You have already lost when you lose your money. And if you stop gambling, you have lost and it is difficult to recover from that loss. It's just a statement that has grown among gamblers so they think that if they don't stop, they can still have a chance to win. But it's not as easy as we imagine because the defeat will remain beside the victory we can't always get. I don't think it's a problem for us because if you want to stop, you should be able to stop and not have to think about any statements. After all, it's your money and your responsibility. Why should you care about all the statements that develop in gambling?

Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?
Yeah, I think it's a popular mantra by die hard gamblers, but if you look at it, very wrong to me. I mean you can quit when you are still on top and had money in your wallet. So who would like to go to sleep without money and losing big?

And obviously, since this is gambling, we really don't know what the outcome will be. There could be someone who thinks YOLO and go all in. I can't blame him/her for that. But if you are going to used logic here, it's better to go home while you are in the positive side.

Brother, not with gambling, this is not something that needs your every might so that you can be the next jackpot winner tomorrow,  chasing this will even get you no where fast, gambling is something you need to participate in for fun, it's not something worth dreaming about, jackpot you say? Don't quit and keep losing for eternity, some people have been in gambling since 2013 and till date, they never hit the jackpot, They have some luck but the amount is just something called a win, not life-changing.

If you are the type that doesn't like giving up on something, please don't let it be gambling, not giving up on something means you believe you will get something out of it, make sure you are not trying to make it big with gambling, you will get yourself killed by depression and other.

Don't give up on trading, because it's skill-based.

Don't give up on investment because it needs discipline.

These are still better than something that entirely depends on luck, two sides of a coin and you have one side to pick, the chances are too slim.

There's a popular  remark among gamblers in the part of  my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose".  They use this statement to encourage and give futuristic hope to themselves that no matter how much they loss today or how many wagers they have lost they don't need to quit as it's possible you may be the next jackpot winner tomorrow. For it's like say don't quit yet there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

From what I observed from this statement is that, many of these gamblers have been misled by this very remark of a hypothetical hope which has liquidated their account.  While some who would have quit gambling long ago still hedge their hope on the idea behind the statement and keeps wagering.

Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?

AFAIK, day traders had a similar statement. "If you sell, that's when you lose." Maybe day trading has some similarities with gambling.
This is clearly a delusion. Gambling isn't supposed to be about winning or losing. It's supposed to be about having fun, escaping from your everyday problems, relaxing and chillin. The moment you start thinking about making money via gambling that's when you have already lost.
I wouldn't allow my decisions to be influenced by anyone else(especially when it comes about personal finance and how I spend my money).

Not entirely correct although the reason to quit is because of losing is more higher than quit when profit.

If the gambler can't quit when they already make some profit, they will end up quit in losing because the longer you gamble, the higher chance you will lose due to house edge. You need to set up a realistic winning first, like quit after double or triple your money, if you quit only when you hit the jackpot, almost of your gambling activity will always in lose.

Not intended for gambling.
In any game, this sentence is said to players or athletes when the position is about to give up with the aim of fueling enthusiasm.
The purpose of this statement requires us to continue fighting. If used in gambling, then that person will continue to spend all his wealth into gambling.

One of the mindsets of rich people in living their lives is to avoid gambling.

I think as a gambler if you are doing exactly what people says, you are making a mistake. Gambling to me is like cheating in life. You understand what I mean. Anyways yeah, we have some sayings about gambling. People sometimes say that not gambling is a win already. Sadly as many cultures, anti-gambling sayings are more common. But I think "you lose when you quit" is very dangerous mindset that I wouldn't follow.

Actually it's the other way around.

In gambling you can not win, and if you win you will most likely lose it back. I am not talking about a skill game like poker where you can actually have an edge against other players.

When you play against the house, there is no way in the long run.

So, quitting is the only way to win to be honest. People are chasing losses and dig a deeper hole by doing so. Just moving on with your life and quit of course doesn't bring you back the money you lost but will prevent you from burning more. It sounds harsh but it's the truth.

" If you quit  that's when you lose!" is something casino managers or people that want you to play would say just to keep you playing. Not more and not less.

It is good advice to follow if you want to lose all your money and more, or even go into debt and lose what you borrow.

It is some of the biggest nonsense you can hear in gambling, where whoever says it and whoever believes it doesn't understand anything about probability, nor does it follow the basic principles that apply to gambling: play for fun, or entertainment and with money you can afford to lose, do not place false hopes in gambling.

Gambling is played by some as a hobby while others take it as a profession. The saying applies to those who take up gambling as their profession. Gambling is an addiction of greed. Those who are direct gamblers will continue to gamble until they can withdraw the money once they lose. As the saying goes,if you can't do it once,it has happened hundreds of times. As I said above those who make gambling their profession will never quit gambling. You will see gamblers who after losing money take many loans and then gamble sometimes stop gambling for 2/3 months and start gambling again. The statement is true for those who are actually gamblers. This statement would never happen to me or you because if you or I gambled for a day or two and lost it would not encourage us because a fear must act inside us. There are people around me whom I influence in various ways to stop them from gambling.

Is it really among the gamblers alone or its just a life quote which is generally used to Motivate career of individuals like when someone thinks that they could become an inventor of something that they are dreaming where it is more relevant but to "gambling the statement is irrelevant" and I would say anyone have that kind of agenda are stupid or severely addicted to bet and use these kind of words to hide from the shame of others.

For gambling it should be you can also stop when you win and you doesn't have to wait for hitting the jackpot to quit, you are safe when your risk appetite is under control and you are not burning any more money than you are supposed to do.

how I wonder where do you live? because it seems that every people in your community or at least majority is gambling addict .
imagine you have that kind of saying? if you don't quit then you will lose more than quitting earlier.

There will always be encouraging quotes that people can misunderstand as applicable to them to give them solace. The statement is correct but not applicable to gambling if you ask me. In gambling you should know when to pause, slow down, give it a break or possibly quit if you notice the dangers it is causing you, your finance or your family.  Gamblers who have a problem slowing down or stopping to gamble use statements like this to give themselves some kind of consolation and motivation to continue gambling even when it is putting them at risk. It should not be so.

Every profession or sector has different motivational words that help members to keep moving regardless of diverse setbacks. I like your country's popular saying. "If you quit that's when you lose " will help bettors have hope that the future will be better. It encourages us not to lose hope or harm ourselves because of today or past losses because tomorrow might favor us. But these words could contribute to gambling addiction. There is always a time to evaluate our gambling life to check if we need to stop, reduce or continue gambling. And the truth is that there is no guarantee that the future will be better in gambling. I appreciate this adage but we have to still apply wisdom and knowledge to our gambling life.

I don't know any popular statement that gamers use to encourage themselves in my area. But I will not allow any public sentiment or popular saying to determine my gambling life without proper evaluation of the statement. I will not move with the crowd until I am sure that they are moving in the right direction. If a popular saying is positive, I will gladly apply them, but if they are not beneficial, it will be ditched.

This phrase is not applicable to all. Just imagine you already lost a million dollars and someone told you this. For sure, you'll be pissed off. This only applies to something that you dreamed of and not only based on luck, like saving to buy a Bitcoin and also other life stuff, because it can boost your motivation and really you can achieve it, unlike in gambling where you'll lose more for sure.

That statement was coming from someone who is being obsessed with winning the jackpot caused by they can't accept their loss. It's not like that. As a smart gambler and you shall also be aware if there is a time when you are able to win and accept your loss. It's not about when you quit and you were losing the game.
You can comeback anytime to play that. The main reason if you must be able controlling your emotion. I can't agree with it caused because if there will always be a time for you to win the game. That being said that no matter how big you losses and you will always get another chance to win it again.
I can't relate with that statement. Anyone can play gambling but it's not anyone can become a smart gambler who can read the situation. You are also having your real life. You can play gambling normally without even ruining your life.

I think that if that statement was coming from someone who is being frustated caused by they are feeling so hard in accepting the loss in the game. Take it easy.

Will people still call you as a looser after you won a jackpot?

I used to hear this a lot when I used to actively play in gambling shops.

Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement?
it is somewhat true, I mean if you continue to gamble there is still a chance that you could win a jackpot or be on a winning streak and earn back all your losses and possibly be in profits, while if you quit, you lose that chance of winning back the money you have lost to gambling. that being said, continuing to gamble will most likely lead to more loses and in the end you will be in far worse situation than before.

Now, that's a crazy saying you got there, the complete opposite. Lol. When you quit that is when you can stop your losses. Gamblers in our community don't have saying whatsoever. They are just saying it's their habit and just go on even if they lose, that's gambling, it's a matter of luck, better luck next time, that's what I always heard from them.

Let's have a counter to that. "If you believe that saying, then you are a fool."

This is a big mistake because it leads to getting rekt or worst being an addict and doing bad stuff just to be able to get some money in any way possible. Quitting is setting yourself free from all of that and that includes the stress of playing all day and ending up just losing before the day ends.
Quitting also gives you more time for your family, more chores that could be done, being productive, and more.
It's actually the other way around, when you quit that's when you "win" not lose. We all know that the house would not let us win big money except if we are excessively lucky to hit a big pot and then walk away.

That statement would only give gamblers false hope, and in my country, there's no other similar statement and it's better that we don't have any because bettors need to be more aware.

I prefer to ignore them because i'd start to overthink if I allow myself to be affected by these statements. And gamblers should know that playing longer is what casinos want us to do because the longer we play, the more likely the house edge kicks into our gameplay.
