Settings a limit to how much we can spend in gambling may not work out as expected in as much as we are having the money in our casino wallet account, the more we keep playing bet the more we finds it more interesting to continue with the attempts and have better chances of winning without minding the possible risk involved.

Gambling fun is an irresistible form of an entertainment whereby if started, it is is difficult to stop the fun except when there's no money to use up for more entertainment, thus is why what we can afford to loose should be the limit of what our casino wallet should have.

Yes, many times we have heard this tips, and I will tell you that some times even if I know this trick already, I will still succumb to play even more specially when I'm in a losing skid. So I will deposit just enough money to play, however, when I experienced a losing streak, very hard to control on my end as I will come back and chase or just recoup what I have lost.

But there are times that I was able to comeback and win some, but very hard when you lose your initial capital + another deposit. It will not feel good and I will say that I'm also affected mentality. Nevertheless, I can get back after a while and not be bothered by the worst experienced and just wanted to remember that not to overspend and just play what I can afford to lose.

Yes in other words have financial limits and also have financial management so that there are no irregularities in managing the money used for gambling and for daily needs including savings.
Not few gamblers fail to manage their finances so they use all their money to gamble without choosing between money for living savings and having fun like gambling.
People like that can be sure that they will only experience hardship and bankruptcy so that in the end they will not have anything to meet their living needs.

We know that the money they use is their own right to spend it on but here it is not about the rights or conditions they have but we are trying to provide awareness to gamblers who are still careless in their actions.

A gambler cannot easily keep a good sense of his position when competing with friends over gambling wins and losses. He is obsessed with how far his friends have progressed and how far he has progressed. There are some gamblers who often think outside the area about their gambling, trying to understand why they gamble. Many of those who come to this realization can turn away from addiction, but the number is very small. Clearance is very important for gamblers who are or have been addicted to gambling. Because it is difficult to get out of that circle of friends.

Although some say that nowadays online gambling is more convenient they can conduct gambling from wherever they go. But still, when the place is changed, by the touch of a new good company will definitely improve from the position. Which is almost impossible in the former gambling place.

Setting a budget is an important step in managing overall finances. This help maintain financial balance and prevents overspending in any activity, including gambling. By having firm principles and discipline towards your budget, you can ensure thats the financial decisions you make are within limits that can be managed in a healthy and responsible manner.
As well as maintaining commitment to a budgets will help you avoid debt trap and promote long term financial well being, so always be able to set a suitable budget and stick to it so thats if we experience defeat it will stop us and not chase those losses.

But in order to do what you've mentioned, the most important things are "discipline" and a strong mind. Why discipline? Simple: with discipline, you have full control over your mind. A gambler with strong discipline will not do things that exceed the limitation; an example is playing more even if you know where things will go. Strong mind, because every time you lose, you will not be swayed by your thoughts about playing more; maybe you will win and not notice that you are making yourself suffer. With those two concepts embedded in your mind, you may eventually be successful at gambling or earn more from it. Also, your greatest enemy will be your own mind, so better set boundaries and limitations so gamblers will not be swayed or make decisions that are not reasonable. And if gambling is just a hobby, then it's also a waste of my time. Find a suitable way to earn money for you.

Yes, I can understand what you are saying, indeed anything that is excessive will always be bad in the long run, even if it is done in gambling, the impact will definitely become an addiction and as I said before, having your own limits in gambling is very important to avoid various things. The bad impact that will occur if one day you bet too far or bet recklessly with a larger amount.
All of this must also require support from healthy mindset habits not to think too much about gambling as a place to earn something and with this healthy mindset a person will have more reasonable boundaries not to fall into gambling addiction.

There is a place for the above mentioned. However, there is another view from which one will consider not having value for what is left since he has spent all he has on gambling without budgeting and in most cases, what he has is less than what he has spent gambling.

I've been in such a situation before, I gambled without betting and I spent a lot and I just looked at what was left and just thought to myself, let me use it all since I've already used most of it, at least I know I used it on gambling.

This is a disastrous thought and budgeting helps curtail it.

I totally agree with you. If you think your friends or the people you frequent daily have a bad impact on you then you should stop seeing them and find other friends who have different hobbies and activities. This will let you realize how close you were to become an addict just because you were having fun with your friends and simply doing what they do without taking in consideration the harmful consequences. Those who have a strong personality don't need to worry about this.

Gambling is fun but you need to deploy a strategy that will help you control your addiction to gambling.

Always go to a casino gambling center with your gambling budget in cash and don't go with your ATM card so that you will not withdraw cash from the ATM when you finish your gambling budget.
.
Do not chase your losses in gambling, it is always tempting to keep on playing to recover the money you have already spent. The longer you keep chasing your losses the more you will lose. Know when to leave a gamble if it is no longer fun. You can also reduce how often you gamble by creating a timetable that will guide you on the days to gamble

It is a privilege to be going too far in anything and you see someone to call your attention to it, this does not have to be gambling alone, there are many things we do that aren't done in perfection not until someone took our attention on them, a responsible gambler us more likely bit to go too far in gambling because he knows what he's doing and how to control himself to the best of his behavior while gambling and not like someone who is uncordinated.

Setting a budget is quite okay because when you make budget  not only in gambling, it makes you stick to things that are within your budget and you have to be determined not to go against your principles no matter how tempting it is because I know there are times when one is in need of money so bad that immediately you lose a bet you might want to try more with the hope that you might win on several attempts.

And again avoid betting on too many events in one bet instead you can split the bet as there might be chances of succeeding in outcome of one of the event because the risk would be lesser compared to when you make so much accumulation

Well there are many people who when we make bets and go a little far away, we cannot control many things, for example when we are making a good and big bet, sometimes we lose it, our logic should tell us it is better to withdraw with money and not bet more, because the most likely thing is not to win, but it is not like that, it is quite the opposite, and that is that betting and betting and betting, for everything it is a bet, so when we do certain things in the caisnos we can have some control and get out, but those who don't, may be doing other things, for example I have seen as a person when they play and if they lose they can get a lot more money and so they get excited and continue betting very hard, the truth is I don't know how they can do it, like they forget the value of money and they can't do more, so when it comes to how to generate a better game, what they do is lose and lose, which I don't see well, so these types of things are not good to deal with like this, because they are worried about it. losing money is not good, who likes losing money? I don't consider anyone, the best thing that can be done is to have good control over things, for me it is essential to be able to do a good job with it, for many what they can do is that the more they bet the more chance of winning? Sometimes that doesn't happen, casinos don't consider that, the harder you bet, the casino knows it has to pay more and you won't win all the time.

Now many people talk about self-control, but self-control is not something that everyone has, it is something that many want to have but that is rarely taken, when it is known, some say that after the good streak is when they take the addiction, or after the good one. streak and the bad one begins, which it could be, but since everything is random I prefer to think that things are not like that, but rather that they go in a completely natural direction given to luck, for me there is no other complement to the house advantage.

Exceeding from what you should be doing will lead you to addiction, there's always a bad side-effect when you lose control in anything that you should be controlling, especially when in terms of gambling, there's a big risk getting too much engage with this activity, allowing yourself to enjoy and be entertained in the sense that you are not exceeding from your limitation is good.

But if there's already excess or I mean you already get attach and you can't control yourself, then things will be ruin apart, you need to think back and re-assess yourself before you go deeper and unable to resist everything that will damage yourself not only with your finances but also your mental health.

Let's face it, not all gamblers out there have a good grip on life. I guess that is not that different from other people that are not gamblers and do not either have a good hold on their life, but when you are gambling for fun it may be easier for them to go past the line because they have other problems around - family, money, work, relations,... All that ends up reflected in their playing.

Very true. Especially budgeting.

When you don't budget on what to spend, you'll end up spending everything with hope that the great wins are not afar, when, in reality, they might not be in sight that day.

Another will be, have metrics for gambling. Just like trading, if you have a setup, you'll always wait for your setup to activate any trade rather than jumping into the market.

Same goes for gambling and betting, ensure to have your metrics of gambling before you adventure into it. Lets say you want to bet on a team and that team has been unpredictable in that season, just stay out of it and avoid the risk.

Calling oneself to order will help a whole lots, this is because, gambling have so many factors that contribute and encourage it, just like the saying goes that birds of the same cliq always roll together, so to that extent, we have to first check our cycle of friends to see which of our per group is pushing us so deep into gambling and what can we do to avoid that, is to strictly separate yourself from them at some point to avoid any possible slid back when we trying to get yourself out of such mess of a situations.
So if we have to leave then we must make it at once and just get up a leave without looking back on anything that will take us back to the previous position we found ourselves at first being too muchly involved.

Someone who is already addicted will hardly have the time to appraise themselves. It is not only being addicted, when you have a group of friends who gamble with you and not even one of them say ill about gambling. I mean anytime any of you is called upon, there will be no objections. Maybe there is this competition among you to see who gets luckier and who losses the most. If this happens to you, just know that you are going extreme in gambling and the only way to deal with this is to reduce your association with those set of friends. If this cannot happen which I know it isn't easy to happen, try to relocate and meet different set of persons

According to what is said above, it is nice to always have a second thought about whatever thing you are doing in life.

You would really be crossing your limit on the time that you would really be tolerating that kind of urge of playing gambling or something that do talks that going beyond your limits and this is something that wont really be that recommended on doing so. If you are already on the state that you are spending too much or that really goes beyond on your financial capability then this one indicates that you are already addicted into it or something that do talks about going beyond with those limitations which sooner or later you would be able to experience those unfortunate situation which you didnt expect that it would really come into your life. If you wont really be making yourself that mindful and responsible in regarding with your actions then you would be really experiencing that bitter experience
towards your life. This is why moderation on everything would be crucial on which it isnt really just that for gambling but also in other things in life that everything which is excess would really be that
bad or something that you shouldn't really be doing since from the start.

Your answer is very interesting, too from the psychological perspective. I'm not an expert but I know that people usually believe what they want to believe, and nobody likes his "shadow", quoting Jung.

The level of self-consciousness and humility to admit one's flaws is really high, and most of us mortals struggle with it because of our own Egos. That's why external help is needed in most of the cases, because others can clearly see what one often denies.

I agree, btw, that satisfaction from real-world triumphs can be so high as the ones you get with any addiction, but after reaching certain point one needs to detoxify from certain practices and substances in order to start enjoying these more natural pleasures again.
