Well, there could be some exceptions as well. Even though I do not gamble that much recently, I started to gamble regularly, especially on Sportsbet. I also tend to claim whenever I see promotions. It's easy to control yourself when you only place bets on sports. Last week I had some good wins but lost them all in English premier league matches.
If you do not have options to place a bet immediately to recover your loss, you are unlikely to make a wrong decision. Usually, when we place bets to recover our previous losses, we do not have enough time to think about whether it's a good choice. But you have time to think before you place a bet on sports.
I suggest not claiming every time there is a promotion because you have to adjust your budget. And don't immediately spend that budget on all the promotions in that week because there will be other interesting promotions in the following weeks. If you spend all your budget for the week, you may deposit another amount if you see another interesting promotion.
And if you don't have the option to place a bet, it's better not to place any bet to avoid another loss. And if we only want to place a bet to recover a loss, we may rush in choosing the team or player, which could lead to another loss. Make sure you have enough time to analyze the match so you can choose the right team.
Quitting gambling is really hard. Because its addiction does not go away easily. but if some things are in a gambler then he can quit gambling.
- Self-control
- Strong desire to quit gambling
- Patience
- Not be emotional at easily
- Able to handle greed
- Don't panic
- Strong desire to focus on other activities
- Facing family accountability
- Get motivation from a wise person
These factors can help a gambler quit gambling. But not a guarantee.
You give everything it takes to be able to stop gambling. And even though it's not easy, one has to keep trying because by trying, someone also practices what he learns and as time goes by, he will slowly master it well. And in the end, he can stop gambling without leaving any problems.
And don't forget to have a strong intention to be able to stop gambling. Without a strong intention, your efforts may stop in the middle of the road and you will be lazy to start again. It may take time to really stop gambling and it is all worth it.
