But on the other hand they don't know that there are downturns or unexpected things that are waiting for them ahead, but yes on the other hand I'm sure it doesn't mean they don't fully know about the bad effects that will befall them, surely they have also heard of some people who have experienced problems as a result of gambling, but the problem is that they are too ambitious and have high hopes for victory so that they seem to think that the bad effects that will befall them like nothing or they don't think too much about it. Yes, maybe at that moment the other person was really lucky, and as I said before, I'm sure that person must have sacrificed many defeats just to get that one victory. Not applying self-control does not mean we can't win, it doesn't matter if you don't want to apply self-control but as long as you are ready for all the risks you will receive including the number of unexpected defeats. That is the importance of self-control because with it, you will not suffer too much defeat. Yes, it should be like that if they have gotten pleasure or even victory then they should stop, because it is also for their safety, but yes it is not easy my friend, the temptation there is very large.
Being too ambitious and having high hopes of winning will make them forget that the purpose of gambling is not to win but just to gamble and have fun. But if they can win, that is a bonus for them. If they can control themselves well, they will know that it is just a test for them whether they can stop themselves from gambling after winning or whether they will just continue gambling because they want to obtain or pursue other wins. This is where they really have to realize that they have to stop immediately before their greed gets too big and tell them to continue gambling in pursuit of other wins. They are lucky if they can still control themselves because they can stop after winning and rest to reduce their tension and also celebrate their win. But those who cannot control themselves or lose self-control will try to get other wins so that their winnings will also be used for gambling until finally they actually spend all their money, including their winnings.
Yes that's right, basically there are still quite a lot of other activities that are also fun but not risky, they can go to tourist attractions with family or friends or do other activities that are quite fun but positive or like gardening behind the house. Honestly for myself if I am in a boring condition then I prefer to watch movies or play games, not that I don't want to gamble but in that condition I maximize to resist the temptation and curiosity that is in my mind, I am already quite bored when I see the final results that are always disappointing, therefore the first step when I am bored I immediately open one of the games on my cellphone or watch fil, with that then I will forget about gambling. I think one of the reasons why they don't seem to care too much about losing is because their expectations are too high to get a win when in fact in every session the results are always disappointing, but yes basically it is difficult to be able to give advice like that to them, and maybe we can just let it go, I'm sure over time they will definitely be able to realize their mistakes, especially when they have experienced the bitterest thing in their gambling, so maybe it's just a matter of time that will answer it.
Doing other things or activities that are not related to gambling can be done to divert attention from gambling. And doing other activities doesn't really require money. At least they can choose what activities they can do so they can really reduce their gambling activities. If I were in a condition like that, maybe I would go fishing with my friends or alone to calm my mind while enjoying the natural scenery, which could help me refresh my mind. And all this time, it has really helped me to be able to refresh my mind well and divert my attention from gambling. They should be able to realize how much they have lost and will not try to use other money to try to recover their losses. That will only increase the number of losses even more, even though they can't get the big win. Maybe they need to lose very big and spend all their money until they finally realize that what they did was wrong and can have the desire to improve what they have done.
