Topic: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? - page 5. (Read 2143 times)

Gambling requires mental skill, not luck. You've exhibited self-control few have. That's mastering the game, not just playing. Your best bet in this world of chance and danger is yourself. Many can't change without outside help, but you can. Not the cards you're dealt, but how you play them. You have a winning hand, friend

Healthy gaming is a guideline, not an oxymoron. Know when to say 'enough,' and realize the true gamble is with yourself, not your wallet. It's acknowledging that every wager has a cost, sometimes non-monetary. This is your life story, not just gambling. You overcame a challenge and changed your perspective. That's the lesson. Playing and betting frequently aren't important. Knowing that keeping your life, relationships, and sanity intact is the biggest win

That makes you sensible and responsible, and I give you the kudos for the ability to be able to change a new leaf despite not being advised by anyone, at least you never mentioned that, not even your wife's help in achieving that. But you saw the need for a better change and you go for it, that makes a good gambler. Gambling is not a do-or-die affair and as a matter of fact, it is never a must, you do your bit and leave the rest, and you can come back another time if you have the time to continue to try your luck at the same time, and it goes on like that. But most importantly, if you are such who knows that you gamble too much and you waste money too much, it is best that you limit it. It can't be wise for you to continue to gamble and waste money. You may limit it by gambling with a lower amount if you know you would like to gamble many times in a short space of time, or you limit the number of times you are gambling all the same. These are important to keep us in check and financial health so that gambling will not bring the worst out of us if care is not taken.

Imagine, it had caused issues between you and your wife, that is the worst side I do not always like to read from any gambler, but this one actually has a happy ending. Good luck!

That is what we must always do, have money if we are willing to lose, in this order of ideas we always under any circumstance if we must try to avoid any event where we Lose a lot of money , in Addiction when it occurs many fail things, first the player's Budget fails and secondly when that adjustment is made in the first Instance the player Always Wants to win and win , he Doesn't Want to lose Anything if he doesn't win because he tries to hold on to things so that he can do it, so in this order With ideas you can do a lot of Things , but you can make a lot of Mistakes When you have the game at its maximum Expression , it encourages you to put in money , if you lose it Doesn't Matter to you , you just put in more money to win , and that's where you can make a lot of Mstakes In one , first put money when you spent Suicide , then try to recover the Money you lost by Putting more money in the casino, those are things that should not be done anymore.

When a person makes many mistakes in a row, you can say that this is what Makes them go wrong in everything because Basically when they do wrong this goes wrong in almost everything they do, and when you have a Large Capital and it is Spent , then the Problems get Worse , how do you Get your money back ? the Only way for people to choose to take loans and that is already a fissure in the particular financial system, because it is an expense that Should not be made , that Should not be taken, so in this order of ideas things should be done better every Once something can be Generated ,  then considering these things, we can easily Generate many Things so that we have something to gain, if we Manage what we can generate at any Moment we would have to do many things, for Example I am a person who from the first The moment that goes to a casino is Ordered with the money , and then if possible it is ordered in the playing memory so you Enjoy more and you know very well what you are doing, it is like playing Intelligently.

In my opinion, someone who is addicted to gambling will not realize themselves that they are addicted to gambling. Because they only think of the winnings in gambling but that right is certainly not easy to get, the factor that they become addicted in my opinion is because they do not see the disadvantages and risks in gambling. until they experience addiction that they do not realize, those who will judge them addicted are other people such as their own friends.

Most people do gamble by force, even though they don't have money but they still force themselves to continue gambling. Basically, we should deposit the money that we can afford and are willing to lose. But the fact is that they gamble with money that they are not willing to lose until they lose a lot of money.

Yeah right. Addiction is not something you will recognized by yourself or else you will not be addicted since everyone knew that addiction can only harm someone. The amount of entertainment and satisfaction usually the culprit on why addicted never notice it by themselves.

Slowing down gradually doesn’t make sense since it’s very hard to notice when do you need to slow down. This is the downside on gambling which is you will never know if you are still good or not unless you already have money to gamble anymore. This why everyone should only deposit what we can afford so that it will still okay if you lose your balance even if you are showing addiction because this way the amount of your losses is already controlled before your mind becomes cloudy due to gambling.

Most gambling addicts will not realize that they have a gambling addiction. They just feel that they are visiting casinos more often but they don't know that it is a gambling addiction. They need other people to be able to recognize and explain that it is a gambling addiction and they need to cure it as soon as possible before it is too late. But when they feel they have a gambling problem, such as spending too much money or starting to gamble too often, they should try to reduce their gambling activities before it is too late to realize it. It would be good if they could realize that there was a problem they were facing in gambling so they could immediately ask people close to them for help.

You are right sometimes it's out of mind and they felt they are still in range of maintaining and a good gambling behavior without know they have gone worst of the situation why because of how life challenges and hardship has engulfed them and can no longer holds themselves any longer. So some of them don't care about the risk that is involved anymore but what they care about is for them to make winning and change their ways of living.

I don’t have a gambling habit. If you’re addicted and you feel it’s time to stop. The first thing you need to know is that it will not be possible to just automatically stop. You have to gradually reduce the time and amount you spend over time before finally stopping. That is a more realistic way to stop. As you reduce the time and amount you spend, you can engage yourself in other activities to help you too.

The gambler who made the continuous loss will get more temptation to play the game,because they like to withdraw the funds from the loss.The loss of the money in the gambling site will be in the mind of the gamblers.So they keep do the gambling with all the money they received from all the income sources.Untill they made the good and proper strategies they won’t achieve the target to the gamblers.The responsibility was the key for the gamblers successful in the gambling.Because the gamblers should accept the loss in the gambling site.If the loss is happened,the same gamblers get win from the same gambling site.

Learning from this experience now makes you even a better person than you would know because the gambling activities will no longer be a big deal to you because you have had an experience with it and it's no more something that you will be excited about, you now have better control over your self and there will be a better level of discipline aswell too.

Sometimes for some persons it's better they learn from experience because if they learn from other people they seem not to take it seriously as they would when they have got a first hand experience so it's usually better for such people to have an experience so when they meet such situations again they will know how best to tackle it. It's best to learn from other peoples experience because it will go a long way to teach you that which you know without having to really make the mistakes others made.

It seems that it will be a better choice when you are already too much of a gambling addict.
You need to come to your senses early before going too deeper.
With some physical activity or sports that will give you a more positive mind.

If people who gamble too much, I doubt they will be aware of the responsibility, they get too carried away with gambling and always want big wins.
There is no control on gambling that is done thus making many consequences and greater losses.

But actually when you do gambling, but it doesn't interfere with other activities it doesn't matter.
Gambling is only used as entertainment or even a hobby but does not have a negative effect.
Those who are too addicted because they expect to keep winning every time they play, when there will be no definite victory.

The refusal to accept is what that has landed many people to where they are now because they refused to accept that fact that gambling is a game of probability and not a game of masters or professionals. Someone who doesn't gamble regularly could hit a life change opportunity while those who has been gambling so long would still be there dangling in just a spot without making progress that is why whenever you gamble and you think you don't longer make profits or even finds it difficulty to win I will advise you should distance for some months before resuming back otherwise when continuing gambling it could lead to addictions where it will be beyond control.

Bitcointalk is the only place I have ever seen anyone use the term Revenge gambling. When money is your sole motivation to gamble, it’s pretty difficult to accept that you are not going to win it all. It begs the question of which is more likely to become a gambling addict; Someone who gambles for fun or someone who gambles for profit.

Nursing a gambling problem is not a good thing one should pray for because it will deprive you from having fun in gambling than being faced by what you're battling with at the cause, this is one of the reasons why it is very important to gamble with caution and responsibly, because at the end of the day, everything is for our own advantage, we must not be too carried away, we have to be mindful of how we are gambling, take good measures to control and guide the affairs related to it and considers the consequences in everything we do for better.

Firstly, I don't have a problem with gambling which damages my relationships with my family, finances or otherwise, the gambling I do now is not because of my income, I will gamble if I have more money than I earn (I still control gambling)

secondly, if I really have to stop gambling, maybe I will do physical activity, or rather activities that are positive for building business in particular

First question, if I may ask how does this addiction work for few people, anytime I keep facing challenges with something I will prefer to quit, it's always best to quit before it's too late.
Second question, if this act has turned to an addiction then it's too late or rather the person is willing to change, the idea of getting busy with work can stop this act, a jobless person should find something doing and get busy with the work, in essence keep yourself and mind out from gambling and focus more on work. There's no solution to gambling addiction but I have seen people who escaped from such and each time I ask they'll always respond with build your mind, so I think the mind really play a big role in humans mostly the ability to resist an act.

We can have passion to gamble for years but we need to always try to control our passion for gambling. I had been gambling for years now and I can still control the way I gamble. I can likewise determine when to bet and when not to bet even when I have sure games that could make me earn faster in betting. It is good when we can be strict at gambling decisions that would not hurt about activities to become a better person as gambler. Discipline is one of the way we can be strict and stay less risky to gambling addiction which had been a major problem to most gamblers. Risk management is a sole way to keep betting without taking too much risk to earn more.

This is where they are getting it wrongly because when they takes it so serious then it turns to worst why, because whenever they gambles and it happens that they lost then they think revenge gambling is the best and even when they knew is a revenge gambling they would still push hard to make sure to recover what they have lost previously without knowing they are gradually sinking in lost and addiction. To me what I take is  when I mapped out a particular amount for gambling and i finally exhaust that same amount i say goodbye to the gambling site why because whenever you hang around the site you could be tempted to funds your account whereby you are going against your plan and budget for the week and months per say, so when they gamble and lost they should accept it with good fate and leave the gambling site or casino hall.

Problems caused by gambling do not occur accidentally, but problems in gambling occur because of the gambler own mistakes, who are unable to control themselves and are unable to have the right attitude or mindset.
Just look at gamblers who already have wise attitude and have the right mindset still often get into problems or make mistakes, so what about those who just gamble carelessly.
Excessive ambition and goals often make gamblers ignore warnings that they should be careful and excessive ambition and goals have made gamblers blind to risks or consequences that might make things difficult for them.
This is reality that still happens so often that it is easy for gamblers to do, but after all, only the gamblers themselves can solve it and change everything.

For example, you yourself are gambler but are able to differentiate between good and bad for future results, this is an effort in condition that can remain safe in the long term.
You can do it, but it not certain that other gamblers will have the same point of view as you, and all because their ambitions and goals are different from us gamblers who can still consider all the risks involved.

Why are many people who have problems with gambling because they take everything that happens in their gambling too seriously, so they can't respond normally, for example, when they win they think they can always get it and if they lose they always think about how to recover the money they have lost because of that loss, or when you lose, you think because you made a mistake and try to correct it and gamble again with bigger funds, as well as when there are gamblers who consider gambling as fun, they will continue to gamble when they feel they need fun without checking how much money they have just spent to get pleasure and it turns out that it has exceeded the limits of their abilities, that's why gamblers always have limits and are determined to apply those limits no matter how big the temptation is, it should be the limits that they will apply, not lose to temptation.
