. If they know that playing gambling have a big risk, they will not do that very often and just use gambling for occasionally with the money they can afford to lose. They will not use gambling as an escape but use other things that will gives fun to them.

You just need to be able to expand your horizons and be able to find new activities and hobbies. If someone has only a job and gambling and this is all his leisure time, then such a person is doomed to the abyss. You need to meet with friends, it's free, but their words heal better than any therapy, you need to be able to ask your loved ones for support, and then the gambler is unlikely to get bogged down in uncontrolled play, and as a result, lose all his savings. In general, you need to be able to find and understand something new for yourself.

Like a proverb that in love the medicine of the heart is that you have to find a new heart as a solution to forget your previous heartbreak haha and I am also sure that the proverb also applies to other things, or what it means is that when you want to forget something then you have to find many new things to distract yourself from the pain in the past, like gambling which means I agree with you that when a gambler wants to stop gambling then the first thing to do is find a new hobby and then forget all the losses they have ever experienced in gambling, and if for example you don't want to stop completely but just want to change your approach to be better then in my opinion there is no other way than to re-understand as a whole about how gambling really is, because that way you will know what to do and what to avoid in every situation.

All people have different ways to escape from reality in those moments when something happens and there is no desire to accept what happened. I know those who start drinking alcohol in fairly large quantities; others probably go to the casino. It is normal if we sometimes want to play; despite all our feelings, we cannot always be in a cheerful mood. However, if we combine alcohol and gambling to put our fate on roulette, such steps sometimes end badly. Therefore, being under stress, you can play to somehow cheer yourself up, but remembering that tomorrow will require some money will be a good reminder and warning to play carefully, without unnecessary spending.

True, we can't mix them together to entertain ourselves even when we are not under stress, alcohol will make us unfocused on what we are doing and more sensitive to impulsive behavior in making decisions.
I think we can play normally it's much better, with the limits set before making the bet it will be much better to entertain ourselves in gambling, people have different goals in gambling, only if we seek pleasure to satisfy ourselves in gambling is also a very silly act, instead of entertaining ourselves, it is too dangerous in my opinion.

You have a point in saying this dude, I admit it, I often say that I only gamble for fun, but even though my money is limited, I still think sometimes that I might get lucky and win big.

But this is just a passing thought in my mind, because once my limits are exhausted, I actually stop because I'm used to it.

It's okay like that, besides with your limited money it's good and you yourself must be able to limit your own gambling, don't let it be that when the limited money runs out you want to deposit money again to gamble again, when the money runs out you must stop not to gamble again in any way, especially by borrowing money, that's the wrong way. And thinking that sometimes we will be lucky to get a win is a natural thing but what must be considered is not to chase luck that we don't know when it will happen.
Maintain your habits like this, and if you have friends who like to gamble, maybe you can remind your friends not to gamble excessively and can gamble like you do with strictly set limits.

Actually they already know that it is a wrong action but the main problem is that it is difficult for them to make peace with the situation, most of them are controlled by emotions which will continue to drive them to move forward and usually they will only stop when all their money is gone at that time but even running out of money is not the end point for them to stop because not infrequently they also use loans as an alternative to fund their gambling activities so that they can continue to play.
Maybe I can say that one of the reasons why it is often difficult for them to be responsible for all the decisions they have taken is because they only think about winning or are too focused and confident that they will win until in the end there is no doubt at all for them to always act excessively.

I think that I am definitely liking the sound of the football staduim much much more rather than the casino. If you're betting on a match at least you have the gratification of enjoying it over just sitting in some dim lit room with a bunch of other folks who are probably half drunk and all gambling their money aimlessly to try and win something or catch a rare streak of luck in many cases, unless you're on a wild streak!!! Definitely a possibility haha

You are right because the sound of the football stadium make us exciting watching our favorite team match. We can join with other people who have the same team and supports our team together. With that way, we will found a different experience rather than drunk and bet without any reason. That will make us can not leave the place even if we have something to do. We must avoid that habit so we will not getting deeper in gambling like other people.

That's right, because many cases of big losses with more money lost are because they can't consider what they will do by usually only thinking about what to do without thinking about the risks that could happen in the future. Gambling in my opinion is something that clearly has a big risk, and it is not natural to do it when we are not in a good condition. Why are we looking for an escape? because at this time we are in a bad condition and we are looking for an escape to make us better instead of making things worse, with gambling maybe it can make some of them better but I myself think the bigger chance is that it can make their situation even more messy.

They just gamble without thinking about tomorrow and not realize that gambling can not be an escape from the reality. Sometimes we are looking for an escape because we don't want to do something that look bored so we do other things such as playing gambling but we don't realize that playing gambling needs moderation to enjoy the games. If they know that playing gambling have a big risk, they will not do that very often and just use gambling for occasionally with the money they can afford to lose. They will not use gambling as an escape but use other things that will gives fun to them.

Therefore, we should always consider the actions or decisions we will take, and make sure we are ready for the possible results that are disappointing, do not let the results that tend to be disappointing make us want to chase or recover losses because it tends to only make us addicted. Gambling itself can indeed make us addicted, even though those who gamble with the aim of having fun are sometimes tempted to play gambling longer.
Good advice, when we are stressed, it is better for us to find activities that we like with the aim of making us calmer, for example by finding a comfortable place for reflection or others, but with those who take the option of gambling for escape I think it will not be completely successful and will not go well completely.

If reason prevailed over feelings, we would not see a huge number of addicted people, and not only in the field of gambling. Only a small part of gamblers can really control their compulsive desires, imposed by the release of dopamine, adrenaline and other hormones and neurotransmitters. Most can control themselves before and after the gambling session, and during the gambling session succumb to temptation. This is the way the human body works and it is difficult to cope with it, especially if a person has a predisposition to addiction on a psychological level.

It is a fact that it is like that, but there are strategies to help, my technique is very helpful, when the person is fit it has to be treated quickly, the idea is to get out of that problem, that illness has to be attacked quickly so that the person does not lose control of their life, some lose everything, family and many things, it is always good to have help in particular.

Here it is good to share this type of experiences because we do not know how many people are in that situation, and when they read something like that they can identify and if what we talk about helps in part we are doing this well, that is why I always recommend before playing to know how much money we are willing to spend and from there no more.

I totally get how gambling can sometimes turn into a communal activity, especially in unique cultural settings like funerals. In my experience, I’ve never seen gambling directly tied to grieving or somber events, but I’ve played casually during family gatherings or just to lighten the mood during stressful times. It’s kind of fascinating to hear people use it as a comforting ritual or, in some cases, a means to help with financial needs during tough times. I guess everyone has their own way of coping or finding connection.

In my country, some gamblers make use of the funeral as business. They set up table games and give some commission to the bereaved family. For a poor family, this seems to be a huge help, and so they allow it.

We might say this is an old tradition because ancient people did this as their normal activities. Unfortunately, what happens now is quite different and not looking good anymore, as people just gather not to give sympathy to the family but just to gamble.

Damn it...seems like funeral in your country is an opportunity for people to gamble publicly without thinking of the harm it will cause to the younger ones in that vicinity. This means that during funerals, making money is the aim to assemble and sympathize with the bereaved. It means that your tradition encourages gambling to the core.

Addictions in general are used as mean to escape from aversive feelings, emotions and memories, therefore, with gambling it's not different. If people were more sincere to their selves and conscious of their real needs and aspirations in life, we would see less cases of addiction in the world.

Indeed, it is as you say, but to be good with yourself and have control over everything you have to do only one thing, control the money you are going to spend at the casino and if you spend it, then respect not to put more money into the game, that is the secret, that is where emotions are controlled, instincts are controlled, absolutely everything is controlled, because reason is above feelings and emotions, which affects anyone, but controlling money no longer affects it and addiction would not exist, that is why I insist so much that players apply it.

The desire to get a win to cover the losses that occur can happen whenever they gamble even though they have good self-control, it does not completely close them from being able to gamble well, sometimes disappointing results can affect their own feelings until there is a feeling to gamble regularly and ignore the risk side which is actually the most certain thing to happen.
The right choice and advice when we are in a bad condition such as being stressed, we should not visit the casino because even though we can take pleasure in this, considering the risk is greater and can make us addicted and lose a lot of money and experience other bad effects, after all, prevention is better than cure, right?

That is true because we can lose our self control in gambling anytime so that is why we must be careful when playing gambling. We can not let ourselves gets deeper in gambling after we use gambling as an escape from the reality because that will makes us forget what we need to do. Gambling tempting people to stay for a long time by playing more gambling games so we will ignore the risk inside gambling and we lose our money.

If we are stress, we don't have to visit the casino instead just calm down ourselves by relaxing with other activities such as walking in our city or the best thing is just sleep. If we decide to playing gambling while we stress, that will makes us losing our self control and will frustrate if we lose for some money. We need to anticipate that for ourselves so we must know how to stay away from gambling and not use it as an escape.

Therefore, we should always consider the actions or decisions we will take, and make sure we are ready for the possible results that are disappointing, do not let the results that tend to be disappointing make us want to chase or recover losses because it tends to only make us addicted. Gambling itself can indeed make us addicted, even though those who gamble with the aim of having fun are sometimes tempted to play gambling longer.

People will always have a way of abusing something that’s been a good tradition, especially when they have something to gain or benefit from it. I’ve heard of this same thing somewhere and i personally think it’s quite a great initiative and a also a great way of offering condolences to the bereaved families, but it’s such a shame that people are now abusing it and using it for their own selfish interests, they forget why the activity was first introduced in the first place and are now after what they stand to gain, it’s such a shame.

I often wonder if people do not have any human feelings again, the desperation for money is too much. If it can reach the level of using the funeral service to arrange the means by which they can make money, they can do worse terribly thing to make money. This is a selfish interest and I wonder why the bereaved allows it if not for poverty and I am sure the organizers will pocket the most of the money. I so much blame those who are participating in such betting, they could have just donated to the bereaved family honourably.

If we can realize as what you said, I am sure that many people will not use gambling as an escape because they will think that they will lose more money. Many people chase their losses in gambling so that will be our reason to stay away from the big lose and not tempting from the offers from the casino easily. We should know that when we are stress, we must not doing something that can makes us sadly but we must search for the activities that can makes us becomes happy and can move on from the bad things.

When gambling becomes a mean to escape from the stress of daily life there aren't any issues in placing some bets around. As you said, it's therapeutic. The real problem begins when the individual aims to escape from a situation he has to solve in life, but he doesn't want to, so he keeps procrastinating it, or when gambling is being used to escape from the negative emotions of a frustration or previous trauma faced along the life.

Addictions in general are used as mean to escape from aversive feelings, emotions and memories, therefore, with gambling it's not different. If people were more sincere to their selves and conscious of their real needs and aspirations in life, we would see less cases of addiction in the world.

Escaping from reality and only use gambling to forget what we face will not solve our problem because that can gives more problems than we thinks. When we want to playing gambling, we must make sure that we are in a normal condition and not thinks much about gambling so we can release our stress in busy day and enjoy the games. But we must know that playing gambling needs to have responsibility so we can use gambling to have fun while we have a spare time.

In this case, they have made gambling become more like fun actually because imagine playing gambling and giving the bereaved family the commissions that comes from the gambling, such a fun fact. The commission that the bereaved family will get from the gambling activities can be of great help and relief to them especially when they are not financially equipped. It's unfortunate that those old tradition has gone into extinction and most people are more concerned about themselves when they gamble in funeral events now. No more gambling commission for the bereaved family as gamblers who comes to the funeral are only after their personal benefits from gambling activities they engage in.

People's attitudes are unlikely to change because gambling advertising is very common, and casinos are advertised by various bloggers, telegram channels and even some journalists who do not seem to represent the gambling sphere in their activities, but still act as mouthpieces of the fact that gambling is a way to make good money. And that it is very cool and it is definitely worth trying your strength and luck.

the main problem is that betting often becomes compulsive and not because you like doing it
people get caught up in the gambling frenzy, convinced that they can play and win and therefore lose money
even the bonuses they give you serve perfectly to make you play and get into the mood of spending money in order to win them

Well, actually, I wouldn't say that bonuses keep the attention on the game that much. Basically, they can't be withdrawn without wagering x1.5-2, and so people play because there is no other choice. But these bonuses are easier to lose than to win something with them. I think it would be more effective for the casino to give bonuses that can be withdrawn without any conditions and requirements. This would show the casino's trust in users and give them some leeway to make free decisions. And in these conditions, people would be more willing to play, since it would be their own decision, and not a condition of the casino.
