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.

Drugs and alcohol are strong directions toward gambling. A post here on BitcoinTalk is very unlikely going to change the habits of someone who is currently/regularly influenced by either of these things. The other tips are fine, however you are preaching to people who will probably look at the thread and continue on with gambling. I do hope that I am wrong and that your post does positively change someones actions for the better

There are many things that can influence gambling which we need to measure before going any further. Drugs and alcohol can influence us to bet more if we are already a gambler that is interested to make big profits. Gambling has different side and we need to know what we are doing so that we can control any common addiction that could trigger our addiction. When we ha e top much urge to make bigger profit, then we might to faced with the problem of becoming addictive to what we are doing. Working on addiction is not easy but we need to face our fears so we can be a winner to the core.

- don't believe 1000% and get motivated with gambling influencers who win big on their videos, stay critical with it.
- besides that, it is important for all gamblers to indoctrinate the brain that gambling is not the best way to earn money, gambling is designed for entertainment and when you win, it's just a bonus.
- be a wise and responsible gambling player so that you are not at a loss.

loosing out on a game is a very bothersome act, some people tend to fall into depression afterwards because the gamble more than the can afford to loose probably out of greed.

Build a cycle of friends that can be loyal to you, go out with them 1ce in a while, every loose can be restored if you play your card well, no need falling into depression.

Going on an outing with friends can actually cheer one up pretty well if they get along well and if there are all like-minded people in the group, it is a natural stress-buster and always does the work. I used to do the same when I used to be around my friends and when I didn't have a family to take care of and was always free like a bird.

The point is, do have a little break when you start feeling stressed out, if you have friends around, that's icing on the cake. Go out and have some good time so that you mind gets refreshed from what has happened.

Whenever you're going to far with gambling then check yourself, assess yourself and get a feedback from those close to you, oook at your lifestyle in general, your financial commitment, business activities and engagement, are there recent positive and progressive changes in you, caution yourself, set rules and guidelines, avoid too much exposure to gambling opportunities and live a disciplined life, get yourself a job to engage doing if you're always less busy being occupied.

From my experience, one of the best pieces of advice is never to gamble alone or invite your friend to sit beside or someone you trust to accompany you while gambling or go to a friend's house when you want to gamble.
Because every time you gamble at home, sometimes when you lose in a row, it makes people forget their first commitment, and emotions can beat even though they have planned a budget, but when someone's emotions go out of control.
So if we gamble when we have friends beside us, someone will advise us to stop gambling for a while after losing a few times.

That would be good suggestion to get him back at that point. When one loses repeatedly at the moment of gambling, some times the general knowledge temporarily lost from the brain. Many gamblers do not understand what to do. In that case I think if a friend is very close he can definitely forbid him. Again if one does well in gambling and keeps some friends with him at that time the result may be different. So a gambler need to have experience and have the ability to control himself. Otherwise it is not possible to proceed in gambling with someone's help.

Even if you are not in green, you've lost a significant amount but it was what you had decided as the budget for your gambling activities for a certain period of time, that is where you need to stop and don't gamble anymore until the time resets and you get the allocated funds to renew again, but most people don't do this.

Things get out of hand when you don't have a dedicated budget for gambling or even if you have one, you don't act according to it and gamble more even if the budget has been lost already, that is the wrong approach and never does any good.

It is important to determine a budget for gambling so that you will not cross your limits and be able to stop when your budget is running low or the time you use for gambling is running out. And not many people indeed do this because they are so tempted to continue gambling that they forget to set those boundaries.

They are even more tempted when they can win some money so they will be even more excited to keep playing gambling. And when they continue, it's time for their money to spin and lose more than their win. We really have to prevent this from happening so that the money we deposit doesn't run out that day.

Or simply which gambling is for entertainment and its not something that you would be obliging yourself to play just because you are finding for some income or something that you would be needing to play just because you are rich and tending to earn more than on what you do currently have. If people would really be just sticking into those basic principles in life and would really be that sensible towards their actions and be wary
or simply be aware on whats happening around then it would really be just that right that they should act accordingly on which they do seem that it wont really be putting or making any harm in towards self.
Gambling isnt bad as long you do know your limits and you do really know on how to deal up with it, its for entertainment and not for living and this is where some people do commit out mistakes
just because they are really treating it the way different. Playing isnt bad as long you do know on when to stop and when to go away when you are in green. Situation most of the time
which people would just only stop on the time that they dont have money on their pockets.

Let love lead

firstly,
gambling is like a spirit, once you're possessed, you'll love to win to satisfy yourself. Even when you're loosing, you're propelled to try more with each new guess looking real and with high possibility of giving you a win. This is when you are most vulnerable and can either make or mar yourself.

Here are my candid advices based on my experience

there is time for everything and gambling should be apportioned its own time and season in your activities and you must stick to that
Only gamble with your spare money and not your livelihood
Do not be too greedy, stake only what you can afford to loose
Learn to accept that gambling is about luck and experience, there are some good days which you win as well as some bad days. Identify the two and make a move earlier before its too late
don't bring much emotions into gambling, Instead bring in more discipline
don't hope on gambling, see it as a fun activity, just like when you go to the park for recreation and relaxation
if you bet online, have a separate account or wallet that you fund anytime you're in the mood for gambling and discipline yourself not to add more funds or coinsBTC to that wallet when it is exhausted
- Also maintain a minimum balance on that account. In essence you will withdraw excesses to your main account in the event that it is a good day and you are getting wins

you can gamble and still be modest. the main problem is that people tend to see it as a major means of livelihood especially if their luck shines a few times. this has to be discouraged cos you're on your way to becoming a helpless addict and the doomsday may be near.

the more you eager to win is the more you become in a losing streak,
you will not focus in your decisioning and you will only turn bad when it comes to money perspective.
never engage in gambling if you cannot control yourself ,thats the reality here mate.

- I super agree with what you said mate, it's true. When a person tries to gamble in a casino most gamblers don't know that this behavior only brings them closer to losing.

Then when a gambler feels like that, he is going to the state of having an addiction to gambling, which is not a good thing. Instead, in such a situation, there should be discipline and control over gambling.

Mate, you expect gamblers to read before acting or the other way round? They would not be gamblers if they did that.

Budget is supposed to be crossed, that is the rule in gambling, if you are not crossing it you are not a gambler. And drinks? Obviously yes for most gamblers. This combination is often fatal but most of them have been drowning in despair already.

Calling a friend? Never! Why share your own bad things to relieve the tension and hopelessness? Just keep drinking and get sick.

Truely gamblers end up in a vicious cycle, they can snap out of it but things have already taken a bad turn for most.

They need to take a U-turn before things take a bad turn from where they can't even get back, that is what happens with most gamblers even if they are not addicted initially, they will start spending more and having fun in their own small world with a drink in hand and casino running in front of them and they are spending everything they have.

It is until they realize they have already exhausted their bankroll and even what they didn't have in their bankroll, now if they are wise, they simply stop right there, but if they have already become addicted, they will do anything to get money to continue doing that.

We know that each person does have their own level of self control or discipline or even the awareness about their actions. Some are really that easily tolerant and some arent really easy to be decieved and would still go into that realistic way of approaching and decision making on things which as long it does give out good or bad. They would act accordingly into it and would of course be going into the way on which they do make themselves put out on harm.

Consequences do always come at the and and same goes with regret which is something that could really be avoided if we did really just think up on the right way.
Some could able to get out and there are some who do able to experience the worst.This is why when dealing with gambling then you should be treating up this thing as an entertainment.
Dont go far beyond that line on which you would already be treating it as a source of income.

To prevent you from experiencing depression, you should set limits on gambling so that you can reduce your losses and still be able to control yourself. Maybe it takes time until you can really control yourself. You have to keep practicing continuously to really master self-control. If you can't master it, you don't need to gamble because repercussions can arise if you still want to gamble. We have seen many people who have lost money gambling and don't gamble if you don't want to see that loss.

I personally find it very difficult to control this one. sometimes have tried to control the allocation to play. but when I enjoy the game too much, even though the balance in the account has run out, it seems like there is a feeling of curiosity to get the win. and finally forced me to deposit a little more to prolong the game.
whether it's to achieve satisfaction when we play for a very long time or we just want the ambition to win.

then you are not for gambling mate , if you have no self discipline in gambling ?
the more you will become a loser as this needs to be calculated and estimated and also allocated like what he said.

the more you eager to win is the more you become in a losing streak,
you will not focus in your decisioning and you will only turn bad when it comes to money perspective.

I may sound like a broken record but people need to understand that gambling is type of fun and that fun you pay with your looses. Now there is a possibility to earn money but that is just a possibility. If you look at it like this you will be fine.

Yes gambling is fun but we need to understand that we needed to be very observant to get what we want so that we are not going to end up losing everytime. The people that are making money from gambling are those that understand the system very well and know how to find there way back to get what they really wants.

do you know that you did this people now that is misunderstanding gambling because gambling is for adult is not for use and it is something that people who are rich use in the name of play but this time around we take that balance very serious more than any other thing which will use everything we have to ensure that we have played gamble in order to make money and I believe that that is wrong from my understanding gambling is a kind of play use for play

sad that there is no even a single sentence that understandable of what you completely say here lol.

The problem is humans don't get satisfied. Whether it is entertainment, or other things, people want more if it benefits them or feels good for them. If people have control then we can't see any crimes or whatsoever. It is the nature of humans to be greedy it shows how gambler aimed to win more even though he is already winnings until he got busted and start chasing losses.

Gambling is created not to do bad things but to entertain people in a legal way. There is nothing bad in entertainment as long as it do not hurt other people or ourselves. The problem relies on the people who are pursuing that entertainment and become greedy and end up addicted and broke.

@OP's suggestion is really helpful since it reminds us to have some break when things don't go the way we want and that break can make us think about our situation.

it should also reasonable in setting a budget that is not huge you should not using percentage on it you should set like $50 and you family should aware on it so that they can check on you time to time . If in physical casino you should only bring cash and not card and just enough money for your budget for playing. Above all it is really best to have self discipline on your self so that no matter how much your budget is you cant still loss it all

.-.But the problem is that most gamblers are hiding in their closet while playing
and this is the reason why many of them are turning into addicted one and yes a loser, instead of telling people around them so there will be guidance .

..they chose not and they maintain their silence in playing , and this is not how we treat gambling because if does? then we will be a complete loser all our life
and the saddest part is one day we will lose everything and even our own life.
learn to gamble with control and you will be fine .

Quote from: Hispo on May 11, 2023, 08:30:05 PM

While I agree with all of it, I must say that having some drinks while doing almost anything just makes things better, specially with friends. It enhances the experience, but makes it very easy to spend more than one has planned in the budget.

So one of my recommendations would be to only take the money of the budget to the casino if one plans to drink alcohol or accept drinks provided by the house, so in case one lose some control over the decision making capabilities, still there will be no money to gamble beyond the budget. Leave credit cards and jewelry at home. Tongue

try to never have any substance while playing , because this affect our decision making , be a natural gambler and always be in control.

Actually that is also the reason why free drinks offered in casino houses , so there will be chance that dizziness will take place and gamblers will be uncontrollable .

I am aware that casino usually offer free drinks as bonuses to gamblers so they will be more likely to gamble more. But in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with having a little bit of alcohol while gambling (slots, dices, roulette), if we consider gambling as an experience which is supposed to be entertainment, then if drinking a bit enhances the fun, it is okey.

I understand your point mate but we also knew that most gamblers(those who are literally gambled) are mostly the type of person that cannot hold their eagerness.
meaning like how they cannot manage to leave the table when are still having money in their pocket , this is also how they will not carry to have one sip in alcohol, meaning they will continue drinking (and that is the objective of the casino to let us drunk) so they will not have a best decision because of alcohol .

Quote

Perhaps, we could argue that is a different case in games like Black Jack or Poker, since there is actual strategy or decision making involved, unlike other casino games which only depend on randomness.

indeed , strategy and skills are there but like what the upper part of discussion , it is the liquor/alcohol that will change our mindset and our strategy , and yes I have proven this many times before lol Grin
