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

[blckhawk]

Some even may say neither. When you're winning, you're driven by greed to win more and feel confident that you're lucky. On the other hand, losing just makes you feel the urge to bet more in hopesof recivering your losses.

But for me, I'd say winning is a much easier time to quit than losing. You can easily flip your emotion from greed to contentment, but it's difficult to change a revenge mindset.

It is hard to decide which is easier to stop because I also experienced the two but for me it is gard to stop when I losing. There is a psychological factor that pushes me to play more even my losses is now huge. It is the greed that forcing me to gamble my money in order to regain my losses. But I have now good risk and management where I have specific cut loss in order to lessen the risks. I can now also fully control my emotions and specially my greed.

That is right. But when you are losing, and don't have any money, perhaps you will feel comfortable to stop than if you win some money. If you don't have money, how can you play gambling again? While if you have money, you will easy to continue playing gambling, and that can make you lose all the money you win before. I think many of us will stop playing gambling if we lose money, especially if that person is not addicted to gambling games, and they will feel that their time to play gambling ends.

[Ethereums]

i believe we all stop when we all losing, since we dont have anymore to stake right?
moreover its a sign on that day or moment we already f#ck up...
but the best thing is we can shift our activity to another task / thing to do beside gambling..
just face it and let it go, find another day to get it right buddy

[Janation]

In my case, stop when I am losing.

In short, I can just stop since I don't have money to gamble with. When I decide to gamble, I just bring money that I can lose. I don't want to bring a lot of money since even though I can stop, there are those times where you get so desperate to win. When that happens, that is fine since I already avoided bring big amount of money with me.

I don't know what attitude I fall, what's important with me when gambling is that when I win with huge amount I'd probably stop for several days until such time I felt bored again. Stopping gambling can't be promised, because if you knew how to minimize it as a professional one much better to control it with determinations. The decisions is dependent on how you do it all by yourself.

You are easily satisfied in your winning if that is the case and you are not really focus on gambling, well I believe you have a good attitude towards gambling but I don't expect that you'll have a long term success in gambling as one needs to be serious if he wants to be successful in gambling.

There are people who just play for fun while there are also people who took it as a career, so you should know where you belong .

[cryptoaddictchie]

That's a hard scenario actually. But I think I might be able to control if I have my target winnings already.

There are people who just play for fun while there are also people who took it as a career, so you should know where you belong.

Took it as a career? Maybe those poker experts can be considered with this but still its a risky job if I were to ask. I'm maybe on the side where entertainment and small gains can both coexisted. Gambling is naturally addictive but OPs question is about control, winning or losing the funds should be set for a halt or continue. I am more into stopping than continuing even though Im winning. I'm a nervous kid anyway. Low to middle risk taker.

[doomistake]

For me, people makes easier decision on stopping gambling for the day if they are winning, why is that, it is because at least they are in the good mood to mesmerized the moment with their profits, unlike to those people who are not winning at all, their urge would be much stronger because they really wanted to win to feed their hunger towards the profits that they could get if they would be lucky.

Nonetheless, it is still depends on a person, it could be the other way around in both situations. I mean it depends if they have strong mentality and strong realization.

[Chrystora123]

I see that all have different views and answers..  personally I'm very difficult to stop when winning but very easy to stop when losing, and this habit I have experienced since I first gambled.  This is the reason why I prefer betting and lottery than dice because I have a hard time stopping when I win. 

[naikturun]

when I win I withdraw part or 75% of my total money, then play the rest.
and if on the same day I do not get any victory I have to stop I know it is difficult but must to do, some people will continue to play and hope to restore their defeat in the next game but it will get worse. Because there is still tomorrow, remember good luck doesn't come just today, there are still other days so just relax, dont play too hard.

It's too easy to enjoy in gambling when you have that kind of discipline, if you keep doing that you'll never regret gambling but once you break that habit even for once, for sure you'll be at risk of losing your control and once you loss your control, that's the start where you ruin your life as a gambler.

that i say you need to control yourself, its not hard but after you get used to it, it will easy to do.
for example, when im playing poker and get very strong card like AA or KK then i lose when all in, its very sick and i got mad  usually i punch my table when i lose that game.
but for know my reaction just ordinary, and think maybe im just not luck in that turn.

I'm not against you but people nowadays are lacking of contentment already .

Gamblers tend to become greedy when they are gambling and they will become more greedy when they know that they are winning. Gamblers doesn't have contentment and even not gamblers, there are some people who lacks this. People wants to have this thing and if they will have it, chances are they will ask for a better one.

Either way, changing mindset in an instant is very hard for me so stopping when winning is hard because of changing mindsets. It is easier for a gambler to stop if they are losing because they don't have money to spend with.

[agentx44]

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?

Obviously it is easier to stop when you are losing than when you are winning. As long as you are being fortunate with your game, you should just keep on going but still be mindful of the money that you have already won so that even if you'll lose later on, you will have some extra money hidden from them. In the end, you will still be winning amidst losing. If you are already losing for too many consecutive times, take a break and strategize then come back again to play and try your fortune once again and see if it is your time already.

I like Soccer, this is not about money. it is about something I love. Before, I didn't go into the sports betting section, which is why I didn't use the betting site. But I've been playing video games for years (for over 15 years) and I always liked PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) for that reason even when I lose money I don't give up on sports betting. Is very frustrating when the person has a long losing streak. When that happens to me I reduce the value of my bets and try to remember the mistakes I made to correct

That is a strategy that you need to use also when you are trading, it is very common for a trader to lose many trades in a row and the right strategy is to reduce the size of your positions to save capital and make more profits in the future when your system is making money again, and while I do not know if you have a system that allows you to be profitable when you are making sports bets it is important to reduce how much capital you are using when you have a losing streak that way you will be able to gamble for longer and obtain more fun as a result of this.

Agree, I think winning is one of the motivations to continue in gambling, in my opinion, Most of the time this winning is going to drive you to continue gambling and continue winning or trying your luck in gambling.

I think losing consecutively is the one that is going to make you stop in gambling just temporarily and then you could try again in some other times.

[livingfree]

A gambler that's for-profit will not stop even if he's losing that much.

He will continue regardless of how much he has already lost because he's looking for a profit. And once, he has managed to reach that certain amount of profit, that will be the time for him/her to stop.

It's easier for them to stop when winning.

[doctor877]

It's all about setting a Target and try to meet it . Gambling is not am everyday thing. So punters needs to know when to take a break and come back stronger. If you lose three times in a row, that's a sign to stay away for a while. This also depends on your strategy. If your profit target is met, then you can stop and continue later.

[bhabygrim]

For me it is easier to quit when I am winning because there are times that when I lose on gambling I would like to comeback and gain back what I lose.
So it is easier for me to quit when I win since there is nothing that would hold me back nothing to gain back since I already have a profit I just need to control my greed.

You are 100% right here! And this applies not only to gambling. I like to play chess with a short time control (2 minutes for the whole game). And I have very big problems in order to stop in time. Sometimes I finish playing at 2 a.m., although I only wanted to play a little before bedtime 

[kotajikikox]

For me I preferred like what OP said,it is when time that i am winning because of being afraid losing money in my hand.twice that i did this mate like when i and friend wins together in off line gambling and what?we decide both to stand from the table and that was fun lol.

Yeah, you may lose or win in gambling but it does not mean we will lose our hopes and will not play next time. In poker, many people lose some part of their money when they began to play but gradually they get trained and get poker experience which is the only important thing in gambling so I feel excited and keep gambling if I  am winning and stop to take a break for some time to get fresh.
