If self control doesn't work, money control will be impressive. I agree with you. I often can't control myself when gambling, so I set a budget and control it. Another strategy is time control. Determining in advance how much time you will gamble can reduce the amount of money you lose. This also often doesn't work this method if you have enough money in your wallet. Self control and money control are the best methods.
I used to apply the time control thing a lot before, but for me it doesn't apply much, because in a short period of time a person can lose control with large bets and still lose , the Idea is to not lose Everything or not lose so much, so in this sense what I Established was the money thing, so time didn't matter to me, I could last as long as I wanted, I would always have control, and best of all, the Emotions will always be there on the surface, and with the peace of mind that you have peace, that there is Nothing to fear Regarding the Financial.
