Some months ago, I placed a bet, but the potential of winning wasn't enough for me. Then I added one more game and, to cut a long story short, the game was lost with only the last game I added. Secondly, I wanted to bet on a game with N5000 naira but something that had no value came up, then I used half of the money I wanted to use for Staking the bet to purchase something un-meaningful to me. But when I finally bet the game with the remaining balance, the game played, and I won just N9000 naira, so I am angry, but not too angry, because we don't have to blame ourselves for winning big or small, as long as we didn't lose at all.

At that point in time, we realised that sometimes we have to win a little money instead of big, because big winning times bring over excitement and most times, when too excited about our wins, we take gambling as a job that we must do every day.

It's simple, we have to think about what impact we get from not being able to control gambling. The impact is very bad and even affects our innocent families. Instead of that happening, I think it's better to play with reasonable limits, and we have to be able to control that with the best control we can.

We can't avoid blaming ourselves when placing small bet if there's an instance that winning huge amount will be possible. However, if you're greed comes so high most probably regrets comes after if losses tend to occur with highest percentage.
Placing a bet should become a mindset, that you can afford to lose that amount of money in order to keep yourself free from frustrations. Always be satisfied of what decision you've come up with.

Greed is part of human nature especially when money is involved and only few can control it. However, the thought should not only be focused on the winning aspect as the chance of losing is always higher than winning. Imagine losing the bet and the money is gone for ever, you will be glad for making that decision to place a minimum amount. Your mind will be at peace and free from greed when you realize the risk involved in case it turns out bad. It's better to bet little amount and win moderate than to be eager to bet high and end up losing all.

Although, practicing this strategy depends on how you see gambling. If you see gambling as an avenue to make money, you'll always wish to bet higher so you can win high forgetting that the higher you bet, the higher your chance of bankruptcy. Always gamble responsibly.

The main reason is you want to make money, that's why you feel greedy and want to increase your bet in order to win big amount of money. To get rid from this you must gamble only for fun, this will make you able to control yourself. If you're in a condition lack of financial and want to make more money, you should try to get a side job or learning a new skill first, then you will have nothing to lose to gamble.

Everything should really be in moderation or simply needed up to be in control so that you wont really be ending up yourself on a tough situation or difficult moment of your life just because you had tolerated that wrong doing or decision specially when dealing up with gambling on which we do know that it is really that too dangerous if you do tolerate out such thing and wont really be making out that immediate step for you to be able to have that kind of awareness about on your action.Its impossible that we cant really be able to distinguish between good and bad but sometime due to love of money or simply with greed then we do really forget out things which needs to be done rather than on tolerating your greediness.

Everything should really be in moderation because if you don't then you are really that prone into those usual wrecking situation in terms of finances.
Never ever make yourself that too dumb on doing the right thing or decision because it would really be just for your own good.
What you say is correct because controlling ourselves when we gamble will not give us problems and we can also enjoy it. And if we can gamble within these limits, we can know that gambling is just entertainment and we shouldn't expect too much profit from gambling. Instead, we have to look for other ways to work to make money so that we don't gamble too often. If they continue gambling, they can become greedy, especially when they win, so they won't think it happened because their luck came.

We should always be careful when playing gambling and not be too eager to win many games. We must prevent greed that can arise when we are gambling. Gambling is not a way to make money but is only a way to enjoy entertainment where we can look for other entertainment that doesn't cost too much money.

Emotion is the only thing to manage when it comes to gambling and trading. Greediness is part of the emotion we pour into gambling. If we cannot control ourselves we might lose depending on how much we have invested in.
The key to dealing with all of this is to limit the gambling budget, because if we consistently limit the budget even when we lose and the money runs out we will automatically stop without having to make another deposit, emotions and greed will not cover our feelings when we lose, as long as we consistently limit our gambling budget so that can be an alarm for us when to stop gambling.

I even do that often and it's true that I'm not affected by increasing my bets because I've already reached my daily gambling budget limit. so I have to stop gambling and come back tomorrow to gamble again, if we are consistent with this habit it is guaranteed that it will not become an addiction too, in the end gamble wisely and responsibly. Everything must be managed properly, the point is to limit the budget.
That's the most important thing without a doubt. I know that there are a lot of people who do not approach it with that much care but those will be the people who will end up losing a lot of money as well. I personally believe that the best part about limiting your budget is that it allows you to gamble care free.

Well, simply put you can gamble however you want, if your money is gone then it's gone and it's limited so you knew that you are going to lose that money, how and when doesn't matter because that was always the point, you allowed that money to be lost from the start and that's how you are going to end up getting more fun. This means that you are going to end up with gambling with more fun, and you can do whatever you want and you can just enjoy life much better. This means that limiting your betting amount, like with one deposit that is it for the whole month type of thing, could result with you not only getting joy, but also even maybe better results too.

Exactly, you can't control that in terms of luck though experienced may allow you to assess the possibility I mean can give you some hint to whatever next steps you need to do either to avoid losing a lot or to quit while you still have some decent profits, emotion is your killer when you are into this activity, most of the time greed dominate you, thinking that you can earn more if you will keep pushing and aiming for bigger profits instead of quitting and enjoying small earnings.
That's right. No one knows when luck will come, so we must gamble in moderation and don't need to chase victory. Moreover, by gambling moderately, we can avoid the increase in emotions that will continue to grow as long as we play and will become bigger if we play any longer. Playing longer will obviously affect our emotions and if we win, it will make greed dominate us so that we only want to win and find it difficult to accept defeat. We have to control it so we don't experience many losses if luck doesn't come to us. And before we lose more, we must be able to stop gambling and leave the casino before the greed becomes bigger and it is difficult for us to control it.

yes.. I often do that, when my target hasn't been achieved I keep playing and hope that my target is achieved but everything runs out before I reach the target.

It is difficult to find a definite formula so that we can control finances and greed. Maybe we can only use feelings, if we feel that our luck is not good, we should stop playing and withdraw the remaining money before it is all gone. But it is always easier to say and very difficult to practice.

Maybe just step aside the money that you want to play and you will be good? The problem is that when we lost that money, our first instinct is to try to get it back and recoup our losses that's why we went and go deposit again and again until it's too late that we lost all our money. And the next time, we said to ourselves that we will try to control our emotions and yet we still fall for that trick of depositing again after a lost, unless you really are very lucky that day and recovering or at least on the positive side. So it's very very hard indeed to manage our greed. Actually there are players who already won but when greed sets it, they can't just get out of that cycle and wanted to play more.

Exactly, it is very difficult to escape from such wrong instincts, even though initially you have managed to get a win but surely the assumption will come out that "I have to continue playing with a larger number of bets so that the winnings are also getting bigger", and after that your money including the results of the victory will run out, it usually happens when they have won. And then especially if you lose, as you said they will not accept the results and surely the first instinct that comes out is that they have to get their winnings again with a larger amount in order to cover the previous loss, then they will make another deposit with very high hopes and a little emotional feeling of revenge, but what happens? Well lose again, that's a fact that often happens and of course must be avoided because it is clearly very dangerous. The fact is that most people who end up addicted and end up with all the downturns start with problems like the ones I have said above.

I think it's just nonsense even though they initially said that they would make full control with some restrictions there, because of course it is very unlikely that they can do it when conditions are not good - okay. Cycles like this will continue to happen and only a small percentage can get out of a zone like this, so set the right mindset when you are new to gambling, don't be tempted by anything because it's just a trap, there is no certain victory but only defeat will continue to dominate.
People typically think they're resistant to gambling addiction until they're hooked. Though "I'll control myself" or "I won't let it get to me" is easy, our brains have a weird way of justifying our actions when we're losing. We say, "Just one more bet and I'll win it all back" or "This time, I've got a feeling it'll be different." But does it ever change?

Healthy gaming involves much self-awareness and discipline. Limit your gambling. Leave when you reach that limit. No doubts. Otherwise, you'll keep losing. Casinos and internet gambling sites are meant to hook you. Do you control yourself or do they?

Well that's how it goes for most things people get addicted to.  They always think they're fine until they're not.  I compare it to taking drugs, you always start off slow and it's fun and everything is fine until you spiral out of control and you tend to not even realize it along the way.  I feel for those whom are addicted, because for me it's never been an issues thankfully.

Greed in betting is easily limited by the thickness of the wallet. If the wallet is not completely full, then this will moderate the ardor with the bets.

Regrets, self-blame and other emotions are not appropriate in gambling if you are chasing a big win. Emotions will not help, but on the contrary, they will only harm, therefore, it is necessary to restrain them as much as possible and adhere to the strategy. Only a systematic, prudent and balanced game. It's like you're on a secret mission and one wrong move with your bet will reveal you. Smiley It is more prudent to place bets in accordance with your limits, determined in advance by the strategy and initial action plan.

Better yet, for your wallet, is not to gamble at all. And then, all the above-described problems and questions become irrelevant. Smiley
But the thing is we cannot avoid these emotions, we can only manage it. All people has this kind of emotions , some people can manage it very well but for some people they cannot do it because their emotions controls their brain, their decision and they cannot think properly because they only think that they need to win no matter what happen and it will cause them so much trouble.

For much long now I have never place bet with a higher amount but there was a bet i placed few days ago and i was tempted to increase my wager from what it should be before, Let say i often gamble with at least 200 Naira and maximum is 2,000 for a multiple bets But recently something came into me to start increasing my wager above my limits due to a game that was predicts to me it gives me all possibilities that I could cash out big time. This now made me to come here to asked how do you control your greed with your bet amount, do you go ahead placing the bet as your minds speaks or do only maintain to your limits whether it plays or not doesn't matter.

Again why do you regret after putting smaller amounts and it happens the games went as planned and starts blaming yourself for not increasing your bet amount, maybe by now you could have cashed out big time. How do you control this thought over your ends do you keep to your regulations of always placing bets with some limits or you place bet according to your mind and regrets after losing that amount for not following your limits?

Lets discuss wisely and if something related to this post please point it out.. Maybe would devote time to study what has been written over there.

This is actually the problem of the century for every human being and during my stay here in this forum I have heard of people saying that greed doesn't really affect them which I deem it fit to be a big whole lie because greed gets to every gambler if not always then it must have gotten to you maybe once or twice but the community seems to have alot of people trying to pretend and I understand the reason why because it's a public community and writing some kind of things get read in different ways.
We all have greed hidden within us, but the problem is some have managed to control it while others have become slaves of their own greed that they tend to be carried away and do decisions impulsively. With gambling, if you are under the control of greed, you will most likely lose in the end. That is why to prevent yourself from being too much greedy, set your budget first before you decide to bet. Whether you win or lose, at least you know you never fall on your greed that will surely ruin your hard earned funds.

Being level-headed while doing gambling activities is ideal- but like what we have experienced, it is easier said than done. I do recommend that you bring only enough cash/resources for the day so that you would be compelled to stop.
Yes, it's true that the most important factor is limiting the budget and what you said is true, bring enough money, make sure you gamble with money that is ready to be lost, when the money runs out and reaches that limit, of course we will automatically stop gambling because that can be an alarm for ourselves. rather don't gamble too deeply and seriously, let alone gamble without limits until you become addicted as a addict.

When we limit our gambling budget, the greed within us will definitely disappear because we are used to consistently controlling it and playing gambling more calmly, it is difficult to do but it is mandatory if we want to be a gambler so that we don't gamble too deeply and make us forget ourselves, especially be greedy.

That is talking about budgeting. To have a range of amount to gamble help to put a stop to losses. At least to have a weekly plan is better and it starts from how much we leave at the gambling account, if you keep so much money above your budget for the week then the chances that we will keep playing from it after loses is high. If we could plan a certain amount daily and total it up to week then even if we exhaust the bankroll in one day, that takes care of the week. However, it is not easy for an addict, a regular player or someone who only gambles after awhile can control his emotion but an addict will find himself going back to bet until he runs out of coins in the account.

We cannot foretell the future so it would still be best to stay in our lane, our limit. If we cannot afford what we are going to lose then it's better to stay away from it. Keep whatever number we are used to because if we jump the gun then we might get rekt. It's a risk. Now, there are courageous people who will do it but it might shorten the playing time or it could be the chance for a faster withdrawal.

I do agree with your statement.

I mean, I understand that it might be tempting to increase your bets especially if you feel the urge to do so. In addition, this urge becomes so addicting to the point that you start to regret by not increasing your wagers if you won the current round. But please take note that in gambling, this is what they want us to feel- the urge to gamble and bet more money on the process.

This is really challenging for us once we are already addicted into gambling. I usually do small bets of $2 to $5 as I am living in a third world country. The max bet that I have back then was $20, but I was lucky enough to win and just called it a day.

I have set my own boundaries and limits when it comes to online casino gambling. The winning streaks are one factor that makes us slowly turn to being greedy. It’s something that is hard to control within our emotions.

Once I am already satisfied with my bets and winnings at a certain amount range, I am calling it a day even if it means I wanted more of that. Same thing goes if I lose at least twice then I stopped.
