It could actually help.
And it could also encourage you to learn more about something before putting your money into it.. . If it is too risky, you avoid. You try with little amount if you believe in your chances. Kids & "vulnerable people" should not gamble though.

Hopefully you don't get fatigue when lots of rewards/money start pouring in Smiley

I understand what you means here that during our life we're earn money with full of efforts and sacrifice our time but sometimes it could be useless efforts because we spend our earning for gambling table even from weekly or monthly salary it only can spended less than one hour on gambling but admitted or not this is the fact and nothing to be sure in gambling but if you appreciate your efforts then don't gambling because seems this not suitable for you

Earning money is real hard and it's a no-brainer. So basically what I do is I write down in a diary of my daily income along side with what I have sacrificed for earning that amount.
Somewhat I feel you and TBH you are more lucky than me because you got a skill at least while I don't have any skill but only playing online games. Still finding a way to earn money thru playing until now Cheesy.

Yesterday night after finishing my own assignment, I worked as a freelancer from 12am to 2 am to complete an assignment based on electrical engineering to earn $20.
I assume that you are a student and as a student, it is very good to hear that you are creating ways to earn as a student. I know some of the students who are happy-go-lucky right now. What they do are just spending money and not working.

Now when I would have the urge to gamble with that $20, I would just see the diary and would realize I am not just gambling with $20 but gambling with that sacrifice of time and effort which I'll never get back. And it has worked for me to a certain level.
Well, your diary can be your inspiration and at the same time make you more discipline with regards to your money. You have worked hard to get it and using it just for gambling isn't a good way to spend it.

Now you know how hard to work for money, this can be a chance for you to stop gambling and focus on freelancing, investing and saving your money for the future. Gambling in the long run will not give you any benefits. Just continue what you are doing right now Smiley.

What's your opinion on this......
If it works on you then this will be effective enough to stop anyone from gambling. If you have the experience of working hard, especially if you put a lot of effort for that work and your time, you will have the feeling of regret and you will think of the possible outcome of your game. That way, you will stop yourself from starting to play to avoid wasting the money you earned.

We got almost the same situation this day, what a coincidence! I pushed myself to finish my obligations here despite of not having enough rest from my previous Mechanical Engineering board examination. I have a colds and flue, my heads are still aching and my eyes still need more sleep but I choose not to. I just sleep 3 hrs. AFAIR and start posting from late midnight until the sun rise this morning. I know it's very exhausting but I understand that's how life works. Money will not chase you, you are the one who must chase. It's okay nonetheless because it was self fulfilling after all, as long as you love what you do then all the stress you feel will easily vanish Smiley.

It is about the realizatiion of how hard you earn your money,

I think it is helpful enough to restrict someone if he do this. But for me, since I am also working in real life, I have experience how really hard it is to earn money, even without writing how hard I worked to earn that money I already have the realization and easily restrict myself from gambling.

Good thing that you do able to divert that urge of yours towards gambling into other things. That diary is a big help anytime you do see that where it made you realize that earning money
isnt really easy and spending it on a blink of an eye doesnt really seems worth i do say but it doesnt totally mean that you wont play gambling yet you can still play but
you should limit or set a particular amount and not necessary to spend all of that $20 which you have worked for.If you cant afford to lose then divert into other activities in times of boredom.

Writing anything can help you to realize more than remembering by yourself so its a good move to identify how hard you worked to make that money and it can be spend in minutes on gambling.Ask yourself it is necessary to gamble when you can't afford for it then you can restrict your activities or atleast to minimum level which doesn't affect your financial budget.

We have our own battles when it comes to gambling, different approach to limit ourselves from betting, and different strategy to win in gambling. Writing is a good way to make yourself busy, and a good reminder for yourself that you can't just spend your money in gambling, because you spent 2 hours on earning $20 and it will only take few seconds to lose that $20 in gambling.

And when you get used to it (in writing) or whatever hobbies you have, you will forget gambling, and you will realized that you should prioritize doing something legit than betting in gambling which don't give you any assurance of making some profits.

What's your opinion on this......

Indeed, if earning $20 was so hard for you, you shouldn't gamble with those money. You can gamble with $1 or $2, but not with more than that, during one day. And if gambling is of no interest to you, but you still must try out some games in order to make substantial posts for your sig camp, you can do it with much smaller amounts, or even with just faucet money.

Overall I like your post very much, but unfortunately I have no sMerits currently to award you with one.

That's your way to keep away on gambling but how would you take to maintain it? Can you live without playing it yes then it's best for you but if you can afford to gamble since you have another source to generate profit then it's better but don't get stress for anything and don't aim to win big since it's not possible in this area not unless if we hit the jackpot.

Actually, diary writing activity, or simply noting down your thoughts on paper, even for discarding them later and not in a diary, is known to have some positive effects on the mind and thinking. Popular psychiatrist and ex Harvard prof. Dr. Jordan Peterson has talked about this in one of his early videos:
https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=1819316608386321

Don't consider it a panacea though. The psychology of humans is something that's hard to comprehend and study. But for sure, writing what worries you down assists you in the process of overcoming it, at least to some extent.

I dont see it that way mate,because i have known people who is hard laborer meaning they really sweat just to earn money but still?they are going to gamble mostly half of the wages they received so there is no chance of having that in mind if the gambler is really living into it.i must say that this is applicable for the people that has control in their mind and life.

You can use that $20 to gamble, but you must realize that there is no 100% chance to increase the money from gambling. You can lose all of $20 in the gambling table sooner or later, and if you can accept that, then you can gamble with all of that money. Or you can use some money, for example, you only use $5 to gamble and see how good your luck in the gambling games. If you can get winning in the gambling games, then you will have more than $5, but if you lose, that will depend on how much money you are willing to lose.

I have never thought about it in this way.If I think about it probably but I am not sure it will restrict me for gambling.When I think how hard I work for the money it should stop me but I follow another philosophy.After I divide the money for all monthly expenses adding a bit of them for unplanned spendings and some to save and if I have a bit of money spared I only use this for gambling.This has been my idea since always.

I think gambling its not good idea why you spend money on gambling instead, spend it on to your self like go out in evening and do the think what you gonna enjoy. Gambling its not good if you don't have enough money and you are very hard to earn don't gambling stay away from it because no one can be successful in gambling.

You work hard to earn money, from my life experience hard work is not always rewarded, but anyway bottom line is that you work to earn, what you earned you spend for your needs and for your entertainment. There's no running away from that, you will spend money that you earn in one way or another. You can try to restrict yourself from some pleasures and to save money, but is it life? I ask myself that is that life to just save money and do nothing for fun? I say fuck all that, if you have some money and you wish to spend some on your pleasure do it, you can go out and spend money on a nice evening, dinner and movie and everything else, or you can spend money on gambling. It's your choice where you spend your money and never regret for doing something! If you need more money try to find more ways to earn them, saving will not lead you anywhere.

Well this is your personal solution so I might not have much to say on it but I'm 99% sure, this strategy might not work for every other gambler. If you have a gambling problem go get that resolved totally by seeing a professional and not giving yourself self medication that might endanger you more. This might only have a temporary effect from the way I see it.

What then happen when you get an easier money (maybe as gift or charity) it simply means you'll spend them all on gambling since there isn't any note to remind you how hard you worked for the money lol. The best possible solution (obviously got the advuce from a professional) is to draft out a gambling budget and discipline yourself to follow that budget regularly.

^ Definitely right, earning money is very difficult to have even in a single penny. That's why if I am gamble and most likely I from sports betting. You can compute what you have earned in a month and how much you are willing to spend in gambling(win or lose).
If you think $20 is very affordable for you to take a risk in gambling, you can gamble on it. Always remember not to gamble your entire earning from your source of income. Just like me, I gamble 15% of funds from my monthly salary and sometimes my earning from this forum in joining the signature campaign. Gamble only what you can afford to lose.
