Gambling indeed has its repercussions if it isn't done right. If you can, do your best to gamble responsibly and moderately so you won't get addicted. Excessive and frequent gambling can lead to dependency and addiction in the long run, which could cost you so much of your health, money, time, and effort. It's best to be a disciplined gambler so you won't have a hard time in the industry. If you will be a wise gambler, the chances of you winning will be higher with low chances of getting addicted into it because as a wise gambler, everything comes with balance and control.

I don't see it as a shameful act if someone tells another their weakness and seeks help. Unless the gambler sought help from the wrong person, I don't see how this should be difficult, which is a good reason to only keep good people around you. It's heroic to me for anyone to fight their minds and admit their weakness to seek external help. Anyone with the right senses will rather find ways to help such and not mock them. Everyone has their weaknesses, they are only of different measures, and when one determined to change, any good person should be ready to help.

This is why gambler has to get help from the people they can trust, gambling is not entirely a bad thing, it's the going astray part by some people that is bad. This is a psychological matter and a bit of  encouragement in fighting it will also go a long way in helping the person.

Well it's possible if, I agree a little bit with this expression of yours. It is true that there must be some of them people in our neighborhood who assume that gamblers are people they should avoid or stay away from because it will be able to have a negative impact on them, it makes sense to digest, especially if the people around them are very sensitive so it is true that with that then the addicted gamblers will definitely close or will not know anyone that they have a gambling addiction, although maybe they have no bad intentions to harm others but still people's perceptions must be different - different. Of course that's the main reason why people like them don't admit their bad habits, besides not wanting to be shunned by their friends they also don't want others to have a bad opinion of them.

Yes but it depends on their own personality as addicts, if indeed they don't care about anything including bad words from others then maybe they could tell people, but I think that's unlikely, I mean it's unlikely that those who are addicted to gambling will suddenly tell others about their bad habits if they are not in an urgent situation, I think like that.

Maybe there is a fear of gambling addicts that if they reveal their gambling addiction to other people, they will be rejected by people, making them unable to accept it. And that's what makes gambling addicts not want to admit that they have a gambling addiction so they don't dare to be honest with other people. But if they don't care about what other people will say, they will still say or be honest with people that they need help and want to cure their gambling addiction. That will allow them to get the right treatment to cure their gambling addiction.

Unfortunately there is still a huge stigma against those that suffer some kind of mental disorder, since they fear looking for a psychiatrist, being labeled and then for that label to never disappear.

And this causes them to not look for professional help, as they play mental gymnastics thinking that if no professional has diagnosed them with an addiction then they are not addicted, forgetting that what matters is not the label but the reality, and someone which spends most of their time and their money gambling is an addict, regardless of how they try to soften and alter the truth.

When some gamblers are told to gamble responsibly, they tend to get offended because these people think that the advice is coming from a place mockery. Responsible gambling is cheaper and better to manage than becoming a gambling addict because it's surely gonna ruin the addict's financial life. But in as much as we can control how individuals live their private life, it's still our collective obligation to help each and everyone of us by stopping anything that'll less to becoming a gambling addict abd not gambling responsibly is the primary reason of it and should be totally condemned.

It's true what you said. They need immediate medical help to realize that what they are doing is wrong, and with that medical help, they can cure their gambling addiction, which may already be at a serious stage. They will not know and want to admit that they have a very serious gambling addiction, but other people see it, they really have to leave gambling before it is too late. And even though it's too late, they still have to leave gambling for a second chance to enjoy their lives again. They need more attention from the people around them, and if there are people who care about them, those people can immediately help them to cure their gambling addiction.

From all that, we should understand that we need self-control so as not to get addicted. Never gamble excessively because it won't always give you a win, but you might lose. Instead of losing a lot, you should reduce the money and time spent gambling to save everything for your own good. Gambling will not give you money, but you can lose money. So if you can gamble responsibly, you must maintain it and not try to exceed the limits you have set so that you do not experience problems in gambling.

Gamblers need self-control and accountability. Its easy to become addicted, and its serious. It affects many men and women and is serious. As you said, they only think about gambling nonstop, which is a significant problem.

Similar circumstances exist in Bitcoin. Trading and investing without responsibility can become addictive. They want to capitalise on rising prices. Its not all fun and games. Money, losses, and repercussions are real. They may not realise they're in over their heads until its too late, which is the pseudo-problem. The promise of quick money can cloud judgement and responsibility. The crypto industry needs your expertise on gambling self-control.

You are talking about people who have a pronounced gambling addiction and they visit casinos not for gambling or pleasure they have a compulsive and unhealthy desire to beat the casino. We all understand that this can happen only by chance and judging by the theory of probability of such an event is unlikely, but gambling addicts do not understand this and with manic passion trying to win a large sum. Such people need urgent medical and psychological help otherwise they may suffer from their desires.   

That happens if they don't have responsibility because they can easily become addicted to gambling. This will happen to both men and women, and when it happens, they will only think about gambling non-stop, and if they have money, they will continue to gamble. Whether the result is winning or losing, it doesn't matter to them because they just want to continue gambling. Maybe they will rest for a while after winning, but they will come back to gambling again. So self-control and responsibility are really needed when gambling so they don't experience bad problems.

Limitation is very important to determine if you are a responsible gambler, knowing your time when stop and when to proceed is something that you needed to assure inside you, most of the time those who encounter addiction are people who just play without thinking ahead of any possible risk, they exceed from the limitation and most of the time they really lose control from what they are doing and ended up losing lot of money into this activity.

Yes you are right that mate cause once a man or a woman involve in gambling  and they don't have responsibility the there's a chance that they will get into addiction cause we all know once they played and win a good amount they will bet again and again. But those people who has responsibility and self control then after spending their money neither win or loss then. They will stop Ang come again nextime.

What I think about all this is that when we are playing there are many ways there are to control profits and losses, but there is usually a case that when we are playing and we are very concentrated and we start winning, when we start winning, we start to try to think that we should do it faster and with more money because we know that the streaks are few, and that practically when we play and win that usually passes quickly and then comes the losing streak, which is the one we don't want to experience, but that is inevitable, on a personal level I think that a lost streak always makes us think that we must touch land from time to time, not to continue thinking that we can continue winning and winning, so in this order of ideas things can flow in a good sense of things, as long as we have the control to play and not gamble more than we should, 'well for me it's fine, it doesn't matter how long it takes us in the casino, not at all, hours can pass, but if the money that we are destined to lose is still at stake because we have to give it that day, that is, if things look better and we win, then we have to retire with good money and make that powerful withdrawal, to go and spend it on what we want. we like it the more, because that's what you win for.

Now having said all this, you can see in the approach where everything turns out very well and positive, but we also have to consider the effect if the opposite turns out, if we lose, what if we lose? Yes, we have everything right, but things don't work out and we lose! Nor do we have to lose control if we have the money ready to lose it, because we have to accept that loss and then come back the next day, or when we have that money that we are willing to lose, because the biggest mistake of all is that We are trying to recover our profits or what many do is seek to recover what was lost.

Yes, having responsibility when gambling is very important because it can help us prevent excessive gambling spending. And it can also prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling if we can continue to apply it when we gamble. A sense of responsibility and wisdom in gambling can also provide calm and signal that we have gambled and must stop immediately before everything changes. And if we can apply it while we gamble, we can slowly become responsible gamblers who can control ourselves when gambling.

I really agree with you that responsibility in gambling activities is the most important because after all it will affect the financial condition and life of a gambler. We can see that often successful gamblers end up poor because they are lulled by a glamorous life and have no responsibility for their lives. However, there are gamblers who are not very successful but remain stable financially and in life because they have responsibility and wisdom which leads them to become good people.

 I don't know, I think you are talking about people who are problem gamblers, and they are not the majority, problem gamblers constitute about 5% to 6% of all gamblers. So, I think most gamblers are there for fun indeed. Of course they want to win, we all want to win, but if we lose $5-$6, or whatever, we don't chase our losses, we consider the lose money as spent on fun.


Exactly.

I think the same as you, there are some behaviors which could be treated with a gradual reduction of the activity until you stop completely, like those that drink a lot of coffee or carbonated drinks, however there are other behaviors that require for the person to stop immediately, or at least as soon as it is possible, and I think gambling addiction is one of those things that require such a determined response, if that is not the case then this person will always be tempted to go back to their old ways and this is simply unacceptable.

You needed to realize that recovering your money add up another risk with the money that you will going to deposit, and besides, addiction starts with that lust of keep trying for more, either you are in the winning side or on the losing side, there's always a risk that you will ask for more and you will exceed from a certain limits that supposedly is your target.

With such participation, addiction already developing inside you, it's needed enough time and effort for you to work it out and realize if how will you address it and how will be your action plan to move forward and quit away.

Changes doesn't come so easy, most times you may definitely have to go back and forth and then gradually with time and strong determination you may get to finally stop it or get rid of it, and that most times explain why the back and forth experience is seen with gamblers who wants to stop or reduce their gambling habits.

That feel of been lucky some day I think is sometimes the reason most person can be seen going back to gambling again after trying to quit especially when they are pursuing their losses, they will be of the taught that they could definitely recover all from one big win if it comes Which in some cases it hardly or may never come but they remain persistent and determined and may end up with more losses.

The fight against ourselves must be the strongest ever as in some cases you may feel you are in control and gat your things together but then you may end up loosing it as it's sometimes beyond our control that's why it's recommended at times to seek help if possible but the guilt on some people at time can be so much they become shy to get help.
