Which is easier, stop when you are winning or stop when you are losing?

[mirakal]

I like to know your opinion about the question because I believe every gambler has a different way of managing himself.

My answer to the question is I can easily stop when I am winning because I am afraid I might end up with nothing since I know to myself that I am not yet consistent enough to win in gambling, however, based on my experience, I can't easily stop when I am losing despite the fact that I already set up a limit to gamble in a certain day or a certain session.

Do we have the same attitude or not?

Do we have the same attitude or not?

Probably the same because every time I lose in gambling, I don't feel like giving up easily, sometimes I tend to spend beyond the limit which most of time i regret the ending. I believe we will have no success in gambling if we don't know how to discipline ourselves, we have to think of long term rather short term for both situation (winning or losing) as that's the way we would not mess up our good plan, what is needed is the right execution.

This is my behavior when gambling:

1. When winning: I want more and more with a big smile on my face and I usually don't care about limits since I gamble with very small amounts.
2. When losing: I continue gambling until I lose my bankroll for the day. I don't focus on recovering my losses which is a fool's gambit majority of the time.

This mentality helps me enjoy the fun aspect of gambling without getting too serious about it and helped me win decent amounts sometimes.

when im loosing im raging and end up betting more until i came to the point that i bust  . when im winning i can limit myself more and ended up winning small amount only  .  i have tried pushing my limit or pushing out of my comfort zones but i always failed  .  i now then realized that maybe that is only my capacity  . im only a small time gambler so im tend to stick with this mentality because this is also for my own good because when i loose i cant easlly accept it   .

@mirakal all gamblers out here will have different answer, and there can be no generic answer to this question however it’s nice to know that you can stop yourself when you’re winning. In my case I can neither stop when I’m winning or when I’m loosing and the only way I can stop is when I run out of money, or my family members snatch my remaining money and I’m forced to leave the casino.

Well, I c0nsider myself different from you. Because at the time that I win, it gives me courage to play some more coz in my mind that I am lucky this time and I don't want to stop my winning streak. Losing is always in the way to happen and that is why I have to enjoy by then while I'm still winning for that it never happens all the time. Who knows, if we can make for at least a 3 straight wins if we keep playing.

I think the question cannot really cultivate a strong answer because, winning or losing it would always vary from the characteristic of a person. Even if he is winning or losing, if he could control himself/herself stopping from gambling would be possible.

It is mostly not about the result from gambling but, because of the person himself.

Took sometime to examine myself and I must say I can't come up with an answer because I hardly fine myself in any of the scenario above. I have a gambling budget for each day I intend gambling and immediately that budget is exhausted I don't refill. Supposedly I was losing, I'll keep betting until my budget is exhausted but it's likely I'll stop if I was losing than stop when I'm winning.

Some might consider it greed but I see it as seizing the moment (opportunity presented to me) meanwhile in the scenario of a lost, instead of acting foolishly by wanting to win back my money after I must have exhausted my budget and probably end up loosing more, it's best I just quit and call it a day.

[freedomgo]

I am more of gambling more when I lose, it's hard to control sometimes especially if you are in a situation where you started winning but you didn't stop because you want to achieve more and if are losing then you feel like you don't want to just stop easily.

I do have the same attitude as yours. I do stop after winning but always came back tomorrow to gamble again  .

[NeuroticFish]

For me it's clearly easier to stop when losing. At some point the funds are gone and the cooldown period until I'd transfer the money into the casino may help me think more clear and leave it. In my case I usually don't replenish at all.
If that doesn't work for other, there may be addiction and how big that is depends on how many times he tries to replenish.

I've almost never stopped directly at winning. Even in the good days, I had to lose once or twice after a big win streak to decide my luck has ended and I better stop.

I think for everyone else, it is very difficult to stop when winning because the vibes and excitements it brings makes you want to continue.

Likewise, it is equally had to stop when losing.

But for me, i have my limits when betting, so either i win excessively or lose distinctively. I am unshaked.

It is true, the reason behind it is because they are still hoping for more winnings.
As long as we won, we still feel that we are lucky and more winnings will come until we can't stop ourselves from playing.

I guess both are not and depends on gamblers mind , how much control he has when he is losing or winning for me its easier when i am winning  i have fear that i will lose what i won and stop , but when i lose i do couple of bets more

[jossiel]

Kinda tricky question but you are right that it depends on the gambler. If the amount that he's losing is already too much, it's best to stop. But we also have that mentality that as long as we're not winning, we won't stop.

Some mentality is to stop when we've won enough, I guess the verdict depends on your mood.

[Natalim]

I have balls in gambling so I would not stop easily when I am losing, otherwise I can't sleep not getting my revenge even if I still have money to gamble.
When I am winning also, I like to seize the moment as gamblers like us does not have a lot of winning opportunity, "its now or never"...

for me it is easier to stop when we are winning,because there are some reason can be consider,sometimes we celebrate with friends going in bars leaving the table,or either my family to treat for lunch or dinner.
o usually do this because from past i am irresponsible gambler that i can even play longer even when i'm winning until ended up losing all the money,so now i learned my lesson and when there are enough Money in my Hands?i stand in table and may return next time again.

[angrybirdy]

It would be easier to stop gambling when you are winning. Commonly, if you lose, you tend to play more to get your money back. And that will lead you to play more and you won't stop until you are satisfied or win. If you win, you will consider that you should stop so you can prevent from losing in the end.

[skarais]

Stop when we realize that too much money has been spent on gambling and I think it will make us consistent to stop. Quitting after winning will not guarantee that we will not return to gambling, because I think the opportunity to return to gambling after winning is greater than stopping after we realize.

I am not a gambling addict, because I only gamble when there are big matches played by European clubs in EPL, La Liga and UCL, so I dont really think about when we should stop gambling because so far gambling is only to make the atmosphere better when watching competition.

[panjul07]

It is subjective question, every gambler has their own opinion based on their own experience but mostly it is hard to stop no matter we are winning or losing but for me it is easier to stop when I'm losing because I will stop when I lose all my budget.
When I'm winning, most of the time I will continue playing but I wont use all my winning. At least I will withdraw some of my winning first before continue playing.
