Topic: How can we help beginners not to get addicted - page 18. (Read 4166 times)

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.

An addicted gambler finds it hard to control their addiction. Instead, the addiction controls the gambler emotionally, thereby putting him under the influence of compulsive gambling for a long period. Leaving the player with no energy to bring his bad gambling habit to a halt. On the other flip, I recently read a research paper that claims addicted gamblers can get over the problem themselves. It was seen as impossible in my view, when I was first reading psychotherapy. Where it's stated by therapists that addiction can't be solved alone, without someone else's help. At this point, it sounds confusing, but nothing in literature is absolutely right.

I thought about a longtime friend who was just about getting addicted to gambling but later ended his involvement with gambling activities. I was not, in a bit, interested in knowing how he did it, but I'm a bit clear he did it alone. I know of someone else whose girlfriend helped him stop his gambling habit, and he's never done gambling even in her absence; a month or two away from him. While I'm certain these are rare cases, they're players who got so compulsive that it was impossible to survive it alone. So, using the term "anyone can control their addiction" is wrong, as not everyone is capable of dealing with gambling addiction all alone. A lot of players suffer addiction till date because no avenue of help is close by.

I think it is because they don’t set limit on their gambling behavior, that’s how it grows out of hand. It can happen to anyone because we’re all humans and have emotions, so it’s best to set limits/restrictions which will call you back to your sense when you are lost in trying to recover your losses or when you are becoming greedy (cause that sometimes is the beginning of the loss).

In my opinion, all gamblers are well aware of their chances of winning, because this information is publicly available and everyone who has read at least one or two articles on gambling knows how likely he can beat the casino or bookmaker's office. I think it is more about the psychology of each individual person. Someone can easily stop at any point in the gambling session, and someone needs to spend all the money and until he does not do it, he just can not stop. It is possible that such gamblers will help to limit the deposit, but on the other hand the question remains how they will control it.

Not just to gamble with limited money, but seek help and advice from people whom you know can tell your all precautions to take that can reduce the addiction. At some point, I think that if a gambler is able to plan how they spend their money and only allocates a small amount to their gambling balance, it could also help them.

Of course because addiction is the worst phase in the sense that it has or can have the worst impact on a gambler when he has entered that phase where addiction is a situation where a person is already at a high level of interest in gambling and the impact is certainly very bad, the impact of addiction can cause many problems and can destroy a person's life in various aspects such as perhaps in terms of financial ruin due to debt or destruction of relationships with families where lately I have not rarely seen or heard of several couples who ended up in divorce due to one of them suffering from gambling addiction which made the family's economy plummet.

On the other hand, I quite agree with the idea that is often said by people here that addiction is a disease that is difficult to overcome, because this is a disease that exists in the human brain where they are very obsessed with gambling along with putting hope and faith in gambling to be able to get a lot of wins, and I think this is a matter of misunderstanding or the point is that from the beginning they misunderstood what gambling meant, And the point is that one of the reasons why addiction is difficult to overcome is because the gambler still has a high interest in gambling which means that if for example the interest has disappeared for some reason then I would say that it is an easy situation to recover from addiction and I experienced it and have proven it myself.
