Some will sell their belongings and even borrow money if it meant they could gamble.

That's the severe and worst part of gambling addiction and such addicts almost forget about all moral values that they have learned throughout their life. They even sell belongings of their parents, siblings, and sometimes their wives.

Such level of addiction can destroy many lives and such addicts should get rehabilitation as soon as possible. Because if they don't get rehabilitation on time they'll continue to destroy their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

This one is so heartbreaking;That's obviously the worst kind of addiction that anyone would experience, because that's literally the only option they can lean unto at that point in time.They start to sell off their properties until there's no one of it left for them to survive.A lot of toxic experiences after gambling losses is disastrous to individuals feelings and wellbeing entirely.

When a gambler addiction reach the extent where they will have to sell their properties just for the ti gambler, that means things have become a case of desperation. This is a serious case and it need to be relinquished. I have seen many people sell their properties because they have no food to eat. That is even better compared to going as far as selling your properties just for them to use the money ana gamble. Gambling is not meant to be in such a way that can be toxic. Toxic gamblers do not really care about their properties been sold or using all their money to gamble just to revenge the loses that have incurred.

It doesn't even have to be an addiction for it to be a problem. You really just need to notice two things. 1, if you're having financial difficulties and 2, if you're still gambling despite these difficulties. If these two factors are visible to you, then you need help. Doesn't matter what the cause is whether it be addiction or just some hope to win it big, doing anything at all while having it cause problems for you is a sign to get help, whether by yourself or by someone else.

It's a common action among some persons in the society. They know so well that they are not in a good financial state but will prefer to risk the least available they have on gambling and by the time they lose the money, they become more hopeless. Such people need help because if they repeat those actions, it becomes a Habit that they can not overcome at last.

Maybe I would say that they fall into the category of people who cannot use their common sense properly, I understand that the pressure of financial problems can make someone lose their common sense, but of course it shouldn't be like that, because in most cases, carelessness in making decisions often causes various serious impacts, so simply they are wrong in making decisions to overcome a problem, indirectly this can also be a lesson for us that making probability activities as a place to overcome financial problems will never be useful and will actually worsen the situation.

That's exactly the point. If someone cries out for help, then you can possibly guide them if you have solution to their issues but If you don't, then you can refer them to something that can help them. I just don't know why some people doesn't realize it until it's too late.

If it starts with a sincere intention, there must be a way to stop even though the person's involvement has entered the addiction category, but the healing process may take a long time and also requires much more control from those closest to them. Other healing methods can refer to psychological places where people can be more directed to be healed based on their abilities.

In essence, we only need to provide encouragement to addicted people so that they can be more motivated to stop and the rest provide more positive activities so that they don't remember the gambling that they often do.

Someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to recover, and to recover they must have awareness, while for people who are addicted they tend not to think twice before gambling, they will only think about winning which makes them not consider the actions they will take even though it is high risk. With people who are addicted to gambling, in my opinion they have the wrong initial intention where they think that they will be able to win easily while the reality is not like that. Advising him to reduce gambling activities is a must, especially if it is a close relative, but have you ever experienced where you are annoyed because you have often advised him but there is no change in the addict? I have experienced this and what I did in the end was to let him be until he was really miserable and regretted all his careless actions.

I think that of course financial problems are the main sign of addiction. Everything else is secondary. And speaking in a more understandable language, all dependent people have large debts. It is also the dynamics of these debts that matters. If debts have a persistent tendency to increase and a person cannot do anything to stop the process of increasing debt or does not want to do so, then of course he is a dependent person.
However, it is worth saying that some successful betting players were previously addicted people and struggled with debts. These are very rare cases, but they are still curious. This suggests that even addicted people need to be treated differently.

Yeah,so true!I think a lot of gamblers take a lot of risks before and after gambling losses,and financial breakdown is something that's persistent and effective during gambling losses.There are obviously a lot of negative outcomes after the incident but financially; they'll have to struggle with themselves so much to make ends meet it's also a hard time for that person.

Addiction of everything is bad whether it's gambling or any other thing. For human mind excess of everything is bad, it works well only when everything comes in controlled manner. It's not advisable to go with too much gambling that results in addiction. Once you are addicted to gambling you are destined to lose money in the long run. To save your mental health and money, its best to have gambling in controlled manner and not to do it too much.

If you think you are still weak to manage all your losses and disappointments, then never try to enter gambling in the first place. Gambling is for those who are in controlled of their actions and emotions and would stick to their betting limits, but not for those whose more than greedy to make more money as that would only push them to gambling addiction, which will definitely change their life’s perspectives and everything will only be focused on gambling.

The greedy players gamble the most and have less limitations to wagering on games. Typically, they place the most bet in the casino in expectations for recurring wins. And it's unhealthy for any gamer to focus on winning back what has been lost, it's a habit that sticks to the brain and torments the gambler in a way that fuels his will.

Beware of these signs and detect gambling addictions early on so that you don’t fall in too deep. What other signs do you think we should be wary of?

I once had a moment in my life when I felt like I was losing myself to addiction. It seemed so ridiculous because I never liked gambling and I started playing without worrying about it. So it was hard to notice without taking care of myself or imagining that I could become addicted. Fortunately, I became aware of it soon. I don't know if this could have developed into more serious consequences. In any case, it's great that everyone can see the "signs":

A compulsive need to gamble at any time and even stop doing other things;
Lying about how much they bet or hiding their gambling activities;
Chasing losses, not accepting defeats;
Social isolation and withdrawal from social and family events;
Stress and anxiety due to constant concern with gambling and betting, which can even lead to depression;
Or boredom, always feeling the need to gamble in search of an escape valve to find something pleasurable.

There is a lot of evidence that demonstrates that a person changes their personality when they are addicted, which is why their family members and friends claim they do not recognize the addicted anymore as they behave completely different than what they used to, and this is just one more reason to be wary of gambling addiction, as not only you will lose your money, time and loved ones, you will also lose the essence of who you are as a person.

Addiction of everything is bad whether it's gambling or any other thing. For human mind excess of everything is bad, it works well only when everything comes in controlled manner. It's not advisable to go with too much gambling that results in addiction. Once you are addicted to gambling you are destined to lose money in the long run. To save your mental health and money, its best to have gambling in controlled manner and not to do it too much.

Too much of nothing is good and that can be one of the main causes of chronic problems. If one can participate in gambling in a controlled manner, then it can certainly help him in mental development, but if the gambling is excessive and goes out of control, it will definitely become a mental disorder for him. If this disorder continues for a long time, it will definitely cause long-term problems in the family along with worsening economic conditions and considerable problems in the relationship between family members. Elite family members do not want to mix properly and socialize with members of a gambling addicted family. Moreover, if one parent is excessively addicted to gambling, then the children of that family will naturally be addicted to gambling and this will be the negative effect of parental gambling addiction on the children.

Maybe they also think that by telling the following and asking for help from others, it will only cause new problems such as dealing with the police, especially when they are in a country that prohibits gambling, so this is a bit confusing, especially when you are in a country that prohibits gambling because of course there will be a fear in you to ask for help from others because of the fear that the action will actually cause problems, but I think asking for help from people close to you like friends for example, maybe that can still be done.

I wouldn’t know what that would mean, to be actively gambling in a nation where gambling is prohibited, mostly due to religion. Our Muslim brothers would tell better but, this promotes a different kind of issue on its own. You really wouldn’t be able to tell anyone, not even within your family circle. You find yourself lost with no help of a remedy as this is not only outlawed by the state but also, doesn’t seem right in the face of your religion.
It’s a hard thing to do though, seeking help from friends and it largely depends on what kind of friends you’ve got to get any hope of being rightly advised. Not just advised but, monitor your affairs to ensure you stick to your words on actually helping your situation through certain affirmations. Sadly, good friends are hard to come by.

Yes I agree with that most gambling is prohibited by religion, so it may not only be about the policy in your country but also about whether the religion you follow allows gambling or not, such as Islam that you mentioned which is a religion that is really against gambling and people in your environment who are of your religion will also definitely curse you or maybe punish you when they find out about your involvement in gambling.

I think it is quite a confusing situation because of course indirectly the environment of a religion that is against gambling will make it difficult for you to dare to share your story to get a solution to your gambling problem. As I said above that maybe the solution is to tell your closest friends, although it does not mean they are the right place to be trusted but usually your closest friends will always support you

Quote from: Gheka on November 22, 2024, 09:52:38 AM

The problem is not just about the amount of time they devote to the casino, the problem here is their mental state when they encounter gambling on a daily basis, some people can stay calm to not hold too much hatred for gambling while many others always increase hatred and resentment then fight with gambling. Accumulated resentment and rage are like a neuro-suppressant that counteracts the effects of fear, instead of living and fearing mistakes, the addicted person becomes more and more triggered by mistakes.

There is a lot of evidence that demonstrates that a person changes their personality when they are addicted, which is why their family members and friends claim they do not recognize the addicted anymore as they behave completely different than what they used to, and this is just one more reason to be wary of gambling addiction, as not only you will lose your money, time and loved ones, you will also lose the essence of who you are as a person.

Well, if it is a gambling addiction, it is such that has to do with money, so there is no way the family and friends of the addict will not detect some behavioural changes because it will try to useless the life of the person into some kind of financial ruin. So if the wife of the addict, for instance, had been enjoying some financial privileges from the husband but at a time stops or it reduced drastically, there is no way this will not raise suspicion or call for attention. So gambling addiction cannot be hidden even if addiction from another sphere of life can still be hidden.

Yes, once it is called addiction, nothing is good, not just gambling addiction. I remember a year ago, many people said that trading and investing addiction is a good thing, unlike gambling or drugs, and I argued with them. To me, when we are addicted to anything, our lives are turned upside down and make people around us feel uncomfortable. Obviously this is not a good thing even when investing or trading bitcoin and we need to quit.

But it must be admitted that gambling addiction will cause more consequences because it not only disrupts our lives and causes trouble for those around us. Gambling addiction will ruin our future as well as our children's if we do not educate them and they imitate gambling like us.

At times we did not planned to gamble for the long hours that we gambled, it is something we can not prevent because we have not planned for days when things will happen like that. If you do not know that addiction can come anytime and it affects your overall thinking, you will not be capable of stopping it when it happens. We have to be prepared for addiction to defeat it. Too much of everything is bad like you said therefore we do not have to do too much of gambling. After gambling for 30 Minutes or 1 hour depending on when your bankroll is exhausted, we have to call it a day and go and do other things. We have to be occupied with our life that we do not have time to waste only gambling. Signs of gambling are everywhere and not hidden for us to notice.

Instead of giving the person money to go gamble, I'll try my best to get into a conversation with the person that atleast it can of help to the person. Normally it is against gambling rules to borrow money just to gamble. I'll help in giving the person good advice on how to gamble responsibly without struggling to get money to gamble by all means.

It is better to have conversations with people in this condition, it can be of help to them, than just to lend them money and if the outcome becomes a lose , it possible for the person to try every means to still look for money to gamble, it is just better to try help the person out from addiction.

The best thing to do is having a conversation like you said , pretending not to have money will not solve anything if he doesn't get it from that particular person he/she will go out to get it from another person... so getting into a conversation to advice such person can go a long way to rendering help. Although, to get people out of their addiction is somehow difficult but been persistence and constant checkup can also help... atleast if the person knows someone is monitor him maybe it could reduce the habit, employing some strategies can also work..

Most time some folks don't even know if they are addicted or not , because gambling addiction not something that will just happen once it literally take some time before the addiction will start kicking in .

Because like most of my friends then that do engage in gambling, they didn't even know they where getting addicted until they started seeing the effect, I see some of them then gambling daily , and even when they are losing they kept going , having the mindset that no matter the losses they will surely endup with big wins . Till they finally realise that if they continue like they might endup ruining themselves.

Yes, that's right. Gambling addiction is sometimes very difficult to detect and it takes a long time before they realize that they are addicted to gambling. This is quite common for those who are already addicted to gambling, they actually don't want to be like that, it's just that they don't see the symptoms early on so that over time they become addicted and find it difficult to let go.

Because gambling is exciting, especially when they are on a winning streak they will forget everything but in the end the inevitable happens and they start to lose everything and then they feel bad and miserable. They wish it was that easy to stop but the thrill is what keeps them playing, they often think life would be much easier if the internet had never been invented. because at first they are quite sure they will not get addicted, but often over time gambling makes them addicted. Therefore it is important to gamble with strong control, be it emotions, psychology and of course financial control so that addiction can be avoided.

Good points Sir. That's really a gambling addict if they show signs of that. Those who lie because they don't have money left, all wasted in gambling, they will try to create some money out of making stories like they lost it somewhere, or they were robbed by someone. Those are a green signal a person is a gambling excessively.
I think they cannot control those emotions because they are letting what happened to them to be the factor on how they will react on everything. A little mistake will be bigger for them when they lose, and a little fun could be laughable to them when they win. To sum it up, it's not normal anymore.

Yes. It's easy to recognize a gambling addict, right?
In this story, I just want to ask you that. For example, if you find out that person is addicted to gambling and that person is your relative. He makes every excuse to borrow your money. What would you do in that situation?

Lend him the money he needs, or pretend you don't have any money and don't interfere in his life (don't stop him, ignore him so he can have the freedom to gamble). Or will you lead and treat him out of this gambling addiction?

if the relative in question is close to you, instead of pretending that you don't have money, tell him that you have no plan of lending him any money because of his addiction or that the only way you will lend him money is for his rehabilitation. if he chose none of the options you gave then he is on his own. Sometimes harsh truths can make people realize that they are in deep trouble.
