Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting

[Fredomago]

The above issues are really important for a gambler. Those who are gambling they certainly facing such situations. It is very important to determine the gambling budget, otherwise it will not take long for a gambler to lose all the money. If the gambler is addicted to any other addiction, it can have a bigger negative impact on the gambling. Continuous gambling is more likely to lose there, So it is best to gambling with a break and walking around with friends for a while. Which will help to keep a gambler normal in gambling.

Budgeting in gambling is very important, because it serves as an alarm for us to stop when we lose from gambling, limiting the budget for each gamble that I also do, for example every day I have to spend $ 10 or $ 20 to play all gambling games, of course, with small bets because I only a small gambler who expects the game to have fun, because if I'm too serious about getting money it will make me curious when I lose.

I agree with you that limiting the gambling budget can really help to prevent gamblers from becoming addicts and I'm sure that's a way that can be done for novice gamblers as well as old gamblers. no one can stop us when we go too far except ourselves.

There have been many examples when a gambler has no limits when playing gambling to become bankrupt, and that is a lesson for us to always remember that we must apply good management of our finances while playing. I am also a bit of a gambler in that I only play with money that I am prepared to lose. I'm thankful I can suppress my urges when I want to gamble but I don't have extra money to play with. The reason is if I force myself to play it will disrupt my financial flow in the end. So I do my best to control myself when I don't have money to play with.

The very beauty of knowing your limitations and understand the risk when playing, if you can prevent urging yourself to keep depositing for more after you lose your initial capital the chance of getting addicted and losing a lot will not happen, you'll not go to suffer with any addictions that can really hurt your finances if being dominated by lust of continuing to play.

There are many gamblers who at the end regrets with how they act while they are still playing, unknowingly they are already suffering from hard addictions.

It's a matter of self-will to quit away and to clean the messed that they've done during the addictions.

It's good if we know that gambling is just fun and we don't have to pursue that pleasure to the point of spending a lot of money. And when we realize that we are only playing with money, we are ready to lose and will not chase to win because we know it is not easy to get. And I agree that we must have good self-control to avoid being tempted by the many casino games. We must limit ourselves to gambling so that we are not affected by gambling where we can experience gambling addiction.

I totally agree with what you said that gambling is just fun that should be done without spending too much money and avoiding chasing defeats.
Actually it's quite easy to gamble responsibly, but people think too much of gambling as a place to multiply money and always expect to win.
Even though this gambling is like a game where there are always wins and loses without having to win continuously, gamblers ignore this problem.

That's what I really have to pay attention to until now, even though we know sometimes things like this can't always be done all the time but of course in cases like this we also can't make it seem like we're stuck forever.
Even though there are indeed a number of conditions and we occasionally cross these limits, we must be aware that it is not always like that and that must be felt because we cannot be that perfect for gambling cases and we certainly occasionally violate the boundaries of what we do, but of course that is not a reason to keep doing it and precisely with things like this we are still continuing and continuing to improve ourselves.

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

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.

It's good to set a budget for gambling but most importantly setting the budget isn't much of a big deal but rather it's keeping to it is what greatly matters. And this is where discipline sets in. Many gamblers have had a laid down budget for themselves but  ended up exceeding their budget as they got carried away with the fun and enthusiasm at that moment of gambling. So additionally when we set up a budget we should also do well do inbibe core discipline in keeping to it immediately our budget is exhausted that should be the end of our gambling for that day, week or month depending on how you decide to set yours.

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?

Good advices, i would like to add some:

When you are losing money, comfort yourself. Don't try to act tough because it really hurts and you need to be aware of what you are feeling and take care of yourself.
By comforting i mean doing something just for you. What ever that is or how silly it is, it doesn't matter as long it brings you comfort and joy.

Have other things in life that bring you joy and excitement, so you don't automatically get every rush from gambling. But have something else to look forward to.
There are cheap or even free activities to fill your time from climbing to gaming with your pc.

If you want you can set days when you don't gamble and try to fill those with activities that are enjoyable and productive. Productive because they bring self-esteem and that's a good balance when you had a losing streak.

Will the gambler ever accept the fact that gambling is for fun, I don't think the number of gamblers that have that line of thought is much and we must know how to set the priorities right and by doing so we must learn how to control the phr emotion and never to go above our boundaries.

Setting a timer could help, but having self-control helps more since that will have psychological effects on your mindset other than a timer.

Well, many gamblers are playing not to have fun but their goal is to win huge. They think it's easy to win in gambling and they can become rich in snap. If you're a kind of gambler with such mindset, it's likely that you have a gambling problem since your main desire is to win and not to entertain yourself.

If you win in gambling it can bring satisfaction and you'll be motivated to keep on playing. However, isn't it good to gamble just to have fun and you're not expecting anything? That way, if ever you win or lose, you're not so affected since that's not the main reason why you're playing.

If you are really starting to get addicted, timers can help, but without self-control, it is still a problem as you continue to gamble, and that is really a huge problem as it is difficult to practice it. That is why others tend to find some hobby as well as keep themselves busy so that they don't have free time and can't think to gamble. But again, if the person has already gotten addicted, there is no way that you can stop him unless you seek professional help to make the gambler go to rehab.

In addition to the above, I can advise:
1. Set limits. In pursuit of big winnings, even if you are playing with small amounts, you may not notice how you lose all your money. Setting a limit can help you control your budget and prevent you from ending up with nothing in the end. For example, your monthly limit could be 5% of your salary, so if you lose, you will still retain 95% of your salary due to the limit.
2. If you learn to follow 1st rule, it can have a positive impact on your discipline. Discipline is another way to maintain control. Discipline yourself not to live solely for the sake of the casino or sports betting. Allocate time to all areas of life for balance.
3. Point 2 leads to the third one: take breaks. Don't forget to dedicate time to work, hobbies, and spending time with family and friends.
4. Avoid chasing big winnings and trying to "get rich quick" through gambling. If you incur losses during gambling, don't try to recover them by making impulsive bets or playing longer. This can lead to further losses and exacerbate the problem.
5. Pay attention to your emotions during gameplay or betting. If you find yourself experiencing excessive stress, disappointment, or obsession, take a step back and reassess your involvement. Impulsive bets can result in significant losses. Perhaps in a different mood, you wouldn't take such risks.
6. However, if you still feel that your addiction is progressing and becoming problematic, be sure to seek support from friends, family, and professionals.

I agree to manage time and keep myself busy so that don't have thoughts of gambling and can forget about gambling in order to prevent over-addiction.
But to find a professional and go to rehab I'm not sure I can succeed because so far there is no rehabilitation for a gambling addict moreover it all depends on one's own will if an addict really intends to stop he can forget about gambling and never come back but if a gambler has the desire to quit gambling but his heart and mind are still heavy to leave gambling so it is difficult for someone to recover from gambling addiction.
So far, there is no effective way to overcome gambling addiction except on your own volition.

This can be spotted when you finish your balance allocated for gambling and you continue to play saying to yourself that this is the last spin and you continue there until you lose all the balance.When this happens once I can understand the rage of the moment but if this is done continuously it means you have gone to far and the best first thing to do is to acknowledge this and ask for help.If anyone fails to do this and continue in his addiction things will precipitate real fast for him and life will look like the worst thing in the world,we should avoid this scenario at all cost and ask for help from friends and relatives first to take us to a rehab center,no other way around this.

Being a considerable gambler, once you detect any abnormalities in your gambling experience, the first thing to do is to pause and fix yourself right, there are many ways to go over addiction and other unethical behavioral attitudes one might had developed through gambling and some are:

1. Change your environment if it's a gambling enabling environment
2. Avoid friends who are addicted to gambling and adds no other benefits to your life
3. Read books on maintaining an addicted lifestyle and how to change as a person
4. Engage doing something every day to keep you busy and avoid any unimportant relationships.

[Desmong]

There are people that would not mind exploring the gambling interface to get what they want. If we think that we are going too far in gambling which had been affecting us and the way to make betting, it will be good for us to amend our ways and try as much as possible to limit the way we make betting to prevent the advert effects in the later time.

This is more than precise and I couldn't agree more. Priming your environment and choosing the right people around you is crucial to the process of becoming the person you wanted to be. Reading books and putting on a lifestyle or habit that will keep you busy will also be helpful because most of the time, people are just too bored of their own life that the best thing they can do is to waste it. What a shame. I would add, maybe you can find someone who can make yourself accountable. So during the process that you lose yourself again, you have someone who can help you get back on the right track.

Make no mistake, even a gambler who doesn't have the desire to stop gambling if his family cares and takes him to a psychologist, I'm sure he will get well soon and have the desire to stop gambling.
If understood in real terms, it turns out that gambling addiction is very dangerous and can damage a person's future if he is unable to control himself to stop gambling.
So before addiction becomes a threat to us it would be better to always be consistent and think that gambling is not a place to double money.
Because if you are already a gambling addict, it will be difficult to stop and you are not even aware that you are a gambling addict and it will be very difficult if you do not have self-awareness to stop avoiding gambling.

Actually it's quite easy to gamble responsibly, but people think too much of gambling as a place to multiply money and always expect to win.
Even though this gambling is like a game where there are always wins and loses without having to win continuously, gamblers ignore this problem.

When we can win several times at gambling at different times, our minds will automatically think that this is a good profit that we can get, so we will think about continuing to gamble. But unfortunately, it makes us lose and the amount this time will be bigger than our previous victory. We must be aware of this so that it does not happen to us and must prevent it before we experience it ourselves. So gambling can only be fun for us without being a way to make money.

Whether they accept it or continue gambling for fun and money is up to them. We must control ourselves and not indulge in our desires to continue gambling because that will harm us. We will lose money and become addicted to gambling after playing gambling for a while.

Yes, I agree that self-control can help from all the bad possibilities of gambling. And even though it seems difficult, we must convince ourselves that we can do it.

Many people really go too far when it comes to betting or gambling because they are greedy, and they let their emotions slide, whether they are continuously losing or winning. So my advice when you are going a bit far in gambling is to learn to be contented with your losses and winnings and learn to control your emotions, which means you shouldn't make sudden actions just because you feel lucky or you are going to win a round. Sometimes it's okay to let all your losses disappear in gambling because it helps you learn that not everybody will go home with their winnings, and this will help you to be satisfied or be contented with your losses or winnings.

Yeah right, but for sure it's easy to say than to make in action, just like what you said due to greediness and the emotions that controls your mindset during your gambling sessions, it's a hard battle with you that needed to control, if you manage to beat your own lust then you are good to go, as you can tell yourself that you are quitting for a while to rest and to refresh yourself either you are winning or losing with your gambling participations.

Intentions play an important role, but we are humans and we need stuff to makes us think twice when these intentions are being obfuscated by our own "humanity". Recognizing and acknowledging these tendencies is an essential step in practicing responsible gambling and it is in our hands to use the best resources and share them with others here.

We are only humans and we can't resist things especially it is entertaining and can provide us additional source of income. There is nothing wrong to play gambling but what is only wrong is if you can not stop playing it that it already interferes your life. The stuffs that you mean there must be a distraction to prevent us from playing gambling. There are lots of them. The most common that people on my age group use is online games (video games) like dota 2.

For some it can be watching a movie. It's also a good idea to be productive like find a job which earns you money or plant a crop in your background. This should help us to stay away from gambling. If we have problems with it.
