Yeah, my mind always thinking if I'm not addicted yet, but the $2000 jackpot and use the $1000 to play and ran out, making me wanted to hit another jackpot. I never increase the bet. wich max. $0.8, and never do more than that. This debt makes me learn something, if someone can't stop to play, give the money access to someone they trust. Me, after I'm lose a lot of my winning jackpot, I only have access to my crypto wallet, for my fiat wallet I give the access to my wife, to stop my addict. Also, do something to forget the slots. Not just a debt, help me to control the time to gamble, but also use my free time to play a MOBA game.

A very normal thought or thinking that you could really be having on the time that you do make out some wins on which you would really be mainly thinking that you should really be that betting even more so that you could really be having the chance on making more winnings which we know that it is really that a common behavior of most gamblers. You would really be that trying out snip out every possible wins that you could be able to get on but we know on how gambling chances do works or the odds that showing which we know that it is always against with us gamblers and this is something you should really be realizing.If you dont find yourself that having the good control then most likely you would really be ending up on a disaster or something a situation on which you hadnt been able to anticipate. Good financial management and control towards yourself
is always been the key on making yourself do abel to avoid possible addiction on which most people do suffer. If you do find yourself already getting impulsive on things when it comes to spending then this is the
right time that you should really be that trying out to stop or having a break because if you do tolerate out such impulsive behavior then it might potentially be leading into that severe addiction which would really be
leading into those non fortunate conditions or something that you dont really like to happen.

I'm glad that at the moment you have everything under control. But in my opinion, you need constant adrenaline in life, I think you can't live without it. If you win the jackpot, then you continue to play, with a high degree of probability you will lose all the money from the jackpot (sorry for being blunt, but this is what happens to most). You will go into a state of debt. Debt makes you play less, which means you will be in one of these 2 states. It looks like a sine wave graph. With such sine wave graph you must have nerves of steel.

Find other ways to keep yourself entertained. Talk to people and try to go out for a walk or travel places. It's all about keeping yourself away from the thing that you are addicted to. But the most important thing is, you need to make a mindset where you want to avoid getting addicted. Others can only do so less. It's you who needs to have the will to stop it from happening. People around can give you advice or close ones can do something to keep you away from gambling. But when they are not around, you are most likely to get addicted again.

Make up your mind to not get addicted and follow some self-made rules that you think will keep you away from this. Find some other activity that can give you the same feeling as gambling. You can divert your mind to that and you will not become addicted to gambling for sure. It's all about the chemical reaction that happens in our brains. So searching an alternative is the best idea.

Involving a professional is not always necessary, the most important thing is for an addicted person to accept their addiction and acknowledge the fact that they are in a problem and they need someone's help to get out of it, and then someone from their closed ones like friends and family members can help them with that by finding activities that they like and keeping them engaged with those activities and also not leaving them alone at any given time.

If they are trying to cure someone's addiction and then they leave them alone for very long, the addict will most probably start gambling again once they get lonely and when they see that there is no one to stop them. So, it's important that there is at least one person who is always around the addicted person.

After getting a big win then spending it again on betting and thinking if tomorrow will win again it's very natural and almost every gambler has thoughts like that and it's actually a small impact or simple sign of addiction that will continue to happen and I agree with @Apocollapse if the gambler You have to be responsible when gambling, you have to know when to stop, even if you are winning or losing, at least knowing the right time to stop is better than having to chase a bigger win, spending your first win and thinking that tomorrow you will win again.

I think every gambler should have thoughts as stated by some people here to have better emotional control without having to chase losses or chase jackpots from gambling which is very misleading in the long run and that must be avoided.

Balancing expenses with income is one solution to reducing gambling habits. Good financial management will prevent you from becoming a gambler who cannot control yourself even when experiencing financial difficulties. Prioritize family needs, then think about the level of savings you have accumulated. If everything is neatly arranged, you can channel your desire to gamble without experiencing long-term effects in your daily life.

My friend, I hope you just made that up to write this post as a simple requirement to meet your posting quota in this section, otherwise I don't know what the hell you are doing writing in this section and continuing to gamble.

If you once lost your life savings you have to stop gambling forever, and think about gambling as little as possible, because you are one step away from losing it all again and even more (there are those who besides losing everything they have, ask for loans and lose them too).


Seek help and and leave all gambling forever. If you have a problem with gambling you have to stop like an alcoholic. You can't drink even a little drop anymore.

Yes it is best decision to learn only from someone who has experience. Because those who have experience have the best practical knowledge of a things. Educational knowledge alone cannot make anyone successful. If one has experience, even if he has no educational knowledge, he is capable of doing good things more than an educated person. So knowing something from an experienced person is most helpful

Yes. That exactly describes my situation. I once in my lifetime lost all my savings on gambling. 5 digit sum in usd. Had panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. I didn't seek medical advice but was consulted by friends and family. I can't say I'm totally in control of my gambling but till date after the incident, I have remained calm and not lost more than I was thinking of as my betting budget. There were times I lost quicker than I thought, or some spare coins I was thinking of doing something else. But not even in 3 digits sum.

As far as I know there is no gambler who only gambles once a week because it is an addictive drug like cigarettes which is hard to give up. On the other hand you cannot earn certain money from gambling so it is not really ideal in your personal life. According to me rich people can gamble because they have enough money to back up but a common man can be destitute when he gambles. I gamble but when I have more capital it is a secret from the society and I don't always tell the family. I expand the money I earn from gambling into other businesses but always keep my thoughts straight.

Yeah, we can say a gambler is win in gambling when he already become a responsible gambler.

Gambling surely make we lose our money in the long run, we need to understand when to continue and stop during gambling. If we're already make a good amount of profit, we should need to quit and then celebrate our winning. If we're lose, we also need to quit and don't deposit anymore, just play again tomorrow and hope it will be your's day.

The first step is to admit your mistake. That way, you will be able to see the problem and devise a solution. However, although you know the solution, the challenging part is the implementation of the solution. When a gambler is addicted, it's their emotions that dictate them, not their mind, and a lack of intelligence can be very risky, as it can lead to bigger problems.

It's not easy, but it's not impossible. Just keep learning and learning, and eventually, you'll end up becoming a disciplined gambler if you haven't become homeless yet.

They might go on this way if they follow someones activity especially those influencer. Its hard to follow them since we don't know they show realistic result or just a fake one that's why gamble on your own pace and always in right mind to decide whether what condition you are experiencing on. Would be so hard if we get addicted since no one will take charge to help us but only ourselves if we go thru this condition so always bare in mind thag game responsibly.

Yes, it's true that this is the initial characteristic of people who are addicted to gambling or are still considered not very mature, they are still new players, even people who have been gambling for a long time know when they have to stop gambling and withdraw their winnings as soon as possible from the casino, usually new players still don't. controlled from greed so that when you win you still want to get an even bigger win to get rich quickly.

To be honest, I was like that in the past, but after learning a lot from defeat, I realized that it is not victory that must be pursued, but defeating the feeling of greed within myself because that will make it easier for me to use a healthy mindset when gambling, fortunately I am gambling now. just to have fun nothing more, always have a limited budget for gambling so when I win I will withdraw the money but if I lose, let's just say I paid for the entertainment because it makes me happy.

It is true that due to lack of self control gamblers are more at risk actually there is no fault of the game here but it is better to control yourself. If not controlled in time gambling tendencies can reach addiction. Addiction often creates an unstable emotional state, with a greater tendency to react with irritability and anger and hostility toward the constant upheaval of the day. We should not forget that the indomitable nature of participating in online gambling underestimates the harmful potential of this type of addiction and the symptoms it manifests through.

I think the moment you used all the money you have win from winning the jackpot, it is considered addicted. Because to continue playing even after winning and you starts losing, it gives you the thinking of maybe the next one will make you win. It's not an obvious act but this is actually the beginning of addiction.

I have been gambling for many years already and up to now I still continue to gamble regularly. For many years of experience, the was only one time when I had regrets when I gambled amounts that I considered right now as bigger than I could afford to lose although during that time the amounts were tolerable since I was very liquid.

I know that even educated people can still be addicted to gambling. It is very hard to control our emotions so the best way to plan before starting to play or bet. Make a limit on our bets and the amount should not hurt us if we are to lose. Also, it is necessary to make time limits for our gambling activities. Set an alarm if possible so we can stop at the right time. The is a lot of stuff to do rather than gamble all day long.

After I hit the jackpot, I was still playing at that time. I played the next day and some days of the week I used some of my winnings to gamble again. At that time, everything is still under control, there are no problems in mylife. Until the money from the jackpot runs out, I use is the money I saved. In fact, I always refused to be considered addicted, because I thought, I only played 1 season in 1 day, with a certain amount of money. But, when I lost, the next day I played, I always hoped for the jackpot, and continued to do so. That's when I admitted that I was addicted. However, financial problems have a positive effect for me in reducing gambling, for the first time I'm able to stay away from gambling even not opening the gambling account that I have.

It's true, the desire to get a lot of money through gambling and get one life changed is basically what makes everyone gamble more even after losing. It's a strong feeling when you are deprived of the things that you like to have in your life and you see others having them. You keep thinking of the ways that can provide you with at least the possibility of gaining everything you want, and gambling is the easiest way that provides the possibility for people to achieve their goals.

However, people don't consider the fact that gambling is not a guaranteed way of achieving everything, and only a very small possibility doesn't mean that one spends everything they have or earns on gambling because whether you will get something or not from gambling is totally dependent on your luck.
