How do you keep your gambling habit under control?

[seoincorporation]

I do have a monthly budget which I set aside for gambling only. If this budget is been exhausted, I don't have a choice than to stop gambling till the next month. This strategy has always put me in check of my gambling activities.

This is a nice recommendation, set a budget for the month for sure is one of the best ways to avoid losing money that you need and only lose money that you can afford to lose. I really like this recommendation.

What I do to control the beast is that I only take a small piece of each payment I get and use that for gambling, I take only between 5% and 10%, and if I lose that I don't feel bad at all. This method works fine for me.

Becoming an addictive gamblers are very easy mostly if we don't have what we are doing. Gambling is very interesting that we why we do see people getting addicted to it because of how interesting it is. I do see gambling like an entertainment that is a good reason why I always make sure I position myself and gamble at a lesser rate.

 I know how disturbing it is sometimes when I am pushed to make bets but I know that is a urge of addiction. If we are addicted to gambling, we should be very careful not to mingle with people or gamblers that will make us have increased urge for gambling.

Well, I set aside a certain amount of money for gambling.

If for some reason I lose my bankroll I stop gambling. I rested for a few days to refresh my mind and started playing in an entirely different way with a different strategy.

Sometimes if I win a big bet, I transfer the winnings from my Hot Wallet to the Vault.
In this way, I prevent myself from overgambling.

Another thing is to avoid gambling when I am under pressure, this way I can avoid any big losses.

Due to the fact that I am not an addicted gambler, I am able to control my gambling behavior quite easily.

I feel like this topic is appearing every month and people are always saying the same thing, the topic gets locked and disappears among other, new ones, and someone comes out asking about it weeks later.

Here's some honorable mentions, maybe this will answer your questions:

No such thing as a strategy but rather just force ourself to become responsible and disciplined at all times. There's no other choice as the one we are handling here in order to control our gambling activity is none other than ourselves.

The emotions and excitement we feel during winning keeps us more motivated to continue gambling since nothing beats the happiness when we are winning especially big. The same goes for losing especially in a losing streak, our adrenaline keeps pumping to play more to chase those losses.

The only time a gambler stops is when there's nothing really left in their balance or out of options to fund their account.

Well said mate. There’s no wrong with gambling as long as we play it more responsibly and with discipline. Because the only reason it becomes uncontrolled to us is that we tend to play because of greed and excitement especially if we are in the verge of winning. Most likely, we will chase more of our luck to attract more profits, and that behavior alone is never good on controlling our gambling habit. The reason why we should never gamble if we are in need of huge amount of money because for sure, we will always take every chances to win, and yet still end up losing them everything.

Seeing how many people who are problem gamblers today did not have the intention of becoming gamblers who lack self control but somehow they are now gamblers who cannot control themselves, It means that everyone is at the danger of become such if it is not put in check.

How do you keep your gambling habit in check such that becoming addicted and out of control is something that never happens?

One way to put our gambling habit under control is when we try not to make gambling our only source of income, but an alternative by which we get a penny sometimes, as that will redirect our attention, hence preventing one from being addicted to the point of going out of hand. Because to be a responsible gambler is a matter of choice and the environment one happens to find himself.

However, some of the ways by which to keep my gambling habit under control, they are;

1. To always keep a specific amount for gambling, by which ones it finish, I automatically stop gambling for that day, or week or month.

2. To have a reason by which you gamble, that is, is it for the fun or for money

I've never had a problem with this so my advice isn't likely to be of much help. When I notice that I spend a lot of time/effort on something (not just gambling), then I make an assessment: how reasonable it is. If this does not benefit me, but rather takes time, effort, emotions, money, then I immediately stop doing it. By the way, in this way I quit playing online chess because they worried me too much 

[Issa56]

Even aside revenge, gambling too much and frequently is another issue, it is one of the ways many gamblers are losing, we should gamble in a quality way, not in a quantity way.

Actually, you are correct; I did not mention that gambling frequently can lead to gambling addiction, the funniest part is that most addicted gamblers do not always believe they are addicted to gambling, when you tell them about their addiction, they always end up saying they know what they are doing and they are gambling just for fun, but they are addicted to gambling. only a few addicted gamblers will agree that they are addicted and will seek help.

I just limit my gambling exposure so I won’t have problems from seeing myself in consistent losses. Through that, I can spend more quality time with my family and be able to make use of my extra money in some useful things and not spending them all in gambling. And I really make sure to spend only small amount of money that I will no longer use and once I lose them all, then it’s time for me to leave the house with no regrets.

Not many have their self-assessment when it comes to gambling.
In my case, to know that I am still in control with my gambling, I always set a max limit that I can use for gambling.
I may go beyond a lil bit from that amount, but if I feel I can't recover my losses, I accept my fate for that session.
So for me, it is acceptance that you lost on a certain period, don't chase anymore if you go beyond your limit,
because you will incur more losses, and it is hard to recover. I just go back when I have my extra funds to play again.

[Doell]

I have tried to set a budget limit sometimes work very well, but at some moment I lost control. If I lose control I'll try to fight with diverting it to another activities, it really helps to control my gambling activity. That's my only strategy which can share, maybe if one day someone experiences something similar to me they can try diverting gambling to other activities.

Gambling is a very tricky act that get the most of anyone if not properly kept in check. Speaking from experience here, addiction in gambling can cause serious damage to ones life but i do feel there is just one strategy into solving this, which i believe is just self discipline because if you are a really discipline human, you have all your gambling activities planned out and this will help you keep your habits in check ,making you not to go all obsessed with your gambling.
  One thing that cause this obssession again is the feeling of wanting to recover your losses which only transpire to more losses.

[Zackgeno96]

Addictions are almost impossible to control, that's what makes it so difficult. And certainly also because when gambling you also develop a feeling of euphoria when you have won a lot of money. Then you live in your own dream world and you are in a daze. How could you unlearn it? The answer is simple, but the implementation and process are very difficult. Only way is to stop. And reducing is not an option either, then you will remain triggered. There are also clinics, but there are many stories of people who then relapse into gambling addiction. And then you start from scratch again.

[|MINER|]

In my case the main reason for my gambling habit is to fulfill my source of entertainment. So just as we keep a certain fund every month for our other daily activities, I also keep a certain fund every month for gambling actually I love to watch sports games and also love to enjoy placing some bets on them. I don't know if it's my addiction but I've had no problem gambling so far with my dedicated fund set aside, although I've had extra fund additions and losses at times.

This is actually a good recommendation if a gambler will stick to it and never follow his urge to gamble more. Setting a budget limit is what I also do, but sometimes it’s hard for me to control myself not to bet anymore especially if I know there is high chances of winning. But nevertheless, my gambling activities are still in control so I don’t have to worry about it as well as with my finances too.

There's no strategy or somewhat that do talks about tips and tricks on how to avoid yourself on such addiction.All you do need is that common sense and awareness on what your actions because this would be

the one would really be saving you up because if you are really that just sensible and having that control then you wont be finding yourself on being addicted into something.Whether we do talk about
gambling or any possible addictive things around.

We are really having that different tolerance when it comes on dealing with things.If you are really that just in good control then i dont see any problems.

[kawetsriyanto]

I always commit to limiting my funds and my time to play gambling. I never break this commitment, I never continue playing when I spend my fund allocation. And I stop gambling when the time for gambling is over. This is an effective way for me to avoid gambling excessively and uncontrollably. I believe the bad habit of gambling is caused by spending money recklessly and having no limit on the time to gamble. I am aware there are many other factors, but money and time are the two big factors.

Perhaps thinking ahead of the consequences when you become addicted so for me,

1. Focus more on your goals in life instead of always thinking of gambling
2. Prioritize
3. Maybe you can go as far as writing down what you want to accomplished.

If you have debts, then write it down and see how you are going to pay for it first. Now, if you think you have done everything and maybe you have some spare per month then maybe you can gamble small amount to enjoy as well.

[QueenVera]

Personally there are several ways one can make their gambling stay in check and one of the major ways to do so is by having a spending budget habit as this one majorly will go a very long way to check all of these things in check.
Most times the quest to desperately make profit at all cost in gambling I guess is the major cause of addictive gambling and  through my little research I've some time now, I've discovered that people who hit some incredible figures in gambling are not really chronic gamblers but rather patient gamblers. People should always try to check their gambling attitude in checks by having
1. Budget for gambling
2. Not chase after losses
3. Staying contented and seeing every win as a win

[Slow death]

I think this is more or less what I said in the last post where I said that people need to manage their bankroll well, it all starts with good bankroll management, if a person defines $10 as money they are willing to risk each week or month, so when that person loses all 10$ that person needs to stay calm and wait for the next week or month to follow to make another deposit of 10$, if that person always do exactly the same thing then that person will be in control of yourself

but when a person does not have good bankroll management, that person will put in 10$, he will lose, then he will put in 20$ and will lose again, then he will put in 30$ and will lose, this cycle will continue until the person goes for bankruptcy, and will be hospitalized for proving that he is addicted to gambling, the biggest problem is that this person also drags his family who will have to pay bills with his treatment that can drag on for years
