Topic: Who are the most vulnerable - page 5. (Read 1602 times)
I think, anyone will be very vulnerable to becoming a gambling addict, no matter their age because when they can gamble comfortably at the beginning then it will make them continue to gamble. Although indeed, those who are not comfortable gambling at the beginning can still fall into becoming gambling addicts, but if they have a high curiosity. If they do not have a high curiosity, then of course they will be easier to leave gambling. Basically gambling is a very interesting game and even, those who start only playing gambling with a demo account can also make it for deposits in the hope of getting easy wins like when they gamble using a demo account. Thus, anyone who tries to gamble then I think they will be vulnerable to becoming gambling addicts.
who are the most vulnerable to falling into a gambling addiction?
I guess it's safe to say that the most vulnerable to gambling addiction are those people who doesn't want to work hard to get rich. These kind of people wants to get rich faster without getting into a lot of works and sacrifices, as they typically just want to gamble primarily and solely for easy money. A person who gambles for fun, doesn't really matter if he wins or he losses, because losing is part of the system and winning is just an extra reward while having fun. The people who gamble for money will always end up chasing their losses and always wishing for a jackpot.
I am sharing this to raise awareness so more people are aware whether they fall under these categories I mentioned and may have high chances of becoming a gambling addict. Let’s keep ourselves informed and in check. Not only ourselves but our loved ones as well.
Thanks for these statistics, I didn't know that people who had any addictions before were so strongly committed to becoming potentially problematic gamblers. Apparently, those experts who claim that all addictions have one basis are right - to escape from reality and not to deal with responsibilities, to wait out the pain of losses or big failures. Nevertheless, I think that with infrequent sessions, gambling is even useful, because it is an excellent stress reliever. And I know many gamblers and betting enthusiasts on our forum who are very good at keeping themselves in hand.

This is different with the rich, even they're addicted to gambling, they're high unlikely to go broke, making them hard to be exposed.
That's why we often see stories from poor people than the rich.
Good observation.That's why we often see stories from poor people than the rich.
When the rich gambles, it is not an issue or a concern because it hardly affects them (unless they go bankrupt). Most of the time, they are even praised or adored for having a hobby like that. People look up at them because they seem to be able to do whatever they want which is true but this doesn’t mean that it is wise. If not controlled, anyone rich will soon be in debt because of gambling. But how much rich people end up in that situation? Not as much as the poor.
The rich may lose much more money, but for them it may be insignificant compared to those players who count every penny and the loss for such players will be more painful than for the rich who lost only a small part of the money from his wallet. But in this case, it might be worthwhile for the poor to avoid gambling if it can have such an impact on his money. In this case, it is worth comparing what part of their money the poor and rich players are risking, this is the only way to understand what they are risking and how much a loss can affect their well-being.

who are the most vulnerable to falling into a gambling addiction?
Of course those who are vulnerable and easily influenced in online gambling are those who have high hallucinations, most of them are lazy to work, have high desires, especially in financial matters, They think that with $10 they can make $1 million, even though that will never happen until the end of the world.Life is easy if you make it easy and life is difficult if you make it difficult, that's the point, the online gambling industry is currently booming and easy to access, plus everyone has an Android cellphone, including children and adults, That's the basic problem, plus Google just writes whatever will come out, for that reason if I think about it there is no solution and way to prevent those who gamble, unless the Android cellphone is removed, with the existence of online gambling almost everyone is susceptible to gambling.

Another demographic that is more likely to get addicted to gambling are adolescents. Adolescents are aged 12-18. The rise of online casinos made way to more kids getting access into gambling. It is said that male adolescents are the ones most recorded to have ended up addicted in gambling. Their addiction is usually associated with sports and mobile games betting.
Teenagers are being introduced to gambling through social media these days. Most casinos have started creating dummy Facebook pages and promoting their business by boosting fake big wins. I see such ads on Facebook every other day. Because people of this age play games on smartphones, they see gambling ads on their games as well. I have been trying Android games lately, which show some ads, and I figured out that most of them are gambling ads. It is very difficult not to be tempted by seeing such big wins and never to give it a try. hero member

When it comes down to addiction and what kind of gamblers are most likely to be addicts,I think the point to look at it from would be, the motive why some people gamble.
Those who gamble for fun are most likely not going to be addicts, hell no. They’ve got a good but not a far more important or dire reason to gamble. It’s more like, buying some fun with money and that’s it. If they can’t do that, then they’ll keep their cool eventually.
When it comes down to those who gamble because they need it, those who gamble to survive, it gets real. Given that gambling is highly based on luck and you seeking out that luck in the form of a breakthrough in your finances from gambling, you would find yourself gambling often than necessary and that’s how addiction builds.
It's true what you said with like buying something fun with the money you have, besides I think those who gamble for fun do not prioritize winning, meaning they are not too obsessed with pursuing victory or wanting to get victory because they do it just for fun or entertainment but people like this in my opinion are rarely found, because surely there are many people who want victory or in other words prioritize victory in every gamble they do.Those who gamble for fun are most likely not going to be addicts, hell no.

It's very wrong when we gamble to meet our own needs, besides I often find someone who is indeed in urgent conditions with a need for quite a large amount of funds for something and they only have a small amount of money so that it is not enough to overcome the things that must be resolved, at a point like this there are people who take the path of gambling of course in the hope of getting victory, but thinking like this will only make it difficult for them in the future.
especially for those whose orientation is to get a win, not making them happy, most of them because of their ego make them even more miserable with their defeat. and worse, when they experience defeat, they don't want to accept it and return to playing with passion and hope that at least their lost money will be returned.

We can’t stop the addiction of others, but yes, if it’s about ourselves, then we need to always try hard to find the solution. I don’t think there are any specific categories who are vulnerable to the world of gambling. I only know that two types of people gamble. One is the rich person, and another is the poor person. A poor person stops gambling when all of his money is gone. But a rich guy gambles to satisfy his ego and hence gets an addiction. Controlling the funds provided for gambling can really help these rich brats to stop gambling.
If the question is who is most vulnerable to get caught up in gambling addiction then I would probably say that they are people who misunderstand what and how gambling really is regardless of their age and also regardless of their financial situation in life, so young or old it will always be possible to end up addicted and also no matter even if you are one of the rich people if you misunderstand what gambling is then in the end it is very possible for you to end up addicted.
Gambling addiction always occurs because of obsession and high expectations of winning, meaning that when from the start you only see gambling from the side of the chance of winning and do not know that gambling is not a place to earn or a place to solve financial problems then addiction is a possibility that you will definitely experience consciously or not.

As each gambler have their own life's battles, you will see different degree of how they will go deep in gambling. It also depends on their situation why they are being exposed to this addictive activity and what are their goals why they are exploring this. And if that person has a lot of idle time, more than likely, he will be subjected to this activity in a lot more ways than people who are busy earning income from other activities.

You did well pointing out some of these known categories that is vulnerable for bettors to fall of gambling addicts.
So even if we don't fall in any of the categories, the awareness is enough to remind us that addiction is real and it is absolutely a habit that is gradually developed unknowingly.
Thank you, mate. It is some of the things I reflected back upon before gambling. I tried to check if I fell into these categories and vowed to stay a bit more careful. Awareness is always a good prevention.So even if we don't fall in any of the categories, the awareness is enough to remind us that addiction is real and it is absolutely a habit that is gradually developed unknowingly.

My own speculations on this is that... No bettor should believe that he/she is not on the category of gambling addiction else, you would become one before your notice. It is a serious task for all bettors so that we don't become such victim as we can easily be carried away due to funs or chasing profits.
I do think that one of the first signs of being addicted is in denial. Some will justify their gambling addiction by saying it’s their last or they’re just chasing losses but in reality they already are addicted.Similarly the first sign of recovery is admitting that they are indeed addicted.
I am sharing this to raise awareness so more people are aware whether they fall under these categories I mentioned and may have high chances of becoming a gambling addict. Let’s keep ourselves informed and in check. Not only ourselves but our loved ones as well.

So therefore, all bettors are vulnerable to become gambling addict. It only takes courage and carefulness to stay away from it.

It's true that the most addicted people initially had pre-existing mental conditions, if not their common sense should tell them that they cannot win back their losses as they keep on gambling to recover them back. It's a norm that a hard drug addict will gamble, because he will always love to gamble for profit in order to buy more drugs.
Teens are copy cats, they do whatever they see on tv or on social media without knowing the consequences attached to it. Some of them might want to do it for fun, but along the line, they become addicted they don't have anyone to help them.

Gambling addiction is actually a mental disorder especially when it gets to the level of dependency, some gamblers feel incomplete if they haven't gambled in 24 hours, even when they are broke they find all means to get money to gamble so as to satisfy their urge. When they don't care about the consequences of their actions and also don't care if they win or lose then it has become a serious issue that might require them to be in a rehabilitation center. Teens are vulnerable to this, just like you said they copy whatever they see on social media without knowing the implications and consequences of it.
What did you say? "gambling addict", and I hope you know the meaning of "addict" right?
Well, the truth if the matter is that, if we are talking about those who are already addicted to gambling, it's important for us to know what with their experiences in gambling, they or most of them already know that gambling is not the way for them, or an escape rout from poverty, but the major problem for them is that, they have become addicted to gambling and even if they are not getting any value for the money they spending on the activity and wants to stop, they discover they can't stop because, gambling is something their brain have gotten so used and attached to.
This is why is always advised that gamblers should try as much as possible to gambling in moderation, put limits that will ensure that addiction to the game does not come close, for addiction is a very bad sickn3ss.
Simply we can say we're not in their shoes, we don't really know the why they think and how they always fall to gambling. Not to mention we have different background and responsibilities, a sandwich generation is suffering and always thinking how to make money in his life.Well, the truth if the matter is that, if we are talking about those who are already addicted to gambling, it's important for us to know what with their experiences in gambling, they or most of them already know that gambling is not the way for them, or an escape rout from poverty, but the major problem for them is that, they have become addicted to gambling and even if they are not getting any value for the money they spending on the activity and wants to stop, they discover they can't stop because, gambling is something their brain have gotten so used and attached to.

We're not even graduated or mastering psychology, so we don't really know the behind reason why they can do that and the solution to recover from addiction.

The people that are more vulnerable to being addicted to gambling are poor and middle class people and I assume we know the reason why it's so. In the world's population, majority of people are poor and suffering and out of those poor individuals, there's a large population who are into gambling and their reason is to see a financial breakthrough, that's why they get addicted because they believe that gambling can easily earn them a quick cash, which is why they are vulnerable. Although I don't have any data to back of my claim but I know that the number of rich people in the world who are gamblers are not much compare to non rich gamblers.
It is a well known fact that most poor people are way to much vulnerable to gambling addiction and I don't blame them from a certain point of view, the society, the government has not done quite a lot for them that they have reside to this venture called gambling and we all know how dangerous that is. Even middle class can fall into this although lower in number than poor people these can fall in even deeper addiction as these type of persons are trying to come out from the middle class sector and are fighting to become rich in a fast way and this is in my opinion the most vulnerable group of all when they hit the lows of gambling addiction. In rich people I have seen addiction in very very few people to not say that I have not seen it anywhere where I live or under my friends and colleagues.
I understand but no matter what, gambling is not usually the way out because it could still contribute to one becoming more worse. If any gambling addict have a rethink and focus that energy into something better, they could even do better than just taking gambling as the only way out of poverty.
