Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
First thing that comes to my mind is: you should stay away from gambling forums and not ask gamblers to help you stay away from gambling  Grin

I think its impossible to stop once you have been addicted, no mater what you do.

unless you seek for a professional help, on other words, consult a psychiatrist. kinda shameful though to consult a professional just because you are addicted into gambling Grin its not impossible at all, someone just need to be determined and willing to overcome addiction

it can be done but it cannot be an immediately action. you must learn how to adjust to it and that may takes time. you can try to reduce the urge, duration of gambling, amount  gamble etc. so in the long run, it is possible to stop the addiction but it is still depend heavily on the user.

But some people are so crazy about gambling, that once they see a game going on television they hardly have the power to resist themselves from gambling on that. I think some people trust their luck just too much.

I believe that once someone knows that they are addicted,
they can do something about it.
This is harder for people who don't realize they are addicted

I think that people that they now that they are addicted you can just bet and realize that you are not addicted.
The problem is that you can't stop is that when you need to search help from your family or friends you with the addiction.

Running example is the good way to stop gambling, because you can get addicted to it.

Just seek help to help you stop doing a lot is just difficult if you are so addicted to it.
You can stop gambling if you do other stuff that can make you addicted to it.
trading one addiction for another isnt really a solution, it really doesnt accomplish anything. the first step should to to completely stay away from gambling, and the addict should aim to cut off all addicting activities out of their life for at least some time so they dont feel tempted to fill the void with something else just as addicting.

it is all about self control. and i think it mostly depend on person's mental strength. while it is easy and common to get addicted to gambling, it is not that hard to discipline yourself to control your gambling habits.

what i do is i put aside a small amount and gamble with that small amount and i am comfortable with that amount, and losing it and do my best not to go out of what i have planed

Like any addiction.  You need to find out what triggers it.  Once you can control the trigger you should be able to control the actual problem.  As others have said, if it becomes a really serious problem then you are and probably should go and seek some help so that it doesn't ruin your life anymore.
The thing that triggered my gambling addiction is Bitcoin and I don't think that I am able to "control" the Bitcoin. But my gambling addiction are not really serious, TBH.

anything that triggers your addiction should be inside of u, u should find out and control it. not all the fault is from sth outside like btc.
any addiction should be dangerous, or it will soon, or even worse: u just haven't realised it. maybe it not really serious just when u're really really rich.

Once you've figured out that you are addicted, you can change that and find help for your addiction.

People who say that that's impossible have already given up on everything.

Addiction is not healthy for anything. I make bets because I enjoy it. If I see they hurt me I immediately stop. I think everybody can't do that. If you are desperate about gambling you should see professional help. This isn't a joke, it's a psychological problem.

It's great! Looks like you have done controlled yourself , I know it was the problem for most people / gambler.
So why you didn't share here the receipt make ourselves keep in control?

Gambling at a casino is at least entertaining. Even sports betting can be ok b/c at least you gotta wait for 4 hours. Blackjack on a bad streak can absolutely destroy you.

Yeah man in the long run you cant win so just think like that and you'll not be tempted.

Yeah gambling for money is just risky, but if you are lucky that you can win big.
But is just better to do as a entertainment is just nice.

Long run that is so true the lost money what you have played is just difficult to get it back.

There are many sources to help keep you away. Just google gambling addiction help. Many are free
thats only if the addict is willing to seek help, most of the time they wont. after all, why would they try to get away from the only thing in life they enjoy? its the same with a drug addict, unless theres some huge event that changes their life, chances are theyll keep chasing whatever it is theyre addicted to until someone else helps them to stop.
