Hopefully, those of us who often play gambling can always control our emotions and continue to learn to control them because I feel that controlling these emotions still needs to be improved. We may have experienced a near loss of self-control that nearly caused us to use up all the money or even more. But with our experiences, it turns out that they can still help us maintain that emotional control so that it doesn't disappear. While we have seen how gamblers lose money at the gambling table because they lose self-control and eventually become frustrated.

If there is no self-control, we will only lose more money. And if people who have won at gambling are even more eager to find or get another win, they will only regret it because the winning money can disappear even more quickly. We can only hope we won't experience it in the future so we won't get addicted to gambling.

Gambling addiction is something we should avoid. After all, that is the impact gamblers can experience if they don't stop for a while after playing gambling. They can play gambling in moderation and with the money they can afford so they don't feel the effects.

If we can realize that gambling will not give win but loss, we can learn from what we have experienced. And if we try to calculate how much money we have used and how much money we have won, maybe that can make us think that we have to reduce it so we don't get carried away with the offers provided by gambling.

Many people pursue financial freedom but use it the wrong way so they can't get it. And gambling is not the way to get financial freedom so they have to think of another way.

I want to believe that the case brought to us here is extremely rare: a grandfather who kidnapped his own granddaughter to be able to continue gambling. But, uncommon cases apart, I think that we all should reflect a little bit before starting gambling, like how much money and time do we want to spend doing that, or one's psychological state and environment.

Because the experience is not the same for someone who has financial freedom and a beatutiful family as for someone who is depressed and desperately looking for an escape route.

Gambling addiction is not only that when we lose money we attempt to gamble more in order to recover the loss. Even people who win in gambling, thier lust for making profit never comes to an end. They keep on gambling more and more until thier winnings are converted into losses.

Thus it proves that gambling addiction is not related directly to win or losses. No matter the results, those who are addicted to gambling will never stop playing. They may spend all of thier money in gambling and even spend by taking loans or selling their important household items.

The disadvantages of gambling addiction is unlimited but the gamblers will never understand this.

Yes it may be that difficult to control emotions and the same way it will be very difficult to avoid losses because the more you're attempting for more opportunities the more you're loosing with failed results, there's nothing like continuing gambling when you're running too much lost on a bid to make recovery on the lost already gone on thin air, we gamble not because we got frustrated with the results we have in it, we gamble because we are satisfied with any results we received because we understand the principles in winning or loosing while gambling.

Any addiction is bad and excess of everything is bad. be it gambling or drinking or any thing. Has anyone read about seven deadly sin  one of them is lust - lust of anything is bad even if it is lust of knowledge.
So one should not cross the red line!

It's very hard to control emotions because of losing money, not just gambling. But that's what happens when we gamble without good self-control. Sadness will come to us but we still have the opportunity not to be too sad anymore by reducing gambling activities so we can still have money. Everyone will react differently when they lose money from gambling, but everyone will be sad. And the difference is that some may consider it a risk from playing gambling but some consider it nothing because they don't really think about losing money at the gambling table.

At first the method was done for fun and to get a lot of profit. So gradually there will be a perception that gambling makes a lot of money so it will become addictive.
Gambling will not always provide benefits, there will be events where money will disappear and continue to get losses. if they are hooked, more and more money will be added and lost for nothing. this will be a ticking time bomb that sends them out of control. addiction will have long term repercussions and this will not be good. need early control and awareness that gambling that is too forced will have a bad impact.

You have a good point here, people must have in mind that gambling is a way to have fun and not a way to make money, because while more money you chase more money you will lose in the long run. And the worst part is the mental health, a bad gambling streak could end in depression and in worse scenarios can lead to suicide.

And just as with any addiction, it must be treated before it's too late for it.

True.

You need a day or two for grieving for your lost money, but then you must let it go and focus on the present.

There's no positive in focusing on the past, it will just make you miserable your whole life.

The point of the past is to not repeat the same mistakes again. Learn from it and move on.

you are working on promoting a casino even if it is a casino that uses dirty methods to withhold people's funds, but let's leave that aside, the point is that when a person promotes a product or a company (in this case a casino) It is important that this person is the first to play in that casino, because the person will be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of using the casino that he is advertising and with that he will not lie when someone asks if he can use the casino that he is advertising, at that moment you will already know how to give a better answer, also if all people are not playing in the casino then how will the casino pay you?

this is another point, the casino needs to have a lot of people playing to be able to make a profit and pay you, if the casino doesn't have many customers who play a lot and with a lot of money then the casino will go bankrupt and with that it won't pay you anything, about this issue of banning gambling because of a religious issue, I think it is nonsense and even ironic, because the term gambling has nothing to do with luck or bad luck in practice, it has to do with mathematics (probability), it has nothing to do with myths. but muslims insist with their religion stuff, anyway it's something so sick the evil things that religion has done and said it's better that I don't dwell on this subject

I don't think you can control emotions if you have lost a lot of money gambling. You have to imagine that you have lost all your savings and then you can imagine that you are very angry and sad about that? they are not only emotions of anger but also of loss and grief. Those are things that are very normal. Not everyone gets aggressive and angry after losing a lot of money. Some people only end up in a negative spiral and suffer from considerable depression.

Well, every one is not addicted, yeah, atleast, I know I am not addicted, cus reason is that..
1.. I gamble, and I am not rich yet, but I still pay all my bills and still have a large sum invested in bitcoin and other major altcoins.

And secondly, gambling addiction can still be easily controlled, it only depends on the level of addiction and the addicted patient , it depends on their mental strength and capabilities, there are gambler who get addicted, and one day, decide to stop gambling, and they would easily stop gambling without medical help or help from family or friends..
But then, there are still others who after getting addicted, will take extreme medical help for them to come out it, and even at this, the chances of going back to such addiction is still there.

So in conclusion, getting addicted to gambling, and getting rid of addiction all depends on the individual addicted, and their level of will power.

even worse is when the poor people who come into gambling ambitiously think of doubling the remaining money they have. but in reality the person lost several times and in the end he felt that he had lost the money he had lost at gambling after that his emotions increased and chased the defeat which resulted in addiction.
as some people have said here that a positive mindset when gambling is very necessary and drives away thoughts of big wins.

People who gamble all deal with addiction in their own way. It is also not easy to get a gambling addiction under control. The problem is that you immediately experience the financial consequences, which means that you can no longer even pay certain bills. That is a completely different story with other addictions. You can't always tell if someone is dealing with a (serious) gambling addiction. In that respect, it is an addiction that can slowly destroy and break someone from the inside. What to do if it makes you aggressive and angry?

Gambling addicts will not be able to see what will happen to them when they do stupid things that violate the law because their mind have been possessed by evil

in today's modern society, all parties must be able to prevent the crime committed by gambling addicts from increasing so that nothing else is harmed because it could happen to your nephew or small children around you

This is too much, kidnapping your own daughter is really too much, well they wont call as addicts if they would not do something terrible, the addiction of gambling is really high nowadays, they will really do something just to have money and to continue on gambling, specially if they had lost their money in gambling, they will really do things to earn money even just to hurt one of their family's or doing such things like what that old man have done to his grandaughter.

Gambling addiction is really a big problem in a community, we should alwas keep our mind good and dont let gambling control our mind to do terrible things, if we lose then we should accept it, there's no need to do bad things to have money and to continue playing again, we can still play in some other days if we already have money, do not sacrifice yourself identity just to gamble.

In most cases that's what happened and the poor think that playing with their money is the best way to change their life but they have it contrary because if they cannot afford to stop, the next thing they find out is they are addicted to it which they cannot control themselves anymore. There are only a few rich people who lose their minds when they lose everything because of gambling and most people that are victims with the mindset of gambling will make them rich, are poor because they are the ones who are quickly losing their money and property. when they lose everything most likely they lose their minds as well.

Most of the time, that's the outcome. If you will deal with it in a long-term process, you can win, then losses it, back then just repeat it all over again and the outcome favor the losing side. As time goes by and you will keep trying to recover those losses and instead of making something good when you manage to find some luck, but due to the wrong impression with luck, you'll push more and lose it back after.

Better not to play or yes, doing it occasionally might work, but trying to win against the house it would just lead you to have more problem in both mentally and physically.

It's good if you already know what your goal is in gambling, and it's just for fun because it's true that you say that gambling can be addictive for everyone. Maybe making a strategy will help you make gambling a place for fun. Meanwhile, other people must know how to treat gambling so it doesn't get out of hand. And self-control is needed so that we don't become addicted because addiction can come quickly without realizing it.

Those already experiencing stress from work or after working all day do not need to gamble if they know it. They can use other things that may not cost money just for fun. But that's us. We even try to play gambling, and many of us eventually become addicted. Even at first, we have no intention of playing gambling for a long time and just want to have fun. And when we lose at gambling, instead of realizing that those are the risks of gambling, we get angry and want to recover from that loss.

Yeah, but it's a delicate balance.

Some people are not able to control themselves and end up losing their entire life savings in a single night, trying to recover their previous loses.

Although some people might enjoy the occasional visit to the casino, there are also many other forms of entertainment that don't come with this huge risk of catastrophic financial consequences.

But of course, everyone should be able to choose for themselves and gamble as much or as little as they want for whatever reasons they have.

All that I'm saying here is that the most probable outcome in gambling is to lose your money in the long term.
