Setting a budget is as crucial in gambling as water is in a fishbowl. The human psyche is fascinatingly stubborn. You win? "Fuck yeah, let's double down" You lose? "One more bet, and I'll fucking stop" Sounds familiar? Research has consistently shown that dopamine, our little "feel good" neurotransmitter, can be quite the sneaky character in gambling scenarios.

Your approach is commendable and, dare I say, academically sound. For anyone considering a foray into the glittery world of gambling, taking a page out of your book (or should I say timetable?) is a fantastic starting point.

Many gamblers think that they would not like to take the break when they are winning because they feel that this is their lucky time and therefore they can play more, luck is on their side and hence they can make more money.
However, i personally think that this comes under greediness that we are not happy with the winnings or even if we are happy, we want more money and more winning streaks.

We never know that the next games may turn out to be against ourselves and we lose the money which we already have won for the day.

One thing about gambling is that we shouldn't let it overwhelme our judgment in times of depositing, so I always draw a timetable on my gambling amounts which I will spend on either daily or weekly basis and it also applies on my wining ratios, I make sure even if I saw more good entries to gamble after my wining i always ignore it and take profits from the one I gambled because one thing about gambling is that no matter how many times you lose, something in you will always trigger you to gamble more in other realized the money you have lost and if you don't have control over it you could stand a chance of losing everything you have and that's when it becomes addict.

So like you said is good to control your deposit limits on gambling even if you win or not there should be a certain amount budgeted to gamble and shouldn't increase more than that.

For anyone who have consistently lose for let's say 3 or 5 days in a roll, it is not such a bad idea to take atleast, a week or a month break from gambling.
Gambling rules are very simple but the failure to play or gamble according to the rule is always grievous on the gambler.

For me , one and most important of this rule is to not gamble with money or an amount one can not afford to lose, it is the same rule that applies to crypto investment, where we tell potential investors to only invest as much as they are ready to lose since nobody can accurately predict what the price of the asset being invested in will be tomorrow or the next ..

So even if a gambler is gambling frequently, and he or she is always betting only as much as he or she can afford to lose, I think gambling will be very enjoyable for such a gambler .

Greedy behavior will not bring good for oneself in gambling, because in fact it will have fatal consequences in the end, that's why it's important to be able to control yourself, at least know when to gamble and when to stop gambling, because if we have difficulty controlling it, that's for sure. we will continue to gamble deeper and deeper and keep us playing too far.

Always limit any budget when gambling because it will limit us from becoming addicted. If we experience defeat and the daily budget limit has been used up, that should be a warning for us to stop playing, because if we continue it will not bring anything, be it wins or profits. Just use a healthy mindset by making gambling just for fun, not for making money. it will definitely help us to stop gambling for a while.

Recently I have been controlling the deposit money limit, and even if I lose money I never make a deposit twice in a game session, but what becomes ridiculous is when I get the win and continue to want to play, even though if I think logically it brings Everything that has been won is much better and more than regretting at the end when the previous winnings run out.

Strangely enough, feeling like there is nothing in gambling, on average my behavior after winning is always wanting more than what I have won before, therefore I am always curious and say 1 more time playing maybe I can get additional profits but the result is nothing.
It seems that the average gambler's behavior is like that, although there are some who are able to control themselves well, which is very cool.

Taking a break after making a big win in the casino is a good idea, and I would also recommend it to anybody that has lost money. Watching the same type of casino games for a long period of time is going to decrease our concentration and our focus. Especially when following betting strategies like the Martingale approach, where we have to adjust our gambling size for every bet it will be hard to keep our focus up for hours. There are many aspects we need to focus on in gambling, like controlling our emotions and not giving into negative thinking. The best way to remain in full control of our actions is to take a break and clear our head or sleep a night. Coming back the next day to the table won't change anything, the games will still be the same and our winning chances won't change either. Some people believe in winning and losing streaks, which is why they don't want to stop when they are having a lucky night. My approach is to always take some money aside when I win big, so I am not at risk to keep on gambling until all the winnings are lost again. It's good to realise that we have a problem in such areas and don't know when to stop and take a break. Identifying the problem is the first step to getting better and keep a closer eye on it to avoid doing the same mistakes in the future again.

 It is true that there is no prohibition against gambling because we must be able to regulate our gambling. If we want to gamble, we really have to be prepared for everything that will happen, including losing. But we can prevent large losses by limiting the money we spend on gambling and this has been done by several people who gamble because they don't want to experience large losses.

Being wise is very necessary before, during and after gambling, especially since gambling has an addictive effect that can make someone return to gambling even after they decide to stop gambling. And by being wise, we can think that we have had enough gambling and should rest and do other things.

Resting after winning big from gambling is always recommended because at that point, you'll be feeling too invincible and if proper steps aren't taken, you might end up losing everything if you continue betting. You could also win more but chances are it'll be losses you get.

Take a break and come back tomorrow or postpone for sometime because using same strategy that won you yesterday bets mightn't win you more bets and that's why gambling is very unpredictable and people lose because they think they can use a pattern and win always.

Don't be too greedy when you win big to continue gambling and don't be too desperate to win back all your losses when you lose because both times you get the worse results from doing any of the two things. As a gambler, always make yourself discipline just like a professional.

You have to be prepared for all the effects that will happen to you when you gamble. There is no prohibition on gambling because people before us in ancient times gambled to test how lucky they were that day.

How does one know the effect to be received? it's quite easy with the availability of an information room that can be accessed if someone doesn't dare to ask those who have gambled regularly at any time of the day 24 hours.
I like your advice to always be wise before everything changes.

I agree, I even once experience this so-called greed but I learned my lesson the hard way.  I was winning a huge amount during my slots session but instead of stopping and withdrawing the money I aim for higher winnings then I slowly lost the fund and triggered with chasing losses, I ended up emptying my bankroll.  After such experience, I always make sure that once i got a good amount of winning, I make sure that I will stop and withdraw it asap to avoid triggering my greediness.


true that, without self-discipline, we will only end up emptying our bankroll no matter how huge it is.  Self discipline is essential in moderating our gambling activities and responsible gaming.

This advice have been very helpful to me personally because since I started to apply some of the suggestions in ops I have started making better informed decisions in my gambling journey most especially in sportbook analyses and other few in house casino based games.

Most importantly in the area of taking a break in between the game session to free up your brain,  is very important to have that at the back pf your mind,  because having your brain congested can lead to a more drastic end most especially in the area of making decisions during the games.

Managing gambling addictions is a personal responsibility and those who already know the danger of addictions,  will possibly set mechanisms in place to protect themselves from sliding into addictions.

Dont look back as this is really my main rule or thing that following or being that discipline on sticking with this kind of concept on which on the time that i do lost a bet then i do simply move on and place another.
Keeping yourself that looking into those losses would really be that making you that desperate and this is something that you should really be avoiding in the first place because once you do make yourself that impulsive then this is where mistakes and errors would be starting.You would really be coming into a point that you would really be spending your money like a mad man and wont really be minding whether those funds came from your savings or emergency funds as long you would really be able to play then this is what your main priority would be. You will really be only stopping on the time that you wont really be having money on your pocket literally. Dont come into a point or wait for things to happen before you will stop on which this is where people do usually be taking up action when its already too late without even trying to reassess early about
avoiding it to prevent some potential damage.

Yeah controlling it is really painful mentally because you will be upset whenever you commit same mistake repeatedly while you knew exactly that you are wrong.

I’m a long time active gambler, My only way to counter it is to just forget about it and accept my mistakes so that I can move on my next game. I usually take a rest for a couple of days then try playing again without thinking my previous game. This way, I can focus on my game that is my key on winning to come back from my previous losses.

As long as you understand the risks, there is no problem, especially if you feel your winnings are greater than your losses, usually new accounts are always Yes, it's hard but it's all for something good for yourself, but if you really feel your wins are bigger than your losses, usually new accounts are always like that get wins easily and very quickly, but that's the casino's way of reading behavior player if you keep playing the game and get too deep then you will get stuck with it then it will be easy for you to get addicted.

But there's no harm in playing tomorrow and postponing the game when you win, nothing has to be done quickly and easily, everything needs to be a process if you've had enough then withdraw and cash it in, then come back in a few days to play again, I often do what You also do this when I feel my winnings are bigger then I continue playing and finally at the end of the game I feel a losing streak without winning, never mind the winnings, even the capital money is also gone, at that moment I realize they are reading my gambling behavior, my advice is don't too far for that. 

Taking steps to address issues such that relate to gambling addiction serious is the number one way to get out of addiction and for the gambler to be able to detect such over involvement also is one thing that really makes a big difference, and If the gambler is strong enough to stand up against all this addiction holds requires deliberate actions and that brings us back to my first statement of the ability of the player to address such crisis on time.
Most of those who have failed in the fight against addiction or gambling too much have an through unserious attitude toward the issue at times

Your case is typical of what is common among gamblers, even though they can recover the money they lost previously, they instead want to play again and have hopes of more profits because they won in the previous game, you are not alone sir, I often do this in games.
Even though I know I really should stop, feeling frustrated and wanting to try my luck again is the beginning of careless actions that result in losses. LOL

It's hard to control this feeling, I also haven't been able to control it, even if the profits I make are far greater than what I have lost in gambling, playing again tomorrow is the gambler's thought.

I can relate this with my recent experience. I do manage to chase loss amd gain some profit but the problem arise when I become in profit because I can’t stop myself to play more for more profit.

I manage to recover my 175$ loss by having a 2 consecutive day win of 100$ and 90$ that gives me 15$ net profit. I play again today because I have some free time and lose back again 100$. I’m always being careless whenever I’m on profit side which I really hate the most since I can’t change it. 

Facing reality when you are already engage too far, I think it's something that really affects the gambler, though just like what you mentioned, some are good in admitting with their mistakes and adjust in the sense that it will help them to lessen the amount of the money that probably they can lose while playing.

But in most cases, there are still many people who continue losing and instead of re-assessing what's happening, they keep on chasing their losses and push their way to keep betting and just repeated the outcome of losing more.

If that's the case, maybe you should really limit yourself from using more money. You can also stop gambling or completely reduce your gambling activities so that you don't lose any more money.

If you already allocate some money for your living needs, including gambling, you will see how much money you use for gambling. After that, you must not break the limitations of gambling.

But if you feel that playing gambling can make you lose a lot of money, you should really stop gambling and divert your mind to other things. You can certainly do well, especially if you already know the impact of gambling on you.
