It is a good conclusion and learning, hopefully when we start in the world of betting they tell us that kind of thing, because the truth is that one learns that depending on the amount of experience, the successes and failures of the game, ambitions, greed. , some fall into addiction, so this is where we as people have to test ourselves, so the conclusion you give is very good, I hope that many newbies can read your statement and can learn from it, although there are many people who are He tells them that things are not learned and that is something that after a while they say and affirm that it is the truth.

The most important thing for me is to be able to prevent players from falling into addiction, because when we played for the first time some of us learned the hard way, there was no one to tell us what to do, what not to do and why, no, at least I learned a lot from my failures, sometimes I did very well, but then I lost everything, and of course you feel bad, because you see it as a failure and sometimes you don't want to play again or something, just what you know What you can do is think about the money you lost, then after those periods of failure you learn not to gamble without control, do it more moderately.

In a casino and in sports betting we must control ourselves because things can get out of hand in a moment, if we start with 200 usd respectfully we can lose everything in 3 or 4 moves, so you have to know how to bet.

Leaving an addiction behind is not a decision that is taken from one day to another, it is a process and many things can go wrong if the addicted is not careful, this is why external support is so important because without it very few people get to overcome their demons, now many times those around them do not realize they are tempting them with their actions, and this is why they offer them to participate on the activities which got them addicted on the first place, however a person which has already a story of addiction must never accept those offers or soon enough they may find themselves addicted once again.

Leaving addiction alone is very hard that is why many gamblers fail from doing it. It really needs support from the people around us and the willingness to help in changing the direction of our life.
I have asked some of my friends who are in gambling addiction and they told me that they easily got tempted to gamble when the say people gamble as well. This gives me the idea that in order to stop addiction we must involve ourselves in something and stay away from gamblers.

While the inner strength needed to leave an addiction behind is key, at the same time it is not everything, a person can be really willing to leave their addiction behind but if the person around them do not have the same determination then this is going to be difficult, after all is very common that when a person is trying to leave their alcoholism behind their own friends or family members offer them drinks knowing very well their addiction story, and in the process they are making more difficult for those people to remain away from their former addiction.

You can find it via Privacy Anda Security in the Content section. Or you can download the add-on on Google to your laptop or cellphone. But I have not yet tried it as I still gamble now. But it is true what you said that there must be will to prevent someone from returning to gambling so that we can stop gambling. All the ways we can do this will depend on our seriousness to stop gambling and with the help of other people will also help us to be able to stop gambling.

Not giving them their smartphone might be a solution since they are not freely surfing the internet. Apart from that, they also have to create a new habit where they use more physical activity or think so that it will distract them from thinking about gambling. But everything is based on the person's awareness to recover from gambling because if not, it will not work for him.

Mind games are like skill-based games but even if what we are playing is a luck-based game, we still need to have a healthy mind in order to easily go out of the gambling place. Some things in life are not free but it's possible to play gambling even if we don't have a money. This isn't for all though because some people will feel bored if there is no real money involved.

If you play for profit, this is where regrets can come once we lose even if we know to our selves that we do have fun in the process. It is still possible to socialize in a online casino because some has a chatbox, private message feature and a forum but maybe some still prefer the classic offline casino vibe.

Yes you are right that mate and that's what I said above that every gamblers who get addicted to the gambling then they can make themselves out of that all they need is to have a good and strong minded which means the will help themselves in order to get out for being addicted and they can make that once they have a thing to do and get thier attention  or else by the help of Thier family they can recovered.

This will just matter on will power of the affected person to stop, since if he's really willing to help his or herself to erase out the gambling addiction on his system he should do all whatever it take just to avoid any gambling activities. If they decide to comeback while they are in recovery method then this mean that they are still not willing to make big changes in his life so I guess that person will came back to gamble even if he is been prohibited to do so.

I really do not think or see it feasible to take away their gadgets from them all in the name of doing away with gambling or rather if they can, they can go with a mobile phone with no internet access for sometime while still undergoing their therapy.  This can help too but i think most gamblers are mostly advanced in technology and so therefore can not do away with their smartphone to surfing the internet on daily basis. It only takes a disciplined person to do so and reaching such conclusion would only take a determined mind to accomplish.

This is something new for me deactivating gambling sites in the browser because usually gambling sites cannot be accessed because they are blocked by the Internet Service Provider as I experienced, so I have to use a VPN or Tor Browser. But deactivating gambling sites in our browser will not be so helpful in my opinion because we can easily reactivate it when we want to start gambling, so actually if someone wants to stop gambling activities completely then it must be of their own volition everything is done to prevent it from returning playing is futile when you don't have a strong will to stop gambling.

It requires awareness from gamblers to want to deactivate casino sites from their browsers so they can no longer access gambling sites. It can also be a way to avoid gambling sites while they are accessing their devices, phones or computers so that they will not be tempted to visit casino sites. And don't forget to make settings for advertisements that can appear on search engines or the homepage of social media so that no gambling sites appear. But even so, there must still be one or several casino sites that appear on their social media homepage so it requires more effort not to click on the ads. It would be better if gamblers were not given access to their cellphones or computers for a while so they could focus on doing other activities that could really take their minds off gambling.

One can simply not be able to chase their losses in gambling because there is a house edge that won't let you win in the long run, no matter how lucky you are, if you keep gambling, you are guaranteed to lose everything even the money that you might have won in that same gambling session. A wise gambler would never try to recover their losses but they will just continue gambling and move on instead of staking the remaining balance only for recovering the lost ones which mostly doesn't work.

Having enough control over your emotions is a very important thing in gambling because your mind will not let you go off the losses very easily but it will keep asking you again and again to try and recover your losses only to make you lose whatever is remaining of your bankroll so far.

Basically we have our own way of not becoming gambling addicts, especially gamblers who have had a lot of experience from it. in fact, a person may express gambling according to what he defines. but most importantly, they must realize that gambling is a risky form of entertainment. thus, we know very well that when we start betting, the money we bet has the potential to lose.

Referring to what you said, is an acceptable recommendation. in fact, it may even be useful to some members of our community. but I think most of us really know how to be good gamblers or you can say healthy gamblers. the problem is, what we say is sometimes not in accordance with practice and reality. although we know very well, the steps and ideas not to become a gambler addict. but sometimes, other factors can affect our emotions when carrying out gambling sessions. psychologically, such things are very natural for gamblers. however, overall what you say is something useful.

Possibly disabling such website from their browser could help a  bit because that would always resist them when ever they open their gadgets to open such site. Doing that would keep their consciousness of their desire to stop gambling and by doing that, they would gradually limit their frequenting of the gambling site coupled with the professional advice given to them. If a gambler is sincere to stopping, this could possibly help them stop gambling.

Chasing losses is a wrong way to go about gambling because I haven't seen any gambler that chase his losses and because successful gambling. You have to let go of your emotions when gambling, if you lose money then consider the money gone and move on with your life.

Gambling can give you profits and also losses, you can't win everytime you play so whenever you lose, just see it as a part of the game and move on. You can try again later but never stake money immediately trying to win back you losses or you'll lose more money and go broke.

Having a gambling limit is a good way to limit yourself and it'll help you quit gambling more easily because whenever you pass your limit, it means you have to stop gambling and if you can stick to this habit, quiting won't become a problem for you due to your discipline behavior.

I'm sure there's a way to disable casino sites on a browser but I doubt that an addicted gambler will stop by doing that. It is expected that the self control of an addict is on it's very low and there's a high chance that the gambler will just find a way to just unblock it or simply use other devices that can access a casino. I agree that a professional will help a gambler and of course a self commitment from the gambler to stop his gambling vices.

The question is, how the gambler is possible to disable casino site on their browser when they're free to do anything, you can't just hope the addict will stop to gamble after get discourse by their parent, wife, close friend etc. Seeking a professional is really important because they know how to handle and stop gambling addiction with the most effective way. I'm not really sure how bad is a gambling addict, but what I know is smoker is almost impossible to stop smoking.

You are absolutely correct  sir. I was also thinking that one should be able to disable casino sites on their browser or on their gadgets so as to avoid too much interaction with gambling sites if they are determined to quit gambling because too much interaction definitely results to too much engagements which is why it seems gambling is an addiction to some people. The other way round, if one stays close to casino where one often frequent to gamble, one can decide to relocate from that vicinity to another where there is no casino or gamble join around there. With this move, it would be meaningful when one say they are quitting from gambling. I think this would possibly help to solve the addiction problem.

I trust myself  

I don't spend more than minutes on any online casino, hours? Never.

I don't use more than a few dollars to gamble always, and so far I have lost more dollars, but it's fine because that would have been something regretful if I use a lot of money, I know what gambling is and I was prepared, I saw the losses coming, it's gambling after all.

Expecting anything from gambling? Shit, I know many people that got ruined because of gambling and today they are still struggling to get back on their feet, the day you start having dreams of achieving anything with gambling is the beginning of your down fall.

Zero dream with gambling, fun is my main reason I do this but I have gotten few 100s of dollars from gambling too, it's been fun and I don't plan on increasing what I can afford to lose, I am good with or without gambling.

The first in the list is 'Recognize the problem'. But even though we already know the problem, we still keep on doing it. I think that is because we are too weak to handle it on our own. This is where other numbers on your list came in like 'Confide in a love one' or 'Seek professional health/help'. On your second paragraph/sentence, I think it's okay to think about making a profit in gambling.

I believe almost all of us are like that. The only thing that we are following to not get into a serious problem, is to set a realistic profit that we will take out, just in case we get lucky and win. Being greedy is not a good thing. The more you want, the less you will get or you will only end up with nothing.
