Winning is hard, why not quit?

[Jody.Drummer]

People who suffer negative consequences, addiction, or even ruin from gambling are those who simply cannot control themselves including their flawed mindset yet continue to gamble anyway. The fact that they find themselves in such a dire situation is a direct result of their own flawed gambling behavior. If only they didn’t cling to the notion that a winning streak might eventually come, such excessive gambling behavior might not occur. Unfortunately, nearly everyone who gambles experiences something similar, so this is indeed a widespread issue. In reality, gambling wisely such as making the most of the profits earned without squandering them and accepting the outcome of a loss is the right way to gamble, and it’s simple, but most people are unable to do it.

Actually the whole gambling environment is such that people want to keep playing. Suppose someone starts playing just for fun, then suddenly they win a little. Then naturally they think that if they play again, they might win again and people naturally hope that something good will happen. Gambling places are also built on this hope. The experience of small wins keeps people going. Then people think that maybe I lost this time but maybe next time I will turn around, I think that's why blaming only people doesn't understand the whole thing.

That’s how casinos retain their customers, and yes, it’s only natural it’s not just casinos that do this every company strives to provide the best service to ensure their customers feel comfortable and keep coming back. But the other side of the issue lies with the customers themselves some people gamble thinking that winning is easy, and that’s one of the things that makes it hard for them to break free from gambling. Any kind of misguided thinking like that can drive them to gamble again even though they know the outcome will be a loss but clearly, it’s those who misunderstand gambling that are the problem.

The reply is simple, addiction. They're already stuck in it that they cannot control themselves anymore, even quitting doesn't seem possible since to them, they cannot do without gambling.

I always say that when you've come to that extent that you're consistently chasing loses without being able to control your emotions, then you should quit until you're able to heal from responsibility and reorient yourself towards gambling so as to be able to control your emotions better, maintain your discipline and approach gambling with a budget.

That's right. A severe gambling addiction developed, forcing a person to return again and again. I was one of those addicts myself. But what is it, really? It's a struggle with oneself. It's a battle that takes place in the mind. Some arguments prevail over others. Rational thinking should convey the correct information and facts.

After spending many years trying to overcome it, it was hard for me to look at those who hadn't yet done so. They hadn't realized their situation and the pain they were causing their loved ones.

The already incurred loss is the reason for not being able to quit.

Being able to forget that loss is an impossible task in the early phase, but becomes easier with time. With the casino machine in front of you with a chance to win it back the immediate urge is to continue playing than to stop.

Some people get lucky and win big in short term but most will keep losing over the long term. Quitting is a hero move here.

There is a valid point to both of you, and the truth is in the middle. It is influenced by personal responsibility since most gamblers lose their grip because of false hopes of winning. Meanwhile, gambling machines are developed to make individuals addicted to gambling by letting them win little and anticipating all the time. This complicates the ability to be disciplined in practice. The actual problem is the human psychology combined with system design. It is not that easy to win and believing that it is usually results in losings and this is why it is important to know when to cease.

If you lose much in gambling and you see it is not something you can afford any longer, there is no need to continue gambling because you definitely need to quit. If you find it difficult, it means you seriously need help. However, if you are gambling with an amount that you can afford to lose, it is expected that losses might be more.

But even if you are gambling with an amount that you can't afford to lose and losses are becoming very unbearable, the best thing is to take a break because the truth is that you can't continue with such an outcome. Quitting is a great move indeed.

There is no benefit in chasing after losses, which you are right about what you said earlier, but gamblers already had the mentality that the only to win in  gambling is just to chase after losses, which has made so many of them to go astray because they can't be able to resist the urge. Which is why its essential for them to take U-turn of doing the right thing in gambling, that is to say that they need to understand that gambling is not a place to make quick money or a place where one can double their money.

[LUCKMCFLY]

First things first is to actually know how to control your anger and emotions because that's what makes the whole difference when it comes to gambling, there might be situations when you might have planned how everything will work out and also the amount of money that you would want to spend or use but everything will just change in a matter of time the moment you let your emotions kick in and clouds your judgement.

That's something we all need to understand when we gamble, there's no other way That's why mistakes are often not an option Sometimes we stop gambling because we understand that gambling is a service in reality. I've always said that gambling in casinos is an adult service, and that's why we regularly gamble, bet, have fun, and then accept the outcome There's nothing different, it will always be the same.

[nara1892]

Most gamblers, especially those who are addicted, are aware that losing is more common than winning, they have even experienced it, but that is not something that is useful to be used as a reason to stop completely, remember that everyone has high hopes and confidence, they always think that by trying it one more time they will win and even though the result is still a loss, they will still continue to try with the same assumptions and hopes, that is how gambling drains the gamblers' money, playing with hopes by showing everything that is tempting.

The note is that as long as they have experienced victory they will continue to have hope to win, they will never stop until their money runs out, even though defeat continues to come to them, and yes, addicted people will definitely continue to gamble because they have experienced victory.
Different story with those who never win at all, their hopes must be destroyed, maybe they feel gambling is not suitable for them.

Well, that's right, the point is that gamblers like that will most likely only stop when all their money is gone because there is nothing else they can do but reject their desire to play, you are also right that as long as there is a win then as long as they will keep playing, I have experienced a situation where I also always imagine winning when I am experiencing a losing streak and that makes me come back to play with the same hope and enthusiasm but in the end the results are still disappointing, so our thoughts do have a very big influence on change, if for example we can reject the shadow of winning then it seems like stopping playing will not be too difficult.

It is true, and now you only have to consider the betting fee as an entrance ticket to a thrilling sensation which you cannot experience in other places. When we have a clue about the idea of such service, then we will not be surprised anymore by the final result, who wins and who loses, it is a package. Well established gamblers do not complain much as they are already aware of the rules of the game initially. The key factor is remaining sane and entertaining.

If people who engage themselves in gambling have the idea or the mindset that chasing after loss is just to suffer themselves or torture themselves, which will deprived them of their peace of mind just as you highlighted, the better for them because they will be able to take the right step by making or doing the necessary adjustments just for them to gamble responsibly by setting up budget for their gambling and also have the ability to control their emotions, which will not cause them pains and regrets.

It's hope that keeps someone gambling, hoping to win and repeat previous wins. That's what actually keeps us playing and losing control until our bankroll is gone.
I've been in that situation myself, constantly depositing money in the hope of winning and getting my money back, but in reality, it only drains my bankroll. Although I sometimes experience these signs while gambling, I have to take a firm stance to prevent a similar situation from happening again, and it usually happens when I gamble too seriously.

[finaleshot2016]

Without doing any research I can actually say that gamblers that are benefiting from gamble in aspect of winning their bet are lower than the gamblers that are losing their bet because there's no guarantee to win any game except the gambler is lucky, which makes me believe that losers are more than the winners. If you observe properly, we could notice that the gambers that are winning their bet are likely gambling for entertainment (am not sure actually, probably not all of them), meanwhile those gamblers that are losing their bet are desperately gambling to make money through it. Even after multiple trials and no positive results, why not quit?.

What really made me create this thread is because I still can't figure out why people who lose often can't quite gambling or take a break even when they know that they can't win to recover their money.

Maybe they are already addicted to it and chasing its dopamine that it gives to people. Well, we have different reasons, some are just purely entertainment and winning is just a bonus for their gambling journey while others are already gambling addicted which is the worst case of all. That's also a question of mine, why do people keep doing things that doesn't really benefit them, are they really hoping that someday they might win? Some people's minds are just broken, they can't think well, it's like same point when the corruption in our country is daylight robbery but people are still blind and voting the same politicians who are behind it, same thing to gambling here, people are addicted even though this isn't beneficial. I think education is really an important thing here, educated persons will stop if they've noticed a single issue to it, people who don't want to live in a cycle.

You are right in what you say, but no matter how many times we remind those who like to chase their losses in gambling, they will still do it again and again until they themselves realize that it is not a good habit to make as gamblers. Although I admit that most casino players only have the desire or intention to win.

Maybe if I were given the opportunity to have a one-time big shot winning here in gambling where I win millions of dollars, I would really quit even if it was just $1m and I would be happy.
I am not the type of person who desires too much

Ironically, most of people do not see quitting gambling as an heroic thing to do to gamblers who are losing money constantly on their favorite casinos, as a matter of fact, other gamblers encourage their peer to continue gambling until they get lucky enough to recover their money.

Anyone who quits gambling after losing money is viewing as a loser, the only way for a gambler to be a hero was to leave the casino with millions of dollars in their pockets.

It is no surprise that gambling will always have financial repercussions in your life so make sure you know what you're getting into when you decide to gamble. Because we already know the reality in gambling and yet we discard its impact. And then afterwards, we regret what we've done. But it is ourselves that we should blame here.

Truly if you look back to see how much money you have lost, you won't take quit as an option rather you will be hoping to recover your Lost before making use of the quit option, but hoping to recover from our past loses is just like giving ourself false hope because there's no way we can recover from all our past loses unless Those who are just starting recently which most of them might even find it hard to recover the little money they lost from gambling not to talk of someone who has been gambling for decade, honestly if I'm this set of gamblers I think I will just let it go because there's no way I can recover all the loses I incur in those years.

If you fall into the trap of trying to chase your losses, you'll end up losing everything and then some. What I’ve noticed in the games I usually play is that there are certain times of the day when they tend to pay out. I start, play for a bit, and see: if it starts paying out, I keep going, if not, I save it for later. This has generally worked for me. These games pay out pretty fast, if you start playing and hit a prize within a few spins, it means they're in a payout cycle. I also set a goal, and once I hit it, I simply walk away.

It is not about winning alone, quitting is also very hard for gamblers that are looking for opportunity to stay in profit, at least they can make huge profits through gambling for them one day even if profits are not coming yet. Gamblers should be to face any unfavorable outcome that will emanate from gambling aince the result with be hard to get the real outcome.

It is not that easy to win and believing that it is usually results in losings and this is why it is important to know when to cease.

But winning at gambling isn’t entirely a myth, because there are indeed wins to be had it’s just that they’re unpredictable. The problem is that some people force themselves to chase those wins by continuing to bet, even though the risk of losing is greater than the chance of winning. The fault lies with the players themselves for having too much hope, in my opinion, because if you look at the reality that casinos offer low odds of winning with a higher chance of losing it seems everyone realizes this, even those who don’t gamble. But because they place such high hopes on it, they chase after the win. They’re aware of the risks but prioritize their desire to win, so they don’t know when to stop.

Yes that's the thing gambler should be able to withstand whatever outcome they see from gambling and this is only possible when they gamble with what they can afford to lose. When a gambler makes the mistakes of gambling with more than what they can afford to lose , all there hopes will be very high with much expectations of winning. Gambling is a game of luck and no gambler can be lucky to be winning at all times.
