Of course, with our personal limits, we also have a set budget or a limited budget so that we don't gamble excessively. and this method will also avoid losses, but it is not easy to do because everyone cannot do this, only certain people can do this, the reality is the opposite, many people gamble, they have no limits in gambling, therefore many people lost quite a lot of money. that's good, knowing when we have to stop gambling will minimize the losses, don't let yourself fall deeper into gambling even though the gambling you are playing almost gets a big win. I don't think it's reasonable if you prolong your gambling session, because it will take time you and also spend more money and clearly if you do that you will not necessarily get a big win, because many people lose their money when gambling, they gamble excessively because they almost get a big win and make them continue to gamble with the belief of winning. The amount that he almost got will indeed be obtained, but no one knows about the luck that exists, whether it will be profitable or detrimental, it is clear that luck will determine whether he wins or loses and the rest we should not expect too much from gambling, because with Expecting a lot can also make us lose a lot of money in a particular gambling session. Don't think that you will get a big win by almost getting a big win, that could be a trap that can make us fall deeper into gambling. So gamble naturally, don't overdo it because that's not good.
Although it is difficult to do self-limitation, but it can be done consistently so that we get used to it, if it is done inconsistently then the possibility is indeed difficult to happen, eliminate greedy thinking so that nothing bad happens to us, by setting self-limitation as well as possible it can reduce the risk or things that trigger gambling addiction I also apply that consistently and it works, although I occasionally think about extending my gambling sessions but I think more about other more important things that certainly cost money to do, a good mindset must be applied so that addiction or excessive gambling does not occur, many people cannot resist the temptation of gambling and make them become addicted to gambling, this has happened a lot among gamblers as well as cases that occur in every new gambler or old gambler. I don't understand what you're saying "because we don't pursue pleasure" if those who have self-control but gamble by not pursuing pleasure does that mean they pursue victory? if they pursue victory it means they don't have good self-control, because those who pursue victory they can spend a lot of money gambling because their motives are pursuing victory not pleasure. maybe what you mean is "not pursuing victory" not pursuing pleasure.
The benefits of implementing limits are very important for us because with these limits, we will not spend money that we cannot afford and we will only gamble with enough money. We also will not try to increase the amount of money we deposit, increase the betting money, or gamble longer to chase wins. We also won't want to recover our losses because that would be the same as handing over our money to gambling without any guarantee of winning. And even if we win, we can only win a little money while the house will get more money from the losing gamblers. Prolonging our gambling sessions will only increase the number of losses because I have had the experience of extending my gambling sessions where, at that time, I lost control of myself and instead deposited more money so that my total losses were greater than usual. But fortunately, I quickly woke up because I saw that the balance in my wallet had decreased a lot. From there, I started trying to restrain myself from spending money I couldn't afford and only gambled moderately. I don't want to go through an experience like that again because I experienced various negative feelings that came after experiencing that losing streak. I want to be angry but don't know who I want to be angry with and can only regret it.
Self-restriction is very difficult and must be practiced continuously to become accustomed to it, but it is very worth trying. We are the ones who will benefit from self-limitation because we will not gamble beyond the limits and we can also enjoy gambling as entertainment. Apart from that, limiting ourselves means that we save the amount of money we have from being used for gambling because gambling should not be taken seriously because of the fun factor. If we realize that we can get pleasure from other things, we don't need to gamble too often because that can cause us to become addicted, and in the end, we will become addicted to gambling. We as gamblers must be wise gamblers and not chase victory and just let people who still want to chase the win because they don't want to get pleasure but want to win. But maybe some people have good self-control, but they also chase the win, so they are really serious about managing their money for gambling. They may be considered professional gamblers who make money from gambling and they are different from most gamblers, especially like us.
If they have good boundaries and are consistent with maintaining them maybe it won't drain their finances when they do gambling activities. Because after all gambling must be played carefully, because it can drain a person's finances if they are not careful in gambling, also there have been many things that have caused a person to experience a lot of losses just by doing gambling that is not careful, they can spend a lot of money on gambling that is not clear about the victory, but they don't realize how much money they have lost because of gambling, successive defeats are due to themselves who cannot limit their gambling activities, by increasing gambling sessions and depositing more money on their own, It is impossible for it to be based on encouragement from others, and if you really want to be angry, just blame yourself, don't blame other people who introduced us to gambling, it's unethical if they blame other people for their mistakes, because after all, those who do gambling themselves are themselves not with other people, so don't blame other people who don't know anything, because the gambling that is done is not based on other people, they themselves cannot control themselves properly so that they can do excessive gambling. Excessive gambling will have a bad impact on the players themselves, but unfortunately they sometimes take it out on others, very irresponsible.
indeed, basically gambling should be done just for fun, if they gamble in pursuit of winning, just say they are addicted to gambling, because by pursuing victory in gambling it can really waste their money and of course that is considered a gambling addiction, and I I don't think you responded to my question, but maybe it's not that important.
I think you didn't respond to my question, but let's just say that maybe it doesn't really matter. Many people who gamble excessively are because they don't have a set limit and the losses they get are what they deserve, because in my opinion those who gamble excessively will never feel satisfied with what they get, even though they have won but I don't think they will ever feel satisfied, Because their goal is to get a big win so even if they get a win it won't make them stop, maybe they will continue the game to get a bigger win, in that way I think they will lose the winnings they have gotten because they might continue the game they will gamble recklessly without thinking about the big risks that will occur, it's a shame that they gamble without having good limits. Self-control is important especially with gambling which is strongly tied to money, and of course we as humans need money to survive, obviously if someone loses a large amount of money it might become stressful, but it depends on how people respond to it.
