We always encourage everyone to be responsible gamblers and we have shared tips to help. Unfortunately, many still end up addicted to gambling. Why is that? Because gambling is full of temptations which it makes it hard for some gamblers to control themselves, especially those who have big financial needs because they believe that gambling is the solution.

Sadly, instead of finding a solution, they often end up with losses. Why? Because gambling was never meant for that. We can win huge in gambling, but that doesn’t mean we will win every day.

Self control can help you manage your gambling budget, and that will make you stop at the right time when you are gambling. If you don't have self control and discipline, you will always fall into the trap of chasing your losses. Greed can come up, but when you see it that you have reached your gambling limit, you need self control to overcome that greed in you in order for you to stop gambling at the right time.

Very true!
Because if/when you check very well, you’ll notice that the major problems that gamblers often face during gambling is always as a result of their inability to control their emotions and also their inability or failure to adequately manage their finances, because if a gambler is able to have control over these two, there’ll be no need to be greedy when gambling, because as we already know that greed is the major factor that contributes to gambling disorder and greed is an emotional problem, and when a gambler knows how to manage his finances, he’ll know how much to put in to gambling and he’ll definitely know when he hits his limits and he definitely wouldn’t push further.

Hmm what do you mean by having the right strategy then the game will not harm us in the sense that we will never lose and continue to win? if so I think it will never make sense because in any type of game even if you have an effective strategy it will still never guarantee victory, but maybe that's not what you mean. And also yes in the context of responsibility in gambling as far as I know responsibility is the ability where a gambler does not experience any problems mentally and psychologically especially when it turns out that the game he bet on ends in defeat, so I never thought that by being responsible we will win more often, because responsibility is the ability that leads to preventive measures to minimize unwanted possibilities.

Yes indeed, the emotions inside you is the one that will lead you to every disaster that you may decide each time you play, like what you mentioned it' easy to say that you have certain amount of budget but in real time you need to face the things that may influence you to change up your minds while playing, gambling is addictive most of the time if you are not capable you ends up losing everything.

Not unless you are good in controlling your emotions that's very important factor when you are involve into it.


Exactly, as long as you know how to protect yourself on both side, financially and mentally you have that preventions to get addicted and just to stay on how you just treat it as entertainment for fun.

Having healthy strategies like yours will definitely get you to the point where the game will actually get nothing on you so it's not even negotiable that you don't get affected because you have created that stance for responsibility in your gambling habit and that should be the point most gamblers should mostly strive at because they get to benefit more if they are able to stay responsible gambling both in their money management and their habit management which keeps them discipline as it regards when and how to gamble.

I use some of the reasons you mentioned, and I have some personal strategies that I have used to win at gambling and increase my knowledge power. Because I always think that I have to stay away from gambling addiction, but I can win more especially in sports betting. Although in some cases my research goes against me where I face danger and location, I do not bother to recover that money.
 I move on to the next bet, I divide my money into small parts to keep myself calm. I enter the game with as much money as I can afford to lose, if I lose money my balance is exhausted and I immediately exit the game. And I retire I retire three days a week and spend the rest of the days gambling.

Yes i do agree into this sentiment on which this will really be the best approach when it comes into this manner because when we do play gambling then it all matters about money on which we would really be that totally lying if gambling doesnt really spark out our interest when it comes on making money and thats why losing control will really be that likely to happen and this is something which is really that important that you do able to assess yourself whether you are still good when it comes to money management. It isnt really that bad to gamble as long you are really that in good control because on the moment that you do beyond your spending, then this is where issues do really comes in and you would be ending up on having some financial problems due on excessive gambling.

Regrets do always come at the end and if you wont be that careful then you will be just that basically be ending up on having some issues when it comes to money because this will really be the primary target on which it will slowly be that destroying it out on the moment or time that you will be finding yourself having some issues when it comes on controlling it. Be responsible into your actions and you wont be having problems even if you do play gambling. It all matters about self control and discipline into this aspect because if you wont then you will be ending up on having that huge issues or bad conditions that you will be experiencing.

Truly it is. If a gambler knows when to stop then I think he is in control of his habit. It is actually not just for gambling but it's for everything in our life. But since we are just talking about gambling here, then I think anyone who is still in a clear mind whenever they lose and stop to take his rest is a responsible gambler. That's the set limit, there's no point in trying again afterward. You could play again the next day so that you might enjoy it and maybe at that time, you have also forgotten about the loss yesterday. Plus, it's a good way to have a clear mind so we won't be too aggressive in betting. Those who chase losses most of the time will press that turbo mode because they want their money back so badly and they also want to receive it quickly which I think is the wrong thing to do.

1. Set your Limits

I would say that this would really be the most important thing that you would really be needing up to consider on which you should really be setting up yourself with limits.
Why? Anything that you do then it will really be that up to you whether you should stop or go and everything will really be that basing up into your own choice on which this is something that needs up to assess at least whether you will really be having some issues or having some problems into this regard. We do know that when it comes into this aspect then it isnt really just that on gambling but also in other things as well on which you would really be needing to set up limits because everything is too much is really that bad.

Of course because control is something that leads to the goal of prevention and its meaning is almost the same as limitation but what distinguishes it is probably only the form or method, basically what I believe is that gambling is an activity that only allows for long-term entertainment, it does not mean that you will not win at all but the casino's advantage will always prevent you from continuing to be able to win, meaning that there are no consistent results in gambling regardless of whether it wins or loses, the results will always be random. On the other hand, I think gambling can only be enjoyed by someone who from the start has really understood and knows about what and how gambling really is because in any case, knowledge and understanding will always regulate our every action in the direction that is in accordance with the limits.

In short, if we as players see the game as a service and as a way to do things right to avoid spending a lot of money and above all to avoid falling into possible Addictions , in this style things are like that, I personally am a person who will always want the best and since I like the best, that's why I protect myself, until now my Strategy of only Spending what I am willing to lose and only seeing the game as a business where I bet little and in the long Term , then I no longer have problems with knowing that the game will Affect me.

Having.a.limit with your gambling activity is the same as the self control you know how to value the money you've earned and have a priorities in life. Gambling is a form of entertainment if you see it as a fun only and just to get satisfied you don't need to worry to stop for a while and call for a day. Not all the time players gonna win the game sometimes they just trying out their luck until where it brings them yes others wins the game but not all the time people have the same outcome. You can enjoy more gambling if you know to yourself you have the money to bet and by cutting losses you can play again in the other day without over spending.

Setting our limits for ourselves is important as gamblers. It makes us more responsible. It's just that some possibilities can mess up everything we've done.
Like at first gamblers do bet for fun. But after a few wins that he got quite easily, the gambler's thinking changed slightly to make money from gambling. A simple mistake that many gamblers may experience.

I think 1 and 3 are good for any gamblers to practice. Even with just these two, they can become responsible gamblers for sure. Of course, if you get used to limiting the amount of money you gamble with, you will be able to control your losses in the end.

Then it is also better to always think that we are only playing for entertainment, it is also better that we do not think that we will get income from it,
because it is even better to have a profit here that we do not expect to win from our gambling.

Greed is the major challenge that gamblers cannot overcome and that's why you see them gambling excessively because they want more profits and wll not be satisfied with little wins or give up on their losses. If we can forget about the risk in gambling, that's when we become vulnerable to gambling and addiction can come in.

It is very true that when a gambler starts looking at gambling as a means of earning money, that gambler will slowly start sinking into gambling addiction. However, in the present era, almost every gambler sees gambling as a means of income rather than entertainment. But they will say in their faces that, they only do gambling as entertainment, but in reality they all want win in gambling and earn money.
And because of this attitude, that they completely sink into gambling addiction, they think that the lost money may come back someday, but in reality it never comes, rather as a result they face even bigger losses. And as a result in end up, they will completely financially destitute and mentally deteriorated (after losing everything).

We can have different ways and strategies on how to become a responsible gambler. But there is one thing that we should remember- don’t treat gambling as a way to make money.

If our mindset is different, no matter how many advices we hear, that won't change our insights. In fact, most gamblers who become addicted fall into this trap because they overthink that through gambling they become rich. They assume that all the money they lose will eventually come back doubled or tripled, but that is not how it works.

Having gambling budget is good but can we follow up the budget? That is always a big question for gamblers. Though many can follow up but not all the gamblers can follow up their budget. Like example, you have exhausted your budget of the week or the day and a sure game came out and you still have a little change in your wallet and it is foe another thing but your friends have given your a game that you might win or lose again and it is tag as sure game. Can we let go of the game or the match? That is where discipline and responsible gambling comes to play and not bowing down to pressure of sure games. If you set a limit of the week or day and you finish those funds of the day then you have to steer clear from gambling while while waiting for refill of the account. Emotional attached is the major killer of gambling lose. I will win the next is the caused of numerous losses.

Being responsible is something that really tough when you are already been dominated by greed, though you can work on it beforehand, if you can set your limits in terms of the amount that you are willing to let go, not to exceed with your budget or just let go when you lose the amount that you think you can afford.


Indeed, we need to have that and set that to avoid or prevent any excess, if we are still on our budget then we can keep things positively even most of the times we are losing but if we are not exceeding then we are just treating those amount as payment for our entertainment.
