Does anyone else try this approach?

[Byebyebtc]

Good approach though
But Well no one is really forcing you to gamble you know, the way you speak of it it's like you get nothing from it anymore, no fun, no money etc it's just like it's a must to do it, or are you addicted?
I learnt that if your not benefiting in something, it's better you let it go, you can always let go of gambling if you don't benefit anything from it again, or else it will turn to gambling.

If I find myself in a situation where gambling no longer excites me, i am going to take a break.  Sometimes, what you just need is a break and not that pressure to gamble at all means. Your strategy is good, but a little fun while gambling will spice up your game and make you eager to gamble even when you are losing. You should try it, when you come back to gambling again, you will rekindle that old sweet feeling that exists whenever you gamble.

The approach is good, and I believe it will help reduce gambling addiction. The reason why I said this is that most gambling addiction started from this type of situation. Most times we want to stop gambling entirely because we often lose more than we win and call it fun when we know there is no fun in losing. Just that gambling and or betting is different from other type of fun. Why people call betting fun is because you might be betting and taking risk that will make you fortune tomorrow. Just like a risk fun, while others are just fun without risk. So people choose the most beneficial.

This is how sports betting should be. Pick less risky games, know that the outcome is either a loss or a win, place your stake, and leave the casino. Whatever the outcome should not bother you. If it is a win, that's fine, and if you lose hope on the next one.

I also like the approach you use. Which is betting on a single game. A single game is better than multiple bets IMO. Multiple bet is more risky.

Multiple bet or having many game place on one betting ticket is more risky and there is no better chance of winning because one game might just cut the ticket but i think while have more game on one betting ticket is to add up more odd since they have small money to bet or stake with it, picking less game are most time done by gamblers that have money and they most time win they pick less game and stake with high money unless the little game selected to play has some bigger odd before you can stake low amount with it and get a good potential win.

It means you shorten your time at the casino but still place your bets in one session within a short period of time? That can be done, but of course, you still need to have control over your gambling satisfaction because there are also gamblers, especially those who play at the casino, who need more time to gain satisfaction from the game. So, the duration of play is also important for gamblers.
But if you can do it, that would be quite good. For those who bet on sports, this might be doable. But for those who play at the casino, it might be better to limit their budget.

You are absolutely right because I've known of no other way to get back the excitement of gambling when ever it disappears other than taking a break, and this is what I myself have always done each time I feel I've been gambling too much and the things doesn't excite me anymore.

When gambling excitement is no longer present and the gambler is forcing him or herself to continue to gamble through whatever or however means, this is bad because consistent gambling is how some people ended as gambling addicts, some went into dept they would never be able to pay back as a result of looking for all means to keep gambling even when they ran out of money..
It is absolutely good to take breaks at some times, atleast, this can help us focus more on some other important things than one having their mind on gambling all the time.

Well, that's a good thing because not everyone has the same experience that you do, some people just can't control the excitement to gamble, and it's becoming worse day by day. Losing that intense need to gamble isn't a bad sign, it’s the opposite. It means you’re far less likely to develop an addiction. Though there are days when you have this feeling to bet on your favourite teams, that's completely normal since betting was a part of your excitement while watching the sports you love.

Me? I don't have any other activities that keep me busy, and keep me away from gambling like how I used to gamble before, but it is the responsibility in life that's been holding me back from overspending on gambling. I also lost a lot of that excitement, like the way it was before, as right now, I'm at the point in my life where the things I was seriously spending my time on before have now just become my past time, and I only do it for fun now.

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.

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?

Don't you have budget in gambling, that will help you manage your finance properly and remove fear from you because you have already made up your mind on how much set aside for gambling and how it's being managed either daily, weekly, monthly or whenever you are chanced to gamble, you know that the wins are not guaranteed therefore you have to control your emotions in other to have a good health if you still want to continue gambling .

Since you are not playing for fun, always remember you will be losing because gambling is all about losing before you can win, and winning is by luck, therefore gamble with what you can afford to lose.

This is the ideal approach that a regular sports betting dude is supposed to abide by so as to minimize loss because the more frequent you are in your bets, the more likely it is that you're going to get dragged into getting addicted. Keeping it simple by just placing a single bet or fewer bets per session and leaving it till you see the outcome is damn rewarding because you're not too much in a hurry to try out so many bets that are just random bets. The fact that even from the comfort of your home, you can make your prediction, close your app and go do something else that takes your attention off the game till the result comes out is another positive flex that will help you gamble in a more responsible approach.

[Alex077]

What you just described is majorly about setting a difficult stop before even begin, and it is wiser than to chase losses or betting without a stop. Limiting one deposit, one bet, and walking out do reduce time that is exposed to the house edge.

Haven said that, to stake everything at once go increases variance. It secures you from long sessions, yet it equally makes results swing harder.  The larger question is the urge itself. When gambling is not exciting again and you are doing it as a result of habit or tension, that is a signal that is worth paying attention to.

A lot of people who shared stories that are alike on Reddit later said the real win was cutting down frequency, not strategy optimizing. Limiting access might assist more than to refine the system.

Do you know why reducing the frequency of gambling  & limiting the session is more effective than just changing the strategy? Because if you play for long time the house edge become heavier as a number. Not only that if you bet for a long period of time you lose control over yourself as a result of which people make reverse moves and the loss recovery cycle goes beyond the betting limit. Short and disciplined session save your capital because you spend less time at risk and miss the opportunity to break before you get  so much hot

So I always draw a loss or time limit, sometimes no breaks, so I protect myself from gambling losses. On the other hand the addiction to recover lost funds or the lure of winning make  gambler lose their sense of self interest, the end result of which is a big catch. On the other hand the addiction to recover lost money or the lure of winning make people lose their sense of self interest, the end result of which is a big fall

I understand your point. Me too, I am also at that stage where things that used to excite me previously no longer excite me that much. What I do now is to give it time while I focus on the things that excite me. Life is too short to pressure oneself over things that do not matter at the moment.

Like in the case of gambling, some days are like that for me. If I don't feel like gambling, I let it go for that day. Good thing is, I do not have a gambling routine, gambling happens for me naturally. One of the reasons it is like that for me is because I have a job, other hobbies and social life that takes alot of my attention. I am cool with this because there will be no risk of me getting addicted and getting into trouble.

[iv4n]

So is there anyone who also tries this approach and what do you guys think about this approach?

I have breaks, short and long ones, but not because gambling doesn't excite me. It's usually because I am too busy for some long gambling sessions, or when I have other plans with money, and I don't wish to spend it on gambling. In any case, when I make a deposit, I plan to have fun with it... Maybe I will place some bets on sports games, or I will spin slots. If I win, I usually withdraw part of the bankroll, and I leave something for the next time. I don't bother myself much it, I simply go with the flow.

It's not a bad thing if you find something new or other activities that are more exciting than gambling, because it can improve your finances if these new things don't drain your wallet.
I've been in a phase where I was bored with gambling, and yes, it didn't make me feel like I was losing out, in fact, it improved my finances.

Good approach but I read it somewhere that if you don't have 3x amount to risk, then don't risk that money. I don't think you dislike the fun of gambling per say, you probably dislike the fact that you make loss in gambling more often than you make money from gambling and that's a general problem. You don't have to feel remorseful and fear about it because it's a normal thing in gambling unless you put too much money at stake which is bad.

You can continue your approach, there is nothing wrong with it but make sure you are putting less money in gambling and priorities way to make plenty of money from casino. If you stake less amount of money, the fear of losing it to the casino will reduce and maybe that fun you don't have from gambling, you will start having it from henceforth.

I used to do something similar whenever I used altcoins because fees and confirmation times were quick. Eventually, I had to stop because sportsbooks can sometimes have sudden downtime, and I ended up missing my next planned bet.

It's still a good strategy to withdraw constantly, but it can get annoying or tiring if your next move is always to send it back to your account the next day. An alternative I suggest is to use a casino's vault, since it's nearly the same thing but you only need to make a few clicks.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

It is fine to take time away from gambling and engage in other entertaining activities, you are human after all, you have every right to get bored of something and more to another, I've never felt bad quitting gambling for three weeks straight or more because what I care about is having the best time of my life.

You are right, it's possible that someone can feel bored at some activities after repeatedly doing that thing over and over again, but even if one is not bored or tired of doing that one favorite activity that they like to do, it is self control to stay away from gambling for about 3 weeks, most people can not stay away. Before now, I hardly stay away for up to a day without gambling but when setting my life straight in job and business that rewards me consistently, I made it a priority and put gambling aside.

You are trying to use time/session lock approach to manage yourself in gambling, which is a good thing. Regularly wasting money is unjustifiable, and since we must gamble, there should be some appropriate measure that can limit our exposure/addiction, if present. I can only implore you to continue this way with discipline because, "you will still be tempted."

As for your question, I don't do such. The reason is because I don't have any challenges in gambling whatsoever. It's in trading that I can say I do something similar to that.

As for me it looks silly enough. You just lose money. If you want not to become a gambling addict - just avoid it and don`t lose money. You say yourself that it is not so exciting - just leave it.
I`m not gambling man, but i spent lots of time playing PC games. Some moment it became boring and i just stopped. I have several games on my PC, nobody reject me to play. I just don`t want it. There are lots of things that i have to do and hobbies which more interesting for me.
I think your situation looks the same.

[btc78]

this approach i think is what everyone is trying to do but not everyone can do it due to lack of discipline and self-control

if everyone used this strategy successfully, there would be a lot less people who lose money in gambling only to regret it eventually

[Localhostspeed]

Gambling used to be for fun in the past, but now things have changed and people are beginning to see gambling as a means to make money through their winnings, but we should also warn gamblers on the risks that comes from seeing gambling as a profit making or a business which have made many gamblers to lose a lot of money more than they can afford or even become addicted to gambling because they are chasing the winning by all means.
Conclusions, is better to stay away from gambling when you either win or lose, have limits and apply every needed approach and not to be carried away with the money expectations from winning.

Even now gambling is fun, the only reason why gambling isn't fun again is because we have decided to gamble for survival, and as long as we see gambling as way for making money, the more we get disappointed the more we lose interest in gambling and that's why we don't see the fun in gambling again. Until we change our we picture gambling and how we make money from it, personally I don't see anything wrong in putting mind but don't depend on it to survive.

If you decided to quit gambling because it's affecting you negatively, I will support the motion 100% and if you decide to reduce the way you do it, that's also for the best but don't just depend on it for survival. The earlier you refused to depend on gambling for means of making a livelihood, you will not stress anything about gambling, even the day you don't make money you will not feel any remorse except that you use more than you can afford to lose.
