Hi ladies and gents of the forum's gambling discussion board, coming through with this question born out of an argument I just had with a good friend of mine a few minutes ago.
So, I was sitting side to side wit a good friend of mine this evening while having a chat about making money, we talked about several ways we can make a lot of money in the most possible short time, in the midst of the options we both came of up, I brought up the option of gambling, suggesting it to him as one of the most easiest and fastest way to also make money if and when one is lucky, he agreed it's a good option but complained about the possibilities of betting addicted, and as a result, losing back all the money after winning it, then I told him that if I won like $100,000 from gambling, I did quit gambling forever, he laughed and screamed impossible, he said that the more money one makes from gambling, the more they get hooked, we argued about this until we both decided it was time to go home and rest.
But then on betting home, I thought within myself if I can actually quit gambling for ever if I won a $100,000 like I said, and I concluded I can, if not for anything, atleast, for the fear of losing back all of that money to the casino.
So, here putting out the same question, what will make you quit gambling forever? A win or a loss, or both?
The only reason you should quit gambling is if you have lost control. If gambling becomes such an addiction that it drives your day - similar to people hooked on drugs, alcohol or even just video games. If it's the thing that you're sat at work dreaming about doing when you finish, you are probably taking things too far. The adage that everything is ok in moderation applies here, because too much of one thing is going to generate very bad habits and other things, even personal hygiene, can start to become neglected when you are too focused or addicted to one thing. You should always be able to stop gambling and walk away for a month without a second thought.
