Set up a limit on how much or how long you could play, learn to quit when needed or when you reach your limit don't think about extending it just because you are winning or want to win back what you loss.
As much as possible hang out with friends who wouldn't consider or drive you into gambling.

The advice I got to get rid of gambling was to stop myself from gambling after losing a bet. But when a gambler becomes completely addicted to gambling, he has to abstain for some time. Many people become emotional after gambling loss, in which case it is necessary to discuss with his friends or other people. But he can make a good decision within certain limits. So a gambler must be well advised when placing bets first. And after setting a budget he has to bet and if he bets according to that budget he won't lose much if he gambles.
Well, speaking of people feeling or being emotional after a gambling loss, I think thats normal with every gambler, or rather, most gamblers, it is true that we all advice gambler to carry out their gambling activities with a mind of having fun, but we all can not deny the fact that most of us still gamble with a mindset of making money, so for such a gambler, it's not uncommon to feel sober after losing, no one is ever happy losing money, but then, it's very important to not allow such experience be the determinant of how the rest of that day should be or go.So a lose to gambling is one of those things we much learn to shake off as soon as possible, no matter the amount of money involved.

Only a gambler who is responsible and controlled can have a set budget for their gambling activities and will follow it, a gambler who is addicted might decide such a thing but they can barely be able to follow it because of the urge to gamble even more when the budget is already spent will never let them just leave the casino and come back later, their mind will compel them to deposit more and try and recover the money lost.And in most cases, gamblers can't recover anything but instead, lose more money, and then they either leave more disappointed or deposit more if they have until the money runs out, they will still not feel calm but they won't have any other choice but to leave.

When I read this, I had to laugh because one thing came to my mind and that is;
If only someone is under drugs/alcohol influence, they will forget all your tips and do their worse.
The worse thing that can happen to anyone is to gambling under the influence of something.
Be it drug,
Alcohol,
Depression,
Emotional pressure,
Revenge retribution etc
I don't fully understand what you mean with "revenge retribution", but it makes me thing something like when you're not satisfied with your salary and want to get the difference you think is fair via gambling, or about being jealous of the winnings from another person, whether from a friend or some unknown influencer or shitposter who claims to have won a large amount of money, and want to get those earnings too because you deserve them the same or even more than the subject in question.
Please, don't forget to clarify what that concept means so I can understand it better, in case you didn't mean the meanings above (everyday you learn something new).
It should be clarified because it's a new term for me actually and I find it hard to connect with gambling. But I'm sure it is bad for the gambler given that the examples shouldn't be done if you will do gambling.

I feel like keeping your cool is one of the most important things, but on the other hand it takes a lot of effort. The fact is people who manage to do it are the ones who keep successfully gambling.
but at least we don't increase the proportion in gambling or depositing which makes it a differentiator because we know the limits.
yes, when we understand the limits of what we are capable of. indirectly we have minimized the risk of losses that could continue to occur.
this is quite difficult to suppress for those who are already heavily addicted to gambling. usually, those who are very focused on one game. because I have friends who play online card gambling. and he always plays it never anything else. he gambles almost every day, I don't know where the money he gets from but he always gets money for deposit.

The longer the breath we take, the more we are carried away by the atmosphere of gambling, that's what I feel, and for me it's actually dangerous when we get late and don't realize it all. One other thing that I feel is (I am a smoker) and when I know that I have consumed a lot of cigarettes then at the same time I have been carried away by emotions. There may be many different experiences, and I usually deal with them by pausing and then taking a breath so that I can return to self-control and not get carried away by my emotions.
We have to be in good self-control, and for me the mind is the center of control and so far I can handle that and stay within a certain limit that I can't go over.
Gambling is more about following your emotions. The more you can limit yourself, the better chance that you won't commit mistakes.
Indeed, in terms of addiction, maybe we are also still categorized like that even though it is in the category of mild addiction, but at least we don't increase the proportion in gambling or depositing which makes it a differentiator because we know the limits.
`
Exactly, good self-control is what we need to go back and focus and not being bothered much by that certain emotions, it can lead us to make more mistakes and push our aggressions if we continue following such adrenaline, better to have that kind of gesture to let remind yourself in what to do in pausing for a while and be back when you are settle and ready to start it again.Gambling is more about following your emotions. The more you can limit yourself, the better chance that you won't commit mistakes.
As you've pointed out, the urge to chase after losses or adrenaline highs can often mirror addictive behaviours such as smoking. Just as you may find yourself consuming more cigarettes under emotional stress, so too might you feel compelled to place higher bets or make riskier moves when you're engrossed in the 'atmosphere' of the game.
Its essential, therefore, to have the discipline to hit pause, regroup, and reevaluate your strategy when you notice these patterns. Indeed, our minds are the key players here, capable of both leading us astray and pulling us back to safer grounds. Gambling, in my opinion, is a test of not just luck, but also of one's ability to manage their impulses and stay within their pre-established limits.

All the points mentioned by you are true and effective and if you don't follow these strategies it can lead to gambling losses also big losses. When drinking alcohol, a person has no control over himself, so it is not possible for him to focus on gambling at that time. And if you don't take a break from gambling, people's brains become confused, so you can't win anything good from gambling Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.

I have applied that strategy and it works, and it's very good, you should always apply it, when I play what I do is be able to have my mood at 100% because if I bet when I'm angry or in a bad mood that doesn't help me to Nothing decides when a bet is good or not, and what it does is make me lose all the time.In order to control your bets, it is best to put an amount that does not hurt to lose it, for example, 10 dollars is enough for me to lose, from there no more, because 10 dollars is a very significant amount to have a large profit or loss, which is I see something like an investment.

the problem is that people, before entering the world of gambling, already have an objective: to make big profits and thus have a lot of money. with that thought in mind, people create an account at the casino, make a deposit and start playing, that person doesn't want to hear about advice on gambling addiction, bankroll management, stay calm and not create high expectations about gambling, no look at gambling as a means of earning extra income or get-rich-quick scheme. This person doesn't want to know any of this. for many people when they create a casino account and start playing, they do all or nothing.
to be clearer, if they put 1000$ in the bank and decide that they are going to put 100$ in each bet, they already put in their heads that the 1000$ has to become a lot, the 100$ they put in a game, and if they lose they will put others 100$, when they lose all the bankroll (the 1000$) that they deposited in the casino,, they will put more money and with the same objective: to win a lot of money. and if they lose they'll put more money in, so it's not because they're putting money in for fun, they want profit. what's next is they sell everything they have to keep playing or they're going to borrow money to keep playing

That sounds easy to put into practice but hard to work with, because I know a lot of the advice we get in this thread of course, but not many gamblers will hear it when they're feeling engrossed in gambling, that's why it's hard to advise someone who's crazy about gambling even more so choosing to go even further following their passions and keep playing until the very end, if gamblers have no principles it will be difficult to control themselves.Breath

Indeed! If a gambler is too hooked on playing, he often forget to have a break, since he is too focused on what he is doing. I also think that a gambler should have guidelines and consider that there is much more important than gambling. This way, a gambler will be able to avoid putting all his money to gambling and allocate only the fund that he can afford to lose.
My friend seems to be out of control anymore so he can't control his urge to gamble, that's why I always remind myself every time I gamble to stop gambling when I play too far and don't be like my friend.

more gambling addicts can not control their budget for betting. for example, you deposit your $1k to the casino. but in reality, it's because you don't have good control, even when you invite your friends to place bets. it won't help if your friend is also a gambling addict. you can bet more when you are excited to play.
self-control is important, but difficult for anyone who is already addicted. However, if you want to walk out on a losing streak, you have to figure out for yourself when the time is right. More and more gamblers find it difficult to get out of the game when they get a few wins.
