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

[lovesmayfamilis]

People have different periods in their lives, and their behavior will naturally vary depending on their mood. Therefore, gambling behavior can also be different. Speaking about myself, I can say that during periods when I have enough free funds, I will be less attentive to my gaming behavior than when I have limited funds. But if there are people who do not know how to control their emotions, then it seems to me that a complete restriction from games will not help them either. Consultations with psychotherapists are necessary, and treatment is likely to protect oneself from accidental breakdowns.

It is completely normal to get trapped in this situation but for the most people stopping completely is the only way to fix the problem. When u start winning your brain gets too excited and you stop think clearly because of the excitement which makes impossible to stay carefull or controlled. If your good days always end with a big loss and a bad feeling so it means gambling will always be a dangerous trap for u . I think it is actually much easier to place 0 bets then to try and stop yourself after you start winning so walking away or giving space for good is not giving up it is a smart choice to save your money and protect your happiness.

You are right and everything you just started are very correct, but in my own opinion, its better for one to do the best thing that they know it will help them in gambling, especially concerning addiction which can deprived one's peace of mind and make them to indulge in spending their money unnecessary, that is why anyway they can help themselves, they should do it for the own benefit and that's a sign of strength, as it helps to protect their peace and their relationships.

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 definitely possible to control your addiction- that will be the time where you would recognize that gambling isn’t about making profit. It’s all about perspective- seeing it as a means of entertainment rather than for making money.

Most of my friends tend to gamble primarily and purely for profit. They would send multiple screenshots of their wins thinking that it is an infinite money glitch to be playing on gambling. The reality, however, is far different from what they’re experiencing given that they only share the times that they won, not the times that they have lost.

People have different periods in their lives, and their behavior will naturally vary depending on their mood. Therefore, gambling behavior can also be different.

This can be an interesting situation as well. Your present circumstances depend and force you to decide whether you should gamble or not on that particular date.

Personally, I find this kind of perspective to be better. Instead of gambling nonstop, force yourself to be in a situation where you have no choice but NOT to gamble at all.

Gambling addiction is very dangerous, so patience and self-control are very important to keep yourself free from gambling addiction. Greed through gambling completely destroys a gambler, so if we control our emotions and greed while gambling, we can protect ourselves from the big losses and addiction of gambling. When a gambler gambles with a certain amount of time and money from the beginning, the gambler will be able to maintain self-control over himself and protect himself from big financial losses, so it is good to gamble by setting a time and money limit.

How about situations where the problem player is unable to help himself? Such person always go down to be held on the shoulders of a third person who understands the problem of a brother or relative in trouble. These notion of individuals getting out of addiction all on their own is always unacceptable on the general notion of psychotherapy. Help as such, should be expected to be from the surrounding peeps of the troubled player, other than, from within himself, where the challenge comes from for the peeps willing to help a problem player is in getting him to oblige, which is quite accurate in saying he'd have to help himself in this aspect.

A gambler always needs to take proper steps against addiction, gambling can harm a gambler's mental peace, financial status or family relationships, it can create various problems on a person in different ways, so it is very necessary to take effective steps to stay away from it. But before that, you need to realize the issue of your addiction, and create the desire to get out of this addiction. Gambling addiction can never give you anything good, rather it can only lead you to a worse situation. So you have to gamble but first you have to ensure your own safety, maintain your financial limits, and so that the loss never exceeds your financial limits, you have to gamble, only with entertainment purposes.

What do you mean by stopping?  If you are talking about quitting entirely, then anything else does not matter, but if what you are saying is temporary, then it simply shows that the person has already learned to have patience and control with gambling.  That stopping temporarily is a clear evidence that the person has developed and learned control.  Waiting for several days to gamble again also shows patience. 

So the answer to your title is that it is very possible to learn patience and control with gambling.  We have seen several people in this forum exercising such activities.

I agree with you the first step in fighting against addiction is when you admit that you have a problem. If the person doesn’t accept it, it will be difficult for them to make any positive change no matter the advice that was given to him.  Responsible gambling starts when a person set  limit, and also respect those limits they set.  People are supposed to use money that they can afford to lose, don’t borrow money to gamble, don’t chase after losses and don’t see gambling as a way of solving your financial problem. Once gambling has start to affect your peace of mind, your relationship, or your daily  responsibilities, it’s a clear sign that it’s no longer entertainment. Gambling can only remain entertainment if the person has self control, but once greed and desperation enters, that’s where the danger start from. No amount of jackpot is worth losing your savings, your peace of mind or your relationship. The best approach is to know when to stop. Always put your responsibilities before gambling and take a break when necessary.

Learning is a continuous process and we have to keep learning in gambling so as to improve more and get better in everything we are doing, having the ability of controlling our emotion and self-discipline shows that we are not going to lack impatience as well even as we are gambling, sometimes with don't know that quitting is not the solution to some of the problem we are facing, because if a gambler should quit without adjusting in necessary areas, he may be depressed, or still go more worse than before in other things he does.

[Youngrebel]

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 .

This has to be one of the best things a gambler can do to avoid getting into much losses and also making profit in the long run, after  winning it is important to take a break from gambling, it doesn't really have to be a long break. Taking a break doesn't also apply to those that make profits but also those that are losing as well, this is actually more important because It is easier to get carried away by the thought of chasing losses which would definitely lead to more losses. After winning or losing you need some time to cool off.

Yes, you can learn patience and control, that is it you are in total control of the situation. Let's say you are in a losing streak, then it's better to stop as the game is not favoring you. If you push yourself then maybe you can lose more money.

Or just bet in small stake instead of going all in and when you lose then that's it. And we have a lot of tips on what we should be doing before gambling and we should just put that in mind and have self-discipline.

Self-control or self-awareness is what lead gambling and it also controls several factors especially if the gambler is very discipline. For a gambler to develop the mindset of being patience he or she must be smart enough to know when to quit gambling and focus on other productive or income generating work, gambling is fundamentally built on chance and can not determine one's destination or for them to achieve success at the end of the day. Some people act impulsively without even thinking of it outcomes and introduce problems into their lives at the end of the day.

[Woodie]

I don't think we are all born with these attributes of patience and control, for some you need someone to help you sharpen this skill and for other's they learn this skill themselves and its something that goes a long way beyond the boarders of gambling..it could help you avoid panic attacks, your blood pressure shooting up etcetera..Overall patience and control is something we all need to master because the benefits are plenty..

[Furious 7]

Maybe it depends on the purpose as well in my opinion, now if the person is gambling with the aim of getting a profit then there will be no patience or self-control in gambling because this is something that will be forgotten or indeed lost because with such a goal that is most likely to happen only gambling will be done blindly by ignoring the risk of loss in gambling which is potentially greater than the chance of winning.

You mean someone cannot be gamble for income earning from gambling and still be patient? Some of the successful gamblers that are making it in gambling apply patient to make their gambling to bring out positive results that will increase their financial status, we know that what is making many new gamblers to be happy is the fund they are making from gambling as a new gambler because they are seeing what professional gamblers told them, and even though loss appear in the future it will not make them to quit or stop gambling.

But things like this can only be counted on your fingers because try to think about how many gamblers have succeeded and compare them to those who have failed when making this as an initial goal.
There will always be gamblers who succeed when they gamble simply because they get a win but the comparison is too big compared to those who lose.

In addition, it does not matter when we expect victory but making victory as the initial goal when gambling for me still this is a mistake because until any time we will not get the victory we expect.

Sooner or later we will only feel defeat and that's for sure even if there is a small part of us gamblers who succeed but it is passed not smoothly because they must feel defeat that may even be equivalent before.

Self-control is one of the most difficult things to do in gambling. When a typical gambler starts gambling, he thinks that he will stop gambling when his bankroll runs out. But when a big return is missed due to a small mistake at the last moment in any bet, the gambler gradually starts getting addicted to gambling. Because then he starts thinking that he will not make such a mistake again. And later on, another mistake is made due to which he loses his bet again. In this way, the gambler cannot even tell when he becomes addicted to gambling due to repeated losses due to mistakes. So the most difficult thing in gambling is to maintain self-control.

[JunaidAzizi]

Yeah, that can be possible with gambling, but for it, you can test your abilities to see how much control you have. I know most of the users do the same, just like you mentioned, but they break all their limits when they find some good bets, and then their control goes. So, for this, practice in every activity of life. When you practice, you will learn how to control that in gambling. Remember, it's hard to acquire, but once you get it, then no one will stop you. Another tip is to tell your friend or your brother to watch over you, and whenever you exceed the limit, he can stop you. This will be the best option, I think, at the beginning.

[Churchillvv]

I’m a big fan of quitting when it comes to gambling, if you can’t control it anymore it’s best you take a break for the time being maybe when you know or believe you can control yourself again then you can go back like you did when it was all fun to you. The fact that you have tested the fun part of it by controlling your stakes and what you do around gambling is a good one you can do it again. Stop is not really the final option but quitting entirely when you know you can’t anymore is better.

You cannot learn patience by gambling. The more you gamble, the more you will like it because you will lose and then make a profit, which will make you very excited that you will benefit from it. I can control myself from gambling, but when I win often and my luck is good, I suddenly lose control and keep gambling. So if you feel that you are getting addicted to gambling, then stop gambling and take a long break. This will be a good decision.

[DiMarxist]

Whether you call it patience or even stopping totally from gambling one thing is important and that is having a limit to what you can gamble. Personally speaking quiting gambling is one thing that most people find it difficult to doing, and is not even an option to many in the gambling community. In all these discussions the most important thing am seeing from all the contributions is that, if a gambler can actually have a limit, in terms of having a no going points in his or her gambling activities then there will be no problem of gambling addiction related problems.

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

It really depends, and both will work for your benefit. The most important thing is you are on the safe side. If you can learn how to control and be a disciplined player, then that's good, but if you cannot and you think that you can fall into addiction, then stopping is the right thing to do.
No one should suffer from addiction, so take the necessary steps that you think you are capable of and comfortable doing; as long as you are safe, you are good.
