I had a friend that smashed the wall with his right hand at every loss.
He usually stopped after breaking some bones.
it was super painfull way to avoid bigger losses, but quite effective for him.

Yes it is greed or lust that cannot be controlled and it is a carelessness when betting, and that is the main problem in gambling. But when we play with full control then at least we will not spend all the money on the same day and to stop will not be something that is difficult to do, because problems like this will be easy to avoid when we have self-control and also a good mindset.
There is one thing we need to think first, are we doing good in gambling? Cause if not, we can't easily escape from reality. We are all living with that greed but somehow we can't able to control this cause it is really influencing and mostly it dictates to our mind. The bad thing is that it results in no good at all, instead, it gives losses all the time. What makes common in gambling is that people never give concern about how much they lose but rather to seek the possible amount win. Of course, I don't want to remember my losses but rather to count my wins to give my self courage and keep gambling.

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?
Definitely that's because of greed and also trying to cut back their losses. I have also lost many a times whole of my bankroll just trying to earn few cents over a dollar and lost all the bankroll chasing that bad decision. What I try to do is I decide the amount that I am gonna risk right before starting the session and if I lose then I just go out or do something else,but never chase that loss.

So you won't to prevent spending all your money when you go out to play game of chances? Well its really simple. Just take the amount of coins you are willing to spend. That is it. If you don't have extra money with you, you won't be overspending when gambling, right?Its hard to give up because of greed. They think they can get rich real quick within a short period of time.

The fact that gambling itself is addictive thing , I feel there's no way to prevent such actions / emotions to go allin in the end instead betting with small amount only as it planned before.

Stopping yourself is very hard once you start to lose a small amount of money in your bankroll. The best way to avoid spending most of your money is to bring an amount that you can afford to lose and by doing that you will not force yourself to spend any amount that you might regret spending later.
Having a self-control is very important to someone who's having a patience problem especially in gambling and trading.
This problem with your patience always turned you out to be more aggressive when you lose amount that you can't afford to forget. Instead of quitting you will going to proceed and deposit more, making things more complicated and placing you to bankruptcy. All you need to have is good control with your attitude, don't set your mind that you are able to recover your loses if you still have money to use to continue your game.Having a self-control is very important to someone who's having a patience problem especially in gambling and trading.

I came here hoping for a good article, but instead I see it's just a low effort thread.... too bad!
Therefore... my also loweffort two cents are these... The only thing you can do to stop at low loss is unplug the internet or have someone else to it for you.

It's easy to say but difficult to apply, you are right about having discipline and self control of a person to prevent them to spend farther more but what if that person don't possess that kind of discipline?, Well i guess that's the time that a person needs a guide or someone that can give them advice, prevent them from doing such thing, simply a person that is also by their side to always remind them and guide them to a better path that will not let them be in a wrong way, i'm referring to a family because family is the one that a person's most valuable aspect and i think if a person has a strong sense of family then i think he/she will think of them before spending and wasting too much money, he/she will just spend the money to the family than wasting them in gambling or anything else.
I don’t think that I even buy that idea there of having someone that will assist one in playing when one is not sick or dead, and like you mentioned and I agree if anyone must go with this option, then the person assisting in plating has to be a family member. There can still never be anything as much as handling it by ourselves.Gambling is meant to be a game played and enjoyed privately. Carrying someone along would be risky since there are so many things that could be picked by the person. I insist and advise players to learn how to be disciplined and stay in control of their games and to stop depending on people for guidance.

It's a little difficult when we've played and there our emotions and ambitions cannot be resisted. although at first we have rules that have been made when it touches how much we have to stop, but sometimes we ourselves are carried away so that we spend all our money. I often experience this and in the end when we lose we regret it.when not playing we can make rules but when playing there our emotions can not stop
I dint think that it is ever right to involve emotions in gambling in the first instance, but sadly, we all make this mistake several times for one reason or the other and I consider this habit really disturbing because it causes us so much loses and we are never ready to learn sadly. The only people that have been able to gamble successfully without emotions are those that have been in the game for many years and I believe that they may have learnt from past experiences. Most times I promise myself I would play without emotions and the game just has a way of getting me confused and I end up repeating the same mistake.
In the very long run ... I doubt you can resist from the greedy nature that always come up in your head , human nature is set to never feel satisfied, if you can't be responsible in gambling better to stay away .
Staying away must be a perfect solution for restraining ourselves at a small losses and not to spend big money there after. But, it will not work when your greedy leads you. Only responsible gamblers do control themselves and so their greediness too. When you are having full control on your gambling activities then you may stay away from gambling or may quit after some small losses itself.

It is pretty hard though. Restraining yourself out of something that urges you to play even more feels like heavy in feelings. I do not think everyone can do that. Because it still relies on personal behavior of the individual. Not everyone has a discipline of the other gambler. Though they can be educated but they cannot be disciplined because it is still in their own end to take the action.
But not now since the time I woke up from doing such,now I can say I am changed and can handle the desire of continuous playing when my budget is getting low,that’s what made me decide to quit and stop
Everyone can claiming that with their way like 'only bring the money in fixed and put the rest of the money you have elsewhere, somewhere that you can't reach out.'
Or by thinking 'that's okay to lose this time , you can recover next time with cooler head later' or any other ways / 'techniques as you wish , but I just think such preventions way might work for one or two times only.
In the very long run ... I doubt you can resist from the greedy nature that always come up in your head , human nature is set to never feel satisfied, if you can't be responsible in gambling better to stay away .

If we have no control over these things then we are the only person will suffer from the results,yes its hard to stop bets but its not impossible to do,so keep yourself aware of things which is happening while you are betting when you feel that you are slipping from the limits you have drawn then its time to stop no matter you won or lose at that moment.yes we might lose and that's normal, but with discipline, we will not lose more than the amount that we should risk.

I think that will only happen in the beginning, but if we can realize that we must have control for ourselves, we will try to learn to control emotions and ambitions. Yes, it is difficult, and no one can do this in a short time because that will need the practice to control ourselves. Without practicing to control emotion and ambitions, we will spend all our money without stopping the game. There's a lot of things that we need to do to restain ourselves from spending the money and control yourself to prevent the big lose.

I would use the term what you can afford to lose than a small money.
Gamblers who risk a decent amount of money will get more thrill and satisfaction in gambling, so regardless of the amount they gamble as long as they can afford it, that's alright, but, discipline is very important so they will not go beyond their limit, going beyond the limit all the time or even most of the time will result to a miserable life as a gambler.
Well, it needs to set limitations, though quite natural for every gambler but not really in the position that everyone takes this seriously instead, they'll go what they have in their pocket and gamble. It is their own disposition but we'd trying to say is that we have to be looked at first what would be the possible result for this. We can't win something if we never lose and risk something also, but the most important is to know until when cause we can't just lose everything for this sake.

That is correct. But even with this seemingly effective strategy, I have known a lot of people here in my country where they will still go overboard and end up walking home or hitching a ride because there is not a penny left with them. That is very common here. They go to the gambling house or any other gambling place for that matter such as a billiard club, a cockfighting arena, or even just a friend's house where they can play cards, set aside a little amount for their fare going home, and end up losing everything down to their last piece of coin.
