Hello to all! Another topic about casinos and games. I started playing at the Stake.com quite often. At the very beginning I thought I would just play in the evening, but one evening turned into a constant game during the day. On the first deposit, I was lucky and I took out a little, it was x3 of my deposit and I was happy. Recently, I just started making stupid deposits and trying to win something and I understand that this is self-deception, but I cannot stop and make more and more deposits. I decided to make the 1st level of VIP, but for this I need to make a turnover of 10k dollars, but I am a player with low stakes and this is difficult for me to do. You seem to understand everything that you will lose, but you go to play again. How to get rid of gambling addiction?
Set your limit then follow the limit no matter how hard it is. In that case, you have control. Consider yourself lucky already when you win. On the stated situation when you win x3 of your deposit, it makes you hype that you can do the same thing or you can win again and with that you keep on making deposit even though you have consecutive losses. You let your emotions drive you which is not a good practice at all. Aside from setting limit, try to remind yourself the real "value" of money nowadays. It is very hard to earn money as well as the expenses on everyday living. Gambling will be still gambling even you play or not, even you win or lose.
