I am never addicted to gambling. I can control my emotion. Although I do not play/gamble more often, if I play, I can resist myself from losing a big amount or whenever I make some cash I can quit easily. If I lose at a row, I have my own strategy to quit. Sometimes, I set some budget like as, If I win x amount of dollar, I will not play or if I lose x amount of dollar I will quit.

Actually many users think here that an addict play many times or gamble a lot like they spend their whole day in the gambling here in crypto and in real life gambling but for me if you play with friends,family and someone that you love with so much fun and you know what you do like in gambling if this is affordable for you then i think that's reason is really acceptable,Moreover always control yourself then think always the future like secure your financial in life before taking risk here in crypto

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.


Sometimes I could resist, sometimes I can't.
But now I am more stronger as I learn from my mistakes, I'm matured now and I can control myself
as know gambling addiction will only bring harm into my future, there are a lot good things to focus than gambling.

The answer is within my wife. When her face are all mixed up that's the time I should end my games, whatever it is. Though I'm not really fond of playing but when I win, I slightly being consumed by my addiction and still thanks to my wife Smiley

I really can't help putting myself on the edge. I just love her so much so I can't afford having her being angry for what I'm doing. So it's better to leave it be. (Most of the times I ended up not finishing the games and just leave the money back at the game) Silly me, I'm just a good follower Smiley

I can resist myslef from gambling because I am not much addicted to it,but people have different kind of desired thing to do which they were addicted maybe it becomes their life changing habits in positive or negative way.But when it comes to betting yes I can bet small amount and can stop whenever I want to do.

Of course, and you can feel it already because of the feeling of having an urge to play more because you are enjoying. But what is wrong is that if you don't ever realize how much money you just lose because you let your emotion drives you. But if you have strong control over your emotion, that urge would be easy to stop without a sweat.

I never had a problem with that. When I start losing I just call it a day. Sometimes you just aren't lucky or the odds are against you and it's important to be able to step away. Those who pursue wins at all cost always lose. It's the same when I win. I'm able to say enough and take small profit.

Your attitude is always the second most important thing in gambling with skill and knowledge being the most important.

I've been gambling for nearly as long as I've been in cryptocurrency (starting in late 2014 IIRC), and I've never considered myself to be addicted to gambling in any way, though in one or two instances when I first started gambling I did spend more than I could afford to lose. Gambling's definitely not for everybody, but if you've got good self-control and good mental willpower to gamble, you can always try it out. Becoming addicted to anything at all's much easier than you might think, though, so keep this in mind.

If I've understood correct, you've been lucky enough to stop yourself before things could get very wrong (zero balance or event debt). I just hope that you won't fall in that situation anymore, because once you're there, it's very easy to tell yourself "I want to recover the loss with further gambling"

Yes I have. I usually resist gambling by just gaming mostly. I just sit on video games now instead of gambling and when I do gamble it's with money I earn from faucets and etc.
I remember back in the days I used to bet like crazy, but that slowed down in the future once I learned how to control myself, and well when I hit rock bottom and had no more money to gamble with anyways.

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.

We should let yourself control over gambling because you're human that capable to control yourself not a robot or zombie,right ?
People must aware , before try to gamble , they already aware the risk of gambling so when they experience loss , it's already part of the risk and we should not blame yourself or even suicide

Its ckear from the posrs so far that the key is not to take it so seriously,
to be aware of how gambling can become out of control
Does it mean playing your money that out of your mind? whether you've lost a lot of them?
Those greedy people who will not able to control the urge to place that bet and gambling, they wanted to chase a lot of money.
Good thing if you noticed that you almost turn to addiction you must control your self, having self-limitation is a good idea and self-control as well to discipline your self.

Its clear from the posts so far that the key is not to take it so seriously,
to be aware of how gambling can become out of control and to be
mindful always of how it can spiral to huge losses.

I see gambling as a fun side hobby and I don't let it consume my life.  I treat it as any other entertainment expense like  movies, video games, cars.  The only thing I was truly addicted to before was an online video game that I won't name.  I always had to play everyday or I would get very upset, thankfully that only went on for a short period of time.
If only gamblers will look gambling like this then there will be no more problem. In fact it could be an advantage to your side because you enjoy doing gambling.activity which is.the main purpose why gambling was being created. The winning bets place on or stake is.just to get more excitement in playing the games. Have anyone tried playing games without staking something? It was boring.

Yeah I have done it many times already. What we must do in order for us not to be addicted is to not to gamble every day. Lets just gamble either twice or thrice a week only so that we will not be addicted into gambling. Gambling addiction will not give benefits to you. We must limit our hours into gambling so that we will limit our losses too.

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.



Yes you are absolutely right making the limitation will definitely reduce the losses that happened in gambling so this will be simple while you are controlling yourself when you are gamble otherwise nothing will in our hands.

Through long experiences and after suffering a bad situation caused by gambling, had a lot of loan and can't afford to pay it by myself, now I am starting to force myself not to bet beyond my limit. It is hard to do so at the beginning, but with the help of a bunch stories that people share, finally, gradually, I can do it. I will never bet with the money in needs. I use only small part of my spare money and will keep doing it as long as I can.
