How can we avoid addictions in gambling?

[Hatchy]

-how often should we gamble?

Well usually gambling is meant to be for fun but the way the younger generation seems to be taking it is quite different from what it should be. They feel it's a way to print them quick money without labouring.. someone once said that any system that claims to double you money in a short period of time, is either there to make money off you or make you miserable.. gambling can put you in these two categories if you aren't careful. Majority of gamblers have fell to such because of their own kind of mindset. If you don't approach gambling with courtesy, you would end up ruining your life and that of people around you...

Not even the younger generation both the Old but the younger generation are the ones that is taking it very serous more than the old, while the Old don't take it that serous because they have learned a lot from gamble which most of them was also taking it very serous in thier youthful age so they have  come to realize what gambling is all about and how it works while most of this new gamblers are yet to experience how gambling works, most of them are still seeing it in the simplest form but I believe with time they will realize what gambling is all about and then start going with the right approach.

The instructions you have given are the main way to reduce gambling addiction. Abandoning the mentality of making money from gambling is the most appropriate way to prevent addiction. Although there are many ways to reduce addiction you have mentioned only one. I think that as you said to reduce addiction, do not keep gambling as a source of income. Along with this, you should limit the money allocated for gambling within a certain limit so that it does not exceed it. You should be in control of getting excited in response to losing in gambling.

Yes, there are many ways to avoid addiction, but perhaps the point is not so much about the methods themselves, but rather about setting limits on certain aspects such as time, money, and behavior. The time we spend gambling should not be too long, and we should not do it too often. With money, we must set limits, for example, a maximum of only 5% of our income. Finally, with behavior, our behavior determines the two factors above, so there should be no excessive behavior such as excessive gambling and spending beyond our means.

Time factor is the most important thing to cut down if you rewlly want to avoid gambling addiction. for a lot of people they think money is more important but if you think about it, people actually forget that the time they spend gambling is what makes them addicted. spending hours gambling is the main reason why a lot of people get hooked to it and they only think about reducing the amount of money they gamble with

When someone can try is best and stop gambling for some months am sure he will be okay and he can’t be addicted to it but when you bet always and seeing your loses sometimes you bet that will surly make you get confidant to bet more, because the more you bet and lose that is how you will be trying your best to bet more and try to change pattern and try other methods and see if he will favour you if you try again and you won’t get guaranteed of winning in gambling because is unpredictable and if you can’t take risk is better to avoid it.

 If you can be controlling your self and know when to bet and when to note. you will be okay without becoming addicted to it but people that are addicted if you check there history of there losses and winning you can see that they are active users in gambling they always bet anytime. And when you have become addicted is always difficult for you to leaves and you won’t get peace of mind when you’re frequent losing.

What you say is true. Avoiding or quitting addiction is possible as long as you have a strong intention to recover. I experienced this myself, from an incident that truly made me realize that excessive gambling only makes things more difficult. Therefore, I have the intention to recover. Now, although I still enjoy gambling, at least I don't engage in excessive behavior.

Previously, I couldn't calm down when I lost, and I always thought about it, especially if it was a large amount. But that only makes us want to do it again in order to chase wins or recover losses, which leads to addiction.

Until a gambler admits that he's addicted before he cannot make the necessary steps to curb his addiction, we don't have to force people as against their wish, because not every addicted gambler is seeing himself as an addict, and once this fact was not established, there could not be a way of suggesting for a remedy on that, while maintaining discipline.line in gambling could prevent us from being addicted.

The first step and way of helping a gambling addict is to first of all make sure that you make them understand that they are addicted; it's not something you force on them. And when they know, then the possible remedies can start coming in as suggestions, either self-help or you use a third party, which includes a therapist, if the addiction has gotten to that level.

Of course, you have to explain to him that you are addicted to gambling, you have to identify it and then you have to gradually reveal the signs of getting away from gambling addiction. But the pressure has to be revealed gradually so that the gambler does not get bored with this remedy, because if the gambler gets bored then these help remedies will not be able to help him in any way. The gambler must be gradually removed from gambling by the advice, this advice will change his life.

Most gambling addicts don’t even know that they are addicted, they won’t even believe you even after telling them that they are addicted to gambling, immediately after you finished talking with them, the next minutes you’ll still find them in the casinos gambling, that’s the extent to how gambling addiction works on this people. For me I think the best way is to possibly restrict them some access to cash so that when they start staying for some days without cash, they will have limited opportunity to go and gamble because they can’t gamble without cash. A therapist can help also, but at the end of the day they still need just more that a therapist talking to them.

But true sha, this younger generation seems to take gambling more seriously now than the older ones, maybe because everything is easily accessible and looks simple..  Apps, online casinos, quick wins being shared online and all of that, it all makes gambling look easy and attractive presently..

The older ones might be more relaxed about it because many of them have already been through that phase.. They took gambling quite seriously when they were younger too, learned the hard way, and eventually understood how it really works..  Experience taught them lessons that excitement did not..

I think because they've always seen it. One thing is that we had no idea what it was, we are discovering it at advanced ages, one thing is that they were born with these methods, even with all the digital systems, tablets, cell phones, computers and so on and therefore they are, from my point of view, more aware.

You can play gambling games every day if you want . The main thing is not to play for real money.

I have a friend who plays online casino games every day, but only on a demo account. He’s not trying to win money — he just enjoys clicking the buttons and collecting combinations.

Addiction usually starts after winning real money in a casino. It feels like you can repeat the win, and that’s when you start getting hooked on the game.

A lot also depends on education — smart, well-educated people who finished university tend to become addicted to gambling less often.

all of the gambler not playing gamble to make real money, it’s just entertainment,
but play gambling in the demo account, it’s not give the feeling of real gambling,
because gamble is full of excitement, though money is involved in real gambling,
but gambling will not be addict, if you play it with limit and don’t play everyday,

The idea that frequency control is a critical aspect towards preventing over attachment is a most sound idea, this is particularly in an environment of overwhelming gaming temptations. I also agree that the pressure created through the use of real money cannot be substituted by a digital system and as such we should be cognizant of each move. We are in fact training ourselves by not playing too often to be in full control of the rash urges that can occur in the whirl of the gaming world.

i agree with your point. in gambling or gaming the biggest problem usually arises when we fail to control ourselves. playing too frequently slowly turns into a habit and from there addiction develops. that is why controlling the frequency of play is extremely important. the pressure of real money is different the feeling in digital or demo games is far less intense than when real money is involved. therefore it is important to be conscious before placing every bet or making any decision. by playing less and taking breaks we learn to control our emotions and sudden urges. in the end self control is the most effective way to avoid major losses in gambling or gaming. however most gamblers ignore these issues which is actually not the right thing to do.

It's because of the lack of cash that is making some people to sell their property and use the money for gambling, except the person is just the one that is intentionally restraining their self from the money but for those that doesn't even have the money on their own, they will still sell their properties, borrow money or steal the money that doesn't belong to them just to make sure they satisfy their urge. Rehabilitation will do some people more good because it helps identity the best treatment to give to the person.

Well, it's totally normal to feel bad, stressed, or anxious when you lose money in gambling, even if it's a small amount. Because, you work hard for that money, and it's actually yours, so it's okay to feel protective of it. If you're feeling upset about losing, that is a sign it's impacting you. It's like anyone would feel bad losing something they earned, it's about what it means to you. Even if you gamble for fun and you may wish to handle it amicably when you lose, and you will still feel depressed about that. But if it's causing you more stress, it's worth thinking about how it fits into your bigger goals.

It is actually important for you to ask yourself, Are you gambling just for entertainment, or is it affecting your peace of mind?

You get to decide what you do with you do with your money, and your feelings about it are valid. And no one has the right to challenge you, no one should make you feel bad for caring about your own cash.

Anyone, anywhere and anytime can play gambling and is needed by those who like to bet or play games in gambling.
Young children are indeed very vulnerable because access can be obtained by anyone and are more at risk of becoming addicted
if there is no control from the closest people or even those who have gambled offline and then tried to gamble online.

I saw in my own neighborhood some people started playing slots on their smartphones with customized bets, using payments from E-Wallets and even very easy to make deposits.
The online casino sites used are also illegal and more scams because indeed the RTP and will are just lies, unless you play at a recommended online casino like the one on this forum.

Gambling is an addiction, which means that if you gamble, you are an addict. However, the severity of your addiction to gambling is the problem. The more you gamble, the more severe your addiction will be. Even if you only place small bets, because sometimes you will want more than usual. That's where big problems arise, spending all your money in a short time. If you want to overcome your gambling addiction, reduce your time gambling and apply your budget before gambling.

The earlier the budget the better for a gambler, addiction is not visible, or you won't see it coming, before you knew it, you would have been addicted to gambling most especially if serious care is not taken. Setting a clear and effective budget will help a gambler to set a, strict boundaries. I think the best way in which gambling addiction can be avoided in gambling is through responsible gambling practices. Because when a gambler practice responsible gambling there is no way you will gamble with what you can't afford to lose, and a responsible gambler will not spend his whole day or time gambling, and they will not even think of ignoring their responsibilities in the name of saving money to gamble, they will always prioritise their responsibilities or family over gambling. And with all those practices there is no way a gambler will get addicted to gambling.

It is wrong to say addiction is not visible. Addiction is very much visible, when someone is addicted to gambling it be obvious to everyone. They spend most of there time in gambling hall that it becomes visible to everyone. Yes it is easy for anyone to be addicted to gambling if proper care and self discipline isn't taken seriously. Nobody can get addicted to gambling without the person allowing it, it is only when we give room to gambling addiction that we can get addicted to it.

When a person becomes addicted to gambling, the effects of the addiction become apparent in his various activities, so it may not be correct to say that the addiction is invisible in some parts. There are many who gamble uncontrollably in public, which results in a clear change in their behavior and sense of responsibility. But there are many who can hide themselves very strictly even after being addicted, they are deeply addicted to gambling but they manage their gambling secretly, and it is not easy to see that they are addicted to gambling. But all in all, you should maintain controlled limits on yourself, addiction is created only when the limits are broken, otherwise it is possible to manage it responsibly.

When you win a bet, you stop with that amount you deposit and the minimum you use per bet. Do you place bets on sports games or go for casino games? Because if it's sports betting, that amount – a single win on a single game – might not be able to give you a withdrawable amount. I'm not saying you should increase your bet size, but for me, I would prefer to go with my local deposit instead of using crypto.

There are many options aside from crypto and one you've mentioned, if local deposit/withdrawal is allowed, it's the a good preference.

But one thing about that is if you're going to directly do it with your local bank account. That transaction might get flagged by the bank's system.

If you have other options that you can do local deposits without going through a bank, that's good and desirable.

That’s not hard to do if you have practiced it and have been doing it many times or for a long time. You seem to have a discipline based in your statement. Unfortunately, not everyone can be like you. It’s not that they don’t want to have discipline; it’s just hard for them to do it. Aside from winning, fighting their greed is also a challenge, especially if they didn’t practice restraining themselves from the start.

Judging from the surrounding environment, I believe many young people are more serious about gambling, so it's not surprising that many people are addicted, especially young people. Unfortunately, this has become a problem. Many of them get into trouble because of excessive gambling, such as getting into significant debt. Although they don't have to deal with banks, online loans are now available. Yes, some young people in my neighborhood are in debt because they gamble too hard. They should learn from this, but not all young people realize it and try to recover.

Yeah, it is similar to other addictions really.

You just need to find some other activities that you lime to do instead.

Then over time you will be less and less addicted to it.
