Easy to quit for a while, easy to stop betting frequently or limit hours spent on gambling.

Very hard to stop completely.

Most gamblers find it easy to limit their activity and go from daily gambling to doing it on weekends. Staying away from betting for a month or two is usually hard. I'd probably be able to limit myself to doing it once a month, but I'll probably never stop because it's a social activity for me. I'd have to change all my friends and stop going out Cheesy

That is another good point I haven't focused on yet, taking a break from gambling for a few weeks is no problem for me. If I don't visit a casino for some time it's not like I start sweating and dreaming of gambling. Probably my brain already knows that it's only a limited period where I stop gambling and that I eventually come back. I am not sure if I could really stop gambling forever. It's just too much fun and I would rather never smoke in my life again than to never gamble again. In my opinion it wouldn't even be necessary to stop forever after becoming rich through gambling. Already changing our habits can help to protect us from losing our life changing winnings again. When it comes to gambling it's not so important for me to place large bets. I would rather place 100 times 1 USD bets than only place 2 times a 50 USD bets. That's why I would probably keep gambling after becoming rich, just reduce my overall bankroll to limit my potential losses and winnings. I am not looking for a large win anymore and therefore don't need to risk a lot of money.
