This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:
Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.
Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling?
Being in the right frame of mind can be key and not just thinking in terms of intoxicants. If you are angry or feeling rushed, it can effect how you decide to play, especially in games like poker which can require the utmost patience. If you fall into tilted behavior during the game you should be able to identify it and pull back or simply decide that you will leave the game. Identifying how long you can gamble for without losing concentration is a good idea as well, if you think you're on a winning streak in your first 2 hours of play - it can be true - but then get tired and hand it all back plus extra, then the whole session was net negative, which can be damaging on your long term earning potential.
I believe it is never going to be a problem if people take 100% accountability and controls their own mind. First of all, people should understand that gambling is for crazy rich people. It is not a way of earning. Secondly, if you were losing, just don't do it. There are a lot of people who actually are good at it. They see their own cards and predict which card their opponent has looking at the moves they make. But not everyone is like that. A lot of people just put their money on the line and try to get some more money out of it without even knowing anything about gambling. if you are losing, just stop gambling. And if you are winning, are you actually at net positive?
I guess when we start gambling, we should have the right mind set.
But as a newbie, it's very difficult to do that, that's why majority feel into that deep coma of becoming an addicted gambler and can't get out.
It will really take a lot of psychological stimulus to quit, let's say you lose a job, or worst, family breaking up because of your addiction or suddenly you decided to change prioritized in life.
So very difficult and even if you stop, there could be tendencies as in other addiction for a relapse and then you go back to gambling again.
Some newbies fall into addicted because they don't have guide or else they will spontaneous in their works and that's the reason why they will got into addiction. Also they don't have discipline and self control . Cause the main way to avoid addiction is you must have self control you will set your mind into a good one you don't need to act like a pro but you need to control yourself cause by doing that you will be far from addiction.
I like it because you say many keys, discipline, self-control, for me that is the management of everyone in a casino, when we enter a casino we must consider those things, newbies especially when they enter a casino for the first time, Your thoughts can be of excitement, fear, of many things, at the same time it can be very positive, because it is the first time that you will see so many games and that you can play them all if you want, where obviously you will have a lot of faith in winning, it has happened that when you enter A newbie in a casino does not know what to play or how to do it, so he proceeds to observe, which is a very good technique, and for that, different things are done, when the person already feels safe he simply decides to play. something, at least when I entered a physical casino it was like this, and with all the fear in the world because I played roulette, others may decide to play a slot machine or any other game that catches their attention, this is basically a matter of luck, also if it starts A player at roulette may like it because he experiences another type of feeling and may make it appear to him that that is what he likes, and he begins to bet and bet, making his money little by little go away, and that is where The first problem begins because when you bet a lot you can go too far and if you don't have adequate control you can spend all the money at once.
These types of things are what we as players must avoid, because the first thing we must control is our balance management because without money nothing is done, and that is what we as conscious people must consider, the second thing that comes in is the autocontrol, because without self-control everything can go to waste, it may be that the case is that you are winning a lot, you have a good profit and you start to lose, the mistake is always in betting a lot on each loss, because that's how it is As the balance begins to go down quickly, it is incredible but to make a profit it takes time, but to lose it is all at once.
