If you quit that's when you lose!

[Vaskiy]

Or worse, people will start considering committing a suicide and eventually end up taking their own life just like what we discussed here in this forum a couple of weeks ago about a student who used his tuition in gambling activities.

Honestly, it's not really that surprising that gamblers will end up in a situation like these because right from the start, they are already thinking it wrong and chasing whatever what is lost will be the easiest shortcut towards debt and problems. Gambling should be played with a total control over your emotions and setting the boundaries so that problems can be avoided.

This kind of situation will never cease to exist as long as there is no school for gamblers to guide them through their journey to placing a bet. Every gambler is basically a learner on its own, and at some point too, you can learn some things from other gamblers. The question is, what if you are learning from a bad gambler? It means the person can still be influenced. Chasing Losses in gambling is bad, but it's absolutely inevitable in the lives of some gamblers. Yes, I also came across the thread where the student gambled with the school fee. But the worst thing a compulsive gambler can do is commit suicide. It's really terrible to do such a thing.

Life is to live and we don't have the right to end it. We haven't made our life, our parents have given it and we're living it in the way we're taught and we've learnt. To some extent we'll be under the guidance of parents and guardians, beyond that it is the self learning and the practice that makes the person make decisions. As said losing is common and we should have the mind to accept it. When we go behind the losses to recover it we'll end up losing more and more. The continued losing streak and unable to achieve anything in life makes them end the life. We should not let our mind go to such extent at any situation.

There's a thread that wants gambler to quit and there goes this thread that has a quote in your hometown encouraging people not to quit or else, they're losers.

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?

My decision is my decision.

I will not allow someone to get on touch with my decision because I am already a grown up and I know what's best for me. Either someone says that gambling is terribly bad and I may lose a lot of money.

I knew that from the very start but I am not that type of gambler that will allow it to happen.

Standing on your own decision as a gambler can be that easy to do when you're what I would describe as a one man squad gambler. A kind of gambler that doesn't have some group of fellow gambling friends but does his thing alone.
But it would be difficult to have your decision untouched when you are that type of gambler that has an exclusive clique of gamblers and this clique can influence your decision. You may try to hold on but there's a 50/50 chance of you or any gambler that finds himself with cliques to bow to pressure at some point. It is like a peer group influence.

Commiting suicide is becoming a common thing as people turn to suicide to avoid dealing with their mistakes. The rate of suicide is increasing and an addictive gambler that would have lost all their savings or money they borrowed to gamble could turn to suicide to end it.

There are some online courses on been a profitable gamblers, I haven't taken the courses but have seen lots of reviews of how they improved after taking the courses online. Maybe they're lying or not but those courses can be considered a form of school for gamblers.

There's mentorship in every activity on earth so there would be mentorship on gambling as well but the mentorship might just be about teaching you how to bet still you need to develop your own strategies of betting and depending on your won luck to win when you bet

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?

I don't agree with the statement "if you quit, that's when you lose". Because if you did not, is there an assurance you'll get back what you lost or be a gainer? No right. Thus, if you know the risk of gambling you'll not get easily influence by this saying.

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?

If I quit, it's because of my own decision and not because I am influence of what other gamblers have to say. You don't have to depend to anyone when making a decision and you don't have to listen unless it's for your own good. Like giving advice to have self-control or play in moderation.

It will come back to each person because our decisions should not be influenced by what others say or suggest. We must have a strong stance to not follow what other people say. But the reality is that often our decisions are based on what other people say and we immediately take their advice without thinking about how it will affect us or what we should do with the results we will get. And we often come back to them for advice on solving the problem because we tend not to think about solving it and instead expect advice from others.
