Gambling for fun was fine as long as he could control himself and stop in time. But what happens a lot is when people have had the pleasure of playing gambling, they will forget to stop and just keep gambling in search of victory. But some people use their income for other things outside of gambling so they won't feel like losing money at the gambling table. Whatever a person chooses must be based on what he finds fun. So if someone can get out of gambling easily, it means he can think of gambling as entertainment, not as a place to make money.


True, that is an important point in making gambling as entertainment, when they are become a gambler, they are playing just to for fun. Those who have reached this level will no longer make gambling a place to make money. But to use the money only as entertainment. When they can make gambling a place to seek pleasure, then gamblers will be able to play without prioritizing emotions, both when they lose or win. best practice when we only focus on winning, we should stop gambling, because this mindset can reduce the financial burden.

Yes, that's right, gambling does not make us rich, most cases of gambling make gamblers poor. The more money lost on gambling sites does not make gamblers stop, but they are increasingly addicted and ambitious to get their money back. Even if it's just an illusion, the lost money won't come back
It does not unless we are going to risk one big bet. Trying to double it with all our life savings on it. I doubt there's one human being who would do this unless he has a problem in his brain. That's an automatic suicide. Get rich or be homeless.

Gambling addiction is indeed very dangerous, this is where the importance of gambling responsibility. We have to think logically and gamble just for fun. Nobody forbids playing gambling, but keep in mind that gambling is not a way to get money instantly. There is nothing like that in this world, although there are stories of people hitting big jackpots on gambling sites, but the chances are very small
It's actually nice to see that every gambling advertisement now has that warning and hotline on gambling problems. Before, we don't really see this, they just put their advertisements on commercials everywhere without any caution to people that it can lead to addiction.
And today, there are more organizations that are trying to help with this type of problem especially now that the industry is growing and accessible in both sports and casinos.

The concept of getting rich is by working. there is no other choice unless you have a large inheritance or you are born into a rich family. Everyone knows that getting out of the gambling circle is difficult, but it needs to be done. At a minimum you should have financial control, don't spend all your money on gambling sites

Proper investment, working, or business. Work harder, be paid better. In business, there's a risk too, but if it clicks, money will definitely be a continuous cycle.
Gambling is not the answer to it and never will be. Even the most courageous human being will not be fool enough to risk it in betting just to get rich fast. Better, it should never be an idea for anyone.

Gambling for fun, do you think it's wrong for you?

It's not wise to gamble your earnings from gambling, but there's nothing wrong if you just gamble for small amount money or amount you can afford to lose. Are you never use your money for fun? spending for entertainment. It's like you go to night club with your friends, you donate to Vtuber, gacha game to get your favorite skin etc.
I think the character of a person in seeking entertainment to use his money is different. For a non-gambler, he will use their money in nightclubs or tours. For some people gambling is not entertainment, it is a place to earn money, it is a different thing for those who make gambling as a place of entertainment.

Correct. Making gambling activities as a past time or a habit will definitely make it hard for you to quit because other than gambling activities, you don't know any remedies on where would you blow off your steam after long days at work or when you're just bored as you are already accustomed in gambling in every free time you have. Don't take it wrong because it's not really a bad idea to choose gambling as a way to release some stress but don't do it in most occasions as that will pull you in their trap.
A variety of hobbies is a must, not only because if you only have one hobby you could eventually get tired of it and then you will not know what to do, but also because it is important to avoid spending too much of our time in a single activity, and while gambling is entertaining and exciting, at the same time we need to use our free time in other activities, as not only this helps us to enjoy our gambling time even more but it also protect us from developing any kind of gambling issue.
That's right if someone can, they should obviously have more activities, playing some kind of sports game outside your home should be one of the main activities one should have when they have time, playing a sports game will also keep one physically fit since it is a sort of an exercise that one does in a ground or a stadium or anywhere they might be playing, indoor games are also good that can kill some of your time and be an additional activity for you.

When someone doesn't have much to do, they are most likely to become gambling addicts if they already have the urge to gamble, there are two things that people have no activities outside their home do, one is playing video games and the other one is gambling, those who play video games are better off than those who gamble.

Gambling is just a kind of activity that can provide us entertainment and profit. It's not what you call an addiction but it is possible to become addicted to it, if we don't have a self control. Any types of addiction is deadly because people will forget to eat and sleep. It can also give them a depression which can lead for a gambler to end their lives immediately. No, we don't sell our wealth but we can only spend it.

Gambling can be one of the activities where we can spend our money/wealth. Maybe you mean is an addicted gambler can sell his things (ie. house, car, appliance.. ) which is true because they don't have money left in their pockets or bank accounts.

Gambling sites have now started to adopt such tactics that a gambler falls into deep addiction very quickly. So now it becomes almost impossible for a gambler to quit gambling after winning a large amount. and gambling has become a habit for many and many are using it as a profession. Gambling is now considered as a legitimate game in the minds of people, which is why it is now very difficult and almost impossible to avoid gambling.
I think gambling is a deadly addiction and many people are selling their wealth because of this addiction. Some people are trying to make money by gambling.  I think if someone tries to make money by gambling, they won't last long. Because a gambler can never quit gambling.  Even if he owns a lot of money at one time, he may lose all his money by gambling and become completely destitute.

Will lead you to engage in with more of your time and following that, it will also lead you to deposit more. Gambling as pastime
if you know how to control your emotions.
As a pastime, gamblers still tend to deposit more and that's hard to avoid.

But if you don't have that capability, better to engage with other things and forget about using this venue to kill some time. It's hard to quit
when you are participation is already deep and your engagement already gives you the adrenaline to keep pushing for more.
Like a relationship, it's hard to part away when you've been attached on it for a very long time and there's the deeper connection inside when you've been into big wins and losses.

You see, we have different kids of hobbies and it's better when our character is still attributed to a particular hobby we are used to, but when it turns to be an addiction then it turns to be a bad habit and we may not easily get control of it, that's why we could discover seing many gamblers today who were addicted and wanted to quit but couldn't afford such because they are too used to that kind of nature or lifestyle in gambling, this makes it an important task for us to deal with our hobbies before it turns out to an addiction in gambling

I absolutely agree with you. Self-control plays a very important role and not only in gambling. I think the first thing you need to learn every gambler is to control your desires and money. Until I have not acquired these skills gambling led me several times to large losses. After I learned how to limit myself, I physically cannot lose more money than I originally expected.
Controlling our own ambitions, requirements, and desires, as well as developing a legitimate source of consistent income rather than settling for gambling. It's genuine, self-control comes first; it's all about us, what we need, how much time we need, and what stimulates us to want something. Limits oneself from participating in some gambling activities, and always avoid anything that will put one under pressure, because this alone sends a clear message that what we are doing is completely wrong, and it is not wise to continue any farther.

Only smart people may understand the mentioned factors to learn from their mistakes, not everyone is capable of holding these qualities as gambling is very addictive. Pressure is not something they can avoid since there are many psychological conditions that affect their mindset. It is hard to quit because of emotional damage to mental heath, the rest comes later.
Gambling is easy to quit if you have self-control over your gambling activities and you don't gamble often. You can quit because you have not made it as part of you,another way that one can easily quit is when you don't let yourself get carried away by your emotions. This will enable you not to think of chasing your loss.

It is very hard for an addict to quit gambling because he believes that he can win big tomorrow. Those that also think gamble is profitable will be carried away with this mindset and will never think of controlling  themselves over their gambling activities. Gradually, they will become addicted without even knowing that they are addict.

Agree with this.

It's important to build or find a hobby aside from gambling. After all, it's so much better to allot your other spare time to beneficial and worthwhile activities that could contribute to your growth and development as a person, and even adding in your set of skills that you have acquired over time. It will be a responsible thing to do to take part into other recreational activities to boost your health and well-being. Because after all, gambling can be tiring and anxious especially if the odds aren't going on your favor. This could also help in prevention of building unnecessary gambling dependency that could be harmful in the long run if not cut early on.

1. You now understand the risk.
Everyone who is involved in gambling must understand very well what the risks of gambling are and they start making bets because they can accept any risks that can occur at any time.
What's surprising is that when gamblers experience large losses or wins, they lose control of themselves and start to be even more aggressive in betting sessions to get what is on their minds, making it difficult to stop gambling immediately.

Quote
2. You gamble only when you can really afford to lose a certain amount of money.
This is an important aspect of gambling because in gambling, only defeat is sure to come, so using money that can be received when it is lost can make us not regret and chase that loss.
Unfortunately most gamblers are very careless and are too brave to use money from loans or money that will actually be used for other interests.
Many gamblers feel sorry for their losses but they cannot realize the mistakes they have made.

Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?
I am not gambling to make money, I gamble for fun, but making sure I am not wasting money on gambling. But if my work takes most of my time, I will prefer not to gamble because I put where that I make money from to be first.

Have you ever won a high amount of money from gambling and managed to not lose them all back to gambling? And to date, you are still gambling?
Yes but not so big to make a life fortune. I do not know how to answer this than saying that I have weekly budget for gambling which is very small in amount and I do not go more than it.
when y'all say you don't gamble to make money but rather for the fun of it, trust me I get confused.
Is it that you don't make earnings from gambling or, you don't have a strategy with which you gamble with??

What happens to your earnings from gambling since you're not gambling for the money.
It's normal to get lost with such claims, what this is trying to tell you is that people have learned that losing is the only realistic thing with gambling, if you gamble it's certain that you will lose money.

To keep gambling, what is the only way forward? There is nothing left than to gamble very safe and lower your aim with gambling or even better not to expect anything from gambling.

If you have this type of mindset, you won't be an addict and you will gamble less, there is another benefit that comes with this.

1. You now understand the risk.

2. You gamble only when you can really afford to lose a certain amount of money.

You are now different from those that want to turn their lives around using gambling, you are now different from those that gamble every blessed day waiting for a miraculous day to take place.

Losing in gambling is REAL.

I agree with this.

Gambling is a risky hobby and a risky source of income if you will try to make it as one. It can cost you so much before you can eventually earn and profit. It could also lead you to being addicted to the point you're willing to bypass your financial capabilities just to be able to satisfy your gambling habits. And once you fall for that temptation, it will be a bad situation on your end. You can be burdened up by pile of debts, lose time for your loved ones, disregard your responsibilities, and even make enemies in the process.

Additionally, it will be hard to quit too because once you are used to with the routine, you will end up in a bargaining stage with yourself and perhaps even relapse.
Making gambling a hobby is not the right way to make money. And using gambling as a hobby will also cost a lot of money, and it will also be difficult for us to win. Not many people can really make money but there will be more people who will lose and lose their money. Our financial ability will fall if we don't control the use of playing gambling, especially if we use gambling as a hobby. Usually, when we take something as a hobby, we will focus more on it; if the hobby is gambling, we will also lose a lot of money.

i quite often hear about people going bankrupt because of their gambling addiction, even when they are really abandoned by their families because they no longer have money and are only a burden to the family.  Quitting from an activity that we have been doing for quite a long time is really not easy, but if it has damaged your lifestyle, family harmony and also your financial condition then quitting gambling is what you have to do.  
there are many examples of current gamblers and former gamblers that we can make reference to.  Gambling is just entertainment and stress relief, don't make it your main source of income and routine activities.
That's why we have to be able to care for ourselves while playing gambling and not overspend on spending money. In addition, we also have to control how long we gamble because the longer we play gambling, the greater the chance we can become addicted to gambling. And when we start to get addicted to gambling, we can forget about other things and that's when our lives will be disrupted. Only stopping gambling is all we can do and even though we find it hard to do it, we still have to try it because if we don't, we won't be able to get out of gambling.
