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.

What I did is? Letting my Wife handle all our funds and just allow Her to give me my weekly budget to gamble , in that way I managed to maintain my spending amount and only that I need to decide when to stand while winning .
nowadays I have learn my ways and yes she do not need to give me my allowance for gambling because I understand how much i need to gamble and also I know when to stand from table.

You're such a lucky dude in marriage bro, you didn't just marry a wife but a kover and a friend. We don't always get to have such wives that has no issues with our interest to gambling not to talk of one that agreeably allow us a given budget for gambling.

Gambling comes with excitement while on it particularly for those that lacks discipline and when we get carried away we loose control over our self control to decide when to stop, not to chase losses and quit. That excitement gives us a glaring hope that we can recover our losses immediately only to end up with nothing but total loss. If you can kill the excitement within that comes with gambling then you can be in charge of your sanity as to know and implicitly decisdes when to stop or quit.

Mainly I wanted to say don't chase your loss because it is one of the deadly things we do to ourselves while gambling since the day isn't going in our way betting more money will lead us to lose more money.

When the person doesn't respect the first rule, that is to set a fixed budget to gamble, never going beyond that sum of money, they fall on the trap of chasing losses, which will demand extra money from them to stay in game. Then the gambler starts risking money he can't afford to lose. He starts using money that should be used to pay the bills, food, fuel and the maintenance of his house and accessories.

It doesn't take long until his finances are turned into a complete mess! On the other hand, it takes really a long time until he recovers from this disorder...

As a player we need to have our own rules and follow them, we would lose everything if we do things in the wrong way, first we have to have control over our emotions, when we lose and when we win, but when we win is where we miss our own plans thanks to the adrenaline that runs through our body, first we get excited and bet on more, we believe that we will always win, that we will never have losses and thirdly what we will do would be to lose gradually until we run out of capital, that is what I say because it has happened to me and it is hard and I do not wish it on anyone who goes through it.

^ Definitely right as a player or gambler, it is important to have our own rules and stick to them. If we fail to do so, we run the risk of losing everything. It is risky to have control over our emotions, both when we win and when we lose. However, when we win, we often get caught up in the excitement and adrenaline rush, causing us to deviate from our original plans and make impulsive decisions. We may feel invincible and believe that we will always win, but this is far from the truth.
In reality, this often leads to gradual losses until we eventually deplete our capital. I speak from experience when I say that this can be a difficult and painful lesson to learn. It is a situation I would not wish on anyone, which is why it is so important to establish and follow our own rules, even in the face of excitement and temptation.

Emotion handling : You should really know on when to stop and go basing up on the condition, Yes its really hard on doing so specially when stopping midway. It cant really be that easy but its a must thing to be.
Dont chase losses/ Or trying out to be rich overnight: This kind of common motive is something that really common on gambling field on which these things would really be pushing you beyond your limits.
On the time that you would really be experiencing losses then you would tend to breakeven and if you are winning then you would be asking for more.

Dont be impulsive: Gambling should be for fun and not something that would be giving out that stress, The wrong thing on here on why people do get messed up with gambling is that they cant
able to assess the situation carefully and made out decisions without any sens.

Always set limits: You should really know or how to determine about calling it a day and completely stop if its needed to.

These are good advice for gamblers indeed but one part is missing and this is why many responsible gamblers leave behind their sane gambling lane and jump to the insane side of gambling..

Chasing losses

Most responsible gamblers lose their cool once they try making back what they lose, this is a journey that has no guarantee of returning to been your old self, instead you will slowly become addicted to gambling.

I would say be aware of the negative consequences of gambling as well while you are about to gamble cause most people get inspired by big wins in the gambling industry but they fail to notice what happened to the majority of people so just play for fun.

Self awareness to getting addicted should be the main advice. Every gambler should pay attention on his gambling habits.
If at any point the gambler does something what he had not planned on to do then the chances are higher that he is slowly getting addicted to gambling.
For example: Playing more than the allocated time for gambling or increasing the budget for gambling out of the blue are some incidents to know your gambling addiction has increased.

That was a quick and good summary on how to focus on gambling. I fully agree with you that setting a budget for ourselves is one of the most important rules in gambling and sports betting. For several years now I have a hard limit per month and week on my bankroll, this helps me to avoid chasing losses during a streak of bad beats. When following martingale based strategies it relies on always doubling up our bet after a loss. Without a strong focus on our balance we could be wiped out during a losing streak. Another point I would add to your list to take out some of the winnings and save them. Whenever I manage to make bigger win in gambling I try to take at least 50% of it and withdraw it. Having a separate wallet helps me to grow my winnings long term.

I've seen people run out to a pawn shop to sell their watch just to get money for another round because they reached daily limits on their ATM withdrawals. Setting a budget helps only until you get addicted so much that you completely lose control.
All the advice by OP is great and works, but only until you reach a point where you can no longer limit yourself. For instance, a normal gambler casually sits at the table and walks away after an hour or two, can leave the table after a win or a loss and feels fine regardless of the result. A light addict can't stop as long as he has money. When he loses everything is when the fun ends and he keeps thinking about ways to make the money back all the time. A hard addict doesn't leave the casino, he's taken out because he's drunk, out of money, or arguing and starting fights.

I think it's normal on physical casino to have addicts like that. Spending all of their fortunes even if they shouldn't. I've also seen on in a physical casino but the gambling addict that I saw is selling his car to his opponent in a poker match. It's crazy to see one in person really, It's just like a movie scene. I been an addict but I didn't came to that point that I'm selling my belongings to just continue to gamble. This kind of addicts are helpless and needs a huge amount of time to stop their crazy gambling habits. They will realize all their mistakes after they lost everything and will start from scratch.

You can even find people like that in online gambling platforms who will usually try having a limited amount when gambling but as soon as they lose the money, in order to win it back, they deposit again and this time a bigger amount only to try and recover their losses but what generally happens is that they lose all they have.

Only someone who respects their discipline and has complete control over their emotions can stop themselves from this, otherwise, when you lose you start to have mixed emotions, anger, regret, frustration, sadness, and a lot more.

What I do is simple, when my budget is used up on the gambling platform here in cryptocurrency, I stop, especially if I know that I'm a bit unlucky in playing. Then I'll play again when I have enough money to gamble again, because I don't take gambling seriously as a source of income, instead it's really just a pastime or hobby for me.

Don't bring excess money when you are going to a casino. Just bring the enough budget where you can afford to lose so that there's no further extension of playing once your friend tease you since they cannot do anything if you are done already. Also don't get carried away by peer pressure and always put it on your mind that you gamble because you want to have fun and not to satisfy your friends expectations about how you play.

You're right, it's a good idea to bring money according to what we can afford to lose if we play at a land or live casino, but for me online casino gamblers sometimes I apply that when I play casino make a deposit according to the money I'm prepared to lose Moreover, if there are friends who try to interfere with my game or pressure me to make another deposit when I lose, of course it won't affect that because I always play according to my portion and limit my daily spending.

Besides playing gambling, if we are affected by situations and the environment, for example when playing gambling with friends, of course it will be very disturbing to control our emotions, so I usually often look for a quiet and comfortable place to gamble in a casino alone. Have fun playing gambling alone. . Cheesy

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.

I do that strategy when lag and can't control again the game. I immediately called my best friend, and talk about something else. Fortunately, my friend knows that (I don't have control), and our conversation goes the same way. I do often tell if I am gambling and sometimes need help to refresh the mind, so if not burdensome I need a call every 3 hours, and my friend agree with condition I must invite him dinner and having fun if I won. Sometimes i need my friend to call me (pretend to be important) to leave the table.

I'd see your situation is getting worse and possible you had fallen into addiction already. You need to address your gambling habits, much better to stay away from gambling for weeks or even months to cut such addiction. And also for you to figure out what really happens to you. You'd better spend more time with your friends and might some of your old friends can help it out and totally be healed from gambling attraction.

But at least she had a friend to turn to when things got worse so she could turn her attention to talking to her friends. This is good because he is still sober and can call a friend to help him turn his attention to gambling. Meanwhile, other people just continue to gamble and will not try to stop for a moment. Perhaps he really should give up gambling for a while and engage in other activities when he is free, so there is no possibility for him to gamble. It will surely help him to reduce his gambling habit and surely it will also help him to cure his gambling addiction.

I really don't know how people manage to set their budgets online casinos because there were time I had to visit offline or better still physical casino and most times I have to carry ong just the amount of money I'm willing to gamble with and at some points, I have to head back hike as soon as the money is finished because most times the games become more interesting especially when you already exhausted the money you came to gamble with.
Having a budget for gambling is at some point seem impossible and it actually requires alot of dedication.

It's not impossible, but you're not really have a strong commitment to only use the amount you've set up and back to home when you're already lost it. Physical casino is harder to control your money because some people including your friend will tease you to gamble more, this make you want to fulfill it and forget your money management. But, as long as you're not ask a loan to gamble, it's still fine since you're not mess your life and hurt other people.

Don't bring excess money when you are going to a casino. Just bring the enough budget where you can afford to lose so that there's no further extension of playing once your friend tease you since they cannot do anything if you are done already.

Yup, anyone who’s gambling since long knows this for sure or at least had a worst experience someday to pull themselves together. This is what happened with me one day when I was playing on Vegus Plus casino. They have variety of crash games (rockets, ships, war sails etc). It was so addictive on that casino I ended up playing for hours and hours. Game after game, even the back used to hurt man.

That was the day when I realised, I have to put heavy limits on myself and keep it real low.

Pretty much what OP suggested should be the workflow. Usually I play and if I’m losing in streak then im stopping right there and might give couple of days gap before I can start again.

Mindfulness, Self-awareness, Self-control, and Discipline is the key. These bits of pieces of advice do really work. It is proven. But only if put into action.

You can set a budget before you start gambling. 5% or 10% of your capital. But how disciplined can you stick with it.
Take a break when you get to win, and don't give back your profits. How can you control yourself?
How mindful are you to avoid drugs and alcoholic drinks? How do you seek help when needed?

These questions are hard to swallow and to answer, but it's the key. You don't need techniques, you need to master yourself. It may seem like, there is no related to gamble in here, but gambling is a hard psychological game. You lose money, you may also lose yourself. So take care of yourself as you take care of your accounts.

I also see that way, if that particular friend is busy and there's none to talk the chance to go back and keep playing will lead you to lose your bankroll, or in worse scenario you already lose your initial capital then you will add and deposit more to keep playing thinking that luck might be there somewhere and will allow you to recover and win some decent amount before quitting.

The worse side of addiction is lying to yourself that you are not really that engage and your gambling participation is still in your control.

Better to think ahead and, if possible, to try quitting for a while and re-assess yourself, try a good diversion to temporarily stop and find some new activities to refresh your mind.

What I did is? Letting my Wife handle all our funds and just allow Her to give me my weekly budget to gamble , in that way I managed to maintain my spending amount and only that I need to decide when to stand while winning .
nowadays I have learn my ways and yes she do not need to give me my allowance for gambling because I understand how much i need to gamble and also I know when to stand from table.
this partnership will surely let you just enjoy and never regret your gambling activities.

- The Only problem is if you are still single and no one to let you managed your money , better to have strict rules and focused mind or else never engaged in gambling forever.
- because no matter what? you will always lose and that is the reality and the saddest part is if you will turn addicted .

never be like this lol

You have a very considerate wife. While some of us are not telling our wives we gamble online, you get to have a budget. You definitely had chosen a great wife.

Well , Proud to say I AM mate, my wife is very considerate things that I am very thankful though maybe the reason is I am also a trustworthy husband and I neve lei on her so she trusted me in every decision and things that I do.
and also that is the reason why we are staying strong over the years
with having our child around.

Whether married or not, however, one will still have to manage his funds to live so in order to just keep it that way a person should just bear in mind the bills to pay and food on the table. When he is responsible enough, I think he will not go deep into gambling.

but that is the thing mate, it is hard for someone specially those who have a temper problem to manage those things , they will keep digging for something that very easy for them to acquire and that is how gamble ruin their life.
so they need someone who will be with them in this kind of situation .
