Yes i can now control myself in gambling because i don't want to get addicted and be greedy again just like what happened to me last year that i got greedy and i lost thousands of money due to gambling addiction. It is the reason why i am scared to gamble for a long period of time because any time i could be reckless and greedy again, that is why my friends or my brother is always by my side whenever i am gambling to control myself but i am now only gamble for entertainment or for leisure of time.
Do not think: when you lose while gambling is lost, each game and entertainment has a fee, if a person is going to the casino regularly, he/she must pay the service. Everyone wants to make a lot of money in gambling, so who will lose? Yes this is a hobby, just have fun.

Most of the time I could stop myself if I want but of course there are times that I would get carried away and gamble as much as I want.
Those time would only happen if I am having too much fun due to winning but if I am losing my .oney I could just stop whenever I feel that I would just lose it all.
So it would depend if I am winning or losing it is easier for me to stop when I am losing.

One of the good ways to enforce this self control is to get tired of it Everytime you want to back. Building this habit or mind will keep you going for a very long time.

Sometimes if we get tired of the result, we still force ourselves to continue playing gambling without care about the result anymore. It happens to many gamblers, and they spend more time playing just because they want to get the win. Mostly, they will end up losing all of their money, and that makes them difficult to recover because, in gambling, the recovery process will not be easy. Sometimes we will lose more money without a chance to recover, so we need to be careful in controlling ourselves.

Can you consciously and willingly stop gambling at any time?
YES. Gambling isn't my daily habit, I just played gambling when I have the intention to play or want a bit of entertainment. And also never expect too much about the prize in gambling because I know it is sometimes luck-based. That's why I don't spend a lot of money on gambling, I set a certain limit on my funds. So, I have no difficulties to play or stop anytime.  Wink

In my life, gambling has a significant but not fundamental role. I don’t feel bad if I stop playing, in fact I can do it at any time.
I do not have obsessive thoughts if I do not play for a long time. Probably my addiction is in the initial stage, which makes me happy.

If we are gambling just for fun and without the risk of giving up something important from us, I don't think stopping gambling will do us anything good. We just waste the opportunity to earn easy, and based from luck. With that, we should also think to stay from the status that we have, because if we play too much, that is when bad things happen, especially we can addicted and opportunities will turn into burden if we don't know when to stop. Thus, falling into your question, do I have control? Well, the answer is yes. If right from the start we aren't taking gambling too serious that we risk things that are essential to us such as funds alloted for necessities, we are good and there's no reason for us to stop gambling. But if destroys family and relationship, take time to think twice maybe focusing on being productive and stopping gambling is advisable.

I gamble only extra money so i wont get emotional or have wild decisions, especially when im in a losing streak. It gives me the mentality that "oh this is only my spare money so i haven't loss really anything." the most probably important thing to keep in mind and avoid addiction is to think about the consequences when you start using the money you really need. To gamble and eventually get rekt hard.

We better use gambling games as a way to get fun so we can feel happy. But not all people will think like that because some people will use gambling as a source income. You should always control yourself because if you feel you are addicted to the initial stage, that can become bigger in the long term if you still play for a long time. It is what we need to do to avoid the addiction, and don't let our passion for gambling become bigger too.

Can you consciously and willingly stop gambling at any time?
If you can do the above, you have great control and discipline, of course you are not an addict and you deserve to gamble as much as you want.
If not, clarify your ways of stopping gambling.

Yes, i have maximum control over my activities in gambling, and i think it is as a result of my free styling skill with it.
We need to make sure and ensure that our livelihood and living standards does not fall on us earning from gambling as this is one reason why addiction sets iN.

As an individual, you need to make gambling a set aside game where you either win / lose and it wouldn't have effect on your personal financial economy.

If you control your emotions to betting well, then you certainly can control your finances perfectly.

Tendency that you'll be back from how you suffer before is still there, make sure that you will not lose site from your friends or your brother as gambling urgency will flow around your mind especially when you are losing money.
Your savings will once more be at risk when the time that you really feel the urgency of playing without any limits.

It all depends on everyone who plays, learns to analyze and learn every step of the game itself and play with full discipline and make a strategy after you master the game.
and when playing gambling, you must be able to control your money while betting, don't let the money that controls you in that way you can control yourself and play calmly and relax don't be emotionally provoked.
Of course, having control is the good way to discipline yourself and to avoid loses. Also when you have control its makes you stay calm and focus which especially when playing. And the good thing about it is you cant avoid being addicted in gambling because you have discipline, that's the important if you have control.

How many people are there who have discipline and control in their game ? Not many gamblers have control over their games. People play gambling without any plan and most of them are addicted to it. If you have no control over yourself, you will most probably end up losing your money.

Well atleast you’ve learned from that experience and it’s good that you are now able to control yourself, I just hope you can do it consistently because I’ve known few people who learned their lesson the hard way and promised to never do it again, they were doing great at first but later on they went back to what they are before and lost again tons of money. Controlling one self is not easy as what other people think, in order to be of control over gambling, one must be discipline and is consistently in following his set goals and not letting emotions do the decisions for him.

As a long time gambler my answer is yes, because when we were young out priorities are not so much heavy and as a I experienced of being e teenager I want only fun and entertainment in life. But when we in the stage of being an adult we need set our priorities in life like future, families and other goals in life, so that the time comes that we need to stop playing gambling forever. Many adult gamblers are just playing gambling when they have a leisure time only, because they have also priorities in life and it's right.
For those who have become addicted and live in circles or people around with the same habits about gambling, then even though you have become an adult gambler and have top priority for family but that does not guarantee you to stop gambling easily. Cases like this have happened a lot and when someone just gambles to fill spare time or even for fun, then of course they will have good control but when gamblers who make gambling as a source of income, then they will not have good control because it will continue to bet until they get the desired results, the thing that can make them stop gambling is awareness and a wiser mindset.

Honestly i am not addicted to gambling so i can stop whenever i want.
I gamble once a while when i want to play and when the money that i invest lose i know how to stop playing.

This is what people should be able to do it that is control and stop as and when required on their will. If they can do ths then nothing can stop them as they can gamble and enjoy and even without being getting addicted to it. Only thing as it involves money at times some one may get easily carried away and should be in the mode to say no when things starts getting out of control.

Very good. I hope you can keep it like that. Most of the gamblers are unable to continue doing so. Make sure you spend time on other stuff too in order to keep your habits in check.

Would suggest you not to consider gambling as an investment. Unless you are investing in the casino's bankroll it is not an investment. If you are playing against the house you are having a lesser odds of making a profit than the house. Thus it will be a loss especially if the game is an EV- one.

For skill based games, maybe if you are a good poker player, it can be your investment or staking someone whom you know.

And the good thing about it is you cant avoid being addicted in gambling because you have discipline, that's the important if you have control.

With having control of yourself, everything will be fine, and you don't have to worry about losing big money because you can prevent it before it's happening. Having control is a difficult thing that every gambler should have because in gambling, losing control can happen anytime, so we need to take care of the control no matter if that is hard to do. Maybe we can practice to control ourselves by only use small money and play gambling for 5-10 times and then quit gambling. If we can do that 10 times, then we can increase the number of playing and see if we can control ourselves or not. If we cannot control, then we must learn more to have the power to control ourselves.
