Gambling has become an everyday thing for some people and this act has lead to serious addiction which is not good. When gambling we should understand that we are just playing for fun. Most people i know around always take gambling as a very serious issue and i have this particular friend that always complains to me how he has stopped gambling but from no where you still see him gambling again. Me myself am a sesonal gambler and i only gamble on the sport i know which is soccer, i think exploration of new gambling games you are familiar with also causes this repeated feeling of always quitting gambling. I just want to know if this phrase is common among everyone or its just he catch phrase whenever you experiences a big loss.
For me, this is entertainment, and I don’t always have time for this, since I devote a lot of time to my family and my business. Sometime in the past, when I was a student, this was a very serious hobby for me, I tried to understand if I could earn money from gambling, I played almost every day and tried many strategies. In the end, I came to the conclusion that this is too difficult an activity, and I began to treat it as entertainment.

I think the gambling industry is a growing sector that needs to be properly taken advantage of and by doing that I mean adequate management of everything, I have not had the thought to stop gambling because for me I am late into gambling and I have adequate time management.

There is a stop time for me and I don't go beyond that time.

I think majority here has one time think or intend to stop their gambling or gambling addiction. The thing is that it's hard to quit specially if we are winning. Maybe when we lose, and lose everything, then most likely we will have to quit for sometime before we can recover.

So it's not a myth, even if you go to online casinos and talk to some of the patrons, they will tell you point blank that this is the last time. But the next night you will see them again inside the casino playing with what little money they got.

I only play gambling to fill the void of time and am not a gambling addict, so I only play gambling when my free and empty time is usually on weekends which are saturated. I often play gambling like you play soccer betting bets on weekends. I have no intention of stopping.

I'm just trying to limit or reduce my gambling activities, and to stop is not at all as easy as people say and there have to be stages that must be done until I really want to stop.
and now I only gamble when there is free time and there is a desire to gamble and with a little capital that has been provided and for fun, and the most important thing is to learn to control myself not to keep playing. And if the capital runs out then I will stop and if I am lucky or get a win I also have to stop so I can get a full win.
Gambling activities can be reduced by having a full time job like me because after work I use the rest of the time to rest and only play on weekends and even then when there is a desire to play and if not I don't gamble.
and I felt the difference before having a steady job and after having a steady job, and I thought if I wanted to quit I think I could, but I'm not being a hypocrite as long as I still like it I'll keep playing and maybe just lessen or limit. And to stop completely there will be a time and at the right time.

When some people are having fun and spending good time gambling others are struggling with addiction and gambling issues so since I’m on the type one of people where i only enjoy some time gambling with few money that I’m ready to lose and won’t effect me in any way, Beside never trying to chase my losses and spend more money after losing. I never thought about stopping gambling before since i didn’t come cross a any issue doing. If someone is losing much money that he needs or his family needs then it’s time for him to admit that he is addicted and it’s affecting his life in negative ways. First step to fo is seeking support from therapist or even his closest friends.

I just want to know if this phrase is common among everyone or its just he catch phrase whenever you experiences a big loss.

It's natural to have the intention to stop whenever you are faced with big losses, some actually stopped for a period of time to cool down after a huge loss, I did this so many times and will continue to do this its good for your mental health so you can breathe, relax and forget your losses I lose count on how many times I stop for a period of time and think of stopping but always go back especially in boxing and basketball when I see good local matchups.
Its part of your gambling activity to stop for a period of time, addiction comes when you continuously gambling without a perios of rest.

Always play for the amount that you don't mind losing and then there will be no problems with addiction.Personally, I don't see the point in going all in and gambling for large sums, the game should be fun and not cause you stress.People who have problems with self-control should not participate in any gambling at all, this will only cause losses.

Every single time I had a huge loss I tell myself that this is the last time I gamble big. But somehow I continue placing odds. Cant say this is an addiction, because I did not rush to gambler, I did not try to win back my money by making a new deposit. This is just my greed. Numerous times I have failed with "I'll just bet all-in in dice with 95% win rate few times" after a streak of small bet wins. The bitter of a loss releases me quick, as I make deposits like 20-30 bucks to gamble with small bets, and this all-in loss is a end point in my gambling session. I had fun, I've paid for it.

I never stop or quit gambling, maybe there was a time because I don't have a job so my save money is for my family, to bring food in the table. But once I got a stable job again, 9-5 and earning decent, then I slowly comeback to gamble.

But it's just betting on some sports and then slots as well. But I'm not that addicted, I can go on for months not wanting to gamble because I set my priorities. However, there could be individual who are totally addicted and can't simply stop.

Yeah, I think it's very common for the majority of gamblers who wanted to stop gambling,

a. you came from a big lost, and says to yourself that you want to stop gambling for good, so this might last for days or months
b. but after that period, you start to think of gambling again, want to scratch that itch again and maybe you can recoup your losses.

I think that's what on the mind of gamblers, specially b wherein they find that as a excuse to go back again.

hmph..
I have never decided to stop gambling, but I have decided not to open my slots account until unlimited time. Of course this is a difficult decision, almost like I will stop completely, (its been more than 2 months, never playing slots), I'm afraid I expect too much to win but end up losing. We all know that when you lose, it's very easy to getting lose a lot of money coz of emotion, so I paused to playing until I could play with better control and financial conditions.  Grin

The number of times that a gambler tries to stop gambling shows the degree to which the individual is addicted. This may be categorized as mild addiction, moderate addiction, or severe addiction. A gambler who is moderately addicted to gambling would have no difficulty abstaining from the casino. On a personal note, since I go into gambling with two aims—have fun and do not exceed your budget—I have had no need to try to stop gambling. In other words, I gamble responsibly.

Some gamblers who are addicted in gambling has a bad habit of going back over and over again despite their claims that they will not gamble anymore. This is because of lack of professional intervention and medical help to get them over their addiction. No necessary treatment and rehabilitation was done in most cases, hence, they end up having a relapse whenever they want to cut gambling off their lives.

Some gambler addicts can surpass this challenge all by themselves and with the help of those people around them, but in most instances, they don't fully recover and overcome it because once they decide to flush it from their system, sooner or later, they'll feel the need for it and thus crave for it even more. With this, the outcome is them going back to their old habits and repeating the cycle.

2 years ago I wanted to stop gambling but I realized that it is hard to completely stop so I decided to reduce my gambling activity step by step. Starting from reducing my funds and time, and the result is that now I do not gamble as much as I did years back. Most casinos also provide self exclusion feature that may help us to stop gambling, but I did not use it because I believe it will be useless feature if we do not start it from our own will.

Well i would say this is actually kind of my cash phrase then when i was still a chronic gambler and the bitter part of it is that it was at my early stage of life. When i first experience gambling, the act grew on me and i actually sort of had an addiction to it, l lost alot of money and when i tried to recover my losses it further made me loose more. I would say it was just by the grace of God that i have eventually slowed down on my gambling ways,  i normally just see gambling as a extra activity now so whenever am free and have some cash to squander thats when i do my gambling. I think its better this way less stress on me and little losses and no hard feelings after lost.

I never try to intend to stop it as i used gambling for entertaining purposes only.  I used my free money and yeah i feel nothing lose by doing some gambling. The fact that if it's very funny to fight with code. It's about how luck you are when you were dealing in casino or something else.
Sport gambling shall be got an exception caused by this is far easy rather than doing casino or something else. People who have been addicted to it shall try to decrease their addiction. They shall change their vision to think gambling for entertaining purpose only rather than a way to change their lives.
Mostly of people who addicted with it sees gambling as a way to become a rich person instantly.

I haven't wanted to give up gambling completely and I still gamble occasionally. But I don't have a gambling addiction, be it mild or severe because I almost had it in the past and didn't want to experience it. If your friend could learn to control himself while gambling, I don't think he would have a gambling addiction and would be able to stop gambling whenever he wanted. You as his friend can teach him how to control himself so he can follow you and at the same time, cure his gambling addiction. But it takes time to recover and you can stay by his side to help him recover.

A lot of times I have been losing really bad.That is the only time when almost everyone of us swear to himself that they won't touch gambling ever again.However the problem is that time heals everything and with the passing of time our rage feeling and sadness that makes us promise ourselves that we will stop gambling fades away and we are heavily gambling again as soon as things have cooled down.Yesterday I have been playing really hard slot machines and I have lost a lot of money and thought I will never touch gambling again yet here I am today placing sport bets on Manchester United.

Some people can't stop and some can just forget about it and go on to doing something else. If a person had already gone addicted to gambling before and then overcome it when he was still a teen, I think it's easier for him to stop. For someone who had just become addicted to gambling and then wanted to stop, it may require willingness.
Be it a teen or an adult, to quit gambling after they have been addicted requires willingness. The problem that most addicted gamblers face is that they are not welling to stop, once they think that this is not helping them and can destroy their life as they are addicted and willing to stop, they will stop.

I do gamble with dice and blackjack from time to time but when I lose the amount I allocated for that time, I also quit and let go of the loss.
You let go of the loss, but you did not quit gambling, you only stop gambling for awhile for a bad mind not to build up within you at the time which can make you to lose significant sum of money in gambling.
