Indeed, everyone should think about their basic needs first and then think about other things they need, such as mere entertainment. With gambling, perhaps it can be done for entertainment, but unfortunately, by doing this one thing, many of them make gambling one of the quick ways to make money. where by aiming like this it actually makes them spend a lot of money on gambling. the problem may be in good self-control, it is true what you said if they have good self-control maybe there will be no serious problems.
In my opinion, everything that is positively related to gambling is in self-control, because with good self-control, it seems like there are many things you can own and set, such as budget limits gambling time limits, as well as greed and emotions that can be controlled. , if they don't have good self-control then all these things can happen and they will experience destruction in their lives.
Gambling is indeed entertainment, but this form of entertainment requires money. Apart from that, there are negative impacts that a person will receive after he gambles more often. He can become addicted to gambling if he gambles too often without responsibility and self-control so that it is no longer entertainment but has become an addiction that wants always to gamble to get pleasure. That is why when playing gambling, we must always have self-control and responsibility so that we can prevent problems from arising. Maybe to balance gambling as entertainment, we can do other activities that are also included in entertainment so that we will see that we have more activities that can provide entertainment for us.
If a person can have good self-control, he will not experience problems while gambling and he can enjoy his free time gambling. He will always remember that gambling is entertainment that does not need to be used all the time and also does not need to use more money every time they gamble. There must be clear boundaries to avoid these problems and not lose money. If they can do this, they can finally use gambling as a form of entertainment that can fill their free time.
All about moderation. My motto is "If you're going to play, play smart." That need constraints. A cheat meal in a diet is fine, but dont let it control your life.
Speaking of self-control. Like a muscle, it gets stronger with use. Gamblers should work this muscle. Stick to a budget and remember its for enjoyment, not money. Those that gamble as a hobby enjoy it most, in my experience. They know when to hold and fold.
And then, esponsibility. This is about managing money and expectations. Gambling should flavor life, not define it. My mantra? Gamble for fun, not escape issues. What's entertainment without fun?
Yes, everything is about restrictions and moderation in gambling. If someone can do this, he will be calm when gambling and not worry about getting into trouble because he can always look after himself while gambling. We should not let gambling take part in our lives because basically, gambling is a form of entertainment that we can choose to use or not to use.
Continuing to practice self-control will make a person better at protecting himself so that he doesn't get into trouble from gambling. Always having self-control can protect them from going beyond their limits so that they will use gambling as entertainment and not to make money.
Gambling for fun and not to make money. That's what we have to hold on to while we gamble so we don't try to use it excessively. We will also look for other activities that can provide entertainment for us so that we are not dependent on gambling to get entertainment.
