Why is it so hard to stop?

[banana33]

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?

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 This is what makes me a little freer to gamble with an amount that is ready not to be withdrawn as cash.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.

It is simple, just think that the game must be fun, and not something that must be toxic to your health and your loved ones, it is enough for me to think about it, to live it as a pastime, and there is nothing easier.

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.

Alburrent and try to win necessarily and not admit that you have lost the money probably from a psychological point of view and the hardest part of the bets, because when you want to win necessarily and you have a goal in your head, you do not easily admit that you have made a mistake and to have lost and have moved away from your goal.

[Lidger]

We should stop when we see results going against us gradually but we make a common mistake of not stopping and that common mistake is gambling again to recover the amount of money lost. This is perhaps the worst move a gambler can make. Since the money is only losing at that time, if a new gambler gambles at that time, then he will not be able to make the right decision at that time and it will be seen that even if he gambles with a different plan, that plan will not work for him. I would not call successful gamblers those who make money gambling but those gamblers who at least understand when to take a break from gambling or when to stop gambling.   

Since many gamblers cannot stop gambling at the right time, they often end up losing huge sums of money. So of course we need to acquire at least this technique so that we can stop at the right time.

[Tungbulu]

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.

This is literally the worse position any gambler can find himself, because before you must’ve gotten to this point, it means that some emotions must’ve already aroused, which is pushing you to cliff top and when you finally find yourself at the top of the cliff, and you look back, it’s like you’ve already come too far and don’t even know how you’re gonna turn back so you’d rather just see it to the end which we know doesn’t always end well.

So before gambling, make sure you know the risks and know how to stop.
Don't just go into gambling without knowing what to do when more losses happen and no money management is done by you.

Careless people only use their money to gamble and do revenge gambling when defeat always happens, and there is no pause to stop because the defeat keeps happening.
There will be no victory when you do it blindly, only more losses will occur.

Quitting on time or knowing the limits to where you gamble is also affected by how your psychology,
mental strength will be a good navigation and don't fight back when your feelings say you should stop.

We should stop when we see results going against us gradually but we make a common mistake of not stopping and that common mistake is gambling again to recover the amount of money lost.

my own philosophy and gambling is that whenever you see that you are losing much in gambling you have to stop at that moment because if you continue gambling you might be able to lose more on the process, so for me I think that anytime that you are seeing a default in gambling you should not further ahead to continue the gambling because it may push you to borrow money if you don't have money to gamble and then when you borrow the money to gamble you might lose the money so it is better for you to give the gambling environment space for that moment so that you will be able to dumbo without tension, the most of things that men some people to lose in gambling is because of tension, so such is one of the things that push people to be addicted.

People are creatures of habit. We get comfortable in routines and when you combine that with something that gives you a rush of adrenaline - like those first few big wins at a casino, then we go back to places that make us feel happy. Except casinos can often weight good experiences towards new players or give bonuses that disguise how much money you will eventually pour into these sites. That leads you on to a second psychological trap that is a blend of wanting revenge from these sites that have taken money from you and thinking that because you've taken so many losses over time (even just one session) that your fortune is destined to change with a winning streak - however that's not how the odds work, each attempt on slots for example is completely isolated from all past and future plays when ignoring side games that they dangle in front of you.

We cannot argue about ourselves because it's a true enemy that we cannot defeat. We're slaves of our ownselves when we gamble because even if the will is there but we're not willing to follow it, we're all losers in our own battles.

How do you control yourself and do the right thing?

Maybe looking at the impact of gambling to everyone that have been addicted. That's how it probably will help us to think properly that we shouldn't step further when we're losing money and always follow the budget that we set to.

You are totally correct mate. It all points back to us at the very end. It's why I dislike when gamblers begins to point fingers to casino for ruining their life. The casino doesn't force you to register on their site. They had a service and you chose to use them. Having control over how much we gamble on is difficult but if you can manage it at least, you won't end up becoming an addict. so many people finds it difficult to stop themselves because they lack self control.

The main thing is that if you need money quickly, stay away from gambling, because gambling will not give you money but will take more money from you.

basic thing to know and consider before entering into gambling. yes, gambling is full of risks, which sometimes we often do not realize if we have been caught in its circle, and without realizing it we have spent our savings, even personal money for daily expenses. This is really dangerous. I totally agree, actually, if there is no preparation whatsoever, it is better to stay away from gambling.

Gambling can guarantee you to lose, but there is no guarantee of winning. Therefore, see gambling as entertainment, if you gamble with the hope of quick profit, it will lead you to quick losses.

I love these words.
Gambling really can do it. In fact, when a pro gambler will definitely experience defeat in gambling, it's just that, they may be much more understanding of how to see the situation and finally be able to return their money again.

But for ordinary people, don't expect too much, unless we are a person with big luck forever and are guaranteed for it. But who will guarantee it? None.

It is very hard to stop gambling because many people do feel guilty of leaving after they have lost a lot from gambling. Just imagine you losing up to $200k  to online casinos. How would you feel when you want to let go of the money and leave gambling alone? There is always a spirit that will keep compelling you to stay back and get your money back from betting before you leave. This can be very painful at time and it is for people that are always calculating how much they are using to bet every single time. Some casinos don't have the features to let you know how much you have won from betting and how much you have lose. This is necessary to help you watch your gambling activities and how much you have spent.

It's incredibly hard to get that self control, this isn't a ln impuse either it's a skill developed over time. Some people can stop when they're desperate but if they're a little drunk or high forget it. The people that put themselves in these situations would do good just sitting it out at home tbh

I agree with what you said, but just to add on this one, I think the environment also affects you and your decision to quit on gambling. I mean if you have a circle of friends who're heavily into gambling, there are some people that are being forced to gamble also because their friends are gambling as well. There are some who can quit just easily even though their friends are gambling though because they felt that it affects their lives negatively hence, they need to quit.

Overall, if you feel that you need to stop, just stop. If you feel that you lost a significant amount of money already, stop. if you feel that it's affecting you negatively already, stop. Sometimes, stopping on gambling really is hard, but there are times where you need to stop especially if bad things happen at the same time to you and gambling is the main culprit of it.

I agree that this is the biggest problem of gamblers they don't want to admit anything easily it is foolish to try to win at gambling if you lose. Many times people have a misconception that they can win money by gambling. They believe that maybe this time they will win big or that today my luck will open they keep playing again and again hoping with confidence to play just one more time.

That's why this is where the importance of having limits on the amount we will put into gambling comes in, and you will also follow discipline with yourself; these two things, if we do them and get used to them, will certainly not be difficult for us as gamblers to stop when the money we are gambling is gone.

When there are no limits on the money we will put into any casinos we enter, it is not surprising that the chances are high that the bettor will chase the amount he/she has already lost in the gambling casino for sure. Because he/she has no limitation on the fund he/she is betting. He/she will only stop when all his funds are really gone. The others lead to selling his property, and the others even lead to violence due to gambling addiction.

The hard truth is even my self sometimes still chasing that losses and hope at least made a break event point and then get out from the space but you know this is hard the reality is we need to get out without even bother the losses in the past.

This week I just want to commit to not touch the space again when I hit more losses so this is the final game the end game for me

Yes, it is hard to stop any addiction, and gambling can become one.

The key is to not only stop doing the gambling, but also start doing something else that makes you feel good instead.

So, by doing something more productive with that time, you slowly will be able to reduce and eventually remove the thoughts of gambling from your mind.

1. Greed
2. Chasing up loses
3. Believing that you can be rich with gambling

These are the primary reasons on why you do keep on playing gambling on which you do really that believe that you can be able to achieve out such goals when you do gamble. We are just humans and we do have that love for money and once you do able to see the opportunity that you can make out some profits and having the chance to become rich then it will really be that making you pursue to play up even more. For those who can be able to stop midway then its really that good but if you are really that not be able to do so then this do really indicates that you are already getting addicted into it on which this will really be that the main difference.
Why it is hard to stop because you do have these things in mind on which you would really be able to continue to play no matter what.

If you do tolerate out such emotion then it will really be that causing up that devastation when it comes into your financial condition. So it will really be that up to you whether you do allow fo these things to happen or not.
If you dont like on having that care of your finance then you will really be that proceeding into the things on what you are currently doing and wont really be minding much about on future results or outcomes.

Yes, all kinds of addiction is difficult to get out of national thing. But if you want it is possible. And whatever kind of addiction drug smoking or gambling says they can all create addiction and not easy to get rid of them. The effects of such addiction occur emotionally and physically in human disasters that can affect the brain. You do something instead of that habit where you will bring your positive change and help you move forward in life. And try to do something new constantly so you can succeed. If you’re from winning addict, you’re busy with another kind of work and I think it’s best to remove gambling from yourself slowly. But yes you can play gambling for my own entertainment I constantly play gambling as entertainment and injoy.

Those who can stop at the right time can make better decisions later. It cannot be done that the person is repeatedly gambling and losing and repeatedly gambling again to recover the previous money. If the gambler continues to gamble like this periodically without being relaxed, it will be seen that he is losing much more money and the money once lost in such gambling cannot be recovered. If you take a bet or play a gamble, you need to know in advance what amount of profit it can give based on the capital. If a $100 bet makes a $20 profit, I don't think there's any need to make that kind of bet because the gambler might lose $100 for that $20 profit. Every gambler should think carefully before gambling and then gambling. Here the more hasty a gambler is, the more wrong his decision will be.
