Is it harder to control gambling or limit it without falling into excess than to stop gambling forever?
For me it is much easier not to gamble at all, than to limit gambling, create gambling budget. Once started, once success start to appear, it is always hard to stop or pause. As usually, greed ruins everything. Setting limit isnt that good, because it can easily be corrected.
There is an example on a forum. There is a user who try to recover from addiction (even though he says he has recovered), had a pause in gambling, then returned and say the is limiting amount of attention he gives to gambling. However, I notice him around gambling topics all the time, I notice him trying luck in "game and round" challenges.
