What can be a cue to stop gambling?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I think when someone tends to gamble more frequently could also be a cue too. Because how often a person gamblers should have a limit, maybe once a day, if you really enjoy gambling that much or if they have free time more often to gamble, but when a person gamblers more often or discovers he spends more time in gambling to the extent that it even interrupts or prevents him from doing other important things, then we can consider that to be a red flag or a cue that the person shoulf take a break for a while, because proceeding further with such attitude could lead to addiction.

You should know it is your cue to stop gambling if;
- Gambling is no longer fun.
- Gambling is now more for making money than for fun.
- Gambling is causing a rift in family relationships.
- Gambling is now becoming impulsive.

what other situations should be taken as cue to stop gambling?

But there are very few that consider gambling as fun activities , remember that everyone enters gambling to win so I believe that there is no way that we can consider this as funny things when we are losing our money (with small chance of winning)

   - Gambling is becoming impulsive - this is always impulsive each time you drop bets and win or lose.


   - Gambling causing Rift in family relation - there is always a rift in family not even from gambling.

those other 2 are already given so I need no to address .

All these mentioned above could not be enough reason to stop gambling because they are things we can control from our own personal end and not what gambling itself offers us which were at the expense of things we dislike, gambling is for fun, not a means of making money, its not a venture or an enterprise, if we are looking towards curbing for addiction in it, then we have to apply some serious means to tackle some of the ways that we are gambling in other for us to have positive impact from it.

I think that an addicted person who wants to quit can't quit suddenly, it's done little by little. It would be great if someone had the strength to face their problem and quit once and for all, but since not everyone has that fortitude and mental strength, sometimes you have to change your gambling habits. That is, if an addicted person is aware that they want to quit, it's better to look for much shorter periods of time than they had before. Also, if you're doing things this way, it means spending less money and doing other activities that consume that time you were dedicating to gambling. I think that could be a solution.

Yeah I agree, to change is not that easy or instant we need time to fully recover from being addicted to gambling. This change should atleast taken into account very seriously because if not it will just fail and continue as usual. To change is to do it not just say it. Diverting our attention to something else other than gambling might also help, keeping ourselves busy on things that will make us productive is a smart way to deal with addiction and is a stepping stone to quitting from our gambling activities.

If the person already has nothing else to bet, he would have no other option but to stop at once. U less he still will bet his life and take a loan from the casino thugs. Those loansharks will remove his eyes and sell them to the blackmarket if he can't pay on time.

Having no money is enough of a cue to stop playing. You wouldn't have to lose anything more to rethink where his path is going.

I think that is reason enough to quit, although I have seen people who run out of money and look for money, sell things, start taking out different types of credits and loans, that is when the biggest problems begin on the way to an imminent addiction , and it seems unbelievable, but sometimes the game makes people like that, they don't care if they eat or not, what matters to them is playing and satisfying their need, which seems very dangerous to me, because that brings the biggest possible Consequences.

Depression and mental instability are also big cues to stop gambling. In gambling, earning money is a must; now people won't gamble without money. If we look back, people used gambling just for their happiness and mental peace, but now, boys have made it very different and difficult. If I compare people of that time and now, I can clearly pick up the idea that people in the past were very happy in gambling as compared to now. People bond themselves to money, and when they don't get enough money, they start overthinking, which kills their mental peace. So be careful with that and stop before it ends your life.

Gamblers are just impulsive though. Many of the gambling addicts quit a thousand times and they think its easy to do thats why they sare trying to quit every time they lose money.

It occurs to me every time I losses an amount.  Though I dont consider myself an addict I am quiting as well. The temptation is hard to resist when sometimes I think its my lucky day.

Yes, in fact when something like this happens to us, to have a bad experience, the quickest and most logical impulse is to stop playing, and that is like a reflex, particularly we are people who take care that bad, ugly things do not happen to us, and we protect ourselves in some way, and although most people are like that, there is also another group who think that they will lose, it is like you say, they keep trying until they realize that they are addicts and they think that the problem escalates to a much higher level, because they will not recover the money, and it becomes a problem that can affect many people.

The way some people see the bad side of gambling is like they now see it as doing drugs but if you look at it, some people are been pain because they couldn't win from the casino, they are taking their money and since they see it that way, they make way for it to be ban when the government alone is making millions from the tax these companies are paying to them.

Gambling has come to stay but if we are to consider the safety aspect of it, there should be a limitation to somethings and not eradicate it completely, they should mandate casino with rules to protect the players so they don't become addicted from playing.

Imho the cues to stop gambling are: becoming more independable from money (I mean one month salary) and having change of circle of interests. With that, a person would focus on other things more than on gambling (or he wont have time for gambling at all). As well as money issue (losing and trying to win back), will no longer bother a person.

[Igebotz]

The cue to stop gambling is for the gambler to set a financial limit on what they are to spend or earn on gambling. They shouldn't exceed that even if they lose or win.

Another stop factor is for the gambler to have a time limit for any of their gambling days. Like they are to gambling at their leisure time between an hour or two

I agree with you. Controlling gambling addiction requires strict time and financial limits. Both must go together; without a time limit, it will be difficult to adhere to a financial limit. For example, if I do not set a time limit for a gambling section but then set a financial limit, I may find it difficult to stop gambling if I believe I have more time to gamble. When this thought occurs, the next step is to exceed the financial limit, which will jeopardize the financial limit that was established.

It is preferable to set a time limit and then save more money by failing to meet the financial limit rather than exceeding it. Overall, setting financial and time limits is as important as exercising self-control and discipline. Without self-control and discipline, it is extremely difficult to stick to a limit, especially when a gambler is losing. This is because most gamblers are in the habit of constantly attempting to recoup losses.

Many gamblers can't stop. They having come to the casino with a certain amount on deposit, dream of doubling it. And when they actually manage to do this, playing roulette or poker, they do not withdraw this money. Such a gambler thinks: it was so easy! After which he again hopes to double this amount. And this is contrary to all laws of logic. After all, according to mathematics, after this you need to leave the casino.

[MUGNIA]

In my opinion, the reason why people stop gambling is because they have run out of money and have a family, where if someone truly loves their family, they will definitely leave things that will destroy their family.
