For much long now I have never place bet with a higher amount but there was a bet i placed few days ago and i was tempted to increase my wager from what it should be before, Let say i often gamble with at least 200 Naira and maximum is 2,000 for a multiple bets But recently something came into me to start increasing my wager above my limits due to a game that was predicts to me it gives me all possibilities that I could cash out big time. This now made me to come here to asked how do you control your greed with your bet amount, do you go ahead placing the bet as your minds speaks or do only maintain to your limits whether it plays or not doesn't matter.

Again why do you regret after putting smaller amounts and it happens the games went as planned and starts blaming yourself for not increasing your bet amount, maybe by now you could have cashed out big time. How do you control this thought over your ends do you keep to your regulations of always placing bets with some limits or you place bet according to your mind and regrets after losing that amount for not following your limits?

Lets discuss wisely and if something related to this post please point it out.. Maybe would devote time to study what has been written over there.

You feel this way because you are betting not a comfort bet amount(too small or too big). You should determine to yourself what is the bet amount which you can accept when lose and win. Gambling will always feel you not enough when winning and losing so it’s important to resolve first your comfort zone to become satisfied on the result no matter what is the outcome.

I’m not always gambling but I always have fixed bet amount on difficulty types of game. It’s very hard to control your emotion during the game so it’s important to settle all your max and min before you play so that you can still think straight. The only time I feel confusion on my bet amount is when I’m betting on live games which I’m not prepared.

It's very hard to manage our greed, specially with how you describe it, there are days that I wish I just put more bets so that I can win big as well. But when it's time for me to bet that big, things didn't went my way, so it's really a big mental game for me whether to go on continue to bet big or just go back to my regular betting pattern.

So yeah, there are regrets, but at the end of the day, you still have have to think that nobody really knows what will be the score or where the ball is going to land. Just be careful though and take control of our emotions because it might get you to being addicted.

It is better to use dollar, pounds or euro which are more recognized to people on this forum.

I do not regret that I am using small amount of money to gamble because if I do not risk big I will not lose big. Sometimes I prefer to use high amount of money but I do overcome the temptation unless I am using free money like bonus to gamble. Gambling should not be in a way we should expect big winning. But sometimes I like big odds with far more lower amount of money, but that pleased me than to use big amount of money.

The way to manage greed is to stop it. When you are still feeling greedy, simply avoid gambling.

You see, when you are a greedy gambler, it makes your gambling activity too risky, as you are most likely to end up losing due to a lack of satisfaction.

There are two scenarios that often happen to a greedy gambler:

When the gambler is losing money, they will chase their losses, as they do not want to stop at a loss.
Most likely, this will end up with losing everything.

When the gambler is winning, they will still continue to gamble because they are not satisfied with their winnings yet.
Since luck is not forever, most likely, a gambler will end up losing everything.

A few days ago that happened to me. Something in me tells me that I should increase my bet a bit more. Instincts, I guess. I didn't do it. I kept the same bet and suddenly it hit a multi-win of x800. All the regrets flashed back to me but I have this thing in my mind that also tells me that if I did increase my bet then a different result might come out. Who knows, that x800 may have not come out if I added more to my bet.

We cannot foretell the future so it would still be best to stay in our lane, our limit. If we cannot afford what we are going to lose then it's better to stay away from it. Keep whatever number we are used to because if we jump the gun then we might get rekt. It's a risk. Now, there are courageous people who will do it but it might shorten the playing time or it could be the chance for a faster withdrawal.

Exactly, greed is something that is very difficult to control and I'm sure everyone especially gamblers will admit this, it's in us and in everyone. So the danger is that when you have an excessive mindset in gambling and then also instill greed there then it is clear that like what you experienced above, instead of getting a big win by betting a large budget but instead the opposite, you lose everything without any return, that's right you also know that the final answer will not always be what you want, and with that it is clear that it is about whether you are lucky or not at that time.

If you continue to do that, I mean keep betting with large amounts in my opinion not only mentally you will be disturbed but maybe in addition to financially that will be destroyed people who are around you will also definitely feel the impact such as close friends or your own family. So yes in gambling you better not overdo it, especially the problem of greed, you should never think that by bringing a large budget you will also get a big win, but think if you lose how? it is clear that you will not accept that result. So maybe you or they should be wiser and more reliable to see gambling that is just for fun.

Greed had been a problem of many people on different aspect of life. Greed can affect us in gambling, trading, even in our various investments. There is need for us to tackle greed or else we might end up not able to reach where intend to reach or what we want to achieve. In gambling, greed can make us not to be flexible enough making the right decisions or make the kind of funds we supposed to make. We need to tackle greed by all means or else we might have some challenges which could be as a result a the freed spirit that had accumulated in our body.

There's nothing we can do to always remain accurate with how we gamble, this is not about the amount of money used in gambling but the the way we appear being accurate with our gambling predictions and bettings, we can use a smaller amount of money to win big amount depending on the odd, same way we can take a huge amount of money to gamble and the odd is small and then the return also become less, so i will like to say that the higher the risk the higher the amount to win, i play my own bet with the level of how i can afford the risk involved and how i got the game techniques and strategies, so am not mostly concerned about the amount but the risk and benefits involved.

I think it's pretty easy to know how people operate in times like this. It's definitely about the part where you are "craving" for a big win and you can only make it if you are not going to regret it if you win but if you lose, that's the regret. That's when we are talking about gambling more than you want or above the limits. That's what occurs on your days for sure.

Controlling this would be more connected to your discipline. I think you can start with betting smaller amounts or even fully going all in to not gamble. If it's becoming a problem, that should be your target.

Make sure to pay attention to a different thing aside from gambling if you want to lessen your playing times there. Be productive.

I believe that before gambling a person should decide how much money he is willing to lose so that it will not bring him problems. It is to lose, because the probability that you will lose this money is quite high. Everyone should decide what percentage of monthly earnings can allocate to gambling, but I do not recommend allocating more than 5-10% of your income. Of course self-control needs to learn, but when a gambler masters this skill experience gambling prerekhodit completely different level.

I have never placed a bet higher than I can afford. I have experienced more losses because I placed higher amounts than usual. That resulted in less money in my gambling account and I couldn't use it for a week because I had to deposit some more money. And it also made my plans to save some money fall through because I increased the value of the bet on one match.

Since then, I have tried to keep within my limits and not place more bets than usual even if my mind tells me I can win. I don't blame myself because I can't bet higher than usual. After all, there is a factor that I will lose. So I'd better place a bet as usual and not exceed that bet.

Spot on. When greeds kicks in, there are very few scenarios where one will end up having a happy ending.
While we all can agree that the pursue of some money is a relatively important part of what drives people to bet, if anyone turns money the main reason of their betting activities, they will likely shift from total losses to wins.

The important difference between wins and losses is that after a big loss there can no be big win (since there is no leftover liquidity), after a big win there is always a chance for a big loss, though.

This is common with most gamblers including me. The desire to win big is always there and if not checked can lead to playing beyond budget. How I handle this is to set rules and write them down; in the rule, the amount to play per bet , number of bets per day and target win and risk ratio are determined before ever placing the bets. This helps me manage my emotions better and so far, it has been helping me.

Personally I believe in playing small amount while targeting big winning but I do have games I also play big amounts depending on certain conditions. I do not feel bad irrespective of the outcome of my bets because I already determined how much I am expecting to win or loose before placing the best.

Betting can be painful without rules that will help you curb some negative habits. I strongly recommend anyone who wants to see gambling as business to develop self-paced strategy... that is how to survive in the business.  

I keep playing slots which is a big error to begin with as chances are real low but I will tell you that I have learned something the hard way,whenever I was winning and thought why not raise the bet because greed is deep in our DNA as human beings and as soon as I raised it the money was gone in the fastest possible way.Now I manage my greed by never ever increasing the bet,this comes with a lot of practice and never think that you know a certain game that will make you have a cash out big time as even odds of 1.01 have lost people loads of money,there is no way of knowing where to bet more and where to bet less,bet your usual and be happy with the results is my advice to you.

You can change your strategy from minimum or maximum amount per bet to random bets but it should be within your weekly or monthly bankroll. Let's say you gamble 2,000 Naira per week so that would account for around 8,000 Naira per month. You could set that amount as your maximum for the month and not worry how you usually bet per week. If you think the likelihood of winning is high on some games then you could put 4,000 Naira on that and use the other half on the rest of the month.

Something came into you to start increasing your wager? That's a bad spirit you've just opened the door for, you should have stayed with what you are using before, unless your salary have increased.

The reason why low amount is good for gambling is that, The lower the money you used to place a bet the lower the damages will become and we all know that it is certain that losses will happen when you are gambling so imagine you use $10 to gamble right now and you lose all the money if you are making like $100 or $200 per week it won't hurt you or mess you up, this is the best way to handle gamble.

The feeling that you are talking about is the feeling of Greed, learn to get rid of it or learn to make more money so that you can increase your gambling amount every week or month, there is nothing that will make more add more $$ to my weekly gambling amount, unless I made more money.

Regrets are common in gambling, whether it’s about regretting about making a small amount of bet that should have accumulated a big win if you only make huge bet, or making a huge bet which became a reason why you experience a major loss.
That is why I have this habit that before I make a bet, I take the time to think twice before deciding to make a bet so that I can minimize having regrets. Surely, having regrets cannot be avoided but it can be lessened.
Aside from that, I don't think that we can avoid greed when placing our bet because it is a human nature and sometimes, we were really carried away by our emotions. And putting a limit on your bets and sticking to it can really help you manage you betting habits. Trust me, this practice will save you.

I'm not very disciplined in these kinds of scenarios. Sometimes, I can hold myself back from placing higher stakes due to greed, but other times, I just can't resist. However, one thing I can say is that you should always weigh the possible outcomes first. Taking a few moments to think about it will also help cool you down from the greed you're feeling.

I experienced this many times, but I also experienced putting in a large amount when I should not and regretting it, gambling is full of surprises what you think is right could turn out bad and vice versa, you should stop thinking the what if scenario.

What happened, happened just accept it as it is.
It's not pleasant if you keep thinking about what might have been scenarios, gambling will stop being fun if you have this mindset, I used to have sleeplessness nights dwelling on this kind of experience, we have to be good in moving on when it comes to gambling.

Managing greed when gambling is simple. Just assume that you’re going to lose and think about the added enjoyment from playing. If losing that bet seems like it will suck more happiness from your life than winning would add joy, then you’re probably gambling for the wrong reasons and would be better suited pumping quarters into an arcade game.

Is there any special way to control greed?, the answer for me is no, there is no special way to control greed, it is completely up to you as a gambler to rise up above your desires which are tired to your greed.

But for me though, one most important and effective way to control greed is to first of all, stop seeing or making gambling a money making venture, for as long as you are gambling and your mind is entirely focused on making money, greed will always find its way into your emotions, and no matter the amount of money you win, you never will be satisfied, you will always wish you had put in more money so that your winning would be higher, this is what greed does.

Greediness in gambling is from luck, that's what I have experienced from years of gambling. If you keep winning on slots, or baccarat, then you must be a lucky bettor, then the greed comes in thinking you are lucky that day, you bet all your winnings and lose it all. It happened to me a few times, I'll be brutally honest with myself, I can't discipline myself sometimes and I let my greediness overtake my gambling senses. On the other hand, greed can also give you a nice result, especially with games that have a 50% chance of winning. I guess being greedy isn't a negative thing at all, you just have to time it perfectly  ;)

Just enjoy the gambling games you play and the winnings you get regardless of the amount, don't let a small win you miss and a big win you can't achieve which in the end you will only find a loss every time you play gambling

Being able to get back the capital in a gamble that I do is enough to make me grateful. Big wins are not my main goal in gambling although everyone wants that. I can laugh out loud when I do gambling with friends and can relieve stress in the gambling that I do that is my goal in gambling not pursuing profit and hoping that by doing gambling can change my life financially.

Both, it varies at most times depending on what I think and what I feel. So that means to me that my emotion is setting the mood.

That's normal but when you lose with that small amount that you've placed as a bet, you'll not feel anything bad at all because that's an affordable amount to lose.

Everyone is regretting when we lose every time we bet. That's the after shock that we get because we thought that we're lucky and it's gonna be our lucky day.

But when the results aren't favorable for us, that's when we get disappointed. Just accept the fact and realization will make you control your thoughts and emotions.

And that is because you've got no control of what's about to happen.

Maybe not everyone can do the same thing as you do. If we are greedy in gambling, of course we will miss out on small wins hoping for a big win and we won't achieve it because we can't enjoy gambling like you play. Choosing to gamble just to have fun with friends who have the same thoughts is a very enjoyable thing and if we lose it doesn't make us stressed, but in my opinion pursuing profits in gambling is something that is impossible to do because even if we win once of course we have experienced several defeats before.

How much is the amount you often gamble with and the maximum amount you mentioned in US dollars?

I never have regrets. Most times I follow my gambling budget. It is only on rare occasions that I go with my instincts and bet above that. If I win, I am happy. If I don't, I move on. What's there to regret.


I engaged in other outdoor activities. When I feel this way, it is head telling me that I am becoming obsessed and slowly addicted to gambling.

Lets discuss wisely and if something related to this post please point it out.. Maybe would devote time to study what has been written over there.

Greed is a human trait where every human being always wants more and this cannot be changed, but we can limit this.
Greed in gambling, this is something that we must avoid every time we gamble because by behaving in this way it will only cause big losses and will also only make us more stressed when we lose. By doing this gambling we should be able to relieve stress. it's not the other way around.

In responding to this, what we have to do is stick to our original intention of gambling, namely to get pleasure so we can relieve stress after a long day of work. and another thing we need to do is to educate ourselves and never assume that gambling can provide benefits and can change your life financially because gambling is not a money machine.

Basically, a person regrets every decision made its because of an idea of winning huge amount of money. What's making it bad in the long run, was the idea of putting your future at risk. You might tend to become more aggressive once you observed from other people's luck. Without thinking your own benefit, but rather the wrong mindset that you became inspired when you saw a person doing the same thing as a winner.

I don't know the reason why you trusted the game that was given to you. Why are you so certain that you are going to win? And I want to know if you have ever won with these predictions. Sometimes it is good to listen to your intuition or mind but it shouldn't be above what you can afford to lose. It is better to stick to our gambling plan and be content with your wins. Greed is one of the major causes of gambling addiction, therefore, there is a need to follow our gambling budget.

It is normal to regret when you would have won big if you staked a higher some but we have to note that you can also lose the game. It is better to be contended with what you win at any given time to avoid over-gambling. Having the consciousness that you can either lose or win in gambling will help you to forget about the past and keep moving.

In my case, I follow my own discipline and do not deviate from it in any way. This is because the moment I deviate from my discipline then I will start making random bets without much sense and without any strategy and when that happens the person will start to put a lot of money in one bet, then in another bet they will put little money, then in another bet, he will put the remaining money on the balance, meaning the person loses control. Even when talking about playing in moderation or playing for fun, in both situations people need to manage their bankroll to avoid losing everything early and having to put money back in to continue playing.

for example in my case, if I put 10$ and I know that each week I will only bet on 5 games, then I will put 2$ on each game and in case I get it right in any game I will keep the same amount of money on each bet , if I manage to double the $10 I deposited, then the following week I will increase the amount of money on each of the 5 bets. If I lose the entire 10$ deposit then I wait until the following week and put back 10$ and do the same thing of placing 2$ on each bet. It's important for me to always follow this rule. I also have a certain odd value that I choose

Sometimes I also make multibet bets with many games to try my luck, but I don't put a lot of money, I keep the same amount of money I put in each simple bet, so I don't get sidetracked and get greedy and lose my mind thinking that when I place more money then I'll make more money, that's a mistake I don't want to make. So op, create your strategy and bankroll management, even playing for fun, you need to have some strategy to at least have some wins and extend the account balance to play for more days or weeks and not have to make another deposit again early

Gambling greed is like on the edge of a cliff, seeing people around you get a lot of money gambling is just a temporary formality. Maybe the previous trip could result in losing a lot of money until one day the money comes back again. Most gambling players rarely talk about the process of gambling, but mostly just talk about their big wins. rarely talk about defeats and losses of any kind, because shame covers it with a perfect essay. When playing gambling, you have to relax and enjoy it with management allocating money specifically for gambling, so that you don't get carried away by ambition

Gambling is played with experience & patience not emotions. And greed is the worst of them. No matter the circumstance, you shouldn't allow yourself be tempted with greed.

I try to bet what I can efford to loss. Not less not more. That's how everyone should do it. Of course, if you did bet more you could have won more. But just think about the risk & frustration you'll get, if by chance you loss. Gambling is not just a game, it's a mental challenge with yourself. You have to bear that in mind.

Set a limitation right from your deposit. If you have limited funds deposited in your account or to the gambling platform, you’d be pushed not to bet that much ‘coz you will have to deposit again; some sort of a lazy but good strategy in gambling. Think of it; if you have deposited huge amount of money then you’d be more likely to be tempted to bet as much as possible. There are just times wherein we do feel a winning bet or game but since it is gambling we are talking about, it should be enough to tell you not to push your luck that much. Nothing’s assured. There’s no easy way to get rich. Once you master this mindsets, you’d atleast lessen the greed and risk-taking attitude whenever you are betting.

Every gambler used to loss control at some point. This can be due to greed, hope of recovering what have been lost earlier and for different other reasons. People easily gets tempted and holding funds beyond the limit should be avoided. One should move the amount with which one have decided to gamble in the particular platform. This could help people stop wagering when the allocated fund gets vanished. Some platforms even have the vault feature where funds can be kept securely and used on need.

As said by one of the user, using multibet is a way. We can try our luck with small amounts for bigger payout. Not everyone wins, but it makes gambling more enjoyable than just getting addicted and losing big money.

The main thing to manage or reduce the intensity of your addiction to gambling is to not always think that you will win. Rest assured it is the best way to manage greed because if you think you will win the bet on the next round after you lose, then it will only increase your losing percentage instead of winning.

I know this may be difficult compared to what I am saying, but when you start practicing it consistently and only betting when you are in a good mood, then you may be able to make the right decisions.

To mange the greedy in the betting,you should get the mindset of control your emotion in the betting.The handling emotion in the game that involve of the money is the hardest task.The gambler should analysis and accept to get the loss in the following game.Then the gambler loss means,it won’t affect the gambler in any point.But if the gambler win the match means,this will give additional happiness to the gamblers.The gambler also learn to control of depositing money to the gambling site after continuous game.

Whenever you have regrets for not betting with a big amount, know that that is greed hiding behind the regrets. Be happy with what you win, and be happy that you won it responsibly betting with an amount of money that you can loose. When you think that you could have won a big money if you had increased your bets, remember that it also can be the other way, and you may have too lost money that you know that the loss will be difficult to adjust to, and you would have lost the money because of greed of not gambling with a moderate amount because you want to win more.

First we need to know about gambling addiction. And be well aware of the harmful aspects of gambling addiction. And if you are not addicted to gambling then you can restrain your greed from placing big bets.

I think when you have a lot of money, there is no harm in taking big bets. But when your income is fixed. And if you have to live within a certain income, then you should definitely avoid big bets. Gambling is not bad unless you are addicted to it. And if you are not addicted then it will not be difficult for you to avoid big bets.

I gamble only for peace of mind. I did not choose this as a profession. I gamble in my free time and I don't spend much money on it. I should never take gambling too seriously. Taking it seriously only increases the tendency to play big bets.

People are all greedy most especially when it comes to profits. But we also know that greed would never us lead into right decision making. Instead of sticking to our budget limit when it comes to betting, this greed will push us to bet more because of high expectations to achieve profits. And since gambling will always favor its house more than us, then what we can expect than to end up with losses and bring profits to the house again. That's why we should never cross against our daily or weekly budget for gambling, otherwise it is only us who will suffer huge losses.

By being a low budget gambler unless if you are a big whale in the gambling casinos that lead you to bet above other gamblers bets. Greed is nothing but a negative emotion that will only put your funds at high risk when you let yourself influenced on it. So if you want to control your greed, stay betting on a minimal amount so that whether it's a win or loss, your finances will never be completely affected.

Alot of strategies for that question have been suggested several times already ...The search engines would do alot of good . Buh, I feel it's really about how Much prepared an individual is, to guide himself strictly, not surpassing the stake limits no matter how good 'em speculations would be.
Edit: I think at some point, people should get know what works for them and stick to it.. every knows how hard it is to make a 100bucks, and equally how easy it is to spend it.

One of the basic rules in gambling is to never gamble more than you can afford to lose and to always stick with your initial plan before the gambling session started. You can't change your rules on the middle of the session. That is how you avoid greed taking control of your mind and your game.

It's normal to regret for not placing a high bet when things go smoothly, but keep in mind you didn't have the information the bet was going to be successful before placing it, so how could you risk so much money without any guarantees? It means you did the right thing and shouldn't feel bad in anyways for gambling responsively. Just forget about it and have the conscience it's part of the game.

range betting is the reason why you're going overboard. You're setting these arbitrary limits that you can easily break (which you are definitely doing by the way) and this causes you to strip yourself of the discipline that betting on a fixed bankroll would do. I suggest that you only bet on a limited bankroll instead of setting a betting range. This ensures that whatever happens you're only going to have money this much to burn for gambling, anymore and it would mean you're going to kill your budget, which if it does happen is a clear indication as well that you're already at the verge of gambling addiction. I've bet using a fixed bankroll ever since I realized I'm spiraling out of control and so far it has never failed me. It even helped me budget so much that my bankroll lasts a few days to a week without ever getting refilled.

Perhaps, like in trading, people who bet should not look for a single high yield opportunity in order to make much money, but rather go safe and wisely have a plan not only to analyze the odds of the matches and the history of teams which could be facing each other on the stadiums, but also on setting a high limit on the money they can risk in a single game.

It kind of reminds me an occasion when someone around here went all in for Argentina in one of the early matches during the World Cup, and ended up losing. It was a lesson to remember the rest of his life.

It's all about reminding yourself that even the best bets on paper can still lose once the match starts. I sometimes have the same regret when I have a smaller stake in an obvious pick, but I would just be thankful it won because you still can't count out the possibility of the bet losing. Once you go through a long streak of losses, you'll realize the importance of keeping yourself in check and understand that it's better to accumulate your winnings through small stakes. Instead of wanting to win more, you should view it differently and strive to prolong your bankroll.

Well, I have a saying when I play gambling, or, let's say, a mindset: "Profit is a profit; it doesn't matter how big or small it is as long as I win, not lose." This phrase serves as my limiter or boundary when I gamble. why? so that I don't feel what you feel, like having regret for not raising your stake or blaming yourself for not putting in a much higher amount, because it could be greed, you never get contented, and the result could be bad, like betting more and increasing the amount, then suddenly you lose, then you lose more than what you get from winning. In short, don't be greedy, be happy. What you earn is a win no matter what amount it is as long as you don't lose any money, period.

In my opinion, what happened to OP is normal and almost all gamblers feel it. There must be a feeling of annoyance and disappointment when we hesitate to raise a bet that ultimately wins, and that is one of the characteristics of gambling and when we repeat it the results are different and we get big losses that should not have happened and only because of curiosity.
It's best to just forget about the incident because if you keep remembering it you will feel like repeating it, which will actually make you lose more often. And bet as you usually bet and with the capital you have budgeted and always be grateful for the wins you get, even though they are not big. Because if you get used to it and master your habits, your chances of winning will be greater than if you change your betting habits just because curiosity will make you regret it if it doesn't match your expectations.

Indeed, profit is profit. As long as we don't lose, we have won. But what often happens is that we experience loss first before winning. If we compare the number of losses with wins, the number of losses will be greater than the number of wins. And that's what makes gamblers continue to gamble because they want to win more. But it won't be easy because they will only experience loss after the next round without experiencing a single win. But if they can feel satisfied with what they have and are not chasing bigger wins, they have had enough gambling and should be able to stop as soon as possible. If they decide to bet more, they may not win but will only lose more. And then, they might increase their bet without thinking they have been gambling long enough. If they couldn't overcome their greed, they would only suffer another loss, making it difficult to recover from their losses.

What you are describing is one of the most basic mistakes gamblers go through, if they win an unlikely bet and they transform a small amount of money into a big one, they immediately begin to imagine what it could have happened if they had instead made a huge bet and the profits they may have obtained from it, however this is simply wishful thinking since there is no way to know beforehand when you are going to obtain an unlikely win and make a huge bet just when that happens.

First of all, you need to understand that you need to play in a casino and other types of gambling exclusively for Fun. There should be no question of any thoughts about permanent earnings. Casino is about emotions and not about income. But unfortunately, the owners of gaming establishments do everything to make you think otherwise. Therefore, you need to play only with the highest stakes and have fun. If you are fed up with such a game, it is better to leave the table. Because after a long game, dopamine is produced less and in order to return the feeling, I want to raise the stakes. It's like chips, first we eat one piece at a time, and then we take handfuls of them. Also in gambling.

I bet more often on sports betting. what I limit is only the money I deposit. The amount of each bet will of course differ depending on the chances of winning. but indeed when we see that the Odds offered are profitable and in accordance with our plans, there will be ambition to bet with bigger money. I did that in the past and the results disappointed me.
However, in gambling, everything depends on luck. I was tempted by the Odds offer which looked profitable but the results of the bet were not as we expected. after that experience, I bet almost the same amount on every bet I placed. now there will be no regrets for winning with small bets.

I always gamble with money that I have prepared beforehand, so that means whether I win or lose I will not exceed the money that I have prepared beforehand. Indeed, for most people, this method has no sensation, because sometimes the sensation of gambling is when you put money into a game without calculating and hope to win from it. But this method is very good for those who don't want to spend too much money and can estimate how their gambling activity will be, whether it is profitable or not.
And indeed at first when you try this method you will be tempted to gamble more, but if you are persistent and continue to restrain yourself I think you will be able to.

I always gamble with money that I have prepared beforehand, so that means whether I win or lose I will not exceed the money that I have prepared beforehand. Indeed, for most people, this method has no sensation, because sometimes the sensation of gambling is when you put money into a game without calculating and hope to win from it. But this method is very good for those who don't want to spend too much money and can estimate how their gambling activity will be, whether it is profitable or not.
And indeed at first when you try this method you will be tempted to gamble more, but if you are persistent and continue to restrain yourself I think you will be able to.

A gambler is often influenced by others in gambling. But in making a decision, you must act with discretion, otherwise we often think of making more profit in certain bets for different information. At that time when someone gives more positive opinion about the bet there may seem that my win is guaranteed. I am very soon we will be able to recover all the losses or be able to make profit. But when the result is the opposite, there is nothing we can do. We should not pay too much attention to any bets. When we are able to control our greed we can avoid big losses from gambling. There is no guarantee of winning in every bet, so you should not bet only for winning.

The answer to this is very simple: practice proper bankroll management.

Yes, there's a bankroll in gambling. At the very least, set a decent bankroll so you'll stay realistic all the time. For experts, they don't go all in because they understand that losing and winning are part of gambling. What they are trying to achieve is winning with consistency, which means you need to reach a certain minimum winning percentage to be profitable. For sports bettors, sometimes they set 2% to 5% of their total bankroll for their wagers. That way, they would last longer and remain disciplined throughout the gambling journey. I say 'journey' because this is a long-term approach.

- Why don't you consider the flip side of the situation, where you bet a larger amount than intended, and then the games don't go as planned? This can lead to significant losses.
- Typically, people often focus solely on potential profits while ignoring potential losses, and then they regret not making more money. I believe this is quite unfair. It's important not to be overly greedy, stick to your limits, and you'll see a steady and sustainable income over time.

I can say from personal experience that I have won bigger jackpots with max bets on land based casinos. You also tend to hit the Free spins a lot more, if you opt to use the max bet option. The thing, when you bet higher amounts.. you tend to lose your balance a lot quicker, so I will not recommend that for people who wants to play for hours.

I gamble for entertainment, so I want my money to last longer.... and that is why I am betting smaller amounts. I tend to increase the bet slightly after a big win, but that is more superstition than anything else.

Just bet small and accept your wins.... whatever falls from the sky is a bonus.  ;D  

Gamblers bet more money because they want the return to be even bigger. They forget that the risk associated with the bet is  also high so in case of a loss they can lose all their money which they put in that single large bet.

The only way to refrain ourself from making this greedy decision of playing with big bets, we can only do is to force ourself to follow the money management plan. Money management plans should be established before we start to gamble and if you follow that strictly then no way we can lose money quickly in gambling.

Everything will depend on the gaming budget. The bottom line is that you must control risk management, and only bet on a certain percentage of your gaming budget, let's say for example, it will be 1% of your gaming budget per bet. Accordingly, if you want to bet a larger amount, then you need to increase your gaming budget. This way, you won’t lose your entire deposit over several bets and will be able to analyze from a distance how successful your bets are. If you lose more than you win, then it may not be worth doing.

That's not what is often the struggle of gamblers, struggling to stick to betting limits and rules that have been made by themselves, fighting not to regret when they win but unfortunately the amount of the bet is very small and vice versa not regretting when they lose even though the amount at stake is big because had to increase the amount, gamblers often find it difficult to get away from these things, but thinking about them all the time will not make a difference, it is better to accept wins and losses and play sensibly, increasing the bet if you feel you can afford to lose.

If we take poker in particular, then there is such a thing as a bankroll, this is all our available money for the game that we can afford to lose. But in order to move up the limits, if you play well enough and are able to earn money, then we will need the following bankrolls (if we play cash no limit hold'em).

https://i.ibb.co/McBHfr3/Screenshot-6.png (https://imgbb.com/)

Of course, this rule is difficult to follow, even I failed. Because I get frustrated when I have to go back to a lower limit if my bankroll gets lower than what this table requires. To summarize, I can say that only discipline and nothing else will help us in managing our greed. I didn't follow discipline, so I was doomed to fail.

In gambling, greed is the main enemy to be honest. If a person can control greed, then definitely he can make good amount of profits. You should always set a fixed amount  for gambling. If you exceed that amount, then you should stop gambling. Gambling can be dangerous when you bet all your savings in greed to get more profits. So setting daily targets or a fix budget can surely help you to gamble in limit.

It's all about self-control and discipline, you can't eradicate the thought that you should increase the bet so that you can get bigger wins or regret not doing it when you have gotten a big win but the bet size was small, as a gambler, you will always have such thoughts and feelings and these are the thoughts that will basically make you lose more money in the long run. So, someone should have enough self-control so that they can avoid such thoughts and only gamble with moderate and in-limit bets.

Hardly ever, you might be able to actually get a big win when you increase your bet size because you might be lucky on that particular day, but most of the time, you will see your bankroll getting drained after a short while after you have increased the bet size and soon you realize that you are out of money.

Many people use the strategy of increasing the bet after several unsuccessful rounds. This is a kind of using part of the Martingale strategy. But few people realize that even if the thirteenth consecutive going bet will be unsuccessful, the probability that the fourteenth bet will be unsuccessful is 1/2 (as if it was the first bet of the game session or the only bet). This strategy does not work, but only misleads the gambler, as a result, raising the rate gambler just takes on greater risks, because his bankroll is limited.

That's human nature we are never satisfied and as far has its gambling you just have to control your taste for more because when your are about to place a bet you will want to reconsider adding more money to the initial deposit and since the potential  win will also increase i know that kind of feeling, and the temptation is high but you just have to rethink that what if i don't win my money is gone so is better you just reject it. and i know the thing will come upon you like a spirit and you will have no choice you to want to increase your budget for gambling. is not easy to control your mindset but you just have to give it reason to reduce your greed. is better to have little win than use big money and you end up losing which one is more painful. little things should also be appreciated, if not you will end up making some silly decisions.
greed should be controlled properly.

This kind of feeling in gambling is normal. Maybe you have played successfully for sometime and you feel you could take up more risk. We all feel that way and it is okay to feel that way. On the other hand too you might be having lesser wins and you want to try a bigger luck by increasing your risk appetite. Whichever way it is, you are not alone on it but you have to know that you are over stepping into your budget incase you lose you might start feeling bad.

So what you need to do is to increase your budget to also take care of the new risk your are undertaking because while you had your initial budget, you already had your mind on either losing it or increasing it, so likewise now that you have increase your staking power you also should increase your budget for it. It is alright to take a bigger risk because of the expected profit but you need the emotion to handle the loses also.

It's a great way to make sure that you're getting the most out of your money and that you're getting the most out of your money. The feeling will really appear when they have got more than one win and they feel that they are very lucky today so it will definitely cross their mind to increase the amount of the bet because obviously if the bet is bigger then the winnings will also be bigger. It's perfectly normal for you to feel that way, it's up to you but honestly I wouldn't advise you to do that at all because is there any guarantee that you can trust that the win will happen again when you bring in a big bet? It doesn't always work that way. So I think it's better for you to keep gambling with your own abilities and plans, although yes I understand greed always comes to you but you have to remember that usually greed always ends in a downfall, it's not good and can make you regret it.

I really don't recommend it but if you have agreed with yourself that whatever happens you will accept it, go ahead if you have good responsibility. Honestly I'm not sure if in the end they lose they can accept it, it's kind of unconvincing. So I would rather emphasize not doing it than end up regretting it.

Well, what you mean by huge amount is subjective, amount that is so big to you might look lovely little to some people, because even that your amounts, if converted to dollar, that's equivalent to $20, it will not do much in some people eyes though, if you wager that amount correctly, you will make good outcome but how lucky will you get when you wager that amount, you might not get much.

Gambling has greed, it takes courage not to fall for it, and the first thing you make sure to do is never deposit more than what you want to bet, your threshold should be concise for that particular game, so that when you lost a bets, it will be easy to conserve the remaining change for the next day but when by the time you want to make back the money, you will lose all in the process. In addition, make sure you don't over gambling trying to chase the bag, you will only end up chasing empty bag. :'(

When I was new in gambling platform I had this idea where I would try to recover money after losing a few bets. After that i become more panic I would ignore any bet if the return was low. In some bets I would increase the bet amount to get more returns. In that situation my betting amount was higher. One should not be interested in getting anything fast from gambling. As much as possible there should be a steady pace. If we can't set limits, especially when it comes to betting, our chances of losing money will increase. So we all should keep a good eye on the budget.

Yep. Controlling greed in gambling is all about keeping a clear head and setting realistic expectations. It has to be, right? It's easy to get carried away by the potential winnings, but reminding yourself that there are no guarantees in gambling helps. Start with a budget bet that you can afford to lose, and stick to it and do not chase losses or bet more than you can handle.

This means that we must always be aware that greed can come at any time, and we must be able to prevent it so that it doesn't make us lose self-control while gambling. Excessive gambling is very difficult for us, but good self-control can help us gamble calmly and not be trapped by greed. There may be times when we become greedy. Still, if we can continue to learn to control ourselves so that greed doesn't become too big, we can prevent ourselves from continuing to play in pursuit of victory. We know that gambling is not a place to make money, so we will not be too hard on ourselves in gambling and can stop on time.

That's why you cannot be greedy if you want to be a successful gambler. Some of us dream of making a living in gambling, although most do not believe it's possible. But I tell you, it's possible because there are people who are making a living from gambling. It's so inspiring for gamblers who believe in their skills and how to utilize them to be profitable as well. Greed is usually felt by those who don't have a game plan, those who only see the positive outcome, and those who underestimate the risk of losing because they believe they can exploit gambling.

While there are times when we get lucky, we shouldn't be carried away with the flow and directly conclude that winning in gambling is too easy. This kind of thinking will easily lead us to our doom.

By the way, aren't most of those so called "successful gamblers" people who managed to hit some jackpot by pure chance and decided to retire and start their own businesses? Because if we talk about games like dices or slot machines, that is the only way which comes to mind about making it big time at gambling.

Though, if we talk about betting, it is a different story.
I may have a personal definition of successful gambler which unlike other's.

I have never met anyone who made living through gambling, (not including poker or sport betting)

The only time that I can make it very possible and necessary to increase my betting limit is if my earnings have increased. I don't gamble much, but still, I have a minimum amount of money that I budget to be used every particular week of the month. It's better if I don't even gamble at all with it than for me to gamble above that amount. Such self-discipline has helped me save myself from wasting a lot of money all in the name of gambling.
 
For you to think about increasing your gambling limit, it might be as a result of you winning your last game, which you wager with a small amount of money, and looking at your predicted game, you are confident enough that you are going to win that game, which is among the things that's making you think about increasing the amount you want to put into that game.
 
If I want to deal with such, I use the what if this game happens to not play what will be left of me for the rest of the week. If I'm to be in the position, it's either I use the money that I have planned to use for the rest of the week and gamble in that one game or I will still use my initial gambling amount. It's very important that we don't allow greed to overshadow our self-discipline.

It is very difficult for a gambler to overcome his greed. There is a similar situation. If you put a fish in front of a hungry cat, within seconds the cat will eat the fish. But if you put fish in front of a full cat, it will not eat the fish. Gambling is just like that. We are all hungry for wealth and we want to quench that hunger quickly by gambling. But very rich and wealthy people are not greedy when they gamble.

So the only advice i can give is to gamble when you have enough savings and when you don't feel sad when you lose. This is the only way to suppress greed. If you cannot do this, you can overcome it with psychological support for greed in general. Greed can hold you back in every situation except gambling.

Yeah. The bookies have decided everything, especially in the world of gambling which completely relies on luck, such as slots, and currently slot games are quite popular in my area and many people are chasing profits but in the end they result in losses, but even though they often lose, they will but this cannot make them aware of the negative impacts of reckless gambling. Maybe because they are too addicted to slot gambling games.


However, in my opinion, even if you have behaved carelessly in gambling, there is something bigger that you will gain, namely self-awareness of bad behavior in gambling so that you can immediately overcome it and have full control over the gambling that you do. And this is an extraordinary thing, because not everyone is able to do this.

In gambling where most of us see it as a source of profits more than fun and entertainment, greed will always be present. As long as there is motivation to earn, there is also amount of greed that we can't deny. But we all know how greed can be destructive at some point. That's the reason why instead of tolerating our greed, it's safer if we can only gamble at an amount that we can easily manage to lose. By establishing our budget funds that are intended in gambling, that will help us not to fall into greed and just bet without crossing our limits.

As a gambler when your wager amount is in accordance to your financial strength you can always feel relaxed not bother about the outcome of your bet be it a loss, no prediction is hundred percent accurate that's why we don't have to bet above our limit no matter the source of the prediction.

It's ain't that easy to control our greed in increasing our betting amount above our set limit when we imagine the possibility of a potential win amount being increasingly high if we can just increase our bet beyond our limit. But until as a gambler you learn to appreciate every amount won as important you won't be able to control your greed.

Like I said above if a gambler can only learn to appreciate each winning amount he's lucky to have won there will be no room for the regrets and blames of not increasing your wager amount. Same way you could have cashed out big amount is how you could have also loss it too if you used a big amount to bet and loss the game. So why the regrets on outcomes beyond your control.

You would be only making that realization on the time that you had made out such mistake or errors. People would really be changing up on the time that they do have those lesson learned scenarios.  8)
How to manage greed? It would depend on someones self control and  each person does have that different threshold or level of tolerance when it comes to risks factor on which some would really be
that mindful and some wont really be caring at all as long they could play and satisfy themselves then this what matter the most.


It should be for fun but we know that majority of us gamblers do see the different thing around on which we are really that focusing much in speaking on making money and this is why it would really be that resulting
into those actions which its not new anymore. For those people who do have good control then they are the ones who would really be saved from addiction but for those people who do treat up gambling as a source of income and making themselves that hella of a greedy person then this is where disaster happens. Dont let yourself comes into a point that you would really be suffering those consequences.

You are right in there. If you want to bet bigger, then make sure to increase your budget as well and that will only be possible if you refrain yourself from consistent losing.  Although some successful gamblers have really take some risk to bet high amount for the sake of bigger returns, but not all those who who bet high will end up into making big profits as well. Unfortunately, some end up using all their bankroll amount instead of expecting bigger returns.

When greed kicks in and if you do know that you do have that sufficient balance then most likely you would really be ending up on doing such action on which you would really be that making your base bet bigger and tending to break even that losses that you have committed earlier. You would be thinking that this would be the only way on trying out to recover those losses. This is something that people would really be needing to look upon or really be that careful because this is where bad decision do really make out those significant results or outcomes on which it would really be that resulting
into a possible addiction and this is something that we must really be that trying to avoid.

Greed is really that something which is really hard to resist specially if you are person who do really fails on having that control towards mindset and emotion on which it will really be bringing up that
real disaster towards your finances or in overall. It is normal that we do feel up that greedy because its part of human nature on being greedy but be mindful on how you should really be
that making in control with these things if you dont really like to mess up.

This is actually the problem of the century for every human being and during my stay here in this forum I have heard of people saying that greed doesn't really affect them which I deem it fit to be a big whole lie because greed gets to every gambler if not always then it must have gotten to you maybe once or twice but the community seems to have alot of people trying to pretend and I understand the reason why because it's a public community and writing some kind of things get read in different ways.

let's admit the fact that greed will always be a part of human behaviour. that's our nature. now, it is up to you how you will contain such greediness with your activities.
to manage this, you need to know why you are playing bet in the first place. what are your goals on this particular bet? if you bet small and win, then, just be happy that you won. don't be too hard on yourself. this is gambling after all.

I don't deny that I'm a victim of greediness and I still fall for it, we are just human but we are learning I tried to minimize my greediness and my experiences and losses taught me to be greedy in a positive way, like do not take a loan even if you are so sure of your bet just use all the money that you have if you're 100% sure but never take a loan out of greediness to win.
Greediness will always be part of us gamblers but we are learning and becoming experienced gamblers because of past greediness I have learned to accept the results more without regretting and putting it in my head, we learned to move forward from this experience.

Emotions are hard to control including fear and greed neither gambling nor trading we need to control the emotion. I know the feel of greed when every possibility says you need to go all in but if you dont have money or you dont want to risk all of it just dont do it, even tho at the end of the day you are winning. there is still small chance that you gonna lose

This is actually the problem of the century for every human being and during my stay here in this forum I have heard of people saying that greed doesn't really affect them which I deem it fit to be a big whole lie because greed gets to every gambler if not always then it must have gotten to you maybe once or twice but the community seems to have alot of people trying to pretend and I understand the reason why because it's a public community and writing some kind of things get read in different ways.

actually that only means onething , that you have just come tobe a greedy gambler now as you can check your recent behavior that has limit in betting ,meaning those days you are a controllable and a still good gambler.
but recently you turn to be more greedy and addicted that you wanted to keep seeking for multiple wins.
or multiple amount to be collected and with all those sorry to say but you need to come back in your old ways or become a loser forever.
gambling will always depend on your capacity to lose and your limitation to expect how much to take home.
on those occasion you can save your self from being either a loser or a failure.
try to begin learning yourself again and learn your gambling purpose.

Greed is actually difficult for us to get rid of because it is a natural trait that every individual has when faced with money or profit. But there are always many ways to minimize our greed.
When I was young and didn't have a family, I admit that I couldn't control my greed, especially when I gambled. But as time went by, my greed subsided due to encouragement and being made aware by my partner, and because I was aware of the many necessities of life that I had to bear which also encouraged me to limit my greed when I gambled.
Everyone definitely has different ways to avoid regret and the negative impacts of gambling. For me, to avoid big regrets when gambling, first we must have a clear goal for what we are gambling for. I myself have changed my views and goals about gambling, from the beginning I gambled to hope for additional income, then I changed my view that gambling is just for fun, happy and vent my gambling hobby not to earn income.
Make sure that when we gamble, we never assume that by gambling we can increase our income to meet our living needs and bills!. Then we have to set limits on the money we use for gambling. So winning or losing the money that we have limited will not be too burdensome for us.
In essence, in my opinion maturity of thought and life experience is an effective way to make ourselves aware so that we don't always become greedy in gambling.

Yep, greed has always been in every person's character but there are certain level to that and each individual possess a different level of greediness. If there are other people who can't control such characteristic, there are also those who can control it, that's the very reason why some people may say greediness doesn't affect them.
Your sense of responsibility and self awareness to such character will be the key in over coming it. Once or twice you've been greedy, but that doesn't mean you lost a total control over it because you've learned a valuable reason from it especially when it gave you an unfortunate outcome like huge losses or worst empty your bank account in just one casino night.
So, yeah I believe some people doesn't easily give in to their greediness and so they can say it doesn't affect them.

Emotion is the only thing to manage when it comes to gambling and trading. Greediness is part of the emotion we pour into gambling. If we cannot control ourselves we might lose depending on how much we have invested in.

Greed will influence us to keep trying to chase bigger wins, which has happened to many gamblers. But those who have this problem don't realize it or they realize it but still try to pursue a win. But they also failed to get bigger wins because they received many losses.

And when they managed to get it, they didn't immediately stop thinking they had already won a big win. They instead try to get even bigger. That is not a wise thing because from there, defeat after loss will come to them.

In the end, they will return to their original state, which is losing more money because the winnings they got previously are also lost. However, we must be able to prevent this greed by stopping gambling and saving the remaining money we have. And if we have won and immediately stopped, we can enjoy the winning money.

winning is luck, losing is a small thing that must be accepted when gambling, that what I think.

in this concept it all depends on the budget that I have and I will tell you about sports betting. if one day I have a slightly large budget and believe that the match I choose will win maybe I will bet a slightly large amount but if I am not sure maybe only bet part of it and if I am in doubt after betting a large amount and losing that is the right thing Its natural because of course when you bet with a small amount you are always successful or always win and sometimes we think about regret or happiness. but its all still about luck and betting using money you can afford to lose and according to plan, even if you lose all your budget, we not regret it.

I do not regret whatever the result of my either small or large bet is. Gambling involves risk and there are times when I am feeling lucky. At these times, my hunger for risk taking is high. It is during this times that I slightly increase the percentage of my gambling budget from 5% to 10% and rarely 15%. I do all of these not under peer pressure but base on my risk management. Maybe what gamblers call greed is what I call a thrilling seeking adventure where we never know the outcome but we love the experience in itself.

First who predicted for you? because you have told us that something came up due to game that predict for you..
so we can discuss everything that you wanted to understand .

-----------------------------------------------------

I sometimes do this act mate but not because of someone predicted the game for me but instead when time comes that I have this instinct that I am gonna win that round.

but trust no one from gambling , because it is your money and for you

I think greed is a trait shared by all gamblers. I'm sure all gamblers have had such experiences and we should learn from them. Often when we place a bet with a small amount it turns out it goes according to plan and when we increase the bet it turns out we lose and all that is left is regret.

Sometimes I make targets, how many winning targets I want to achieve. If the target has been met I will withdraw all or part of the money. Then I will play the remaining money that I have withdrawn so that when loses comes I don't lose my capital

I'm not a professional in this subject, but I think greed appears in all different places and don't think you can manage it. Different lessons of failure will make us sober up about that greed
I remember a few days ago having an experience on a few gambling platforms and after a period of only losses, it no longer brought joy happy but turned into a sad state. So I think everyone needs to experience it for themselves to know its authenticity.

I can bear the risk of 200 Naira to 2000 Naira of our native currency and that is the limits i can go so far, you know there are some games that are too tempting whereby you may wants to increase your wager for a higher profits.
I know its very hard to control this feeling as human are always engulfed with greed you may wants to place a bet with 500 Naira but since your mind keeps telling you that you could win the game and why not increase the wager for max profits.

Yes, gamblers have experienced experiences like that, but many gamblers still have not learned from their experiences and are still trapped in that greed. They forget what they have experienced so they have to lose a lot of money because their greed encourages them to continue gambling.

I have also had experiences where after playing several rounds but not winning, I increased the bet in the hope that I could win. But that also didn't help me to win but instead, I got bigger losses. But if you set a winning target that you have to achieve, it often makes it difficult for you to achieve it because you might experience defeat before you can win, which often frustrates you.

yes.. I often do that, when my target hasn't been achieved I keep playing and hope that my target is achieved but everything runs out before I reach the target.

It is difficult to find a definite formula so that we can control finances and greed. Maybe we can only use feelings, if we feel that our luck is not good, we should stop playing and withdraw the remaining money before it is all gone. But it is always easier to say and very difficult to practice.

The key to dealing with all of this is to limit the gambling budget, because if we consistently limit the budget even when we lose and the money runs out we will automatically stop without having to make another deposit, emotions and greed will not cover our feelings when we lose, as long as we consistently limit our gambling budget so that can be an alarm for us when to stop gambling.

I even do that often and it's true that I'm not affected by increasing my bets because I've already reached my daily gambling budget limit. so I have to stop gambling and come back tomorrow to gamble again, if we are consistent with this habit it is guaranteed that it will not become an addiction too, in the end gamble wisely and responsibly. Everything must be managed properly, the point is to limit the budget.

In order to prevent greed when gambling it is necessary to always consider that there is a possibility of loss rather than focusing on gain. In this way, the amount of money you will lose in case of a possible loss will also affect your gambling psychology. In addition, it is necessary to play knowing that the opportunities in gambling are not always exhausted. In other words, instead of taking advantage of every opportunity with as high an amount as possible, budget management to take advantage of all opportunities with a good budget distribution will override your idea of making high bets. In addition, if you placed a higher bet than your budget and earned a profit you should definitely withdraw that winnings without spending it on gambling. This will actually help you feel better about the winnings and help you avoid being greedy and trying to earn more.

That's a mistake that many of us usually make, putting targets to achieve them and if for example we still can't achieve them we will never stop. I think that's not entirely wrong because in gambling as long as you don't get too greedy it doesn't really matter, besides you play just for fun there you can also set targets but what I mean is that you have to set the target according to the capital you bring, for example you can only set a target of 50% - 80% of the capital you bring, meaning that if you can achieve victory according to that percentage then you can stop and you must remember not to put targets that are beyond the ability of the capital you bring. For example, you bring $10, well don't let you put the winning target at $500 for example, that's impossible my friend, and it will definitely be very difficult to achieve it even more so this is just about luck, so the point is to set a reasonable target, don't be too greedy because surely if you can't achieve it you will get emotional and possibly make a re-deposit, instead of wanting to win but even the opposite.

I think the point is the problem of your mindset and greed must be corrected, do not be too ambitious and aggressive when gambling, it is very dangerous, yes that's right, using feelings or feelings is also not too bad friends, if the spin is bad you can leave immediately.

Maybe just step aside the money that you want to play and you will be good? The problem is that when we lost that money, our first instinct is to try to get it back and recoup our losses that's why we went and go deposit again and again until it's too late that we lost all our money. And the next time, we said to ourselves that we will try to control our emotions and yet we still fall for that trick of depositing again after a lost, unless you really are very lucky that day and recovering or at least on the positive side. So it's very very hard indeed to manage our greed. Actually there are players who already won but when greed sets it, they can't just get out of that cycle and wanted to play more.

If we only lets things depends upon our feelings , then I am afraid that we would not be able to make accurate decisions. Why we put our finicials descions to be decided on our feelings? We cannot rely on our feelings as they may vary depending upon our mood.

A better approach is to make a plan for gambling. A plan where we know that after certain money lost we will quit for the day. No matter what happens, we will stick to our plan. This is the only way to remain safe in gambling.

Exactly, it is very difficult to escape from such wrong instincts, even though initially you have managed to get a win but surely the assumption will come out that "I have to continue playing with a larger number of bets so that the winnings are also getting bigger", and after that your money including the results of the victory will run out, it usually happens when they have won. And then especially if you lose, as you said they will not accept the results and surely the first instinct that comes out is that they have to get their winnings again with a larger amount in order to cover the previous loss, then they will make another deposit with very high hopes and a little emotional feeling of revenge, but what happens? Well lose again, that's a fact that often happens and of course must be avoided because it is clearly very dangerous. The fact is that most people who end up addicted and end up with all the downturns start with problems like the ones I have said above.

I think it's just nonsense even though they initially said that they would make full control with some restrictions there, because of course it is very unlikely that they can do it when conditions are not good - okay. Cycles like this will continue to happen and only a small percentage can get out of a zone like this, so set the right mindset when you are new to gambling, don't be tempted by anything because it's just a trap, there is no certain victory but only defeat will continue to dominate.

This is really challenging for us once we are already addicted into gambling. I usually do small bets of $2 to $5 as I am living in a third world country. The max bet that I have back then was $20, but I was lucky enough to win and just called it a day.

I have set my own boundaries and limits when it comes to online casino gambling. The winning streaks are one factor that makes us slowly turn to being greedy. It’s something that is hard to control within our emotions.

Once I am already satisfied with my bets and winnings at a certain amount range, I am calling it a day even if it means I wanted more of that. Same thing goes if I lose at least twice then I stopped.

It is common for many gamblers when they have a winning target that they want to achieve. But in reality, achieving their winning target is difficult because their money runs out before they can even win. We can only limit the use of money if we have a winning target that we want to achieve because that will make it difficult for us to get it. Apart from that, we also don't know when luck will come so that we can win the gambling game. And even if we keep trying, it also doesn't guarantee we can win because this is gambling where someone wins and loses.

I do agree with your statement.

I mean, I understand that it might be tempting to increase your bets especially if you feel the urge to do so. In addition, this urge becomes so addicting to the point that you start to regret by not increasing your wagers if you won the current round. But please take note that in gambling, this is what they want us to feel- the urge to gamble and bet more money on the process.

Being level-headed while doing gambling activities is ideal- but like what we have experienced, it is easier said than done. I do recommend that you bring only enough cash/resources for the day so that you would be compelled to stop.

That is talking about budgeting. To have a range of amount to gamble help to put a stop to losses. At least to have a weekly plan is better and it starts from how much we leave at the gambling account, if you keep so much money above your budget for the week then the chances that we will keep playing from it after loses is high. If we could plan a certain amount daily and total it up to week then even if we exhaust the bankroll in one day, that takes care of the week. However, it is not easy for an addict, a regular player or someone who only gambles after awhile can control his emotion but an addict will find himself going back to bet until he runs out of coins in the account.

Yes, it's true that the most important factor is limiting the budget and what you said is true, bring enough money, make sure you gamble with money that is ready to be lost, when the money runs out and reaches that limit, of course we will automatically stop gambling because that can be an alarm for ourselves. rather don't gamble too deeply and seriously, let alone gamble without limits until you become addicted as a addict.

When we limit our gambling budget, the greed within us will definitely disappear because we are used to consistently controlling it and playing gambling more calmly, it is difficult to do but it is mandatory if we want to be a gambler so that we don't gamble too deeply and make us forget ourselves, especially be greedy.

Exactly, you can't control that in terms of luck though experienced may allow you to assess the possibility I mean can give you some hint to whatever next steps you need to do either to avoid losing a lot or to quit while you still have some decent profits, emotion is your killer when you are into this activity, most of the time greed dominate you, thinking that you can earn more if you will keep pushing and aiming for bigger profits instead of quitting and enjoying small earnings.

We all have greed hidden within us, but the problem is some have managed to control it while others have become slaves of their own greed that they tend to be carried away and do decisions impulsively. With gambling, if you are under the control of greed, you will most likely lose in the end. That is why to prevent yourself from being too much greedy, set your budget first before you decide to bet. Whether you win or lose, at least you know you never fall on your greed that will surely ruin your hard earned funds.

Greed in betting is easily limited by the thickness of the wallet. If the wallet is not completely full, then this will moderate the ardor with the bets.

Regrets, self-blame and other emotions are not appropriate in gambling if you are chasing a big win. Emotions will not help, but on the contrary, they will only harm, therefore, it is necessary to restrain them as much as possible and adhere to the strategy. Only a systematic, prudent and balanced game. It's like you're on a secret mission and one wrong move with your bet will reveal you. :) It is more prudent to place bets in accordance with your limits, determined in advance by the strategy and initial action plan.

Better yet, for your wallet, is not to gamble at all. And then, all the above-described problems and questions become irrelevant. :)

People typically think they're resistant to gambling addiction until they're hooked. Though "I'll control myself" or "I won't let it get to me" is easy, our brains have a weird way of justifying our actions when we're losing. We say, "Just one more bet and I'll win it all back" or "This time, I've got a feeling it'll be different." But does it ever change?

Healthy gaming involves much self-awareness and discipline. Limit your gambling. Leave when you reach that limit. No doubts. Otherwise, you'll keep losing. Casinos and internet gambling sites are meant to hook you. Do you control yourself or do they?

But the thing is we cannot avoid these emotions, we can only manage it. All people has this kind of emotions , some people can manage it very well but for some people they cannot do it because their emotions controls their brain, their decision and they cannot think properly because they only think that they need to win no matter what happen and it will cause them so much trouble.

Well that's how it goes for most things people get addicted to.  They always think they're fine until they're not.  I compare it to taking drugs, you always start off slow and it's fun and everything is fine until you spiral out of control and you tend to not even realize it along the way.  I feel for those whom are addicted, because for me it's never been an issues thankfully.

That's right. No one knows when luck will come, so we must gamble in moderation and don't need to chase victory. Moreover, by gambling moderately, we can avoid the increase in emotions that will continue to grow as long as we play and will become bigger if we play any longer. Playing longer will obviously affect our emotions and if we win, it will make greed dominate us so that we only want to win and find it difficult to accept defeat. We have to control it so we don't experience many losses if luck doesn't come to us. And before we lose more, we must be able to stop gambling and leave the casino before the greed becomes bigger and it is difficult for us to control it.

Everything should really be in moderation or simply needed up to be in control so that you wont really be ending up yourself on a tough situation or difficult moment of your life just because you had tolerated that wrong doing or decision specially when dealing up with gambling on which we do know that it is really that too dangerous if you do tolerate out such thing and wont really be making out that immediate step for you to be able to have that kind of awareness about on your action.Its impossible that we cant really be able to distinguish between good and bad but sometime due to love of money or simply with greed then we do really forget out things which needs to be done rather than on tolerating your greediness.

Everything should really be in moderation because if you don't then you are really that prone into those usual wrecking situation in terms of finances.
Never ever make yourself that too dumb on doing the right thing or decision because it would really be just for your own good.

That's the most important thing without a doubt. I know that there are a lot of people who do not approach it with that much care but those will be the people who will end up losing a lot of money as well. I personally believe that the best part about limiting your budget is that it allows you to gamble care free.

Well, simply put you can gamble however you want, if your money is gone then it's gone and it's limited so you knew that you are going to lose that money, how and when doesn't matter because that was always the point, you allowed that money to be lost from the start and that's how you are going to end up getting more fun. This means that you are going to end up with gambling with more fun, and you can do whatever you want and you can just enjoy life much better. This means that limiting your betting amount, like with one deposit that is it for the whole month type of thing, could result with you not only getting joy, but also even maybe better results too.

What you say is correct because controlling ourselves when we gamble will not give us problems and we can also enjoy it. And if we can gamble within these limits, we can know that gambling is just entertainment and we shouldn't expect too much profit from gambling. Instead, we have to look for other ways to work to make money so that we don't gamble too often. If they continue gambling, they can become greedy, especially when they win, so they won't think it happened because their luck came.

We should always be careful when playing gambling and not be too eager to win many games. We must prevent greed that can arise when we are gambling. Gambling is not a way to make money but is only a way to enjoy entertainment where we can look for other entertainment that doesn't cost too much money.

We can't avoid blaming ourselves when placing small bet if there's an instance that winning huge amount will be possible. However, if you're greed comes so high most probably regrets comes after if losses tend to occur with highest percentage.
Placing a bet should become a mindset, that you can afford to lose that amount of money in order to keep yourself free from frustrations. Always be satisfied of what decision you've come up with.

The main reason is you want to make money, that's why you feel greedy and want to increase your bet in order to win big amount of money. To get rid from this you must gamble only for fun, this will make you able to control yourself. If you're in a condition lack of financial and want to make more money, you should try to get a side job or learning a new skill first, then you will have nothing to lose to gamble.

Greed is part of human nature especially when money is involved and only few can control it. However, the thought should not only be focused on the winning aspect as the chance of losing is always higher than winning. Imagine losing the bet and the money is gone for ever, you will be glad for making that decision to place a minimum amount. Your mind will be at peace and free from greed when you realize the risk involved in case it turns out bad. It's better to bet little amount and win moderate than to be eager to bet high and end up losing all.

Although, practicing this strategy depends on how you see gambling. If you see gambling as an avenue to make money, you'll always wish to bet higher so you can win high forgetting that the higher you bet, the higher your chance of bankruptcy. Always gamble responsibly.

It's simple, we have to think about what impact we get from not being able to control gambling. The impact is very bad and even affects our innocent families. Instead of that happening, I think it's better to play with reasonable limits, and we have to be able to control that with the best control we can.

Some months ago, I placed a bet, but the potential of winning wasn't enough for me. Then I added one more game and, to cut a long story short, the game was lost with only the last game I added. Secondly, I wanted to bet on a game with N5000 naira but something that had no value came up, then I used half of the money I wanted to use for Staking the bet to purchase something un-meaningful to me. But when I finally bet the game with the remaining balance, the game played, and I won just N9000 naira, so I am angry, but not too angry, because we don't have to blame ourselves for winning big or small, as long as we didn't lose at all.

At that point in time, we realised that sometimes we have to win a little money instead of big, because big winning times bring over excitement and most times, when too excited about our wins, we take gambling as a job that we must do every day.

The answer is obvious, I am trying to avoid going broke that's why I am very careful with gambling, it's not new that gambling can make you lose your mind and get addicted, these type of disease 😷 must not get into my body, I am scared of greed, I know what this can do to a gentle soul, that's if you let it, even if you want to be greedy, gambling isn't the right thing to be greedy about.

Everyone wants to make money, through luck and not their business or hardworking, that scares me, this is why people lose themselves to gambling and turn addicts because they don't want to move on without getting their losses back.

Chasing your losses will just prolong your addiction with gambling and it's possible that you will never get your money back and you will not be able to move on, it's really scary and I don't want to be this friendly with gambling, my money my rules if I am not ready to lose the money, I am not gambling.

A person is not in control of himself when he becomes addicted to gambling. More winning and greed work in their brains so people take decisions in life which cause loss for life due to excess emotions. Awareness is needed to control emotions in some situations you can't control yourself notice them. If you can identify the cause of negative things like anger anger frustration restlessness etc. it will be easy to control emotions and there will be no trouble.

I think it's just a defense for all the mistakes they've made. The fact is it's just a saying and very unlikely to be done by them, they will try again and as we know the percentage of defeat is higher than victory, but their mindset is like turning things around, nothing but that because their hopes are too high there. I agree with you that usually even if they lose they will say "one more try and I will definitely win to restore the previous loss", but the fact that it still happens is like that "losing again".

I think that's the main reason why they've been stuck in that cycle for so long, the casino is just doing what they've always done and the fault lies with the gamblers themselves who, despite losing, always remain curious to try. Cycles like this have no set period of time, if they still carry that mindset then they will be stuck there forever. Yes that's right, this habit is very dangerous and we should do a lot of self-control there, don't hesitate to quit even if you are upset because of losing but it's a better end result than you keep trying it and experiencing more losses, so use your logic.

Definitely if there's a possibility we know how a game will turn out, either a winner or a loss we would place probably a better stake on the bet but for the sake of been on the safe side we mostly tend to place small money to get bigger ones and it could be seen as a way of managing risk, or better still called a risk management strategy to cut down on our losses.

Placing a bet on something you can afford to loose is such a risk that is unhealthy and can cause some one to definitely go in to unhealthy practice after such losses, so it's always responsible to just place bet only on what you can afford to loose so you have less emotions attached and you get the fun and entertainment that come with gambling.

We can manage our greed level by setting a certain amount we aim to achieve with every bet we place and sticking to such limits so we don't get greedy, sometimes it's all good to be very realistic with our bets and aswell position our selves with options that are possible, don't let your hunger for bigger amounts cause you to place bets that are not realistic and you end up loosing instead of winning.

More wins will make them greedier to get more wins and they must not try because losses can come when they decide to continue gambling.
People decide to continue gambling because of excessive greed, so they place big bets and don't know whether they will win or lose.
They feel that they are just placing bets and gambling and leaving the results to chance and if they lose, they will place bets again.
And when they win, instead of choosing to stop, they will continue gambling and often run out of money.
Every gambler should avoid this so that they do not lose a lot of money due to their greed.
We, as gamblers, must be able to control our greed because it can result in losing large amounts of money.

Most common reaction inside gambling, when you supposed to close your session because you already have some wins, then you decided to continue because of greed inside you, thinking that your luck is unstoppable and you already know how to play with the strategy or patterns that you believe will give you more wins.

And once you start experiencing losing streak, that desperation inside you will lead you to keep playing and the next thing you know
everything is already out of hands, and the outcome ain't in your favor and brings stress and regret to yourself.

We all know that greed is one of the feelings that sometimes take over us as players when we are on a good streak. It is not difficult to handle but it must be done quickly because if you give it too much time things can get out of control because you can't. things can always be handled well , I do not advise playing in a casino and drinking alcohol, because that way things are more difficult , it is to play in your right mind, when things are Going on a good Streak that is when greed comes in the most, you can predicting that many are playing in favor of it and it is not the best decision, although it may have good luck in circumstances, it can be said that things when They go in that direction can turn around and go out of order, unless everything goes wrong, so it is not advisable I believe that when you as a player start thinking, you get more money because the more you have and the more you love each other, in this case it doesn't apply, the casinos, the game is not meant to be taken lightly like that, because the money can go away. Very tough, the best thing is to have a lot of restraint when playing, and I think that every time you have the thought of betting much more than before, thinking that you can lose, that it is better to come out positive and not negative.

In the management of funds in our balance there must always be a mental alarm that we should not exceed a certain number or It is to be something profitable in games, not to be so open that greed takes over because I have seen and read here in the forum how greed can make strata in people, even addicts can become, to avoid this type of acts I apply Something, the first thing is that Every time I play and I get a profit, no matter how small, I leave it there, I don't continue playing, because I have learned to see the game as if it were a business, I don't know, but so far it has worked for me , starting from the fact that the casino is a company , we as players must also see ourselves as Companies.

The most important question that you should ask yourself before you go to gamble is: “Why am I coming in?” We need to understand this clearly. The vast majority of users come to relax and have fun after a busy work week. So this is what you need to do, and not break down after another loss and exceed all kinds of limits and try to win back. You need to know that this can happen to absolutely anyone and to you too. You need to be prepared for this. And at the moment when you want to get even, say a firm “NO” to yourself. It is at this moment that everything is decided. Managing your greed is in this moment.

Only ever bet what you are willing to lose. You don't want to lose the shirt off of your back! Go in with a plan and don't stray from that plan, especially when you're gambling. If its a one off and you're absolutely sure then go for it, but don't make that your norm if you can't afford it.

Interesting, what you say in this thread certainly also applies to some gamblers out there or in our community. Regarding greed in gambling, for me this depends on the perspective of the gambler himself. why do I say that, I will take an example, when we have got the highest win you have ever won, your win level will automatically change.
just like we work, at the starting point we only get a standard salary. Gradually as our position increases, our needs also increase according to our lifestyle. Is there a correlation with this, of course yep. as I said at the beginning, when you achieve the highest win you achieve in gambling. Whether you realize it or not, your level of play will change, whether it's the amount you bet or the target you have to achieve.

In most cases, it usually is. at this point, one could say that greed has started to get the best of us as gamblers. However, it all comes back to you and how you respond to it. Usually, you will no longer be interested in betting on small bets, that's why you want to place bets in large amounts. things like that are commonplace. That's a sign that you're not gambling for fun but aiming for a big win. However, there is nothing wrong with that and most importantly, you are ready for all the risks.
On the contrary, the second point you said is highly correlated with the first point you said. because you often or have had big hits, then when you win a small amount you regret why you didn't bet a large amount. For me, overall what you say is a common problem that occurs among gamblers.

Well, it's my turn to tell you how I gamble. Firstly, because I like sports, automatically the bets I often make are on sports. at this point, I usually limit my bankroll to my version of gambling. I bet as usual, if I win I can bet on another match, the bet can be doubled. or, according to the situation and my confidence at that time. in some big matches, like big matches, or the world cup, I can bet large amounts. but with the condition, before that I will set aside a little for betting later. So, if I lose, I will not harm other parties or eliminate our basic needs and obligations. for other types of gambling, for example slot games. I only usually use a small bankroll, play just for fun as entertainment regardless of winning or losing. Well, that's more or less the gambling style that I apply as my personal terms and regulations.

That's actually martingale and you'll not like the result of it because you're going to chase your losses until you win. But as you're seeing yourself going continually with that strategy, it's better to stay with your limits.

If you have a lot of money then means it doesn't matter.

With all of those regrets, that's normal but that's only for a few seconds or minutes then you move ahead again to your next bet. Change your mindset about you should have bet bigger every time you win with small amounts.

Change it to like when you lose and then you bet with small amount and start thinking of what if you have lost with huge amount from that bet?

Aside from motivation of getting wins or money, greed comes with low emotion quotient, in fact gambling attacks your emotion after you lose. Have you ever experienced that you are talking to yourself whenever you lose a bet? Also, I guess greed is made by your instinct to win, it is always that thinking that you need to bet big to win big. But it is normal in gambling, if you're a gambler you know what its like and how it feels, losing after being greedy is pretty much common for all gamblers, because we think that it's all or nothing.

We shouldn't be greedy when we're gambling or we'll regret it, we should have a budget for how much we want to spend for gambling daily and have a limit on how much we can wager on each bet. I place my bet without any regrets, I don't mind if I lost or win but I try not to be tempted to increase my bet just because I feel I'm going to win that particular game. It's always when you feel you'll win that the house wins. Be comfortable with what you win when you bet and move to the next game.

I play sport betting more often and my limit is betting $50 for each game I want to stake on, even for games that one side is more favorites to win and I want to bet against the best team or for the best team, my wager would still be $50, doing this helps me to  not get tempted to increase my wager

People will always blame themselves because they are greedy.
When they win $500, they will think why not place a bigger bet so they can win $1000. Or when they won $1000, they will think they must bet bigger funds to win $2000. Sure, greedy people will never feel satisfied.

Agree. We must put betting with a realistic amount of money, which means the safe money to bet. Betting with excessive amount, probably leads to a huge regret when we fail. Honestly, I usually just bet with small money if I'm not really familiar with the game/match. But when I'm quite familiar with the game and the teams who are playing on the match, I can increase the amount of money to bet.  ;D

The greediness was come to the gamblers due to the continuous loss in the gambling.The gambler can’t control their emotion in the gambling.The gamblers who uses the emotion in the gambling,may use the money which he kept for the other purpose in the gambling.The emotion was even occur in the trading of the gamblers,So avoid of greedy was most important one to the gambler.The continuous game after the continuous loss due to the greedy to get big win may loss the entire money of the gambler into the gambling.

It's not greed but rather you just want to test your luck. There's actually no need to discuss how to manage that.

If you feel that you will really nailed it, don't hesitate and just place your bet.

Good for me to lose as I tried it in the place rather than to feel regret when that bet won.

Getting greedy while gambling is probably the number one reason why people lose way more money than what they had on their budget, as once they get some wins they immediately think about how they could change their life if they could keep those wins coming, so greed causes those gamblers to ignore a very important fact, that sooner or later that good luck will disappear and it will be replaced by bad luck and then the profits they had obtained will go down until they became losses.

Never get into a position where you turn gambling into a career, some people turn Poker game into a career and that's why I don't involve myself in games that are too hooked, where you need to develop the skills of reading the other player and their possible next move, I can do this only if it doesn't involve money but in gambling is not good.

I prefer playing the easiest games that don't require my time and focus, I believe that adding time and focus with gambling is wrong, that should be diverted into something you have going on in real life, businesses, or your goals.

Always remind yourselves that to gamble is to lose, this will make you think about the money you are about to lose, if it's too much or you can't afford to lose the money you will control yourself to take out of the money before making deposit on the casino, gambling is a test of luck, no other explanations makes sense than this.

Your opinion is absolutely spot on. For one to gamble responsibly, he must that narrative that to gamble is to lose the money used in gambling and that will help him to regulate the amount of money he'll use to gamble whenever he's gambling.
Gambling is something that consumes much of a gambler's time hence it's absolutely not good for anyone who's engaged in something that's personal meaningful to gamble frequently. Greed in gambling isn't healthy for anyone as it'll make anyone who's greedy in gambling to end up as a gambling addict

This will be a big problem for those who take up gambling as a career. Although there are some gamblers who have taken up gambling as a profession, not everyone has the opportunity to do so. Uncertainty exists in all types of games so no specific game should be expected to do so. It is best to try to control our self and get only entertainment from gambling. I would say the same to you who gamble must be willing to lose. Every gambler must remember that if the win comes then luck is good otherwise there can be no room for regret. If I am not greedy for gambling money then I will definitely be able to control my gambling activities.

That's why before we gamble, we have to have a budget or know how much money we want to use for gambling. This is called a limit, so we will not violate the limit and try to be careful in placing bets. If they win, there is a possibility that greed will make them place another bet, and that has happened to many people where they end up losing, which may be more than the amount they won previously. And yes, they can place their bet if they think they can win. If not, it's better not to gamble because you might not be prepared for the losses you will receive later. And rather than regretting a small loss or win, it's better not to gamble.

I don't have a fixed amount of money that I use in gambling, I stake based on what I'm good at losing each week, secondly, I stake odds that vary from 3 -to 5 odds, therefore I do stake based on the availability of odds from a choice of games in a given slip,  meaning the lesser the odd the higher the money and the higher the odd the lesser the money, verse versa.  

This is normal in betting there is the tendency to get tempted to increase a wager, of course you have to be sell disciplined to avoid such habit remember there is no sure bet because gambling is a 50:50 chance thus there is a possibility of losing that bet after you might have increase your wager, personally I have a fixed rate for my bet and I only needed to manage my wins and be consistent in winning my bets therefore I don't feel tempted to increase my wager for example even I knew that team A will win team B because they are a very strong team I will sticked with my normal rate of wager, however I add to more games to increase my odd.

Many gamblers become obsessed, especially with games like Poker, which involve skill and strategy. Isn't reading players and forecasting moves intense? Money raises the stakes. I understand your aversion to such games. It's fine to enjoy simpler games. Simplification is charming, right? Relaxed games can be just as fun. Yes, focusing on enterprises or personal goals is a good idea

"Always remind yourselves that to gamble is to lose." It's a tremendous statement. Keep things in perspective with this reminder, almost mantra. Gambling requires luck. Sometimes luck is on your side, but is it reliable? Your viewpoint is appreciated. Many of us need this reminder

Betting random amount suitable for casino games such as dice, roulette, and slots whereas you should be careful with poker games where you have to raise the money and beat the opponents so it's different so the strategy comes into play also should be different on what games you are betting at. Simply if you want to control the greed then just skip the bet and that is the honest way in my opinion.

Controlling the betting amount and staying under our limits will work to some extent but with greed, I don't want to take any risk and I am not going to lose anything if I am not letting the greed take over my common sense.

I just keep my bet fixed since I only play slots, I only bet on minimum $0.10 or $0.20.  I only put a small amount as my bankroll so that I won't be tempted to bet bigger than I planned.


I manage not to regret whenever I hit huge multiplier by not thinking the words "if only I bet higher" since thinking that kind of word can possibly trigger our greed.  Then if we become triggered by greed, we will lose all our sense of limit and bet higher thinking that we can get higher amount.  This kind of thinking is devastating because players end's up losing more when luck don't smile at him.

The easiest way to do this would be to make sure that you are not getting into your savings, if you have some money aside and you are trying to gamble with it then the result will allows be disappointing and you will hate yourself if you lose it all.

The smarter way of doing this would be making sure that you are not spending it all and you are not reaching into that when gambling. Just have some separate amount which you think that is for gambling and to lose. If you agree to lose the money even before you gamble that would not make things harder for you and you should be happy about it. I personally do not imagine it would be too hard, and when the gambling stops and you end up losing it all, you can't possibly be upset, because you knew it even before you started.

I am more conversant with sport betting than anything other game out there, that is the area I mostly indicate interest on the rest mentioned games I do find difficulties or do I say since I don't pay attention to playing games that could be the cause. I can devote time to watch football but can not spend time to play games. Just as I said only gamble with 200 Naira which is about 0.2$ with the current rate of dollar today and maximum of $2 I think with this amount is fair enough to use and gamble.

Agree about thinking to lose but why will we need to think of the enjoyment as well? I think that's contradictory and we can still end up playing that way. We should rather think and/or say that gambling is boring or dull. Like you said, putting a quarter in the arcade game are more enjoyable and it can give us a nostalgia.

I am sure every adult loves that feeling. I'm not only sure if there are still arcade games (cabinet) that we can find in the malls because in our place, it was replaced by rides for the babies and kids to play around. There is still nothing wrong playing gambling for fun or using small amounts only. Losing it won't be a big deal to us.

At the start of your bets, you don't need to think of how positive you are going to win because everyone has been doing that, and yet, you'll never know the results of it. And when you bet, just put whatever is the amount that you can attain to lose and don't have any regrets at all. That's where the bad thoughts come from when you seem to be regretful when you've won because of the small amount that you've won there but the feeling of winning, you're ignoring that part. Do not be greedy and you only need to look at the brighter side, if you win, you win. Then if you lose, you lose and there's no regret whether you win or lose big amount because from the start, you're already aware of what could be the outcome is and you have just that thought of having more but it can't happen the way you expect it to be.

We're into the system to lay our hands on the require profits that are available. One of the most terrifying challenges that gamblers encounter in the system is managing greed. Trust me when I say that not all gamblers can withstand the environment as a whole. You're just saying it to make it easy and pleasurable for others to hear. Greed cannot be completely eradicated from the system, although it can be minimized based on the gambler's mentality. Since greed already exists and tends to target gamblers who are typically and steadily earning respectable sums from the system, it is tough to eradicate.

Having that limit too so I wont be greedy when bad things happen especially your emotion can be tricky too and being greedy is not good at all. Well, if you are going to see a better odds every time you place a bet then it can be good, but then again you have to do your analysis because there are bets that is not worth it and it can be risky as well. If being greedy is your problem, then have your strategy in place and make sure that you will follow it.

Thats whats important on which treating gambling as a form of entertainment rather than making yourself that thinking about making some sure or guaranteed profit or money because once you do have this kind of intent and belief on mind then you would really be that prone into those kind of possible actions that you would really be making due into that kind of belief and this is something that must really be avoided or else then you would really be finding yourself at great trouble which it wont really be just simply affecting only yourself but also affecting into  those people around you specially your family. Managing towards funds is really just that simple if you do really just make yourself that responsible and sensible towards on whats wrong and whats right on which you could be able to make up decisions according into that. Dont make yourself that too shit on making actions which you do know that it could really cause a havoc towards your family finances and this is something not really that
worth on doing so. Play on the amount which you can totally ignore if in case it would be resulting in a loss.

I agree since greed is already available when a person plan to gamble.  The want to increase one money by taking risk of gambling is triggered by a person's greed.  If a person is not greedy then he will just be contented by how much he has in hand.  Gambling his money to get more money is a simple representation of greed at work. To be able to manage greed, we need to limit how much we have to lose trying to win some money and stopping when that limit is reached.


I think even if a person see gambling as an entertainment, it is still fueled by greed since the person aims to win while indulging himself to the entertainment gambling brings.

As a fully aware gambler, i have never regretted the bets i made, the phrase "what if" never crossed my mind, i think that in all the gambling activities we do, we must be in control of it.  

i also wonder whether by regretting it, time will turn back and i would have made a big profit if i had placed more bets at the start!!  

anyway, you can't regret all the decisions you have taken, just believe in yourself and you have played safely.

I have noticed that gamblers usually increasing their wagering amount exceedingly beyond their normal amount on bet predictions that were giving to them by a random person or the so-called VIP gambling groups. What's the inspiration behind that? Is it that as a gambler you don't believe in yourself being capable of predicting games that could have high stakes to play as predicted by you or you just don't believe in your luck shining for you?

Many gamblers have lost big money because they chooses to bind their hopes on predictions that were given to them by others and they ended losing it wholly unexpected of them. If you don't assume you can win all by yourself why gamble at the first instance?

Once greed enters our minds, it is difficult to control it, especially if it is right there in the place where that greed was formed. Although there is a proper process, and that starts with ourselves, of course,

Isn't it usually true in gambling that the root of greed is the desire to have a lot of money? But this is not what an individual gambler should do in reality; instead, the only thing to do as a gambler is to play and enjoy; let the luck come to you spontaneously when you gamble; this way, for sure, even how can you fight greediness from another angle?

This thing called greed is what we all have in our self, there is no one who will say they don’t like go see the amount they win from gambling big we all want that, and those achieve this we need to increase the amount we wager, the only individual difference that we have is that we can control this greed to some certain level base on how we train our self to it’s difficult especially when we have the money at hand, but it can still be controlled.

Greed is one of the things that irreparably destroys people. Those who can't control this greed are slowly falling into destruction, as in my personal example that day I was so greedy to bet on the Brazil vs Venezuela match that I got carried away. When Brazil scored first and still gave 40+ odds for the draw, I couldn't control myself at all and a fear started working in me that Brazil might win the match. When the match was a draw at the last minute, I started to feel bad that why I didn't bet on the draw. From here I understood that greed is a very bad thing that plays an important role in destroying a person.

I agree to that, it's just needed to be a practice in order not to fall in that same situation, better to use the amount of money that you are willing to let go and treat as payment for your entertainment instead of thinking of gambling as source of your income, it's tough or maybe can say that next to impossible that you can make money out from gambling alone.

Either you are an expert or you have good control over your emotions, as even expert sometimes losses their control and forget about their
limits, you need to have that power of will stop when it's needed and not to fall with your emotions to push forward and keep betting.

Greed has been in us since before we started gambling. And when we start gambling, this greed grows and will get bigger when we win money. And if we cannot control ourselves in gambling, greed will take its toll and tell us to continue gambling and say we can win in the next round. But that's not what happens because nothing guarantees that we can win in the next round and that is just a whisper of greed and we have to be able to prevent it so that we don't continue gambling and prefer to stop gambling.

Greed can be very strong, especially in places that feed and encourage it, like gaming. Not surprisingly, the world of internet gambling is set up to take advantage of this feeling. That being said, isnt it interesting how it does that?

Looking at the main reason people gamble, we hit the nail on the head. The alluring possibility of making a lot of money. Nevertheless, this is where the problem lies. Instead of the draw of money, shouldnt the fun of the game be what makes people gamble? As players, shouldnt we be looking for fun in how unpredictable and random the game is, letting luck take its course? can we really disconnect from the temptation of money? There are many layers to this mystery that go deep into our deepest beliefs and the way we live in society.

You know, greed can sometimes be a good motivation in gambling. Because if we are not greedy in the first place, we would not be sacrificing our money just to bet until we hit our desired goals in betting. But that does not mean that it’s okay to be greedy, until you lose all your hard-earned money. Just like you’ve said, greed is already present within ourselves so all we have to do is to welcome it and as much as possible control it as well so we won’t end up losing a lot in gambling because we try to be greedy to win and earn significant amount.

Always know that gambling isn’t the perfect place to earn that’s why we should always control the greed within us and just focus on the fact that gambling is to bring fun and entertainment even if you lose in the end. Once you adopt that mindset, your gambling experience will still be profitable even it means losing at some point, but with an amount that is manageable to lose.

I disagree. Greed is not the reason why gamblers start their gambling, it's all about taking the risk. Greed is different as it is an irrational emotion that drives an individual to rush decision making, the confidence is being boosted to an extent of pushing oneself to get what you desire. This primarily cause for the desire of making money.

People treat gambling as a source of income, thinking that if they won this amount of money or if they at least won like $20-$40/day their life will be better. This is a negative thinking. Everyone should avoid thinking of making an easy money in gambling, this will not show a good result. At least find a good source of income if you want to gamble.

We should always try to be safe from greediness because this alone can be very disasterous to our gambling lifestyle..if we can work on greed, we can be more successful in life not even in gambling alone. Greed had made some persons to lose there jobs, become haters of the people, do irregular things just to satisfy there own self. A greedy man is not always doing things that would profit them alone but the end might be disaster if care is not taken. We need to make sure that we flee from anything that is going to make us to be greed whether in gambling or other things we do.

well, from everything we talk about here it ends with control and it is true that everything about gambling must have very strong control but all of that is not very easy to do as you said, even professional gamblers will still lose to their own emotions and lose their commitment to controlling himself and I think good control must start with a mindset that is afraid of losing more and has respect for money in any amount. In this way, I think it helps a little more to strengthen very good self control because if our minds are always under pressure related to fear, which I said, of course gamblers always gamble carefully and dont even have greed in their minds because they are already controlled by the fear of losing more big.

Anyone should have received a win that day even if the bet was in a small amount, for me that was our luck at that time, there is no regret, let alone blaming yourself for the success of the gambling bet, the point is: no one can guarantee that our bet will win 100%, remember that. the big and small wins we achieve, something lucky.

Indeed, every human being is never satisfied in terms of material things, this is often experienced by gamblers, the thought comes to mind, why don't I bet a large amount? If I bet a large amount, I will definitely get a lot of money, Well, that's the greedy thought that always comes when someone bets and wins, if we try placing a large bet again, I'm sure we'll lose, the dream is gone.

So be grateful for what we got that day, never give in to hallucinations when placing bets/gambling, small and big wins that day, that's the best.

This means that everyone must overcome their greed and not follow their desires in anything, especially gambling, because in this gambling, many people have fallen and lost their valuables. They just want to follow their desires without realizing that what they are doing is wrong, and they don't realize it until everything valuable is gone. In gambling, it is very important to realize that what we have should be able to satisfy us so that we will not chase more. Otherwise, we will lose what we have earned, including the money we prepared for further gambling. If we can follow the existing limits, we will not experience any problems, and we can even use gambling as entertainment.

Betting only what you can afford to lose which should not exceed your initial budget for gambling. A gambler should never go above his budget. It is also important to keep in mind that in order to execute the budget as planned you need to create a strategy in where you put a limit on your betting. Otherwise, if you listen to your mind and do what you feel like would only lead to losing all. Or to a point when you won't have enough money to carry on gambling in the future within the budget.

Maintaining a low budget for each bet and also placing a fixed number of bets is crucial to maintain the budget. If you increase the wager your budget will increase to inverter to maintain proper flow of gambling. If you want to continue gambling in the future you need to take care of that budget and also not to go over then budget in it to maintain how much bed you can place a day.

I believe there is nothing wrong with experimenting with the bet amounts and odds as long as the gambler is enjoying themselves, and that is what it should be all about. One can already not win a lot of money from gambling, it's better if they experiment with their gambling activities, their bets, the odds, and everything, and enjoy the time they are spending in the casino and then come out with a smile on face thinking about how close they got to a certain bet with a high multiplier, that's the actual essence of gambling.

Those who are stuck in the loop of trying to earn some money in every single gambling session and get stressed out as soon as they lose the money can never actually enjoy gambling in the real sense, they are just like people who are doing jobs in offices where they have the same routine every day with no excitement at all.

The truth is that I am surprised by your bet, 'because at least people would bet everything on an unprecedented victory against Venezuela, because personally, everyone said that Basil was even going to win with a very high goal margin, and that was not the case, and of course Truthfully, I was surprised by that result, because Generally when you go to play in Brazil the other teams don't win, it's Brazil, that is, only they win there, and the fact that Venezuela has added points is something historic, I The personal thing gave me a lot of joy because there is a lot of hope that Venezuela will continue to do well and manage to qualify for the World Cup for the first time, so these types of things are what we could normally do, I think that only you and all Venezuelans are the only ones who would have betting on a draw or a win, the truth is I didn't see the possibility that I could have beaten them, but seeing the way they played, I said, this doesn't look like this team, they scored the goal against the Man City goalkeeper, they left an entire stadium silent. where they later Booed Neymar Jr, the truth is that it seemed more like a dream , I Believed that things were not going to happen like that.

I think that things when it comes to the South American qualifiers are actually quite good because it is not known who has supremacy, before it was Argentina and Brazil , now With all this that has been presented I think that this can be reversed and cause any type of incident. of results, the new day will be in November and I think that Venezuela has a very good opportunity there, one of the ones that everyone thought was going to go very badly was against that match with Brazil, but apparently everything went well, we hope Let's see if Venezuela can finally go to its first World Cup , I would really like to see the team there, I'm sure they would go far, because with all the good energy they would be filled with it would be something impressive , so I think things could be very Favorable for them to Occur.

That's right, as long as the gambler comes with the intention of just enjoying themselves then I think they can do all the experiments there to test their luck, but still with a normal budget or with a small amount and the point is that they can be responsible if they end up losing. Basically, if the person comes in just for fun then I don't think a loss would be too much of a headache for them because obviously winning is not the initial goal and it's really just for fun and always nothing more than that. Coming out with a smile is one of the good enough answers for the final session and with that alone I think it is enough to prove that they are fine even if they go home with a loss.

It's because they came with the wrong intentions and obviously they put their hopes in the wrong place too, that's why they never found any enjoyment in gambling. In my opinion this is just a place to have fun, and if you come with intentions that are not in accordance with what has been provided by the casino then obviously losses will always come there, the system has arranged that the actual winnings are only for the casino completely and not for the gamblers, maybe the gamblers are only given a little victory for them to taste and also clearly to lure them to come again tomorrow.

We can be having greed without knowing for a long time because we will only noticed that what we are doing is not yielding the best and expected result for us, greed is sometimes a salient act that we hardly noticed, because it will always push us towards taking risk even when we know that there's nothing to come out from what we are doing, they are mostly accompanied by some attractive earnings in which their risk are more than the benefits they appear to served us.

Yes... The reason that makes gamblers emotional, greedy and angry is because they have spent a lot of money gambling so they feel they are always short even though they have won big that day. They always think they want to return the money spent on gambling so they chase winnings. But I'm pretty sure that won't happen and will add up to more money spent on gambling

I believe that if we always bet with small money then we will not lose a lot of money even if we lose when gambling, and we will not be greedy because we only lose a little money.

Sometimes you may feel you have control enough over all you are doing but wouldn't notice when you are gradually tending towards greed, at times greed feels like aspiring for more harmless or exploring possibilities but little would you know you are been greedy already, you get to realize after a streak of losses then you would say to yourself it would have been a winner if I didn't add an extra game .

Sometimes this greed can be with the amount you stake or sometimes the number of odds you aim at probably because you want to have a big win with little amount and then brag about ho experience or good to can be with your picks, but then if you can gradually accumulate this odds little by little cumulatively you could still get the desired win you wanted.


It's better to get small odds and increase your staking power than getting too many odds and reducing you staking power. You stand more Chance with lower odds and higher staking power than you do with higher odds and lowered staking power, I think that's the best way to deal with greed in gambling and lastly after every win withdraw your funds and take a break don't keep your funds and think you can make it bigger.

Gambling should really be just that for fun and you wont really be finding yourself on getting that problem or on putting yourself on trouble if you are really just that treating up that way but if not then you would definitely be ending up on having some financial problems afterwards. Managing greed wont really be that simple as it sounds since this would really be that pertaining or basing up on someones control and discipline on which we know that not all would really be having that kind of mindset on which some could be able to get out and some wouldnt really be able to do so because of such too much addiction to gambling.
Greed what makes you push up to your limit which goes beyond with those kind of intent and that what makes people do mess up their lives because of such approach. Bet according into your leisure means
so that you wont really be ending up on getting addicted once you do have that kind of intent on making money or income with it then this what makes you desperate which is really that bad.

Any gambling session you would have will really be needing that correponding budget allocation on which this is something that will really be that your limit
and better stick with that and dont go beyond those numbers if you do really have plans on not to wreck yourself with gambling.

It is a monster, greed. And not that enjoyable type. That kind of thing that ambushes you without warning. You believe you are in charge, but then? That's greed got you. Furthermore, once it has you, it's difficult to escape...

Speaking of gambling now. Of course, it's a game, but it's also really important. And you have to play it wisely if you want to win. The game's motto is "small odds, big stakes." It's all about being smart, not about going big or home. Furthermore, being wise implies eschewing greed at all costs

Here's a tiny piece of advice for you: after you win, grab your winnings and run away. Don't hang around, and avoid becoming greedy. Enjoy your earnings and return later. In my opinion, it's the only, wisest, and most sensible course of action. Thus, always remember to play it wisely, abstain from greed, and always, always trust your instincts. You won't be misled by it...

Gambler should be in the right balance state of mind when dealing with gambling, because it would be really bad if we're unable to control ourselves when it comes to gambling activities. Greed is the prime targeted quality to eliminate from the space when it comes to gambling. I've witnessed terrible circumstances we're gamblers steadily place wagers on games because they're keen on earning an extensive amount of profits, not satisable with their current profits, always hunger and desperate to make more, that would definitely lead them to a wrong path.

In fact, when gambling, a person must have a good mindset, because a good mindset will prevent someone from greedy behavior and prevent someone from becoming addicted to gambling.
It is true that if someone is greedy then that person will go back to gambling to get more results, even though it is not certain that if he goes back to gambling he will win, it could be that he will experience continuous losses. and if this is not balanced with good self-control, then the person will experience quite a big loss, because of dissatisfaction within a person, it is true that he will find himself on the wrong path and experience misfortune in his future life.

The thinking about pursuing win needs to be changed because they are in gambling, where the results will not always be what they expect. They also don't need to use a lot of money if they don't want to become emotional, greedy and angry because there are always boundaries that we must not be violated in gambling. And we as gamblers must always realize that we are only gambling to get pleasure and once we have had enough, we must immediately stop. We cannot gamble all day because there is a possibility of experiencing a gambling addiction, so we are the ones who have to limit our gambling.

We also don't mind if we bet on small money because that's the only money we can afford. If we violate it, we may experience greater loss. We can't use a lot of money because our life is not just for gambling, so we must be aware of it.

There are many people who are always ready to win, it is their nature, you cannot change that, everyone who enters a casino enters with the hope of winning, no one enters with the hope of losing, because it is like taking money away. Basically, what you have to understand is that the money you put into a casino is likely to be lost, that's all, so one talks about a budget, or the money you have willing to lose, but not that is going to multiply, you want to multiply it and you will do everything you can within the game in the casino to do it, but if you lose then things cannot be done the way you want, you have to accept reality or the loss and get on with it. set of doing things better in another game session, that is why the game before being taken as income, has to be taken as fun and I add fun for adults, because we have to be responsible with our money because it has psdrreonsa that they risk almost all the money they have and lose it, in this order of ideas is that one can establish what is best for the casino at the moment of playing.

When in a casino we take into consideration two things, first having fun and second earning money, it is something like playing, having fun and winning, that case can happen I don't doubt it, but the reality can be different, play, have fun and lose money , that is why people who are more intelligent and who have a strong financial culture, as well as a high financial education, can determine that they are bold when trying to make a better process within the casino because it is based on the fact that money is everything, a Anyone is considered successful for me in a casino if they win money every six days of play, some say it's impossible, but I don't know. There must be an exception in the world that things when it comes to playing a game in a casino does it and wins, that must exist, there must be people like that.
