I have thought of an interesting concept which can help you out to control your gambling losses and most importantly to secure your winnings in a more sensible manner. As poker player (with decent tournament record), crypto trader and occasional dice and slot gambler for almost 5 years I can assure you that single most important thing which can help you out in the long run is bankroll management. Although BRM is a combination of different skills but keeping your calm during loses by quitting for sometime is most important skill to master as it gives you time to reflect upon what you are doing wrong which led you to become more mature player. It is easy to loose your mind and play outside of your bank roll in the heat of the moment. To prevent this up to some extent I propose a limited gambling escrow fund held by prestigious members of this wonderful forum. How this will work ? So suppose you have won a big tourney in poker or concluded a big profit trade, or accidentally (I use this word knowingly) won jackpot in slots/dice. Now what you need to do is to transfer your majority of winnings to the escrow immediately (and keep your self your normal playing bankroll). Now the escrow will have to release a certain amount of fund from your deposit to you on weekly or monthly bases. This will help you to remain under your bank roll greatly because after you loose your normal bankroll you have to wait for your next payment which will take some days. By doing this you have more time to introspect which is always good. I urge learned members of this wonderful forum to ponder upon this and give some suggestions to improve this.

This is the list of escrows you can trust here in the forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276897.0So suppose you have won a big tourney in poker or concluded a big profit trade, or accidentally (I use this word knowingly) won jackpot in slots/dice.

Well, that's supposed to be a good concept knowingly what other gambler's reason for losing was relating to bankroll but that depends as well on the behavior of the gambler towards gambling. How about not using an escrow here but a challenge for yourself that you have to manage your bankroll, a self bankroll management? I think that will greatly enhance your self-discipline behavior towards gambling because you're not using here some middlemen.

Personally, I don't have an escrow agent to help me to manage the money that I used to gamble because so far, I can handle myself without any problem. I can stop playing gambling whenever I want because I know that in gambling, the emotion will take part, including greediness, because of winning the games. But maybe that can help other members who need help from the escrow agent or members who use too big money to gamble. Make sure you can select the recommended escrow agent to handle your money.

This just shows that you have good self control and that you are not addicted to gambling. I'm in the similar situation so I don't need someone who will tell me how much I can spend. Unfortunately, some gamblers have serious issues with that and can't recgonize the signs that they might be in financial troubles because of excesive gambling. In that situation escrow agent might help.

i dont think he is looking for the escrow on this forum but he is refering to the on site escrow inside the gambling site that he is playing with . most escrows here are not even into gambling and i feel its a hassel to hire an escrow here while you play on a different platform . why cant you just have that all in one place . this is risky imo because they can ran away with our money . i dont need it because i can just gave away my winnings to my wife which is more trustable and also works fine because he can control me if i cant control my self

But I am not sure if people will be interested in providing their funds to escrow to control their own willingness to gamble. Only a mature gambler would do this and when I say mature, it means the gambler has acquired the emotional control on his own gambling habits. An impulsive gambler wouldn't dare to loose control on his own funds ever. You can connect with reputable members to provide such escrow service and do a test run to check the ground reality. Then only you will get an idea on bow things will work on large scale!

I think it's not really interesting for most gamblers because we as gambler, before we enter here we already know the risk and we are matured enough to manage the risk. Discipline is a must for gamblers, but maybe this kind of service could be helpful for few but for some they wouldn't really adopt with this kind of idea.
I've known a gambling site where you can limit your loses but what you are talking here is just my first time to know it.

For other gamblers, it would be a great idea to prevent themselves from spending too much money on gambling. But if a gambler is seriously addicted to gambling, I don't think he will be able to think of doing this because he won't bother to think of managing his funds already. However, if a person is willing to change his vices, this could help.
In my case, I don't really need the escrow because I'm not really spending a lot of money in gambling. I still know how to limit and control my gambling desire. Discipline starts with ourselves as a gambler since we know the possible consequences of gambling.

I can't imagine giving up my money to someone so that person could ration it for me in order to control how fast I lose my money to gambling. I know it is hard for some people but If I were that person I would seek help to stop my bad gambling habits.

I think if you really want to manage your bankroll on the long term you will have to do it by yourself without locking funds on sites and other things like that. Why? Because an addictive player will always lool to gamble or bet more. If his money is stuck somewhere, in our case, into an escrow he will borrow money from friends and pay them back when funds are released. Then again he will have no money available and fall into a bad habit of borrowing money over and over again.
Also, lots of websites this days have settings where you can set limits. But that doesn't help because there will always be a new website where you can deposit and gamble.

Whoops!! looks like you didn't read entirely or DIDN'T to say the least what's written on the OP. Let me quote it for you. To prevent this up to some extent I propose a limited gambling escrow fund held by prestigious members of this wonderful forum.
Escrows here may not into gambling but if their service is used I think they'll do it. I don't think the list of escrows on that thread will ruin their reputation and if I were the up into the challenge I'd hire the trusted and active user. Well, yeah as I propose it's better if we are the one who'll control our urges to gamble rather some intermediaries who meddle on our way to discipline ourselves. They might do the trick but I guess it's not for long.

Actually I don't think this idea will be very effective on limiting ourselves from overspending because I doubt that anyone will handover all the winnings from jackpot or whatever to others and ask them to send the money back on monthly or short time frames.If we really want to limit ourselves then we need to do it on our own and as far as I remember there are sites which lest you to lock the funds temporarily and also there are ideas available to lock your funds inside your wallet itself.

The problem with some of us is that we are so obsess in thinking that " I might win this time", I've noticed it on myself so I guess it is also happening to some of you guys, this is where I knew that I am lacking of something and that is the self discipline. This is all we need to cope up with everything especially when we are gambling every day, we'll definitely need some discipline in order to keep up. just a realtalk. But maybe that can help other members who need help from the escrow agent or members who use too big money to gamble. Make sure you can select the recommended escrow agent to handle your money.
This is why we have this section and healthy discussions, let the give and take works around us. Not against to escrow agents tho.

I like the strategy that you have shared and this is good for those gamblers that can't handle their finances themselves. Those gamblers that can't control themselves anymore and the escrow will be playing an important role in that.
If you think that you need an escrow to release your funds on a weekly or monthly basis and he's going to serve as your budget holder, do it if that's what makes you think will help you improve your spending habits and controllability.

I have that experience before lol. I admitted that it is very hard to stop that mind sound in my head. But gladly, now I can hold myself when I win the money. Self-discipline will also be needed in any situation, whether we win or lose so that we can prevent it from the loss itself. As long as we can have discipline, we don't need the escrow to handle our money because we can take responsibility for our money.

It's a good idea we have this thinking when gambling that we must strike when the iron is hot or another could be another lucky day and escrow is a good idea to control your urge to pour everything , because we always want revenge every time we suffer losses, another preferable option is a friend you can trust who is not a gambler, and who will not give in easily.

You already mentioned the reason why this escrow thing won't be effective in the long-run.
Once a gambler experienced winning big, you won't take that feeling away from him for a lifetime. Meaning, a gambler will always come back to somehow take chances again on that pot. Once that funds that supposed to be used only in gambling depleted, the chance of wrecking the terms with the said escrow is always possible.
It's better for me to just allow the gambler to control the funds on their own. In that way, they can test how disciplined they are in managing their bankroll and winnings.

I agree there's always some escrows willing to do it as long as certain conditions are met and I remember seeing a few gamblers do it before but it's scary if they suddenly became inactive. One solid alternative to limited escrows would be using timelock to force your Bitcoins to confirm at a specific time and once it's done there's no turning back.

Involving a third-party for one's problems regarding bankroll management and self-control isn't really good. Also, even if one platform limit your max bet for a single day (which I think most platforms would gladly ignore to implement), the gambler could just hop from one platform to another, effectively evading betting restrictions on one platform and just proceeding to bet on another. There isn't a third-party solution to self-control, unless the said third-party is allowed to do anything to prevent the person in question from doing different actions to gamble.
