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?
Based on my experienced, i restrain myself just to have a small lost and not spending more money is by limiting and bringing the only amount of money that i need to spend at the casino. By that it could help myself from being greedy and continue to play gambling all night at the casino.
indeed when we are in the game we will be difficult to control emotions and of course, the best way is limit the amount, or bring money that can afford to lose, so we do not spend all the money in one game.

Still, the point here is we are still going to lose all our money even we do this, for example, you have a $100 worth of tokens or fiat if you are playing in a actual casino, everyday you are just using $25 and after you lost it you will stop and try another day, you spent 4 days in gambling and still, luck is not on your side, you lost your $100 in 4 days. What we have to do is, not to gamble what we can afford to lose in a day, instead we have to distant ourselves in gambling once we've lost couple of times already, or we will lose all the money we have in a certain amount of time needed.
That is an example when you play casino, of course, it is difficult to get luck there, while in sports betting games in 4 days I will certainly get luck, because sports betting is still predictable.

Online casino or an actual casino, they are just the same, you're going to lose most of the time because that is how it works, and about your sports betting, I'm certainly sure that your prediction on it is not always as accurate for you to win most of the rounds, I'm sure you rely on your luck making you guess random bets in sports betting, correct me if I'm wrong.

Lucky for you if it is really true that you have your luck in your side whenever you need it.
Online casinos are almost the same as real casinos, because both the casinos have got their own house edge which assures of a certain percentage as profit to the house even when there is more number of gamblers experiencing winning streak. With sports betting upon the knowledge one has got, it is easy to make predictions and win. Even with sports betting unpredictable results come out of the game if we're unlucky as said in the above quote.

All of these suggestions are good but I think the only real way to prevent yourself from using funds you cannot and should not use is to have a trusted friend or family member monitor your wallet and income. I know it sounds stupid but me and my friends we sort of monitor each other, of course not to the point we control the money since none of us are gambling.

But if you have addiction. Ask your wife or husband or boyfriend to hold all your money. Trust me,,, this is the only way.
i can feel your point mate because we i have this before with my wife when i become addicted and it really help

but not all person can handle this because at some point we had a big arguing when doing this and almost come to the extent that we are ending for separation but good it didnt come.

so better to try this but if not functioning then stop before you turn from friends to enemy.

It will be a good practices if you will just have a limit on how much you will lose and there is also a limit on winning on how much you can win and if you already get the limitations on both winning and lossing then you may called it in a day in which if you lose then go back again tomorrow because maybe this is not your time yet, or if you win a huge amount of money then you can stop it also and go back again tomorrow because maybe if you still continue you may suffer losses.

If a person lose his money at first try so it means thae he need to take break and think about to recover lose but keep one thing in mind this try should only be to recover your lose not to become greedy player who want to make money only. As much as possible gamblers should enjoy gambling than putting stress of winning on their mind and lose the remaining money as well so just control before its too late.

if you loss on first try then why try again on the second try ? if not then try again on the third try  . if you still not hit it , that is the time to take a break to unwind but not to think about your losses   .  its hard to not get greedy while you are trying to get back what you loss  . if your unlucky  , you will end up lossing more . 

Some people are doing the "second" and "third" try with double risk in order to quickly break even, that's catastrophic and it'll make it harder to stop later on.

This is like committing suicide because they would definitely have not recovered with first loss and playing more with double money means much risk now of losing the higher money and also coming back on road if they have lost huge money already in gambling.

Self control is hard to obtain so the best thing to do in order to prevent from getting losses is to just not gamble at all Cheesy.
Its the best solution really but sometimes we are tempted to play especially if we dont have other activities to enjoy with. Gambling is exciting plus the fact that you can earn money while enjoying the game makes us keep playing. But this is not the case if you're addicted or dont have self control, greed is the first reason why you keep playing its either to chase your losses or the eagerness to win.

Identify your priority. You should never spoiled yourself in buying stuffs which you don't need though you want it. Instead, you should pay attention on your needs such as food, bills, and etc. As long as possible, try not to browse to different merchandise werher it's offline or online thus you won't be tempted to buy stuffs which is not necessary and worth it to be bought by yourself.

No matter what kind of tools they use to avoid greedy after winning, it wont work for such addicted gamblers. The only way to avoid greedy is self-control but of course it is almost impossible for addicted gamblers as they wont be addicted to gambling if they have good self-control lol.
Self control is hard to obtain so the best thing to do in order to prevent from getting losses is to just not gamble at all Cheesy.

If a gambler is winning, they can't prevent themselves from becoming greedy because their adrenaline is increasing and they become more greedy and want to win more money. Because of this, most of the gamblers end up losing all of their money instead of going home with some profits.

Gambling is not a kind of chasing money nor a sort of source of income. It is a game that someone looking themselves to entertain while alone.

If you're passionate about gambling, if you're lucky and wise enough, then it is a possible source of money for you. You should not gamble when you're alone, and it will urge you to spend more money while you're sad. It is not easy to control your emotions when something is bothering you while losing a certain amount of money.

If you're alone, find someone who will support you in gambling, even your friends. Gambling helps you to have a lot of friends, and it will enhance your social skills.

There's nothing difficult if you apply in your self how self-discipline works and know your limit on how much you are going to spend in gambling.

Not all people in this world are the same; maybe some of them have a tough time trying to control their temper or emotions. Not everyone can do self-discipline, as long as you enlighten them on what self-discipline is. In that case, you can now limit yourself to spending a minimum amount of money.

Mostly I redeposited my winnings and then bust it. I solve this by creating a paper wallet and just withdraw a part of the winnings to that. By doing that I can't easily redeposit and just keep the winnings.
Sounds like a working idea. Previously I have heard people are blocking gambling sites to prevent themselves from gambling. I read some ISP/modem setting are also being used for blocking gambling sites. When we gamble under parental or any family member guidelines, we may easily stop after some times of gambling, regardless of we make losses or profits.

Well it works great. Last week I won in total 0.5 with playing dice and i deposited everytime i won something like 0.05 to that wallet and now its still safe in there. If I withdrawed that to a normal wallet, it was gone by now
You really did well that winning and saving in your wallet saved your profit as if you would become greedy and spend your earning you just lost all your income in useless activities. But you won and got the safe profit that's your good luck and wise planning, so we all should spend a small amount and before spending just stay in limit otherwise you will lose all your savings in greed.

Got to admit his cleverness. Most of the gamblers develop the habit of playing this game more because of winnings. They start believing that this can bring them some money regularly. But that is not true even a bit. Gambling is a harmful game if played without limits. The loss also increases if the asset are digital ones. As the value of crypto coins keep on changing, the gone coin is equal to gone investment.

I can advise every gambler to make a paper wallet and wd anytime a part of the winnings to it.

A wallet where you can lock funds for a X time should also be great but don't know if that exists.

It’s good if there is such kind of wallet present but I guess there isn’t. I think time deposit can also help because you can’t get the money before it’s maturity date so if a gambler won big time might as well try doing a time deposit.

Addicted gamblers wont lock their own funds into a paper wallet, even if they do it then they will always have other coins on other wallet to gamble. No matter what kind of tools they use to avoid greedy after winning, it wont work for such addicted gamblers. The only way to avoid greedy is self-control but of course it is almost impossible for addicted gamblers as they wont be addicted to gambling if they have good self-control lol.


Same thing I thought also.
For most addicted gamblers, it's easier said than done. If they can willingly get a loan to gamble or use their feeding money to gamble then then getting a paper wallet is nothing less
Though only a few or even lesser will set their mind to it and actually stick to it.

But the matter is more mundane than you make it look, and therefore requires a more practical and earthly approach (read, something actually working). The thing is, you don't necessarily need to have the strongest mindset to avoid chasing losses. All you need is a proper perspective and attitude. In simple words, as long as you play for fun and personal amusement, you won't be inclined to chase losses

This is the part where it is all get magical (tricky) let's say you are just playing gambling just for fun and personal amusement with a proper perspective and attitude, like what you have said, but once you win, let's say a jackpot (assuming), that's gonna rock your world up, and you will not notice that you don't gamble anymore for fun, and the proper perspective and attitude you've got will be all gone just because of money

Yes, that's where greed will most certainly kick in

In other words, something unexpected happens (as otherwise you wouldn't be playing for personal enjoyment only), and that instantly kicks you out from the cozy environment you set up for yourself. But that's not something which you can't notice (as it is going to "rock your world up"). And since you do notice the inescapable change in your attitude, you can't remain in that frame anymore, so your only option is to stop gambling and run (without looking back)
Every gambler is highly aware of the unpredictable nature of gambling besides its evil nature and bad connotation. There is no one who can totally ignore greed while gambling. Those who don’t face big losses are the ones who manage their greed very well and do not let it day dream about massive profits. Even if gamblers are playing for entertainment, still they would not mind winning some good money

No one minds winning free money

And still more so for winning big money (like hitting a jackpot or whatever). But it is one thing to be aware of this possibility and a completely different one to actually go for it. In the latter case, you are no longer playing for fun, i.e. getting pleasure from the process of playing itself. Instead, you are now trying to achieve something, to reach a certain goal (like a big win or a jackpot). This is the beginning of your fall, which may well end in developing a strong gambling addiction when you eventually start losing

If you lose more money, it is hard to stop until you still have money in my experience. The best thing to do when you are gambling is that get a small amount of money already so that you can't gamble anymore if you lose your money on that day

If you can stick to your guns, so to speak, no matter what, that is, to avoid falling into the trap of greed described above, you should be ok

Gambling is a magical and enchanted to those who dare to enter its realm, I mean, even you have the strongest mindset that you will not chase your losses, you'll find yourself chasing it and doing whatever it takes to win it back (mostly impossible) or it will take a lot of money to lose before you could "take" back what you have lost from it. Addiction is a choice that you've bitten with a clouded mind, and wake up on the blinding light of it

Yeah, I definitely like your poetic phrase
