Topic: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? - page 3. (Read 2234 times)

The most important thing in gambling is to control yourself. Gambling causes many problems for those who become addicted, suffer from turmoil and suffer more financially. If a person can control his emotions then there is really no problem in gambling. There are many responsible gamblers who know how to keep themselves connected by gambling smartly, they don't have any effect on themselves but they get pleasure from gambling and prosper financially. If you can control yourself in the gambling place the problem is less.

I get your point. And I think gambling is enjoyable! But its about balance, right? Like you said, twice-a-month managed gambling isnt bad. Vigilance on the "gradual escalation" is crucial.

Gambling should match one's lifestyle and budget, not stretch it. You do it for fun, not stress, like watching a movie or eating out. Breaks might provide new perspectives. Autonomy and knowing when to stop are key.

Gambling is about fun, not profit. Fun and boundaries sustain it. To keep it positive, I recommend viewing it as part of a wider range of leisure activities.

My gambling life is not affecting any part of my life. Be it happiness, security or my relationship. What I always do is to make sure what ever I do in gambling is no attached to emotion. Because Puting your mind fully on gambling might make you find yourself in one of the listed problems above but gambling is a thing of calculation and endurance. and also applying smartness to it, will make it not to deprive you of your responsibilities, care and affection to your relationship. Gambling should be a good investment when you study and play smart.

Since you aren't addicted to gambling, gambling doesn't actually strain you financially or in any relationship but the fact that you gamble regularly and think that stopping it will force you may cause this to be a problem for you in the future. Gambling only twice in a month and doing it regularly isn't actually a problem but gradually increasing the activity you do twice a month or spending an amount of money that can strain your budget both times may cause you to have financial problems in the future. Even though it is very little, I think that it may be beneficial to take a break from gambling at the beginning of the journey if you think that gambling may affect you negatively in today's conditions in order to avoid problems in the future because you gamble constantly and regularly.

Certainly, if gambling makes the individual feel depressed or puts financial and relationship strain on the individual, it would be beneficial to take a break at least for a certain period of time. During the break period, a person can improve his/her financial situation and make his/her relationships more orderly and better. For this reason, it is very important for every individual who is addicted to gambling and feels depressed because of it, to control himself/herself and take a break from gambling.

Addicted to gambling person will never confess that he has a problem, as he turns everything into bad luck today and it will be better tomorrow. That he isnt addicted and cant resist gambling, he only test his luck today, like he did tomorrow and day before that. People here wont admit they have problems. We wont get true answers here. As people afraid or shy to share that they have a problem.

It takes time to master our self control and even those people who has a strong self control has curbed gambling addiction. One thing that will help you not to become addicted in gambling is strong self assessment, you need to know yourself if you are capable of avoiding the temptations and influence of other people on you, You need to know how to stand up for your own decisions and beliefs.

Everything will return to a person's self-control so the problem doesn't escalate. However, we are the ones who have to try to overcome the problem because if not, we will only be followed by the problem without knowing how to solve it. And when you feel that you might lose self-control, you should really learn self-control so that you won't become wild in using your money. We don't know how long we can still control ourselves when gambling, especially when there are so many temptations in gambling that make us really need to be able to control ourselves. And when we can master self-control, it will make us better at using gambling as entertainment and will not overdo it when we gamble.

That right, by just spending few dollars it is setting aside some money from income to provide everyone with portion of entertainment or pleasure.
It is clear that this is money that is prepared for fun and it is guaranteed that will be able to accept it if lose, gambling is fun but there is risk of losing money.
It all depends on how we accept and respond to everything in this gambling, maybe there are only few dollars but there are also tens or hundreds of dollars but it is still the same where they use what they can afford to use in gambling.
Management, regulation and restrictions are things that must be prioritized but not everyone can implement them, and it all depends on each gambler himself.
I sure that every responsible gambler can manage and wisely respond to gambling very well, when those who are married are aware of their responsibilities as husbands or fathers then they have the decision to be able to give the best to their family.
And even though they like gambling, if they have sense of responsibility, they will never be able to let go of their obligations as head of the household.

Not only that, in my opinion everything related to money certainly has a risk of losing money and indeed we have to be able to see the facts about whether the money that is risked will be lost. You have to pay attention to everything that goes into action, however, this is a game that involves money so there are definitely big risks, and we also have to be well disciplined. Well, to make a profitable decision, in my opinion there is nothing that can accurately be profitable, but what can be done is to minimize the big risks that could occur.

In my opinion, putting a small amount of money to bet is good, because in my opinion there is a budget limit for gambling where on the other hand there is good self-control by being able to risk only a small amount of money. The actions taken in gambling must be considered as carefully as possible, don't do it carelessly, don't consider the risks that will occur, such as what is wrong. It's easier to control money than emotions. It makes sense, but before that of course there must be good self-control in order to control the money at stake.

It could have been dangerous if you didn't know about it and had no realization, but since you know it and realize that it is a problem and it can get wilder in the future, you can take precautionary steps so that your problems don't get bigger over time but you manage to control it so that you don't spend a lot of money on your gambling activities and have a moderate amount whenever you gamble and don't go over your allocated budget.

In my opinion, your situation isn't that bad and you can easily control this before it becomes a fatal addiction and cause more issues for you and your life. Which is why it's important for any gambler to have realization when they are getting addicted and then control their addiction before it's too late.

Spending a few dollars isn't that the same as setting aside money for gambling? Setting aside money for gambling does not mean a large amount but rather an amount that you can afford to just enjoy the pleasure of gambling. And yes, every gambler must have a time limit and manage their money so that they don't gamble excessively and carelessly because this will have an impact on your financial stability, especially for people who are married, who of course have a bigger responsibility than just gambling.

I think this depends on the gambler himself because currently there are many people who are married who are still addicted, making the household disharmonious due to gambling addiction, but there are also, as you said, husbands who are still responsible for their family but still gamble and not becoming addicted, this completely depends on the person's thoughts who can judge for themselves what they should do and how to deal with it or who is ignorant and doesn't care about their family.

It will get wilder when you don't control yourself. If you're scared right now then you know yourself better and how it can go further.

With this knowing that you can be severe gambler although you're not at that point means only something big for you and you have to be aware of that.

Because if not, then the expected thing on how you'd gamble big since you've said that you are spending a lot of money as you gamble can end up worse.

Yes, I do have a little problem with gambling but it's not very fatal, because it's only occasionally when I spend a lot of money while playing, not often or rarely, but I'm afraid that in the future it will get wilder.

Well things are very different when it comes to the game, we must Always see that everything related to the game and what goes with the money is Something that can be seen differently, for example every thing we do in the casino, every dollar or something So, you have to get the idea that this can be lost, then you don't have to get too excited about things, for example, if I have 100usd, but it turns out that I can't spend all of it but a maximum of 20usd, because I only work and play for 20usd, but That should be the only thing I can spend, I should not get involved with more ideal because it would be going against my own rules, I would not have the discipline even to make and take a small decision, so in this order of ideas we must be very Emphatic people As for making decisions that lead us to do something in our favor, that is why we always need to focus on doing things better, otherwise I think nothing makes Sense.

To get rid of a problem that has been going on for many years, we have to consider that when making a move we must think about it well , or we can Spend everything, and the only way I have seen is as I say, only putting a small amount of money willing to lose , defiantly things will not be good.

Now, if we focus on Doing any type of thing that has to do with the game of casinos and control, it is easier to control money than emotions and even more so when there is a precedent, that is what should matter to us and what we should care about It should be Interesting, therefore when we play we should not be reckless people, we should not be people who have to do everything because they ran out of money or because they will not think or do what is right , that is why I have always said that The most important thing in Casinos is money , and that is what we Must correct the most to avoid losing.

When a person says to themselves: tomorrow I'm going to stop playing for a while, the morning comes and that person can't stop playing, they keep playing. the next day that person says to themselves that they will stop playing, but then starts playing again. so this person must start to worry a lot because this means that this person cannot stop playing even when he says he will stop playing or in other words this person is dependent on games and this does not just happen like gambling, I would say that There are a small number of people addicted to gambling, the biggest problem is alcoholic beverages and drugs, which are physical things, do not require technology and many people have easy access to these harmful substances. You've probably already seen people in your neighborhood and family drinking alcohol constantly.

If you see them drinking alcohol constantly, ask them if they can go 1 month without drinking alcohol, especially beer, if they say they can then tell them to test themselves without drinking alcohol for 30 days and during those 30 days Stay close to them with beer, wine or other drinks to see if they won't ask you and break their promise. If they break their promise then tell them that they are addicts and need urgent medical help. If they refuse, that's no longer your problem, you've done your best to help them. well, I gave these examples because regardless of whether the person keeps saying that they play little or sometimes

but when the person is tested to not play for a long time and the person refuses, then that person may also be addicted to games, it is important that the person is able to say to themselves: I can stop playing whenever I want. and manage to fulfill what she is saying. In any case, I hope you have your self control and make some of the people who can stop playing whenever they want. Games are not a problem, people become a problem when they abuse games

Of course gambling is closely related to gambling, and we should gamble using money, because if there is no money we will not be able to gamble. However, it is clear that losing at gambling is certain, and with that we must be able to control ourselves as best as possible so as not to fall deeper into gambling which can be detrimental to ourselves. and we should also do everything carefully and consider everything as best as possible.

Whatever money is used for gambling, it must be based on the readiness to lose it, so that addiction does not occur. because if we are addicted, of course we will experience many problems, the main one being financial problems. Many people's lives fall apart when they are addicted to gambling because they lose a lot of money, and in life of course we have to have money and if we lose a large amount of money then it is likely that we will be stressed, therefore gambling must be done carefully. , don't let gambling make us lose a lot of money, also before gambling we must understand the true meaning of gambling, with the fact that defeat is bound to happen and must be accepted well.

If we look at it, it has to do with money, it is extremely delicate, I personally have always said that before doing anything with money you have to think very carefully, because things are tough when you lose money, In fact, there are many topics in the forum where it is said that some people change because they have money, or some act in a different and very aggressive way when they lose money, so this is the only thing we have to understand, and since this is so delicate, we can We must do things with great care, in fact when we are concerned with making any type of movement it is something delicate, that is why when we are in a casino we must always consider doing things well, without any kind of trouble, when We gamble in caisno is better than the money we allocate to gamble, that money is lost, because it is not good to get excited and then suffer disappointments.

I have seen how many newbies start doing things and start to get excited in front of a casino saying that they have, let's say 200usd, and that will take them to $20k and that is something that has to be a mistake that most newbies think, if you have 200usd and If they take around 300usd, wow that's a big win, at least that's what I think when it comes to these things, I will always say that when you are in a casino you have to see things in the most real way in the world. Well, first of all, if I stick to thinking that what I have of money I only see and allocate to a casino, well that's that person's fault, maybe they have more money to cover all their needs, it's up to me to play. Responsibility starts before playing when it becomes clear how much money you have to spend, these are the things that make a player tougher, make him know what he is getting into and not fall into addictions.

The gambler should fix their mind to play the gambling with the portion of their income.But some gamblers will play the gambling with the full money earned from their job.The earning money is not the big things,make the money from the income was the big thing.This can be achieved with the gambling site,but risking the full money is not the good option.Some gambling addicted person will keep repeat of their mistakes because of loss of their mental health because of their financial condition.The gamblers should make the big winning to get recover from the gambling site.

The gambling addicted person should understand he had a family which depends on him for their basic needs and the money for their medical expenses.If the market in bull run,the gamblers will have more money for the further games in the gambling site.

From what I can see it looks like you have a good understanding of gambling and that understanding makes you have a good approach to gambling which in turn makes you stay fine until now without experiencing any problems as a result of gambling, that's good and one thing, I hope you can maintain this understanding along with this approach in the long run, and maybe on the other hand my other message and advice is that I hope you maintain or even increase the awareness that is in you when you are gambling, no matter how infrequently you gamble, you really need to be strict with your mindfulness because as is often the case, a gambler can experience a change in mindset and perspective when they are fooled by curiosity as a result of seeing something tantalizing happening in one of your sessions, so with a weak level of mindfulness it is possible for you to experience a change in approach that could potentially lead to you becoming aggressive in gambling.

I don't even set aside a portion of my earnings for it but I just spend a few bucks on it whenever I feel like spending some time gambling, and I know my limits and when I need to stop. I don't just start gambling and then keep gambling until I empty my account balance, that is irresponsible behaviour as a person, especially if you are a family person and have a family to take care of.

I believe that a person who has a family to feed can never become a gambling addict because they need to always have this thing in their minds that they are not alone in this world and if they spend all their money and time on gambling, they won't have any of it for their family and it's their responsibility to take care of them.
