How discipline are you in managing your bankroll?

[komisariatku]

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?

Gambling with discipline is very difficult. I'm sure we often feel emotional or dissatisfied so we make another deposit after losing a game. I often do this even though I have tried to be more disciplined in managing my finances. I have a money limit when gambling, but several times I have exceeded this limit if I lost too quickly on a slot machine so I made another deposit.

I think we have to be able to control ourselves, when we feel emotional we should stop and do other activities outside the house, usually that makes our emotions better. A safe way to play gambling is to use small bets so that the bankroll will last a long time and we can play until we get bored, but sometimes we don't feel satisfied if we get a big win with a small bet. In gambling, the most important thing is financial management, as long as we can maintain our financial condition in good condition then gambling will not disturb anything.

Took me a lot of tries and failures, but I eventually mastered the art of discipline when it comes to retaining and managing the value of your bankroll. How I did it? Through this unconditional 3-wins-3-loss system that I saw someone propose in this forum, with no variations on my end made.

First off, you create a system wherein when you win or lose after 3 tries, you’d drop the game no matter what the outcome is, and once you successfully do this, live and die upon this hill. You’d see that eventually , you’ll grow the habit of keeping up with this system, and managing and saving the value of your bankroll will come as easy as breathing for you.

sometimes I feel the urge to get more action because I'm not satisfied with my winnings. It's as if there's no tomorrow, and seizing the moment seems like the best option.

Almost every gambler feels that way at some point, you don't think about tomorrow when you feel like you can win more today and have more money for tomorrow and this thought process makes you go for it.

However, whenever I become undisciplined, it usually doesn't end well.

That's right, it barely ends well for any gambler that isn't disciplined with their bankroll and the time they spend on their gambling activities.

My realization is that no matter how good you are at choosing the right bets, without discipline in bankroll management, you'll still end up losing.

Yep, late (since you've lost already) but right. It's discipline and staying within your limits that can save you from excessive losses because gambling is not for us to make money but it's to make money for people who own the casinos.

I don't do anything special in particular, I just always remember that I know I'm a human, and human nature tends to never get satisfied no matter how much it gets. So, it's better to just settle down to whatever you have got and avoid the greed that will keep tickling you to keep playing and you will get more because that's a lie your mind is telling you.

The first step to manage a bankroll is to always remind yourself that betting doesn't have a winning guarantee and so you will have that at the back of your mind before betting and what this does is to make you bet reasonably and not to go beyond your budget. Budgeting and emotion go together, a good budget and a bad emotion means something is wrong but a good budget and a good emotion means something is right because there will always be control on the impulse to play irrationally. So chasing loses is not a good management skill.

Chasing both winnings and losses is always a bad idea as it usually doesn't end in our favor. If we're not content with our winnings and keep betting significant amounts in the pursuit of more wins, it's likely not going to end well. What we really need is a bankroll that allows for both pressure and excitement, turning it into a serious and long-term endeavor. Starting with a small bankroll and aiming for a huge target, while it might succeed, the chances of success are minimal, close to 1%.

For me as long as I was involved in gambling, especially crypto online casinos, I felt that I didn't care too much and was serious about discipline and in the management factor of the money I was betting.

In fact, I gamble as much as I like or when I have free time, the same goes for money, I really use my side money in gambling, for me winning or losing is not a bitter moment that I feel.

I really don't have a special bankroll in gambling, besides I don't set aside special money in gambling, exactly as I said above, gambling comes and goes, gambling is not specifically to be done.

[TheUltraElite]

Its not just the OP, managing the bankroll is tough. Period.
The gambler always wants to make money and to do that they need to constant bankroll supply, which comes in only from their pocket without limitations, eventually creeping to the family's money and borrowed money from lenders.

We have a rule of never bet more than 10% of your entire bankroll on any bet. Try to follow that as a general thumb rule. Controlling your gambling habits need another level of self-discipline without which your end up busting all of it.

Basically chasing something that has been lost in gambling will always be an action that is not recommended, none other than because there is no guarantee whatsoever for you to be able to return the money in full, it is always a little impossible because the purpose of the casino is to profit from the defeat of the gamblers, so with that alone it is clear that it will not be easy for anyone to recover, there will be no other feeling than disappointment and regret, But I say that only for people who still have a little awareness, because of course for people who have a very strong addiction they will not care about the concept and the real risk of gambling that you will not be able or mean very difficult to recover, and usually what they do is continue to chase defeat until they realize that they have lost a lot of money with large amounts.

So it's really not recommended and not a good alternative to choose and also on the other hand usually the final result is even worse. The only thing you can choose is to accept all the risks that have occurred and not chase anything that has been lost, with that then I will call you a responsible gambler. Another way is to reduce the amount of your budget so that you don't get too hurt if you lose again, which is more important.

This is also me, having a strong strategy on how to deal with gambling though sometimes you'll get tempted to gamble more especially if you don't have other activities for the day. Being a responsible gambler can make a big difference and can save you a lot from losing big money. There are times that you might feel to gamble more, just remember your first plan and commit to that. At the end of the day your success will depend on how responsible you are.

This situation is common with most gamblers, even the gamblers with so much of experience and discipline, they at some point struggle with all these things and but they most times seem to have that self control over their urge to want to gamble again because I think they definitely do have that urge at times.

Greed sometimes has been one of the major reason some of these gamblers find it really difficult to maintain a good level of discipline with their bank roll while gambling, the more they get greedy the more they tend to add more, when ever they experience a certain amount nof loss they get greedy and want to recover it by all means thereby increasing their bankroll on their stakes and when it turns out a loss they are affected heavily.

I doubt that many gamblers are disciplined. Because in my opinion, many gamblers play again when they lose because of the emotion of losing and encourage them to gamble again. Unconsciously they have lost a lot of money gambling, things like this are difficult to avoid so many gamblers are like this. The bookie who acts as their host reaps a lot of profits when there are people like this, they have lost a lot but still they keep gambling in the hope that they can get a big win to replace the losses they have felt.
That's the truth, even I can confirm it myself. The greed that drives them to continue gambling because their brains have been quasi by gambling to the point of not thinking about anything else. And this certainly harms them in every way not only in terms of finances.

You said you have been gambling for years? But unfortunately the issue is still there. It is possible that you can't totally learn from your mistakes. We can also say that you are only just a human and as a human, we are always bound to make a mistake. I've went through a lot of motivational discussions or self discipline threads and see that some people there can also fail to follow their new return.

But as they say, as long as you are alive and breathing, there is always a chance. So that was it. Just try to discipline your self again and try to become a better version of your self this time. Good luck buddy. If possible, maybe you can leave gambling for a while.

Like everything else in life becoming a disciplined person is something that you develop slowly and you learn over time, so if you want to become more disciplined then you need to begin to try to do so in many other aspects of your life as well, so if for example your alarm clock rings and it is time to wake up you should not turn it off and sleep for five more minutes, instead you should get up immediately and without any protest, while this may seem small, if you being to do this in many aspects of your life soon you will develop discipline, and deciding a limit when you gamble and respecting it will become way easier.

Experienced gamblers can usually manage their finances well and they always think about not overspending because experienced gamblers know more about the risks of gambling which causes more losses than wins so experienced gamblers definitely use gambling responsibly and determine their bets without being careless and this can be an example for other gamblers to control their finances with discipline and be able to set a budget firmly and not be unstable.
This means that gamblers will definitely not experience problems with financial disruption.

Greed indeed causes gamblers to lose control so it is difficult to be able to set a definite budget. With this greed, someone becomes crazy and ambitious to win big, they never leave gambling before achieving maximum results.

That's principle comes from how you adopt the system and how serious you are in focusing to continue the discipline, I think with what you said developing that kind of thinking you will learn things from each gambling sessions that you'll going to participate in, managing bankroll is not easy as there's always temptation that may lead you to make an excessive gambling.

It's a self-explanation of how good or how bad you are in terms of managing your money, gambling always has that way to allure you and make you ask for more. Things that you need to suppress whenever you are inside gambling.

[Z390]

Many people still tend to overlook and ignore the importance of bankroll, before you start gambling it's very important to define the actual money you want to be using for gambling, either daily, weekly or monthly, if you are a salary earner, allocate some money that you would consider as disposable, the lower it is the better, it depends on how much you are earning though, as little at $2 to as much as $1000, the goal here is to set limits that you can live with.

Many gamblers don't like keeping track of their losses but a proper management of your bankroll involves not only keeping tracks of the bets you win but also those that end up losing, I know that winning can be pretty exciting but at the same time I believe the excitement can also distract them from looking into how much they have actually lost so far.

The third advice for you is to avoid chasing your losses, winning some money in gambling is very exciting however losses are inevitable when you gamble and sometimes the losses might not be very bad and you will feel like you can recover them back, sooner you will start getting the hopes if getting your money back and that will keep you playing, still not entirely bad if you are still managing what you can afford to lose but still this method is not healthy for your bankroll, there is nothing bad in losing and taking a break.

There are many ways we can have good discipline, and you provide a good example of practicing this discipline. When playing gambling, we also have to have good discipline so that we don't gamble too much and always try to stay within limits. We can only try to learn discipline and even though it is difficult, we still have to force ourselves to have good discipline to be able to gamble within limits. We have seen how a gambler loses his discipline in gambling, which causes him to lose a lot of money. For this reason, we must continue to practice discipline so that we don't experience problems in gambling.

Yes, it's very difficult, but we can try it slowly, at least limit the budget because that way we won't gamble beyond the limit, many gamblers don't limit their budget so they gamble without limits, until they use the money that should be for their needs and needs. the family becomes exhausted and ultimately makes the family miserable, falling into poverty and then being abandoned by the family, living a very tragic life by following the habit of gambling so that it cannot be controlled properly.

It's important to find someone to manage the budget, for example someone from the family or someone who understands this, so that you can gamble with proper control, without wasting money excessively and in a limited way, that's why I entrust my wife to manage my gambling budget every weekend, usually under 5% from my weekly salary. He arranged everything and I trust him, everyone will be safe, just gamble wisely and responsibly

It seems like you are addicted to gambling because you have the urge to do more and don't think that there is actually still a tomorrow that you can use to gamble. At least you have to be disciplined in managing your bankroll and always try to limit your gambling so that you never think about exceeding or doing more today. We can only limit losses so that they don't get bigger and don't spend all the money for today so that we can still gamble another day using the money we still have now.

I always set the same amount to gamble and never go over it because once we go over that amount, there will be the urge you feel. If you want to overcome it, you have to learn discipline and never stop practicing it because to become disciplined, you need time. Don't give up if you can't discipline yourself today, and try another day and convince yourself that you can do it by having that discipline.

and ultimately makes the family miserable, falling into poverty and then being abandoned by the family, living a very tragic life by following the habit of gambling so that it cannot be controlled properly.

It happens with the best of gamblers who cannot control their habits, indeed gambling is the cause of marital disharmony in many families.

He arranged everything and I trust him, everyone will be safe, just gamble wisely and responsibly

You will end up fighting with that entrusted person. I have heard about the wife being in charge of the bankroll but the guy eventually started stealing from her in order to play, which led to their divorce and the guy found another woman and stole money from her too.

It ends up being the same unless the gambler exerts their self-control. Most gamblers cannot and they need to seek professional help too.

I have some questions that requires some justice answers. The first one is do you make money in those bets after you exceeded your bankroll? Is your bankroll weekly or daily? I will assume you are not making any profit so that I can input my opinion and recommendations but if you answer, I will change my opinion later.

If you wager your bankroll in a spot and it's something you are not doing before, then I think you need to check yourself. It's either your been idle and have much time to bets and it's affecting your ways of gambling, I believe when you have a very little time, to bets might even be hard to do except if you blew up everything in a single wager.

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?

What do in betting, I have an allocation for every bet and even if when they bring what is expected of them, then the bet is done for that day, you don't need to go extra mile to bets everything and the worse of it is when there is lost for the day, I don't go more than my allocation and after the end of the month, I excel my profits and losses to see how profitable I was for that month. This work like magic and in addition, please have something physical doing and make sure you touch some grass, it's good for the health.

Very well said and it's true. No matter how good we are at betting or how lucky we get but if we don't manage our bankroll well then we will end up spending more on betting and this will eventualluy end us up in losses.
I personally think that the best way to manage bankroll is to deposit only a limited amount that we can afford to lose.
At the end of the day, we need to limit our losses so that we don't end up losing more and we won't lose more if we don't have more money in our account.

Making a deposit less than your usual is a good thing. To some it won’t be of any help but the fact that it is tiring sometimes to deposit an amount, would help you limit your gambling bankroll. Another is to separate the amount you would be using in gambling, on a daily basis such that if you have lost the amount for that day, you’d be in guilt extending your gambling budget. Last is of course, self discipline; simplest yet the hardest. However, no plan will happen if you would neglect imposing your own discipline especially in gambling wherein one’s emotion could take him over. Set the right mindset; win an amount then stop, lose it all for that day then stop. Accept that it won’t always be our lucky day and that there are times losing would be more frequent.

Even I follow this approach and so far it is going great but when I tell this to others they start complaining.
They say that it's easy to say but hard to control the emotions and they start depositing more to play more.
That's the tough part in here and we need to have a strong self control. We need to have that discipline and only then we can manage our bankroll effectively.
