Anybody in gambling that does not set some limits by default without being told, is actually calling for trouble in which when it comes, it might be too much to handle. I set a limit for myself in the ones I am playing and that is a separate balance is kept for gambling at any point in time if that amount is exceeded as a result of winning, the extra is transferred out but if its depleted as a result of loss, what I do is to wait till I have free money to float it again.

He's really gambling his money if he doesn't set up a limit. This is the attitude of most of the gamblers before when they don't learn from their experiences. It's not a good timing if you'll not set a limit when you gamble, you are just dragging yourself to lose with your money and it's like a free money for the house if you keep on doing this.
it will take some time before a person notice that mate, he will keep playing without any limits trying to recover its previous loses even he almost win
but because of really aggressive to bounce back and win back everything then suddenly it will lose again everything.

If he is rich enough he can gamble without any limits but money is money and it can all be gone with just a single blow of your rage bets. And this is why setting up a limit for yourself is always as recommend thing to do, you have to know on what you should do when you are in those situations in between of recovering and chasing your losses or by just simply stopping at that very moment.
Money makes no friends so thinking that if I have a large bank balance; it will stay this way forever regardless of my useless activities is like fooling me. Every amount can reduce to zero if spend carelessly in random games.

Moreover, gambling has the feature to suck away the balance from the pockets of the gamblers and it is pretty fast in doing this.
Correct, having more money does not give you a license to waste it, besides is not like a rich person is going to play betting the same amount of money that we do, he will probably bet 10 times more money and that means that his money is going to be lost 10 times as fast as our money.

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.

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!
Cheers,

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.

Limits must be made when our emotional timings start to appear and can not be controlled, we can also analyze when that time appears and should immediately withdraw to cool the situation, we can immediately move to another business or offline and rest.

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.

It involves alot and someone needs to be patience not to lose everything. When you already lose some amount you will most likely want to bet more and that is how you are going to lose everything. We dont realize that we have made mistake the moment we gamble for profit that is why we need to set up limit so that we wont lose more than what we have lost

Without limits plan, a gambler will be like an aimless wanderer. They don't know when to stop and how to appreciate money. And the final result from such habits will be bad, very very bad.

how true, setting up limits is some kind of personal audit that you do on your gambling lifestyle and that can really position you  for a successful gambling life or the opposite abyss of addiction.
no matter how small is your bankroll you need to set limits for yourself if we don't audit ourselves and have some limits we will simply lose money it won't help anyone but would only effect our lifestyle in the future

Gambling is always a risky business. It would be dumb not to set limits for yourself. Even high rollers set limit for themselves. It actually can be divided into two self limiters of some sort. Either you limit yourself by the money you would spend or by the time you would be playing. Either way, you would know if enough is enough whether you're winning or losing.  Lips sealed

It is always very risky and that is why a limit should be needed. If we dont have any limit then we will risk alot more then what we expect to risk. It is difficult at first to set up this limit but once we get used to it then we will set it everytime we play. In the end it is going to help us save some money incase we are too addicted to get back what we lose
Ye i agree.We should always set up limits for ourselves especially if we are engaged in a risky thing like gambling.We will lose everything we have if we always go with our emotions not thinking what will tomorrow be like.I believe setting up limits for ourselves will make us more clever and wise in everything we do.

What is the true meaning of the word gamble ,it is not gamble what you can afford to lose 
Where did I say that?
the real meaning of gambling is to take a chance which means taking some risks,just stop taking those and you can control yourself,it is an adrenaline rush for some ,find some other source of fun and divert your energy if you are loosing a lot. Wink
You missed my point.

Every gamblers, I'm sure have a plan before they set foot in gambling places including limiting the amount of money they'll stake and how much profit they want to get. But unfortunately, many of them fail to defend their plans. And this happens because of many things. To be honest, it is hard to defend our initial plans while on gambling especially if we already lost much. Mostly we won't use our common sense if we faced such situation.

Setting up limits for yourself is one of the sensible things to do when you are gambling, It makes sure that you don't go beyond your means, Some people become indebted to the very casino that they gamble at and that doesn't bode well at all. going to the casino with a fixed amount of money to gamble is the best way to control yourself.

I ask the friend that they set me limits on the game since I can not always afford to limit the amount of gambling. I really like this process and I can lose all the money Cheesy
Friends won't be always around you, what will you do then?
Better learn how to control your money and your limits and not to ask your friends to set up limits for you. Learn true meaning of words "gamble only what you can afford to lose"!

That's right we should always be liable for the loss that we are going to take specially the risk involve everyday. The limits that we are talking about here is how to manage the current situations of our funds which is fearing to lose in the current bets that we pushed through for our gambling activities. Because if you don't have that control we might have regrets in the future.

Yes, people who are into the gambling should set some limit for their self, which will help to control the loss in the gambling. if someone know that they can not afford to loose the money after some point, then it would be a limit for them. I prefer to play on weekends for fun purpose and i am not addicted towards the gambling so there is no need to set up limit.
I will fully support you in this regard. Gamblers must put limits to not only the number of times they play but also to the amount they play with which must be equivalent to the affordable loss.

Most of the times, profit seekers become addict and they are the ones who keep on betting even after a great number of defeats. Gambling when played for only fun with intervals, it will never harm the gambler.
Yes i have limit for doing gambling for day wise. I separate some portion from my wealth then divide it on 30 then i use this portion as limit for my day game. If i lose all of the fix amount then k quit for that day and by this i have good plane because i never offer all of my wealth to gambling. If someone have no limit the he may lose all of his saving through this because if for that day you ate not lucky then there will be chance for you to become the poorest man. So make limits.
It is important to set limits in all of our actions or otherwise we can get into trouble. Discipline plays an important role for being successful in this life and I think we must have some principles in our lives too. In gambling, a person can stay safe only if he will play within limits. He must not only make plans but also act upon them. This is the most important thing after all. This way he will also not become a victime of greed.

Ofcourse im putting up some limits on my self when playing gambling because i need to be productive and need to manage well my money. I've lost all my money once and after i put limits on myself and controlling my greediness I successfully earn a lot of money . im not actually more into real casino i way more playing on a gambling site and sports betting where i could actually win with a 75% chance.
Yes of course, this is the thing that will avoid addiction, we all know that gambling is not a good method to earn money it is just a past time if we feel bored do not make our self addict in gambling it is not good for our health.
