Point number 2 and 3 are the ones that are very key, chasing your losses is actually a mental trap and the moment you fall into it you might get hooked. A lot of obsessed and addicted gamblers started by chasing their losses, once you start doing it you will find out that you keep on having repeated events, it's an endless cycle where you make profit lose some part of it and try to get it back with the rest you have. Gambling for entertainment keeps your mind healthy, trying to make gambling a source of income would definitely make you desperate. Whatever you do try not to get addicted to it.

You're right, this is very common among gamblers the habit to keep chasing after losses, and most time chasing after losses doesn't actually ends well to most gamblers.

Either they endup losing all their funds or they endup with a some little wins after countless losses during the process of their losses chased, it usually takes discipline to avoid such (one running after losses).

Chasing losses will end up badly if the gambler won't stop himself from this activity even if his funds is quite large. Because once you deplete your allocated budget for this activity, you will continue to replenish the funds from somewhere (other sources) even if the funds are for other aspect of your living. It is hard to be strict with yourself but you need to start observing the possible repercussions of your actions.

That is the source of all bad things that continues to happen once a gambler starts chasing his losses and not doing at all analyses of what and why he made the wrong choices of continuing to chase the lost money. If one sits down cold headed and thinks what could have be done better and what went worse, post analysis as they call it at our jobs this would be a nice thing to do for anyone feeling lonely and lost in such regard. You just need to want to stop chasing lost money and start doing a thoroughly analysis of what went wrong and what could you improve, how long can you improve meaning how long can you stay without gambling which in the long run will only make your life more better and it will be beneficial to you.

Whether it’s chasing luck or losses, that’s actually a wrong practice in gambling. Instead of attracting profits, you are attracting losses in the process. Self-discipline is the key. If you continue to gamble with lack of control and discipline, you will definitely make wrong decisions that could lead to losses. Either way, wrong actions beget negative outcomes, that’s why it’s crucial to keep responsible gambling practices at all times.

The 4 points of view that displayed people to avoid gambling from their huge losses. The major key point of 1. (Set your limits) is the most important part that should help gamblers recover their mental satisfaction from loss. 2. (Avoid Chasing your losses)don't should any gambler to start competition about losses. It is a mental disorder that attacks a gambler aggressively in front of losses. 3. (Gamble for Entertainment, Not Income) if a gambler should gamble as entertainment then it will be more enjoyable and it gives a gambler the heartest peace. 4. (Avoid alcohol, drugs, and emotion) If a gambler is addicted to alcohol or drug or emotion then gambling is not appropriate for him because practical life where no importance on emotions and if you are a drug addict people then you can't control yourself in that time if you invest gambling then surely you will loss more and more.
Agree with what you said.No man has ever gained anything by gambling, but a lot of time from his life and his loved ones has gone away from him never to return. If a man gambles and When a person drinks alcohol, he faces many problems.
For example:Emotional loss Economic loss Family and social loss Legal and social issues physical harm
If a gambler and an alcoholic want to get better, they must first maintain their morale and willpower, change their bad habits, and do good deeds. Proper planning and support of family members; life should be conducted according to the advice of a wise doctor.

Indeed setting a limit and sticking to it shows discipline but a lot of gamblers are not able to do this because they get tempted to chase high rewards or chase their losses. This could make them break the limit they have made for themselves...

Pretty much that is the problem I have personally encountered with most of the dices sessions I have had last year, I get with in an initial bankroll and even though I have managed to get a decent multiplier over the initial one, I continue to wager more and more until my bad luck starts to kick in and all earnings start to disappear and I end up in the same place where I started.
It is common for people to talk about setting their limits on what they can lose, but rarely anyone talks about upper limits or the maximum amount they are willing to get before cashing out and calling it a day.

That is the exact sensation of greed and the possibilities of unlimited gains which will always drive us towards losing our deposit... Anyways, one is supposed to treat any deposit as already lost.

Setting your limits is the important before you playing gambling and always stick to your limits so you will not break the limits of using your money. Yes, stick to it will help you realize that you already set a limit for gambling and you must obey your rules if you don't want to see the problem.

But unfortunately, many people lose their control in limiting their money because gambling tempt them easily and makes them keeps playing gambling. They use more and more money to pursue the winning while they are forget about their limitation in gambling.

Indeed setting a limit and sticking to it shows discipline but a lot of gamblers are not able to do this because they get tempted to chase high rewards or chase their losses. This could make them break the limit they have made for themselves. One way to ensure that your losses are minimized is by using the risk management system, this is what controls or mitigate your losses. Just like you said people lose their money because they get tempted to gamble continually forgetting that they cannot always be lucky in gambling. No matter how enormous you think your bankroll might be if you don't set a limit you'll end up losing everything.

Who has no limits, they will lose money, this must always be applied to those who do not understand how important the limits in gambling, they should see examples of how gamblers often achieve bad things because they do not have limits on gambling, in limits This is not only about money but gambling time also needs to be limited to Agra self -control is far more optimal, people if too long in the trigger will be more confused and frantic with the atmosphere, then from the restriction of time is also very important to be safe.

I agree that gamblers should set their limit. I mean the time and bankroll limit. I also accept that gamblers should avoid chasing losses and also that they should see gambling just as entertainment and not a means of making money. But I do not agree that they should avoid alcohol as long as they are not drunk. I am not talking about drugs. Drugs are not good thing at all.

I need to remind you that not all alcoholic drinks are the same, it's better to avoid it or just know the particular drink you are taking. There are some alcoholic drinks that can make you drunk just from taking a sip, this is the reason why it's wise to avoid alcohol when gambling especially if you are the type of person that isn't familiar with such drinks. Everyone should have a standard that cannot be compromised no matter what, there are also people that can get intoxicated just by having a little taste of alcohol that's not even supposed to get them drunk, everyone's systems are built differently, you just have to know what is good and bad for you.
Not all alcohol is the same and it is not possible to say that all people will be more intoxicated by one type of alcohol. I have seen some people who can do risky things like driving while intoxicated. I certainly do not support this because accidents can happen when they are intoxicated. The purpose of saying this is that not everyone gets intoxicated by the same type of drink. Some people get drunk after drinking a little while others remain normal even after drinking a lot. I do not support any work while consuming alcohol. Just as driving while consuming alcohol is a threat to life, so is gambling while consuming alcohol a threat to financial ruin. If for some reason the gambler deviates from his normal state, he will gamble more and can lose a lot.

They must be able to learn from their own behavior with previous gambling, with that they may be able to minimize their behavior or limit it so as not to be excessive in gambling in the future, although losses in gambling cannot be avoided but it can be minimized by our own behavior that determines it.

At the same time, I think that many gamblers who had good control may have cases when they will turn into problem gamblers in one gaming session. And I think that this happens when the chances of winning were very close, for example, when someone won a large sum but continued to play and lost it all. Or in betting: if a guy got all the outcomes correct except for the last one. These are offensive cases and their insidiousness is that they are imprinted in the memory for a long time, and only a specialist can help get rid of sad memories of them.
Absolutely any game can knock a player out of a moral state. This happens even with strong players, for example, it can happen when a player has health problems in life, or he broke up with a girl and came to play again, and caught a long losing streak. Each of these failures adds up to one powerful blow that breaks self-confidence and leads to severe depression. I would not appreciate this, for example, I always think about it and am ready to stop playing as soon as I feel the slightest influence of my confidence or a deterioration in mood. I know one thing for sure, I will never play if I feel bad, because the game will most likely make it even worse.

Gamblers also grow to get used to certain situations and occurances in and around gambling, a gambler who used to react badly or sadly to losing a parley of (maybe) ten games because of just one wrong prediction, he thinks about it and feels sad all day or maybe even weeks, will get to a point where if he or she continues to get that same experience over and over again, he or she will grow matured to get used to such, such that when that happens again after he or she has gotten used to it, he or she won't feel anything like being sad for hours or weeks again.

It's like someone who is taking drug, you take a particular drug until it get to a level where your body system becomes so used to that drug that it no longer have the same level of effect like it used to in the beginning when you started taking it, this is reason why some people start to increase the dosage of the drug so they can feel the effect, until they eventually die of overdose.

The task is not quite easy for psycho therapists who handle problem gamblers. The thin line to addiction has no exemptions. Even the most experienced responsible players can be a victim. That's why it's recommendable for gamblers to always be conscious of their decisions. And as well avoid getting too excited over an early win. As it's one of the reasons behind people's flaws on time and money management.

Man, that's double expense if you are gambling and doing drugs or alcohol too. I mean, imagine how much money you will need every day just to get through it. I cannot do that. But, I am glad that you are healing, that is good. It's not every day that we will see a person being honest with himself and strangers because ego can block those things and they will just keep it for themselves.
Sharing is good, you need to do that more often because that is also one way to heal. You need to open up and be with people who will understand you so that this recovery can be completed without going back to it.
That is a case of multiple addiction,  it's even worse than the case of an addicted gambler alone as such person is definitely going  to get bankrupt at some point,  it must have been a really difficult phase for this person even if he's been able to get pass it currently,  what will be important now is how to stay awa from such happening again because if it happens again it's definitely going to be probably worse than the first one that he has managed to get pass.
The level of addiction is indeed different, some are seriously addicted and some are mildly addicted, and in my opinion those who gamble without seeing the risk side or ignoring the amount of money that has been lost are seriously addicted because they don't care that they have lost a lot of money, they still gamble with the aim of getting big profits, and what you said is true, people like this are likely to experience bankruptcy which is certain to happen.

4 very good points my friend and yes you have mentioned the key to becoming a responsible gambler with the aim of keeping a gambler safe and avoiding various setbacks as a result of the activity and honestly I like the four points you conveyed my friend, and in my opinion of the four points the most difficult for a gambler to do is to stop "chasing losses", in most cases that is what often makes gamblers lose more money which they cannot let go or accept the fact of the defeat they experienced until finally emotions drive them to lose everything, the points you convey are good but sometimes saying is always much easier than doing which I am sure many gamblers also know about the point but when they are already in the game usually the story will be different.

Yup, if ever that person went back to his addiction for sure it's more worse than his last condition as the adrenaline rush is much higher and the needs that he wanted to fill out is really by far considering that the level of addiction is already overexceeded, it's best that once to cope up from this situation better not to look back.

If possible not to play or gamble again and find other alternative ways to spend your time, keeping yourself busy will help to stay away and can lead you not to go back from that worse situation of your life.

One of the reasons why I quite agree with your opinion is because I was also trapped in an addiction phase, I really understand that over time the approach of an addicted gambler will develop gradually and you are right that the initial change is in terms of adrenaline which is simple, initially getting a $ 20 win was very big for me but over time I was no longer interested in that amount and wanted a larger amount and also in terms of the amount of bets that will be placed it will usually increase.

The point is that an addicted gambler if for example they still allow themselves to be trapped in the cycle then over time their approach will usually change and be much more aggressive, previously I really felt that betting with the amount I usually deposit was no longer interesting to me and honestly I don't know what happened to me but that's how the development scenario is to reach a more severe level of addiction, and therefore of course when you have managed to get out of the addiction cycle then never try to play again, you have to remember the terrible moments full of pressure that you have experienced when you were previously trapped in addiction.

Taking a brake after gambling for a long/short period of time is also a sign of gambling responsibly. Mostly when you were in a losing spray you need to take a brake for awhile and continue later. Remembered when I toke a brake on gamble and resume after a month, I was opportuned to win a decent amount.
Like you said, limiting the time and the resources we spend on gamble is also another means of gambling responsibly because when we don't limit ourselves and our time on gamble, we gradually becoming addicted to gamble and it will be difficult for us to manage money and the risk on gamble.
Taking a break is the way to calm our mind. Sure, it is also the sign of a responsible gambler, he knows that it is too risky to continue gambling. Playing gambling should be with good emotion, so there will be unnecessary thing to do. Gambling with unstable emotion may lead to excessive gambling. This probably ends up with big losses.

Well, you take a break for a quite long time. However, it is no problem if it is really needed. Each person may have a different time of period to calm their mind. Regarding limiting the time and funds, it is something a must to do for each gambler. This is the only way to avoid playing gambling excessively.
