If a gambler has limited his budget, he will definitely not be curious even if he experiences a series of losses, but if he is a gambler who does not limit his budget, he will definitely be curious about his series of losses and then continue gambling until he spends the money he has, which makes him an addict, because he is an addict. It started with curiosity.

Gamblers must know their limits, know about the risks because if they don't know the risks and limits, they will exceed their limits so it will be easier to become an addict. When you become an addict, it will usually be difficult to stop gambling because the habit is difficult to get rid of, especially if you are an active gambler and regularly spend money. It's definitely very difficult to stop gambling with time and money, so stop it before it's too late. because it is difficult to stop gambling unless you want to reduce it slowly.

What's there to be cautious about, you ask? Frankly, anyone who exercises caution can still fall prey to addiction when experiencing a streak of wins and attributing it all to their skill. People might become arrogant and start developing a fondness for gambling due to their winnings. What they fail to realize is that they're being lured in by those initial victories.

A string of losses can fuel curiosity. To break free from such addiction, an incredibly strong resolve is required to impose self-restraint when addicted to gambling. To prevent gambling addiction altogether, the best course of action is to abstain from gambling entirely.

Well I can say some time those gamblers in that category are field with greed by chasing the winning by all means and therefor fails to follow the set rules and limit he places for gambling this has been the root cause of most of the problems that are faced by many of the gamblers who have hard issues of gambling addictions and other financial problems resulting from the uncontrollable gambling habits.

It's have been proven beyond any doubt that having an unchecked gambling behaviour can ruin a gamblers life and most of the gamblers already know of this and that is why we have limit in place and we also try as much as possible to avoid getting too involved in gambling,  we should take it a part-time thing.

I agree with you. There are too many gamblers who have no self control when it comes to gambling. Others don't notice that they are too addicted to it. When you win, you won't notice that you spend too much time when it comes to gambling, but of course you don't always win there. Most of them always lose, while others are already buried in debt. So when you gamble you really need to be careful about everything, you need to control yourself, put a limit on yourself.

If we don't already have a gambling addiction, we must prevent it from taking over us. Many gamblers lose self-control and become addicted to gambling, and they also cannot make good use of their time by doing other things. We can only be careful while gambling and not be influenced by anything that could cause us to continue gambling without stopping. We control ourselves so that we don't get into any trouble in the casino, and if we feel we have had enough gambling, we must immediately stop and leave the casino. We can stop gambling if we want, but the problem is that many people still want the excitement of gambling, so they continue to gamble.

Correct, it's the gambler who go towards as the appetite in aiming for more is always depending to us, wise and responsible gambler can put limits with their participation while for those who can't chances to become addicted is really possible, without knowing they already lose control with both time and the money that they already spent.

It's always your responsibility to control over your participation, never to engage that much and always re-assess yourself before continuing with your gambling activities.

Addiction does not come to us, we are the ones that go towards it's direction and the whole thing got over us, when we are gambling with care and caution, we will always be mindful of gambling with all moderacy and this will always be a reminder to is to work against any form of addiction because we are being intentional in everything we do, there are things we do that we should let go of, such could trigger us to getting addicted, we should also make use of our time wisely and try engage with other valuable things that can cause us have a better gambling experience.

It's really common among people who like to gamble, and it's not common among those who rarely or rarely gamble. Those two are different. The more a gambler experiences winning, the more it is planted in their mind that it is easy to make money gambling because they have tasted winning. And when there is an addiction, there is a problem.

Because when there is a gambler who wants to get rid of his gambling addiction, he has something that is not easy to get rid of. Because his life has become inclined or routine, If so, the guidance of loved ones will accompany it so that it can be easily overcome in the coming times.

We, as good players, must always be very far away from everything that can cause addiction because it is one of the things that can significantly affect people's lives. We are not perfect, but we must put one thing as the main objective, the control, control of the money of emotions and our vision, there are people who, because they do not have control of their life, fall into the addiction of a very violent way, then it is very difficult to get them out of it, some say it is but addiction in gambling than in drugs, I don't know, but for me drugs destroy because they kill the organism, the casino is something else that can cause addiction, for that reason we must control ourselves, limits are good, they help so as not to overdo it.

There may be some who are addicted to gambling and they are aware that something wrong is going on with them, but there must be some passing phase within the spectrum of gambling addiction where the person bargain with themselves and decide they will quit once they recover their money by chasing their loses, of course, we all know that is very unlikely to happen anyways.

I have the impression and many things in life are easier said than done and it includes dealing with addiction, it does not only takes personal will power but sincere care and understanding from people who wishes to help.

Some weeks ago I discovered by pure chance there is a subreddit completely dedicated to gambling addiction and their members try to encourage others not to gamble irresponsibly, it was quite a wholesome place to look at.

Regrets do always come in the end
Realizations do always come in the end
Awareness and common sense would be used but its too late
Changes would be made

This would really be the most common cycle on which people would really be experiencing out specially if they had tolerated out such gambling addiction which it is really that supposed
to be that for fun but due to those kind of thinking and mindset about making money and making yourself rich with gambling then this is where people do really lost of track.
They would really be only realizing things when they had already experienced those unfortunate events and this is something that you should really be  that
minding and be careful on not to make yourself addicted because addiction once that comes shackled on you then it is really that hard to get out.

The universe is not made to favour you but rather keep you uncomfortable to keep pushing and struggling all the way, and same theory applies to gambling because if tou don't apply limits and make a good risk assessment and management you could suffer an unrecoverable loss from gambling, this is so sad to the point that many have slid into gambling addictions because of the lack of discipline to follow stipulated guidelines, more so we need to become proactive in our approach to keeping safety and to avoid crisis that can come up from our engagement in casino.
Avoiding gambling addictions is the easiest way to stay off from problems and setting a limit to how much you gamble will set your steps in the right direction throughout your entire gambling journey.2

Gambling activities are common, no longer surprising to watch people gamble and winning, general losses are the orders of the day. Taking care of families is our responsibility, we fail and keep trying until we have a solidable results which will make us comfortable. There's no rest in this world, competition everywhere. Addicts suffered the heavy losses because they don't quit, rather they keep pushing and staking hugh figures on games. I don't buy the idea of sticking to a particular thing, instead we grow more opinions on how to better our lives and be on the winning side. It's easy to speak out words about quiting gambling but very challenging to put it into action.

Gambling addicts are never willing to admit that they are addicted to gambling because they cannot fill their own addiction. They then consider excessive gambling as normal. So you can never convince a gambling addict that he is deeply addicted to gambling and that it is harming him. So it is very difficult to force those people to Quit gambling. And do their families also start to feel disgusted with their behavior

It depends on a person's ability to control his urges and willingness to heal themselves from gambling addiction. If a person is really into gambling, he can't stop or turn his back from it in just a blink of an eye, it takes a long process. Reducing his gambling little by little would be a good move. He doesn't necessarily need to stop right away because it takes a lot of courage and effort to stop our gambling activities.
We can warn and advise them but it won't be as easy as we say and it's honestly challenging on their side but if gambling is ruining their lives and they can't do anything to quit, it would be best for them to seek for professional help.

There are different takes in each individual that involve to these activities, gambling is addicted not a secret but a reality that those who experienced it can testify that it's tough to resist, but yes, depending from a persons self-will that he can re-organized and make things change according to how he plan things ahead, maybe there are some who can say that they manage to beat addiction but most might still at denial stage or maybe already deeply involve and can't no longer resist.

Actually, it depends on the person's intention to stop gambling. There is a friend of mine who is an addict. He can stop gambling by reducing his gambling activities until he finally stops completely, but there is also a friend of mine who can't stop gambling but he can reduce his activities. gambling so he doesn't gamble as often as before.

Every human being has their own life choices and also has different problems, sometimes there are reasons why people who have stopped gambling can gamble again, that's why as people who have friends who are addicts, it's a good idea for us to continue to monitor and warn that we gamble wisely so that don't become an addict and spend a lot of money and time when gambling by reducing it slowly it will look better.

No, because the human brain is wired to think in that manner.
Let say there is a gambler who have received payment today and first he kept aside fund for his daily expenses, and left over with a reasonable amount which is right if can be saved for his child education, insurance policy, emergency, etc.
instead of saving he goes to casino for some day until he busts his leftover payment.
first day he won a small amount and gone home feeling happy and he didn't purchased anything for his wife or children by that winning amount.
next day he wins.
next day he loses his 10% amount in one game, now he is becoming a aggressive gambler, he started betting 5%-20% of his bankroll in one bet.
after playing some bet he loses his all money which was left that day when he received his payment.
after losing he becomes so angry at him and start to think ("i always lose all of my money on these stupid games, i will never gamble again") after some times his mind becomes calm and he start to think (oh! i was lost because of that mistake... I will try playing and recovering my all lost money on next payment day)
this cycle repeat in his mind and he becomes an addict who loses his hard earned money playing games, risking his families future. keeping them restricted to even a small luxury like giving a fake but beautiful ring to his wife, gifting his children with a little expensive pen which they can show to their friends in school and make them feel jealous, etc.

I agree with you if addiction were to be easily control nobody would have become an addict one of the most difficult thing to overcome or control is addict especially in gambling because an addiction is like a disease that if not properly taking care of it will eat you up and kept you in a condition you would never wish for yourself so truly quitting gambling can only be easy for someone who has control over his emotions and mental state about gambling while on the other hand is very hard for those that drown themselves on gambling were as they see gambling as everything and as such becoming an addict of gambling it will be very difficult and involves a lot of process to slowly quit gambling because just as you said you can't just ask an addict to stop gambling it never work that way.
