Topic: How can we help beginners not to get addicted - page 22. (Read 4088 times)

The whole question is what attracted a person to gambling - the desire to earn money or the desire to have fun. If the former, then the probability of addiction is very high, because the beginner will try to earn something (and then it often turns into an unrestrained desire to win back). If the latter, it is easier. It is enough to offer an equivalent substitute in terms of emotions and andrenaline

Gambling is not a collective decision that we need others peoples opinion on how to gamble, same way we may not have to hold anyone responsible on how we are gambling because we have our own freedom to choose how we want to engage with it, if a beginner learn the proper way he should follow and do while gambling, he will need no one to direct him later on how to gamble responsibly, because he already had started well, just as it is easy to get corrupted for doing the wrong thing, and to amend it will take more heavier efforts, same as addiction, it is better not to start than trying to stop.

Again I'm reading something about gambling companies being interested in making profits from gambling addicts. I strongly disagree with this and expressed my point thoroughly in my post above. Please read it and make your objections if you have them. I'm open to discussion.

What is clear is that there will never be gambler who wants to experience ruin in life or even become addicted to gambling, if they still have reason and logic that still functions normally, they will definitely try to avoid all of this without any help from anyone.
But basically gambling is an activity full of mystery, many gamblers when they first get to know gambling can start with wise and responsible attitude but as time passes, under certain conditions they lose awareness and do deviant things.
They have greedy attitude, have the desire to make money from gambling and try to recover losses so that what they use in gambling only gives bad results.
It is really difficult to consistently stay with good attitude and mindset for long time and they will really be able to return to normal thinking if they have had series of bitter experiences, this is reality that no one can deny.

Beginners need all the experience in gambling, they have to experience wins and losses to really be able to determine and think well about what to do next.
Without experiencing all the experiences they have, they will not be able to think well because their thinking tends to be monotonous.

It's true, that taking those risks without minding how the activity works, helps in learning, but doing that in gambling with money isn't right. Because loss of money can affect the player's thoughts not to focus on doing the right thing anymore. He'd be more concerned about learning ways of regaining his funds back. They could go ahead to read articles that focus on methods that could help or facilitate their winning possibilities in gambling. These methods we both know don't work, but only work in bringing downward the gambler's control over his gambling activities.

Hence, while newbies undergo such challenges alone, it's quite reasonable to get them some working methods like being careful with their bankroll. Unfortunately, as you said, not all of them can come across works or articles that can change their perspectives. That's the risky aspect of gambling in this manner as a gambler. It sounds like blindly gambling for money alone. Players in this category have a lot to learn but go to read the wrong things. So, this could be the catalyst to why lots of newbies run for the money. They are trying to defeat the house.

Basically i see it that its their lack of experience that really plays out, since they are just new to gambling and are really yet to experience losses they do tend not to understand the fact thst they could easily loose their money as much as they easily won probably with their first trial where they got their beginners luck, especially those who got Lucky on their first trial, their confidence becomes very high such that they are very optimistic with almost every of their games untill they begin ro encounter losses there and then they will start becoming careful and strategic because they have now gotten the what it feels like experiencing both losses and wins.

Learning from an experienced gambler will always do them more good buy in most cases they wouldn't want to be thst patient enough because they just want to quickly make the money they have kept their high hopes upon and are definitely stopping at nothing to get such money.

Well said, Who wants to be addicted to gambling? of course no one, so if you start gambling, you should prepare yourself immediately, you should control yourself so that you don't develop gambling addiction. to avoid this, we must know our goal once we enter gambling, we must also know the consequences that can happen if we don't take care of the things that can destroy ourselves in terms of mental and financial aspects.Gambling is tricky, at first it will give you the winnings but when it lasts and it feels that you are enjoying the game, it will gradually take back all your winnings until you run out so you should know your limitations especially in your spending habits here.

Basically, no one wants to be addicted to gambling to destroy their life, whether financially or in terms of survival, but if they do gamble then whether they are addicted or not is up to them, including what they think about responding to gambling. If they think that gambling can make money and give them money or can make them rich in a short time then that is a mistake that can trigger them to become addicted to gambling.
However, if they gamble appropriately and with good thinking, such as gambling just for entertainment purposes, it is likely that they will not experience problems with their gambling, such as addiction or losing a lot of money in a short gambling session.

Yes, all gamblers will experience great depression if they lose and are unable to accept it, therefore both experienced gamblers and novice gamblers must have a strong sense of responsibility so that when they lose they are ready and able to accept it because we will definitely do it. take a risk. from gambling someday. And it is true what you said is that beginners should look at the experiences experienced by senior gamblers because that is also one step to prevent them from becoming addicted to gambling.


It is true that this often happens in aspects of our lives when someone who does not understand and learn new or unfamiliar things in their daily life will feel curious and want to try doing it and dare to take the risks that will occur. happens because it will be fine because if you haven't experienced it then you haven't been successful and satisfied, so this is what is in the minds of prospective gamblers who are addicted.

This applies to most aspects of our life as well, the ones that know the least about an activity are often the ones that take the most risks when practicing it, since they are unaware of the real risks they are taking, and only once they suffer important losses they will realize how mistaken they were to underestimate gambling, thinking they could easily make money with it, now some of those people can change their ways and become responsible gamblers, but there are others that will fail to do this and unfortunately they will begin their journey towards addiction.

It depends on the individual, because not all beginners have a lot of money to be able to gamble with a large amount of bets. but it's true what you said, beginners usually only capitalize on courage, and even that courage in my opinion is unintentional, so they gamble with a complete lack of understanding of gambling. but strangely, I often see why beginners usually get a win, I wonder if it's a trick of the casino or the host to make them believe in gambling or what.

It's not just beginners, I think all experienced gamblers or beginners will experience depression and stress if they can't control themselves so that it makes them lose a lot of money. a possible way to prevent beginners from getting addicted may be to give them examples of the bad effects that have happened a lot to gambling.

Because they are equipped with a lot of money, beginners appear more confident in all the gambling games they see, and they don't even hesitate to risk large amounts of money. even though in fact the beginner has not really studied all types of casino games so only with courage and a strong sense of self-confidence he is willing to enter the casino just to get the wins and pleasure he hopes for.
However, in the long term, if a beginner cannot control himself and find out or learn from experienced gamblers, then he will suffer more in his life and can also experience the risk of severe depression due to the large loss of money he experiences.

Indeed, one's effort to participate in gambling should always be appreciated. Gambling is primarily for entertainment. People who love entertainment and like to be entertained love to gamble but some people get addicted to this entertainment game. Those who find this game too easy and a means of earning money become more addicted. It completely destroys life. I would like to tell every new and old gambler that gambling should be used as entertainment, not as a means of making money and that a fixed budget of income should be used in gambling so that if it is lost there is no pain in oneself. A person will never become addicted to gambling if he does not develop a plan in his mind after losing.

Newbies are naive and curious to win, they're also equipped with lots of money. Thereby they gamble not minding whether it'll finish soon or not, soon the whole funds disappear, and they start all over again. Repeating the same process that finished their funds. Till they get frustrated and agitated whenever gambling. Such feelings are a result of the emptiness of the necessary gambling information needed to gamble responsibly. It's never a one-day thing, gambling newbies won't learn immediately. But putting them on the right track is quite crucial in building a serene gambling environment. With well experienced players in the future.

Yet getting this job done is mainly a personal thing, hence newbies are not opportune to find experts unlike during the days of offline casinos.

These days online gamblers, tutor themselves and utilize strategies from random streamers. Even reading up on online content on responsible gambling is not as effective as working alongside an experienced gambler who directs the newbie player on ways to manage time and money. Limitation is a smart move in countering the uncertainty in gambling. The Well-known slogan gambling gives profits, circulates fast more than any other gambling information. Any newbie has this information first before gambling. He'd need someone else to show him other useful terms in gambling to help correct his thoughts.

there's also the interesting fact that life is a mess, it's pure chaos, life is not like a lasagna, life is spaghetti.
it's really pretentious to think that our path will be the best for everyone
our path is the best for us but each person will find their way to live, it can be completely different than our way and that's ok.

Newbies just starting to be gambling make the same mistakes that other have made in the past and got ruined by gambling as they didn't learn from the mistake others before them that are gamblers have made. When a new gambler doesn't what to take the advice from gamblers that have the experience due to gambling many years before them, they'll also make the same mistakes and get addicted to gambling which will make them to be constantly losing money.

There's nothing wrong to learn from other individuals and make yourself to be protected from addiction. Helping newbies to not get addicted will depend on the newbies as not all newbies want to be taught, they think they can do everything on their own without the help of others. Some of them get successful but it takes them time as they keep making mistakes that they could have known about and avoided.

If we are talking about someone who has never gambled before, we can't do anything to stop them from trying, because we can't be with them 7/24 so if they do happen to come across gambling and want to give it a shot, they can go 40+ years in life without ever gambling and then give it a shot one day and become an addict eventually. We heard stories about people like that from all over the world, it is not a new thing and it will never be a new thing.

What we need to arrange however, would be something that could become a lot bigger, something that could take sometime, which is why we should be careful about it. If they do start, and they are just newbies at gambling, that's when we can get in and try to stop them from going any further.

That's right, to be precise, he still has an extraordinary curiosity about new things that come into his life, then he will enter slowly following the flow in his heart and mind, then if he feels comfortable then he will continue and that is a normal thing that happens to novice gambler.
Yes, if he cannot really understand real gambling then he will experience extraordinary greed and this must always be taken into account by novice gamblers because he may not yet be able to accept the impact of the risks of gambling.

Yes, we might be able to look at other people's experiences in gambling addiction as a lesson for us. but sometimes something that doesn't happen to us doesn't really matter to us. Honestly, no one wants to be ruined by a gambling addiction. We have seen many t-shirts but still sometimes we make the same mistakes that other people do.
There are more cases of those who finally realize that they are addicted after they experience their own losses. not from other people's experiences.

Depends on a certain person when it comes to approach on things because there are ones who are delusional and there are ones who are really that realistic and sensible in towards their actions
and there are ones who do live in a dream and assuming that they could really be able to make money without having any issues on which on the time that they would really be able to experience
the worst things then this is where they would really be making those kind of realizations on which we know that once they would really be able to lose money then it would really be something
that make them realize that it was never been ideal for them to have that kind of thinking towards it.

Getting addicted is something that likely that would really be happening on you on which on the time that you would really be making up yourself on having such condition. You would
really be eventually making yourself having that delusional approach which it would really be leading into disaster later on.
