With the existence of online gambling, it makes it easier for many people to access it, and casinos will also reap more profits, because people who want to gamble do not need to go to a physical casino, just enough with a cellphone or computer connected to the internet. And this can make people more familiar with gambling and vulnerable to the number of people who will be crazy about gambling, they can spend all the money they have for gambling if they cannot control themselves properly by not having limits when gambling.

They should first understand the meaning of gambling, by playing a game that pays and will give bonuses if they are lucky, not to make it the main income in life, if they are like that then their future can be sure to experience difficulties because they are addicted to gambling which will cause them to do things that are not reasonable. You are right, it is important to think about your own problems to avoid the risk of addiction.

Desperate times they say calls for desperate measures. We've witnessed and heard of scenarios where people fake their own abductions and death in order to get out of certain situations. Generally, addiction in any area of life can equally lead to this same action and result, because I know people will use this to tag gambling as evil and devilish. I know of a young man who went to rob his parents' house heavily armed, just to support his drug addiction but was caught on the act by security agencies. That was when it occured to the parents of the young man that he should be take to rehab.

Some people have relatives who they know fully well is addicted to a particular habit but they choose to ignore the situation and refuse to do something about the situation, and when it leads to situations like this, they blame it on the victim when it's really not entirely his fault.

I am glad that we live in the era of the Internet where you can read everything about gambling habits and thus be prepared. And the more I learn about how addiction appears, the scarier it becomes to me, because internally I understand how close I sometimes was to gambling becoming a permanent and uncontrollable part of my life. Any big win at the beginning of the use of games and then it is very easy to become obsessed with gambling. But even knowing all this, I often recognize myself in the guys who give interviews about their addictions. Their stories are often similar to situations from my life.

I totally agree
the thing is that this is sometimes easier said than done
when we are over strong emotions sometimes it's harder to think clearly
it varies from person to person and from situation to situation of course.

Yeah, spot on. Being in control of your own actions is always the key to having a good life.

The moment that you lose control, either in gambling, or anything else really, your life starts to spiral down into something bad.

It's much better to stop it while it's still under control.

Pointed the right way of treating gambling if by somehow everyone have that same mindsets, then the chance is good not to fall into any level of addictions, those people who thinks that they can make money from this venue most of the time lose their control over the situation, which leads them to have an excessive game time and it's affect thier financial balance, addiction brings manipulation to how you should treat your entertainment over your budgets.

In such a way, there are things that are unexpected that you may do without the right control from how you control your participation.

Spending money at the mall for goods that are basically not too important in my opinion it is still better, meaning at least there is your money turned into an item that can be seen even though basically it does not have a positive impact on your life, yes it can be compared to gambling in the problem of those who allocate money carelessly and there is no management whatsoever. But I think gambling is worse than that akwan, you lose money without getting any goods or winnings, which means you are like throwing money away in vain, even though on the other hand to get the money you have to work hard or even sweat a lot.

So with this alone should be taken into consideration, are you willing to spend money on something that is uncertain and not useful at all? of course, and as evidenced at the end of the session when you lose you regret it, right? therefore we must be careful in looking at gambling, I do not prohibit you from gambling but I hope you can apply financial management very well, one of which is by only putting a small amount, it is better than you put a large amount with high hopes but finally lost, then obviously you will be hurt. That's a good idea, right you can also work with family members, nothing but to help you realize if you start to overdo it.

As every thing is updated through technology, gambling is also updated in the same way. The style of play is different in each case many may feel comfortable playing for fun it is right that gambling is not considered as a source of income as it is difficult to earn here and no one knows the exact news of winning. Quitting is better than becoming addicted basic needs cannot be met from gambling but in reality this momentary pleasure can sometimes appear as infatuation or addiction in anyone's life. And that's when the problem happened this is why it is important to think about your own problems and control everything so that there will be no risk of addiction.

Not loving our self, will affect others not to love us. Gambling addiction, helps our loved ones to some extent, to stop loving us in future. They'll pretend to stick by us, but when the addiction doesn't allow us enough time to think properly, they, our loved ones, will find a way of adjusting their friendship with the addicted person. It's certain that most indoor gamblers expose themselves to gambling addiction, because their actions are hidden. And can hardly be traced by other people around them. It's normal to find a person we can trust, as gambling newbies, could be a gambler, and discuss our new habits, and how it's affecting our daily activities. Because most of them don't enjoy the money won, which is attributed to greed. They easily get glued to gambling and forget about other exercises like reading and working out. Which they used to practice before they became gamblers. Such a new development, opens an avenue for questions. Close family members can query him. Nothing can be hidden for so long. They can ask questions like, I hardly see you reading, like before, what is it that replaced your reading habit? The way we ask the question also determines if they'll tell us the truth or get cunning about their answer. Asking such people questions like "what's wrong with you?" may not be effective. Because within them, nothing is wrong. Hence, having a discussion session with them using questions to steal the truth from them can be very effective. The reason, which is bad, why people or friends avoid addicted gamblers is, they feel nothing can be done to help. Some only get concerned, if the addicted person now steals or borrows money from them without paying back a dime. If not for actions like that, the addicted person will be allowed to waste years in addiction, provided he uses his funds to finance his bad habit. Thereby leading the player to a more difficult situation, as getting depressed. 

learning from others is a must for development and for breaking plateaus
I find it really good to be with people who know more than I do on subjects I want to learn

as an example
the times I learned chess the most were the times when I played with people who are better than me,
even if I lost I'd see how they think and be able to improve my game.

We have to be updated about the system if we're gamblers, know the in and outs of every team that we have urge to bet on and we should not get too comfortable gambling. Gambling is often beneficial for changes and not for major source of incomes. We gamble to earn small change to handle our wants and earn from our profession to handle our basic needs which is consider as the priorities of life. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is gambling addiction, many people don't usually survive this, it's better we just avoid the system than sink in to the system.

Yes, that's right, whatever gambling is, of course what is important and must be prioritized is self-control, because with that we can gamble by limiting ourselves so as not to go too deep and avoid addiction, but currently it is very popular among the public because of the existence of online gambling which makes it easier for everyone to access, this means that more and more people know about gambling, especially with gambling advertisements on the internet, everyone tends to gamble online regardless of gender, caste and age. Everyone can do it easily, and everyone nowadays who often hangs out probably knows about online gambling which is currently popular. Everyone must realize that gambling is only for fun, not to be used as the main income in life. If they want to be rich, they should work hard, not gamble without knowing the winnings they will get.

The dangerous impact of addiction is doing things that are beyond reason or beyond common sense, such as crimes of stealing, robbing, etc. Yes, this has become their hobby that cannot be eliminated easily, and this addiction will also have an impact on others when the addict runs out of capital to gamble, because the gambler may do things that are not wanted by others as I mentioned earlier. They should realize, when they run out of money to gamble, they should stop instead of doing things that are beyond reason to be able to return to gambling.

It's not like that, but most of them are like that because they can't control themselves properly, so they gamble continuously because they have become addicted, and basically the human mind is easily tempted by advertisements on the internet, they are already interested, especially when they play, and what I know in my experience, beginners who gamble will be given a small win to attract them deeper, even though they know it's an attractant but it doesn't guarantee them to stop there, surely they will return to gambling and continue like that until they experience gambling addiction. In fact, when they have experienced addiction, it will make them turn into a more sensitive person, and in my opinion, relationships with lovers will also be affected, even with family, even if it will happen if they are severely addicted, I say this because according to the main topic "the madness of addicts", drug addicts or gambling are equally bad, both of these will harm themselves in terms of finance, health, and relationships. More or less, their friends will stay away because they don't want to get carried away with this dangerous addiction. And remember they need to be able to control themselves before gambling.

In our daily life activities, going to the mall with large budget, for example, we end up buying things we don't need. Same is applicable to gambling. A good number of gamblers who don't follow money management techniques, end up regretting why they gamble. I've read some blog posts that encourage gamblers to engage in gambling with few cash and keep their card aside. Gamblers can go to an extent of having two signatories in their account. Enforcing certain restrictive criterion would help the gambler to mange money, when in gambling session. As most times, we may not be careful enough, we'd be carried away by the cool experience of gambling. If that happens the money management measures will stop us, the gambler from falling into a trap. The bank can be instructed to set a daily limit on our expenses. These limitations helps the gambler to return back to their right senses. Even, during the next gambling session urge, the gambler will be more conscious, in spending money. The whole war against not becoming addicted, is dependent on the gambler. At the initial stage of gambling, before being deeply involved in gambling. The player can trust a family member with his decision. Then, the person, will work closely with the gambler, to observe when he begins to add odd behaviors to his existing attitude. But, when we keep it a secret, the gambler will have to suffer with money management. Though, not all players. Yet, nobody can predict, their fate in gambling. A day can come when we'll not be emotionally stable to keep up with being conscious of our decision. That's why even the most professional of all gambler can be a victim of crazy gambling someday. Which still keeps money management a top of any other gambling precaution available. At least we can't gamble when we don't have access to money.

Gambling will be different from the past because in the past the technology was not so much advanced with the present technology everything is improving so the information of gambling through cell phone is all secret and becoming popular. It is easy to prevent addiction if exposed to good environment. If the environment is bad, gambling creates lawlessness in the society. Due to the influence of gambling, conflict and strife increased in the society. A beautifully orderly society gradually turns chaotic due to gambling. Many times it is seen that there are fights and casualties in the society based on gambling.

Basically money management is needed in any case, whether it's in your real life or anything related to money, especially in gambling where sometimes even though you have prepared some management that you think is good it cannot be denied that when you are in a gambling session you can forget all that, the reason? yes because your mind is distracted by whatever is there, it can be because of greed or more often than not you put a large enough budget because you are too excessive in considering the chances of winning in gambling, and as a bad impact, maybe they also already know that it is very likely that their finances will be randomized or destroyed because you cannot fully manage all the money allocations.

In my opinion, all of this happens because you are too much, therefore we must be able to become responsible gamblers, do you know how? yes, one of the ways that you can become a responsible gambler is that you must first understand the opportunities and risks involved in gambling, I think if you understand it, especially for the possibility of a large risk, then you will not dare to put a very large amount of budget or that can disappoint you if you end up losing.

Reducing gambling activities is a way to prevent gambling addiction, especially if we can do other activities that can keep us busy throughout the day. We will not think about gambling because we are doing other activities and slowly, we can reduce our gambling activities. Maybe it will be difficult but we have to keep trying so we can reduce gambling activities. By doing other activities, we reduce or limit our gambling so that we will not depend on gambling when we are not doing other things or are free.

Yes, self-control is important to prevent excessive gambling so that we do not experience greater risks, especially the risk of losing money. By understanding the risks of gambling, we will be more careful when gambling and will not spend the money all at once in one day. With self-control, we can also avoid greed that will come to us so that we can use gambling properly.

Yes, the fundamental skill that any gambler should have is money management. Avoiding bankruptcy should be the number one driver of decisions for a gambler.

It doesn't matter if the gambler is the most skilled person in the world if they just lost their last cent. They can't play any more.

It's not a must that everyone that gambles online has the tendency of becoming an addict. There are multiple factors that lead people to gambling addiction, which has nothing to do with the comfort of gambling online in our private rooms. Some were caused by the lost of a loved one like any other addiction or maybe failure, even relationship heartbreak. Your line about those who are already gambling is right, reducing the rate at which they gamble is fine. At least to an extent where they'll be enjoying their habit, without causing harm to their various loved ones. And due to the false believe that gamblers are toxic, married men should respect their homes and try to not go public about their gambling habit. Especially when their wife is against it. Not to break the home. But, when addicted or in trouble, they'll be no benefit not to let the cat out of the box. As they're the direct first aid to any mental disorder that gambling could cause. Hence, the money used to gamble should mainly be spare cash. Therefore maintaining our duty as the head of the family. Instead of letting gambling to remove the trust and respect our loved ones have for us. It also contributes to the addiction; lack of self control. The goal is to be responsible at all cost. That is gambling when we are completely free from any other task; company or business. Many have lost their good paying jobs because of gambling. It's not encouraged at all. That's one the reasons, Dewi Aries may have suggested that those who don't gamble, yet, shouldn't try it in the first place. Additionally, keeping few amount of money aside a week can also be a better method of not hurting the financial economy of our household.

Technology has undoubtedly changed the face of gaming, but remember that control is ultimately what matters. Indeed, internet gambling is a new animal entirely ; more accessible and covert. However, lets not ignore it completely. A major component of the game is entertainment and thrill, and for other people, its just a harmless kick. The secret? Realizing your boundaries. Like candy, should you have one piece or two? All is well. But the entire bag? Problems.

Here, addiction poses a greater threat than the actual game. Those that gamble recreationally are aware that its a hobby rather than a source of income. And those sportsbooks? Of course they want to win, but isnt that the case in any business? Heres an idea: What if we approach gambling as more of a pastime than a habit? Stay lighthearted and have fun. And those who are having trouble? Ask for assistance. People, its all about balance. Play deftly, not forcefully.

In the process of becoming a good gambler we need to understand; money management, self discipline and self education on the effects of gambling. What works for the next gambler may not work for us. Hence, it's the duty of every gambler to manage their risks by following the right routines. When a player lose their control in gambling. They'll be controlled by gambling addiction. And it'll be much difficult for them to withstand the gravity dragging them towards every day gambling. The difficulty of curing gambling addiction depends on the decision of the addicted person. Yet, it's always hard for them to fight against what's eating them up mentally. But, if any addicted gambler try his best to stop, he'll achieve it. Given time. If they read news articles about what gambling addiction has done to gamblers, it can help in reminding them about their mistakes. Families has been broken because of gambling. Many have wasted money meant for the growth of business on gambling. Another important aspect of maintaining healthy gambling habit, is having a personal gambling technique. Which money limitation is also a nice gambling skill. I still don't get why the addicted gamblers don't feel the pain of the punishment they cause themselves and family members. Changing themselves can take longer time, but when the family tries to help, the time it'll take can be slashed into two. Thereby facilitating a fast healing process for the gambler.
