Changing the mindset will help us not to become addicts because with the aim of making money at gambling will make us not enjoy the game and only focus on winning and eventually losing after that we will continue to force ourselves to gamble willingly to sell whatever we have to continue gambling to unconsciously become poor because of gambling. self-control before gambling is important and responsible
Have you considered the fact that with money on the line to be made it can also make the game more fun and entertaining. I can't imagine playing poker without money been risked. It becomes more entertaining as you are playing under the pressure of losing or wining money.
While gambling makes the game more entertaining for some people, that doesn't mean we should go overboard by selling our belongings just because want to raise capital that'll be used in gambling, anybody doing that isn't practicing safety precaution to avoid addictions.
The moment any gambler begins selling his belongings that means he isn't gambling responsibly and that can be very dangerous to both their mental health and finances because you become addicted and will do anything possible to get cash to keep playing which is wrong.
On that note, it means that your willingness to sell your belongings already a sign that your engagement inside gambling is already deep and that's a sign of a person that will end up getting addicted, it's a hard thing to control when your willingness to entertain your lust and desire to keep playing whatever the cost will harm you or will lead you in suffering in the long run.
It should be more on entertainment and contentment, being responsible always accompany by precautions, and it should be both mentality and financially.
If you are exceeding, then you need to reset everything or better to pause for a while and re-assess, else, the chance of failing to control always has the bad side effects.
