As they say, it's easier said than done. A gambler who is addicted to gambling simply cannot stay away from gambling and spend time with friends or family members and stay busy elsewhere instead of gambling because they are addicted to it, don't you know how an addiction works? You can't resist the urge when you are addicted. As soon as you feel like you want to do the thing you are addicted to, you just can't stop yourself from it, because you lack self-control which is the reason why you've got addicted to it in the first place.

So, for a gambler to get out of their addiction, they will need a helping hand from either a family member or a close friend, and for that to happen, they will have to acknowledge the fact that they are in a problem and they need to get out of it. That's when a person can give them a helping hand and help them get out of it.

Firstly, you need to read posts thoroughly since I never specifically stated that the entire psychology and therapy industry is depending only on the willpower factor. It's a major reason behind most mental conditions which helped their industry earn big.

Secondly, you clearly have no idea how important willpower is to gambling addicts which is your opinion is what's absurd. Do your research.

In this kind of approach, then this may not be on slot alone, but gambling in general, we need to educate people about it, they need to understand the needful on how to be a responsible and a successful gambler, this is something that is rare to see that some are interested in having an initiative on educating others, especially the young generation just as most people have perceived, some really needs help and direction before they got the wrong idea about gambling.

Another key issue in the process of involving a person in gambling is, of course, whether he has enough free time.  If a person is forced to work long and hard to have money for living, he has practically no time left for gambling in such a number of hours that he can turn into a gambling addict at the stage of the disease.  Thus, it can be argued that, as a rule, only those people who have a lot of free time can become addicted to gambling.  There may be exceptions to this rule, but I don't think there are very many of them.

it will Input to others but not to the majority that gambling is truly that bad instead this will bring interest and curiosity in other non gamblers about why they ended like this and may wanna try to gamble.
people loves thrill and risk so if they are going to be a better person they need to try how this is and why some ended like that in gambling.
there is still some good in gambling (but that is if you know what to do and how to handle this area of possible profiting)

I highly agree with this.  To get out of any kind of addiction, the person who is addicted himself should be the one taking the initiative to get out of his addiction.  There are lots of cases where an addict is forcefully confined to remove his addiction but the result does not bode well, it is either the person commits suicide due to frustration of feeling oppressed or the rehabilitation doesn't have an effect on that person instead the person became more deeply addicted.


True, any kind of parade indeed attracts people but the message of the parade is forgotten the moment the last of the parade is seen.  Unless something very appealing or attractive is seen on that parade, it will be easily forgotten in just a matter of minutes after the parade passes by.

I don't think that it's going to be a no for me, parades definitely attracts people but the last thing that they're going to care about is the message that the parade delivers about stuff and in this case which is gambling addiction, they're better off doing this kind of stuff creating a TV show, look at Breaking Bad and other police dramas, they've somehow affected a certain percentage of the population about how they perceive police.
That's been a crazy trend for a long time already, corporations sponsoring researchers to create a biased and manufactured research results to further improve their sales. Dairy companies are the most notorious that I can think of that's been doing these stuff that you're talking about especially with the effects of drinking a cow's milk, another one that I've remembered is Gatorade sponsoring research about dehydration and how dangerous it is.

this parade at least give an idea that what is the future of most of the people who gamble or simply gamblers.
I think it will make more strong belief for non gamblers that in gambling all people will going to become like this, so he will not think about gambling in future or will stay away from it.
and other members saying that this video will spread gambling to more people but i think no, because there is just written slot, only gamblers or people who already know about slots will know that this is about gambling.

People are really that different to each other on which it is really that there are ones who are really that who could be able to control and there are ones who cant and this is why on the time that people would be able to deal up with gambling then its up to them whether they would really be tolerating their greed or would really be mindful when it comes to their financial status and wont really be that easily be spending up tons
in gambling. Good thing about on these parades on which it is really that good to see that they are really showing off about on what are the potential problems that a certain gambler would really be able to experience
if they would really be letting themselves spending up too much money on it.

Good thing if you do able to learn up with those parades and make out some realization but actually you could really be able to learn on your own
with just having some common sense.

Indeed, one of the unintended consequences is those who haven't been exposed to gambling may be curious about what it is all about. It may lead them to experience and get to know about it. Especially children without direct intervention or guidance from their own parent.

I can't say it won't have any positive effect, but I believe it will be insignificant noting the parade is polished in a fun and ironic way. You know kind of inside jokes from the community, so that is the reason why I have that opinion.

It is absolutely true that gambling can even ruin a person's life. 
But not all people are so gambling and reckless when they see that they are not succeeding in winning big money while playing, that they still retain the ability to stop in time and not continue playing.  But of course, some players can be said to simply lose their minds and control over their actions, and that moment when the adrenaline from the game rages in his blood and clouds his brain and the player stops thinking logically at all.  There really is a danger of developing a gambling addiction.  But it seems to me that a person with a sufficiently strong will and abilities of even average self-control is not very susceptible to such a development of events.  It seems to me that only one out of ten average gamblers can actually potentially become a gambling addict, and in the disease stage. 
Fortunately, most players still simply get emotions and pleasure from the games and this does not bring any negative consequences.  Well, of course, if you don’t count the lost money, which, as is commonly accepted, can be considered simply payment for the pleasure received from the game.

Yeah, the sarcasm is spot on when it comes to the popularity of slot games in Indonesia. The financial downfall due to excessive slot gaming makes perfect sense, but many people still fall into the trap of extraordinary addiction, continuously depositing money to take back their past losses. There's a significant lack of understanding when it comes to responding to slot gambling, leading to numerous victims willing to sell their valuable belongings (like car, motorcycle, jewelry, etc) to fund their deposits on gambling platforms.

What should be a form of entertainment turns into a shortcut for making money, without realizing that many YouTube contents explain that some companies providing online slots are manipulating the system behind the scenes, making it unfair for gamblers. As long as it's not transparent, who knows?

Yeah it is quite clear that the message conveys on how uncontrolled gambling activities can affect a person negatively.  But on the first glance, the parade is more likely promoting a certain kind of slots because they have given more stress on the kind of slots game, making it more attention grabbing, than the "effect of gambling" that follows it.


Actually there is not much explanation stated on the parade, it is just slot game followed by motorcycles with labels for the months of playing.  The parade is lacking of information and banners that will explain the reason why too much gambling is devastating to ur finances.

Limit and moderation would be always recommended but most people who are active on doing gambling would really be missing out this kind of thing on which they do really believe that they could make out
easy money from gambling until they would be able to experience those downgrades or experiencing those losing posessions and then this is where self realizations do kick in. Regrets is starting to kick in
and its a common human being behavior that they would eventually be able to stop when its already too late.Yes, no one could be perfect and we do really commit out some mistakes but
as much as possible we should really be doing on the things on which we do seems that it would be the best thing to be done.

You wont really be that making yourself get wrecked if you do just not letting it for those things to happen. It is really just that there are people who dont really care
as long they are doing on the things that they do like but we know that everything which is too much would be always bad.

I think the parade conveys a message, if you understand the "Indonesian" writing on the front of the motorbike with different writing for each motorbike, the first writing conveys the message that a month of playing slot gambling you still have an expensive class motorbike, the message on the second motorbike they convey after 2 months gambling on slots but the motorbike class is lower because you have sold/pawned the previous motorbike for gambling funds.

The conclusion above, they say that your financial condition will get worse if you are greedy in gambling, you need to set a limit on funds for gambling and never force yourself to gamble if you don't have additional income from your income, avoid using funds from family needs and savings funds.

He is not wrong in saying that the parade missed the actual point which is to spread awareness about gambling addiction because nothing in that video shows anything that gives such a message, it's just some pictures and banners which aren't give a clear message and I'm also pretty positive that most people that see the parade will get a different message, and instead of staying away from gambling or slots games, they would get curious and wish to try some of the games shown in the parade.

So, the overall point is, that this parade doesn't look to be conveying the right message to the people seeing the parade and the banners being carried, and it looks more like a promotional campaign than an awareness parade and the organizers will need to think out of the box for their next event so that they can convey the message very clearly and convince the audience that gambling addiction is a curse.

addicted gambler has nothing to do with uncontrollable condition because it is not they
wanting but since they are already addicted then they cannot control that and you are correct about them willingness
to change because that is the only thing that will help them save from addiction , have seen some friends become
one and yes this is a life threatening situation and sometimes even ended in suicide .

You have spoken well bud, but you can do better if you would avoid repeating same thing over and over again next time, doing this made your comment look or felt like it was written by a child.

Anyways, coming out from gambling addiction requires a deliberate effort, which especially must come from the gambler who is addicted to gambling him or herself.

Lets think of it this way, there is no way someone who is sick and does not agree that he or she is sick; will get better, except the family grabs him or her and force medication on him or her, and you all will agree with me that, forced medication is not possible when it comes to treatment of gambling addiction, and this is because, the addict must first know and agree that he or she is addicted to gambling, and also agree that he or she needs to be helped to come of the addiction, this is the only way treatment can be given and it will be effective, aside this, one can never find a solution to a problem he or she do not believe exist.

If a person is addicted to gambling then not only parades will help to bring that person out of gambling addiction but also the person who is addicted to gambling should have his own efforts to come out of gambling addiction. A new gambler reaches a stage of gambling where he becomes addicted to gambling and for him it becomes very challenging to get back to a normal life. The family may want the person to get out of gambling addiction but if the family tries hard to get the person out of gambling addiction then it is difficult for the family to get him out of gambling addiction. When a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, to get out of that addiction, he can spend his free time with friends or try to be busy with other activities during the time when he is most prone to gambling. A person addicted to gambling can come out of gambling addiction when he keeps himself busy with other activities.

Yes, the best gambling or no matter how hard they try to gamble will not produce if they do not have luck in gambling, obviously they will get more losses than wins, Behind gambling there is a bookie who plays the role of host. Also the bookie has arranged everything to be able to make a profit, the bookie also established gambling to make a profit not to make a loss by giving winnings to all gamblers easily. When players who have spent a lot of money on gambling at that time the bookie laughs satisfied because he has succeeded in making someone addicted to gambling, but it should also be remembered that they are addicted not because of the bookie, but because of themselves who cannot control and limit the gambling they do, if only they can limit their gambling activities maybe they will not experience addiction which causes them to spend a lot of money gambling.

The number of gamblers or the lack of gamblers who are successful because of gambling I don't mind it, but I suggest not making it a motivation, because gambling is not a place to find talent for success, gambling is only entertainment in the form of paid games.

I agree with you, not to have the mindset of being able to succeed with gambling, because this kind of mindset will only kill us in the future. It could be addicted to gambling because they expect more from gambling, even if they say "someone can succeed by gambling, I can't" heyy bro, keep in mind everyone's luck is different, don't force to succeed by gambling by spending a lot of money you have. it's better to start a business or investment if you really want to succeed, if to succeed by gambling the chances are very slim maybe even impossible because gambling is not a game that will easily give victory, because the bookie will not give victory stupidly.

As you said, gambling is just for fun, not for money. That's right, not being able to succeed by gambling. Because gambling can mess up a person's life like you said, and indeed that is the reality of many gamblers today, where those who are addicted to gambling have many problems, problems with their own mindset are obvious, not to mention their daily lives which of course there will always be thoughts of wanting to continue gambling because of the pursuit of victory, not to mention they think about how to pay off debts for those who are addicted to gambling and run out of capital they can take out loans to return to gambling. The point is that gambling can make a person change drastically, not improve the situation.
