how many times have you intended to stop gambling

[$crypto$]

Stop gambling if you have mental problems or depression but for me this is still quite manageable and I have never used big money but the extra money that I get in crypto is not always on the gambling board continuously, I only often when betting sports which are favorites and some of the slots that are played when there is boredom just playing some games.
We should never think that gambling can make money, let alone get rich, that is a wrong reality, enough with entertainment that you play gambling must be fun.

Generally when a gambler can make a lot of money, of course he will feel very addicted and always want to bet. But subconsciously the defeat he experienced was far greater than the gain he had before. It is done almost every day then the addiction will start to appear and it will be very hard to get rid of. I am also a gambler but I can always control what I bet and not keep fixating on the results because if I think about it continuously it will make my life even more ruined. Therefore the importance of self-control over our will is the main point for a gambler if he wants to stop gambling.

Not intended but actually stopped for a while I have a two-week break after I lose, but after I forgot what I lose, I get back and recover some of my losses, stopping for a few days is good, and part of your mindset of controlling how you gamble, only compulsive gamblers continue to gamble until there's nothing left for them, that is why some casino have an exclusion period feature because they know that gamblers need to take a break from time to time.

I didn't have plans to stop gambling but I can pause and rest from it whenever I want. I could stop for a while whenever I have big losses but I have no intentions of quitting since it's one of the best things that entertain me whenever I feel stressed. Gambling serves as my source of fun and entertainment but if I could feel that I'm already playing beyond my limits, I stop and control my urge to gamble. If we can control ourselves from too much gambling, quitting or stopping anytime will never be that hard.

I have tried many times to stop gambling, but apparently, I still can't do it because the temptation to continue gambling always comes, especially when I have money. I can deposit money weekly to my gambling account and play the slot games I like. But even so, it didn't make me play too long and cause me to suffer big losses because I realized the longer I played, my losses could be bigger than I could imagine. But I'm not complaining because I haven't been able to stop gambling and try to enjoy it. After all, I think this is a process before I can really stop gambling one day.

Those who had huge losses always intend to stop gambling. That is natural for humans; an anger; a reaction to something negative. If burned, people dont touch hot pan twice. Every person who has lost the game he though he will win, will always think of stop gambling.

When we speak about gambling, we automatically think about addiction. That is why a person can only pause his gambling habbits, be he is not able to stop it completely. Those who say they can - they lie, they just cant accept the fact they are weak.

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.

For gamblers who have an addiction to it, it will be really difficult for them to stop it. Unless they force themselves not to play at the casino.

     So just like I said it won't be easy on the part of the gamblers who are addicted to the casino, especially since they are already experienced in winning large sums of money. Because their mindset is that they will win again more than they won.

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.

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.

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.

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.

But that proves I can stop any moment after all I don't think I'm addicted. Anyone can practice gambling the same way especially if they have a priority for example doing thier regular job than gambling all the time. Or having a family to take care of which is an obligation.

Once they find thier priority in life, everything else can be forgotten. Having a kid divides the attention of a person + a job to keep and mortgages and so on. A family man understands this I guess.

I honestly tried to stop gambling more than twice before especially when I have big losses and even used the funds that aren't allocated for gambling. I was so distressed at that time and didn't know where to get funds to repay thw money that I used for gambling. I stopped for a year and learned my lesson but I still got back and have been a responsible gambler. I have learned enough from that experience so I already know how to discipline myself when it comes to gambling.

[madnessteat]

I tried a couple of times to quit gambling after serious losses when I was in full despair over the lost money, but I still returned to the casino after a while. Gambling is something that accompanies us throughout life, so it's very difficult to completely outgrow gambling. In my opinion, it is better to learn to control yourself with gambling and limit your bankroll to play.

[Zilon]

I don't think i have thought to quitting gambling or if i have done so in times past it should be in the early days of gambling but i can't quit because i gamble seasonally. I know of someone who managed to stop gambling with the help of friends and loved ones but yet it wasn't easy.

But one thing i have experienced personally about gambling is no matter how much a gambler tries to stop as long as they keep surrounding themselves with what gives them the drive to gamble, chances are that the former gambler will be lured into trying out a few odd. It somehow impossible quitting gambling by self determination except someone comes to help.

[danherbias07]

Never. I just switched to sports gambling. Then, to never feel that bad loss, I don't gamble big amounts anymore. Don't chase losses that will make you double the losses if it fails. Take just half of the bet.
Discipline will play an important role when you are gambling and I've been keeping it clear that I should not go for fast games like Slots or Dice because that's where I lose a lot back in the day.
Just thinking about that huge amount of BTC (years ago) accumulated loss in one gambling site makes me regret it even now.
But, you will have to learn from it instead of quitting. Because I have seen gamblers who tried to quit and just made it worst. They are now gambling addicts.

To me gambling is an addictive behaviour or habbit that takes an individual whose personal decisions is taken as their priority to really put a stop to it, gambling as it sound has many things involved more expecially when you are favoured by the act you always see yourself going for more in the other hand when you loss you will still continue hoping that one day you will surely win, using myself as a case study I have not thought of stoping it because sincerely I want to hit high and that's the mindset of a real gambler.

[jakdanyel]

I thought I had stopped gambling before. As I said, I realized that this was just my opinion. Gambling is like an obligatory habit. You can't stop drinking water! I can summarize it exactly this way. I've thought many times about stopping gambling, I can't express it in numbers. But I don't think about it anymore, I don't have such a goal.
My advice; Keep playing and enjoying.

[goldkingcoiner]

The only times I have tried to stop gambling "forever" is when I made big losses which made me angry and out of that very anger, I swore "never to gamble again". But here I am, gambling

Unless someone has an obvious gambling addiction which is crippling his finances and his personal or work life, I do not think that promising to yourself never to gamble again is meant as a serious dedication.

So how many times have I sworn (without taking it seriously) to stop gambling? Many times.

How many times have I SERIOUSLY tried to stop? Not one time.

[n0ne]

Whenever I experience big loss I make plans to quit gambling. With much difficulty it lasts for atleast one month. Soon after that once again the wavering mind gets directed into gambling. At times long break gives good winning during comeback, but missing the comeback luck and continuing to make further wins once again leads to loss. So most of the time while making comeback I used to limit myself and enjoy the winning. Every gambler would've made such decision atleast once.

[Slow death]

in my case, I don't think about stopping because I play for fun, I just make sports bets, for example I put 10$ in my bankroll to be able to play, and I set bets for each game from 1.40 to 1.50$ and when I win until I get 20 $ of bankroll I keep playing until the bankroll grows and then I withdraw and leave 10$ and start doing the same thing of making bets with 1.40 to 1.50$ and increasing the bet amount every time I win and mine capital increase.

it is necessary to manage the bankroll well and have a good game strategy, if the person, for example, plays today with 10$ and the next day plays with 40$ while only having 50$ of bankroll, that person will lose all the bankroll because he did not have good management and of course he will say he will stop playing, but the next day he will make a deposit and lose again

Except for newbies in gambling I don't think I've made some necessary steps in stopping how i gambles since it does not affect me in a negative way, i believe what we need to control is the addiction and not the gambling since we gambling at our leisure with all convenience, no one forces other to gamble, we make use of our earned money to also gamble, so it should be what we desire and get ancious to do, stopping it means we made a wrong decision by starting at first, which i believe that gambling should not be a regrettable decision if taken since we were not forced to do so.

[minime0105]

I have not attempt to stop gambling because it helps individuals to think more most times, gambling in the recent time is a good Business for somany persons, the large population see gamble a rekindle hope because most of them use low money on it and always expect to win high, to start Gambling is easy but to take that hard decision of stoping it is manly as I call it because of the addictive nature.

[Frankolala]

I have stopped gambling twice.

Firstly,when I was in my first year in school,I do gamble on dice with my friends  in my neighborhood. It all started in a cool evening when we were gambling, I was winning big and so I was very happy and forgot to stop at that moment, before I knew it,I was losing and lost everything even with the money I borrowed. The owner of the money arrested me and I had nobody to assist me with cash to payback. So I was in the police custody up to three days before someone help me out from that crap.

Secondly,was when I used my tuition fee for gambling in my final year which affected the time I was suppose to graduate from the university. Now am a responsible gambler and would continue gambling,since I can control myself on it.
