In general, if you quit gambling, that's for your good. It means you are out of risk of losing. However, it is also true that if you quit, you would also lose all chances of winning, of hitting the jackpot, of possibly recovering your losses. But those are mere possibilities. If you take your chances at those possibilities, it means you will also risk losing more. So it's either you can recover or your losses will grow further.
Technically, the expression is right, but not worth taking. I'd rather advise those who want to quit gambling to just do it, quit. The expression is like the gambling joke here which says if you are not lucky with the money you got from pawning your car, try your motorcycle, the luck might be there. But if you're not, try your television set, who knows it's where your lucky money is. If you're still unlucky, try pawning your refrigerator, you might be lucky there. This goes on and would include your house, your lot, and your other properties.
While the joke has logic and is correct in one way or another, there are priorities. And as reasonable people, gambling is the least of them.
Topic: If you quit that's when you lose! - page 9. (Read 976 times)
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.
The meaning is very deep, even more than gamblers think. Maybe this can also be interpreted provocatively. And a gambler who has not been able to manage himself well in gambling will easily swallow this sentence. Dan felt that it was too early to quit and should have continued, who knows who would have won the next turn. And so on until they become addicted to gambling. This provocative sentence is only one of the triggers because in fact there are many other things that make it difficult for someone to quit gambling.

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?
You know this quote as you put it has been memed out in ironic meme pages on Twitter and Facebook. Something along the lines of "99% of Gamblers quit before getting their big win, don't be one of them" which is funny but also stupid at the same time. It's supposed to be a tongue in cheek remark at how most gamblers wouldn't have the capacity to stop gambling cause they keep chasing that win when as a matter of fact avoiding losses is just as important. Anywho, the statement's not correct, it's stupid and is a quote that fuels/encourages these already addicted gamblers to push through their limits even more when they could've just avoided the losses in the first place and go home at least able to save something for themselves or their families. No one should follow it at any costs.

winning and trying out to chase their losses and trying out to break even.Its sad but this had been the common scenario on which people would really be experiencing on which on the time that they would quit
then this is the time when they are losing that much on which coming into a point that they had already messed up entirely their lives before they do able to realize it.
Quit or stop if you cant be able to afford to lose more, continue if you do decide to play for fun and leisure.It all matters on your perspective because not all would really be
going in line with that intent.
In gambling Quitting is a very good and strategic thinking because we all know that not all the time we put our bet we always the winner. So if we quit that's not mean we are the loser but we quit because we have the professional mindset. And also I do believe that those gambler who have a discipline in their self then they are the victorious.
And we must also remember that we gamble for fun and not for profit.

In my opinion it's totally wrong, because it sounds like "chase your losses until the end" to me.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?
Yes, there are similar sayings here in our country to inspire confidence on the person, but I've never heared such sayings being used towards gambling, specifically. We tend to say these things when we want to encourage someone to not give up a challenge or difficult they are facing on their private, professional or financial life.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?
These sayings don't affect me on the gambling matter. I know my limits, and nobody else. To say this to a gambler sounds more like a challenge than an encouragement. When people want to challenge each other here in our country they tend to appeal to masculinity. If the person retreats, it means he isn't a man for real... But that is all bullshit which influence only the weak minds.

That's a rediculous statement and I live by this one "you have to know when to hold them and when to fold them". Quiting isn't losing, continuing to lose is losing lol. Chasing bad bets one after another is literally the reason why people go belly up. If you lose move on there's another day.
I would say that quitting is actually booking your profits in case you are on the winning side and also quitting your game means saving you from more loses in case you are already losing.
Usually in gambling people think that it is an art if you are able to quit and also if you know to quit, means that you are not an gambling addict.
If you keep on playing and do not think of quitting, then for sure you will lose all your balance / money in gambling.
My opinion is that one is supposed to be mature enough not to let oneself get influenced because the opinion of others, specially when comes to something as personal as one's money and how it is supposed to be used.
I believe that every gambler ideally should be aware at least at some minimal degree on how the laws of the numbers and probabilities work, because there is no scientific proof or consensus that to continue to play indefinitely would eventually translate onto profit, not even mention a life changing jackpot.
It better just to keep expectations low and enjoy the experience of gambling itself, even better if it is shared with family and friends.

definitely this is a very wrong thought and many people make this mistake in business because they think that giving up is a weakness when in fact the person needs to be strong and very courageous to know when to give up, in the case of games of chance this sentence does not work It makes little sense because we all know that gambling like lottery and casino games depend on luck, so it's something that is out of the players' control, so every player should play just for fun, nothing more than that. the player when he puts the money in the casino then he must be aware that that money will not return anymore
the chances of him coming back are very low, so with that thought there will be nothing to think about giving up because from the beginning he is playing just to have fun, he has no expectations, of course in the future that person can stop playing, it is very different from giving up because you were disappointed or thinking that you shouldn't give up because you still have hope that one day you will win a jackpot, I see that lottery players are the people most likely to think that they shouldn't give up, that's why I easily see people with more 10 years old playing the lottery every day

There's a thread that wants gambler to quit and there goes this thread that has a quote in your hometown encouraging people not to quit or else, they're losers.
I will not allow someone to get on touch with my decision because I am already a grown up and I know what's best for me. Either someone says that gambling is terribly bad and I may lose a lot of money.
I knew that from the very start but I am not that type of gambler that will allow it to happen.

Not all quitters are winners and not all winners are quitters. Perhaps if you're into deep into gambling, quitting might actually be winning for you. You get to prevent a lot of unnecessary spending and a lot of possible negative emotions that may arise during your next gambling sessions.
It shouldn't be taken too literal, and that's what everyone should take into account. Quitting something doesn't automatically default you to a loss and that's what people should understand more.

very well-said. this is a very subjective one. for most, quitting is winning as they can put their money to more worthwhile investments and they can focus on what they want to do in life to be a better version of themselves.
i guess most people will agree to totally quit on gambling and live their life outside of it.

Thats completely wrong perspective on gambling. Very few get lucky whereas the majority end up losing their entire funds. Gambling isn't the right place where we should carry the never give up mentality. A statements is misleading when the outcome of the statement doesn't suits with the majority. If I'm not wrong those people who describe those terms to be successful were the people appointed to promote gambling in those region. If not, they're people who are gamblers who want to make others experience what they've experienced.

The moment I read this I already had a judgement on just how dumb the idea is. I reckon the idea came because people can't know the future, so until you try you'd never know what may actually happen. The thing is, this directly invalidates a person's capability of making their own judgment, especially in this case where you've already tried, but you won't quit cause well, you never know, it "may" actually just work. Decide for yourself, use your own judgment. You're losing? That's fine, but again, decide for yourself. You're winning? The same thing, decide for yourself. Just don't let dumb sayings sway your decision-making (and greed), especially in gambling. It's for entertainment, treat it like one.

It depends on the circumstances that surround the decision because sometimes quilting also means bravery at least to save yourself some stress and cool off most especially in gambling because if you don't quit some time you experience two things which are.
1: is either you slide into addiction trying to chase a win at some point or trying to recover your losses and this ultimately results in possible addictions.
2: you keep losing more since your mental health will be affected due to incessant record of loses.

^ My own opinion is, in many cases, quitting gambling after consistent losses can be a wise decision to protect one's financial well-being and mental health. It is important to recognize the potentially addictive nature of gambling and the negative consequences it can have on individuals and their relationships. Responsible gambling involves setting limits, knowing when to walk away, and seeking help if gambling becomes problematic.Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement?

I am thinking that gambling cultures and traditions differ across regions, and there may be localized sayings or expressions used among gamblers. These statements can range from superstitions to motivational phrases aimed at urging gamblers to stop when they are losing based on what I see them.
Lol I mean do people really contemplate this saying as having some sort of deep meaning in their "gambling space"? I mean I could walk in to a Casino tomorrow with $10,000 dollars and play a few slots, maybe some blackjack, or some roulette, maybe bet a few sports games and then walk out of the casino with $110,000 and decide to quit gambling forever. Well then technically I'm still up.
I kind of joke and understand what you mean, but as always, just only ever gamble with funds you're willing to lose.
