Everything that is excess is bad including gambling, I mean for it wasn't actually bad to gamble some things as long as you know your limitations on your gambling.


Too much stress
Anxiety and Depression
Debt
Making wrong decisions


This was probably the reason why we shouldn't let ourselves get addicted to gambling, I believed this kind of addiction can be fixed with the right discipline. Too much stress, and anxiety. depression was the last thing you would really want, it's very difficult if you have this kind of thing every day on your mind, peace is probably the best thing that you could have every day.

Gambling for me is for fun and entertainment, you could win and lose on your every game and probably put a big amount of money into it, but if you lose then you lose just accept it and try again another time, that is just how life works you can't win every time. I mean it was supposed to be fun right? But most people just take it seriously and gamble every day or just get greedy and gamble a large amount of money that is probably all of their savings, wanting to take shortcuts and easily get rich I guess.

Everything that is too much will also have a negative consequences with time, this calls for us to always maintain a stable and flexible kind of lifestyle in gambling, winning a bet when we gamble is not by how reliable we are or being committed to that gambling platform, neither does it has to do with the amount of money we are using as stake to gamble with at that particular moment, luck is not always, it's occassional.

This is something that not only happens with gambling but it is very common at other activities, an example of this are video games, in which a person may want to play for some more minutes, minutes which then morph into hours.

Then it is important that people set themselves a time limit when they gamble, something which is trivial these days as even the most outdated smartphone out there should have an alarm and allow us to not gamble for a longer time period than what we intended.
I think we've all experienced it, whether in video games or gambling. And indeed, it can change everything because by continuing to play whatever it is, we can forget what we want to do. And if it's in gambling, we can experience defeat after defeat and if that happens, we can only regret it and lament why we didn't decide to stop and leave the casino.

Using an alarm to warn us can be a solution to stop immediately but we must really be able to follow those limits. Many people have limits on gambling but fail to follow them because the temptation to gamble is too hard to resist.

In my opinion, if someone knows his true nature, it means if he knows that he has a vulnerable nature or is easily provoked, it is better to avoid gambling because this will have a very bad impact on one's life. In addition, it is very difficult to know the true nature of a person's personality in him. Seeing other people entangled in gambling and losing everything, in my opinion, can be used as a reference so that we don't do the same thing or be in the same position. However, most people are curious, addicted when they win, and curious when they lose. They always think that they can be one of the lucky people among other people and are too optimistic, but if we think more clearly this is just luck, meaning they will win if luck comes.
Self-control is very important and anyone who have the character of self-control, make it very easy for such a person to leave successfully with others and be able to avoid some things such as gambling addictions and other addiction that may affect individual life negatively.

Gambling addiction is one serious negative factor that affects the overall acceptance of gambling in many places but if an individual has self-control then the case will be easy to deal with because there have been an increasing number of gambling addiction behavioural patterns among many recently.
You know, sometimes, maybe hardly ever, some people tend to lose self-control after getting into things like gambling or having drugs and doing other stuff that is addictive, they basically aren't that way but when they get involved and their minds get trapped, they find it difficult to get out after that and they lose the ability to control themselves or their mind, with some help from others, they might be able to get out of their addictions though.

I generally feel bad for people who get addicted to things and find it difficult to stop doing that thing, I've seen people who wish to leave their addictions but they say that it is not possible now because when they try, it almost becomes like a matter of life and death for them.

Indeed, the person you've been conversing with has presented an astute observation of human behavior in relation to gambling. Betting is analogous to a moth being drawn to a flame. Despite the inevitable harm, it is irresistibly lured by the prospect of light.

The psychological trap of "just one more bet" is a potent one. It's akin to the infamous paradox of Achilles and the tortoise. Despite all logical indicators suggesting otherwise, gamblers believe they can catch up with their losses.

The subsequent regret is a fundamental aspect of the human condition. We often fail to act in our best interests, leading to remorse, which unfortunately is short-lived. It's somewhat similar to the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance.
"Just one more bet" really works for many gamblers so they are willing to use their money more than before. They think that by raising the stake one last time, they are betting it all but the result is not going their way. And in the end, it is the casino that takes all the winnings.

That is a condition where the gambler has a choice: to stop or continue. But most gamblers will choose to continue playing. After all, they said this was one last bet and no regrets whatsoever. But it turned out that in one last bet, the reality spoke differently because they all lost. It makes many people regret why they didn't stop immediately but instead decided to make one last bet before going home.

Yes you are right that mate Self control is the header of all aspects because without a self control then you don't have any limitations of yourself, and that's a big mistake that a man or woman made. Self control is for our safety only so beyond that line there are many temptation want to break you,  so you need to double your security by t self control and limitations. And the best thing is if we are new to gambling then we need to gamble what we afford to lose.
Take for example, when you work for someone else or the government, every workforce day is a happy day but when you are. Self-employed or into business, work free day is a losing day since you have to make the money you spend and likewise gambling self-control,  once you know your life is at stake. And there is a need to apply some self-exclusion to avoid possible issues it will be necessary to avoid and apply a brake to whatever we do online and gambling is one of those things we must apply self-control on.

  -   When self-control is used correctly, it will followed by self-limitation, therefore losses can be avoided. Because most of the time gambler cannot get rid of the words "I will bet again because I feel that this time I will be right and I will recover my loss" these kinds of thoughts are what drives them that they don't realize they are getting loss continously without noticing it.

Then in the end they will say that "I should have stopped betting earlier so I wouldn't have led to a big loss" their regret its too too late.
Thoughts like that can trap gamblers to keep betting because they think this one round will be the last time they gamble and will stop after that. Even though this is not the case because most of them will continue to say things like that because they think one last round will recover their losses. And what's even worse, many of them immediately place bets with big money so that the losses will be even bigger when they lose.

After that loss, they said they were sorry but oddly enough, they didn't realize it the next day when they gambled again. And that caused them to experience another defeat that could be even bigger.

An addicted gambler continues to bet as long as he has money to manage betting. When a gambler lost his entire bankroll, he returns to his normal life and regrets many things during that time. The important point in this factor is that the gambler must pay attention to these things before becoming addicted. Otherwise there is no benefit in focusing on it after losing all assets. That's why it's important for a gambler to learn how to control his self in gambling.

I watched a lot of videos with people who were addicted to gambling - someone from sports betting and someone from games. And how they were able to overcome their addiction, often at great cost. Such videos are the best motivators to keep yourself in hand and remember about self-discipline. So these people have always been left with a sense of dependence, and they are afraid to approach gambling, and it's sad and scary. It's like a bad stigma for life, which about others know and you always remeber about it.
Therefore, friends, do not forget about the control of your actions and thoughts.

Yes, we still have to learn more about self-control because we often lose control when gambling. And there's no time to stop learning self-control because it's hard to do. But even though it's difficult, we still have to learn and try it because only that can prevent us from losing big. And even though many people have failed to control themselves, we must not give up and keep learning so we can gamble responsibly. After all, if we can do that, we will also benefit from that self-control to limit our gambling activities.
In my opinion, if someone knows his true nature, it means if he knows that he has a vulnerable nature or is easily provoked, it is better to avoid gambling because this will have a very bad impact on one's life.

Then in the end they will say that "I should have stopped betting earlier so I wouldn't have led to a big loss" their regret its too too late.

Yeah when we say regret, it is always at the end.  It is the feeling of having the burden of a wrong decision.  So if we wanted to avoid it, we must allocate the amount we can afford to lose and control ourselves firmly.
Most gamblers are almost like that, even I'm not a hypocrite, sometimes I feel sorry at the end when I'm lulled by a game that gives me consecutive wins, but I forget that my initial goal was not to play for money but to have fun, knowingly that I had achieved pleasure and spending money. for my daily gambling is up I will stop with the game when I have reached satisfaction.

Everyone knows that regret always comes at the end of the game, but true gamblers who know the risks of gambling will not care about regret because all they have to do is accept defeat and risk gracefully, because I'm sure all gamblers play gambling consciously so why regret it also will not return anything that has been lost.

We should also not expects this emotional imbalance with gamblers to have a solution coming from the gambling platforms, they would rather want a continuation of it and if possible with an addition, because that's part of the means they make their own money from, they are not after the control of our experience and consequences we are placed with, if we cannot condole a modest life experience with gambling, should they be the ones to fix that up for us?

There is nothing responsible about gambling and as a matter of fact, gamblers are mostly referred to as responsible people and in some countries, gambling is banned and citizens that indulge in them are arrested.

But then we still have a few others who can control their gambling urge, and this reflects in the kind of choices they make.
Gambling is just a form of entertainment and nothing more, so the majority of the gamblers out there can in fact gamble responsibly, it is just that there are a few addicted gamblers out there which give it a bad reputation, however for some reason people react very harshly against it, after all if I were to guess the number of addicted gamblers and the number of people addicted to video games, the latter should be a much larger number and yet there is not a public outcry to ban video games, something we do see against gambling from time to time.

High self-awareness is an ability that everyone must have, especially if they are active gamblers because without that ability, gamblers will only bring themselves down because the expectations they have for the results of their gambling do not match the reality that is happening.  i once met someone who came out of the casino and still put on a relaxed face even though he had lost a lot, when I asked what the secret was, he became self-aware because i was ready for whatever happened to my gambling today whether i would lose or win.
Well, you are mostly right, one of the outstanding benefits of being aware of self in gambling is that it helps a gambler deal with losses easily, like the man you said came out of a gambling casino with a smiling face, there are times where by I start feeling really angry couple of hours after ending a gambling session, simply due to loses  I incurred in that session, it simply  means I wasn't really aware of myself while I was gambling., I started feeling angry after I came back to my senses - this is how many gamblers operate, I've come across a lot them like that.
The earlier you do make out those realizations the better because if you do find yourself that being that blind and tolerating your spending without even trying to look on how much you've been spending. Then for sure you would really be having that disastrous situation in regarding finances. You should really always have that set a border line or fine line about or speaking about limitation because we know that
if things turns out to be messy then if you have spent out all of your money in gambling then sooner or later you would be finding out that you dont have something to pull on your pocket
and even spending up your life savings. This is where the problem starts to kick in.

People would really be only making out those self realizations on the time that they are on a hard situation on which it isnt really that something shocking in correlating this stuff or something that
connects in real life situations.

Well, you are mostly right, one of the outstanding benefits of being aware of self in gambling is that it helps a gambler deal with losses easily, like the man you said came out of a gambling casino with a smiling face, there are times where by I start feeling really angry couple of hours after ending a gambling session, simply due to loses  I incurred in that session, it simply  means I wasn't really aware of myself while I was gambling., I started feeling angry after I came back to my senses - this is how many gamblers operate, I've come across a lot them like that.
