The main danger of gambling is the development of gambling addiction.
Gambling addiction is one of the types of emotional addiction. That is, the biggest problem arises when a person has no other bright emotions in life (except gambling). It is in this case that the danger of developing gambling addiction arises. Thus, in order to prevent the occurrence of this dangerous psychological phenomenon, it is necessary to live a bright and eventful life (in addition to online casinos).
The life of a player should include sex, travel, sports, exciting adventures, interesting work, investing, communication with friends and other exciting activities.
If gambling addiction has already arisen, then it can be cured with the help of another gambling addiction (using the basic principle - like cures like).
Topic: Have you checked an overview of your gambling habits? (Read 1358 times)
I am not an active gambler, but everything that the op said I don't consider it a joke, and I still do it so that I don't get into trouble because of gambling and unwanted things, because there are so many unpleasant incidents due to gambling addiction.
That's better that way. Take those tips seriously because you will never know if you are too deep that you are drowning in debt because of gambling. We must have the discipline to control ourselves and we can do that by looking at ourselves first after losing a part of our budget or savings. If there's no chance of winning then might as well walk out and save the money for other purposes. Not everyone have the capability to gamble because they don't have the spare funds to spend for it and if that's the case, just avoid gambling at all. The problem lies to those who do no think even if they are losing way beyond what they can afford to lose. It's not a wise decision anymore and I think it will be a big trouble for them in the future.
I used to discuss some times my gambling habits withing friends and I think such discussions fall into the overview class. Why I do this, simply because my friends will never betray me thus I sure that the practical suggestion they give to me won't stack cards against me. Besides, their overviews are not biased (mine probably are biased).
It doesn't take too long to know that gambling isn't for you if all you want is make money, there is no room for daily income or investment here, this space is where money lovers get nailed to the wall very hard.
The day you turn to gambling as a time killer for your free days is when you will enjoy its existence, forget about people making life changing money from gambling, you will still win if you focus on your job than gambling, but greed won't allow many people to reason.
I wonder why I always win or have a good time with gambling when I wasn't even expecting the outcome, I guess my heart is focused on something else, like what good can gambling offer a greedy person? The more you lower your expectations the better for everyone.
Casinos will never tell you this.

What to do is never think gambling as a way to make money, even you think there's a possibility, just think it's impossible and force yourself to look into other opportunity.
I get your point as it suits in to be correct in anyway but the thing is mostly gamblers think otherwise and when they do so they get loose out of the box and get themselves stucked to a particular thing, what I mean is mostly for the men gambling because in the spirit of wanting to make money to fend for oneself and family they venture into alot and mind you they are aware this could turn out negative but they would keep deaf ears and go in to it, so getting engaged can't really stop one from gambling, strict adherence should.

We can say that we have successfully completed the first group of OTC transactions. Yes, too many people try to get rich by gambling based on pure chance. These people have an obsessive idea that they can get rich, for example, using the Martingale method. Indeed, there have been such cases. We can always name several cases when lucky people won many bets in a row and left the casino in time, stopping. However, the main idea of wealth is, in my opinion, different. Get rich with minimal risks. This is exactly what you need to stick to. The habit of getting rid of risks is the main habit.
Exactly, it means that the idea of pursuing wealth will only seem reasonable if someone dedicates himself to an activity that has minimal risk, or at least the risk can be minimized but the opportunity for profit is still large such as general business, meaning that any type of gambling is not included in it because in any case, the name of the risk will always be part of the game, and the problem here is when you lose, it means you lose all the money you bet and not half or a few percent and of course it can also happen in a row which makes the amount of winnings you have previously obtained much smaller, that is why the risk in gambling is very large and that is also the reason why gambling will never seem reasonable to be used as a place to pursue wealth. 
Are you having less time for other activities whereby giving your work less priority and making gambling your utmost importance than your work and home?
If yes then it's imperatively to narrow down your eagerness, and activeness towards gambling as you have already fallen into addiction and if you find yourself into this conditions then you need to reduced.
What to do;
- Always get engaged with other important works, or even gets more attention to your children/wife or Husband and family members within, with this there is less chances of you becoming addicted to gambling
- Get an allocation of funds to gamble1. I mentioned this on my other topic created before, when the funds are exhausted do not use any other funds to gamble till the months ends
- Do not budget of hitting millions or billions through gambling, just be positive and gamble with expectations to hit anyone it could be higher or lesser.
- Give much priority to your work and field of study than gambling
This is the only way we can control addiction by regular releasing post like this for people to learn and make their corrections. You can add your let the discussion continue.
This was me sometime ago, always on the casino and giving it my all neglecting other important activities because I was meaning to hit it big from gambling. Gambling always teaches us a bitter lesson when we prioritize it to other important areas of our life. I learnt the hard way after loosing a job and suffering terrible financial loss. The lesson learnt remained rooted in me till this day and somehow I remain grateful that I learnt them earlier in life.
Gambling is something to engage with your free time if you have free time at all at the end of your day's struggle and gambling in moderation is still the best gambling practice I have come across which enables me to cut my excesses even before engaging in gambling activity by funding my casino account only with the amount I am prepared to loose.
Doing something more positive can also give people a chance to not gamble excessively and there may be limits on self-control. In this way people can make some efforts to not get involved in gambling excessively.
Yes, and one very positive thing that can even be good for your health is doing sports, I think that's where it all starts, for us to be fair and have more time to do everything right, I think it's good to bet on sports, if a person runs, jogs, or walks for approximately half an hour, then after that for 1 hour, then 2 hours, that will do them good, if they add to that going to the gym to strengthen their muscles I think it's a good change, that's what it's all about, leaving aside the idea of ??playing for a bit and dedicating yourself more to what is worth it, which is the good state of our body, that is health.We can check our gambling progress to know if we are playing gambling too often can makes us lose much money especially if we play gambling too long. We must avoids the gambling addiction by using many things so we can playing gambling without any problem.
Having sports can makes us tired and can help us to distract our minds from thinking about gambling.
playing for a bit and dedicating yourself more to what is worth it, which is the good state of our body, that is health.
Building up a good state of mind relaxes the curiosity that sends players to find more wins. Though the gambler would be proficient in selfcontrol to achieve it; how he associates with the games, time, and money spent. But, the reward is always worth the work. And the second activity like sport ends prolonged reliance on gambling. Also it divides the dedication on betting and helps the gambler develop a better approach to outcomes, and game results. Players who practice this have better chances of avoiding compulsive gaming. Because they often communicate with non gamblers.
Doing something more positive can also give people a chance to not gamble excessively and there may be limits on self-control. In this way people can make some efforts to not get involved in gambling excessively.

That is the thing for us, we really need to pre-occupied ourselves with other activity such as sports. Or even just a simple walk around the neighborhood will do, or go to the gym and vent out all your frustrations in gambling.
As least something that is more productive so that we can all forget about gambling and also getting a lot of positive energy in our body. And who knows, maybe we can all forget about gambling and that will be good for us in the long run.

I think those things I outlined are things that could possibly stops you from becoming a gambling addicts, we can say prevent because some people are so hard in gambling in a way that can't help them, that is why I also made it open for discussion so you can also outlined the possible way to reduce and eliminate gambling addictions because that is the major problems gamblers are facing currently than any other thing out there. If you think you had better points then fine, I would be open to read them as well to make sure gamblers remains safe while gambling and more over, already outlined list would help newer people that are going into gambling to reduce their focused to other some important things.
It is a good intention towards the ongoing discussion so that we can find alternative ways for someone who is experiencing gambling addiction and maybe from the various descriptions can be a solution. I am not someone who gambles excessively but I can say that it is not good. If you want to be more responsible in gambling then make a special budget percentage and control when to stop.Doing something more positive can also give people a chance to not gamble excessively and there may be limits on self-control. In this way people can make some efforts to not get involved in gambling excessively.

Preventing gambling addiction is simple but many gamblers ignore the advice being told about how to avoid gambling addiction. Occupying yourself with activities isn't going to help you out. It might make you not get addicted for the main time but when those things that were making you occupied leave, you'll return back to your old habits and it might've been worst than how it was the last time. Don't run away from your problems but try to solved them completely so they don't come back in the future to torment you again.
Truly speaking, gambling addiction is not what we ought to experience while gambling. This comes as a result of over emphasis on winning big and in some case of one chasing their losses to recover them which does not go down well with them. One thing I have come to notice is that gamblers fail to stick to their budget while gambling. There is this urge that is awakened after a gambler must have win or lose a game to continue playing either to reclaim their losses or the possibility of a near win and to win more. This makes them want to play more and more without minding the state of their mind.
It takes self discipline to stick to ones gambling plan and budget at a particular game play. Many gamblers do not discipline themselves while gambling which is why you see addiction always setting in. They ignore their budget for a particular game day, gamble beyond their planned stay and they sometimes play beyond their limit for a game as they have already planned. All these are the straight express to gambling addiction including other factors as mentioned by OP here.
I literally do not gamble beyond my budget and when ever I get exhausted, I take a leave from gambling at that moment and if the urge arises, I just get my mind engaged with other activities so as not to give room for that thought and urge to keep coming up again. Exercise, reading or seeing a movie could help me just burn the time for it so I do not remember about it since I have exceeded my budget for gambling for the week.

From my own experience, if a gambler gets addicted to gambling and after becoming addicted, if he wants to get out of that addiction, then the gambler has to try. If the gambler does not have a strong will, then it is not possible to return to such a state. There are many ways to keep ourselves busy, as long as we can keep ourselves busy but gambling does not come to our mind and thus slowly we can get away from gambling addiction. I liked gambling very much in the beginning and gradually I spent more and more time doing this until at one point I became addicted to gambling. Although I was able to pull myself out of that addiction with my own efforts, my willpower was strong there.
I am not an active gambler, but everything that the op said I don't consider it a joke, and I still do it so that I don't get into trouble because of gambling and unwanted things, because there are so many unpleasant incidents due to gambling addiction.
Oh, right, you are wise to consider these because even if you are not an active gambler now, who knows? You might not know the time you will be infested by your gambling psychology and get addicted to it. In all, I realised that the reasons why we should observe this review, which I will better call evaluation are two. 1. To stay out of addiction and 2. To preserve our finances.No one prays for any bad thing, but if care is not taken, we can be doing it or moving closer to it unknown or uncontrollably (addiction).

Don't gamble as how an uneducated individual will gamble but gamble with a strategy so you don't become an addict. Stay engaged but the engagement shouldn't be because you want to run away from your problem but because that thing that's keeping you engaged is more important that wasting your resources in the casino gambling.

People do not like discipline, but those who are ready to adhere to the rules will always have everything in order in gambling, and if the game is chaotic then there may be difficulties. Habits can be different, good ones will keep everything under control, bad ones can lead to big losses, and everyone understands this, but not everyone is ready to approach this responsibly. This is the decision of each person, maybe after a big loss the responsibility will wake up.

Yes, sharing or exchanging advice and information that leads to prevention so that we are more protected from the possibility of addiction will always be a good action, because after all, even though you are now a gambler who is not very active in gambling, the possibility of addiction will still continue to lurk, one of the reasons is because no matter how the change in mindset and perspective and increasing progress in involvement in gambling is very possible to change, in the sense that it is still possible for you to one day start to fall into an impulsive approach to gambling.This confirms the fact that addiction is very possible to occur without the gambler realizing it. This means that of course various actions that lead to prevention must always be maintained because that way you will be able to identify the signs of addiction that are starting to appear and avoid them.
