How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?

What is your personal view on this[/b]

In my opinion, distinguishing between gambling for fun and gambling as an addiction means that we must be able to apply a healthy mindset, namely by limiting the betting budget, limiting the time when we should gamble and not expecting too much to win there because gambling is unpredictable and only relies on luck. just there.
And it is clear that the effect is extraordinary if we forget and lose the application of self-control because it is certain that the effect will be detrimental to ourselves and change the fate of our lives much worse and suffer because the casino effect is very high risk so we should be aware that to a greater or lesser extent we will experienced it too.

The idea of personal responsibility has always been the key to evade from addiction but her is the big question.

How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?

by implementing rules themselves, having rules to follow when gambling can make you aware of what you do and in doing so see if there is behavioural change in yourself.

yes, being aware of the possible side effects of gambling helps people not to engage too much in gambling despite the thrill it can offer. that being said, there is still the possibility of people getting addicted despite knowing the possible side effects of gambling and this is why implementing rules for yourself when gambling is important, it acts as a layer of "protection" for you.

Before you access any gambling site, you should already know your boundaries and limits. Though it is easy to forget what you promised to yourself, but you can always remind yourself why you are exploring the world of gambling, your financial capabilities and why you are indulging yourself in this addictive activity?

It can be fun and entertaining if you are not compromising your financials. But if you still continue to play despite of financial hurdles, that's when you will start having problems owed to gambling. Gambling itself is not harmful, but it is the person's behaviour that it can make it harmful to him.

That's very true, someone who decides to gamble should have a good understanding of gambling, at least he should ask gambling advice from people who are experienced. It must be admitted that limits in gambling are really needed, don't let our finances become a mess because of addiction. I find a lot of people who go into debt to play slot games, even in small amounts, but in my opinion it has gone too far. Of course the borrowed money can be returned in a matter of hours, if they are lucky, but most of them often experience losses.

The best gambling advice I have ever heard is don't go into debt to gamble, it will lead someone to the brink of ruin and frustration. It's true, gambling will be fun if we know the limits, adjust to the finances we have budgeted.

This all depends on ourselves in viewing and understanding gambling. With all the risks and negative impacts of gambling, for me gambling is a hobby and fun. However, I have to pay a high price to be able to carry out this hobby and enjoy it, and what I have experienced in gambling, the possibility of losing is always greater than winning, but I consider the losses I experience to be a fair price, which I have to pay to get that pleasure. As long as we gamble with an amount of money that we are ready to lose and ready to lose. I don't think gambling will cause serious financial problems. However, when we consider that gambling is nothing more than just a hobby and fun, then stick to that understanding, don't let it be that just because of the winnings you get, you have a different opinion about gambling and say that it is not only about fun but also about making a profit. This understanding will only make you even crazier about gambling, and lose a lot of money and suffer a lot of losses from gambling.

Gambling, done right, can be a fun way to pass the time. The best folks, real winners, understand its entertainment, you pay for the thrill. But here's the thing, and a lot of people dont get this – the human brain is tricky. It'll find ways to justify anything, even stuff that hurts you down the line. You're on track now, taking losses in stride, thats the right mindset. But even the smartest guys can get caught up.

I know a thing or two about psychology. Once you start thinking about gambling as a way to make money, not just fun... thats where things get dangerous. Suddenly, those losses sting more. You bet bigger to make it back. You get in too deep. The point is, be careful. Be the smartest guy in the room, dont let yourself get fooled by your own brain.

Thats a big "IF" but since we do know that not all would really be sharing up on the same mindset and impressions then they do really ends up whether they would really be responsible in towards their actions or they would really be that trying to make themselves believe into something which cant really be possible specially in dealing up with gambling. It is really just that something which is good for past time or simply for fun but if you do derail yourself into something which does have that wishful thinking about getting rich then this is where wrong shit things would start to happen.

Gambling is something that should really be just that for fun but since human beings are greedy then this is what pushes them to play with having that kind of different approach
on which they've been making themselves that been expecting that they could really be able to make themselves winner all the time on which its really something a very wrong
kind of thinking.

How to draw a line? The best way to do it is not to get drunk. You talk a lot about drinks and how much they cost. Don't drink when you gamble. Order drinks with no alcohol, like juice or cola.

Bet money that don't mean a lot to you. Players who don't have much and bet high are the first to get addicted and fall into those traps where they try to get even and lose even more.

Drinking alcohol and gambling at the same time should be discouraged. This is because you might get drunk unknown to you due to anxiety of winning or losing which will make you loss all your bankroll to alcohol and gamble, because you are been controlled by alcohol. Gambling takes money from us, and it is very risky to gamble with the intention of winning. Alcohol also takes money from us, and when it is taken excessively, it will control and mess you up. Joining these two vices together is a great danger to one's bankroll. This is why one need to gamble responsible and only use the amount of money that you can afford to lose for gambling, and also drink responsible when gambling.

There would really be only two possible things on which you could treat gambling on;

1. For fun
2. For money/getting rich

If you are going with that #1 then no matter what you do then there's no way that gambling could wreck you up mainly in finances. You had made out yourself that wary about the risk.
With having that kind of sense of responsibility then it would really be just that normal that you would really be able to adjust.

If you are going on #2 then this is where most gamblers do really messed up their lives. Why? Once you do put up into your mind that gambling could really that make you rich
then this is the time that you would really be making up yourself that desperate. Why? you would really be trying out to make those things happen even if it means
that you would really be spending up tons of money or simply using your life savings with it, until you would realize that everything is gone.

Both I guess. I do enjoy gambling due to thrilling experience but I would be lying if I'd say I'm not looking towards profit by any means; of course gamblers would expect for such thing which is why they bet in the first place. If one player is just seeking for entertainment, perhaps with sportsbetting, then he could just watch the game solely as a fan and without any amount of money involved.

This could yield to a split with the idea such that a girl should be and so forth. Losing will be always more certain which is why another purpose could be taking jts llace.. The only probem is with people's expancy just @

I have to chose both as well. I don’t gamble just merely for fun, but to actually gain additional money aside from my capital. Let’s face it, gamblers don’t experience absolute fun if there are no profits involved, unless if you just want to play simply to ease your boredom and have some fun. But it’s rare to see people like this, as majority do gamble to earn a living, or to anticipate big winnings so they will recover all their previous losses.

However, I don’t advise people to gamble and expect potential profits all the time. There is no guarantee winning in gambling, so just gamble on the amount you are comfortable of losing, so that if your games end up at loss, you will never see yourself regretting in the end.

Sharing the bad experience of other gamblers I think is one of the best motivation for those that can't stop themselves. If they can't do anything to help themselves to stop with their addiction, maybe hearing some real stories about how these folks didn't able to overcome gambling might give them a shot of a warning. The effect of it that it had brought to anyone could be a nightmare that they don't want to experience or even at least get a peek of it because who wants to be broke because of gambling? I doubt that there is but even if we don't want to but if we get to that point, we're going to experience it if we're unstoppable.

Quote from: AbuBhakar on April 15, 2024, 08:34:44 AM

A simple game can turn to become so serious and result to life wrecking experience when money is already involved. This is why its very hard to play pure entertainment when you are risking money.

That's why if they don't help themselves or don't do anything to make their lives right. Maybe, hearing someone that have been through that wrecking experience that has caused their lives into chaos and havoc then they might think twice if they're going to continue with their behavior towards gambling. Because it's not always that we're able to hear someone share his failure story instead of successful one.

Are you new to it? And did you experience it your self or you only learn it from reading threads on this section? But whichever they are, it's great that you are now learning. Even though I haven't seen a survey yet, to know if what percentage of gamblers are playing for the profit and for entertainment, I can agree with you that many people are playing for the profit because this is what I have observed in myself and the people around me.

I doubt that there will be a realistic survey available to determine gamblers if they are playing for profit or fun because everyone will said that they are just doing it for fun even though their focus is profit because it’s very hard to focus only on entertainment if you are already losing in the game.

Emotions and money is different from each other but money can allow us to feel a lot of emotions.

Yeah, this is very true. Money can make everything serious. A simple game can turn to become so serious and result to life wrecking experience when money is already involved. This is why its very hard to play pure entertainment when you are risking money.

I think your number one question is very simple. And to have fun is to play games either in locally and intentionally and that will not lead you to any addiction but just for fun. Even when you come to Online and visit casino website which offer free games to lay and you can have fun there with with friends or alone. But whereby you use money to bet and planing to win more then it becomes gambling and when the gambler is edger to win more and more then addiction will definitely come to him. Addiction can be controlled if the gambler wants to. And yes educating gamblers help them to control them and if that they want it.

The easy way to know if someone is having fun or getting addicted while gambling is see what they will do after they lose. If they did bad things e.g. screaming, hurting himself, destroy anything around them, it means they're addicts.

But if they show nothing serious, this will be tricky. It's either a responsible gambler or a hopeless, you need to ask their money management to know if they're in good financial or not.

Apart from that addicts have a habit of not being able to control their money when they are involved in gambling, so it will make it more difficult for them to control themselves. Especially if you injure yourself, it will make you more frustrated when you lose. Gambling will be much more complicated when someone does not have control because it will affect psychology and if we are not able to control it, then involvement in gambling will end badly.

Financial chaos is caused by a person's inability to control spending and that doesn't just talk about gambling. When income is unstable and they are involved in irresponsible gambling then it will be even more dangerous because it will be much more difficult to control themselves.

What I have learn so far about gambling is that it brought destruction to people who feel addicted to it. There are not many who take it for the purpose of entertainment only. If you follow this section of gambling discussion then there are scores of stories where people lost everything in gambling. To me it's an activity that is advisable only if you have control over your emotions. Those who can't control there emotions aka money while gambling are deemed to lose.

Are you new to it? And did you experience it your self or you only learn it from reading threads on this section? But whichever they are, it's great that you are now learning. Even though I haven't seen a survey yet, to know if what percentage of gamblers are playing for the profit and for entertainment, I can agree with you that many people are playing for the profit because this is what I have observed in myself and the people around me.

Everyone can play gambling because at first thought, it was only a fun activity to do and people can still learn from their mistakes, just in case they get on the wrong path. Emotions and money is different from each other but money can allow us to feel a lot of emotions.

You gamble for fun, or you gamble to make money from it. What really matters and can either get you addicted or unaddicted is your personal control.

You can still be gambling for fun and get addicted to the game, having so much fun on it that you can no longer control your gambling hours.

You can also be gambling to make financial gain and also get addicted because you will be so obsessed with getting profit from gambling to the extent that you will lose control.

So if you can have control and obey your set-up limit, then you have nothing to worry about getting addicted to.

That's right, whatever the purpose or motive of gambling is, but what is clear is that gambling can be addictive, many people who gamble can't resist the temptation of gambling, so the gambling they do can make them addicted, with the end of the gambling they do, losing can cause them to lose. they become curious and as a result it makes them gamble again, especially when they win, it can clearly make them addicted, because when they win the thought of being able to win again will be there and that leads them to gamble continuously.

People who are obsessed with pursuing victory will of course be addicted to gambling and that will only get them into trouble. In my opinion, gambling to make a profit is not right, because profits or wins in gambling cannot be obtained with certainty. Meanwhile, for those who gamble obsessed with winning, I don't think they will be able to accept defeat, which is more certain than winning.

1. If you are just having fun then you know when to stop. How can someone get addicted to that? Also, our money is not unlimited so there will come a point where you want to stop because you are losing a big chunk of money. The planned amount to gamble should also be considered, an amount where you are certain that you are ready to lose because that's what will always happen if you keep on playing.

2. I didn't educate myself about gambling side effects and yet I know when to stop. If you do care about your money then I bet you also know if you are crossing the line. Experience will help, if you have been in a position where you are cornered and don't have any money anymore to play, that's when you will think about what you have done and how to manage it next time. Also, we should not be prioritizing gambling if we have a job and a family, you can use those to help yourself mentally and to stop when you are going overboard and spending too much.

Learn your limits I guess? That's pretty much the only way you can avoid being addicted really. Now there's many ways you can go about this, you can go fully enjoy yourself, look back and then identify a set limit that you'd think you'd have enough fun, or you can try to set a limit prior already and adopt the lifestyle of your experience through that (which is what I do) or other methods that you'd know yourself. In the end it's a process of self-identifying what your limits are.

Education is jack really when it comes to gambling, there's nothing much you'd ever really need to learn about it. Experience of others maybe, but most people never really relate themselves unless they're put in the same situation as others, so it's close to useless most of the time.

Gamblers who face situations like this are gamblers who do not know when to stop. When the situation is no longer favourable, stop playing after the last failed attempt and quit chasing after losses. No matter the reason for gambling, it will lead to more havoc if it is abused by the gambler. Gambling is only fun and profitable when it is done rightly within a favorable limit and with a right state of mind free from any form of pressure. Many think quitting halfway is a sign of weakness, but as far as gambling is concerned, quitting most times keeps one safe from further troubles. I have never been in a situation where I have to gamble with a heavy heart like the guy in OP,s experience. If I ever find myself in such situation, I will save myself by withdrawing from such a game even if I am at the losing side.

It depends on the gambler.

Even if you educate tons of them when they're certain to engage in gambling then it won't stop them. With the thrilling experience that description you're giving, it's not actually all about it.

There's more to it and that's what makes someone gamble more and that's through the potential profit that anyone can make out of it.

And aside from that, the fun that it can give them is whatever the side effect that it can give will be temporarily forgotten due to it.
