Topic: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss - page 11. (Read 2319 times)

When a person loses a lot of money in gambling and is a gambling addict, his her life is totally destroyed and it is not just his financial loss. I would reckon that he will lose his family, his wife and his children if he loses too much money in gambling. No one wants to live with a loser and a person who is mentally sick (that is the reason he is addicted to gambling).


When a gambler is addicted to gambling, his ability to determine of right and wrong also goes wrong and he is influenced by emotion, becomes greedy and does not make the right choices when gambling.
It will have a bad impact not just on the financial aspects but also on his relations with near and dear ones and his health may suffer also (depending upon how severe is his gambling addiction).

Those who want to enter the world of gambling should be able to think about and understand the negative impacts of gambling, but what is often found is that they come to gambling without making any preparations. Because they are curious to see what other people have, they also want to get it. Indeed, it is not wrong if they gamble, but they must be able to know what they have to do and learn when gambling so that they are not influenced by the temptations that exist in gambling. Many people have fallen into gambling because they did not make the proper preparations so they are fascinated and end up drowning in gambling.

If they already know what to do and learn, they will try to prevent themselves from experiencing gambling problems, including preventing themselves from experiencing gambling addiction because it can have an impact on the people around them. They have to think about what is happening to the people around them so that they can prevent themselves from gambling excessively and can still control themselves well.

This is why realization and self-awareness are important for everyone because one needs to think it through before they get into anything in their life when they know it's not just about them but they might lose everything they have if they face certain problems after starting to do something, like in gambling, a person understands that if they get addicted, they will have a hard time getting out of it and if they can't do that, they will most likely get themselves ruined.

So, someone who is getting into gambling should understand both the positive and negative consequences of gambling and then they should evaluate the ways they should use so that they can avoid the risks that can lead them towards the negative consequences so that they don't face severe problems because of their gambling activities.

Of course, the impact of gambling addiction cannot be forgotten, anyone who is able to think well will certainly behave carefully so as not to harm other people and not only that, a severe addiction will cause the addict's mental health to be disturbed.
It is not easy to cure someone's addiction, but if the person doesn't really want to recover then they won't be able to stop it in any way. The family also has an important role in healing addiction, but depending on the views and decisions of each addict, he will think about stopping or continuing.

Is it not that a given? I mean if I invest in an asset and I lose then nothing else can happen as this was a movement that I made purely to benefit myself economically.

However, those that are addicted are not only pursuing the possibility of obtaining more money through gambling, they simply want to keep doing so for as long as possible, so their compulsive behavior has almost no other reason to be than to perpetuate itself, so it should be obvious that negative effects other than losing money must appear.

Don't link gambling with religion because it is clear that gambling is strongly frowned upon by any religion, gambling alone is considered bad by society, especially if it becomes an addiction, there are definitely many people who don't like the behavior of gambling addicts. Gambling addiction has indeed made many people feel disadvantaged, both in their social lives and in terms of our financial health, therefore many people are against gambling because they are worried that many people could experience gambling addiction which will result adverse impact from generation to generation.

Yes, there are indeed gamblers who do not become addicted as long as they are able to control themselves, manage their finances well and have a time limit for gambling, so that you don't get addicted which ultimately harms you and your finances. Usually, such gamblers have full responsibility in the family, prioritizing their home life rather than prioritizing their gambling.

Families don't neglect you because you are gambling except you are only gambling without profit and you don't have other source of income, that is why nobody should rely on gambling alone because if you do, at the time you are not making profit you will not be able to take care of yourself or family. Hence, the advise is that gambling should not be looked at as a primary source of income but secondary or fun adventure not what you rely on to feed your family.

If you don't gamble responsibly then you can have all the regrets and family expressing hate but if you have a balance in yourself and provide for your family, you will still be loved. Money is an important factor to a peaceful home so whether as a gambler or other kinds of job, you need to take care of the family.

This is what is wrong when a gambler comes without having a true understanding of gambling, after all gambling is nothing more than a game of "probability" which means maybe you lose or maybe you win, it is always about those two things that will happen at the end of the gambling session you do. Sometimes people who initially have a correct understanding of what gambling is, do not mean they can maintain the beliefs and beliefs they carried from the start about gambling which is just a game of probability, one of the reasons is that winning can change your mindset and perspective. Look at them as time goes by, and beliefs like that will usually start to emerge when you manage to get a win that is quite tempting and that's where you can assume to yourself that "this place can be used to earn income".

This is the start of an addiction  scenario where you will continue to play with the aim of wanting to win again like before, the number of attempts will increase because of the hope that is driven by the belief of winning, but what they don't realize is that along the way the casino will continue to drain. the money they have slowly in several sessions that they have passed which ended in defeat, not only that because when you win it doesn't mean you can stop because greed will play a role when you are in a situation like that so you even put a bigger amount in the hope and higher confidence for bigger wins.

Whether an addict or not, it's totally wrong and not advisable to gamble in front of children or infants. Children tend to emulate their parents or immediate guardians pretty fast and whatever thing you choose to expose them to is what they'll tend to grow up with, this is why it's wrong to gamble or even speak of gambling in their presence ( whether an addict or not) else they'll start harboring the idea and little by little, they'll start nurturing the idea and before you know it, they'll start to practice it in one way or the other, and when it gets to that point, the idea is already registered in their young mind and they'll grow up with that mentality.

It's just like saying don't drink irresponsibly or get drunk in front of kids rather than saying don't drink at all in front of kids.

If gamblers who still gamble frequently realize this, they will not experience gambling addiction and can still enjoy gambling as entertainment. They will not fall deeper into gambling because they know what impact it will have on them and their families and those closest to them. They will always try to prevent bad things from happening to them by always setting limits when gambling because they really don't want to become addicted to gambling. They may also have seen the true impact that has occurred on people who have experienced gambling addiction, where their lives have been ruined, and their families have also felt the impact. And they realize that gambling is actually just for fun and not to make money, so they will try to avoid gambling addiction because the impact that will be felt will also be greater than they imagine.

The harm addiction leaves in a family are not easily forgotten. However, the goal of every gambler is to focus and be responsible to his family. Money generated from the wins, comes and goes. But the unforgettable marks that addiction puts on the brain of everyone who got affected by it wouldn't disappear. Hence, it's crucial for gamblers to have in mind that chasing losses could be bad, because the money won't stay with them when they begin to battle over the trouble chasing of losses may have caused to their mental health, and that of their family who helped them out of addiction. It's also remarkable to add that the family of the gambler gets more pissed off if they find out that the person after being saved or rescued from gambling addiction, still finds his way back to the habit. Not minding whether he's changed to a responsible gambler, the thoughts alone weaken the strength of the family. They'll think that all their efforts where wasted.

Yes, it's true that gambling addiction makes us really become alone because we think too selfishly about ourselves, that's why gambling addicts are always left behind by their families because they don't really think about them when they are chasing and recovering their losses, so they easily ignore their families and time together. them, even though in fact family is more valuable than the money we use for gambling, that's why I lose more from losing precious time with my family than losing money.

If the money runs out, you can still find it, but the family cannot be rebuilt if it is destroyed and falling apart, that is why gambling addiction is not only financially detrimental but much worse than that, everyone must control themselves from gambling addiction because they cannot only with advice can addicts recover, everyone must return to themselves how to prevent gambling addiction from occurring, that is something that I worry about while gambling, that's why I always divide my time between family and gambling, I even gamble less than with my family

Chasing losses is the genesis of revenge gambling and revenge gambling precedes compulsive gambling. All the problems associated with gambling are caused by trying to recoup our losses which I know is not bad. There is a cold war between the gamblers and the bookies. Both parties want to gain. When you are winning, the bookies are not happy and when you are losing, you are not happy. Since we all want to win and make money, it becomes normal to try to win. After all, that is why we are gambling.

But then, whether we try to recoup our losses or not, we should always stick to a strategy that can help us regain the loss in the long run. We don`t have to fall for the thought of let me try again, maybe this time I will win. It is this mindset of recovering immediately that has ruined the life of many not only in terms of their finance but it has strained their relationship and led them to substance abuse problems, depression and even anxiety.

It has a lot of dire consequences, first and foremost, Financial ruins, this is the obvious effect to us, it leads to financial difficulties, including loans, debts that we can't pay and worst we loss our assets, like house or car. And then this subject has just been recently discussed here, mental health. Sooner of later with the effect of constant losses gamblers will have a breakdown, anxiety levels increases because of the financial strain that we are experiencing. And worst case is that someone will just go and die from heart attack because they can't take their losses and always thinking of it. For the relationships with his or her family, there is also a thread here about deception, not telling your other half that you are in gambling, can lead to break up and divorce and the only victim here will be their kids or children.

Addiction to gambling hurts other people. It affects health, work, and relationships. Kids and people who count on them see bad behavior, which could make gambling seem normal. The addict's lack of focus and work can cost them their job and make the company less productive. A lot of addicts also have sadness and high blood pressure. It's possible that their siblings also have mental health problems and social stigmas. Addiction can make people very angry and frustrated, which can hurt their relationships with family and friends. These effects must be known to make people more aware of the dangers of game addiction and to encourage those who are or might become addicted to get help.

I think there's no such thing as over greedy, greediness alone is already a bad thing being a gambler. You'll never be satisfied with your winning so you'll continue to gamble to the point that it's not healthy anymore. And since gamblers losses in the long run, the same outcome will be experience by the gamblers who does not know when to stop.

As a responsbile gambler (not greedy), we should have the discipline to accept our losses, stop when we lose our budget and come back tomorrw or the other time. The point here is we spend what we can afford only, if we are out of budget then rest.

That is the big risk impact when someone is addicted to gambling, it is not us alone who will suffer losses and bear all the suffering and problems but also those closest to us, namely our own family, who will also feel the impact. Indeed, gambling addiction is a very high-risk problem that can destroy a person's life at any time and make him very miserable. Not only that, other impacts will also affect the psychological and mental condition of an addict, sometimes people who are not strong enough to bear the risk of addiction can even experience extraordinary depression.
Therefore, it would be better for us to gamble and maintain good control so that we don't get addicted to gambling.

When a person is addicted to winning while gambling, he will not even realize when he will lose all his money because of addiction to winning. Can never be loaded while gambling. Greed will increase the chances of losing money from gambling.  When gambling in new situations they often risk all their money due to over greediness. Do not over greedy while gambling.

You're right, being obsessed with winning and chasing your losses is too dangerous. If you are always like this, you will easily run out of money and you will quickly become addicted to gambling. You will not only have financial problems if you are addicted to gambling, there are many negative effects of gambling and we will suffer from it if we abuse it, so let's avoid getting to this point.

If you're at the point where you're addicted, it's true that it's hard to stop gambling when you're addicted to gambling, but you have to fight if you want to change and stop it, you're the only one who will help you in these situations, so help yourself.

life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.
