The best thing you can do in gambling is only controlled yourselves, you are not greedy and will stop if you win some money. The more you gamble, the more chance you will lose, it is a wise sentence, but unfortunately, not many gamblers won't listen to that Cheesy
We still playing gambling even we know the chances to become addicting will wide open, but some of us always remember that they need to get out from the gambling as soon as possible if something goes wrong.

yes that is what im doing right now .  if ever i won in a single bet i force myself to stop for a while and then i go back again playing after a week or two  . that is to ensure that i can enjoy my winnings and after i spend it all , i will then enter the gambling scene again  to try my luck but if i manage to loose i instantly accept my looses and move on . simple as that   .

the danger will came from both odds and addiction  . thats why you must aware on what games you are playing , better if you can do a research to check its odds or probability of winning . then control your self to overcome addiction  .

I hope that you can do as what you say because you will get tempting to continue gamble and that word (go on, place bigger, you will win another money) will keep sounding in your ear. It's happened to me in the past and without I realize, I continue the game and after some round, I played, I lose everything lol.

But right now, I don't play as what I did before and I still learning to not listen to that sound and I am glad that I can quit gambling whenever I want.

No, addiction will not going to happen if you only have to plan well your gambling activities. This will be possible of you will going to set your priorities. Make sure that your family is number 1 and playing or any leisure comes next. In this way it will help you to control yourself. Besides, one can also have a good strategy like bringin exact money use to bet. Enough money is alright for betting.
Spare money indeed will be okay and not being too greedy will allow you to keep your composure, there's a lots of negative results when people got addicted to this activity and they allow gambling to keep rounding inside their minds, if you can control that and you have the discipline then you are free to take the fun and still have the time for yourself and your love ones.
Exactly.Self-discipline and proper motivation in gambling will really help you to enjoy gambling as it gives more fun and not losses after gambling.Learn to gamble only with your extra amount of money so that if you happen to lose that time,you will have no regrets after.Gambling addiction is hard to conquer so as much as possible,control your own emotions towards gambling.

Hi folks,

Yes, as the title says, I see a lot of negativity here with many people complaining. But the issue is not about the odds. You can win even when the odds are not in your favor.

I will explain: many random people everywhere in the world, managed on a random day to win at the national lottery, several millions $. Yet, the odds were not in their favor at all! National lotteries actually impose a much bigger margin (protection) to make sure they win more than they lose.

The point is: you can win big on a given day, if you get lucky. And yes luck strikes everywhere once in a while.

The main issue I see in those threads here is people totally addicted, investing a lot of money, chasing their losses, increasing their stakes after a loss.

The danger is the addiction, not the odds.

My opinion anyway.

somehow i agree with this certain topic, the more you can control yourselves from gambling, the more you are winning, because the more you gamble, the more chances you will get lose. Its simple, just be moderate in gambling, just make it from time to time not everytime.

Having self control in gambling is really a hard thing to achieve, because in most of the cases the user wins by the starting events. This gives him the confidence level of winning big. They don't realize that our funds were going out of hands having confidence. When the user fails an event automatically he won't get a mind to leave it. He intend to retain back the loss from the upcoming events. When this too won't go as expected the user doesn't have any other go. This in most case leads to addiction.

Addiction will not happen on your first day as a gambler, it happens when you keep on coming back even if you are losing and it incease more when you gamble day by day. We can get out of that if we want to, but if you choose to keep playing, then leaving the casinos is not your priority anymore.
Addiction is not a problem for the first day gambler and also for the gamblers who are all safeguarding themselves from addictions. It means you will be having some control over the dangers of addiction whereas there will be never able to control the odds and it will remain always against us and we cannot do anything about that except accepting it and keep playing along with it.

But, think about the situation of an addicted gambler. He must be facing the dangers of both. That must be really an unfortunate situation, we gamblers will definitely hate.
Right-oh! a person who is used to gambling and he is afraid/mindful of becoming an addict. If they had such thoughts beforehand, they could almost be sure they would never become addicts because they pulled themselves into becoming addicts or they avoided becoming addicts. At least someone like that must know when he should stop, when he has to gamble and when he should think for a moment about the gambling he did.

I think it starts with the odds, having thought of your money being multiplied by millions, which has a small chance, even smaller chance than being struck by a lightning bolt. (Popular belief). Starting it like that could eventually become a habit. Once it becomes a habit, it’s already a part of your daily routine, or weekly, depending on your status. If you keep thinking about it and you cannot manage your day without having to do it, then it could already be an addiction.

I think everyone has known or seen someone with addiction. Even with varying types of addiction, the main thing is that it’s still addiction and people need help.
Yeah it starts with odds, of course people will be tempted by the odds that you can double your money in a short time, and you start playing the odds at your own pace, often with the time you walk and you play more often. of course addiction will happen to you, and have a bad impact on your life
When someone don't have any control over what they are doing and still they love to do it means they will get addicted eventually so there is no solution for this other than self control,if they have it there will be no addiction even if they won huge or lost huge and how long they were playing.
Yeah it seems that self control is very vital. because with self control, regardless of the odds offered, and the amount of profit
or loss that occurs, if the control remains with you then you will not become an addict.

Starting it like that could eventually become a habit. Once it becomes a habit, it’s already a part of your daily routine, or weekly, depending on your status.

I think everyone has known or seen someone with addiction. Even with varying types of addiction, the main thing is that it’s still addiction and people need help.


Addiction is common but how we can get out of from there will be the big problem that all people reaction because if we once entered into gambling then we cannot get out of from it at any time so edition is increasing day by day we need to reduce them in the starting stage.

He can't control himself when he is not in control anymore.
This time he definitely need some hemp, his family should be the first people to help him, a gambler is sometimes in denial
that he is already addicted but people who are concern will see the problem, if they are only honest, they will be help.

I know the addiction is more dangerous than the odds, but most gamblers don't know if they are addicted to gambling or not. The odds itself are not as dangerous as you think because if we can stop and don't play, then we don't have to worry about the addiction.
Odds are working in favor of gambling houses and that is the reason most gamblers are believing that odds are the root-cause for their losses. But we must realize what is pushing ourselves into gambling and what do enforce ourselves to be sticking within gambling all the times, for all these the answer must be gambling addiction. This is what OP is emphasizing us on how dangerous that addiction compared to odds.

Fortunately we can handle our gambling addictions but odds are beyond our reach. I mean to say we can avoid gambling addictions or we can find methods to recover from gambling addictions but we cannot do anything about odds as it's a fixed one and no gambler can do anything about that.

The addiction is the dangerous part of gambling, and we could not realize if we are addicted or not because we are too busy playing the game. And I guess we will realize about the addicting when we don't have anything inside us, and we are shocked to know how much money we use in gambling. But we have a way to stop gamble depends on how strong we want to stop and I am sure if we think about our life, we can stop no matter how hard it is.
do you think players dont know if they have become addicts? I dont think so, of course they know they are addicts, because they are too busy playing? the point of this thread is not how you try to stop. we compare which are more dangerous odds or addiction, I think both are equally dangerous.

They know, but they don't realize if they become addicts. And if they know and realize, why they continue to play gambling games? They should stop themselves from the gambling games IF they know the risk and they realize that in the gambling games, they cannot win the money with easy. I know the addiction is more dangerous than the odds, but most gamblers don't know if they are addicted to gambling or not. The odds itself are not as dangerous as you think because if we can stop and don't play, then we don't have to worry about the addiction.

Agree with that much addiction is dangerous for gambling. It's not only gambling everywhere its appropriate. But to be honest somhow we are little bit addicted somewhere. Like someone on gambling someone on trading and so on. But I know gambling addiction isn't normal addiction. If in case gambler losed money and he don't have money to play next game then he will be made for borrow from somewhere. I have experienced on offline as well on online also. So prevent addiction isn't easy on gambling although all we are not addicted yet.
Not only in gambling but even in all aspects of life,addiction will not really help us in any ways.Gambling addiction can really be avoided if you want.You are the sole controller of your gambling lifestyle so learn to discipline yourself.Never gamble if you don't have extra money in your pocket because that will really cause you trouble at the end of the day.Gambling is not that bad but atleast you should know your limits too.
