After reading replies from some threads on this gambling discussion board, I see that many people have already delivered suggestions related to various problems of gamblers. Now, it depends on us to follow or ignore the suggestions. Or we can take a look at the suggestions that are suitable for our problems. Here are below:

1. You shouldn't spend much money because it will harm the family. (Limit your funds)
2. You must have good self-control, it is one of the keys to be successful in gambling.
3. You mustn't get loans, you will be trapped in debt at the end.
4. After you can win in a gambling game, you are better to stop (break for a while). Don't be greedy to push your luck!
5. Don't expect much to win in gambling, most of them are luck-based. Think rationally!
6. Don't spend all your time gambling, have enough time for family, friends, and society.
7. Etc

Additional suggestions from sheenshane.


What do you think, guys? Are all the suggestions worthed to follow by all gamblers? Let's discuss it, you can give any feedback or opinions.
Please let me know if there are other good suggestions! I will add them to OP if I think it is a nice one. I really hope this will be helpful for us.

A lot of this advice applies to normal gamblers that play on land based casinos too. But the main thing I see is that with quarantines in place, people will throw money away through online gambling if because they're bored, lose, then continually redepositing because there isn't anything else to do. Have fun with gambling but don't depend on it to occupy all of you're time because it can become an expensive hobby.

These suggestions are good and this is how gamblers should be, however, these are easier said than done. Most gamblers are aware of the effect gambling addiction and they also know the do's and dont's to avoid getting addicted. However, greed always comes first. For example, if I win, I want to push my luck further to maximize the money I can take home. If I lose, I will try to win back my money so I can stop gambling with no losses. Each scenario has the same result, which is younlosing your money and wasting your time.

It's good to see this words of advice here but actually that's not happening in reality since still many gamblers do what you are saying since they want to have a money for capital in gambling  because there are still people denying to accept the fact that they are got affected to much by their vices.  But if this suggestions will be followed we can't see our neighbors selling their stuff and other things around  :D.

All advices you gave are good practices for a disciplined gamblers however people forget that once they are already in that situation. If we'll summarize it, I think it'll be compress into one advice which is not to be greedy and discpline yourself. At the end of the day, what really matters in gambling is how you enjoy the game and how profitable you are regardless if you're greedy gambler or not.

Right, this suggestions also applies if you are a traditional gamblers as well. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us is affected and very well be prioritising things in life now. And the lock down could lead us to contemplate what is going on with our life specially our gambling activity in the past.

So it is very important that we should limit our spending right now specially in gambling as the future is bleak and there could be recession. Maybe some of us have lost their job because of the pandemic, so for gamblers out there, I will just advise to just take it easy and watch out the money that you are going to spend with your gambling.

I think there's no need for further discussion. As you said you already see what other people suggested and advice to those who have various problems in doing gambling on other threads.

Those listed suggestions are basic things to follow and actually, should be an automatic approach by each of a gambler. It's just that there are people who still fall on the trap even they already know those basic things since gambling effects are hard to resist. More of taking risks compare to being on a safe spot as it's really tempting to engage in high risks, high rewards scheme. Suggestions are not enough, these gamblers must experience the bad sides of doing gambling for them to learn.

I think not all of the gamblers right now are actually gambling. Think of it as a food, not all of us eat burgers. What I mean is that people don't eat what they like, they might be forced to do things they are not used to but I think most of the gamblers right now are not finding n alternative and so bored right now in their houses. I guess we can also suggest that, don't find an alternative it increses the risk of you losing especially if you don't know the game.

There are already 10's or even a hundred kinds of threads similar to this which do talks about suggestions or tips on how we do should deal with gambling activity.

Aside from those points above you had mentioned then i would suggest not to forget the golden rule when we do gamble which is "Dont gamble on the amount that you cant afford to lose"
this had always been said and reminded for those who do gamble because if you cant easily accept that you do lose money then it would end up for you to chase losses
and we know on what would be the next thing to that.

Recheck above! I said "some threads", not all threads as it is a bit impossible. That's why I still need any feedback to complete or add another one (if any).
Also, I think to discuss the suggestion to gamblers is a good thing, why stop it? At least, remind all gamblers about it.

That's a basic thing but not easy to do, right? As it is a basic thing, it means an important thing. Some people may forget or others may don't know as they are newbies. So, in my opinion, we need to remind all gamblers about it. But if you think some people have already mastered it and have no single problem, just skip reading.  ;)

I think what the OP is trying to point out is that with current pandemics, gambler should rethink their options right now.


Yes, it's basic even casino themselves have this sort of advise.  But guess what, many are still falling for it, why? because it is very hard to follow specially if you got hooked on gambling. But with this whole Covid-19 scare, gamblers should be mindful of their money, we are in a difficult times and we really don't know how long this lock-down will last because it is really affecting most of us and this is perhaps what's the reason why the OP started this thread.

Always follow the golden rule because you will become part of the people who have huge debt or people who mostly lose their minds because they cannot control their own emotions. People are allocating too much and they are just expecting profit and not losses, gambling is game of luck and chances and there is no sure win here so all of the people who want to gamble their money should expect losses here.

You really hit all the do's in gambling especially if you are only playing for fun. In my case this is what I am doing in order to avoid being addicted and losing too much but with regards to your number 4 suggestions, I always forget it as I always continue the game even if I win a good amount of money already especially if I still have time as I usually gamble for fun and as a past time.

If we will just follow these, we will be a good gambler and we can avoid being addicted to it and what I really hate are those people who ask for loans just to gamble and those people who have no self control especially in limiting the money for gambling.

 This is the one that is most significant. We shouldn't forget to spend quality time with our loved ones either family or friends. I honestly forget sometimes to have a bond with my family because I am overwhelm sometimes with the fun cause by this gambling sites.
 This to remind us that we should always put our family in our prirority list first. As we aren't aware that the bond and the rapport are slowly fading because of gambling.
 
 Those tips you have mentioned were all useful for a typical gambler who are forgetting the right track as a good gambler. If those mentioned aboved were forgotten, addiction comes in remember that.

yes all of those suggestion are worth it and enough i guess  . i know there are still many to add in but most of those will still fall on those 6 category that you already listed on the op  . spending too much is okay as long as you can afford to loose it all and as long as you dont have a family to feed on   . this tip  is think the hardest one to folllow for me because i have already a family which means i cant  play the way that i want to because of limited budget but in the end i realized that i could feel uncomfortable if i loose and cant provide money for my famiily  . the rest are easily doable for me

IMO point #2 covers all the other points already and probably cover all the other suggestions which is not yet mentioned. Once you have good self-control then everything will be good as you can control your money, time, feeling, greed, etc.
Frankly speaking, I do not really like your words "keys to be successful in gambling" as it can be something subjective. The word success may mean difference from one to another especially it is related to gambling. I still believe that most people thinks that success in gambling is when they win big.

This is the main problem of most gamblers nowadays,

They always spend too much time in gambling without realizing that they have forgot to have enough time with their family. Even I have experienced this before, where I don't give any of my time with my family since I am more focus on playing.

These 2 is relatively the same because if you have no Self control then you cannot Limit your Money to be spent in gambling.
again this is connected in Self Control because you will not stand in table specially when you are winning because greed will take over your mind.

but Better to Give also specific target of winnings just like when you allocate losing amount.
Exactly this is it,Gambling must not be the place to find money but to find Happiness and if you win?then take it as consolation or a Bonus.

I think the list says it all. It all depends on gamblers how will they handle their time and money when gambling because no matter what advice or principles they set when gambling, in the end, they will break it. Self-control, discipline, and your will not be driven by greed will save you from being addicted to gambling.

Almost all the best advice is on the list and I think gamblers should consider it. That would have a positive effect for gamblers in my opinion. Good effort, mate.

Dont trust the strategy 100%. Yes, strategy is the gamblers attempt to win every bet and game they play. I just think that everyone has their own way of gambling and if a gambler fully believes in strategy and risks everything on one occasion, then I am very sure they will get more harm than they might win. Although the strategy is not a prohibited effort, but if you entrust it 100% to get the victory I think you are wrong because there is no strategy that can guarantee the gambler to win at every opportunity.

Easier said than done most people when their winning it gets pretty much hard to stop especially in HILO games your mind gets programmed to repeat the same action over and over again until you hit a higher price then continue.
It gets pretty hard to have a stop loss especially when gou might have the chance to win jackpot or big money.

I guess if they win on the games, they tempt to continue gambling as they can think that this time is my best time to have luck, so I need to continue again before my chance is gone. That is not always right because they cannot have a guarantee to win in the next round, and if somehow, they can win much money, it is better to stop the games. Yes, self-control is necessary to have while we gamble, so we don't get in the trap inside the games, and we can stop gambling as soon as possible.

Well said mate, all tips and advice you have been mentioned are really helpful to them but the problem is how to execute to themselves. Sometimes they forgot these just because of greed and probably gamblers are always chasing money not just for fun.

Let me add something that based on my opinion.

• Don't gamble if you are depressed, stress or something has negative emotion in your self.
• Always think gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way of making money
• Always set a time limit of how long your session in gambling
• Decide to stop when you are in a win-win situation, the more time you gamble, a big chance to lose.

This should be the Mother of all advises given because If Gamblers don't have this?then for sure His life will ruin at all chances.

because i have known someone who does.
This is the Shit and damn stupidity i will ever do in life,taking loan just to gamble is a suicide .
because Luck will not always in our side thats why we need to at least rest for a while after winning or else you will lose more than what you win.
looking for too much is always a dead end for every gamblers or even investors.
Well our work and family must be our priority and not what anything else.

What do you think, guys? Are all the suggestions worthed to follow by all gamblers?.
[/quote]
yes it is a complete package for them to take seriously.

Nice advice mate, giving advice to gamblers is really important because if they get so hard on gambling or if they become addict on gambling then it can destroy their lives. Limiting the budget of the gambler will not be enought I think because if they really want to play or to gamble they will make ways to happen, they may borrow some money on their friends or to the loaners and that is really bad thing that gamblers may do.

Basically this topic is not new to our eyes as the number of newbies/beginners in online gambling is always increasing. The fundamental skills in gambling is also applicable online and it is safe to play online gambling during this pandemic. You're not allowed to go outside so the number 1 advantages of this online gambling is that, it is flexible that you can gamble anywhere, you just need funds, stable internet connection and a device. But during the crisis like this, we should focus more on the safety of each and everyone because the spread of virus is fast and can travel from a country to another country. Instead of gambling, you should spend you funds or money to more valuable things that will help you survive this quarantine. If you have a spare money after you fulfill your necessities in everyday lives, it is reasonable that you can gamble with your free time for an entertainment purposes just don't forget that never gamble outside.

These are the common advice we encounter here in the forum. Following it won't put you in trouble, in fact, it will help you to control yourself. These suggestions are what we need in order to become a smart gambler. It's like the basic things or principles that you should keep in your mind before gambling. Maybe you can add there that it's not good to think about gambling as a main source of income because it is not. Although you can gain profit from it, it's not permanent. There are times you will lose money. Sometimes, losses are more often than winning in gambling. In gambling, winning is short term happiness but losing is a long term struggle we can face. It's better to think of the other possibilities before risking all of our money.

Applying this list is our own choice. If we think that it's for the better, we can follow it. We can't say that in reality, people don't actually follow this because it's our own choice. We are big enough to know the consequences of gambling.

For me, I suggest you to stop gamble for the mean time as you have something to prioritize not only gambling. If you have family to feed for then you should spend you money wisely because all of the workers are not allowed to go to their jobs because if the risk of getting the virus from workmate. Online gambling is helpful if you really want to gambling but just think of the necessities that you need to have, foods, clothes, medicines, and etc. This Covid-19 is the issue here now, we all know that we can get through this someday, this is just temporary, we don't know when this will end but you should plan and budget you money so that you prevent scarcity in food and funds. Gambling platforms and casinos are always there but being healthy is very essential during times like this. Prioritize health and safety first before gambling so that sooner or later you can still gambling comfortably after this crisis ends.

I simply believe only the second suggestion will be more than enough for any gambler because when you are having good self-control then you will be able to keep everything under your control which must be the only think that most gamblers are lagging.

I mean when you are good in self-control then you will not spend big money in gambling. This will enable there is no need for getting loans for your gambling purposes. When you're in control, you will not look for getting easy money from gambling and you will understand that all gambling is just luck based one and playing with it hard will not yield anything and obviously a strong self-control will not let you spend more time with gambling :).

Good point OP, taking this perspectives before playing will allow you to have a good mindset and avoid you to make a high risk betting activities. If you have this practice inside you, the risk will be much lesser. Most of the time those gamblers who knows how to handle pressures and didn't listen to their emotional side are the one who able to enjoy and gain decent profits from this activities.

The most common argument for people who oppose online gambling is that you can't limit how many hours people spend. At land casinos, people can't stay there forever because they have to go back home, take a shower, eat and drink (meals there pretty expensive), etc. It's like a "natural limitation." Without forcing gamblers to leave, they will eventually go home automatically.

Meanwhile, in online gambling, everything depends on your chakra (self-control lol):
Some online casinos impose a time out or cool down moment, but users will feel forced to leave, or if they have multiple accounts, they will still play.

I don't have any idea how to solve this issue except to harden your chakra. Any idea?

All those advice look great to a person who is not addicted. But if someone is addicted to gambling, than he surely won't follow any advice. It's like telling a passionate smoker to limit the number of cigarettes per day. He will follow that limit for a certain time, but after few days he will light one more and the next day another one more and so on... A gambling addict will do the same - he will always want to gamble for one more minute because he is certain that the next one is a winning bet.

How much the money to spend will be subjective and should be different between one gambler to another gambler. It will be hard to determine the amount of money. However, I do agree that a gambler must limit his funds. Spend all money to gambling is indeed a stupid idea. Only a careless one does that poor idea, I even never think to use extra money once I have lost all funds in a single day. Sometimes we must admit that it is not our day or not our luck. If we don't limit our funds, even we can lose everything in a single day, including home or cars. How to deal with this all, the key is to control yourself (point 2). I assume that point 1 and 2 are still closely related.  ;)

With the point number three (3), if we say we should not loan in order to have funds to bet on, I think it is quite similar alike in saying that gambling always leads to losses in the end. And we are just strengthening our belief to the phrase "Only bet amounts you can afford to lose". It is quite one sided to think about this, because there are also some instances that people win in gambling, they could win the jackpot and takeaway amounts that might change their life into positivity and escape poverty because of gambling.

Well, I found the reason why, I think it is because we are considering the frequency of gambler's life turns out to be miserable. Yeah, honestly I believe that the probability of overall winning is lower than losing in all games.

But we should think that it's like a lottery, the chance of winning is low, but if we are lucky, it could change our life depending on how we will react to the outcome.

Indeed, it is not as easy ad making as making a do' s and dont list, applying these things would be hard because it would require self discipline and control which are things that cannot be initiated by most of the people due to urges and desires. The list, are the things which is ideal but still, there are gamblers who are being dragged by addiction and that simply proves the difference between enumerating and making plans from the actual.
But most of the time, expectations and plans do not meet the reality. That is how powerful money is. No matter how you set a point to stop, once you are hooked up into gambling, it would be hard to escape. Huge losses, frustrations and stress would make a gambler urge for a 'comeback' and hope that he would someday achieve the goal of winning bigtime, not knowing that his losses are bigger already than his desired 'win'. That's how addiction works, if I would say.

All in all, maybe number two will be the most important thing that every gambler must have because self-control will be needed in gambling games. We can say that we have control for ourselves, but the next question is, how long can we control ourselves? Because many people lose their control after they play for some rounds, and that is because they are curious about the next result, or they can win the money, but they want more winning money.

When you sum it up then all you have to do is to be busy with something else.

Do not get eaten by gambling. Everyone needs rest.
And if you could do that in some days then that means you can really control the addiction.

Yeah, it is fun to win but that doesn't always end that way.
Most of the time is a losing streak.  :D
My suggestion is have something that you really like to do.
Reading, watching some film like tv series, or whatever it is just to get your mind out of gambling for some time.
Time management also works.

Outcome or fate will depend on how they do deal up with gambling.If they do let theirselve attached to addiction then this would be surely the thing to happen into their lives which they would be wrecked
up badly in terms of financial aspect.If they dont like for it to happen then they should deal it on other way around.

There were lots of advises that you can read up or even do tell by your family and relatives but those things will be useless if you just simply ignore those words or suggestions.
Gambling isnt bad on general sense but when you do get addicted with it then its an another story.

We've been consistently giving advice to other gamblers how to handle things so that they wouldn't end up badly. But, it's impossible to know if they follow any of those suggestions that we give to them.

I think you should add this to no.1, the famous quote and advice that


And as we read the other comments, we tend to see the "enjoyment" factor as we gamble. Is it plausible to add that to enjoy when you gamble if you are for the entertainment but don't get overjoyed?

Well, these suggestions are very common here in gambling discussion but I like this community I always saw a thread like this that always reminds people to avoid addiction. We are very lucky here that we are always reminded of each other sharing ideas like this. Perhaps a gambler that came from this community will never be addicted because you can apply these kinds of suggestion, --if you are solely in gambling. Indeed, these are nonsense if you did not apply in your self.

Still what were the use of those threads because we are continuously seeing a lot of people are still getting gambling addiction and losing their hard earned money. I mean to say these kind of discussions will not stop those gamblers but they will learn their lessons by their own way. I am not saying that we do not need such threads but I feel only part of this community acts in responsible way and rest of community never understand their own responsibilities.

These threads will serve its original purposes only when we trigger gambler to start realizing their life's responsibilities. Only for a responsible gambler, being controlled while gambling will be possible like OP suggested. The first thing is enabling this community to realize their responsibility as a gambler then suggestions to them wills tart working.

This forum, especially this thread is just an extension of the mind more likely to support every one on what they are taking in relate to cryptocurrency. Well as a gambler it is your duty to ensure your safety dealing with online casinos that is why researching is vital that would cost you a little time in exchange of prevention to lose everything. I've seen some people are having hard time dealing with their addiction, mental health and other negative stuff caused by gambling, the real problem is with them coz if they want to change their lifestyle they should start changing their mindset first.

That is why people needed to take not of this suggestion because it is highly recommended and it really can help everyone, we need to moderate the funds that we are releasing we need to balance it so that in case of emergency there will be funds. Not all funds needed to be put in gambling although some of us make it as their work.

^ That's what we called, spend in gambling the amount that you can afford to lose. Probably 5-10% only on your salary will go to gambling if you can afford it. Put your higher amount and prioritize your family and of course, there should be always a savings for an emergency purpose like a calamity that we will not know will come. Nevertheless, OP did a great job, all suggestion was right and this is very useful to others who begun addicted to gambling.

If online gamblers or gambling at Casino followed these recommendations or others, there would be no addicts to the game. Or at best they learn self-control. We know how to keep control of life because we have learned it. It is also true that there are people who do not like to receive advice about the mistakes they make. Only when they fall and want to get out of addictions do they give credit to the advice.
Thanks for sharing. I think it is useful to always discuss it to support our community.

All of you are right. As long as we know how much money we need to use in gambling, and that money is free money which doesn't use for another thing, we are good to go. But don't even think to add more money in gambling because that can tempt you to continue playing gambling, and that can make you forget your limit. The suggestion needs to be read by new gamblers so they can prevent the worst thing that can come to them.

For gambling players having fun might not care about the risk of losing a portion of the salary allocated to enjoy gambling, I mean they will stop gambling if the funds have been lost. That will help control yourself to manage finances that are worthy of real life.

I agree on all of them and they are basically common sense stuff that you should be figuring out yourself without really seeing anything but at the same time it would be wiser to actually realize these people who do not follow these rules also do know these rules but still can't follow anyway.

I mean think about it, a person who takes a loan to gamble, do you really think that he doesn't realize how deeply disturbing what he is doing? But they are addicted so you can't really stop them at all. Or a person who spends so much money on gambling that they hurt their family with lack of funds for stuff they need to live with. These guys who do not follow this 6 steps actually knows what they are doing yet they are doing it again because they are addicted and have problems.

These are great points a gambler should always remember before betting their whole life for a one more game. Life is much more precious, many opportunities and possibilities ahead, gambling is just one of them, one game, win or lose could change your life; how you live and interact with other people around you. Also, a gambler should always consider and expect anything when they make a move, so they could value their decisions more and wisely.

I am afraid that many gamblers don't use that suggestion before they played some games because the first time people come to the gambling place is because of they curious about the game and it feels to gamble with money. Suddenly, they realize that they are losing money, but that does not make them stop playing gambling. Those tips should be known by all gamblers so they don't risk their money in gambling because there will be many other things that more important than playing gambling in their life.

People who are losing money intend to recover everything, this is the big mistake that most gamblers have in common trying to find luck and forget about limitations, with this guide being implemented correctly a gambler will be able to save himself in great problems that gambling addiction might bring to him and his family. It should be a must to take into consideration before playing.

though the problem is not about the money but the holder of the money because it is Us who is responsible for the accounts.

Look if we can control our self then there will be no problem even if we will play daily because the amount we will spend is just enough for the day and not risking all the money in Hand.

If you are just having fun playing. But more of the gamblers play not only for fun but to win .

And the the truth is every time there is always money involve that can wipeout your money with just one mistake prediction and you may lost it all. It will hard to control when you are too greedy to win  the amount you want to win.

One thing that I always recommend to those that may seem to have a problem with their gambling is that the best way to limit their gambling activities is to find something else to do, in my experience those people do not have too many hobbies and other activities they may like to do so whenever they have some free time they gamble, but if you have many other hobbies that you like to do then even if you have a lot of free time you will find many ways to entertain yourself and this will lower the amount of time and money you spend gambling.

I think the key to controlling gambling is understanding why gambling is for you, what it gives me, why I want to do just that, what I miss.
Perhaps various answers will come to mind that are the root causes of the desire to gamble.

I'll take your advice.
But at this time the best advice was to play gambling on gamble websites because it would be risky to play to other place or casino for sure because of the pandemic virus that is spreading around the globe.

Their are still a few gambling addicts that might attempt going outside just to gamble but hopefully governments is going to close casino or any places that have a crowd to prevent coronavirus.

Every suggestions you have pointed out are rightly worth it and every gambler should follow that.

It is wrong to overly spend on gambling, and to achieve that, one must have self control.

Loans from any source to gamble are out-rightly wrong equally; i will conclude by saying we should treat gambling as a leisure, and participate in it just for the fun of it.

The money management is important to limit the possible harm, there is no limitless bankroll to test every new strategy with real funds. Better to test the strategy in demo first.
Emotional control is the part of mastering yourself and ego death is the peak point to reach.
The worst part of the Gambler's Fallacy, the interest plus the main debt grows each day. The family help and therapies are necessary for healing yourself.
I advise taking a break after the every dip and thinking about the made mistakes in the game session. Exploring the game session with calm mind will help to control yourself and limit your loss.

Each gambler might differ on some reason but for sure they do have almost the same on the reason why they do play gambling in the first place.
Some just for fun but on majority then making money would be the main reason which isnt surprising.There are lots of things that should be considered on
so that you wont able to mess up your life with gambling and its been advised and been told for how many times even the basic ones but people
still commit mistakes because theyve been doing it too much.

In most of the countries that got heavily affected by the virus, all casinos are now close. If you see a gambler that still goes outside and by any chance, you learn where they go, you can report the area into the authorities. Maybe they go into an unregulated illegal casino.

These can consider as illegal gambling as they can still operate freely amid the pandemic virus scare.

Help the government by reporting those.

Yes, to execute them must depend on the gambler. Few gamblers may think they are common suggestions and not really necessary things. For typical gamblers like this, we cannot help much. But at least, we have already reminded them of those suggestions.  :)

Thank you so much for these additional suggestions. I will put them directly on the OP. I'm waiting for your other feedback on my other threads. Very nice to see your contribution to support the topic.  :)

As expected, all casinos are closed. But do not get surprised if underground gambling continous, especially to those ultra rich people. They may require COVID negative test results, or maybe they can go online. There are still many ways to gamble because online casino are still operating.

as far as I know when you use borrowed money to gamble it will only make you more stressed when you experience losses and failures when gambling, it's better to use money that is really not very used so that when you lose then if you lose your assets won't be too frustrated.

Indeed. We just force ourselves too much if we gamble with borrowed money. What for? There is no guarantee to win big prizes with borrowed money. We must remember that gambling isn't an investment, it is more likely a luck game. As it is luck-based, it is better to play with what we can afford. Borrowing money will be too risky, on the next attempts we may get more losses. Just stop playing when no money for gambling anymore.

Not everyone has the same risk understanding as you explained here, the borrowed funds are like overdose for killing themselves in the long run. Risky choices may increase the adrenaline and this can be the reason behind choosing this option. Of course, I don't advise using the other people's funds for fun but some people can't get rid of the addiction simply.

It would be more worth for a borrowed money to be invested rather than on using it on gambling.Its true that it isnt worth the risk because gambling cant give out guarantees for you to win for you to be able to repay the loan you have taken.So its just totally dumb if you do consider out this option just for you to play.. Gambling is for entertainment and this had been said for a million times imho..
but people do treat the other way around and having false hopes that they can make themselves hell of a rich guy when they do hit up a jackpot which is almost nearly impossible.

It is true since if the borrowed money will be used in gambling, it is something that you spend the money without the guarantee of return and the most difficult fact is that you can lose it in an instant. Compared to investing it that is much better where its result will depend on how and where you invested that money.

Among all the good points that you have highlighted, I want to say that number 2 is the reason that we have all other points. Number 2 is the real reason that gamblers fall in the business, self control of course.

Lack of self control is a big challenge for gambling. When you have self control, you are likely to do better but so many don't have self control because it is about emotion and attachment of resources losses.

That is what we need to concern when we are playing gambling because we can lose control, especially if we win some rounds. We can forget the rule that we made before we played because we are in the happy moment for winning the money. So no matter what our conditions in the gambling, we need to have control and still remember that everything can happen in gambling.

This one is also important and some gamblers just cannot stop getting more loans thinking they could take back what they have already lost.
When all loans gets piled up it is getting difficult to come back up.
All your winnings just for paying up all of this and you won't even feel the happiness of a winner anymore.
More enemies. Loans being extended to the point where interest is getting higher.

I don't like people reminding of my loan. I'd rather lose all the money that I have and then stop and rest.

All of your suggestions are great and all of it is being ignored by the gambling addicts.
This is the problem of every gambler they focus or spend too muh time on gambling instead of their family.
They don't have limits on how much they gamble and don't know when or how to stop.

That is because addiction takes place on their mind which is hard to resist when it reaches the higher stage of it. where you will have a hard time controlling yourself from gambling. which will lead to a lack of time for the families and other important stuff. that is because you already lost a massive amount of money and all of your reasons are to get back what you've lost which will not happen soon or it will never be. We need to consider to stop when things are not good anymore, especially when people around us are not talking to us like they used to be.

Instead of gambling online, focus on your family and friends. Have some quality time and bonding because after this Covid-19 pandemic, everything will go back to normal. The opportunity to have some bond with our loved ones is not that easy as we all are busy working with our jobs. We should cherish the time we have with our family as this quarantine is continuously implemented in our country. We have nothing to do but to stay at home, you should just gamble after that quality time and if you have spare or extra money to spend for gambling. But you should also prioritize your necessities inside the house to prevent lack of resources as this virus is not that easy to eliminate. Just gamble all you want if this virus is already vanished  so that you can gamble without fear of getting the virus outside your house.

Luckily here in our town, most of the people are staying at their homes because they are too scared to get the virus out of nowhere if they go outside. Though sometimes, there are still people going outside of their houses which can't be avoided since they are going to buy their needs (1 person per household) to avoid the public market being crowded to maintain the social distancing. Our Government even set hours of buying foods in every streets, which is a good thing also.

Let's help each other and save humanity, also mother earth.

I think that we should not spend too much money on gambling. It's important to have self-control. If you do not have the ability to control yourself, you will lose all of your money. Gambling should be chosen as a mode of entertainment, if you expect too much outcome from gambling then surly you will become addicted on it.

Well said ;), having control while gambling is really important, even you are losing the game, do not lose hope, just focus on the game, there are still some casino gambling thay requires skills and techniques which requires you to use your concentration to win the game, so always focus do not let your situation bother you in playing.

Limiting your money while playing is also a good idea, it will make you know how much money are you going to be risked because if you are gambler, you should know that you are taking the risk, there is no assurance that you are going to win the game, so for you not to spend all of your money kindly limit how much money you are going to spend.

If we limit ourselves, you're within control of yourself and avoid any sorts of addiction. This is a huge help in order to put your finances at safer state and won't be in fear of losing huge quantities. Some folks won't able to make it, but as long as there's chance for us to prevent any circumstances; much better to take this advice.

Another important point for a successful game is choosing a reliable betting site. For example, the list of the most popular cryptocurrency sportsbooks you can find here: http://futbik24.net/rating-of-cryptocurrency-bookmakers/

Thanks for that list though I think I'm good.

Either way, despite the reliable sites where I gamble, I don't usually have that successful games as you said. I think this doesn't depend on the site you are gambling since if you are betting on a game that fully depends on luck then it will be based on your luck. It is true though those people should really consider reliable gambling sites.

And because gamblers specially addicted Players hearing nothing about advises because all they want is to Bet either lose or win.
But Thats it because almost all the Good words had been mentioned in OP and all we need to do is Read,apply and follow then for sure we will be save from addiction and ruining our life as we knew there are already many people spend their life in bad situation after being involve badly in gambling.

We have been seeing this same suggestion from time to time. It is really easy to give out suggestions, but quite hard to execute/follow the suggestions given to them. It is easy to tell a gambler to "Limit their funds" or "take a break now and then", but do you really think an addicted gambler will be able to do it by just telling them to do? If giving out suggestions was our trump card, then the whole world would be free of problems!

For online gamblers who would like to explore into the world of gambling even there is a pandemic outbreak you can now make the visit on this thread too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238786.0 because this thread had the list of the active online gambling platform and many people would like to play, but they cannot go outside also the users will direct to their ANN thread, so they know the review and background about the thread and also always make research too at your own to make more earnings because most of the people today are now aiming to have a good market income, so you better to choose wisely.

If someone is stubborn then the advice will not be heard they cannot be controlled if they are addicted to gambling it is up to them what they want as long as we do not ourselves to do that because we know that with addiction it will be close to destruction.
Stick to ourselves all the advice we accept and we apply to our self-pattern how to gamble by not spending all of his money and therefore from that advice is important for not being stubborn.

Thank you for pointing it out. I have seen some replies that stated the same opinion as you. I am okay with that and it is true that "self-control" is the basic thing to do others properly. All gamblers must have it in order to avoid playing gambling excessively and a dream with nonsense goals (ex: make gambling as the main source for income).

Sometimes we need time to make us having good self-control. But of course, we must do hard efforts if we are still hard to control our emotions. Each person may have different problems to control it. Some may control emotion easily, while others may be hard to control it. So, depending on the nature of the person.

You'll be right. Online gambling isn't having a different result when you are gambling at the casino. It all needs to have self-control and not let the gambling controls you back.
And I'm afraid I could be losing much at this time because we have nothing to do and roam around because of the pandemic issue. But I have to push myself out from addiction and to do some stuff in order to change the direction.

Spend money that you can afford to lose, this is why I'm still gambling until now. Maybe if I try to spend a lot of money and gambling with my greedy I guess I'll be someone which have many problem such OP says, I'll be have many debt, have a life that is not harmonious with the family and insane at the end. Because some of gambler which I saw directly, if he can't control his activity to gambling most of them will have mentally ill in their life.

It is very possible for a heavy gambling addict to have complicated problems in his daily life both in the family, the community so that it will disrupt his healthy mindset. I am convinced that the effects of gambling addiction cant be felt at the beginning of addiction. But many cases begin when all the money has been spent on gambling and that is where gambling addicts are no longer able to control emotions that can also interfere with his mental.

It is very difficult to control the desire to no longer bet if we are addicted. Of course this addiction is a definite problem for all gamblers so they must be good at controlling it as well as possible and minimizing the effects caused. If you are not smart enough to control your desires, finances, and time in gambling, you should avoid them because I think this is a good solution to avoid problems caused by gambling addiction.

I am using that suggestion too because I realize that I don't need to use too big money for playing gambling. That will be too risky for me because I don't feel I am good at gambling games, and that makes me use some little money which can give me the pleasure in gambling games. We better don't have a debt in our life because that will provide another trouble for ourselves, and as long as we can enjoy playing gambling with some money, I guess that is enough for us. We don't have to chase the win money because we don't know when the luckiest time will come.

I just want to add another suggestion at the list.

Gambling is a problem if gambling is giving you a problem. Many of people here think that gambling is just beginning to be a problem if you are suffering an addiction from it. Honestly, at first I think the same way but after some realization I came to conclusion that you must stop, if it's giving you a problem for example:

• spending too much money on it
• getting extremely angry when you lose
• having a money problem because of it
• or just simply, feeling sad after losing

If gambling gives you a problem, just STOP and take a break.
 

This are all the Meaning of being out of control in gambling and the bad thing is the start of becoming addicted as this symptoms persist.

If we are Playing with calm attitude,Accepting defeat and knows when to stop meaning we can survive the gambling habit for good but if the above is what you are doling?then better Get out the Betting before it is too late.

Good recommendations but gamblers like me who sometimes crossed the line will forget some of the advice and guidelines listed there, gamblers are emotional when gambling they throw every reasoning if they see the opportunity that they have a chance to win, this is one of my regrets I sometimes lose control.

It is for you to remember so that you will not cross your own border again. But if you keep doing it again and again then these guidelines are not working.
And if you play with your emotion then you are done so these guidelines and reminders depend to the gambler who reads it.

If im not mistaken, emotions are always there. You cannot gamble without emotions even if you're a master of poker face, the emotion is always there. It only matter when will you going to control and keep your composure in the middle of defeat, or how well you can keep a percentage out of your winning streak.
Setting your self a guidelines when you gamble doesn't going to work everytime, so you'd better choose to be a responsible gambler, the kind of gambler who thinks first of his family's basic necessities rather than gambling like a one day millionaire out of frustrations.

I somewhat agree,,, but I also see no harm in keeping the message fresh and live. I have had a tiny addiction problem before, not with gambling but with something else, and the problem is the embarrassment and shame and guilt,,, that makes you not want to face it or to takll about it. But sometimes, and this is why I love my friends to death, people are there for you to tell things positively to you with no judgment.

For online gambling it can be hard but responsible sites and admins will do their best to put people's lives first. So, even if we have to suggest it every now and then, the same way, the message is repeated and people listen to it one day?

Yes, the emotion will always there but as long as you can control your emotion, you will not have face a high tension in gambling. The high tension will only appear to you when you feel the emotion, like for example, when you lose, you become angry and sad, that can be a trigger to have the high tension, and in the end, you will lose the money without you know.

I agree that better to be a responsible gambler which not many of the gambler can do. Sometimes, they forget to think about their family and fills their needs because of the attracting of gambling.

That is definitely a problem in my country, legal casinos are closed but it is not rare at all to see people gambling on some establishments that can be classified as casinos and no one says anything, things are not so bad where I live right now but as we know the virus is very contagious and if people do not take this seriously things could get out of control as it has happened in other countries already, as such at the moment it is better to follow strictly the guidelines given by the authorities so we can return to our normal lives as soon as possible.

There will always be the emotion but it's for you to control it. Once you gone out of control, you know what's next. The problem that some gamblers have is the inability to control themselves. Because it's an important thing to know that it's a factor that triggers you mostly when you keep on losing.

yeah many gamblers experience to loose control as soon as they start loosing but for me i found out that this event can trigger depending on what games and strategy ive been playing  . like for example when i play dice and auto betting using martingale  , i can only see my bankroll droping and i cant stop it because martingale sometimes work the longer it run but there are times that i got busted and loose all what i got   .  same as when im winning  . atleast i already identify it   . the next time i play i know what to do to avoid loosing too much

Are you guys still using martingale? this is not effective for everybody. I have stopped using this long time ago and others can testify that this strategy isn't for all.
The result that it's bringing you should be enough to decide to stop.

The results that you can get in gambling is in your hands. You can come out of a casino or the online sits with profits or it is the other way around.

Gambling either in  casino or in gambling sites will not change the result but it can change the feeling of it though. Now that there is a pandemic, the best thing to do right now is not to gamble unless you are a rich kid and you can spend money in gambling anytime you want but instead of using your spare money in gambling it would be better if you will just donate it. Either way, coming out of your gambling addiction right now is good and if you feel that you are losing too much money already then now is the best time to stop already in gambling and spend your money in different things.

I remember when my father towards betting on the horses. If he won it was little, my mother was tired of my father betting, he no longer paid attention to her. One day, I asked him, daddy, not to bet anymore, you are losing a lot. He felt the concern of my mother and mine and he did not bet on the horses again.

He kept betting on lotteries but with more awareness. At this time my father enjoyed it because he won and he was able to buy some things for the house that was his goal.

Maybe compulsive gamblers need a moment to reflect and stop for their family.

you are lucky because instead of spanking you is what He did is listened and change His ways things that some fails because of gambling addictions.
Thats good enough because lottery only happens at least twice of trice a week i guess?so he can save more money and time .
But this is ahrd for them to realize but Good thing is now because limited areas to gambling and also limited Budget to spend.

all suggestions and advises are valid and nothing to be disagreed but i think This will take effect to those newly starting in gambling habit.
or to those who have Bright mind and self control to fight the Lust of becoming intact in gambling.
In the end it is still our decision as gamblers that will save us.

We have different kinds of techniques to make more earning of profit and income with the help of that techniques also at the same time we can get a lot of information by just on our experience all of the time when I gamble is always making observation but before I start my gambling I need to condition my self first next is to make a list then I go to the gambling platforms or even in the casino I try to apply all of the skills I learned and I have if I win it is good if I lose I need to list this on my list of mistakes and conclude why I lose my game and now make a hypothesis and conclusion to avoid it again.

So much sarcasm on this one. The things is, because the house always win and we rarely see us making profits in gambling, it looks like the results is always in the house hands, more like it is controlling our fortune or luck in gambling, it is inevitable, in my point of view. But yes, somehow I do agree that it is on our hands, if we didn't push our lucks playing, the probably our money would be all safe, but since we always try our luck in gambling, the result is always the same, which is we always lost.

Not all of techniques are applicable to use even if there is proof of it because we gamblers have different set of skills and mastery. We should find our niche like in trading where we should know what strategy is fitted to us. In gambling it is also a game of possibilities and luck, it only became too risky for those people who have doesn't have idea on it. They think it is easy money and that is why they are vulnerable in major losses.

If they are only going to read those advice, chances are they will easily forget it, but a trusted friend who is into gambling, now that's a different story and new gamblers can and will take that advice when it comes to gambling, we tend to listen more to those we respected probably a gambler who has control of himself.

How about the people who have already experienced a long time in gambling? Do you mean the suggestions won't take any effects? I can agree a bit with you, people who just have new habit in gambling seems more chance to realize them. But it doesn't mean the experienced one won't have a chance to be aware of them at all. In my opinion, it will depend on who and how they convey the suggestions.

Yeah those gpambkers who lose the control and spend all their income into kind of game and later on they regret it so they should not do this but instead of it we should prefer to safe our money and spend limited Amount the other thing which matter in online gambling is safe and trust worthy website if you will get safe site you will feel safe and will be able to get high profit.

Regrets doesn't come first it's always behind so even though their are bad stories given still their are others who choose to get broke since all of this are decision to the person who gamble, It's really easy to tell that we should do a moderate gambling but if we are on their shoes and losing frequently for sure you will bet more and try to get what you lose when you play.

However, losing your control and betting more without limitation should cause problems. I bet you will lose all your money and try to take loans. Then, you won't get nothing unless trapped in loans. Sure, whatever the reason, you must try to control yourself and think normally. So, it is better to take break a moment once you lose frequently.

That's right! I also know the feeling of anxiety and strong eagerness of getting back all of the money you loss. Actually, it is very hard to fight especially if you are now hooked on the game. But my secret to remain the control in my body is the fact that I will go to school with no pocket money if I lose again (when I was in college) ;D. I always tell to myself that my sanity should depend on my budget lol and it works. Try to find your own reason too.

Thank you for such a wonderful advise. Even if I already doing those advise before I read it, it will be a wonderful starter to read by the new gamblers. It will really helo them and that information must be teach to the universities that has a blockchain course. There are really enormous number of users that believes that their knowldege must spread because they don't want other to get harmed.

When talking about tips or advice in online gambling, for me to be prioritized is.

Focus: must be prioritized to get good results.
If someone is involved in online gambling, for that the player must have expertise that is smart enough in choosing and deciding, focus on quality not quantity, must have the expected results and be profitable, consistently, focus is a promising thing in getting profits in gambling games.

If someone is betting on online gambling, and does not focus on what he is playing, do not try to bet, be prepared to lose what you are betting on online gambling sites.

You are right but the problem is that the addiction clouds their judgement, many gamblers out there know they are addicted to gambling but they are afraid to change their ways because if they do and they stop gambling they will have to accept the fact they lost a lot of money and time in this activity and that now there is no chance for them to recover that money ever again, that is why they keep coming back, their desire to become rich with gambling changes and it becomes just a desire to breakeven, but since that is very unlikely to happen they keep losing money and refuse to see the reality around them.

Quoted from sheenshane;
For me, this is one of the most important things to consider in gambling, why? our emotions really affect our decision making, Sometimes if we are angry it affects our decisions and makes us too greedy. Not a good time to play in that situation, I guess we should avoid playing if we are experiencing some personal or family problems or any sort of issues that might affect or bother us.

That's a well briefing on how to stay safe on gambling. From my experience a small suggestion is, never consider earning out of gambling as the primary earning for living. Once I got to win continuously, upon the same my mind was strong to say through gambling I can make a regular earning for living. Further the lack of control caused a heavy loss, and learned the mistake of considering earnings from gambling for living.

That is better advice mate,never consider this as a main income area instead use this as part time enjoyment and part time Luck base profiteering.

at least if you win?thats a extra income while the truth is you have already enjoy the game and the experience.
Gambling will ruin your life if you missed how to manage this.

The idea is there but it is applicable to all "kind" of gamblers not only limited to online gamblers. It is a given fact that gamblers should not go "all out" whenever thry are playing , what is ideal is to limit their bets or the amount of their losses. But that is just ideal. Reality check, many gamblers both online and in casinos, are losing that much because of greed and frustrations but in the first place they are not lacking awareness of what should be avoided and what is to be done. That is how gambling works and also vices.

Such guidelines won't work if the individual himself won't initiate for the changes to occur. But I still admire the effort of sharing these tips, still it could save a gambler no matter how we look at it.

One of the thing that I think is missing is
'Always save your profits or at least a portion of it for future gambling'

I consider this an important aspect because most of the trader don't save their profits and rather use all of it in gambling and probably lose them.
If one saves a portion of their profits for future gambling then he will not have to invest more again and again and can rather use the profits which saved from the gambles itself. It is hard to save but this is what I have been doing. I used to save the capital amount I invested in gambling so that I can use it again in future and this rule has helped me a lot.

I guess it should be saving your profits for the reason of cashing out and NOT for future gambling. Because, in my experience there will be no differences between gambling today and tomorrow. Only losses always, then why should save for future? So, practical suggestion should be, if you get chances to make some profits in your gambling, go for immediate cash-out!

How you stop you from losing all your bankroll (Bankroll = capital amount in your terms). I find it is too hard to preserve my money once I added them into casinos. It will be definitely helpful for me as well as for this community if you share your specific strategy regarding this.

Online gamblers have more chance of getting addicted to gambling more than a traditional ones so the time limiting is more important than anything.Have other habits as well for your entertainment so you will have less time allocation for gambling and never every think you will become rich by doing gambling alone, think productively you can make if you involve in other gambling activities like promoting them, referrals, investing on it or even create a new one.

Kudos  for the suggestions, though I doubt if many will still adhere to these as we have seen in the past. Remember that, many gamblers keep coming under the roof of a gambling platform just to earn free sats for sustainment and would do anything to achieve this. One thing is for us to suggest and another for the gamblers to absorb them but what we see is, them(gamblers) defining all odds to sustains themselves to in gambling. Hope many addicts will take lessons home and rebrand themselves against any lost in the future.

Yes. As OP said, "Limit your funds". And a common saying, "just gamble what you can afford".
Those must be our consideration to allocate funds for gambling. Regarding the amount, it can be varied or different each gambler.
Even a professional gambler, I think he won't risk his family by using all money for gambling and don't care of more urgent needs.

Remember this: If we can play normally, then gambling should be a fun place to have entertainment and a proper place for a lucky one to dream prizes. However, don't expect too much in gambling like you expect to be successful in career.

   OP made good suggestions, everyone who starts with gambling should read this first. I share your opinion
Becky666, many people will skip reading this! But in same time I believe that many of them will lose and they
will come here and start paying more attention what experienced people have to say!
   Some people need to make a mistake, to not say huge mistake, before they wake up and start learning to
swim before jumping in the deep water! I don't know how else to say it!

Gambling should really be treated on this way but we know that the common mistake of most people where they do expect way beyond that red line.Its really dumb for you not to think about your family needs when it comes to money spending towards gambling. Risking your living or needs because of your addiction? It sounds crazy but this one is actually happening.Suggestions and recommendations are there but it depend on people if they would listen out of just ignore most of the time.Its just common sense and your own awareness would be your own weapon to fight towards gambling addiction.

It is very sad to hear a gambler forgets his family and just focus on gambling. I think it is more than addiction but I can't get the word to describe it. Well, maybe we can call it 'severe addiction'. This type of gambler must visit a therapist or mental health doctors. He needs a special treatment and serious handling. The common suggestions won't work to them as it is already classified a severe addiction.

The strategy is quite basic. Deposit your capital into a casino and do some gambling.
Once you make it double just withdraw the capital investment and then gamble further until you wish.
I know making the initial investment double is quite hard but that's what you are gambling for.

yeah it is basic but not easy to earn because this is may not riskier than you gamble in betting but still form of investing with high risk.
It is addiction with No Heart,for a person to priority gambling and let His family starving means he is not Human and has a animal attitude.

I remember that this is what I'm doing when I'm still gambling. Depositing a small amount (the highest that I'm using whenever I gamble is 0.001 BTC :D) and then when I double it or even triple, I will withdraw my winnings keeping the initial capital on the site.

This strategy isn't as easy as it is because not all the time you are winning. I've also experienced the time when I lost my initial capital, I also deposited all of my winnings on that site and gambled it again and unfortunately lost again :X. After that, I stopped gambling already  ;D

Well, we do have a word for it: Chronic or Compulsive gambling. This type of gambling is the worst of them all and you are right that people should really visit or approach a professional for these kinds of cases. It really needs a lot of treatment for this as this is not a laughing matter, the gambler's life  and his family depends on this treatments.

Honestly that is an advice that should be followed by not only those that want to gamble but by everyone in many other circumstances, gambling should be done only for entertainment purposes and yet it is not rare at all to see people gambling because they have some economic issues and they want to obtain some easy money not understanding that is a huge mistake, and then when they lose their money then they blame it all on the casino when they are the ones that are completely responsible for the situation they are in.

I hope it works, there are specific measures that can be done to deter addiction. Yet even though you read and recall the advice of this kind, gamblers will always be wasting a lot of money when they start playing. So long as they enjoy the pleasure of gambling, they will continue to do so and after gambling, there is a risk they may face.

And it's so tragic that some gamblers just don't mind that the money they've used all the time is for the kids.

*More time to spend in gambling = more possible losses

Definitely, this was a big struggle for those who are addicted to gambling already. They'll never mind about their family instead of having time with them, they will use it to gamble. The dark side of these people is they don't really know what they are doing, they don't care much about his family but more they are focus on gambling.

And before we got into this situation, we must have to control ourselves. We can go gambling but have to stick into limitation and is such a thing we can escape from becoming addicted in the future.

Agree, you got the most proper name for it, buddy.  ;)

Exactly. We can classify this addiction type as the worst level. This must be a warning for us to not forget your life and family even you are crazy with gambling. I'm also a gambler but I'm not a blind gambler, I know that I have lovely people who need my attention and funds from me. If we are aware of this, I bet we don't need to visit an expert or professional.

Even animal won't make their children starve.  :'(
