Yeah, it is important to have a good understanding of what you're putting your money into.

Many people don't really think twice about gambling, and they just to it because "everyone else is doing it", when in really it's not everyone.

Sometimes an experience to lose in gambling can make someone realized that it's not an activity to earn money easily. Because as we know many gamblers are engaging themselves in gambling because of the thought of gaining when they play.

Thus it's crucial to know what you are getting into before deciding to use your money just to play. Always expect the worse case that can possibly happen so that you're not going to be hopeful to win.

That's why gambling is said to be full of risk, where the chance of winning is relatively small. Almost all gamblers admit that they experience losses more often than wins, even if we regulate gambling principles well, but this is not to increase the chances of winning, but to reduce the risk of bigger losses.

Even if we gamble regularly, luck will not necessarily be on our side and come our way all the time. The purpose of gambling is to have fun, forget about making a profit in gambling, and forget about the money you have lost. If you feel that you are no longer getting what you want in gambling, then that is a sign that it is time to leave gambling.

On the other hand, gambling advice always revolves around limits, such as controlling our attitude, the amount of money we can spend, and the amount of time we want to spend at the casino. Also about when to stop and when is the right time to start gambling again, as well as how to prevent us from becoming too addicted to gambling.

I agree with @nullama because we are more likely to lose if we gamble longer. Many people think that playing gambling longer can allow them to win. They don't realize they don't know when they can win but can lose more.

They should be able to anticipate more losses by limiting their gambling activities. When gambling, they should not have to gamble for long. Moreover, gambling is just entertainment that doesn't need to be taken seriously. If they have experienced loss, there will be a desire to recover their losses, making them eager to continue gambling and in the end, they will lose more money.

Yeah, but the math in this case shows that the longer you play, the more money you will lose. That's the most probable outcome.

You might think that in the long term you might win, and yeah, that might happen, but in most cases you will just lose more money.

Anyone who is involved in gambling definitely has the idea that they have to win to be able to buy what they need. The problem of risk is that they think about it later and they are slow to understand the risk of loss, but if that all happens and they lose the bet, they will only realize it and may regret it because They have played gambling which has caused them even more trouble. Their initial hope was to win big but then they had to experience disappointment because they lost their gambling.

But there are also people who are emotional when they experience defeat, usually they like to use their adrenaline by continuing to bet to recover their losses but instead they have to experience defeat again and again. This kind of thinking can be said to be stupid. They are willing to lose a lot of money just because they are too pursuing their ambitions. The win is not certain, it is very clear that gambling cannot be used as a source of profit, sometimes we just have fun without having to expect more from gambling and if we feel satisfied we can stop.

I have a profitable friend who told me that when you are in a loss, don't look at that as a money taken from you. Instead think of it like a loan you give to the casino. There's no need for you to take it back right away. As much as possible take your time, it may have a interest later on. This shift my perspective a lot. In gambling there's no need to rush and take your money that you've loss. Casino will always be there. So it's not aonly discipline or self control. It's also more of perspective and beliefs around one's behavior.

Therefore however it is always advisable to have the right understanding and approach to gambling because only in this way can we avoid the possibility of addiction in the long run, as you said and I think we all know about the bad impact that results when someone falls into the addiction phase which is a situation that will make you lose most of your valuable possessions as well as that can destroy your life in various aspects such as financial or relationships with family.

When someone has entered the addiction phase then yes it is clear that they will prioritize their gambling activities because their focus is only on gambling and this makes them ignore some important aspects of their life, even though they basically always experience the problem of losing money even in large amounts but that can not always make their minds realize that what they are doing is wrong, the reason is because someone is already addicted to having excessive beliefs and interests in gambling so that they continue to prioritize their desires even though rationally it is a very wrong mindset and belief.

Gambling is a very common thing but it is very bad for the one who becomes addicted to it. Because if someone gets addicted to gambling then surely he cannot live without gambling. Because people always prioritize the things that they focus on the most. There is hardly any record of anyone winning or doing anything good from gambling. Yet people are losing a lot by gambling. one of the reasons for this is greed  People are losing again and again to their greed and getting addicted to gambling

Overconfidence that the win would arrive isn't a good thought for a gambler. He will be disappointed along the line, and he'd want to fill up his expectations at all costs. Gamblers develop a lot of emotional challenges while gambling. But it's not something to be worried about, because this thread already stresses ways to go about this for the inexperienced. Gambling with all we've got is risky and could get a player into anxiety. It's fine not to gamble at all. The stress, it'll cause the player if he loses out his money. Being humble as a gambler in matters relating to our finances, health, and strategies is worth it, because of the safety earned through respecting our methods.

Learning the hard way in gambling is mainly for almost every gambler who isn't informed about the risk of playing recklessly. It's embarrassing to find such players on this journey for the first time, looking to win a huge amount on the same day. This shows how irresponsibly prepared the player is, or he's been told about gambling. The whole game only gets interesting when the player is aware of the risks of gambling recklessly, the importance of having a good strategy, and money and time management. Although it's hard to learn and practice, a glimpse of the knowledge changes the gambler's journey of not getting addicted.

I would say that an addict lives by playing, for him there is nothing more important than this. For him, the priority of gambling comes first above even human relationships, because we have heard more than once how a husband could steal money from his wife or his mother, which deals them a very big moral blow. I remember myself when I just started playing and the game absorbed me so much that I did not fall asleep and woke up thinking about the game. I will not forget this state, it is terrible, as if life is wasted. To live a full life, you still need to maintain a balance in everything so that you can live a full life, and not a game. Your head shouldn't be filled with this all the time. If we are at a friend’s birthday party, then we should have fun there, and not think about how to quickly lock ourselves in the toilet to play a poker tournament from a mobile phone there.

While gambling our brain always dreams of winning something big from gambling and does not think about loss.  And when there is a loss, they immediately decide to bet a higher amount for quick recovery. This is called panic. When someone gets into gambling, they cannot control themselves and gradually become addicted to gambling. Gambling addicts suffer from gambling. 
can't let go  But those who use gambling as fun can control themselves and quit gambling whenever they want

Apply solid strategies for profitable run in the system. Humble in gambling brings good results but when one becomes proud and having too many confident spots surrounding him, he tends to be the victim of huge losses and this will actually drained him and distracts him from the main chapters. Gambling is nobody's thing but most gamblers have to learn the hard way before they actually succeed.

What happens is that addiction causes this type of behavior, when a person suffers from this it is normal that they always do something like this, in fact a person who is addicted to addiction plays when he eats, even when he bathes, an addicted person must start to become aware and see things from another point of view, because basically when they are in a casino they can go crazy betting, what they have and what they don't have, they lend money, they get credits just to put them in the casino and play, so That is something that should never be considered, not even when eating. In fact, one of the recommendations for our health when eating is that we should eat calmly, and rest for at least 40-60 minutes so that digestion can take place. do as is, So that some stomach disorders do not occur, then, given this, we must always consider doing what is right for our own health.

I understand addiction. The best people out there grapple with it. Smart folks, really terrific folks, sometimes find themselves in tough situations. This hunger thing - its not about food, not really. Its that quick fix, that gamble, the rush that hooks you. Its clever, this addiction thing, but its not smart. It clouds your judgment, makes you play a loser's game.

Blaming someone in this situation? Well, thats not productive. Now, am I the most empathetic guy in the world? Maybe not always, but I see whats happening here. We need action, a change in approach. Forget about just getting by meal-to-meal; lets build a better future. There's help out there - amazing people, tremendous resources to get back on track. This is about health, stability, the long game. Big picture thinking, thats how we win.

What if someone stops gambling, goes to a cafe, orders some food, and starts gambling while eating the food?  That's exactly what an addicted gambler would do, and some would even think that they would make some more money for food when they are hungry if they are gambling regardless of the fact that they can lose as well and if they lose everything, they might not even have enough money to get food which should stop them in actual sense.

Though what you said is right and a responsible gambler might do that, however, an addicted gambler wouldn't be able to do that, and the reason why one shouldn't gamble when they are hungry or anything is because it will not let you focus on your gambling and if you are playing a skill-based game, you will most likely lose due to this.

I had a friend, he had his own business, everything was going like clockwork. But one day he was cheated out of a large sum, and he lost everything he had earned.
And what do you think?
For some reason, he decided that the way to get his luck back was through the casino. I didn't understand his logic, but he argued that fate should give him everything back. As a result, he became a real gambler, losing more and more money every month. But fortunately, at some point he was able to stop. It's strange how people can be so easily captured by excitement and the hope of easy money.

Yes, if someone is addicted then that is a bad thing, even if he doesn't do it for one day, he will feel that something is missing that day, just like someone who is addicted to gambling, if he doesn't drink it. When he gambles one day, he will feel anxious and uncertain because he missed an activity that he thinks is very enjoyable.
And what you say is true, if someone has a habit like that, it is very difficult to get rid of it because all that is in his brain is pleasure and it will cause harm.

I agree that drinking alcohol will make you making higher bets, and that's not good in general. But I disagree regarding not playing when you are hungry. In my opinion feeling of hunger can play a positive role: at one point you decide that you need to eat something and you stop playing and go to a cafe. Then you are sitting there and eating your food and thinking "That's enough of gambling for me for today. I think I'll do something else." And that's a good thinking when you have gambled for an hour or more already.

This problem is experienced by most of those who are addicted, and their goal is only to chase losses in the hope of selling their property to gamble with the ambition that in this way they can recover their losses.
It was a stupidity that was difficult to control and only suffering could bring him to his senses, but it had already happened and it was too late. And in my area there are also many addicts who experience this, apart from losing everything and there are also those who end up in divorce because they are not given a living and instead sell their assets to gamble.
Addiction like this is very dangerous because apart from harming yourself, it can also harm the people closest to you.
