many times simply "being disciplined" is easier said than done.

to limit the access to addicting behavior probably two usefull ways are:
- using and alarm or timer (so you set a right time to do the acitivity)
- limiting bankroll available

do you see other possibilities?

I don't really think what you've mentioned are effective.

I mean, gamblers will always be excited to play gamble every single day, and waiting would not help especially if they have nothing to do anymore, so why bother waiting. Also, limiting their bankroll is imposible as well, especially if they are winning too much, which next move will be betting too much and losing too much, that leads to playing the whole day chasing the losses.

I believe in the 3rd option mate, and that is "Always bring your wife or Someone very close to you" when you are in gambling time.

Let them stop you whenever theres a call, so in this you have a Human alarm and not just an sounds that you can just deny anytime .

definitely the most effective
if you have a trusted person that you listen to it will definitely help
good comment, thanks for sharing bitterguy28, seems like you're not so bitter after all.

I also thought about my wife when I read this question. In fact, it is very reasonable and convenient - it is easier for two to endure any difficulties, plus when a person is closed in himself, his shortcomings/weaknesses are of decisive importance. In a couple, everything happens differently.

Alarm, no matter it is normal alarm or a life alarm (human), it wont be effective if you have no control of yourself.
Simple example when you want to get up in the morning, if you have no will to wake up, even if your wife scream loudly on your ear then you wont wake up.
Is it even comfortable for you to have someone sitting next to you when you are gambling?
I do prefer to gamble alone as it is something uncomfortable to have my wife or someone else sitting next to me when I'm spinning slot games or playing other games.

Once I determined for myself that when I make only a few bets a week, or a month, the results are much better than when I made a lot of bets in the same period of time and often lost. Because I had to study a lot of information, analyze a lot of matches and I got tired and made more mistakes.

That is a sign that you can have better luck if you make a few bets in a week or a month. You can see that the results are much better, so you can try to test it again in the next weeks to know how good your luck. Playing gambling every day can make us have high tension and high curiosity about winning, making us spend more money. That will be dangerous for us because our chance to lose will be bigger. So limiting our time in gambling will be better than to use more time to playing gambling.

I never believed in giving yourself some timeout off gambling not until I had over 10 betslips all losing *favourite teams inclusive**,which was enough to tell me am over gambling because sport betting such isn't common for me.

not only gambling but we should limit time to all really addictive behavior like gambling, videogames, ~~cocaine~~... I mean... you know what I mean.

organizing schedules and being disciplined helps a lot

For video games and casino it is possible to schedule your games but for sport betting its a little different but am sure something can be worked out.

It does.

Every activity that's being done too much is going to cause addiction and that's why no bias if it's only in gambling but as well as other activities that can make someone addicted to it.

Do it moderately and with control, I agree that be disciplined at most times.

^ Definitely right, it should be well organized so that no one will interrupt you while you are gambling because you know that it is your free time not during office hours. Organizing and limiting your time is an act of self-discipline as well. In this case, you can avoid being addictive behavior because you know your limitations. However, you can do all of those if you will put all your activities in a small calendar which is there is a date and activity to set. So this is very important to us and not should be ignored.

When you have family, work, friends and some other activities, one way or another you will plan them all. This does not mean that you have some kind of addiction. In fact, this question is relevant only for a small number of people (who have an almost unlimited amount of free time), most people live in a tight schedule and a constant lack of time.

Correct.

Managing your time doesn't mean you're addicted on it, in fact you're very far from it because gambling addicts always prioritize gambling above all else, instead of being productive, they will just spend most of their time on gambling throwing away their money every single day, that's the real addiction. Time management is always important to boost yourself on doing the things you need to do to feed yourself or your family every day.

Sure. By the way, maybe this is why gambling addiction (like any other) has a certain appeal - they seem to erase all other worries of a person and he has only one goal - to gamble, gamble and gamble. This is a pretty strong drug and it is not surprising that in order to quit it you have to switch to another addiction or religion or something else dubious.

When someone consider that they need to schedule their time for gambling as well then they are some kind of addiction to it, no one should ever make it as daily habit even though if they are having time limit because over time the addiction will increase and increase and will result into severe kind of addiction.

On the other hand when someone gambles occasionally they need to have a time limit so they can avoid getting exhausted.

You have other channels to spend your time, it's far better than using it all with your gambling activities. If you do know how to balance your time you simply avoiding yourself into any addictions.

Anyone who have a good control from both time and bankroll managements mostly enjoy the benefits of their gambling participation,

but to those who overspend time around gambling, they also bring a huge amount of money to lose out with their gambling activities.

I will say it's also an addiction when someone thinks that it is must-add gambling as well into their schedule, probably the earliest stage if you ask me. gambling with time limitation is a kind of discipline where there is no disagreement but my argument is when someone considers that gambling is also a must thing in there to do list for the holidays or any day then it should be avoided though.

Everyone has their own method for dealing with gambling addiction. Gambling can become addictive, when you begin to think that it's too much of a hassle to stop, so having this willpower can do a lot for your mind and your mood. When you learn to control these urges, it will be much easier to stop gambling.

still that calls to be Self controlling , dedication and perseverance .

Quote

The next step of your process should be to focus on setting some time limits and goals for your gambling. Be reasonable about how much you are going to play and try not to play more than you can afford to lose. Having a limit helps to manage your risk and keep your integrity intact.

Budgeting your funds, if you have extra 50 bucks for the week then allocate that for that chance and also have plans on how much you can get to stand up.

if you plan for x5 that is more than enough but tolerable and higher than that is greedy.

do you really do? lol even millions of gamblers tells their stupid stories yet people continues to become addicted because instead of learning they are more interested in beating the house.

I am afraid if that is happening, that is because they do not have control over gambling so it makes them lose their money and in the end, they become addicted to gambling. I am sure if they have control, nothing to be worry and they can playing gambling anytime they want. The problem is that playing gambling can attract them to go deeper into the gambling games and make them forget to take care of their money instead of still using the other money to gambling. Those things need our concern so we do not become like them.

Glad to see majority of community members have their gambling activities under wraps and control. Even as a gambler, I do have limits which keeps me on track as too much of anything is bad. So I tend to stay within those limits. I have a gambling budget and a progressive plan that sees this budget grow overtime as I add to it on a weekly basis then I fund my other activities like trading cryptos, leverages and even tryout defi farming on dexes. One thing I would never do is to take a loan or going into debt just to satisfy a gambling addiction. Gambling is a mix of fun and business for me and I don't let one or the other become too much.

It is very important to keep ourselves on track and in control as we gamble.

that's why we must Keep our funds updated and has limitation , best to allocate amount even before we play.

We know the consequences and how hard it will hit us if we're going to neglect the negative effects of it. But as soon as we're able to understand what it can do to us, we're becoming careful.

The question is do gamblers really knows the consequences ? or most of them only realized after losing.

I personally have never gambled traditional or offline poker but even so, when I realized there were the best times to gamble online poker then I started limiting my time for gambling poker. Indeed, things like this are difficult to realize at first but when we get to know more about the characteristics and cards that are obtained, then at least we will get the best times to start playing and when to stop, at least so I can limit the time to bet on poker.

I have the same problem as you, if I don't limit my time for gambling each week I would spend way to much time in online casinos. There are so many great games like dice, poker, black jack or just roulette. But if I don't give me a limit each week how much time I can gamble, I would gamble every evening for hours probably. I usually try to only play 1-2 nights a week poker and another night for other casinos games. The problem when playing tournaments in poker is that we don't know how long we will survive, it could happen we get knocked out in 30 minutes, or in 3 hours.

The sad thing is that it is incredibly easy to give yourself a time limit of how much you can gamble each week, you could easily set up your smartphone to sound an alarm after the designated time and then you could stop immediately then you keep track of how much time you gambled by writing it in a notebook and then you stop gambling that week when you have reached the time you have given to yourself to gamble, it is so easy and yet I see many people losing track of their time when they gamble, and while understandable as we tend to lose track of time when we are having fun, at the same time it is inexcusable.
