Topic: Problem gamblers what can we do to help them help theirselves? - page 3. (Read 421 times)
No one can actually help a gambler but himself/herself. If you are addicted to something, you know that even if people, whether a close one or not, give you advice it won't stop you from doing something you are crazy about. For them, gambling is like a drug that they can't stop. That is why as early as you can learn to moderate your self, or if you know you can't move away from gambling. Gambling is supposed to be a habit to entertain people. It should be a means to relieve stress, spend time for yourself and socialize. But, due to the chance of earning easy money, it makes people greedy.
Embarking on a quest to gamble and turn $20 into $200 can be more fun, safe and exciting than gambling with large sums of money. There are bitcoin gambling sites and sportsbooks that accept 0.0001 BTC minimum bets, which could allow people to enjoy gambling recreationally without breaking their bank. Gambling as an addiction could be similar to substance addiction where quitting cold turkey isn't necessarily the best policy. A person suffering from depression on anti-depressants could damage their health if they stop taking medication, all at once. The best option could be to gradually decrease the dosage.
Personally, I am an active sports gambler. The best I can put this into perspective is, the better a person is able to eliminate money from the equation, the more successful a gambler they can be. A person who thinks about money and how much they can profit from making a bet, often loses. The lure of money and wealth exerts a powerful negative effect on cognitive function.

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.
