It’s pretty simple for me, I only gamble a couple of times a week & obviously with money I can afford to lose.
I understand it’s difficult for people with addictive personalities but the key really is to set a budget for what you can afford to gamble with a week.

You have already mentioned that there are people with addictive personalities so we cant simply say this to them,though its more enough to advice them not to try gambling to keep the privacy of their lives in gambling exploration

Only few people becomes a gambling addict but its more alarming than people whos into other vices that dont really demands lots of money like gambling addicted

I think those people who are considered addicts in gambling might be addicted in some other vices too like cigarretes smoking or being a drunkard.Because i believe if you have a proper way of thinking,you might not let yourself be addicted to such vices because you know in the end you will only ruin yourself.I know if you are determined not to be one of them,then you should avoid it in the first place.Have self-discipline and learn not to be greedy of course.

Have you been able to resist the addiction and not let gambling consume you?

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.

As far as I have experienced and learned from this community, we cannot resist against gambling addiction but we may protect ourselves by preventing it. One simple and effective way of safeguarding ourselves must be, not gambling for long hours and being to gambling more frequently. Only when we are able to resist ourselves against gambling by not frequenting to it, we may get chances to stay without getting addicted.

When you gamble not regularly and not giving big importance to it, you may control yourself against gambling and when you are within your control then addiction will not gain power against you. It means if we lose ourselves into gambling then gambling addiction will take control of our mind and consciousness which means it will induce us to keep on gambling all the times regardless of how much we are losing nor what are our basic responsibilities.

Most gamblers are not noticing these dangers of gambling but coming aware of these by their own experiences. Gambling addiction is preventable if you are well aware of its dangers.

It will be too hard from beginning, but you loss and you don't have enough fund then it will be easy ( just joke). Personally for me, I am not addicted and there is no question for resist. Whoever addicted on gambling it will hard for him but not impossible. It's possible but need good intentions. If someone want resist addiction then he should busy by something else. Ofcourse you need strong commitment by yourself. You have to force by yourself to leave addiction. No one can help you expect motivation.

I'm not saying that I'm aint addicted to gambling but there are really times that you will feel the urge on being greedy.The important thing on someones mind when we do
gamble is that always set a limit on all of your funds.If you lose it all then never chase it back because this would either result into deeper problem if you are unlucky.
Resisting do matter on your level of self discipline.

Resisting becomes possible by practicing from the early days while we started gambling but unfortunately most of the people don't care about the limits just keep doing and will get trapped at the end.Being self disciplined while gambling will make lot of advantages to us like getting out at the early time and start to walk away while starts to lose bets.

For me, crypto trading has totally replaced gambling. I get the same adrenaline rush, but I win more than 90% of the time.

Not totally because people will never be getting tired of patronizing easy and fast ways of making money despite the possible consequences. There will always people who prefer that. I know that trading is also a form of gamble somehow and can be an alternative to it but the problem is that the fun isn't there unlike when you are playing games so you can't fully enjoy it. Nonetheless, trading is more strategic thus you can lessen your mistakes.

Trading is better than gambling in terms of our chance to be profitable because there is no house edge in trading.
Gambling on the other hand is also good but it should only be for entertainment purpose only, you can never get rich in gambling when most of the time you loss money, your only chance is when you are extremely lucky.

When I start I cannot stop and a lot of times I get more if my funds in a gambling site got broke.
But when I dont do it then I wont even have the urge to go for it.
It takes weeks before I will try to start again. I could say I could control it now than before.
The feeling of regret with my lost coins are the reason to why I stop. I am a deep hodler of bitcoin and whenever the value of it increases, I think of the coins that I gambled.

I guess your point is that all hobbies are healthy including gambling but all in moderation. Gambling once in a while for fun is good , with this you can avoid getting addict and you can still resist with the temptation of betting again. Strong will power and self control is the key.

You know, with out this self control, you can still stop your gambling addiction. Will, it is the only thing you should trust. I am also addicted to gambling in the past and I know that it is really hard to get through addiction. In fact it took me years to get through that and of course, it is possible with the help of my loved ones. It is hard at first but when you can already see the reason why you are stopping, it is getting easier and easier. Don't get me wrong though, I am still gambling, that is just a proof that it is so hard to stop but I can keep myself from losing a lot unlike in the past. I gamble but now, I can control myself.

Yeah truly correct set money ready to afford to lose, however we all should knows in any kind of games harder to quite because they want to grow again and they want to get a victory in that time.
But if feel not a day lucky need to accept to stop playing to avoid huge of loses and specially to avoid become addictive. Selfcontrol is the most important thing to do that's is my secret strategy in gambling.

I honestly not a gambling addict so the way i resist is to not being an addict in the first place. Once youve thrown away yourself on the pit , getting out is almost impossible. Its easy to say but once and addict is invited, he will never resist it. Always have a control in you now before it left you.

Well that's a very good point. Prevention is always better than cure as they say. Though some people can say no simply because they have that much control over themselves and their emotions. I think i can resist if faced with that circumstance.

Got an addiction will not be get rid to our mind and health at any transaction period the only way we can do is limitation our process of gambling and doing gambling also but gambling is a healthy think still we are using it with the limit if it goes to more than the limit then it will be definitely addiction and it make lots of losses also.

I guess your point is that all hobbies are healthy including gambling but all in moderation. Gambling once in a while for fun is good , with this you can avoid getting addict and you can still resist with the temptation of betting again. Strong will power and self control is the key.

I won't tell the past of my gambling story, right now yes I'm now able to resist and I still gamble but I never let gambling consume me. I know myself best and what I can do if I losses my control.

It's okay to play and bet with the amount that you afford to lose but don't just go behind the line or cross the fence of your limitation. That's the start of letting gambling consume you, it's okay to have fun and earn a bit with gambling but just know yourself better and have a limitation.

Yes i like the attitude.
I think you have strong will power to be able to still partake in gambling
and at the same time to be able to say enough is enough and walk away
to re-enter at a later time rather than chasing losses or trying to ride a lucky spell.
That takes a lot of effort.

As I have said, it's hard to control my gambling habits, but I don't know, maybe I just try to get myself busy and not to think of going online or even on a traditional casinos.

Just started to go to the gym again and release everything. hahaha, then go home, go to work. Not thinking of gambling as I used to during the height of my addiction.

Yes of course I can resist addiction, regardless of what gambling I do but I have learned from experience. Honestly, I gamble only to make a profit and I don't gamble with money I can't lose. In the past, I kept thinking about how to take back the loss until I couldn't control it well, but for now I'm much calmer and I can resist to be addicted even though I'm in a losing position. I just believe, luck will be mine one day. Wink

Yup! For me it was only a simple task do because I'm not the addicted type of gambler and besides I'm only playing occasionally due to busy sched making me less hooked in playing games. Being miserly helps me somehow also — I'm a kind of person that prefers saving than spending. That attitude leads me to develop my self control every time I place a bet.

Somebody who has self control like you can easily control their emotions and greed of making money from gambling. This is a good trait as anything in life you can take charge of it in a positive way and will always take rationale decisions. Everyone should try to have the self control so that they does not get carried away by anything.

Things really harder when you are already been occupied by the lust of playing the games, those dice roll who's always appearing inside your mind tempting you to play back, your imagination makes you believe that trying your luck that day will bring good returns, it's so funny but reality wise
it's harder to do things when you are already inside of it.
