This has a point. I rarely hear that someone is addicted in sports gambling. Most of the time, players get too much caught up with luck based games. Since luck based games such as slots and roulettes are not that complicated, it's much easier to access and play whenever and wherever. There's no need for an event to come up just to be able to play and bet. Unlike in sports betting wherein the gamblers have to wait a specific time frame in which the sports match will commence before they can make a bet. And with this being said, it's not going to be an everyday scenario for them which just basically puts them into lesser probability of getting addicted to gambling.

This depends on the gambler because, let's say, the gambler is fond of all sports, so he would possibly bet on all of them because there are everyday sports events or tournaments happening, so he can still get addicted. The same is true with e-sports, where there are everyday somewhat big events, celebrity match-ups, and local tournaments. As long as betting is involved, no matter if it is skill-based or luck-based, you can get addicted to it, and there is no exception.
The majority of the gambling addiction is out of Casinos and other games that are much dependent on luck than skills and data. With sports betting we can't see much of addiction, because very few out of the loss experienced in a game try to recover the loss with the consecutive game in which he doesn't have any idea. Here the gambler had selected the odds on pure luck, similar incidents won't happen with sports betting people. Mostly they try to bet on sports and events in which they have got idea. Addiction is mostly with people who want immediate winning which is possible with casino games. Based on my understanding maybe there'll be 10% of sports betting addicts whereas the 90% will be on luck based games addiction.
You cant really say that sports betting cant really be able to create those addicted gamblers on which there are still who are addicted bettors too, it is really just that the result or outcome of getting wrecked isnt really that
on fast pacing unlike when you do play on a casino or fast pace kind or type of games on which you would be definitely be finding yourself that losing money on a very fast manner. Doesnt matter whether you are getting involved with sports or casinos which risks is always there. Gambling is for entertainment and if you do know on what you are doing and you are really setting out those limitation or moderation on how you would be spending things up then you are really just that fine or you would be considering yourself to be just fine. Speaking about investment and other similar ventures then it would really be according into you because
not all would really be that mindful in regard into this matter.

It's not how often that you gambles makes you remain safe in it, it's how serious and committed you're in doing other things while gambling and none is being affected, this also talks about being able to multitask, we know that not everyone can have upto this ability as expected but we can all try our best by adopting a safety measures, cautions and guides while gambling to help monitors the extent to the rate which we can go in gambling
As long as it is normal, it is okay. I mean never be like spending time for gambling too many hours a day. If it is only about 1-2 hours per day, gambling won't really be affected other activities. But if you spend time a half day or even the whole day, it will bring a serious impact to other activities and can be categorized of addiction.

Anyway, if you still can do other activities without a problem and you have no problem when you can't gamble sometimes, it means you aren't addicted. Sure, to avoid addition, we need to have good emotional control and commit to ourselves to gamble in a safe way. Having a good financial management in gambling is also needed to apply.

Doing multi task jobs and at the same time gambling, it takes only discipline minds to control the sector of gambling, not allowing it to surpassed other activities. Taking preventive measures towards gambling because I know what it can do to our lives. Gambling less is good, atleast we don't allow it to take full control of our mind and we focus on what aides our growth financially. Gambling is not bad as it seems, but when we look at gambling addicts, we tend to have the impression that gambling is negative attributes and brings further losses to individuals who engaged in its activities.

If you are not aiming for a quick way to earn, I mean if you don't have that wrong impressions into gambling.

Using the amount that you are willing to let go, sparing it for the sake of entertainment is something that wise gambler
is really capable, they can calculate and they can execute that kind of engagement without any fear of exceeding and
losing a lot of money, with the kind of setup addiction is also being catered, not allowing too much engagements and
exposure to gambling.
It is true.
Sports gamblers are the ones who are not mostly prone to gambling addiction because they are just logging in whenever an event will happen with their favorite sports. And, a human being can only handle less amount of sports to be more knowledgeable about it.
I love boxing, MMA, and basketball only, and adding more might get me confused about which sport a player/fighter will be. Sometimes I even mix MMA with boxing because of the entertainment that is happening right now mostly with Jake Paul challenging MMA fighters.
I tend to just wait for big events to come and in NBA the season ends so there's a long rest that will come after. I just play casino games when I feel bored but I don't really soak into it, just an hour of playing Keno or Crash, I already have a sored eye.  Grin

I think those who believe they are near the addiction, they should just try to focus on sports betting instead, the fun is still there because of the thrill that will be added by betting for the favorite team.

Not really the case mate because even if let's say that the gambler is fond and knows a lot of sports compared to a regular sports bettor, there is still a big chance that he will not get addicted to it because knowing the sports doesn't also mean that he/she knows everyone playing behind it. So, that brings them back to square one where they will wait for the game/fight and will not be an everyday habit where they will spend a lot of time betting.

This is probably a true observation. It is because sports bettors usually do their research before they make a bet. They are not in a hurry. They are scholars. I mean not all of them like this but most of then are. People that bet on luck based games however, they are into get rich quick stuff. They try various patterns and strategies sometimes but in the end they all want the same thing. I don’t blame them however. Luck based games are only good to turn your 1 money into 2+ or zero. It only takes a second to see the result. You don’t need to do any research or have any information beforehand. You just need pure luck.

Trying to get back the lost money is only a camouflage to continue gambling, even though the goal of those who are too addicted is to fulfill their gambling desires. they believe that they will win and hit the big Jackpot, but in reality they spend too much money. what was originally a means of fun instead became a place to throw all the money.
This means that the goal of gambling has changed to wanting to satisfy the desire to gamble and is no longer chasing victory. But even so, they should be able to think that what they are doing has a big risk of losing more money where they can become addicted to gambling and when that happens, they can lose more money. They may also find it difficult to get the big jackpot because it depends on their gambling luck. So it's better always to control yourself, always control the use of money, and stop immediately before you lose more money.
planning a gambling budget with a small amount that can afford to lose and gambling responsibly, that's the best way for me to be able to control your gambling sessions.
maybe everyone has a different way, but the goal remains the same, namely to control yourself not to gamble too often.
If gamblers can do this method, I'm sure it will be very easy to stay away from addiction and stay safe.
I will always support those who say that they bet very little money, because I know they are clear that it is the money they are willing to lose, it is risky, loseable money, and that it can multiply at any moment if they have the touch of Good luck, this can happen, in a casino there will always be the possibility that I say, but of course, those who allocate little money seem very intelligent to me, just to have fun and just to have a good time, without looking for profit, because it becomes pressure and Stress is something very intelligent, and I hope many would think that way, because they would change the way they see everything about casinos and obviously there would be no addicts.

If you really want to stay safe with gambling-related issues, all you can do is stop gambling. That is the only way that you can be sure that you will not lose anything and that you will not only stay safe, but also your own money. That seems the most sensible to me. Of course there are ways to collect some money with gambling, but keep in mind that you will always have to deal with a nasty defeat and you will have to swallow it and, above all, learn to accept it, to prevent it from becoming 10x worse. will go afterwards. Because that's what almost always happens when you have a bad day or evening session. You have to be able to deal with that.

Exactly.

It's the same as any other addiction, like alcohol for example.

You simply need to stop doing that behavior. But that usually doesn't work by itself, you need to do something else instead that produces some comparable entertainment/fun/etc. Otherwise you'll just go back to it.

First of all you have done a good job by refusing them. I don't know why they are saying these two waysa s same. Because trading and gambling are two separate paths. In gambling you have the 99% chance of loosing money. But here in trading you can hodl the Bitcoin and can get profit. In trading you can hold a trade but in gambling you can never hold a bet. So these two things are totally different.
Apart from holding, someone who has knowledge and experience about the market and how cryptocurrencies work, and how their prices move as can be determined by reading the charts and doing technical and fundamental analysis, can earn profits by trading cryptocurrencies on a daily basis if you have a good enough capital in your hands.

So gambling is definitely not the same as trading because, in gambling, every bet gives you only a 50% winning chance or maybe even less since there is also a house edge which gives the house an advantage of a few percent.
I respect each opinion and experience , since many players have their own style to play , I really like the way in which you can bet little and have few profits, because that way you gain experience , you don't get into that despair of doing everything time money and being with that uncertainty, for me that control is Important because when Managing a small budget, it is known that if you win you win and if you lose you do not invent more, and Psychologically things will turn out better, as far as I am concerned Regarding that , this was one of the Techniques by which I learned that in the game you must be very Intelligent.

I do feel somehow when I read that it's not easy to quit gambling or take a break from it, I see such a remark as a weakness which everyone should not tolerate. Gambling is a choice and quitting it is a choice as well, but if you are finding it difficult to quit gambling then you should know that something is wrong with you, which is more reason why you should do the needful. Till today, I've quitted gambling many times and returned at will, and what is helping me mainly has been said by you, no one should think of gambling as a means to get rich. It goes a long way in helping the challenged ones.

I gamble for fun and I am happy whenever I make money, this is the right mindset, anything otherwise could make the life of a gambler to be miserable.
That is a good thing because you understand your purpose for gambling. You could think of gambling as entertainment, not a means to get rich. We should seek wealth in other ways than from gambling because we may find it difficult to get it as gamblers. But that doesn't stop people from immediately stopping gambling because they find it challenging to win the game and earn the winning money.

If people could gamble for the fun of it, I think it would reduce gambling addiction because people don't chase winnings. But if they win, they can stop immediately and withdraw the winnings.

If in a car or vehicle the control is like a brake, then when there is an obstacle it can still be fixed, but if the control or self-control of a gambler has been lost, it is difficult to have it again because this is the influence of the gambler's own desires so that control or self-control just disappears .
The thought of a gambler who no longer has self-control can make that gambler experience the worst phase of his life because like a car that has no brakes, he cannot stop when he is in danger or addicted to gambling.
The fact is that no matter how one's point of view is, most of them will never be able to get out of their curiosity. Gambling is very much tied to one's personality, the target of the casino system is someone who does not have a strong mentality that they will be very easy to influence psychologically. It will be very difficult for them to be able to stop completely in gambling, but to reduce it is certainly possible. It is difficult for them to get out of that zone because the lure of victory will always haunt their minds, including mine, and to be honest I am one of them. If you know the best solution to this problem, the point is to get out of the curious zone about a gambling win, please tell me now.
Getting out of the gambling zone is indeed very difficult, the key is in the mindset, maybe by changing the mindset that playing gambling cannot make us rich, so we will play according to our goals so that it can easily control ourselves in gambling, I think I am also the same Like you but I am different from most people gambling, I only gamble to fill the emptiness on weekends spend a little small money to gambling betting to have fun not to double money.

Self-control is like the brakes on a car, it is not precisely the most appreciated feature on a car but without it there will not be anyway for cars to be as widely used as they are, self-control will allow someone to navigate even the most difficult circumstances and still do well enough, and without a doubt when it comes to gambling we need to use our self-control, otherwise we could find ourselves losing money we could not afford to lose.

Yes, without brakes, the car simply cannot be used, otherwise you will not be able to stop it, this will lead to uncontrollable consequences, to a situation that you cannot control in any way. The same goes for gambling and everything where you have to deal with money, if you allow a situation that you cannot control, then the result will no longer depend on you, and in this case there will be very little chance of winning.
Which is why it is way better to prevent ourselves from ever reaching that point, after all it is way easier to prevent a problem from happening at all than it is to try to solve it once it has become enormous, however this is something that hardly enters the mind of some gamblers and as such they ignore all the warning signs, and they only recognize that they are in deep trouble once there is no way for them to avoid it and they have no other option but to try to solve their problems.
