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.

A few years ago, when I realized that I was falling off the deep end and is becoming addicted to gambling, since then, I've been very calm and collected and have not felt the need to really introspect and discern whether I'm an addict to gambling or not.

It only happened a single time too, thing about me is that when I found out something about me is wrong, I immediately do everything in my own power to fix and revert the issue back to working status. So when I realized that I'm becoming addicted to gambling after hearing my friends tell me that they think I am, and after realizing that I've been giving gambling more attention than it needs to, I started looking into ways to fix it and gladly I was able to not only relinquish these bad behaviors, but also set up a regimen that would help me become disciplined first and foremost.

If not for the quick realization that I had in 2020, and a supportive band of friends that I have, I may have really lost myself and my money back then. Which is partly the reason why I always advocate towards telling people you care about the most that you gamble, so you can be checked on right away.

Money and time management is something that would really be needed on which you wont really be needing any technical or indepth whatsoever you would really be needing to be done.
Self awareness and common sense would really be just that enough on which if you do able to see that you are already doing good or already that excessive.
It would be always wise that you should really know on what you are doing and you should be wary whether you are still that good when it comes to financial
condition or status. Dont let yourself get dragged down when it comes to spending because once you do this then recovery would really be that so damn hard.

ok that's a nice advice but how we can do that precisely? The better way isn't to assess our PnL, the total amount wagered each month or number of hours spent at playing casino games? The border is usually to not spend what you can't afford to lose at gambling games. If you're respecting that, your addiction or habit has no serious consequences on your money and life budget, only on your free time.

I think what he is trying to say is that even if we do not intentionally make out the time to examine ourselves, there usually a signal that we are stepping out line. And I agree with him because it isn’t that we are always subconscious when gambling too much, we know it but our greed doesn’t let us work on it. Even when you try to stop, greed doesn’t let it work. This is why gambling addicts are know to find quitting difficult.

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.

Carefulness and vigilance is always one of the keys so that we do not fall into the wrong path, this is also part of identifying activities that you are doing or habits that you like to do such as gambling and not only that because awareness is also an important point to keep you in a safe and secure situation or to prevent you from the possibility of falling into it because as we know that there are so many things that look tempting in gambling which I think it is a fact that most people fall into it and get carried away without realizing it.

And the other key that is most important in my opinion is to have a correct and precise understanding of what gambling is, because of course even though you have caution and vigilance, you will still end up saying that what you are doing is right in your opinion when in fact it is a mindset or action that is not recommended overall in gambling, This is why we must have the right understanding because with this you will realize that gambling is a high-risk activity so that you will indirectly know about what you can and cannot do in certain situations and all of this will be easily done when you are able to think rationally based on the right understanding.

Self examining won't work because everything you did always right in your own perspective, you always have a reason why you did that even though not all of them end in good result. You need to seek for a professional, they're the one who can judge your gambling habit in objective instead of emotion or your own perspective.

I have an example, but in investment. You think it's good to buy meme coin because you can get rich overnight, even though you aware with the risk. For me, it's not good because the risk is too big than the reward, it's better to stick with Bitcoin.

Best method I have applied that has worked for me, and it's still putting me on Check until date is that I have an amount of money, number of per week, and how much time I give myself to spend whenever I'm into gambling activities because I realized that what usually get people to become addicted to something is spending excessive amount of time on that particular stuff that one should spend, especially when it comes to gambling, if you become time cautious of your time, this will help you to identify the point where you are.

Self examination in gambling (if actually there is anything like this) is something that should be done progressively, while we are participating in gambling, not once in a while, it is something the gambler should wear as a guide at all time, have the consciousness and awareness at all time, this is the best way to guarantee a safe gambling habit at all time.

Gambling addiction is something that is very trickish, it comes very subtlely in a manner that gambler won't even know it, this is why we sometimes, find a gambler who is addicted, but to them, they are not, they feel that they are still gambling normally like everyone else, but in real sense, they have gone overboard.

So, to avoid the chances of getting addicted to gambling, wear self examination as a guide whenever you are gambling, have the consciousness and awareness of every gambling move and decision you make, be proactive in thinking In this regard, this is the best way to go about this, self examination in gambling, like I said before, should never be a once in a while thing.

I think it's not being able to self examine our gambling habit is like gambling irresponsibly.

Before we decide to gamble, we have to ensure that we evaluate the risk, ask ourselves if how much we can afford to lose, and then we play using that budget, depending how often we gamble as long as we don't go beyond the budget. Gambling addiction normally take place when you are gambling outside your budget as that will create a challenge for you to recover your losses and without you knowing you already begin to chase your bets, betting more than you can afford to  lose. The simple answer is we have to be responsible every time.

You’re right buddy and I do agree with you that a lot of gamblers especially from this side of the world don’t even pay attention to self examination and just believe everything is under control until it gets out of control.
I think as a gambler, it is best we at every point try as much as possible to examine ourselves and analyze our performances which includes weighing our losses and our profits, so as to know when to pause and take a breaks and when to continue.

Most gamblers don’t even understand what it means for one to examine he or herself.
To self examine oneself simply means that one has to analyze their performance over a period of time based on several factors which might include:- how many hours they spend gambling, their profits and losses, how they spend their profits and several others, so as to stay in track of one’s mental, physical and emotional being.

This should be common sense to everyone that's putting money towards gambling. To be able to review your history and see what your profit and loss has been historically is actually really important to be able to assess if you've been gambling responsibly. More so also, some people might bein slight profit but that might have happened through enormous risk that were too big for their income level.

Risking savings with gambling is something that should be avoided in general. So if someone sees that he has been missing out on saving, or hurting his savings, then he should cut back perhaps, or even stop gambling all together if compulsion doesn't help him.

Sad truth though is, some providers offer very limited access to this valuable data. So in my view, if you're going to gamble in a platform and consider staying there long term, it's a good idea to consider if it offers full access to your history.

Every after betting we must examine ourselves in short we need to analyze if we gonna chase more win or not. Anyways we must have a self discipline and self control in order to prevent such losses. Cause everytime we gambler there's a chance that greediness will take over us and that must be not happen if we have self control. Cause we are all know what's happening if we let greediness take over us. So we must examine our self

It's been a while since I last gamble. I became busy due to work so I didn't have much time to play. Moreover, because of the price increase of Bitcoin, I also refrain myself not to spend it so I can gain more if ever the price continue to soar high. Anyway, it's really crucial to examine ourselves to know if we're still playing in moderation or maybe we're already exceeding on our set limit. Because we can prevent ourselves becoming addicted if we have discipline and aware of the limitation everytime we gamble.

Because they always think that they are fine and there's no need for any help that's why some gamblers didn't know that they are approaching to be in addiction state but they are still denial unto this situation. If they could only asses the situation and know that they are doing to much on their activities for sure they will never do any destructive behavior which can affect other people. But this doesn't happen on newbie gamblers since there expectation on gambling is so high and usually those people who realize about things they are commonly occur on experience people. So for things not to come in late situation much really better if we could learn to other peoples experience and be open on possibilities so there's no excessive things can harm us and we can continue to enjoy our daily activities.

If you are used being a responsible gambler, you will easily determine whenever you cross the line and head to gambling addiction. Your mindset will change, your actions and decision making will also change directions. And you are more chasing of your losses, which if done consistently, will only end up in huge losses. This is why having a regular examination of your gambling habit is a must. You don’t want to gamble and completely lose your control and become all out in gambling, that will certainly put you at a high risk of losing. So if you can check your gambling habit every now and then, it’s better you comply to that before you see yourself losing and regretting in the end.

A gambler may not be able to detect his behavioral change without the aid of a close friend. Able to figure out the changes in the life of the player. When our behavior changes, we tend to involuntarily follow it and execute different lifestyles. Only those who watch this can say that a person's behavior has changed. The person can also decide to change their behavior. In such an instance the person would know his behavior changed. But, in gambling the player wouldn't find out his behavior started changing, and won't believe it easily if another body confirms the changes. That's why a lot of gamblers don't get to feel it when running out of money, generally. The self-examination works fine and will facilitate a player to notice these changes.

However, a player who tends to be on the right track by wagering a smaller amount isn't doing the wrong thing but buys more time to enjoy his gambling session. That doesn't mean low rollers don't get addicted. It all depends on the psychological stability of the gambler.  As you said the small amounts can amount to millions over a period of time. Hence, both the high and low rollers need to stay carefully observant of their finance. Ending up broke due to gambling is painful, but not realizing it is worse. It's addiction, and anyone who gets addicted, regardless of his financial category is in trouble and would lose lots of money. That's why I'm encouraging players to participate in the self-examination and save themselves away from addiction and recklessness.

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.
