I have been associated with gambling very personally and occasional and take a break from it when ever I don't want to make more money :p. I have a corporate job to support my livelihood. I recently took a break for a few weeks to complete my due project and before that for a week when I was out on vacation. Btw, the expenses while on the vacation was covered by my gain from gambling.

It seems that you have a power over the bets that you have in playing gambling, though, for me it is not always the good outcomes that follows, you need to take risk as well as to lose, and in this case, the best possible response to winnings is actually what you did that is to enjoy your your prize and to not bet it again, meaning to say that you could get back to gambling after you have decided to test your luck again.

Can you consciously and willingly stop gambling at any time?
If you can do the above, you have great control and discipline, of course you are not an addict and you deserve to gamble as much as you want.
If not, clarify your ways of stopping gambling.

And yes there is no reason for a person to be addicted into gambling

I'm afraid you're wrong, earning money and losing money in gambling is the two main reason why people could bet addicted to it, winning and losing can't be controlled, it will depends on how lucky and unlucky you are, once someone experience either one of these two reasons that I have mentioned, they will go berserk, if they lose, they will do everything to take back their money, and if they win, they will do everything to win more in gambling.

Make sure you watch the man bet a little and enjoy it, it's not a serious thing and no need to worry. But if a person exceeds the normal limit and has big investments, there is no gain or loss that will stop him gambling, I guarantee.

I was "addict" for like 1 month so I can understand why some people continue to play even if they are loosing.
But honestly it was a really good experience because you start to see the other part of you and if you win, you will learn a lot about you.
I think everyone should be a small addict and loose some money. Wink

I think it's going to be good if you're just a little bit addicted and then you'll find out how wrong you are so then you can just stop being like that. The problem is that there's some people they didn't even get a self control while they're just losing a lot of money, which it's so bad because they'll be broke at the end.

Yes, I can stop gambling at any time. I can start the game again. Because I'm not addicted to gambling. And there is no reason to be addicted. Because gambling is only a sport. So I think that one should not be addicted to gambling. Because addiction has the potential to cause financial loss. So I can control myself. If I wish I would gamble. It's not just that you have to gamble everyday.
Thanks.

We are experiencing the same thing. I can gamble if I want to and will stop if I want to in short, I can control myself whenever I gamble. And yes there is no reason for a person to be addicted into gambling but it is like games for me.

I said that gambling is like games because whenever a gamer is playing a game for a first time and got hooked with it, he can get addicted into it and play many times in a day. It is the same with gambling. If you play and get hooked with it, you can get addicted into it.

Self-control is the best thing for a gambler if a person is a gambler he should know when to stop gambling. Some people lose their control and they spend more than they can afford. We should gamble but in limit and keep in mind that it’s our additional earning resource. If once you lose money never try to recover it if you can’t win just stop if you are loosing continually.

I believe it all depends on how gambling is a bad habit for you. If you just have fun then you will not have any difficulties with stopping gambling. However, if this is your addiction, then you will need a connection with your deepest values in order to consciously stop playing. For example, when you smoke, but know that you will die from it tomorrow, most likely you will stop smoking because your health in this case will be your value. With gambling the same thing.

Right and you know people often think like gambling is not such a serious addiction and they are just having fun but studies have revealed that gambling is one of the most deadly addictions because it affects you mentally, financially and once you loose control then emotionally and physically as well.

But, if you are gambling for fun and just do it with spare funds like me then it will never be an issue for you. There are times when we all feel aggressive even if we are playing for fun. Like when there is a match between Djokovic and Federer no matter how small abet I make, I just get tense because I love the rivalry and the stake I make is just more of a reason to watch the match.

Limit your bankroll and make sure to quit when you already attained that certain point. If you will be more greedy then there's no chance for you to control and the outcome will be worse. It's not easy but if you will build good system to yourself and you play emotionless strategy will work and you will avoid losing big amount of money and chance to make some good profits may happen to you.

Never give up to try to control yourself because that is worth your money and your time. If you can do it easily, you don't have to worry about addicting because you can control yourself with good. Managing yourself will need time before you can do with easy. Besides that, controlling yourself will also prevent the greedy that might comes to you in the gambling games. But still, it is hard to see the profit from managing yourself unless you have luck in gambling. But with have control over yourself, you can have a chance to reduce your loss in gambling.

I also think that we should always exercise our self-control when it comes to our gambling, I get that people may not like to do this when they are having fun and the only thing that they want to do is to relax and have a good time but there are activities in which you should never let your guard down and gambling is one of them, because if you do and you enjoy it too much the next time you gamble you will be tempted to do the same and this could begin a cycle which you cannot stop.

Yes, control is not can be easily achieved because it requires training also during in-game or not. We should have a good mindset and a well-trained brain for you to success in controlling yourself in gambling. It will have advantages if you have control, fewer problems and less stress in life 'cause if you get addicted to gambling then continuos loss might happen and will ruin your life.

how can you say addict when it was only a month ? you mean you play all the time within this time frame ? i thought being addicted means that you play longer than a month and you also spend alot of hours/minutes to play and you forgot other important things that you should also do . good thing about you is that you learn from your gamble mistakes but i dont think that its a good idea for anyone to try to become a gambling addict just to learn more thier life's worth when they can always start to become a better version of them selves if they wanted to .

I was playing like 3 months normally. One month after that I was like addict because every second of my free time my mind was like "ok man you need to continue, come on just do it". I realized it was the road of a true addiction so I did things to prevent it (stopping, doing something else). Now I'm free.
Of course no one should be addict but sometimes the beginning of an addiction is a good experience, you just need to be careful

While I am still gambling, although not every day, but in a week I still have days to gamble. Maybe this does not make me too addicted. Yes, like I said, I'm not a gambling addict, so I can set the time when I will gamble and stop gambling.

I have control, I stop when I run out of money to gamble Grin

. but when I still have the capital, the desire to limit betting in gambling is a bit difficult because there is a sense of wanting to get more in betting.

lol that means you can't control, because the most important control is when we have a lot of capital, and we have to be able to avoid a lot of losses, the point is don't be greedy.

When playing gambling and suffer loses you must have the control and discipline not to gamble again. When experiencing difficulty to stop and wanting to roll out again you cannot control your eagerness in playing. Just stop to avoid more loses.

But, it's not that easy because as a passionate dice gambler I have find myself uncontrolled at times when I loose in dice and there is something called as adrenaline rush which has forced me make bets which if I was in my peace of mind, I would never make them.

One such instance I remember when I was dicing and lost around 0.002 btc which for me was significant and I was frustrated and gambled by remaining 0.0004 btc at 10% win chance and guess what, it actually won. But then I realize that if I had not lost I would not be making this bet at all. So yeah all is fun for me but it's hard to stop for gamblers when they are into it completely.

I see, but what matters is winning, it is not only inside of the game for us to goal a good win, but also outside of the game as well. If we are to let us be lost from being addicted, then we are losing even in our real life. Meaning to say that we should have what the OP is stating, a will or a control to stop playing at a certain circumstances when we think we are being too careless and not thinking straight anymore about playing.

This is the best of you wind and unwind and play whenever you wish too gamble as you are not addicted to it . Also when people do not play for just money most likely they would not be addicted and can easily play at their own space and stop when they wish too.

Being a gambling addict is not just about losing all your money. Some people are becoming an addict because of their winnings, they are addicted to win!

It is definitely not about some people

Unless you are a billionaire, and have been that way since your infancy (read, you've been born into wealth), you can't help becoming addicted to wins. Wins give you that supreme and unequaled feeling of being in control of your life, even your fate itself. In fact, we can call that a state of bliss or euphoria (provided you are actually winning)

So it is kind of normal and expected to become an addict of wins at almost all times and under virtually any circumstances. But the problem is, it is next to impossible to book profits in a casino all the time (which wins are about in this environment), or even most of the time for your average gambler in the long haul

Yes if you are gambling then you will have to control all about your gambling and no one is responsible for it. You need to gamble with care by having control over your emotions and your whole feeling not only about earning but also about loss. If you see you are losing money just hold and never try to recover faster just wait and stop gambling for some time.

Its a common sense already that it is all your responsibility into whatever happens to your money either you win or lose.

Having a control with yourself is too hard to achieve to be honest because if that is the case then lesser gamblers will suffer losses. Gamblers are losing most if not all of their funds because they are too greedy and hoping that they will gain more and more profits if they stay into it.

I usually gamble for entertainment but there are times that i am unable control myself to risk my money. However, given the fact that prizes are definitely enticing, it tempt me to take a risk and depend on luck on winning the gambling. But, i'm not usually the type to constantly bet as I'm saving for my own goods. Just like on what i've said. it tempt me but not most of the time, only twice or once.
