Good advices, i would like to add some:

When you are losing money, comfort yourself. Don't try to act tough because it really hurts and you need to be aware of what you are feeling and take care of yourself.
By comforting i mean doing something just for you. What ever that is or how silly it is, it doesn't matter as long it brings you comfort and joy.

Have other things in life that bring you joy and excitement, so you don't automatically get every rush from gambling. But have something else to look forward to.
There are cheap or even free activities to fill your time from climbing to gaming with your pc.

If you want you can set days when you don't gamble and try to fill those with activities that are enjoyable and productive. Productive because they bring self-esteem and that's a good balance when you had a losing streak.

It's good to set a budget for gambling but most importantly setting the budget isn't much of a big deal but rather it's keeping to it is what greatly matters. And this is where discipline sets in. Many gamblers have had a laid down budget for themselves but ended up exceeding their budget as they got carried away with the fun and enthusiasm at that moment of gambling. So additionally when we set up a budget we should also do well do inbibe core discipline in keeping to it immediately our budget is exhausted that should be the end of our gambling for that day, week or month depending on how you decide to set yours.

There have been many examples when a gambler has no limits when playing gambling to become bankrupt, and that is a lesson for us to always remember that we must apply good management of our finances while playing. I am also a bit of a gambler in that I only play with money that I am prepared to lose. I'm thankful I can suppress my urges when I want to gamble but I don't have extra money to play with. The reason is if I force myself to play it will disrupt my financial flow in the end. So I do my best to control myself when I don't have money to play with.

The very beauty of knowing your limitations and understand the risk when playing, if you can prevent urging yourself to keep depositing for more after you lose your initial capital the chance of getting addicted and losing a lot will not happen, you'll not go to suffer with any addictions that can really hurt your finances if being dominated by lust of continuing to play.

There are many gamblers who at the end regrets with how they act while they are still playing, unknowingly they are already suffering from hard addictions.

It's a matter of self-will to quit away and to clean the messed that they've done during the addictions.

That's what I really have to pay attention to until now, even though we know sometimes things like this can't always be done all the time but of course in cases like this we also can't make it seem like we're stuck forever.
Even though there are indeed a number of conditions and we occasionally cross these limits, we must be aware that it is not always like that and that must be felt because we cannot be that perfect for gambling cases and we certainly occasionally violate the boundaries of what we do, but of course that is not a reason to keep doing it and precisely with things like this we are still continuing and continuing to improve ourselves.

It's good if we know that gambling is just fun and we don't have to pursue that pleasure to the point of spending a lot of money. And when we realize that we are only playing with money, we are ready to lose and will not chase to win because we know it is not easy to get. And I agree that we must have good self-control to avoid being tempted by the many casino games. We must limit ourselves to gambling so that we are not affected by gambling where we can experience gambling addiction.

I totally agree with what you said that gambling is just fun that should be done without spending too much money and avoiding chasing defeats.
Actually it's quite easy to gamble responsibly, but people think too much of gambling as a place to multiply money and always expect to win.
Even though this gambling is like a game where there are always wins and loses without having to win continuously, gamblers ignore this problem.

The above issues are really important for a gambler. Those who are gambling they certainly facing such situations. It is very important to determine the gambling budget, otherwise it will not take long for a gambler to lose all the money. If the gambler is addicted to any other addiction, it can have a bigger negative impact on the gambling. Continuous gambling is more likely to lose there, So it is best to gambling with a break and walking around with friends for a while. Which will help to keep a gambler normal in gambling.

Budgeting in gambling is very important, because it serves as an alarm for us to stop when we lose from gambling, limiting the budget for each gamble that I also do, for example every day I have to spend $ 10 or $ 20 to play all gambling games, of course, with small bets because I only a small gambler who expects the game to have fun, because if I'm too serious about getting money it will make me curious when I lose.

I agree with you that limiting the gambling budget can really help to prevent gamblers from becoming addicts and I'm sure that's a way that can be done for novice gamblers as well as old gamblers. no one can stop us when we go too far except ourselves.

That's a novel approach to controlling gambling, and I applaud you for it. How about we all simply throw around Monopoly money? Here's a wild hare for you to munch on. We'd experience the highs and lows of the chase without having to worry about our savings accounts when we woke up, right?

But let's turn the joke book upside down for a second. This slope is extremely slippery and steep. The complex mechanism we call a brain can get a high from a victory or a narrow escape that rivals the best champagne. So, while these small wagers may appear as docile as a newborn lamb, who can say for sure that they won't develop into a raging bull down the road?

Have you ever considered using something else in place of a deck of cards? The whole wide globe is yours to play in, pal. There is a plethora of exciting, fun, and Lady Luck-free pastimes just waiting to be explored.

Get physically active. This could be running, boxing, swimming. Walking in the fresh air in the woods or in the park is a good option. You need to expend energy, otherwise that energy will be wasted at the casino. I think these advices will help gamblers to play less in casinos.

Doing physical activity is highly recommended for everyone, including people who often play gambling, because it diverts their attention from playing gambling. And it can also help him reduce his gambling activity because, with that activity, he will focus on one thing and forget about other things for a while so that he won't think about gambling. And maybe he could take a break from gambling for a while, which would obviously allow him to forget about gambling. We can do it in many ways when we feel that we have thought too much about gambling, but that will depend on us.

From my experience, one of the best pieces of advice is never to gamble alone or invite your friend to sit beside or someone you trust to accompany you while gambling or go to a friend's house when you want to gamble.
Because every time you gamble at home, sometimes when you lose in a row, it makes people forget their first commitment, and emotions can beat even though they have planned a budget, but when someone's emotions go out of control.
So if we gamble when we have friends beside us, someone will advise us to stop gambling for a while after losing a few times.

I agree with you when it comes to visiting physical casinos. So far I have never visited the casino near my home town alone, always bringing at least one friend with me. It's not only about having someone to keep an eye on me, but also makes the whole trip much more fun. Visiting a physical casino is all about entertainment and having a fun night out with friends. Going alone feels more about trying to make a profit and it's probably harder to decide when to leave. An important rule for me and my friends when visiting a casino is to not bring the credit card and stick to cash only, like that you limit your losses. As for online casino it's a different story, here I always gamble alone as it would be a bit wierd to ask my friend to come over and supervise me. It's all about having a strict bankroll management and make fixed limits to not gamble with all our money at once. Having predetermined rules helped me a lot in the past to not lose too much money.

This information on how to completely limit yourself with that intention can be used as a basis and for sure, many people will benefit as
it can prevent addictions if being practice in the right ways.

Can it be useful to prevent someone from gambling addiction if it is practiced correctly?
It's a shame that not many gamblers are aware of and practice this method because most gamblers still don't care about gambling addiction.
You also know that gambling is so much fun that any risks that can be experienced while gambling are all forgotten and only focused on the betting or game that is being carried out.
But at least you and we have a good goal to be able to commemorate and remind gamblers not to become gambling addicts.

Being a gambling addict usually has causes that can encourage someone to become addicted, such as someone who needs a lot of money for something important that causes people to become addicted.
Because with small capital hoping for big wins but instead getting successive defeats and ending up in revenge wanting to avenge his losses and every day he always comes to gambling.
Unintentionally he became addicted because he wanted to double his money but always lost.
So before giving advice it would be better if you look at the cause of this person's addiction to make it easier to give directions.

Not many people manage to control themselves, sometimes I also give advice by saying that to someone to control themselves when playing gambling, leave when they win or take a break when they win big, but basically human nature we cannot deny that greed always sticks with us. we are wherever we are even though we have tried to control it but at certain times sometimes we forget that we should be able to control it but seem to forget to be consistent.

You are right, not many have control over their feeling and control of how their feel or can handle loses vs winning, so many of the gambling addicts become addicts even before their know, some time it's out of the quest to cash in on some winning that lead them into becoming strong addicts, I used to have a room mate in my university days who got kicked to gambling and when he started he was all excited becaus pf his first big win, he bought a new device that aided and upgraded his gambling attachment from the proceed of his first winning.

And before you know it he start losing continuously and for him to recover he become a excessive gambler to the point he that skipping classes just to gamble.

I know a lot of people who are in the same boat, skipping work only to gamble with the hope that they may make something out of it and they won't need to work anymore which has never happened. They are not rich, they barely earn the minimum wage that fulfills the basic needs of their families and the household but they don't get it.

People don't understand how deep they might get when they start, once they see they are winning initially, they get trapped in and after that, only with the hope of that big win, they keep gambling without even realizing how much they are losing in the process.

I guess you are right, intention is a big factor when starting yourself in participating in this kind of activities, the way you handle that intention will reflect in every action that you are taking, if you can continue limiting or focusing yourself without exceeding from that intention then sharing the best practice will be usable.

This information on how to completely limit yourself with that intention can be used as a basis and for sure, many people will benefit as
it can prevent addictions if being practice in the right ways.

Intentions stem from the thoughtful mindset of desperate people; they want to stop but lack the necessary qualities to do so; they're always on the move to gamble, either because they lack certain needs and don't want to be reluctant, or they're always getting something useful with their brains in the completely wrong direction. Addiction has ruined the bright future of many individuals who are eager to take bold strides in gambling; they completely forget that games are wagers with some extra cash that is not in use for anything, and at the end of the day, losses counts.

Intentions play an important role, but we are humans and we need stuff to makes us think twice when these intentions are being obfuscated by our own "humanity". Recognizing and acknowledging these tendencies is an essential step in practicing responsible gambling and it is in our hands to use the best resources and share them with others here.

Most gamblers before playing at the casino are quite tired from work activities. they play to get entertainment and release fatigue. physical activity may not do much for gamblers. but it can really help with mental freshness. especially for those who play at the casino almost every day. but not many gamblers will do that.
not many gamblers can really control their emotions when playing. especially if they are too engrossed in the game, if the capital doesn't run out they won't realize they've spent a lot of time at the casino.

Setting a limit for ourselves and then respecting that limit no matter what is what can save a person to become a compulsive gambler,

I also believe that setting a limit to our selves in gambling on holding to it will save us lots of problems in the future. It initially save us from losing more and also save us our time so that we can allocate it in a more productive way.

Quote from: South Park on May 19, 2023, 03:56:27 PM

after all when you are winning the temptation to keep going is very strong, as you may think this is your lucky day and you will be able to finally recover all the money you have lost against this casino in particular, however most of the time what happens is that instead you lose everything, and then feelings of regret will begin to assault you together with the idea that you may be unable to control yourself, which then becomes a self-fulfiling prophecy as this idea gives the gambler the right in their minds to leave all kind of prudence and limits behind and gamble without any constrain, which eventually will lead to this person to develop some gambling issues.

True that, the longer we play in the casino the more possibility of us losing our money so it is the best course of action if we stop while we are winning. This way we can secure our winning.

I already feel like this and have even tried it, but it comes back to the intention within us if we gamble looking for a win then we will continue to bet when we have won before and will bet more to get more, but if we intend to gamble for fun then we can control it when we win because it's not the main goal, which is to be happy, to stop when we feel bored or to win, believe me, everything depends on our intentions Cheesy
