Topic: Responsible gambling - page 26. (Read 3753 times)

In gambling usually I deposit any amount of money and start playing. Almost at some point if the benefit is realized then I move the dividend elsewhere. And secondly, if I face a loss, I divide my money into two parts. I stop gambling right after the half is over and have no rest.  And the next day or the next week again I start gambling and then I reap the benefits. But one thing I have noticed is that when I am addicted to gambling for a long time I face losses. So someone like me who is addicted to gambling for a long time is more likely to face losses.

Which is valid, even if you realize that you are doing things the wrong way, but you are not willing to adjust. There's nothing that can be done, and even how helpful the people that surround you without your own determination to quit or to stop, then there's nothing that can be accomplished, it's you that need to take actions plus the help that you are going to receive, that are the things that you can use to quit away from anything that relates to addiction that you have, without it then you are going to keep doing things that will endanger your financial and mental stability.

Responsible gambling means that you are in control of everything, having that right attitude and mindset to make sure that you can limit yourself and be able to direct yourself in that right direction that you need to do.

Obviously their love ones will voluntarily provide help.  They can also ask their friends for advice and suggestion on how to fix his gambling addiction.  He can also pay for professional to aid him on his rehabilitation.


He can look for online services or as advice from groups that deals with gambling addiction.  But the nearest person that can help are friends and relatives.


I agree that realization is the key to start rehabilitating oneself and be cured of gambling addiction.  Without personal admission, a gambling addict will never realize that he is addicted and will continue to be addicted to gambling without realizing that he is deeply addicted to the gambling activities.

yes, we deny ourselves to we are addicted, I have seen my friends who deny themselves that they are not addicted to gambling but don't able to resist with it for a day.
there are many organizations to get out of addiction there is too much ways to get out of it, we can talk to people by calling, chatting, etc. if someone don't have people to seek support.
I really liked the idea of the organizations they are really helpful to get out of addiction.

I agree to this. The first thing it should do in order to avoid addiction is to realize that you are actually addicted. Most of the time we deny that we are addicted to something. And by the time we realize that we are actually addicted, it is already too late. And by the time you realize it you need to have strong will to come out of it.
If you don't have the strong will, you won't be able to come out of it. Many people like professionals can give you directions, medications, alternative ways of avoiding that addiction but in the end it all comes down to you. If you don't decide it on your own, no one else can help you.
Realization is the key but in order to unlock it you need self-willingness to do it in the first place.

The first step to beating an addiction is to first realize that there is an addiction and after that ,you move to outline the level of addiction and for sure many of us may not be able to handle the addiction ourselves and the reason why we may need the help of our family or even a doctor.

Many times there are some other levels of addictions that the addict will have to change his environment since the majority of addicts in gambling are due to easy access to casino houses.

There are professionals who are based on this aspect of talking people out of gambling addiction; it doesn't just take talk; it also needs some emotional support to move that to another level, which could help them get out of the addiction real quick. They suggest possible ways in which the person can get out of it based on how strong the addiction is; that's how the recommendation will also vary.
 
And yes, family and friends play a very vital role in taking one out of gambling addiction because all they need is attention and support, which only those who are close to them can give them, and they need to keep them very busy and distracted from gambling in order to limit the time that they could possibly spend at the casino or traditional gambling shops, from which they can get their minds off gambling.

Having responsibility and discipline in gambling is difficult. We all admit it but we can still learn and practice it. Even those who are experienced are still trying to train it. So we also have to be able to practice it until we really master it.

Playing gambling responsibly and with discipline can prevent us from gambling excessively. But it's normal if one day we feel unable to do it because we are human. And if we are in such a situation, we should stop our gambling activities for a while.

There are times when we have to change for our own good when playing gambling. And I think we don't want to be addicted to gambling so we can focus on learning responsibility and discipline while gambling.

Well, as much as both of you are right, I would say that it makes no sense for us to want to make gambling appear like one special sacred something or activity that must be carefully done, else, doing it carelessly might result in some really bad stuff.

As much as I believe for sure that, we should be careful when gambling, we shouldn't also do away with the aspect of just having fun.
I actually think that, the root cause of all the bad energy some gamblers are showing is possibly because, most gamblers have stopped having fun gambling, every body just wanna gamble and make money through it, and this is where the problems lies, a gambler who will prioritize having fun over making money or profit in gambling will hardly ever lose money he or she can't afford to lose, or gamble irresponsibly.

You're right there, dude. Then maybe a gambler wouldn't be a gambler if he didn't have money to gamble with, right? It can't be considered if you're just watching gamblers in a casino too.

Having the habit of having self-discipline and knowing how to control your emotions will take you far away from having a gambling addiction. And having limits on the money you gamble here is also important to avoid a large amount of gambling losses.

You're right, some gamblers find it very difficult to discipline the way they lived their lives, i still wonder how they could ended up gambling responsibly in this kind of situation, we cannot keep on with doing things the wrong way and expect the best and maximum result out of it, gambling is what we must do with utmost care and caution to how we engage it, that our bad habits must be first dealt with in other not to affect our gambling lifestyle.

Trading is more honourable than gambling in society, that's just the fact, and if people are trading, many will not even know and they can leave it silently the same way without making the noise. I have seen a lot of people participate in trading and leave quietly after some losses, it was easy for them because it is not the same business model as gambling. The only aspect of trading that is similar to gambling is "options trading," and even with that, people find it easier to quit it, unlike the gambling that has to do with games and others. These are gambling schemes that could be approached with very little money in the view that the gambler would make heaven and earth earnings in the very shortest time possible. Such can trick you into depositing little by little into it, and before you know it, you have wasted a lot.

Some don't even need to go through the account opening and verification that traders do, and before they know it, they get to waste money over and over again. Also, the fact that games are more promising and cheap to predict for many makes matters worse, not knowing that it is not as easy as it seems, only that it looks like that from the surface. These are the main causes of the emotions as people continue to view it as easy and as what they can still approach to make big money easily. But over time, they are already addicted and become irresponsible if care is not taken. They can however change the narrative and everything will be fine if they become responsible and work in the opposite of that view.

A budget in gambling is like an ideal thing - it does not exist when it comes to problem gamblers. Pro poker players might be doing that but your amateur slots lover does not take budget into account, they just burn their money as and when they can. The more they see the reels roll the more they will feed notes into the slit.

Breaks in gambling are common among all - but that is only to tide over the times when they are broke and out of money to play anything. Once the get money in hands they are off to gambling again.

Hence to be responsible, you need discipline and a change of habits.

What they commonly know is to gamble and have fun then gamble what they can afford to lose. I also agree with that in some instances but when I think on other side then there's no really sense at all on why we gamble if we don't have any aim like winning since for sure we can get bored with that. Winning some amount can make us enjoy and we cannot get that if we are losing.

Maybe to be called at least a responsible gambler is to know our limit which like settling up our selves then also just like other say have self control or know when to quit since for that we will not get destroyed if bad luck came since we are already settled already especially for the profit we get at that time we are playing. Trying to recover while you are in bad shape is not totally good since we could loss more if we push more harder to regain back. What best thing to do is to accept defeat and try again next time.

Yes, there are many meanings to responsible gambling. That's why everyone must understand the meaning of the word responsible, for example, don't be careless when gambling and use money that is ready to be lost. This means using money that is not used, aka not money for living needs, so you have to be responsible. what we spend with that money and gamble in gambling. the most important thing is to control it.

Many people misunderstand responsible gambling, my view on responsible gambling is to understand the risks in gambling, sometimes those who gamble never accept the risk of losing, that's why emotional feelings begin to grow, trying to recover all the money that has been lost from gambling, so that playing gambling outside the limits loses even more money in gambling so it is not responsible for that behavior.

Who can provide help? Where can one find help? Realization is what they need. For someone who is addicted to gambling and has reached the point of selling assets just to fuel their addiction, they must realize that their actions have consequences, especially for their loved ones. This realization can lead them to a better understanding of their situation and help them decide to change and seek the necessary help to overcome their addiction.

This is not about taking break anymore and your friends needs a professional help and I hope he can still recover from this. Being responsible is not easy at all as many remains emotional and they fall on the trap of gambling addiction. Continue to gamble within a budget, know when to stop and know when to gamble at the right time, this may be challenging at first but if you will be able to be more responsible, your gambling journey will be more meaningful.

But other people take way to much since some have thoughts that they can easily earn a living here especially that when they win a huge amount of money by such playing those gambling games they like. But they didn't realize that they are just been caught up by wrong expectation since maybe they are just been influence by people who promote this site to them or look forward to much since they expect to much on the gambling site they are playing on. This is dangerous approach especially if they think about more larger and think that they can make this as a career since for sure that it can ruin totally their life if they became addicted to it.

Gambling responsibly is common word but other didn't simply follow the meaning of it that's the reason why they had been experiencing the bad effect of gambling instead of enjoying it and have good encounters to their fellow gamblers.

You mentioned two important things which are;
Control of Emotions:
Someone is to gamble or trade should be able to control their emotions. You shouldn't be overly provoked to chase losses and winnings should be a bait to a woeful ending. Emotions is very strong and that is why it is said that gambling is not for everyone and also trading is not for everyone, but for people with strong emotions and people who can handle their loses and contend their winnings.
Control of Budget:
One might have very good amount of money to gamble but if they do not handle it well, it will vanish totally and someone who do not have such amount of money will even make good gambling with more than them. Control of budget and risk management is a necessary skill for gamblers.

You would really be putting up yourself on such tough situation if you wont really be that mindful on the things that you would really be dealing with. It is really just that when it comes on being responsible then we shouldnt really be just that focusing into single thing. When it comes on being responsible  then it would really be that entirely be depending on you whether you would really be that making things or acts
on which it would really be that something that will really be making yourself do the right thing or would really be just that not simply minding about any other things.
Dealing up with gambling then you should really that make yourself that responsible because if not then you would really be having yourself that kind of problem on which you would
really be putting up yourself on such situation or really that too hard on doing such thing once that financial would really be that mainly affected.
