Have you been able to resist the addiction and not let gambling consume you?

Have you been able to control the urge to place that bet, spin that wheel or roll
that dice? For you to be able to go a length of time away from the adrenaline.

Would be interested to hear how people can control this.

It’s pretty simple for me, I only gamble a couple of times a week & obviously with money I can afford to lose.
I understand it’s difficult for people with addictive personalities but the key really is to set a budget for what you can afford to gamble with a week.

I have never had an issue with self control or resisting the urge to gamble, Even though I do gamble a lot across various sport bet or casinos, I have always been in charge of my emotions, I could say no and that'd be no, even when I'm losing.

Before it was hard for me but as long as you're getting dry with your life and you notice the negative effects and changes that happens to your life because of it, I was able to resist it.

Through long experiences and after suffering a bad situation caused by gambling, had a lot of loan and can't afford to pay it by myself, now I am starting to force myself not to bet beyond my limit. It is hard to do so at the beginning, but with the help of a bunch stories that people share, finally, gradually, I can do it. I will never bet with the money in needs. I use only small part of my spare money and will keep doing it as long as I can.

Yes you are absolutely right making the limitation will definitely reduce the losses that happened in gambling so this will be simple while you are controlling yourself when you are gamble otherwise nothing will in our hands.

Yeah I have done it many times already. What we must do in order for us not to be addicted is to not to gamble every day. Lets just gamble either twice or thrice a week only so that we will not be addicted into gambling. Gambling addiction will not give benefits to you. We must limit our hours into gambling so that we will limit our losses too.

I see gambling as a fun side hobby and I don't let it consume my life.  I treat it as any other entertainment expense like  movies, video games, cars.  The only thing I was truly addicted to before was an online video game that I won't name.  I always had to play everyday or I would get very upset, thankfully that only went on for a short period of time.

If only gamblers will look gambling like this then there will be no more problem. In fact it could be an advantage to your side because you enjoy doing gambling.activity which is.the main purpose why gambling was being created. The winning bets place on or stake is.just to get more excitement in playing the games. Have anyone tried playing games without staking something? It was boring.

Its clear from the posts so far that the key is not to take it so seriously,
to be aware of how gambling can become out of control and to be
mindful always of how it can spiral to huge losses.

Does it mean playing your money that out of your mind? whether you've lost a lot of them?
Those greedy people who will not able to control the urge to place that bet and gambling, they wanted to chase a lot of money.
Good thing if you noticed that you almost turn to addiction you must control your self, having self-limitation is a good idea and self-control as well to discipline your self.

We should let yourself control over gambling because you're human that capable to control yourself not a robot or zombie,right ?
People must aware , before try to gamble , they already aware the risk of gambling so when they experience loss , it's already part of the risk and we should not blame yourself or even suicide

Yes, and always because i've used money earned from faucets or dice giveaways. Never invested any kind of personal money in online gambling.

Yes, i have been able to control my emotions when it come to gambling without loosing my hard earned money. Resistance is a major key to gambling, this element or atom keep a gambler for safer gambling. I learned to resist temptation of greediness when i enter into the circle of gambler or in the art of gambling. I control my emotions to minimize my looses.

Yes I have. I usually resist gambling by just gaming mostly. I just sit on video games now instead of gambling and when I do gamble it's with money I earn from faucets and etc.
I remember back in the days I used to bet like crazy, but that slowed down in the future once I learned how to control myself, and well when I hit rock bottom and had no more money to gamble with anyways.

I've been gambling for nearly as long as I've been in cryptocurrency (starting in late 2014 IIRC), and I've never considered myself to be addicted to gambling in any way, though in one or two instances when I first started gambling I did spend more than I could afford to lose. Gambling's definitely not for everybody, but if you've got good self-control and good mental willpower to gamble, you can always try it out. Becoming addicted to anything at all's much easier than you might think, though, so keep this in mind.

If I've understood correct, you've been lucky enough to stop yourself before things could get very wrong (zero balance or event debt). I just hope that you won't fall in that situation anymore, because once you're there, it's very easy to tell yourself "I want to recover the loss with further gambling"

I never had a problem with that. When I start losing I just call it a day. Sometimes you just aren't lucky or the odds are against you and it's important to be able to step away. Those who pursue wins at all cost always lose. It's the same when I win. I'm able to say enough and take small profit.

Your attitude is always the second most important thing in gambling with skill and knowledge being the most important.

Of course, and you can feel it already because of the feeling of having an urge to play more because you are enjoying. But what is wrong is that if you don't ever realize how much money you just lose because you let your emotion drives you. But if you have strong control over your emotion, that urge would be easy to stop without a sweat.

I can resist myslef from gambling because I am not much addicted to it,but people have different kind of desired thing to do which they were addicted maybe it becomes their life changing habits in positive or negative way.But when it comes to betting yes I can bet small amount and can stop whenever I want to do.

The answer is within my wife. When her face are all mixed up that's the time I should end my games, whatever it is. Though I'm not really fond of playing but when I win, I slightly being consumed by my addiction and still thanks to my wife :)

I really can't help putting myself on the edge. I just love her so much so I can't afford having her being angry for what I'm doing. So it's better to leave it be. (Most of the times I ended up not finishing the games and just leave the money back at the game) Silly me, I'm just a good follower :)

Sometimes I could resist, sometimes I can't.
But now I am more stronger as I learn from my mistakes, I'm matured now and I can control myself
as know gambling addiction will only bring harm into my future, there are a lot good things to focus than gambling.

I am never addicted to gambling. I can control my emotion. Although I do not play/gamble more often, if I play, I can resist myself from losing a big amount or whenever I make some cash I can quit easily. If I lose at a row, I have my own strategy to quit. Sometimes, I set some budget like as, If I win x amount of dollar, I will not play or if I lose x amount of dollar I will quit.

Every person has their own percentage of addiction in gambling, for those who are really addicted in gambling, it is really hard for them to control their emotion with this kind of game that is also easy to play and a very addicted and very entertaining game. Now, if a person is really addicted then it is just up to them if they still wanted to choose to use all their money in gambling in just a day. For me, I am not really addicted to gambling, I know how to handle my emotions when it comes to gambling like this. It really depends on how greedy we are when it comes in jackpot prizes.

Yes I can resist myself being addicted to the play by niw and hopefully I can control my willingness to bet within my limits in the future too.If you really love to get adrenaline the play low bets and get the feeling of excitement for too long.

At first its hard to control yourself but the moment you play enough time in gambling, you will slowly realize that you need to resist sometimes so you can have the profit that you can bring home. I can say that I succeed on this level because until now, I’m not addict in gambling and I knos how to control myself.

yes i resist playing for i while because im not really into gambling  , instead i only play gambling when i have some spare sats on my wallet  but if not then i refrain  . before i collect from faucets and use it as bets but i realize that i cant reach the minimum thereshold so i stop doing it   because its only a total time waster  .

Basically if you aren't able to resist and know when to quit, it means you are an addict and its becoming a problem and you should seek help.

Its no different than other addictions like alcoholism and drug use. The issue is most people don't realise they have a problem in the first place, so they don't seek help, and its a domino effect that spirals out of control.

Most people that gamble at casinos however they do it for fun. They also go to a physical casino like in Las Vegas and they go for the food and entertainment also. They might gamble from time to time but deep in their mind they know that the house always wins and that they will most likely lose some money, they accept that and its not a problem. It is a problem however for the people that can't accept losing. They get emotional and keep borrowing more and more money and get into huge debt.

Yes, I can be able to control myself, I can stop gambling and leave the gambling place without any difficulty. So far, I think I am not addicted to gambling although I still playing gambling game for at least once a week. Besides that, when I gamble, I only use small dogecoin and make a small bet too so no matter the result, I can stop and leave away from the place. It's difficult for the first time, but as long as we have a strong mind not to become addicting, we can prevent the risk of addiction itself.

It is very difficult to break gambling addiction and that is why I tried not to be addicted to it.  However,  like so many people have been saying in this particular sections I think we should trying to disconnect our emotions from the bet,  roll and dices.

The rush is addicting for sure. You can feel the palpitations when the high multipliers are hit and you feel your fingers go numb and ears blocked. Setting up a stop limit is a good thing to keep a control on these. You would not want to "overdo" is because thats what leads to addiction. Once you get a medium to large sized win you should stop.

Keeping a log record of what you win what you lose will also be good. It does not need to be discrete but a daily profit or loss amount should give you an idea whether you are wasting time and money or making it.

If people bet for fun and to entertain them self then addiction rate would be much on lower side as they would be out of money in such circumstances. But the way people gamble just for money, and money leads to greed which is not really control for many people it finally transforms into addiction and thus people are not able to resist this.

I have done to try almost all of gambling games from dice to roulette and luckly i was never being an addicted and probably why i still control myself during gambling because i never pushing myself while gamble and never consider gambling to earn money and everytime i gamble if i feel enough then i will stopped it immediatelly without continue or feel curious because for me being an curious while gambling can lead me to greedy with eventually addicted

The most hard to fight urge is after you lost. It will last a day or two in your mind and your body that must be able to recover what you have lost and win back at the same time. I don't know if it's just my ego or it's really the natural effect of losing in a gamble most importantly when you do it online.

Gamblers supposed to be able to control themselves, and they should be able to stop gambling whenever they want, if the gamblers already feel they spend too much time then they should stop and find other activity, its very important to avoid to become addicted, there are numerous ways to stop gambler to become addicted, like finding other hobbies and don't give too much free time to the gambler, and the gambler himself need to have determination to be able to control himself

In these difficult times I have found that keeping a small bankroll , usually I keep 20 Eur in bet365 and play 0.5 Eur bets to keep my urge to bet when I need to, but keep it controlled and by doing so I don't let addiction make me lose money. I have found this to be the best method to control addiction so far without having to gambling in a definitive way.

I honestly not a gambling addict so the way i resist is to not being an addict in the first place. Once youve thrown away yourself on the pit , getting out is almost impossible. Its easy to say but once and addict is invited, he will never resist it. Always have a control in you now before it left you.

Well that's a very good point. Prevention is always better than cure as they say. Though some people can say no simply because they have that much control over themselves and their emotions. I think i can resist if faced with that circumstance.

Got an addiction will not be get rid to our mind and health at any transaction period the only way we can do is limitation our process of gambling and doing gambling also but gambling is a healthy think still we are using it with the limit if it goes to more than the limit then it will be definitely addiction and it make lots of losses also.

Different methods exists. You could limit the amount of time you gamble, for example.

Another one that could be good and even better is saying how much money you are willing to spend today and if you get to the set amount you could stop it since you already had your fun.

I once met a millionaire girl who got addicted to gambling but she could get out of it and she was ok the last time i spoke to her.

I won't tell the past of my gambling story, right now yes I'm now able to resist and I still gamble but I never let gambling consume me. I know myself best and what I can do if I losses my control.

It's okay to play and bet with the amount that you afford to lose but don't just go behind the line or cross the fence of your limitation. That's the start of letting gambling consume you, it's okay to have fun and earn a bit with gambling but just know yourself better and have a limitation.

I choose to limit the amount to resist because, in that way, I can spend more time to play gambling or stay in the gambling site while I can watch the game. I am very impressed with that girl because he can get out from gambling and it's not easy especially if you have much money and in this case, she is a millionaire girl. Yes, you need to talk with her and ask her how she can do that so perhaps, we can know more about her.

i tell you what .  i already tried the methods that you laid above  . first is limiting the time that i will spend  . i said to myself that i will now limit my time because i have other things to do and they are more important but during the session it seems that my plan didnt work because im still get hook and cant control myself .

other is having enough money to spend as bets . i  did also try this but after i loose i cant easily accept my defeat . i then borrow again some cryptos on my wallet to revenge .

oh well , the only one that can  stop me gambling is when im totally busted and if theres no electicity or internet available to connect to online gambling sites   .

its hard to control the addiction but time heals as they say  .

Yup! For me it was only a simple task do because I'm not the addicted type of gambler and besides I'm only playing occasionally due to busy sched making me less hooked in playing games. Being miserly helps me somehow also — I'm a kind of person that prefers saving than spending. That attitude leads me to develop my self control every time I place a bet.

Things really harder when you are already been occupied by the lust of playing the games, those dice roll who's always appearing inside your mind tempting you to play back, your imagination makes you believe that trying your luck that day will bring good returns, it's so funny but reality wise
it's harder to do things when you are already inside of it.

Somebody who has self control like you can easily control their emotions and greed of making money from gambling. This is a good trait as anything in life you can take charge of it in a positive way and will always take rationale decisions. Everyone should try to have the self control so that they does not get carried away by anything.

Yes of course I can resist addiction, regardless of what gambling I do but I have learned from experience. Honestly, I gamble only to make a profit and I don't gamble with money I can't lose. In the past, I kept thinking about how to take back the loss until I couldn't control it well, but for now I'm much calmer and I can resist to be addicted even though I'm in a losing position. I just believe, luck will be mine one day. ;)

Yes, but it's really very difficult though.


As I have said, it's hard to control my gambling habits, but I don't know, maybe I just try to get myself busy and not to think of going online or even on a traditional casinos.


Just started to go to the gym again and release everything. hahaha, then go home, go to work. Not thinking of gambling as I used to during the height of my addiction.

For me, crypto trading has totally replaced gambling. I get the same adrenaline rush, but I win more than 90% of the time.

Yes i like the attitude.
I think you have strong will power to be able to still partake in gambling
and at the same time to be able to say enough is enough and walk away
to re-enter at a later time rather than chasing losses or trying to ride a lucky spell.
That takes a lot of effort.

I guess your point is that all hobbies are healthy including gambling but all in moderation. Gambling once in a while for fun is good , with this you can avoid getting addict and you can still resist with the temptation of betting again. Strong will power and self control is the key.

Yeah truly  correct set money ready to afford to lose, however we all should knows in any kind of games harder to quite because they want to grow again and they want to get a victory in that time.
But if feel not a day lucky need to accept to stop playing to avoid huge  of loses and specially to avoid become addictive. Selfcontrol is the most important thing to do that's is my secret strategy in gambling.

You know, with out this self control, you can still stop your gambling addiction. Will, it is the only thing you should trust. I am also addicted to gambling in the past and I know that it is really hard to get through addiction. In fact it took me years to get through that and of course, it is possible with the help of my loved ones. It is hard at first but when you can already see the reason why you are stopping, it is getting easier and easier. Don't get me wrong though, I am still gambling, that is just a proof that it is so hard to stop but I can keep myself from losing a lot unlike in the past. I gamble but now, I can control myself.

When I start I cannot stop and a lot of times I get more if my funds in a gambling site got broke.
But when I dont do it then I wont even have the urge to go for it.
It takes weeks before I will try to start again. I could say I could control it now than before.
The feeling of regret with my lost coins are the reason to why I stop. I am a deep hodler of bitcoin and whenever the value of it increases, I think of the coins that I gambled.

although i believed in myself that i am so addicted with gambling, somehow theres this inside of me that preventing me from betting a lot of money from a lot of games in a casino site. Its very addicting and once this addiction consume you, you will get lost and also lose in a process.

I'm not saying that I'm aint addicted to gambling but there are really times that you will feel the urge on being greedy.The important thing on someones mind when we do
gamble is that always set a limit on all of your funds.If you lose it all then never chase it back because this would either result into deeper problem if you are unlucky.
Resisting do matter on your level of self discipline.

Not totally because people will never be getting tired of patronizing easy and fast ways of making money despite the possible consequences. There will always people who prefer that. I know that trading is also a form of gamble somehow and can be an alternative to it but the problem is that the fun isn't there unlike when you are playing games so you can't fully enjoy it. Nonetheless, trading is more strategic thus you can lessen your mistakes.

Trading is better than gambling in terms of our chance to be profitable because there is no house edge in trading.
Gambling on the other hand is also good but it should only be for entertainment purpose only, you can never get rich in gambling when most of the time you loss money, your only chance is when you are extremely lucky.

Resisting becomes possible by practicing from the early days while we started gambling but unfortunately most of the people don't care about the limits just keep doing and will get trapped at the end.Being self disciplined while gambling will make lot of advantages to us like getting out at the early time and start to walk away while starts to lose bets.

It will be too hard from beginning, but you loss and you don't have enough fund then it will be easy ( just joke). Personally for me, I am not addicted and there is no question for  resist. Whoever addicted on gambling it will hard for him but not impossible. It's possible but need good intentions. If someone want resist addiction then he should busy by something else. Ofcourse you need strong commitment by yourself. You have to force by yourself to leave addiction. No one can help you expect motivation.

You have already mentioned that there are people with addictive personalities so we cant simply say this to them,though its more enough to advice them not to try gambling to keep the privacy of their lives in gambling exploration

Only few people becomes a gambling addict but its more alarming than people whos into other vices that dont really demands lots of money like gambling addicted

As far as I have experienced and learned from this community, we cannot resist against gambling addiction but we may protect ourselves by preventing it. One simple and effective way of safeguarding ourselves must be, not gambling for long hours and being to gambling more frequently. Only when we are able to resist ourselves against gambling by not frequenting to it, we may get chances to stay without getting addicted.

When you gamble not regularly and not giving big importance to it, you may control yourself against gambling and when you are within your control then addiction will not gain power against you. It means if we lose ourselves into gambling then gambling addiction will take control of our mind and consciousness which means it will induce us to keep on gambling all the times regardless of how much we are losing nor what are our basic responsibilities.

Most gamblers are not noticing these dangers of gambling but coming aware of these by their own experiences. Gambling addiction is preventable if you are well aware of its dangers.

I think those people who are considered addicts in gambling might be addicted in some other vices too like cigarretes smoking or being a drunkard.Because i believe if you have a proper way of thinking,you might not let yourself be addicted to such vices because you know in the end you will only ruin yourself.I know if you are determined not to be one of them,then you should avoid it in the first place.Have self-discipline and learn not to be greedy of course.

Used to gamble, not much, but you know, a bit of small stake roulette, some slot poker, etc.

Then I discovered real poker (texas holdem to be exact) in 2007., really delved into it, started reading books (after I lost first 50$ :D ) which allowed me to fully understand that casino gambling makes no sense if you wan't to earn money (gambling for fun is something different).
Made some money off of it, but nothing major as I always used the money to play on and get better.

That part was a turning point and I understand, more than before, that you CAN'T win in long term in casino games.

Basically, when you understand that something is bad for you and in what way, you can't get addicted to it.

(i.e. 20 years smoking weed, mixing with tobacco (poor european, what can I say :D ), but I NEVER smoked cigarettes. It's actually gross to me. And I had (and still have) short or long periods of not consuming anything. It's all in your head. I don't like to be addicted to ANYTHING. So I'm not.)

Yes, I personally have no problem taking a break from gambling any time I want.
A couple of months ago I posted a thread here about how I was going to take a break from gambling.

I had spent a little bit more than I wanted and decided to stop gambling for a couple of months.
Worked out great, I think I quit for around 3 - 4 months in total and now I still gamble occasionally.

I don't think I'm 'immune' to getting addicted or whatever, I just think I can get control over my actions when it's needed.

Here's the thread of mine that I mentioned:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030715

We only need to control ourselves. Addiction is something that happens because we cannot control the emotions we have. Addiction is indeed a very scary thing because it has such a big impact, but as long as we can control we will be fine. consider gambling as an entertainment medium. in my opinion it will be much more comfortable and will make ourselves avoid addiction.

I think it is impossible to do making log records of what you win or what you lose. LOL. It cannot be applied for sure, but if you know how much money you've already lost then you are also the one who actually know if you need to stop by now.

Nope, I doubt that mate, if you really want something to do then you can, unless you're full of excuses. Just before you play have a pen and a paper, and mark it whether you or lose. But still this has nothing to do with the current play offs. It's all within the player whether he/she would continue.

Though having a notes will make you have some good memories of your plays :)

Resisting addiction is one of the most challenging part of being gambler specially those person that has a addictive attitude in which fewer than those who are not,but yet many of us is not addict but when time comes the gambling is in front of them they can control themselves from betting but i a.m. lucky because i can proudly say that controlling my emotion from lust of betting is indeed though mostly I allocated amount to spend incase i want to play

Yes always because I only play with limatation and i can’t afford to become addict because my life will become more
miserable, so I have to resist and do what is right. Its hard at first but eventually if you master to say no on that calling to play, you will become more responsible gambler.

The best strategy is to have limitations with your playing time, and I know many gambler are still able to resist because they are not willing to be broke in gambling in short they only play small money. Its good for you to think like this, and if you can’t resist you will just become a loser for good.

Very inspiring. Its good to know you finally overcome your gambling addiction. Its not bad to do it again if you know yourself you can control it. Love ones contributes a lot on correcting yourself,not just gambling but everything. Hope some people over there can experience what freedom you experiencing now. Good job mate.

Well maybe some gamblers can make log records on what they win or lose but not all can do log records on their own. Not because they have a lot of excuses but because not all the time we have a pen and a paper with us all the time to monitor our games.

Well i guess you’re right on this one mate,since almost all of the gambling addicted or even thise who played gambling literally has other vices as womanizing,smoking cigarettes or even weeds sometimes and ofcourse drinking liquors

And your also that proper thinking is what matters most on this area because if you are lack of this for sure you will become addicted

I've been knocking for 7 years and I only allowed to spend more money than I did for gambling. Since then I have been firmly pressing on to spend as much as I am willing to stand, I have always thought differently, and that's why I've never lost everything. Resisting is not difficult, just do not think much about the money you can win.

Human nature is so greedy that moment people start playing gambling just for money they want more money in short time and this creates huge problem as they cannot resist themself . If they start losing money they will then play in order to to recover the money and eventually might end up losing lot of money. Only those  people who have self control can stay away in such cases .

You're right, there was a time where I was gambling for fun and I tried to bet the 10% of my money. After all the games I have played I earned a 150X profit by using only 10% of my earnings everytime. There is an urge to place your bet anytime. If you win, you would like to win more.  If you lose you want to get the revenge and get back your money but if you can understand that it is all because of the greed, you can keep yourself calm and resist it.

I think every addict knows if they are already gambling addicts, how their money is run out in gambling, I'm sure they try to refuse to become addicts. but you are right it is not an easy thing, to refuse and move away requires a strong effort and high will from the player himself

Strong effort and High Will is not enough if we are not determined to do this,and what will push us?this will take effect our family’s and love ones to shape us again into another person.but first we need admittance that we are a gambling addict already because pretending to ourselves is pretending to all people also so how can they help us if we dont wanna help our own self ,i am lucky enough that even though i become a regular gambler in past still i made not to become an addict

It actually there is a way to escaped from addiction if we want to but we don't want it and still remain from being addicted. Some individuals just commit any illegal activities for the seek that he/she can provide money for gambling, it feels that addiction doesn't give good things to us instead it bring us into the dark side.

Strong will can overtake such type of problem, but most of the time gambling addicts can't do anything but to continue playing as always being tempted when seeing some opportunities to play back, the call of playing again is really strong and most of the time it will easily attract players to take the game again.

Only those who really determine to quit and works against his will can resist and forget about this problem, if they are willing to quit they
will accept any help that allow them to stay away.

Honestly, I myself is not fond of gambling.  So technically I can say that I am not into gambling. 

100% Sure that I can resist from the flip (and any other form of gambling) since when i tried, the percentage of winning is lesser than that of loosing.  I don't know to others, they say that there are patterns needed to follow for you to win.  But whatever it is, i still can't risk my earnings to gambling.  I rather put it to an investment or savings to make it sure that it will not be gone in an instant ;-)

Gambling is riskier than of the others and this field requires strong and courage to face any consequences happen after. If you're not having it with yourself, you better not to tried it cause you'll only be bothered. But there is no wrong of trying, and maybe you'll find this thing the right place for you and maybe you have a winning trick.

For me it is the most risky way to earn your money.

We are all risking our money into something like luck that we should not really rely into. Luck is a good thing but we don't even know when or where will we be able to get that. If that is our skills, our knowledge, our experience, we will be able to depend on it because we know ourselves the skills, the knowledge and the experience we have.

For some people, it is difficult because they are greedy and wants to make more and more money without realizing the consequences of playing gambling. You are lucky in the gambling so you can use the money for gambling and your life and it helps you to never lost everything. It's a good lesson to every people who still use all of their money to chase the win money. Once again, we need to know how much money we need to spend and we accept if we are lose in the gambling games.

Resistance in gambling is not easy but this differs from individuals from their level of addictiveless. For an individual to gamble responsibly he/she must be able to control their emotions to reduce the risk of looses. Before i start any gambling i do nominally set aside my capital and as soon as the capital get exhausted i quit the scene of the gamble.   

Definitely control is the most important thing to consider in gambling, because without it, your plan is useless.
When you are in control, you understand things well and you can make a good decision whether you are winning or losing and this will help
you to avoid addiction. Addiction is the worse a gambler could experience as under the condition, you will never find the entertainment in gambling.

Control is the most important thing with gambling, but the same is not a easy thing once after getting into gambling. Every gambler at some instant might have experienced the addiction of gambling. Most of the time this happens at their early days into gambling. Myself as a gambler earned big and later out of addiction lost big and later understood all about having control in gambling. So, everyone needs certain time period to stay in control.

Addiction can be stopped if we want to, it is our own decision to be like that.  Once you fall into addiction, you can't actually decide what is right or wrong, and all in your mind is gamble and gamble even we loss a lot.  
Anyway,  it could be alright if you have a lot of money, but how about to those are in limited only? It problem they face a huge problem after.

The more hours the gambler give his/her time to gambling, the higher chance that he/she will be addicted. As a gambler, you must know when to gamble and when to stop. The problem with most gamblers is they don't know when to stop that is why they end up losing their money. You must control  yourself if you are a gambler.

The difficulties are always been there in any kind of situation for Gambler show the limitation forever gambling period will give the profit to us at this situation so making money is simple but holding the for long time is the toughest think.

Gambling period may not profit as well. Its depending on your luck and if you are having bad luck then you will keep losing. There is no way to stop that from happening even if you play for long time rather that increases the chance of losing more. Holding money I guess you referring to holding crypto is a good choice who want to get some passive income when selling but dont want to sell immediately.

Then again people should resist their urge to waste money on gambling because crypto will become big in the future too. But few can resist it. :D

a lot of times I been carried away and yes desire and enthusiasm consumed me, but after losing many times and when you are left with nothing, even if the desire to do will drive you crazy if you don't have the money to take out anymore there will be no choice for you but to bite your lips. it's an uneasy feeling you know, you wanted so badly to try again and yet you have no other choice but to stop and go home until one day, the same intensity of urge you feel everyday subside and you don't wanna try it again. it just passed away.

If you been talking about the addiction that will happen to every people in some period for everyone but how we handle them with our intelligence and experience will says the quality and trust about gambling in this situation so addiction is always normal but being addicted is the problem happening to start your losses

Addiction really is hard thing to cure especially if the person has a lot of money, it is not just about of the money it is how our psychological behavior changes when we used to play gambling.
The only thing that can resist us from playing gambling is when our money is on hold so that we can't spend it anymore.

Only ourselves will help us stop playing gambling when we are already addicted. I am sure more addicted gamblers knows if they are already addicted into it. Motivation? It is one of the things addicted to gambling needs to do when they wanted to stop or limit themselves in gambling but they must also help themselves because no one can help us exept ourselves

Losing is definitely part of the game, but we don't want to experience that as much as possible.
Sometimes we cannot resist because we are too weak that we let our emotion do it again, we forget the basic rule that we should
only gamble with that amount that we can afford to lose, it's a double regret when we do that and in the end we think of quitting gambling.

I have some regrets in the past but I'm still here now, its really hard to resist gamble but we should stay discipline.

I've never had the urge; maybe within the moment, but that's what setting limits is for. If you restrict yourself to only a certain amount of funds, you really shouldn't have any problem. I know it's easier said than done though.

Its good to be prepared on this that feel the urgency to resist because if you have a target limit in the first place then your emotion will be more stable during that moment. Its good to have this always in gambling, it can save you to lose bigger money because the moment you let your emotion to overcome you, the bigger money is in risk.

Time also is important while gambling because of it is an addictive thing.So we need to restrict ourselves from gambling when we are playing it based on our mind perspective not on money or time and hoping that we can earn more than what we bet on that time period.Having the clear intention is important while gambling that is not for money just for the sake of entertainment.

Added unto it mate i guess allocating specific amount while we wanted to play is best strategy to control our self from being addicted.and telling our family and love once regarding this vices is more relevant to prevent this from happening

Because from this maybe we can let our wife or someone close to us handling our money when were playing,so when the allocated amount is done then you can stop and try luck next time

Indeed, if you have a lot of activities to do during your day you may forget gambling and as the time goes by the desire of NOT wanting to gamble becomes a routine and you clear yourself from this addiction. This is why experts advise to find something that you are passionate about and spend much much time on it.

To be honest, there are times that I can't control myself and I put large amount of bets in a gambling website. There are times that I won but my lose are more than my winnings which is sad for me. If you got addicted already, it is hard for you to stop gambling so when you are starting in gambling, you must know how to stop so that you prevent yourself from getting addicted into it.

Very common with gamblers, this addiction really affects good judgement thinking that satisfying lust will always makes them happy, people forget that gambling is addicted and once you've got attached you'll be having problem resisting, though we do have different interpretations of this addictions but
results still the same, it's a problem in mind where you will keep doing things even its no longer helpful and its already causing problem to you.

Is just our mind who controlled our decisions as well as our doings. We mentally affected if we are so aggressive to win, even the hard times we still gamble and losing everything we have in the end. And  that's a big challenge for gamblers, we just put in our mind and would to know our limitations cause gambling is just losing our money than of winning.

No, keeping a distance out of gambling will make it more worse. You know how they say it, you must face your fear. Instead of creating a gap between you and your gambling addiction, you should try minimizing the time of your gambling time after time. You can't just stop gambling especially if you are already addicted to it, it is so hard trust me.

Well some people can easily turn away when they get to that point that they have to do so. Some can't. I guess gambling just isn't for those that can easily get swayed by their emotions. I've experienced several times having the urge to stay on a table both because of a winning streak and to catch up on my losses. Just be clear on where gambling stands in your priorities. Thankfully it doesn't rank high in mine.

I'm quite lucky to say, that I was able to restrain myself of heavy gambling.
This question contains the answer, it is all about adrenaline rush. Must be some kind of primordial mechanism built in to human psyche.
I said human where in fact this mechanism would be only justified in case of a men. I bet (no pun intended), that women experience while gambling is much different. This may be a rare example of women's mind superiority over men's.
Guys seem to get more emotional, adrenaline shades few simple facts, makes them irrational. Gals however are able to keep their feeling at bay, self-serving seem to work as a shield and protects them from going crazy with the bets.
There must be a reason why there is such a difference in men to women ratio in gambling.

Men loves challenges than women and men are known risk takers.
So when we loss in gambling we don't easily give up, we want to win back our loses and we affected a lot as we put our emotion to it.
Perhaps sometimes we treat gambling with passion that's why we fell in love to it although it's not good for us.

Its comes to gamblers as a challenge as well. They want to beat the house every time they enter even though they have the logic that shows that is is very rare for the house to lose and that too for only a few seconds until the next bet is a red streak. They feel jealous when someone else wins big but fail to realize that the big win came at the expense of a number of big losses.

Resisting is not easy. But it can be done if you are willing to stop.

You are a real gambler mate because you can understand this kind of feelings that only people on the specific table and in actual betting felt.i must admit that you got me there telling to be jelous if somebody wins while I’m not.but overjoyed when the turns favors me lol

This is why gambling becomes very addicting because of this behavioral changes from each players,many people turns greedy when gambling took over their characters,but lucky for me that i did leave those baddest thing after my first born child comes to life

I have been able to save myself from gambling addiction. I used to gamble with the money I can afford to lose but, some time i lose control and busted some fair amount of money. Then, i tried to think of people who were addicted and the misery happened to them. That's how i slowly reduced spending time on online casinos. Now I am happy that I took the decision to refrain myself from playing a lot.

good for you because you overcome your addiction . i know that its hard to  have an addiction in gambling because money is always at risk and involved in here  but you know what we do have some similarities as i also beat my addcition although not on gambling but for other addictive activities such as watching nsfw contents  , playing video games  , procrastinating , and others  , etc ..   

it feels to good to live the life in a balanced way  .

This is the thing that when people get so obsessed and want to earn quick money turn to the gambling forgetting that casinos owners want to make money and so they have started this business and our chances of winning becomes less as compared to house. Though trying luck at times is fine but when they keep gambling and keep losing huge money it hurts at the end of the day badly to them and their family as well.

Most of the time, I am able to resist gambling especially when I have many things to do. I have done this because I am not totally addicted to it and would definitely not be.

whatever form of your plan to limit the game is very important, you can limit it in terms of time, but this is far more risky
because you can bankrupt in a short time in gambling, I think limitation funds in gambling will be better choice

Then you don't have any problem if you want to quit gambling in anytime. I hope that we all can have what you can do so we can prevent from becoming addicting in gambling. But it will not easy to resist gambling especially if we have experiences in many gambling games. We want to keep playing without want to quit because we want to make money from gambling which is too difficult for us to get. We need to realize that we need to resist gambling if we have another thing to do so we can prevent from playing gambling on that day.

Spending time with my family and in other activities that are not related to gambling helps control your addiction. There are many other things that can get your attention and that will not let you focus on your addiction. After some time, you will change routines and gambling happens an old habit that you used to have in your old times.

Hard to break bad habits though gambling is not a bad habit!  Many gamblers actually depends on what they doing online to live and many of them are treating gambling as trading and some depends on what they make from the market.

Absolutely, focus yourself and attention into another thing which is not actually related to gambling and develop it slowly that can change your routine as well or make it as your habit for the meantime while you are adjusting.

It will take time to be able to completely resist gambling, you should be consistent and must have the discipline
to do things that would help you stay away in gambling. It's just a matter of self control, without that you won't be successful.

I can control mayself in first place because I treat this as a Fun place to be and have a great time gambling with friends and come back and relax . I do not consider it as a money making source and thus it helps me not to get addicted to it as wel .

Oh-hoh, really eh? But still getting addicted to crypto and betting on all of your efforts on it :P it's still a gamble to me though. And same thing goes on, whatever it maybe here on this industry.

It may only be fun, but you'll never realize that you're getting addicted to it for it brings you joy whenever you play a certain game and give you rewards. :P

You're right it always take time to be able to resist gambling addict but if gambling addicted person didnt gamble when he is stressful, in huge debt, mood disorders, intoxicated, not gambling to recover losses and must set a personal amount or time to stop even when the game fever seems to take over. Gradually such person will be able to control himself soon.

The addiction of a gamblers in most cases is out of greed or anxious to make quick money. If those in such condition will develop themselves and be doing something else that they will earn them money from such business or services they render which I believe will help in taking their attention from gambling. Although, some of them that are addicted to gambling are make good money from gambling.

Most of the time addicted gamblers are in the state of denial, they are acting like there's no strange things inside their minds, but the losing amount
coming from their funds already getting bigger, we also need to consider checking out our balance regarding to this what we called gambling for fun
making it sure that we are not adding allocated money and really stopping when everything is already been burned out.

If you able to resist and you are not adding additional bankroll after losing a game, keep that at it is, having fun without wrecking your savings.

It is difficult to change your gambling habit all at once. If you first start by lowering the time involved in gambling, that would help in stopping you from gambling in the future.




Self control is a quality which not many people have and what i have seen, gamblers lack this quality. Not many gamblers have self control over themselves and that's why they are not able to quit at right time.

Hell yeah,I can resist the gambling addiction for sure.By the way,I don't have any other addictions.I don't smoke,I don't watch porn,I don't play games.I'm kinda addicted to laziness and procrastination,but it isn't that horrible. ;D

It was actually hard even if how many times I tell myself not to play gambling. As long as there is btc left in my wallet, I can't resist. To prevent this from happening i'm just selling it no matter what the price is instead of lossing it all in gambling. That's the only way I do to avoid more losses.

In fact its depending on your addiction that how much are you addicted to gambling.
I have seen people who attempted to quit gambling but they still cannot succeeded and after some time they started playing gambling again. To me, I have become addicted to gambling and I myself really find it too much difficult to quit gambling so easily. I think that it will require a lot of patient and strong determination.

I dont believe you buddy. I think you are just hiding your vices  ;D

We are all addicted to many things thats what makes us human. Being addicted to a few things at certain times may not prove harmful. However if you waste too much time and money on gambling then its going to have a bad effect on your social life and personal life without giving you a chance to do any self improvement.

Maybe you should try to get involved into other work a bit to keep your mind diverted.

For the first, when i was new into gambling, i used to loose all of my money greedily with very little profits. Gambling than started being more addictive for me and in greed i wasted most of my money. Slowly i started neglecting gambling and now is the time when i rarely go for gambling only if i find any match intresting. Don't let gambling handle your brain, your brain should think about gambling and control it.

Shall we say he might be addicted on his mobile phone or social media platform, what you think?  ;D

Its impossible for a human being who doesnt have any addiction, even on the simplest things we know, there would be always one. Talking on gambling addiction, you cant really be sure
that you would able to resist once this thing hits you.

Yes, that is right but I think that only a few people may have the ability to have control over their emotions. In fact when we lose money in gambling we always wish to recover the lost and we can do it easily, through this way we always convince ourselves and try to play again and again, but for every time we get the same result and in very rare cases we become able to recover our lost.

My experience show..
I have resist. I got my first lesson when lost big money for me.
After this case I place bet for enjoy and maybe get winnings if I catch lucky lady ;D

That is what I do , I play for fun . Most of the people ( me initially too ) chase the losses and that's when we lose big . If we can't resist then we are not good enough gambler , as simple as that . I can resist and I can control my emotions and that is the reason I haven't suffered huge loss.

Yeah, I was able to control and resist my addiction before in gambling! It isn't really easy at the beginning, but after few weeks of my gambling addiction period, I started to quit slowly gambling! It's really a very good achievement for me! because gambling made me a greedy guy that's why I lost a lot of money. Now, I'm not like before! I just play for fun and with low amount of money! I'm not greedy now because I noticed that gambling isn't really a source of making money, it's a source of losing money.

Yes, every human are addicted to many things and I dont someone who's addicted to gambling only because it logical for each and every person to be addict of at least two things.
With my research heroin,alcohol, cocaine,barbiturates etc are the worst and the most addicted thing ever so gambling addiction is still kinda cool anyway.

Have you not thought that addiction to drugs could also result to another kind of addiction?
For example, if a person is addicted to drugs, he could also be addicted to alcohol at the same time and worst if he will be addicted in gambling.
These are complete recipes on how to destroy your future and your life in general.

With that experienced, facing reality will give you an idea what worst things can be done while you are inside this gambling habits, you need
to take it seriously and work out with how you will overcome this problem, many people got depressed after losing lots of money thinking that
gambling will able to help them to have a better life, a wrong impressions that we need to remember, gambling is for fun never to exceed
from that.

Well, it is not as easy as it seems to quit gambling. No other thing can give you high profits as gambling can and due to this factor many people do not want to quit gambling.




I think the better approach is to develop routine and discipline in gambling rather than thinking of getting rid of it altogether. If you have some sort of control over gambling, that is enough for you to avoid big loses.

Since i became a gambler i had to be care to that point of argument between my co-gamblers who are addicted than i do. Since then i haven't experience any arrest and also, control my emotions when on the game.

Addiction is the only critical issue when discussing gambling and for a reasonable gambler he/she must be able to control their emotions. 

Yes, need play for fun.
But if you lose big money can't control emotion.. need stop else losses will be higher.
No need to try return losess. It's main rule.

Main rule but most people or gamblers do really fail to follow on. Chasing loses is always been a behavior to come out when we do already experience loss.

Once we know that we do still have money on our pockets we will surely have the high chance to play even more unless if that money is just already left for taxi fare to go home.

Resisting is the hardest part but you should know how to control yourself because once addiction overcome you then it would be hard to get away from it.

But there are people who really don't quit even if they do know they were almost bankrupt and yet they have to still push their luck wishing they could win what they have lost. This kind of mentality will be too hard to change once they get used to it that's why at an early stage of addiction a gambler should slowly seek help from someone who do overcome their addiction in gambling.

The reason why most gamblers still losing the money is that they can not control emotion and besides that, they can't even stop the game. And if this is happening to us, then gets ready to lose more money and we have no chance to recover the losses if we can't learn from the mistake. But I am sure that we can try to control the feeling and prevent to get another loss and we can leave the game without any trouble.

If you are not addicted to the game, then it is just simple to control yourself when it comes in gambling.
Those addicted to gambling only will struggle on that for sure. It is hard for them to control the urge to place a bet in every game once they are already hooked.

Hope people do understand that if they play for fun it will be beneficial for them and also they would enjoy the lot rather than playing to make money only and eventually might end up losing a lot of money and also might in effect their mental and health too.

Well you don't really think about the fun when you start to gamble though. The first thing on someone's mind when they start gambling is the money they'll win. The fun only comes along the way as you gamble. I think that's why many people are having a hard time resisting. Lets admit it, it's more fun if you're winning and raking up profit.

If they are not addicted then they dont need talk about it at all. Only when they are thinking in the back of their mind about the game and how they lost their chances of making big money are they mentally attached to it. If they are playing for fun for a short period and not wasting time or money to  a large extent then they are not addicted. Lets keep that simple.

Not only that, but they also try to gather money in every possible manner because they are compulsively gambling. This leads to personal problems family problems and wastage of savings money.

Gambling was basically developed to have fun along with the opportunity to gain some money. It has now turned the other way around.  Since money is more important now in gambling, we need to develop the strength to stop yourself at the right times to avoid big losses in gambling.

Those insatiable individuals who won't ready to control the inclination to put down that wager and betting, they needed to pursue a great deal of cash. What we should do all together for us not to be dependent is to not to bet each day. Lets simply bet either twice or thrice seven days just with the goal that we won't be dependent into gambling field.
Betting habit won't offer advantages to you. We should constrain our hours into betting so we will restrict our misfortunes as well.

It came into the point that we wanting to leave but we can't even move cause of some reasons just like looking to get back losses,  wanting more money in just a day and just for a pride pretending that we still have money to spend in gambling even we are already in debts.  Such attitudes must be changed and do accept the losses we've made and move on to get out from the hell of addiction.

I did. In fact, gambling was never a hindrance for me for a happier life. It gives me fun at the same time I don't forget to control my emotion.

Good thing for you, what's your secret?

Nothing but control in youself. Playing gambling (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) games should be in a moderate manner. It's fun, but it doesn't mean it should be limitless.

It can't be possible for us to win if we don't set any limit, that's being greedy of us and will never result to a positive thing.
We have to learn the discipline, resist if necessary and don't let our mind controlled by our emotion as that would definitely lead to bad future in gambling.

Lol you must be an addicted compulsive gambler then. For compulsive gamblers there is no possibility of a happy and delightful life without gambing. But the question arises that where you get the money for playing everyday? Are you having a daily job to pay for your "compulsion" or are you gather money from other sources? In any case please talk to a therapist because you need it.

Even if you set a limit you will still lose money. ;D

Isnt that true for every vice that humans have? ;)

I have enough will power. If I go to a casino, I usually plan the amount I want to spend and beyond which I will not go. In order to get adrenaline I like to play roulette and poker.
I have never lost more than the intended amount, and often I even managed to return home with a win.

But that will power wont really be the same on each person.Lets say you do have enough but majority of gamblers doesn't really have which in result
they would go overboard on what they do spend on gambling.Those plans and limits are meant to be destroyed specially when you are already on a adrenaline rush that's why
its always been important to be aware on your own actions and be sensible enough.

I have to agree on this one, it doesn’t mean that you are having fun you will still continue even if you already lose big money. Gambling is an expensive way to have fun so you must have a limit to yourself. I know gambling well, so I have to resist every time I hit my target limit.

Exactly.Gambling could be more fun and even profitable if we only play it based on our own limits.We know how addictive it is so once we gamble,we should see to it that we should not let our emotions be carried and just only play what we can afford to lose.I personally gamble depending on my own budget and once i lose,i really nevery tried chasing it again because i think it will only make me lose even more.

absolutely right! if you will chase what you lost then you are really heading to the addiction stage.
playing in actual casinos -i was able to resist by bringing only the cash that i can afford to lose.
now when it comes to online gambling, i just need to think of my kids and thats it! lol
set aside a certain amount and if i say to myself no more, then i have to be firm with that decision, else it would take me to a situation that i wont be in

If a person does not have willpower, then it is better for him not to participate in gambling at all, otherwise he has chances to lose everything he has.
However, if there is no other way out, then you need not to take all your money when you go to the casino, but only a small amount.

Let me make the real time scenario very clear to you. People are who are going to gamble are obviously those who are having a low to medium income and living a high risk life. You wont see established well earning people getting addicted to gambling much. This is because of the difference in intellectual level. The low income group has nothing to hold on to and are thus ready to risk all their money for that big multiplier amount. They are obviously dumb enough to gamble that way.

There are way more methods to make money if you know where and how to put your money. ;)

Honestly once I started to gamle too often then I will get accumulate to the condition so easy but it will be hard to get out of the situation my mind keep telling me to keep betting and it will happen ince I start to make some profits while betting initially that is why most of the time I will just be happy when I lose few money while start to bet because it will make me less lucky and keep me away from gambling for few more days.

Yes I have been able to resist the addiction with regards to playing gambling because I take resposibility in every action I do. I just take playing gambling as fun and entertainment so that I can resist the tempatation of playing it more than my desired limitation. It is just easy to overcome once you know why you are doing it. If you are thinking and treating gambling to be a good source of profit, then it will be hard for you to resist because you will just keep on chasing your loss and that you will just keep on playing all over again until you get dependent on it and that leads to addiction. It is a must need that you will treat gambling only as a game to play and do not let this game play into your mind to resist being addicted on it. I have that strong motivation to resist it whenever I am playing into an online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) I am currently into because I am just enjoying playing their variety of games in proper moderation and keep in mind that I am playing for the sake of fun and enjoyment and not pressuring myself that I must win to have profit from it and also, I do enjoy their great bonus for doing my first deposit. 

That sudden feeling who always calling you to play some more, this things happen from you and echoing your actions, good catch when
you able to accept your losses and quit after and not to push your luck and bring more money inside your bankroll.

I have seen many ways where people enjoy and have fun, but those who seek fun only in gambling are the ones who spent a lot of money to get such an expensive fun in case they lose  ;D



Firstly we should define the limits on how much we gonna invest in gambling. Secondly we gonna decide on how much profit we will be going away with and will not be greedy. These seems to be small things but they are very important for success.

It is not easy to stop gambling and to stop betting but one thing is very important and that is reducing the risk involved by gamble with the fund you can afford to lose. 

It's easy if you will not pursue, it's only hard if you are already addicted and you cannot just spend what you can afford to lose when you are addicted, you'll spend everything you have because you will never be satisfied even if you win. Self discipline is necessary, we can resist if we control ourselves, it's okay to gamble but there should only be a specified time for that as not all the time our life will evolved in gambling.

When I first discovered Dice it became my obsession. I couldn't wait to wake up and open my PC and start gambling. In the beginning, I was winning and this harmed me more than made me any better. But suddenly I lost all my funds and I was feeling so terrible about my self that I wanted to recover.
Now, in order to control it I gamble with TRX which can be frozen so If i lose my fund that it is for gambling I am not able to bet more.

I can't say that I always manage to control the urge, but I can do it most of the time, and I think that's a good result already. The key is to never despair after losing your grip just once. You are not yet an addicted gambler even though you've acted like one on this or that occasion. Come to terms with the fact that you can lose it once in a while, and be glad that this is not happening frequently. Those failures should be taken into account, and the amount you lose per month with due account for them still shouldn't be greater than that what you can afford to lose. That's what I do.

Honestly speaking, There's a point where I couldn't resist and literally gambling consumed me. Though, after the rehab process, I managed to resist everything and managed to control myself above else. It was difficult at first but as time passed by, but it's must be done for the sake of my family and myself.


Well, There are times that I can control it but most of time I can't (Addictive state days). Especially, when I trying to chase my losses and sometimes when on a winning streak I felt like it could go for more and more, up until I lose. It' s a cycle, that never ends for me that time.


I've heard a lot already, though, I'd still love to hear from those who had the same experience that I had as well.

I always did mate,just recently i passed thru a local gambling in which i use to play wayback

Actually one of my friend is playing and try to ask me to play awhile but I denied and tell him i am busy with something,though the truth is I only want to prevent my self from being addicted again

Hope many people will do the same thing as what i did,for not becoming a gambling addict

You can actually control it. Know your limits and know your boundaries. That's the first thing we have to consider in gambling. It is pretty good in feeling if we are winning but that doesn't mean that gambling will be the first priority.

If people have will power it will be easy for them to even break the addiction and come out of it . Also another thing is that people should avoid being greedy as it will solve many issues while gambling and play for fun and enterinment .

I did. I usually put a time limit in playing gambling. One hour is the maximum. Through this technique, I was able to maxmize my control and going beyond that could make things worse. It maybe hard if it's actual but if you're really disciplined, it would be easy for you.

Having a discipline will not easy for every gambler because we need an effort to practice every day and we need to do that thing over and over again until we can fully control ourselves. We need to have the power to control our mind so we can be able to resist the addiction and not getting another loss.

So far, I can resist myself to not playing gambling for more than 30 minutes, and I feel it's enough when I can play any games in 10-20 minutes.

You also need to have money limit for yourself because while gambling for one hour even you can lose everyhing at no time so just stop playing on that day when you lost your limited momey.

If you are unlucky enough even one minute is enough to wipe out your entire balance leaving you hanging with nothing to play with and your entire balance gone down the drain. Its as simple as taking a 50-50 chance with your money - whatever time you provide to it is irrelevant. This has nothing to do with maximizing control because to do that you need to reduce your time spent on gambling from 1hour. Not sure if you started at higher time and reached 1hour - in which case its a good sign.

However controlling your time wont affect your profit or loss. That would only be affected if you stop playing totally.

Maybe not control, but actually i don't spare money a lot for gambling. That is why maybe i can spend all of my money and then back again with spare money if i already profit from something else.

It will just be that easy to resist if you know how to control yourself and you do know the reason why you are playing gambling. Well, on my case, I do know that I am playing just for the sake of fun and entertainment which is nothing more and nothing less so I just enjoy the game play all throughout and  can be able to resist from the temptation of playing more than the moderate play I used to do. It was indeed enjoyable if you were be able to receive such bonus so I do also want to experience how you feel on playing into that online casino you were talking about.

when I was working a lot and was busy, I could forget all about gambling. but when on vacation and there are invitations from friends, then i cannot refuse.

Learn to control yourself, what if you have more free time in life then it would make your life miserable.
Gambling is not bad, it can entertain us but without limitation, we will never get the real entertainment, just allocate a certain money and time in gambling and you'll be safe.

I totally agree with this. People who have a job or are trying to get into one should be aloof from the gambling addiction. Addiction mainly happens to those who dont have a job or are trying to make ends meet with little amounts every now and then. Social security in the States makes things worse. They end up gambling with their money and still living off it. It makes them less productive in my opinion.

One of the best ways to get rid of addiction is accepting that the games will only make you lose more and that you are capable of making much more in life than trying your luck and milking out your money to the casino owners. This needs determination but surely it will help.

Mindset is the most influential of assets humans have been blessed with. It no doubt depends on your level of intellect about the gambling that is how well you understand it and are you willing to gamble despite the risk of loosing.

Having sufficient finances might back you to go for gambling and loss might not bother you but those with low financial background always end up asking for loans after they loose everything. Thus walk out of shame to their homes.

I also now i have total control of gambling, i gamble more in past but now i only gamble for fun, and i not gamble this year yet, but for me is enough even if i gamble once at 3 months, i have other job to do and really don't have enough time to gamble as in past and now i only gamble sometimes but rarely.

Gambling for fun is our of the best way to gamble because if you bring profits in it there is no way you will not make loses. For those that are struggling with gambling addict it is advisable for you to shift your attention from profit making to fun making!

Gambling for fun can also make you addicted just like playing a video game but its more better than having a mindset of greed where you will aim for the profit and if ever you will not won  it will make you sad or depressed which can lead to more issues  . gambling is really hard to resist at first but once you realize that there are other important things that needs to be prioritze , you will slowly limit yourself from playing .

Once you get into it, you cannot control it and you get addicted. Even if you don't think you are, trust me after you play a few dozens of times you will get addicted because thats how they are designed to make you. I personally cannot stop the urge of betting and that's because I want more money every time. And that's probably what everyone who is gambling or betting feels. You can't stop it.

Right.I agree.Do not focus your attention on gambling alone so that you can refrain from always doing it and spend some of your time from your priorities.Gambling is good if you don't play it often and you only gamble for fun.Because if you make it as your only source of living,then that's when greed attacks and addiction follows next.

This had been always the purpose of gambling on where it is just really good for entertainment purposes but most people or gamblers do extent out too far away
and coming to a point where they do make it as a living which is really a bad thing because you would come to a point on risking the money that shouldn't really be spent like your life savings.
If you cant resist such temptation then expect for your life to be messed up.

Well for much better give my self a limit it comes to gambling or bets because in the end of the day we are the one who lose and win. And much better to put a money that we can afford to lose to our every bets. We all know that gambling is for fun only not just serious type of gambling special online casino.

That is not what every one does and losses actually have a psychological impact on the mind and really make you stay in the gambling which results in more losses under pressure.

So, what I want to say is that having good control over your nerves and in the same time following your strategy that is your set price levels and your stop loss points, you might be able to resist if you are loosing. You might be able to stop and take away the profits home when you are winning.

Yes I can. Gambling does not need to be forced and you are free to bet whenever you want and when you are in a good mood, then you can control the calm in the game. But, when the losing streak hits you then as much as possible you should take a short break, because when you let your emotions be controlled by defeat then it will only make you lose more money.

Lucky for me, I have resisted myself from getting addicted into gambling. There are times that I want to gamble everyday but I don't have any funds to gamble and to be honest, my lack of funds helped me to prevent getting addicted into gambling.

I wish some gamblers can control themselves when they are gambling. Many gamblers can't resist themselves when they started gambling. In their mind, they want to gamble everyday and will just stop if they have no funds already.

That is not resistance mate it’s obvious that you only have no time to play and this is not what OP is asking

I can resist sometimes but when my best friend ask me to,then for sure i will go with him in live casino but when I’m at home the call of online betting is resistible and i can manage myself from betting and most specially when my GF is around for sure i will spend my time with her than playing

This is only applicable for the occasional gambler but those already involved for sure it’s not easy for them to resist the call specially when they have amount to play

Your attention was diverted into some other things and that's effective.

Your peers are really influensive when you are that type of person that can't say no with their offers.

Yeah i did, for a couple of months i have not been gambling at all, up until a few days ago (maybe a few times just for free rolls).


If you have a healthy lifestyle and having to put family and friends on top of your mind, gambling wont be a problem to you. The urge to click the bet button will no longer be a problem or even logging into a gambling site.

Good for you :) That's what I have been doing too . If we get busy in real life , no need to bother about the gambling . I love being at Bitvest though because well it is like a family for me . I have learnt that , we can control the temptation .

Well, the initial objective of almost everyone here is to make money in gambling but it is a proven fact that you should never walk in the casino thinking about profit.

There are many ways devised to deceive you. So you should rather have your own ways to escape the traps, win and leave. People often loose money and still want to give it a try thinking they will win and loose again so better keep in mind your bank balance.

How did you managed to resist?

---

Is that all you did, you didn't gamble at all and your mind and body just get used to it that you practice no gambling for a couple of months.

One of the way for people who gets addicted to such games or gambling then they should get busy for them self in another things or create new skills or hobby for them self which will help them to keep busy them self and stay away from gambling as well.

I think so, when you see and think of your family crying because you go home with empty-handed and bankrupt, is that what you want daddy? if you care about your family I'm sure you won't be a gambling addict, and waste your saving money, gambling is no longer a problem for you, and of course you can resist and stop anytime

When you only consider gambling as a pleasure, you can avoid an addiction. Addiction is a bad impact when we don't control the gambling situation. So do emotional control and also try to exercise patience. A gambler will not achieve bad results such as addiction when they can exercise control in every gambling game that is played.

Not an assured thing for you to be able to avoid addiction even you do only treat gambling as a pleasure.If you do such activity on excessive times then it would already
create that king of addiction yet you are consuming your time and money.Resisting is the hardest part but you should really do such thing if you dont like to mess up your life.

I think every player must impose so that later they can get used to not gambling. of course the willingness in yourself is also important
so that you stick to the original plan to resist of gambling. you will get used to it later dude..

Wow, that is amazing.

If that is just that easy. The real gambling addiction is not that easy if you did just that, I don't think that you are addicted but you are just loving the feeling of winning your every bet. If you are really addicted, you will feel the hardship, the confusion of what should you do and how will you do it. I know someone that experienced that and it is really tearjerking when he told me that in the past.

You just got to persuade yourself not to gamble, depending on a person`s motivation and self discipline nothing is impossible.


I am not an addict to gambling, so its easy for me to not just play and bet at the casino or even online. Well i know that its hard to resist the temptation to gambling if are an addict to it.

I also though that theres a resistance but i see nothing at all,and maybe thats why he didn't gamble for months because he has no money for betting lol

What we need to prove is the call of playing or someone approach us but we resist even if we have all for playing

That's really bad if we will be in the situation, we are only force to stop because we ran our of money.
It could be acceptable if we ran out of money that is only allocated from gambling, but what's worse is if we still continue to gamble despite knowing we already consume our limit, that should bring more serious problem.

You got it right mate,thats the most baddest way of resisting when we have no option because we have no money to play.this indicates addiction the worst case a gambler must be.

How i wonder if what may the OP do having a million dollar to play?he can spend it all in just 1 day?Lol

Before this is not possible because I am addicted in gambling but now I am more responsible with my actions and has a limitation, thus I know when to stop and when to refrain myself. Dont let yourself learn in a hard way wherein you lost everything and you can do nothing but to have a regrets for what all that you have done.

Its all in your mind, if that day is not your lucky day then learn to accept that fact and dont chase your losses.

  You has given me strength to win, I know in games lose and profit are part of life so if you want to enter gambling try your best to earn and win but if you lose, find the mistake you did, don’t lose your confidence for only single lose as may be for the next time you get success,  try to stay calm and never get mental stress for miner unfortunate, but play at your best abilities.

Sometimes it is better to slow down in time rather than trying to stop playing all at once. It doesn't work for everybody though. If you set a daily limit on your bets for yourself it may reduce the damage you are doing to yourself.

For example, try to lower your daily wager limit to $30. If that's too much make it $10. If you do that you'll still feed that urge to play but at least you won't lose everything.

That is right, as long as we don't get addicted to gambling, we can prevent ourselves from staying away from gambling for a while and back to play again in the other time. It's not easy because the chance to come back to the gambling places will always there and sometimes we are hard to handle ourselves to not playing gambling.

You said its not hard to quit when you are not addicted but you also said that its not easy . are you confuse ?   You know mate i was once addicted on gambling last year but i still manage to stay away with it because i realize that being addicted to gambling is pretty expensive .   but you dont need to become addicted like me after you decide to change yourself because its still better if you can change as early as possible to prevent huge looses in the future .

Eventually I did stop from gambling but what helped me through this process was my experience from it. Back in the days, what motivates me to gamble are the rewards that I can potentially receive. I merely thought that the rewards overwhelmingly outweighs the risk of losing everything but everything changed when I started losing. From that experience, I realized that gambling can never be profitable in the long-run and it can be highly dangerous when addiction starts to kick-in.


That is actually true. Winning and losing depends upon the mind of an individual if he/she can control and have self-discipline over the decisions that they make. What makes every other hobby dangerous is the addiction that you develop throughout the continuous process. If people have the discipline and self-control over this addiction, then it can prevent negative outcomes that are likely to destroy relationships or their own lives.

It's really hard to control the addiction once you addicted into gambling. I can call myself an addicted gambler too, i tried so many times to quit gambling and nope i can't. The only way to do is, don't let you control your own money. Once you receive money, send it to your wife or your parents to take care of it.

What was the biggest loss you faced?

YOu have already admitted that you’re an addict then why not ask you wife to help you?and besides it seems that you have already accept that reality

Why not tell this to yourself since that you knew how to do the right way to treat and cure the problem?

Self admitting is one good start for a new beginning,so try to do it your own

Fact that you can accept your mistake and that you are trying is a good sign and kudos to you. If you feel like gambling is taking away a lot of your time that could have been used in more fruitful work try talking to your closest people in life. That could your family members or even close friends. Be careful of backstabber (friends) though, only someone whom you trust fully. If you tell them of your problem it will help loosen your mind a lot.

Then find out something that you like to do and try to focus on that and not let your mind sway. Gradually this will help get rid of the addiction. Its not easy but its effective.

I can say you don't know the real meaning of getting addicted to something.

If we are speaking about addiction, you can't even control yourself nor think that you are doing something bad. Do you get it? Addiction is a real problem, it is not just something that you just forget, that you just get busy into something and it will be done, no it is not. It is hard, so hard to get addicted into something, that is the reason why there are people needed for that type of disorder.

Yes, you just need to have motivation and inner force. Think rationally my friend. It is statistically proven that you're going to lose in the long term when gambling. Then why make it a way of enriching yourself or generating profits?! If you just like the adrenaline rush when throwing those dices or roullette balls, cards, etc. then just play with very low amounts depending on your financial situation and just for FUN!

It does not need to be that bad to be declared as an addiction. If you see a person not being able to keep themselves away from gambling every now and then even with times of respite in between then that person is gradually getting addicted and as a fried our work is to try to bring them back to the proper path.

Its very easy to get addicted to things that tend to form a physiological dependence. Its the same with drugs and gambling. People need to watch over themselves or their family members need to. Being able to get money for just the fun means they are getting addicted. Its dangerous and potentially harmful for susceptible people.

Hope some of us will hide to this advice and play safe when addicted to gambling.  It is important we understand that gambling is good but if we play it to level of addiction then it is bad.  I strongly believe that if we are not in control of our funds we can easily gamble with the fund we can afford to lose and not risk what we keep for feeding.

Gambling is not just kind of prohibited drugs, adrenaline, cocaine or even ecstasy that you can blame it because you are in a stage of addiction. You can actually resist that matter by doing self-discipline that you can't let gambling control you. Chasing lose is one of the reasons why people keep doing gambling even they know they can't win the house edge and that's what we called greediness.

Again it's easy for us to say that because we're not in their position. We're not feeling the urges they feel so we can simply say that they can stop if they want to. Its not as simple as that. I've known friends and acquaintance who were unfortunate enough to be dealing with gambling addiction. They want to quit because its affecting their family and personal life but they're having withdrawals when they try not to gamble for a day. So it's not that simple.

Of course, it is needed for all of us to do that thing. It requires us to do that more so if we are so addicted to gambling. It's like trading without using our emotions to trades. In gambling, resisting the addiction. What I'm doing was using my money that is okay for me to lose. That's how I gamble.

Resisting the urge to gamble is something I do not have a difficult time achieving.
I know how the drill works in that the casinos always win most often so that alone is a good enough signal to resist.
Similar to when I once drank like a fish I would know my limit and think to myself its not worth crashing or injuring someone driving home.
That same resistance can be used when deciding if placing your last $$ on a sports team is worth it since you cant decide the outcome and Id rather have that $$ for things I need in life.

If a lot of gamblers can think like that, maybe there are no bad effects from play gamble. Because what make us do bad thing because of gamble is addiction and then make us want to play and play again until we lose all our money.

Even your own solution cannot work either. Once you are addicted into gambling, there is a tendency that EVERY money you are holding will be put into casinos. Even you received your money, there is a chance that you will not give it to your family but instead give it to casinos to gamble. Its just a matter of discipline if you want to remove gambling addiction.

Instead of gambling, distract yourself. Find another way to spend your time and don't gamble and be disciplined

Trying to act as a mature and responsible person that keeps betting as a healthy form of entertainment.

It is very important for people to take gambling as a source of entertainment and for fun rather than people who want to just make money from it and in the end majority of those people lose their entire money in this process.

That's how realistic people think, gambling is for fun as that is the only way to minimize the risk.
If we are new in gambling, we might make a wrong judgment as we think it's easy to win and that we can make it as a source of income
but later on we will realize that it was not easy as we are expecting it to be, so it's alright to make mistake as long as you learn.

Yeah, if we are gambler then we must bear our loss, without loss gambling will not complete, In gambling we have no winning all the time, we play with our money on risk, and if we have no bear of our loss then we shouldn't play gambling, i think it is resisting of ourself from gambling.

Once you've learned from your mistakes like losing from gambling without control at first. However, resisting from another possible betting isn't easy to do when you're going to expect more winning times. But eventually if you can't control that desires, sadly you'll tend to become addicted with gambling bets due to habitual gambling  bets. You can move on if you could learn to control or minimize certain activity, it can be an occasional bets or just for fun purposes.

You react like that, you can call yourself a real gambler.

Losing is inevitable in gambling as it's the risk in gambling, there are winning or losing times but most gamblers
have more losing times. Now, if you still want to play despite the fact that you are losing, maybe you should try to consider
limiting the amount at risk, this strategy will not help you to win but at least will help you to last longer.

I am afraid that not many people can do that because when they are playing gambling, they can forget everything and many of them are chasing the win money. They cannot resist the feeling to chase the winning because some of them cannot feel that it will be too hard for them to chase especially if they are losing from the game. But I agree with your say, and we need to realize this before it's too late.

And I agree with you in the fact that not many people cant aboard gambling in that way... also gamblers need to keep in mind that the lucky factor is very important, and any of us cant have control over those lucky days.

For sure security of the gamblers matters allot and gamblers should be safe while gambling as there are so many people who chase the winner and robe them or steal the money which is not safe, I like to gamble with crypto currency which is safe and there us no chances of lose at the end, so I only support gambling but on my own abilities.

I have been able to resist it. I don't know how but yeah, i have never been an addict despite being online in the casino that I moderate. Probably that is happening all naturally. All people do not react the same way. Some people get addicted and some people don't. It's like smoking. I have seen a lot of people who smoke just to socialize but never became an addicted to smoking. That's the same in case of gambling. There are people who gambles once and then get stuck with it forever. Again, there are people who gambles just for fun and isn't addicted to it. It's like they can quit whenever they want.

I wanna be that kind of person, right now I really love gambling but I don't feel like quitting anytime.
Gambling provide me some entertainment despite staying at home, for people who are busy online we need to find some entertain also, and I find it in gambling.

I can resist my gambling addiction but I don't know why yesterday I can't stop from gambling because I kept on winning. But, I all in all my ETH I think that was .5 including the profits and then I lost it all. Lol, starting now I'll be more careful and resist the temptation.

In reality, we cannot always remember that we must have luck in the gambling games and that was makes most gamblers have a big loss in some period. They cannot think that luck is the only way we can win in every game we played and they still playing even if they are losing too much money.


That is why I choose and prefer to gamble with the crypto. I don't have to leave from my office or my home to play gambling, I can play without anyone knows ;D

We should able to resist from addiction and that word will bear into our mind to avoid worst thing in addiction. Being tempted is one of the most of your enemies in gambling that possible turn into addiction if you don't have self-discipline. We should know that we have to set our limit from gambling so that we able to resist the gambling addiction. Have fun on it instead.

Resisting oneself is not an easy task, because once in gambling the mood of the person is to win money and it is difficult to stop yourself. Most gamblers are greedy and they do not use much of the common sense. Also it is greediness due to which many gamblers lose their money.

So far yes I think my last bet was about 3-4 weeks ago .
I was able to resist because of my responsibilities the bills that I have to pay and of course money for our food,
I need to be mature and resist the temptation of gambling because of my family I need to provide for them first instead of risking my money.

For a family man then you must think of first about priorities if you dont like to experience problem later on when you dont have any more money left in your pocket.Be sensible on your actions
because if not then you are completely risking out your family and even your relationship with them.If you dont like for it to happen then dont make any foolish actions that would compromise
the needs of your family.

You don't know the reason? the answer is you have gambling addiction. And when you're addicted into something, it is very hard to stop it.

You might resist it for a while but you can't help yourself when you are tempted to gamble.

It is always greed that keeps us going on. It is not easy to stop when you are killing it. Then when you start losing, you can't stop because you want to win back your losses. It takes a great deal of discipline to be able to stop gambling when you should. If you have no self discipline, you  better not start gambling because there is no resisting it when you are already in.

Quicker people learn better it will be because for many money is very difficult to very limited and if you lose out that money in gambling you would have nothing left or will have a scarcity and will have make life more tough for yourself.

That's part of the risk in gambling, if you fail as a gambler and you get addicted, you can easily loss control and you cannot resist.
Money is very important, we gamble to win, that's everyone's goal of course but if we spend more than we can afford to lose in gambling, that makes us stupid as gambling never guarantee us that we will win, in fact, our chances is lesser.

No, it is not. But we can do if we keep practice to control ourselves. I got that problem too in the first time I am a gamble, but after playing for some period, I realize that I need to stop this and I need to learn controlling myself so I can resist myself from being losing more money. It's hard, but we need to have an effort to stay awake so we can leave the gambling game without a problem.

..absolutely yes.. I can resist on the temptation on gambling too much..I have control on my self because for me,every satoshi counts..so I only gamble what I am afford to lose..and I do gambling for fun and to relieve my stress..

I hope you will be able to stay that way, gambling for fun is really fun if that is only our intention. If we keep gambling, there is a possibility that we will become a gambling addict but we might not get addicted if we still have that discipline inside.Every gambler has different attitude, there are some who have less discipline, therefore they are the one who are likely to get addicted and when a person gets addicted, that might cause a big trouble in his life.

Being that  kind minded person who knows how to value money will keep you safe from gambling addictions, if you will only treat gambling for entertaining yourself and never to extend from that mentality then you are good to go, resisting when you already suffering is really tough to work out, many addicted gamblers just easily be back after seeing opportunities to play again.

It give me hard time to control over the love of playing games. Winning is the mere reason why I do not want to stop playing game. Satisfaction is indeed a need to achieve. But, the more I push myself to satisfy in playing game the more I get the chance to lose. However, I always get to my limit in betting and that is my capability to play more. I do not have that huge resources to continue and will just going to play after some time or I have enough spare monet to play.

Of course, it is still the family I prioritize, their needs and wants. I do not want to deprive it from them.just because of my gambling activities.

You are contradicting your own statement. If you think that every satoshi counts then you should be able to control even the slightest urge to gambler and trying your luck.

Because if you are unaware that in the long term simulation any EV- game is a loss for the player then you would have stopped gambling. One cannot make any money from gambling except if they are very lucky. On the contrary there are other methods of having fun if you willing to spend money on them. However people have their own choices to make and everyone lives only one life so make your decisions wise and logical.

I can, because I believe that gambling addiction might lead you to losses and regrets in the future. In gambling, you should know how to control your emotions and you should think of the consequences if you are risking most of your funds. It should be mind over matter. It's either you control yourself or the game will control you.

There are times I can control myself and there are times I can't. Well, atleast I can sometimes and that's pretty good. I know my priority, unlike before that I can't resist ended up with nothing left. You need a strong desire in order to control yourself because it's one of the key in resisting gambling.

same here .  before i cannot control myself , if play gambling i play until i end busted or i end winning some cash  . i guess that happens because i dont have a responsibility . i was single before and i dont have a job . i only depend on my parents but now that i have a wife and i have my own job , i now know how to value my money because i have more important spendings than playing a gambling  .

Losing is already part of gambling so it would definitely turn you into losing for how many times if you will gamble.

But being addicted to it can give you an headache that if you can't control it, you will definitely have that kind of regret.

Its possible but you have to beat the house advantage somehow long term, which would be via skill with poker or sports betting.    Otherwise with slots or standard games its mostly about luck but that can mean a good luck win also; long term yes you are facing the hard odds unless somehow you are genius with money management ?

This whole thing of security has be the most wanted on the part of the gambler for the to be save, especially the winner. In traditional gambling, fight between the looser and the winner are often seen and if the looser has power over the winner, he will definitely take the winners price by stealing.

Yeah, there are a lot of games and most of them usually focus on luck though there are luck-based and skill based and also some that requires knowledge and analytic skills. I can't resist gambling though, you know, betting on some teams is fun and you watch them everyday supportting amd rooting for them.

If I am gambling for money, I would not play a game that has a house edge, there is no way we can win with that.
Maybe a temporary win but it will not satisfy us if we have a big goal in gambling, making a living in gambling should be the ultimate goal
but this is for people who have real skills only, we like to follow them? We should try and know how long we can stand in gambling for money.

Once you addicted into gambling you will be hard to resist it, i'm a bit addicted on gambling but thank god i still can control it.

Tbh it's really hard to not gambling once you got money in your pocket/wallet. The only way to resist it is don't let you to control your own money, it's better to give it to your wife or parents. Let them control it.

Its good that you have control over your emotions. In many cases, people lose everything because of gambling addictions or they can't control themselves or they do not use their mind properly. Some people ask what are the skills to achieve success in gambling, i think to be able to resist is also one of the best skill of gambling.

Every game will have some luck factor in it. There is no such game of gambling where there is no luck involved. True that sports and poker are EV+ where you can get an advantage over others by doing your own analysis but still your luck needs to be there in general or you will lose at one bet which you were sure to win.It might seem illogical at some point of time but its true.

You dont always needs to bet in order to show your support in them. Maybe a fun betting among friends for the latest game but thats not addicted gambling. :D

It's necessary to have the control on yourself in any situation, especially in times where you have a bad losing streak.
Everyone wants to earn money so we always like to win but the probability in gambling does not say the same, we even have less winning probability
in gambling in general so it's better to be realistic than being emotional as that's the only way where we can minimize the risk.

It does take a certain amount of willpower to not be totally taken in by the casino. I used to lose a lot of money before I one day decided that this is a fool's game and the only one getting rich is the casino. If I do gamble now, I would only wager $20 per casino visit, and I would only do it for fun whether I win or lose.

It is really hard indeed to control something that makes you entertain and determined, but sometimes it has to stop and that will happen of lose your control in gaming, remember that you're in absolute control when it comes to gaming. I am able to resist myself from addictive gaming sites through managing how long I will play, how much I am willing to risk,and of course thinking about the possible consequences if I continue to bet and lost, and I usually apply it to a gaming site that I am recently involved which was  Vegas casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/crazy-bananas?utm_source=cccb) ,playing variety of games that I really love with proper moderation and also enjoying the great rewards that I've hot from depositing to them.

Definitely, and you need discipline to be able to control yourself in gambling, then you can resist anytime when necessary.


This proves that gambling is still fun despite the fact that we are losing.
For me, since I keep losing also, I already accepted that I have no chance in gambling and I will never enjoy it if I will stick with my plan to consider it as my source of income, maybe it's only possible to those who have the talent but me I'm just a typical gambler who loss most of the time.

Good to set up your minds and allow your bankroll to be limited, spare money that you already allocated and whatever results stay with the system that you created for yourself, this will help you to control yourself not to be manipulated by greediness and allow you to enjoy even you lose the game, as long as you set up yourself that everything is only to have some fun and nothing needs to exceed from that.

However strong you may be, it's always difficult to resist from wanting more and gambling away what you have.
What I've realized is if I failed to withdraw the instance I make a large win on a gambling site, I'll end up losing everything I have in the site balance.
That is one of the reason why I stopped investing on casino bankroll. I get bored of small increment and bet my investment to loose it all.

It is not. It is completely possible to quit gambling or any other addiction so to speak. You need to determined and do the things that distract you from your dependence on that addiction. Also if there is something in your life making you gamble try to correct that first. ;)

Well the average gambler thinks that they can win more once they get even a small win. That small win makes them bet a bigger amount and its either going to be a win or a loss. If its a win they continue to try that 50-50 chance once more but if they lose then its the end of the cycle and they are back to square 1. Thats how casino's milk out money - you just have to accept it.

But that is the hardest part of quitting,to be determined enough as the lust will always hinder us from giving up our gambling habit

I totally agreed on you mate because i used to be a gambling addict also though that time it wasn’t online because those are the days when physical gambling is,and we use to be in casinos or other gambling houses locally

Lets just hope they can find ways to make that determination possible and may save them from addiction

Honestly, i have experience to get addicted in playing gambling because it becomes one of my hobbies in the past 6 months, that is why i lost a huge amount of profit by playing gambling that time, but after that i be able to resist myself to become addicted and be greedy in playing gambling that even i play gambling for a long time i still didn't lose a lot of money in playing because i limit myself in betting huge amount of money, that is why i don't lose a lot of money. Anyways, i am now playing in a bitcoin casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/wild-pixies?utm_source=ccwp) that has hundreds of famous casino games that you can play like poker, baccarat, blackjack, roulette, and slots. It also offers outstanding bonuses for new players  that you can get 225% on deposits and get up to 1,000 mBTC.

Yes. Its so exciting and fun to see rolling the dice and hoping for the luck. When I play gambling I set my money to spend so I will not exceed to it. Playing in gambling is so much fun to do but do not make it a hobbit because eventhough you set your limit but you played everyday its a non sense. Its depends on people how they see gambling to fun or do it as a business.

After a hundreds hours of gambling I found out that it's pretty hard to stop playing. Gambling becomes a strong addiction and has a negative impact on other aspects of life. I have tried to control myself over and over again and found out that the best way is to make a long pause to let your mind relax.

I think the best way for you is not just pausing but totally stopping for a while. You are getting addicted to it due to long hours of gambling. That is a bad thing. Quit while you are still in control. It would be harder to stop if you are full on addicted to gambling already.

Not gonna lie i was a addicted gambler when i was starting my journey on bitcoin community. But then i eventually faced some lossed made a lot of mistakes and learnt from them. The best way to cut this addiction is to play gambling for fun instead of making money. Do not try to cover your losses or try to double your money. No strategy will beat the house edge no matter how much you try.

Experience is a best teacher, I also once experience getting addicted in gambling  and you would not have a peace of mind because of addiction.
It will take you pleasure in other things as your mind is only focus in gambling and worst is you loss most of the time
due to lack of discipline and being so aggressive.
Now, I can play for fun but sometimes my emotion still affects me especially in most crucial times.

How to gambling just only for fun? It's kinda impossible for me, because losing money in gambling is really really not fun.

I am also an addicted gambler and it's really hard to control ourself to not to gamble (sportsbook) even a day. They only way to stop me is when i don't have any money left in my pocket.

It is hard for someone who's already attached and addicted to gambling. We can say and warn others that quick and easy that they should gamble for fun. I know that this strategy is very effective but not for most.

What's the most important thing is you are able to resist.

When you are it for a long time it's hard to control it, and you may fall into a compulsive gambler, where you gamble for the sheer fun of it, not minding if you are losing or winning, I have a friend who was like that and boy, it takes the whole family to urge to seek medical help, almost impossible to let go when you spend a lot of time and really hook.

Principles matters a lot. If you are a man of words,, you would not exceed the money you put aside for gambling. If you loss the money you go home, if you win, you enjoy. That’s it. In addition, you find the gambling more fun and enjoy it. However if there is deviation from what you have planned, things can go wrong and you could loose more value if you gamble to win what you have lost in the previous game.

Gambling or any other gambling related game, involves luck as primary factor. No one ever had put the money in gambling by believing in something else. They always ensure themselves that if luck helps, we would be earning double or triple of this investing amount. However, they all should know, it can’t be possible. Luck doesn’t be with you every day. You may be lucky someday and earn but not every day.

Another Advice is to spend some time with your family or with other things that you enjoy, so you won't think of gambling.
I also play some games online with friends in my spare time which doesn't let me thinking about sport betting or other ways of gambling because I am focused on gaming.

Well, I can't tell if I able to resist to gamble since the bitcoin casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/durian-dynamite?utm_source=ccdd) where I use to play is undeniably fun so it is hard for me to resist since it has a lot of games to play and a bunch of bonuses too but I think I can manage it sometimes, as a matter of fact, I never loss big amount because once I entirely use all of my balance I will stop playing. I think it is just a matter of discipline because if you can't control your emotion you could easily fall from it. I also never pursue what I've lost because as you chase it you'll only put yourself in a horrible situation.

It is essential that before getting addicted to such thing one can either resist them self or change their course of action before it is started to take on it, as addiction in gambling is bad and we have seen people losing money from it.

Addicted to something is actually bad especially in gambling, after we got it, maybe we need something very interest to do so we can forget to play about gambling and stop it. But for other cases, people meet psychiatrist when they can't solve their addiction.

If you are consistent in playing gambling, you will learn to control and you will also learn to resist. Gambling experience will teach you these things automatically but if after playing gambling for a long time, you still not able to develop these skills then gambling is not for you. If  you continue gambling without developing these habits then we can only lose more money.

Of course, in times that I can't do anything because I am out of money. This is the usual reason that I can resist playing in gambling or betting in an online betting platforms. I can tend to forget gambling in a certain days that I am out of money.

But, I still tend to remember too of betting when I do have some money. And I am not regretting about losing my money in gambling for there are times that I am also winning. It will just depend on the luck and if I do win in a certain moment then for sure it will be a fiesta to buy a lot of food celebrating for the win.

They needed special treatment as they can no longer resist the problem inside their minds, the mental concerned already flowing and can no longer be corrected just by stopping for a while since the gambling addicted person will proceed no matter what, not even losing everything from their bankroll.

Self healed can be done but by the help of medical practitioners it will be much quicker, sessions and some types of medications.

Well definitely yes, when you get addicted to gambling, it is as hard as to quit any bad habit. Humans are strong to quit or adopt any new behavior but there are some addictions that are fatal. I consider gambling as one of the fatal diseases that one can have. Try maximum to keep this at arm’s distance. Don’t put yourself on stake. It will eat up all what you have and your family and your life and everything.

I am afraid that he will difficult to stop for a while because he found out that playing gambling is fun and he continues to play. I think he will need to ask his friends or his family always to drag him to get out of the place. Or if he plays in his room, he needs to have a friend who can ask him to leave from his room so he can stop from playing gambling.

If we play gambling everyday it has became a habit and like some of us know it is very difficult to break bad habit.  I do strongly believe that many of those claims to be gambling for fun are seriously addicted to gambling and what makes it fun for them is coming back to play.

There could be two reasons behind getting addicted. One might be the kind of addiction that would arise as a result of a poor mind set and background like I have seen a lot in the local gambling spots. Poor guys try to borrow and gamble for a win. This is treatable upon getting a good job. Habitual addiction is bad and in such cases could lead to certain disorders as well which might need a psychologist’s treatment.

Yeah, I agree with you. It is hard to change our habit, but if it's related to gambling, I think that person needs to take serious attention to change his habit because he cannot realize how dangerous the gambling for him. Once he can realize that gambling was not good for him, he will try hard to change his habit, and by the help from his friends or family members, I am sure that he can change it slowly

They claim that it is fun because they can do nothing to control their addiction but to give in to it. They know for a fact that they are wasting their time and money but that gambler fallacy still runs wild in their minds. These people are mostly the ones who dont have a steady income because that is what makes people try their luck and gamble their earnings. Those who have a settled lifestyle prefer to stay away from it.

But there are genuine people who gamble once a while in a friendly match and do it for fun - these people are not like the daily addicts though.

This solution of yours will not last and not the very best solution for addiction. When you you stop for a while or pause your gambling activities will never help in the control of addiction rather will just suppress the addiction. Most of the causes of gambling addiction is, staying gambling for a longer time than it's recommended, so, ensure to limit your time spent on gambling platforms.     

Those who play gambling often will find it almost impossible to quit it.  The gambling is addiction is very strong and even those people who are losing in gambling, they also do not want to leave gambling. It is the attraction in the game due to which nobody wants to leave it.

Well, for someone like me who do not play gambling that much, yes. I am able to resist the urge to gamble. I think I am pretty much occupied by my chores at home, studies, and time with family and friends so it's somehow easy for me to say "no" or "wait" to gambling or any betting games. In other words, one can resist the urge if he draws his attention to different activities. I understand that it's kinda difficult for those who are hooked but if there's a will, there's a way. And who knows one might find himself more productive without gambling for a while.

Yes, i also have been able to resist myself from being getting addicted to gambling because i can manage and limit myself to play and bet too much in gambling, that is why even i play in a bitcoin casino like vegascasino.io i never encounter any greediness and addiction in playing gambling because i only gamble for fun and entertainment. Anyways,  I am also recently playing in a bitcoin casino that i have always played which it is very safe to play and it has a lot of casino games that you will enjoy like poker, baccarat, roulette, blackjack, and video slots. It also has a live bitcoin casino with live dealers that you will absolutely enjoy it.

If you are addicted to gambling you could simply put your focus to some other things. Like reading in a book or either go out and smell some fresh air sometimes. The point is try to stay away from your gadgets sometimes so that you won't think of playing another round of poker or another 5 bets into a slot machine. Just make yourself busy.

Good thing I can still be able to resist on playing gambling despite of the fact that there are really bunch of games that I do play to keep me entertained. Well, basically I am not a typical type of gambler who is up into earning a lot of money through playing gambling because the main reason why I got into gambling is to explore and experience something new to me that I do not attain into the other online games I play. I still keep into mind that I need to control myself into playing and setting up my limits even I know that I am having so much fun into the bitcoin casino I am currently up to like you which is Vegas casino that is undeniably having lots of game varieties I do enjoy to play like poker, black jack, slots, and more and have their great deals of bonuses for doing my deposits in terms of Bitcoin. It is really the matter of discipline and self responsibility to control yourself into playing too much to avoid getting into the path of addiction because everything that is too much is truly bad. Playing gambling was really fun and entertaining but for it to be able to stay at the same way, every gambler must still learn to resist from the temptation because that is what a responsible gambler really does. Enjoying with proper moderation.

There is not much attraction in any game but the only thing that causes addiction is the thirst for making money by winning games. At the same tie there are gamblers who can control their selves and stop playing if they are making losses but they have also a limited amount that does not result in huge loss. For gamblers with no limit control and not much strategic in strategic games will be making losses.

Gotta agree with you being unable to resist gambling with VegasCasino. I was looking for some thrills to play and I was introduced into gambling by my friend and he introduced me to Vegas Casino to start up with. Being the beginner I am, I started learning how to play and earn money and thankfully, Vegas Casino had a few guides on how to start doing as such! Adding to the variety of games they have, it's quite difficult to stop my self from playing continuously almost every day! Off course, if you add the benefits they offer, you wouldn't have any reason to prevent yourself from playing it anyway so I went ahead and look at me now, Still here and playing games in it.

Gambling is so attractive way, where we could be addicted easily, if we not control ourself. However we should take step carefully then we could safe from addiction.
Because i see mostly gamblers now they have become addictive but before starting gambling they said, they will not addict of it, but time wise they have changed and now they have addiction of gambling.
So always use limited money in gambling, no need to use big capital and also we should control our greedy, it is not necessary that we always win in game.

To be honest, for me it is very hard to resist if you’re already addicted to gambling, for me there are very few times where I can resist not to gamble, I tried to divert my attention to something else but in the end still end up betting. It seems that something is saying I should bet on this and that maybe I’ll get lucky today and win, but now i’m really trying my best to resist it because I’ve lost quite a fortune already and the more I try to recover those losses the bigger it gets. I guess it just have to do with your determination of you really want to resist it or continue.

It is a good assessment but the facts are far from the situation, you can see many prominent business personalities going bankrupt simply because of their gambling addiction, people who are broke does gamble thinking that they could recover everything in a split second which is the dumbest thought process to being with, i do gamble once in a while and not at all an addict nor i am doing it to make money.

Don't allow yourself to be addicted in gambling so you will not face bigger problems.
Addicted gamblers cannot control themselves so they will not resist as their goal is just to play and play.

There are lots of people being addicted in gambling especially the young ones, we should know the risk and avoid that from happening.
Entertainment can only be felt if we are discipline and can control ourselves, and that's how it should be played.

You can say that in your situation.

I have a friend that is addicted to gambling for a long time and most of his friends, my mutual friends, that making him focus on other things might help but it doesn't. In fact, he lied to his friend that he is not gambling anymore but in his spare times, he still gambles. I told him that he is still gambling, his friend is not mad at him and they helped him by always asking him to go on a trip, on hiking and usually drinking. There is this one time that they even slept in their house which is really great.

The fact that many young people knowing what is gambling to be and trying to understand what is gambling, all they can understand that gambling is the way of winning huge amount of money, but, the risk? specially if their parent’s know they are playing gambling and spending their money is not a good thing to do.

We must just avoid for being addicted in gambling.

simple things that I often do before deciding to play on a gambling site, first prepare how much capital I will spend, if my capital has run out while gambling because of losing, I will not add more capital to play. and vice versa, when I experience victory, I can target the benefits gained from gambling, if I benefit more from the capital I spend, immediately decide to stop playing to avoid greed that can cause many losses

What I'm doing with the stock exchange trading should apply here too.
Don't deposit more than what you're willing to lose and preferably make it hard to deposit more into your gambling account, for example by holding your coins in a hardware wallet which you'll put somewhere far from you like in the basement or your garage or something.

If you lose 100% of your account and you can't access more funds from your wallet right that moment, it's very likely that you'll cool down before you get your hands on your wallet. ;)

In short, just chill and take relax when you get a loss in gambling. Relaxing in your mind and refreshing again will cool down your eagerness before you fulfill again your account and recover your loss. Then, right at that moment, you can feel the resistance of what you have a loss that you wanted to recover or else just move on and start with a new strategy.

The feeling that you kept on winning makes you want more, makes you want to take risk. On the other hand the continous losing streak is so devastating but as they've said, don't bet something that you don't wanna lose. Sooo that losing streaks makes me think that nope I should not play, I should not bet anymore.

Actually the losing streak makes a person more greedy and they want to play more. They wins do make them play but the loss is an even bigger impetus. Nobody wants to lose you see, so it hits their ego and they go in for the next all-in bets. Resisting this is tough but possible if you are willing to. Remind yourself of the los if you win but for addicts its a tough thing to keep control of emotions so they will make this mistake.

Indeed. Playing gambling is undeniably fun but still we gamblers to be able to be a responsible one and to continuously enjoy playing gambling all over again must pay attention that we still need to resist the temptation of always playing the game because we must take into consideration the art of playing in proper moderation. I am also into the same crypto casino you were up to which is Vegas casino and I do agree it have lots of game varieties such as poker, slots, black jack and so much more to enjoy as well as their great deals of bonuses for doing deposits in terms of Bitcoin which gives me undeniably fun and convenient gaming experience in which I still do manage to resist to be able to play with proper moderation.

I can resist playing casino however my problem that i cant resist is when i play and i lose any amount i really strive to get it back and that is the reason that i am losing instead of gsining or hodling.

Resisting is difficult but it develops with practice.
Whatever be the sum of money be, online, it just seems to be the number and people start caring less until they have cleared off their balances.
Controlling measures could be not depositing all of your coins at once, dividing your gambling budget an non gambling coins and most importantly thinking about being reasonable and responsible to the people you love.

I think every gambler, guy who likes to gamble often, have some crazy days. Days when everything goes in direction you didnt plan to go, its gambling. Sometimes you dictate tempo, sometimes you follow and every day is different in some way. I`m resisting most of the time, but I have days when I slip and I do something I didnt plan to do, and that I would skipping any other day. You cant control everything, deal with it and move on.

Set a gambling budget per month, and never add more money or crypto.
Very simple rule, and very important. play responsible and you will also be much more happy when you are lucky and win

If you are going to play the first time, be sure to bring along a friend or a relative that does not have interest in gambling, the guy that you bring along will be the one to stop you every time you make additional bet after you've lost the allocated funds, this is good so you will not lose control when gambling with your own money.

Good idea if you will do this, chances of being engaged too much will be lessen, the person who's with you will not encourage to keep playing, it will be a big help in resisting in playing any types of gambling.

It is really hard most especially to those who are really addicted to gambling, good thing to those who were able to stop before its too late because some would really push like more than their limits to the point that they're left with nothing and they only realize it after when its already to late. For a gambler to have better self control they need a lot of time and effort not to let their emotions to consume them.

I'm not sure if I can call it an addiction but sometimes I feel like I need to gamble no matter
and it consume my time consider if I will gamble or not I will admit that sometimes I wasn't able
to resist the urge to gamble but most of the time I am able to suppressed these urges just by think
about other things that I need to do. in other words I keep myself occupied most of the times in order
to suppressed it. I think today I am not that I not that addicted to gambling like I once were since the
time I lost interest on it because of someone I cared so much.

Yes it will be difficult to resist the desire to gamble if we are addicted or we cannot forget the loss we faced before. The desire to regain what has been lost could eliminate everything.

  Exactly, we have to control our emotions by persuading the possible consequence. Perhaps, gamble cost so mucglh time to peruse what should be the strategy in order to succeed. I was about to resist, but realizing how trade has became a source of income even in difficulties.

Most of all just know to control yourself when it comes to gambling, because if you follow what you think, then you will lose or you will become addicted. Actually gambling its not bad, as long as you gamble only a right. Dont too much serious to gamble just have for pastimes only, because once you already addicted you dont control it anymore.

Yes, there are times when it changes because usually they will not be able to resist when they are still very enthusiastic about gambling, but over time we will slowly have the ability to resist gambling for various reasons. For now we fully control that desire and will only gamble when we feel something good.

I have been in gambling for more than many years and I was addicted to it at the beginning but right now I am in full control about it. I can stay years without playing a single bet and you don't have to even gamble when you understand that it's just a stupid came and you do not have to play it as you are going to make money from it.there are a lot of alternatives you can use maybe they will not give you money as fast as gambling but you can have as much as possible from other sources.

The best way to resist to make to many bets is to keep your balance low, the time it takes to deposit more fonds are a good cool down period.  I personally like to bet, but I only bet with money that I can afford to lose. And I have set daily and monthly loss limited, and I stop if get to those numbers. 

I have absolutely no problem saying no to gambling. Even if I was at a casino with someone, I wouldn't gamble more than $20 maximum. If I win, I will keep the winnings, and if I lose, I will simply walk away.

For me it was not a big roblem to resist since I am not that addicted in Gambling well it was for the people who can't live without gambling it's they they are nothing without it. I think the possibilities to resist will no longer exists in their mind. If some people who are addicted in Gambling have the strength to do it then I think he/she wants a new life.

I recognise that, sounds alot like sunk cost fallacy.   Where a person has lost money previously they believe they are now owed better luck on the next bet and so on, most peoples strategy including my own quite often is not that organised.
I would only call for one thing to stop the cycle of a loss and that is to start with a hard line of possible money to gamble.  If you only have a set pocket of coins to put in the machines then you are fine, just the spending money and you get to play for a while or a set time and then walk away either a winner or having spent the coins you brought to the table.

If people have good money discipline then it can correct alot of other mistakes elsewhere.    To error on both counts is where it gets negative, even worse never borrow to gamble or imo dont use borrowed cash with crypto it mixes badly like water and oil

I think its hard to control if you likes playing gambling because its can gave you a feeling of enjoyment or excitement, but you can still control it by the help of your self, just think if what is your number one goal in your life and avoid to be too much addicted on gambling because it can cause to lose your money.

You said you have no problem saying no to gambling but you also said that you dont bet over 20 usd  , lol .  so meaning to say you still cant resist playing gambling at all but i salute you because your a kind of a responsible gambler that know his limits on when to stop . 20usd is the only amount that you can afford to loose  but to some they can afford bigger amounts than this but that still okay as long as they wont get hook in the game  

Stop thinking it's hard to control because if you do, that would make you tempted easily to gamble and bet beyond your limit.

People gamble because they love what they are doing, but it's necessary to be realistic all the time and that should make you see the risk more than the reward you will get on betting, that way, you'll be able to control yourself and you will not lead to getting addicted in gambling.

Be wise all the time as gambling could lead a person homeless, I've read a lot story about this, and this is a risky way to have fun, at least financially.
