If we play gambling everyday it has became a habit and like some of us know it is very difficult to break bad habit.  I do strongly believe that many of those claims to be gambling for fun are seriously addicted to gambling and what makes it fun for them is coming back to play.
They claim that it is fun because they can do nothing to control their addiction but to give in to it. They know for a fact that they are wasting their time and money but that gambler fallacy still runs wild in their minds. These people are mostly the ones who dont have a steady income because that is what makes people try their luck and gamble their earnings. Those who have a settled lifestyle prefer to stay away from it.

But there are genuine people who gamble once a while in a friendly match and do it for fun - these people are not like the daily addicts though.

After a hundreds hours of gambling I found out that it's pretty hard to stop playing. Gambling becomes a strong addiction and has a negative impact on other aspects of life. I have tried to control myself over and over again and found out that the best way is to make a long pause to let your mind relax.

I think the best way for you is not just pausing but totally stopping for a while. You are getting addicted to it due to long hours of gambling. That is a bad thing. Quit while you are still in control. It would be harder to stop if you are full on addicted to gambling already.

I am afraid that he will difficult to stop for a while because he found out that playing gambling is fun and he continues to play. I think he will need to ask his friends or his family always to drag him to get out of the place. Or if he plays in his room, he needs to have a friend who can ask him to leave from his room so he can stop from playing gambling.

Yeah, I agree with you. It is hard to change our habit, but if it's related to gambling, I think that person needs to take serious attention to change his habit because he cannot realize how dangerous the gambling for him. Once he can realize that gambling was not good for him, he will try hard to change his habit, and by the help from his friends or family members, I am sure that he can change it slowly

It is essential that before getting addicted to such thing one can either resist them self or change their course of action before it is started to take on it, as addiction in gambling is bad and we have seen people losing money from it.

Addicted to something is actually bad especially in gambling, after we got it, maybe we need something very interest to do so we can forget to play about gambling and stop it. But for other cases, people meet psychiatrist when they can't solve their addiction.
There could be two reasons behind getting addicted. One might be the kind of addiction that would arise as a result of a poor mind set and background like I have seen a lot in the local gambling spots. Poor guys try to borrow and gamble for a win. This is treatable upon getting a good job. Habitual addiction is bad and in such cases could lead to certain disorders as well which might need a psychologist’s treatment.

Is that all you did, you didn't gamble at all and your mind and body just get used to it that you practice no gambling for a couple of months.

I am not an addict to gambling, so its easy for me to not just play and bet at the casino or even online. Well i know that its hard to resist the temptation to gambling if are an addict to it.


That is right, as long as we don't get addicted to gambling, we can prevent ourselves from staying away from gambling for a while and back to play again in the other time. It's not easy because the chance to come back to the gambling places will always there and sometimes we are hard to handle ourselves to not playing gambling.
Well definitely yes, when you get addicted to gambling, it is as hard as to quit any bad habit. Humans are strong to quit or adopt any new behavior but there are some addictions that are fatal. I consider gambling as one of the fatal diseases that one can have. Try maximum to keep this at arm’s distance. Don’t put yourself on stake. It will eat up all what you have and your family and your life and everything.

They needed special treatment as they can no longer resist the problem inside their minds, the mental concerned already flowing and can no longer be corrected just by stopping for a while since the gambling addicted person will proceed no matter what, not even losing everything from their bankroll.

Self healed can be done but by the help of medical practitioners it will be much quicker, sessions and some types of medications.

Of course, in times that I can't do anything because I am out of money. This is the usual reason that I can resist playing in gambling or betting in an online betting platforms. I can tend to forget gambling in a certain days that I am out of money.

But, I still tend to remember too of betting when I do have some money. And I am not regretting about losing my money in gambling for there are times that I am also winning. It will just depend on the luck and if I do win in a certain moment then for sure it will be a fiesta to buy a lot of food celebrating for the win.

Have you been able to resist the addiction and not let gambling consume you?

Have you been able to control the urge to place that bet, spin that wheel or roll
that dice? For you to be able to go a length of time away from the adrenaline.

Would be interested to hear how people can control this.



If you are consistent in playing gambling, you will learn to control and you will also learn to resist. Gambling experience will teach you these things automatically but if after playing gambling for a long time, you still not able to develop these skills then gambling is not for you. If  you continue gambling without developing these habits then we can only lose more money.

Well, I can't tell if I able to resist to gamble since the bitcoin casino where I use to play is undeniably fun so it is hard for me to resist since it has a lot of games to play and a bunch of bonuses too but I think I can manage it sometimes, as a matter of fact, I never loss big amount because once I entirely use all of my balance I will stop playing. I think it is just a matter of discipline because if you can't control your emotion you could easily fall from it. I also never pursue what I've lost because as you chase it you'll only put yourself in a horrible situation.

Not gonna lie i was a addicted gambler when i was starting my journey on bitcoin community. But then i eventually faced some lossed made a lot of mistakes and learnt from them. The best way to cut this addiction is to play gambling for fun instead of making money. Do not try to cover your losses or try to double your money. No strategy will beat the house edge no matter how much you try.

Another Advice is to spend some time with your family or with other things that you enjoy, so you won't think of gambling.
I also play some games online with friends in my spare time which doesn't let me thinking about sport betting or other ways of gambling because I am focused on gaming.

Yeah, there are a lot of games and most of them usually focus on luck though there are luck-based and skill based and also some that requires knowledge and analytic skills.
Every game will have some luck factor in it. There is no such game of gambling where there is no luck involved. True that sports and poker are EV+ where you can get an advantage over others by doing your own analysis but still your luck needs to be there in general or you will lose at one bet which you were sure to win.It might seem illogical at some point of time but its true.

Quote
I can't resist gambling though, you know, betting on some teams is fun and you watch them everyday supportting amd rooting for them.
You dont always needs to bet in order to show your support in them. Maybe a fun betting among friends for the latest game but thats not addicted gambling. Cheesy
Gambling or any other gambling related game, involves luck as primary factor. No one ever had put the money in gambling by believing in something else. They always ensure themselves that if luck helps, we would be earning double or triple of this investing amount. However, they all should know, it can’t be possible. Luck doesn’t be with you every day. You may be lucky someday and earn but not every day.

Yes. Its so exciting and fun to see rolling the dice and hoping for the luck. When I play gambling I set my money to spend so I will not exceed to it. Playing in gambling is so much fun to do but do not make it a hobbit because eventhough you set your limit but you played everyday its a non sense. Its depends on people how they see gambling to fun or do it as a business.
Principles matters a lot. If you are a man of words,, you would not exceed the money you put aside for gambling. If you loss the money you go home, if you win, you enjoy. That’s it. In addition, you find the gambling more fun and enjoy it. However if there is deviation from what you have planned, things can go wrong and you could loose more value if you gamble to win what you have lost in the previous game.

When you are it for a long time it's hard to control it, and you may fall into a compulsive gambler, where you gamble for the sheer fun of it, not minding if you are losing or winning, I have a friend who was like that and boy, it takes the whole family to urge to seek medical help, almost impossible to let go when you spend a lot of time and really hook.

It is hard for someone who's already attached and addicted to gambling. We can say and warn others that quick and easy that they should gamble for fun. I know that this strategy is very effective but not for most.

What's the most important thing is you are able to resist.

How to gambling just only for fun? It's kinda impossible for me, because losing money in gambling is really really not fun.

I am also an addicted gambler and it's really hard to control ourself to not to gamble (sportsbook) even a day. They only way to stop me is when i don't have any money left in my pocket.

Experience is a best teacher, I also once experience getting addicted in gambling  and you would not have a peace of mind because of addiction.
It will take you pleasure in other things as your mind is only focus in gambling and worst is you loss most of the time
due to lack of discipline and being so aggressive.
Now, I can play for fun but sometimes my emotion still affects me especially in most crucial times.
