Topic: Is it really possible to quit on these reasons - page 6. (Read 687 times)

This is correct and only we can do it. If we are really determined to quit gambling, we must start with ourselves regardless of what are those reasons we are waiting for before quitting. There are different things that a gambler can lead in stopping gambling and we don't know the specific reason for that.

Let's always hope for the best when doing gambling as it not just as money at risks here but also our social life and relation to our families.

Impossible for me to quit after that. There's a feeling that I like to win again that huge amount.

I will be responsible though how to spend that big money but it doesn't mean I will quit because of that.


Where did you read that's the most popular reason for some people to quit?

That's the other way around as once a gambler loses a huge amount, they will try to recover that loss no matter what.


Then basically, you are not stopping to do gambling here but instead just gambling on casual. It's a good option.


Even wife will ask their husband to quit gambling, is it really can be followed?

If the gambler really determines to do gambling, he will do it regardless if his wife will stop him or not.

Out all of those options, the hardest time to quit is when you have just won I think.  From pure self will with no encouragement to walk away at this point, its all solely on the person as a personal choice.  Hence that is the strongest of the 4 in terms of will power, I would believe this person as most probable to be resolute over other options.     I would be looking for a winning streak after 1 win I'd like more to counter my prior losses so I wont or have never done this.  Surely everyone likes to think they only quit when no win is coming, that would appear smartest.  

  Its very hard to know which time is best to walk away or continue, the wife option I kinda disbelieve maybe a temporary quit due to forced reasoning however much you like your wife.    Being forced to quit when stumped by a big loss,  a cessation from necessity does not count imo; a few will not come back but a vast majority this is only a temporary stop when there is no choice in your decision.

Everyone could quit gambling if they would want to; it is just a matter of self- discipline. Greed and money are the main factors why a gambler continues to play. Best thing to do is diversion of activity. Find something that would consume your time and eventually it would replace the hours you are spending in gambling activities. Make friends as well who are not into betting because if you will be still surrounded by people who are into it, you'll surely have a hard time to get over it.
Losing a huge amount, to some people, is enough to give up on something but there are people who will get more drive from such instance or to simply play more. Likewise with winning big time.

I think you can quit gambling at any point really, it's all in your mind.

Personally I think the best time to quit gambling is when you just won.

I think the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reasons goes more than the first would ever go.
Let's look at someone like Drake most of all. He's got all that he wants from his career and by that am saying, money is hardly his problem, he has lost huge and at the same time, won huge but still, he continues to gamble. What might his purpose be?

Perhaps it's it's deal his got with stake.com to keep the gambling going or maybe he just having fun while trying out his luck.

Winning huge is hardly any reason. It might be a reason for a day to end the session and try again tomorrow, same with loses but to quit gambling, I doubt that. Most huge wins are seen as lxuky money, extra cash and so, you just want to use it as you want. What better way would that be than to try and win more. Eventually, you end up sending it right back to the house. Some addictive path gamblers take.

Only if others will end up with the same as yours.

Unfortunately, losing a huge amount might trigger the desire to gamble more to chase the loss. That's the reality for most gamblers. The eagerness to recover that amount will just be fueled more because the loss amount is really big.

To quit gambling, there's no other way but to become dedicated to doing so.

I think it is quite the opposite. Instead of quitting, you might actually get hooked to gambling. If you are a first timer, then that is a good hook. If you are an old-time gambler, it is just additional fund to gamble more. Winning a big amount is not a good deterrent to gambling.


This is possible unless you are an addicted gambler. NO number of losses can deter you from gambling. Instead of quitting, you will find more money to fund your gambling addiction. That is how addicts bankrupt their resources. But I think not so many are like this. I for sure, if accrued a very large lost will stop gambling. At least for a while.

This is a case-to-case basis. It depends on the person if he has the will to quit gambling. Others do not have the will to control their habits or addiction. You are lucky if you are one of the people who have the will to control their gambling habits or quit it totally.



This could help #3 especially if the wife is very supportive of you. But if she is just going to nag you about gambling, I think the result will be the opposite. Many men hate to be nagged by their wives, but some are willing to change because of their wives when properly approached, supported and guided.

I pick the it happens to me before I really quit but only to come back as a much better gambler, losing a huge amount and quitting right away is good for your mental health, it made you realize your mistake and become better the next time you come back, I quit, but back again after two weeks with good control of my urge.
Every time I am on the brink of losing my control I just remember the pain of losing huge.

Honestly, treating your gambling activity shouldn't end up on too much technicality.

It's really not necessary to quit as long as you are disciplined and responsible. Gambling is not that bad if you managed to play it right.

If quitting is really a must, then no choice but to help yourself and aggressively force yourself to stop gambling for good.

You can when you lose a huge amount
People do usually quit when they do experience this thing which is really just that typical.How you would be able to play if you dont have money to be spent?
Its indeed impossible for someone to quit when they are still on the verge of winning times or moments which you would be mainly thinking that you should play
even more and hoping for more winning hits which it is a typical gambler mindset where it do really pushes you or motivate you on playing even more.
YOu wont stop as long you do have the money you could pull into your pocket and this had been always the case.

Very possible if you have the drive and the courage to do so. Most of the time, our only enemy agains this is ourselves and our self-control. Since gambling is one of the actovities that we always do, it will be quite hard to break it even if we use one of the mentioned triggers to stop playing because we think that it's okay to still play one last game.

I'd probably stop if I can spend weekends on an entirely different activity that will make me engaged and hooked at all times.

when getting a big win a gambler is actually very difficult to stop gambling. because whatever happens as long as the gambler still has money and is tempted by something that makes him want to get into gambling again, surely he will return to gambling soon.
i say this because i myself have experienced when i got a big win from esports betting and after that i chose to stop for a few months from gambling but in fact i went back to betting tempted by the ongoing match and hoping to get a big win again (like greedy)

it's the opposite of a big win.
when gamblers have started to lose a lot of money from gambling they look restless and immediately stop not to gamble anymore. but it doesn't stop there. the gambler stops for a moment and thinks about recovering the losses from the gambling and in the end he will immediately sell the valuables he has to gamble again and return the previous losses without realizing that it will be even worse to lose more money.
(i think you better add some words "lost money and all valuables" i would prefer this)

for this it seems difficult for some gamblers. as you said and i answered above. when a gambler gets a big win, he is even quicker to return to gambling, while a gambler who loses a lot of money will return to gambling by selling his valuables and hoping for his loss to come back.
so it's hard to say stop anytime i want before the money and valuables run out

some gamblers already have a wife and some do not have a wife. and i myself already have a wife who knows that i like to gamble.
when i gamble my wife knows what i'm doing and she doesn't want to limit my enjoyment. because my wife knows if i gamble just to fill my spare time after work.
but my wife once told me "you are free to play gambling but must know the minimum limit of money that must be bet, the minimum limit of your money runs out, immediately stop continuing tomorrow again"
so for this option i will not choose

i would choose the option "you can when you lose a big amount" but add a few words "and also all valuables"
for me the gambler will really quit after losing all his money and valuables. because if that has happened, surely the gambler will be depressed and immediately stop gambling

"You can when you won a huge amount"
This is not easy, rarely gamblers can do it. When winning big every gambler want more, and more. But not all people because it depends on the character too.
"You can when you lose a huge amount"
It's not that simple, even when loses huge amount at gambling, we will out of control and will try again next.
"You can anytime you want"
Honestly I can, because I doing a gambling with full awareness, but for addicts this is difficult.
"You have to when you're wife tells you to"
I don't believe this, because so far if the hobby is prevented it will be crazier.

I think I'm familiar with the thread that you are referring and as I have said there, no, it might be difficult to quit because you win big, on the contrary, as per my experience, you wanted more and so you comeback and play.


Again, I will answer base on my experience, maybe I quit like a month or so after a huge lost. But when everything settles down, and I have a capital in my hand and totally rejuvenated, then I will go back again.


Of course, it's all in our mind, maybe if you have enough push within you, might quit for good.


What if your wife is also a gambling?  it could be a very difficult situation for you and for her to stop gambling for good.

If you are really putting yourself in the right mindset to quit, you can do it anytime. No money needed if you don't want to spend it. As long as you're sure that you don't have a gambling problem, then there's no reason why you can't have a bit of fun with it. If your gambling is causing financial problems, then it might be time to take a step back and reevaluate your relationship with the casino. That's why it's important to have fun and enjoy yourself in the process instead of trying to win big.

In my opinion, you can quit anytime you want.
It is your will power and sheer determination that will guide you to change lifestyle.
Look for very good reason that you think can motivate you to change from your habits.
All the other individuals outside of you are just there to assist you with your change, but the main
actor of this change will be you only. If you decide to change, always remind yourself you are doing this for good.

You can when you won a huge amount
There's a discussion here of a guy who won a huge amount but added that he is quitting gambling is it really possible, anyone here have done quitting after winning a huge amount

You can when you lose a huge amount
This is the most popular reason to quit have you done this only to come back

You can anytime you want
Do you have the power to do it anytime that you want.

You have to when you're wife tells you to
I know a lot of guys who quit gambling for good after their wives tell them to, do you know of someone, or at one time you are one of them.

Let's discuss this and thank you for participating.
