Quote from: Mr.suevie on February 07, 2023, 11:02:57 PM

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.

Ofcourse we have heard this phrase as it is very common in the gambling industry.
Its almost similar to people trying to quit smoking. Every other day they say its the last time they are smoking a cigarette and yet again they smoke after a few days.
Quitting gambling is equally tough because it releases dopamine which makes us feel excited when we are gambling.
This increases our addiction to gambling and makes it tough for us to quit. This is why we see many people who try to quit gambling.

To me I dont think someone can stop gambling easily, because most people doesn't see gambling as fun they see it as part of hustling and they don't know gambling is a total waist of time.

Seriously I don't know if you can explain better, what do you mean gambling is waste of time? I know it's totally wrong to take gambling as a source of income because that's when addiction always comes in, if you think you can make money from gambling, gradually you will be addicted to gamble because you will always believe you will later win back all the money you have lost if you keep on gambling. But I don't see gambling as waste of time, but I don't know if you can explain better why you think gambling is waste of time.

Quote from: ?? on ??

I was once a gambler but letter I realized gambling is not for me so I quit,

When you started gambling maybe you were expecting money and when you noticed you were losing then you decided to quit. Am not addicted to gambling and am not expecting to win huge amount from gambling, so I don't care if I win or lose, I only gamble with just little amount of money, i just gamble to entertain myself. You were expecting money but you ended up losing that was why you think gambling is not for you.

- Traditional gambling, I have tried to stop several times, but there are still times when I still end up gambling, such as during the carnivals here when there is a fiesta in the area.

Then when I stopped playing traditional gambling, I discovered this crypto gambling became more and more hassle-free for me and I liked it too, although I'm not addicted to it I only play once but in the end, I still gamble even if only rarely too.

That's just how most people when they start to play gambling, they first tried it in some event like that where they find some entertainment doing it and they are looking for more whenever that event is already done. Sadly they became addicted after that and they find it normal until they can no longer stop themselves. Most of the time you cannot stop it when you have some friends who keep dragging you to play or the place of gamble is near your home or something like that.

But I still not considered myself addicted now, I have learn to control myself. Although it took me years or decades to finally quit my gambling addiction. And it take some bad things to happen to me before I decided to stop for good. But still though, now I played as I have said, but it's not the same as before. I have total control of myself.

Gambling responsibly is what we need to priority and for that we cannot be called addicted on playing gambling games if we know for ourselves that we are still in control and we can control our finances used upon playing on casinos. But before we go to this stage for sure we also expect to win big and somehow get addicted but luckily some people realize that its not good over extend our expectation since this is how addiction starts. I always think about this way that's why I'm also in control and not addicted with casino games which I continue playing on controlled manner.

Countless times but most of those instances were when I was losing big time. And if I remember it correctly those were my younger years in this industry wherein I used to be a high roller. I was losing big time which always gave me the idea to quit dince there's a tendency for me to end up with debt if I won't make a change. Fortunately, I came across with sports gambling which somehow changed my vision in this industry. I enjoyed my experience more since I am into sports in the first place therefore making me not only into profit but also for entertainment. From that I've learned to set limits with the amount I would be spending in this industry, up until this point.

This was the most painful time to stop gambling and that is when we are losing big time. It's like accepting our defeat. Accepting the fact that we can not recover our past losses but the feeling is great if one will stop gambling after winning big time. When I mean stop is when they don't play gambling anymore not even once because there is a tendency that they will become an addict because they already win big before. It was still great if you change before it's too late.

I can feel that you are more happier now but who wouldn't be? When you are profiting and at the same time enjoying the game. Sports betting is truly profitable if one will dedicate time to research and analyse plus it's also less addicting because the games won't just processed instantly.

I thought I had stopped gambling before. As I said, I realized that this was just my opinion. Gambling is like an obligatory habit. You can't stop drinking water! I can summarize it exactly this way. I've thought many times about stopping gambling, I can't express it in numbers. But I don't think about it anymore, I don't have such a goal.
My advice; Keep playing and enjoying.

Our opinion matters the most because it's our life that we are talking about here and not someone else. It's not just your opinion but you actually did try to stop gambling there, it's just that it was natural for us humans to be tempted and to build the same urge after some time.

You shouldn't be guilty or feel bad about yourself because of that since many of us can also relate on the same scenario and we just accept the fact that we can not change anymore but at least we have much control now than compared to before. That is the only solution that you can there. It's only wrong to compare gambling with water. Water is essential in our body but gambling isn't.

In my case, I don't have friends who keep on dragging me into gambling, and yet even without them, I still played at land base casinos from time to time or even crypto based casinos.

But I still not considered myself addicted now, I have learn to control myself. Although it took me years or decades to finally quit my gambling addiction. And it take some bad things to happen to me before I decided to stop for good. But still though, now I played as I have said, but it's not the same as before. I have total control of myself.

You need to be addicted to something in a way before you can consider stopping it. But if it isn't a problem to you then I see no reason to stop. So for me I haven't tried to stop gambling because I don't see it as an addiction I rarely even gamble nowadays at most I gamble two to three times in a week and sometimes I even go a while week without even opening any casino site.

But for those that are addicted to gambling it's a very difficult habit to stop, I have seen and heard so many stories of people trying to stop gambling and some of them have successfully stopped while the rest couldn't stop gambling.

Well, even if you don't come to that point of your life that you're addicted. As long as you're seeing that it's no longer that normal for you and you're doing too much then you have to decide of stopping it.

Those that can't see it as a problem, that means they're in full control and no need for them to worry about such.

Although we have to admit that we told ourselves gazillion times that we'll stop but we just can't.

If you are that someone who doesnt still accept that he's that not able to control his gambling activities or which it would be considered to be an addiction then you wont really be stopping gambling no matter what.
You might be able to avoid but you would be still playing in the end because you hadn't been able to accept and determined yourself on quitting.Losing is inevitable and very common on gambling on which everyone
would really be experiencing it.It does really only differ on how someone could be able to tolerate that kind of losing situation which they would neither be ending up on being impulsive
or they would just simply move on since they are already anticipating or expecting it.

Yes, you can avoid but you'll still go back at a point of time that you can no longer control yourself. There's the itch that no one can stop it and as for someone's experience, you'll get to that point where you give up your control and you'll just proceed because you want to gamble.

Quote from: Viscore on February 08, 2023, 10:57:54 PM

I guess that’s the spirit of gambling to keep our excitement and stay enthusiastic despite of the losses we endure at the end of the day. That’s the reason why gambling should be a good source of entertainment rather than to see it as another source of income. And yes, I have promised a lot of times to finally quit from gambling but look at me now, still gambling with the amount I can afford to lose. And for me that’s never an issue, as long as I’m still responsible of my losses and I still manage myself not to fall for deep addiction in gambling.

Yeah, we hear it a lot of time that it's just good for entertainment and not a source of income. And whichever is the reason from the two when someone who's able to quit and then played again, it's their decision to gamble for fun or for that disagreed reason by many which is doing it for the money.

After I took control of my gambling addiction, I had imbibed the culture of gambling occasionally that is when the opportunity avail, thus there isn't any reason to completely stop gambling because my area of interest in gambling is soccer thus I bet on few matches with a reasonable odds while staking with small fund i.e money I can afford to lose having known the implications of gambling addiction, when you know what you are going as a gambler whether win or lose I move on and I always tried to be profitable in a long run bearing in mind that losses is inevitable.

many gamblers have a hard time getting out of their addiction. even spending more on assets owned than what they produce.
that is a bad example, and you are an example that has gotten better at managing your interest in gambling. self control will be very important for gamblers. play consciously and not out of control. now everything is very accessible. with money in hand and online tools, everything can be gone in a matter of hours.

That is the sad thing right there and it's much easier to say things than doing it as personally, I had the same experience way back almost a decade ago. I used to do almost every sorts of gambling and haven't reflected on myself much earlier that's why I haven't notice that I was already too deep than what I expected because consciously, everything is normal to me but in reality, it isn't.

Just don't give up mate, there's still a light at the end of a tunnel. We all have our downside and it's much better to seek help to help us save ourselves.

Never. I mean I was never addicted to gambling in the first place so stopping myself was never an issue. It is all about your self control. The moment you lose that you can become addicted to anything. Alcohol, smoking, drugs, gambling, computer games... Any of those bad habits can hurt you financially if you are not careful with what you are doing. I still gamble but I never ever risk big money. It is because if I lose that money that would make me very upset. I would rather use that money to invest in something which is far more productive thing to do.

There's a saying about being a gambler, stays to someone's blood until he or she fully changed. We find something in gambling that makes us happy and even if we're losing, it doesn't matter. As long as we're satisfied and our cravings to gamble has been given, that's the only thing that we want to see. And to answer the question about how many times did I attempted to quit, well, they were like tons of times and I can't count them. Whenever I lose, I'll tell that I quit but tomorrow I'll be back so I'm sure that something like happens to all of us.

I guess that’s the spirit of gambling to keep our excitement and stay enthusiastic despite of the losses we endure at the end of the day. That’s the reason why gambling should be a good source of entertainment rather than to see it as another source of income. And yes, I have promised a lot of times to finally quit from gambling but look at me now, still gambling with the amount I can afford to lose. And for me that’s never an issue, as long as I’m still responsible of my losses and I still manage myself not to fall for deep addiction in gambling.

You've just been carried away by your emotions, which is why you keep saying you'll quit. I think all of us shouldn't gamble when we are very emotional, as sometimes our decisions are not good and we get easily irritated. There is nothing wrong with it as long as you still have control over yourself, like not going over your budget when gambling. Saying it is just the way we express our feelings, and it can ease our feelings, which is why we say it.

how many times have you intended to stop gambling?

Seen a lot of topic similar to this. Well, if you're not doing something to keep yourself away from gambling, then I guess you're not actually trying or have some intentions to truthfully stop gambling. Most of the time, 95%, you can't do it on your own. The more you resist, the more tempting it gets to keep betting. So, it doesn't really make sense holding yourself back from gambling, when you're actually craving for it, unless your super serious in total putting a stop into your gambling habits, then you should enroll yourself into some activities, like going to gym, that's keeping you busy during your free time.

almost every time I lose I always want to stop but to be honest the more I want to stop gambling the more difficult it will be so let's just say playing gambling is for fun at least when losing doesn't hurt too much

The feeling that you feel is almost always experienced by other players, always wanting to stop under any circumstances, be it when you lose or when you win, but indeed gambling is an activity that is always tempting, especially if the player always focuses on the results that can be obtained and chases wins and also always there are funds available to be used, but we should be able to control not only because of the funds but also when we are unable to control ourselves it can affect other activities that must be carried out because we just always want to play
