Topic: When you are not to gamble. - page 15. (Read 6769 times)

I'm guilty of this, but I'm happy I learn it on time. When I need money or when the money I have available at the time is not up to what I need it for, I tend to gamble in hopes of winning more. Most of the time, it ends badly for me.
What helped me stop doing that was how I realised that I lose bets more when I need the money. I knew there was a reason for this because there was no way the "gambling gods" would decide to punish me when I needed money.

So I looked into it and I figured out that I win bets more when I don't need the money urgently because I play with a free mind. I don't really care if I lose the money so I don't overanalyse, but when I need money, I'm scared of losing the little I have so I take more time to analyse thereby getting it wrong because I'm overthinking it.
Sometimes I'm still tempted to gamble with the little money I have in hopes of getting more immediately, but I always regret it and I'm getting better at it.

👉👉when you are in need of money urgently
Some people gamble the most when they are in need of urgent money. They use the little in their account to gamble believe they can double the money in no time through gambling to do what they want to do. This most times go wrong making them to lose the little they should have saved for that purpose

But, is it possible that there is a distinguishing factor about betting about betting using a small amount of money compared to a lot of money. Perhaps, the difference will provide evidence whether the gambler or bettor is betting to make money or just for fun. Because I think,  when they bet with big money then maybe they are gamblers expecting big profits too. But, if they only bet with a small  amount of money, then maybe they are just betting for fun. Indeed, it is not a complete guarantee,  but usually those who bet with a small amount of money and then lose, then they also do not experience pressure or stress. But,  for those who bet with a lot of money and then lose, then maybe they will experience very heavy pressure and stress.

You have analyzed the reason for gambling well but I can say that very few people bet on gambling for fun. Most people place bets on gambling as a source of earning money. My friend earns wages all day and gambles with that money at night. Most of the time he wins and his money goes up. It turns out that I need a lot of money now and to raise that money I can gamble with uncertain bets. But you should take a break after repeated losses because gambling does not always give you the best of luck.

Gambling is not a reliable solution for meeting urgent financial needs. Instead, individuals are better off using alternative methods such as proper budgeting and seeking financial help from family or friends. Gambling is a good form of entertainment. I think this is the most important point about gambling. But someone who uses it more as a means of making money than for entertainment will not get favorable results. Anyone who doesn't use a tool for its intended purpose will get negative results. An off-road vehicle is difficult to drive in city traffic. It would be difficult to use a classic vehicle in off-road conditions. Someone who gambles to meet urgent needs will never be able to meet their urgent needs. But someone who gambles for fun will certainly have a good time.

Absolutely right. But I would advise to look for other hobbies, or if someone have skills for something outside of gambling, then take up this case. Gambling is not the best hobby.
After all, for example, drawing or watching movies cannot cause severe addiction. I think the author has listed the right reasons for someone becoming addicted to gambling. But the reasons for gambling becoming a problem do not end at the above points.
In general, it is better to try to develop your skills given by nature and try to succeed in them. And anyone can always go back to gambling, it don't disappear anywhere.

I would like to make a distinction between sadness and depression. There could be people out there who may feel sad because any reason and still choose to gamble, however, someone depressed should down the path of gambling or drinking (or even both at the same time).
Because someone in a state of depression would not care about the losses and they could even feel tempted to take those losses as an excuse to further devolve in their depression.
Sadness can pass quite easily and be manageable in the short term, though when we talk about depression and gambling, it is a completely new level of recklessness.

I agree with you, because emotions in extreme states definitely affect our game, be it excessive joy or excessive anger. Starting the game in a neutral state is a good idea, but the player must understand that the casino will try to take him out of this state with each new bet. And even if the player remains calm on the 10th bet and continues to play, this will happen on the 20th or another later bet. Our emotions are being shaken, and there are only very few players who can resist this, I think they are called professionals, because nothing affects them and they are concentrated on the result of the game and are completely immersed in it. It's no secret that even professionals can eventually become frustrated if they fall into a losing streak that's too long and no one can handle it.

CONCLUSION
Gambling should be fun, it's better to stay away when it has started to become a problem.

This is true, but I noticed that the promoters of casinos and betting platforms understand this very well too. They try to make sure that the gambler, when trying to forget about the casino, constantly remembers it anyway. See what an example I have from my life that happened yesterday: I was watching memes in an entertainment app, and there was a mobile advertisement for a certain casino. I turned on YouTube, but there was an advertisement for this casino in one of the broadcasts.
Then I went outside, and there was a car with an advertisement for the same casino.

In general, the platforms responsible for gambling are trying very hard to remind themselves from everywhere.

Points mentioned in OP are very true and I would like to add that people shouldn't gamble when they are sad or angry.
Sometimes people become sad or angry and keep betting without any control over themselves.
Besides that, I believe people should only gamble when they are in a good mood thus having more consciousness on gambling.

The most basic thing when gambling is self-control not to get too far into the game, this is a simple thing but it will be difficult for a gambler to do when at the table, too engrossed in gambling itself will break the rhythm of the game, there are times when we have to stop for a moment and calm our minds so as not to get emotional in the game, professional gamblers will bet at the right time according to their feelings. And based on their gambling experience, each professional gambler has their own strategies and ways to minimize losses when betting, although luck is the basis of the gamblers' victory, this is what some stupid gamblers should do to avoid bad things that will happen to them in the future.
In general, casinos target such people who are easily tempted by big prizes and people who have difficulty controlling their emotions, so these people are addicted to gambling and casinos benefit from it.

It is too late for gamblers to reduce gambling activities when they have gone too far into the game, and have damaged their finances, this will affect their minds and look for ways to restore their capital by gambling again. Reducing gambling activities should be done at the beginning of the game when gamblers start gambling activities, we must first know what are the negative and positive effects of gambling when we start doing it, in order to avoid the disease of addiction too deep should be as early as possible know this,

You can add these two:

When you win little, do not gamble on that day again. But some gamblers will feel like they should continue to gamble and they will lose at the end of the day.

When you are addicted. Quit gambling for a long time.
