Topic: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting - page 17. (Read 7732 times)

It will really be challenging to adhere and stick to your limitations because the temptations are real. It will be hard to be consistent at first, but good habits are built over time anyways. It's okay to fall short at some circumstances, what matters is that you are aware of your shortcomings, and you are more than willing to think of ways on how to overcome it and to do better next time. That way, you'll build a good habit of not breaking your boundaries and only spends time and money that you allocated for gambling initially, not going overboard.

I guess most gamblers struggle into this area as much as anyone else. The only difference is the discipline - whether they would be swayed or keep their stance. Putting pressure to yourself won't help as much as overthinking winning. So just enjoy the game, be sport about it, and focus on your progress not on others. Because the time you compare, you will steal your own joy and you might even be pushed into betting more than you are capable of.

Yes, as long as all the planned rules can be implemented in a consistent manner, it will definitely be fine, but in fact it is very difficult to adhere to these commitments, even some people or myself still make mistakes ignoring the plans that I have previously arranged and it is normal if this happens, the most important thing is that I still I have the effort to try to gamble responsibly without having to get closer to addiction because to be honest, I'm still a little afraid of experiencing addiction.
So, whatever efforts are suggested by other people, I always listen to them, appreciate them and also try them, even though sometimes they don't meet my expectations, there's definitely no harm in trying.
As you and I said knowing when to stop betting is what I always try to avoid bad impacts when gambling and maybe other gamblers can understand this.

As long as everything is according to the plan the chance of getting addicted is by far, I mean like what you mentioned if you set limits and you are not exceeding or you are okay when you already lose it all and stop, but if in anyhow you add more money and you keep playing the chance of losing a lot and engaging a lot will take place, it's open the door for more gambling sessions without any planning.

From that point of view, getting addicted due to irresponsible way of gambling is possible to take place.

I would say that when people are in an addiction process things are different because they first focus a lot on doing things better and when they have the first relapse it is the worst, because everything they have achieved or done in work they lose and the thing is like worse because basically when you try to do things better a job can go wrong due to poor management by the same person, low self-esteem can serve as a basis for things to go wrong, then someone is addicted. You have to have everything, the will and the determination to get out of that ugly problem, and you should not blame others or for a possible treatment that is not given, this is the only thing that can be talked about so that things can be done like this, However, as in any addiction, relapses are the worst, it is always recommended that people, when they are at the height of their addiction, begin with a few gaming sessions without stopping.

For some players, when they know they are addicted, the fact that things are now quite strong gets out of hand. Any problem or possible addiction causes most people to lose control and not get along well with what they do. Well, then it could be said that the fight against addiction should take place under any scheme, I have already said it many times in the forum and I feel that many people here have problems with this, because I feel that there are people who have addiction problems and that is why this topic can be very delicate, that is why every advice that is said here is valuable for the person who seeks help, for my part I will always say that the best thing is to seek professional help, in case you cannot, then the best and Let him see if a plan can be made where he reduces the gaming sessions and can play with less money, if he plays 3 times a day, then he plays 2 times a day , and thus he Improves more and more in the next week, and above all all doing Sports.

Don't allow yourself get to the point of addiction because it is when you get addicted you then start to put up habits as drinking and others probably to help you was off the pains off your losses which on the long run you never get to forget those losses by drinking or drugs.

Most times these guidelines help to gamble responsibly but it's sad that most persons fail to be disciplined enough to want to keep to these guidelines which would have helped them become better persons regardless of their gambling habits, discipline is one key factor they should be considered because you could have a strategy and plans as well but if you are not disciplined you will still fail at it.

From your statement, what I understand is that chasing defeat is unnecessary and just needs to be ignored.
It very important for us to remain committed to plan that has been made before placing bet, planning using budget that we can afford to lose which will prevent from feeling like chasing losses and this way it always said by several people on this forum because of the way we this discussion very easy to say but very difficult to do.
But as long as someone wants to learn how to gamble healthily, there no harm continuing to learn control all for their own good.

Well and that means as I said that they come because they see and are tempted from the victory that other people managed to get without seeing how much money the other people spent to get the big win, basically they did not see from various sides before finally deciding to follow and want the same fate as that person. The only thing on their mind is how they can get the victory like others get when on the other hand for this problem there is no way that can make them have the same fate as others except only luck will answer it.  This is a wrong mindset because every gambler has their own luck and in terms of time they will not know when they will be lucky, that's clear. Yes I also hope so, hopefully they can change their mindset as soon as possible so as not to suffer too much defeat which ultimately makes them regret it. That's right, of course over time if they continue to think like that then they will unconsciously enter the real addiction zone, so even though other people can win that way it doesn't mean you will have the same fate as them even by following the way like them.

Honestly it's out of our control and maybe we can only hope for the best for them to sober up soon.

A classic gambler's fallacy, right? Thinking "Hey, that could be me next!" after seeing someone win. We know that's a one-way trip to addiction. Gambling thrives on this faith that luck can be found. It's about knowing the odds and when to stop, not chance. Change mindsets, you're right. Our brains are wired to follow the winner, assuming their route will lead to success. It's like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. What works for one may not work for another. People will benefit sooner if they understand this. Gambling isn't a fairy tale with happy endings. Self-awareness matters. You can't influence others' reality wake-up calls. Keep yourself from slipping into the same trap. Mindfulness and knowing limitations are key. Gambling should be fun, not addictive. Stay focused and don't let the massive win deceive you.

They won't think about what that person went through before they finally got a big win and just think that they can get a big win too. But that is wrong thinking because not all gamblers can get their big wins, and only those who really get their luck can win big. They have to change their mindset like that so that they don't become addicted to gambling because, after all, sooner or later, thinking like that will make them addicted to gambling that they won't realize. More people have thoughts like that when they see other people can win big easily and then decide to follow what that person does. But the reality will not be like what they imagine.

Yes, we can't be sure when they will wake up. We can only hope that they can quickly realize their mistakes so that they can learn from all their mistakes. We can only take care of ourselves while gambling so that we don't experience the same mistakes as them.

Better to have that kind of mindset, just stay calm as possible and accept the defeats and re-try to assess your strategy and try to find another set whenever you are already mentally recharge, chasing losses can only lead you to addiction and that's not a good way to treat this venue of entertainment or whatever you think you are aiming as some may really coming to make money, as long as you still have that control over your emotions then it's okay to move forward.

Yes, in my opinion, the initial problem that makes them finally stuck in such a cycle is that they come in a hurry because they see other people who managed to get a big win so that in their arrival they did not think at all about what risks there are in gambling, and in my opinion that is why they are stuck in a slump. Conditions like this are indeed very confusing in my opinion, it is true that there are still many logical suggestions for them but all of that is too late buddy, they will be very difficult to accept advice from others if they have entered the addiction zone, because it is clear as you said that all they think about is satisfaction in gambling, not at all thinking about what the impact will be as terrible someday.

Honestly, if the condition is like that, I can't be sure when they can realize their mistakes, maybe they can only wait for the time, hopefully they can really get bored with gambling and can realize all their mistakes, that's all.

A loser today can turned to be a winner tomorrow in gambling. There's always this remorseful thoughts that flew across my mind whenever I'm gambling, everyday is an opportunity in the system and today is not the last day to try again, these statements along will refrained from taking another hand in gambling and always go straight to home. Losing is usually a normal activity that's carried out in the system which everyone doesn't seem surprised any longer, rather what keeps us tense is when our games doesn't go according to my plans, I mean our main games that we solely depend on.

That is why if you approach gambling, you must be prepared for all the consequences because many people are not ready for the risks behind gambling, so many of them end up experiencing gambling addiction without being able to cure their gambling addiction. They don't realize that they are actually addicted to gambling and don't want to stop before they are satisfied with getting what they want. Perhaps we have also seen this happen to people close to us, so we witnessed firsthand what happened to that person and especially their family, who could not endure what that person experienced.

Therefore, if you feel that you are getting too close to gambling, you should immediately distance yourself from gambling because it will make it difficult for you to leave gambling, especially if you just want to use gambling to get pleasure. In fact, if you realize it, you can get other pleasures that don't require money to get. You will not be able to see that you are actually too deep in gambling. Even if someone else advises you to leave gambling, you will not believe that he is telling the truth.

This means that people who have successfully cured themselves still have the possibility of returning to gambling, especially if advertisements on the internet easily provoke them. Perhaps they can still stop themselves from gambling when they see the advertisements around them because they feel they have recovered from their gambling addiction. But after they browse the internet and find more advertisements, they feel they want to know what the development of gambling is because they never see casinos anymore. That is the starting point for them returning to gambling because they have seen advertisements on the internet. The influence of the internet is so strong that even those who have recovered from gambling addiction can return to gambling again.

We must always be careful not to be influenced by anything we see on the internet because the influence of the internet is very strong, and even people who have recovered from gambling addiction can return to gambling if they cannot control themselves after seeing advertisements on the internet. For people who are still unstable they will easily become addicted to gambling because by just seeing the advertisements, they will be curious and want to prove it directly by depositing their money to gamble. But after playing gambling for a while, they didn't find what they saw to be true, and that actually made them even more curious because they couldn't get it yet, so they kept trying. Even though they have succeeded in getting it, they want to get more, so they finally decide to use more, but in the end, they are the ones who experience more losses.

Of course that's the main thing that they have to realize and bring in every gambling involvement, self-control or limits will have an important role for your safety in the activity, why? because for the final result always runs depending on your luck and there is no certainty at all for a better result, usually in gambling the average final result is disappointing and far from expectations, which is why many end up horrible and beyond expectations when they come with an unreasonable mindset.

Casinos create systems only to benefit themselves, which is why there are so many temptations in gambling, none other than because it is to trap you, and if you are careless and get into the addiction zone then yes the casino smiles at the losers who want to make money by just hoping for luck. So yes you said the right thing, gambling just for fun is better, with that I think you will avoid things that are not wanted.

Control of how we gamble is what is going to help us to be a better gambler. Self discipline is what is going to work for us nit just trying to gamble and make money for ourselves. It is good for us to watch the way we gamble so that we can know when we are going too far in gambling. We gamblers need to have a system or how to detect when we are going too far in gambling. If we want to earn more and live a better lifestyle as a gambler, we need to make sure that we stick to gambling rules so that we don't go too far as a gambler ans end us losing more than we can afford to gain.

You are right in what you said, but it is also important that you have control over yourself and your emotions. Always think that gambling is just entertainment, don't expect to win big in gambling because that's impossible and if you always lose, that's normal in gambling, don't overthink and chase your loser. Just think that that loss is compensation for the entertainment that gambling gave you.

Yes, that may be true, I slightly agree with something that seems to match the reality experienced by the gamblers there. True, their quality of life can suffer as a result of gambling that they have absolutely no control over in their minds, so it is only natural that gamblers always have strange assumptions and expectati ons.

Yes, for people who have managed to go through a difficult period such as the process of refraining from all temptations from gambling and managed to get out of the addiction  zone, they will be able to find out about what things they should avoid, because of course they certainly don't want the mistakes of the past to be repeated again, but it also depends on the person because obviously everyone has a different personality and nature, especially for those who have a character easily provoked and provoked, it is quite difficult to be able to do something like that, And I think they will only be able to realize by recognizing the signs that they will be worse off if they continue gambling. I think that only applies to those who are not too addicted, because as you said before for those who are already addicted, their  mindset is very disturbed and all they  want is gambling, nothing else and that is the  reason why they are difficult even just to look for signs that can have a worse impact..

Many of us treat gambling badly because we lose there. My question is how can I call gambling bad if I do everything according to my own and no one forces me. How do those who benefit from gambling view gambling? What I want to say is that I don't want to put any blame on gambling as I am responsible for good and bad. As a general advice that is always said this is not a money making place. One should not be greedy in the gambling space. If a gambler does not accept all these advice, what is the point of blaming gambling? We gamblers need to get our intentions right first. I think if the intention or aim is right then gambling cannot have any bad impact.

when people have many problems in the real world, problems such as: lack of employment, many debts, many bills to pay while earning a very low salary, when people lose a relative who was very dear to them, when the person has been bullied at school, at work and as a consequence this person doesn't leave the house much and after months this person doesn't leave the house anymore, so these people who are in these conditions when they encounter gambling, they easily become addicted, because the game becomes the only thing that allows them to forget the problems, the pain they have in the real world.

but the problem with this starts when the time and money that these people spend starts to get out of control and as they don't talk to anyone, and as they don't tell anyone that they play, then it becomes very difficult for people to find out that they play and how As a result, it takes a long time for relatives and friends to discover that person Z or relative Y has become addicted. In most cases, people around the addict find out about the addiction very late. I already had relatives who were addicted and the end and the suffering that it caused us was very great. It is not easy to deal with an addicted person, if the relatives are not very strong, then they will lose the long battle to save the addict

People who are addicted to gambling will experience a decline in their quality of life, which cannot be improved in a short time because their minds are already disturbed by thoughts about gambling. Hence, they only want to gamble without doing other things. But a person already knows and is starting to be aware of the changes that occur in him, as shown by the initial symptoms, namely the desire to return to gambling even though they have just finished gambling. Those who recognize these signs and can prevent these signs from escalating will take precautions in the form of tightening restrictions on their gambling activities and perhaps reducing their gambling time. But this is not easy to do because it requires discipline and self-control as well as responsibility so that they can truly obey the rules they make. If they can, they will not become addicted to gambling because an alarm will sound that will tell them to stop gambling immediately.
