Topic: To quit gambling is to quit yourself - page 4. (Read 2313 times)

Lol it's like you're telling us that we should not quit gambling even though we have lost a lot. Me, I lost a lot. I just misclicked a button and then my money is gone. I put all of my money and then poof, gone. It's a bet on a tennis match. The stakes was high, I was sleepy that time and I didn't noticed that I betted at the wrong person and at the wrong odd. And then, With that I lost .1 btc. I'm an all in gambler. If that's surely a win, I surely put all my money. But it seems that it's not very healthy.

Well, the best thing to do really here is to ask for help, and yes, we must really accept the fact that we are not really doing anything good for ourselves but feeding our greediness by putting our money into gambling. It really boosts the greediness into us whenever we hear these games, and even if you are avoiding this game will not help you because it will just make you more hungry for it. There are a lot of people that can help you and you can start by asking your family, your loved ones or your friends.

then they will be hard to quit gambling, and they will lose all of their money. and if we want to stop gambling, then it will start from ourselves, and if necessary, we can ask the other people to always remind us and get us to leave from the gambling places. maybe this is difficult for the addicting gambler, but I believe that he realizes that he needs to quit gambling, then he will try to leave no matter how hard it will be.

It completely depends on them because some people won't gamble after losing money but people who are addictive to gamble will not leave the gambling even after losing a huge amount of the money. Everything depends on their nature because when it comes to me i used to gamble when i have free time and will not spend more on it.

People who cannot control their gambling habits should try other stuff to do and find another hobby so that you could channel it to another thing and peevent addiction. Gambling is very addicting and people should have control especially with things that concerns money.

Addicted gamblers are often criminals because when they have no money they do illegal things to get some money for gambling. That’s why I can say that regular gambling is the mother of crimes. Mostly gamblers involve in illegal activities because they also know that gambling is bad thing and they cannot use hard earn money in gambling.

That's why whenever we tell ourselves "I'm just gonna go to the casino but NOT play.", we are lying to ourselves. Same as whenever we go to a gambling site just to watch other people play. One thing related to gambling will lead us to actually gambling no matter how remote it is. Sometimes we're just watching some Tv series then there's a scene of people gambling, then the next thing you know, you're already gambling. You have to know your triggers so you can avoid them. If your computer makes you gamble, then block the gambling sites that you play at or put all of your money in an offline address and make it hard for you to access it (i.e. make your wife hold the private keys). In your example, there's not a way that you're not gonna gamble because you're in a gambling place.

In order to quit gambling, you have to start by avoiding the things, big and small, that gives you an urge to gamble.

The desire to chase losses will be difficult to avoid and can persuade people to continue to try to gamble to meet the satisfaction of the heart. If we are able to resist our inner desires, maybe we can leave gambling immediately.

But the reality sucks that you don't really want to quit because you're hands just can't get off any casino once you sit in front of it.

It's not easy to quit if you had been dedicating a lot of your time on it.

If in reality your quiting because you want to quit, then just go forward but eventually you will probabily want to go back if you were successfull.
If not then it will be just easy as taking a candy from a baby.

Guys, I know that many of you have already discussed this issue regarding quitting gambling as it is addictive, and I know that this thread is just like any other one. But forgive me because I am really sick of seeing people committing suicide because they are in big debts. I would like to speak my mind.

So, guys. Quitting gambling has to be done by quitting yourself. What I mean by that statement is that you should no longer be yourself or what you are. You are now a man of greed and addiction. Who was the person you were before you start gambling? Perhaps you were addicted to something else. Perhaps you were just a normal man living a normal life. Now you are a different person. What I want you to do is that you should be aware that gambling too much will make you lose yourself. Second off, you should sit with yourself and write down the negative effects of gambling. Do not be like "What if I win next time, what if I get lucky next time." No, that is not you who is talking but your greed. Do not give yourself false hopes because "What if" is a term used to talk about unreal action in the past or the future. You can neither change the past nor be accurate about what future will be like.

Then you should practice positive self-talk. Fill yourself with positiveness. Have a strong willpower and determination because believe me, once you are committed to something, you will attain it. If you want to give up gambling, then you can do it because other people and I gave it up.
I used to gamble a lot with my friends and I would be lying if I said I did not learn many things. But the negative effects overcame the positive ones. I took a decision to stop gambling. I filled my time with various activities. In time, I started to forget about gambling. It is like moving on. If you want to move on, get yourself from the routine you used to be in. Your brain is functioned about a certain routine. You will find it hard to adapt to the new routine, but believe me, in time you will get used to it.

I hope you guys achieve what you aspire. And I hope this thread will help you, even though I am sure I am going to get negative feedback. But it is okay, I am open to everything. Have a lovely day, Hadoooken!

we don't have any reason to stay in the gambling games if we cannot win any money and it is better to quit and leave the games. I think if we decide to quit, then it means, we need to leave the games as soon as possible because the longer we are staying in that games, the more money we can lose and we cannot get it back again. but I agree that you need to take a break for a while and refresh your mind from any of gambling games and you can still come back in the other days.

You are right - just like in trading, you should also have pre-planned betting strategies and stick to it no matter what. This is a way to combat being too emotional in gaming because all you have to do is follow your pre-bet plan.

Quite gambling is quite yourself isn't right always. It's depends on your choice. Just stay patient and take a break from gambling life. Then meet & enjoy with other people. It may help some to quite gambling.
