I have been addicted until not very long ago.However I have passed it all,no problems for me whatsoever now.How I passed is easy,I just started doing other things after work rather than gambling,like going out for a run,learning a new skill or technology and things like this.Now I have come to a point where I can play when I want and I can stay for months without playing if I feel like it.What I want to say is that all depend on our self at how good we can handle situations like this.

That's great for you, but if everyone manage to do well, then many gambling site will have to close their operation due to lack of traffic on site. I wouldn't ask people to gamble or stop gambling if they could afford to take responsibility for their gambling, but I might try to remind them if their gambling habit have made them a problem person. I've done it before with a friend, it certainly won't be easy at first but at least now the frequency has become much less frequent. Gambling control are necessary and we really need to be responsible gambler to avoid trouble.

You acted well, but keep in mind that in order for you to be able to reach to your friend and help him, you need to know that he has an addiction in the first place. I believe there is a large number of players who are indeed addicted but are not disclosing it in a way that it is noticeable for their friends and family. Of course if you start borrowing money or so, but I guess the group of players hiding their addiction or not even realizing it themselves is quite significant.

Congratulations on ending your addiction to gambling. I agree that if we want to end ourselves from gambling, we need to make ourselves busy by doing other things. He can do other things after the job to block his mind not to think about gambling. That really helps him and I think that can also work for other people who want to stop gambling and maybe they will have a different method to solve the addiction.

With our work, the main thing is to get rid of addiction, by occupying ourselves much more and it will be easier to forget about gambling after a long time there is a shadow from us maybe that is also a solution and however it will always be different every time you want to stop gambling from addiction.

Maybe I am the same as Swogerino who is too focused on gambling, after I work I find it easier to spend other time and only on weekends we can play again as a pleasure to gamble.

There are a lot of people posting here. In most of threads related to sportsbetting, most user just discuss about the match, how player performed, how they could perform etc but very few person discuss about odds, chances of winning a team and other factors related to bet.
Is it possible that most people only discuss here to fulfill their signature requirement? In my case, I don’t play games at casino. I used to play back in the day but not anymore while I'm still having sportsbet on most of the matches.
Be honest and share about you whether you post only for your signature requirement or you post because you are involved in gambling & you want to know or share knowledge.

I think everyone has the potential to become a gambler and people generally tend to overestimate their ability to correctly calculate odds (or understand the context). I used to play some online poker but quickly realized that you are mainly playing with sharks because most little fish quickly empty their bankroll and abandon the game, you have to imagine that it will be true of any game of skill. It's the same with sports betting really, the bookmakers are constantly evolving and working with masses of useful historic information so it is extremely tough to be them - although their are some gamblers out there who profit from pricing discrepancies.

Yes. But judging by what he says, he has real problems with addiction and he cannot get rid of it, even though he perfectly understands the harmfulness of such behavior. To be honest, when I find out about such cases, I start to fear for myself - what if I become addicted? Usually I start to limit myself even more after that.

It's a good experience and it's cool that you were able to get rid of the addiction/bad habit yourself. I had a similar experience and changing occupations is a key decision to change myself - sports and, for example, doing business help best in this. Together, these two activities can drain you completely and you won't even think about gambling.

Yes I'm a gambler but I don't gamble that much but I consider myself a gambler due the numbers of bets i've been made in a week and the amount I spend every week and also I was posting in gambling discussion because of my signature but of course looking for a new gambling website or news or discussion about related to the sports i'm interested to.

I am sure that many players have tried to overcome their addiction by replacing their time spent in the casino with other activities, but not all of it helped. I personally have never had a gambling addiction and I know very well what self-control is, but an addicted gambler has a poorly developed sense of it. So I wonder how he learned self-control if he didn't have it before.

You really are a strong person if you were able to get rid of gambling addiction but unfortunately, many can not do it. Maybe you can advise where to start for those players who have fallen into this trap and can't get out of it on their own?

If everyone could have the same mindset and strategy just to get rid of gambling addiction, I'm sure that more people would be able to manage their finances right while enjoying gambling at the same time. It might sound hard for others but it's just a matter of self-control. Focusing on other things that you would enjoy would be a better idea.

I am not that strong but I have become one after my daughter was born in March 2020 in the middle of the pandemic.I knew that if I kept gambling I would destroy my family and everything and I thought about her,my daughter.I thought to myself I want to give her a better life than I have had so far (although I have had a really good one until now).This was my motivation and by being able to not play for several months then gambling was not an addiction anymore,so they have to think what they value the most and start from there and interlace with some passions they may have,there is no real other way out of this.

I don't know about you man, but if you feel gambling will ruin your life, then you should stop. I also have children but it never came into my mind to stop gambling because I know I can handle my finances, provide the needs of my family while gambling.

You are lucky that you have such a character and temperament and such a mental state. However, there are quite a few of these people who cannot simply switch to other activities. And for them this is a problem, sometimes even a very serious one. And not only for them, but also for their relatives and friends. Such a person can completely exclude me from society. And here you cannot do without treatment by psychologists, and even by a psychiatrist. Unfortunately, such "crazy" players are becoming more and more due to the development of, first of all, Internet gaming sites.

I can assume that the lockdown influenced your behavior. Many people, being deprived of the opportunity to lead their usual way of life, acquire some kind of bad habit, which is then difficult to get rid of. Maybe for a start you should replace one addiction with another - a gym or another online game but without risking money?

Gambling is always fun because we are a gambler, but losing money that is already beyond our limit, gambling is not fun anymore, it's already called addiction as we urge ourselves to gamble to win and enjoy without considering the risk of doing it. We should be smart, not everything in this life that we like is always good for us, if we are building problem already, we should stop while it's not big enough yet.

This is sad to read but you can overcome it, many people have done before you and you can be one of them as well, the key is to ask for professional help as they have a lot of experience dealing with people with the same problem, this requires the hardest step that any one that is going through this has to take, which is to recognize they have a problem and they need to overcome it, but once you do you will feel liberated and you will be free to get back to your previous life once you go through the necessary treatment.

Self realization would be enough imho and wont really be needing any professional help but if you do find that its already hard to overcome for yourself then this is the time you do seek out
for some back up if you are really dont able to quit out.

Gambling is for entertainment but people do really turn out to be addicted because they are aiming on something which isnt possible which is to continue to win which is impossible.

Gambler is a player but when addiction hits you then this is the time where you do really face up some serious problems.

In the past it could be said that my time was only spent gambling even though I had a regular job, but somehow my days were always filled with gambling. Until finally I got a lot of losses until I decided to stop and unfortunately it didn't last long, because then I got to know online gambling which of course is very fun until now.

You realized that you are an addicted gambler and you know that it is wrong but you do not know how to deal with your addiction?
I think you need to find some help, you can start to talk to someone close to you like your own family.
Or you can ask someone you trust to hold your money so you will not be able to use it for gambling.
Anyway where do you usually gamble as I have never seen similar username like yours in some casinos where I usually play?

Gambling as an addiction is a substitute for something else that is missing in your life. Strong social relationships, a hobby, sports that make you better looking and feeling. If you set a goal like losing weight or whatever, try to shift your time into pursuing that goal.

I've seen an interesting documentary where they researched all kinds of addictions over a longer period of time, and in almost 100% of the cases the addiction (whatever type) was a substitute for something those people wished for but felt they couldn't have. Social relations often help, hang out with ambitious friends who aren't fucked up themselves or are depressed. Even cut social relations that depress you. There are a lot of things one can do to improve life.

The surest way to change your attitude towards gambling is to have plastic surgery on your face. Ironically, facial plastic surgery will cure your gambling addiction.

A professor of psychology told me about this.

How can it be? It is so simple!

Our face is our personality. By changing our face, we are changing our personality.

However, plastic surgery is a very cardinal tool for personal growth.

You can do otherwise. Buy glasses without diopters and wear them all the time. Glasses change your face a lot. You can dye your hair green or red. Place braces on your teeth.

The main principle is that by changing your appearance, you can get rid of bad habits.
