My answer to your topic title question is that I have never felt the need to stop gambling. Because I'm not that much a hardcore gambler, and besides, most of my gambling at the moment is focused on sports, and for that I have to a monthly percentage and that doesn't affect me to lead a normal life if I lose.
I think if you can limit profits and keep yourself in control without getting too greedy then you don't have to worry about stopping gambling.

Then you should be into other things that might be taking up your time. There was a time I had nothing doing, I was surprised the way I was eaten up with so many gambling activities that almost ruinedy life. I had to take a new demension before it jeopardize my entire perspective. Too much of gambling is not good that is why we just have to moderate the way we input our activities to gambling.
Most time it is all about self consciousness, ability to understand who you are and what you want by not over doing in an accessive way.

It's pretty common for those gamblers who lose a lot. I am sure that most of us hear this coming from a gambler who has intense emotions due to losses and is complaining to the casino that it is not fair, but after the emotions calm down, you see him again depositing money, and after winning some games, he wouldn't be saying anything. Though mostly the reason for this is that they are just addicted or they just can't quit due to their need to earn money.

True. Gamblers who keep on complaining about their losses are also those gamblers who keep on saying that they will finally quit from gambling. But before they do it, they have to try one last gambling experience and if they become lucky and win decent amount, then probably the decision to quit is now forgotten. I guess that’s applicable to all gamblers who are easily affected with their present experience in gambling, and once they overcome those losses, they will start gambling again with the hopes that they will not keep on losing their funds this time.

I haven't tried to stop but because it's not a problem for me. I play little, with low amounts, being aware that the odds are against me, and always with money I can afford to lose. I take it as an entertainment expense, with the difference that from time to time I come out with more money than I put in.

So, I don't have to set out to stop, and in fact, there are seasons when I don't gamble, simply because I don't feel like it or because I'm busy and don't even think about it.

Well, if this is your attitude towards gambling, I guess even if you keep on losing your money, that won’t be a problem because you are just gambling for fun, and not to gain serious amount of money. But honestly, even if I’m aware that the odds are against me, I’m still gambling for profits, not just for fun alone. The reason why I keep trying my luck especially in lottery, because once you end up hitting the lucky numbers, that will eventually change your life as the jackpot prize amount is certainly huge.

But I want to ask if you're well aware that you have a higher chance of getting struck by lightning, or be hit by an asteroid directly than win the Lottery. If you're banking on the fact that you might win it someday just because some people did, you're going to end up dying trying to win than winning it. But whatever, to each their own I guess. As in the case with gambling for fun, for me you don't outright relinquish the fact that you may gain profits when you gamble, it's just that the mindset is not set with winning the games but rather having fun while you are playing, so when you lose games, it doesn't take as much mental stress, and when you do win, it's much easier to relish upon.

You will only decide to stop gambling if it’s making your life unhealthy because of huge losses you keep on enduring from gambling. But when you start winning again and slowly recovering your losses, your decision has shifted again and instead of quitting gambling, you will just continue to gamble more hoping you can chase more profits instead. Yes, this is very common to gamblers out there, and even myself is not an exception.

If you are not consistent in stopping gambling then you will try gambling again for low bets and if you get some wins from gambling games that you often played before, instead of stopping gambling it will actually support gambling addiction again. The effective way to stop gambling is very simple, never get too close to anything related to real gambling or online gambling, if you can do that for the next 1-2 months then you are out of gambling addiction.

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.

I gamble just for fun and with small amounts of money/crypto so gambling is not an issue for me. I can stop any time it's sort of a hobby for me not an addiction. I've also never considered stopping, because it's relaxing, it gives me adrenaline rush, it's great fun etc... Perhaps I'd change my mind if I had a real addiction (losing big amounts, selling my house, debt, family issues, divorce).

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅

I haven't had that experience personally, since I don't gamble but I know a friend that's been struggling his whole life to quit gambling... This dude's been useless and fraustrated several times for the same reasons, GAMBLING.
now, I see these keen enthusiasm in him when something pops up like an argument or trail to be able to decide who's gonna defeat against who, on a regular conversation or trust test. He normally ends up introducing an idea to wager on who would win ....lmao. The last occurrence was when wagered for as much 400k... This dude's been praying his whole life to be able to control himself and I guess, he's beginning to improve on 'em.

I think I haven't tried tbh. Being bored in gambling comes naturally to me, and I don't have to force myself to not play for a long period of time because I myself lose interest in gambling for a number of times now. Also, I don't see any problem in my gambling habits and the money that I spend; it hasn't come to a point yet wherein it interferes with what I need to do. And to be honest, the last time that I bet on something is almost 2 weeks ago in Esports and since then, I haven't bet on anything not even dice. I'm in the clear and I believe that I will stay this way for quite a while.

I don’t know anymore how many times I’ve told myself to leave gambling because it’s always a loss for me, but until now I am still into gambling. Maybe there’s a different excitement when we trade because even if we gamble mostly for losses, but we never really become hopeless that one day I will be extra lucky and finally win a huge profits. But actually, I’m only gambling with my spare money, so that’s maybe the reason why I never get tired gambling.

You are kinda right. Once a person starts to gamble his habits start fo change.
The more he plays the more he gets addicted to gambling. This is where many tend to fail to keep themselves within the limit.
If a person sticks to his limits then he wont ever face the problem of gambling addiction and it would be easier for him to control his gambling habits.

That's where the discipline will enter. Some people plays frequent but has their own self limit and they are not addicted. Frequent in a way that they goes to casinos maybe twice a month or thrice not every night. Casinos are created to entertain people, not to do harm to each and anyone else. We cannot blame casinos for that thing but we should check ourselves if we are already beyond our limits, we should stop if that thing happens.

I may already be addicted to the fun that you get from gambling, especially if you already have the ambition to win at gambling and don't just think about fun. I was almost driven crazy by gambling until I sold the things I owned to play gambling so I thought gambling addiction was more dangerous than drinking liquor and methamphetamine and even I saw my friend who had sold his house certificate to play gambling and for the victory that he seeks in gambling.
I'm still lucky not to do that even though I can't stop gambling but at least the scale of my gambling can be reduced.
The defeat that we get and the ambition to win in gambling will change all the logic that we build at the beginning before gambling.

But the essence, not on the problem of how to stop. because throughout my experience it is very difficult to do. at least, I have processed and gone through various things until I found the answer for myself. Until this moment, I still gamble. whether it's betting on sports, slots, dice, or other types of gambling. however, at least now I'm more mature to react to it. with good understanding, as well as responsibility, we will automatically have self-control. that way, make gambling as fun entertainment without harming other people, especially yourself.

You have tried to avoid gambling addiction even though stopping addiction is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand, but at least you have control over the decisions in each gambling and the first attempt to push can limit the balance used for gambling. I think the main factor in avoiding gambling is having the intention to get out of gambling addiction and wisely deciding not to continue gambling when the loss reaches the gambling balance limit,

commit to a budget plan for gambling, it is one way to control yourself away from gambling slowly. because if the gambler has limited the budget of funds used for gambling, he must really commit to the establishment and if that happens for a few months, I think it will work.
the most important thing is trying to respect the plan and yourself, that is the spirit to stay away from gambling properly and slowly you will definitely be able to really stay away from gambling.

Budget planning can be an effective strategy for controlling gambling. However, the daily or weekly budget should be very flexible. So that the budget does not allow too many single bets per day and too much time to be spent on gambling. Then gambling cannot make us addicted to its deep addiction. And only then it is possible to control yourself in gambling. If not, we can get stuck in the deep addiction of gambling at any time. And then it will be almost impossible to quit gambling

Gambling has become part and parcel of some gamblers, they can't stay without gambling in a day. As for me I play once a day or twice highest and I have been trying not removed it from my heart because gambling is from the heart and once you remove ur mind from it you have over come but to remove it from the mind is the issue many are facing till date. But it is a gradual process to stop and you can't just stop it at once. It might take days, weeks, months or even years and if the person is ready to stop.

And most people can't stop it because there is no any other jobs for them to do to feed themselves or their families. So they use gambling to pay their bills so if you tell them to stop gambling then you should be prepared to provide jobs for them or be fully ready to attacked. Because according to a day, hunger man is always an angry man

They have to start thinking about doing something else so they don't think about gambling when they have nothing to do. That way, their thoughts will not only be about gambling but about what they are doing then, which can help them to try to distance themselves from gambling. But this is not easy to do for people who have often played gambling. It needs intention and seriousness to keep their minds off gambling, only with the intention that they can reduce their gambling time and even leave gambling forever.

Not that much. I only stopped playing when I started watching streamers like Roshtein, Train, DeuceAce, etc on Twitch. Before, if I have money I will keep playing regardless of how much time I consume. Times that I want to stop gambling is right after a depleted bankroll.
These days, I'm glad that I can better accept losing, unlike before.

Saw some of their videos as well and realized the same thing, that chasing your losses is not a good idea at all. I stopped gambling when financial problems hit me before and that is the start of my realization. Now, I’m an occasional gambler and can control myself now from the addiction before, there’s always a second chance with gambling, you just need to be more responsible next time and avoid the same mistakes, being greedy is not good at all.

These things could be avoided even on midway on which you should realize that gambling wasnt been created on making yourself rich or make money.Doesnt really need to you to suffer or experience financial problems
first before you could stop but this is the most common scenario on which people do only learnt up on the time that they had been hit up some financial problems which it do made them realize.
Gambling is really should for fun but there are people or most people do really go into a certain extent on which they do end up on being that addicted and resulting
into a disaster before they do literally stop.

The intention to stop gambling certainly always crosses everyone's mind. It's just that it can't be done in a nutshell. Once again I say that maybe stopping gambling is not a solution, but if we divert or change the perspective of gambling as just a game then the risk of addiction will not be too bad. Most of those who are addicted clearly cannot bring themselves to stop no matter how strong the result is nil.

Personally, even though I have been gambling for years, it feels like I can still control what I want. For example, whether there is money or not, I still have no guilt if I don't gamble. The key to it all is self-awareness and always thinking of everything as mere entertainment. Take control of gambling and you don't have to force yourself to stop.

There must be people who only gambles for fun. They can use gambling as one of the ways to relieve their stress and not expecting something big like doubling or tripling their money so there is no way that they will stop gambling. For those who thinks has a problem with it already, how can they stop it if they won't act?

I think the reason why it's hard is because they are afraid of letting it go but if they will find alternatives and learn to appreciate it, then it it's always possible to quit gambling for good. You are gambling for years so you already have woken up from the truth that you can't make unlimited amounts in gambling but those who are just getting started are the ones who still got screwed with it.
