Topic: How to control this ? (Read 359 times)

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.

Though, getting rid of a gambling addiction is not always an easy to do task, but with the help of a proper rehabilitation therapy and intervention of an expert guiding you through the process, I'm sure it's very possible for one to get rid of this menace called "gambling addiction". However, for an addiction recovery to be successful, the sole individual in question needs to be willing and ready to stop gambling irresponsibly,  which is what will aid the recovery process, since gambling addiction is most times a product when a person fails to accept defeat or loses while gambling. Hence, for one to be a responsible gambler then he needs to know that there will always be moments when you win or lose.

Addiction is a disease and like all diseases, it needs to be cured by a doctor. The first step for this to happen is for the person who is sick to admit that they are sick and seek medical help. But what happens with diseases like addiction is that in most cases, the sick do not admit that they are sick. They hide the disease and sometimes they believe that they are not sick. And when they have serious problems with the police or are physically attacked, these are the moments when relatives and friends discover that they are addicted. And the fight begins to take them to the doctor and the doctor has to isolate the addict, because gambling addicts should stay away from games, casinos, betting shops and even the telephone and anything that has the internet. For people who are not addicted yet, the advice is simple: gamble in moderation and only with money you can afford to lose, and never look at gambling as a means to get rich.

As you said, blocking or deleting a casino from our device will not really stop us from playing again. creating an account is very easy and making a deposit transaction is also very easy nowadays. all on our device.

I have also been in that problem, spending more than I allocated because I was too excited with the bets made. now I try not only to limit the allocation of funds but also my playing time. that's how I first dealt with the problem of excessive betting. more time spent on people around us, as well as work. so use a little time to visit the casino, that's better.
It may not be very easy. but when you start to get used to the restrictions you make yourself, then unknowingly it will develop into a good pattern for you. control will be better in your emotions until you can determine the right time to stop playing.

I think total abstinence is the best form for this situation cause in as much as you find yourself gambling you still want to do more with the little you've gotten and it's quite not suitable, when you lose you stop playing and when you don't win just keep it that you do this for awhile at least to avoid future damages.I definitely know it's hard to get rid of gambling especially when you're addicted to it and blocking of accounts would help as well because it limits your chances of using the casinos and as well enable you to be discipline with your decisions, so the best way to control addiction is in many ways depending on which one suits the criteria of addiction the person is involved with, cause for some you can block the account and it will help them have self control over their gambling habits but for some it differs too.

the problem is that a person with no self-control will need help
casinos won't vetting people without self-control to bet, in reality they could even want this kind of people because they'll be bigger LTV costumers
this is the sad reality.

My simple and sincere advice is that if you keep your funds in cryptocurrency you will definitely use them to gamble if you don't have the mind to overlook games. You will be tempted to use them in whatever wallet you keep them. Be a non Custodial wallet or exchange (custodial wallets), because they are not looking coin for future use. And in Centralised exchanges, you can't lock but the management can loock them for you if you contact them and explain to them that you want to lock then and unfreeze them in 5 to 10 years time to come and if they do that, it is better you keep it there but I don't trust Centralised exchanges because if anything happens to the platform, your funds are gone. So the second alternative is to keep the money you local bank and freeze them as fixed deposit which can be withdrawn within the agreed time frame. If you are not investing in cryptocurrency. Tell you back to freeze them as fixed deposit, whenever you have money, you deposit it in the bank. That is what I can advise you to do if only you accept it.

It all depends on the stage of gambling addiction and if the development of the disease has already reached its maximum, then it is impossible to cure such a person without completely abandoning the casino. It was necessary to think about self-control before you decided to visit the casino for the first time.
