Do you think gambling has a spirit that controls gamblers?

What do you think spirit or not spirit?

It's only in the mind and it's just an alibi gamblers reason out when they are hooked to too much gambling, you are in total control of their action, there's no such thing as a gambling spirit for me, you are responsible for all your action, its the dopamine playing out, your desire to gamble because of the rewards its rather on emotion and not on being posses by any spirit.
All I know is if you are possessed you have no idea what's going on, you are fully aware that you are gambling you just deny that you can't control so you have this gambling spirit alibi.

Op did you hear that spirit use to control gamblers? There is nothing like spirit in gambling it is just greedy making people to be perpetual in gambling and that perpetual in gambling leads to gambling addiction. And you know what people are greedy because they want to win always and also want to win big so with that eagerness they become addicted to it. There is no spirit in anywhere.

It's part of human behavior. When a person loses something valuable, such as money in gambling, they tend to look for something to blame or a reason why it happened, even if it is not true. They often convince themselves of something that is not real.

You absolutely correct because people aren't able to control their gambling desire and they have been engulfed with greed at that point they won't know is greed but when they lose money they would look for something to defend themselves to make it looks as if was that which causes them to lose their money. Okay why don't they control their gambling or constantly betting if was controlled i don't they would channel their blames to any spirit or whatever. That is why is good for a gambler to know their limits and bounds while gambling to avoid excessive spending while gambling.

That is often the case with a certain type of gambler. They tend to spend money on gambling without considering the possible consequences of losing it all. They lack responsibility and fail to think clearly about the risks involved. Once they have lost everything, they may feel out of control and unable to remember what they did. It is a crazy thinking. Everyone needs to gamble responsibly and within their means.

Just as the title implies, does it mean gambling has a spirit that controls gamblers whereby they don't know when to quit and when to continue? What do you think spirit or not spirit?

From the non-religious point of view, the spirit that is controlling the gambler is actually the addiction that is already consuming the person and when you are addicted to something you are losing control of your thoughts and emotions, hence it is as if there is a power that is above you telling you on what to do. Just like the military, you are supposed to obey first and complain later. This is quite true if one is already consumed with something. The same principle can even be seen when someone is very much in love with somebody else...you would defy anything, everything and everybody when you fight for your love because you feel that you can not live life without him or her...now it would be the same with gambling addiction. Of course, religion can also help because remember that prayers can move mountain...so when someone is seeking help getting religious can be a big step forward.

Note: Gambling is not an addiction, but the excessive and continuous practice of it is basically an addiction. From the African and Spanish terms, one might say that there is a sort of spirit behind it. However, from a general perspective, continuous gambling is literally an addiction. It's essentially a negative aspect of human nature, where people tend to be physically, emotionally, and mentally attracted to something that gives them pleasure. The root of this gambling addiction lies in the excessive and continuous practice.

The world is vast, and not every gambler is addicted. Some people only gamble occasionally, depending on their mood or state of mind. In conclusion, excessive gambling is described as a spirit in the African term and an addiction in the general sense.

If we don't make small mistakes while gambling then we can win in gambling. We can win in gambling when we lose money from gambling too much time we have to stop gambling. Gambling mainly depends on luck.  In addition to doing this, gambling requires experience. If a person has no experience in gambling, he will lose most of the time in gambling.

If this is true please could you kindly explain it to me more better, because have I have came across few people that says over time while gambling and they reached their limits there is something in them to say they should try more time if they will win before leaving or closing for the day, and when they plays it will results that they lose and same thing will trigger them to bet again before they knew they don't know when they will end up emptying their account just to make sure they secure a winning for that very day before leaving.

But in the other hands I will boldly say that this is addiction spirit which has grown and resulted to greed, revenge gambling just to make sure they have winning before leaving the casino house has resulted in losing all their money.

What do you think spirit or not spirit?

Well if you believed in spiritually or something that we can't see, then maybe. But for me, it's all about the emotions. If you can't control your emotions and just losing money after money, then it's a sign that you might be starting to become a addict.

And with that emotion, it's going to be hard to control and you think that someone inside of you is controlling your mind, but it's not. So the first thing to do is get ahold of yourself and not let those emotions that you mentioned get into your mind.

When I saw this topic I smiled because I have always felt that there is a force that controls gamblers and this is why I felt this way in the past. Sometimes, I will make my prediction and then getting to the betting shop I will adjust the game and I will lose the ticket. This continued for a period but there was a day I adjusted the ticket and won then my mentality changed about a force controlling gamblers. A gambler is his enemy. If you can control your mind and be disciplined you can save yourself a lot.

Personal experience as I have noted shows that no supernatural spirit or external force controls gamblers’ actions. While some individuals may feel a sense of compulsion or loss of control when engaging in gambling activities, attributing this to a spirit in my thinking is a superstitious belief. If there is a force then nobody would ever win because the force will prevent every gambler from winning. If you make an accurate prediction, you will win.

No supernatural power or spirit can have any influence in gambling especially it is a game of luck.  Here if one's luck favors him then surely he can win the bet and if luck does not favor him then he cannot change his luck by any miraculous powers.
There are many gamblers who constantly worship ghosts and cast various spells to change their luck so their luck never changes because gambling has no place for all superstitions.
Yes, experience can play a bigger role here than luck, but the inexperienced have been shown to win big jackpots on luck alone.

I don't think there is any such thing, people just take gambling too far and look for something to blame when they lose. Gamblers just like the high they are experiencing when they're winning and then when they start losing they think they will win what they just lost back in a few bets.

Maybe they were never taught self control when they were growing up.

Yes you correct I can easily conquer to this, most gambler doesn't apply self control while gambling they always want it the way it's on them without knowing there should restrictive and precaution measures they apply to reduce their lost instead they keeps looking for something to blame. Sincerely speaking when some people says about something controlling them while gambling makes me wonder if not for greed involved.

Exactly. Because if it really is true then why not most of those believers became rich in gambling right? Most of them are still searching for luck and yet they haven't found one. Luck is luck and nothing else.

Greed control's almost all gamblers because they all want to make winning by all means when it goes against them is channeled to something else while they are failing in gambling, I still can't remember when luck is out of gambling. Many acts as if gambling is something that is being controlled by them or natural forces if only they are losing but when they are winning they feels so professional or entitlement that it's their ways of regularly winning without knowing that luck is only running on them.

I think it is common among gamblers to apportion blame. Blaming external factors or individuals helps gamblers make sense of their misfortune. Gamblers sometimes say things like “Rashford missed a penalty and that is why I didn’t win…my mind told me not to play Manchester United well I know something is behind my refusal not to follow my mind”.

Gamblers also often feel a sense of control over the outcome of the game, even when they don’t have any control. For example, a gambler might believe that they can influence the outcome of a roulette wheel by throwing the ball in a certain way, or that they can predict which card will be drawn next in a game of blackjack. When these expectations are not met, the gambler may blame external forces for their losses.

There is no spirit that governs gambling. As you have mentioned, it is one addiction that drives gamblers to wager more than they would ever want to.

Everywhere man is entitled to their own opinion, talking about spirit controlling gamblers. By my own theology everything done on this earth is control by a spirit whether positive or negative spirit, mostly gambling or gamblers are controlled by a strong negative spirit for example I know of a gambler within my area  who left his house driving himself to the place we're he  gamble's finish his money bet his car, lost it to betting and return back with a commercial vehicle that's to tell you he is under the influence of a strong negative spirit, that's my opinion.
