Topic: Quit gambling today and lesson i learnt (lost 2000 usd today) - page 6. (Read 1013 times)

I don't understand, in the title of the thread you tell people to stop playing, but reading the content of the thread you mention your profits which seem to me to be good profits and looking at the content of your thread I don't see many negative aspects that are a big deal reason to stop gambling, unless you were taking cash you need urgently in the real world and using it to gamble, in that scenario I would understand that you need to stop gambling urgently. on the topic: "stop playing". people play for fun, there's nothing wrong with taking money and playing in a casino, that's part of every person's fun. It only becomes wrong when a person starts using money he needs in the real world to cover other needs like buying food, paying for water and electricity or renting a house. That's why we can't tell everyone to stop playing, that's not right


games such as roulette, which are games that depend on luck, are the type of gambling that people cannot create any kind of strategy, because they depend on luck and that is why people should play knowing that the money they are going to play at roulette is already lost, if by chance the person wins then he can celebrate but if the person loses then he has to accept that from the beginning it was already lost money

These theories about "attracting good luck" have been around for ages, and some people still believe in them, but the truth is there's no scientific basis for such ideas. Although the appropriate experiments were conducted many times in various laboratories around the world, no "energy" you are talking about was ever detected.


If you really make 2,000 USD per week, and it's not a bribe to your family member, a corrupt official, a bribe disguised as your salary, than I'm really happy for you because only a few people can make such money through an honest day's work. But I personally doubt you are one of them. Celebrating "With hookers champainge" is not what a smart and intelligent person would say about celebrating, in my opinion.

I think it is because of the opportunity, it is the opportunity to win xx money big short term. A lot of gamblers who already quit felt some urge to comeback to play gambling again but because of their greed and because they do not fully embrace the risks, it causes them emotional and financial disaster.

When you really want to comeback, you're not just taking the risks; you should embrace it wherein it doesn't resonate the slightest bit of emmomtional discomfort.

As long as their desire is stronger than to return to gambling, they will not return for any reason because they want to leave gambling. And if they can not return to gambling, they can gradually forget about gambling and use other activities to not think about gambling. And everything will depend on how strongly he wants to stop gambling and cure or eliminate the desire to gamble. Once he had really mastered himself well, even if he returned to gambling, he would be able to quit whenever he wanted because gambling would not attract him like before.

OP fantasizes too much about winning at roulette. He thinks it's very easy to do and just as easy to take the winnings and walk away. But gamblers lose and lose many times in a row. And I think from this scenario you need to strategize your game. First of all you have to think about losing, when you should stop and how much money you can afford to lose.

Reading your whole post it makes me think that you think that there is some long term winning strategy to roulette. There is only one way to win at roulette in the long run, that is to open up a casino and take bets on roulette where you will have the ultimate mathematical edge. You are not an expert at roulette, you might have learned the rules of the game and have that advantage over a brand new player, but beyond that you are still destined to slowly leak your money over time into the wallets of the casino bosses. Giving yourself some breaks or relaxation has no impact on how the roulette wheel performs. You have no special luck over the simple math involved which is rigged against you.

Off topic ... @Fishy001
but what do you do as a job?
I see that it is well paid ok also answer me in private / tips/suggestion

All jokes aside, it is normal not to be able to win consistently in a casino or games based purely on luck. Here remember that the house always has a mathematical / statistical advantage.
The more you play, the more likely they are going to win (the famous house edge).

This is why it is much more profitable to win with sports-related bets.
As I never get tired of saying, play for the pleasure of playing and not to earn / enrich yourself!

Stay where you are good at and if a decision you have wanting to quit then just do it for good. It may hard at the beginning and you'll feel that you're going to win back those losses and you might experience those huge wins again, just don't think of it.
Clear your mind and have yourself really set for quitting and don't ever go back again. But most gamblers tell that and eventually, they're coming back and playing again.

I absolutely agree with you, and judging by OP's post, he has problems with both greed and self-control. I have a feeling that he plays to win, not for fun, and it will not lead to anything good.

Most likely he is a millionaire or gets money very easily since he can afford to lose $1,000 in five minutes at the roulette table. It seems to me it is necessary to treat more restraint both to money and to gambling.

Here's where your reasoning goes south, because this is the exact reason why some people come back to play. They assume that there's money to be made in the first place  if they just leave early enough. Or if they haven't made money, they will make it next time. Reasoning to justify gambling, while only reason you would need is it to be fun.

Gamble for fun, especially with roulette and casino games, don't try to reason sense why you didn't make money or did make money.
If you thought you have figured out a system, just trust me; edge isn't on your side, only luck can be your side.

Also "winning energy bringing more wins" sounds superstitious, weird and fun, but there's as much logic behind that as leaving early.

There's no way that you would really be considering on quitting when you are in the verge of winning moment or condition which its impossible for someones mind to completely stop
which they do know that they are winning.Who doesnt really love to win even more money? considering that gambling is the fastest way on making huge profits but of course same goes
when it comes to losing.You cant really quit full stop on one go and most likely people would really be continuing on what they are doing.
People would eventually quit when they are suffering huge losses which is really a very common scenario.

Gambling addiction is mainly caused by greed and a lack of self-control. People that depend on gambling for income are also prone to gambling addiction. Quitting gambling is a good decision for does that have are addicts and not for those who view gambling as a form of entertainment.
Winning big might not be a good reason for quitting gambling except that was the gambler's target. But having a budget for your gambling adventure and the ability to be in control of your gambling behavior is the bedrock of an entertaining gambling life.

For me, there is always a limit to everything, but it depends on the circumstances of things, there are armature gamblers, seasonal gamblers and professional gamblers, in as much as we advice peeps not to depend on gambling as their only source of income, there are the professionals gamblers that depend solely on gambling for their daily bread,
So for some, it is easy to quit gambling forever or for a while if the person have a good profession or business that fetches him or her a lot of money, to them, gambling is just of way of having fun, but for those that have taken it up as a profession, if they quit what else would you advice they do?

I feel like people always share these types of advice when they fail.

You lose some money, think about it and come up with things you could've done differently and you unload on forums telling people about it.
So, my advice to OP and others who do the same is that next time you start gambling think about it beforehand. Don't regret it later and don't say that you quit because you will eventually come back. If you have to tell random people that you quit it means you have a problem. Normal people just quit and they don't need to make a big deal of it.

that is exactly one of the good techniques that a profitable gambler must have. It is very dificult to know when to stop either on a losing or winning streak. If you want to succeed in gambling, you will need to know to control your emotions and know when to stop. And this is not only when you are going through a losing streak but as well when you on a losing streak. You should simply know when to drop off and stop losing. Once you do know how to do that, everything will start going a lot better.

That is if we think the money is sufficient enough or we can at least withdraw it but if what we win is still small because we budget our bets to last long, then we are forced to continue for more in hopes of winning again but most of the times the previous balance that we already build are going to be depleted.

This is the hardest or the most annoying part when trying to make money in gambling. You didn't get a win on your session but I can feel that you get enough because 1 hour in gambling is long already compared to other activities that we are doing and the good part is that you have something left with you. Not all can be able to do that.

Gambling is an addictive way of doubling or loosing money. And players must be mindful of their decisions and stakes. Bad decisions in staking can lead to depression for some persons who depend souly on the gambled funds. While we celebrate our wins whether or not it matters to jubibilate after winning huge amounts of money our next move still counts. A times players fail to enjoy the money they once celebrated. Meaning that they stake all the winnings back until its exhausted, what a bad decision.

You are a good gambler and I don't think you have quitted gambling from the way you sound it shows that you are  quitting because of you lost today. You have only gone on break in no time you might be gambling again. My advice is don't gamble for profit or else you will keeping on losing and thinking you can regain the lost, unknowingly to you that you are getting addicted to gambling indirectly.


I like your courage to quit gamble it shows that you are discipline, this is the evidence of being a responsible gambler. I was once an addict to gambling and lost so much which made me quit. After sometimes when I understood that gambling is for fun and not profit, I decided to stick by this rule for some reasons. Your gambling should have a limit and don't gamble with money you need this is save you from depression.

It can be a habit, I mean, when you first started going to work, it might be difficult for you to get used to it, but then you just get used to this routine. The same can happen with gambling, if there is a strategy, a clear system, then following it, you can get approximately the same results on the distance, without any interruptions. The most important thing here will be making a profit in order to win more than you lose. If things are different, then maybe it not for you.

Well, it's quite a sensible decision, especially since the month was profitable for you and the main thing here is not to get carried away with the game and leave in time, so it's right that you showed the will and did not succumb to feelings.
