How to control greed on gambling?

[michkima]

As i know gambling is all about luck and how to control my greed, except sportbetting (of course need skill and strategy).
Gambling adiction is csused of lack of self control when this things happen you will start to ruin your life or even losing your everything your money and your family, before this things happen you should imposed self discipline and self control.
I have experience in gambling (casino), somtime i hit big only with faucet or free money and i can withdraw from that. but because my greed i always want more and more, then i'll come again with my money as bankroll. Bet more and hope win more, but because of that i'll lose my money little by little and usually i'll stop after my bankroll to be "0". I call that with greed.
Anyone here have any suggestion to control my greed? Let me know.

We all know that once we get addicted in gambling it's really difficult to control greed and addiction. You really need to be disciplined if you want to control your hunger for gambling. You need to understand that when you gamble, the chance of losing is higher than winning.

You didn't post anything, you just quoted someone and that was it.

Anyway, about what s0beit said, I would agree that it is hard to get a control over greed and addiction. That's the number of enemy of a gambler. It is when he still tries to double his winnings and still keeps on going, without thinking that it could possible be lost in the roll. I would say that most gamblers are cocky and as a result they lose what they already earned.

This is the most difficult thing for any gamble to control the greed in gambling. Moreover, this greed increases if you win and then begin to lose continuously. There is seriously no remedy to such greed except to just keep a set amount of money or time to be devoted to gambling. Don't ever try to increase this time frame or this monetary frame. You will find yourself much better after some time.

Gambling directly leads to greed. It is always the case. But you can do it for fun or with control. If you are playing for fun then allocate a small budget for your gambling. Its just like going on a travel. If you are a frequent traveller you make some budgets and keep moving. Same here, allocate some budget with a plan and enter into gambling.

Do not get addicted. Greed is one thing, addiction is another. Greed can be reasoned out, addiction is by habit, reasoning will not work much. So make a budget, put it for the day's gamble. If you earn more then it is good. Keep your profits aside and gamble again with the principle. If you lose then do not gamble. Wait for the next session as per your budget allocation. Your gambling will be disciplined.

You must be careful not to get into the most common trap of looking at your money in the bank especially if you are rich or if you have surplus. This will become dangerous. You may slowly erode all the money you have. So allocate space for gambling and stick to the rule. All the great falls and people who have ruined themselves have been victims of addiction. Not getting addicted is self control. It is essential to show caution and responsibility.

Gambling is definitely a dangerous issue that some people don't take seriously until they get damaged , you probably won't be able to at this point , what you can do is to stop gambling and avoid it as much as possible.
There was a thread before : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1080319.0 and you may want to read it to get an idea about how greedy people are and get some ideas about people mistakes and how to avoid them.

Definetely, one needs to control the uncontrolled urge of gambling. This not just makes you waste allot of money but also time and productive thinking.
I agree with you for people to stop gambling alltogether. That being said, many people still do gambling just for the sake of fun and recreational activity which is still fine if done in limit.

It gets serious when people dont stop even when they are heavily losing. They get addicted in gambling and turn there saving into mere loss. Controlling gambling, or rather heavy gambling, is in ones own hand. They should know what they want out of their life. Just fun or some actuall money.

Dont be greedy on gambling is the key to play it.

That's easy to say than done. There are a lot of gamblers out there who really are struggling with this type of sickness as we called greed. In gambling, Greed is not that easy to control nor stop as It's already part of the human nature but it can be prevented from the very beginning. Setting a limit could be a short time solution for an addicted gambler which tends to break his own limit. As I can see it's either you enroll yourself in a rehabilitation program to help you with it or personally learn to accept a loss.

Gambling can bring people great wealth in just a few seconds. But, for the vast majority, it’s a losing proposition. A win becomes an adrenaline rush, they want more and more and greed takes over.  Before they know what’s happened, they have lost everything trying to win back the money they once had.

You have to keep in mind that being greedy will make you poor. You don't actually need to enroll yourself in a rehabilitation program. All you need to do is to be contented on your winnings. The only way to control your greed is to learn how to be contented.

People who usually use this sentence are those people basically who have never achieved any target they have set for them. Such people are totally capable of nothing and they have surrendered over the difficulties of life. These people are not a man of great courage or will as we human beings, can do all the things we want to do in our lives and these are just our believes which we keep and same happens in our lives.

It is really hard to wake up and quit from gambling as you think you are in the moment of winning, it is hard to realize something that "enough is enough" when you are in that moment the sad thing about it is when you are in that zone the chances of you losing is getting bigger. For me one good practice to stop being greedy is to become satisfied with what you want or the other method is to set up a target, by doing so you will be stopping after you achieve your projected win.

Right. As far as my experience can relate, I've been in that 'moment' countless times and no matter how hard you try to tell yourself that you quit, it's simply not so simple to do.

By countless experiences on those times for sure there would really be a day which we can able to control on our desired profits later on.It wont really be an easy thing because our greed will really push us on our limits on playing gambling which would tend to destroy on the plans that we made earlier this is why experience and knowledge will be the thing that would really help you to develop self control.

Bring only a specific amount of money every time you go gambling. No matter how easy it is today that you can control your impulse, it's going to be a battle once you're experiencing it first hand.

That is correct, because gamblers without limits are those that are easily lured by their impulse to gamble more  for either profits or win back what has been lost, so i agree with you that taking a specific amount you can afford to loose to a gambling house is a better way of stopping impulsive gambling.

And much better if you'll also gamble with a very small amount of your money. Every time you gamble make sure that you will not break your own rule by not surpassing or adding some more amount whenever you lose.

Being greedy is one of the bad traits that a man must be controlled. It is also one of main reason for downfalls of many well-known leaders. Suffering a lost in your gambling might caused by your greediness of winning more games and getting more money. Don't let gambling control you. Gamble casually and bet only in little amount.

[ClumsySmile45]

I think to control greed in gambling is to set a small amount of wins and not to be persuaded to win big stakes. I think greediness is what's making players lost a big money in gambling.

Better to make assessment because even you use small amount but if you keep coming back greediness will start to chase you thinking that small amount is enough and okay to lose, each time you gamble you will keep trying to recover your loses and you will become greedy every time you play.

I think the solution would be to stop gambling, or not to gamble. LOL Greediness is what drives people go to gambling, they think they will earn a lot by gambling only realizing that in the end they lose a big amount rather win some.

It does stack up.. quickly. It is a bad circle that can be really hard to get out of and as you say, small amounts over and over and you can really get greedy and extremely addicted. Granted, it is better if you bet small amounts with set limitations rather than going all in and betting big over and over .

I do know people that they can control their greed on gambling and success with gambling too but make that come true isn't a easy thing .

That should be in our mentality, if we lose in small amount how much more if we put a bigger amount of money, limitations should be implemented and we should wise and not being emotional as all our plans on how to gamble effectively won't work without the will to execute it.
