The real danger zone is when gambling turns into an obsession, like that song you just can't get out of your head. It's not just about the money; it's the constant urge to gamble, even when it hurts your brain and relationships.

Some people can bounce back from a financial loss without getting hooked. They learn their lesson, dust themselves off, and move on. But for others, it can trigger that addictive spiral. It's like falling down a rabbit hole, and suddenly you're betting the rent money on a triple seven.

The key is knowing your limits and staying in control. Think of it like setting a timer on your phone – once it goes off, put the cards down and go grab a pizza.

If you feel like gambling is taking over your life, don't be afraid to ask for help. There are awesome people out there who can support you on your journey to ditch the addiction and reclaim your sanity. Remember, you're not alone in this!


When we as gamblers can control ourselves, then nothing will happen to us, financially or in our social life.
we must know the time to gamble. we have to know the allocation that we can bet on. we must know when we continue or leave the game.
those who become very bad because of gambling are obviously because they are obsessed with winning. they lose control and forget all boundaries.

That's impossible. First and foremost, if someone is approaching an addicted gambler to talk to him about his current condition, experience, and how often he goes gambling. They are not going to the extent of engaging in a discussion about participating in gambling activities with the addicted gambler. Instead, they focus on resolving the issue and helping the individual overcome their addiction. It is unlikely that someone willing to help would become addicted to gambling simply by approaching the addicted gambler unless that person has ulterior motives.
Why is it impossible? A person who approaches a gambling addict but cannot control himself will find something that the gambling addict shows that will make him curious to try it. This self-control can prevent him from being tempted to try it so that he can stick to his goal of getting gambling addicts to cure their gambling addiction. Someone who approaches a gambler will use methods that might work well instead of directly asking the addict about his current condition. That will make the addict offended and feel that the person is not sincere. Someone who wants to approach the addict will know how he can enter and get close to the addict without rejection. This requires finding the right ways from the people who approach the addict so that they can help the gambling addict cure his gambling addiction.

At least you can limit yourself from excessive addiction to gambling. However, if the boundaries were higher or thicker, wouldn't that be even better?
so that later gambling addiction will be reduced. You can gamble calmly if your playing mentality is strong.

Yes applying some boundaries and also self-control is indeed an approach that is always suggested in gambling, I will never get tired of saying this to anyone especially some of my friends who also gamble, because humans always cannot avoid the name "forgetting" due to emotions that dominate because of something like losing and this idea or suggestion will at least be able to help them to remember that precautions are much more important when you are involved in gambling.

Doing or applying higher or strong and firm limits is definitely better, as you said that this way we will be able to gamble more calmly and avoid the possibility of addiction, but unfortunately it is a fact that only a few people can have this kind of mindset that leads to preventive measures because they are always focused on winning opportunities so it is difficult to limit their gambling activities.

Maybe it's also very important for us to invite our own friends or relatives who are also gamblers. because if we weren't friends who were both gamblers, they would immediately tell us to stop gambling.  Shocked
not to support each other in betting, but rather to remind us that we have exceeded the limits we have previously set. and vice versa, when our friend is betting, we also have to remind him if he has crossed the limit.
So apart from controlling ourselves, and sometimes even though we are very good and still forget, we need someone's help to remind us of that.

Addiction is too much which means that the impact on our personal is not healthy anymore and it directly hits our financial stability. Therefore, it was necessary to take action before our gambling habits turned into something that we didn't want to happen...

It is very important to set limitations, especially the time we spend on gambling as this is a common cause of addiction. Self-control is not impossible if we really want to help and think about the future of ourselves because addiction doesn't just ruin our finances but our health as well.

In a situation where there's no strong mentality to tackle the gambling addiction I think it's most safe to quit than trying to still gamble in a way we think and feel is safer because that will only make us triggered more and gradually getting in deeper than we can imagine while you still think you are maintain sanity.

Limiting yourself isn't enough especially if you want to fight against addiction but rather quitting even if it's temporary, you can use the period and time been to make sure you get a proper strategy and control over your mind and self so that you strictly stick to responsible gambling and any thing outside your strategy will be very much avoided such that you don't gamble until the it conforms with your strategy and budget, once your budget is exceeded it's very advicable you exit till another day.

So, if you simply approach someone who is addicted to gambling, there's a possibility for you to also do gambling? I don't believe that merely approaching an addicted gambler will put you in the same situation as them. It's more about how a person takes action and communicates with the gambler to make them understand their current situation. This is typically done by people who are trusted by the gambler.
This can happen if the person who approaches a gambling addict offers him or her the experience of gambling while the person who approaches the gambling addict does not have good self-control. If someone sees what a gambler does and can win from a gambling game, they will be curious and want to know what it's like to gamble. He will probably try it when he is home and visits the casino because he will remember the name of the casino site.

But if someone wants to help a gambling addict, they really need to communicate with the gambling addict so that they can understand the situation and can immediately help the gambling addict. But if gambling addicts don't want to admit the fact that they are addicted to gambling, it will be difficult for those who want to approach the gambling addict because the gambling addict will refuse to get treatment for their gambling addiction.
That's impossible. First and foremost, if someone is approaching an addicted gambler to talk to him about his current condition, experience, and how often he goes gambling.

If the gambler is currently at the stages of those situations mentioned by OP, they are now at a critical level.

At this stage, a gambler can't think of a good thing anymore as their mind is now corrupted.

They need immediate help as they can't help themselves anymore. If found a person like that in your community, don't hesitate to give their family advice to now seek help from any gambling-related rehabilitation centers. It's ASAP before anything much worse happens.

Those losses can lead to the emotional trauma that a gambler faces during addiction. Because while addicted and participating in gambling activity the player will have to be losing money so often, which means that the gambler will always worry about his money. Addiction doesn't mean the gambler forgets; he'll be notified of his consistence losses. Which then changes the thoughts of the gambler and affect his behavior. That he starts acting strange to people around him. The duty of such people as you said, is to take good care of the gambler. Since the help they need is companionship. Communicating with other people can help a gambler to circle back to his original mental condition. However, since gambling is a tricky game, risky players need to stay careful and calculative towards their gambling habit.

I agree with your topic. The worst thing about the behavior of an addicted person is that not only he suffers (financial problems, social and health problems) but also his loved ones and those around him, including friends, family, children, spouses, if any.
But there is another negative aspect associated with gambling. When a person wins a large sum one evening by making a successful bet, then it will become increasingly difficult to earn money by simple labor. After all, it takes a lot of effort, but the financial reward is much less
The people who are around the addict will not suffer anything,
They even have the responsibility to remind and guide the addict to stay away from what is too much.

Gambling addicts will only generate negative responses from many people and this will also be their mental trigger will not be stable.
Especially if you don't have money to gamble, this will have an impact on the actions to be taken.

I don't hate gambling or anything, I also like to play slots, betting etc, but it all has its limits so it doesn't make me addicted.

When one is already comfortable with gambling and earning money is very easy (at first), other ordinary jobs will not be suitable.
But in my opinion, as much as possible, real work or main work is always a priority over gambling.

Gambling addiction has been known to be associated with serious funds loss, bankruptcy, unsettled loan involvements, properties auctioning and other irritable financial behaviors that depicts frustration and desperations from the victims.
A little more observation shows clearly other effects of such addiction to just not the addict alone, but those around them, be it friends, family or neighbors. Here are a few of them:

Negative impression on children/ dependents: His addiction can corrupt the good intentions of the younger generation looking up to him for inspiration, they may grow up to see gambling as a way of life and follow the wrong footprints.

Decrease in overall productivity of individual: Addiction reduces the value that you add to wherever you are engaged career wise as you are mostly distracted with gambling thereby reducing your commitment and dedication to your duties, this might significantly reduce the overall company productivity and lead to job loss.

health Challenges: A gambling addict is always under pressure and tension and as such is prone to health challenges like high blood pressure, depression, and on the part of his people, they might be suffering from the psychological implications of his lifestyle which includes social stigma.

violence : most gambling addicts are prone to violent behaviors owing to anger issues from much losses and this might greatly affect his relationship with his immediate family and people around him who might start seeing him as a wild animal.

your contributions are very much welcome as we learn together the many demerits of gambling addiction to inform both those currently addicted and intending addicts of the dangers of that irrational lifestyle.

Addiction is like a resistance disease that take more time to be handle if possible, for a gambler to be termed addicted gambler it take great discipline to mange this kind of situation. A chronic addicted gambler is ready for any situation that may arise, the face people with harshness, they don't want to lose, is not as if they don't know that losing is inevitable but the want to be wining always, this is why they are addicted in the first place, an addicted gambler doesn't believe in missing chances, they believe that any day they don't place bet, they gave missed a great chance of winning.
Gamblers should know that once you become addicted, you will now be an object of mockery and you family will be seen as irresponsible household, so in other to avoid this, you should gamble responsibly.
There are different levels of being addicted to things and we don't have to see it from the general mindset. The resistance can be seen and that should not make us to over relax on what is not going to aid us to get ourselves free. Those that have less severe gambling addiction can still be able to work on it and get free from the frequent urge to gamble more with larger risk. Whatever risk we are taking as gamblers, it is good we know what we are doing to sustain our funds from getting bankruptcy. Things are supposed to be in progressive mode so we don't get in and lose all our funds.

Again, to know how to gamble well and wisely, first we have to be able to control our emotions when playing, manage the risk of losing a lot of money by setting a stop loss or stop profit and what is no less important is not to use all the money we have, including money for family needs, in gambling. .

I didn't know gamblers needed such a feature to stem gamblers' greed.
which becomes a loss for gamblers only when they cannot control their gambling well. wise people will not use their money to gamble. because they know the risks.
we just need to be reasonable gamblers. Play with the allocation that has been determined. If you win, withdraw, if you lose, you will come back the next day when there is another allocation of funds. the most important thing is, we know when to play and when we don't need to force ourselves to play.
At least you can limit yourself from excessive addiction to gambling. However, if the boundaries were higher or thicker, wouldn't that be even better?

All matters with;

1. Strong self control
2. Strong will
3. Discipline
4. Responsible
5. Wary/Sensible on whats happening.

If you are this kind of person on who do have that kind of behavior or quality then you arent someone who would really be ending up on getting addicted.
Its not really that bad to play gambling as long you are really that responsible. You wont really be having any issues if you are really that
mindful with your actions.

Yes, of course, gambling addiction, and other addictions for that matter, can affect your entire life and even the lives of those people important to you. In worst cases, even your neighbors and complete strangers.

Financial loss is just one among many effects. Your finances is just one aspect of your life that is going to be affected. Addiction can affect your family as well because you don't have time for them, you easily get angry with them, you can't give them their needs, etc.

You would also even lose your job after a while for being always late, can't focus on your assignments, having quarrel with workmates or even your bosses, etc.

Everything could be affected if it is not addressed.

Gambling addiction has many negative impacts on family, social and personal life. The changes in behavior shown by gambling addicts are very clear, they prefer to be angry and easily carried away by emotions and commit other violence and it is not uncommon for them to commit domestic violence. Whether violence against their wives or children as a result of their gambling. They suffer more and more losses, there are no addicts gambling that can recover their losses, the more they chase losses, the more they will face bankruptcy, economic damage and not being able to manage their money well due to their addiction.

The points you mentioned above are true points experienced by gambling addicts, when they are married then they are role models for their children. If their parents are gambling addicts then a child grows up following in his father's wrong footsteps and the same goes for his health because Gambling addiction can slowly damage a person's mental state and when they are no longer able to bear the burden, gambling addicts can usually do things out of control, such as committing suicide, because that is the only way their problem can be resolved.

Yes gambling does more  harm  than  just mere financial loss  reasons for my opinion is that, addiction simply means a particular  state  of behaviour  that an individual finds himself that  he/she finds it difficult to resist or deviate from a particular life. Gambling addiction imposes harm  on a person expecially when the has consistently  been bet, it has not become  part and pasule of the person's lifestyle.

However, hopefully the must always develop the urge to gambling  everyday hence the person  has a daily  programme financially so he/she can have  a staking  power, in this case the gambler  sees losing  to be a normal occurancies that takes  place  one in a while. So even  when  the loss is more  than  the winner it doesn't  consigns the gambling his only ojective  is to keep  playing because every addicted  gambler believe that no matter  the loss  a bigger winning  is on the way.

So sometimes this gambling addiction  harm van make an individual  not to meet up with his demostic responsibility, personality needs, and needs  of peer group.

So to my own opinion in evaluation is that gambling addiction does more  harm than mere financial loss mentally ,emotionally and financial loss to addiction and  also active  gamblers.
