If a person have that kind of mindset won't stay fine because a mindset like that will go broke much faster than other situations. Many gambling addict having financial problems and even some have now debt to pay because of gambling which in my opinion is not a good having financial problems and also a debt that hasn't been paid yet. I have seen some news about a gambler that lose in a casino that made him steal.

That is the result of playing gambling too often and constantly losing. They can't accept their loss and will continue to use more money to recover from their losses. We must change their mindset immediately if we have experienced several defeats before everything changes and causes us to experience very large losses. And if anyone is in debt for gambling, they must immediately realize what they are doing is not right and end it immediately.

If we do look on the bigger picture or just simply sticking out with the reality that is happening then it cant really be denied that gambling industry is getting bigger and bigger as years passing by.Why?

There are lots of people who do really believe that gambling could make them rich and this is the primary reason on why people do keeps on coming back on playing gambling due to this belief.
Some are here for the entertainment and leisure but most people would be pertaining about making money which is something a very common intent.

Addiction is a common problem that had been raised up with this industry and this one is a personal one.

The gambling industry is getting bigger because it can attract gamblers, those who previously played offline gambling are now starting to move to online gambling.

They can make money from gambling but never think of using gambling as a way to make money. If you get money from gambling, that's a bonus for you because you won't always be able to get it every time you gamble.

If you can't do it, you will only risk gambling addiction that has hit many people. And before that happens to you, you'd better be aware and start limiting gambling.

Pretty common behaviour for addicted gamblers, better look for money to spend on rehabilitation centers rather than keep doing the same things over and over. Addiction is bad in all fields, especially money-involved activities can hurt a person and it can lead to the ruin of the lives of people around pathologically addicted gamblers. Financial problems start to appear slowly after losing savings on gambling platforms and this should be the last point for gamblers who wanna get out of the deeper point that can't be fixed later, unfortunately.

I think the sweet spot to try to get rid of addiction is not when you've already lost all your money, but when you realize you're spending more money than you should on gambling.
After the player loses all his money to addiction, unfortunately, there are still ways to make the situation worse... I've seen many people borrowing more and more money with the illusion that one day they will be able to pay it back with their own profits match.

Unfortunately, some people have fallen deeply into a gambling addiction and have lost everything they had and that's the only time they will decide to quit gambling. A gambling addict, if not decided and serious about quitting will always find ways to gamble as long as he could find other resources. While a gambling addict who is serious and willing to change ways will also be willing to use his funds for rehabilitation rather than spending it again in gambling. It all depends on the willingness of a gambler to change his path.

People shouldn't see gambling as you say, but the truth is that many people still expect to make money from gambling. This makes many people lose more and more money and are unaware of it because the attraction of gambling is very big to attract them back again. If a person experiences a big loss, he should be able to realize himself not to repeat the same mistake and try to reduce the amount of money used for gambling and not deposit another amount of money if he loses. Thus, he would not suffer a loss and could learn from what he had already gained from gambling.

Yes ofcourse, if someone is seeing a casino as a source of income then he must be making a huge mistake.
They should see it more like an entertainment instead of income source. This is where many tend to make mistake and hence lose their money.
Playing games on a gambling site is the easiest way to lose money. So it's better to avoid over gambling by making small bets.

It is very possible to make gambling a thing of the past because nothing remains constant in life,nothing will remain the same as long as the person in question is ready to accept change.

It might be, but it will take a lot of courage on the part of the individual to overcome his gambling addiction. And the person need a lot of help from friends and families.

Quote from: Lordhermes on July 15, 2022, 09:47:06 AM

Another thing that can help one is change of environment,and change of friends.If you have a group of friends that are addicts thesame way you are,there is no way your life can change,and there is no way you can make gambling a thing of the past.It is obvious that most people find it difficult to avert from gambling,but a change of mindset and a change of mentality toward it will help you make it a thing of the past.

Again it boils down to who are your friends are, because they will have so much influence on you. If you want to start new then maybe you can tell them straight face that you want out and doesn't want to gamble. You don't need to move out just to change your environment. For sure they will have to understand you and maybe themselves can also make a U-turn and have a change of heart to quit gambling or at least minimized it.

Definitely yes,it is possible to forget about gambling and focus on other things that will give you money.What I see about gambling is when one is jobless,and he decides to try other means of making money,gambling might tend to him as the surest way to make quick money,and therefore,he will choose to try gambling,but before he knows it,it has become his habbit.
But one can still leave gambling and forget about it change is constant,and the moment one takes a strong decision on gambling,and decides not to try it again,it is possible to make it a thing of the past.But this has to be a decision that you will never go back on.

What happens is that with gambling you can make money fast and it would be a solution, but I see this as a piece of water, 'because the person in his emergency will want to have all the luck in the world and maybe he will be given and win, but I think that on another occasion if you are looking for the same thing it is more difficult for you to achieve it, since you are already conditioned and it is a huge mistake to see a casino as the best option to put everything there, in money and energy. I know several cases of friends who have gone to physical casinos to play with the intention of seeing it as an ATM and most of the time they return with more losses, they even lose more than normal.

If, without a doubt, this is something that can undoubtedly help, if a person does all this, what is most sought is for their mind to forget little by little, but I think that the best way is to do things that keep the person very busy, For me, it is the first step to combat severe addiction.

I also agree when you say that things can change, that everything is tied to the past and that they are not things of the past, we are in a world where old things do help us because we have learned from them, but that everything somehow it changes and these changes are actually very good because that's how you get better.

If that gambler that has made it for himself to use self-exclusion in all casinos that he use. Only two things can come and happen for real.

however this will be different in each individual case. the government only helps and finds solutions for their citizens who have problems with gambling addiction.

1. The gambler will still find a way to gamble if he's not comfortable of what he did. I've tried that before to abstain for one activity that I've doing but I'm still finding a way to do it.

it seems you have to try with a strong determination from within, for your own good and those around you.

Quote from: livingfree on July 01, 2022, 06:30:57 PM

2. He can control and going with his will to quit for good but this is going to be a long process.

Of course yes, I agree someone who wants to get rid of his gambling addiction will need a process that may take a long time, relatives, family, wife, husband, can be a good motivation in the healing process.

Gambling problem did exist since Gambling was invented. We dont know on when it actually started but much sure that gambling addiction is directly been molded because people are
way too emotional which creates that impulsive kind of behavior when we do talk or speaking of money. Addiction is a condition where you do mind off about making profits
with gambling and on the sense or situation that you are already spending much more of your finances than on the profits or money you are making.
You would definitely ending up on having a gambling problem if you dont set out limitations or having good control on oneself.

And it's not just all about profits.

It's actually a habit that can never be stopped unless you really want to. It's hard to control when you're already controlled by your addiction and you don't listen to anybody.

That's when you get hard headed and you only believe in yourself and you think that there's no sense of listening to others when you think that you're still doing fine but in reality, you're not.

Self exclusion can become useless for couple of reasons -
1. It all starts with oir willingness. If a gambler has a strong mind, he will be able to self exclude himself from gambling for as long as he wants. It all starts with us. Think about cigarette addiction. Unless the addicted person is willing to take action, nothing really happens.

2. There are multiple gambling websites available, including unlicensed ones. So even if someone has a strong mind to self exclude him from gambling for a specific period of time, it will be pretty easy for him to come back to gambling through another website.

Addiction can be treated through regular counseling. No measure of exclusion will work unless it is a forced one.

Of course things like gambling addictions can be overcome and it can become possible for it to be a thing of the past, but thats easier said than done. In reality most people need some kind of outside help when overcoming their gambling problems. Self help is really only going to bring you so far before you realise that you lack the discipline (as most people do) to go through with it.

Addictions are unfortunately a long term brain hormone disbalance. So "forgetting and moving on" is reallly just a fairy tale. That takes years.

If you want to help yourself, you must have a strong awareness that you are having a gambling addiction problem to work towards overcoming it.
But the problem is, most people will not realize that they have become addicted even though they have used a lot of money just to gamble.
This makes it difficult for them to start overcoming the problem of gambling addiction.
And this is why they really need the help of others but without any intention from within us, it will be very difficult because we do not tell in detail what happened to us.

Actually it can be a thing of decision, if a gambler decides to stop, it would literally be very difficult for him, it's just a matter of time and determination. The gambler should see it as a thing that's not beneficial. As time goes on that gambler tries to forget about it and also trying to concentrate on other important things that would be more beneficial. Gradually he/she would forget and move on.
It is possible for it to be a thing of the past
