Healthy gamblers are the majority. I wonder if there's something we all have in common that keeps us on the right path and never oversteps our limits.
That thing which we have in common is discipline. Every gambler that can boast of being responsible is very determined and has enough discipline to never break the rules that they set to follow during gambling. If the person is not disciplined, then they can never be a responsible gambler. It's all a matter of personality too and how we individually handle things on our own aside from when we are gambling.
Exactly mate, discipline is actually the best way to overcome frequent losses in gambling. Because I often see where gamblers normally failed to stick to their decision and ended up making the same mistake everytime, which is very wrong.
Because without being told a gambler is supposed to know when to stop and take a break, because there is no advice that would be better than the one you give to yourself.
And following that logic no one will control you as it's always on your power to stop if you really want to. But the problem is the uncontrolled situation that leads you into addiction, most of the time, the common thing in each gambler is lacking of will to stop, instead they all wanted to push as they think trying again will let them succeed from the intention that they wanted to achieve while playing/betting.
