Yes they create various assumptions and beliefs for momentary pleasure, like exchanging momentary pleasure for long-term downturn. Gambling can never be used as a solution to financial problems, because after all this is an activity that runs without any certainty and guarantee while the risk of losing is always lurking every time we do a session, therefore it makes no sense to make gambling a solution to financial problems, because it is precisely the opposite that happens where they will only lead themselves to various possible disasters, and that's why people always suggest gambling with the intention of entertainment when we have boring free time, because there is no other benefit from gambling other than just entertainment.

The main problem here is that “there is no certainty, guarantee and any element of consistency” in gambling that leads to winning, meaning that everything is always gray, it will never be known but I think it's natural because after all, from the name alone it is gambling where a gambler bets his money to lose or win.  Yes it is true that the key is self-awareness and recognizing that gambling is always a risky activity, and it is because of this that I always advise anyone to first understand how gambling really is before they finally jump in and get involved, because if it is too late it will be very difficult to heal.

That's because people here knows how to control themselves and already knows what happens to those who addicted to gambling. They don't wants themselves into that matters so they will do many things to avoids that, including to use small money to playing gambling. They always advices to their friends or family that playing gambling is not for makes money but only for having fun so they don't have to use much money because that can gives more losses. If they meet beginners who wants to playing gambling, they will suggest those people to always limits themselves when playing gambling because they will gets addicted to gambling and the worst is they will forget everything and only wants to playing gambling. They will not lets their relatives becomes addicted to gambling because they knows what the impacts that can happens to their relatives if they becomes addicted to gambling.

Are you suggesting that a drug addict can get his substance on a giveaway bases? Same thing is with a gambler, he can't play for free, except someone tends to sponsor them. I think we are on same page in terms of physical actions. I was actually referring to the mental stress gambling addiction causes to a gambler is quite different from that of a drug addict. Talking of the financial effects both still runs short of money. Haven't you seen the speed at which drug addicts tends to sell anything of value that reaches or belongs to them. Thinking about the perspective where your point is lifted from, I'd say that in terms of a drug addict getting engaged freely in drugs with friends that can sponsor his addiction, gamblers can as well play freely on their friend's budget. Is it actually what you mean by a drug addict not getting money devalued?

It's true that for beginners, of course they don't have good self-control because it's likely that they will only think about the wins that will happen with the gambling they do. This is normal, but at least if there are beginners and those of us who are experienced in our environment then it's not wrong if We remind them not to gamble excessively, including mistaking it for gambling. It's not surprising that many beginners are hooked and addicted to gambling because they don't think about the losses, they only think about the wins. This is what makes them addicted, especially when beginners can win, it is very unlikely that they will stop there, but they will become addicted to gambling in the long run.

Indeed, for experienced gamblers, they can certainly limit their gambling, including considering the actions they will take, whether when gambling or when they lose at gambling. However, even though they are experienced gamblers, that doesn't mean they won't be safe forever. There is still a chance that they could lose control. In fact, in my opinion, it is very rare for gamblers to stop and rest when they lose from their gambling, maybe that only happens to those who gamble very wisely.

And I think that these two addictions - drugs and problem gambling - have different foundations. Strong dependence on gambling (when a gambler starts selling significant things, lying to friends and collecting debts in dubious organizations) this is a problem of thinking. Depreciation of money. But the problem for an addict is that he wants a certain substance, while money is not so devalued for him.

For the sake of addiction most intending players try to avoid gambling, but soon as they get involved in the game, you'd notice how quick they get to disobey the ways of avoiding addiction. Gambling has no better means of playing consistently and running away from getting addicted. All I noticed with addiction is that greedy players overdo the process and end up losing out a lot in their gambling journey.

What matters is being able to understand how wrong addiction could be to a player. However, we see that most players who find themselves addicted are only undergoing this as a result of their mistakes or greed. Nothing will put a responsible gambler into addiction if not for going against his gambling strategy. It's quite close to drug addiction or even, gambling addiction is more sophisticated than drug addiction due to the effect it causes to the brain.

Nobody can survive the burden on them if they're busy looking for debts. Addiction is bad and dangerous for the wellbeing of gamblers, its entirely another dimension to avoid in the space. Addicts are more comparable to drug addicts because they're not resting, always finding sources to provide them with good odds to bet. It's very difficult for any gambling addict to stop because it's uprising for any one. Gambling addiction is probably the worst thing to ever happen to any gambler in the space.

If here people are experienced in gambling then most likely they will not be addicted to gambling because they know how to control themselves when gambling so as not to overdo it.
However, for novice or new gamblers they still have little experience so they have not been able to control themselves when playing gambling properly and they do as they please according to their wishes so that they can be fulfilled immediately, namely getting a win even though beginners can play in a week as much as 3-4 times or even every day it is clear that he can be said to be addicted and greedy for victory only and for experienced gamblers when they experience defeat they start to think about stopping immediately for a while to recover from their bad condition.

And I would not compare a strong addiction to gambling and drug addicts with their addiction. It seems to me that gambling addiction is a thirst for new emotions from the expectation of gambling.
From the fact that ludoman will now sit down at a slot machine or a gambling table and start playing. That's what they want, not a payoff.
And an addict craves a forbidden substance, and to feel the world changed in his eyes.

Here usually people who gamble are mostly experienced, especially a new gambler faces losses in the beginning and from losses when he gains experience, he starts making money from gambling. But a gambler is greedy for money and starts gambling in the most corrupt way when he becomes addicted to gambling. Because an addicted gambler may never receive benefits, he or she should retire two to three days a week to avoid addiction. Because if you participate in gambling every day of the week, then you are definitely more likely to become addicted.

You are right with responsible and wise behavior in every action taken in gambling activities, a gambler can prevent his addiction, but if both attitudes are not used in a gambling session, it is clear that a gambler will really experience a great addiction from supporting factors to get a quick win because if this is left alone, it is clear that gamblers will be far from the win but often the defeat they get.
Totally agree with you if we listen well and can understand the experiences that have been experienced by other gamblers, both bad and good experiences, then this will be a reference and motivation for us on how to run gambling properly and correctly.

People who entered gambling at a young age and benefited early on are most likely to show signs of addiction. Because they may have won due to good luck but later became addicted, the longer a person is addicted to gambling, the more they will continue to take it as a drug. So it is best to do this gambling in small amounts where the rich start gambling for fun. But I think it's best and proper to enjoy gambling without being addicted to gambling, addicts who participate in gambling often suffer losses and lose huge amounts of money.

It should be like that, when we play in a casino, what we have to do in our brain is to think that we are playing a normal game, if we win it is a bonus but if we lose, it is normal, it's just that we realize it too late and are trapped into being an gambling addict.


I agree with the statement I got above, managing finances in life is a very crucial thing and can be useful wherever we are, so no problems will befall us when we are able to manage finances well (in fact, it will be difficult for us to be a gambling addict).

You are absolutely right. The majority of gamblers, especially addicted ones, are trapped in irrational cognitive loops. They are easily swayed by momentary wins, leading them to believe that gambling is a reliable path to increasing their wealth. However, this is just a mirage. The reality is that real success in life (i.e. patience, hard work, and dedication) does not have any of the guarantees or stability that gambling provides. Hoping to change your life completely through gambling is like looking for apples in an orange tree; big mistake without any silver lining. Gambling does not provide any help or support to create stability in life, so it is wrong for someone to rely on it as a way to change their fate. Patience and hard work pay off in stability; not gambling.

This situation can escalate into a worse scenario when some addicted gamblers resort to theft or cheating to finance their habit as this only fuels unknown aspirations. This is not a solution; this will actually make their situation worse.

So, the key is awareness and self-regulation. Turning to gambling as a means to change your life is dangerous and fruitless. Instead, choose sincere and moral efforts, which lead to achieving safer and deeper milestones in your life journey.

Yes exactly, I agree with that that simply is that most gamblers especially those who are addicted have a mindset that will deceive themselves with various ideas that are generated from a mindset that is far from reasonable and rational. And the trap always starts with the situation of getting a win where winning once may not really increase confidence, but once they manage to win again in the next session then that's where their confidence will be even more rounded by thinking and assuming that gambling is worth it as a place to change fate, they seem to find a solution to improve life, which in fact it is all nothing more than a delusion.

It is a fact that there will never be significant results with just a little effort, some people always need patience, hard work and other things to be able to get success to be able to change their fate, meaning that getting money just by gambling by predicting and executing without hard work and process can never be used as a place or medium to change life. Another thing is like what you said that they even resort to all means to fund their gambling activities such as stealing, robbing or cheating or borrowing and all that is done to get money to pursue something that always has no certainty in gambling.

Responsibly and wisely, a combinationof skills that experienced gamblers uses to avoid getting addicted, while the opposite are the one that brings more addictive gamblers to perform things that unexpected from them, like with those other opinions there are factors that affects the condition of a person who already have this gambling addiction.

They can push to do illegal things that ends up to mroe worse outcomes, btter to learn from those shared stories to prevent seeing yourself regretting with such mistakes that you might follow.

Bad experiences from other gamblers should be a very valuable lesson for us in running gambling, as you have said, namely avoiding big losses that we might get in the future.
By gambling responsibly, wisely and always being self-aware, these steps will minimize the occurrence of bad impacts for ourselves and we will also be far from addictive behavior due to being too crazy about the results of winning in gambling that we are not sure we will get easily.

Making money in gambling is not a good idea as that can only gives more and more losses to those who wants to do that. That can makes them becomes sad because lose their money from gambling and they will not have a big chance to recover their lose. Beginners must realizes that and even try to do that, especially if they only use gambling to have fun and just fills their spare time. The madness when lose can becomes bigger and that can affects to their emotion and when that happens too often, they will becomes addicted to gambling because they wants to recover their losses. They will follows their passion to playing gambling and wins but they will not wins easily as gambling is not for makes money but only have fun inside their spare time.

When they lose in gambling, their minds will not accepts and will tells to keeps playing gambling even if that means they must deposit more money, they will do that to continue their gambling activity. That will not gives wins because they playing gambling with a high tension and that can attracts them to feels bad when they gets more losses. The madness in gambling will comes to them while they will difficult to calm down their emotions because they wants to gets their money back. Their minds can't thinks clear about what happens to them and that makes them decides to keeps playing gambling. But that will not gives more chances to win as gambling not allows them to wins easily and that can attract more losses to comes.

When someone experiences a gambling addiction, the gambling addict's mindset has changed, they can no longer think soundly and are determined to do everything they can to continue gambling. There are many things that gambling addicts do. Who knows why, these people do it, perhaps because of the urgency and all they have in mind is gambling and gambling so that they can fulfill their desires, who knows what they are looking for, even though all they get are losses and increasingly experiencing losses, even no amount of winnings will be able to cover their losses and I am sure that even if they win, they will turn over their money again to gamble again. he will never stop until someone really makes him stop.

After we see people who are addicted to gambling and do things that are beyond our reason, it really makes us think about avoiding addiction which will ultimately harm ourselves and it is better to gamble responsibly and not cause us to do the crazy things that people do. Gambling addicts are quite sad to see the behavior of people who lose control, but unfortunately people who are addicted to gambling are difficult to cure if they don't have the will to stop.

I agree with you guys, gambling is important to the word as it has added some things in the society but those who easily get addicted to things becomes addicted to gamble easily. However just as you guys mentioned age. Yes it's true that ones someone is not matured enough to handle financial problems or thinks probably, there's a high chance of him/her becoming addicted to gamble. Most gamblers are also addicted to drugs because of the way they abuse it. It's so obvious that anything we don't handle with care, it's either the thing won't end well for us or we become addicted.
