It is true, the role of self-control in gambling is important because it is one of the things that must be mastered well so that large losses do not occur. with many gamblers experiencing big losses and other bad impacts, it is because they do not have good self-control, so gambling affects their thinking completely and makes them eventually become addicted and it is difficult to get out. Controlling yourself is certainly something that is not easy, especially if it involves profit or winning. Many people lose the victory they have obtained because they cannot control themselves when they win
thoughts about the bigger wins that can be obtained arise when they win and influence gamblers not to stop, but to continue gambling by increasing the amount of their bet, but the risk of losing cannot be lost until in the end they experience defeat with lost capital and accompanying winnings. and for those who have gambled following their greed, it is not easy to stop unless they have lost all the money they have, and only then can they stop gambling. and indeed those who can win are the real winners, because they do not waste the winnings they have obtained.
It seems to me that the most important thing in the issue we are discussing is maintaining the bankroll that we have allocated for the game. If we have a certain amount in the account for the game and we use it at our own discretion, then we must adhere to the rules for spending on the game and one bet. All this is done as a percentage. You also need to come up with a loss limit for one day, for example, no more than 2.5% - 4% per day. I came up with these numbers off the top of my head as an example, but for me they are acceptable. But the most important thing is not even knowing these rules, but observing them, because gambling tests our strength and discipline. If we show weakness, then emotions will take over us and will control and dictate to our brain what rash actions to take.
In my opinion, managing bankroll also depends on our self-control, if we can control ourselves well then everything can be done well without overdoing it. Apart from that, it is very important to be able to control your finances when you like gambling. We must be able to determine the amount of money that will be allocated to gambling, trying not to exceed the predetermined limit. Also, with money allocated to gambling, it is better to have leftover money that is really not needed for anything else, because there are gamblers who allocate a predetermined amount of money but their gambling ends in defeat and makes them use money that should not be used for For example, gambling using savings or money that was used for basic needs.
That's true, gambling tests discipline and patience in my opinion, because if they are impatient when gambling it will be bad for them in the future. as you said, by controlling yourself, of course don't let emotions arise when gambling because this will only lead us to bad actions, moreover it's not just gambling, but other things are the same, if done with an emotional state it will usually only just be bad with the results.
