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.

I am confident to say that I have control on my gambling habits and I can easily stop gambling at any point in time, even when I am on a winning streak. I learned it the hard way when I lost my 1 month salary on gambling alone. Its hard to explain to my wife how I lost it in just day. So i promised to myself never do it again and learn how to discipline my self when I am playing. I dont bring a lot of money with me when I am playing. I dont put too much funds in my wallet used for gambling. It will just temp me to play some more even when I lost a lot already.

I'm a trader and also a gambler, there are similarities that I keep noticing when I doing both. Discipline is required in both trading and gambling, you should know when you are going to trade and enter or when you are going to fold or I'd say cut loss in trading. You should control your self for you to not make bad decisions that can lead you to losses.

and what i believe is another problem is the love for money,because many traders and gamblers has same issue why they are failing and thats the greediness.

most of them lose tons of money just because they cannot help of looking for too much income either winning in gambling or profit in trading .

Discipline is applicable in everything in life, not just in gambling and trading. Discipline, understood as the ability to stop or say no at the right time, is needed in investment, shopping, drinking, eating, etc. Gambling is one way of spending. If it becomes uncontrolled or even uncontrollable for some, it is very risky to your financial stability at first and gradually to everything in your life. I am trying my very best to be able to control myself in gambling.

Possibly yes, but you can say 100% you will be in control of your game eve things happens in seconds without our knowledge so we have to keep the thing clear in our mind before coming into bet will stop us from over betting.

But for me, a gambler must be having the knowledge and he must be aware of his betting as well. I know in some places when people gain more so they lose control over their greed and keep betting with the same strategies but we must know to earn should be in the limit as unlimited profit can cause loose. And we should not keep spending to recover previous lose so, in short, it’s important to stay in the limit.

It is paradigm "control or not" gambling is no different from anything else you do, excesses affect any activity, even doing nothing is wrong.

Sometimes we will get experience in losing control in gambling because our emotions will not always stable when we gamble. At that time, we can lose control and makes us use more money to gamble, but the fact, we can lose that money if we are not careful to gamble. That is why we need to take care of ourselves, so we don't have to lose big money in gambling. It is normal if sometimes we lose control because we are human and we are not perfect, but we can prevent that by learning more and more.

there is no wrong if sometimes you cannot control your playing habits because this is enjoyable but if all the time same issue?then there is a problem on yours.

I agree even we say we have control when we gamble there are times or comes to a point you forget your limitation because of your emotions, its either you're enjoying the game or you lose and wanted to recover your loss for that particular moment.

I often say I have a self control and aware of my limitation but sometimes I also forget my rules when playing if the game is exciting.

Personally this is the only aspect of gambling I have no control over, at times having a straight four wins I wouldn't stop until I loss two or more bets before realizing that my emotions isn't controlled , I promised to myself to shut down my device after hitting my daily target or after having a three straight losing streaks.

lol why not try to delete the application instead of shutting down your device?because you cannot resist opening your device as the social media apps need to be checked for some personal messages and stuffs?

Stopping gambling at wish must be a good sign but that does not mean that you can gamble as much as you are able to. I mean there should be some limit even you have full control over your gambling and control on stopping it at wish. When you gamble unlimited, you may start losing your control on yoru gambling activities. That is a dangerous one, you may remain a disciplined gambler only when you gamble limited.

Quote from: tvplus006 on November 26, 2019, 06:04:00 AM

most people, when they reach the intermediate goal, continue to play until they lose everything. Therefore, you need to choose the right time to get out of the game without loss.

How to choose the right time is the million dollar question. If you are able to reach your intermediate target then why not continue until your final-target? A control on stopping is possible for every gambler but they do not know what is happening next so they lose. If I know I will lose all my bankroll on 25th bet then I will stop on 24th Grin

Most of the time yes but when I'm already playing on the table its hard to resist and its hard to stand up and stop playing. My strategies for the past months is that, don't bring too much money and always set my goals in playing and because of this I became a responsible gambling. Now I can stop playing at any time even if I lose or I won money, having this kind of self-control is a must have for every gambler and gamblers should be more responsible.

It's good that you're always in control of the game. But most people, when they reach the intermediate goal, continue to play until they lose everything. Therefore, you need to choose the right time to get out of the game without loss.

I think that nobody can have control all the time, even professional poker players lose control, so what to say about us amateurs. Well, I have control most of the time, but there are moments when I lose that control, its usually in moments when I get into some fire and that happens from time to time, that makes gambling so attractive, and couple times losing control was a good thing, I bet like crazy and I win something big.

It is easy to have control in your gambling im a gambler myself and if I lose so much money I can control myself and stop playing or keep losing my money.

You are saying this probably because you can control yourself that easy and I feel the same that I can control myself too but we are just few compare to the gamblers who can't control themselves if they are either winning and losing.

Lucky for you that you can control yourself even you are losing so many money when you gamble. Share here what are you doing so that the gamblers have an idea of what they can do too.

If you can control yourself then you already have a target profit and target loss and aside from having self control, being disciplined can help you too.

Sure I can, I can start and stop anytime as I wish. The key is by having a limit, not only limit of money but also time. Once we can keep ourselves on that limit then we wont be addicted. Sometime I can gamble during the whole day when I'm on holiday or no other real life activities but on other time I can stay away from gamble as long as I want.
It is basically not hard to have our own control, as long as your will is big enough then addiction wont be able to beat your self control.

clarify your ways of stopping gambling.

Don't start gambling at all, it has literally no benefit to one's well being. Don't start and you won't have to find 'ways' to stop it.

Short but concise Cheesy

.

This is for me the best way to stop gambling - to not gamble at all. I don't see any benefits of gambling in one's life since most of the time, gamblers often lose their money and worse they are losing more funds than they are winning. In this way, you don't need to learn how to control yourself, be discipline etc. Just don't gamble and your'e fine.

Gambling has no benefits at all for those who looks at the money side only but ignores the fun/entertainment part of gambling.
Sure if we look at those who lost much money then we will say that gambling is just a place to lose money but we forget about the other positive sides such as having fun with friends, getting new friends, playing game with a chance to win (winning or losing is the effect of gambling obviously) but we should not force ourselves to gamble to win money. Just play it for fun with your extra money that you can afford to lose.

Even video games have those positive sides you mentioned.

Every coin has two sides. It is up to you to either get caught in the negative side or the positive side. Gambling has bad and good effects to yourself. It is up to you if you get caught with its negative effect or positive effect. By dreaming of the money, you will probably be caught in the bad side. But by thinking of the game and enjoying it while it lasts, you are on the good side for sure. This is how gambling games should be played.
