Topic: Know when to stop - page 10. (Read 4606 times)

Nice reminder, some gambler don't even know when to stop gambling.
I just want to add up stop or take a break when gambling is affecting your daily life, or it is always on your mind even if you need to focus on other things.
Believe it or not there are people out there who are like that, even when they are working their mind is thinking about gambling.

For sure having that balance is very important, gambling is totally fine as long as you are going to control, limit, and do it in moderation so that you can enjoy and get entertained by gambling. Personally, it was really a huge enjoyment and entertainment especially if you are winning at the same time, but it wasn't really going to happen all the time because there are times that you are going to experience loss, I mean I shouldn't say this but you could totally grow your cash on gambling even though there are times that you lose, most of the time I mean in my experience I could win more than losing so that just means that I'm making money on it, maybe there is some kind of research or analysis involved, I do some kind of it on sports betting and Im really winning growing my initial capital, I already like the sport so it was already fun in the first place for me. But there are times that it can be a source of income as well in my experience, and that may be the best feeling of enjoying it and earning from it.

And yes, that hope is what makes someone able to survive gambling all night or even all day, sometimes he knows he has to stop but has great hopes because he has been playing for so long that maybe a big multiplier will come out and he will be the luckiest person, but that's just his hallucination that is made up of great hopes and never arrives until the money runs out not left.

I've also done it, from the evening until the morning continue to gamble, fortunately not losing and not winning, at that time I played on the slot and capitalized $200, and yes lose win and lose win, I really want to get a big win, but only given a small win, as well as the loss, and honestly at midnight I know I should sleep and stop but curiosity is still in my mind, which makes me continue playing until the morning, and my money only increased by $15.

You are totally correct that self-control is an essential component of gambling. It's not just about making money; it's also about understanding when to quit and looking after yourself and your finances. Gambling addiction is a serious issue that can wreck people's life if they lack the necessary self-control.
One of the factors that I feel can contribute to a lack of self-control is the "near-miss syndrome". This is when someone almost wins but falls short. It has been demonstrated that this can cause a type of do reaction in the brain, similar to what occurs when you actually win. This can cause people to get caught up in the excitement of almost winning, which can be difficult to break through from if not tackled immediately or early enough.

And expectation.
I think one gambler is not stopping because he is expecting something. I mean, that's the point of gambling for a long period of time. When we lose in a streak we think our chances of getting that huge multiplier are getting higher but that is totally wrong. It's just about the RTP. And I think we are actually lucky that RTP exists in the realm of online gambling. Because this doesn't happen in physical casinos. You lose, you don't have a chance even after 200 - 1000 bets. It will never give back like how it is in online gambling.
Then, we have the rake backs and the bonuses, weekly and monthly. Imagine if we could just play tag with online gambling or lose just a little bit of our capital. We can still be profitable because of their bonuses feature.

Indeed, that is the most important thing in gambling, of course we have to have self-control over the gambling we do, because if we gamble but don't have self-control then it is very likely that what will happen in the future is a big serious problem and of course that is not desirable. , but even though this must be avoided, there are still many people or gamblers who do not have self-control, they tend not to care about the risks involved in gambling, such as losing large amounts of money or other bad impacts.
I appreciate what you are doing by having restrictions on the gambling activities that you do, and I hope many people can imitate what you are doing. I think having these limits can help us a little bit so that our finances will not fall apart by having limits that have been set or separate rules such as adjusting the money for gambling to what you have, because of course we have needs that must be met so don't prioritize gambling in life.

   Like the topic above, it's indeed a good way to limit oneself from too much gambling, when you are a gambler limits your self from gambling you will also know what you were missing and what you have been loosing FG or long time.
   Knowing when to stop us a good idea because even when you have lost enough money on bet you would still have to stop because you have lost more money a bet.
   Anyway it's clearly stated that risk what you can afford to lose but that doesn't mean if you can lose your whole properties and money in gamble you should do it.
   For all I already know is, even when you are winning, a time will come when you might be tired of winning, I know this might sound weird but it's the real fact, when you are always winning in a whole day you might get tired and want to relax for a while.
   It's also the same as when you are eating your meal you will get satisfied and like to stop eating. So, same thing is applicable to winning while gambling.

Yes time is important in life, almost as much as money but not infrequently we find people who always waste time on things that are not really important to them which ultimately makes them regret in every way, I think we all know and understand that time will continue to run and will never be able to turn back, therefore it is always advisable to consider everything wisely before we jump into something that can drain our time and money, such as in the context of gambling.

On the other hand a healthy approach to gambling is when you have the intention of gambling when you have a fairly boring empty time without any activity and with that then I think it's fine if you want to gamble, but most people mistreat this activity which is where they over-prioritize gambling activities that really shouldn't be taken seriously because this will only waste too much of your time for basically negative results, one of the reasons is because gambling has absolutely no certainty whatsoever in terms of winning, so even if you spend most of your time it still ends up like most of the cases that have happened where they end up in a bad situation in terms of losing a larger amount of money instead of earning.

Speaking of differences, that's true there are many types of gamblers some may have that good control over their emotions and can manage the pressure, the chance of quitting before addiction triggers are better for those kinds of gamblers, while on the other side, there are many gamblers who can't withstand the pressure and instead of stopping they push their ways as both lust and desires already conquered their entire mindsets, they just want to gamble even their finances is already suffering, like what you mentioned to the point that they will loan money and do things unusal just to please their addictions.


A kind of emotion that will put you to suffer to more problems to come, if you can't handle that pressure and you keep following that emotion it will drive you to become addicted, and from that stand point there's no  control unless a self-will and a caring help from your love ones take care of you and help you to quit out from that kind of situation.

Yes, this has been one of the metro problem of gamblers whenever they are losing they feel like they want to get back what they have lost and they will keep on gambling gambling gambling and the process of putting more money. They keep on losing it feel like madness, because at the end of everything they will finally lose all the money they have got thinking that they are going to get back they lost. It’s not really that way and it won’t profit you if you continue on the process the only better thing is that when you find out that you are losing you just have to take a break and analyze before you start again.

Yes it is true that every gambler has a different way of treating their gambling activities, some are in a situation that is recommended by treating gambling correctly and some are treating gambling in a way that actually endangers their own safety in the long run, And yes every gambler has different stages in stopping their gambling activities or at least stopping for a break, and I think it's clear that when they are on the wrong path in terms of treating gambling that can harm themselves then obviously there is no stopping or resting for them, simply put they will stop when they have lost all the money they have at that time.

And if at that time the interest still has not faded or even become more aggressive based on a sense of revenge to restore something that has been lost then yes "borrowing" is one way that they might make an alternative to finance gambling activities in the next session which allows them to be under pressure when they end up in debt. However, it is typical of loser gamblers that they do not have a correct understanding of what gambling is really about, or simply they always want and expect to win but are not ready and unable to accept the consequences of losing at the end of the session, even though it is clear that in gambling it is always about winning and losing, meaning that it is normal for the session to end with a loss and not always about winning.

Yes, part of that is what it is about, for me it is much easier to do something like that than to try to control our emotions, we are people who will always be focused on winning money, before entering the casino, apart from looking for fun, I think the most It is important for people to win money, but like in everything, to be able to win you have to have money, so based on the fact that money calls money, in the casino things happen in a direction that is not very focused in our favor, it is Normally, a casino and a company and a business have to ensure their profits. First of all, the house edge is something we must play against, the complexity of the games too and the luck factor is something else, so that as a protection measure it is always good to have some money willing to lose to go and bet money that does not affect us in our lives, but if at that moment we lose that money, we cannot and should not deposit or have more money to bet, because That would be and would mean breaking our own rules, and if those rules are broken, it can generate a lot of lack of control of money, of emotions, and what is lost the most is money.

Some tips on how to control your emotions are great , but I think that at the end of the day, as a player you succumb to so many things that manifest themselves in the game, we would have to be robots to not let ourselves be affected by the emotions that the game brings with it.

After studying various scenarios of gambling addiction, I've concluded through my research that gambling constitutes a form of addiction, specifically, a behavioral one. Similar to substance abuse, people who engage in gambling can become addicted to the behavioral patterns, with gambling being a prime example.

I have noticed that many individuals derive pleasure from gambling as it activates dopamine receptors, providing a sense of happiness when they experience success. However, over time, this pleasure-seeking behavior can escalate, leading to dependency. Then you as the gambler will end up finding themselves unable to resist the urge to gamble, despite being aware of the negative consequences.

This highlights the adverse effects of gambling addiction. I agree with OP that there should be a self-imposed limit on gambling. Just as the circadian rhythm serves as a biological clock, signaling when to sleep, gsmblers should develop a similar internal mechanism to recognize when to stop gambling, especially when experiencing losses. My advice is crucial for any friend out there who is struggling with gambling addiction.

Don't jeopardized your chances of winning from gambling because money is essential. Losing and winning are achieved daily in the system, we just have to embraced the significant amount of hitting tougher phase and move to become profitable in the space. We're adults and we know the right thing to do when it comes to gambling. It's unwise decision to take gambling to be your priority because there's a whole lot to lose in the system. I've watch how these gambler's lose money to gambling because they feels it works according to their predictions.

Every activity must come, voluntarily or involuntarily, to an end. If a gambler doesn't want to respect himself and stop his gambling session, lack of funds will, involuntarily, end it. Gamblers have different stages of stopping the game, some may continue with loan, and end up being in debt. While others may not be able to withstand the pressure of being in debt, they go ahead to try illicit means of earning money to finance their gambling lifestyle. These types of gamblers are not exhibiting, properly, a good gambling behavior. Numerous losses barely help the player to have a rethink, instead he keeps on trying till all is lost. Including his joy and natural lifestyle.

Earning money would really be the most common thing that someone really be having in mind on the time that they would really be having in mind on the time that they do gamble.
I do only believe that people would really be doing for the sake of fun on the time that they would really be just that willing to lose up something and wont really be stressful on the time that its happening.We do know that only a few of those gamblers who do have that kind of mindset when it comes to playing games on which their aim and mindset would really be definitely
going after on how to make money and not for having some entertainment on which this has been always the common intent for most people.

Isn't it odd that we constantly returning to the discipline versus desire dilemma? Money management and time discipline in gambling are your broad strokes. Ah, the irony! Trying to do one without the other is like clapping with one hand; pointless, right? The experienced gamblers go far into the abyss, but how often do we see them gasp for breath before diving back down?

You say managing money and time is unusual. Why? Because ambition, that crafty devil, whispers just one more time into their ears. Not lack of information or expertise. It's about control illusion, right? The more they think they have, the less they do. The human imagination is a dangerous companion, promising mountains but coming up short.

What about society? It watches, with sympathy or disgust, as gambler after gambler falls into the same trap. Misconception: "I'm different; I can stop anytime". But time passes, money flows, and the cycle continues. Isn't it crucial that we focus on both the how and the why? Why gamble? Why is stopping hard?

I would not say that a gambler only gambles for entertainment, of course every gambler has an interest in earning money that we cannot ignore. But we can bring control there. Trying to make a small amount of money from gambling is not addictive. But some gamblers want to change their life by gambling, they want to move up from their positions quickly. Some gamblers are so greedy that they consider gambling as their main occupation to the exclusion of other activities. I have seen many who manage their gambling in their workplace as well. They consider money as a source of income. Of course gamblers should do anything within limits.

If you were able to achieve that in a slow process then I would say that you have a good future in sports betting. Discipline is very important and achieve in a slow process showed how discipline you are and patience in following your game plan. Most of sports bettors losses in the long run because they are not discipline, they want an instant or quick return of money hence it would result to not following the right bankroll management.

Having fun is important, and I'm glad you get that from gambling. Maybe try to be more ambitious, be consistent with sports betting until you become a pro. When you become a pro, you might end up quitting your job if you have any to focus on sports betting alone, personally that's my goal too so I'm happy to see if there are people making it.

I get your point, one of the most important things of all when it comes to gambling having the control on your gambling if you have control and you know how to limit your gambling it is not going to be a problem in the long run it is possible that it is just going to be one of your entertainment and also a possible source of income as well if you are lucky enough, I mean for sure not everytime your going to win on gambling but it could be a source of income as well for some gamblers.

Personally, I do limit my gambling a lot, monitor every move and budget, making sure that the money I'm using is just the money that I can afford to lose, and it is not going to be more than 5-10% of my enough so that even if I lose this money I could easily recover from it, I mostly just do sportbetting because this is where I have higher chance of winning and I really like NBA and basketball sports since I already like watching NBA its can easily be a good entertainment for me, plus gambling on it adds more fun on it. I only do around 10$ every bet and the winning could be around x2 or x2.5 which I think is already worth the risk so far I'm able to win a reasonable amount. Im able to grow my money to more than 400$ even though I only started on around 50$, I think that is a pretty good source of income and entertainment for me.
