Topic: Gamble Responsibly - page 29. (Read 11382 times)

Yes, everyone under the wrong circumstances could become addicted to anything, so it is important that when we are at our most vulnerable we are as alert as we can, as for example someone which has lost a loved one could become addicted to alcohol if they begin to rely on it to endure the pain they are suffering for their loss.

Also, deep down most of those that are suffering an addiction have some sort of psychological issue that leads them in that direction, and if that issue can be solved then their addiction can be solved as well, so it is important they receive the treatment of a therapist as well, besides the treatment they are receiving to overcome their addiction.

I have to disagree with this. Addiction isn't something you can control or choose to have it or not. Anyone is prone to addiction but on different levels. It depends on how vulnerable the person in question is. Everyone know that gambling is not always profitable and that the chances of losing are higher than those of losing but they keep playing till they become addicts. Knowing the risks doesn't exempt you from becoming an addict.

Making loses in gambling is normal and it's not something that we need to see as a weakness and or way that we are nit trying our best. Since we are not the only one that is a gambler, there arf other people too whose aim is the same with us so we need to see gambling as an activity of losing and winning. If you lose today, you need to accept your faith and if it is a win then that's our luck. Sometimes luck can shine on us even when we do not expect at all. In all we do, we should always try our best to gamble responsible.

You explained it correctly, and indeed it is the reality. When we want to win from gambling, casinos will not give it to us easily. And even though the casino gives the money, it won't be too much because the casino is the one who will get a lot of the money. And when people watch these flashy videos, they should be able to think that gambling is not like that. The easy wins are only to tempt and attract people to gamble at the casino. But as long as we can take care of ourselves, we won't be affected and will just watch the video without any curiosity.

But as long as we can take care of ourselves, we won't be affected and will just watch the video without any curiosity.

At least, we must continue to remind each other to be responsible gamblers. But if someone can't be a responsible gambler, that's up to them. aThe important thing is that we have warned you to be responsible when playing gambling so you don't get carried away by the many interesting gambling games.

The first impact that the gambler will feel is that he will gamble more often. He will not be able to feel that he has signs of gambling addiction, so he will only think about winning gambling games. Gradually, these thoughts will get bigger and make you gamble more often, and you may even lose track of time. And when he completely loses control of himself, he will use his money to keep trying to win. And even if he wins, he still wants a bigger win, so he will think about using a big bet so that the win will be a big win. But that didn't happen, and if he kept repeating it, his finances would be in disarray, and he would likely take money for his family to gamble with. If that happens, the impact will be greater because he risks losing his family's money gambling.

When I play I do it occasionally, I don't do it very often, I'm not an addict either, I think that a person who is involved all day in a casino is addicted, not only because they spend money, but they are in a casino all day casino, my games in the casino are fast, they are to have fun and pass the time quickly, when I have free time and I'm at work I have finished my day, I finish my schedule, I go to my phones, I look for duelbtis and I enter to wait for even 1 minute, with that it's enough for me, if I'm going to lose or agnar, it happens at any moment, I just have to dare and that's it, when I play in debt I want to stay all day that I don't do I deny , but you have to have money to do and afford that luxury, and do it well, so as not to Invest more than you should , because Otherwise you lose ugly.

From the addiction the gambler will behave like animal for the money to the next game,when they don’t have enough money for the game.If the person start the gambling,he should learn the first rule of gambling.The gambling was build to give you some entertainment,it never created to give you huge jackpot many times.If you really had a chance of luck,you may win that jackpot and can uplift your life.But by waiting for the jackpot the gambler should not get addicted  by some loss.Some gambling addict will use multiple account in the same website using their family members kyc.The reason behind this was very simple the gambler may exist the daily deposit limit to play next match.

Thus people who have a busy schedule every day will have litle time in gambling, because there is a lot he needs to do or they get pleasure not dependent on gambling so that those who do such things can gamble responsibly, even if he wants to return to gamble, He will get a better coontrol in gambling activities, like I am today who has other activities such as college, exercise, gathering with family and running a small business, it all confiscates my thoughts and my energy, so that gambling is not too late to overshadow myself like previously.
If you want to do gambling, I don't have much time to gamble, even though I like to spend time on weekends, but filled with many activities, one hour playing gambling in one week is good for me today.

That is true, having multiple hobbies is one sure way to overcome addictions and taking a break becomes easier if you replace gambling with other hobbies and this is what has helped a lot of gambling addicts to overcome their addictions they addictions at some point, I have seen hardcore gamblers who was so messed up in his addictions, and wanting to quit he took a degree course and travelled for over a year and by the time he returns back he already overcame that addictions and that amazed quite a lot of us who knows the ops with his addiction problem.

Unless the person will switch between the original settings inside his daily activities, just following your sentiment since it's true that if you have a busy cycle in life, the chance of getting addicted is slim, not unless you allow changes inside you and you priority playing or gambling all day long and satisfy your lust.

Things that will really affect the right patterns that your daily activities will going to follow. You need that limitations and you need
to make sure that you will not let gambling to over dominated everything inside your mind.

I completely agree with you, and this is something I think I've stated in one of my comments on another thread, I talked about the mind never been empty, we are the fill it with something or something fills itself there, there is never a vacuum when it comes to the human mind, so for those who have other things they are doing like maybe a daily job they go to or a business they are running, getting addicted to gambling is almost impossible , I mean the chances is very low compared to those who have nothing else doing inside gambling, we can never stop saying this that gambling is mainly a way to have fun and not a business, those who wish to make gambling their business can just go ahead and open a casino.

When someone is addicted to gambling, this can cause an extraordinary domino effect which can not only harm themselves because they lose in gambling, but this can also cause losses to other people, especially their family. And hopefully we can all become wiser gamblers and do it responsibly without neglecting other responsibilities, especially to family.


Yes.. you are right. But this does not mean that everyone cannot control the gambling activities they do. I'm sure when someone is aware of the losses in the gambling activities they are doing, they will slowly try to control them. And be a responsible gambler. And it's just a matter of time, the sooner he realizes the "loss" he is experiencing, the sooner he will try to control himself.

As long as they can gamble with good self-control and don't overdo it, they're fine. The problem is that many people end up gambling with a lot of money because they think they can make money from gambling. And the self-control that was there at the beginning finally disappeared along with the increase in their greed level. That self-control is lost after winning because they see that they still have a chance to win in the next round. But the reality is that it's still difficult for them to win, but that doesn't stop them from trying to play gambling.

And it is true that we must be responsible when gambling because gambling is only for entertainment and not to make money. If they can't do it and just want to make money, they will fail and see a lot of their money being used for gambling without being able to win. That is the result of being irresponsible when they gamble.

That's true, we can try to help ourselves by getting busy with doing other important and valuable task that will render us unavailable for any form of irrelevant activities we do out of our free unoccupied times, we need to know to how we can venture our precious time on things that are of value to us, it's not about making a conclusion that our time spent in gambling on a casino is not worth it, but there are other means we can gamble and yet achieve our plans in doing other things without any being affected.

You've done a great job of showing the steps that lead to gaming addiction. Curiosity is like a double-edged sword, because it can lead some people to success and other people to ruin.

First of all, people are easily fooled by flashy videos that show "easy wins." However, you should know that gaming is not in your favor by its very nature. Casinos and internet gambling sites are set up to make money for themselves. For every win you can see, there are a lot of losses you can't see. It's not by making you rich that they make money. Both the algorithms and the chance are set up to work against you.

As for being responsible when gaming, you make a good point. However, telling a gambler to be responsible is like telling a fish to climb a tree. It's much better to push for strict rules and programs to teach people. Stop fooling yourself; gaming is not a playground!

At every time allocated to any human being we normally categorise it into two.  Time for work and time for fun. In order not to be addicted, you should not mix the time for work together with the time for fun. The time for work is always greater and when it is  just do your work and while it is time for fun you can go for gambling which is why it is said that gambling should be for fun. But for those who made gambling professional to them as their work, this means that both time for work and time for fun is allocated to gambling and that is where addiction comes to play.

In order not to be addicted. There should be a clear distinction between time for fun and time for work and gambling should be for fun and not as work.

Yes, it's true that you have to balance it with other activities, for example working, so you don't always think about gambling and spend time gambling. after all, usually people who don't have other activities tend to be more addicted, why can I control myself maybe because I have other activities, for example working on weekdays while gambling only on weekends.

For example, every day I never think about trying to gamble, after I get home from work, I take a break and come back to work tomorrow so I don't have time to think about it except at the weekend. I can just spend a few hours gambling, whether it's sports betting or gambling at the casino. just looking for fun, commitment is very important to make us gamble responsibly

Having something else in mind will allow you to free up some thoughts about your gambling activities, if you decide to focus your thinking into something different it surely help a lot, things getting worse if you are just minding your gambling and you are just focusing on how to satisfy your lust and desire, getting too deep and doing nothing to help yourself to quit away, things that can really put you in a lot of troubles in the long-term process.

More on your take in how to commit to other activities that will allow you to balance or possibly in making you to stay away from gambling.

This makes me remember some time ago , because I was very dedicated to Playing and gambling in the casino, my bets are not high, but I put a lot of thought into the Game , and it was something that I no longer liked, because I felt that the casino had me It was necessary, but since I was active in crossfit, my friends called me because they did not see that I was going to the gym, and not only because of the casino, but also because of my Commitment to work , it is something that cannot be neglected, for that reason and others also discover that doing other activities will help to Overcome the anxiety of a casino and that need to play that is sometimes so Difficult.

Each person does have that different level of control and discipline towards self on which it would really be just that normal that there are things which could really be able to influence the way you do live basing up

on what you do see from others on which it is really that something that could really later out your decisions or your beliefs or things that you do have in mind. Gambling isnt a bad thing, the only bad comes when the time that you are already spending up that more than on which you can afford to lose on which it does simply shows out that you arent really that good when it comes to self control just because of the action that you had done. Gambling is for fun but having that too much fun and coming into a point that you are already spending on the money which arent supposed to be spent had already been used then this is where
problem do starts.
You should really be that responsible when it comes to gambling activity. If you dont make yourself that mindful about your actions then you would be finding yourself into that demise situation
where money is your big concern or main problem.

Without a doubt the best way to overcome the temptation to gamble when you do not really feel like it is to have many other hobbies which offer you the same kind of entertainment and joy, this way instead of thinking what you are missing by not gambling you can just engage in those other hobbies and get as much fun, with the advantage the majority of the hobbies out there may require an initial investment, but after that you can engage on the hobby basically for free.
