Have you ever had an experience betting in which you knew that you were going over the limits of you finances and still continued? I have one playing a game, it was absorbing plenty of my time and despite me knowing it, I was kind of hooked on it. It was not a financial problem, but left me wondering how easy is to actually fall into a bad habit and how difficult is to break it.
It can be said that at once a time i was very addicted to gambling. And at that time my betting style was reckless. Where I lost a lot money. I have crossed my financial limitation and got upset there too. But gradually when I realized my mistakes I was able to bring them under control. Although it took me quite a while to understand it. Today I can say that I am a gambler but not an addicted gambler.
This is not surprising as most of the gamblers have developed gambling addiction and lose a lot but some have managed to make it right and now they are already disciplined gamblers who have manage to limit their finances when it comes to gambling. Even myself is not an exception. I used to gamble a lot and sometimes end up losing all my penny. But when I start building my own family, I realized that gambling addiction will always make me put in losses throughout gambling.
and good that found your priority , these is not easy mate because indeed that gambling is addicting and many have not managed to win against them so better to stay focus in your family and children than thinking about gambling for now , we can always gamble once we have enough funds to spare and lose but for now? our priority will be our family and this is what must we do.
It is very true, when we are in the middle of gambling, there are many things that influence our thoughts, especially when we are in physical casinos, music, alcoholic beverages, the fun of seeing pretty girls, all that is very rewarding, so In general, people always look for a way to forget about simple things, money at that time is seen by them as something secondary, what matters is adrenaline, and that 'happens in an online casino, sometimes the reason is not present but emcoines it, then when we play and for example we are using the martingale technique it goes very high and that is the dangerous thing, because if everything is lost the fun ends.

In my case I do not blame newbies when they make the mistake of thinking they can actually become profitable when they gamble, my problem is that some of those newbies never really learn their lesson, they lose all of their capital and instead of thinking that this is a trend that is going to continue they believe that this was an exception, so the next time they gather some money they gamble once again with the intention of becoming profitable, then at some point they realize all the money they have lost and then they keep gambling hoping to recover it, and by that point there is a very high chance that they are already addicted to gambling.
The entire gambling industry creates games, machines, systems, etc, that create an illusion that the gambler might win big next time, and try to be as addictive as possible.
On the other side you have the cold, boring math that tells the gambler that it will lose all the money in the long term. There's also no money in pushing this side, so the message rarely gets to the gambler, other than "Gamble Responsibly" or similar.
It's hard for some people to just rationalize this, and act accordingly. Many people will just follow the fantasy because it's designed to be more attractive than reality, which is quite boring in comparison.
In general, in some ways, gambling turns out to be similar to an ordinary drug, after trying which it is already very difficult to return to a “normal” life, especially if you are lucky at first.
It seems to me that the chance to "get addicted" to gambling is much less if you lose at first.
Well, sometimes that is the case, because each person takes a loss in various ways, if it is a person who does not care much, well yes, it may not matter to him and he will not play again, but if he is a person who temperament is quite proud and that he does not like to lose in any aspect, that same ego that he has makes him go in the wrong direction, because he does not accept that a system takes his money and that he cannot beat it, so sometimes the fact of losing At first, people can be encouraged by this vice of gambling addiction, that is why it is so difficult to determine human behavior, even so a couple who has been married for more than 50 years, when you ask them if they know each other each other, both say that they still need to meet.
It should be noted that only once did I lose control of what I was betting and even though it was in a figure that did not allow me to lose, I still bet it, but many thoughts went through my mind about how I was going to recover that money, finally the last shot made me win, and I didn't recover all of it, but I did recover a lot of it, and although I came out with a loss, it wasn't as much as I was going to lose, and that fact made me comfort myself, and at the same time it helped me decide that I was never going to play that way again.
