Should a Gambler Stop Even if They are still winning?

[348Judah]

There are two things involved, we have a particular set of gamblers that don't see winning as something so important that they cannot do without, so the moment they are winning they don't even put mind on it like the way the concentrate with having fun when playing, while some will always take it a serious advantage upon themselves the moments they win and they cannot afford to lose, now if you fall under this second category as you think you can't miss out the opportunity you already got, then don't be greedy the moment you win and continue playing as you may ended up losing everything.

Gambling isn't a task that you must have a target before calling it a day. If you want to make sure that you reach your profit target before stopping, you might end up losing the little profit you have made. This is why some gamblers keep chasing their losses and not satisfied with the little profit they made because they expected to a profit target to be achieved. Profit isn't by our own power but by luck.

One should stop gambling when they are not getting the excitement even while gambling, they just feel nothing after the session, but it is hard to be the case because people will feel excited when they are winning some real money. So this is about time management and spend some time when you are bored then you will feel the thrill and move on to your sucking real life, never use gambling as an escape mechanism from your financial burden, which will cause you even more financial trouble.

Like they say the main emotion most gamblers battle with is greed . Greed , can come in two ways not knowing when to call it a day when they are winning and when they are losing . For instance when a folk is winning there’s this feeling that comes with which is FOMO . What if I continue winning as I continue betting or staking , or when they’re chasing after their losses too .

Most time it doesn’t ends well . The smartest thing you can do as a smart gambler, is to go with whatever profit you make whether big or small cause gambling shouldn’t be something that should be seen as way of getting out of poverty. But as entertainment that comes with the chances of winning or losing a bucks .

No i don't agree with you at all, the smart thing you can do is understand that gambling is just a damn game, a way to pass time and not to earn money.
If you win money, you simply get to play longer, that's all.
Greed comes from thinking you can get rich by gambling.

We are literally saying same thing . But I won’t advise anyone to keep going after winning , the reason why is that we are all human and we are emotional beings. So our emotions can overwhelm at any given time . So for instance a gambler with the mindset of gambling being a means of entertainment. Risking $10 as the little money he can afford to lose and end up turning that $10 - $1000 with luck, and still he continues with some excitement of winning that big which such amount , end up losing $600 once . There will be change in his emotion he will become less exciting, and there’s when the thought of regret will comes in , which will increase the chance of him wanting to get back his losses which will lead to revenge gambling. Best you can whenever you lose or win call it a day , because even too much entertainment can be harmful too , so play safely .

Psychologically, you won't and it won't be easy. I mean, you're winning and your mind will be fixated that it will continue and if it does you'll just go with the flow of things. On the second question, I think it comes down on how discipline you are as a gambler. If you have a target for a day, you'll abide and stick on that not because you think luck is on your side. People tend to ignore it most of the time only to have it all lost at the end of the day.

The most demanding and challenging part of gambling is the discipline of it. Gambling is psychologically tricky and if you do not guide your mind from controlling yourself during gambling, you will end up draining yourself with the gambling addiction because you are winning. My advise always would be put yourself on check because it is a litmus test many people will battle to survive, including myself. I will fail the test 100 times and it’s why I am critical about someone who wins continuously during gambling.

For sure, continuous wins, though not always possible, gives the bettor the mindset to always keep playing, but I don't advice that.

This is what I do. If I win, then out of my winning, I take out some part of it for more gambling while keeping the other ones safe and never to touch it even though I lose the one I have kept aside for betting more. Let's say, the sharing formula would look like,, out of the total win, I preserve 80% and then put up just 20%, sometimes lower than that. So at the end, so long as I have won before, am sure that I must be at the winning side.. I can't make the mistake of loosing all I have previously won again back to gambling. No way.

[CryptoBuds]

Once you get to your profit target of the day will you stop or continue betting just because luck is on your side at that moment?

Yes, I stop. I think one reason why it's difficult to stop during winning streak is that we become overly confident in our own decision. Winning few bet makes it feel like I've got good grasp of the game and that chance of winning further remain high. However, few previous win do not make subsequent bets profitable. In casino game each independent outcome is separate from previous result.

what can really make you to quit gambling when you’re still winning?

Actually I don't just set any profit target. Along with this, I also set time limit and maximum loss limit in advance. I close app once my limit is reached. Also I move balance elsewhere, and I don't make any deposits that day.

[Mpamaegbu]

For me, gambling shouldn’t reach the point where you cannot walk away from it.

Yes, but not when one is winning. You don't change a winning team in the middle of a game. I will see anyone who walks away when they're winning as being fearful and too careful for nothing.

So this question goes to the house:  what can really make you to quit gambling when you’re still winning?

Nothing will make me quit while I'm still winning. What for? The essence of gambling is to make money, and if I'm making money gambling; while should I quit? It doesn't sound logical.

Once you get to your profit target of the day will you stop or continue betting just because luck is on your side at that moment?

Taking a break for the day after a fruitful betting engagement isn't the same thing as quitting after winning. It's good to have a target, and when that target is reached; one should ease off and wait for the next day. I support that.

1. Once you have achieved your profit target:  One of the important things that every gambler has in mind before they start gambling is a profit target. So I think that reaching your target for that day is more than enough reason to stop. Just because you’re winning constantly doesn’t mean that your next bet will come with another win, so why taking the risk of losing what you have won?

That’s good advice, but from a rational standpoint, I think setting a winning target can also be disastrous. Why? Because we never know when a win will come or how many wins there will be in that session. Simply put, if the total turns out to be less than your target, this can trigger greed and end up with you losing everything. So, in my opinion, it’s more effective to be satisfied with the first win, no matter the amount.

2. When feeling overconfident:  When you start winning multiple bets repeatedly it is possible that you can start feeling like you’ve understand the game. At this point you might want to be careful. You might become overconfident and start taking risks that you would not make on a normal day.

This often triggers various impulsive actions and leads gamblers to experience strong emotions and regret, so it is very important to remain aware of and understand what gambling actually is and how it works.

3. When you are unable to control yourself:  If a gambler get to a point where they feel they need to keep playing just because he or she want to win more even when you know that it’s time to stop, I think that’s something you need to pay attention to. For me, gambling shouldn’t reach the point where you cannot walk away from it.

Usually, this has already reached the level of chronic addiction, when a person can no longer go even a moment without gambling, it is clear that their obsession with winning is extremely strong. This is the stage at which a person has already developed financial problems, such as being deep in debt.

This is why some gamblers keep chasing their losses and not satisfied with the little profit they made because they expected to a profit target to be achieved. Profit isn't by our own power but by luck.

Gambling is a task for many that is why they don't stop  until they loss all their money, gambling is not a job or investment that we usually set a target or even task ourselves to get to a certain point. gambling is full of uncertainty for that it is very hard for one to set a target. I could remember the other time I decided to do rollover for 5 times just to test my ability, funny enough it didn't work although the first and second went successful, I failed the third time. so whoever that is setting target in gamble should know that there's no guarantee that things will go as planned.

So I think that reaching your target for that day is more than enough reason to stop. Just because you’re winning constantly doesn’t mean that your next bet will come with another win, so why taking the risk of losing what you have won?

First of all, I think that having a target when gambling can be very misleading because it's not an investment or a source of income that you can get a guaranteed profit from. The problem actually starts from setting a target because it makes a lot of have unrealistic expectations and some cases most gamblers can end up chasing until they reach the target they have set, in some cases this makes them gamble excessively.

2. When feeling overconfident:  When you start winning multiple bets repeatedly it is possible that you can start feeling like you’ve understand the game. At this point you might want to be careful. You might become overconfident and start taking risks that you would not make on a normal day.

Overconfidence in gambling is common among gamblers that get lucky a few times especially when they are having a winning streak, this makes them assume that they can always make profits. The right mentality to have as a gambler is to be very careful when you are winning because when wins starts coming there is always going to be losses around the corner.

[Floxynice]

I have gone through most of the replies, and I must say that it is much easier for anyone to give advice, but when they find themselves in a similar situation, it becomes difficult for them to practise what they say.

It is more difficult to quit after a losing streak than to stop gambling when winning. Winning is a very big motivation, and it requires great discipline to be able to stop when you are winning.

I think the problem with gambling starts from the very beginning, when no boundaries are set and gamblers just see it as a means of making money. If they can correct how they view gambling, the issue of self-control wouldn't have been a thing in the first place because every gambler would know how to regulate themselves.

[Rgram]

One should stop gambling when they are not getting the excitement even while gambling, they just feel nothing after the session, but it is hard to be the case because people will feel excited when they are winning some real money.

Both reasons do count as to why, you should stop gambling or rather, a gambling session. When you aren’t feeling the excitement from the games and when you’ve won a good some. Winning streaks do come to an end and when such a time comes, you must have lost some money, money that you would have rather preferred to keep. That’s no good news for gamblers. Ending the session helps you to keep what you’ve earned and doesn’t enrage you in the event that you’re not winning. Knowing that the loss would come at some point, that alone should make you stop while you’ve got the upper hand.

One thing I believe that most gamblers find it very difficult to do is knowing when to call it a quit, most especially when things are going smoothly at that particular moment. Some gamblers find it more easier to walk away after a loss but when you are on a winning streak, you may feel tempted to keep on playing.

So here are some few things I believe all gamblers should bear in mind.

1. Once you have achieved your profit target:  One of the important things that every gambler has in mind before they start gambling is a profit target. So I think that reaching your target for that day is more than enough reason to stop. Just because you’re winning constantly doesn’t mean that your next bet will come with another win, so why taking the risk of losing what you have won?

2. When feeling overconfident:  When you start winning multiple bets repeatedly it is possible that you can start feeling like you’ve understand the game. At this point you might want to be careful. You might become overconfident and start taking risks that you would not make on a normal day.

3. When you are unable to control yourself:  If a gambler get to a point where they feel they need to keep playing just because he or she want to win more even when you know that it’s time to stop, I think that’s something you need to pay attention to. For me, gambling shouldn’t reach the point where you cannot walk away from it.

So in all what you do knowing when to walk away from gambling matters a lot.  I don’t see any good reason why anyone wants to lose money before they’ll decide to take a break from the game.

So this question goes to the house:  what can really make you to quit gambling when you’re still winning?

Once you get to your profit target of the day will you stop or continue betting just because luck is on your side at that moment?

You covered everything a person needs to understand... But when excitement takes over it's almost impossible to hear the voice of reason no matter how well you know what to do. Only self-control and discipline will work there and they don't come by themselves, they have to be built over time.

[OgNasty]

I'm a firm believer that a gambler should stop when it stops being fun.  Like with most things, when you start doing it for money instead of enjoyment it can turn ugly quickly.  This is why a lot of people quit doing things they enjoyed for years when earning an income starts playing a role.  That's the secret to life in general to be honest...  Do things for enjoyment and you'll live a much better life.  Once you take that miserable job for money or start sacrificing your happiness to chase an endless number, everything changes...

[leonair]

When a gambler starts winning, he forgets his limit and continues gambling without stopping, although it seems like a good move for him at that time, but continuing to gamble is the biggest mistake for him. If he keeps winning, it is a good thing for him, but there is a limit to winning. Gambling games are not such that they only allow a gambler to win. If he keeps losing, gamblers can get frustrated and stop gambling, but if he wins, it poses a bigger danger for a gambler. If someone keeps winning in gambling, he should definitely stop gambling without continuing to gamble, otherwise he will lose the amount of profit he made and he will also lose his own savings. Because every winning will make a gambler more emotional and greedy.

Having a profit target when gambling maybe in a day or more doesn’t really make sense because why set a target for a game which outcomes are very uncertain. What if you set a target for a day and you couldn’t meet up with that target that day, does that mean the gambler will still continue the next day until whenever the target is met? Setting target will do you no good than making you spend above your budget on gambling because you might never get the particular profit you’re chasing. It is better you stick to your budget, winning or not, so you don’t go above your budget, once you’ve gotten to your budget, then you stop.

What you said here are true, but a large majority of gambler sees gambling as a means of making money, so they tend to gamble with a target in mind, and if they are on a winning streak, just know that they will never call it a day because they will believe that it is their lucky day to finally hit a jackpot or win back all the money they have lost in the past, so I am not that surprised by most gamblers actions.

Stopping or calling it a day when am still winning is the right thing to do as a gambler, but it is very difficult to stop because greed an excitement may be at it peak that moment, so you will want to continue gambling, and hoping to win more.

So this question goes to the house:  what can really make you to quit gambling when you’re still winning?

The thought of lossing the winnings is the reason that can make me quit gambling whil I am still winning.  I believe we noticed how gambling platform can easily make us lose our winnings.   In slot, even if our bankroll becomes 5x of our initial deposit, a series of bonus buy losses can easily wipe out our winnings.

Once you get to your profit target of the day will you stop or continue betting just because luck is on your side at that moment?

Of course, hitting the profit target of the day will make me stop my gambling session.  I had achieved my goal, extended playing can only risk those winnings.

Honestly,it even sound funny when people say they can become a professional gambler,come to think of it,is it how enthusiastic they are concerning gambling that they’ve searched all the corners of the world and they didn’t find a career to become a professional in the field.The people who usually conceive this perspective of making profits through gambling are the ones that can go an extra mile just to achieve their gambling desire,and in the real world their desire doesn’t come true because the chances of winning in gambling isn’t something that comes all the time,so you must be ready emotionally to withstand the risk that comes from chasing profits in gambling.
