What would make you stop gambling?

[AniviaBtc]

Maybe realizing how it affects a person's health and financial status. Gambling is fun and entertaining, but it can also have a negative impact on someone's life who doesn't know his/her own limitation. I know few people who changed a lot when they got engaged in gambling, it changed their mindsets and perspective when it comes to money.

Emotional control is essential and also the priority before engaging in gambling. Because as you gamble and reflect on the effect of the losses in the game, it should not affect how you live in a day. I know sometimes losses in gambling make us hard to move and be productive so that we tend to become lazy and think of that every time. Minimizing your losses in gambling starts with a practice of managing your money on how much you'll spend in a certain game. Also never ever try to gamble when you're happy, that will make you hyped and out of control.

They just keep risking their money without even thinking the outcomes of their actions. Well unlike them I know how to control myself and I am aware of the possible consequences of my actions if I allow myself to get addicted in gambling but if ever I think realizing my situation will slap the reality inside me. It will make me understand how gambling changed my life and realize my mistakes.

Gamblers know that it is risky but still they continue to play with it because maybe they just want to relieve their stresses. That's their money so we don't have to do about it, we can just give them advice for them to realize things about gambling. Being addicted to gambling is a choice and not a mistake, so from the start, try to manage your money, your emotions, your time so that you'll never have a hard time gambling. Moderate gambling will help you to minimize your problems, in your home, work and family.

I think it would never stop. Even if I have a career, a passion or even if I have a lot of money, my gambling activity will never stop. It is not that I can't live without it, it is the one that shaped me to be me. I am addicted in the past, I think if that never happened I will not be the same person as myself today. Even if I grow old, I would surely be in my rocking chair using my laptop or mobile phone gambling online.

Oh well, I was thinking about quitting or when to stop gambling. Since I play for two purposes:
for fun and for gains.
If that two reasons I am holding has been deminished like it is not fun to gamble anymore and I am losing much that I think it isn't healthy anymore, then I think I should stop gambling by then. I know it's hard to say those things since we will go back and play but if we have determination to stop gambling, then we can.

I think for some of us, gambling is a part time effort, even if i win a million $, i would still continue to gamble.
I have to admit that the excitement i feel when my predictions comes to pass and the emotions that follows would make me not to stop gambling.

And note, when you are spending profits from gambling, its usually come with a sweet feeling.
NB: i like gambling, but i also gamble responsibly, please always do likewise, don't borrow to gamble.

the two things that come to my mind are:
- making enough or a lot of money.
- finding a passion (even relationshiprelated or life/activity related) that changes your priorities.

Not everyone gambles for money. Some gamble just to have fun and enjoy different risks they are taking. They just accept their winnings as a form of reward. Even if someone earns a lot of money, you shouldn't be surprised if they gamble. If you go to a high stakes table in a casino, you will mostly find rich people playing over there who doesn't care much about the money they are about to lose.
Passion might help someone stop gambling (more like an gambling addict) if he manages to focus well on his passion during his leisure hours.

are there any things in life that would make you stop gambling?

I guess the answer on this one is already been discussed and still been discussing in this thread How much money you need to win in gambling to stop gambling, I hope this'll help

- finding a passion (even relationshiprelated or life/activity related) that changes your priorities.
but can you see other things than that?

This is the most wonderful reason that could save anyone from gambling addiction, but only few are taking the chance to find their true passion because they are addicted to much in gambling, thinking that backing out is too late if they are going to find another thing that could give them money. But lucky for those who never stop trying other things rather than forcing themselves to something which they are not.

I've gambled before, I got addicted for a while, but then lucky me I got bored of it, because it is tiring to lose your money every single day, and that is the exact opposite of what I wanted, which is to earn money. As of now, I am pursuing my career as a freelancer in every fields as long as I am making money out of it.

For time being i have no plan to stop gambling so this questions basically not for me but according to the people
in my country why they decide to stop gambling is not about how much money they earned because they says money won't satisfied them so although people have a lot of money but it won't stop them to gamble and i think this reason above could be the main factor that family or their relationship will became their main priorities above gambling

I am gambling as my past time only so what in mind if I were to ask what makes me stop gambling are these scenario.

* If I will decide to stop it, I can stop gambling anytime as I am not addicted to it or will be addicted to it in the future.
* If I will be bored to gambling especially if I am not winning anymore as I am very unlucky in terms of gambling and I already lost a big amount of money to it.
* If I will have no time for gambling anymore, like I will be busy with my work then in day off I will be busy with my family.

That two reasons above are the main reasons why a person stops gambling, but in my own opinion, the reasons why a person becomes addicted to gambling can be the reason too to stop them. For example, slot machine players may gamble to win money, for enjoyment and excitement, to socialize, and to escape negative feelings. As people progress from social to regular and finally to excessive gambling, there are often significant changes in their reasons for gambling. So one of the purposes of the person why they are gambling is to earn money and enjoyment, and once they don't feel that anymore, then they will going to stop gambling.
Before I was addicted to gambling, I am happy playing it because, most of the time, I win the game. But my excitement and enjoyment of gambling changes because of some priorities, I realized that I am already adult. I need to explore myself in other things, so I stopped it, and I focused on my studies, my part-time job, and my relationship. It feels good to expose yourself to other things than gambling.

Always put in your mind that gambling is not a kind of source of income, in that way, you will realize that gambling is for an only fun activity and not just for money. Quitting in gambling is not easy, just like to quit smoking you can't overcome quickly. You will not end up quitting if you know how to control your self from the start. Nevertheless, if that is too much worst addiction, seek support from someone you feel you can trust and ask advice.

Right, I agree with those two reasons. Another thing may be due to the responsibility for his own family, because day by day more and more costs will be needed for daily living needs and other bills, it will make you do not have enough money to gamble if you only gamble with money can be spent. The second reason is that when you are born into a religious family it is very possible that your thinking will change over time, because we know that someone who is religious will consider gambling to be a bad thing to do.

Whenever I gain profit from playing and I already regain my capital I will instantly stop. Although, it's hard to stop if you already earn profit still we need to control ourselves or our eagerness to earn more profit because it might end up losing entire funds. Yet, we should be more responsible for playing so we can control ourselves if we going to stop. Aside from that, once you already earn profit maybe try to stop or try to withdraw the profit that you have gain then play again, and if ever the funds that you left got lose maybe that time is the time to stop playing.

Not everyone gambles for money. Some gamble just to have fun and enjoy different risks they are taking. They just accept their winnings as a form of reward. Even if someone earns a lot of money, you shouldn't be surprised if they gamble.

Passion might help someone stop gambling (more like an gambling addict) if he manages to focus well on his passion during his leisure hours.

My all intention when I play gambling is to enjoy my time when I'm bored and I just play for fun and nothing more. But now, I just focus on doing trading than gambling that's why I limit myself when spending money on it.  For me, it's better to risk my money in trading rather than risking it on temporary happiness which is gambling. Some people have a passion for playing gambling but still, you need to manage it because all your money is in high stakes.

- making enough or a lot of money.

I think this reason is why many people are keeping on playing gambling, why do we keep our heads the first place into betting, to begin with, and sometimes because of this people tend to become addicted to it.

- finding a passion (even relationshiprelated or life/activity related) that changes your priorities.

Well, many people look at gambling as their passion that is why some people are giving them the moniker of professional gamblers even though there is no professionalism in playing it, well maybe just a hustler in the game.


I think for me the thing might turn me away from gambling is

- if I am not winning anymore
- I am not getting any profit on what I am doing
- or a person gets broke because of it

I think a much negative reason we can add on and on that involves gambling into it.

When i almost lost my family,when there comes a time that i become addicted and my wife almost lose me,the laat time she talk to me saying i better choose between my kids and her or my gambling addiction, that is the main reason i need to stop gambling

But now as i am a new person ?i can just play and bet with moderation and with my wifes consent ,sometimes we even play together.

Personally, I agree that our family was the most powerful thing that you can think of to shake of this gambling addiction. If you are the kind of person who loved his family then this is the perfect reason to get out of this industry. Gambling addiction harms everyone surrounds you and even for yourself and to leave this behaviour you could have either ask for some help or turn it over in other recreational activities. Honestly, gambling isn't bad especially if you are just using it as for fun but as a source of income, it would be different.

Or you could say that it as well as if your money wasn't enough anymore to gamble (meaning you're bankrupt or out of money). There are many things that can stop a person on gambling and that is when to the point you have to tradeoff and all of that was for good; it may because you have done to make enough money to live for or stop because addiction put you through and rehab and other priorities rather than just gambling to focus on. Not that I experienced these but as I've read a lot of same stories and even encounter real people with the same problems these are mostly the things they consider stopping it.

In my own personal opinion, a love of family is not enough to stop a person from being addicted in gambling because there are some people who doesn't care any of their family members that they are being selfish, that is why rehabilitation services is some ofher ways to help a gambler to stop playing.

 If you are addicted to gambling!!You can stay away from gambling when you don't have the money and You can return when you have the money!!! And I think the only reason we steer clear of gambling is desire, If the desire is available it will be easy to get away and if there is no desire it can not move away.

[CucakRowo]

What would make me to stop gambling _{on temporary basis} :

• Power outage
• I was busy with my daily activities
• I was busy while trading alts
• Terrible internet connection
• Wife asked me to accompany her for shopping

For sure i will stop gambling.

The point : always makes your head and brain busy, it will stop you to hold a dice, cards and its kind.

Stopping from gambling has nothing to do with money even if you have all the money in the world if you are very much into gambling you will still gamble, it has something to do with priorities if you realized that there are immediate priorities that you need to address, then you can leave gambling but you need a strong will to do that.

Definitely there are other things.Important one going bankrupt will make you to stop doing gambling.

I do agree with the point one but anyone in the world will be contented with what they making definitely no they still want more and more even the richest person in the wolrd has that mindset so people having intention of making money have less chances to stop gambling even if they won big amounts.
