Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk.

[n00ber]

I cannot quit gambling even though I knew and could not profit from this game. And especially, I am not addicted to gambling. I always control my emotions so as not to lose much money.
I love the thrill of this game. It's fun to play them. Whenever I have money saved, I set aside a little to try my luck. When I don't have money, I won't care about gambling. It could be a psychological adventure game for me.

Then you are okey.
If what you say is a clear representation of your state and your money management, then there is nothing you should change, if you like it as an entertainment source.
Do you keep a set balance when you get money (in terms of percentage of your income) so you can gamble regularly?

I am also curious if you keep track of your wina and losses through the year. Because I believe it is a malpractice which can only lead to loss chasing in the long term, and probably to addiction to gambling.

Yes, because I have a family and children, my top priority is still family life. I will not have a fixed balance to gamble regularly. And I also don't keep track of my wins and losses during the year. I don't care if I make a profit or a loss. Because even if I lose, the amount has been predetermined, I can still accept that loss. I know I have bad behavior, but I still have reasonable control over my behavior.

I can relate when you say you have a bad behavior or reaction when you experiment losses. I have myself felt bad for a couple of days after I had a bad luck streak rolling dices, in my case I get depressed and do not feel like doing anything.

I assume in your case you get mad instead of sad?
Because in my personal opinion, anger can be more difficult to control than sadness or melancholy. Either way, I hope you do not start to keep track on your wins and losses, because that is a very short path towards trying to chase money and we both know what happens when the chasing starts, it usually does not end well at all.

Good luck and take care of you and your family.

We need to always test our willingness to leave an activity behind, sometimes I just stop gambling for a month not because I do not want to gamble a little bit, but just to prove myself that I can remain that long without gambling, so far I have been able to do this, however if for some reason I found myself thinking constantly about gambling or being unable to avoid gambling for that long then I will know I have a problem, and then I can take the necessary measures to avoid the worst possible outcome which is to become addicted to gambling.

Actually, after all. We are addicted to gambling because we always enjoy playing it. But from a particular perspective, we can control our behavior. We can stop gambling for a long time. But we still want to gamble later, and no game can replace it.
It can be said that this is a mild addiction. For example, I like drinking wine but haven't consumed it in the past few months, and I still feel normal. Controlling this action may be due to surrounding causes. Perhaps the main reason is that our families help us maintain this controlling behavior.

[Fredomago]

Yes, that's right, because they think it's just one game and stop gambling for a while. But they lost, which sparked their curiosity, so they decided to play one more time. This happens repeatedly until they finally stop gambling and use up all their money. If that's the case, only defeat will come, and they can only regret it because they have used all the money they could have used for other things.

There are many reasons why they lose a lot of money, and the most common is because greed comes to them, and they keep saying that just playing one more time will be okay and maybe they can win big this time. And that's when their lust gets bigger, and they can no longer control themselves, so they continue gambling. But reality only sometimes happens the way they want because most people lose.

Exactly, that one last shot or most of the time those who Yolo loses a lot of money, a single mistake creates a huge impact to the gambler and will re-try to recover that money, instead of quitting and enjoying they will be force to keep trying as they wanted to recover the money that they lost while playing.

I'm sure there are many gamblers who can relate to your statement, as instead of having that good control, they missed it out, and they are pushed to keep betting and using a much bigger amount trying to recover their previous losses.

This is an example of good attitude for all gamblers to follow where they never care about winning or losing but also don't chase it because whatever they force themselves to get will also give less than optimal results.
But from what you have applied there is one point that gamblers may rarely be able to do namely accepting defeat because here they lose certain amount of money and there is feeling of dissatisfaction with the results they did not win until in the end they try to continue to chase victory and after that all the money had ran out quickly.
Here, I sure there are also many gamblers who are married therefore many users give each other suggestions and suggestions for all of us to remain more responsible gamblers.
Even though it is very difficult to stop gambling at least we ourselves must be able to control it, don't let gambling control us.

We are held responsible for whatever outcome we face in the system, we ought to be sincere when dealing with the system, always recording inspecting categories of gambling and thoroughly emphasize on the disciplinary measured to follow inother to quit gambling for the very good. We know how the space works and ought to cut off everything linking to gambling, both real and on phones because it's more like temptations tendered to us that's difficult to resists. Quitting is mere just words concerning the system, the real deal is quitting and total exemption from gambling related activities.

[len01]

People who have won still want bigger wins, and that is normal. But they should be able to realize that they are gambling and don't need to play seriously because that will only make them experience more losses if they realize that when they can win, it is time for them to decide to stop gambling. But not for them because they are too greedy to want to get a bigger win.

That's where self-control is needed to control the desires and greed that come. If they could realize this, they would not continue gambling and withdraw their winnings or if they lost, they would just stop gambling and calm themselves down. They need to break the cycle before things get worse, and they can't cash out their winnings.

everything related to money will automatically indoctrinate our minds to become greedy even though we have won a big win. If we get it, we will feel that it is still not enough and bet again, and when we lose, we dont accept the loss and continue chasing without realizing that we have lost all the funds he has and his winnings will also be used up after an incident like that a person will regret and be angry about gambling and as if he wants revenge he comes every day wanting to get the same results while he ignores the luck that does not come every day and ends up becoming addicted because he is chasing the big win he has lost.

It will be difficult for them to get back the money they have lost because it depends on their luck and analytical skills. But most people will return to gambling no matter how difficult it is because they feel they can still gamble and get back the money they lost. And they will say that they enjoyed getting their lost money.

Yes, it is normal for them to return to gambling, but it should be accompanied by an understanding of how far they can go so that they do not lose more money. It will be better for them if they have good control because they will know when they should stop gambling before things get worse.

It will enter our subconscious so that we can become greedy and want to achieve big wins by taking bigger risks. Yes, even though they have won, it is not enough for them, and this is where self-control is important so that they can understand that they have had enough of gambling. And that makes us not chase after victory, especially if we already get it because that is enough for us to feel satisfied with what we have. So if we have good self-control, we can stop gambling without difficulty so that we will not have any burden.

But most of the time being please and enjoy push or lead us to go deeper and we just find ourselves deeply involve and unable to resist the lust to keep playing over and over, I see your view and that's right we need to have that discipline and maintain that control but in the real world it's just a good words from our mouth but in terms of placing it into actions that's something that too difficult to practice.

Gambling is a way of enjoyment and killing some time, but with the desire and greed inside, that can turn to something that can create big problems in the long process.

Yes, because I have a family and children, my top priority is still family life. I will not have a fixed balance to gamble regularly.

I know I have bad behavior, but I still have reasonable control over my behavior.

You are good enough to have complete control over your behavior because that is the most important thing a gambler needs. Because there are many cases where gamblers become aggressive when they lose, especially gamblers who have families, sometimes they take their anger out on their children or wives which makes their families miserable.

Because its easy to get to right away and is digital, players often give it "just one more try." What people really want is to be accepted, but this is something that is often missed. This need to be accepted and the desire to win are two dangerous things that can happen together.

Its good that people in the community are actively encouraging safe gambling. If your money and relationships are on the line, especially if you're married and gamble, the stakes arent just numbers on a computer. Control is everything; who's in charge is always important. The rough waters of gaming can easily sink your ship if you're not in charge of it. Keep in mind that you shouldnt have to gamble. You should choose to do it.

This is so true. This often happens in most household and commonly, the children are the affected ones because of bad behavior being displayed by their so-called role model in life. I've heard and read a lot of stories about children growing up to be miserable and depressed because of verbal and physical abuse at home because their parent/s is a gambling addict. Gambling addiction really impacts the relationship within the family and affects the upbringing of the children. It's important to be disciplined and control the anger issues brought upon by gambling. This way, no children will be traumatized and no wives will be battered due to financial issues and temperament problem brought by the aforementioned.

That's great, that's how it should be. Gambling is fun especially if you know how to play it. What I mean is for those people who know how to control themselves you will really enjoy it. You won't get addicted or lose your way if you can control your emotions when it comes to gambling.

Even if he is doing great (I hope he continues that way). It is not rare for anyone of us to lose control of our gambling session. Has not ever happened to you? You are having a good luck streak while gambling and playing your favorite game but greed takes over you, so you do not think about withdrawing your wins and move on. So you keep rolling dices or spinning the slots wanting to keep getting more and more money, before you realize you have lost your earning and part of your starting balance.

It is easier to lose control when one is having green numbers, than when one is in the red. I do not know why, but also happens in trading, it is easier to accept the loss and sell the bags that selling for profit, because of the fear of missing out even more profits...

The best possible measure for tackling this issue of gambling addiction is through rotal withdrawal from gambling and at that we have to be able to disconnect ourselves from every gambling-related material and also at the same time try as much as possible to build the discipline needed to stay ahead of possible slid back into that position again by making sure that we do not only delete every possible contact from gambling but also place a no go to any place that may trigger our desire to gamble again.


But the best thing to do is to make sure that you hard never get addicted, you should avoid anything that can get you into that addiction state at first because os easier to battle against addictions than to fight to withdraw from addictions.

Inasmuch as I know, the reason why most of us derives joy in gambling is because of the fact that we see it as a way of making fast money if one eventually wins and again we stake with little amount and expect to win big.

Gambling most times is difficult to quit not because people can't quit but because we still hope we gonna win someday.

In life, almost everything we do involves risk and possibilities of making loses in businesses are there also so it's just dependent on our mentality towards how we can play safe knowing too well that the possibility of winning is on a 50/50 Chance.

Yes, even though they have won, it is not enough for them, and this is where self-control is important so that they can understand that they have had enough of gambling. And that makes us not chase after victory, especially if we already get it because that is enough for us to feel satisfied with what we have. So if we have good self-control, we can stop gambling without difficulty so that we will not have any burden.

self control is really needed, but if it is not strengthened by high commitment, self control will only be a passing wind. I mean, if someone has high self control but does not have a strong commitment, one day they will definitely be tempted by all the risks involved in gambling, such as emotions and greed, which will destroy that self control, but if someone has a strong commitment, they will never be able to defeated by emotion or greed.
because commitment is something that is difficult to maintain and if someone has high commitment he always avoids big risks or even stops his gambling habit.

Until people understands that in every 1% chance they have to win a game, they also have 99% chance to lose that same game, and as such, gambling is not a game that should be treated like a do or die affairs, but a game to be played for the fun of it, and if you are lucky enough to win, enjoy your winning with no stress, because it's true that as humans, we have got an insatiable needs and wants, which means that by nature, our needs can never be satisfied, but with discipline and self-control, we stand the chance to gamble with no stress, since with self control, it helps us to overcome our emotions and gamble responsibly, after knowing fully that it takes luck to win a game while gambling.

If it actually takes just 1 percent chance to win in gambling, and 99 percent to lose, trust me, no one will be gambling except those who really have a lot of money to throw away in the name of just having fun. The better calculation to have used is 50:50 chance, that is, 50 percent chance of winning, and 50 percent chance of losing, at least, this levels the playing ground both for the gamblers and the casino as when one loses, he or she doesn't feel cheated by the other since both have both percentage of chances of losing and winning.

And yeah, self-control is of utmost importance when talking or discussing how to gamble responsibly, there are a lot of temptations in gambling which can lead to "unprepared for" loses, and only those who can effectively control themselves are the once who can overcome such temptations, without self-control, we all as gambler will probably be gambling addicts.

I believe every addiction is hard to quit whether it is for gambling or any other kind of addiction. People of different addiction struggles and fight to quit their addiction and never return to it.

Actually, addiction is a mental problem that is not really easy to overcome at once. It’s just as if you want to change your behaviour from the negative to the positive, which cannot be done in a day because once you're addicted to something, there’s nothing you’ll do that you will not remind yourself of it and practice it. That is why some people are addicted to drugs, gambling, and other things.

A drug addict who wants to quit will go to a rehab center for support because it is hard to do it alone,

Normally, people who have already become addicted to drugs are prompted to develop a mental disorder within a short period of time when they continue consuming drugs, and I believe that is one of the reasons why they always refer them to rehabilitation centres for therapy, whether cognitive therapy or psychotherapy. It's a gradual process that a counsellor will be doing repeatedly, not even in a month, because when someone is seriously addicted to drugs, they find it very difficult to end it, and that is why it's a gradual process before they stop it.
