Self control is easier with gambling because investments can replace that urge... Although with higher amounts it's likely to be better without gambling, the joy is sometimes rigid over time using the same amount.

It takes loads to unveil the downfall with this particular area and is usually learned whilst performing this activity.

i think self control in gambling is really hard and is because gambling is tempting us to continue playing gambling even if we don't have any money to played. but we can encourage other people to develop and help that person to do self control in gambling so that person can minimize the risk and in the end can getting loss all the money. i think if that person have passion to do self control then it will be easy to help that person because that guy is realize that self control is important for them.

That's not impossible to encourage anyone to have develop self control and in fact self control is in your nature as a person. Well having more worst experiences of losing in gambling could probably make you realize in along run that maybe you need to have it. One way of encouraging a friend or any person who you happen to know is divert him with any sports activities and other pleasurable things in order to shortened his time priorities which affects hus gambling schedules in any time of the day.

This is a good solution for the gamblers in gambling world. If all gamblers will apply this behavior for sure losses in gambling could possibly lessen the problems.

Unless you are a Victoria Secret model or some kind of professional trained and certified in helping people with addiction, I seriously doubt anything you do or say will do anything other than annoy and cause the gambler in question to avoid you. It has to start with the gambler him/her-self. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time in my opinion.

Yes, for sure. Education and knowledge are definitely factors in developing someone's self control, especially in the odds and mathematics of the games of chance.

I believe its one of the reason why some bitcoin gambling sites or gambling spite generally always ensure that anybody patronising their services accepted the terms that they are adult by the definition of laws in their respective countries because gambling comes with responsibility and anyone going into it by default should be able to exercise self control and not to lose what you cannot afford then start crying foul or scam all over... Not that I am supporting scam though by sites though...

Yes, of course, we could encourage anyone to develop self control in gambling, But as i know everyone have knowledge about self control, so sometime it is useless to tell anyone about self control. Because in this time, everyone have play online and real gambling, and they all know that gambling is risky, So i don't think we need to tell anyone to develop self control.

Self control is within everybody and no one needs to be told to be self control by default, its in everyone the attitude we display towards it is what differs as what might be self control to me, might be within the acceptance region of another person. In the case of gambling, I dont think its necessary because the assumption I have concerning anyone engaging in gambling is that he / she is fully responsible for his action so if the result should come out of self control or lack of it, he/she should be ready for its consequence.

But I believe, suggesting to have self control is more important for gamblers than anyone else. Unlike any other industry, gambling gives us extra pressure that is the reason people are losing their coolness and act based on their emotions. I guess no other field is such a emotionally controlling us to lose our self control.

Yes gambling will give more tension, Other business people will not get this much tension. In gambling it is instant money loss, so people will not control their emotions. And it will make them lose more money in the row. But this self-control we can not encourage to others they only learn how to control their emotions. And when they learn means when people lose all money and wallet empty then they realise and they start to control their emotions.

Self control is the thing which could be developed just by encouraging one person. It will be possible only through strong will power. Still, in some cases, encouragement will help people to develop disciplines from that they may practice self control.

If you really like your friend take him to a counselor and give him the best possible counselling to stop gambling rather than preaching about self control and stuff. It is really difficult to understand and guide an individual who is ridding the wrong path of life. For these you need an expert to deal.

Op, you are right, but being right in this case is not enough. You can't just develop self control, you either have it or not.
I've seen people with iron will who otherwise were great men succumb themselves to the excessive gambling virus.
If you are addicted or you entered the phase when you want to 'just get back what you lost' you won't stop.

Unfortunately, you can't do that when your friend is attached to gambling, though you can try, but I doubt that they would listen. They would only listen to you if they are losing too much and there is nothing in their wallet to fund their bankroll.

You should find what he loves to do the most when your friend is not busy betting.

We can try to stop them, but it's not that much easy. Family members can do this very quickly because every person gives respect to family members words. If they give suggestions, there is possibilities are there to follow their suggestions not sure. But friends suggestions they really don't care. If they are in critical condition, then they will listen, but this is also not sure.

You can, but it will be hard... You might end up in disappointment if you insist... When a gambler is focused on what he wants to do ( to gamble or bet ) You cannot break their concentration as it will end up as if you are an annoying person that gambler ever met...

May be it is effective if before the guy starts to gamble, you told him/her that you will be reminding him/her to take a break from time to time...

If you are talking into a gambling addict then we cant encourage them because their mind and aims are attached already to gambling which means even you encourage them they will still play.

For those who just do regular gambling, it's possible.

But it's a different story for hardcore gambler. Better let them experience the feeling of being a wrecked one even you don't like that to happened. Since that kind of result is the only way they can feel that gambling will not do any good in the long run.

Well in a way you'rr right that its part of our nature to have self control, but its also part of our nature to lose ourselves in whatever we do that gives us contentment and fulfillment. We can't just really tell other people to control themselves and gamble less. It has to start from them. They have to want it. If a person is fond of games, then most likely gambling would give them satisfaction they get from playing other games as well.

Yeah I think we could encourage other to do it,
I mean we could let them do any other stuff that would keep them busy and distracted for gambling,
But it is up to them if they will do it we can not force somebody to do the things that they don't want to do.

Gambler who addicted can encourage, but need a people/person who oversee, at once become a tutor, means a people/person who can control such a gambler who addicted to follow the instructions or even force him/her(gambler who addicted).

I think the activity is not just sports, it can be anything which he/she likes and can distract from gambling activity, make him/her stay away from any gambling equipment and even erase he/she gambling account.

This is the wrong approach, since this is too forceful and the addicted will feel you are not trying to help him but to try to rule his life and that is not good and even if you help him to leave gambling temporally you can be sure that person will hide his activities from you and keep gambling and when that happens you will not be able to help him because you will not be aware of the situation.

(The grammar though) Tongue

I think you are starting a world war 3 here , erasing someone's gambling account is not really necessary to help them to quit gambling, it will just cause a fight between you two or worst, because if you really want to help them, you will do it in a better way, like encouraging him to do something that is worth of his time than gambling. For example is this forum, teach him to do signature campaign so he can earn bitcoin per week, and not to lose bitcoin everyday, and I think that is great.

To be honest, we can't really change someone by just saying good things to them, encouraging them to do good stuffs and quit the thing that they do that don't benefits them, because if they do really want to change, it must be from their heart, they must be dedicated, so that the "Change" that they are looking for can be achieve by them.

Well that is true its really not impossbile to encourage anyone to develop self control but they own it but we can change it by the person whom you trust and also its really terrible to experience losing in gambling when you bet so much but you lost it like it was just nothing but i think in gambling you can minimize it by dating someone you like or having fun outside from your house going to bars and to parties their are alot of things to do Cheesy

To force people to self control you first have to agree that gambling is a bad thing and it isn't. It's a game of chance that is not good or bad, just like alcohol isn't good or bad.
It all depends on the player. If he uses the money he should be spending on food and bills, he's addicted and will ruin himself, but if he uses the money he would otherwise spend on partying or hobbies, there's nothing bad in it.

Or maybe just let him have it the hard way. Let them have a bad experience in gambling and they will eventually try to develop self control. Some people don't want to be controlled or persuaded by other people. I also believe that self control is learned by yourself. It's different to all of us. Some can easily control themselves and some can't. There are some that can control themselves by having a reward and/or punishment on their actions. Some do positive and negative reinforcements. You better search for ways to discipline yourself as if you're a lab rat and find out which works best for you.

I will say Yes and i am agree that it is possible to encourage anyone particularly controlling himself or herself .
Our mind is the only barrier if we accept things and changes all is possible. Diverting your activites is a good way if you can't resist gambling in your mind .encouraging someone needs time and effort especially if he is willing to change his ways.

I do agree that if individuals don't have that desire to come out of gambling or restricting from not to gamble every day then it is almost impossible to do it. But if gamblers decide to control themselves then they can find many ways to do it. One example is they always playing with a small fixed amount and once in a week or couple of times in a month then they can reduce their losses gambling. But if one gamble with small amount every day then over the time one can lose a lot of money.

Self control to me is keeping your house in order and when you lose you dont gloat about it and when you win, you enjoy in peace. But this self control is not something that can be learned. To me, its personal as what I will lose and make noise about it, to someone else, its just an amount lost for fun. What we can only teach is to continue preaching about just betting or gambling what you can afford to lose personally.

Its hard to encourage anyone to develop self-control to order to minimize gambling because once you started to gamble its hard to get out of it. When we gamble our emotions and feeling become irrational and we totally forgot our self-control. So to talk to someone and encourage the individual will take a lot of effort on your side as well. You should probably set his mind that gambling will he will not always win in gambling and should put or just save his money instead of playing it in a casino.

It's good to, once in a while, remind someone we care about. Sometimes, just a word or two coming from someone who cares about us would help.

But, come on. Don't be so weak, to the point where someone has to stop or remind you to control your gambling.
Never let your gambling be destructive, to you or your family. It's got to start with you. Do not depend on others to stop your own destructive behavior. If you decide to gamble, then you better make sure you can stop.

While this would be a rational response, humans most of the time don’t take decision like that, especially with something like gambling that does not require any kind of planning or anything, since all of the people that became addicted to something did not planed that to happen.

Now I think divert in activities like sports that will not help much, because surely after finish they can gamble online at home on a night when there was no work. Maybe there should be the intention from oneself to can change or a bad experience that can make aware and changing. Push to develop self-control it will help a little, the rest depends on the person.

It's not easy to ask someone and encourage them in quitting. But if you will give them some reward, I guess they will pursue and beat your challenge that way and also another thing is that you are encouraging them to quit. So it will be a win-win situation for both of you and at the same time you helped them to quit.

bounty system won't possibly not work since theirs a big possibilities that if the bounty rewards will end gamblers will cameback to play their old games. And i think the best thing we can do is to advice those gamblers to minimize their game and tell them how worst it would came when they wouldn't stop their bad tantrums. Although our advices will not work but surely they will realize in the end of the game that our sweet talks at them is truly nice for their sake.

It will still work, don't think that way because you are going to practice his friend to quit gambling. And I don't think so that he will just take the challenge for the bounty because if that is so, he will refuse the challenge and just go back with gambling. It can make his appetite to loose in gambling if he didn't gamble for a longer time.

there are some things in life that people have to gain themselves, you can't hand some experiences to others. they have to go there, experience themselves and slowly learn it!

and self control is an important one of them. and it is not for gambling but it is true about all your life. in other words you gain self control ability in your life then gambling is a small part that you use that control in. which means no amount of encouragement works on some people.

It is a good thought to distract your friends from gambling activity, but in order to control or stop someone from gambling it needs to come from the person himself, without the willingness from the people to stop or to control himself we will not be able to control him, and when a person want to stop gambling addiction you can used your distraction way to help the person to control himself

Self realization is the first step you have take for encouraging people to develop. You have to actually first make him realize that he is addicted to gambling. He might be in the state of denial though. Then comes the rest of the part. Divert him through different ways. Make him create a new hobby for himself which he can spend his time at during his leisure time.

Well having more worst experiences of losing in gambling could probably make you realize in along run that maybe you need to have it.

It's for real but I don't understand addicted gamblers because they are thinking about recovering their losses.

One way of encouraging a friend or any person who you happen to know is divert him with any sports activities and other pleasurable things in order to shortened his time priorities which affects hus gambling schedules in any time of the day.

I find a way to encourage them to quit, make a challenge to him and tell that if he is able to make the challenge which is not gambling for a month or two, then you will give him a reward.

that's only the way I think it is giving them a reward that they can't get in gambling , or challenging them in a way they really want for them.it is really hard.to encourage people who doesn't want to here things from others and just want to rely on themselves.

It's good to, once in a while, remind someone we care about. Sometimes, just a word or two coming from someone who cares about us would help.

But, come on. Don't be so weak, to the point where someone has to stop or remind you to control your gambling.
Never let your gambling be destructive, to you or your family. It's got to start with you. Do not depend on others to stop your own destructive behavior. If you decide to gamble, then you better make sure you can stop.

According to me it's impossible to encourage anyone in order to Leave Gambling Because No one Can Change anyone to leave Gambling Because Gambling is a Addiction So If Someone Addicted to Gambling then the Person is Only Able to Leave Gambling Itself only......

Unless we are talking about a child you are raising or you are a therapist then I think the answer to that is no, since self control must come from within the person, a gambler may restrict himself when he is with you but as soon as you are not around he will gamble as usual.

Are you sure he will gamble again? If a person have self control he will have self limitation on what he is doing not just gambling, but most of those things that has a part of his life. One way to encourage them having self control is to divert his priorities like inviting him to other profit gaining investments like doing business.

The person could possibly gamble if he can't control himself unless they took away all of his money so he can't gamble again. Also looking at your last sentence sounds like you just repeated what op had said.

self control is the hardest thing that we can do especially if we are a gamblers because in every winning we have a will to be a winner in every time we gamble which is impossible and we have a greed inside ourself that we should avoid. we know that doing self control is good for us but we are not take serious about this so we continue playing gambling. we can help someone to develop his self control in gambling but its depend on how serious that person to control his self and we can not push him to do what we want but what we can do is we can stay beside him, giving a support to him to control his self especially his emotions and i am sure, that person can control his self.

Gaining self control may be a good idea to stop the addiction on gambling, though the problem is, it is hard to gain self control alone, you must have someone looking over you, maybe someone you know, or loves you, or maybe if you are rich you can hire someone.

The only way to gain real self control in gambling is by employing and learning proper bankroll management.

If you don't make decisions using emotion, but rather by logic, you are less likely to make ill informed decisions.

I don't understand what we are discussing over here. Correct me if I am wrong, is the topic about teaching addicted gamblers self-control? If that is the case then we can teach anyone this, but it is really up to the person if he wants to learn and apply it. A stranger has no influence over anyone who has a gambling addiction or any addiction for that matter.

With hard work and a lot of support we can get over anything I believe any kind of addiction can be treated but you need to k ow how and you need help. Gambling is one of the more addictive things and some people get top addicted and don't stop when they won but rather carry on until they have nothing. One way to stop is bring a friend to gamble with you and agree on a number and only bet that much however you like.

Professional help and support from friends and family can prove invaluable to an addict and is almost always needed and very much recommended. Remember control your bankroll and know when to stop though that is easier said then done.

Gambler who addicted can encourage, but need a people/person who oversee, at once become a tutor, means a people/person who can control such a gambler who addicted to follow the instructions or even force him/her(gambler who addicted).

I think the activity is not just sports, it can be anything which he/she likes and can distract from gambling activity, make him/her stay away from any gambling equipment and even erase he/she gambling account.

I think you can remedy his situation by introducing him to winnable betting stratagies like Arbitage betting where he will win no matter the outcome. If he's introduced into spotting loopholes in the odds of different bookmakers he will spend his time on this until you gradually get his appetite off betting.
