Topic: A call to self-examining our gambling habit. - page 7. (Read 1253 times)

Addiction comes slowly, it doesn't settle in a person out of nowhere... It starts with a casual bet, then a bet every day, then several bets a day and when you least expect it the person is already completely involved and addicted, it takes Pay close attention to the signs, it is important to know yourself and always try to adjust your betting route, so as not to be likely to lose everything. Playing is good, winning is good, but it takes responsibility.

You are right, many people say that this can be a habit, that of playing in a casino, it can be but the word addiction can be disguised as a habit, what happens is that addiction has a lot to do with very pronounced side effects, opr For example, the decapitalization of the person, the mere fact of looking for others who can give loans to continue playing or betting, it does not matter, the fact of going to a bank to ask for credit, but in reality use the money to the casino, all these types of financial mistakes that are generally followed, since they are committed by the person who is addicted or is starting to be addicted, so you already have to think about something that could be satisfactory to stop that "habit ".

I know that it has become a cliché to say that casinos are for "enjoyment" and for "having fun even if it means losing money", it is a very popular phrase, but in reality every player who comes to a casino is to win money, and I think that the second option is to convert, for some it is like that, and that is something that they manifest, and in that desire is that all the mistakes are made.

I think that playing every day in the casino is harmful, but doing it 1 or 2 times a week is enough, at least to not fall into addiction and at least to take care of your money a little more.

Gambling excessively doesn't necessarily make you an addict... Time validates everything... But if like you said - that anyone's nursing an addictive urge in them, then the possibilities of converting/regaining themselves back doesn't lie on getting back on track...

"once an addict is always an addict" - that's what the slogan says, So if for any reason, you're tryna wager less and you call it an "avenue" to quit, then you're not just ready. Avoid chasing your loses - that's actually an easy way to get back on the floor

As one who gambles, I always examine myself before and after I engage in gambling activity checking if I am still in control of my gambling habit.  This is the way to check if I have to take a break or continue with my gambling activities.


You are right, ignoring small mistakes can lead to self-destruction since when a person gets used to this mistake and commit this again and again, the outcome of this small mistakes when accumulated will become a huge problem just like a driver ignoring small machine problem of the car he is driving, may lead to accident.




I beg to disagree, self-examing is very possible, it only needs to check or reflect your gambling session, unless you are in denial of something and is avoiding to have a self-check since it can affirm something you are afraid of.  You cannot perform responsible gambling if you do not know where yourself is, nor check if you are doing the right things.  After all, to do responsible gambling, one must be aware of his gambling performance and that can be achieved through self-inspection or self-examination.

I don't need to do this, i know that i am a responsible gambler and i am not staking more money than i should, i feel that gambling addicts know they are staking above what they should, but they don't know how to stop themselves and that is why i always recommend that they need all the help they can get, both from family and also professional help too. If you constantly see yourself staking more money than you can afford to lose, the best thing to do is to stop at that time, and get yourself in order before gambling again.

Gambling is for everyone but it's not for making profits or achieving any kind of status, it is there to kill your time just like every entertainment field. And what is planning and how it really works in gambling?

We can have no expectations while gambling to avoid breakdown when we lose but this is about the addiction which is associated with most of the things in the world even food can be addictive so it all lies in our self discipline and how we maintain our promise of being responsible.

I believe I am responsible gambler since I am not crossing my budget limit in betting, and I only gamble using my spare money. With that, if there are losses, those are always highly manageable. But still, in every loss I endure, I always make it a point to evaluate my gambling habit if it’s still a productive one or not anymore. Most especially for those who are addictive gamblers and are always chasing for bigger wins, the more they need more self-evaluation if they still need to continue gambling or much better to take a break until one can do it for good.

However, the problem is addictive gamblers always get blinded with their greed and will never realized that they have been losing a lot. Self-evaluation won’t work anymore as they need more medical practitioners to aid them in overcoming their addiction.

It will be good for a gambler to practice these so that someone will be able to know how far his or her gambling activities have taken him since he started gambling in their lives. Although I'm not very active in gambling, I still try to always ask myself whenever I want to gamble to know whether it is getting too much or not. If I see that it is getting worse, I normally don't gamble at that moment because, definitely, I already know where it is about to lead me.

So doing these will help a lot of gamblers who are very active in gambling or find it difficult to stop self examination. It will help them to see where the fault is coming from so they will be able to take action, and if it is worth it to gamble again, they will do it, but it is up to them.

Our habit is to always ignore small mistakes every time we gamble. We completely ignore it and consider it just a trivial matter. And without us realizing it, this small mistake continues, and becomes a habitual factor... it becomes a big problem that is difficult for us to get rid of, which only results in losses in the long run.

And there are efforts that I make to prevent myself from impulsive behavior, gambling addiction and other bad habits. I always do a self-evaluation, immediately and after gambling. because if we find a problem and leave it for a long time, it will become increasingly difficult to find a solution. Our habit is to always relax whenever we encounter a small problem, and rush when the problem becomes big. and it's too late, in the end we need the role of other people to help solve the problems we are experiencing.

Don't give yourself much pressure, rather beckon on aiding more sources of streaming profits from the system.Experience will take us far in the system, we can never regret our actions when we have already planned ahead of time and having key moments to entrapped the system to our own favour. We all have problems to deal with this season and there's absolutely no better way than enhancing the system with appropriate technique. Gambling is not for weak, keep emphasizing on this statement because there's a whole to achieve in the system.

In my case, I constantly evaluate myself to maintain my self-control of the game, I always follow my game plan, in a week I only have 1 to 2 days in which I analyze the games and place my bets and after I place my bets I I don't go into the casino to play, I just go into the casino for less than 5 minutes to check how my football bets are going after the games, this way I stay far away from the casino and avoid becoming dependent on gambling, when the person If you don't have discipline, you will hardly last long in gambling without becoming a person addicted to gambling, I've even talked about it here on the forum, that a person who spends many hours playing every day in a casino, eventually this person becomes addicted to gambling

because this person starts to make gambling his only form of entertainment and forgets that in the world there are many other things he can do to have fun and live without having illnesses related to depression. even if a person says they only play 1 hour a day, man this person is still playing every day which is not normal, that person should ask themselves if they can go 1 month without playing, if they can't then that person has become dependent on games of chance, in my case, for example, in a week I just spend 1 to 2 days analyzing the games and place my bets and I don't bet again, and even in those 1 to 2 days when I analyze the games, I don't take many hours, also during the period when there are no games I also stop placing sports bets, this helps a lot with my self control

The thing about self-examination and restriction is that they save you a lot of stress and possible loss because sometimes you can be over-gambling and at the same time the ability to put a stop to it at some point,  what I do mostly and each week is to time myself to see how many times I have gamble beyond my limits.

And if I discover that I have gambled too much in a week,  I put effort into staying off gambling totally for a while and then resume back with a limit that is lower than what I used before.

Many individual just gamble without realising that they're gambling like addicts, they don't know that they're addicted as addicts don't know that they're addicted too. They think that the way that they're gambling is normal as they wouldn't see things wrong with what they're doing but if we self examine ourselves, we'll realized that we're doing things that only addicts are supposed to be doing. Many of use are gambling above our limit but we don't know this as we aren't observing how much we're spending when gambling.

If we're to observe, we won't be spending that much money as we know we can't make it back from gambling as gambling has more of losses than winning. The amount of money that we have lost gambling, if  we didn't spend them on bets we would have been able to invest that amount and made alot of profits for ourselves but as we think gambling is the easiest way to make profits but we're losing more money.

Self examining is not really possible in my opinion because we always try to make the desired outcome as we wished to be so if there is any program that examines our addictive quality then it's good or else just keep remembering ourselves about the responsible gambling and what can be the outcome of you derail from the track and you can keep yourself updated with real life experiences to give yourself a warning why you shouldn't do that.

Once you have your monitoring of you activities you can easily check this one and it’s always advisable to revisit your activities and know what went wrong why you lose that much of money. I don’t have any problem with my gambling activities because I do gamble occasionally but still, I always make sure that I gamble responsibly because on mistake in gambling can still leas to addiction, so be cautious for your every decisions.

Yeah it would have been necessary to do but the issue is that the moment you even think about this then it means your habits are still in check because I believe crazy  gamblers that are very wild with their gambling habits will never think about this because they even in a second tell their self that they need help. Well I suppose this is not for everyone because some gambler do need to access their habit because they can easily play past their limit even the one they have set for themselves.

So, like an audit?
These things don't work.
An addict is inherently incapable of being unbiased towards themselves, therefore it's impossible for an addict to assert a mental health condition.
In other words, a psychoanalysis has to be performed by a third party.
No I don't o it for 2 reasons. One, I'm not an addict, two it's impossible to do by definition.

Actually it is very important to not chase more losses and  also we need Tobe careful in gambling cause once got a mistake then we will loss a lot of money. That's the reason why we have sayings that. We must use our money bro gamble which is we gonna afford to lose. Cause if we are playing for sun then we don't think that we will gonna win much bigger in short we are contented in small winnings.  But if we gamble for profit then it's a big loss if we chase more losses.

We can continue to gamble but it do comes with easy tasks, never back out because gambling takes over everything when it comes to earning vast profits by staying home. The only thing that can save most of us is simply ensure you don't you don't overstep your measures and never gamble above your available means, most important, know when to stop. There are people that are fighting really hard to exits the gambling space and there are people that are willing to do everything within the space to ensure everything comes smooth from the system.

There are people who approach gambling to be something of less concern, we can't blame them because they may not understand all it means by saying someone is gambling addicted. Whatever way we want to see it, we should always read meaning to it because people are just not understanding the effect of gambling addiction. We should be ready to focus and do things that would never trigger us to go into gambling completely.

There are people that are trying hard to leave gambling but there is nothing they can do because the spirit is always attractive and making them to see opportunities in every gambling activities. We need define what we really wants from gambling and focus on how to achieve that.
