It is normal to feel so. Both gambling and everyday life include taking risks. The only thing you can do to prevent financial collapse is to be aware of how much you can sacrifice without changing your budgeted expenses. Financial mental trauma is bad, so when we gamble, we should always know when to stop and when to take a chance. Although it might be an addiction, it is still controllable.
If you are on addiction level already, I believe you need to seek for help because you can't totally handle that alone and going over your limit is your way to become addict. Early prevention is the key, always have your plan and your limit and be responsible. Gambling is about having the right discipline and those who are able to stop their gambling activities when it's over already are the one who usually succeed in gambling and the one who are having a real fun.

There is nothing like addicting as a habit to me like having rows of games in parlaying, I personally know that it is exhausting arranging plenty of games in a row because you will have to deal with the possibilities of the win or cut and you have to deal with the emotions of long games and the bad side of it, I repeat them frequently without counting, and it gives me a headache.
Single bets are always easy to predict and win than having multiple bets however, to have many odds, you have to play it that way to have more potential cashout, but it is killing the money I do have on my bet platform.

I guess almost everyone in the gambling industry has ever done that at least once in their gambling sessions. I've experienced it myself and done it multiple times before. Before I usually limit myself to 100$ every week however there are instances when I will be adding more to my bankroll and get past my limit. One of the triggers that I remember why I did it is because I have a gut feeling that I will be lucky or I am sure that I will be winning on my bets which sometimes turns out wrong.
Unfortunately, that is also one of the main reasons why I was able to be more responsible for my gambling activities as I've gambled more than I can and have lost consecutively. Right now, I can say that I am more in control and a responsible gambler are I am able to stick with my limit and never try to recover losses.

What I experienced before, of course, I've experienced exactly where the bet has exceeded the limit of the financial that has been determined but still continues, this is indeed unconsciously I do this over and over again even though there is an end to gambling always thinking why this happened, I just thought This is because of the ambition that wants to win but in the end it will be bad if you continue to do it.
For now a little control where the specified finance has become a limit and does not exceed it again, there is also a bet from the minset which I think will win so I will add it again but it will not happen again in the previous case.

Have you ever had an experience betting in which you knew that you were going over the limits of you finances and still continued? I have one playing a game, it was absorbing plenty of my time and despite me knowing it, I was kind of hooked on it. It was not a financial problem, but left me wondering how easy is to actually fall into a bad habit and how difficult is to break it.
Most likely majority of gamblers experienced that without noticing it.
It started when you're chasing for your losses, you tend to place higher bets every time you lose and get upset. Sometimes, when you're carried away by your winning streak, you tend to get greedy and wanting to win more.
Pretty much everyone of us who placed a bet in any gambling games have experienced that. Lucky if it isn't something that is problem for you financially, and lucky you noticed it before you get yourself into a worse situation.

You may take a risk and play aggressive betting but these are not recommended. You may win one or two times or even more but sooner of later, you will lose big money. Also if you do not take money management into account, you're always at a risk and i haven't seen anyone who is winning consistently without money management.
Sometimes we tend to take risks but then it becomes a habit, therefore I restrict myself not to risk big in any one gambling game or bet.

Its something that gamblers are looking for, the high of excitement in playing even if you have that control in gambling you can't control yourself in going to the limit of your allocation, this is actually where addiction starts and the excitement usually happens when you win a big amount and you lose then you chase it, the chase is where the rush of adrenaline happens if it happens sometimes and not many times you are gambling you are still safe.

Its normal for all gamblers to go beyond their financial limits, this is the spirit of gambling. I remembered then I was so addicted to gambling, I kept on playing and playing,I even gamble whole day to the extend of selling some of my properties to gamble. If I win big,its even the worst I will continue playing till the money finishes. I got so broke that I adjusted myself and now I just spend maximum one hour when gambling, winning or losingjTo some extent I would agree, but there are gamblers who chooses to have fun and so they have limits when they play and when it gone already they stop. But it is very different for those who are really hook up, as if they can't take the losses and wanted to come back for more. And since the odds are not in their favor, they are going to lose everything and then it become an addiction now and not something that you entertain yourself. From a simply hobby to become worst.

Gambling is really addicting and it's very hard to resist the temptation to play more when you are having a good time with it and winning some profit. I remember when I was new to dice games and was hitting winning streaks. It got me excited because it tripled my capital, I played longer than usual until I hit some lose streaks. Because of that unacceptable quick loss, I deposited more amount trying to recover atleast my initial capital but I didn't succeed with that attempt.

That's where gambling addiction enters especially when we chase over our losses. We're at risk of being tempted when we're having good winnings and I think that's a trap that we shouldn't fall for. There's a chance that we aim for higher gains but we should keep in mind that greed could possibly take everything away from us so we should always know when to stop and when to continue and not when we have already lost our funds.
The desire to get back the lost amount and win is hard to fight, however. Some are just willing to bet 90% more to win back a 10% loss. I don't see it as an addiction but as an impulsive decision which every personality differs. You may find one person who doesn't really do this sort of martingale strategy but just keep going to the casino still. One gambler may see it as time spent in a casino will be worth it if they win big amounts too.

I think all who got involved in gambling do already experienced it. Some didn't end up well while some got lucky and win after they try again for the very last time. I experienced both of these scenarios but as usual most of the times I am unlucky to recover what I have previously lost.This makes me discouraged to not ever attempt this again as it's too risky. In the end, I am still lucky that I didn't get heavily addicted and end up in a point where I took loans or sell my valuable items only to continue playing. That is what gambling all about @OP, even if you say you don't have a problem in terms of finances, you are still burning most of your time playing.
I know well, particularly my hands go out of control and keeps multiplying the bet value. At some point it reaches the maximum in my wallet. That is really a big mistake, but out of my previous losses I used to do it. This have given hands as well as made me loss big. Majority of the gamblers could've got this experience.
The majority of gamblers forget everything because they are lured in by big profits and there is also a continuous defeat factor so we also vent our lust to keep playing and hope to get big wins, but for sure the results will disappoint us and make all our money run out , if we are not good at taking care of ourselves and can't manage the budget we spend on gambling, you should never play gambling, but if you can control yourself and can manage your finances please have fun, but we also have to remember there are family who always await our return, so don't you ever waste all your money in gambling.If at that time they were able to win some money and realized that they had been lucky that far, they should have stopped and withdrawn the winnings instead of continuing to gamble.
And that's what makes the value of our bets even greater while we don't think about how much money has been used to gamble.
And when we lose self-control, defeat will start to come and take all the money we have won.

I hope that for paxmao (OP), this is a one-off thing. He has been on the forum for many years, and I understand that he has been gambling as well. If he has been able to be gambling during these years without having problems I think it is unlikely that he will become a problem gambler now.
What I would be alert if there are things in his life that have led him to be in this kind of trance, a love breakup, a death of a loved one...
If I were him would try to abstain from gambling for a short time.

This happened to me more than once when I got too overwhelmed with my gameplay and got too excited. I was aware that I already exceeded my limit but still enjoyed and continue playing. The first time I did it, I got a good profit so I repeat the same scenario on the next day and got huge losses. I think it's still important that we'll control our emotions and have self-discipline despite having so much fun in betting. Self control is very important.
I never had an experience where I forget about my gambling plan and indulge myself in spending money way more than my planned budget. I know gambling is really attractive so I always play with great care and self-control because the moment control slipped out of our hands, the next consequence is quite hard to control.
You might not have had an experience about that but I do happens to most gamblers that gamble a lots on a daily basis and if care is not taken it can cause a lots of problem that might end in addition which can be very hard to control or stopped. I once had this kind of problem before but I was able to noticed that and stopped it immediately because this had made a lots of gamblers to loss focus losing a huge sum of funds because of lack of personal control even when we have reached our daily gambling limit. It is had to stopped most time be with discipline it can be controlled.

When I was still young, I do that but now that I've grown up. I make sure that I'm always aware of my finances and the allocation that I put into gambling. I'm not getting younger and I have to enjoy but at the same time, make sure that I can pull funds out of my pocket when I want to.

When we're feeling the sensation and joy of gambling, that's how it usually goes. Jump to:
