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.

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.

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.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue

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.

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.

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.

Quote

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 .

Most of the physical casino I play before have some ATM and some local players offering loans in exchange for physical things such as jewelry as collateral for the quick loan. This makes physical casino is not different to online casino in regards for having access to instant cash whenever it’s needed.

It’s possible in online casino if you can set time lock to your funds outside the casino. Staking with fixed date is one example. Lock your funds for 1 day while your gambling funds deposit in the casino. This way you are only relying on your gambling funds and there’s no chance to have an excess gambling expenses if you loss for the day.

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

Agreed , we must allocate a certain amount in every gambling gaming
as in this we will prevent from losing more because the more we lose is the more we are chasing that amount.
so if we will have specific fund , then we have no option to chase that losses.
good advise mate and very reasonable to follow , but the problem is can we truly do that?it is an easy said than done lol.

This is why responsible gambling is very important since you will be more aware on when to start and when to stop from gambling, especially if your losses had exceed from your target limits. Furthermore, preparing a spare money that you set for gambling is very essential too since it will remind you that once you lose them all, it’s time for you to go home and automatically stop from gambling. That will save you and your funds from consistent losses.

Nice guide and most importantly gamble what you can afford to let go, because some gamblers may still have high and unbearable budgets, and it doesn't fall between the category of budget gambling.
We still remember a story of a gambler that staked up to 1.4 million dollars on a bet, so such a situation warrants the gambler to first analyzed what his/her state will be if he loses the bet and what emotional impact that will have on his physical and psychological well-being.

Budgeting should always be the priority and yes live within your means and take only the risk that you can afford. Gambling while you are not in a good condition is not ideal, because you might be tempted to gamble more, and this can result to a more losses. If you are going to casinos, make sure to have limited cash only and avoid getting more funds especially if you are losing, you have to stay responsible and stay focus.

Rightly said mate in gambling you should take risk according to your ability. You can exclude yourself from gambling for a certain period of time. This will allow you to rethink your gambling habits and focus on other important things in your life. Gambling involves certain risks and players need to be aware of that. They confirm that there is plenty of potential to win, but also potential to lose. If you want to check the level of your gambling addiction, you can take a self-assessment test that will help you better determine your gambling habits.

that is really the problem because we can say that we need to bring an extra money just incase of emergency and turns out you add that to the budget which still it is useless that is why having control our emotions as well as our self is really important because no matter what will do if your mindset really is always gamble then still you'll end up spending more and also most of the people are only good for talking and not for doing because they end up saying it is difficult to do.

1. I have see people set "budget". Almost everyone does that but once they start losing, they forget about the "budget" and end up trying to recover everything they lost which in the end, never ends well.

2. Like I said, once they start losing, they forget about everything. They don't remember about taking breaks. All they know is that they need to win back their money. These are easy to say than do.

3. Yeah, you end up gambling more when you are not in your sense. One shouldn't get drunk and gamble. That would be the worst decision.

4. Seeking help is a good way and talking to friends or someone very close about your gambling habits might make them aware that you need help. Friends that care will help you get out of any issues.

There is one more thing I would like to suggest. Always gamble for fun. Think of it like you are paying for the entertainment and the profits are optional rewards.

It may work for a new gambler but it will be hard for someone who has gambling problems to control his emotions and follow your advice.

Its indeed easier said than done, what makes gambling addiction scary is that you really can't stop, you are always chasing your losses, hoping you win your next bet and recover everything you lost, but as a matter of fact, you are only digging the hole deeper, addicts only stop after losing everything they have, Money, House, Job, Relationships, and sometimes their life.

What this type of gamblers really need is supervision. They need a good friend or a carrying relative to remind them when they need to stop and take a break.

In addition to the list given by @OP, you should also take control of the time. Gambling is very entertaining activity, it keeps us hook due to the desires of wanting to win but given that, we should always have a check and aware on our time of time and environment. This way we can't miss any important schedule we have in our daily routine. It also lessen the chance to get hooked because we are able to tell how long we have been playing and responsible gambling always stop when the time comes that we have the need to do other things.

^ Speaking of the desire we want that you have said I think that is chasing loss if I am not mistaken.
It is easy to get caught up in trying to win back what you have lost, but this can be dangerous. Don't chase your losses and try to make up for them by gambling more. Op was right we should set a time limit for how long you will spend gambling and stick to it. Don't let gambling take up too much of your time, as this can lead to addiction.

When we do gamble then heres the keypoints on which we should really be minding or thinking about.

1. Dont chase losses
2. Dont be greedy
3. Dont make yourself believe on getting rich
4. Dont spend the amount which you cant afford to lose
5. Dont go beyond your limits

This is where people do neglect out the basic principle on which it do really causes up for things to be messy just because you do make yourself believe into something which
it cant really be possible or does happen in reality. Gambling is for fun and not a source of income and this should really be put up into your mind.
If you wont really be having that kind of mindset and goes to the opposite one, then you would be creating some huge problem later on.

Got even better advice: don't gamble at all. Learn money management, pick 1 popular strategy, spend some time on a demo account, only then switch to real money and whatever happens, just stay on the 1 strategy you learned on.
