For most people (myself included), gambling at online casino's is a harmless pass time fun activity, but of course it can become a problem for many.   IMO, to lessen the risk of becoming a problem gambler, there are certain things i bear in mind such as,

• Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money  :)
• Setting myself a gambling goal
• I Bet small  (don't blow all your money at once)
• I practice gambling with friends  ;D
• Set time limits and walk away  ::)

Many of these are easier said than done of course but it might be worth noting.   Online gambling is probably the best thing to happen since sliced bread  ??? and i'm not saying these points could or would work for everyone but they might help in enjoying gambling in a healthy, financially sensible way.

I'm interested to know how you keep tabs and control on your gambling to make sure that one does not become a compulsive gambler or problem gambler.  

i go by my rules, which change on different games but the general idea is to set a min. balance that you can go and the realistic money goal
once i hit one of them i quit

I believe this kind of topic has been discussed many times before and the main idea of all above points is "self control". Once you have good self control, you wont be addicted even if you gamble regularly.

Lots of threads regarding on this topic, have a time on reading up this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1595920.0 and you will able
to see those replies which would definitely answer or satisfy your questions on mind. Gambling sensibly might be easy as it sounds when you are
already in the middle then everything will surely change.

Set time limits and at the same time, set gambling amount. Whenever you win a decent amount, take a rest and exit for that day.

Yes, self control would be the summary of it.

The most important thing you should have in gambling game is controlling yourself. Nothing else. By controlling yourself, you will be able to know when it's time to quit, how much money you can use in the bets and else. Controlling yourself will not easy to do because you need to have a strong mind to be able to stop in anytime.

Self constraint is the biggest asset when it comes to gambling. If you are able to not chase your losses, not gamble when drunk or sleepy. Get some statistics and look at the odds on different platforms and decide accordingly, then you can be profitable. It is very hard though as greed pretty much always kicks in. 

Honestly, i find online gambling as more tempting and harder to control than of physical casinos. It is because of the convinience it brings that you can even gamble by lying on bed. Multiple accessibilities can literaly makes quitting harder. So if you dont want to get addict, better play moderately.

Every one should set his own rules.I have my own rules which are very simple, when playing slots or dice I have a very small amount of money available to play.

Whenever I play poker which I consider a game of skill at 75% and 25% luck I play without any limitation because I am in control.

Rules should be like an access list , they should define what you can and can't do in order to minimize risk of getting addicted.

There are gamblers who can't just walk away from that easily. Some do walk away while others walk away and are back again to play on the same day. It's really hard for some gamblers to control themselves when they are in a deep loss. They say that gambling takes away time and setting up a time limit will not be taken into consideration by gamblers.

 ::) ;D that is called addiction. When you don't have control against a habit, that simply means you are addicted to that. Just like smokers, until they are remedied from the act by a certain circumstances.

If you are able to set time limit and not go over it again, then you are not a gambler  ;D

Addiction to gambling will come as a result of indiscipline on the part of the gambler. Have been into gambling and have always gamble responsibly watching my addiction level offcourse. Self discipline have save many gambler from heart attack and high blood pressure, so, for an individual to gamble securely and sensibly online, s/he must adopt the self discipline methodology.

Well, for most people they don't really know what is a play for fun because they seriously caught up in gambling. Gambling is not meant to be played to make some money but to play and enjoy the game without losing everything in it. It is a dangerous idea if someone had to push their luck just because they want to follow their losses.

I tend to just quit gambling when I feel that I'm gambling too much.
I've lost a couple times lately and decided that I'm going to quit gambling for a couple of weeks at least.

I don't have any issues with quitting over an extended period of time, I think it really helps prevent me getting addicted.

In my country, gambling is prohibited. That is why i don't have choice to gambling online and with Bitcoin, it can be really helpful for me. Only bet on sportsbet mostly glad not make me addicted because not like dice or casino games, it can make people keep curious how to win and get addicted.

That's what bitcoin brings to the table not just in gambling but in many forms of transaction. No need for any card numbers, no need ids, no need for facial verification. You only have your random wallet address which makes it more secure than any regular gambling site's security protocol.

Indeed, this kind of rule is very common in everyone's mind, but it is a very good thing to anticipate future risks if you do it on an ongoing basis, I just suggest not gambling often because it will be dangerous and not make gambling the main income for only a few people who benefit from those who succeed in gambling, articles like this are worth sharing because they remind each other that it's good.

This your own experience on gambling usage but here nothing explained about the gambling security or sense kind of things.


All the gamblers need to have 2FA or any other available security features while they gamble on any sites. Always keep checking the support team if you miss any fund while are gambling check whether they are paying in few minutes or long hours.

Always set up limits on your funds and just bring the money that is solely budgeted for your gambling needs and dont go overboard incase you had lost it all.

Dont try to chase loses(which is a common advise) but the hardest thing to resist when you are playing and you know that you still have some money left on your pocket.

The question still remains "if we can play gambling for fun"? It seems very difficult because of the money involved as is going to remain the game of the rich if it is just for fun.  I believe that about 80% of gamblers do gamble because to win and become rich through luck.

Considering gambling to be fun is possible, to the same one should have the clear understanding about the flaws one does with gambling. When one has got the ability to follow the steps provided by Op it'll get us with the easy access and minimize the losing which is the one that eliminates the fun mood of an user.

These are all good points but it's hard to keep up and follow, this because in the back of our minds, there is a thought that must strike while the iron is still hot, and there's always a tendency to get back what you lose in the previous, it just goes on and on until you become addicted.

Gamble for fun not for win it is also what I believe .
I gamble to relieve some stress but sometimes it is the other way around 😂 .
It is alway better to limit yourself when it comes to gambling,
You should know when to quit don't be too greedy or else you would only lose it all.

I set aside a small monthly budget that I use for gambling with my Bitcoin.
I send those coins to a temporary blockchain wallet and then will send them to a casino
At no point do I try to make up for lost wagers by chasing and sending more coins to the casino.
As long as I can maintain this types of control I dont see a problem with my habit.

Very true indeed.   To an extent, our individuality plays a big role in how we handle the 'play for fun' narrative.   If i should use myself as an example, i get easily excited but not so easily discouraged.   I find in most cases, the means if i win a bet, i'm likely to go even bigger (dangerous i know) whereas, if i lose, there is that feeling of 'i'll win the next one', and then it just goes on and on like you say. 

Even though i know 'walking away' is a very important aspect in gambling, i feel it is perhaps the most difficult one.

The idea is good, it will help gamblers not to be addicted, but we need to act on it, not just read it.
For some gamblers, although they can know what to do to be safe in gambling, but they still allow themselves to be aggressive.
When you are aggressive on winning, you are also risking big money in gambling, and eventually there is a chance
that will loss control and might spend bigger than you are suppose to spend.

Sometimes even if we set rules like these we don't follow it at all due to excitement or being greedy and such, I sometimes do this and bet all of my money, win or lose I will go home with no regrets. I don't what kind of attitude is this but I don't stop and still continue this kind of habit leaving me zero at balances at gambling sites. Gambling online is fun, unlike the real one where we have to go to a casino or a group of poker playing mobs, one day I won at a poker game and when I was going home I felt like I was being followed by someone that had lost the game, so that gave me creeps and never played again.

that is what you call an iresponsible gambler  . thats bad and that is the number cause of addiction  . you know its bad but you still continue   . i experienced that before and i believe others also experienced that but i somehow recovered from that habit . if i can do you can also  do . its not too late to change for the better  .


yeah . gambling online is fun but i think playing gambling outside ( offline ) is even more fun because you can meet and great actual people . you can have a bonding with your friends while walking or travelling to the casino of your destination  .


too bad for you  . next time try to bring some one , for extra safety  . or better play online if you are alone   .

Most of the time even you have this kinds of mindset, chances of failing to properly execute everything is always there, greediness mostly cause everything being take place, only those who have a good mind control can take advantage and take the winnings.

It should be read and think smarter, always take full responsibility of your actions.

Online gambling games do provide a different attraction when we play offline. With the online system, we can do it much easier, we can play whenever and wherever we are. it is a revolutionary in the gambling game system and we get such extraordinary flexibility. Now anyone can play and feel pleasure when playing gambling.

I would use a smart wallet if available. The wallet should enable me place limits on the amount I  gamble with daily.  Once I reach the limit, the wallet automatically locks the funds until  next next day or week

That's actually not a bad idea, I wonder if something like that already exists?
I mean, you already have the ability to time-lock a Bitcoin transaction and I know several other cryptocurrencies have similar functions like that.

With my Steem account, I can also lock however much Steem I want for either 3 or 7 days, which is pretty handy.

This is true.
I guess one of the solutions to this is  to recreate what makes the physical gambling harder to reach. You could block all gambling websites or ads on all your computers, phone and other Internet devices

I don’t think a day can pass by without Bitcoin forum having a new member, so having a related copy is not a problem as long as it’s not copy and paste and I know we have the interest of our fellow mates at heart so any post to protect everyone from been addicted is highly welcomed on this section, I personally can never get tired of dropping comments on such post.

Point no: 5 is my favorite of them all. I always do this. Once I exceed my limit for the day, no amount of temptation or urge to play can bring me back. It means the end of the game for the day and this has really been  helpful especially to gain self-control in the game.

No matter how securely and sensibly we want to do gambling, we just get carried away in gambling and then these two words become totally irrelevant to us.

These two word can be put to use if any gambler put into use self discipline and control over the game. Although am a par-time gambler still yet am able to discipline myself towards been carry away. Gambling responsibly and sensibly is very much possible but it depend on the gambling to apply self discipline.

yes you are right it is the normal thing that everyone need to follow while entering into gambling because we are attracting from the gambling but we need to be careful with limitations and the way of controlling our self it must be the most important thing to be followed from every investors in this time after getting involved with gambling.

sensible is the most act Word for tablet because if we need to be more profitable person in gambling that sensible came will always helpful from distraction and it will be the most important thing to get success.

Now it is an easy access to gamble.
Online gambling had been booming for a lot of years by now and it is upgrading.

Lots of games had been created too and I never knew that dice will be one of them.
Before I dont even play dice but now I consider it as one of the fastest method to make money.

But you are correct, it should not be that way.
There is no fun anymore when you are thinking about profit first.
Got to go back from where you started.
Just have fun and do it because you enjoy it, then there would be no stress out of it.

That’s too hard to follow step by step because we all have different mindset while playing. Some may think just to have fun at first but after losing money they will become more greed to chase that losses and they are now aiming for the money. Gambling online is so easy now, and its easy to lose money nowadays.

Practice everything you learned will be a good precautions not to allow yourself being careless, gambling is an entertaining venue for people who knows
to play responsibly, while for before who always been drive by emotions, too risky losing huge amounts of bankroll.

Yeah every gamblers there have an own rules how to control itself,  self discipline is one of the keys to follow and avoid addction. And I really agree gambling isn't only for fun people play gamble because of money goal.

If you know you don't have good self-control in the first place, don't gamble. It's just not worth the risk of getting addicted and spending more than you can afford to lose; there are plenty of other things you can do for entertainment online, but gambling's definitely not for everybody.

If you are new to gambling, start out with a small amount and don't bet more than you can afford or more than you have set aside for gambling. If you lose it all, don't put more money in to make it back. Instead, find something else to do and perhaps come back to gambling when you've got more money you can afford to spend and you've gotten over the loss. Also realize you'll realistically you'll never make a consistent profit gambling due to house edge.

Before start to gamble I always set my limit and have a clear mindset that I am going to used that money for fun not to make profit, so when I lose I don't try to cover my lost by betting bigger, self control and discipline play a very vital part to keep you away from addicted

When we are playing gambling, we need to have control ourselves, and the OP has a great example that every gambler should have. They need always to remember that gambling as a fun thing and not a way to search for money.

Gambling will always attract people to come back, but if you have good control in yourself, then it would not be a problem for you. You can always know that for playing gambling, you don't need to play in a long time because you only search for the fun. And when you think that it is enough to play, you can quit from gambling in anytime.

I always watching myself in gambling and no matter if I win or lose, I can walk away from gambling places without having a passion for keeping playing. It is hard for the first time, but as long as you can know that you have control for your body and mind, then you can visit gambling place in anytime and quit it anytime too.

Well, I think your kind of ideology is what leads to compulsive gambling. In the game of gambling if you have the mindset of I can win more then you are just on your way to loosing the ones you have gotten and when you have the mentality of I can always win again, then you  keep trying and probably keep on losing.

I really think that is very risky but I don’t know how long you  been doing this and how much it has worked for you, but left for me, when I win am just grateful for that day and if I lose, I do not even make attempt to recover, I let it go and this has helped me greatly. I think it’s better to do this so that you will not have record of loses on gambling. 

that is if a gambler is playing for fun but the truth is that most of the gamblers are only playing because they want to earn quick and easy profits  .


if  a gambler is playing for fun he or she will always comeback because having fun is highly addictive  . gambling will stick to your brain causing you to think  it at all times but if you have a controll , you wont get addicted  .


why limit your self ? if you are having fun and or if you are winning its okay to try again  . youl never know maybe you can win again  or maybe you can enjoy more  . just dont overdo it  .

Yes, there has limit to play the game for myself.. it because the lucky isn't everytime we got or otherwords you will lose.

If for example I have never met a bad experience during my gambling habits, maybe I can't do what I did these days. Right now, I always bet every time I have spare money and definitely I use only small part of it. If I lose it all, then I will stop gambling until I have another small capital from my spare money. Sometimes I'm also lucky and able to withdraw my profits. I will try to keep stable with my plans as long as I can.

Addiction can be trace from the act of gambling insecurely and insensibly online even at the traditional level. The more reason why young people have rising gambling addiction as at today is as result of not knowing their limit while on gambling platform. Gamble securely, gamble sensibly and be free from gambling addiction.

Don't plan if you do gamble when it comes to making stable profits on it but if those plans in regards with self control then it would be a big help.Always play gambling
with full control not only to yourself but also into your emotions because if you cant control these both things then expect on what would happen.

This is far much easier said than done. Bitcoin gambling can easily fall out of control, and bad habits quickly turn into addiction. I think no gambling is better than little.

This is debatable. I would love to know how do you allot percentages of 75% and 25% to the respective categories in Poker. What if someone does not believe in luck and consider it a matter of all experience and handwork ?

Moreover, I agree with your rules thing because you have to have set rules to get the purpose oriented results that is never possible when it comes to a game played without rules. Being sensible and gambling are two different extremes and we cannot be sure about always being sensible for a thing which is known for fading away our brain. Yes, I refer the excitements of gambling ;).

Greed has a major part of affecting those who enter gambling with a right mindset, except it is well controlled. some players claim they are playing for fun and when they make a little win, they become so excited and start playing more because they intend to win more and with time they would forget all the set rules and regulations of the game. Anyone who is does  not have self control will have problems with gambling, better to work on this.

Gambling is a game of fun and whatever fun that is done without control can also lead to addiction, so it is possible to play for fun with all set rules and still end up addicted if not controlled. For me I play for fun and I set limit when playing and irrespective of how the game might unfold, I don’t exceed my limit.

..it is very simple..don't make yourself addictive in gambling.. ;D
..gamble for fun and not for winning..for the more you crave for win,when you lost the more you will bet high which cause you to gamble much and worst lost all that you have..
..make sure that you have set the money that you are afford to lose..
..have peace on your mind while do gambling so that you can think better strategies in playing..

Ofcourse gamblers gamble for money just like most people in any other kind of business.  Few actually combine fun and monetary rewards.  I think this set of people (those gambling for rewards and fun) could end making a career out of skill based gambling

The only problem that I see with online gambling is its accessibility. This factor alone is both a positive and a negative factor depending on one's perspective. Compared to casinos, online gambling provides convenience and flexibility since it can be accessed solely on the internet. But the problem lies on temptation. If a person is on withdrawal, he/she is one click away from gambling again.

Although this may be viewed as something negative, the positive effect outweighs the negative implications. View gambling as a form of entertainment and not as something that you should rely your daily-monthly income.


In order to cure addiction, a gradual withdrawal is needed. The hobby must be switched into something recreational that distracts the mind from accessing it. With the emergence of online casinos, people are most likely tempted as it is one click away.

There's some who are really making this two combined, they able to enjoy while playing smartly with their money, outcome is different when you value money and outsmart your emotions, by the way it's really entertaining when you are winning while enjoying your stay.

Then they make a mistake if they think gambling is a way to earn quick money and easy profit and I think they need to change their mind, so they don't have to lose much money.



As long as they have a control for themselves, they don't have to worry from addicted because they can know the time to quit gambling and they will have that power to stop the games in anytime.



I limit myself is because I don't want to lose much money and besides that, I don't think that in the next rolls I will win because the luck cannot be predicted when it's on my side and when it's leaving me.

Whatever you are saying is quite easy to say, but trust me its extremely hard to execute.
Then gamble on sites that use virtual currency and has no value at all. Again, if you start winning, you will no longer gamble for fun rather to gain profits.
Those goals are the real problem. People starts to gamble more after losing to reach those goals!
You slowly start to increase those limits without even realizing and eventually you become an addict.

What I am trying to say is that, there is no such thing as gambling for fun. If you want to do something for fun, there are plenty of ways other than gambling.

Yes, there was a point I was really having fun gambling, and sincerely I had the game in mind as a game for entertainment and I think luck was greatly on my side, I realized I was always winning and instead of keeping it, that was when greed stepped in, I started to increase the bets because I needed to make more and with time all what I had won was lost and I kept on playing because I want to recover again, and I realized the losses where compiling.

I thank God for the intervention of friends who called my attention to it that I was gradually on the way to addition,  that was when I stepped down. I think greed is really bad for gambling

Oh wow, that's a positive and interesting point turn of events to what could have easily gone the other way as well.  With the right support system, some do get the chance to step back and change course.  Recently here in the U.K, there is talk of changes to the laws on fixed-odds betting.  Which is like a massive problem here and in other countries i imagine.  Funny enough, not everyone is happy with the change in law whereby maximum stake on fixed odd betting terminals is now £2.  Apparently those terminals generate over £400 million in taxes alone  ??? ??? for the government.

When the technology is developing sequel the gambling field are also developing much more which is the same like their technical things and when it comes to online it will be more safe and Secure our days to invest your savings are your income in gambling and make it more safer gambling so I think it will definitely need to improve a lot when the technology also improving it's definitely needed here in this time to made huge promotion.

I would say that the easiest way to keep tabs and control on gambling is kick starting the game with the right motive which was what the op has mentioned as number one. See gambling as a game of fun and not a source of income. I think this first idea help make setting limits and staying by it so easy.

Gambling is fun, once you win, celebrate it and avoid the mistake of playing again to win more and once a loss is made, let go and don’t  have the mind of a comeback to recover, this is what causes people to become addicted gamblers. And its necessary to have self control because the game can be so interesting and at the same time addictive, so it takes self-control to set rules and abide by the rules.

I am not a frequent gambler. Usually when we talk about being secure is be secured from getting hacked. I read your points and it reminded me of my first play with bustadice. Though i was loosing a little while learning , I boldly took a step forward betting with more bucks carefully ad earned

I am not a frequent gambler. Usually when we talk about being secure is be secured from getting hacked. I read your points and it reminded me of my first play with bustadice. Though i was loosing a little while learning , I boldly took a step forward betting with more bucks carefully and earned

In my opinion to the best way I keep tabs and ensure I do not end up an addicted gambler because I understand the addictive side of the game is to enter with a positive mindset, which I do by following the first rule of playing the game for entertainment. It makes me see whatever cash I need to put into the game as a bill for my gate pass to play, so once its expired I am out for the day. No hard feelings and no intention to replay.

Also on my lucky days, I simply smile, keep my money and I would still quit when necessary and see take whatever I got as benefit. I try to overrule the thought of playing again for more wins after a win is made or going to recover money when I lose, that is not the mindset of one playing for entertainment.

At least you are sure that whatever you won for the day is safe and whatever that is lost is gone and  you will at least not loose any further. But by thinking of playing further, you are not even guaranteed to win again. I am not greedy, I set my limit for each game, although it can be tempting to have a replay when there is winning but that is where self control and discipline now comes to play. It is very important to have self control and it is self control that will help to say No when it looks like Yes is needed. Self discipline is very important for those who set limit in gambling. Those who do not have self control will definitely disobey because of the urge to always replay.

SSL certificate is there in all the gambling site and then security information also has been published in most of the website. All the favourite sites available for the gambling is secured to invest out fund on gambling.

When there is investment you should sensible too.

In that factor you can choose the best site as per the knowledge has been shared in this forum alone.

The OP is right about the things you need to keep yourself be reminded of.
But you will just realize these things on your own if at some point in your life, you lost significantly in gambling.
And that would be a good lesson for you to stop chasing big things you want in gambling.
And just stick to the basics, use gambling for your entertainment purposes only and not a money-making machine.

Gambling has more side effect when an individual deviate from the true meaning of gambling. And the true meaning of gambling is; gambling securely and sensibly to avoid the spirit of depression. Taken gambling as entertainment, come the winnings as you enjoy yourself as individual. Gambling with this tips will save a gambler from embarrassment from friends and family members. 

I set my own rules and limitations when gambling.

*I always remind my self not to be greedy and never be careless, especially when I am winning.
*I keep my self aware whenever I feel I am being greedy, when I notice signs that I am being greedy, I pass a bet and smoke for a while to cool down ;D.

 *Never to chase my losses, this sometimes leads me to even more losses.

*Know your limitations, and when to quit. I know  that whenever I am lucky it doesn't last for a whole day. So, just a few sequence of losses, I quit and take away  what I can.

I have a lot more, I hope this can help other gamblers in setting their own rule and to lessen greed when gambling.

The part where "I practice gambling with friends" is the one that I don't follow, the rest I follow like my house rules. If I play with my friends, then I already blow my security as I don't let other people know that I gamble. this is the reason why I chose online gambling than traditional gambling, so that others will not judge you and criticize you on your way of spending your time and money.

Your advices might be very helpful particularly to newbies in gambling. For me, once you go into gambling it is very important to evaluate yourself first if you are ready to make some losses in gambling. Because if not, don't bother to gamble anymore. Gambling might be profitable as your kind of entertainment but once you expect an income from it, then it might only give you trouble in the end.

Could you be more specific on the results of practicing gambling with friends? I have been thinking it would only create more bad to our gambling activity. For me, I play with only my expandable income. The one I set aside for entertainments. If I am experiencing consecutive loses then I will walk away. This helps me to avoid rage betting.

In my opinion I think gambling with friends can be more fun and entertaining and it can help a player control a player from getting addicted since friends always get each other’s back.

It reminds me of onetime I went gambling with my friends and it was such an interesting game, I kept on increasing and double betting uncontrollably until a friend of mine quickly called my attention out. He saved me that day from not spending all the money I had and that would have really been painful because I lost.

This is what i'm also doing.I just set an amount for gambling and if i lose them totally,then i just go home and relax.Same with times that i win a decent amount of profit,i also went home immediately because for sure if i gamble again,it will just go back to the casino's owner as expected.

Some people are having problems relaxing though when they see their money end up in losses. Rage betting is a reaction to being frustrated with the results of your gambling decision. That's the problem with gambling, take it seriously and all your reason and senses goes out the window.

This is the most important part,


Whether you win or loss in the game, it's important to set some limit, that will help you enjoy your winning or minimize your loses.
Discipline is needed to be able to do this effectively.

Before now I was always gambling for fun and it was really interesting. I never had intention to make money but I loved to win, I enjoyed the game that way until my eyes got opened to the money making side of gambling.

A friend told me I could also make money and have fun at the same time, and then I was taught on setting limits to playing.

Hence, what I usually do was to set limits, and when I exceed I just walk out of the game for another day.
For now I think this is a great method to play, am still having fun and not making much loses, and even when I lose, I don’t see it as a big deal. What matters is the excitement I get from the game.

I strongly agree on this, in gambling, you must have self-moderated and that is by your self. You must control it to avoid facing addiction someday. However, all of these are depends on how you can manage your self. I like the OP statement number 1, gambling is intended for me in just for fun not for chasing money and hoping that it would be a source of income.

  It is a good idea, so before getting in gambling I think one should make his limit and he should only invest the money which can make him for sure but in case if he lose he will not be worry at all, in gambling actually we need proper time and our experience that we use to gamble, if we will play with full of our potential then I am sure there will no chance to lose but only profit.

Sounds super intelligent, but setting limits will still not stop you from making loses. The good thing about yours is that you were already enjoying the game as fun and that means, you didn’t see so much big deal in making loses and now that you are setting limit, there would be times to win, that makes it advantageous to you.

I personally don’t play with big money or any money that I cannot afford to lose, and I try as much as I can to set my limit. I think this method has been serving me right in controlling loses, which I also implore people to try and have self control.

Online gambling has a different risk which in my opinion will be easier to lose, because whatever you do online will happen with just one click. It is still dangerous if you are not careful and unfocused when placing your money on every bet you make.

I agree but you are also missing the money limit. Time and money limits are both important it's truth.

I used to play games before way too much and it can be a really nice distraction but we have to remember to work and study(if we want) at the same time so we actually advance and don't stay the same because time passes by really quick.

It's interesting how you look back and it's like, wow 5-10 years already passed by?

You can't say that unfocused and not careful is just dangerous only in online gambling since it will happen too in real life and not just in online gambling. Both have their own pros and cons it is just for the user to choose which is better that will suit them. If you like to gamble anonymously you can choose to gamble online but if you like to gamble with your friends, you can go to any casinos near you.

There are a lot of ways to gamble online with your friends. You can't just say that you want to gamble in the casino because you want to gamble with your friend. I gamble with my friends too but we don't usually do that offline, we do it online. When we do it on the casino, it will not only be a gambling time, it will also be full of liquor and liquor again of course.

What he's saying is that gambling online is riskier since there are a lot of fraud there; they will do everything to scam somebody by just sending a phising link which is very dangerous if you're not that careful. In my opinion it's not same as dangerous in real gambling.

There is no secured way when you gamble of course. Your post OP just mean about discipline in yourself when you gamble. As you can see secured means cannot be move or loss. This means when you gamble you cannot afford to secured your money and avoid losses.

The point.should be disciplining oneself in gambling. Well, it is your own opinion and there is no right or wrong with it. Good luck on your gambling habits. May you able to maintain that strategy when you gamble.

online games for money is much more dangerous than in reality, you will never be able to prove their case if the owner of the casino will take away your money, they do not care about the reputation as many players on the Internet and nick does not look at the reputation

true point that must concerned by people. That is why we must pick reliable and trustable casino site and usually old ones are good to pick. Not means new one is bad, but we need time before can trust in something.

For sure, planing is the most important skill in gambling. If you are able to plan and calculate your wins and loses, for sure you are in a position to earn good amount of money from gambling. Keep your organized is the Key.

Nice suggestion.
But are  you really not making loses as a gambler? Is this even possible? I have seen gamblers say similar thing a couple of times on this section.  I wonder if you guys could share the details of this strategy and what site you use them?

Not in a position to earn good amount of money,you can minimize your losses if you analyse and calculate your winnings and losings on that particular day.

Besides limit and discipline which is the bottom-line of gambling and without which gambling could not be much entertaining, there is nothing as secure in gambling.

One could gamble sensibly but a secure gambling would mean no losses which is just not possible in gambling. You cannot win every game no mater how much experienced you are. This is because there are different ways the player gets exploited by the house and this is the reason why the house stays undefeatable.

I agree with you. With limiting the money and the time in gambling, we can prevent to lose all of the money, and we can come back to play another game the next day. That will also prevent us from becoming addicting in gambling because we can limit the time to play the games. Maybe it's hard, but with practice, I am sure that we will be able to control ourselves.

There isn’t any existence of a reliable and trustworthy casino for you dude. How fool you are if you think in this way. You are really concealing the truth that you must know in your consciousness but you are hiding from it. Everyone here, even newbies, know what casino do to their clients. They give you a tasty death, a sweet knife cutting your financial throats. Get up before it gets too late for you.

If i feel my bad habits before will appear again i will distance myself from gambling until i feel like im fine again, although there are times i gamble for fun the devil inside me tells me to deposit and bet more, so i think the best way to not get addicted is stop playing for a bit until you feel your fine.

Hey the word we gamblers forget is mindfulness if we control our mind, we can control our feelings and then we can control the way we wish to bet. I feel every gambler should practice mindfulness, as this shall help him control his urge to gamble wildly and avoid making looses. Also in my case I used to lock my funds with my friends, and families till I learnt to practice mindfulness and now I can control myself.

Good for you if you able to practice and manage to applied it with your gambling activities, it's hard to have self control it's easy to say but in an actual situations where greed and aggressiveness already prospering inside your minds, you will just learned that you already lose after you have run out of funds.

I don't know if there is any trick to keep you away from gambling as everyone does what they want with their money. I think the best tip for you would be, when you are thinking about gambling more money even if you know that's not the right thing to do quickly think about something else to do and take action. It could be anything from talking to a friend to playing some sports but just do something to forget about gambling.

Well you can divert your gambling time into some other profitable hobbies like engaging in sports,livelihood projects or participating in arts. You may change your focus in life because in this way, you will surely keep away from gambling just like what you want to happen. These things will be possible if you are also motivated to let this happen.

Secured gambling sites are useless if you don’t have limit at all. Gamblers should learn this one and they have to commit on their limit. Security in gambling site is important, but securing your profit is more important i believe and you always have to do this.

One need to have a very good self discipline in order to have that strong control so that you do not be worried about that devil inside you will come out as it will not happen that way when you have a good control about yourself.

Most of the gamblers even not able to secure their capital after made decent rewards from their earlier bets which is simply due to their greed.

"Easier said than done." Exactly! Sometimes, we are so hooked to something to the point that we can't get enough of it. But, self-discipline is the key to not over-gamble. Know your limits, know when to stop. Limit your budget in gambling. And if you really intend to not gamble online for a period of time, there are softwares that can block your access to any gambling websites. Gambling is not at all bad if you just play mindfully and inside your point of confinement.

No matter whether you gamble online or offline we have to be in control while betting or we will face losses and when often doing this lead us to getting addicted.

My statment will be when we can't afford for money to bet then better avoid gambling on that day,don't take too much risks.

We have no room for success in gambling if we don't have the discipline, it's better to look for other type of entertainment.
Out weak emotion will lead to uncontrolled betting and will result to big loses, that's most likely will happen.


Not on that day only, just don't gamble, no way you will enjoy gambling if you are risking a money you cannot afford to lose.

Well I agree with this, and I think it is also all about the strategy how we can play gambling securely and sensibly in the sense the entertainment will never result into indesirable situation like losing all your money and being frustrated for having impulse driven act that you have made.I want to disagree to the " easier said than done" ,I think what is hard is the self-discipline not to control the losses that you might encounter here, and whenever I play in   Vegas casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/durian-dynamite?utm_source=ccdd) I usually deposit the Bitcoin I can take risk since they accepts Bitcoin deposits, through that I can enjoy their great deal of rewards and various games like Poker, black jack, slots, roulette and many more.

Once they become greed, they will lose all of their money. In the gambling game, they need always remember that controlling themselves will be the best thing that will work perfectly to have money still and prevent to get a big loss.
Setting a limit will be good too even for the pro gambler because they can save the money on that day and they can use it again for tomorrow.

It is impossible to secure capital with greed, Jut imagine a player who has set a limit and with luck on his side wins and rather than going home with the little winning he has made, he decided to double bet and before you know it everything is gone into the thin air without being able to recover it back.

Greed is the major cause of loses in gambling and its really delinquent on the path of the players. Everyone can be a winner in gambling if we can all overcome greed and be more disciplined in playing. I think some players do not even set limit in playing and I feel this is not good at all.

Playing on gambling online, of course my goal is to make personal pleasure. But playing in every game of course I have to think about how to always win. If I experience defeat, I will play again. But it must be remembered, I play gambling online not playing in big numbers. Because my main goal is for fun, of course I play in small numbers.

Don’t mind the guy. He’s probably just kidding because I don’t believe anything like devil inside one. It is an in-cautions decision you have made without knowing and while playing, it displays out as though it’s something that is leading you to play higher. This is the reason it’s always important to start the game with the right mindset and include discipline to keep you on the right track and the easiest way to achieve this is to set limit in playing.

I have been in this gambling industry for years and with the help of positive mindset, discipline, I can boastfully say that I overcome the urge of more play with ease.

Good you learned from the years you are gambling. Problem with gamblers today is that they focus in winning and giving everything they have win or lose they dont stop. OP provided to just play casual and make gambling for fun. As for myself i've learned to gamble frequently now unlike before i play everyday.

Yeah right, each time you play excitement and greed let you forget about thinking of little benefits but instead you'll push more thinking that it will give you more luck and more winnings, to the extend that even your capital bankroll will lose from particular events that you play in.

Fear of falling into a very bad situation like I have experienced in the past that has given me a lesson. From now on, I have never tried to catch my loss even though I had to take the time to forget about it. Playing only with small amounts can indeed be managed well, especially related to emotional impact.

In this modern world gambling is developing in even more than before so we cannot been take the chances of getting out from this and sensible gambling will always been important in this type of situation because there are lots of availability to lost your money without any thing that to be in your hand so security is also very important for us.

You can gamble securely online but safely only to some websites which offer you the option to place betting limits and bankroll limits in order to help you not become addicted.I don't know which crypto casino offers this option but from the Fiat ones bet365 is one casino tha offers this to their users.

Of course you just cannot apply the same strategy all the time. Strategies need to be changed from game to game and from level to level. Like you said, I love to be a realist and play in my senses because it is a world full of uncertainty and you cannot predict thing to the immense precision. I take away and stop gambling after making some money, this helps me stay confident and at times, even if I loose, I stop and do not try again in the same time. I take it light and enjoy it.

Gambling is a good past time activity, that is why a lot of crypto users are into playing in different online gambling site. But most of them becomes a compulsive gambler or problem gambler because they don't know how to manage or to control their self that they turn out to be greedy in betting. Most gambler wanted to earn huge amount of money by playing, but most of them didn't know that there are only less chance for the to be rich because the only people who can be rich in gambling are dealers and owner of a casino. Honestly, i can control myself in betting while playing in a bitcoin casino because i don't bet huge amount of money in gambling, so that even if i lose many times it still doesn't matters because it is only for a low amount of money. However, i also became greedy and addicted in gambling when it's my first time, but with the help of my friends they taught me to control and limit myself. Anyways, I am also playing in a bitcoin casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/wild-pixies?utm_source=ccwp) which offers great bonuses and hundreds casino games that you can play that will give you outstanding experience as a gambler..

You can only gamble sensibly if you have total control over your self. Gambling is fan and addictive. If you do not have the discipline it can drag you down.
For me, I gamble within my limits. I limit not only the amount I can use for bets but also the time I can spend on gambling. I do not spend too much time on it because, for me, it is only a pass time habit. I do it only once a week, not longer than an hour.

Each person do have significant own rules and limit with themselves towards gambling yet each of us do have different
financial capability and vacant time but overall when we do talk about limits then it should be similar.Doing gambling
sensibly online will always been suggested if you don't like to mess up your finances or even possible with your own
entire life then you should done this with full control.

Gambling been rampant in this modern world is even the more reason why gamblers ought to have become wiser and gamble securely. I am surprised that with all the advises on this forum advising gamblers to only gamble what they can afford to lose, there can still be people who loose so much, it’s really painful.

I noticed that majority of people losing so terribly in gambling are the greedy ones, because if you gamble low bets, there are chances of minimizing loses and profit are not usually so high.  Greedy people would prefer to double be with the intention of winning big not considering the volatility of the market.

It is greediness that makes many gamblers to actually lose money.  There is always a time to quit and most times that is when the sweetness of making money do push many of us to start over gamble for profits.  Whenever you are over gambling you should be rest assured that you are already on the part of losing heavily.

Not for me now, personally my experience help me a lot not to loss more money, I loss but a small amount of money and I can easily forget it.
What experience told us for most gamblers, is that we learn the ability to minimize our loses, and that's better than expecting to win when we don't have the capacity.

That’s true though but for me, irrespective of the site I gamble on, I am totally sure of never getting addicted in gambling, this is because I have successfully grown my discipline level to almost the highest peak

Gambling game is quite addictive, no matter the site, anyone can be addictive, and it only takes those whose minds has already been made up to play with wisdom to overcome this addiction that can really eat deep into one. This is the reason why it is good to enter with the right mentality, be determined never to get addicted and like you said, set limit, setting limit helps actually.

You have a point, it is all easy for us to say but hard to be done but the things we differ is that I can manage to control it my emotions. Ever since I entered in this community I've already made up my mind that I won't use this to earn profit due to the fact that we only have a low chance of winning. The most important thing is discipline if you don't have it then probably you took out by your addiction. Gambling is not bad at all but what makes it's bad is how you used it. I've been in this community for a long time, visit every casino sites like this one (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/durian-dynamite?utm_source=ccdd) but I never lose my cool since it is better if we would enjoy it and have no presence of addiction.

As always the results will still the same, losing chances is far higher than the winning one, there's no other results but too much gambling will only
lead you to financial destruction, you have to learned to control everything.

Gambling held a negative image in front of a lot of people in the world. May it be in real life or crypto casino. It may or may not give you a positive feedback that you are expecting. All thing are good when done moderately and with caution. In gambling, you should always know your limit or when to stop when you already run out of ammo. You should also plan ahead before immersing yourself into it. Gambling is fun not until it consumes you as a whole. You should gamble just for the sake of thrill and fun and not for the sake of winning a lot and taking more than you could really take. You don't want to choke in greediness in the middle of the game right? I, myself, play in a crypto casino (https://vegascasino.io/promotions/race-to-the-top?utm_source=rttcc). It is fun because I can play inside our house without undergoing the hassle of going out of the house. I can also use bitcoin to my liking. I got bonuses back when I was a newbie up until now. I also got to read some blogs about cryptocurrencies and the likes. I enjoyed playing it up until now because I play moderately and fortunately knows my limit. In playing, you don't have to bet it all as long as you're enjoying to your heart's content.

Honestly we can’t blame those who have a negative perspective of gambling. Gambling has damaged the lives of so many that those who know nothing about the game would just assume that it is destructive. Years before I started gambling, I heard a lot about how terrible the game can be, how it has scattered so many homes and all that.

I am glad I took my time to learn a lot before I started gambling, especially on this forum. I learnt how to play moderately, never to gamble what I cannot afford to lose and reducing the hours I spend on casino games, all this helped me to become a better player and I am confident that I cannot be a victim of addiction.

if we are able to manage time for gambling, we can avoid being addicted to gambling. most people certainly expect profits in gambling but as much as possible we should not be too greedy to win the game and should be able to only spend a little money in play but can target the victory we expect

Yes. There will be no addiction that will happen if we only gamble occasionally and just playing for fun. But if we let our greediness controls our emotions, for sure it will only cause life's destruction. So never gamble and expect profits all the time. You might be frustrated if it turns out the other way around.

If all gamblers will have this same views as yours mate?for sure there will never be a gambling addict and all of us may have enjoyable gambling habits and not just tl profit

We as former addict have learned alot from our own mistakes and lucky that we survived the call of being failure in life.

Let us hope many of ua will have this same vision that gambling is really for fun and not for living

That is the reason we should be responsible.

Gambling is a risky choice of entertainment if you want to just have fun. I do have fun gambling but I do know what am I doing and what should I not do in order to keep myself from getting addicted to it. Also, I have other things to keep myself entertained like watching TV series and movie, playing online games but that usually takes more time than enough.

Yes, that is right. The greediness will come to the gamblers with or without they realize.
But for gamblers who can stop the games at any times, then I don't think that he should worry about being greediness because he always could control himself in gambling.
We need to know when to quit so we could control the greed in ourselves to not making us lose more money.

Experience is truly a great teacher. It’s unfortunate that many would never learn. I didn’t even need experience to understand that in gambling, it is good to play with what can easily be forgotten or any amount that I can easily afford to loose.

It was so easy for me to always gamble what I can easily afford to loose because I saw gambling as a game of entertainment. I knew I didn’t have to commit an amount that was too much for me just because I needed fun, and I quit the game as soon as I exceed my limit even though I do not make any profit, I will just be glad I had fun and that is all that matters more to me.

A common trend I see here in Gambling Discussion are people making threads complaining how they lost money, etc while playing. I bet they were not complaining while they were winning.

There's only on way to prevent gambling going out of hand and it also applies to other areas of life... Create a budget AND stick to it.

Set a monthly limit, a fund for everything entertainment-related. Use that up within a month or not, it gets topped up monthly and that's the only money you can use for gambling.

it's the nature of people - they always complain for losses but never complain while they are winning. but all you need is just to stop at right time.

I have been doing this for years. By making a special budget for gambling, from that moment I did not feel the slightest loss even though I lost in gambling because the budget was indeed provided and prepared to be lost. Then, when I lost the gamble I did not regret it because the lost money did not interfere with other economies.

People used to stick to limits, and beyond some point when they experience good winning automatically their mind move towards a bigger betting. This is where the control must be there, and when one can limit himself even on winning streak will be successful and won't experience massive loss. When it comes to the secure way of gambling it is good to prefer top casinos and sportsbooks as there are people who have won and waiting for days for withdrawal. Even after contacting support team no response.

I don't do this at all.

It is true that we are gambling for fun but if you just want to have fun and don't earn money at all, you can play online games, if you want to spend your money go out and travel with your friends, eat on restaurants, buy something that will make you happy. I mean, why would you gamble if you don't want to earn money for fun? The fun in gambling is earning money, people will say, but we avoid earning money so we will not be addicted to it. But what is the point of you going there? Just to have fun? If you are having fun, that means you are winning and what are you getting from that wins? Money, right? Get it?

I guess he does not understand the meaning of gambling for fun, or we might have different interpretation on it.
For me, I gamble for fun, meaning I'm not so serious with gambling, I can easily accept if I loss but our main goal in gambling is to win because its where the fun is. Some people can give up easily and not making ways to win, then they are surely wasting money for that, its not gambling anymore.

We gamble to win, that's the rule here.

Another point is that even if people win in gambling, that win is temporary as they invest all the amount again and lose it in the next game. People should know when to play and how to get and withdraw profits. If you do not withdraw your profits and keep on playing, eventually you lose all your money including the profits also.

I admire your personality. Having nurtured yourself to overcome gambling addiction is a great work and I really commend you. The game is truly addictive; it’s not easy to overcome the urge to stay on it for so long.

I am new to gambling and I try as much as I can to stay far from been addicted. There are times I say no to play and I see myself playing again, I know that it is possible to overcome the urge. What I have learnt from you now is to set my limit before playing and once I see that I have passed the limit, I will just close my game for the day. And I will also see the game as a game of entertainment, at least that way I will know that whatever that is for fun is not meant for one to stay on it all day.

I also follow these rules, if I am in a gambling site and I want to gamble with money. my target is getting a small amount of money so, I can cover the transaction charges so I never think about getting huge wins or making good profits. All my bets are controlled and planned instead of blowing it all at once I break it down to possible outcomes and so I can cover my fees whenever I want. I never think to gamble as my earning source.

In gambling and especially in casino gambling it's very important that you control yourself and set a limit for how much you're willing to lose. In sports betting, you will never make 100 bets in less than 10 minutes, but you can easily do hundreds of bets if you use auto betting in a few minutes on casino gambling, this make casino betting more fun and intense and I really like this kind of betting but my bets are so low that I don't worry about any loss.

It only really becomes a problem once it starts taking more and more money that is needed for some other things.

Seems most people would really like to have a limit on the max gambling money, it's just they have a hard time sticking to the budget. I suppose they can minimize the likelihood of dipping into money reserved for something else by immediately making that money unavailable for gambling (auto-deduct payment for utilities, etc).

I remember someone saying "If you are afraid of falling, then don't place yourself in a position where you would fall".

It is all about self-control here in gambling, we never loss a lot of money if we have that attitude. It is pretty obvious that those people who are distinctly on addiction don't have.
We can be in gambling all the time but we should know until when, by knowing our limitations will simply guide us or even help us to not be in addiction. I'm with sports betting and I just gamble when I feel that I have luck or a big chances that my team where I put my money will win.

Then that makes you safe in gambling, of course you don't feel you are lucky every day so you are not a regular gambler.
Gambling less will have less risk, that's the reality and I wish I only gamble less but I really like the feeling in gambling, I just have to stay discipline.
Like you, I also love sports betting or sports gambling.

Maybe what he want to say is The main Objective of playing Gamble is to have Fun and the winning is just a Bonus so whenever theres a losing that happen,the bitterness is lessen and the greedy feeling will not exist at all as this was the main reaon why people who gambles turns addicted or more greedy as time passes by

You make a lot of sense with this post mate. To me I would say that those whom gambling have destroyed should be held responsible for their actions and it shouldn’t be blamed on the game. Its just so unfortunate that the public who has a negative view on gambling, knows nothing about the game.
From your post, just look at how you took your time to learn about the game before starting, this is where so many gamblers fail at the beginning. They will not take out their time to learn. I went through this stage also and I understand perfectly. Learning about gambling gives gamblers a more interesting gambling experience.

I don’t even pay attention to those who cry on how much they lost on gambling, once I see people like that I just know they caused it to themselves. Because I know that gambling sites did not forcefully collect money from any individual.

I dislike it when players are not smart or those who are too greedy in playing games. There is no rule that says if you don’t win in the game today, you can’t win tomorrow, so why play a game like today is the end of it all? Set a limit and if exceeded, quit and come back to play again another day.. Efforts to replay immediately and the intentions to recover loses are always disastrous and it ends leads players to calamity.

The reason why you have been able to minimize your loses with ease is because you have a good knowledge of gambling and I think that is where many are derailing. It hurts me a lot when I see people who are proud to call gambling their major source of income and am, like Seriously? When did gambling become a corporate organization and who are the management lol.

Gambling has been on for many years, even our fathers played it for fun, it was a good way our fathers of old entertained themselves and as well make little money, it was never meant to make anyone rich overnight, so those who get greedy because they want to make so much money on gambling only end up in frustration.

Regardless of the gambling addict, playing securely and sensibly is a great strategy for those who want to increase their chances of winning a game. In contrast to it, one may not wind up the game with a success as a result he may lose his own money as well. That is the reason playing with small bets while gambling in a sensible way sounds well for a successful finish. Though, online way of doing it is great but it could be scam as well, that is why I prefer legit sites and natural game.

And the irony is that those who lose  to gambling will never come out to complain because they know that they shot themselves on the leg. Even gambling sites would say never gamble what you cannot afford to lose. But because the players feel they are smarter than the operators of the site, or they have one strategy that can make them win the odds, some would even go ahead to borrow money from their friends with the intention of winning back in double folds.

So when they lose, they just hide their faces in shame and the innocent people who didn’t know that the players did that to themselves would start blaming gambling sites and writing negative reviews about gambling.

If you have to be disciplined then you must learn how to gamble less. It takes a very disciplined gamer to know when to say No to a game no matter how interesting the game might look. There are times that games can be very interesting and it will look that we are making so much profit, , it’s even during this period that self-control is more required otherwise, one would just be heading straight to becoming addicted.

To gamble less will not only help to reduce risk but would make a gambler more responsible and a gambler can be more disciplined. Even research has shown that it is not too good to spend too much time in gambling as it can lead to addiction.

Gambling is an interesting activity. Even though it has great risks, it has something that attracts people. But being careful is always mandatory. I just think that those who play for fun will always be happy.

Unfortunately not everyone can be as disciplined. Besides they do kinda hack into our rewards system, they obviously studied it. Plus some people it seems are genetically predisposed to being addicted.

Guess it's still best to gauge yourself first before taking on gambling as a pastime. If you tend to be someone who have a hard time shaking off a habit, maybe gambling is not for you.


Hahaha, I also see plenty of those! "Method to win in [insert gambling game here] at so and so rate". It took an entire team for these guys to beat casinos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOeYw4TFYTA what makes some people they can do it on their own.

Reason why gambling sites that have a lot of funds always win and never lose because players always play there winning even not on the same day that result for them to lose. Only disciplined player can win against a casino.

that is a sign of a good gambler to play again on the next day instead of playing all your profits on the same day that you won because that will only lead to a possible losses   . the reason why gambling sites have alot of funds is because gambling sites must need a huge capital before they start thier business because gambling is a huge industry , there are many gamblers around the world and most of them are also betting huge amount .

One of the most important rules I learned about sports betting is to not chase your loses-  but to rather live another day.
These book makers know they can hang a lopsided number on the last game on of the evening knowing there are gamblers who are chasing.
Its just best overall to only bet on games you think see value not to try to cover your daily losses.

I think most gamblers forget the most basic thing when in a difficult situation.
It is to have self-control always no matter what your rules to set when you are gambling.
Be responsible with your own action and do reflect it always before and after.

There are really good things that are just best to say than done because when you are already in the real situation and you are losing already, you cannot just stop and walk away. Of course you will try to chase your losses and only end up losing even more. That's the sad fact about gamblers today.

That’s very true. Understanding is the key to a secured gambling. Like you have correctly said, many people are not doing well in gambling and that is because they have the wrong understanding. It is really annoying to see that people are dependent on gambling to pay their daily bills and this is not right.

Having fun in gambling would be much easier if players can just enter with the mindset of not making so much and even when they intend to make money but not been greedy.  Gambling never made anyone rich so it is pointless to be desperate to make so much money from gambling. There is a great difference between gambling and Ponzi scheme, even though they are both risky.

The prerequisite to any venture you want to be part of is the knowledge about that area. It is very important to learn the hows and whens if you want to succeed in that area. The main reason why so many people terribly fail and loose everything in gambling is the fact that they treat it as a way of making easy money which is not right. The probability of win in gambling is less than 50% for a wise man. How come a man who knows nothing about gambling hit a 100% probability only if there is no luck involved?

Looking from your statements, this is what I conclude

- If you are in a loss, you cannot quit with loss
- You need to invest more and play more in order to recover your loss and you will lose more.

So what do gamblers do then ? If they are in loss and quit, they will lose the money. If they do try again, they still lose more money.  ???

There are some people that are so addicted to gambling online to the extent that they don't even know when to stop. Even when they are losing all their money they are still playing and losing more money. It is fun to play these games but being addicted to them is very bad and can lead you to do things that are really bad. It's good to have a set time and don't exceed it, don't spend much of your time in gambling every day, just do it for fun and not as a means of survival, it is a game and should played at your free time.

that's where the gambler must be able to decide when to stop and return to play, preferably every gambler he must be able to control emotions while playing, when he wins he has to make the right strategy to bet again by placing a price lower than the win, or can stop playing for a while so there is no greedy attitude and hope to win a bigger bet that can result in a losing streak

That is a safe strategy so far with good emotional control, but in reality some gamblers are not easy to carry out this strategy, because when they are betting the mindset of the gambler has been affected by greed and self-control that cannot be controlled. But that is only a few and not all gamblers have the same attitude, so the important thing to gamble safely is to always maintain our mindset so that we can make the decision to stop and continue.

Past experiences would be the best teacher and once a certain gambler do already aware on such thing or consequences

he does know on how to avoid it on next session on playing gambling,being emotional cant really be easily controlled because each person is different on handling
themselves on such situations.

if you are a newbie going in an online casino you might fall into the habit of running after profit, you should first watch it with your friends who are a responsible gambler, so you will learn how to handle the game, how to bet stop when winning or losing, this is important it will set your habit.

Some people cannot find relief if they are lost in gambling games and they will try over and over until they can get their money's back. Perhaps, at that moment, they forgot that in the gambling games, it is hard to recover the losses, but they still push themselves to continue playing gambling.

Self-control will be needed in those situations because we don't know how long we can play and not to lose the money. But for the truth, we will be going to lose more money if we cannot prevent ourselves to stop and quit gambling.

I would say that even the disciplined player will lose in the long run and that is why we see that gambling casino are never at loss. Those people who win some amount in gambling, lose the profit and the seed money on their next games and this way gambling sites never lose.

It still depends on how gambling has a hold on you if you are gambling for over two years and you have tasted  winning big amount of money I don't think this will work, the temptation to win those big amounts you've won in the past is very hard to suppress, you will need medical attention for this.

Lucky are those people who experience winning big money in long term gambling, but I believe most of us still hasn't experience a big win.
Like in my case, I'm already gambling for years but AFAIR, I still have no won an amount that I will be satisfied to stop gambling for awhile and just enjoy it. Most of the wins are just small amount since my betting range is also small, and the longer I play I know I'm losing money but still not giving up.

Gambling websites never experience loss, and few websites have closed their services facing some legal issues. Every gambler could've experienced this form of loss while spending on casinos.

When it comes to secure way of gambling, online gambling with cryptocurrency is the best as it gives the anonymity. In a recent thread came to know about a robber following a gambler coming out of casino getting robbed with the entire winning. This can be overcome by the online gambling and the access we get is very easy than going to a casino.

Of course, you are right, because most of the gamblers either have fun or make little money because of their bets.  If someone gets a huge win, then this is undoubtedly Lucky man who hit the jackpot and such cases are not massive.  Yes, and income such a cash prize can not be called.

I seem to be unable to control my emotions while gambling. So I had to seek help from my family members. I'd let them know how much crypto I have and where I have placed them. And possibly give them the passwords to the wallets or sites. I have limited my gambling to the bounty earnings. This way I won't be losing much.

I would like to know what's your motivation to continue gambling  despite not making much profit? Do you think it is impulsive or you are still focused on winning something big one day?

It is interesting you said you enjoy it despite being unlucky

Me I do gambling for fun & also to win money I also set my goals to bet a small amount and set time limit and learn to walk away if I win big also
practice gambling with friends because its more fun to gambles with friends.

That's great, you won't have a feeling of upset if you are gambling for fun, that even if you loss money since you can assure that you can afford what you risk in gambling. Saying it is easy but to remain discipline there's a challenge as there's a chance your ego will affected when you experience bad losing steak, then that discipline might be loss.

As long as we gamble with the money that we can afford to lose, even though we aren't lucky, it will not give us a big upset. Indeed, even though we gamble only for fun, win will be the important thing. Gambling for fun can turn into the bad one if we are carried away by emotion and violate our original plan.

I think it is for entertainment because if you gamble for fun then normally you don't care too much attention on the bet you place but the enjoyment that you play while gambling and aside from fun you will feel thrilled while playing as well, so I think that is the reason why people still gamble even when they are unlucky.

The challenge is inside you if how will you able to control that emotions and greed that will flow while you are playing gambling, if you can stay that way and only do this to enjoy and have some fun then that's okay with you spending some of your money and not to allow yourself to get to much.

If you are a gamblers you have a self control, if you dont apply it on yourself then you become an addicted, then you can avoid also to lose. Before you gamble make sure that you always a presence of minds if what is best that will you do, and think that a gamble is not to earn money its just only for relax and for pastimes if you feel boredom.

Self control is very important in any form of the game and in life as well. Because else you can lose a lot of money in this process if you get addicted to it and also can effect your health . So better to stay away form such things if cannot control it.
