Topic: Have you checked an overview of your gambling habits? - page 6. (Read 1377 times)
I usually do appraisal of my gambling weekly and monthly to check if I'm going beyond my limits. Like today, I played far above my limits and lost, what this will mean is that for the rest of the week, I will limit my gambling both in how frequent I gamble and how much I gamble with daily and for the rest of the week. I do this to ensure that gambling does not become a burden to me because that is what frustrate many gamblers, I mean when gambling become a burden to them and another conduit of losing money rather than gaining money.
Well, I guess it’s hard to do that as an old gambler or a heavy player. Once youare deep involved in this habit it becomes hard to go back, especially if gambling has become a major part of your routine. However, if you’re starting to notice negative changes, like what people say about you or how your family views you, then it’s necessary to re-evaluate. If you’re gambling for hours daily, neglecting work, or placing gambling above your responsibilities, these are clear signs of addiction.
To regain control, try engaging more with family or other activities that matter. I think setting the right limits on how much money you are willing to gamble is important. When it’s gone, stop until the next round. Don’t gamble with the mindset of winning big amounts, just play for fun and keep your expectations low. The challenge is to switch your focus to what is important in life, like work and personal growth.
It’s difficult to make these changes, but it’s possible with self awareness and strict discipline. IMO This an important subject to talk about, so let’s see more answers.

I don't play slot games, so I'm a bit relaxed about these things. But there are people around me who play slot games all day long. Sometimes I tell them that if you want to be a more social person, you can try betting on football matches instead of slot games. Because I think someone who bets on football matches has less addictive habits than someone who plays slot games. I only bet on sports and I don't feel like an addict. I don't know what I'll do if one day I turn into one of my friends. I think in that case I would consider getting professional help.
If you think that there’s a less addiction when it comes to sport betting then you probably should try and visit a physical betting shop.
All aspect of gambling has the potential to make one addicted to it - and I believe it’s even more deadly with sport betting because you don’t easily read lose it since you’ll also be busy carrying out analysis without realising that you’ve started to play more than usual.
Currently, I’ve only gambled once this week and next week I plan to do the same thing. This is how I manage my gambling activities - if I see that I’m going into it too much I will try to cut it off completely or just reduce it to the minimum till the urge dies down then I’ll return back.
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
I like the points raised here by OP, this are very important and key factors which we should be able to work on in other to see that we have more better gambling experience as well as a balanced lifestyle together with the family, some will forfeit all their rights because of gambling addiction and will not perform all the needful, they will mismanage their money and divert what should be meant for the family for gambling, misplace their priority and do things as they want.[/list]
I've been able see a guy who won over $10k with a little less than $5 but instead of reducing his gambling engagements, he increased not just his engagement in gambling but also the amount he uses to gamble and at the end, he lost everything.
He won $10000 and he was unable to see someone like business to use it for but prefer to be using it to gamble. Many gamblers are like this. They would win and think that they can continue to win thinking they they have special knowledge about gambling but at the end they are losing. That is gambling, at the end or after a long time, if a gambler calculate his winnings and losses, he will see that he is losing more. I have seen people like this before also and I have seen rich people that gambling player made poor. It is very good to see gambling not as a way of making money. If you have luck and win huge amount of money, it is better to quit gambling or use small amount of money for gambling. 
Gambling or betting is a game that hangs between profit and loss. While no one can ever get super rich gambling, I have seen many very close people who gamble and make a living with no job and gambling as their main occupation. If you play like crazy just hoping to win, then you will only lose. Because, once you lose, you will play even more crazy, as a result, your loss will increase. First of all, it is funny that you do not have any mental disorder, but if you have mental disorder, you would be on break for some time. So be that as it may, now the real thing is that if you drop this desire, then the solution is, no one will force you to gamble.
One thing I know about this gambling or betting of a thing is I've never seen anyone who got rich through this particular means. I've been able see a guy who won over $10k with a little less than $5 but instead of reducing his gambling engagements, he increased not just his engagement in gambling but also the amount he uses to gamble and at the end, he lost everything. Gambling is best practiced when a gambler fully controls his gambling activities and doesn't allow the effects of losing to make him over gamble. Like you said, it's for people that a fully mentally sound so they can be able to manage their engagements in gambling.

I don't know what I'll do if one day I turn into one of my friends. I think in that case I would consider getting professional help.
I don't think that slot game is lucrative as casino game, because is hard before you someone who can be boost of slot game, a slot game is not general as other game's people play or bet, many people like casino gambling and poker gambling or cricket game, and soccer game, but for slot game I don't know how many persons I know that participate in gambling, as made mentioned of slot game, I prefer casino kind of gambling more than any other gambling, so let us try to understand gambling before we can be to talk about gambling, gambling is suppose to be that you have to understand it first 
We should do this more often and out of habit. Addiction happens when you least expect it; its gradual; the bankroll is increasing and the hour is increasing until people are noticing that you're spending more time and money but you hardly notice it, and your alibi is that you just want to have more fun.
Habit is powerful so always check your gambling habit, be sure that you stick with your bankroll and the time allocated and you will always be safe from gambling addiction.

Always assess yourself before starting another session. At least contemplate on what's going on with your gambling life so you know what you need to do in case of financial troubles. Do remember, you will be the one who will suffer with your actions, so it is on you how will you plan your budget. At the end of the day, you will be the one who will directly feel what you've done in your life.
As a responsible gambler, I don't have to wait till days or weeks before checking my gambling behavior or attitude. Whenever I visit the casino both online and offline. I checked myself if I am contradicting myself. And I don't used all my income to gamble. Though oh yes there are some gamblers that not respected in their home because they are not supporting the families but whenever they have money it is in the gambling sites all would end up. A d that's not a responsible gambler. A responsible gambler knows what to do at time.
That’s the key. As long as you are a sensible person who has self control, nothing can go badly for you. People who lose their life savings, their parents’ savings etc they all have serious mental problems. They don’t even care about being a responsible gamble because they don’t think they have a problem in the first place. How do you fix a problem if you don’t admit its existence? Many addicted gamblers are in this bad situation. Being a good gambler is all about risk management and addicts have zero risk management. They go all in the stupidest way possible.

Just as the title has expressed it all, and I would want to know how important and very necessary we have been taking our gambling habit serious. Like our overall performance, behavior attitudes and environmental impact of our gambling behaviors
Thie essence of cross-checking the layouts outcomes of our gambling habits is very important.It factorizes overview that entails it we are on the right sensee prioritizing either a goal that would hurt our emotions, our relationships or even our bankrolls and then gives our the privileges to readjust from our initial habit's or we should maintain it. I'm all depends if the review effects are negative or positive to us.
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.
Yes, it's true that public enlightenment is essential for responsible gambling across the universe, but the sad thing about it is that most times the majority of the people who gets addicted are not always on platforms like this whereby the effects of gambling is been discussed and best approach to gamble responsibly, which is why it should be the duty of each and every one of us to always preach about responsible gambling in our every day life, as that will go a long way to spread the need for people to always gamble what they can always afford to lose and know it's a game which involves risk. Hence, you could either win or loseYou have made a very good point OP but in extreme cases, I do recommend quiting, be it temporary or permanent so you don't get into much trouble or life threatening situations resulting from your addiction, like I mentioned earlier, this applies in extreme cases but insinuations where by it can be managed, professional help along side all thst you have mentioned would be a very nice way to go about gambling addiction only that the individual involved tol has to play a role of which if they aren't involved enough with the readiness to quit then it will be fuitial.
Yes, it's good that in extreme causes, it's good to take a break from gambling for the main time, if you notice you are likely getting addicted to gambling, same way it's idea for those who are already addicted to seek help from the appropriate health practitioner/councilor. Because just as gambling addiction could be harmful for personal self, so is it also to affect those who cares for you when you loses self control, which is enough reason why we ought to gamble responsibly, not only for ourselves, but for those who looks up to us. 
Getting engaged in other activities is a way to distract your mind from thinking about gambling but this doesn't always work. Gambling is an addiction that takes time to be recovered from, finding something to do might only restrict you for a short period of time and in my opinion people use this as a way to run away from reality whereas you must be take some steps to stop this habit completely, this might take a long time but Rome wasn't built in a day. Unaddicting yourself from this toxic addiction takes a lot of time, discipline and consistency.
Just like with any other addiction, if someone has an issue they're gonna have that issue until they want to stop. No amount of you wanting them to change, wanting them to get help, or you wanting to help is going to make them change their habit.
Doesn't matter if it's gambling, drugs, sex, or whatever the addiction takes over and you have to want to stop.

- Give much priority to your work and field of study than gambling
Working and studying are priorities in life, because when someone prioritizes these two things in their life, and makes gambling just as entertainment, it means that they are living a balanced life, and their chances of becoming addicted will also be reduced drastically because their time is not completely spent on gambling. Prioritizing working and studying also has a much better positive impact compared to just spending time and money all day gambling, because someone can develop themselves and get more opportunities (whether it's to build a career, make money, or others), and things like this are what a person should do, not just gamble without thinking about their work or learning because that is the same as a failure.

A gambler should, and its a must, check the direction where he is going when it comes to gambling, whether he is playing for fun, because there will be a point where a gambler goes astray on his goal and mindset and he is not aware that he is getting astray on his direction.
So its important to check if the bankroll is increasing and if the time he allocated is also increasing.
Some gamblers keep denying that they've gone astray even though they already are because they failed to do a check and balance on their gambling activity.

Nowadays people are basically putting their eggs in basket which is gambling without knowing that there are holes surrounding the basket where if the eggs breaks or pieces it could be hard for even the shell to remain inside the basket. The truth must be told, we solely believe and have this thinking that gambling is the only source that can give someone the expected amount, even though there seems to be winning coming gradually one must not entirely depends on it as source of income rather should be seen as place to spare some time away having some cool rest after a stressful day at work. It's also important to give much hard work to other Jobs and not to gamble because the more you face gambling the more they gradually dive dip into addiction.

such as what people says about you, how your family talks about you or are you gradually becoming a problems to your family?
Or are you finding yourself not to stay without gambling for 4-10 hrs per day, weeks and so on?
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?
These are between early signs and moderate signs of gambling addiction. Even at this point a person who is self aware would already know that something is wrong and would seek a solution immediately. Without taking down any points or notes we should always do a self-check and take stock of how profitable, entertaining, and even irritating our gambling has become. We should do a greed check and we don't need to pay a professional for all of these. A simple introspection would be very helpful. Personally, I recommend that those who gamble take some weeks off or even a month off as rest or break period. such as what people says about you, how your family talks about you or are you gradually becoming a problems to your family?

My gambling habit is fine as I don't gambling too often and can strictly with the money I used for playing gambling. I also have so many activities that can makes me busy in all day long so I don't think about gambling too much. I prefer to be like that because that can reduce my gambling activity and I am not too worry with the gambling addiction because I can control myself.
In this matter, I can playing gambling whenever I want and stop immediately when I think I already lost for some money. I don't want to keep playing gambling as that can makes me lose more. I don't give a problem to my families because I can take care of myself when playing gambling and always moderately my gambling activity.
Gambling is a place for have fun for me like the other "have fun" activities.
