I experience this same infect of greed in the years 2011 when I went into betting and gambling. I find out that actually betting is a game of chance and your should not invest the money you cannot afford to lose into gambling and you should not jump into gambling without prior knowledge on how gambling has an inherent risk and reward in it. Greed is the number one enemy of a gambler. Those that succeed are those that are able to control their emotions and invest based on reality. What I do tell people is invest just 2 to 3 percent of your risk capital and no matter the temptation stick to that plan until you became successful.

This will be never easy to recover right because people from everywhere will greed on money for sure I think. It make the decision of our living standard. I have some of friends who lost many amount risky investment and gambling kind of option available to earn btc or Fiat.

It is a common tendency among people to be greedy and not think of consequences before getting into something risky. Gambling is like that. It invites you to play but the owners know very well that people will get greedy. In fact they are actually exploiting your greed if you yourself cant control it. Then again if you are careful then you wont get addicted and wont lose too much in gambling.

Indeed. That's what makes this industry thrive. It's from people's greed to make easy money. Of course who wouldn't want to earn big without working hard right? You just have to be lucky and poof you'll be cashing out a lot. But this is not the scenario all the time and mostly, it's evem the opposite. This scenario is what makes people greedy. The promise of gambling to make them rich just by being lucky.

For me the best way to control your greed in gambling is that, you should consider gambling as a trap, the more you want to win more the more it gives you a chance to lose more.
If you win big once you should quit, just consider your first jackpot as a bait, usually some casinos do that, they let players win and when they're into it they take all the players money because of greed.  Grin

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.

For simple tips, just play with decent goals and no expectation since the more you expect in winning, the more you tend to play for winning which can cause you to increaase your greediness that can cause you losing a game.
I agree with you, never bet more then you can afford to lose.
But sometimes it is very hard to stop after you lost money, because you will always try to return the funds you lost from more betting, which can lead you to lose more then you were planned to bet.

Stay away from gambling, house always win.
Yeah controlling yourself from betting more is so hard specially if you are expecting more and you tend to lose your self-control. Before playing gambling you should always have a piece of mind, a total mind-set, and don't let your feelings control over you. Use your brain it is totally working if you had those characteristics before playing gambling. Only play gamble if you have an extra money and you are ready to lose it for the sake of entertainments.

Gambling in not dangerous for every gamblers. It is only lose-full for those gamblers who have no control on their greedy, That's why we are discuss how to control our greedy? If anyone have fully control on it then i will promise that gambling will not be dangerous for them.     

Yes it is very dangerous but in the same time you can get money and have fun as well. Well some people like me may not get money when gamble but I can still have fun, that is enough for me . Sometimes people want to get profit but they forget that even when they lose they can still have fun when they play on the casino

too difficult to control ourself from greediness
but if we want it we can control with leave it if we feel the profit is enough
i know its difficult but better to try it first

Problem is that many gamblers simply don't feel when it's right time to leave, they think and they hope that they will in with their last bet so usually they lose everything this way. It is better to limit your deposits rather than try to stop when you're gambling, s i am sure that you wouldn't stop then, while if you limit your deposits you wont lose  more than you deposited.
Noboby is ready to accept loss and that's why they never leave even when a linit is set and keeping gambling to the last dollar and its definitely difficult to leave when you have lost some money unless you playing for fun and do not mind losing a few dollars
I think a person who feels greedy and for whom it is hard to accept that money can be lost, it is best not to try gambling or immediately quit gambling. This sphere is for responsible people who can set the limit on time and money they can spend and really not go beyond this limit no matter what happens. I guess people feel greedy both when they win and lose. When they win they want to get more money and when they lose they also want to win. Gambling is a dangerous sphere for everyone.
Gambling is a dangerous place because it makes the nature of evil in us outbreak and become stronger, and greed is one of those evil nature. I think whether we accept loss or satisfaction with victory, greed will still exist and wait until the right time, it will attack and control us, we can not control or eliminate it unless we stop gambling completely. Greed is our instinct, the right time and place, it will automatically appear, we have no way to control it, the best is that we should soon stop gambling before it's too late

Gambling in not dangerous for every gamblers. It is only lose-full for those gamblers who have no control on their greedy, That's why we are discuss how to control our greedy? If anyone have fully control on it then i will promise that gambling will not be dangerous for them.

I don't think you can control greed on your own. I would suggest bringing someone with you when you gentle or if it's online have someone watch over your shoulder and give you advice. Maybe they can stop you from betting too wildly. Though there is always the flip side and you win this wild bets. It's very hard to know what to do.

One question is who command yourself?  Who decide for yourself?  Who thinks for yourelf?  And who wants to control greed?  I do not believe that you need someone to control your greed.  All the decision are made by you.  People have only influence to us if we allow them, else we do not care.  So the power to control our greed is in our own hands.  It is a matter of decision, determination and discipline.  If you can decide to not be greedy, determine to do it and discipline yourself and stick to it then I believe you can control your greed on gambling.
Yeah I agree with you, we who have control over ourselves and we can certainly eliminate greed by thinking something else, we do not need the role of others to eliminate greed because they can only give us a suggestion but ourselves Who must decide every thing we will do maybe by thinking the potential of loses the money you has got can make you able to control the greed.

I'm not really sure that makes a lot of sense. If we are talking about greed related to gambling then that's probably the hardest thing you could do, impossible even, to control yourself or to tell yourself that you might lose or that you should not look to get more i.e greed. If you are able to do that then you are not a gambler in the first place and you are probably playing for pennies. Having someone that can tell you "Hey it's a bit too much now, maybe you should take a break or take out your winnings/cut your losses". That could be very helpful.
Listening on others suggestion or advice would really be a great help but on our addicted minds will surely tell us to play even more and don't mind those words that have been said to you because you will really strongly believe that you would able to win the next bet and that's the sign of greediness which is really common among gamblers and its hard to control when our addiction to gamble is severe.

Honestly speaking this is the truth and the hard truth which most of us cannot accept - I dont know why but still we have to accept it.

If you think casinos are made to be like charities where you get money for free then you are surely dreaming. Casinos are made to exploit people's greed and make them suffer for it. If you dont know how to control your temptations then you better not gamble at all because at the end of the day you will end up in a net loss in every EV- game.

greediness and the addiction in playing gambling makes a person go mad and lose their self-control. An addicted player seems uneasy if he can’t play gambling for a day. Every person can control themselves from playing in fact, they could stay away from gambling if they know that they are already getting addicted to it. Some players think that it is okay to play gambling even if they have loss many times, it is just crazy to see that it seems like they have no regrets if they failed to win and loss big amount of money. I know that some of them really have the money to pay but if they would just think about it. Bitcoin is much better to use in investing.

Controlling greed can really be hard but if you are going to start as soon as possible and will have the determination to stay away from gambling, maybe the population of addicted gamblers will be lessen.
Addiction and greediness are two different things, some time we become addicted but it does not mean that we are greedy, because a lot of people are there in casino who are addicted to gambling and they play gambling regularly but they have good control over their greed and emotions.

They compromise even on little gain and some time when realize that he is going to lost more they stop playing gambling at all, so that are not greedy in any sense.

The only method is through self-restraining and setting limits to yourself on gambling, both winning money and losing money, Enforcing these limits would still need you to have a strong personality and never exceeding the limits you, yourself set.
The strong personality is the key always.
But when people are into rushing for making their life's biggest opportunity of making easy money, we could never expect them maintaining their strong will. Your self control will challenge you and most of the time people are forgetting their resolutions and just obeying the order of their emotions.
It will be most likely be forgotten by most people or gambler on which their limitation have been put aside already when they are already playing gambling unlike on the times he didnt play he would definitely say that he has control but once hes on the field or playground they will surely forgot those words and let their emotions and aims control them in the end.

It really depends on the person. For me, I had a bad case of chasing losses, but since I realized that I could chase no more, I stopped depositing and had discipline not to deposit more than what I can afford to lose, which is small by the way like around 1mbtc. That's my rule nowadays, so I don't get upset for losing so much money to gambling.
Different people have different ideas about controlling greed but I think that is something natural. Some time even after strolling and promising a lot we cannot do control our emotions and greed, human is  basically greedy by nature and he always demand for more and more even after getting a lot he cannot get satisfaction therefore I person have control over their emotion so it is a God gifted quality which do not possess everyone.

Many people gamble online because they don't want others to know that they are gambling but brings someone along with them to stop is not possible for many gamblers. But one thing they can do is that go with only the money which can afford to lose for that session or fix a certain amount for each session and never load more than that money even though losing that money within few seconds. That way one can limit their losses from gambling.
