They will do anything to achieve their goals just like a drug addict would.I think that some years in jail would be the right punishment for such persons and also there to be treated for their illness.

Drug addict doesn't have a goal. They just want to destroy their lives because they want to. That's their own will and once they started, they don't know how to stop. It's the same in gambling, once you started to lose a lot of money, the determined you want to recover it all. That's when greed will allow you to waste all your money in betting.

To avoid those addictions, at first you should know the possibilities of betting before doing it. Do some research about the advantages and disadvantages of gambling. Also learn how to control emotions in urge of winning more money or recovering all your losses. Learn how to save yourself from greed. If you learned all of that before betting, now you'll prevent loss and addictions

~It is easy to judge from the outside if a person is greedy or not but when you are gambling you do not think with a cool head and you don’t understand that you have become addicted until a big level of addiction is achieved.Therefore saying it is you who are responsible for your choice we would not have any addicted gamblers but the actual fact is that we have many.

I don't judge those people mostly because I've been in their shoes many times, and I'm no better than they are in this regard, but I can judge myself, right? So, I think, it was extremely stupid of me to bet again and again, until my balance was zero, waiting for a big win, like I did the other day. In fact what I lost was a little bit more than what I previously won on the same site, but still I feel like I was addicted for more than an hour, and being addicted is a bad thing. But who's fault was that apart from my own? No one was forcing me to continue, so it was completely my fault.

That's what exactly everyone should do. Instead of judging a person, it is better to think of yourself in the same situation to realize that it is not easy to overcome.
It is not stupidity, it is just an action to satisfy your curiousity. The curiousity and possibility of thinking of earning if you play again. It is not easy to overcome these feelings.
It is no ones fault actually. You cannot blame youself just because you still play, you just wanted to play for your own reason.

All of us had their personal reasons, and we should respect that in order to show support to every gambler. Responsible gamble always gives a moral support to their fellow players, no blaming or shaming because that's our desire to enjoy money with lucky chances of winning.
Addiction will only dominate a person when he's out of control, but if you're going to be on that stage, you really need to overcome it on your own without seeking other's responsibility.

Each of us has a different reason why do we gambling, commonly they play just for fun and want some excitement while playing. Some people want to gamble because they want to earn extra money while enjoying the game, and that was good because you will not experience any stress by just playing. But there is an unfortunate side in too much addiction we cannot avoid losing, and by this may cause of debt that too hard to pay. It is better to control your self even you love playing gambling.

of course we can blame no one but ourselves because no one forces us to play and lose.the sad part is sometimes we are already winning but since our greed took place we turns out as loser and regret after.
in this the self control must be in the scene and should be applied but the baddest thing is we cannot do it right away,and will take time before achieving .

but whats important is we will never risk the money that must be for our family and only the extra amount we have.

Being addicted to gambling is a choice and not by coincidence nor a chance that you get addicted to it. At the end of the day, it's you who control your greed on gambling whether or not you wanna get addicted.

Well I agree, its our choice how we treat gambling since we are the only one who can control ourselves. If you let yourself out of control and greedy to win/earn you might really end up an addicted gambler. So before you play think of the reason why you gamble, is it for fun or to earn? If the latter is your answer then refrain yourself from playing because only few people can do this using their skills and not relying alone on their luck.

Really? It's a psychological issue if you can't control the way you gamble. Being addicted to gambling is a choice and not by coincidence nor a chance that you get addicted to it. At the end of the day, it's you who control your greed on gambling whether or not you wanna get addicted.

In theory you are right,in practice you are not.It is easy to judge from the outside if a person is greedy or not but when you are gambling you do not think with a cool head and you don’t understand that you have become addicted until a big level of addiction is achieved.Therefore saying it is you who are responsible for your choice we would not have any addicted gamblers but the actual fact is that we have many.

Well, that's right, it's actually emotional that forgets our choices when gambling so thinking coldly is not possible. But also not all people make their choices when gambling, whether they should be addicted or not because most beginners only realize this when they have been addicted.

When the limits of gambling have been made and we choose not to become addicted, the biggest problem is our own emotions. We cannot deny emotions when playing but we are able to manage slowly.

Oh man, I'm sorry if I offended you. Your English is great. It's just we all make mistakes sometimes. I still think that in 99% of cases "what goes around comes around" means “as you sow, so shall you reap”, but whatever. At least, thanks to you, now I know that it has another meaning too.

Let's stay on topic, though. Can you explain, why do you think that "if you win too quickly - you would lose that money too quickly, at least the highest chances are that you would lose it"?

I know it is hard to leave the life that you've been used to, but guys, it is all worth it if you will quit gambling and explore the world, it's much prettier and beneficial to us.

You are 1000% right.

He is damn true. This is world is full of things that need to be explored. If you ask me, human life is very short one to experience and know everything. Still, we should try to taste as many flavors of life as we can. Gambling is just one small portion of what world has for us. It is a game and must be played with this mindset. Majority of the gamblers develop hopes to make money from such an unpredictable activity, which is totally wrong.

Life should be explore and we need to see other things we shouldn't lock ourselves to engaged too much with something that causes problem. Gambling should treat as source of entertainment exceeding to anything surely will not bring good to you. Don't focus too much with this activities and better to quit if you already suffered from huge loses, take it as a learning experience and forget about coming back if possible.

For betting you should be careful that being addicted will make you suffer so in gambling make sure you have control over yourself and you can stop gambling if you think you are going to lose more than you can afford to lose. It’s all about control one should manage before gambling. Even if you are gambling for fun make sure you can stop when needed.

Even those who won the lottery have proven that "what goes around comes around" - if you win too quickly - you would lose that money too quickly, at least the highest chances are that you would lose it

I'm trying to be as rational as possible, so, this text looks too metaphysical to me. Imo, the chances of losing something have no relation to how that "something" was acquired, quickly, won in a lottery, or slowly, with years of hard everyday labour.

Quote from: Get-Paid.com on November 19, 2019, 07:26:14 AM

... Ashley Revell perhaps is an example to someone who won a single spin of a roulette and used the money for business instead of losing it however I have no idea how his personal life is now, and like it or not - what goes around comes around.

Actually, Ashley Revell did well after that:

Quote from: https://www.gamblingmetropolis.com/man-behind-craziest-gambling-bet-ever/

Many predicted that a man who was willing to make such a risky bet would gamble away any earnings within no time, but Revell demonstrated a bit more tact with his future plans. Being such a huge poker fan, he decided to create a football-inspired poker website, Poker UTD, which he maintained until 2009. He also decided to enter the online gambling market with an iGaming recruitment website.

However, probably the most rewarding aspect of his win came in the form of a motorbike journey around Holland shortly after his arrival back in the UK. Revell was single at the time of his bet, but his big win enabled him to find a partner during his trip across the North Sea, whom he later married and shares two children with.

Everyone loves a happy ending, and Ashley Revell’s may well be the most famous in gambling history.

But even if he'd lose everything the next day, it wouldn't prove anything, as well as it would be wrong to say that what happened to him proves that acting like he did, sold all his possessions and gambled US$135,300 on a single spin of a roulette, is the right pattern of behaviour.

Also, I think you imply the wrong meaning to the proverb "what goes around comes around".

Being greedy is what makes a human being addictive to gambling. We always think of instant money and we always set aside the enjoyment of playing.
Most gamblers lose more than a million dollars because of their mindset, thinking of winning a big amount all the time which is impossible. As you said, gamblers anticipated that they will win one big amount, but for that to happen you need pure luck which is really impossible.

Quote from: Darker45 on November 11, 2019, 01:24:14 AM

I was reading the news this morning and one of the headlines was about a terrible stealing incident involving an alleged gambling addict. The man is an employee of R&L Investments, one of the Philippines' oldest stock brokerage firms. He was able to orchestrate a way to suck at least ₱700-million worth of stocks from the company to support his gambling addiction. This is around 14 million USD, huge enough for the company to decide its closure after 5 decades of operation.^[1]

This case made me remember another news that shocked the country and beyond more than a couple of years ago. This incident involved another gambling addict who tried to burn down the casino inside Resorts World Manila. The man entered the casino fully armed and attempted to steal chips. It went awry and much worse from there, and ended up burning himself alive. The gambling addiction of the perpetrator had reached its worst end after initially causing separation from his family, selling of properties including his home and car, incurring huge debts, and so on. The incident claimed dozens of lives.^[2]

I want to ask my fellow gamblers here, what is the worst thing you have done for your gambling hobby or habit? Have you come to the point of getting addicted to it and how did you counter it?

I also get addicted to gambling since my friends introduced me about it, and i started losing a lot of money that i also ended up getiing bankrupt. I rid of my addiction in gambling by changing my habit, which i change it by playing sports and going to the gym for me to lose my focus about gambling kr gking at the casino.
