Topic: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? - page 3. (Read 6617 times)

that is a good definition
it has something to do with not letting your activities and your passions to take over you
there's a mix of control, skill and emotional awareness so you don't lose yourself completely and succumb

what else do you think it is important to keep focused?

When we can control ourselves well and realize what we must do, we can realize that we have avoided unnecessary problems. When we have allocated a certain amount of money for gambling at an offline or online casino and end up losing, we will not want to continue because we are worried that we will become addicted to gambling. After all, gambling addiction can come at any time. And maybe that's what successful gamblers will do when playing gambling because they already have a lot of valuable experience, so they can understand the situation and act according to it. Everyone who gambles wants to achieve success from gambling, but unfortunately, most people will only fail halfway without being able to continue, and many of them even experience gambling addiction. This must be stopped, and it doesn't need to happen to us because we already have self-control, which we continuously train to improve. We also won't be influenced by anything that comes to us, including if there is an offer that looks attractive. We will just respond as usual and leave the casino because we've had enough gambling.

Getting success from gambling is difficult, very difficult, and not many people can do it and get it. We don't know what people who are successful at gambling do because they don't want to share their secrets with others and only say that we only need to gamble with enough money and always be able to control ourselves well. I think the method you gave might work, but that is if we have good self-control because we know that in gambling, many temptations will come, so we have to be able to anticipate them well and not be tempted by anything. We also don't need to use a lot of money to gamble because that will only make us fall into the temptation of gambling, so we will experience a loss of self-control. That will only make us experience defeat after defeat that we might never have imagined. We can only take good care of ourselves by always controlling ourselves, and if we can control ourselves well, we will become successful people in gambling.

Yes if the situation is as you say then maybe I would also slightly agree with your assumption that the first win will not always be able to make a gambler immediately addicted, but I say that such a situation will always be able to trigger someone into the addiction phase, it doesn't take long and especially if in the next session they manage to get such a win again then obviously they will really think that gambling is a place to earn and then after that defeat will dominate.

This is the trap of the algorithm that casinos apply to gambling, especially if you bet on the type of game that is pure luck outside of sports betting, most people who manage to get such results in the first stage then usually they will think that they are great and this is what is dangerous because obviously the next time they will do more experiments because they think that they will get a lot of money. On the other hand, I think there are very few gamblers who can use their winnings wisely, it will only be able to be done by those responsible gamblers or those who have high flying hours such as professionals who have a lot of experience about the various situations that are there.

Not gambling, but certain drugs can clearly make you addicted on the first try.

The issue with them is that they are so powerful, they make you so happy, that nothing else in your life comes close to it, so you spend all your time trying to get that feeling back. That's called chasing the dragon.

Gambling is not as powerful, but it still gets into your mind slowly.

If you are a first-time player in a casino and you suddenly win a jackpot prize, that means you are really lucky, but that does not mean that you are immediately addicted to gambling. No gambler has ever become addicted to gambling on the first try because there is no such thing in real life.

But winning a jackpot prize can also be considered a success if you use the gambling winnings correctly. And the first time you play gambling and you win immediately, it can also be a way for you to become addicted to gambling in the future.

I say something, when we control ourselves and do what we must do at the right moment we have to be aware of what we can do what is in our hands well so that we can be aware that things are different, for example, when we We are in the casino, we can allocate our money willing to lose, yes, it is something that is law, yes, we want to be addicted and we want to be successful. That is the first step, because the second step is to know the game well and try of not losing anything and that is where experience comes in and everything we can apply so that we are successful, the rest things can be affected if we do them wrong or if we do not follow those first steps, when we have mastered that, what we should do It is that the money you are willing to lose, it is not that we lose it all at once, no, we have to make that money pay off, that is the first thing we must do.

After doing and achieving this, it is up to us how to do so that we can be successful, but how? I win and the only thing we have to do is win at the casinos, I don't know about the rest anymore, for me success will always translate into doing things well, for example, if we allocate 30 USD, we must do something per day 4 or 5 dollars, and do that every day, because only by accumulating it is how we can be successful, now if we are people who have a lot to spend, a lot to be willing to have good performance, well things are like that, there is no way Things can turn out badly, if we have a lot of money, then we have to earn a lot more money, but win, not just settle for losing, if we lose then the strategies or our vision of the game is wrong, it is not the correct one, we should do it Things are different so you don't keep falling into the tone of mistakes , success in a casino will always be about making money.

Gambling is a lifestyle, not just a game, and I've been around long enough. The excitement, anticipation, and strategy matter. Fun gambling is a lucrative source of entertainment when done appropriately. It's thrilling to win a calculated gamble, as I've witnessed. Moderation and strategic play work for me. Understand the game, recognize your limits, and play within them. I can enjoy gambling without becoming addicted with this strategy. I constantly tell gamblers to play smart and enjoy the game, not just the result. I find that knowledgeable gamblers who do their studies and play confidently are most satisfied. They're further into the game than chasing losses or betting foolishly. They and I bet for the challenge, strategy, and enjoyment. Every play is a chance to learn, grow, and have fun in this complex world.

I think only the person doing the gambling will be able to tell if they are addicted or not.

It's pretty much impossible to know from the outside in which state another person is.

So, that's the main thing to notice, an addict is defined by yourself really.

Also there professionals or addicts have suffered in the hands of addiction one way or the other some of them are billionaire and are now just trying to survive, and if you always getting use to gambling on every game there is no way you wont become an addict you will always want to play and see if you might win and your first win in gambling will cause to much excitement that if you don't control your self you will have issue because you will feel like you did not do much before winning, if you bet to much i don't think you will even win because you not even playing with a stable mind talk more of trying to win by all means. and does gambles that make sure they have assurance in a game before playing it are smart there are reckless gamblers that they gamble anything they see even without considering the risk behind the game they have selected, and all they care about is the money and they will not at the end of the day even win anything.

There is no universal convention for addiction and success or failure because its future evolution is more important to evaluate, typically people who are addicted to gaming, they also develop and form a professional path of competition, showing the audience the seriousness and making money from this strange addiction. Gambling addiction has such correlations, but perhaps society has filled it with typical negative images, Successful gamblers often have transformed from addiction to mainstream passions, which is a typical positive trait

Non gamblers find it a hassle to differentiate between both entities, but gamblers don't have to deal with the fact of confusing themselves between both entities. Addicts struggle with knowing when to stop or continue gambling. They involuntarily do their daily gambling duties and fail to realize what trouble would inevitably visit them at the cause of this daily mistake turned to a habit. Successful gamblers having similar daily activities yet controls the game and swim through the flood of choices around them, still suffer from the harsh words of critics that label them irrespective of their responsible gambling, addicts. The decision or choice is best to be discussed amongst gamblers than non-gamblers. It'll require a load of consistent advice and conversation for a non-gambler to understand the differences between an addict and a successful gambler.

That's why when playing gambling, we have to use the money we can afford because losses can come continuously until we spend all our money, so we will only regret it because it has happened to us. We will not be able to recover the losses because all the money we have is gone, and if we deposit more money, it could make us experience more losses, so we are not worthy of continuing to gamble. Apart from that, we also have to keep our emotions from escalating, especially after we experience defeat in gambling, so that this can trigger our emotions to increase. Only by controlling ourselves and always trying to stay within limits is what we can do to avoid problem after problem that can come at any time. And maybe that's what successful gamblers have done so that they can still enjoy their gambling activities well.

By always limiting our gambling activities, we will be more disciplined in managing money for gambling so that we will not just use the money to continue gambling because we will think that money comes from the allocation of funds we have made. We don't want to gamble excessively just because we have experienced defeat. We must be able to prevent more losses like what successful gamblers have done.

If we can have self-discipline in gambling, we will not want to do something that could have a bad impact on our gambling activities or anything related to us. We will always be careful when playing gambling because we know that gambling will always tempt us, so we have to be more alert. We must maintain self-control while gambling at the casino so that we can enjoy our free time by gambling comfortably. As long as we can control ourselves when gambling, we will not fall into the temptation of gambling, and we can still take good care of ourselves so that we still remember that gambling is just entertainment.

I think the key to define an addiction is that it is creating something negative in your life.

If you have a great life and gamble a lot, yet you manage to not lose all your money, or affect your life in a negative way, then you are not addicted.

It's not about the amount of time you spend doing something, it's about how it affects your life.

Maybe we have to also think of it this way that not everyone is being addicted first, secondly if someone is being addicted then he's probably not going to be a successful one, I see a gambling addicts as someone who has no specific gambling lifestyle or pattern he uses to gamble than going being unpredictable by the way he does at all costs, such person allowed gambling to got over himself, control him and take away every other opportunity he would have taken advantage in and get himself balanced with life, instead they make gambling appears as the bad actor here while they are the ones lacking that moral discipline they would have adopted to how they have fun playing bets.

Not addicted but better to called them professional. Addicted gamblers can't be successful gamblers cause as they are addicted to gamble, so they can't help themselves placing bets whatever the match is! They always looking for gambling and money does matter for them and they lose most of the time. But successful gamblers are them who win bets most. As they are successful gamblers, that means they are successfully earning money from gambling, right? And so they keep visiting gambling website for opportunity and they won't place bet until they ensure about it by their confidence. I think here are the difference

Well, when we start to see things from a critical point of view, we all know that to play the slots, you either need experience or luck, that's all you need, but to be more explicit what is needed most is power. have determination in the things that are needed, for example I am a person who always looks for slots for fun and I don't see the slots as being something to find money anyway, the experience I have with the slots is basic, but maybe Maybe you need some experience to know how to bet, how to increase the bet in a given item and that only if gnnaics occur, and something hard when things are very different from how we believe we can attack them, I see that a person can learn from another if you have spent a long time in a game like poker, because in poker there are many strategies, many things can be determined, but of course, I am based on what a person can be willing to risk as well, the money to my is a limitation.

Basically what matters most in a casino is the amount of money that is risked, you cannot take for granted that in a casino things will turn out well just like that, because you have good luck, because someone's decision is only based on their luck and the same as the others, no, sometimes the knowledge knows a lot, for example as I said before, a person can have a lot of experience in other games like roulette, or any other like black jack, what experience means, but slots is another thing, they are not treated as everyone believes, sometimes with the minimum bet you win a lot, and that is very good, that is why many players look for them, but if we start making very high bets, with a large balance and if we do not win Our money will go away like salt in water, and that is something that should not be allowed, it is something that we should see very clearly.

I dont see the relevance when it comes on having experience when it comes to slot gaming but when it comes to cards and sports betting then this is where experience would really be that something relevant.

On the time that you do reached out into that situation on which you are already considered to be a successful gambler then you have surely past that kind of addiction with gambling.
It is really just that impossible that you wont really be able to experience out such condition on which there would really moment that you would be that impulsive and getting addicted.
It did really just turn out that someone who do able to get out such addiction and becomes pro and profitable then only a few could be able to handle or achieve that.

Starting from a small bet and so on will be comfortable playing at a much larger level especially if someone has money to be in a bet. That was originally gamblers more addicted and indeed to handle psychological would be far more difficult when someone was comfortable in certain situations. Not talking about the good or bad impact of gambling but how a person can handle gambling responsibly as the method you convey in allowing a small portion of his income in the form of gambling entertainment.

Much more agree when we talk about poker games because it is more to its skills and nature to train to be more professional rather than being successful in the game. Games that are based on luck will be far more difficult to say success and even the nature of poker games is only based on the form of professionalism not about success.

Yes, it cannot be denied that there are times when we when we are in a game we can say that things are very different, when it is set in a casino sometimes we like it and we can let ourselves be carried away by many emotions , if the Emotions win over us then the things are bad ,  that's why Sometimes we as humans can't control Ourselves , things are hard enough like that , if we do anything we hear ourselves saying that if we can't control it, what we should do is help with other things, and the The most Viable is that, that when we play or what we Should do is first give our money, what we are willing to lose, and secondly the money we already have there, because we don't do Anything else if we lose, if we lose we must Assume that you lost , do not try to Deposit more money or put in more money , because that is the blunder that many players make and it means the beginning of a possible addiction.

In this order of days we are always Going to see things for what they mean , When we are Doing an activity in the casino the most Important thing is Aways to control our money, not to look for another way of doing things but first that one.

When we control our money , Everything is easier, and even more so when you have the discipline to do things better. For me, if you take care of your money , you can have normal behavior in a casino, if you don't control yourself in the casinos, emcones because if it doesn't matter, you know that it is the money willing to lose , if the person loses control if and only if with that money , then they should no longer be willing to play, because that is something that would go against the csoas and In normal parts of life, then when we do any type of move it is favorable so that it can bring Benefits and is welcome, but if it is to lose money it is not, then being successful is the valve of all this and for me it will always Translate in Monetary terms.

It is true that we have to make a plan before we start gambling, and the plan is, as you said, always try to be within the plan no matter what. We must not allow ourselves to be tempted by the promotions we see for gambling so that we don't go over the plans we carry out so that we can still gamble comfortably. And with this plan, we can avoid any bad things that could happen later so that we won't experience significant problems. We must try to stick to the plan well and always realize that we are gambling just for fun and have no desire to chase victory because that is difficult. By allocating sufficient funds for gambling, we can use them to get pleasure from gambling so that we will not experience too many losses. We will not be able to see more defeat so we really keep ourselves conscious.

Keeping money is not easy, especially in a casino, because we will see that many interesting promotions can make us forget the plans and limits we have made before. And that is where it is useful for us to have good self-control because only self-control can prevent us from crossing the boundaries we have created. If we gamble, we must use the money we can afford and never exceed the amount of money because we already understand that we can experience bigger losses that we cannot see. If we lose, the amount of loss will be by the amount of money we allocated, and we will not want to increase the amount of money because that could result in an even bigger loss.
