I will quite gambling... Easy said than done

[PX-Z]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
