Topic: Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health (Read 1157 times)

There's nothing wrong with wanting to win at gambling, but you should know that it's not easy. Controlling emotions is important, so let's not take it away when we gamble. What happened to your friend was that he didn't control his emotions and put all his hopes on it, that's why it's called gambling because you don't know what will happen next. Only luck will win you so you should only play gambling to have fun. Get well soon to your friend and I hope he recovers soon.

This is where many gambler get it wrong; they fail to appreciate the risky associated with gambling that us why someone will plan with targeted winning.  The early we appreciate that the odds is against the player the better. In other words, any money invested into gambling should be what we can afford to lose and not money we are supposed to use for other important things.

If you are desperate to win, you will lose more and vice versa. This is how gambling is designed and the reason the rich win gambling more than the poor.

You tried, well, relying on gambling for so long—even to the point of survival—so it's unexpected that you won't eat if you lose. And while I am aware that many people turn to gambling as a means of escaping poverty and that it is not a good idea to pass judgment, it is important to discuss control. While it is not always simple, considering gaming as a means of getting money is not the best course of action. That is gambling for you when you need money that is when you will even find it more difficult to win, when you don't even expect that is when you will win sometimes. My brother had a friend to who always win but along the line no more wins, all of a sudden he became depressed and frustrated imagine the mental stress he was under going.  And am happy about how you have worked on your self bro, the best advice I give to people that reply on gambling i told them to get a job and play safe while gambling.

Bro, your friend is lucky because his 1$ becomes 2500$ but he should still know that luck is not always with you. Self-control and emotions are important when you gamble, I can't blame your friend for taking his luck and hoping to win again, but it's really wrong because we know that it's impossible to win gambling consecutively, it's too much rarely win like that. Surely your friend learned something from that mistake.

I almost got to a point where gambling ruined my mental health. There was a time things was so difficult that I depended entirely on gambling to survive. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to win at that point. I don't know why it became so difficult to win especially the time I needed most... maybe desperation was making me choose wrongly. Iam just lucky to escape the depression, frustration and sleepless nights. Now I'm a better gambler as I have developed a relaxed mind and hardly exhibit any form of desperation.

What I have noticed from that experience is that gambling best to be side income and not to be the full time job. Taking gambling as full time job can be frustrating since winning is not guaranteed. While chasing winning, it is important we also take care of our mental health.

Therefore, we as gamblers must really have good self-control, do not expect victory by being too ambitious, just take the victory as a gift from your approach to gambling, it is better to be a responsible gambler by being able to accept the final result even though it is bad, rather than you convincing yourself too much that at the end of the session you will get a win while it has become clear evidence that the final result can never be predicted, so from that I conclude that it is nothing more than you making your own expectations and then being disappointed with the results. Gambling with the aim of relieving stress is true because basically the sensation of gambling is quite fun and it can treat your stress a little.

 That's the greed in gambling, you've given one example of what you've experienced, don't be greedy and don't overdo it, even though victory almost seems to be in sight but it's not certain, meaning there still has to be luck that confirms that you really won in that session. My advice is better to allocate funds that you can afford to lose only, because then whatever the final result you will not be too disappointed especially losing, I think you have to train yourself to be a responsible gambler.

Yes, I agree with you because there is a time for everything and I have also experienced incidents like this, although I can often control my emotions, but when my body is a little tired, my mind is confused because of work and I choose to gamble to relieve stress, but in the end I bet on sports betting at that time. also using multi bets there were only 2 matches left that hadn't started but the winning money was already visible before my eyes but I decided to continue my bet after it turned into a loss and that's when I became angry and sorry for myself that I should have enjoyed the win but failed because I took too many risks.
This kind of incident is very common and almost all gamblers have experienced it.

There's surely a time that you would really be on this kind or type of situation on which you are already having that feeling of sure win and just like you said that on the time that you do feel that you have already that grasps of your money but suddenly the game turns out to be still a losing one then it cant really be that denied that the feeling or rage inside or kind of effect into your mental
state is there plus having that impulsive emotions then it would really be giving out that kind of damage even if we do say you are really that good on handling your emotion but there are really
moments that you would really be snapped and ending up on having that kind of scenario on which you would really be that losing your control and come worst that you might
be ending up on making those actions that you might havent been able to do before.

Well that's right, it's easier to say than to do, maybe some people who say it's easy because they have never been in such conditions and have never experienced what temptation comes when you are gambling, when you win you will be addicted and when you lose you will be curious, not only that, besides curiosity I'm sure you will also be emotional because of the results that do not match it, well when in such conditions I'm sure the control or limits that you previously prepared will not be too influential and it is very likely that they will forget it. None other than that happens because their condition is already very emotional, which is finally uncontrollable. Even though for example they come to have fun, I can't be sure if that's true, because obviously as you said on the next occasion it is very possible that they assume that they will try to make money because there is a chance of winning there, even though it is just a temptation for you to continue gambling.

Basically gambling is just a fun activity with a little luck for anyone who is lucky, even though the current round looks good but not necessarily in the next session is still good, even usually the opposite often happens, you will be pulled by uncertain opportunities. The mental pressure due to defeat is very large, you can be stressed because of that.

Put all your hope on a money you are hoping to win from gambling can be seen as irrational  because firstly considering gambling as a game of luck, one should be hoping on it because if you don't happen to be lucky enough you become disappointed and your hopes shattered. Regardless of how well you think it's possible you win any of such games it's better to not hope on it because you may be surprisingly disappointed when it turns otherwise.

Psychologically it's harmful especially when you make plans on a project with hopes and anticipation on such money and at the end of the day it never comes, you could be emotional broken and if you had made promises, when demands and pressure from the made promise arises you could get depressed so it advised you shouldn't at nay point or for any reason depend on an expected win to be use for anything, until it's won you can completely put your hopes on such money.

It's easier to say that, specially if you haven't experienced first hand what a lost can bring to you mentally regardless of the amount that you are going to lose, regardless it's a single bet or a parlay. I'm saying this because of how a individual is into gambling, we can say that we should be entertained, but there will be time that you are really aiming to make real money, real and big amount of money as a gambler.

And so when you are very close to winning and as if you can already smell and taste that money in your hand, but suddenly things turn for bad and you can't explained what's happening as if there is a air of bad luck that really comes into you and you lose everything. And after that, you are going to felt the mental effect of it and it's going to be agonizing and you might suffer it for days.

The truth is always bitter when you hear them, this friend is a greedy person, even if he won some good amount of money and he feel like his luck is still in him, why not use a small part from the balance he won to take the risk? Also he never worked for the money I wonder why he is finding it hard to sleep for 3 good days, he should learn that gambling isn't mercy on the greed people, they always get burn hard.

Anyways, someone somewhere always get burnt at first and then learn from their mistakes, I have also done something similar in the past before and that's how I learnt and today I don't always take greed decisions, it's better to always cherish what you have right now, and always expect less from something that's not yours yet.

If you are working a job you will surely get paid by the end of the month, but some times this payment still fails due to the company not paying up or other reasons and those who have bills to pay up will have to look for another means before they actually get paid, even government owe workers too but in this case you did nothing, and you are expecting something, like seriously?

that why I say that it requires mental readiness or a mind that is ready to accept all the risks that will be accepted after choosing a multi bet because as you said betting with this option has a very large choice of teams with big odds and still depends on luck because not all the one we choose will win, even the favorite team may not necessarily win because I admit that there are always surprises. so if we have the readiness to accept all these risks, even if we lose, we will not feel regret or expect too much to win because we are mentally and mentally prepared that multi bets will not be easy to win and very few can successfully win from multi bets.

Yes, greed really knows how to bring someone back to gambling and greed will come to you continuously and tempt you. But you have the opportunity to avoid greed, namely by controlling yourself as best as possible and knowing your limits in gambling so that you will not gamble excessively. Relying on winnings from gambling is very difficult and many have tried it but most of them end up losing their money. You don't need to try it, especially if you have seen for yourself what impacts people have, so you have to be able to reduce your gambling activities so you don't experience what people experience.

That is the problem, people think that they could have a life style change because they can get richer but the reality is that we are not going to get any life style changes, if any then we would probably get worse which is the point and that would be a lot worse.

I think it should be noted that gambling is a null game where you will end up with zero the longer you play, there is no scenario where someone could win money forever, the longer you play the more that house edge will get into play and you are going to end up losing money because of it. I personally gamble knowing this fact and that's why I can easily limit how much I will deposit because that is the amount I am fine losing all together if I keep gambling.

That's how greed affects a persons life. I admit that some of us is hoping that once we gamble, it doubles our money. gamblers tends to expect much that's why if their expectation doen't meet, it will trigger to them to continue on playing. Winning in gambling is just a pure luck but some has their strategies to win, if you're greedy, Opportunities will slow down for you and it will leads to your downfall.

Hoping too much is not good, especially if you hope in gambling to be able for to win because that will be very risky for people who have the ambition to win they will use all their money to double that money we should not just put our hoped gambling in order to be able to win.
Achieving profits as expected in gambling is something that is difficult for us to achieve, therefore we must use our money and time wisely to avoid bad things that might harm ourselves.

Cases like what you said have happened a lot among the middle and lower classes of society, they hope that gambling can be a step to change someone's life. In my opinion, thinking like that doesn't make sense, we can see many facts of today's life looking at someone who really destroyed by irresponsible gambling

It is normal for every gambler to have expectations, but what is not natural is if every gambler does not realize that their chances of winning are not that big, they will not continue gambling and just have fun at gambling. If they were aware of it and could limit their gambling, they would not try to live up to their expectations because it is very difficult for them. They will only try to gamble moderately and just let luck come to them and not chase victory. If they win, they know that it is time for them to end the gambling game so that they don't lose too much.

expectations that are too high and already have high hopes for gambling will only lead to deep disappointment with gambling and in the end you will only blame yourself for behaving carelessly. We hope it's okay but don't go too far because after all gambling is full of uncertainty. And we also need to remember that gambling will never change anything, including our lives financially. If you ever think that gambling can change someone's life, then we have to look at people. -people who lost everything, wealth, family and jobs just because of irresponsible gambling. And believe me, when we go to a casino with any amount of money, when we go home we will only come home with empty pockets. Gambling is very expensive and very risky to play, so be as careful as possible when playing it.

Every gambler definitely has high expectations of being able to win, but sometimes gambling doesn't go according to our expectations, causing deep disappointment, and it's true as you said, it's better if we don't have too high expectations for gambling so that we don't experience disappointment. and gambling should indeed be used to have fun without expecting to win so that we can enjoy round after round of games that we like but still use limits so that we can stop when the money we use to gamble has run out without having to chase losses.
