Is it possible to learn patience and control with gambling, or is stopping...

Sometimes, its not the losing streak that will make you lose big from gambling, but its the sudden winning streak that will change your mindset and become overconfident that you will continue to win in the next bet. With this, reality is you haven't develop yet the real art of patience and self-control in gambling, otherwise you should have stop gambling when you win a significant amount.

Everything in gambling can be learned in time, and patience and self-control are never an exception. You will develop more patience and self-control after winning and losing streak exposures, because slowly you will learn the pattern in gambling.

Just imagine if every gambler has resort into quitting gambling after experiencing losing from their bets, then most likely we would not hear successful stories nowadays about professional and successful gamblers. Even those who have won jackpot from lottery are considered patient gamblers since most of those winners have started betting already 10-20 years ago, except for those who hit jackpot on their first bet.

So its clear that patience and control in gambling are learned along with time. They don't appear overnight, but they are gradually learned in due time.

Do you frequently go through periods of patience and control followed by eventually "losing it?" Is completely stopping the only real choice?

It happened to me several times; it's the temptation at work, thinking that we could extend our winning streak or recover all our losses, or that there's a chance to win. For you not to be in this kind of scenario, you have to be totally in control of what you're doing you slip up, you're done.
We slip into this scenario out of nowhere, and we can't blame ourselves because gambling is a game of uncertainty and excitement.

Patience and self-control are very important in gambling if you do not learn which means that your gambling becomes uncontrollable, which at first can win and then eventually lose because of excessive ambition.

It's all because your self-control is no longer controlled --- the choice to stop completely from gambling depends on you, whether it has started badly to real life like a family damaged by gambling, finances are bad because they are often spent on gambling, it's all you yourself who can do it stop or not.

The last several days all/most of my play has been controlled and for very small amounts. It was fun and could have lasted much longer. Then, when winning nicely, I lost patience and over-bet quickly losing both some money and the fun, responsible times I had been having recently.

Gambling requires a lot of patience and self-control. When you expect very little money in gambling, you can trust yourself. And when you increase the amount of bet, you will fall into loss. And later use double money because to recover that money. The main reason why you lose patience is because you become bored with low income. So you is planning to increase the bet amount. But if you are 1st step in gambling, then it is better to quit gambling. If gambling for a long time, then try to reduce the time gradually.

I often see some players simply win a few times by accident and think it will last forever, but when they start losing, they still convince themselves they'll quickly recoup their losses. It's not that their emotions are driving them, but that they're not controlling their emotions, and that's the whole problem. Until players understand this and start taking effective steps to achieve it, everything else is simply useless. Because even if they learn a lot, like risk management, it won't help them win more, because at some point they'll lose control and bet everything, and after a few tries, this will lead to complete failure.

Normal I would say, but self control is one true virtue that can hold you back as a gambler.

There is the excitement stage, the over zealous stage, a time when your winnings makes you feel on top of the world and you just want to fly higher. Lol it happens to me a lot then but of course you end up learning the hard way.

When you have self control, and discipline, you will be able to tell your that your next move is wrong and then you have to stop a bit. Some gamblers even after protecting their money like you did here will blow it all out in one game.

It's possible to learn patience & control, and stopping should always be one of the options...

I think that many people, especially new players, put all gambling games in the same basket, but that's wrong. It's not the same when we play slots, luck-based games, bet on sports, or maybe play poker... We don't have the same control, and being patient with slots and while playing poker are two different universes...

Is completely stopping the only real choice?

Of course not... we can always try once again. We can decide to push to the maximum...

If you want to maintain self-control while gambling and protect yourself from big losses, then you must gamble patiently and disciplinedly. If you do not take the time to make the right decision after winning money, then you will face losses quickly because making quick decisions increases the chances of making mistakes, as a result, you cannot control your greed or emotions, as a result, you lose self-control and gamble aggressively and face big financial losses. Therefore, patience and self-control are very important to manage gambling with discipline.

The issue here isn't that you weren't responsible about your gambling habits, coz for several days like you described you were in control..It rather was the inability to maintain that your control and discipline when winning came.. And that lack of control is what many gambler s usually struggle with.. The point here is that control can patience can actually be leant while gambling.. In your case now you probably have learnt some lesson and next time it will be a little bit more different and after that, there will also be differences to show that you are actually learning... But then again in case where folks have gotten too addicted, the better alternative would be to stop altogether coz if they continue going they may end up with suicidal thoughts after they must have lost everything they have..

[Bryan jessy]

Stopping when you feel overwhelming and uncontrollable is very necessary but if you can control yourself from going overboard then stopping will not be a chance, in gambling self control is all you need to play smart because without self control a gambler can become addicted and may lost so much money,  though patient is not that mandatory as self control put it's one of the required features that must be possessed, so instead of quitting self control should be practice from the start.

Stopping gambling completely is a choice you really have to make if you realize that you can't control your gambling, but also can't fix it. 

Learning patience and trying to control yourself is only for those who might be considered addicted but not severely. Sometimes you can still manage, but other times you lose control. It could also be influenced by several factors, like your mood, or even the effect of drinks.

Having control over your self in gambling is very important because of the person don’t have self control it will be very difficult to handle the gambling, as we all know that the gambling is involved of so many risks that is why is very good to learn the patience and the control to avoid you from losing so money whenever you try to bet.


Another thing that gambler need to know about the gambling is that if someone is losing in gambling the best thing to do is for him to step down and look for any other thing doing then keep wasting his money on gambling, because losing a lots of money is what is leading most of people to get addicted to gambling quickly.

If gambling has already become your addiction then you should stop gambling and take a long break but if you are thinking about controlling yourself from the beginning of gambling then it is definitely possible to learn patience and control yourself. When someone gambles regularly and thinks seriously about gambling then they gradually go out of their control and fall into a deep addiction. Which later does not allow them to control themselves in any way. Emotions increase and you will be more panicked to recover the more you lose. And because of that you will not be able to learn anything at that time but only face losses

It's very possible to have control over your betting habit, trying to stop entirely is not the ultimate,but having self control will go a long way ,there are some policy I have used and it's helping me, whenever you win ,take a break and use your money wisely,when one is on losing streak,you still need to take a break as not to gamble with all you have ,one need to be patience and be careful with your dealings as not to lose everything, including the fun and your win , gambling only need wisdom and to be careful with how you operate on it .

It is, as some did it already. However for some, stopping entirely is an ultimate solution for their issues. We still need to try if we are on the beginning of a possible addiction. We should not underestimate baby steps, as like you said there (it goes a long way). On to your policy right there, saying ' to use money wisely ' should still be fine to continue gambling but only play moderately.

Although I'm aware that some can take a temporary exclusion and even spend their money recklessly outside. For them, it does not make sense if their winnings will only return to gambling even if that means that they only have an extended period of having fun.

In my experience, control is something that you have at the start and when you're in the middle of an addiction it feels a hundred times harder to do. For some, there is that breaking point where a switch flips and they realize what a dumb thing they're doing - whether with alcohol, drugs, gambling, smoking or any other habit forming action. At that point they have to take a long windy path back to normality because they've built up an existence around doing certain things and having trigger points that cause them to do that. You have to be hyper aware and completely stop if you want to break that addiction, but most people would not have the willpower to do this while still dipping back into the activity they crave so much. Remember that the thing leading people into addiction often gave and may even still give them happy feelings, or numb some kind of pain.

A great way to develop self-control is to do things that make you uncomfortable—especially when you know you tend to lack control in those areas. Of course, this doesn't apply to everything, and often it is better to stop, but if you don't try, you won't know if you are capable.

Gambling is a game people need to be very conscious about, especially when winning, because when winning, gambling seems easy, and it normally looks like winning is a result of your skill and understanding. But good understanding is very important; it makes one realize that gambling is a game of luck, and when one is winning, it doesn't trigger one to keep gambling to chase more wins, thinking gambling is easy to win. Understanding gambling gives one the reason to be patient and also to have self-control, but when there is no understanding, you just have to gamble based on your own mindset.

Controlling our greed during gambling is quite hard; at the beginning you have to apply your patience, but don't expect it to last much longer anyway. I am not saying there are not patient gamblers, but the quantity would be very small. In gambling, patience and controlling yourself don't mean you will be a winner, but I admit that they will reduce the losers and manage the risk.

For me, really, I don't have patience during gambling. Sometimes I get some free money from a gambling platform to test, but I really don't have enough patience to gamble longer. Although I never win at the end of the day, I still do. At the end of the day, I also can't control my patience. After losing my money, I thought about depositing more to recover, but eventually my brain didn't allow me to do so. That's why I really dislike gambling with my money, because I rarely win.

The trick is to just adjust your brain like you do not have more. That means, when I deposit 50 bucks, then I tell myself that is all I have, while I know that I have more, that is all I say and then I have pushed my brain to thinking that I would not add more because I can't add more. This is very tough, and not easy, and took me a year to get there, but this way, even if you have more money, your brain thinks there is none, and you just avoid putting more in the casino and won't lose more.

I may sound too dramatical but out of practice, I made it possible to trick my mind. I mean, I am suggesting this only from my own experience and not sharing what I just come across on social media. Human brain is too powerful than we could image and this is why a bike rider can easily drive a car even what their leg do with bike but hand takes over that in car.

To me every addition can actually be controlled, even gambling but first the addict has to outline his/her strengths and weaknesses, he has to also note triggers and inhibitors of the addiction, personally over the years i have mastered all my addictions by creating other things that would distract me occasionally from those addictions, i also try to avoid those triggers that will make me feel like doing those things that i want to stop or reduce. Gambling addiction can actually be controlled, to me i have learnt maturity in gambling, first i have understood that in gambling you must lose some and win some regardless of your carefulness so am not in a hurry to rush back and bet after a loss, i have also known that gambling shouldn’t be a primary source of income so lately i gamble occasionally knowing fully well that income is coming from other sources, i feel that any gambling addict should engage himself in other activities that would take his attention, that way he can minimize and control the number of times he gambles and suppress the urge.
