As addiction deepens, gamblers may start to increase the amount of money or time they spend gambling, believing they need to take bigger risks.Gambling addiction often leads to poor decision-making. Making decisions that don't make sense financially or personally, gambling addiction may be at the core of it.

Addiction it's self destructive and when gamblers tend to put more effort in gambling they become more vulnerable and to a point where they feel so restless all the time when not doing what they are used to. The level of addiction has grown deep into the society and majority of individuals are victims and I called this type of addiction first class gambling addiction.

Yes but in the end I think gamblers will still end up in the situation you mentioned and that happens because they will most likely keep trying harder to chase something they have always imagined, but yes it is also possible for them to eventually realize everything before they get to that much worse situation, but it is usually very rare for addicted gamblers to recover before they get to that much worse situation, because usually it is a significant setback that makes them realize it.

Currently, the way gambling sites are promoted on TV channels, through street banners, social media and various other ways, it is very difficult to avoid gambling addiction. Because the campaigns are very attractive, everyone keeps placing big bets to win big and even after losing repeatedly, they keep depositing again and again and sharing different types of strategies with each other, thus the number of addicted gamblers is increasing day by day. a gambler who decides to quit gambling after a loss but then returns to it is called a gambling addict.

I agree with you that no matter how many times we try as long as we know how to be responsible in gambling such as setting limits it will not lead to harm.

You’re right but it might interest you to know that setting limits or budget is only but the first and the easiest phase to exercising self control while gambling, this is because many gamblers have set limits for themselves multiple times and on multiple occasions which is very easy to do, but the hard part is sticking to these limits you’ve set for yourself because at some point in gambling, you may tend to forget every other thing, including the set limits as all that matters to you at that point is winning. But when a gambler is able to set limits and no matter how the game turns out still remembers to stick to these limits, they can be able to avoid the chaotic nature and side of gambling as they’ll be able to know when to leave and when to stay which is literally all that a gambler needs.

We are really not against gamblers giving it one or two more tries when they encounter a near success syndrome while gambling or even on a normal circumstance. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it IF the gambler in question is actually doing so with funds he can actually afford to lose. Where the problem always sets in is that these games always gives us these near success syndrome experiences even when we’ve completely ram out of funds or when we’ve exhausted our gambling limits and budgets, thus making some people to either dip their hands into funds meant for something else or even go as far as getting loan to continue gambling, which we know already that even at this point, there’s still nothing that may be able to guarantee the success of the next attempt, it could still potentially end in absolute ruin.

I agree with you that no matter how many times we try as long as we know how to be responsible in gambling such as setting limits it will not lead to harm. The real danger is when we almost always hope to win and let our emotions take over leading to poor decision-making. We really need to avoid using funds that are not allocated for fun and entertainment because it has consequences that may spiral out of control. That's why you're not a responsible player if you don't have boundaries and self-control.

A mistake that is difficult to prevent. Why? We always look for the win and you cannot defy that from a gambler's perspective. They think that the winning chance is near, especially in games like slots, where it shows some kind of winning algorithm that will make a gambler think they are near a winning chance.
It's wrong but why would we defy them with that idea? What if the winning chance is actually there and we stop them from claiming it? It's not like gambling has an unfair probability. It will give back but we don't know when.

Some gambling addicts can do without gambling for much more than one day and all because they do not have the money for it. As soon as they have money they go straight to gambling. A gambling addict can gamble only twice a month - the days when he gets an advance payment and a paycheck. So I don't think that's an indicator.

I believe that the first sign that a person has become a gambling addict is the loss of interest in other entertainment, which he used to be interested in.

The biggest sign is continuing to play and seeing the same outcome and expecting different results which Einstein calls with the name of insanity. Another sign is you cannot stay without gambling even a single day and you always are hopeful to have a different successful outcome. These with other anxiety issues like massive dopamine needed in order for you not to be depressed as gambling will inevitably lead to this kind of situation if you are not careful. The remedy is to try and stay as long as possible without gambling as any day you will feel better.

That's the cycle of life being a gambler. We have to realize that there's no way we can always beat the house. They're the real winners here so if we win some, take time to cash out and don't forget to enjoy that money that we've got.

This has always been the way of gambling, and every gambler should understand that unless they are too confident in themselves, which, in the end, is always disappointing, they always lose a lot of money while trying to defeat the casino, and some still don't learn.

Anytime they win any big amount or have straight winning of about 3-5 games, they get convinced that they have found the perfect strategy to be defeating the house; even if you try to educate some of such gamblers, they don't give you a listening ear until they have lost to the extent that some might turn out to shift blame to the casino that they are not fair enough when the system from the beginning is designed to favour themselves more.

Being confident with your strategy as you gamble is a good one but taking the strategy to be one that should make the gambler go beyond his limits is a no no to me, because strategies are just different patterns we apply to push for our luck and it's no guarantee that it's gonna happen as given.

Yes of course, each time a gambler gets lucky to win a bet it raises his level of confidence the next day but for those that have gotten the experience they don't let it get into head thinking that the strategy they used is surest for more wins. This is a mistake that some persons makes and the next thing you see them going all in and eventually losing all.

Whether we have gambling addiction or not, we should always ensure we gamble without being emotional because that is one of the reasons why we get so loses for no reason. We might be trying to hard to make money from gambling but due to the emotions that are out into gambling, it will be influencing our gambling activities making us to keep gambling in the wrong games. Those who can control their emotions will be able to stay disciplined without gambling anyhow, maybe because the team involved inms their favorite team.

you already mentioned that some other factors can change every gambler's emotions regardless of their ability to control them. For some gamblers who are already addicted we don't need to ask about their emotional control, which will definitely be quite bad.
those who enjoy the game for too long can also be carried away by the atmosphere and forget the limits they have actually crossed. satisfaction from gamblers may come when all their deposits are gone.

There is no perfect strategy for playing against the casino, because the system of gambling is organized in such a way that the casino or bookmaker receives a margin from each bet independent of how this bet will play.

The very notion that you can beat the casino or bookmaker is wrong. Even if you win a big win you are not winning the casino's money. You win the money of gamblers like you. This is how the gambling system works as it is a zero sum game.

It is very hard to play against a casino when it's the casino that is offering the service to us. Gambling business as been a lucrative one which is why we have been seeing so many casinos, launching while luring news users to keep trying their services. In most cases, the house always have the edge against gamblers and sometimes they can manipulate the whole scene to make it looks like we are the one that took the wrong games or decision. Gambling is usually fun when we are making consistent profits without much loses. Addiction is something we need to take very seriously so we don't become addicted to gambling without our awareness

Misconception that leads them to lose back their suppose earnings but instead they push forward thinking that they can easily win more and add more to their earnings, but along the way when losing streaks start to show up, they got aggreviated and instead of playing with whatever strategy and limitation they just blindly take their bets and keep losing.

They realize the mistake after burning everything in their wallet, ends up regretting not to leave while they've got still the chance of withdrawing some earnings.

This means that success in achieving consecutive wins can really change the mindset of a gambler, which as you said, many gamblers feel that they have managed to find a way to produce certain wins, and this is what makes them more aggressive and greedy, which is based on high confidence and hope for victory.

But yes, as we see, often these actions actually lead a gambler to a much worse situation, such as losing the amount of winnings they have received or even spending all their personal money. This is the reason why we must first understand the concept of winning and losing in gambling, because then it should be easy for us to cash out early rather than applying greed.

It all depends on how honest a person can be with himself, addiction is not only gambling, in the life of each person there can be his own addiction, but most often we understand well what we are addicted to, and only some of us can completely abandon these addictions. More often these are attempts to stay within some acceptable limits that will not become a problem for us and our environment.

I'm not sure if a player experiencing addiction can admit it on their own. As a rule, a game addict explains the symptoms of addiction by saying that he can stop on his own at any time, but for now he wants to continue playing. In this case, can not do without outside help.

I don't know, but what you said is true. I once gave advice to a close friend of mine to stop when the last round was over. that's because he had lost quite a lot. but he ignored it and continued to deposit again.
I could only let him continue the game and get more losses.
the chances of winning for an emotional gambler to recover his losses in the game are clearly very small. the game will no longer be fun and will actually bring pressure. that's what makes gamblers unable to think logically.

Whether we have gambling addiction or not, we should always ensure we gamble without being emotional because that is one of the reasons why we get so loses for no reason. We might be trying to hard to make money from gambling but due to the emotions that are out into gambling, it will be influencing our gambling activities making us to keep gambling in the wrong games. Those who can control their emotions will be able to stay disciplined without gambling anyhow, maybe because the team involved inms their favorite team.

Yes, gambling is indeed recommended to be done without involving emotions, but it does not mean that emotions make gamblers lose, but rather emotions are one of the triggers for gamblers to experience more defeats, so emotions are not the reason for your defeat but the reason that makes a gambler experience a much greater defeat, defeat at the beginning of the game is caused because you are unlucky and subsequent defeats at the same time are usually caused by greed and dissatisfaction.

On the other hand, the problem is that we cannot intentionally not involve emotions when we are gambling, because usually emotions depend on what your purpose is in gambling, simply put, if for example you gamble to pursue victory, then most likely you will continue to be emotional when the results are not as you want, meaning that if for example you are free from what is called emotion, then the only way is you have to gamble with the aim of entertainment.
