Topic: The madness of gambling addicts. - page 50. (Read 15689 times)

addiction is a very serious problem, which can hardly be resolved quickly, the families of addicted people suffer a lot because the addicted person hardly copes with being cured, in most cases the person addicted to gambling sells all their possessions to finance the games and when the addict's relatives find out everything, the addict no longer has any money, he no longer has any assets. So family members are left paying all the hospital bills to treat the addicted person and the saddest thing about all this is that the treatment is very expensive and takes a long time and often shows no signs of a cure.

causing the addict's relatives to despair and begin to think about giving up on the person addicted to gambling and as a consequence we see the person addicted to gambling walking in the streets and after some time the person addicted to gambling dies . I've seen these houses, it wasn't from gambling addiction, but they were cases of addiction, so I know that having an addicted relative in the family is something sad, and a situation that leaves anyone in despair. Treatment costs are very expensive and many years can pass without the addict being completely cured.

That's why I advise people to be moderate in anything they do, not to put too many expectations on games, not to think about making a lot of money from gambling, not to use money that they cannot afford to lose. Yesterday in my country someone died because they took money they couldn't lose and went to play aviator and lost everything, it's a very sad situation and I'm wondering how the family must be feeling

what everyone needs when gambling is complete control over their own thoughts, it's normal for them to be happy when they win big when gambling but if they get carried away trying to get back that big win then they only complicate their own thoughts, they will become very curious every day with gambling, they definitely want to feel the euphoria again when they win gambling and want to repeat it again, this is really dangerous and traps many people into becoming gambling addicts.

Sometimes things can be very different to be able to do the best things, including helping someone who has already fallen into gambling addiction, gambling addiction makes many people lose their shame for some things, they no longer feel Sorry for them ask , it is Something incredible , and that speaks volumes about them and the Peroans don't like that, so when we are not in evidence of these things we can say that when it comes to doing something better they can earn a lot of money, but when the person If you lose control, what you do is lose money, in this case you say, it is strong because people Always seek to have the best of All , so the experiences in a casino and Because in a good casino they look for the way to do things better, it can happen that The person bets more than normal, causing all their money to be lost if they do not have enough Money , Which is Difficult because people Always have Something to do to continue winning more Money.

The problem with addiction is not just that you ask for Money , it is that you lose more than that, friends, if you get debts, you get many things that can be dangerous for us as people, and that is what should be avoided, in the I've seen many lately with this addiction, of course it's not like many, but I know that in the Forum there are users like that, and in some way they Seek help, we here in the forum can give some Advice, there will be one than Another specialist in this, but as far as I am Concerned I always give advice based on what I need to do to be able to do that, then I have already seen several threads that things can be very determining , so when we are Inside a casino we must do things are very good, always with good Control and for People with addiction what we must do is always take care of our money, because without money Nothing can be done at all, and the problem of addicts is that , when the money Runs out .

At first when someone starts gambling it thinks that he will go there only to enjoy.  But after he talks about gambling, when he hears the stories of many people who make money from gambling, they start to think that gambling is a very easy way to make money and there is money.  Thus they start taking gambling seriously and gradually become deeply addicted to gambling.  This is how their gambling craze started

Yes, in essence, if you want to see the experiences of others, we need to sort them first so that we do not experience the same problem, and also our own experience is far better than seeing the experiences of others, it's true, but that view is too short to see the future and tends to selfish.

Logically like someone piercing fingers with a needle hurts, do you need to experience it too to experience the pain process? No, right? ... intelligent people always learn from what has been experienced but wise people without experiencing it he can learn from the experiences of others, both in terms of good or bad.
Likewise in gambling, if someone makes a mistake in gambling do you need to experience it? Of course the logic is not that bad is not.

So we need to see the mistakes first what we do, and whether or not we do it again, in addition maybe it's good because we don't know how it happened specifically, but if you look at the results that can give you in a bad position then don't do that and You don't need to try it.
It is important in gambling to see all sides, and don't be too emotional because it will make you indifferent to the principles that you have built in gambling.

I like this idea too
the game is single player so you have to compare only with yourself yesterday

each person has a different time preference, a different way to deal with money, so forth and so on

you have to be careful if you want to see other people experiences to use as a benchmark for not making the same mistakes because sometimes your level of gambling is not the same as his or he could be a very reckless gambling addict and I am worried if you use other people experiences as valuable lessons. for you, I am afraid you will actually have curiosity and try it.

for me the best experience is only what you do yourself and other people experiences are just additions.

Yes that's right, just seeing other people's bad experiences can also be used as lessons, and after learning these lessons we must prevent them from happening to us. Because basically everyone does not want to experience bad experiences but it can be ascertained that everyone will or has experienced something like that. The rest depends on us to make lessons.

That's good, it's supposed to consider everything before taking the next action because what determines it is also yourself other people just comment, don't make people's comments the main reference, but just make it as input and advice and also have to reconsider. It has become a common fact that many gamblers do, and indeed this is difficult to avoid. So it's only natural that many gamblers lose the game. Because by not learning the bad experiences of others or their personal.

It's true what you say, most people misunderstand what gambling is so they do it consciously but without good common sense to perfect it, then they will become addicted to pursuing what they want there, namely getting lots of money, right? You are right that they should gamble for entertainment or fun, but without common sense they actually think of gambling or casinos as a place to make money, even though what we know is that the place to make money is by working and we will get a monthly salary.
Agree with your conclusion that gambling or casinos are not a place to make money, but rather we put money there for free and the result is win or lose.

Yes, we must consider bad experiences as learning material so that we can avoid other bad experiences. Even other people's bad experiences can also be a lesson for us so that we don't experience them and can avoid having the same bad experiences. By trying to avoid repeating the same mistakes, we can become responsible gamblers so that we will not experience serious problems like other people.

We may find it difficult but we have to keep trying because by trying, we can learn valuable lessons that can prevent us from problems that will arise. By changing that mindset, we will not use gambling outside of what we should and only gamble because we want to have fun without any desire to chase victory. By learning more about self-control, you can improve your ability to maintain good self-control and not exceed the limits you set so that you can enjoy gambling as entertainment. We will also be more careful in gambling because we know that gambling can tempt us to continue gambling without stopping.

Indeed, this is a normal thing, but if they cannot learn from their mistakes, they will only repeat the same mistakes without being able to change their thought patterns, which can prevent them from making the same mistakes. We all have had experiences, but only those who can learn from their experiences can transform themselves into responsible gamblers. We also will not experience bad experiences like the ones we have had because we can avoid those bad experiences and we can even be more careful when playing gambling.

Yes, that's good advice, but the problem is that it is difficult to get that mindset and I think that usually most of them are very rare to bring a healthy mindset to their gambling activities. For those who until now still have the mindset of gambling to seek victory then maybe they have to experience terrible things first in gambling such as for example a very painful defeat and whose impact affects their real life, and if something like that they have experienced then maybe yes as you said at least they will definitely feel kapok and do not want to be in such conditions anymore. With that means that it is very likely that they will be more careful and apply some restrictions for safety.

That's right, there are many examples of people suffering from the downturn of gambling, I think it's very common and we just have to learn from the mistakes of others or the downturn experienced by some other gamblers. Therefore, one way to prevent it is that we should not overdo it so as not to get into the trap of addiction, because obviously if we have entered that phase it is very difficult to recover our mindset.

Good point, that is for those who have a healthy mindset about how to take care of their gambling activities, they will use those mistakes or those losses to prevent things from repeating and use it as well as basis when dealing with their gambling sessions, I guess there are so many differences in terms of taking things inside gambling.

We have all seen the bad side effects and how it will affect the mindsets of the person who loses control while involved in gambling, there are many things that the person can do, most are unusual and most are bad side effects of pleasing their desires.

It is true that only we ourselves can prevent and also avoid every bad fate that could happen and we can use other people bad experiences as lessons so that we don't experience the same thing.
If you think about it more deeply, seeing other people bad experiences is very useful and makes us feel afraid so that we are always careful before deciding anything when gambling.
It just that we always underestimate all these bad experiences and sometimes we forget about bad luck or we become lulled because we feel happy or really pursue what was our goal in getting into gambling.

Even though there is no way to avoid gambling addiction, at least if we have lot of experience and always make bad experiences for learning, we will have wiser and more responsible thinking.

as a regular gambler or healthy gambler, bad experiences do not need to be avoided, just as you said, learning from bad experiences for a regular gambler is very valuable lesson for him and will usually be used as a benchmark for not repeating  same mistakes and avoiding the consequences gambling addicts who do bad things as other people say.

The problem is that there are those who misunderstand gambling, many of them make gambling a place to make money and of course this is not the right thing, because basically gambling or casinos are a place to have fun even though there are opportunities to make money but that does not guarantee that it will be easy to get. and also with games that make them confident of winning so they can make money quickly. There is nothing wrong with that, but if they make gambling the main income in life, of course they make the wrong decision in gambling. And when gambling they cannot control themselves so that they can become addicted just because of a game that has made them addicted. even they can fight when given direction or advice as you said it is difficult if they are addicted. This is a problem that has become rampant with their inability to control themselves when gambling which makes them addicted to gambling. So basically, gambling or casinos are not a place to make money but to find pleasure by using money as a medium of exchange.

It is true that it is very difficult to get lucky in gambling it depends on luck but luck doesn't happen all the time. It is possible to win once if the luck is good but if you bet greedily to get more there is no guarantee of winning the next time. Gambling addiction is a disease that manifests itself in a person's inability to gamble. Excitement absorbs so strongly that the game becomes the only meaning of life of such behavior moral and family values are completely destroyed, a person forgets about family and friends breaks his career. Therefore one should be aware as well as keep oneself under control.

Only we can prevent bad experiences like those experienced by other people because we must be able to protect ourselves when gambling and have limits in gambling so that we will not experience such big losses. We don't have to experience the bad experiences that other gamblers have experienced, especially if we can learn from their experiences so that it will be useful for us in preventing and avoiding these bad experiences. Moreover, we have been gambling for a long time and have certainly had many bad experiences so we can learn from those experiences. However, we must prevent ourselves from becoming addicted to gambling because it can make us forget what we have to do and just want to gamble which will harm us.

Yes, I believe so.

If you focus on the present, right now, meditate, and think about what you want to achieve in life, plan, etc, you will probably realize that most gamblers are probably spending way more time and money than they think.

So, if you have specific goals in mind, you will start changing your behavior so that you get closer to them.

Just randomly living life won't probably help.

I don't understand what you mean by the lucky gambler you mention!! Do you think that all gamblers are unlucky because of their gambling activities, becoming a gambling addict is a nightmare for all gamblers but usually it happens to them because of their failure in managing their gambling activities and also their finances, and some gambling addicts are also someone who is experiencing frustrating, there are many reasons why someone becomes a gambling addict so we cannot say they are not lucky, everyone has the potential to become a gambling addict, so always use a fully conscious mind when gambling.

I have never been addicted to gambling but i have to agree that gambling addiction is one that is very hard to control once the urge comes, i know this because i used to have a friend who was so addicted to gambling, and each time we get talking, and i advise him to try and cut down on his gambling habit, or stop it completely, he would agree and later on move on to keep gambling even Worster than before.

So one day, when he had gambled away all of his salary for the month while the month was still very young, he came to me and asked me to borrow him some money, but i refused knowing fully well he did nothing good with the salary we both collected like a week ago, aside gambling, i told him i cant lend him any money since i am very sure that he has gambled away all his salary, he started begging me and later on, i asked him why can't he just stop gambling since he can see that gambling is not helping him financially, he then opened up to me that several a times he has tried to stop, but he only succeeded not to gamble when he is completely broke, but whenever money enters his hand, he will be feeling so restless until he steps out and engage himself in a gambling activity.

He was battling with this addiction until i traveled out and we were no longer communicating, really hope he is free from that addiction by now, since it's been several years i haven't spoken with him, though we are friends on Facebook and i constantly see his posts from time to time.
