You can gamble free coin andthis will make ur habbit becomes lighten with each day

lol, that will be the start of depositing more funds to gamble and eventually lead to addiction. i would not recommend this advice. i personally experienced starting with free coins (casino faucet) but i feel bored betting with satoshis so i decided to deposit, fortunately i can manage myself not to become greedy.

Well this is really hard to stay away from gambling unless you decide from inner part of your heart.It is more addictive than drugs,I will suggest to take some therapy sessions by some expert this may help to get rid of this for good.

loool. Its impossible... once you get addicted to gambling it is like drugs. it becomes pretty difficult to leave it for good!

It looks impossible friend but if you have pure dedication then you are able to left gambling also. Sometimes when you got profit from gambling then you always wants more and then you lost everything. Always remember you are able to enjoy only on your hard earned money not by gambling.

Someone said he will study.. i dont think 80% people will opt for study to avoid gambling.
gambling is like a competition. people get addicted to competition.. and when there is money involved more addiction...

IMO e-sports can be equally addictive.. games like CSGO DOTA2 LOL ... where people can become really competative.. its better than gambling

Keep your coins in something out of your hand, for example a paper wallet in some secure place or in a bank etc... therefore you won't have access to it even if you want. That is a decent method IMO.

To avoid gambling, you can try to lock your funds, if this doesnt work, then try some of these :

1) playig some physical games
2) avoid using PC
3) Start to think as if u have no money , it helps trust me.

well try not to use PC is very difficult cause it is available everywhere but try to limit the content u can use ur computer, like u block to access certain sites, and u cant transfer fund etc.

At the end of the day what really works is to just stop. There is nothing more to it, just enough motivation to stop. How are you going to try using the PC less if you can't stop gambling? You are not going to solve a problem by creating another.

I guess to find Real Job in your life. Also Do something do you think is good.

Hmm, my father has a job yet he's what we can call as a problematic gambler. Idk but when you know that you have something to spend and you expect to get it, it somehow forces you to gamble (not saying all, but that is how I see it.) Yes, you can do other things that you can focus to, but in the long run if you can't resist gambling, it will crush you in the end.
Actually it depends on the person if want to change. Back to your self and remember again if that's very bad for your life wasting money with something who can make your money lost in a short time

Best way to stay away is to keep yourself busy in life
Plan out your weekends and your free time before hand and stick to it.

Still that is just difficult for people to stop gambling, because is just addicted. I think he should just seek for help from people like family or friends to just help you with it. Being busy like doing sport I think that will be the best choice.

i often try to study in free time and avoid gambling, helps resist for a long time too.

I dont think studying is the best remedy against gambling... gambling is fun,whilst studying is not
potentially losing everything you own and throwing your life into ruin isnt exactly fun either. if studying can keep someone away from gambling, great for them, they have something that can keep them away from a harmful habit. if fun is all youre after, just go throw everything you own at the casino, then say its fun again.

yes and studies will get you a job, while gambling can take a job of yours , so always I prefer to study hard when I think gambling is too much now.

it depends on each person. the world is full of nerds find fun in studying.
knowledge is the most worthy treasure in the world. among things like Holy Grail, Shangri La,..., the most wanted is the place contains every knowledge in the world.
with knowledge, one can help ppl, can save the world. helping ppl is fun, saving the world is goddamn fun, for some ppl.
and knowledge must be archived through studying.
i'm a nerd and find fun in studying, too, because i believe knowledge is a really handy thing.
studying things like English, btc,... brings me here.
and goods teachers can spellcast studying become fun.

The best method IMO is holding all your BTC in an offline wallet (preferably paper) and lock it in a vault in a bank or a far place IMO, you won't be able to get to it easily and if you play with the money your earn in bitcents it won't be good but not as bad as playing all your bitcoins.

That sounds like a good idea to do if you are truly addicted. I think that once you know you are addicted and are wanting to stay away from it, that's already a huge step in realization.
You should seek out help for this addiction if you do want to stay away.

what i like to do is just throw your spare btc into a fresh wallet and store the private key somewhere, then pretend you lost it in gambling, and a couple months later open up the wallet and suprise yourself to some btc.

Don't open the wallet unless you plan to sell/spend the coins.
Otherwise you could still end up gambling them away.  Smiley
yeah I quite agree with your ideas, do not open the wallet, unless you want to sell coins to an urgent need, or perhaps do not open thread gambling and gambling sites, sometimes I feel jealous to person who win gambling, then I follow it
