Topic: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! - page 14. (Read 3205 times)

When someone experiences defeat while gambling, sometimes this can encourage them to continue gambling, because they want to avenge their previous defeat. And quite a few also think that if you often experience defeat, a big win will be closer to being achieved.

Just one loss can make someone behave badly and return to gambling. Especially when he wins..! And when someone gets a big win in gambling, this sometimes encourages someone to bet even crazier, making him even more ambitious to chase bigger wins than before. Because according to him luck was on his side.

And what you say is true, we have to be really wise in managing our time, and don't let gambling become an activity that has a bad impact on ourselves and interferes with other activities. It is indeed difficult to be able to do that, but when we cannot manage our time well, the situation we face will be even more difficult.
Gambling is indeed a fun and entertaining activity, but when we cannot control it well, this gambling will only make us more miserable.

This incident is very ironic, I can't imagine someone who hits or criticizes his father until he experiences life-threatening pain and his father is in critical condition in hospital, and many other cases have an impact on changing behavior towards your parents and family, they have lost their mind to hit anything what they saw and their anger was so high that it was uncontrollable, all due to losing at gambling. Gambling addicts who act criminally should be estranged from their families because they can do anything unexpected, unless they realize the mistake of stopping gambling and are willing to be rehabilitated to recover from gambling addiction.

The remark that "For better or for worse gambling will definitely affect your mood and behaviour" is not always applicable as you quoted it, it depends on the gambler, his plan for gambling and the mindset at which he is gambling as well. For me, I always say it's relative because, for example, I don't feel a single thing when I gamble with casinos. Do you know why? It's because I don't ever believe that I can make big money from it. So, this mindset has been helping me for so long and has helped me to prepare my mind and my budget for casinos accurately without mixed psychological feelings. Nowadays, I bet with a very low amount of money with casinos, this is because my mind has been resolved on the fun part that I can derive from it, but not money.

This is why I am convinced and I say it practically that I feel nothing about casino betting. I just don't have a better feeling for the money made and a worse feeling for the money lost as you put it. But for my sportsbook betting, yes, I must say that it often affects my emotions a bit, it's a bit because I mostly gain in it, though I do not bet anyhow, I carefully select my games and I do not put my mind in the result no matter what the outcome states. Maybe that is why it doesn't affect me, and I implore everyone to do the same. The better part is that I do not bet huge money on regular matches but only on crucial matches like the matches that decide the final. UCL final is an example. So, people should try to tame their feelings as much as they can, it's possible, it's about planning and discipline and how they can control their feelings and bet reasonably.

I know of someone who came back home after losing some money and used a broken bottle on his father because he shouted on him and tried to scold him for his irresponsible way of living, the father landed in a hospital but he nearly lost his life, the son later revealed that he lost a lot of money in gambling and he was so mad that he could do anything to harm anyone.

There is also another that lost a big amount of money and he decide to put the blame on a co-worker, he stole some.money at work to repay the money he lost in gambling, and make the co-worker look like the culprit, he was arrested and during questioning he confessed it all.

Gambling can change the way you think, either for good or for worse, if you don't risk what you are not ready to lose you won't have any problem, you can only misbehave if you lose money that you aren't prepared to lose, this is also what drives people to committing suicide.

If you do really know on how to set those limits then you would likely to be able to avoid such addiction on which this is something that much preferred if we do speak about dealing with gambling.
Usually people do really get addicted on the time that they wont really be setting out limits on which they do really have in mind that they could be able to make huge money or income with gambling.
Just like on what i have said earlier that it is really just that normal that we do really have those kind of reactions since we are just humans, the important thing on here is that you should really know
on when to stop specially if you are already losing that much. Dont wait up for everything to become that sever before you would really be able to make out those realizations.

Indeed, right, the amount of your set budget and that self-control will both give you the barometer not to fall in any type of addiction. I'm pretty sure that if that's an easy task to do, we will not see too many people addicted to gambling. Neither are you just enjoying yourself nor aiming to make money. Both carry that emotion behind. It's more about how you manage to stay with your plan and keep that emotion out of the picture. Once you exceed if ever that there's an unnecessary situation, always remember to pause and take that break to reset your composure.

It's more about the way you take that challenge and how good you are at keeping the balance inside you. The more pressure you get, the more focused you should be. Keep it in mind that sway in any behavioral only takes place when adrenaline has already altered inside.

Addiction puts lots of underlying problems in the life of the gambler and the emotional trauma addicts face through gambling, hardly erases from their memory. Even when they're done with therapy and choose to avoid gambling. If you've hung out with them, you'd notice that their memory has been flooded with lots of agony and anguish, which they won't stop talking about when with a close friend. Gamblers who try to avoid these ill treatments from family and friends, tend to hide their addiction. Because losing our loved ones isn't an easy experience in life, and it hurts the most when we are aware that these people left due to the result of our actions. Surviving gambling addiction is difficult, but possible, removing the memory it creates is impossible as it's cemented in our brain and that of our loved ones, who were affected by the addict's ill behavior. The addicts disturb their mental peace. Continuously asking for money, with no meaningful results or explanation for what they did with their money.

Remember whenever we abuse a privilege it's almost like hurting ourselves indirectly. These loved ones can't sleep at night without wondering about whether to send the money or not. This affects the lifestyle of the addict's loved ones and could deter their productivity. Hence, they can't help, but avoid the addict, to suffer alone, as they wouldn't want to be affected by the problem of their addicted brother or husband. However, the thoughts we have on addicts get different, when we understand that they are not in control of their actions and emotions. Mental disorder is a chronicle disease and can lead to physical pains and then to death. It also costs lots of funds to cure, as it may take many months for the addict to be completely gambling-free.  So if the person is capable of changing his decisions, then his addiction hasn't gotten too deep, and such a player could be considered lucky and needs to be helped immediately, or if he can lower gradually the rate at which he gambles, then he won't cross to the side of addiction where the addict won't be able to help himself.

you need therapy my dude, well most of the gambles felt the samw with your emotions everybody is changes moods when they loosing money everybody knows that and the we only want is winning in life but thats not the point of gambling this is why your need to control your emotion for you to be patient. And since you already knows that you even shouting at your kid when he grow up he knew that gambling is good because of the trauma. and when you do this everyday his feeling for you soon become nothing.

For better or for worse gambling will definitely affect you mood and behavior. I've seen the most common example being that people are more neurotic and hasty with their decisions, sometimes even hysterical just cause they couldn't for the life of them not let gambling rule their lives. On the other hand I've seen people become more responsible with their money, with some even being able to set up spending allocations and budgets as well as financial planning which they got from gambling.

Gambling can change you. but don't let it be for the worse. We have enough people in the looney bins already, make sure you don't become one of them.

It's understandable that if you win you feel better while if you lose your mood is not good. But it's not right that the people around you suffers. Learn how to manage your emotion when you gamble and try to control yourself. So even after playing regardless of the result, you're still fine because gambling doesn't affect your behavior.

Before, I experienced this too. I can't handle myself and it's hard to accept the reality of losing my money in gambling. But then, I think I became used to losses and was able to face the fact that if you gamble, you need to expect that you'll lose your money. Thus, just enjoy the game and don't spend the money that you can't live without. Because if you have high hopes that's the where the problem starts.

Of course, a minimal amount of budget will be able to keep your mental and psychological calm and awake, that's what is more recommended because with that I think you will be enough to avoid the name of addiction, because you are able to accept the condition of defeat because the money you bet is able to account for you. That's very important to note because usually someone will easily do things out of control when they don't accept defeat which ultimately makes them act out of control and instead put a much larger amount because they want to pursue a break-even point that is almost impossible.

I think most of the gamblers will not be able to hold all their emotions when they face such conditions, not only in gambling but in real life as well and I admit I am also quite difficult when I have to hold back to vent emotions because of something. If there are no emotions in humans then I think there will be no people who enter addiction, because emotions are the starting point for people to act out of control which makes them finally trapped in a cycle of addiction consciously and unconsciously. So the point is that the amount of the budget is really important and must be considered.

Whenever a player starts playing and is in a possible addiction it is difficult for him to manage his emotions, in fact what led him to an addiction is the same fact that he could not control his emotions, I had seen in a thread where a person Is she guilty of being a seradict? Maybe yes, we are adults, it is assumed that someone who plays in a casino is an addicted person, right? But when we are in a place that has to do with luck and considering that things are hard enough to win, then You have to put a lot of emphasis on not doing much because you want to improve the game, the addicted player will always find excuses to play, some say that they discovered how to win, and how to beat the system, which is totally false, so in this case order of ideas a person with this type of problem has to be treated quickly, whether with a psychologist or doing any other type of activity.

In a casino, when we see a person with an addiction, it can be said that many of them know how to hide it, but if not, there are others who are very obvious, they can see you and ask for money like that out of nowhere, now if you are known, friend or something, well, with more reason they can ask you for money, that is something that we have to see and sometimes addiction makes them lose all kinds of pain, that is something that cannot be avoided, the very addiction takes away everything those prejudices, then we could also think that when a person becomes aware that everything can change, sometimes they resist, they do not agree with the conditions, with the criteria of those who know and they can become very brave if they realize that they should lower the intensity of gambling a little, but things should be like that because otherwise you can have quite a few consequences for everything, because not only do you lose money, some lose friends, others family, that's just the worst thing in the world, some even they die.

Yes, you are right on this one on which if you do know that you are really just that spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose then you would really be having that much calmer mind comparing into those people who had been using already those important funds or money on which already allocated for something then you would really be having that kind of emotion spike on the time that you would really be losing those funds on which it is really that something you can compare when you are really that being too impulsive when you are using those funds which you cant afford to lose. There are ones who do really be able to handle out themselves with gambling when it comes to emotion but not all would really be that able to do that and this is why we do see that there are
ones who do get easily addicted due on being too impulsive.

Consider your money as payment for your leisure and not to exceed from your set budget, it will be more easier to continue enjoying and not to have that certain changes with your attitude, with the aim of winning or making decent profits, you are placing pressure with your gambling activities, but if you only using this venue to have some fun, it will not allow any foreign emotions that might lead you to a certain behavior that you'll going to regret in the future. Make that limitation and avoid having a mood swing accept if you lose enjoy when you win and there's should no more after that.

Never make a promise when you are happy. Profit makes you happy because your brain releases feel-good chemicals when you earn money quickly. You also have to control your anger because your kids or other people shouldn't be affected by your loses. My personal suggestion for you is to stop gambling for profit, gamble for fun, that's all that matters. Every casino game has house edge, that gives them guaranteed advantage over you and also mathematically, the more you gamble, the less chance you have to win, so, don't think like the more I roll slots, the higher my chance will be to win the jackpot. Stop gambling for profit, that's the only advice that I can give you and then you other people around you won't be affected by the anger that gambling causes in you.

That's a common thing experienced by someone in my opinion and not just when it has to do with gambling, where when something pleasant happens their attitude will be very sweet to the people closest to them, and conversely when something unpleasant happens then even a trivial thing can trigger it. to be angry with anyone we meet.
I also feel the same thing when I win, there is a feeling of happy, even though I don't change my attitude to be more patient and so on, but when I lose, it actually disturbs my concentration at work, that's why it's very important to gamble when you have free time, not at work or when you're going to work, so it doesn't disturb your concentration when the results did not match expectations because we lost.

Gambling evokes strong emotions, so dont treat gamblers like idiots. They realize the stakes and risks. A reality check, not a lecture, is needed. Gambling is a game, an entertainment. We must emphasize that it is not profitable. Make them regard it as a thrill, escape, and test of chance and skill.

Not rocket science about self-control. We must urge them to play with their heads, not simply their hearts. Gambling's about the rush, but also the brains. Have fun, play wisely, and remember its a game. They must learn to quit and gamble within their means. Its about harnessing excitement, not repressing it. Let kids enjoy the game's ups and downs without losing sight of reality.

First of it, I’am sorry for what you are facing now. Addiction is something very serious and should be treated as any other sickness, if you let it spread you may destroy yourself and your family, look at your beloved ones if you don’t want to lose them, look at your kiddo if you want him to be safe and provide him everything he wants instead of looking much at yourself and spending your earnings on gambling.

Depends on what you play, the amount you deposit daily or weekly, the time you spend there. All these will be treated and should be taken seriously. The only solution is to talk with your family about it and schedule  an appointment with on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the best solution for gambling disorder and bad behavior.

As I said before, what makes someone do things differently, especially in terms of control, is because there are other incentives such as circumstances or personal characteristics that they have, such as being easily provoked or having a temperamental nature, and that is what makes it almost difficult for gamblers to control themselves. all actions beyond the control that exist in his mind. The only people who are able to do this are probably those who are still at a good level of awareness so that they are able to choose the best decisions correctly.

Yes, it is true that habits  are very difficult to change, they require seriousness and strong firmness to be able to exercise proper control when in such conditions. I think it all comes down to how skilled they are at managing their own control when they are in such conditions.

The level of hope and expectations that are too high makes it difficult for them to think realistically in terms of considering for a change for the better, they are aware and know that it is the best thing to do but the problem is that it is not easy for them to fight emotions when the situation is really hot due to defeat and loss of money which for them means a lot. I think the first thing that should be changed is in terms of understanding the gambling itself, do not let them think that gambling is a way to make money because there is always no certainty, the second is to bet with an amount that can be accounted for to lose.

I think with the two things above at least it will not make them too upset and disappointed if they really lose again. And also I think self-control and some limits will not be too difficult to do if indeed they have a good understanding and awareness, because usually something that cannot be controlled starts from emotions that cannot be restrained, so by putting a small budget and reducing expectations then I think it will not be too difficult to do.
