Topic: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting - page 22. (Read 7496 times)

Isn't it because of the ability to have sufficient amount of money with us in our casino wallet is part of what encourages us gamble as we like, sometimes is because we lack having enough responsibilities on us, the little we have we often gamble with them always, i want to believe that life itself is in stages, maybe the current phase we are will be what will be our lesson to learn in the future if we did not take care of how we gamble now.

I believe the first point of the OP is what we need to abide and be firm with ourself.
Because if we will set the funds that we can use for gambling and stick with it, we won't have much problems.
But the dilemma of most gamblers is that they keep on going even if they exceeded their set limits.
Hoping that they will recover such losses up until it is already too late to get out of.

The inability of people to judge themselves and their actions accordingly and fairly without biased judgement is what drag many into the possible situation they experience sometimes and that is what most of us must have to come to term with and being able to stand in the right position to make the right decision and to place ourselves in a position where our actions will not push us into something that we may not likely be comfortable with it outcome at some point.

First thing first since we know that sometimes we allow ourselves to be carried away by our inability to refrain from excessive action so for that we have to make a pre-plan of what we follow and how we manage to follow them fairly.

Or simply they have already that notice it out but they are really that on that verge of denial and do still continue on the thing that they are doing and when they do see someone do make out such act then its true that they would really be emphasizing or would really be that focusing on others fault rather than on minding out themselves which it is re ally just that a very common human behavior.
Its not already that shocking that people would really be something like this on which they do love on getting involved or making comments with others without looking up on the things that do happening into them.

Well, sooner or later then these fellas would really be able to realize that they had made themselves that already addicted into gambling and will really be that realizing
when its too late. This had been always the case on which wrong things do happen first before you would be able to find out that you are doing the bad thing.
You wont really be coming into such situation if you are really just that mindful enough on things.

There have been many studies that demonstrate that people have a lot of problems to judge themselves and they are incredibly partial when it comes to their actions, basically they can easily find fault in others but they cannot do the same when it comes to themselves, so it is not surprising that a person could be obviously addicted and anyone around them saw this but the person which is suffering through this problem does not realize it, even if the signs this is the case could not be more clear.

Well said Fredomago !!! Most people don't even believe that they have a gambling disorder because they feel that they are gaming within their limits. However, a close observation of their gambling activity will prove that they are suffering from gambling addiction. After acknowledging that they have a problem, the next step should be the willingness to break free from this addiction. With determination and self-control, gamblers can come out from addiction. Seeking the advice or help of concerned family members and friends could be of great help but sometimes they are limited because most of them lack the needed counselling skills.

But if you have tried and discovered that you need external help, then the services of a professional should be sought. Experienced addiction counsellors will come up with peculiar rehabilitation procedures that will be of great help. But all this assistance will be helpful only if the gambler is willing to change from this harmful gambling behaviour.         

First things first is the willingness of the person to help himself, if that is already present the chance is high of curing itself, though if addiction is already deep then professional help and guidance from someone who you really trust will help in boosting your self-will to quit away, there are many factors that can really affect your decision making when trying to un-tie yourself into gambling, we do all understand addiction and it's not that easy to remove if you have it inside you.

It takes time and solid determination to help yourself, but it's always doable if you really believe that your changing pace will help you to solve your own mistake.

I know it's easy to say that gambler needs to be responsible and know how to control their spending but I agree with you that it's hard to do if we were in their position, But it's really up to them, Gamblers are the only one who can help their selves even if there's a lot of advices and reminders that they've received, if Gamblers didn't know how to control and manage their selves, I bet they will ended up having a gambling addiction, Worst, it can ruin their entire life.

Really hard indeed and there's no way that it could really be that so easy on the time that you would really be on such situation on which that "CONTROL" that we are all saying.There's no way that you could really be able to tell that it would really be easy when you are there.  Getting too far with gambling is really that likely because majority of us would really be that too impulsive when it comes to money and winning something on which this would really be that always an interesting thing that we would really be continuing on doing and doesnt matter if we do get addicted to it then this is where
people do usually ending up. Getting to far would be most likely the case and if you dont have that control then you are really that likely to end up like that.

If you dont like to end up on a mess then you would really be just simply that stopping if you do see that your finances is already that greatly been that affected.
Dont wait for the time to things to mess up because it would really be that a huge pain in the ass in that case.

Exactly bud, you have spoken really well, and your comment indeed affirms that discipline is an important quality every gambler must possess for a better and safer experience in gambling, it is good we are actually talking about this as i personally believe that discipline is a principle that has  a lot to contribute to safe or responsible gambling, but this principle is often neglected by many gamblers, only a very few i believe practice discipline in gambling.

I myself have failed on several occasions in this aspect of gambling, i remember several times i end up gambling away money i never did thought i was going to lose, and as a way to punish myself, i give myself a self-imposed break from gambling, but most of the time, i end up not doing the time i gave myself due to lack of discipline.

So yeah, this is something we all must learn to practice, regardless of difficult.

While setting limits may sound easy in theory, it can be very hard to do in real life, especially when you're gaming. People often romanticize the idea of self-discipline, but when real pressures come up, these lines become less clear. Not only is making a limit important, but sticking to that limit is even more important.

What did you say about the sports game and the favorite team? That really hurts. Its almost like the world plans to test our resolve when we least expect it. For many, the thought of a "sure-win" is the best bait there is. You say its pretty tough to stick to the limit, but I think thats not quite true. Its a Herculean job, especially when people are angry or upset. Yes, discipline is important, but how many people really have it? The answer to this real-life problem looks simple, but its actually very hard to find.

Those are best advise before going to battle against the Game provider , and yes Reading this thread will have them more safe in gambling.

BUDGET-  allotting enough money before gambling is better way to say you are limiting your chance to lose( but also allot winning percent when to stop)

HAVING A BREAK - also correct because sometimes we are getting out of control when winning or when losing.

and the other given words are also best to  follow.

Yes setting limits in gambling is an important first step, but following those limits does require a high level of discipline. Discipline is indeed the main key in maintaining financial and emotional balance when involved in gambling activities. Without sufficient discipline, it is difficult to maintain compliance with established boundaries, and doing so can be risky for our financial and mental well-being.

we must prioritize financial balance through awareness of the risks of gambling with moderate behavior and a commitment to comply with the limits that have been set, we can do this with discipline ensuring that gambling remains purely entertainment.

They do not have enough experience to think about the negative impacts that can arise from gambling and only know about the fun of gambling. But slowly, after they experience more frequent losses, they become more curious and can't accept it, so they try to gamble longer than usual. This makes them deeper into gambling, and many end up becoming addicted to gambling, which is difficult to cure.

Talking to other people can relieve the mental burden of gambling so that the person will not be frustrated with their gambling problems, especially if they experience losses more often in many gambling games. They can express what is in their hearts. It helps them to reduce sadness because of their losses playing gambling. But if it is not accompanied by a desire to avoid gambling, it will not go well because they can return to gambling and forget the previous sadness. But if they desire to reduce their gambling activities, they will look for ways that can work for them, and whatever it is, they will start doing it seriously to reduce gambling.

That means we both use gambling as entertainment and don't consider it a way to make money. We know it is very difficult to do because gambling is not a job like working in an office or a company. We only gamble to get pleasure. Once we are done, we can sleep soundly without much thought. That's what I've been doing, and I also don't gamble too often because I have other things to do, especially physical activity outside the home.

Gamblers who want to make money will use their time to gamble more often to win. Maybe for them, winning is easy, but not for us, so they still gamble more often than us. That's okay because at least we can prevent gambling addiction in ourselves and still enjoy gambling for what it is.

yeah, I agree with the both of you, Limit setting comes in different forms, and the two type or ways a gambler can limit themselves is what you have already mentioned, setting gambling limits either way will always seem appealing in the mind of a gambler, but in reality, just like Klidex said, is something that is really hard to adhere, the only Saviour would be if the gambler is a very disciplined person.

Imagine setting a limit that you would not lose more $50 to gambling in a week, and in just one or two days, you have lost that amount of money already, and there is a sports game coming up by the weekend which also involves your favorite team playing, you fight so hard to resist the urge to want to risk some extra funds to put up some bets, and to even make it more tempting, you are very sure the you would win because the team your favorite team is playing against is a weak team.

So yeah, it is actually very easy to set limits, but it's pretty hard to follow it, as following the limits will require a great deal of discipline, without it, it is absolutely impossible.

This applies to gamblers who have the mindset of gambling for entertainment and having fun, it is different for gamblers who gamble to make money, but I am one of the gamblers who considers it as entertainment only and to have fun. Sometimes every time I get pleasure, I usually stop gambling and went to bed to rest so that I could sleep soundly without a lot of thoughts and burdens because I gambled at night.

It's very different, maybe if gamblers who are looking for money usually often lose sleep because they are tired of chasing something they want to pursue but can't achieve and that's what makes many gamblers become uncontrollable because they are chasing something that is uncertain, even though in fact winning is just a bonus from gambling is nothing more but people consider it as income.

Not just some,  limit setting is very necessary at all time and that is the reason most of us already have that limit setting mechanism even before we start gambling and for as far as I know,  leaving yourself to gamble without limit make us more vulnerable and unable to pull out their self when their already going to much into the gambling space and on a serious note,  if you leave yourself to gamble without any form of restriction it will definitely lead you into addictions that you may fine hard to control or contained at a certain amount point in time.

Another approach to stay safe while gambling again is the ability of the gambler to only allocate a fraction of their total money in gambling,  this may sound like limit seeing too but differs since this has to do with financial restriction,  by limit on the other hand have to do wrh the time you spend to gamble on daily,  so this two are different.

That's right, the beginners who are new to gambling will think more about their interest in gambling because at first glance they only think about the winnings they get and don't think about the negative effects of gambling, that way they will continue to gamble for who knows how long it will end, this is what must be avoided even though they are new to gambling for fear that they will fall deeper and become severely addicted.

With what you said telling stories or sharing advice is good, the way to avoid things like the above is that they themselves must have a good mindset not to think of gambling as the main income, you can do other activities whatever it is as long as you don't come close to gambling. Sometimes people who have managed to stay away from gambling but they see their own friends win, at this time there will be a sense of returning to gambling because they see their own friends who have won, even though this does not affect anything, it could be that their friend has lost a lot of money gambling and the winnings they get are not much, this is also a problem when we cannot restrain ourselves and return to gambling. a positive mindset is very difficult for gamblers because it is so difficult for them to fall deeper.

Sometimes setting limits in gambling can be more difficult to do in practice, especially if a person feels the urge to continue playing in the hope of getting bigger wins. Such feelings can increase the risk of financial loss if we cannot control ourselves and manage our finances seriously.

we need to develop self-discipline and strictly follow established limits, and being able to recognize the signs when the desire to continue gambling becomes excessive can help prevent getting trapped in a detrimental gaming pattern. If we have a deep understanding of the risks of gambling and by sticking to wise financial decisions, we can reduce the risk of unnecessary losses.

Before they fall deeper and become addicted, they must do self-reflection so they can know what needs to be addressed and regulated so that they don't experience a gambling addiction that could get worse if they don't want to improve themselves. This self-introspection is useful to find out how much benefit or whether you don't get any benefit from gambling apart from losing money continuously. However, I agree with what you said: if people are new to gambling, they can become increasingly curious about losing in gambling, so if they don't realize it, they can fall deeper into gambling.

And that's the point of them telling stories or sharing with other people about what they experienced while gambling so that they can get useful advice to improve their condition before it's too late. In this way, they can control themselves because by sharing their stories, they can also get valuable suggestions that they can take to prevent gambling addiction. Having a positive mindset in gambling can help them not chase wins or recover losses but only want entertainment from gambling.
