how many times have you intended to stop gambling

[Mr.suevie]

Gambling has become an everyday thing for some people and this act has lead to serious addiction which is not good. When gambling we should understand that we are just playing for fun. Most people i know around always take gambling as a very serious issue and i have this particular friend that always complains to me how he has stopped gambling but from no where you still see him gambling again. Me myself am a sesonal gambler and i only gamble on the sport i know which is soccer, i think exploration of new gambling games you are familiar with also causes this repeated feeling of always quitting gambling. I just want to know if this phrase is common among everyone or its just he catch phrase whenever you experiences a big loss.

I haven't tried to stop but because it's not a problem for me. I play little, with low amounts, being aware that the odds are against me, and always with money I can afford to lose. I take it as an entertainment expense, with the difference that from time to time I come out with more money than I put in.

So, I don't have to set out to stop, and in fact, there are seasons when I don't gamble, simply because I don't feel like it or because I'm busy and don't even think about it.

I believe it was only once or twice, back when I started out (which was in highschool). As a kid back then I was into gambling due to the influence of my friends, nothing big, I only played with my friends anw but with money involved but I did realize back then it may lead to something worse if I kept on going on. My girlfriend then also pushed me to stop since she didn't really like me gambling with money, so I stopped that is until at least my 2nd/3rd year of college. Slowly got back to it and here we are now, still gambling but in a balanced way (imo anyway).

It's pretty common for those gamblers who lose a lot. I am sure that most of us hear this coming from a gambler who has intense emotions due to losses and is complaining to the casino that it is not fair, but after the emotions calm down, you see him again depositing money, and after winning some games, he wouldn't be saying anything. Though mostly the reason for this is that they are just addicted or they just can't quit due to their need to earn money.

Many people see gambling as a very serious business because it is their full-time job maybe because of unemployment or greed. They put more than what they can afford to lose. The truth is losing in gambling is very painful but you don't need to invest more than you can bear.
Like every other form of perceived unethical behavior gambling is addictive. But it is not all gambling addicts that are bad losers. Some people play gambling often, when they lose or gain you might never notice. Betting only on the sports you know doesn't free you from gambling addiction. You can bet only on one sport and still be a strong gambling addict, just ensuree you identify when you are going off-limits. I have never tried stopping gambling because I might have been addicted to other things, but I have never been a gambling addict.

[Oshosondy]

When I wanted to stop to gamble, I stopped, because I lost so much and I have to stop around that time and I stopped gambling for one good year. Before I thought of stopping, I have never thought of stopping gambling before. Some gamblers might tell some people that they have stopped, but not from their mind, maybe that is what happened to your friend, not being truthful with you when it comes to gambling. You may see him losing and advising him to stop, and him telling you he has stopped, but not.

[Strongkored]

It will always depend on the determination of each person to be able to stop gambling even if only for a while because that means if he is able to stop he is able to control himself when to play and when to stop, and so far I am still able to do it, and if you find it difficult to stop gambling it could be that he doesn't have any activities that can be used to spend his time, so for those of you who find it difficult to stop try doing other activities so that your mind can be distracted and not just focused on gambling.

[traderethereum]

It depends on how he wants to stop because it will not be easy to really stop gambling and leave it.
Especially if he were someone who had gambled for a long time and gambled almost daily, he would feel that hardship.
Maybe he can tell his family or friends and ask for their help to really leave gambling for good.
The temptation to gamble is indeed great, but we as users who often play gambling, should be able to resist the temptation so that it doesn't become big.
I always try to limit myself instead of stopping gambling because I really feel that it is not the time to stop gambling yet.

[rozak]

I only think I have stopped once in my life after getting to know to gamble. yes, it's because I'm completely out of money. but after I realized it, it was really hard. so I every week set aside a small portion of my money to bet.
I feel it's not an addiction that I do. but I don't know what other people think. what is clear is that I am now depositing money with a fixed allocation every week for me to play.
I just hope to be consistent with what I do. and not get my finances involved in the gambling that I do.

Some people can't stop and some can just forget about it and go on to doing something else. If a person had already gone addicted to gambling before and then overcome it when he was still a teen, I think it's easier for him to stop. For someone who had just become addicted to gambling and then wanted to stop, it may require willingness.

I do gamble with dice and blackjack from time to time but when I lose the amount I allocated for that time, I also quit and let go of the loss.

[Accardo]

I've not had the intention to stop gambling because it helps my brain power to grow. It helps my thinking and as I keep playing my gambling experience increases. But, I always intend to moderate how I play games not to get addicted. Gambling is always fun and I don't intend to make a living through gambling, so it's not something I'm doing too often to an extent of advising myself to stop playing again. Hence, your point has to do with self control, and people with such attitudes gets frustrated from the same game that makes others get happy. I think it's a personal experience and people differs, similarly, we see gambling differently. A player can decide to play black jack and slot games randomly and studying how it works at same time. In the process, they won't get fed up from playing, even while losing funds, because they want to know how the machine works.

Be it a teen or an adult, to quit gambling after they have been addicted requires willingness. The problem that most addicted gamblers face is that they are not welling to stop, once they think that this is not helping them and can destroy their life as they are addicted and willing to stop, they will stop.

You let go of the loss, but you did not quit gambling, you only stop gambling for awhile for a bad mind not to build up within you at the time which can make you to lose significant sum of money in gambling.

A lot of times I have been losing really bad.That is the only time when almost everyone of us swear to himself that they won't touch gambling ever again.However the problem is that time heals everything and with the passing of time our rage feeling and sadness that makes us promise ourselves that we will stop gambling fades away and we are heavily gambling again as soon as things have cooled down.Yesterday I have been playing really hard slot machines and I have lost a lot of money and thought I will never touch gambling again yet here I am today placing sport bets on Manchester United.

[ethereumhunter]

I haven't wanted to give up gambling completely and I still gamble occasionally. But I don't have a gambling addiction, be it mild or severe because I almost had it in the past and didn't want to experience it. If your friend could learn to control himself while gambling, I don't think he would have a gambling addiction and would be able to stop gambling whenever he wanted. You as his friend can teach him how to control himself so he can follow you and at the same time, cure his gambling addiction. But it takes time to recover and you can stay by his side to help him recover.

[asriloni]

I never try to intend to stop it as i used gambling for entertaining purposes only.  I used my free money and yeah i feel nothing lose by doing some gambling. The fact that if it's very funny to fight with code. It's about how luck you are when you were dealing in casino or something else.
Sport gambling shall be got an exception caused by this is far easy rather than doing casino or something else. People who have been addicted to it shall try to decrease their addiction. They shall change their vision to think gambling for entertaining purpose only rather than a way to change their lives.
Mostly of people who addicted with it sees gambling as a way to become a rich person instantly.

Well i would say this is actually kind of my cash phrase then when i was still a chronic gambler and the bitter part of it is that it was at my early stage of life. When i first experience gambling, the act grew on me and i actually sort of had an addiction to it, l lost alot of money and when i tried to recover my losses it further made me loose more. I would say it was just by the grace of God that i have eventually slowed down on my gambling ways,  i normally just see gambling as a extra activity now so whenever am free and have some cash to squander thats when i do my gambling. I think its better this way less stress on me and little losses and no hard feelings after lost.

[Bitinity]

2 years ago I wanted to stop gambling but I realized that it is hard to completely stop so I decided to reduce my gambling activity step by step. Starting from reducing my funds and time, and the result is that now I do not gamble as much as I did years back. Most casinos also provide self exclusion feature that may help us to stop gambling, but I did not use it because I believe it will be useless feature if we do not start it from our own will.

Some gamblers who are addicted in gambling has a bad habit of going back over and over again despite their claims that they will not gamble anymore. This is because of lack of professional intervention and medical help to get them over their addiction. No necessary treatment and rehabilitation was done in most cases, hence, they end up having a relapse whenever they want to cut gambling off their lives.

Some gambler addicts can surpass this challenge all by themselves and with the help of those people around them, but in most instances, they don't fully recover and overcome it because once they decide to flush it from their system, sooner or later, they'll feel the need for it and thus crave for it even more. With this, the outcome is them going back to their old habits and repeating the cycle.

The number of times that a gambler tries to stop gambling shows the degree to which the individual is addicted. This may be categorized as mild addiction, moderate addiction, or severe addiction. A gambler who is moderately addicted to gambling would have no difficulty abstaining from the casino. On a personal note, since I go into gambling with two aims—have fun and do not exceed your budget—I have had no need to try to stop gambling. In other words, I gamble responsibly.

I have never decided to stop gambling, but I have decided not to open my slots account until unlimited time. Of course this is a difficult decision, almost like I will stop completely, (its been more than 2 months, never playing slots), I'm afraid I expect too much to win but end up losing. We all know that when you lose, it's very easy to getting lose a lot of money coz of emotion, so I paused to playing until I could play with better control and financial conditions.
