Go far away from any casinos or if you are doing it online, avoid using pc or mobile phones or just cut your internet connection.

This is the dumbest advice ever. How could that someone will earn bitcoin if he is going to cut his internet connection just to quit gambling? I don't think so, you don't need to do such thing just to quit gambling, if you are really dedicated on doing so, then you just have to quit it and no other things will be affected.

You could quit gambling by diverting your attention on to something more important than gambling. There is a lot of ways on how you could earn money aside from gambling and a lot of safer than gambling.

I don't think that is the dumbest advice but a good enough advice.Gambling is not always about bitcoin, and if you just do it with bitcoin you should be able to ignore bitcoin, you have to do it in total to make you succeed. People who dare not neglect anything will not make a difference. So I think it is a difficult thing but it will give a significant change.

The advice is not bad even the doctors also suggest the same advice if anybody addicted deeply to this gambling. When we are involved anything in deeply and to stop that addiction we have to stay away from that source. Then only it is possible. Taking a holiday and going to long trip with friends and family these methods also help to stop gambling.

I dont think this is what the doctors advice for addicted gamblers. Going on a vacation maybe a good thing to do but once you are back (you obviously have to come back) you will start to gamble again. Or maybe while on vacation the addicted person will find a casino nearby and start gambling. The family support is important no doubt but then there is support at home and one does not need to go on a vacation just because they want support of family.

it's still an advice but its far from being realistic. You cannot simply move somewhere else just because a casino is right around the corner. Casinos are everywhere in cities! you cannot just drop the internet because the internet has a hell of a lot use other than online casinos. First thing to do if you really addicted to gambling is to give up your control over your finances. Have someone you trust handle it for you. Cant gamble if you aint got the funds. Find something that will divert your attention and surround yourself with people that are not into gambling. Then the rest should fall into place.

Find a new hobby to replace gambling. Try working out, learning to code, video games or something like that. I wouldn't recommend gambling with play money, the best thing to do is do some new hobby whenever you feel the urge to gamble. Just keep it up and the urge will eventually go away.

Yes, this is the only option that will lead to success in order to quit gambling. If a person has another more interesting occupation, then gambling just will not be interesting to him.

However, it is not as easy as it sound. Just like many of us who are used to using computer every day. How is it possible for us to survive without access to internet forever? Some things have become their habit and it is very hard to change.

If a person really gets determined about doing something, then the word impossible does not exist anymore. Though it is difficult to get rid of any kind of addiction but we have people around us who are recovered addicts. According to me, a gambler just needs to make his mind.

Recovering and the withdrawal effects are what de-addicting a person is tough in. They have that craving which makes them waste money more so by doing morally wrong activities like stealing. The person who is as addict can never accept the fact that gambling is only harming them and their family and has not any good effect. They may be able to understand this but they still continue since they have nothing else that they can do about.

From my experience giving up from gambling is not a easy if you are addicted toward the gambling. You need a counslar to stop the gambling it just like the addicted towards the drugs and you just choice the other option to deviated your mind from the gambling

Compare addiction of gambling in other addictions like drugs, smoke, woman. All of them is hard to resist, these are all temptations and once you used to it this will be your addiction. And it's like you can't live your daily life if you will not gamble for this day. It is hard if you don't have any courage and there are no people that are helping you and encouraging you that you can do it.

That addiction would surely have one result, which is to ruin your life. Usually when you are addicted with drugs you can also be addicted to girls, smoke, and gambling so drug addiction is the worst. Gambling addiction is hard but you can solve your problem if you will listen the advise of people who care for you, they will help but it's you will have to do your best to quit gambling for good. It's not fun anymore when you are addicted, in addition you are wasting your time and money.

In every addiction there is no good effect and result to the gambler. And that's why a gambler should change his mind and starts to say that giving up gambling is easy and he can do no matter what happens. His mindset should be set like that because if not, he's going to face bigger problems in the long run. I was once became an addict and it's hard to live with that life, you're body will used to it and it's not going to give you any confidence.

Actually thinking of quitting is the last option but when we start to gamble we should always think of the prevention because when the problem already sink in to us it would be hard to quit. If we only learn how to educate ourselves then we will easily understand the nature of gambling and we will always be careful every time we play to avoid being addicted.

We can educate ourselves out of those experience we had made as we gamble. And if he can't do it alone, he must admit it to himself first that he can't do it and he is weak enough for doing it. After admitting it that he can't do it alone, look for someone that can help you to quit, this is going to be one of the most effective way if you do really want to quit. As no man is an island, this is real.

Yes i think its very so hard to giveup playing gumbling.when u addicted in gumbling do u think u give up for that.u must control ur self playing gumbling.

Yeah I agree especially once you're deeply involved in money which you already consumed every assets you have and you're also borrowing / lending money to others just to play and expect that you will win and chased all your loses. You will be tied up to gambling forever if you're already in this situations so better control yourself and you're ego and just go turn away and leave gambling for good.

Some people get deeply connected to gambling and they steal money from friends and family just to gamble more and more. They even become antisocial because of their craving to gamble more and more. Such people should be supported by their family and near ones so that they dont so anything harmful to others or themselves. People often are able to cope up with these things but need help from professionals.

It is basically shaking off the addiction. Addicts can't recover very easily. I do not use to bet but still there was a time when I got involved in certain activities and I spend nights (literally) in doing that. Mostly, I am easy target of mobile games. It was very hard to stop wasting my time in them.

I became an addicted gambler and with my experience it's really a hard thing to quit gambling. You are going to fight against yourself even your body doesn't want to gamble anymore, your mind will tell you to gamble and it's just fine because you can quit on the next days to come. And when that happens, you will still do it again and the cycle will be repeating.

The same thing happened to me as well. I cant quit and I keep on coming back. For some people like us it is hard to quit gambling because it might affect ourselves. It is better to keep playing but with small amount so that we wont really risk alot of money even if we need to keep on playing. It is the best thing for us that cant stop playing

the first mistake occurs when we first play gambling. for example is when we consider gambling as an income then we will very easy to get addicted. but if we only consider gambling as an entertainment then I am sure this will be solved easily. so it all starts from the initial goal that we believe.

I think mistakes are meant to be done and people learn from their mistakes. If they do gamble and are using their common sense they will understand if due course that it is only leading to more losses than wins and that the fact that they can become is millionaire by gambling is a bubble. The reality is different and people tend to get addicted if they start gambling. However if they have control over their emotions they can stop themselves and not let the greed take control.

It's hard to quit if you don't have any plans of quitting and you don't initiate yourself to quit. But the willingness should start on yourself and you must practice yourself not to gamble. And if you are on your way on quitting, make sure that you are following what you said, try reducing the amount of your bankroll and in this act you can start the initiative that you are willing to give up.

Hi guys and girls! After making quite a lot of money then losing it and crying about it half the afternoon I have decided to give up gambling for good. Its not for me in have a much too addictive personality. So now I just plan to work for casinos but not gamble.

The thing is you know you should cash out but you always want just that little bit more and then u lose the whole lot. I'm stupid and greedy. Right after I lost i put more in and doubled it then I went all in and lost it. So yes u can make a killing gambling with such a small about like a few dollars but then u lose all u make and waste a lot of time and energy and end up getting upset. Also i shake like mad when I gamble and I hate that. I tremble. When I lose I can't believe what the screen is telling me.

So any thoughts ? Ways to stop ? Ways to gamble with play money ? Maybe there are dust gambling casinoes I can use? U know just for fun and for the fix.

I can relate, I remember what happened to me last last year, I am earning satoshis through faucets and Yes , they are really hard earned bitcoin but i saw a pretty Dice game that i've think on the past that it is the fastest way to earn bitcoin, and yep I've won some but i lost more that what i earned.

It is an emotional draining thing for such gamblers that doesn't have any goals on stopping after they've won, Greed is also one of the top reasons why gamblers go home with nothing.

Ways to Stop? DISCONNECTION. I think I've learnt how to stop gambling is disconnect myself and find another hobby that will make me entertained at the same time it will not costs anything. It is really hard to imagine but hey i did, i am still here and i am not gambling anymore. That's it. DISCONNECTION TO GAMBLING in any form is the best way ( for me ) on stopping yourself from gambling.

Ya you will never stop untill you finish your last penny. Best thing to do is not to start at all. There's a lot of online games that do not involve money. You can just buzz your friend to play online with you and have fun.

Yes, giving up on gambling is really hard. It's like an addict that deep in our blood. If you have nothing to do in freetime? 95% you gonna think back to gambling , which you're trying to give up, for sure. You will think this is the last time and this kind of last time repeat over and over and over again.

These are people that are jobless and they are all hoping for their daily living in gambling or they are professional people but are addicted to gambling, in the end he'll be poor and can loss his job. I know the feeling of those people who are struggling with this problem but they must do something about it, fight it and get some help from other people to cheer them up that they can do it.

But there ways that helps you to give up in gambling especially when you already addicted, like find something replacement activity or go with your friends and try and keep busy to not go gamble and make decision to yourself, this make you feel easy.

if you find you are in trouble to get out of gambling , then better to looking for gambling healing program. it is more effective rather than when you should fall and get up again and again struggling to get a real exit door.

they will guide you into a brighter future , of course it has a price . give a shot on it, go ahead!

Quote from: ?? on ??

There is no need to give up gambling and if you can't afford your losses then you have to reduce your monthly budget or play with play money.

Everyone has its preferred activity and I can't see why it shouldn't be gambling, except you bet more than you can cope with.

To give up from gambling, reducing the monthly budget can work. As long as we continue to reduce the budget each month, reduce the budget every month, the monthly budget of our gambling is 0. It is difficult, but it all depends on you.

That is an interesting approach, most people try to leave gambling suddenly but it may be a good idea to do it slowly so by reducing your budget gradually you will not suffer from the effects of withdrawal that are so common among those that are addicted to something.

This is no difference in controlling yourself. I do not think reducing budget monthly is better way, after all it comes to the person decision alone. I agree it is hard and harder than we thought but isn't it much better to get a diversion than exposing ourselves to the tempatation? Anyway, I am not saying that this one is not effective but I guess exposing ourselves to the temptation will certainly make it harder to give up gambling.

The approach proposed could work, while leaving a gambling addiction for good may be the best option people are going to suffer withdrawal symptoms so it may be a better idea to take things slowly and leave the addiction to gambling in a slower way in which you start to progressively drop gambling until you get to the point where you do not gamble anymore.

The first decentralized crypto betting platform

It’s not easy especially if you have problems with it. What you describe is a problem of self-control and that usually has deep roots in yourself.

Live casinos are obliged to self-exclude those who ask for it. Then there are quite a few online casinos that have the option of self-exclusion for a certain period of time, or forever, for those who want to. The problem is, smaller casinos don’t have it and I think none of the cryptos casinos have, as it would be virtually impossible to implement (you only need an email and a crypto address to deposit so you could change it to play again).

Your only weapon is self-control and you are alone in this.
