As gambler when last did you self-examine your gambling habit to create that awareness based on how you are gambling in order for you to be quite sure if you're within a considerable or an acceptable range of a gambling habit that is void of addiction or the tendencies of gambling addiction.

I think that it depends on what kind of a gambler you are, if you're someone that's discipled enough to know how you go about your gambling habit, then you don't have a problem at all. For me, I usually have a busy work schedule during the week and before I'm home, I'm mostly tired and will just catch up with relatives after which I exit back to the bed. My gambling seasons has always been during weekends mostly on Saturdays and it's mostly in the evening so I doubt that's goong to possibly lead to addiction.

Those that are to be worried about are individuals that don't have a steady streams of income and that are probably using gambling as a possible source of income, it's deficult for them to even check up on thier gambling habit because for most cases, they are mostly addicted already ane have to figure thier livea out before thinking about cutting down on thier gambling habit. If they are able to figure their lives out, then regulating their gambling habit won't necessarily be a big deal.

Self examination is very important. It has been easy to immerse yourself wit gambling without realizing when it becomes problematic or addictive. We should regularly ask ourselves, how much time and money did I spend? am I having negative consequences?, do I feel in control? with these questions you can gain a clearer understanding about your habits whether there are red flags or warning signs of addiction. It's important to have self awareness to ensure that gambling remains as a form of entertainment rather than source of harm.
That's nice if everyone could do that.
We tend to get attached to gambling for different reasons. One is when we are winning, right next to it is the urge to win more so we continue on playing. The other is when we are chasing our losses which means we also have to stay because we are trying to get our revenge and win back whatever amount that was taken from us and maybe more.
It's a never-ending cycle actually and it's up to us when we want to stop. Some will not even try. I guess the other question that we should ask ourselves is: When was the last time we made a withdrawal and enjoyed that money? We keep on gambling but there are times we have not even taken a break because of the urge that was said above. For me, it's win, withdraw, and enjoy. The only problem is, it is getting harder to win as you keep on playing. Just one good break and I will not think twice to take it our and enjoy the money.
Actually it do comes naturally because our senses or simply our brain would be telling on some point that you are really that spending too much already on which its impossible that for someone
to have that missed awareness on the moment that they would really be keeping on depositing funds into a certain platform just because he had lost up that much. The only main issue on here is that on the time
that you are really that aware on the things you've been doing is that you do neglect or reject it out and would really be that ending up on a disaster when things becomes messy.

If you are that sure that you are spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose in doing gambling then you are really just that doing fine but if you are that someone whose really that
not that having that kind of awareness on the things you've been doing then most likely you would really be ending up on having that disaster and this is something that you must avoid in the first place.
People wont really be that tending to make some decisions on the time that they arent experiencing any hardship.

There is nothing like self examination when there is no rule that is put in place to check the activities of the gambler,  in this way while you keep check of your gambling,  you are at the same time following a new patten that will place you in a better position in your future gambling.

Those rules will help a gambler to have a lay down principle in form of a blue print to follow through with,  which is very important for every active gambler if you ever want to gamble safely.

I don't agree with you. It is possible to examine yourself even without having an established gambling rule on the ground. When you are self-conscious you will know when there is a problem in your gambling and vice versa. Being self-conscious when gambling is a good way for a gambler to monitor and regulate his gambling behavior.
When a gambler is self-conscious, he can identify signs of problematic gambling behavior.

I think a gambler should pay attention to his thoughts and feelings while he is gambling. If a gambler notices that he is becoming anxious or upset, it is good he take a break from gambling and engage in a calming activity instead. This can prevent a gambler from making impulsive or irrational decisions.
I would have to go by the way of the OP here and I simply do not know what you are actually disagreeing with because your points and those of @Wiwo are two different thoughts which are still needed by gamblers to preserve the gambling psychology and acts. Wiwo was talking about self-examination which is also the main context of this thread, and if you must know, this is the overall evaluation of oneself and not merely being self-conscious. Mind you, those who are self-conscious can still make mistakes due to one of the emotional factors affecting gamblers, while some will not even be easily and immediately deciphered by the gambler, unless the fellow is just so sensitive and wise.

Now, don't be surprised that the reason(s) for the mistakes (hidden or not) may later be revealed through the evaluation that Wiwo was discussing in case you do not know. Which one is now greater?

Also, having gambling rules makes it better so that the gambler will not be randomising the self-examining exercise and thereby causing style drifting in gambling styles and rules. His advice is so on point if I must say. While yours is all about being cautious as a gambler, and nothing more.

It's always about self-awareness or maintaining a level of self-awareness and it's true that this is best, I often say and suggest this to others including some of my friends who also gamble and I always suggest that it is advice that should not be ignored to emphasize and maintain self-awareness when you are involved in gambling especially when you are running sessions, not least because this is a fairly effective way of preventing yourself from some unwanted possibilities.

On the other hand I understand that there are no rules set in gambling activities to check gambling activities, but it is actually very simple which as you said that the key is "awareness" or maintaining self-awareness because this will be very useful to identify some things that can trigger or plunge you into wrong gambling actions, the point is that awareness can be your savior in any case if you can be firm to continue to maintain it.

But being honest on your own assessment is probably one of the hardest things to do for a human being, and there is clear evidence this is the case, when there is a survey so a person can self-evaluate their performance on school or on their job, more than 90% of them think of themselves as being way above the average performance of their peers, an impossibility of course, showing that people see themselves in a positive light, even when this is not justified, so it is preferable to have clear rules, that way it will be easy to evaluate if we are having some gambling issues or not.

I just want to add that if people want to make "self-examining" much easier, they should put reasonable rules in place when they are gambling, doing this would make it easier to find out if you are starting to have gambling problems, what I mean about it is if you keep breaking the rules you have put in place then it means that you are having trouble following it and you might be suffering from a gambling problem.

Self awareness i should say on which this is something that would really be important into someones life specially on trying out to determine whether you are really that still doing good or not.
Not all people would really be having that kind of awareness about into their actions on which most of us would really be just making adjustments on the time that we are already on unfortunate or not nice condition on which it would really be that a normal human instinct if we do speak about something like this but actually we could really be able to avoid things if we are really just that sensible into it.
There are really just those people who are really that making tolerating into the gambling session or activity they do have despite of the financial effect that it do gives.

Regret is always at the end and this is something that  you should be stopping it from happening. No one would be planning to stop it out not until when disaster happens.

Time control and money management is something that can indeed stop some of the things that arise in us in gambling, such as greed, impulsivity, compulsive attitudes and things that can trigger our emotions to become disorganized and our mentality becomes bad because of being carried away.
So that's why time management is very important, one of which is knowing when you have to work, when you gather family, when you worship and when and how long you gamble in a week or day, but I'm pretty sure many people miss this and don't care about time issues, because indeed time discipline in life is the most difficult thing for anyone to do, because people who can manage their time are happy people.
It's interesting what you say, because I was thinking about that type of strategy for a long time, I think that sometimes when you enter a casino, and you start playing, the longer you play, I think it is much more difficult to win, but if you play Opportunities increase quickly, or they are lost all at once.

Of course I don't know how efficient that style of play will be, but when I'm playing for example dice, if I play and bet hard and until I win I don't fold, what happens is that sometimes the system sees our intention and doesn't let us play, etnonce shay to change the strategy, maybe last a little longer but to win safely, but these things are not fibale, in fact for a long time I was trying that, but it didn't give me much results, etnonce the best What you can reach as a conclusion is that time does not influence much, what influences is spending the money that one is allowed to lose, without risking our status quo, because you cannot have the irresponsibility of spending more than normal , because it is sometimes difficult to spend the money that is earned with so much work and effort.
Things in technical terms in my opinion can be free in choosing any gambling, whether it's dice, cards, slots or others, talking strategy in the game is optional and technical things like that are varied by each person, but what I want to emphasize is the use of time to gamble for the gambler so that he can realize and know when to stop, yes like a separate alarm to warn us that the time you set for gambling has expired and you have to stop even though you still have enough money left in the casino to continue the game but still you have to stop from the game because your time is up. Whether it's effective or not depends on how disciplined you are in the management you do for yourself. And why not try doing it for the next month.

Time management and money control indeed play a vital role in mitigating the negative consequences associated with gambling, such as greed, impulsivity, and emotional distress. Effective time management involves setting clear boundaries. Gamblers need to allocate specific periods for various activities in life, including work, family time, religious obligations, and leisure activities like gambling. Establishing designated time slots for gambling and adhering to them can prevent excessive engagement that may lead to harmful behaviors.

Integrating time management with money management is an aspect to maintain balance and control. Gamblers need have limits setting on the amount of money allocated for gambling activities and sticking to a predetermined budget, It's a method to prevent financial harm and ensure that gambling remains within reasonable bounds. If gamblers can cultivate time management skills requires discipline and commitment, the benefits in terms of mental health, productivity, and overall satisfaction would be immense. They can enjoy the recreational aspects of gambling without jeopardizing other aspects of their lives.

I think if gamblers could take certain step in setting up regular self examining question towards themself it will be helpful to them in their gambling life not to ignorantly be harbouring a gambling addiction or compulsive gambling lifestyle. Quite a number of gamblers are nursing an addictive gambling habit without knowing and for them their gambling life is normal but if they should  genuinely scrutinize or put their habit to test it is possible they could find varied errors to correct and be right on track again.

Don't you think so?

exercising your control over what is done in the casino is quite important. especially regarding the finances allocated for gambling, which will be the most important thing to pay attention to.
I usually allocate money weekly for casino games and football betting. So that's what I control in the game, if it runs out in 2 or 3 days then I can't play until the next allocation is obtained.
I can bet more. but I limit it myself, for the sake of myself and my family. I can't be so selfish about thinking about my pleasure.

It is one thing to set a limit and it is another thing to stick to the limit. One thing that makes some gamblers to gamble out of proportion is over confidence. They are too sure of themselves that they cannot fall into a gambling problem even if they exceed their limits, afterall a few bucks won't hurt.

Even though I set limits for myself,  I still make sure I settle important bills first before setting aside a small percentage for gambling. I do not see gambling as a source of income,  so it is very easy for me to set strict rules on my gambling habit and other activities that has to do with money and stick to them.

People can only encounter challenges in gambling when they displease themselves just to gamble.  If your gambling habit causes you so much displeasure, then it is a time to think twice but many would rather ignore these signs and chase profits that ain't forth coming.

Indirectly it is money management, time management and we can see how much money can be spent and how much money can be lost in gambling including how many sessions or how much time we use to gamble.
And I personally always question it into myself and ask if I have exceeded a certain limit, it is something that can make me realize when indeed I feel I am in the final stage of what I have conceptualized or scheduled in gambling, if in finance it is the budget that I have set in the wallet that has been set for gambling, and if it runs out then finish and don't want more to play gambling again.
I agree with that. But it's just difficult to have money management if emotions are spilling. That is where it all goes wrong. Chasing losses, greed, or whatever emotion there is, we either have the mindset of getting our money back or just want to double it one more time.
Gambling addiction starts from there so we must plan our budget if we don't want to get sucked into it. When it comes to time management, I think we should set priorities. If there is work to be done, do it first, don't let gambling be the wall for us to be productive. I've seen myself go wrong when it comes to time management and I was checked by my supervisor because of it. Unproductive month because I was chasing my losses and I was hooked on playing casino games.
OP is right though, we must learn to step away and think things through. That's where we could see that we maybe crossing the line.
Gambling with emotions is a recipe for disaster. Once you act out of fear, greed, or desperation, you've lost. Losing money isn't enough; you lose control and yourself to the gamble. The mental shift from recouping losses to doubling down is a leap into addiction. Planning budget? Vital, but don't kid ourselves. Unchecked emotions are a bandage on a gaping wound. You've lived the pursuit, unproductive spiral, and supervisor reality check. These are not just personal failings; they're clues to destruction

Time management goes beyond prioritizing. Creating a safety net for yourself. Work reminds gamblers of the stakes, not merely distracts them. The productivity drop you experienced is a microcosm of the problem

Many gamblers don't even see self examining as anything that is why people get easily addicted to gambling,  if people should try to follow up on their self if the manner at which they play gambling is okay , it will really help people from getting addicted,  and it can also help people to play responsible that will help one from losing much money in gambling . Self examining in gambling is another way of making one to learn how to be discipline while playing gambling.  This will be a guide for one to know if gambling is being played in the right way. Most gambling challenge that we find ourselves in is because we zo not try our best to examine ourselves in gambling.
There are phenomenal conditions that could make some people's perspective towards self examination in gambling as nothing of any use to them. Take for example,  society's that living conditions in that society are very poor and gamblers under that setting get hold of gambling as a means to make money which could in turn change their conditions for a better by the money that may be won through their constant gambling.

 This fixation to making a win at all cost to better their life could be a hindrance to give heed to the necessity for self examination of their gambling life to withdraw a bit from how they constantly gamble in a way that seem as though their future depends on it maybe due to how other factors are not resulting favourable to them. But still I'll emphatically say that making time for self examining would do more good to such people than the opposite.
We all adore the thrill of the game and the possibility to win big - its human nature and a lot of fun. Self-examination is crucial, especially when your future is at stake. And I've seen the good, bad, and ugly of risk-taking. Making a few bucks can feel like winning the lottery, but your perspective and strategy matter most.

You cited communities that consider gambling as a lifeline out of disaster. Its understandable that people want to change their luck. But without stopping to assess your actions and goals, you're just going round in circles. The goal is to play smart, not cease having fun or winning large.

Consider it the best deal with yourself. As the president of your life, why wouldnt you want to make decisions that wont bankrupt you? Balance matters. Gamble for fun, but be aware of the odds. And remember, the house always has an edge; dont give away more than you can lose. A little self-examination may be the key to make the game more fun and your life easier.

Indirectly it is money management, time management and we can see how much money can be spent and how much money can be lost in gambling including how many sessions or how much time we use to gamble.
And I personally always question it into myself and ask if I have exceeded a certain limit, it is something that can make me realize when indeed I feel I am in the final stage of what I have conceptualized or scheduled in gambling, if in finance it is the budget that I have set in the wallet that has been set for gambling, and if it runs out then finish and don't want more to play gambling again.
I agree with that. But it's just difficult to have money management if emotions are spilling. That is where it all goes wrong. Chasing losses, greed, or whatever emotion there is, we either have the mindset of getting our money back or just want to double it one more time.
Gambling addiction starts from there so we must plan our budget if we don't want to get sucked into it. When it comes to time management, I think we should set priorities. If there is work to be done, do it first, don't let gambling be the wall for us to be productive. I've seen myself go wrong when it comes to time management and I was checked by my supervisor because of it. Unproductive month because I was chasing my losses and I was hooked on playing casino games.
OP is right though, we must learn to step away and think things through. That's where we could see that we maybe crossing the line.

One thing that we need to know how to do is the time management you mentioned, when you have that, you know your time and spending limitations because you only have a set time for gambling, and of course to prevent the development of addiction, We really need to avoid combining gambling with our other daily activities, especially if you think that it can damage or cause trouble in other things, such as work performance or if you are in business, it can be a mess your management of your business or financial loss is possible
