If someone has already accepted their gambling addiction and managed to stop gambling, it is synonymous with willpower.
But the paradox is that if you have the strength and conviction to stop gambling, anyone could come to the conclusion: "Why not just control it and that's it, without needing to quit gambling completely?".
Which brings us to this questions:
Is it harder to control gambling or limit it without falling into excess than to stop gambling forever?
Why is the effective strategy not moderation but absolute abstinence?
In fact, for those who are addicted to gambling and have a great desire to earn money from gambling, it will be very difficult to accept gambling as entertainment and bring it to a level from excessive gambling. Now a person used to gamble constantly and used a lot of money in gambling, now if that person is asked to accept gambling as entertainment and allocate a very small amount of money to gambling, then I think it will be very difficult for this person to follow this instruction because his hope of earning money from gambling and constant gambling will not allow him to be right at all. However, in our case, any decision is a matter of the moment because we are accepting gambling as entertainment and using a small amount of money in gambling, due to which we can remain steadfast in any decision at any time.
At the moment that you do gamble then the main priority that you should be having in mind is to have fun and entertainment or simply with the leisure that you should be getting. On the moment that you have decided on trying out to make money with it then this is where issues will be starting to come out. Why? This is where the initial steps on which it will be causing up for you to become addicted. Gambling isnt that bad as long you do make yourself that responsible because on the time or moment that you do become that having no right way of thinking about into your actions towards it then this is where issues will be keeping on piling up. The main thing that comes up into your mind is on how you would be coping up into the loses that you do have experienced earlier and since from the start you are that aiming on making money with gambling then the reality do give out that different result on which it do lead up into that disappointment and on the time that you hadnt been able to meet up your expectations since you have started with gambling. Speaking about strategy then it is just that adding up on the spice of your gambling session but this isnt something that would be a holy grail for you to make money with gambling on which this is a very wrong mentality that you would be having. So it will be just that wrong on thinking up on this way and cant be denied that this is one of the main reasons on why gamblers trying out different strategies on which at the time that they do bust up then they would be hopping into other strategy that they have seen in other gamblers that made up them win and then test it out and doing it continuously until they have lost big time.
