I understand the appeal of gambling, especially for the poor. A glimmer of hope, right? My knowledge of odds tells me that the house always wins in the long term. Statistics are truthful. Most individuals fall deeper, which is problematic. Psychological and financial ruin are involved. So heartbreaking.

I support personal responsibility, but be honest. People need the whole story, the brutal facts. Not betting all their hopes on a long shot is the solution. We need real chances, not desperation-based systems, to improve lives. Education, work training, etc. A opportunity to win life through hard work and assistance, not a lottery ticket

But in my opinion every gambling addict should not try to stop gambling, sometimes people are too focused on wanting to just stop gambling, even though it takes time to reduce their addiction, it can't be short, so everyone must understand that all gamblers should focus more on reducing their gambling habits. because it is this habit that makes desires and distractions stick to us more and there is an urge to continue gambling, I have tried this and I am not trying to stop gambling but reduce gambling by limiting the budget and time, as long as it is controlled everything will be fine.

Everyone will easily stop playing gambling when they are used to gambling at certain times and not every day gambling eventually becomes a habit that sticks, gambling addiction is indeed a disease that is difficult to cure, even the people closest to it will also find it difficult to cure it, let alone help it to recover, the point is that it is enough to reduce or manage your gambling time and set a budget so that you don't gamble excessively and look for other pleasures besides gambling because the mindset must also be trained that gambling is to seek pleasure and have fun and nothing more than that.

How do you think is that easy for someone to stop gambling when he his actually suffering from a gambling disorder whereby he is unable to control himself, then he can indeed stop gambling, then he should be able to control himself from being an addicted gambler, this same thing have been found with many gamblers whereby they have started what they can't be able to finish, obstinance could be the remedy and in this situation, the gambler will be left with no choice than to have no access to any means that can make him gamble, which is out of what he can control by himself.

There's really only one solution available to control this uncontrollable urge and that is to stop gambling at all. Once you get to the point where you no longer can control your gambling habit it has already become an addiction, and it's a serious problem that you have to deal with as soon as possible.

Yes, that's exactly what gambling companies want from you, to get you addicted and suck all your money until you have nothing left. There's no secret about it. We can talk all day about moral aspects of gambling industry but that's for a different topic.

The thing is, no one is forcing you to gamble your money. To you, it feels that way because you're addicted so you feel like you have no control. But you've got to realize that every time you are gambling/betting it was your decision to do so and you've got to take responsibility for it. Sure, gambling companies will try and do the best they can to entice you to start gambling your money using all kinds of methods, more or less ethical but ultimately legal. But at the end of the day, you are the one who take the decision, you are the one in control of your life and your money.

You keep doing something that's hurting you and just can't seem to stop it, that's exactly what an addiction does to you. I recommend calling for help as soon as possible, otherwise the situation can degenerate even more. Either a friend, family member, physiologist and if none of these are available there are plenty of resources you can find online for free to help you.

What the OP wrote that made me so curious is the Spirit part, how is that even possible? Well, our countries vary, and so do our traditions and beliefs, but still, it will be nice if we stick to the physical realm so that we do not relate what is not there as though there. Well, I will not deny that I'd thought about that in trading many times too until I found the right means of doing it better, nothing is spiritual here. This is why I would like to encourage anyone going through a tough time in gambling to also look at the two important points, which are; 1. They need to locate the rightful skills that will be strong enough to deliver the best to them, and 2. Access gambling as what it is.

In the first part, one can go for the best learning and get to keep their trading psychology intact and also manage their trading portfolio. These are doable and such that are within their power. So, they should be done rightly even as they are cautious about gambling. But for the second part, it might be beyond the limit of the gambler most times. For accepting gambling as it is, we can't eliminate the fact that luck is important here. Can we control luck? That's not possible, that is one of what we accept as a fact but use management to cover for some excess in case the luck is not forthcoming as expected.

That's the reason why we need to search a trusted casino in order to prevent such losses. And also to prevent our identity to be shared to anybody else. Every time we gamble we need to follow some of thier rules and regulations one of that is they will ask some KYC and the best thing is once they are trusted enough then even though we gave some our private informations then there's a chance that we will be safe. But we must remember that everyone of us here must control ourselves and be vigilant.

Sharing about our gambling activity to other people is a prevention that we can do so we can asks for helps from them to comes to us. They will knows what they needs to do so they can helps us immediately when we almost lose self control. But we must search for the right person that can really helps us so we don't waste our time for waiting for the helps from them. Yes, accidents can happen at any time so we must knows what we should do and with sharing to other people, at least we have a way to asks for helps.

They will comes to us when we asks them so we can tells what happens to them and not waiting for too long to wait for the helps. They will helps us with the right methods and they can asks us to go to rehabilitation if that's necessary.

Anyone that gambles constantly and daily or almost daily is surely to become addicted soon yet everyone in such stage also has the same belief,that one time they will hit it so hard and so big that this huge win can be a life changing event especially for people living in not so well developed countries where the level of poverty and corruption is sky high.I don't blame such persons for wanting a solution out of this poverty which some call misery yet they should be also well aware that sadness,losing of all money and really becoming nervous for anything happening to them will be emphasized much more than normally.So it is a two way street with 80-90% chances of getting the bad things and 10-20% chances to have these good life changing events happening to you,overall it is up to the person what he wants for himself.

Yeah, people who don't share the details about their finances or places where they have kept their financial holdings are making a mistake because life is unpredictable, anything can happen at any given time, so it is better to give all the details to the closest person so that they can access the financial holdings in case of an emergency or an event where the holder can't access them anymore for any reason whether it's an illness, sudden death, or anything.

The best way to do that is to write a will and mention everything in that, hand it over to a trusted lawyer who would read it out to people whose names are mentioned when the person is either no more or isn't able to do anything with the money or holdings.

OP, if you are in it to make money from gambling and you think gambling will make you rich or change your lifestyle then you can't stop yourself from gambling. If you think you can stop yourself from gambling but you can't control it, don't be disappointed. You can never call this situation a disorder rather it will be a challenge for you. You first try to stop yourself from gambling slowly and then you will see that you have been able to stop yourself from gambling for a long time. If you are still unable to abstain then you can consult a psychologist and you can do family rehabilitation as well as meditation if needed.

When it comes to gambling or cryptocurrency, we always want to protect the privacy of personal information to keep ourselves safe. But in some cases, there is a need to inform others of these things. It is not bad if I share my personal information with someone I know or trusted. People's lives are not always at the same level. Accidents can happen at any time. If a gambler shares his gambling activities with his life partner or if he gives access to it, it definitely works effectively for unwanted events. I have seen a freelancer who had kept all his wealth in his online account but suddenly he lost his physical ability due to his brain stroke he lost all his wealth. In some such cases it is important to share all the information with a trusted partner.

Trusting your partner with your money is important but I don't indulged in such act, rather I'm already keen on keeping my assets in a safe place because I'm the only one that can access to them without the involvement of the third party, although my partner have knowledge about them. We have to gamble with precisely strategy for the purpose to avoid crucial losses in the system, we know how important the space have grown for us and abandoning it won't solved the current matter on ground. Gamble, I would prefer you set up principles atleast that will guide you on the right path.

The reality is most people that gamble will lose their money there including myself, are they gambling addicts? nope. I always able to control myself, the money I spend for gambling never exceed than 10% of my monthly income.

Loss and gambling are two things that can't be divided, if you can earn money from gambling, then teach me or open a new thread to explain your strategy. Keep in mind, profit is (sum of you earn - sum of money you spent), if you earn for few times and you loss more than the money you earn, that's not profit.

sometimes this will not be enough, especially for gamblers who are already in the addiction stage, because they will find various ways to get their money back and use it for gambling. so if this happens, the best way is to ask for professional help and ask them for help in providing treatment as soon as possible, either by rehabilitation or by medication. this method is usually quite effective for gamblers who have entered the addiction stage.

I partially agree with you. I cannot agree with this that one should not participate in gambling regularly. I would say participating in gambling regularly would not be a problem if I could control myself. However, we should never risk a large amount of money by betting. Because winning or losing in gambling is completely uncertain. It is impossible to say for sure which bet we will win.

If I can't control myself, then it will be considered addiction. But if I can control myself then it can never be called addiction. This is good until you become addicted to gambling. But I have seen very few gamblers who can control themselves. If I don't spend more than a certain amount of money on gambling every day, the chances of becoming addicted to it will decrease.

As an example I will spend up to $100 a day gambling. Even if I lose money, I won't spend more than $100. Even if I win money, I won't spend more than $100. If we can do this then the chances of gambling addiction will decrease. But it is very difficult.

it seems that even non-addicted people experience loss once your bet doesn't hit, as long as it comes to gambling, that's risky, there are only two things you can experience here even if you're not totally addicted, chances are you can lose or you can win. now, you said that gambling is based on luck, that's true and we are not sure what the right technique is to win a gamble, but even if you don't have a technique to get it, as long as you learn your self management and limitations in gambling, your safety is definitely secured and your risk of becoming an addict can be reduced.

Betting is usually based on luck, no matter how much you bet, if your luck has a losing streak, you will lose.  So you can use enough tricks to calm yourself down. Sometimes it is possible to win gambling by using tricks.  For example, if you gamble regularly and start losing money there, it is a sign of addiction. Because only the addicted person loses money in gambling, regular participation in gambling should not take place.

Op controlling yourself maybe be very possible If you wish to To do So, no one is born To be a gambler rather we initiated the idea of gambling in our lives And that is the major reason why we should device a means To control it . The urge To place another bet when your game cut is normal And tha is the reason why you should fight responsibly And learn How To control your emotions . Your emotion is one of your Greatest Enemy when it comes To gambling because If not propeely controlled might result To careless spending .

When gambling If you lose money please learn To withdraw from placing more bets And Dont be sturbborn To recover the money you have lost already because you will end up losing more And more .
Patience is the master of everything in life especially when it comes To gambling , when you lose money please learn To endure And wear The armour of patience So you can think on the best strategy To make a Progress.

Put your finances under the care of another person, like your partner if you are married or your friends that you can trust with money. If you do not have money to gamble, you will not be able to gamble, and that is just logic. Even when you get bored and feel like gambling, then log on to your gambling account on a betting platform or casino to bet on, you will not be able to do so because you have cut your access to money that you would have used in gambling even when you know you shouldn't.
