Topic: How to control this ? (Read 498 times)

They gamble with money that is not intended for gambling because they decided to start chasing their losses, in order for you not to be a careless gambler you shouldn't bet with more than 5 percent of your income and if you feel the urge to gamble after losing that 5 percent don't give in to the feeling, you must be learn to exercise self control. Chasing your losses can make you addicted to gambling and it can also make you bankrupt. My advice to people that can't control their emotions is to stay away from gambling totally. The solution to this is just to restrict yourself

• Respecting money
• Prioritizing more important needs.
• Love your family.

The 3 things I said might make more sense for a gambler to maintain his own mentality without having to become an addict or gamble continuously spending money and making trouble for himself.
Respecting money, of course everyone can get money in any way. However, it is not easy for everyone to appreciate the money they have even if it is only $0.1. If a gambler can appreciate his money, he will definitely only gamble using small amounts of money.

Prioritizing more important needs such as economic needs or the need to give money to his wife or children which is the main priority. With this, a gambler will always prioritize his family members.

And finally, loving family is the key to all problems. When we have a very close relationship with our family, of course we will never have the intention to make trouble for our family by gambling excessively and only betting when we have little money left.

Some gamblers think that if they want to quit gambling, they can do it on an instant. Nope, that's not possible because there will be a process on how to get rid of addiction and that's going to take time and patience of every gamblers that are wanting to do it. While the others whom can control their emotions and themselves can easily do this based on the experiences that they've got before. So, self control is a must and the admission that you're an addicted gambler. You can't quit addiction if you're not admitting to yourself that you're an addicted gambler.

And that's why acceptance is the first step that one has to do. Next is to gradually avoid any additional bets, keep on going with the process and bet if you can but don't add more amounts and let the set budget and bankroll you have to be gone if you're not lucky within the day. Later on, your appetite with gambling is going to decrease because you think that you're not lucky enough and you're spending money that you should have spent it in other things. The encouragement will be gone on you and that's how you're going to start losing grip with gambling as the day passes by until you're able to overcome your own gambling addiction.

In any case if you experience a problem then the first thing you should do is eliminate the cause or trigger that caused the problem, meaning in addiction problems the main thing you should focus on is not solving the impact but overcoming the trigger, you need to change and correct your perspective on gambling first such as eliminating the idea that gambling can give you a lot of money.

And the second is you can try some of the ways that I have done that made me successfully recover from addiction such as deleting or blocking anything that can connect you to gambling, if you are involved in an online casino then you can delete or block your personal account from your local bank, another thing you have to research the email and google account attached to your smartphone to avoid various gambling promotions and the last is you have to create distance between you and your gambling environment such as with some fellow gamblers that you know, for me some of these ways work and you can try them, my friend.

The reason why I think some gamblers get so addicted to gambling is that they lack the ability to stop gambling when they are supposed to stop. If you are a gambler and you have a gambling budget, after losing the amount, the best thing to do is just to stop gambling for that time, don’t even try to deposit more just because you want to win back your loss, because you might end up losing more, which is just like you adding to your problem. As a gambler, always have a gambling budget and don’t always exceed it.

If you really want to stop gambling, then you don’t even have to go through all those processes, doing that is just like deceiving yourself, because if you really want to keep on gambling, it’s easy to go back to it.

Firstly, you should have the mindset that you want to stop gambling or reduce the amount you spend on gambling (having a gambling budget and never exceeding it). Make sure you always keep yourself busy, don’t spend so much time alone because you get bored and will end up going back to gambling.

Gambling addiction can’t be resisted for most people but what we fail to understand is the casino is never responsible or they can never stop any activity it’s left for an addicted gambler to apply self control when gambling. If we should start saying the casino should implement a regulation rule we’re trying to say they should make limited amount of money because the more we gamble the casino also gain something.

It’s so simple at the early stage when a person is not yet addicted, people get addicted because they play often and I think gambling addiction is more popular as we discuss this often. Everyone will give a different opinion but what’s more important is getting a serious activity, I always talk about self control when gambling and I also think anyone occupied with work activity etc will have lesser chance gambling and it’s better if an addict gamble once in awhile due to work gradually anyone can lose interest. All this depends on the gambler if they’re willing to change and gamble responsible besides gambling is good, what’s bad is when people intend to abuse gambling habit.

The solution has never been and will never be self exclusion from the casino, because this could only prove to be effective for a few days before you delve delve back to that casino or even a different one and it’s business as usual. Support from family and close relatives can be be quite an effective strategy to get ride of gambling addiction but the solution can never be solely dependent on just that alone. You’re totally right that fighting addiction starts first with the gambler being able to exercise self control and being able to manage his unusual urges to gamble, of course we know this is often the most difficult step for an addicted gambler to take, especially when the addiction has eaten so deeply into them that their families even get involved. But yes, if they can actually learn to control themselves, then they’re good to go.

That's true, at some point you need to seek help.

There are various levels of addiction and if you're strong mentally and not very deep in this, meaning that you haven't been an addict for years but just recently lost to much and felt like it's time to let go, you can make it on your own. Those who aren't so fortunate should tell friends and family about it and seek advice from people who were in similar situation.

One thing that might help is blocking your bank account and/or giving someone trusted complete control and allowing them to pay bills and buy food for a while.

Totally depends on how you think and on how you do treat gambling because if you do really believe that this thing could make you rich then it will really be that something that brings out demise into your life because you've been expecting too positive about such approach when it comes into this aspect. If you do find yourself having such kind of hopes and insights then it will really be that making you desperate and this is something which isnt really that recommended because having this kind of mindset will really be that pushing you out into your limits and could cause up that extreme spending
of money because you've been trying out to achieve on what you do have in mind on which this is really that too negative on this aspect.

the trick with deleting or blocking an account will not help, this is 100%. Only a psychologist or friends will help if you have them, of course, a complete detox from gadgets will also be a good option, leave yourself a phone only for calls without going online and distract yourself with something else that will not remind you of the games. I had a friend in the company who was in a similar situation. If there is a problem, it needs to be solved as radically as possible and the faster the better, so as not to leave time for doubts and attempts to win back again. In this case, it is better to end the games forever.

Yes, sometimes I do that method, I empty my digital wallet, if I have some, then I try to pay some of debts, like credit card and will just left some money, just small amounts of it for playing. And for casino funds that I have left, same thing, I will just go and put some stake on sports that I followed, and then withdraw everything so that I will not be tempted to gamble for more.

It's really hard though, most of the time I will be thinking of wanting to play, but I really need to control myself and not to think about gambling. So I will just go and talk to my family and friends so that I will stay away from gambling. So the key here is balancing, yeah we can play, but there should be other focus in our lives, maybe a hobby or any social activity that don't involved gambling.

Yes, your opinion is also right, trying to change the perception of gambling bringing luck in our lives is a right action because after all gambling is basically a lucky activity that everyone who enters the activity environment cannot guess their luck. So if we want to control the gambling game that we are running, one of them is to limit and control ourselves properly and correctly, just think of us playing gambling just for fun, not expecting a victory that we are not sure we can get easily.

On the moment or time that you do find yourself dealing up with gambling then you should really be that definitely be wary about on the possible things that you might be able to encounter on which this is something
that you couuld really be able to make yourself having that kind of control and discipline for whatever things that do happen. The most common problem on here when it comes into this scenario is that gamblers
do really become that impulsive specially on the moment or time that their capital had busted out. Even lets say that they are really just that making use of the money on which they can afford to lose but
its something that wont really be a guarantee thing that you will really be able to have such good control when it comes into your betting or gambling behavior.

How to control it out? You are the ones that will be able to do so. If you are someone whose really that too greedy when it comes to gambling then its unlikely that you will be able to make yourself
to have such control and you would really be definitely be playing again and again as long you do have the money. Everything would really be that in accordance into someones mind or brain
because if you do really mean out on not to gamble or stopping midway or on the moment you do lose then this wont really be that a huge issue.

As far as I am concerned, I will leave gambling and as much as possible to distract myself from gambling and create or try to have other activities that allow me to forget about gambling no matter what. In that way and at the same time, at least we can make or collect capital again to gamble in the future. Because anyway, when I gamble and have lost all the money that I was ready to lose in gambling but if I find it difficult to stop, then I also use the savings money that was not going to be involved in gambling in the first place. Thus, when I have lost my money to gambling, then as much as possible I stop and will return to gambling when I have enough bankroll.

It's all in the mind. Why do you want to gamble at first place should be the question you should be asking to yourself.
If the answer is for fun you can continue but if it is for making money then you need reconsider the fact that gambling is not meant for making money.
That's why I am saying that it's all in the mind. You need to keep your mind strong and only gamble for fun and entertainment.
When you are gambling for fun you need a strong self control to not let yourself go over the budget.
You need to keep your mind strong and let yourself only gamble within the budget.
This is the only way to stay on track while gambling.

With self-control it's still not easy to get rid of addiction in gambling. Still, it doesn't stop an addicted gambler to not try controlling his actions so that he won't get entirely uncontrollable. To have self-control it takes discipline and help from other individuals who are more concerned about a gambler, addiction problem.

Taking those measures, you mentioned for a long period of time can make the gambler abstain from addiction. It may seem temporally to some persons but with time it might get into the gambler that makes him forget about his gambling addicts. I think that is the reason why most persons are sent to rehab to stop addictions if there is a place for addicted gambler then they should send there.

maybe change the way we think, that gambling is not for profit, besides that I also often empty my digital wallet balance, so I save cash, when I am in the game I have no more balance to play, and that's what makes me stop, there are many ways to control it but it is difficult to do it

It is true, except for self-control, willpower there is nothing. If we cannot understand this and just do it, then nothing will help us. I had an experience before that I always wanted to win more, until one day I lost more than I should have, after that I do not want to repeat it again. Maybe I learn quickly, or maybe it is something else, it is difficult for me to say. Oh yes, over time I began to treat money differently, more philosophically, this was not the case before. I became more interested in learning the meaning itself, because I realized that this is the first thing, and money is only secondary, only in this way do they begin not to lose more than they should.

That's true, majority of gamblers fall to this category
But we just need to be careful on how to control our gambling habit otherwise we will end up over spending above our discretion. I have been in a situation where I deposit some amount I needed for gambling from my bank account to my betting app, after usage I still deposited continuously till i almost emptied my account. So i have learnt to control my habits.

Blocking your casino may not be the best option, but it is advisable we control our habit of spending above our desired amount. We can decide to deposit a certain amount of our choice to the casino app and bet. After using that amount we should exercise patient till the end of the week before adding fund again to the casino app for betting, atleast this will be helpful.

The key is self-control, there is no better solution to addiction than self-control. Whether you exclude yourself, block your account, take medication, and other solutions, it is only temporary, if you can't control yourself to gamble, then whatever you do is in vain. That's why from the beginning a gambler must learn to be able to control themselves and restrain themselves from playing more than they can, because by getting used to good habits like that, it will greatly help them prevent gambling addiction.
