Topic: Easy or hard to quit? - page 2. (Read 2411 times)

Of the many people who gamble, it seems that only a few can control themselves and are able to make gambling a place of entertainment so that they will never regret or feel such a deep loss when they lose.
If there are statistics for gamblers, I'm sure 70% of them are gamblers with the aim of enriching themselves or making some profit as a source of income and the remaining 30% are just gamblers who have the aim of having fun or entertainment.

From the percentage of 70% of gamblers, it will be more difficult for them to stop gambling and of course they will always pursue what has been targeted or become a goal from the start of entering into gambling.
I once studied the attitude of a gambler who was really into gambling to make money and a gambler who was just having fun.
There are several differences, one of which is that a gambler who chases profits always has high emotions and even he always cannot accept defeat because he has a great desire to always win and the majority of gamblers like this have an economic life that is not stable.

If asked to choose to interact or make friends, I would choose those who gamble for fun because it can provide some useful experiences about gambling and does not influence us to become excessive gamblers or in the sense of being gambling addicts.

I suggest not claiming every time there is a promotion because you have to adjust your budget. And don't immediately spend that budget on all the promotions in that week because there will be other interesting promotions in the following weeks. If you spend all your budget for the week, you may deposit another amount if you see another interesting promotion.

And if you don't have the option to place a bet, it's better not to place any bet to avoid another loss. And if we only want to place a bet to recover a loss, we may rush in choosing the team or player, which could lead to another loss. Make sure you have enough time to analyze the match so you can choose the right team.

You give everything it takes to be able to stop gambling. And even though it's not easy, one has to keep trying because by trying, someone also practices what he learns and as time goes by, he will slowly master it well. And in the end, he can stop gambling without leaving any problems.

And don't forget to have a strong intention to be able to stop gambling. Without a strong intention, your efforts may stop in the middle of the road and you will be lazy to start again. It may take time to really stop gambling and it is all worth it.

Quitting gambling is really hard. Because its addiction does not go away easily. but if some things are in a gambler then he can quit gambling.

- Self-control
- Strong desire to quit gambling
- Patience
- Not be emotional at easily
- Able to handle greed
- Don't panic
- Strong desire to focus on other activities
- Facing family accountability
- Get motivation from a wise person

These factors can help a gambler quit gambling. But not a guarantee.

I agree to that, if you quickly try to recover your losses the chance of not analysing well may happen and instead of recovering your money it may turn to another loss since you are not doing your research when placing a bet, it's always good to have a clear mindset before you place your pick and bet your money.

Accepting your defeats will help you to pause awhile and re-assess your strategy. If you can practice that, your chance is better than blindly place a bet and just hope for some luck to back you up.

Well, there could be some exceptions as well. Even though I do not gamble that much recently, I started to gamble regularly, especially on Sportsbet. I also tend to claim whenever I see promotions. It's easy to control yourself when you only place bets on sports. Last week I had some good wins but lost them all in English premier league matches.

If you do not have options to place a bet immediately to recover your loss, you are unlikely to make a wrong decision. Usually, when we place bets to recover our previous losses, we do not have enough time to think about whether it's a good choice. But you have time to think before you place a bet on sports.

Only people who can still maintain self-control can survive gambling and are not affected by anything related to gambling. They can still enjoy the fun they get from gambling and don't think about getting a win from gambling and it's better just to enjoy the gambling game. If you are included in the list of those people, you are really lucky because you can control yourself well because you play gambling just for fun and don't make money from gambling. The mindset of wanting to win must be changed immediately before they become addicted to gambling which is difficult to cure.

I just suspect that you live in an area where the law doesn't work well, of course it's difficult to live in a place like that where every time there's commotion because of the sound of music and other stuff, I'm not sure something like this can happen in a country where the law goes well because the citizens feel disturbed by these activities can easily report to the authorities for action.
It is indeed not easy for us to be able to get out of an activity that we always do and have done for a long time such as gambling, especially if the desire to stop is not born from ourselves but because there is pressure and even though it is certain to stop only temporarily it will return when there is an opportunity.
Gambling is always interesting to do because there is fun to be had when playing it, especially when you can win, so it will be difficult to stop, especially when you still have the funds and time to continue to be able to play, so whatever the results are, it doesn't affect you other than just wanting to go back to playing, but responsible gamblers will know when to play and stop whatever the result.

Yes it's true, sometimes most gamblers' mindset is almost the same, namely they feel they will win soon and continue to gamble and only then will they realize that they have run out of their money.
But not many people can completely control their emotions and passions when they are gambling because the pleasure in gambling stimulates their adrenaline more and most of them are definitely unconscious and as if drugged by gambling arrangements that play with their thoughts and emotions that they will win a little more if they continue to follow the gambling game.

the reality is that it is not easy for people to leave something when they are constantly doing that same thing. for example right now that I am writing this post of mine I am being tormented by a huge noise coming from the bars that are close to my house, those people have been there since the morning in the bars because they are consuming beer and are playing games of chance with friends, they they look like they don't have a home to eat, sleep and rest, every day they are there in bars and making noise with the music they play at a very high volume, the police do nothing to comply with the laws because in my countries have their own opening hours for bars & clubs but as the police are bribed they simply turn a blind eye to what is happening

so those people who are in bars & clubs making noise every day feel like gods, they insult and attack anyone who tells them not to go there to play and drink beer, and I heard that since years ago that their life is the Even then I asked myself: what would happen to someone in their group who stopped this kind of life? the only answer that came to mind and still comes to mind is that person would stay at home and do nothing and could eloquence, that's because as sad as I have to say that way, those people are already addicted to gambling and in alcohol

they won't stop consuming alcohol until they get sick, but when they get sick they will stop temporarily because they have to take the medicine and they will stay at home making lots of promises that they will stop drinking, but when they get better they will drink again and play again. Now let's ask ourselves: where do they get money so that they can drink and gamble every day? the answer is simple: they keep doing debt, consume beer and gamble to pay at the end of the month. In a nutshell they live for that kind of life, I've seen their women going to take them out of these bars and clubs, but they beat their wives a lot and don't leave the bar and club

I totally agree with you and that 100% happens that some people do it, but not a few people are more curious about playing gambling and when defeat befalls them they don't even give up on doing it again, but without realizing that they have entered a war where someone those who have high curiosity will do it continuously and even uncontrollably and when they realize they have spent so much money, it is different from those who are used to controlling their emotions and passions, they prefer to use their common sense if they continue to play, that they will spend so much money, then because people who have such traits will be more likely to appreciate their income and vice versa with people who have high emotions and high passions they will continue to drain their wallets or accounts to continue gambling.

Yes, indeed, but what is happening? a friend when he tries to help another with a loan and without interest, when he does so it will be a great help, great satisfaction for that person, in fact it will be the perfect solution, but the problem that can trigger is very great, because in The moment that friend forgets to pay, just because he is your friend, or things are not clear, that will become a much bigger problem, and it is something that should not be done, also many times for making loans or something like that, Friendships can be damaged, the only way something can be done right is to sign something and promise to pay on time, but as I said, that is a problem because people often take advantage of being their friend to not pay , or to pay more easily, or even sometimes those loans do not end up being paid.

In addition, a player who is completely involved in the game, that money will use it to play, there is no other way, because his brain will be focused on winning with the money that he has already been given, that is something that is very difficult to get out of his mind, what I am saying is that if there is a loan there is no need to risk it in a casino, I prefer to use it in trading, because trading is one of the things that can risk money but you risk it based on what you know, otherwise if tradign is done as if it were gambling , the results will not be good.

That is why these things are delicate, personally when I play in a casino, I have money to do it, which is little, always little, never much, because if I lose it it is something that will not hurt me, then in what As far as I am concerned, things have to be done according to our abilities. If there is a loan, it is better to use it to do other things, but not to use it in a casino while playing.

Although the mentality of a player will Always be to take Risks to see if they can win, it doesn't matter, but playing, the bad thing is that when they Win , many players do not agree, because they want to win a lot of money and that is another problem, because they are looking for profit big and there you can also lose Again.

The mindset is already polluted and instead of preventing to play back, they will try to keep playing in the hope that they
will be able to manifest good result and may win back those losses.

The problem is, when they suffer for another loss, meaning to say that the loan money just washed out from gambling and there's another
problem that being created, paying back will add up and most of the time, gambler will sort to another friend or relative that will lend them money.

And the same drill and same cycle up to the point that there's nothing left to them but all the regrets that will keep lingering inside them.

Most of the time gamblers does it. If the money have been used in the right way surely the addiction could stay away from the person. In reality people weren't able to take it in that way. The mind thinks of recovering the loss and the same leads to further loss than making better earning out of it.

When you get the loss,sometimes your friend will help to mange the loss by giving some loan without interest.But that loan money you should used for the loss management.Instead you reuse the money to the gambling by the addiction,it will surely affect you very much.Because we don't know how long the debt will goes by keep on playing the gambling with the addiction.It's essential one to stop after you loss huge money or you feel you get addicted to the gambling.

What I think about this is that in order to do any type of activity, human beings have to think about what makes us feel good or what makes us feel bad. I think that when we are children we see life very easy, and as we become more mature adults we lose that vision of children, a child knows what is wrong with him, even if he doesn't know it, he doesn't know it, unless he is a very problematic child who wants to attract attention, and if we start to see, he solves it.

If we are doing an activity that is going to hurt us in life, why do we keep doing it? Why don't we take our own measures, the spirit is very powerful, and here I can only say that "Wanting is power".

When we come across very big things that we think we cannot overcome, it is best to seek help, psychologists, friends, people who can help, there is always someone who can help others without so much or asking for anything in change, in fact I have seen that the forum that many people put their cases in evidence, say how they have overcome it, others are going through a trance like this and are still struggling to get out of it , that is something that we must take advantage of, the best thing about the forum is that it goes Deeper here , it obtains very detailed information on each subject, sometimes we can get those very specific things here, Fortunately the more you Contribute you Reach people and help, I think that is the best you can Feel as a person , the more you help someone I think the satisfaction is absolute.

When we are in an Environment that gambles with money , a lot of Money is Risked, there are many vices that are easy to take , smoking , drinking alcohol, drugs, we come across people who do all these things without really understanding that they are Tying themselves up , We must help those who need it the most to overcome these types of details in our lives, which is why when speaking with such intensity there is no better thing than having the Contributions of people who have gone Through and lived those experiences.

Yes, quitting is still possible because many have done that in the past and those that struggles to quit and still gambles have their own will of quitting.
Sometimes it's all on them and that makes them harder for them to quit because it doesn't make sense to them. They're too vocal on quitting and yet they're not doing something and not even forcing themselves to do it.
It must be them to do the initiation in quitting and limit what they're up to as they try to quit.

Well, that's a great alternative, because you can have a lot of opportunity to do things, as you say play Play, play other types of games, even table games, which are also fun and you can enjoy a lot, of course there is the option where you can play by making bets, but that must be avoided, in video games like on PS5 you can also make some bets, so everything like this tends towards that world, because it is obviously more exciting, although I have said several times that a person who has a problem of giving up any type of vice is that they are dedicated to a strong Sport , such as cycling, swimming, soccer, something that comes home very tired to sleep.

I say about this type of sports because obviously when the body begins to affect other processes, and it is clear that when the body gets tired the mind also, it is not easy to start doing something when the body is tired, so this type of activity turns out to be very beneficial, also mental health changes better when doing sports, and even the immune system itself is strengthened by practicing sports, in fact, in the pandemic so much was sought to raise the immune system, than those people who went out They went jogging, running every day, they did not get covid-19, this means that sport helps in every way, which is very beneficial when there are addiction problems.

Of course there are also the different options of going to a treatment with a psychologist, or with any other type of professional help that is also welcome, this according to the preference of the person, but personally I am inclined when there is an addiction problem to tire the body so that it does not feel like going into temptation.

While in theory a strategy like that would work, this is difficult to put into practice, and this is because of something called lifestyle inflation, so if at some point on your life you were fine to make a one dollar bet and that was enough to bring you the thrill that you were looking for, once you become rich you will need to make a one hundred dollar bet in order to get the same kind of excitement, and as such you will have no other option but leave gambling behind completely as it no longer satisfies your entertainment needs, or you will increase your betting size until you can feel the same fun as before.

You said right, it's too difficult to quit, but it's not impossible to accomplish as long as you have your self-will and the determination that you can do it, it's a learnable process from our brain and with the heart that full of hope that you can truly do it, then it will happen along the way.

Sometimes it remains a feeling because without further action, that's going to remain as a feeling and you'll never get out of it.
They may say that it's easy and they're able to quit because they've done a lot of things. And that's what everyone must do.
When you're going to pressure and push yourself to quit, just do everything what it takes.
