Indeed, you can stop for a few minutes to calm yourself and your mind, but in the end, after that, it's back to playing and that's what I always do.
Maybe losing all the money and not having anything can make someone stop gambling in an instant and for quite a long time, especially if you don't have a source of income, you can be sure that you will never enter the world of gambling again.
It is because your brain has already forced itself to remember that gambling gives you pleasure, and the nerves at the region in your brain that controls the release of feel-good hormones whenever you gamble has already been wired to respond to gambling positively. It's incredibly difficult to go against your brain when it comes pleasure, as it's extremely hard to curb whatever activities give you pleasure because your brain will always choose the one that you feel the most pleasure in. Even if you lose a lot of money in gambling, your brain will always claw back in to getting your feel, hence why you feel addicted to gambling even though you don't have any means to gamble. You may feel bad at first, but these feelings of regret cannot really overwhelm the feeling of pleasure that your brain wants to get.
I would think that the desire to attain more or to recover what has been lost in the past would also factor into a problem habit. The best way to stop something that is unhealthy is to cut off the source and to seek support to keep the source away. Over time it will be easier to stay away and reflection of any damage caused may become strength to stay away over a long term. I think this also applies to other vices such as drugs.
And also, from my own personal experience, one way to avoid chasing after loses in gambling is to always take some time off gambling when ever you feel you have lost some amount of money you weren't prepaid to loose, this will help you heal quicker and also put away any urge that would want to push you or give you the idea of gambling more to win your loss back.
I agree with your first statement completely. I think that the best way to win against gambling though, is not to. More often than not the house will win. Even if one does win, it will go back to the house in the long run. It can be said that it is healthy if it is a guilty pleasure or an occasional enjoyment...but this is the same as skating on thin ice of it very easily becoming unhealthy. No gambling, no stress. In my opinion, the time and emotional toll spent gambling would be better spent into more fulfilling things or better opportunities!
I am clear that the game in casinos one can never beat the house, the house always has the advantage and the games themselves are designed to always have an advantage over the house (another advantage aside) that is known, therefore When we decide to have action with a casino, what we should keep in mind is that not everything is like gold, that all that glitters is gold, no, things can be very nice here but the reality is different, besides a casino It cannot become an ATM, people who win once are because they are very lucky or because they have lost many times.
Correct me if I'm wrong, as far as I know, playing Casino is an interesting thing, but there are things we should avoid, namely the desire to play with large amounts of money, and that risks losing or vice versa, even if only a few percent of the winnings are obtained, it's the same amount. the losses you get will be even bigger than the winnings, of course it won't be balanced, because the system has been designed to give victory to users in winning, so it's the same as our brains are forced to fight the machine, in my opinion that's what must be avoided gamblers to play with big capital, it's better to play just for fun than to play with ambition..
