Topic: How can we help beginners not to get addicted - page 7. (Read 4088 times)

Limit and moderation is something that you would really be needing up to consider on the moment that you would really be getting involved with gambling on which this is something that you will really be needing up because if we do speak about damage that addiction could give then this is something that will really be messing up your life with and comes into a point that you would be having that regret that you'd wish that you shouldn't have known gambling in the first place. This is why it would really be best or better that on the time that you do see someone that playing out some gambling specially if its known to you or someone close to you then its not making out some advises or having those kind of words of caution but of course people wont really be always that confident on telling it to someone whom they dont know.

Things like these are helpful for the gamblers but still usually we have emotional peoples done mistakes and then having troubling time which hurt them or bring more addiction because if you are winning then surely you are having positive mind, and you can use these things easily but sometime while you are having loses then you try to have things back into your control which are never been easy during this period mostly peoples lost more for the recovery which bring more loses.
Even this is not happening with all but still this is issue of many peoples which are in this for the long time specially where communities or authorities are not helpful specially I am talking about few regions where this is ban but still going around without any problem.

Setting a limit is more important for a gambler that's finding him her self more closer to gambling. However if a gambler sets a decent limit from his bank account, he won't fund enough money that he Dan not afford to risk. It's quite important to everyone that's gambling or be becoming addicted slowly so that they won't gamble with why they can not afford to lose.

Gambling's "what if" thrill can hook you. The uncertainty and a chance to win keep people coming back. Man, chance rules. No plan will affect the odds. You can boost your odds. Knowing the game and odds is important. Knowledge and strategy help poker players calculate pot odds and make smarter plays.  Ultimately, luck is uncontrollable. Listen, stories of turning a little gamble into a fortune are rare. Enjoy the game, but be wise about it. Know your limit, turn away, and don't chase losses

Of course there's nothing else you can do but put a lot of restrictions in place if you or anyone else doesn't want to end up addicted, but I think it's really only you, or I should say only you, who can help you avoid any unwanted possibilities. On the other hand I have never heard of some casinos advising gamblers to act responsibly and gamble in moderation, although it may be true that there are some features that can be used as gambling limits or exceptions but still if a gambler comes back excessively or gambles without time limits, or after losing he returns to deposit then addiction or losing a larger amount of money can really happen.

And on the other hand I'm sure that all casinos have the same goal which is to make a lot of profit from a lot of losing gamblers, meaning that the more gamblers who go overboard the more likely it is that the casino's profits will definitely be greater, and I'm sure this is what most casinos want, and maybe you've gotten some messages to your cell phone number from casino officials advising you to gamble immediately with the lure of big wins or bonuses.

as you said, people need to set limits so that they don't get addicted to gambling due to excessive gambling. usually casinos provide several features that gamblers can use to regulate their limits, such as deposit limits, self-exclusion, etc. these are features that can help gamblers if they think that they cannot regulate themselves. these features really help gamblers and prevent them from playing excessively which can cause addiction to them.

True, I agree with your opinion that all gamblers can only win by chance in any way but sometimes without any way they can still win because actually only luck can make someone win in gambling, so there is no need to be too encouraged by various strategies, because when you put your hopes on strategies then usually you will be more likely to feel disappointed at the end of the session, as you said because after all there is absolutely no plan that can guarantee victory in gambling, in the end it is still if you are lucky then you will win.

On the other hand reaching a winning amount of $1 million using a capital of $20 is obviously hard to believe, although for example any possibility can always happen in gambling especially when you are really very lucky, but honestly it is hard to believe because not everyone can really go through the process easily, and I would be quite confident if the capital amount was more than $20.

Reading your post can also help beginners not to get addicted. Because it's actually a dangerous plan, to reach $1 million from $20. It can be addictive, I would say. I think that beginners should understand one simple thing: there's no way to create a plan that works surely in gambling. You can win by chance with any plan, but what will happen most likely is you lose everything if your plan implies betting all-in all the time.

Very good advice, as gamblers there are very different characters, yes, for gamblers who are addicted, they definitely find it difficult to be given good advice because they think they are the right one, even though they are given advice no matter how hard it is, the addict will still not obey, even just just ignore his advice.
Your steps are right, friend, yes, every gambler should have a bankroll when they want to gamble. By looking at that bankroll, we will know when it is time to stop gambling and in the casino we will not spend a lot of money because we can make good use of the bankroll.


It's true that only a few will be able to do it because it's true what you said, we are busy with our own work and we can't possibly focus optimally on what beginner gamblers have experienced. Therefore, as beginners, they should have seen and hear about experiences or bad luck that have been experienced by experienced gamblers and that is where beginners must be able to adjust the conditions and situations so that they are appropriate and do not pose a big risk for the beginner himself.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with gambling, especially if you don't do it often, of course if they become addicted to gambling, that's the problem. But if they become addicted to gambling, it is because of their own fault for their perception that the gambling they do is beyond normal limits. Now, if they can gamble appropriately or in other words, they can still control themselves, the gambling they do will be normal, apart from that, many of them become addicted to gambling in the hope of winning big. As much as possible we must prevent rather than cure.
But of course, sometimes those who are heavily addicted to gambling need other people to encourage them when they want to change their gambling habits. However, we know that those who are addicted to gambling certainly won't realize it easily, so the opportunity for them to become aware of their gambling is a big problem that could destroy them later.

One thing I know for sure, no one can help you more than you can help yourself. There is nothing wrong with gambling but, there is everything wrong with being gambling addict. Even some gambling site do ask of you, to gamble responsibly. That’s to say, you shouldn’t be addicted to gambling but even so, the gambling site don’t get to draw the lines for you. That’s up to you to decide where you can call enough!

Hence, for you to help someone in helping themselves, that addict needs to understand that he or she is actually addicted and this addiction isn’t helping. Let the addict come to terms with that and then, you could aid them to actually seeing a way out through gradual withdrawal to some safe gambling. Let them see the changes it brings and they might stick to a green gambling habit.

Trying to get someone interested in responsible gambling require lots of efforts. Including for the newbies. Some people don't have any experience in gambling despite their multiple years in the gambling world. This shows how little a helping hand for responsible gambling is in the niche. I think it'll be hard to reach out to the right ones who would listen to such a good method about setting up limitations on their device. Maybe get alert once the time exhaust. But, that wouldn't drag the player away from the slot machine. Expecially when the game tends to get better. People have their ways of responding to things and not everyone thinks they're doing the wrong thing at the right time. Some people gamble at the right time but fail to gain happiness afterwards.

The money is what gets people addicted in gambling. Money makes people excited. And excitement brought most people to gambling. Telling them about a method that doesn't guarantee winning enough money wouldn't interest the person. Because his source of joy and excitement could be driven from the wins in gambling. I think checking up on them while playing is the right method. But who does get the chance of policing a fellow gambler. Another problem of it is that non gamblers can't help in teaching new gamblers because they don't know much of these things. The only available help are also busy with their personal gambling journey. That's why it seems that newbies don't often get help from experienced players. Like a planned thing, all player must make the early mistakes of their gambling journey, if they had no helping hand.

Someone can still claim to understand everything you told them about gambling addiction and how to avoid it and still end up getting addicted when, at the end of the day, it happens. It's easier the way they say it than to keep to it. 
 
So for the start, even when they say they are good to go, it will be better and safer to be checking up on them and asking about how they have been able to manage their bankroll to be sure if they are still in the country or not. Nowadays,  it's very easy for newbie gamblers to get addicted due to the high level of lose-chasing they have conceived in their minds.

When people don't read instructions or don't care at all about them, I fear their only chance is to learn on practice by their own mistakes. Many of us here have already learned that way, so I think it's not bad at all, since you are able to get a valuable lesson from these experiences in the end.

It's just bad when the gambler commits mistakes and instead of learning something with them, he keeps commiting more and more mistakes, repeating patterns while expecting the results are going to be different.

We can understand mistakes from newbies or beginners, because it's part of the process of getting familiarized with an activity you never had any contact before, however, I really can't understand such mistakes from experienced gamblers as something natural, rather I see them as something pathological.

It's not that difficult to show pieces of evidence that gambling isn't a business where we could make money out of it. Most of the time we are losers in this industry.
Play the game for a while and you will see in your graph what I am talking about. The game summary. In 20k of bets, I can always see the house edge winning in most of my games. Therefore, I just think of it as a wagering game where you want to wager more increase your VIP rank, and maybe take advantage of the bonuses and raffles that a gambling site gives out. When it comes to hitting that biggest multiplier, it's not that easy. We will have to spend more money than what we will get. It's better if in those moments we could at least enjoy what we did than playing the game with the purpose of beating the house because that's impossible.
That truth will make a beginner think twice about spending too much.

Yes, it is a fact, but things should always be like this with a certain amount of confidence, or maybe it is that games of chance are made so that we lose control of our emcoins and our money to win more , it is simple, in the games of chance, in casinos, the player who had a high Financial culture always wins, because we have not seen a Warren Buffet, Kiyosaki, or even a Trump addicted to casinos, that does not happen because they are people who are clear about what they are made for It is gambling, and it is a fact that when they play, if they play at all, it is with very little money, because they know that it is money that they are losing.

the thing is that most of the people won't read instructions... the worst part of gambling is probably when it goes out of control and your habits outgrow your power of will
making you impotent on deciding what to do and unable to control yourself (stopping when you want to stop)

it's is possible to gamble responsibly but for some it'll be very hard...

Overall yes it is true that addiction is a situation where someone is very difficult to give advice even though the advice is actually for their own good, it is because they are very stubborn and already have a different mindset from normal people in addressing gambling, usually someone who is addicted always believes and believes that they will be able to get a big win in their gambling activities that can change their fate to become a rich man for example, and if you continue to advise them then there is a possibility that they will think that you are someone who is too interfering with other people's affairs or can also cause a split in the social relationship between you and the person.

This is one of the reasons why addiction is very difficult to cure, none other than because they have entered a chronic mindset that is too sure of winning in gambling, when it is clear that the more they gamble, the possibility of losing will be greater. And if you already feel tired in terms of giving advice to them then I think let it go because in the end they will also definitely realize that what they are doing is wrong, especially when someday they experience a significant downturn that makes them really feel traumatized.

There are always tips and advice that help gamblers to reduce their addiction to gambling, but to overcome addiction, gamblers need to have awareness and responsibility. Being a responsible gambler basically doesn't make you less addicted, it's just that being a responsible gambler doesn't have too much of an impact on the effects of addiction.

Addiction can be categorized into several phases from the lowest to the compulsive phase. In the early stages, it is not very difficult for gamblers to get rid of their addiction, but when they become compulsive gamblers, the effects of addiction will be very difficult to overcome without expert help or treatment.

Actually it doesn't  matter the amount of advice or knowledge acquired by a beginner before going into gambling. Is how they make use of those knowledge in their gambling sections. Because most individuals only have the knowledge but they don't apply it in their gambling sections. Like for instance an individual is aware that in gambling is either one win or lose , but still whenever they undergo some losses they usually lose it and start chasing after those losses , betting inorder to get what they have loss back . And such act is example of irresponsible gambling.

So what am trying to say is that, one should always apply what he or she have learned as a beginner in whatever they are doing either in gambling or in some other related areas.
