Those that approach it with caution and forethought can learn a lot about odds, probability, and risk management, in my opinion. I agree that the stakes should be low enough that we can afford to lose them, but I also believe that the process of analysis has far-reaching benefits, including the development of better decision-making abilities in a wide range of contexts

Beyond gambling, the ability to stop is a valuable life skill. It might be applied to a business choice, a terrible habit, or a poisonous relationship. The conversation has to expand beyond gambling to the development of more generally useful talents

This is a very good idea but I bet people don't regard it until it's too late. I wonder if anyone will decide to first listen to or watch about the bad side of gambling before they do it, they unfortunately, go straight to the deal and the results might either be adventurous or bad to them depending on how they are matured or let their emotions to control them.

But to those who are addicted, those videos/documentary might help them to pull out of it as it could be a very good chance for them, particularly if it's coming from true people that was badly hit by it but eventually got delivered.

Responsible gambling allows us to prevent the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling because we know that gambling can really tempt us by providing promotions that make us want to join. By moderating ourselves, it can be good self-control while gambling so that we don't lose much money at the gambling table. But gambling addicts who want to recover have to be fully aware that the problem is with them, and they have to seek help from others if they cannot overcome it.

Asking for help from the people around them can give gambling addicts hope to recover. The desire to recover from gambling addiction will be even greater when the people around him really show their help. And everyone's plan to help the gambling addict will really work when the gambling addict can really recover from his gambling addiction.

Recently, I came up with the idea that addicted people need to watch videos from interviews with the same addicted people as they are more often. I saw a couple of these videos, where people talk about how they started playing (spontaneously) and how they sank to the bottom. It's really scary. They also tell how they live now, mostly with huge debts that they are trying to pay off.
In these videos they would recognize themselves, which could prevent them from playing out of control.

Responsible gambling is really the way to avoid gambling addiction since it applies gambling moderation and self-control.  And for those gambling addicts that wanted to be cured of addiction and at the same time avoide relapses, it is best to look for medical advice and treatment.


Well, gamblers should first realize that they are addicted and wanted to be cured to start the treatment.  Without the realization and wanting to be cured, all the efforts to help the gambling addict will only be in vain.

Gambling addicts can commit to avoiding certain things and lifestyles but are unlikely to do it for long because they will return to gambling if their mind is still on gambling. Therefore, it's best for those who haven't experienced gambling addiction don't gamble beyond the money they can afford and always try to stop after they feel you have had enough of gambling. If you can do that, you don't need to worry about the problem of gambling addiction because you can take good care of yourself. But if you are already addicted to gambling, you must ask for help from other people to help you because it is not easy to get out of gambling.

They will only get a worse gambling addiction because they are in denial about their gambling addiction instead of wanting to cure it. That is why we really have to be able to manage our finances, especially the money we use for gambling. If not, we will just deposit the money without being able to get a win, and we can even experience so many losses that we can't even notice it. And when we are aware of it, we are already addicted to gambling which is difficult to cure.

 Irresponsible gambling have lead many people to make very big mistakes in life, gambling is not a bad thing but there are several harmful effect it could cause when people fail to apply the risk management in it, these effect are very harmful and could lead one to death, imagine losing a huge sum of money maybe the one you borrowed or money for rent to gambling, you could develop a high blood pressure and die that's why it's advised that people should be very cautious while gambling, the best way to see gambling is as a form of entertainment, not a major source of income or a place where you go double your money, because success is not 100% guaranteed, you might make profit and you might lose as well, therefore it's also wise to bet with a money you could lose without having remorse, nobody  willingly lose money but as an individual you must have a spare cash asides from the one meant for other bills, so that spare cash is the one that you should use to try out luck since gambling is a game of chance.
 Another thing is that people don't know when to quit, you'll see someone losing up to 100$ daily and making little profits in return but would continue playing and believe they'll win a jackpot someday, yes there's a probability of that happening but chances are low and before you realise you've lost more than enough money to the platform, knowing when to quit makes one a responsible gambler because it would help you to study the game and strategise on games with low risk also it would help avoid reckless spending and much loss of funds

Basically, if gambling is in the blood of those who gamble, it is very difficult to get out of it. A gambling addict can never stop gambling, just like a drug addict can never stop intoxicating for a day, same is the case with a gambler. Must control oneself while gambling so as not to become addicted to gambling. And if you can control yourself from this while gambling, then you can prevent yourself from becoming addicted to gambling in the future only if you do not harm yourself in the future by gambling.

A long process I believe, there's still chances that even you are away for a while in gambling once chances cross your path and you are given that opportunity to try playing again, that open the chance of getting hook back and have that same problem again, it's a needed will-power to control and not to let yourself be engaged.

Just like how you mentioned those things that will really help out, it's a need that you should keep practicing from time to time to avoid
making another mistake in life.


Noting that those who are keep denying the addiction inside them are keep digging the problem deeper, I mean the more they deny that fact the more they got engage and lost a lot, maybe there are some who can cope up and manage their finances, but the chance is too slim for that percentage, most are falling to addiction and it's really a hard addiction to fix.

Gambling addiction is curable and there is remedy for it but it needs persistence and careful carefulness to help a victim. Meanwhile, a self conscious person can be able to refrain from gambling if they read some articles that are helpful to them.
According to the recommendation of Onyeeze, relocation out of casino area is not the ultimate. These days anyone that has access to the internet can gamble without letting anyone know.

This sounds great, but single people ? that they don't have many friends, or that they have but they have been given by their environment, they are in other countries or something, that is where the big problem lies, there are People who do not have a Family , and they get love or comfort in a casino , maybe playing and earning money, but the moment you lose it is when everything gets complicated, for that reason one of the things that should be done when you are falling into addiction is to stop anyway, because a person who spends the money they he uses for his food is worrisome, he cannot do it as a vice, that is what he must control, at the moment the player does not care much about Spending money , the bad thing is when he begins to see that Things get Complicated.

Aside from that which you mentioned about seeking help from friends and family to keep you ahead out of gambling addiction it make more sense for the addict to also make personal commitment by avoiding certain things and life style that could keep his mind sliding back I to gambling at each point and this is the primary thing to be done even before seeking any professional help like visiting a rehab for help to quit gambling.
The best thing to do is to avoid getting addicted to gambling in the first place before even trying to get out of it an addiction because quitting addiction is not always easy.

I agree that gambling addiction is a quite severe thing but I don't thing the analogy is correct because in a sense blood can be removed from body and we all have seen that with blood donors when they have donated the blood out of their body for the ones who needed that blood. The gambling addiction can also be fixed, but it's a very tough task to make an addicted person to stop gambling because you know such users would try their best to continue gambling even if you put them behind bars.

I only effective strategy to stop those gamblers from gambling is to make them fall in love with something that's better than gambling and with that thing they can forget other things. For some people true love is that thing because a gambler often searches for a true love and when they can't find that then they start building that love with gambling. For such a person love can cure gambling addition and it has been tested out that strong emotion of love and empathy can eliminate additions.

Well, this debate is Interesting, because it is as they say, Emotions cause many Feelings to be found, including anger and sadness, I think they are bad combinations when mixed with alcohol, because Basically they can Arouse bad feelings to take Everything outside.

For this reason, playing responsibly implies that the emotions that we do not know how to have, that euphoria and experiencing bad feelings, can and should be controlled, because otherwise, due to the effects of anything, we can lead ourselves to do things that should not be . In fact, some people even try to kill in a game, it is because the emotions are already a guest of the person and that is what should not be allowed.

There are times when in physical casinos players are offered alcoholic beverages and that sometimes makes people get rid of things, it also allows some to express their emotions, and others then lose control and cannot control themselves later, that is It becomes a problem, because the game by itself is embarrassing and due to the effects of other things, if there is no necessary control, accidents can occur. In this sense, when we enter a casino we must control everything, from our steps to the last dollar as our behavior, that is key in casinos, and in online casinos things are different because emotions are already part of our own decisions in the way that we are going to play, it depends solely and exclusively on our control.

And it seems that seeking help from family and professionals is a way out for gambling addicts so they can heal themselves from gambling addiction. But unfortunately, we know that only a few gambling addicts are willing to admit that they are addicted to gambling, while others try to deny it and say that they are not. Keep betting but learn to control yourself so that you are not easily tempted by the offers you see in the casino. Many have lost control when they see these attractive offers and try to get them, but the truth is that they feel the difficulty.

Being able to evaluate oneself that you have a gambling addiction is a good sign because you still have the awareness within yourself. Seeking help from your family and professionals will give you higher chances of overcoming such addiction. Lot of of setbacks is expected, but just keep on betting that you can overcome your gambling addiction.

Every individual's brain chemistry and ability to control impulses vary greatly. For some, gambling might trigger a euphoric response that they start to crave, leading to addiction. Its not as black and white as saying its just a "habit". Its like the internet - some people can resist the pull of mindless scrolling, while others find it impossible.

Though I do agree that efforts can be taken to break this addiction cycle, the journey might not be as straightforward as you make it out to be. Breaking habits is like fighting an armoured knight with a butter knife; its challenging, but not impossible.

I totally agree with you here. Gambling is a fan activity and if you become addicted to it then there are some good reasons. You can become addicted because you were left with a lot of money and no one would care about that money or because there was no one who could supervise you and had control aver you.
