And if that money is important to you, and losing it will cause problems in your life and the life of your family, refuse to bet.
Don’t try to find strategies that guarantee success. Such strategies do not exist. And to protect yourself from the harmful effects of gambling, adhere to the principles of responsible gambling. We will talk about them further.
Basic Rules
Gambling addiction is included in the International Classification of Diseases. It is a serious mental disorder. It is called ludomania. No one is immune from addiction. Every person who bets on sports or plays in casinos is in the risk group.
The problem with ludomania is that it is very difficult to detect in the early stages of development. And when it becomes apparent, its treatment requires the involvement of professional doctors and psychologists. It is almost impossible to cope with addiction at later stages on your own.
A person suffering from ludomania, ceases to control his actions. He devotes all his free time to gambling, spends all his money. This leads not only to debts, but also to social problems. Relationships with colleagues at work, family and friends deteriorate.
Ask yourself some questions. Ask yourself how strong your gambling addiction is and whether you are ready to give it up for the long term. Try stopping betting for a few weeks. If it doesn’t make you angry or irritated, then it’s fine. But if you experience negative emotions, then you need help.
By following the principles of responsible play, you can reduce the risk of addiction and slow its progression once it occurs. Adhere to the following guidelines:
- Use for betting the money that you are not sorry to lose. Losing your deposit should not negatively affect your quality of life. If losing would cause you problems, don’t play;
