So, here putting out the same question, what will make you quit gambling forever? A win or a loss, or both?

If you are gambling for money, you will easily be able to decide stop gambling when you win a big sum. You may also stop gambling with a very huge loss. But when you are a gambler who is gambling for fun, it will be another reason, something apart from a win or loss that will stop them and make them quit.
If you gamble for fun also and you win big It is possible that you change your fun activity to something else because you can now afford more.

First of all not all gamblers quit gambling after hitting a big win infact this would be a motivation for them to keep gambling because they feel like they can always get lucky. Gamblers that lose a huge amount are even worse on the scale, they tend to chase their losses by gambling more which eventually leads to them losing more money. It doesn't matter the type of gambler you are though all that matters is your decision, you can decide to make a change if you are intentional and consistent about it, as a repentant gambler I wouldn't even advice you to gamble for fun or engage in it occasionally cause it might trigger what you are trying to avoid.

If one's luck is consistently good then it is a gift given by God. Because in gambling it is very rare that someone always wins. And if someone after winning a few bets consistently thinks that his luck is very good and he will win the next bets then he is wrong. no one can ever win every bet. and for everyone who is determined to lose. I always think so and here's why. I am able to quit gambling when I want to. to quit gambling, it is enough to keep a thought in oneself that gambling is bad and is capable of causing us great harm.

We don't have a reason to quit gambling because we control ourselves in gambling. We can say that we want to quit gambling for a while and we obey that to avoids the problem that can occurs from gambling. We don't want to see we becomes addicted to gambling so that is why we must strict to ourselves and know when to quit gambling whether is that forever or just quit gambling for a while to take a rest. That will help us to stay aware that gambling is just one of many activities that we can do. We can not win every time we bet so we must realize that we can only use gambling as part of having fun.

Yes, every gambler will experience changes in himself, meaning whether he should stop in order to improve his life or just reduce gambling activities so as not to get big problems.
However, in my opinion, if there is a gambler who truly repents and wants to stop gambling, I am sure he has previously experienced the impact of big problems in his life and that cannot be tolerated or forgiven so that he has no choice but to stop.
However, there are also gamblers who only reduce playing and he still maintains good control so as not to become addicted and he must maintain that every time he is gambling.
Now from here we can conclude that gamblers must have different understandings and awareness in terms of trying to stop gambling, the most important thing is to always be self-aware if you still want to gamble so as not to overdo it.

I know it's been said but I would quit when it became pointless because I had *that* much money.
25+ years ago I was at the Comdex convention in Vegas playing some $5 a hand blackjack waiting for the next seminar to start.

Much to my surprise Bill Gates (yes that one) sat down nearby and also started playing $5 a had. Thought is was odd that someone that rich was playing $5 a hand. But, it was later pointed out to me that $5 a hand or $5000000 a hand for 15 minutes made no difference in his life. Using some basic math if he played for the full 15 minutes (was probably a bit less) and the dealer kept up 2 rounds of hands per minute it's 30 hands.
Even at $5 million a hand if he had lost them all it would have only been $150 million it would still be an insignificant percentage of the $80 Billion he was worth at the time. So to him $5 or $5 million gives the same thrill which is zero since it just does not matter. It was just to pass the time for a few minutes.

If I ever get that rich I would stop gambling, because if I am just passing the time I might as well read a book......

That's a good question, and the answer is different for each user. I think people should quit gambling when they stop enjoying it, simple as that. If gambling is something that you don't enjoy anymore or something that represents a problem in your life, then you should quit gambling, don't wait until the big win to quit because it's easier for you to lose than getting that massive win.

A big win will make us want to gamble more, and a huge loss will make us stop and walk away.

What your friend said is very true, in the sense that it is very unlikely for you to be able to stop gambling when you have succeeded in achieving the victory that you have previously planned, remember that different times will also have different thoughts, or what you mean is that you say that you will stop when you succeed in getting the amount of $ 100k because it is still a plan or dream but believe that when you have succeeded in achieving it then your thoughts will change, most likely you will continue your involvement in the hope of getting a much larger amount.

That is what happens to most gamblers, and this idea can also answer your question about what is the biggest reason that can make a gambler stop gambling which makes more sense when they no longer have money, this is why I said above that it is unlikely for you to stop when you succeed in achieving your expectations because by successfully getting a victory it will be very easy for you to return to gambling because of the money.

Well, in this situation, staying rational is key Wink

I’d quit gambling forever since this is the jackpot I was always looking for: focusing on business activities and building multiple passive income sources is a good idea as well. Also, I will invest my time in personal growth, and even study business management to safeguard my money or double it...For those who say they’ll continue gambling with small amounts, I’d say that’s perfectly fine as long as they’re doing it responsibly and for fun. But for me? I will quit all risky activities Grin

I find it strange to see that we have so huge discussion, when the answer seems to be simple - loosing a lot or all the money is the only reason for quit gambling. And I find it hard to understand, who will think about quitting, when he is winning. I think that is impossible. The emotions that gambler get from winning are so strong, that he must put a lot of effort to stop. However, in general it does not look like someone would ever completely quit gambling. Even if that persons wins or looses, with time, that person will return if not to continue to gamble, but to make at least one or two bets.

So, here putting out the same question, what will make you quit gambling forever? A win or a loss, or both?

The answer to this question is very simple in my opinion. The thing is that you need to determine how much money you need for the rest of your life. And I think that a hundred thousand will not be enough. Half of this amount will immediately go to your own home. Leaving half. And it turns out that 50 thousand is definitely not enough to relax for the rest of your life. Otherwise, why quit gambling? I think that this amount is equal to 300 thousand dollars. But the emotional aspect is that even having won such money, no one will stop gambling but will wait for more.

Quitting would have been a good option but I think, The chances of quitting won't come into my mind because, I will be thinking of how to find 2-3 odds game and be staking it with $500-1000 thousand dollars , However 80% ( $80000) of this money will be used for investment into real estate, build a luxury bar, and invest the rest into Bitcoin. What brings the luck might still bring it again, or at least it has given me the edge to be skating higher money to win bigger money.

This is exactly why gamblers often come home broke. Sometimes, even after winning, they still lose in the end. Rather than returning home or giving up, we persist because we believe, "What if my luck continues, and I win even more?" ”Honestly, I used to think like that too, and sometimes I still do. This is what happens when greed takes over—our minds get consumed with the thought of making more money. Unfortunately, when that happens, we tend to lose even more. I’ve realized it’s so important to control ourselves and really think things through, because if we lose control, the downfall can be incredibly painful.

If the person realize things before getting to deep and become addicted he'll find ways to wake up and forget about gambling, still in the right mind when realizing that he already lose a lot and if he don't want to add more he'll use that to quit and not go back, though it's another scenario if the person already hook and already addicted as there's a need of inspiration and help to push themselves to stay away from gambling.

Losing a lot of money and ruining your finances and your relationships with your love ones are things that may push you to stay away for good in terms of gambling participations.

Unfortunately, not many people can realize that because they are gets deeper in gambling without they know. They even forget how to stop his gambling time and change his habit and also use gambling too often than the other activities.
Not many people realize that they already lose a lot but add more money because they want to recover their losses. That will just add more losses to them and that will not takes too long before he can get addicted to gambling.

He will difficult to quit gambling even for a while because addiction is on him without he realizes. Losing a lot of money, getting bankrupt, lost his minds and many things will ruins his life and he really need to have a strong will to realize and stop his gambling addiction.

Probably that's the next event after going deeper with gambling, keep adding more and keep trying to recover not realizing that by doing that you are just adding more to your losses, and if ever, that you manage to win some your next goal is win more and instead of quitting you'll going to think that you know better and it will give you such edge.

This kind of thinking will be a trap and will keep you engage, so instead of pushing forward it's best to realize that gambling should be control by you instead of you being controlled by gambling.

I’ve realized it’s so important to control ourselves and really think things through, because if we lose control, the downfall can be incredibly painful.

I myself admit that I have even often experienced such thoughts, where when I have won even though I intend to withdraw it, there is always the thought of wanting to win even more and that makes gambling continue until what happens is nothing else and not strange is losing everything that is owned including the initial capital. This often happens but for some reason sometimes it feels difficult to eliminate, but now I can manage everything well with no more thoughts like this, this is one of the good achievements for myself.
Now if the question is reversed with something like "is there a good reason to keep gambling?" I think many people will probably answer by taking this activity as a fun angle, but that does not guarantee that gambling will be smooth, maybe occasionally there will be a time when loss of control occurs but I am sure it can be eliminated because I myself have succeeded in doing it.
Our own awareness will determine us in the future, so we should indeed be in good awareness even when we are getting quite a large profit.

Gambling can be the fastest and easiest way of making money but never forget it is the quickest way of losing money too. If you're not careful the money you won in gambling can go in less than a minute, sometimes people say the money gotten from gambling can never be used to invest in something productive but they seem to forget that it all depends on how the individual deal with the money gotten from gambling, some use the money gotten from gambling to set up their business while some use it to do things that are not productive and after spending carelessly they go back and start regetting.

While it can certainly be said that gambling gives a shot at making money fast it is very important to always remember that the stakes are very high. If we know it or not, any gambling winnings can be wipe out in just a blink of an eye and it becomes a cycle that cannot be easily escape. To some, the matter of being wise in the spending of the amount they win from gambling is what will help them gain more benefits like starting a business venture as well as other investments.

But, the majority of those to whom money is paid fails to understand the procedure of financial planning and control, and so the received amount of money is used on unnecessary items. Then regret comes in when the financial condition becomes challenging. Therefore, it is not a question of whence derived the funds, but how they are eventually used or utilised and to what effects.

Now that's how you get to gradually return all the money back to the casino or sportbetting site through those recurrent 2-3 odds that you would have taken as easy possible strategic means to get on with some other wins. Assuming you've to play with $1000x10 sessions and made a loss with them all, that's a total of $10,000 gone. Now how sure you could be able not to yield to the temptation of gambling furthermore in the hopes of getting lucky to win huge again? I so much have doubt about such a gambler been able to invest successfully with any remainder money from left with going back to using it to keep trying his lucky with gambling till it eventually finishes.

Not a win, not a lose but give me $1M and I'd quit gambling forever. Tongue

There will be no deal that will make someone quit forever. This is the truth nothing but the truth.

You can't dictate someone to quit just because he'd win, that's even more convincing and encouraging to do more because of having more money and the same with losing.

I can quit gambling after winning $100,000, I can quit gambling after winning any amount or not winning too. If I was to notice that gambling is affecting me in a negative way, I can quit gambling to have my peace. My friend and family can ask me to quit gambling and I will do that without having a second thought. I do not depend on gambling for money like most gamblers are doing and this make them to become so in love in gambling that they can not do without it. Gambling should be mostly for fun therefore when you stop having fun as you notice, you are now turning your gambling habit into a routine than you need to stop. I can quit gambling because of any reason that does not make me enjoy myself when I am gambling again as I used to do in the beginning because I love my peace than anything else.

So, you have a target of the winning amount and for this amount, you may take the risk of betting which may turn you into a loss or not. But to win this amount you might have to lose a good amount of bets and also the amount might be high. If the losing increases and cant reach you this figure if the winning then what will you do?

As you said that the problem for most gamblers is that they always find it difficult to accept the situation and circumstances of defeat that they experience, yes I will assume that it is true, and maybe I will say that it is caused by a gambler who does not understand the fact that gambling is a risky activity and sometimes can cause very high risks when they take the wrong action, meaning one thing that if they want to have the ability to be responsible for whatever the results are then they must understand, comprehend and realize first that gambling is risky.

Regarding the last paragraph that you conveyed, yes it is most likely true that a gambler will only realize their mistake and stop gambling completely when they have experienced a significant downturn such as losing all their money which makes their life more difficult or experiencing a breakdown in family relationships, just waiting for the time.

You are right, gambling is indeed one of the risky things to do. And most people take it seriously in terms of winning until many of them are trapped in gambling addiction or others. I think before they know or do gambling they know that this is a risky thing but the awareness of it is still defeated by the desire to win or curiosity until what happens is the thought that leads them to continue gambling again and again even though they have experienced consecutive defeats.
There are not a few news or cases that have occurred regarding the negative impacts of gambling, whether they dare to do criminal acts or those who have serious problems with their families because of the consequences of gambling addiction, and if you think about it maybe people who are addicted to gambling will continue to increase if there are still many people who think gambling can be one of the things that can help them financially.

Yes, because gambling is an activity that can be high risk, it should not be the main choice for most people unless they already have a good and correct understanding and knowledge regarding the concept of gambling. I think that if the object of victory in gambling is not real money, then maybe not many people will try to abuse the activity to earn income, maybe they will consider it as nothing more than a digital game in general, and because the object of victory in gambling is money, that's what I think makes most of them misunderstand how gambling really is, they are too tempted by the name of the chance of winning so that they ignore the other side of gambling such as the risk that will actually always be part of the game. The point is if you want to be safe and don't want to be one of the gamblers who experience a slump, then first understand what activity you are facing.

So it all about what really pushed you to gambling or what are your plans in case you hit it but from gambling, we all have see so many people who have made so much in gambling and they still don't have anything to show for it. So really about individual difference, that what will determine if you will still gamble after making so much amount or you quit.

Individuals have unique approach to wealth, and it's unacceptable to exhajurate the behaviors we'd display on things we've not experienced. Only a few persons have adjusted out of gambling after hitting a lot of money, and those players, maybe, had that in mind before venturing into betting. Or something significant led to the change of habit.

But casinos are aware of the difficulty in stopping after making the jackpot, that's why it's ushered to gamblers, especially as a tactical marketing to lure more gamers to their side. However, it's also disappointing to notice such initial promises don't mostly get accomplished after a huge win.
