I really have loads of sympathy for people who wants to stop gambling, because people are bombarded with online gambling related advertisements on all platforms. I counted the gambling advertisements on television the other day... and I nearly fell off my chair, when I saw how much advertisements are shown in 1 hour.  Roll Eyes

Then people go online and they get bombarded with gambling advertisements on their phone / laptop / iPad etc... etc.. it is just crazy how much money are paid to advertise gambling content.  Roll Eyes

I don't know but I believed without proper hard work its going to be very hard to turn a 100$ buck to a thousands by just reading books of gurus and most definitely not an expectations from winning big in gambling. Gambling is an habit that should be enjoyed by placing bet on your favourite team or events just for pleasure purpose and nothing else.
Multiple our money through sports betting will require a deep analysis. I don't even think if people will try to gamble their money into the team that they didn't know about. that sounds non sense to happen but it's different when we are playing slots as our luck will be determining the result from what we have gamble with. I don't even think if playing slot will be requiring a hardwork like when someone was identifying the potential club to win the game in the sport betting.
Sports betting and slots are very different, and we must have luck in slot games. Meanwhile, apart from luck in sports betting, we also have to do an in-depth analysis to find which team or player has a bigger chance of winning than their opponent.

So maybe people can make money on sports betting but they need to have the ability to analyze the game. That way, they can find the right team to win the game. But not many can make much money on sports betting because it takes a lot to find the right team.

Individuals who are addicted to gambling or have a gambling problem are like that because they see gambling as one of the ways to make money. To turn $100 to $1000. This is the underlying cause. When you compare the people are are addicted to gambling and those who are not, you will find out that the later have a different perspective about gambling. To quit gambling you need a change of perspective. Start following financial gurus, start reading their books. That way you will be able to turn $100 to $1000 and then to $10000. It is as simple as that. Like they have said, what you focus on grows.

Add to that luck that is also a very huge deciding factor on your streak in gambling that can make or break your profit. It's a very tricky element of gambling that not everyone will ever have at a given time. Even if you have all the strategies at your disposal, you will still need luck to get through and win something that is worth your time and your effort.

If you're looking to gamble, just don't expect to always win. Have fun and maybe that's it.

You do not actually need to stop gambling since it's just for fun and entertainment for most people you could still occasionally gamble have bets etc, then maybe win or lose what so ever it wasn't really bad to gamble sometimes, you just need to put a limitation on it know when to stop, also have the discipline that you need in order to gamble responsibly.

In my opinion, it was just a matter of commitment, you could easily overpower your addict if you really want to, I just think that this addict let themself become a gambling addict, or should I say they were just greedy for winning and putting every time on luck gambling all of their money just to win. If you really want to get or have money if gambling really the way? It is not the way, right? this is just for lazy people, Players don't really see gambling as a way or shortcut to getting rich or a source of income.

Not every gambler can handle rejection and losses, some gamblers actually need to be stopped or stop on their own, I hope you know that when they say gambling is a probability of certainty, despite when some people used to win plenty of times and losses few, there are gamblers on the other end that win few and loss many, there is no how these people wouldn't be mad at some point if they continue playing with the hope that they will make it back some days, there are some players that can even go mad and do something extraordinary just as we have seen on this board of 22 years old student that committed suicide.
Very much agree with you, and by the way, committing suicide is not an extraordinary something,  but a crazy thing to do, like I've always said, stopping gambling is easy if only the gambler is not addicted, for those who are already hooked, it is just as you have said, they either need to stop themselves, or need to be stopped, but unfortunately, I've discovered that most gambling addicts are introverts find it had to relate with the outside world, for such kind of people, it is hard to know what they are going through and how to help them, except you are really close to such a person.

A gambler must make loses, that is a sure thing, and sometimes, such loses might be extreme, and this is why we are always advised to only gamble with as much as we can afford to loose, if only will learn to always keep to this rule, there wouldn't be any problems, and even if there was, it wouldn't be much.
Crazy thing indeed knowing that in every problem does have that kind of solution on which taking up some suicide is never been that ideal.It is really just that there are people who arent really that good when it comes to decision making but rather they would really be tolerating their addiction towards gambling which is something that needs to be avoided in the first place. Gambling is for fun and its really just that normal that you would really be spending money into it and dont consider that you would really be winning money on the time that you would really be dealing with it.

Mr.suevie what books can we read that will turn 100 bulk into $1k or even more this must be some form of miracle books that make money grow like grass,  and just Asalastantiger stated, there is no way to earn such an amount constantly with hard work and indeed, nothing works unless we make it work and so since money doesn't grow on trees or there is free money anywhere one need to put in a lot of efforts in making that extra bulk and sometimes you can not be consistent in the amount you make daily even in business.

Chasing constant winning in gambling have its underline challenges possibly addiction is the most mentioned among those challenges, so at that one must treat it with optimism and clear guidance to avoid the worst case from happening.

^That is a good perspective when it comes to gambling activity.
It should be gambling is primarily based on chance, and the odds are usually stacked against the player. Relying on gambling as a means to make money can lead to financial difficulties and potential addiction. It is advisable to approach gambling as a form of entertainment, where the main purpose is to enjoy the activity itself rather than expecting financial gains.
Instead of relying on gambling or quick-fix solutions, I think it is generally more productive to focus on developing solid financial habits, such as budgeting, saving, and investing in legitimate and sustainable ways gambling should be if there is an extra fund for fun.
Just make use of your own common sense and realistic approach when it comes to things around or in regarding with your actions on which it would really be that sensible if you do things which would really be beneficial into your life instead on being destructive. Who does really like on having a life on having a financial struggle? None right and this is where it is really just that right that you should be wise on taking decisions whether it would really be leading up that way or not.

If you dont like to experience some financial hardships or struggles then you should really gamble in moderate manner and having that treatment that gambling is really just that
for fun and not for income stream. There are really just that people who cant really be able to determine which one is really that good and which one is really that bad.

Gambling brings so much joy especially when you're on the winning side, when things are all in your favor it just seems like you should never stop. But when it gets bad, you look for a way to pour out your anger, either on someone or on something.
When someone is addicted to gambling I feel it's worst than one who's addicted to drugs.

So much has been said about betting companies regarding how they should be responsible in helping those who are addicted to gambling, although is really hard to do so on there own path because gamblers can't be monitored.
I don't know if booking an appointment with a therapist would help or is something you as a gambler who wants out should do on your own.

The question is if you're a gambler or have someone who is, what's the best way to help out. And what's your story on escaping that addiction (gambling)...

How do you fight this battle?

Perhaps some of my posts would help to verify the line of thinking that I maintain around this topic, which abounds in the forum, the addict is a patient who reveals his weaknesses in situations like gambling, but regardless of whether you are or not, he always mentioned that the The best bet you can make is to pay for an appointment with a psychologist.

One reason might be due to the fact that they believe they can turn their little capital into a huge amount of they continue trying their luck but they are some who got addicted due to frustration (as stated by another user ) and for a case where money wasn't the cause of the addiction this your suggestion won't work, they are some people that are currently addicted to gambling and yet they are not aware of it or perhaps they keep reassuring their self that they are not.

Most of those books by those self proclaimed financial gurus most times does not contain the information you need, it's better to read books on human nature, how to develop your self not only in financial aspect but other aspect as a whole.
Not might, but it is really the reason why many gamblers are at risk. The idea of becoming rich in a short period of time than working as an employee, gives drive to the gamblers to continue until they reach such goal. Problem is not all gamblers are succeeding; if we would base on the ratio between those who won big time and those who have lost huge amount of money, I think it would be one in a million. And this reality is still being disregarded by gamblers.

In order to stop, acceptance would be the first thing to do. Accepting the fact that it is more likely to lose than to win is a huge step forward stopping this habit. Next is limiting oneself from playing little by little. Adding another hobby to occupy one's time gambling, would be also necessary. Lastly, do not be too dependent on your fate. It is us who are responsible for the life we would be having therefore, avoid engaging to risky things.

When someone is addicted to gambling I feel it's worst than one who's addicted to drugs.

All addictions are harmful. In my opinion, being addicted to either gambling or drugs is a bad situation that can be controlled. However, being addicted to drugs is worse than being addicted to gambling because drug addiction can cause you to do other bad things like waste your money on gambling, stealing, and other things, whereas someone who is only addicted to gambling can only think about getting money and gambling.
You may be surprised to learn that some people spend more than ten times as much money on drugs as they do on gambling.


The question is if you're a gambler or have someone who is, what's the best way to help out. And what's your story on escaping that addiction (gambling)...


The best approach is to help them realize that what they are doing will not improve their lives in any way but will only serve to worsen them. You can do this by giving an example of a gambler who has become addicted to gambling so that they can see how their life is affected. I believe that as a result, they will start to think about themselves and stop gambling excessively.

Gambling is not a place to make money so this mindset should be changed because it will not make people rich because of playing gambling, that is why people find it difficult to stop playing gambling when they should stop for example when getting a big win, but they continue the game to finish and In the end losing a lot of money in the game.

Playing gambling must be prepared to lose consciously also have to play with money ready to lose it, so when playing better does not have to be serious and play to have fun just will not make us become addicts and can stop when we want of course that is the mindset What must be instilled and never expect to double money by gambling from $ 100 to $ 1000, it will be difficult.  Wink

If you have said this, it's mean you know who are those financial gurus and their books. Show me who're them and what are their books? this would be interesting as you said just follow financial guru and stay on focus, you will able to turn $100 to $1000.

I believe that's just a bullshit, there's no such follow financial guru and stay focus in gambling because gambling is definitely will make you lose your money.

hmph..
Having another hobby that can replace gambling is the solution that also helped me. It's easy to do it once, and then the real challenge is doing it repeatedly since they need to have that kind of tenacity before they can stop their addiction for good.



Online gambling makes everything easy in just 1 click. Other people who have a new hobby may only focus during the day, but before going to bed, someone will probably open their phone and reopen the gambling site they are trying to get rid of. This happens to a lot of peole, even to myself at the beginning to stop. Unless he closes access to finances or leaves his cell phone will stop gambling faster. limiting myself to using my phone during breaks and not limiting myself to hanging out with family and friends every day is works for me. In the end, everyone has a different way. Grin
