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

[pixie85]

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.

Usually it's easier to stop when you're losing because you have some money on your account or in your pocket and if that runs out you will stop whether you like it or not.

When you're winning and have more and more money on your account you'll keep betting until you get a losing streak and run out of money which will stop you from betting more. In the end math wins

Me personally I found it hard to stop betting whenever I'm winning or up by a decent amount before I don't know too why I am like that way back then tho nothing really bad happened like getting drained due to continuous betting. But now I can easily do both. I set a limit for my profit and loss and it helps me a lot to have discipline when gambling.

[Question123]

The other players once they lost money they did not control their self playing more because they have goal and that is to turn their losses.
Others too who are greedy once they win a money they want more so they still playing and not stop until they lose money.

I have that two attitude before but after I realize this is not good to me because I only suffer to what I'm doing I change it and I know now my limitations and how to be contented of what I get  or what I win.

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?

Stopping when winning is much easier than stopping when you are losing, you have this attitude and thinking that your next roll could be your turn to win, it's actually a false hope, but it happens to me several times i end up adding more funds and hoping luck will be on my side on the next roll.

I think it is easier to quit when I am losing After losing,
Unlike most of the gambler after I lose money from gambling I don't feel eager to go back as soon as possible,
It would take some time before I could go back to gambling because of the thought of losing more money.

I have never looked into that aspect, although I generally stop after winning upto a certain amount. Sometimes I also do it when I am loosing continuously. I think it depends on the situation. You cannot guarantee how much you can win niether how much will you lose. I have set a target for both the situation and I bet according to that.

Self-discipline is a kind of "must have" for every gambler.  For me it's extremely hard to stop, when you are losing. I continue gambling and focus on recovering my losses until I spend all money.

The self-discipline are need of the player we know that not all the player don't have that attitude because they already greedy or addicting playing.

It is really hard for them to stop because they routine is always play gambling .If you have self-discipline you can do what ever you want to do in gamabling like what mentioned already if you are winning you can stop and you also lost you can stop too depends to your commitment.

[ralle14]

For me it's also stopping when you're winning I find it easy to stop because I don't make several bets on sports  but sometimes I get carried away in the moment and continue making 2 to 3 more bets that would put me back to even. Losing is much harder for me because it feels like a snowball effect and  it's slightly hard to not take the chance when you've done several recoveries after being down by at least half of your starting bankroll. This is just my mindset when i'm losing my bankroll and not losing overall.

Every gamblers have his or her own strategy in every game, Winning is always tempting for more gambling if you're addicted to gamble. And whenever you are loosing, some always have the thought of recovering from their loss. So at this point some will find it difficult to quit when losing or winning. I think it would be good to set up your plans and apply wisdom in every decision making.
I suggest any time you win, take out your capital and use your profits for further games.

[Wexnident]

Not about winning, nor losing. It will be easier to stop when you experience bad things in gambling. For example: you become addicted to gambling, while you are trapped in debt.

There are actually rare cases (not sure) that a gambler actually has a harder time stopping when he's in a pretty bad spot with regards to other matters in his life, whether it be a problem concerning money or not. In those cases, those people could rightfully be called addicts, and would usually stop at nothing to earn money to gamble. They'd probably mortgage their own organs or even life if they could, all so that they could gamble it out.

Imo though, its a lot easier to stop if you know what you're doing. In a sense, after winning a few times or losing a few times, you'd come to consider that you're gambling no? You'd come to realize that, okay I'm losing too much got to stop or okay I'm pretty lucky today, but I shouldn't really push it. Its the mindset that counts, not the situation I suppose.

It is difficult to recovering your losses because you will need to spend more money, which you cannot expect to win in the next round. In gambling itself, you will need the luck to recover your losses and win some money, and you need to realize that luck will not always come to you even if you add more money to place the bets. So yes, self-discipline is a must have for every gambler, and I think if we have that thing, we can stop gambling anytime, and we will not feel difficult to stop gambling.

The Op post probably suggest he is betting for the prize and not to enjoy or have fun with gambling. I think you should be able to quite If your money/time spent on betting is too much, and you were/are not really attracted by the fun or pleasure & use it to suppress a problem in your life.
In my opinion, spending too much time/money on betting without minding your loses could be considered an addiction.

One of the ways where people who just can’t resist gambling and not able to quit too should consider keeping aside a certain money be very month for gambling . Now you have to manage for whole month in that money only . If you win you decide what needs to be done or if you loose entire quickly then you do not gamble till rest of the month . This will be starting point for you also to take control of your decisions regarding gambling .

I disagree with this. Losing their balance on a gambling site don't stop people from gambling more and more. They simply deposit another amount, which is usually bigger than the previous one, because they want to recover their losses. And if they don't have money of their own, they borrow it. It is called "chasing losses", and it's a real hell, if you ask me.

On the other hand, for those gamblers who only play with money they can afford to lose, indeed losing their balance means stop for the day. And although it's the majority of gamblers, I don't think we are talking about them in this topic, because for them it's not hard to stop at any time, regardless of whether they are losing or winning.

Do we have the same attitude or not?

I think we have the same attitude on the winning part but we are opposite on the losing part.  Whenever I play gambling games, I always have this plan sort out.  Set a maximum amount to lose and set a minimum amount to win before quitting the session. 

Honestly, it is quite easy, just try it and stick to the plan.  You will find it amazing how easily we can control our gambling activities.

You can stick to the plan as long as you wish, but when you get a fever it's will be a trouble to stop. On other side when you lose the money you can't gamble even if you want to. Quitting while you have advantage is always a good thing, but it's not always possible due our human nature, our greediness. When we lose everything we have no options than to quit, from that side I would say it's easier to quit when you lose, just because lack of options.

Either win or lose I think I don't have a problem but I do agree that it is easier to quit when you are losing. The thing about is that if you are aware that you are losing continuously, you better start or take a safe decision rather than recklessly betting all of the money you had. Those streaks of losses will tell how unlucky you are that day, you should be aware of that as always.

[Sebas.tian]

Hmm, I can't stop when am loosing and can't stop when am winning: what determine my stop is my limit set. As a.long-term gambler I am, I gamble based on my set limit and not winning  nor lose determine when am to stop gambling. For those who believe in stop while winning in gambling will definitely get it wrong. Neither be at lose will stop while gambling, the only thing that should determine when we should stop; should be limit. With this, addiction will never come into a gambler or close the said person.

I find it much easier to stop then when I am winning a game, I am the kind of gambler that wants to enjoy my winnings by having a drinks or celebration, although I also have control when I am losing but stopping when winning is the hardest thing for me.
