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.

While an external source which reminds you to not bet too much may seem like a good idea, when you try to put it into practice it does not work, and the reason for this is that if you really want to keep gambling then you will find ways to circumvent it, this is why measures like self-exclusion do not work as people can always create another account on the same casino or even create an account on a different casino and keep gambling on this way.

You're right; the first step to keeping your money in order is to view gambling as entertainment. However, how many people genuinely adhere to this golden rule, let's face it?

I'll tell you what happens: People get caught up in the excitement, make poor financial decisions, and end up getting themselves into debt that extends as far as the Mariana Trench. I concur that it's important to put your financial security first. Don't fool yourself, though; that's an ideal, not a frequent occurrence. The distance between understanding it and putting it into practice is as great as that between the affluent casino owners and the unsuspecting individuals emptying their pockets at the slot machines

I agree, limiting our budget will not be effective if we do not control ourselves. In the end, we will keep on gambling even if we have a limitation in our budget. A gambler will always think of taking back all the losses as long as he have some money in his bank. The best thing to do is to control or maybe there's someone that will help him to control himself like a relative or someone he will listen to.

Well it's true that budget restrictions for excessive things will always be an effective way, this is true not only in gambling but in real life it is also the same because surely one day we will also be in a position of urgent need for money, so budget restrictions are also very necessary, it is better to save it or save it to minimize your future needs that come unexpectedly. Well this is the same as gambling, so if you limit the money for gambling then it will also be very useful to reduce the amount of your loss if indeed the final result is not what you expected. Reducing your budget is easier than quitting, but by doing this budget limitation might make you slowly quit, it's possible.

Now I agree, gambling is nothing more than an act of fun and I think all gamblers especially newcomers should realize this, and it is also clear that whoever it is and whatever reasons they bring it will never be enough to support that they can make money there, especially with consistent results it is clearly impossible. And yes the key is just that as you said their mindset must be correct, just come for fun then I'm sure they won't be tempted by whatever is there, such a mindset indirectly and unconsciously already makes them avoid addiction. I think that's a good way,
by changing your mindset to be more rational in seeing gambling which is only about luck.

As long as we limit our budget, I think everything is good, but we need to control ourselves not to gamble too much, because if we follow greedy behavior, there will never be an end, we will continue gambling until our money runs out, especially if we win, we don't stop playing, that's all. Of course it will drain our winnings until they run out completely. It is important to control yourself before gambling.

Always make sure your budget and time for gambling are well limited because that is the basic step to avoid addiction because if you don't do that then we will easily get addicted to gambling all the time to fulfill our curiosity and greed, the point is to always limit everything so that we don't go too far in gambling. , there is still tomorrow to catch up on defeat.

So it depends on a person's mindset in using gambling. If they use gambling as entertainment, they will not chase winning because they will know it must be difficult to get. But we know that many people still use gambling to make money and there are even people who use gambling as a source of income. This will have an impact on that person so that he experiences a gambling addiction that he won't even realize. Gamblers who gamble too often and use too much money can experience large losses so they will try to recover their losses. And if he has gone too far in gambling while he only uses gambling as entertainment, he can stop gambling and leave gambling so that he doesn't become addicted to gambling. But even so, people will not do it because they have found pleasure from gambling so it is difficult for them to stop gambling unless they have strong determination.

We all know that. Not only in gambling but in simple living having a budget. It's very difficult and challenging to follow a simlpe budget for a week. Wat more when you have it on your gambling while being on the edge of your emotions getting hyped up. Recognizing that gambling should be a form of entertainment rather than a way to generate income is key. Those who can stay within their limits and view gambling as a recreational activity are indeed in a better position than those who don't. It's important for individuals to prioritize their financial well-being and not let the desire for quick gains cloud their judgment.

I might say sometimes not taking the risk in gambling is good because it will lead you to losses or having a calculated risk in gambling by risking the money that is enough for your gambling entertainment and not all of your money. You might get lucky and win the jackpot but still you need it in moderation. Set limits on your budget and if possible don't always play. Just also think that gambling is for entertainment and not a source of income, so that you won't be more greedy about winning the jackpot.

At least gambling has a budget limit so that you don't go over the limit and gamble too far, it should be like that, consider gambling just for fun, nothing more than that because that way we can be more controlled when gambling, exactly as you said, only we can control ourselves. yourself, not anyone else, to not become addicted to gambling.

Gambling will always have a risk. If we don't understand it, it will be difficult for us to accept defeat and continue to chase defeat because gambling is not always about winning, but really understanding what the risks behind it are, a healthy mindset will protect ourselves from addiction and also understand every the risks of gambling that we experience.

Not taking a risk is also a bigger risk in whole, and there is no way a person can say he wont take risk because of the fear of losing out in the bet, and this is not only associated with gambling alon, all other aspect of human life revolve around the same simple fact that risk is the fuel to all recorded success or failure in both.
But taking a calculated risk is what places you a hedge over others who just take the risk for the sake of gambling with their luck, and that has been the reason for the several disappointments and losses recorded over time.

We always think that things are normal in casinos and we go with friends, we do allow ourselves to be influenced by some of their things, by some advice, but it is because of the annoyance of having a good time, when we go with a group of friends We usually play just by chance, to laugh, but not out of concentration, in an online casino it is easier to concentrate but from what I have seen it is difficult for one with friends in a casino to concentrate, there are always people who influence a lot, especially the If he is the leader of the group, then when we are in a casino and in a group, we have to bet very little because it is a direct way to lose if there is no control.

You're right, having opportunity in gambling is not a one chance experience we have and we don't get such opportunity again, maybe it's because of these kind of mentality that some people do have and take on themselves that make them feel the more they keep attempting the more they see the chances of winning, but when we are going the more too far in this, we keep loosing more than we expected because gambling is full of risk and we bet base on the understanding that we may win or loss and not keep repeated attempts in other to win and we keep loosing.

This is very easy to say, but very difficult to do. If you are someone who is easily influenced by other people's words and the environment, then it would be better if there is something you need to limit, not just restrictions and control over the gambling activities you do and the money you spend on betting. The environment greatly influences the gambling activities you do, so limit your environment and friendships for a while. Until you can really control your emotions and have a strong "determination" so that you are not easily influenced by other people's words or the environment.

Well of course and indeed only self-control can help them there, victory can be obtained but defeat is clearly like a sure thing there. Yes that can be true, despair because of the difficulty of getting a victory there is very likely to interfere with their mentality, especially for people who are for example emotional ranges or easily provoked, it is certain as you said they will lose everything they have. Indeed, this is what is always feared, because if they are already emotional, they will definitely not think much or not think long to sell all the assets they have and regret will definitely come after that.

So indeed in gambling, anyone must have limits that they create themselves before plunging into gambling, because not only victory but loss is also very certain, so only that will help you, not others and not anyone else. Yes that's right, if they can do that then surely I think it will be far from addiction, so please understand all the risks and solutions before you finally jump in there, I think you will be fine there if your mind is only for fun.

without gambling capital, it is impossible for you to gamble, but do you have to use all the money you have to gamble! Of course not, setting a budget for gambling is very vital and when you run out of gambling capital, never incur debt or sell valuables, you will only lose even more money.

a fresh brain makes the right decisions, absolutely 100% agree that give your brain a break when you feel that the time you have spent gambling has been long enough.

The more you use drugs to strengthen your body's resistance to gambling, there is a 100% chance that you are increasing your own gambling + drug addiction.

In general, each player decides for himself when to stop playing and not start losing more and more. 
Te problem, however, is that making the decision to take a break or stop playing on a given day is not easy for everyone due to the state in which the person is. 
It seems to me that good advice when making a decision to stop playing would be the thought in your head that the casino itself will not disappear anywhere, it will work tomorrow and in a month and in a year... And you will still come to play at the casino again  time and now the moment has simply come when you need to wait a little until you again, so to spe ak, “enter the doors of the casino” and begin to enjoy the new game again.  And you may get it because something will change during the time that you had a break and the time that you waited when you decided to “leave the casino doors.” 
It seems to me that it is the hope of a good day in the game, which will be the next time you come to the casino, that helps you stop playing.

This is when discipline comes in place and we ought to be able to control our gambling activities so that we don't end up losing big at the end. There are some certain precautions we need to take to avoid greed and unnecessary activities which can lead to loses if we are not careful and plan for a better results. When we started making profits, it feels good and we see ourselves like a lucky and brave gambler but if we don't take things easy and keep gambling, we might start making loses which will change our mood again unfortunately.

The thing is that many times is so difficult to stick to the budget of losses, because people convince themselves that they can "recover" or that they will win because they have lost "so many in a row" that a "good strike" is about to happen, that it will be just a little bit more so it is not really cheating, etc... Humans are so good at making excuses.

The major cause of gambling addiction is the purpose of gambling that is to say the inner desire that is deriving the gambling activity.
For instance if someone is gambling for entertainment, they would not commit so much capital into gambling such that even if they lose their capital it will not affect them much because the capital was used in exchange for entertainment.
But if the mindset behind gambling is to make huge amount of money, you will understand that the gambler will invest so much capital and when they lose eventually they will want to chase their losses but in the end they will lose more and that is the surest means to become a gambling addict.
