A good idea for this is to make your bitcoins need a multi signature approval in order to move funds, so you could put a key far from you in another residence or something, so you would become lazy to gamble since you would need to travel to another place to get the other key in order to move your funds. Of course this requires will in the first place and if you had any will you would just not gamble in the first place.

To stay away from gambling just don't visit the gambling sites if you aren't addicted gambler
But if you are addicted gambler, try to minimize your daily bets there to minimize your losing risks as well

It's not easy to stay away from gambling. Maybe focus on other things, go outside and have fun playing sports atleast you forget a little.
This is probably the most effective way to stay away from gambling. But you should have do these activities with your family or friends.
A new interest or hobby for yourself might help too. Either way, choose the best method that you think is more comfortable for you.

Yup that is more way right you should focus your self in other activities and rather getting with friends that is bad influence for you get along with your family they are the ones that you should trust most and getting a hobbie will be great so nice suggesting

hold on, hold on, no need to say bad thing about friend that soon. sth family is indeed the bad influence, but again, no need to mention that here. plus, the suggestion for chosing the best method has already been spoken, that's enough.

Stuff that distract you from gambling: Kids, family & friends, hobbies including gaming (at least you'll be addicted to that rather than addicted to losing your money)
And there's also some lockout forms you can fill in some casinos, like moneypot and nitrogensports for example, to act as an unremovable restriction.

Personally for me, I switched to gaming after I lost a sh!t ton from dicing, however, occasionally I wager small bets on some sporting events for fun.

I think your not suggesting how to stay away from gambling and rather keep them from playing other gambling stuffs,

And rather gambling on dice for me sports betting are safer and even if you bet that day it will just be ocassionally and not an everyday gambling.

Why do people have to find new addictions instead of just quitting one? Seriously all your advice is shit, you don't tell someone addicted to something to get addicted to something else that is supposedly less harmful.

That is just what I am saying and why are you so mad about it? Where in the gambling section right? And suggesting something about gambling is still good in this part of the forum, and I think your the one that are not needed here for advising something to quit, it is on natures way a person to be addictive because we are sinful beings he is the one who will decide if he's gonna quit or not!

While my guitar gently weeps!!!
Give your wallet to your wife or son or whoever close to you then ask for a daily allowance just enough for your daily expenses and a little extra. This way you won't be able to gamble, keep it up for a week or 2 to get a hang of it and spend more time with the family or sports. Get the wallet back and see if you still want to gamble after a 2-week break. If you do, repeat but this time for a longer period.


Good idea bro...I sometimes left my laptop to my wife were some of my coins are, and everytime i want to gamble, she always tell me that "No, you can't I am using the laptop, can't you see?. try to gamble using the computer." that way, I always gamble using the coins from the faucet, lucky that sometimes I could win from that...playing guitar also helps me not to touch the laptop...  Wink

The problem with distractions is that it takes just a second for you to gamble, and you may end up losing quite a bit.
It is important to restrict the access to money which can be used in gambling.
access to money is urgently needed. if we have a lot of money it will not be a problem when we play gambling. the problem is, whether the money will last long?

that's just it. it really doesn't matter how much money you have if you have a gambling problem. you will keep betting and betting until you run out of money and then borrow more money to bet some more. in the end you lose everything and are deep in debt which you can not pay.

Which is why you have to keep a separate wallet for gambling. You have got to stop when that runs out. Strictly no excess gambling and definitely no gambling on borrowed funds.

Well if you can't control your gambling addiction what you can do instead is find another addiction that is less life threatening like being a smoker or addicted to video games.

with your case, i suggest u focus on gambling to stay away from smoking and games addict, seriously. u can get rid of gambling later.
yeah I think looking for ways to become addicted to another, instead will add to the problem, I agree, it is better focused by avoiding gambling, without adding any other problems

There is no way money cant be a problem in gambling. Money is the reason why people keep on gambling it, and I am sure it will be everyone problem although you have a lot of it but in gambling there is no guarantee you will win it back because gambling is depends on your luck, without luck your money will be gone too

That is true, any additions are not easy to give up and for that self control is very important to come out from these habits. The best way is to spend more out side with friends and family instead using your computer and try to keep your self busy with some other outdoor activities than mostly can come out from this addiction.

Lol but you will lose all your money if you will be addicted in gambling its better to be addicted in games than to be addicted in smoking and gambling
Smoking it can reduce your long life gambling cause it can lose your money 90%. So its better to be addicted in any games or MMOrpg  online games Like dota2 and league of legends...

being addicted to computer games may lead to gambling, i remember when i was on high school, i am addicted to DoTA. every dismissal time i always go to an internet cafe and play DoTA with my classmates and due to addiction, we came to a point that we used to bet with it. we are the players on the game and we are also the bettors Grin thus, moderation should be applied.
