I never intended to stop gambling, but I often take a break whenever my session isn't doing that well. I never had a heavy loss since I only play with the money I can afford to lose. I may have consecutive losses but it is fine since I am playing with free money.

Yeah, I think it's smart to take a break from gambling when things aren't going good. I do that too sometimes. And it's important to always gamble responsibly and only use money you don't mind losing. As long as you only play with money you can afford to lose, no need to worry about big losses. But what do you mean you only play with free money? Do you never deposit? Then I wouldn't really call it gambling...

Taking a break from gambling should be a regular thing and practice for every smart gambler because when you gamble excessively you tend to lose control but by taking a break once in a while, it makes you more relax and independent and free to make the right decisions when and how to make a deposit and playtime.

Gambling is like trading, a member should have a stop loss point, that is when to stop when the dice is no longer in your favour, it is called discipline. Ww

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.

This is similar to those which after a night out in which they were drinking alcohol and they are suffering from a major hangover swear they are never going to drink alcohol again, and yet the very next week they are already planning on going out and consume alcohol again, those promises should be taken with a grain of salt since there was never any intention to fulfill them, only those which after thinking about the effects their behavior is having on themselves and the persons around them will make the commitment to stop consuming alcohol, drugs or gambling and make a real attempt to stay away from those activities.

If you love watching sports and in the same time you like to bet on it, then it's very hard to completely stop on it, until you have nothing left. I tried to stop every time I got big lost, but when I watch a sport, I feel like I have good feeling on it and it would be a waste if I don't bet lol. I cant stop it but I can reduce the amount of my stakes, and sometimes I dont watch some matches.

it's not just a phrase that comes from people who experienced a big loss. I've heard the same phrase "I'll stop gambling after this" from gamblers who won a sizable amount of money, they usually go back to gambling again after a week or so. I have a feeling that their reason for gambling again despite them saying they'll stop is because they think they will be lucky again just like the last time but the majority of the time they don't.

I also hear this phrase but saw the one saying it quit for a while then sometime later go back to gambling while others just quit completely. I think the losses triggers the gambler to say this thing and those who came back gambling again doesn't really mean they will quit but rather means they will take a break.

I never intended to stop gambling, but I often take a break whenever my session isn't doing that well. I never had a heavy loss since I only play with the money I can afford to lose. I may have consecutive losses but it is fine since I am playing with free money.

We should always consider gambling what we can afford to lose in order for us to not get affected by gambling losses and get a problem on financing side.

Again a friend of a friend...

I think that what we should do is, for example, look at your betting habits, what and where you are betting...

In any case, it is pathetic to think that you are an addict because you are a loser, it is a myth to think that those who constantly lose money are addicts, it is a fallacy, the addict is only interested in gambling, it is the pleasure that catches him.

One should leave the game at any time, even if it is not habitual, regular, recreational, etc.

Then, occasionally You have to say the phrase "I have not bet for a long time", if you have never done it, so, "it may be" that you are a candidate for addiction, nah! but whatever, please! you can spend about $100 on a specialist, seriously, an expert psychologist on the subject can clinically detect it.

Perhaps it is the best money spent that one can take to bet on a result, it is a life ROI that is worth doing.

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.

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.

This post has brought back memories from my past and my entire history as a gambler. I flash back the one time I used money budgeted for something else to gamble thinking I could double it because I was going through a rough patch in life and needed money terribly.
After that incident, I had a deep personal reflection. I knew tot wasn't who I was and almost came to the conclusion to stop gambling but I enjoy it so much and it make me unhappy quitting. So, instead I decided to become intentional and disciplined about it. It's one of the best decision I have ever made.

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.

Gamblers who often lose will surely make a lot of complaints until they decide to just stop gambling because it’s not healthy for them after all. But everytime they start winning again, their decision changes instantly. Instead, they want to bet more so they can chase their previous losses, and win much bigger profits. Until we see them losing again and promise to quit already gambling, but after that day there they are gambling again trying their luck, hoping to win this time.

For now I don't think about quitting gambling because I don't really have any problem with gambling currently, I only gamble for fun or when am bored, I don't gamble frequently so am not really addicted to gambling, I will start thinking about how to quit whenever I noticed that am beginning to be addicted to gambling which I don't think it will happen. If someone have been addicted to gambling, it's always difficult to quit, must addicted gamblers really want to stop but they can't, even if they try they will still endup going back to it.

You’ll hear this one from a gambler who experienced a lot of losses but still ended up playing the other week. Since I’m also an occasional gambler, i didn’t try to stop gambling because I’m on a budget every time I gamble and I know the risk of losing the money which makes me more responsible. Its hard to stop gambling if you are already exposed to it, you can just limit your playing time though.

A very common word indeed on which i had experience it a lot of time for myself that i would be quitting gambling for good but on the time that rage deep inside you would be wiped away or on the time that you do make out some next bet winning then those frustrations and anger would be wiped away on an instant and this is why they would really be just forgetting on what they had experience earlier on which it would be an endless cycle for most gamblers where they would be continuing to play if they wanted to and this is where there's no stopping on playing into those people who arent really that good when it comes
to self control.

I am not really sure on how many times I tried to stop gambling on casinos but I am successful at dojng it since then and it's been a month already that I didn't gamble on casino. I won't be sure if I really stop or I should say really really stop gambling. There are times before where I stop gambling but not for too long which I gamble again and then stop again and later gamble again until O finally stop and as I have said it's been a month since then. Honestly, I haven't thought of that how many times and if I did gamble again then I think I should try to count how many times IF I start gambling again.

I haven't thought about stopping gamble, in the sense that I only gamble with a specific amount of money,which I do budget from my monthly income. Another thing I see,is that I entertain myself when am gambling therefore, I see gambling as fun. Weekends is when I give more time to gambling. Someone who intends to stop gambling must have his own personal reason to do that,which might not be the same as others.

There are times that I’m thinking to stop gambling because I realize that I’m just wasting my time and focus on trading instead but since I don’t gamble that much, it didn’t push through and I’m still gambling if there’s still an extra money. It’s true that its not easy to quit gambling but if you are already addicted to this, you must do everything to avoid gambling and save yourself from drowning. Being responsible can be a big help, make sure you are gambling within your means and you just want to have fun.

I never had such intentions... I had/have moments when I decide not to play some games ever again, then months (or years) go by without playing that game, but somehow I always come back at some point. With a new approach and different strategies, at least I like to think it's like that.

I have periods when I don't gamble for different reasons... because I don't have enough time or money, anyway it's not like something disturbing for me. I learned to be patient and wait for "my moment". I guess that comes with age and experience... Gambling should be fun and entertaining, I will never stop gambling probably, but I learned to control my temper a lot compared with myself in my 20ies, and probably early 30ies!

A very common reaction and words to be said for those someone who are really just experiencing consecutive loss on which you would really be definitely saying that you would be stopping completely which it would really be that not that true most of the time on where you would be playing once again if you do see some opportunity on doing so.Self control is the main issue of most gamblers on where they do really fail out
on doing so.If they do quit then they should mean it and not just on the time that you do suffer huge loss or long consecutive.Its not that surprising anymore and we know that
each person does have its own level of tolerance when it comes to this one.

I think if you want to stop you need to stop, i know this sound like the same with other words, but not.

If your mind and body tell you from the inside STOP no matter for what (most probably for losing money, or maybe time), you need to quit the gambling and re think all yourself and life, because you were hooked and you can fall more.

Clearly. If you want to stop doing something and continue doing it, you definitely have a problem. I think a lot of people lean on addiction to explain their problems as well, but to me that’s a cop out. Nobody forces you to do things you don’t want to do. If you keep gambling when you know you should stop then you are just a weak minded individual who lets their greed control them. Just quit cold turkey if you need to. Quit listening to people who sympathize with what you’re going for a take some responsibility for your actions.

That's the power of addiction, when one is addicted to gambling it doesn't just become easy for one stop immediately after making decisions. It takes the grace of God and total self agreement to conquer gambling. People who are addicted are willing to stop after making their decisions but in few time they have urge for gambling becomes active in them and if one is not strong enough to overcome the urge they will definitely fall to it and go back to gambling. It is important every gambler get to know their is addiction in gambling and get a limit to play gambling not to get addicted.
