Self control is one thing most of these gamblers lack that usually gets them to end up incurring further losses in the bid to recover they which they might have lost gambling, if they have the ability to control their self enough to know when to stop and when to play ,it will help a lot.

When they win some of them gets too excited and feel they can further double their wins and want to further continue until they eventually loose their wins and sometimes even get to their capitals and in worse case, some even loose their capitals aswell before they will finally come to the realization they have been reckless and irresponsible with their stakes but by then it's already too late, that's why it's important to have a plan and strategy to guide you as you gamble.

Your tips are really good to hear but I don't think it will have any effect on those who are addicted to gambling for money. I think one of the ways to be responsible when gambling is to set a limit in the beginning when you go to gamble that you can afford to lose. Newbies who are getting into gambling should follow this rule in the beginning.  Moreover, one more thing should be remembered that the greediness is the cause of sin and sins is the cause of death.  Do not be greedy while gambling.

I think that is not unusual and indeed that is always the problem and the starting point for a gambler to enter the actual addiction phase, it happens because as you said that they have difficulty applying self-control or even not bringing any precautions at all, so it is only natural that they can enter the addiction phase. Of course, there are also some other reasons or other factors that encourage them not to apply self-control properly such as too much hope for a victory that is clearly difficult to get.

In addition, they will usually be able to stop in one session when they have completely run out of strength in their finances, if there is still money left in their wallet or account then gambling can be said to be not over, they will think and assume "it's okay to put a little more" but did you know that they said that more than once? And obviously as you said if calculated then the amount will be large or even very large, if that is the case then this is not a pleasure activity but a place to squander money for something uncertain, so of course discipline, management and self-control the main thing that must be emphasized.

This is problems most people are facing today why because they are able to control their hunger for winning back their lost funds, when you are able to control this force at any point in time you can easily bet with what you deposited or what you went to the casino house after losing your funds, but what happens at times is that when they gambling and possibly make i little profits they tends to seems their luck is near or possibly they can get more winning if they continue gambling without knowing is their part way for losing all their profits.

That's true and only an experience gambler will understand this, when you mean that there is a force that is behind gambling  because many people tend to loose their first and initial plan of withdrawing funds if they have secured a win. I can remember the number of times that I went to a gambling house with my friends on which we went to pass out time and blow off some steam and actually pass time while gambling and before we knew it the situation turns all good and we actually earn some good profit in our gambling. But the issue now is go with the winning as it seems that a force keep compelling us to continue playing and before you know our bankroll is fucking out and back to square one again.

Have you forgotten that there is a force behind everyone gambling?
Yes! You can say no but I will tell you for free that there are people who can't control themselves whenever they are in a casino house or even online because they have access to their credit card, maybe their fund stored in a wallet. They can transfer whatever amount they felt can be used to gamble knowing too well such amount is little and doesn't worth anything to them but if you calculate and sum up those money spent on gambling you would see that they've actually wasted money and this your tips make not help at any point. What just happened is that we needs disciplines to be able to control ourselves from losing heavily.

The gambling niche demands unique strategies, and participants must utilize ideas as it suites them. Generally, money management and discipline is the key to responsible gambling. Placing a paper on the computer screen, as a remembrance, may have been the right thing for OP, not to be carried away. Gambling works in a way that winning can lead us to think out of our discipline. So, when chasing losses the piece of paper can help the player to recall that he's about making some gambling mistakes, which can ruin his bank roll. Although, not every gambling would let this strategy work for them, as their individual family rules differs. People act according to the home they were trained. Therefore, we shouldn't expect advise or strategies such as this to be reasonable to every gambler. Personally, I don't think of doing it, despite being a good idea. Those who completely trust in such strategy, can give it a try and share the results. A player who already controls his finance, don't require reminder to stop gambling. The little balance he's got will forcefully stop him, when it's exhausted. Which strategy, remains the best for gamblers. As abundance of money in our balance, is the primary reason gamblers get swayed of their initially discipline to stop at a specific moment. Or when they get a significant win.

Being responsible in gambling seems easy but practically it is the most difficult thing for the gamblers to adhere to and that is to remain disciplined.

If it was that easy, everyone would be responsible gamblers and no one would have lost money in gambling but the fact is otherwise. We are so much controlled by our emotions that it becomes very hard to follow the basic principles of being a responsible gambler. There is a very thin line between the gambler being responsible and the gambler being addicted and i am afraid that most gamblers fall in the category of being addicted and very few being the responsible gamblers.

Also, taking gambling as entertainment and fun is the least found in gamblers, most of gamblers take gambling as a serious way to make money and some may treat it as their profession, a totally wrong approach.

The most important thing is controlling your nerves. Make a budget for your gambling needs and never overdo that.
Gamblers do have a strategy and a plan. The problem arises when they go out of their plans rage betting or betting reckless or due to a bias. The difference on crypto and real cash could also be a reason why people tend to gamble recklessly when it comes to online betting.
The best thing is to keep your mind agile at all situations. Don't gamble when you are intoxicated. Gambling should be taken as an entertainment unless you are a professional.

Yes, but this tip will work for responsible players, they are usually consistent in carrying out their gambling so as not to go out of bounds, that's why they often limit their budget and also limit their time for gambling so they don't get addicted to gambling easily, because it's difficult to cure if they are addicted to gambling, that's why gamblers those who are responsible will always be consistent with the way they play.

In contrast to those who are irresponsible and wasteful from the start, of course it will be difficult to try to fight against the direction of becoming a responsible gambler, it takes time to change bad habits into better habits, that's why never try to gamble beyond limits, gamble wisely and responsibly answer, because it is a safe way to avoid addiction.

I believe gambling is something that should be experience because no matter how hard I have tried to advice someone to stay low on gambling due to the risk and addiction that it's involved, it always feel as if am just wasting my time and the thing is just frustrating so I let them do whatever they feel is good because the best teacher to anything is actually the experience you have gotten from gambling and so many people all learn this the hard way.

Changing the algorithm or something like that to change the results of a game within a casino is not possible, nor can you win by making the best patterns, it is because the advantage you have in the house, the advantage of the house, will always be Programmed. the house is everything , for that reason we as players must take advantage of those small advantages that we have to play and win, which is not the entire time, this makes me remember when I was in College that we went to a physical casino, and some They learned one Combination and I learned others and that's how we determined when and how a number or color could fall on the roulette wheel, it was somewhat tedious, because I didn't see roulette as a form of fun but as another subject of mathematics and physics, so I didn't see it. It was not at all pleasant to have one more and with calculations that did not show profits, and after we were no longer accustomed to it because we already had another vision, it was something normal.

So just change the algorithm, no, and something that cannot be done, and that a particular game could have a misconfiguration and change the house advantage, I don't think so, maybe they can vary but by increasing the house advantage, that was the way that it could be confused, in addition to this I always realized that there were the same people in the casino, almost every day the ones who frequented the casino were the same people, the same faces, of course with people who visited the casino again time or another that I had not seen, but it was mostly on weekends, in particular I Always liked to go , because I felt comfortable with the atmosphere of the casino, it was Always unusual meals, all kinds of foods, it was possible eat, have lunch, have dinner, everything and it was pleasant because everything was music from the Machines , from the roulette wheels, slot machine s, everything, people screaming, because anyone could and wanted to live, it was like entering another knot, a world where no He wants to go out because Everything was very Comfortable.

Yes, that's right. There are rich people who won't care about their money and all they want is to gamble it even if it means they are losing. Just watching the high rollers on how much bets they are making, makes my eyes go wide because I cannot do those things. But a part of me says I am glad I don't which means I am still a responsible gambler.

In my case, it's a simple reason why I don't waste money. I just look at my kids and I think about their future, I'd rather put that money in their savings than risk doubling it or losing it all. I would rather not do that because the chances are so slim to double your money in betting in just one roll.
Some can do that but just imagining the frustration and stress that it will give to me if ever it lose, I might not even take it. Worse, sleepless nights will bring down my health if I keep on thinking about it.
That's why we should always remember to only gamble what we can afford. Don't go wrecking your savings or the money that is reserved for your kids future.

Tips like this are unlikely to work for those who are not responsible for their gambling activities from the start. Gamblers who are responsible for their gambling are those who are disciplined and understand their responsibilities. And if from the start they are undisciplined and don't understand their responsibilities, it seems that it will be difficult for them to be responsible when gambling, especially for those who usually don't understand how to manage money and are wasteful.

I do understand that some people do feel that way, but there are tons of people who have tens of millions of dollars and they do not really care about it all that much. I feel like we need to arrange something that will change it on the long run. I hope that people could see the difference between people who are having hard time paying their bills and people who could lose 10 million dollars and absolutely nothing in their life changes.

That's a true difference between people, if you are making a bit of money and you are having trouble, then you are going to end up not gambling that much, for the past 2 years I had sickness in family, there is one now too, and I am going to be in HUGE debt, and I think it is going to be preventing me from gambling, whereas some rich dude may gamble 10 million dollars away and he wouldn't even care, money that could save one of my loved ones life, would be just one day fun for that person, it is unfair but it is the reality we live in.

Yes, you are right to control everything in us because it will save us from many bad things that can happen in gambling. We must not become gamblers who are addicted to gambling at all costs because being a gambler who is addicted to gambling is very difficult to cure. We really limit and tighten the rules we make so that we can learn to be responsible when gambling and avoid bad things that might happen.

It is difficult to maintain self-control while gambling because it tempts many gamblers and eventually, many of them fall into gambling without knowing how to stop it. But with continuous practice and, strong intention and determination to become a responsible gambler, we can definitely do it and can use gambling as we should.

When someone wins some money, his greed will be greater than before and will prompt the gambler to continue gambling and say that luck is with him. He should use it as best as possible even though it is a temptation that tells him to continue gambling instead of resting and can cause him to experience losses and lose his winnings. A gambler must know his limits when playing gambling so that he does not violate his limits and can still enjoy gambling as entertainment. Otherwise, he will only lose more money and will not be able to recover the money even if he has to deposit more money. He shouldn't gamble too often to avoid gambling addiction problems that could come to him because he needs to be responsible for himself and be able to manage his money for gambling so that it does not exceed his limits.

Nah, I don't think it works. Might work for some, but for majority it won't for sure. That hard earned money you've got only reminds you that nobody can stop you from wherever you want to spend them because it will be the reward after that hard work you've done to satisfy your needs and desire.
So, if a regular gambler basically work his ass out as hard as he could to accumulate more money to feed his gambling desires, do you think that makes any sense to them?
Gambling responsibly comes from a critical thinking along with the sense of responsibilities. I don't believe something could stop someone from overspending in gambling if that person wants to. It should always be held with responsibilities and it does not need any reminders, a note, or anything like that.

Perhaps ideas are better shared in a playful manner and that's how it get stuck in the mind  Funny how you said to stick a papper in front of your monitor and that's for a gambler who gambles at the comfort at their home. What about those who goes to the office? Don't you think the office owners who loose customers if they write something of that nature in front of their monitor. This will make a customer to stop gambling whenever they have used the money they planned for it. By so doing gamblers will be cautious enough to avoid the addiction that comes with gambling.

When someone finds an urge to do something so great it’s beyond control, then it’s likely an addiction. And people who are already addicted would always gamble irresponsibly forgetting for a moment, money has to be earned and how it doesn’t come easy.
I doubt they think much about the amount they’ve lost and how much work needs to be done to earn such an amount. In some cases, like you noted, they are being given money by someone else and won’t value such money as they didn’t work for to earn it.
I think with an addiction, irrespective of if the money is theirs or someone else’s, they have just one thing in mind and wouldn’t think much than to use that money either ways to feed the addiction.

OP, I am 100% with your advice. When a gambler is winning the game, actually controlling his greed becomes a big factor. At that time no tide can control itself. Later he can't win, just keeps walking. Because as the saying goes, "For greed is sin, for sin is death". And the one who can control himself, set up his mind and convert his mind to the other side, suspend his mind from the game, at the end of the day is considered the winner. So, a gambler must have some advice or some vision fixed, that I will play 1000 dollars every day and not more than 1000 dollars, even if I lose I will not play. And if I win 1000 to 5000 dollars, then up to 5000 dollars, I will not play. Above $5000 I will not be greedy anymore. Or the advice may be different, that a gambler should not bet more than three or five or seven in a day, even if he wins, he should stay up to seven, even if he loses, he should stay up to seven.


It's very good thinking for control thyself. If people control their mind, greed, and emotions then obviously they'll achieve their success.
