Maybe it's a fun way to see it, but personally I have always said something, when in a casino you have some money that you have won and you as a player consider that it is enough, you don't have to start inventing with that money It must be withdrawn, having it in our hands we can enjoy it, we can do anything, the important thing is that things must be done this way, because the casino does not hesitate when it has to take its winnings, even if they are for little money, everything is income for them, because that's how the house edge does it, we don't have that thought, we want a lot of money and everything in abundance, and although that is not bad, we have to realize that the casino is a business, they they also win.

The casino will always have the house advantage, if we play little, the casinos also win little, obviously when the big whales enter, the casinos will also have high profits, so every time we win in the casino we should take advantage of withdrawing the money.

The last few years have been nothing but gambling mania all over the world and this really spiked the number of gambling addicts by a lot! Just in my country we have a lot of new bookies in the city and I still wonder why my Goverment keep giving them license to operate because at this point there are too many of them ...at least in Romania.

Funny how lately even NBA has a betting app right ? I might be wrong but if you open NBA app , you can bet directly from there with MGM support which is crazy. It also seems that USA slowly but surely are adopting new laws for betting in majority of the counties.

The discussion on gambling addiction is something that appears to be of utmost importance for us as gamblers because alot of times, the time we have problems most is when we slid into addictions and that is what have made gambling to be something that is too risky and gamblers not being able to make anything out if they tend to gamble excessively and nit manage their activities while the gamble, this have made gambling to have so many negativity compared to the limited positive expectation from gambling.

We all need to stay away and keep ourselves clean from any attempt and possible addiction because it outcome is always devastating to the victims and getting out of gambling is almost near impossible that is why we often time advice that gambler should avoided any addictions tendency and allays keep away from everything that could put you under pressure to win at all time.

Yes and sometimes even people who have a healthy mindset can fall into this greed that makes them lose back all the winnings they managed to get, this is because humans have a nature of enthusiasm that can sometimes be at the highest level in themselves which in the end makes them too excessive in terms of responding to the results of their winnings which in the end the awareness of the possibility of risk is a little aside and in the end they apply greed, I think this is not uncommon even if you are a responsible gambler, all because of the things that look more tempting that actually more often trap you.

On the other hand, I've heard many people say that it's nothing more than "luck", but they only read about it and don't really understand what luck is and how it works, which means that it's always about "chance" that can never be repeated. When you don't understand how luck works then you will continue to feel that you are "still in a lucky situation" especially when it comes to winning which I think is what triggers greed, and another thing yes I agree with you that the ability to stop at the right time is not taught at school or anywhere else, it is purely about how good you are at thinking and managing things, and I will repeat what I said earlier that the real victory is as you said above that when you are able to draw the line quickly before it all ends in regret.

Sometimes I am quite bored with some friends who are gambling in one type of online gambling such as slot machines where my friend who is playing shows that he managed to get a big win like x1000 in one of the games, he is very enthusiastic in responding to it but I am quite bored to respond to it because he has a bad habit that instead of cashing out as soon as possible but instead continues the session by increasing the amount of the bet, and when he ends up losing I usually smile while saying "silly". And yes the concept of gambling for entertainment is confirmed when you are able to take every opportunity such as cashing out when you are really lucky.

If some people thinks that follow those rules is a misconceptions, they must thinks again because they can prevents the losing money becomes bigger and they can enjoy playing gambling without risking too much money. Playing gambling is just for fun and that's why we don't have to used too much money as that can caused the other problems. The rules helps us to stay in our limits so we don't gets any troubles like the other people. But if you thinks that you are fine without rules, you can do that because playing gambling is our responsibilities and we must takes care of ourselves.

Many people breaks their rules because they don't wants to see limiting that happens to them though that can helps them to prevent the biggest problems that can happens to them such as losing much money. That rules can helps them to avoids the addiction from gambling, especially when they become too often playing gambling so they will not gets the impact of playing gambling. The addictions can comes anytime without people knows because when they become happiness of playing gambling, they will slowly forgets their rules and that will be a matter of time for them to lose their money.

Yes, online gambling sites will always be there and waiting we back to that sites. If we can hold ourselves not too often playing gambling, we will thinks clear that playing gambling is just an activity that we can do in our spare time and not doing that too often. We will knows that we must prevents ourselves from the addiction that many people faced so we will always apply our rules to avoids that problems. We don't have to have a big expectations from gambling especially to make money because gambling is not a place to make money. You can win big in gambling but that will not always happens because that depends on your luck and the other things, depends on the gambling games you played. We must knows our rules better before we playing gambling and always limiting our money and time so we can prevent the big lose. If we can use that, we will prevents many bad things that can happens so we don't have to worry with anything.

Limitation will helps anyone in gambling because they can prevents themselves from using more money and more time to playing gambling and will knows when they must stop playing gambling. Gamblers will realizes that playing gambling doesn't have to be too long as that can makes them lose much money and forget about the limitation. Their financial will not be stable if they already playing gambling from a long time before because they will thinks that gambling is their main things that they must fills. They will not thinks to doing the other things as they already have gambling that can be their focus in their lives. That's why they must always learn and practice about self-control to limits themselves in playing gambling so they don't have a problem later.

A gamblers must knows how to treat gambling properly so they can prevents the trouble and not trying to playing gambling too long as that can makes them difficult to leave gambling. Playing gambling with limitation will helps them to playing gambling without worry with anything and can enjoy gambling as an entertainment. When they face a problem, they can share it to their family and asked for helps so they will have a chance to prevents the addiction because they gets helps from the right person. Their family and friends can be besides them while they are playing gambling and always reminds if they are almost excessively for playing gambling so they can still on their limits.

Everything will go on like that in the long run as long as the addicts still have some money and can still make money for gambling capital.
There will be conditions where only personal thoughts and ideas that they will truly consider to be true even though they are in the judgment of normal people are bad condition.
We will always have difficulty in providing awareness and direction to an addict unless they themselves can start it, when there is will to recover and be able to become normal person again then it is much easier.
But unfortunately it is very rare for gambling addict to deliberately become aware of the addiction they are suffering from and want to be cured, unless serious problem really arises and they feel it.
Problems or conditions of destruction are the final point for gambling addict to be able to have awareness and desire in healing efforts, they will try to reduce and eliminate the habit of gambling at all costs.
Even gambling addict who has awareness will look for several people, including professionals, to help him, but in this situation it is too late because they have experienced problem that is really difficult to solve.

So in essence, victory is only for those who dare to leave the gambling table and take the winnings with them. for online gambling, this is possible by withdrawing your balance and stopping playing.
That's good too and very rational in my opinion. and it also becomes a barrier between greed and an uneasy mind when at the gambling table.

While it is true that a lack of regulation can make it difficult to enforce responsible gambling rules, it is also important to recognize that individuals have a responsibility to protect themselves from the dangers of addiction, and there are several ways to do so, especially given the growing popularity of online gambling.
One alternative is to put age verification on gaming websites, preventing minors from accessing them. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to provide clear and conspicuous information regarding the potential consequences of gambling, as well as resources for people who are battling with addiction.
Finally, the government should consider enforcing daily or weekly gambling limitations to prevent people from going into debt or injuring themselves financially.

They don't want to accept the fact that they already addicted and they will continue to deny it, instead  of listening to someone who already noticed their addiction they will block that idea and will not listen and instead of reflecting to their activities and reassess their gambling participation they will continue to push forward, ending them up to continue losing more money and damage their financial capabilities .

It's a hard battle inside them as accepting their problem is not their priorities but instead they will keep doing the same thing and the result mostly the same.

There's no magic money machine in gambling. We've all seen those guys with brilliant eyes thinking they've solved it. After a lucky streak, they feel like gods until reality hits. What's luck, anyway? A cosmic blip, a smile. Winning is fantastic, but a fluke doesn't mean you own the game. Considering yourself bulletproof because one missed you

The real game is about what you play with, not the score. Your willpower, sanity. They say it's luck, but what about knowing when to quit? The true skill nobody teaches is that. Man, greed always whispers in your ear, promising another big score. The real victory is leaving the table when you're up, which few have the guts to do

You believe you're winning? Do you still play or did you cash out? That reflects your character. Gambling should be fun and exciting, not a method to wreck your life for something you'll never catch. Maintain control and awareness. Maybe you win at life, not just at the tabl

that is easier said than done and which one will know their reactions if they go through the situation, that is a given
we can say we'd do something in a situation but when the situation come behave differently, there's no way to be completely sure.
crazy

People always want to gamble without having to know how to control themselves when gambling, most of them are trapped because they see rich people showing off their big wins in casinos, even famous influencers who collaborate with gambling sites will definitely show off their winnings which makes people not think about it. for a long time and gambling, then when they experience defeat they don't know how to respond to the defeat, instead they continue to make deposits to gamble again trying to recover their losses which ultimately makes them addicted without realizing it.

We cannot make assumptions about someone who is trapped in gambling, even though in fact it is possible that at the start they should really understand what the risks are of gambling so that they know how to control themselves when gambling and not just use their desire to win big like what they see on social media. That's why it's important to do research and learn more before playing gambling because it's not that easy to gamble, actually gambling requires self-awareness and knowing how to control yourself when gambling, otherwise you will fall into becoming a gambling addict. Usually people will not realize that they are addicted to gambling.

Hahaha, I bet in my country, no one has that time for you and even if the law enforcers get to know, they will turn a blind eye to it, not to mention the fact that the gambler may deny it and it ends there. If this approach of forcefully enforcing it that way existed, a lot of stories would have been emanating from it and the results would have been known to the public too. But that is not the case since gambling is a choice by adults and not a crime, that's what any law enforcers would eventually conclude upon. For this, the case is not like that, and if any law enforcer would want to help the gambler for humanity's sake, he will only do his part by referring such to an expert in the field of what he is facing the challenge.

However, this still depends on the cooperation of the gambler, or else, it will be futile. This is why it is good that we regard the willfulness of the gambler, it is not everybody that would want to be healed, which makes it harder. It is not until they get to the level of wanting to be helped that help can be fastest working on them. It is also good that we avoided this gambling issue from the beginning. Had it been that most addicted gamblers known and done this, the situation would have been better for them because they would be cautiously watching their gambling steps and would not let it get to the level that it would become a huge issue for them, not to talk of needing external help due to the madness attached to it.

In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good understanding of how gambling works and how winning works, they only know and only remember that gambling can produce winnings or can multiply the money they bring but they don't know how they win, and indeed victory is always unpredictable, so we say that victory always depends on how lucky you are when running the session, And that means that those who find it difficult to put aside the greed in themselves when they manage to get the victory is because they do not have the right understanding of what gambling really is, they like to ignore the aspect of risk or the possibility of defeat which is clearly - obviously can never be avoided in gambling.

So I would simply say that it's not a win if you basically haven't been able to decide to cash out as soon as possible, because basically even if you have managed to get a win but it's not the end of the session, because obviously there will be greed that will haunt your mind with the lure of getting a bigger amount which is basically nothing more than a temptation that has no certainty whatsoever, and I would say to you that you can never get a real win if you can't put aside the greed in your mind, and my suggestion is that you should emphasize to yourself that the possibility of losing will always be involved in gambling, meaning that you should have a high concern for the money you have won, or you should think that if you continue with greed then there is a possibility that all the money you have won will be lost again, so don't just think about the chances of winning but the possibility of risk must also be considered and considered.

Limitations are a nice idea for gamblers and will help anyone to excel in gambling. The problem revolves around self-control and discipline. Gamblers, find it hard to realize why they can't stick to the limitations they made available for their good and financial stability. However, they forget it's an actively steady action that shouldn't be neglected. Lossing can help a gambler erase his limitations from his thoughts. The urge to continue gambling consistently occurs in the gambler's mind. Hence, he may not get hold of himself anymore, as he needs to get back his funds. Addiction sets in the moment a gambler is no longer in control of his behavior. The addiction level increases gradually, and the player forgets every single financial target he has to practice.

I prefer that naive gamblers get a coach who'll guide them on what to do or not. Gambling urge remains what it is, players need to focus on becoming responsible at all costs. Imagine the pain addiction puts on an entire family or society. It's something we have to be careful about. Playing on our own self-promises can be dangerous, many players have tried this and failed. Read lots of gambling books as a gambler and realized how hard it is to gamble alone, with no mistakes that could lead to addiction. Having a gambling buddy can help us cross-check our behaviors in the form of examining the fresh habits of one another.

Yes, that's true, if you just say it, everyone can do it because it's easy to say, but putting it into practice is difficult, as you said. Greed will arise when our thoughts are out of control, and of course this kind of greed can lead to detrimental things. As you said, when we win, when we win, of course we won't be able to just stop, considering that gambling has a strong attraction with big wins, so what will happen when we win is to continue gambling by increasing the bet amount. Not a few gamblers do that, I'm sure there are many gamblers who do things like this because of their greed.

When you get a win, of course what you have to do is cash it in because that is the best choice to do, it's just that not many people can stop when they get a win, I myself have experienced both, I have followed greed and I have also remembered my awareness. However, from what I have experienced, I can learn a lesson that if we follow greed it will only make things worse, and this is a lesson for me. So during these times of gambling that I do, I very rarely follow greed when I get a win, spontaneously when I get a win I immediately withdraw all my winnings and come back a few days later to gamble again.

I congratulate you if you can get out of a problem like that. because there are still many gamblers who actually want a second jackpot by betting on the first jackpot.

Your thinking is correct and you can play wisely, so you know when to continue and when to leave the game.

Ofcourse it is. Greed is the single reason why many gamblers turn into gambling addicts.
But I wouldn't agree with your example because if I were to win a huge jackpot, I would be so thrilled that I would take the money and exit right away.
I would chose to enjoy the money I have won rather than to try to win more money. At least not at the same time.

We must remember that those online gambling sites, physical casinos, or whatever kind of gambling will remain there and just wait for us to go back. We cannot do that if we will waste it all in one day. What I mean is, there's always a time for them which is why a plan must be created. Limit ourselves to the amount that we can only waste for the day and expect that it will be depleted and make sure that we won't be going back to deposit again after it's all gone. If we win, that's cool, but on that event, we must also have a stop point. Because that's the problem with most gamblers, whenever they win they want to continue which means a chance for the casino to get back our profits.
Last time I hit the x500 again in Keno and I was so happy that I was online at the time it was hit. (not away from the keyboard) From there, I don't know what is next but I am hesitating to bet again. I could just withdraw and savor the profits, which I did. Control and discipline are important part of gambling.

Of course, these tips will not be much different between gamblers and other gamblers, namely being able to control yourself well and be consistent with yourself so that you are on the right track, namely risking money according to your abilities and limiting your time when it is time. play. However, it is up to each of us whether we can and are capable of doing these good things because in the future it will be very difficult to face when many temptations arise there.

Precisely because many people break these rules because it is likely that the gambler is very addicted and cannot prevent or treat it even though he has tried various methods. Yes, addiction is caused by breaking the rules they should follow, namely limiting money as you said, but in reality there are still many who cannot do it.
Therefore, those who are not truly addicted to gambling must immediately realize that the high risks involved in gambling are very scary so that they can limit their bets so as not to lose a lot of money.
