Topic: Sometimes enough is enough - page 8. (Read 3140 times)

Well i think most people do set up limits for themselves when they gamble. It's just that when you're in the moment, not everyone is capable of getting a hold of themselves. Sometimes they even need help from other people to restrain them.

Better like that, we bet the amount of money we have and do not need to carry an ATM, because that will make it difficult for us to stop and maybe our money will run out. If we only bring some money, if we lose there is no choice but to go home, it's a better choice than we have to go to the ATM and spend our money.

I have heard a lot of stories like that. So many people have lost everything they had. Their money, their properties, their cars, mobiles etc everything they owned. But still most of these people still continue and cannot get any lesion from their previous lost. Even some people ruined their life. They always argued that they can win a big money if they will get another chance.

This is exactly what I do with gambling- I go out with a set amount of money and nothing else, so I can't possibly spend too much. I have good self-control besides that, and I've never gambled more than I could ever afford to lose.

The subreddits Fatanut listed are good, and I've personally browsed the latter one (r/getdisciplined), but if you're having a hard time reading the articles, there is an option to switch to old Reddit in the top right. Nobody I know likes the new interface as it's slightly more difficult to skim and read, and it's also slightly more demanding on your CPU than the old interface.

I agree.Setting up limitations for yourself when you go gambling is the best thing to do to avoid huge losses or debts at the end of the day.So if you think that you've had enough already,then don't go beyond that or else you will suffer from its consequences.

It's actually easy to do. You can just bet blindly and let the luck do the work but that's very similar to just playing in dice. The advantage of doing sports betting is that you can do the research ahead of time and be able to determine which team is better than the other. On the other hand, things are still undecided and sometimes even an obvious win can be a surprising loss. Luck still functions in sports betting.
The thing with us, humans, is that we're so good at planning but at the time that we actually have to execute our plans, that's where the problem seems to arise. In order to fix this, you're going to need to learn how to discipline yourself. I recommend checking out subreddits /r/SelfDiscipline and /r/getdisciplined. Sort it by "Top" posts and then choose "All time" so you can see the posts with the most upvotes. They are often a compilation of good articles about getting disciplined. They can also be posts where OP is merely sharing their experience about discipline. It's definitely worth checking out because it's a community. You are trying to be disciplined with other people that are helping each other out. It's said that it's easier to fight your demons if you fight it together with the help of other people fighting the same battle.

I'm pretty sure that there are posts about gambling in that subreddit as well which can totally help you control yourself when you've already reached your daily limit for your gambling habit.

Sports gambling are not easy to play just like dice or slide gambling. Here in sports gambling we not only depend on our luck but we need to have good study about the teams their player, and to make a good strategy for playing sports gambling.

Knowing your limits is a good thing, but sometimes its hard to execute specially if you are almost reaching your limits and at the same time wanted to recoup. So its really important to take control of your brain because we all know that almost all gamblers decision making are clouded when everything is not going on our way.

Right, you have to know your limits, you have to know when you will stop because you already reached your limits and can't afford to gamble for more, if you are going beyond that, then expect that things shouldn't be easy for you, you'll get debt every where because of your addiction in gambling which is clearly not going anywhere, you are just addicted, you don't think clearly anymore, all that is in your mind is you have to bet or else you'll die.

right, do not be too engrossed in playing gambling by issuing capital beyond our ability, before going to gambling you should be able to manage the finances you have to spend, if you always experience defeat do not try to add the capital you will spend because it can create emotions we are out of control and result in so much defeat

Age has nothing to do with your emotion control especially while gambling, i know some teen gamblers who are very clever when gambling as they play to win and make money not for the joy of gambling itself.
Either way , self-control is mandatory and a thing you should develop over years to keep yourself away from losing everything.

Not really a new thing because greed will always be accompanied with lust since you do have the money then you do have that affection which can attract girls along the way not only on a casino but on all sorts of place when they do know that you do have that money. We do all know how this real world works when it comes to those persons who are in need of money. Going back to the topic,you would really come to a point into a situation where gambling do put you in big trouble because you do let yourself fall into the pit of addiction without thinking back on what would be the possible things might happen ahead.

It's normal since human is greedy creature.

The different between teen gambler and mature gambler are their emotion when they loss.
Teenager often got piss when they loss meanwhile mature gambler able control their emotion since they able control their emotion rationally !

Selling the iphone was insane. The writer is lucky they didn't end up in the hole. I can't imagine myself doing this. Also, this is where I doubt the authenticity of the story.

How did the author get an uber back to the casino without an iphone?

But seriously, I view going to the casino as very expensive entertainment and that's why I wouldn't bet everything all at once like the author.

Do not ever play all your money and just set some amount on playing gambling so that you can't lose all your money. On the other hand, do not be addicted on playing gambling and just play for fun and you should controlled yourself especially your emotion. If you do not want to lose a lot of money you should start to quit now and played gambling.

In fact I can understand their feelings and thoughts, because I am also an addicted gambler. Very honestly I also lost a lot money in my life while playing gambling. For every time when I lost my money I feel guilty and decided not to play gambling again, but for every time I forget my previous lost and continue gambling.

All those fellows who are saying limiting yourself always works out, why they don’t see the results that people have shown. And if we consider it for some time, then why people have never earned a lot of money from gambling then? Along with limiting themselves in a circle, still they end up with a petty life and a miserable life style that took them to roads. You need to think over it.

It is not very easy to put a limit to yourself once you have played few bets, especially in case of winning most of them. Gambling has an addictive nature because it provides pleasure with a chance of making money without actually doing any work. Taking this game lightly can be a big mistake.We can never realize our addiction level until we try to give up on it.

Gambling can change your life in an instant, who would not want to be rich instantly right? If that is the case, why would they not gamble right? Most of the people these days wants to be rich instantly but in the reality, they can't do a thing to make themselves rich. They are hoping to win lotteries, betting their money on sports and testing their luck out on casinos in which rich people don't risk their money on luck, they risk their money on something that can give them profit and not hoping for luck.

Nice strategy, but there are persistent people who would go back home and take their bank cards and then go back to casinos. They really make me laugh as well as I feel sorry for them because they have reached a certain point of addiction, and it can never, or let's say, it is hard for them to go back to their normal life. What they really need is a strong willpower and strong determination. Without these two, they will do anything to play again.
