Online gambling has a different risk which in my opinion will be easier to lose, because whatever you do online will happen with just one click. It is still dangerous if you are not careful and unfocused when placing your money on every bet you make.
You can't say that unfocused and not careful is just dangerous only in online gambling since it will happen too in real life and not just in online gambling. Both have their own pros and cons it is just for the user to choose which is better that will suit them. If you like to gamble anonymously you can choose to gamble online but if you like to gamble with your friends, you can go to any casinos near you.

I agree but you are also missing the money limit. Time and money limits are both important it's truth.
I used to play games before way too much and it can be a really nice distraction but we have to remember to work and study(if we want) at the same time so we actually advance and don't stay the same because time passes by really quick.
It's interesting how you look back and it's like, wow 5-10 years already passed by?

Before now I was always gambling for fun and it was really interesting. I never had intention to make money but I loved to win, I enjoyed the game that way until my eyes got opened to the money making side of gambling.
A friend told me I could also make money and have fun at the same time, and then I was taught on setting limits to playing.
Hence, what I usually do was to set limits, and when I exceed I just walk out of the game for another day.
For now I think this is a great method to play, am still having fun and not making much loses, and even when I lose, I don’t see it as a big deal. What matters is the excitement I get from the game.
Sounds super intelligent, but setting limits will still not stop you from making loses. The good thing about yours is that you were already enjoying the game as fun and that means, you didn’t see so much big deal in making loses and now that you are setting limit, there would be times to win, that makes it advantageous to you.

I personally don’t play with big money or any money that I cannot afford to lose, and I try as much as I can to set my limit. I think this method has been serving me right in controlling loses, which I also implore people to try and have self control.

It is a good idea, so before getting in gambling I think one should make his limit and he should only invest the money which can make him for sure but in case if he lose he will not be worry at all, in gambling actually we need proper time and our experience that we use to gamble, if we will play with full of our potential then I am sure there will no chance to lose but only profit.

I strongly agree on this, in gambling, you must have self-moderated and that is by your self. You must control it to avoid facing addiction someday. However, all of these are depends on how you can manage your self. I like the OP statement number 1, gambling is intended for me in just for fun not for chasing money and hoping that it would be a source of income. Quote

Could you be more specific on the results of practicing gambling with friends? I have been thinking it would only create more bad to our gambling activity. For me, I play with only my expandable income. The one I set aside for entertainments. If I am experiencing consecutive loses then I will walk away. This helps me to avoid rage betting.
This is what i'm also doing.I just set an amount for gambling and if i lose them totally,then i just go home and relax.Same with times that i win a decent amount of profit,i also went home immediately because for sure if i gamble again,it will just go back to the casino's owner as expected.Some people are having problems relaxing though when they see their money end up in losses. Rage betting is a reaction to being frustrated with the results of your gambling decision. That's the problem with gambling, take it seriously and all your reason and senses goes out the window.

In my opinion I think gambling with friends can be more fun and entertaining and it can help a player control a player from getting addicted since friends always get each other’s back.It reminds me of onetime I went gambling with my friends and it was such an interesting game, I kept on increasing and double betting uncontrollably until a friend of mine quickly called my attention out. He saved me that day from not spending all the money I had and that would have really been painful because I lost.

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,
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
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.
- Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money
- Setting myself a gambling goal
- I Bet small (don't blow all your money at once)
- I practice gambling with friends
- Set time limits and walk away

I set my own rules and limitations when gambling.
*I always remind my self not to be greedy and never be careless, especially when I am winning.
*I keep my self aware whenever I feel I am being greedy, when I notice signs that I am being greedy, I pass a bet and smoke for a while to cool down
.*Never to chase my losses, this sometimes leads me to even more losses.
*Know your limitations, and when to quit. I know that whenever I am lucky it doesn't last for a whole day. So, just a few sequence of losses, I quit and take away what I can.
I have a lot more, I hope this can help other gamblers in setting their own rule and to lessen greed when gambling.

The part where "I practice gambling with friends" is the one that I don't follow, the rest I follow like my house rules. If I play with my friends, then I already blow my security as I don't let other people know that I gamble. this is the reason why I chose online gambling than traditional gambling, so that others will not judge you and criticize you on your way of spending your time and money. - Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money

Gambling has more side effect when an individual deviate from the true meaning of gambling. And the true meaning of gambling is; gambling securely and sensibly to avoid the spirit of depression. Taken gambling as entertainment, come the winnings as you enjoy yourself as individual. Gambling with this tips will save a gambler from embarrassment from friends and family members.
I would say that the easiest way to keep tabs and control on gambling is kick starting the game with the right motive which was what the op has mentioned as number one. See gambling as a game of fun and not a source of income. I think this first idea help make setting limits and staying by it so easy.
Gambling is fun, once you win, celebrate it and avoid the mistake of playing again to win more and once a loss is made, let go and don’t have the mind of a comeback to recover, this is what causes people to become addicted gamblers. And its necessary to have self control because the game can be so interesting and at the same time addictive, so it takes self-control to set rules and abide by the rules.

The OP is right about the things you need to keep yourself be reminded of.
But you will just realize these things on your own if at some point in your life, you lost significantly in gambling.
And that would be a good lesson for you to stop chasing big things you want in gambling.
And just stick to the basics, use gambling for your entertainment purposes only and not a money-making machine.

At least you are sure that whatever you won for the day is safe and whatever that is lost is gone and you will at least not loose any further. But by thinking of playing further, you are not even guaranteed to win again. I am not greedy, I set my limit for each game, although it can be tempting to have a replay when there is winning but that is where self control and discipline now comes to play. It is very important to have self control and it is self control that will help to say No when it looks like Yes is needed. Self discipline is very important for those who set limit in gambling. Those who do not have self control will definitely disobey because of the urge to always replay.
In my opinion to the best way I keep tabs and ensure I do not end up an addicted gambler because I understand the addictive side of the game is to enter with a positive mindset, which I do by following the first rule of playing the game for entertainment. It makes me see whatever cash I need to put into the game as a bill for my gate pass to play, so once its expired I am out for the day. No hard feelings and no intention to replay.
Also on my lucky days, I simply smile, keep my money and I would still quit when necessary and see take whatever I got as benefit. I try to overrule the thought of playing again for more wins after a win is made or going to recover money when I lose, that is not the mindset of one playing for entertainment.
