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.

1.I don't really think that setting a budget would stop a gambler to become addicted. Having big wins at the beginning is what makes a gambler get addicted. This has nothing to do with setting a budget and sticking to that budget.
2.The gambling addicts could also take a break from gambling, but that doesn't help them to fight their addiction and re-evaluate their wrong decisions. Most gambling addicts have a lack of self-awareness and simply taking a break won't help in becoming more self-aware.
At the end of the day, there's no "red pill" that would keep the gamblers away from addiction. Everything is about mentality and being aware of your own behavior.

It seems that what is being said here is not to stop gamblers from being addicted, but to prevent gamblers from going further because they have no limit on how much they have to spend while playing. This means that with good financial control, a gambler can avoid financial difficulties or in the sense that they can play with money that they will not use for other purposes, such as necessities of life for example.
Indeed, everything will return to self-control, but at least by setting a budget before playing it can at least prevent self-control from getting out of hand.

To add up to what you have said OP. Most of those gambling to loss do not just do that on their own. Most are sometimes intoxicated and would want to accept anything that comes up just to prove a point to others that they are man enough to withstand anything in that case they begin to loose out and entirely everything is fine before they realize themselves they have lost all they have won and cam e with. This is my advice do not accept challenges at casino grounds sometimes it might be challenging amd daring but do not try it to please anyone because most of the challenges you enter to prove yourself as Aman I casino grounds are nothing but traps to luring you to playback so they could manipulate the whole process for to loose everything again. Be wise, be smart. Do not fall for their tricks. Play according to your plans and schedules.

Question is; how would a gambler see if he/she is betting too fr than they suppose to? Problem is lack of awareness. In most of the times, playersold set an amount to bet for the whole day but due to the involvemen of emotions, things are not being followed as planned. Ofcourse it would be easy to say that you are fine losing a certain amount but deep inside there will be that urge to get your losses. And once you got your losses back, there will again that urge to come up with a win. Obviously, self-discipline is the bottomline but unfortunately not all people can impose such thing unto themselves. There will always be underlying factors which will interfere to your plans in gambling.

Advice? I guess it is to not be dependent with gambling money in the first place. Avoid being dragged into the idea that gambling could make you rich someday. I believe this is where all emotions in this industry comes from.

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 .

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.

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.

Aside from your point there's other more need to consider like making yourself at good condition before playing on casino since if you cannot feel any heavy inside or something that can stress you out for sure you will not outburst your emotion on what you are playing. Then also for sure with clear mind you can think about your set plan and can possibly have good thoughts about quitting when the time came when it needed.

Sticking to the budget is the best advice anyone can get but of course sticking to a preset budget is extremely difficult when you are gambling with passion or you are after an expensive device that you want to buy fast and gambling is the fastest way to such thing which unfortunately comes true only 0.0001% of the times you try to achieve it with gambling.I have been addicted before and since late 2020,August 2020 or something like that I have implemented this advice to myself and of course I overdo it a couple of times when rage gets the best out of me but in normal conditions I rarely go beyond my planned budget for gambling.

Yes I agree with that. A weekly, monthly or daily budget of a fixed amount is essential to protect a gambler from big losses.

Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.

Taking an occasional break will prevent a gambler from developing any deep gambling addiction and panic gambling. But once you start gambling, it is very difficult to take a break from it because then a lot of excitement is born in the mind.

Correct. If these rules are followed, no one will be seriously harmed by gambling

Going a bit far in gambling means we are losing money we can't afford to lose, we can't stop chasing some big win while slowly sinking into a problem. Been there, done that... when I was much younger. Probably every gambler goes through that period at some point, but some (many) simply go too deep.

Haha, good one!

But some of us wish to "lose some control" and simply have fun. After a long day of trying to keep control (on the job, with kids, hours in driving, all other everyday stuff, and shit that happens along the way) I just wish to play some games and relax! It's gambling, sometimes we will win, sometimes we will lose, and many times we will break even... but as long as we play for fun, with the amount we can afford to lose we will have fun and many exciting ups and downs.

Hi bro! I think
1. Set a time limit: It's important to set a time limit for gambling and stick to it. Don't let gambling take over your entire day or night.
2. Don't chase losses: If you're on a losing streak, it's important not to chase your losses by betting more money. This can lead to further losses and make the situation worse.
3. Take advantage of bonuses: Many casinos and online gambling platforms offer bonuses and promotions. Take advantage of these to increase your chances of winning.
4. Don't gamble with money you can't afford to lose: Only gamble with money that you can afford to lose. Never borrow money to gamble or use money that is meant for other important expenses.
5. Keep track of your winnings and losses: It's important to keep track of how much money you're winning and losing. This can help you stay within your budget and make informed decisions.
5. Remember, gambling can be addictive and have serious consequences. It's important to gamble responsibly and seek help if you feel that you're no longer in control.

Many gamblers done ensure the make this in written but fail is acting it because it has it own vulnerability that some gamblers find it easier been said than done, many will make it like a promise that i won't go beyond this limit but once they began, they go ahead far beyond they expected because they couldn't control their emotions anymore when they started.

As a professional gambler, one must give a break to cross check if there had been something he's missing out or which should have been in place and not, check and balance your gambling lifestyle and improve more in some areas, give it a new approach a d see if things will change or not.

Avoid getting intoxicated while gambling, it do you nothing than placing harm in your and affecting your mental reasonings, getting drunk also does not increase your chances for winning by any means, it rather make it more difficult because you're under influence.

Budget is usually set immediately you receive an income. At that time, the person is expected to allocate a percentage of the income to different expenses for a time frame. Your budget may be weekly or monthly. Have a percentage you use for gambling, stick to it.

Brief but powerful post. If any gambler abides by these few tips he would not be addicted to gambling. Most gambling addicts don't take breaks and don't have plans. They always want to chase their losses thereby losing control over their gambling life. Having a gambling plan will reduce the risk of using funds that would have been used for basic needs or investments to gamble.

Some gamblers feel that getting drunk will make them get over their losses. And sometimes they get drunk in the process of gambling which will make them lose concentration. Seeking help from experienced friends and families in the form of advice will be a good idea. Seeking medical or psychological support when necessary is also a good suggestion.

Learning self-control is something that everyone who wants to gamble needs to have so they don't eat up all the balance they have. Even though they have set limits on gambling, they could still deposit more money, especially if they lose, because gambling can make them tempted to play longer. And don't play gambling to make money because getting it won't be easy. Make gambling an entertainment, enjoy your time while you are playing, and stop before you run out of money.

One thing that I really stuck with is not bringing anything extra if I’m going to a physical casino, and not get close to my phone that has all the 2FAs on my accounts if I’m playing at home. I literally, on purpose, turn off that phone which has the 2FA to deter me from depositing anything extra if I feel like I can beat the casino with a losing streak. Also, the right mentality would surely keep you from doing dumb decisions, but it’s not something that can be learned in a day or two. You really have to master it and stick with it the whole way through.

Another thing to remember, as some have already mentioned, is to avoid chasing your losses. It's tempting to want to recoup what you've lost, but it can frequently result in more losses. Don't let the moment get the best of you and know when it's time to take a break. And, of course, the most important thing is to make sure to gamble within your means. Many of us had to learn this the hard way, unfortunately.

I myself have a fund limit for gambling and never exceed that limit, friend, even though in the amount of money that has become the limit, I usually deposit half of it first so it doesn't run out immediately when I'm losing.
Some of the suggestions and advice that you provide are actually quite useful and can reduce gamblers from losing more money if they lose, but unfortunately only some gamblers are aware of this.
Don't you also understand that most gamblers chase after winning and forget what could prevent them from losing big.

But at least we can provide an understanding to some of the gamblers who are here, friend, so they have self-awareness that gambling also needs something that can prevent them from experiencing big losses.

This is the hardest part. I was addicted in the past, but I fixed the problem myself. It's very embarrassing to ask for help from friends. I don't want them to judge me, and I'm just not the type of person who is open enough to share my personal problems. I think the best way to avoid getting addicted is to prevent it altogether. You know, they say 'prevention is better than cure.

A true friend that understand about life and matters can not judge you, but most friends are not just like that. I have been addicted before and I solved the problem myself by disciplining myself. I later realized that there is nothing good that is coming from betting all the time and losing all the time than winning. For it not to destroy my life, I have to start gambling in a better way. I even quit gambling for awhile that time. The best a gambling addict can do to himself is to realized that the bad sides of gambling is more than the good sides and how gambling can make their life be full of depression and losses.

The best answer is education, any person need to know his limit, money management and thinking the future. Although all people want to be rich and I agree with the statement if not all people can become rich, that's why there's a person can gamble $100 per week, someone can gamble $100,000 per week and someone can't gamble because he don't have any money anymore.

I have similar thinking like you, and with people like me and you going deep into gambling is almost impossible, but there are different kind of people around that have other state of mind and they are more prone to get addicted to gambling. It's normal thing since no one is the same but for them having someone around to guide them is a must.

well that's cool hehe... But you are right in mentioning that as gamblers we also need to take a break for awhile because our mind is also tired from the thing that we think we will win.
Because the more that we always lose, it's stressful for us while playing. And I like what you said to call a friend that you also trust of course that you know has sense to talk to especially in these situations.
