In gambling if you don't have a self control when playing it will lead you to being addicted and losses money. In my view, the first reason that makes me stop gambling is out of funds and if I won already a big of amount. Others wouldn't make stop playing if winning at hand because of being greedy. Also when we do gambling we should always think of the consequences that may bring to our love ones if we don't think appropriately.

People can only give advises on paper on which conditions they will stop the gambling. In reality, the gamblers will never quit gambling because they get enjoyed from it and at the same time they have chance & hope to win a lot of money through win in gambling.

It is not very easy to get away with gambling addiction because most of the people even don't admit that they are addicted to it.

The two things you've mentioned is also the as mine. If I won big amount, i'll probably stop for real or if I have a job with decent salary then I don't need to rely on gambling about having good income. Second, relationship, if I have my own family, i'll definitely stop for the better. Whichever comes first. As long as I don't have any of those one, more probably, I keep going back until I have any from those two or both.

For me, gambling is not an option for making money, so only things related to my core values can stop me.
If for some reason gambling can interfere with my life, my family or my health, then I will stop immediately.

Those who taught that gambling is a way for making money are those who are addicted already to it. Although there are some who are really making money with it, most of them are still losing their money because of gambling.

Family and health are far more important than gambling for many reasons. Stopping gambling because of them is the best decision that you can made because gambling can just give you fun but you will be experiencing more enjoyment with the family on your side

This is really so sagacious of you that you are aware of what is good and bad for you. We need such more gamblers in the market who play it as a game not as a sole source of income ruining their lives. Indeed, these things that you mentioned shall be priority of everyone and they shall not be risk at all.

Greed is something which will make people do anything in spite of knowing what is good and bad. Only people with good will power and self discipline can contain themselves from falling under such situations where it will not be difficult for the people to put stop when the need be unlike those who get addicted and find it difficult to stop or just cannot stop and lose out a lot of things including money, health , relationship etc.

It is very bad when a person can not stop in time, and it is not only about gambling. If a person does not know the sense of proportion and his actions jeopardizes the well-being and health of his family, he just needs to turn to professionals who will help in the fight against addiction.

unless you really have a lot of money that it won't affect anything at all and you are still single, you might not stop gambling. its easy to gamble away all the money you have if you don't have any mouths to feed. but responsibilities and knowing priorities are just going to help good decisions. for someone who has kids and a nagging wife who will keep bugging because you are not putting food on the table, it should be time to stop your addiction. its already destroying the lives of your kids and wife.

In Code We Trust

If ever gambling makes us rich in the future, I don't think stopping our passion for gambling is a good thing to do. But what I mean is to still consider playing but betting less is more advisable. The reason is because, we should be grateful for what gambling help us to achieve something. And it is to show gratitude to help and advertise the gambling platform where we became rich.

IMO, the reason for me to stop gambling is when it affects me even if it impacts me not that hard, in times of being responsible in managing my budget for necessities and my education.

so, finding new desires / new hobbies / new focus is the best way to stop gambling.

It can be a solution for people who have addicted to gambling, and they want to stop gambling. Maybe they will have difficulties to find a new desires/hobbies/focus because they never think before, and I think they will need help from the other people to choose or give an idea to them. It is normal if they still think about gambling because that will not be easy to distract their mind from gambling in the beginning. But if they can do that new thing, they will prevent from thinking about gambling because they already build a new habit.

Then, it has to be clear of what would be the possible outcome.
Most gamblers come into gambling for a certain reason which is mostly because they want to win the jackpot prize. If you will know already your standpoint why you are in gambling, definitely, there is no reason that you can't escape from addiction and as well as from stopping it. It is just our mindset setting up us to think that we can make money in gambling but there is nothing like that in reality if you don't have any luck in here.

Priorities.

Same, and I think most of the people will understand that.
Priorities can be on your love ones or maybe passion in life. It's basic and doesn't need any explanations.

Yeah, we only live once so we should focus more on our love ones. Gambling is just there and will not go away, anytime if you wanted to be entertained, it's always there but the family can't always be there for you.

~ It's true that most gamblers in the world don't need to stop, because they are enjoying the process never spending too much time or money on it.

well yeah we have both same stand on this part because this is what gamblers need to be and must be whenever they are in gambling activities.

It's important to note that not only gamblers must be like this, but they are like this for the most part. If most gamblers were addicted ones, gambling wouldn't be allowed in any country.

~ there are some people that has no really luck at all,and i have a friends who has this experience thats why he stop gambling and find a living outside this career.

All people are equal in regards to luck, the key is good money management. If someone can afford to lose $20 per month to gambling, he shouldn't risk more than $0.5 at once (and better to risk much less than that). And if such a person places a $20 bet and loses it at once, that's not bad luck, that's bad money management.

Priorities.

This is for me the reason why I stopped gambling. I have more priorities than gambling that is why I choose to stop it and I saw already that I'm not getting anything on it but I am losing so much money and I felt regret too because of the money I spent there and asking myself "What if I used my money on other things like buying food or anything I want etc."

Aside from my priorities, I spend most of my time playing online games and it helped me too in stopping gambling. I don't have time for gambling that time because my time is heavily spent on online games and it benefited me. There are many ways for a gambler to stop gambling. Its just depend on the gambler.

- finding a passion (even relationshiprelated or life/activity related) that changes your priorities.

I once attended a training where we volunteers were taught what causes are usually addicted. Nearly 80% of gamblers who are successful stop saying that they can stop because they change focus or find priorities.

so, finding new desires / new hobbies / new focus is the best way to stop gambling.

Quote from: Lucasgabd on February 08, 2020, 07:21:55 AM

are there any things in life that would make you stop gambling?

the two things that come to my mind are:
- making enough or a lot of money.
- finding a passion (even relationshiprelated or life/activity related) that changes your priorities.

but can you see other things than that?

I have often have this discussion with my friends , but i am confident that nothing can make me stop gambling. I am not an addict but i don't see leaving gambling happening.

Even if i win a million $ gamble, i will continue gambling and even own up a gambling firm to follow suit and continue to be a part of the system.
The joy and excitement that follows a correct gambling prediction cannot be replaced.

You can say that, but sooner or later, you can get addicted to gambling without you realize if that is happening to you or not. You will only see that you already spent much money on playing gambling games, and you will get lost more than you can think. So the best thing that you should do is limiting the money that you used to gamble and leave the gambling place if you get losing many times, so you still have money to be used to playing gambling the next day.

so the answer?NO there is no reason why we need to stop totally,what we need is to control our self and thats all.

In my opinion, it's not that simple. It's true that most gamblers in the world don't need to stop, because they are enjoying the process never spending too much time or money on it.

But there are some people who must stop because gambling is just not for them. Being a good entertainment for most of the people, gambling is a killer to them, it ruins their lives and the lives of people around them.

i get your point and right there are some people that has no really luck at all,and i have a friends who has this experience thats why he stop gambling and find a living outside this career.

Quote from: Betwrong on March 10, 2020, 09:02:22 AM

And such people should rather concentrate on finding another passion than on "making enough" money in order to stop gambling.

+1 some must do this while others can enjoy so yeah we both agreed in same manners on how gambling needs to be in our life.
