For and addicted gambler, no amount of profit will stop them from gambling because they are addicts.

For reasonable people though this is not true and one might stop after winning a set amount of money. But there's no end of greediness.

In my case, I will stop after winning 10 BTC because I'll be too busy Driving my Porsche instead of Gambling^^

How many BTC it would take for you to quit gambling and why? Or, if any amount of BTC would make you quit gambling at all.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

1 bitcoin would be enough if the price of bitcoin is already $1,000,000 or $500,000. That will be enough for me to move to another life and find another hobby or maybe I can start with that amount having some vacations first and then for business too.

I think, 5 BTC enough to stop gambling and enjoy the holiday. But I think, I think too far to get that value.  Grin

I think that I would not have too much fun gambling if I owned more than, say, 1 million euros.
Gambling seems rather pointless if you have that much money and I'm not really looking to become a high roller, gambling with a few thousand euros per bet or anything like that.

If we're talking about BTC exclusively, I think around 20 BTC should be enough Wink

How many BTC it would take for you to quit gambling and why? Or, if any amount of BTC would make you quit gambling at all.



Probably around 5-10 BTC I would say. Specially if the price of bitcoin is around $100K or more. LOL. We are going to be rich that its really better to just put your money in good use like buying expensive cars and houses and probably put a business to keep you busy and forgot about gambling.

Well its not bad if you are going to play from time to time, but I will definitely change my priorities in life if ever I won that amount of bitcoin.

There will always be greediness on our part, it will not end, but sometimes you need to think about your future of your families and kids. Better quit when you have enough already.

It is difficult to answer for me. Because i have no limit to earn from gambling and then i quit it. I don't want to quit gambling and especially forever. I always continue it, even if i win jackpot then also i never quit gambling. In my thinking, i don't use gambling to make bitcoins from it, i only have desire to win in gambling and play gambling.

It would be hard to make the decision. My profit target from gambling is, 1 BTC. I think that's enough but I don't even reach it at all, it has been around 1 year since I promised I will stop gambling if I got 1 BTC from gambling. If I win a certain amount of bitcoin, I immediately bet with those winning amount from my bet, again. I do not know why I don't just immediately withdraw of my profits, my greediness was affecting me to do more bet.

I'm not addicted to gambling, but If I could hit the jackpot, I wouldn't stop gambling at once because it's not about the profit, it's all about the feelings and emotions that you experience after that)

1. I am not addicted to gambling so I will never consider gambling as best way to make profit.
2. When you will win 10BTC you will get greedy for sure or when you will make 9BTC you might keep on playing to reach that 10 mark but you might also loss all of those 9BTC in the process.
3. There is no limit for gamblers, they will never satisfies with any amount of bitcoin.

10BTC is so much for me but I want to earn it from other than gambling... Wink

Dude I have seen 50 BTC bets on Nitrogen like 2 years ago. Imagine if those guys hadn't lost or hadn't sold their profits from these betslips back then. They would have been multimillionaires. Perhaps some already are and are retired from betting spending their days sipping martinis on some sun-kissed island resort accompanied by nice exotic ladies.

Yeah, I think we can't really say for certain how much bitcoins to win before we can finally say "adios" to gambling. Same case with fiat as well. Specially if you are really addicted to it, winning 5 or even 10 bitcoin is nothing for you. You will still seek that adrenaline rush that you get when playing. I remember one person who won big in our place, he didn't stop, and still went the next day and the next, until one day everything is gone. If he just quit and enjoy his life to the fullest sipping martinis and having exotic ladies at his side, LOL, he would have made him very happy. Unfortunately, the only thing is his mind is that he wants to play and no amount of money could really stop him from chasing more moolah. So its really hard to answer the OP. Personally, I wouldn't quit as well.  Grin

True, the number can be changed from time to time. As a human, we will never satisfy with what we've got. But personally I have a plan to do other stuff if I had 5 BTC or more therefore I maybe will stop gambling at that point.

For few people its not the money which attracts them all alone to gamble. So even if they get more money, they will come and play with there gifted Bitcoins. About my personal views, I also don't think some terms for quitting Gambling would be of any help as I enjoy gambling, I come very rarely nowadays and also my input is restricted and very small per day.

I agree, The last time I gambled on Primedice, I lost all my profit thanks to my greediness.
Deposited 0.7 BTC (this was back in 2016) gambled a bit safely, reached ~0.9 BTC, Was quite excited seeing my profit and how close I was to get a whole figure of 1 BTC, I kept on going just as to get the figure of 1 BTC, and you can guess the result.

My account now has a -0.7132 BTC profit  Smiley

I can't recall if that was posted here or not or almost the same thing that he lost that amount.

50-100BTC will do for me to quit gambling and I'll be also happy to drive my own car that I wish to buy but the price of bitcoin should range from $15,000 onwards.

How many BTC it would take for you to quit gambling and why? Or, if any amount of BTC would make you quit gambling at all.




Is depend on that people itself, for me before we play gambling must set the budget, if not will lose more money.
Example : you can set 20 BTC for your budget to play. Is depend on your capacity to play it.

20 BTC is going to be sufficient for the rest of my life. I have other ways to live and this will be just put into my savings+investment so I don't have to worry with my daily living, this will be enough for me to quit gambling forever but I don't know if this will also tempt me to have a pinch on that amount.

Yep. 20BTC is too big as of now, Even 10BTC is enough for me for the rest of my life. At this current rate, That is greater to the total amount of my salary that I will earn for 20 years of work. In my personal experience, I stop gambling not because I win BIG amount but after I lose a huge amount. Is it impossible for a gambler to stop at a profit streak. It is very rare scenario were on profit gambler stop gambling.
