Going straight to the point I want to talk a little about bankroll management and how we can effectively practice this to optimize our gambling wins and also help control excessive gambling habits.

Starting off as an early gambler can be a lot of challenging going through loses and even getting through those early stages of unguided addiction, this was a case for me cause I can remember how to struggle to get myself in oder for a while when I started taking gambling serious for a while, most of us enjoy gambling and would gamble more often than others and its quite needful that we don't overdo it.

Many of you already know about bankroll management and might already be practicing It even If not fully but however i would enjoy to share my view on bankroll management and how to practice it in your own way.

Bankroll management by definition refers to the strategies and techniques used to manage your betting funds effectively, ensuring you can withstand losing streaks and maximize your winning potential.

To practice bankroll management there are a few tips you must know:

1. Set a budget: to me this is the most important part of bankroll management and I know a lot of persons most already practice this, why I consider this the most important is cause if you have set out how much you are willing to give to gambling that is the first step to self control and even if only this is kept you can effectively practice you would have no problem with addiction.

2. Divide your bankroll or budget: this is just spliting your allocation into smaller parts, so that you can easily control how you spend it on gambling, why this is important is cause at times we might find ourselves in situations where we want to stake too high that it might include a huge portion of our budget and if we lose or spend so much too early when the allocated time for the vmbudget to last has not elapsed or is closed to then we can be tempted to add more funds or take out of our extra cash to gamble again.

3. Determine and manage your bet size: why i recommend this step is that this way you get to spend as you should on each bet, I'm normally a high staker so i would allocate up to 5-15% of my budget to each game I should play and its depends on the odds or how confident I am and my risk tolerance with respect to each game.

4. Play safe: we have always monitor and adjust our bet size and allocation with respect to how much we have lost or how well we are winning so that we can stick to our budget and manage it through out our playing time, also dont chase loses cause it could throw you off track, try to take a break and have rest when you lose money and stick to the budget.


By implementing these strategies, you'll be able to:

- Extend your betting longevity
- Reduce the risk of significant losses
- Maximize your potential winnings
- Enjoy a more sustainable and enjoyable betting experience

Remember, Bankroll Management is essential for responsible and successful gambling. It helps you stay in control, make informed decisions, and maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.

The whole wall of text that you have written which can be tiresome for some members to read can be summed up as follows- a proper bank roll management will keep you from irresponsible gambling that can spiral into other areas of your life and make you a miserable person. Misery can come from the loss of your relationship because of your unhealthy gambling habits and activities. If you lose money, can get it back but it more painful when you lose the trust of your significant others in your life because of your irresponsible gambling.

This is a good TLDR for this post and if you read it and this one, they're not that different so basically what OP is saying is basically true and it's not really that difficult to point out the fact that those can happen as you gamble, I mean that's how it works right? Actions have consequence plus bankroll management isn't that difficult to do if you've got the discipline to do so, if you don't got the discipline to manage how your money goes in gambling then you shouldn't gamble at all.

It's crucial to identify the methods, patterns and strategies that can help one cope with his or her gambling lifestyle without altering or destroying the relationships between them and others, apparently you have just identified 5 useful tips that can help one in managing their funds in the area of gambling but at some point while I was reading some of the points tend to collide as they mean almost the same thing.

The result of a good gambling management is always very good as it's batter of self - control, self awareness and self discipline because it takes all this to adhere to ones own rules towards gambling.

This is a decent post and not a wall of text.

I find it better than most of the posts made here in the gambling section as it contains very useful information and in an easily understandable format. Anyone who is to lazy to read maybe should not be on a forum which is text based.
Also your summary does not cover even a little of what is written by the Op.

I agree with your tips
For a beginner it may seem difficult to do this kind of management, but I got great results managing my bankroll

My method is as simple as possible:
I bet on soccer, so I have 1 bankroll for each championship, I have an average value of each bet and this allows me to participate in the whole season without zeroing my bankroll
I also have losses, but I manage them well, and obviously there are times when I place bets for fun rather than focusing on strategy, but I only do this when I have enough money

The hardest thing for me is that I have to manage my bankroll myself, I can't separate account in website

If I am not busy at all and I feel like gambling for a long period of time. Let us say that I am receiving $250 every week as my total income, I will use around 2 to 5% to gamble.

Let us say that I use 5% of $250 on gambling. That is $12.5 that I have for that week to gamble. I like roulette and I can go as low as $0.1 while gambling with roulette. That means that I can gamble 125 times if I lose 125 repeatedly without winning. And it is not possible that I will not win. I can continue to gamble for the whole day but which is not possible as I will have other things to do.

Yes, it is, but it is easier said than done. We all know that bankroll management is very important, but we tend to forget that as we go along. I have had a lot of problems managing my bankroll in the past because we tend to become too excited and put an excess bet on what we should allocate. This usually happens when we lose and want to chase our losses when we forget the allocation and go ahead and exceed our bets.

Some games where I tend to lose control of my bankroll are Crash, Dice Game, and Coinflip. Right now, I'm ok with my bankroll, but there's still time that I do away with bankroll management and just go with the flow.

Bankroll Management really important to have for every gamblers as they can manage their money to playing gambling. But unfortunately, not many gamblers can understand this and even use more money just to playing gambling. They don't understand how to minimize or reduce the risks of the losses because they becomes excessively when playing gambling that can impact to their finances and gets more losses. If they can realizes about how to manages their bankroll, they will not gets any problems and can enjoy their gambling activity. But they must understand that they will difficult to maximize their winning as this is gambling and not a job or investment which can gives them profits.

This is well written and you deserve some credit for the effort. I want you to know that I read it all. Because I am kind of a seasonal gambler, I do not exactly pay attention to my bank roll management. I will categorize myself as a person who unintentionally adheres to the bank roll management tips.
The OP did a fantastic job. And it shouldn't be difficult for anyone who likes to read to read it. There's no too much words and very clear to understand. I had no problem at all reading it from start to finish.

The point is and I can confirm that the bankroll management and tips you mentioned are 100% useful, I won't argue with that, but that's all I know, it's a theory, the actual facts that happen when playing gambling are different.

To be honest, from the recommended tips that you convey, what I often do is point 4 where before betting, I have to choose a game that is really safe for me, at least I know the game and it is safe for me to play in a few rounds, knowing and understanding the game for me is important for us to be good gamblers in all aspects, that is important.

Maybe for points 1,2&3 where I realized I had done it, but wasn't sure if I did it correctly, which is clear as far as I remember doing it.

Set a budget. I think this is the important part to avoid excessing gambling.
Once we deplete it, we must be firm on our plan to never gamble anything anymore. We must set another date where the budget will come in and that's the only time we can gamble again.

That's always been the problem for most gamblers. How they will be firm on their own rules and be responsible gamblers.
It's difficult both ways. We chase losses when our set money is gone so we tend to deposit again. We are greedy when we win so we want to gamble more.
There's is no perfect plan, but the very least we could do is abide by our own rules or else it will be chaos and we will never control our bad habits once we broke the first rule.

All these are good rules to read and hear about.

But does a gambler really care reading advice from others? They started gambling in the first place to make big money and they are unable to achieve it - and the machine to make that money is right in front of them, hence they will never think about bankroll management but only how to acquire more money to wager, be it taking a loan, stealing money or worse.

Hence the wording "maximize winning potential" is wrong. If you want to win maximally, you need to stop betting completely, suck up the losses and move on.

Let say for gambler's who have alot of free time to gamble but have limited cash flow and decide to bet with just little amount to stay on for a long time, may fine this advice a twisting head for him since it will be opposite of what his believe is and how he managed his bankroll all the while.


Secondly bankroll management is very important to both those who gamble for the fun and those that choose gambling as means to make some profits, so regardless what your position is one indeed need a workable bank roll remain above waters while gambling.

It is very essential to control our bankroll or wager but at some point many people fall out of control especially when there is pressure on them or maybe they have lost seriously in their previous bets and they would want to top a little fund more to see if they may secure winning for the last time before they finally exit the bet, at this point they wouldn't know when they are going more worse by trying to chase lost.

For me any one who can control greed can actually be a responsible gambler because when the fund map out for the week or month is exhausted from their budget they can stay clear from the betting site or casino hall to wait till they refilled back their account before gambling again. A responsible gambling start from when a gamer or gambler began to control their greed index otherwise it's very easy for someone to become irresponsible gambler since they can't control themselves.

Alternatively the other way someone can control their bankroll is to have some specific target, like before they must gamble they should look out for some possible games that could give them winning even though it's said that winning is under probability but there could be a way to control like not to gamble regularly by scheduling weeks or months to be gambling.

Like, in every week you may decide to gamble twice and in every month you may decide to gamble six times making you to be able to share your bankroll into six places and whenever it's exhausted you could likely wait for the next month or when you received your salary before you could fund account again.

Op you have don well with this, actually Gamblers most times over looks the fact that no matter how much we profit from gambling self control should be one priority. Bankroll has always been a method and an effective one at that to help control excessive gambling experience. Where most gamblers makes mistakes is that they lack or fail to plan before going into gambling. They keep on chasing after their losses and with no plans or even record of what and how they have done so far, they continue gambling and losing more than they should. To reduce the risk of losing so much in our gambling activities, one must be able to keep track and control him self during gambling.

You sound as tho if he wrote it that way you won't be the first to frown on it, when a newbie does wrong you complain and when it's done right you also complain, there is no pleasing you guys on the forum, try to appreciate someone if it's done right, and leave your sentiment at home.

Anyway OP you've done well I can't imagine the time it took to do some research for this, you have written everything clearly and also made good points.

Bankroll should be considered as an must practice for anyone who gamble often cause thus can really be a big change and help reduce improper spending on gambling, like you said if you have a budget stick to it, that way no one would get lost spending yo much on gambling than he ought to.

I have always learn how to manage my bankroll when I am gambling. What I do is that, I have a gamble budget which I do set aside after I get paid. This is the money that I do use to gamble. Sometimes if I gamble more than my daily budget, I might not gamble the next day.

Sometimes when I am very busy, I don't gamble during those periods. Whatever makes me exhaust my gambling budget, I stop gambling until it is refilled the next pay day. Having time limit for your gambling activities is also good, as it helps to control addiction.

Come on man, you sound offended. If my reply offends you. I'm sorry. I was only stating the obvious and there is no place where I told him not to write a long text. Read it again. I told him that it could be tiresome to some readers(which is the truth) and went on to summarize it the best way I can. So why the hate?Anyways, if my text offends you, I am sorry. Love and light.

Not chasing losses is a very hard thing to do. I think it's underestimated. Most times we talk about it as something we can just switch on and off. It's very difficult, especially when I have money. If I do not have much money on me at the time, I might be forced to stop gambling, but when there's money on me, I always have the urge to want to win back what I have lost. Sometimes when I set out a certain percentage for gambling for the week, I might use all that money in a day or two and this would make me go over the estimated amount I planned to use for gambling for that week. It's takes a lot of discipline, I'm not there yet but I'm getting better at it. I have come to realize that it's a constant work in progress, I don't think anybody masters it.

There are even times when you'll be tempted to stake very high on a particular game. This happens to me when I'm only looking at the potential win and how huge the amount may be. Greed sets in and I want to win big. Like I said, it's a constant work in progress.

True, while the advice given by the OP is good, unsolicited advice is often ignored by the people that need to listen to it the most, and this is because they are not really ready to hear the truth, very often those people have to hit rock-bottom to consider listening to the advice of others, and even that is not a guarantee, since they could be so obsessed with gambling already they will prefer to believe their own lies over the truth.

1. Set a budget
2. Divide your bankroll or budget
3. Determine and manage your bet size
4. Play safe

For the benefit of those who are lazy to read then these are the actual points on which OP did post in regarding to this. Yes, these are the things that you could potentially be that be able to make yourself that follow
and made yourself that be able to have that kind of longevity towards gambling session without making yourself that getting addicted on which this is really indeed true. It is really just that there are people
who are really that not that much that good when it comes to self control and discipline on regarding their actions. This is why no matter how basic these things are but if someone doesnt have that
proper or enough control towards self then it would really be just that useless.

There are really just that people who are really that not mindful about stuffs about talking about future as long they've been able to deal up with something on which they do know that they could potentially break even with their loses on which we know that when it comes to gambling this would really be that a rare moment or a few could be able to manage on achieving such stuff, but of course it would really be needing up that
extreme luck as we do all know for these things to happen.

Yes it is quite confusing because to be able to last a long time running a gambling session it requires a possibly larger amount of budget, while the situation in question is those who want to gamble for a long time but have limited money, I think gambling should not be an option when you are in that situation, or if you still want to gamble then of course there must be a limit to the time, or that means you don't expect that you can last longer using limited capital.

But actually the desire can be realized if in the session you are really in a lucky position which means luck will be able to bring you to victory in the sense that the situation can make the amount of your capital increase, but yes however luck will not always come according to your wishes, but I'm sure it can happen. On the other hand yes of course bankroll management is always an important part that a person should have when he is involved in any of the activities that involve money, but if you realize that your situation is really not supportive to realize your desire then I think it's better to eliminate the desire.

Interesting question mate, I think you have first understand the concept of bankroll management and the first step setting a budget,

Setting a budget doesn't have to be big funds it could also be small and affordable funds, it's just bring out a specific amount if cash for gambling for a given period of time, let's say I earn up to 20000(speaking in my local careers so yeah it's quite lower in value to dollar) and I an decide to give only 1000 to gambling as my budget or even 5000 as my budget,
Then the next step is to determine how much from that budget would be your stake ratio, you could decide to stake only 10 per game or 100 per game it's your choice and I think this should be relatable to the amount you have at hand.

So if you understand this you would know that bankroll management doesn't really demand you to have huge income, its just a way to gamble right and not giving out more than you should and at same time staking smartly.


Your right, I also found out that people that tend to gamble in local casino or bet shops have little luck with applying bankroll management cause they have more tendencies to be more aggressive gamblers than most, but this strategy works best for those that gamble privately and want to utilize gambling as a source to get some additional money and not as a life changing money or getting greedy about it, worse of all is that people that are most greedy in gambling never get rich off it, it makes them poorer cause they would of wind up making bad decisions over and over again.

When you say excessive gambling habits you are referring to gambling addict, and controlling a gambling addicts is basically can be achieved when you keep the person out of cash, secondly when you also engage the gambler to a function that will take almost all his time for work and others, what I believe in gambling habits is that when you have the funds and you are addicted in gambling its difficult to be controlled neither you are catching fun or you're gambling base on you love gambling, some persons love to gamble and make money and some persons love gambling to be entertained depending your objectives in gambling,so basically gambling have a spirit and when you gamble to the extent of spirit of gambling coming in you, that means it will be uncontrollable.

It'll all boil down to self discipline concerning one's betting habit and wagering patterns. If you are easily affected by your emotions, like betting aggressively after a losing bet then you're not really doing it right. If you aim to maximize the chances, it would be best to stick with a certain betting amount. Gambling is a game of luck; you have no guarantee of both winning and losing, however loss should be always anticipated 'coz it would limit you on betting more than what you can actually afford to lose. By means of controlling the betting amount, it will allow you to have more chances to win.

If you have $100 to bet, it would be 10 chances if you will be using 10 on each game than to just go all out and have nothing after a single game.  Giving yourself 10 chances will also to assess whether you are lucky or not for that day, which also avoids the idea of you being frustrated and depositing another amount to force a win.

While I appreciate your list about how to control gambling habits, it still going to boil down to our emotions. And that will surely be agreed by other gamblers.

If you are in the right emotion, you'll set a budget, you'll play safe and all of those that you have said.

And you'll also not going to be greedy with any amount that you win. You will take a part of it so that if ever you gone out and lose, you are not going to lose all of them.

Anyone who only reads the title might think that with these tips they will be able to profit from gambling, when in fact they will not be able to profit from anything in the long term. I have always said that bankroll management is something that will depend on each person's monthly income and what that person will allocate for fun each month, when people manage well the monthly money they earn, they can know At the end of the month they will put $100 towards fun, and they can make a list of things they intend to do for fun and then divide the money for each thing. But what has happened to most people is that they start to look at gambling as the only source of fun or as a way to earn a lot of money quickly and this is what leads many people to ruin.

Certainly, it all boils down to how you manage your funds and building self-discipline when gambling. You cannot expect gambling to result into positive gains, that’s why you have to be cautious on where to put your funds and manage your bankroll wisely, so you can avoid too much losses and maximize your winning potentials. As much as possible, do not cross your limits in gambling, that is the best option to stay in track with your betting habits.

Others would even take things further by tracking every bet they make through a spreadsheet. I'm always impressed by those kinds of gamblers since it can become tedious if you're the type to place tens of bets throughout the week.

That's somewhat true, and aside from that, the consistency to control these emotions is also important because we sometimes repeat the same mistakes despite knowing the solutions.

the importance of bankroll management in gambling allows gamblers to be able to gamble more wisely and responsibly. they can gamble more safely and at the same time they can manage their finances, so that gambling will not affect their other needs and it will prevent them from unhealthy and irresponsible gambling practices. indeed, it is not easy to manage a bankroll, since gamblers also need to exercise restraint and be wise with their money, but if they succeed in implementing this then they can gamble responsibly.

Of course, we should be able to manage our bankroll well, especially if we really like gambling. As much as possible we have to gamble well and responsibly to avoid bigger losses, with those who experience a lot of losses of course because they can't manage their bankroll well, so they continue to gamble non-stop because they think they can get big wins. by gambling. even though we should prioritize our needs over gambling, what must be done is that they must be able to fulfill their needs and put aside their desire to gamble.
with those who are addicted to gambling, of course they sometimes cannot manage their finances well, even with the money they should use for their needs, but if they are already addicted, it is likely that they will think about doubling their gambling in the hope that the capital used can double and more than enough for their needs. That's true, of course gamblers must be able to restrain themselves and gamble wisely, including their finances for gambling. But this is certainly difficult to do if they are addicted to gambling.

I don't believe that someone who is irresponsible with gambling is suddenly going to change and become responsible because he starts to manage a bankroll. And besides, the bankroll thing doesn't make sense in many cases because if you're a casual gambler and you play casino games, you're going to have money tied up there that's of no use to you.

For skill games it is a must to have a bankroll. And in casino games if you are a regular it is an option. But as I said, I don't think that a degenerate gambler who goes to extremes that make him resent his relationship with his loved ones is going to change because he has discovered bankroll management.

True, one of the important things about having a bank roll is to minimize the risk of losing or depleting other sources of funds, in that way, we learn to limit our gambling based on how much we have in our budget.
It can also help us to evaluate the gambling time we spend each time we gamble as well as tracking our spending habits and having a bank roll makes it easier to know when we should stop or continue gambling.

To be honest what the OP said we always talk about it in other threads, along with some of the consequences that will be caused regarding a gambling problem that will have a bad impact, but indeed we need to refresh the discussion and continue to remind, because human systematics always ignore and forget, so it is necessary to renew the warning with many different thoughts in different ways even though the goal is the same, namely gambling responsibly.

Fund management, self-control, time management, decision making, self-limitation and others are our efforts to not do badly in our gambling activities, often people lose themselves and their money because they cannot identify what to avoid from excessive gambling activities that allow fatal bad effects on gambling, I think some people need to be specifically told and harshly warned if they are not aware of what they read here to prevent it, because if they are bad at managing money and personal emotions, it will lead to very bad habits, so prevention from today needs to be changed and aware of the possibility of getting big losses if they cannot manage personal funds and emotions when we like gambling as a place to have fun.

I'm also impressed by that kind of people, and by those who not only track their bets but also other expenses like electricity, groceries, etc. I think that such a tracking can be positive in many cases, some people may even need it to feel more confident.

But I personally prefer to keep it simpler, always setting limits and making decisions if I'm about to break any of them, though.

That's safe and secure for rich gambler who owns a huge amount of money, bankroll for average player isn't applicable. Though it's a way and strategy to maximize potential winnings, I don't think controlling excessive gambling habits would be possible. When a person is lucky enough to win by all means of strategic approach, then there's no hindrance as long as it's for you during that day. Choosing to control ourselves, depends on our attitude based on reality.

the main reason why gambling addiction is on the increase and people are still struggling to break free from it and are still unable to do so is because most people just go into gambling without a single plan at all and end up allowing there emotions to come in Thier way making them to continue gambling as long as the funds is in Thier disposal and only realizes they've gone too far at the moment they've lost all thier fortune to gambling.

proper planning isn't a concept that should be joked with in life or else you put yourself in a situation were you just allow things to fall into place by chance and become an unfortunate person most of the time.

For me, it's necessary we first off establish the fact that gambling isn't supposed to be your primary hustle. You don't gamble as though it's your surest root to wealth creation. Set out a weekly amount you wouldn't go above regardless of the urge to doing so, and even when you're lucky at a certain week, don't try to be too smart and go all in to increasing ty amount all of a sudden. The big players win big and there is no doubt about that but most of them are financially strong to athe point were losses don't move them that much and they can easily recover from thier losses in there next big win and even if it doesn't come as fast as expected, they wouldn't still be at a serious diadvantage as most of them have an active business that's still fetching them money. As much as possible, don't ever get tempted to gamble with your business money regardless of the urge. It's an irresponsible act and wouldn't serve as a good recipe for your business growth in the long run.

Enjoy your gambling but the key has always been to Gamble responsibly.

Most times I hear people say, betting or gambling with small amounts does not give big wins. Others feel that being extra careful as a gambler does not guarantee success as. The most important benefit of managing your bankroll as a gambler is not necessarily to maximise profits, yea  profits can come anyway, but this is gambling we are talking about. The most important benefit is that it helps to reduce the risk of significant losses.

For gamblers who are only interested in making profits, who are persistently chasing losses, they will never pay attention to this aspect of gambling that helps to reduce their risk of significant losses. This is why we have lots of cases of gamblers with gambling problems because losses in gambling are inevitable no matter how skilled you are.

No good technique for gambling is a waste. If its truly a good technique, two things are involved. It's either you maximise profit or you reduce your risk of significant loss. So, play safe.

Most gamblers hurt themselves when they look up to some "successful gamblers" as role models or even engage in an unhealthy competition with these successful gamblers without taking out time to evaluate the financial positions of these gamblers they look up to and themselves. Most of these successful gamblers are already rich and can spend huge amounts of money on just one game without feeling the impact of that amount that left their bank accounts. Obviously, they are gambling with amounts they can afford to lose.

Imagine a common gambler who is not doing so well for himself aiming to gamble above his limits, the end can disastrous if he is not lucky. This set of gamblers need the lessons on how to manage their bankroll the most. If they can successfully manage their bankroll, then that's a good way to start with instead of engaging in unnecessary competitions with those that are far ahead of them in terms of finance and effective risks management.

True, I'm also one of the people who gambles that will keep records in everything, what I mean everything is everything because every bet, expenses, status if lose or win I record it, I created my own organized spreadsheet and as an IT graduate creating such complex spreadsheet is easy, I created a spreadsheet so that I can keep track if my initial capital is growing or losing meaning every week I have an allocated funds for my gambling habit and by doing so I can monitor if my capital is increasing or growing so that I can have my own limit, If I see in my spread sheet that I'm losing it all then I know when it happens and I can see what I have done wrong, tracking records could also be a good data so that a gambler can analyse where he is winning the most or what gambling games to avoid. If I can, I want to make my own software, whose purpose is to track and record all my gambling activities.

This part matters alot because gamblers always lose focus from the original plan when they are losing. After two or three loses, you will notice desperation and anxiety to win back what have been lost so it may lead to increasing the risk appetite which means more risk in accumulating to the loses.

So taking a break is a safe guide to coming back stronger and keeping to the existing winning plan with bankroll management. If you risk so much of the bankroll, you have lesser chance of trying to get back after losing but minimal risk will give opportunities for more games or bets with the bankroll you have left.

Some members or gamblers on this forum have used only two to three paragraphs to describe how to manage bankrolls in different topics, but you seem to be writing way too much for just a few points that needed to be grabbed. Well, bankroll management is a very vital aspect of gambling, and if well managed, a gambler can hardly become an addict. And, like you said already, new gamblers who find it difficult to manage their bankroll are the people who are in danger of addiction. Bankroll management can even make a gamble to be more careful because they are aware that if they gamble recklessly and lose all the money, they cannot continue until next time. 

We don't win in gambling all because of excessive gambling or addictions, we have to control our way of gambling and see that things were being done in our own favour, we are not expected to get addicted all because we are so desperate to win a bet while gambling, instead, it is expected of us that we maintain a steady and consistent responsible gambling pattern for our own benefits, also, we should gamble for fun and not for making earning money or being addicted,.

Yeah, that's another part the consistency of controlling it.

If you are able to control it and you know that you are in total control, there is nothing to worry about you when you gamble because you know how to set it up and volume it down.

Not like those gamblers that cannot control themselves, they are having an headache to themselves and that's why they keep on losing more because they are forgetting about that it is their emotions that keeps them pushing on.

It's just another form of saying don't gamble more than you can afford to lose in my perspective.

I won't take gambling too seriously, sure I will be responsible but taking it seriously is different cause it game of chance not skills so all you can do is ensure the longevity of your betting which not necessarily mean increases in the winnings, if you have $100 to bet and losing $50 in two bets is no different from losing $10 in 10 bets.

The major issues sometimes is that some gamblers actually do start up with this kind of mentality but as humans, the will power and ability to control that feeling that comes with losses is actually the major issues, sometimes you plan but after the first loss your whole mentality changes, making you confused and all worked up and in that case if you do have more funds in your bankroll you will be tempted to even deposit more and try playing to get that actually first money you used. Addiction in gambling is real and only some gamblers will well discipline mind can actually get to limit their selves and control their burning urges to chase the money they have lost.

Having a gambling budget to manage our gambling activities is okay but we should have the willpower to implement them. Having a good plan or okay but abiding by it is more important. So I agree that our emotions as important as having a good plan. Greed propels chasing of loss or gambling more than we can afford to lose. So if one can be content with gambling outcomes at a particular time, the chances of becoming addicted will be slim.

The world is moving so fast that long writing is now an offense. People are moving too fast that they can't spend few minutes to read a few paragraphs. Judging from the original post, I think the writer did a good job and he also explained his position extensively. It is not compulsory to read or respond to a thread and it if is too much for you just ignore it instead of complaining. We need to encourage good work and not discourage members from putting effort into their work.

But the problem with many gamblers, the contentment won't be there as soon as you started to see you are on a losing. That's the hard part of it and that's why someone who's good at controlling with his emotion and then losses it eventually will have to try it even harder.

It's not just all about losing but I agree to the latter part about being addicted to it. So, if you're not going to make yourself comfortable with how you gamble and you can't maximize your potential profit as to how you control your emotion.

You need to be careful with that because these habits will definitely going to lose your mind.

Bankroll management is indeed the top of the top of successful gambling,yet it's often easier said than done.It's understandable how financial pressures can cloud judgment and lead to impulsive decision-making.Your experience reflects a common struggle faced by many,where the pursuit of a max win becomes ever consuming,making you going from prudent to being a straight loser.

Recognizing the pattern of behavior you've described is a crucial first step towards regaining control.Seeking professional assistance or guidance could provide valuable insights and strategies for managing both the financial and psychological aspects of gambling.Whether it's through therapy,support groups,or financial counseling,there are resources available to help break the cycle of compulsive behavior and cultivate healthier habits.
I have suffered personally from the compulsive gambling behavior these last 2-3 weeks as I lost everything pursuing that max win and I think I need professional help myself.

Yes, this is something the most crucial thing but majority of gamblers do really fail on following this basic stuff.  ;)

This is why gambling industry is really that profitable or something that do make that huge revenue just because people are really that really forgetting on how they should really be having that kind of moderation
when it comes to gambling stuff. They do really make themselves that delusional about it on where they are really that believing that they could really be able to make money or would be able to make themselves rich towards it. On the moment that you are on such moment or having that kind of mindset then this is a solid indicative sign that you are gradually becomes addicted to gambling on which this is really that very bad.
If you wont really be able to control yourself then sooner or later you would really be sleeping into the streets.

Gambling could really mess up someones life if you wont really be that careful with it and this is something that you should really be looking upon because if you would really be that careless
with your decisions and make yourself believe that in gambling you could make huge money then better stop as early as you can. Execessive on everything including gambling could really give out that devastative
condition on which you didnt expect that it could happen into your life. So better be careful and sensible on the actions that you are making.

On the contrary, most early gamblers actually find it so easy to win and because of this many of them develop bad gambling habits that later hunt them. If you do a simple opinion poll in about this, you will be surprised at the result you will see about how good many people started gambling before it because a little difficult. Assuming they started roughly with gambling, there are high chances that they will run away and never come back. So the trick that gambling play on us is making it look so easy at the beginning before reality sets in after we are already committed to gambling. The reality in this case is that gambling is not a quick way to wealth but can be a huge opportunity for financial fortune.

I agree with all the points you have raised with particular emphasis on bankroll management which is actually the key to peaceful gambling. What I would have wanted you to explain more is the first point because it is not too clear to me how one can extend his betting longevity. If I understand you correctly, you may be suggesting that instead of gambling with big amount in a single round, one can divide the money into many parts and gamble with each part per set.

And who said a wall of text is becoming an offense? (I guess you didn't read that from my comment). In some cases it can be annoying reading of a wall of text that is just full with nonsensical garbage that doesn't make any sense. What I said is not in any way to discourage the OP, I didn't say what he or she wrote was not good. We all have our opinion and I just aired mine.

All the points are there OP. In short, we need to become a responsible gambler rather than addicted to gambling.

But honestly, it is a big challenge for everyone to keep such things because I am sure, that sometimes we commit mistakes especially when our mode changes. And most of the time we spend more rather than less, especially when we win big. That is why I could say that gambling should not be our focus but just our pastime because the more we spend time on this, the more we fall into addiction. And a reason why we don't consider this as a source of income instead, additional expenses.

It is very true, sometimes we are people who cannot despair of seeing plays where we do not win and because our psyche does not allow us to do well, because we get anxious and the fact of seeing that we are losing sometimes causes that type of desperation that does not It allows you to control yourself well, sometimes players try to see this desperation as the easiest way to minimize it by playing with more money and with higher stakes to see if they can recover and prove that it is the worst. of decisions, that's why it's Well, just rest, that's why I find that these things, these types of decisions that I also make when I'm trading and I don't have good feedback, sometimes resting for a while is good.

The main point that we should pay more attention to is that yes as you said that our main focus is to only make gambling a hobby activity or something that is useful to be used as a place of entertainment without putting seriousness or excessive expectations on winning, and on the other hand it is clear that when someone puts excessive seriousness and expectations on gambling, especially on winning, it will certainly be very difficult for them to take various actions that lead to prevention because of course they will always make decisions that tend to be excessive because of their intentions and goals to produce.

In terms of enthusiasm, yes it is good but the problem is and their biggest mistake is that they put their enthusiasm or hope in the wrong place which as we know that gambling is nothing more than a probability activity that has absolutely no certainty and guarantee of anything, meaning that most likely the intention and purpose to produce in the end will only make you or anyone experience a lot of downturns because the risk of defeat can never be separated in gambling.

Yeah, I agree with what you have said. There's this saying that "every responsible gambler once displayed compulsive gambling symptoms." The discussion about bankroll management is easier said than done, but the ability of a gambler to quickly realize when they are getting addicted is very necessary. It's natural to get carried away while gambling at the casino, but the ability to quickly call back your senses is what makes you a responsible gambler. 

Secondly, there are better ways to manage your bankroll. If,  for example, you want to spend $100 on gambling, you can divide the money in half and deposit only $50. After the first deposit is spent and nothing is won, you can just take a break and try later with the remaining balance. Sometimes a gambler also needs to apply their common sense in terms of managing their bank role. 

On the moment that you do gamble then you shouldnt really be expecting something from it like having that huge wins or even thinking that you would really be that becoming rich with gambling on which we know that once you do have this kind of intellect or thing in mind  then it will really be that causing that huge mistake on which this is something that must be avoided since from the start.
Dont think about on maximizing  your profit with gambling because results and outcomes isnt something that you could really be able to know or would be able to predict.
The key on here is that if you do have that kind of moderation towards it then it wont really be something that too easy in regarding about stopping or having some break.
Gamble for fun and not for money on which this is something that will be needing to instill into your mind.

It's true that gamblers have to manage with the risks of losing money in gambling process. Delving deep to the cause of such things it'll be clear that it happens to all gamblers in a different way. Some are able to control this while others struggle with the process and mostly fail due to uncertain reasons. Many would say lack of control while others level it down to greed.

Gamblers may be behaving differently, but handling a better gambling strategy is a task quite difficult for most gamblers. Hence, starting out for the first time will never be simple. And most people stress themselves out trying to fix their gambling problems. It's funny looking at it that many players struggle with their gambling aims forever. Players need to own good gambling aims and principles to maintain a lasting control while gambling.

That's right, that's the mindset that should be in a gambler's brain, which is to never think about winning, or never put excessive hope in winning because after all it is a fact that this mindset will only make a gambler feel excessive disappointment when the results turn out to be the end of the session is not what they wanted and it is clear that this situation can trigger emotions and various actions that are out of control. I'm not saying that you have to focus on losing, but it's better to just be neutral by considering that victory and defeat can happen at any time, which simply means that if you are unlucky then you will lose, but if the opposite is true then yes you will be able to go home with a win.

One of the reasons why it is better to be neutral is so that you can easily accept a losing situation when you are unlucky, but the first thing that must be correct is from understanding first, namely that you must understand that gambling is always about two things, namely winning or losing, simply put. you can win but you are also very likely to lose, and by having a balanced perspective on gambling then I think it is less likely for you to get emotional when you lose because you already know that losing will always be a possibility that cannot be avoided in gambling.

Wow impressive and we'll detailed information that will go along way in amending and keeping the gambler habits at balance,I know the thread could be tiresome to read up but then the information it's carrying is something that would really be of great advantage not to only an addicted gamblers but to everyone that's a gambler so they can effectively know how to manage their bankroll and  know when to make certain decisions and be discipline and responsible with their dealings in every aspects.

No need to chase highs or fear lows in gambling. Seeing each play as a play. Accept wins and losses as two sides of the same coin. Equipping neutrality is like a mental barrier against the emotional rollercoaster. You can make rational decisions based on odds and probabilities, not your mood. Understanding that each bet is a calculated risk, not a certainty. This method is healthier over time. It prevents you from getting attached to the outcome, which can lead to unwise decisions and disaster. Gambling risk can be managed with it. It's like a safety net for inevitable ups and downs

If it was posted in the forum like this, I don't think it can be considered as unsolicited. A true unsolicited message or something that begs, is still/indeed inappropriate even the people receiving them are addicted for example and wants help. We can only let them regret and feel sorry for their selves or like you said when they hit the rock-bottom, and that would be the time for them to approach us for help.

I think that the only way for us gambling to maximize our winning potential is if we can control our excessive gambling habits or thoughts, just like what the title implies, and not about using some in game strategy or something similar.

When you have money, the lure to carry on with gambling can be overpowering. Despite any restrictions you place, like allotting a specific percentage to gamble each week, it can prove challenging to adhere to them. You could exhaust all funds within a day or two's time and subsequently feel driven to surpass what you had determined as your limit for the period.

Conquering these cravings calls for a great deal of self-control. Though at times you might feel you are yet to attain that state, acknowledging that this is an incessant work in development bears positivity. No one achieves perfection in this, but every tiny stride towards enhanced self-discipline counts as advancement.

Betting large amounts on specific games holds a strong allure too. Greed tends to rear its head upon glimpsing the potential of handsome rewards, urging one to plunge into sizable risks. Yet it bears emphasis that gambling hinges entirely on chance; thus, striking equilibrium assumes paramount importance. An ongoing effort towards skill enhancement and taming those impulses marks a positive stride. Here's to your continual change and attainment of that sought-after discipline, cheers.

what I know is that in gambling we have to take an adequate precaution knowing that gambling is a something of risk on the there is every possibility that what you think that will happen in gambling may not happen because you are expectation in gambling must to be always positive why gambling and for you to participate in gambling I think that you have to take adequate control and measure

I think people will learn from such posts and implement one or two advices shared by the op, which could be of much help to the safety of most players. Any means of helping gamblers is acceptable provided that it's achievable. Gamblers have multiple reasons to read things that can help them escape problem gambling. It's not a simple thing to stay responsible as a gambler that's why such guides helps in reassuring the player to continue managing his funds and limiting his gambling sessions to a short period. Few hours on the machine is fine, no need running the day on gambling. It'll only make the player suffer more losses and stress. Maximizing winning potentials is something I don't admit, as it's almost not achievable to maximize how we win money, gambling.

Keep reading the advice and the experiences of other gamblers. This surely helps in correcting yourself. Gambling is all about self-control. If you're good enough to have control over your gambling activities, then you can maximize your winning potential. Most of the time, gamblers used to win well, but they don't know when to make an exit or comeback. When you're good at it, you can avoid huge losses, and taking advice will help you overcome stress when you're at a huge loss.

Most gamblers don't know when to quit because mostly they are chasing losses or they want more wins. Hence, they tend to continue their games even if they already have some profits. And if they incurred losses, that's one drive also to continue betting in the hope of recovering their losses.  It is hard to call it a day if the gambler is not firm with himself. Before he starts, he should know to what extent of losses he can take. And stop once he reached such limit no matter what.

Everybody will have their own new experiences in gambling which they will find their way out of it if it is a bad experience. The experience of other is only as a guide to people h=who may encounter similar experiences in gambling but if they ignore, he advice then surely, they will fall for it. There is a saying that you can take the horse to the river, but you can't force it to drink water. No matter how hard to convince people on their gambling addiction it is difficult for them to correct it. It takes a long time and luck for someone to get out of gambling addiction. 

I think the control would help avoid the risk but to maximize winning it's not going to be possible. Self-control only limits the level of losses we would make but can't maximize our profits.

Maximizing the winning potential and controlling gambling habits is just like practicing a healthy gambling habit, not an irresponsible one.
It is not about knowing how to manage our bankroll but the most important thing is how to manage ourselves to stay out of addiction and also control our greed. These are the reasons why gamblers never enjoy anymore in the sense that they are not gambling for entertainment but in the seek to make (more) money. The more we think about it, the more we lose control of ourselves and it is not healthy anymore.

The moment that our greed and emotional stress influence our minds, we forget everything. In order to avoid this, we have to start being a responsible gambler and make it a habit.

I agree with the input that you say, all of which are important things to apply to gambling and I have also done most of what you said by managing the bankroll well when we decide to gamble and I have also sorted out my finances so that I don't exceeding limits when gambling because I have set limits. Apart from that, I also gamble by risking money little by little so that the money I have can last a long time to be used for betting and can develop my potential to gain more profits, so bankroll management is indeed important apart from being a good gambler. We are responsible and free from gambling addiction.

I don't know if some people also do this but for me this is really important for gamblers who feel their money is not managed well because they are easily tempted by gambling when the money to gamble has run out even though with this management if the betting money runs out we are required to stop and rest while recovering your mind and being able to accept losses if you experience defeat.

This is why someone who wants to get involved in gambling is advised to first understand what gambling actually is like and understand the possibilities of what could happen to them, and the most important point is not only to look at the positive side or the benefits, but they also have to find out about whether the activity has a bad possibility or not, and from the start we should be suspicious or think that everything that involves the opportunity to make money should have a possible risk of losing money unless it is a general activity such as work. And I think it's clear that anything that has the opportunity to make money with little effort is absurd, but strangely there are still many gamblers who are unable to think rationally and realistically, and the key I think is always to use a healthy mindset and rational point of view when every When you find something, this is none other than to minimize the possibility of unwise decisions.

The only way to maximize winning potential if the potential payout is higher than the risk you take aka positive expected value (EV+). While everything you wrote are only discuss about money management i.e. gambling habits, you didn't talk about maximizing winning potential.

You can read what is EV+ here https://www.techopedia.com/gambling-guides/what-does-ev-mean-in-betting

Exactly what I’m thinking when I read the lengthy post with just a recycled suggestion on bankroll management yet it really doesn’t involved maximizing winning potential because all the method doesn’t involved increasing winning percentage but rather just to properly manage bankroll to avoid being bust early.

I’m surprised that this thread fish a hefty merit despite there’s a lot of same thread in the past that doesn’t even get a single merit.

You’re right about the EV. It’s the only way to maximize winning potential like arbitrage betting on sports that gives +EV.

        -   The one about setting the budget is right; here it comes in that the money you bring in should be limited when you play gambling in any casino here in the crypto space, even in physical gambling, it should also be implemented. 

It will help our casino players a lot, honestly speaking; it will teach us to practice self-discipline and self-control when we do this. It's a good habit for gamblers, actually.
So, all the things that Op mentioned here overall are indeed good and right as well.

If a gambler can understand these concepts stated by OP, and put it into practice, such gambler will not become addicted, and start chasing his/her losses. Another thing that a gambler needs to know is that, he should not always think of winning the next game, but rather he should have the thought of losing it, maybe this will make him to be careful with the amount of money that he wants to use to stake or might not place his bet anymore.

To be a responsible gambler is not easy because some people are very weak at controlling themselves in whatever they find themselves doing, especially when they are in profit. Some gamblers also don't know that they are addicted, which makes it a big problem for such gamblers.

There is a learning process for this, and it takes time and effort to fully manage the bankroll, it's not something you read and agree to and try to practice by memorizing there's a bit of trial and error in this process, I used to have issues managing my bankroll because of lack of control on when and how to stop but you will learn to do that in due time it really takes effort and time, especially when you're losing a lot.

Being able to control our budget is the best form of gambling responsibly, but most gamblers don't always look into this form of responsible gambling due to their interest in making more money while gambling. That's why they always go against the idea of limiting their gambling budgets. However, on the long run they tend to regret why they've been wagering without calculating. Such things has landed most gamblers into trouble and still, despite the regrets, such players will always wager more money on another session.

Hence, when gambling, looking into other people's experience can help a player determine what his fate would be as a gambler. Such things as reading Op's advice is a great way for gamblers to stay responsible, but due to their entanglement in the game, gamblers tend not to get interested in practicing what they've read before gambling. This negligence therefore lands the player into a problem gambling in a way that he wouldn't have enough to save for himself, he will lose out most of his funds in the game.

As you said responsible gambling is not simple, only a handful of people were able to control their urge for making more profits in gambling. And they enjoy this on the long term, because they lost only few funds and time. Gambling addiction doesn't get to such people and their emotions are always intact. Unlike other players who get compulsive and lose out every little thing they ever had, responsible gamblers, though not many in number, enjoy completely all the good things gambling has to offer, ranging from fun, to skills.

Gambling is exciting, especially when you're winning. However, discipline is key. You cant win by swinging crazy. Maintaining a budget is vital. This is the difference between a good night out and a financial hangover. Trust me - I've seen everything. Gamblers have lost their shirts, residences, and families. Not that you shouldnt gamble. You need to be clever about it. Be informed, know the odds, and know when to leave. Please seek help if you're struggling. Resources can help you recover. Gamble for fun, not profit. Go have fun, but gamble responsibly. Wallet and family will thank you.

True, to be able to manage a bankroll well will not be as easy as turning the palm of the hand, especially for gamblers who have just been involved in gambling especially for those who have not really understood thoroughly about how gambling actually is and what things must be prepared as a precaution when someone wants to get involved in gambling, moreover this is gambling which involves money and also many things that look very tempting which usually always tempt gamblers to ignore some of the limits they have made until they finally fall and get carried away and make them run out of money unexpectedly. And in my opinion to be able to have a good bankroll management a gambler really must have a true understanding of gambling, try to be a responsible gambler and be firm with the plan that has been set, for example, you plan that if you lose then you will stop and when the situation occurs then you must really be able to be firm and stop according to your plan.

It's imperative that you understand how some gamblers would rather be extravagant, hoping to get a good return than adopt a strategy.
You've listed alot of strategies and, I tend to agree with the fact that you didn't leave out the most vital virtues of being a successful gambler - which is being responsible and disciplined.

Success may only tarry -- maybe because things ain't just going the right way. I also tend to realize that maintaining a good gambling habit as you suggested could help build and your cognitive function and enhance your speculation.

Who wont really be tempted on trying out something which you do know that you could earn or win money? of course all of us would really be having that kind of
mindset when dealing up with gambling on which we do know that there's really that chance or opportunity. The only issue on here is that people do really get lost control
of themselves on the moment that they will really be having that kind of condition on where they are losing consecutively. We do know that each person does have that different level when it comes to patience and self control or discipline i should say. If you are someone whose that not good when it comes to this aspect then this is where you would be making shit decisions on which it could
really affect your negatively if you would continue on doing so.

I think this is not even about been offended but the truth is that many gambling do not even follow things like risk management. They just go to betting shop or a casino and start betting thinking the luck would come and they would make money from gambling. We need to be wise and make sure that we take decisions that would always help us to earn in the gambling space. I can see that manh gamblers want to always make money from gambling but they don't know how to go about it on the particular game they need to bet on to get a good profits. Patience is necessary and using a good strategy that pays.

Yes, there are gamblers who don't apply any management or strategies to their gambling sessions. They just play randomly with their bankroll, sometimes placing small bets followed by huge bets or even using their entire bankrolls in a single bet. These are risky moves which shouldn't be executed at all, because the gambler is actually decreasing the potential winning of his bankroll by playing disorganized, without focus or objectives.

A gambling session which could last an hour or more ends lasting few minutes, as the gambler doesn't know how to manage his bankroll efficiently and smartly. After all, he doesn't make any profit and doesn't have any fun, because the experience was completely ephemeral, short lasting.

Each person is responsible for deciding what to do with their own money, that is undeniable, although advices can be useful for those people in order to show them another possibilities of how they could use their funds in more interesting and rewarding ways.

Only a small percentage of gamblers can implement bankroll management well. Others don't even care about it and instead use quite a large amount of capital to gamble. They made that mistake from the start when they started gambling.

@OP has provided instructions for implementing bankroll management and it is hoped that it can be used by early gamblers who have just joined gambling. To implement this bankroll management, a person must learn discipline because with this discipline, he can maintain his bankroll management and will not be tempted to try to increase his capital for gambling. We know that gambling games can tempt a gambler who uses bankroll management and that makes him even more eager to win.

That's also what made him increase his capital to gamble because he thought he could get bigger wins by increasing his capital to gamble. But it will not always go the way he wants because this is gambling, and we will not always be able to win. We will only experience bigger losses if we cannot use bankroll management properly.

Bankroll management is a good thing but it is difficult to be disciplined in implementing it because every time we are enjoying gambling it makes us forget about it, even other things that become our reference, for example stopping when we have doubled our deposit or stopping when we have been playing for more than two hours.
For small gamblers, maybe they don't care at all about bankroll management because the funds they have are very small, unlike high rollers who have large funds, they will definitely manage their bankroll well, so bankroll management is only a theory for small gamblers, but for highrollers it is mandatory.

Well that's always been the problem which is where most gamblers especially those who just come and get involved always think that they will be able to make money by gambling so that means they are too focused on the chances of winning in gambling which is where the mindset can make them ignore the consequences of risks that can actually never be avoided completely. On the other hand yes I understand that the chances of winning do exist and everyone has a chance of winning in their gambling involvement but an unbalanced mindset in the sense of being too focused on winning is the wrong mindset in gambling because after all we must always consider every decision and try to always take risks that are in accordance with what we can afford, And obviously when a gambler comes with the intention of earning then I am sure that they will really struggle to implement various good decisions or other actions such as applying limits or gambling with the amount they can afford, because the many temptations that look tempting will always encourage them to take various actions that tend to be excessive.

On the other hand, it is true that everyone has a different personality or trait in him, there are some people who are easily provoked which makes them easily emotional when experiencing various things that are not in accordance with their wishes and there are also those who have pretty good patience and obviously if you are a person who does not have good patience that makes it difficult for you to control yourself then yes of course various out of control decisions are the actions they will take.

Bankroll management must be their main priority to control their expenses when gambling so they must not just forget about it. Gamblers must be disciplined in doing this so that their gambling is not excessive, perhaps by preparing funds that are ready to lose and not chasing losses if the money has run out and stopping if they feel the money this has multiplied, you will not be greedy and you will maximize the potential profits achieved if you have managed your bankroll. It is not easy to be disciplined, but if our intention is to keep our gambling healthy, we must force it to be disciplined in managing bankroll management. .

In fact, in my opinion, small gamblers also have to apply their bankroll management, not only for big gamblers where they have bigger finances, small gamblers do have smaller money and are just barely enough. But if they can't manage their bankroll, they will actually lose their money and they will be confused about how to manage their bankroll their living expenses in the future. So bankroll management is very important for any gambler by managing their finances so that they are more controlled.

We still have to learn discipline because that is the basis of everything. Having good discipline will allow us to stay on the right path. We can also always limit our gambling activities because discipline will always remind us.

Discipline allows us to manage our bankroll well. We will not violate the limits we have set, especially if we gamble longer than necessary. We will always be careful when gambling because we know that gambling can tempt us continuously.

Bankroll management is for all gamblers, not just small or big gamblers. They must maintain their bankroll management because gambling can tempt those who gamble. We cannot think about maximizing winnings from gambling, but we must control our gambling activities so that we don't become addicted to gambling.

We need to also avoid punishing ourselves too hard in the case our discipline failed once or twice, we are not perfect and being caught on the heat of the moment and bet a little bit more than what we wanted is a natural part of gambling, however once this happens we need to recognize we made a mistake and correct it, this way we can make use of those mistakes to strengthen our discipline and eventually reach a point in which those kind of mistakes will be completely absent from our gambling.

The main thing that you would really be having in mind or something you should really be avoiding when dealing up with gambling is that never ever make yourself that getting addicted with it. At the moment that you do find yourself that being having that kind of intent or having those goals towards gambling achievement then you are really just that basically putting up yourself on such possible addiction on which we know that this is something that you should really be avoiding at all cost. Desperation would really be ending up on having that addiction and at the moment that you would really be that losing that much then this is something that you would really
needing to stop or would be calling it a day. The most common mistake of a certain individual is on the moment that they do missed out on stopping at the moment that they are experiencing shit condition.

When you do gamble then dont think about maximum profitability or making money because it would really be that everything will be depending on how well you do make that gambling at the same time on how lucky you would really be at the moment that you will really be playing gambling. Everything should really be moderation at the moment that you do make use of your money at the same time having that control
on when to stop neither losing or winning moment or condition.

Greed makes many people forget how to control themselves even when to exit and stop is still very difficult when they have started playing, they should set a bankroll when it runs out then immediately stop when profitable then at least withdraw the initial capital so as not to experience a big loss.

Because indeed when gamblers chase losses it will be difficult to be advised, they prefer their own way without listening to others, fortunately I did not do that if I did it might be more losses and stress because of chasing defeat.

I feel same here mate, most gamblers forget that gambling is risk and based on the uncertainty its smart that we play safe with it, although you can't really be totally safe cause any money you wager is considered gone untill the game is concluded but we must always remember not to give to much to a particular game, there should be a risk reward ratio to what we are doing and we should play safe with gambling.

If our discipline fails, we must not stop trying again. Failure in terms of discipline is normal and everyone experiences it. But by continuing to try seriously, we can master good discipline.

We may still fail again the second time because mastering discipline is not easy. We have to practice it more so we can have good discipline. By always correcting our mistakes, we can take good care of ourselves while gambling.

We don't need to think about maximizing our winning potential because it will never be easy. But if we always try to control excessive gambling habits, we will be able to become wise gamblers. We can also use gambling as entertainment and not be too dependent on gambling to spend our free time.

It is important for a gambler to understand how to manage their bankroll so that their finances can be more measured and directed according to their various needs. Because when gamblers don't understand how to control their bankroll and just gamble as they please, without caring about whether their money is important for tomorrow or not, what will happen is that they gamble with whatever is in their wallet and don't care whether the money is important or not. The methods you mentioned are very appropriate for gamblers to apply and should be like that if they don't want their lives to be ruined because of gambling.

Gambling is not safe and there is always a possibility to lose money but people are not ready to accept the risk involved in gambling as they believe that gambling can make them rich.

Gambling will only be safe if you give little time to it and more time to another job which gives you regular income so in such situations you will not lose so much money because less you gamble less you will lose.

If you find out the fact that your loss percentage is greater and you are not earning money then don't try to recover your money because in the recovery process you will lose more than previous loss because the outcomes of gambling are totally concerned with uncertainty.

Absolutely not, you are seriously mistaken.
To begin with, I would like to know in general on what basis this conclusion was made (what I highlighted in bold)?
And secondly, I would like you to understand the fact: the more bets (the longer the distance) and the more reliable the game, the less likely it is that you will have any profit at all, not to mention maximizing it.
It is naive to believe that you will be stronger than the casino/bookmaker over the long term, taking into account the fact that, according to the initial conditions, it has a serious advantage.

Majority of people that gamble today know nothing about gambling risk management and those who do don't even make use of it and that's because emotion in gambling has a way it overcrowded their judgement and they don't bother to use their conscious mind to judge their self, they just vibe and gamble and if they win they are fine and if they don't, they move to the next one and those that are addicted might be stuck in that loop trying to recover their money.

If I earn $100 a month for instance and I use $1 to play it for instance, I wouldn't be bother about it and there is no way addiction will come because if that is exhausted and I made nothing, I'm never outing another money again but in a situation I used $20 from my income knowing that is way above what I can afford to lose. I will definitely have a sleepless night. The moral lesson, learn to gamble the money you wouldn't even think twice about.

I would even say that failures are part of the game, and if a player does not know how to properly perceive them calmly and without unnecessary fuss, then it will be very difficult for such a player to keep his emotions under control. And from this it follows that he will bet with no control, there will be big wins and losses. This roller coaster will eventually shake the player’s psyche and the only path to the bottom will be open for him. Of course, I don’t want anyone to go through this, but I experienced something similar on myself and it led to a not very good result.

You can increase your winning potential only based on where the money is, this can be a bet with a high odds, or a game against a poker beginner who you still need to be able to identify, and also this is a hunt for the jackpot if it has not been won for a long time. I've probably tried everything on this list except the last one, but I watched how professionals do it.

We will often experience loss when gambling, so we must be able to manage the finances we use for gambling. We also don't need to spend too much money to gamble, especially since we don't know what results we can get. By always maintaining our limits, we can control our gambling habits and not gamble excessively.

We will find it difficult to maximize our winning potential in gambling because we don't know when we can win. What we want from gambling is to enjoy the game and not look to win. When we can't enjoy the gambling game, it means we have to stop gambling and leave the casino immediately.

It's better for us always to avoid losing a lot so we don't experience bigger problems. You may be able to maximize potential profits by increasing the odds, but you have to remember that we won't be able to win easily. There are many ways casinos can make us lose quickly, and it depends on how we treat gambling.

Correct, I know that gamblers have the expectation to profit from their hobby, and while it is possible to beat the casino over the short term, this is impossible to do over the long term, and personally I do not see anything wrong with that, casino owners do not create a casino to give money away to others, they do it because they want to make money, and it is obvious they have set the games in such a way that allows them to have a small edge on every single bet you could make.

I can usually answer by reading your entire text. Actually gambling is a game and there will be wins and losses but watch who is betting in gambling. Who told you to bet on gambling all day! You can gamble for a while if you want but it's definitely free time. Abstain from gambling when you become responsible admirable in job or business. A person who gambles irresponsibly who has no job or business, but to collect gambling money, may have very bad reactions and these reactions can fall on his family.

It's obvious you're one of those that don't like reading a long writings of a post but there are some that are worth giving the time just like this very one which am sure you'll overtly agree.

It's not all works that needs to be in summarization, there are works that need to be in detailed form to richly give out the message as intended by the writer which is why I believe the Op has to spend time in breaking down his piece. And unlike other bulky compiled posts this makes sense to the letter.

I like to add by saying that  having a bankroll for your gambling doesn't mean you have to always exhaust the bankroll before stoping from gambling because that what some gamblers think about bankroll. Bankroll are just there to guide the gambler not to exceed his limit which I am of the opinion that been able to leave even without exhausting your bankroll tells a lot about how effective your gambling management is in terms of loss reduction.

It's very impossible to see a gambler beat the entire casino. Short term yes and that's how we should decide on how to keep our profits if ever it is your lucky day. It won't come too often when you try to get along with the casino with your profit because if you will stay there, the big chance of them recovering your profit is very high. That's not maximizing your potential and you're not able to control yourself from gambling. You have to make decisions that will be at the right time especially when you've won such amounts already. Because as I've said, it won't come to you everyday so when that day comes, you need to keep the profit and don't aim big.

Casino are not happy when their customers are winning, they want you to lose so you can continue gambling with them and they will be making money from your losses. If you win, you might get satisfied with the money you have and will not want to gamble again because you know you can lose the money but when you are losing, all you will be thinking about is how you will win back your money therefore you will continue gambling and this will make you to be losing money and making the casino profits. How to control excessive gambling is to have self control and not get addicted to gambling because when you get addicted then you will be out of control and quitting gambling will become more difficult in spite of you not winning and only losing money when you are gambling.

In the game you will always have to be very careful when making any move, for whatever you do you will have to hope for the best, but for the responsibility to be absolute you have to be very careful, first when betting and second with emocoins, emcoins will always be something that we cannot avoid and in order not to put our integrity or that of our family at risk we have to be responsible people when playing, for me the most important thing in a casino is to be careful with money, otherwise you can do anything to avoid spending all your money.

Good article. I would like to highlight the first point in particular. If a person uses only the money for gambling that he can afford to lose, with which he can part with without problems, then he will not have problems. As soon as a person begins to think that he is one step away from a big win and begins to use big money or take out debt or credit or use money with which to pay bills, then problems arise.
This is the main point for participating in gambling. All you need to remember is that when you play, you can lose. If you can't afford to lose money then don't participate, it's not worth it
Wisdom to all and God bless you!

Of course, overall what casinos want is for gamblers to lose because after all, when gamblers lose then it is clear as you said that casinos will make a profit and if the loss is more frequent then obviously casinos will make a much bigger profit, and therefore this is the reason why any excessive action in gambling can never be justified, because it is the same as you lead yourself to a much worse situation by losing significant amounts of money.

Casinos build gambling as their business which is the name of a business must have the aim of making a profit and the casino hides behind the “chance of winning” to get a lot of profit, in the sense that when many gamblers always want to get a big win, they will certainly do various excessive actions and that's when the casino makes a lot of profit. Therefore this is the reason why we as gamblers should always limit our gambling activities and as much as possible to avoid various excessive actions, because only then will we slightly avoid the possibility of losing significant amounts of money.

Being careful is very important when it comes to gambling, when you are not careful you will lose more than what you have budgeted to wager on bet. It's important to make a plan before gambling (essentially knowing the minimum and maximum amount to gamble with). When you are the real owner of the money you are using to stake on bet you should also know how to manage it in a way that you won't lose all of them just like that. When you lose and your emotions didn't allow the money you lost skil your mind all day, it gradually hunts you and it makes you to chase your loses when next you lose.

Gambling is a game but it involves money which is one we need to scrutinize every decisions that we are taking so that we don't have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. There are so many gamblers that thought gambling is just a game but still losing bets because they don't know their left from right. If we want to keep getting rewards a gambler, there is need to differentiate gambling from normal game. Game is always for fun but when it comes to gambling, it requires money which is one reason people can even kill just to win a big bet without caring about what happens to the next person.

Well, it's not surprising though, because right from the very beginning, when money was introduced and people began to understand the value it carries, making the money have always been a battle of survival of the fittest and strongest, so, when you said that people can kill just to win a big bet, it's totally understandable for fact remains that, the number of persons that have gone down to the grave untimely as a result of gambling disputes or misunderstanding between them and another party can't actually be numbered, but all the same, it's still exactly what it is.

The game of money is the real game, it's the business game, children play games for fun, but adults play games for business and money, so this is why I support that when ever we are gambling, it should always come with a different approach, we can't possibly approach gambling with money the same way we approach playing normal games for fun, else, we are just going to lose all our money in the twinkle of an eye.

I do set my budget every time I gamble. It might not that be much compared to the other gamblers but that works effectively for me as I don't want to happen what happened to me in the past. I was just wild and free doing stuff and even in gambling, I bet as much as I can and didn't set budgets so, I learned it the tough way.

I think that this should just be included in your tip #1 but you just broadened the explanation of it.

When you are confident with what you are about to bet, you can set as high as you can but don't always go and all-in. If you have plans of staying for so long with your budget and you have dedicated it for a week or two or longer, then you have to follow your own set of rules.

This is more of self discipline, you're pointing out still the budget and allocation and at the same time the size of your bets. So, self discipline is going to play an important part on your longevity with the set budget you have and as for your betting decisions, you'll always have the say whether you would do it or not. And you're not just deciding it without anything that comes up with but with analysis if you're into sports betting. But if you're into random games and casino games that you want to test your luck, these approaches can still be followed or whatever is gonna be the best for you, you're up for that and don't neglect tips given to you my dear co-gamblers.

Yes, it is good advice, what I really do is say how much money I am willing to risk/lose, according to that if I lose it then I assume my loss and I do not continue Insisting even though Sometimes I feel like continuing to deposit more because I feel like I am going to win, because I have enough discipline to tell myself no, I think that is one of the things that cost me the most to learn, and that these types of acts are the ones we should do, the most important thing in a casino is money, and that should be the first option for us, money, other things, then emotions mix and Everything changes.

You are right mate,most times one will feel losing gives you experience here,but I can say not in gambling,infact I don't even see any experience in gambling at all,what I see here is careful analysis and teams study.If you are the type that doesn't like analysing games,and you just stake on games based on their form,then you will be losing everyday,reason being that there are some teams the other team cannot beat,despite how good they are,it is here that we say history speaks,maybe it has been a history that that team cannot beat the other team, therefore,you dont just follow their form in that case.Careful analysis will make you get those types of scenerios correct.

Casino wants to see gamblers lose their money and gamblers still playing gambling after their lose. Casino will gives temptation to makes gamblers stay for longer so gamblers will spends more money to playing gambling. We must not playing gambling without control and limitation because we can not wins easily but we will lose much money.

We can not maximize our winning in gambling because gambling is not design to gives win easily to gamblers. We can only control ourselves not to playing gambling excessively so we can avoids the big lose. We must control our gambling habits not to gives big risks to our life because gambling can makes us gets the addiction.

We must not thinks to win more in gambling and accepts what we gets. That can helps us to avoids more losses that can comes to us. After all, we only use gambling as a way to have fun and not for makes money.

The funniest part of this is that we all know very well that gambling games were not made to make people rich, but because we see some small cases of people who were lucky enough to play with little money and managed to win. a lot of money and they became rich so we started thinking that we can also get rich if we are playing, even if a person has been playing for years without winning, that person will think that they need to keep playing so that one day they can get it right and win a lot of money with games. bad luck, this way of thinking is present in most people, and there is nothing wrong with thinking this way if the person is playing with only the amount of money they can afford to lose. unfortunately because there are many people who before starting to play do not do the proper research on gambling and when they play they soon lose everything and become addicted, so nowadays it has become normal to read advice like: "don't look at gambling bad luck as a means of becoming rich or having financial stability"

That's for sports betting. You cannot do that with casino games, especially with slots which most of the time is where excessive gambling is coming. Simply because it's a never-ending game unlike sports where you wait for the time the game will start and it will end, so you will be waiting for the next game to come.
I think that's where gamblers who likes to control their gambling time. Sports betting. They only need to input their game before the game starts and then wait for it to be live so they can enjoy watching it. I think most gamblers who cannot control themselves is those who keep on playing casino games, there's a chance they are addicted to it too.

I can't understand people who think they can easily beat a casino. The fact is that any income requires any person to have certain skills: either critical thinking or analytical skills. And a casino is essentially just a roulette, where even a person who does not understand anything and does not know how can easily play.
I understand that you will write to me about poker or other card games, and I will agree that you need to have a mindset there. But the fact is that such approaches are inherently wrong.
You have to go to the casino to have fun!
Just top up your deposit and play. Waiting for the result from the casino is wrong. And if someone feels tired after playing at the casino, and not a feeling of relaxation, then this person perceives gambling incorrectly.

Well said, Mate.
You made a valid point the only edge a gambler has is control over his gambling habits, methods and how he reacts to it. Aside from this, the gambler cannot control any other factors because the casino would always have the upper hand, and would definitely want the gambler to loss and not win. I believe if gamblers understand this everyone would gamble responsibly and not get addicted or loss much.
Self-discipline, Moderation, risk Management and limits are needed by gamblers, this solves the problem and accepting the fact that uncertainties are inevitable.

I mean apple wants you to spend your money on their phones, amazon wants you to lose all your money on buying stuff from them, hell they would be fine if you refinance your entire house just to be able to afford buying more from them.

Every business is aiming to make money, why is it suddenly immoral when a casino wants the same thing? What do we expect, a casino that runs like a charity? So that you could make money and have a better life? Why don't they just simply give out a million dollars jack pot to everyone once a year? Of course not, be addicted or not, they want to take every bit of money you have, they would rather see you sell your blood and spend it on gambling as a last resort, because they only care about your money, just like any other business in the world.

My only goal in gambling to be honest is to survive I mean to last long with the amount of money I am willing to lose since my purpose is to have fun. If I am losing all my money too early then it could be that I am not satisfied and not having fun or that will be a signal to get money and play again which is now being greedy until we ends up playing with emotions because we are now chasing our loses. Discipline is really important in gambling if we don't have that then that means that we are not yet ready to gamble.

I don't know how effective this could be and how we may achieve it more easier, maximizing winning potential is not proven completely by hundred percent from the gambling strategy we use, and this also have no been proven as one of the ways a gamblers could get addicted because of gambling oftentimes, we have to explain more better between the lines their differences and what each stand to implicate on gamblers.

Yes, when we make operations on plays that are in demo mode, because one plays with a lot of confidence and things are quite noticeable when they see that we have to make a difference, but when it is our money, even if it is little, it hurts. We and we operate with a lot of attention, sometimes we can feel afraid, because we don't want to lose, we want to win, we want to do something well, although I will always have that fear when we don't play responsibly. being there present, and that voice that tells us not to play anymore is enough, that they have already lost enough or on the contrary, that they say that they have already won enough, that happens to me all the time.

Casinos provide a gambling business where they want profits. Of course, casinos don't like it if we win gambling games and get profits from these gambling games, even though in fact the winnings we get are obtained from other people's losses and it's not the casino that pays for them. And it's natural that casinos don't like that because the profits they should get are reduced because someone wins at gambling. Casinos prefer it if none of their players experience a win so they continue to gamble in pursuit of victory and casinos are very profitable here because they will gain even more profits from users who cannot control themselves.

And it is true with what you said that the only way to avoid excessive gambling is to control ourselves, meaning that even if we lose we have to stop and not try to gamble continuously which will make us experience deeper losses and could potentially become addicted to gambling, because people those who find it difficult to control themselves when gambling will end up becoming addicted to gambling one day.

First of all, it's not possible to keep getting rewards or profits from gambling because that's not why gambling and casinos exist, they are not created to provide profits to gamblers but to generate revenue for the house. So don't think that you can keep getting rewards from gambling even if you learn to differentiate between normal games and gambling games.

After that, gambling can also be a fun activity and there are a lot of people who gamble only to have some fun even if they are spending money on it because they always keep a budget for their gambling activities, and even if they lose that money, it doesn't affect them financially because they don't need that money for anything else and that budget is only for their gambling activities.

We as players cannot and should not hesitate, we have to do things right, if we play without considering that we are going to lose money things can get ugly, for me the most important thing in a casino is money, if we risk money and we do it irresponsibly, we will not have good income, in fact we could fall into an addiction that is only worse than what we can suffer, however we do everything possible to prevent this from happening, that is why it is always good to Consider money as the number 1 option, without money there is no party, that is why we must be very careful.

A casino can risk their money on gamblers and how they risk is that they allows a gambler to win. Even if the odds is against you as a gambler if you are lucky you could win and the odds can not stop you unless the gambler is one of the greedy type. Casinos allows us to win because they knows that if we continue winning many people will continue gambling and some will end up being addicted and while a gambler is addicted the casino are busy making their own money to recover all those money that they have lost earlier. The main point is that we shouldn't allow ourselves to become addicted to gamble no matter how much we have lost. However money is the main purpose why many are gambling, if you are not there to have fun it's either you are there to make money or lose money. Correct me if am wrong.

I believe one of the most important aspect of being a responsible gambler and keeping a good gambling habit is being able to manage ones cash flow. The fact is weather we directly or indirectly, gambling requires money,   similarly, it is a part of every gambler's idea to make wains in his bets and gambling activities. Practically, people measure a gambler's level of success based on how much he has gained financially from gambling compared to how much he has also lost financially from gambling the greater his wins over losses, the more successful most persons tend to view them.

Judging from such perspective, it simply means gambling addiction is as a result of improper fund management during gambling activities which relates to the reason why most addicts go bankrupt based on their Inability to properly manage their funds.

Rewards mustn't be funds and Op in his thread pointed out relevant steps to gain the reward of gambling responsibly. Where caught my attention is the part of dividing our bankroll. Looking at this you'll notice that minimizing how we wager or setting aside some funds while gambling would not promote winning big in the game. As this habit will most definitely affect the size of the money to win. But, on the long run the player only will realize how well he's saved money and lives for himself. Going after the monetary reward also affects the player in a negative way, including his family. Isn't it a reward if our friends don't get hurt for our indulgence in gambling? This also promotes gambling for fun something interesting you mentioned above.

Taking into consideration that the biggest problem with addiction is money, well yes, because I have rarely seen a rich person have problems for spending money, and that is something that we cannot generalize but I think that out of 100% , I think that more than 50% is Due to problems with their money , that is what I think can happen, however, we are people who have always analyzed everything only from points of view, and of course there are people who are addicted and cannot stop playing and not so much because of the money they lose but Because they want to be stuck there Gambling.

You have said it all rightly, but I am afraid, most gamblers know this quite well but they will still fall into the abyss of gambling issues regardless. This could only be caused by the fact that they've not tackled the issue psychologically, and no matter what you preach to them about using the right strategy, budget,  management etc, it will not yield. Also, I believe that the issue of gamblers is not all about the mind's fixation on the money to be made like many think but also a dragging force to gamble itself. These are two different things which many may not even know because I don't hear or read about them.

This is why you would see some rich people who are even doing well in business and investment (I said that so that you know they are not living in the past glory) but still gambling when they've lost consecutively which should have taught them a lesson that gambling is not what they thought it was. The same psychological issue is what drags people to collect loans. Some people are addicted to it, and something will push them to collect the loan. For this, in the situation where they should have survived without the loan with a little effort, they will still reach out for it, to the point that even if they have money, they would want to collect a loan. Mind you, this is not a loan for gambling but just explaining how psychological things work on a normal loan collection.

Do you think this is not happening? I've witnessed it my friend, so the issue of gambling is similar to that and the earlier gamblers know this, the better to help them heal or avert it from the beginning.

I've seen different strategies but most of them are failures unless you have the deep pocket. And even the rich will have some trouble winning against the house because it is written that way in their system.

I think the better chance of making profits is in games where we use our brains and not through slots and casino games which are system-based.
Poker and sports betting. Those games are profitable for those who are good at reading people, analyzing the game, and even counting cards.
In sports betting, it's all about research and those who truly love the sport they prefer. You can easily predict what may happen if you are following your favorite sport because you will have a good idea of the results.

Well said, Mate. In Gambling the most important factor needed by Gamblers is "Money". The ability the manage our money system properly whereby we gamble during winnings and losses too without bankruptcy, still gambling responsibly is what every gambler should implement.

Management of our cashflow system helps us to be at a balanced state because we risk what we can afford to loss, same time are already before hand aware that we can possibly loss such amount of money. If gamblers take this into consideration I believe many would not panic, chase losses, emotional imbalances or get bankrupt.

No gambling strategy can be 100 percent perfect. So, to maximize winning is somehow difficult. The best way to maximize our winning potential in my opinion is by minimizing our risk which will make us have less loss. Once we have less loss, we have more wins than our losses here by giving us more opportunities to win knowing fully well that the risk is limited due to the pattern we are using to gamble.

Gambling habits opens us to take high risk which is why stopping every bad gambling habit is also a good way to maximize winnings since it also reduced the amount of risk we take. Imaging addictions that make people not to know when to quit when gambling. How will they be able to have high wins when they can't control themselves whenever they are losing so much and quit.

A very important factor without a doubt, and another one is simply the beliefs of the gambler about their hobby, if a gambler actually understands that it is not possible for them to make money long term, they will adapt to it and concentrate on not losing too much money, but if they believe the opposite then what it will happen is that once they suffer a huge loss, they will assume they could recover it if they kept gambling, something that we know is not true.

You are absolutely right, but when it comes to the House Edge it is a fact that the Casino has Everything to be a winner at any time, but what you say is very true, casinos always give a window of advantage to get players excited, they do this because if they do not allow some cases to win, then players will not play Anymore, because nobody likes to give away their money , less in a Casino , if there is no Chance of them winning it will be difficult for them to Stay in the Industry , so if there is a lot of Logic in What you say , it is very likely that all this will Happen, However this does not take Away the fact of Playing with Extreme Caution , because it is always About money.

That would make a very diligent gambler no doubt. Most gamblers are not like that. They think they are losing but the loss is within a certain limit and they are rigid on the belief that they will win it back.

If they look back and see the spending they will quickly realize the mistake they are making. However some choose not to accept the reality and continue playing.

In this manner they maximize their losses over winnings. The opposite is not possible unless you are the owner of a casino.

OP is right about bankroll management, dividing it properly is necessary for it to last. It's about exercising control over your emotions and sticking to your game plan simultaneously. I've read many strategies to win, but I believe bankroll management is the most important. Sometimes, we are unlucky and experience a cold streak, so having a bankroll that can withstand that helps us avoid frustration and continue our gambling activities.

Yes, people say we lose in the long run—probably the majority of us—but by choosing the right game where we can use and develop our skills, I think we can flip that. Some people claim to be successful in gambling because they are smart and know how to win. Lastly, never gamble on a game that has a house edge, as we will obviously lose in the long run.

well that is a lot of strategy, but personally about How to maximize winning potential and control excessive gambling habits is just by controlling emotions managing to budget and can't bet higher than budget and then just play with the game you think you are pro with it.

But add more strategy from you is also a good idea I believe, keep it up frenn

This could be effective if you remember & follow these rules daily! And I don't think it's something easy to do, and I guess to be able to follow it we would need to have a spreadsheet. I think that these rules are written for sports betting lovers, they can be applied to some other gambling games too, but not for all. If my game of choice is some slot and I have $50 I can't split that amount and play with $5-$10, it would be silly to do it. And definitely I can't do anything to maximize my winning potential except to turn on "x2 or more" chances for the bonus round, but that costs extra.
But you can do that in sports betting and poker... follow some sports more closely, read the news, and carefully choose games you plan to place a bet. Or in poker, you can watch tutorials, watch how other people play, and practice a lot.

It's never been easy and all of us or gamblers did really experience out such condition on which you would really be struggling specially if emotions are in control because if you do find yourself having that aims on making money with gambling then you would definitely likely having those kind of bad decisions and this is something that you should watch out.On the moment that you do deal up with gambling then expect loses would really be there on which it would be just that normal and this is something that needs for yourself to be aware
On what are the actions that would be needing to do or done.

Don't chase up on being a winner and also specially chasing up loses and this is why it would really be that important that you should really stick into your early plans and limits which you had set out earlier.

Gamblers in Early stage, lost a lot because they don't set any rules to follow but keep staking randomly with excitement. That's why it is important to follow some rules and discipline which will help money management and control gambling habits. Furthermore will help you, not to become addicted in gambling. Your 1st and 3rd point can be marge together, like set a Gambling Budget from 5-10% of your monthly salary or income from others sources. 2nd point is good enough, better to divide funds so that you can enjoy more games and you can manage when you need more money to inject. 4th point should be given more priorities. Gamblers must monitor and focus on their winning and losing graph. It helps them to understand what's going on in their gambling life and they they could change their strategy if need and change their gambling habits.

If they still not realizes what happens to them, they will still lost a lot of money and there is a chance they will lose everything they have. Gambling can change them from having money into lost everything and don't have anything in their life. They will difficult to maximize winning potential but they can control themselves not to playing gambling excessive and prevents the big lose.

We can only allocating our funds to playing gambling and not use too big money and never thinks about maximize winning potential. That can only makes you becomes addicted to gambling especially if you don't have a good control in gambling. You will see that your funds will be gone shortly without you can wins many times because gambling is not for making money.

4. Play safe:

It would really be composed of these things

•Bankroll management
•Self limits in terms of loses and so as when winning
•Never make yourself that being impulsive
•Dont make yourself that delusional or simply having that realistic approach
•Withdraw once you do have that profit

You wont really be able to find gambling to be problematic if you are someone whose really that responsible towards your actions.
People do really messed up their lives just because of being that irresponsible towards their decisions. They do think that they could really be
able to milk out gambling and make themselves rich in no time.

Never ever put up into your mind with that kind of positivity because once you do have this kind of thinking then it would really be
just that making you that desperate and impulsive on which its a no-go here in gambling or betting space. This is why you should
really be that mindful and careful on every actions and decisions that you would really be taking.

W should always gamble responsibly and have it in mind that gambling is not by force or a must to win event, we are to do it willingly as according to how we can afford on it, learn about gambling, some of its interesting strategies in other to win, also, concerning the our gambling habit in which is expected of us to use so as to achieve a having the best gambling experience for ourself, we must have to always keep to learning each time an opportunity show for that.

We should always gamble responsibly, which is something all of us want to do, but most people find it hard to adhere to the rules of responsible gambling. The reason is that they have the wrong motive in mind before they come into gambling, and with the mindset that I know everything and don't want to take simple corrections from others, a lot of gamblers have made big mistakes that have resulted in big losses without them even realising it.

Being a gambler who has good responsibility for all the decisions and actions they make is a skill that is always recommended and this does not only apply to gambling, but also to everything we do in life.

On the other hand, you said a pretty good reason why there are some gamblers who always find it difficult to apply responsibility for all the decisions and actions they have made, where the problem lies in their minds which from the start were wrong in responding to what and how gambling really is, feeling that they are great usually it will appear in their minds when at the beginning of their involvement they managed to win, they think that they have managed to get the key or have managed to crack the code, and clearly this mindset can trigger crazier actions.

In the end I think nothing else will tell about their mistakes other than the significant regret they feel, although one regret does not always make a change, but I am sure that when everything gets much worse over time then they will also realize their real mistakes. Experience is always the best teacher.

The problem always arises from the fact that most people don't like to lose, even if it wasn't a game that didn't involve money, people wouldn't accept losing. And when it involves money the situation gets worse. For example, someone takes $10 and gambles in a casino, then that person loses all $10. That person will start to think about what he would have done if he had taken the $10 and not used it to gamble. He starts to think that he could have spent the $10 at the beach or gone drinking with friends or gone to an amusement park. The more he thinks about losing the $10, the more he starts to develop a feeling of revenge.

He starts to think about gambling again so he can recover all the money he lost. He will get money to gamble again. It turns out that when he gambles again, he will lose everything and become frustrated. But since he has a feeling of revenge, he will continue to gamble because he thinks he can recover all the money he lost in the casino or betting shop. Unfortunately, the end for these people is not good. They become addicted, steal money and end up in jail or dead. There are few cases in which people put gambling aside and live their lives. That's why it's so important to just play for fun.

No matter the type of financial system you implement to control your gambling habits always take note of one thing, never use more than 10 percent of your income no matter how tempting it is, if you end up losing that 10 percent do not gambe again that month and wait till the next month before gambling again,..this is one of the best way to ensure that you stay within your limit and in control of your finances, sometimes I wish I have been following this system, I wouldn't have had so much losses this year, but life is all about learning.. it's better late than never...The last part you made about playing safe is also very crucial, make sure your risks are always calculated, this doesn't guarantee Profit though but it will definitely minimize your losses

Gambling is just gambling, don't think too much about it. Winning and losing is normal, but if you always lose and never win then stop. Gambling was created as a way to have fun, but anyone who wants to try it must be prepared to lose their budget. Gambling was clearly not created for people who rely solely on luck, but many people gamble in casinos because they want to try their luck.

The wrong mindset towards gambling will cause gamblers to fall into various problems. Of course there is a way out, but they must really realize that they should not gamble if the goal is only to win and never be ready to lose. Just like non-gambling games, it will be addictive, but there are definitely ways to minimize its impact and one of them is setting some limits.

It should be kept in the "Fun" domain and things will work out nicely.

Its just like having a budget on how much alcohol or sweet/eating out you can have every month and then sticking to that. By doing this budgeting or in gambling terms, "bankroll management" you can reduce your spending on gambling but while having fun and in the long term realize how much you could have saved if you did not gamble, hence giving you the willpower to keep on reducing your gambling habits.

If someone does this, they will feel they are back in control of their addictions and that will motivate them.

You nailed it TheUltraElite. It can be a good advice to set a max percentage of your weekly/monthly income and not allocate more than that to betting, alcohol and other leisures. But it should be revised from time to time, because if you only think "I allocate a 5% to drink", for example, the you may drink until you spend that money, even without pleasure, which makes little sense but that's how many of us think.

So it is good to be aware of the fun, not simply automating the habit, and stop even if you didn't spend what you can afford, if you got satisfied with less.

One thing that you overlook and people fundamentally get wrong from the very beginning is: you must know if you can even win long term in the game, because otherwise you are only managing a steady decline. You could call it bankroll management if you are limiting how much you spend each day, but it's used most often in the context of poker that has variance involved. The only variance going on for the majority of other casino games is how fast you lose your money, as the house has engineered the odds in their favor.

A very good context you used there, but you possibly forgot to mention the possibility of also winning and making profit on the money spent for the gambling, unlike the money spent on alcohol/drinks and or eating out which does not give the spender the chance of getting the money back or making any profit off it, the only profit therein is the pleasure the person gets from the alcohol drink or the meal he or she eats.

But then overall, all you have to said true, it's a simplified way to explaining how simple and easy gambling can really be if only we can treat it the right way it should, cus in the end, those who are gambling for fun mostly end up as the true winners.

Being a first time gambler actually comes with lots of excitement because I also experienced it. When you start gambling newly,you'll be overwhelmed with excitement to win without thinking of risk management but at times goes and when reality begins to set in, you'll have a rethink and design a plan for yourself else you'll end up losing more than you can imagine and probably end up getting addicted.


The issue of setting a budget from your timely salary or other incomes depends on what you earn and how often you play gambling. Making it a habit of allocating certain percentage on a regular basis speaks volumes of addiction. I will have to agree with your last point because having knowledge and able to compare the margins between your wins and loses give you insight and probably change your pattern of gambling.

Yep, that is a good advice not to use more than 10 percent so your losses will not be too big. Maybe he can separate 10 percent for a month so he can use that amount to play gambling for many times in a month. But that needs a good control to prevent the temptation from gambling.

If that 10 percent will be used for one time in a month, that will makes you curious with your losses. That can makes you return to casino and use the other money to gamble. That is why you must have a good control to avoids the will of playing gambling.

Playing gambling must be careful to avoid the losses. When you get the win, you don't have to think about maximizing your winning by continue gambling. That may give you more losses because there is no guarantee you can win in the next games.

Well, The Another important info for those betting is to know the possibility of coming out the winner when bet is placed is of essence. Otherwise, it’s just throwing money away all the time, which gets rather annoying very quickly. That’s where money management comes into the picture since knowing how much one can spend each day can prevent one from spending a lot of money and losing all at once. This is something I have come across while playing poker and actually it applies to any game of chance.

In most of the other casino games, variance is more of how soon you can be out of your cash as the house always has an edge that is already coded in the probabilities. That is why: it is necessary to know the rules and coefficients of each type of a game, and set the limits for yourself. Thus, there is no question that you can enjoy the game with or without it affecting your financial might without being too big.

Like in life, poker is about coming up ready rather than only about showing up. Knowing the chances is not only wise but also absolutely vital. Knowing how to handle your money is not just smart; it also makes all the difference between a great night and a financial catastrophe. Listen; casinos are not charitable entities. Thats OK; they are meant to be profitable. The home edge is system-built; it is not a secret. That does not mean, nevertheless, that you cannot prevail. It just indicates that you have to be wiser than the typical gamer.

And what then is the secret? Create boundaries. Before you ever sit down at the table, find out how much you are ready to lose. And stay to it. That is discipline, people; that is what distinguishes the victors from the losers. Then know the chances. Discover both inside and outside game rules. Calculate it mathematically. Your decisions will be better the more you know. And you are more likely to succeed the better your decisions are.

I agree with what you posted: OP, bankroll/capital management is crucial, and of course, it is the "responsible gaming" part of gambling. It's important to master it. Mastering it will help you get and stay in control, make informed decisions, and always have a good relationship with gambling. It is making sure that you are not addicted to it. 

Cant wait for people to stop thinking about how to win maximum with minimum loss and make it quick and easy as possible. For me what OP wants to do is similar to trying to get dry from the water. If with some part of his wish it is possible to do something, with self-control try to decrease time dedicated to gambling, then that part that is about «maximum and minimum» in gambling should be forgotten, as it is impossible. That just dont work with gambling. Luck cant be regulated.

             -     Setting a budget for me is the most important thing that all gamblers should learn. Because when gamblers get used to this, whether they are rich or not, they will certainly be able to apply what is called self-control and self-discipline.

Of course, that's how you appear to be a responsible gambler at any casinos you enter or deposit their money into. This has been said many times by other communities, but most gambling communities ignore it.

limiting the budget we allocate for gambling is good. doing so requires gambler discipline, besides limiting betting or playing time can also be done to train gamblers' self-control.

bad habits of gamblers are being too happy with the game or too comfortable playing. sometimes it makes gamblers forget the situations that should actually be avoided. being responsible for gambling is not as simple as we think. even though we know, we also often violate the limits we set ourselves.

It boils down to a person we are referring to, but, you are right ;D
It's each responsibility to follow what is good for a person to follow.
If you don't - it's your loss, and you can't blame anyone except yourself.
