So with me it was my father. He taught me realitv early (was believe 12 or so) the Poker game. Then came the training, where also extreme
much gambled. Card games, and always for money. Even Mau-Mau was played for money. There was in any case the cornerstone,
that without money every game is somehow boring. The thrill was missing.
Then I met a good buddy whose parents had a pub with a vending machine. Of course I did not let myself
long. Then came the arcades, and finally the Online Casinos
I don't know if there are deeper factors that play a role. I believe to this day that it was quite banal the attraction. At some point
playing anything without money was boring and unattractive. We even played Monopoly with a conversion factor of
Money. So looking back, it was sick, but cool!
Online casino was of course extreme. Due to the permanent availability of money and casino, the whole thing of course got
and ended at the beginning of the year with said lock. From the ground up a gambler, I think that sums it up quite well.
Yes, there are people who are immune to it. I have met many of those who shook their heads, and were
full of incomprehension how you can throw your money out like that. Of course, they were right. Maybe they didn't know the thrill,
maybe they were actually immune. The bottom line is that they weren't gambling.
Susceptible are definitely people, with increased Risk tolerance, and also those who have lost the connection to money, or have never learned it.
If you have gambled away a win of 5000€, then you have lost the connection, and are highly addicted. Think, there is
there is no excuse anymore, and includes me. Especially if you don't cash out 5000€, what else is to
come? This then helped me a lot to realize that something is not right at all
My father basically taught me to be risky, and money is just money, if you lose it, the world doesn't end.
That was definitely my thinking for years.
That sounds like a good explanation in summary. The stimulus and the loss of control.
Gambling addiction is a disease like drug addiction or depression, which can affect many people.
The gambling itself is not bad, but it can be very dangerous.
This is where our completely incompetent government should rather start when it comes to the alleged protection of gamblers.
The protection against the loss of control and the proper education, as far as the dangers of gambling are concerned.
The factual clarification!
But apart from a small service number for addiction counseling, there is no support before or during the addiction develops...
However, no isolated addiction gene has been found yet either. So researchers themselves are not yet sure exactly what causes addiction.
However, this should not serve as an excuse/exculpation for anyone a la "Well, you see, my father was always playing the lottery, it's all his fault"
Yes, but that's what I meant.
I am a Monk-Pedantic-Excel game control freak. Certainly in the kind ne exception.
As for gambling I am very sure that I am not prone to drift into a gambling addiction.
But why? Because I'm so extreme about this gambling control because I think it's cool.
If I didn't have this need for this order, maybe I could become a gambling addict?
I think so, just like everyone else who gambles.
That brings us back to the point. Everything is individual.

How is your willingness to take risks in general? I guess it's rather low, which makes it easier to control the game well. If it should be rather high, you'll get double respect from me. It might be a little challenge to get both things under one hat without any problems.
I will throw something into the room and you can let it have an effect on you
I think Gambling addiction in most cases goes hand in hand with the desire for money if you have little and get e.g. social benefits you want to treat yourself to something and you imagine the most beautiful dreams and if you have more than enough money you want to strengthen your position and have even more money
Thus, I think really filed from the disease of gambling addiction is only the one who does not overestimate this factor of money and whose life is just as beautiful with as without money
These are then again the fewest and thus the disease is also automatically represented more often
To say one plays mainly for pleasure is in most cases probably a misjudgment because the games except for the thrill are actually comparable to a paint-by-numbers for 3 year olds what compared to a say Call of Duty or Fortnite what you can really learn and train is rather dull and undemanding even if one by the psyche is gladly conveyed how well you have stopped the 3 Scatters or how great you have it but to press on 300
@gamble1: Good point. Of course the providers try to manipulate the player. If someone then really thinks
that he can influence the machine, it's almost dangerous again. This is again what I mean by enlightenment.
The question "Why do you play?" should be answered clearly by everyone.
For me it's the fun of winning and the good feeling when you can buy something great or donate some of it.
So money is of course always an issue when gambling.
For example, with sports betting, it's just like your video game examples, except that I play against the bookmaker and not against other people like in Fortnite.
I can't influence the game on the field, but I can estimate it.
And it's a matter of who estimates it better, the bookmaker or me.
And if I judge the selected football games better than the bookmaker, I have won against the bookmaker and even won money.
The downside is that if the bookmaker wins against me, I lose money.
No matter what game of chance, you should always assume that the entire stake is completely lost.
And with this feeling then start into the game, then one is less disappointed, whereby the positive feelings are stronger with the game,
than the negative ones.
I play slots for example only rarely and then as a Low Roller with 0.20 EUR
For example, the reason for playing is simply to watch the colorful pictures and possibly win 30.00 EUR (I always set the payout limit at 30.00 EUR net).
Everyone needs a bit of mindless relaxation
Of course discipline is the important basis here. The variant I have presented represents me and is not representative of the majority of the gaming community.
But there we are again on the subject of enlightenment
Discipline, game plan and above all THE CORRECT ESTIMATION to gambling the basis for proper playing.
But you don't read that anywhere. Only the usual 0815 tips that bring nothing.
The players without a game plan are left alone with their emotions and the wrong assessment to gambling. This is how game problems can arise.
As soon as emotion controls the game, the player has lost for sure.

Once emotion controls the game, the player has lost for sure.
That's the way it is. And there are also differences in how certain games trigger emotionally. With slots, Roulette and all the Evolution live games I never had loss of control. With Poker (only in cash games) or Blackjack, on the other hand, I've had that happen more often. It would be interesting to know why this is so.
That's right. And there are also differences in how certain games trigger emotionally. With slots, Roulette and all the Evolution live games I never had loss of control.

In poker you can quickly fall into tilt mode. I've had that with roulette and blackjack as well
