I could remember way back when I was always gambling without luck and run at loss almost every time that I gamble. This will make me say to myself I will quit gambling, but after a while, I will think of gambling and I will try to hold myself back, which happens. But my mind will keep telling me to gamble, and after somedays I will gamble again. Same thing will happen and I will repeat the same words again. This happened to me over and over again, but look at me now I am still gambling and having fun with it. Have this ever happened to you that you said you will quit gambling but didn't.
Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.

I have quite a similar situation. Many times I have said to myself, that I will stop playing crash with 1.01-1.05 odds. Because the possible amount won isnt worth risking. Many times I have managed to turn $1 into $3-5, and say to myself that it is time to stop. But I keep busting and 1.00 Sometimes it is hard to believe, that among 1.00-9999 crashes, I see 1.00 crash so often. Even though loosing a dollar isnt much and I dont feel very disappointed, but many times I saw how easy it is to double that bet, and how often I lose it and tell myself to never risk so stupidly anymore.

- Of course, that happens to me too, because I also often lose when playing gambling, although I always only put a small amount into the casino, so it doesn't hurt me that much to lose either.
But of course, sometimes it's also inevitable that I hope to hit the jackpot like other gamblers who get lucky. Even if we say that the main bottom line is just for fun, it still doesn't go away from our minds that we hope to be lucky in gambling.

Hoping to hit the jackpot someday is what all gamblers are always hoping for and this is why it is always impossible for a gambler who is gambling responsible to just quit gambling finally without a good reason. This is what I always have in mind too, especially when someone close to me wins big, I feel that my own winning day will also come. As long as you are gambling with a little amount of money, then even if you don't quit, it is still fine. But quit gambling if it is affecting you negatively.

Find a program. G.A can help you go in a room filled with people that have gambling problems they are trying to stop and stay stopped.
It can help to go to some meetings.

In fact, this has never happened in my life. I took up gambling as a form of entertainment when I could quit gambling. I never thought I would participate in gambling after taking a break from gambling. Thinking like this sounds like a gambling addict. Gambling should be mainly for entertainment Gambling should never start with making money. But correct yourself or you are going to become a gambling addict. And once you become addicted to gambling, you will destroy yourself completely.

Once you are addicted to gambling, it is difficult to quit. But if there is a will, there is a way. You can take help of a psychologist/doctor and with an expert guidance you will gradually be able to quit.

Yes and that would lead to lack of self control then addiction would take place. If any gambler really wants to stop gambling then he has to control himself though will not just go like that but the determination must be there to quit gambling. Those who have been gambling addict and left gambling do not like to go back again because they know how they suffer before leaving the gambling habit. And as for me I am a gambler but not chronic gambler and I am not addicted to gambling. But to quit from gambling is just a determination.
-
All I can say here is that despite loosing, you were probably gambling responsibly and didn't go out of your budget, if you are that type that doesn't listen to gambling management, you will probably go broke and nobody will even advice you to quit, you will stop and delete anything that has to do with gambling forever.
Gambling isn't something you and then stop. It's not something you even quit when you win even though you have made some losses and made everything back. Just gamble responsibly and you will enjoy gambling on the long run because the more you play, the more expert you become with different style and logics to win.

Gambling should be fun and in such a way that you spend money to the extent that it does not present a problem in your everyday life. Anything more than that is a problem that should not be ignored because it will only get bigger.
Regarding decisions in life, I would say that there are people who have a strong will and attitude, and when they say something, they do it - unlike those others who talk a lot and promise, but in the end everything remains just an empty story. It's not just about gambling, quitting smoking or drinking alcohol is also a big challenge, but it's not something that's unachievable.

I have 12 steps to first floor from kitchen in second floor.
so I am still discovering just how many steps / flights of stairs I can do.
I WENT to doctor to check the operation healing so doctor was happy. But he saw me early so I decided to do one set at lunch vs 2 one at breakfast one at dinner.
SINCE I did just one set I did 240 steps up and down which is 20 flights of stairs up and down. IT is real cardio work. I COULD do more steps than 240 I am now past 8 minutes time. WANT TO ADD to steps and time.
I decided to try to do 1 set a day and get to 15-20 minutes
I did 276 steps or 23 flights of stairs today in 9 minutes and 2 seconds.
After dinner I will do relaxed cycle time with rubber band curls.
I work upper body and allow my legs a stretch exercise.
The dual stair workout was not allowing me recovery time
Along with walking on the beach with my wife of 37 plus years.
and posting here and on bitcointalk making coin as I type :)

There are always going to be hardships especially when it comes to quitting something that you have always been doing consistently. The repeated attempts to quit and the big cycle of life that you have where you are stuck in that continuous loop.
I believe having meditation and acceptance that you have an addiction would result in having a good result in the quest that you have to quit.
You have to exert so much effort.

Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
This is why gambling industry is really that profitable due to this very common human being behavior on which they would really be just that keeps on coming coming back on the moment that they would really be able to experience a single win. Just like on what said that you would really be having those thoughts that you would really be quitting but on the moment that you do hit up a single win then you would really be just simply goes back into your original phase and would really be starting to gambling again and this one keeps on until you would be losing all the money
you do have or simply cant be able to play just because you dont have the funds on doing so.

Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
At the point of losing, there is always clarity, People understand better the risk they are taking if they continue to loose money to gambling, so there is always the thought that they need to quit. This thought will be more pronounced when they are in a serious financial situation. These thoughts are easily forgotten as soon as money comes because you made them under a position of duress or not out of pure conviction of the need to quit. This is why you always return to gambling even after you promise you are going to quit the last time you lose.
-
Promises are meant to be broken especially in gambling, when you've started to gamble there's a lot of emotion coming in and we want to always feel these emotions one of which is the feeling of joy when we are being rewarded and a feeling of being challenged when we've loss, so it's not easy to overcome gambling when it got hold of you because you feel alive and you want to feel these emotions over and over again.
This is the dopamine effect.
Dopamine is known as the “feel-good” hormone. It gives you a sense of pleasure. It also gives you the motivation to do something when you’re feeling pleasure.

you don't always return to gamble. If you end up believing you can't possibly win it is easier to quit.

Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
- Even if you have said that you will quit gambling and until now you have stayed the same, maybe you are not really determined to quit; your persistence is not really 100% that you want to quit. Because if you really want to quit something, no matter how hard it is, you can leave it and let it go.
This is about "quit" because we also know that there are things that, when we want to let go of or stop something that we have become accustomed to, are not really that easy to stop because it has become a routine of our personality behavior, as if it has really become a part of our life.

You dont really mean it
You arent sure about it
You arent serious about it
If you do tend to quit then this is something that would really be needing up that control for you to have that kind of discipline on which this is something that cant really be
controlled by anyone. You would really be that making yourself having that realization at the same time having the eagerness or seirousness on quitting
gambling because if you dont mind that much then you are really just that good in words but not in action.

Promises are meant to be broken especially in gambling, when you've started to gamble...
Lolz!! Exactly. And mostly when he has won 2-3 consecutive times then that promise would be broken and continues gambling begins. Many people have said that but the number of gamblers increase daily. And one thing that make people or gamblers to say that they would stop gambling is when they have loss a lot but along the line of they won again like 2 to 3 times then he would not stop again. It is easy to say but hard to stop.
-
Lossing a game is not what every gambler envisage but rather, they want to win it all. Sometimes it happens that one would have that feelings or say that they want to quit gambling but for the fact that they still have that urge to gamble, they still would go back to gambling. In some cases, addicted gamblers find it difficult to quit likewise a non addicted gambler too whom wishes to quit would definitely find it difficult to do so. All it takes is determination and sincerity to do so. Anyone who says they want to quit and they stop and still continue again is not really ready to do so.

This is more or less with me and drinking. I go long time periods and then have a quality glass of stock or vodka or tequila. Then go a long period of time and repeat.
Sometimes a month sometime 2 months without any. It is not a big issue and never really was.
I was raised in a family that had occasional drinkers not daily or weekly maybe monthly which is more or less what I do.

If a gambler wants to quit gambling because he is losing, I think that gamble will change his mind if he wins at least we can see that he only needs motivation to continue gambling, so that it will not as if he is just throwing away his money without feeling any wins. But if an addicted gambler wants to quit gambling, he needs self determination and encouragement to enable him quit.

The determination or encouragement must come from oneself if the addict wants to stop their gambling activities, because someone who is addicted will find it difficult to stop because it can be said that their brain has formed the wrong thought pattern from the start. So it's not an easy thing for them to do.
Support or encouragement from other people or family will also play a big role in this. Because apart from having to change their mindset, they also have to get moral support that comes from outside.

Gambling is not something one can just quit immediately, it's a gradual process, it takes time and with help of God for someone to quit gambling, especially if you are losing all your money, you might continue to gamble just for you to recover your money back likewise when you win, you will want to win more to replace the one's you have lost so far and this can lead to addiction which can cause some damages in your life, that is it can affect you mentally and physically which can lead to depression etc and there is no way one can be losing or winning and you want to just quit gambling, it's never easy that way, that is why it's very difficult for some to quit gambling even when they want to quit. That is the perfect example of " The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak".

Yeah , what is important now mate is that we are more on our health than just our vices and besides time of having them are enough , its not just a short time and small money that we spend in having them in our life that its more better if we use for our family and for bette living.

Addiction is the same across anything a person can't do without. A smoker who is addicted to weed will tell you how fustraded their life has became and they are trying so hard to quit the addiction they couldn't and they just don't know what brings them back to the same habit and that can be related to gamblers with addiction too, it's not easy to quit addiction.
If anyone us having gambling addiction and want to quit, they get a job and pays well and also takes much of their time, their mind will be in the work because money is involved and wouldn't think of another thing because they are limited with time.

I believed that for someone who is interested in quitting gambling will not make announcements over it before taking the necessary actions, we all know that it's not an easy task to quit gambling and we have to remain focused on what we are determined for, also, people believed that the more they make it open to the public their intentions towards quitting gambling the more it becomes more difficult for them because they can get advise on not to quit and many gamblers keep on bringing their various opinions regarding quitting.

You're right.
The decision of Quitting gambling is something that occurs within a person, you wont need to announce aboutvyour intentions to quit gambling.
Sometimes, quitting gambling could be easier than you think, you just have discover how and where a person usually gambles and then think of ways to disrupt it, for example, if you feel you're overspending your money on gambling or you're gradually developing a gambling problem, there are ways one could start tackling the issue.
If you discover you're more of an offline gambler, you could try moving out of that area to somewhere there are no casinos around you, you'll gradually start losing interest when you'll need to travel miles before you can access a casini to gamble.

On the moment that you had found yourself on getting addicted with gambling via already that too active on playing on everyday then quitting would really be that so hard to be done.
Your mind would be telling you that you should be stopping already but once your emotions are already that taking up the control then it would really be that so hard to do even
if it sounds that very basic. This is why tons of people do really mess up their lives just because of the wrong decisions that they've been doing.
If you cant be able to control up yourself the expect that there would be disasters.

If you discover you're more of an offline gambler, you could try moving out of that area to somewhere there are no casinos around you, you'll gradually start losing interest when you'll need to travel miles before you can access a casini to gamble.
If you announced it, that is when you won't even quit the gambling again because his instinct will not quit gambling but his mouth as quit gambling and leaving gambling must come from the mind and not the pronouncement. Many people have said such pronouncement in my area many times yet they are continually doing it. So I don't believe them again. But those who really and genuinely like to quit those act, they left or quit from them without anyone knowing and the new change of action shows from the person behavior.

I believed that for someone who is interested in quitting gambling will not make announcements over it before taking the necessary actions, we all know that it's not an easy task to quit gambling and we have to remain focused on what we are determined for, also, people believed that the more they make it open to the public their intentions towards quitting gambling the more it becomes more difficult for them because they can get advise on not to quit and many gamblers keep on bringing their various opinions regarding quitting.
You have a valid point here. You see, there are some certain things better done than said. Sometimes it is better one exercise self comportment and keeping some certain things to themselves than saying it because the moment they say whatever they have in mind doing, there is always some form of discouragement they would encounter and that would lead them to having double thought over what they already have concluded to act upon. Sometimes it leads to confusion and when that happens the person would likely not quit that which they have already made up their mind to quit.
The best thing to do if you already made up your mind to quit gambling is to stick to your quit plans. If you already see a counsellor to help you scale through, then you can communicate with your counsellor all through the process so as to guide you through your decision as that would be the best way to control such otherwise you just keep it to yourself and discipline yourself all through the process.

It does not always work this way. A problem shared is a problem half solved. In some cases, to quit gambling a gambler have to share his challenges with someone to be able to overcome his addiction. Self help may not be effective at all times and so we need the help of a third party to cope with the challenges that comes with problem gambling.
A third party can be a counselor, a close friend or family member can help a person who desires to quit gambling through constant monitoring of the gambler and advise to ensure that such a gambler doesn't go back to gambling. Sometimes a gambler need that push from a third party to be able to quit gambling.

I could remember way back when I was always gambling without luck and run at loss almost every time that I gamble. This will make me say to myself I will quit gambling, but after a while, I will think of gambling and I will try to hold myself back, which happens. But my mind will keep telling me to gamble, and after somedays I will gamble again. Same thing will happen and I will repeat the same words again. This happened to me over and over again, but look at me now I am still gambling and having fun with it. Have this ever happened to you that you said you will quit gambling but didn't.
Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
I have also realized this. When I was repeatedly losing, I would come up with a plan to quit gambling. But after sometimes gambling again and this happened before and now. I think it is an emotional site of people which is not very easy to control. I don't depend on gambling money but still I gamble because I enjoy gambling. Since we are human beings, we have feelings and emotions at work, which lead to making such emotional decisions.

There is nothing wrong in gambling. Gambling becomes a problem when a gambler gamble above limitation. This is where the problem lies but then this has nothing to do with gambling but rather the individual. There are a lot of people who find happiness and pleasure gambling. Such persons will not worry about quitting since they find peace in gambling.
Those gamblers who keep trying to recoup their loses are the gamblers who struggle to quit because they have wrong perception towards gambling and so their mindset of getting rich makes them keep chasing lose even when it is clear to them that gambling is creating problems in their lives. At this point, such gambler will find it so difficult trying to quit. To him, he rather chase lose than to quit.

Sometimes I even ask if it's possible to quit gambling...
Because I don't think it's that possible, would've been better to never get involved than getting involved and wanting to quit.
It's a lot more easier to switch from irresponsible gambling to gambling responsibly or quitting gambling addiction than saying you'll never gamble again when you're already an active gambler.
You can restrict yourself from gambling for some time but you'll always have opportunities to gamble and you'll utilize them.
-
I think this happened to almost all of us gamblers no doubt about that but I had already diverted myself from it and I can control it now compared to the past. Quitting is not that easy if you used to gambling for quite a while because we are going to have an urge for it everytime we have free time and since I realize it has nothing good in return I transition myself into some profitable or productive activities same as when I was addicted to games I solved it already using the same technique. But I am doing that slowly.

Yes, there are some gamblers who really enjoy gambling. Even if they lose, they don't hate gambling. They may not accept gambling the way others accept it. Gambling can sometimes seem boring to those who only seek profit from gambling. They may consider to leave from gambling. But even if some people want to take a break from gambling for a while, it is not possible for everyone. And those who enjoy gambling never talk and they don't try to refrain form gambling.

Sometimes I even ask if it's possible to quit gambling...
My brother frankly speaking it is not easy. I have given this analysis before. Gambling is just like a drunker and a chronic smoker. It is not easy for those to leave those habits because they or most of them are doing it because of frustration or what happened to them then for gambling those who are addicted it is hard for for them to leave gambling and mostly when they are winning some times. They are always motivated to gamble. Gambling is hard to stop. Though it is possible but it is hard.

Any forms of addiction is really that bad and its something that you would really be needing to have that good control or moderation because if not then you would really be that messing up your life with. The difference of having in comparison between gambling and alcohol/cigarrette is that it is really that mainly affecting someones body whereas the other would really be totally affecting finances. No matter which way you would be going then you wouldnt really be able to skip out the possibility that you would really be put up on a tough situation and
if you dont like for it to happen then you do know on what you should really gonna do.

Because everything depends on losing here, this is not a normal game where you lose nothing if you lose. In gambling a lot depends on winning and losing, if you lose here you lose money, and I think if you cross the loss limit it is better not to break from there.
And those who can't take a break from here despite losing too much, their lives become miserable and they are always burdened with debt. So I think it is good if a gambler wants to quit gambling because of his losing.

The is that it's easy to speak than to take action. In a case like this it's good to take an action than to speak with our mouth, without any action being made we are waisting out time (100% time wasted). Gamble is a thing that attracts gamblers and it's not easy for anyone to stop it as long as the person have had some encounters with gamble and he knows the odds by trying his or her luck. The ways that gamble attracts a gambler is by its odds, ones a gambler have seen an odd that he has stake on before and win, he will want to try it again if he can be able to win like other days.

Have this ever happened to you that you said you will quit gambling but didn't.
Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
It happened to me already, but unlike others, I can control myself hence, I can gamble whenever I want to, and stop whenever I need to. I'm not the type of gambler where I will gamble if I want to get entertained. I can just quit anytime I wanted to. It's just that, whenever I watch sports, I sometimes want to bet just to add some excitement.
Quitting in gambling especially if you are spending a lot of time on it is very hard. Add also the fact that you want to recover your lost money as well, and this might lead to addiction. Quitting in gambling is harder the more time and money you spent on it. It's a human nature that people want to quit gambling whenever they are losing on it, but still, there are some who can't do it for various reasons.

Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
well i guess the reason is because back then you havent fully understand the system of gambling and you where literally gambling inorder for you to hit the jackpot not for the fun. but now you are doing it mainly for the fun part. so you wont be taken any irrelevant risk. but sometime is good for one to know when to stop or quite. so that they wont endup ruin their lives.

Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
Thinking of quitting after a loss is a normal thing for us gamblers, can relate to this scenario. But it is good to know that you still gamble and have fun as I rarely find individuals having fun gambling.
When you are addicted in gambling, you always find a way to gamble even if you are losing so we can say that quitting is easier said than done.

I don't think anyone can dispute how hard it might be to stop gambling entirely. Anything worth doing is hard, always will be that way. If you can stop yourself from the temptation, make sure you have yourself a strong support system and never look back.

I agree with you. It is very difficult to quit gambling. In fact, the best way to gamble is to prevent getting addicted because it is only when a gambler gets addicted that he will seek means to quit gambling and that is a point where it is believed that his life is ruined. Thus, there should be a blueprint for a gambler to follow to guide against problem gambling because it is easier to prevent problem gambling than it is trying to stop it.

Best thing is to get a girlfriend who hates to risk anything. She will never let a guy gamble a dime and the guy will listen if he wants some bedroom action from her.

Haha! That won't change a guy because the guy would make his gambling a secret. I remember when my girlfriend caught me smoking and threatened to leave the relationship. I begged and promised never to smoke again. But did I stop? No. I became so smart that till date she doesn't know I still smoke. The best thing is for the gambler to understand that it is for his good to apply moderation because intrinsic motivation always outweigh extrinsic motivation.

Either your woman has no nose or you're silly for thinking she doesn't know. I was a smoker for 20+ years and didn't pay attention to the smell, then I had heart issues and was forced to stop smoking, now I can smell a smoker from 10 feet away. Terrible smell.

I would sound a caveat here before making my point. I know that this is a platform where people share opinions and please don't call me silly again for making my point with all due respect. Thank you.
But then, I don't agree with you. It depends on how you make yourself look. Some smokers don't smoke in a public place. There are people who smoke that you don't know they do because of how decent they appear and good perfume they wear. I always make sure I fresh up after smoking, brush and then take my mentol to get a fresh breast. If after all this, you still know then you have a very good breathe.

I have also realized this. When I was repeatedly losing, I would come up with a plan to quit gambling. But after sometimes gambling again and this happened before and now. I think it is an emotional site of people which is not very easy to control. I don't depend on gambling money but still I gamble because I enjoy gambling. Since we are human beings, we have feelings and emotions at work, which lead to making such emotional decisions.
To avoid these kinds of things it's always good to have the discipline to say no at the right time, for example when I play, if I have 100usd, I only want to bet 10usd, and if I start playing and lose those 10usd very quickly, I have the discipline not to bet more money, that is to say even if I feel like I'm going to win a lot of money I'm going to say no, because at the end of the day if I keep betting the safest thing is that I will lose, that is a probability that never fails, therefore when I'm looking for a way to do things better I can have that kind of discipline, now if I win, then I don't hesitate to withdraw, it's better to have money in hand than to leave it somewhere.

Hahaha, this reminds me of a smoker friend I have, he'd always fight with his girlfriend over his smoking habit and he'd always promise to stop each time they fought, but he kept on smoking, and everytime he smoked, his girlfriend would always know about it, sometimes she'd keep shut and pretend she didn't notice the smell, probably to avoid a fight or maybe she's not just in the mood to fight same thing over and over again, and maybe whenever she can't take it anymore, she'd let all hell loose and they'll fight over it.
Each time his girlfriend notices and decides to ignore it or pretend she didn't, my friend thinks it's because he was because of his smartness, until the day his girlfriend told him she knew every single time he smoked but chose to keep quiet sometimes and only let out her rage when she couldn't take it anymore. Then he figured out he wasn't so smart after all.

Hahaha, this reminds me of a smoker friend I have, he'd always fight with his girlfriend over his smoking habit and he'd always promise to stop each time they fought, but he kept on smoking, and everytime he smoked,
Smoking and gambling may be equally difficult to stop.
My father is a heavy smoker. Finally he completely stopped snoring for 1 year when he suffered a partial stroke. But after going through all that and returning to health and being able to walk normally, he returned to his cigarettes, every day, even worse.
And what he said was:
I've recovered. There's nothing wrong with smoking.
even though he knows the risks, he still does it under the pretense that it will be fine.
Maybe this is the same as gambling, knowing what the risks are, but still believing that everything will be fine and even better when you get the jackpot.
And for anyone who can stop gambling from addiction, or can manage and manage gambling well, really appreciate them all.

People who are addicted to drugs or smoking cannot get rid of that addiction by his wish. I have seen a relative of mine who was a heavy smoker continue to smoke despite being told to stop smoking. But when he was diagnosed with a fatal disease, he left. Gamblers often see a pattern where they continue their gambling until they lose their bankroll. No matter how good advice we give them from outside they don't pay attention until they lose everything.

Well, they have to lose something first before they really realize it. For example, in the case of the heavy smokers you mentioned, they only stopped after they found out what their health condition was like.
This would be the same with gambling addicts, they might also stop when they have lost everything in their life, and maybe this is a hard thing to say, but one example is maybe they will be abandoned by their family.

Yeah, it's natural; it happens to every gambler, and this is because of the failures he faces again and again. Gambling is not easy; sometimes you can win through luck and sometimes with experience and knowledge. Let's say if someone can cheat in the offline casino, you have to understand that thing so that you can protect yourself from further losses. But in an online casino where the chances of cheating are very minimal, in that case, your knowledge and luck can lead to profits. So, in my view, I think both things are necessary.

One thing I've come to understand about addiction is that, until it has destroyed something huge in the life of the victim, no matter how much the victim tries to quit, it'll almost be impossible.
Just like you said about your relatives who didn't quit smoking until he figured out he was sick due to the effect and impact of the smokes he's been inhaling, I'm pretty sure a lot of people a lot of people may have tried to talk him out of it all to no avail.
Again, asides losing everything in one's bankroll, there are more fatal effects that gambling addictions can cause to its victim, we've seen several things online and even in our day to day lives on just how deadly gambling addiction can be to people

Yeah, it's natural; it happens to every gambler, and this is because of the failures he faces again and again. Gambling is not easy; sometimes you can win through luck and sometimes with experience and knowledge. Let's say if someone can cheat in the offline casino, you have to understand that thing so that you can protect yourself from further losses. But in an online casino where the chances of cheating are very minimal, in that case, your knowledge and luck can lead to profits. So, in my view, I think both things are necessary.
Gambling is one kinds of addiction. Entire in gambling is easy but it is very difficult to exist from here. People involving in gambling and losing his fund he couldn’t exist from here even people losing again and again.
We all know gambling is very risky and mainly it defend on luck. And losing rate is big then wining. But who involved in gambling he couldn’t exist here easily. And i am also agree that quite gambling... Easy said than done.

I could remember way back when I was always gambling without luck and run at loss almost every time that I gamble. This will make me say to myself I will quit gambling, but after a while, I will think of gambling and I will try to hold myself back, which happens. But my mind will keep telling me to gamble, and after somedays I will gamble again. Same thing will happen and I will repeat the same words again. This happened to me over and over again, but look at me now I am still gambling and having fun with it. Have this ever happened to you that you said you will quit gambling but didn't.

Yes, it is very difficult. If I ask the question whether a person can easily give up gambling after winning a game but the answer will be "no". Because a person who wins at gambling will always try to increase his winning ratio by gambling more. That means he will continue to gamble even if he wins. Again if we ask a question that it is easy to quit gambling after losing in gambling? it is also not possible for everyone because gamblers will continue to gamble to recover their loss. Considering these facts quitting gambling is not easy.

Considering these facts quitting gambling is not easy.
I also cannot advise anyone to quit gambling after winning because it is nearly impossible. As a gambler, whether you win or lose, be responsible. Gamble with a sum you can afford to lose. If you gamble uncontrollably and then win, you will gamble uncontrollably and lose the money quickly; however, if a gambler gambles controllably and wins, there is a good chance that such a gambler will continue to gamble controllably regardless of the outcome. As a result, the gambler's discipline and self-control are more important than the amount of money he wins.

I had a period when I just started playing and I had no idea how to make money on it and make big winnings, I thought there was only a button that brings money))))) But with time I discovered betting on sports, where you can at least predict the result and earn a lot, especially on platforms like Fairspin, where you get bonuses to start with. But in general, you need to develop your strategy for the game and reduce the level of excitement

Gambling should not be treated as a form of like a source of income and no should because we might be disappointed when luck turns against us. Sportsbetting is for me a better choice compared to casino slot games. Honestly, I think I have never experienced winning huge amount of money yet in gambling ever since I started gambling up until now so it's not a good source of money for me.

That's right, you shouldn't make gambling a source of income because this is different from work. Something that makes money is identical to the work we do, while gambling is a game that requires us to spend money first.
Some people who end up addicted are those who initially used gambling as a source of income. How can a game based on luck be a source of income? can't do it at all.

On the moment that you do make yourself having this kind of approach then sooner or later you would really be wrecking up yourself on having that huge effect
when it comes into your finances on which we know that gambling could really make someone do sleep on the streets specially if you do lose your control when it comes to spending.
This is why it would really be that important that you should really be knowing yourself about the actions that you are taking. The thing that you should avoid
is to get addicted with it, because on the moment that you do find yourself get addicted, then getting out would be almost impossible or simply its very hard.

Absolutely, gambling is not a good source of income, but it is difficult to persuade people that gambling should not be considered a source of income when it is obvious that when you make a good prediction, you are paid the potential winnings right away. Even those who openly advise that gambling should not be considered a source of income are secretly gambling in order to make money.
Sometimes I reasoned that Drake who is already made keeps gambling not for fun but to make more money which he stated obviously. This indicates that the majority of those who gamble indirectly see it as a way to supplement their income.
Assume that all casinos agree that gamblers should not place a bet and should not expect any compensation for making predictions. In other words, you can visit their website and have fun without receiving any monetary compensation. If this decision is made, nobody will gamble again, including those who claim to gamble for fun.

"I will quit gambling" when people say it, no one really can do it easily. There's a reason why it isn't easy. It is because people who gamble became addicted to it and once a person is addicted to gambling then it won't be easy to stop. I know a person in my country who always gamble on casino (physically) where he even sold his car just to have more money for gambling. Many people said that when it is still early then a person should ask for help from their love ones to help that person stop gambling while it is still early or isn't addicted to gambling yet. This is also the same to those who bet on lottery (non-online lottery) if you ask me.

Hahaha, this reminds me of a smoker friend I have, he'd always fight with his girlfriend over his smoking habit and he'd always promise to stop each time they fought, but he kept on smoking, and everytime he smoked,
Smoking and gambling may be equally difficult to stop.
My father is a heavy smoker. Finally he completely stopped snoring for 1 year when he suffered a partial stroke. But after going through all that and returning to health and being able to walk normally, he returned to his cigarettes, every day, even worse.
And for anyone who can stop gambling from addiction, or can manage and manage gambling well, really appreciate them all.
People who are addicted to drugs or smoking cannot get rid of that addiction by his wish. I have seen a relative of mine who was a heavy smoker continue to smoke despite being told to stop smoking. But when he was diagnosed with a fatal disease, he left. Gamblers often see a pattern where they continue their gambling until they lose their bankroll. No matter how good advice we give them from outside they don't pay attention until they lose everything.
One thing I've come to understand about addiction is that, until it has destroyed something huge in the life of the victim, no matter how much the victim tries to quit, it'll almost be impossible.
Just like you said about your relatives who didn't quit smoking until he figured out he was sick due to the effect and impact of the smokes he's been inhaling, I'm pretty sure a lot of people a lot of people may have tried to talk him out of it all to no avail.
Again, asides losing everything in one's bankroll, there are more fatal effects that gambling addictions can cause to its victim, we've seen several things online and even in our day to day lives on just how deadly gambling addiction can be to people
Addicted gambler mostly learn their lesson in a hard way before they know that addiction is bad and can frustrate them. I read a topic created by a forum member in the other forum that used his final year tuition fee to gamble and lost it all which led to him having an extra semester in school. He couldn't stop gambling until gambling extended his years in school because he was unable to get back the money for his tuition fee and nobody adviced him. According to what him, he quitted gambling for 4 years before he started gambling again.

Having an extra year in school is but only one of the minor side effects of addictive gambling to its victims. Everyday we see, hear and read about even more disastrous effects of gambling addiction. I also read about a case where a gambler took his own life after losing millions to gambling, according to reporter, the victim had previously used money meant for his business to gamble and when he lost, he borrowed money from his business partners to stake another game, with hopes of winning and repaying the debt with the money won from bet, even after knowing that winning in gambling isn't certain and the odds are always against the gamblers, he lost the whole money and put of frustration, took his own life.
These stories unveils the consequences of addictive gambling and the importance of responsible gambling, it's always emphasized and advised to gamble with money one can afford to lose, to avoid unnecessary losses that cpuld lewd to frustration.

That's the secret, and I discovered this when I trade, that applies to trading, in fact when I saw that this is more feasible because this way I avoid trying to control impulses and emotions I saw it as the Holy Grail, and when applying it to gambling even more so, we are people who have emotions, impulses, well we are human, we cannot get rid of those things, no matter how hard we try to control ourselves, we are going to be left with that which could not be done, so it is better to have limited money when gambling, and thus we avoid even falling into addiction.

Yes, it is very difficult. If I ask the question whether a person can easily give up gambling after winning a game but the answer will be "no". Because a person who wins at gambling will always try to increase his winning ratio by gambling more.
Perhaps that's why human want can never be satisfied because no matter how much an individual won in gambling he or she will never be satisfied because he would always want to gamble more with the believe that he is going to win more games and before they realizes themselves they had already lose everything they has won which why having a self discipline is very important in gambling.
Actually I wonder how most people gamble at times because whenever an individual win any game he would always have the feeling to continue gambling so that he will double the wining, though it depends on individual because in as much as most people love gambling to multiply there wining there are also people who are contemplated with there wining.

Indeed, this rules applies to trading as well, although I'm more of an investor than a trader so I do not have much knowledge about trading, but I know that trading involves staking money with hopes of multiplying it and make profit and so is gambling. People who stake their money on gambling do so with intentions of making profits, even those who mostly gamble for fun, I mean no one wants/likes to lose money no matter the circumstance, even when they're just merely gambling for fun and the outcome doesn't really matter, regardless, they'd still wish to make profit rather than losing their money.
So as long as it requires staking money and the fact that the result/outcome isn't dependent on you but others, then it's advisable to approach such with extreme caution and onoy stake what you can afford to lose just incase something eventually goes wrong.

Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
Controlling gambling is easy to say and challenging to do.
Gambling attracts people in such a way that even if they want to, they cannot stop themselves from gambling addiction. But one thing to remember is that no matter how hard an addiction is, will power is more powerful than that.
-
There is no need of saying it that one will quit gambling because if it was a true intention, then action would have been taken than saying it much as this, its not easy to say that one will quit gambling, if we are gambling the normal way that is expected of us, we don't have to come into the conclusion of quitting in gambling since all we want is fun and nothing more, then why should we quit if we are not doing it the wrong way or having the negative effect.

If you put money before gambling, this is what you are going to get, it will be difficult to leave even though the body is willing to, the spirit will be weak because you need money and you don't have any other means to get that money. The only thing that will be ringing in your head is to try again may be you are going to be lucky but gambling is not like that way.
Gambling is money driven but trust me, if you gamble with the intention of winning and not money driven, you will last long in good profit with few lossee because you can never get away with losses, it's a normal thing.

It is very true, things are normally like that, it is only necessary to emphasize that not all people have that willpower to do things as they should be, some People get carried away and are Afraid to get out of their addictions and more so when it comes to casinos , drugs or something like that, there has always been that way of seeing things as easy as possibly Dangerous in the future if not controlled well, because a game that in itself is for us to enjoy can turn into a war between the game and us, that is why I believe that by controlling money many problems would stop being Perceived.

Indeed...
Quitting gambling is easier said than done, starting gambling is a lot more easier than trying to quit. This reminds me of a conversation I eardroped on couple of days ago, a gambler was interacting with someone who had no knowledge about gambling, the other guy was asking the gambler to teach him how to gamble, but the gambler refused and said that it was better for him if he didn't learn how to gamble because it'll be impossible to unlearn it and only few know how to avoid running into gambling problem.
I actually see quite some truth in what the experienced gambler told the other guy, it's better not to learn how to gamble in the first place, especially for people who wish to join gambling just to make profit, because they'll be more like preys who can easily land themselves into gambling problems and after a while, they'll realize what they've done to themselves and then they'll try to quit, which is impossible because they'll always find themselves developing that urge to gamble and if they don't satisfy that urge, itll keep growing until they've satisfied it.
-
Its easy to quit gambling, some gamblers done it a thousand times. They still continue counting. I wm no addict to casino but if I have to compare this to my netflix addiction then its the hardest to resist unless there is a blackout in my city.
Seem users who were just gambling for the sake of signature campaign but in the end they learn to gamble and eventually spend in casino.

It may be that things can be seen as better to protect that person, it is not bad, however I think that this response can encourage that person to learn to bet on their own, and I do not know what is more dangerous if they learn on their own as happened to most of us, or have a mentor, I consider that it is much better to have a mentor in this betting thing , because rules and ways are established to avoid feelings and impulses from becoming part of us, and they can also tell you their control methods so that the apprentice can apply them, it would be like a little padawan.

There is no need of saying it that one will quit gambling because if it was a true intention, then action would have been taken than saying it much as this, its not easy to say that one will quit gambling
Whether you say it or not, gambling is never easy to stop. It is even better to say it out loud rather than keep the intention in your mind. I believe that if you tell people around you that you want to quit gambling, they will constantly remind you of your desire to quit. Although not a complete solution, it does help to some extent. The fact that those around you are making an effort to ensure that you keep your word can truly help the gambler.
When a gambler wants to gamble but realizes that his friends will criticize him for what he said, he will either stop gambling or try to gamble in secret. Secret gambling, made possible by online gambling apps, has made it difficult for gamblers to quit gambling. In addition, gamblers will always find it difficult to stop playing because of the convenience provided by online gambling sites.

Totally depends on a certain person because not all would really be having that good control when it comes to different things. Some could really be able to do such thing or point
but there would really be those people who would really be that not able to control their mindest and their emotions on which this would really be resulting into this kind of condition
on which you would really be definitely be having that kind of hard time on quitting even if you wanted too because we do know that when addiction hits then it would really be so hard
to control and most likely people do fail on doing so. Yes, its easy to be said than to be done.

It's not that they are afraid to get out of addictions, it's more of it's very difficult to get out once you are suckered inside and become addict and it will take like a very difficult circumstances in life to be able to snap just right in time to quit and not comeback or minimized your gambling activity. So first we really need to admit to ourselves that we are really that addicted, and then seek help from our families or medical professional. Otherwise it will be cyclical, that one day you will say to your self that you are going to quit for good and then after just a couple of days you are back again playing online or going to your favorite casinos to meet your friends there to gamble again.

You're absolutely right in this.
The reason we have so much rate of gambling addiction in the gambling sector I believe is because many people who come into the gambling sector usually do so with the totally wrong perspectives about gambling and also have several unrealistic goals and expectations of gambling simply because they didn't have someone considered to be an experienced gambler to guide them through the whole process, let them know the rules that guides gambling in order for a gambler to be completely safe from the hazardous impact of ignorant gambling behaviours as well as problem gambling.

Yes, it cannot be denied, things must be seen from the point of view that it is natural to be focused on the immediate solution of the disease, I generally when I try to give advice about addicted people I always try to focus with all possible tact so that my Words do not sound harsh, in many Cases there are people who do not have enough money to pay a Doctor and have one of these treatments , it is ideal , but that premise must be Considered.
-
In addition, gamblers will always find it difficult to stop playing because of the convenience provided by online gambling sites.
That's very true, the online gambling sites made it much easier for gamblers to gamble without any worries, especially those non KYC ones. The online casinos allow deposits from cryptocurrencies and it's not hard to track crypto transactions but who does that for $1000 or $10k?
The gamblers can now gamble with huge amounts without any issues and that can make them addicts because when someone wins or losses a lot in gambling then he/she become and addict, and such addicts continue to chase the wins to recover their losses and make profits and such profits never happen in real.

Yes, and it's incredible, but marketing also has no qualms about that, because if we look at the advertising, in all the advertising they show the benefits of the prizes, of winning, of doing things always focused on having a lot of money, but they don't show the things that can happen, like losing, like the fact that sometimes they can't keep control and when control is lost, then this advertising makes them think that there are castles on the roof and that every time they enter the casino they have to win.

If we have been profitable from how we are gambling, then i don't think there will ever be a time for us to reason on quitting, but when things aren't going as expected from how we are gambling, then the next to expect is on having diverse thoughts about quitting because the fun is no more there and gambling is not not bringing any achievement in us, this has a lot to do much about us and the way we are gambling.

I think it's one of those things when quitting is hard if you think that it's going to be hard, and it's easy if you think that quitting is not a big deal.
Sometimes all it takes is to learn how our brains work, especially when it comes to addictions.
With the right mindset, cutting the bad habits is not as hard as it seems.

OP: A somewhat individual, unique conjecture, first I don't smoke, and I have never told myself to stop betting, it is something normal in my life, it is something I do when appropriate, it is that simple, oh, by the way, losing is The most normal thing in betting, I would say that 80% or more depending on what type game bet on, you will lose. It is normal.

You're right, I personally will always say one thing , when it comes to doing things right , then you always have to consider what you want to achieve and at what price? Because it's very easy for us to bet and bet , and there will be times when one as a player decides to bet a little more than normal , but I think that here what must be considered is responsibility, nothing more, in fact I sometimes apply a small martingale with a small Balance , that is, I take 5usd and bet them, if I win I bet 10usd and I do so 4 or 5 times, but I do that Rarely , not all the time, it's how to change the way I play , but obviously with a lot of responsibility.

I think there are many gamblers who repeatedly pronounce to quit gambling but they never stop gambling or can't quit. It totally depends on the mentality of the gambler. Those who can control themselves or can stick to their rules after realizing their mistakes are suitable for gambling. It is difficult to get rid of any addiction but when one is able to consider it very carefully they will be able to do that difficult task.

Not all the time is this the case. Our thinking will only give us the right attitude and help us overcome addiction, but it will not make it any easier. Do you believe that if I tell myself that overcoming addiction is not difficult, addiction will immediately stop? It's a NO.
Addiction requires action, not just words. If it was as simple as you claimed, I doubt anyone would still be addicted because every addict has expressed interest in overcoming addiction at some point, but only a few of them have succeeded. This is because addiction is a disorder that controls a person, making it difficult to resist temptation to gamble.

Trading doesn't mean only when there is bullish or only trading on rising. You can trade to bearish or to bullish and all depends on the market flow at the time of trading. If you place your trading in bullish and the market suddenly decreased to bearish then you lost the trade and if you place it in bearish and suddenly it goes up then your trade is lost and that is why trading is dangerous.
Exactly and that should be one of the premises of each trader, in this case you should always operate in favor of the trend, of course there are many types of operations that can be done, short term, medium and long term, you just have to know how to operate and know what you are getting into, as a trader you must do your analysis corresponding to the time periods where you think you can be successful, in any case it is always good to know how the market behaves over a period of months, weeks and hours in order to have an idea of what is happening.

If a trader doesn't know or understand the market trend and just trading them he will lose enough. For a trader to make profit from the trading, he has to follow the trend to start the trading and to end the trading. And I always said, don't be greedy. If he has gotten small profit rest and check the movement of the market then if it will favor you, you start again. Like what happened to bitcoin last few weeks were detriment to traders because it was coming down speed and suddenly shoot up again and when the market behavior in that way then people lose a lot.

Yes, and in this case it happens almost as if we were in a casino, emotions are capable of making us lose or win a lot of money and that is what is very sad, sometimes we get carried away by many things and among them the emotions of feeling big or winning large sums and sometimes it makes us do unnecessary things in the game, of course, this usually happens, that is why first of all knowing the tendency and how to operate, I am one of those who put up money totally willing to lose and if I win even a little, it is important, because little by little the thing goes up.

Yes, controlling of emotion in gambling is the highest thing to do because if a gambler can't control his emotions then he will be emptying his pocket whenever he visits the website, or the center. Greediness also causes great loss in gambling, some people when they lose small which can even withdrawable but for them, it is too small for them to withdraw so they would still stake it and finally loss all. Then deposit again. But the wise ones would withdraw some and use the remaining balance to stake. So that if they loss, they have already taken something from it.

Winning brings joy and when you want to become greedy when winning it will lead you to great losses because no one can keep winning constantly. Self control matters a lot in gambling because it will help you to know the right time for you to stop gambling and that will lower the risk in losing more. Our emotions can be controlled when one gamble for fun and don't get carried away with the present condition of your bet. This is why it is good to set a time limit and gambling budget for your gambling activities.

I think 1:10 win/loss ratio was I think more accurate compared to 50/50 and from that perspective we will not be having a good return therefore it is I think the sign that we gamblers might get broke 99% because the remaining one percent only allocates winning rate for me. So far from my gambler activities I never had a life changing win that is why I put limits on my bets.

It is because of the winning people are gambling and not because they are losing. And all the determinations of a gambler is to win but it is not possible for the gambler to win always. And the losing and the winning make gambling more interesting. When a gambler loses, he would like to play and win back his loss and when a gambler wins, he would like to win more. So to quit gambling is hard but with self control, he can do it.

I think there are many gamblers who repeatedly pronounce to quit gambling but they never stop gambling or can't quit. It totally depends on the mentality of the gambler. Those who can control themselves or can stick to their rules after realizing their mistakes are suitable for gambling.
Those are the things that happens on a regular basis in terms of gambling because in some cases you will see some gamblers after losing so much on there gambling they will be saying that they will not gamble again and after three or four days they will still be tempted to gamble and before you know they will continue there gambling, so actually is totally depends on the mentality of a gambler to learn from there mistake and make amends.
Though in terms of quitting gambling is mostly difficult especially for those who has already become an addict because no matter how he or she would try they would always go back to there gambling habit, so actually the only people who can easily quite are those that has not really gone dip on there gambling habits.

Yeah that is one thing common with gambler they never quits for any reason provided that the person is gambling responsibly even though he is losing he would take a break for awhile and then continue again. You know it's better to only gambling for abs when noticed the lose is much then s/he has to break for awhile after which then he may continue gambling again that is what a reasonable gambler should do instead of regularly keep gambling to lose in every bet as a result chasing lose.

This used to be me. In the past, when I gambled and then ran out of money, I would say things like "I will never gamble again," but as soon as I had money, I would install my betting app and begin making predictions again. It was at this point that I realized that a gambler without a source of income will always make such a statement but when such a gambler receives a small sum of money, they consider how to multiply the funds, and when they do not win, they regret ever using the money to gamble and then imagine the various things they could have done with it. But this is always the case. This is why I believe that gambling is only for those who have a source of income, and that those who do not have one should not gamble.

When a gambler does not dream of getting rich from gambling and does not consider gambling as a money-making scheme, it will not be difficult for him to give up gambling. But when the gambler dreams of earning money, the passion for gambling will gradually turn into an addiction. I am not an addicted gambler but it would be difficult for me to give up gambling forever. I won't do that because I find pleaser in gambling that I can't find anywhere else. I can take a long break if I want but I am not willing to give up gambling forever.

People think of quitting gambling when they seems to be addicted gambler but in a way were they are controlling themselves in gambling, like can gamble responsibly then I don't see any reason to quit gambling because already they have maintained a stable gambling and healthy gambling practice. Lot of people who doesn't take gambling as their only means of source are the people who are far away from becoming an addiction.

It all comes back to each of us, because what we feel may not be the same as what others feel. People who are still financially healthy may continue to gamble, but we don't know if they start thinking about gambling or not.
Usually this happens for many reasons, one of which is when priorities change and there are more and more needs so that they can no longer freely allocate money for gambling.

Gamblers tend to think of quitting gambling when they are on a losing streak but that is only temporary as the vibes of quitting will be gone when they start winning once again. Personally, i don't know what makes a gambler quit/stop gambling because once a gambler will always be a gambler hehe.

I consider that the best thing is the experience we acquire in betting, in games, because thanks to those experiences we learn and since we do not want to lose money, or at least a lot of money, that is what should be done, I am a person who has always said that limiting our game with money is the solution, it is the only way we have to avoid all internal conflict with ourselves, that is, disappointments, stress, pressure, depression and addiction , that is why the best thing is to find a way to play with limited money.

Good for you mate you can control or limit yourself because I think majority can't. I am also thankful that I am not like my neighbors who really can't put limits to their bets and sometimes they end up nothing and debt. That even result into a family conflict or quarrel because food was not prioritized and money was gone because of gambling. That is I think the importance of knowing our limits.

Surely, you should be very grateful when you can still control yourself and manage yourself very well and wisely in gambling. Because as you said, the majority can't. even more than that, very lost of control, even tending to spread to gambling addiction. Especially slot players, uh that's really dangerous and like unknowingly have fallen into gambling addiction.
This case has become increasingly rampant, especially in my country where the case of slot gambling is one of the things that is currently a concern in my country. because many people fall into it and end up in a lot of debt because of gambling slots, and even that happens at various ages, from teenagers to the elderly.
In theory, self-control over gambling is very detailed. but in fact, it is very difficult to do and even if you are addicted, it is like impossible to do, except with the help of an expert.
-
If we are gambling in the normal and expected way from us, we may not have reasons to say that we are quitting for gambling, gambling is not what we can just make a decision for to quit when are already at its best, but when things were not happening the way they should be, we may then resulted into quitting, but instead of doing that, gambling is what we should be able to control before getting out of hands for us to achieve the best of having fun in it.

I could remember way back when I was always gambling without luck and run at loss almost every time that I gamble. This will make me say to myself I will quit gambling, but after a while, I will think of gambling and I will try to hold myself back, which happens. But my mind will keep telling me to gamble, and after somedays I will gamble again. Same thing will happen and I will repeat the same words again. This happened to me over and over again, but look at me now I am still gambling and having fun with it. Have this ever happened to you that you said you will quit gambling but didn't.
Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
This is why gambling industry is really that profitable due to this very common human being behavior on which they would really be just that keeps on coming coming back on the moment that they would really be able to experience a single win. Just like on what said that you would really be having those thoughts that you would really be quitting but on the moment that you do hit up a single win then you would really be just simply goes back into your original phase and would really be starting to gambling again and this one keeps on until you would be losing all the money
you do have or simply cant be able to play just because you dont have the funds on doing so.
The reality is that even if one person quits and decides to stick to their decision for the rest of their lives, betting companies will continue to profit because new people enter the betting industry every day. People want to be rich, and the majority of them believe that gambling can help them get there. This is why betting companies will thrive regardless of who joins or leaves.
A story will suffice to justify what has been said above. I have a friend who vowed never to gamble because he was afraid of it, but then something happened and he was in need of money, and surprisingly, he turned to gambling as a way to raise funds and solve the problem. When I found out, I told him that using gambling to solve his problem was a bad reason to gamble. Gambling did not help him solve his problem as he had hoped, and he is currently struggling to stop gambling despite his promises to stop.

It is indeed difficult to get out of the habit especially when it is a form of entertainment for us, as long as they have money to play they will come back even though they have stopped because they did not have money before.
For me it is not a problem as long as we can be responsible for the gambling we do. Because if we cannot be responsible then it is better to never know gambling at all.

One of the differences between gambling addicts and non-addicts is that they don't think of gambling as a money-making scheme. But if you ask them to quit gambling forever, not all of them can do it. Because gambling has now become one of the focal points of many people's lives. Many people think that they are addicted gamblers they can never quit gambling but I think this is wrong. An addicted gambler quits gambling when he loses all his money because he is no longer able to place bets at that point. But a non-addicted gambler who considers gambling only as a center of entertainment is gambling within his capacity which does not mean he has to give up gambling.

To be a responsible gambler is not easy as it takes years of experience before becoming one. Patience and discipline go hand in hand for us to become responsible but if we have the money and we are winning most of the time, it is so hard to reflect and improve on our misdoings on gambling.

gambling can affect anyone even the most secure person you know once they feel that high if winning, they can never stop and crave for it all the time although of course it might be easier to control your gambling if you have already managed to take care of yourself and be a well rounded person
well rounded person is someone who has control of his emotions as well as his actions i can not guarantee that you will not be addicted to gambling however if you have already worked on yourself and you carry maturity with you then you’d probably not fall down the gambling hole as deep as people who are unstable
-
gambling can affect anyone even the most secure person you know once they feel that high if winning,(...)
Disagree. You're implying that we're no better than animals and our lives are driven by urges we're unable to control.
Any adult who has developed enough self-discipline and who has a basic understanding of emotional reactions and how they can be controlled will be able to stay away from harmful activities.
That's probably why the vast majority of people do not gamble at all.

Yes that is it, lot of people who doesn't know how to control themselves or gamble always since they don't have money to allocate to their gambling account.
We know it's very important to have something doing to enable us continue gambling if not we may not gamble because we don't have a stable cash flow to regularly funds our gambling account when we needs to gamble.

It's all about self-discipline, anyone without that while gambling is risking anything they have. If this is true "gambling can affect anyone" then it's good to say that all gamblers who at least win millions feel the same — just crave to get more win.
There are always exceptions for this and those who are stopped and some continue but regulates it's play time.

Well discipline really plays an important role into anything we do that might get us addicted either video games, gambling or other time and money consuming hobbies/habit around us. Without it I don't think we will be having a good day and living because discipline makes us what we become for the rest of our lives. And disciplines is very important in gambling so we might not end up being broke.

And I say that here, to see if my strategy can help some members. I feel that most people who fall into addiction is because they do not control their money , the other reason is because they like gambling a lot and because they want to be the best and be remembered, but gambling in this case is a double-edged sword because basically the control of emotions and impulses has a lot of influence and that is what leads us to make many mistakes, and with money what we must always maintain is Moderation.

No one said it was easy, even those who feel that they are responsible do not guarantee that they will maintain it all because temptations are definitely there, especially since we are human beings who have emotions.
Even someone who is experienced in gambling does not guarantee that they can be responsible, because responsibility is something difficult and it takes effort to be able to do it.

Gambling responsibly is unquestionably a state of mind. The level of difficulty is determined by the gambler's mindset. Some gamblers express themselves openly, but their inner thoughts are quite different. For example, I may claim that I will not gamble to make money, but when I place a bet, I will not be satisfied with the potential win, so I will continue to accumulate games because all of them appear to be sure in order to win more.
With this attitude toward gambling, it is difficult to gamble responsibly. Being content should be a virtue that all gamblers strive for because it allows them to maintain self-control and makes it easier to gamble responsibly, set goals, and gamble within those goals.

It should also be remembered that humans have feelings and thoughts which sometimes collide with each other and make it difficult for us to make choices.
If we are a man then logic is more dominant, so if we are in the wrong logic it is not impossible that we will also take the wrong path. In my opinion, this all affects our responsibility, because on the one hand we also have to make decisions.

This inner conflict occurs because humans strive to achieve multiple goals at the same time. When this happens, it is difficult to make decisions as you noted. This is the idea behind the scale of preference advocated by economists, but it is one thing to establish a scale of preference and another to adhere to it while taking into account the impact of an emergency situation on an individual's scale of preferences.
For example, a gambler wants to pay for both his medical bills and his rent. Obviously, the two bills are critical, and this will undoubtedly cause internal conflict for the gambler, making it difficult for him to decide. In some cases, the gambler will end up solving none and losing the money he has saved by attempting to place a bet that will cover both bills, and because gambling is never a guaranteed solution, it will end up multiplying the problem by leaving the gambler in financial ruin.

Well discipline really plays an important role into anything we do that might get us addicted either video games, gambling or other time and money consuming hobbies/habit around us. Without it I don't think we will be having a good day and living because discipline makes us what we become for the rest of our lives. And disciplines is very important in gambling so we might not end up being broke.
Of course Decipline plays a very vital role in somebody's life because it will prevent the person from so many things, so in terms of gambling is good when somebody sees it as a means of entertainment or catching fun even if the major objective is profits because with this way you will be able to have a full control of yourself and the person can decide to quit gambling at anytime they feel is okay for them.
However for those who failed to apply a decline in anything they are doing tends to always becomes a victim or fall into a trouble on the process, that's why we have so many gambling addict because if they had apply Decipline they would not have gotten to the point they are, and after becoming an addict it becomes very difficult quitting gambling because the person will see gambling as everything.

I agree with you about the importance of discipline. Without discipline, there is no reason to gamble because it will cause problems for the gambler. It only takes a disciplined gambler to remain focused, set limits, and stick to them. Many gamblers developed addictions as a result of maintaining discipline while gambling.
In some cases, a budget is set, but due to a lack of discipline, the gambler does not stick to it, especially if he or she is on a losing streak. In fact, a gambler's winning streak serves as a test of discipline. This is because most gamblers want to gamble more and raise their stakes when they are on a winning streak.

Actually, if you think logically, they can decide which of the two to prioritize, because a few days later they can pay it off even though it's a little late.
But as you said, they actually have another option which is they will go to a gambling place in the hope that they can double their money and be able to pay off both. Instead of that they can get, they can't pay both because they lost in gambling.

Greed can make a gambler lack discipline because like you said when he is winning, the greed in him will make him lose control on when to stop the game and walk away with his wins but instead he will keep on gambling and might lose it all. That might make him lose some act of discipline if he does not come back to his senses. A discipline gambler will set a gambling budget and also have a time limit which he will stick to at all time no matter the present outcome of his ongoing games.

gambling can affect anyone even the most secure person you know once they feel that high if winning,(...)
Disagree. You're implying that we're no better than animals and our lives are driven by urges we're unable to control.
Any adult who has developed enough self-discipline and who has a basic understanding of emotional reactions and how they can be controlled will be able to stay away from harmful activities.
It's all about self-discipline, anyone without that while gambling is risking anything they have. If this is true "gambling can affect anyone" then it's good to say that all gamblers who at least win millions feel the same — just crave to get more win.
There are always exceptions for this and those who are stopped and some continue but regulates it's play time.
Gamblers have no limit to their desire to win which is why they end up losing everything even if they win big in gambling. Though not all gamblers share the same behavior, the number of such gamblers is high. And such gamblers will find it difficult to quit gambling under any circumstances. They have the greed to win and the misconception that they will never give up gambling easily.

And this is absolutely understandable, because gambling is full of advantages that attract players. This is the possibility of winning and a pleasant pastime. Of course, many players have difficulty stopping gambling and starting to work, or trying to organize a business. The world of casinos is clear and simple, and it is difficult to escape from it.

Yeah you're right and I think the advantage depends on the gamblers motive for going into gambling, people who gamble for fun and those who gamble for the money would be at advantage if their purpose of gambling is being achieved but I've noticed that the major thing that attracts people into gambling is the money, people take gambling as a means of earning or a side hustle are much compared to those who gamble for fun or pleasure and most atimes it the quest for money that makes it difficult for gamblers to quit gambling.

Absolutely! When there is greed there is no discipline and when there is discipline there's no greed. What this tells us is that as long as a gambler is greedy, which includes desperation to amass so much wealth through gambling, he loses discipline, making it difficult for him to quit gambling because he has been brainwashed with the belief that as long as you gamble every day, your pay day is guaranteed. As a result, such a gambler continues to gamble and chase losses, believing that the only way to be a loser is to stop gambling.

Honestly, I have never been in a situation like yours. In fact, those who have gambled for a long time, they can never completely give up gambling. No matter how much they say that they will not gamble anymore, they cannot be completely without gambling.
We should always gamble seriously, the more you gamble on emotion the more you lose. That is, now that you've lost, you'll want to gamble more just to recover that lost money, and the more you gamble emotionally, the more you'll lose.
So we should do a better research on the subject that we lost the first time, so that we don't repeat the same mistake in the future. Then you can easily earn more than your lost money.

Gambling is not something you easily give up on especially when one goes into it with the agenda of making money but then you'll be wondering why most people are not benefiting much from it but then they still find it difficult to quit, one of the major things I could think of is chasing lose, it has ruined so many gamblers, thereby giving them hope of recovering whereas they end up on a wild goose chase all in the name of trying to recover lost funds. Their are things a gambler shouldn't tolerate while gambling and gambling with emotions is one of them, a good gambler should know when it's right to quit or pause for a while. Sometimes why some gamblers fail is because they go into gambling with little knowledge of how it operates and end up making too many errors, therefore making a research about gambling before going into it is not a bad idea.

Gambling requires a strong skill of self-analysis. After all, no one can help a problem gambler except himself. He must always understand his mistakes, and not everyone can do this. Plus, I believe that gambling addiction is one of the strongest. And if someone wants to get rid of it, he needs to come up with a way to fence himself off from gambling advertising.

Well it is true that sometimes we only need ourselves to get through any eventuality, and more so when you are going through a bad time or a very Difficult time, that is when we must use what we have to get ahead, yes, it is good to read or receive advice from other people, but I think that our own willpower can make us get ahead very quickly, sometimes we lose motivation and that can be the trigger for not doing well, in this aspect is where we must be strong and always get the best of Ourselves.

I think that you, like me, have seen many different people in your life. And no matter how they behave, the best way is to be independent in your decisions. I know scoundrels, rich people who stopped communicating with poor friends, although they were good friends. Therefore, it is important to have your own character and your own opinion, which you can defend. This is important. After all, sometimes it seems that we are alone in the world, and all other people are strangers.

people who leave their friends based on social status are not good people i know many rich people and have stayed friends with them despite the apparent difference in our lives as well as the direction and paths that we are heading towards to good people are out there just find them

i more than anyone value individualism and independence but no man is an island and we still need a support system that can be with us through rough times just make sure that you pick the right ones

I agree with you but the truth is when there is a huge gap in wealth whether we like it or not there will be a disparity. The more wealthy someone becomes, there is every tendency that he will likely meet new friends in the same social status. The reason is simple. Where he will shop or sit out, he will meet people on the same social class with him and so his circle of friends starts to change. I have always told my friends to always try to make effort in life so that the friendship will be respectful. Even where a person doesn't change his circle the nature of the friendship will be parasitic and will not be good that way.

But its not really that bad on making yourself at least on being observantin ot those people who are really that around you on which not all would really be cant be trusted
and there would really be still those people who might become that your friend or could help you in the future not unless if you are really that rich or simply having that financial capacity
then you would really be having that kind of boast and confidence that you could really do almost everything on which this is something which is really that very common.

Being yourself and being indifferent to other things is something very enjoyable. It would be nice if we were like that and didn't care about what other people do.
Sometimes I also see people who behave arrogantly and proudly, that is the attitude they take. But if we care too much about it, it might have a bad impact on our psychology. So once again being yourself is very important.

In a society where no man is an island it becomes impossible for people not to consider the activity of other people. People always thrive to succeed and then do something new and so they are in constant watch for people who does something better than them or who they see as a model.
In regards to gambling, due to the fact that it is difficult to win as a result of uncertainty in the game gamblers are always in search for a better pundit that can help them increase their winning rate. This accounts for one of the reasons why it will be difficult for gamblers not to care about what others are doing as you have mentioned.

Yes, we will always need other people that's why we are called social creatures. But what I mean here is something that has a negative effect on us. Of course we should be motivated by others when they succeed, but don't be jealous of their achievements, it's that simple.
especially in gambling, when someone can win a big win at that time they are lucky and don't think we will feel the same because everyone has different luck.

It's just that sometimes people who are rich, are actually poor , I consider that the friends they have is because of the interest in the money they have, it's not because they actually feel a sincere friendship, and yes, I also consider it bad, but the decisions are Really the Best they can do and take for good, in this case you can talk About many things to be a better person, of course that is something that we do not see well, sometimes a person who has little money is capable of Helping Someone with the little they have , and although in the bets you can notice in some cases that the People who are poorer do not mind being left with nothing, it is always a question of decision, just as you Affirm.

There are always going to be hardships especially when it comes to quitting something that you have always been doing consistently. The repeated attempts to quit and the big cycle of life that you have where you are stuck in that continuous loop.
I believe having meditation and acceptance that you have an addiction would result in having a good result in the quest that you have to quit.
You have to exert so much effort.
Addictions are very high to quit especially gambling but one way to stop this lifestyle that a lot of people don't actually know is the delay tactic, what's is it all about you might ask, This is just simply procrastinating your gambling activity until the day is over. If you feel the urge to gamble and it's 5 a.m tell yourself that you'll do it by 10 a.m , once it's 10 keep procrastinating till the day is over. A lot of people undermine this but it actually works. Any gambler that continues this way will notice an improvement, overtime you feel lazy and reluctant to gamble

Indeed, it'll be almost impossible for an addicted gambler to break free from a gambling addiction if he doesn't even admit that he's addicted or willing to enforce a change in his habits, he must first acknowledge and admit the fact that he is addicted and then he should also recognise the negative impact the habit is causing on him, only then can he truly understand the magnitude of the issue and then willing to accept change. Otherwise he may even feel insulted or bullied whenever the issue of his addiction pops up, because he hasn't really acknowledged that he's addicted, neither does he feel the negative impact of the addiction.
This way he can be able to accept changes and would also do everything possible to set a shield around himself so he wouldn't fall into that adduction again.

I could remember way back when I was always gambling without luck and run at loss almost every time that I gamble. This will make me say to myself I will quit gambling, but after a while, I will think of gambling and I will try to hold myself back, which happens. But my mind will keep telling me to gamble, and after somedays I will gamble again. Same thing will happen and I will repeat the same words again. This happened to me over and over again, but look at me now I am still gambling and having fun with it. Have this ever happened to you that you said you will quit gambling but didn't.
Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
When you lose gambling you can plan to quit gambling but it is very difficult to implement because if you enjoy gambling games they will drag you back to gambling. once a person starts gambling, it becomes very difficult to quit gambling. That's why you shouldn’t get completely addicted to gambling while gambling. Although I gamble very little, I sometimes fear that gambling can make me addicted at any time. Because gambling games are very interesting. Due to which sometimes we start gambling despite our desire. And at that time we think that if we don't take risk we can't gain. But when I lose gambling, I blame my decision. our life continues in this fucking circle

But its not really that bad on making yourself at least on being observantin ot those people who are really that around you on which not all would really be cant be trusted
and there would really be still those people who might become that your friend or could help you in the future not unless if you are really that rich or simply having that financial capacity
then you would really be having that kind of boast and confidence that you could really do almost everything on which this is something which is really that very common.
Well there are many things that can be observed about people, some are good or bad, others are very selfish and only care about what they can do for others and how they can Benefit from what they have or what other people can offer them, in this area there is that and I think in all of them , when you try hard enough and Win , I think that players will have many more Friends , it is a fact that things Will always be that way, it is something that we will Always face.

Yes i also think It is easy to saw but difficult to do. I think who are involved in gambling he will not able to quite from it. Gambling is like a addiction who will involve in gambling he will be try to quite from gambling several times but he will not successful within short time.
I think it is difficult to quite but not impossible. If anyone want to from his hart he will be successful today or tomorrow. Any kinds of addiction ie harmful to us so we have to quite from any kinds of addiction.
People that are addicted and can't quit, when you investigate them you will be surprised that they are fighting to have money and since they don't have means to make money, they won't stop gambling no matter the persuasion and the talk, they will never take stop but with the availability of money or perhaps a better to earn, they will stop gambling if they want to stop it.
If you have the means to know if a country gamble about them or doesn't have to be have what it takes because they don't even have a soundy change about them unless they have everything about them and they thinki the feelings can help you from been attacked as a female person from the same.

Gambling addiction is more above getting something else to do because there people who already had what to do and yet are still suffering for gambling addiction. what gambling does is that immediately you got addicted to it you would feel that there are something missing in you and you would want to always fill that space at all time because if you don't gamble you will think that your luck is taken or has already taken so anytime you don't gamble there is something missing from you so it's not about having something to do or not.

It takes a lot of discipline for one to stop gambling entirely. When I see people going back to their gambling lifestyle after promising to stop, I don't usually point fingers at them or blame them for that because gambling is all seen in most places we go to or live. That made it possible for one to start gambling again after thinking of stopping.

I have quite a similar situation. Many times I have said to myself, that I will stop playing crash with 1.01-1.05 odds. Because the possible amount won isnt worth risking. Many times I have managed to turn $1 into $3-5, and say to myself that it is time to stop. But I keep busting and 1.00 Sometimes it is hard to believe, that among 1.00-9999 crashes, I see 1.00 crash so often. Even though loosing a dollar isnt much and I dont feel very disappointed, but many times I saw how easy it is to double that bet, and how often I lose it and tell myself to never risk so stupidly anymore.
The more you win the more you always want to keep winning it's human nature to do that. Crash games are quite risky to use such an amount because how do you know when the plane is going to crash in the next set, aiming for 1.01 seems to be safe but what if it crashes at 1.00, this is something that happens to a lot of people playing this game. Don't be carried away by how easy it is to double your stake with this game because it's also easy to lose it as well

And I also agree that discipline is everything, sometimes talking about betting can be very easy, but in reality things can get complicated when it comes to setting a good bet and when to raise it or when it can be done in the best way, or that is safe, for example in soccer games sometimes the teams that are the most favorites are the ones that can give us a good win, however sometimes surprises happen, that is why when it comes to making bets, things can be part of mere luck , which sometimes is not so good.

Not only discipline, it's more of a mental game or at least something bad happen to you as a result of your gambling addiction. It could be that you are totally isolated, or your family disown you, or your wife divorced you because you are really that addicted that you didn't take care of them as you supposed to.
So if someone will quit, it's takes a lot of his emotions, thoughts and his mentality to be in sync so that he can get out of gambling for good and then have normalized his relationships to his family.

It is easier said than done. Overcoming addiction may appear to be a simple task in theory, but in practice, it is extremely difficult. When a gambler becomes addicted, he loses control over himself. He is no longer in control of himself, but a slave to his addiction. As a slave to his addiction, his decisions are dictated by it. When the time comes to feed his addiction, he will make every effort to answer the call without hesitation. When a gambler continues to fuel his addiction, other aspects of his life will undoubtedly suffer because, as the saying goes, "you cannot serve two masters at the same time."

This is why it is difficult to give up gambling even if it is said. If we take a deep thought as to why we should give up or stop gambling, the answer is that many people cannot control themselves due to gambling. At some point they lose their money while managing to become addicted to gambling. If one can control himself in this situation then there seems no need for him to give up gambling. There are wins and losses in gambling. If gambling is done with in limitation according to one's ability to gain temporary pleasure, then even if gambling losses occur, the gambler is not likely to have any serious problems. If the gambler finds the right solution to his problem, the gambler need not stop gambling. When a gambler becomes addicted, it becomes difficult to stop gambling.

Once you have an addiction to something it is going to be hard to stop because it becomes a habit. gambling on the other hand will not be on your mind once you are winning of course you only think about quitting because of the losses. The losses make you feel frustrated and desperate, and that’s when you start thinking about quitting. But the hope of winning back what you lost often pulls you right back in, making it even harder to stop.

It is easier to stop gambling if you have not won before. A person who begins gambling and loses money right away is unlikely to continue gambling. This is because he has no idea what it feels like to win at gambling. As a result, he will doubt his chances of winning and will quit gambling.
This is a different game for a gambler who has previously won. This type of gambler will not stop gambling, even if he is losing. He will continue to chase losses, as you mentioned, because he believes he can win again.

Why not try to self-exclude from casinos? I know that it is impossible to self-exclude from every single casino, but gamblers usually gamble in bunch of favorites casinos only. Addicted gamblers will search for new casinos, but their case is different, they have a mental problem and they need to find someone who will fix their mind to quite gambling. For a person who is simply gambling regularly, self-exclusion might be a solution.

Gambling requires a strong skill of self-analysis. After all, no one can help a problem gambler except himself. He must always understand his mistakes, and not everyone can do this. Plus, I believe that gambling addiction is one of the strongest. And if someone wants to get rid of it, he needs to come up with a way to fence himself off from gambling advertising.
Indeed, it'll be almost impossible for an addicted gambler to break free from a gambling addiction if he doesn't even admit that he's addicted or willing to enforce a change in his habits, he must first acknowledge and admit the fact that he is addicted and then he should also recognise the negative impact the habit is causing on him, only then can he truly understand the magnitude of the issue and then willing to accept change. Otherwise he may even feel insulted or bullied whenever the issue of his addiction pops up, because he hasn't really acknowledged that he's addicted, neither does he feel the negative impact of the addiction.
This way he can be able to accept changes and would also do everything possible to set a shield around himself so he wouldn't fall into that adduction again.
True, the main thing in this case is for the problem gambler to honestly admit to himself that he has a problem with gambling. And not pretend. Because many problem gamblers, when they are sent for treatment, begin to pretend in order to leave this place as soon as possible. And they look like good actors. They are ready to lie even to the closest people in order to get out of the place where they are trying to cure them of gambling habits.

As you correctly point out, self-admission of gambling addiction is important, but it is not the only way to help a gambler overcome his addiction. The only reason it is important for a gambler to admit that he is addicted is that doing so indicates that you are willing to try anything to overcome your addiction. But that is not all that is required.
For example, admitting that I am sick with malaria does not cure the disease. I will still have to take medications to help me heal. This means that once an addict recognizes his addiction, it becomes easier to help him because he will carefully follow any instructions given to him. Obeying a behavioural therapist's instructions is key to overcoming gambling addiction.

Yes, it's all about compliance, it's very important for the affected victim to first admit that he I addicted and also comply 100% with people proposing and offering help to him towards ensuring that e gets the adequate help he requires in order to break free from that addiction. Because if the victim shows an atom of resistance due to not realizing or admitting he's addicted, or because of fear of being criticized by friends and family, it'll be very difficult or even impossible for him to break free.
And it's just quite unfortunate that a lot of people are suffering from gambling addiction and yet do not even realize it, it is when the addiction has done them an unrecoverable damage that they'll realize it, then it'll look like there's no more turning back, and at this point, some of them even attempt suicide due to being out of options of getting themselves out of the mess.

You got that good point right there mate. You are correct that when we admit of something like addiction it didn't end there. Cooperation and showing our serious intent to really change or being rehab or cured from that specific disorder will help us get the best time to recover and that is what is important in that kind of situation.

Definitely.
I mean how exactly can a doctor know just the best remedy to administer to his patient if the patient refuses to open up or come out clean to the doctor how he's actually feeling and how the illness is affecting him. Same thing goes for a patient who also approaches a Councillor or Therapist, its very important for the person to come out clean before he can really receive the adequate attention he needs.
Our willingness to change or quit the addiction is very essential, as a matter of fact, it's the first and most important step towards fighting and stopping an addiction, not just in gambling addiction but also in other forms of addictions too. Taking a a drug addict to rehab isn't just enough, it's just like the popular saying one can only drag a horse or donkey to the Riverside or stream but that doesn't guarantee the horse would drink from the stream. Same is applicable in this case too.

Self-exclusion is difficult if we continue to open casinos every day, it feels difficult to stop unless you do slowly leave the casino games that were often playing try playing once a week or once a month if you feel that you are comfortable with the way then you can stop.
But for disciplined gamblers they will not worry because they don't spend a lot of money, usually they have set a bankroll for gambling so that they don't overdo it, which means they don't return money in gambling.

A gambler might admit that he is an addict and still choose not to come out from addiction because he feels that he has lost everything to gambling and will prefer to continue, believing that he will win huge amount someday. This is the problem some gamblers have, they feel quitting the game when losing means that you are weak and they don't want to accept defeat. I have a friend that is addicted to gambling but to the point of misbehaving, he told me that he is gambling to make profit. It is only when an addicted gambler has determined to leave his addiction that you can help him overcome it, otherwise, your effort will be in vain.

Stopping completely on doing gambling then this is something that starting up into your own mind because on the time that you have plans on stopping but the actions you are making is totally opposite on what you do like to happen then it would really be pointless because you will really be still doing it no matter what. This is why it is really that something that recommended
that if you do really want to quit or stop then you should mean it. it would really be that too impossible that you wont be able to stop if you are really that serious.
It really just that a matter of self control and awareness about the things that you are really that into and dont wait up for the things to become worst before you do stop.

You're right, some gamblers feel it's too late to turn back because they've lost way too much already so they continue with hopes of hitting it big just as you've rightly said. But have you seen a gambler who has lost everything, I mean everything, with debts piled up, with no hopes or means of repayment, do you still believe that such a person would still consider continuing to gamble as a viable option?
Definitely not, because the only thing on his mind would be getting help and then have a clear mind to think and look for ways to raise money and repay all his debt...
Well, it's all about perspective and each individual may have different reactions when faced with such a situation.

Actually, it doesn't matter if someone wants to stop gambling, if possible we should not fall back into gambling, no matter how disciplined a gambler is, I think in the long run they will go crazy and become addicted and forget about their surroundings.

I have said this dozen of times when i wanted to quit smoking and drinking but more than dozen that i failed myself .
so Instead of saying ?i did my best to forget those vises and i won.
same as in gambling, when i am still active , i use totell myself each time I lose that I will quit gambling but never that i won against this until my wife helps me with it .
There's a popular phrase that gamblers always use "gamblers quit before winning" this mentality has put a lot of people in trouble, they have forgotten that gambling is just all about luck so they keep playing with the hope of getting their losses back one day, this is what fuels their addiction. Telling yourself that you will stop are just mere words you must take action if you are willing to make a change. Breaking an addiction has to do with a lot of decision making

So if someone will quit, it's takes a lot of his emotions, thoughts and his mentality to be in sync so that he can get out of gambling for good and then have normalized his relationships to his family.
It is always good to Normalize relationships with the Family , in the chaos that is possible , I personally am a person who always does that, but sometimes within the same family nucleus there are people that no matter how much you Want to help , you can't Expect anything good from them , so Sometimes family relationships are merely acts of diplomacy as a measure of Respect for older Adults , but it is Something that is not worth the Effort , so based on this, you should have or Try to have some Harmony with your closest family Members, or with those who are always there, that is my advice, having a high emotional intelligence is good.

I also agree with your opinion, gambling addiction is a big trap for many people. When a gambler loses money gambling, he keeps playing to recover his lost money. Every time he loses, he thinks that the next game will make up for all his losses, and thus he becomes addicted to gambling. And later it becomes very difficult to get out of this addiction.

Some years ago I was quite addicted to video games. When I was much younger, I often spend time playing them, when I grew up and found work, I have started collecting games. I ended with buying games, storing them on the shelve and never even open disc box. Some might say that this was my hobby, but I took to the level, when I spend hours checking marketplaces for a games that I dont have. The help with my buying video games came with finding another hobby or time spender. Riding motorcycle, buying mods and maintaining motorcycle is my new passion. Maybe for gambling addicted, finding other (positive) addiction might become a solution.

I think that is why people or some players withdraw from the casinos or cancel their account so as not to gamble again. They prefer to do that before falling into temptation, which seems very difficult to me, because in part they are protecting themselves, but they know that their emotions, that their mind will lead them to fall into this again. I think that this type of thing is quite strong for people who suffer from it. In any addiction, whatever it may be, it is very difficult to get out of them, but not impossible. I think that everything begins with willpower.

All I can say here is that despite loosing, you were probably gambling responsibly and didn't go out of your budget, if you are that type that doesn't listen to gambling management, you will probably go broke and nobody will even advice you to quit, you will stop and delete anything that has to do with gambling forever.
Gambling isn't something you and then stop. It's not something you even quit when you win even though you have made some losses and made everything back. Just gamble responsibly and you will enjoy gambling on the long run because the more you play, the more expert you become with different style and logics to win.
A close friend of mine that's a gambler once said that most gamblers quit before the big win, this is quite a funny statement but it's actually what propels gambling addiction, this causes some sort of dependency syndrome that would make it hard to let go off because they are expecting to become successful from any of their multiple trials. just like you said it's difficult to stop but risk management can help you minimize your losses

Gamblers should not gamble in the hopes of winning big. This thought may influence his gambling rate because he will continue to gamble without pausing between sessions. The reason is that the more you gamble, the closer your payday gets. As you mentioned, he will develop a gambling addiction as a result of the constant fuelling of his gambling habit.
I have observed that winning is difficult when you have a strong desire to win. Over-desperation can cause a gambler to lose his sense of analytical thinking, making every game a potential win for him because he is too desperate to even dictate some of the risk in the games he is playing. Similarly, such a gambler is more likely to gamble without conducting adequate research. To him, winning comes from not giving up, and as long as you keep gambling, you will win regardless of whether you research or not.

Attempting to quit gambling is like attempting to quit pornography, it's near impossible.in my almost 15years of research about gambling, I have seen people uninstall betting app and reinstall after few hours. I have also seen people swear with their life never to be involved with gambling again but yet to become more active than ever.
Quitting gambling needs a lot of therapy and an alternative source of income

I could remember way back when I was always gambling without luck and run at loss almost every time that I gamble. This will make me say to myself I will quit gambling, but after a while, I will think of gambling and I will try to hold myself back, which happens. But my mind will keep telling me to gamble, and after somedays I will gamble again. Same thing will happen and I will repeat the same words again. This happened to me over and over again, but look at me now I am still gambling and having fun with it. Have this ever happened to you that you said you will quit gambling but didn't.
Why is it that, it is when a gambler is losing that he always think of quitting.
Well, I must say as a gambler there are two things you must be experiencing which includes profit and lose and as a gambler when profiting you would always want to continue gambling but when at loss you think about quitting at all cost, but when winning you will always want to continue gambling without applying risk caution.
When a gambler control their risk factor it gives them an edge to gamble moderately and we terms be gambling so aggressively to make winning, you must not entirely be looking at the winning aspects but your heart should be open to accept the both game either you lose or you win that is one thing about gambling, but even as that you must know that gambling is a game of fun and not a game to generate income or sources from it.
Although at sometimes you experience the loss and also winning, but the most important thing is that the fun you are having even though you lose you wouldn't attached much feelings to it.

I have had many experiences when someone said they would stop gambling, but at the same time they continued to gamble. I have seen this a lot from my friends who said exactly that, but a few months, weeks or even days later they would gamble again.
This is indeed a very difficult thing to do, even though it can be said to be very easy. It takes effort to be able to really stop, even though they can't actually be called addicts.

Nobody wants to loose forever. People tends to invest in things that brings profits or earn them more money. So when you make an investment, it's not profitable. The best is to quit. Same way when one is losing in gambling that he decides to quit.

When you are addicted to something,it can be anything like gambling or online game, or social media or drug it is not easy to get rid of that thing that has happened or is happening to you.
But if you do not have an addiction and if you do not face much loss from gambling. And if you are in control of yourself and gamble with a certain amount that you can afford to lose, then I do not think there is anything wrong with it. If your mind keeps telling you to gamble, you can do it, but on a limit.

Of course, imagine something that you are usw fo ams you gain pleasure from it, it will be near impossible for you to give it up especially, it's not affecting you negatively because you are not an addict. I gamble once a week currently and that's because I love gambling if not I would just stopped because I am very busy this period.

People won't invest money in gambling. Gambling is not a place for investment. If you want to invest your money, buy Bitcoin or Ethereum. You also can buy physical assets such as land, Gold, property, or etc.
When we are talking about gambling, it is mostly like playing games. You must know that playing games mostly just spend money. Especially in gambling games, some games rely on the luck only. There is no guarantee for the win, there is no certain time for winning the prizes. So, it doesn't make sense if you are talking about investing in gambling.
If you don't want to get losses or waste money. Kindly avoid playing gambling.

You can't stop gambling just by saying it with your mouth it's beyond just saying but it's through self discipline and taking steps to make sure that you gradually leave gambling because it's not something that can be achieved in one day but it's a process that can take time
One thing we need to know is that gambling is addictive so it's not easy leaving gambling in one day because gambling is like a spirit or alcohol so it's intoxicating in nature so it will not be easy to leave gambling but through self control and discipline coupled with some strict regulations that you give yourself such as not going close to a gambling hall or even opening a gambling site on your phone

Moving back to the way we enjoy what we consider as pleSPAM BANble, which is natural provided it does not destroy the rest of our lives. But if we can keep things in balance and not let fun become our main focus while we are trying to meet our main and more important obligations, there is nothing wrong with having fun in between. The most important thing is not to allow the habit to develop into something that one cannot control or influences various aspects of live. However, as well know many of these fun activities can be done side by side with the other important aspects in our daily schedule. It is necessary to know when you are already exhausted and everything depends only on you in order to keep everything is good.

It is wrong to see gambling as an investment except you wish to establish a betting site then it can be an investment. For the players, it is malnourished thinking that you can throw stakes and get returns all the time from gambling. Since this is not possible regardless of any strategy whatsoever used then gambling shouldn't count as a business in the mind of any gambler.
I know that majority of gamblers thinks of making money whenever they gamble but this thinking is not always manifesting and even the few wins are always returned overtime to the betting sites so at the end of the day the profit is always in the hands of the betting site.
