Does anyone else try this approach?

[MainIbem]

Nobody is happy to lose their money, that's why it's advised that bettors should use their spare cash or "what they can afford to lose" as some may say. With that you won't get very emotional even though you lose everything you deposit to playing a particular game. Well your approach is not a bad idea if what you deposited is not something that would affect you when you go back to check the result of your prediction and see that you lost.

The reason for this approach is to prevent me from being sucked into the casino since I know I'm not playing for fun afterall, anything can happen. So is there anyone who also tries this approach and what do you guys think about this approach?

Sounds like you already know the answer, you’re just bored with gambling and have found other things that are more fun and probably less risky. Now you only show up once in a while with a set amount of money, just to try your luck on sports betting. I’ve been there too. After getting bored with casino games, I’d only drop by occasionally to play roulette and go all in on one specific option.

Honestly, that kind of approach isn’t too bad. At least you’re aware of the risk of losing big, so you only gamble occasionally and with a smaller amount.

[Z-tight]

I don't apply this approach, but if you do and it works well for you, then good for you. I am in firm control of my gambling habit, so i don't need to 'run' as fast as i can from the casino. It doesn't even matter what my bankroll is, if i decide not to withdraw it all, i can control how i use it until i eventually withdraw.

However, i understand that not everyone would possess similar restraint, so anything that would help you keep your habits in check is a great idea and you should stick to it.

Lately I really don't find gambling to be that exciting anymore, at least not as exciting as it used to be before. Prolly because I've discovered and indulged lately in other activities that entertains me more than gambling, but sometimes i still feel the urge to gamble and I'm always afraid whenever i get this urge to gamble, afraid that I might lose it since I'm not really doing it for fun lately. So what i do lately (like today) whenever i get the urge to play is deposit a particular amount, find a singlr game or two (in sports betting BTW) and stake with all the money and leave the casino with whatever outcome of the bet, if i lose, that's the end of my session for that day, i leave knowing i wasn't ucky, and if I win, i withdraw my wins immediately knowing I've made some good profits that day.

It's quite normal to do this if you don't want to waste a lot of time. Only the amount of the bet should be small - an amount that is not at all a pity to lose. Yesterday I was wagering the bonus and I got bored pretty quickly, so I increased the bet amount. Well, that's something like that. Of course, the bonus was not wagered, but there is nothing to regret either (I did not lose anything).

To me it sounds to good to be true, if your urge stops just with one game along then I doubt it is even real, you just want to gamble there no matter what or you are thinking that doing like this of ignoring the result will give you the win, more of a superstitious belief. I am not blaming or anythng but from my perspective this look like a belief to make you win.

That's what I was thinking, that the OP made up the story. Suddenly he has an uncontrollable urge to gamble? And he only deposits enough to place two bets, on sports betting, and nothing else? Normally, an uncontrollable urge doesn't stop at two bets, and even less so in sports betting, where you have to wait to find out the result and you don't bet while you wait?

Just in case he hasn't made it up, I'll say no, it doesn't happen to me, but I find the story hard to believe.

Bitcointalk and campaign managers often give the benefit of doubt here, so users can do whatever feel like posting and still get the benefits, so it is what it is and could be true? The most shortest urge of ghambling addiction.

The best thing about gambling is self awareness and I got so relieved when I got to this point.This is what self awareness does to a gambler,as it helps one to gamble on a direction.The level of control means a lot,it's not everyone that can cross that bridge because it requires massive honesty with yourself.Self awareness is safety and keeps you off the cycle of gambling disorders.

I never tried this approach. If I lose interest in gambling, I just leave it, and if there is an urge just for the old times ' sake, but there is no interest involved, or I think I will not enjoy it, then I will not put money on it, just a waste of energy and money.
There was a time when I lost interest in gambling, which was when I lost a huge amount of money. I eventually came back, and that was when my mind and finances were ready. I don't gamble out of urge or lack of interest.

Since you have found something else to spend your time, it is better. I always gamble because I want to please myself through it. At some point, it turns into a habit while trying to please myself. From that habit, addiction. Since you have no such thing, you can proudly say that I gamble only to please myself.

Recently I'm developing this type of nature in myself. Gambling very less right now. But the very few I'm playing mostly pleasing myself.

For me I think if you are not finding gambling interesting or having that fun, you shouldn't force yourself to gamble or if even think of having some games, you should only gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose. If you force yourself just to gamble when you dont have thst urge or you are not feeling entertained it might have it negative impact.  I think the best of approaching gambling is to feel entertained when you gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose.

[Supreme Donvic]

If you are not finding gambling as a thing of fun anymore The best thing is to stop gambling totally because gambling makes more sense when you are doing it because you want to have fun, because obviously what you are doing right now is not fun anymore to you. You are just doing it in order to make money which is one mindset and one thing that destroys a gambler, it will surely lead you to addiction and how would that happen when you continue losing you may want to gain all the money you have lost and when you try to do that, you keep losing your money and that is how you become addicted to gambling because you want to recover all the money you have lost if you are not finding gambling fun anymore leave and never look back that’s my advice for you.

If gambling is no longer a primary source of pleasure, the remaining urges are usually not about gamble for fun; they're usually about thrills, escape, or old habits. And frankly, often the safest course of action isn't finding the most controlled gambling system, but rather slowly making those urges less and less relevant.

[macson]

That mentality is what real gamblers need, because so many gamblers, when they lose, instead of ending their session for the day, gamble more money to recoup their losses. This is why so many gamblers get trapped in a losing streak because they force themselves to continue gambling even though they've already lost so much money. If they had just quit and ended their session when they lost, they might not have lost so much money.

I think your approach is the ideal approach to gambling, meaning you only deposit money you can afford to lose. Not everyone can achieve this ideal; even I often fail, especially when my bankroll is quickly depleted, or only a small amount of my initial deposit remains in a single gambling session. So, I don't think there is anything wrong with what you are doing. Essentially, we must be aware of our gambling capabilities and avoid pushing ourselves beyond our means. Whatever our goal in gambling, whether it is to win, just for fun, or both, we must be able to control yourself well to be a responsible gambler. Financial and time management are crucial to make it happen.

[Youngrebel]

So obviously it sounds like you have married a new wife ( other activities takings your attention) and so you have lost interest in your first love (gambling). But I'm sure you'll certainly come back to gambling fully after you have tried out all of the rest.
Gambling has a way of entising you and attracting you back to it. You might not be actively involved for at that time but the taughts of your passed wins, fun and all the experiences you had before will make you want to play again, before you know it you find your way around gambling somehow.

[Versatile_choice]

Your approach isn't bad at all but it all depends on the particular amount of money you stake with, if it is a high amount then taking such risks isn't worth it. i know a lot of people think that staking a huge amount on a small odds is actually safe, well maybe it is to gamblers but I don't think it is because you might end up losing all of it. if you take responsibly then there is nothing wrong with your strategy.

I don't have problem with the amount guys chose to stake with, as long as it is what they can afford then its perfectly fine. staking with a high amount can only be problematic if we fail to bet with what we can afford, Yes I do go with this method sometimes especially when I have enough bankroll but if my bankroll is little, then I will reduce my stake. while some gamblers is used to going big but it is not right for a gambler to keep going big all the time because you don't know how long your lossing streak will last, so I like going big most time while sometimes I go with little depending on the level of my bankroll.

Honestly speaking, that's the best way to go about gambling since you're playing for profit, if you are on winning streak you will get excited to play so you can win more but since you ain't winning as expected that's why you have that weird feeling and tiredness combine  with fear of loosing to play, the best form of gambling is sticking to a good Bankroll Management and budgets, that's the only way one can actually control betting habits and minimize addiction.


What most gamblers do is cash out, once they place a bet and the games starts they keep monitoring it and when the potential wins increases beyond the amount they used in staking the bet they immediately cash out for fear of loosing it all and I think that's the method you're using too, I won't lie  I do use this approach too because it helps to recoup little amount of money from the game than loosing everything.

[JoyMarsha]

Your recent approach to gambling is the very way gambling should be done, having a particular amount to gamble with, which should be small. The moment you lose it all, you stop gambling immediately rather than refilling your gambling account to recover your losses. If it is a win, it's a lucky day for you to go home with some profits.

However, what I found out was that, being indulged in other activities can help someone reduce their gambling activities that they can stay without gambling for days and they won't feel bothered that they haven't gamble for some time

[Itz-prisigold]

It is tricky when something that should just be for fun starts  becoming something you are now trying control. It is good that you have a rule about how much you can deposit and how many bets you can place, at least you aren't extending the session or doing any chasing.

In my opinion, I think the most important part is the walking away part and not the all in part. A lot of people normally use to say that if I just win this one, I promise never to play again but immediately they won the game, they will just get even more greedy. And trust me once they lose, they just want to recover that money back. This is the part that things goes wrong.

When you get to a point where you know you are not doing it for fun anymore really says a lot, since it starts to feel more like an urge instead of entertainment, I will advise that you should take a longer break which will definitely help. I respect how much self control you seem to have.
