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

Well, that depends on the individual. There are a lot of Gambling addicts tend to stop when they already engage in a life and death situations. Though I partially agree that it's hard for an addict to stop such addiction, It may take them a lot of efforts and time for them to overcome it.

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.

Greed is already part of our human nature and most likely it's impossible for us to remove it in our system. Even how responsible a person is there would be a time that Greed will somehow enter the picture and definitely will help it to lose our control over ourselves.

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.

It's easy to say than done, most likely before I could reach that kind amount of money there would be a chance that I will lose more than I'll ever want. Though 20 BTC would be enough. I could start up a small business with that amount and somehow I already have secured my family's future.

20 BTC, maybe ? Well, i lost so much money on gambling in the last 5 years. If i can win 20 bitcoins or even more on gambling, maybe i will quit gambling forever. I think 20-40 bitcoins is enough for cover all my loses on gambling in the last 5 years. Tbh i don't think i can't leave gambling even i win 20btcs.

Forever stopped from gambling I think 1 Bitcoin is enough, and from 1 Bitcoin I will use for business capital. so I can have a busy life in my place of business, and I also will not come back to play gambling anymore.

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

Then you'll back gamble after you have spent the winning on your holiday. I think addicted gambler will never stop even though he/she has just won so huge amount. Probably he/she will stop for a while only to enjoy the winning on something else then will back gamble sooner/later. It is just hard to stop gambling once you are addicted.

I think winning wont make anyone stop gambling, winning is going to make the gambler become more greedy and addicted, when you win 10 btc you  wont be buying porsche, but you  will think to double it again, so there are no winning  amount that will stop people from gambling, the one that can make people stop gambling is the losing amount

for me i can honestly say im not an addict gambler because i dont gamble oftenly. i mainly gamble once for every two weeks and sometimes once every month. i only quit gambling if i already double my balance , i dont set a specific amount to stop rather i only stop if i manage to win my bets in a single play. quitting gambling forever would be very hard for most of us , because gambling is not bad at all as long as you know your limits and its a heck fun and exciting because theres a money involved.

This has been a big question for me over this year. In February it would of probably been 100 BTC, but then I was also gambling for over 1 BTC / day. Today it is completely different though and I'm probably there with you on right around 10 BTC would be enough. I would probably just cash out half of it to travel a bit and keep the other half to invest accordingly Smiley.

Not that I'll ever reach that haha, but to dream is human.

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

Yeah, I would imagine it would take a lot of wealth for me to pick up new hobbies, that would probably mean I have no more time to gamble. If I had a million euros, though, the immediate use would be for two homes, one for myself and another for my family. Nice ones without being immodest, I'd say about 300k would be gone to that (including a maintenance fund for the next 25 years). Then to enjoy the world and all that I'd probably use that all up in the next five years, or choose to use it for the rest of my life, in which case I wouldn't have new expensive hobbies and still want to gamble.

But if some guy came up to me and asked this, I'd ask for 100 BTC. I'd probably end up taking even 5 BTC, to be honest. Any less and I'd be hesitant. I'm learning to gamble responsibly as I age, I do enjoy sportsbetting especially and who the hell doesn't look forward to poker night with friends, right?

If I had to pick a number of Bitcoins to completely quit gambling, it would be 10BTC. Although not for money or profit, I would still come down by casinos or sport books to place a few wagers, just to enjoy the thrills of the game. With enough money, I can keep myself engaged throughout the day doing various activities instead of having that 'gamble to win money' feeling in the back of my head.

It’s all relative really isn’t it.  I wouldn’t say I gamble that much to be honest, more of a passive thing to while away time every now and then so I haven’t actually spent that much on gambling. Therefore, it’s a really small threshold.  Considering my portfolio at the moment, say if I lost 1 BTC, I would definitely quit gambling for good.  Of course that’s because I don’t have much of it, if I had loads of BTC then 1 BTC would be a relatively small amount in the grand scheme of things.

Indeed, due to the recent rise of bitcoins, the amount of bitcoins you would lose before you quite is subjective to the current price of bitcoins. Probably the best would just be to equate it in terms of dollars or fiat since it is much more stable than bitcoin prices.

With the current price, I would say that if I lose 5 bitcoins in gambling I would never try to roll a dice ever again.

To be honest I want to quit gambling already but I can't, I just really can't help myself but when it comes to these type of conditions then 30 BTC will give me happiness to quit gambling forever. I promise that and I'll take look back at it though that will be enough to gamble again for a year or more.  Grin

I agree on the thing that theres no really end of greediness as long we do know that we do have still money to spent on which means setting a particular amount before you quit would really be destined to be broken because urge of playing gambling would really be there specially when you are already an addicted one.Even on myself cant really give an amount because as long i do have the money to spent on i will play gambling but only on moderation.

I think it will depend on the attitude of a person because for a professional gamblers money will not matter I believe no amount will make them stop gambling but for a normal person like me who do not do gambling frequently $100 loss is material and would probably will trigger me to stop gambling. It is very hard to earn bitcoin and now that the value keeps dropping losing my bitcoin in gambling will really make me feel so disappointed

Me i already quit in gambling even i do not get huge amount of bitcoin because i know addiction will lead to loose all my money and its hard to get back the money. Gambling is not a good way to earn money i think all of us know that it is only for fun.

Before i am to win 12BTC i always do parlay in sports betting but i am not lucky enough all my bets are lossing that is why early i decide to stop and focus in other method.

I am really not a fan of gambling that's why when I try it once and lose my earnings from a faucetvby betting them all in high and low game I decided right away not to engage to gambling anymore even some of my friends are really lucky to earn bitcoin I think that's not my way in becoming rich or should I say I'm not like them who can win good from gambling I better save and start having my own business that's a more sense to do

The problem with people and gambling, is no amount is enough to make them stop, greed is a sin that is in our nature and if don't,r control it will consume us, if go into gambling with a mindset that you will stop after you win you are going to come back and try again because you get blinded by the fact of how easy it is to make the money you win, and always come back for more until eventually your luck runs out and you lose what you have got, so people telling that they will stop at a certain amount is a lie.

With your Porsche, other rich people will be socializing with you and you would need money to be able to keep up with them. At first it's all good because you still have some money left. On the other hand, this life will go on because you are going to enjoy it and you wouldn't want it any other way. Of course if this actually happened to you, you will have some resistance to gamble because you would want to stand for your words.

You are just human and being human means having insatiable desires. You might say that you're going to be content with 10BTC and the things that you can buy with that amount of money but let me tell you something, once you're in that situation, your human instincts will kick in and you will continue to gamble. You're not greater than your human instincts unless you have trained long enough to be in control of them.

I'm not an addicted gambler and I don't gamble at all. Maybe just at times when I want to but I honestly think that it's a waste of time so I stopped gambling. But, that doesn't remove my knowledge about some basics of psychology and knowing that I'm just a human being with human instincts is one of them. I think some people might gamble even more once they have made tons of money from gambling.

I think one of the most distinct characteristic of a gambler is that they would never have enough; they would keep on going even if they don't have anything left. So when it comes to counting how much Bitcoin it would take a gambler to stop gambling forever, I think it can take them more than 50 Bitcoins (when the rate of Bitcoins is not as high) to do so or just even 1 (when 1 Bitcoin equates to a million or so). Maybe if they did have those amount of Bitcoin, it would make gambling more of a habit for them since they are just doing it solely for entertainment since they don't need the money, but nonetheless, I really think it depends on the perception of the person on when he's had enough.

you're kinda replacing one type of gambling with another so I'm not sure if the question makes sense.

it's like saying how much LSD should I give someone so they'll stop doing coke...
