yes i am also agree with you that not only gambling but all types of habits are difficult to change, and specially if we speak about gambling so gambling is one of the most difficult job of the world because it always give us hope.

Im lost to what you are trying to say here.  But well, at some point I agree habits are difficult to change but gambling as long as the person is not addicted can shift its interest to other things.  Only gambling addicts and obsessed to chase their losses have difficulty to give up gambling.
Exactly ,thats how gambling works for many people. I think on some point what he is trying to say first gambling is not a job for us except you are an employee or one of the workers in gambling house .Hoping for ? I think it is hoping to earn profits correct me if im wrong because you think that a gambling as a difficult job .Well the difficult thing is to accept what the reality about gambling as it goes .There's so many people who have a wrong perception about gambling but if you know it well your mind will set you a limits because it knows what can be the result after.
I think you are wrong what he is saying means the gambling is a difficult job, that means the gambling is a tough game in the world. And it always gives us hope, that means each and every loss will give us hope like we will win next bet. Becasue of this hope, we will again play in this process we will lose money. According to him don't put any hopes on gambling then you can easily stop your play whenever you want. Am I right?

Many people became broke because of gambling, addiction is a serious disease, you know they can't stop when they win or lose. Pathetic gamblers.

Gambling is always addictive to people, even though they broke their bankroll, still they will show interest towards gambling. Really gambling is always a serious disease to people who are addictive to it and cannot able to give up gambling.

That's IF you win! No one can get addicted when he or she is losing, they will just get tired and lose interest. If you win, and you experienced a big win or big profit, for sure you would come back because you expect the same outcome, but I know it would be different because of the time and the casinos edge.
are you sure? then why there a lot of people get addicted to gambling already out there? is it because of they are keep getting a winning? lol it must be awesome to see a lot of winner and get addicted at once , really i don't think so.

someone who have a lot of lost more vulnerable to get addicted rather than the one who win.

Yeah i avree. I think gambling addiction doesnt depend on winning alone because winning is not a certainty with gambling. There are people who still cannoy control or cannoy stop gambling even if they've lost a lot already. I think what makes gambling addicting and not easy to let go would be its effects emotionally for certain people. Adventure, excitement, fun, being not in control, some people crave these emotuons and most of the time it leads them to negative effects
yes people usually love the way gambling push their adrenaline .

but they can not anticipate the bad things caused by gambling . it is okay to get a thrill with your adrenaline in gambling , but the consequnce are when you have a hard times to leave , so brace yourself heading gambling addiction , or you might find yourself in bad situation.

I would say just give up, and create an environment that you don't visit those sites anymore. Install software on your pc that does that. I used to have a serious gambling problems a few months back. Still do, but I have taken steps like never having too much btc on me which doesn't let me give in to the urge of gambling.

In addition to that change the lifestyle that you always do everyday, Its a big help for sure if we do it little by little. Before when I was starting to play in the gambling site it was really fun in the beginning  only, but once addiction for real being applied it would be a serious problem. Change the habit, one by one its the first step for now.
Its only in the beginning because you are experience of excitement but if you realize that you are not getting profit.. and you are losing a lot you will stop to gamble..
As i can seen these year i think no one are too addicted to gamble due to the price increase and wise decision if they are lose they will stop instead they are choosing to bet in sports betting than gamble in any other luck base game..
Changing ones habit is already hard because you are used to it already. If you're winning especially, you want to experience it over and over again. You can be bored when you're losing all the time. It's hard to stop gambling especially when you like it and you know that you can profit with different strategies

Hi guys and girls! After making quite a lot of money then losing it and crying about not hapfmthe 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 ga!going casinoes I can use? U know just for fun and for the fix. Smiley

I admired you in some other way, because you admitted to yourself that you became greedy and the result was loss of big money. I think you just became one of the victim of being addicted into gambling.  So now its not that easy for you to give it up but you need to be determined to change your lifestyle. Smiley
The first step to cure addiction is admitting it and knowing its causes and effects on your life on you and on the people around you, and it is one of the hardest steps to getting rid of your addiction to gambling, try to remind yourself of the results that come after you lose to gambling think of all the things that you can do with that money, and try to find other ways to earn money to get you off of it.
Think that not all the things in life can be achieve on a easy and faster way, gambling is existing profitably for a reason and we should know that. Our chances to win in the long run is very slim and we can only do that if we are exceptionally good in gambling.
Don't underestimate gambling and be confident enough that we can win easily as that would not help, don't wait for the time that you will have to quit because it makes too much damages in your life already.

Of course its not easy to give up at your comfort zone and specially when you sometimes gain profit when you're lucky. Giving up needs determination and divert youself on other activities like shifting to other hobby like in entertainment like singing or dance lessons, maybe there's a talent of yours to be discovered.

good diversion really needs strong will, giving up to something that you already makes a part of your daily activities would need determination
and gambling really bringing so much fun like what you have said if you are lucky and gaining some wins with an easy way it would take more
time to be able to quit.
Just give up on the fun, true that we can have fun in gambling but if the sadness what you experience more than fun then there is no sense of still gambling. People spent money and they lose it but still they are having fun, maybe some people does not really belong to that kind of thinking and they cannot afford to spend in gambling, with that said, I'm sure gambling will just ruin their lives.
There is definitely no sense in being emotionally attached to the things that you shouldn't be attached to. Especially gambling, there would be losses that you probably won't able to take and that runs through you, and it can affect your families, friends, relatives, everyone that is close to you. You might get easily grumpy and be angry for little things. You should never gamble if you didn't afford to lose some. Taking a risk is essentially the take here.
Having fun is the main thing that is necessary why we are gambling and we can only have fun if we win most of the time. But if that is not happenign despite of the many tries we do, I guess we should consider quitting. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of things you can do to have fun and gambling is not the only solution to having fun. When it's too much it can only destroy lives and we do not want to be in that situation.

Profiting through gambling keeps you active. The same when loss happens continuously the one who have self control realise it and move forward giving rest to gambling. Some with over confidence borrows and gamble, which results the person to completely quit gambling. With gambling one need to know when to give a break and comeback to win.
You are right when we do experience winning we do put our minds to play even more and as you said it keeps us active.Thus,self control would really be needed for you to able to avoid the unexpected non good things will happen to you. Quitting might easy to say or advice to someone but actually its really hard to do.
I sure know that everyone agrees with that kind of mentality. Self control would be a great factor into controlling yourself, and it's going to be hard if you really want to earn in someway. You know that if you keep on playing, you will probably earn a lot. Quitting would be a good thing if it already affects your relationships with others.
If you are a sensible type of person you will surely quit gambling directly because you do already know on what would happen to ahead of you if you decide to play gambling even more.Discipline is crucial related to these situations.

It's easy to say that you should stop in gambling but it's defenitely difficult to do as you can't control yourself. In the other view, gambling is fun if you're winning on your bet however it's sad on the other side when you lose. Hence, you can't certainly say that gamblimg is fun since what you do intend in gambling is to earn money, not just to make it fun because if it were so, thou must play video games.

Who says that giving up on gambling is really easy? NO one but if you feel that you are addicted enough lose too much you need to quit then think of your family is the best solution of quiting it will comes into your mind the "HOW IF" the money you play you gave it to them you help them and make them happier

Actually, sometimes the reason of why a family member gambles, is their family. That means they might have a problem too with dealing with their family or sometimes they do it for their living.

The best thing that I could think that we should do when we want to quit gambling is to look for something else where we can earn money. It would make us busy and it would give us money, so we don't have rason to gamble anymore. Fun isn't really the cause why we are addicted to gambling, it is just the "reason" we said.  Smiley

When we intend to quit from gambling habit it'll be very hard but I do believe that at the end something will force us to give up from this activities.
I tried to quit gambling but it always attract me when im watching people who make profits i don't really know why gambling attracts me always to play with my money. I also think of my money but i can afford to lose them but i want to win always trying up my luck.
that's true we always show off our winning and it's actually make people jealous and thinking they can do it too and then when actually you have a plan to stop gambling and then place a bet immediately for the sake of fun. slowly but sure you back to an addiction , keep trying but nothing you get there , and the cycle of gambling is real at this point.
