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.

[Fredomago]

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.

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.

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.

[nara1892]

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.

That's the crux of the problem, which is why gambling persists, especially for those who view gambling as a means of earning money, with high hopes of winning. Unfortunately, this tends to lead to a self-defeating cycle. Even if they occasionally win, if this hope persists, the gambling will continue. The difference is that some can control themselves and not place high expectations on gambling, while others cannot control themselves, including their thoughts.

That kind of mentality mostly lead a person to go deeper, instead of finding the entertainment or the enjoyment that at first they wanted to achieve, because of that believe that they'll be able to make it and earned decently, they fail to recognize the risk behind, once the engagement is too deep it's even harder to find ways to escape and stop, they just keep on trying and wanting to win either to recover or to earn whatever the reason they just keeps on trying to play more.

Tell me one single human being that does not hope for anything, even very ill persons hope for some prolonging of their life while most normal people hope of a better future and brighter days. The same can be said to gamblers as they normally hope for winning big and in the remote case they get it then they hope for it again or for another even more massive win. This is the problem why most people do not quit and continue fighting trying to get that massive win.

That's right, not that having hope for tomorrow is bad but everything should be done in a moderate way, whereby they won't be easily carried away by the sweetness or the bitterness of gambling, which can either lead them to addiction or cause them more harm than good in their lives and can lead them into having financial issues and should also be aware that gambling is based on luck, which is not everytime that one will be luck to win and there are times, one should also accept loss, because gambling is made up of both loss and profit.

Yeah, that's the reason for me too. I cannot stop gambling, not because I am addicted to it, but because I am afraid the entertainment factor of the sport that I love will drop, and I don't like that to happen. I still want to watch the games and be updated about it, and if it means I will have to gamble a bit of money so that I can get ecstatic to watch the game, and so I will.
We have different reasons why we gamble, winning is tough, but it ain't just that which it provides. There's also the pleasure of cheering for your favorite team while having some money on the line for them.

Yeah, it's good to have hope as it keeps one moving and know that some day everything will be find and okay to their satisfaction, even if its not everything but at least most of their problems will be solved. That is why people keep fighting and gamble, despite their losses they still continue to gamble, with the mindset to win big but that shouldn't make them to solely rely on gambling by making them to gamble recklessly, because the result of their actions won't be desirable.

Yes, money is very valuable, nothing in excess is good, we gamble to enjoy entertainment.

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.

Money is important, but if we start taking unrealistic risks for money, we will only end up losing more. If gambling is limited to entertainment and is done within our means, it is possible to control it, but when someone crosses the limit, it is no longer entertainment, it gradually starts to lead him to financial losses, which is why it then goes very deep into him. Those who face such financial losses, want to recover their losses by any means, which forces them to gamble more. And at that time it gradually becomes a cause of stress, anxiety and loss. That is why we must be prepared to control it in any way, this is the only way to avoid addiction and major losses.

[Swordsoffreedom]

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.

New gamblers or those who are addicted to gambling consider gambling as a way to earn money. Many people also gamble to recover their losses. A young brother I know from my area won $2900 from just $100 a few days ago while gambling. I did not know that he was so addicted to gambling. He is quite poor. $2900 is a quite big amount for him. He was lucky and won a big amount of money. But suddenly he became greedy. I do not know what happened to him  suddenly. After winning a big amount, he could not stop himself from  gambling. But he was eager to win more  money. And he gambled all night. And in the morning he lost the $2900 he had won. At the same time , he also lost his $100 too.

From this story I learned when I should stop. I consider myself  lucky that I can control myself. If I had won such a large amount, I would have turned off gambling like I  did that day and slept peacefully. I would give everyone two  suggestions, firstly, do not consider gambling as the only source of income. Secondly , do not be overly greedy.

You are right mate, but the other thing there's that some gamblers are very desperate for it, trust me some gamblers will really want to force themselves to win if it's possible but it's not. Such gamblers lose a lot of money and because of their losses they became desperate to win so that they can recover back their losses. Having a hope is not really bad but it can be very bad if you are hoping on something that is very difficult to get. Yes you might hope on someone and it will surely help because they have emotions, but when your hope is on gamble you will lose a lot because it's not designed to know our emotions or how much we have lost.

Yes you might hope on someone and it will surely help because they have emotions, but when your hope is on gamble you will lose a lot because it's not designed to know our emotions or how much we have lost.

Once you would be having that desperation then it would be that so hard for you to stop or quit gambling and thats where most gamblers do really failed on doing so and ending up on messing up their lives. So its important  that on the moment that you do gamble then make it sure that you wont be spending on the amount that you cant afford to lose. So it best that you do really know on how you would control yourself and be wary into the actions that you are taking so that you wont be ending up miserable. Usually learnings do only came from the end and thats something you must avoid as much as possible. Be wary and be responsible into your actions if you dont want to mess up. Winning is indeed hard but why not quit? Well, not all people would be only just that playing for the sake of money but there are still people who are really that playing for fun but of course we cant be able to deny that majority or all of gamblers are losers and the worst is that there are those who are addicted into it.

Gambling will basically be influenced by luck and luck will not be able to be controlled by anyone, whoever is lucky it is time.
But if they haven't gotten that lucky then more defeats will happen.

Casinos also have algorithms that they create to make profits, so the more profit the more advanced their casino business is.
Don't expect too much if you only gamble on a game like Slots, crash games and games that are based only on luck, because it has been regulated by the system as well.

If on a bet you may still have the opportunity to do an analysis, but it is not that easy and it depends on who is chosen.
All will be risky and gambling is hard, nothing is easy but some people don't give up and keep playing until they get their luck.
