I dont see why instead of quitting the solution cant be to just reduce the amount gambled, to whatever is a reasonable budget. So that could be as little as what you spend on snacks for a week, so really small amounts but if the gamble pays off then you get the larger amount to roll forward.

If people can stick to keeping a sensible budget then I see no reason to quit however if its beyond self control at this point and the idea of a budget is laughable then I'd agree that just an absolute stop may be the best thing after all. I recognise thats the correct strategy for some but also I dont believe any person can avoid the concept of risk in their lives, its just a naturally occurring thing that has to be dealt with every day to some extent hence why I mention money budgeting as maybe the real dilemma to resolve long term

Well, I had thought about that, but I opted to take a break because I was also losing too much time with it.
Okay, I could have limited the time spent on gambling as well, but I was honestly getting a bit tired of gambling.

I haven't started again, but when I do, I will get a better grasp on my spending habits and the amount of time spent on gambling.

Side note: Might lock this thread soon if there aren't any interesting replies anymore. Just to avoid this turning into a spam thread.

It is very important to take some rest from gambling and spend more time with your family. You will be mentally relaxed and your money will also be saved. Regular gambling will take you to the worst conditions and it is not good for you and for your family as well. There are many other activities in the world for entertainment and enjoyment. You can engage yourself there.

The family is the most reason for us to take a break or stop from gambling because they are our life. Spend more time with family can take our mind to stop thinking about gambling because we want to have fun with them. We need to balance our lives between family, activities or work, friends and even gambling so we can know which is important in our life.

Lately I felt that I've been gambling a bit too much, it evolved into a weekly event where I would spend a little bit more money than I had originally planned for.
I've decided to take a break from gambling for a while, it's been 3 weeks since my last bet.

Just wanted to make this post in case someone else has any problems with this, spending more than intended, I mean.
You just kinda get into the habit without noticing at first, but you should really take immediate action when you do.

For me it was just a couple of hundred euros overspending, maybe for a month or so.
Taking a break was pretty easy, just replaced the gambling with a bit more gaming and writing articles.

Having a bit of extra cash now as well, always comes in handy

Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.

If you need help to quit gambling:

As of now I am not yet stopped gambling even for a day. But I see to it that I will never spend too much of what I intend to bet. what we need to do in order to avoid bug losses is to control our betting and don't get too hooked up in gambling.

Luckily I can control myself from gambling all the time. I knew gambling because of crypto and the tempting promotion able to attract me to gamble without thinking especially for dice.
For some people may be difficult because it's become their nature to gamble but as long as they able to responsible with their action, it's OK.

lucky for you, because not everyone can control themselves at gambling.
maybe you have had a bitter experience at gambling, so you can learn from your experience. so that you can master the self-control that every gambler must have

At least, we need to learn how to control ourselves at the gambling so we can prevent to lose much money. Although it will difficult, we need to keep trying to control because this is worth for you if you have a plan to stop playing gambling in someday. With controlling yourselves, you can be able to stop the game in anytime you want and this will help you to take a break from gambling.

Also important that you detach yourself from all unwanted stuff and especially where money is involved you better be staying away because it can take away your money as you lose the bets rather than wining the amount from it.

You could detach yourself from gambling and out your money into other stuff. Grin

Those who are risk takers just can stop themselves from doing such things. For them a good investment would also be good but they will fail because they have not patience. In gambling though patience is less important for games like dice,slots etc. So its what attracts them to it. Trading is also not their cup of tea because they are not willing to do any analysis or study.

Some people do end up with a bitter experience but they still dont learn their lesson. Say they promise to give up gambling but after 2weeks they are back. Self-control is important and determination to stick to the rule is also important.

It is hard for someone to be able to control themselves in gambling. Most of the gamblers even admit that they can control themselves but the reality is that they can't even make their selves have a breather on gambling. I know a lot of gamblers that say this things and it is really embarrassing when you see them play because they are really into it proof that they are not really controlling them selves but them being controlled by their emotions and being pushed too by the excitement of his friends.

Taking a break from gambling is good. Maybe you won't even feel the impulse to gamble and then who knows perhaps you won't be a gambler? Its worth a try

Once in a while you just have to take a break from all gambling activities so that you don’t continue losing money or when you feel that you have been too consistent in gambling and that you might run the risk of even becoming an addict.

Also important that you detach yourself from all unwanted stuff and especially where money is involved you better be staying away because it can take away your money as you lose the bets rather than wining the amount from it.

Gambling is just made for fun purposes only if you become addicted to gambling make sure that you can control yourself from being addicted because if not, you can lose a large amount of money.
There are many people in gambling that lose all of their savings due to addiction you must play only limited times or a small amount of money just to play for fun, not for living or any reasons that can push you to become addicted.

I once had an experience in gambling, at first I always won a gamble and it made me even more crazy with gambling, but after the last few weeks I experienced defeat in gambling, and after I did an analysis of myself it turned out to be a mistake I do is lack of control in me so I keep following my passions so that I can always win in terms of gambling, whereas in gambling activities there will certainly be times when we experience defeat and victory.

We won't take control on the gambling itself. But we do have control on ourselves in engaging in gambling. It could be quite addicting especially when one has been winning initially. But it won't be that case always. One should descipline oneself from overspending and deciding due to an impulse of emotion. This is very applicable in crypto market.

yes you should take a break from gambling if you feel not to play consistently anymore or just temporarily.

It is necessary because if you play continuously you will lose all your money and you will be mentally disturbed. It is better to quit gambling for some time. if you can quit gambling forever that will be much better but if not then you should avoid gambling for some time. by this way you will be fresh and will save some of your money. Try to engage yourself in some social welfare activities

Right but I think, if a person can taking a break from gambling, he/she could be able to quit forever too, because if you can do it for 1 or 2 months you can continue to do it for whole life if you want.

If the main point is to stop forever then we should not use the words "taking a break", better to use "STOP" only. Taking a break means we need to stay away from it for a while for a refreshment purpose then we can come back with fresh mind/condition. Taking a break in gambling is obviously needed no matter we are real gamblers or just vacational gamblers, no matter we have just got bad lose or big win. It help us to manage our emotion, and it is also a way for us to avoid what we call as "addiction".

It's possible that these people are actually just rephrasing "stop" so it would become a little easier to do. Taking a break is so much easier than to say that you're going to stop gambling FOREVER. People like taking baby steps because it's more achievable. It's like, when you tell yourself, "I'm not going to gamble today." It's a lot more achievable and a lot less overwhelming when you tell yourself, "I'm not going to gamble forever." It would be like you're saying farewell to gambling and you tell yourself that you have to commit to that decision every single day of your life. That would make you think about gambling even more.

Taking a break is a million times better than not stopping gambling at all. Take it as your first step to a better life. While you're still in the middle of a break and you're not reminded of gambling, take advantage of that and find a new hobby to replace gambling. And it's the only way you can quit because you have to fill the time that you used to spend on gambling.

It is always good to take a break from anything you do which may not always turn out to be positive as you expect it. Gambling is one such thing where losses can actually make you mentally ill and spoil relationship if you get addicted to it.

In gambling people are mostly influenced because of their greedy attitude. Most of the people who doesn't knwo how to handle or to stop/taking break in playing gambling end up losing and being bankrupt. We must know to limits ourselves playing gambling and not putting all our money into it. We must know what are our priorities and when to stop or take a break.

We all know that gambling is a kind of earning platform that has a high risk of percentage. We must know the advantages and disadvantages of playing gambling. We must not be greedy in earning using gambling because it is not the best way to earn. The earnings are not stable and not good when you strikes the possibility of losing all of your earnings.

Sometimes, we need to take a break from gambling to release stress because of getting lost in much money, and we can make a deep breath in the out for a while. I think this is useful for every people to release their muscle in the hard situations and I think this can works too in gambling especially if we are losing much money. And we can try to break for a week to prevent from becoming an addicting person in gambling also because sometimes taking a break from gambling is necessary.
