Just like how I managed to diet? yes this is also my strategy when I struggled to adjust my meals each day.

I put a Note in front of Refrigerator and in our table  and also in Kitchen stove , reminding me of how much or the amount of food I  can take for me to maintain my dieting .

and also I have listed all the necessary foods that I love but with how much can only take per meal , aside from not buying Sodas and artificial juices in groceries .
Indeed mate that I succeed my target and yes, this can be what the gamblers can do to maintain their limits in gambling,

what a valuable share that Hope can be adopted by many that struggles in gambling .

It's a good idea and my thinking is quite similar to yours. If I need to do something important and if there is a possibility that I might forget it, then I write it big on a site on my mobile screen or on a site display on my monitor screen so that I don't forget that task. This strategy can be a good move for a new gambler to not gamble with extra money but I think it is a better strategy if the gambler is aware enough. No matter which way a person earns money, it is not easy at all. I have seen many gamblers who lose the amount of money they earn in a month by just one gamble, it is a huge loss. If we are afraid of a gamble then it is better not to gamble, rather we should gamble with a smaller amount of money where our chances are higher. Even if you make a mistake by gambling with a small amount of money in the first instance, there will be no chance of a big loss.

Setting limits and having a clear budget can help us avoid making impulsive decisions or chasing losses. Even if one have a lot of skill and strategy, there is need to remember that gambling is always a risk, and you should never gamble more than you can afford to lose. However, the problem here is not about setting limit or budget but keeping to this budget you set has always been the problem with gamblers and it doesn't matter whether you're winning or losing. If you are winning, the joy and the spirit of that winning will push you to play more and if you are losing, you will play to likely recover the losses and before you realize, you have exceed your limits. Self control is actually the key here thou it's not easy to do but one must learn how to control themselves in order to become a successful gambler.

It mostly depends on what kind of gambling community or social media you spend your time on, to be honest. Someone who spends most of their times sharing and reading personal experiences around here on the Bitcointalk forum will eventually learn how to be more responsible with their money, how to manage their wager and will encounter some testimonies which will enrich their experience as gambler. On the other hand, someone who only expends their time on Twitter or mainstream media may only receive information about the big wins influencers and YouTubers have, because let us face it, it is easier for anyone (specially those influencers) to share only the positive side of their life, they would lose 10k$ to a casino during a session and won't share anything about it, but as soon as they recover 5k$ all of the sudden, then they quickly take their phone to share it on Instagram.
That is how someone can build much of fake expectations when comes to gambling from the experience of others, which can only lead to disappointment and problems with money.

By allocating money for gambling, we will definitely be fine, especially if we also have good self-control so that we will not experience any problems during or after gambling. We can feel the pleasure of gambling, and when it is time to stop gambling, we can immediately stop gambling without any burden and leave the casino without looking back or wanting to continue gambling. We will also use small bets when gambling because we don't want to lose money quickly, especially since we still want to enjoy gambling for a while longer. But when the time to stop gambling comes, we can definitely close the game and leave the casino.

That's why we have to have a budget for gambling and a limit on how much money we can use to gamble so that we won't lose too much. With self-control and limits, we can become responsible gamblers and will never cross those limits because we already know the risks if we cross the limits. We will only consider gambling as entertainment without any desire to try to make money from gambling because we know it will not be easy for us.

The forum and communication helps, I even noticed this myself. Staying alone with gambling, there is a very high chance that it will ultimately destroy us if we bet uncontrollably and bet more than we can repay without resorting to debts or loans.

On the one hand, someone might argue that by immersing themselves in an environment of communication with people like them, gambling addiction can progress. A thinking but dependent person will eventually re-read a huge amount of information and unsuccessful examples of other players and try it on himself. This will allow you to get out or understand important things for responsible gambling.

Yes, you are right, seeing the experiences of people around us will make us more careful and responsible and that is a fact because I see many gamblers around me going bankrupt and some have even managed to stop their addiction, the more negative effects we see from those people. Of course, the gamblers around us will help us be more mature in playing gambling so we don't focus on our emotions when gambling but have fun.

But on the other hand, what about those who are far from other gamblers or say those who like to play alone at home without socializing with other gamblers or making friends, so it is difficult for them to learn from the experiences of the people around them, but apart from that, they also have to be able to learn from this forum. or other sites where many people might share information about their losses from gambling so that it can also help to gamble more responsibly and wisely.

There are times when chasing losses some gamblers can be overwhelmed with emotion consequently will always ignore any paper money sticked in front of the monitor infact some of them would completely remove it because they wouldn't be able to control themselves at that moment this wouldn't work at all, the best bet is to deposit small fund which is the amount of money you can afford to lose and remain disciplined while betting with small money to avoid being addictive, well this idea might possibly work for some people, however It would not work for majority though from my own perspective

Even though we try to use strategies or steps not to overdo it or become addicted to gambling, if it is not balanced with a good sense of responsibility and control then the results will be in vain because the main factor is ourselves, if only ourselves. the thought of gambling is for entertainment, in my opinion it will not be a big problem in his life is that he will gamble if necessary, but if in his mind he gambles to get money then he will continue to gamble without thinking about anything about the risks resulting from excessive gambling all he thinks about is money and money.

That's right, if you want to be responsible when gambling then look at the gamblers around us, their experiences will encourage us to always be careful and disciplined in every step when gambling.

Yes that's right, one of the actions to save is to stick to our own original plan, we have made it and I'm sure they have planned something that they think is best for themselves. One of the mindsets that you must emphasize at the beginning in my opinion is never be tempted by things that look tempting when you have started gambling because it is very likely that it is a trap so that you do not get out of gambling and continue gambling, another thing in my opinion the most important thing is to determine your smallest budget, because that will help you to become a responsible gambler, and also never get too much hope in winning because it is very difficult and if you are too serious then usually the opposite happens, you will actually suffer a lot of losses there, and also yes set the mindset that gambling is nothing more than a fun activity.

That's the basic point that I think every gambler should emphasize so that they don't experience things that are unwanted and unexpected. Of course that's because as you said that losing your hard-earned money is very painful when all of it is gone in just one session. Therefore, as I said above, you must do all of that and be firm, and never borrow because it will only make your situation worse.

People have different strategies and things that they use in order to defeat certain things, and in the aspect of self-control, I don't see this working for me.
 
There are people who even come from their hustling ground, I mean, where they suffer to get paid at the end of the day, and when they finally get this payment, they move from the place where they receive the salary straight to a gambling shop and make bets with the money.
 
Is it that such people have forgotten how hard it was for them to make the money? Is the stress easily forgotten? If someone can do that, even the cash note in front of him won't add any value or make any difference in the aspect of self-control. It could also get to the point where they can even start thinking about converting the physical cash into their gaming account and gambling with that if they are gambling online and not in a physical casino shop.

It's true, we are only in the game, we are spending a lot of money , what is Advised is to wait and not continue any further, because Obviously things when it comes to losing money are not good, I could say something that is difficult easy to do but it is very effective, because when you are in a very good streak and we are trying to achieve it and the bad streak comes, you just leave everything like that, retire and then if you can withdraw the money, because it is the only one It's worth seeing that what has been done has results, just like in the Physical cases where if you finish what you have to do is withdraw your money and if you want you leave a small Recognition to the person at the game table or something , or who cares for you, but it is recommended for this to always take into consideration that for the game it is good to win the money and not gamble when you start to lose, because the losing streak is very long, you will always be lost unlike the Winner who is so short, so in this order of ideas we must be very Intelligent when playing,

For any type of person, what they want most in a casino is to be able to be aware of what is going to be done, everything when they enter they enter with very high hopes of being able to win, there is no doubt about that for that reason we have to Do everything possible not to spend our money just like that, always take care of it, if each person before entering a casino made a budget just for the casino, then things would not deviate so much towards the sense of addiction and people who become addicted. They go towards this thing that is so difficult, I would think that the things that are not about doing everything for a single purpose because that is what can be gained or at least enjoyed healthily, if the weight has no risk of falling the addiction is what is sought, for that reason we have to be very careful with our money, when it is with money anything is delicate.

sticking to the initial plan, is something that every gambler must implement if they don't want to experience big losses, I also slowly always try to set a strategy at the start of gambling and will always try to stick to it, losing money when gambling is very painful, especially if we until you have to borrow money or use your savings to gamble, that's even more painful, so it's the responsibility of the gambler to prevent falling into poverty due to gambling.

There is no need to regret your losses, it’s as if you are eating yourself from the inside. Over time, this accumulates and we become more nervous, we begin to sleep poorly, quarrel with angry people and take out anger on them. Ultimately it can lead us to very bad consequences not only in the game, but also in our lives. Of course, this is not easy to think about, but you need to think less about it and focus on winning and reducing losses.

That's true. If you need to use such "talismans" to remind yourself of money, you either are really addicted, or really poor.
A person doing this should start by getting some professional help, or at least talking to someone who is a healthy gambler, to see how they react to this. If a number of people tells you that it's dumb and you're probably entering a downward spiral, believe them. Use that as a warning that you should stop playing.

I feel like OP is using that bill to legitimize his addiction, telling himself that everything is fine as long as he keeps looking at the bill, but it's not fine.

I got this idea while trading because while trading i behave like these numbers are nothing but just digital numbers.
After getting some loses I start to worry about lost money which was lost because of not valuing money and making mistakes, breaking plans.
It helped me by controlling my bet sizes and not taking huge bets to recover some dollars of losses. I don't know it helps others or not but I wanted to share.

Anyone who has to place real paper money note in front of them while gambling is the early warning sign of potential gambling issues. Simply say, if you have to remind yourself that you should be having fun, then you are not having fun. A pragmatic solution to this is to establish a dollar limit before gambling and adhere to it. Decide on a time limit before starting and leave once that limit is reached, regardless of wins or losses.

But your extra money for sure is a portion of your hard earned money. Also there's this thing wherein the easier you earned it, the faster it would be spent. Best thing to do is to gamble an amount you can afford losing. A simple statement but complex if we would break it down ‘coz no one would really afford losing in the first place. Definition of this phrase is to bet an amount that if it lose, you will have no problem at all and you won’t be having problems of losing it. Instances which imposes the opposite is betting your borrowed money; if you lose you will still have to pay it which means you quite lost 2 times. Unlike with just betting in line with your tolerance and financial capability.

This is completely true and I totally agree with you, it is commonly said that, as our faces are different, so is our desires, so do we react to different issues differently, and also, so does the same thing mean differently for most of us.

Responsible gambling is in the mindset for some people, and for others, it's in their pocket, what do I mean by this? For some people, based on their upbringing and the way they got in to gambling, they are naturally programed responsible gamblers, it is already installed in their mind to never gamble above their limits.

While for some other people, responsible gambling is in thier pocket in the sense that, they only become, or act like they are responsible gamblers only when they are short of money, when they lack money, they try to manage themselves by gambling within their limit, but immediately a significant amount of money comes their way, they lose themselves, and start gambling way above their limit.

I know this from experience, I have a friend like this, who is only responsible, or pretend to be a responsible gambler when he lacks money, but any week enough money comes into his hands, he will become really crazy with gambling. We have many gamblers who are like this.

Yes and one of the things that makes the tips useless is that they don't bring any discipline to their gambling and also like you said everyone has different ways and brings different feelings to their gambling. I guess that could be the reason why some of the effective tips seem useless. You have a good way of putting your family and responsibilities in front of the screen, which can indirectly make you think twice about putting money into gambling.

The way you use it is quite good, but what we have to know is that not everyone can do the same thing, what you think is effective enough to prevent yourself from gambling but it is not necessarily useful for other people who have different personalities, and also yes it is not uncommon for them to think wrongly, as you said that there are also some gamblers who are actually motivated by their dependents' situation which makes them end up even more crazy in gambling because they always think that it will give them a win to help make ends meet, but the actual fact is not at all.
