Lol, is normal my brother, like I said before is best you allow the money to be before you start thinking on what to do with it if not ones you have it in your possession you won't know what next to do. To me the best advise I'll give to those who happen to find themselves in this kind of situation, after being paid the money won from any kind of gambling first take some cash, but yourself a bottle or two and drink not drunk please then go back home and meet someone who you feel can give you the best advise on how or what to do with the money. Spill out your ideas and wait for his or her response.

If gamblers can not use gambling as a part of entertainment, they will lose their money and ruins their life. If they realize about that, they must quit gambling immediately before everything change and they can only regret. Many things happen to his life and from his gambling activity makes him to learned that he must not use gambling to have fun. Besides that, the chance for getting lose for more will be bigger than winning the games so he must realize and leave gambling. Gambling will gives more temptation for him where he will not realize if that can make him keep playing gambling and chase more winning. That can make him in trouble and the worst is getting lose all of the money he have.

Yes, it means we must first make a way before you spend your money, in the sense of considering by looking at various sides and situations to make maximum planning and after that when everything is neatly arranged then that's where you can spend money whether it's for gambling or whatever you want to do in life.
Basically planning will always go hand in hand with management, or what is meant by having a plan then most likely you will also have management especially in terms of finances.

On the other hand, yes I understand what you mean that managing gambling money is not easy, and one of the reasons why it is not easy is because the object of victory in gambling is money which of course greed and temptation to continue gambling in any situation are very likely to come to you at any time, therefore when you are involved in an activity that not only involves the chance of winning but also involves the risk of losing, try to maintain awareness in yourself so that all the actions you will take remain measurable.

This is absolutely true and I agree with you.
I believe this happens to almost everyone because it happens to me all the time. I may have lots of bright ideas of what to do or invest money one when I’m still yet to receive the money, and when the money eventually arrives, I don’t know if I’ll say the money also arrives with new ideas that’ll completely outshine or should I say illuminate the previous plans I had, and if I eventually start acting on those new plans, I may end up making wrong choices and probably after I've used up the funds, I may start remembering the previous plans . But if calm down to think very well first before starting to act, I may likely just recall the previous plans I had and then pursue to sort them.

Maybe for someone who is not too addicted they can stop more easily than those who are already heavily addicted, this is indeed real because in my opinion with those who are already addicted to gambling it is unlikely that they will be able to realize and stop in a short period of time, as you said with many factors that can attract him back to gambling so it is indeed not easy.
With those who are not yet heavily addicted they may easily stop gambling or indeed leave gambling by not extending their gambling session anymore when they have found the results that occur whether it is losing or winning.

Exactly. For an irresponsible gambler, $100k is nothing because they wouldn't be able to use it properly and will probably either gamble it back or use it on materialistic things that they would use for a while and then be back at point zero. However, if it's someone who is generally responsible with money, they wouldn't waste a large amount that they have won through gambling because they know what it's worth and what they can do with it if it is used in a proper way.

Someone can easily build a business with that amount and still have money left, the business doesn't need to be huge, you can start small and then scale it up over time when it starts earning you some revenue. That is how all these big firms and companies were built, their owners started from scratch and look where they have reached over time. It's all about that start.

I agree with you, honestly lack of planning doesn't help, that's why whenever any kind of money comes in weather is by gambling or not is best to allow the money to be for sometime because at that moment multiple ideas will be flowing through your mind and your won't know the one to settle for, that's why you also need good friends to put you in place in this kind of situation. The advise you get will be the best to help grow what ever business idea you want to engage in. But to top it all I believe there's a spirit that comes with gambling money that makes people fail on how to manage the money.

He himself does not know why people gradually get attracted to gambling, but he gets attracted to gambling out of curiosity from the environment, from the people of the environment, from the chat of friends, seeing his parents. But some time he realizes that gambling is going to harm his life terribly then he creates self-regret in himself and unknowingly he tries to stop himself from the harmful effects of gambling. But those who take gambling as entertainment can stop themselves from gambling at any time and under any circumstances.

When you're rich enough to gamble, it is not at all a big issue. You've got money; you spend as if you're spending on some entertainment. Whether you win or lose is secondary. You're enjoying it without any kind of pressure, as it doesn't affect your life at any point. The same can't be the scenario with everyone. Just think of a person who has the money for that particular day's need. With an expectation of winning little money, he had risked the money. Now he's under pressure that he needs to win. If lost, the entire family is going to suffer. Some might say without risking he cannot progress, which is true. Yes, one needs to risk to progress, and he needs to take risks in his profession and not in gambling, where the winnings were based on the luck and not on the skills.

If someone is not yet addicted, it is quite easy to quit. However, if you are already too deep, the tendency is to recover your losses before getting out. However, most won't recover as there are so many factors in play why you can't achieve such goal - house edge, luck, amount of bankroll, and other factors that won't guarantee you of winning.

The reason why I was Able to stop mine easily, was because I wasn't that deep in the addiction stuff. Because when I started playing casino game as a newbie , my mentality was all about getting rich quick through gambling and I saw it as a easy means of making money ( which is wrong) . So I literally continue with that mindset, and I was losing and winning and at then my winning was more than my losses .

Till I eventually went all out during a particular gambling section and Lose it all . Got to point of not having any extra funds to continue. So the only thing i could do was to stop before I ruin myself with that MINDSET of mine .

Thats why it will really be always important that you should really that knowing on what you've been doing on which it isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things that affects out finances specially on the moment that you've been spending it out on something worthless or really just that come to waste. If we do really tend to zoom out then we can really be able to tell that there would really be things which is far more worth than on dealing up with gambling. Gambling isnt really that literally bad since it is really that being created for the sake of fun and leisure. It did really just that turned out to be that destructive into peoples life just because of the things that people been doing or on how they do really treat it out on which it is really that some sort of money making thing and this what makes them desperate.

On the moment that you will really be able to make up some big wins then this is the moment that you will really be trying out to make more and this is where everything will really be starting to get messy specially on the moment or time that loses will really be keeping on piling up until you do lost your winnings including your capital or bankroll, the worst part on here is that on the moment it happens then you will be that trying out to deposit even more just because you do have some high hopes that you could be able to take it back which is really that make things get even more messier.

It seems to me that such a scenario is ideal for me. I would definitely start several businesses, and with the remaining money I would invest. Of course, I haven't thought about what businesses exactly, but definitely those that don't take up all my time and what I really like. In general, finding the business of a lifetime is a great plan.

And of course, I wouldn't leave sports betting as you said, but only with small stakes. Honestly, your plan would suit many, the most interesting thing is what businesses the players would open and the main thing is that small stakes would not suddenly turn into big ones that would destroy all our success.

True, without completely moving away there's always a chance that you'll try some luck and play back, so I agree that losing is not always the factor  though with a good realization that might trigger your attention that you always ends up losing money then finding different activities to keep you away from gambling may help you and lead you to changes things out.

And with winning huge amounts of money where you'll be able to finance your own business, that's a good reason as you'll also able to keep yourself busy working with your new activities..

Maybe this could really help a lot when that potential huge amount of winning money could divert into something which provides us profit gaining business. That's way too big amount of money to spend for gambling again and again, and I am wondering what if we could use that instant money for a new ways of earning that you don't need to expect for a luck. Reality will prove you how reliable could be a legit income compared to gambling your money out of nowhere.

Yes, that's true. I think winning a big multiplier will be the reason one of us will quit gambling. I mean, something that could change our lives and maybe go on and create a business where our minds will be busy and forget about gambling forever.
That's one of the things I am hoping for and I would certainly quit casino games and probably just bet for sports only because of my favorite team but I will still keep the bets minimal so that it would not stress me out even if I lose it.
Losing on the other hand is not a quitting recipe, we will always have that in our mind and I bet there will always the thought to try one more time just so to get the revenge that we want.

I guess we will never know or find true answer for OP question, because none of us was never really addicted to gambling. Or will never admit that. Right now, for everyone of us it isnt hard to quit, because gambling was never a problem for us. None of us ever bothered, have headache or felt a huge wish to drop everything and go gambling. We havent been on the «dark side» before. So its hard to name a really good reason to quit.

Whether to stop or not depends not on the amount of winnings, but on the person's ability to earn more elsewhere. It seems to me that it will be the other way around, if a player wins a large sum in gambling, he will return it again with the hope of winning again. But if a person has the opportunity to earn much more elsewhere, a good job in a high position or a profitable business, that is, the profit will be disproportionately greater and it will require a lot of his time, then gambling itself will fade into the background and soon will not have any significant meaning to continue playing.

Then you can protect yourself from problematic addiction like this: simply "don't start trying to play gambling and betting if you have other hobbies that bring you joy and have the prospect of income." After all, many guys really need to play once, and after that they will no longer be able to stop. And it's a shame that this ruins those who had another hobby, and could develop in it, and become useful to others precisely through this hobby.

Yes, it does depend on each person's decision, but I'm not sure if they can stop easily after they have achieved the amount of victory they expected, as the saying goes, saying it is always much easier than practicing it, and the difficulty will occur to someone who has succeeded in realizing their hopes for a victory that has been planned in advance.
So maybe I would say that the idea of ​​stopping when you have achieved the expected victory is nothing more than nonsense, because a change in mindset is very possible because of the urge of greed to get a larger amount.

The problem is because the object of victory in gambling is money which we always need to realize the needs and desires in our minds, meaning that it is very possible for you to continue gambling instead of keeping your previous promise to stop, and I'm sure that when you are in that situation, it is very easy for you to ignore all precautions.
