Quit gambling today and lesson i learnt (lost 2000 usd today)

[irsykes]

Actually, there are gambling and betting options for all people from all social and economic backgrounds. For example, my country goes for a economical crisis, and yet you can see people who gamble, they do not gamble much money but they still do.

Because of economic crises, the amount of money people in that country will use to gamble will reduce because of inflation, that is right. But economic crisis do not stop people not to gamble like how they are gambling before, it does not mean that someone can not become addicted, it does not mean some people will not use big amount of money to gamble, just that people can not gamble with what they do not have at all.

The economic crisis doesn't stop people from continuing to gamble because they still hope to win from gambling. They have to change their mindset by not thinking about gambling when they need money to survive. And even though the economic crisis is over, they will not gamble but choose to save their money for their future. But if they are already addicted to gambling, it won't stop them because they are too deep into gambling. There may be no way to stop them because if their money runs out, they will still try to have money, even if it is by borrowing other people's money.

it is difficult to stop gambling addicts, if they run out of money they will find ways to be able to play. by becoming a thief or other crime that will become more dangerous. only by going to jail is it possible to be able to heal mental and negative thoughts. This incident of losing everything will think of self-introspection

Gambling is very simple because we only need to prepare money and play immediately.
But gambling also requires control because they and we should have seen the many bad experiences we have had.
Gambling is not a way to make a quick buck so they have to think twice about trying it because it won't always work.

Gambling is simple for those that have control and that do not spend much but only spend little on it, but for those that can not control the amount and time they spend on gambling, it is not easy for such people.

it is difficult to stop gambling addicts, if they run out of money they will find ways to be able to play. by becoming a thief or other crime that will become more dangerous. only by going to jail is it possible to be able to heal mental and negative thoughts. This incident of losing everything will think of self-introspection

If someone is addicted to gambling, it is difficult to stop just because the person do not have the mind to stop, but the day the person will have the mind to stop will be the beginning of the possibility that he may stop gambling addiction, but this do occur after they have lost so big and almost all they have if not all they have, but in the process, some people will turn to become thieves.

Difficult but not impossible. I think not all gambling addicts are like that, where they will do crimes but some of them will just do nothing and wait till they have a money again to gamble. For those who did a crime then they deserve to be punished or put in the jail.

I bet they will realize their mistakes there and then won't play gambling anymore once they came out of prison. Being jailed however isn't the only way to cure a gambling addiction. There are other ways like they will be restricted to go out of their homes. They won't be handed out by a cash, credit card, and other payment modes. They will be restricted to use a pc or a phone, or we can just cut off the internet if they are an online gambler.

To me if OP quitted indeed then I think he just accept defeat and in this case, he has lost the most, gambling should be a thing of passion, you shouldn't gamble if you don't have money, don't borrow money to gamble because gambling also entails taking risk, maybe he had thought about winning at all cost when he's overconfident in the game he's placing bet on, I think he has failed to have concluded on quitting due to his intentions being abolished, but he should also blame himself for being responsible for the consequences of his wrong actions after gambling with the amount he can't afford to loose.

OP is just making nonsense in this thread by saying stop gambling because of his loss, in fact he is an addict and often flaunts his wins even it is far greater than his losses, OP has left the forum and has never been active to speak here

Not surprising and there are lots of similar situations where people just simply make out some post and then leave or without turning back and this isnt something new.If we do speak up generally for most situations

where people do only learnt up lessons on the time that they do lost up huge amounts of money in gambling.Its a very common scenario or situation but this could really be avoided if you had just
play on the amount which you can really afford to lose and not going into a certain extent on which you do really spend up tons and trying out to break even or simply
chasing up some losses.

When I see peeps talking about quitting gambling, I'll be like; didn't they believed what they were told before betting? Or does it happen that some peeps are never told the demerit of gambling?
You've publicly declared that you're quitting gambling and we've read that but, we aren't in your house to fully believe that, WHY? There's one thing about addiction; it's easy to start, build and grow 'em, but it ALMOST impossible to evade it. You've lost a thousand dolls and you quit? How bout loosing a million dolls ? You'll pass out? Or maybe feel very frustrated.... I just hope you quit for real.

Let him go because it's his own fault why gamble if you don't want to lose money, indeed this has become common because irresponsible gamblers will blame the casino or even the defeat for losing money even though he himself is in control of the money being played.

It's true what @348Judah said that gambling must be exciting for fun and ready to be able to lose the money deposited but maybe the OP stopped because he didn't want to lose money so he thought like that, this is a little exaggerated because he doesn't understand how gambling really.

Well I guess the positive thing is that you learned a valuable lesson. Sure it sucks to have lost that much money, but the biggest thing when you get kicked an knocked down, is to be able to get back up and keep fighting. 

I appreciate your post as I think this could be a good example for people to follow and hopefully provide some information that will benefit them going forward.

Sandra, you have written and expressed some wise words for OP (who did not quit after opening this thread, by the way). I believe it is very kind of you, but I would like to let you know that unfortunately OP will never read what you have send him, since he has been banned because his bad behavior here on our forum and personally attacking some of our reputable members. I assume you did not notice.  

Still, I hope that anyone feeling as OP allegedly felt get to read your post, Have a good day!

[Strongkored]

Your post answered my curiosity why Op is no longer present in this forum with all the threads that tell about his wins or losses or also the decision to stop gambling but not long after that he reappeared with a winning story.Quitting gambling completely is not easy, especially if access to gambling is very easy and live in an area where gambling is legal, then everything will add to the difficulty of actually Quitting gambling.
