Frankly from my experience, you can't just learn to control gambling. You have to develop a habit whichwont come overnight. You have to form it slowly and gradually.
Experience plays an important role during gambling. No strategy can help. The losses you suffer, the embarrassment you face, the problems you get into, will shape you and your kind and make you mature enough to control the greed of gambling. You will know by instinct when you are gambling money which is "important". And this takes time until you know it.

Should we be disciplined in gambling, does it mean that we are better at gambling, or that we put less money at stake with more enjoyment, less fear, adrenaline, etc. ?
I guess you're trying to cover so many things under one single question. I believe that you need to realize the importance of being disciplined everywhere like being disciplined while trading is very much helping and also for gambling. Being disciplined must be following your predetermined plans and not following your emotions. Emotions of the actual killer for every gambler and being disciplined will help any gambler to achieve their dreams.What exactly does it mean to discipline yourself in gambling (in the narrow sense)?
Some gamblers will make money when they are betting with lower amount and out of greedy when they are increasing their bet amount they will lose all of their bankroll. This is one simple example how being greedy collapse all your plans and money. Not being greedy is one good way of being discipline. DISCIPLINE does not only help you in gambling but it limits an individual to the extent of his/her winnings or losings.
The problem with gambling revolves from its nature being tied to risk. The vicious cycle starts when an individual gambles and regardless of the result, he/she will always be compelled to gamble again to WIN (if he won) or to recover his losses (if he lost). Without self-control and discipline, an individual is likely to succumb and fell into a financial complications in the long-run.
Nailed it with the right thinking regarding to danger when a person don't have any discipline while inside this industry, gambling if being treated as enjoyment form of leisure can be acceptable but once a person got too engaged with this activities it can harmed the financial state. That's the very reason why discipline is needed to make sure that you are in good control of your financial fundings. The problem with gambling revolves from its nature being tied to risk.

Discipline for yourself will bringing you to the next step to consider gambling as enjoyment moment because unlike other people who only thinking gambling to earn money but if you discipline during gambling then it makes you more confident when starting gambling but if you lost then you will consider that as usual thing and never thinking to recover your losses so in my opinion discipline in gambling not makes your gambling results better but it will makes your mentally better when facing lost or won
The OP I think pertains wether the discipline helps in gambling or not; not necessarily to make the result better which means that the output should always (most likely) be favorable of you. It's indeed that discipline is vital in gambling but it's just a factor though. Some irresponsible yet fortunate gamblers exist but of course we should never have the same mind set as they have since we're not too fortunate like them thus it'll just lead us to losses, making our decision most likely be inappropriate.OP is seeking discipline from gambling, and I think that if a person is really disciplined he would not take gambling in the first place, Because gambling is a Risk magnet and it will certainly cater a lot of losses if this is the mindset for people then I guess there isn't someone that will play gambling and casino anymore, but a person if they had discipline in taking money for granted I think he will have a great time in making the right decision even if you are the one that is playing in a casino, I guess discipline is really needed, A good decision can not blur your choices when it comes to gambling.

Being disciplined is not gonna get you anything in gambling.
I will totally disagree on this because I know how disciplined will save us from losing along wayQuote
You're lucky, you'll win and if not you get your wallet emptied. Maybe if you are a self motivated person you can keep yourself strong on losing and keep yourself into control on winning. This is where most common mistakes happen and causes frustration, depression, stress and all other mental illness. Discipline will let the user stay away from self harming.
Self motivating is part of being discipline,but that’s correct controlling ourself will be our savior from losing higher

If you don't have the discipline, you will likely be one of the gamblers who are blaming gambling for their misfortune.
This is a kind of game where the risk is very high, people who have no discipline has no room in gambling and you'll never be safe if you don't have that.
I've been gambling for many years already and one thing I learn is to stay discipline all the time.
I have experience chasing my loses and it always end me regretting of my wrong action.
Agree with that, discipline is very important, even the professional have a very bad day in gambling but since they have the discipline, they always follow their proper bankroll management. This is a kind of game where the risk is very high, people who have no discipline has no room in gambling and you'll never be safe if you don't have that.

They are also realistic as well, they know they don't win all the time therefore it's normal to loss therefore its necessary that as a gambler we should have the control in gambling, beside their very aim is to win most of the time so they will be profitable with the right bankrill management.
For me. Of course, Discipline really matters in gambling you need to set some limits so that you will not lose bigger amounts. It is better than going all out or all in sometimes it pays off sometimes not. It really helps you in making decisions and other stuff. Discipline is really important in all aspects and our daily routines.
Perhaps, if many gamblers can have discipline in gambling, they don't have to face a bigger loss. But we are human which is not perfect and we still learn about discipline and many others to prevent from the mistake. Making a limit is one of the preventive ways that we can do in gambling, so if we can gather with discipline, it will work well for us to save our money.
But there will be lure or passion that will keep telling us to go on, and on so we might lose the discipline, and we might break the money limiting. That will depend on how strong we can control ourselves to hold our emotions.
If you don't have the discipline, you will likely be one of the gamblers who are blaming gambling for their misfortune.

It is better than going all out or all in sometimes it pays off sometimes not. It really helps you in making decisions and other stuff. Discipline is really important in all aspects and our daily routines.
Limiting your exposure is crucial. Set the amount and stick to it. For example if you go to physical casino, take $100 in cash with you and leave credit cards at home. Everything else is just a matter of entertainment.
Of course if you gamble away $100 every day that might be a different problem - addiction.
Having exact amount is really helpful and that’s a perfect example of being responsible gambler meaning you have a discipline and may prevent to become addictedOf course if you gamble away $100 every day that might be a different problem - addiction.
We have known those gamblers that has no restrictions when playing and they all end up losing and some turns being bankrupt.
So yes discipline is the best weapon to battle gambling addictions and losing credibility’s because of this bad habits I’ve become a victim

Discipline certainly helps to minimize your losses if not maximize your profits. Discipline with respect to your frequency of playing, medium of gambling , moves to counter others on the table etc. certainly help in gambling. Also, setting your timely budget for gambling and sticking to it will definitely help you perform better and rest can be left onto your luck

strong enough to not be faltered or influenced by other trivial things. (i.e buying unnecessary stuff just because you think it's cute)What needs to happen to make it happen?

Yes, Discipline is one of the fundamentals in gambling which every gambler should have. but it doesn't mean you are better at gambling than others. Me interested in answering the last question?
gambling is not as easy as ABC it is a mental game having mental strength means having more opportunities to win.
Yeah it can help but to avoid regrets and massive losses only. Because being have a discipline on this kind of gamble is a big gift actually. wherein you can set your limitations always and enough is enough. Unlike others which have no discipline." no retreat" but after losing big amount of money always regrets as well. Lol so being have a discipline is a big help in my opinion when it comes gambling.
I play gambling as entertainment. However, gambling has to be controlled by Emotion. If you lose a bet, the big bet can't be taken at the next. Many people make this mistake. After losing the bet takes more bet. Because of this, he eventually loses his funds.
Yes you are right i remember when i first play gambling games i nearly got addicted because in whole day the thing i hold is my computer playing and betting in casino sites and yes i waste too much money and regret about it later so from that i set my discipline which is only gamble the money that i can afford, yes gambling is fun but without emotional and mental control it can lead to a wrong path. That's why i think not just discipline also emotional and mental control is a must to avoid being too addicted.
