I am not very interested in online gambling because I prefer to play real traditional gambling with friends, and limit playing to the right times when all friends have money to bet and play for fun.
the reason I am not interested in online gambling is because I don't want to be sustainable and have tried it but never had any luck and made me less interested and only tried it occasionally.
I tried both traditional gambling with my friends years ago and online gambling I think 2 years ago.

As per my experience, I still prefer traditional gambling. I'm enjoying more on it than online gambling where you can only chat with other people online. I like to gamble with my friends than just gambling myself. With regards to gambling time. I still remember that I'm spending more time gambling in a traditional gambling compare to online gambling. Since I only gamble on sports bet online, I just make a quick analysis and then place my bets and that's it. I will just wait for the results that is why I'm not that happy with it. I want to try casino games too but no money as of now Cheesy.

There are some people who keep on telling to themselves and to the people around them that they are still in control, they can still control themselves in gambling but cannot actually apply to themselves, some keep on playing games to the point that they got lack sleep because of gambling, in my part, I only gamble when I am with my friends especially before when the casino gambling was not restricted from their customer or the day before the pandemic, right now I am only playing depends on my mood, I also gamble when I have extra money.

Correct, quite honestly I do not know why people do not do this more often, after all it is important to keep track of all of your expenses so you can plan how much money you spend on everything so you can save more money and invest part of that money in bitcoin, and while it is possible to save money without a budget it is going to be many times more difficult as it will be more difficult to find areas of opportunity when you do not keep track of your expenses.
Obvious thing.
And many people record all their spends and income. But there is not so much people who can resist to an idea for some extra spending for gambling (or something another). Budget will not help you if you can't follow it.
This is the main idea of that topic.
Does keeping a record and keeping track of your expenses make a change? I tried doing this and realize it was just nothing, it doesn't change anything, the luck that I have, the winnings I win, the times I lose, etc. It's just a record btw, nothing can happen even if I didn't do it,... Out of the budget? then probably I spend it all LoL.
Or this just make a budgeting so I can play more and have a chance for other games? is that it?
It really doesn't give or bring any sense IMO, just play, lose it or win it.

It is not easy to control our emotions so as not to be greedy, because it is a fun thing when we manage to win gambling and get money.
Even though the victory we get can be lost instantly, if we experience defeat when playing gambling again to be able to get a bigger win.
Therefore, why gambling has an age limit, so that people who play gambling are expected to think maturely. In order to limit ourselves
when it is time to stop playing gambling, if we play too much it is also not the pleasure we get. We will be stressed, because we know
the longer we play gambling, not the more money we make, instead we can lose even more money.
Even if that is not easy, we must still try to control greediness if we do not want to lose money in gambling. Maybe we have that experience when we win, our emotion becomes bigger and leads us to still playing gambling and use that money to get another winning. If we can not control ourselves, we will lose the money, including the win money and if that happens, that will be no use for us to win the games. That is why we really need to take care of ourselves in gambling games to prevent the loss.

Every gambler should be able to control greed, because greed is one of the reasons we suffer losses. Although it is not easy to control greed,
I agree with you, we have to keep trying until it works. One of the exercises I do to control greed is to immediately stop every time I win at gambling.
That way the profit I get from gambling will not be lost, because I didn't continue to gamble after winning. Doing this is not only greed that can be
controlled, but indirectly we also become accustomed to limiting the time to play gambling.

Although it's common knowledge that excessive gambling should be avoided and knowing when to stop is necessary in the gambling industry. I think experiencing to loss until rock bottom is the best teacher for those who lack the discipline to stop spending money on gambling.
That hard lesson will really teach a gambler to rethink and stop for a while. The realization starts by that time.

Unless some people enjoy losing and being broke, in my opinion, I bet on sports and gambling in totality for me is about having fun and gauging how much I'm interested with whatever I'm betting or spending money to gamble on.
I don't think someone's happy to be broke and gets a lose from time to time.

I don't gamble a lot of times but whenever I do, I feel like I can't stop so basing on that experience, I would say that probably I am not good with managing my time when I gamble. Good thing that I don't have a lot of money and my Internet isn't that good so I can prevent myself from doing online gambling because I know what happens next.
Those situations that you're experiencing right now is a good act of fate because it stops you to gamble. As based from what you've said, you cannot control yourself and it's hard for you to manage your time.
Having that said, you're really being helped by fate because of the situation that you're with.
I hope that he does not have an experience when he wants to make money online because if he has that, that will make him feel sad because he can not use the internet to help him make money. But whether if we have a good internet connection or not, we must control ourselves when we gamble so we know how much money we use to gamble. Besides that, having control for ourselves will always help us know that our lives are not just for a gamble or doing one thing. We need to do many things in our lives, including making money to fill our daily needs.
Good act of fate it is. Although of course, when we indulge in gambling and even in other things that have the potential to cause harm when devoted, we must learn and stand to control ourselves and be responsible in every action or decision taken.
Maybe before you indulge in gambling, you need to learn to control yourselves as we do not know what will happen to us later. But unfortunately, not many gamblers want to learn it because the first time they gamble, they will say that they want to have fun by spending some money. But sooner or later, they will not even learn some lesson about controlling themselves instead of trying to get deeper into gambling, which makes them lose more money.

Why does it seems like we have a same vibe when it comes to gambling mate😁 I am not also playing gambling a lot of time because I have a limited amount of money to used in my gambling activities, also i'm too busy to spend a lot of time to play because I am also working from home but whenever I do I feel like I can't stop too.
So to be exact I hardly controlled myself when it comes to gambling and I have a strict rule about 1-3 games only.

Not good at casino games. And it still controllable because i not often to bet in a football game. Because not all team that i know and sometimes i discuss which team to pick or maybe what kind of bet that i must take. If not, then i am not gambling. Maybe because of that i still considered to limit gambling time, because sportsbetting not always have good time to pick not like casino games which can make us play everytime.

Do you actually...
- Have a weekly budget to play and do not ever go over it?
I don't have a weekly budget. I bet on sports if and when I see a value bet. If I know the state of the two teams, I'll place a bet on the match. Sometimes I watch a live match on TV and if I think I can predict what will happen, I put some money on it.

- Not ever get in debt for gambling?
I have never played with money that I need for more important things in life.

- Have an allocated time for gambling and never exceed it?
Not really. When I am on holiday, I tend to play a bit more.

- Gamble only socially with friends of relatives?
I am not that into casino or card games, so no.

- Have someone helping you control your gambling?
I don't need that kind of help.

Good thing that I don't have a lot of money and my Internet isn't that good so I can prevent myself from doing online gambling because I know what happens next.

The first few times I gambled online it was hard for me too to stop. When you go to a physical casino it is much easier to stop, because you want to eat and drink something. But when you are at home and have the snacks and a beer right next to you, it becomes so much harder to stop gambling. That is also why I stopped completely to gamble on my phone, it is better to focus more and play on a desktop PC or a tablet in my opinion. Without really limiting my gambling time I would have probably lost quite a bit of money, because I tend to not always stop when I won.
Therefore, when addicts find it difficult to stop at least they still have easy access to visit gambling sites both online and offline. Because with them having other activities and also no longer having easy access to entry, an addict will at least slowly become away from gambling and that will be better able to time them better.

There's should always a time for enjoyment and leisure because majority of us do live out on a very busy life and sometimes being pressured.Just dont let your greed control over you when you do get involved with gambling since this is the primary issue you would really be facing on if you do really let yourself being hooked into addiction.
Everything should be in control and if you do deal with gambling then it should have limit, not only with time but also with your finances.
Dont risk on the amount that you cant afford to lose.
Everyone knows about those gambling facts and try to do their gambling with proper plan. But most of them loss their control while they plays. Getting addicted is the nature of gamblers. If gamblers can manage their time perfectly then gambling won't affect them. It will also help to maintain gambling fund. But there are some people who took gambling as their profession and finds all the fun in it. Even, many of them able to maintain profit always. They gamble continuously and rarely takes a short break after winning something big.

Good thing that I don't have a lot of money and my Internet isn't that good so I can prevent myself from doing online gambling because I know what happens next.
But I am not seeing those external stops are good thing in long run. Because, at any time in future you will get a superfast internet connection and your small valued crypto may turn tomorrow somehow big enough to support you to gamble all day. I mean self control is something you must develop on your own.

Otherwise, we may get into gambling with no limits which will again ruin all your plans and saving. Now itself plan for short gambling which is only thing able to be sustaining with you forever.
Yes, people can't rely on negative aspects of their life, like a bad internet quality and low budget, as safety measures against compulsive gambling. This way, the person is going to live forever in those bad conditions in order to avoid gambling addiction or this person is going to improve his life standard a little bit and will most probably lose all the progress made due to addiction, returning to the zero again.
On long run it doesn't look good. The individual must learn how to deal with the desire for gambling and how to control it to stop wasting money he can't afford to lose, while improving his life financially.
this is true because Sometimes I stop and think What if I'm rich I think I will waste most of my money in gambling and later become addicted and loose all my wealth .
 I realised that being not rich have a benefit too and that is having a self control  .
The other times I feel motivated to work hard to earn more cash so that I can play gambling  but If I to choose I will choose to have a good life because this is not for the sake of gambling  .

Keeping it on track will make you aware of how much you spend.

In that activity, you can determine if you're still on the right track or you're pushing towards more than the limit that you've set. Thus, you're also forgetting how much time you've spent on it together with the money you have set.
Correct, quite honestly I do not know why people do not do this more often, after all it is important to keep track of all of your expenses so you can plan how much money you spend on everything so you can save more money and invest part of that money in bitcoin, and while it is possible to save money without a budget it is going to be many times more difficult as it will be more difficult to find areas of opportunity when you do not keep track of your expenses.

Keep a track of all your gambling expenses can be something worst as you may force yourself to recover what you have lost if your stats is bad.
At first you will feel the regret when you know your own stats (in case it is a big negative), you will ask yourself why did you gamble that much and this will lead you into a desire to get what you have lost back.
Next worst thing that may happen, you lose even more when trying to recover.
So basically keeping track is good but you also need to know how to deal with the track/stats.
Its back to self control. Once you have good self control, keeping track is not necessary at all.
