Well, I hate quitters but if you HE thinks that it is the best choice it is up to you HIM, that is your HIS money, your HIS decision.
Please, note that who quitted gambling is Fatunad, not me.
Read again carefully, I just respond to his situation and try to deliver my opinion.
Because it is not my case, it is better for you to write "HE". So, people don't misunderstand.  Cheesy

gamble of what you can afford, in gambling there is a lot of fun that you can enjoy during break time
You are right, gambling should be an enjoyable or fun thing. Don't make gambling to be too serious by targetting earning a big amount of money. Most of the gamblers who become addicted or be stressed of spending all their money, probably because they are too obsessed with earning a big money from the jackpot or prizes. But if someone just gambles with small funds (money that can afford to lose), I think there will be no problem at all.

when i do first gamble then i do find out myself to be that impulsive and i cant control myself when it comes to finances. Thats why i do really make out decision on not to touch up gambling anymore because im aware that it would really be giving me out some problems in the future
Are you no longer a gambler, now?
Deciding to stop gambling is an individual choice, but remember the problem comes from yourself, not from the gambling itself. You said that you cannot control yourself and probably you spent your daily funds on gambling, so your finances become worse. Actually, you can learn how to control yourself and gambling may be a good place to exercise it. However, you are the only one who knows yourself well. If you think it will harm and be very difficult to control yourself in gambling, you can decide to stop.
Well, I hate quitters but if you think that it is the best choice it is up to you, that is your money, your decision. Just try to set up yourself how to learn to be contented and gamble of what you can afford, in gambling there is a lot of fun that you can enjoy during break time or you are at home while taking a rest right after the whole day work. That was the reason I can not leave gambling especially poker, while you gamble you can talk to your opponent too in if in online you can hang on for a while in the chat room. I think there is no problem in gambling, it is you --yourself.

Some of us think when gambling is just for fun, then it may not be called a gambler. But for me, even though you only gamble for fun by spending a lot of time having fun gambling, then for me that activity is included as a gambler. For me, gamblers don't always have to spend a lot of money, with them sacrificing a lot of their time in gambling even though they only spend a little money but still, they are gamblers who may only differ about addicts or not.
I think what OP is trying to ask is if you are a gambler that you are able to participate in the discussion or just faking it so you can meet the post requirement for your signature campaigns. Gambling should be fun and entertaining but the only problem is that the discipline to control yourself when to stop is going to difficult to do.

Gambler or not is not based on how much we spend on it. Even if we are spending few cents only then we are gambler already as we are risking our own money. Gambling for fun is just a "slogan", for those who do not want to get addicted in the long run. This slogan may control us so we wont be doing to far away in gambling (spending more than we can afford to lose).

There are a lot of people posting here. In most of threads related to sportsbetting, most user just discuss about the match, how player performed, how they could perform etc but very few person discuss about odds, chances of winning a team and other factors related to bet.
Is it possible that most people only discuss here to fulfill their signature requirement? In my case, I don’t play games at casino. I used to play back in the day but not anymore while I'm still having sportsbet on most of the matches.
Be honest and share about you whether you post only for your signature requirement or you post because you are involved in gambling & you want to know or share knowledge.

I think everyone has the potential to become a gambler and people generally tend to overestimate their ability to correctly calculate odds (or understand the context). I used to play some online poker but quickly realized that you are mainly playing with sharks because most little fish quickly empty their bankroll and abandon the game, you have to imagine that it will be true of any game of skill. It's the same with sports betting really, the bookmakers are constantly evolving and working with masses of useful historic information so it is extremely tough to be them - although their are some gamblers out there who profit from pricing discrepancies.
Personally I gamble on soccer betting and my mission on this thread is to read and seek other soccer analyst opinions invariably compare them with my own personal analysis before placing my bet especially during EPL English Premier League season I do read few members who placed some bets before a match, I am not here just to only fulfill my signature campaigns, I don't bother myself making comments on sports that I am not interested on e.g casinos, slots etc I read mostly soccer related comments and that is my place of interest, it is also very interesting to read other members views regarding players transfers, post matches analysis and match officiating etc with a view to also make reasonable contributions and comments and also acknowledge their views

Of course I am a gambler but a few months still I don't take participate in gambling because I already lost my professional job and I have no heavy income. But I recently joined Betfury.io gambling which already bet me with losses. So now I am completely free from gambling.
You felt like completely Free from gambling because of losing capacity to sustain your gambling activities but for sure once you return back to having professional Job again? then you will decide if you are really free from gambling or not.
Almost on half year I have stop become gambler and pass my day with trading and try to be arbitrage on several coin, I have try to stop become gambler because is not allow in my religion and I try how to build my money management become better without gambling, I hope with my friend still active on gambling could stop it and back to trading or become investor in several potential coins.

I'm not a religious person, but I don't think there's much difference between trading and gambling (sports betting)... The feeling of excitement is present in trading all the time! As there are winners and losers... After all, if you manage to earn money in trading, someone is losing money... So it seems to me that these kinds of activities are very similar...

That is why I am indeed supporting the idea of Gambling and Trading are at by chance the same.

Trading has a larger chance of winning than gambling, and you can also cut your losses. The first difference between trading and gambling is that you must master fundamentals and technical analysis, whereas gambling is based on luck. On the other hand, they are similar to emotional aspects of gaming in that if you can't control your emotions, you may lose. If you're winning, someone else is losing, which is true in both cases. It's also impossible if everyone is winning because the money on both sides is in a cycle.

These days I wouldn't classify myself as a gambler.  I did hear a phrase the other day I liked that went something like...  When two men have a disagreement the next word should be 'bet'.  Not a bad way to operate.  

If I were to try and classify my status as a gambler, I would say that I am but a man who enjoys the added happiness that comes with exclaiming, "give me my money!" after a sporting event.

I am not an active gambler only sometimes I like to gamble when there is an urge to gamble and in a month only a few times to do it and for fun and with small capital.
although sometimes there is a desire to continue playing but I can control myself and other reasons I always lose even though I rarely play gambling and when I lose there is always a sense of regret and why I do that that's why I play when there is a desire to play and with small capital.
Don't worry because majority of us are Losers , there are only very few that can manage winning more often.
and also Categorize ourselves as a Fun gamblers and not a total gambler in which can be addicted at any time.

I have try to stop become gambler because is not allow in my religion and I try how to build my money management become better without gambling
Playing gambling is a choice, no one is forced to join gambling. So, if you think it is better for you to not gamble anymore, then go on. We cannot blame you because you are not interested in gambling anymore. However, since gamblers come from various religions and backgrounds, you also must respect them. Regarding your effort to build money in other ways, I hope you can succeed. But remember that even it is not gambling, no guarantee you get a better income if you did it in a haphazard way.


You would able to find it for yourself because when i do first gamble then i do find out myself to be that impulsive and i cant control myself when it comes to finances.
Thats why i do really make out decision on not to touch up gambling anymore because im aware that it would really be giving me out some problems in the future
when it comes to money or budget since im really that emotional not only on gambling but on every simple things in life.
So if you do have this kind of behavior then better to stop on early phase.

If you want to give up gambling then that is your decision just be careful because trading can be way more damaging than gambling, at least in the games you play against the house you know the advantage they have over you and it can be quite small depending on the games you liked to play, but on the markets the advantage that an experimented trader has over someone that does not really knows what they are doing is huge and you could lose a great deal of money if you do not really know what you are doing.

Personally I did both, even though I'm not a high roller who tends to take a risk by pouring tens of bucks or more in one bet. Just an ordinary gambler who used to bet with several cents each bet (unless in slot bonus buy feature which it cost tens of dollars at least), and lately had been involved in sports betting. I also used to posts on gambling section although without join in a campaign, ofc I didn't deny the fact that signature campaign encourages me to make gambling posts more.

I'm happy if you can really stop gambling...

but gambling makes curiosity stick, you may be able to stop for a few months but there comes a point where you will return to gambling again. when that time comes then you must be able to control yourself.

It is very difficult to stop an addiction. It's like a smoker who has to quit smoking. But if we really intend then everything will be done. Maybe not immediately disappear but little by little it can eliminate the habit. Expand the positive activities and interactions with many people outside the environment that makes you an addict.
That's because willpower alone isn't going to cut it, there's a step by step process to cure addiction, this is the 21st century so it's not like we don't have the tools and the ability to cure the addiction.

Self control is the key here to jump out of addiction. Even I smoke a lot but not addicted. I mean I dont smoke everyday. I smoke when I meet my friends. But when I come home and stay with my family, I dont smoke. I feel smoking lot often, but I just skip it saying, will smoke when time allows. I do not compel myself to go for a smoke. Like wise, anything can be controlled. But Its up to each one. But its possible to get out of addiction. Self realization and self control can only cure addiction.

I think people will easily manage money without gambling, but you have difficulty managing money without gambling. I don't have thoughts in that direction but when you gamble, of course your expenses will be greater and when you stop gambling, you will automatically find it easier to manage your finances, not more difficult, right.
By the way, at least you've made it this far to not go back to gambling, in contrast to me even though I stopped for at least more than a year but in the end I returned to gambling, but so far I feel a lot of difference in gambling in the past and now.
