If you quit that's when you lose!

It somehow reminded me of stories about some gamblers who resorted to borrowing money from their relatives and friends to continue gambling with the hope of winning back the money they lost in the casinos. I guess it is better for gamblers to learn how to stop gambling and cut losses early if they found themselves starting to borrow money to gamble as the chances for them to recoup their losses are very low.

If you don't gamble just for the money, you may never regret what you lose. But in reality most gamblers gamble to get fast money so when they stop they will really regret this bad habit. I often say that gamble responsibly so you won't feel much of the aftermath of it. Don't be 100% looking to make a profit on gambling, it's too difficult because the probability of your win is not always higher than the loss.

The true statement is, when you stop gambling, you have stopped spending money on gambling, which in turn will leave you with more of your budget that can be saved or spent elsewhere. Just like trading, cut losses are a good idea when you want to prevent more losses. But if you gamble for fun, then you will surely realize that losing is an integral part of gambling.

Those who gamble for a quick buck will only regret it because they have gambled a lot of money and never managed to get a big win. If you have lost several times, perhaps that is a sign for you to stop for a while to rest because if not, your desire to recover those losses will be even greater so that it can cause you to experience more and more defeats.

When you stop gambling, it means that your loss is that big and won't get bigger unless you continue playing gambling. Many people prefer to continue gambling because they hope to win some money to recover from their losses and also earn money. But it won't be what they think.

Forcing ourselves when we lose is definitely not something that is very good to do, and as you said in such a case one must realize that returning to financial condition after getting a loss again and again should not be something easy and tends to be impossible so in this case the importance of trying to stop when we get a loss is very good. That can be one of the good things and make us at least not too focused on the gambling losses that have occurred.
We must realize that although ambition is good but being too ambitious especially in gambling will only destroy yourself.

There's a popular  remark among gamblers in the part of  my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose".  They use this statement to encourage and give futuristic hope to themselves that no matter how much they loss today or how many wagers they have lost they don't need to quit as it's possible you may be the next jackpot winner tomorrow. For it's like say don't quit yet there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

From what I observed from this statement is that, many of these gamblers have been misled by this very remark of a hypothetical hope which has liquidated their account.  While some who would have quit gambling long ago still hedge their hope on the idea behind the statement and keeps wagering.

Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?

I feel maybe the author of that statement is an agent for a gambling site and was trying to encourage people to bet more knowing they stand a greater chance of losing, especially those that requires you to wager some fews before withdrawals it's a very wrong statement and people should decist from that idea, now my question is, are those people willing to lose their funds gradually for a long period of time till they hit the jackpot? and eventually you go broke due to that would you risk wagering your valuablable items to recover your losses? If yes then goodluck to them  but if no then why would people allow themselves to be deceived by wrong statements.
 
  I've come across this similar statement where peope say they'll recover all their money before they quit, which is also wrong as well because that's one of the criteria of becoming addicted to gambling you should know when to pause for a while else you'll suffer more loss due to anxiety, however in my country some  people claim they can't quit because it's become part of their lifestyle, and if they're reputable many others mostly younger ones would want to emulate such lifestyle which is also very wrong.

From very low to non existent as I have yet to hear a story of how a homeless person in full debts managed to go to the casino to win big and to pay back all debts,win money and to buy a mansion for him to change the life from this to that.This means that most of the times,for me always whenever a person borrows money it is directly going to ruin himself if he put that money as a deposit in any casino and plays there.There are simply no stories of such persons and this should be enough to have as example that the statement "if you quit that's when you lose" maybe related to other fields in life but got nothing to do with gambling.

If you do this, you will only get bigger losses at the end of the game session and worse, you can lose all of your balance.
Being too ambitious to return losses is always disastrous for gamblers, so it's better to just stop when you're experiencing defeat.
Controlling emotions when losing will be more difficult than controlling emotions when winning, so it's better to leave immediately and leave the sites that we use for a while.

In my country about that statement is the opposite, "If you stop to gamble then you have been declared winning" This is more logical than looking at the opportunity at a glimmer of light of money, you can't see and very sudden.

The statement on statement OP was misleading in my opinion, and that thought was usually eaten by gambling addicts, so they spent the money he had to get the divine light from the tunnel described, but actually it was a statement to make them enthusiastic about spending money in gambling, and or trapped Those who have ignorance and have no regulation in managing finances.

Oh yes definitely! Sure, this kind of mindset works in other aspects of life but in gambling where the odds are random, this cannot be applied.

I used to believe in the saying the only failure is when you stop trying but this only works where failure is not an option in grinding in real life. But in gambling, this cannot be applied.

Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?

I honestly believe that it is very incorrect to apply this kind of statement to something that is risky in nature. Gambling is not something where you can perfect your craft on. Sure, you may know ways of increasing the odds in your favour but if you are against something on the numbers itself, then it is futile.

No matter how good you may get, gambling is still gambling and the more you play, the more you put yourself in a situation where losing is also an option.

I do not agree with you, it depends on what you are quoting for, if you quit for something that has values like Bitcoin investment, although Bitcoin investment is 90% not 100% but if you quit for gambling I don't see that as lossing anything rather than saving your money, this statement is mostly used for gambling addict's, the are the only persons who say that to motivate there gambling instincts.
If I quit for gambling I will not take that as losing, prove me wrong by not agreeing with what I said.

On the one hand we will continue to lose and will certainly keep us in trouble, even new problems can occur at that time.
It's like a hole that if we can't get out of it then we will forever be in such an ambitious state. What we have to do is play from above the hole, so that we can know what limits we should not cross so that we do not fall into the hole.

I totally understand that when gambling, winning is definitely our hope, and when we lose we think we want to return our losses and hope to win with the amount we spent at the beginning and after that stop. But in reality it is not that easy to win in gambling, luck is still a factor in which we can win, especially if we play with great ambition, then I think it will make luck even away from us.

It's difficult to get people to think that far, and maybe they don't even realize things like this. However, the realization must be sought to come to them.

Well, somehow I have seen someone from a less priviledge and was very poor in winning games and after many attempt, he won a life changing money at the end, but it wasn't from a debt, he has no debt but was playing from a small amount with big odds until one day won a lottery and that was how the life change from a common person to someone who own a business because he was educated but just that the money was not there and also bought a house and was living comfortable.

Borrowing money to gamble is like a product with an expire date, when a gambler continue in that path without showing any result for playing all those games, the consequences result to regret and people hating you for real, people will not want to have something to do with you again because you will be know as moeny defulter.

It is indeed misleading and everyone will think and act to get the light -10% win from a 100% win rate, it is a stupid thought if you want to get a win, and maybe it is the words of a gambling influencer who wants to trap people with his stigma.
So it's important here to have the sanity of thinking as you say, so you don't get caught up in stupidity like that, and it's also important to make gambling a place to seek pleasure, not a place to earn money or seek victory, so that everything is controlled within the limits set before gambling.

It's difficult to get people to think that far, and maybe they don't even realize things like this. However, the realization must be sought to come to them.

Indeed, it is difficult to have a sane mind in response to this, especially those who have addiction at a more severe level, will usually ignore the words of people who give good advice to them in response to gambling.

Well then I hope that those gamblers in your country are frequently winning but if they are not and that they are having the opposite outcome, what can I say aside from I'm not really surprised by it. That statement might encourage someone but it's not really advisable because if you say that, it's just like pushing someone towards the edge because instead of saving themselves from a lose streak, they will lose more if they won't quit. Besides, what are the guarantees that if they don't quit they will start winning?

[Marykeller]

The only person who would believe such deceptive statements as "If you quit that's when you lose" is one who lacks a mind or the ability to make their own decisions. In a day, I won't be able to get myself to believe that nonsense. Even though I hear when people make fun of such words to me, I usually make a snide remark like, "Are they the ones giving me money to bet on my lost games?"

The purpose of gambling is not to demonstrate to friends that you will undoubtedly win the games you have wagered on. Quit when success seems hard in your gambling bets to prevent further loss. The loss is felt by you, not by them.

[Odusko]

What i do most times is to make sure I don't gamble more than my selected time because sometimes we get carried away with the excitement of winning that can lead us to loss in the end, this has been the most evident reality of most gamblers.
They either go after chasing losses or get over-excited to gamble more because of winning, and this can result in some outcome that most will likely not be fair to them.

But in all no one really care whether you win or lose as long as you gamble in online casinos that nobody knows your results whether win or lose.

Borrowing money from relatives and friends in order to  sustain Thier wants which is gambling, because of the reason that they are aiming to win. In order to have a profits and pay for Thier loans, but in reality there are only small amount of winning in gambling especially if aiming a profits. And a gambler's don't have Thier luck then for sure they will loss.

Things like this often happen to them (gamblers), who knows what's in their minds so they are so sure of doing this. Borrowing money from other people including relatives in the hope of getting a win and then they pay the debt and receive a little profit on it, this is just an algorithm in the mind, I mean this is just a wish and if they do they will not have the slightest chance of winning the. I'm sure someone who is determined to do this is only for those who are already addicted, so they will most likely justify any means to fulfill their desire to gamble. It's wrong to put too much hope in gambling, and I'm sure some healthy people will think the same. So the point is this is nothing more than a matter of luck, if we continue to chase victory then it is very likely that we will experience a lot of defeats.

[Blitzboy]

That's quite the rallying cry, then, is it not? A beacon of optimism for punters in the midst of a sea of defeat. But is it true, or is it a siren song that leads naive gamblers to ruin? What I think is as follows.

These optimistic proverbs gloss over the degree to which gambling relies on chance. They make us feel like we have control when none exists, and that if we can just hang on, we can beat the odds. The odds of winning in gambling do not follow the pattern of a hero's journey, in which a succession of missteps eventually pays off. Each wager is an independent occurrence unrelated to any previous difficulties.

It's like the old adage that goes something like, "The wheel always comes full circle." I, however, do not share this view. I don't base my decisions on the opinions of others, but on the facts I've independently verified. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against the bettor.

That is the worse effect on trying to put your money at stake especially if you can't afford to lose that money, you would do everything or sacrifice just to bring back what you have lost. Well it might also connected to the phrase "if you quit that's when you lose" . It's actually depends on the person, on how they can handle the regrets on losing something if they would learn to not do it again or would do anything just to bring it back. Always remember that gambling could give you a result of win or lose, that's on you already if you can't accept the fact that you risked your money. Always have a limit on yourself on everything because too much is too much.

So I misunderstood it. I thought we should continue as long as we still have some money in our balances inside our gambling accounts. And I think many won't agree with this one. Anyways, on the real meaning of the quote, I agree on it. We can also apply it on other areas in life and not just in gambling that we must not give up easily.

Quitting won't let you grow. I think that even if a gamblers didn't hear the quote, there is a big chance that they will still continue. It's either they are addicted already or they don't see gambling as a wrong doing. It's just part of their normal life. I think there is no such quote here in my country but people here can say negative things about gambling only to discourage someone from engaging on it.
