When I'm still gambling, I can control myself and I can gamble anytime I want.

The most difficult thing for every gambler to do is to control his emotions or control his desire not to bet and only gambling addicts can feel this difficulty. But if you are not a gambling addict, it is very possible for you to be able to control it.

All gamblers certainly want victory for every bet played. Some things that can cause loss of control not to bet are successive losses while the capital is still there. This can trigger a greater desire to start higher bets with the aim of returning capital that has been previously spent.

Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

When I'm still gambling, I can control myself and I can gamble anytime I want.

I only gamble when there is an event in our country like Basketball games and that is around 3-4 times weekly and 1 bet per day. I only gamble for fun and enjoyment as I'm watching the game but most of the time, I end up losing all of my BTC (since I'm gambling online) until one time I realized that I must stop gambling already because I can't get any profit into it and I will just buy my money anything I want instead of betting it. I stopped already and I bought some of the things I want using BTC Cheesy

It depends on the situation when i am playing gambling because if i am experiencing a lose streak or losing several times that will be the time that i can control myself to stop playing, so i could avoid myself from having huge losses. But if i am experiencing a win streak i have problems in controlling myself that sometimes i become greedy because i assume that i am so lucky.

Different emotional conditions are occurred in the two sides of gambling addictions, winning and losing are not the decision points to stop the addiction problem. Controlling yourself is not decision, whether it happens or you continue what you have been doing in the regular dates. For big winners, they can limit the betting amount per round but the situation is different for the long sequence losers.

In order to have control over the game you have to observe and follow your rules clearly! It seems to me that something similar exists in trading on the stock exchange... When there are no clear rules - you lose control over the situation and lose money!

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.

Gambling depends on the person how they handle. Many gamblers are going to play most of the time because they want to earn more money and profit, but they are many players wants to play because of the enjoyment they got on playing. Gambling addiction depends on the person who wants to addicted to playing. You have control of your time and it depends on you how you manage your time and money.

Before I started my gambling career, I studied how it works and what are the consequences that I will get after playing it. There are advantages and disadvantages in playing gambling and you should always keep in mind those things. Being aware in gambling will help you to manipulate your emotions so that you know what to do when you are in an actual gambling. I already experienced being addicted to it but I instantly stopped that addiction because I have family to prioritize and there are a lot of things that I should put my attention in. I handled myself with all my willingness to stopped from gambling and I started to invest in a business where there is no losses, in gambling it will just waste your money and time. Value time, money and effort, that's the key to success.

For me, I'm relatively moderated regarding gambling, the thing do not exceed the little experiencing !

People should be moderate in everything they do! I think I am moderate person, I never do
something too much. It's a control, I can control myself, to stand up when I feel it's enough,
to not play with more than I can afford to lose, even that amount last some time because I
never risk too much.
Gambling can be dangerous for people without control and their close ones. They can lose control
and lose a lot of money in seconds.

For someone who already made it a habit and ca enjoy both winning or losing. Well, if you think it is no problem, just gamble every day. But I suggest not playing excessively, especially in the current condition. Who knows the virus outbreak will happen a long time. We are better to make a priority for our activities.

Having a set of priorities will let the gambler to enjoy from other life activities but the lack of alternative will not have the same effect over the long term gambling limitation. Eventually, the gambler will find himself in gambling websites one day and this is the last point which I am afraid of before the totally sacrificing the life savings.

Actually, losing several times is partially don't have control. Sometimes, having a losing streak means you let yourself continue more because you expected to win in the next round. Perhaps 2-4 lose streak is enough and that's the signal to stop playing gambling, but if you continue, you're obviously not self-controlled.

It's good if you don't use self-control in winning streak situations because it's a positive condition that should be called blessing but if you feel you're going to lose your winning money, stop it now.

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.

Everything is about the money you bet.
If you don't bet a lot of money and in a daily basis then it is very easy to stop gambling.
People who gamble a lot of money are the one that cannot quit it and are addicted to it.

Though you're right but not all gambler at the lower layer have control over their gambling life, we have seen many cases around the forum were newbies to gambling are found uncontrollable when it come to gambling. My believe is, each gambler has their own layer of operation and those who bet or gamble with huge funds can be found to control their urge than those with smaller gamble funds. Am just a case studies here as I belong to the lower class before and then realizes my mistakes while gamble.

Something you will feel when you are winning that you are getting excited when you play, Of course, it's a different thing when you are losing. Because it's hard to restrain yourself mostly when you have some funds in your hands, you really want to get back what you've lost and that's not gonna matter to you whether you losing again or not. this is the most case you can see from gamblers, controlling their self from playing from losing streak it's kinda hard stuff for them.

I think it's a no, even if my mind says that I am willing to stop gambling, I know to myself that gambling is something that I can't easily stop any time. I cannot call myself an addicted gambler, but the only reason I can see is that I made it as my habit and gambling is the activity that I enjoy myself, so why would I stop.

I don't think I'm gambling addict, I only play occasionally and mostly for fun or when there are really important pots or bets, the game is not compulsive for me, if a period goes by without me playing nothing happens, I think the game in general should be fun and not addictive...

Me too. I do not play often. I prioritize other things that needs to be done first especially during week days. Well week ends are bonus. If some friend(s) will invite me to play, I'll spare some of my time. Yes the game will still be a game and still be there even without you or without me. So for me there is also no reason not to absent in any game.

Its confusing to me, you're not addicted but you cant stop playing it? Anyhow you're not using a huge amount and just a free satoshis from the site so I think you're playing to kill time. In my case I have control and just playing for fun, stopping is not a problem since I dont gamble to double my money.

It sounds confusing but it is not really.

I am not addicted, that is for sure. But when I say it like that without the explanation, it is really addicting since I also get that reaction a lot to my friends. I can say that I am not addicted since I can stop whenever I want, that's more confusing, right? I say that I can't stop meaning I can't stop completely, once a week or once a month I bet. I can't stop gambling once or twice a month but I can stop gambling once I bet, I don't know though if that is clear.

I'm not addicted, so yes, I can stop at any time. Gambling is fun for me, something that I do in my spare time. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose but I'm not professional gambler and I'm not financialy depending on it.
If someone finds himself in situation that can't stop gambling then this is called addiction and can be very serious problem.

Yes i can, stopping gamble is really easy for me, actually i can remove it in my lifestyle if I want because I am not that so used in gambling, I play once a week, I play only when my friends invite me to do so. I don't want to be addicted in gambling so I am not playing always, I know that gambling always can make you so addicted on gamblibg because if you do that, your body will find it if you don't play once.
You can also do that mate, for all those gamblers who don't have control on playing, try to change your lifestyle, make yourself busy on other things, like spending your time with your family and friends.

I also can stop it any point of time as its not my habit nor my addcition due to which I am gambling. It is only fun or to while some time occasionaly does it and not that I am playing for money due to which major issues start to occur. If one have control then all is fine and can have the best of time and do not have to worry much as well since one would not be getting addicted to it.

For me I can't do that, gambling is my happiness so removing it is like hurting myself.

People who should think of removing gambling as part of their activity are those who are addicted to it, because if you are not and you are enjoying on it, that should inspires you living in this world. It maybe weird as others would disagree but each one of us has our own happiness, it just happen that some wants the thrill they'll get in gambling and they'll feel a special kind of happiness doing it.
