Applying patience and self-control in everything we are doing is necessary and also important, it helps to do things the expected way, there is more benefits to being patient in gambling and also having the ability of self control so that things will be done accordingly, the responsible Gambler will not find it difficult to achieve all this, but those that Gamble without being considerate to the consequences in any step taken will always find it difficult to achieve self control due to lack of patience.

When question like this is asked, it means the purpose of gambling is not for fun but for profit making because there is no way someone who is gambling for fun would asked such question. You don't have to be patient of it is for and you don't have to stop if it is for fun but if it is for income purpose or profit oriented. You will like to wait patiently to win back your losses but that has been a nightmare for many gamblers. By the way, all what you have to do is to discipline and gamble responsible.

Sometimes that’s exactly what such a statement can mean, but there is also the possibility of someone who is gambling for fun to fall into a gambling problem, as they can get addicted to it just as gamers can also fall into addiction while playing non-monetary profit games, and the only way for them to get out of that addiction will be for them to either stop playing or seek alternative options that might be helpful to them depending on their level of addiction.

Patience and control are probably something you can learn. But to do so, you'd need to build a whole system, encompassing many elements—from risk management and philosophy to guidelines on which games you should actually play. Again, if you're gambling "for fun," there's no need to build such a system; it's pointless. Only if you have long-term plans for making money from gambling should you consider it. Patience isn't a problem if there's something worth enduring for. The problem is that sometimes it's pointless.

Actually for those with the intention of making money from gambling patience, and control are two paramount things, and for you to exercise control in your gambling journey, how you manage your time, and money is another key factor. You should be able to gain control on the time you gamble, which means you have to make out time for other activities, and not giving your whole time to gambling.
A gambler with full control should also manage his fund very well by managing your bankroll, control your staking power, and ensuring discipline always in your bankroll.
Furthermore, patience is what gives you courage to ensure losses, and envisage big win, but if you lack patience, and you quit early, you will likely miss the opportunity of big wins.

Is it possible to learn patience and control with gambling, or is stopping the only choice?

Yes, it's possible, but for some people it's better to just stop at once, because they can't control themselves at all. It's expected that people learn with their mistakes and avoid repeating them in the future, but it doesn't work like that for everyone. There are gamblers who continue to repeat the same disfunctional patterns, despite having already faced losses they couldn't afford. In those cases, they have to occupy their time with another practices which don't involve elements related to gambling, as they might work as triggers for addiction.

Patience is more of a trait than a skill. You lost patience because you became overconfident. You only kept your cool when you were losing but lost it when you were winning. So maybe you should work on your patience more before embarking on gambling again. How you live your personal life can have both advantages and disadvantages when it comes to your gambling.

When you practice more discipline, it reflects in your gambling. You should give yourself a plan and make sure you follow it. If you do that well, you will not lose control anymore. Focus on what you do during your wins. Take note of your actions. Be alert when you're winning. That would help.

Is it possible to learn patience and control with gambling, or is stopping the only choice?

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

It is very possible to learn both patience and control while gambling and first we have to start with risk management and one of the obvious reasons we lose in gambling is lack of patience and wanting to win big at all cost which isn't a good one.
There are people that do practice safe gambling, by gambling with only amount they can afford to lose, having a fixed principle they follow no matter what's going wrong and also practicing safe risk management.
There are people who gamble professionally and take gambling as a full them job and trust me, those set of people might even be living a very comfortable life off gambling and while there are those who see gambling as a means of making a very quick fund and it will be very difficult for people like that to lean patience and control as they work more on luck than skill.

So it is very possible to learn patience and control while gambling.

I will self control is one of the essential thing when it comes to  gambling. It’s not everyone who gamble  must stop totally, but everybody is supposed to set limit. If you can stick to your budget, and control your emotions it helps to reduce the chance of gambling becoming a serious problem. I agree with you that, after a big win or big loss it’s better to take a break. And After a win, greed  can make someone believe that every bet they play will enter. Then, when it comes to losses, frustration can push someone to chase after losses. Let us don’t forget that when a person has wisdom and discipline, gambling doesn’t still have guarantee, Because luck plays the major role. The best approach is to gamble only with money that you can afford to lose and always know when to stop.

When you gamble for long, you naturally begin to learn certain things that makes you a better gambler and patience and discipline are part of them. This is because you would have experienced some losses from games you trust the most and then come to the conclusion that nothing isbsure in gambling. Patience is also in the aspect of waiting for high probability games and not betting on any match just because you want to bet.

[alastantiger]

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.

It is better you learn discipline, patience and have self control before you start gambling as it becomes difficult to be able to do all this while you become a gambler. Gambling has destruction character that makes it impossible for you to think straight if you don't already have that in you, there are many people that had discipline in them before they started gambling but all that change the moment they started gambling but it will be difficult to find someone that became more disciplined after they started gambling that is why it is important for you to be self aware of all this before you get yourself into gambling.

It is indeed possible to learn patient and self control. Risk management also has a major role to make this possible. Once an individual was able to set the right amount for his bankroll, continue to stick on his betting limits and accept his losses without chasing losses, it will gradually help someone.

However, this does not always apply to everyone. It may be true that some people consistently follow their own strict rule, but it is all due to their personality. While other people who recently try this method will probably have a hard time, learning patience is more difficult because sometimes their emotions will take over.

I have seen most gambler comfort themselve by saying they have everything under control while chasing loss. I am no exception. We may preach responsible gambling however the casino system is designed to break our patience, lol. especially those who want to make gambling a source of income,,

Anyway, in my opinion some people might be able to master this system but for the rest, it is wisest to take a complete break for a while. I have been through both of these situations myself. And I personally know that taking a break make your brain work sharper.

If you can control yourself and participate in gambling, then it can definitely teach you both control and patience. But how many gamblers basically participate in gambling with patience and control. Maybe one or two can participate with patience and control in the beginning, but when he starts winning in gambling, he loses both patience and control and he thinks that maybe gambling is the only right time for him to get rich and he loses control and patience and starts betting everything to get rich very quickly, as a result, he loses everything and becomes bankrupt.

Patience is something that gambling seldom impart. When win is had, the interest to have more frequent win would appear. Overall greed supersedes common sense. In the ambition to become rich within a short time, the gambling money is usually spent on gambling. The best thing to do to avoid losing your savings is to avoid gambling. I believe gambling is must cut short to serious losses to any party.

It is very possible to learn patience and also control your gambling activities. I am a clear example of this. During my early days as a gambler, I got addicted, and with time, I had to withdraw. When I came back, I came with the mindset that gambling isn't something that I must do all the time and that I can simply just gamble for only a short time and take a break.

You just have to take it as something that isn't mandatory; some people think it is something that they must do every day, and that alone is dangerous.

First of all, you need to understand that self-control is meant to minimize the risk of losses, keep a gambler’s mental state stable when facing losses, and prevent them from chasing their losses.

Quitting is a last resort. You must learn to control your emotions, don’t let yourself get carried away just because you feel the moment is right to increase your bet. And it’s important to always use money from your gambling budget, in other words, money you’re prepared to lose, so it doesn’t turn into a more serious problem, even though losing will still be painful.

As for the final outcome of gambling, it has nothing to do with self control, it’s more about the luck you have at that moment. If you’re lucky, you’ll make a profit, but conversely, when you lose, it means luck isn’t on your side.

Gambling is a game of uncertainty though to the unpredictable nature of gambling game's, so for that reason no matter your patience or control, that can only lower your risks in terms of how much you will lose, but can not stop you from losing entirely, if you noticed that you have being losing constantly in recent time is advice that you just quite, too gambling for a while and then come back again to try your luck there is no guarantee you win but a least that safes you from losing continuesly

Sometimes that’s exactly what such a statement can mean, but there is also the possibility of someone who is gambling for fun to fall into a gambling problem, as they can get addicted to it just as gamers can also fall into addiction while playing non-monetary profit games, and the only way for them to get out of that addiction will be for them to either stop playing or seek alternative options that might be helpful to them depending on their level of addiction.

Of course, I'm sure that Those who are addicted to gamble today first had this intention of having fun or for entertainment sake. even though some started with the intention of making profit from gambling but even at that, they never thought nor imagine that they would become addicted to gamble someday but it is due to the fact that they are not discipline enough made them to fall into gambling problem. And one other things that made them to get into gambling problem is because they were too confident that even though they gamble continuously they will not get addicted.

[Makus]

Both are possible and the choice is yours to make as a gambler, you just have to choose between both of them because there are situations that might require you to stop gambling for good and this is something some gamblers need to work on because their issue isn't going to be solved by learning patience or self control, they just need to stop gambling totally, it is not easy but it is very possible but the problem is that people don't really know how to go about stopping gambling addiction, it is not something that can be stopped within a short period of time.

It is very much possible, all you have to do is to work on yourself, being patience and controlling your emotions can be carried out as long as you are determined to do so, having self control takes you to a greater heights because you will have to enjoy all that comes with it.

When you have a big win, the ability for you to control yourself and walking away with it or gamble a little then plan for the proper use of the money without wasting it  makes you a real gambler.

[stadus]

Patience and control can be learned through consistent gambling and various outcomes. But if you are into impulsive or compulsive gambling, where you can't resist every temptation and gambling urge, then its hard to learn patience and self-control, except if you change your mindset and attitude towards gambling so that you will gain better outcomes than just keep chasing losses and chasing instant gains.

Otherwise, if you stick to your own way, then the best option is to stop and leave gambling for good since you can't be flexible in gambling.
