I think its hard to control if you likes playing gambling because its can gave you a feeling of enjoyment or excitement, but you can still control it by the help of your self, just think if what is your number one goal in your life and avoid to be too much addicted on gambling because it can cause to lose your money.
Stop thinking it's hard to control because if you do, that would make you tempted easily to gamble and bet beyond your limit.

People gamble because they love what they are doing, but it's necessary to be realistic all the time and that should make you see the risk more than the reward you will get on betting, that way, you'll be able to control yourself and you will not lead to getting addicted in gambling.

Be wise all the time as gambling could lead a person homeless, I've read a lot story about this, and this is a risky way to have fun, at least financially.

I have absolutely no problem saying no to gambling. Even if I was at a casino with someone, I wouldn't gamble more than $20 maximum. If I win, I will keep the winnings, and if I lose, I will simply walk away.

You said you have no problem saying no to gambling but you also said that you dont bet over 20 usd  , lol .  so meaning to say you still cant resist playing gambling at all but i salute you because your a kind of a responsible gambler that know his limits on when to stop . 20usd is the only amount that you can afford to loose  but to some they can afford bigger amounts than this but that still okay as long as they wont get hook in the game

the loss is an even bigger impetus. Nobody wants to lose you see, so it hits their ego and they go in for the next all-in bets

I recognise that, sounds alot like sunk cost fallacy.   Where a person has lost money previously they believe they are now owed better luck on the next bet and so on, most peoples strategy including my own quite often is not that organised.
I would only call for one thing to stop the cycle of a loss and that is to start with a hard line of possible money to gamble.  If you only have a set pocket of coins to put in the machines then you are fine, just the spending money and you get to play for a while or a set time and then walk away either a winner or having spent the coins you brought to the table.

If people have good money discipline then it can correct alot of other mistakes elsewhere.    To error on both counts is where it gets negative, even worse never borrow to gamble or imo dont use borrowed cash with crypto it mixes badly like water and oil

For me it was not a big roblem to resist since I am not that addicted in Gambling well it was for the people who can't live without gambling it's they they are nothing without it. I think the possibilities to resist will no longer exists in their mind. If some people who are addicted in Gambling have the strength to do it then I think he/she wants a new life.

The best way to resist to make to many bets is to keep your balance low, the time it takes to deposit more fonds are a good cool down period.  I personally like to bet, but I only bet with money that I can afford to lose. And I have set daily and monthly loss limited, and I stop if get to those numbers.

I have been in gambling for more than many years and I was addicted to it at the beginning but right now I am in full control about it. I can stay years without playing a single bet and you don't have to even gamble when you understand that it's just a stupid came and you do not have to play it as you are going to make money from it.there are a lot of alternatives you can use maybe they will not give you money as fast as gambling but you can have as much as possible from other sources.

I'm not sure if I can call it an addiction but sometimes I feel like I need to gamble no matter
and it consume my time consider if I will gamble or not I will admit that sometimes I wasn't able
to resist the urge to gamble but most of the time I am able to suppressed these urges just by think
about other things that I need to do. in other words I keep myself occupied most of the times in order
to suppressed it. I think today I am not that I not that addicted to gambling like I once were since the
time I lost interest on it because of someone I cared so much.

Yes, there are times when it changes because usually they will not be able to resist when they are still very enthusiastic about gambling, but over time we will slowly have the ability to resist gambling for various reasons. For now we fully control that desire and will only gamble when we feel something good.

Yes, i have been able to control my emotions when it come to gambling without loosing my hard earned money. Resistance is a major key to gambling, this element or atom keep a gambler for safer gambling. I learned to resist temptation of greediness when i enter into the circle of gambler or in the art of gambling. I control my emotions to minimize my looses.
Most of all just know to control yourself when it comes to gambling, because if you follow what you think, then you will lose or you will become addicted. Actually gambling its not bad, as long as you gamble only a right. Dont too much serious to gamble just have for pastimes only, because once you already addicted you dont control it anymore.

Have you been able to resist the addiction and not let gambling consume you?
Before it was hard for me but as long as you're getting dry with your life and you notice the negative effects and changes that happens to your life because of it, I was able to resist it.

It is really hard most especially to those who are really addicted to gambling, good thing to those who were able to stop before its too late because some would really push like more than their limits to the point that they're left with nothing and they only realize it after when its already to late. For a gambler to have better self control they need a lot of time and effort not to let their emotions to consume them.

  Exactly, we have to control our emotions by persuading the possible consequence. Perhaps, gamble cost so mucglh time to peruse what should be the strategy in order to succeed. I was about to resist, but realizing how trade has became a source of income even in difficulties.

Yes it will be difficult to resist the desire to gamble if we are addicted or we cannot forget the loss we faced before. The desire to regain what has been lost could eliminate everything.

Have you been able to control the urge to place that bet, spin that wheel or roll
that dice? For you to be able to go a length of time away from the adrenaline.

Would be interested to hear how people can control this.



If you are going to play the first time, be sure to bring along a friend or a relative that does not have interest in gambling, the guy that you bring along will be the one to stop you every time you make additional bet after you've lost the allocated funds, this is good so you will not lose control when gambling with your own money.
Good idea if you will do this, chances of being engaged too much will be lessen, the person who's with you will not encourage to keep playing, it will be a big help in resisting in playing any types of gambling.

Set a gambling budget per month, and never add more money or crypto.
Very simple rule, and very important. play responsible and you will also be much more happy when you are lucky and win

I think every gambler, guy who likes to gamble often, have some crazy days. Days when everything goes in direction you didnt plan to go, its gambling. Sometimes you dictate tempo, sometimes you follow and every day is different in some way. I`m resisting most of the time, but I have days when I slip and I do something I didnt plan to do, and that I would skipping any other day. You cant control everything, deal with it and move on.

Resisting is difficult but it develops with practice.
Whatever be the sum of money be, online, it just seems to be the number and people start caring less until they have cleared off their balances.
Controlling measures could be not depositing all of your coins at once, dividing your gambling budget an non gambling coins and most importantly thinking about being reasonable and responsible to the people you love.
