There's a popular  remark among gamblers in the part of  my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose".  They use this statement to encourage and give futuristic hope to themselves that no matter how much they loss today or how many wagers they have lost they don't need to quit as it's possible you may be the next jackpot winner tomorrow. For it's like say don't quit yet there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

From what I observed from this statement is that, many of these gamblers have been misled by this very remark of a hypothetical hope which has liquidated their account.  While some who would have quit gambling long ago still hedge their hope on the idea behind the statement and keeps wagering.

Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?

When it comes to gambling activity then on the time that you are already addicted then you wouldn't really care about those lines or statements on which you've been hearing off even if it would came from on your home country but honestly those are just those common lines that we do hear off globally when it comes to gambling addiction connected things like,. It is really that very common
about gambling addiction and on the time that you are been bust up or wrecked that bad with gambling then this is the time that you would really be stopping since you dont have the money
that you could use with your gambling activity.

If you were sensible enough and been wary with your action then you wouldn't really be doing these things in the first place on which you would be able to stop midway if you wanted to.
But if you are that kind of individual on whose arent really that good on handling your emotions and having that control on your mind then most likely you would really
be ending up with this path.

That's a rediculous statement and I live by this one "you have to know when to hold them and when to fold them".  Quiting isn't losing, continuing to lose is losing lol.  Chasing bad bets one after another is literally the reason why people go belly up.  If you lose move on there's another day.

It is halfway correct because it is true that if one is about to stop gambling then there will be no next time for him to win and recover his losses.  While it is true, most cases often result to more losses and only a few individuals tends to win and recover their losses in such action.

I believe this statement is a marketing ploy in order for the players continue.  I believe the statement is only truthfully applicable to life challenges since quitters never beceom victorious in their endeavors in life.  But to use it in a gambling platfrom, it is obvious that it is just a marketing strategy.


I have not heard anything but gambling respinsibly.


Nope, my life my decision, I won't let any other people influenced my decision especially when it does not align with my moral.

I agree with your statement that quiting isn't losing. A gambler must not lose huge amount of stakes before he'll be qualified to win a bet. When one isn't seeing any possibility of winning a particular bet then quiting is surely the best thing in other not to incur more loses

Lol I mean do people really contemplate this saying as having some sort of deep meaning in their "gambling space"? I mean I could walk in to a Casino tomorrow with $10,000 dollars and play a few slots, maybe some blackjack, or some roulette, maybe bet a few sports games and then walk out of the casino with $110,000 and decide to quit gambling forever.  Well then technically I'm still up.

I kind of joke and understand what you mean, but as always, just only ever gamble with funds you're willing to lose.

^ My own opinion is, in many cases, quitting gambling after consistent losses can be a wise decision to protect one's financial well-being and mental health. It is important to recognize the potentially addictive nature of gambling and the negative consequences it can have on individuals and their relationships. Responsible gambling involves setting limits, knowing when to walk away, and seeking help if gambling becomes problematic.
I am thinking that gambling cultures and traditions differ across regions, and there may be localized sayings or expressions used among gamblers. These statements can range from superstitions to motivational phrases aimed at urging gamblers to stop when they are losing based on what I see them.

It depends on the circumstances that surround the decision because sometimes quilting also means bravery at least to save yourself some stress and cool off most especially in gambling because if you don't quit some time you experience two things which are.

1: is either you slide into addiction trying to chase a win at some point or trying to recover your losses and this ultimately results in possible addictions.

2: you keep losing more since your mental health will be affected due to incessant record of loses.

Funny but its the bitter truth which most gamblers fail to understand and it takes a good and healthy mind to fully understand this your proverb of yours  because most of them are  blinded by this same theory of tomorrow is a better day for gambling. While their bank account bleed by that constant trial to actually get that escape or should I say dept which gamblers claim casino which they have lost money is owing them.

The moment I read this I already had a judgement on just how dumb the idea is. I reckon the idea came because people can't know the future, so until you try you'd never know what may actually happen. The thing is, this directly invalidates a person's capability of making their own judgment, especially in this case where you've already tried, but you won't quit cause well, you never know, it "may" actually just work. Decide for yourself, use your own judgment. You're losing? That's fine, but again, decide for yourself. You're winning? The same thing, decide for yourself. Just don't let dumb sayings sway your decision-making (and greed), especially in gambling. It's for entertainment, treat it like one.

This is how gambling addiction starts. It is irresponsible gambling starts. I have not heard about such gambling mantras in my country but I bet that in whichever country this was said, it was started by a group of gambling addicts without any plans to tackle the addiction when it kicks. Well this is for those who are majorly into sports betting. I know that casinos gamblers are not shielded from these saying either but at least there is always a message in online casino websites for people to gamble responsibly.

Thats completely wrong perspective on gambling. Very few get lucky whereas the majority end up losing their entire funds. Gambling isn't the right place where we should carry the never give up mentality. A statements is misleading when the outcome of the statement doesn't suits with the majority. If I'm not wrong those people who describe those terms to be successful were the people appointed to promote gambling in those region. If not, they're people who are gamblers who want to make others experience what they've experienced.

Not all quitters are winners and not all winners are quitters. Perhaps if you're into deep into gambling, quitting might actually be winning for you. You get to prevent a lot of unnecessary spending and a lot of possible negative emotions that may arise during your next gambling sessions.

It shouldn't be taken too literal, and that's what everyone should take into account. Quitting something doesn't automatically default you to a loss and that's what people should understand more.

very well-said. this is a very subjective one. for most, quitting is winning as they can put their money to more worthwhile investments and they can focus on what they want to do in life to be a better version of themselves.
i guess most people will agree to totally quit on gambling and live their life outside of it.

There's a thread that wants gambler to quit and there goes this thread that has a quote in your hometown encouraging people not to quit or else, they're losers.

My decision is my decision.

I will not allow someone to get on touch with my decision because I am already a grown up and I know what's best for me. Either someone says that gambling is terribly bad and I may lose a lot of money.

I knew that from the very start but I am not that type of gambler that will allow it to happen.

A message that almost all gamblers tend to ignore. I am shocked you said you have not heard of such saying because its quite popular over here in my place and the funny part is that this term was not actually meant for gambling purpose as one can apply these words in so many fields of life. But gamblers (addictive ones) have turn the saying into an anthem used for deceiving themselves that they are going to hit the jackpot one day and if they quite they will never get to see that day come by.

definitely this is a very wrong thought and many people make this mistake in business because they think that giving up is a weakness when in fact the person needs to be strong and very courageous to know when to give up, in the case of games of chance this sentence does not work It makes little sense because we all know that gambling like lottery and casino games depend on luck, so it's something that is out of the players' control, so every player should play just for fun, nothing more than that. the player when he puts the money in the casino then he must be aware that that money will not return anymore

the chances of him coming back are very low, so with that thought there will be nothing to think about giving up because from the beginning he is playing just to have fun, he has no expectations, of course in the future that person can stop playing, it is very different from giving up because you were disappointed or thinking that you shouldn't give up because you still have hope that one day you will win a jackpot, I see that lottery players are the people most likely to think that they shouldn't give up, that's why I easily see people with more 10 years old playing the lottery every day

My opinion is that one is supposed to be mature enough not to let oneself get influenced because the opinion of others, specially when comes to something as personal as one's money and how it is supposed to be used.

I believe that every gambler ideally should be aware at least at some minimal degree on how the laws of the numbers and probabilities work, because there is no scientific proof or consensus that to continue to play indefinitely would eventually translate onto profit, not even mention a life changing jackpot.

It better just to keep expectations low and enjoy the experience of gambling itself, even better if it is shared with family and friends.

I would say that quitting is actually booking your profits in case you are on the winning side and also quitting your game means saving you from more loses in case you are already losing.

Usually in gambling people think that it is an art if you are able to quit and also if you know to quit, means that you are not an gambling addict.

If you keep on playing and do not think of quitting, then for sure you will lose all your balance / money in gambling.

In my opinion it's totally wrong, because it sounds like "chase your losses until the end" to me.

Yes, there are similar sayings here in our country to inspire confidence on the person, but I've never heared such sayings being used towards gambling, specifically. We tend to say these things when we want to encourage someone to not give up a challenge or difficult they are facing on their private, professional or financial life.

These sayings don't affect me on the gambling matter. I know my limits, and nobody else. To say this to a gambler sounds more like a challenge than an encouragement. When people want to challenge each other here in our country they tend to appeal to masculinity. If the person retreats, it means he isn't a man for real... But that is all bullshit which influence only the weak minds.

You know this quote as you put it has been memed out in ironic meme pages on Twitter and Facebook. Something along the lines of "99% of Gamblers quit before getting their big win, don't be one of them" which is funny but also stupid at the same time. It's supposed to be a tongue in cheek remark at how most gamblers wouldn't have the capacity to stop gambling cause they keep chasing that win when as a matter of fact avoiding losses is just as important. Anywho, the statement's not correct, it's stupid and is a quote that fuels/encourages these already addicted gamblers to push through their limits even more when they could've just avoided the losses in the first place and go home at least able to save something for themselves or their families. No one should follow it at any costs.

In gambling Quitting is a very good and strategic thinking because we all know that not all the time we put our bet we always the winner.  So if we quit that's not mean we are the loser but we quit because we have the professional mindset. And also I do believe that those gambler who have a discipline in their self then they are the victorious.
And we must also remember that we gamble for fun and not for profit.

And this what makes gambling industry becomes so profitable just because they are really that having that kind of advantage when it comes to this common behavior of most gamblers on which trying out to chase
winning and trying out to chase their losses and trying out to break even.Its sad but this had been the common scenario on which people would really be experiencing on which on the time that they would quit
then this is the time when they are losing that much on which coming into a point that they had already messed up entirely their lives before they do able to realize it.
Quit or stop if you cant be able to afford to lose more, continue if you do decide to play for fun and leisure.It all matters on your perspective because not all would really be
going in line with that intent.

The meaning is very deep, even more than gamblers think. Maybe this can also be interpreted provocatively. And a gambler who has not been able to manage himself well in gambling will easily swallow this sentence. Dan felt that it was too early to quit and should have continued, who knows who would have won the next turn. And so on until they become addicted to gambling. This provocative sentence is only one of the triggers because in fact there are many other things that make it difficult for someone to quit gambling.

In general, if you quit gambling, that's for your good. It means you are out of risk of losing. However, it is also true that if you quit, you would also lose all chances of winning, of hitting the jackpot, of possibly recovering your losses. But those are mere possibilities. If you take your chances at those possibilities, it means you will also risk losing more. So it's either you can recover or your losses will grow further.

Technically, the expression is right, but not worth taking. I'd rather advise those who want to quit gambling to just do it, quit. The expression is like the gambling joke here which says if you are not lucky with the money you got from pawning your car, try your motorcycle, the luck might be there. But if you're not, try your television set, who knows it's where your lucky money is. If you're still unlucky, try pawning your refrigerator, you might be lucky there. This goes on and would include your house, your lot, and your other properties.

While the joke has logic and is correct in one way or another, there are priorities. And as reasonable people, gambling is the least of them.

That statement would only give gamblers false hope, and in my country, there's no other similar statement and it's better that we don't have any because bettors need to be more aware.

I prefer to ignore them because i'd start to overthink if I allow myself to be affected by these statements. And gamblers should know that playing longer is what casinos want us to do because the longer we play, the more likely the house edge kicks into our gameplay.

Let's have a counter to that. "If you believe that saying, then you are a fool."

This is a big mistake because it leads to getting rekt or worst being an addict and doing bad stuff just to be able to get some money in any way possible. Quitting is setting yourself free from all of that and that includes the stress of playing all day and ending up just losing before the day ends.
Quitting also gives you more time for your family, more chores that could be done, being productive, and more.
It's actually the other way around, when you quit that's when you "win" not lose. We all know that the house would not let us win big money except if we are excessively lucky to hit a big pot and then walk away.

Now, that's a crazy saying you got there, the complete opposite. Lol. When you quit that is when you can stop your losses. Gamblers in our community don't have saying whatsoever. They are just saying it's their habit and just go on even if they lose, that's gambling, it's a matter of luck, better luck next time, that's what I always heard from them.

I used to hear this a lot when I used to actively play in gambling shops.

it is somewhat true, I mean if you continue to gamble there is still a chance that you could win a jackpot or be on a winning streak and earn back all your losses and possibly be in profits, while if you quit, you lose that chance of winning back the money you have lost to gambling. that being said, continuing to gamble will most likely lead to more loses and in the end you will be in far worse situation than before.

That statement was coming from someone who is being obsessed with winning the jackpot caused by they can't accept their loss. It's not like that. As a smart gambler and you shall also be aware if there is a time when you are able to win and accept your loss. It's not about when you quit and you were losing the game.
You can comeback anytime to play that. The main reason if you must be able controlling your emotion. I can't agree with it caused because if there will always be a time for you to win the game. That being said that no matter how big you losses and you will always get another chance to win it again.
I can't relate with that statement. Anyone can play gambling but it's not anyone can become a smart gambler who can read the situation. You are also having your real life. You can play gambling normally without even ruining your life.

I think that if that statement was coming from someone who is being frustated caused by they are feeling so hard in accepting the loss in the game. Take it easy.

Will people still call you as a looser after you won a jackpot?

This phrase is not applicable to all. Just imagine you already lost a million dollars and someone told you this. For sure, you'll be pissed off. This only applies to something that you dreamed of and not only based on luck, like saving to buy a Bitcoin and also other life stuff, because it can boost your motivation and really you can achieve it, unlike in gambling where you'll lose more for sure.

Every profession or sector has different motivational words that help members to keep moving regardless of diverse setbacks. I like your country's popular saying. "If you quit that's when you lose " will help bettors have hope that the future will be better. It encourages us not to lose hope or harm ourselves because of today or past losses because tomorrow might favor us. But these words could contribute to gambling addiction. There is always a time to evaluate our gambling life to check if we need to stop, reduce or continue gambling. And the truth is that there is no guarantee that the future will be better in gambling. I appreciate this adage but we have to still apply wisdom and knowledge to our gambling life.

I don't know any popular statement that gamers use to encourage themselves in my area. But I will not allow any public sentiment or popular saying to determine my gambling life without proper evaluation of the statement. I will not move with the crowd until I am sure that they are moving in the right direction. If a popular saying is positive, I will gladly apply them, but if they are not beneficial, it will be ditched.

There will always be encouraging quotes that people can misunderstand as applicable to them to give them solace. The statement is correct but not applicable to gambling if you ask me. In gambling you should know when to pause, slow down, give it a break or possibly quit if you notice the dangers it is causing you, your finance or your family.  Gamblers who have a problem slowing down or stopping to gamble use statements like this to give themselves some kind of consolation and motivation to continue gambling even when it is putting them at risk. It should not be so.

how I wonder where do you live? because it seems that every people in your community or at least majority is gambling addict .
imagine you have that kind of saying? if you don't quit then you will lose more than quitting earlier.
actually what i do believe? that the one who started that quote is either gambling owner or a part of the team in which wanted people to gamble completely with their life.
never that I heard this in gambling , though in real life this is truly adopted because it is indeed that never quit for us to achieve our goal but that is in practical life.

Is it really among the gamblers alone or its just a life quote which is generally used to Motivate career of individuals like when someone thinks that they could become an inventor of something that they are dreaming where it is more relevant but to "gambling the statement is irrelevant" and I would say anyone have that kind of agenda are stupid or severely addicted to bet and use these kind of words to hide from the shame of others.

For gambling it should be you can also stop when you win and you doesn't have to wait for hitting the jackpot to quit, you are safe when your risk appetite is under control and you are not burning any more money than you are supposed to do.

Gambling is played by some as a hobby while others take it as a profession. The saying applies to those who take up gambling as their profession. Gambling is an addiction of greed. Those who are direct gamblers will continue to gamble until they can withdraw the money once they lose. As the saying goes,if you can't do it once,it has happened hundreds of times. As I said above those who make gambling their profession will never quit gambling. You will see gamblers who after losing money take many loans and then gamble sometimes stop gambling for 2/3 months and start gambling again. The statement is true for those who are actually gamblers. This statement would never happen to me or you because if you or I gambled for a day or two and lost it would not encourage us because a fear must act inside us. There are people around me whom I influence in various ways to stop them from gambling.

It is good advice to follow if you want to lose all your money and more, or even go into debt and lose what you borrow.

It is some of the biggest nonsense you can hear in gambling, where whoever says it and whoever believes it doesn't understand anything about probability, nor does it follow the basic principles that apply to gambling: play for fun, or entertainment and with money you can afford to lose, do not place false hopes in gambling.

Actually it's the other way around.

In gambling you can not win, and if you win you will most likely lose it back. I am not talking about a skill game like poker where you can actually have an edge against other players.

When you play against the house, there is no way in the long run.

So, quitting is the only way to win to be honest. People are chasing losses and dig a deeper hole by doing so. Just moving on with your life and quit of course doesn't bring you back the money you lost but will prevent you from burning more. It sounds harsh but it's the truth.

" If you quit  that's when you lose!" is something casino managers or people that want you to play would say just to keep you playing. Not more and not less.

I think as a gambler if you are doing exactly what people says, you are making a mistake. Gambling to me is like cheating in life. You understand what I mean. Anyways yeah, we have some sayings about gambling. People sometimes say that not gambling is a win already. Sadly as many cultures, anti-gambling sayings are more common. But I think "you lose when you quit" is very dangerous mindset that I wouldn't follow.

Not intended for gambling.
In any game, this sentence is said to players or athletes when the position is about to give up with the aim of fueling enthusiasm.
The purpose of this statement requires us to continue fighting. If used in gambling, then that person will continue to spend all his wealth into gambling.

One of the mindsets of rich people in living their lives is to avoid gambling.

Not entirely correct although the reason to quit is because of losing is more higher than quit when profit.

If the gambler can't quit when they already make some profit, they will end up quit in losing because the longer you gamble, the higher chance you will lose due to house edge. You need to set up a realistic winning first, like quit after double or triple your money, if you quit only when you hit the jackpot, almost of your gambling activity will always in lose.

AFAIK, day traders had a similar statement. "If you sell, that's when you lose." Maybe day trading has some similarities with gambling.
This is clearly a delusion. Gambling isn't supposed to be about winning or losing. It's supposed to be about having fun, escaping from your everyday problems, relaxing and chillin. The moment you start thinking about making money via gambling that's when you have already lost.
I wouldn't allow my decisions to be influenced by anyone else(especially when it comes about personal finance and how I spend my money).

Brother, not with gambling, this is not something that needs your every might so that you can be the next jackpot winner tomorrow,  chasing this will even get you no where fast, gambling is something you need to participate in for fun, it's not something worth dreaming about, jackpot you say? Don't quit and keep losing for eternity, some people have been in gambling since 2013 and till date, they never hit the jackpot, They have some luck but the amount is just something called a win, not life-changing.

If you are the type that doesn't like giving up on something, please don't let it be gambling, not giving up on something means you believe you will get something out of it, make sure you are not trying to make it big with gambling, you will get yourself killed by depression and other.

Don't give up on trading, because it's skill-based.

Don't give up on investment because it needs discipline.

These are still better than something that entirely depends on luck, two sides of a coin and you have one side to pick, the chances are too slim.

Yeah, I think it's a popular mantra by die hard gamblers, but if you look at it, very wrong to me. I mean you can quit when you are still on top and had money in your wallet. So who would like to go to sleep without money and losing big?

And obviously, since this is gambling, we really don't know what the outcome will be. There could be someone who thinks YOLO and go all in. I can't blame him/her for that. But if you are going to used logic here, it's better to go home while you are in the positive side.

You have already lost when you lose your money. And if you stop gambling, you have lost and it is difficult to recover from that loss. It's just a statement that has grown among gamblers so they think that if they don't stop, they can still have a chance to win. But it's not as easy as we imagine because the defeat will remain beside the victory we can't always get. I don't think it's a problem for us because if you want to stop, you should be able to stop and not have to think about any statements. After all, it's your money and your responsibility. Why should you care about all the statements that develop in gambling?

In fact that in my country and I believe in many others to be the opposite,if you quit you start not losing anymore as you don't gamble again.While when you gamble their futuristic hope of doing better in the coming sessions is just a false sense of security and false hope to make people get back to gambling.The best statement I know is "if you quit then you start winning" and there is solid reasonable logic behind this statement,when you quit the money that you would use for gambling go elsewhere and you don't lose money anymore,this for me and many others is a win situation.

This is a pretty reckless statement because just imagine if someone listened to this statement and really didn't give up even though he had lost a lot, it would not only destroy him but also the people around him because we know that people who are addicted to gambling will be more aggressive and have no common sense. So in gambling it's good to know the limits and when to stop. Because if someone keeps pushing to win, usually in the end that person will keep losing and won't get anything.

Everyone has a reason to quit not only because he lost or won the jackpot, I have never had a problem when I saw someone quit gambling because he had his own reason, moreover we never know what is someone's reason for gambling. after all, stopping gambling does not mean losing, in fact, they are winning, they can get out of gambling.

There is no defeat for someone who stops gambling let alone getting the jackpot, because people who can control themselves in gambling will be even better, because by controlling themselves so they don't play gambling all the time I think he is the winner, he can win himself from greed and emotion . I can control myself when playing gambling when to play when to stop gambling.

It's popular remark for gamblers but I would agree with what the majority says, it's not true. When you quit if you have money then how will you lose then? It just make gamblers more addicted to it if you have this mindset in my opinion.

Everything is based on pure luck though, so you will not know what is going to be the outcome. And for the majority, maybe it's better to stop at some point and quit if you are winning and then just continue to play tomorrow, simply as that.

Well, have anyone done the math?

Let's say you gamble $300 per day (yea, I know most people do not have that money) and you played every day for say 20 years... and then suddenly you win the Jackpot of say $2 000 000.  ::)

So... over 20 years you gambled away $2 190 000 to eventually win $2 000 000. (Remember... you win and lose, but you kept on gambling, so you lost whatever you won too)

Yes, it was a time killer and entertainment for some people.... but the more you play, the more you lose and the losses added up, eats into your big jackpot some day in the future.  ::)

Really ? This quote is just sarcasm for the gambler.

I'm a gambler, but also sometimes do sarcasm against other gamblers. Don't gambler using the quote, but using your financial economy and at least some streght to hold the tempted emotion especially while you are losing.

To make sure, not deposit, deposit and keep doing that.

I think this statement should be used with everything else but not with gambling, because in gambling, you keep losing as long as you don't quit, it isn't a struggle to reach the top or get to a treasure that is untouched, the largest percentage of gamblers tend to lose more money than they manage to win even if they keep gambling for their whole lives, not every gambler can hit a jackpot that will earn them everything they've lost back and they will be at the same position where they started their journey.

So people shouldn't really take this as a motivation and keep gambling their money away because it doesn't apply to everyone and only a few out of millions manage to get life-changing amounts of money through gambling and you don't necessarily need to be one of those people.

Quitting isn't a sign of weakness and defeat. Sometimes quitting means you are courageous enough to acknowledge the thought that it isn't for you and it isn't doing any good for you. I've encountered that phrase so much and I really think that it beings so many misconceptions because of the false positivity it brings. It isn't really wrong to stop what you are doing when you think you've already tried enough. If something no longer adds value to your life, then quitting is the safe thing to make. If you know when to stop and when to continue gambling then there's nothing to worry about because it's unlikely for you to fall for bad habits if you have self-restraint.

You sound very optimistic it seems with your calculation. Your dream of making it big I hope comes true after 20 years. By the way 20 years is a big time and in today's unpredictable & uncertain world no one can guarantee what will happen next day. Gambling cannot be a way of life, it can be a choice of entertainment. Anyways your sarcastic calculation needed a sarcastic 😜 serious reply.

"If you quit you are a loser" - that works only when you are trying hard to achieve something. I doubt that this can be related to gambling, as gamblers are not achieving, they are trying to earn. I think that in connection with gambling, it would be better to say "if you quit you are a winner", meaning you have beaten formed or rising addiction. That "if you quit that's when you lose" seems to be artificially created by casinos and play on human greed :D Speaking about my country, the only statement that is used towards gambling is "beginner's luck".

Maybe I also often read and hear a similar saying, which reads:

But the statement was broken by other words of wisdom.
That is:

My understanding for your statement ( "if you quit that's when you lose"). That is a person's repentance and identity, they realize that the casino will get everything. 'stop gambling' is a choice to live a normal and healthy life, not vice versa to lose.

 One thing most gamblers should understand is that gambling is a business and as such, these peeps would use all the marketing strategy method available so that they can keep their customers but like every gambling establishment would say that you should gamble responsibly, they would prefer you keep playing, because in that way, you keep them richer.
Know when to back out after a loss because the truth is, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose and it's not the amount of hope you give yourself that the next one will be the jackpot that would determine your winning.
 

This is true, but we are talking about gambling here... if we don't stop/quit in some moments we can lose a lot more. Taking breaks is a good thing, in gambling and all other activities. I know that most of us have experience with "pushing too much", and we know it's a double-edged sword. We get carried away and we forget about "responsible gambling", and in most cases that turns out to be a bad decision.

There's nothing wrong with stopping or entirely quitting gambling. When losses pile up and it starts to harm your financial situation, it's better to give up than to sink even deeper.

I think this old adage or saying is not just for gambling, it might have been used for like in a business. But still though if this is for gambling then it could be wrong in my opinion. And most likely why there are a lot of gamblers losing money because they don't quit or stop when they have still have a lot of money and winning.

And then regret later because they made a bad decision and it became cyclical for them to go on and continue the next day even if their financial situation is not that good and so they sink deeper and deeper until they can't get back on their feet.

I think if you quit and realize there are lots of opportunities to be rich without gambling, is a wise decision because you are not only putting yourself to pursue real happiness, but you also choose not to rush things which is a praiseworthy trait. There are lots of things to consider to continue playing and there are lots of risks to take but when you quit and decided to search the fun and other things that have a low risk to get addicted, then it would be nice for you to do so especially when you are a person who doesn't have enough money to live your life to the fullest.

That's just a bullshit motivation, when you stop you are able to take full control of the bet, instead of continuing it until you are poor. Usually, the person who says this is so that he has friends who continue to gamble, and don't want to let other people control the stakes. Precisely when you are able to stop, either for a moment or long enough, it shows that person is better than an addicted gambler.


Where I live these words are often heard, and in accordance with what I suspect that these words actually come from the mouths of gamblers who have lost everything. Until plunging others to experience the same fate, as naturally. To be honest, these words cannot be justified, instead of encouraging people to continue betting, I want to make this an example for anyone who wants to stop gambling.

Nothing like that exist since in gambling we can't say if we quit we lose since it will just pile up our possible losses and we might get pressured to win especially if we listen to the taunt and cheering up of your friends. Just enjoy the game since this will be more ideal to us and if we decide to quit at what ever cost then its good since it only means that we are aware about possible worst outcome that nay came to us and quitting is not sign of weakness but rather this is smart decision done by people especially when the activities they fo hurt them in financial aspects.

No I will not allow any statement to influence my mind especially about gambling, if I think about quitting then I will stop. Statements made by people from the gambling community near where you live could be the result of despair or it could be because they have entered into addiction, because usually those who are addicted will always think of continuing to gamble regardless of the outcome even when their finances have started to be threatened, and if we have ever met people who have strange slogans in their gambling activities it would be better to ignore because we certainly know that there must be limits in gambling both time limits and money limits used based on each individual's abilities, don't let alone about money even about time if we don't have time limits in gambling it can be very damaging to health and mentality because it is controlled by the same activity over and over again so that it can ignore other things that are important in this life.

Some quotes or adages are not best fit into some situations we may be into, when you're gambling and seeing no results or you're getting addicted gradually and you keep spending on bet without winning over time and some one tells you if you quit you're a loser, that's very ridiculous, those kind of people are those that have been battard by gambling into hopelessness and they will only encourage you as well to continue gambling so that one day you both can be on the same level of rechedness together, they cannot advise you of not quitting when applying for a job, inventing on something or developing an important career in life, we have to wise up, quit or pause gambling when necessary before you're been told to continue or quit.

What about thinking of changing a different strategy in the way you make your predictions. It could be that the reason you are not having the possibility to win in a particular bet is tied to the strategy you're using and just maybe, changing to a new type might bring a big win. In my opinion I think quiting should be the last option for gamblers, except where you have tried many strategies or options and it's still not making a winning that's when quiting becomes the best thing to do.

the statement you mentioned is almost similar to this "luck belongs to him who always daring to take risks".
I'm not sure whether the saying that I mentioned and is so popular in my city has been said by other people here, of course words like this are actually very misleading in the world of gambling because they are not appropriate to be applied to gambling and more precisely to be used in developing real businesses.
regarding this kind of saying I admit that there are many gamblers here who take these words of wisdom seriously and always apply them to themselves to seek big wins or luck but not for me because in gambling I will only use realistic thoughts about bookies who always win gambling is just a place to have fun like. so this mindset keeps me from continuing to gamble every day.

despite many popular statements that are trending nowadays I will never be swayed because I don't take seriously about such statements in the world of gambling.

Gamblers are always having the believe that when they keep on gambling, their will be a day when they are going to hit big amount of money, some of them believe it’s to late for them to stop gambling because of the amount they have lost, but if they keep on trying, then a day will come when they will win back the amount they have lost previously and they will also make good money, that’s why most gamblers are always ending up to be addicted. Gambling is not by force if you know you are losing constantly in gambling, then it’s better you just take a break and wait for another day, but addicted gamblers are always seeing taking of break as giving up which is wrong.

Addicted gamblers use similar statement in my country just to encourage themselves so that they won’t get depressed but the statement is really wrong and misleading, their is no assurance that if you keep on gambling you are going to win big in a day, so statements like this is really misleading and it has landed lots of people in problem.

This reminds me of another famous slogan by investors who say that you don't lose until you sell. With bitcoin it actually makes sens because its long term average price always goes up, so selling it is just taking a price offered at the given time, despite knowing that a year or two from that day it's going to be higher anyway. Usually, when it comes to other investments, the market price at a given time is THE PRICE and if you choose not to accept it, then your funds are effectively frozen for an unknown period of time.

I don't agree that quitting is losing. At some point we are forced to quit because we have no more money to bet. It's not our choice but the reality that we have to face.

If you're not set any target how much you would stop gamble and cash out your winning, you will gamble until all of your money lose. Every game you play has their own house edge, even you're gamble on sport, there's a house edge and not all of your predictions will win. Gambling is full of luck, so you need to control yourself when you're already lucky for making some money, you need to stop because luck isn't always in your side.

If its what motivates you, you can lose a lot of money its better to be wise than brave, I remember one offline casino with that slogan, they tried to entice people into believing that the only way to win to play is to keep playing, the players ended up cursing who created that slogan because before you win a good amount you already lose a considerable amount of money, if you counted everything you've loss its like a pyrrhic victory you win but another win like that and you'll lose everything, that saying is unacceptable it encourage people to be addicted to gambling.
When gambling its better to have your own slogan or something you keep saying to yourself so you avoid harming yourself and your pocket.

I would alter this statement to say, “If you quit having fun, that’s when you lose.” In the end it is important to remember that gambling is a form of entertainment and the purpose for entertainment is to have fun. Whether or not you leave the casino with more or less money isn’t the deciding factor on whether or not you have fun, and if it is then you are likely to experience a bad time gambling, statistically speaking.

I agree with that quote "if you quit that's when you lose" but in a different light. I see it like in a way of mastery. Like those legend poker players. Until they fully grasp their strategy, they don't quit. The persistently and consistently challenging themselves to be the best poker player. Contrast to OP's idea which only bases on luck, if you just show up today and not tomorrow, only bet when you feel like it then you won't get the mastery.

It's not that one big win that is you are waiting for. It is the mastery of your own game. So when you quit, that's when you lose.

We're already in the year 2023 and people nowadays are more educated than before. Unproven traditional beliefs are becoming obsolete except for those uneducated and people in faraway rural areas.

As for me, there are no-nonsense popular beliefs and statements that can change my mind unless it is well proven.

Gambling is mostly a game of luck so either you continue playing or you call it a day, the chances of winning and losing are still the same. So, we might need a proper budget or time in order for us not to overspend money or time.

Probably the scam saying of all time especially when it comes to gambling. But remember, getting alcoholic is addiction and you can get addicted on gambling too, quiting on it doesn't mean you lose, you actually gain from it, that's a simple logic.

I wouldn't say it was wrong or right but this probably doesn't fit when it comes to behavior that may lead to addiction. When your whole gambling days are just prone to losing doesn't mean you don't have to quit, that's totally detrimental not just on you but maybe to your circle, you may be in debt because of it. I guess there is in my country and totally this wouldn't differ from other countries on how they put it in perspective. I'd rather quit.

Luck is the main attribute we can't do without, these can make us be on winning streak for days or weeks. Luck doesn't matter or depend on our statistics forecasts, rather our ability to have a possible winning mindset specifically pointing towards our games, gambling can be made very easy. We all have our perspective contributions to gambling, always ready to strive harder than ever when we triggered massive gains from the system. Every game have the possibilities to either be profitable or end in loss, the decision is not ours but depending on the system.

This is a total bullcrap when we talking about gambling. You will save a lot of money if you will while you are a terrible gamble that loses often times. We all know that house always win due to house edge and human error then prolonging playing just to chase profit will definitely give you more loses than profit or breakeven in time when you win huge jackpot prize.

I’m a regular gambler and already removed the thought of winning in long term when gambling since it’s very hard to do that. My goal now is to have fun win or lose so I make that I always enjoy playing. There’s always a time that I feel upset on loses but that’s part of gambling experience so that I can cherish my gambling win.

This statement is more the suggestion of someone very ambitious to win, and this can be said to be a symptom of someone who is addicted to gambling because they cannot control themselves.

Of course, there are, even in every gambling player there are words like this. There are even words like this in my country (If you have won big, don't ever withdraw because it will make you never again) this is also like a suggestion because our account will be marked.

No, because I am not a gambling addict. When I lose or win, if I want to stop, stop listening to words like that.

It's best to take a short break and find out the causes of the losses that keep happening while playing. So yes, if I'm having a couple of losing streaks in gambling, it's better to stop because it's a sign of bad timing or wrong way of playing.
and I prefer to spend time researching the causes of my failure and developing the right strategy and playing at the right time, what to do and what not to do if I want to play the next game.
Gambling is attached to luck, but if we play at the right time and play calmly and calmly sometimes the luck is there but it has to stop when luck is on our side even if not much. And most of them are dissatisfied with the wins they get, which in the end keep playing and losing.

It's a very popular statement here in my place also but commonly in pidgin "na who give up lose". There is sense in the statement but should not be applicable to gambling. Gambling is not a dream to be chase without thinking of giving up, it work for some and fail some. Do yourself a favor and give up honorably if it is not working for you before you give up your life instead of gambling. You're not losing when you give up early but the moment you realize it's not your way but you refuse to give up is when you start losing.

The above statement is a words of encouragement given to those chasing their dreams with difficulty and sometimes think of giving up along the process. It gives strength to keep on moving until the dream is actualized. As a gambler, if you stay glued to this statement, you're definitely deceiving yourself with fake hope that might not see the light of the day.

You only have two options: quit and stop losing or keep playing and keep losing. The choice is yours.

As these words are motivational, there is no scope to deny it. Because when a gambler gives up gambling after a loss then the loss always stay with him or he will suffer. On the other hand, if he tries to take risks, there is a possibility of getting something big. But these motivational quotes will not be the same for everyone. Because a gambler who has lost his money, no matter how good or bad, cannot gamble because he has no money. Rather, he should be encouraged to take a break.

For me, this works only with investments and not with gambling. In gambling it is a matter of which would be gone first; you money in the pocket or your chance of winning. Indeed there will be that idea or a tendency to win back your losses on a single bet but question is when would that come into reality? Would you be still having enough money to reach that reality? Sometimes it is fine giving up and it is not something to be afraid of especially if you have no assurance of the outcome. Forcing your luck into something is a punch to the moon. Always manage the risk as much as possible.

Lol, sorry... Sayings are sayings people tend to use them to cheer themselves up, but as with anything in life, please, common sense.

You're not going to achieve something, e.g.  just because of another saying classic, it is signed very simply: "I decree..." and you add whatever you want to it.

 It is cultural, it is individual and then that defines you based on your results, it is you who determines the path based on the knowledge of the things of reality, not a saying.

The problem with gamblers which is not limited to only them is that most of them adopt or accept herd thinking or behavior. They conform not because they want to but because they have to feel among the pack and do not want to be left out. If you have 5 group of friends who think that "if you quit is when you lose", you would be the 6th person with that thinking and perspective.

Unfortunately this statement isn't driven by logic but by pure emotions.It is just like the popular saying in the gym, " No pain, No gain", or "Go hard or Go home".

Agree to that! It's a win-win for to everyone if you choose to quit, you will be able to use the money too much important things and also your time will use the right way, pushing yourself inside gambling will lead you to addiction and as we all know what addiction can do to a person, better to stay away and forget about that saying'.

You are helping yourself if you choose to quit than to proceed and keep trying your luck, it just leading you to go deep and lose more.

Apart from all that, it would be better if someone decided to stop, even though the desire to return to the previous defeat with a win is very high but on the other hand we also have to consider that it is very likely that we will experience the same defeat. If someone has money left and decides to bet with high hopes and beliefs that with this bet he will succeed in winning big, but still losses will continue to dominate. Winning in gambling is 1/10, that is, where you will get one win at the expense of ten losses, this is very ridiculous but everyone will not realize it because every time the temptation of victory will always be in their minds. Therefore it is very appropriate to say that stopping is the best choice we can choose, even though it is very difficult to be able to do it, we can start slowly.

I have some friends who are regular bettor. Some of them are not financially well. But they are very interested in gambling. Some take a break when they lost their money but then join again. They do not need to be encouraged because when they see others win they themselves are inspired and join again later. We all know that no risk no gain. To be successful you have to take risk otherwise there is no possibility of success from gambling this thought is very common in gambling world.

And you mean that is a general saying? Like a term that is pervasively used among gamblers? I wonder what country you are residing in, but it sounds more like you are trying to transmit the saying from crypto to another domain. In crypto the saying is that when Bitcoin drops in price, you haven't lost anything until you really sold at a loss. While that makes some sense and has proven to be true on several occasions, I doubt it could be said with the same probability about gamblers not to stop gambling :)

It is actually quite the opposite in real life. In card games in particular, it is those who win the most who can accept when they are beat and let their hand go instead of giving the next card a try.

I want to say there is nothing bad to express hope in whatever you are doing but the above particular sentence is the reason that some gamblers have turn to addicts. They don't consider that luck is involved in it but they have taken it to be what they can't give up in and they consistently play to chase back their losses.  They work with hope for the bet to turn their way and when it doesn't, they are turning themselves deeper in betting. Although their are people who have benefited for consistently hoping for you who finally got it but at what percentage is that compared to those who never got it , that is the important thing to note.

I think this literacy implies many meanings, I am quite familiar with the words "If you quit that's when you lose!". but in truth, it all depends on someone to interpret it. OK, since these words are defined for gambling, let's deal with it. Well, if a friend said that to me, then, what should I do, I don't care what they say.

Remember, that gambling is not a journey of life but rather for pleasure. quote If you quit that's when you lose, more precisely it is intended for other things. for example, in work, or other general issues related to one's social life or privacy. You also have to realize that no one can dictate the gambling that you do, unless your friends are trying to lead you into something. ideally you just ignore it, if you lose today, you can come back according to your financial condition and mood. in fact, I often hear this expression from several friends who have the same hobby of gambling. usually, they just do jokes just for fun. well, if someone of your friends says so, consider it a joke.

I agree, in gambling it is a different story because even if you lose big on that specific day, you can always go back in the next day or next few days and have a fresh start.
I don't just believe in that phrase where it says that "If you quit, that's when you lose" because you cannot just make a decision to chase your loss because you know what are the risks if you will do that, you are lucky if you can do it successfully but before that, let's not forget the chances first as there is a huge chance to fail in the chase compared to the chances of success.

I believe that it is the addicted gamblers that are always use to this say just to give hope to themselves on their losses. We all know the gambling rules that says,if you are losing,you should quit the game and play the next day.

When you see gambling as fun,you will not care about your losses and you wouldn't feel that quiting means that you are weak. Quiting shows that you are strong and can control yourself. Because if you quit today,you might resume back tomorrow. The more you play,the more you run into great loss because one can never win the house edge.

Quitting is never losing especially if you have fallen deeply into gambling addiction. There are some instances and situations wherein quiting will be the wisest thing to do particularly to those who have lost most of their savings and assets due to excessive gambling. The real lost of a gambler is the inability to control himself and being unable to deal with the risks.
For normal and disciplined gamblers, it is fine to take a break after losing because there will always be another chance to try our luck but we shouldn't chase our losses because worse situations might happen.

Gamblers who believe on this is going to lose more this remark or saying only favors the casinos because the casino is going to make a lot of profit if a gambler continue to gamble, gamblers should quit when he is already losing and chasing your loses will cause you to lose more, responsible gamblers will never believe is such remarks it's ok to other sports but I don't think you can apply it with gambling because this is very harmful and will lead you to become addicted to gambling.
Don't believe on every saying when it comes to gambling always check if this will do you good or harm.

If you don't gamble just for the money, you may never regret what you lose. But in reality most gamblers gamble to get fast money so when they stop they will really regret this bad habit. I often say that gamble responsibly so you won't feel much of the aftermath of it. Don't be 100% looking to make a profit on gambling, it's too difficult because the probability of your win is not always higher than the loss.

The true statement is, when you stop gambling, you have stopped spending money on gambling, which in turn will leave you with more of your budget that can be saved or spent elsewhere. Just like trading, cut losses are a good idea when you want to prevent more losses. But if you gamble for fun, then you will surely realize that losing is an integral part of gambling.

I often hear this saying and those words often come out of those who get the win that day to encourage their friends who lose. Actually this saying can trigger more extreme decisions that someone will make in pursuit of victory because it is triggered by their desire to make a return on conditions when they lose. I think the main option to be aware of is to stop when you lose and try it another day when your emotional level can really be controlled in gambling.

On the one hand I have tried to do various ways of gambling where the rate of defeat will not be a good escape to chase victory on that day. But trying to determine when is the right time to do it again and that is what it means if you want to stop you will be considered a loser.

This thought is basically what drives the gambling world because most people are always interested when the story of some random gambler winning lots of cash gets to their ear's, its just like a man who had already lost hope in what he is doing until a source of goodnews about what he has been wishing and from that instance the possibility of the winner of such people being him never get out of his head and so the efforts to achieve success kicks in again and the gambling habits start all over.

This is how a gambler to lose everything at the end. They think there will be a bigger chance to win if they do more attempts, but it is actually the wrong way. Basically, every gambler knows how big the chance to win the jackpot/prize, it is very small chance. And do more attempts with bigger money, won't increase the chance to win. It is the wrong mindset that there will be futuristic hope. We must know when we must to stop, gambling shouldn't be excessively.

Sure. And it is also how the gambler begins to lose everything. Then, he probably takes a loan and experiences more complicated problem in his life. That's the consequence of someone that believes on the popular remark.

Thats basically what gambling is. Convincing yourself that you can make the impossible possible. But people tend to go too far, they start mixing up reality with their fantasy world. That is what leads to the biggest losses. Gambling itself is fun, if you go small. But going big should be avoided because going big always stems from going with your "gut feeling" or emotions. No matter how lucky you think you are, you should never keep throwing your money into the fire just because you have lost control.

Anyone who says "if you quit that's when you lose" is an irresponsible person who's advice should never be followed. That kind of statement is mathematically untrue. If you quit, you win by not losing even more money.

I'd take this advice if I'm not wagering with huge amount of money regularly. This advice can be suitable for purchasing lottery tickets in a daily basis where you will need to spend less than a dollar to maintain that combination you had for such a long time. But in a casino, it's a big no no. These people who gave advices such these statements are only after the money you can possibly win in a jackpot IF that one day comes to reality, BUT talking about reality, you will never going to be a winner in gambling technically speaking. With all the amount of money the casino accumulated when every time you lose is more than what they give back to you when you hit a jackpot.

That statement is never correct. I wouldn't totally quit gambling because that's one of the many ways I could find leisure with, but I should only manage to minimize the expenses and time I spent in gambling especially when you're already a family man. AND, most importantly, I wouldn't want to listen and be influenced by other people's advices such as this. Because, obviously they are just making you look like a fool.

If you quit gambling you lose nothing, because gambling is something you play without expecting much back and also without losing yourself, this is all about getting lucky and you can keep gambling for many years without anything to show for it.

Instead of trying to make something from gambling I will advice you to spend less time with gambling and put more energy into your business or other things that requires your service, talent will get you there than game of luck.

Develop a skill or create one, make sure it's something demanding and you will see huge money flowing in, do not divert your energy into gambling, it's not going to with it, gamble for the fun of it and use small money too. 

It somehow reminded me of stories about some gamblers who resorted to borrowing money from their relatives and friends to continue gambling with the hope of winning back the money they lost in the casinos. I guess it is better for gamblers to learn how to stop gambling and cut losses early if they found themselves starting to borrow money to gamble as the chances for them to recoup their losses are very low.

Those who gamble for a quick buck will only regret it because they have gambled a lot of money and never managed to get a big win. If you have lost several times, perhaps that is a sign for you to stop for a while to rest because if not, your desire to recover those losses will be even greater so that it can cause you to experience more and more defeats.

When you stop gambling, it means that your loss is that big and won't get bigger unless you continue playing gambling. Many people prefer to continue gambling because they hope to win some money to recover from their losses and also earn money. But it won't be what they think.

Forcing ourselves when we lose is definitely not something that is very good to do, and as you said in such a case one must realize that returning to financial condition after getting a loss again and again should not be something easy and tends to be impossible so in this case the importance of trying to stop when we get a loss is very good. That can be one of the good things and make us at least not too focused on the gambling losses that have occurred.
We must realize that although ambition is good but being too ambitious especially in gambling will only destroy yourself.

I feel maybe the author of that statement is an agent for a gambling site and was trying to encourage people to bet more knowing they stand a greater chance of losing, especially those that requires you to wager some fews before withdrawals it's a very wrong statement and people should decist from that idea, now my question is, are those people willing to lose their funds gradually for a long period of time till they hit the jackpot? and eventually you go broke due to that would you risk wagering your valuablable items to recover your losses? If yes then goodluck to them  but if no then why would people allow themselves to be deceived by wrong statements.
 
  I've come across this similar statement where peope say they'll recover all their money before they quit, which is also wrong as well because that's one of the criteria of becoming addicted to gambling you should know when to pause for a while else you'll suffer more loss due to anxiety, however in my country some  people claim they can't quit because it's become part of their lifestyle, and if they're reputable many others mostly younger ones would want to emulate such lifestyle which is also very wrong.

From very low to non existent as I have yet to hear a story of how a homeless person in full debts managed to go to the casino to win big and to pay back all debts,win money and to buy a mansion for him to change the life from this to that.This means that most of the times,for me always whenever a person borrows money it is directly going to ruin himself if he put that money as a deposit in any casino and plays there.There are simply no stories of such persons and this should be enough to have as example that the statement "if you quit that's when you lose" maybe related to other fields in life but got nothing to do with gambling.

If you do this, you will only get bigger losses at the end of the game session and worse, you can lose all of your balance.
Being too ambitious to return losses is always disastrous for gamblers, so it's better to just stop when you're experiencing defeat.
Controlling emotions when losing will be more difficult than controlling emotions when winning, so it's better to leave immediately and leave the sites that we use for a while.

In my country about that statement is the opposite, "If you stop to gamble then you have been declared winning" This is more logical than looking at the opportunity at a glimmer of light of money, you can't see and very sudden.

The statement on statement OP was misleading in my opinion, and that thought was usually eaten by gambling addicts, so they spent the money he had to get the divine light from the tunnel described, but actually it was a statement to make them enthusiastic about spending money in gambling, and or trapped Those who have ignorance and have no regulation in managing finances.

Oh yes definitely! Sure, this kind of mindset works in other aspects of life but in gambling where the odds are random, this cannot be applied.

I used to believe in the saying the only failure is when you stop trying but this only works where failure is not an option in grinding in real life. But in gambling, this cannot be applied.


I honestly believe that it is very incorrect to apply this kind of statement to something that is risky in nature. Gambling is not something where you can perfect your craft on. Sure, you may know ways of increasing the odds in your favour but if you are against something on the numbers itself, then it is futile.

No matter how good you may get, gambling is still gambling and the more you play, the more you put yourself in a situation where losing is also an option.

I do not agree with you, it depends on what you are quoting for, if you quit for something that has values like Bitcoin investment, although Bitcoin investment is 90% not 100% but if you quit for gambling I don't see that as lossing anything rather than saving your money, this statement is mostly used for gambling addict's, the are the only persons who say that to motivate there gambling instincts.
If I quit for gambling I will not take that as losing, prove me wrong by not agreeing with what I said.

On the one hand we will continue to lose and will certainly keep us in trouble, even new problems can occur at that time.
It's like a hole that if we can't get out of it then we will forever be in such an ambitious state. What we have to do is play from above the hole, so that we can know what limits we should not cross so that we do not fall into the hole.

I totally understand that when gambling, winning is definitely our hope, and when we lose we think we want to return our losses and hope to win with the amount we spent at the beginning and after that stop. But in reality it is not that easy to win in gambling, luck is still a factor in which we can win, especially if we play with great ambition, then I think it will make luck even away from us.

It's difficult to get people to think that far, and maybe they don't even realize things like this. However, the realization must be sought to come to them.

Well, somehow I have seen someone from a less priviledge and was very poor in winning games and after many attempt, he won a life changing money at the end, but it wasn't from a debt, he has no debt but was playing from a small amount with big odds until one day won a lottery and that was how the life change from a common person to someone who own a business because he was educated but just that the money was not there and also bought a house and was living comfortable.

Borrowing money to gamble is like a product with an expire date, when a gambler continue in that path without showing any result for playing all those games, the consequences result to regret and people hating you for real, people will not want to have something to do with you again because you will be know as moeny defulter.

It is indeed misleading and everyone will think and act to get the light -10% win from a 100% win rate, it is a stupid thought if you want to get a win, and maybe it is the words of a gambling influencer who wants to trap people with his stigma.
So it's important here to have the sanity of thinking as you say, so you don't get caught up in stupidity like that, and it's also important to make gambling a place to seek pleasure, not a place to earn money or seek victory, so that everything is controlled within the limits set before gambling.

Indeed, it is difficult to have a sane mind in response to this, especially those who have addiction at a more severe level, will usually ignore the words of people who give good advice to them in response to gambling.

Well then I hope that those gamblers in your country are frequently winning but if they are not and that they are having the opposite outcome, what can I say aside from I'm not really surprised by it. That statement might encourage someone but it's not really advisable because if you say that, it's just like pushing someone towards the edge because instead of saving themselves from a lose streak, they will lose more if they won't quit. Besides, what are the guarantees that if they don't quit they will start winning?

The only person who would believe such deceptive statements as "If you quit that's when you lose" is one who lacks a mind or the ability to make their own decisions. In a day, I won't be able to get myself to believe that nonsense. Even though I hear when people make fun of such words to me, I usually make a snide remark like, "Are they the ones giving me money to bet on my lost games?"

The purpose of gambling is not to demonstrate to friends that you will undoubtedly win the games you have wagered on. Quit when success seems hard in your gambling bets to prevent further loss. The loss is felt by you, not by them.

What i do most times is to make sure I don't gamble more than my selected time because sometimes we get carried away with the excitement of winning that can lead us to loss in the end, this has been the most evident reality of most gamblers.
They either go after chasing losses or get over-excited to gamble more because of winning, and this can result in some outcome that most will likely not be fair to them.

But in all no one really care whether you win or lose as long as you gamble in online casinos that nobody knows your results whether win or lose.

Borrowing money from relatives and friends in order to  sustain Thier wants which is gambling, because of the reason that they are aiming to win. In order to have a profits and pay for Thier loans, but in reality there are only small amount of winning in gambling especially if aiming a profits. And a gambler's don't have Thier luck then for sure they will loss.

Things like this often happen to them (gamblers), who knows what's in their minds so they are so sure of doing this. Borrowing money from other people including relatives in the hope of getting a win and then they pay the debt and receive a little profit on it, this is just an algorithm in the mind, I mean this is just a wish and if they do they will not have the slightest chance of winning the. I'm sure someone who is determined to do this is only for those who are already addicted, so they will most likely justify any means to fulfill their desire to gamble. It's wrong to put too much hope in gambling, and I'm sure some healthy people will think the same. So the point is this is nothing more than a matter of luck, if we continue to chase victory then it is very likely that we will experience a lot of defeats.

That's quite the rallying cry, then, is it not? A beacon of optimism for punters in the midst of a sea of defeat. But is it true, or is it a siren song that leads naive gamblers to ruin? What I think is as follows.

These optimistic proverbs gloss over the degree to which gambling relies on chance. They make us feel like we have control when none exists, and that if we can just hang on, we can beat the odds. The odds of winning in gambling do not follow the pattern of a hero's journey, in which a succession of missteps eventually pays off. Each wager is an independent occurrence unrelated to any previous difficulties.

It's like the old adage that goes something like, "The wheel always comes full circle." I, however, do not share this view. I don't base my decisions on the opinions of others, but on the facts I've independently verified. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against the bettor.

That is the worse effect on trying to put your money at stake especially if you can't afford to lose that money, you would do everything or sacrifice just to bring back what you have lost. Well it might also connected to the phrase "if you quit that's when you lose" . It's actually depends on the person, on how they can handle the regrets on losing something if they would learn to not do it again or would do anything just to bring it back. Always remember that gambling could give you a result of win or lose, that's on you already if you can't accept the fact that you risked your money. Always have a limit on yourself on everything because too much is too much.

So I misunderstood it. I thought we should continue as long as we still have some money in our balances inside our gambling accounts. And I think many won't agree with this one. Anyways, on the real meaning of the quote, I agree on it. We can also apply it on other areas in life and not just in gambling that we must not give up easily.

Quitting won't let you grow. I think that even if a gamblers didn't hear the quote, there is a big chance that they will still continue. It's either they are addicted already or they don't see gambling as a wrong doing. It's just part of their normal life. I think there is no such quote here in my country but people here can say negative things about gambling only to discourage someone from engaging on it.

In my country there is an expression: "he who does not risk does not drink champagne". We drink champagne on special occasions or holidays or when we want to celebrate something special. The gambler who risked and won can also celebrate his winnings by drinking a glass of champagne. After all, to win a lot of money is a big event. But it happens very rarely. The gambler who lost is likely to drink strong alcohol from his grief, but he dreams that sooner or later he will drink champagne.

This expression does not encourage gamblers to stop and think, rather it pushes them to take risks.

This is a big surprise and I tend to learn everyday. Risk is one of the important expect when we gamble and if we can regulate it, we are not going to have problem as a gambler. I have taken a lot of risks as a gambler and sometimes, I tend to make winnings and sometimes I lost which does not mean that taking risk as a gambler will make us a winner. There are some types of risks that can make us fortunate and make money and while the other risks we take might lead to a bigger problem for us which can make us even lose big as a gambler.

I've never heard a term like this. I think this term is misleading when compared to the term in my country. In my country the term popular is the opposite of your country's term. "The biggest win in gambling is when you stop gambling." Very contradictory with the terms in your country

But I think it doesn't matter, in different countries there can be differences in thinking and culture. In my country gambling is still something illegal so most people give advice to stop gambling, apart from spending money gambling is illegal and can cause a person to face the law.

But whatever the difference, as long as we can control our finances and can be responsible in gambling, maybe it's not a serious problem.

Seeing this I think am some how encourage not to give up on my gambling activities but the question that has always run through my mind is this, how I wish I will be able to know when my winnings will come so that I can make proper arrangements for the celebration because I have taken strong alcoholic drinks to calm my nerves down when ever I encountered losses in gambling so during my days of good wins I wish to have enough expensive wins to celebrate the big win. Champagne is not going to be the only drink that will be made available when I win big rather I will get so many things done that day especially things that will help me get rid of all the emotional stress I have been through since losing funds in gambling. The rule has always been never give up I believe one day a gambler will smile.

To be honest I don't really know the term gambling like the OP said, even like you said.  and, I rarely hear quotes about gambling. The point is, I don't really care. however there is something interesting, what the OP quoted, is contradictory like what you quoted too. yep, like you said. These two quotes have opposite meanings. but actually, it all comes back to each of us how we interpret it. even, if our thoughts are positive. the quote the OP said we can interpret as sarcasm. yep, so that we don't get carried away with excessive habit patterns. also, the quote you said that gets straight to the point.

But whatever it is, a quote is just a quote. after all, not everyone or gamblers will care about these quotes. and for the last point, we agree. as long as we are able to control our finances, and involve responsibility in gambling, everything is fine. as long as, this hobby does not harm other parties, even the closest family.

If you quit that's when you lose is the loser mentality, in my opinion. So many gamblers have lost life savings before on gambling to chase losses and that is how they thought about quitting gambling. I don't recommend applying this logic since there is no guarantee the next big multiplier will save all previous losses while you can add up more on the loss side. Gambling is all about the fun and nothing else, so forget this point of view and don't chase losses.

I'm 100% sure that it comes from casino operators, not from gamblers, casino operators are good at promoting and encouraging gamblers to continue playing they want you to chase your losses to the point that you do not have any more money to chase your losses, this saying applies to goals that you can reach if you work hard like education or business but never in gambling.
Never let gambling operators dictate you or else you will find yourself losing more than what you can afford to lose, check out offline casinos they have everything you need like food, drinks entertainment so you can continue your stay and play your playing time is their investment so they are good at making you stay.

If you are a gambler and you are always chasing your lose, then you are going to keep on losing, we all should learn to accept our lose and come back another day to fight. When you chasing your losses, you won’t want to give up because you will be having the mindset that you are going to win back everything’s you have lost, but don’t be surprise that you will end up losing everything you are having left with you, just because you are chasing your lost. If you are a gambler and you have lost enough of money in a day, then just stop gambling that day and wait for another day before you will continue.

The main issue is that people don’t focus on the fun aspect of gambling, what they focus on is just the money aspect that’s why they are always having issue when they are losing, they are always feeling they will win back all the money they have lost if they continue playing.

Especially when it comes to gambling Yoshie, you are right, this is not you trying to build a machine, where you must not quit on your dream, I remember how making a plane to fly in the sky was very tough and it was passed down from builders to other builders, gambling is not something worth striving for, it's a dream killer, it's why the LORD doesn't like it I believe and the words of in the Bible about gambling is not good.

Even when you are trying to create something that someone has never done before, there might come a time where you need to call it a quit, it doesn't mean you are weak, it's just to quit for the main time.

I have tried to solve things in my life, at first they get too complicated and hard to me,  and i quit, a year later I decide to check them out again and I found them more easier to handle, it's like I gained more knowledge after my first quit.

Quitting is no sign of weakness, sometimes it's necessary, to find your way or solution.

Mind you, no solution with gambling, it's name fits perfectly for what it is, if you have to quit because of gambling it's for the greater good.

That statement is a fallacy they use it to encourage their fellow gamblers not to quit and to raise their hope in a hopeless situation, where is the hope for a gambler who incurred series of losses up to getting liquidated? Absolutely none the best bet is to completely quit gambling and start new a life rather than continue with lt.

Those gamblers who had been misled by that statement ended up completely rekted because when they had the opportunity of quitting after incurring few losses yet they succumb to their advice.

We don't have such statement in my country probably because most gamblers especially those who are into soccer betting do it anonymously though they use to share some tips among themselves but that statement is never mentioned.

To me, that's more of an intense gambler that doesn't have the time to think of quitting. But then, losing will make him realize that there's a need to rest and they can no longer uncuff the chain that has strangled them.

That's for real.
Those that don't realize that everything is taken from them has probably the ideology that when they quit, they're all losers. Well, we're all losers in different senses and from the different battles that we're having, and not just with gambling. Stopping and realizing your losses does make you understand that you're not doing well and you need to stop but that doesn't mean you're a total loser.

It's the sort of psychological trick that gamblers have to do in order to rationalize losing money, because let's face it - losing money is painful and is basically an admission that they made a stupid mistake. It has no truth in reality however, because most casino games are totally detached from all past and future goes. Barring sophisticated algorithms that modern casinos might use to get players to keep depositing more, the casino is a for profit business and they make that profit by draining the bank accounts of players. The only people who are making regular long term money inside a casino are the owners and the staff that they pay to keep things running. They are trying to make it analogous to owning shares in the stock market - where a company has the potential to bounce back, but it's nothing like that.

I don't think this statement is really correct. The rationale behind it I can understand and it makes sense to a certain extent, but I don't think it's a good advice to follow. It's true that once you stop gambling that you lose all your chances of recovering your previous losses, it also means that we can't lose more money. The question is also does it mean quitting gambling forever, or only to stop gambling for some time. Because when we are having a bad day and are only losing at the casino, I think it's better to take a break instead of chasing our losses. We can only lose our money once and it's better to spread it out to try again on another day than going Allin. The most common saying when it comes to gambling in my country is "don't gamble with money that you can't afford to lose". My father who never visited a casino likes to tell me another saying when I tell him about my gambling adventures: "sometimes you lose and sometimes the casino wins".

Those who just continue to gamble without realizing that they have lost will lose more money because stopping would be better for them. Playing gambling is different from other things where if you lose, you lose. However, if you try to play gambling again, you will only experience even more losses, even though you may get a win, but the amount of your previous losses is already greater than the number of your wins. So they should be able to stop before the money runs out. Otherwise, they would only suffer more loss.

It is true that gambling not only destroys oneself but also destroys the family that's why you have to learn to control yourself. Greed doesn't take long to kill a person casino or other forms of gambling can never be earned. Those who play think that if they lose they will win the next stage they usually lose their control and get addicted. Gambling addiction can never increase one's financial well being gambling has no money gambling ends in gambling until today no one could buy a car house but instead lost the car house and money.

The one who can do that from gambling is the bookie, maybe there is one person out of many lucky people who can win and change their lives, but the percentage is very small. But for a bookie, I'm sure they will be able to do everything and buy luxury goods.
For example, I might look at those who promote gambling, they get money and also maybe luxury facilities, and if they can get it all, moreover, an owner, it will certainly be more than what the person who promotes them can do.

Nothing should be sacrificed to achieve something that a gambler wants, especially if it's someone else. They should be aware of basic things like this that will make them gamble well. There are limits that should not be exceeded, and for me that is a fixed price.
I'm now looking forward to being able to bet on sports matches, especially football which I haven't done in a long time, because the league is taking a break.  ;D

Actually the solution to anticipating something that is not wanted in gambling is very simple, one only needs to see gambling as entertainment, don't think too much about betting in it but think that this is an act that only produces entertainment and doesn't think too much about the stake. The self-control factor is one of the most important actions they can choose, but it all comes back to each of them, if indeed they have a nature that is easily provoked then it is certain that they will fall into it. In fact, even the self-control factor will not be very useful if the person has a high emotional level and is easily provoked. In that position there should be a colleague who helps him by always reminding or telling him about the downturns that other people have experienced in gambling, so that indirectly they will feel a little concerned about not going too far in the jump.

The lure of a win has taken control of them, therefore it is only natural that they justify everything that can support them to gamble. To be honest they will not realize how many defeats they have experienced, too much hope has dominated a mind, therefore most of them always chase victory without thinking about the risk of losing. If you want to know the real gambling system is 1/10, where you will get one win by sacrificing ten losses and this is indeed a fact that happens.

If you are someone who is active in gambling, then you will feel how difficult it is to do self-knowledge to minimize defeat. For someone who is deep in gambling, the self-control factor will not have much effect and they will even forget about it. Defeat will mean nothing to them, in fact, this defeat has indirectly provoked them to do it further with high spirits and with extraordinary confidence for a victory.

It is commonly said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, that saying "if you quit, that's when you lose" is as old as i can remember, to believe in such a saying or should call it a quote, you have to first and foremost find out the origin of it, like in what year it came out and became popular amongst gamblers, by discovering this, you can be able ascertain how such quotes worked out for those it originated from, and also tell whether it should still apply to todays gambling.

If you dig deep into this quote, you will discover that this really worked for those of those old since there were not very much to do aside gambling and other menial jobs, but in our world today, alot have changed, there are many jobs and businesses everywhere, majority of persons are not idle anymore, there are many things for people to engage themselves in and be successful in it aside gambling, so such quotes as this is no longer really relevant in our todays world except its to those who are addicted to gambling.

Truth, Self-control is just a myth if you are already gambling. Only few person manage to control their emotion when they are on the influence of gambling while the majority of gamblers usually don’t mind control themselves in actual.

Same with profit, Losses is really serves as the key factor on why gamblers keep comin back. Either chasing losses or chasing profit. Either way, that’s how gambling works and you will only understand it until you run out of money.

it will relate to the original intention of the gambler when playing at the casino. if you know for the first time that gambling is a game for fun, it will be good for self-control. but if we know gambling at the beginning as a game we can win. then his ambition is to seek victory. and that is hard to control when a gambler starts to get addicted.

Yes you are right that mate every gamblers in gambling industries has their own point of view and how they handle their own. Cause we all know that the greatest enemy in gambling is greediness because once greediness will overcome then the gambler can not control himself and have a chance that he must fall into addiction which is not good once you became an addict then a lot of time you need in order to recover.

Not everyone seeking wins or victories will get hooked to it. Even if it means that they are going to get something out of it, if you're not entirely dedicated to it, you'll brush it off like it's nothing. Most of those who are obsessed with winning and become addicts are those who doesn't have much and wants to get easy money. Even then, only a few gets addicted big time, a select few that really destroys their lives.

In the end, it's the person, not the game.

But the fact that we see today is that people intend to play gambling because money is not for fun so they tend to become addicts more easily because their ambition is to gamble for money, but I was the other way around when I got to know gambling what I played was a demo game so that it was easier for me to understand how to play and also have fun in the game.

Usually there are several casinos providing demo games for new users to use as a trial, but it's getting longer as casinos remove demo games so people immediately play for gambling using real money so that risks are easier to get and make users lose money quickly then play on until the end until it really makes gamblers addicted to gambling.

People quit in some points, they do not want to play anymore because they win a lot and the other way is they lose a lot of money, it's not bad about quitting that's the part you think that you already an excessive player that consumes a lot of time and money, its ideal if you think you are already gambling addict by yourself and there's a lot of people affected with your decision making. If you lose accept the fact that those money cant take back. Move on and try another life don't get discourage because of those losses not all the time its the answer to your money problems. Sometimes being responsible in life is the best part.

That quote might resonate with people who are too hopeful, but it doesn't apply to everyone. We should remember that there are times when you continuously lose against the casino. It happens in almost every gambling session. We must set limitations, know when to continue, and when to stop. Always remember to gamble responsibly.

The kind of spirit that controls Gambling is so strong powerful,and it has made so many persons go insane.A story that a guy confessed about what gambling did to him,according to him when he came to church to make testimony of how God delivered him from the spirit of gambling.He said he had about 5 million in his account and his friend introduced him to online bet in his phone,sportybet precisely,he started staking with high amount in their virtuals,he won the first and second time,and ever after then,he has been loosing,he lost to the extend that he finished all the money he had in his account,and he said most of his lose were cut one.He had to run to a pastor to deliver him after when he almost comited suicide in his house as a result of depression from the loss,but was rescued by a friend who came to visit him that day. The pastor prayed for him and took his phone from him,and gave him back after a month, and ever since then,he hasn't thought of doubling his money by playing virtual.

This is funny, I think no spirit controls gambling, it's just a mindset and the ability to know when to stop as king, I started gamble in 2012 I never won a day, I quite in 2013. I just started again this year I, have won more than have lost. It's just the ability to know that you can only stake with your spare money. Depending your income on gamble is dangerous thing to do.

I think we shouldn't let any popular saying affect our decision instead we should make decisions based on how were seeing the condition that we're in. You should quit if you noticed gambling isn't doing you any good as you keep losing instead of winning like others are doing.

If you're winning then you should continue gambling, you quiting earlier can help you to look for how to make money in other things instead of wasting the money gambling, you can decide to invest into cryptocurency and you get profits when the bull market comes.

Many gamblers has the mentality already and that's why they don't stop gambling when they're losing, they believe they can win meanwhile they forget that gambling isn't for everyone and it can't favor everyone as many has to be lose for the few that's winning to be paid fully.

i don't know the conditions in other countries, but in our country the lottery is something that is quite passionate about, some people have even used the lottery for decades in the hope that one day they can win a big jackpot, for some types of gambling games i quite agree with the phrase "if you stop then you lose", even so, don't let that sentence make us become gambling addicts, that is a serious thing, this sentence was made only to encourage people who often gamble and quite a lot have also proven themselves that's why they keep on gambling.

exactly what it is. That's even the reason why some people end up using their school fees to gamble, and some even use the money they were supposed to use for another project to gamble because of that false mentality they have about gambling. The major losses in gambling arise when the gambler refuses to give up after they have already lost a Great deal. As a gambler, one is supposed to have a budget of the amount that they would want to gamble off, so that even if they experience losses, they will not chase their losses.

Quitting is part of the game, I never acknowledge disappointment, and no matter how many times I've gambled, I'm always ready to offer the exact same amount of energy every time I perceive an opportunity. We perform most of our practice offline and then retest it with live games; if it works better, great; if not, go back and implement a new prediction strategy. Quitting would simply result in additional regrets about games; it's preferable to walk away and then plan on returning to the system, this time with a positive attitude and meticulously planned strategy.

Exactly, people need to realize that gambling isn't something where this rule of when you quit then you lose applies, it can be applied to anything else in life where hard work is the main reason for success, but in gambling, the result is totally dependent on luck and hard work has nothing to do with it, I know that some parts of gambling such as sports betting require some work from you like analyzing the teams and doing some research, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't stop when you are constantly losing.

In gambling, the wisest person is who stops gambling when they realize they are not winning at all, because if they keep gambling, they wouldn't get any luckier only because of that, and they will just keep wasting all their money until they run out of money and then they realize that they should have stopped earlier.

A gambler needs to be clever enough to know when he needs to quit and when he needs to continue playing. Without thinking quitting the games and without thinking keep on gambling is not the solution.

Depends upon the plan of the gambler and the results and outcome of the gambling which helps the gambler to make decision whether he should quit all or whether he should continue gambling.

Or worse, people will start considering committing a suicide and eventually end up taking their own life just like what we discussed here in this forum a couple of weeks ago about a student who used his tuition in gambling activities.

Honestly, it's not really that surprising that gamblers will end up in a situation like these because right from the start, they are already thinking it wrong and chasing whatever what is lost will be the easiest shortcut towards debt and problems. Gambling should be played with a total control over your emotions and setting the boundaries so that problems can be avoided.

Exactly! They should know when to quit and when to start fighting again. They need to be wise because gambling cannot give you the thing that you wanted, most of the time you will be losing. We don't want to disrespect their belief but that is wrong they need to understand and they need to control their emotions before playing, and need to accept that, they need to stop even they are not yet losing.

A catchy one-liner might be somewhat encouraging when you are feeling depressed over your losses but it is not foolproof logic. Not quitting won't make you impervious to losing. Instead, you might actually end up with even bigger losses. Walking away is always difficult because you never know what would have happened if you continued playing but at least you can leave with something instead of nothing.

quitting is a choice to win it all. even though it is difficult to stop or even keep trying and always fail or always lose, it would be better to stop betting and leave gambling forever or just for a moment.
when a gambler is able to stop gambling, I say he doesn't lose, but he win against his selfish self and win against the greed he has. gambling will not always have the hope of being able to give big wins even though you have always tried for years but haven't gotten a big win, it's better to find time to think about when to stop everything.
expecting more from gambling is a very bad situation.

The lure of winning will only deceive those who still want to continue gambling without giving them any real results. And they can experience more defeats than they could imagine. So even though we have lost, we shouldn't continue rather than the number of our losses will be greater. Those who can stop just in time can definitely prevent bigger losses and that is a wise action to understand the circumstances and situations we are experiencing.

Knowing when you stop can prevent you from experiencing a loss that might get bigger because there must be a desire to recover after someone has lost. And if that happens, they will use more money or maybe increase the bet amount in the hope of winning some money to recover their losses and make a profit.

We should try to be wise in gambling rather than risk losing more money. Indeed we can win but may experience defeat because it will depend on the luck we get. And don't waste money if we have lost several times. Resting would be better to reduce tension so we are not stuck playing gambling longer.

I do know that this is the better way to be a gambler, playing with your senses to make proper decision for the next time opportunity to come but most of the gamblers who have had to play until they won may not agree to this and that is why we have many losers because the percentage of losers is always higher than those winning in gambling. However, to have a reserve is better than giving everything up and hope for a winning whose chance to achieve is limited.

I agree with this. It takes courage to quit. It's not an easy task as it seems. The moment you want to quit, you might see yourself going back again and not really making any progress because of lack of self-restraint. That is why I really admire those people who take an initial step to make a difference so their lives could be better. Because once you disregard the warning signs, you might even fall deeper into gambling addiction that could cost you so much if not intervened and treated right.

It's good to recognize when to stop and quit because it just shows that you know how to assess the situation and you care about yourself. Being selfish and greedy is sometimes what most people would do given that they are continuously winning or being favored by the odds. However, things aren't like that everyday. So knowing when to stop is completely necessary in order to prevent bad things from happening such as losing your entire winning or deposit fund.

In most situations have seen someone quitting when they have wasted enough money and time, eventually down on money and owing different people then they will start considering how to quit, which is a very difficult thing, the belief I noticed with addicts is that they keep having a strong belief of winning, and if they eventually get a win then they get more encouragement to play more and will start seen gambling has an empowerment program, forgetting that the more you win the more you lose more money, Regarding the argument that it is for entertainment purposes and money, I believe that others simply have their own perspectives on the matter. Considering that gambling can be both enjoyable and unpleasant, it is best to proceed with caution.

This is part of a healthy mindset where we don't have to continue playing when our gambling budget has run out, that's why it is necessary to have thoughts like this sentence, we will never know what will happen if we continue to play and are provoked by emotions that make our self condition even more out of control. for example when we experience a losing streak it is best to stop gambling before spending all the money.

Gambling must know when to stop and when to play that's why never gamble if you can't do that, because control of emotions and yourself is very important so you don't fall deeper into experiencing a crushing defeat, winning doesn't mean you have to beat the gambling machine but winning against our emotions and greed to reduce losses, after all stopping playing gambling doesn't mean losing.  ;)

At times quiting would had been the best solution as if you didn't quit, you can lose more money. Quiting to fight another day saves you and not make you a coward therefore we don't have to follow others gambling advice but do what benefits us, unless we'll keep losing.

A gambler should be able to identify when he isn't having a good day and quit to save money instead of been ignorant and continue gambling. Your mindset shoudn't be all about making money when gambling but to lose money by doing things that would make you lose.

Quiting doesn't mean you lost, those words are meant for something else like your dreams that's when you can say those words and not when you're gambling. Gambling is a game based on luck so you can't keep playing when you're losing and expecting a different result.

The more we chase back our losses, the more we lose. And if we can't control our desperations and continue gambling thinking that the next bet will be our luck, that will lead to overspending and we just realized that we got empty. I have had an experience like this before but that time help me realized that we should not fall addicted to gambling because that will ruin our mindset and gambling limits. And many gamblers suffer from this situation because of wrong assumptions and thinking.

And that's the very reason why that kind of encouragement are quotes are being created, to boost you up and try to push you to keep betting and try your luck, but like what you have said the more you try the more chance of losing more money, instead of recovering since you are unsure whether your next bet will allow you to win or it will be the same outcome.

Losing is tough and keeping to chase your luck is more tougher. It's not always going to back you up, better to quit than to regret
when you find yourself empty-handed.

Moreover, there is no sense in chasing what is already lost because gambling itself doesn't guarantee you that you can really get it back and let's not forget that in the first place, our chances of winning is much lower compared to our chances of losing. Even before we started our bet, even if we thought about it careful, our chances will be the same and the upper hand will not belong to us because that is the reality of gambling.

Permit me to disagree with you a little, in gambling in general, I've always believed that our chances of winning and losing is always on a scale of 50/50, this is in general terms though, but then, there are other factors with play roles in either reducing our chances of winning and increasing the casinos casinos chances of winning, two of such factors is house edge and RTP in terms of playing slot games, low or high RTP depends on the selected slot game and also the provider of the game.

At the end of it all, everything still falls back to luck, so even if we have a higher chance of winning a game and still not lucky, the game will still be lost, so luck still plays the most important role.

That statement is false and misleading. The only similar statement I have read which makes sense is when you are in the bear market and you are holding bitcoin. You only lose when you sell at lose.
Come to gambling, the statement is erroneous but somehow universal.
A man told me that the only way to get money is to continue chasing money with money and how to chase the money is to gamble. That every gambler has a winning day.

Fighting one's own urges is one of life's most difficult challenges. And of course, there's always FOMO to consider, which can be a major roadblock when trying to kick any habit. Admiration for individuals who can finally stand up and say "enough is enough." Their deeds demonstrate their courage and insight. Addiction is difficult to break free from, especially when the "big gain" keeps you coming back for more, as is the case with gambling. Learning to stop is a skill in and of itself. It doesnt take long for greed to turn today's gains into tomorrow's losses. The house always wins in the end, so its best to cash out while you're ahead.

If I can attest to exactly the same thing you wrote, I'd say there wasn't any certainty to that mentioned scenerio... You made use of a modal verb - "MAY" which doesn't infer any certainty as I said earlier - so what they keep saying is PROBABLY True BUT not, I repeat NOT GUARANTEED..
everyone is made to face Thier fears in life - how about if yours is actually - losing for every single time, on every speculations?? And I'm sure yunno that anyone that's encouraged by others to conquer his WORST fears is always left to face his fate alone, not even the motivators would come for consolations.. so what's the wisdom in that??

Yeah aside from luck there's nothing that we can have that upper hand, chasing your loses will only result to another one, that's how it is most of the time, either you'll be lucky and you will continue to proceed instead of quitting or you will experience another loss and you will add more money to your bankroll., If you want to be safe or if you want not to experience more loses better to accept your defeat and forget about chasing your money, there's no assurance that you'll be able to recover it, consider things as part of that hard learning from your gambling experienced.

Each person would really be having that different urge and different level of control on themselves on the time that they would really be on such condition.This is why it would really vary on a certain individual.Quitting isnt a problem or something necessary if you arent that making gambling as your main source of income or simply making yourself that addicted because this is where people would usually be ending up on a disaster on the time that they would really be having those kind of intents and condition on which they would really be deciding on quitting on the time that they are experiencing difficulties when it comes to finances.
This is why its really that very important that you shouldn't really be making yourself ending up with this situation on the time that you do gambling, always set out limits and wont really be going overboard
about with those intents because this would be the main sole reason on why people getting messed up with their lives.

gambling is gambling, so chasing losses is not the option to get back your money. if you want to change your path, better start thinking of quitting. let go of those losses you had, you will get it back by earning it from your job.
but if decide not to stop, this will only be a cycle of losing and winning, and you won't really get the amount that you want.

Not everyone have the mindset. We shouldn't consider gambling as a source to make money. This is where the real problem arises. We can state this in words, but we find it hard while making use of it in realtime. We just gamble for fun and our mind finds good if we were able to win something. This is how gambling makes people to chase what they've lost.

The statment that is being used around the region of the OP is something misleading, because gambling is not the place where one have to be strong to fight and win. It is a place where we need to enjoy with what we can afford to loss and move on.

In theory, most gamblers understand this. They know that chasing back the losses isn't the right way in gambling, but they still do it because they can't control their emotion. So, this can be avoided if the gamblers have good self control and know how to calm their emotion. That's why casinos set a minimum age for the gamblers, it is one of the preventive ways to eliminate underage who still have difficulties to control emotion. However, in fact, he ability to control emotion isn't only determined by the age. It is also influenced by many factors such as educational background, habits, neighborhood or friends, and many other things. Since there are too many factors involved, even mature people also can be hard to control emotion.

Sure, if we often chase the losses, it makes us be addiction. This way leads us to spend more times and more funds in gambling. At the end of the day, it is possible that we loss everything. Addicts can't have realistic mindset, they only think about more money to spend in gambling. They always believe they can win the jackpot someday.

A gambler must have certain good attributes in order to stay in the game. It's never simple to comprehend things as they are in the system; we have both profits and losses; the issue that matters is which side you choose to be on. Losing is a component of the game, and it is this difficulty that causes most gamblers to stop, causing them to lose completely. Quitting can be advantageous in some situations, particularly when our forecasts do not pan out. Everything in the area revolves around the gambler's decision. Making the critical good choice is essentially what matters.

Most gamblers don't walk away, they simply can't do it because of the urge that keeps them gambling telling them over and over again that they will win in the next few bets which never happens but they still keep their hopes up and keep gambling until they have nothing left and that is when they stop and get away, not because of anything else but because they have no money left to gamble more when they have more money, they deposit and start again.

I've seen a lot of gamblers doing that when they have exhausted their bankroll in the hope that they might hit a big win and recover everything, they simply deposit more if they have money somewhere, and they might even lose that too, and then start regretting, but they just can't stop themselves.

Not all clever enough but all has the ability to plan before they start. They only need to make sure that they will stick on it. It's not easy especially if you already started in a wrong way but just be patient and endure the pain. You will soon get used to this and hopefully, you will not go back in your old routine anymore. Addict or not, there will be a time where we will stop doing the activity.

To Carry on or doing the activity continuously, is not a solution but it can only cause us a problem. Each has our own capacity but I think it's better stop once we already reach our target or even we lose all our first deposit. Given that it's already a sufficient amount.

This kind of situation will never cease to exist as long as there is no school for gamblers to guide them through their journey to placing a bet. Every gambler is basically a learner on its own, and at some point too, you can learn some things from other gamblers. The question is, what if you are learning from a bad gambler? It means the person can still be influenced. Chasing Losses in gambling is bad, but it's absolutely inevitable in the lives of some gamblers. Yes, I also came across the thread where the student gambled with the school fee. But the worst thing a compulsive gambler can do is commit suicide. It's really terrible to do such a thing.

Life is to live and we don't have the right to end it. We haven't made our life, our parents have given it and we're living it in the way we're taught and we've learnt. To some extent we'll be under the guidance of parents and guardians, beyond that it is the self learning and the practice that makes the person make decisions. As said losing is common and we should have the mind to accept it. When we go behind the losses to recover it we'll end up losing more and more. The continued losing streak and unable to achieve anything in life makes them end the life. We should not let our mind go to such extent at any situation.

Standing on your own decision as a gambler can be that easy to do when you're what I would describe as a one man squad gambler. A kind of gambler that doesn't have some group of fellow gambling friends but does his thing alone.
But it would be difficult to have your decision untouched when you are that type of gambler that has an exclusive clique of gamblers and this clique can influence your decision. You may try to hold on but there's a 50/50 chance of you or any gambler that finds himself with cliques to bow to pressure at some point. It is like a peer group influence.

Commiting suicide is becoming a common thing as people turn to suicide to avoid dealing with their mistakes. The rate of suicide is increasing and an addictive gambler that would have lost all their savings or money they borrowed to gamble could turn to suicide to end it.

There are some online courses on been a profitable gamblers, I haven't taken the courses but have seen lots of reviews of how they improved after taking the courses online. Maybe they're lying or not but those courses can be considered a form of school for gamblers.

There's mentorship in every activity on earth so there would be mentorship on gambling as well but the mentorship might just be about teaching you how to bet still you need to develop your own strategies of betting and depending on your won luck to win when you bet

I don't agree with the statement "if you quit, that's when you lose". Because if you did not, is there an assurance you'll get back what you lost or be a gainer? No right. Thus, if you know the risk of gambling you'll not get easily influence by this saying.

If I quit, it's because of my own decision and not because I am influence of what other gamblers have to say. You don't have to depend to anyone when making a decision and you don't have to listen unless it's for your own good. Like giving advice to have self-control or play in moderation.

It will come back to each person because our decisions should not be influenced by what others say or suggest. We must have a strong stance to not follow what other people say. But the reality is that often our decisions are based on what other people say and we immediately take their advice without thinking about how it will affect us or what we should do with the results we will get. And we often come back to them for advice on solving the problem because we tend not to think about solving it and instead expect advice from others.
