Its true gambling destroys wealth, you will have nothing else to do with your money when you get addicted and the worst thing is that instead of gambling to earn money we gamble so we can be able to gamble again. Like you place a bet and win then you still stake your winnings on another bet which you may end up loosing so what’s the purpose of the bet? People need to put more caution on how they gamble they need to gamble responsibly. No matter how good you are in gambling you will not always win, there will be days you will loose and when you don’t gamble responsibly you will easily loose your bet.

If you succeed in getting the jackpot, we have to stop and not expect another jackpot because it won't be possible or it's unlikely. And if some people continue playing instead because they hope for another jackpot, they have wasted what they got. That's where he can become addicted to gambling, even though it's not too bad, but if he continues like that, after a long time, he will become addicted to gambling without knowing it. Gamblers have a problem because they don't have responsibility when playing gambling, so they can't stop when their money is low, and they've been doing this for a long time. So the only thing he could do was try to control himself and stop gambling.

Indeed. Especially when whispers poison their minds to continue playing gambling to get the win. They will regret it after it's all over. They will see that the money is gone and cannot be recovered, so they must leave the casino regretfully. They really have to reduce their gambling activities before they become addicted to gambling and to reduce the loss of money, and that can be done by learning to control themselves in gambling.

We have the same way of gambling, so I think that can help us continue to enjoy gambling and know when to stop. Whatever the outcome at the end of the game will not make us continue playing gambling because we know that our limits are visible, and we need to stop before it's too late. Also, we do this because we've had previous unpleasant experiences that we really want to get rid of by imposing responsibility on ourselves. Hopefully, we can stay like this while gambling so we won't experience gambling addiction.

And most of the time it happens, if not all but the majorities of gamblers suffered with this same emotions.

The more you seek and try to recover your losses the more you got aggressive and unable to control yourself in putting
more money in your bankroll, each time you empty your capital you force yourself to deposit more till you realize
that there's nothing anymore in your savings. Regrets and nothing else that follows..

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.

That is what we called chasing more losses, not winnings. The more we become desperate of getting back our losses, the more we lose control of ourselves and that makes the casino loves us and take our money more. Too late to realize that we got hooked up into such conviction. This will imply how important for us gamblers to set limitations and know how to control our emotions as this will save us from addiction and from losing more.

Yes because what's on their mind will be I need to win more and earn more no matter what, so when they experience losing they will do another set of bets and they deposit even more so they can think that they will get what they are already losing. We should manage and control our assets and especially our emotions so that it would not be a problem even though we are not stop playing gambling.

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.

But even if I am lucky to get a win, I will usually save the Ministry of Manning in my casino account or withdraw it, but most of me play often run out of small money every time I gamble on weekends, but at least I get satisfaction in the game, there is no solution to stop Gambling but you can change your own mindset.

They won't be able to think straight anymore when their minds are poisoned with gambling profits that they haven't even earned yet. Losing more money they don't feel and they will realize when their money is completely gone. The big jackpot is just wishful thinking and will never be achieved. Self-control and money control can be done at the beginning when they are not too addicted, so awareness is needed from an early age so that they are not trapped in a difficult situation.

The theory of 'loss aversion', which states that people feel the pain of losing more intensely than the pleasure of an equivalent gain, appears to be at play here. Gamblers often fall prey to this cognitive bias and continue gambling in an attempt to recover their losses, thereby spiraling into an addiction.

We could argue that the real problem is not gambling per se, but rather, a lack of responsible gambling. The industry itself, regulators, and individuals all have a role to play in promoting responsible gambling practices, such as setting limits on spending and time, self-exclusion programs, and promoting awareness about the risks of gambling addiction.

Your advice to control oneself and stop before losing more money is indeed sage. We could even argue that recognizing when to stop is the real "jackpot", isn't it?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The concept of big winnings is different for everyone. Gambling is what drives people in the first place. The opportunity to get an unforgettable feeling when the bookie slowly pulls out a card that can help you create a flush royal. All or nothing.

Discipline in all matters be it in financial management or discipline in the use of funds for gambling. So that there is no addiction that will result in bad things in the future. Gambling is indeed very addictive and it will be even more dangerous if there is no control. See how if someone is addicted to gambling, he is certainly never satisfied with the benefits he gets, especially if he always loses then he will continue to gamble without stopping.


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.

What you say is true because if we don't prepare everything properly before gambling, we won't be ready if we experience defeat. It will trigger emotions to try to get back the money we lost. With self-control, we can control ourselves to quickly realize that playing gambling doesn't have to use a lot of money. And since our goal is just to have fun, we should stop having fun and not try to continue playing or recover lost money. We must remember that gambling is not a means to make money but only for fun.

Yeah, investing in something is basically giving some project the chance to do something in the real world, like Apple, Microsoft, etc.

Gambling is simply buying a sensation that feels good. In the end the casinos will take all your money, it's based on math, it will always happen if you keep playing.

The only way to win against the casino is to win big once (which is rare), and then stop playing forever (which is rarer)

I can say self control is all about discipline, it is the safety lever that will keep us from drowning to gambling.  It is not only about bankroll management but also time management,  It is also the break when we seems to be hook to gambling.  In short self-control is the one that will save us from gambling addiction since all our gambling activities and expenses will be moderated.

I also agree that without self control is dangerous because gambling is very addictive and if we lost our self-control, it can be the start of our life ruin.  Gambling in moderation is not bad, it was proven to be beneficial to a person but getting addicted to it is another dangerous story.

Yes it is indeed a matter of choice, for those who don't want to gamble and just want to promote it it won't be a problem. Gambling for those who don't have good self-control will be very dangerous, it will be the beginning of all the problems that will arise due to experiencing several addictions. Self-control is not just the will to continue gambling, but the management of the money used for gambling. try to stay on the safe track and not turn gambling into a main means of earning money. Gambling is only done as entertainment.
