Topic: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. - page 9. (Read 9746 times)

In other words, a gambler who plays continuously will become an addict and he will view gambling as a way to make money, even though this is clearly questionable. Then he will easily be tempted by the games he sees in the casino so that he will gamble excessively and greed will incite his mind to gamble again and again. Yes, that's right, a sensible person in gambling will not only see his wins, but also his losses before his eyes, so that he will not gamble excessively and will not be addicted, because he is aware that there will definitely be more losses than wins. and he can also gamble for his own entertainment.

The thing is that in gambling if you want to be addicted in gambling you will be addicted without knowing that you have become addicted in gambling, and this happens when you don't calculate or keep records of what you spend for gambling weekly and monthly so that you can know if you make gain or not, some people can gamble throughout one year and it's only onces they can win gambling so therefore becoming addicted with gambling is basically depends on the regularity of them trying to win, and it's clear that onces you win gambling you will be expecting to win more and more and that leads some of the gambler to be addicted unknowingly

To me is two ways either easy or hard just depends on the gambler. For example yah new in gambling and you found that gambling ain't impacting positively in your life you can easily stop it because then you haven't gotten addicted to it. But if you started a newbie in gambling and you hit the jackpot,it will encourage to continue given you the mindset that you can easily hit it again well as is beginners luck. through that process of still trying and losing more and gaining small you become addicted To it which would make difficult for you to stop gambling.

As long you arent compromise the ff;

1. Money
2. Family relationship
3. Health
4. Time allocation

Then you would really be just fine, because majority of those gamblers who do really be able to engage with gambling then these are the primary things that they do really messes up.
If you cant bare up those potential risks and you do find out that you are already gradually making these things do happen then it would really be that better that you should quit
before its too late.
Realizations would really be always at the end of the line and people cant be possibly be able to assess those things because they are really that making themselves
that blind on the things that they are dealing with. It is really that a usual stuff for someone to focus on something which they've seen that
they are currently making money or profits but didnt realize about the risks involved behind those things.

Exactly if the sole purpose of a gambler why he gamble is for fun and entertainment then I don't think soending a lot of money for that is unreasonable, maybe yes some can waste or allocate a money for their gambling hobbies for fun and entertainment but they are the ones that are fortunates, but for us who don't have a luxury to waste money then if we only want to enjoy and experience the thrill of gambling games in a gambling casino then we should not use a large money because you are right when a gambler lose a huge amount of money because of his gambling session then it can't be help he/she will feel the regret and the urge to gamble more to recover the loss which is hard to avoid and the urge will mostly win. Chasing losses just to recover is like committing suicide. Because you already lost money, you will risk it again just in the hope that you will get back what you have lost.

The possibility of an uncomfortable position because of uncontrolled gambling sessions is the reason why we have to fight with every available strength in us never to slide into addiction at whatever time and also that we put everything in check as regards to how much time and money we gamble with and also the level of our greed,  we shouldn't allow the tendency for profits to drive our urge and pursuit for gambling.

Taking gambling as fun and staking a little amount that we can afford to let go is what makes for a good gambler and not the amount he is looking for to win from the games which that may likely never come,  and chasing after it may result into a more drastic ugly outcome.

The bad side-effect of gambling is your uncontrollable emotion, like what you mentioned, it's better to use the amount of money that you can afford to let go, setting it like this before you gamble will allow you to control whatever amount you are willing to lose, if you are aiming for entertainment, you should be enjoying for that small amount even if you lose your bet/s.

Most gambler who can't control their emotions ending in this bad situation, to the point that they can go and barrow some money to try recovering the money, but unfortunately, instead of winning back they just added it to the amount that they lose and become an additional problem financially.

Of course, if someone already has or carries the wrong mindset in gambling especially taking the chances of winning too seriously then obviously they will continue to pursue that victory, defeat is not the end of the world because they will not give up, the victory of others becomes an image that will make them feel motivated to be more enthusiastic in pursuing victory, people who are already addicted will never stop or it is very unlikely for them to stop before they lose all their money or valuable assets, and of course just because of the wrong point of view on gambling can make someone act out of control such as robbing to get money to gamble, and when they already feel various pressures then it is usually not uncommon for them to end up with stress or depression or even to suicide.

The fact is that it will not be that easy to stop and get out of the addiction zone, it is difficult to reach consciousness when you are still focused on winning which is basically no certainty and guarantee at all to get it, chasing victory and recovering the state there is a scenario that they will pass before entering the final phase between really wanting to correct mistakes or experiencing mental disorders.

Agreed and i want to say If a gambler tries to gamble not for money but for entertainment and if he loses a large amount of money, I think he should not use re bet to recover that money. He needs to take time. Because when he sets out to quickly recover that lost money, he will lose more. His enjoyable time will be the cause of his downfall. Generally those who wish to gamble only for entertainment should use a moderate amount of money so that they don't loss more. To use little money so that not to try to recover the lost money. Gambling is not a problem for those who are not too excited about losing money.

That's right, gambling is a risky game with a large percentage of losses that must be accepted, because many of them gamble but cannot accept the losses that occur, even though in my opinion in gambling the percentage of losses is superior to the percentage of wins. Therefore, if they really want to gamble, they should be prepared for the risk of losing which will clearly harm them, and also not think too much about defeats that have already occurred because no matter how hard we think about it, it will not change the situation that has already occurred.

and indeed stopping gambling is difficult if they are addicted to gambling, because people who are addicted to gambling tend to change.

*change of attitude
   become a person who is more stubborn and easily emotional.

*change of thinking
   People who are addicted to gambling tend to only think about gambling, because it has become a habit that they cannot get rid of easily.

*financial changes
   People who are addicted to gambling will not feel calm every day, because they always want to gamble, which could ruin their finances.

and if they are addicted to gambling, of course this can damage their health and possibly their mental health. Therefore, in my opinion, being able to recover from gambling addiction is not easy, because they have to be able to get rid of the habit that has stuck.

Gambling is like eating spicy food even though it can make you sick, since it might be good! Gamble, pun intended. But you're right - mindset matters. Entering a casino or betting site requires the mental preamble, "I might win, I might lose, and thats okay." Like going to the movies, you hope its good but sometimes its not.

The health situation is different. When gambling becomes a heartache rather than a race, stop. I say, "If its messing with your head, it's time to put it to bed." Mental wellness requires frequent care like a garden. Quitting is hard but achievable. Like breaking up with someone you know is bad for you, it hurts but is best.

Promoting healthy gambling is crucial. Like drinking wine, moderation is key. I usually advise time and money restrictions. If you're struggling, dont be ashamed to ask for help. Like asking for directions, it doesnt indicate you're lost, merely that you need help getting back on course. This is a game, not life or death.

It's just so disheartening seeing our youths getting engrossed in gambling, they waste their resources, and the precious time that could be used to make money and do other meaningful things. It's just almost impossible for majority of them to stop because they have taken it as a source of income which is a very wrong move to make, they end up trying and nothing comes out if. It has also made most them go around trying to steal money and valuables, sell it just to go back and gamble again.

My elder brother dropped out of the University in his final year because he used his school fees given to him to gamble and it didn't turn out well for him because our parents are not rich for him to ask for another, so he started writing exams for students just to make back that school fees and at the end of the day he was caught by the school authorities and was sent home. So gambling has done more harm than good to out youths, if you're addicts try to stop it.

With just simple mechanics and bets you can literally earn more than a bare minimum wage of a worker, but it wouldn't always be considered a steady source of income as we know that gambling relies on luck, and not always luck would be always by your side. There is nothing wrong if you think that gambling would be a good source of income, some even consider it as an investment by just simply betting their spare money, you wouldn't know you might still get the chance to double or triple your money. It is already on you when you already learned your mistakes, the pros and cons of gambling, but still continue as they cannot control themselves to gamble. It wouldn't be always a good choice to pick the easy way cause for sure it has consequences.

People venture into gambling with some  sort of positive mindset towards it as a steady source of income, it works for few of them including myself back then. After a successive win, they now throw in their all and all into it forgetting that the table might turn around. Victims of the negative side of gambling end up discouraging others from engaging in it while its their own fault that they couldn't control themselves. They come back and blame gambling as  an entity for their flaws and setbacks.

These kind of people in my own perception are not yet matured enough to start taking responsibilities for their actions and until then, they'll not fix the lack of personal and emotional control in them, instead, they'll continue looking for other things to blame for their failures and in so doing maturity is still very far from them.

To say it as it's been expected, is is truly possible to recover from loss, are we gambling in other for us to always make a win and if we doesn't then we begin to chase after loss, things aren't done like that in gambling and just as exactly as you've also said, gambling is meant to be taken for fun and we should do it with that understanding that we need to have the best moments of our pleasure in it while gambling, chasing after loss is just as having an unforgiven spirit and never to let go of our last mistakes, instead allowing them to get over us and affecting our passion for gambling, if we really are gambling for fun then we should know that loosing or not should be accepted the way it comes for us while gambling, the earlier the better people have to understand that they cannot recover from losses no matter how, instead, they may continue to loose more at the attempts of doing so.

I know some people who quickly removed the addiction from their minds once the consequences were serious enough to make them change their lives forever and not gonna step on gambling anymore. If you guys remember when Duterte declared war on drugs, it was not all drug addicts he was punishing and putting them to their ends but he also managed to close every gambling den back then in some of the communities here in our city and they quickly followed because bodies are laying in the roads and the victims are those who are managing the places and the people who used to go there are forced to change their lives but after Duterte has gone, they are now back to their old habits except for the few who managed to change their lives forever.

That is very true because playing gambling continuously without stopping will make his mind think about gambling, including how he can win at gambling. Even if he loses, he probably won't accept it and will keep trying to win the game he loves. People are easily tempted by what is in the casino, so it is one of the many things that keeps people coming back to the casino and gambling. If they could stop gambling and, rest their minds and do other activities, they would not think like that and could instead try to reduce their gambling activities. They also will not experience gambling addiction like other people because they have started to limit themselves from gambling excessively. They don't want to experience gambling addiction and try to prevent it.

The brain must be rewired, not only willpower. Avoiding record-keeping simplifies the issue. I feel the opposite: keeping records can be strong. The gambler realizes losses, breaking the fantasy of just one more gain. Face the painful truth, not dodge it. Self-determination is crucial, but actual evidence can help change

The assumption that proper advise may change a gambler's life is optimistic but unrealistic. Gambling addiction, like other addictions, requires multiple approaches. Treatment may involve therapy, support groups, and medication. It requires guts and a rehabilitation plan to navigate one's darkest time. The idea that a few days of abstinence may break the habit understates addiction

It is true that winnig or losing are the only two possible outcome of every game we play,but one thing we must try to accept is the fact that gambling is a risky game,which before one will want to begin,he must have had a mindset that anything can happen,it's either he loses or he wins,when he loses, accepting it as part of what happens to gamblers is what should be done,rather than taking it to heart,which will affect your state of health.
Talking about quiting,it is something very hard to do,we all know the moment you are addicted to gambling,you will find it very difficult to put an end to it.It is something ones you've started,there is no going back to it.

It is clear that a person will become addicted if he gambles continuously without a break and it causes huge financial losses. Because what happens in casinos is that people are easily tempted by this game, not using their common sense properly, even though in reality many lose and few win. Therefore, when we win or lose, there must be time to stop first so we can recover by looking for activities that are beneficial for us, so that if we want to gamble again we will be in a stable condition.
