Gambling securely and sensibly online

[Supercrypt]

Greed has a major part of affecting those who enter gambling with a right mindset, except it is well controlled. some players claim they are playing for fun and when they make a little win, they become so excited and start playing more because they intend to win more and with time they would forget all the set rules and regulations of the game. Anyone who is does  not have self control will have problems with gambling, better to work on this.

Gambling is a game of fun and whatever fun that is done without control can also lead to addiction, so it is possible to play for fun with all set rules and still end up addicted if not controlled. For me I play for fun and I set limit when playing and irrespective of how the game might unfold, I don’t exceed my limit.

Yes, there was a point I was really having fun gambling, and sincerely I had the game in mind as a game for entertainment and I think luck was greatly on my side, I realized I was always winning and instead of keeping it, that was when greed stepped in, I started to increase the bets because I needed to make more and with time all what I had won was lost and I kept on playing because I want to recover again, and I realized the losses where compiling.

I thank God for the intervention of friends who called my attention to it that I was gradually on the way to addition,  that was when I stepped down. I think greed is really bad for gambling

Oh wow, that's a positive and interesting point turn of events to what could have easily gone the other way as well.  With the right support system, some do get the chance to step back and change course.  Recently here in the U.K, there is talk of changes to the laws on fixed-odds betting.  Which is like a massive problem here and in other countries i imagine.  Funny enough, not everyone is happy with the change in law whereby maximum stake on fixed odd betting terminals is now £2.  Apparently those terminals generate over £400 million in taxes alone  for the government.

I would say that the easiest way to keep tabs and control on gambling is kick starting the game with the right motive which was what the op has mentioned as number one. See gambling as a game of fun and not a source of income. I think this first idea help make setting limits and staying by it so easy.

Gambling is fun, once you win, celebrate it and avoid the mistake of playing again to win more and once a loss is made, let go and don’t  have the mind of a comeback to recover, this is what causes people to become addicted gamblers. And its necessary to have self control because the game can be so interesting and at the same time addictive, so it takes self-control to set rules and abide by the rules.

For most people (myself included), gambling at online casino's is a harmless pass time fun activity, but of course it can become a problem for many.   IMO, to lessen the risk of becoming a problem gambler, there are certain things i bear in mind such as,

• Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money  
• Setting myself a gambling goal
• I Bet small  (don't blow all your money at once)
• I practice gambling with friends  
• Set time limits and walk away  

Many of these are easier said than done of course but it might be worth noting.   Online gambling is probably the best thing to happen since sliced bread   and i'm not saying these points could or would work for everyone but they might help in enjoying gambling in a healthy, financially sensible way.

I'm interested to know how you keep tabs and control on your gambling to make sure that one does not become a compulsive gambler or problem gambler.  

I am not a frequent gambler. Usually when we talk about being secure is be secured from getting hacked. I read your points and it reminded me of my first play with bustadice. Though i was loosing a little while learning , I boldly took a step forward betting with more bucks carefully ad earned

In my opinion to the best way I keep tabs and ensure I do not end up an addicted gambler because I understand the addictive side of the game is to enter with a positive mindset, which I do by following the first rule of playing the game for entertainment. It makes me see whatever cash I need to put into the game as a bill for my gate pass to play, so once its expired I am out for the day. No hard feelings and no intention to replay.

Also on my lucky days, I simply smile, keep my money and I would still quit when necessary and see take whatever I got as benefit. I try to overrule the thought of playing again for more wins after a win is made or going to recover money when I lose, that is not the mindset of one playing for entertainment.

[fullhdpixel]

At least you are sure that whatever you won for the day is safe and whatever that is lost is gone and  you will at least not loose any further. But by thinking of playing further, you are not even guaranteed to win again. I am not greedy, I set my limit for each game, although it can be tempting to have a replay when there is winning but that is where self control and discipline now comes to play. It is very important to have self control and it is self control that will help to say No when it looks like Yes is needed. Self discipline is very important for those who set limit in gambling. Those who do not have self control will definitely disobey because of the urge to always replay.

The OP is right about the things you need to keep yourself be reminded of.
But you will just realize these things on your own if at some point in your life, you lost significantly in gambling.
And that would be a good lesson for you to stop chasing big things you want in gambling.
And just stick to the basics, use gambling for your entertainment purposes only and not a money-making machine.

Gambling has more side effect when an individual deviate from the true meaning of gambling. And the true meaning of gambling is; gambling securely and sensibly to avoid the spirit of depression.

I set my own rules and limitations when gambling.

*I always remind my self not to be greedy and never be careless, especially when I am winning.
*I keep my self aware whenever I feel I am being greedy, when I notice signs that I am being greedy, I pass a bet and smoke for a while to cool down .

 *Never to chase my losses, this sometimes leads me to even more losses.

*Know your limitations, and when to quit. I know  that whenever I am lucky it doesn't last for a whole day. So, just a few sequence of losses, I quit and take away  what I can.

I have a lot more, I hope this can help other gamblers in setting their own rule and to lessen greed when gambling.

The part where "I practice gambling with friends" is the one that I don't follow, the rest I follow like my house rules. If I play with my friends, then I already blow my security as I don't let other people know that I gamble. this is the reason why I chose online gambling than traditional gambling, so that others will not judge you and criticize you on your way of spending your time and money.

Your advices might be very helpful particularly to newbies in gambling. For me, once you go into gambling it is very important to evaluate yourself first if you are ready to make some losses in gambling. Because if not, don't bother to gamble anymore. Gambling might be profitable as your kind of entertainment but once you expect an income from it, then it might only give you trouble in the end.

Could you be more specific on the results of practicing gambling with friends? I have been thinking it would only create more bad to our gambling activity. For me, I play with only my expandable income. The one I set aside for entertainments. If I am experiencing consecutive loses then I will walk away. This helps me to avoid rage betting.

In my opinion I think gambling with friends can be more fun and entertaining and it can help a player control a player from getting addicted since friends always get each other’s back.

It reminds me of onetime I went gambling with my friends and it was such an interesting game, I kept on increasing and double betting uncontrollably until a friend of mine quickly called my attention out. He saved me that day from not spending all the money I had and that would have really been painful because I lost.

This is what i'm also doing.I just set an amount for gambling and if i lose them totally,then i just go home and relax.Same with times that i win a decent amount of profit,i also went home immediately because for sure if i gamble again,it will just go back to the casino's owner as expected.

Some people are having problems relaxing though when they see their money end up in losses. Rage betting is a reaction to being frustrated with the results of your gambling decision. That's the problem with gambling, take it seriously and all your reason and senses goes out the window.

This is the most important part,

Set time limits and walk away

Whether you win or loss in the game, it's important to set some limit, that will help you enjoy your winning or minimize your loses.
Discipline is needed to be able to do this effectively.

Before now I was always gambling for fun and it was really interesting. I never had intention to make money but I loved to win, I enjoyed the game that way until my eyes got opened to the money making side of gambling.

A friend told me I could also make money and have fun at the same time, and then I was taught on setting limits to playing.

Hence, what I usually do was to set limits, and when I exceed I just walk out of the game for another day.
For now I think this is a great method to play, am still having fun and not making much loses, and even when I lose, I don’t see it as a big deal. What matters is the excitement I get from the game.
