I don't really save up money over time instead, I tend to put $20 into a gambling site on a loan. That means I won't play again until I've repayed the loan meaning I stop myself from depositing over and over as some do.

Everytime I want to play gambling , I'm usually set my deposit to  XX amount and won't to deposit again after my first deposit on that day (or I'm using faucet bet if necessary) Why I did this? , for avoid being greedy and make your gameplay more convenient and fun .
Sure , after I'm tired and want to leave the site I'll withdraw my money and make the balance become 0 in my account and deposit again in case I want to play again some day. That's it , because I don't want to throw away my money to gambling site without any plan.

Actually for me I don't
save money from my salary form my work.

What I am doing is to save all the money or btc
that I get in Signature Campaign, and
that Is what I used to play gambling.

Maybe now, I just set a specific amount for my gambling needs, I call it as needs because I think I cannot live without gambling but to tell you I am not addicted to it. I have a budget for the amount that I will lose but I do not have a specific target for the amount that I will be winning, I will just let my luck tell me how much I should win.

i think i am not budget gambler because every time i playing gambling, i am not make decision on how much i want to spend, but for sure, i only spend small amount. at least i only use 0.005btc to do gamble. better to save my bitcoin to get profit.

Yeah i know a few people who gamble with sig money only.

People who use sig money to gamble should be the only budget gamblers around as compared to taking out money from your bank account which might result in you spending more than you planned for 

For me I only do sportsbetting then try to build my roll there I started with 0.02 this week now ended up with some nice profit like 0.12. Sometimes if I manage to went on a win streak I play some of my profits on dice and slots. With this kind of restriction I think like i'm saving a lot.

when i became free then i tried to make some free gambling only . because i alredy losses much btc
earlier my weekly earning goes in water through gambling .
but now i became knowledged and making only fun with gambling with free faucet .

Oh so you learned about free to play.

When, I want to test spoortbooks or Gambling Websites , I have A budget of 0.02 btc if I like how it works, I will play frequently without budget, with the money I have.
if possible,i'll try to not deposit frecuently, the ammount I used to bet. with this budget is like 0.002-0.005 btc.

I play within my weekly budget and put my bets mostly on weekend because of major leagues as I am active on sports betting, if I made huge profit than I give try to other casino games too but with very low amount not to put my all money on it.

Not typicaly a  budget  gambler  but   i do set some  limit  but   in random  amounts  but still the same  though  because  you are  limiting yourself  on a  certain amount which you would  use to  play gambling  over the weekend  but  i dont  spend  up all too  much and   could  able  to save  some   amount for other  purposes.

This method kind of help some people. Those people that aren't addicted to gambling yet. But those legit gambling addicts that have tried this probably withdrawn some more money from their bank accounts after losing all that money. Hoping to recover the loss, maybe. Or just to keep betting.

Some gamblers also use this method to not feel sorry for themselves. They would be all like, "at least I have a limit when I'm gambling. At least I didn't lose that much money." Losing is still losing. I'm not against gambling with limits but I just think gamblers are just using this as an excuse for themselves to not worry about all those lost money.

Well gambling is meant to be more of an entertainment people just take it to far.
Its like anything else you do in life your losing money when you got to the movies or do anything else.
Yes people with addictions got problems but some people just like to play games with some extra cash which there isn't really and issue with it.

I had a problem in the start because i used to arrange money and deposits  to gamble and if i loose things became really hard for me.But now i only gamble with the amount which i recieve every week from the signature campaigns.In that way atleast i dont have to deposit my fiat money again and again.

Oh i guess many people use these sig campaigns as a way to earn gambling funds then, i knew some people do it but this is the start of the thread and a few have already said they do.

Yes, it's called maintaining a gambling bankroll.

I never saved money from my salary to be used in gambling. I'd rather spend it in buying some food or go out with my family/friends instead of losing it in just several clicks (just for me tho). I used to play using free faucet bits only, just satisfied with that since I'm not playing often, just when bored. The difference is that, I'm not expecting to win and it's not that hard whenI lose unlike when you deposit and play.

Actually it depend on the nature of game whether it's luck based or other kind of which demand some research like sports betting, I have hard limit for gambling and at the moment I never exceed than my bankroll because I am not a greedy type of gambler just want to make little profit with my betting.

Ah yeah just killing time faucets can be pretty handy, not sure how people turn it to profit but some do.
Every once and a while i see someone say i turned a faucet into 1 btc, the issue is the time it prob took them.

I don't save or allot money for gambling, if i have some and if there is no need fro the money(approx 1 week), I would deposit that and gamble. This scenario happens very rarely. Mostly i would use tips and earning fro the forum to bet. I have tried to use faucet to win, but that never happened to me till now, But i expect on some very lucky day i'd hit some jackpots.

But i don't count on winning from gambling for things to buy or spend, since i haven't won any larger amount till now rather lost some, so better not to cut short my expenses and save to gamble after certain amount accumulated

Determine the budget for betting by storing in some time, is not a good way because when you defeat will feel tremendous pain may in this way can be used for who is to stop gambling.

Budget gambling is the only way to gamble. If you bet more than you can afford to lose, that will end up in you panicking and trying to win back what you lost since you couldnt afford to lose it in the first place. Chasing losses turns into losing even more, and it's just a vicious cycle that ends in misery.

No, I am not budget gambler anymore since I am heavily active in sports betting these days. I am placing bets on very choosy matches where I see real potential of getting something in return. I was raising capital when I was doing casino related gambling on slots games and roulette last year but that time has gone.

I have very hard limit for gambling as I know it is not to get rich so quickly so that I am playing with very small amount on different gambling sites, playing just for fun not to make profit.

If I understood from budget gambling the meaning is playing gambling within some budget then yes I am also this type of gambler. I also set some specific amount separate of which I have made mind to afford if loosing happen. Gambling must be done by remaining in limits of some amount else you are going to destroy yourself.

Yes,from my earning weather bitcoin or fiat,i take a small portion for that and do gambling with them.Even if i loose them in one day then i stop gambling for some time and if i am lucky and i win some amount then that is bonus,but i dont wanna excede that amount in gambling.

For all budget gamblers best would be to put aside a weekly budget, for example 100 mBTC and follow my bets here. After 1 month of playing I have shown firmly that in the long run I am and will continue to be unstoppable. I am planning a minimum ROI of 10-15% every month. Check my thread here for all my tips.

Sounds like a term of a disciplined gambler to me. I doubt anyone who gambles actually does this. The only 2 kinds of players I can imagine to be doing this would be a poker player or a sportsbettor who would efficiently follow a bankroll strategy.

Every time  i  gamble yes i do always budget the amount amount that i would put on the bank roll. I am much likely do play just to have fun so spending lesser amount is just fine. If i do win then it would just be a bonus for me so still i enjoy playing even if i do lose my capital.

I actually dont think that much when i am gambling,it just depent on my wish i bet only on sports so when there is my favorite teams match going on then bet on that a bit bigger amount,also i am not very regular in the gambling now.

Yes I am.. I only set a certain amount of budget when I'm gambling so that it won't affect my saved money. I always limit myself for gambling so that it won't be addictive. I just want to gable for fun and to entertain myself.

It is good to be a budget gambler as you will limit your losses. I will be worried if you treat gambling as a career and place big money in gambling.
I gamble a small amount but I don't save up in advance to place my bet. Even if I loose my capital, I would treat it as spending in entertainment and life goes on for me.

Honestly i am not budgeting gambling i just gamble just sometime if i had got some free time in my work..
Or sometimes i get my profit in trading i just addicted on the game in dragon tale which rise pond.. i am mastering how to play this game and looking for other game..

I don't usually save money just to gamble it all on my free time. When I gamble, I gamble with my free money or left over money and not with the money I saved for days. I don't gamble too often and I don't put too much money in my bankroll unless I am really bored and have some nice amount of extra coins.

I do agree on having a safety net when gambling so we will not end up losing everything, but 5% of total bankroll is fairly low. but its a good budget management when gambling to lessen the risk of losing it all

I will not make any budget to play gambling. But while playing the game, i will fix one amount in my mind if I reach that amount I will stop my play. I think this is not budgeting. I will play for fun and entertainment when I get free time, and when I get stress from office work, i will play. So I will not make any budget for my entertainment.

Well, though taking loans and gambling is bad, but you are really creative and using that as a control too, excellent !

I never took loans for gambling or such, but I have saved a lot of times some bitcoins at the last of month so that I can enjoy gambling, though I always regret later once I have lost all in gambling.

Same as  yours  ,  i dont really tend  to  put  up money  just  to play gambling  ive rather  save it  and spend  it  on  more important things because  im always thinking  to  my responsibilities  to other  things and i really dont mind  on  my own  leisure since  im really  contented  to spent  my time  with  my family.   I do also  use  faucets  on a certain website  just  to  have  fun  only and   doesnt expect to make  money with it as  long  i  enjoy it then its already okay for me.

I don't put money on the side for gambling on purpose.
I have my fixed and variable expenses per week. If something is left at the weekend, meaning I don't need it for anything else, I may use it for gambling. But this is something I decide on a short term.

Well that's the thing there you both have a salary but for those who don't and thinks that gambling is a better way to earn their amounts. On the other hand i would really agree to you that gambling is really made for entertainment so we don't have to expect winning unless given which is already a bonus.

Yeah, everything you say is true. All the people who do the majority of gambling is wrong to assume that their gambling place looking for profits. But if we think or see from the history of the emergence of gambling then all they think of is very much different from what was already planned at the time of the initial formation of gambling. so, it's about mindet and this is not the fault of gambling

I can not say how the exact number of money that I use. expenditure can not be certain because we do not know are going to win or lose. ii armpits so all predictable. no number is spesific

Yeah same as you my personal liabilities are most important to me thats why i do gambling on occasional basis only and also i don't want to get hook on it and just intend a very little percentage and just intend for fun only, and aslong as possible i keep myself more far away from gambling since i know gambling can be disastrous if we would let it eat our personality for just this wrong tantrums.

setting a budget or a limit is very important in gambling, i always set my limit when i want to gamble, so whenever i lost the amount i will stop myself, because that is the correct way for gambling, gambling is meant for fun not to waste your wealth

yes i'm because i don't want to do very much gambling and become an addicted and i realize that to get profit from gambling is very difficult that's why when do gamble i have always set my maximal money and if i lost until reach those amount i would stop gamble and leave it for a while however usually for a week i spend 0.02-0.04 btc for a gamble

How can saving of money for gambling at the end of month depend on the type of game ?
I mean if you are a gambler and save money, that's fine but I think even if I gamble sports or dice, I neither saved money I just go to site see my balance in wallet deposit some and play any game I like.

good point mate because if you keep your money inside that gambling site you will be tempted to play more and greediness will follow the results would be in the losing part, but if you do this practice from time to time you will be saving your self into addiction and will also saving your money to be burned out.

I personally never saved money for gambling or even for movies. I always check my pockets at weekends and if I am short of money, fine a simple weekend and if I am having some funds I do celebrate like watching movies, buying BTC and gambling and much more.

This is the way you should play if you wish to have fun and earn profit too. Playing on a budget can save you from losing your money. Before going to a casino, you should prepare by calculating how much you can afford to lose. Don't take more than that sum with you and it might save some tens, hundreds of maybe even thousands of bucks everytime you gamble. I used not to be a budget gambler until I found out it's the only way you can have fun.

we can never gain if we don'y play that is the simple logic we should think about but gambling since you are saying that gambling is not a good for profit earnings, but we should not take out the fact that theirs people willing to risk their money just to gain some little profits on gambling sites, we can actually see that they got huge volumes thats why many gambling site coming out and spread their business since they know that there are still many people willing to play at them.

Yeah they are more people that want gamble and want to win a big amount.And depends on the people what his goal in gambling others people want only for entertainment and fun.

One of the problems why we are unsuccessful in gambling is because we do not treat it serious, actually if you are aiming for profit then you focus should only on your aim, and you cannot just easily do that without the right resources or the necessary factors you need to do. A decent bankroll is one of the most important, with it you can prove to yourself you are really serious.

I am kinda like this. I play with my bitcoin I earned by participating in a signature campaign. I never use whole payment for my gambling.
My rule is to use max 50% - usually when I am incredible unlucky with my bets a nd my standard budget is 25% of every week's sig camp payment.

That is correct because gambling is meant for fun and entertainment purpose so we should always fix a certain amount for our entertainment for each session instead spending a lot of money on these fun activities. But these games are very attractive, so it is always good to start with some fixed amount instead loading lot of money to any gambling sites.

Exactly, that is why I am budgeting when I do gambling with bitcoin gambling I used to budget maximum of 0.01 a day no more no less.

And if ever I am going to be unfortunate within the day, I will stopped or else I will lose the budget for the next weeks.

Learn and manage, gamble what you afford to lose.

There's no specific amount that we can make a standard amount to be considered as a budget for everyone, the only thing that is important is just to gamble what you can afford to lose.

0.01 BTC might be a big amount for others but small for you, so I guess as long as we are dealing with our goals in gambling, we are all good doing it with our budgeted amount. Mine will range from 0.01 to 0.1 in a daily basis.

my budget gambling every bet
this playing dice my budget every bet this range 10 - 10,000 dogecoin use marti angle
in playing sport betting my budget this 10,000 - 100,000 dogecoin

Is it called so, and have you ever done so ?
Have you tried to give gambling so much importance that you save bitcoins for it since beginning and gamble at the end of month ? I personally never did so and I m sure never I will do it too in future, though it is a nice idea for people who earn on daily basis.

never done as well because im just playing some spare btc i don't want to engage again and loses big money.

I think everybody should be a "budget" player in the sense that you should think before you start playing how much you are going to spend on gambling.

If saving daily and spending on the weekend works for you, definately go for something like that. It also helps you stay away from gambling during the week, which helps prevent you to get addicted. If you have a set rythm, it is easier to stick to it.

Budget  gambler  would be  good though because you could able     to limit yourself  to spend  even  more money  on playing gambling  . Its  much better to  put limitations  on playing rather  than on spending  your  money  too much which could  able to use  on other things.

I know how they turn small faucet amount into big chunks like 0.05 or so.
I have seen many times here that gamblers do play that small amount on high odds like 1000 x or such and just wait for that to hit, yes it takes a week to win 1 on such odds but hey they have lots of time.

Yeah and if they hits it then its a huge profits for them but it will be done once in a blue moon and to do that you need to be super lucky which is not possible at the most of the times in gambling.

Well most farm more then one site normally to improve their chances.

all gambling is definitely in need of capital. No matter which do not require capital in the gambling, so that's something that certainly will be owned by the players. But if we look from most of the gamblers, that all the things you say just an illusion or you're just looking for fame from the growth of the bitcoin. Gambling is not a suitable place for those who are less well minded

Well you don't really have to save for it, like setting aside a portion of your salary just for gambling. I gamble at times but that is only if i have money to spare that I really don't need, so I can say I am a budget gambler.

i dont spend much money to gamble so you can call me a budget gambler,i started gambling after landing here in this forum and then thought you could multiply my coins through gambling ,only problem is it is not that easy as you think and kept on losing for a while and so decided to do once in a while and mainly gamble with the amounts collected from faucets  :) is it not a great way  :D

I don't that's how it should mean, maybe the appropriate word to say is you spend within your budget and our budget can only be base on the amount we can afford to lose. Me, I have no fixed amount in gambling but I make sure I will not go beyond on my ceiling or limits. I just gamble on a daily basis ranging the amount from 0.01 to .2.

Wow, first time I heard a person saying that no need of money. I gamble when I need some fun then I will use some of my money for this entertainment purpose. But that doesn't mean that I no need of that money. It is the money reserved for entertainment purpose.

Definitely that should be the right explanation, we value the money we use in gambling therefore even if we lose it we have to ensure that we are getting the entertainment that we are looking.

I know some can do does but most of us here are not a budget gambler, we gamble without a perfect plan and we can easily be influence by our emotion especially in the event that we experience losing and that makes our loses bigger than the supposed budget amount.

Yeah haha thats a crazy thing that someone doesnt need money lol. but if we are going to dig in further he might consider it as an extra of his income. Well an extra income is still important just to say that you dont need it.

I think the best idea will to be an investment in the casino and when you win big you add it to the investment this way it will grow.
Never spend capital though only the interest accumulated for the week. This way you will never go broke.

If i am saying that i always play gambling with be-careful, because i see my pocket and if my pocket allow me than i do play gambling, otherwise i will wait for my amount which i wanna play gambling.
Actually, i always play gambling with my extra amount and my extra amount is my profit, whenever i get my profit from trading than i use it into gambling. So if i lose so letter bit i feel bad otherwise i am enjoying the every moment of gambling.

Really your pocket is the one that predicts you if you are going to gamble or not? Well that is just normal for all of us because  if we can still have something in our pocket.

We will still gamble and if we don't have enough budget already in our pocket. So I can say it is really effective you are going to be a budget gambler.

Because what I experienced is, it is giving you more profit if you will become a budget gambler.

I dont really save up some  money   for  playing gambling  on the vacant time or  on weekend  i just  usually get directly from  my pocket and  this  is somehow a disadvantage for me  because  i  end  up   on  lossing all  of  my money on that particular day. Its better  to  really put some  limits.

Something that you have to fix it as soon as possible friends!!. For if you still just doing it all without any limits or do it then I am sure in the future you will regret it all and will get a life. Just think of gambling only to seek pleasure, full of emotions and yourself, after the specified target or money to play (if out of stock or profit targets for according a mandatory stop and then resume in the next day)

that's the first thing that you should know mate placing your limits will allow you to control your possible loses
make sure also to know whether you play in the long run or its just for fun and you don't really care if you win
or not because if you play for money you should place your target amount then stop after hitting it.

Well, I believe that it should be every gambler's first rule: NEVER gamble with money you can't afford to loose and don't gamble if you can't control yourself.
Sadly, there are many people who don't follow this rule and it usually ends up badly. And that's also why, so many people think that it is dangerous to gamble. It is similar to alcohol. As long as you are responsible it's okay.

Yeah, of course, Pocket mean which amount you can afford it easily, and use it any where, Than the best way to use it only gambling, i always ready to play it, but if i can't because i have no enough extra amount to use in it.Now you can call me i am budget gambler.
Otherwise, now i have near about 12 BTC, but i save it, because it is my holding amount, and i also do trading and trading help me to play the gambling, because it give me a money to play it.   

It is so true, limiting your bet is called smart gambling and it should be implemented for every gambling, by limiting your bet you are saving yourself from bankruptcy, so gamble with responsible, dont gamble with the amount that you can't afford to lose

True.. this is what I do when I do gambling. It's safe and smart way to play. But I don't think all people who gambles or even gamblers will do such the same thing.. because each of us have a different way of method and thinking towards gambling.

Usually i didn't budget for playing gambling every weeks because not every weeks i got profit from trading altcoins, i just played gambling if i have got profit and That is just for small amount of bitcoins and i don't play gambling every weeks.

Well, I wish you will be successful of limiting yourself in gambling as there are gamblers who cannot follow the game plan especially when under the stress of gambling. By limiting our bets, we will be able to enjoy gambling because when we lose today we can still gamble for tomorrow.

I guess that method would test how discipline are you in gambling.

Yes I am a budget gamble. Not only is it common sense but necessarily, in my opinion.  When I gamble, I set aside an amount of money that I can afford to lose. Sometimes gambling can be distracting that you won’t notice that you’re gambling all your money so it’s only sensible that one should have a budget when one started playing. In my experience, when I bet before. I only have the money I have in my pocket and I even don’t want to use them all. I set a budget just to try to gamble and I lose. On the second time, I also set up a budget because I was there just to try it again. I lose again. It hurts because I lose money but I am happy as well that I follow my budget.

That is a good strategy, at least you can control your emotions whatever the outcome whether you lost or win.It is good that you are using money that you can afford to lose,which means no regrets whatever happens.When you play,its better that you enjoy the game,no pressure and less hassle.

That means spending all your profit from trading for gambling habit then it should be fine because of your not spending lot of money. But you should also consider not to gamble all those profit money because as we all know in gambling we can't make money so if you lose all your trading profits in gambling then at the end your not making any profits.

this is what i have been doing all along. not setting apart something for the sole purpose of gambling but generally i have been setting some part of my bitcoin earnings for spending purposes like buying a game online or gambling. and i have been happy with the way things work out for me. i have made some profits on this amount also so it is not all bad and after a while you don't need to put aside something if you make profit.

For me i would just save around 50k satoshi in fiat value today. I live in asia so the value of us dollar in my country is almost double. I can't afford increasing it up to 1$ because i already lose much from gambling and i already learned my lesson from it.

Yes, I am a budget gambler. When I have extra btc in my wallet,
and I have extra btc to use for investment. I do play in gambling
site. Definitely, I spend my btc well, investment first, followed by
gambling. As a whole, I have a self control in playing gambling.

And that's really how it should be. I thinkbthe most important thing to remember when gambling is self control. Being a budget gambler would indicate that you can control your spendings.

I`m playing when I have money, and I spent how much I think I can spent. From experience I think it`s much better to be a budget gambler, as I understand what you wish to say, saving here and there some money, and only then with that money you go to casino. Better chances to make something is like that, to gather money for several months and then to try gambling with more money.
I spent few to win few, and I lose then I win but its nothing big. Better is that way that OP mentioned, maybe I need to try to do something like that, everyday gambling can be tiresome.

every week I was not sure how my face to gamble. but this week I spent a week all bitcoin I get. because I am a lot of experience defeat in this month in gambling. but not the profit that I get lost even my bitcoin. :'(

I do budget my money when it comes into gambling 0.01 or maybe 0.05 bitcoin weekly when im playing in gambling but if there any chance that i could double my bitcoin in just an hour then i withdraw all my profit and never comeback again into gambling and i will wait until 1 week past again and then play it again.

That's some kinda discipline right there, I would say I do not have that kind of discipline because if possible I will play gambling daily but of course on the games that I like an enjoy only. It's good to enjoy the game while it gives you a little profit also but most of the time I lose so I just enjoy the game to make me forget my loses and will not chase like in the past.

I didn't understand completly what you're trying to say in this post. But understood that you lost all your money in gambling, which you earned last week. Gambling is a paid entertainment so you have to spend money. If you don't want to spend money then, you should find some other free games to have fun and can save money.

I set aside a little to bet with every week. Sometimes it's the winnings from a previous week. Either way, I gamble just for entertainment and not to make money.

I also do like this, if I want to play gambling will fix one amount for the win and lose. If I reach that, the amount I will stop gambling. I am not a regular gambler, so I can control my emotions while playing gambling. I too just play gambling for my entertainment and time pass. I am not a huge budget gambler.

On this way it  would be a good way  to control yourself of being  get addicted  into  gambling. Treating gambling as  an entertainment would  be really a  big help because you would not aim for profits  therefore  you only spent a  small  amount  on it and  you would not be  broke  too much  in the end  incase you  lose all of your money  on doing gambling. Budget gambler  would  be a good  way.

I take 10% from whatever I make online for gambling and other uses , but mostly gambling
so every month I take 10% from sig campaign , affiliate revenue , gambling investment profit ... etc and gamble it during the month
