Topic: How can we help beginners not to get addicted - page 8. (Read 4088 times)

You are right that it is very difficult to get someone addicted to gambling back or to provide them with any advice. Over addiction began to damage his mental health a lot and then he fell into gambling addiction. His addiction may be for extra gain or extra loss. However, his close friends should take the leading role in this case to withdraw from addiction.

How many of us can do that if someone can show newbies with evidence of the evils of tides so they can take precautions from the start?  We ourselves are busy with our own work and it is natural that everyone is busy with his own work and if he gets some free time he likes to do entertainment in various ways, a part of which may be gambling, watching movies, watching sports etc. But if someone chooses gambling as a profession or tries to choose it as a source of income, they must face many pitfalls. Therefore, from the beginning of gambling, it is possible to protect only if one can show someone with evidence the bad aspects of gambling

Do not be stubborn that the advice of the closest person is very important for us to prevent excessive ugliness, so never consider yourself the most righteous.
That in gambling sometimes has a high emotional sense when you lose and you deposit back to play hoping to recover again but that is a sign that the addiction has begun to get out of control.

I always set a bankroll for gambling so that there is a limit when it runs out then stop and take a break once finances recover then you can go back to gambling for the fun of it.

That's right, for beginners they should be able to realize that they can learn valuable lessons from the bad experiences experienced by experienced gamblers and they should stay away from these bad behaviors as much as possible.
And I agree with you, if we receive good advice from other people and we can do it then we will not experience a big impact in gambling and we will also prevent addictive behavior as a result of excessive gambling.

True, I agree with your point that everything is mixed in the brain, sometimes it's really hard to ignore emotions because they keep pressuring our brains to do various things that can cause a sense of satisfaction, so maybe because of this people sometimes lose consciousness and instead express their emotions blindly just to find satisfaction, such as taking risks that are far greater than they can be responsible for.

And this is also the reason why self-control becomes very difficult to do, on the other hand I am sure that there are some of them who understand that emotions can make everything messy and make them experience worse things, but they have a low level of patience in themselves so it is difficult to completely ignore the feelings of emotion that are in themselves so that various out of control things happen.

It's true, when they become addicted to gambling, it will be difficult for them to accept advice from other people, even from their family, because they will only focus on what they want and by continuing to gamble, they won't be able to improve the situation even though there is a chance to do so. win but there is very little chance of getting a win at gambling, especially with a big win which is almost impossible to get if they don't have luck at gambling.

and I think that those who are addicted don't want to be advised because they still have high egos so they don't want to listen to other people's words, doing what they think is right by gambling, for example, even though they only get losses and defeats, they still do it because they are already addicted to gambling so that there is nothing that can make them stop gambling other than themselves realizing that the gambling they are doing is too excessive.

If they themselves can be aware that the gambling they do can make them addicted and suffer losses then it is possible that they can stop or at least be able to restrain themselves from gambling excessively because they know that if they gamble excessively it will not be profitable. them in the future. by learning from mistakes, they can happen if they are aware of themselves, because we know that someone who has gambled and has been consumed by the word winning will usually not easily realize it, they will continue to chase the victory they want.
On the other hand, for those who cannot learn from their mistakes, they will never realize that the gambling they do can cause them to suffer losses. This is very unfortunate, but indeed everyone has their own thoughts, so it is not surprising that many of them are addicted to gambling because they want to gain money. victory. It's true what you said, one of the keys is limits, we must be able to have certain limits and must set them so as not to engage in excessive gambling which can clearly have a negative impact on our finances.

What you say is very true, there are no tips that can prevent us from being addicted to gambling and for some people who can learn from their mistakes they will certainly be able to stop gambling after they realize they have spent money on things they don't really need, but for some people who cannot learn from the mistakes they make in gambling will of course continue to gamble until they have a lot of problems, especially in financial terms because they spend a lot of money on their gambling habits, so I think in this case it would be better for us to continue to have limits when gambling so that we don't experience things we don't want.

And top of that, there's no pure logic in our brain, as everything is always mixed with emotions. They aren't substituting anything, because they literally are made by our brain and part of how our brain operates and makes decisions. That "self control" comes from our limbic system can keep those emotions in check so we can take a breath and evaluate situation before acting, but we are not supposed to ignore the feelings as some sort of negative thing. They are really helpful tool to us when used with reason. And part of fun why we are gambiing in the first place.

This is the ideal, what happens is that many find it very difficult to follow these conditions, because without realizing it sometimes self-control fails, especially when you are a novice, because it is very easy to get carried away by the things that are there. more useful, such as to win money, if a novice plays out of necessity, the danger is greater, because he will play with pressure, with stress and with the obligation to win, otherwise things will get worse, so we have to be aware of what is happening to us. is happening when we are putting money in, that is why it is better to only control the money, rather than the emotions, since emotions are something natural, but money is our fault if it is lost more than normal.

Even if someone is really just that starting, it wont really be just that right that you would really be telling them about on how things should be done. We do know that not all people would really be that directly be playing just because they do hope on getting rich with gambling. There are still those people who are really just that playing for fun. You would really be seeing yourself that being awkward
if you are telling someone on how they should gonna be spending up their money on which we know that its not really just that right on telling someone on what are the things that they would be doing but if this someone is really that your friend or close to you then it wont really be that a bad idea on telling them about those warnings about gambling addiction.

It is really that hard on making someone to be that mindful about their gambling dealing or engagement because people do have different minds or approach towards it.
Addiction could neither be severe or not basing up on whats their taking about gambling.

It's hard to control or remind anymore someone that's already addicted. We can tell them to do what they have to do as a guide for them but it won't be possible for them to follow as soon as they've hear it from us. There's also an ego matters on this one when they can no longer listen to the others because they're already addicted. The pride is there and their ears are already closed because one thing for them is to only chase their losses or if they're not in losses, they'd keep up with their potential profits and will continue to do so.

Yes, that's the main point that most gamblers should understand that losing will always be something that they will experience at any time when they are away from luck. On the other hand I think learning from defeat depends on what type of game you are playing, if you play on a pure type of game that only relies on luck such as slots or crash games then I think you can never minimize the possibility of losing by just improving the strategy, because only luck can bring you victory. But if for example you play on the type of sports betting that can indeed be done by applying strategy or skill then yes maybe you can improve your strategy to avoid losing streaks. But I think in the end the most important thing is not to gamble too often if you want to avoid losing streaks.

Of course and I think what I said earlier makes a lot of sense about rich people only using gambling as a means of entertainment, because they already have a surefire way that makes them successful in becoming rich people. The rich don't experience any pressure in terms of financial life while the poor are obviously always experiencing financial problems where their income is not enough to meet their needs so it is quite reasonable to suspect that when they find a place that has a chance of winning then there is a high probability for them to make it a place to earn without considering the possibility of risks that can never be tolerated.

Yes, with those who experience a lot of problems like you said, losing a lot of money, destroying family relationships and so on, this is probably caused by them themselves not being able to accept losing when they gamble. By not being able to accept defeat, this will motivate them to continue gambling in order to get the win they want, but instead of getting the win they want, it actually causes them to experience a lot of life problems. It's true what you said, accepting defeat is the perspective. If we don't worry about the losses that occur, there will be no feeling of wanting to gamble anymore or the feeling of wanting to chase losses, because it is not recommended to chase losses in gambling. When you lose the gambling you should stop and leave.

I hope that beginners can see the many cases of bad effects that occur due to excessive gambling, by seeing and being aware of this, maybe they will not gamble excessively, such as by being obsessed with getting a win that is impossible to get according to what they want. . We must be able to play gambling, don't let gambling play us. Indeed, excessive gambling is a trigger for addiction and greater losses. If the advice is given, it is definitely done by those closest to them, but the control is entirely within themselves, if they still insist on winning at gambling then the advice they get will probably be simply ignored.

Gamblers usually have self-confidence and believe they can predict gambling movements and can win, but this is of course not a complete guarantee. with beginners, they usually have a greater sense of self-confidence where they are completely confident that they can win by gambling, by starting with a little capital and going home with full pockets, that is what gamblers hope for, including beginners who usually only think about Just winning without thinking about the losses that will definitely occur because there is a host behind the gambling can make them always experience defeat.
What you say is correct, whatever we do must be the right decision, whether we lose or win in the end, but what is clear is that we must not take the wrong action, which can cause us to experience losses, although losing at gambling cannot be avoided but with greater losses. Big things can still be avoided and the control is within us.

One of the most important thing In gambling is ti understand it and know some gambling instructions and this will make you know the good part and bad part of the gambling and to even understand how to predict very well, it will help that record lower losses than  winning, and it how to suppose to be, not everytime you gamble, what ever you do should be the right decision

I've already commented a lot on this forum about the importance of people being happy and having many sources of entertainment to occupy most of their time every day because only in this way can people avoid having addictions, when people have many problems that they are unable to deal with. with them, people's tendency to look for ways that allow them to forget about the problems they have and most of the time these people find the worst ways to forget about their problems, I found a good article that talks about some ways for people to prevent addiction

There are 5 good points mentioned in this article, but I highlighted point number 4 because I think it is a point where most people, when they are having problems, tell their family and friends about these problems and they are not taken seriously or they are the ones themselves. relatives and friends condemn you, criticize you a lot, it makes people isolate themselves and intensify their consumption of alcohol, drugs or spend many hours playing games to forget about their problems because there is no one else to listen to them and help them.

oh, for sure
the more I live the more I see that life is single player, in the sense that you should only compare with yourself yesterday, not with other people.
if someone is prone to getting addicted easily the best thing they can do is to avoid the object of addiction and searchg healthier things to do...

beginners who are new to gambling mostly gamble with the thought that they can earn a lot of money from gambling and they dream of changing their lives from it. for this reason why many of them do not accept their losses, and tend to chase their losses because they believe that in the next session they can turn over their capital/get more money, but instead what happens is that they lose more money than they should.

they should learn more from other people's experiences and try as much as possible to prevent themselves from overdoing their gambling. because by learning to control yourself and as much as possible not to get involved in excessive gambling, a gambler will avoid the potential of becoming a gambling addict.

I do not think that there are tips that will help absolutely all beginners do not become gambling addicts. Firstly because most people learn only from their mistakes, and secondly because each of us has its own psycho-emotional state and predispositions that can be transmitted at the genetic level. Someone can gamble all his life, spending any money and eventually easily quit gambling, and someone becomes gambling addicted after a few gambling sessions and can not stop until he spends all the money.
