From what I observed from this statement is that, many of these gamblers have been misled by this very remark of a hypothetical hope which has liquidated their account. While some who would have quit gambling long ago still hedge their hope on the idea behind the statement and keeps wagering.
Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?
So I misunderstood it. I thought we should continue as long as we still have some money in our balances inside our gambling accounts. And I think many won't agree with this one. Anyways, on the real meaning of the quote, I agree on it. We can also apply it on other areas in life and not just in gambling that we must not give up easily.
Quitting won't let you grow. I think that even if a gamblers didn't hear the quote, there is a big chance that they will still continue. It's either they are addicted already or they don't see gambling as a wrong doing. It's just part of their normal life. I think there is no such quote here in my country but people here can say negative things about gambling only to discourage someone from engaging on it.
