Avoiding temptation requires good self-control so we can say no when we see an attractive promotion. We can stay away from gambling if we don't want to gamble because gambling is not very important to us. We only use gambling as entertainment and also do not do it as often as we should. But if people are always tempted when they see the promotion, they will just try to get it because they think this is the opportunity they have been waiting for.

It is difficult to be a wise gambler because they have to be able to see the situation and decide exactly what they should do. They will not force themselves to continue gambling if the situation does not allow it and will only leave the casino rather than experience bad things.

They will always be careless because they don't pay attention to what has happened to them when they have experienced financial losses but don't realize it. They have had the opportunity to win some money and instead of withdrawing their winnings, they continue gambling because they want to win even bigger. But that only turned their win into an even greater loss than before. This happens because they are greedy and want an even bigger win. Every gambler should know that when they win, especially a lot of money, they should immediately cash out their winnings and leave the casino to save themselves and their money. They still have a lot of time to gamble and instead continue gambling.

This cannot be done easily, especially if they do not have strong self-control, which many gamblers have experienced. This must not influence us because we must be responsible with ourselves when gambling and must leave immediately after winning a lot of money. Becoming a wise gambler requires time and practice, which is what we have to do so that we don't gamble too much.

Gamblers thinking needs to be changed to not think about winning, but that won't be possible because many gamblers still want to win. Even though they have experienced a big loss, that still doesn't stop them from continuing to gamble, especially since the temptation of gambling is very big and can make them gamble again. That's why every gambler must have good self-control to be able to resist temptations that come and also to prevent even bigger losses.

And so that gamblers do not return to gambling more often, they must have other activities that can distract them from thinking about gambling. They have to do other activities to keep them busy so that their gambling activities can be reduced and they don't even have free time just to gamble. It will make them slowly reduce their gambling activities but that is only for those who are willing to do it.

Isn't it funny how we rationalize others' decisions? Impulsivity can lead to irrational decisions, therefore you're right. Consider "bounded rationality," where human decision-making is limited by knowledge, cognitive limits, and time. This may have been rational in his situation. Self-control, a virtue often admired but hard to practice, may have influenced his gambling abstinence. Like a strict diet, it's hard but important for long-term health. Isn't he putting long-term health over short-term gain by not gambling?

You think he's denying himself luck. May this be a purposeful move to avoid pitfalls? Gambling is risky. Isn't he protecting himself from financial ruin and addiction's psychological effects by leaving? In life and entertainment, knowing when to back off is smart. Instead of being foolish, this choice may show his strength and wisdom. Could what we assume is a lack of thinking be deeper introspection?

Perhaps, they are called wise gamblers because they know what is good for them. They don't just know how to control themselves but also, they know how to remain responsible despite the losses they get.

If we all had that kind of mindset, we would never hear people doing stupid things like suicide and huge debts, it all went so well. But too unfortunate that we all have different gambling approaches, and most of us lose our temper and self-control. That is why many gamblers have been in the struggle to control their emotions and have fallen into addiction.

Gambling is risky. We cant sugarcoat. The problem is the gambler's thinking, not gambling. They gamble why? For excitement or escape? Realizing this can change game. Moderation matters. I support prudent gambling, not a ban. Financial and time restrictions are essential. Life control is at stake, not just money. Smart gamblers play to have fun, not to win money.

Last but not least, support systems. An outside perspective might help gamblers stop the loss and frustration cycle. This might come from friends, family, or professionals. It's not enough to resist temptation; you must also comprehend why. Gambling should be optional.

people are funny,lol,how can someone take this kind of love on oneself knowing fully well that he will be tempted to play someday.There are people who are just ready to do anything without proper thinking.Did he think before he embarked on such self restriction?I don't think so because if he had taken a deep thought of the actions,he would have known that he is also hindering himself from getting the kind of luck he got the first time.Well,maybe he made such move because he knew he wasn't going to go to any Casino hall to gamble again,or he did that to put an end to his gambling life, because he said it has been 10 years now since he gambled.But to me,I think the move was not a wise move.

You are right and it is necessity that they no longer care about and they will only care about how to continue playing and win some profit.
But when they use more and more money in gambling, it is always with careless attitude and of course this will end up being very detrimental financially and even affecting their emotions and psychology.
Just imagine they get win but don't make wise decision by withdrawing the winnings but instead use the winnings to bet again in the hope of making bigger win.
And if they experience defeat, they don't immediately stop, but try to recover their losses by adding certain amount of betting money.
These two attitudes are the key to gambler downfall and these two attitudes have caused many gamblers to experience the various problems they face.

Every gambler must always have the right approach if they don't want bad things to happen and of course it not just about approach but also wise or responsible attitude.

But the question is, can it be done easily?
I don't think so and looking at the various problems that occur and are experienced by every gambler, it can be concluded that the majority of gamblers have difficulty in having the right approach and wise and responsible attitude towards the gambling activities they carry out.

Agree with you, that the temptation to gamble is very big and only a few people are able to resist the temptation. As you said, one of them is a wise gambler, they can play wisely by limiting their money and when to play, especially if they really understand the risks in gambling so that a wise gambler is not so much after winning as it is for entertainment.
Therefore, wise gamblers play naturally and they know that winning is very difficult to achieve, so when they feel bored, it is time for them to stop for a moment and think about something else that is useful for them.

Like what is even the essence of getting his name banned and flagged if he can still continue gambling with a winning limit of $200 like this is insanity, had it been he did that in other to quit gambling it would have been better but what he just did doesn't really change anything but it's just an act of childishness because I'm yet to figure out the motive of his silly decision.

Preventive measures and reducing the risk of losing money when gambling is a must for gamblers. Unfortunately, many gamblers don't pay attention to this because they want to win and instead use more and more money to gamble. They don't win but lose, making them even more frustrated because they can't win the gambling game. Gambling provides great temptation to all gamblers, and only wise gamblers can avoid this temptation and gamble comfortably because they don't think too much about winning. They can make decisions to avoid gambling when they don't feel like gambling.

This is similar to how a person, being a drug addict, handcuffs himself to a radiator or to some pipe, or locks himself in a cage and throws away the key. In my opinion, this step is quite radical; it could have been avoided. This is usually decided upon only in extreme cases, when there is no longer a way out. But usually it is difficult for gamblers to stop and such radical measures are stopped only mechanically. But the addiction still remains in my head. And this is the most important thing. You need to fight the cause, and not tie your hands. And the reason is often that a person does not fully understand his capabilities, chances, advantages and limitations.

Therefore, responsible behavior is very important when carrying out gambling activities. By behaving well, we can prevent and reduce the impact of the risk of losing a lot of money when gambling by limiting the money we use there. How lucky someone would be if they did this when they wanted to gamble, yes of course the temptation will also be there but it depends on how we ourselves make decisions whether we are easily tempted or not.😁

Yes, only by being responsible can a person prevent losses that are too big and also, by being responsible, can he avoid the temptations that come to him, especially since we know that in gambling, there will be lots of temptations that we will encounter. If we cannot be responsible, we will lose self-control, which will trigger an even bigger impact on gambling. We can experience a gambling addiction that we never imagined before, so that's what we avoid. Both experienced and inexperienced gamblers must be able to be responsible when playing gambling. If we can be responsible, we will become gamblers who are wise in responding to what happens in gambling.

That's right, this is a responsible method or step in gambling, with this a person will not experience many losses in gambling as long as they do it optimally and remain confident that they can do it. Yes, perhaps in the future there will be obstacles and temptations, but personal awareness of good behavior when gambling will reduce the risk of gambling. Indeed, this is not easy for gamblers, both those who are addicted and those who are new, but for experienced gamblers, this is something they have prepared or even done beforehand, even though the results are not necessarily on target or exactly what they want, but at least they've tried.😁

I guess his beginners luck was actually all his luck at ones. Winning such amount just on his first trials. But him coming thinking he can hit the jackpot that easy again. I keep on saying most first gambling by a gambler is always a win to lure a particular gambler in to gambling with hope of hitting that same jackpot that easy or getting rich quick. And which can lead to gambling addictions that why he keep on going again to the extent of using his house rent that just too much. Please guys just try and control the urge of gambling with your hard earn cashes. And always know When to stop.

You are conveying ways to become a responsible gambler, which requires continuous practice, which may never stop because gambling situations are always changing. By knowing the risks, a gambler will be careful and not take too big a risk because he is worried that it will make his losses bigger too. He will try to control himself when gambling and not force himself to gamble excessively. He knew that if he did that, he would lose an amount of money, probably more than he could afford. He will try to minimize the losses that will arise, including managing his money well. And if he has had enough of gambling, he can leave the casino without thinking about the results he received.

Seeing the advantages and disadvantages of gambling is a behavior that gamblers must know because in this way gamblers will try to behave appropriately when gambling. What you said is true, that someone already knows the advantages and disadvantages of gambling, they will think about how to do this with full introspection so that the risks are not too big later.
Therefore, the thing that must be considered when gambling is good control, discipline and caution so that later it doesn't have a big impact when playing and can actually minimize this impact.

If you are someone who do always having on how to make money or simply minding about getting rich then getting yourself rid with gambling would really be that so hard.This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that wary on the things that you've been dealing with. It is really just that impossible that you cant really be able to picture out on whats its cons and pros
if tending to engage in so much time. For someone who do make out actions which is really that way more than on usual just for them to quit up or avoid gambling then it is really always considered to be a considerable act. Basing up on whats shown or told in op on such condition then it is really just that right or something that good to do specially if you do found yourself already
that addicted then it would be better to stop and find ways for you to be able to avoid it no matter what the cost.

It's true, it's difficult to get rid of or stop our gambling addiction if we don't believe in trying to recover and get out of this behavior. That the help of other people or special treatment alone will not be optimal in curing it because gambling addiction originates from within a person who is affected psychologically and that is what gamblers fear most. Because people who are addicted, their behavior will change 180 degrees from what was previously fine to dangerous and unreasonable.

It's hard to get rid of gambling addiction, we know that
but still he did his best to help himself because he is the only one who can help himself, not everyone can do that especially if you are addicted to gambling. As I said "he already knew where his gambling addiction was going" because few people know if they are addicted to gambling.

Gambling is not a way to earn money and only those who know when to stop can go a long way with it and not get addicted, he realized this soon which is good for him and he has set an example for every gambler that doesn't realize what they are doing until they get themselves completely stuck with this addiction and then can't get out of it no matter how hard they try. He proved that if you decide to do it, you don't even need someone else as you are enough for it.

Leaving an addiction becomes harder if you don't have the willpower required to stay away from it. A person needs a lot of patience and self-control to be able to keep themselves away from what they are addicted to if they have gone too deep. That's why, one needs to leave it as soon as they realize that they are getting addicted just like this guy.
