I think otherwise, because players with smaller amount of money undergo series of troubles same way the high rollers do. However, the emotional stress it causes to both classes of people in my view is unclear. The rich players don't bother so much about losing out lots of money, due to the money they've got on reserve. While the low rollers with low income, think about their losses a lot once their session is over. Similarly, same thoughts lead both sides to addiction. The rich players are mostly high rollers, and the type of money they lose in the game also makes them to think a lot.

Everyone takes risk in gambling, just that the differences are in the amount of risk or money spent in the process. Risk factors differ, and most people who have lesser amount sometimes go all in with every money they've got. Isn't it a bigger risk, compared to a player who has a lot of money but wagers within his normal expenses, but to the next person he would see the money as a big amount. Yes, it could be big, but not to the player. The whole comparison differs according to how the players spend their money. In a nutshell, the rich players also get addicted to gambling. Humans react to things similarly, in most cases, especially in a game as cost effective as gambling.

I think you're right the first thing  every individual that wants to go into gambling should do is understanding gambling, one ought to know about what they're about to do before they go into, for instance gambling requires luck and good strategies and not everyone who's about to go into it knows that therefore lack of knowledge about it would lead to their failure in it therefore leading to numerous loses.

 Some people just do things because they think because others are succeeding in it and therefore they would as well, there are others that feel they could keep trying until they get lucky, all these are things that leads to addiction because who know how often they might have tried before they'll ever be lucky to make any profits from gambling. And chasing loses is very risky and could make one lose a huge sum of money in the process of getting more.

Yes. Some people will get more hooked by this possibility
Random rewards
Pure luck games with no skill or little skill

I could bet that their power users spend a lot of money on casinos, keep losing but keep coming back

Hope can be a sweet poison

To help beginners avoid gambling addiction, it's important to promote responsible gambling practices and provide education and support. Here are some strategies:

1. Education: Provide beginners with information about the risks of gambling addiction, including how it can impact finances, relationships, and mental health.

2. Set Limits: Encourage beginners to set limits on time and money spent on gambling activities. Setting a budget and sticking to it can help prevent excessive losses.

3. Monitor Behavior: Encourage beginners to regularly assess their gambling behaviour and look for signs of potential addiction, such as chasing losses or neglecting responsibilities.

4. Seek Support: Provide resources and support for beginners who may be struggling with gambling addiction, such as helplines, support groups, or counselling services.

5. Promote Alternative Activities: Encourage beginners to engage in alternative activities that provide enjoyment and fulfilment without the risks associated with gambling.

6. Normalize Responsible Gambling: Promote a culture of responsible gambling within the community or social circles to reduce the stigma associated with seeking help for gambling addiction.

By promoting responsible gambling practices and providing support for beginners, we can help reduce the risk of addiction and promote healthier attitudes towards gambling.

The key is always about being a responsible gambler which is where you will be able to become a typical gambler like this when you already have the right and correct understanding of gambling itself, therefore in several other pages I often say that try to re-examine and understand what gambling activities really are because only with this, you will easily apply some things that are useful and useful to prevent yourself from some bad possibilities that exist in gambling such as addiction or experiencing a number of losses that are too significant.

If you don't have the right understanding of gambling, you will easily fall into it unconsciously because of the many temptations that can look very tempting which most gamblers who don't have the right understanding of gambling will easily enter and fall on the wrong path which will ultimately lead them to many possible disasters. On the other hand I understand that gambling for fun is recommended but don't be happy just yet because there is still a possibility for you to experience a change in mindset and point of view about gambling, and usually this kind of change is caused by many temptations that look tempting which unconsciously increases their interest in gambling and this is the reason why we must apply firmness to consciousness which is none other than to maintain balance and prevent unwanted things.

This concept that wealthy people are somehow better at gambling because they are wealthy? Complete rubbish. Whether you earned or received that money, addiction doesnt care. Your behaviour matters more than your bank account.

Smart people who construct things know gambling doesnt build money. The key is discipline. They're investing in businesses, not slots. They may spend some money at the tables for fun, but they have restrictions. Respect the money, knowing it represents work and potential, whether its yours or your family's. Smart people know gambling is a long-term suckers' game

Isnt it correct, that to get addicted to gambling a significant amount of time spend on gambling must have passed? What I mean is that addiction isnt instant. A person cant turn addicted after first play, not even from dozes of games. What I'm getting at is that beginner will be no longer a beginner when he is about to turn into addicted gambler. So to help him, people around him could notice change in his behavior, in the way he spends money, ask carefully question about gambling passion and give hints about addiction, about how serious this problem is and etc.

If the status of a rich gambler was originally that of a businessman, he would know that gambling is not the only way to seek wealth, so he knows that it is just for fun, so rich gamblers rarely make mistakes and end up addicted to gambling, we often find poor gamblers because they just want to try their luck to get rich quickly without any process, so that's what we have seen so far, no rich gambler has gone bankrupt because of gambling, of course he knows how to manage his money.

Especially in gambling, of course he will gamble with the money he is ready to lose so they don't mind that, if a rich person goes bankrupt because of gambling, he is not a businessman who started from zero and is rich, but is rich because of his parents' inheritance, usually gamblers who are not clever in business he will try to gamble to double his wealth and finally run out and go bankrupt, the gambler cannot be called a rich gambler because he is rich only from inheritance from his parents, there are no rich gamblers who often do business let alone go bankrupt because of gambling. They are definitely not stupid like poor gamblers who keep forcing themselves to gamble because they want to get rich quickly.

I think that there are very few addicted gamblers that are rich.

Mainly for two reasons:

First is that most rich people understand that gambling has a negative estimated value, so they probably won't be gambling.

Second is that if a rich person starts gambling their money, they will quickly stop being rich as they will most probably lose all their money very quickly.

So, in the end, not many rich people are gambling in any given moment of time.

These are undoubtedly good points my friend and it is good for us to show the beginners the right way. This is also applicable to experienced gamblers who are still facing huge challenges with gambling, because, for me, it is never too late for them to retrace their tracks and do the right thing. First, if gamblers get it wrong from the beginning, it is a problem and will continue to affect their gambling activities, experience and results no matter how much they try. They should have gotten it right from the beginning when they were still learning as the right learning and good sources of doing it are price. They are the best guide for anyone since it is part of what will build a solid foundation.

In fairness, I do not see how the gambler who learned rightly and was forewarned about the issues in gambling will still be greedy or aggressive/desperate about getting the money. This is except the gambler is naturally foolish on their own. The first thing that should be learned in gambling advice should be the neutrality of the gamblers above all things, and this will be buttressed towards the whole psychology of gambling for the best experience. Also, gamblers should never aim for the money, but the fun, and if at all the money must be made, it should be engaged reasonably and with the right risk that will not hurt in any way.

The management in gambling must also be taken seriously as it works in line with the psychology, because I wonder how a gambler who missed it in the area of management and risks so hugely and loses will be able to manage his psychology. This is why learning rightly is so important, and if the gambler is wise and smart, even if such does not earn so big, when losing, the losses will be minimal to avoid being pained.

You are right, a gambler's financial status is quite important in facing the risk of possible gambling addiction. I saw some of my old friends who were addicted to gambling. and most of them are those who have very good finances when they start gambling.
because they can spend quite a lot of capital to play, which makes them lose control of their finances. Financial conditions that are quite good can be quite bad for beginners in gambling. The impact will be different when gamblers with small capital play with much less intensity than those who have large capital.

A new gambler has to learn gambling education first. By learning about gambling, the gambler can easily determine his pros and cons. Gamblers can gain a better understanding of how gambling can become addictive or how to get rid of addiction. A new gambler gets so engrossed in the beginning of gambling that he has no idea what human pressure is when the gambler learns to care for his health. A gambler will also get an idea of how a gambler will handle gambling under any adverse conditions.

Gamblers should conduct gambling within a certain limit. Limiting him will give him a signal from that position when he is over gambling. When the gambler gets that signal he can stop his gambling. If newbies get a supportive environment for gambling I think they can save themselves from addiction. And for this it is necessary to have a good communication with those gamblers who are experienced and knowledgeable. Those gamblers who have a tendency to be overly greedy or over-gambling are more likely to become addicted. A gambler can recover from addiction if he can be withdrawn from it.

Sometimes I think that addiction is to be with the financial status of a gambler. If a gambler is rich and he does not care much about the money, he will usually play excessive gambling and sooner or later will become addicted to it. On the other hand, a person like me, will think twice about the risk involved in gambling and will try to gamble with limited money, so that the loss incurred is also low. That may be another reason why the poor gamblers remain poor because they do not take the risk (which is good to some extent) while rich gamblers may become richer if they win big or they become addicted to it (and also lose a lot of money).

In my opinion one thing and it is quite simple to help beginners not to get addicted is to never put excessive expectations on winning, because in some cases usually gamblers who end up trapped in a cycle of addiction always start by experiencing a change in interest where the interest becomes very high which is usually caused by excessive in terms of responding to the first victory at the beginning of their involvement and obviously by responding to this excessive victory it will raise expectations in yourself to be able to get another victory in the next session, and after that most of them are slapped by the fact that the next session turns out not to be what they expected, they came to produce by putting very high hopes and when they lose then it is clearly natural that they feel disappointed and unable to accept the fact of losing and this is the scenario that triggers the beginning of a gambler falling into impulsive gambling.

So don't get your hopes up about winning in gambling, just think of it as a normal game that costs money to play and when you do win then think of it as nothing more than a gift from the casino because you were lucky.

Even non-addicted gamblers can break their promise to themselves from time to time. And I believe, we are all guilty of such. But if you have the determination not to be hooked and have the mindset not to deplete your bankroll, you will go back to your goals when it comes to your gambling lifestyle. In most cases, once you are chasing your losses, that's when you start breaking your allocated budget. And it can easily lead to addiction as you won't be stopping and before you know it, you are already too deep with your gambling activities.

Continuously wagering little amount of money levels the playground between enjoying the game and dealing with unhappiness. However, not every gambler enjoys wagering small amount of money at all times. Adjusting the wagering spirit to an expensive level, changes the whole concept of enjoying gambling by wagering in bits. Not paying attention to details affects the way some gamblers think. Wagering as a high roller, an amount high enough to get a player uncomfortable, when lost, doesn't encourage a sustainable fun in gambling. Such players understand the deep pains of losing money in gambling, through a first experience.

The anxiety it may cause the player will push him around lurking for means of recovering back his normal financial status. Once the brain losses focus, it requires lots of brain power to trace it back to the right form. Most times the excitement we once seek, leads gamblers to an unbearable financial loss. Shifting from one strategy to another, also demands that a player controls his moves not to hit the wrong choice. A player who, by wagering gradually, maintains his ideology of gambling as an entertainment, only gets a slap in the wrist for his mistakes. While greedy players will face the music for not managing properly their finance. Every player gets what they deserve.

Gambling wrecks lives and families. Everyone's got a tale, right? It's wiring gone wrong, not badness. The brain is hijacked. We adore blaming others, but what happens? Yes, the gambler is responsible for their actions, but there's more to the story. It's in our DNA to want excitement. Calling addiction an illness is too simple. It's an illness, but it taps into something basic that the modern world doesn't always provide.  Everyone wants that next high, that feeling of life. Replacing gambling might work. But that BIG WIN craving? That's hard to erase. Understanding what humans, not just addicts, want is key

Fun is part of this disaster. Gambling for fun can be fascinating and harmless. Man, that balance is tough. How do you maintain enjoyment while containing the gloom that threatens?

It takes willpower to set yourself limits and not break them. I myself use this practice and I'll be honest sometimes I really want to get some more money on the casino deposit to continue gambling. Most of the time I manage to avoid it, but again at this point I have to fight with myself. Therefore, I believe that helps not only limit the deposit, but also self-control gambler, because replenish the deposit casino nowadays can be replenished in a few minutes. It is important not to give in to this desire at the moment of temptation.

These keys which you have pointed out aren't totally out of place but then there isn't any particular manner in which one can gamble that will guarantee success gambling or failure because some persons could defile this norm and still get lucky and succed while some may follow this norm and still not succeed. So gambling can actually be so luck based sometimes that you may actually not have a particular pattern with which you will succeed gambling but the difference is stainability and consistency because if you are following up with this keys most likely you can be consistent with your results and for a good while it will be consistent.

Gambling for fun actually has got so many relativity around it because the fun sometimes could be conditional in the sense that at some point some persons get their fun when they are winning while the others get their fun regardless of the outcome of the game.  

however the fact is that most beginners understand the risks of addiction from gambling, but they just don't care about it. because all they think about is how they can earn money from gambling and have fun until their hearts are fulfilled. that is the current reality why many gamblers fall into addiction because from the start they didn't care about it and no one told them that their gambling had led to addiction.
