That's because of the greed of many people who want more results, so they don't share their gambling game budget. They feel that placing big bets on sports betting can get bigger profits compared to other gambling games, such as slot games. And usually, the losing gamblers will try to increase the stakes little by little because they think that if they win, they can get the winning money and recover their losses at the same time. And I agree that we have to divide the budget for gambling so that we don't lose all the money on that day, but we can use it to play gambling the next day or a few days later.

And why can't you divide the gaming budget in such a way that you don't lose everything for two bets, but have the opportunity to make several dozen bets? Risk management is something that depends entirely on the player. And after a losing bet, you should not increase the bet in order to try to win back the loss as quickly as possible, because on emotions you will definitely lose even more. The distribution of the budget is aimed at making you understand over the long distance what your trend is, whether you lose or win more.

Well addiction is a big case, be it drugs or gambling  addiction, and stopping  addiction is seen as a relatively  impossible mission and anyone embarking on stopping addiction should be ready for whatever they met doing so.
The first step  to resolving any issue is to first identify  the issue and same thing  applies to gambling  a
Addiction as the first step to stopping addiction is to first identify  that a person is an addict and the second step is to create a personal relationship  with the addict because from my observations, an addict always gets angry when referred to as an addict and possible distancing from anyone who sees them as an addict so what one should do is create a very close relationship  with the addict and from there, every other steps will fall in.

I'm not an addict and I haven't  dealt with anyone who boldly identifies as an addict.

I have seen many cases where people are very Affected by playing in a casino , either because they get a vice or Because they cannot control the idea of playing and not winning, that forces them to get money However they can to continue satisfying the need to play and play , Personally I think that the healthiest thing is for a person who has this problem to take care of themselves quickly, that is, to have a job that absorbs 100% of the day , and apart from the Carelessness they have or are in a Sport where your brain detaches from the need to play , that you don't have time left, that if you are the head of the family , that you have to work twice as hard to recover what you lost , something like this is my most immediate solution.

However, when there are problems of a very strong nature, such as addiction, you have to work very hard to be able to get results, but I have been told that the main thing is to keep the player's mind occupied, this to prevent his mental health It is allowed to generate, when there is an addiction, their self-esteem drops and it usually gets in a way that the player feels less about                                                                         , it should not be Like that, they have to get up and move on , we have to Start from the fact that we Make mistakes and that we must learn From that.

unless fate turns a person utterly destitute having nothing to gamble with.

well, everyone may have differences it's just that for me if someone who has tried to occupy himself with any activity to forget gambling, I think that is indeed the right way even if he returns to gambling he just comes to have fun without losing his large amount of money like previously. there is nothing wrong with someone who finds it difficult to stop gambling but in the end has a busy life or job so that in the end the schedule for gambling becomes less and only seeks luck with a minimal amount in spare time.

Rehabilitation can work well if there is awareness that he has a gambling addiction. But most gambling addicts will not realize they are already addicted to gambling. Therein lies the real problem that makes it difficult for people to help him because a gambling addict can hide his addiction well. They can pretend they are not having problems, but there are signs they are subconsciously showing.

Maybe after he reads the answers or opinions of the members here, he has the idea to get out of gambling or at least overcome his gambling addiction. If that happened, he should be able to quit gambling or reduce his gambling activities. We always support people who want to reduce their gambling activities or even stop gambling, especially if they don't have good control.

There are people who do really have that good self control and discipline on which they would really be able to stop immediately if they wanted to on even if they've been playing gambling for long time but

still they do really able to control theirselves that well on which its a must thing to do when you do deal up yourself with gambling. Gambling is for fun but people are really that going into a certain extent on which
they've been really treating up this thing to be that a source of income or trying out to be rich and this what makes them too desperate when it comes to this matter and this would
really be molding them up on being an addicted gambler which we know that once you do really go or comes into this point then it would really be that hard to get out
once you do get shackled.Enjoy the game and dont go into those certain extent then you should really be fine.

If it is for someone who never gambles, your suggestion can be applied. Bu for people who already become gamblers, how they can apply it. They already started gambling many times, even some people gamble for years.

It is true that recovering from addiction isn't an easy matter. Since gambling becomes the habits and we do it almost every day, it is very difficult to leave it. The case is not very different from the addiction of smoking, it is hard to leave because it is already a part of our daily routine. However, if someone has a big will or intention to stop, I'm sure recovering from addiction is very possible. We can get help from specialist/doctors if it is a severe addiction already. When it influences our healthy and psychologically, we can't recover it ourselves.

Definitely a wrong mindset to begin with and hopefully that kind of mindset will not be shared through his circles or given as advice as it can lead them into a wrong path.

Folks, as long as we are still alive, we also have the chance to change our life because all the situations we have, may it rough or smooth, is certainly a temporary thing. Having that kind of mindset is just the very same thing as you already given up before you even tried and besides, everything has a start, just like how you learned and started your gambling journey.

This gambling addiction of a thing eat you up mentally, physically and psychologically. You just can’t help it when you’re addicted to it. It is like a water that if not taken you won’t be able to survive for a long period of time. It is better you don’t start, than to start and can’t control yourself until the addiction eats you up.

There’s a general saying that it is harder to build than to destroy, but in the case of gambling it is easier to build than to destroy that addiction in you. No matter what one does and engage in, he/she should set limits and try not to exceed the limit, if not, if it escalates, the repercussions is always unbearable and can lead to other damages of the human system.

Absolutely. it is always a matter of how gambling is affecting your life. If it does things for you positively like giving side income or your main income that could support your daily living, if gambling helps you network with rich people, if it makes you express yourself, or locate your character flaws to improve then it doesn't make sense to stop gambling. If you're profitable why would you do that?

There is just a great deal of misinterpretation that GAMBLING alone is bad. I would say no, gambling creates wealth in a fast way. It is addictive gambling relative to that person that cannot control themselves and their own impulses that is bad. Many people created wealth from gambling, and those are the 5% of the participants who overcome themselves and have discipline. They don't make gambling their master. Gambling serves them well.

I doubt that you can get a 100% way to stop gambling since you are asking this question in gambling board and most of all people here are still participating on gambling events. Also maybe you can only get a answer base on their opinion only with no basis attached.


Those already been addicted cannot decide for theirselves and its better for them to rehabilitate since this is this is their immediate need yo get out on situation where he can't control his emotions.

That's really bad if someone have such mind.

There are many ways to earn money, it's not only through gambling. Currently people are just lazy to learn a new thing that can boost them to get a better job or higher position.

You're wrong if there's no substitute to get rich and play games except gambling, you can become a pro player in a competitive game, if you joined a big team, you will get monthly salary and bonus for win.

If you are after money then it will be difficult for you to stop gambling, and most people now are just gambling to make money, most youth in my society are trying to make gambling source of income that's why gambling addiction is increasing currently, different gambling site are being created on a daily basics, if they are not making their money, then more of those gambling site wont have being created.

I see one of the most difficult thing to stop is gambling addiction, when you are a gambler, just trying your possible best not to be addicted, because you might be thinking you will stop gambling whenever you want, but it might not be easy for you when you want to stop, some addicted gamblers are still claiming they are not addicted, but from their behavior you will know that they are addicted to gambling.

What is important is the awareness of ourselves who really want to stop gambling. If we have it, we intend to stop gambling and try it. Even if we don't succeed at the beginning, we will keep trying until we succeed and finally, we can definitely stop. But for those already addicted to gambling, it will not be easy because they have to restrain themselves and maybe they need help from others to stop. Their minds cannot forget gambling, especially if they have lost many times. There must be a feeling of wanting to recover from that loss, which is normal, but we must still try to stop for our own good.

Actually keeping themselves busy with regular work plus side jobs and with this they may have little or no time for gambling, as they also need to rest or do something else.
and in this way you can only reduce gambling activities because time is very tight for other activities or needs, especially during breaks due to fatigue, and maybe only gambling during holidays from work and free time. And with this slowly, if you really intend to be serious, I think you can stop gambling because of time and people who often gamble because they have a lot of alone time or have no activities, work or other things.

and after you have done everything that I mentioned above, there is one more thing that will make you really have to stop because you have long thoughts and also have a love of money to gamble. Because you would think less money would be better for your kids and wife because they really need money, and many gamblers quit because of that statement. And the words that impressed them were, if I lose, what will my wife and children eat. Because learning from experience becomes a long thought and only looking for sure money by working or in any way to get lawful money.

I understand why some gamblers get hard stopping their gambling habits because they can't move on and forget their losses as they want to get them back. It has to be noted that gambling sites or casinos are growing too fast and this is because the demand is increasing.
But if we really have the goal to stop gambling, it is possible unless, if we do nothing to help it. No matter what we say or hear suggestion but if we are not serious about our target, it only fails.

It's too hard to get your attarction diverted from gambling. Why ?
Because there are no programs that can make you rich and play games while earning money at the same time. I have seen people who try to make themselves busy in other things , try to find the other hobbies but in the end they revert back to gambling because there is nothing like gambling. There is no substitute for gambling.

At least you have something to get your attention diverted, that is what most gambling addicts lack, they don't have anything else to pay attention to, that is the basic reason why one becomes addicted to gambling because they don't have much to do or they stop doing other things only for gambling which then becomes a problem and even if they want to do other things, they can't because the urge to gamble doesn't let them stop and go.

You are right that it takes time and courage to conquer this, if someone who is addicted to gambling has someone very close to them assisting them in this, they can do it more quickly because their close ones know what you like to do and they can make you do that along with them.

In our world of nowadays that is very difficult to achieve as we are "besieged" by those activities that draw us into gambling.We can set a budget yes but this only works to slot machines based on my experience as there you can play long enough even with a small budget and call it a day after you lose this budget while in sport betting you can say to yourself how come I lost all balance in just 2 bets that I made,I did not enjoy this at all and you go and put more money into it trying to get the next bet.Both are very dangerous activities to people who lack self discipline and patience as they are the most common victims of this.I agree with you staying away a few months removes that hidden desire to keep gambling.
