Actually in this condition I quite don't understand how the category of addicts in this case is even though we can control our condition in gambling and don't feel anything when we lose because we realize that it's a risk but that doesn't mean we are not addicts when we do it repeatedly.
The addict's condition is to do it regularly, it doesn't matter if it's big or small in gambling, but as long as I'm still gambling, I still think it's an addict and I'm like that too. Regardless of being disturbed or not in financial condition as long as you are still gambling, it means that we are all addicts.

Addiction is a gradual process. So, for example if you gamble once in a while, say once every couple of years, then it would be safe to say you are not addicted to gambling.

Same with alcohol for example. If you just drink alcohol at a few events where they serve it, say weddings, etc, then of course you are not addicted. But if you plan your life around alcohol, then yes, you are addicted.

Same with gambling, if you start planning around it, then you're probably addicted to it.

Gambling is very risky if you want to gamble use an extra money and gamble that you can afford to lose. You may be able to play with your own and make sure that you are not getting addicted to it. Because once you get been addicted in that game you will be able to lose all your money.

It is true that when betting you have to be prepared to lose your money. But it's quite difficult to be able to bet without addiction, that's because of human nature, namely greed where when they lose something they will try to get it back. Therefore most people are trapped in this vicious circle. In fact, if they can manage their finances and bet according to their abilities, they can earn money from their games and many people have proven this.

The most control for me is betting smaller amounts and being able to afford to lose after that avoid thinking about a big win.
It's easy for me to avoid addiction like that it's just that everyone has different thoughts.
Especially slot gambling, if you can't control it all, you will get addicted quickly.

the problem of addiction and especially in slot games is quite easy if as long as you are not yet a gambling addict try to set your mind pattern. I mean addiction comes from a mindset like believing from slot games to get big multipliers and get a lot of money, that is a very serious mistake and must be removed from the mindset and think more about slot games as a place of entertainment.
secondly, set a budget before playing slot games and choose from providers that are more economical or games that have a lower minimum amount such as the Booming Game provider.
so that when you use a small budget that is planned to be ready to lose, everything will be fine and you won't feel disappointed when you lose and avoid addiction.

While that is a good advice I think that the very first thing someone should do if they feel as if they are losing control of their ability to restrain themselves is to stop gambling completely, they need to do this for a few months and once they finally believe they have regained that strength then they can follow your advice and place strict limits on their gambling activity, if they do this then the possibility they will even get close to become an addict will be very low.

It may sound easy but it isn't, you can't stay away from something that you like for so long no matter what. Others may say that you can do it and it is very easy but you are the only one who understands that you can't do it, so if someone has got even a little bit addicted to gambling, they won't be able to keep themselves away for months.

One should have a limit from the start so that they don't get addicted, and even if they get a little bit addicted, they should have a limited budget and shouldn't give themselves access to more funds so that they don't gamble away a lot of money in a certain period of time.

It is true is not easy but at the same time it has to be done, humans have to do all kind of things we do not like and yet we still do them, an example of this is exercise, I do not like exercising at all and I hate that feeling of fatigue I get after it, but I still do it because I know it is a good thing for my long term health, then if someone is experimenting some gambling issues, as hard as it could be to remain away from casinos they have to do it, as it is the best thing for them to do at that moment.

It is indeed the irony of life, when on the normal, people are supposed to find it easier to stay aways from gambling casinos, but still baffles me how addiction turns the table around, and make things that are easier to do much difficult, and then make things that are harder/difficult to do much more easier.

For me, it takes me much time to decide to gamble, even when I have the hunger for it, I still can only gamble on a day or week I have extra money possibly due to less expenses and all that..

And that example of exercising, that's so true, it pretty amuses me how we tend to find it easier to do things that are not important for our well being, compare to things are will keep us in good health mentally and physically.

There are always warnings everywhere that gambling is risky and gamblers are aware of the warnings but most of them already understand every risk so they play gambling with money they can afford to lose, so I think people who have become addicts will continue to give this warning to other gamblers so that don't become an addict so stop playing when you lose so that it doesn't make anyone an addict.

Ready to lose, whether you lose playing slots or other casino games, everything is full of risks, but slots are indeed difficult to use with a strategy because slot machine games only rely on luck and it's hard to get luck that we never know when it will come to us, so look for more games. fair would be better, I'm not a slot game lover because betting on sports makes more sense than playing casino machines.

That's because we often think that playing continuously can give us the opportunity to get Scatters, and even if it consumes everything we deposit, that's okay too. We will think that next time, we can be lucky to get Scatters to win free spins, which can help to get more wins.

You gave good advice to all of us: to have a plan to quit because we often forget our plan because we are busy thinking about how to win. But if we haven't been able to get free spins in a few rounds, we better stop immediately. Otherwise, we can continue to gamble by spending all the money.

Almost all slot players think so and most will try to cover up losses by continuing to play even if it's not a lucky moment. In fact, the jackpot moments that we usually get are not accompanied by a scatter that appears in every round we play, so it is very difficult to indicate when there is an opportunity for us to get a big win while playing. It's strange that when we raise the bet, the Scatter is very difficult for us to get and vice versa in small bets we often find it.

Depending on how we position gambling in slots, when we think today luck is far away we should stop, so that we don't spend more and more money on slots, because no matter how hard we force it in the end we will experience a greater amount of defeat.

I also experienced this when playing slot games, and it turned out to be making me lose almost all of my balance. It was a valuable lesson that it's better to stop immediately when you have won at gambling so you don't get too ambitious about winning other games.

And that is why we must have limits in gambling so that we do not try to chase another win. And it can also help us to limit the use of money, especially if we have experienced previous losing streaks. It's better to suffer a small loss than a big one because it hurts to accept it.

Slot games do have an addiction that is difficult to control, especially when you are in a state of luck, so you are constantly trying to chase a much bigger win and in the end all the balance you have runs out in maintaining selfishness in playing. Because we are often trapped with the Scatters that we get in the game, so we are always motivated to play even though we are not given anything when we get free spins.

My advice is when you often play slots, you must have a plan to stop even if you are lucky and it's better to place small bets in the early rounds, so you can recognize lucky patterns. Try to stop when there are no signs that you will get free spins, because usually if this happens you are out of luck, sometimes getting lots of free spins doesn't necessarily make you win.

Believe it or not it's hard to stop when people get lucky on a certain day in playing slots and most of what I've seen end up losing because they keep chasing luck. Personally I have experienced this in the Higgs Domino Island slot because being too ambitious ends up losing miserably and what I have experienced is that sometimes luck doesn't last long if we don't decide to stop.

So it's only natural to set standards in playing, for example how much money do you want to spend and how much profit do you want to get. When you are unlucky or have reached your profit target, you will decide to stop playing to avoid total losses, which is why it is important to set a playing target so you don't end up in a big loss.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Quote from: madnessteat on May 10, 2023, 01:01:48 PM

One of the most important things that I realized while gambling is that if a gambler does not limit his desires, he can lose quite a lot of money. I try not to play on a daily basis, because in my opinion the likelihood of gambling addiction in this case increases. I had acquaintances who gambled on a daily basis. It did not lead to anything good.

Limiting ourselves in gambling is very important because if we don't make that effort then the addiction will be excessive which costs a lot of money we have, playing every day is a bad effort whereas if you apply to play on weekends then there is a break you won't play often to do it fun on weekends and that is what I do but not all of my allocation is deposited in gambling but only 20% of what is generated during that week.

Not only do you have a friend who is addicted to gambling every day, I also have a friend like that and indeed there is nothing better to make every day, he has used up all the money he earned by gambling.

The most important thing is that you can limit yourself, that is the best control in gambling.

I've got addicted to Crash kind of game. Just cant resist not to make a bet when I see those huge multiplier. Every time when I am about to click on "stop/jump" button, I choose to wait a bit more. Good that casino has a faucet and I can limit myself with that money (even though I have already lost all remains of previously deposited cryptos). Everything turned into a habit already. Every hours I login and play, even though I know well about addiction Cheesy

I try not to play on a daily basis, because in my opinion the likelihood of gambling addiction in this case increases. I had acquaintances who gambled on a daily basis. It did not lead to anything good.

I can only add, that before becoming familiar with cryptocurrency, I did not pay much attention to gambling. Free spins dragged me into gambling. The rule "invest in crypto only the amount you can allow yourself to lose" rose careless attitude to crypto. If my crypto is already a "spent money" in my brains bookkeeping, then I am already used to not feeling bad or disappointed when crypto goes down or when I lose it in gambling Grin

The feeling of free or easy money already played bad for me when I have lost in slots the money I have won from free bet. Just one few clicks and 20 bucks gone. And I did not feel bad at all, but instead could have bought a pizza for evening for example and make a little surprise for everyone Cheesy

That's like saying that you wait for 2 heads in a row in a coin toss to bet for tails. Every coin toss is an independent event, and every time the chances are 50-50.

Whatever has happened in the past doesn't influence the future.

Not only talk about the past and the future, but mostly that's the pattern in playing slots and nothing has changed at all because we will see two opportunities to win and lose. You choose a spin and the chances of getting a Scatter or bonus are 50-50 and that's how slots make us addicted to play.

Quote from: maydna on May 07, 2023, 06:29:09 AM

It is very rare to get Scatter for some gamblers because it depends on our luck. So if we only play gambling for fun, we will not try to chase scatters or win a lot of money because that will be more difficult. Playing slots is fun, especially when you win some money, but we have to realize that playing slots requires luck, so we have to be able to stop before it's too late.

Never play when we are emotional because that will trigger us to act hastily and want to get big wins. It will only make us lose more money, especially if we can't decide to stop immediately. And when our emotions run high, we can forget to keep control of the money and instead spend it at that time.

Believe it or not it's hard to stop when people get lucky on a certain day in playing slots and most of what I've seen end up losing because they keep chasing luck.

that's true
always a good idea to manage bank roll and just gamble when you are emotionally balanced, avoiding gambling while anxious, angry or sleep deprived.
having a network of people you trust and that support you is a good idea too to avoid getting addicted.

Because indeed all forms that are related to emotion and are forced to gamble, the condition will get worse. I agree with things like this because it is precisely when the mind is far from normal in the mood, then it is indeed better not to approach it because this can actually make it more difficult for us to control ourselves.
I have done this several times and indeed this makes me emotional because gambling doesn't always go as expected.

It is important that we have good self-control, but on the other hand, we must be aware that our condition when playing gambling must be in a really good mood because this greatly affects the mindset and control of gambling.
