Why is it so hard to stop?

[Rockstarguy]

That's right, with any major loss we have to stop and take a break for a while. And the bigger our loss, the longer we have to take a break. Why should we take a break? To think about our strategy and our trading system. After all, the very fact of losing, and especially a major loss that reduces our bankroll, for example, by half, already tells us that we are doing something wrong. This fact indicates that our strategy is untenable and we need to change something urgently. Or just take a long break to think and most likely abandon the current strategy or significantly modify it.

Consistency in gambling as one lose is the reason why some people even get addicted because sometimes their are certain amount of money that you may lose in gambling when you think of letting go you would think letting it go is even a bigger lose and you keep chasing it and with this style of gambling, before you know it becomes an habit . There are so many reasons why one needs to stop gambling losing, for the sake of losing more and adopting a bad gambling habit.

Quitting is not difficult at all if you have other activities, other things that can bring you a very good profit. Just switch to them and you will not have time for gambling, and you need to be responsible, if gambling only takes money from you, then why do you do it? If you have too much free time, then you start looking for something to do, if you are constantly busy with something, then you can just switch to other things and not think about gambling, it seems simple to me.

Quitting gambling is not difficult for those who do not experience addiction, but for those who have been trapped in a circle of addiction then quitting and quitting gambling is not something that is easy to do, even when you have many positive and more profitable activities but still gambling will be your top priority, I personally have several friends who have been addicted and are currently in rehabilitation centres, from what I see in them, I think quitting gambling and escaping addiction is not something you can plan and realise easily, because here we are talking about psychological factors, both emotions and many other factors.

Absolutely agree with you. Not everyone is able to get rid of addiction on their own, and this applies not only to gambling. Someone even after several visits to rehabilitation centers returns to gambling, and someone easily gives up gambling just having the motivation to stop losing money. In my opinion, everything depends on the psychological profile of each individual person. Therefore, each addicted gambler needs a different approach. Specially trained people can help in determining this approach.

Gambling is such a addiction national game if you enter there once. Then getting out of there will be very difficult for you. Because the addiction will grow a little. Whenever you bet, your mind will become addictive. You’ll bet once you win again one time. Whenever you lose all the money you want to bet again and you’ll bet constantly. It’s very difficult to get out of here. If you can continue to maintain all these things you will certainly have the possibility to benefit but it’s not actually possible.

When a gambler plays, the person certainly has high confidence in his abilities, as if he can conquer the game even though gambling is basically a game of chance. Playing again for the next round from the initial capital that has been set at the beginning, I think it is not too much of a problem, from here it is important that self-control or emotion is the main key for a responsible gambler so as not to get carried away by the flow of the game much deeper. The need to develop a strategy for us to play again can help gamblers stay focused and not be affected by the results of the game. This includes being able to know when to stop and not get caught up again.

Having high confidence in winning I think it will only exist in a gambler who is obsessed with winning and clearly that is a very wrong approach because excessive confidence in winning will ultimately only increase disappointment and emotion when the results are not as expected. Everything that is done with planning, management, control and responsibility is certainly the most appropriate approach, especially if we talk in the context of gambling which is an activity that can be very tempting that will continue to tempt you until finally they usually only realize when all their money is gone and that is the reason why the right approach to gambling is actually quite complicated but that's how it should be.

[summonerrk]

I always read that when we’re losing big, we should stop to avoid losing even more. But deep inside, if you still have money left, it’s like you want to chase your losses as it feels like you can’t sleep unless you gamble again and try to recover.

Does anyone here experience this from time to time? Because in the end, the real enemy is ourselves.
How do you control yourself and do the right thing?

I have watched many interviews with addicted gamblers and often they explain their inability to stop gambling by the fact that luck will turn in their favor with the next bet.

Also, motivation for new and new bets is given to them by the fact that often, they already owe something or want to return their money, which they did not lose in the game, for some reason such problematic players expect that when they easily played money, then this money can also be easily returned from an online casino or from a bookmaker, But this is an erroneous calculation.

[traderethereum]

It doesn’t take long to break a habit. Just take it seriously and stop gambling for real if you want to quit. After a month you will have replaced that activity with something else and won’t even feel a desire to do it. It is a really weak character trait to want to do something but be the one stopping yourself from doing it.

You know is very easier to say than done, of course quiting from gambling does not take long that's for most gamblers not all. Because I still want to tell you that those folks who are deeply addicted into gambling always find it very difficult to break that habit of gambling,  even when they engage themselves in other activities that can make them not to think about it, at some point they will still remember it. Though is not always that easy to let go of something more especially when someone is addicted into it, but with time they can be able to let it go.

Indeed, it is very easier to say than done. But quiting from gambling need a big effort to do because he must have some activities so he can distract his minds and start to forget gambling. Build a new habit need time and that could be a month until he can really have a new habit that can distract him from his old habit.

Those who feel they are addicted to gambling need to open themselves to other people and tell their problem so other people can start to help them and solve the problem. It need a courage to open what happen to them but that will worth it because that make other people know the truth and if that is their closest people, they will help them.

When you do have that confidence in winning then it will really be that resulting into that kind of desperation on which you will really be that rushing up your analysis on which this is really that bad. Gambling is really that not bad as long you do really know on what you should gonna do and in speaking about capital management or them money that you can afford to lose because if you are really that going into the opposite approach then it will really be that a huge problem on which at the time you will doing up such approach. Gambling is really that entertaining and its not really that bad as long you are already having that spending on which you can afford to lose. It will really be that depending on how someone will be making out such action.

Why it is hard to stop? On the time or moment that you are already making up some huge profits then you would really be thinking that you can make yourself that becoming that rich with gambling and once this one kicks in then it will really be that hard to control because of that such greed. This is where people do really that having that huge problem at the time that you will be experiencing up such huge loses and this is why its really that important that you do really need up to consider out such action.

[Natalim]

I have watched many interviews with addicted gamblers and often they explain their inability to stop gambling by the fact that luck will turn in their favor with the next bet.

They were just driven by their greed and assumptions. I hope every gambler stops thinking luck always comes after we lose our bets. We could hope to be lucky in the next bet, but not to the extent that we are confident about it because it seems impossible.

Also, motivation for new and new bets is given to them by the fact that often, they already owe something or want to return their money, which they did not lose in the game, for some reason such problematic players expect that when they easily played money, then this money can also be easily returned from an online casino or from a bookmaker, But this is an erroneous calculation.

I agree it is difficult to stop because our mindset has been influenced already. But I believe we have to refresh our minds and see the losing situation from uncontrolled gambling addiction. We never expect it instantly, but at least we do a gradual change of our gambling style. The most important thing is that we take some actions not to worsen the situation and to prevent addiction.

[asarfiar]

No one has a hand on the fate, after hundreds of attempts, when you see that you cannot succeed, it is an argument to decide you to leave it. You see that you are constantly being damaged and you are not getting any remedy in any effort, I think it should be stopped immediately. In the case of gambling I will sayIt depends on some of the strategic aspects of the person's zodiac.  If you are losing again and again, you need to change the direction. When you refrain from this practice for some time or one to two months, your interest in that game will start to diminish andAt one time you will have no interest in the game and then you can control yourself.

The situation is true, but as with every decision you have a plan and a specific target. This is what makes me a little freer to gamble with an amount that is ready not to be withdrawn as cash. As long as you set limits then it feels like the situation can still be controlled. It's different if there is no limit to the amount every day/week, as long as there is a little money left then it will usually make you continue to gamble again. Now guess where your current situation is? surely it all started from dissatisfaction when gambling and wanting to play again before you can fall asleep.

Agreed with what you said, gamblers that losses their bet mostly thinks that they can regain back their losses in the next round/game but which is kind of hard to get because winning the next game/round is based on luck entirely, even though they put a lot of work to make their prediction, they sill need luck for the game to become success. However they likely deceive themselves that their strategy will work for them on the next round because they kind of being careful while making their predictions for the next round.

The feeling of revenge or the desire to pursue losses will always arise in our minds when we are experiencing losses, but it is not impossible even though it will be a little difficult for us to do so that we really stop playing when we are at a loss because it all depends on our personal principles if we can control our emotions well then the desire to pursue losses will not occur.
Usually when I am in that situation, I immediately exit the game and do other activities that make me happy.

Having self control and discipline when gambling matters a lot. If you don't have self control, you will not be able to quit the game at the right time. You will also believe that chasing your losses is the only way to recover it back. Losses cannot be recovered, and if you understand this, you will try all your possible best to let go of your losses in order to be a responsible gambler.

[Dunamisx]

We all understand that gambling comes with a kind of exciting moments whereby we may not like to quit playing at a particular time because of the fun we are enjoying thereof, nevertheless, we should also be able to have limit on everything we do, especially when it's already not coming to us as expected, we are to choose between to stop for a moment and later continue or apply a change from the pattern at which we are using in playing.

The danger arises when we cross our boundaries and try to win in gambling without any hesitation, even though we should have had more patience. As long as we have money or tokens in our portfolio, we are in a state of restlessness and indecision. We are in a state of disarray at that time. You are more tempted to lose money in gambling, which is actually a harmful possibility for you. You may be driven by the opposite of the situation you want to push. Defeat surrounds you and you need to find a way out of it. It is recommended that you do not keep enough in your portfolio to manage when to stop. It is possible to keep yourself more aware through limitations.

I can say from my personal experience that if a person does not repent of his gambling and vows to quit gambling, he will never be able to quit gambling because the longer he continues to gamble the more addicted he becomes. There he will sometimes win a good amount and he will be very happy about it but later he will lose more than that and he will continue his gambling to recover that loss, and thus he will not be able to avoid his gambling. And his such activities will gradually weaken him financially. At some point he will realize how much gambling is ruining him but until then his financial structure will crumble.

You speak well, mate, but gambling itself is not a bad game, the person doing it makes it weird. Let me explain, when a person gambles, their main aim is to earn more money, right? This means gambling is the one that can provide high profits compared to other sources, which is a positive aspect. Now, when he gambles, he earns more, and at the same time, he is relaxing and entertaining himself with different games and people. We know everything has its pros and cons, but a successful person will only focus on the pros. If he loses some money, why does he lose his emotional control? He will earn that money again, just like he did the first time. However, the negativity lies in his head, leading him to do foolish things and bringing himself to the point where his balance is zero. If he had some control, the situation would change. So, gambling is not as bad as it seems, but the players make it worse.

You are right, what makes gambling bad is the gambler himself. Gamblers are unable to control themselves from doing foolish things that will worsen the gambler's situation. Some gamblers do find it difficult to stop in certain emotional situations, but that will not happen every time to gamblers.
Cases of addicted gamblers certainly have different treatments to be able to make gamblers stop. It will indeed require strong determination to start leaving gambling. Plus it may require encouragement from others to be able to control addicted gamblers.

When does a person want to get rid of gambling? When he loses everything, then he will want to get rid of gambling. If someone asks you for some ways to get rid of gambling addiction, then if you first research his past, you will see that he has lost a huge amount of money, and after becoming destitute, he is looking for ways to get rid of gambling addiction. If he always win, Then he never want to getting out form gambling any time. But a gambler can never win without losing, after winning a game in gambling, he has to lose more later. and A gambler doesn't understand the right things at first, when he has already lost everything, he starts looking for ways. But then there is no chance of recovering his losses.

You are really that the main reason on why you are experiencing gambling negative effects because of the wrong decisions you have been done because you've been that hoping on something on which its not even realistic. Gambling isnt bad on general sense a long you do have that good control and moderation when it comes into your gambling spending on which if you are really just that sensible into the actions you are taking then you wont be putting yourself on such trouble. Gamblers will really be that mindful into their acts as long they arent experiencing up some issues, but on the time or moment that you do become that experiencing unfortunate conditions then it will be that totally an another story.

On the time that you do have in mind that that you do have tons of loses and you do need to get back those loses, then your primary thing in mind is that you would really be that needing up to recover on which this one will really be causing up for you to not to stop on what you are currently doing because of having those intents or plans ahead.
