Winning is hard, why not quit?

[fruktik]

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.

That's right. There's just one big "BUT." The person must want to get out of this situation themselves. They must understand that they're doing something wrong and that all of this has dire consequences. Without this realization, it's useless to try to persuade an addicted gambler to change themselves and their perspective. I had to go through a journey to this understanding. More precisely, I had to hit rock bottom, both morally and financially. It was vile and disgusting. I never imagined I could ever reach such rock bottom.

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.

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.

Many gamblers should be in that category of people who are still in gambling hoping to recover their loses and that is their main motivation to continue gambling which is to make money. There are others like me who have left that category and today we are gambling to entertain ourselves because there is no guarantee of wins in gambling. I'm not under pressure to quit gambling because I'm not desperate to make money from it, I like to win but it's no longer the major reason why I'm gambling now. I do wonder myself why people who have been gambling for many years to become very rich and they're not continues to gamble, if you've tried to become rich through gambling and it's not working out for years you should quit except you're addicted.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can's beat the house but instead the house will surely manipulates you when your aggressions already dominates you, and similar to what you said, use the amount that you can afford to let go, on that point of view it's easier to leave as you accept the fact that in gambling you can't always win but you can move forward and let go.

Chasing will just put yourself in a great danger, if you can't control your emotion this venue is not for you as it can suck every penny that you have if you failed to control your emotions.

I don't know how they do it but I am always here feeling like casinos are monitoring how every accounts on their platforms gambles, if you are aggressive they will know and that will be used against you, if you like to run easily there is a chance that you won't be winning anything, I have tried all I could and i am now at the junction of accepting gambling for what it is.

There is no desire for me to force my way anymore, I just gamble and let my luck decides what happens, and since I am also risking small money it doesn't matter anymore, my gambling activities have become lower than past years, I don't have the reason to gamble unless I missed gambling or there is a sport match that I believe something good will happen.

No one can beat the casino, if anyone feels otherwise it's because they are winning at the moment.

I do believe that self realization is one step closer to the help the person deserves, if they don't realize it on their own, the help that someone might offer to them will be futile because the addict doesn't have a conviction yet that tells them that they are addicted gamblers. It only gets noticed by them when they have already landed in a big mess that would take years to come out from it. I remember someone who shared a story here on the forum that they entered a long debt because of gambling addiction and from the estimate they made, their income would not even settle the debt in a year time.

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.

That's where it all lies, in the entertainment. Entertainment is everything, it's what we're looking for. We are people who usually seek something different, something outside the system. In the casino we can feel free, so free that sometimes we forget the value of money, and that's a bad thing because money is earned with our work, effort, sweat from our brow. That's the only thing we should be careful about, that's why we don't stop playing.

Yes, money is very valuable, nothing in excess is good, we gamble to enjoy entertainment. However, it is very important to do it within our means so that we can protect ourselves from excessive losses and enjoy the entertainment of gambling. When a gambler goes beyond his means while gambling, he will face financial and emotional losses. The chances of losing money through gambling can increase manifold by becoming overly involved in entertainment.

Even after multiple trials and no positive results, why not quit?.

They couldn't because of one thing: Hope!

Hope is the hook in gambling. It continues whispering to gamblers that if they didn't win today, they can win tomorrow. And truly, it has worked for some people, but it's a tiny few. This hope works with luck, as gamblers hope to be lucky one day. Indeed, it's possible, but with risks and tries, which makes them hooked.

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'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.

It's certainly because hope keeps people moving forward. Without hope, they won't want to gamble again, especially after experiencing a major loss. Hope, coupled with the shadow of a previous, exhilarating win, continues to haunt their minds, until they finally regain their enthusiasm to pursue victory.
You've also proven yourself that ultimately, the results are still disappointing. This must be avoided with a firm attitude, as you conveyed. Personally, I usually always think, "Luck isn't on my side today." That makes it easier for me to reconcile.
