#5 Financial issues

When you are already having some issues in relation to money or finances then this is where you will be starting out to realize that you are already that spending up too much. On the time or moment that you do make out these kind of realizations then this is where you will be having that kind of thinking that you have that spend up that much. So it will really be that up to you on how you do make out adjustments but actually you can be able to think up well if you do make out that common sense.
When you are trying out to have this kind of thinking and sensibility about on how things works then you will be definitely be wary on the possible solutions. Play for fun and not for making money because this one will be that making you desperate and this is really that bad. People do only realize at the moment that your finances had already been addicted. Regret do always happen at the end on which this is something not that happening at the start and this is why whenever you do deal up with gambling then make it sure that you dont get addicted in the end of the line because this is where shit things happen.

Financial problems can be one of the reasons for realizing gambling addiction that someone has suffered, although for rich people it may not be so noticeable because they have more money and large income to cover losses in gambling so they will find it difficult to realize that they have truly become an addict.
Someone with standard finances or just enough to live their daily lives will find it easier to feel the impact of gambling addiction, there will be more problems and various difficulties in life, those who can still think normally will definitely try to fix it but most addicts cannot realize it and they will continue to bet and assume that winning will help them overcome every problem.

It is true what you said about it because in my opinion, many cases of negative impacts that occur due to gambling are mostly because they gamble with the aim of making money where previously they had financial problems and the steps they took were to gamble because there was hope of being able to win easily and with the limited capital they had, but many incidents like this instead of wanting to get money actually make them trapped in a cycle that is detrimental because they themselves lose control of themselves.
It is highly not recommended to take gambling steps as a way to solve or improve an unstable financial situation, for people who can think clearly they will look for jobs that will clearly give them income and not see gambling as a way to make easy profits because basically this is just a means of entertainment.

Well I think what you said is true that the trigger for addiction is because of the hope and belief that exceeds the word realistic in gambling because those are the only two things that I think continue to encourage them to continue to gamble consistently and even treat gambling blindly and experiencing defeat is indeed not something that can make them aware and then stop, not like that because actually defeat is something that challenges them that will make them even crazier, and this is the reason why there are always gamblers who end up trapped in despair and on the other hand this is also the reason why gambling addiction is a very difficult problem to overcome.

It is undeniable that they become addicted because they really put too much hope in gambling but with the results that tend to be disappointing, they cannot control themselves because they cannot accept that they have lost until all they think about is wanting to recover the losses that have occurred and even want to get profit so they chase big wins that are actually not certain to be obtained.

Those who gamble can probably be seen from their reactions when they lose, I have a friend where he gambles healthily but when he loses he borrows money to return by saying he is still curious and using a joking tone, even though it sounds like a joke but if he continues his gambling session it can make him lose control of himself which makes him addicted.

People need to make assessments of their gambling spending and habits if they want to be able to moderate how much of their finances that goes into gambling now and then. A lot of gamblers don't even know how much they spend weekly or monthly on gamble. Perhaps if they could do a good assessment study on that then they can save some funds into something better when they get to realize how much they use to gamble. Because with that it enables the gambler establish a gambling limit amount either for a daily or weekly spending.

I'm actually among those gamblers who don't always feel the need to track how much I spend weekly on gambling, except on special occasions when I just feel like checking how much I've spent for that month or the previous months, but you're actually right, because whenever I do this, and discover I've spent way too much on gambling that period, it enables me to kinda regulate my gambling habit or limit how often and how much I spend on gambling, and it makes me save more subsequently.

Is not bad to track your gambling activities though, but sometimes it can lead to mood swings after seeing the money you have spent for that week in gambling, especially if you're the type that gamble for the money alone , taking unnecessary risk just win big .

But if you're the type that always follows principles like gamble only when yah free or using money you can afford to risk and stuff, so as you track your gambling activity you will be able to maintain, that smooth and healthy gambling habits.

Yes to an extent looking or checking your gambling activity is not actually wrong but rather it depends on the note or your intension why you are..., me myself if I want to check my gambling activities I make sure to always go with a clear and free heart and this makes me to be more careful and perhaps learn from my losses so that next time I wouldn't use the kind of money I used to... But I think this is a reverse case for some gamblers, each time they look at their losses they will be so angry and they will check the area they made a mistake that results to there loss thinking that it can be corrected so easily not knowing that it is a trap.

Every gambler is supposed to track it's gambling, like they are supposed have record of each of the gambling activities or involvement, because that will make them to know the statistics of what they have spent in gambling weekly, monthly and annually, because if you understand or see what you spent in gambling yearly you will have a limitation in gambling

Why some people is addicted in the gambling, it's as result of ignorant, because if you have statistics of what you gamble weekly you will have a limitation neither you're winning or losing, so that you can serve yourself from getting addicted, it's obvious that if you cross check the statistics of people who wins gambling and people who lose in the gambling weekly or biweekly, you will notice that people who lose has a long range than people who had profit in gambling..so that alone supposed to make us to know that we are suppose to have a limitation in gambling.

Some are aware of gambling addiction and some are not even aware. Addiction is strong that you can't easily ignore it even of you are aware of it. One thing about people who are addicted to gambling, they hardly give up which they believe every game they stake it will be a win for them and if it turns our to be lose they still believe they can still win back and get double of what they lose.

Addiction is very dangerous and difficult that gamblers can easily come out from it easily, that is why it is very necessary for gamblers to first understand gambling and it negative effect when it is played without no self control.

One of the roots of the problem of gambling addiction lies in the hope and belief that they will achieve victory, sometimes someone does want to test their own luck to a certain extent. Until that point or victory has not been obtained, they will continue to gamble even though they have experienced losses beyond their financial capabilities. It is true, it is difficult to recover from gambling addiction, the way some people recover is also not always effective if done by others. Meanwhile, I think if someone has dared to borrow money to gamble, that is a sign that it is time to stop.

Yes that's true but most of them are not really aware of it, meaning they don't realize that the financial problem occurs because they are too excessive in treating gambling but as time goes by the situation gets worse and usually that's where they will realize that they have the wrong approach to gambling especially when they don't even have money to buy food or meet their basic needs, but yes usually that awareness is also only temporary, meaning their focus will be diverted again by winning in gambling which makes them continue to gamble aggressively and usually this also becomes a situation full of despair by trying to chase all the money that has been lost due to defeat, the fact is really difficult to always be able to use common sense when thinking.

If a gambler isn't sensitive enough to note out addiction from the way he is gambling, then when told, he should take more actions in other to get it right before its too late, gambling is not what we can work by assumption that all things are right even though they are not in the real state of their exitance, we need to listen to others opinions and give a look on what they may have to contribute, observe or ask from the way we are gambling.

Some gamblers are already aware of their addiction symptoms but they ignored it until they become uncontrollably worse. I do have the believe that there's no way one can be addicted in gambling without being aware when they are doing things wrong but their issues started when they ignored those early notable symptoms. Even some people are ignorant to the extent that when they are being told about their bad gambling habits, they will not even agree that they have a bad habit.

It is not easy to control gambling addiction especially when it has reached a stage when it's difficult to put a stop and regulate the way one gambles. Gambling can be very addictive when you don't have any means of getting income except through gambling. We can make money from betting when you have profitable strategy in place to earn you some profits. Every gamblers need to focus on betting and know what to do to keep making profits as gamblers.

Nothing is easy to do that's why a gambler need to be committed and focus on strategies that will be useful to earn them some profits even though it's as little as what they used in betting. There are so many ways to tackle addiction but it could be very hard to control when it has reached a difficult stage.

It is very difficult to understand that we are getting addicted to something. And we get addicted because we do not understand it. However, we must be aware of gambling addiction. And we must know the bad sides of gambling addiction. Then maybe we can keep ourselves away from gambling addiction.

I would say that we should not be greedy at all. If I am greedy, then I will easily get addicted to gambling. Also, we should try to control our own mentality. If we have control over ourselves, we will not get addicted to anything easily.

Every once in a while, assess your gambling activities. Knowing your actual situation when it comes to gambling would give you the chance to change your path. Whether you need to stop your habit or you can still contain your games without jeopardizing your funds.

Just look out for these factors -
> obsession to play your next game
> financial difficulties owed to this activity
> mood swings
> hiding from your colleagues or immediate family when gambling
> psychological withdrawal when not in gambling

Better to spot your addiction at the early stage and make a move how to stop it, rather than when you are already in the rabbit hole where you will put yourself in a very compromised situation.

actually novice gamblers also already know and are aware that gambling has risks and addictive effects that they can get along with the gambling activities they do.
because gamblers take risks to continue gambling, then gamblers should have their own limits as a control. otherwise, it will be very easy for gamblers to fall into addiction.
although gambling addiction may not be something that is very difficult to avoid, it all depends on how strong the gambler's will is in overcoming his addiction.

They are easy to spot though most gamblers despite knowing that they are addicted they never accept it. This is the easiest sign to spot, people continue losing and they act like nothing happened. Second it can be a sign of not being satisfied or not staying one single day without gambling, only gambling can fulfill their days and life. Another sign is people keep playing despite hitting heavy loses day by day, I have seen the same people complaining of how scammy a casino is and they are there every day to keep playing. These are major signs and can easily be spotted, there are more subtle signs too.

What is conveyed is indeed the general characteristics of addiction that we can see from a gambler, but those are the characteristics that we can see from gamblers who are quite open that they are gamblers. However, if they are gamblers who are closed about their gambling, then it will also be quite difficult to see it. Maybe the characteristics that we can see from someone is that they often go to top up their balance for no apparent reason, and even every day. I think those are the characteristics that we can see from a gambler who is closed about their gambling activities.

If that is gamblers who are closed about their gambling activity, maybe we can talk to them about what they are doing in their daily life. We can know by slowly about their activity so we can see if they are a gamblers or just playing gambling occasionally. But addicted gamblers can show the sign to others especially if that people can identify what he do or he is closest to that gamblers. But if we can check to ourselves, if we are deposit the money for some time, that can be included in to addicted gamblers although that is not too high. The habit to often deposit the money can makes us to do that very often especially if we are lose the money.

Oh, the denial phase. I've seen many here that has been on that phase as well. On the flip side though, I've seen some gamblers who've said that they aren't addicted and after that, they really stopped gambling when they are out of funds already. For the second one, it seems like gambling is part of their life already and like their smartphones, they can't live without it. Another sign of addiction indeed.

I will add one to what you said. I don't know, but for me, a gambler is addicted if he/she constantly speaks about his/her experiences about it. Something like "I won yesterday, and it was X amount of money." then the same thing will be said after that, and it will continue on a daily basis. It's a bit connected to what you said that they're gambling every single day. They're gambling, but at the same time, they're sharing it to other people as well. I believe those ones are addicted to gambling as well.

Gambling addiction is preventable provided that you are surrounded with people that aren't into gambling or if you're gambling, you know when to stop if needed.
