Topic: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss - page 3. (Read 2319 times)

In my opinion, the desire to stop gambling depends on each individual gambler. However, for most gamblers who are addicted, it is very difficult for them to escape or control themselves from gambling. I think they keep playing wanting to catch up on previous losses, it's true what you said, if they win half they don't stop but they keep playing because they think they are at their best. Addiction is not only detrimental to their financial losses, but will have a bad impact if they have nothing else, they will abandon the people closest to them.

Most gamblers first gamble for fun. When a gambler gambles for fun, sometimes they become so addicted that they can't get out of gambling when they have the will. A gambling addict becomes so true to gambling that it destroys people lives many times it is seen that they cannot take care of their family properly because of this gambling their family members are very upset with them. Once they win half of the gambling they think that we will get the second half if we win but when they get any money they go back to the bar empty handed almost penniless. Confident in gambling is good but overconfident gambling brings ruin.

This scenario really happens and is experienced by gamblers who always try to make gambling a place to earn money, even though basically they often experience bad impacts such as experiencing a significant amount of losses but strangely still in the end they always try to take various actions that tends to be excessive, as you said, this is done because there is great confidence and hope in winning.

Instinct can indeed be used as a gambling method as a way to make decisions, but still instinct can be wrong and can be right, meaning that your instincts lead you to victory, so what you have to understand is that you have to think that it is a situation where you are sufficient. be lucky enough to win, and never put too much faith in your instincts when gambling because of course losing will always be a part that can never be avoided, so just do it as a test, but don't put too much faith in it.

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.

An addicted gambler that goes to that point is on a severe type of addiction. When he can no longer take care of his famly or his welfare is because harmed and affected by it.

That gambler is in total out of control and even him can't stop himself forgetting the important matters and affairs outside gambling.

And that becomes a domino impact, from relationship, to finance, to job, etc.

Yes, the difficulty of people gambling excessively only makes things worse, because the brain is full of hopes of big wins every time they make a deposit to play. the other hand uses the method. for example, like the instinct you said. make a deposit to test with good or bad games for now. If you see good game conditions, your instincts could be right, but vice versa, if the game is bad, do it again a few days later

I agree with you. Therefore, I am surprised by people who think of making gambling a source of income. Or someone who believes that gambling can change their life. This is so unreasonable. The chance of losing when gambling is much greater than the chance of winning. Only when you have enormous and unlimited luck will you win the jackpot. When you use your entire budget to gamble just because you think you can double or triple it, you have made the biggest mistake of your life. Don't try to become a gambling addict. You need to learn to regulate your emotions and restrain yourself from spending more money than your entertainment budget.

If we still indulge our lust for gambling with hope it will only be in vain. A lot of time is wasted if we cannot manage our lives normally. On the contrary, if you follow excessive passion, soon will be destroyed. Indeed, if there are gambling people who retire because they are devastated and return to normal, most will definitely return to gambling again, unlike before. Most of the slot game gambling addicts that I see around are becoming aggressive

Indeed, gambling by following one's desires will only make the situation worse because it can lead to actions that are not considered beforehand because one is in an emotional state so that actions can be carried out with big risks. Apart from that, if you gamble without following your instincts, it is still very likely that it will only end in defeat and that can make our emotions uncontrollable, which can trigger worse things to happen, such as risking all the money we have, including our savings.
and there is a very small chance that they will be able to recover to a completely normal condition by being clean from gambling. Those who are seriously addicted to gambling will certainly not be able to get rid of their addiction easily even with help from people who are called professionals in this case such as psychologists because Indeed, when they become addicted, they experience changes in their thinking, not their physical condition, so what needs to be fixed is their thinking, not their physical condition.

with the many cases that have occurred regarding the bad effects of gambling addiction, of course this can be a lesson for us not to gamble excessively. Of course, if we gamble excessively then bad things are the consequences that will definitely happen, even though there is a chance to win but there is no certainty about that. It's also true that those who have a lot of problems, especially financially, are because they don't have good control in gambling, where they gamble with the amount of their allocated budget that exceeds their means, so that makes them have financial problems.
And of course, when a brand's financial situation becomes a mess, this can spread to the people around us, where it is possible that we will resort to violence to make money by asking forcefully from the people around us. We must be aware that excessive gambling can make us addicted and gambling addiction is not easy to cure, in fact some people who try to get out of their addiction fail and return to gambling more aggressively.

Most gamblers first gamble for fun. When a gambler gambles for fun, sometimes they become so addicted that they can't get out of gambling when they have the will.

A gambling addict becomes so true to gambling that it destroys people's lives many times it is seen that they cannot take care of their family properly because of this gambling their family members are very upset with them. Once they win half of the gambling they think that we will get the second half if we win but when they get any money they go back to the bar empty handed almost penniless.

It is absolutely correct if we have thoughts like what you said, namely when we lose and we have already borrowed money from other people then we are responsible for being able to return it as best we can because that is an obligation and if we don't have the money then what should we do immediately? do we still want to borrow money just to gamble or gamble only using as much money as we can because that's the safest step and doesn't carry a big risk.

an action that often occurs and I am sure that all gamblers have most likely done it, by gambling again after experiencing a loss, hoping that the second gambling will result in a win but the result still results in them losing money. and of course if you continue like that with the thought of being able to win by gambling then such actions will continue to be carried out, perhaps even in the long term, and of course it will affect their own finances. they could have fatal financial problems by just following their wrong thinking. Apart from that, having financial problems, such as always losing with frequent gambling, can make them stressed and experience excessive pressure.

When someone is experiencing financial problems, of course this can affect their immediate family, where there is a possibility of conflict between the addict and family members. If they are addicted, of course their relationship with their family will not be very good, there may be arguments that can occur, especially since someone who is addicted to gambling will tend to be more stubborn.

You are right a gambler is not that aware of the risk of gambling while gambling. Had I known about the risks of gambling, I would never have gambled like this. When a gambler is constantly losing money by gambling, his situation is such that if I gamble a second time, I may be able to gain money from gambling, but it turns out that the second time he loses money, thus he gambles and loses money day after day and becomes in debt. So everyone should refrain from this kind of gambling so that they can lead a happy and peaceful life with their families. A gambler never can or does not fulfill his family responsibilities properly.

Oh, but that is already something of a very extreme case, but although addiction is related to that, personally I have always said that the things that cause addiction are very strong, we must attack those symptoms that define a addiction, because that can become a misfortune, but I say something, a person who knows that he has a family, that he has children and that he totally gives himself over to an addiction, well, it is something that should not be admitted, therefore when we are Seeing that the best option for things is to leave it up to that point for the family, it should be left up to that point. Not only is it irresponsible that the person acted, but he also lets the children become malnourished, that is something that should never be allowed. In fact, in all countries there are rescue organizations for children when they have irresponsible parents, it is better that they pass into the hands of the state and not let them die, because they have to take the children from that person.

And well, with respect to the mother, if she is not addicted, then she should take charge or do something quickly, get to work, help the children get their batteries together, because how else are they going to do it? You have to do something so that your children can get ahead, and if the woman can't, then unfortunately they have to let the state take charge, this is just what I have always said can be done, if this were to happen in my country, I think that The children would take it to the government home, it is not a good thing, but at least they are not left to die of hunger and that is something that is already good on that side, but you have to be very tactful when it comes to being in a casino and with obligations, I believe that there are things that are above a casino, of games, that is only what we must see, addictions something that we must be very careful of, that is why the best strategy should always be done is by having a total money to lose so that things do not get out of control.
