Gamble with a controlled mindset

[BIT-BENDER]

Ever had of a story of people who committed suicide or attempted it because they lost funds which is huge to them. Most of the stories are made up but also some a true and real.
I would never tell anyone to stop gambling come to think of it I gamble also myself but I will Ask we should be guided while doing so to avoid unseen calamity.

How can you control your mindset while gambling, this is really not easy I must say you are drawn to playing it over and over again it doesn't matter if you are winning or losing

Set your target~ before a days gambling you should have in mind what you want to win or what you can afford to lose its easier send than done I know but with constant practice you might just develop the mindset.

Get engaged in other things~ other than this helping out it can also fetch you funds that can be used for gambling or any other uses.

Have time to enjoy your winnings~ I don't know if its also happens to anyone, when you you gamble
And you immediately win a sum that was above your expectations if this happens you can try enjoying your winnings and then latter come back

Your mindset can be controlled is only if you put in effort into it.

A story that was told to me second hand, which was absolutely real, was about a certified gambling junkie who liked to bet on everything. His family was constantly pissed at him because he was always gambling away all their money. One time after incurring some massive losses, he got a bookie to accept what he thought was a surefire bet on a high school football game, in order to offset the losses. (I didn't even know you could bet on high school football, but if you know the "right people," I guess...)

His team was winning all the way up until the end. They had the ball late in the 4th quarter, then there was some sort of fumble, the other team's defense got the ball and ran it in for a touchdown. He ended up losing, and killed himself later that night, not wanting to have to tell his family what happened. He was a fully grown man (45-50 years old) who committed suicide over a high school football game!

Don't know what the moral of the story is here other than don't get addicted!

I agree with OP's points and also add the obvious of don't gamble more than you can afford to lose. If you're seriously in the hole, just stay in the hole and live with it. Don't try to double-down and end up digging the hole twice as deep.

i totally agreed on this because it took me years and years before successfully managed to control my desire to continue gambling.

actually its not that simple because there's a need to become addiction first before finally reached the goal.but worth it because at least there is no need to committing suicide just to stop the addiction.

this is a great thread for other gamblers out there that struggling to defeat the lust of gambling each time.if they will only evaluate the meaning of your post.

If we analyze, gambling isn't more harmful financially than watching a movie unless someone do it over limit.

Gambling is not a way to make money. It's short and simple, an entertainment. Just like movies.

Can watching movies pay your bills? Can watching movies make you a living? Can watching movies help you to stand and establish yourself in life?

Absolutely not.

Then, how is gambling causing much more harm than movies do?

Well, for movies, a person doesn't : 1) go out of limit to entertain himself. 2) uses emergency funds or funds which are important to get entertained. 3) doesn't take loans to entertain himself

But, for gambling, a person who's addicted will do all of the above. Causing disastrous problems.

If you consider gambling as a movie and apply the same expense on it, then surely it won't bite you much except for the little expense

Gambling should be a fun game but all the fun are lost when you try to get greedy and coupe more than you bargained for. I would relate the "hole" in question to be the bottom lose one should be able to bear and when it's reached no point giving it a go there are high chances that you lose when you are on tension, your brains seems to be fixed anxiety sets in and you are pushed off balance. You can always call it a day and prepare for another day. In conclusion gamble responsibly

Most of the gamblers are normally not that much mature in their mind as they mostly lose think that they cannot lose. Even i think same that i will win the game but this does not happen always.
A gambler has to make plan and control his game and if he does not do so, he will end up losing in gambling.

No gambler is born to follow these rules from the day first. As it is always that case that Man learn with experience. When you gamble fearlessly and lose, only then we realize what mistake we did. I also learnt from my mistakes in gambling and now i am able to control myself but sometimes i also do mistakes even i have played gambling a lot. Its an always learning experience.

[Obito]

It is quite tough to handle the situation specially when you are in state of straight losing. It takes for about a days, weeks just for the individual to imbibe the clarity of controlling mindset whenever you gamble. In addition, sometimes it is not about learning but to an individual itself who taught and mold by culture of having a good mindset and perspective towards life.

It isn't easy to quit on gambling but if anyone wants to do it they could do it little by little.
If it is already ruining their life then they should just stop and find other activity.
It isn't easy to control yourself when gambling your emotion is your greatest enemy we become greedy when we win and also wants to comeback right after we lose everything to gain it back and this is what we need to control.

[Jating]

I agree that gambling should be fun, but for those who are addicted, it's really hard to control their mindset, although I would admit that I have been an addicted gambler myself, but it didn't crossed my mind to take my life because I lost everything.

I also witnessed crazy stories, friends and some gamblers I know committing suicide. But on the contrary, I know someone, a friend of my father who really live his life through gambling put all his children on good school, so it cut both ways, just saying.

Actually you have the point in which we should build a good mindset and perspective when we are gambling because we should really controll our own mindset in which we should win in the gambling session that we are going. Just like for example we should have a clear mindset in order for us to think properly our strategy and tips in order to win. If we are having a hard time and we are currently in a straight lossing then we must have the proper mindset in which we should know on when we should quit because we should know if our luck are against us.

I guess that I am in complete control of my mindset like I just gamble for fun which is most of the times for free of cost. Before, I work for a gambling house's campaign and the rewards will be credited to my gambling account and I do gamble with that like falsely assuming that I was still gamble for free. That means I am not spending from my hand or from my regular job but that times bitcoin was trading below $1k levels. When bitcoin costs more, I started realizing that I need to save my efforts too.

I mean to say if you are taking time to analyze what you are doing then you may have control on your mind which will eventually save you in all means. When gamblers fail to take time for self-analysis, they are losing their control over their gambling activities and gambling start controlling them.

Your mindset can be controlled is only if you put in effort into it.

When you gamble for fun and you are very strict on that then I guess you will retain your control all the times. I agree mind control will be possible with efforts but gambling-only-for-fun is my simplest way because it requires comparatively less efforts to gain control over my mindset.

[Japinat]

Exactly, it should be our mind that will take care of everything, not our emotion as that would likely lead us to a bad decision making.
Gambling is not only fun but its also risky, and every gambler should understand that risk always exist and without proper self control, our journey might result to addiction.

As for me, I made sure that I enjoy my winning as its a blessing, I mean, we never win all the time but we keep funding our activity, so its just right to enjoy our temporary winning before you will lose that again.

I haven’t heard a story about someone who attempted or commit suicide because they lost funds in gambling but I’ve heard in the past of someone who died because he gambled non-stop in the effort of trying to recover the lost funds. Setting target or goals in gambling is easy but when you are already gambling and you have all the emotions going on then people tend to forget the target they have set before gambling, especially when they are winning, greed tends to overpower the mind of the gambler to the point that it is very difficult to stop anymore. In gambling controlled mindset is very important to avoid unnecessary problems and losses.

[romero121]

Everyone begin with a controlled mindset. Gambler misses control when when there is continued winning streak and all of the sudden loss happens when we go for a higher value betting. Gamblers are used to it, they accept loss as well as wins. The new gamblers are the one who gets a mind of winning big and when he can't move as he has calculated the mind gets into frustration.

With sports betting one can set the limit on spending, because to end a game it takes time and we won't easily go for consecutive betting. When it comes to dice or other forms of casinos people easily spend and if loss happens they easily increase the bet value and go for a high roller. This is the prime reason for big loss and go out of control.

The lucky things, i always have my own midset "Never doing a gamble using your own pocket" most of the money i used only from the payment freelance like Signature Campaign/Bounty. The reason i never using my own money, i don't want to get a crisis financial for my life because doing a gamble went i lose doing a gamble using my money (Payment from freelance) just feel i was really wasting my time.

So I would say your mindset is quite poor because this is in fact, your own money. Store it for a year and than try to waste it in gambling, you will see how hard it will be, just like "using your own pocket". I would advise you to stop lying to yourself. This is the exact reason why people develop problems with gambling. Honesty with thyself is the most important thing.
Fun and profits combined with the honest attitude that is, hard erned money wasting, is the best. Rationalising will only get you in trouble.

A lot of people are suffering because of gambling addiction and it is really difficult to have a good mindset when you are gambling. I am not a chronic gambler, but there are instances, even if I set my own limit and most of the time I know when to stop, I sometimes cannot stop gambling at some point where I lost all my winnings or even lose more money. It really takes a lot of effort to control your self when you are addicted to gambling.

Not just in gamble even in trading, for those who trade and not gamble too much. Controlled mindset is really needed. You must know when to stop and not be greedy when you already won. Some people got problem due to depression or guilt and regret in their decisions. They won already and still decide to continue until it all loss. So better set your focus in everything you do.

[Patatas]

@OP Whatever you said works in theory but not in reality. This is same as asking the drug users to not use drugs or reduce using them or get an alternative drug. The point is if you're addicted you need to seek professional or medical help. The control and play technique will work for someone who tends to control their emotions or greed not for extremists.

Good traders are generally smart and know how to control their money and when to withdraw. Good gamblers are still addicts.
