A person does not try to understand all the details of the betting, to make this kind of earnings the main source of income, but is looking for easy money. As a result, the loss is taken as nothing terrible, and there is a desire to win back all loses.

According to statistics, no more than 1 of 20 gamblers make profits in the field of betting, but then the question arises: what does the other 19 make?

Gambling and ludomania are severe mental illnesses that are comparable in complexity to drug addiction, alcoholism and other types of addictions.

Gambling is not only dependence on computer games, gaming machines, but also a dependence on sports bets, to which most men are subject.
Symptoms of gaming addiction
Ludomania is accompanied by symptoms that are easy enough to notice from the outside. At the same time, a person susceptible to addiction does not always notice the presence of the first signs of illness, from which he cannot get rid of himself:
· You always want to put in a bookmaker, regardless of whether there are suitable sports events today or not.
· You do not have enough time for anything else in life, because you are passionate about playing live.
· You have a desire to quickly recoup immediately after the loss. The psychology of sports betting is one of the important components of success in betting, so the desire to recoup as soon as possible will necessarily lead to another loss.
· You are unhappy because of the game in the bookmaker, it does not bring you profit, but only takes the money. Perhaps your family is suffering because you devote a lot of time to gambling or become too irritable to your wife and children.
· You borrow money from your friends or take a loan from a bank to play at the bookmaker’s office.
· You cannot fall asleep due to the fact that your last forecast did not pass or you think about how the match ends, which takes place at night - whether your bet will go down or not.

Therefore, it is recommended, first of all, to think independently about what you personally can do in order to get rid of ludomania. If today you think that you do not need to completely drop the stakes, then there are some ways of treating the dependence on sports betting, which will help you not to get excited and save your money. Such treatment is necessary if you regularly lose money in the office, but have not yet reached the point of borrowing money from others and spending money what was not planned for the bankroll.

· Highlight a bankroll that you can afford to lose without harming yourself and your family. Let it be a small amount, but you will not be nervous if you lose it
· With a series of losses, take a break for yourself. Do not try to recoup, especially in the near future, just relax, turn off the computer; do not even watch the results of the matches for several days.
You should understand the following: if such a game does not make a profit, but you continue to do this at a loss, then why are you doing this? Maybe you just cannot stop and it's time to get treated for ludomania? Maybe, you borrow money for the next bet to win back the last loss? If yes, then you urgently need to seek help, because gambling cannot just kill one person, but also destroy his family, bring much grief to his family and friends.
