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

[ReiMomo]

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?

i don't need to restrain myself from gambling because i know my limit,i can also carry myself to refuse any form of greediness and lust to win big or lose big.

before gambling i condition my mind to not look for big winnings instead just enjoy the game and dont let gambling eats me

having those?i am free from those bad effect mentioned

This should be the mindset of all gamblers, you can carry your self and manage it well from gambling and of course know the limit that you have. It is very simple that gamblers restrain their selves because of the greediness and lack of control over their selves. Anyway, looks like all replies that I read in previous replies was all saying it is because of greediness which is too obvious. Just enjoy and don't chase money in gambling.

First of all they need to be happy if they lost small amount while doing this because most people's greediness and chasing habit will let them to go hard as much as they can until they lose everything.Yes it is going to be harder if we lose our money but realizing that it is not new or not only happening with you will ease the thing and the right thing to do is stop gambling when the lost amount is small.

I believe that every gambler has his own reasons to gamble.  Someone is trying to earn money and it is very rarely possible to do it, while someone has a sports interest.  But there are people who experience special pleasure from gambling, while there is a high probability that in this case, gambling is practically addictive and comparable to a disease.  And if such a person experiences problems and loss of funds, then he himself will never find the strength to confront himself.

I sincerely agree that gambling can be very addictive but gladly, over 80% of gamblers are not suffering from addiction because they understand the concept of clarity of purpose. If you understand the reason to which you are gambling then I do not see any bone of contention.

The idea is to know the right point necessary to put a stop to a game. It's as simple as that.  Those gambling for money also understand when to pause their game and same goes to those playing for fun. The people who find it difficult to quit are confused set of people in my opinion and I believe they need a better understanding of gambling.

I think that when we lose a small amount we don’t care much and we don’t restrain ourselves from continuing to play.A good thing to do to restrain yourself from not playing again is to place the sport bets you will play and then go out with friends or family and do not think about betting anymore for the day until you see the results,this is what I do.It works so far for me in sports.I don’t know about roulette and slots.

Going with friends or families won't help much expecially if they are players/gamblers too.
They might motivate you to play more and disregard the loss as being small. Thus, convincing you that the next play will bring big wining. Before you know it, you have played more than you expected to put in.

That is why we need to control ourselves from those who ask us to play more. If we cannot control ourselves, we will use our time to play gambling longer than we can think, and we will spend more money to gamble. If we are going to gambling places with our friends, we need to tell them that we are not going to spend too much time and money in the gambling place because we care about ourselves. We should remind our friends too, so they don't have to spend more money, and we can prevent big losses.

actually we all have different views when it comes gamblers. And for me i understand why some of them didn't make a rest to stop playing. because in my view for them time is the most important and that how they set their limits, wherein because of being busy also in another work thats why they keep forcing to play just to regain losses or to obtain profits in small of time.  .in fact that's what I'm  doing also when i have a vacant time. Lol  Wherein just to make more profits and etc.  I don't mind what will happen. but it doesn't mean i have no limitations because it all set.  And my vacant time is one of my limit when it comes gamble. .

it could also be caused because it has become a daily hobby, right? it might be a good thing for them to fill free time, especially if it is a gamble that is concerned with sports. it can stimulate adrenaline and be an interesting spectacle. Some people might continue to do it because they want to cover up their losses, but things like that are really hard to stop, especially if you have enough free time.

What I doing sometime is playing with my wife,we go to casino together or even online gambling so she will be telling me if the amount spent is enough .
And also if we are in winning,she will ask me to go home and stop playing so we saved the money and not letting lose everytime .i don’t know if someone’s doing the same but for me?its my way of saving myself from becoming greed

No doubt a wife could be your best partner to gamble in casino she will always give you good suggestion as she asks you to stop gambling at earning huge it helps you a lot to save money as those who become greedy to earn more actually lose their whole money that's why we should gamble but with care and at single miner lose don't play again to recover your lost.

There are several betting strategies out there but I think what you need to focus on is setting the "budget" you'd be using for your gambling spree. Nothing to large whose loss would impact the rest of your living budget. From there you can decide how to bet, whether you keep raising whenever you win, etc.

The most difficult thing is to fight yourself and control yourself, you are hard on yourself and consistency must be applied seriously so that when playing gambling can minimize bad habits in betting and do not let you become a gambling addict because it will bring your destruction. . .
You have to intend to play gambling just to have fun and occupy yourself with positive things so that it doesn't get swept away by gambling that makes you want to play again and that's because you feel curious that makes you want to come back again and want to try to win it and that's what I experienced .

[iamsheikhadil]

The only way to do is have as much as you can afford to lose at a time in the gambling balance. If you are going to have a gambling session and doesn't want to lose more than say 200k Satoshi, then keep exactly that amount in your gambling balance. Keeping more than what you desire will lead to imbalance and will force you to bet more to recover the lost amount.

You may keep your attitude at its original form until you face losses. I mean to say you can be positive and you may continue your gambling for the reason of finding fun out of your gambling but when you face losses your emotions will come into play and it will start occupying all your positive energy which makes you to start thinking about how to recover your losses so that you will go for whatever possible ways at the moment to recover your losses.

I'm just speaking out of my own experience, I always failing to control myself not to spend money into gambling for the reason of recovering my early losses. If I would have thought about loss is the loss and I should accept that loss then I would not have gone for spending my hard earned money.

Completely stopping will depend on how you do look out towards gambling,majority would had that main motive which on making money thats why losing either big or small doesnt matter or wouldnt be cared at all until you blown up your entire capital and thats the time you do completely stop for that day but if you do already have other funds then you would surely comeback on another day.

Well, in short. You should manage your self not to belong on that scenario, because restraining your self is just like having self-discipline. When you are saying your self "stop", you should stop and think about the possible consequences. If you can't restrain yourself then, you are probably become addicted and going to become poor. Indeed, gambling sites are now are very hard to defeat their house edge.

I wouldn't say it's very hard to defeat their house edge, in fact I would rather say it's pretty easy. You just need to withdraw your initial investment once you made some profits. This way you're only gambling your gains and you can't lose anything at the end of the day, hence the house edge had been defeated.

It is not because of greed but rather the lack of discipline of a person.  Every one of us have greed on its own level.  Whether we let it to take over our minds depends on our capability to control ourselves.  And controlling oneself is not that easy especially when we are not accustomed to it.

Kinda true. But discipline can only grow with experience not by being forceful. Since, gambling is sometimes rewarding, there are other emotions at play like fear of missing out on winnings. Hence, many can't leave it unless they experience much losses from gambling.

I guess this thing will be done by someone who just new to gambling, for those who have a long time to spend their money into gambling will never do that. They are tend to save their money first and come tomorrow when they find a much lose. Because they will know, gambling is not about strategy thing but for almost 50% it is depend on luck, so just thinking when we don't have 50% lucky when play gambling it will be worst IMO.

Different with someone who just new into gambling, they won't know how to spend their money well or even they will depend on their lust to play it. Just a few people who can think they should be come again tomorrow or at least he has to stop the gambling for a while to make his brain get a comfortable thinking. I guess it will be like that, I just revealed from my perspective and me, I'm not a gambling addict because I'll play it if I have money only.

Fighting oneself is the hardest job in the world. Because we know our weaknesses but not how to tackle it. Greed is an inherent quality but yeah, one should analyse his condition about how a bet might affect him financially. For new gamblers it will be tough to learn but with experience these habits gets embedded into us.

It is not because of greed but rather the lack of discipline of a person.

I'm thinking the same. OP, that's what you have to practice and be discplined when you gamble. Set an amount that you are okay to gamble with until you lose everything during that day.

And when you have lost all of it, put it on your mind that you won't gamble anymore within that day because you have reached your threshold as you lose but if you can maintain that within the day, continue and enjoy it.

It's very hard. I have tried to put such limits on myself like to block casinos and apps to gamble. But later found ways and loop holes to gamble. I think it's just close to impossible to sit at rest after a losing streak specially when we still have balance to gamble and reach our imaginary "recovery".

It seldom happens because the excitement is still there, you don't have funds but your mind just want to continue,  this is something that can be considered a trap, if you cannot tame it, you will just end adding more, a gambler should have a cooling period after the high emotion of losing and winning.
