I was reading meta section and saw a thread complaint about poor posting in the gambling section. I came to the section and look at some threads and realized there did not seem to be any threads made for the gambling crazed losers. Thus I posted this.

What do you mean made for the gambling losers? You mean advises for them?

If that is so, the secret to winning is changing your tactics. Basically if you are going to do the same thing again and again, and most of the outcomes aren't promising, why don't you try to change your betting style and try to trace some patterns that will lead to much higher profit? One of the things to consider is to bet where the whales/big betters are especially if you are uncertain in your decision.

No one can help those gamblers to cure his addiction but himself only. We can give so many suggestions to him, but if he doesn't want to move from the worst situation to a better situation and go to psychiatry, then it's no use. We can help them to solve their problems addicting in gambling if they ask our help, and they want to remove their bad habit. Only a few people can tell their problem in the addicting of gambling, so it is hard to help them. But perhaps, we can motivate them to reduce their time in gambling so they can understand how to reduce their time in gambling.

We can’t expect gamblers to post anything here aside from winning, losing and betting because that is the purpose of this section and I think gamblers are active on every discussion here because they know how to play it. Well if you want to understand every thread then you must be a good gambler.

As long as you've gambled before, you can join to the discussion and you don't need to be a good gambler though. Gambling discussion's board one purpose is to help everyone in developing their skills in gambling by applying and sharing ideas given by other players who has more experience and disciplinary act.

Well to be able to help their current situation, they must first realize that gambling can never be profitable in the long-run especially if you view it as an avenue of generating income. With the risks associated, there can be ways to lessen the risk but you can never be so sure that you'll win every single bet that you make.

If gamblers are unable to realize this essential view, they may need the help of their peers, parents, or even loved ones to let them know and support them through his journey. This can never be easy but with the right mind and attitude, one can overcome addiction if he/she is determined to change.
Again, change starts in the mind and through their concrete actions.

Gamblers will always have to deal in their roles and responsibilities in life, there is a need to weight their biggest WHY they keep playing and WHY they should stop gambling. There are already many posts or merely rants of gamblers I've read before that only telling him what can be the outcome of too much gambling and to learn from his experience. Maybe now, some gamblers learn or they just don't want to waste their money now that the market is in bearish season.

Seeking help if you're actively aware you've got a problem with gambling is definitely a legitimate course of action to take. While I don't see gambling as a problem for most people, and most people I know and see around here seem to be responsible with gambling and recognize the risks of gambling as well as the mathematical reasons (house edge, etc) behind why it's impossible (most of the time) to make money from gambling, there's a point where you shouldn't be dealing with it purely by yourself anymore if you're not capable of stopping an addiction to gambling or really anything at all.

If one of your friends or people you know visibly has a problem with gambling, you can always try to get professional help with gambling for them if they're willing. I've already done this for some people I knew in the past, and though some people are too deep into the hole they've dug to stop, a simple talk can sometimes be what makes one of these people wake up.

honestly? Few people can cure an addiction, the adrenaline of winning gets stronger each time the person wins, and defeat becomes a strong catalyst for the person to continue playing. Even if we take the gambling addict for treatment with a doctor, it will be difficult for the addict to heal if he is not surrounded by calm, thoughtful people who are willing to help. and when I talk about calm, thoughtful, willing people to help, I'm referring to the kind of people who won't freak out when the addict sells his goods to gamble.

They don't need intervention from random strangers and co-degenerates on the internet: they need real help from psychiatrists and their loved ones. Sure we can always reiterate that gambling makes them lose their money but at the end of the day, their own urge to gamble is within their control and not ours. Their loved ones can persuade them away from doing such but then again, if they're deeply into it, there's no way their family can save them.

Most repeated statements on each of the gambling section's threads are

1) Gambling is for fun.

2) Never bet more than you can afford to lose

But these things said in different ways to different kind of query.So gamblers needs to understand those both things then they are not in any serious problem.

It is their mind, however we try if the user himself hasn't thought of giving up there is no chance of getting out of gambling addiction. Another important thing is the loneliness, people who are addicted should be left alone. When left alone even if they're in control the mind easily makes them go try the luck. They need a job or something that keeps them active, only then they'll leave gambling.

They need professional help this is an addiction and all forms of addiction needs professional help if you can be his constant companion and if you can have him to listen to you, you can lead him to get help from professional help, that's the only way to cut him off from being a chronic gambler and return to normal life, I doubt if they can help themselves, they need outside help, and a friend is a good help from outside.

Omicron is another FUD

The Eastern proverb says "don't be a hero, have mercy on yourself and don't try to change the world because the world can shift focus". basically we can not help someone if that person does not want to change. only their lost money is desired by the losing gambler, they will not need advice or words of wisdom.

I think there's a lot of similar threads like this before they are either buried or locked by the moderators for further spamming,
about your post, the best way to help them is for them to realize that they are very much hooked on gambling, chronic gamblers are always in denial that they are hooked on gambling, telling people that they can stop if they want, but that's not true, they are just lying and do not have a capability to do that, only help from family and friends and rehabilitation can help them.

It is hard to help a gambler to realize that they are making wrong with their life. That will be the same if we remain the alcoholic to stop drink alcohol. If they have a reliable power to prevent themselves from their habit, then we can help them. Otherwise, we cannot do anything except we stayed beside them when they played. At least, we can suggest to them to stop while they can and don't wait until the money is gone.

Just tell them that they must have self-control and know what is a risk. Gamblers always to gamble because that is already their habit. But we can help them through advice. Sometimes we think that it's better to put in rehab, but for me, I don't know if that makes help. Or probably a good help if we change the gambling addicts environment and avoid gambling for a while and divert the attention into other stuff that makes them busy. Nevertheless, through the help of their self, they will himself in that way.

Only the sensible gamblers would survive and the greedy ones would be heavily experienced consequences that they havent met ever.
I cant deny that this board do have lots of mega threads repeating up comments and opinions all over again but non surprising since this is
a forum after all and come to think that not all people would have the same mindset on how they would react or comment into things on where we could really able to tell the difference.

Stopping or tending to help other gamblers? They are the only ones who can help out theirselves or else they would learn up things after such
problem been experienced.

None I think. Even people with little money will try to gamble.

We should post a sticky I think in the gambling section explaining gambling in details,I think to explain the risks of gambling more than the benefit of it.
~

Something similar to "Cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health" and then showing an image of a disease caused by smoking on the cigarette box/pack? Smokers tends to ignore that warning and gamblers will do the same.

This is the gambling section mate. Maybe ask admin to create a Anti-Gambling section or some gambler's therapy board.

The thing that we can do to help problematic gamblers is to provide constant reminders of what gambling is and what is the effect if they will continue what they are doing but mind you it might be hard because most of the can’t appreciate the reminder and they might think that you reminding them the pros and cons of gambling as very helpful. However, if the person involve is a close family member then better seek professional help for them.
