When you reach that limit, that's when you're gonna know that what you're saying is going to be difficult because a person that's continuously losing is going to be mad about their losses and they don't think straight so they do what they think is the solution to their lose streak which would be to play again and repeat the mistake. This thread wouldn't be this long if the pattern isn't happening to every gambler out there, the problem with this repetition of pattern is something should've been resolved during the childhood or formative years of that gambler, it's a habit that's subconsciously developed from different activities combined with different experience so it's difficult to do any kind of rehabilitation when fully formed but once taken care of, addiction or problems arising from that habit is going to not be an issue anymore.

That's right, you shouldn't gamble continuously, because it can affect our thinking for the worse, so if you've been gambling for a long time, it's better to stop and rest, if you really want to gamble again, it's better to go on a day that might be lucky. to prevent the loss of large amounts of money is completely up to us, if we don't want to experience that, of course we have to do what you say, but if they really want to lose a lot of money then go ahead, that's their own right, but what you have to remember defeat will dominate more than victory.

The truth is that it is like that, it is also impossible to make money consistently by gambling, it is absolutely impossible. If you get losses consistently, that can be guaranteed. Only people who have a good mindset are not easily tempted by promotions offered by casinos, because many gamblers are easily tempted by promotions and advertisements for wins that are said to be easy to get. And in my opinion, you shouldn't remember losing at gambling or make a big deal about it, and don't regret it because there's no point, it won't turn things around for the better.

Indeed, they should not gamble continuously because if they do something like that then it is very likely that they will only get into trouble, especially financially. with those who always continue to gamble, I am sure that the wins they get are not much and are not comparable to the losses they get more often. therefore I hope they can have the awareness to see that gambling is a game of chance, there is no guaranteed win that is easy to get, gambling beyond the limits is not a good thing, because that will only result in losses, and You should not gamble excessively, because anything excessive is not good, especially gambling.

It's true, people who are addicted to gambling will not look at this, they will only think about the wins they will get, there are also some who may believe that behind many losses there must be big wins, I myself am not sure about that, because if You are lucky in gambling, you don't need to experience a lot of losses first.

These are very good questions you have developed to ask yourself continuously in a daily basis in order to spot possible disfunctional behaviors being developed inside your self regards your gambling habits. By doing this, you are actually evolving your self-knowledge skills. You are understanding and knowing better how the personal and subjective interaction between body and soul (or mind) work. Problems start in mind, and only after they manifest on the body.

What happens is that most people don't pay attention to problems when they are being built exclusively on the mental sphere during their initial state, rather they only spot something is going wrong when such problems are already manifested on the body, through excessive sweat, headaches, trembling, heart acceleration... And then these symptoms affect the mind even more, creating further negative symptoms, until the organism reaches a total breakdown point.

We have to monitor ourselves and make sure things are not going out of control, so we can remain closer as possible to a homeostatic level of wellfare. Besides the points you made on your post, I would also add another one: do I keep thinking about gambling when people are talking to me about general subjects? Is it affecting my concentration and focus on another activities, due to being unable to stop thinking about gambling meanwhile?

When a gambler is left without being attended to his level of addiction would increase and expand to a stage where he'd be acting strange. It's important for people to observe their relatives and friends to make sure that they are gambling with a stable mind. Committing crime to generate money for gambling is a bad stage of gambling. Healing such a gambler would cost the family lots of money in the process. As it'll take a long time till he gets free of his problem gambling. As you said, it's a chronic disease, both the therapist and the family need to exercise some patience with the gambler. He's no longer in same thinking level with everyone else. All he's about, gamble.

Instead of letting anyone get to this situation, it's better to call them to mind in the early stages of their addiction. And help the gambler, recover his sense easily. Why gamblers commit suicide is mainly due to compilation of loans they've borrowed to gamble. It leaves the player restless, with no valid means of paying off his debts. Whatever is the trouble, we all know that the player is undergoing a very serious emotional trauma. The trauma is same as that of the drug addict. That's why the gambler tend to act as one. Self-inflicted problems, needs the collaboration of the addict to heal him. Trying to share some advice may not be effective. As the gambler feels he's alright and claim nothing is wrong with him. Even after the person has been cured of his problem gambling, they still act strange as if they'll go back to gambling addiction. I think it's better people check up on any gambler close to them and observe their behaviors.

Yes. Some of the main things I’d pay attention to if I suspected of being addicted to gambling are like this:
- do I do other activities? Do I talk to people about other things besides gambling?
- is gambling getting in front of other important activities in my life?
- how long can I stay without gambling?
- staying without gambling gives me anxiety?
- do I dream about gambling (winning or losing)?

Many others of course but this looks like a good place to start

Many gamblers have hard such expensive experience, from following such gambling partten for God sake, I don't see any need to continue gambling when I have already reached my set limits and achieve the main aim, such as winning at the stand because that is when I need to apply the most needed caution cause at that moment you are already over stepping the boundaries and will eventually end on the negative side of things.

But those who are already addicted to gambling can not follow such partten as their tend to get overly carried away by they addictions that make them to over step their boundaries without they knowledge since the controlled by their addictions.

Of course, addiction has its own level, there are those who are still stagnant in bets that are not too big but they do it very often and there are also those who have entered a high level which means that their level of addiction is chronic and they will not find it difficult to make things out of control as an alternative such as stealing or other crimes just to finance their gambling activities, And it is true that this is the scary thing about gambling addiction, not only the visible bad effects but they will also experience enormous mental and psychological pressure, and the proof is that it is not uncommon for us to see people who even go crazy or commit suicide because they are not strong with the mental and psychological pressure they feel, especially when they have entered the level of chronic addiction.

Basically anything that is done excessively is always not good, therefore from now on we must be able to resolve what is wrong with us regarding the gambling activities that we do, there is absolutely no prohibition for anyone from gambling as long as you can control it. everything is good like imposing many restrictions because this is the only thing that can help us.

On the time that we are really that witnessing or aware that we are spending already too much on the time that we do gamble then it is really just that right that we should really be stopping on it completely
rather than on making yourself do really get ended up on messing up your life with when it comes to financial status. This is what makes this industry becomes that too profitable because of those kind of hopes
on which those gamblers are really that trying to have on which they would be loving on their lives to be that achieving on becoming rich or having tons of money and this is why
they would really be having that kind of assumption on things.

Once you do have that kind of mindset and belief in mind then you would really be ending up on messing up your life with. Addiction is one of the most common thing that you would
really be able to get when you do hover yourself when it comes to gambling. On the time that those kind of hopes then you wont really be stopping
until you would really be able to reach out those kind of goals.

And rather than experiencing more losses, we should first stop our gambling activities for a while. We can gamble again after taking a break to calm our minds so that when we return to gambling again, we won't have any burdens and just want to gamble for fun. And this time, when we return to gambling, we don't want to chase after winning because we have experienced bad events before, so we just want to fill our free time by gambling. We also won't play gambling for long because we know that the longer we gamble, the more money we can lose. That's what we want to avoid to take care of the gambling game and prevent losing a lot of money.

Taking a break from gambling to reflect on what we have gained from gambling can give us an understanding that gambling is really for fun and not to make money. We will not be easily tempted by promotions given by casinos, especially since we already know that it can make us tempted again and forget what we have practised so that we will make the same mistakes again. We don't want to experience as many losses as before, so we will always be careful when spending money on gambling. We also won't regret what happened because it was a mistake we made, and we have learned a lot from our own experience.

That's right, I agree with you, if you have gambled many times and the result you get at the end is still the same, namely losing, then it's time to stop, it's impossible to reverse the situation, even if luck is on your side, but We still have to be aware that excessive gambling will only get us into big and serious problems. It's clear that every gambler will feel this, because people who gamble tend to be hungry for victory, so it's not surprising that many gamblers want to get bigger wins after winning.

This can happen if they have strong self-control, so they are not easily tempted by gambling or by taking big risk actions such as continuing the game after winning, this has become a common case among gamblers. Many of them decide to continue gambling after winning, with the dream of being able to win again with a larger amount, but they don't see and don't realize there is a bigger risk. By doing this, of course there is a chance that their winnings will be lost again, and this is what usually happens when gamblers decide to continue gambling after winning. and in the end they can only regret it.

Everything will change if you become addicted. The things they get when playing gambling, which previously were fun and entertainment, have turned into something they have to get where they want to win or recover their losses. They will be filled with lust and desires that must be fulfilled and don't care about how much money they spend. They can no longer think about the risks of using more money because what they have in mind has changed along with their desire to win.

Yes, they can even borrow money from other people when they don't have it just to continue gambling. And when they no longer have restrictions on gambling, that's when they will only think about using gambling as the only activity that can be fun for them.

If within a few hours, we gamble and experience defeat, that should be a clear sign for us that we must immediately quit gambling and not gamble for a few days so that we don't think about the loss and also don't have the desire to gamble again. But when we win from gambling, there will definitely be a desire to get another win, and that can make us unable to stop ourselves and leave the casino. That is greed that we must regulate so that it does not put us at risk. In fact, if we win, we can enjoy the winning money and choose to take a break from gambling. That would be much better to do than continuing to gamble because it can provoke us to spend more money without us realizing it.

If we can control our gambling activities, we will not gamble excessively, and also, when we win, we can withdraw the winnings to enjoy. We also will not try to chase bigger wins because we have played enough gambling, so we pay more attention to ourselves than getting other pleasures from gambling.

There are addicted gamblers that are hyper active but not coming to this point of their lives that they're going to do most of what you've said. But, it just so happens that many of them actually do it and that's the scary part of being addicted on anything. You are going to anything that you can so that you'll be able to continue to gamble without thinking on what you might have stomped on. It's either your family, colleague, your assets or anything that's precious to you. When you get to that point that you're even willing to sell your soul so that you can gamble, that's the scariest part from these addicts. And you are right that anything that's addictive or addicted to something they like doing, they will do nasty things.

Those moments are really happening and we can't imagine on how deep they can dig their own holes or how high they can think of things that they have never done before. They might be lazy and want the shortcut to success because they might be inspire and saw someone who became good with gambling. But as many people as we want to be on the same shoes, not everyone is going to be successful with gambling. And with that hope, instead of actually having that hope, the opposite comes to them and it's making them hopeless based on the results that they get into themselves that shows how irresponsible they are.

You are right, I have seen many people who deviate from the good in life, and begin to see the bad things, which I see can Mean that things can be different when a person falls into addiction because they have many ways. Seeing it, there are some who suddenly react in a different way, they leave or stop doing certain activities or buying what they thought was good before and they invest it in the game, to see if they can get more money, otherwise when Another type of reaction is made, it is that if they are in the game then they also drink Alcohol , making it the best decision , because someone who Spends money played in the Casino and who is also alcoholic is the but of the Combinations.

That's why every time we do Anything with the Casinos , it has to be done with Great care , so that we Don't fall into that Problem , Some people lose Control of Everything , they Even try to do Any Kind of thing Before Stealing or go into debt , and borrow a lot , causing your finances to go Down.

Yes because everything that is done too often or excessively is synonymous with bad things, as you said that there are many potential bad possibilities that they will experience and not only that, the impact of gambling addiction makes a person instantly change in himself whether in terms of behavior or nature and also you mentioned a fact that it is not uncommon for me to find several cases aired on television stations that inform that there are people who commit theft in one of the jewelry stores on the grounds of financing their gambling activities, as we know that gambling activities involve mental and psychological and if you are already a high level addict then obviously things out of control are very likely to be done when you run out of money to gamble.

Well that's right, people who gamble with the aim of winning are losers who want to get rich instantly and they dedicate themselves to gambling activities, which in fact is gambling is not a place to earn at all but just an entertainment activity to fill your time. There is absolutely no one who can get rich just by gambling, because this is an activity of fortune that has absolutely no certainty and guarantee, I would say you can get rich instantly if you are one of the bookmakers who own casinos, but if you are nothing more than a casual gambler then I think don't expect too much because it will only trap yourself.

Become addicted in something, is dangerous whatever it is gambling or drug or something else. Such kind of people don't hesitate to involve with any crime like stealing money, kidnapping people, selling their apartment. Even sometimes they don't rethink during end up their lives because they are in debt. I believe, they are only Lazy and greedy people who don't need to work hard but want to get rich within short time by using gambling as lottery. And this is how they keep doing gambling I am become get addicted without they realised. So never take gambling as a lottery of become Millionaire. Enhance your selfcontrol, Be responsible & use a little money from your salary for enjoy gambling. otherwise stop it

Research on gambling addiction will indeed continue to produce different opinions, but the main cause of gambling addiction is the love of money, those who love money will definitely try hard to win when gambling, even when they run out of capital they will continue to play until their last drop.
Gambling addiction is not an epidemic that can easily attack everyone, not all gamblers end up addicted to gambling, it's just those who are greedy and in love with money who usually get it. stop if you feel that your gambling activities are only destroying you, don't do it anymore because slowly but surely you will end up in prison or in a mental hospital.

Yeah, things start small, and then they continue to grow.

At some point you don't even realize where you end up.

It can be difficult to get out from that place once you are too deep into it.

Well we need to properly understand what we really want to see as regards to how we control or limits our gambling excess or our involvement in gambling, let say if I record loses within the last 24 hours, I won't be comfortable to play any longer today, this is because, when gambling is not done under close check, it could indeed result into something very bad along the way, times, we see that gamblers who chase a particular directions without keeping records or playing under protected last day information may not be able to put somethings into check in the present days.

So the ability to enjoy the game is in knowing how yesterday ended and making good use of today to achieve better results, most times, this knowledge is what leads to controlled gambling since you won't want to go the same route you took yesterday.

But in terms of addiction, that is no longer part of enjoying but a lust and desire that needed to fill out, gambler who already suffering from this stage can do anything, things that un-imaginable that those person will do, most cases, they are selling valuable items or loaning money from friends or institutions and worse, they can do illegal things that really put them into a big risk.

That's how madness from a gambling addicted person can do, no control and doing things that not really usual.

Indeed, the value of the money will be different from yesterday, so we have to be able to control the use of the money so that it doesn't get bigger. You can record the number of losses yesterday to adjust it for today. That way, you can control the number of losses you can lose, which is the amount you can afford. I agree that we will not always be winners in gambling because it will depend on some factors, so we must be aware of them well and will not try to chase that win. It's better if we just enjoy the gambling game. And if we win, we should stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will only feel despair seeing the winning money disappear at the gambling table because we experience more losses than before.
