I believe that I am not a gambling addict because I can control my gambling activities, which include:
First, I only gamble in my spare time or vacation, because gambling is not a top priority if I have to leave work to gamble.
Second. other than that I only play it in my spare time I also play gambling, if I have extra money after fulfilling my needs and savings. in the sense that I do not use money that is clearly needed for gambling.
third, realizing that victory doesn't come in every game, so it's ridiculous if I have to spend money on one game and continue to be ambitious to get a win.
so as long as I continue to adhere to these three principles, I think I will be safe when doing gambling activities. The most important thing is not to harm other people, especially to ignore and neglect the people we care about in order to carry out gambling activities for our own pleasure.
These are pretty good guidance to follow for your gambling endeavors and I also don't see any problem if you remain true to them. Having a set of fixed principles like you, which we follow and gamble accordingly is the main thing to keep our behavior in control. It's one thing to develop and writte down some rules we implement on ourselves, and something completely different to follow those rules every day. That is why I think that having a strong discipline and self control is the key to not become addicted in gambling. Only when we really follow our rules and have our gambling habits under control, can we be relaxed of not being at risk of becoming an addict. Lying to ourselves and breaking our own rules is the first step towards downfall. Reading through the comments here there are most users that have a fixed mindset about their gambling activities and only follow it on the side. That's probably the second most important concept, don't make gambling your main focus in life. There is guarantee if becoming rich with it and the risks are increasing the more we gamble.
The guidelines are always very good, especially in these times when it is so necessary to have control of everything we can, the fact of playing in free time indicates that you can be a very busy person, it is a way to have fun, not bad I also like that the victories that are obtained should be enjoyed and not lose control with respect to it because it would be something silly, what I could add, is that to play with what one has, one can agree to our salary is that they have 1 or 2% willing to risk per month in the case, it does not matter that it is very little, the idea is that it can be taken as for enjoyment only, that can be seen how to get out , or buy a Hamburger , something like that.
Now, I would like to add that a Very Important guideline is to never break our own rules, for whatever reasons, we must respect our own rules, we must never break them , because Otherwise we would not Respect ourselves, they would start dating things go wrong, that's something that can sometimes stop, however we have to keep an eye on it.
Another guideline is with respect to the balance to bet, we are clear that what you have to bet is what you are willing to lose, we should not skip that because it would be the worst, it is what leads us to an abomination the fastest, yes We lose what we are willing to lose, it is better to leave, and now, there is no need to say that I am going to make another little more because I feel lucky, it is or is a big mistake, which should never be made, because it is sure It is that things do not work out, that is the greatest probability, it is also the indicated path for addiction.
The other guideline that is the most difficult to carry out or follow, at least for me and I think for many, is not knowing how to control emotions, emotions can play a trick on us, because in view of the things we do in a casino this It can't be distracting, and in a moment of impulse, adrenaline, we can break all our rules, and if things don't happen, it's the worst , because the remorse is Greater.
