It often happens that people go out to play a variety of games of chance with a certain amount of money, but in the end they spend everything if they are gone. How to prevent which technique you base yourself on to spend no further. It's hard to just give up, people persistent in gambling that day, so they can't just tell themselves they'll try tomorrow. Why is this difficult? Is it because of greed?

Everything stems from greed and our emotional attachment when it comes to money.

In gambling, the vicious cycle starts when you continuously gamble with the mindset of earning money, which would eventually cascade into losses especially if you lack the self-determination and will to stop. What makes things worse, in times of losses, you have this feeling of wanting to recover your losses but only to result into further losses.

Now the key here is to plan ahead and limit yourself when it comes to betting. I know this may be easier said than done but that is the only way in order to prevent incurring losses continuously.

If greed is the main source of why you are playing gambling then that's a problem. Being greedy makes us losing a lot of money in the end but can also lead for you to become rich it also depends on your luck, in my experience once you already hit a jackpot then you can stop and just play again on the other day.

Best idea with any new game played is set a budget to 'spend' not gamble so much, until the lessons are learnt on the game then its the price to entering the game.   After some sucess then its worth the gamble but still set a regular budget for every day or week however often its played.      If the budget is regular every day not left open then it makes the success and reasons why more obvious, its more possible to learn and remember what works when working with a set budget.

That is we called self-discipline. In-line with that, we have to know the capability of our pocket, not tend to the point that we are able to commit debts/loans for the sake that we can just gamble which is sometimes persistent to the others. If we are able to control our lifestyle and wants, there is no reason why others couldn't do what you are doing right now.
There is something we have to think about deeply and must have to realize what is good and what is right.
This is extremely difficult for those people who have greed within their own self.
Greedy is the besy enemy in our emotion, not only in gambling but also in much different actions.
We also need risk management in gambling because it will lead to less grediness. Like, a profit is already a profits. A loss is already a lost. We should always need to be contended.

Completely stopping will depend on how you do look out towards gambling,majority would had that main motive which on making money thats why losing either big or small doesnt matter or wouldnt be cared at all until you blown up your entire capital and thats the time you do completely stop for that day but if you do already have other funds then you would surely comeback on another day.
Well, in short. You should manage your self not to belong on that scenario, because restraining your self is just like having self-discipline. When you are saying your self "stop", you should stop and think about the possible consequences. If you can't restrain yourself then, you are probably become addicted and going to become poor. Indeed, gambling sites are now are very hard to defeat their house edge.
This is why gambling business is too profitable because of people who do have these kind of behavior towards gambling.
They know that human beings are way too greedy most of the time which makes their business feasible plus having the edge then
most of time,outcome would always in favor with the house.Come to think that gambling is just for entertainment not a source of income
which most people usually think off thats why they do end up on a mess.

I myself use the strategy to spend X amount of money for one week. I mean, I'm issuing rations to play gambling and I freely to using them with one consequence if I lose the money although I just spend them in one gambling place then I'll never try to make any deposit again.

I have to wait for the following week to play again and thus far it is really work for me. Because, I had been faced a lot of lose before and just a few times I get win so as I just thought I have to make a budget and I'm trying hard to obey it.

If you are playing alone or just by yourself against others, theres a very high chance that whatever winnings you gain, you will just spend it right away. Have someone with you when you play and this is not only to remind you that you need to stop and play another because you already spent a lot and lost, this is also to remind you to set aside a portion of your winnings to avoid spending it together with your initial funds.

Depends on game to be fair. For example if you love playing live blackjack (which a lot of people enjoy cause it's an exciting experience), then you will find it difficult to stop without spending much because a lot of tables require high minimum bet (the lowest I have seen on most casinos is 5$ but there are maybe some dedicated tables with min 2$ bet).
In dice for example, you can bet some satoshi which games game very affordable to play for anyone + you have possibility to use faucet and play for free for a while, for example Bitsler offers bitsler coins and while playing for free you have ability to win in daily bitsler coin wagering contests.
Playing with very minimal amounts is one of the reason why you cant simply stop on playing specially on online ones thats why restraining yourself completely is somewhat hard.

Playing gambling are way too fun and exciting when you're on the track of winning straight, it made me you do something unreliable which turns out to be supposed to a winning but an unfortunate loss. Restraining youself loss after loss is at some point unacceptable 'cause you want to regain yourself on the right pace. I think of three good things to somehow stop yourself losing too much money.
First thing, is that use a planner or a record in which will show you much have you lost so that you keep your record on a track and you'll have idea how much money have been lost.
Second thing, balance before you do the game, limit yourself and discipline to stop if you reach your certain quota on how much to spend.
Lastly, get yourself straight, and never ever think of how unfortunate you are on losing such money and just look forward for another day to come.

They need to understand martingale. Gambling is a game of chance and the house always has the most benefit. Even if you use auto bet with a 90% ratio, losing once will result in -10% loss.  
I think we would all agree that martingale is one of the most discussed topics here on the forum and the house edge is also one of the most talked about too, which literally everyone by now understands fully too that the martingale strategy never works and the house is always the winner at the end of the day; we must need some improvement in martingale so that we may tackle the house edge if possible.

I think everyone is aware by now that martingale is a failed strategy, so why spend so much on a game that does not have any safe strategy. I only play for fun and I never spend more than $50 on any game. This amount of money is small and can be used for entertainment purpose which is the first reason behind gambling.

It still results to be being self conscious and addition of self restrictions.
Set out a specific amount to gamble with and this budget shouldn't be spent instantly. Put it little by little.
When you lose, don't try depositing more money or keep on pushing on. Just call it a day.
It may sound as easy as said but constantly practising helps a lot.
If you are really engaged to this activities, you need to play smart and by doing this type of system it will lessen the chance of being busted completely. As you can stop once your allocated funds already being spend or if you already reached your target earnings, The importance of having
such strategy is to maintain your financial management, it will kill your greediness if you keep practicing such system.

Gambling house is always there open to let you play, if you lose today's funds quit and be back the following day and plan or adjust with your system.

If you play games of chance then you need to ask yourself if you're playing for fun or for profit.

Gambling for fun:
  • Set aside an amount of BTC that you are comfortable with losing, an amount that if lost will not impact your life. Deposit this amount into your game of choice.
  • Do not risk the entire amount on one bet. Make many small bets so that you can have fun gambling for longer. Stay alive. This is bankroll management.
  • Remember that the longer you play the more likely it is that you will lose. The odds of the game you are playing are not in your favor. Over time you will continue to lose until you have nothing. This is baked into the design of the game. Essentially you are trading BTC for entertainment.
  • If you have made a profit (you won more than you deposited) then you have beaten the odds! Withdraw when you are up. Secure your profits. You will be tempted to play more and lose it all. It's not really your BTC until it's in your wallet.
  • If you have lost your entire deposit then take a break. Give yourself time to clear your head. Don't try to win everything back suddenly. You probably won't win it back, but instead will lose twice as much. Take a minute to review your play, and to think about how you can improve your strategy to last longer.
  • Ask yourself if gambling was a fun experience. Would you rather have spent the BTC on Netflix and popcorn? Don't expect to profit from gambling long term. Expect to lose every deposit (while having fun in the process of playing a game).

When gambling for fun you need to accept that you will most likely lose everything you deposit. The difference between a losing gambler and a winning gambler long term is the winning gambler knows they have an advantage over the casino on every bet placed. They know the odds of the game, and have information that shifts the odds in their favor. They have a statistical edge. Many people fool themselves into thinking they have an edge when they do not. When making your next bet ask yourself... if I make this same bet 1000 times can I expect to profit?

Gambling for profit:
  • Know the odds of the game being played. Is the game beatable? Make positive expected value bets (bets proven to profit over time) and avoid negative expected value bets.
  • Have a clear defined edge (advantage gambling). Recognize most edges won't last forever. Constantly examine and reinvent your process.
  • Practice bankroll management religiously. Separate your gambling funds from your life funds/money you use to support yourself.
  • Log all bets. Re-examine past bets and seriously ask: how can I make more on what I'm winning at, how can I limit losses on what I'm losing at, how can I identify new opportunities.
  • Read about cognitive biases and check your emotional state before betting. Everyday people and situations can negatively affect your emotions, don't let these affect your gambling decisions. No one can block out emotions, but you can structure when you place bets to limit exposure to emotional events.
  • Use the analysis of competing hypotheses or argument mapping when making decisions. Weigh all the outcomes.
  • Don't let gambling compromise your health. Eat well, sleep well, exercise. Take time to be creative, make friends, and enjoy life.
  • Automate everything.

The best way to avoid losing all your money is to avoid being greedy and to never chase for your losses. Sometimes when we lose we always aim to either win more or to get our losses back until we don't notice that the small amount of money that is alloted for gambling now turns out to be a big lost amount. Just enjoy gambling and give your self a limit and follow that limit when gambling.

I believe that every gambler has his own reasons to gamble.  Someone is trying to earn money and it is very rarely possible to do it, while someone has a sports interest.  But there are people who experience special pleasure from gambling, while there is a high probability that in this case, gambling is practically addictive and comparable to a disease.  And if such a person experiences problems and loss of funds, then he himself will never find the strength to confront himself.

When we can't find a reason to escape in being addict, we should seek advice from people who are done it, or learn from those who are rich who became poor because of gambling. When  decide to play its either the gambling site have free rewards or free game, I have extra in my mobile wallet, since I have hardware wallet that all my holding are there. Since I'm not a type of playing too much due to limited time. I suggest being busy in other job makes us stay away from being addict in gambling or in anything. Make our self busy.

If the gambler they can't control itself that called addiction, anyway difficult to stop gambling habit even gambler know itself they spend a lot of money playing in gambling, I think nothing wrong playing gamble and lose money in every alloted from the salary for the habit fulfillment.

Definitely it's because of the greed. The best thing to do in order to prevent losing everything is limiting the amount of money you're willing to risk. Don't spene all of your balance otherwise it'll be difficult for you to recover it and it also triggers lose in your self control. By simply playing the profit you've earned from your previous game, losing won't be an issue and once it occurs then you must stop and try to play again on the next day.

You can prevent yourself from spending too much by bringing a certain amount of money, if you lose then nothing is left and you cant spend further since your money is limited.

Greed is the reason why a gambler is tempted to keep trying even he is losing his money, he want to chase the losses hoping to get it back.

Self discipline is important and dont expect to win, accept if you lose and move on.

This is one of the better ways to bring a certain amount of money, but again our greed will draw in and maybe lend (or manage money at such a time) and spend again. I'm afraid there is no right solution.
