No one enjoys talking about their losses. As much as possible they would want to only show or boast their winnings.So it is a lot harder to admit to someone just how much they have lost due to shame and embarrassment. It is typical for someone to hide how much they have spent especially if this affects their life. I assume that it would be a lot harder to admit to your wife that you just spent and lost the money you should have used for your monthly rent.

I guess the closest person you could confide into is a friend that would not judge you but would be able to keep you in track.
Being alone probably removes a gambler from the reality. They are not aware of their surroundings anymore and they do not realize how gambling addiction has affected their life.

Four points of good attitude but it seems for the first point Set Your Limits and also the second point Avoid Chasing Your Losses are the most often violated and forgotten by most gamblers because when gambler has set capital and experiences loss until all his money is gone will think about re-depositing money and chasing the lost in order to get back the lost capital, actions like this will always be side by side to continue to be done by most gamblers out there.
Maybe we ourselves will be able to apply all responsible attitudes with various anticipations that exist but other people may not be able to do it.

Gambling can really affect on relationship especially if you spend to much on it and your partner sees that you can't even make a return from it, wherein you're more on cash in or top up on the platform. Lol
Actually i have friend of mine and now he's playing in secret to prevent argument with his partner and the funny part is that he use me as a sender  through his account and pay cash to me so that he still can play without evidence. Coz if he use his digital wallet for sure he will be caught again. 

Setting limits is key whether it’s about money or time, there should always be boundaries because they help keep things in perspective. We shouldn’t just set limits on how much we’re willing to lose, we should also set limits on how much is enough to win. Many people don’t think about this, sometimes we aim to win half of our bankroll. That can be difficult to achieve and before we know it, our budget gradually runs out, leading us to start chasing losses. That’s why, from the very beginning, we should already practice setting limits.

I think the only way gamblers can be able to set their limits is to first understand that gambling is unpredictable,  if their is no understanding to know gambling is unpredicted it will be very difficult to set limit in gambling. Understanding in gambling helps in applying rules that can help one to be able to manage gambling limit and principles to that can help one to be responsible gambler.  If gamblers are able to understand the uncertainty in gambling how it can be unpredictable it will be very easy to be able to be a responsible gambler.  Understanding makes everything easy in gambling.

One of the things I have considered to be a good practice for gamblers who want to be responsible is to talk about one's losses with someone of confidence, like a friend or a family member, not to keep losses as a secret.
I think one sharing those experiences with someone could mean one has some kind of "thermometer" to whether know one is falling into gambling addiction, they other person who cares about one would talk to us about how things would be spiraling out of control and the fact we have lost as much as we had, prompting us onto changing our behavior and adjusting our budget to minimize the negative impact of our sessions.

It is easier to fall into addiction if one gamblers alone and in an isolated way.

I guess it's just right that we're reminded of this every now and then.

But all this could be summarized into self control or self discipline, although it also presupposes that one knows and understands what gambling really is. If one is aware that gambling isn't a way to make money, that it can't be treated as a source of income, and one has self control or discipline, he/she automatically understands that he/she shouldn't go too deep into it, that he/she shouldn't overspend in it.

We have tons of responsible gambling threads and other correlated thing such as this.

Answering up this topic then the most important thing here is:
1. Set your Limits

If you do have that limitation then there's no way that you would really be that getting addicted into it. You will really be definitely be avoiding up potential issues because of that too much playing gambling. Setting out limits doesnt really talks about on gambling but on almost everything that you are tending to get involved into. We do know that on the moment that you do make up excessive steps towards something then we do know that anything which is too much is really that bad. If you dont have such control then you will be ending up on having issues. On the moment that you do gamble and no limits in terms of spending money then that brings up that huge issue later on.

Regrets do always come at the end but people doesnt really mind that much when its not still happening but on the moment that it do happens then this is where it will really be starting for them to mind off that they have done something wrong on which its already too late. On the time that you will be dealing up with gambling then expect that loses will really be always that next in the line. Acceptance and move on when you do lose and call it a day.

1. Set your Limits

It is very important for you as a gambler to set a limited time for yourself, you need to know when to stop and when to start, some set of people gamble from morning till evening which is very bad, one needs to set his limited time.
One also needs to set a budget and stick to it, for example one can say for today I'm only using $50 or $100 to gamble as soon as that your budget is exhausted you stop for the day it prevents you from spending too much

2. Avoid Chasing your Losses

This one is very important, avoid trying to win back the money you have lost, if you want to recover all the money you have lost you will keep losing and that will lead you to depression, so forget about your lose and move forward it will help you to relax with an open mind.

3. Gamble for Entertainment, Not Income.

I know everyone that is into gambling has one reason for joining gambling and that is to make money however do it as a form of entertaining your self, just like people that dance, musicians and footballers they do it to entertain there self and others and still make money out of it so use that Same ideology don't rely on gambling to solve your financial issues.

4. Avoid alcohol, drugs and emotion.

In other to succeed when it comes to gambling you need to avoid alcohol, drugs and emotions when trying to predict a game because these things can impair judgement.

Finally you need to ask yourself some questions frequently:
A. Is gambling affecting my relationships, work, or finances?
B. I'm I spending more money or time than I planned?
C. I'm I gambling to escape problems or stress?
D. I'm I enjoying gambling.
This question should run through our minds frequently because it will help us know what we are really doing and keep us in check.
