In gambling and especially in casino gambling it's very important that you control yourself and set a limit for how much you're willing to lose. In sports betting, you will never make 100 bets in less than 10 minutes, but you can easily do hundreds of bets if you use auto betting in a few minutes on casino gambling, this make casino betting more fun and intense and I really like this kind of betting but my bets are so low that I don't worry about any loss.

I also follow these rules, if I am in a gambling site and I want to gamble with money. my target is getting a small amount of money so, I can cover the transaction charges so I never think about getting huge wins or making good profits. All my bets are controlled and planned instead of blowing it all at once I break it down to possible outcomes and so I can cover my fees whenever I want. I never think to gamble as my earning source.

You can gamble securely online but safely only to some websites which offer you the option to place betting limits and bankroll limits in order to help you not become addicted.I don't know which crypto casino offers this option but from the Fiat ones bet365 is one casino tha offers this to their users.
That’s true though but for me, irrespective of the site I gamble on, I am totally sure of never getting addicted in gambling, this is because I have successfully grown my discipline level to almost the highest peak

Gambling game is quite addictive, no matter the site, anyone can be addictive, and it only takes those whose minds has already been made up to play with wisdom to overcome this addiction that can really eat deep into one. This is the reason why it is good to enter with the right mentality, be determined never to get addicted and like you said, set limit, setting limit helps actually.
I admire your personality. Having nurtured yourself to overcome gambling addiction is a great work and I really commend you. The game is truly addictive; it’s not easy to overcome the urge to stay on it for so long.

I am new to gambling and I try as much as I can to stay far from been addicted. There are times I say no to play and I see myself playing again, I know that it is possible to overcome the urge. What I have learnt from you now is to set my limit before playing and once I see that I have passed the limit, I will just close my game for the day. And I will also see the game as a game of entertainment, at least that way I will know that whatever that is for fun is not meant for one to stay on it all day.

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.

  • Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money  Smiley

I don't do this at all.

It is true that we are gambling for fun but if you just want to have fun and don't earn money at all, you can play online games, if you want to spend your money go out and travel with your friends, eat on restaurants, buy something that will make you happy. I mean, why would you gamble if you don't want to earn money for fun? The fun in gambling is earning money, people will say, but we avoid earning money so we will not be addicted to it. But what is the point of you going there? Just to have fun? If you are having fun, that means you are winning and what are you getting from that wins? Money, right? Get it?

I guess he does not understand the meaning of gambling for fun, or we might have different interpretation on it.
For me, I gamble for fun, meaning I'm not so serious with gambling, I can easily accept if I loss but our main goal in gambling is to win because its where the fun is. Some people can give up easily and not making ways to win, then they are surely wasting money for that, its not gambling anymore.

We gamble to win, that's the rule here.

I have been doing this for years. By making a special budget for gambling, from that moment I did not feel the slightest loss even though I lost in gambling because the budget was indeed provided and prepared to be lost. Then, when I lost the gamble I did not regret it because the lost money did not interfere with other economies.
People used to stick to limits, and beyond some point when they experience good winning automatically their mind move towards a bigger betting. This is where the control must be there, and when one can limit himself even on winning streak will be successful and won't experience massive loss. When it comes to the secure way of gambling it is good to prefer top casinos and sportsbooks as there are people who have won and waiting for days for withdrawal. Even after contacting support team no response.

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.
It is greediness that makes many gamblers to actually lose money.  There is always a time to quit and most times that is when the sweetness of making money do push many of us to start over gamble for profits.  Whenever you are over gambling you should be rest assured that you are already on the part of losing heavily.
Not for me now, personally my experience help me a lot not to loss more money, I loss but a small amount of money and I can easily forget it.
What experience told us for most gamblers, is that we learn the ability to minimize our loses, and that's better than expecting to win when we don't have the capacity.
Experience is truly a great teacher. It’s unfortunate that many would never learn. I didn’t even need experience to understand that in gambling, it is good to play with what can easily be forgotten or any amount that I can easily afford to loose.

It was so easy for me to always gamble what I can easily afford to loose because I saw gambling as a game of entertainment. I knew I didn’t have to commit an amount that was too much for me just because I needed fun, and I quit the game as soon as I exceed my limit even though I do not make any profit, I will just be glad I had fun and that is all that matters more to me.

Yes, that is right. The greediness will come to the gamblers with or without they realize.
But for gamblers who can stop the games at any times, then I don't think that he should worry about being greediness because he always could control himself in gambling.
We need to know when to quit so we could control the greed in ourselves to not making us lose more money.

You can only gamble sensibly if you have total control over your self. Gambling is fan and addictive. If you do not have the discipline it can drag you down.
For me, I gamble within my limits. I limit not only the amount I can use for bets but also the time I can spend on gambling. I do not spend too much time on it because, for me, it is only a pass time habit. I do it only once a week, not longer than an hour.
if we are able to manage time for gambling, we can avoid being addicted to gambling. most people certainly expect profits in gambling but as much as possible we should not be too greedy to win the game and should be able to only spend a little money in play but can target the victory we expect

Yes. There will be no addiction that will happen if we only gamble occasionally and just playing for fun. But if we let our greediness controls our emotions, for sure it will only cause life's destruction. So never gamble and expect profits all the time. You might be frustrated if it turns out the other way around.

That is the reason we should be responsible.

Gambling is a risky choice of entertainment if you want to just have fun. I do have fun gambling but I do know what am I doing and what should I not do in order to keep myself from getting addicted to it. Also, I have other things to keep myself entertained like watching TV series and movie, playing online games but that usually takes more time than enough.

If all gamblers will have this same views as yours mate?for sure there will never be a gambling addict and all of us may have enjoyable gambling habits and not just tl profit

We as former addict have learned alot from our own mistakes and lucky that we survived the call of being failure in life.

Let us hope many of ua will have this same vision that gambling is really for fun and not for living

Gambling held a negative image in front of a lot of people in the world. May it be in real life or crypto casino. It may or may not give you a positive feedback that you are expecting. All thing are good when done moderately and with caution. In gambling, you should always know your limit or when to stop when you already run out of ammo. You should also plan ahead before immersing yourself into it. Gambling is fun not until it consumes you as a whole. You should gamble just for the sake of thrill and fun and not for the sake of winning a lot and taking more than you could really take. You don't want to choke in greediness in the middle of the game right? I, myself, play in a crypto casino. It is fun because I can play inside our house without undergoing the hassle of going out of the house. I can also use bitcoin to my liking. I got bonuses back when I was a newbie up until now. I also got to read some blogs about cryptocurrencies and the likes. I enjoyed playing it up until now because I play moderately and fortunately knows my limit. In playing, you don't have to bet it all as long as you're enjoying to your heart's content.
Honestly we can’t blame those who have a negative perspective of gambling. Gambling has damaged the lives of so many that those who know nothing about the game would just assume that it is destructive. Years before I started gambling, I heard a lot about how terrible the game can be, how it has scattered so many homes and all that.

I am glad I took my time to learn a lot before I started gambling, especially on this forum. I learnt how to play moderately, never to gamble what I cannot afford to lose and reducing the hours I spend on casino games, all this helped me to become a better player and I am confident that I cannot be a victim of addiction.

As always the results will still the same, losing chances is far higher than the winning one, there's no other results but too much gambling will only
lead you to financial destruction, you have to learned to control everything.

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.  
You have a point, it is all easy for us to say but hard to be done but the things we differ is that I can manage to control it my emotions. Ever since I entered in this community I've already made up my mind that I won't use this to earn profit due to the fact that we only have a low chance of winning. The most important thing is discipline if you don't have it then probably you took out by your addiction. Gambling is not bad at all but what makes it's bad is how you used it. I've been in this community for a long time, visit every casino sites like this one but I never lose my cool since it is better if we would enjoy it and have no presence of addiction.
