Don't go to the ATM. If you don't have the self control to not do that, then leave your bank cards at home. Go out gambling with a set amount of hard cash - if you run out of cash, and have no bank cards on you, then you have no option but to go home.

Control had been find with any people but actually we see the investors on gambling really looking to go with the good gambling site to make the money sometimes they win but sometimes they are not getting any growth with investment instead of only they loose the money only. Please avoid the greediness and panic while you invest on it.

Wow it was a good read. I liked the emotions in the story. You really want the author to succeed as he's so miserable the whole time.
I have to say that I would've given up after the blackjack part. Maybe he should quit BJ for good and play roulette. He seems to be doing much better there.
Morale of the story? Don't drink and bet! I hope he remembered to wipe the phone before he threw it into that kiosk.

usually I skip such articles or blogs , but when it comes from a well experienced gambler like you Theo then it definitely worth the time
personally I hated gambling on house games since the very first moment I read that it's impossible to beat the house , after that I started to barely gambler 200$ a month on dice and roulette

but in my area there are no live casinos , maybe this would change if I had access to live casinos but at the moment I really don't enjoy at all playing casino games online

gonna bookmark this for future just in case I managed somehow to visit a casino in the coming years ( in case I move to Germany  ;D )

Good advice mate of do not go to the casino if they know to how control theiirself playing in gambling, to avoid set the meeting place in other place without casino betting games there many place they can meet and enjoy without gambling.

I don't feel that I've been forced by my friends just to make a meeting in the gambling places because in my city, playing gambling is prohibited. so when I and my friends want to meet up, we come to the coffee shop and stay in that places for 2-3 hours. we know that for meet up in the gambling places can attract us to playing the games and it's not good for us because we cannot discuss some projects or just talk everything.

I know that playing gambling can "burn out" our money so this is why that we should not playing gambling in every day and we need to have limits in the amount of money that we want to spend and the time that we want to use for playing gambling.

I am so lucky that I am that kind of person that thinks risking my money on gambling will be worth it. I don't understand why people usually risk their money on gambling but maybe that is good, I think that is thanks to my parents because they taught me not to rely on gambling.

I hope a lot of gamblers out there read this story so they can realize how they are being desperate to earn money but the thing is it is not that important. They did not know that they are being blinded by their desperation to win a lot of money.

indeed it is a cycle of gambling and as gamblers we already know that the cycle is indeed going through and how to anticipate play wisely jangn wear emotions, and when we experience the cycle be patient because if one step you will not be able to control yourself and it will hurt you.

Even if he doesn't hold a cash there are still a way to gamble again there are alot of illegal loan out there that if you resist to payback your life is in danger the best practice is set a limit on your mind and wallet even if you lose on that day then maybe some other time its your lucky day don't work to hard on gambling if you know you are on lossing side.

I read the whole article and it is a very thrilling piece to say the least. The point where you got into an Uber and sold your phone for a fraction of its initial price was so hardcore haha. I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to collect some additional money for gambling. I would have admitted defeat, called it a night and have gone back to the hotel. I guess sometimes Lady Luck will help you out of a hard situation if you show some reckless perseverance despite the odds  ;)

That was a nice gambling story to read. The last part was the crazy part for me where he still had the guts to go all in even though he knows that's all he had left.

Also his shoes. ;) If he wore a different pair he probably won't bet on any number and walk away with $600+.

This is a good advice if casinos are far from your place if not then it won't do much for you.

Good article OP. This needs to be pinned on the gambling section lol

That is the best thing one can do. But if your self-control really gets out of control, I have been in situations where you borrow money from friends who are with you for the entertainment.

Alcohol and betting go hand in hand. If you're a big-time high roller,  you get free alcohol and other drugs while you gamble. This is not just in the movies but also in real life.

$25 for an uber ride? $50 round trip? :o How much do they charge per mile/kilometer? ??? Maybe I've been living under a rock but that sounds crazy to me.

Cool story. I didn't realize you lived in vegas or near to a place where gambling is legal enough to be savvy @ house games. Is it based on a true story or personal experience? Also how has MMA betting been going for you? I have not seen you post in any of the recent UFC threads for awhile. I've never been to Vegas but it could be cool to visit someday to gamble on MMA etc.

This is from a guest writer that had a good story to tell.

Depends on the distance and the surge charges available at that point in time. Irrelevant to the topic anyway.

It wouldn't be coo, it would be too expensive to do that. I'm not sure how the betting system works for live matches but considering OP actually went to see the match to live bet, it would be a helluva expensive trip. I mean the tickets and everything.

oh ok , thought you are the only writer for degenbet

Then get better friends. If you are in the situation where you are literally pawning whatever you have on you (like your phone) just to get in one more bet, your friends should have forcibly taken you home a long time ago. Giving someone that out of control more money to keen gambling is akin to buying drugs for an addict.

The story is real and from a guest writer. Ive been to vegas, im mostly playing craps and bac in London. Ive been doing good in German Soccer and MMA you can follow my picks at https://t.me/degensignals (https://t.me/degensignals) I will try to get back to posting in the MMA threads here too.

So many gamblers are now suffering from a big debt because of gambling, and even their own properties are involve on that addiction. Better not to gamble at all, don't chase your friends they are not the real one because if its a true friend they should not encouraged you to gamble. So many stories like this, you must really know to set limits, control yourself and make yourself busy to other things.

Definitely one heck of a night. I haven’t experienced that type of gambling where you would go drunk and just spend a lot of money just to get back and even selling your brand new phone just to get it back. I agree with the conclusion at the end of the story where you should just go home when you feel tilted and never force it.

This is what the addiction or the greediness do to you and you understand it later when the you have lost it all. If you have lose some money it is fine but don't play another to recover it because in that case you will be playing till you recover it and which may not happen always.

Even me as a reader it makes my heart beat faster, thank god my country is banned casino here so i never experienced that. I only gambling at online casino, once i busted then busted, no more deposit. Never chase your loss like that, once you lose all, no one will care.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, or something like that. How ever it is, hold to it. This story is like from some movie, or it can become movie one day.
I think it's hard to control yourself in such moments where old friends are around, a lot of alcohol, some weed, ans other things. Things gone wild and we don't even notice that moment when change comes.
Be happy because in the end you took some money back, you had great night, and learn something from this experience if you can. I never go that far, but I had crazy nights with a less tribulations and in the end I feel a bit shame for all that has been done, but I survived and after some time that becomes good story.

Probably the casino owners care because they just got money from you and is not going to feel anything about you. It's good that you still get to gamble online but wouldn't that still be in the restriction of your country or something? Good luck on your future gamblings (if you still do)

I do not have anything as bad as this when it happened but when I look back on it at hindsight I have even worse.
I had about 2.2 bitcoin lost on gambling at one sit down but it was years ago when bitcoin didn't worth this much. I felt bad than but not horribly like if it happened today.

Now, that I look back on it of course 2.2 bitcoin is horrible however I didn't know that back than. I knew bitcoin would be big tho, so I should have put that money aside instead of gambling with it.

Lol. Nothing good ever comes out of getting yourself drunk most especially when it's about money. Those would be nights that'll knock you off again when you look back the morning after. Don't combine alcohol and gambling.

Usually broke people live in this kind of situation, we cannot blame them to feel like that but its really not good for them at the end of the day. Your friends should not tolerate that kind of addiction. Don't gamble when you're drunk cause you might do things that is beyond on your control. Control that greed, know how to be more responsible to yourself.

It's a very nice read with good wording and unexpected plot twists. Also I found this ad to be pretty smart and innovative, if I may say so. Here it is. It's not everyday you can see this kind of a clickable ad:


In the story itself I enjoyed the most the main character's approach to the "Lucky numbers", which is closely related to my own view of them:


This is exactly how I think of the lucky numbers too, but ... anything can happen in a casino. Later that night, our gambler decided  to "put $40 straight up on 23" because he "was wearing some brand new Air Jordan shoes at the time and they had the number “23” on them in a lot of different places." You better read yourself about what happened next, I don't want to spoil it for you.

In the situation like this, self control is all that is needed. Don't get hooked on to something which will lead to a definite loss. Sometimes gambling is good and sometimes this will lead to a loss. So when you feel like lossing so much of your money, you have to calm yourself and say stop for a while and recover those losses.

Great story. When I was reading it I thought he wasn't going to make it. It was like from bad to worse every time until he finally won.
I'm not dedicated like him and would call it quits before that uber trip. You know that you're addicted when you wake up the next day with a hangover, no money and no phone.

Right.Self panic will only cause you more harm and even lead you to a much losses in life.Gambling is good if you know how to handle and control your emotions.But if you let your emotions all come out,i'm sure it will only make you desperate in the end.Sometimes we should let our minds first overcome with what our hearst felt.

Yeah, no kidding.  It's like if you have a drinking problem and wind up drinking more than what you withdrew from the ATM and went to a bar because that's where your friends are.  Once you realize you have a problem, self-control goes right out the window and there's no going back to normal drinking--or gambling.  I think gambling is just as bad or worse than any alcohol problem, as it drains your bank accounts faster than a bottle ever will, plus it strains relationships with family and friends to the point where they can easily be ruined.

This guy went to a casino, but I think crypto gambling is in some ways even worse.  Games can be very high-speed, and there's no one watching you.  You can gamble on your smartphone in your bathroom if you so choose.  The amount of degenerate gamblers on bitcointalk is staggering--I've read so many stories of ruin here, it's unbelievable.  These crypto dice sites have got to be making fortunes.

The problem is people do not understand how much is enough and when to stop greed is a bitch, but I believe everyone should be able to control it rather than hide behind it. I believe everything can be done in a reasonable manner and it can be healthy just what is a reasonable manner depends on person to person. I think it's high time people take responsibility for their actions.

yes, I agree with you. people still chasing their winning money without knowing that actually, they are winning much money. they never satisfied with what they can get in gambling and this makes them continue the game. it is natural since we are human and want to get bigger from something but if we don't know about the risk behind that, then they need to be prepared to get what they did.

the principle of playing gambling if you do not want this bad thing to happen it must be done, the defeat that continues to be overwritten should be terminated by stopping whether you will stop for a moment or forever it helped you, a very good article.

Really well written article, got my interest right till the end.
What I don't understand is that he bets big parts of his bankroll in single bets.

I mean he started with 500 dollars the first time and places more than 50 dollars on his first bet, playing blackjack.


No wonder he's always going back to the ATM, when he hardly has any play time due to his large bet sizes.

Actually more people really seeks for better lucky winnings, and that expectations always frustrates. You won't even control them in a sense that betting has no satisfaction over their addictions. Generally it made a person more binded on their habits, rather than quitting from the current attitude. It became a personality if you can't control yourself, because the disease is not just physical but also includes emotional.

There is a saying in my local language that says "that show me your friends and i will show you your character" and i believe that it goes perfectly with what you are implying because if you friends are always at the casino gambling then it will eventually become your place of socializing and whiles you all meet there, you are going to end up gambling there because that's what you go there to do.

This is why addiction is a problem. When people are addicted, they have no control of themselves. All rational thought goes out of the door. I don't think that it's natural or human nature to continuously seek for pleasure. That's the problem with pleasure seekers -- it's like nothing ever satisfies them anymore. The law of marginal utility should be applicable however with people suffering addiction it seems like there's no end to it. It only worsens as these people seek to satisfy their thirst for pleasure.

Even if the primary intention is  not gamble but the meeting place suggest to gamble they will all end up gambling. I know the habit of meeting or hanging around to the most convenient place that your pack usually hang around, and it will always entice everyone to engage what the place have offer the customers. Specially in gambling where self-control is the main issue. Sometimes having friends in the casino is a financial draining moment of your life, most specially if youre not married lol.

Absolutely. If you are a gambling addict trying to kick your addiction, then why on Earth would you agree to meet friends in a casino? You wouldn't invite a recovering alcoholic to a bar - why is this any different?

Exactly we all have heard of this statement too, a man is known by the company he keeps. And literally this is exactly right in case of gambling. When your friends ask you to company them in casino and you aren’t actually playing. But you may be get impressed by the way house is letting them play and then you start trying your own luck. First wins and then a row of defeats.

You also love the NFL, I reckon? I am a casual football fan and I would like to listen to more of your game analysis and why you make your bets every week in the NFL betting thread. Thank you.

Humans are greedy and this is natural but don’t let this greed start eating you up. Most of the cases with gamblers, they start invading in this game so deep that their comeback is somehow hard and stiff. They can’t let theory mind come out of this trauma. So don’t be like it and start thinking about your families and relatives and blood relations who are caring about you.

Drunk + pissed + losing streak + ATM is not a good combination when you are in a casino. The chance of losing a lot of money is very high since you are drunk, your decision making is messed up and that is on top of the losing streak. To control the amount of money you spend in gambling, you just bring only the amount of money you plan to spend. Leave the ATM card at home. If it's possible go to the casino using a cab, much better, there are loan sharks waiting around the casino who accepts cars as collateral for those who wants to win back their money.

This is only applies to gambling games that requires decision making such as poker. But games like dice games, and roulette, this doesn't apply. Sober or not, you have the same chances of winning which is pretty low. With the same logic, being sober and going to the casino will make you millions.

How about writing cheques?

As well as jewelry like earrings, rings, and watches. Bring just yourself.

I really wouldn't go to the casino using a cab because what if you win instead? Will you really risk being in a car with a stranger while holding a lot of money. I really think that if you are at that point that you're ready to sell your car just to continue gambling, you're far deep down the gambling rabbit hole. None of these advice will help since you're ready to sell something that is very useful to you and is a necessity in your daily life. But I guess we never really know what can happen in the casino that'll push you to your limits. :)

This is the worst combinations you'd want to be in before going to or when in a casino. For sure, you're going to lose and being drunk also makes the situation a whole lot worse because you could even bet what you don't even have. Very dangerous and highly not recommended. Good eye opener.

yeah it would be better if he didnt got tilted about his loss, since he is drunk he wouldn't be able to control himself good thing he put a limit on his atm, overall he was up after everything what happen but that was really dangerous.

In gambling controlling our selves is very important because we will lose everything if we didn’t. Try to set up everything especially about your money you need to do it in order to not lose everything.

To avoid drinking while gambling should be one of the first rules for any gambler whether you are a professional or you are looking to have some fun, why do you think that physical casinos gives free drinks to the players that are betting a lot of money regardless if they are winning or losing? Because they want you to bet in a more reckless way and to bet more money since it is known that alcohol takes away inhibitions from people, another important thing is to never carry anything valuable with you like credit cards or jewelry since you could try to use them to keep playing or it could simply be stolen from you if you are not careful.

This story didn't begin well. Maybe no spot for a car was a good sign not to go there. The real mistake imo was to go to the atm when you lost everything you planned to lose. The day was just really unlucky with all those Jacks, zeros and nines you mentioned. Even if you are a good player, you can't make sure such things don't ruin the game.
You got extremely lucky in the end, though, and your article looks as if you learned the lesson. Good for you that you can analyze what's happening and managed to return the money eventually, while still regretting the overall experience.

Wow, that's quite a story! I've made some new conclusions in relation to gambling. First: you shouldn't be superstitious when your money is on, that what really can make you lose money. Once I was crazy about number 3 so I did everything for three times in dice (don't mean just betting, a whole set of bets with particular numbers) hoping that for the third time I'll win. It didn't last for long, however made me lose some money. Second: you should never ever go beyond planned expenditure amounts for a day. Selling phone - sounds crazy, but not as crazy as a fact that gamblers can go as far as selling their apartments and borrowing money. And the last but not least: if you are hazardous and going out for a play you need to hire an authorised delegate to control your expenses. 

What you said about being superstitious regarding the number 3, that's called gamblers fallacy.
You start believing that you're owed a win on that number, while in reality it's entirely possible that that number never hits when you're playing.

Never try to see patterns in the numbers that are hit on the board. That really messes a lot of people up.

Dice is probably fair so mixing it with your own superstition belief with leave you with nothing on your play wallet.  :D

There are some cases tho that your intuition is right and the next roll you get is correct.
I still believe that winning a gamble is a mixture of good luck and math.



That is an example of a bad case of gambling addiction. NO one in the right would even think of selling their apartment just to have the money to gamble with. Those are the cases were the gambler needs psychological intervention. Borrowing money on the other hand is much more common than you think. I've seen people borrowing money directly in a gambling site chatbox, asking/begging for someone to lend them some money.

that is why it is  better to gamble in sports betting where winning is small but in long term ROI you will be in good profit. I have lost lot of my wealth when was playing casino and dice but thank god I joined sports betting and almost recovered my loss

How the income is profitable in the long run when you sportsBet? You literally are playing a predictable dice game and of course your knowledge of a particular sports matter but there are equal risks. I'm glad you have recovered your losses but you were playing with the equal amount of risks as you did while playing dice.

Well for those cases you really needed a sort of exterior help for controlling yourself  ::)

Sports betting is still gambling in the end, and if you mismanage your bets there is still the chance of losing your money, but it is definitely different from traditional gambling where probabilities are precalculated and the games have built in house edge so you're guaranteed to lose in the long run. As with all gambling, betting has lots of risk involved, but correct management of funds and not gambling what you can't afford to lose could net you a profit. I personally like to invest my crypto and lend for long-term gains as it's safer than betting, however.

Good read mate. And this is really happening out there to many people who got buddies that are degenerate gamblers as well. But as we all know, if we'll gonna learn something from life, that is you need to learn things first by your OWN experience for you to really ponder what's the lesson that you really need to learn. You need to experience utter defeat and loss to value your money more. Thanks for sharing the very important experience that you have as a gambler and hopefully, many will get something out of it.  ;)

The essence of reading is to learned and use it as basis, though own experiences is far differ from what we read, as we can easily say that it can never happen as we won't allow it, but the reality is we can't avoid it if you are already in this situations, nice share mate for more inexperience gamblers
should learn from this thread.

Lol, talk about tripple yathzee. Drunk, pissed, losing :D You can't get any worse than that, you really can't. I think anytime you mix gambling with drinking the results will not be good at all. I know they serve free drinks at casinos but obviously as we all know that is because they want you drunk so you lose more and don't care until next morning.

Casinos are designed perfectly for you to get loss inside and make it harder to leave the casino itself so you would spend an extra couple bucks before you leave. The colors, the no windows, the entertainment all of that just so you can spend a bit more time. Don't fall for that and don't drink when you are gambling.

Feeling of "not enough" is the crying out of greed. If you start listening to that then probably you will start collapsing your own plans of gambling. Limiting ourselves will be possible only when we have no room for emotions. If we start deviating from that then disaster may happen at any moments. Not just sometimes, always enough is enough with respect to gambling. Because at least that way, we may leave off some of our hard earned money unspent.

I think you don't know about sports betting as it needs calculation analysis and some old research and you can predict a bet on it. But in dice you are totally playing on luck. If you bet equally amount of value bet in each bet then you're loss chances are less and profit will be high.

Very practical suggestion. A friend of mine does the same when they got to shopping with his wife. He leaves the cards at home and carries cash only. Cash is still very much common here and thus he can pay for thing easily. But if he is going to take his cards with him, his bank balance might be emptied completely. So this keeps check on his wife.

Now in case of gambling, it is you who has to keep check on yourself which is much harder. So the same technique can be handy.

I'm glad to have a responsible woman that knows how much money we can spend and doesn't go crazy with shopping. Being with a lady that doesn't stop spending is like having a dog that occasionally bites you, but you keep it because most of the time he's good and protects the house.
If you have to constantly remember to take cash instead of cards or set limits, maybe it's better not go near a casino at all?:D

Yes i guess bringing hard cash whenever you go for shopping or gambling is the best thing to do than bringing your debit cards i guess.You will not spend across from your budget and you will not make any troubles too from your savings cards.

Yes, sports betting is also gambling but some people don't really know that. However,  gambling and trading have almost the same rules and fever cause they both require stay calm, less emotion and learning to keep greed, hope and fear under control.

Wow, I never thought someone would say that. That is obvious, sports gambling is a gambling. As long as you are risking you are risking something, that can be considered as a type of gambling.

Gambling and trading is not the same and it don't really have a rule as you've said. Most of the gamblers I know can't stay calm on a casino, winning is what they want, they will definitely be happy with it. Less emotions happen only on games like Poker but most of the gambling games? Not really. Greed? Most of the gamblers want to keep it but they can't, traders is not really greedy, they are doing it because it will be the way to generate a profit. Hope is not be considered in gambling since that will just keep on them to gamble their money and fear, I guess that also applies on traders but gamblers must not control their fear so they can just fear the loss and the effects that gambling can give them.

Well it’s just how it is here. We need to point out on something obvious but definitely just common sense. I think it has a different approach with trading and gambling. And people should treat it differently because if you dont, you are just going to do things rash and may not result well. We all have to take risks in order to move.

Everything that involves risk doesn't mean that it is likely gambling. Risk in involved everywhere in our lives, if it is any of the financial activity any other activity. The simple and easy example of risk in our life is that almost everyone need to travel on a daily basis which involves the risk of accident to loose life or serious damage to our body but still a lot of people ignore that risk factor and go for travelling.
So, is the case with the trading but it doesn't mean that involvement of risk makes it gambling. IN case of gambling and betting everyone knows that is a distracting activity.

Some gamblers just really need to watch "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" movie to see what borrowing can lead to. Long story short if you haven't seen that one - a guy who was really good at poker borrowed money from all of his friends and some gangsters too and lost the game (the main problem was that he was kinda good at reading people's faces and so he usually knew what cards they had on hands, but this time his opponent was cheating). Eventually, not only he has set up all his friends and owed LOTS OF MONEY to gangsters, but he was also threatened that if he doesn't return his debt he and his friends will be killed.  :D
I don't know how realistic this situation is, but every gambler just have to keep in mind that owing someone may end up very bad, so it's better to be left with nothing.

Is that movie really about gambling? ::)

That's just a dramatic movie man and not a real-life scenario! There are no "thugs" to extort money out here, you simply come crawling to the house to try your luck! No one forces you to bet or no one threatens you from taking home the winnings.

Yeah, control can be very hard to sustain especially on one of those messed up nights when a gambler drinks as well. Rather not to go to any casino on those nights. Occasionally it can be OK bachelorette party for instance, but regularly it is very against the odds

It's a great story, but OP need to have a better control when gamble, many people become bankrupt because they were consume by greed and anger, and keep on curious to win back the money,it's very lucky that this story got a happy ending, not all of the gambler story is as lucky as OP , usually when you lose then your bad luck will continue

Its hard to say that, specially if you are already addicted even you reach your limit you will keep going on until you didnt notice that youve lose lots of money already. For those new at gambling make sure you know your limitation to avoid addiction like op said at the title of this thread enough is enough.

Janation and Nidacoinlove, I understand your point but I want you to know that I pretty know what I'm saying when I said trading and gamble are the same because they both have to do with risk. However, have you ever googling the mean of gamble ? "take risky action in the hope of a desired result."

How is trading not greedy ?
How does traders don't have to greed the gamblers have ?
I mean I feel like its just the opposite if you ask me. If you are gambling yes there are people who want to earn money from gambling however a lot of people like me who gamble just for the entertainment value, just like it was some game to play on your PC.

Nevertheless, the main point of trading is earning money, you do not trade to lose money or have fun, you can gamble for entertainment but you can't trade for entertainment. If you are a gambler and addicted than you can be right but the whole purpose of trading is greed, gambling on the other hand can be just some fun experience.

This is an excellent idea to keep check and balance of the amount spend on Gambling. Since Gambling is sort of emotional game, sometimes one does not stop in case of certain profit or loss and keep on going further which can give loss.






Still applying equally of both the teams in sports be isn' t going to help much because at one side you will Win but at the other side you will lose and eventually the profit will be neglected by the loss.

If you are a gambler, controlling yourself is easier said than done. You will leave your ATM card at home and bring only certain amount to gamble but if you lose you go home and get that ATM card and go back to gamble hoping that you will regain that lost money only to lose more. Have experienced this kind of scenario, self control is very hard when you know that you still have money back home.

Going with friends is bad. I sometimes gamble all my money and I take loans from them without even being sure I would be able to repay them :(

True, once we become a gambler, it'll be hard to stop it right away. But by bringing only small part of our money while we gamble, at least we still have time to think whether we want to risk the other money or not. The decision may differ from each person.

Trading does not necessarily means that you are a greedy, greed means an excessive desire for something way above your needs, if you invest or trade then it is obvious you want to earn money since no one does it in order to lose, but there are differences, those that invest in icos expecting a return of 100 times their investment are greedy but those that invest in bitcoin and are willing to hold for the long term and expect moderate profits cannot be said to be greedy they are just smart and solid investors and nothing more.

Also trading and investing can be done for fun as well, while it is obvious the main objective is to make money that does not mean that you cannot have fun with it, for example my main investment is in bitcoin and since I invested the price of bitcoin has gone up in a significant way so I am really happy for that situation despite the current bear market in which we find ourselves to be in.

I wouldn’t call that a “gambler”, rather a “problem gambler”. Most casino users are gamblers and don’t go so far.

In gambling you lose, you win some. If you lose, you can try to win again, but never risk yourself just for the sake of money. Never risk everything if you just want to win a small amount of profit that will need your entire life time savings. Always think for your future, you cannot depend yourself in gambling if you are careless, because you might end up with nothing. Think of gambling as a past time ONLY not your job.

But still it is a gambler no matter what would be the suffex or prefix. If you are into gambling, chances are you will be facing monetary problem in the future thus causing you to gamble more hoping that it would solve that problem.

This is the difference with a gambler yet each one of them do have specific level of addiction which either can lead into decisions that is already severed or coming to a point where you arent convinced on the amount you have lost on playing gambling and besides if a certain person do knows that he do still have money left and theres a nearby ATM then the temptation or the provoking feeling would really always arise into those moments.
This is why dont bring out your card and only tend to bring money which is only allocated for such plays and dont tend to go further and call it a day once you all lost those money.

That's being the worst mindset of playing dude. It is not bad to go with your friends if you have limit in yourself bringing it on gambling. In the scene where you find that you don't have money left it was enough. Bring the money you will spend on gambling thats it but if you have no money then, its better not to go with them than making a loan with you in yourself is pity not sure if you can pay them.

It is not right to blame others for our faults. It all depends on individuals because even though you don't go with your friends but you may go back to gambling again next day if your addicted to those games or want to make an easy and fast money from these games. So in gambling self-control is very important to avoid big losses. Once you know your responsibility then you know how much you can spend on these entertaining games otherwise you may through all your earned money on these games and blame to either your friends or someone who has given you money after the losses.

When  you are in gambling world you must know that when you gamble you need to know the limitation of all...the time to stop either losing or winning the game at all at the fist place you need to know what it is.because you cannot know the time so that when you are winning dont be greedy to win it all because thier are possibilities that you may lose. You need to stop even you dont had a huge profit.

It will still depends on the gambler, because no matter where his bank cards is, if he is really into gambling, he will do anything just to fulfill his desires. It is hard to control if it became you habit, what I mean is a gambler who is addicted on gambling will never be satisfied until he makes profits out of his capital, but most of the time and we all know that we are always losing, it is hard to predict what is going to happen next after we make a bet, it is just either we win or lose.

Enough is enough is so easy to say, we are going to stop for a minute and going to think that we made a mistake that is why we lost our money, but suddenly after some hours of starring in emptiness, we will get our motivation back to give it a try and gamble again which is a nonsense for me, what is the point of trying again if we already give it a try a hundred or thousands and yet we still lose.

If I have accomplish my winning goal, it is enough for me. Don't need to risk anymore, if you have given a luck to win then it is enough, don't be a greedy it will make you lose all your money

That's why self control become so important so make sure that you already realize the risk of gambling.
Sometimes people already aware but the greed overcome the reality so that's why some people feel regret after experience major losses !
It's human nature but we can prevent it anyway !

Not everyone think this way else it would have being a different ball game all together. As some money you win it you feel you can make more money and will bet more and may be luck will not be on your side always and you will end up losing those money too.

What if you don't reach your winning goal? Will you continue to play to fulfill your goals or do you have loss limit too? The most difficult thing in gambling is to stop when we are in an unfavorable situation aka in a lossing streaks. So, placing up and down limits may be good practice to do.

That is great if you have won such amazingly and now you consider it important to make a full stop at some point. But believe me if you counter this law and implement it in other sensible ways of earning, you could even do better. Your life can be saved, and you may be living such drastic life. Why to be still on line that can define you win or loss at single movement.

When a gambler is successful in achieving his dream goals how we can expect them to stop their gambling activities ? I guess when you are successful with your gambling then there will be no need to stop. Yes, stopping is important only for the gamblers who are deliberately seeking their winning strategies. In other sense, it means your goals do not need to be materialistic, you may seek anything from gambling which could be sometimes a feel of satisfaction like watching a fifa world cup final.

Enough is emphasized to the people who are all not finding what they seek from the gambling. When you are good at anything then you may continue with them without any secondary thoughts. But, good in the sense you must spend for your gambling with limits, again this term limit includes here, affordable level of spending.

Spending unlimited and declaring themselves as a successful gambler is not making any sense. When everything with control and finding some good feel out of gambling not need any stop points. It may sound too complicated with many exceptions and inclusion of condition then gambling for free and only in limited hours is highly recommended way of gambling.

Leaving gambling will be very difficult if you are still at the gambling table and again you are in a winning position, different from online gambling. Even though you have reached your goal in gambling, but in gambling your emotions will change and be difficult to control. But if you have a strong personality and are not easily affected, then chances are you can control your emotions well.

but if the lust is high and the feeling of wanting to win gambling with the last bet I am sure that the loan will always be done if pressed. maybe I think it's useless to save an ATM because someone who is addicted to gambling whatever property or assets will definitely be all beted

You cannot say lust together with gambling because lust is a different kind of thing. It’s for sexual desire and you don’t get that with gambling. Except if the players you are with are sexy. If you go to the ATM, you should not go to it for gambling, just necessities. That is that.

it is better to do this so we can leave the games and we can prevent to become an addicting person in gambling. besides that, we can get the winning money and if we want to make another winning, then we can come back on other days. but still, it is not good if we decide to continue the games because we don't know what will happen later and we don't know if we still have a luck to win another round. so I agree when we say that enough is enough and we can get out of the place.

Realizing the process of how becoming addicted to gambling may enforce the rule of "enough is enough". But, gambling never let you to free minded to realize that fact. It is a rush of blind emotions which will make your knowledge and experience to zero and you will get into gambling like a noob and will get addicted more quicker than you could imagine. Yes, when we are not limiting the dangers of gambling are faster than anything.

Getting out of gambling by deviating our interests will become a possible when only your mind not following your emotions. But, gambling will boost your emotions to suppress your mind and the final result is obvious as we have seen why most knowledgeable people also becoming addicted gambling in more quicker time. "Enough" should be a first priority for all gamblers so that they will able to control themselves all the times.

There are some time where lust is accompanied by gambling. There is that one time when my friend is gambling and showing off in the casino with this girl betting good amounts, luckily he is winning that time and then just got off with that girl.

There are a lot of things that can affect your gambling and one of them is really lust and greed obviously.

Definitely, gambling is something like addiction so when we haven't a self control therefore it is much advisable to don't ever go to any casino so it is the better way to avoid from any losses that we can possibly experienced in gambling. It is given that we also has a chances to win and absolutely that was a great for us but in the other part of it is we can also loose and the worst scenarios that is possibility to happened is when we can't control ourselves and loose all our money and properties because of it so no more no less as long as we can it is much better that we don't ever try it for our good sake.

You have a good advice mate because playing with an access to your resources means unlimited betting,but the problem is the addiction that if they loss they will go home still and get that atm cards to return playing,maybe the best answer here is self control and if you dont have this then never enter gambling

But the fact is those limits they have set are being broke whenever they are lossing. They don't care about the limit and just continue. All they want is to win it back. Even in win actually, if you feel overwhelmed. You're going to think that you can do it continuously.

Gambling with moderation can be a difficult thing to do, I think that most of us has experimented a time when we gambled more money than what we originally wanted, that is natural, but at the same time we can limit the opportunities for that to happen, the problem is that people do not do that until it is too late.

I remember that in one instance a friend wanted to gamble at the casino after getting his payment and I told him that it was a terrible idea that he should just go straight home and gamble another day when he did not had so much money available, he did not listened to me and the next day he told me he lost it all at the casino, it was a very expensive lesson for him to learn and he got a lot of problems for a long time because of it but at the end he learned his lesson.

This is the reason this people are losing everything they had. They never ever follow good steps that leads them to success. Rather they join such worst areas and work fields that ruins their lives. Like you have said, the gamblers don’t understand that under their greed period they are totally getting under debt. This line going to increase, and it keeps on increasing and they become big debtor.

Enough Is enough if you lose and you didn't control yourself it will affect you a lot you will be addicted for gambling and don't let yourself like that .

Nice strategy, but there are persistent people who would go back home and take their bank cards and then go back to casinos. They really make me laugh as well as I feel sorry for them because they have reached a certain point of addiction, and it can never, or let's say, it is hard for them to go back to their normal life. What they really need is a strong willpower and strong determination. Without these two, they will do anything to play again.

Gambling can change your life in an instant, who would not want to be rich instantly right? If that is the case, why would they not gamble right? Most of the people these days wants to be rich instantly but in the reality, they can't do a thing to make themselves rich. They are hoping to win lotteries, betting their money on sports and testing their luck out on casinos in which rich people don't risk their money on luck, they risk their money on something that can give them profit and not hoping for luck.

It is not very easy to put a limit to yourself once you have played few bets, especially in case of winning most of them. Gambling has an addictive nature because it provides pleasure with a chance of making money without actually doing any work. Taking this game lightly can be a big mistake.We can never realize our addiction level until we try to give up on it.

All those fellows who are saying limiting yourself always works out, why they don’t see the results that people have shown. And if we consider it for some time, then why people have never earned a lot of money from gambling then? Along with limiting themselves in a circle, still they end up with a petty life and a miserable life style that took them to roads. You need to think over it.

In fact I can understand their feelings and thoughts, because I am also an addicted gambler. Very honestly I also lost a lot money in my life while playing gambling. For every time when I lost my money I feel guilty and decided not to play gambling again, but for every time I forget my previous lost and continue gambling.

Do not ever play all your money and just set some amount on playing gambling so that you can't lose all your money. On the other hand, do not be addicted on playing gambling and just play for fun and you should controlled yourself especially your emotion. If you do not want to lose a lot of money you should start to quit now and played gambling.

Selling the iphone was insane. The writer is lucky they didn't end up in the hole. I can't imagine myself doing this. Also, this is where I doubt the authenticity of the story.

How did the author get an uber back to the casino without an iphone?

But seriously, I view going to the casino as very expensive entertainment and that's why I wouldn't bet everything all at once like the author.

It's normal since human is greedy creature.

The different between teen gambler and mature gambler are their emotion when they loss.
Teenager often got piss when they loss meanwhile mature gambler able control their emotion since they able control their emotion rationally !

Not really a new thing because greed will always be accompanied with lust since you do have the money then you do have that affection which can attract girls along the way not only on a casino but on all sorts of place when they do know that you do have that money. We do all know how this real world works when it comes to those persons who are in need of money. Going back to the topic,you would really come to a point into a situation where gambling do put you in big trouble because you do let yourself fall into the pit of addiction without thinking back on what would be the possible things might happen ahead.

Age has nothing to do with your emotion control especially while gambling, i know some teen gamblers who are very clever when gambling as they play to win and make money not for the joy of gambling itself.
Either way , self-control is mandatory and a thing you should develop over years to keep yourself away from losing everything.

right, do not be too engrossed in playing gambling by issuing capital beyond our ability, before going to gambling you should be able to manage the finances you have to spend, if you always experience defeat do not try to add the capital you will spend because it can create emotions we are out of control and result in so much defeat

Right, you have to know your limits, you have to know when you will stop because you already reached your limits and can't afford to gamble for more, if you are going beyond that, then expect that things shouldn't be easy for you, you'll get debt every where because of your addiction in gambling which is clearly not going anywhere, you are just addicted, you don't think clearly anymore, all that is in your mind is you have to bet or else you'll die.

Knowing your limits is a good thing, but sometimes its hard to execute specially if you are almost reaching your limits and at the same time wanted to recoup. So its really important to take control of your brain because we all know that almost all gamblers decision making are clouded when everything is not going on our way.

Sports gambling are not easy to play just like dice or slide gambling. Here in sports gambling we not only depend on our luck but we need to have good study about the teams their player, and to make a good strategy for playing sports gambling.

It's actually easy to do. You can just bet blindly and let the luck do the work but that's very similar to just playing in dice. The advantage of doing sports betting is that you can do the research ahead of time and be able to determine which team is better than the other. On the other hand, things are still undecided and sometimes even an obvious win can be a surprising loss. Luck still functions in sports betting.
The thing with us, humans, is that we're so good at planning but at the time that we actually have to execute our plans, that's where the problem seems to arise. In order to fix this, you're going to need to learn how to discipline yourself. I recommend checking out subreddits /r/SelfDiscipline (https://www.reddit.com/r/SelfDiscipline/) and /r/getdisciplined (https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/). Sort it by "Top" posts and then choose "All time" so you can see the posts with the most upvotes. They are often a compilation of good articles about getting disciplined. They can also be posts where OP is merely sharing their experience about discipline. It's definitely worth checking out because it's a community. You are trying to be disciplined with other people that are helping each other out. It's said that it's easier to fight your demons if you fight it together with the help of other people fighting the same battle.

I'm pretty sure that there are posts about gambling in that subreddit as well which can totally help you control yourself when you've already reached your daily limit for your gambling habit.

I agree.Setting up limitations for yourself when you go gambling is the best thing to do to avoid huge losses or debts at the end of the day.So if you think that you've had enough already,then don't go beyond that or else you will suffer from its consequences.

This is exactly what I do with gambling- I go out with a set amount of money and nothing else, so I can't possibly spend too much. I have good self-control besides that, and I've never gambled more than I could ever afford to lose.

The subreddits Fatanut listed are good, and I've personally browsed the latter one (r/getdisciplined (https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/)), but if you're having a hard time reading the articles, there is an option to switch to old Reddit in the top right. Nobody I know likes the new interface as it's slightly more difficult to skim and read, and it's also slightly more demanding on your CPU than the old interface.

I have heard a lot of stories like that. So many people have lost everything they had. Their money, their properties, their cars, mobiles etc everything they owned. But still most of these people still continue and cannot get any lesion from their previous lost. Even some people ruined their life. They always argued that they can win a big money if they will get another chance.

Better like that, we bet the amount of money we have and do not need to carry an ATM, because that will make it difficult for us to stop and maybe our money will run out. If we only bring some money, if we lose there is no choice but to go home, it's a better choice than we have to go to the ATM and spend our money.

Well i think most people do set up limits for themselves when they gamble. It's just that when you're in the moment, not everyone is capable of getting a hold of themselves. Sometimes they even need help from other people to restrain them.

Well base on my experience I always limit my self,  I must stop if I know that its not helping me and if it is too much. But in one situation I give 3 chances to change but unfortunately it didn't change the fact that it is really not good for me. So after that moment,  I divert my attention,  focus on my studies and strive more for me to become successfful.

If a person has the self discipline in life then everything becomes easy as they can control their emotion and greed. Greed is the biggest factor that drives in gambling and this can actually make you poor if you keep on playing it.

Apparently, greed is too difficult to control, especially when we are at gambling places. With so many people getting bad results because of gambling, it is proof that greed is a frightening specter. Even though someone is able to control himself until now, but it is possible to get out of control at a later time.

Too few people actually do this, they tend to go out with the credit card and end up spending a lot more than they can afford to. Anybody who thinks they might have a problem with gambling should definitely leave the card at home.

Yeah in my opinion it is very important to fix a gambling limit for yourself and never cross that limit. Continuous gambling will ruin your life and even the lives of your family, because the end of gambling is always in loss. Gamblers never take money back to their homes. They always lose all their money and the reason is continuous gambling. Gambling time is also necessary.

I will call that thing to know that sometimes enough is enough and we don't chase the winning money as we know that is very difficult to get. We don't know when enough is enough and if we continue to play, then there will be a big chance to lose more money and in the end, gambling can ruin your life which we don't want to get this. By controlling ourselves, we don't have to save our money, but we also protect our lives, and we go back to our home without any feeling.

Yeah you right, I've often said that to play gambling requires the allocation of special funds in accordance with your ability to accept defeat so that threats such as capital run-out, or becoming addicts will not have a big impact on your finances later, because you already manage your own finances with funds allocation the right one for gambling

I think to able to control yourself is also a important point too. So, everytime you lose on gambling, you can hold yourself to not deposit more on gambling.

To do that, we have to be responsible in all of the things we are doing in our lives, we are adults, so we have to think carefully before making any stupid decision like depositing after losing in gambling, if you are a teenager and you playing gambling, then that would be a very inappropriate move for you, you should focus on your study than in gambling, that way, you could be more productive and it is worthy of your time.

Knowing your capabilities in gambling is important, if you are not winning then quit, but if you are winning and just losing sometimes, then continue. Just be wise on decision making and not let your anger devour you.

If you feel fear about the gambling then why you guys wanna go with the gambling with the set limit or something. There is no need to go with the gambling for making money.
I really do know the jackpot if they wanna to earn money on gambling.
This will be go further on investing with the other ways apart from gambling.

This is called gambling in a limit. When you take some money with yourself when you go to casino and think that this certain amount is for gambling and you have no more money for gambling and also decide that this time you will back to home then you will never go in debts and will enjoy your time with your friends and family. One should never think that he can make money in gambling.

Is that supposed to be a good thing? At the end of the day, you still lost your money by gambling and you can never take that away. You could have used that money for something else, maybe for your family. Imagine if you've bought pizza with that money instead, your family could have had a better night and you would have had way more fun. People in here want to hype up the idea of having fun in gambling when they could have been hyping up the idea of having fun with minimal cost.

I just can never see gambling as something that you can do and feel great about it. There's just always this feeling that you simply burned your money and didn't have fun at all. You could have done something like going to the gym, hiring a personal coach, and sweating a lot. Your brain releases dopamine during exercise as well. You also have spent lesser money and you'd even achieve a better body.

To protect yourself from big loss you should fix a limit for your gambling. Too much gambling creates many difficulties in life. You will be depressed every time and will feel bad all the time. Try to quit gambling as soon as possible and if it is not possible then try to gamble once in a week and take small money in your pocket if you visit casino. Never gamble online.

The problem that we got here is that we are too obsessed about the things that we thought that could benefit us, for example, there is a person you know that got rich from gambling, that is why you pause and think if you could make the same fortune if you are going to engage in gambling, and that is where it could start, by simply doing the same thing of a certain person we know, we might ended up badly hurt physically or emotionally then it will cause chaos, we could be addicted to the point that we are willing to be homeless just to spoiled ourselves in gambling.

We don't have to copy those people who are good in gambling, maybe they are making profits in gambling but we don't because it is not our forte, we have to realize that we are not that kind of person, in some way maybe they were born as a gambler and we are not.

That's exactly the problem with most people when it comes to gambling, they don't know how to recognize when enough is enough and continue gambling themselves into a hole. There usually needs to be some outside influence to drag these people away from the game to save them from themselves, otherwise few people have the willpower to stop even if they do realize the problem they are facing.

Yeah its all about greed and greedy person can do anything to make money, but at the end he always in loss. When you win some money in gambling, try to leave the place or if you play online gambling, shut down your computer and do not play the same day. You will be happy for the rest of the day. Regular and addicted gamblers lose everything because of the nonstop gambling.

We can't blame those gamblers who sees gambling as their money making machine. Some gamblers sees gambling as a quick rich thing and not an activity for fun and entertainment.

If we want to gamble, we set an amount that we can afford to lose and if that money is lost then you can stop now. Don't get your money that you lost. Just walk away and bond with your family and friends.

I agree with you because it is hard to determine when enough is enough because we feel that we can win more money if we continue to play. Maybe there are only a few people that can get out from the gambling places, and they can feel satisfied for anything the result that they can get in that day. We need to learn about enough is enough in the gambling game so we can control the emotion that will always be related in the gambling game.

At least they can make their own targets such as how much time is provided for gambling or what profit targets must be obtained in one day, maybe so they can control their emotions better compared to playing gambling with greed. So if they have a target for gambling they will at least feel enough and have to stop after reaching the target. But this can also backfire if they don't reach the target easily.

I think the only target that you should have is to have a good time. Besides, we all know that you're going to lose in gambling plus we're all telling ourselves that we're not gambling for money but rather for enjoyment. The problem with having a target profit is that we keep on betting until it is reached. For most of us, it was never reached. In your first attempt of getting that profit target and losing instead, you're going to have more profit target the next time you go back. Then so on and so fourth. It's only when we realized that we've lost too much in hopes that we're getting that amount of money do we stop.


Gambling is actually a quick rich thing and not an activity for fun and entertainment. The thing though, you can quickly get rich from it but you have to be the luckiest person on Earth. Just what are the chances that it's you. It's also not fun and definitely not entertaining to see your money gone in just seconds of betting.

Leaving the gambling places after we can win some money in gambling is always be a better solution but the problem it is not easy to leave the games because every gambler is tempting to win another round. They still want to chase the money by playing one round again and then IF they can win again, then they will leave the place. But they do not realize that it just attract them to make a big loss in one shot, and they don't know this, and finally, they are still playing the game until the last money they had.

Being a gambler is definitely a risky one because we all know the attitude of some gamblers that makes them loose all of their profits and money and sometimes even their belongings if they are uncontrollable. Gambling is a risky thing if you not know how to control yourself. You must know your limits and avoid being greedy because it will lead you to bankrupt.

They actually know that. If there's anyone who knows that the most, it's the gamblers since they are the one experiencing that regularly. Gamblers assume that whatever they have in hand when they enter the casino will be gone because that's what happened before and that's what they expect to happen. Even with the win, they still have previous losses that they have to recover so they can't really afford to call it a win. That's why gamblers keep on betting even after winning a bunch of rounds. They know that they have a long way to go so they go for the jackpot and keep on betting. Honestly the best thing that you can do is to stop gambling so you can prevent getting even more losses. Learn that you have made your mistakes in the past and that you shouldn't do the same mistake again. Stop gambling.

In my opinion a well discipline man will never waste his time and money in gambling. He will concentrate on his future and his family as well, while regular gamblers do not care for their families. If you cannot live without gambling but you also care for you loved ones, then you should fix a time and bet limit for your gambling. Try to quit gambling when you reach to that limit.

If people can have a self control then it is easy for them to gamble and even stay away if the need be. But those people who do not have a control on their emotions and become greedy in life to earn the money from gambling this is issue where people starts getting addicted to it and lose the money in process.

Yes, we have seen many people losing their emotion control in gambling, and suddenly they lose their money too. In the first time they played, they can control their emotions, and they can leave the gambling places. But soon, after they play for some periods and they can win enough money, they attract deeply to the games and they still playing the game and finally, they cannot control the emotion, and this is the way for them to lose all the money.

Sometimes, we forget to think about enough is enough because we are too greedy to chase the money and only make us lose much money. Maybe if all gamblers know when they need to stop the game and realize that they have their time to play gambling then maybe they can see that enough is enough.

This is the right thing. Gambling is not good at all and if quitting is possible it will be much better, but if not then gambling in limit is mandatory to avoid bankrupted. If you follow a certain time table for your gambling you may win money because of the quitting. Those who continue gambling for long always lose their money. Win and lose and finally lose wins.

Because of gambling, we are turning into something we are. When we say gambling, there is money and money is everybody needs in order to live thier lives. In gambling, when we are winning we forgot losing that is why we just continue playing until we realize that the money we earn are all gone. If we won, then we must learn to save or to stop. We do not stop coz there is still a chance. We want to earn more. Life is not always like that.

Enough is enough is not sometimes it should be always specially in gambling you do not need to go all the way, if your capital limit is already lose or you reach your target amount of winning you should stop and make the day past and prepare for another day. We need to have self control that is a big rule in gambling to avoid addiction.

Yeah, you will loss your money in gambling, but if it's for just a recreational or a past time, then it better to be it and not get addicted to it.  Sometimes saying enough is enough will benefit the gambler because he will stop at any cost when he see some lossing streak.

Prepare for another day? Is that a wrong construction of sentence and it really means face another day without gambling or prepare for another day to gamble again? Having a self control is not that as easy as people can say it, it is so hard to be done by an addicted gambler. The best solution if you want to get rid of your addiction in gambling is to open up that you have a problem to either your family or friends. You must admit that you are so you know and you can be open to your loved ones.

When you go gambling, only bring enough money with you. Bring only those that you plan to play. Leave those plastic ATM cards at home to avoid temptation of withdrawing from machines and if online make sure its out of reach. Also leave those credit cards too, sometimes we are tempted to use the cash advance function.

The ability to actually tell yourself when enough is enough is totally based on how you see gambling. A lot of people see gambling as a way to make profit or earn some good amount of money and when reality starts kicking in and they start losing, we all know enough is enough will no longer be in such person's dictionary.

Everyone who wants to gamble should always be ready to control themselves no matter what, so as to be able to at least not get so engrossed in the gambling activity and know when to stop by placing limits.

Yeah limiting our funds would be a great idea. The problem happens when people lose control of what they do. I often do this while gambling. Keeping money which i can afford to lose always helped me not to get into rage betting.

It all boils down to discipline.  Some gamblers set aside a certain amount to gamble with and no more.  Then you have the major addicts that will gamble until they have nothing left.  They will constantly chase their losses and keep saying "just one more".  Most can gamble in a responsible manner but there are still a lot that ruined their lives over gambling.

It is good idea to limit yourself, but the best thing is being able to control yourself during the gambling.

Well if you just want to show off i wouldnt try as much as he explained at his topic.

Just because his friends going to some Casino doesnt mean he needs to forcefully start betting like crazy.

Right.Set up your limits and be sure to follow them acocordingly.You won't really make a huge loss in gambling if you know to control yourself.If you have been losing in gambling in the first place,then do not wish to play again because you will only make series of losses.Let's say you are just unlucky that day.

It does not even have to be only in gambling. The thing with enough is enough is that you have had enough of it and it is time to leave. Whether you want to leave permanently or temporarily is now then your choice but really it is a necessary thing to be able to set a limit for yourself and be sure you are able to not drift away from that limit.

If you are not able to imbibe the self-control attitude while gambling, the possibility of losing it at the end and becoming an addict becomes a certainty and that is one terrible thing to get out from which till now a lot of people who are in it, are finding it hard to get out from.

These are the major things we have to follow while we are gambling but many people will lose their intention when they are keep gambling. In the beginning, they will make money but when they start losing they were very frustrated and start investing more into it.

Maybe we should say because of the wrong mindset, a lot of people have turned themselves to what they are today. We do not need a soothsayer to tell us that anyone who thinks they can make steady earning from gambling is already on the way to a huge fire and it is just only a matter of time before they ended up getting burned.

The ability to control is one thing that is lacking in most gamblers, and that is one thing that is generally not lacking when it comes to gambling impulse. The thing with gambling is that if you are not able to control, then you get controlled, as simple as that.

Limiting ourselves is the big task for the gamblers because when they are normally risk takers they are tempted to bet more money for chasing the lost amount will results in continuous losing and in modern day casinos they can pay with digital money too even from their mobile so chance of losing more money while playing with digital money than the traditional paper money.

gambling is a place where everyone will be burned by a desire that is a victory, and a victory for today is not necessarily we win it tomorrow, that's gambling where everyone will continue to sacrifice anything to be able to follow the gamble, so if you don't want to be burned by a emotions in gambling should not have to take part in gambling activities.

Actually it is true that sometimes enough is enough. When you set limit then you must accept it,  take responsibility,  follow and apply it to your self.  Limiting our self on one thing is not a thing that is considered are kill joy but taking care our self not to experience from falling. It just when we reach it,  stop and wait for the next day. Because it will not bring any good or positive result.

I remembered last year,  I feel so uneasy when I give up one very important thing in my life,  but before that 3 years ago it happen I told my self that I will not do it again,  enough because its too much.  When time passed by when I came back,  here I am again doing the thing same situation last 4 year ago. And I regret the time I didn't follow my limit. 

Yeah, limiting yourself and having some sort of self-control are the major things that would actually help a whole lot when it comes to gambling. Anyone who cannot imbibe these major attributes will always find it hard to even realize when they have had enough, let alone, knowing when to declare to themselves enough is enough.

People who are able to control themselves, are those who just gamble for fun and never really expected much from gambling, but those who think it is an avenue for them to get rich, that mentality is something that would keep driving them to where they should not go.

Say this to the gamblers who can't control themselves in gambling. Those gamblers who will spend every money they have just to gamble. I think, before going into gambling we must know how to control ourselves in some times like for example if we are winning. Gamblers must know how to stop and call it a day but they don't that is why most gamblers are ending up losing all of their money.

So many people that have ended up losing so much in gambling today are those who are just so particular about trying to recover losses, chase winnings and so on, all in the name of not having the right mindset before even venturing into gambling. Gambling can be emotional draining if you thread on the wrong path and that is the path a lot of gamblers tend to take. Self-control is the only thing that has always helped a lot of gamblers today from losing themselves, but once you give up that self-control by not knowing when you should tell yourself it is enough, then that is the start of a huge problem.

That is how the gambling works,it will done before the gambler realizes that so they need to learn how to limit themselves while gambling and also they need to gamble for fun not for the money if they do then they will be end up ruining their life.

When there is a point comes which is the edge for you before going into debts, then you should stop and quit gambling. Every gambler should fix a limit for himself, a limit for time and money and never accede that limit. That is enough and when something is enough you should leave it in that point. Controlling yourself will save you and your family from destruction.

Agreed, they always realized after they busted. I think gamble only just for fun is good but tbh, once you lose your money in gambling, it's not fun anymore.

Online gambling has increased addiction very rapidly.  It's easier then ever to jump out of bed, go on yourlatop and place a few bets.  I have a few friends that are heavy gambling addicts and they all ended up in debt and had their lives ruined.  I'm not completely against gambling but lets not forget how dark it can be.

Well gambling is not really that bad though.It will only be bad if one person lets himself be controlled by his greed.Gambling was already here since from our ancestors time and even until now gambling is still played by some.I think gambling is just here for a short time pleasure so it should not be treated as a thing that generates income.People tend to forget its real essence and so they end up losing all their savings and even properties.

If you are Controlled by something, I think it's going to be pretty bad because you already do not do what you want or with your free will. What's important is to be composed and not be greedy, but I know it's not easy. Even if it's 50/50 chance of winning or even 90. Once the wrong bet happens, you will regret it. That's just human nature.

I lost a lot of money once; it could be added to my savings, but I just chose to gamble it. I treated it as a money making a machine where it acts for a long run, as you said, generate income and it didn't end well, or even started good, I went YOLO then boom. Lost it. Sad but lesson learned.

I have experienced that, my life is full of debt because of too much loss in real life gambling, but I don't blame gambling and I just need to reflect on it because of uncontrollable emotions and greed that happens to me that makes such an accident and not from gambling I feel. But until now I even gambled on online gambling and stopped gambling in real life. Because so far I feel online gambling is still better than real life gambling.

Teenagers are the one who are really getting targeted easily as they think they can easily make money from this and will have a good pocket money from this forgetting the future what can happen if they lose out all their money and how hard at times it is difficult to make money.

I don't think teenagers are the prime victims here. Everyone who dreams to make big money would get easily seduced by the big wins on casinos. Teenagers may lose their pocket money in gambling while addicted mature gamblers are spending their hard earned money in it.

Yeah it is better idea to take such money which you should afford if you lose. Lot of money will never let you quit gambling and continuity will take you in minus and you will lose all your money. Say enough to yourself and don’t be so smart when you are losing money. When you realize that the day is not good for you, leave the place immediately and try your luck some other day.

It usually turns out that way for those who have gotten engrossed into it and has found a soft spot for it rather than getting to do something tangible with their lives. How it starts is that, they pay so much attention to it because they believe in the potential of gambling to make them rich, as I do not believe anyone who ends up becoming an addict after going long hours daily is not someone who ended up having such a mindset of getting wealthy from gambling.

It is that mindset that actually make gamblers turn out to be who they are eventually and that is something everyone should always be cautious of, and be ready to know that this is a game of luck and being able to say enough is enough at any point in time is something they want to inculcate into their lifestyle before things end up getting out of hand.

Only becomes so dark if you allow it to.

They should not start gambling without proper knowledge though...

When ever we lose on something we always say that its enough,  I will not do it again  but  on the next day your doing it again.  Gambling is just like that losing and winning without the guarantee that you will win. 

Limiting out self on thing like that is a must so that we wl not lose a lot of money,  we can enjoy without regrets.

They have the knowledge alright if we will be talking about the gambling game, it's rules and the prize or profit they will be getting if they win but the problem is that they don't know one thing.

That one thing that is so important, their knowledge to what may happen in the near future. Gambling may be enjoying, may be entertaining but when it comes to the wasted time and money you risked for that, it will make you regret.

I agree that teenagers are not the victims but they have a big curiosity about something new and sometimes they are trying to know more deeper about that. And this can make them try to playing gambling and they can attract to the deeper side of gambling and spend more money. Sometimes they can think that enough is enough and they still playing the games until they lost the money.

Of course, everyone would be tempted to get a big win from gambling, either teenagers or adults all would expect to get a win, maybe only the way they do it is different and the capital spent will not be comparable between adolescents and adults.

There is no limit for regular gamblers in gambling and thing destroyed lots of people. They do not quit gambling and gamble till the lost penny in their pockets. They return with empty pockets. They understand that it is wrong but they still gamble because they become addicted and now it is hard for them to leave. There is no enough for them while they have money in hand.

If you told this to gamblers that they would control themselves while ambling and never accede a limit for time and money. When the limit crosses and you say enough, you can atleast save the rest of your money, no matter if you are winning or losing. When you do this you will be mentally relax and will be happy with limited gambling. Don’t panic yourself in this regard.

That’s why I don’t like online gambling and even I hate online gambling. The reason is that there is lot of scams in online gambling and they will never pay you if you win money there. Mostly students play online games for gambling and they lose their pocket money in their wallets. They are becoming addicted of gambling because online gambling provides them the facility to gambling from their bedrooms.

It is sad that people are getting hooked up to gambling so much that they want to just make money from gambling and forgetting how much addicted they can get and spoil their life if they do not get control of them self. Discipline is what is required if they have it will have a good life.

Yes. We must learn how to be enough or to treat good when we are earning. We must know that earning isn't that stable and always in ours. But we must knkw that earning good and enough is enough and do not push yourself or must not be greedy in earnings because you must learn to rest and practice to treat your earnings wisely.

Yeah you are right teenagers are addicting of gambling and this is not good for overall the whole community. Gambling is the worst thing in the world and when youngsters get in this worst field they even do not focus on their future and most of these young gamblers become criminals because they cannot do anything else without gambling to get money.

I wish some gamblers see gambling as a short time pleasure only but unfortunately, there are some gamblers who are getting addicted into it that they see this as a source of income (quick rich). I agree that gambling is there already for a long time. What is wrong with gamblers is they don't know how to control themselves if they win. They are getting greedy until they end up losing all of their money.

those who are greedy in gambling certainly do not play using strategy, they only always expect greater profits to be gained from gambling. but in the end the greed they do in gambling can affect the bad effects so they can turn things around that are experiencing so much loss.

It is really sad that a lot of people are getting addicted to gambling since not all of the gamblers will get a win in their every gambling games.

Investing and gambling have the same risk but thay doesn't mean that you will be taking on gambling since yes, you may look at gambling and risk your money but you are just riding your luck while on investing, you are not only riding your luck but also your skill, knowledge and experience.

It is why we need to take care of our kids to not playing gambling because once they know about gambling, then they will attract deeper to the game and they can become addicting. We don't want our kids to become an addicting person in gambling, and we need to explain to them about the dangers of gambling so they can prevent and take care of their selves.

I completely agree with you. The consequences of gambling are also bad and will ruin you. The reason is online gambling. You are right that online gambling is very easy and provides you the ease of gambling from your bedroom. This is the most dangerous thing because when you have the facility of gambling from your bedroom, you will gamble continuously and enough will never come.

Sometimes enough is enough because of the failures comes to us that makes worst our lives so we can say that's enough.We can't blame enough because failures will bring us to nothing which is very hard to survive.

Enough is enough when you say it stop and never to do it again. When you know how to stop and say a word enough is enough, you just need to prove of your self that you know how to maintain a word of enough and stop. You have your own mind set to make it all clear and to make it all understand that you know how to do a one thing that you can not disappointed others.

People who have self determination can only stop it forever rest of they may stop for a while and come back again . though they may play small bets in starting but finally they will land up int he same case as what was previously if they do not control themselves and have discipline on their actions.

Sometimes enough is enough and it yes you need to Lear your limitation specially I gambling because this is not good to our family . sometimes because of gambling your family will be broke .

So what if I am a degenerate  ::)
I can get my works done and still spend time with my family.
Allow me to do with my money as I wish

Teenager thinks that gambling is the way to make money in short time and they will have to do nothing hard for it. Enjoyment and gambling both are at one place. But when they become addicted, it is hard for them to quit gambling. Online gambling sites owners just collect money from around the world and don’t care about the lives of people, especially teenagers.

Then we need to explain to them that gambling is not a way to make money in a short time and it is better not to play gambling too often. I am sure that they will understand and they will know that there are another things that they can do to make money. It is sad if somehow we see our kids become addicted to gambling and we must take care of them to stay away from gambling.

Yes, you are right online gambling makes us a more convenient way for gambling, anywhere in the world we can easily access to the gambling which makes us more addictive to it and which we cannot able to control our emotions and this makes us loose more money.

Actually even adults, they know about it but they are setting it aside and only think of "what if i'm gonna win". If you really want your kids to stay away from gambling, you as adult/parent should do it first. Yeah it is fun if you two playing together but at the same that would be a problem.

adults or adults at heart , there is no real problem on playing a gamble as long as you know how to control your self and how to set limits . anyway , i know  a person that is playing gambling on a regular basis but she said that she only plays just to past the time so that she wont get bored because she doesnt have a job .  it also come to the point that i ask her on why she doesnt do other fun activities to past the time other than gambling , she only replied gambling is more more exciting as it involves a real cash .

Even if you explain to some people, they will still rub it on yourself and tell you to shove in your whatever, what you are telling them. Most times, people usually do not just want to always listen to things you tell them because they imagine they know better.

Reading through this thread, it is obvious that is glaring enough to see, as people still tend to find some excuse,by saying, what you are saying sucks. Actually, people need to start realizing first that in gambling, you really want to be in control, otherwise you will be controlled by your emotions and the impulse that comes with gambling, and once those things are able to take over, that is usually where the problem starts. So, as the OP said, sometimes, all you just have to come to terms with is that enough is enough.

Well, this depends on what is happening and what are you doing in your life. You must pass something if you know that nothing is happening to it even if you are doing your best. I know that there are these sayings like don't stop, keep in believing but it depends on what you really are doing like gambling. If you are an investor, don't stop, keep on learning and doing things but if you are a gambler, you must think carefully since gambling can ruin lives, not only your life but other else's life too.

Double trouble it that case where both of you do hits up addiction on the same time.Even myself doesn't really like to be seen even one of my family members,how
much more on letting my own sibling to get involve on such thing? We know the risk and its better to keep it on ourselves than on letting our child sees on what we are
doing.Chances for them to follow your own doings will be high and for sure you will regret later on when problem arises.

sometimes self-control when gambling is very important. because when you start to lose more than the money that is brought, but your friends prevent you from standing up and even lend to you, it is the beginning of your destruction. when you bring in enough capital and when it runs out it must stop immediately.

We need to realize that sometimes enough is enough so we can understand that the chances for us to win are not big. It's an option for us, and for adults people, they can think better than the younger people so I hope that we can make a better decision too. Yes, I always remind my kids if somehow I see they are playing gambling and I will tell and explain to them about the risk of playing gambling. Maybe in someday, I will play together with my kids, but I don't want to use big money as the bets.

At every occasion, self control will be important and not just for sometime. Whether we are on the loss or win, we have to be very wisely to pick the best decision for ourselves. With no self control, everyone will end badly in gambling.

Sorry mate, no one is saying you should not do with your money as you wish. What is important here is to have a limit, and that is where the idea of enough is enough comes in.

Believe me, there is no way you will end up having time for your family or even get to take care of them, if you become an addict and addiction don't just start all of a sudden, it starts with your approach and mentality towards gambling, which if you are not able to have some level of control, you may see it plainly affecting almost every part of your life which I am sure you understand yourself.

This is the big mistake of teenagers. When I was at a young age, I used to see gambling as way to become rich in a quick and easy way but that changes when I tried gambling and most of the time I lost. Most teenagers must change their perspective when it comes to gambling. That it is not a way to be rich in a short time. That gambling is only for fun and nothing more.

Well, that is why owners of online gambling created it, to earn income. They don't care to the people who are getting addicted and in fact, it will be better for them because more people getting addicted into gambling = more income to them.

I don't think if they do gambling for the purpose of fun, then they will continue to lust when their money runs out because they lose. And otherwise, I am not sure also for someone who comes to the place of gambling for the purpose of fun and then the money runs out and he gives up the money that has been used up and gone home. The character of a gambler is difficult to guess, none of them can really adjust emotions because they were defeated and really are only 'for fun' if they lose.

Yes, self-control in everything is very important if you don't want to end up with bad and deep disappointment. If you already have good self-control, then surely you will feel enough is enough for the profits that have been earned and can decide to quit. Vice versa, when you are in a loss situation but you can still control yourself well, then you don't become a craze to do everything because of that loss.

Well, this depends in that certain gambler since there are a lot of types of gambler and most of them have the reason of gambling just for fun and the greed for the great money. I am a addict gambler in the past but I stopped myself from it with the help of my family especially my partner. It is hard at the start since you are being pushed more to gamble but if you have the will, there is a way out of it. Right now, I can stop gambling immediately, I can control myself even though I am losing or I am winning since I know the experience of being addicted to gambling and I don't wanna experience that again.

Yeah you are right. When you play regularly and continuously you will definitely lose because when everything accedes from its limits, it become burden and the same is here in gambling. When you play for long time your mind will not be fresh and you will not be able to concentrate on your game. Therefore it is better to fix a time and money limits for your gambling.

Honestly, and it does not have to do with gambling alone but every aspect and sphere of life entirely, most especially when you know that if you are not principled enough, the outcome of what you are doing may be disastrous to you.

In that case, it is either you stay away from it if you know you are not strong enough to control the impulses in the long run, or you are able to come into terms with reality to know how to control those impulses and be in control of yourself. Honestly, as long as you can at least once in a while tell yourself enough is enough, then, you will realize indeed that you are able to be in control of yourself.

If everything done is a limit upto a pint it is good thing else then it becomes a headache and this is what exactly is gambling all about. If you cannot control yourself for becomes very greedy you will end up losing not only money but also will be addicted to it and will have tough time for oneself.

Control is always the thing that will always be emphasized when it comes to gambling as people who naturally does not have any form of self-control in them should not even be attempting to gamble at all, until they are sure they have been able to at least speak to themselves and then understand the risk involved when it comes to gambling.

The only reason where anyone who is a regular gambler will only be able to tell him or herself that enough is enough is only when they are able to build in a self-control attribute inside themselves, which only comes with your mindset towards gambling a whole lot of the time.

If you can control yourself, you can minimize your losses and can prevent from making the situation into worst. Question is, is it really that easy to control yourself and get out of the situation? It's actually not easy. Easy to say but hard to do when you're in that kind of situation. If you're the kind of gambler that can control your self, then that is good.

Its hard to control ourselves specially if we are on the stage which we lose huge amount of money and we are really wanted to return it back but if you can handle your emotion since start engaging into gambling i think we can control it well and setting a limitation is a big help.

True, it will be so hard to control ourselves espesially when we are lose huge amount of money. The best thing to avoid it is, try not to fall into such condition by never play with the money that we can't afford to lose.

We should really be able to control ourselves since without our control, we may be hitting into something like a car or any vehicle without break going downhill a steep mountain.

When we are gambling, we should be able to expect the possible outcomes that will happen. It is either you will win a lot of lose a lot but we all know that is the latter, right? So you should be able to expect that and make a strategy what will happen if that is getting close to you. Be responsible to what you do, always remember that since there might be something that may happen that you will regret the most.

If people become smart then it will be so helpful for them self only that they would not fall in the trap of getting addicted to this gambling and losing money as they would not be able to keep winning always. Youngsters actually want easy money and gambling is they look out for to earn that money.

During the game when I lose some money I say to myself that’s all it is enough. Sometimes I win but I am not greedy and do not continue gambling. I quit gambling when I want no matter I lose or win. Winning and losing are the parts of gambling. I think that one should gamble enough that he should bear. Also keep the consequences of gambling in mind.

But sometimes you want more and more, and that is what make you lose it all at some point.

And that is the reason of why i stopped gambling some months ago, because i was tired of always losing without any hopes at all

Gambling is very dangerous if you are not a super rich person

Sometimes you drink a lot, you drink more and more, until you fall from a chair and hit your head. Every vice can hurt you more or less, its about how you control it. Its has nothing with wealth you have, if you have 100$ you will sit at 1$ table, if you have $ 100 millions you will sit at 10,000$ table. With every vice its the same, you need to practice it, you need to make mistakes before you learn how to have a control, to know when its enough. This guy had to spend all his money to learn that, others learn faster, where are you depends from your personality. Gambling is not very dangerous, its a game where you can have fun and make some money, if you know how and you have some luck.

That's what you called greediness, you want more because you think that gambling can give easy money and when you lose, you still gamble more as you do not want to stop losing.

Some people stop but does not completely stop, it's either they enjoy doing it or they are just addicted that they urging themselves to still play.
This is an emotional problem, lack of discipline and lack of control will result to addiction.
End result - Big loss, worse is if you will become homeless because of your action.

Even if you are rich, the risk is still there, it depends on how you manage it as no rich person that has infinite money, we all have limitations.

Once a person got addicted he will always gamble as long as he has the money. Gambling too much time will be able to control people minds to do it again and again till something bad occoured that finally force the person to quit. Even rich person will find a bad condition at some points if they unable to control their mind in gambling.

It is good to see that you are able to control yourself and stop yourself from gambling anymore, as I have seen a lot of gamblers losing their money to the casino instead of winning. In my opinion, gambling is a dangerous activity even for the rich players if they do not know how to stop themselves from gambling once they goes on a long losing streak as it could cause them to lose all their fortune in just one night.

Self control is very important in gambling so that greed does not control your emotions, but even people who are not rich or poor people can succeed in gambling if indeed they have good self control and can master patience when they win and also lose. So gambling is not only dangerous for super rich people, gambling is dangerous for all gamblers.

Leave your car at the office to avoid use it as collateral or leave also your atm cards or credit careds
Use your money in your pocket to losing it all is enough to enjoy playing in casino

What about pledging himself for finding some more money to continue gambling ? Lol. I mean no one could stop an addicted gambler from continuing their gambling. It will take a lot of efforts and time to make them realizing the dangers of gambling. Only after realizing, they may find and accept that enough is enough. But in-between times they may lose everything including themselves that is the reason, suicides are becoming common for frustrated gamblers.

Gamblers who are strict about  limit on spending time and money, may avoid such frustrations. Those who are going gambling in uncontrolled manner, may find themselves into deep troubles in very quick time frame of gambling itself.

Leaving any of the property you own as collateral in gambling for me is the same thing as suicide. You know tbat chances to lose it are at best 97% while you only have a 3% chance to win and this is a good prediction I think. I have seen people leave their home at a casino and were never back to a normal person after this happened.

Do not see gambling as something that will save you rather see it as something who can destroy you, this way you will only play what you can afford to lose.

Why would you do such things? You don't need to do that.

Gambling addiction is popular among people that takes life easy, these easy go lucky types of guy are prone or possible to be addicted to gambling. They risk mostly anything to acquire what they want and just hope something will happen in the next day. Instead of depending on our luck, let's depend on what we have learned, what we have experienced and what we can do. We don't need to depend on luck, we need to depend on ourselves.

It may be useless as well if the gambler cant control himself. Simply he can go back to his office/house to take the money or anything else to gamble again if he cant control himself. It is just about mindset and self-control, no matter if you bring all what you have to the casino then you wont use all what you have because you know your own limit to gamble.

I agree. Most teenagers are the once who always a victim of being addicted to gambling. Most gamblers that don't know to limit themselves are those who are not responsible enough for their allowance. There are also some adults that getting addicted to gambling because of their badly needed money, sometimes they are trying their luck in gambling but this is not the right thing to do to make money.

That is intense. Why would you do that? I've been addicted to gambling and other things but I never ever did something extreme like this one. I did get addicted but I never use my phone as a collateral, my house nor my car or motorcycle. If you are in the point that you decide things like this one, better call a professional, you need to be treated immediately.

That's one way to avoid temptation, if you bring everything when you gamble and you losses your control, most likely you will gamble it.
And most likely you will end up losing, then the real big problem will start as supposedly those things weren't for gambling, but because of lack of control, you did risk it.

I disagree with this approach to gambling. Yes, gambling is not something that can save you(what is, btw?), but why precondition yourself that it can destroy you? People going to mountain climbing don't see it as something which can destroy them, although in some cases that is exactly what happens. Mountain climbers, or alpinists, see it as a great entertainment, which won't harm you unless you do something stupid. By "something stupid" I mean very risky moves, which surely give you more adrenaline than well-judged actions, but also can kill you most probably. Such moves can be compared to large bets with money one can't afford to lose in gambling. If you don't do such things your chances of being destroyed by gambling are small (although they do exist, so as for mounting climbers who can die sometimes even if they are very cautious). And this is not my theory, this is what statistics tell us: "approximately 1.6 billion people gamble during any given year with over 4.2 billion having gambled at one time or another". If even 10% of people who gamble were destroyed by it, that would be a horrible picture, but, fortunately, this is not what's happening in reality.

This usually where it starts. If you are a beginner, then im sure 80% of it starts with peer pressure. Friends who are addict on gambling needs some companion because some get their comfidence to them. Some also make them as a last resort and borrow money to them. But if you have control,notging can beat you up.

Controlling yourself should be done first before you gamble because you should know that its too risky to gamble and if you continue to do that, its hard to leave the casinos because of the pressure of course. Learn to stop when you got profit and most especially know when to exit if you don’t have much money now to play. We should learn to control our emotion to save us from losing bit money.

This is very normal for every gamblers to feel the hard of leaving the casinos when we still have money in our pocket, which is not good of course. In gambling controlling yourself is the hardest part, and sometimes you have no choice but to keep playing even if you lose much money. The word “Enough” is always forgotten in gambling, but we should always control ourself, know our priorities on that day and never chase what you have already lose.

Most of the time we are hearing or reading such things like controlling emotions can help us up avoiding to be addicted and too much engage with such activities, we can take some extra advantages if we know when to stop and when to play with some good edge, but when in such situations its really hard
to make an easy decision, so having a concrete plans before dealing with gambling is the best way to stop at the right time never to let your entire bankroll to be burned forcing you to sell out something or to barrow more.

I don't think it will works for him because if he is addicting in gambling, he will find a way to get more money so he can continue playing gambling. We know if someone is bond into gambling and become addicted, he will know what he needs to do if he doesn't have money because of losing in the gambling games. He will borrow from another person in the gambling places and fortunately, he can get that money quickly without having collateral but the risk is very high for him if somehow he loses all the money.

Gamblers cannot be considered as investors because they are here just to play and bet to win or lose and not to trust each cryptocurrency,so theres a big difference between investing and playing gambling.

Lol they want conpanion when playing because they need someone to enjoy with,or to lose together and not to gain confidence thats a different perspectives

Yes, if you are able to control yourself and have the ability to quit from gambling, then you must have great temperament and self confidence. Many people find it extremely difficult to quit it as it is like a habit hard to give up with.

If he is able to control himself he wouldn`t spend more and more, its same when you have problem with food, you can eat all the time but enough is enough, like with everything else, try alcohol. Controlling yourself doesn`t mean that you quit and stop what you are doing, its taking right doses, in gambling its taking money that you can spend for that, having fun and if you lose you stop until you find more money for that fun, if you win you can be happy and still you need control and to not spent everything right away, cash out and come back again with just part of that money. Learn to control yourself in everything, stopping with something doesn`t solve the problem it just create other problems.

Yes that is correct, it's really hard to make that decision because your emotions is playing with you. And as much as you wanted to quit, your mind tell's otherwise so it's really very very difficult to really control specially when you're losing and seeing that your bankroll is slowly going to 0. But I don't know about borrowing money though just to gamble because I haven't try that. I take money in a casino that I can afford to lose so if ever I get busted, I can quickly go home and fight another day.

No matter how we struggle through hard times, we still be able to smile from it. But the fact that you are forcing to fit in yourself to your friends where they spend lots of money is not really a good way to be noticed. If that's what you wanted, despite playing gambling, you should also know the consequences and the risk of what you are doing. Gambling is not for everyone because most people look at it as a source of entertainment.

That's true but we shouldn't also forget that having the zeal to gamble is more than what we see physically. It is also scientific. I mean, gambling deals with brain activities and so when people get addicted, it's very difficult for them to gain control over it.

Don’t be like your friends if you can’t afford to be like them tobecause you will just suffer later on if you continue to pretend that you still have the money. When you lose already know how to stop, enough is enough and stop playing if you already generate profit or you lose big money. Gambling is really not for everyone, it should only be applicable to those who can afford the risk and afford to waste money.

Gambling can be used for fun purpose by everyone but the poor who want to get rich in real quick are betting with lended money and ends up losing the bets which makes their life worse,so anyone can gambling but this is not a platform to earn money,if you want earn money act smart and hard don't depend on your luck.

Knowing when to quit gambling is a great virtue which unfortunately many in the gambling world lacks or find it hard to practice because they lack the personal discipline to call it quits when the going get tough. I for instance reflect over all my bets especially the ones that i loose and then try to psych myself to either continue or abstain for some time.

Not only knowing when to quit but what's important is knowing how to quit.
Gamblers should have a limit on the amount spend when they are losing and also the amount to earn when winning because even if we are
lucky, we do not want to end up losing and just waste our effort.

It's hard to be greedy in gambling, it will not bring any profit to us.

Yes sometimes when you felt have enough . its time to stop and moved on

This is the best way to control your addiction. The first time I went to the casino I have my bank card with me and I couldn't resist to make a withdrawal after losing my initial fund. Next time, I realized that going with a certain amount of cash in my pocket (the one that I can afford losing) is the best choice I had. Winning or losing will give you some fun and high rates of adrenaline, then it's time to go home.

When you are often playing the gambling game, and you can feel how exciting the game, and you can win some money, you will feel difficult for feel enough is enough. You want to earn more money by playing the game again and again, but you forget that you cannot win the game every time you want. At this moment, you feel that what you did in the last time was wrong and maybe it's time to stop and back to the reality.

You must not get into casino just because of peer pressure because you will just end up defeated any way around. Well, contentment is really the key as well as self-control when you play gambling. Have concern with the money you have in your pocket and do not play beyond your own limits. You have already known that you only have a limited amount in your hand but you insisted to still play having a degenerate attitude forced you to go all out beyond your specified limitation. That is what happen to those who cannot control themselves on spending that much for a game. That id why whenever I do play into the  online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) I am currently into, I first set my limitations specially to my budget allotted for playing the variety of games I play on it, and once I am already near my limit, I am already deciding to stop because it makes no sense at all playing up to my limit because it is just like I have already lost in the game and lost all my money a double kill penetration.

When you are addicted to gambling you will listen to your heart and keep on playing more and more as per your wish.  You will not listen to your mind and maybe totally blind to see the bad effects of addiction.



Gambling for fun is only for the rich people. Those who are poor or belong to mid families, they cannot afford to lose so much money on the account of fun only.
