Topic: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? - page 2. (Read 2143 times)

That's the question on the thread, that there are gamblers that can quit for a moment but then will still come back when they have to.

Trust me, if these gamblers are going to break the cycle they just can't. And that's because they have the urge to gamble still, no matter how long the break has been.

Awareness is there but, it's more accepting to them just go on and deal with the consequences later on.

Well, for sure, so far the money willing to lose thing has worked very well for me, and that applies to gambling and trading, it is the only way I have to control myself, and as I said, that has been my strategy only for the traditional, what happened is that it was applied to gambling and boy does it work, of course, this technique is for people who are disciplined, because anyone comes and says I'm going to spend 30usd at the casino, and if the opposition comes and you lose the 30usd, you ignore it and deposit more, because for me that is not having discipline, there is nothing worse than deceiving yourself, so if we do it like that, there is no wonder everything goes to hell, So the best thing is first of all to have discipline and if not, then acquire it once and for all, you also have to see something, in casinos everything is with money, everything is based on it, if we don't take care of our money, who is going to take care of it? the casino? No, the casino wants our money and wants that of others, but the casino gives opportunities to win and if we win and we pass, then there is the intelligence that we apply to the game.

And this should be something that not only applies to casinos, we are people who have problems in daily life, if we are not capable of having discipline in something as simple as it is in a casino, how then will we manage our lives when we Is there interaction between people who think one way or another? as ? There must be discipline for everything, there must be order, this is what we must always apply, sometimes we must adjust our things to events, there is no other way, it is a different way to do it, but we believe that it has order, I cannot Imagine how a person can handle themselves if they don't even have order to play in a casino, that is, if they have a lot of money they waste it just because they didn't control their emotions.

Excellence is important to me, especially in unpredictable situations like casinos. Its a myth that gambling effort guarantees results. In stark reality? Not skill, but chance. Like you, I think gambling loans are risky and foolish. A key part of gambling is accepting loss as inevitable, which "money ready to lose" emphasizes.

You emphasize self-control? Most important. My gambling philosophy is to respect one's limits, not challenge them. Its about distinguishing hobby from hazard. Gambling should never come before financial responsibility.

They can break the cycle by not gambling for a while and diverting their minds to doing other things so they never think about gambling. This circle must be broken immediately so that they can see that they still have a chance to overcome their gambling problem, but they must also have a strong desire to solve it. If the reason they want to recover is instead playing gambling again, that will never help but will instead make them unable to heal themselves and there is a possibility that they will experience a gambling addiction. There must be awareness and intention to overcome their gambling problem so that they can start looking for ways to overcome their gambling problem.

doing something the best is definitely a must for everyone, because with that we can produce something that will end in good things, it is impossible for anyone to do something bad with the aim of producing something less good. It is impossible. including when we go to the casino, of course we will definitely do our best to be able to produce something good such as winning, but it is not guaranteed that we will get a win at the casino Taking a loan to gamble is not a good thing in my opinion it is an action that is outside normal limits.

So that there is no borrowing and borrowing of money for gambling, therefore we must be able to allocate money ready to lose in gambling because in my opinion people who have problems with gambling are those who are not ready for the money they bet to lose, even though they lose. in gambling it will definitely happen, therefore we should be able to allocate the money we are ready to lose so that nothing happens that triggers big losses Do gambling wisely, think clearly and don't overdo it, and self-control is the key to gambling Don't deposit more money on gambling because it doesn't guarantee that you will be able to get a win that can cover the losses that have occurred.

Of course gambling will not be a problem if we are able to control it well. Gambling itself is related to finances. If we cannot control our expenses, it will cause problems with our financial stability and this can cause problems with the happiness we get not being optimal and actually experiencing chaos caused by not being able to control ourselves. This role is very important for gamblers who need good thinking because self-control will not make us gamble excessively.

People stop gambling just because they don't have more money to gamble because the money they have is to meet their needs because if you use money that is for important needs, it is very risky if you use it for gambling because it will cause losses which can later cause problems, I myself I have known gambling for many years and have never experienced serious problems due to gambling.

Well, but do the following, the money you have, let's say if you have 500usd, do this, prepare to spend only 50usd, and I think it's a lot, but just do the test, just start playing that, after that just keep something in mind If you multiply it perfectly, don't think about it and take out the money completely, but now if you lose it then stay still, learn to have the discipline that that is what you had to lose and nothing more, because if you manage to do it you are already starting I am starting to control yourself, from my own experience it is much better to control the money than to control the emissions, and with that money you can play a lot if you set your mind to it well, but always be aware that if you want to play more at that time do not deposit, because later you will play with less money and as I told you only willing to lose, if you lose it do the same work.

Now when you have these strategies ready you will not have any kind of problems doing things for yourself. Basically, when you gain discipline, it will be easier to handle any bear. I tell you this because since I was little I learned to have discipline with my sports, especially in hapkido where at the beginning you receive a lot of blows.

But I had my way of disciplining myself and saying that with this money I do this, or that and so on, after things one learns to be discipline , but it is something that must be done, just so that things turn out better, in This order of ideas we must learn to have discipline for everything and more in this case not to lose money, I consider that not losing money is the most important thing in a casino, that is only what is most interesting.

When we are in a Casino we must take this to that level , this is the way that can be most Controlled because the fact that you Feel that you are Falling into Addiction , that Problem must be Attacked now, from now on , you do not have to think about it much , it is for your own good and it is Very sincere advice that I give you.

If you are someone who do have been able to recover from gambling addiction and if ever you have been able to play gambling again but this time you would really be already that responsible
since you've been aware about the things that it could possibly give out when it comes to effects. For those who have been addicted and able to recover then most of them for sure
might be that quit up entirely but just said that there are ones who do come back but responsible this time.

Gambling is really just that for fun but if you are that doing gambling for the sake of money making then this is where issues would be starting up because desperation
would really be something that will really be inside you.

It is going to be a cycle that they can't get rid off.

When they want to gamble and then for that reason is because they want to recover, they will never recover. Let's say some of them finally have recovered but out of the many, how many actually did? maybe really a few amount of gamblers.

Realizing their state and how gambling works will make them analyze themselves if they're still on track or no longer on it and that's why they need to control no matter how long it will take.

Balance in between spending money and and entertainment. We do know that everything should really be having that balance because everything which is excessive is never been good.
If you do gamble then of course that sense of responsibility and control would really be that relevant because if you do miss out this thing then dont get shocked that one day you would really
be having those gambling problems. People who do mess up with gambling are to those people who are really that been able to missed up on controlling themselves.
You wont really be having any problems if you are really just that mindful with your gambling activity. Those wont really be an issue if you are really just that having  that good control.

The gambling addiction was the mostly faced problem by the gamblers,if the gamblers are not a gambling addicted person.So the answer for the first question will be NO for the most of the gamblers.Actually the gamblers doesn’t understand they are in the gambling addicted,the gamblers friend can able to understand the gamblers was in the addiction.

The biggest problem need to overcome by myself is the betting of high money for each betting.Whenever I get funds from the income,I had an habit of playing the game.But the negative part of my betting is the high amount as the betting amount in the each betting.

Yes, I agree with what you say, that if you lend money it is a very personal decision and each one of us at the time of entering into a casino, so we assume that the person is quite responsible because he is of legal age and has many things. to do well and that for everything you do you have to assume whether you lose or win, therefore we are the only person who is always going to focus on doing things well, I have already said my Reasons why I do not recommend taking loans and even less to play in such a way, apart from the fact that it seems crazy to me, I see it as a great irresponsible thing, but given that each person is their own world and they decide what seems best to them, it is something that I respect at all, because like Sometimes they can say that people do what they want with their money, with their things, because that is something that could leave one silent, because it is the truth, they are completely right.

So when it comes to lending money, when you plan to do things like that, that's something that we have to consider because things are different for each person, I can't say that things are the way I think of a person who has their own way of thinking. To think, no, it would be something imprudent, because no one likes someone else to come and tell them how to play, how to spend their money and how to make their financial decisions, because then each one is the owner of their actions, so in this order of ideas, many more things have to be done so that ways of thinking can be generated, but of course all this has to be thought about what should be done, I could think that when we are in a casino the best thing is what I have always applied and have I have learned that we must allocate money ready to lose, it is the only way to be able to control everything and if it is even lost, then not deposit more money or do anything, that is why I will always recommend something like this because it is the only thing I do know that works.

For me, it depends, if I have extra money to gamble just like years ago, I did like have a streak of 3 or more years playing constantly online and in traditional based casinos. But after losing my job, obviously, my priorities changes. And when I got back on my feet and started to make money again, then my old habits come back.


Just like I said, income. I don't have the money then to continue with my gambling habits and so I completely stop. I still made sense before everything goes out of control like taking a loan or borrow money from banks or to any individuals. But it also take me years to have a steady job and money flowing in because I started to go back into my traditional based playing.

To the first question, I think that deserve a straight forward answer, and my answer to that is a capital "NO", I do not have such a gambling problem.

And secondly, to the second question, speaking concerning myself, I would also say, no, for I don't have any gambling problem(s) at all, I might be addicted to other stuff which I might not mention here, but not and never with gambling, I am and have always been a very conservative and occasional gambler, it's always very easy for me to decide not to gamble at any time, same way it's easy for me to decide to gamble when ever I feel like..
So, personally, I have no gambling problem, but then, out there, there are definitely alot of gambler who are managing one, two or more gambling problems, any body in this category can always seek for solution, they don't have to carry that problem from year to year, or year after year, it could reducing their life span as well as closing doors to good opportunities.

Certainly, gambling is a enjoyable but it is very important to maintain balance in gambling because even if this balance is slightly disturbed, it can have serious negative effects. It is true that I said that gambling twice every month isn't a bad thing because even if a person with good budget management loses money gambling twice every month, this will not have a serious negative impact. It is absolutely a very important detail to ensure that gambling remains "fun" for an individual and that this balance is maintained so that the individual doesn't gamble in a stressful or depressive state. A person should act knowing very well when to stop and after what point gambling can turn into a nightmare instead of fun.

Of course, gambling should never be a method in which we think we can make money and it should only have meaning for us as a method of fun because there is never a guarantee of winning in gambling and it is also an activity in which we can lose all the money due to its high risk. In other words, it is a very important detail to just enjoy gambling without expecting regular income.

It does take time to master self-control but it is still worth practicing, especially if we still want to gamble so that we can control ourselves when gambling. We don't want to experience a good loss, so we really have to be able to master self-control, which can prevent us from gambling excessively and not using a lot of money to gamble. We can gamble responsibly with good self-control because we know that gambling has temptations that can attract us to gamble and forget about other things. And it is self-control that can prevent us from being tempted and can allow us to use gambling properly.

Gamblers who do not have self-control will only lose more money and cannot prevent losing after losing because they continue to gamble. That will be a problem for them because they cannot control themselves in gambling so they will only lose their money rather than get money from gambling. If they can't realize it, the problem will get bigger, and they won't be able to prevent it anymore. What's worse is that they will experience a gambling addiction that they won't be able to cure easily. More problems will come to them when they don't want to learn self-control, so we have to master good self-control.

Yes and No (I think)

The thing is that I self-diagnosed myself as a chronic gambler albeit perhaps even an addicted gambler during the height of the pandemic. I lost so much money gambling during those times and I realized that it's become a problem when I can't even buy decent food for myself after a gambling session. Since then I quitted gambling cold turkey and have recently returned to the gambling scene a year ago. So far, I feel like there are still remnants of my old gambling behavior manifesting itself when I gamble, but not so far as to cause me concern thinking I'm slowly becoming addicted to gambling again.

One of these past behavior's my tendency to gamble high-stakes when I play. I rarely play low-ball, as I believe I'll just lose as much when I gamble in teeny-tiny bits, with the returns even lesser since my wager's not that big in the first place. Soon as I quitted gambling I still find myself betting a little bit bigger than the average gambler, only thing being the fact that I'm no longer driven by profit, but instead by the fact that it's more exhilarating and perhaps even challenging for me to gamble when I play bigger bets as compared to when I gamble small-time.

Reason why I think it's still there waiting to manifest is because I never really lost a couple of my past gambling behavior, only difference now being the fact that I could control them and not succumb to the urges. However, since I can control them better now more than ever, I don't think I'm that susceptible to gambling addiction anymore unlike in the past.

Those that don't have self control will learn it the hard and expensive way. All it takes is just an experience that they will never forget.

If they haven't seen that yet to themselves then that's what they need to do. Because if they were able to control it some years ago, it's possible that they can again.

But if they don't think that there's not enough reason for them to do it, going back to the former, it is going to be another experience for them to realize it.

If it's something you can 'control' for years, then I don't think it's something you can call a problem in the first place.

Things only get to be a problem if it becomes uncontrollable and managed to become one continuously. If you have a negative trait that you can turn off for some reason, then it's not something that can bring problems to you. In the case of gambling, if you can control it for years and not have the urge to play it if you really don't like to, why would it be considered a problem?

Then again, I know that there are instances wherein people just 'snap' out of what they're doing regularly and just be in a period of chaos. It's a possibility, but if you can control something for a long time, then I'm sure you will have the ability to control it too when you enter the time of that said chaos.

It should be and it shouldnt really be changed over the course of time because most likely people dont be able to experience messing up their lives on early phase but as the time goes by
on which they have been able to make themselves getting that gradually be having those change of thoughts and impressions towards gambling then this is where shit things do start to mold up.
Dont let yourself having those emotions that you do already becoming that impulsive on the way that you do make out bets. Gambling or betting should be fun and not something that would really be stressful for you because if you do find yourself on such state or condition then it isnt really that ideal or worth anymore on making yourself that dealing up with gambling.
