What would make you stop gambling?

[joshy23]

Losing all your money is one compelling reason to stop. Gambling on debt would only make your problems worse. Having zeroed out would push you to rethink your decisions and might set you to another hobby as you say, and just change yourself, or accept your fate. Nonetheless, you should avoid going to that point and always self-control your gambling habits as you possibky could.

Most people definitely stop on gambling after a very devastating loss. But the point of this topic is to find ways that would help you avoid that point of no return. We want to pull the weeds out before it grows. That being said, I think the best alternative is to keep yourself active. Do other things besides gambling like business. If you let gambling take your lifestyle, it's going to eat up on you in the process. Leaving you like an empty husk once everything is already done.

Doing other activities and not focusing your mindset into gambling alone will give you a good chance to stop this habit. Gambling for entertainment purposes and nothing else, knowing you limitations and find yourself other interesting activities such as sports or any group activities can melt any
bad effects of gambling around your brain-cells.

Actually, I think there are more moving into the debt zone when suffering from a devastating loss than quitters. I've got enough friends who have borrowed tons of money trying to get out of the hole they've buried themselves into, but unfortunately they lost that money too so now they're in deep debt.

Gambling is like a disease same as drug addiction. Once addicted it is quite hard to get out of the same until the person himself realise his situation and take necessary action. From my personal gambling experience I've lost much in a short term missing winning opportunities. By the time I tried possible ways to get back what I lost, but later on understanding the reality of having self control and the truth about gambling myself made my mind and limited my spending. This is how it is possible to get out of gambling.

Though, with personal choice, I have drastically reduced the amount of time I gamble, and so far, I am enjoying it.
However, in answering your question, if I where to be in that situation, then it will be my family. Family are everything, and seeing them in misery because of one's gambling life can bring so much sad experience. And I have seen so many people who quit gambling because it was hurting their family. I think it's the best.

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

Nothing can stop me from gambling 100%, at least reducing gambling from emotional to being relaxed and in control.

There are some things that encourage me to reduce gambling.
In my daily life.

1. Positive family drive.
2. Encouragement of closest friends.
3. From the mistakes I made, money ran out on the gambling table, without counting where it came from, so it was a disaster for me.

I sometimes think, if I can spend $ 1,000 a month on the gambling table, why don't I just invest or open a business for my family.

Maybe now I can at least reduce gambling, as I mentioned above.
All of that goes back to me, where I am going to live my life and my family, to the straight road or to the grim road.

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

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.

but can you see other things than that?

Priorities is the biggest factor that can make people to stop in gambling. When people reaches their age in adulthood, their priorities will be changed and will depends on what they need for themselves. When they are in adolescence or maybe teenager stage, they have a lot of time and looking for fun so they start in gambling. I think there is no other things that will make other to stop gambling, well, maybe realization when they lose.

If you are within the limits then it is fine and if you gamble just for entertainment that is also fine, but if you develop the habit of gambling just to keep on making money then that would hurt you because you may get addicted sooner or later to this and may find it difficult to quit . But if you are in control and can quit if required then that is the good sign .

Lack of money.

If I lose all of my money, I will stop gambling. I'm not like the other gamblers out there who will find a way in order for them to have money that will be use for gambling. I stopped gambling already because I can't save any penny at the times where I gambled everyday. Now I can save more money because I stopped gambling.

Lack of money and at the same time, usage of money.

I agree lack of money is the reason why I stop gambling because its not easy to gamble when you dont have enough money to play. Also having lack of time is one of my reason to stop gambling because not all the time I can gamble because I have work to do, even gambling can give me profit still not good to depend on it because not all ths fime i'll win. I think its better to have time management to still continue gambling even if you have work to do.

Indeed, some gamblers still have good control not to make loans or maybe other crimes to have money to gamble. I personally never stop because of lack of money, because when I want to gamble, whereas I do not have money, then I will borrow money just to gamble but what happens, gambling with the money I borrow always gives good results and at least it is an experience that I experienced in the past. For now I have stopped gambling or rather reduced the time to gamble because indeed having other activities is one way for me to be able to stop gambling.

Family. Money. Reputation.
3 things that I can't leave.
I do not worry about a thing but if its my family I simply choose them. Someone could have a better reason but I do not make an exemptions when it comes to them.

Money. Its an obvious thing for all, no money, no bet, no play.

Reputation. I might get what I want here, be famous for winning or losing but still if losing I don't want to cause any trouble with my own reputation that I've invested and cared for a long time. If gambling will destroy it then I guess its not for me.


Simply winning big is not enough, there are some reason that I've said on the past the winning a money that I can live my whole life on a better way but know I've come to realize that it wasn't enough. Someone should think more. Not just for his/herself but the betterment of all in his environment.

If it already affects my family and my child. This is a serious matter like you need to put them first as your priority before anything else even it will cost your passion or hobby. Saying about having a lot of money, this will urge you to become confident and gamble more, you can play unstoppable because money is not a problem. So if those factors are affecting you personally, emotionally and your family is also the most affected one you need to man up and push yourself to stop or reduce it a bit.

I think a lot of things could make you stop gambling but sometimes gambling was just your entertainment in my case this is my reason:

1. Winning a big amount of money(temporary)
2.Losing a big amount of money (temporary)
3.Environment (temporary)
4. Influence
5.Discipline/own decision

The only thing that may stop me from gambling if all gambling sites vanishes but since it was impossible to happen, it is really hard to make it.
Though our family, friends, and relatives would like to stop us and yet, this is all just temporary. Being a gambler will certainly find a way to gamble especially when you are deeply addicted to it and especially when you know that you have luck in gambling.

That is why the number of gambling sites (online or offline) is growing. This simply means that many people are becoming a gambler rather than a badly quitters. And I don't think that many gamblers are supposed to end their life in gambling but rather to continue, maybe we could say as it's minimal spend time but not really that they stopping it now.

Sounds like you might have a problem if that is the case bro.

You shouldn't be so eager to play, to such a degree that it would stay the complete extinction of all gambling sites for you to stop. Doesn't that sound like a worrying mindset to you?

Maybe speak to a counsellor about that.

Have enough money to stops gambling because the main reason why people are involved in gambling are they need money, gambling is the best way to get money once you gonna win. So many people are gambling in that situation. So they're have enough money I think they stop in gambling.

I doubt it, because having enough is not the reason why we want to stop gambling, sometimes gambling becomes our hobby, so even when we have that target money already obtained still , we play gambling and we will not stop it, but everything must be in control, and it cannot be abuse, so that it would be good for our emotional health as well, we can prevent to be addicted in gambling and can manage our wealth as well.

Many factors can say but not have money because people can loan it. People can stop gambling after get profit for retired or arrested by the law. Gambling is funny game involve money with high risk, when addict come nothing you can do and crime is the only solutions. You can gambling but not using daily need or saving money, be wise with your money and your future.

But, how long people will keep on getting loan? I believe running out of money must be the biggest thing for most gamblers to stop at some point. Getting arrested by the law must be an unique case hence we cannot consider that as a common one. Getting retired after making considerable profits will be possible for many gamblers hence might be one of the reason for few gamblers to stop.

But, to stop after big profit, you must be having very good emotion control because only if you are too discipline, it will be possible to stop gambling with profits. If we need to consider only common thing, most gamblers will be stopping because of lack of funds to continue. Getting busted is a common thing in gambling which could end some gamblers' gambling life.

Nothing really is going to make me stop gambling.
I am not a passionate gambler, and I do not bet a lot of money. I gamble when I want to trust my luck and I want to make money from it but in big amounts. That's why I do not think of stopping gambling.
