Ok! I was actually trying to get reasons why people get addicted to gambling which we all know is more self inflicted. However, I came up with this theory for someone who may actually want to gamble and then would not want to get addicted based on trying to fix their mentality about it and I would like to seek your opinion on what you think about it, if it can actually end up working for any gambler or not.

The theory is;
If you want to gamble, see it more like you are paying the casino or gambling platform to have some fun (just like you do to go watch some movies in cinema), which if you are paying for anything, you are not meant to expect it back. The good thing however is that, you can actually end up being paid more for having that fun if you get lucky, but the chances of seeing that happen is pretty slim. In that light, if you cannot actually live with doing what I said above, then you should not be gambling at all.

Does this sound like a mentality that can help anyone understand what they are in for if they indeed want to gamble or something even those who are tending towards addiction can set their mind to so as not to get into that deep gambling hole that is hard to come out from?

Then in my own conclusion, gambling is purely based on luck. Even if you are new or veteran in gambling if you are not lucky to win, you will eventually lose your resources if you get addicted to it. So see to it that when you gamble, make sure to gamble only the amount that is not needed for your daily expenses and savings.

Actually more people knows that winning from gambling is very slim but still they want an easy way to become rich person.If people don't want to get addicted they need to limit themselves and understand that this is just entertainment,they are spending their money to get fun.But still we can't convince the people they do what they want so better save ourselves from any addiction is the best we can do.

This has become big problem from people. They don’t want to lose this option because they want to earn easy money. But yahoo know the interesting thing that is true in so many cases, people do know that this game is hilarious and detrimental results can be made. They know they wouldn’t be earning any little penny from this game but still I ant sure why this is happening.

When they are ready to lose their money to get more money which is the first mistake of the people because gambling is not like investing or doing business so where we cannot make money from our skills we just need to rely on the luck.Its okay lets decide their fate by themselves.

Maybe if there was some sort of limitations on gambling websites on how much of your bankroll you can lose on one day but that is just bad business practice, why wouldn't they allow you to gamble all your money away if you are not responsible, you are losing your money and they are taking that money as a business profit.

All the above, if you can create an imaginary limit and just gamble accordingly and leave when you lose certain amounts than you can actually have a shitty day but still leave with small amount lost. You can come back on next day and keep doing whatever it is you were doing and the results could be a lot better. In gambling nothing sound realistic as per when I was sharing few of my gambling moments, my friends have teased me back how that was possible. Similarly, only gamblers do feel the pain of all the gambling problems and for the outside people, they are just jokes and unrealistic.

Some websites do have those limitations, to prevent yourself from playing or spending more than you would like.
I haven't seen it on any crypto casino's, but some casino websites in my country have it.

You can allocate playtime and a budget to yourself and if you go over it, you can't play anymore.
AFAIK it's not required by the government to do this.

This theory is very realistic but if all the gamblers followed it every time they gamble that is some bad news for casinos and gambling companies. A person so responsible will never become addicted or he will not play more money after he loses the money that had bet on something for example and I am not talking in the case where he wins which he may continue to play with only the wins.

I think that if this rule is followed from all the gamblers we would see much less gambling companies.

I think gambling can still lead someone to addiction to it if they don't know how to control their self. People tend to have some fun and able to pay for a price for that but we should remember that we have to take the money that we can afford to lose and not just the whole money that you hardly earned for a week or month.

People enter into gamble only after seeing some lucky people and to just copy them in their life. Just think over, if you did hear only sad stories on gambling, you would have entered into gambling ? No way for me. People might have turned as a fun seeking gambler after many bitter experience but before that I am sure all of us had entered here just to find our lucky day. Hence all are true and must be realistic only.

This is EXACTLY why I gamble and how I gamble. I have been preaching this idea for YEARS now. I go and gamble anywhere I want and see the money I gamble as an expense for fun. Exactly like going to movies or something. It is purely fun from home on my laptop. I tried to explain this to people yet they try to find some weird ways of figuring out how they can beat the system like gambling house yet no one cane with the house edge house will always win, just focus on the entertainment value and have fun. Because this is how a gambling house must work and we need to accept that fact. There could be few exceptions but those are not definitely the examples. Yes, we cannot copy anyone for making big fortune out of gambling. But, we may copy the way how some gamblers entertaining themselves. But, no one is ready to pay attention on that until they do learn their own lessons like how I did in my early gambling days Angry

This sounds good in theory, but I think it would be very hard for -some- people to disconnect from the notion that they gamble to win money.
The thing with addiction is that it kind of creeps up on you, without you noticing it at first.

So, you could very well be lying to yourself about 'only doing it for fun', while you're still getting addicted slowly.

A better tactic might be to severely limit the amount of time you spend on gambling, by sheer willpower alone.
When you see that you cannot do that, you can be pretty sure that you would be prone to becoming addicted in the future.

There are still some people who do engage with gambling in longer span of time but cant be considered to be addicted but its really hard to convince ourselves that they arent addicted yet engaging into gambling with a specific time or lets just say almost everyday is really proving out that hes already one those those gamblers cant really resist not to play. They do just tell they are not addicted but deep inside they are just keep lying to themselves. Prolong periods of playing will really put you into that case even no matter how strong your self-control is.

I think to call someone addicted, there have to be some negative consequences tied to the gambling habits of that person.
I wouldn't call someone addicted if they play a couple of hours per day, but don't spend more than they can lose and if it doesn't prevent them from having important social relationships with other people.

Now I do think they might be at higher risk of becoming addicted down the line, but I don't think you can ever be 100% that that will happen.

People can easily judge other people without even knowing on the true situation of such person.He do have his own freewill and we do know if we are already doing it too much.
You are still on a safe side if you are aware about your savings and other allocated important funds but we cant really remove into our minds that playing gambling will make a link to addiction.
It just depend on how you would control yourself or let addiction to overcome you.

WhT ever the reason you can give but it is clear that everyone knows the side affects of gambling but still they are gangling. The addiction of gambling starts like this first the gambler starts to gamble for fun but when he looses high then he goes after tore over its loss and then it starts the addiction, which ends in disaster.

Not at all it doesn't sound or even look realistic this a dumb thing people gamble for various reasons and there is no reasons to give the house the money. They gamble cause they may be heart broken, lonely want to have fun experiences in their life's that all is what is reality. I don't know where yiu found out this but as a gambler I do not agree with this at all.

maybe some people will think like what you think. but we don't know what exactly in their mind and what they will do if they are in the gambling places. maybe they understand about the risk of playing gambling but they still want to try to play the game. the addicting in gambling come to us when we want to play more in the game even if we know the consequences of gambling that caused of losing money. the feeling of curiosity in ourselves sometimes can be a big problem for us so it will attract us to get deeper into the gambling games.

I think this pretty much irons it out

At the end of the day, that mentality is a great one to have, but it's not realistic for a lot of people (especially ones with addictive personalities).
If you have an addictive personality (and most people need to be honest with themselves about this), don't gamble at all, or don't gamble alone.

But for me, I've always taken this exact approach with gambling. It's for fun, nothing more, nothing less. Gambling gives a thrill just as a roller coaster would - essentially "never expect profit".

I myself have even fallen into the mentally that gambling could be a profession if done correctly, and that just isn't the case. The way you say to just use the money to have fun and play is great because you can consider the money you're using lost as an expense for fun.

What i have thought and came to know about gambling addiction is that it makes everyone habitual because if someone loose he or she will always trying to recover their amount and if someone wins it anytime his or her lust will compel them to do it again again
