In my opinion, winning in gambling is a pleasant addition to the game and nothing more, and losing is a natural event that is explained mathematically. If a gambler seeks only to win, then losses negatively affect him, which ultimately leads to problems.

Play for fun and when you are lucky enough to win you will be immensely pleased.

Wise gamblers are winners, not in the way that they win the prize but because they learn how to decline temptation and are able to manage their gambling habits that won't compromise their finances and family relationships. Because it is important that we know how to control emotions as this is a huge factor that affects our gambling habits.

We must learn how to accept losses and we must know our position. We are not the house that always wins which is why we need not think about winning but instead, think of just having fun.

Good observation. I too think that within a game you can be "hooked" to it or whatever, especially if it makers your experience more vivid, why not? But when the game is over you have to move on, and it's very important to understand that your thoughts must be free from gambling when you are doing something else. That's your first clue: if can't think of anything but gambling all the time, maybe you start developing an addiction and you have to do something about it.

If they regret what they have done and try to change it by taking action to improve, they will have the opportunity to improve what they have done. It does take time but if they consistently try to improve it, they will not regret doing it because it is for the sake of solving their problems and so that they do not get too deep into their gambling activities. They will understand that gambling is just for fun and not to chase wins or make money. No, it's not like that. And when they start to see changes happening to them, they will try to continue it and try not to cross their limits in gambling.

Only they can learn responsibility, not other people, because other people can only give advice and suggestions, so they have to do it. After all, it was still worth doing because it was for their good too. And if they eventually correct their mistakes, they can enjoy gambling as they should and will not exceed their limits. For them, responsibility in gambling is very important so that they can gamble relaxedly and have no desire to chase victory because it will be difficult for them to get it. They will also let victory come to them and not chase victory.

It really depends on the tolerance of each person towards gambling. I always become hook on gambling whenever I’m playing but I stop thinking about gambling after my game. The problem of people that usually get addicted was they still keep daydreaming to win big even after gambling. Continuous thinking about gambling is what makes uncontrollable that later result to addiction.

You can become hook on gambling without being addicted if you know when to stop and play.

Youre right. If someone gets hooked on gambling, it messes up their mindset and makes it hard to turn things around. Keeping it in check and knowing the risks helps. If they're in it for the right reasons, they can get out of trouble and avoid the constant gambling trap.

Gambler becomes addicted to gambling it becomes very difficult to make positive changes his thoughts or views will be different which will lead him to more damage. Then nothing good will work in his mind he will continue to gamble. That's why gambling should be done in a limited way knowing the bad ways of gambling. A gambler can easily get himself out of trouble if his intentions are right.

Your insights on the challenges faced by gamblers and the crucial role of personal responsibility and mindset are thought-provoking. Indeed, acknowledging one's faults and taking proactive steps towards positive change is essential.

If it just ordinary problems and annoyances in life then I not sure they will be able to truly realize that everything is their own fault because they have failed to have an understanding and approach when gambling.
There are many gamblers out there who have experienced various problems and disorders but they still act like someone who cannot think clearly, they still make various mistakes in every gambling activity.
A gambler can truly have new understanding and awareness if they have experienced very difficult problem and they cannot solve it, from here they will initially regret it and then try to think and take several actions to be better.

In fact, everyone has sense of responsibility, except when they were children, sense of responsibility is an innate attitude and those who fail to always use an attitude of responsibility are people who are no longer able to think well because of the impact of addiction.
Mindset is always the main factor in success and of course it is the mindset that directs everyone towards more correct path in every decision.

If he cannot reduce his gambling problem or limit himself from gambling, he does have the possibility to continue gambling because he has been gambling for a long time, and he still finds it difficult to limit his gambling. But from what @OP mentioned, the guy hasn't been near a casino in over 10 years. That might prove he managed to control himself by not gambling for that long.

If he really did limit himself that way, he had already proven it. But we don't know the truth and only realize that such methods can indeed provide support to someone who wants to stay away from gambling. People with the same intentions can use many other methods as this man.

Gambling, like many other activities, involves an element of risk. It's an entertainment option for many, but it can quickly turn into a problem when not approached with caution. Having a predetermined plan ensures that people are aware of their limits and are less likely to succumb to impulsive behavior. The allure of gambling can be powerful, and the risk of losing control is real.

People can create a framework that acts as a barrier against impulsive decision-making by planning ahead and setting strict guidelines. It allows them to make rational choices. about how much time and money they are willing to invest in gambling activities. The thrill of the game and the desire to recoup losses can cloud judgment. Having a predetermined plan acts as a safeguard against such emotions to ensure that decisions are based on logic rather than emotional impulses.

I think guy wasn't on his way to addiction because it would be too late if he was. When you can stop, when you can  for a ban for yourself or things like that, you are a healthy person and everything should be OK with you. Many people who really need the same approach, they can't unfortunately do that because they can't control themselves. It's a terrible situation when yo can't control yourself, I don't know what can be worse. Try not to let it get to that point, guys.

Yes, with good planning, as gamblers we will not lose a lot of money there because we are equipped with the right principles. And it is also possible that we will not become addicts because we already know the negative risks that will be experienced in gambling. It is true that everything is not as easy as we say, but with good self-control we can anticipate it early on and gamblers must really pay attention to this, so that it doesn't become a disaster later on.

In the case of the man that OP has mentioned, there's no way that's going to make a dent to his gambling problem because he's still gambling and at the same time he's still gambling right and it's much worse because he's also limited when it comes to wins which means it's all losses for him.

When they experience a breakdown in gambling, they will begin to realize that everything was their fault for not wanting to think about what they had done. Once they realize it and are willing to try to fix it, they still have the opportunity to do so. Many people make mistakes but only a few people can realize their mistakes while they continue to make other mistakes. It won't change the situation and will only keep making mistakes. But if they can finally regret their mistakes and try to correct them, they can change things for the better. And with the lessons they get, they can become wise gamblers who will not follow their egos in gambling.

Indeed, it will never be easy because we must learn to have responsibility first. If their consciousness tells them that they are ready to learn the necessary things, they will start to change their mindset and start being responsible for what they do in gambling. They can also change the bad things in their lives to become responsible gamblers.

Well, we are players because in view of our Experience we can make good or bad Decisions , Depending on what we have in mind, for example, if we are conscious people , we know that things in the casino are Difficult, that the way to win is Difficult. and that all the time things will be done to improve, in this sense if we are always going to see things in other ways then we have to study that we will always have options to make a process Better , in this case in the casino game, for example we can improves the way we spend our money, we cannot stick to the fact that we must always be good with what we do, if we feel like we are going to lose, then Eventually we go and lose, we have to pay attention to those feelings, but we must also be intelligent If we have a hunch that we are Going to have a large profit and we have a Ready Profit , in our case we must apply our Intelligence, or bet with everything or a large Amount , but Rather bet with very little money, this will Continue to Extend the profits. .

If we make bets with a large Amount of money , it is likely that things will get there and we will ask for everything, that works like that, because it is what we personally consider to be the advantage that the casino offers and exercises over us regular Players , letting us read through it. the emons thinking that I love to multiply our profits by 3 or 4 and when we Confront ourselves with the reality is that we have lost everything, then if we are on a roll and we have a lot of gains, and we feel comfortable, it is good to lower the score if we can at the Minimum because if it is to win, then let us Continue Winning with the Minimum bet and not with the Maximum or with a somewhat large Amount , because if we lose, then all the work we have done goes to the Ground , and that emotion we had becomes in tirstea and without money in a Casino because things are not Moving forward and we can't do much.

But there will be one condition that can make them aware, namely when they really experience destruction which makes them feel difficulties that they cannot resolve, this will be very effective in giving them much better thinking and also the realization that they have made many mistakes.
Maybe there are still some people who have experienced destruction but still make mistakes, but as time goes by they will truly regret it and of course will blame themselves for every action that has occurred.
I believe conditions like this can change everything, including addicted gamblers.

It looks quite difficult and of course not all gamblers can have responsible attitude, but if awareness exists then slowly every gambler will be able to make decisions and have more responsible mindset.
Everything is just about conditions and also time to be able to have these changes.

But from what I've read on what the man did, he's still gambling and he just made it difficult for himself to win something big which for me is a foolish move since he's still gambling and I would've said it's admirable if he banned himself that he's not allowed to play anymore but no, that's not the case on this one so this guy is a fool for me.

Effective control and prevention of gambling addiction require proactive planning and adherence to principles. It's crucial to set clear limits beforehand and stick to them, resisting the urge to deposit more funds once the designated amount is exhausted. Waiting to control impulses during gambling poses a significant risk, so self-discipline and responsible planning are paramount for a safer gaming experience.

That's the only way out of gambling addiction. You either plan your gambling life well and follow the principles squarely, or risk losing it all, including your mind to gambling addiction. Its very difficult to fight the urge to continue throwing money into gambling, even for very experienced gamblers, the only remedy is to plan yourself before hand and set aside only the about you've designed for gambling when your eye is still clear and decide by yourself not to deposit more funds if it gets exhausted, its finding means the end of a gambling session.
That's the only way. Waiting to control yourself while gambling is a great risk, all prevention and controls should be done before the gambling session starts to be on the very much safe side.
