This is about how do you make sure that you are gambling in full control. There are many people who are easily brought into gambling beyond fun and that is a problem for them and also for the gambling industry, because it is for them that there are limitations in many countries.

Do you actually...
- Have a weekly budget to play and do not ever go over it?
- Not ever get in debt for gambling?
- Have an allocated time for gambling and never exceed it?
- Gamble only socially with friends of relatives?
- Have someone helping you control your gambling?

I don't have a weekly budget of any sort but I do make sure that the amount I deposit for gambling is a non-refundable amount for myself.
This basically means that I consider the amount as lost already before I deposit so that I don't have any hopes of making any profits from it.
This way, if I win profits I get happy but if I lose the amount then I don't get sad since I had assumed the amount as lost anyway.

I don't go in debt because the amount is from my earnings. I make sure that amount I deposit for gambling is meant for leisure and fun and doesn't exceed from my regular expenses. I play with that amount until I lose it all and then take a break for a while until I can get an affordable amount to gamble again.

Too much ‘genius’ opinions on this topic. Maybe it’s time for some real proofs. Does anyone want to make a journey of 1 month with limiting their time allocating for gambling and the next month without? That would be fun.

If you have control, you can try it and make your own journey of 1 month, but if you do not have good control, I suggest you do not try that because you can lose your money anytime.

I prefer to hold my bitcoin and altcoins this time because I see a chance for me to sell at the next high price of bitcoin and altcoins, so that means I can profit from trading. I can play gambling on other days and not today as I want to make money before I am late.

If you have that good balance and you really know how to limit yourself, that journey might be fun, whatever the result may be you acan easily take it and move forward.

But if you don't have that personalities, it's really tough and dangerous as you can get addicted and completely lose all your money.

The fun won't be there if you lose all your savings, best to anticipate things befor you push forward.

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.

That is a possibility however anyone that goes through that is probably an addicted gambler anyway, after all if all the gamblers of the world did that how many of those are going to come out ahead and be in profits? A very low number, we do not have to run the numbers, we know we are behind but by having a budget then you can more closely watch your gambling expenses and see if you are spending more money now than what you did before and cut those expenses in that case.

If you are having a good day and you're profiting more with trading and you've successfully left the gambling life, you should stay there and don't allocate any more time in gambling.
Thus, if you want to comeback and you think that you can control yourself, you can always anytime you want.

He can do what he wants, no matter if he prefers trading than gambling or if he changes his mind, but if he doesn't gamble anymore there is no reason for him to post such amount of messages here like if he was a real gambler. He should stick to trading sections in this case.

That's false, why he wouldn't have any chance to win? If he's lucky he can quite easily make money. Moreover I don't understand why you are still posting in the gambling section if you think gambling is just a waste of time and money? I hope you are not spamming for bounties... Undecided

I dont have a weekly budget .Just some money that im willing to bet with. For me the most important thing is selfcontrol and not going in debt.Taking loans or something is a big NO for me.The best thing for me is to go into a casino with my friends and gamble.Online gambling is fun but not like real thing

Non surprising but why would ask out for real proofs? There's no point on accumulating because results or outcomes would be evident even lets say that they do have that control in one self but later on we
have seen that he had financial problems then you can already tell that he isnt really doing the real thing behind.

We should be honest to ourselves because we are the ones who do mainly get affected in terms of finances if we dont mind about making out limitations or proper handling of it.

Always take all things in moderation not only limited on gambling time but also in other things well. Everything is too much would really be bad.

Personally I think keeping track is a wise decision as it helps analyze in the future if we want, relying only on memory is tricky
writing down our feelings and thoughs also helps a lot on learning more about our decision-making process too.

It's helpful for those gamblers that can't manage their funds and all of sudden realize that they ran out of money, and also, in some cases, it helps to realize that you gamble too much and simply can't afford it if total monthly income and expenditures are taken into account.
However, with many players, it doesn't work, because the problem isn't with realizing the amount of money you lose (many gamblers already know how deep they are), but rather with doing something about it.

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

.

But that's the opposite for me and no longer touches traditional gambling, somehow I prefer to be alone and face the laptop to keep gambling online casinos and this has become my habit in more than 1 year of being at an online casino.

All the bets that I understand I will definitely try including sports that are often bet in every European league match for me this is quite fun if it is one of the perfect bets, but that is the challenge there are in other casinos that make you run out of money therefore I think we need to manage everything.

Of course, i would gamble when I have "free time" so as not to interfere with my work and real life.

Not having luck is too normal because the nature of online gambling is controlling our luck, I am not talking about sports betting, I am talking about some forms of gambling that are face-to-face with online casinos, the indicators and odds are already formed on their system, we will lose on every betting path is all the story here. Limiting on playing with friends is actually a better way to limit gambling time, we all understand individuals will have different activities and jobs, sometimes a gathering is easy but regular is not possible

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.

Maybe when you can lose a bunch of money and don't care, then yes tracking your expanses might make no sense. But people who gamble to make their life better (they hope to) should actually track the amount they are playing. It can be helpful in being able to stop before it's too late.

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.

What you did is right and you are in the right way to control your greed. But you still need to be careful because greed will always come to you, no matter if you win or lose in gambling. While you still learn to control your greed, you should have limitations in time and money, especially to know how long you can playing gambling. Maybe we can win in a short time and we might say that we can play for more as we still need more time, and that is greed that whispers in our ear. So be careful if you get that in your gambling time and do not let that possess you.
