Which is easier, to quit when winning or to quit when losing?

[Tipstar]

In my opinion, it would be easier to quit when winning rather than losing. A person in loss always looks for getting back into profit from gambling even though it may include rage betting and losing more than they can afford. While its easier to leave with money when you are winning. I personally have trained my mind to stop at a limit whether I'm winning or losing but all people don't have that sort of will power and emotions outweighs logic.
In some types of gambling there is some degree of peer pressure not to leave when you are winning and even some physical casino would try to keep engaging you too so you from leaving with huge amount of money.

I know that as gamblers, everyone can relate to this question, as we have surely experienced it in real situations.

Suppose our bankroll is $100 and it has already grown to $500, would you quit or continue? Conversely, if with our bankroll, we are down to $10, would you still continue or save the remaining $10? I used specific amounts to make it easier to discuss this situation. I understand that we all gamble with different amounts based on our income, but consider this as an example. You can mention any amount you want based on your personal experience; it doesn't matter.

When to stop gambling depends on how you control your gambling. If one is involved in making money then it becomes really difficult to get rid of gambling. There are many who go to the point where they can't control their greed in order to get profit from gambling and thus they face losses instead of profits from gambling. There is another class of people who go to the point of losing money, where they keep betting repeatedly to recover the money they lost earlier, and eventually become bankrupt, but still cannot stop themselves from gambling. That is, no matter what we say, those who can control themselves from gambling can refrain themselves from gambling under any circumstances and those who cannot control themselves cannot control themselves from gambling under any circumstances.

Some of the points you have given for regulating gambling are correct. First of all you should abandon the tendency to only earn money while gambling and start taking gambling as a form of entertainment. If you gamble for fun, it can reduce your risk of spending money and prevent wasting time. This method can be much easier to control if you can add it to gambling. Second, you can limit time and money allocations such as a particular money allocation and time allocation per week to reduce the risk of losing extra money.

Gambling is not as many take it, they always seek the money which causes the issues they face, and fine, if one can gamble for entertainment, it will be okay, but I wonder how the industry would be if people were sincerely gambling for the fun and not for the money, it would be more boring instead of the fun and will garner little success. The belief of making more money drives people to gamble if we would not deceive ourselves and I know it will remain like that. But we should tell ourselves the truth even if we gamble for the money or fun, let's just be reasonable with both. The right calculations and plans are important in having the correct budget and management both financially and time-wise. Controlling ourselves by being disciplined would also go a long way.

There are some people who are addicted and no discipline or control will help them. They are physically unable to control themselves and it is in fact a disease. I think it is necessary to impose on people from childhood that gambling should be played casually, that it is only a game, as the name implies, and you can't make money on such games, you can only have fun on it and you can't get used to it if you win all the time.

It will depend on what the typical of gamblers we are.
If we are a typical gambler who always try to push gaining more and more money from gambling. It should be very difficult to quite when we often win in gambling. It is because we must think that there will be more and more wins if we keep gambling. But when we often get losses, it may be easier to leave because we may think that we have no luck in gambling. People who can be easier leaving when they win, they probably only gamble for fun only. They don't really expect gaining huge money from gambling. Also, they must be aware that there is no guarantee to keep winning in the future. Actually these type of gamblers are very logical gamblers.

This is very tricky, I myself have stopped gambling for some time because of the consecutive losses that I got from here I thought that I could only stop gambling when I lost but out there there are many stories that I heard about people who stopped gambling when they won, it makes me salute them.

I have been gambling for years, starting from sports betting and slots, to stop completely, my intention is no longer there because when I try to stop, I will return to playing with excessive intensity so that for now I am only trying to make my level of defeat very minimal.

[Docnaster]

Regardless of winning or losing, quiting is one of the most difficult decisions in gambling but since the question is which one is easier, I think it's easier to quit when a gambler is winning than when he's losing. For instance, if a gambler is winning, he's most likely to quit immediately he incures loss in his gamble but when a gambler is losing a lot of money in gambling, he'll want to recover all before quitting.
This is my own opinion about the subject matter, do you have something contrary to my opinion?

discipline in the game is something that comes with experience and years. It is really difficult to come to terms with a loss and leave the game without trying to win back. I have also encountered this. The solution turned out to be very simple: a pre-allocated budget for the game that you don’t mind losing helps you cope with a bad mood for games and you need to give yourself the attitude that I am playing only for entertainment and a fun time and not the goal of hitting the jackpot. Then it will be much easier to watch the games.

It's easier for some people to leave gambling if they see that they are spending too much in gambling and are not making any single profit from it. Some people have the habit of leaving so easily.
 
While for some, that point where they notice that they have spent much to gambling is when they will want to put in more pressure to make sure that they can get back what they have spent in gambling, but instead of regaining those, they will still end up losing more.

That's your own view which is very ok. However if you will agree with me not all persons can do the same and that of course is a bad habit too. Many people fail to know when to stop gambling and that infact is part of the things that contribute to gambling addiction sometimes. Some persons when they are winning let greedy over cloud their judgement and end up staking more than they have to till they eventually lost all they managed to accumulate from previous bets.

On the other hand some people have the bad habit of over staking just to cover the losses they had in previous games and as such they continue to stake over and over again which is wrong. If you observe when people try to forcefully collect their losses back, they end up losing even more. That's actually because they are unable to think straight.

In simple terms, I might say that quitting would be easier for a gambler to do when they are in a losing situation, because if you have run out of funds then logically you will never be able to continue the game even if you still really want to play, there is no tolerance in a losing situation to continue playing, meaning there is no other choice but to stop.

But on the other hand, for the problem of winning situations, I think it depends quite a bit on how the gambler approaches and understands gambling, if only they understand that winning is nothing more than a chance or possibility that will not always be repeated continuously, then of course I am sure that if they have been able to reach $ 500 with a capital of $ 10, then of course quitting will not be too difficult a decision.

There are even people that would never quit when they are losing bet, they are very confidence and expect luck to happen to them at anytime. It is good we know what we are doing and how to make proper gambling attempts having alternatives so in case we are losing, we could get how to play bet so we don't just end up losing  too often. I will always advise my friends to always stop gambling when they are losing bet. Although sometimes we need to know that some quick winnings are trap to make us lose along the way. We might start gambling on the first day and be making huge amounts of money and along the side we are surprised that we are losing bets  after some attempts.

If the situation is a big win, it is very possible for gamblers to think about stopping the game. but if the situation is small wins, which are obtained several times and only increase a small part of the capital, continuing the game will definitely be done by the gambler.
This is related to the target or maybe the level of satisfaction of the gambler. if the gambler is satisfied with the results, I think closing the game can be done. if not, then continuing the game is definitely the choice taken.

Seriously, the two are just kind of difficult to quit, and I won’t say one is easy. Most gamblers now are gambling for the sake of money, and immediately they start winning, they won’t want to stop gambling. We all know how greedy people are, and no matter the amount they have won, they will always want to win more, so they won’t want to give up. The same thing is applicable to when people are losing, they will feel pained and will want to do everything possible to win back their loss. Some of them will say that even if they can’t win from gambling, at least they should be able to recover the amount that they have wasted.
 
If I will be serious, I don’t really know which one is easy to quit because I haven’t been in the position before, but I just think the two are the same, it depends on the mindset of who is gambling, some people won’t stop even when they are losing or winning, and some will stop after losing some amount or winning some amount.

[boyptc]

That will be the same situation if we lose and still difficult to quit gambling. That is why we really need to know when to quit gambling no matter we lose or win.

And we can know that if we've got plans to quit. But if not, you will not know when to.

That's why those addicted gamblers don't know how to quit whether they win or lose, they just can't help it out.

Quit when necessary and when things aren't going along with what you like and I think that's much better.

It should be both ways and not only one ways, you already have won so why are you going to risk betting all your money away when you should know that gambling is a game of luck and no victory is certain until it happens. You can win in gambling and lose the money but you don't have to lose everything that you have won before you should quit and stop gambling. People with good money management habit can't have this kind of experience. I think it's only gambling addicts that kind be this dumb to lose all their money to gambling before quitting because they bet all they have won on one game with the hope that it'll double the money that they have already won. Knowing when to quit as a player is going to help you to manage your money well when you gamble hence it's good to know your limit and not gamble over what you planned to spend. Quitting when winning is better though as you go home happy.
