Topic: How can we help beginners not to get addicted - page 20. (Read 4166 times)

Hm, interesting perspective. To me it almost sounds like "Gamble away, folks, and don't think about the possibility of getting addicted!"

In my ten years' long gambling adventures, the main thing that keeps me from falling into addiction is that I always remember the possibility of it. I would suggest to the beginners in the world of gambling to never forget about this possibility and keep checking periodically whether they are not there.

Understanding gambling is a big lessons that every beginnerd actually need and been able to navigate through the emotional manipulation of gambling is another thing. We have different mindsets you know and trust, not all of us can handle the pain of losing and it's the ability to quickly heal and absorb loses that makes us a better gambler and not turn to an addict playing gambling but not everyone has this quality of looking away when they loses. Not been looking away makes them remember past losses.

The level I'm right now I understand gambling to some extent but if I have the opportunity to be a beginner again, I will make sure that I used demo to manipulate my emotions with losses to be able to see if I can handle it, if I do that successfully, that's when I will have the full confidence that yes I can now gamble and I can do everything with gambling but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be careful with the way I stake, management remain number 1 priority.

I mean, there is not much discussion to have about it. There will be always people who will try to step into a casino and get out of it with as much money possible. But part of it it is because, there is much advertisement being done on the winners of gambling, specially lottery. When there are so many advertisements together showing their millions earned, then I could not personally blame if some newbies felt lured into gambling because of the hope of changing their lives for good.
I am sure you have also noticed how the losses are never advertised or given too much attention on the internet and social media, unlike when some streamer alledgely managed to pull off a big win on the slots.

Perhaps, talking to the young about the effect of seeing too many of those advertisements could help some of them to realize that gamblinf is not supposed to be a source of income, just something one is supposed to engage in as entertainment.

I get your point op, but the truth is that, no matter how much awareness these casinos create, people will always want and choose the easy way to earn rather than working hard for it and most times, I personally think, these newbies are more focused on how to make money rather than wanting to take time to analyze their games and most of them even fall victim of scam if sure odd games and end up paying to get these so called games.

There are several ways to help beginners from not getting addicted is doing the little you can to create more awareness in your local environment and the dangers associated with excessive gambling

You can't really prevent anyone from gambling addiction online. You may be saying an important thing but the person who needs to hear that important thing doesn't listen well, but he will be right in his decision. But if you have brothers or friends around you who are interested in gambling but you don't want them to become addicted to gambling, you can give them proper instructions to get the idea of gambling properly. There are many differences between teaching someone in person and teaching someone online. In online classes there is no focus but in offline classes the focus is right on the teacher. So if you want to give proper instruction to someone offline then it will work for you, you can try online but I don't think it will work.

I think some of them have a forum in their site where they discuss gambling addiction and they have a feature where you can lock your account or possibly limit your bets but I think that's the least that they can do after all they are profiting from players that is getting addicted. Regarding the beginners, there's no way that the casino will ask a new created account if they are beginner and set a limit in their bets it's really up to the people itself on how they will take control of themselves, it's really hard to control it especially if you are new and you are overwhelmed by a lot of games and leagues you can play with.

I believe that gambling companies already did what they can, there will be limit to how they lecture people about responsible gambling, because if its too much then they are simply telling people not to gamble at all.

Some countries put age restrictions and they stop people from using debit cards to gamble online, they have tried, but are people not the stupid ones? Some people have crazy mindset when it comes to making money, you don't have to be told that gambling in expectations of making life changing money is asking for too much.

Still you will see gamblers risking money that's not their on gambling, some take loans to gamble and some quit their jobs to be a full time gambler, I hardly get a good news from such people, it is always one bad news after the other.

Nowadays, the way gambling is being promoted on various social media, it has become very difficult to save our children from this addiction. But if a child is above 18 then gambling is fine for him, but the casino is not good for children below that. We can see that nowadays various gambling promotions are conducted in all places from which people are attracted to gamble at that place. Therefore, to save children from gambling, they must be prevented from giving smartphones in their hands and make them focus on studies. However, if a responsible gambler gambles he will never become an addict, so always serve something good while gambling. Many times it is seen that there are some fathers who gamble in front of their children and the tendency of the child to become addicted to gambling increases when they see him. That is why a person should never gamble in front of children but should play responsibly so that he does not harm others, only then will the future generation be somewhat deterred from gambling.

Gambling addicts can do no good to themselves, family and society. Likewise, gambling companies do not benefit much from gambling addicts. A person will gamble again if he does something good or makes a profit by gambling. And if a person becomes destitute by gambling, then many others will stay away from gambling companies.

In essence, gambling companies do not profit from gambling addicts. Thank you very much for bringing up a nice topic neatly in the forum.

Let us all come and say no. Addiction in any matter brings harm to society and family and to oneself.

Yeah, but the main attractiveness of casinos is the idea that you can earn money from the games.

The games themselves are not really that entertaining, because they don't have to be.

They just need to be random in a way that makes the casino earn more than they pay to the gambler, and that's it.

There would be very few people playing if there was no real money involved.

Advising the newbies is what I normally see everytime in the forum and since we all have the choice to choose between good and evil, everyone is left to make their own decisions without any criticism. Sometimes we need to make couples of mistakes and failed multiple times so that we can value what we are doing and the advise of people that are around us trying for us to adjust and make decisions that would be beneficial to us so we can have a good gambling lifestyle without any problem in the future. Learning is one of the ways we could help ourselves from getting too freak about gambling because we want to make quick bucks.

I agree that if someone approach gambling to make money they have higher probability of getting addicted than someone who approaches it for fun
it's not given, because there's a lot of variability from human to human
but probably.

One interesting thing to think about is how casinos could make their games and engines less addicting though it goes completely against their interests.

That's what novice gamblers should understand, gambling adheres to the principle of not gambling excessively, because apart from spending a lot of money it also wastes a lot of time. As the wise saying goes, "time is money," so we can imagine what a loss it would be if these two things were lost at the same time. Of course it is quite easy to say but difficult to do, not everyone is able to carry out this principle even though that is the main thing that must be paid attention to. The advice only applies temporarily, the rest is for novice gamblers to have their own awareness.

On the other hand, it is better to hide gambling activities from the family, to avoid negative claims and making the atmosphere at home chaotic. With the existence of online gambling, someone can easily access gambling without many people including family members knowing. Prioritizing peace in the family is an infinite pleasure, don't look for pleasure in gambling but on the other hand destroy peace in the family.

Anyone can achieve responsible gambling, it's not all that hard but needs consistency. Gambling results change every single time money is wagered. Players also need to be optimistic about their thoughts and strategies, so as not to get left out. Because while the gambler's emotions are adjusting to the game and the lost funds, the player may find it hard to continue staying responsible. Most newbies didn't have in mind to be responsible in the game. They came for the sole aim of making money. Which isn't a smooth method of gambling. It's a strategy with lots of rough sides. That may injure the gambler emotionally, in the long run, leading him to addiction.

Hence, if a player who is fresh in the gambling niche, wishes to escape addiction, he needs someone to show him around. Nobody goes to a new town without direction and gets to his destination successfully. His funds could get exhausted on transportation fares looking for his destination. First, the newbie must begin by asking questions, on his new feelings as a gambler. Then move ahead to practice those things he's been told in the forum. I still stand on getting physical help or guardian, as the best way for a gambler to play responsibly. What is read online can be forgotten, due to the concept of gambling. But, another gambler's presence, plays a vital role in putting the newbie's confused thoughts back into shape.

Excess of everything is bad, even if there is something generally good but if you do it excessively, it will have diverse effects both good and bad, so gambling is no exception in this. When you gamble, you need to make sure that you are gambling within your limits and not crossing the limits, once you cross the limit, you are considered an irresponsible gambler and irresponsible gamblers tend to spend too much time and money on their gambling activities.

The views of people towards gambling are based on what they see. If a person is addicted to gambling within a family, everyone can see that person gambling all the time and spending all their time and money on it, they would surely have a bad view about gambling in general after seeing that.

I think the best way to protect yourself from gambling addiction is to keep a balance in your life. Seriously, you need to be moderately careful, moderately self-sufficient. And then the gambler will never have the desire to go to the casino. In general, you need to train personal qualities in yourself that do not allow you to bring confusion and chaos into your life depending on excitement. You need to stick to your views and be the master of your weaknesses.
In general, I think that anyone can achieve this.

Yes, it is very unfortunate if a beginner only sees his winnings and of course the beginner risks a lot of money to get the win he wants. and it is true that when he has placed a bet there, losing money cannot be avoided easily, even though it is done in a way that is considered safe, it will actually be very detrimental to him.

It is true that novice gamblers appear more confident because the first time they play, if they win, they will be very confident that they can and will be able to do it, even though they do not fully understand the big impact. risks that will occur.

It's very unfortunate when they gamble by only thinking about winning, while the possibility that they will definitely lose will make them lose money. also if they only think about winning, in my opinion it will only lead them to continue to lose more money, losing at gambling cannot be avoided, that means losing money when gambling is also unavoidable, it is not recommended that we gamble by only thinking about wins and wins only, because winnings in gambling cannot be predicted accurately.

Beginner gamblers certainly have strong confidence and self-confidence, plus usually beginners who gamble will usually win but don't know what's out there, because in my environment it's like that, people who gamble for the first time are usually given a win. , then with that win they come to believe that gambling can give them a quick win that can make them have a lot of money, but it actually traps them in addiction and big losses.

If the person have don't control on himself and also have greedy mind then it is not going to be possible making suggestions or how ever we can help them to not be addicted on gambling. And the things what we can do is only giving the advice to newbies to make gambling in their afford to lose and also don't fall in greed if then you will lose everything.

I will give beginners one simple advice that works every time and in everything. The more you think about not getting addicted, the bigger chances of becoming addicted there will be. Dont you notice, that more you think about something not to or to happen, it always happens. When you say to yourself «I must not fail», you fail in most cases. Because instead on focusing on the activity you focus on failing. If you focus on not becoming addicted instead of gambling, you will get addicted most likely.
