Is having a fixed budget in gambling one way to avoid chasing losses?

Well, if you make a new deposit every time you lose and hope to win back, this is a complete lack of bankroll management.

It’s not really lack of control, it’s more like there was no real bankroll management in the first place, because honestly there was never even a proper bankroll set up.

We throw around the term bankroll management too easily sometimes, but we should first understand what it really means. For me, bankroll management should be something intended for the long term, like a budget meant to last for a month of gambling or something close to that.

Because if the money is too small, you can’t really call it bankroll management. Most people will just try to chase a big return right away, and that already goes against the real idea of proper bankroll use.

Real bankroll management is not about trying to double it fast or turn it into 10x in a short time. Pro gamblers who are actually profitable usually work with just a small percentage of their bankroll each time, and that mindset is the more correct one.

There is no need to chase what you can afford to lose, because the money is just too little for your concern, isn't it? People only chase what they have lost because they aren't ready to lose the money in the first place, fixed budget can be something you aren't ready to lose, just because it's fixed doesn't mean you are ready to lose the money, if you are using fixed amount, make sure it's what you can afford to lose.
Some gamblers don't have any amount they risk on gambling, it all depends on the amount they can afford every week, some gamblers have different type of jobs that brings in high and low income based on time, sales and other things, someone who can afford to lose 20 this week can afford to lose 40 in the week time.

Having a fixed budget helps, but what helps more is sticking with that fixed budget. People can make calculations based on the money they have and allocate a certain amount for gambling, but it all changes immediately when they start losing; they are no longer able to control themselves and stick to it, so one thing I will say helps more is self-discipline to make you stick with the fixed budget.

Exactly, because sticking with the fixed budget can actually go a very long way. This are the most important thing in gambling because it will definitely help you to gamble responsibly without getting caught up in gambling so we should try and stick with discipline while gambling since we can not afford to beat the casino.

Just that most gamblers are unpredictable because it's obvious that chasing losses won't going to get a win for you, rather it will still result to more losses at the end of the day so it's better to maintain a fixed amount and stop when you are not getting it correctly.

Fixed bankroll = self limit. This sounds less important, but very impactful. Yeah i admit having money sitting in our wallet is bad when we're an addicted gamblers. We would use it even if we know we would be losing it all.

So when we're running out of budget for gambling. We will remember if we should not being so careless with money. It's also slowly, but surely help us to receover from being addicted.

Other than that it's also helping to re-allocate our free time used for gambling to the escapist activity such as playing video games, gym or etc cuz we have no money to gamble with.

You explain the cycle of how we start, lose, and then empty the wallet in a very practical and easy way. What happens is that when we don't set any limits, it feels like a horse that has no reins and bridle, and it runs without stopping. The same happens when we don't separate the funds for gambling, you will never know how much you have spent, nor will you know the exact point to stop. Every bet will result in a loss, and you will think that you can win on the next bet, but that will not happen.
