The solution to gambling!
As a gambler, without having to specify on either you are an addicted gambler or a responsible gambler that actually knows how to manage his gambling behavior;
How does this kind of subject for a thread makes you feel?
You many at times I see gambling been presented in the wrong light and even then, it’s not be avoided. It makes me wonder, if a person would identify something wrong and still goes ahead to do it to themselves!
Is gambling really the problem or are we the problem?
The human mind as I see it is one that isn’t accustomed to accept fault and take blames. Very few persons in our world has learnt to be the offender, to take the hit even when they are not fully convinced.
If there are those that are able to manage their behavior around gambling and have no problem, why should we see gambling to be a problem other than ourselves to have problems with our behavior towards the gambling?
I really want to understand why is that because, it’s a little offensive and disrespectful to the line of business from my view point. Perhaps I can be convinced otherwise with some logical statements of fact!
Most people recognise that responsible gambling on a small scale for fun is not a problem. Some people spend money on game skins, figurines or collecting playing cards that don't necessarily have value after they've spent that money - resulting in the same outcome as betting. I don't judge anyone else for how they spend their hard earned money.
Irresponsible gamblers generally know deep down that what they're doing is problematic and they shouldn't be doing this excessively. However they often find themselves trapped in a psychological hole and it's easier to keep digging rather than trying the difficult climb back out again. At a certain point, no matter how much money was spent on it, you just have to accept it's all gone and you'll never earn it back the same way that you spend it - embrace that and you'll be free again.
