Playing too much and out of control is the main problem here, if these gamblers can control theirselves well enough not to play too much and out of control, they will not have to suffer all this troubles as they will not go bankrupt and want to involve in unhealthy practice as this so as to be able to continually fund their habit.

Looking at the other side, gambling is not hard but winning is and if these same person who they are trying to stop from gambling is lucky and wins a good amount you will see how interested others will be and want to be part of the win or probably have a good share of the money win, the main issues here is the gambler not been able to control their selves and playing too much which eventually turns out to becoming a problem to them and family at Large. If they can control theirselves well enough to know when to stop and all that I'm very sure they will be in less problems than they will be.

Inflicting suffering on other people is the most painful part of gambling addiction. After recovering, he, the gambler will live to regret his actions, as those actions will be cemented in his brain, forever. We don't need to blame them for certain actions, but in a situation of harming a family member to get money to gamble, the gambler needs to be penalized. It has gotten to a bad level of gambling addiction, he won't be able to escape it or change from such a lifestyle. Gamblers need to understand the repercussions of getting too attached to gambling. Newbies can also learn from the mistakes of others. Imagine a situation where an addict won't adhere to treatment or the therapy administered by family members. Fighting against the urge to change, can be wrong, but the addict will believe his actions are right. His brain has been configured to see gambling as the best thing in the world. And any other thing or person who says ill words about gambling in the addict's presence can be annoying to the gambler.

I think the gambler must have the feeling to change before his family can help him out of the addiction. Instead, as you said, the player's family will undergo serious times trying to cure him and it'll be a wasted effort. Trying to force him out of it, can chase the addict away from home to a place that he thinks is safe for him and his thoughts. However, if he runs out of money he'll come back to his family, this time they can utilize the opportunity to talk sense into him about the pain he's not feeling. They feel no pain, mentally disordered people. The people close to him need to help the gambler realize he's undergoing serious pains, on his journey of making huge profits in gambling. Discussion session helps a lot, not allowing him to stay alone all the time, can help in reviving the thought of the addicted person.

A gambling addict cannot think clearly, which means he has experienced disturbances in the way he thinks, so he must get help from his family, and if necessary, he must go to an expert. The family can warn family members and show that he has a gambling addiction so that he can realize it and be willing to open himself up to receiving help from other people. If he still doesn't want to open himself up and even chooses to close himself off from other people, it will be even more difficult because there will be no recognition from him that he is addicted to gambling.

Maybe his family could be a little tougher on him and take him straight to a specialist so he can be treated immediately. If it's too late, he could end up getting deeper into his gambling addiction and it will be even more difficult to wake him up and cure him. It will cause problems for everyone, his family and the gambling addict, but in any case, the family should want to help the gambling addict to cure his gambling addiction.

Yes, it's true, it's very difficult to get out of addiction quickly, even though you've been given good understanding and advice from the people around you, it's not certain that you'll immediately recover and come to your senses because if you don't. really believe and try to heal from within his own conscience, then any efforts to cure the addiction will be in vain.

And as a result, if someone is truly addicted to gambling, he will only care about himself rather than thinking about the feelings of other people around him with the aim of ensuring that his satisfaction and desires are fulfilled, and this will be very fatal. if left alone because it's not just him who suffers, but other people. The people around him or even his family will also experience downturns in their lives.

I think people who become gambling addicts will be psychologically disturbed. This must be rehabilitated, especially if it causes danger to other people, especially to their own family. I tend to always warn my family in gambling but to persuade them completely out as addicts is almost impossible. they have a long process for it, not a few of whom even need spiritual guidance to regain their sanity.

There's no easy way if that gambler already suffering with too much addiction, they will just keep playing for more putting their finances at risk,  there's nothing in there minds
But just to keep satisfying their gambling activities, most of the time,  those people already forget about their love ones and they are willing to submit everything inside gambling to please the desire that they are getting from this venue of entertainment.

The gambler also ransom their own grandchildren for the money for the gambling by the gambling addiction.In my country many was find guilty and arrested in the ransom against their own family members.The most important reason for this was the gambler may not have any money in their wallet after the loss,instead of getting loan from the friends.The gambling addicted gamblers will not ready to get the loan from their friends by the ego.Some friends also not provide the money for the gambling games,this was the reason for the gamblers to get into gambling criminals activities at the end.

Well, I have carefully read the submission of two of you above and both of your are saying the same thing but coming from different angles. Apart from gambling addiction, every other addictions have their negative effects and those negative effects are menaces to the society. Let's take drug addiction for instance, this who are addicted to drugs, can sell all their properties in order to satisfy their addiction. When such a person sells of his properties and by chance has a means to sell that of his neighbours, he will surely do it to quench his taste for drug at that particular time.

Relating this to gambling addiction, someone who do not have any stable source of income can become a criminal in order to have the money to gamble. So, this is the reason it appears that poor people are more addicted to gambling than rich people. But this is not the truth. Why the addiction of rich people is not easily noticeable is because they have the money to maintain their gambling habit why the poor man who is financially vulnerable has nothing to lay hands rather than to become a public ridicule.

Yes that's correct.
Gamblers will be in big trouble when their savings run out and their lives suffer. Apart from that, he will also get into trouble with his family and friends because they might be shunned or ostracized because of his own carelessness.
Yes, of course betting is very easy but it will be difficult to win, on the other hand, you will often lose because you play too much and are out of control.

Gambling addiction is not a simple habit to get over. Despite the pressure from the family members, which is good, the gambler will resist at first. The context of the pressure also matters in helping the addict. Pressure in the sense of forcing or scolding the addict to stop, will only make the healing process very much difficult to yield results. Those who use kind words and engage in discussion with the gambler, still have difficulty in curing the addict. Gambling addiction is a chronic disease and affects most gamblers for a long time before the family discovers that their ward is addicted. The gambler doesn't share his problem most often, and it toughens the process of finding out, and he'd think that his family would scold him if he opened up about his problems. Hence having a simple and consistent conversation with the addict helps so much in changing a gambler who is struggling to change. If he's not yet ready to change or stop gambling, the process may be bad and he won't stop anytime soon. A lucky family would be working on therapy with their addicted ward who is also interested in changing.

The main issue is on the addict, not just about whether the family would put some effort into curing him. Therapists are not magicians, they need the collaboration of their client to be able to heal the addiction. The same is true with a family, trying to help their child, if he's not complying with treatment, the whole therapy session would be a waste of time, and he'd resist them for trying to talk him down on gambling. In a situation where the gambler is adamant, even to a therapist's healing techniques. The only solution would be reaching out to the person the gambler loves the most. A person who can create a bond with the addicted person easily. It's the fastest means of establishing a good therapy for problem gamblers. Consistent conversation with the person will then change their thoughts on gambling for a while, and then the person can issue strong responses to the person's complaints, about what he feels in gambling addiction. Humans easily share their problems with people they can trust or love. Hence, a gambler's best therapist could be his best friend.

I mean. It is obvious anyone willing to put their granddaughter in danger because of money to gamble suffers from mental health issues which are not related to gambling itself. That person would have ended up doing something irrational and dangerous anyways in the future anyways, but getting addicted to gambling or other kind of activities which involve money has just accelerated and devolved his mental state into something worse than he initially felt.
Also, I would love for things to be so easy as you mention in tour post, because sadly, mental healthcare are not priorities in countries like those which are considered to be part of the third world, even in the Unites States, a country which is a developed country, is very difficult for people to get help in time before getting lives ruined. Society mostly do not care of the mental health problems someone may have and could have pushed them to commit a crime, people are more willing and happy to see the criminal punished and suffering in captivity than in a medical facility, recovering from addiction so they can be a helpful member of society again.

That is something that can be very bad for everything, a person cannot do that much less to their granddaughter, the madness of a game can make the person very blind and it is very sad, that is something that should not be allowed, I don't I understand something like that, a person in a casino must be coherent, he must always be aware of what he is doing , Madness is left to the people who do not know how to control themselves and because they have a special condition, but for the game to return to someone like that, that deserves a severe punishment.

When I read things like this that are done to people , it is something that outrages me , it cannot be allowed, it is not the fault of the casinos either, many believe that this only causes the casinos and it is not, the cause of these may be different but when We see , Emotions are something delicate, we cannot let ourselves be carried away by them either , we are thinking people, Adults and that must be demonstrated at all Times , there should never be acts like that.

That's right, not only do they not have the money to engage in gambling but the scenario of dominating losses can also certainly make someone a criminal instantly. Awareness is one of the things that is difficult to achieve when they are in a desperate situation due to dominating defeat, instead of accepting all the facts and understanding that it is gambling, but what they think is even crazier, thinking about how to make money to get revenge on gambling to pursue break-even or much bigger. Yes, this is the digital age where most people spend their time playing social media (outside of their main activities), there are many things they find there, especially some promotions from gambling that have been circulating more and more, of course I will agree with your idea that this situation is what triggers the fire to become bigger, the level of addiction is increasing and many people have financial problems as a result of seeing a place that is tempting to make money, but the facts slap themselves.

But seeking support for some preventive measures is not that simple guys, not everyone realizes their mistakes or even their addiction to then go to seek some support to help reinforce the preventive measures they already have, or conversely we also won't know if they are suffering from some indications of gambling that leads to addiction or even they are already in a situation of addiction. All of that requires recognition and it's not that easy to admit.

bad actions committed by gambling addicts like that actually deserve more punishment than that, but maybe that's not enough for the rest of the family, but for me, an addict just needs rehabilitation and education and space to talk about why he committed such madness. meanwhile gambling is not a valuable thing and gambling is just a place for entertainment and with rehabilitation and a gentle approach this is the most severe punishment because if he is aware of his behavior he will feel regret for the rest of his life and will not repeat it rather than having to give a very severe punishment. gambling addicts become more aggressive without remembering their mistakes and may repeat the same madness.

but in the case you say, it is indeed very serious and legal action must be taken to fix it, but I am worried that as I said above, if the punishment is too heavy, he will not regret it but ignore it.

A huge percentage of gambling addiction is experienced by gamblers, whether they admit it or not. This has become a serious problem that must be resolved immediately by every gambler so that they do not get deeper into their gambling addiction and can immediately cure their gambling addiction. When they feel more bad effects from gambling, they should be able to think that maybe it is time for them to get out of gambling rather than things getting worse. But only a few gamblers can make the right decisions while others continue gambling and don't think about their gambling addiction. These problems will continue to arise, especially if they do not make efforts to overcome their gambling addiction, and this will make the impact bigger, and they will not be able to cure their gambling addiction.

Many gamblers experience defeat, but many of them continue to gamble as if defeat is a waiting time for them to win. But they will still find it difficult to win and will only experience more defeats. Meanwhile, if there are gamblers who can win, the amount of their wins will not be as big as the number of losses, so when compared with their losses, the gamblers still lose. And that's what frustrates many gamblers because they can't get the win they want, but strangely, this triggers them even more to keep gambling. They still want to feel like they are winning and may deposit more money to win. But unfortunately, even if they deposit more money, it still doesn't guarantee they can win. Gamblers must be able to become wise gamblers. They can think that they should gamble in moderation and not need to chase wins so that they don't get stressed and frustrated.

Gambling addiction is widespread. Observation and analysis show that its appeal is unpredictability and the dopamine rush of potential wins. This psychological trap leads to loss and desperation, not just a hobby. Big successes hide the truth that losing costs more. These tales conceal constant losses, creating a deadly illusion.

The difference between addiction and prudent gambling is important. People who see gambling as enjoyment limit their time and money. This approach to addiction raises awareness and self-control, while imperfect. Balance and facing financial and emotional odds are crucial.

Responsible gambling must be promoted. Through education, knowledge, and support, gambling can be managed. We must encourage responsible gambling and warn gamblers of the risks. Not gambling bans, but healthier gambling relationships.

because the impact has already become criminal, punishment is a solution, and rehabilitation for the psychology is of course a way to restore the psychological stability of the addict.
I don't see the impact of gambling addiction like that. on the impact of crimes that harm other people, such as robbery or theft that I usually see. If there is committing physical torture, maybe it happens to fellow gamblers who may borrow money from each other for gambling or something like that.
What is clear is that if the impact of addiction is that serious, the healing process will be quite difficult.

The real truth is that problem gamblers will end up gambling their whole life savings.

And their family and friends as well, if they let them.

That is the problem, because it is easy to bet into something, but it is difficult to actually generate the money for something.

Yes, with responsible behavior, gamblers will reduce their gambling and may gamble just for entertainment. Apart from that, he will also realize that he should not gamble excessively, because winning is very difficult to obtain, but he will often lose.

Yes, that is the consequence if someone is seriously addicted to gambling, he can do anything beyond his common sense even though in the end he will bear a big risk, for example someone will commit a crime and break the law. Yes, that's the result if someone is crazy about gambling.

If the percentage of gambling addiction is calculated as a whole, it can be very large and almost all of them experience addiction problems, this proves that gambling addiction is indeed a problem and is also case that is quite common everywhere.
It's just that the impact for each will vary depending on the gambling addict himself.
The bad impacts and good impacts of gambling still tend to be more dominant the bad impacts felt by each gambler, and to be able to get the good impact or positive side of gambling clearly requires some effort in responding to every gambling activity that is carried out.
Concerns about gambling addiction do exist regarding the negative impacts that can occur such as destruction and various problems that arise, but all of this will continue to coexist as long as there is no awareness and efforts made to deal with gambling addiction.

In gambling, winning and losing have different opportunities and what is clearly greater is the chance of losing, no gambler can avoid losing because losing is result that is guaranteed to occur more often.
Not only gambling addicts but also gamblers who just want to have fun can definitely win, but the amount of winnings can never be greater than the number of losses that have previously occurred.
These winnings are return given by the house edge to gamblers but unfortunately most gamblers don't make good use of them and instead use these winnings to gamble again until they end up running out with nothing left.
