The problem some people have when it comes to gambling is they don't know when to stop. Learn to set a limit before gambling, and stop when you've exhausted your limit or budget.
Also, understand the game, know their odds, and winning
I hear people sell valuable properties to gamble when it isn't going as they planned some find solace in drugs making things worst for themselves.
 Thanks for this piece, I hope they see this and make a change by playing responsibly.
For a gamble not to know when to stop gambling is tied to the fact that he or she feels that they can make huge earnings from gambling and that to win is a must for them which is not suppose to be so. Gambling is a very tricky act that needs to be kept in check at always because the moment you allow it turn an addiction I can bet you it can take a whole lifetime to stop such ill behavior and it can destroy all your years of hard work in just a split second when you are drown in that feeling of lost.

So in gambling, make sure you know why you are doing it and the purpose of it, and are you doing it for the long run?
For the purpose of entertainment, gamblers surely stick to their limits and self-control. But if they consider gambling as their source of income, no way that they will follow our advice. Instead, they even spend more and gamble more without thinking about the mental and financial effects on themselves.
I agree that only a few gamblers will take their time to listen to advice but rather expect the majority to ignore us and do what they think is right (even though it was totally wrong).

And that's true, few may take the advice and change the direction of their gambling involvement while the majority will ignore and will proceed and continue what they've thought is better for them, something that we can only provide our opinions and there's nothing that we can do about it, that's their money and they are free to do whatever they think might give them the entertainment and the possibility of having some decent profits if luck permits them to win.

How about have the mental strength and willpower to say no! If you are single and still in your 20s where your decisions don't affect the lives of others that much, it's not that big of a deal. You are only doing harm to yourself. If you have a family and kids who look at you as their superhero, start acting like one, at least when it comes to knowing good from bad. Your actions impact those around you in so many ways. 
I've been in your situation before, and it sucks to bet your last card on a game that will result in a loss at the end of the day. Most gamblers have become addicted because they spend the majority of their time looking for games to stake their money on, and this is especially noticeable in young adults. Between the ages of 18 and 20, youngsters tend to put unneeded pressure on themselves in order to earn more money for either their wants or for tangible things. It has become a common event in our modern day, and one of the most important pieces of advise I would give to any gambler out there is to take a deep breath and wait, because new opportunities are available every day, and we should grab what is accessible as long as it doesn't affect our finances stability.

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.

See, if we are not very careful, gambling will get the best out of Us, sometimes, when some gamblers gamble, they use the wrong money and that money was not meant for gambling in the first place.

We have other things to use money for but, when you lost the money you will want to get it back and you start using some other money that was not meant for gambling again and before you know what is going on, you have lost all the money and you will go back home with zero money on you.

The first rule of gambling is to use the money that you are ready to lose and if the money is gone, do not try to chase what you have lost because in the end there is a chance that we even lose more money.

Till this day this is why my mother always say that gambling is evil, because it is more like something is controlling human beings that are into gambling because when you lost your money you are supposed to stop gambling, but you won't, you won't be able to control yourself you will lose control, You will want to keep gambling thinking that you will make more money that's why she thinks that can be in his evil.

Do not borrow money to gamble online
Do not use money that's meant to solve some expenses in your life.
The perfect money for gambling are extra money that has no use.

Gambling has an addicting factor to it this is why there are many people who we can refer as an gambling addict. Disciple in hard when you feel the intense adrenaline rush came to your body. Many gamblers feel this at the first time but there are people want to constantly feel it that's why they become a gambling addicts. The feeling that people receive on the first time they gamble is the one that I believe can make them uncontrollable. There are people who can control it but there are other that can't. This is why it's hard to introduce gambling to a people that has no good self control because they can be addicted. We all know the feeling of winning and the frustration of losing, The discipline of not coming back to win again or to comeback in losing is hard for them.
And from the experience they got for the first time in gambling, is what makes many of them want to get other experiences. They want to feel what it's like to win, so they keep gambling until they get a win. And even after they get a win, that doesn't make them stop immediately because they want to increase the number of wins. This is where good self-control is needed so that we don't get stuck in an atmosphere that can make us unable to stop. By having good self-control, we can know when we have to stop and leave the casino.

Talking is easy, especially just to advise, but to do so will usually experience difficulties, just like gamblers who are sitting at a casino table, usually they are always like that when they run out of money and lose, playing gambling, they are getting out of control, even though we have planned to start controlling it.

I was once like that advising someone but I myself sometimes find it a little difficult to control myself, the only way is to place a deposit with a little money so I make sure I don't hold any other money so I don't make another deposit when I lose gambling I have to really limit spending. save the rest of the money with my wife so I can limit my spending on gambling every day.
That means you have good self-control before advising others because they will see that we cannot control ourselves either. They obviously won't want to obey us to stop gambling and instead blame us for being unable to stop.

But if you can control yourself well, they may still want to listen to you and will try to leave gambling. And if you can also invite them to do other things that have nothing to do with gambling or invite them to a place to enjoy the atmosphere, they will probably obey you. And that's where you can control those who want to continue gambling because they will get a different experience.

Exactly.Sometimes when the rage is getting the best out of me I think immediately of my daughter that this money which I am trying to recover lost amounts can be spend in a much better way by providing to my family and specifically to her,this gives me an enormous will power that in 3 years out of addiction I may have overdone it only 2-3 times and this with money I could afford to lose of course.

As long as you are single you will get bored and sad yourself but you are not responsible for others around you and as you say it is not of a big deal.

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.
Good advice. Having a set budget before playing can prevent you from spending beyond your limit. Learn to have discipline, self-control and don't let your emotions influence you on making a decision. On the other side taking a break can help to think clearly and less pressure for yourself.

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.
This is a must if you want to overcome your addiction. Don't hesitate to seek help because the support of family and friends are necessary to encourage you on changing what you used to.

I'd like to add, for gamblers, before you play be aware of the risk and the possible thing that can happen. If you can't bear the idea of losing your money in gambling, then don't ever try to gamble. Gambling is fun and you can win huge money but if you have no discipline it can create a negative impact in your life.

This is already something that everyone should know because it's going to be hard to do when you are not capable of understanding the "Why" of your actions. Like why are you doing it in the first place? You need to know and understand that to be fully aware and make sure that you won't regret the actions that you did and be responsible for the actions that you have. You need to be accountable for it.

So in gambling, make sure you know why you are doing it and the purpose of it, and are you doing it for the long run?

Even though it's not difficult, the reality is that not many people can learn to discipline themselves, especially in gambling, because many people have sunk into gambling deeper than other people. And they can't stop immediately, even when the money is running low, and instead, try to deposit more money. In gambling, you really have to have good control and self-discipline so you don't become addicted to gambling so that nothing bad will happen to you. We must be responsible gamblers to ourselves so that we can enjoy gambling as entertainment and not make gambling a way to make money.
Talking is easy, especially just to advise, but to do so will usually experience difficulties, just like gamblers who are sitting at a casino table, usually they are always like that when they run out of money and lose, playing gambling, they are getting out of control, even though we have planned to start controlling it.
like most says about that is that "Easy to be  said than Done" and yes we even fail from what we are advising to others so its like we can talk but the question is can we act on that?
this is the reason why I am not believing everything that I read here instead I focus in my own development and my own way of learning from my lessons.

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.

Fixing the budget for gambling is an important thing because if you do not fix the budget before starting gambling then you cannot analyze the profit and loss ratio from gambling. I set aside a certain percentage of the week for gambling and spend the rest to support myself and my family. But one important thing is that before getting involved in gambling, you must keep in mind the disadvantages of gambling. Keep in mind that gambling addiction does not control your brain. Moreover, no user under the age of 18 should involve himself in online gambling and casinos.

I love the alcohol advise though, when I used to drink before and that's one of my weakness, getting drunk along the way and then playing on traditional base casinos and of course, when you have alcohol in your bloodstream, you are going to lose in the end because your judgement is clouded and you can even bet higher than you used to.

It's a good advise for everyone, like the budget setting and leaving your wallet at home if you are traveling to a land base casinos. Or if playing in online, just deposit enough crypto and have fun. If you lose then let it go and just play another day.

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.

You have to control this urge or curiosity.  It will only give you negative impact in the long run.  It is good that you know your weakness and I am sure you will be able to find a solution to control it.  I hope you will find it early before you ended in a financial problem.

Simply put. Establish control on yourself whenever you gamble.

It's so easy to fall down the downwards incline that is gambling. I've seen one too many stories of people within and out of this forum losing millions and ruining their lives and their children's all because they couldn't control their urge to bet on one more game. So yeah, if you want to make it out alive, you have to establish control and impose strict rules upon yourself. Otherwise you'd find yourself drying up your savings and losing touch of yourself in the process. You have to look out for yourself, at least everytime you try out somethign you know is going to bring massive detriments in the future if left unchecked. Nobody's gonna check on you better than yourself.

Not only you but most of us who are engaged in gambling activities.  It is not news to us that something will happen bad if one will lose its control over gambling.  The worst is getting addicted to gambling which is very hard to cure.  So as much as possible we must implement controls in all our activity.  It is better start trying to take the drive set now than later else we might end up in regret.

You are not alone. I know many gamblers who can't control themselves and keep depositing till they drain all their wallets. To be honest, they are not doking because they enjoy the game (as they want to convince themselves) but because they are trying to chase their losses.
Some good casinos have a feature which allow gamblers to set a maximum amount of money to spend per day. When the gambler reaches the set limit, the casino will not let him place any more bets.

I have given advice to many people, but I don't know if it has happened to you, when we give advice everything is very easy, but when we sometimes play the same advice that I give, I ignore it and it doesn't work out, so sometimes it's difficult advise a person, 'because sometimes the adrenaline makes us have emotions on the surface and we make mistakes, sometimes we bet too much, I admit it sometimes I try to get out of control, but I have something, that when I lose a lot Well, I stop my losses and I don't keep playing, that's what I've learned the most, and I say it so they don't fall into that mistake.
