Some people might say that it is easier said to be done, yeah they are right somehow but still, it depends on yourself. Actually, it is all about a matter of discipline, we became addicted because we play big, what I mean is that every time we lose we tend to retrieve it back knowing that it won't happen and that cause of everything. If you have to manage yourself at first, you might ever suffer from addiction. As a matter of fact, I use to play on crypto casino since they are undeniably irresistible due to some bonuses and features it has like the Vegas Casino. Even I play I never fall in addiction because I set a limitation for myself and most important I never think it as income but rather as entertainment.

You do it correctly. Gambling is entertainment and not a job as some newbies think. Unfortunatelly it's impossible to get an income from gambling in a regular basis, sometimes we make profit, but if we keep playing we will start losing money sooner or later.
That is why limits are important, doesn't matter the promotions, bonusses or giveways a casino offers, always respect your limit and never risk more money than you calculated at beginning for your entertainment activities. If gamblers followed this rule, all of them would be fine, without worring their families, friends or creating problems for themselves.

I understand and i somewhat experience this situation and now i tend to stay away from casino because i dont have self-control. I learned to accept losses because chasing it will only lead me to more losses which will sink into me when i spent all my money.
I'm happy for you because you learned how to control yourself by stopping and staying away from gambling. To be honest, there are times that I'm getting greedy when I'm gambling especially when I'm losing money. My mistake is I don't know how t stop myself when I'm losing but that is when I'm a beginner. Now I can control myself already. Just be disciplined and self control Smiley.
Learning from our mistakes is important, that shows we are matured enough to accept our defeat and adopt with a new strategy to still enjoy gambling but being able to limit our loses. Discipline will help us do it, not only in the losing situation but also in the winning situation.

This is where discipline comes in. It also helps if the other funds would be kept away to avoid spending them. For example those for saving can be left in the bank (meaning you only withdraw a small part of your paycheck). Utilities can be enrolled for auto-deduct, again so you don't have to hold the money at home.

Instead of a credit card, maybe just use debit and put a low limit on it. That way you gamble only with the small amount in your wallet.

Those are the things that a gambler should take into consideration before entering a casino or accessing an online casino.
You need to set aside the money for your necessities first and at least savings for your family.
I've learned my lesson as well on this part of my life. Lost money in actual casino and from then on, I told myself to gamble only my extra extra funds.
If you will really chase what you've lost, you will end up more broke and maybe you will lose your head in the process also.
But sometimes, only when a person experienced such struggle owed to gambling, will be the ultimate wake up call to change his ways when it comes to gambling.

If you don't mind me asking, when did you start including gambling money in your budget? Like, how long after you've started gambling?

And is it just "extra money" or you do set aside a certain amount?

Also, you are lucky you were able to manage your gambling early. I believe there are some members saying they had people leave them first.

It is better you know it already before the worst thing happens to you. Not exactly all of us are have that self-control and know our limitations, having a distance from gambling will help of not getting tempted to play again. We know already how gambling will affect our minds especially when we badly addicted to this and we might be lock-up which we are hard to escape.

Good to know that you know this and you have decided to quit gambling. You can develop the skills and self control and then again resume the gambling. Gambling will surely eat your money and make you sad if you do not play sensibly.

That I was think too before in gambling because I think you addicted now on playing gamblinh, but if you play like twice a week or thrice it's okay and use the extra money that you have only and don't use more money to pkay gambling. Gambling addicting people once the player experienced winning in their first try until the player lose all of their money just like what happened to me last few years ago but I know now how to control my self so even Im playing gambling again Im still earn money if I total my my lose since I started this year again.

Gambling like you have consumed my brain and money. I went down to play gambling with the first 100 dollars and then my whole meaning was lost. Thus, on one side of my mind such as brain decay, money also gets exhausted. As a result, I still suffer today.
So in my opinion, gambling destroys both the brain and the money.

Thank You

Well that is how we think actually if one is not a gambler or risk taker.

But, a true gambler does not think this way. Just imagine how much fun in playing and will just take it away from your possession? It will even results to depression.

This is why that gambling never stops. The fun activity made it the reason why it still present and operating even if it means that doing it illegally.

Well, the problem is US(gamblers) if we are going to be an addiction, we could not gambling industry on that matter. We have our responsibility to control our selves from addiction and we must apply self-moderated to our self just to avoid such thing that gambling might our brain and money to become an addiction. Indeed, we are the one who had a great decision and managing were right or wrong.

I could only imagine if most of the gamblers can have their responsibility to control themselves, then addiction will not happen to them. Besides that, they will get fun inside the gambling because they know that gambling can make them addicted and they will prevent the addiction.

The most thing important here is how we can control ourselves in gambling, so gambling doesn't eat our brain and our money, and we can prevent from the addiction. That is hard, it's not easy as it says, but I believe that we can do that.

Self control is not easy to achieve and im sure that everyone will agree on that fact  because all of us did already experienced to become addicted on a certain thing not just on gambling  .  im not addicted on gambling but im addicted on social medias . i can say that it eats up my brain but it does not eat my money not unlike to gambling that they can eat both of your brain and money .

Though it is still addiction that im facing right now  .  im still on my way of combating this addiction of mine

I do not think gambling - eating your brain and money. Gambling is one of the most exciting online games that entertain people, while on the other hand a good way to earn money. Yes, if you play gambling, financial loss will not mean that gambling is eating people's money and brain. Where the question comes, there will be financial losses in the game of gambling. Gambling is not eating the brain and money. Rather it is a popular medium of entertainment.
When someone has become addicted then it can happen. You can see that many people are stressed when a gambler has become addicted and they can lose all the money they have. But different when someone considers gambling as an entertainment, the gambler will be much more comfortable. This is something that depends on the nature of each gambler. The choice is only two, namely to gain a number of benefits or to get entertainment. Choose according to the characteristics, but personally I am much more agreeing to make gambling games an entertainment.
I agree with you Gilang that's good choice for all of us as community of cryptocurrencies, it is depends on our selves in gambling games but unfortunatelly it is like blaming the gambling games related with cryptocurrencies, we must make clear that gambling and gambler are something different so we can not do blaming that gambling eating your brain and the money just because of addiction of gambling games, it is bad for the growing of cryptocurrencies especially in gambling industry.

Gambling is never been a source of income and treat it as an entertainment but people are way too greedy which they do cross overboard on the border and becoming addicted and in return or the consequence they
do mess out their entire life because of that.You should be aware on the possible risk of addiction on the first place when you do tend to play gambling.Everything should really be on control if you dont like to destroy your life.

Many people think that gambling is a way to make quick money, but that's not the case. When i started gambling, i was quite happy, as i won a few round and make some quick money, but as the time passed I just lost all my funds.
I am one of those people who strongly believe gambling as a place to make money. If I am not doing it with the aim of making money, why then am I now playing? I am not disputing the fact that the game is interesting and can as well be entertaining, but the goal of playing is always to make money.

Most of you all that always blame people not to see gambling as an avenue to make money are not always been sincerely to yourselves. You incautiously play for money but you are not aware and that is the reason you feel sad whenever you make loses. If you actually play for fun alone, then you wouldn’t feel bad when you lose.
Keep believing gambling as a place of income and you will come out of your nightmare the day you loose an amount that will take you months to recover from the hurt. Gambling is meant to be an entertainment and if you trace down to the history of gambling you will realize that people who played then did it more for fun.

I am not disputing that you cannot make money from gambling but don’t let your mind see it as a place for money, otherwise you get thorough hurt the day you loose and that mindset can make you commit big money because you want something big in return. Just be wise
Maybe a lot of people will agree with you. We not means if gambling is something that make money. But if someone already think gambling is be something that can be income source, he will end with bad.
I don't think so, actually I think that besides being entertaining, I hope for win and profit too in gambling. which means, I hope gambling is my income also, but in reality gambling does not make nightmare to me, I draw the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with your purpose to gambling, the important thing is you know the limits and controls

Set something like 10% of your income and label that as "entertainment". Use that for everything related to entertainment like movies and gambling. When it runs out, you stop spending until it gets topped up again the next month.

This is actually a very good suggestion. But still I believe that 10% of the total income is a bit high. If alcohol, sports.etc is included, then it can be reasonable. But it will be quite hard to keep this 10% target. Chasing the losses is a habit which is very difficult to get away. I have seen even the most experienced gamblers doing it.
10% target is an optional. You can set whatever amount you want but it won't help for sure. You can lose control yourself at any time during gambling and just raise your spending limit.

This is where discipline comes in. It also helps if the other funds would be kept away to avoid spending them. For example those for saving can be left in the bank (meaning you only withdraw a small part of your paycheck). Utilities can be enrolled for auto-deduct, again so you don't have to hold the money at home.
