The main motive and personal attitude of a gambler towards gambling, it greatly influence the gambler in gambling. When a responsible and emotionally controlled gambler loses money in gambling, he becomes more careful. And if necessary, he quits gambling at that moment. Again, when he wins big, he maintains a boundary despite the big win and does not cross that boundary in any way. Because he does not become greedy. Above all, he always keeps himself in under control and does that what is right.

But when an addicted gambler loses money while gambling, instead of stopping himself from gambling, he starts gambling with more money, thinking that he will make up for it in the next game. Thus, he continues to gamble by emotion. And he gets more deeply involved in gambling, and does not stop until he loses everything. Again, an addicted gambler when win a big, then he becomes extremely greedy। he thinks that every game will bring him victory, thus he keeps gambling uncontrollably and slowly starts losing until he finally loses everything.

So the main thing in gambling is the type of attitude towards gambling, one's personal attitude and main motive. Those who gamble only to make money always fall into addiction. Therefore, every gambler should see gambling only as a form of entertainment and always gamble with the right guidelines, good attitude and self-control, create a certain limit, gamble only with the money that you are ready to lose. Otherwise, it will put you in a dangerous cycle where you will lose everything.

So in summary. It’s a decision and a choice that’s solely dependent on the individual and their approach towards gambling. Gambling affects different people in different ways regarding their attitude towards it. How and addicted gambler sees this is completely different from how a responsible gambler does. A loss can make a responsible gambler to quit gambling forever and so can a win. While also having quite the opposite reaction on an addicted gambler, rather than making him to think of quitting, it could serve as some sort of motivation to keep pushing harder until he finally reaches his breaking point. Sometimes it could also be vis ver sa too, depending on the situation.

Yes and that action is only possible to be done by gamblers or people who are indeed able to make their bad experiences as a lesson, usually they have the principle that it is very stupid if they get stuck in the same hole again. And some other gamblers like you said that they let themselves stay stuck in the same hole, I am sure that it is a situation full of problems and pressure but they do not realize that as time goes by more disasters will come and they also do not realize that only they can overcome everything.

On the other hand, never think that other people will care about you when you experience a slump due to gambling that is done in the wrong way, so try to think again because as I said above that only you yourself can get you out of various disasters.

Most gamblers lose, very few win but they still do not stop gambling. If I remember correctly we had a topic about that too, people still go back to gambling after every loss. It sounds simple, but if everyone could give up gambling forever just because they lost, casinos would have a hard time surviving. As you said, gambling is addictive so even if lose, most people will come back for revenge or find another opportunity, it is not easy to give up gambling once you have gotten into it.


Your advice is very helpful, we should never gamble when we are desperate and need help but often people who fall into that situation will not be sober enough to realize that, that is why many people do not know when they became addicted to gambling. Easier said than done.

In my opinion, it is not necessarily guaranteed, those who are involved in debt or loans because of gambling will not necessarily avoid the game easily even though there is a possibility that the player can be slapped with defeat or lose a large amount of money and that makes him aware, but not a few players who are involved in debt or loans still continue to play again and again because they want to complete their desire to win.

In addition, we ourselves actually know how to protect ourselves, but what about those who borrow money to gamble? I think they don't care about themselves, because it is clear that the actions they take will only make it difficult for them in the future.

What about those who do it but don't love themselves as self excluding or banning yourself from a casino has not been proved useful nor effective in the majority of the cases. The reason is the person who is addicted even he has self excluded his account from the main casino he played, and he stayed without playing like 2 months, then if the urge to gamble come back he can easily go and register himself in another casino, this has been the majority of the cases and if you read gambling forums you will see a lot of people complaining of how not effective self exclusion is. While I do believe that is a heroic option, I need a more heroic option, the one where the person self excludes his self and ban every gambling website through some external software which someone else does the locking for him so he never comes back to play, at least in all his home devices and personal mobile phone/s.

I think that every person who has bad experiences and owes them to the game will avoid playing 100%, this is for their own good and it is something that is non-negotiable , I personally understand those players who ban themselves from the casinos as a way of protecting themselves and that has given a lot to talk about, but it is a heroic act because not everyone does it , some give themselves over to the addiction again and that's it, those who do it really Love themselves and that is Something that should be considered as an act of worthy example that it is Possible.

Actually you are right but I think a gambler with greedy mindset will not easily quit gambling forever. Let's check the damages that greed have caused in few gamblers then we would understand that a greedy gambler might not quit gambling easily. Mostly anytime he or she remembers how much they have lost, the gambler might still gamble because of the kind of believe that he have or because of his high rate of greed. Anytime the gambler remembers how much he lost he might consider gambling again because of this believe he have 👇🏼
A big win should be close...

A lose would be a good reason to quit gambling forever because there's a high chance that you might keep losing if you don't stop.. it's also very easy to get carried away by losses because you might be tempted to start chasing them by gambling more, this can result to more losses. Gambling is an addictive game and I wouldn't advice you to get involved in it when you are desperate or in need, it's a game of luck, you are not supposed to play and hope to solve your problems with it.. decist from gambling if you have limited funds that you can't risk losing.

To archive a goal can be easy when you write down your goals in a paper so that you don't forget it and you can also read and remember it every time. If one actually wants to make good use of the money they got from gambling, they can do so, unless if the person is a very irresponsible person who loves to live the live they can not even be able to sustain.

It's one thing to have plans and it's another thing to execute them when you have the opportunities you are looking for. A lot of people that have won millions from gambling and still lost a significant amount also had plans but greed is part of our nature as humans, our needs are insatiable, the more we win, the more wins we would try to get. Starting a business with gambling wins takes a lot of discipline. But your plans and strategies are quite good, setting aside little amounts of money can be a good way to keep yourself in check.

Good if you thinks like that, and I agree with you. Quitting gambling forever needs courage to say no to ourselves and not many people can do that.
Both choices can make us difficult to quit gambling because the will to continue playing gambling will always be there and only with strong control into ourselves that can prevent us from come back to gambling. We see that if we playing gambling for more, we can attracted to play gambling more and more which will not be good for us.
The chance to becomes addicted to gambling will be wide open so we must be able to say no to ourselves. That will not easy especially if we see an interesting offers from our favorite casino.

This is a good reason not to return to gambling, if emotions take over, then it is only for the benefit of the casino. If the player understands this, then he can make such a decision, or he can play for small money and learn to control himself, because uncontrolled emotions are not only harmful to gambling but also in other areas of life, so self-control is also important for family relationships. If gambling becomes a problem, then you need to take action, after all, there are more important things in life than gambling.

Neither of the choices you mentioned.

Choosing one means you're going to be addicted, why? Well it's very simple. If you win, you're going to be greedy, full of yourself thinking you could win again, much bigger, but in the reality, you'll experience the opposite, while if you loss, you're going to chase your losses. You're going to let your emotions dictate you on what you should do next, and the result would be chaos.

In short, the only reason that will make you quit gambling is by not trying it in the first place.

Much better to still be in control suck kind of emotion will allow you to make a right decision whenever you are in session, thinking that there are things that more important than gambling will allow you to prevent getting addicted and lose a lot, though it's  a case to case basis and depends or rely to a certain individuals on how they will carry and how they'll be able being responsible even they are participating in this kind of risk.

The decision about that always work if the person want it to or because of the reason that gambling has eat up so many people like a disease in the blood that no matter how much they won they would always run back to gambling, so for me I don't believe that winning $100'000k will stop someone from gambling and don't even be surprised that having such much will make them gamble more because I have a friend who think that way in gambling and he said if he should win up to $50k he would use all the money to gamble since is a huge money it will be easy to multiply it, so you can see how most gamblers think, that's why I cannot believe that somebody who won $100k will take a break for a while, however about quitting gambling I don't think I can quit gambling because I love sports and obviously that would always make someone to gamble sometimes but I can never become an addict and even if I win $1million I will still love gambling but I will not go above my limits.

It turns out that in any case, the player will come to one of these states, and it seems to me that saving the family is more important than winning 100k. Of course, the one who decided to leave the family can risk everything to quickly determine the result of winning or losing.

Even if we take statistics, it will not be a secret for anyone that there will be more losers, accordingly, I personally am not ready to risk my family, so my strategy will be long and small bets for a fun pastime. Figuratively speaking, I do not want to bet my entire deposit today on one match and find out the result, I do not need this.

When a person get a big win, not always this means he will quit gambling. With time, he will run out of that money. And I think this moment will happen rather quickly, because winner wont live the same life as he had before big win, and not many are ready to manage instant large amount of money. I can even say, that such person will definitely return back to gambling to catch another life changing chance.

Honestly speaking, $100,000 is a large amount for me to retire from gambling. Somehow maybe I will be able to start a good life. That's reason enough to quit gambling.
Now if it's for another reason, like something that's already destroying your family or yourself, that's enough of a reason to quit.

Because such things are no longer helpful to us, we should only go to those that can provide us with comfort and entertainment so that we don't
end up in a situation that won't turn out well.

That’s a good advice.
Sometimes when I find myself in such a situation that a huge sum comes into my account and I feel I should invest the money but can’t seem to come up with something meaningful to invest the money on, I’d just meet someone whom I know is pretty good with investments or business, and I’ll ask him what he would invest in, with such an amount of money if such enters his account and then I’ll carefully note his choices of investment, by the time I must’ve asked about 3 persons, I must’ve at least gotten at least 1 meaningful option and then I can proceed with it.
