Usually it's easier to stop when you're losing because you have some money on your account or in your pocket and if that runs out you will stop whether you like it or not.

I disagree with this. Losing their balance on a gambling site don't stop people from gambling more and more. They simply deposit another amount, which is usually bigger than the previous one, because they want to recover their losses. And if they don't have money of their own, they borrow it. It is called "chasing losses", and it's a real hell, if you ask me.

On the other hand, for those gamblers who only play with money they can afford to lose, indeed losing their balance means stop for the day. And although it's the majority of gamblers, I don't think we are talking about them in this topic, because for them it's not hard to stop at any time, regardless of whether they are losing or winning.

Every gamblers have his or her own strategy in every game, Winning is always tempting for more gambling if you're addicted to gamble. And whenever you are loosing, some always have the thought of recovering from their loss. So at this point some will find it difficult to quit when losing or winning. I think it would be good to set up your plans and apply wisdom in every decision making.
I suggest any time you win, take out your capital and use your profits for further games.


One of the ways where people who just can’t resist gambling and not able to quit too should consider keeping aside a certain money be very month for gambling . Now you have to manage for whole month in that money only . If you win you decide what needs to be done or if you loose entire quickly then you do not gamble till rest of the month . This will be starting point for you also to take control of your decisions regarding gambling .

The Op post probably suggest he is betting for the prize and not to enjoy or have fun with gambling. I think you should be able to quite If your money/time spent on betting is too much, and you were/are not really attracted by the fun or pleasure & use it to suppress a problem in your life.
In my opinion, spending too much time/money on betting without minding your loses could be considered an addiction.

Self-discipline is a kind of "must have" for every gambler.  For me it's extremely hard to stop, when you are losing. I continue gambling and focus on recovering my losses until I spend all money.

It is difficult to recovering your losses because you will need to spend more money, which you cannot expect to win in the next round. In gambling itself, you will need the luck to recover your losses and win some money, and you need to realize that luck will not always come to you even if you add more money to place the bets. So yes, self-discipline is a must have for every gambler, and I think if we have that thing, we can stop gambling anytime, and we will not feel difficult to stop gambling.

Not about winning, nor losing. It will be easier to stop when you experience bad things in gambling. For example: you become addicted to gambling, while you are trapped in debt.
There are actually rare cases (not sure) that a gambler actually has a harder time stopping when he's in a pretty bad spot with regards to other matters in his life, whether it be a problem concerning money or not. In those cases, those people could rightfully be called addicts, and would usually stop at nothing to earn money to gamble. They'd probably mortgage their own organs or even life if they could, all so that they could gamble it out.

Imo though, its a lot easier to stop if you know what you're doing. In a sense, after winning a few times or losing a few times, you'd come to consider that you're gambling no? You'd come to realize that, okay I'm losing too much got to stop or okay I'm pretty lucky today, but I shouldn't really push it. Its the mindset that counts, not the situation I suppose.

For me it's also stopping when you're winning I find it easy to stop because I don't make several bets on sports  but sometimes I get carried away in the moment and continue making 2 to 3 more bets that would put me back to even. Losing is much harder for me because it feels like a snowball effect and  it's slightly hard to not take the chance when you've done several recoveries after being down by at least half of your starting bankroll. This is just my mindset when i'm losing my bankroll and not losing overall.

The self-discipline are need of the player we know that not all the player don't have that attitude because they already greedy or addicting playing.

It is really hard for them to stop because they routine is always play gambling .If you have self-discipline you can do what ever you want to do in gamabling like what mentioned already if you are winning you can stop and you also lost you can stop too depends to your commitment.

I like to know your opinion about the question because I believe every gambler has a different way of managing himself.

My answer to the question is I can easily stop when I am winning because I am afraid I might end up with nothing since I know to myself that I am not yet consistent enough to win in gambling, however, based on my experience, I can't easily stop when I am losing despite the fact that I already set up a limit to gamble in a certain day or a certain session.

Do we have the same attitude or not?

I have never looked into that aspect, although I generally stop after winning upto a certain amount. Sometimes I also do it when I am loosing continuously. I think it depends on the situation. You cannot guarantee how much you can win niether how much will you lose. I have set a target for both the situation and I bet according to that.

I think it is easier to quit when I am losing After losing,
Unlike most of the gambler after I lose money from gambling I don't feel eager to go back as soon as possible,
It would take some time before I could go back to gambling because of the thought of losing more money.

Stopping when winning is much easier than stopping when you are losing, you have this attitude and thinking that your next roll could be your turn to win, it's actually a false hope, but it happens to me several times i end up adding more funds and hoping luck will be on my side on the next roll.

The other players once they lost money they did not control their self playing more because they have goal and that is to turn their losses.
Others too who are greedy once they win a money they want more so they still playing and not stop until they lose money.

I have that two attitude before but after I realize this is not good to me because I only suffer to what I'm doing I change it and I know now my limitations and how to be contented of what I get  or what I win.

Me personally I found it hard to stop betting whenever I'm winning or up by a decent amount before I don't know too why I am like that way back then tho nothing really bad happened like getting drained due to continuous betting. But now I can easily do both. I set a limit for my profit and loss and it helps me a lot to have discipline when gambling.

Well, I c0nsider myself different from you. Because at the time that I win, it gives me courage to play some more coz in my mind that I am lucky this time and I don't want to stop my winning streak. Losing is always in the way to happen and that is why I have to enjoy by then while I'm still winning for that it never happens all the time. Who knows, if we can make for at least a 3 straight wins if we keep playing.

Usually it's easier to stop when you're losing because you have some money on your account or in your pocket and if that runs out you will stop whether you like it or not.

When you're winning and have more and more money on your account you'll keep betting until you get a losing streak and run out of money which will stop you from betting more. In the end math wins Cheesy

when I win I withdraw part or 75% of my total money, then play the rest.
and if on the same day I do not get any victory I have to stop I know it is difficult but must to do, some people will continue to play and hope to restore their defeat in the next game but it will get worse. Because there is still tomorrow, remember good luck doesn't come just today, there are still other days so just relax, dont play too hard.
It's too easy to enjoy in gambling when you have that kind of discipline, if you keep doing that you'll never regret gambling but once you break that habit even for once, for sure you'll be at risk of losing your control and once you loss your control, that's the start where you ruin your life as a gambler.



that i say you need to control yourself, its not hard but after you get used to it, it will easy to do.
for example, when im playing poker and get very strong card like AA or KK then i lose when all in, its very sick and i got mad  usually i punch my table when i lose that game.
but for know my reaction just ordinary, and think maybe im just not luck in that turn.
Yeah, you may lose or win in gambling but it does not mean we will lose our hopes and will not play next time. In poker, many people lose some part of their money when they began to play but gradually they get trained and get poker experience which is the only important thing in gambling so I feel excited and keep gambling if I  am winning and stop to take a break for some time to get fresh.

Some even may say neither. When you're winning, you're driven by greed to win more and feel confident that you're lucky. On the other hand, losing just makes you feel the urge to bet more in hopesof recivering your losses.

But for me, I'd say winning is a much easier time to quit than losing. You can easily flip your emotion from greed to contentment, but it's difficult to change a revenge mindset.

You are 100% right here! And this applies not only to gambling. I like to play chess with a short time control (2 minutes for the whole game). And I have very big problems in order to stop in time. Sometimes I finish playing at 2 a.m., although I only wanted to play a little before bedtime  Grin

For me it is easier to quit when I am winning because there are times that when I lose on gambling I would like to comeback and gain back what I lose.
So it is easier for me to quit when I win since there is nothing that would hold me back nothing to gain back since I already have a profit I just need to control my greed.

It's all about setting a Target and try to meet it . Gambling is not am everyday thing. So punters needs to know when to take a break and come back stronger. If you lose three times in a row, that's a sign to stay away for a while. This also depends on your strategy. If your profit target is met, then you can stop and continue later.
