Topic: How can we help beginners not to get addicted - page 4. (Read 4166 times)

So far yes what you said is true that most of them beginners tend to always focus on the positive results rather than the negative impact, and it is a fact that many beginners come because they are tempted by the victories achieved by other people they see without knowing that the people they see have actually experienced various bad events such as losing significant amounts of money in the process of their gambling involvement, and they also do not know that the big wins made by other people are actually nothing more than the result of luck that comes at the right time.

In some cases, beginners will get caught up in the dopamine rush in their brain when they manage to win big in the beginning of their gambling which will form a more chaotic mindset that will be more harmful to themselves in the long run, they will not hesitate to make various out-of-control decisions that have the potential to have a negative impact. Therefore, I honestly always suggest or give an understanding of how gambling actually works to beginners who want to get involved in gambling.

I doubt if the reason of gambling addict is as a result of not understanding what gambling is all about because there are numerous of people who knows and understand what gambling is all about and the chances of becoming an addict and after knowing all this things most of them still end up becoming an addict, so I don't think lack of gambling understanding is the major factor that causes gambling addict but however I think is an individual fault because at the moment someone doesn't have control of what he is doing then he becomes vulnerable to it.

So I believe that's one of the reasons why most people easily get addicted, though gambling addiction could come from so many ways such as gambling with a particular amount and after losing it you intend to continue gambling in other to win back the money and before you could realize yourself you had already drone to gambling were it will be very difficult to stop so that's actually how most of the people became an addict today, so however I think they best way for a gambler to be safe is to budget a particular amount of money he will be using for a gambling either on a month or more and never to go beyond that even if he loses or win.

Before thinking about this I think you have to look into the fact that there's no bad publicity. Young people don't care about the good aspect of some of the things they have been taught in school. What matters is that they hear it, nobody knows if the kids would practice it or not. So, talking about gambling addiction in school is just another form of publicizing gambling to the young students. It can actually impact into their life in a strange way, that is, negatively, because they would want to try it out. Think of how sex education has been taught in schools but people still don't look into having safe sex. Premarital sex is still on the increase across the world.

Although it helps to teach young people about gambling and how difficult it is to earn money. But, that should be the work of their parents, not school teachers. Students get pressured by their peers to try gambling. And when it's discussed in school, they'll have a set of pupil who wouldn't learn what is being taught. When they get home they'll want to research about it and then delve into the niche unprepared. If the task is left for parents to handle, they could help their children escape addiction. However, children are exposed to gambling ads all over the net, with their parents always busy with work. Yet I don't think teaching responsible gambling in school would be beneficial to school kids.

Indeed this is the mindset of most newbies in gambling and that is were they get it all wrong. Everything has it advantage and disadvantages but when you fail to consider the disadvantages you might as well end up walking towards that part without you even knowing. There is a saying that, you cannot solve a problem when you don't know the cause. Having the consciousness that gambling will not always favour you, will help you keep a discipline financial behaviour. So a beginner must first know the dangers of gambling because most of them get referred based on wins from their friends and all the pictures  they have have in mind is how gambling  can make them rich overnight.

Ideally, the dangers of gambling entertainment should be talked about in some format as early as high school. Young people should realise that there are no free ways to get rich, and that some effort is required everywhere. One in a million can become rich just like that (unfortunately, I do not have exact statistics). And this must be kept in mind and do not forget when you dive headlong into gambling entertainment.

That is a flaw that is often present in most people, they only think about the positive outcomes they can get, but they hardly think about the negative consequences their actions may carry, a huge mistake as in the case of gambling, it is quite likely that the negative outcomes get to happen, and if you are not psychologically ready to face them, it could not be long until you take mistaken decisions when that happens, which could cause you some terrible losses.

Well, I see your first sentence to be inaccurate, as it's not proper to cut the head simply because you are having a headache, gambling is not an automatic means to get addicted to it but how people take it causes the addiction. If you can't control yourself, especially your emotions and mind regarding gambling, then it becomes a problem. But this problem is not directly orchestrated by gambling but by the weak minds of the gamblers, so should we now entirely avoid gambling just because we are not man enough to be cautious and control ourselves, I say No. I for one is not addicted to gambling and what has helped me most is the fact that I do not take anything too seriously, esevailly when it involves money. This is in addition to the fact that I have a very strong mind, I mean I have my on mind that I can control actively, and this has helped me to have my say over gambling.

As for beginners or anyone who is fighting gambling addiction, they should go back to their drawing table of initial learning and mind shaping towards it, if not, it will never stop and it could get aggravated into more issues. If gamblers are pre-warned about the issue of gambling and prepared to be cautious towards it, it will never be an issue for them. They will gamble with care and calculatively, to the point that they will never put their minds on the money to be made through gambling but will always resort to the true fact that gambling is more luck-inclined and nothing more.

With this understanding, and with the right preparation and expertise in the areas of planning, budgeting and management, and also in the preservation of a balanced psychology, I am sure that the gambler will be a better person void of addiction and other gambling issues.

Yes, it's a good step to tell beginners about the bad experiences that experienced gamblers have had and hopefully this step can really make beginners aware so they don't get addicted to the gambling they do.
And I hope that beginners can be more careful because the temptation before their eyes is definitely waiting for them.

Of course the host has a greater chance of winning, and with us the others are likely to only have long-term losses. considering that gambling is a game of chance for the players, the chance of winning is smaller than the chance of losing, but for the host of course they have a definite chance of winning and of course this cannot be changed. It's true that beginners are usually locked in their thinking by the wins they've had, they think the first win is a good start, but I think even if they win it's the start of a loss, and if they make money it's the start of a loss. Beginners must be able to understand this so that they don't get caught in big losses.

of the many gamblers, of course most of them are gamblers who are easily carried away by their emotions so that in many cases there are big losses. only a few intelligent gamblers can gamble. Indeed, it cannot be hidden that gambling can really make us addicted to the point where we can spend all the money we have, especially if we don't have good self-control, a strong addiction will occur.

Addiction can still be avoided by those who can gamble wisely in all matters such as their budget, time, or actions. but defeat is inevitable. So maybe it's more accurate if you're not ready to lose or lose money then don't gamble. Gambling addiction is of course a consequence that will occur if they gamble excessively, such as with their budget or actions that exceed their limits. also with losses that are certain to occur, it will make them addicted to gambling if they are not ready to lose money or are not ready to lose.

with those who gamble or make bets for the first time, the chance of becoming addicted is very big, especially if in their first gambling or betting they get pleasant results such as winning, of course brain changes will occur where they can think that they can make money by gambling and Of course, that is wrong thinking because it will only make them addicted or addicted to gambling Maybe the key is that they have to have good self-control and if they don't have it yet, they have to be able to learn to control themselves so they don't gamble excessively.

You must first comprehend expected value. This is the long-term average for gambling. Most gambling games favor the house since they have a larger expected value than the participants. It gives them an edge. What does this mean for you? Long-term gamblers are more likely to lose than win. Just math. Beginners must understand this since they often get taken in by significant winnings without understanding the long-term probabilities

You should gamble, but do it smartly. So risk management is needed. Knowing your loss tolerance, setting limitations, and sticking to them is key. Gambling should be fun, not profitable. Consider this: you wouldn't put your life savings in one stock, right? Diversify, spread risk. Gambling deserves equal treatment. It's not just about money. Playing gambling can be addicted, which is worrying. Thus, knowing the indications of addiction and when to leave is crucial. We should all discuss that more openly

Addiction and habit aren't same, yes. But habit could lead to addiction if care is not taken. Many players are not to be blamed for their gambling misfortunes. It's all a growth thing, those who are still gambling without getting addicted have too many strategies to that and how it works. Others who only possess money with no strategy tend to face the problem of a gambling habit. We all have been there and it requires control and focus on whatever is our daily task. If not, the day will exhaust with nothing to achieve not even the money.

Hence, gambling is a threat to players who don't understand how it works. The individual differences shows how people react to mistakes and failure in their lives. Good gamblers fade away the losing thoughts and reserve more money for a next game. Problem gamblers don't do this, meaning how weak and unprepared they are to losing in gambling. When a player losses money and feels so bad about it that he goes for it, then he's not harnessing a nice gambling habit.

I think "don't chase your losses" can be a very useful advice to beginners. Many gamblers lose much more than what they were wanting to recover in the beginning because of this destructive process. I think, in reality we all do that sometimes. No gambler, even an experienced one, is immune to that. It often happens with me too. I lose $5 and I think I will just take that back and I quit. But I lose $20 more instead. And than I stop, because I don't want to lose even more. It is very important to stop when you lost $25 already. It is very important to not try to recover that amount. You should know that it can become $100 and then $200 and so on.

Afraid to get addicted - dont gamble. Pretty simple. Getting addicted to something is individual problem. There are people who gamble for many years and still not addicted. There are people who have lost their first bet, now chase that loss and all they think is how to stop this and end with profit. Imho it is impossible to tell when or after which bet a switch in brain will trigger and person get addicted. Important notice - repeatedly doing something does not mean addiction. Habit is not an addiction.

Maybe we can tell them about the bad effects that will occur if they gamble excessively or by giving them other advice that will make them have self-control so they don't take big risky actions. with those of us who are experienced, of course we know what to do for those who are still beginners, especially if the beginners are our own brothers or relatives. If you are with relatives who are still the same as me and are not married but already have an income, I will not forbid it, but will give advice not to be reckless in gambling.

Rather than regretting it in the end, it would be better for them to prevent it from the start, because prevention is better than cure. This must be taken into account so that they are not careless in deciding what decisions to make. Apart from that, I think of course beginners will only think about the positive side of gambling, namely winning, it is very unlikely that they will be able to think about the negative side of gambling.

It's hard, but it's still possible for them not to get addicted to gambling.

The fastest way is to not involve themselves into gambling at all. This is hard especially when the person is curious on how gambling works, and he's also seeing tons of winnings coming from other people. It's hard for them not to get involved into gambling because these might attract them to try it as well hoping that they will win.

Now that online gambling is gaining popularity and on a fast pace, it's hard for beginners not to get addicted into gambling. For me, I think the best way is to teach them the negative side of gambling. Teach them how gambling can affect one's life negatively. Teaching them the negative effects of gambling might be a reason for them not to try it at all. For addicted ones, this might be hard to do, but for beginners, this can be easily done I believe.

That's right, because beginners don't have much understanding and knowledge about gambling, they are not yet optimal in how to control themselves correctly and appropriately when playing gambling.
Yes, as you said, if in the beginning beginners win, they easily get trapped by the tricks in the casino, namely beginners become more aggressive in playing and chasing wins again and again.
And then what beginners get is far from happiness and the feeling of regret that beginners get is because they are too selfish in pursuing victory and spend a lot of money so that they suffer losses.

Well, in most cases, we can say, better mind your own business. I would prefer to give a piece of advice if they ask for it. If not, let them be. They will learn their lessons on their own time. We can't force some newbie to follow the rules in gambling if they haven't experienced it yet. Most of the time, you will understood such reminders if you happen to experience it on your own. So give them their own space and learn from their mistakes on their own accord. It is better this way as such learning will be instilled in their minds.

There's nothing special about the system, we should always become careful because the slightest mistakes will make one record losses when money is involved. Beginners know exactly what they signed up for and they will do their best for the purpose not to learn it the hardware. I've come to realized how smooth gambling have become all these years and a very promising sector for those of the gamblers that do have a nice strategy to trigger for enormous profits for ourselves.

What I think is that we have to be very tactful when talking to these people, because if we don't get along very well with them we could be in trouble with them, we have to know well what they like, or at least what they like the most. to find the ideal words to be able to say them, then sometimes you have to enter very tactfully so that a bad performance does not occur and that person, instead of us giving advice and becoming friends, do not go to achieve the opposite because there It's worse, so before speaking I think you have to be very intelligent to find the right words to enter tactfully.
