Topic: Limited escrow service for building self discipline. - page 4. (Read 574 times)

i dont think he is looking for the escrow on this forum but he is refering to the on site escrow inside the gambling site that he is playing with  . most escrows here are not even into gambling  and i feel its a hassel to hire an escrow here while you play on a different platform   . why cant you just have that all in one place  . this is risky imo because they can ran away with our money   .  i dont need it because i can just gave away my winnings to my wife which is more trustable and also works fine because he can control me  if i cant control my self

This just shows that you have good self control and that you are not addicted to gambling. I'm in the similar situation so I don't need someone who will tell me how much I can spend.
Unfortunately, some gamblers have serious issues with that and can't recgonize the signs that they might be in financial troubles because of excesive gambling. In that situation escrow agent might help.

Personally, I don't have an escrow agent to help me to manage the money that I used to gamble because so far, I can handle myself without any problem. I can stop playing gambling whenever I want because I know that in gambling, the emotion will take part, including greediness, because of winning the games. But maybe that can help other members who need help from the escrow agent or members who use too big money to gamble. Make sure you can select the recommended escrow agent to handle your money.

This is the list of escrows you can trust here in the forum: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-bitcointalks-escrow-providers-ranking-blacklist-avoid-scam-276897

Well, that's supposed to be a good concept knowingly what other gambler's reason for losing was relating to bankroll but that depends as well on the behavior of the gambler towards gambling. How about not using an escrow here but a challenge for yourself that you have to manage your bankroll, a self bankroll management? I think that will greatly enhance your self-discipline behavior towards gambling because you're not using here some middlemen.

some sites you can set limits

stake.com
mbet

and few more

I have thought of an interesting concept which can help you out to control your gambling losses and most importantly to secure your winnings in a more sensible manner.
As poker player (with decent tournament record), crypto trader and occasional dice and slot gambler for almost 5 years I can assure you that single most important thing which can help you out in the long run is bankroll management. Although BRM is a combination of different skills but keeping your calm during loses by quitting for sometime is most important skill to master as it gives you time to reflect upon what you are doing wrong which led you to become more mature player.
It is easy to loose your mind and play outside of your bank roll in the heat of the moment. To prevent this up to some extent I propose a limited gambling escrow fund held by prestigious members of this wonderful forum.
How this will work ?
So suppose you have won a big tourney in poker or concluded a big profit trade, or accidentally (I use this word knowingly) won jackpot in slots/dice. Now what you need to do is to transfer your majority of winnings to the escrow immediately (and keep your self your normal playing bankroll). Now the escrow will have to release a certain amount of fund from your deposit to you on weekly or monthly bases. This will help you to remain under your bank roll greatly because after you loose your normal bankroll you have to wait for your next payment which will take some days. By doing this you have more time to introspect which is always good.   
I urge learned members of this wonderful forum to ponder upon this and give some suggestions to improve this.
