 This topic is sooooo me. I have ALWAYS talked about how you should have limits and slow play it. I put 50$ deposit on any game I play and I play with amount as much as allowed until I feel like I am ready to gamble and put like 20 cents or so at the line each time even for that.

This would require me to lose 250+ times in order to finish my money all together. I feel like that won't happen at all (never happened but who knows) so I gamble with the same amount of 50$ for weeks and sometimes months.

Yes I have never gambled more than 50$ at one sitting. Thats my psychological limit. I don't mind losing 50$ and I can gamble for hours with that amount. As long as the result is minus fifty dollars I am happy with it as an entertainment value.

Most of the time I don't lose all of it or even maybe sometimes up a bit. That way I can keep gambling for a long time with the same money for weeks. Setting up limits and not breaking those rules should be the first thing you should focus on before gambling on crypto market.

Good for you, you are not addicted and not planning to get addicted on gambling, because once you are, you can easily forget that you have that limit, not all but most gamblers are like that.

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,
Yours OshiHugo, Oshi.io CM

I set limits for everything I do in life. You do not want to go into a poker, or any casino playing blind. Always set a limit as yyou may spend $500 and only win $200. In the end you loose $300

Its important to set limits and boundaries before diving into this dangerous sport of gambling.
The ups and downs can cause a person to go mad if they are caught chasing, so setting limits and boundaries is 100% essential to long term survival.
But then setting limit becomes useless if the player get mad and want to chase down losses. We all know if gambler get mad, they can't control their emotion and lead to more losses. Even in win, overwhelming feeling makes them continue to play and play until their winning get lost.

we can lose all money we have if we are getting mad because we will forget about the limits that we already set. then maybe we need to consider controlling our emotion first and then we need to set limits so we can prevent getting mad and we can stop the games if necessary. this will need practice over and over so you can control your emotion and obey the limits that you make.
Agreed, in the case one loses self control, they can lose a lot of money that they would regret for it after the game, so it is the most important thing to obey the limits that are set up before the game.

it's important to limit yourself, to avoid a bigger defeat. because if there is a limit, even if lost, we can avoid the game and follow limitations that we have set. I always do that.
To me i think think yes it is too much important at least it can prevent you from a very big lost, If you do not have any limit in gambling you will like to continue playing gambling tell you become empty handed, but if you will play gambling up to a limit at least it will prevent you from a big lost you will lose a certain amount of money in a single day.

Any gambler, particularly ones low on funds or having lost a lot of money recent should definitely set some limits for their play, to ensure their hobby doesn't become a destructive addiction. Playing limits are an essential way of ensuring you only lose what you can afford, and protect you from yourself. If you're somebody who has lost a lot of money, or has endangered their livelihood by playing, then you should seriously consider imposing a limit on yourself.
Instead of imposing a certain limit for them, why do not you ask them to stop this game and move on to something better about health and mental as football, gym or yoga, should not encourage them to continue to gamble, it is a bad habit and harm to their wallet and then their whole life. I have seen many people advise on setting limits but believe me, it is just a very thin shield layer, just after a few psychological attacks of gambling, this shield ruptured and came up with many problems, in the end everything comes back to the beginning, there is no limit, there is no stopping and bankruptcy

Spending the amount we are willing to lose is the safest one can do but when we are in that moment that we wanted to badly win sometimes we give in to our desire and go beyond our limits. I think this is our nature and I think we ahluld all work out with that and we should learn how to control that.

...
Or do you just limit yourself by setting a certain amount of money to spend? Or you don't limit yourself at all?
Setting some limitations or controlling yourself is the key to not losing a lot, you can also set some "profit goals" and stop playing when you reach it. As to myself, I sometimes limit myself, but most of the time, I just don't care until I get busted, which makes me really sad, but still repeat it.

DO you use casino's instruments to prevent you spending more money?
Haven't seen one, but maybe letting the site admins ban your account for some time counts?

Setting personal limits for yourself in sports wagering is intuitive if you want to survive and be around for a while.
Without limits, people tend to "chase" and can in return dig themselves into a deeper hole.
Rather than doing this, it's best to just turn off your computer or log out of your account and wait for another opportunity to beat the bookies.

Yes i set up limitations for my self because through this I can monitor if I already meet it or not. Its not that easy to handle gambling addiction so I limit my self to avoid addiction.
Sure, I did set upfront limits for myself when playing in casinos and when doing trading (which is a form of gambling for me, too, and with negative expectation too) and luckily that I did because I was able to tell myself stop at the right time.
Setting limits for yourself in gambling makes you a smart gambler in my opinion. And like as you said that by setting limits for yourself, you are able to monitor yourself and I think by this monitoring of yourself, you would be able to save yourself from much bigger losses as well as the consequences of gambling because in that way, you would come to know when to stop.

While gambling or trading we have to set some limits for using the money, otherwise, we are going to face some serious problems. While losing it is not good to play continuously it will damage your all asset. So please avoid while losing and in this way, you can control your emotions in other aspects.

I set limits for anything I do in life that could effect my finances. When it comes to gambling it is best done responsibly I always set a limit. And if I am to lose that limit i will "LEAVE" or "GO HOME" because at the end of the day, what fun is it loosing everything you brought. If you can not afford to buy a beer before you leave then you should have left a long time ago. Casinos will always have the house advantage. play responsibly and always set a win/loss limit!!!

My personal limit is between $20-$50 per fortnight or so. I hate losing money from my own pocket, but I'm willing to lose more if I'm paying with my casino winnings. I remember once winning a few hundred dollars at Roulette. I ended up wagering it all back and I won again... Everyone at the table was looking at me. I quickly cashed in before I lost it and left the casino. That is a good memory Smiley
It's actually good if you can maintain within your limit.
I know we all want to gamble but most of the time we lose, that is why sometimes we loss control of our emotion and we go beyond our limit.

Gambling shouldn't be mixed with emotions and sentiments that's why gambling is a choice so you needn't have to get involved if you are an emotional freak. I don't think we have many "gamblers" today but rather there are a lot of people who found themselves in gambling and don't know jack about what they are doing and it's the reason why the are always losing out to the bookies..
I also would suggest the same to the person who is emotional of all the time that to stay away from gambling as much as possible because if he would go for gambling, every next day in his life would be much worse than the day that he has passed and if that will keep on going, his life would be made hell in this paradise like earth and I think he would face deadly ends.
