You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I think in gambling there is nothing to worry about other than losing money, because that is their main problem and ours as gamblers. Well for that I agree, because there is only one thing we can do which is a strong self-control factor. If we cannot exercise this self-control then it is certain that defeat will continue to accompany us unless luck is on our side. I have always said this before to anyone including my colleagues, in my opinion quitting gambling is very difficult and almost impossible. When someone already has the intention to stop then they will always face temptations that are difficult for them to pass, and also the feeling of winning always appears in their minds, I have felt this and until now I still can't if I have to stop completely, but to increase the rest time I can do it. The point is that it is actually possible if someone wants to stop completely but it takes a long time, the first thing to do in my opinion is to stay away from the gambling environment, increase activities in our daily lives by, for example, adding part-time jobs and not letting our minds remember anything about gambling, everything needs a process but believe me you can do it.

The biggest problem gamblers have to face is gambling addiction which can come at any time and losing money is normal. But with self-control, I think we can anticipate losing a lot of money because we can stop gambling before the money runs out or even before it runs out. With self-control, a person can stop gambling whenever he wants and no significant problem exists. They also must resist the temptation that keeps coming to them when they want to stop gambling because they really intend to stop it. And if they have other activities, it really helps them to stop gambling so they will remember to do other things and not just play gambling. So to stop quitting, we need self-control and a strong desire to avoid losing money.

It's actually very simple if one has a strong intention to quit, as I said before there is only one thing that can help us and that is self-control. There is no enemy in gambling except ourselves, our normal mind clearly does not want if we lose money but our lust continues to tempt with the lure of big wins there, so all the decisions are actually in ourselves. Previously I also said that a person's personality also has a big influence here, for example that person is easily provoked and easily emotional then they will not think twice to spend everything for their own satisfaction. So actually whatever advice or input from other people towards them is not entirely influential, especially for those who have an easily provoked personality.
But it will come back again, if indeed their intention is strong it could be because there is no one who prevents them in this case except their own lust.

      -    Agreed, if there is no such intention with a spring inside him to quit, this gambler will not be able to get rid of it. Just trying but no one really wants to change. That's why our number one enemy is ourselves. And when we overcome defeating ourselves, for sure it will be easy to give up gambling.

Although, there are others who still gamble but they know how to control themselves and limit gambling, in short, these are the responsible gamblers who gamble but are not addicted.

One effective way I have found out to work when you are in full addiction is to use 90% of the money you intend to deposit for gambling for other ventures,this way only 10% will remain for gambling and with the passing of time it can go near 0 or even 0.

Of course the person would want to do that and he should invest the money in other places rather than depositing on casinos and as such gradually with the passing of time one can be 100% addiction free from gambling.I have been doing this from a couple of weeks now although I am not addicted and I am loving the results,they are my crypto stash is increasing and my lose in gambling is decreasing.

[slapper]

And from that experience and feeling, we can become a better gambler, right? Sometimes we have to feel it first before we can say this. Or even have to feel the defeat that makes our balance drained to form a good mindset and self-control.
It doesn't matter about that, because it is natural and what is unnatural is when the feeling comes we continue to follow it, and it will be very bad when it comes many times but we also follow it continuously. That means we don't learn from experience.
I have my own way for this, so that when the feeling comes we can't follow it, which is by not holding the balance in the wallet or whatever it is, or also we can delete mbanking if we use it.

We can become better gamblers by learning everything necessary to keep the balance and not develop a gambling addiction. After experiencing loss many times, we should think about why it happened to us so we can start anticipating it by learning what it takes. Previous experience has taught us what needs to be improved so that we can become better gamblers than before so that we only use gambling as entertainment and nothing more. By learning that, we hope to be wiser in playing gambling and not necessarily have to spend all of our money at one time gambling. The method you did can be tried, which means we limit the amount of deposits that are not excessive so that once the money runs out, we have to get out of the casino.

Not only in gaming but in all of our activities, balance is essential. Perhaps we are speaking the same language? However, it is crucial to comprehend the mechanics and the method

It is good to draw lessons from the past. We may, er, study the murky elements of our prior efforts. In this manner, even if we trip over a branch or stumble over pebbles, we will know how to, uh, glance up at the sky? There is always space for improvement. Additionally, I think we can develop ways to gamble sensibly, which is quite important

deposit ceilings? Yes, that is a commendable method. Similar to eating cookies, you should only eat a few and not the whole jar. Or perhaps you should not pour a bucket of water all at once when you have one? Gambling follows the same rules. In any case, the key is to encourage and uphold responsible gaming practices. It's similar to caring for a plant at a casino. Sort of

Main goal.of gambling is to give a satisfaction to the people who wants to play gambling some of them treat this as an entertainment purpose only but some of them make this too much serious they made the game as source of income reason why they urge to win but it's gambling the assurance right there is quite small unlike taking a business. In that case people keep chasing their losses and hoping to hit a jackpot in some point it's true but it does not always happen the house always wins the game.

[KaizenJujustsu]

I think you're right OP.
When you know what the real root of the problem is or you recognize it, you will be able to stop
being addicted to gambling once and for all. And of course you have a family and friends, tell them so they
can help you and support you.

I know it's not easy and it's very difficult to stop gambling because they spend too much time on it
but if you have strong desire to stop it and find another hobby, you can make it. Just trust yourself, I know you can.

The mistake of a gambler is when they make gambling the main source of making money and put it as the main goal in their life. When they make gambling the main activity in their life, of course there are many things they will sacrifice and that includes family. So there's no need to be surprised that most of the addicted gamblers don't have a good relationship with their families, because they really don't put it as a priority in their lives anymore.

Your perspective on avoiding gambling is very good, by using more of your income to invest, of course this will benefit you in the future, but in dealing with this, of course, you need support from the people closest to you so that you can more easily get rid of your desire to gamble. If you can do nyan in a few weeks of course this is very easy for you, maybe I can't do something like this.

[Gozie51]

And I'm not going to talk about other people in this case, before I want to ask first, have you ever had the thought of continuing to play in order to pursue victory or restore defeat? I have, but it goes back to whether we are able to control it or not.
"Let's try again, let's try again" Lol, I've felt it but I can suppress it and return to logical thinking, so that I can prevent losing more than I lost in the past.
Oh yes, additionally, intention alone is not enough either, because it must be with action.

Let's try again is not strange to any gambler so you are not the first non will you be the last to use the word whether for positive result or negative result   So it is something that is in the lips of gamblers who are losing. Those who lose always want to try another luck and they will keep losing until they either give up and run away with what is left or losing everything. This is a sign that you are drawing yourself closer to addiction when you can't accept losses to move on. A gambler who is not satisfied with losing will definitely fall for more losses .

That is the thing that I don't want to happen to me. Until I can still manage to control my emotions and gambling desires, I would still continue gambling but in the moment I'd notice something wrong with me like chasing losses, that was the sign that I need to stop. Because the next thing that happens is to fall into addiction and lose control of our decisions as what is in our mind during that time is to win and recover from losses. This will lead to uncontrolled expenses and overspending, of course, we know where it goes.

[Hispo]

You know, reading that list of dos and donts made me realize something interesting.
Let us assume you are a casual gambler or a dedicated one, and you have infinite money to gamble (I mean money you can use to gamble but not to buy any good or service). Would be same if you know there would be no consequences from your actions while rolling dices or playing plinko?

Even if you could keep the money you managed to get from the minimal wins you get, in the end nobody wishes to quit, but the situations can devolve to a level where we must.

Let me know if you think otherwise, but from newbies and casuals to dedicated and professionals ones, noone actually wishes to quit gambling forever.
I have not yet met anyone who tried a good online or brick and mortar casino and told me it is boring and do not want to keep on.

I was already sure that there will be many gamblers who feel the same way. It is the first step of a gambler going into a black hole if they can't fight such feelings.
Of course no one wants to be trapped in a situation like this, but indeed some people have already entered into it and believe me when you have entered it will be difficult to get out, unless you can be strong to control yourself. Because if people get carried away once, then the same thing will most likely happen again at a different time.

Gambling is an entertainment but only few people treat it as that because most gambler see it as a way to escape from their lifestyle which there are not satisfied with and they can only achieved this by hitting a huge win and this huge win is very hard especially when you are a gambler with an expectation of always winning. It's very hard to win against the house even though in some cases you might be lucky but an annoying fact still stand and that's the fact that the money won will still always circle back to the house being victorious.

[Gozie51]

It's very hard to win against the house even though in some cases you might be lucky but an annoying fact still stand and that's the fact that the money won will still always circle back to the house being victorious.

This the unfortunate thing about the gamblers journey. No real gambler runs off because they have won some huge money. They end up playing like an habit to play, like a business venture etc. So the house will keep getting some percentage of the winning back until the whole winning goes back to them. So if someone want to be a profitable gambler, it is better to immediately invest some part of the win you have gotten before you continue playing.

When they started to feel that thing and they let their emotion think that gambling can be a passive income for all, it will be very bad since it is being created so that people will be entertained not to be addicted. It is their responsibility to not be addicted to it, when they play they need to be satisfy whatever the result might be and they need to understand it is not always rainbows and butterflies.

Our mindset has a big role in how we deal with gambling. If we see it the wrong way then we will surely make decisions that will surely affect our gambling journey negatively. We should know the real purpose of gambling in our lives so we could not see it as the only way to succeed. We should only consider it as a source of entertainment and not a source of living.

Gambling could entertain us but wouldn't help us survive life because not everyone could really be lucky on it. It has a huge risk to be considered as a source of passive income. We should see it the right way or else, we might lose everything we have because of the wrong mindset. Gambling will always be addictive so we should place it in not on top of everything so we will not fall into gambling addiction easily.

[YuginKadoya]

What you said op is correct about the opinions you mentioned, but as others have said, that is not easy to do especially if a gambler has been playing in a casino for a long time. Because of course they are used to that routine gambling, so what will happen is that they will have an adjustment time for the routine they are used to. But when they are also used to that, for sure that will improve the situation of what they will do as a responsible gambler for sure in the end.

For sure it is not applicable for all, it will certainly have its boundaries, and OP has said if a person still wants to gamble but doesn't want to get addicted to it then they should do the option OP has said which is pretty much applicable for some, but it is not going to be applicable for all, for sure if those people you are saying is not yet addicted because an addicted person is pretty much harder to come back from his addiction, sad to say but it is the truth, for me there is a sense of making them less addicted and that is what has OP have said, there is still a chance once you become addicted to it in some point the human minds sometimes can withstand being addicted wth only his mind,

      -    Agreed, if there is no such intention with a spring inside him to quit, this gambler will not be able to get rid of it. Just trying but no one really wants to change. That's why our number one enemy is ourselves. And when we overcome defeating ourselves, for sure it will be easy to give up gambling.

Although, there are others who still gamble but they know how to control themselves and limit gambling, in short, these are the responsible gamblers who gamble but are not addicted.

If a person has full control of what he is doing he is still intact within not getting addicted to it, there is really self-control that most people have those being addicted have lost their determination in controlling themselves not to gamble, that sense of urgency to gamble will surely show if a person has a weak mind it will surely show those tendencies,

But it has shown that it can fully be controlled by anyone with a strong-willed person not giving any possible traits that he is addicted, because addiction will surely start once your mind shows weakness,

The mistake of a gambler is when they make gambling the main source of making money and put it as the main goal in their life. When they make gambling the main activity in their life, of course there are many things they will sacrifice and that includes family. So there's no need to be surprised that most of the addicted gamblers don't have a good relationship with their families, because they really don't put it as a priority in their lives anymore.

I think this doesn't happen all the time because I have seen many taking the act of gambling as a form of just buying time for themselves this just happens when a person is desperate which is got a small percentage in our society I believe there is a chance for this people to return but preventing it from happening is surely what we have to do 1st,

Because if people get carried away once, then the same thing will most likely happen again at a different time.

And it is because of this that gamblers need to avoid reaching that point, as once you have some problems to leave gambling behind and stop gambling for any period of time then things will get progressively harder, a few decades ago this was not as dangerous as gambling was not so widespread, but when you have access to thousands of casinos all over the world every single day of the week then this means that even the smallest weakness on your personally can be more than enough to take a path of no return, and eventually become addicted to gambling.

[ethereumhunter]

yes, it's true, as a gambler I also feel that the desire to gamble again when losing is always there, but it depends on how we control it, for me personally I will not follow my emotions let alone the desire to beat the casino chasing the money that has run out before, just watch many people who do that in the end they are defeated over and over again.

Luckily I have control over my bets by limiting my budget for gambling, so when I reach my daily budget limit of course I will stop not caring about the feeling of wanting to play again with myself so I have to be diverted so I don't follow my emotions and try not to care about it, it's true that it's normal that feeling is there when we lose, but in the end everything returns to their respective intentions and their way of recording

So it's a normal thing that can happen to every gambler, especially if they experience loss. The desire will always arise, but we must control it so that it does not cause us to experience greater losses. And with our experience, we should be able to handle it well and have no problems with self-control.

And making budget restrictions is needed so that we don't cross the line in gambling. And those of us who have often experienced loss should be able to hold back our emotions or the desire to keep playing if the limit is almost reached. But we must continue exercising self-control because gambling will surely tempt us to return.

Not only in gaming but in all of our activities, balance is essential. Perhaps we are speaking the same language? However, it is crucial to comprehend the mechanics and the method

It is good to draw lessons from the past. We may, er, study the murky elements of our prior efforts. In this manner, even if we trip over a branch or stumble over pebbles, we will know how to, uh, glance up at the sky? There is always space for improvement.

It's similar to caring for a plant at a casino. Sort of

Yes, a balance is necessary so that something we don't want doesn't happen. But it also requires practice which we must do often to master well. And taking lessons from the past as learning is an effort to improve ourselves in everything we will do in the future.

We should indeed be able to be wiser in gambling, especially if we already have a lot of experience in playing gambling. And we also often have successes and defeats that come to us one after another so that we can behave properly towards gambling. And only by being a responsible gambler can we do gambling so that we don't experience bigger losses every time we gamble.

Well but to prevent all of that it seems very difficult indeed. I have a coworker and he is an active gambler and can also be said to be addicted, every time he tries to stop for example a week not gambling he says that it's like something is missing from his life, maybe he has brought gambling into a part of his life and he finds it difficult not to do that activity, or maybe it's because he has considered gambling as a regular income for him even though the reality is losing again. Like I said before that no one wants to be stuck there, I'm sure their normal mind knows about what's best for them but their lust has led them into the black spot of gambling so they are stuck and it's hard to go back. The only step that can be done is to utilize self-control, nothing more than that.
Although it is difficult but nothing is impossible if one has the determination to quit, don't think too much about the big win there but think about the big risk.

I do agree with all of that.
It starts with a small bet and then it goes further especially when we are losing while we are trying to chase back what was lost.
With so many options of gambling sites on the internet to pick from, I bet some gamblers are also trying to jump from one casino to another trying to test their luck.
Recently, I read one guy in a conflict about how it went with another gambling site and I was actually shocked that many gamblers also shared their grief and the site that was being discussed. For some reason, I don't do this because there's a chance addiction will be more prone after losing to a lot of gambling sites and chasing all that was lost. IMO, it's not a healthy action, and sticking with one, and waiting for the RTP to click is better than that.
