I think it's still very individual task, from the very first moment you have to forget that you'll profit, gambling while on financial stress is the worst thing to do because you'll lose current finances too.
Just say no to it, if you continue, you'll go deeper, better to stop where you are in stuck and try to come back, I know it's not so easy as I say but I repeat again, it's very individual, not everyone has high self control.

This should be on Gambling discussion.

Every gambler must play responsibly and it possible to some gamblers but impossible to addict gambler. I don't gamble that much nowadays as I only gamble when there a tournament for Dota 2. I do esports gambling now and left the conventional online casino as it makes me gamble every day. I find esport gambling much more convenient for me that regular gambling.
Gambling responsibly is possible for everyone. It is only a matter of decision.
Every men has an ability to control themselves just that many fail to do this or perhaps do not pay much attention to that aspect until they become addicted and this is mainly because of greed.

I have been gambling for over 5 years now, I try to as much as I can not to become addicted, there are times I find out am about starting addiction and I just learn to limit the time I spend on gambling each day. The strategies the OP listed above can also be helpful.

Indeed, a gambler needs pure commitment with his plans when it comes to gambling.
Because if he will not stick to those plans, he will find himself addicted again and really hard to go back to where you started.
Being a responsible gambler is very possible for everyone. You are fighting with your own self in this battle.

My advice is if you think you are addicted, don't try to leave it completely because it will attract you more. Try to limit it and divert your mind to a variety of hobbies and topics Smiley

Do share your strategies and efforts on how you control it and limit it if you are addicted Tongue


It's not only your advice. It's a common knowledge every psychiatrist will tell you when you go to rehab. An addict deprived of the source of addiction will think only about it and will be unable to focus on work or anything else. For this reason drug addicts are getting drug substitutes first.

I never had a problem with fighting addiction. I'm so focused on my daily routine that I'm always able to control my cravings. I do stuff like gambling, alcohol, drugs, caffeine, sugar, but never cross the line with any of them.

I don't get where are you heading here.

You are saying that gamblers that are gambling for fun and profit are different, well it is true that it is different but saying that they are fine or don't mind losing that is not fun at all. I mean, put yourself on that gambler, you gamble for fun and you are losing a lot of money, that is fine with you? If you are gambling for fun, and you are losing where is the fun at that? Please answer me. I don't get it.
I agree that losing isn't fun but you don't have to gamble a lot of money to have fun. You can have fun while gambling with a lot of money but you're more focused towards profiting than having fun since you're gambling so much money. You can do both but one is always higher than the other and it  will show based on your gambling activity.

No matter how hard you try to gamble for fun only, it is simply not possible. The main reason for this is that at the back of your mind, you have money in your mind. Even if your intention is not to win but still you have a fear of loss.

This fear of losing money will not let you enjoy gambling at full strength.


Well,  most things that are fun also involve money... so I don't understand what you really mean by it is hard to gamble for fun only. People spend a lot of money to get drunk, smoke, and have fun.

Responsibility is when you do have complete control of yourself no matter what the situation but the way i see it at you. You did a good job of allowing yourself to slowly forget gambling, it's like you are slowly moving on. If you are going to find some psychiatrist i think this is the same that they will tell you too. Addiction is not that easy to forget, it's just like you are moving on from heartbreak.
Indeed, when we are in gambling we know our responsibility. Controlling our selves is not an easy way there, once we have loose once I'm sure we continued coming back and this concept would be our mind. How could I chase my lost?
So, in gambling, we have our own responsibility on this and it is possible that we can manage it.

If you take gambling as a fun then it is possible that you can gamble responsibly. If you are addicted in gambling then it would be difficult to control yourself and things can often go out of control.

There also some cases wherein people develop addiction to something since it provide entertainment and satisfiy their hunger/need for it. I doubt that despite viewing something as a form of entertainment, there is always the risk of losing control and ultimately succumbing to addiction.

The only way to totally address addiction problem or at least prevent it is to replace the act with something that is recreational. Maybe instead of gambling or any other hobby, you can try engaging in the community or by doing service work.
Lastly, the first step towards change will always start at yourself. Without the strong will, determination, and patience, change would be futile.

It is possible.

It is all about self control. I'll admit you'll need a bit of luck too but it is mostly about controlling yourself. If you gamble every day with the %10 of your total wealth, you can't expect to survive in the long run. It is against math.

If you keep it way smaller, now you are playing responsibly.


Another good point. Small regular wins (if possible) is enough unless the wins are insignificant to the gamblers. The gambling thing is a bit similar to crypto trading or maybe it is just a general success formulas that may work in most areas of life

Yes think like a chinese gambler, Small win everyday is big win every month Cheesy That is the common strategy of chinese gamblers in real life casino. No matter how small, A win is a win.

The game with responsibility is not a myth, it is a reality, but it all depends on the personality level of a person, according to the books, what they emphasize most is that the player has a clear control over the value of money and that all the money It can not be wagered, only a small part.

When you compare the game with trading, according to a very famous speculator named Jesse Livermore, every time he won he withdrew half of his earnings to enjoy that money, not to leave everything at stake, he has to feel the money earned due to his effort , the same must be applied to the game, at the moment of winning a withdrawal of at least half of their profits must be made, and so in a psychological way see the value of the effort. This is largely due to responsibility, and to have control over the actions in the game.
Even people cashout their earnings made from the gambling are still tempted to make money so they will come again and will lose more and it is the reality.

We don't have to consider gambling for making money but when we made some of it don't get more greedy. Smiley
I get your point here, but there's also people/gamblers who can manage to follow this process, it's a practice that they enjoyed doing this activity,
the more they control their emotions the more they seen the enjoyment around, we already read lots of things about misfortune due to a gambler
greediness, instead of cashing out and enjoy, there's some who continue or comeback and loses everything again.

Many of us have in some part of our life gambled our money/coins. Sometimes we win huge and sometimes we bust it all. We all have our reasons to gamble. For many, it is financial stress, for many its a hobby and for many its an addiction.

But when we gamble much, we justify ourselves that we are just trying to win and not addicted. But many of us know, that at some point we really do become addicted to it.

We always set a goal of winning and then even when we achieve it, we continue to gamble and gamble leading to bust of all balances sometimes.

However, many types of research and statistics show, that most gamblers gamble responsibly. I find this really contradictory to what I have experienced and observed.

I have played on many casinos and at one point I was really addicted to it and I busted much daily. I wanted to leave it entirely only to get attracted to it again. So, I picked up certain habits;

  • I set a fixed amount I will wager no matter if I lose or win.
  • I set a fixed amount of winnings after which I stopped gambling no matter even if I think I can win more.
  • The moment I busted or wagered or won my daily cap, I closed the site immediately and opened YouTube, played a movie/song I liked and drank a cup of coffee relaxing my mind.
  • If the temptation arises too much, I open a charity website immediately and donate a part of my winnings and pray a bit. The satisfaction sometimes overweighs the temptation and helps me calm.
  • If the temptation still doesn't go away, I open the casino site and play with zero amount bets or with the faucet to calm the desire.
  • After that I close my computer and go out, convert my coins to cash, give some to homeless people on street, buy myself a coke/snacks and play a sport or exercise.
  • After a tiring time, I come home and study and then eat and sleep. Not opening the computer till next day.

My advice is if you think you are addicted, don't try to leave it completely because it will attract you more. Try to limit it and divert your mind to a variety of hobbies and topics Smiley

Do share your strategies and efforts on how you control it and limit it if you are addicted Tongue


Being obsessed in winning is a sign that you are addicted to gambling. No matter how you say that gamblers are trying to win but when losses piled up, these is where obsession comes in and takes control of your habit. You will get addicted to gambling if you are too obsessed in winning even if you lose a lot.

Gamble responsibly is implemented in almost all Fiat casinos and is being implemented gradually in crypto casinos.It helps as a reasonable person can set the limits to play offered by gamble responsible program of the casino, it works as once activated you cannot deactivate it yourself, you have to ask the help desk and they will go thoroughly before reactivating it so it is possible.

True, gambling responsibly really exists but it will depend on each person on how to handle it. If we are able to control our minds by not overreacting when we face bad luck or good luck, never try to risk the amount that exceeds our limits and cash out once we are lucky, I think we will be safe. Even though we do gambling regularly but if we have a stable plan and continue to follow it, it will be fine. The other important thing is, gambling isn't just about money. We must manage our time too. Don't let gambling steal most of our time which can certainly damage our main activities in our real life.

Betting again after you receive your monthly salary.  Grin
Correct, this is mostly what I have done. I occasionally gamble when I have some spare of money from my salary but if I don't have then stopped in gambling. You can stop being an addiction if you consider the fact that money is a very important thing that you won't waste anytime. Unless if you have a lot of 'em then go and gambling as what you want. I think that is possible to stop addiction by having control of self or self-discipline.
Definitely yes! Gamblers should always have their own limits so that addiction will be avoided. Although it's really hard to leave gambling even for a short time but if you think you are already losing too much, then it's really time to move on. Do not let gambling controlled yourself, you should set limits for yourself.

You can just stop or be addicted.

Okay the fixed amount to lose will really happen but the fixed amount when you are winning is impossible.
When you win you always want more. Greed is glued to humans and there is no cure for that.

Losing though can stop you from betting again because you have nothing to bet with.
Then, that is the time you will think if you should just stop or keep on. Betting again after you receive your monthly salary.  Grin

Personally I just gamble only for fun because gambling will make you loss eventually and consider profit as the bonus.

Yes, it's possible if the people themself are mature enough to think with rational !
