Hello all,

what do you think is more effective for the longer effect to save money and not be tempted again and again

Completely blocking yourself with the Risk of starting again somewhere else

Or continue playing at the existing site but with limits that no longer hurt

I would be very interested in your opinion

The risk to continue playing somewhere else exists either way. Whether because of lock or reached limit.

If you feel you are at risk of losing control of your game, make sure you can't play anywhere else...through software or by having your money managed or the like...

If you really only want to save some money because you deposited a 20 too much in the heat of the moment, then I would try a limit
If that does not work, but then quickly takes my first sentence regarding control, etc.... 😁😉

Hello table1,

no reproach, however you contradict yourself in your contribution.
You want to save, because of which with limits gambling, so controlled play and that in connection with a gambling (addiction) problem
Where I have taken the (probable) addiction problem older contributions from you!

Saving and gambling will not work under given circumstances and
controlled gambling even less.

My advice to you,
you should be clear about what you really want!

The "why" you can possibly take from my post - and personally I take that from my years of experience of and with players

Not spending money always saves more than spending a little money.

Hey table 1,

Vll not what you want to read, but let it be best right now. You have Bock to gamble? Then gamble with play money and that's it
I can only speak for myself and have noticed relatively quickly that I can not play so controlled. Assuming I would hit the Jackpot of whatever, I would try to top it. The worst thing that could happen to me at that time was a big win. 10 k at ghost slider on 1€ . Such a thing can be just curse u blessing at the same time
No one will hang here after such a hefty win, his zockerkarriere on the nail, because he has now achieved everything 😉

i can only confirm. The worst thing is the stake. You think then that you have won a lot with 1€ and you could possibly top that with 10€ and achieve a win that can change your life but possibly. I experienced this last week at live blackjack. Since I played a 1k hand the incentive to try it with 5k is big. With 5k I can buy a lot of things I need.

playing "controlled" is very difficult and requires a lot of discipline and self-control. As we play certain emotions are triggered. For example, if you lose a lot in one night, you tend to keep depositing. This feeling is really bad.

Sure, the limits wouldn't hurt you, but each of us surely doesn't want to lose all the time and if you lose e.g. 6 months always 100€, then you tend to increase your limits and the fun starts all over again

There is no middle ground in gambling, as with any other addiction for that matter

Either you stop completely, because you tend to like this one addiction in the long run, even though you may suffer financially, or you try, as with any other addiction, another alternative that offers you a similar sense of achievement as the successes of gambling.

Also tend probably usually rather humans to play, who are not financially well set up, since these hope to win thereby a if necessary financial compensation, which makes things possible for them then such as purchases, which they cannot afford otherwise at one time.

Calculate nevertheless times even, how often wins one times 1000€ or more? Very very rarely makes a player who loses 5 years a 100€ per month -> 6000€ in 5 years, so a lot of money, if you look at it that way.

problem with playing, you win -> sense of achievement in the head and you want to have this of course in the best case again and already you have your brain after a short time programmed on: Win = Kick = sense of achievement and of course you want to have that again and again. Since it is, however, only of short duration, the longer you have been playing, you then also increase the stakes sooner or later.

Believe me, I know many players and only very few have the financial freedom to do so.

Always have a limit per month, I did not have before and that for 10 years, have since then continuously more money on the side and also no debts, but has cost me a lot of self-discipline and then teaching money, until I realized that always wins the bank and only very rarely the player, because you can not force his luck and the more often you do this, the less often you win.
