Topic: Has this ever happened to you as a gambler? - page 7. (Read 1879 times)

Problem: gambling addiction is as enormous as the wall. Imagine being a hotshot bitcoin investor and then boom! Addiction has you stifled in the casino.

Responsible gambling is a successful strategy, not just advise. Ponder this. Winning is your goal, not just playing. And winning involves understanding when to hold and fold, right? We're fighting addiction and greed. The pair convinces you more is never enough. The key to winning - and I know how to win - is playing wisely, not betting more.

Share empathy for those stuck in this spiral, but act on it. We need plans, support, and a winning mindset that says, "Im in control." People, be wise. If you lost a bet, would you give up your empire?

In this case for one to play gamble to the extent of not having money to pay for other games. Having a mindset of seeing gambling as a source of income. This person have so much expectation that money can be made while playing , I think having a mindset like this can be as a result of greed, addiction and taking gambling as a job, all these can cause one to keep playing expecting that money can be made in gambling.

This happens when gamblers fails to understand that gambling is unpredicted and playing with much amount of money is not a guarantee to win in gambling. Ignorance is the cause why people play gambling in such manner, and at last it makes them to become addicted to gamble.

Yes, all of that is because gambling addiction can have a bad impact on others, especially the people around them so that people prefer to limit themselves to people who are already addicted because what is worried is that yes, you may also already know that it is likely for someone who is close to an addicted gambler to experience some problems as a result of their friends who are already addicted. And yes I think such a situation is natural because after all and anyone does not want to experience problems or experience the bad effects of gambling addiction experienced by others.

True, on the other hand, yes, some of their friends should not give more loans to friends who are already addicted because it is clear that the original context is not to help in a better direction but instead will further plunge people who are already addicted to go further in terms of suffering from adversity due to excessive gambling, it's like you give an opportunity to an addicted person to dig a deeper hole to bury themselves, and on the other hand I am sure that someone who is already addicted will be very difficult to pay their debts because all they always think about is gambling.

Addiction doesn't allow you to think, the individual didn't consider what are the contents of his phone, the could have being a cryptocurrency investors and had his wallets on his phone or other information that when the casino owners take the phone will have access to and he can take all his remaining investors all as he couldn't control himself and gamble responsible. This is just one example of why gambling responsibly is important, don't forget yourself when gambling.

Gambling addiction and greediness works together, when you're not satisfied with what you have you'll become greedy and it can cause addiction. Addicts are those that can do anything just to get the opportunity of continue gambling. The users could have stakes more personal belongings if the phone staking didn't work for him and he lost the bets. Many gamblers are suffering from addiction problems.

Someone like that will only learn their lesson once they are completely alone and there is no one around the help them when they really need it, such an ending is really sad but we cannot say that is not deserved.

After all, their friends knowing very well they had gambling problems still lent them money, giving them a chance to use that money for what they truly needed, and when this did not happened their friends had to take the decision to let them go, otherwise they will financially ruin them too if they are not careful.

It seems shameful that such a situation led to such a situation. Sometimes addiction really doesn't bring anything good when it's put in a bad situation, to be honest.
I have been gambling for a long time, but I have never experienced anything like this. As long as mine is used up, there's no stopping me, just like that.

Also, if it reaches your family or relatives, it will cause more shame, so it is important that we still have discipline in ourselves so that it does not lead to that.

A gambler who spends all his money on gambling can be considered as someone who is addicted to gambling. They don't consider gambling as entertainment or don't gamble just for fun anymore, but they try to find a solution to their problems through gambling. Therefore they will not be aware when making impulsive decisions, such as spending all their money on a risk that they cannot actually win.

It's not just a stupid act, but also a hopelessness that drives them to keep gambling in the hope of being able to recoup their losses and solve their problems. However, the hope they have in mind is actually something false because what will happen will make them even worse.

sometimes addiction leads to stupidity. he thought that when he played the virtual game he could win, and then he would pay the bet, but unfortunately he lost both games which made him quite stupid. fortunately, he has a smartphone which he can use as collateral for the gambling owner, because otherwise you can't imagine that he would have to deal with the police just because of a small amount of gambling money.

Well said, in this, we have to admit that both addiction and greediness work in hand, one leads to the other and they both have a serious negative consequences on gamblers when they fail not to deal with such before it emancipates, this has to begin with the way are are being disciplined on our own self, we can be gambling the way we feels like and never consider the consequences that may follow each every of our actions taken when gambling.

That is the nature of someone who is addicted to gambling, he never thinks about anyone, what is on his mind is how he can continue gambling. What's more, the person is experiencing a big loss in gambling, of course he will think hard and be obsessed with finding a way to continue playing so he can win in his gambling bets. They will definitely use various methods, whether it is seeking additional funds through loans, fraud, or other illegal behavior to support their gambling habits.

I dunno but this seems to be not allowed in gambling places here in my location , money down is what gambling here as there are many cheaters .
and if ever this comes to me? never that i will do same thing as I hate being disturb by authority having cases.
but what I did in the past is lending my phone to another gambler just to have money to make a  bet.

Yes that's right, I think some players already know about how gambling works especially the difficulty in terms of getting a win, but yes like you said and it's true that they always do the same actions that are not in accordance with the actual facts about gambling, and I think one of the reasons is that they are easily carried away because they lose consciousness in themselves so they make the same mistakes that actually they also know that it is the wrong way, but like I said that losing consciousness due to being carried away by things that look tempting is a major contributing factor in this problem.

From what you said about the worst case being someone who is not working who continues to try to make money by gambling, I would probably say that they are losers and lazy people who want to earn money but do not want to work and instead put their hopes on something that has absolutely no certainty to guarantee victory at the end of the session. It has always been a fact that gambling has absolutely no certainty because everything is always random in terms of determining whether you will win or lose, and the conclusion from this context is that some people try to make gambling a way to solve their financial problems instantly, and this is a wrong mindset and understanding of gambling.

Ironically, some players know how gambling operates but still have such expectations from it, and when you ask them or tell them they are never going to get what they are trying to get from gambling, they either ignore what you say or start arguing with you. Some would make excuses to avoid talking to you about the matter. The thing is, they know about the risks involved, they often lose money, but they still don't stop because of the hope they have fixed in their minds.

What's worst is that such people don't work, I mean they don't look for jobs to earn a living by other means and they are always looking for ways to earn money from gambling, searching for strategies, getting money from here and there to gamble with it, but every single time, they face failure but still don't learn.

This is what makes someone ask about "is there an indirect impact on others due to the behavior of someone who is addicted to gambling", of course because it is a fact that loans like this are often done or even used as an alternative by addicted gamblers when they do not have money to gamble. As you said, the scenario is that they put on a sad face and say that the purpose of the loan is for other very important and urgent things that are actually for gambling.

This scenario makes the people closest to them or the borrower can feel sorry for them who in the end lend money and after that the problem occurs, because someone who is addicted to gambling that is in his mind is to continue gambling and sometimes even though they win but not long after that all the winning money is again used up in gambling because they have difficulty ignoring the greed aspect in themselves so that the situation and situation always ends in losing. Someone who is addicted to gambling is those who when they win apply greed because they cannot be grateful for the amount they get which in the end makes them lose again, and when they lose it is usually difficult for them to control their emotions and look for other alternatives such as borrowing to return to gambling with the intention of returning something that was lost before. On the other hand, I agree with your suggestion that if you do have a friend who is quite active in gambling or even who is addicted to it, then don't get too close to him, put limits on socialization because after all this is for your own good too.

This type of gambler often puts on a sad face when borrowing money and when he wins he immediately forgets about the borrower, in this case usually his friend. I think that when he holds the winnings, all of it is spent to have fun and when the money runs out he will go back to borrowing again. It is better to avoid gamblers as this sometimes will only cause problems if they continue to provide relief.

Gambling addiction is a horrible beast that can transform even the most level-headed individual into a money-hungry, deceiving monster. It's like a negative feedback cycle of emotions and behaviors, where one bad decision leads to the next, and before you know it, you're selling off your possessions and lying to everyone you know to feed your addiction.

Addiction is a powerful force that can overwhelm your rational thinking, forcing you to do things you would never do otherwise. It can start tiny, but before you realize it, you're in deep. The only thing that matters more to you at this point is fueling and satisfying your gambling urges, even at your expense and also the expense of others arounds you.

When someone who playing gambling selling his property to have money to continuing playing gambling, he must know that's not a good solution because he will not know if he can win or lose. If he thinks that playing gambling can gives him money, that's not fully right because playing gambling can makes him lose money instead makes money. He needs to manage his minds and not endangering himself by playing gambling and losing much money.  Gambling will never gives a steady income for people so they must know that they can only playing gambling carefully with limitations.

When they regret because of losing on the gambling games, they will leave casinos with regrets and will feel is not right. They may wanting to recover their losing money but if they wise, they will see that's not easy and they can only losing more than before. Once they lose their money, they will want to recovers their losses in the other day because they can't accepted their loss and that's why many people still trying to playing gambling longer than before. They will always wants to chase the win even if that is difficult for them as they don't thinks that they will always lose. They must change their minds for making money from gambling because that will difficult because many people already loses their money from gambling.

Some people doesn't think about what will happen to them as they only wants to continue playing gambling with their money. They will use the money from the stuff they sold to other people to playing gambling and trying to recovers their losses and wins some money. Some people who bought that stuff can feel happy because they can buy a luxury stuff with a cheap price and they will search for the other people who wants to sell their stuff.

Those who doesn't thinks about selling their stuff will only regrets, a big regrets especially if they lose all of their money. They will not have their stuffs because they don't have money to buy back the stuff. They will regrets but unfortunately, that will not makes them stops this habits.

Every negative factor that you can think of for each gambler is what makes someone put into those bad situations.
Greediness, check.
Addiction, check.
Desire to gamble, check.
Chasing of losses, check.
And as much as we can see, these are the normal thing that we see for a gambler to be in that bad situation. Luckily, I haven't been into this situation when I am already aware on how bad can make my life when I am not in control. And that's why I didn't pursue or always try to make myself at the right mind for me to not get into the trouble that I will regret later on. When our desires are too high and as well as greediness together with emotions, our intelligence drops dead and that's why we need to be aware of these matters that triggers us because we're the loser at the end of it.

It would  follow sooner if you do able to tolerate out such condition on which you would really be putting up yourself on such no control on the things you've been currently dealing.
Its not really that bad to gamble as long you do make yourself that responsible then this would really be the key because if you do let yourself that becoming that impulsive then
expect that it would really be ending up as a disaster into your life and this is something that you should really be avoiding as much as you could.

Gambling should be something entertaining and not something stressful.It is really just that because of someones wrong intent on why gambling do really ends up
on having this kind of negative reputation specially into communities view because they are focusing into those people who had been greatly
affected by it.

Well, they know what will happen to them upon doing those sale.

Most expensive stuff there are also bought with their profits from their bets so, it's easy for them to dispose and sell it cheaply. I guess there are lucky watchers out there that are just looking for these kind of gamblers.

Those that are in need of quick cash and they'd sell their stuff and sometimes gadgets too that are being sold there in good condition but I wouldn't advise you guys to go in there.

There could also be moduses inside there and they'll wait for you outside the premises and might do something bad against you.
