Everything is true, but it isn't a pleasure. It is a discomfort of feeling emptied. The addiction is not a result of winning, but the hope of recovering the losses. Myself an addicted gambler doesn't go into gambling to win big, but to recover what I've lost. The mind always say, if I recover all the spending I can be debt free. This is the major thing that runs in my mind when I get into gambling. Same as this different users will have something associated that keeps them to gamble with the hope of recovering their losses and lost happiness.
This is very common, once people make the realization of how much money they have lost over the years they have a desire to get it back, this is a bad idea because as we know the casinos have an edge over the player, if you think you are getting addicted to gambling then the best thing to do is to stop immediately and just accept your losses, taking a path different than that one will only make things even harder for the player as he losses even more money in the process of trying to get it back.
If you don't expect to win big at gambling, then you can't recover what you've lost. Both are the same thing I think, because when gambling has a high target like that at least we will gamble under pressure which will certainly disturb your mind. So, just let the previous events slip by, because if we still want to gamble we just have to enjoy it and let go of it when betting it is very possible that in the end you may unconsciously recover what you have lost.

Just the same with gambling, doing all the necessarry preparation mostly with your emotions are vey important. If you know how to control the chances of losing huge amount of money is slim, remember that the risk is high so never to follow your emotions each time you play.

Limit and never to exceed with your plan budget, both gambling and trading will go smoothly if you plan ahead of time. The amount of stake should always refer to your limitations, money that you can afford to lose is what you need to use when you engage yourself either with gambling or investing thru trading.
That will need practice and time before we can manage our emotions and all the things because even the veterans also need time to do that. When we can control ourselves, we can prevent losing a huge amount of money because losing big money will not be right.

The important thing that we must remember is only to use the money we can afford to lose and never break that limitation because that can be the way for you to lose all of the money. It will help you more if you can control yourself thru gambling.

Controlling your emotions takes a long time to acheived, practice and more on limiting your stay inside the gambling house, doing this from time to time will lessen our desire to keep pushing for more, Most of the time those who lose a lot are people who keeps trying to win in a much quicker ways.

But for most experienced gamblers who already surpassed this kind of situations, they are well organized and they know their limitations, they know when to stop and chill out whether they win or lose they are good and aiming for the next day of try.

There's no rushing as house got a huge bankroll, either accept slight portions or keep aiming to have a big one and lose your bankroll.. Grin Roll Eyes
Even if controlling emotions takes a long time to achieve, a gambler needs to learn it. Otherwise, they will not have something that will help them enjoy gambling games instead of losing money. There is no other way to win more quickly because gambling games need luck and not many of them will get their luck comes to them at the right time.

Yes, the experienced gamblers will always control themselves in gambling, they will play gambling like other gamblers but the difference is they know that gambling is just a way to have fun, and they do not have to try hard if they do not see the chance to win.

That is a very typical fallacy which I also observed in real life. People cross off numbers in roulette that just showed up believing that only because they just showed up, they can't show up again anytime soon.

Everyone with basic knowledge in statistics knows that if the 30 shows up this round, the probability that it shows up next round is the same as long as the events are considered to be independent.

Funny how they cross off these numbers while it makes no sense. Same with red and black whereas that is kind of a dependent event if you put your money on black and red shows up 15 times in a row. That probability is extremely low, but if it happens you are most likely broke.
Well, they are taking into account the past records, and basing off the possibilities of what they could based on those. It isn't necessarily wrong, but I think it was a misplaced notion, especially in gambling where all chances are reset to zero when a new game starts. Still, with that, they aren't able to find anything to base their bets upon, and betting solely based on luck at times isn't really what they want, so they instead base it on past numbers that showed up. It is still a valid statistic, just that it's in no way proof that the same number would pop up. They probably just use it solely for increasing their confidence levels with regards to their bet.

It is absolutely completely totally wrong, those are independent events unless you bet that a number comes twice in a row, but that is totally different from betting on a number in round 2 even if that number showed up in round 1. If in round 1 the number 5 in roulette showed up, what is the probability that the number 5 shows up in round 2? The same, exactly: 1/36. If you say that you bet on the 5 showing up 2 rounds in a row, the probability is 1/36 * 1/36.

Gambling doesn't hook me that easilly though I have to be quite alert with phone and social media, if I'm not disciplined I could spend hours on the screen...
Usually most gamblers getting hooked because of long lasting boredom so if you are having any other alternative entertaining resources then the possibility of getting into gambling screen for more hours will get reduced significantly. People are getting stuck with gambling because of they are finding it interesting; if you are deviating your focus into something else then you can escape from gambling very easily.

When we are conscious about having limit on of our each of entertainment things, then we can easily limit everything given that we need to have multiple entertaining resources.

I limit my gambling time after the lockdown of COVID-19, during the lockdown I gamble most of the time to make myself relax as there was no physical job, but after the lockdown, I have to reduce the time I gamble to 1 hour every day and that is after the close of work.

interesting comment BTCLiz and it makes sense indeed
it has a lot to do on how each brain deals with dopamine, I suppose.

I have never played online gambling because I have no expertise in online gambling, and I also really don't want to try it even though it seems easy or simple because I am afraid of being addicted.
I prefer traditional gambling and playing with friends and betting small amounts of money and all of that just for fun, and playing when there is time to hang out because we already have our own busy lives and play just for fun.
I prefer to use Kritpo for long-term investments because I don't want my coins to just disappear, and long-term investments are definitely profitable.

One of the few non gamblers here on the forum. Kudos to you, I could never stay away from gambling. I think if you have every gambled in a real physical casinos than the jump to online gambling is not that big. Espeically now during the pandemic makes meeting friends and hanging out gambling very difficult. Gambling is a nice way to relax in the evening, especially playing some poker while listening to music is great to forget the stress of the day. I prefer long term investment too, but when prices are falling we can make back some of our losses by gambling.

for me the thing with gambling is that it simply doesn't hook me
even though it has unpredictable outcames, most of the times I simply get bored out of it and feel like I'm simply paying the house for some kind of thing that was supposed to give me pleasure but don't do it...
I suppose it really depends on both your genetics and your life circumstances if gambling gives you pleasure. If you are in a (sad) situation where you lost your wife and children ina car crash the likelihood of gambling giving pleasure is higher in my opinion.

Quick from gambling like you want to stop for smoking, I know many people hard how can stop for smoking but try slowly day by day, maybe with increase limit your gambling fund maybe from 100$ become 40$ until you can left gambling forever. If left directly maybe is not worth like not have any smoker can left for smoking just one day they need time and progress how to stop all it.
Yes, reducing the gambling funds can help us to stop gambling slowly without we can realize. If we can do that for some time while trying to do something else that can distract our mind from thinking about gambling, it will be the way for us to decrease gambling activity. Stopping the gambling activity needs time and effort and that will depend on us how we can still do that for our own good.

Just the same with gambling, doing all the necessarry preparation mostly with your emotions are vey important. If you know how to control the chances of losing huge amount of money is slim, remember that the risk is high so never to follow your emotions each time you play.

This is about how do you make sure that you are gambling in full control. There are many people who are easily brought into gambling beyond fun and that is a problem for them and also for the gambling industry, because it is for them that there are limitations in many countries.

Do you actually...
- Have a weekly budget to play and do not ever go over it?
- Not ever get in debt for gambling?
- Have an allocated time for gambling and never exceed it?
- Gamble only socially with friends of relatives?
- Have someone helping you control your gambling?
n’t forget to enjoy yourself, and winning will come as a bonus.

We shouldn’t take gambling too seriously. It’s a stress reliever and out to get treated as a fun activity. The ability to know when to call it quits when you win or lose a bet is paramount. However, to avoid unexpected problems, you must allocate a certain amount towards betting. Also sticking to the limits that you set will enable you to enjoy any gambling game without diving into much trouble. As a responsible gambler, you should never gamble what you can’t afford to lose.

In trading and investing, there are also some factors beyond our control that can cause serious losses of funds. Such factors include a sharp fall in the price of the asset being invested, a sharp reduction in liquidity, hacking, scams, etc.

Trading and investing are high risk activities and if you invest in low risk assets your returns will be small. 
We can prevent scams and hacking by always be careful to take care of our investment. We can also manage the risk of reducing what can happen to the investment by learning more about losing funds.

If we can learn more about that and always be careful, everything will be under control, and we do not have to worry about the worst thing. Before we invest or trade, we need to have more information and skills to know what we need to do and how to prevent the bad thing.

Just the same with gambling, doing all the necessarry preparation mostly with your emotions are vey important. If you know how to control the chances of losing huge amount of money is slim, remember that the risk is high so never to follow your emotions each time you play.

The view point is one sided and you don't know what can be happened in gambling even after knowing about it from here. It is not likely wasted your time a lot where you spend a lot of time in trading or crypto research. By the way, its all about your decision what you will do. But you can try atleast to see what is there is the other side which is gambling.
You wont really get addicted if you are really aware on what you are doing but if you do find yourself to be that impulsive or be that emotional then its better to avoid it
while you can but actually it isnt really bad to test it out for the sake of cursioity or does really need to answer something which comes into your mind but be sure
that you dont make yourself addicted with just few tries.There are really people whom do easily hooked up thats why we should really be careful.
For those who dont want to lose money then gambling isnt for you but if you do mind on paying for the sake of entertainment then it isnt
bad to try or test it out.
Gambling is completely one of my entertainment for me because I can't want to addict on it and there is a huge chances of losing money where it is also easy to earn too. I am always careful for protecting my funds and always try to increase it. Hopefully everyone wants this. That's why, I just spend very little amount for gambling just for enjoying some moments with sports.

I am not actually a full time gambler but I gamble if I have time or if my relatives ask me to play. I also do not gamble online because I do not know how. As a gambler I think we should have the right budget and limited time for it. We must not use the money which is intended for our everyday needs so if we do not have money, we need to learn how to stop and having debt just to play is not a good practice at all. Gambling is not bad but too much gambling is. I know there are people who win big in gambling and so some of them become rich. For me they become rich because they know how to control the risk in gambling.

More than one months I have stop with gambling and never take my time for seeing match football to betting, I think enough with how much money gone by gambling and better use my money for trading or investing. Better hold and save your money and never use again for betting because is not good for your financial way.

Not all people can give up gambling completely because they enjoy it. The most important thing is to learn to control yourself and it does not matter if you control the bankroll or the game time. In my opinion, trading as well as gambling carries high risks of losing money, but investing is a more intelligent approach to one's finances.
Maybe it is difficult to stop right away from gambling but we can try to stop gambling slowly so that it will not feel difficult. Maybe we can reduce the time to gamble and reduce the money because that is how to prevent from playing gambling for a long time. Learning to control yourself will be important and that needs an effort to do that and that will need time to succeed in controlling yourself. Trading and investment will have its risk but we can manage the risk not become bigger.

In my opinion, trading as well as gambling carries high risks of losing money, but investing is a more intelligent approach to one's finances.
in gambling there are only two possibilities that occur, namely winning or losing, and this will also affect the consideration of whether we will still return to gambling or decide to stop playing because I think gambling is like someone who is addicted to drugs, because indeed the sensation of feeling tense while waiting the result of winning or losing when gambling becomes a pleasure for the player so that usually he will forget about the disadvantage and bad effects that might happen to him.
Everything is true, but it isn't a pleasure. It is a discomfort of feeling emptied. The addiction is not a result of winning, but the hope of recovering the losses. Myself an addicted gambler doesn't go into gambling to win big, but to recover what I've lost. The mind always say, if I recover all the spending I can be debt free. This is the major thing that runs in my mind when I get into gambling. Same as this different users will have something associated that keeps them to gamble with the hope of recovering their losses and lost happiness.
