The best way to show your independence in any case is to temporarily abandon this case. Similarly, the same applies to gaming addiction, or just a strong attraction to the game.
It is important not only to step back and do something else, but also to notice how often you think about gambling or betting. If day after day you forget about them, then that's great. And this is an indicator that you have a lot of other interests that take up your time and attention.
It can be a family, ordinary computer games, drawing, walking down the street or any other hobby.

Well, It is actually lack of control over ones habit that give room for greediness, which is also directly or indirectly the same thing as not being content, to thrive..

Lack of control is not just about not being able to control one self, it's like a tree standing, it has many branches, and one of the branches of lack of control over ones habit, is greed.
Think about it, one who has control over himself will know when to draw the limit, and also will not allow greed to take the better part of their self, so being greedy, also not contented all boils down to lack of self control.

It's good to take that challenge to you, as if you can really push it then you can assure to yourself that you are still in control, if you can do it from time to time and still manage to keep on what's the goal. What is important here is you know what to do and you know how to control your own self.

With such a good limitation, you can continue playing back, enjoying or aiming for something decent out of your gambling activities.

As long as you can quit the moment you decide it, then you are good to go and maybe you are still far from any possible addictions.

We need to always make efforts to demonstrate ourselves that we are in control even if we do not feel we are showing any signs of addiction, for example sometimes I just decide randomly to stop gambling for at least a month, and I do this because a person that really had problems controlling their gambling will never be able to do something like this, so once I spend a month or even a longer period of time without gambling I have demonstrated myself that I have no problems and I can keep gambling as usual.

I agree with you in many words, but I am still sure that constant games can cause addiction. For example, a person will play on the first weekend, then on the second, then again, and it turns out that he will already be constantly thinking on weekdays about how to relax on weekends. Therefore, it is better not only to limit yourself in the deposit, which is very useful, but also not to make the games permanent. We need to look for other sources of entertainment, and make sure that they can fully replace gambling.
This is the only way of self-control. Tough and hard.
And let it be hard, but no one can control us as much as we do. And the ability to control yourself is very important both in gambling and in any games.

People often choose number one because they are not busy with their routine work on weekends and can relax. This makes them use their free time by playing gambling, although not many spend their weekends gambling. But this is what we encounter most often, whether from our friends or ourselves.

For number two, I think it is correct to allocate a deposit for playing gambling and not exceed it if it has been used for gambling. And if your income is not large, it is better for you to discourage gambling because it can cause you to lose and maybe spend your income just to gamble.

To be a responsible gambler, you must be able to train yourself to set limits and apply them well. Without practice, you will not be able to have a responsibility, especially in gambling, where the temptation to continue gambling will come stronger. And if you can't take responsibility for yourself, you will probably keep playing, and over time, you can become addicted to gambling. There is nothing wrong with practicing responsibility in gambling because it is proper and good for us. There are already many gamblers out there who have lost their responsibility and, in the end, will only become gambling addicts. We must avoid this so that gambling does not destroy our lives.

Self awareness
Self control
Self discipline
Common sense
Good balancing on things

You wouldn't really be putting yourself into trouble because you wouldn't really get addicted into it because you do know on how to handle up yourself and you've been wary and aware
on what are the things that should really be done and be avoided so that you wouldn't really get addicted. I have seen people who had been continously been playing gambling
but even up all to this time they werent be able to make themselves to be addicted since they are only allocating on the funds or amounts that they could afford to lose
which its always been that considerable on doing so.

If being practice correctly it can really help to avoid any addictions, you are saving both your time and your money if you can properly balance your engagement into gambling, though it' always easier said than done, as we always at risk when we already enjoying and our appetite in gambling is already increasing.

It's on how you take your responsibility and always minding yourself if you are already exceeding to prevent any harm from happening.

If you still have that control to stop, then it's still good for you not to allow any potential addiction to take place.

Casinos know how to play on the emotional feelings of gamblers, so they will let them win at the start, so it's no wonder if you open a new account, you will be given a win, usually people who are smart, they will withdraw money and then leave, but casinos know that they are only humans who are greedy that's why the casino without having to ask them back, they will continue to play because they will think that they are having good luck and are great.

Casinos play on the emotions of gamblers so they can be controlled not the other way around, that's why it's important to control yourself before playing gambling you have to know when to stop playing and when to play, I'm also not a perfect gambler because I still make mistakes but I think there's nothing wrong with sharing my thoughts , fortunately I only gamble for fun on weekends unlike those who are trapped with their emotions so that they become addicts willing to spend assets to gamble.

The fact is that we can play:

1) periodically, for example on weekends. But then it is important that this does not happen all the time, because as they say, "the habit is formed from the third time." Therefore, I suggest playing two weekends and then taking a mandatory break. So the probability of getting an obsessive desire to play will be minimal.

2) Spontaneously. In this case, in order to control yourself, you need to allocate yourself a certain amount of deposit and not go beyond it for a certain period. For example, to make it $200 a month. Here everyone will individually come up with a deposit amount based on their earnings and capabilities.

By gambling responsibly, we don't need to worry that later we will become addicted to gambling because we can still balance time, money, and other activities properly to enjoy gambling still. And that's exactly what we should do so that we can really think of gambling as entertainment and won't get addicted to gambling. We can gamble whenever we want and stop before it's too late.

And it's also okay if we can't win because we know that gambling is just a game and we depend on luck. While luck cannot come too often, and without us being able to predict it, it is better for us just to enjoy gambling as it should be and let luck come to us.

There are many disadvantages of excessive gambling that we need to talk about, and I do hope that newbies who plan to start gambling will learn something from this thread.

Gambling is not for everyone, some people tend to always get attached to whatever they do in their lives, too caring, too foodie, too protective, all these comes with disadvantages too, because I believe that too much of everything is bad.

If you are someone like this, stay away from gambling.


In the Gambling case, it's a different story entirely, if humans can get used to drugs, alcohol, and other harmful things in this category how much more trying to make money off gambling?

It is easier to start dteaming about quitting your job one day and retire in your 30s, you know what I am talking about, those weird dreams that one never dreamt about when working in a company from 8am to 5pm everyday.

Here are some Negative effects of excessive gambling.

Too much stress
Anxiety and Depression
Debt
Making wrong decisions

And if all these is active in one's life low self-esteem is sure to follow, many people messed up their lives by gambling and they don't know when they start borrowing money, or selling off properties because of gambling until they have nothing left.

Thier families are the one who got caught up in the mess, imagine a family man that has a home to take care of ending up losing everything to gambling and start living a wrecked life, I have seen a lot.

My advice for upcoming gamblers reading this thread today, always makes sure you gamble like a responsible man. Remember where you came from and think about your children and family.  

Gambling must not be your path to success, you will get rekt very fast.

Do not build any dreams around gambling at all.

Gamble for fun only, using small money that you aren't needing, and think about losing that money first, to make sure that you won't be needing the money if it's gone.

Take a break.

Play for fun.

Don't chase your losses.

Stick to your Limits.

Gamble Responsibly.


[/quote] I know of someone who can put all he has on gambling, but even as that there's no greater benefit he has gain... Some years ago I was in a spot betting shop where I came across to someone who stake a bet of to win some milions of Naira, at first the money came out 5m but he was not okay with that so had to add two other games that increased the price to 15m, now a friend of mine who took me there had to play the game before he added those two.
Now after all the game played but on of the two he added had to cut him, wish made him regret, why my friend who copied the game won his bet!
So unfortunate he saw a chashout before the end of the game but he didn't chashout cuz he needed big...

In gambling you can't predict was to come it's all grace and luck.
Whatever his set let it be don't be selfish, just be okay with what you see

Many gamblers have committed same mistake and in most of the cases its not actually because they lack control over their habits, I like to think that greediness and not being content also plays a major contributory factor for this gambler to have actually gone A-wire and lost control to the extent of even selling his motor bike and other stuffs.

It can be classified as responsible gambling if you are in control of your gambling habit. I mean, if you carefully analyze your bets and assess both your money and time and are still doing a good balance of your time, then yes, it can be called responsible gambling, especially if you are betting on sports that you fully understand and can utilize the chances of winning.

Though there's no accurate outcome or accurate prediction, the chance is good if you know the game and the player or fighter that's playing.

That's right, unfortunately addiction is an abyss. And when I watch videos about repentant ludomaniacs, it always hurts a lot.
After all, this trouble affects not only individual people, but also their families. And I can't even imagine how scary it is when your loved one is erased as a person and begins to be dependent, taking valuables out of the house. It's good that the percentage of addicts is not as high as everyone used to think. As far as I remember, no more than 8 percent. Although according to the general stereotype, all people think that if you gamble, then you are addicted.

When we do the right thing, we should not always plan for the best rather for a good result especially as a gambler that have the mindset to make some winnings in the market. Those we do see that keep making profits from the market do not have two hands and are people that are always ready to take decisions that will not affect them later like gambling with too much funds that if they lose, it could affect there gambling result and make them to be depressed.

 Those that know the secret of gambling wi tell us that gambling too quickly without doing any findings or entering the market without having a good winning strategies can make our day bad because we can only be making betting like a child that is walking in the street without no destination. Luck can be another thing that can stepup our results and make us a profitable gambler because we are doing the right thing always.

 If we don't plan ourselves just like the way traders plan there day before entering the market, we could end up gambling Iike a child that is walking in the street without no destination. We ought to do things appropriately so that we can be having a significant results that will make us stay in the gambling world for long with a lot of profits that will boost other gamblers to try as much to gamble with a plan not blindly.

That is why gambling requires responsibility and others so as not to experience big losses. Even if they hope to win, it will be difficult for them to win because the gambler's luck determines gambling. Indeed, perhaps only a few gamblers can be responsible and win big. But other than that, some gamblers can win big, and instead of stopping, they continue to gamble so that their winnings run out at the end of the game. And that is the fault of the gambler, who has no responsibility in gambling, so he cannot get the winning money.

The important thing for them is that they can still bet, and lucky are those who have a responsibility in betting because they won't just waste their money and only choose to bet on sports or matches with teams they know. The rest, they won't bet at all rather than lose. Some can restrain themselves from betting on every game and only bet when they know the team. And they are called responsible gamblers because they don't have to bet on many games.

That is if they can moderate their activity in gambling, but most gamblers will not be able to because the temptation from gambling is very strong and can make them come back again. Maybe only a small percentage can minimize the negative effects of gambling, while others will not think about it and instead use more money to gamble. They don't realize how many losses they have experienced because they only think about continuing to play. And it's a mistake if they can't change it because they will lose more money.

When a gambler is really addicted to addiction we can't really do what they can do in the name of money that they get a big jackpot in the casino, that's their only desire, they won't stop until they get it unconsciously big that the missing funds to them.
And sometimes even just to be able to gamble, he will even sell his other property at home just to have it equal to a casino gambling platform here in cryptocurrency. It's a painful thing to imagine an addicted gambler doing.

That's disturbing if true that the number has increased. I said "if true" because it's never certain, this is just a rough estimate, but what we can be certain about is that it is far from being the majority. Problem gamblers should know that it is not normal to be a gambling addict, and it's not the online gambling to blame but themselves.

I disagree with the widespread belief that a solitary indicator of addiction is the frequency with which one gambles or the total amount wagered. In reality, there is some gray area here. What about the person whose betting is modest but whose mind is constantly on the next wager? Or the person who goes all out once a week but considers gaming a fun, regulated diversion? I argue that the root of addiction is not just in the behavior but also in the psyche. Is there compulsive thinking, a need to play, or uneasiness when gambling is not involved? Addiction manifests itself in these ways.

Similarly, during the off-seasons for sports betting, a person may decide to switch sports not because of an irrational urge to wager, but rather because they enjoy the excitement of the unknown. That line separates an enthusiastic participant from an addicted one.
