I agree with that,  especially when an addicted gambler get involved in such winning strings this will increase his quest to become more addicted at the end it will have an over all negative impact on the gamblers.

Best practice to avoid gambling addictions is stay off and never have a taste of it in the first place,  just as stated severally,  it is easier to become an addicts than to get out of addictions.

Actually we can never get rid of gambling easily especially when our winning moment comes in gambling/casino, a kind of excitement works in our mind and hence we start focusing more on gambling.
Again, when the losing moment comes in gambling, even though there is a temporary negative effect in our mind, later we become addicted to gambling more and more to make up for the loss.
So it is easy to get involved in gambling but once you concentrate it becomes a much tougher challenge to keep yourself away. But it should be remembered that no work is impossible....

You are right, personally, whenever it comes to playing in a casino, since here we already have some experience in games of chance, it is very necessary to have good control in terms of what we are going to spend, or the money we are going to put into it. be willing to lose, the other thing we know is that we should not think about what we are going to win, we must have a mentality that first the casino has an advantage, we are never going to overcome the advantage, if we play laro lpazo the tendency will always be to lose a little, because winning is not something that is done all the time, there are periods of time where the player has a great tendency to win, which we call streak and this is very nice because when the player is on a streak, it is usually a very short time but we must take advantage of it and that is when the greatest emotions occur and that is when we must control ourselves more because this is when we need to be very clear about what we should do, there is someone who They lose control when making bets, because they believe that since they are winning, they deserve to win more and it is a very big trap, because the player thinks that he should continue winning and winning, when he starts to lose it is the ugly thing, because the player starts to bet and bet a lot and that is when you can lose what you have won, what you were willing to lose and possibly if you continue making deposits you will continue to lose them, this is the only bad thing about not knowing how to control yourself.

In this order of ideas we could think that things in a casino can sometimes get out of control, and yes, but that is where our responsibility comes in, in order to have a good performance in casinos it is essential to have good self-control available. and of course it is easy to say but very difficult to do, personally I have had cases like this, and I know that I should not do certain things that suck, the bad thing that happens here is the impulses, the impulses are what sometimes make us lose more money, because we believe that with a special play we will Recover and we will be in profit.

Yes, there is self control but also that's one thing that we're forgetting when we're too focus in our bets. We want to control it but we're being controlled by our own emotions.

That is it, we need to force ourselves for us to make that actuality of self control. Because you'll have to break it down until you are able to control yourself. Yes, those who knows how to control themselves have their own limits and they can do that on their own.

Quite agree with you, but then, there is what is called self control, winning will make any gambler happy and would want to play more since he or she believes that every win gives him or her an easy money - quite understandable.

While losing on the other hand will also make the gambler want to keep playing as well, in a bid to atleast, see if he or she can recover some of the funds he or she has lost - very much understandable as well .

But you and I know that this feelings are normal, there is nothing extraordinary with it, all we need; to do away with such feeling is self control, a food that is so tasty makes you wanna eat more and more, but with self control, we force ourselves up when we know we are full, even while there is still a lot available to eat.

It is same also with gambling , those who have self control will not gambling above their limits, regardless of winning or losses .

That is if he is willing to learn to moderate his gambling activities because many temptations can make him lose self-control and cause him to become addicted to gambling. This has happened a lot where they can still control themselves in gambling, but gradually, when the temptation gets bigger and gives them several wins, it makes them want to win even more. And that will probably be the beginning for them to become addicted to gambling, and they won't even realize it. And only by telling other people what we can do so that they can immediately help us solve this gambling addiction problem so that it doesn't cause us to become serious gambling addicts.

Perhaps building new activities could be one solution to reduce gambling addiction so that the mental pressure to continue gambling can be reduced too. But they indeed need a strong determination to reduce their gambling activities so that they can control themselves to stay away from gambling. It would be more helpful if they could do other activities to reduce their gambling activities.

In gambling, we must have limits to control everything and reduce the losses we might receive. With these limits, we can suppress the desire to gamble to reduce our gambling activities and avoid gambling addiction, which is a problem for many gamblers. If you can't stop gambling, you can just reduce your gambling activities so that you don't lose a lot of money gambling. You should use the money for other things.

It's not easy to just stop gambling, especially if you have become an addict, the only way is to get used to reducing it slowly so that the brain and heart become accustomed to the pressure on our minds to continue gambling, I'm sure people can do that too. like I can also do it because I have the determination to reduce my gambling activities so that I can be more controlled.

Limit your time and money so you don't indulge yourself in gambling too much. There must be a limit so you don't play any further because by reducing our gambling activities, of course we can control it later, especially suppressing the high desire to gamble, because we are used to reducing it, so whenever we can. stop gambling at any time if you feel ready. But I would rather reduce my gambling activities than stop gambling, because I only gamble for fun and don't prioritize gambling as a source of income. The healthier your mindset, the better it will be.

But that's one hard task when the gambler has been in the sensation of winning and losing. Why both?
It's because winning gives that emotion that we're like untouchable and we want to gamble more. And with losing, it is giving us the bad that we have to recover and we can't be losers so, we continue even with that emotional attachment and reminder that we shouldn't.
It's hard to beat this matter when you're in both enjoyment and feeling because even you are aware that you need to stay calm, you can't say what happens next.

I every well agree with you any ways because when you are emotional stable you become accurate in staking your games and being following up as the match progresses because often times than none,  a lot of odds changes in-between the line that of the gambler emotional state of mind is not stable it won't be so ok to take the right position.

Quite clear that gamblers often need to take care of they emotional well being of others to stay ahead in making game calculations and decisions that will place them in a better position.

Emotions influence the way one gambles. Not so fast: This doesn't reveal anything new. Nevertheless, I respect your attempt at knowledge. Really cute. What is the true tragedy, you ask? Losers, just like you mentioned, are everywhere. They're mindlessly scrolling through their phones, searching for porn, or just hanging about in search of junk food. They never mentally prepare themselves, and then, everyone knows that "then". They have an addiction to something. If you take gambling seriously, check your emotional baggage at the door and adopt a tough mentality. If not, just speak without doing anything. 

As long as the person is yet to be a gambling addict, there is a huge chance that he can still moderate his gambling activity.  But if the person happened to be already a gambling addict then the person will be having a hard time controlling his urge to gamble.  it would not be easy to a gambling addict to moderate his gambling activity because the uncontrolled urge to gamble is already present in his brain system.  So it is better to ask for medical assistance and help from our love ones in order to help us recover from gambling addiction and be able to control ourselves again.

He needs to train himself more so he can change and stop gambling. He could try to control himself first and not gamble for a while. And to fill the time he usually uses for gambling, he can try other activities that divert his attention. If he can do this, it seems he can change and stop his habit of gambling because avoiding gambling for a while while doing other things can help someone to quit gambling. Yes, he must have a strong determination from the heart to succeed in changing it and stop gambling. But if he still wants to return to gambling, he needs to practice self-control first because that can prevent his greed from getting bigger so he won't experience bigger losses.

Yes, actually it is true that this healthy self awareness of thinking will awaken a gambler to bet responsibly and ignore the desire to win big at gambling because with thoughts like that we can control ourselves better and know when is the right time to stop betting and limit budget to gamble with smaller amounts and be a responsible gambler.
Even so, there are still many gamblers who continue to ignore responsibility in gambling on the grounds that they want to win big from gambling, while they also ignore every type of bet and it still depends on luck, which should not be expected too much by a gambler and should This gambler enjoys betting by having fun as you said.

Well for the fact that our mentality matters a lot in whatever we are doing we have to employ a stable mentality that can allow us to make proper decisions that will help us in some ways possible that will place us in a winning position,  this could also affect our winning rate at some points.

If a gambler allows his emotions to have control of his thoughts and mindset towards the game,  it still can hamper his chances of winning since he may be prone to making decisions at the wrong time,  since his emotions are in control.

Gambling responsibly is a good idea because it allows you to experience the thrill and excitement of games while maintaining control over your spending.

Setting limits on your time and money you can ensure that gambling remains fun instead of a financial burden. Responsible gambling encourages you to make informed decisions, understand the risks involved and prioritise your well being.

It's all about having fun in a safe and controlled manner which ultimately enhances the enjoyment and positive outcomes of the gambling experience.

Too often, I've seen this trend, and it makes me sad. The first wins made people think things that weren't true. It's common for gamblers to think that early wins are the rule and not the exception. If winning was that easy to guess, I often ask, wouldn't we all be millionaires by now? It's not just a rule of economics; the law of diminishing returns is a lesson for life. It gets less exciting and profitable to gamble as more time and money are spent on it. The maths is easy. Remember how great it felt to win the first time? The ones that came after that? Not quite the same high, do you agree? That's the trick. Keeping an eye on oneself is very important, as you pointed out. Since the ship has left, it's a bitter pill to swallow. But if you realise it quickly, you won't drift too far into rough water

Yeah, gambling requires constant mental observation. If a person notice any unusual behavior in their gambling habits, they have to follow Op's advise, atleast take a break. To some extent gamblers don't want to understand or obey the law of diminishing return. Many addicted gamblers today, must have made lots of profits through gambling, and during the period of winning they took gambling activity more seriously, allocating extra money and time into it. When they stop winning, start losing more money and time, such players fail to pause it. The behavior like during the winning times reoccurs in times of losses, increasing the player's frustration, because s/he doesn't win anymore yet plays more.

Hence, if a player pays close attention to their gambling lifestyle and the economy of their life, they can differentiate between when they weren't gambling and now that they gamble. If the development is poor; short of funds, repulsive gambling and questionable attitudes. A sensible player, can begin to cut short on the time and money spent in gambling, and increase their chances of staying clear from gambling addiction.

Apparently, in short, your heart wants to change, which is why your mind doesn't want to quit. It's really hard to fight yourself, isn't it? But you've actually got to give a reminder to others here, even though you yourself admit that because of greed, you can't quit.

Your warning is right; don't chase your losses. I agree with this; that's why you have a hard time getting rid of your greed. Anyway, if a gambler really wants to, apart from what you said that there must be a strong will, we must also be determined to do it from the heart.

When I bet, I do it in such a way that it does not affect my choices played, much less affect the total amount of my money to play, because betting responsibly for me is being able to establish a simpler way of not losing money and having fun, and even though the casino will always make or find a way to have our money, we can do something to win and take advantage, but not everyone is that lucky, because some are already predestined to Accept that they can lose at any moment and they are not excited, in part it is a mature thought that can be accepted as good, also for me it is responsible, irresponsible behavior is thinking that with little money a lot will be done and risking money that is not Owed.

And that appearance and fantasy should be dealt with reality. Of course, majority of us are dreaming big and winning huge amount of money in gambling and so we continue to pursue it an think that its going to be accomplished.

But for me, it's hard to think it that way, maybe I have been addicted before and I know the consequences already. That's why when I play I don't deal with those kind of fantasies, but rather stay on the ground and try not to have my judgement clouded with this imaginary and fantasy in gambling. Just learn how to control it, and not let gambling control yourself.
