Yes, you are right, with a plan or target set at the beginning, they will play with limits, I hope all gamblers are like this, although there are people who gamble with a target but they hesitate when they get a win, they hesitate to stop or continue. But many people continue their game when they get a win, because maybe they think they are lucky and if they continue it is still lucky so they can get a bigger win, but most of the time it is the opposite, by continuing their game they lose and the winnings they get are also hasbi and there is a sense of regret or annoyance.

I hope all gamblers do what you said so that there is no resentment or regret at the end, and they should also realize that not every round they will be lucky.

Being addicted to gambling is really as if someone is mad in real life, but in this case, it's only on the way he gambles and he's likely most to be affected by the way he live his life as well, addiction will take our time and also stops us from having interest on other things, we are most likely to be broke, being an addicted gambler because all the money we have will always be chanelled towards gambling, we may loose focus on other things in such a way.

Addiction is really a sickness, people who are addicted to gambling can be termed sicklers because that is their sickness,it brings pain to them almost every minute,and the most annoying part of it is that they find it very difficult to stop it.It is important for every gambler to know that he or she has a problem and a sickness that he must look for a way to stop,if not,their life wont make any sense.I know every gambler has a day that they will laugh,but those days are always very hard to come.
I know I'm also suffering from gambling addiction,but now I have known how to live within my means to avoid being broke every minute.

This means that we must always remember that when gambling, we always limit the use of money so that we don't lose a lot of money because in gambling, the loss can come at any time while winning is difficult. Gambling is indeed only for fun and not to make money, so we also have to remember that we gamble for fun, and if we have had enough fun, we should immediately stop gambling and leave the casino. By always limiting gambling, we can prevent a lot of losses and if we win, we will always try to stop gambling immediately rather than continuing to gamble because that could make us lose again.

Any addict will not value the money they need to pay for their craving.

The same happens with alcohol. It doesn't matter how much they are paying, an alcoholic will continue buying more and more bottles until they are broke.

Similar to a gambling addict, they will keep betting until they are broke.

I agree with your statement, it is indeed a safer way and is really recommended for all gamblers whether they are experienced or even beginners, still a budget must be the main concern because that will determine whether you are a responsible gambler who can accept all the risks that might occur or not. In my opinion, usually those who do not like to pay attention in terms of the amount of money they will budget are that they put a little hope there, such as putting big money with the aim of getting a big win, even though gambling is nothing more than an entertainment activity, but well forget it maybe they are prospective gamblers who will be addicted.

As you said that gambling addicts will not think about that, but instead they want to bring a bigger budget because they think with a large amount of opportunities or chances of winning will be bigger or higher, even though the actual facts do not say that. And well hopefully they can immediately realize and be able to reduce the amount of the budget, because that's the best thing so they don't suffer too much with big losses.

The decision to initially budget a certain amount of money to for gambling at a given period of time and to temporary quit gambling immediately the money is exhausted without a major win from the concerned gambler is on thing every gambler must do in other not to exceed their expected limits in gambling.
But the sad reality is that many gamblers just go to gambling centers as well as online gambling without prior plan about their spendings in gambling and which in so many occasions has resulted to regrets after they must have lost more than they can bear. Gambling involves staking a certain amount of money in other to win more and that's why a gambler isn't supposed to determine his gambling limit by the limits of others around him rather should plan himself before gambling.

safest thing is just to plan from home to bring enough money to gamble and keep in mind to appreciate money, no matter how small. indeed gambling addicts will not think about this no matter how much money they bring to gamble but as a regular gambler it is better to always remember how gambling works just to have fun so you don't need to bring too much money to gambling and don't need to follow other friends gambling styles. .

I just think that if we win gambling with friends, they can pressure us to continue playing instead of deciding to stop. And most of us will follow friends' invitations and not stop even though we want to stop gambling. This is where we have to be able to refuse friends' invitations to return to gambling because we are tired and need rest or whatever the reason is. And as good friends, they don't need to force us to continue gambling because they know their friends' limits will be different from theirs. In this case, we are the ones who decide the limits and must be able to uphold those limits so that we do not continue gambling. If our friends still want to gamble, we just let them and we can watch them gamble at the table.

We will see this same character in most gamblers. Where a gambler starts gambling at some stage they will become addicted. People who greed more are more likely to become addicted. If any good advice is given to him at that time, he will react adversely. Their instinct is always to win at gambling. At some point, when they repeatedly lose gambling and empty their bankroll, they begin to behave differently, starting from borrowing money to manage their bankroll. Some times they take part in elligal activities. Gambling is not a problem, but once these symptoms appear, they can become deadly.

You're not getting it, the theory is that this is what's happening but it's not unless you've experienced it yourself because if you've experienced winning big then you know that the high of being a winner is going to cloud your judgment combine that with peer pressure and the fallacious mindset that your first win might not just be your only win for that day and first thing you know, you're just putting back the money that you've won back into gambling hoping to get another win.

True, I think that is one of the most dangerous thing about gambling. It can be so fast.

Some gamblers potentially have lost their entire life savings in a single day at the casino.

That's rarely what happens in other addictions where it usually takes some time to get to rock bottom.

There is no point in adding funds to gamble just because you don't want to be left behind by your friends who already use large funds to gamble because the financial capabilities of one person and another will be different. Increasing funds for gambling will increase the possibility of losing that they can experience in gambling. Instead of experiencing losses that could be bigger than usual, they should limit the use of funds for gambling and not follow the funds used by their friends because we have to control ourselves when gambling. Let our friends who really want to use larger funds because it is their money and they can accept big losses compared to us.

That's why if we are gambling with friends, we have to know our limits so that we don't cross the line and don't spend money gambling. Never borrow money to gamble because it will not give good results, especially if we experience a lot of losses, including the money we borrow. We will also have difficulty returning the money we borrow because all the money is lost at the gambling table without us having the opportunity to win.

if you are that someone whos really that having that kind of greedy thinking and behavior then you would really be getting get easily hooked up with gambling addiction or simply in a short time period.
To those who are really that having that kind of control and awareness on such condition are the ones who would really be able to assess out the situation and can really be able to
avoid addiction on such phase. Once you do get hooked with addiction then it would really be that hard to get out and this is something that should really be avoided
in the first place.

Gambling isnt bad as long you are really that doing this with moderation. You cant really be able to find yourself to be successful on gambling field yet this isnt a career
or something which you could really be able to have on long term or brings out benefit but rather this is really just that good for the sake
of entertainment nothingless.

Addiction is something everyone who gambles should avoid and although it's a matter of self discipline but most people are fragile in their mindset and that's why they fall victim to such habit. Addiction in gambling isn't as crazy drug addiction but just imagine when someone is addicted to both things, it mean that person will have it very hard to actually resurrected himself because both the Brain and the mind will struggle from two activity can destroys these part easily.

that what sometimes makes ordinary gamblers become addicted just because they compare themselves with other friends in terms of the amount of their budget or more precisely, its like prestige if they only use a small budget while other friends bring large budgets and finally the gambler has to increase his budget in various ways and the most common way is just to borrow money from other friends or other parties.

well, this is the mistake of an ordinary gambler just because of pride he is willing to look for a loan just to equalize his capital with other friends to cover up his shame and while he forgets that gambling is not for who has the most money who has the smallest money but gambling is just for fun and ends If he loses he loses all his money and on the one hand he has to return the money he has borrowed and this is where the bad things start and it becomes an addiction.

Exactly, basically there are still many other ways that are more effective if they just want to find fun and entertainment which is also of course without risk, but I don't know that it is very difficult to do if their mindset has been instigated by gambling. It is none other than because it is true as you said that the excitement has made them forget about everything including the great risks they can face at any time, and not only that, one of the other impacts that can befall them is that their family relationships can be destroyed and also maybe their friendships with other people will also be greatly disturbed because of the impact of gambling.

Therefore we must really be able to avoid these activities, none other than because it is also for our own good, I am sure that anyone including those who have entered the addiction phase actually does not want something like that to happen to him, because obviously they will also definitely admit that the impact of gambling is very bad, especially for their finances. So the point is and especially for those who just want to gamble I hope to consider first, see the risks first, if indeed they are not ready for worse results then it is better to avoid and look for other alternatives if you want to find pleasure.

Rightly said it is insanity and gambling addiction is a disease which manifests as a person cannot play. Excitement absorbs so strongly that the game becomes the only meaning of life. Such behavior moral and family values are completely destroyed a person forgets about family and friends breaks his career. This sometimes goes beyond gambling and becomes a chronic problem that affects their overall well-being. Gambling addiction is a widespread problem, with millions of people around the world struggling with this problem. The accessibility of online gambling platforms has further contributed to the increase in gambling addiction in recent years.

If they're playing with friends, it's best to maintain boundaries so they know when to stop. They also can't compare the capital they have with their friends' capital, especially since friends bring a lot of money to gamble while we only bring a little money. We have to control ourselves while gambling so that we don't gamble excessively and the important thing is that we know when to stop gambling. Maybe we will stop earlier than our friends and that's okay because we just want always to limit our gambling and still have money to gamble another day. We also can't spend all the money at once because we must maintain the allocation of money we use for gambling to have enough money to gamble another day. And we also have to control ourselves when we have won and stop immediately because that is enough for us. And if our friends ask us to gamble again, we can say that we've had enough gambling and need a break.

Not most people, I think that the reason why you think that most people that win big and continue playing in hopes of getting more wins is probably because you're playing mostly with your friends and we know that most of the time, people that are playing with friends succumb to peer pressure to gamble more even after a significant win because of the combined belief that the win you've got might not be the only win you can get. Maybe if you're playing alone, you might be able to quit while you're ahead but if you still can't then the problem isn't with your friends anymore.
