That's right, the beginners who are new to gambling will think more about their interest in gambling because at first glance they only think about the winnings they get and don't think about the negative effects of gambling, that way they will continue to gamble for who knows how long it will end, this is what must be avoided even though they are new to gambling for fear that they will fall deeper and become severely addicted.

With what you said telling stories or sharing advice is good, the way to avoid things like the above is that they themselves must have a good mindset not to think of gambling as the main income, you can do other activities whatever it is as long as you don't come close to gambling. Sometimes people who have managed to stay away from gambling but they see their own friends win, at this time there will be a sense of returning to gambling because they see their own friends who have won, even though this does not affect anything, it could be that their friend has lost a lot of money gambling and the winnings they get are not much, this is also a problem when we cannot restrain ourselves and return to gambling. a positive mindset is very difficult for gamblers because it is so difficult for them to fall deeper.

They do not have enough experience to think about the negative impacts that can arise from gambling and only know about the fun of gambling. But slowly, after they experience more frequent losses, they become more curious and can't accept it, so they try to gamble longer than usual. This makes them deeper into gambling, and many end up becoming addicted to gambling, which is difficult to cure.

Talking to other people can relieve the mental burden of gambling so that the person will not be frustrated with their gambling problems, especially if they experience losses more often in many gambling games. They can express what is in their hearts. It helps them to reduce sadness because of their losses playing gambling. But if it is not accompanied by a desire to avoid gambling, it will not go well because they can return to gambling and forget the previous sadness. But if they desire to reduce their gambling activities, they will look for ways that can work for them, and whatever it is, they will start doing it seriously to reduce gambling.

This applies to gamblers who have the mindset of gambling for entertainment and having fun, it is different for gamblers who gamble to make money, but I am one of the gamblers who considers it as entertainment only and to have fun. Sometimes every time I get pleasure, I usually stop gambling and went to bed to rest so that I could sleep soundly without a lot of thoughts and burdens because I gambled at night.

It's very different, maybe if gamblers who are looking for money usually often lose sleep because they are tired of chasing something they want to pursue but can't achieve and that's what makes many gamblers become uncontrollable because they are chasing something that is uncertain, even though in fact winning is just a bonus from gambling is nothing more but people consider it as income.

That means we both use gambling as entertainment and don't consider it a way to make money. We know it is very difficult to do because gambling is not a job like working in an office or a company. We only gamble to get pleasure. Once we are done, we can sleep soundly without much thought. That's what I've been doing, and I also don't gamble too often because I have other things to do, especially physical activity outside the home.

Gamblers who want to make money will use their time to gamble more often to win. Maybe for them, winning is easy, but not for us, so they still gamble more often than us. That's okay because at least we can prevent gambling addiction in ourselves and still enjoy gambling for what it is.
