It is one of the most difficult tasks to be done in our life - CONTROL over yourself even when you know you are doing something wrong.
There are a lot of things in the world which are weird and gambling is one of those things doing which a person loses his capability to stop himself from continuing it, under the influence of addiction. When such things happen, either should you see a guide to help you get out of it or to help you do it for fun and not living, or you should start doing things and keep yourself busy with them which will help you to recover from the distraction it creates in your mind.
Why people don't have control over their emotions? Let's look at this problem with a scientific point of view.

It is due to the behavior of brain that a person loses control over his decisions. Our mind trains itself according to every new environment because it tries to adjust in all sorts of weathers. Meditation is the only solution because this calms down our brain in every situation.
You have a got a point, greed is basically a strong emotion and in order to control emotions, we must have a calm brain, this game is all about staying calm because such person can act according to the results. He will first think about all his actions and their consequences, then he will do what will favor him. It is difficult but if a person will practice staying cool then his gambling greed won't be any problem.
Nothing can be more difficult than controlling one's emotions. Easy to say, difficult to do. Emotions and feelings are what makes humans, humans or else this world would have no fools. Greed is one of the extreme sort of negative emotion which conquers the senses of a person and the victim will never even realize this. A drunkard never knows that he is drunk or lost.
But with determination and help from the close ones, a person can recover and get a control over his emotions. Gambling do drive the gamblers crazy with the passage of time but it is not very difficult to get out of it. All you need to do is make a decision and then act on it like a real man. No feeling is stronger than courage and determination. It makes the impossible possible.

Most gamblers become greedy because takes too long to be in casino. So, his ambition to achieve great winning is increasing and when that concentration becomes chaotic.
Spending more time in a casino is just an action of a greedy person, the fact that we are gambling to make more money in an instant that made us greedy and for me there is no problem with being greedy if we totally understand what we are doing and it has made us profitable in gambling.
Even when you are not spend long time in a casino you could still become greedy later when you get back there.
As long as you hold money or maybe an extra money you have quite a lot , you will always have a desire to give a shot looking for the luck.
Greedy should be handled with a discipline , you won't get hurt to lost a lot as you are disciplined enough to stay on the line where there's a limit for you to making profit and to get lost at certain amount.

I think it's best to set limits for the game. Without a limit, it's simply impossible to overcome your greed and this will only lead to losses in the midst of the game.

It's always an easy thing to say, and something that should work.. in theory. But if you truly set limits and then start gambling I guess you are already at a loss. To me it is more or less suicide with setting limits. If you are in fact gambling and if you are gambling enough to overcome stupidity and actually set proper limits you will find it extremely difficult to uphold these limits. All you can really do is put the trust in yourself that you'll follow them but then when you sit there, gambling, you'll think about other things.

Obviously it can depend on what games you are playing, as some games have small breaks in them where you can think about what you are actually doing. But if you are playing slots for example, time flies away, there are no breaks in between rounds and the money just flows.
This one- I agree which it depends on what kind of game you are playing because there are some games which you can really have a break like on sports betting which will really limit you out on your further actions because you can still able to think off on the best possible way regarding into your bet or play style. Greed is really a tough enemy because it is always been part of ourself when we are already talking about money.


That's really something to consider. Since I would say not all gambling games are fun for me, so I don't see myself overplaying those games. However, if I do enjoy the game then I would likely play it again the next time I want to gamble. Though, I think I have a low tendency to get addicted but still when playing I would like to play the game I like to play and I enjoy.

If that's the case you can consider yourself very lucky. I think I enjoy gambling, but I gamble too much. I can gamble on anything, I could literally gamble on what your reply to this would be if any bookie would take that bet. It's been a long time since I could just enjoy it and have fun rather than thinking about how to win & increase my money. I consider myself driven by greed but that can be because of what I've gone through and how I grew up. Nothing to blame it on but we are all different. I don't think greed has to be a bad thing, but there are times that I wish I was wired differently.
Haha.. That is a whole new level of gambling and I have never seen any gambler like this. You also appear to be pretty confident about your bets. Don't you think you must try to lessen your this habit. Maybe you have not faced any great loss yet and I hope you never will but with your experience, you can tell much better about how dangerous this game really is.

Obviously I'm confident in my bets, in 2015 I was basically only getting income from my betting and gambling, probably took out between $2.5k-$5k per month from it. But then I had a few months of great losses too. I've had a month where I could lose $10k just like that and it would be difficult, especially when confronted about my Mrs. about where the money is. It's not a life I want anymore but it is a life I've had and it did teach me a lot of things.

I won't say I'm "cured" right now, as I still can be a complete degen and bet away several thousands of $ from time to time and it feels terrible afterwards.

beside takes too long in casino, gamblers can be greedy when they can win more than 2 times with easy so they are thinking that in next round, they can win more money. it is good if we have ambition but we need to realize that when we are playing gambling, there is a big chance for us to losing our money but the other side, we have a chance to make big money.

Dude, greed is the reason why we want to win much more than we need so controlling it in the first place is going to be a huge problem. Addicted gamblers are not contented even they had enough winnings because they want it all.

Greed can be a good thing if you have the right motivation for that. You can greed for money, you can be greed for love, you can be greed to help people, see ? But if you lose in gambling, and get greedy to win in just one day. Then you spend all your money and lose again, then that is not good.

I personally do not like gambling that much. I used to gamble just for collecting enough money to start other business.
so you manage to win over your greed then mate? lucky for you that after winning you manage to collect you money to divert to other business unlike what happen to me that i lose a lot and didn't manage to catch back and recover but the good thing is i already control myself not to play that much and not to lose big amount again rather to invest it with trading and learn to wait for my term to earn.

You are wrong mate, hahaha. I just making an example to not get greedy in gambling. There are a lot of other online business out there, not just gambling. We all know that, there is no easy way to become suscessfull. So my point is, I am just like you. I never get profit in gambling, I just losing all money with it. So I never gamble anymore. I would prefer investing than gambling, same as you.

we can not control greed because we always have time where we have to dare to speculate actively, sometimes the time we specify is also not effective because we are always driven to get more income opportunities.
It's just us who will decide and control our self in gambling, if we cannot control then there is no reason to gamble as it will only make us stupid to spend money without having fun since for sure we will lose most of the time. Gambling is a very risky way of making money therefore there is no room for greediness in this kind of game where we are not certain of the results and we do not have an edge.

As i know gambling is all about luck and how to control my greed, except sportbetting (of course need skill and strategy).

I have experience in gambling (casino), somtime i hit big only with faucet or free money and i can withdraw from that. but because my greed i always want more and more, then i'll come again with my money as bankroll. Bet more and hope win more, but because of that i'll lose my money little by little and usually i'll stop after my bankroll to be "0". I call that with greed.
Anyone here have any suggestion to control my greed? Let me know.

In order to control greed you should aim for a certain amount of money to win or play with and call that your "objective". In result you'll have a certain checkpoint or objective with which you'll know if you need to continue or stop . You should also learn how to be satisfied with what you got or what you won and call that a day instead of keep playing until bad luck strikes and your bankroll goes empty .

That's true. Greediness is next to evilness. I know everyone here experienced or tried to greed in over one thing. Me too, I already did this sometime. This is not so good. After that happen you will regret that you hurt someone in the end.
