Topic: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? - page 6. (Read 2165 times)

It shock me to see that some people always have gambling problem how and why did they ever develop this problems for themselves without them realizing when they have gone worse in this problems they are currently facing now. To me I don't have any gambling problems and I won't ever have any because I planning and managing myself properly without allowing any of these to allow me go into being addicted of whatever or even being too open for a particular thing to affect my life, I always remain neutral in general life issues because whatever you takes things so serious those things would be there while you are no place to be found then, why on earth do I get myself disturbed over things I know would still remain here on earth while I will be no place to be found.

before when I was have a Little bit love in gambling then it will affect my finance and also the relationship between me and my wife cause Before everyweek I gamble 4 times or even 5 times and that's  the reason why my money won't long last. But i won't regret it cause I know it's a good experience in mylife I say it good cause I'll over come myself and get out of those world.  Anyway I am in gambling nowadays but I can control myself and maybe once week or  worst twice a month if I am too busy.

You're having fun, not becoming a billionaire. I chuck in a bit here and there believing money may leave. Its for the thrills, chuckles, and "what if".

Self-discipline is your best friend. Set boundaries like, "This is my play money, and Im cool if it grows wings." Maintaining a light, enjoyable tone transforms gambling into responsible adventure. The experience matters, not the exit.

Lets be sophisticated and lively, fun-seekers. Remember, we're in it for the tales, excitement, and "I knew it was a long shot, but imagine if..." Smart, entertaining, and most importantly, fun. Happy dice and wheel rolling! May they always bring more smiles than frowns!

This is a nice advise and we need to be very careful how we spend our money for gambling. Gambling can be very addictive if we don't stay somehow strict about the way we bet. We can make money for betting but until we do it in the right way. There are people that had been gambling for a very long time and we all have to settle down and  do things in a way that can be profitable but not something illegal. If we have plans of betting maybe with some of the funds we have, we can decide to split the money into 4 place and bey with one. If we are unlucky to make winnings with the fund, we can take a other one and bet untill we start making profits for ourselves. This is an easy way we can go about it.

Setting limits and having discipline are things that are very necessary when playing gambling so that we can prevent big losses. We cannot take too big a risk with limited money. We must know that in gambling, many problems may be difficult to solve if we are not willing to open ourselves to accepting the results we get from gambling. If we can have the two things above, we can use gambling as something that entertains us. Once we feel we have had enough, we will immediately stop gambling activities to continue with other activities. By understanding that these two things really help us when playing gambling, we will not experience problems that can arise at any time when we gamble.

When someone has involved quite a large amount of money in betting, their goal may not just be entertainment but to be able to make a profit more than their initial capital, but when people do not expect income from gambling, they only use a small amount of money to gamble and can limit their expenses so that they do not experience big losses and they can accept these losses without having to chase losses which will ultimately lead to new problems due to chasing losses.

It is absolutely true that this is a role that gamblers should play so as not to exceed the limits of their abilities and with discipline and self-control a person will use gambling wisely and responsibly so that they do not have problem in their gambling and always consider gambling to be an entertainment game even though it involves money.

I would categorize myself as definitely not having a gambling problem.  I guess the major difference of whether or not people have a problem is if they lose large amounts of money or not.  I don't typically bet large amounts, but I also make pretty safe bets so I never find myself in a position of regret.  I even enjoy gambling conversations I have with others as much as actually gambling, so I think I have a healthy relationship with gambling and hope it stays that way.

Hold on. The discussion seeks to find common or mutua struggles we, gamblers, are having but manages to handle it still for years. Don't get too carried away and jump to addiction already. Most likely, we do have such thing for example is being greedy when we are winning or feeling frustrated from continuous loss. These things are normal but will still be referred to as challenges we are facing simply because those things are unwanted. What can we do then? continue controlling oneself to avoid being too driven by those challenges, until you fully remove it from your gambling habit or experience. But don't get me wrong, all of those things you guys have mentioned could and would really help a gambler avoid addiction or just be problematic in gambling.

Setting a limit and imposing discipline to oneself whenever you are gambling would already be a huge help. No matter what strategy we use, things will never be guaranteed in gambling. Research, analysis, speculations indeed helps us to lessen the chances of losing but if you are just lacking  the luck to win, you'd lose for sure. That's just how gambling works and with the same reason that it is better to have a preventive approach than aggressive of winning, especially in the long run of your gambling  caareer.

Yeah setting aside a certain amount of money for betting every day and keeping a small portion of the money aside for betting will have no chance of risking at work because it will not be connected to the use of money in daily life. It is difficult to protect yourself when you become greedy and have to control yourself with a small amount of use. There are many different gambling opportunities out there and you shouldn't jump into investing without doing some research and getting some strategy. Casinos want you to part with your money while gambling.

But individual gamblers like to be more independent, they think they don't have too serious problems that they can't manage, by convincing themselves in their minds, they ignore the hidden possibilities and suddenly the problems that have accumulated over the years begin to set in motion a harsh regime, problems followed problems and direction was no longer with the inherent management. Too many people are ashamed to admit their failures to their gambling demons, it's normal to need help from professionals and family, let go of your pride and heal yourself.

NO, I have been gambling for more than 10 years and I have never experienced a big problem because of it.
I try to control my gambling habit as much as I can so I can avoid negative effects from this habit.

Nothing, I can stop anytime I wish and I can stay away for a period of time as I wish.
I do not need to have other activities in order to stop gambling so I have to say it is not a problem for me to stop.

No, I don't have such an issue. I've always known that gambling is not child's play and not a place to earn my living and financial freedom, so this has been helping me by preserving my mindset against what most people who are affected believe about it.

I don't have that issue, all I know is that I play well with my casino section of gambling but with a small amount of money, while with the sports betting that I risk higher with, I make sure that I play with wisdom and smartness. I have good account management, so there is nothing to regret here. This is made better possible because I don't depend on it.

To stop gambling perhaps due to addiction and some excessive losses, I think that Willpower is the answer here. This thing is psychological and you need the Willpower to say No. However, if you can't say no successfully by yourself, you might want to seek external help. But drinking, exercising, swearing and all that might not have the permanent solution you seek.

That's exactly what you need to do when you already tried all cause to change your life for good and other's tips are also not working for you. It makes it more hard when you don't want to pursue the expert way and ask them for help because that might your last resort to change your life. Others has been healed well when they make that right decision, and continue to live their life to the fullest by not getting back to their old bad habits.

I think that everyone basically knows that in theory yet exactly almost everyone has big problems applying this to their gambling sessions.The reason is simple and that is that emotions cannot be controlled and emotions can lead to all type of rushed decisions which usually boils down in most cases to chasing loses and that can bring even bigger loses.That is the reason casinos continue to exist,they exist because people have emotions and as long many of them will be led by emotions this will continue to be.

Yes, human greed is the strongest factor in gambling, thanks to this, the gambling industry has so much money. As soon as players come to self-discipline, their losses decrease and the excitement goes away. A popular mistake of players is to bet large amounts and after losing they try to win back and after that they lose a large amount again, The best option is to play only for the amount that you don’t mind losing and enjoy the game and be psychologically prepared for losing and treat it more simply, then there will definitely be no problems.

Before turning to professionals, you can try to solve the problem on your own, because achieving a goal motivates a person to take further steps to improve his or her life. I believe that almost every person has the strength to cope with any addiction - you just need a desire. I myself was able to get rid of alcohol, smoking tobacco, so I am sure that if gambling brought me problems I would be able to get rid of this addiction. Fortunately I gamble for fun.

Seeking professional help may be the last resort for those who want to cure their gambling addiction because, after all, they need a solution that has often been done to other gamblers. Professional medical personnel have often treated people who are addicted to gambling or other things, so they can use many methods that are suitable for use by every gambler who is addicted to gambling. But we should be able to control ourselves when gambling so that we don't experience any problems and don't become addicted to gambling. That will be more meaningful than having to visit a professional because that will cost a lot of money.

You ended up with a good approach. Years later, I began to perceive the game the same way. I like to bet even a small bet that won't cause me much disappointment if I lose. And if I win, she will make me happy, probably this is what I need for me. To be honest, it’s scary for me to remember myself when I placed big bets, it feels like it wasn’t me who did it and someone was controlling my mind, and it was so strong that I was helpless in front of it. I wanted to win back no matter what, I wanted to run out of the house and quickly borrow money from my friends to stay in the game. Now I don't have that old habit and I'm very happy about it. And I don’t have to stay in the game, I have other interests in life that can captivate me with greater force and there is no need to risk my money. I would like to give advice to the rest - rethink your life a little.

You're correct, when you start gambling for entertainment and not solely for making money you would be alot happier when you're gambling. Gambling for engagement makes you to enjoy yourself regardless of how the game turns out. Some gamblers don't care about the entertainment part of gambling, they're just gambling as they want to make some money so they can get something to eat. They depend on gambling for everything and this is a wrong way of gambling.

When you can control your greed by being disciplined and having self control, you can control any situation you find yourself in and enjoy gambling without suffering any addiction problems. Many gambling has a problem that they're struggling with but being able to control the situation that's what makes the difference and differential addicted gamblers from the regular gambler that's only gambling for entertainment.

you really need to seek professional help if the things that you did, doesn't go on your way because it means your addiction is getting worse. Seeking for assistance and advices to medical professionals is very helpful to those person who really wants to lessen their obsession in gambling, but not only because of the help of professionals so that you can get better, you must also persevere in helping yourself. It will also help more if you have a guide from your families, because they are one of the ones who can really put you at ease to overcome your situation.
