But let's imagine, what kind of conditions might make you stop gambling?

No money is the big reason and family relationships for me, family comes first to me so if I see that gambling is hindering my relationship with my family then I have to stop, gambling should be fun and stress-free it should not be the reason to sever your ties with your family.

People should know what to prioritize and it should not be gambling, when you prioritize gambling you have the potential to lose everything you have because you cannot keep up with gambling and your relationship, you will go for the other and neglect the other, so if you want to have a peace of mind gambling should be the last in your priorities.

I know that many people try to stop gambling or reduce the intensity of their gambling because of several factors such as running out of money, being scolded by their wife, being scolded by their parents, or piling up debts. Irresponsible gambling will make us have bad conditions. I don't hope we will experience something like that because after all gambling is fun and full of challenges

But let's imagine, what kind of conditions might make you stop gambling?

gambling can be something that brings joy for the gamblers, even they do gambling till a level of addiction. so I think one of situations that make us stop gambling is finding another joy with no risk of losing money. This is about psychology. realizing that we can have joy from something is not gambling the main factor for people to stop gambling. environment is also a key factor. anything around us can trigger us to do what people around us are doing.

I play out of boredom or if I really want to get something out of a game and I'm literally putting money where my mouth is, but if I found a new hobby that will shadow my interests in gambling, that will do it. My financial state is somewhat stable for the next year or so, and I'm not rushing to get more money and will certainly not do it through gambling. So if there's something that will stop me from betting, that will be something that occupies my full interest, and that is a new hobby.

If that's the case, I must say that this is one of the best solution to stop you from gambling but once you get the right hobby for you, you'd better to control you decisions also your spending habit even if it's not for gambling so that you wont be addicted to it. Since you've said that you're gambling out of boredom and you're not rushing to get more money , If you have a stable income I can recommend you to explore outdoor activities such as hiking that will also gives you so much benefits both physical and emotional state.

Financial incapability to gamble and loss of function to mu daily life. First is self explanatory, some might say a gambling addict would be seeking for ways just to gamble but in my case I’d probably stop; depends on your personality by the way. Another is loss of function; if I wouldn’t be able to interact with my friends, do chores, finish my tasks then this would be the time to stop. Of course it won’t be easy in such state but knowing myself I would do things to cope up with the situation. As much as possible never allow yourself to be in such debt before realization knocks on your head ‘coz that would be a different level of struggle.

If you're not a gambling addict, I think that it's pretty easy for you to stop gambling due to financial incapability to fund your habit if you're an addict then that's not going to stop you. Your second condition is pretty much a profound and sad one, losing connection with the friends because of your habit is depressing and I think it's depending on someone's personality and will if they'll be able to stop because if the incessant gambling is the cause of that 2nd condition then it's difficult to just simply move away from gambling.

If you have a condition that will make you stop gambling then you are not in control of your behavior as a gambler, a responsible gambler who just treats gambling for entertainment can stop gambling anytime he wants with no condition attached, only those habitual gamblers will set a condition when he should stop gambling.

In fact chronic gamblers are good at making promises and setting conditions on when they should stop but always fail to keep the promise or the condition they set, so if you're a responsible gambler you can stop anytime without the need to set up a condition, you can anytime under any circumstances.

The condition that makes us stop gambling is when all the money is gone and we can't deposit any more money. It is a difficult condition for us to continue gambling because we really don't have any money anymore. And that is a normal condition that someone will experience when gambling, so in that condition, they really can't continue gambling. But this will not stop people who are used to borrowing money from other people because they will borrow more money so they can continue gambling.

But as long as we can control money management for gambling, we will not run out of money for gambling because we know when to stop. We have a lot of time to gamble so we don't need to spend all the money in one day and for that reason, we need to manage the money well so we can gamble another day.

Let me see.

1. I am married and I don't make decisions on my own anymore, if my partner want me to stop gambling I will have to do it.

2. I am a responsible gambler and I don't always gamble every day, sometimes I takes me weeks to start feeling like gambling again, so if I have to stop it will be because I can't afford the money to gamble that week.

3. The money I use for gambling mostly comes from my personal business, if the situations is getting tighter and no good sales, then I have to stop because I have some responsibility to partake at home, I won't want gambling to get in the way.

I have stop gambling many times before, but I still always go back when I can afford the money, as small as the amount is, sometimes I find it hard to afford it, because like I've said I am not alone and there are some holes that needs to be filled in the family.

There are so many things I wish to stop especially the ones that have negative health and financial implications. Gambling is not part of them because it has no bad effect on my finances and health. I gamble because of two main reasons which are for entertainment and to make side money. Now I don't see the income from gambling as steady or add it to my budget, but peradventure I have a win it will be channelled to meet some needs. So my main focus is to get some fun and that is why I use an insignificant part of my funds to gamble. I have never thought of borrowing or selling personal belongings to fund my gambling activities. I don't have issues with my health because of gambling this is because I don't gamble with more than I can bear. So I have no business with anxiety, depression and hypertension.

Legislation: A Change in government policies can make me consider halting my gaming activities. If the government criminalises gambling, then it will be better to stop to avoid sanctions.
Pressure from spouse: If my partner becomes uncomfortable with gambling and comes up with some genuine reasons, I might consider stopping my gambling activities
Societal pressure: A political, religious, or educational leader must have to behave in a manner that is acceptable to society. It will be morally wrong for a President, Bishop or Vice Chancellor to be a gambler. Many people see such people as the custodian of the morality of the society. So I might consider quitting if I attain a certain level in life

Stopping gambling in my case? Then these would be the ff;

1. Completely busy on work/have no time
2. Wife told me to do so
3. Dont have enough budget or extra for me to gamble.

These are the things which it would completely make me stop on doing or playing gambling.
I dont really let myself do really end up on stopping just because i have wrecked myself out. It would be always
better that you should really be doing or having that moderation when it comes to spending.

It's funny that gambling is one of the most addictive habits you could ever get into. A lot of my friends that are into would bitterly speak about their worst moments in gambling and sometimes their positive moments. But whenever they talk about their experiences, they speak more of the worst period than they will speak for the best part of it.

Gambling deals with uncertainty and hope. The uncertainty in trying to win a prediction is what spring the hope in the gambler thereby giving him the impression to win odds. Over 30% of Nigerian adults have gambled and about 53% of them are gambling on a daily basis.

Although Nigerians see gambling as a pastime but one thing that has affected gambling in Nigeria is the lack of strong or stringent regulations thereby giving a loopholes to it. Many companies operate and fold at their own will when they have probably gathered enough money from gamblers and they are nowhere to be found. This has affected many young Nigerians in their lives as they lose huge amounts of money to gambling with no refunds even when they won their odds.

If we are gambling responsibly, it will be very hard to find any condition to warrant our decision to stop gambling, gambling is nothing than having fun, when we are happy with the way we do it, then it turns to be one of our favourite means of getting ourselves being entertained, so why should we quit when others are not complaining neither do we get affected by how we gamble, but maybe old age or sickness may stop us over time.

I can see few replies saying if they keep losing for a long period of time they will stop gambling, but there are other thing that's most important to me and should be very important to people too.

The reason why I keep gambling is not because I only want to make money, it's because I can afford to lose money for few gains if they ever come, so assuming I lost my job today, you think I will go gambling the next day? Never, it can never happen, because it's my job that's bringing in good amount of money monthly.

For me to take risks with gambling, trading and investment, my life must be in shape first, get a job and start making money, then I will be able to afford taking some risks, if no way to make money right now gambling is not the solution, remember that gambling is good at taking money away from you, now imagine that all you have as a solution when no new money is coming in is gambling, you will regret your decision.

There you have it, it makes no sense to take risks when there is no income coming from somewhere else for you, how are you going to feel when you lose money? Those who have no jobs are not fit to take any risk in investment and in gambling.

Probably when I have no more extra funds to gamble. Of course, addiction is one thing that we need to control these days regardless if we're on a winning or losing streak.

I remembered the time when I cannot really control myself from gambling and had to borrow money from my friend only to lose it. I felt guilty about it but the good thing is that my salary arrived a few days later and paid my friend back.

In order that I should continue online gambling, I need to have a steady income source every month and not spending way above my limit to control myself. Once I am satisfied with the winnings, I would immediately stop and not being too greedy.

It is as simple as being a serial loser. Grin

If you are gambling without having winnings that can encourage you to keep trying then you will be frustrated to stop or reduce the numbers of times you gamble.

I had to reduce mine because of that. There are times you have high hope of winning a bet but at the end you are unluck with the game and it happens consistently, if you are not an addict and you are not expecting to have it as a source of income, you will be discouraged to continue.

So I believe the major reason to stop gambling is if you are always losing out.

I would just say... just a very serious illness that can prevents me from doing anything Roll Eyes

Joking aside, so far the only thing that made me stop betting for a long period was the stress/pressure from the outcome of events.
not so much because large sums were involved, but just because it was "stressing" and I decide to quit for several months

Yes that's right, basically I also think like that usually those people especially who are already addicted will be able to get out of the gambling zone or just reduce it when they have experienced things that make them really bad especially in their gambling activities, such as maybe experiencing a very big defeat that makes them very stressed because of some other impacts such as stress due to some pressure like you experienced.

Basically anything that makes you realize and get out of the bad activity is a better action that should be done, with that then I say you and they are one of the people who can consider choosing a better decision. And if you still find it difficult to quit the activity I think you still have other ways such as just reducing it, it is better than you continue to suffer with all the disadvantages and pressures of the activity.

My real story about trying to stop gambling few years ago when there was a bad pandemic. There was a situation when I have to take care about one of my family members who were affected by the virus badly, I had to spend my money and time more for him so there was no other choice. I did not regret it obviously, but I'm proud of myself that I can be someone useful to my family and on the other side I can reduce my gambling habit a lot since that time. It was like a significant change of my life because I was like a gambler who gambled almost everyday but I could leave it for months. The good effect is that I can reduce my gambling activity a lot (like 80%) than before, although I cant stop it completely.

I have felt at times when I felt like I was losing more and more, I became increasingly aware that I was going too far and gambling irresponsibly, I once felt chaos at that time when I was gambling beyond my limits so that too much money was spent on a win that I never got, Every time I play I never feel satisfied with the wins I get, I keep gambling until I really feel like I'm losing a lot of money.

Since then I have been gambling, changing my way of gambling for the better and no longer thinking about winning the game, especially against the casino, because I know the dealer will always win, this is a mindset game and I have to play with a healthier mindset, namely considering gambling as just a Just for entertainment, don't be obsessed with chasing anything, play and enjoy the game, think of any winnings as a bonus as long as there is a budget limit, everything will be well controlled.

There will be easy answer for this question and that is when I will don't afford the money for gambling. So that is I will gambling as my as I can afford to lose. Moreover I don't think that if everything is limited within a proper level then I don't think any third person I mean the family person will stop me from gambling. In this case I think if anyone cross his limitation on gambling and that will effect his family then I think that person should stop gambling immediately.

I will stop gambling maybe because of my future wife if she tells me to stop. Because no matter what, a wife's words need to be listened to for marital harmony, because how can I enjoy my gambling while my wife doesn't like what I do. That could create new problems which I don't want to happen. So instead of adding to the problem, it's better for me to stop gambling.

Well, I set boundaries and limitations for my gambling sessions. If I reach that point, I force myself to stop playing or gambling, but if you are talking about completely quitting gambling, I don't know if I will be able to quit gambling, and if there's a reason, I still don't know.

Maybe if I don't have money anymore? or I feel I'm keeping on losing and suffering from my losses. Like I said, I can limit myself to gambling, so I know when to stop. If I have a family, of course I need to be more responsible, and losing money is not an option anymore, even for entertainment. But as long as I don't have a family, I guess I will keep on gambling, but with discipline, it's hard for a person to know what will make them quit gambling unless it's too heavy, like being in too much debt, etc. But we know there is a certain point to that.
