Bitcoin Forum

I have find  this method  for myself and that helped me a lot  after my  summer  lost  , I lost everything I had  won and  saved for 1 year ,
I lost 53 million Satos  0.53 BTC  in  1 week .

I was very upset, I had to make some decision or stop playing  and stop lost my time or do something that would be stronger than my excitement and protect my winnings .
 I came up with a way out , after I did that , my savings started to grow little by little  and now I am in very good profit .

1) First thing I did I began to constantly repeat the word Stop Game - Withdrawal , and it helps me to stop game when I start win and
make a withdrawal .

2) So how now secure your winnings . Do you have relatives or reliable friends whom you trust as yourself ?
 Ask them to open a wallet for you, ask them for help, and while accumulating the balance don't forget to thank them with a percentage of the amount .
 We all love gifts .  I gave my friend already 0.10 btc, but assured him that it is not necessary to sell them now and it is better to wait 1-2 years .

3) You must enter into an agreement .

The first Conditions of your agreement should be such that you  will not take cryptocurrency from this wallet . The second Condition is that 80% of the winnings will be sent to this wallet . You can take this crypto currency only when you want to change it for real money, and it is better to come up with some really cool goal for this money . This will help to be patient .
 You have to give the word  to the holder of your wallet that you never  will ask him  this money  on  gaming in  casino or on the stock exchange . If you break your agreement , your agreement is broken and your friend should no longer help you . Don't  allow  yourself fall in the eyes of your friend . The ability to keep your word is worth a lot .

As for me personally, I am ashamed to ask for a games , because I gave my word . There were many times when I wanted to make a Deposit after I lost again and again but this method kept me from doing rash actions caused by excessive emotions.  For me wallet  which is out of your access zone it's surviving  for  my balance ,  sometime you can even transfer 90% and  keep for yourself just 10-20% and send it to on your personal wallet and use them for games . NOT MORE THEN 20 % FOR Games

If you break your promise and disgrace yourself and take the cryptocurrency for gaming from this  wallet that is out of your reach, then you are sick and you need medical help from professionals .

Good luck to you guys , hide your winnings  from your passion and they will serve for  you . I hope I helped you guys .

PS
On some sites we have  vaults is a good solution for someone , but not for me , as it will not help me not protect me from my own  excitement . If it were possible to close the money in the vaults for different periods of time, it would be much better .
PSS
Another important point is that those who do not play do not understand us , how we can put such amounts on the one bet and explain it will be difficult, but when the money is already between two people who have different attitudes to the gambling  , there is a different level of responsibility .


In the pursuit of big wins , we lose a lot of small and significant amounts  !

Always necessary to take away and hide from yourself part of the winnings !

I guess my post is related with this one. Here's the link.

Excitement and other feelings such as too much happiness, sadness or anger can greatly affect your decision making in gambling. Even though we say that we should set aside someting, if we dont have this control, that hidden fund of yours can be subject to another betting rounds. Always start from strengthening your mindset before doing anything.

Excitement usually happens when we have a winning streak, it is also the time where we can experience a more greedy moves. The best strategies is either to stop playing or to save some of your profit. Gamblers will always feel the excitement, the result will just depend on how we handle that excitement.

For me it's quite simple.
You play only to double or triple your money(I'm talking about poker).Nothing more.
If you double/triple your money,you just leave the table and start playing 24 hours later with the same start amount from the previous day.If you lose everything,you just leave the table and play again after 24 hours(the moment of tilt will be gone).

The most important thing when you are gambling is to know how to control yourself and your feelings. If you think you cannot do that then you should better stop gambling or not start at all with gambling because you will lose your money 99% of the time. Most people after they win something they gamble even more because they are greedy and want to win even more. Thats not a problem if you can control yourself and bet smaller amounts so if you lose 2-3 times it will not affect you, but most people bet high amounts thinking they have jsut won something so there is no problem if they lose. And guess what happens? They lose once,then twice and third time they go all in and lose again. And that repeats every time. So you need to have a bankroll and a plan wich you are going to follow. Make 1-2 bets a day and stick to the plan, if you lose dont bet more , if you win again dont increase the bet. Just make a plan and stick to it. If it doesnt work then change the plan and keep going until you make it.

that idea can also be applicable to other types of gambling games but the idea is verry risky because i see that you are going to gamble all your winnings continously if ever you won  .  what if you already earn alot for example millions ,  would you still bet that amount in the hopes of doubling it more ? if you win youl be happy but if you loose that can cause serious mental illness  .  but at the end of the day , it still up to the gambler if what is his goals for playing a gambling  .

All strategies have no effect if you do not have complete control of yourself so that it is of no use to me, the most important thing is to calmly take every opportunity after getting a very good victory. all money.

then choose, want to be a greedy person or a calm person with a cold head.

I like his idea of locking the balance with someone else who care about you. If you both come to an agreement and help each others then the gambler friend might find himself safe from losing everything.


I never played poker so I have no idea about poker addiction however I am into sports betting and I know how frustrating it is to control your greed.

By the way, Thanks for OP for this very simple idea. I appreciated it with some merit for you. Hope you enjoy it.

More simple step is don't gamble for money,just do it for excitement and it need to be enjoyed over stopping.If you want to keep your win amount safe just get out from betting at the moment you have won.

Excitement is the reason why you can't stop yourself from gambling and gambling even though if you lose already. That's why it is better to be wiser to yourself because our very hardest enemy is ourselves only. And your idea is good to make you stop from playing even though if you are losing at least you never did lost everything in a one go.

The problem is that winning relaxes you and give you a feeling to play more. That's what exactly some of online casinos do with newbies by letting them win to make them loose as much as it is possible and get involved by chasing of one more win. The situation is actually different, everything up to person and I do not believe that there is a method of staying cool headed which would suit to everyone.

You could always start gambling with a certain goal (doubling or tripling your initial deposit, etc) in mind and stop after achieving that goal or losing all your money. No need to form such a complex agreeement and such if you're capable of doing this after a bit of 'practice'- that is, start trying this out the next time you gamble with a smaller amount than normal and put a bit more in every next time you gamble 'till you're up to your normal gambling amount.

Alternatively, if you really can't seem to stop excitement from overwhelming you, gambling might not be the best form of entertainment for you. There's plenty of other things to do elsewhere too; you just haven't found many of those things yet.

We may call it as greediness also but newbie turned to invest their fund gambling field without knowing the future problems on it. I do not understand they are doing any research while they are investing towards it.

Always have less interest on this field and if you own any spare money then you could that to gambling else you should hold it for your own betterment.

Knowing your purpose in gambling can assure you to at least go home with profit. The excitement can turn to disappointment when you don’t know how to be contented. So many reason for us to have fun in gambling, but still many gamblers wants to have more money but ended up with a big loss. 

Honestly the unusual traits that occurs if a gambler didn't control their "excitement" , has a simple solution yet needs time to enhanced.

What's this? It's our "Gambling Experience".

Yes it's human nature that we might have difficulties to deal on a certain gambling behaviour like "why we should stop if we are experiencing a continous winning?" .That kind of mindset is really usual on a gambler. Gamblers think that we need to take advantage while luck is our side. Then after a continous betting, the other way around happen which is "loss".

With experienced, we will used to this kind of scenario therefore while we do continous gambling, we are now able to think even by little by little that we need to control and grab that winnings now even how lucky we are on that day.

I wonder how many people are into gambling just for fun. Have you known individuals that their ultimate goal is just to have entertainment while in the gambling table? Your guess is good as mine.  ;)

Out of excitement on winning, gamblers used to spend once again expecting similar return. This is quite common with the new comers to the gambling. Whenever there is excitement it is good to take a portion and make it safe adding it to a wallet. This will give at least a small earning end of the day than losing everything.

Set a target winning. I always do this as I gamble to keep myself from greediness/excitement. Once I've reached the target winning that I planned in my mind, I'll stop betting or playing. If I'm still bored or want to still gamble, I most likely to play casino games that doesn't use real money. This is also effective in improving my self control as I gamble with my real money.

you suggest earlier that "  better if we cant just gambling for money " but now you are saying that if we won we must secure our winnings ?  you still sound like you are gambling for money if you play that way .   

but even if you play for fun on online gambling sites , you will still pay for the bets  .  see ? it still involves  money  but thats the thrill of gambling will come out .

Well, someday ago I met someone who is a regular gambler with a good winning. What he usually do is setting up a goal, after reaching that goal, he stop gambling for that day. For example, his goal is to win 10% a day on his investment. When he reaches this amount, he just quit for that day. I think it's a good idea. It can help someone to control the loss too.

Hey while it’s difficult to control excitement if you practice changing your mindset for 21 days regarding it, you’ll be able to control your excitement. Another way I personally suggest is the use of Affirmations, it could be, I’ll not get carried away, I’ll play responsibly etc. I don’t think a gambler should just stop gambling, cause more he’ll avoid it chances are he’ll end up playing more than what he normally did.

Though all contribution will definitely work out on individual because savings in gambling has always be an issue. When I gamble and win, then I set some percentage for the next day game and set the remains to my backup wallet which I have no access to the private key.

In gambling, control our feelings is most important thing actually, because when we play especially game like dice, what we need is luck. And make strategy then really do it is key to be success or at least not lose all our money in gambling.

That was a great story and advice from you to all of us. One thing that I learn from you is only we that could help ourselves if we have a problem and we should have a strong mind to get out of the trouble.

It might get a challenge, but we need to stick with our plan especially if we want to quit gambling forever. We don't know how long we can control the emotion inside the game because we can lose control in anytime too. But before we are losing all of the money, we need to say to ourselves that we don't have to gamble because we want to leave gambling. I am sure that we can say NO to gambling.

I thought that you would feel difficult for the first time, but for the next days, I am sure that you can say it without a problem.

But yes, if you decide to play gambling still, you can choose to save the win money and send it to another wallet and don't use it if you don't want even if for placing more bets.

Thank you for a good story, and a good lesson and I hope we can take an important lesson from you.

Good strategy and I'm happy that it works for you.
As for me, I have a different strategy, I normally have a budget for like a certain period in gambling and don't cash out until that period is over.
When you can easily access your money since you are in control of it, this really needs some discipline and I'm happy I have that.

Whatever strategies we have, we need to ensure it's working because in gambling, you only either win or lose, both require proper self management.

If only double or triple your deposit then it will be more easier .  For example  on the Stake.com  I multiplied the initial amount by 1600 . One day I have won   0.11 btc  for 8-10 hours of playing  just from 10k Sat  , it was something like 500$ from  ZERO  because this 10k it was just a tip ,  and when the excitement overwhelms you it is difficult to keep control under myself .  Yesterday I posted a bet of one guy who  won   2.6 BTC just from 100 Satoshi . On the one hand it's cool , but on the other overshadows all sanity .

I really liked what you said , it's cool .  Always start from strengthening your mindset before doing anything. - Gold Words
Often I have noticed that I do rash actions when I play tired or just woke up and still sleepy . My mind is not strong enough at these moments to resist the excitement .

I think that is just the best thing to do. Having a target and setting a goal. Some people are so disciplined that no matter what it promises to look like after then they wouldn’t proceed and that is discipline. It honestly takes great self-discipline to control emotions and excitement while gambling.

I tell myself that I am in control of my emotions and am in charge of myself so I try as possible as I can to stop game when I have made few wins because I have seen from experience that inability to control oneself in gambling leads to loses most times, so I rather be contended with the little gained than losing out of aspiration to gain more.

Good that you were able to recover your losses but if you remain in gambling, the tendency of losing your savings again is big. Some people fall into emotional breakdown in this kind of experience and they don't wanna try again. Some just lost appetite in life. I even know someone committed suicide leaving his family in huge debt with out their knowledge at first. 

Always be contented for the profit that you have in gambling, don’t continue if you have win already. Some may continue to play will be more excited to earn more but we are not sure if we will goign to another profit or not so stop the excitement and make it real, do save the profit you want.

The way to get your profit more safely to your home is very difficult in gambling because if you have money then our mind will not get out from gambling till you are getting all your money when it's so it's all about experience that you have with the gambling will teach you and guide you to make the right decision.

after winning, leave the gambling table and have fun. after that, enter again but with a small bet, it will make you safer in playing gambling.

The problem is, we do it for money, not for pleasure .  Sometimes there are times when you can win 100$  or even $1000 just from 1$

This often happens with guys in the casino . So 20 years ago I said that it is not terrible to lose money , it is terrible to win money .

I think it depends on how much you win.

If someone wins the lottery which is in the multi-millions, they will most likely stop buying more lottery tickets and keep their winnings.

The issue with the people who can't stop gambling are the ones who either lose a lot or win a little.

If someone loses a lot, they will usally keep playing until they get break-even and then they will quit. However for many they never hit break-even and end up losing tons of more money just to recover a small initial loss. Basically losing $1000 because they only wanted to get their $100 back.

If someone wins a little, they will usually keep playing because they "want more" and "its not enough" and what usually happens they will lose what they've won and either quit then or they will get into the negative.

Its basically fear and greed combined and not a good combination.

Its always never a good combination therefore as a gambler or even just realizing on your own actions you should do your best to avoid on engaging yourself thru gambling
if you do know that yourself cant able to handle emotion or on being greedy when you do play.

Our motives on easy money will really come out and when we are in the middle of situation where we are on negative we would normally have the same actions
which is to chase our losses which is really a very very bad thing to do.

Seems like you are a bright person and you come to teach yourself doing this things,but only one thing comes to my mind and that is

Why not tell yourself to just STOP GAMBLING and find more profitable way without risking your money on this gambling addiction

It all depends on how excited you get, I mean if you are one of those people who go crazy when they win and start to spend the money like it doesn't matter than you are going to lose all of it.

My uncle in law once won about 20 thousand dollars from a roulette game by luck and he started to give us some money to keep on gambling, he bought drinks and he was surrounded by women who of course wanted a share of the pie and he bought all of them drinks and took them to the bar and basically had a fun night, by the end of the day he owed the place 2 thousand dollars on top of the 20 thousand dollars he "won" that he spent on that night.

If you are like that, the best way would be to have someone who you have to listen and keep an eye on you, when you go crazy that person will say "stop" and as long as you listen to them you will stop.

Very good advice I believe in Affirmationthey it helped me a lot in my life . This is very good Affirmation I will use this  I’ll play responsibly
And you're absolutely right , it's very hard to get rid of gambling . As a very good friend of mine said, Money is the strongest drug .

Facing any loss and quitting that thing is never a better option.

You learn from mistakes and no matter you face loss just try to find suitable games and try to risk minimum amount until you learn from the markets. Gambling is not that bad and also gambling needs a lot of efforts to have profits.

Gambling could be addictive and it is always necessary to control your emotions and excitement so that you won’t turn greedy to eat your profits.

Decoration for winning in gambling is controlling your excitement while you are getting a profit or loss because in most of the time people will made decision wrongly while they are excited what they are going so in this field we need to know what we are doing in each and every time this will be the only way to hold your money and make it more higher.

I had similar Mantra's as well. I guess if you really experienced a big lost in your gambling habits, I guess this kind of self call will be effective. I lost heavy before and I kept thinking what if I just exited and went home or quit with my money then I would be very very happy the next day.

And now seeing all that big money gone just like that, makes me think that's why I learn to have self control and quit before I experienced that painful and disappointment and regrets again.

I had the same predicament when started gambling. Out of excitement, I have lost over 0.2 BTC in a single bet. When we keeps winning and as the balance grow we have that "no one can stop us" feeling. Eventually, we would end up with empty hands. Withdraw when you win is a good idea but, personally I don't agree with the second point you have made. Whoever it may be, never get money involved in your relationship if you care for it to stay long. I had many worst experiences trusting closed ones. Make use of vault/ bank features instead.

Not everyone plays for money. There are a lot of gamblers who are been into gambling just for fun as they like playing with the games.

Always remember of you treat gambling to balance your financial life than each time you would end up into loss due to over-confidence, anxiety, excitement, or something similar. Gambling can generate major profits as you say but the risk remains the same as we can’t control the markets.

Open-pots is really very helpful and educative. I’ve also lost a lot gambling and from experience I have now devised strategies which sometimes fail and sometimes saves me out of loses. That idea of stopping game is really very vital.

I even write it down before I begin that I should that it is very important to end game when I make a win before I can proceed but I realized the greed in me would not make me follow this and then I end up losing, then I told myself that the major thing I need to succeed in gambling is self-discipline.

This self-discipline has greatly helped me. I stop game when necessary, make withdrawals at the right time and I’ve just been appropriate and then I realized that I stopped making losses and for your idea of entering into an agreement, well what work for you might necessarily not work for everyone.

Finding a trustworthy person these days is very difficult, for those who can find a good relative they can trust, it is not a bad idea but I have heard and seen stories of siblings who are jealous of themselves. Be sure whoever you are trusting to help you open a wallet will not in future be jealous of you when they start seeing what you earn.

Your ideas are ok.. Though everything would depend on how trustworthy your friends or relatives are.
There are suggestions about auto locking wallet for days,  weeks or years. I think it is much safer than sending money to your relative or friends wallet.

Thank you for sharing this with us as many of us has gotten our account back to zero because of the excitement.  I could remember in 2014 when I was betting with ioption and I have just win 6 in a roll and from there increase my betting rate and in three loses I have my entire account wipe out.

Same here I would only double or triple the money that I deposit,
But most of the time I would lose  ;D ,
I always play mines and crashgames.

It doesn't need to be that complicated if you have a strong determination to keep your winning safe. I have done this method without involving close friends, a method like this is indeed very good but the problem is that when you do not also get winning in gambling what happens is that you will always make deposits. I always separate funds for gambling and storage in the wallet, when we make a lot of wins in gambling, of course your money in the wallet will continue to grow, but when you always lose gambling? then any method for securing your coins in the wallet will never succeed if you still want to gamble without thinking about leaving. So, the most important thing is how we are able to make wins streak in gambling consistently and not about how we should keep winnings safe.

Decoration for winning in gambling is controlling your excitement while you are getting a profit or loss because in most of the time people will made decision wrongly while they are excited what they are going so in this field we need to know what we are doing in each and every time this will be the only way to hold your money and make it more higher.

I don't know how to control the excitement while we are getting the profits higher but I know one thing it will come under your experience so controlling your excitement when only been made by your experience because in the beginning stage you will don't know how to control it after getting some losses you will definitely learn it.

Just getting away is not enough, Excitement corrupts the mind, winnings corrupt the mind too . The task is to learn to keep  excitement under full control  , but even if we come to this, then the money we won  better to hide from ourselfs . Attitude to the money we won is quite different and it easier to lose .

Unlike the winning amount it is good to save a part of the winning on every event. This will let the user have a safer fund, because people always tend to spend the entire winning on gambling and go for a bigger earning in the Short. This sometime make the user quit gambling as there won't be anymore funds to spend upon. It is us to plan wisely and spend it.

Everyone should carry only a limited amount while entering casinos . So they know at the max they can lose that much amount only. Another thing when people win they should keep taking out their capital away from the game and only play with profits.

I think it is even more greed that will make one who has won multi millions in gambling continues because he hopes to win more. It is even okay for those who have lost and wish to even recover and even those who have won little and hope to win more.

Like you have rightly mentioned Fear and greed combined and it is not a good. The truth is most people wouldn’t have lost as much as they possible on gambling as a result of the 2 factors you mentioned.

I haven't spoken to my brother in over 7 years. , , all due to the fact that he has lost my trust , and always to forgive the man that hurt . But I was lucky in my life  to find  good and reliable friends .  If a person does not have someone to trust his money ,  he must put  his   winning money in place from there  will be extremely difficult  make another deposit  . 
As an option, this is a hardware wallet  Trezor or Ledger which will be closed in bank safe deposit box .

I forgot to thank you for merit . Thank you , I glad that my topic liked and attracted the attention  :)

Do you believe that people actually do that. I am sure they are not instead they get greedy and loose the fund on investing more funds over multiple gambling options. I have some friends did this kind of things and lost many of their funds in the peak time of cryptos.

I always suggest to keep some funds on cold storage or paper wallet and forget it for some month until we see the next bull run.

Simply you could see the odds and watch the match and then make the betting all will be fine for you.

everyone must have such tricks because the final results given in gambling and the player's response certainly can make things worse, don't be too excited when you win because it can makes you overconfident and takes great risks. losses too, most players will do max bet when they lose right?

I guess that will not be easy to leave the gambling table because the tempt to play still will always on there, and it could attract us to play more. But if you can controlling your mind always to remember that when you win, you must quit gambling, then you don't need to afraid to leave the gambling places.

I think leaving the gambling place is not the same as getting away because we don't want to get losses after we win and we want to save the money for other things.

The money from the "hot" place will go fast, and it could not stay in a long time in our wallet. I have this experience in the past but with another thing

This is easier said than done, as far as I know there's no easy way to lock your funds.
It's about time that wallets implement a time-lock feature.

If you want to do it the 'hard' way, here's a relatively easy guide:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415595

With relatives I was not lucky , but lucky with good friends . We have a relationship proven over the years and we have a joint property that is rented . But  is not easy to find such reliable people in life  . People who are above money .

Well, that is the fact of people who always seeking an exchange, they are not real friends of yours.
Back to the OP's topic.
Winning streak is the thing that makes a gambler excited. It is very common for a person to feel the excitement if they win many times however, excitement could give you an emotion of greediness and would make your bet lose. If you have the winning streak and wanted to keep it, stop it right away and go home. You have to make sure to go home with cash in your pocket.

Happy for you mate,
but really, how can you do this:

No matter how many times I repeat those words it does not work ;D
Sadly, I never stop unless I lose everything and have nothing left in my account balance.

I already wrote above about it , but perhaps you have not noticed .
How about a hardware wallet Trezor or Ledger closed in Bank safety deposit box . You have a wallet number, you transfer money, the wallet is in the Bank, you can even go to the nearest city what is located at a distance of 200-300 km from you. It is necessary to make it extremely difficult to physically access the wallet . Well, just set a goal not to touch the savings on this wallet in the next 2-3 years .

To distribute the funds as follows :
1) Main  Wallet  - Means not to take in the next 2-3 years . Keep the main  70-80% of money .
2) Wallet-Accumulative for a big game, do not take Funds in the next 4-6 months . 
3) Wallet  for each day the maximum balance 10-15% of the total capital

You have to do something about it . Fight him and change this situation . The worst thing is that we getting into a habit to such actions and they determine our future life . To something we a getting into a habit for a long time, to something  very quickly . Imagine yourself in next 20 years, you want to be in next 20 years in same situation , and everything was the same ? If you do not think  now about  that  then it may be too late in nearest future  , time flies fast .

If I'm unable to control myself and feel that I have a gambling problem, then I either wouldn't go to a casino, or I would take someone with me who will not allow me to spend more than a set limit. Fortunately, I don't have a gambling problem, and am able to control myself :) I don't understand people who win large amounts of money, and then keep playing until they lose it all. For them, it's not about the money, but it is all about the adrenaline rush that they get out of the experience.

There are basically no principles to playing gambling and there is no 100 percent rules to keep winnings safe. The best is to just be oneself. Just play it like you are having fun and the result would always be massive. It is when one enters gambling or sees it as an entertainment, you learn would obey instinct.

It is very important to go with your instinct when gambling, it will let you know when to stop and would also tell you when to proceed but when the game is taking too serious with rules and regulations you might not listen to your instincts but rather the rules.

I gamble with steem/sbd on Steem platform, what I do is after winnings I power up to steem power (which is locked and takes 12 weeks for complete power down) (not many friends haha).

Adrenaline rush is always been there as long we are engage on gambling. Winning bets would trigger it and thats how gambling sites do really like where gamblers
do able to reach out such state because most likely lose all of the money that they have won.If you do really know that you do have some gambling addiction then you shouldnt
play at all.

Just keep reminding your self the money you are going to spend on gambling needs to be done without any earnings which can give us self control while we lose bets and when we win we just have to walk away with that and feels lucky for that.

It needed for everyone to control his excitement and his happiness while he was winning and also need to control the huge loss also these two things are always happened to you you and keep controlling with their Limited way of investment will give the exact profit for you how you can prepare for gambling it will completely happen at that time.

After losing half a bitcoin then you must already know how to discipline yourself in gambling and besides it's your money, hard earned or not.

The best protection that anyone can give to themselves in losing money is to stop gambling at all.

I've been addicted to gambling before and I am also doing this the time I am realizing I have enough but it is not working. I thought, if my bet win I will be leaving this area but after that a rooster with good body will be fighting or sometimes you know the owner of it so you continue to bet talking to yourself again about getting out until it becomes, I will get out once I got my losses. Continuing, in the end it will be I hope I stopped at that time. To explain this, it is easier to say this than to do it.

That's the fact answer playing gambling is always exciting and get nervous what is.the result of the bet. Savings of profits its also depends from the player greedy.

It's very important to be able to control yourself in gambling and never thought that you can constantly making profit in gambling, setting a stop limit is already a good strategy to start, separate wallet is needed when you can't fully control yourself, but I don't think we need to involve other people's in gambling, I don't like the idea to letting people know that I gamble, the first thing that needed to control yourself is to set your mindset about gambling, when you got the correct mindset then you can have the better self control

I bet a gambler would not stop, though I did not loss this much but I'm pretty sure I'm in this kind of situation in the past.

Losing more than you can afford to lose will make you regret, promise not to gamble again but still you will persist to do it because we are just human and we cannot deny that gambling is really entertaining. I am thankful that I don't a loss a lot now, I believe I'm in normal procedure, slowly I'm in control.

I think when it comes to money, it is hard to trust anyone and not even our most trusted relatives or friends can be trusted. The only person whom you can trust is yourself and you should be mature enough to save your holding yourself, rather than looking for people who can keep your money save.

That is what I doing as well but with TRX. It give me the possibility of freezing them which lasts 3 days so after 3 days I have forgotten my need to gamble.
Steem gives more time to have them locked, I believe that 12 weeks are too much but it is a good strategy to follow if you want not to be addicted to gambling games.

You’re lucky with your friends and I do hope to found a friend like that. I just can’t afford to trust anyone with my money, but in gambling its good to save some of your profit and sending it to someone you trusted that much. The excitement should still be there since you gamble to have fun, but you must also focus on your goal.

Addiction cannot be cure by this and accept it or not,you are a gambling addict as you admitted about not stopping to play until the last amount have lost

Better ask for family help first before trying any other relieving method mate

Well, for his type of person, the best will be for him to completely get out of gambling first and get emotional help by visiting a therapist to help him work on his emotion, because the worst thing ever in gambling is to gamble with emotion, it’s dangerous and also causes addiction.

Gambling in its nature is not bad, but it is only for the matured mind, people that have self-control both physically and financially, and people that have the gift of saving

All the above, I love saving a lot and no matter how attractive the gambling looks, my saving is my savings, that is why I withdraw on time from the game once I get the little profit I can get for that day provided I make a win.

Well it mat work for some but definitely not all. If it works for you to ay least control your urges to keep on gambling, then good. If not, find other ways. For me it's all mental and if one routine can help you out regardless of what that is, then there's no harm in doing it.

I think you should count yourself very blessed to have been lucky with friends. It is even more difficult to get trustworthy relatives than friends. I have not been lucky with friends and i hope to get one someday. But, I still don’t know if I have any relative I can trust with my wallet.

I am in totally in support of his above listed rules to keeping winnings safe except for trusting either friend or relative. I have suffered so much betrayal and i have serious issues with trust

See that is what happens when you do not strictly differentiate between what is good and what is not.
Do not just take these things for granted and rather be mindful of the opportunities you have because they can go like they come.

You can easily lock some of the profits/money you make in gambling and keep on playing the rest of the money. Moreover, you should have a stop limit and a budget limit. These are the things that keep you safe.

It's your call whether to trust someone or just to keep it y yourself, you need to always be aware of possibilities, things will be so different when in terms of money involved so being protective and always be aware of things that can possibly happens will be your task.

That is something you just cannot cope with if you are in gambling and love to gamble. There are pre-designed strategies from the opponents as well and you get tricked in them one way or the other. And then you put in more money in the game to gamble it. Sometimes people block the already made money and this helps a bit for you go on with what is unlocked. Besides, it is important to be rational and have set boundaries not to cross.

Does your friend do make the bettings for you? Why you said about betrayal?

When you do gamble you shouldn't rely or do take decisions with your friends yet that's why you are playing because you do like to be entertained and also you do have
the full control of your funds.Its up to you on how to spend or how you do bet but it isn't really bad to get some inspiration to them into those kind of times.

This depends on the way you are gambling. If you are playing online, you should look the funds you have made before entering the next level. On the casino table, you just have to have the sharp mind. You cannot always withdraw and have to play given numbers of rounds according to the rules. The house would do anything to trap you at the table and get your money. So better option for you to save money is to choose not to play once you are the conqueror.

Yeah! There is nothing wrong if you let your friends or relatives share in making your own decisions when you are just a beginner. I also see nothing wrong if you are the one who seek for help. Only make sure that the one who helps you or the one you seek for help knows the field where you struggle. If you think that you are not a good gambler then ask for guidance in a gambler as well (or at least once become a gambler). By doing this, you can assure that he is not misdirecting you away from the right path since he have been there.

But on the other hand, it is also bad if you always depend on the others because it will not lead you to have significant improvements. Sometimes it is better to make your own choice, use your critical thinking skills and intuitions, make your own strategies and believe to yourself; if you fail then don't worry because you are not the only one — that's normal. At least. Failure is always a part of growth.

We cannot deny that playing gambling can give excitement all day and sometimes makes us forget that we have another thing to do. I think we have a way to prevent this so we could save the money for tomorrow. We can make a limit of time for playing gambling, so we know that will be a solution for us to keep that money from another loss. We need to have a power to say "NO" to the games and "We need to get out of here." Maybe it is hard for us, but if we don't try, then we cannot quit gambling and save money.

That is a wise decisions but that is because you keep gambling as far you make profits and has no control of you gambling decision.  It is good for those that could not resist the urge of gambling.

That’s really a good strategy to have profits and avoid loss by anxiety. It is always better to have a better game and gamble the possible amount onto it and leave markets for sometime until you find a another good game.

Doing so will not keep you much addicted towards gambling as well as you can expect profits each time you gamble. Instead of playing multiple games, we could simply study a single game much deeply and play onto it.

It is all about your mindset when it comes to gambling. When you feel you are loosing, you just make up your mindset to stop.

No needs to actually reiterate the word stop again and again. There are always set rules and boundaries for the rational gamblers so I mean if you know about your benefits and losses, why would you just not stop upon a profit to save or upon a loss to stop more loss ?

A possible solution might be for some developer to create a wallet with a time lock. You can gamble and then withdraw some profit to that wallet that you cannot access, until the time lock expires. This way you do not have to trust friends and family and you do not have to embarrass yourself by asking them to keep the coins for you.

A lot of people are using Smart contracts and other code to implement specific requirements to unlock coins, so you might have to investigate that option, if you cannot control your gambling problem.  :(

Thanks and by the way, its also applicable to anything like choosing an ICO to invest for example. You should focus and think that the investment is hard and you should need more patience in able to survive. But having a controlled emotions in gambling is hard because its real time and you should control it as soon as possible. If you have weak core, you will fail.

That weak side of you should be develop along the road. Its ok to be excited to earn more but remain calm and think for your goal. The gambling profit is not guaranteed so if you won son, keep it secure don’t play longer. Having a selfcontrol is good in every situation of our life, you’re both right.

This is only applicable with strategy-based games but for lucky based ones it isn't really necessary for you to have that kind of gambler friend since you can able to play with just learning the basics.
Failure is indeed part of growth but you should not strive this thing on gambling because you are just risking out your money.

To keep our winnings safe it is good to have prior learning about gambling. Whether it is winning or loss, user should be prepared to be on the safer side. In most of the cases the profit through gambling goes out of hand when the user gets into greed. To have a healthy earning through gambling user should have limitations with the spending.

You know what, the best way to protect yourself from losing in a streak? Stop gambling all of your money. Gambling all those money that you can lose. Only those you can lose.

Gamble amount of money that you can afford to lose is the best option here, you can protect your self from excitement and become a loser if you've set amount that you can afford to lose it won't happen. However, you don't need to protect your self if you want to spend your money in gambling if you are entertaining it well. Self-satisfaction and relaxing when you are in gambling are worth it.

I am sure your experience would certainly help you maintain your excitement and wins as well. None can control your emotions except you and i am sure when you in gambling and you do not have a control over your emotions, I dont think, gambling will sustain you in it for long. Hence focus and learn to balance your emotions, wins and loses more than the money you invest.

At both Primedice and Stake you can use the Vault system for instance where you can safely move your balance to a safe spot and prevent yourself from an easy "get, grab and use it" after you bust.
I would still go for betting -> profiting -> withdrawing as an alternative solution. But it's up to you.

You could also make some limit block where if you reach a certain balance (profit) you wont use it from that specific amount below.

I think stop   gambling completely would be the best context here.
Gambling ruins a family, i have been opportune to resolve family issues where a man commits money meant for family feeding into a gambling game just because he considers it not so much and this could lead to greater problems in the home. This game is so addictive.

Too difficult to implement self-control while playing and gamblers are always stressed. The only happy ones are those who can win at all times and this is not common. I would say we should advise strictly against gambling, the idea of commit what you can afford to loose, has failed

does that guarantee that your feelings so as not to panic when you experience defeat or are too excited when you win?
I think self-control is much more appropriate for that, because happiness or excited certainly involves your emotional feelings, and it's controlled by yourself

I don't think that this is the best solution to gambling.
Money is the motivation that keeps you playing but you need something stronger in order to tackle it. Every gambler should work on self controlling themselves but having a lot of activities that distract them from gambling. Being away from gambling thoughts can solve the problem.

I think stopping on gambling is not an easy way specially if you will stop it forcibly because there is a big possibility that you will be tempted to gamble again. If you are planning to stop gambling, do it by simply decreasing the amount of money you will gamble until you do not notice that there will be the time that you can already resist gambling.

With gambling it is really hard to achieve what we plan, in between things go unpredicted. This is common with gambling, to stay safe with the winnings we should have prior learning about the factors that tempt us to spend onto gambling unlike the winnings we make. This will give a perfect opportunity to win and keep our winnings safe without getting into excitement.

Having a good mindset not to allow yourself with temptations to continue playing while you still have your winnings, if you can manage to quit
before allowing yourself to lose back again everything, enjoy instead of become greedy thinking that you won't lose anymore, you need to choose
between being contented with small profits or continue and lose everything including your bankroll.

Maybe we can say like this, we use $20 to gamble and no matter how long we can play, we only use that amount. And when we lose that money in just 30 minutes or less, we should leave the places and never use other money to continue playing.

I think that is the solution for people who want to play gambling, but they are afraid to spend all of the money for a long time. That is limiting our money, and we know the time to quit gambling. That will only work if we have good control for ourselves.

Its best to say, that you should stop gambling and call it a day. Theres plenty of tomorrow to play again and dont be way too greedy over money, this always happen to people who lost so much money and cant think properly.

Yes, I thought so too. Stopping gambling will completely steal our way in losing more money. That's a great idea. But most of the time, addiction is not the type of thing you can stop for once. It could be stop in many ways but not straightly, it will harm more the victim. It should be stop not in the fastest way, slowly. And also with proper guidance.

You keep on saying "Stop Game - Withdrawal" and it really helps you to stop? lol. Its not that easy for everyone. Each and every people are different on their own way and addiction affect everyone in different way. Next, all you do is keep your winnings on a friends wallet to protect it? Well, if you are lose, wouldn't you take those winnings from your friends and use it for gambling?
The best way to keep your winnings safe is to quit once you made enough loss/profit.

You need to be stop being greedy and play with your mind and not with heart, if you want to win in gambling.



Excitement does creep in if you start to win in gambling. Only if you are experienced gambler, you will know how to control our emotions . I have seen many new gamblers losing all money even they won big their first few bets and games.

Of course not that easy, everyone wants to stop when they're winnings. they will say Stop play and withdraw! but what happened, many players actually continued their play. each player has its own way to save their profits, and if you can't stop then set aside a few percent of your profits to play again

Everyone has their own priorities and way of playing gambling. Some people just win and quit the game. Others may take risk and take their wining to the next level. If you ever heard of anyone getting a big win out of gambling, then those are only people who take more risk and win more than normal.

Try to be your self in the gambling. You just cannot let yourself loose your nerves incase you loose or win. This has normally very bad impact on your performance. So if you are experienced and have your set limits to stop after loosing and stop after winning some money, you would really make money without getting yourself excited so much. This is a way to make money and save money. Overexcitement really is dangerous.

The problem with that Vault is that your funds are not locked and you can easily get them back immediately after you store them there. So I think the Vault option on Primedice and Stake is kind of useless since it doesn't protect you from actually spending those funds stored there

This is all about your mindset. If you have previous experience, you would be good enough to stop at gambling when you feel you would be at risk. It is a dillema when people start winning money in gambling, they want to stop but some how the lust to make more money keep them busy and greedy and they just cannot stop playing and loose in this way. You should stop after making some money in gambling which is a way to take home some money.

Yes, I agree that. That will be one thing that he can do to protect from the excitement of gambling. Besides that, he can save his money, and he doesn't have to worry about getting a loss in the gambling games. But it will be hard to do as if we know that the person is already playing in the games, they will feel that it's hard to stop because they still curious with their loss. And if they win, they want to win another round so they can make a double profit. But the truth is, they only risk their money in the gambling games.

But I am differing here, I would say there is every possibility of achieving set out plan with gambling, it all depends on the players level of self control.

Learning about the factors that can lead to spend more is not a bad idea but in most cases spending more while gambling might not fall under the factors learnt and even when it does, the player would need self-control to overcome. Self control while gambling is the only key that can keep winnings safe without getting into excitement.

Human always curious and never satisfied with anything. This is simplest thing that can describe how gambling can make people. Actually how to protect ourself is not only from  money that we use on gambling, because if we still have that money we still curious in gambling activity.

Correct, it really boils down on self-control. I don't know, but I also get excited when I won big specially in a traditional based casino, so I just cool down whenever I have the money already, just a few bets here and there if I lose then I just go home. Maybe I have experience so much losses already that whenever I won big, I just want to go home and take a rest and maybe come back the next day or next week.

There are times where self control is necessary in gambling and there are times Stopping is also necessary but like the above poster has said, In this context that means in this particular case the best would be to stop the game. This is not to mean quitting is always right but there are times this is necessary rather than waiting till the end of the game it is important to quit.

After intensive practice we may protect ourselves from not getting excitements of gambling but that will not be ensuring that we will be winning safer. It means self control will work only up to some level like it will help to prevent unnecessary excitements but it will definitely will not influence in our winning chances.

Every time when people go to casinos ensure they only carry a limited amount with them as this will help you to lose only upto that amount which you have and even if you wish to play more you would not be able to do as you do not have any money left.

That will be a big mistake that we did because it will make our life will get trouble. We cannot protect the money because we only want to keep playing gambling. And if you are very concern with your life, then you should say to yourself that you need to protect your life and your money from the excitement of gambling games.

It's hard to do that but if you can do that every time you are winning, then you have total control of your emotion, there is a saying that you should strike while the iron is hot, and this is the reason why gamblers lose their winnings they do not know when they will run out of luck.

It actually happens when you are contained by your emotions in gambling that you forget when to stop. That is why if ever you win, you should really keep some of your winning and secure it. Too much happiness, frustration, anger, greed, sometimes lead to losses. So, as long as you can try to save some of your winnings and avoid chasing your losses.

The excitement won't be big when you get a win with the predicted result. From my experience excitement will be high when the user experience an unexpected winning. By this time users should not go for consecutive betting, he needs to know the winning is of luck. Need to make use of the luck, for the same it is good to save half the winning and spend little by little, because the excitement pushes him to spend everything in a single game which is much riskier than just spending little by little.

You know this what happen to win first play I won more times of my money and I try to keep all the coins that I won in the gambling site wallet where I played. Tomorrow I decided to play again and all my won and even my capital lose . But I learned from my mistakes once I won I withdraw my capital and half of my winnings and other will be in the gambling site to keep my other winnings and my capital safe.

Gambling can be highly addictive and at that leaving huge winning plus capital on your gambling wallet may tempt you to bet huge amount which can some time result into losing all your money, what I have learn over the years is to always take each winning out and leaving a very small amount for betting at the end of each day and depositing the profits into my future wallet and this wallet I don't have password to only my wife Doe's which we have an agreement that the money is going to be use to train our unborn children. In this way of only one way in only deposits no withdrawal.

Always you need to keep your initial investment aside apart from the profit you made on gambling site. Why I am saying this, we need to avoid the greediness and stay stronger even you all your profits.
You always stay safe on investing gambling and do not get enthusiatic while gambling because if you suddenly take risk by investing for high amount you will be able to do it easily.

Most of the times you will only realize your mistakes when you already experience consequences which is already a normal thing for most gamblers to experience before they do able to learn.I highly believe that most gamblers do experience such situation where their winnings are being gambled again instead on keeping it safe or secure for that day because eventually they would come back and want for more winnings and in result those amounts do lose back on the gambling site itself.

Agree in your opinion, dont get seriously while you gamble. Just think that you gamble only to have fun and if you lucky that you have already earn a profit, then that is time to decide immediately to stop. The best you can do is learn to appreciate even a small winnings, and do not desire of a bigger winning.

Too much of everything is always not good, if you have too much emotions going on while gambling it will greatly affect your thinking and most of the time the results are bad. Thus, if you want to be a successful gambler be sure to always have self control and don' let your emotions take you.

Yes you just presented the best method to gamble but then it is always so difficult to stick by this. I know a lot of gamblers, who just want to gamble for fun, make little wins and the dash out but along the line get carried away. I am actually one of those.

I always wanted to gamble for fun, that was the main reason I entered gambling and when I started then, it was with less seriousness but along the line, I saw good chances of making money and immediately, my mentality changed to making money. I play with all seriousness but I have learnt to be careful not to fall into addicting.

Always remember that we cannot always win and when we can win, then that will be our bonus because we are having fun in the gambling game. After that, you need to leave the places as soon as possible because if you did not leave, then your chance to lose the win money will be wide open. It is better to save the money before we lose it ;D

Yea its very good to have self-control so as not to let Emotions and the fastest way to achieve self-control is by been disciplined in playing. Those who are disciplined in playing always know when to put a stop and when too continue gaming, it is discipline that would help anyone achieve this

In my opinion, I would say that before anyone can be considered fit for gambling, there should be a test carried out on their discipline and level of self-control. I think the most cases of addiction and people who lose money excessively in gambling is due to these categories of people here.

Not all gambling games are fun but some are boring and the reason why people play it is only because they want to earn a profit  . Winning on a gambling is not a bonus if you are only playing for profit and not for fun  . Playing for fun is also a good idea but too much fun can also lead to addiction which is bad as it can cause some serious issue later on   . My only suggestion is to keep all balanced   

It is nothing else but your mindset and the limits you set while gambling. If you are unbridled, you would loose huge deal in gambling but if you have the limits and if you prefer not to gamble after losing once, you might be secure. There are people who have limited funds for gambling and once the funds are gone, they just stop there and go home for the chances of losing again after losing once are high normally.

I agree, this is what some gamblers don't realize, and they lose a lot because their wrong way of thinking. When you win, it must be absolutely clear to you that this happened because of luck and not because of your strategy, prayers, magic etc. Be happy that you were lucky this time and don't push your luck again and again. There is no such thing as a "lucky hour" or "lucky day", so don't even think this way. There are lucky moments, and they are independent from one another, you can have several of them in a row, or you can wait a month for your another lucky moment. Important: Don't lose all your money during such a month. Spend on gambling each day not more than you can easily afford to lose in one day.

You are a good friend and your friend is the same to you. Anyway, in gambling we have lot of strategy on how to do the saving of winning but honestly putting it on someone's wallet especially love ones or relatives or friends is one of the most effective thing to not lose it again.

I think it should be in the mindset of the gambler who is quick and wicked in the sense that he knows how to make money. One should always have a plan B and in case you lose in gambling for the first time, you should take your time to figure out what went wrong and work on that. This way, you can really get your skills and ability to improve and you would be able to keep the excitement of win controlled without letting it affect your performance.

In other words you are suggesting you are suggesting moderation in gambling which is absolutely okay by me. I feel this is where gamblers have not been getting right. All players playing for money, want to play all their income because they want to win something big in return and players playing for fun would as well want to sit all day gambling because they want to fulfill their pleasure

I am into gambling for the money and with the so much learning’s, I have been able to learn to always set limit to avoid having my emotions control me while playing because if one is really not careful, anyone can fall victim of being either over excited to play more or too depressed not to have a retry.

I am glad to know that you haven’t been addicted yet but if you are not careful it can still happen, would only take some time. You started gambling with the purpose of entertainment and later changed purpose; I feel that is lack of focus.

To be successful in gambling, you need to first be a successful person in staying focused; gambling is a game of mind, so you need to have total control over your mind so that you can be able to master the game.

If your interest is play for fun, do it diligently and don’t be carried away with the money you see, its just shadow , you will enjoy your game better when played for entertainment and without fears of losing, this has been the way I have been playing and at the same time making little money.

Not just winning streak, any kind of winning will make every player feel excited. they feel they can win more and they will continue to play. Of course the right thing is to stop playing, to safe your profit, but how to make yourself not excited while you winning ? of course the strategy is to handle your feelings well. that will save you from being excitement

If you can do that then you will take this advantage to win over gambling house, it's a tough job as emotions really have a much harder things being controlled, you'll lose your winnings when you can't stop emotions like this, but when you practice and able to control it will be a safe gambling to you.
 

I never understood this thread until I took some time to read  the above number. Most of the things you wrote actually didn't follow from the topic, so it gave me difficult time understanding it and it is bulky too.

However, according to the above number, it is better to rely on a third party who has your interest when you are excited for your winning because you might misplace certain information, codes etc if caution is not taken in the euphoria of joy.

Not only on losing, one should also know when to stop after winning. Many people lose in gambling because they never stop after wining and they want to win everything in a single day, which is not possible.
Also if your fund is finished for gambling, we should not bring more funds by comprising our daily needs and necessity. Many people use the funds which are necessary for their living and upon losing them they have to take loan in order to run their daily activities

Exactly,  it is very hard to stop gambling most especially if your winning because the gambler will think it's a lucky day that's why they continue gambling without realizing that they are becoming greedy already. It is like they wanted to get on with the momentum, get more winnings and some may even gamble the whole thing, good if you still win but how about  if you lose - then back to square one. I really think this is still related to having self control over excitement or emotions to safeguard your winnings.

When one is into gambling it isn't that easy to have self control, because when things go away from the prediction or the selection of odds automatically gambler gets emotionally down. By this time the mind always keeps him forward to spend and get back the loss. This leads to loss, and most of the time unexpected wins give excitement and just on that people move forward hoping for further winning. This isn't a fair way of thinking with relation to gambling where limitations play a very big role.

I think that's not the point of gambling at all. If you want to lose control please do, first of all casino will love that because they are making money plus you will have the biggest fun of your life winning and losing all of that money, specially if its on a real casino but even in crypto online casinos.

The issue is how much you walk into that casino not the amount you walk out with. You can enter a casino with just 100 bucks in your pocket and go as much as 100 thousand dollars and walk out with nothing and I would call that a win because that is the reason why there are casinos, so you go in and have for hours without spending a dime for anything other than gambling.

If you go in to make money than you are not playing the game correctly, they are all fixed for the house to have an edge which means go in there expecting losing your money and bring in very few amount.

Discipline test on gamblers? You should know that it will be very hard to do this, it’s a great point though but not realistic to achieve. Who carries out the test? On what basis? And for what reason exactly. This and many more questions are what you get. Its not going to be easy.

The best idea is still to continue with campaign on gambling addiction, constant teachings on how to avoid been addicted and how setting limit in playing does not only help to reduce loses but also to prevent addiction. There will always be dumb gamblers who do not mind losing all their money in gambling because to them, they are only gambling for entertainment.

Strategy strategy and more strategy. This is what controls things when it comes to gambling. I am a fan of sports and gamble as well but I have seen these players achieving a certain state of mind which reflects pure focus and a technique that enables you to hit the bull’s eyes. So if you are experienced at gambling, you can not only control your excitement but can take your win to next levels.

I'm glad you've found a way on how to keep your winnings, this is very important because not many gamblers can do that, sometimes they are very excited when they had a long run of winning and they are trying to extend further to win more, unfortunately winning run can end anytime and you can lose all your winnings, because gambling is very unpredictable.

It's all numbers when you are in excitement. When people keep on losing or wining, they stop converting the price of bitcoin into cash. And they lose more than they could afford. One of my friend lost a year of his salary in bitcoin in a day because he was frustrated of his loss and wanted to win it all back.

Lol,  all these just for preventing yourself romance further losses while playing in casinos? There's no need for all that,  just stop being stupid and greedy and that's all. I know a lot of people who are very stupid when it comes to gambling. Whenever they start to gamble they lose their mind and start acting like fools,  even when they are losing they are still gambling and losing more money more than they started with. 

I don't take such risks,  whenever I'm gambling I don't get addicted with it,  I'm never addicted to it.  This is something I do for fun, so I don't let it take control over me rather I control it. I know when to stop and when to continue. If the day seems like a bad day, I don't go on to keep on trying my luck, I just stop it there and take what I've got.

As long as we can hold ourselves from continuing playing gambling, I guess we can keep our money and protect ourselves from the excitement. We must remember that the excitement cannot stay for a long time and sometimes, we need to end the excitement because we have another thing to do. That will be one of the many types of controlling ourselves so we can save the money from another loss and besides that, we can prevent from becoming frustrated because of our money has lost in gambling.

These all are mind games and most of the times we are not going to act in the way as we planned about what we have to do after our winnings but yes uf we can manage to control our excitement and be satisfied with what we made from the earlier bets can save our wins if we got any.

Just simply follow your game plan. Once you've reach your goal. Stop already and comeback again the other day. Don't ever attempt to bypass it because it will make you so confident that will lead you into result that you don't like. As long as you are following your plan, you are safe from over excitement and will learn on how to control yourself more.

Yes, I think I agree with you that we should always watch out for good entry first in any investment we want to do. I understand that procrastination is a thief of time like the OP said, but that doesn’t mean we should always buy any value we see is good without making proper analysis of the coin market first.

This market is one you cannot predict and the moment you miss out of the bottom, entry point becomes very difficult and more strategy is required in knowing the best time to buy, which is why I would not still blame those who didn’t invest in binance when it was $20, the market looked overbought then.

Right. It always starts with one's mindset. Every plan to withdraw from a game won't work unless you are really committed to that plan.

Tip #2 of entrusting a friend or relative your money is a good idea. Just make sure that they are really trustworthy and would handle it well for you. It's just some of our friends or relatives also has an immediate need of money so there is a tendency that they would loan it from you.

Anyway, it's all in the mind and if there's a will, there's a way.

LOL humorously hitting the nail on the head. Very nice one bro. Honestly some people gamble as if they want to buy an immediate property with the money and they have to do everything to meet up , so they could try with every damn money till the account is drained. That’s a very terrible way to play games and I always wonder why such level of desperation

I would say that you are not addicted because you play for fun but basically because you have self-control. Even some people without self-control sometimes fall into the category of uncontrollable gamblers, the best is for every gambler to learn how to subject their emotions under control.

Well, it is good that you have worked something out for you, but people often get over-excited and it is very difficult for them to keep their winnings safe, once they start winning a few big ones.

Indeed, some gamblers cant refrain themselves to keep playing especially if you feel you're lucky for that particular day.

It will only work if you have self control and aware of your limitation.

I dont gamble often and I think its the best way to prevent myself for being greedy, win or lose I stop once my spare time is already over.

If you are intoxicated in the game, and you are not disciplined, that can quickly become a fatal. You always invest more if you win or even all at once, which ends up in total loss. Discipline and no euphoria can be the reason why the biggest protection against oneself is what one can or should do. Also, a knit plan of what you win and what is used by this profit back to play should protect against the total loss. Even if the profits are still so high you should always keep in mind or even think about investing only what you can really lose. Maybe Invest only 25% from every win should be working. Protecting yourself starts with that when you start playing and you have already locked your bank account and credit card so it couldnt be taken out of there to play! If you just reactivate both and you are happy.

The thing I always do to protect myself from excitement is to be excited. What I mean is, you have to make sure that excitement won't affect your strategy and decision making. Excitement isn't so much bad. But you have to make sure to think before you move and think after you get excited. "Emotions" has a lot of effect on a decision. But I can tell that the people who get excited while gambling is a newbie(s).

First I want to thanks for sharing your expirience and Idea if how to protect ourself form excitement when its comes to gambling game. Well, Im very happy for you because base on your gambling expirience you learn a lot from it and become much better, now you know how to save more money not too lose more, I have you continue to be like that and thanks for your friend to helped to a lot form your problem from the start.

It happens I have a winning run, in a color game was winning a lot and ready to go home, but something in my mind tells me to come back and have one last bet, I lose on the next bet and one thing leads to another until I found out I almost lost everything, you really need to moderate your greed.

Such things mostly happened to every gamblers who can't resist the temptation and enticement inside the gambling house, that's how important controlling your emotions and keep sticking with your plans, strategy will only works if you can overshadowed your self, knowing when to stop keeping yourself to a much better position.

this! dont know how many times i kept on playing on sports and teams i realy had no clue about just to get some more action after a good or bad day.
just stay away when its not matches where you have a edge.

if you don't have the self discipline to set aside a portion of your winnings then its better to ask someone to go with you when you gamble. This way you can avoid going home empty handed because someone is with you to constantly remind you that you need to stop. If you play online, there are sites out there who will remind you of your plans.

  It is not very easy so it is in fact human nature that makes you vulnerable to excitement and emotions and you play again to win again once you win some money. It is a neural response to the feelings that you derive from a win and afterwards, the situation you might deal in the game might be different and you might lose. So it is always a good idea to have a limited stake and limited drive to gamble.

All things should really be on moderation and let yourself be aware on what you are doing.Emotions does really give a big effect

on someones mind which would motivate or trigger out something which leads into actions which is playing gambling once again.

We thought we are so lucky and we are competing with the household. When we are hitting the winning streak, we thought that we need to increase the bet. Until we don't know that our profits already lose. After that, we think that we can collect again the profits by betting the capital. When it lose, we try it in a next game. If it wins, we bet again and again.

We have to know that gambling isn't for everyone and I know not all of us wants to gamble.
I'm not really much engage in gambling cause I know my self that gambling isn't for me since before. I often to play card games during my high school life but I've lose a lot than of winning this means that if I stay in gambling I will only just lost everything I have that it makes me to stop.

I'd done reading how many pages on this thread, one thing they are the same thought that we must have our own self-discipline. Controlling emotion is depend on you how you manage with it, you must keep and save that you had won in gambling and set limitation amount that you would spend on that day. Be matured enough and think about the value of money and don't let all lose just because of gambling.

Right. It all depends on one's self-control and discipline. Excitement will surely come when you have made winnings already so do not be too greedy to gamble again and do not let your profits be steal from you and be back to casinos. Learned how to be satisfied and be responsible to secure your winnings and keep safe them all the time.

The greatest thing to be done is controlling your emotions. Whether you lose or win, stop once you get to that predefined point you have marked yourself. Never ease the restrictions on any circumstances. If you can't control your emotions, just unplug and leave your device. If you think you are not being able to do it yourself, ask for help.

Think the outcome when you get greedy and lose anything you've won. Think how difficult it is to earn money. When you're already winning in gambling don't expect to hit the jacpot even more. Quit as soon as possible. Casino and gambling websites works that way, they are tempting you on winning streaks to bet more.

It means it control our emotion. But maybe when win in gambling games, we will be very excited. And then curious come, we think we can win more or maybe use our win price is something that wouldn't disturb our capital. Then before we know, we lose all of our money.

Our brain cannot do a normal analyse of what is happening in the moment when we are winning a lot and we are extra excited.I am not sure but I think our brain in this very moment emitts endocrine a substance which keep your adrenaline higher and also makes you attractive to the opposite sex but this second fact is no important here because as long as the adrenaline is higher you will want to continue gambling and drinking if you happen to be in an offline cssino.

This is a very good tip but unfortunately it is not the usual mindset of a gambler.

Gamblers should really think about how much they earn in a day or per month.
If you are able to replicate that by pressing the button on your mouse in just a few seconds you should be happy with that and take your winnings and go away.

It would be good if they can do that, most of the time when gamblers win they do think of getting away with the winning but part of them is saying to gamble more which they would do always. And then if they lose it, that is the only time they will realize their mistake but it is already to late because they lost it already. It is easy to say stop but for gamblers, it is very hard.

I personally don't understand, how it can be hard? Everyone knows that losing is more likely to happen than winning. When you start playing you are hoping to win, that's your goal, apart from having fun from the game. If, by lucky chance, you win, your both goals reached, you had fun and you won. What else do you need? I mean stop playing for the day, withdraw your winnings and enjoy. Go for reaching your goals in other than gambling fields.

Our more winning is depend on our bankroll, if we could afford it then doesn't matter who much we loss the money because we have a lot of capital to play game, but if we have less capital then better to quit and don't greedy because the next step is definitely our loss of money. 

It will be easy if we are accustomed to making it, withdrawing the winning money as soon as possible, as our habit. But for those who are greedy enough, they will continue to play in the hope to get better profits that sometimes will lead them to the great regret in the end.

Every people have their own responsible to control themself.
IMO it's easy to do it except if your greed or something blow your mind able to change your attitude.
When I won 0.09 with 1000 sat, I'm satisfy and not keep gambling until I have right time ( after 1-2 months usually)

Two vital reason mostly fails the gamblers. They are greediness and panicking, simply if you control your emotion and invest in gambling site very few in numbers. You will be able to keep your fund safe.
I suggest everyone to take gambling as the entertainment usage only. If you take gambling investment as serious you will not sustain for long time.

Nothing we can do except controlling ourselves in the gambling games, especially if we can win the big prizes. But unfortunately, human nature will always tell ourselves that we can continue the game so we can win bigger money. That will tempt you to try to play in the next minute and first, you only use small money but then you will use medium and bigger money to play. And if you cannot realize and quit right away, you will lose all of the money in a long time.

You're right cause in most cases greed and thirst for was what lead to some unable to control themselves or keeping the winning safe but you saying it easy to control oneself when gambling is something I don't agree with cause the game buzz is hard to control some time. Although, free time gambler can easily control themselves

You're somehow right but the main reason why most gambler failed was because of their indiscipline and not letting go act which literally lead to the greed, emotion imbalance, panicking etc.

There are different between investing in gambling site and play game of chance. But investing in gambling site bankroll is nice

No matter what someone is being tough, they usually won't listen until they get experience.
There's a saying where I live about the best teacher being the experience.

Controlling emotions you haven't get used to feel is hard.

Right.It's really hard to control your own emotions when you are not used to it especially if you are in the moment of excitement and thrill.Because of this,your own greediness might lead you to a negative result.But if you chose to control your own greed,you might end up in gambling more money in your pocket than leaving it all empty.

Agree, I have experienced this so that I have no control and assume I will easily get a victory, study for myself and not be overpowered by greed because it will make depression because losing everything will definitely happen if we have no control.

Bankroll, it is right but if someone play all money and aim for big profit, it can make him lose all money instanly. All depend on how we control ourself even with low capital, if play little by little,(usually at the end we still lose all money) but maybe can enjoy the game.

That is a very big win and that should take care of how much you have lost in the past if there is any. I think you have a very good strategy of giving yourself some time before gambling again after a very good winning. However, my strategy is gambling with very small amount and spread it over many opportunities. At this if I win few I will be in good profits and if that happens sometime I will just invest with my profits and safe my capital and I adopted this strategy last two weeks.

My higher preference in gambling is sports betting. Most of the time I go with the lower odds on games between two teams. This way we can have increased winning percentage compared to the higher odd selection. With this what we get as profit is low, and with this it is always good to bet on further games the amount that is won. If I haven't won I used to stop gambling for the day which seems to be the best way to stay away from excitement and be on the safe winning.

Gambling strategy is needed when you are in a winning side, keep your profits together with your capital while you still have the chance,
don't be greedy and too excited to win more but instead get something and stay out and enjoy your profits, be back when you are in good
mindset in keep it that way.

I have the same experienced as you in the first time I know gambling. I feel that I am very difficult to control myself, even if I am trying to stop the game for a while. When I came back to play, it seems I become greed, but fortunately, I have so many friends who always remind me to use gambling as a fun activity.

That's a very unique way to protect your winnings might do that it looks effective since you have proven how effective this is, this is one of the problems that confront gambler and it always happens to me, how to protect my winning, there is always a devil in me that says keep on you are still in luck in your next roll or bet, that's where things get ugly.

That is human greed. I've also experienced that when I am gambling very often few years ago. When I'm having winning streaks it's very difficult to stop because your mind is tempting you to bet more. If you let your greed consume you, it will also eat your winnings together with your capital.

We have that experience, and I am sure that not just both of you have the same experience. In gambling, we all have a greediness experience, and the difference is we can learn how to control our greediness, so we don't attract to deeper in the gambling games. Once we lose control of greediness, we cannot hold ourselves back to stay away from gambling, and we will go to the deep of gambling.

We need to protect ourselves in gambling so we can hold our emotion, especially greediness, and we can hold ourselves for using more money to bets. If we can do that, then we can play gambling without the worry of losing control.

I know what you talking about here, and let me tell you sometimes it's really hard to resist the feeling of excitement when we're in winning streak. There are just one way to keep your winnings safe, it`s to stand up and leave when you win amount you are satisfied with. Don`t set up some high goals, making maximum 50% of your amount is not a high goal, x2 and higher is a high goal, to be clear on that.

For me it's okay to set up high goals as long as it's doable.
I'm using just a simple technique, which is to stop when I hit the target and we need discipline and focus in order to do that effectively.
There's no room for greedy people in gambling as we will never be successful if we have that kind of bad attitude.

We can never know whether we are in the middle of a winning/losing streak or not. We can talk about streaks only post factum. Everyone would stop playing knowing that he/she is in the middle of losing streak, and would continue betting being in the middle of winning streak, but that's kind of knowledge we can never have. So, forget about streaks and concentrate on your balance. If it's two times higher than before starting - quit for the day. If it became zero, quit for the day either, don't deposit more. That's it.

Well that's somewhat an extreme but surely, having to access that fund from a multi-sig wallet is definitely going to put a damper on your excitement. The thing is, you would still need discipline. Your cosignee isn't hovering around you to poke you to make sure to send any winnings.

Wouldn't it be nice if there's a casino feature that automatically send a part of your winnings to a predetermined address?

My solution was to create a paper wallet and withdraw some funds to it. I wasn't able to withdraw that easy from the paper wallet so j had saved a lot in a few months. ;-)

Very insightful! These tips would definitely help individuals suffering from addiction to winning. But you need to be reminded as well that everything starts from discipline and self-control. Without these essential factors, people may be more prone to betting their winnings and eventually losing them slowly. If I may add, I think it would also be beneficial if people would set a limit to their allowable bets per day and secure them on an external paper wallet.


Experiencing a winning-streak satisfies the mind completely, hindering your judgement and risking everything for money albeit dangerous if you do not have any self-discipline. Knowing your goals and setting a maximum allowable bet can solve this problem.

You need to become a borderline sociopath to be a really good gambler. Set yourself targets & try not to have emotions whilst gambling. Make sure you know when to get out & that means when you’re doing well not just when you’re on a loser.

After you have won for some time and have a nice profit there comes a time when you start losing and that is where you are the most vulnerable and should stop betting for a while until you are not emotional anymore. The reason is you get upset for losing some of your profit, then you start reasoning that you can make up the loss and still have the same profit. You think that since you are losing profits its ok to keep going b/c you are not playing with the money you started but with the profit. Then you start making aggressive bets that you wouldn't have made with the money before the profit. If you end up losing those aggressive bets you get angry and increase the bet amount again something you wouldn't have done before..Then before you realize it you lose your whole profit and then that makes you even more upset and vulnerable, and you say to yourself oh well it's my play money I don't mind losing it I made a profit before and you keep betting and lose that too. What I used to do is after I make a profit, once I start losing I stop for a week then come back if i Keep losing stop for another week and it helped me maintain my cool. There have been times where with the losses I have been at a plus for months, and then I have had more losing than winning for months, but I have always taken a break between the losses and has helped me keep my cool and not get emotional.

Not all would really have that kind of emotion-less while you are doing gambling yet this is the primary thing that

would really be mainly affected along the way specially seeing our funds lost while we play.So it do really matter on
how a certain individual is really good on controlling everything not only on emotional but also into decision making itself.

Honestly, it really hard to resist the excitement feelings when luck is on ones side when gambling, setting an actual target either is also not what ones needed in such state because the game could change anytime but what's needed is not to be greed, been discipline and listen to your heart when it said to let go or else the target technique will fail you.

That is a common mistake to the most gamblers. It is really tempted while we saw money in our pocket. To set limitations and self-control is very hard when don't take it seriously. It is very to commit of having self-control but we can make it little by little until we finally reach our goal. It is somewhat in a hard way but surely we can make it if we want things to happen.
