This is known as chasing your losses and is the cause of many of gamblers losing all their bankroll because of it.
Restraint is very difficult because once you start losing just a small amount of $2 you want to try and recover this and it seems at the time to be easy enough too. But then it has a snowball effect if you then lose $5 then $10 then $25 when trying to recover your losses.
It is a crippling situation to be in and dont wish this upon anyone who runs into this which effects people mentality.

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?
That's easy just bring a friend and only allocate funds when gambling don't bring credit card your friend is the one to stop you to get a loan from loan shark, this is for offline casinos, it's a different story for online casinos because you are the one to control your funds, you can have a friend to play with you online and he'll be the one to remind you when you are losing and had the urge to add more funds.

To help restraining your losses in playing games or gambling it would be better to have range on how much you can lose on that day or give an range on the amount you want to take before you go home. This will help you to manage your money and funds on how much will you spend on that day and setting also the amount you can win on that day. But for a legit gambler it is difficult to do and as usual it is because of greed, most of the gamblers spend all of their funds in order to get back their losses and that is also the reason why they are getting too much loss so setting an range will help us to lessen this kind of greediness.

To prevent or atleast minimize it we need discipline set some limits or rules for yourself. Something like if you hit a certain amount of loss just stop playing. Yes, obviously it is a nature of human we have greed and excitement or the will to win back what you have loss, we can't avoid it completely but I guess we can minimize it.
Still discipline matters for this kind of topicWe have been in gambling for how many years and we experienced a lot of losing yet we learn nothing but to continue our old ways,why not be mature and learn from the experiences?of course Gambling is needed for us to find luck and to have fun but this must have obligation to control our desires,having enough restrictions is best to save us from continuously losing

It seldom happens because the excitement is still there, you don't have funds but your mind just want to continue, this is something that can be considered a trap, if you cannot tame it, you will just end adding more, a gambler should have a cooling period after the high emotion of losing and winning.

its difficult when your emotion is already controlling your mind, you can do a lot of things that you will regret later. That's the reality, we need to be matured when gambling so we can always make the right decision when we are in the winning or losing situation.
Yes, you do different approach with that, and you can only think clearly if you emotion will not manipulate your mind.
In gambling, there's always a game plan and its the mind that will have to initiate that.

Why is this difficult? Is it because of greed?
In gambling battles, it's up to gambling sites, my habits prefer like online gambling, ball, poker, and dice.In the dice game I am not in a hurry to deposit too much money, enough for the first and second rounds, from the first and second money, I must have a way to win.
If it also doesn't win, still loses I won't enter the next deposit, stop playing gambling.
Get enough rest, tomorrow think of a new gambling site and understand first.
Habit, that's where the peak of victory for me.
This is my experience in dice, another story with poker and soccer matches.

if you do not want to spend in one time, yeah, only carry money that can afford to lose, and certainly not greedy. because the most important thing about gambling is self-control. it's just discipline in gambling, it doesn't mean you will avoid losing. if it's hard to do, you must have someone who can control you well.
Yeah, when you lose control, then you will see your money will flow to them and you will have a difficulty to recover your money. The more you can control yourself, the more you can save your money, and you can leave the casino at any time. The discipline will be difficult to do if you don't have the power to control yourself because gambling is very tempted every people who stay in that place for a long time. We will spend more and more money without thinking that our money has a limit.

It's a habit that will not go away just like that, once gambling got hold of you and you have been playing for quite some time, you cannot just refrain yourself from playing because you have experienced the fun the profit, but if you have a strong will and you know your limitation that's the only possible way to do that.
It is hard to control, but most of the time, you need someone to accompany you that will remind you that you have done enough. Basically, deciding all by yourself will be hard in terms of gambling, most of the time we have the feeling of continuing even if we don't have that much balance, as a result, we lose everything. If we can't control ourselves, others might do so. But for me it seems impossible to have someone just to remind us about it. It is much efficient if we really do practice self control and discipline.

That is, if you get them to even allow to gamble in the first place.
Why would you even allow a female member of the family to gamble? Women are a important section of the community and they need to take care of their homes and children before thinking about playing with their luck for money. It may sound orthodox compared to the feminazi's but it iswhat is better for their lives and families.Back on topic, I think the best way to restrain from losses and more losses is to channel your hatred to make yourself stop gambling. It would work for a short period of time because soon the greed for making money will overcome the hatred and you will be playing again. But you would have saved some money in the process.

That’s why it’s advisable to bring certain money and no credit cards or anything that can give you access to your money,this is for Live casino But if you are playing online better have someone beside you either your wife or someone you trusted,let them hold all your resources and told them never to give you those for a Tim being that you are playing or after the game so you can prevent from spending another amount
I think that's one of the most effective tip anyone has given so far on this topic, lol. If you're having trouble with controlling gambling urges, bring your wife with you. Women are usually a lot more sound when it comes to spending money and also, it'll be really hard to make them spend more than what they think is enough. That is, if you get them to even allow to gamble in the first place.

@ethereumhunter this is exactly the problem of addicted gamblers. They still think they can win in the long term if they are lucky. But it doesn't work like that as it is statistically proven that they will lose money if they keep playing game because of that house edge. They need to understand this. If you give them hope that they will win if luck is on their side then that will act as fuel for them to keep risking their hard-earned money.
With this I absolutely agreed mate because the longer we play the higher the chance of losing,based on my own experience when I won in the very first hours of playing and I didn’t stop?the end is I will start losing and in just a matter of time I am zero balancedThis teaches me to be contented and start to tell myself that if I won atleast double or triple of my capital I will certainly lave the table or the site and try again the next days or weeks.
And now this gives me smaller success everytime I played,though still losing is there because no perfect gambling

the best thing a gambler can do to reduce loss is to have a discipline a wife or a trusted someone can't guarantee that they can prevent you to stop and in worst
case scenario you could end up fighting them just by doing what you told them(I experience this kind of scenario first hand and me and my friend never talked to
each other for a while). discipline is one of the most important things a gambler should have if they ever want to reduce their losses.

Not really greed in its strict sense but the desire to earn quick and easy. That may not really be greed.
I'm afraid there is no complicated technique needed. It is all about the individual's self-control. If you go to a casino and you have the tendency to gamble more than you plan, you go there with the exact amount of money needed. That is a simple way of doing risk management in case you will be too hooked up with your game that you forget or don't care anymore how much money you spend.

The most difficult thing is to fight yourself and control yourself, you are hard on yourself and consistency must be applied seriously so that when playing gambling can minimize bad habits in betting and do not let you become a gambling addict because it will bring your destruction. . .
You have to intend to play gambling just to have fun and occupy yourself with positive things so that it doesn't get swept away by gambling that makes you want to play again and that's because you feel curious that makes you want to come back again and want to try to win it and that's what I experienced .
You have said a billion dollars thing. It is most difficult for us to control our feelings, desires and emotions. In fact, majority cannot do that rather we all fail after a certain limit exceeds, which varies from individual to individual. Anyone who learns the art of controlling oneself and becomes master of his own, he becomes a master of this world too. Gambling actually pumps those desires. You have to intend to play gambling just to have fun and occupy yourself with positive things so that it doesn't get swept away by gambling that makes you want to play again and that's because you feel curious that makes you want to come back again and want to try to win it and that's what I experienced .
