Topic: When do you know its time to Stop? - page 3. (Read 3960 times)

Curiosity kills the cat that is what they say. The only thing that a person could do wrong is to start gambling because of others people influence, because he heard in the news that a certain person have won a big amount of fiat in gambling so he decided to give it a shot, believing he could also win something big like that. Being positive about things in life is not bad, but we have to make exceptions, and gambling is one of the things we shouldn't even try.

Gambling is so gamble, meaning you are risking something to get something, and that is money, you are risking money to get more money. The chances of winning in gambling depends on what game you are playing, for example you are playing lottery which the chances of winning is 1 out of 175 million.

Thats right dude, people usually just start without knowing how to stop the game. there may be some players who allocate special funds so that it can stop them playing if the funds run out, but if you play emotionally you might use your main wallet to gamble again, so you should know how to stop using your own abilities dude!

Yeah, it is always better to have a stipulated rule on ground and try as much as possible to stick with it. One of the rules is never to gamble more than what you cannot afford to lose since you will end up losing it anyway. With that kind of mindset towards gambling that everything is just simply luck, but you are exposed to huge risk of losing more than winning will make you accept your fate when you eventually lose and know when to halt the activity.

Yeah it's good if before you start gambling you have to set how much money you will use to gamble and that amount must match your ability to afford that losses. sometimes getting out of control can also make it difficult for you to stop, so you have to control yourself well..

That is right. If gamblers became desperate, they are close to being unstoppable unless they don't have the money to continue. One of the gamblers said to me that they'd rather keep losing than just stop hoping.

I can't blame these gamblers to continue on betting their money but sometimes, it escalate to the point that they need to sell some items or do something bad just to earn money and go back to gambling. If that happens to me, I will be having a lot of restless nights can't stop thinking what am I doing with my life and my money. I am the person that thinks what am I doing and my conscience is always my acquaintance.

You have a good advice, but you can't stop people for what makes them happy. When a gambler decide to put their money on the line, they usually do it without any hesitation. So advising them to stop when they feel like lossing it all is pointless unless the gambler himself is determined to stop.

You can't exactly say it's time to stop when you don't undergo more failures with your bets, and that money you're using has gone so bad when it happens. You should be able to determine the serious aspects of gambling so that you'll be able to gain enough knowledge. The best ways to do it is to stop when you see the gameplay was failing, and the current scenario still hinder your bets towards the winning piece of gambling games.

Chasing losses is very dangerous and can blow up your bankroll in no time. It's very easy to get carried away with reckless gambling which can multiply the initial loss manyfold or even destroy your entire bankroll without you even noticing it as you are too busy trying to recover that lost $100... Been there and seen that many times. Bankroll management and damage control are of utmost importance as well as suppressing one's emotions.

Lets you you lost $1,000 yesterday and today you win $500. So you wont stop because today's winning is not enough to recover what you lost yesterday? The word "enough", you will miss it once you are in winning time as your mind may say "again, it is my lucky day and I'll win more".


Why you need to lose too much to stop? Too much means that the amount is much more higher than your own limit. So it is a wrong mindset, you should stop before you lose too much. Stick on your own limit, dont wait till you reach the words "too much".

I do stop playing in a certain day for two reasons.
1) if I know that I already won a quite big or a big price or money that I know it is enough to get back my losses today and losess before. It something like a goal but I do not set a price or money to get. You already know in yourself if it ia big, enough, or not.
2) if I lose too much. We may not bet all pr everything that we have. Gambling is not always a good strategy. Sometimes luck is what we only need.

But for someone who is addict in gambling, or for someone greedy, he/she do not know and do not think about this kind of thing. He/she is unstoppable.

Unfortunately, that's the same voice that cries out for booze or drugs in substance abusers.  The very same voice, the one that wants another hit, another drink, wants to fuck, wants to overeat, whatever.

The question of knowing when to stop is a tricky one.  A lot of addicts first find themselves in the position where they think they should cut down on whatever it is they think has gotten out of control.  Gamblers try to gamble less, or make smaller bets.  I would suggest that if you've reached that point, you've already got a problem and stopping altogether is the only--and ironically the hardest--solution.

This isn't true for 100% of people, but it's certainly true for the majority of them, I'd say.  I've dealt less with gamblers than drug addicts and alcoholics, but your brain sees all of it as intense pleasure and craves whatever it is that's your drug/behavior of choice.  If you've realized you have a problem with gambling, I would strongly suggest quitting if you're able.  Also, I'd recommend NOT hanging out here in the gambling discussion section, or at casinos, or in any place that will cause you to want to gamble. 

The memories you formed from all the good times gambling are burned into your brain like nothing else.  Everything you associate with gambling has the potential to trigger you to gamble again--just like drugs.  People, places, things as they say in recovery.  There are a lot of triggers you probably don't even realize.

It's time to stop if you know that there is no progress in what you are doing, honestly it's time to give up if you know that you are continuously losing every game and that you are losing almost all of your hard-earned cash, then that's the time you need to stop gambling, if you are unluck come back the next day or week, it's just the matter of having self-control my friend.

Hard to control yourself the main problem for most gamblers, before we start to gambling we need to use money that we can afford to lose to prevent bad emotional in the future. Try to promise to yourself and set the time when you need to stop after reaching the target or losing the minimum target.

I have basically faced these problems much oftentimes. I don't have the ability to stop and i always prefer putting most of my funds in a game to really get it won. This has caused some great losses and i have got some major lessons from this. Now i only tend to give a small part of my funds to a specific game and once that amount is over, i quit for the game. It also gives me a good stop loss which helps me to prevent extra loss. Also i get a chance to participate in several other games increasing the chances of win.

I don't know why people have hard time stopping. I think its not stopping thats the problem, if you run out of money you will stop no matter what.
The harder part is not starting, if you feel like you are not cut for gambling and you are gonna have hard time stopping than you should not even start. That not starting for wrong people is the true issue, they don't know what type of people they are and they gamble and fail to stop at the correct time. Learn to not start whenever you want before learning how to stop.


The best way to stay in control is to never violate our own rules that we have planned. Because, once we are caught in a bad situation, losing too much money, our emotions will be difficult to control.

In gambling we must be smart in controlling emotions, if we lose a lot of money, that is the right time to stop. We need entertainment and can gamble again on another day.

Lol thats right, that's mostly what happens. I also have a special allocation of funds at gambling but sometimes if you play emotionally and lose. maybe all the rules and plans that you have made will be destroyed by yourself and start gambling again and again. Therefore self-control is very necessary

Yes, every gambler must be responsible enough to know their limitations. You should know when is the time to stop and become aware of how much you have lost.. For the most part, the best method of escaping the occurrence of an empty bank account is to stop playing. You, as a responsible gambler must know that or else you will suffer the consequences later on.

yes, by controlling ourselves, we can prevent from losing much money and with limitations, we can know when the time to stop. at least, we can have a choice to leave the game because we are run out of money. but this will be difficult if we borrow some money from the casino to continue the game and if this is happening, we cannot stop from the game. maybe we someone else that will stay with us to always remind us to not play the game too long because we can forget about limitation or other else and this will make us difficult to leave the game.
