If I am happy with my winnings I just stop. I don't have the need to push my luck. Statistically it is unlikely that you will get into a big winning streak because the house edge will eat you up sooner or later.
I always play with money I am prepared to lose and that number doesn't change. If I lose it, that is it. It is time to walk away.

As a casual gambler, it is easier for me to stop when I lose since my strategy is simple, "go big or go home." I mean, I always play with a planned budget, let's say $25 at the weekend. This $25 is money that often goes to zero when I play lol.
When I won, I used the money to buy stupid stuff, then regret why I bought that stuff. Well, that's how I enjoy my simple life.
When I won, I used the money to buy stupid stuff, then regret why I bought that stuff. Well, that's how I enjoy my simple life.
That's hilarious!
... and also pretty much correct, at the same time. When I say that I enjoy gambling regardless of whether I'm winning or losing, people often ask, "How can you enjoy losing?". Well, because I often buy stupid stuff with the won money, the stuff I regret buying, and that feeling of regret is not what I want to experience in the nearest future. How about that? )

This situation depends on the gambler on how he can manage to control himself. Even you win or lose its still tempting to continue because of our emotions.
In my case stop when I win is much easier because of the thought its not usual to win when I gamble plus the fact that I dont play to grow my money, so its like a bonus to win while enjoying the game.
For some gamblers I think its not easy to stop if you're losing because as much as possible you will try to recover back your losses unless you have set limit on how much to spend when you gamble.

I am one of the persons who never stops playing if I am winning because I think to myself I didn’t have this money before so why not reinvest it in the slots I am playing.I can stop playing when I am losing because I start to think and if I continue to play I risk to lose more and more.Even when I am winning I only continue to play up to the point where I start to lose my initial amount of money.

From my experience I find it easier to stop while losing already rather than keep on playing after a win, and this is the case no matter what game I play, as it seems that as soon as I got a win I can happily go away for a while but when I lose constantly its frustrating to see how easily you lose everything. So, I suppose there's some sort of control when to stop.
Control is very crucial once you are engaged to this activities. If you can manage to quit while you are still in positive side that's much better, as you can enjoy your winnings. While in the otherside, it's frustrating when you keep losing and you are still trying to recover your money. Best to have balance mindset, both winning and losing should be well prepared.

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 prefer stop when you are losing, this is hard to accomplish because gambler tends to believe that the next roll will be the next roll that they are waiting so they keep adding and deposit more funds in the hope that they can recover what they've already lost and win some more which is a dangerous thing to implement.

Basically all gamblers can stop anytime without waiting for winning or losing as they wish as long as they have good self control. If have to choose which one is easier then I have to choose that it is easier to stop while I'm on losing all my balance because I have no more money to play. Of course, it will be better if we can stop before losing too much and we can stop when we are winning (reaching the target).

In my case, I have difficulty in stopping especially if I am winning as I am thinking that I am lucky in that day and I can gather a huge amount of money if I will not stop.

Do we have the same attitude or not?
So for me, it is easy to stop when I am losing as I always put a limit to my gamble expenses so I will not end up losing all my money. It's a matter of control only and you will not be addicted in gambling then you can control how much you are going to use to your gambling.

I think, both winning and losing in gambling is more related than separated. It is more of a pattern. Let's say you are losing too much in gambling, as you feed your greed, you won't stop playing because of the urge of winning. And once you achieve a win, it will give you a hopr that "I can win" because you have experienced it. Then your body will be loging of winning again not realizing how big the loss already.
The signal to achieve more winning will bigger because we already won before. But as you say, we won't stop playing because the greediness factor in ourselves will bigger too, and that attracts us to keep playing gambling. If we follow that sign, we will not stop even if we win so much money because we will not realize that we cannot always win in gambling.
That will happen the same if we lose. If we lose in the games, we will curious about the game, and that can make us to playing more until we feel desperate. Perhaps, in this case, stop during a win and stop if we lose cannot make us easier to stop gambling.

there is nothing to choose,because what is important?if we knew when to stop no matter when losing or when winning the problem is our capacity on how to implement such action.
there are many gamblers that made a promise when they win this amount,or losing this amount will make them stand from the table but if things comes?they refuse instead continue to either win more or chase the losses.

For me, I can't easily stop when I am winning a gamble because I have this kind of mentality: "beginner's luck". When I still win the game, my mind automatically sets that "maybe another try I will win again and can make my money grow even more". As for losing, I can easily stop when I start losing because I have no money to put on. So it's easy for me to quit.

for me is easier to stop after a nice win than stop while losing. I usually have a goal when i gamble, so, if i don't reach that goal i get busted on the way, but only bet what i can lose, i don't go beyond that point nowadays.
Setting a goal would be a nice way in order for one to have a "self control" and if that goal is being accurate, such that everytime reaching a goal, the gambler stops, it would prevent gambling addiction. And that is self discipline.

In my experience, I can stop in either of the outlined cases. So whether I am winning or losing, I still have to spend. When I'm winning, I usually stop due to the fact that I don't want to get too excited and then my winnings turn to losses. On the other hand, I would stop playing when I'm on the losing end in other not to incur more losses. It's a two way thing for me because my plan with gambling has always been to earn rewards while having fun. If I'm not doing that then I just stop, get a chill pill and try at a latter time.

We indeed could not stop gambling everytime we lose. It's like being on an endless discomfort and missatisfaction whenever we lose, ending up we bet and play more. It is a good practice to stop whenever you are winning. You already testedbyour luck and hitting it at once doesn't mean you would be lucky for the whole day. As they say, one is enough, two is too much.
From my experience I find it easier to stop while losing already rather than keep on playing after a win, and this is the case no matter what game I play, as it seems that as soon as I got a win I can happily go away for a while but when I lose constantly its frustrating to see how easily you lose everything. So, I suppose there's some sort of control when to stop.
But some mindset differs from the others. Maybe you find losing as your limit and be satisfied that you aren't lucky whenever you lose. But surely, most of gamblers that won and had a lot of experience losing would find it hard resisting the chances of winning. That's why even you often win, becoming an addict would just make you lose uour time in life in the end.

you eventually improve if you keep learning, losing control is normal to people as we are just human, we have our emotion but keep doing the same mistake over and over, I would call that stupidity and we have no room for improvement in gambling, instead it will only destroy our lives.

Well, In my case,
Gambling for a long time, I realized that in gambling, success can only be overcome by controlling greed, patience and anger.
When I repeatedly won, after a certain period I stopped playing, I control my excitement and greed and concentrate on other tasks
then I come back again with a normal fresh mind as if nothing had happened.
Likewise, When I lost repeatedly, I control my patience and anger, I give up playing and hold my rest bankroll safe.
Then when my anxiety subsided, I come back again.

Sounds like a plan formed by somebody who has learned their lesson the hard way.
Good on you for the new strat!

It's definitely easier for me at least to stop while I'm ahead.
I suggest that crypto gamblers have a setup whereby any BTC that they withdraw in winnings to a fiat bank account are kept their - and they only play with the profits that they make or whatnot. That way, you are sure that even if losses accumulates later down the road, there is too much effort in converting the fiat back to BTC to feasibly go and get more coins to chase your losses with.
But both these activities are just as equally destructive. Have a good mindset and you shouldn't ever have these issues.

I actually dont think that would do much to curb the issue.
What's to stop them just playing at a fiat casino? I actually think it might make the problem worse, since they'll then be forced to play at a casino that is even more accessible, thereby fueling the addiction.
I think there should be some sort of bank account option, where users can opt to block deposits to known casino sites. That might work to increase the barrier to entry.
I beg to differ in this instance.
Fiat casinos generally are much less accessible than crypto ones, and the barrier of entry are way higher and betting is not real time all the time. They also have a much bigger house edge compared to crypto casinos on average, which are all factors that can deter gamblers.
Of course you could self-exclude from crypto dice sites, but what good is that when you have such a vast array of alternatives that you can choose from? Realistically it's not going to help much.
