Topic: Easy or hard to quit? - page 19. (Read 2389 times)

After earning enough of the easy money (wins from gambling) i prefer to repeat this route. Actually i am not a gambler but i am one of those who believe that the money earned from gambling will return to gambling. Everyone is talking about assumptions but some of the people around me made a lot of money gambling and the money they won was enough for their next generation.

But what they did was put the money back into the gamble and lost most of it at the table. If the large amount of money that will save my life does not come from gambling and i do not have a gambling habit certainly i will turn to guarantee jobs that will evaluate the money. It can be to open a coffee shop in a beautiful place for myself and i can spend peaceful time there with my loved ones. It is impossible for a gambler not to gambling his winnings.

Old habits die hard, right?
I once heard in a conversation that a drug addict changes for a while but only needs one friend to invite for all his effort to crumble. Some casino addicts just change location actually, they may not show their face to the local casino but will travel 30 miles away just to gamble on another casino. However, there are few that really change for good. Most of them found a woman that changed them.

If your self-control in playing gambling is very strong, you will have no problem stopping gambling because you know that you must stop immediately. Whatever we have won in gambling, we will not continue gambling and prefer to stop something bad from happening to us. We cannot predict when we will win, but we must know that loss can come anytime. That's what we must be aware of so we can stop prematurely and save our remaining money. So if we can control ourselves well, we prefer to stop gambling.

Yes of course if I luckily win a jackpot that is a huge amount of money in gambling invariably that will put to end of my gambling activities afterall I gambled to earn extra income, fortunately I got more than enough alternative source of income thus I will completely disassociate myself with gambling.

I asked this because those who made some money through gambling near me always go back to gamble and they end up losing everything they once made through gambling.
I will attribute those that went back to gambling after winning huge sum of money due to greediness and addiction probably overconfident that they will more money whereas ended up losing all their fortune, they should have invested their money in other businesses that will yield some reasonable profits, if you have the opportunity to advice them kindly do so.
I never won huge amount of money because I gambled with some fund just aiming to win with 2.0 to 3.0 odds, If I aim to win big that means I will have to stake with some huge amount of money and I do avoid accumulator bet because of it high risk.

Even when we win big, there will be thoughts of continuing and that big wins will definitely come again, but all of that doesn't know because for those who have already won, it's still difficult to stop and I think their thoughts are always different from their intentions from the start.

Addiction is still difficult to control, even with its own rules, it is usually easier to break because there are no serious prohibitions, so for some it is still very difficult to get out of the zone they often play in gambling.

Gambling is hard, especially if someone is addicted to it. But as I am now, I am not addicted to gambling because I don't often gamble. So if I win a reasonable amount of money from gambling, I think I should be able to quit gambling. But for those who are addicted to gambling, it will be so difficult for them to quit because it has become part of their habits.

And I also noticed one thing in gambling: when someone starts winning a bet or wins some reasonable amount of money from a bet, they may want to quit, but the belief that they will win another day will never give them the belief to quit because we human beings are never satisfied with money, and nobody will like to quit where they are getting money from. 

Easy or hard to quit depending on each individual, winning is something that is desired when someone is risking their money at a gambling place. The cycle will never be far away as experienced by the people around you. Winning and losing is unpredictable, when you win big and then manage to bring home money from the gambling venue, your adrenaline always asks you to return to the gambling venue with the belief that luck will be on your side again. When something you don't want happens, you will feel upset over the defeat that just happened to you. Your adrenaline is growing again which pushes your mind to get the money that has been used up at the gambling place.

No I can't because I see gambling as a means of entertaining myself and who on earth will hit it big from what he lives doing and quit. This is impossible, even people that are losing huge sum of money don't quit,they only go for rehabilitation.

Nobody have the intention of losing when they are gambling and for this reason,one can think that he will be lucky again to win 2x what he won,which we see as greed. I can win big and put my wins back into gambling and use that money to gamble for a very long period of time,so that I don't budget my monthly income on gambling anymore.

Yea,what I do now is that if i manage to win big,I buy something that I can always use to remember my wins,and put the rest into gambling because I might win again.

Unfortunately I will tell the truth that many of us don't know for real but they know deep inside their heart.It is the inevitable truth that unfortunately the vice exit with the soul,meaning that we can quit gambling for life but also meaning that when we hit just one thing that can bring us in gambling no matter if we have a lot of time without gambling we would be gambling in no time,that is why the meaning of that saying the vice exits with the soul that we stop gambling only when we die.A lot of people can surely object this statement but so far by personal experience it is true,I have been years without gambling and from 2019 I gamble again,probably it is deep down in my roots otherwise I cannot explain this happening.

Earning and losing are two distinct outcomes in gambling; one triggers happiness while the other causes despair, and gamblers often acquire the expectation that if they continue to wager, they will earn profits to compensate for their losses. I speak from experience when I say that quitting gambling is really difficult. Gambling is simple to begin but difficult to stop. I've seen challenging circumstances when gamblers find it quite difficult to quit, especially when it comes to gambling. The only way to survive is to make the critical decision to stop gambling, which does not happen overnight; it takes months to properly recover from gambling.

It depends on the amount of money that was won and the gambler. Although the majority of people that win always go back to gambling projecting to win more and in the process lose most of the money won. But I have also seen some gamblers that use their wins to invest in a business or landed properties. The gamers that go back to gambling wishing to win more are usually gambling addicts.
Every gambler has his personal goal or reason for gambling. Some believe that gambling is for fun and entertainment while others might see it as a means of raising capital for a profitable venture. But I don't think it is ideal to stop gambling when you win big especially when you have total control over your gambling life. The best option will always be to have a gambling plan that serves as a roadmap for your gambling activities.
I have always used my wins to solve my financial problems. I see my big wins as an opportunity to invest in some viable businesses or investments. This is because gambling wins are not predictable.

That's because these people are tempted to try their luck again, for those addicted to gambling the word enough is not enough, this is the difference between a responsible gambler and those addicted to gambling, these gambling addicts will always return whether they win big or losses, they have the money to sustain their addiction so why stop.


It depends on the character of the winner, a responsible gambler will come back and play but play within his allocated funds, and an irresponsible gambler will go back and will try to duplicate his big winnings because he has funds to sustain him.

Yes, it can be used for other things, but it cannot be denied that most people (gamblers) will get even more addicted when they are given a win, especially with a large amount. Indeed, on the other hand, he knows that this is gambling where he will lose something he has, but because winning will make someone even crazier with gambling, they will feel that luck will come again to him, without him realizing that he will most likely lose money the result of his previous victory. Whoever it is and no matter how smart that person is will have no effect at the gambling table, because this is really about luck and how lucky you are.

I don't have the answer, because so far I've only gambled small. Except, I won the lottery raffle jackpot. perhaps, I am having fun with the money I have won. unfortunately, the lottery is not my preferred type of gambling.


Believe me, this cycle is commonplace for almost most gamblers. so, don't worry about that. the answer is relative, depending on your intentions as a gambler. so, in this case the answer will be very relative depending on each individual. In fact, you can quit after winning a jackpot from gambling and never come back. or, you still engage in gambling just for fun.


in essence, betting there are only two possibilities, lose or win. if you want to quit completely, no one will stop you. It's just that, can you be consistent not to get involved in gambling anymore. the answer is complicated.


Maybe, out of millions of gamblers there are some people who are as successful as you say. I think that doesn't rule out the possibility at all. for me, gambling is no longer a matter of winning or losing.  however, a fun hobby without targeting the victory that must be obtained. My current mindset has changed, because if I want money, the answer is work. gambling, is a part of instant entertainment in the current era. if i win i consider it a bonus. if you lose, what can you do, it's a risk.

Really? I think it is only easy to say when done especially on something like gambling when we know that it can provide us loads of fun including if we win money. Once we know that it's possible to win big amounts in gambling, we will keep on coming back to try our luck again, thinking that we can make more but there are so many sad stories I hear about the gambling winners where they only lose what they already won.

I hope we won't end up like that but we should stick on our betting limits and treat gambling as an enjoyable activity this time and not some kind of a money-making activity. And Since we already have lots of money courtesy of gambling, there is no point on stressing ourselves to earn out of it.

But if you already won a huge amount that can be considered as life changing money, then it's up to you for you to quit since with those money you could open a lot of investment like business. If some people consider it as a work already since their income only came from gambling then I will consider already a pro. You couldn't always take a win there that could provide your needs since your risking your money that can be used to buy some essential needs in your home. Just my thought is to take an investment in every profit you get. By that you can simply quit gambling or retiring if some people consider it as work.

Gambling to make money or get rich is the goal of most gamblers, and if I were in that position and gambling could change my life drastically and make me a lot of money, I would stop my excessive gambling habit because my goal was achieved.
I mean I'm going to open a serious business that keeps me busy doing it and I'm also going to take that business seriously so I don't think about gambling too much. But when there is free time, maybe I will play with a little capital for fun and I have to be consistent because gambling has fulfilled my desires and I have to be able to control it. And maybe with the busyness that we have long loved or wanted, we will get serious about it and cut down on bad habits, and not just gambling but other things that are a waste of time. And maybe repeat it when there is a bit of longing, and do it in moderation and also with a short time.

I wouldn't quit but I will take a break and look into other aspects of life I could profit from, I would spread that money into other ventures to see the benefit I can have, I can't gamble all my entire life, you have to settle for another safe haven that have assurance of profit that will bring in money daily, weekly, monthly or yearly but you know, gambling is just a probability event that will profit you time to time base.

However, I have actually seen some gamblers or sports punters as they called them increased their wagers when they hit something big, they don't quit or take a break, they multiply their wagers and continue betting with the strategy they have been playing prior before that because they believe that the higher your wager and reasonable stake, the more payout you will likely make from gambling, though it comes with more risk if you were to lose the stake.

When I make the money I dream about making from my bets, I mightn't stop gambling but I won't be stupid as those who waste all their money they won gambling. We have to realize gambling is lucky and you won't be lucky everyday so why still put all into gambling.

I'll set up a business of my own, could be a casino or any small business that can keep income coming in raining days. I'll still gamble with some of the money I won but a large amount will be used for investment. The personal business is just one of the investment I'll do.

I'll also invest in buying Bitcoin, the money I won has to be a big amount before I can considering doing all this I said because if it's a small amount, I'll just reinvest all into gambling and hope to win something more bigger because it's possible with gambling.

Of course it'll be hard to just stop gambling after winning a huge amount of prize. Since you're still in the moment of enjoying, and since you have a lot of money, you will think that it wouldn't hurt using some of your winnings to gamble again. Although there's a low chance of them to win big again, gamblers usually expect that they can win again since they're feeling lucky.

If you're a smart gambler, you can still continue gambling and at the same time maintain or grow the money you've won. If I'll win a huge amount of money on gambling, I'll start investing and probably will start a business as well so that I can grow the money I have. And I can still spend some of my winnings on gambling without spending all of the money.
