The most important thing you should have in gambling game is controlling yourself. Nothing else. By controlling yourself, you will be able to know when it's time to quit, how much money you can use in the bets and else. Controlling yourself will not easy to do because you need to have a strong mind to be able to stop in anytime.
If you are a gamblers you have a self control, if you dont apply it on yourself then you become an addicted, then you can avoid also to lose. Before you gamble make sure that you always a presence of minds if what is best that will you do, and think that a gamble is not to earn money its just only for relax and for pastimes if you feel boredom.


Self control is very important in any form of the game and in life as well. Because else you can lose a lot of money in this process if you get addicted to it and also can effect your health . So better to stay away form such things if cannot control it.

Me I do gambling for fun & also to win money I also set my goals to bet a small amount and set time limit and learn to walk away if I win big also
practice gambling with friends because its more fun to gambles with friends.


That's great, you won't have a feeling of upset if you are gambling for fun, that even if you loss money since you can assure that you can afford what you risk in gambling. Saying it is easy but to remain discipline there's a challenge as there's a chance your ego will affected when you experience bad losing steak, then that discipline might be loss.
The challenge is inside you if how will you able to control that emotions and greed that will flow while you are playing gambling, if you can stay that way and only do this to enjoy and have some fun then that's okay with you spending some of your money and not to allow yourself to get to much.

I would like to know what's your motivation to continue gambling  despite not making much profit? Do you think it is impulsive or you are still focused on winning something big one day?

It is interesting you said you enjoy it despite being unlucky

I think it is for entertainment because if you gamble for fun then normally you don't care too much attention on the bet you place but the enjoyment that you play while gambling and aside from fun you will feel thrilled while playing as well, so I think that is the reason why people still gamble even when they are unlucky.

As long as we gamble with the money that we can afford to lose, even though we aren't lucky, it will not give us a big upset. Indeed, even though we gamble only for fun, win will be the important thing. Gambling for fun can turn into the bad one if we are carried away by emotion and violate our original plan.

For most people (myself included), gambling at online casino's is a harmless pass time fun activity, but of course it can become a problem for many.   IMO, to lessen the risk of becoming a problem gambler, there are certain things i bear in mind such as,
  • Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money  Smiley
  • Setting myself a gambling goal
  • I Bet small  (don't blow all your money at once)
  • I practice gambling with friends  Grin
  • Set time limits and walk away  Roll Eyes

Many of these are easier said than done of course but it might be worth noting.   Online gambling is probably the best thing to happen since sliced bread  Huh and i'm not saying these points could or would work for everyone but they might help in enjoying gambling in a healthy, financially sensible way.

I'm interested to know how you keep tabs and control on your gambling to make sure that one does not become a compulsive gambler or problem gambler.  

I seem to be unable to control my emotions while gambling. So I had to seek help from my family members. I'd let them know how much crypto I have and where I have placed them. And possibly give them the passwords to the wallets or sites. I have limited my gambling to the bounty earnings. This way I won't be losing much.

It still depends on how gambling has a hold on you if you are gambling for over two years and you have tasted  winning big amount of money I don't think this will work, the temptation to win those big amounts you've won in the past is very hard to suppress, you will need medical attention for this.

Lucky are those people who experience winning big money in long term gambling, but I believe most of us still hasn't experience a big win.
Like in my case, I'm already gambling for years but AFAIR, I still have no won an amount that I will be satisfied to stop gambling for awhile and just enjoy it. Most of the wins are just small amount since my betting range is also small, and the longer I play I know I'm losing money but still not giving up.
Of course, you are right, because most of the gamblers either have fun or make little money because of their bets.  If someone gets a huge win, then this is undoubtedly Lucky man who hit the jackpot and such cases are not massive.  Yes, and income such a cash prize can not be called.

A common trend I see here in Gambling Discussion are people making threads complaining how they lost money, etc while playing. I bet they were not complaining while they were winning.

There's only on way to prevent gambling going out of hand and it also applies to other areas of life... Create a budget AND stick to it.

Set a monthly limit, a fund for everything entertainment-related. Use that up within a month or not, it gets topped up monthly and that's the only money you can use for gambling.

it's the nature of people - they always complain for losses but never complain while they are winning. but all you need is just to stop at right time.
Another point is that even if people win in gambling, that win is temporary as they invest all the amount again and lose it in the next game. People should know when to play and how to get and withdraw profits. If you do not withdraw your profits and keep on playing, eventually you lose all your money including the profits also.

Reason why gambling sites that have a lot of funds always win and never lose because players always play there winning even not on the same day that result for them to lose. Only disciplined player can win against a casino.

I would say that even the disciplined player will lose in the long run and that is why we see that gambling casino are never at loss. Those people who win some amount in gambling, lose the profit and the seed money on their next games and this way gambling sites never lose.
Gambling websites never experience loss, and few websites have closed their services facing some legal issues. Every gambler could've experienced this form of loss while spending on casinos.

When it comes to secure way of gambling, online gambling with cryptocurrency is the best as it gives the anonymity. In a recent thread came to know about a robber following a gambler coming out of casino getting robbed with the entire winning. This can be overcome by the online gambling and the access we get is very easy than going to a casino.

I think most gamblers forget the most basic thing when in a difficult situation.
It is to have self-control always no matter what your rules to set when you are gambling.
Be responsible with your own action and do reflect it always before and after.
There are really good things that are just best to say than done because when you are already in the real situation and you are losing already, you cannot just stop and walk away. Of course you will try to chase your losses and only end up losing even more. That's the sad fact about gamblers today.

Some people cannot find relief if they are lost in gambling games and they will try over and over until they can get their money's back. Perhaps, at that moment, they forgot that in the gambling games, it is hard to recover the losses, but they still push themselves to continue playing gambling.

Self-control will be needed in those situations because we don't know how long we can play and not to lose the money. But for the truth, we will be going to lose more money if we cannot prevent ourselves to stop and quit gambling.

if you are a newbie going in an online casino you might fall into the habit of running after profit, you should first watch it with your friends who are a responsible gambler, so you will learn how to handle the game, how to bet stop when winning or losing, this is important it will set your habit.

Of course you will try to chase your losses and only end up losing even more. That's the sad fact about gamblers today.

Looking from your statements, this is what I conclude

- If you are in a loss, you cannot quit with loss
- You need to invest more and play more in order to recover your loss and you will lose more.

So what do gamblers do then ? If they are in loss and quit, they will lose the money. If they do try again, they still lose more money.  Huh
that's where the gambler must be able to decide when to stop and return to play, preferably every gambler he must be able to control emotions while playing, when he wins he has to make the right strategy to bet again by placing a price lower than the win, or can stop playing for a while so there is no greedy attitude and hope to win a bigger bet that can result in a losing streak

That is a safe strategy so far with good emotional control, but in reality some gamblers are not easy to carry out this strategy, because when they are betting the mindset of the gambler has been affected by greed and self-control that cannot be controlled. But that is only a few and not all gamblers have the same attitude, so the important thing to gamble safely is to always maintain our mindset so that we can make the decision to stop and continue.
Past experiences would be the best teacher and once a certain gambler do already aware on such thing or consequences

he does know on how to avoid it on next session on playing gambling,being emotional cant really be easily controlled because each person is different on handling
themselves on such situations.

There are some people that are so addicted to gambling online to the extent that they don't even know when to stop. Even when they are losing all their money they are still playing and losing more money. It is fun to play these games but being addicted to them is very bad and can lead you to do things that are really bad. It's good to have a set time and don't exceed it, don't spend much of your time in gambling every day, just do it for fun and not as a means of survival, it is a game and should played at your free time.
