After the post "Succesful punting in tough times" and the occasional pleas from punters who want to stop punting, I thought starting a thread around this may help, even if just to assist those of us that may go overboard sometimes to punt more responsibly. So would appreciate any constructive input.

Guys, if you don't agree with the thread, please move on. Some of us would like to stop or at least punt more responsibly. I acknowledge that it is probably not the best place to post such advice and not all points will be applicable to everyone, we all have different circumstances.


Some things that have slowed or sometimes temporarily suspended my punting:

1) Being tight on cash. No money, no punting. Or for those who even punt on credit, no more credit, no punting. So cut up the cards.

However if, you do have cash, such as savings, consider putting it somewhere where you don't have easy access to it like a 30 day account or shares or something. Or, if you are punting from your salary and you know you spend on average Rx per month, undertake to put that amount away every month, i.e. limit disposable income. Best way is to sign up for an investment where the money is deducted via debit order so you don't even see the cash. If all else fails, go blow the money on something else, buy electronics, etc, its still better than punting as you'll have something to show for it.

2) Get involved something else that really interests you that can take some of your focus away from punting. If its something that you are passionate about it will take up your time and energy and you'll find yourself logging onto websites regarding that activity rather than escort sites. I started trading online at some stage and I was constantly looking at my portfolio reading up on shares to pick, etc. I stopped logging onto ESA. I found a replacement that consumed me. It could also be something like cycling, whatever you can get hooked on.

3) Realising the value of money. Firstly, if you think about what else you could achieve with the money you spend on punting, you may think twice about how you spend it. Don't know the story exactly, but apparently someone asked Warren Buffett about buying a new car. He asked how much the new car was and they said $100 000. He said if he invested that money and get a return of x per year and compound the interest then Ill have $500 000 in x number of years. So why would he spend $500 000 dollars on a car. Imagine that for the price that we pay for each punt we could buy at least a few blue chip shares each month.

Secondly, money is payment in exchange for your effort. If you think about the amount of effort and the time that you put in to get your money (time you cannot get back) you'll think twice about how you spend it. If Rx amount that you spend on punting amounts to X hours of work, that is actually what you are giving away. Your time and effort that you can never get back. Perhaps you would want to spend it on something more valuable like family.

4) Stay away from temptation. Difficult one to do because logging on to sites like ESA had become a habit. But it just takes one click on a girl's profile to send one straight back into punting.

5) Go cold turkey for a month. No logging on escort sites, no phoning girls to make bookings. Try and break the habit.

6) Find out if there are any specific triggers. Sometimes, things are not going well at home and that triggers a punting spree. Or you are bored and lonely. Make friends. Join a club. Speak to the wife about sex life or go to counselling. If you can identify some sort of trigger then at least one can start dealing with it.

7) Get help. Sometimes seeing a professional can fast track our efforts and have better lasting results. If one is concerned about costs, don't worry, punting is far more expensive and will continue perpetually if you don't stop. This is by no means a last resort.

8) Masturbate just before you make a booking. The urge will for most go away and youll still have your cash.

Conclusion:

The answer probably lies in a combination of the above. More ideas welcomed.

One suggestion....open a house! Nuff said.....;)

@Veronica why don't you open a house and try control that,you don't own ESA,the ladies or our panties,maybe that will relax yourself..or do what Paige and I am doing...slukking JC..Chill

Am i missing something here,ladies please for a good fuck sake.like seriously take your personal issues somewhere else.

@Vegas sorry your thread is about to go sour

Very good thread. Pretending that the triggers do not exist is the biggest let down. Going cold turkey is so hard that as soon as I manage it, I try to make a book booking to reward myself. Ironic but true.
Recently, I have started a savings for an exotic holiday trip (by my standards), helping a bit but not enough. The moment I see a dark skinned big booty, I lose control.
Will print this initial post, hide it somewhere private in the office and read it over and over when I can.

Thanks mate.

Thanks Miss B.

Very informative post with some real practical suggestions @Vegas. Thank you.

Vegas, reading your suggestions, I think you have answered your question.

If I was at a stage where seeing ladies became too much for whatever reason, I would probably do what you suggested.

Some good advice there.

Very good thread . Punting is an expensive habit. It all depends on your personal thoughts. Some punters are happy go lucky & feel it is better to punt than indulge in some other bad habit like gambling drugs etc. The best way to stop is to ask yourself how you feel after punting. For example would be happy or fine if those close to you found out how would you react?

I once stopped punting.
It lasted 10 days.
