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?

Money is the main reason why people gamble. If it wasn't for gambling, casinos won't be a booming business in our time.
People see it as a way to change their life where they won't be able to achieve just by working hard.
Even people that have a lot of money still gamble for the purpose of enjoyment so I don't think even I will stop gambling if I have a lot of money.

Yeah so basically what thing could stop a gambler is losing the money, all of his money. First thing first, we all gamble because we want and expect for a profit while enjoying and entertaining ourselves, don't be hypocrite and say it was all for fun. But for me, aside from making money with gambling the reason why I gamble because of so much spare time I have, If i could have just an outdoor activity or recreational activity then I most probably I won't be sitting here in fron of the computer in long hours everyday. I've tried playing sport to avoid gambling once but I realize sport is not really for me due to some personal issue.

What is best solution for gambling addiction or a way to stop gambling is to spend timw with your family gathering in some places and just enjoy the moment you are together. Nothing can outweigh the family even the eagerness of becoming rich or being a casino jackpot winner.

Quite contradictory views

It seems to me that most casino visitors are rational and play primarily for the sake of adrenaline and entertainment, and not for the sake of earning. We think that there are many "sick" on theme of gambling only because their terrible examples are very vivid and cause a strong emotional reaction.

I don't think so.

It is true though that a lot of people are gambling for the money that they can get out of gambling, it is a high risk, high return situation. But if a gambler have a lot of money, there is no doubt that it will stop him from gambling. I think that could be the worse scenario especially if that gambler is addicted to gambling.

If that were accurate then all of those that are rich will not gamble, having money is not a protection against your gambling tendencies, if anything a person that has a lot of money has a lot of risk of becoming addicted to it as at the beginning they will not feel the losses they are incurring as they have so much money, but when they begin to feel them they will have even greater of feelings of regret and will try to chase their losses with devastating effects for themselves and their capital.

There are so many reasons for me to stop gambling, and for sure, to all of you too. I just want to share my main reason why I stopped gambling is because of my girlfriend; she always mad at me when I come home from the casino. We still fight because of that thing, to the point that she left me alone, we broke up, and that is the time when I realized how I love here, so I changed my lifestyle, I stopped gambling, and I court her again. Happily, we became in a relationship, lesson learned, so if you really love your friends and your partner, distance yourself from gambling.

Priorities,
This is the only thing that would make any of us stop from gambling,
Of course there are some who would turn back from their priorities just to have fun and continue their vices.
When we have our priorities we would focus on it and we would avoid any other things specially if we don't have extra funds.

Well, that is true. If we know how to prioritize things, then we might stop being addicted to gambling, there are so many productive things that you may do aside from betting. If you feel like you are being addicted to gambling, then you may go back and think about your priority in life. Consider all the people around you that may affect when you turn into addiction in gambling.

and also what i believe is there is no reason for stopping gambling totally,i think what is appropriate to say is we may take free time to enjoy?because people tend to find happiness and gambling is part of this in some chances(though not including those people that dont know gambling that well)

If gambling gives fun to you, you don't need to stop the fun and stop it, that's being stupid.
Everyone of us has different ways of having fun and it's just that we gamblers choosing a risky one but it should not be a problem if we can handle it responsibly.

Yeah if someone wants to keep gaming then nothing can stop the gambler but if you are not happily gambling then a miner loss can make you stop gambling. A gambler will always find a way to keep gambling. Most gamblers lose hope after losing once. A gambler is gambling for fun then the fun can be taken in any way no matter how much you have to pay.

I would stop when I don't have enough money to gamble,
I don't want to ask for money just to continue on gambling and I would also stop when I feel that it is already taking up most of my money.

It's not also my attitude to ask money so that I can gamble. I'm more than happy to gamble with my own money because I know how I got it and I can do whatever I can with it.
I'll stop also if I don't have budget to gamble anymore. It is a sign that there's no need to continue and stop for the moment when there's nothing left anymore.

The thing that makes stop into gambling if you are not addicted to it and you have a priority in life. When you have a lot of money and you have self-discipline it will not turn your way into gambling. Some cannot stop in gambling because of no set goals, addiction, and greed.

Priorities over gambling but if gambling is your priority then there is something wrong with the you as a gambler.

There are some gamblers there who have a lot of money but they are spending most if not all of it in gambling. There are some gamblers who doesn't have self discipline and if they are winning, they choose to play until they lost all of their money. Gambler will not stop gambling until they don't have money. That is for me best way for a gambler to stop from gambling.

Priorities is one too yes if you don't prioritize gambling and you prioritize your family, other things etc. and another one is a gambler will stop if they don't have money anymore.

If indeed you are enjoying then there's no problem continuing as long as you can manage balancing your time and money. Most gamblers forget about the balance in life, they will continue to proceed and make things beneficial unaware that they are already losing and the money that they are spending is more than what they can afford.

I have a similar situation, with the only difference being that after my balance drops to zero I make several deposits,
and only after the balance of these new deposits also drops to zero I stop playing.
Of course, this does not happen so often, however, I noticed certain patterns.
In particular, it all depends on in what emotional state I sit down to play, and on how successful the first hour of the game session is.

I think it would be having a kids because I would be more focus on them and I would dedicate all of my money for my family.
But as long as I am free then I could continue to enjoy it for as long as I want.

it is indeed that having another diversion can make us prevent from being a gambler,specially having a Family of your own?
but only if you are a responsible person because nothing will change if the attitude is just like for what will please you and not to pleases others.

I think people who addicted to gambling actually can stop gambling, but they need to do with hard because the addicting to gambling will try to keep them from playing gambling more and more. I realize that it will not easy because they need to have self-discipline, and they need to struggle by themselves to stop gambling. Once they can stop gambling, they will realize that they can do that, with or without other people helped. So yes, self-discipline and controlling ourselves will be needed to stop gambling.

This depends on the person. I mean not all of those gamblers would be wanting a child that can hinder their gambling activities, isn't it? I just hope that a lot of gamblers are like you, and I think you are that kind of gambler that would just stop when you want it since you can prioritize your goals straight and you are responsible too.

Realistically, it wouldn't take much to stop me gambling.

Give me $10,000 and I'll never touch another casino game again. Give me $100,000 and I won't even make casual bets with my friends!

Give me $1 million and I'll start looking both ways and stop gambling with my life.

I don't think having enough money from gambling should make one to quite playing gambling in my opinion. Making good money from playing will rather make me to play more gambling and not the other way around. For now the only thing that make me quite gambling is when my capital in the gambling exchange is finished.

Some gamblers that want to secure profit will not allow those profits to be recovered by the house. So the tendency, they stop and spending the profit for something better and keeping the capital that they've used.

But there's also the spirit of being confident that you either continue to win more which makes every gambler to have that intense feeling. And it results to gamble more and it's a 50/50 on our ends and it will definitely make you stop only if you have nothing anymore.

I might also stop gambling if I already have a priority and if I wouldn't have enough funds to gamble. I have set goals in gambling but having priorities and responsibilities might push me away from playing especially when gambling is already affecting my life negatively. However, if we'll know how to handle things well, we don't have to quit gambling right away.

To keep your words, you must not have got addicted to gambling because an addicted gambler will not bother about their responsibilities and any other prioritized works, they treat gambling as the high prioritized one. I am sure that every gambler to keep on gambling for considerable period of time, definitely get addicted but not severely from the beginning but in slow progress. So, staying away from gambling might help you to focus on your priorities and responsibilities. Just a friendly advice from my own experiences.

People who get into gambling as the beginners keep do priorities and responsibilities regularly but they slowly change their order of priority which will end up gambling as the first one. I feel that is the severe state of gambling addiction.
