After a hundreds hours of gambling I found out that it's pretty hard to stop playing. Gambling becomes a strong addiction and has a negative impact on other aspects of life. I have tried to control myself over and over again and found out that the best way is to make a long pause to let your mind relax.

I think the best way for you is not just pausing but totally stopping for a while. You are getting addicted to it due to long hours of gambling. That is a bad thing. Quit while you are still in control. It would be harder to stop if you are full on addicted to gambling already.

Have you been able to control the urge to place that bet, spin that wheel or roll
that dice? For you to be able to go a length of time away from the adrenaline.

Would be interested to hear how people can control this.

Yes. Its so exciting and fun to see rolling the dice and hoping for the luck. When I play gambling I set my money to spend so I will not exceed to it. Playing in gambling is so much fun to do but do not make it a hobbit because eventhough you set your limit but you played everyday its a non sense. Its depends on people how they see gambling to fun or do it as a business.

Honestly, i have experience to get addicted in playing gambling because it becomes one of my hobbies in the past 6 months, that is why i lost a huge amount of profit by playing gambling that time, but after that i be able to resist myself to become addicted and be greedy in playing gambling that even i play gambling for a long time i still didn't lose a lot of money in playing because i limit myself in betting huge amount of money, that is why i don't lose a lot of money. Anyways, i am now playing in a bitcoin casino that has hundreds of famous casino games that you can play like poker, baccarat, blackjack, roulette, and slots. It also offers outstanding bonuses for new players that you can get 225% on deposits and get up to 1,000 mBTC.

However strong you may be, it's always difficult to resist from wanting more and gambling away what you have.

It is not. It is completely possible to quit gambling or any other addiction so to speak. You need to determined and do the things that distract you from your dependence on that addiction. Also if there is something in your life making you gamble try to correct that first. Wink

But that is the hardest part of quitting,to be determined enough as the lust will always hinder us from giving up our gambling habit

I totally agreed on you mate because i used to be a gambling addict also though that time it wasn’t online because those are the days when physical gambling is,and we use to be in casinos or other gambling houses locally

Lets just hope they can find ways to make that determination possible and may save them from addiction

What I've realized is if I failed to withdraw the instance I make a large win on a gambling site, I'll end up losing everything I have in the site balance.That is one of the reason why I stopped investing on casino bankroll. I get bored of small increment and bet my investment to loose it all.

Well the average gambler thinks that they can win more once they get even a small win. That small win makes them bet a bigger amount and its either going to be a win or a loss. If its a win they continue to try that 50-50 chance once more but if they lose then its the end of the cycle and they are back to square 1. Thats how casino's milk out money - you just have to accept it.

It does take a certain amount of willpower to not be totally taken in by the casino. I used to lose a lot of money before I one day decided that this is a fool's game and the only one getting rich is the casino. If I do gamble now, I would only wager $20 per casino visit, and I would only do it for fun whether I win or lose.

Good to set up your minds and allow your bankroll to be limited, spare money that you already allocated and whatever results stay with the system that you created for yourself, this will help you to control yourself not to be manipulated by greediness and allow you to enjoy even you lose the game, as long as you set up yourself that everything is only to have some fun and nothing needs to exceed from that.

Definitely, and you need discipline to be able to control yourself in gambling, then you can resist anytime when necessary.

This proves that gambling is still fun despite the fact that we are losing.
For me, since I keep losing also, I already accepted that I have no chance in gambling and I will never enjoy it if I will stick with my plan to consider it as my source of income, maybe it's only possible to those who have the talent but me I'm just a typical gambler who loss most of the time.

It is really hard indeed to control something that makes you entertain and determined, but sometimes it has to stop and that will happen of lose your control in gaming, remember that you're in absolute control when it comes to gaming. I am able to resist myself from addictive gaming sites through managing how long I will play, how much I am willing to risk,and of course thinking about the possible consequences if I continue to bet and lost, and I usually apply it to a gaming site that I am recently involved which was Vegas casino ,playing variety of games that I really love with proper moderation and also enjoying the great rewards that I've hot from depositing to them.

I can, because I believe that gambling addiction might lead you to losses and regrets in the future. In gambling, you should know how to control your emotions and you should think of the consequences if you are risking most of your funds. It should be mind over matter. It's either you control yourself or the game will control you.

Its good that you have control over your emotions. In many cases, people lose everything because of gambling addictions or they can't control themselves or they do not use their mind properly. Some people ask what are the skills to achieve success in gambling, i think to be able to resist is also one of the best skill of gambling.

It's necessary to have the control on yourself in any situation, especially in times where you have a bad losing streak.
Everyone wants to earn money so we always like to win but the probability in gambling does not say the same, we even have less winning probability
in gambling in general so it's better to be realistic than being emotional as that's the only way where we can minimize the risk.

Yeah, there are a lot of games and most of them usually focus on luck though there are luck-based and skill based and also some that requires knowledge and analytic skills.

Every game will have some luck factor in it. There is no such game of gambling where there is no luck involved. True that sports and poker are EV+ where you can get an advantage over others by doing your own analysis but still your luck needs to be there in general or you will lose at one bet which you were sure to win.It might seem illogical at some point of time but its true.

I can't resist gambling though, you know, betting on some teams is fun and you watch them everyday supportting amd rooting for them.

You dont always needs to bet in order to show your support in them. Maybe a fun betting among friends for the latest game but thats not addicted gambling. Cheesy

Once you addicted into gambling you will be hard to resist it, i'm a bit addicted on gambling but thank god i still can control it.

Tbh it's really hard to not gambling once you got money in your pocket/wallet. The only way to resist it is don't let you to control your own money, it's better to give it to your wife or parents. Let them control it.

One cannot make any money from gambling except if they are very lucky.

Its possible but you have to beat the house advantage somehow long term, which would be via skill with poker or sports betting. Otherwise with slots or standard games its mostly about luck but that can mean a good luck win also; long term yes you are facing the hard odds unless somehow you are genius with money management ?

If I am gambling for money, I would not play a game that has a house edge, there is no way we can win with that.
Maybe a temporary win but it will not satisfy us if we have a big goal in gambling, making a living in gambling should be the ultimate goal
but this is for people who have real skills only, we like to follow them? We should try and know how long we can stand in gambling for money.

Trying to act as a mature and responsible person that keeps betting as a healthy form of entertainment.

I am afraid that not many people can do that because when they are playing gambling, they can forget everything and many of them are chasing the win money. They cannot resist the feeling to chase the winning because some of them cannot feel that it will be too hard for them to chase especially if they are losing from the game. But I agree with your say, and we need to realize this before it's too late.

For sure security of the gamblers matters allot and gamblers should be safe while gambling as there are so many people who chase the winner and robe them or steal the money which is not safe, I like to gamble with crypto currency which is safe and there us no chances of lose at the end, so I only support gambling but on my own abilities.

This whole thing of security has be the most wanted on the part of the gambler for the to be save, especially the winner. In traditional gambling, fight between the looser and the winner are often seen and if the looser has power over the winner, he will definitely take the winners price by stealing.

It's either you control yourself or the game will control you.

Losing is already part of gambling so it would definitely turn you into losing for how many times if you will gamble.

But being addicted to it can give you an headache that if you can't control it, you will definitely have that kind of regret.
