Topic: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? - page 12. (Read 1500 times)

This is right, it's the same as someone who earns a lot but don't know how to save.

Start simple.

And that's through setting a real amount when you gamble. No excess, no additions whenever you're doing good or bad. That's it, from there you'll get to see how effective it is.

If you can't do anything with that specific amounts and you're not able to manage your discipline well, you can't also do the same thing with bigger bankrolls.

Well, it's not too difficult for me to manage my bankroll for my gambling activities, because I usually manage my money every month for whatever things, and I usually set aside a maximum of 10% of my salary every month for gambling. The point is that if you are used to managing your finances and are disciplined and can control your emotions, I think it won't be difficult to manage your bankroll, because that's the only key to being good at it.

The first thing I will say is that luck will not come twice and when you are not satisfied by betting more, you will lose more money this is not just empty talk but this is what actually happens.
I sure that if everyone thinks carefully and understands all this, they will agree that what I am saying is indeed an invisible truth.
A victory must be able to be had with sense of satisfaction because when there is no feeling of satisfaction with the victory then it is no longer about winning, satisfaction or pleasure but only regret because what you have will still be lost in a greater amount.

It is very important to always have sense of satisfaction and be able to manage finances so that what we do in gambling does not consume too much of the money we already have.
Most gamblers forget this because they think there is still tomorrow to work and make money, this is the biggest mistake in human thinking.
We have to change it, we have to have a better mindset in the future to be able to maintain what we should maintain.

I am extremely disciplined and it has never made me to go broke. There have been times when I have used more aggressive bankroll strategies and others more conservative but I have had no problem in going down a level when faced with a bad streak, which is what sometimes people find difficult, mostly because of ego, and what leads them to bankruptcy.

Although this is talking about poker, I do not see much sense to those who use a bankroll to play EV-games, because at the end of the day you are going to lose your money in the long run.

I'm not well disciplined in managing my bankroll but I manage well because my funding is limited and what I allocate is just enough for my session, I always try to play only on what I can afford deposit but I make sure that I manage my bets to the point that I can extend my session the hardest part is losing everything in just a short period of time without enjoying the game.
Your mindset should be on enjoying the game, using the funds you allocate, and not adding anymore if you've done this then gambling is enjoyable and so part I have done this many times in my gambling session.

The strategy I guess is to stick to a small amount. That's what I do. If my gambling wallet has grown a little bigger, I make sure that I'm withdrawing a portion of it and leave only a small amount I can easily lose if my bets go unlucky.

I guess every gambler has had his experience of losing much more than what he initially planned. That's normal. I've been through that myself. Sometimes we go desperate in our bets because we're losing one after another. Sometimes we feel bored with small amounts. And sometimes we give in to it. That's why it is important to keep only a small amount in your gambling wallet. This a good defense in case our discipline is defeated.

Choosing the right bets: How can you be so sure that you make the winning decision? You've said that "whenever I become undisciplined," it only means that your decision is also affected by your being undisciplined, and gambling is gambling. Even if you know you chose the right bets, you will never know if your bet will win or lose. So you said to yourself that you sometimes become undisciplined when it comes to gambling, and "sometimes" could be always, so if you always let yourself gamble without discipline, then you will never be able to control it.

I know many gamblers have this issue too, including me, or almost every gambler does that. That's why we have addicted gamblers who are undisciplined with their actions, which affect not just themselves but also the people around them. So before it's too late, manage your self-control because without you noticing, you will never have your self-control again.

You must have a rule when you put your stake, like how much on every bet. It's like doing risk management in gambling.
Because by doing that, you will protect your bankroll. The more you can control your hands betting too much, the high chance your bankroll will not be enough for you especially if you already losing and you want to win it back.

Before, I also gamble recklessly and not thinking of the consequences of my actions. But it's true that if you already experienced the worse, that's how you'll realize the mistakes you did. A lesson learned the hard way as we often say.

In order to not exceeds on my limit, I have a set budget everytime I gamble. Regardless of the result (win or lose) that's the only money I can use. But to do this, one should have self control to not be tempted. Because if you can't stick to your set budget, chances are you will always be tempted to deposit again to feed your eagerness to play.

I don't know how other people manage their bankroll, but in my case I manage my bankroll in the following way: when I deposit money at the casino, I put 10% on each bet and with that I already know what I will do. 10 bets with the same odds value. for example if I put 10$ in the casino then I will bet 1$ on each game and I will choose games with odds above 2.00 and so if I get a bet right then my bankroll increases, but if I lose on a bet then I go back placing $1 and placing a bet on the game with odds above 2.00. I don't bet to get my money back, I don't bet to win a lot, I don't change my pattern

Of course this is not a profitable strategy because in games of chance it is not about making a profit, this is a way for me to prolong my gaming section, at some point the bank goes bankrupt and I put in another 10$ and do the same thing, Sometimes when I see that I have made a profit and that leaves some money left, then I place multibet bets to try my luck, if I win I have more money to continue playing, but I don't set too many expectations when I place bets, I am very aware that gambling games Bad luck is not something to make a profit, the sooner a person becomes aware of it, the better for the person

Many people think that having good bankroll management will make them earn money with gambling, but in my opinion, having good bankroll management only helps people to be able to play for longer with the money they deposit. but it will not come out with profits in both the short term and the long term. I hope people can understand this

It's very paramount that you apply discipline well enough if not regardless of the strategy or the budget or plans you may not be able to maintain good bankroll management because they lack that very element that would have helped them maintain their planned bankroll management.

Although you can't possibly attain 100% of discipline but then if you continually practice it, you get used to it such that it becomes your habit and turns out even more difficult quitting. Personally in other no to be further tempted, I will only go to the casino with the amount I planned/ budgeted to play with or if it's online, I fund and immediately keep my credit cards away so if I loose that amount ,I don't go back funding again and further loosing more money.

It's not easy for me I still struggle from time to time I have to lose a big portion of the coins I'm using for staking to realize that I have a very risky behavior of mismanaging my bankroll, it's a realization that if I keep mismanaging my bankroll I will always end up nothing and this will hurt my finances so every time I play the thought of losing and mismanaging my bankroll always pop up.

For me, it is the realization and remembering that the cycle of losing all your bankroll will always occur if you cannot manage your bankroll so the key for me is realization, you can't do it by just saying that I will control my bankroll, there should be something that will remind you of the bad things of mismanaging your bankroll.

This is not easy to answer because I had the same mistakes too and I believe there are lots of gamblers who are in the same boat as you.
There are times when I get so frustrated that nothing hits, so I go wild and put all the bets that I want. Just recently too, I got so mad at Plinko that it gives me nothing in 16 lines. It's always x2 and x4 which is my max win and the x9 and x18 are being avoided. So, I went wild, went to manual mode, and pressed the bet button rapidly with lots of balls going down. Sadly, that kind of strategy doesn't work and I just hasten my losses.

How to better manage it. My thoughts right now are just going back to sports betting, I mean just focusing on it because casino games had not given me good profits although I got a good amount of wagers doing it. Maybe I was too focused on reaching a wagered amount that I didn't realize I was losing more than what the bonuses would give me.

Uoi should set aside a gambling budget for the week from your monthly income and whenever, you have exhausted the money you need to wait till the next month budget agaim. This will help you mange your bankroll and it will help to discipline you in your gambling activities, so that you dom' spend too much o gambling.

You should also learn on how to control your emotions when gambling and this is very important for a gambler. You should know that gambling is either you are to win or lose, for this reason when you are gambling your should always know that losses most come, so that when you start experiencing losses, you can know that it is normal. This will help you to control your emotions so that you don't start chasing your losses tryin to win back your funds as this will lead to more losses.

No, I would never bet a small amount if I don't feel the thrill. I think it's useless to do that because what we're looking for when we gamble is to win and be thrilled all the time. So, betting without feeling something when the game concludes would defeat the purpose of gambling. The reason I'm dissatisfied sometimes is because of small wins, and that leads me to continue chasing wins until I lose my discipline and forgot to use a conservative approach in bankroll management.


There's no fun in copying bets from other people, in my opinion. My goal is to win consistently based on my own effort, and I know that copying bets does not lead to consistent winning since we can't compel a tipster to share his bets all the time. In gambling, the only person we can rely on is ourselves.

all I can say about this is you need to get your priorities/responsibilities straight because if you don't it won't matter if you have an elaborate plan on how to manage your bankroll, all that plan will be all for nothing if you can't prioritise your responsibilities. in short, the "factors" you consider(doesn't matter if you can't be satisfied) are your priorities/responsibilities.

Use a percentage every time you want to gamble and set a bankroll while you can afford to lose, such as if the bankroll is exhausted then you need to stop and should no longer be encouraged to play even if you think it is a good opportunity to gamble again, because if you have a pattern like this you will not be disciplined and will even continue to bankroll that has been set.

I have set smaller every week for gambling if I lose then I try as much as possible not to fill the bankroll again and try to try to be disciplined from there, the point is as small as possible you should set a bankroll because if it is bigger you will not feel satisfied especially not having a good win.

I gamble but I don't consider myself a gambler which means I don't gamble a lot to worry about things but when I gamble I am being responsible while depositing the funds to the casino wallet and with the bet amount but still I can't say that I was in complete control at the wins and loss and that's bound to happen, everyone, if I am not wrong but the thing is I realize that I am beating something that is not supposed to be right and I will leave the game either I was in loss or win at that particular day.

Yes, it may be easy for you to do, but we have to see in general that there are many people who have difficulty in managing their finances, especially when they are involved in gambling. Although what you are doing is very appropriate and it seems like there is no problem at all in doing it, but not everyone can do it even though we have suggested it as hard as possible. The problem is in the mindset, if only they had the mindset like you who gamble just for fun then they would not be likely to have difficulty in terms of management, that's one of them.

Basically, limiting or reducing is what every gambler is better off doing in terms of budgeting for gambling, lucky enough for people who don't have high  hopes and aren't really interested in gambling, because then they will have a good balance in their finances. Yes that's right, the fact is that there  are still a lot of other things that are quite fun and not risky, but whatever everyone has the freedom to choose whatever they want even without careful consideration, it's really out of our control.

Discipline in gambling is something that I have been able to maintain over the years, Once I remember the responsibilities I have to keep and bills to sort out with money, it becomes easier to manage my bankroll and reduce the number of times I gamble as well as my spending on other things. Gambling should be for fun and not to put your finances in jeopardy, if you start finding it difficult to manage your bankroll, you can take a break from gambling and try out other fun activities.
