Exactly, in gambling all gamblers really can't avoid risk completely and what they can do is nothing more than doing things that can minimize the possibility of losing less, such as implementing some preventive measures. As you said, no matter where you engage in gambling, online or offline really doesn't matter, both still have the possibility of risk, and for the matter of the size of the risk you will experience it depends on how you approach the gambling you do.
These two types of gambling still have the risk of possible addiction as I said above, and of course it's true as you said that the better thing to do is to apply some precautions along with self-awareness firmly, because only that can keep and help us from experiencing a large number of defeats like those suffered by gambling addicts out there who always overdo it and consider something not based on self-awareness so that usually the final result more often makes them disappointed and emotional. I'm sure you've heard of this, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it.
We can only reduce the risk so that it doesn't become big, especially if it is gambling because by preventing bigger risks, we can use our time and money wisely. We will not try to chase victory, which is difficult for us to get, so we will just have fun playing gambling, and we can stop according to the time we have determined. It is true that online and offline gambling certainly has its own risks, and it is up to us to reduce these risks. The size of the risk will be our focus to prevent so that no serious problems will occur.
If we can't prevent the risks, we will only face problems that will probably get bigger, and when that happens, we can become addicted, and we don't even realize it. And we should take precautions before it happens so that we don't face major risks. That is why we need self-awareness to be able to prevent the risks so that we will not become emotional or disappointed with the results we get from gambling because in gambling, we can experience bigger losses if we lose self-control. We must be able to take care of ourselves. At the same time, gambling so that we will not experience experiences like those experienced by gamblers out there who have lost a lot of money and also become gamblers who are addicted to gambling. If we can gamble responsibly, we will avoid various problems that will only add to the burden on our lives while we cannot get pleasure from gambling.
Exactly like my idea above that in gambling all we can do is take several preventive measures to minimize the number of losses so that they are not too significant, but unfortunately people (gamblers) usually focus more on the chance of winning, even though the reality is the opposite which is true if you If you chase wins too much, the number of losses usually increases, the reason is clear that gambling is not a place to earn income but is just an activity to fill your free time.
On the other hand, I am consciously sure that all people, including addicts, do not want to experience problems as a result of gambling, therefore firmness in changing viewpoints and beliefs really must be emphasized, all of this is for our own good so that we don't experience many problems such as financial along with some stress from unwanted situations. It all starts with self-awareness thanks to a correct understanding of gambling. I think you can achieve that awareness by looking at the examples of other addicts who have already suffered from many problems, take the positives and throw away the negatives and make changes for the good.
