It is very difficult to control greed. In playing gambling when you can win the game then you will always try again. Even if you lose but you will spend money to re-open the chances of winning. And if we are not greedy then we can get big profits .This is a big loss of greed. We can lose everything we have. Not many people can control the nature of greed they have.

I guess it will be very difficult in control, even if you want to. But, if it comes from your heart, I'm sure it can, because if you can control yourself, I'm sure you can control greed easily when playing gambling.

That's why it's helpful to set a limit on what you can deposit say during a week and never go above that limit. Thus you will enjoy gambling without losing to it more than you can afford. It's hard to do at first, especially for an addicted gambler, but if you'll manage to do it your life will change for better.
That could be a good thing to do, set your limits in order for you not to lose all. You need to have a self discipline learn to have a limit, if you have been done that for many times and for top long you are now have a control in yourself. And just be contended in every winnings in that case you may avoid greediness and you may be so happy with it.

I wasn't able to control my greed when i was still new in gambling, I kept repeating losing every week in casino. The reason why i can control my greed now is because of my EXPERIENCE. The more i lose the more i understand the importance of CONTROLLING yourself. I don't lose a big amount of money now unlike in the past when i was still young in gambling.
It is a good thing you have learned your lesson there are many people losing a lot of money in casinos that seems like they are never going to learn their lessons or they simply try to ignore reality and make their best effort to deceive themselves and think they are going to win.

Try doing yoga and other relaxation patterns, try to have a nice effect when you are involved in a period that confuses you in gambling. Nowadays there are lots tools like fidget spinners and bao ding balls to keep our minds in focus, there's nothing wrong if you try.

I agree, any relaxing activity is good to turn your thoughts away from gambling if you can't control your greed. Also yoga can even help you to enjoy gambling because with yoga you can learn how to control your feelings and you'll diminish your greed to minimum.

In some cases yoga can ruin your life even more than gambling. I mean I'm not against yoga in general and that's a good thing if it helps you to overcome a gambling addiction, but there are some dangerous organizations under the guise of yoga so be cautious.

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.

If you just play in gambling site for fun and happiness purposes only, I think greediness will not come out to the behavior
to each gamblers. Being greed is not a good apllication in gambling it must be remove or taken away as  much as possible.

Having a right mind set and being objective is what you need to prevent grediness. Of course if you feel like your emotion is becoming more dominant than your strategy, it's better for you to stop it and that is what we called a right mind set. Before we gamble, we must be clear on ourselves that we should take it if we lose. If we win, it's also better to stop it so that there is no opportunity for house edge to defeat you.
You should actually maintain a maximum bankroll for each week and once that much is lost you should stop gambling, this way you will at least gain some stability if not a good management. You should always remember one thing in gambling, you wont win !

It is just how long you can gamble with those same funds, if you bust them quickly its poor gambling and if you manage them longer then pro gambling.

That's why it's helpful to set a limit on what you can deposit say during a week and never go above that limit. Thus you will enjoy gambling without losing to it more than you can afford.

Actually you doesn't need any advices and suggestions here to control your greed. It's you after all and the moment you asked questions like that, you already popped out from the usual manner when playing gambling.

You noticed that you are too much greedy in your gambling activity meaning you noticed that your money is losing at all. You realized it now and you care now for your future actions. How to control it? You already know the answer and doesn't need spiritual advice here. Good luck.

I've tried several ways, try away from gambling after won something but i cant, i always want back an back again. I need suggestions who know anyone here have experience and success control his/her greed.
Controlling your gambling and greed can be difficult since it is a behavioral issue, if it is really bad I will recommend that you look for professional help since being that greed can lead to you to become addicted to gambling and with it to lose an amount of money that you cannot afford to lose, also gambling addiction like any addiction tends to get worse if untreated.
yes that is true that most of the people have become addicted to gambling because of their greed, they want to make money in gambling even after losing money for so many time. but still the are not accepting their lost and want to continue gambling and so they become addicted and then find it really hard to quit gambling every  knowing the fact about the result of gambling.

I, too, sometimes have a huge sense of greed and want to get a lot of profits right away, but then I understand that this will lead to nothing good and it is necessary to stop.
Greed is developed in two situations usually, one when you have won a big amount and are feeling life as a heaven and bets as the best way to earn money. The other is when you have lost a lot and you just are too desperate to win it back. So, you just need to overcome these both situations, whenever you win a lot or loose you should try to pause your gambling and take some rest or sleep.
to me I think that greed is already built in our nature. and it is not so easy to over come it. some time we do pre planning not to be greedy, for example we decide to make a limit for our winning and when we will reach to that limit we will stop gambling, but in fact when we even reach to that limit we ignore the promise and continue to make more and more money in gambling. so it is really very difficult to control our greed in gambling games.

Its the most hard thing to make when you are winning, or had won a big ammount, i remember i had made something like 170% mine deposit, soo i asked for cashout(it werent instant/fiat house), soo i took 125% to cashout and were playing with profit, i end loosing all the balance i had from the profit and canceled the cashout to try to recover or hit another prize.
You are right that cancelling withdraw thing has happened with me like 100 times but on bet365 where I deposit via neteller which is funded via bitcoins. In fact at times I withdraw so much and cancel so much that I got a message from bet365 asking me to set a lock withdraw sort of service where I cannot cancel my withdrawals.

I guess the better way to control greed on gambling is to stop overspending for it or an alloted budget for gambling. However, if you have much money to spend in gambling the more you can't control yourself on betting on a particular game. You will become greedy at the end if you can't take it. So as much as possible be responsible on your behavior or discipline yourself before it gets worse.
But making a budget for gambling will indulge more greed, isn't it ?
I mean you would feel that when you have a favorite match ( sports betting ) going on, you will feel like betting all the allocated amount to that single bet an win all the loss you made in previous weeks. I feel gamblers should set their goals and once they reach it they must abort.

Selfcontrol is the only solution for greediness. If you lost your control, then you can handle your money management. If you fix one amount and play gambling means, i am sure you can not make any profit in gambling. You feel you don't have luck in gambling then don't play stop it. Or else if you have confidence that you can control your emotions then only you enter gambling.

Time will come that we can learn from our mistakes because we do not have unlimited amount of money where we can keep losing every time we gamble. As for me, I already accepted the fact that I have no chance if I keep going because I don't set the rules and I know the rules does not favor me.
If you look at the brighter side, gambling can give full entertainment to us and I think it's really possible if we change our vision, instead of being profit oriented, let's gamble for entertainment.
You are correct in your assertions, but people can be very stubborn and may deny reality to points that are difficult to imagine for an average person, I have seen people clearly addicted to alcohol that deny the problem even when they are fully drunk, so I will not be surprised if the same happened to gambling addicts.

I bet you can't control your greed in gambling. It's just in our nature. When someone hands down to you a thousand dollars everyday, you'd be excited. But after a couple of weeks, when you already experience a couple of fun stuffs, you'd start wanting more and more. We all have insatiable wants and that's how we are no matter how hard we try to change ourselves.

In gambling, you'd set a target that's realistic enough for you to win. Once you're in that position, you start gambling more because you want even more profits. You can never change that.

That's the power of experience, many people say that experience is not necessary in gambling, but you've proven that they are wrong, you prove that experience is very useful in gambling. Self-control is very important in gambling, and with experience we can make it easier for us to control ourselves.

Exactly. Having been able to know how it feels to lose because you can't get enough, you'll be more aware of what and what not to do. Experience basically is your weapon against greed. That's probably the reason why newbies are more likely to make greedy mistakes than those who've been gamblig for a long time

Okay, but considering the fact that it is still gambling can't change the fact that we can't lose anymore on gambling, I mean we can't avoid it because of this thing called "House". The greed that we do have inside of us is because of the losses that the house is giving to us every time we try gambling.

That happens very often if we still cannot control ourselves, we have to learn how to accept loses so we will not gonna lose more, the thing is if we are gambling following our emotion, most likely the outcome is a big lose. It's true because as a gambler I have experience a lot of times in my life where I regret not to cash out and enjoy my winnings, we have to instill that discipline in order to enjoy gambling.

Its really hard to control one's emotion in gambling. For me, as a grow older, I find myself able to control in a few instances. But when you are winning, and going big all your control will not work. Because our brain is like wired to be greedy.  And it we are going to regret, its always at the end. So if you have still the chance to quit while you are still positive then I think you should quit already.

I think he alrady accepted the loses but the problem is he try to chase them and as a result, the already won amount turned to nothing.  We should stop chacing loses, you may not be greedy but chasing loses can just do more damage than good.  Aside from that, have determination and stick to the plan that will give you better things.
