If they make gambling as their hobby, in my opinion, they have to prepare a lot of money because most likely they will only lose, and it is also not easy to get a big win. The hobby that I know is a habit that makes ourselves happy, if indeed gambling can make them happy that's great, it's just that they need to see how the finances they have, whether they can fulfill gambling as a hobby? in my opinion it is very unlikely if gambling is made as a hobby, because hobbies basically don't care about money, if they are still gambling with the aim or purpose of getting a big win, in my opinion it is not a hobby, but pursuing victory.
It's true what you said, however gambling is not good if it is made into a hobby and there are still many other things that have positive value, and are better than gambling. gambling with fun they can do with a budget of money that is not too excessive. and don't make gambling the main income.

Making gambling a hobby is a big mistake because it will obviously use up a lot of money that might be immediately spent on one game of gambling. It also doesn't guarantee that they can get big or small wins because in gambling, getting a win is very difficult and only lucky gamblers can get it. A hobby requires money and if the hobby is gambling, we will need a lot of money, especially if we experience a loss, which will make us want to deposit more money so that we can recover the loss. They might be happy if they can win, especially if it is a big win, but in reality, many people cannot win, so they cannot be happy pursuing their hobby of gambling. They should make gambling an activity in their spare time and not use a lot of money to be able to enjoy their gambling activities so that they will not experience a lot of losses.

Those who are already addicted will likely find it difficult to recover, because what needs to be treated is the mind and mentality, not the physical body. It will most likely take a long time to heal the mind just like with drugs. Maybe they have to go through rehabilitation which will torture them, because it can be painful even though there is no violence. But if it's for a clean and complete recovery, they have to go through it, because it's for their own good. They don't have to go to a doctor, they have to go to a psychological expert who specializes in the mind and mentality. The many defeats they get are what makes them stressed with their mental state. It is unfortunate that their mentality and mind are damaged because of gambling, there is also news that they are crazy because they lose gambling a lot, this certainly does not want to be experienced by people so they should immediately realize the harmful effects of gambling. By limiting gambling and avoiding greed that triggers addiction, establishing strong self-control so as not to be easily tempted to continue gambling and gambling.

Healing people who are addicted is not easy because it requires awareness and recognition from them so that there is no resistance when they begin the healing process. Maybe it will be painful for them because they have to admit that they are addicted and need to be treated and cured immediately so that the addiction doesn't get worse and it will be even more difficult to cure it. This also requires support from their family so that the addicted person can see that they are not alone in undergoing their recovery sessions. This will encourage them to undergo their healing sessions so that they can become stronger and be able to undergo therapy well. It may take time but if their family can accompany them, it can provide support for them so they can do better in their therapy sessions. They have to undergo a series of healing processes that have been prepared by the psychiatrist or expert who handles them so that they can get good treatment. And the presence of their family can encourage addicts that they are still given the opportunity to have a normal life again, like before they became addicted.

The truth is that it is wrong, it's just that they still have high hopes for getting a big win in gambling even though they lose continuously but they still gamble, because their minds have been consumed by gambling which is said to be able to provide a big win that they will get, unfortunately they don't realize that, because it's just a gambling marketing technique to drain the money they have. The great temptation of gambling is no joke, so many people forget about other things that are more important and that they should do as usual, they forget many other things that must be their own responsibility, such as work, usually they can forget about work which is clearly their main income just to gamble and this is certainly wrong, it's like taking off a gemstone for a pebble. where they dare to let go of what is clear for things that are not yet clear. I wonder what the thoughts of those who are willing to lose a lot of money just for gambling which is basically just for entertainment, I've thought about it why they can do this bad thing, if only they can limit themselves maybe they won't do things that will spend a lot of their money.

They must immediately be made aware that their hopes of getting a big win in gambling will not be as easy as they think because they could experience a bigger loss and if they cannot accept it, they will probably continue gambling. But when they are able to win some money, it also doesn't stop them from leaving the casino because, in their minds, they will say that they can still get big wins so that will make them continue gambling. It is the temptation of gambling that people who do not have good self-control will definitely be tempted to continue gambling and will not think that they could lose more in the next round. However, people who have strong self-control will not be tempted and will leave the casino because they think that they have had enough gambling and it is time to leave gambling. These wise people can think that they can still gamble at another time and if they have had enough gambling, they prefer to rest and reduce their tension. They will not force themselves to continue gambling, especially if they have won a certain amount of money, because they want to enjoy the winning moment with their friends.

And the ego that they follow is disastrous for themselves, it is not wrong if they experience stress , upset, and emotions. Because it is the result of what they did before they should indeed be able to accept the fact that they have been exposed to the dangerous bad effects of gambling, it cannot be other people who are affected Chasing losses that are certain to only spend a lot of their money is indeed difficult to avoid, only a few people can limit their gambling so as not to chase their losses, if they gamble and get a loss there they should stop and leave the casino do not think about the losess that have occurred especially to chase it is not recommended. Only a few people can think of the risks if they chase losses that will bring many problems that are not only about money.
It does not rule out the possibility that they will do the same gambling as we discussed if they already feel bored with gambling that always loses, but I hope that does not happen, if they can control themselves, as you said then they must maintain it and even have to train it to be completely mastered until they are sick of endless gambling if they are not aware of what they are doing. it is better to prevent than to cure. For that they themselves must do everything.

And because having experienced a losing streak can make them annoyed, stressed and frustrated, it is best for them to immediately leave the casino and rest so that they will not have the desire to recover their losses. They should do that rather than continue gambling because it will be riskier for them if they continue gambling with all the negative feelings they have. They just want to recover their losses but if they can be conscious and think clearly, they will definitely not want to continue gambling because it requires more money. After all, their money has been used up in the previous round, and if they want to continue gambling, they have to deposit more money to gamble again. Actually, if there are people who can think clearly before making a decision, these are the lucky people because they can avoid bigger losses and can also prevent themselves from gambling addiction, which can come at any time without them realizing it. That is why when playing gambling, we really have to have good self-control so that we are not tempted to continue gambling, whatever the outcome.

Yep, gambling for fun is a far cry from gambling for profit. Yet, the allure of "easy money" often blinds players, doesn't it? They forget, or perhaps ignore, the foundational truth of gambling: its a game of chance, not a reliable income source. Your advice to avoid chasing monetary gains in gambling is sound. Why? Because the house always has the edge. Its a business, after all, designed for profit - theirs, not the gamblers'.

The fallacy many fall into is believing they can outsmart a system designed to profit from their hopes. Its not about intelligence or strategy; its about probability, and the odds are not in their favor. The irony? Those few who do profit consistently from gambling often possess skills or insights that transcend mere luck. Yet, for most, this remains an elusive dream. Better to find joy in the thrill of the game than the mirage of easy riches.

The attraction of winning some money will be stronger than what they already have. Even though they have been able to win some money, because their greed has become greater, they don't care about what they have won and still want to look for an even bigger win. That's what makes many gamblers choose to continue gambling because they still hope to get bigger wins. Gamblers will find it difficult to win in the form of money because gambling belongs to the casino so the casino will win a lot of money while the gamblers will only experience a lot of losses.

We will not be able to cheat the system because the casinos have a better system than us and also, the casinos have it all so they will definitely control their business as best as possible. We gamblers can only use gambling as an activity that provides pleasure even though we will experience losses more often. But at least we can have fun playing gambling and can stop gambling when we have had enough. We also don't need to chase victory because we have to be aware that we are just small gamblers who only seek entertainment by gambling.
