Don’t push playing more

[madnessteat]

I see too many people playing way too often. I couldn't agree more that taking a break between gambling, especially when you've got a problem or you simply gamble a whole lot, it's always good to take a break for mental health.  To me gambling should be something that is a fun hobby for people, not something that people should be doing every day and stressing themselves out with.

If a person has a serious gambling problem, he needs to either stop gambling completely, or learn to control himself and his money while gambling, and not to take breaks.

Any gambler who has long abstained from gambling, well remember the greedy feeling with which he returns to the game after a break. Sometimes at such a moment you can spend even more than you were going to spend at first.

Controlling your interruptions helps if you do not have a gambling addiction and want to reduce the likelihood of having one.

This is what I’m trying to share here. If you really feel that your gambling doesn’t want to make you move forward by having decent profit and just giving you a hard time then don’t hesitate to quit! Don’t push forward while you are already playing uncomfortably because this will just make you bet recklessly.

I totally agree with you on what you just said above, as I'm convinced this is one of the best gambling advise I have ever heard since the beginning of the year (i.e to know when to quit), because this has been one of the major problem among gamblers for not knowing when to quit and say "No" to gambling after many several loses, to avoid going into debt, after you may have borrowed money, and lost due to lack of self control, not knowing when to stop. Because though gambling could be life changing if you are lucky, but however, it's not a do-or-die affair.

This is true about everything, when people are having fun they do not want to listen to a speech regarding their responsibilities and controlling their expenses, so they ignore everything on the pursuit of their enjoyment, but this is a dangerous attitude to have, as if they gamble without any limits then one day they will be unable to accept the negative results they are getting and make bets that are a little bit too rich for them, and once they realize what they have done they will regret their actions, but by then it is too late to do anything to change what they did.

You're right, control and self-limitation are very important when it comes to gambling and most people often forget that because of the excitement when they get lucky in gambling, want to get back what they lost, etc. There is nothing wrong with having fun, just don't overdo it and don't forget the responsibilities so you don't regret it later. We know that regret always comes last.

Nothing else can help you except limits and self-control, if they don't apply to their gambling then I'm sure they will have the same fate in terms of downturns as those who are already addicted. I think most of them forget that self-control because they are too cool to play and too focused on chasing victory there so that they should stop but instead continue to play because they are tempted by what they see until finally well defeat happens to them again.

It should be like that, as you said, indeed we must be a responsible gambler, whatever the results, especially defeat, we must be able to accept it gracefully, because obviously if we are carried away by emotions then we will continue to play without taking into account how many defeats and losses we have experienced. True, regret will always come at the end, so it is better from now on we think about it and avoid something that should not be done.

Today I encountered again my biggest nemesis on gambling which is being stuck on my gambling progress. I’ve gambling for multiple days in a row with just having a breakeven on my total bankroll. This due to the game doesn’t gave me any long winning streak and only just more losses. The only thing that makes me keep up on the breakeven side is the increased on wager to recover my losses but my gambling result is literally 1 win to 3 or more losses ratio. This is how bad my overall game.

The only good news is this time I remember how this weakness of mine always makes me lose in the past so I stop already gambling and take a break. This is what I’m trying to share here. If you really feel that your gambling doesn’t want to make you move forward by having decent profit and just giving you a hard time then don’t hesitate to quit! Don’t push forward while you are already playing uncomfortably because this will just make you bet recklessly.

Have a break and just gamble newt week or month because a lucky game will make you win easily and not with a very hard to win winning condition.

Quitting gambling is as hard as pressing stop loss in trading. If traders read me, they will understand. Admitting that you are losing more than you are winning is the first step to stopping and stopping spending money on the game.
As a rule, psychologists say that almost all players are real fighters by nature. I mean a strong character and an unwillingness to give up, a desire to go to the end at all costs. And this character trait plays against the personality itself, since in the context of gambling this is nothing more than giving all your funds to the casino. And then - debts, microloans, lies to loved ones and an unrealistic desire to recoup. Push off from the bottom and ascend, but this moment never comes.

Yes, exactly.

It's a powerful addiction in the end, just like alcohol.

"I will never drink again", and then the addicted person goes and gets a drink. There's never a last one.

It's the same with gambling, the gambler goes and thinks the next one will be the last one where they win big, but that last one never arrives.

Right. Thats why I salute those who atleast try to refrain from excessive gambling same for those who made it through. Even the first step to become conscious about your bad gambling habit is alteady difficult. I just know people who until today are still trying to overcome their gambling problems. By slowly replacing gambling activities with other hobbies and being consistent, they gradually reduce and I hope that they eventually quit gambling or even just manage. It's all about self-discipline and finding healthier alternatives to occupy your time. Kudos to those taking the responsible path!

We can salute them but we must also be like them in trying to refrain from excessive gambling. We want to avoid experiencing so many losses that we must be even stricter in managing our budget. This is all for our good so we will not experience gambling addiction.

Maybe it is difficult to do, but we must keep trying. That's all we have to do so that we can get used to controlling ourselves from excessive gambling. And we can be responsible gamblers like others have done.

Self-discipline is difficult but we can do it. And don't forget to have other activities so we don't think about gambling. We can also limit time and money for gambling.

[BitcoinTurk]

That's a long break, and it must have had an impact on you. It can stop being fun when you're experiencing losses. Personally, when I say "fun," I mean enjoying something regularly, but losing large amounts in gambling is not enjoyable. Sometimes, I tend to be unrealistic because I only focus on the happy moments in gambling, and during times of losses, it feels like I'm not winning at all.

I've come to realize that keeping a record of my gambling activity is essential if I want to keep track of my status, but it can take away from the fun aspect because it makes me feel like I'm taking gambling too seriously, almost like considering it a way to earn a living.

The best way to have fun is not to worry about budgeting, simply enjoy gambling, and if you win, go ahead and spend it all, then repeat the process.

Yes, I know this isn't a long enough break but this process is sufficient for me since I gamble for fun and don't exceed the limits I set without violating my own rules and have low losses. In addition, because I gamble not frequently and regularly but in certain periods, I take such short breaks during these periods. Especially when I examine the last few months, I see that I have had very low losses most of the time and this indicates that gambling is not a problem for me but it's fun for me. Since I'm definitely not someone who always wins at gambling I know when I should be happy if I win and when I should be sad and I don't ignore the games I constantly lose.

I never keep a record of my gambling activities because as I mentioned I have not had a loss that I would regret in a very long time and I think it isn't fun if constant records are kept. For this reason, I don't have any gambling records of my own and I only monitor my gambling activities by checking the deposit-withdrawal and gambling-betting history provided by the casino. Also, since I have long considered gambling as an expensive hobby rather than a method of earning money I definitely don't play for profit.

Just as you stated in your last sentence, I see gambling as a means of fun and for this reason I prefer to play games only with the amount that I will not be upset if I lose, usually until I consume my entire balance and I don't keep a record of this in any way. In the very rare case that I win several multiplier my money, I transfer that money to my wallet and use it again later when I want to gamble or use it for my personal expenses.

People believe that alcohol addiction games have completely different foundations, but in fact they are very similar. The fact is that in each of these cases, a person is trying to achieve a special state of his nervous system, a kind of trance. With alcohol addiction, everything is simple and clear - I got drunk, became drunk. as for gambling addiction, a person tries to enter a state when only he is the master of his life, when everything is simple and clear: here is the bet, here are the chances. And the casino helps him in every way in this, the gaming service pretends to be a simple tool to achieve goals, but in fact the casino of course pursues only selfish goals.

Totally quitting in gambling is indeed very hard to do but pausing a game is easy if you have a conditional breaks setup on your game. I list a lot of scenarios that triggers me for a lose game. I use this experience of mistakes to make my game more control now even in the presence greed.

The word quitting is really impossible to do by a gambler that already exerts a lot of time and effort on gambling because they will keep want to play and win more even if they are losing.

I totally agree with you on what you just said above, as I'm convinced this is one of the best gambling advise I have ever heard since the beginning of the year (i.e to know when to quit), because this has been one of the major problem among gamblers for not knowing when to quit and say "No" to gambling after many several loses, to avoid going into debt, after you may have borrowed money, and lost due to lack of self control, not knowing when to stop.

I’m glad that some user appreciate my share of experience. I will contribute more of this later as long as someone here might use this in future when they encounter same scenario.

Though I'm not that big of a trader, I still get the reference and I can definitely understand how difficult it can be to see your trades hitting the stop-loss when you obviously want it to hit the sell target and give you some profit, but when it comes to gambling, stopping actually saves you from incurring more losses whereas in trading, you might not incur losses without a stop-loss but you might get your capital or a portion of it stuck in that trade, especially if you are trading in the spot market.

So, it basically becomes a necessity for a gambler to put a stop to their gambling if they see that it's slowly eating up all their belongings and they are not seeing any profit which isn't the case with trading because one of your trades might fail but you will eventually recover from it and you can get more successful trades after that.

You are lucky that you can still remember your weaknesses in the past so that you can stop gambling and take a break. Yes, that is the best thing you can do to stop a study that is not giving you good results. And I agree that if we have been gambling for a while, we must immediately stop gambling so we don't think about trying to win. When you play for too long, you might think about recovering previous losses and still want to win even though you already had a previous win, even though it wasn't much.

By resting, you can calm yourself from gambling which might occupy your attention. And it is true that when playing gambling, we don't need to force ourselves to keep playing, especially if we feel bored or fed up. It can trigger us to place bigger bets than before. And by resting, you can do other things that might be useful for you.

We all can remember it. The only way we can forget it is if we have an amnesia but I think this is a rare condition. The only problem is many of us are hard-headed and can't seem to learn from our past mistakes. Gambling for a while can also mean for a short period of time, so why stop immediately? But if you mean if we are already gambling for a long time and it was mostly the disadvantage is the one that we experience, then yeah. We should stop now even if it's already a little late.

In addition to all that you have said, self control and budgeting is paramount to help any gambler stay healthy in the game and not get to the point of addiction. It's often not emphasize by most persons but the importance of these can not be overly emphasised as when applied the results will definitely be pleasing and Worth trying, it's tried and tested to work effectively.

If a gambler is able to control their shelves as it has to do with their habit in gambling, if they can control themselves enough on how often they visit the gambling site, offline or online, they could set rule's to keep them from often visiting and try to stick to the rules, if they could attain that level of self control such that they don't do what they don want to do at certain time then they would most likely gamble responsibly

Budgeting is important aswell as you know how much you are willing to risk before visiting the casino and you try to stick to it well enough not to spend above your budget at the casino. This helps you save money and cut your losses aswell.

However, they really need to control themselves and have a clear budget before gambling so they will not fall into gambling addiction. If gamblers could have those things, they would not be addicted to gambling and would use gambling as they should because they realize that gambling is just entertainment.

This requires continuous practice because we have our weakest moments as humans. And when we are weak, that's when we can be tempted. But the temptation will not increase because we can immediately remember that this is gambling and we should not just follow our desires.

By having a budget, we can remember how much we can use and not exceed the limits. Otherwise, we will only lose more money and also lose self-control.

That's the thing, gambling is as dangerous as alcohol drinking, if not more.

Of course it can be done in moderation, but the moment it is done beyond moderation, it is a big problem, and not many people are prepared to confront that.

If gamblers could have those things, they would not be addicted to gambling and would use gambling as they should because they realize that gambling is just entertainment.

It may be true that some gamblers do not have a clear budget so they prefer to spend their money only on gambling but if this continues of course they will become addicted to gambling and continue to do so without caring about other things and will have a bad impact on themselves with curiosity, selfishness, and greed that arises in themselves. In fact, in my opinion, at a sufficient age we must have our own needs even though we cannot earn our own income yet.

This requires continuous practice because we have our weakest moments as humans. And when we are weak, that's when we can be tempted. But the temptation will not increase because we can immediately remember that this is gambling and we should not just follow our desires.

By having a budget, we can remember how much we can use and not exceed the limits. Otherwise, we will only lose more money and also lose self-control.

Even with constant practice and also being helped by encouragement or support from those closest to them to stop, it will be useless if they themselves are still hesitant to leave gambling or there is still a sense of wanting to gamble with a high thirst for victory and emotions. If they can control their emotions and control themselves when playing with the aim of just entertainment, maybe there will be no bad effects that can spend all their money. Even if they have a budget that they must pay, in my opinion, for the addict it is not something that can prevent him from returning to gambling again, he can borrow here and there to return to gambling.

Nice speech  let push forward gamble could be more uncomfortable or very hard but you can still win

I don’t consider my post as speech  because it’s too formal but rather just a sharing of opinion and probably to help other gamblers here especially newbie that encounter struggles when they are pursuing gambling journey.

The popularity of signature campaign for casino in the forum makes the participants involved in gambling as part of their requirements. It’s very to ignore the curiosity to gamble when you are promoting one and consistently reading post about gambling. My main goal on my recent share of opinion is specifically for newbie like you just in case this scenario hits you hard.

I experienced a lot of losses including many huge losses due to my mistakes. I’m proud now that there’s no major losses happening to in most of my gambling game due to my lesson learned from my experience in the past. I will lock now this thread to avoid further unnecessary discussion.
