That is why this stuff called gambling, nothing certain and predictable here.
And what makes gambling fun is indeed because of trying to make a prediction on something that uncertain .

There is no fun in that and seriously if you want to have some fun then you should bet and win it. If you keep losing then you wont feel any fun at all. Some people miht not be honest with this however when they gamble all they want is just one thing, which is to win and no one wants to gamble and lose away all his money when you keep losing however thats probably why most people cant stop gambling at all
It depends on what kind of casino game we are talking about in a game of dice I don't have doubts that what you describe may happen, but in sports betting watching the game is already fun by itself and you make a small bet then you are only adding a little bit more of fun, so not everything is about winning.

We must admit that gambling is a disease. If it is a disease then it has to be cured somehow. It is cured relatively easily, because you just have to stop gambling. Thus, step by step, you have to approach to this goal. So, yes, there has to be a limit of money you can spend and of time as well. The limits are to be norrowed down day by day. I think other ways of trying to stop gambling just don't make sense.

I usually stop gambling when I've reached your daily goal. but when I have a bad thing in that day because it has lost 50% of the total deposit I would stop and try tomorrow

When do you stop? Do you have a daily limit or something?

The best way to stop are limit your gambling capital and time to play.
Many people do the same thing, don't try to recover loss if the capital is gone.
If you win or at least double your funds than stop it, you're lucky enough to get those profits.

This has been mentioned many times too in this thread, but I think this is one great way, controlling how much time you are going to use in gambling and limiting your bankroll...This is going to be effective, just hope that greed when you win and desperation when you lose won't strike you so you won't get out of control...  Smiley

Start small and try to win small. Then build up on that and save your initial deposit: then you are free to play. If you lose it does not matter.
At least you try to build confidence and to understand what are your limits.
Wash, rinse, repeat and good luck!
and what that time you spent for making money, to me the most precious thing is the time and  not the money, you need to make your time more precious. if you will make money in gambling and then lose it then it is not good because you wast your special time without gaining any thing.

Yeah time is gold and precious but in gambling that is a different because if you are going to realize that what you only need when you gamble is just money.

You can't start to gamble if you don't have that and that is what you only need. And basically, you will just stop if you don't have that anymore.

And that's how I stop when I gamble, when I almost don't have anything anymore.
not a good idea mate, because it will haunt you from time to time thinking of your loses will stress you up for sure, i know most of us here always wanted to have some fun but aside from it greediness come along and let our enjoyment turned into real gambling to the point that we able to afford losing our hard earnings.
Not all the time it will haunt me, that is going to teach me a lesson if I am that type of gambler that cannot control his own emotion.

Because when a gambler is being attacked by his own greediness, he is not going to stop.

And most of the time gamblers are just going to stop when they don't have anything anymore, which is really happening nowadays.

In the past months i will only know that i have stop when my balance is turned to 0. But because i am always losing everyday and i kept depositing i've learned that setting a limit for loss or for win is the best strategy to know when to stop. Because if you will not set it then you'll just playing without a goal or just a goal to win that always becomes the opposite, unless you have a goal then you can say that i won for today or i loss some bitcoin today.
Setting a limit is one of the things that I often read in this board. I don't agree with the idea of that. There are even some people that to stop addiction, you should set a limit on your bets. I don't think so. Putting a limit on your bankroll just limits your potential loss. Maybe it's good to some people but there are people that don't actually care about how much money they lose. What if it's already midnight and then your bankroll is still not empty? Then are you going to play until the morning knowing that you have things to do for tomorrow?

Setting a limit on your bank roll and then going home once you're bankrupt wouldn't always work because what if you win instead of lose all of those money? Are you not going to stop?

I always know when to stop. When I already get a decent income for that day, I stop. When I feel like I'm always losing, I also stop for a while.
In short, you will know when to stop if you have control over yourself.
to me actually i have fixed a limit for me to play gambling up to that limit and when i reached to that limit i stop gambling, actually it prevent me from losing a big money. and help me in controlling my self in gambling.

That is a good way to stop and you can by time build it to a lower amount every time till you can simply stop with it completely.

Well there are a lot of factors that I consider before I stop gambling.

1. Have I gambled away too much of what I can afford to lose?
2. Can I afford to lose any further?
3. Am I too hot headed to make decisions properly right now?

I like your step by step strategy. It could really help gamblers control themselves. I too have my own guidelines when gambling, I sometimes don't follow it and end up negative. That's why I think your #3 is really a key answer to myself. Problems that I encounter are really annoying, and stopping is a way to stop it.

That's worst if you wait til your balance turn to zero before quitting. But your way right now is good, limiting your self from too much betting by setting a goal. You could also save a lot of time with that since your bets are well planned. Aside from that, I suggest that you do more real life activities, that could make you provide smaller time to gambling, which is a very good way to stop either win or lose.
We can fix one amount, but we will not follow that method while playing gambling. Yup suppose if you are in 4 to 5 streak win your goal already reached so tell me now will you stop your play or will you continue. Many gamblers answer is they will continue to make some more wins. But in the end, they will lose everything. So fixing one range is good but first, you have control on your play.

That is how I gamble at first, but sometimes when I'm having hard time to reach that limit I am reducing that limit and as long as I do have already some decent profit maybe 1/4 of the limit that I had set, then that will be fine so I will stop. And when there are times that my hands want to gamble but there is an aura that is stopping me, then I will not gamble for that day.

I will stop when I lost all of my balance or when I doubled my balance!

Well good for you if it's the latter dude. Though we really can't say that for everybody. I've known people who didn't stop when all their balances are gone, instead they searched for ways or means to continue gambling.seems gambling brings out different characters of people eh? Cheesy

That's not even good to stop just when you lost all of your balance or when you have doubled it already. The best thing to stop is when you have already acceptable amount because making your money doubled is quite hard to achieve nowadays. It is much better if you are going to stop when you are bored already.

People who have continued to gamble lost everything because they are addicted. You're just going to lose everything. Addicted people should get treated and not let others others be given a chance again to gamble. It's just going to take every bit of your items, including yourself. Don't get addicted and just play for fun.

You are right with that.

You must be an ambitious guy , sometimes gambling not just about win and win.
But there is an essential more that that, people still feel happy even they lost in the game.
A thrill that makes they happy when waiting the outcome more than as satisfied as when you keep getting a win.
