Yes. I put loss limits after a series of losses on most of my long run bets. And only remove them for short high risky bets.


Setting limits could only minimize the chances that we could have in gambling, and the addiction also, but we have to realize that no matter what we do in gambling, we are still going to lose since it was made that way. A certain gambling site should make a huge bankroll everyday in order to operate in a long run, so that only means in order to do that, most of the players who are playing games in gambling sites should lose.
Limits can save us from massive destruction but it cannot erase loss from our fates. Gambling is risky because it depends upon the luck of the gambler and nobody can be really sure about his luck. Why would casino and gambling sites want the customers to win more? This way they can't earn profits from their business. It is better to not fool oneself around and care about money a little bit.

Hi guys!
We all know that gambling is not only a fun but also potential danger. So are you limiting yourself somehow when gambling? DO you use casino's instruments to prevent you spending more money?
Or do you just limit yourself by setting a certain amount of money to spend? Or you don't limit yourself at all?
Thanks for sharing!

I always set a limit whenever I gamble. However, the problem is, sometimes I don't follow my own limitation. I enjoy gambling a lot and I think I'm addicted to it. It's true that gambling can be addicting, and I'm aware of the consequences that gambling have. It's really  hard to stop whenever I start gambling.

Yes, and both ways. It is easy to get carried away when winning, so quitting whilst ahead is recommended. It is also important to set a stop loss limit.

I know right? But the thing is, if you are gambling now and you are having a good wins, I don't think you can think of this. I am also setting up some limits to my gambling activities sometimes ( sometimes because even if I limit my self every time, I always break that limit) and there are times where I don't mind these limits and still gamble until I lose my control and lose also my money.
Greed and temptation from the profits of gambling is too large, it hypnotize our mind, so even if we set the limit, we will still forget the limits and pass, we do not recognize this until we lose all the money in our account. If we play gambling in a short time, setting limits can be effective for us but if we play gambling regularly and for a long time, the limit is just a thin sheet of paper, it can not prevent us too long, we will soon puncture it, I rarely play gambling but when I play I usually do not set limits for myself, I play for fun and want to reduce stress after a week of work, limited only made me more difficult to relieve stress

it's becoming an addiction

If you feel that way then you should probably look for something that is much worthwhile doing. Find a day job or get yourself involved to other things like sports or take a course in college.
Yes I agree with you that when we spend a lot of time on other activities we can avoid the bad effects of playing gambling. I feel that we have an addiction when we have no activity. the bad impact gambling game may be avoided and we will have fun without any risk that might happen.

Yes, I limit myself when it comes into gambling. the maximum I can spend on gambling is 0.01 per week and if I lose it all then I will stop gambling until the next week but if I can run it more than 0.01 I will keep gambling till I lose or get rich, go big or go home.

There should always be a limit when it comes to gambling. Setting a certain amount for gambling would help you avoid losing all your money. Gambling is highly addictive especially when you're winning, but more often than not, you lose. So unless your gambling skill is superior and luck never leaves your side, I think having limitations is a must before gambling.
Gambling is very addictive no matter what, period, if gambling was only addictive for those that won then no one will be addicted to gambling since the odds are that you are going to lose sooner or later and yet we see people losing everything in the casino an that are addicted to gambling.
The reason, I think, why gambling is addictive is that it is because of the person gambling himself. The issue with this is that gamblers have in their mind that there is that possible chance to win something out of gambling. However, they end up being addicted trying to chase that chance. Addiction is truly a fascinating. It's really just a mental state, so the best thing is to have mind over matter.

I ask one of my friends to put a limit on me or control me during the game, because sometimes it's difficult for me to do it myself. It's so exciting and you do not want to limit yourself.

if you are the one with discipline habit i think it could be work to keep limiting your bet amount , your time to spend on gambling and your losing limit , just hard to find people who did the same way when it comes to gambling .

the game and money involved there was too strong to rejected ,

Setting up limits indeed involves commitment and some amount of discipline and so if you're a gambler who's got absolute control of himself and his emotions thrn you're good to go ahead and limit yourself according to a prepared plan and you you can be successful with gambling.
you need to have a bankroll management skill. an ability to control your money get in or get out of your pocket.

set up the limit help anybody to prevent become an addict , make you have less regret also. but the biggest problem are on how good you are keeping the moment you limit yourself? how long it could be last? it is just for short time and mostly failed unless if you have that discipline.

Setting limits and being willing to follows it will really help us to lessen our loses and to have a much effective play. Effective in a way that we set goals that when we lose ttalready such amount we wi nt let ourselves lose more same with when we already win,we will not let it lose right away since we can stop playing and enjoy the winnings since were in control.
always be the biggest challenge to keep your winning stable or maybe more to impossible thing in gambling isn't it? but at least you know your status with bankroll management , are you in huge loss? or in good profit to continue gambling?

you need to completely stick on the rules no matter what , and your betting limitation plan will work.

Yes. And this is the best way keep you from being addicted to gambling. Gambling becomes addicting when you exceed your limit and even borrow from others or sell your properties.

Gambling is fun. But you always have to be responsible and be aware that it can really be addictive. In my case, the allotted limit for gamling will already be considered an expense. That means that it is a money that I can really afford to loose for that momeny.
Even you set limitation on your self you always avoid playing gambling as long as you have money all people are looking for eaiest way to earn and the gambling is the way limiting your self is it like your fooling your self haha , Gambling is really fun but know on how to quit for your own good.

I set limits for myself because I understand all the danger that gambling represents. Without a limit, it's hard to stop while playing when greed absorbs you.

Yep without limits, one would continue to gamble, especially if you are in a winning/losing streak. If you are winning, you always want to win more; when you are losing, you want to recover your loss. I have had in the past, but lost a nice amount of money, so now I always give myself a limit where I need to stop.


Yeah that's true, usually gambling involves a lot of patience and self discipline. I guess that's the key to gambling really. You just need to try and keep the deposits at a minimum to ensure you don't lose a significant amount that you will regret in the future. I would say that it is optimal to just bet like 1% of your monthly salary every month and that should be it.
Gambling requires a lot of discipline and patience in order to stay safe. If a person will gamble carelessly, he better prepare himself for the financial disasters that surely will be coming his way. I don't find gambling a very good or extraordinary entertainment and people who have become rich by this are not even respected by the real people who have put efforts and have great achievements.

I set a limit for myself which I can afford to lose painlessly for one game. This allows me not to lose thoughtless money and enjoy the game. I'm not nervous because of the limit.
Good thing you know how to limit yourself, there are some people that are not thinking with their bank roll, they just want to win but the truth is, they cannot make it, they need more luck to win in the game, some people are too boastful when they said that they can get back their loses which is not. We need to set up limits to ourselves to less out loses.

Boastful people and gamble never get success in gambling. They always show off their winning and in the end when they never get winning then try to win hardly and in this way, they waste their money and nothing in their hand, i can all them addicted boastful gambler. But limitation is necessary in gambling, if we have decided limited money for gambling, then we never become addicted even we have lost in gambling.
Setting up limits to ourselves sometimes this is not the solution, there are people that even they set up limits to themselves they didn't follow it. If they want to play they just do it. As long as they want to they will play gambling. Setting up limits is not for addicted persons because they will just waste that and don't follow it.

It is very hard to control emotions while you are gambling, i lost a lot of money when i used to spend all my bitcoin earnings on a casino a few years ago, i didnt have any knowledge about how bitcoin works, and this is how i lost more than one bitcoin in there.
I was not aware of that, and i could not put limits for myself, but bitcoin was around $300 by that time, so i didnt lost much money.

Whether we will use bitcoin or fiat in gambling it's necessary that we have to instill discipline to ourselves to ensure we gamble based on our limit.
That would have made you rich right now if you have not spend your bitcoin, imagine from $300 dollars value we are not crossing to $5,000, that's a lot of increase, right. I hope you learn from your mistakes so you can enjoy gambling based on your budget.
