Topic: The madness of gambling addicts. - page 32. (Read 15791 times)

There are probably two main kind of gambling addicts. The ones that have a job and have disposable income but spend it all instead of saving
And the ones that don’t have a source of income and end up doing bad stuff like asking relatives or selling important things to fuel their addiction

Different styles

Yes of course a gambling addict can do a lot of bad things for his gambling money. There was a gambler in my neighborhood who used to gamble regularly and at one time his family was in a very good condition but his family was ruined due to gambling. The gambling and drug addict man asks for money at home for gambling and his mother refuses to pay him because the drug addict gambler hacked his mother to death with a knife and soon after the incident the police arrested him and imposed severe punishment against him. Such brutal incidents happen a lot but gambling addicts learn very little from such incidents because a gambling addict is not like normal people.

It's a slow decline into a bad situation.

This doesn't happen overnight.

Similar to other addictions, people get worse every day and suddenly they start doing these things.

If you are looking from the outside it seems like a weird thing to do, but from the inside it kinda makes sense.

The difference between the perceptions is that the gambler has been moving into that place slowly over time.

That is one just one of the disgusting thing an addictive gambler can do, people don't really know how bad addiction is until they found their self inside that ugly situation, and if you do more findings about  most addictive gamblers you will see that their are even worse thing they can actually do base on their addiction.

That man that commited that crime, after he had finished serving, no body will tell him to stop when he will stop, besides the addiction will leave him due to the fact that he cannot gambles when he is serving his prison term, i just hope that most gamblers can learn from this.

When we are gambling, it is best if we are alone so that no one disturbs our concentration while gambling. It really gives a feeling of relaxation playing gambling so that we can enjoy it, but we have to have good self-control so as not to gamble for too long beyond our limits. And we also have to be responsible with our gambling activities because when we are gambling alone, there is a tendency for us to gamble excessively even if it is only a few dollars. We will consider it a normal thing because we only occasionally gamble excessively, and this is where self-control will be useful to restrain our desire to continue gambling. If other people accompany us in gambling and see that we are starting to gamble excessively, they can warn us to immediately reduce it or even ask us to stop our gambling activities.

Many people have lost control of themselves when gambling, so they are the ones who lose more money than responsible gamblers. These people lose self-control because they are tempted by the many promotions they see on their gambling accounts, so they want to try them one by one, but they are not ready for the risks. They may be able to win their gambling games, but if their self-control begins to wane, they may experience loss, and when the losses come more often, they will be increasingly eager to recover their losses. But until the money runs out, they can't recover their losses, which clearly frustrates them. We must not be like that and always prevent it before it happens, especially if we cannot imagine what will happen to us.

That's why we must be able to take good care of ourselves and continue to exercise self-control so that many promotions or games in the casino won't tempt us. We should not gamble excessively because it will pose a greater risk for us, so we must really limit our gambling activities properly. This risk can be reduced as long as we realize that gambling is just entertainment so that we can resist the urge to continue gambling, especially after winning.

Those who can control themselves well can use gambling as entertainment and can avoid unexpected desires that can come at any time. They don't want to experience problems or even become addicted to gambling, so they really realize that self-control is very important to continue to train.

Yes, those cases provided by you are examples of disgusting behaviour, and since there billions of gamblers around the world, we van find many of similar cases in the world of gambling. You can find a lot of equally disgusting cases in the world of food eating too. That's what happens when you explore the realm of some popular activity, and, unfortunately, it will always be like this, I'm afraid. But those are exceptions. Most people gamble responsibly, and even those who are addicted, don't resort to such terrible things.

maybe
but the thing is he still won a lot
I don't have his contact anymore so I don't know his track record, but c'mon there are people who win way more than others without big explanation about it...
crazy things in life.

but yes I don't think this is something you can practice or something like that.

If you can do that and continue not to fall with alluring ways casinos are doing to keep you desire playing more time then you are good to go and you can prevent getting addicted, the kind of madness where you really exceed from what's the normal ways when playing, we all know what are the risk but even so that most of those people who involved in gambling knew this kind of risk they unable to resist the call for playing and eventually getting deeply attached and become addicted.

Those who are good in controlling both emotions and their time that they spent for gambling sessions can do manage to avoid getting hook and those unexpected things that a gambling addicted person does still intact in them that they will not going to exceed to make sure not to suffer with that same kind of addiction.


Thinking that they can always repeat that wins, and along the way they will start experiencing losing streaks and will keep that mindset that by adding more to their bankroll they will be able to recover everything back, but it won't going to happen and their brain will completely be corrupted and starts unusual behaviors that came from their gambling addictions.

As for not wanting to be disturbed when gambling, I also don't want that to happen, because I always gamble when I'm alone and in a place that makes me comfortable. That's right, we can do that, because many gamblers gamble too much. , and if this person is one of our friends then there's no harm in us as friends advising him, because it's not a bad thing. of course there will be many things that will be harmed if they are addicted to gambling, even with gambling which can make a person only focus on his gambling, in my opinion he may not care about his own health, and of course this is something that should not happen.

what happens a lot to gamblers is that they can't control themselves with gambling, I mean most people who gamble don't have good self-control, they even do things or actions that they shouldn't, because if they don't have self-control I don't think they will Pay attention to the losses they encounter in every gamble, and without discipline, of course they will never hesitate to gamble, remain confident and sure of the wins they can get even though they always lose when gambling. It's true what you said, if they have a wise mindset, it seems like there won't be any bad effects from such a large amount of gambling. if the defeat is detrimental it is clear and cannot be avoided.

Usually those cases are people that won a few times in the beginning more than usual, then your brain treats them as "winners".

That means that you will tend to ignore their future losses and only focus on the new wins.

It's not really that they always win, it's simply that your brain sees them that way.

I used to think like that but then I met this guy who won a lot of raffles and stuff he joined
not sure what is in play here but some people are just really lucky, pure mistery
he used to win almost everything he joined and I don't know if there was some regression to the mean because now this has been 20 years ago

Everything in excess is not good for us because we have done too much and don't know the limits. We have to think about the limits so that we can still be safe when gambling and can enjoy gambling. If we go into a casino with the desire to win big, we should refrain from entering the casino because it will make us forget to control ourselves, which can make us lose a lot of money. But when we are lucky to win, it is time for us to stop gambling, leave the casino, and not think about continuing to gamble because that can make us even more eager to win another win. Even it won't be easy because losses will come to us, and the defeats will increase until they can use up all the money we have. After getting a win but not leaving the casino immediately, it will make us frustrated and unable to think clearly, let alone think that it is our own fault for being too eager to get another win. Rather than experiencing prolonged frustration or stress, we should stop ourselves from gambling to prevent even more losses immediately.

Casinos get their profits from gamblers who lose, so if we follow our passion to continue playing, we will also experience a lot of losses, increasing the profit made by the casino. We have to remember that when playing gambling, there is no certainty that we will win or lose, but what mostly happens is that we can experience more frequent losses. That is why we must always remember that gambling is not a place to make money but just to have fun for a while. When playing gambling, we must have good self-control so that we don't experience any problems that could have a bad impact on us. We have to be responsible when playing gambling so that we don't have to experience a lot of losses like many other gamblers have experienced, and we can enjoy playing gambling properly.

Since it is all random, you will have a small amount of people who actually win over time. Let's say 1% of gamblers have been winning.

But it's all luck. It's not like they have some special skill or something.

Imagine that each person bets on a coin toss. Over time some people will have won more than others, but there's no skill involved, simply luck.

It's our brain that creates that explanation based on the fact that they won a few times.

Of course, it is crazy to decide to play against the casino when the casino has an advantage over you, but you have no or almost no advantage. Perhaps there is an advantage in choosing odds in sports betting. But if we take some game like roulette, then this is, of course, pure gambling addiction. What's also crazy is that many players actually have no strategy, just intuition. But is intuition a powerful weapon for making a profit? I'm not sure. In trading, for example, there is a rule: if you don’t have 3-5 years of experience in profitable trading, then you can assume that you don’t have intuition. Also, intuition does not always give the right advice.

You mean bonus?

We do know and it is really just that common sense that if you are really that dealing with bonuses then it would really be having those terms and conditions on which it would really be just that right
that you should be thinking that you would be needing to comply with those rules and terms so that you could be able to cash out or withdraw. The issue on here is that
majority of gamblers or almost anyone who do have this kind of set up would really be failing on reaching out the threshold. If you are someone who doesnt have that kind of
control and being impulsive then you would definitely be making another deposit.

This is something that you must avoid so that you wont really be ending up on miserable or getting wrecked with gambling.
This is why it would be best that you should really know on what you are doing.

Well, I have always said that any activity in excess is bad, it is harmful and can harm us a lot, when we are doing any type of thing in a casino we know that we are going to look for profits, that we should not concentrate only on that, it is logical that when we are In a casino what we want most is to win big, but I have learned that to win big you have to risk money, sometimes it's very difficult and that's what doesn't work for me, the budget I always allocate to play is little and with that budget I want to do many things, among the things I have always wanted to do is that with little money in the slots I can reach a lot and then that money I win can be used for other games, such as poker tournaments in PVP mode, only now the caisnos do not They have that functionality, it is expected that stake.com can integrate such a platform for them, but not much is known yet, we just have to wait, in this case we as responsible people, we have to do everything possible to manage the best aspect when we are In casinos, we have to have our opportunities well planted.

Our opportunity is easy , Knowing that the casino has the advantage and the outcome that we must accept, after that , We know that if we win we must take advantage, we cannot lose Control with the bets, because if we lose control with the bets, that is the same to spend money in a very irresponsible way, and as I have said in several threads, money is the only thing that matters in a casino , no matter how good a person you are, or how good you are in a Casino with the games, if you have a great understanding of games , the important thing is that if you don't win , if there is no money, how can you survive there ? They sound ugly but it's like that, as I sometimes say , without money the party is over, because the casino will not allow us to play with 0 dollars , so these types of things are what we must take care of.

These are people who like to gamble, and they don't want to be disturbed when they are gambling. We have to understand it, but if they are not gambling, we can advise them not to gamble too often, and they should do other things to divert their minds. We can invite him to do other activities so he can see that other things can also provide him with fun and entertainment. By frequently inviting them to do other things, they will open up their minds and realize that they need to reduce their gambling activities and do other things. But if no one is willing to invite him to do other things, he will not give up his gambling activities, and maybe he will become addicted to gambling without anyone knowing. It will make his life start to fall apart and can impact his health too because he will not stop gambling to eat or carry out his daily activities.

Yes, these three things will help someone to avoid problems that can arise after gambling so that they can enjoy gambling as they should. They will not gamble excessively because they know what impact gambling has on them, so they will really take care of themselves seriously. Yes, they can avoid big losses and gambling addiction because they have a wise mindset in using gambling as entertainment. And if more gamblers were able to do so, the number of gamblers addicted to gambling would decrease.

yes, that's true, because I think it's like that too, because I myself have a friend who likes gambling and when he gambles he can't be bothered even if he is called, it's unlikely he will respond to our calls, this makes me think that gambling can affect Their thinking becomes more focused on gambling, and makes them not care about other things around them. In my opinion when they become addicted to gambling, it makes it difficult for them to see the conscious side, and as you said, because in their minds there is only gambling and gambling. Also, with them like that, in my opinion, they won't see the loss they have experienced and it will definitely be a big loss.

I agree with you I think these three things are important for those who want to gamble including us too. because if we can master these three things, I think they can avoid big losses and also with gambling addiction, in my opinion it should be avoided, but with their thinking like that,  in my opinion it will only lead them to gambling addiction. I think this applies to those who have a good mindset, so they can see the negative side.

The many gamblers was not discuss about this in the gambling,it’s the expectation which always hurts in the gambling.If the gamblers had used the 100 dollars as initial,the gambling site will give them with x2 of the initial.But the gamblers will not satisfied with that money,So they do more gambling from that value.Which may leads to the continuous loss of the money in the gambling site.The gambling will not only increase their value in the game,there was also loss in the game.After raise the money to twice of the initial amount which would make the gamblers to more confidence in their ability and cause the negative result.

You are really serving the addicts some raw advice. It's not simple to be addicted, gamblers need to be wary of being a victim. Handling the trauma is not easy. The man may have been traumatized for a long time. Maybe his relations paid no close attention to his self-struggle. Which developed to a wild behavior. Being insane differs and the definition you have for gambling addicts, isn't wrong, but should be used sparingly based on the level of addiction. The man in the story, yes, is insane and needs lots of efforts to cure his trouble. His irrational behavior is not meant to be tagged with that of the addicted gambler who is barely trying to recognize what is with him. Such a person despite gambling, compulsively, may not be called an insane person. As there are lots of irrelevant things he cannot do for gambling.

And that makes him sane. Some of them when they've ran out of money, their urge to gamble reduces, and they may be blaming themselves for spending money that way. But the addiction sets back once the money arrives. I think that's the only irrational attitude to expect for this type of gamblers, not being able to hold money without gambling. It looks weird, but not as bad as the man in the thread who caused pain to his family, in such an ill manner. Due to anger, we may be pushed to say that they chose to be in that situation. But truly, nobody wants to be like that. It's not a choice to be in such a condition, negligence caused many people to put on such shoes. Mental disorder could be so tough that the victim acts as though he's purposely executing his ill actions.
