Topic: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting - page 54. (Read 7496 times)

Sorry, buddy, but it's not that easy to do because when you experience defeat and leave the gambling site, someone will keep thinking about their defeat and can't feel any information at all, even when they want to rest to sleep, it's difficult because in their minds there is only a certain amount of money lost because of losing and then there will be a desire to return to playing and get some money so that the defeat can recover a little.
I can speak like this because of my own personal experience when I was unlucky and suffered a big loss.

If you can do that, that's a good thing because not all gamblers are able to do this, even I myself, who has had a lot of bitter experience in gambling, sometimes it's always difficult to do that.

Silence, which means leaving the casino in person or offline, is the best way to quit the game, aka taking a break or taking a break so as not to continue playing and spend all the remaining money. most people will continue to play the game because they are still in the casino, so they will continue to be tempted to try again to chase their previous losses.

I often do this silently and don't talk much when I lose and then leave the online casino and then do other activities so I don't have a feeling of desire to continue the previous gambling game because I experienced defeat. but really don't ever try to continue the game if you feel you have lost a lot because it will continue to drain our money until it runs out. 

It’s always not as easy as you just said it but I’ll add these 3 (even if it may not work)


1) have a hustle that gives you money outside gambling, most gambling addicts are people who literally depend on it to earn a living, so they gamble like their lives depend on it

2) Don’t gamble every game you see, some people plays every bet that comes their way,  relying on hope/faith to make it boom, making them spend extravagantly on gambling

3) Work on your mind, if 3k is your budget for gambling, do not exceed it for any reason, with that, you’ll have a minimal expense on gambling

Most gamblers already know about this philosophy but fail when implementing it because gambling is often out of control.
Players have a budget but often fail to comply with it, especially when the usual casino where he plays is giving tempting promotions even though at that time he has exceeded the budget.
Players often feel the need to quit but losing or even being in a winning position gets in the way because thinking it's not the right time to quit until eventually running out of money is what forces them to quit.
Drugs or drinks are only carried out by heavyweight gamblers and maybe even they are addicts, be they gambling addicts on drugs or liquor.
Not many players dare to admit that they are not doing well because of gambling, maybe because they don't like being advised or being blamed.
There are many things that other people can think about including considering gambling as a way of multiplying money or as a way of earning, anyway thanks for advice.

We arent perfect but doesnt mean that we should really play dumb and tolerate things on which we know that it could really put us up on harm. Every aspects in life does really really need up that good decision
making  because we know that once we do miss out on doing that then for sure it would bring out unfortunate ones specially if we do deal up with gambling or betting which it is really just the same.
Just like on what most people been saying that gambling is for fun only, it is really just that people are really that hoping that much about gambling could make them rich or someone who
do really get addicted and doesnt mind already on the money that they are spending which is already beyond their limits which it is something that should really be stopped midway or before its too late.
People do usually learn when they had already experienced those unfortunate stuffs.

Best form of advice is to quite when you are going too much on a roll, this is because, most at times players think that the ability to chase losses gives Them a chance to recover not knowing that the more you chase after a loss the more you tend to lose more, this is a fundamental truth about gambling losses.

We are only humans and we can't resist things especially it is entertaining and can provide us additional source of income. There is nothing wrong to play gambling but what is only wrong is if you can not stop playing it that it already interferes your life. The stuffs that you mean there must be a distraction to prevent us from playing gambling. There are lots of them. The most common that people on my age group use is online games (video games) like dota 2.

For some it can be watching a movie. It's also a good idea to be productive like find a job which earns you money or plant a crop in your background. This should help us to stay away from gambling. If we have problems with it.

Yeah right, but for sure it's easy to say than to make in action, just like what you said due to greediness and the emotions that controls your mindset during your gambling sessions, it's a hard battle with you that needed to control, if you manage to beat your own lust then you are good to go, as you can tell yourself that you are quitting for a while to rest and to refresh yourself either you are winning or losing with your gambling participations.

Many people really go too far when it comes to betting or gambling because they are greedy, and they let their emotions slide, whether they are continuously losing or winning. So my advice when you are going a bit far in gambling is to learn to be contented with your losses and winnings and learn to control your emotions, which means you shouldn't make sudden actions just because you feel lucky or you are going to win a round. Sometimes it's okay to let all your losses disappear in gambling because it helps you learn that not everybody will go home with their winnings, and this will help you to be satisfied or be contented with your losses or winnings.

When we can win several times at gambling at different times, our minds will automatically think that this is a good profit that we can get, so we will think about continuing to gamble. But unfortunately, it makes us lose and the amount this time will be bigger than our previous victory. We must be aware of this so that it does not happen to us and must prevent it before we experience it ourselves. So gambling can only be fun for us without being a way to make money.

Whether they accept it or continue gambling for fun and money is up to them. We must control ourselves and not indulge in our desires to continue gambling because that will harm us. We will lose money and become addicted to gambling after playing gambling for a while.

Yes, I agree that self-control can help from all the bad possibilities of gambling. And even though it seems difficult, we must convince ourselves that we can do it.

This is more than precise and I couldn't agree more. Priming your environment and choosing the right people around you is crucial to the process of becoming the person you wanted to be. Reading books and putting on a lifestyle or habit that will keep you busy will also be helpful because most of the time, people are just too bored of their own life that the best thing they can do is to waste it. What a shame. I would add, maybe you can find someone who can make yourself accountable. So during the process that you lose yourself again, you have someone who can help you get back on the right track.

There are people that would not mind exploring the gambling interface to get what they want. If we think that we are going too far in gambling which had been affecting us and the way to make betting, it will be good for us to amend our ways and try as much as possible to limit the way we make betting to prevent the advert effects in the later time.  

Being a considerable gambler, once you detect any abnormalities in your gambling experience, the first thing to do is to pause and fix yourself right, there are many ways to go over addiction and other unethical behavioral attitudes one might had developed through gambling and some are:

1. Change your environment if it's a gambling enabling environment
2. Avoid friends who are addicted to gambling and adds no other benefits to your life
3. Read books on maintaining an addicted lifestyle and how to change as a person
4. Engage doing something every day to keep you busy and avoid any unimportant relationships.

This can be spotted when you finish your balance allocated for gambling and you continue to play saying to yourself that this is the last spin and you continue there until you lose all the balance.When this happens once I can understand the rage of the moment but if this is done continuously it means you have gone to far and the best first thing to do is to acknowledge this and ask for help.If anyone fails to do this and continue in his addiction things will precipitate real fast for him and life will look like the worst thing in the world,we should avoid this scenario at all cost and ask for help from friends and relatives first to take us to a rehab center,no other way around this.

I agree to manage time and keep myself busy so that don't have thoughts of gambling and can forget about gambling in order to prevent over-addiction.
But to find a professional and go to rehab I'm not sure I can succeed because so far there is no rehabilitation for a gambling addict moreover it all depends on one's own will if an addict really intends to stop he can forget about gambling and never come back but if a gambler has the desire to quit gambling but his heart and mind are still heavy to leave gambling so it is difficult for someone to recover from gambling addiction.
So far, there is no effective way to overcome gambling addiction except on your own volition.

In addition to the above, I can advise:
1. Set limits. In pursuit of big winnings, even if you are playing with small amounts, you may not notice how you lose all your money. Setting a limit can help you control your budget and prevent you from ending up with nothing in the end. For example, your monthly limit could be 5% of your salary, so if you lose, you will still retain 95% of your salary due to the limit.
2. If you learn to follow 1st rule, it can have a positive impact on your discipline. Discipline is another way to maintain control. Discipline yourself not to live solely for the sake of the casino or sports betting. Allocate time to all areas of life for balance.
3. Point 2 leads to the third one: take breaks. Don't forget to dedicate time to work, hobbies, and spending time with family and friends.
4. Avoid chasing big winnings and trying to "get rich quick" through gambling. If you incur losses during gambling, don't try to recover them by making impulsive bets or playing longer. This can lead to further losses and exacerbate the problem.
5. Pay attention to your emotions during gameplay or betting. If you find yourself experiencing excessive stress, disappointment, or obsession, take a step back and reassess your involvement. Impulsive bets can result in significant losses. Perhaps in a different mood, you wouldn't take such risks.
6. However, if you still feel that your addiction is progressing and becoming problematic, be sure to seek support from friends, family, and professionals.

If you are really starting to get addicted, timers can help, but without self-control, it is still a problem as you continue to gamble, and that is really a huge problem as it is difficult to practice it. That is why others tend to find some hobby as well as keep themselves busy so that they don't have free time and can't think to gamble. But again, if the person has already gotten addicted, there is no way that you can stop him unless you seek professional help to make the gambler go to rehab.

Well, many gamblers are playing not to have fun but their goal is to win huge. They think it's easy to win in gambling and they can become rich in snap. If you're a kind of gambler with such mindset, it's likely that you have a gambling problem since your main desire is to win and not to entertain yourself.

If you win in gambling it can bring satisfaction and you'll be motivated to keep on playing. However, isn't it good to gamble just to have fun and you're not expecting anything? That way, if ever you win or lose, you're not so affected since that's not the main reason why you're playing.

Will the gambler ever accept the fact that gambling is for fun, I don't think the number of gamblers that have that line of thought is much and we must know how to set the priorities right and by doing so we must learn how to control the phr emotion and never to go above our boundaries.

Setting a timer could help, but having self-control helps more since that will have psychological effects on your mindset other than a timer.
