Well, as much as I agree with you, I would also say that sometimes, we can't deny the fact like a thing or two could come up that could make us to promptly visit a casino in other not to miss the opportunity, for example, maybe a friend discovers an ongoing game, what some of us term as a sure bet, and decided to call you up to take part in the bet for an opportunity to win some really good amount of money depending on how much you were able to bet.

When I was still actively playing lotto here in my country, I can remember alot of times I has to take excuse or permission from my working place to quickly go out and place a bet on some lotto numbers that was sent to me by a friend, back then, we had a network of individuals who we often referred to as insiders, they 90 percent of the time know what numbers will play because they worked closely with the lotto officials, all they usually do is, secretly pass those numbers across to us and we bet big money on them, and after we win and claim the money, we give them their cut, usually around 25 to 30 percent of the profit made.

Things like this can still come in-between a gambler and their other daily activities, most especially if the gambler is a seriously committed gambler, so, in essence, only playing gambling when totally free all depends on the type of gamble a person is, a hardcore gambler will definitely suspend everything he or she is doing to play gambling when ever an opportunity appears in the market.

Accepting a gambling issue is tough. It's like facing your worst fear knowing only you can hurt yourself. Unfortunately, the house always wins when people chase that high. Despite it, they wager everything in hopes that this time will be different.

The key is moderation, which you mentioned. Gambling may be fun; a little money, a little risk, exhilaration.  Finding that stimulating, non-destructive balance is key.

What's wrong with gambling is how it dominates. If losing is inconceivable and a person can't walk away, addiction begins. However, self-awareness and discipline help you fight back. You should enjoy the game without being consumed by it. Maintain control and limits. You play the game without being played.

Yes this is the reason why gambling addiction can come consciously or unconsciously but most gamblers do not realize that they have entered the addiction phase and even sometimes they also do not want to admit that they are addicted when someone asks. All this happens because they are wrong or too excessive in terms of treating gambling activities, usually they always prioritize gambling based on expectations such as wanting to win so that when they lose they are unable to accept the defeat and this is a situation where they will enter the phase of pursuing recovery which however you can never pursue because the possibility of defeat will always lurk every time you gamble.

In the end yes you enter the addiction phase without realizing it, and as you said that the best approach in the long run to gambling is to have involvement without overdoing it, such as gambling with a small budget amount along with limiting your gambling time, it is always about these two things that are key because usually the disease of most gamblers is when they are unable to accept defeat which in turn gambles impulsively which will lead them to bad effects.

All gamblers are prone to loss, so quitting would not be the best idea, because such person may still return  to gambling with that same mindset of experiencing only wining or more wining. Besides if you gamble with small stakes you wouldn't even feel the impact of losing your money, it is advised that a gambler limits his stakes and spend less time gambling else he might get addicted and even loss some of his property because of gambling. But when you have discipline all you need is to restructure your gambling schedule and stake, if possible keep a specific amount to be used for gambling, and never try to exceed that amount.

People fail to realise that they are slowly getting addicted to gambling, when once something has started to be a priority to you and you give it so much time even at the expense of other important stuff, you should check yourself. Yeah and more over in your case you even losing to such a habit and you didn't know you were slowly getting addicted to gambling.

Gamble with what you can afford to lose and never spend much time on it, like it's been month now since I last opened my sporty app and that's because I busy with other things or I'm not ready for it yet and that's a sign that I'm still in control.

Indeed, it would be better for those who are very tired and have experienced many losses at gambling. It would be better for them to stop gambling, because if we continue gambling, of course this will make us continue to experience losses which will result in us not being able to meet our own needs.

Preparation is key to any activity, including responsible gambling. Gamblers need to set a concrete plan with a specific amount of money you can afford to lose. This can avoid chasing losses and keeps gambling as entertainment, not a financial burden. Gambling can also be very engaging, so setting time limits helps ensure it doesn't take over your life. Schedule other activities and stick to those timeframes to maintain a healthy balance. Gambling should never take the big amount of time for people to have a fulfilling life.

There are always chances of losing. Gamblers only need just to focus on enjoying the game, not chasing wins to avoid getting carried away. Mature mentality and principled mindset are needed aspect to have for gamblers in experiencing the joy of gambling. This is why gambling is harmful for young age people, they are not ready with the turbulence of emotions.

It is an addiction. You are also losing which is another sign that it is an addiction. If you have stopped this habit, it will be good. If you do not stop, it may later has side effect on your health and which you will not like. I have this habit before but I have also stopped since few years ago. If you do not have time to gamble, do not gamble. If you want to gamble, gamble with little amount of money.

That's right! if you have prepared for gambling, it is possible that you will be able to think better about what you should and must do, of course when we gamble, our focus and dedication must be there but we also need to have a concrete plan and time management because we cannot spend all of our time in gambling because we might neglect other important things in our lives. I agree with what you said that we should only gamble using the certain amount we set as our budget to avoid big losses.

It's better to give gambling a break and restructure your schedule than to let it Interfere with you work. I personally don't let any other thing to distract me when I am working because, my work is the source of my income and if anything happens to it, it means there is no more gambling or even performing other activity that money is required of it. Gambling can be tempting at times, it takes only a discipline person to do the right thing at the right time. So congratulations to the op for using your initiative to restructure your schedule for gambling, else you would have gotten yourself into trouble at your work place.

I agree with you that the chances of losing money are very high if you don't prepare yourself well for gambling. Be sure to prepare yourself well. Must be mentally strong.

I would say gambling is not something I have to do. If I think that I have to gamble every day it is the wrong decision. We can gamble in our free time only we can spend a certain amount of money on it. Then gambling will not cause us loss.

But if our mind set is such that I have to gamble regularly. So I would say this is the first stage of gambling addiction. And if you are addicted to gambling, you will face big problems in future. So I would say it is important to be very careful about gambling. Too much money should not be wasted on it. And of course prepare yourself well before betting.

If you are not well prepared to play gambling you dont need to push through yourself because this might lead towards making a wrong decision in your game, most of the failed losses because of betting a huge amount due to losing consecutively, making a revenge wage, unreliable decisions and more. Possibly this might lead you towards to have a mistake you will regret once you get back to your self like losing of savings, people affected with your emotions, and get a debt because you want to play more.

Don't play games that will consume a lot of your time, instead choose to gamble on sports. When you already have a free time, then you can play any games that you want. Rest is really important, taking naps or consume caffeine when you're sleepy won't recover the quality of rest in night time.

And the most important thing is, even though you've change your gambling habit, it will not affect to your winning chance.

This is an advice based on my experience, don’t ever insert gambling on your schedule if you really don’t have free time for it because it will always result to disaster in both gambling and your life.
