Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
I agree with this, if we do not determine in advance a certain limit for gambling, we can easily get caught up in the game without control. Better yet, you should stick to a certain amount of money for each order, not increasing or decreasing whether you lose or win.
Setting a budget is a must that gamblers need to prepare before starting to gamble. They must stick to this amount of money and stay within it because that could cause them to experience even more losses. By allocating a certain amount of money for gambling, they should not exceed the limit because they already know the amount of money they bring for gambling. But if they don't have self-control, there is a possibility that they will want to deposit even more money so that the limits they have set will be useless. Using such limits, they can hope not to exceed the amount of money and enjoy the gambling game.
It is very easy to say this, but it is still quite difficult to be able to practice it and apply it to the gambling activities that we often do. and what is clear is that this is quite important and crucial, because this can help us manage risk in gambling.
I really agree with what you said, having limits and setting a budget when gambling is an important step so that our financial balance is maintained and also in preventing the risk of excessive losses that could occur in gambling. Apart from having to have limits and setting a budget, it seems we also need to set winning limits, namely by determining a fairly realistic profit target and after achieving it, consider taking a break from gambling activities and enjoying the winnings. Furthermore, don't forget to limit the time we spend gambling, because this can help us avoid addiction and ensure that the gambling activities we do do not interfere with other activities that are much more important than just gambling.
And even though we have previously set a limit on the budget we spend on gambling, when we don't have enough budget for gambling, it would be better for us to take a break from this activity until our finances return to normal, rather than having to take out a loan or use other important financial sources for gambling. Never act stupidly by spending all the money we have to be able to gamble.
