I want to hear more ideas about how someone stops or controls their gambling habits. 
Only risk a percentage of your total income into gambling. Don’t risk too much and don’t rely on gambling as a source of income to use for fulfilling your daily debts to be paid. It will never satisfy your urge for all this as it is a game of luck and your debts are a continuous process that needs to be paid. Gambling for the fun of it is what have been advised mostly but if it was for that and no money involved, we will record a lower percentage of people in the gambling industry.
The best way to gamble is to gamble for the fun of it and not to make money off gambling, I know this is hard for most people but taking money away from gambling will give us great satisfaction so for sure to gamble on the safer side we need to always check the limits at which we put profits in front.
This is the best idea and approach a gambler should have towards their gambling habit but most people will only say it but can’t practice it in that manner. The most percentage of people that are into gambling are doing it for the money they can get from it and not for the fun of it which it should have been in this case to minimize the potential risk of losing more money one cannot afford to lose in gambling. Being safe is the best but the act of practicing being safe is the hardest to come over with.
