• Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money  

I don't do this at all.

It is true that we are gambling for fun but if you just want to have fun and don't earn money at all, you can play online games, if you want to spend your money go out and travel with your friends, eat on restaurants, buy something that will make you happy. I mean, why would you gamble if you don't want to earn money for fun? The fun in gambling is earning money, people will say, but we avoid earning money so we will not be addicted to it. But what is the point of you going there? Just to have fun? If you are having fun, that means you are winning and what are you getting from that wins? Money, right? Get it?

I guess he does not understand the meaning of gambling for fun, or we might have different interpretation on it.
For me, I gamble for fun, meaning I'm not so serious with gambling, I can easily accept if I loss but our main goal in gambling is to win because its where the fun is. Some people can give up easily and not making ways to win, then they are surely wasting money for that, its not gambling anymore.

We gamble to win, that's the rule here.

A common trend I see here in Gambling Discussion are people making threads complaining how they lost money, etc while playing. I bet they were not complaining while they were winning.

There's only on way to prevent gambling going out of hand and it also applies to other areas of life... Create a budget AND stick to it.

Set a monthly limit, a fund for everything entertainment-related. Use that up within a month or not, it gets topped up monthly and that's the only money you can use for gambling.

it's the nature of people - they always complain for losses but never complain while they are winning. but all you need is just to stop at right time.

Another point is that even if people win in gambling, that win is temporary as they invest all the amount again and lose it in the next game. People should know when to play and how to get and withdraw profits. If you do not withdraw your profits and keep on playing, eventually you lose all your money including the profits also.

You can gamble securely online but safely only to some websites which offer you the option to place betting limits and bankroll limits in order to help you not become addicted.I don't know which crypto casino offers this option but from the Fiat ones bet365 is one casino tha offers this to their users.

That’s true though but for me, irrespective of the site I gamble on, I am totally sure of never getting addicted in gambling, this is because I have successfully grown my discipline level to almost the highest peak

Gambling game is quite addictive, no matter the site, anyone can be addictive, and it only takes those whose minds has already been made up to play with wisdom to overcome this addiction that can really eat deep into one. This is the reason why it is good to enter with the right mentality, be determined never to get addicted and like you said, set limit, setting limit helps actually.

I admire your personality. Having nurtured yourself to overcome gambling addiction is a great work and I really commend you. The game is truly addictive; it’s not easy to overcome the urge to stay on it for so long.

I am new to gambling and I try as much as I can to stay far from been addicted. There are times I say no to play and I see myself playing again, I know that it is possible to overcome the urge. What I have learnt from you now is to set my limit before playing and once I see that I have passed the limit, I will just close my game for the day. And I will also see the game as a game of entertainment, at least that way I will know that whatever that is for fun is not meant for one to stay on it all day.

I also follow these rules, if I am in a gambling site and I want to gamble with money. my target is getting a small amount of money so, I can cover the transaction charges so I never think about getting huge wins or making good profits. All my bets are controlled and planned instead of blowing it all at once I break it down to possible outcomes and so I can cover my fees whenever I want. I never think to gamble as my earning source.

[cryptjh]

In gambling and especially in casino gambling it's very important that you control yourself and set a limit for how much you're willing to lose. In sports betting, you will never make 100 bets in less than 10 minutes, but you can easily do hundreds of bets if you use auto betting in a few minutes on casino gambling, this make casino betting more fun and intense and I really like this kind of betting but my bets are so low that I don't worry about any loss.

I have been doing this for years. By making a special budget for gambling, from that moment I did not feel the slightest loss even though I lost in gambling because the budget was indeed provided and prepared to be lost. Then, when I lost the gamble I did not regret it because the lost money did not interfere with other economies.

It only really becomes a problem once it starts taking more and more money that is needed for some other things.

Seems most people would really like to have a limit on the max gambling money, it's just they have a hard time sticking to the budget. I suppose they can minimize the likelihood of dipping into money reserved for something else by immediately making that money unavailable for gambling (auto-deduct payment for utilities, etc).

I remember someone saying "If you are afraid of falling, then don't place yourself in a position where you would fall".

It is all about self-control here in gambling, we never loss a lot of money if we have that attitude. It is pretty obvious that those people who are distinctly on addiction don't have.
We can be in gambling all the time but we should know until when, by knowing our limitations will simply guide us or even help us to not be in addiction. I'm with sports betting and I just gamble when I feel that I have luck or a big chances that my team where I put my money will win.

Then that makes you safe in gambling, of course you don't feel you are lucky every day so you are not a regular gambler.
Gambling less will have less risk, that's the reality and I wish I only gamble less but I really like the feeling in gambling, I just have to stay discipline.
Like you, I also love sports betting or sports gambling.

Maybe what he want to say is The main Objective of playing Gamble is to have Fun and the winning is just a Bonus so whenever theres a losing that happen,the bitterness is lessen and the greedy feeling will not exist at all as this was the main reaon why people who gambles turns addicted or more greedy as time passes by

Gambling held a negative image in front of a lot of people in the world. May it be in real life or crypto casino. It may or may not give you a positive feedback that you are expecting. All thing are good when done moderately and with caution. In gambling, you should always know your limit or when to stop when you already run out of ammo. You should also plan ahead before immersing yourself into it. Gambling is fun not until it consumes you as a whole. You should gamble just for the sake of thrill and fun and not for the sake of winning a lot and taking more than you could really take. You don't want to choke in greediness in the middle of the game right? I, myself, play in a crypto casino. It is fun because I can play inside our house without undergoing the hassle of going out of the house. I can also use bitcoin to my liking. I got bonuses back when I was a newbie up until now. I also got to read some blogs about cryptocurrencies and the likes. I enjoyed playing it up until now because I play moderately and fortunately knows my limit. In playing, you don't have to bet it all as long as you're enjoying to your heart's content.

Honestly we can’t blame those who have a negative perspective of gambling. Gambling has damaged the lives of so many that those who know nothing about the game would just assume that it is destructive. Years before I started gambling, I heard a lot about how terrible the game can be, how it has scattered so many homes and all that.

I am glad I took my time to learn a lot before I started gambling, especially on this forum. I learnt how to play moderately, never to gamble what I cannot afford to lose and reducing the hours I spend on casino games, all this helped me to become a better player and I am confident that I cannot be a victim of addiction.

You make a lot of sense with this post mate. To me I would say that those whom gambling have destroyed should be held responsible for their actions and it shouldn’t be blamed on the game. Its just so unfortunate that the public who has a negative view on gambling, knows nothing about the game.
From your post, just look at how you took your time to learn about the game before starting, this is where so many gamblers fail at the beginning. They will not take out their time to learn. I went through this stage also and I understand perfectly. Learning about gambling gives gamblers a more interesting gambling experience.

I don’t even pay attention to those who cry on how much they lost on gambling, once I see people like that I just know they caused it to themselves. Because I know that gambling sites did not forcefully collect money from any individual.

I dislike it when players are not smart or those who are too greedy in playing games. There is no rule that says if you don’t win in the game today, you can’t win tomorrow, so why play a game like today is the end of it all? Set a limit and if exceeded, quit and come back to play again another day.. Efforts to replay immediately and the intentions to recover loses are always disastrous and it ends leads players to calamity.

[BlueStackz]

The most important thing you should have in gambling game is controlling yourself. Nothing else. By controlling yourself, you will be able to know when it's time to quit, how much money you can use in the bets and else. Controlling yourself will not easy to do because you need to have a strong mind to be able to stop in anytime.

It is greediness that makes many gamblers to actually lose money.  There is always a time to quit and most times that is when the sweetness of making money do push many of us to start over gamble for profits.  Whenever you are over gambling you should be rest assured that you are already on the part of losing heavily.

Not for me now, personally my experience help me a lot not to loss more money, I loss but a small amount of money and I can easily forget it.
What experience told us for most gamblers, is that we learn the ability to minimize our loses, and that's better than expecting to win when we don't have the capacity.

Experience is truly a great teacher. It’s unfortunate that many would never learn. I didn’t even need experience to understand that in gambling, it is good to play with what can easily be forgotten or any amount that I can easily afford to loose.

It was so easy for me to always gamble what I can easily afford to loose because I saw gambling as a game of entertainment. I knew I didn’t have to commit an amount that was too much for me just because I needed fun, and I quit the game as soon as I exceed my limit even though I do not make any profit, I will just be glad I had fun and that is all that matters more to me.

The reason why you have been able to minimize your loses with ease is because you have a good knowledge of gambling and I think that is where many are derailing. It hurts me a lot when I see people who are proud to call gambling their major source of income and am, like Seriously? When did gambling become a corporate organization and who are the management lol.

Gambling has been on for many years, even our fathers played it for fun, it was a good way our fathers of old entertained themselves and as well make little money, it was never meant to make anyone rich overnight, so those who get greedy because they want to make so much money on gambling only end up in frustration.

[OrangeSeller]

You can only gamble sensibly if you have total control over your self. Gambling is fan and addictive. If you do not have the discipline it can drag you down.
For me, I gamble within my limits. I limit not only the amount I can use for bets but also the time I can spend on gambling. I do not spend too much time on it because, for me, it is only a pass time habit. I do it only once a week, not longer than an hour.

if we are able to manage time for gambling, we can avoid being addicted to gambling. most people certainly expect profits in gambling but as much as possible we should not be too greedy to win the game and should be able to only spend a little money in play but can target the victory we expect

Regardless of the gambling addict, playing securely and sensibly is a great strategy for those who want to increase their chances of winning a game. In contrast to it, one may not wind up the game with a success as a result he may lose his own money as well. That is the reason playing with small bets while gambling in a sensible way sounds well for a successful finish. Though, online way of doing it is great but it could be scam as well, that is why I prefer legit sites and natural game.

And the irony is that those who lose  to gambling will never come out to complain because they know that they shot themselves on the leg. Even gambling sites would say never gamble what you cannot afford to lose. But because the players feel they are smarter than the operators of the site, or they have one strategy that can make them win the odds, some would even go ahead to borrow money from their friends with the intention of winning back in double folds.

So when they lose, they just hide their faces in shame and the innocent people who didn’t know that the players did that to themselves would start blaming gambling sites and writing negative reviews about gambling.

Like you, I also love sports betting or sports gambling.

If you have to be disciplined then you must learn how to gamble less. It takes a very disciplined gamer to know when to say No to a game no matter how interesting the game might look. There are times that games can be very interesting and it will look that we are making so much profit, , it’s even during this period that self-control is more required otherwise, one would just be heading straight to becoming addicted.

To gamble less will not only help to reduce risk but would make a gambler more responsible and a gambler can be more disciplined. Even research has shown that it is not too good to spend too much time in gambling as it can lead to addiction.

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.  

Gambling is an interesting activity. Even though it has great risks, it has something that attracts people. But being careful is always mandatory. I just think that those who play for fun will always be happy.

Unfortunately not everyone can be as disciplined. Besides they do kinda hack into our rewards system, they obviously studied it. Plus some people it seems are genetically predisposed to being addicted.

Guess it's still best to gauge yourself first before taking on gambling as a pastime. If you tend to be someone who have a hard time shaking off a habit, maybe gambling is not for you.

Hahaha, I also see plenty of those! "Method to win in [insert gambling game here] at so and so rate". It took an entire team for these guys to beat casinos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOeYw4TFYTA what makes some people they can do it on their own.

Reason why gambling sites that have a lot of funds always win and never lose because players always play there winning even not on the same day that result for them to lose. Only disciplined player can win against a casino.

that is a sign of a good gambler to play again on the next day instead of playing all your profits on the same day that you won because that will only lead to a possible losses   . the reason why gambling sites have alot of funds is because gambling sites must need a huge capital before they start thier business because gambling is a huge industry , there are many gamblers around the world and most of them are also betting huge amount .
