One thing about the gambling addiction that you would not have any consciousness about how you got addicted to it. Many of the players used to come just for fun but the ultimate gambling becomes their addiction. Like all other addiction, it is too much harmful too. When a gambler is gambling with lots of money he is risking his economical status and even of his family. His mind is so diversed by the gambling that his mood becomes very much arrogant.

Indeed, addiction is very severe, it really affects the life of each user so much, and it will affect others too, gambling is not really bad, it is depends on the gambler on how we interact and how we dealt with every winning and losing of our game, we need to put all in moderation and make all things be in our control, most espcially ourselves in which we need to take care , our emotions can affect our gameplay.
It always depends on the gambler if how they treat the gambling casinos there are some people are addicted to gambling but why they still stand like a normal player. If you can control your addiction it won't become worst.

Then they are probably not addicted to it. They just love gambling because of whatever reasons they've got. They are just there because they can afford to or are having fun or probably have a lot of time to kill.

An addict gambler is not anymore a normal player. You cannot control your addiction. Addiction in the first place is already a disease which renders the victim unable to control his urges. The vice or whatever it is that the victim is addicted to is the one controlling the brain and the body of the victim.

People who treat gambling as a source of income well that's different it is not a part of addiction because they can control their self to bet large or of they win they will stop to take the profit but for those people treat gambling as a game(Just like a child who addicted on the game) well, those people are addicted and day by day they have become worst that could bet a large amount of money in a single bet/game. If you are in this case it can lead to losing so much money that will end up selling things and property. That's the worst thing for an addicted gambler that treating it as a game.

Quote from: Triffin link=topic=5200442.msg53553264#msg53553264
Every thing remains good if we use it moderately but if we will start access use it can harm us and we can become addicted that’s why we should use gambling  but in limit and try not to be affected as a gambling addicted spend limited time in gambling and spend other for other activities. When you think you can control yourself only then jump in gambling.
It will be a must , we need to put everything in moderation , I experienced it myself,last year I gamble and I've lose to many money, I push myself to get back what I already been lost  ,but it only worsten the situation , gladly I did not end up being an addict, because I still have a control in every game and in every budget that I have.

Although many fall victim to their selfishness on gambling sites. Gambling addiction is the most dangerous condition that could lead to a total accident that could lead to the death of a gambler. Have seen a lot of gamblers who died as a result of their careless attitude towards gambling. Gambling is one of the investments that could yield services that are fast and reliable. If you're smart about it, gambling will bring a good return.

Gambling addiction can make someone don't want to leave the games, and he wants to play more and more. He can lose everything he has, and he will not have a chance to recover his losses because gambling is not a way to make money or recovering his money. Gambling will not just make someone go to death, but his family will also feel the pain from that person. His family will be sad if they know that they lose that person too. Only a few people can get benefits of gambling, and that people will have good control for themselves.
After death his family really feel extreme pain but gambling addiction at worst is a thing which also create the issues for the gambler family and he continuously give pain to his family by spending their money on gambler. Many times he steal money from his home and the bad situation comes to the family when he start to steal money from other people.

You examined the mind set of the real gamblers I believe because I don't see that much heavy screwed and Crooked mind cryptocurrency gamblers ever here in this forum or elsewhere.
If we want to skip the gambling industry it is purely based on the mindset and mental power of that person.
I simply suggest other play gambling until get bored when you have more money if you don't have simply ridoff from that.

Any type of addiction may or may not be gambling, because all addicts can do something horrible to the extent that it costs life and others. I'm gambling but I've made sure I'm gambling moderately because I don't want to be so addicted to gambling and I haven't done anything as dumb as what OP said. Gambling should only be treated as another way to have fun and enjoy to avoid serious addiction. Because in a long term you can never make a living.

That is right. Once we become addicted, we will hard to leave gambling because our mind will always think about gambling, and we will play even if we only have little money. Addicted to gambling can make us borrow some money from other people because we can feel that our luck comes, and that makes us play every time. And in the long term, we will not have a chance to get out of gambling, we will want to play more and more, and even if we win, we want to play again because sometimes winning is not stop us from playing gambling.
addiction is bad , people get addicted fast to which they get instant fun and enjoyment and they want to repeat them because its easy to repeat and if they win they think of doing it more , we should control our addiction before it makes things worst
I believe that anything that has an addiction word in it is bad because even you know that addiction can be in a positive way if it's too much it is still bad in the end and of course gambling also I personally witness and experience the addiction in gambling, way back 2017 my friend and I discover a gambling game in internet that has crypto services, and we invite more of our friends and to tell you I regret doing that thing because we all become addicted and end up regretting everything because of losing many things in our life luckily I get through to it, but my other friends didn't they continue and eventually gone broke. So my point is yes, gambling is entertaining, especially if a person has a discipline and good control, but for those who dont, it will be bad, so if we know someone, then we must do everything we can to pull them on that addiction.

In gambling, the word addiction could either be bad or good for a certain person, if he is making profits then it is good, but if don't, then it is bad, to make your story short, I'm going to give a summarized opinion of mine.

The word addiction is not entirely a bad thing, it depends on where you are going to use it, since there are bad and good addiction. The difference is that, the term "addiction" will only be called literally addiction that cause bad to people is when they are doing things that are not benefiting them, like for example is continuously playin gambling even though they are losing, that is addiction, but, the using it in a positive way in playing gambling is called a profession, not an addiction if you are making money out of it.

It is not just about the gambler himself

After all, everyone decides for himself what to do with their life. But with gambling and being addicted to it, it is more like heavy drug addiction as the junkie doesn't just make his own life miserable but also the lives of people around him (family, friends, colleagues if there are any)

And it can be in the same vein with gambling addiction, but gambling addiction is still somewhat better as it doesn't damage the body and the brain as much as a heavy use of drugs does, physically destroying the person and his character. It is fully reversible, and there is a way back in case of gambling even if it requires a lot of effort

When people are getting enjoyed in what they are doing, tendencies are they are repeating it over and over again because people always to get enjoyed in what they are doing. In gambling, if you are having fun in doing it there is a chance that you are getting addicted into it since you want to do it again.

There are many ways for a person to be enjoyed and gambling is just one. Why don't we spend our time in different activities where it can also give fun too. Spending time with families and travelling is one, playing online games with your friends is another one. There are many ways to be happy Cheesy. Don't spend your time and money in gambling because you can get addicted into it.
Gambling addicts are not easy to be handled .I have witnessed such cases where a person is always ready to sale his house just to ensure a recovery of the loss he has faced in the past through big win. But unfortunately it does not become possible most of the time just because of depression .Addicts could survive if they are provided the paths for monetary benefits.

selling house ? lol wtf . i cant imagine if what he will end up when he loose . where will he live  ? its okay if he is alone and dont have a family because he can go anywhere but if he had a family thats a hassel  . i tried to become addicted on gambling once and it comes to my mind that what if i sell my phone or other gadgets so that i can gamble again  ? but luckily i didnt do it because i still think about the risk of loosing them all and the cycle will only repeat until i sell all what i got . that is the addiction at it worst   .

I assume you are gambling on a single site only?

Yeah, I only use Skybet. It's easier to keep track of things that way. Some bookies do have better odds but they're pretty much one of the only sportsbooks I've found that give you a free bet every week (£5 free bet if you stake £25 in bets and £25 is usually my limit every week). Skybet also do great 3 fold accumulator price boosts on the 3'o clock Premier League kick offs which is what tend to bet on so I often put them on.

Thanks for sharing this. It sounds a nice betting site for me. I was thinking you are using the site your avatar is promoting. Wink

I cannot do the tracking myself because I am gambling here and there. A little online bet here, another on a lottery outlet there, another on a scratch to win stub, one NBA bet against a workmate, etc. Win/loss tracking is now impossible to do.

It's not impossible, but takes a little effort. You could just use a spreadsheet to keep track of your expenditure/earnings.

Sounds smooth and cool and a little geeky. But that's definitely the right way of doing it. Which may not really be my cup of tea.



If only gamblers can do their individual win/loss tracking also, they might start to realize how much money they've already burned on the table.
if only we will realized earlier?but the thing is we need to lose too much first before we finally accept the fact that gambling is not reliable if we are seeking for profit.

I cannot do the tracking myself because I am gambling here and there. A little online bet here, another on a lottery outlet there, another on a scratch to win stub, one NBA bet against a workmate, etc. Win/loss tracking is now impossible to do.
you dont need to track your win or loss,instead you have to find out how much you can afford to lose that wont affect your real life,or your future.

My point is that the accumulated amount has more impact than the smaller ones that you can easily burn at the gambling table. 100$ is an amount you can easily afford to lose. But the point is that how many 100$ have you been burning away because of your gambling losses? If you go home knowing that on that day you only lost 80$, you will not be going home in pain. But if you add everything up in the past 5 months and you will see 2,500$ in gambling losses, then perhaps that will remind you to moderate more your gambling expenses.

True, but you could also do the same with many other things in life. How much money do people waste on clothes, pizzas, coffee, subscriptions, trinkets, accessories, games and so on? I think the key is whether the behavior becomes toxic or not and whether it adds enjoyment to your life without breaking the bank.

I guess moderation is the key. Gambling will not be an exception, just like beer and shoes. Wink

addiction is actually good if done on positive things, but when addicted to negative things will eventually be broken, even though there is a chance to get more money, but still we will be miserable in the end. actually we can still enjoy playing gambling without having to get addicted, changing the mindset can be done so that we are not addicted.

When people can distract their addiction to positive things, then that will bring a positive result too, and I guess that can have a good impact on other people. But addiction to negative thoughts will give us a bad result, and addicting to gambling is one of the examples.

Changing the mindset will be necessary if that person can open his mind to think about the effect of playing gambling in the long term so he can conclude that he will spend more money without a small chance to make money.

only when there is no more capital that can be used to play gambling, and facts that force to get money only for family needs. this is enough for shock therapy and aroused common sense in uncomfortable situations that can get rid of my addiction instantly. many lessons to be taken where must always prepare a separate capital in various purposes, including gambling.

If we think that it could be taken out easily, maybe we are wrong. Even if we have some rehabilitiation projects for gambling addicts, they might still end up even selling their families furniture and appliances to have something to bet on because their addiction is now on the top. I think to make it stop, we need to make them suffer in a sense that they could feel there's no one they could rely into but we secretly still there to help them to change.

This is a dangerous move. To let the addict suffer is to push him into a more desperate situation. And to push an addict into the corner is to make the situation much worse. Remember that an addict is already suffering enough. We need to respond to it accordingly. We need to ask the help or assistance of a professional to intervene. There is of course a professional way of rehabilitating a gambling addict.
You think that those who are addicted to gambling must be left alone so that they would suffer all the damage that they have brought .But it is not applicable for everyone because each person has his or her own emotional limits. There are people who are easy to be tackle or rehabilitated through sympathy .Hardships of life are not easy to be eradicated but it is possible through the support of family and friends .So I think that the addicts must be handed with love.

Addiction to things that are unprofitable is actually not a good thing. People should rather choose to be "addicted" to things without "side effects". Do such things even exist in our world? Well, I know one thing that has no side effects if done in excess: serving the CREATOR.
So, we should be more engaged in things that have lesser/no side effects.. and engage less in things with more side effects.
Agree with you it’s not good to get addicted to anything in this world because everything gives profit and benefit in the limit. If you are earning from gambling then it’s a good thing but you must have emotions strength so whenever you want you can stop gambling. We should better give time to our family or in useful natural activities as you said like planting or saving creators.
