Is gambling difficult to quit?

It's not so, you guys, be careful, if you want to add more

Don't do it or you can't do that??? If that doesn't work

Life is george, but on the contrary

You can make money by gambling

Going into gambling with the desire to make money is not a very good idea. Of course, you want to win! That's the fun part.

But those two are not the same. You can get lucky, hit big, and bring home a sum that you would work for months or years. The problem is that repeating it is not that simple and can get you in trouble if you are not careful. You won't get away from the math behind gambling, which makes every game more favorable for the casino than the player. Thinking you can make a stable income from that is just foolish and, honestly, a road to hell.

Think about gambling as an activity that has a cost, like everything. Yes, you can win, but the chances that you will get more than you invested are low. If you have fun gambling, the best thing is to decide what cost is acceptable for you before you start and make that number solid. Think about it as money gone. "I am paying this for the activity" If you win, you get something extra. If you lose, you can try it again with the next budget. Important is that it is still fun for you.

Do not ever think of making money from gambling. If you win, take it as finding a golden nugget in a river behind the house. Take it and walk away. You won't find such a nugget easily, and you might get drowned trying.

I know zero people who make money from gambling except casino owners ahahah

this is my main entertainment, I don’t think it’s about super earnings

why quit, just reduce the budget

For some people the option to reduce the budget doesn’t exist.

Gambling addiction is very real. It takes a lot of time and much more pain to get through to the other side

It may be difficult for those whos' been playing for years and uses gambling as a source of income. Its a high risk path but others enjoy the thrill of it. I think it is important to have self control, it's fun to win and its still fun to lose but loosing all your money is no fun. Best to bet wisely ❤

You're absolutely right; self-control and responsible gambling are key. It's all about finding that balance for each individual. 😊🎰💰

People with gambling addiction don’t have self control and don’t know how to bet wisely.

You're oversimplifying a complex issue. Gambling addiction involves various psychological and behavioral factors. It's not solely about lacking self-control or wisdom in betting. There's more to it than meets the eye.

Please don’t try to tell me what gambling addiction is. I suggest you read up on some of my story before posting comments such as that

That's what I think too, and you definitely have to be careful about gambling, because it's very easy to fall into addiction. I wish there were as few people like that as possible and nobody had a problem with it, even though I know it's not possible. 😥

You're right, I respect your experience. If you're comfortable sharing, I'd love to hear more about your perspective on gambling addiction.

You're absolutely right. Gambling can be a slippery slope for many, and it's a tough battle for those caught in its grip. It's a complex issue with no easy solutions.

Exactly as you say. It's easy to fall into it and very hard to get back out of it. So you always have to be careful and seek professional help when it looks bad. 

You're absolutely right. Taking proactive steps and seeking expert guidance can make a significant difference in navigating those challenging situations.

My perspective on gambling addiction is irrelevant.

Unless you have experienced it, then you know nothing about it.

All the talk around taking proactive steps and seeking expert guidance is absolute rubbish.

A person with gambling addiction isn’t the kind of person that thinks rationally. Otherwise they wouldn’t be addicted.

Agree on that. I think for someone that is already deep into, it's extremely hard to get out of it - at least not without relatives helping the person out of it.

Sounds like you've made up your mind. I'll leave you to it.

It is more about relax and entartaiment, not the way of receiving money. It is hard to imagine that some people really think that casinos can reach them, cause it is more about luck that strategy

I think you may have missed the point of this thread.

Nobody is saying that they only play for relaxation and entertainment.

The addictive nature of gambling doesn’t help a person with an addictive personality.

Once the grip of addiction takes over, you don’t play for relaxation or entertainment or even enjoyment. You play because your mind convinces you that you will win and nothing else matters. All logic and control goes out of the window.

It takes a very long time to be able to train your mind to think otherwise.

This may sound ridiculous to some people, but for a huge number of people this way of thinking is all they understand.

Unless you have been through the torture of gambling addiction then you will never know how difficult it is to gain control.
