When you're addicted to gambling, the best advice is to work towards quiting. I know addiction is not a little or lone journey. It is a journey that requires one to involve their loved ones. I encourage people who are gambling to learn to quit instead of managing it. You cannot fight addiction by managing it.

Gambling is a game of fun and not a career. Many people go into gambling with the intention of making an ends meet with it. It may not be wrong but it could end up in addiction which affects your mentality in the long run.

One of the ways that will always help people in quiting addiction is to look for away to get another source of income in which they can rely on. The reason why gamblers for victim of addiction is because they rely in gambling as a source of income , so If they can forget about gambling as a medium of making money I believe addiction will be something that will be easy to handle. That is why it is good for gamblers to have understanding to know gambling is fun eith this you only bet with the money you can afford.

Exactly mate,many gamblers don't even know the reason why they are gambling,their expectation is fixed on the prize.Gambling can never be a medium to make money rather it's purely for fun and entertainment.Many gamblers are suffering from addiction and they find it difficult to stop it,if they had tackle the signs of addiction in it's early stage they won't be addicts.
One of the major sign of addiction is Revenge gambling, in this state a gambler is pained,angry and depressed and feel like the only option left is to chase losses.Chasing losses in gambling will definitely lead to addiction and mental disorder.Gambling addicts that are into revenge gambling don't know they revenging against themselves.

I feel mood swings when I gamble. I have a kind of addiction to it. But I'm happy with them. Because the mood swings make me happy. Watching a match that I bet on and experiencing the excitement of that match is something that I want to achieve. I think we can transform our addictions in a way that suits our interests if we manage to use them correctly. I think the important point is for us to be in control.

That’s one thing about addiction, you’re never in control because the addiction is always in control. That’s why it’s called addiction, because sometimes you just don’t know when you end up making certain decisions when you gamble, and you only get to realize the damage it has done just after the deed has already been done. The best thing is to try to tackle and quit the addiction rather than attempting to manage it because even if you end up managing it for a while, one day it’ll still ruin your plans along the line.

This is why addiction is very difficult to control and we huge to make sure that we fix ourselves or else we might find ourselves in unfavorable condition where we would not be able to make decisions for ourselves. Gambling addiction has it own part which is why it is good for us to make sure we prevent ourselves from any type of addiction. Addiction, when it's has gotten to a severe case, affected gamblers will not be able to make decisions easily without falling back to gambling. This is never easy to leave and that why we keep seeing many addictive gamblers going back to gambling or unless they were able to fix there shits.

If you dont have that inside you, you'll need to reassess or you need to find alternative ways to keep yourself busy, if not that addiction will keep increasing inside you to the point that you'll be doing things that not usual from what you always do, things that will push you to do just to continue your gambling activities.

Indeed, addiction can lure you into making several wrong choices that you’ll probably end up regretting, not just in gambling, but also other areas that people are most likely to get addicted. You’re right that keeping oneself busy or away from gambling can really help to get rid of addiction because it is mostly believed that people are likely to get addicted when they spend more time on gambling, so if you manage to split the time you spend on gambling and then diversify it to something else can really help you get over your addiction.

Not all but there's a small percentage that some would probably make it. But it's a different story for the most of us, we don't make that much but we lose more. And those lucky, are the real ones that make the most of money in gambling but it's up to them on how to prolong their winnings on their side because if they're not careful, they'll lose it all and a bonus of being addicted to it.

Hmm yes that's true, but actually I think the real victory in gambling is when you are able to stop gambling completely regardless of whether in that situation you are in a position to win or lose any amount of money, because in my opinion when a gambler is still involved in gambling regardless of what the goal is, they will still continue to lose more money than they earn because after all gambling is still a business for the casino that aims to benefit them and not the gamblers. That's the reason why I say that the real victory in gambling is when you stop completely, because then you will not lose anything or I mean will be completely free from all the risks of gambling, but that's also up to you, if you are ready for all possibilities and also have strong discipline and self-control then please go ahead.

Yes, gambling is still a business and we need to remember that. The casinos won't lose to us but we are programmed to lose if we don't get hold of that. That's the tip that we need to remember for as long as we gamble so, enjoy some, lose some and win some. That's already in the process that everyone needs to remember at all times.

So how you in control?

Do you have any tips you can share to others how to be in control, I believe there are some folks yeah who are not in control of their gambling life style rather their addiction is , because such folks are the once that don't know when to stop or how to keep to their budgets, they usually go over board . And you know such gambling habit is not encouraging at all because they may endup ruining their lives and tbh you are right the most important thing is being in control.

The percentage of addicts can be bigger if they can not control themselves in gambling and still play gambling too often. That will makes them difficult to realize that gambling is only for have fun and not using too much money to prevents the big lose. But if they can treat gambling as entertainment, they will see that having fun in gambling will not need to take a long time or use too much money. That will makes them just stay in the casino for some time and stop gambling when the time comes.

In gambling many people consider gambling a place to make a profit because they are curious, they always want to gamble, and over time they become addicted. The percentage of addicts can increase, starting from wanting to try after making a profit, so gambling becomes a top priority for them to make money and is no longer used as entertainment.
Spending time and spending a lot of money is what becomes an addiction to gambling, the luckiest person is the one who wins at gambling and uses it as entertainment instead of eliminating boredom or temporary burdens.

I can agree with your statement that one of the things that can drive someone to gamble is because of a sense of "curiosity", and this curiosity can come in any situation, such as when you have just won and think like "maybe with one more try I can get a bigger amount", or when you lose usually the curiosity occurs much more often like "maybe in the second or third try I will win" and usually the curiosity will only disappear when they have run out of all their money at that time. On the other hand, it seems I have to complete your last statement that the luckiest people are those who manage to cash out and enjoy the results of their victory, they are not only lucky but they are also smart in taking advantage of the situation. Back to the initial context which I think curiosity is what always drives a gambler to continue playing.

On the other hand, one of the reasons why recovering from addiction is very difficult in my opinion is because they are still very obsessed with winning and also still can't let go of everything that has been lost, so maybe this is just a matter of time, if only one day they can make peace with reality then I'm sure they can also recover by themselves.

It's not about being obsessed with winning IMO but about being obsessed with money. Well, all of us want to have more bucks and that's why we're doing things like gambling to grow our money but that's how it should be if we want the stable way. Those that are recovering from gambling addiction will take time until they are able to get out completely and that's an admirable challenge and fight for them but not everyone recovers from it.

Yes, that's what I mean, my friend, that is being obsessed with money and of course that money can only be obtained when you win, and that's why I said that one of the reasons they still find it difficult to recover from addiction is because they are still obsessed with winning to get much more money.

One of the reasons why I said that maybe this is just a matter of time is because eliminating the interest in winning is not as easy as we imagine, a gambler must first suffer a lot of setbacks that will indirectly make them aware of the funds and make their interest in winning decrease.

Indeed, you'll realize when everything already wipe out and the bad thing with addiction you'll just keep repeating that same mistake over and over, there's no control with what you will do when the call for gambling already dominated you. Unlike with those who understand the risk and able to limit their time and finances to use, they can make that hard stop and call for the day.

If you dont have that inside you, you'll need to reassess or you need to find alternative ways to keep yourself busy, if not that addiction will keep increasing inside you to the point that you'll be doing things that not usual from what you always do, things that will push you to do just to continue your gambling activities.

Chasing our losses is a given, because the gambler is already controlled by greediness so he can no longer stop himself from just stopping. That is why greed should not be allowed to enter a gambler. Because once it enters a gambler, self-control and self-discipline are gone.

That is why stopping cannot be prevented even if the amount a gambler loses is large when playing at the casino here in the field of crypto gambling business.

When the person is not that calm it can go precipitating pretty fast the situation and the greediness can take the best of such person in a very unexpected way. I think that a responsible person who can control emotions is less prone to greediness or rage because of losing money. In the end though the human nature is based on greed, greed is deep inside our DNA and even religions talk about it, some colleague of mine, a Muslim one told me that even in his religion there is a saying, give a man a mountain of gold and he will ask for another, give him a second one and he will also ask for another and in the end only sand and dust is what fulfill his mouth, meaning death. This made me think a lot and I think gambling is based on such sayings as they, the owners of casinos know the human nature and are basing their success on such behavior.

In my opinion, in your description of addiction you missed the most important point - that addiction has a negative impact on a person's health if it is not controlled and treated. Remember this compulsive feeling of wanting to gamble again and again. Get rid of it gambling addicted person compared to even a beginner is very difficult. This is nothing but a psychological problem. The same feeling a person feels when he becomes addicted to alcohol, drugs, etc.

Of course, all addictions are psychological and they wouldn't have been called addictions if it is not so because it is a matter of our mental health and minds, which is why we should not take it lightly. The winning of oneself is the beginning of the victory in the fight against addiction, we should further help ourselves in preserving our minds always to sustain this victory.

Quote

The same feeling a person feels when he becomes addicted to alcohol, drugs, etc.

I take some exceptions to this, gambling addiction might look similar to that of alcohol or drugs but not in all representations. If you would agree with me, hobbies and the love of money are not the only triggers of gambling addiction, revenge is part of it which is not applicable to addiction to alcohol or drugs.

Unconsciously, they develop an addiction that initially did not exist at all, but because of the habits that are done slowly, addiction occurs even though it is not realized. The behavior of continuing to gamble is also because of wrong thinking such as they are confident that they will be able to win for sure while there is no sure way to win and in fact they are only chasing luck which they should not do because it will only make them addicted and difficult to get out. Someone who is trapped in a cycle of addiction will find it difficult to get out or recover even though they get outside help as is usually discussed, help from psychologists or families who encourage them, but that does not guarantee it either because the main key is in the addict himself.

I haven't tried to make money in gambling for a long time, for me it's just a game for fun, maybe that's why sometimes I just get bored of playing and I take a break. Actually, when I was more passionate about gambling, I also had similar breaks for various reasons, either because I got bored with it or more often because I simply didn't have enough time for gambling. Therefore, it's hard for me to imagine a situation in which I could become addicted to it.

It's hard to stop greed when the sensation is still there. We will only wake up on it when we've got no more money left on our balances.

But it's true that before it happens, no one should be influenced by greed because it's the biggest influence that we're having that makes us gamblers become addicted.
