Gamble only what you can afford to lose. that’s the key to avoiding unnecessary (High) risk.

Losing more than you can handle comes with serious consequences, especially gambling addiction, and once you reach that point, it’s hard to get out. That’s why prevention is important. Have discipline and don’t be greedy as that way, you can still enjoy gambling, even when you lose.

That notwithstanding, if anyone is finding it difficult to control it's gambling habits and you've realized that gambling is affecting you negatively,I think it's high time to advice and encourage yourself to retrace yourself backwards.You could do away with setting strict restrictions on yourself but if managing and minimizing the risks involved is becoming hectic,then consider a long term break as a gambler.

Gambling is not a means of survival, those who don't listen will always fall into the trap. Gambling has both negative and positive results, either to pick one or the other side happens. A person can also seek help elsewhere, some mental treats are not self-administered, i'm not calling a therapist as it may not be up to that level, at least there are people to help talk you out and also personal decision matters during the process of taking a different part from addiction.

Personally, I don't believe that those gamblers who are always gambling despite consecutive their losses, are not chasing their losses because if they win back their losses, they wouldn't stop gambling forever. Instead, they'll start thinking of winning big, which becomes a trap to gamblers in order for them to continue playing irrespective of their losses. A gambler that wouldn't let go of his losses, is gambling for profit.

The great tragedy for a gambler is, "He wins once, loses again and again!" And these one or two wins are a trap to ruin their lives. A gambler must be very practical. He must have a lot of common sense and be careful around him. And he cannot be tempted by greed. Greed is the main reason for the destruction of a gambler. So a gambler must be very practical.

We call that early traps from casino to gambler, most especially on in house games, the casino allow the players to win a few games and then after hit them with the heavy stroke, winning a small amount at first time is Sweet and a tempting start to continue gambling, but for wise gamblers, what is needed at that point is to lower your wagering amount in a bit to secure your longer playing time, so even when you lose a few vet along the line the impact of your finances won't be that much, and if the casino hand you out some winning you take them with good faith and in the end it's a win win so long as you walk away with something regardless of how small it may be.

That's what a casino does, you just can't beat them in gambling, it is always their world over yours and very difficult to hedge over them, let every gambler maintain absolute preparedness for every deposit they complete, if profited in the game time then see it as luck based instead of owning the casino.
