Gambling has become easier than ever with technology.  I do believe that people are getting started a lot of the times with video games since a lot of them have gambling features in them.  First you start gambling with virtual items then you move onto real money.

I'd like to share about my real experience, actually it worked for me if I bet big in a single bet compared to dividing it with different bet with the same total amount I have to risk. When I do place my bet in sport, I do analyze before placing my bet and I can focus on analyzing if I have do to it with a single match up as I can choose which is the easiest to cap.

Same probability in many bets or 1 big bet, but many bets means you can last longer, more entertainment. For me, gambling is entertainment so I would rather do $10 every week for a month than $40 in one bet. If I lose 1 bet, my fun stops and I have to put more in to enjoy myself. More bets also is more experience with sports;)

Everyone has good and bad habits, they reveal them pretty well in gambling too.
One of the bad habit is when someone is losing and instead of stopping, it gives them stimul to continue and are super confident that they'll win with last bucks.
Also 5th advice was really very good and essential, when you are angry, you are riskier in gambling and every loses makes you even more riskier which leads to an unstoppable game with more and more high bets.
When someone has to urge to continue despite being so unlucky on a certain day, that was the time they already lost their mind.
They need to control their emotions or else they will just gonna end up losing more, just like what happens to me when i lost my self-control.

My additions:

1. Not mentally preparing - don't gamble when you are depressed or angry, it'll just make it worse if you lose and it's going to affect your play.
If it effects the game, then it is nothing a big issue. It'll affect the living of the user as money is a factor that keeps people stress free.

2. Not making a budget and sticking to it - if you just keep on pulling money out, you could soon find yourself short of cash for other stuff. You could end up dipping for money reserved for utilities, etc.


Yeah, budgeting is a must with everything. Whether it is a small spending or something high this needs to be planned prior. In other terms each spending needs to be noted which let's you make the budget better and better over the days.

And yet this is where most people fail. Gambling messes with the reward system. Most people (not just with gambling) start with a strict budget and over time things get inserted, etc and the budget don't get followed.

Since this is one of the main pitfalls for gamblers, if they can set up more measures to avoid it, they should. I think one smart one is to have a non-gambler friend that can monitor the money you are sending into the casino and that you only send money to the casino through him/her.

Seeing my winnings and still want to get another win and at the end end up losing all my gains to the gambling platform. This has happened several time to me and made me to regret why am not obeying my instinct. This action at a time cost me almost my savings for 3Months and still fill the pains till now.
If that's repeatedly happened better to keep away from this activities as it will surely harmed you more after, making things like this is no longer  a mistake but an habitual addictions that's needed to be overcome, take your break from gambling as you'll be losing more and more, as from the way you described your attitude to this activities will keep endangering your savings.

3. Never gamble with money that isn't yours, this includes taking out loans for the purpose of gambling  because this always ends in you losing all the sourced funds and will result in putting yourself in bad books with friends and family.

Agree with the list here but I believe there's a lot more of "habits" or actions that needs to be avoided when gambling. But just want to add here, since you already stated it, that although it's your money, think first if it's okay to gamble 'that' money. Yes you own it but for me, you still have to think about your priorities. If you need that money for an important purposes, then don't use it for gambling. Only gamble your EXTRA money. If you have more than enough of what you need, then go. But think first about your priorities and less priorities.

That's why gambling habits that will cost you, but it is your big mistake that you have used your 3months saving, it is really painful that you did it. Over all gambling is risk and gambling is not a platform where you use your saving, but at least you have regret, so the next time you will not do it again.
We should learn in our every bet then we can save our-self from losses in gambling.

Greediness will always end up you to lose all you've gain. The question now is did you learn from that mistake or you want to gamble again to recover that loss. If you want to gamble for profit, the moment you earn some profit you start to withdraw it and stop thinking you'll win more if you continue.

Don't put too much money on a single bet.
Don't chase losses.
Set $$$ & time limits.
Don't gamble with borrowed money, including credit card.
Don't think of gambling as a way to generate an income.
But even if people do what you say, don't bet too much and play gambling reasonably with seriousness and control, gambling will still make them accept a very expensive price, it can be in the long run, some will be short term because gambling habits, more precisely, participating in gambling was not good. Although we can maintain a reasonable game mode but over time, failure, the amount of money we lose, it rises to a very terrible level, if we take full notes, the price we will pay is a large amount of money, time and fatigue in our emotions.

I would say that you have made a very great decision and  frankly investing is safer and better than gambling directly even though the profit might be small. I got to know about this after I had lost too much to gambling. It was at that point a friend told me about gambling investment I have no single regret about this.

This doesn’t stop me from gambling, but I only play for fun and its occasional. The mistake we make as gamblers is playing directly for profit, knowing fully well that making huge profit is impossible since the house is and will always remain the winner, at least we all know that the odds are in favor of the house, so wisdom will direct to invest directly in the sites to enjoy shares from their profits.
Statements like this are only made by gamblers that are not willing to learn the required skills in each game. If we hear stories of gamblers winning million dollars from gambling, what stops us from believing we can also achieve this? I read something on the news last week about a guy that won over 50BTC from one of the gambling sites and according to the news, he had never won a dime before that time. Sometimes patience and a heart that is opened to learning is all we need to succeed in the game.

The percentage gambling investors get is nothing compared to what they make from playing directly on the site. So why invest when you can as well play and even make more profit? Just cancel fear, go for more knowledge and be determined to make money from the game and you will surely make it.

There is actually nothing wrong about dreaming but do you have what it takes? cause if you don't then understand reality it won't hurt you anyways. That's the thing that the guy above is trying to emphasize. Gambling is supposedly made to entertainment humans not to directly make a huge profit from this(although it is possible). Why invest? because it is obviously much safer.

Let me ask you a question have you done the thing you pointed out on that statement? Cause I highly doubted that you are also practicing what you were actually saying

- Don't gamble with a lot of money or money that you really need in order to increase it because gambling is not an investment.
- stop when you get a big profit.
- don't get angry when you lose your money then you put more money trying to recover your losses.
- don't think gambling as a way to make money but to have fun no matter how much you win or lose.

It is not just to stop in planning but to stick on it and consistently be doing this.
Planning is not difficult to make but the big challenge is execution especially when we fall into gambling addiction...than meant too hard to perform.

Only I put some bets when I have extra money to lose, that is my plan...nothing more.

The habit that you have to avoid when gambling is:

Don't make a lot of bet while gambling

Making lots of bets not increasing your chances to win
It didnt decrease your chance either  . you will still loose even if you are only betting small but this is better at all times . whenever i play gambling i tend to bet lower because i want to spend more time in that game  .  

some gamblers would be doing the other way around because they find it boring to bet less and  it will only take time to achieve their waggering requirements
The chance of winning in gambling is very slim and as such it is better to gamble with little amount and last long in betting. I have play more than thirty bets with 0.005btc and win some and lost others but i have play 0.015btc and lost all. Since then i have learned a lesson to play with little amount as possible.
