How to restrain yourself at a small loss and not spend money.

[iamsheikhadil]

A small loss would be money spare and only that.   If you lose profits then that also is a fair gamble, the worst loss and not acceptable as a choice is gambling money that is not spare or available to risk as a loss.
    Thats how to keep losses spare, only gamble the money you are not using.   The biggest danger is on pay day from bad budgeting of money, I would advise only forwarding a small amount from wages to the gamble account.   If you use a set amount each week, even when you may not gamble that week you are giving yourself a set allocation to get lucky or not.   When the gamble account is no longer funded then you leave the tables, since you are never manually funding the account there is no choice to mistake how much you might pay in.    

 Basic advice would be then, separate the time you gamble from the setup of your gamble money.   If you budget everything together then it would be weighed against the worth of money needed for food, energy, clothes, travel and so on.   You are not as likely to spend too much when being sensible in allocation, do not gamble at the same time as deciding this fixed amount to pay to transfer every week.   When you gamble, never pay in at that time and if the account has no money you must wait for the next week when its funded automatically.

Lol, I have tried these methods and they kinda fail when I'm like too tempted to make a bet. For me, bank fixed deposits work fine. One can set up auto debit from bank for bills so they will not be even able to touch those funds for gambling before they are debited for good reasons. Also saving money in fixed deposit works as it won't let you withdraw money you save.

I came here hoping for a good article, but instead I see it's just a low effort thread.... too bad!

Therefore... my also loweffort two cents are these... The only thing you can do to stop at low loss is unplug the internet or have someone else to it for you.

I had a good idea to make this article good, but I don't have much time so I'm not achieving, I'm very sorry.

besides, I don't think it will help shutting down the internet, it will simply find a way to play more, stronger measures must be taken, primarily on a psychic basis.

This may work, for some time

But it doesn't solve the main issue, i.e. someone being reckless with their money. Yes, we can take money from children, and they won't be able to spend it on something stupid. But we expect them to grow up in due course and be responsible for their actions on their own. In this way, setting up obstacles that would prevent you from reckless spending is more like fighting with symptoms rather than the disease itself (read, you will lose this fight in the end)

It often happens that people go out to play a variety of games of chance with a certain amount of money, but in the end they spend everything if they are gone. How to prevent which technique you base yourself on to spend no further. It's hard to just give up, people persistent in gambling that day, so they can't just tell themselves they'll try tomorrow. Why is this difficult? Is it because of greed?

Obviously it's because of greed. Human nature is based positive attitude and we always think it's our day. When we are earning light profits we try to go full repeatedly thinking that it's our day and then end up losing everything. Similarly if we face one or two losses we still remain optimistic. I think best is to merely go out with less money. Don't keep a lot of money in your gambling account. Whenever you win something try to withdraw it as soon as possible. This is the trick to restrain yourself.

Along with greed, what is important is that one should know that no matter how much they win, they will not be happy. And even if they lose, they will continue to live life. So it's not like without that profit they want, they won't survive! That's a way I suppress my temptations to bet more.

I very much agree with this.

Putting up obstacles might not help you instantly to fully restrain yourself in gambling but the more time you spend in something else, i.e. doing another hobby, you will realize that you don't need that obstacle anymore, instead you're going to free yourself on using that because you've found the thing that would benefit you in the long run, which you thought that was gambling, but sadly not.

There is this saying goes "Don't make a promise when you are happy and don't decide when you're mad or sad", meaning you don't have to shut yourself on a single thing, sometimes you opened the wrong door and forget to open the right one.

But here's the catch. Time makes people mature.

If we take money away from kids so that they won't spend $1000 on a toy car, they may whine a bit. Let's say I won't give him that much money for the next 10 years, after that, if I give him $1000, would he spend the same amount on a toy car?

Time is flowing all the time. So the habit would never be constant, it will fade.

If we lock ourselves from gambling, we are not treating the gambling problem which you are correct at, but at the same time, I'm not gambling for a long time (even if that's forcefully) and it will instill a habit in me for not to gamble and after months, I just won't gamble and I don't even have to force myself to.

Definitely that's because of greed and also trying to cut back their losses. I have also lost many a times whole of my bankroll just trying to earn few cents over a dollar and lost all the bankroll chasing that bad decision. What I try to do is I decide the amount that I am gonna risk right before starting the session and if I lose then I just go out or do something else,but never chase that loss.

Definitely it's a good decision, just use the amount that you just can afford to lose then after that just stop, I know it is hard to apply but once that we have discipline by playing gambling with that kind of strategy then we can lessen our loses, and at the same time high chance of winning because we can have some amount for another day to use to play again and try our luck for next time we play.

But that will be still difficult to hope to get the win because nobody will know if they can win or not. We might expect to win, but the results still hard to predict as, in gambling, we could only enjoy the game than to think about winning. But at least, I agree with your saying that we can have lessened our loses on that day and we still have the money to be played the next day.

Maybe people who use this strategy are not much because once we are playing gambling, we can forget everything, including how much money we should use. We only stop playing gambling when our money is gone, but we will come back on the other day.

It's in fact mostly because they win. When you lose each time, you'll give up because you never win anything. You'll think it's just a losing game and move on. But when you win small gains from time to time, you'll go on.

That’s the attitude of a occasional gamblers to let go when they lose and realize that there is something wrong and this will save them from losing more.

But things changes if we are talking about regular gamblers and those addicted because for sure the more they lose is the more eagerness of winning and won’t stop until losing everything

This is the sad reality of gambling and the only chance to remain safe?be responsible gambler and always look for way out and not to get in

Yes, I agree because once they become addicted to gambling, they can't stop it even the consequence is losing everything. But that's in the side of an addicted gambler, but if you are not addicted to gambling and just trying to have some fun, try to have some budget that you afford it to lose because if you want to earn/ have some profit, it's precarious.

Exactly if you lose small so you will hope to win next but we will have to control this greed of hoping to earn even more. A person when gamble he wants to earn more and more he will be excited what can happen next so great will never finish but it’s important to control your emotions and your greed if you want to earn from gambling.

But does it really?

As I'm inclined to think, typically people don't change much after they are adults, which is somewhere in their late 20's or early 30's. Time changes people but not necessarily for the better. When you are set in your ways, they are kinda set in stone. Otherwise, drug addiction could be easily cured by simple abstinence, but it doesn't work that way. If you are an addict (alcohol, drugs, gambles, whatever), it is more often than not for life. You can stand back but you may relapse into your addiction at any time, which basically means your addiction didn't go anywhere and is still with you

You already answered that is because of greed. I once had this desire, I really wanted to have all the money on the table and beat others but I didn't realize that that desire was destroying me.

I often go home with no money, I really really want to have all my opponent's money, as time went by I was able to control myself because there was one event that required me to change my vices.

there are not many ways to not lose money on gambling, controlling emotion sometimes just buying time to not lose at one time, but at least it's good to get luck in another day. management is certainly very important not to lose a lot of money and of course, that's about greed.

First and foremost, before you can understand why some people end up losing or spending all their money gambling, you should know that there are different types of gamblers. We have people who don't really mind risking some amount of money without and others who can also risk all their money on gambling.  And the nature of people who gamble is greed.  Greed is what makes it difficult for people to avoid losing all their gambling capital at that particular moment.  In addition to this, personal control is the only way someone can actually stop him/herself from losing all his/her money used for gambling.

   If a person lose his money at first try so it means thae he need to take break and think about to recover lose but keep one thing in mind this try should only be to recover your lose not to become greedy player who want to make money only. As much as possible gamblers should enjoy gambling than putting stress of winning on their mind and lose the remaining money as well so just control before its too late.

There is a question why they are soo much in greed? Why they can't control themselves? And you're right, we can't point out clearly what makes them be like that until such time that they'll talk to you. We are living with greed for sure but we'd try also to manage it and place in the proper way which I believe this was the hardest part of our life.

Losing is already a part of our life in gambling, and not even to mention that those successful gamblers for how many times they'd lose before they got there. But they never give up and lost their patience cause controlling our emotions is can't be instant, it needs practice.

if you loss on first try then why try again on the second try ? if not then try again on the third try  . if you still not hit it , that is the time to take a break to unwind but not to think about your losses   .  its hard to not get greedy while you are trying to get back what you loss  . if your unlucky  , you will end up lossing more . 

[Eclipse26]

If your first purpose was to have fun, then stick to it. It's only a bonus if you win money. But if you loses continuously, then stop already. It's to prevent yourself from losing more. The thing is when you keep on losing, you tend to get irritated and it affects your emotion. So the best thing here is to stop. Stop gambling for a while and let yourself to cool down to avoid losing more
