it's all about curious and we are trying to play the games. after we feel in the first time of the games we've played, the curiosity become bigger and attract us to try more and more without we realize that we are losing much money. and from this, if we continue to play with the money that we have, we can lose all the money we had so if we lose the money, we can become depressed, angry, sad, and of course, still curious that we cannot win and finally we become an addicting person in gambling. so I think we can help this person to get out from the addicting situations but he needs to have a strong passion to leave the gambling games forever.

Not many people are easy to leave from gambling addict, and sometimes it can have something to do with their living conditions, as well as their environment, it can make it difficult to leave it, because of certain influences. I think in essence., the intention in the heart that's really strong to never touch the slightest smell of gambling even though it's difficult, well., I think there should be a change of new situation, circumstance/condition.

gambling addicted is serious problem although they're know gambling is bad but they can't stopped their habit even they want and if they have money then they will back to gambling and very difficult to healing this but indeed to cure addicted gambling the person himself have to dicipline to quit gambling and i think family support also necessary because family can give strong influence to cure this
it is true because it happens to the dissatisfaction of the victory to get a very big advantage hoping to re-meme bets in every game makes a person very difficult to stop.

To be honest with you being really addicted to gambling only happens when you have a weak mind. I will admit I did gamble in the past and obviously the possibility of winning a lot of money in 1 spin/click is very tempting, at least at first, once you start losing or when you lose everything the temptation becomes anger. I once earned around 2 bitcoins starting with 0.004 in the past, it was around 1k $ total and then I lost everything. Losing everything didn't make me want to play more, it made me angry and made me realize I was stupid enough to keep playing even after such big winnings.
this is what is vital, when we are faced with great victories, and at that moment we become addicted. Well, actually even though we are addicted to gambling, in fact we should still be able, I'm a gambling addict. but I can hold myself when I do not think I can afford to lose more
Good for some people who can able to control themselves but there are really people who cant able to resist such addiction.Big winnings do act as a booster which would add up the addiction or do create gradually the motivation to play even more.If you do have financial capability then high chances you would fall into addiction but if you are on a situation where money is important due to responsibilities i would say that your self awareness will surely control you.

I wouldn't call addicts weak people, I think that under the 'right' circumstances almost anyone can become addicted.
Doesn't happen to weak people exclusively and you're not necessarily weak if you can't quit.

Sometimes I think it might be better if we approach addiction as if it was an actual disease.
Usually it's even out of the addicts direct control whether he can quit or not.

I know all the things you say are true various tiger ways to to quit from the past history that can be said as a gambler expert who was once a gambler and now want to stop with some excuses of fatigue or others but what if we have done some time then we fall again in that matter most important than the aoa on your topic environment is very influential to support the intention and belief to stop gambling.

Yes,you have your point.But other addicted gamblers wish to gain back their money after big losses so they intend to play more and more to the extent of selling their own valuables just to play again.Their own greediness will only lead them to their own self-destruction.And this would be the hardest part to stop and recover.But i believe with your own will and determination and with the help of your loved ones,you can still get through from this and overcome addiction.

The problem within addictive people is that it is really hard to change an actual routine. As I said before, quiting gambling is like moving on after your girlfriend ditches you. It is not easy, but if you get used to the new routine, you will be able to forget about her completely. The only thing you have to do is convince yourself that you will never go back to that life (Gambling), because if you do, you will suffer and it will be hard to move on.

99% of the gamblers know the results but still they want that 1% who got lucky. out of 100 only 1 person will change and that too if he got  holded  strongly by his family and friends. Their are so many threads related to this topic and still no one have even came and told that they changed their life after reading this all post.

Gamblers addiction is not curable. The end is either they will become bankrupt or die. This is the bitter truth of the gambling addiction. 
I don't think that anyone who had gambling addiction and was able to overcome it from this forum or outside it will want to be reminded with it, he won't come back to a gambling discussion where people talk about wining and casinos, to overcome gambling addiction one needs to cut off anything that has to do with it and surround himself with distraction to not feel the urge to go back to it again, and i would like to think that many people have done that, and i don't need them to show up here and talk about it.

Gambling is not the problem, nor is the depression or the looses you made. Problems never stem from outside they stem from inside and it's sad to read about your uncle but I don't think gambling is the problem. We're often ridiculed or there is a resentment in us which we refuse to let go and that's the problem.The patterns we create are what we get so for everyone including your uncle read the book heal your life by Louis hay. #stopblaminggambling.
I am not a philosopher and cannot get such deep things but as far as in can see, losing money for no reason is pathetic and indeed a very big problem. No whatsoever reason caused this to happen, if someone loses his amount, he indeed is in a deep trouble. Definitely, it is up to individual what he chooses to do but if ever there was nothing like gambling, there would not have been ruined poor gamblers around. This game ruins life.

Every addiction can be a big problem, gambling isn't special about it. That's excessive use of something, and only way for addict to stop use what he uses is on him to decide that. You can't cure addicts if they don't wish to be cured, if you forbid them to use one thing they will find another addiction.
Gambling is entertainment, as long as you see it like that, as long as you spend money you can afford to lose on that fun, like you would on any other fun thing, you will not have problems with gambling addiction. Control over emotions is the answer on all addictions, control your actions, your money, your health, and you will not lose more then you can. Usually addicts have big expectations, when they don't fulfil them they fall deeper and deeper in addiction.

I would rather say that out of millions only one person is this lucky that he becomes really rich by gambling. Everyone thinks that they can be like him. No doubt, there is a possibility if this too but why choosing such a terrible and dark path when we can earn money in a proper decent way which will also bring some respect. Gambling is a wastage of time. It can also lead a person to committing suicide.

Although you have good intentions, I seriously doubt that what you say will help anyone to recover from gambling addiction. For people with serious problems the only solution is to quit gambling forever, not even one small bet. That same person can do this either with his willpower or by self-exclusion and help from friends, relatives and maybe psychiatrists.
Well, I believe there is another way. Nowadays pretty much everyone is addicted to something. I am not talking about the usual addictions like drugs, alcohol and stuff. I am talking about coffee, smartphones and computer games. People just decide that some addictions are not so bad, while others are terrible. Of course, the bad thing about gambling is losing money. This means a person should transfer his/her passion for gambling onto some other activity. A very good choice is going for sports. Whether it's a team playing or not, a person is still likely to feel anxious and excited about the experience while not spending so much money. I think this would be easier and more pleasant for the addict.

It is not a bad idea that he shared it though, but most addicts already know some of these things, but they cannot just help it.
The difference between someone who is in control and someone who is not is that some allow gambling to get the full control over them while some put themselves in control, which is one thing some people do not understand and instead of realizing that if you are gambling

You should either be doing it because you want to have fun or not doing it but whichever way, never gamble to concentrate on the winning as you will make bad decisions that leads to addiction most of the time.

As I saw my uncle become depressed regarding on gambling loss and addiction, i become pity to those who are already on these pit. But when this all begin? I hope i would get some gambling addicts here change their minds.

It all begins with a simple curiosity. A man is curious by nature and it sometimes lead us to places we do not want to be. We tend to get curiosed at first. What do they do ? Is it easy ? How do they do that? How can they earn that ? Can i do that also?. You start to wonder things you see on people who already on the gambling business. Seeing yourself on their feet and crave  about their life.

Now you want to get it experienced. You always look up on their winnings and get blinded by all the money they boast about. Your eagerness will get you on hand and start getting yourself into it little by little. Once you already know how to play, you are now on the first step to your grave.

It always feels like the first time.. This is what you tell yourself when you win and never realized that the money you earn is not enough to fill the money you lose. You just keep your bet until the last drop of your penny and even all your things convertible to cash starting to be the pot money. Now that you are addicted, its almost impossible to stop. Your mood started to change and even your family wants to push you away.

Now you want to die. and you know it is the only way to escape your problems. You have none. No money, no assets, no friends and even a family. The only thing left is you, your greedyness and your love of gambling. But is this the only way ? What option do you have? Let me help you.

Think about your life in the past. know how far youve been through this and how rough you have experience when you start to have this life you choose. Think the reason ypu start it. Is it woth it ? Now that you know the answer, start makong change. This was the hardest part but many people came through it, they overcome it, you can do it also.

Start changing yourself. if you learn how to love yourself, you can start loving others like your family. Start to rebuild your relationships with them by doing things you stop doing when you start gambling. Gamblers just love you when you have money but your family always loves you no matter what. Start moving away on things that remind you from gambling. The rest would be your own history.


Just telling how it started makes me feel bad. I hope those aspirant gamblers will not be in this situation.
I know you just want to help by your encouraging words but I will tell you the truth it won't affect those gamblers especially those who are already hooked to it. The only person that can help them is their one and only inner self if they are already willing and determine to change cos if not even how many thousands of people giving advice it is still nothing.

I can say that you narration is all about hasty generalization which is based on the experience you have or someone close to you had. I gamble and the beginning you enumerated does not in any way related to what I witnessed neither was it borne out of the quest to be rich or envious of those who made some money out of it. I actually started because I participated in the bounty of gambling sites that made it mandatory that the payment should be wagered at least once before being eligible for withdrawal while to others, it was as a result of payments made to their compulsory account created on the betting site.

And when I decide to tone it down, it was not because I became addicted and couldn't move on with life. It was borne out of the feeling of 'its a waste of time" and nothing else. Anytime I feel like making a run for my money, I try it out with the hope of losing and when I get disappointed, I am happy.

LOL, he seems written article from the own life incident. Whether it is Uncle you need to avoid the greediness and emotion while you are investing on the gambling platform. Most of the gambling is are not meant for you make the profit there.
Sometimes with the luck you may make the money but other than that you need to be careful with picking the odds, slot rolling and etc...
I always concentrate on sportsbetting other than I do not like and I would not invest on gambling sites mate.
