Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.

1.I don't really think that setting a budget would stop a gambler to become addicted. Having big wins at the beginning is what makes a gambler get addicted. This has nothing to do with setting a budget and sticking to that budget.
2.The gambling addicts could also take a break from gambling, but that doesn't help them to fight their addiction and re-evaluate their wrong decisions. Most gambling addicts have a lack of self-awareness and simply taking a break won't help in becoming more self-aware.
At the end of the day, there's no "red pill" that would keep the gamblers away from addiction. Everything is about mentality and being aware of your own behavior.
 

I've seen people run out to a pawn shop to sell their watch just to get money for another round because they reached daily limits on their ATM withdrawals. Setting a budget helps only until you get addicted so much that you completely lose control.
All the advice by OP is great and works, but only until you reach a point where you can no longer limit yourself. For instance, a normal gambler casually sits at the table and walks away after an hour or two, can leave the table after a win or a loss and feels fine regardless of the result. A light addict can't stop as long as he has money. When he loses everything is when the fun ends and he keeps thinking about ways to make the money back all the time. A hard addict doesn't leave the casino, he's taken out because he's drunk, out of money, or arguing and starting fights.
I think it's normal on physical casino to have addicts like that. Spending all of their fortunes even if they shouldn't. I've also seen on in a physical casino but the gambling addict that I saw is selling his car to his opponent in a poker match. It's crazy to see one in person really, It's just like a movie scene. I been an addict but I didn't came to that point that I'm selling my belongings to just continue to gamble. This kind of addicts are helpless and needs a huge amount of time to stop their crazy gambling habits. They will realize all their mistakes after they lost everything and will start from scratch.

If you are into gambling and you can control yourself, mate you can achieve anything in this life, the most common problem with gamblers is addiction and it's not easy to control because we all have something we want to achieve.

1. No one knows you better than yourself, if you are the type that finds it very hard to control yourself in gambling you need to stop .

2. Do not try to build something with gambling, do not come up with a thought of buying a car or a house with gambling, once you do, you just got hypnotized into gambling addiction, and you probably won't ever get out of it.

1. No one knows you better than yourself, if you are the type that finds it very hard to control yourself in gambling you need to stop .

Even the gamblers do not know themselves. They lose their self control and ability to think while playing gambling. I do not know why this happens but this is true for many gamblers. When you win big money or lose some big amount, you're totally in control of your emotions.  Sad


2. Do not try to build something with gambling, do not come up with a thought of buying a car or a house with gambling, once you do, you just got hypnotized into gambling addiction, and you probably won't ever get out of it.

Tell me any gamblers who has been able to change their fortune? Who was poor before and due to gambling he has become a millionaire. They may be very few such cases but mostly people lose money in gambling than winning. This is why we can play gambling for fun but don't think that gambling can give you constant income to buy the luxuries of life.

Regrets do always come at the end and there's no way that each person does have the same actions or decisions to be made on the time that they would really be on this condition or situation.

When it comes to spending their money then just let them be, its their money or possession which they are risking into.For us people who do have that proper thinking and aware about things around, then these kind of actions does really indicate that addiction on this time is really on severe manner which they should really be looking or mindful into on stopping it before things becomes even more worst.
Always set out limits when it comes to your finances or on the time that you do gamble. Dont tend to go beyond those limit lines because if you do then this is where problem do starts.

Gambling industry becomes even more bigger and profitable just because there are lots of people who do play and spent out like a mad man on their gambling activity.
This is really that a personal decision on how you would be treating gambling in the first place because not all would really be good on doing so.

This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue
Well, this are really good piece of advice  and one I recommend every gambler to read every days before going into gambling..

And to add, one thing that have really helped me scale as a gambler, is the ability to always consider money set aside for gambling as lost money, though some times, I tell end up making profit through my wins in the gamble, but several other times I lose, it is always easy for me to bear, since I've already considered the money lost before using it to gamble.

Set the limit to the budget. I reckon people should have a budget set for entertainment or money set for expenses you'd use to spend for yourself, take a small amount from that instead of separating it.

It might also be useful to read self-exclusion terms in a casino, maybe try to put it in a easy to access button like bookmarks (or anything if you have something easier and faster).

Lastly, don't be dumb enough to chase for wins/losses. Just take what you can get imo. It's not a job, sure you can feel frustrated if you lose but limit it to that.
Gambling should never be a means to give you a fixed amount of returns, but it’s always just an avenue for fun and pleasure. That is the reason why we don’t have to gamble all our hard-earned money because of the mindset to make it double or triple, spending just a minimal amount to satisfy gambling experience is already enough. But if you see yourself hard to control anymore, then take a break and stop gambling. Gambling should never create a pressure on you, since it’s never designed to be an income provider but just for entertainment purposes only.

It is interesting to read this as I do the same, when I pay for something and I was sure I wanted it I never regret using my money in order to obtain such product or service, why gambling should be any different? I think of the money I use to gamble as the price needed to sustain the hobby, now it is obvious I would like to win and that sometimes I do, but I always have on the back of my mind the thought that such money is lost already, as a way to stop me from ever trying to chase my losses.

Nice guide and most importantly gamble what you can afford to let go, because some gamblers may still have high and unbearable budgets, and it doesn't fall between the category of budget gambling.
We still remember a story of a gambler that staked up to 1.4 million dollars on a bet, so such a situation warrants the gambler to first analyzed what his/her state will be if he loses the bet and what emotional impact that will have on his physical and psychological well-being.

Budgeting should always be the priority and yes live within your means and take only the risk that you can afford. Gambling while you are not in a good condition is not ideal, because you might be tempted to gamble more, and this can result to a more losses. If you are going to casinos, make sure to have limited cash only and avoid getting more funds especially if you are losing, you have to stay responsible and stay focus.

In addition to the list given by @OP, you should also take control of the time.  Gambling is very entertaining activity, it keeps us hook due to the desires of wanting to win but given that, we should always have a check and aware on our time of time and environment.  This way we can't miss any important schedule we have in our daily routine.  It also lessen the chance to get hooked because we are able to tell how long we have been playing and responsible gambling always stop when the time comes that we have the need to do other things.

I think it completely boils down to not being addicted, because anyone who is not addicted will easily have self control, and know when to stop playing when it looks like they are not winning anything, in such a situation, the gambler can still return home with some amount even of money, even though the entire amount was budgeted to gambling.

I use myself as an example, there are times I deposit $50 into casinos to play slot games, but half way into the game, I discover it's not my lucky day, I just quit and withdraw back into my wallet whatever amount that is left off the $50, this is only possible because I am not an addict.

In addition to the list given by @OP, you should also take control of the time.  Gambling is very entertaining activity, it keeps us hook due to the desires of wanting to win but given that, we should always have a check and aware on our time of time and environment.  This way we can't miss any important schedule we have in our daily routine.  It also lessen the chance to get hooked because we are able to tell how long we have been playing and responsible gambling always stop when the time comes that we have the need to do other things.


^ Speaking of the desire we want that you have said I think that is chasing loss if I am not mistaken.
It is easy to get caught up in trying to win back what you have lost, but this can be dangerous. Don't chase your losses and try to make up for them by gambling more. Op was right we should set a time limit for how long you will spend gambling and stick to it. Don't let gambling take up too much of your time, as this can lead to addiction.

I agree, thanks for reminding.
When gambler feels bad after recent losses it is always better to logout then comeback with fresh mind. Otherwise it will be dead city for a long time and it is quiet possible to make wrong betting decisions. Some gamblers don't take gambling as fun but as the way to make passive income but they forget how important it is to remember house edge factor that makes house winner at the end.
This is the problem to many, they are taking gambling seriously as if this can provide stable income to them, and if they become more addicted in gambling, it can result to more losses. I don’t suggest to gamble if you are in the influence of drug or even the alcohol, that can take your emotions on a different level and you might do actions out of your strategy, so if you are not feeling well better to stay at home and don’t go online. Gambling activities will always depend on your strategy, make sure to have this always.

In addy, after gambling to some extent with some reasonable number of wins, do not be greedy. Do not feel you are yet to win more because in the cause of such taught, you might get drawn in the pool of your own taught and likely resulting to you loose out woefully. To some extent after recorded wins take a break from gambling.

One thing that affects me a few times when it comes to gambling is chasing your loses. This has been a problem for me even though I know better not to chase my loses and to gamble what I can afford to lose or spare cash.
Of course the focus at the start is always to gamble on spare cash but before you know it, chasing your lose sets in and then, your already in for the gambling and loses.

This ain't no way to be gamble responsibly and one means to let go is accepting that you've lost and tomorrow is a different day with different opportunities. Give it a break and you would be sure to try again in a different and refined mind frame.

Got even better advice: don't gamble at all. Learn money management, pick 1 popular strategy, spend some time on a demo account, only then switch to real money and whatever happens, just stay on the 1 strategy you learned on.

When we do gamble then heres the keypoints on which we should really be minding or thinking about.

1. Dont chase losses
2. Dont be greedy
3. Dont make yourself believe on getting rich
4. Dont spend the amount which you cant afford to lose
5. Dont go beyond your limits

This is where people do neglect out the basic principle on which it do really causes up for things to be messy just because you do make yourself believe into something which
it cant really be possible or does happen in reality. Gambling is for fun and not a source of income and this should really be put up into your mind.
If you wont really be having that kind of mindset and goes to the opposite one, then you would be creating some huge problem later on.

You gave some good tops, OP. But don't you think that it is easier said than done?
It may work for a new gambler but it will be hard for someone who has gambling problems to control his emotions and follow your advice.
What this type of gamblers really need is supervision. They need a good friend or a carrying relative to remind them when they need to stop and take a break.

Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.
I do that strategy when lag and can't control again the game. I immediately called my best friend, and talk about something else. Fortunately, my friend knows that (I don't have control), and our conversation goes the same way. I do often tell if I am gambling and sometimes need help to refresh the mind, so if not burdensome I need a call every 3 hours, and my friend agree with condition I must invite him dinner and having fun if I won. Sometimes i need my friend to call me (pretend to be important) to leave the table.

Its indeed easier said than done, what makes gambling addiction scary is that you really can't stop, you are always chasing your losses, hoping you win your next bet and recover everything you lost, but as a matter of fact, you are only digging the hole deeper, addicts only stop after losing everything they have, Money, House, Job, Relationships, and sometimes their life.

ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
IS AS IMPORTANT AS ANSWERING THEM.
