When betting becomes to high

[Gozie51]

I have one playing a game, it was absorbing plenty of my time and despite me knowing it, I was kind of hooked on it.

You maybe chasing to regain what you have lost. This is what happens when you have lost alot and the game is no longer fun because you are now focused to get your part of money back but something funny can happen that no matter how you chase on that day, you can't get back the lost margin and the best is to work on the habit of addiction so you can have the will to stop when you want to stop.

Have you ever had an experience betting in which you knew that you were going over the limits of you finances and still continued? I have one playing a game, it was absorbing plenty of my time and despite me knowing it, I was kind of hooked on it. It was not a financial problem, but left me wondering how easy is to actually fall into a bad habit and how difficult is to break it.

Yup, i've been there several times before as i've had days where i'm about to end the week with a good profit then the next day all of those profits would suddenly go back to the casino including my bankroll just because i'd lose 5-10+ times in a row. I might've mentioned it on another thread but consistency is really needed and you need some set of rules to follow so you don't go back to those bad habits which could quickly ruin your gambling budget. This thread might provide some help even though the topic is about sports betting, some of the tips can still be applied even if you're playing casino games.

that's what casinos offer gambling lovers. Some gamblers may change games frequently when they feel their luck is running out. but most gamblers have a habit of always playing only 1 or 2 games at the casino. and that is done until the money runs out.
even more, gamblers also feel what the OP feels. because enjoying the game at the casino is fun. That's what makes the gambler lose control of his time and assets.
be careful, this pleasure that is hard to stop can turn into a very harmful addiction.

It seems that most gamblers experience it themselves including, and all I experienced was high curiosity because it looked easy but I kept losing so I kept betting and until I raised the bet and slightly hoped to make up for the loss.
and what I regret after my money runs out is that I use the money I set aside for a month's needs because it happened at the beginning of the month, and after all the money runs out I regret and realize why it can be like that because it usually isn't like that. And in my opinion, although we can control ourselves in gambling and be responsible, and can also control our emotions and so on, and it is undeniable that there are times like that, surely we will experience them.

Points to stop when you have to stop, this is not easy to do when we want our lost money, getting back with some win. The pressure to win leads us to make an additional deposit, no matter the results will be lose or win. If we win, we will probably be able to stop. However, when we are lose, most will stop when the money runs out. Worst of all, some people when they run out are still continue to play, not stopping, by borrowing money which in the end adds to the problems in their lives. In my opinion, the most appropriate is to teach ourself to play a maximum of 1x in 1 week. It is the safest and limits the money that will be spent on gambling i read this suggestions many times here. So, If we lose, it's over. This will teach our brain not to get addicted. I was in the position the OP before. My bad gambling habbit makes me trapped to addicted, lucky for me i have a lot of friends here and remind me to playing safe.

Actually I have not been addicted to any bad drug till date.But a few days ago I bet several dollars on a site But the team I supported there could not win.They were a good team but ended up drawing a game against a bad team which again wiped out all the money.Now I regret that and learned my biggest lesson from there, I never gambled again.Actually gambling is a very serious addiction.This addiction leads people to destruction.

This has not happened to me for the reason that I perfectly understand the danger of such a development of events, therefore I insure myself in this way: play money (which I can afford to lose) is in a separate account. If I lose them, I don't play anymore. An easy way but it works great.

Gambling addiction is a hot topic right now. Many people from different countries are experiencing great difficulties because of this. Everyone wants to earn money in a short way and therefore they can make wrong decisions.
You must get rid of this addiction. It will not be easy to achieve this, but with new hobbies, your mind should turn to other activities

Congratulations for not chasing losses. Although you lost, you didn't keep playing in an desperate attempt to recover your money and that is always the right approach. It means you aren't an addicted or aren't developing a gambling addiction. If every players had this same conscience you had there wouldn't be problem gamblers, so everyone would be playing responsively, practicing the activity regularly, but not prejudicing themselves financially, rather just having entertainment and enjoying their time.

What you are describing is known as " Addiction", Addiction is something that happens as easily for gambling as easily it does for Tobacco as well, have you seen people with vapes? It's essential to treat it medically since at the end of the day it can be considered a disease, you can also have doctors who specialises in this particular field or what you can do is to request your doctor to go through the recent advancements in the field as well therefore they are able to treat you better, some people are naturally more inclined towards getting addictied as well, read about it more, accept and get treated for it.

I did but I think I can count how many times I did it, may it offline or online gambling, not of a casual gambler so it's manageable. The thing with addiction is that it's easy to be part of it but whenever you want to get out, there are plenty of hindrances and urge to continue, sounds ironic but as human we like the things that pleasurable even we knew it will be hard for ourselves or those around us. Gambling can hurt our financial capacity, health, family and many more.

Ended up on the same situation as well before and the worst is, I was forced to borrow money because I can't stop playing and having that bet.
Well, this is bad if left uncontrolled but it's pretty normal in gambling, that's why we have to set a limit always and commit on that. Being responsible is not easy but we should practice this all the time to avoid any financial problem and gambling addiction.

I have also had the same experience but not really in gambling, but in my investment. Sadly it still didn’t work in the end. I guess once you know it’s beyond your control already, most likely it will end badly. Particularly in gambling, you will definitely fall on gambling addiction if you always tolerate betting more than the amount you can afford to lose, and in the end you will have financial breakdown which I think would lead to ruining our own future.

This is the sort of dangerous state that can lead you down some very dark paths when it comes to gambling. The sort of decisions that might have a huge upside but in reality the risk is probably stacked against you and can leave you in a dangerous position whether you win or lose. If you lose, you might be drawn back into gambling in a very weak attempt to scrape back some meagre winnings which don't compare to the money you put up. Some people also get attracted to the pain of losing, as weird as it sounds. If you win, you create a different type of buzz which is releasing all those happy endorphins and will encourage you to repeat that behavior in order to chase that high.

Addiction is just the force backing it up, nothing more, you discover in this kind of encounters, loosing is never a thing of concern anymore, bit the good news is that there are means or ways in which one can deal with such addiction, which is in gradual reduction of the given attention to it and finding something else worth deserving your attention as a substitute for the addiction, then little by little things begin to work out with time that you discover things you do before you no longer have interest over such addiction.

I have experienced this kind of thing.  Gambling is very engaging, we cannot notice the time when we got hooked on it.  We thought that it was just a minute when we started the gambling session but it has been really running for hours.  The thought of just another one and maybe it hits a good tumble or scatters is always there every time we said this will be the last spin.  We can often see this on the gambling streams when streamers make a normal spin.  They keep on saying that it would be the last spin but they keep on spinning.

With that(getting hooked), we failed to notice our bankroll getting depleted entirely thus we unnoticedly spends an amount way higher than our supposed to be limit.

[Hispo]

No, I believe that has never happened to me. I have managed to keep a quite good self-control when comes to both drinking and gambling.
The one similar scenario I can think of it is when I was having a bad streak on the slots, losing all the satoshis I earned on the Freebitcoin faucet, in that occasion I realized I was getting more reckless the more satoshis I ended up losing to my bad luck, I set very high multiplier in an all-or-nothing spree.

Some months later I went through a similar situation playing slots on a different platform (I think it was called coinpot, or something like it) I was losing spin after spin and during my last chances to recover I went all or nothing.

Of course, in both occasions I lost those satoshis.  

[acroman08]

I think the majority of us have experienced this. this used to be a problem for me in the past where I'd try and win back my losses but it never end well(or at least for the majority of it). anyway, I've learned from it and am now strictly following the rules I've laid for my self so I wouldn't have to experience that problem again.

What do you mean by self-control? of the two scenarios that you do when playing slots, does it not include failed self-control. you keep on slotting and keep on losing streak. so you don't know where to stop. so there is no gap for you to pause. and you do a high multiplier, that also includes the greed you do. you also even repeat that mistake again.
The real self-control, of course, is that you have to take care of your finances, avoid doubling that is too high and set a loss limit so you can stop for a moment and think that you keep losing.

^ How many times have we discussed here that we should have self-discipline, and self-control and should not extend beyond the limit or an amount that we can afford? Though you are not experiencing financial problems today, when it comes worst, you will become at that stage even how millionaire you are. That is a road to addiction that makes your life ruined if you cannot control everything. I think you are not alone here, we have here many gamblers also experienced this but fortunately, I do not belong to them, probably because when I was here in the forum I am not fully oriented on possible negative consequences that may happen.

When emotion of being boosted up
When emotion of being too greedy
When emotion of chasing up losses

If ever these things would really be experienced and even your mind telling you that you are going beyond your limits
and you decided to ignore and tolerate it then you would definitely be doing those actions since you do know that you do still have
money despite on going into your limit.It wont be that a problem as long you dont make yourself put into financial problems
or simply keeps on doing that.
