Learning from Losses – How Do You Set a Smart Daily Betting Limit

Back when I started gambling, I lost a lot—both online and in person. It took me a while to accept that you can’t always win, but at least you can control your losses with responsible gambling.

Now I’m trying to set a daily betting limit, but I’m not sure what’s realistic. I don’t want to be too strict and kill the fun, but I also don’t want to lose control again. How do you decide how much to bet per day? Any practical strategies to make sure I stick to my limit?
 
I keep my betting budget simple—whatever I’d spend on a night out, that’s my daily limit. If I’d drop $50 on drinks, then that’s all I allow myself for gambling. No exceptions
 
I used to think like that, but then I'd lose my daily limit and feel tempted to reload. Now I do a weekly limit instead—if I hit it by Wednesday, I stop until Monday. It keeps me from chasing losses
 
That’s smart. I go by percentage of my bankroll—never more than 2-3% a day. Helps avoid reckless bets. You guys ever use deposit limits on apps?

Nah, I just cash out my winnings ASAP. If the money’s in my bank and not the app, I’m not tempted to throw it on some dumb late-night bet
 
Yep, withdrawal is key. If it stays in the betting account, it’s not winnings, it’s just future losses waiting to happen
