Do you think gambling has a spirit that controls gamblers?

[DragonF]

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.

This is a case of addiction. When a gambler is addicted he exhibits behaviour that is not considered normal. The person in question has an impulse disorder so it became difficult for him to stop gambling when he should. What happened to him is common to all addicted gamblers. I have seen even worse cases.

Any gambler that is chasing his losses, is not a responsible gambler, and that is why he used the money that he cannot afford to lose to gamble, and this is why that gambler will find it difficult accepting his loss, and quit the game. This is because he needs the money badly, and he cannot let it go, because it will look as if he can win it back, but didn't take the bold step. This is why a gambler shouldn't see gambling as a means to make income, if not he will end up chasing his losses, and will end up being an addict because he cannot control his emotions. It is good time, you have a time limit for your gambling activities to save you from more losses.

Gamblers chase their losses because they can't accept the fact that their money is gone, it makes no sense when you try to chase the money you have lost by gambling more. Some don't see it as a source of income they are just addicted to it and this is a way they get addicted easily to Gambling. A very common system they use when chasing their losses is the martingale system where after losing the first bet they double up their stake to play the next round and the more they keep losing they keep increasing their stake Because they are trying to recover, even if there's a slim chance of this working out it is very risky and absolutely not worth it

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?

If you think that it is a spirit, you must think that gambling addiction is a spiritual problem. If it is a spiritual issue, any spiritualist could solve it through spiritual means, but that is not the case because gambling addiction has refused to go away with prayer and spiritual sacrifices alone. If anyone has that thought, it is best they cancel it because that is an outdated way to think in this century when you could see that gambling requires professional help because addiction to it is a psychological problem.

Yes you are correct because I have also come to think of it about how the whole thing is going, what matters is the way we control our thoughts and feelings while gambling but that is by the way. Gambling is a game of fun and a game of interest and not what would entirely make one Rich overnight, even though people seems to be that hopeful of it to create additional income but that is the purpose. You know I have been following up with lot of post here and it shows that there is no spirituality behinds it instead emotions.

Spirit of greed of some sort. Why? Because most gamblers if not all ends up greedy and wants more even when losing since the idea of recovering those lost funds sometimes has to play in mind and that will be the start of being an emotional gambler or irresponsible gambler.

I agree with you. Spiritual methods are used to solve spiritual problems as you mentioned. This suggests that a gambling problem is not a spiritual problem as long as it cannot be resolved through spiritual methods. I believe that gambling has no spiritual significance. It would be misleading to claim that gambling is connected to a specific spirit because addiction stems from a gambler's behavior, which is unrelated to any spiritual practices. Those gamblers who understands what it means to gamble responsibly will never have problems gambling this is because they gamble within the acceptable gambling practices.

People do really love on attaching things,arent they? 

Even having those thoughts about gambling has a spirit of gambling that controls someone for them to gamble which its actuallly the main reason on why they do gamble
because of such greed or love for money. Although not all would really be having this kind of mindset but there would really be those individuals who do really ends up
on having that kind of desperation on the moment that they do gamble. and ends up on blaming other things on the time or moment that they do experience shit things.

You know as a gambler with the way things are being operated or happening within the gambling space there would be every believe that there is a mystery behind gambling which is far from humans comprehension and I know it's just natural it all depends on how we feel it or see it. Realistically who doesn't know wouldn't know because they it has reck people's Life then there is every needs to asked if there is anything spiritually connected to it but it's no no.

it has nothing to do with spirits or whatever because it is our free will that makes us do whatever we want to do in my opinion people just say these things so they do not have to take responsibility of their own actions just accept that it is your own doing and your own decision that got you to where you are

Different people have different superstitious beliefs and you can’t deny them of these beliefs, but it still doesn’t mean all of these beliefs are correct. Concerning people who believe there’s some sort of a spiritual force that engineers addiction and forces people to get addicted, it’s just a superstition because addiction is a matter of the mind and the brain and not a spiritual thing, every gambler is responsible for whatever gambling decisions they choose to make and whatever decision a gambler affects his approach towards gambling. So if a person is addicted, then it’s because he made several gambling choices which let t the addiction.

In fact a gambler becomes addicted to a subject exactly when he keeps thinking and researching the same subject over and over again, when we do something if we like it more then we want to do the same thing again and again. , or if we go to a restaurant and eat a meal and if that meal is very good then we will want to go to that restaurant and eat the same meal later.

This is exactly how addiction originates from liking. When a gambler gambles, if he gets a good profit because of his good luck, then he will want to play the same game again and again and thus he becomes addicted. And he wants to play that game again and again, but while gambling we have to keep in mind that luck is not always the same in gambling, we may get some profit at first but later we lose it should always be kept in mind.

All I will say that there's this urge that most gamblers have especially those who are addicted to it , most time gamblers don't know when to stop most time they usually stop after losing all their funds for gambling, Because have found my self in such situation before , before I eventually stopped gambling, well started in an online casino, anytime I win or lose always have this crazy urge to want to continue inorder to get more (win more) at the end will endup with big losses till eventually endup emptying my wallet . Then my eye where open then I force myself to stop gambling before I will endup ruin my self.

It is lovely that you could stop. Most people find it difficult to stop gambling, especially after losing a significant amount of money. Humans are prone to refusing to accept defeat, especially when they have given so much and when they consider what they have lost, it is difficult to let go. However, it is better and safer for a gambler to stop gambling because if he continues to gamble, he will lose more money and become financially ruined.

[Foden]

Losing much money won’t let you leave gamble to go Scot free , most people will give their best to get it back and gamble is a risk game which isn’t guarantee . It very hard to accept defeat not even when you have put your effort and time to it .
If you are trying to gamble and get win instantly that is very low mindest everything needs patience but if gambling you can be still patient and still lose .

Some religions in life think that life is driven by spirits in a way that spirits controls humans. That if you have the good spirits, they will guide you to the good direction and if someone has the bad spirits, that they can guide someone to bad direction. Like if someone is filled with gambling, that a spirit of gambling will control the person. But for people that do not belong to the religion, they may not believe. Some people even generally do not believe in anything like spirit.
