Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 23. (Read 3810 times)

Self-control is the primary factor that comes to the mind, I'm ready to keep everything to myself without alerting my partner. Doing what makes you happy is also part of our goals, keen on improving in areas we are performing poorly, more like fixing our weaknesses. Some individuals seen gambling as fun, most people have seen it as a more serious stream to generate income, which is totally wrong, better we get rid of that mentality. Not interfering our relationship with our gambling activities, ought to be kept distant, only striving for the best results whe  gambling. Our partners should under from our own point of view, because we gamble inother to gain extra changes to our pockets.

Once you do compromise those basic needs then this is where relationship would be affected.Leisure/entertainment would really be a different thing on which it would really be just that so normal
that you would really be able to identify which things are really that worth on dealing with or something that you could really be able to pass up and wont really be compromising something. Usually people would really be messing out their lives just because they do make out some bad decisions. Relationship would really be greatly affected on the time that you would really be that compromising on whatever things which are important or simply with those priorities. You would really be finding yourself that on a hard situation if you do compromise those things on which it is really just that normal that you would be facing up those consequences.If you dont like for these things to happen then it would really be wise that you should really be sensible in towards your actions specially on dealing with gambling. Gamble only on the amount which you can afford to lose and dont make yourself that go into go past beyond your limit because if you do so then you would really be finding
yourself on such tough situation.

Is posible for gambling to affect people relationship because at some point alot still deoends on the generall outcome of the result of gambling on the individual life and how it affect their finances this is very important and should be properly considered while waiting or being active in being  active with gambling.


To me, when it comes to gambling, finances matters and as long as your gambling activity does not bring in money, you should know that it will definitely affect your relationship with others and your spouse most especially.

You are right, I think gambling should actually be an activity that is only a means of entertainment for us or an activity that is done just to have fun and relieve fatigue by playing some games.
But because of the various difficulties, life burdens and financial problems they face, some people will definitely have unreasonable thoughts about looking for ways or shortcuts to overcome their financial problems. So as time goes by, the perception of gambling becomes a source of making money or a source of income.
In my opinion, gambling itself is not actually a wrong activity as long as the person carrying out the gambling activity can still think logically and be responsible for what he is doing.
It is better for everyone to be aware and have the idea that gambling is an activity that is done for fun, not to be used as a source of income and it is better for everyone to be aware that winnings from gambling are never guaranteed to be won because the winnings are just bonuses obtained from carry out the game activities that we do.

Exactly it could affect your relationship with your partner or even your family or friends, I think the best way is to control yourself while doing this and not fall into a greed that could ruin you financially.

It'll be better when you get involved in gambling, just by doing it for fun and not as taking it as a source of income.

Totally that would really be different and we could really be able to clasify both things whether its a pure luck based or something that could really be called to be a strategic based on which you could really be able to

take advantage since you could really be able to apply some analysis which is something that you cant do when dealing up with pure luck ones. This is why it would really vary because non all gamblers are really that addicted and not all are really that bound to lose. Of course there would really be those advantages depending on how you  do deal with it and on what type of gambling you are dealing with.
Speaking about effects then it would really be in overall, doesnt matter whether you are playing which type because in speaking about gambling activity then expect that results could neither
have that effect towards your time and relationship with others or not.

We arent that dumb on not to point or notice out on whats those things along the way. Unless if you are really that a insensible person then you wont really be able
to feel out or would be able to point out on what are those problems that gradually molding.

Gambling can only affect the relationship between two people when one leaves his or her duty to provide or take care of the other for gambling.

When this behavior begins (focusing more on gambling and showing less concern for the relationship), there is every chance that the relationship between those two people will be rocky because the man has abandoned his responsibility of providing to spend it on gambling and also has accumulated bills that have not yet been paid, and as a result, he sells some of the properties to gamble.

There will be conflict in the relationship when this happens, which could result in separation since the woman can't continue to live with a man who is an addicted gambler and has no regard for the relationship.

Of course, if a gambler is immersed only in gambling, he will become alienated from his close ones after a while. But even sink in gambling the relationship can be kept in right position, it will basically depend on the gambler. If he gambles regularly and gives time to his relationship regularly then it will not have any negative effect. But what happens most of the time is that if someone spends more time than usual on gambling then he will be irregular in his other areas and some will look at him differently so he will fail to maintain his relationship.

If you are right, what happened is that sometimes we observe things when it comes to ages, things that have to do with how to face them in front of a casino or any area of life, because everyone has their own way of seeing things, I have seen that there are adults up to 50-60 years old who look like they have never matured, it is incredible, but since they make such childish mistakes that are too obvious, then these things are the ones that one says should not get out of control, especially everything in these things that have to do with the ways of managing money, and well that makes the difference when we see ourselves like this in that way everything that a mature person can do can be taken into consideration, the way to attack a problem, of How to react to things that produce a lot of adrenaline, all this is very different from how a Mature person Reacts to a person who is not mature, age is important, yes, but sometimes age is not adjusted chronologically.

I have friends who have played in casinos for many years, and they cannot have any money in their hands because they leave it in the casino, and they do not win, but what they do is betray like crazy, and do something that normally a person should not do, the most common is his friend who is almost 46 years old and it is still like that, what he earns in the month, because he cannot go through a casino, because if he does he leaves everything there, and I have wondered , that when he does that, how will he maintain himself? to buy food from him? For the basic things is that literally the things you do with the money is leave it there, there is no other way, it is always that way, that is why when we are in a casino and we see these types of people, well we have to be aware, At least for me it takes a lot of work to earn my living, then the effort, dedication, is Something that is rewarded with that , so we can't leave it all there because it's a great Irresponsibility.

As long as you can control yourself while gambling and don't exceed your limits, you will be fine, and it won't interfere with your relationships with other family members or even your environment. But the reality is that when a gambler has lost a lot, he cannot accept his losses easily and instead continues gambling until his money runs out. And when his money runs out, he will feel annoyed and take it out on the people around him. That's the beginning of their relationship being disturbed, and if that person doesn't realize their mistake and apologize, it may be difficult for the relationship to recover.

Of course they can have an impact. because, as for me, the game should only be personal and only at one’s own expense, without involving anyone in the game and at the same time bringing discomfort to other people. If the problems from your losses begin to affect other people, the result will not be long in coming.

I've heard a lot of stories about how gamblers use life savings to gamble without informing their partners, even if they do inform their partners, is life savings the kind of money that's worth using for gambling?

If I have a partner who's into gambling I will be careful with them, to make sure that they don't do something very stupid, honestly, it's all about what you pick to be most serious about, it should be the Jobs or businesses, or future investment plans, any other things apart from these is a yellow flag.

Gambling is all about luck and the only little skill that you should get yourself involve with is managing your gambling risk, only gamble if there is enough money to cover your expenses and responsibilities, this should comes first and gambling should always come last.

It's simple if you want it to be simple, just follow the rules and gamble with what you can afford to lose, you are a complete loser if you as a gambler make a decision that brings your partner down with you.

That's right, basically gambling is quite a lot, not just purely about luck but as you said there is also a little bit based on skill, and with that we can do a little bit of ways to be able to increase the chances of winning. That's right, like sports betting where we can do a little analysis before choosing a club that can win, and with that means it's true that this bet is not entirely about luck but still in addition to skills we also can't play without luck because maybe that will be able to complete the results of our bets winning or losing at the end of the session.

I honestly quite agree for these two bets and indeed not all bets are the same, but there is still a luck factor in it too. I think sports betting or poker is safer for you, especially to minimize losses so that they are not too big, because the risk here is not like gambling in general, such as slot machines or whatever it is that really only relies on luck.

The root cause of getting that problem is because of the gambling participation and we know the possible after-effect of it.

I get your point but without participating chances not to fall to any of this can done, you need to play with responsibility if you want to keep
your relationship, like what you mentioned, once there's already something happening in the dark.

Meaning to say that there's a problem with handling the situation in your gambling activities, it can spark the problem and may affect your close
relation with your love ones.

This is the reason why there are some rules in gambling. Those rules were implemented in order to prevent this kind of event. Before starting gambling, you need to learn the basics and know what the rules are. Gamble what you can afford to lose. It is a way of entertainment. So you can not use something on which your life depends. This will prevent any issue with wasting money that is needed.
Set a budget. After separating the money that you can afford to lose, you need to set a budget that you can follow for gambling. Don't go over the budget. Doesn't matter what the situation is, always stick to the budget.
Learn to lose. Gambling is a 50/50 chance. You will win and you will also lose. So learn to lose and know the feelings of losing. It will also help you control your emotions.

If you follow these simple rules, you are less likely to get addicted and those events are lees likely going to happen.

Professional gambling is specialist and imo most of us are not capable of being so controlled but anyone can keep a budget.   Mention professional winning in Las Vegas and you risk initiating day dream thinking in people, the path to any profit is more mundane and routine imo.
   Ideally a whole month should have a budget to stop any particular day, say when you have a fight in a relationship which is normal but upsetting; a budget stops one leading to many days of losses.   If you isolate each days budget, dont expect to profit on any particular day and if using all that days money only return back to gamble the next day when you have slept and maybe are calmer.    All of these measures will help to isolate bad gambling behaviour and irrational reactive losses, I never even enjoy this type of loss anyway so why would we do it to ourselves.

While many believe that it's impossible to make money from gambling as an actual gambler, can look at those pro and typical gamblers that make some and lose some. It really varies as per gambler if they have a specific game that they're making a lot of money. E.g poker and sportsbetting. These two are not just all about luck although luck still plays a part on it but most likely, it is the gambler's ability to look and create their own strategies depending on the situation in poker and the same goes in sportsbetting.

It's still about self-control and yes, it is true that this failure of self-control can damage everything which can make the situation worse and it often happens that gamblers lose their families because they choose to continue gambling and it's all about self-control.
But in my personal opinion it all depends on each individual's thoughts, such as how the gambler thinks about gambling, whether he only thinks about fun or thinks of gambling as earning money and from here it is very clear that gamblers who come to have fun, they only gamble for entertainment, but for gamblers who consider gambling as a source of income, I think it is a very bad mindset that a gambler will lose control when experiencing the first loss and continue to chase losses until it reaches the addiction phase.
With this addiction,  gambler doesn't care about anything, even his partner's relationship or even his relationship with his family he won't think about it the most important thing is that he can gamble.

The relationship that will have an indirect impact is family, that is the first thing if the player cannot have control. Don't gamble, even general things like daily money can damage relationships, gambling will be the same and maybe more bad. However, there are also many people who do not face any problems, because of good communication between the family, both with parents and partners and using reasonable money for gambling. Maybe, if someone want to maintain a relationship with their family, it's not just self-control, if possible, it would be better before too late, if husband/wife had control over some important money, so maybe this get caught up in wanting to gamble more which could ultimately affect the relationship.

If we are gambling and lack self-control, it will definitely affect our relationship with the people around us knowingly to us or not, people study us even at unaware and the moment they begin to see some abnormalities with the way on how we gamble, they began to conclude on some things about us which may really affect our relationship with them, also being a gambler, let's try to ensure we gamble responsible in other to make our relationship with others unaffected, people were actually watching at us even though we are not sure of this happening.
