Topic: What is gambling to you, a fanfare or potential financial havoc? - page 4. (Read 865 times)

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.

When we are in a casino, the best way to live a great experience is based on a high financial education. For me, things with this have to be with the maturity of the people , if someone cannot control themselves when playing with your money, because the experience you will have will be unpleasant, with respect to the line you are talking about about fun, it is You have to get it before even going to a casino, how? allocating only some Money to play in the casino, and that money is what is respected for playing, there should be no other way of doing things, not going crazy , if we control the money, we can let our emotions be present in the casino, that is why these Topics create Awareness in some way among the players, I do it like this, it is better to control the money than control the emcoins and the experience, the fun increases, it can also be Said that the Losses in a casino They must be Accepted and not seek Revenge.

How we can draw a line between having fun and getting addicted is that we can't go until excessive dopamine comes out. It means that a strategy must be set before starting gambling, it can be by setting a limit on both loss and win. And every time you gamble, make sure that the fund you are going to invest does not affect your real life. You only invest what you can afford to lose. And yes, of course, some good suggestions or gambling related side effects can be saved from the hand of gambling addiction if a newbie is told in advance. And maybe he can enjoy some thrilling entertainment experience in his remaining time here.

After reading everything, I believe it's all about you trying to control yourself. Yes, both experience and happiness with all the things that could get you addicted are there, it can be controlled if you are to discipline yourself. Discipline could help you draw the line in this crazy gambling life you know?

I don't consider betting with friends dangerous and is far from causing addiction or similar issues to any person doing it.I remember when I was in university we always used to place bets against each other me and some friends and the bets were normally for Champions League games with ranges from 5-50 dollars max per game,anyone could afford such amount and we only played at that specific time,this is a fun activity which can boost the way you watch a game,I miss doing it with real friends as online I have done it sometimes.

The danger is when a person starts for fun then the next day against all odds he is all alone in the casino playing any game possible as he thinks he is going to get rich with it,these people are the weakest when it comes to making more money.

We all gamble but our purpose and mindsets towards gambling vary, so it is this mindset and purpose that determine our motives for gambling and what we derive from it as well. If you want fun in gambling, there is a way you approach it and the losses incurred in it will not be hurtful, especially if you are such that is wise enough to plan the risk effectively. Those seeking fun in gambling might just gamble about $3 in the whole session, so by virtue of this small amount, they are not hurt and the losses may not be an issue. This may even be viewed as a means to access the funfilled service directly.

I do this a lot and it is fun indeed. But if it is about the money and the money is not coming forth when the gambler is always losing, this can't be funny and such a gambler will surely frown his face at the situation. However, with both the fun and money-making in gambling, addiction may occur. whereas, many mistake the addiction for fun derivation, but in practice, it may happen if you make gambling your hobby and you don't make any effort to be cautious about it or control it. Of course, it will control you.

Education about gambling is not to scare people away in my opinion but to let them know the impending danger of not gambling rightly. This education is even advisable so that the gambler knows what to face ahead and plans towards it. If many had been educated about gambling beforehand, they might have not been victims the way they are today. They would have been more cautious and believed that it is not the place to seek desperate money like many do which leads to desperation and addiction that are frustrating.

That's how gambling activities should be carried out and when person place gambling not as an activity that needs to be done all the time then it will be much easier for person to control gambling. The main priorities remain work and family because these are real responsibilities for men who are married or not, while gambling is only enjoyed on holidays as an effort to refresh from the stress of work. We will get pleasure from gambling if our involvement in it is interpreted as the arguments you give.

Make ourselves more disciplined, especially regarding work and family and we must prioritize what is important first. Gambling responsibly is not a problem because we are much more able to control ourselves, therefore we must learn to be responsible for our involvement in gambling and we must place gambling as an activity for mere pleasure.

You’re right about the importance of how we frame gambling in our minds. Seeing it as a casual pastime rather than a quick financial fix is crucial. Personally, I think creating a healthy gambling environment also depends on the support systems we have around us.
Moreover, the role of education can’t be overstressed. By educating people about the risks and the importance of self-control in gambling, much like we do with other health and safety issues, we can equip them with the tools to enjoy gambling without falling into the pitfalls. It’s all about balance and making informed choices, really.

It would be a shame if people who are already addicted continue to play it again. There is a lot of wisdom out there for people who have experienced losing at gambling. In fact, as we know, gambling games are created by a system created by the owner so that you lose. Why do they keep playing? This is their main way to make instant money without having to work hard. Yes, when I see people who are addicted to common sense or logic, their thinking is no longer clear.

The breaking point for those of you who are addicted to gambling is when you are determined to do whatever it takes to be able to gamble and continue to do so. they will continue to look for funds, whether it is borrowing from friends or relatives, you will reverse previous losses for me it is impossible. Because this is impossible to happen and for those of you who are addicted or involved in gambling, you should stop right now, forget all the big losses that have occurred, and never look back and continue living a much better life. better than gambling.

Which means, being successful in gambling doesn't mean how much you win but how well you are doing in real life after you place your bet. Because if you one a million dollars yet you broke your family or your health because of gambling, where would be the success in that? That's why I agree that gambling is a pitfall, because regard of how well you are in life. But once you lose your control over yourself, that's the beginning the trap. So learn how to manage yourself and preserve your wins and capital.

Gamblers get fatigued while brainstorming on the right choice to make in a game. The exercise consumes excessive brainpower and takes away strength for willpower from the gambler. Leaving the player in the dilemma of what next is right to do about a specific decision. Whether to stop or continue. Money has already gone down the money pit. Going after it seems to be a better option. Who else wouldn't go after lost money? It's a normal human phenomenon. When a child's money falls out of his pocket, he'd go back looking for it. The casino or house, work strides ahead to formulate a better means of manipulating the player's human psychology. Too many blames are on the side of the foul gamblers as I may tag them, for chasing after losses. But that's how we all think.

Psychotherapists also have stated that anybody can be a victim of this pursuit. And continually trying out this chase, requires more money. That is the player must wager to get his money back. The search now gets weary for the player, with no strength of control. He'd lose it and go after it like a cheetah. There he makes the biggest mistake of his gambling journey. Hence, staying woke on the energy left in us is a super good decision other than paying much attention on the money. The emotions control how we spend money, so the thoughts of the gambler should be on his emotions. Not to get tired and lose his self-control. Where he wouldn't get a hold of how he wagers his money.

Well, gambling can really swing either way.

Drawing the line between having a good time and slipping into addiction can be tricky since the transition can be seamless and often unnoticed until it’s a bit late. It’s kind of like eating chips—you start with just one, and before you know it, you’ve finished the whole bag! But still, everything under your controle.

Education on the side effects of gambling could definitely be helpful. Just as we learn about the risks of things like alcohol and smoking, knowing the possible downsides of gambling might make someone think twice before getting too deep into it. Knowledge is power, after all!

Personally, I think everything in moderation works best. Gambling isn’t inherently bad, but it’s all about staying within limits and recognizing when it’s time to step back.

Gambling is not a financial havoc but the way we do it will determine whether it will bring havoc on us or not, but when we gamble as expected without loosing priority, we are going to see it as a means of having fun, we cannot deny the fact that some gamblers couldn't control the way f how they live their lives not to talk of having a responsible gambling experience.

So it all depends from the way we have pictured gambling to be, how we see it and the way it has appeared to us from the beginning that made us have interest in it, some people will just only invite to themselves some of these havoc all because they couldn't adopt the way of gambling responsibly.

You should always do gambling based on its definition. In general definition which I also believe, " gambling is an entertainment", so if we are still getting that definition, it only means one thing, we are enjoying what we are doing.The risk of getting addicted like would destroy your finances is not cause by gambling so we can't blame gambling on that. You know what the reason is? It's us being indiscipline and our inability to control our emotion that lead to financial problem.

I know that because I have been in that situation before, but I was brave enough to not blame gambling, instead I blame myself and I was able to correct my mistake. I know I can't go back to the past, I just learn from it and now I'm already enjoying gambling like it's not even risky anymore for me.

To draw a line between fun and addiction in gambling, you need not to always make out time to and focus on other ways of having fun different from getting involved in gambling activities it will make you not to be too devoted to gambling and you won't get addicted easily.

For sure gambling education or creating an awareness of the need to gamble responsibly will go a long way in helping gamblers to stay away from gambling and not see it as an income generating platform so that they won't be spending most of their time at gambling halls and offices.

this comes how we deal with it and this is what the importance of our knowledge before even entering gambling  and yeah this defy if we
are into become addicted or we are to be a good gambler.


It is very important ,  that we must be educated before entering gambling and so you will need to learn and understand the whole
gambling matter.

Self-control and being responsible for every decision, I think every gambler will learn in the hard way and that is when they lose money. At first, I’m into money and aggressively playing without thinking and the control, but sooner or later you’ll realize that you are not improving and the situation is getting worst because of your losses and I believe this is the start where you will think about self-control.

I guess the keyword here is control. Surely, you can estimate whether your gambling hobby is still under your control or it is already the one controlling you. It's probably easy to measure as well. If you want to stop and you can stop, then you are still in control of it. But if you want to stop but can hardly do it even if you're already losing much more than what you were ready to lose, then perhaps it is already beyond your control. There are so many other signs. But this one is very basic. If you can't anymore say no to gambling, then it's about time to seriously ponder on it. It will turn worse if left unattended.

First, let me quickly chip in the fact that this is an interesting dicuss, though it's something we have possibly discussed here before, but I like the whole new level and perspective this one is coming from.


Well, you are mistaken here, fun having is a choice in gambling, people can choose to just gamble for the sake of having fun.
So, it is impossible to draw a line between having fun and getting addicted to gambling, because getting addicted to gambling is not a choice, but a result of an action.
Now, to better understand what I mean, a person can choose to have through gambling, but no body ever chooses to become addicted to gambling, getting addicted to gambling is something that happens due to, or as a result of some decisions and actions the gambler takes and execute.

So, to help you phrase this, it would have been more appropriate to say, how can one draw the line between gambling for the sole purpose of having fun, and gambling for the sole purpose of making profit.

Education brings about knowledge, and knowledge they say is power,
Yes, education on how gambling can save alot of people from getting too engaged to gambling, and even when gambling for fun.
Gambling for fun simply means that, you are gambling just to have fun, which means you do not take winnings too seriously, this can save from from addiction to gambling, and actually can make gambling experiences more fun and exciting.

I think one of my earliest signs that could have got me trapped in gambling addiction and losses from a time I no longer recall accurately was the fact that, I approached gambling then with a mindset of making profit off it. I mean, I had heard the stories, success stories from few forks and decided to dip my hands in the purse and when I was met with few losses, i began chasing my losses and the. More losses until I realized, it’s not a game where I can win.

This called for a more different approach and you must be strong willed to persist in this industry. To this day I still gamble and I don’t see it for any thing bad or some place to be wreaked but, your will power and approach to the industry it what makes the difference. You don’t go about crossing lines that shouldn’t be crossed or play with the intention of winning over the house, that’s one means to lose.

Approach it with a free spirit and gamble with concrete awareness of your finance so you stick to plan.

I think everyone of us in this industry have got feelings. I’ll always say, when you feel the slight discomfort about what you’re doing, there you draw your limit and call it a day. Let’s your feelings or emotions about the activity tell you it’s time and you do good to follow it.
