Does anyone else try this approach?

[Altryist]

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?

I always divide my gaming deposit into a certain number of bets, because I know that if I place all the money I have on one bet and lose, it will greatly affect my mood. That’s why I split my deposit into a large number of bets, and based on my experience, most of those bets should be winning ones. So even if I don’t win some of them, my deposit won’t decrease significantly. I like this approach much more.

This is similar to how I gamble, if I win I am leaving immediately before I change my mind, it takes nothing to go back on your own plan as a gambler that's why critical decision is very important.

If you lose money that you already plan to risk on gambling for that day its also better to take your leave or quit, this method is helpful for people who are just starting out.

If gambling is not fun for you anymore it's better you leave gambling space for a while, find something else that can make you happy or have some fun like going outdoor with your family or friends or watching some movies.

I don't like making use of a specific strategy in gambling over time without having tangible achievement from such, also, the way i gamble and stake may come in a multi dimensional ways because i don't gamble in the same direction others often do, as am being prone to by dynamic on how i place my bet and the way i also stake, that is why before playing any game, i have to put in some factors together and make necessary comparison to know what is expected or at stake before staking.

I think you are approaching the point where gambling, as a form of entertainment, does not give you the satisfaction like it used to. Given that you only bet the amount of money that you allocated for the day, the urge of spending more isn't there anymore. This really means perhaps that you're moving-on from this habit due to the fact that you have already found another passion which gives you more joy.

Have I tried this approach like what you did OP? I tried it and this became effective on me quitting my for a few years in my gambling habit.

Is this normal to feel? Completely! In fact, this might be the push that you're truly waiting to move on completely from this habit.

Every gambler has their own way of betting. You, I, and Op also have our own ways of betting. 
But sometimes, when you face the problem of not being able to stop gambling, you can try some methods used by others, like what Op did to control their urge to gamble. 
Some people have the self-control to limit their gambling, while others bet freely and have a higher risk of addiction.

I'm gambling for fun and not just for the profit, so I have different approach that I use in sports betting and this one is one of them, I can predict some games, stake on it for that day and even forgot that I stake on a game that day, it could be the next time that I want to bet again before I will see outcomes of my previous bet. My daily activities sometimes does not allow me to have all the time to be checking on my games always.

When you play for fun and not just for winning, things change, the energy shifts, everything flows more easily, this leads to a better focus on everything. It's not the same as playing to win by force or obligation if you win, that's good, if you lose , you have to accept it The idea is to have a different kind of time, free from stress and pressure.

You don't have to check them always, but at least at the end of the game you can always go back to check on your ticket. As for me, most times I bet on some of the games I follow up on, or at least I add a few games that I know I will watch the match for when it's playing. That way, even if I'm occupied before the end of the game, I will always remember that I staked money for that game I'm watching.

Don't get it twisted Mate, even those who play for fun can still end up getting trapped if care is not taken. Imagine playing solely for the thrill of the game and that day happens to be the day you hit a insane winning streak, one you've never seen before, trust me at this point, without discipline, the gambler's focus can easily shift as this could turn around to get them trapped. so whether the player is playing for fun or profit, they still pretty much need discipline, cos things can go wrong at anytime,

You're absolutely correct that's the real truth about it. Honestly, there's nothing good than being discipline because that is the key to navigating the industry without any stress. Sometimes we need to understand that gambling for fun doesn't mean you are fully satisfied with any outcome, things can easily turn against you if you don't know how to stop and call it a day because that's exactly why you see some fun gambler get caught up in the game because they weren't able to stop in the right time.

So in which ever way you found yourself just remember to be more careful and have a good self control.

This is exactly what I've been talking about: refocusing your attention on something else to distract yourself from the object of your passion. This works with any activity, not just 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.

Of course, you'll be drawn to play again, because there are no "former" gamblers.

If you don't enjoy it, then why do it? Is it out of habit, or is it a mild manifestation of a mild gambling addiction? Or is it for the money?

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?

You employ an interesting tactic, and I'd say it's rational, in my opinion, because it prevents you from losing more than you expect while still leaving you with a chance to win. In a way, it's like finding a balance between the desire to play and controlling the gameplay.

I think you can practice this as long as it doesn't cause you any trouble (or losses).

Sometimes, you can find incredible information in the discussions here that I wouldn't have thought of on my own.

Well basically even me I did the same thing here is when I get tired of playing gambling or even dont have an energy but I wanted to make a bet I make a position for the upcoming matches and leave it sometimes I just get back if I win good If i lose still good because no much pressure or too much energy given to the game just making a chill on the game. But of course it hits different if there is a spike of excitement into yourself upon playing with the casino so better to take a break if you feel exhausted.
