You are right that someone who gets a big win can become a chronic gambler who will try to chase other wins, even using the winnings he has already earned. Getting a big win is very rare, and we should be able to appreciate what we have so that we won't try to chase an even bigger win. That will only result in losses that may be even bigger than before, and can use up all the money we have, even the winnings we have earned. We must always be careful when gambling, not gamble excessively, and always exercise self-control so that we don't have the desire to chase bigger wins.

Everybody has to learn how to set gambling limit or they'll lose when they gamble, gambling can be addicted which is why setting limit is necessary. Gambling on a budget helps you to avoid some things that'll make your gambling habit unhealthy. Gambling without a budget can make you to over gamble and when you gamble too much, you risk been addicted which isn't a healthy thing. All gamblers should be careful how they gamble or they'll regret it.

You can set a limit for yourself in many ways, you can put a limit on the time you're spending gambling, you can also put a limit on the amount of capital you use for gambling or the amount you wager per game and when that time elapsed or the money finished, you have to stop playing. Staying discipline when gambling is the best treatment you have to give yourself to avoid getting addicted that'll makes you to lose money regularly when you gamble.

Doesn't gambling include games and betting?
Caution usually doesn't need to be started, but caution has been instilled in everyone since childhood.
But they forget that when they mature and are in gambling or are gamblers, they know there is risk they know there is defeat that awaits, but they cannot apply caution that caution.
And from what you said, I interested in of play moderately, because caution in gambling is not only about excessive finances but also about attitudes and decisions in each game or betting session.
Usually the biggest mistake gambler makes is being careless or negligent because of the opportunities and also the odds that look so attractive to be able to win with these opportunities.
Gamblers must be careful in making each choice because what they choose will be what they will experience or feel.

If it is only to minimize losses, control emotions and also avoid gambling addiction, then limits are priority that must be set from the start of gambling, although they are not the only factor in the occurrence of these things.
But at least gambler with financial constraints can experience the pleasure of gambling and the satisfaction of gambling without making many sacrifices related to their finances.
Even though it is difficult, if it is based on responsible intentions and attitudes, everything can still be realized and they will be able to do it as time goes by.

OP, no matter how careful one will be, at some point they will fall the victim of gambling. Gambling shouldn't only be played with care but with some rules that will guide the gambler. In the absence of these rules, one will likely not be able to cope with gambling for a long period of time.
It is big winnings that is one of the things that lure people to become chronic gamblers. I have argued this with someone and you can understand with me that anyone that keeps losing in gambling will not keep gambling but it is the taste of huge win or the expectation of it that makes people to keep gambling and possibly raising their capital.

Not some people but most people, it is difficult to set limits because we are humans and humans by nature are very insatiable and they keep expecting more even when they are not doing better. It needs high level of discipline to be able to be discipline themselves in something that promises to return big money. It is not everyone that has the tendency to do this and that is the reason.

The important thing is that we can gamble carefully because by being careful, we will try to reduce the number of losses by limiting the use of money for gambling. We will also not be interested in recovering from loss or pursuing a win because we know that it is difficult to obtain. Instead of experiencing difficulties and causing our emotions to escalate, we should limit our gambling, and there is no harm in being a responsible gambler. This is to prevent us from experiencing more serious problems where we can experience gambling addiction, which has been experienced by many gamblers before.

Basically there is no other way that we can do as a preventive measure other than some boundaries and good self-control, don't stop there because you have to be really firm in implementing it because not infrequently it can also be just empty talk, one of the the cause is when you are unconsciously carried away by a situation that seems fun and tempting when in reality it is nothing more than a temptation so that you have no choice to stop and rest.

In my opinion, the point of the problem is that your hopes are too big for good enough results, even though there is no guarantee or certainty that you will succeed in getting them. Moreover, the final results always depend on your luck, so you have to be really realistic in considering the details before you end up regretting it. , just that.

In short, we need to set limits. This is the only way we can minimize losses and control our emotions so we are not going deeper into addiction. For some people setting limits is not that easy because of greed.

Yes, not just gambling. It should be in every game we play we have to play it with care or maybe I should say play with more care with gambling. We should be responsible when we start to gamble. Just like the catalog of liquor company "drink moderately"  in gambling "play moderately", we don't have to risk all of our saving in gambling, play for the sake of fun and entertainment. Having extra care in gambling makes you a responsible gambler, you know your boundary and limitations. For all the gamblers around here, be responsible and have self control.

Gambling doesn't always go as expected so it's foolish to expect that. Every gambler expects that he will make enough profit from gambling and have very few losses in his gambling life but in reality something different happens. A gambler actually loses more than he gains. There are several types of gambling and according to the type the gambler plays the way he likes to gamble. I was posting my betting stats this year on a topic where my stats were that I won more than I lost and many people replied to my comments asking how I won more than I lost or what strategy I used. From their questions, I understood that those who asked me such questions have lost more than their gains in gambling. Where the loss is high, it is natural that things will not happen as expected.

Yes, it's true that this happens very often to all gamblers and almost all gamblers make the same mistakes. Sometimes when we win, it makes us feel happy which makes us forget ourselves to stop gambling. On average, most of us prefer to continue gambling until the end. the result of the victory we get is losing again and in the end we realize that we are trapped by the happy feeling of that victory.

It's not easy to control that unless we limit our budget and time from the start so that it becomes a limit for us when to gamble and when to stop gambling. The point is to consistently set rules for ourselves so that we can follow the limits that have been set for us. control ourselves to become wiser gamblers by stopping gambling when we win. 

I think when gambling we should limit our expectations knowing no know can predict rightly, people who can't control their urge this is not about an addict or not, not all gamblers can control their urge, I see this as a result of high expectation from the game that's why people exceed their budget and wanting to bet for more.
There's nothing bad in setting a goal or making budget but 95% of gamblers can't stick to their budget instead after making a budget you find yourself exceeding the budget and it's better not to make a budget when you can't stick to the budget.

Let's keep in our mind that when it comes to gambling, the bigger bet comes to bigger risk, and you're right, It always better to refrain on placing bet once you've reached your target winning amount because having a self discipline in following your own limitations will leads you to success rather than failing. Once you keep pushing after winning, you can lose the money and that's one of the reason why majority of gamblers experiencing loses than winning because chances are there but because of their greed, the winning money can lose swiftly.

Keep pushing for more luck brings you to a bigger risk, always better to stop when you already reached your set target, meaning to say that both the amount you allocate to lose or the amount that you are aiming to earn, though in that matter lots of gamblers have a different take on that side, they are drive by that winning emotion that they can continue that same streak and win more,.

In reality, they will lose it back if they are not wise enough to stop and take that profit away from the house.

True!!! If possible don't set a goal because it will make you push more to play in gambling and you will not be satisfied until you reach it even if you say that you still have self control on limit with goal you will still have a lingering feeling wanting to reach the goal, so if possible don't set a goal or amount, or if you can't help to set a goal then don't always hope that you can earn it because gambling is too unpredictable so expect downsides, if possible just treat the set goal as your stop point if for example you've gain and being lucky then if you reach that goal then its time to keep safe the capital, but if you feel and ses that you are not that luck in that day then better analyze while playing if you will still continue playing until your goal or better to stop playing to minimize the loss, its about how will you think and how reasonable your thinking is while you are playing.

If someone think that gambling can provide pleasure, gambler tend to think about continuing their activities so that they don't realize that they are already addicted. Indeed, sometimes people always abuse these thoughts, giving rise to misunderstanding between limiting pleasure and gambling. Indeed, gambling can give us entertainment if we can enjoy it properly. This goal is however we also have to realize that it should not be done continuously because it will cause significant financial losses. Gambling should be done occasionally over a period of a few week or a few days, not as often as possible or every day so that it will not cause addiction.

Gambling doesn't always give us profits, gambling gives us a little reward, it's just a trap so that we continue to gamble, causing addiction, gamblers feel happy if we do this activity because they continue to make a profits from the user and indeed we have to realize that gambling is actually just fools its users so we have to think intelligently to use gambling carefully and don't get too involved in the fun so it doesn't have a bad impact on ourselves.

I think it is for the reason that whenever you are already gambling, sometimes your mind doesn't have the time to think about calculations and analysis due to some games having timers to pressure gamblers, plus once you are gambling sometimes emotions start to kick in as they would affect every decision you make in gambling when you starting to lose or win. That is why you would need to practice to maintain and stay calm in gambling cause once you start to lose your cool, you will panic bet. I totally agree that analysis is a must, cause if you rely on luck and just impulsively bet, then you would have a low chance of winning than if you bet that you really analyze the game.

Most gamblers who just bet hastily are most likely don't give time to analysis, they gamble base on speculations from people or they are very much reliant on luck so they just do random picks and hope they win at the end of the day but it turns out a style that cause more losses than win.

Allocating good time to analysis before placing abet give you an edge and increase your chances of winning but then it doesn't guarantee wins but then it reduces your chances of losing so it will be better you place informed bets and know your odds and chances of winning than been so reliant and dependent on luck which happens once in a while and causes you to loose more than you win probably because you depended solely on luck.

Never mix up your gambling budget with your other budget. Having a strict budget and creating a good strategy always helps if you are putting more money into gambling than intended. We often lose all our budget while gambling and put in more money later on. This is not a good thing.
Create a monthly or weekly budget on how much you want to spend on gambling and then using your strategy, figure out how many bets you can place with what amount. Then do the calculation for the whole week or month. Never go over your budget.

If you can follow your own strategy like this, you will never need more money to gamble. You will stay in your budget and you can actually enjoy gambling.

It's all about setting some certain rules for yourself and let it mastered you.

* I don't gamble if I don't have the money, gambling isn't a must for me everyday, and in fact most times I gamble like twice in a whole week.

* I prefer to turn my $1 in gambling into $10 it's still a big win for me, I consider it a free money, I don't work for it anyway, it's gambling, but what if I lose the money? Well it's just a dollar, how bad could this get? I will still be smiling.

* Winning is automatically a stop ⛔ sign for me, no matter how small my win is I am quitting for that day, and my comeback won't mean that I will increase the amount for gambling just because I won some money days ago, when it happens I leave.

* I have use $10 to make $230 before and I don't let it get into my head, I still took me four days off to come back and gamble again, with the same old amount I am used to.

Gambling is capable of making you regret you ever been a gambler, it's left for you to control your greed and expect your best results from investments instead of gambling, it could happen in gambling too but it can also messed you up for life, you don't want to rely on gambling to have a better life.

You are clearly pointing at gambling budgets and the responsible gambling.
Of course it is an advice wise for a gambler to check his financial status (net worth) and have a figure and not even a tolerable figure (amount) of how much he could find to his gambling account and also his time to spend in the gambling table so as not to exceed its limited schedules and not even on a cause of appreciation or depression would he be overwhelmed by going against his schedules (budgets).

One must learn how to walk away from the gambling field either at the point of lost or winning as long the gambling limit is reminded else you must not exhaust your budget instead exceeding your limitations.

Be disciplined to control your emotions and maintain a reputable gambling personality.
