We tend on saying that, that we should gamble only when we've got free time, for entertainment and other trivial reasons.

Even if say that many times, we can't control what's on the mind of the other gamblers. While we can be aware of that, but when on the actuality, the situation changes.

When there's the emotion, the bigger amount of bankroll getting involved. A lot of things changes by that time and those reasons will be forgotten.

But if someone is known to be responsible with their actions, I think whatever is the reasons for their gambling, shall remain as is.

On the time that you are already taking up some gambling or consider on doing one despite on having that financial lacking then it does signifies that you are already addicted to it and this is something that a must avoid thing for someone who had been dealing with it. Play for leisure and entertainment and never ever make yourself having those delusional approach towards it because on the time
that you would be having that mindset then it would really be that making yourself that desperate on doing gambling. This is why it would be always best that you should only play
if you are bored and never ever tend to chase up those kind of beliefs that you do have in mind on which making easy money is possible. You are really just that looking problems for yourself.

And when you are responsible, you don't gamble when you don't have money. Why is that? Because someone will still gamble despite having no money and will do things to get money like selling his important stuff or will take a loan.

That's not being responsible and that's why when you have no money to gamble, better be quiet and just be contented that you shouldn't gamble at all by that day.

Be responsible and be mindful on the things that you are dealing with on which i would say that this would really be the key for you to be able to avoid such addiction. People would really be just ending up on being addicted on the time that they would really be starting on having those kind of approach into their minds. If they wont really be that sensible on the things that they've been doing then they are really that susceptible into such possible addiction and this is something that you would really be needing to avoid in  the first place on which you should really be that responsible on the things you've been dealing or involving with.

People do usually mess up on the time that they would really be having those kind of those assumptions and imagining on things which arent supposed to imagine because if you dont make yourself that
able to make out or do those things that you do believe to happen then this is where impulsive actions would really be starting on and this is something that you should really be
avoiding it on the first place on which making yourself that making acts which arent supposed to be done.

You're both right. By having responsibility and discipline at the same time, we will be fine with gambling and will not gamble excessively. We must control our gambling activities to prevent loss after loss. And if we feel that we have gambled too much and have experienced many losses, we should stop gambling. We can return to gambling again after a few days because gambling is not our routine activity. Every responsible and disciplined gambler will not lose a lot of money because they can manage their money well. They can also get so much enjoyment out of gambling that they are okay if they come back again a few days later.

Responsible gambling to my best of knowledge is staking what you can bear it gives you the room to know and understand your strength and weakness.

Responsibility is half the battle in my opinion because there's some people that are responsible but don't have the discipline, they're ablento be responsible with their money but they end up having no control to when they're going to play so when they lose, they might immediately play again after some time the same day. If we're so concerned about the effects of gambling, maybe we should stop gambling for our well-being.

the vote shows Gambling wins in the poll , but for me is also Gambling because this is where risk is constantly needed and no way that you can assume winning unless this happens.
But on the other hand trading is better to take with knowledge , so truth is? both are risky and yet both are profitable.

Yes, that's right, indeed if it has become a gambler, it's hard to stop. Will be a big challenge for gamblers to get out of the circle. Winning or losing, is not a problem for gamblers. Because, gambling addicts will continue to bet to find other victories until they themselves feel satisfaction. Therefore, it takes the right way so that the Sipede can be separated from the gambling circle.

Realization is one thing because there's self-aware addicts in there that are still gambling and can't ask for help or even refuses to help, the willingness to be cured of your addiction combined with realization is a thing of wonder because you want the change in lifestyle because there's no way that you can ever keep it that way forever and so you have the will to change and rehabilitate for good.

Well, yes, but still, gambling is gambling. You still have the possibility to lose money, and that is a negative result that is inevitable with gambling, but with responsible gambling, you will limit the losses, control your expenses, and also maintain your mental health. That's why, yes, responsible gambling could give positive results to gamblers and the people around them. If only all gamblers would be responsible, then there would be no crimes related to gambling or gamblers committing crimes because they needed money or because of gambling, resulting in committing crime.

So no matter what they say, even if you are doing gambling stuff, as long as you are responsible, you are good. As long as you know yourself, you will not do anything negative or bad to yourself or to the people around you. That's why gamblers should always gamble responsibly and respectfully to avoid unnecessary circumstances and negative results.

you gave a nice learning to me, and it's true that experience teaches better than just learning and knowing some things.
I also first does not wanted to gamble by hearing about other people, and i heard but not followed there advice and now i gamble and lose, they already said that but we followed? no
but after learning but my experience I am sure that I will not be broke in gambling or rune my life, this is because of experience without it I would may have played in future and sold Everything i have. who knows

That is where every change will start. Once he finally realizes the things needed to realize about his gambling addiction, certain changes will possibly come. Even with the help of anyone around him, if he doesn't realize anything or doesn't take any initiative to change himself from being addicted to a better person, nothing will change. His current situation will continue, and he will become addicted.

Quite accurately described. It is easier said than done. We learn from our mistakes and anything that we learn without facing any consequences are not true experience. They are knowledge that can be altered. With experience, when you suffer it on your own you can feel how deep it is. And for that reason, learning from experience is the best method. You may not be in control of everything at the first, but eventually the more mistake you make the more you can learn from them.
But on the other hand, anything that goes beyond extreme is bad. This is why starting with a limitation is the best way of doing things. Whether you make mistakes or not, you are in a limit. Whatever mistake you make does not exceed that limitation and become something bad. It becomes a learning point from where we can fix our mistakes.

You are right and I completely agree with you, addictions all play same role and operates in the same manner, regardless they are of different types and levels as well.

I know some guys who are addicted to smoking over here as well, one of them once confided in me that he's really tired of smoking and wishes to stop, but hasn't been able to, my reply to him was that, he is not ready to stop, that he has not made up of his mind to stop. Then he asked me what I meant by that, I told him exactly the same thing you said here about being strong willed to quit something, that he has not really made up his mind to stop smoking, for if he has, he would do any thing possible to stop it.

Then, he tried to explain to me that, quitting an addiction is not as simple as making up one's mind to stop, and then boom, it's gone. He explained that, just making up ones mind to stop doing something, and then that person just stops doing that thing, simply means that the person was not really deeply addicted to doing that thing, that for someone who is deeply addicted, personally decision and determination to quit doing that thing may never help except God intervenes, which is why it's called addiction, that if addiction was as easy as we think it is, to come out from, it wouldn't be called addiction.

In the end, he seemed pretty serious and I could not help but agree with him, I only managed to tell him to seek medical or professional help since he on his own can't stop, and I believe there are alot of gambling addicts going through the same challenge, I will also advise them to seek professional help when its imminent that they can't help themselves anymore.

Maybe what he meant is that if he plays longer than His usual strategy he faces losses , im which i found a story created , because he already knew that he is facing something like that but still continues what he is doing , that is how losers are created, that same scenario that OP is asking which why you will  never win in gambling unless you know how to manage your expectation and your desires.

Seeking professional help should be your last resort. But the first thing that you need to do is realize that you are actually addicted to gambling. In order to get rid of this addiction, you need to have a strong will which will determine whether you are going to get rid of this addiction or not. I am addicted to cigarettes and let me tell you this. It is hard to quit smoking when you are the one making the decisions. If I decide to quit but I don't have a strong will, I won't be able to do it. But if I really choose to do it with a strong dedication, I will succeed for sure.
I know it's not the same thing with gambling addiction but every addiction does play the same role and could be avoided by following some kind of precautions. First priority should be not getting addicted at the first place and even if we get addicted we should choose ourselves that we really want to get rid of it.

But the issue is that those who are addicted don't have the conscious minds anymore to decipher whether they are addicted or not, they just believe they are doing what they like or what they believe that can give them money. But in reality, they are addicted and it would have tarried for long to realize it. If everyone could just realize and get to put their shits together in gambling, it would have been nice, but the truth is that some will never think towards that direction and the little that would realize that will find it difficult to change the narrative which might be due to their weak minds and others. Those who would realize addiction and be conscious to change the narrative are not much, those are the people who are wise and are cautious of what they do. One thing that is peculiar with these people is that they have their minds and the willpower to say No. So stopping might be somewhat easy for them. It might not go immediately, but over time, it will if they fight it. If gamblers continue this way, it will help them for good.

Also, I buy your idea on external help for gamblers since it is not everybody that can fight addiction and win by themselves. Some can further help themselves by getting help from family, friends and experts in the psychology field, and this might only help them if they also help themselves. As it is not everyone who gets help eventually gets healed, their own quota of willingness goes a long way in fixing them. If it is not there, then the whole sessions and attempts might be futile.

This is the most difficult part, namely realizing that he is addicted, it is very rare for a gambling addict to realize and admit that he is addicted because most gambling addicts never want to give confession statement about their addiction.
When awareness already exists, it is easy to start making various efforts to reduce the intensity of gambling with the aim of suppressing the desire to gamble excessively.
The first thing to do is awareness and this is an important factor in success in recovering.

Yes, the environment is one of the biggest influences in cases of gambling addiction and of course every gambling addict must be able to stay away from all living environments that can make it easier for them to return to excessive gambling activities.
Moreover, nowadays there is convenience in online casinos which means gamblers can access them anytime and anywhere.
Every gambler who realizes that he is addicted and really wants to be free from the problem of addiction must be able to pressure himself not to try to approach everything related to the ease of accessing gambling sites.

I don't know why addicted player will face more losses, according to you.
But I have seen this pattern in myself like I am playing live casino for long time and also someday there is a losing day where I lose everybody I play I think because other days the games pattern was something else and on that losing day the pattern is something else that causes me to lose more often, it indirectly means that more time we play it more it causes loses because of change in pattern.
