I feel so bother and that is why I decided to ask this question.

We keep talking about gambling addiction and how bad it is to become addicted, does it mean that addicted gamblers lose money all the time? Do you means those guys doesn't win anything at all? Can they not be lucky to win jackpots?

On this board, we are always referring addiction as a terrible thing but does it mean that those addicted gamblers doesn't win money, are they only bounded to losses upon losses?

These gamblers also won huge amount of money, but the problem why they tend to be addicted was due to uncontrollable habits. Several reasons was linked towards this problem, and it has been rising to the maximum tolerance where it became worst.
When their mindset is always winning, nothing will improve but the addiction kepts burning and became a recurring behavior and losing is likely to happen again and again.

Addiction to gambling is mostly about your inability to control yourself, not about the number of times you win or lose from gambling. Somebody can win a lot and still be addicted to gambling because they are not satisfied with whatever amount they win, and they keep going back to gambling without even giving themselves a break,  while someone who loses, can be addicted to gambling because they do not know how to tell themselves to stop even when they are losing amounts of money that they cannot afford to loose.

No, they become addicted because they could have win big and wanted to replicated it and have that same feeling. So it's a cycle, you win huge money and jackpot today, but then you don't stop and come back the very next day, and then what happens? You lost everything including your capital.

And then you go back again, with another money and play the same game over and hope that again, be a big winner. Later, you can't control yourself anymore, and you don't know that you are now falling into the gambling addiction and now it's harder to quit.

Not really though. Being addicted is not all about lossing always in gambling, what addiction entails is that it drives you nuts to the extent that you don't have self control. For instance an Addicted gambler may decide to win 5 to 6 times a day and may decide to continue gambling untill he loses all what he has won. If a person is not addicted he will win a game and stop gambling to avoid much loss. But is such person is addicted he will win and continuously play till he is left with no chose than to lose it all. That is why people preach about addicted Gambler. What is the essence of gambling when you win big and lose it all, all because of addiction, it is better off not to gamble, than gamble and lose on a strict.

This is exactly the problem an addicted person has, living and wallowing in the same imagination and thought as you just presented or described.  If a gambler continues to think that he will one day win a major jackpot that the winning is a must then that's exactly what's going to happen to him when the loses start coming because in order for you to get the wins you must actively play your bet and whenever you feel the urge to stop that same thought play back on head saying "what if this is the right time to win" but the truth is its always a two sided affair.

Oh they win. Just that they lose it all the same later on. And whatever they actually win, it's usually from the debts that they've accumulate so is it really a win in the end?

And in terms of addiction, it's not a terrible thing because it equates to "losing", as I've said, they win just like any regular gambler. it's outside of gambling that things start to look terrible. Debts, ruined relationships, most likely worsening mental health, depression, etc. Those are pretty much the most obvious things an addict can be affected with, maybe a lot more other worse things really. Addiction is a bad thing because it ruins lives, it isn't necessarily limited to gambling itself (which is how you're looking at it imo).

You know one thing in gambling is winning and another important thing is making good use of your winnings, most people that always end in loss or are always in loss when it comes to gambling, it's not as if they don't win at all when they gamble, but the question is, what do they do with their winnings? Do they make good use of it or do they spend it all back in gambling?

Most addicted gamblers win everyday but due to their addiction, they're unable to walk away with their wins and end up spending it all on gambling with hopes of multiplying their current wins. You'll always see an addicted gambler always chasing losses and even more wins, that's the biggest sign of an addicted gambler, when their wins are never enough for them and they end up chasing for more wins and end up losing everything while in the process of chasing more wins, that's how you know an addict.

No and honestly most of the time it's because someone gambles a lot and wins which makes ypu more addicted.  So I'd like to think winning a ton increasing your odds of becoming addicted.  Amd when you lose all the time that's what will cure your addiction because either you run out of money amd you have to face your addiction or you just get tired of losing.

Of course not. Those who are addicted to gambling can also win. But we don't know when they will win or lose. It happens to us and other people too. 

No one knows who will win in the next round. We also don't know when we will win or lose. Those who are addicted to gambling will find it difficult to control themselves when gambling.

They are the ones who can experience more losses than other people. Experiencing a gambling addiction makes it difficult for them to stop. There is a possibility that they will experience more defeats than other people.

No not at all it's not like gamblers who are addicted don't win at all or win a jackpot but the reason why gamblers are advised not to get addicted is that there is something about addiction in gambling because they can win a huge amount of money and still end up losing all remember addiction means something you can't do without and these set of gamblers are people that cannot leave the gambling office even if they win a jackpot as they will still continue to play till they have exhausted all the money they won so that is what addiction does. It's just almost same as drug addicts because they can never do without it they make sure that every time they are under influence of drugs and their body gets adapted to it so it is to someone who is addicted to gambling because of they win a jackpot instead of using the money on meaningful things they will still prefer to gamble it the next day so that is the extent to which gambling addiction is very bad.

I won't say they don't have the chance or luck to win the jackpot but because they are addicted already, that is disastrous for their life. Instead of winning some, they spend it all thinking that there is more. Because what really happens is that addicted people can no longer think of the right thing to do with their money, they spend it all.

They win of course but unfortunately, they lose more.

Addicted gamblers win big a lot IMO but they don't stop, they keep playing til broke. Winning and losing has nothing to do with addiction though, a regular once in awhile gambler can win or lose a large amount in 1 session. It's just a matter of will you chase or not chase losses.

The reason you see all this addiction talk in multiple threads in this section is due to the gambling campaigns require a certain number of posts weekly in the gambling sections. Half the people are just posting for a post.

Gamblers make a wage until they win sometimes due to continuously losing their games they want to keep playing more just to earn back those losses. Once a gambler considered addicted I guess its seems its part of their daily routine like they cant remove anymore and they didnt feel complete their day once they played at least. We know how gambling gives entertainment and of course, the chance to win money that's why people seeing the potential of gambling can be a quick flip with just a minimal wage.

There is a victory that is only temporary and ultimately a failure in the lives of those subjects.

If you want to counter the argument, you can point out people who are addicted to gambling and are successful in life.

Like in a 1 hour game round, players can win/lose/draw and experience all kinds of different emotions, but at the end of an entire day of playing, ask if the gamblers won or not? And if that's not enough, consider playing time in weeks/months/years... I'm sure it's a fact that people addicted to gambling will lose.

Those addicts win sometimes but the problem is that those wins don't go anywhere but gambling again and at the same time, those wins that they can get out is mostly spent on other vices, that's why they end up with nothing more and get less money than they should and end up piling more debts plus most of the big wins that they got even they use it wisely, it will end up in the debts and they're useless after all the debt is paid.

I do not agree with your phrase that addicted gamblers only lose money on gambling instead they have a high ratio of winning gamblings.My personal view about this is that I know addiction in gambling is a very bad habit which may destroy some one life and make him poor and create tensions.But these all are negative sides of addiction but what if we look to its positive one I know the positivity are less in gambling addiction but a lesser thing is better than nothing.As due to addiction, a person has a wide range of experiences in the gambling and they won many gamblings, but the worst things is that they did not stop and continuesly doing gambling until they lost all their money.We are only looking to their negative side and ignore them because of the addiction and can't take advantage of their experiences.

That is what happens. When I win a good prize I cashout and log out. Some people, on the other hand, think they are on a roll and don't stop playing. In the end, the more you play, what inevitably happens is that you lose because of the house edge. And also that the house edge has a negative compound interest effect. Einstein said that compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. Now think that it works against you.

Every gambler has different narratives about why they become addicted to gambling yes majority of them win some win a small amount and gamble more to win more and some gamblers win huge amounts of money and want to duplicate those wins and win, when they keep playing they suffer losses and they chase their losses it's an ending cycle, for an addicted gambler even winning a jackpot will not stop them from continuing to gamble because they have found the thrill in gambling that they cannot found elsewhere.

If they are not winning they would have given up of course they do win and because of the misconception that they can make a living from gambling they continue to try and continue their effort to gamble until its impossible for them to get out.

Gamblers losing money will make them come back all the time to take back the losses. That's what they do as being told every time by gamblers, they chase their loss and to win the money back, they keep wagering in hopes of hitting the jackpot of their lives. But even when they get the big win, most if not all are already addicted to the thrills.

Guy, did you even read what I wrote and did you also read what you are writing? You are out of line from what you are saying because I am asking a question that doesn't relate to this response.

What did you think I presented or described? I didn't mention any addiction problem.

You are right that an addicted gambler will also win the games along with losing the games. It is also possible that he may win big jackpots because winning in gambling is purely luck based. It does not matter if one is addicted, he can still make millions from gambling but there are two problems with gambling addiction.

First, if he does not win and keeps losing more than his wins, he will never stop playing and continue losing his capital to the time he is empty-handed. A non-addicted person knows when to quit and how much portfolio to put in gambling but the addicted gambler never thinks this way. He wins a jackpot, well and good but if he does not win, its a big problem.

Secondly in this scenario, when he wins big, he has no way to get that money out of gambling. He will keep on playing (regardless of more wins or loses) and eventually end up his portfolio. Addiction means that gamblers want to gamble all the time, no matter what happens.

Gamblers who are addicted will continue to play gambling until their desires are fulfilled and it can be concluded that due to excessive behavior, gamblers who are addicted to clearly experience a lot of loss of money due to frequent betting in the maso and defeat.

But that does not mean that gamblers who are addicted can not get a victory if on that day he is getting good fortune so the luck of victory he will get too.

You don't need to be bothered. Or do you want to be addicted, or you are already an addict and have not made a winning the reason for your wondering.  ;D


It is much talked about because of the phenomenon and its characteristics of always playing and winning and losing. It distractions are enormous for other aspects of life and it moreover on the extreme, it leads you to so much instability, dramas, heart attack from loses, bad feeling, loneliness and family troubles.


They win and also they lose it back because they are consistent in playing which is one factor to losing your bet. Addicts win but they lose it easily because they will keep playing for a bigger win. They gamble all time in all season.

Gambling addict do not only lose while they gamble, they make money too but they do not use the money that they have made wisely.  Gambling addict lose more time than they win because of their addiction. If they win, they will still continue to gamble and waste all the money and then they will have to start from the beginning and begin to gamble again. Gambling addict have a bad habit of not resting, if they lose they will decide to chase after their losses to want to win them back. Gambling addict are not disciplined, they do not care if they are winning or losing and since they do not keep records of their gambling activities they would not know when they are at lost. Gambling addict are the worst type of gamblers because they depend on gambling for money yet gambling is not giving them any money but they would not want to stop gambling.

Actually, we can talk from another point of view regarding what you are asking about, but usually when we or the community discuss addiction and all kinds of things. This doesn't mean that someone always loses straight away in every betting session they do. It's just that most of us speak in general terms to make it shorter and easier for each other to understand. but if we talk in the scope of betting sessions, be it ordinary gamblers or even those who are addicted. It doesn't necessarily mean that they immediately lose in the betting session or game.

So like this, let's say you are betting or playing a casino game. the course of the game is not always as you say it is, at least ups and downs are something that usually happens in betting activities. Sometimes, when we play, luck is on our side and we get a big win. The problem is, an addict is more motivated to always remain active in a game or gamble. In the end, the money for winnings disappeared again. It is also possible that an addict can withdraw the money he earned from his winnings. whether it's winning Maxwin or even the jackpot.
The problem is, most addicts increasingly prioritize their gambling activities. In short, they make deposits again and again after getting big wins before. In the end, the money they earn goes back to the casino. Well, more or less like that, if anyone wants to correct or add to the points I conveyed, please do so.

Addicted gamblers do not lose all the time but their losses are more than their win and the reason behind this is that they aggressively or greedily decided to continue gambling Instead of thinking with an active mind.

There are also some responsible gamblers who gamble with great thoughts and they are hiding their feelings as they know that with using emotions they will lose more. In gambling one cannot reduce losses because there is no actual knowledge present that can help to put an accurate bet but one can overcome loss by not gambling all the time and use a fixed sum of it.

In fact, if we talk about profit or loss in gambling, it depends on each person's luck. If the person is lucky in every game, whether he plays a few or a lot until he becomes addicted, he will definitely make a profit. Maybe my thinking that addicted people will only lose money all the time is because every gambling game is designed to provide a profit for the casino or gambling operator in the long run. For example, in games such as slot machines, roulette, or blackjack, there are probabilities determined such that in the long run, the casino will always make a profit. The more often someone plays, the more likely it is that their overall results will be closer to a loss. Moreover, most people lose in gambling, they definitely try to win back the losses by gambling more, and this can lead to even bigger losses.

Well, those you have mentioned are true, also from the question of the OP, to make it short, don't expect to win in gambling, or its better to say that its better to expect that you will lose in gambling than you will win, that's the reality of gambling because like that, even if a gambler will earn in his gambling its not sure that it can cover all the losses of that gambler unless he/she got a big jackpot, or in other scenario when a gambler win a huge amount of money, instead of using those money to pay debt or to start a business or more secure way of earning, they will use what they have won and eventually will lose it all, gambling is a cycle of losing money, if a gambler will not get out of that cycle or loop then expect that a gambler will not go anywhere.

The odds for any casino game are in the casino's favor. This meansת that the more you gamble, the more the math works against you, and you end up losing your money.

I think that gambling addiction is fraught with more than just financial disadvantages. I think that any addiction, be it gambling, drugs, alcohol or something else, firstly, negatively affects your life. That is, falling into dependence a person ceases to be free. He stops thinking like a free person, all his thoughts are filled with gambling, his personal life fails because the person spends a lot of time and resources on his addiction.
Answering your question, I will say that it is possible that once upon a time people addicted to gambling win the jackpot, but if a person does not get rid of the addiction, then there is a high probability that he will leave all this money in the same casino.
Of course, it is worth noting that very few people win the jackpot; basically, all people with gambling problems suffer large financial losses

Do imagine what a gambling addict will do after he wins the jackpot prize?
Of course, he will keep on playing until he loses it all again. There's no stopping them because all they want is to keep on playing without any end to it.
A gambling addict means he cannot control the urge to gamble over and over again. There's no rest. That's why this sickness is the most expensive type of bad habit in all kinds of habits. At least drugs will make a person so down that he won't be able to use them again for a day, alcoholics will make them drunk and sleep overnight. I am not saying they are good, just comparing the difference in the expense. A gambling addict could go all day and never rest until he is damn so sleepy that he cannot control his eyes anymore. Then, the next day he will do it again.
That's why they tend to lose money because there's no time to take long breaks after a win, worst of all, all they need now is down in front of their computer because of online gambling.

Of course, it’s terrible when a player can’t stop and plays every day with minimal breaks, but sooner and later this will come to an end. The player simply lives in the moment and does not want to predict what will happen to him in 3 days or a week. He has become a victim and wants absolutely nothing. I don’t know what to call it, but I would call it minimal interest in life mixed with enormous laziness and depression. I don’t want to tell him that everyone should help him get out of this, it’s extremely difficult, because until he himself wants it, nothing will help the addicted player. He needs to stop and understand that life is given to us once and time cannot be returned back, and if he does not stop doing this now, then his life will be of low quality and aimless.

I advise such players to think and study how the casino makes money, and not concentrate on the fact that he wants to win no matter what. After this, I advise you to watch a large number of interviews with addicts, it helped me a lot, because I looked at what this leads to and I see the same result for all addicts, these are debts. I want to say that a deep rethinking of the process is needed by the player himself, and not by anyone else.

I agree with you, Many gamblers experienced winning huge amount but because of wanting to earn more money or what we called "greed", they ended up losing more rather than winning, That's also one of the reason why a person having an obsession to gamble more and more because they want to regain those money that they've lost. We should keep in our mind that gambling is not all about winnings, it is much more of losing and how good you are when it comes to decision making and predictions.

Addiction can be in both ways. You are keep winning and losing since both result can give you motivation to play further that cause addiction. You are lucky if you are addicted due to frequent winning and stop right on time tho.


Being addicted means you allocate most of your time on gambling. It’s either you are winning big time or losing gives you a negative impact to quality of life because you are always being greedy to earn money. No addiction is good because it means you are sacrificing something important just to focus on what you are doing.

Either your health, family, money and other aspect of your life is already sacrificed. That’s why it’s important to have a balance or moderate gambling.

No one loses every single bet in gambling and wins every single bet no matter how addicted or recreational he is.  Gambling results depend on luck, so those who have good luck will have more chances of winning and less chances of losing, and those who have bad luck will have less chances of winning and more losses. a gambler faces both sides.  No one just wins or just loses.  Gambling is conducted with both wins and losses

Not necessarily all the time,but addiction to gambling often leads to frequent and substantial financial losses.The compulsive urge to gamble can drive individuals to wager money they can't afford to lose,resulting in a cycle of wins and losses that ultimately tilt heavily towards the latter.While occasional wins may offer temporary relief or reinforcement of the behavior,in the long run,addicted gamblers typically experience net losses due to their inability to control their impulses and make rational decisions about their gambling habits.These losses can have devastating financial consequences,exacerbating the addictive cycle and potentially leading to significant debt and other adverse outcomes.

I can assure you that those who are gambling addicts will only experience defeat forever, those who are gambling addicts have no ability to control themselves, every time they have money, they will immediately use it for gambling capital even when their money runs out, they will create new debts to use as gambling capital, this is the reason why most gambling addicts always lose and will always lose, they will never make a profit when gambling.

It's impossible if a gambler never won except they only gamble for one session and choose to completely avoid gambling.

Any gambler will win few times, but they will face lose more than win.

Using common sense, if someone never win in gambling, they will not become addicts because they view it as a way to lose money.

What make people become addicts because they ever win and the money can change their life, but they lose it all since they can't manage money and they try to gamble more.

If we really talk about the gambling addiction, then money is the least important thing that gambler looses. Besides money, he looses time and peoples trust in him. Or I can call it reputation also. That is something hard to build and easy to lose. Money can always be earned, addiction can be cured, but if a gambler has screwed up with someone, then it will very hard to regain trust. In addition people put tags on others. Hard to lose «addicted gambler tag». People will always have special attitude toward such person.

I see so many people talking about gambling and its addiction without having any idea or clue about what they are saying. Unless you are a gambler I would say that you wouldnt understand how easy it is to get addicted and keep losing. Asking this question is totally fine if you want to understand what actually happens in gambling.
First of all, the casino is a business designed for the owner to make money from gamblers, so logically you shouldn’t expect to win anything easily. The chances of winning something significant at the very start are less than 1%. Second, when you mentioned hitting the jackpot, you should know it is almost impossible in many casinos or slots that a new or regular gambler to get a chance for a huge jackpot, simply because the casino won’t spend a significant amount of their earnings on so many gamblers that just started gambling, most of the time the ones who hit jackpot have already lost bigger than that prize.

On the other hand, anyone can definitely experience a winning session sometimes, but the difference between a casual gambler and an addict is whether you know when to stop. Over the long term it is a sure thing that you will lose if you keep playing. Addicted gamblers may experience huge wins sometimes, but they never cash out or stop playing. They keep chasing more wins or the good feeling when they risk their money, and that my friend is called an adrenaline rush or excitement feeling. This feeling is as addictive as any other drug, and that’s why addicts always lose money in the long term.

Usually yes they are losing terribly most of the time but they can't decide to quit easily since they already been hooked up on the site they are playing that's why other choose to have a professional help so they can getaway with their addiction.

Maybe some of those people win a lot  of money then it came unto their mind that they can do the same if they are consistent that's why we see a destructive behavior done for some people since what they think that their current activity made still fine and they can recover back their fund lost next time. Maybe learn from different opinion and try not to experience this situation. We can enjoy gambling without putting to much pressure on our selves and aim to have fun and not to became competitive for profits.

I also somewhat agree with you that people addicted to gambling also have periods of falling into luck and winning but that is not the final stage in the gambling process, they prefer to end it more with pain when instead of trying to have another plan after winning, they are more proactive with gambling, whether it comes from consciousness or instinct, their depravity is limitless and from the victory achieved, they returned with enormous debt. Stopping at the winning stage, everything has no script behind it, but unfortunately, addicts have behaviors that are too special and difficult to understand in strange ways.

Addiction isn't really about win or lose, it's about how much control they have over their wins and losses. For the fact addiction means they don't have any control over their actions so even if they win big still, they are going to continue and that time they might lose and this keeps on going in an endless loop.

I am remembering an internet story which is true though, someone who worked in garbage disposal won millions in lottery but after few years he came back to work again for the same work cause he lost all the money while gambling, irony though.

It is not that addicted gamblers don't win huge amount of money, they do but due to addiction they don't use the money to invest or for an important purpose but they gamble all their wins in one night or two.

Addicted gambler and a responsible gambler is bound to losses upon losses, because we loss more than the getting profit, which is why it is very bad to be addicted. This is because when you are addicted, you will not be able to control your losses which is connected to your emotions , which is the only difference between an addicted gambler and a responsible gambler. You should also know that money will not always be there for you to gamble which makes it unethical to be addicted, because at a point you might become a pest on people around you.

Gambling addicts might have more chances to win big since they gamble more. However, it shouldn't be an excuse to gamble more than you can afford to lose. Gambling is practically a game of luck, so these people also win, and some also win big. But the problem with them is that even when they win big, they still gamble off the money. This is the reason why many gamblers who win big become broke after some time. This is because instead of investing the money, it will still go back to betting. It is noteworthy to include that gambling addiction is not a terrible condition but a behavioral disorder that can be handled if it is given the right approach.

Talking about the badness of gambling addiction does not mean that a gambling addict never wins when placing a bet, because I am sure that if we play every once in a while we will definitely win as well as gambling addicts, gambling addicts are the behavior of an irresponsible gambler who thinks that gambling is a a place to earn a living so that every day they will gamble and are even willing to lose everything even though they are actually aware that if they continue to play they will continue to suffer losses.

Not all the time, they have a share of winning and the excitement and the winning make them gamble more winning is addictive and so is the thrill of taking risks these two combinations make up why people become addicted to gambling

Even if you're winning it is still terrible if you're neglecting your work and personal life and it causing depression, A gambling platform is an entertainment portal, whether you win or you lose you should feel good when you get out of it.

Some addicted gamblers actually win money from what they're doing, but they're so into gambling that they don't consider these 'wins' as wins at all because they are locked into winning the jackpot at all times. If they are not hyperfocused in winning the big bucks, they would realize that there are days wherein they are doing good which may even make them 'feel good' in gambling because it's not always losses after all.

Good examples are streamers who have lost huge amounts in gambling. You can see that they're winning good every now and then, but they don't consider it as something positive, thus continuing to gambling which ends up to them losing it all. If they just realize that they already made money for the day, they wouldn't be too deep into losses at all.

That's why it's important to control ourselves so we don't overdo it. Sometimes people are never satisfied with our winnings at gambling so they continue the game trying to get more, even though they should have stopped gambling but instead they continue, that's the wrong choice, definitely not. will be successful because gambling is not like that. You have to know when to gamble and stop gambling. If you can do that, it means that person can control himself properly.

Everyone must have been like that, never feeling satisfied with their winnings and achievements in gambling, even though victory will not come a second time in one moment, but people prefer to continue gambling so they lose and go bankrupt and even become addicted to gambling which ultimately makes them continue to be curious. and continues to play even unconsciously experiencing defeat every day without caring how much money he has lost from his savings, this is like seeing my friend because it's almost like that, but he has changed his game to be more calm and relaxed, he doesn't want to achieve high wins for him now is to win with whatever profit is enough to enjoy it.

Yes, addicted gamblers lose money frequently because they are always finding it difficult to stop gambling whenever they are losing, which is always making them lose frequently. When gambling, you are supposed to know when you should stop gambling, when you are losing, you should know when to stop, and when you are winning, you should also know when to stop. Don’t say you won’t stop gambling just because you are winning, the winning won’t continue.

Addicted gamblers do win, but if the amount won and lost is calculated, then you will come to discover that the amount lost is more than the amount they have won. The mindset addicted gamblers always have is that if they don’t stop gambling, time will come when they will be able to hit the jackpot.

The main reason why gamblers still play is clearly because of the hope of winning. so gamblers will not always experience defeat in gambling. some random wins are common. it's just that addicted gamblers have no control over their gambling, so instead of looking for safe bets, they will gamble until they get their targeted winnings. that's what makes them experience defeat more often than victory.

Gambling addiction is quite dangerous, it does not only relate to the gambler himself. but also the people around the gambler. including family and friends who can suffer the effects of their bad addiction.
gamblers see the chances of winning as they wish. and that's what makes it very difficult for them to stop before they lose everything.

The streamer example you gave, I don't think they are even to be considered as addicts because they are in it to win more members to follow them and that is strictly for business. They are also not in the same level with gambler who is an addict because they are paid to stream unlike the gambler that won't have any fall back bankroll when he loses his capital. Hence, on the last part, streamer don't discontinue even when they realize that they have made money, they continue to see that they show intending members how to take the right steps in betting a particular game.

They do win money, some of them are actually that lucky, these gamblers who are addicted don not loose money all the time, they only behave in a way that sometimes doesn't present them to be in control of their habit and that's is why it has always been referred to like a problem and not the fact that they win money or not, they actually do win money but they most times don't get to make good use of the money and that gets to put them in the situation where they are been considered bankrupt and since they seem to lack control over the habit, they eventually result to unhealthy habits to fund their gambling habit which in turn make many others consider them bad.

These addicted gamblers could actually be winner who probably win game often but they do reinvest the money back because they tend to believe they are most definitely goin to make back the whole fund on their next game and due to the fact that they are addicted, they always have this urge to gamble and they try to satisfy it by almost every means possible which sometimes includes using funds that may not be theirs as well.

Streamers are not meant to be in the picture as it's not regarded a form of addiction. Streamers as you already said, Gozie, are in for the business and are just marketers who work for the casino. Rumor has it that they get funded by the casino to wager while streaming. Back to the discussion, I'd say that addicts always lose, nothing else. It's a dreaded form of gambling and not all addicts make it to 5 minutes in the game before all their money gets exhausted.

I've read of an addict that goes all in immediately he gets to the casino. So, gambling addicts find themselves always losing. That doesn't mean they don't win, it's normal for every gambler to win money, but what mostly matters is whether the gambler went on or stopped after winning. If the player doesn't stop, he'd most definitely lose out all his funds again. Hence, gambling addicts belong to the group of players who don't actually stop regardless of how much they've won in the game. The result always ends up in losses, as they don't get tired of the game. That's what addiction is about, they can't stop playing.

Gambling addicts do win money from gambling, they are not exempted from winning too just as non-gambling addicts. We might be shocked to know that gambling addicts could be getting much wins than those of us that gamble responsibly but those wins don't show in their lives because they without hesitation gamble back those wins instead of using the money to build something development to their life. It is for this that addiction is said to be a terrible attitude.

Gambling addiction is so terrible that people won't know or even believe that as a gambler you have ever won some good amount of money before because they are not seeing any signs around you that depict that due to how mesmerizing addiction must have gotten a better part of the person.

If a gambling addict can spend all of his hard earned salary at ones within a gambling session how much more will he not squander money won from gambling back into same gambling it was gotten from?

Addicted gamblers can wins in gambling but they still don't knows how often they can wins because that depends on their luck. If they are lucky, they can wins even many times but the casino will not lets the gamblers wins so much money. If gamblers can't controls themselves in gambling, they will becomes addicted to gambling and that will cause them loses much money. Even if he can wins, his losses will be bigger than his wins so he must understands that he can only playing gambling for fun. If addicted gamblers wins much money, they will not stops from gambling and will keeps playing gambling. Maybe they will come back to casino and continues playing gambling and hopes they can wins for more. It's a normal if they feels like that and even we also feels like that but we will still difficult to wins in gambling.

Statistically speaking, there are chances a person who is addicted to gambling could win some money during one of his sessions, that is true, but you also need to keep in mind the gambling addict do not care about what he has been able to win in a single session, they will always come back and likely lose that small win he had from the casino, there is where the problem lies, you know.
For example, a person who has a crippling gambling addiction could loss inna single win around 800$, but in the next day, he got lucky and got a win of over 1000$. what do you think he is going to do? stop and enjoy his win? Absolutely not, he will come back in the next day with those thousand dollars and will convince himself he has managed to find his charm or he has managed to find some technique to continue to win. Before he even realizes, he will be penniless again and will continue to gamble even further, accumulating losses, that is the problem with gambling addicts: they cannot stop and in their mind do not desire to stop after a reasonable win.

Addicts just like the regular gamblers and responsible gamblers also win and lose. However the difference lies in a lot of of factors like how much time is spent on gambling activities, how often then win, how much they risk in their stakes with respect to their earnings and even how serious they take their analysis. The fact is that gambling addicts spend more time during Gambling activities compared to responsible gamblers.
In addition, addicts tend to stake more during Gambling activities and also relatively tend to lose more stakes during Gambling activities. If you come to think of it , successful gamblers are often tagged as successful because of their numerous number of wins compared to their losses. In fact gambling addicts on the other hand are tagged as addicts because they lose more often than they make wins.

Addicted gamblers also win, sometimes huge amount of money. But, the money lost so far are often higher than the money won  through gambling. In most cases, this money are not accounted for because these gamblers spend recklessly and still return back to gambling because they know there is more from where that came from. This lifestyle is as good as not winning anything at all.

Gambling addiction is not all about losing money. Addicted gamblers often invest a lot of time in gambling and this often affects other aspects of their lives negatively. I have seen cases where marriages get broken, jobs lost and relationships get strained all because of excessive gambling.  Whether gamblers are earning from being addicted or not, addiction is not a healthy lifestyle.

Yes, they can be quite lucky, and I have already seen them losing big money many times on gambling sessions through videos posted on Youtube. The problem is that they never stop playing, even when they make considerable sums of money, so it's just a matter of time until they end losing everything once again. On long run, the losses accumulated end becoming unrecoverable, despite them winning some jackpots between the losses.

Some lucky gamblers even achieve chasing losses and recovering all their money, reaching profit once again. If they were smart to stop playing on that time, they could quit in profit and put the money into good use, however, they get greedy (due to being addicted) and continue playing until entering a new wave of losses, which they try chasing again. However, the more they reach this stage, less likely it's going to be that they achieve chasing losses successfuly, because they are reaching closer to the long term, that is where the casino has the advantage due to the house edge factor.

These gamblers also make some money back from rakeback feature, although it's pretty possible they also use it to continue gambling until the last penny is gone...

A businessman creates a business like a casino, which is created so that everyone who plays there feels comfortable and safe so that they will come back again and again. Which makes them addicted when they win the game and want to get more and more than the previous one. This is very difficult for most gamblers to control. If they experience defeat at gambling, they continue playing and hope that in the future they will get what they want or be lucky. This is something very fatal how they chase previous losses and they just experience loss after loss all the time.

Addiction tends to suggest that somebody has lost control of their emotions and been dragged so far into a habit that they are not thinking clearly. If somebody is playing casino games, there is a high chance that they will only lose money, because every single game is engineered to give an advantage to the house - these big casinos rely on it to fund everything they do. Even if we were to look at other games, like poker or sports betting where in theory someone could gain a profitable advantage, if people are addicted then they might be playing too much. If you play tired, without breaks, possibly under the influence or are acting out of desperation - it can lead you to make the wrong moves even if you are otherwise very skillful.

Gambling addiction doesn't really need to be losing or winning as that is only the part of gambling itself but what really gamblers lose is their precious time and of course their self as they only think of gambling the urge to gamble never stops and they will find whether good or bad ways ways just to satisfy their addiction.

Winning gambling is fully based on luck. Whether someone is addicted to gambling or not, when luck is on their side, they will surely win. The reason why they always advise us to avoid gambling addiction is that even if you win huge amounts from gambling, you will still surely waste it on gambling again because you are addicted. Someone who is addicted to gambling cannot go a day without gambling, so even the money they need for important things they will always be used for gambling. Since gambling is based on luck, there is no assurance that you will winning. So, why would someone keep wasting their money on it?

Exactly, actually gambling doesn't look at or care about whatever situation you are in or whatever your behavior is, whether you are a regular gambler or even an addict, the chances are still the same, meaning addicts can clearly win in one of the sessions they do with a certain amount, but The difference and unfortunately, as you said, is that addicts tend to always apply greed in themselves, where when they have succeeded in achieving a win, instead of cashing out, they instead continue their gambling session with higher confidence and hope that they will be able to get a large amount of winnings. bigger, which in the end, their actions usually make them experience defeat again which eliminates the amount of their previous winnings.

And as you said, this is where the problem begins, where the inability to accept the fact of defeat will make them experience significant emotions and not be able to control themselves, which in the end returns to gambling with sometimes much higher risk amounts in the hope of recovering from previous losses and this is the cycle. which is always experienced by gamblers who are addicted, and the rest you have explained about the scenarios and various actions that will be carried out by gamblers who are addicted and everything you say is true, because honestly I am one of the gamblers who has experienced addicted several years ago, but I am grateful because now I have managed to recover with a method that I created myself. :)

I think there are 2 types of gambling addicts to be honest. Those who are just addict to gambling games and those who are risk addicts. Those not risk addicts, won't lose much money even if they make some mistakes sometimes by chasing their losses too far away and they will even earn money if they are lucky enough to win a big jackpot one day. But risk addicts will never win money at the end, because even if they win large amounts or jackpots, they will need to bet bigger amounts to feel the same risk sensations. It’s a vicious circle that doesn’t stop with big winnings unfortunately.

Of course yes, addicted gambler are bound to looses because they are always not contented with their winning that even when they wins, they are out of greed of winning more and looses all that won.

They fails to stick to a responsible gambling structure to attain response that may not affect their personal lives, their families and love ones and so also their financial portfolios.

OP, you must understand that once you are addicted to gambling, you would lost morales which may in returns end you regretting after loosing uncountably.

They win but it's not about that. What addiction is all about is that regardless of the results, the gambler who's already possesses addiction will come back. They don't have control anymore to themselves and what they want to do all day long is to gamble. They don't mind about winning and losing because if they win, they're going to bet back that money and if they lose, they'd do the same and chase them. So, it's not about the results but about the habit that has been developed.

No it doesn't necessarily mean that. Addicts can win too, we just don't recognize them as addicts when it's not causing severe problems and these addicts don't seek help, nor their friends are doing interventions.

It wouldn't even make sense to worry about someone's addiction when they themselves don't have any financial problems tied to it, and why would anyone even try to convince that they have a problem if they don't see drawbacks what so ever. Close people rarely know even if there are financial problems, so i don't see why anyone would complain when they just have more money. In same way you don't think people are workaholics before they start to burn out.

Gambling shows differently than alcoholism for example. You can't hide drinking as easily as gambling or other vices, so people wouldn't even know if you had stopped or not, if it didn't affect your budget. It's still technically same addiction mechanism if you can't quit, but people get addicted to many things in life without having severe problems with it, like swimming in icy water. It might be addictive but it's not a problem unless it's affecting other areas negatively.

With your gambling "expertise," you may believe you're great, but you wouldnt know a winning hand if it hit you. Indeed, gaming isnt for the fainthearted. Strategy, wit, and knowing when to hold and fold are needed. Houses usually have an edge. We shouldnt forget who develops those flashy casinos and pays for those winnings. Winners, risk-takers, and money-makers are us. When you win, the pleasure is worth every penny. I advise skeptics to keep quiet and let the real players play. You wouldnt grasp the thrill of a winning streak or outbetting the odds. This feeling is unmatched, and you're not ready for it.

Sometimes it happens that even those people who suffer from gambling addiction win huge sums. But here's the catch: they lose everything anyway, because they believe that luck can smile at them twice in a row. But if you look at it from a mathematical point of view, the chance of this is extremely small.
If someone still manages to win a large amount of gambling, it is best to withdraw the winnings immediately and not return for new gambling sensations.
After all, the casino always wins in gambling, not the players :(

Yes and you cannot just hide the facts. Those people who shares their stories are probably already gone through the same problems which the thread wants to discussed and since they want to help, then they are sharing their lessons so that other people will learn from. It could be their experience on how to deal with their family, having conflicts with others, fixed gaming and more.

Gamblers won. They do. The problem is they lose more money that they win. Causing the, to have frustration then they will bet more even they are losing until they gone bankrupt.

every business man have the common sense to create an opportunity where money can be coming for him, like the casinos today, they have the sense that the way people are gambling theses days, if they create a gambling company and sponsor it with good money they will have enough money and costumers. But as a business man ones you are have the money of a good flows you still have to invest them in other things so that you won't only depend on just one business. One business might crash and the other ones will still be working fine for you (if you have more than one). Gamble is a kind of business that brings problems most times, so you as a casino owner you still have to stand string in different places and you also need to be at the top.

Imagine staring hope in the face while gambling. Every gamble defies the odds and hopes this time is different. Humans are addicted to the possibility of defying the cosmos and winning. Think about harnessing its energy. We applied that mad hope, that sheer longing for the impossible, to everything. Take each day like a high-stakes poker hand. Calculating risks, reading the room, and knowing when to commit and when to retreat

Life is risky. Always, the home is ahead. We're not mindless players. Brains, guts, and skill to learn and adapt: calculate risks, push limits, embrace uncertainty, and ride the wave. Let's walk away with our heads held high, knowing we played the game, lived on the edge, and experienced. This is the greatest victory

Since gambling is just two things, it is either you win or lose, therefore anyone that is gambling must have experienced both profit and loss, but loss is more than profit. This is where gambling is very risky because it is mostly one sided which is more of losses whenever you gamble. For one to be addicted is bad because he can gamble with everything around him and in his reach both funds and cash related stuffs. This is because he lacks self control and he cannot say NO to gamble.

They lose all the time in the long run. This means that they have their ups and downs, but it eventually, be it in a period of a year or 10 years, lead to a total loss and ruin.
I can tell you a story I know from my town. There's a guy addicted to gambling here and he's a shadow of a man. He gambles almost every day, when he wins he gambles more, when he loses he drinks to forget. He had big wins in his time, wins that whole town talked about. One time he won so much that he bought a car for half the money and gambled the other half away. The car eventually needed service for which he didn't have money. He'd rent it out to people to get some, but instead of fixing it he'd gamble it away...

while they usually do lose a lot of money all the time, being a gambling addict has nothing to do with luck, winning or losing money, having a gambling addiction means that you can't fight the urge to gamble whether you win a life-changing amount of money or not. also, I am certain that a lot of gambling addicts have won jackpots.

as I mentioned before, being a gambling addict has nothing to do with winning or losing money, so no, gambling addicts are not bound to losses upon losses but they most likely will be since they cannot fight the urge to gamble all the time.

The simplest answer to this question is a big and capital "NO", addicted gamblers do not always lose their games all the time, or the idea that they are bound to lose all the time is simply false.

And I have to agree that on this forum, users talk about gambling addiction like it's the worst thing that can happen to a gambler, addicted gamblers to always lose, infact, many of them win monies in amounts that are unimaginable.
But then on the other hand, the reason why users on this forum talk so bad about the dangers of one allowing himself or herself get addicted to gambling is because, gambling addiction makes one lose absolute control over their own life, over their activities, and most importantly, over their finances.
An addicted gambler can win a huge amount of money, but his or her addiction to gambling won't allow him or her make good use of that money, but rather, they will mostly end up losing it all back to the casinos, then after some time, they can win again, and then they will end up losing it all back to the casino, and this circle continues for over and over again..

Before everything else, I think that most of us are addicted gamblers... but it's ok as long as we control it, as long as we know our limits it's ok. I don't believe that people lose all the time, gambling life is full of ups and downs for all of us constantly, so we all win and lose constantly, but if a bad period comes we will experience extreme losses.

It's not so bad when we lose money if we can afford to lose it. Problems come when we lose money we can't afford to lose, so if people play with "borrowed money" they can get into serious problems.

So it's up to us (individuals), if we can control our gambling desires we will not get into some serious issues, but if we can't then it's just a matter of time before some big problem will emerge.

Not all the time but most which is why they continue doing it out of frustration. They are chasing both recovery from loss and profit. Cycle starts with them betting an amount they really cannot afford losing then be emotionally affected by loss that they will be forcing the win by means of gambling continuously with the desire of getting the money back. Once they get close or win some games, they will be having desires of winning big, but loss will again take place creating a loop. Addiction won't happen or taking place if not for a reason, before it turns into a compulsion and obsession. The more an individual is affected by the result, the more he would continue doing it without thinking of its long term effect.
Well this is another reason but again will fall to the idea that we do things on purpose. Some gamblers are indeed becoming addicted because of their desires of re-experiencing big profit that they have experienced or saw from other people. Everyone would want an easy money right? However, no such thing exists in gambling. You'll just be surprised tht the reward you desire is smaller than the amount you engaged to achieve that.

first of all you must clearly understand that this is a mental disorder
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK519704/table/ch3.t39/
and has some aspects well defined.

more over, if you talk to addicts, you will discover that they play until they lose everything.
have they recovered their loss? ok they start playing again.
did they win a big jackpot? they keep playing...
they have no limits, or real goals. they play compulsively.
until they lose everything... because they will play even more, and as you know... more you play (bad) more it's easy to loss.

Why do many people say that people who are addicted to gambling lose more money than what they get, it's because people who are addicted to money when they get any winnings, they will definitely use the money they have won to play gambling again at a later time, In this scenario, it does not mean that addicted people never get any winnings at all so they lose money continuously as they play, but whatever form of victory from gambling they will use the money they get to gamble continuously without stopping, so it appears that addicted people will definitely lose and lose their money because they will continue to waste their money in the casino.

And that's where addicted people are bad, especially if they are impulsive and compulsive, it will make things even worse and will be very difficult to help, I think you understand what I am saying and answer your confusion.

The truth is everyone one out there is usually after the notion of maximizing their profit as well as wins on the side of the gambler. However a casino isn't to be blamed for the addiction of any gambler as well as the loss of any gambler in a fair game. The reason is quite simple. Every gambler is responsible for him or herself and so is his characters as well as gambling habits. Gambling addictions arise as a result of poor gambling habits which the gambler failed to fix, and as a result became used to him over time.
I know wagers and jackpots can be very fancy sometimes but it is very necessary as a responsible gambler to have your boundaries and self rules to be able to maintain a decent level of discipline over time.

Because of how terrible gambling addiction can be, that's why it is usually castigated while ignoring the winnings that the gambler can get even with their compulsive gambling lifestyle. 

There's this saying in my place that "if you keep doing good to someone and one day you do a very terrible thing to that person you have been doing good to, he or she will bury all the good things you have done for them, and what will mostly be remembered is the last bad thing you did to them." The reason I am saying this is because even if an addicted gambler is lucky to win millions of dollars, he or she might end up still gambling off all that money due to the drive of addiction. In such a situation, what is even the essence of winning a huge amount of money when you cannot make good use of it? 

Addiction is when someone cannot do without something, and gambling addicts usually gamble all day long, which can equally give them a chance to win a huge amount, but the ability to stop gambling and make good use of that money is why addiction is bad because the addiction can make you win and still make you lose everything within a short time. 

So, in conclusion, addicted gamblers win a huge amount of money most of the time, but they can't use the money effectively without losing it all to gambling too.

That's not the ideology behind the fact that everyone is told to not get into addiction.. firstly, it's not even right for you to get addicted to anything in life - it immediately makes you prone to whatever effects that could cause you at the end.. when you get addicted, it becomes almost impossible to avoid/retract a certain urge, making it more difficult to find good fortune since the process is repeated over and over again.... When that happens, you might wanna have that delusion that you should atleast, recover some loses - that's exactly how you keep losing!
Addiction is clearly not a thing, that doesn't mean that addicted gamblers don't win major atimes. As long as you keep wagering in a certain frequency, you'll definitely experience winnings and losses at the same time. One of those would determine how much time you have left to keep wagering.

Every form of addition is bad; the addicted person doesn't always know they are addicted; most times, is such alone not enough to consider gambling a bad thing? 
 
Someone can't be unlucky for the rest of their life. Definitely, sometimes they will win from gambling, and most of the other times they will lose to the game, which is normal for every gambler.
 
But the only thing here is that if you become a gambling addict and don't seek help very quickly, no matter how much money you win from gambling, it will never be put to good use. The gambler will always end up losing it all back to the casino, which is what most of them do, and when they lose it all back to gambling, what is the gain of hitting the jackpot?

Yes, those who are addicted to gambling almost always lose the money they have every day, because for them there is nothing else but gambling. They prioritize gambling in their lives. However, that doesn't mean they always lose when gambling, in several gambling sessions they have also had good luck in gambling, be it small or big wins. It's just that when they get it, they respend their winnings on the next gambling session and increase the bet amount in the hope of getting a bigger win than before, but instead of getting another win, this behavior will only lose what they have earned. so that what he gets from gambling is only losses and losses.

And even worse, when someone is trapped in a cycle of irresponsible gambling and it is difficult to be reminded or awakened from this bad behavior. So what he got was not just a financial loss, but more than that. Business, work and even relationships can be destroyed just because of this bad behavior, they will lose trust, care and affection from other people and those closest to them.

Addicted gamblers have nothing to do with their life but to keep on gambling until empty. Winning and losing are natural in gambling but because of their gambling habits and addiction, even if they win, they lose them all as they continue to gamble. Nothing important for them other than gambling and every time they have money in their hands, they walk away and please themselves to the casino. That is how bad the addiction would be. Mentally stressful that ruins their life and finances.

Okay lemme brief you a bit if you don't really get things straight up, in gambling anyone can win be it addicted gambler or not whenever you have your prediction correctly then you win.
Where people talks against gambling addicts is when they don't control over themselves towards gambling this includes; selling off personal property, borrowing to satisfy their gambling addicts, spending off money meant for tuition fee or a business money for gambling all this things make people talks against it but one thing for sure if they bet and wins the ability for them to return those money where they get it is another problems because some gambling addicts doesn't care whatever amount they wins but what they care so much is to think about how they could always go for the higher winning that is why most people who are gambling addicts today doesn't give a concrete account of their money won from gambling. Since they are always on a target to winning a mind-blowing amount from the casino which mostly results to chasing loss after they might lost seriously from their previous bets.

One thing you should know about gambling addiction is that people aren't satisfied with their wins.

l have come across some gamblers who win a very huge amount of money. Instead of going home to enjoy their win, they randomly stay back, play more games, and perhaps they lose all they have.
Addiction is wanting more, trying to multiply, and this is one thing that makes their wins never count more because they are often found broke.

This is the habit of a gambler's addiction.But one who only gambles to win some money will pick that win and run out of that place. 

Gambling addiction makes a gambler become unnecessarily unsatisfied with any win he gets no matter how big it appears to be and that's why gamblers are always told to gamble responsibly or better still avoid gambling. When gambler is addicted, he's always going to lose because whenever he's winning, he'll continue to gamble till when he begins to lose everything he's initially won and whenever he's losing, he'll continue to gamble in his quest to get back his losses. Gambling addicts lose money all the time and the little time they don't lose money, they end up using the money for irrelevant things.
I know a gambling addict that doesn't gamble all the time so his level of losing money is limited but whenever he decides to enter any gambling shop to gamble, he ends up losing almost everything he had saved in those days he didn't gamble. I don't think there's ever a good day in the office for any gambling addict and that's why we all should fight gambling addiction

I've witnessed gambling addiction's devastation. Real problem that damages families and lives. Its not just about financial devastation, though thats important. The actual threat is its psychological hold on victims. The relentless pursuit of the next big victory and the conviction that luck is just around the corner can be hard to overcome. Effects extend beyond the individual. Careers, relationships, and trust collapse. A ripple impact can cause destruction.

Folks, this is it. Gambling addicts cant be ignored. We must help them rehabilitate with compassion and empathy. We must foster a culture where asking for help is a strength. Thats why I promote responsible gambling. Education, awareness, and a safe setting allow players to enjoy the game without risking their lives. It protects the weak and empowers educated decision-making.

Mostly, those who fall into gambling addiction didn’t realize that they have some gambling problems. If you ask them, they’ll only respond as if they are gambling like any responsible gamblers. But in reality, even if they make big wins and small losses, the fact that they are gambling addicts, they won’t be satisfied with their winnings and only want to gamble more hoping to win bigger amount. But knowing gambling, it won’t let you win every time you bet, but most likely you’ll end up losing at times.

Unfortunately, they’re blind with that realization, until they end up reaching that point where they have no food to eat and shelter to live. When they starve to death and become homeless, that’s when they realized that they were victims of gambling addiction.

First, you need to understand that not all people can become addicted to games. I am sure that it all starts with psychology, and the problem stretches back to childhood. A person who once played and won will certainly want to do it again. But each person perceives winning in his way. Some people simply look at winning as luck, and that’s all, but others experience the pleasure of leadership and the release of dopamine, and this is what makes a person play more and more, experiencing a sense of risk.

However, it can be repeated that addiction cannot develop in all people in the same way. For obvious reasons, some people simply do not have the necessary amount to play and are naturally not subject to the passion of gambling, while others have a reasonable head and a healthy nervous system and understand that games can only be useful as entertainment.

Everything is logical in principle, but there is one thing. The fact is that if someone has won a large amount of money in a casino or betting, then his brain will fix it, and this gambler will always remember that he was able to earn a large amount of money very easily.
This will devalue all his work in the future. Imagine how hard it will be for him to work later for a little money in an honest job. Not everyone can accept this.

Not all the time, luck does not care whether a gambler is addicted or not, luck may come to anyone anytime without prior signs.
Addicted gamblers may win some time, but since they are addicted who cant control their habit then they will lose what they won quicker than those who are not addicted.
In the end, addicted gamblers will have no money left although they had some luck on their gambling journey due to the fact that they will always spend what they have.
That's the only difference IMO, but again addicted gamblers has their own luck as well and who knows that a big luck may make them run away from addiction :)

That is very true! Not only financial aspect but emotional well-being of the gambler as well as his immediate family is directly affected by this addiction. The family should find a way how to approach the gambler in a way he won't be defensive with his habit. Most addicted gamblers don't want anyone to tell them to stop with what they are doing. If you are a family member, better find the reason why your addicted member is having such kind of life. Once you understood him, you will likely know how to find a way how to connect with him. Knowing the root cause will give you better idea on how to approach him and find solutions for his addiction.

If only regret came at the beginning of the game then no one would be addicted to gambling, that's why regret always comes at the end so that people regret and enjoy their failures, that's why many people around us definitely advise us the best and don't ignore them. because they don't want us to go too far in gambling, be gamblers who accept other people's advice, especially people who have experience in gambling, of course they have experienced the bitterness of life as a gambling addict.

Sometimes there are many people who are arrogant and don't care about the advice of people around them who think it's great that they believe they can get rich because of gambling, even though in the end it's not much different from other gambling addicts whose lives become homeless because they go bankrupt because of gambling. Gambling must be controlled properly. sometimes people like to think that it is a trivial thing, gambling addiction is a disease that is difficult to cure so don't take it lightly, everyone should avoid it when gambling because being an intelligent gambler is better than being a stupid gambler.

Yes, when someone has entered into a gambling addiction, it is likely that their relationship with their family will definitely experience problems, especially in terms of the economy, which as we know addicted gamblers tend to always over-allocate budgets and obviously this can make it difficult for them to meet the needs of survival. And yes it's true as you say that usually gamblers who are addicted they don't want anyone to interfere with their gambling activities especially if there are other people including their families who tell them to stop gambling which usually gambling addicts will assume that you are one of the people who like to interfere with other people's affairs.

This is also the reason why a person who has been addicted to gambling is very difficult to give advice or input, on the other hand, utilizing an approach to be able to easily connect with them may be a good way but I think we have to do it slowly, don't let them know that your goal is to approach them to make them stop gambling, it might work to find out the reasons why they are addicted so that we can find a solution but it is not certain that this method will work.

I am trying to answer some of your questions from my point of view. You want to know that addicted gamblers always lose bets and always lose money. In answer to this question, I would like to say that if an addicted gambler gets too greedy in gambling then he may face losses in gambling but there are many gamblers who are addicted but not too greedy in gambling rather. He controls himself and gambles. These gamblers definitely have a high chance of profit in gambling and understand the dynamics of gambling.

Whether an addicted gambler wins a gambling bet or hits the jackpot depends entirely on luck. I cannot guarantee or guarantee when a gambler will win a big gambling jackpot. However, whether a gambler or a non-addict, winning or losing a gambling bet depends largely on luck. Although I myself am such a non-professional and amateur gambler, most of the time I have lost gambling bets and I consider it a cruel irony of my luck.

I believe that even successful gamers are a little addicted to games. Only this dependence is of a different type. This addiction forces successful players to spend many hours a day at the computer, analyze matches for a long time, study the potential of players, and collect statistics. This is all very hard and boring work that needs to be done in order to win in the long term. But the problem is that no one wants to do this. Nobody even wants to analyze the success of their strategy. This is precisely the weak point in the player’s preparation. Our weaknesses tend to add up. Only a good gaming addiction can counteract this.

you know that the possibility of people losing at gambling is much higher than winning, especially to get the jackpot, it seems much more difficult. gambling every day will not increase your chances of winning and getting the jackpot, it is just a way for you to spend your money, because again someone has a very big chance of losing at gambling. even when the addict hits the jackpot on their gambling, the most they do is use the money for sprees or return to gambling again, and this is what causes them to suffer because of their addiction to gambling.

I don't think addicted gamblers only lose, it is possible sometimes they win reasonable amount of money but one thing I know for sure is that being addicted is dangerous.  Addicted gamblers take much risk in gambling, they have the mind of gambling with all their money, they have the mind of gambling with peoples money , they have the mind of taking loan to gamble,  they can just do anything for gambling and taking risk like this is dangerous. Just imaging someone selling his car to play gamble and the game ends up as lose, how do you think the person will feel? In a situation like this the person can be hurt after losing a big amount of money, this is why addiction is bad.

The consequences of addiction is very bad and dangerous,  in addiction it is possible to win big but addiction can make one to take bad financial decision that can cause one to be  broke and the fear of the lose can make one to take dangerous decisions that can lead one of taking his or her life.
Since the other side of addiction is dangerous,  it makes no sense to consider the wins that addiction brings. The lose in addiction will bring more pains.

Basically gambling, addiction, winning and losing, my understanding is that this is a different issue, where we understand that someone is addicted to gambling doesn't mean they can win and lose, many of those who are addicted can win and many of those who are not addicted can lose.

I mean, gambling cannot be separated from fate and luck, I have seen those who gamble for fun and they win big jackpots, there are also those whose daily lives are spent gambling but never win the jackpot.

Thus, what we do in gambling depends on a person's good and bad luck. If it is bad luck, of course we will suffer losses, There are also those who are unlucky when they gamble and lose every day, meaning that such people gamble is not good for them and there are also those who gamble every day and always win, for this reason gambling does not depend on addiction for someone to lose and win.

Addicted gamblers win games every well. They win even more than normal gamblers but the difference is that they money they won 80% to 90% would go back to the casino and lost while responsible gamblers would used them to do something reasonable. A friend of my that is gambling addict won 1000 US dollars and it was only 200 dollars was used to buy phone and the rest was used to play gamble and in the process he won $300 and loss the rest. That is how they are. They win but they are not using the money to do better things. Some use it to pay credit they owed.

An addicted gambler is not always supposed to lose, they can win as well like normal gamblers, but the thing is, that they can't control themselves or the urge to gamble, and even if they win, they can't stop and withdraw the funds and use it for something else but what they do is keep gambling even after winning and eventually lose what they have already won either due to greed or while trying to win more so that they can recover some of their earlier losses.

Gambling addiction is like a curse, a person with millions of dollars can lose all their money in gambling because of their addiction, and this is the reason why a gambler needs to have control over their emotions and have the ability to control the urge to gamble so that they don't lose everything they have or they have won in gambling.

Addiction is like a course because you don't even get to enjoy your lucky wins. You want to play all the time. You have delusions that you will make everything back, that today is your day, that you will become rich etc. in the end the house edge always gets to you and you lose. It's crazy what kind of thought process the gamblers have. Some will even go ad far as to say that they will quit when they hit it big. And even on the rare rare occasion that they do, they still keep playing.

That's why I keep stressing that if you can't play with moderation better not play at all.

Anyone can gamble, but not everyone is able to control their actions, therefore we quite often see people having problems with the money and time they spend gambling. Maybe everyone has promised themselves to stick to their principles, the amount of money that should be spent on gambling, as well as how many hours of time to spend on gambling, but quite a few people deny it to themselves.

I think this is a normal thing, especially for those who are addicted to gambling, it is difficult to control their emotions even when they are in a winning position, and many people even forget to withdraw their initial capital. Those who are addicted to gambling will face the same cycle every day, because they it is quite difficult to find the same pleasure in other activities.

There is a lot of gambling advice, but a lot of it is also ignored if someone is addicted to gambling. For those who have a lot of money, they are more likely to experience gambling addiction, because they can access it every day and at any time. It all comes back to each individual perception and awareness, although sometimes circumstances require someone to stop gambling, many people also borrow money so they can continue gambling.

Nothing is ever this simple, if we all had constant losses it'd be so much easier to walk away as clearly the gamble is a easy marker to avoid and improve by not betting.

The complicating and confusing factor is winning, some people if you win too early and have too much success in an easy way its actually worse for you.  A hard won bet that only comes after time and some accumulation of finesse in your actions is going to last you better for years.

If the addictions is only to be stress on the screen then and not losing constantly to the act then maybe we can class that as actually a better addiction than losing and spending time being all stress out. As a gambler there are times that you would experience losses and sometimes winning but the major thing is that you learn how to manage these period because improper management is what really causes the addiction to be well known and noticable by other people around you. If a gambler understand the act of control then he could probably manage his addiction issues be it spending excessive time on the screen or just squandering money on gambling games.

Of course, addicted players win from time to time, and I think the biggest problem among them is that they boast about it with great pride to other players and their friends. But when the moment of losing comes, then of course they will forget to tell everyone about it.

I remember the names of many public streamers who played and lost a lot of money, but there were times when they won jackpots. At such a moment, I thought that this jackpot did not bring this player as much happiness as it can show on the screen. Because before that, he could have lost even more of this jackpot in his entire life. I saw how after that they left and did not return to gambling and public space, as well as those who continued to play after winning the jackpot and lost it without a trace. Sometimes I wondered how they imagine their lives, are they really going to play for the rest of their lives after winning, to be honest, their logic is still not completely clear to me.

That’s the problem with addicted gamblers, they never enjoy their money, even if they win. An addicted gambler will end up spending all the money won back on gambling, and they might end up losing it back. No matter the amount addicted gamblers are winning from gambling, you won’t know they have won because they hardly do things for themselves, they are always hoping to increase the money, and they will keep on gambling till everything is gone and they will have to start afresh.
 
If you calculate the amount lost by addicted gamblers and the amount they have won, then you will see it doesn’t really make sense. The best thing is to stay away from gambling addiction, because you might find it very difficult to stop.

The connection with losing money with addiction is not so close. Addiction to the definition of wanting something that must be achieved and when facing a bad situation, it will not be accepted so that emotions and physical no longer unite.
Addicted to gambling, addicts do not accept defeat so that the feeling of wanting to continue to win will be done. Well, that's when the addict lost a lot of money.

Only two gambling. Win and lose.
Why many here direct people so as not to become addicts because it is bad.
Very good if there are gamblers who set the money limit for gambling so that the gambling played can be controlled.
When gambling continues to be in a losing position, the mind must arise that we need a break and come back tomorrow. Means the level of luck is bad.

I am not a medical doctor, but an addiction is I think per se a pathological description for an unhealthy state of mind (and body maybe). You could argue that someone who spends 50% of his life on gambling is addicted, but one guy might do it differently than another. In my opinion any sort of excessive behavior takes away time from other areas of life, but how would anyone argue when an addicted guy makes a few million in gambling in a couple of years? Then it was the addiction that ultimately made the person rich and allowed that person to live a life in freedom.

So the question would be whether the outcome of an addiction could ever be deemed positive? An addiction does not describe a losing behavior in gambling, but rather the total time spent and whether someone can say stop, but why would the person say stop if that person found a way to make money constantly? Is it an addiction? Is it smart to keep going?

But on a more general note I think that if someone spends the majority of time on gambling, chances are very little that the person has the focus and the mechanics under control to reliably stay in the net positive. It more likely points out a weakness that maybe a hint for further weaknesses.

It would be interesting to see though what a doctor would say if someone explains that he is making millions while spending 12 hours a day on gambling for the last 12 months.

I do agree that a lot of the gamblers just end up gambling the way they want to gamble and that won't be such an easy situation at all. We should consider how to make it work and that means we are going to see it grow.

A lot of gamblers will focus on how to make it work, which won't be all that easy, and the reality is that we are going to end up with something much more profitable. Of course it is not easy to be a gambler and keep making money, but if you know what you are doing then you are not going to lose much, and there are days when the luck is on your side and you make that money easily. This isn't all that complicated, gambling is pure luck, and while most people lose, sometimes we get quite lucky and make some money.

But it has cure, just that some gamblers don't know how to stop addicted to gambling and they think putting more money is what will help them to recover all the money they have use than to see them losing more.  

You want to use your borrow money to win big money to pay back, is what is making some gamblers to be addicted to gambling and even though they win from the gambling center, they will still continue gamble until they lose all the money before they will realize that they made mistakes.

And they will said once they win big money, they will stop gambling , and they will win big money and they will continue gambling,which I have such gamblers around my environment who later got addicted to gambling, and they have sold many of their prosperities but they couldn't recover their money back.

This is as simple as it is but many don't see that they're going to listen to anybody even if they know that the reminder is right and gonna be helpful to them control themselves.

First and a few tries are fine and if you can't keep going on with that because you have been incurring only losses, better stop.

But if you can still moderate that and all you wanna do is to continue whichever the results will be, you're good. However, results can also trigger our emotions for real.

Let's look at gambling with this analogy. Let's take yogurt taking as regular thing you do as gambling, you love it and you can't do a day without taking it. Someone with high blood sugar will likely suffer it if they continue to drink sweetened Yoghurt, that's like got addicted to gambling and then suffer a more catastrophic health condition, the more you continue to take it, the more you endanger yourself which is how gambling is and you may be drinking it and nothing might not be happening at all, that's to say that you love taking it but because you have low sugar, you are not feeling the side effect and that describe people that addicted to gambling but don't have losses.

See gambling as the analogy I just explained above, you don't necessarily need to loss to be addicted to gambling, it's when it becomes something you can't do without you called addiction, you can be in church for prayers and sermon and your attention will be on gambling, that's show your level of gambling bit it doesn't really mean you are suffering from it financially but you might be suffering from it mentally that's why you need some breaks from gambling.

I consider gambling addiction bad, because no matter how they win the jackpot does it make them quit the addiction? Of course not, precisely from the victory will continue to play until it loses everything, that gambling without self-control is meaningless, I mean that the end is losing losing too.

Addiction is not not winning, but the ratio of wins and losses is greater to lose, meaning those who are addicted will lose more, right?

Still gambling must have limits otherwise it will make you worse, don't let your time be spent gambling while you don't make money elsewhere then for me it's bad behavior.

The problem with gambling addiction is not that it exposes the person to successive losses, but rather because the pattern of gambling practice as a behavioral habit becomes dangerous over and over again. This means that if anyone practices the same habit (assuming it is not a harmful habit) at the same accumulated frequency, he will fall into what psychology calls “behavioral addiction.”

Behavioral addiction is one of the most dangerous types of addiction, even if it does not expose its owner to material losses. The harms of addiction are not limited only to financial losses, but go beyond it to become a psychological habit that harms the behavior and psychological character of the person and affects all aspects of his life.

Gambling addiction makes most people to condemn gamblers because of the kind of things most addicted gamblers are doing lately. Addictions makes people to feel bad about the behaviors of gamblers, mostly no body would like to be a friend to addicted gambler because it might influence them in future if they are not careful. It's never advised to gamble with ones money but no doubt that addicted gamblers will always gamble with someone's money and they will still go an extra miles to borrow and gamble.

Any forms of addiction is really that bad on which there's no way that you could really be able to make yourself that be good when it comes on handling yourself on making good decisions. Whereas, the primary thing the comes up into your mind is on how you should be able to achieve something. Forms of addiction is something that pushes you on doing things on which you do know that it cant really be able to make
good outcome or results into you. We do know that anything cant really be that done well because on the word addiction then you would really be focusing into something which it comes up into your mind
specially on gambling. Having moderation when it comes to spending and on how you would be doing it will really be excessive on which it would be resulting into devastation.

The correct answer is yes. Most of the time, it's not just gambling addicts who often lose in the field of casino gambling. Even though I often lose every time I play and rarely win, And if I win, it's only a small amount, and in the end, I still lose. 

There is no chance that when I play gambling, I don't win. There are also times when I win, but it's only a really small amount that we can say is not enough to recover the amount of the loss. It's like the house edge is just tempting us to stay on their platform; it seems like that's all.

Addicted gamblers lose more than a normal gambler because they don't think beyond gambling. Always, their minds will be thinking about gambling. This can be mostly due to the losses they've experienced in the past. The urge to recover what they've lost keeps them from continuing to gamble. Here, very few turn out successful, whereas the majority ends up losing more and more.

When a person have some plans for making money or recovering lost money, they're kind of pressurized. This won't make them gamble as freely as a gambler who considers it fun.

Addiction is very difficult to get rid of, but I have a friend who is very addicted to gambling. He always spends the money he earns from his hard work on gambling. When I meet him I always often ask how his gambling results are winning or losing. When he answers lose then I just always say how much the total amount of money was spent on gambling. By doing this, I hope that he will reconsider the amount of money he has spent on gambling and until now he has not had any results to enjoy. Finally I saw that he was no longer so active in gambling and was more productive.

Indeed, each person has a different case, therefore we must remain by their side to provide support for the better.

I really agree with you, yes they lose a real lot, even those who gamble responsibly lose a lot most times talk less of those involved in irresponsible gambling. They win sometimes, but its very possible the loss is more because even though they win, being addicts they still lose their wins back to the casino making the casino their major beneficiary.

The casino is designed to make more money for itself than for the mere gambler, you're surer about losing than winning, so no matter the strategies you employ as  a gambler, it only serves for a while and the more often you play to seemingly exploit the casino, the more addiction you're building up within yourself and the rainy days would affect you so well because by then, you're  already addicted and would try everything within your power to go back into winning ways.

This is when the casino would calmly extract back all your winnings and keep you seriously at loss before you even recognize what's happening.

For someone who is addicted to gambling, there are 2 reasons why they are like that. There are those who always experience losses so they try to chase their losses by gambling continuously and this causes them to become uncontrollable and ultimately unable to cover the losses they get even though they occasionally win and the second reason is that gamblers experience winning and trying to continue the game hoping to win more but in the end they end up addicted to gambling and the winnings they get are lost because they are too greedy and it becomes a bad habit for them when they gamble too much after their ambition to win.

Gambling addiction does have bad effects and most people who are addicted experience more losses than wins because they gamble too often so the winnings they get are not much compared to the losses so it is true that gambling only experiences losses and losses apart from financial losses it also harms time you spend too long gambling, therefore many people say that gambling addiction is bad and are advised to be responsible when gambling.

I think you have summed it up perfectly. They win, the problem is that they keep betting either for the first reason you mention or for the second one, until they lose everything.

That's what gambling all about. About taking a risk but unlike other risky activities, gambling can be said to as unfair. Therefore it is important to only use money that we can afford to lose. Not only that it makes us lose less if in case we are unlucky, it can also prevent us from getting addicted in gambling easily.

They can win but the thing is that they still lose it, so I guess that doesn't differ too much to those who are plain losers. Both have regrets but the other has more of it. Facing an addiction can also mean that we will just continue with the flow and this makes us to not feel bad anymore. If there is tired of losing, I think there is also tired of winning. They think they have enough money, so they will rest for a while and spend it first.

No, it doesn't mean they lose all the time. But it's not the point, because regardless of they win or lose, an addicted gambler will still continue what they used to since it's already hard to stop. So it's not about winning or losing, because they're just like a normal gambler. The difference is, they're already out of control so they lose more for not having contentment and can play long hours to feed their addiction.

I think you meant to say excessive losses. And of course excessive losses is the most consequences for gambling addiction. Because what is the purpose of gambling? If for fun then there is no problem but when it is to make money or double the money we have then it becomes a big problem. There is only one way to be successful at gambling and which is to control the level of risk we take. Which we all know that it is difficult to have risk management since one is addicted.

To cut it short if a gambler can eradicate gambling addiction then he will be successful in gambling, there are no two ways to go about it.

That's how they end up since they will not became an addicted gambler if they can control theirselves. Also if they came into that situation then for sure that they do a lot of excessive things and that includes losing a lot of money since they can't control theirselves and doesn't have any risk management towards their money spent on their gambling session.

So for those cases its really important to know our limitation and always have proper  assessment on the situation since if they create some sort of proper planning then stick with it, then for sure they will not came into this bad situation and can able to continue their activities without experiencing difficulties on their actions since they are fine and in total control on their gambling activities. Addiction is avoidable and people who want to gamble just need to have proper reality checking on everything they see so that they can avoid getting into this situation.

It's impossible to only lose money all the time. It's just mathematically impossible. I remember one dice challenge, where, according to the conditions, you should have lost your bet six times in a row with a 66% win chance. I completed the challenge, but it wasn't an easy task, I must say. I had to endure so many unwanted wins along the way!

So, no, no one is bound to losses upon losses. Sometimes you win.

The sad reality is that winning is not important for them but instead, to keep their addiction as long as they can still perform.
Yes, they win today and even tomorrow but suffer losses in the following days. But it was not a big deal for them because what makes them more happy is to stay gambling.

Of course, I won't say all gamblers have that kind of mindset and gambling habits. There are just some and we know the ending story if we become a irresponsible gambler, winning won't and never give us satisfaction.

Absolutely the right opinion. Psychologists say that avid problem gamblers don't worry about winning, they only want to get emotions. Namely, the emotions of anticipation that now all business will be put on pause, and the casino, or slots, or any other gambling games will be launched. It is anticipation that ludoman is chasing.
Money is so devalued for him that they are a way to play on. And this is a terrible endless cycle that can only be stopped by treatment and acceptance that the gambler is addicted.

That's true, with those who are addicted of course they won't think about anything else, it's unlikely they'll be able to stop themselves from gambling. because I once heard from someone who was seriously addicted to gambling. he always wanted to continue gambling even though his financial situation was a mess, he even said he couldn't stop himself from gambling, even for just one day he couldn't stop it. It's true what you say, maybe it's because of the urge to get back what they've lost that they continue gambling even though it ends in losses and defeats. Of course, losing more money is something that is bound to happen and is experienced by those who are addicted to gambling.

with gamblers whose goal is to make money of course they will not be able to stay calm when gambling, the losses that will occur will make them experience pressure and if they continue to gamble with losses that will occur more often it can make them experience pressure which is excessive and can make them stressed, in contrast to those who gamble for fun, it is likely that they will not gamble continuously, especially when they have lost, because I think those who gamble for fun can still control himself even though the chance of addiction still exists.

I agree with you that this is society's view of a gambling addict. His look is a mixture of contempt and pity.
Unfortunately, society's outlook is always harsh because it is based on rigid concepts linked to inherited morals and morals that were established over centuries.
But what I meant in my previous answer is that all types of addiction are pathological conditions, and unfortunately society rejects them according to its moral standards, and in some societies these patients are excluded according to legal texts or religious legislation. An addict is a person in a state of illness and must be dealt with on this basis, especially since in cases of psychiatry, the patient does not accept the idea that he is sick, and even if he accepts this, it is never easy for him to deal with treatments.

However, from my observations I think only losing can not make a gambler to because addicted, they win and they also lose, and that's how gamble works. Let's say I am addicted to gamble, and I am losing everytime I bet from the starting of the this year and I haven't win anything from my bet, I won't wait for someone to tell me to quite because I am not winning, I will sadly quite gamble because I haven't win anything and that's because I am not gambling for fun im anyway. Am just saying that what makes people to become addicted is when they are winning and losing at the same time. A gambler that's not losing will take gamble go be an investment but ones the loosing starts I doubt that that person will still take gamble go be an investment or a side hustle. Addicted gamblers don't only lose, they win and they lose and that's what makes them to be addicted.

Addicted gamblers win, the concept of addiction isn't about them losing all the time but the lack of control and ability to resist gambling urges most at times ia the problem. We must understand psychological Dopamine rush while gambling is high in essence the brain seeks such every time which is the primary problem. I'm gambling there is always a win and loss, such that the odds of winning is less compared to losses and gambling is not programmed either for gamblers to win.

Actually in as much as becoming a gambling addict is bad doesn't mean that they don't win a bet at all, on the contrary they always win there bet most times but one of things that distinguishes them from normal gamblers is there mindset and the inability to control there emotions when it comes to gambling, so actually you are right on the question because the way they talk about gambling addict if you have not actually seen someone who is an addict you would hardly believe that they win there bet sometimes.

One of the reasons they always emphasize on gambling addict here is because is something nobody would ever wished for himself because gambling addict always sees  gambling as an easy way for them to become rich that's why whenever they bet they make sure they stake with almost everything they have so that when they win it will be huge but in most cases they always end up losing everything and they don't no when to stop.

Yes but one of the reasons why an addicted gambler always loses control is because the initial symptom is that they are always unable to accept the fact of losing, and also when they win they are also always difficult to stop the game and this happens because they cannot ignore the greed that is in them so it is only natural that addicted gamblers are always faced with downturns such as experiencing a significant number of losses, and I would say that it is natural for them to experience because after all it is all due to their wrong treatment of gambling activities where they prioritize activities that should be made as nothing more than a place of entertainment.

And yes an addicted gambler always wants great results or significant wins continuously which can really trigger a burst of exciting dopamine but the problem is that they forget that gambling is not only about the chances of winning but the possibility of losing will always be a part that can never be separated, and it is a fact that after all gambling is about winning and losing, there is no way that can increase the chances except luck, and this is why we are always advised to be careful and also limit expectations on winning.

Most people only gamble as a hobby so winning or losing isn’t vital to them surviving, it’s just for fun.

People who have a problem with excessive gambling probably lose more than they win but on the flip side, tgere are professional gamblers who win more than they lose.

I will tell you one thing though, you never see a broke bookie.

Addicted gamblers do win from time to time, however their wins cannot offset the losses they suffer, so even if they won a huge jackpot that put them ahead by a significant margin, in order for them to keep this money they will need to stop gambling, and it is obvious that an addicted person will have huge problems doing this, so eventually they will lose all of that money and they could develop and even stronger addiction, since now they want to recover all of that money they lost and they are willing to use a lot of money to do so.

I think it is very important to clarify that for people addicted to gambling, their objective is not to win a lot of money and then stop gambling, they simply cannot stop gambling, so if, for example, tomorrow a person becomes addicted to gambling of chance managed to win a lot of money, something like 5 million US dollars, this person addicted to gambling would spend the entire 5 million US dollars on gambling until he would lose everything, then he would sell everything he had, borrow money and also steal money from other people

This is because, as I said, they cannot stop playing, they have lost control of themselves, and that is why addiction is considered a very terrible disease. because it is a psychological illness it becomes something much more dangerous, look at all the psychological illnesses, how many of them can be easily cured, none. All psychological illnesses are difficult to cure, and addiction is something very destructive

Curiosity, addiction as well as satisfaction and pleasure in winning, this is what is actually on the minds of gambling addicts so that they will continue to make bet after bet even though they have succeeded in getting big wins or consecutive losses.
Apart from that, there are other attitudes such as greed and efforts to recover losses, if all of this becomes one with the problem of gambling addiction, it is not only money that will be lost but also the direction to live normally, mental health and also affect the level of quality of human thinking power.
There are many bad impacts of gambling addiction which are even more dangerous than alcohol addiction.
I think gambling addict will be the same as drug addict where they will live their lives just to be able to satisfy their desires for this activity.

Percentage of recovery for really serious gambling addiction will be very difficult to cure because the addicts have had far more problems, but it is still possible to reduce the intensity of gambling activities.
Everything will return to the consciousness of an addict and of course only themselves will be able to control and cure it because several other methods are only small intermediaries that will help in the healing process.

An addicted gambler is bound to lose money one day. There are two types of gamblers. Those who gamble for fun and those who gamble because they are addicted. Recreational gamblers do not get upset when they lose money and do not get greedy for the money they lose. Addicted gamblers, on the other hand, gamble non stop with the ambition to win money. If they lose money, they will gamble more and more. This causes addicted gamblers to lose money all the time.

We should only gamble for fun and never gamble for a living. People think that they will always win money when they gamble, but they are wrong. A gambler who is constantly winning money is very prone to addiction and will one day leave all his money on the table. That is why addicted gamblers always lose money.

Addicted gamblers cannot decide better for themselves it is the desire to gamble and to keep winning and they will never stop gambling , this is why addicted gamblers keeps losing .
those who are winning against gambling site are those who knows how to control their gaming and also knows when to stop and stand from the table.

It is not true that addicted gamblers cannot win at gambling. But most of the time it is shown that addicted gamblers win, they end up not being able to hold their winnings. There are many gamblers who have won big despite becoming addicted but it is clear to see how many addicted gamblers have been able to keep their winnings. I win a lot in gambling but if I can't keep my winnings then my results are zero. People who gamble have a latent desire to win big and use the money from that winning. But when addicted, a gambler is deprived of the joy of gambling. Whether he wins or loses, there is no change in their gambling. There is a wide difference between a non-addicted gambler and an addicted gambler attitude.

You are completely wrong and as such, I disagree with you, winning or losing in gambling has nothing to do with whether the gambler is addicted or not, luck does not know who is addicted to gambling and who is not, both addicted and non addicted win accordingly and based on who encounters good luck and when.

But the disadvantages the addicted gambler have over the non addicted is that, even after winning this money, there is a high chance that he or she will still gamble away all the money won, while the non addicted gambler will look for something good and worthwhile to do with the money, or better still; invest it.

So, in the nutshell, addicted gamblers do win, according to how lucky they are, but using the money for something good is always the problem for them, they often will win, and then use it all to gamble again, and at the end of the day, lose it all back to the casino, then start afresh again.

Yes, usually this will be done repeatedly, even gambling addicts don't learn from their own experience as long as they still have money, but sometimes gambling addicts will realize after losing all their money and even their assets, let alone their family, of course they will realize after they don't have anything in their life. Most gamblers always have the classic excuse that they gamble for money or let's say they gamble to recover their losses, but actually when they win they still continue gambling in the hope of winning even bigger.

If greed cannot be controlled, it will never be good for our lives, that's why before gambling, make sure we can control ourselves from greedy behavior so that we don't become addicted to gambling, gambling addiction is a disease that is difficult to cure, so don't just get addicted to gambling. because we want to win big, greedy behavior will not make us successful at gambling, in fact it will make us losers. In the end, gambling addicts will always lose their money all the time without ever feeling enough and grateful for their winnings. believe me because I often see it around me like that.  ;D

If those gamblers becomes addicted, that will gives benefits to the casino because those gamblers can lose much money as we know that if someone becomes addicted, he will playing gambling more often than the others. That will cause him use more money than the others and will makes him lose much money.
But if those gamblers can control himself in gambling, he will not lose much money because he will always limits his money that he used to gamble. He will understand that he must stay away from the addiction that can gives him many problems.
Those gamblers can bankrupt but the casino will gets his money and those gamblers will regrets it. We must prevents gambling using much money or too often so we don't have to lose much money and that is the key to stay away from the addiction.

people who are addicted to me need help and one of the reasons they make a reckless decision when they gamble is because they keep losing and they are looking for ways to recover all that they have lost and that is why they keep gambling with the right wrong choices, and they are used to making does choices and that is why they keep losing money. if not their people who gamble every day and nothing is wrong in fact they have more wins than losses. it because they apply common sense. they are too greedy it is impossible to be able to make back all their losses they feel they are been cheated by casinos and they forget that nothing was forced but they are just looking for someone to blame for their own mistake. because people gamble every day and they win. and they have a good method of selection so they don't encounter any issue of even going to borrow money.



People like that is better they stop gambling than always want to try out their luck and always fail to find out that they are wasting their money and their time because as easy as gambling looks it is very technical, it is better to understand it than just going directly into it without proper understanding of it and they will continue to gamble and not win anything that is the kind of result such people get it is time to start advising them to go get a job instead of wasting their time and energy, when they get tired and they don't longer have money to continue they will stop, and if they don't stop they will keep putting their financial life at risk.

You know that addicts are not the only ones who lose often when playing gambling; almost all of us gamblers experience frequent losses, and very few get the jackpot when playing gambling. Until now, that has been happening.

So what you're asking is that gamblers who experience that in general are not just specifically addicted gamblers. Even when they achieve success, they frequently face defeat. That's why other gamblers win and lose because greed exists.

Being addicted means alot,it means loosing on something or winning as well but literally being entitled to a particular thing that pushes you to take some certain decisions and steps just to keep it going.
Being addicted means you're into doing that same thing whether it brings you negative or positive outcomes.so for gamblers to be addicted it means they don't give up the fact that they want to make huge amounts of money with or without the losses generated and they can go extra miles to make sure they keep to track.so loosing money varies.

That's right, losing money from gambling activities doesn't only apply to addicts, perhaps other gamblers such as experienced gamblers and professional gamblers will also feel it.
We as gamblers in the eyes of the host are the same, that is, we will often lose and losing money will definitely happen.
Indeed, for people who are addicted to gambling, they have a very addictive attitude so that they can make every effort to carry out this activity continuously without thinking about the risk of losing money that is waiting in front of their eyes. However, for ordinary gamblers, they will also experience losing money, but it is not the same as addicted people, ordinary gamblers only gamble if they need to and bet a lot of money, they are not brave enough to take high risks.

Does addicted gamblers only lose money all the time ? The answer probably yes, why it is simply because he is addicted, whether you win or lose when you get addicted all the matter is playing more.

In reality people who addicted usually when he chasing a losses or he can't control the emotion or loss so big after win big. All of them can lead to lose more money or even worse. In my opinion

It is a fact that I think addicted gamblers can never be satisfied with any results they get such as winnings of any amount, addiction is a situation where a gambler is already in a phase of dependence on the activity so because of this why it is difficult for them to quit gambling, and obviously when someone has entered the phase of dependence on gambling then there will be a lot of money that they risk over time while they are still in that phase, and maybe because of this why it is said that addicted gamblers are those who will continue to lose over time.

Regardless of the outcome at the end of the session, it is a fact that the money will eventually be used to fund their gambling habit for the next time, meaning that no matter how much you win if you are already in the addiction phase then over time the amount of winnings will definitely be used to fund your gambling habit, and I would say that the real victory in gambling is when you are able to cash out everything to enjoy and then quit gambling activities completely.

I am not addicted, the reason why I said I was wondering why is because, people talk more about the ill effects of gambling addiction without acknowledging that gamblers who are addicted are also wining even while they remain addicted. Let's talks about different things too, as an addicted gambling, how often do you lose and how often do you win? ? No body have asked such question or does it not matter?

Addicted gamblers will do anything to enjoy gambling because they don't care about their money at that time. and started spending huge amounts of money on gambling. at one point he does not even hesitate to sell his house. so gambling addiction is a very bad thing, the person who gets involved in it keeps losing. There are very few cases where an addicted gambler can return from gambling with profit.

The truth is that addicted gamblers do actually win a lot then maybe after lose it all back and that's when the main effect that's class them as addicted gamblers kicks in which is the time they start losing control and vigorously start chasing after their loses which for sometimes can consume all their bankroll without them even actually knowing this till the whole harm is done and the feeling of regrets kicks in

Gambling addiction absolutely does not only have to with winning or lossing, any one can loss any one can win too, but however, there are attributes that are mainly associated with a gambling addict which are as follows

1. They can borrow money to gamble

2. They spend much time gambling

3. They can gamble with the amount they can't afford to lose

4. They are much emotional when they loss

5. They continue gambling even when they are lossing

6. They can go extral mind looking for money to gamble with

7. They can sell their property just to gamble

It seems to me that gambling addiction can have several stages like other addictions. For example, the easiest stage of gambling addiction is when a person becomes interested in gambling and it becomes a kind of hobby for him. He may not gamble for weeks or months, but sometimes allows himself to make a bet or play poker. In the more severe stage, the person gambles every week or two and they dominate over other recreational activities. In this stage, the gambler may limit themselves both financially and in their desires. The hardest stage is when a person cannot imagine his life without gambling. Nothing is more important to him than to find money and keep gambling. He does not care whether he wins or loses, he just wants the gambling process to continue. In my opinion, this stage can be referred to the dopamine trap from which only specialists can help to get out.  

Honestly speaking those who are addicted to gambling also hit the jackpot, but the issue is that they don't actually know when to stop, which is pretty bad because most time they are not satisfied with their win , or they are always trying to get back their losses by gambling regularly.

So just imagine gambling, without having a break or calling it a day , or someone who can't get gambling out of his mind. Such individual will definitely go through alot because the chances of he or she making losses maybe higher than making Profits. Which may lead to all such of negative effects.

The listed attributes are correct for addicted gamblers which is usually what is mostly and only talked about but do we fail to realize that those addicted gamblers are also winning their bets mostly all the time and still spend the winning at the casino without using the money for something good, why didn't you include that in your attributes? Should I guess it's because you don't even realize that those addicted gambler keeps winning. Those guys are winning too and sometimes the money won can be huge and they need help to be able to make good use if that money and not just waste it on gambling too.

Yep, any gambler has a chance to win the jackpot, including the addicts. Sure, addicts won't stop even if they win a big jackpot because playing gambling already becomes an important part of his daily life. Normal gamblers may stop for a while to enjoy the win, but the addicts probably continue to win a higher prize. Even, the addicts may try to use more money when they can win the game. They may assume using more money will make bigger chances for the next wins.

Is it really possible to gamble a whole day without a rest/break?
Honestly, it is too much. Even it is possible, I can't imagine how much money to use for gambling a whole day.
We must know how to be a disciplined gambler, we know when to gamble and when to stop it. Personally, I have a certain time to gamble, I never do it all day because I have a lot of business even though it's on the weekend. I stick with my gambling schedule, it is the key to be a disciplined gambler for me.

Gamblers lose money all the time.

Your experience in gambling; when you started gambling or being an addicted gambler makes no difference in that situation, as you will most likely lose money all the time as a gambler.

The bigger question is that, the few times you win, does it surpass your losses ?

Are you in any way saying that lucky is the major player who decides if a gambler will win or not? I believe luck has a role to play, but that's not in every game and not all the time.
 
There are times where one might feel too lucky and play any and any game due to how distracted they might be as a result of either losing too much or being eager to win big.
 
In such cases, do you still think luck can allow the person to win, or will the result of the game be otherwise? In sports betting, I really think prediction skill is one of the tools that determines the gambler's winning strength.

It doesn't matter IMHO.

Losing and winning are there when we gamble but to answer that, we mostly lose at most times.

So let's say that I had a good day this day, tomorrow and for the next day I think that losses are going to come more often to me before I win again.

Or it's vice versa, you really can't tell at all unless you are the one who experienced it.

one thing about gambling is that when you don't have a statistics or method you derived to participate in gambling neither monthly or weekly you will be derailed or be addicted to the extent that it will not be controllable, so from my observation and understanding for gambling and people who always be addicted is that they always be curious of gambling and they are more of inquisitive to make profit in gambling that's one of the factors that pushes gamblers to be addicted in gambling, I know very well that gambling is something you need to understand the procedures before,, because if you don't understand gambling you will be left without any achievement when you're addicted

His situation will becomes worst when he is addicted to gambling because he never see what is really happens to him and he only wants to playing gambling without stops. He never calculate how much money he already lose or how much money he will use to continue playing gambling.
He can not control his gambling activity because in his mind is only wants to playing gambling. If he doesn't have people who cares to him, he will addicted to gambling without see the reality and will not have a chance to cure himself.
We can not imagine what will happens to people like that which addicted to gambling because he will lose everything he had, including lose his family. One thing that he must realizes that he needs to open his minds so he can see what happens to him.

Gambling can be like drugs, because it stimulates the same hormone release as with the use of drugs. The gamblers brain release "Dopamine" when they hit something big and your body gets that "feel good" chemical that it urge for.

So, some people gets addicted to that rush and they start to gamble more recklessly to get that rush of chemicals. The gambler then lose more money, because they are hunting for that "big" win... thus losing more often.

Yes, they will always lose money even if there are instances that they win something big, at the end of the day, it will all go back to gambling and they will just lose that money to it. I mean the logic is that they're called an addict for a reason, big wins basically to this people are just a way to further abuse their gambling habit, so technically they don't lose all the time but as they are already an addict, the money would still be losing and that they're not getting anything at the end.

Addiction is so far from Winning. Addiction is one thing and Winning is another thing. Miracily some new gambler won the board but it's not a way to win. For luck, he won the match. It's natural they will win jackpots, or not. It depends on his fate.

Why isn't addiction a terrible thing? Surely addiction is so terrible thing that destroys many gamblers' lives with their family life. I saw many gamblers hanging their own life till to death for a long time suffering from debt.

So, I can say to gamblers. Please keep yourself far from gambling.

Agree, especially if a person didn't handle well the money they've won, it will easily go back to gambling that's why it's highly advisable that once you win in gambling, take some rest, treat yourself  and use the money in the most worth it way like buying importante stuffs, put it in your savings or investment because many people believe that the money comes from gambling activity is easy to run out and lose it because you got it in the easiest way.

Why do you look on addiction on from negative point of view. What about those who win millions and rings in World Series of Poker? These people are addicted to gambling. They are rich. They gamble for living and in total they are in profit from gambling addiction. Gambling addicted person isnt necessary a person who looses. A person who own a casino is a businessman and gambling addicted person also.

Addicted person in gambling will playing gambling too often than other people and they will use more money too. They will not realizes about how much their money that they use to playing gambling because their focus is only playing gambling. Although they can wins, they will use that money plus the wins money to keeps playing gambling and will not thinks to stops the games even if they can wins more money. Those who addicted to gambling will abuse their gambling habit because gambling is their priority and they will still playing gambling every day. That can makes addicted people in gambling lose their money more than other people because they don't thinks about how they will stops their gambling activity and enjoy the wins money. They needs to realizes about their addiction and trying to asks for helps to cure the addiction in gambling.

Any person who once comes to a casino is faced with losses. And, of course, losing means losing money. However, people who are addicted to games tend to gamble more often, which suggests that their chances of losing more money are higher.
Another question is: Is it really necessary for an addicted person to always win? After all, everyone understands perfectly well that this is impossible. But those who need games will play regardless of the results, whether they win or not. The process of the game itself is more important for him; even if the player wins, he continues until he loses all the winning money.

There are many stories of such cases. A man wins hundreds of thousands dollars in poker and loses it all the same day to slots or roulette. The thing is with addicted gamblers is that they won't stop until they lose everything. If they have money - they gamble, like they don't understand what else can you do with it.

So, the answer to the question in the OP: No, addicted gamblers don't only lose money all the time, but being chronic losers as they are, they lose all their winning all the time. That's true.

Yes, the topic of gambling addiction is very widely discussed in this thread, but no one claims that all players, without exception, are addicted to gambling. The fact is that only a small number of gamblers experience addiction problems, but each addiction is a "high-profile case". Gamblers without addiction are not visible, unlike addicts, so there may be a false feeling that almost all players are heavily addicted. But in fact, there are quite a lot of players who win and are quite happy in gambling.

They also earn money from their gambling, but because they are addicted to gambling, in the end they just gamble all their money every day without stopping, that is a problem, because casinos have a house edge which makes the gambler's chance of winning slimmer and that will cause a greater percentage of gamblers to lose. Because gambling is not just about gambling every day, but also gamblers need to consider taking a break from their gambling activities - because wise gamblers are those who can manage their finances well and not gamble excessively and they understand when to stop.

To me this is where to know how responsible someone could be because to me I don't see any reason while someone could play untill he loses all their winning. Already as you said, it's good to play and win but after winning at least the person should have distanced the casino if that person wants to maintain a healthy gambling safety or being responsible gambler. Gambling is something that is opening and freely accessible by everyone but the ability for one to consciously have that rethink of knowing when to stop and how to play makes them a responsible person in gambling.

Don’t get the word addiction twisted.
In most cases addicted gamblers are the losers in gambling and mostly the ones who chase after their loses and making it seem their lives depend on a particular win.
From my personal observations, I’ve come to realize that, when a gambler makes consistent losses without taking any redress, then his tend to be addressed as an addicted gambler but when the reverse is the case and there are winnings, I mean remarkable winnings, irrespective of how frequent and often such a gambler gambles, he or she might be addressed as a professional gambler.

Now answering your questions directly, an addicted gambler is one who gambles frequently without making any obvious wins and tends to chase after their losses.

Yes, you are totally correct and no matter how much they loss or win doesn't make them not to be an addict, and even those who are not even an addict still lose money, gambling is a game of luck and chance, it doesn't matter if you are addict or not.

So as far as gambling is concern, you can either lose or win, no matter how you gamble and it's not everytime someone win or lose in gambling, that is why its called gambling, sometimes you win and sometimes you loss but no matter how we gamble, it's very essential to gamble with what we can afford as you said and it won't affect us too.

They can earn money from gambling but if they can thinks that will be difficult, they will thinks twice to do that because they will not wants to risks much money in gambling. That will be what a wise gamblers do because they have a bad experience losing their money when playing gambling and they don't wants to get the same experiences. They don't wants to becomes addicted gambling because they can lose money all of the time and they will still difficult to wins on gambling games. They prefer to use their time to playing gambling moderately and enjoy the games instead to use more money which will not gives the wins easily. Playing gambling needs to takes a break to manages their emotions not to becomes higher and makes them lose control. They knows that they must prevents the big lose from gambling and avoids the biggest problem that every gamblers can gets which will becomes addicted to gambling.

Addicted gamblers don't always lose money. They often experience intermittent wins which reinforce their behavior. Addicted gamblers have more wins than losses. This is why they get addicted to gambling and try to chase after winnings. But everyone's fate is not always the same. Sometimes due to excessive stupidity and greed, addicted gamblers return home empty-handed. So true addicted gamblers know when to take a break from gambling activities.

Gamblers who are addicted actually have a problem with themselves when they chase and try to recover their losses and then win, in fact they don't stop gambling, instead they want to keep winning even bigger and end up going home empty-handed, just as you said, that greed. Making people addicted to gambling is actually not because they don't win or lose, but because they can't control themselves from gambling addiction and can't play more responsibly. The point is that every gambler must be aware of this and reduce their addiction slowly.

There are no gamblers who get rich because of gambling and there are no gambling sites that go bankrupt because many gamblers win, these words might be able to represent and slap gambling addicts that they don't need to be too serious about gambling, let alone winning, any kind of gambling will not be suitable as a source of income, if we want to earn money, don't make gambling a source of income, but working or doing business is more profitable, gambling should only be used as entertainment, that's definitely suitable, the point is, be a gambler who knows when to gamble and knows when to stop gambling, don't to gambling addiction.

In the first two sentences of your post, you stated two observations of yours that I totally agree with but when you said that addicted gamblers have more win than losses, I became a little bit confused. Addicted gamblers like you said do win intermittently which does increase their belief of winning huge at the end of their gambling engagements but majority of the time they gamble, they do end up losing their money. Addicted gamblers are naturally greedy and aren't never satisfied with whatever win they get and that's why you see them winning a huge sum of money and still lose everything they had initially won at in less than an hour. They'll not even stop at the money they've lost already but will continue to gamble till they finish every single money on them. Addicted gamblers does not only lose their money but they lose more money than they win.

Not really that gambling addicts don't win, they do win but still find themselves losing all they've won because addiction makes people not to be conscious about their spending so in most cases when an addicted gambler win certain amount of money instead of going home and use the money won for important things rather than gamble they will still end up losing all either after winning or they can still decide to continue betting and at the end every thing is gone again. When we lay so much emphasis on the negative and bad aspects of gambling addiction it doesn't mean that they are not lucky sometimes but due to the fact that even when they get lucky they still stupidly make several mistakes again that is the major problem.

Addicted gamblers do not always lose but sometimes they win and they don't enjoy that win because they utilise that reward again for earning more but all the time there is not a win win situation in his luck. Addictive gamblers lose more but their wins are not large in number because they always try to recover the lost amount but cannot do this as they don't give a break to gambling but continuously gambling without using their mind.

Greed is the main reason behind the addiction of gamblers and they don't gamble with a limited amount but increase the limit after each loss therefore they become an addictive gambler and can never leave to gamble.

Addiction depends on the level and behavior, even addiction is classified into several different parts.  there are those who have low addiction or also those who have severe addiction, usually called Gambling Disorder. Usually gamblers like this have a tendency that makes them gamble continuously, and this can then cause changes in the way the brain sends signals. The brain will automatically want more things to move the reward system, until finally the activity becomes a very excessive habit.

When someone becomes an addict, a system of desires and preferences will be intertwined. As a result, addicts will want to get what they want rather than what they like or need. In the end, people who experience an addiction disorder are filled with a high desire to do more activities to get pleasure. but no matter how much they win, for example if they are lucky, in the end the money they earn will end up back on the gambling table. that's why, this fits the theme of the OP's title in this thread. but not all addicts are like that, if they are still within control limits. they will soon realize, and end the game. whether winning or losing, not all addicts will spend their time playing and betting. as I said, every addict is at a different level. Regarding matters of winning or losing, this is actually part of gambling.

No one is saying that, they would also have times they win money also but what difference does it make when they would also spend that money to gamble again and even more.
The board has only emphasised on the bad side of gambling cause it clearly outweighs every other benefits if there are any that could come with it.

Of course, in fact in gambling there is no difference between gamblers who are addicted and ordinary gamblers who come with the intention of just looking for entertainment, meaning that the chances of winning apply to all typical gamblers regardless of how they treat their gambling activities, but yes, as you said, one The difference between gamblers who are addicted and those who are not addicted is in terms of the way they take action after winning, where they always find it difficult to ignore their greed, in the sense that when they win, they continue the game by increasing the risk of betting, which in the end results in this action. brought them back to defeat.

So it doesn't mean that addicted gamblers always experience defeat, but as a result of the wrong way they treat their gambling, in the end, losses occur more often than wins because they treat their gambling activities wrongly.

Yeah most people misinterprets gambling addicts to be those that doesn't win at all but yet they get money from other sources to finance their gambling but it's not like that and there are some addicts that even wins more than an ordinary gambler that plays occasionally because there are higher chances of a continuous gambler to win just that at the end they still end up losing all their winnings and all their efforts goes in vain so gambling addicts wins and apart from those set of gamblers that doesn't give up on an amount they have lost and continue chasing losses till they get addicted if not gambling addicts are even the higher winners but in the quest to win more out of greed makes them look so foolish after losing everything.

I agree with you, that is part of the fact.
Addicted gamblers often don't appreciate their winnings, I mean they don't know how to stop because of their ambition to win more. Of course, this is self-defeating behavior and as far as I know, the average greedy gambler ends up going home empty-handed.

Recently someone I know (not a friend) won almost $32k betting on slot games. He withdrew his winnings later that day and planned to buy a car for fun, while he was still gambling every day. In the end, he still failed to stop after winning the big win because to fulfill his gambling needs he pawned his car to get money. I don't need to tell you where the car is now, you can guess the end of the story.

People who gamble excessively become experienced at gambling. As gamblers become more experienced, they are more likely to win than lose at gambling. A gambler may win a lot of money by gambling but cannot keep it. Because gamblers become addicted to gambling, they  Gives loss. And those who understand that now they cannot win by gambling, then they cash out the money and stop gambling. And those who spend more time gambling without stopping gambling are the ones who suffer losses.

People who gamble excessively are necessary not responsible gamblers. Your level of responsibility as a gambler actually depends on other Gambling habits and in fact gambling too frequently is not even a proper habit. Experienced gamblers are usually those that take time to study and understand not only the gambling activities the indulge in but also their level of dependence and seriousness in gambling activities.
Personally I believe that people tag gambling addicts as addicts mainly because they lose more too often than they make wins making their gambling none profitable. Gambling addicts most of the time are unable to control their spendings and even time they put into gambling activities.

Spending more time in gambling doesn't increase your chance of winning but it can make you more responsible as you experienced many losses already. Addicted gamblers doesn't mean you're on the losing streak, addicted can means different if you know how to deal with gambling. Excessive mistakes with gambling can put you into a bad situation, and having a bad attitude towards gambling is not ok at all most of the time they suffer a lot because of their own actions.

Yes, it must be true that addicted gamblers also do not mean that they always lose, because after all, as we discussed above, the chances of winning are for everyone involved in gambling, and yes I agree with you that sometimes addicted gamblers manage to get a much bigger win than non-addicted gamblers, And I think it's very reasonable because as we know that addicted gamblers usually do not hesitate to take various significant or overly aggressive decisions such as betting with large budget amounts which when luck comes at the right time then it means that their winnings must also be large.

But yes in the end because they have the wrong way of treating their gambling activities such as applying greed then yes the bad possibilities they experience again such as losing all the amounts they have previously earned and the situation is a situation that makes an addicted gambler experience more significant emotions that make them assume and think of chasing losses as we often hear and it is caused by a sense of revenge in themselves.

What stimulates gambling addiction is from the winning which the gambler has been experiencing, this will give him the impression of gambling as a good source of income due to his continuous winning, maybe him having more win than loses. At the end, getting addicted will only make him increase his staking power which the sites must surely take profit as he loses then he will be left with no option than to chase his loses which means going extra extent to get money either by selling properties or loans. The reward at last is always dangerous, that is why it is best not to get addicted.

Over the years scientists have realized that the random nature of gambling not only helps casinos to protect themselves from skilled gamblers, but it has an effect on the rate at which a behavior is repeated, so if a person begins to gamble and they begin to think about the possibility of actually earning money in this way, there are high chances of becoming addicted, as they begin to repeat this behavior until it becomes second nature to them.

Of course spending more time on gambling activities doesn't increase a gambler's winnings, rather it can relatively improve the gamblers experience and level of understanding especially for games the depend more on factors like analysis and experience and most of the time less luck. Gambling activities should be carried out in a disciplined manner to avoid gambling addictions , therefore as a gambler spending too much time on gambling activities can often turn out to have negative effects of addiction on the gambler.

As a gambler you should be able to properly manage your losses and winnings. So in cases where the losses are becoming uneconomical the gambler could take a break instead of staking unnecessarily based on his emotions.

Yes, maybe that is one of the things that casinos know, so they apply an algorithm that runs randomly by providing a chance of winning that applies to all gamblers, so that when a gambler feels that he has failed in his efforts to win, in the end he will be curious to try the method. the second time and so on it will be like that which in the end we call it an addiction cycle.

This means that in this case the casino already knows what the situation will be like
by gamblers which ultimately leads them to always repeat the same mistakes in order to realize their curiosity and hopes regarding winning. Therefore, this is the reason why gamblers, especially those who have just arrived and are involved in gambling, always use common sense and a rational mindset, because if nothing else, you will definitely be able to make truly wise decisions and will not easily fall into things that look tempting

I think you are right those who are addicted to gambling might not control himself/herself before losing all of his/her funds. But those who are not fully addicted and those who can control himself/herself the person can stop anytime when the person wants.

Compulsive gamblers, apart from losing money, are always frustrated and have many things that invade them, such as bad vibes and knowing that despite everything they feel like they are doing things wrong, so that is something that is not good to feel, there are many who lose friends, even their own family, those who are heads of families enter a degree of total irresponsibility because they know that many bad things come to them, so sometimes these types of things hurt anyone a lot, you always have to have control and responsibility, I would say that what a compulsive gambler loses the most is their sense of responsibility.

Addicted gamblers do not lose money all the time, they win too,the problem with them is about there irresponsible actions, uncontrolled habits that lead to much losses even after a win. Many addicted gamblers only care about how to gamble for the rush of dopamine and quench there urge without limits.

Addicted gamblers might not lose money in the short term because they might be lucky to win huge money in a short amount of time, but based on statistics, these addicted gamblers will lose money in the long term because not all the time they're winning. There will be a time where they will lose all the winnings that they got.

These addicted gamblers who are winning huge amounts of money in a short amount of time will feel the adrenaline and they will think to stay and gamble even more because they feel that they can win more, until it comes to a point where they will lose all of their money because they don't know when to stop gambling especially if they needed to.

Their uncontrollable habits make those who are infected with gambling addiction experience more losses than luck. They win very often but if calculated with the budget they have spent, the winning percentage is lower than what they have spent. Gambling addicts not only experience losses from a financial perspective, but they also lose from a mental, attitude and behavior perspective.

When the desire to gamble grows and they don't have money, usually addicts will do everything they can to fulfill their desire. The positive impact of gambling must be considered so that you don't become a gambling addict, gambling responsibly will allow you to enjoy every game and not cause negative effects when outside the casino.

Yes, it's a fact that I see it where most gambling addicts can't control their emotions so that when they win they don't really stop their gambling addiction because their bad habits make them like that, that's why gambling addiction is a disease that really must be avoided. by gamblers because if you have this disease it will be difficult to recover from this bad habit, it is important to control yourself so as not to lose more money when gambling.

I even met someone when he gambled all the time and I asked him what he was looking for, it turned out he was chasing and trying to recover his losses but at the same time I saw him win big and get the jackpot, then what did he do, he kept playing and hoped he could win? get more wins, even though at that time his winnings had recovered all his losses but he continued playing and finally lost everything, what you said is true, that every gambling addict must have won and not always lost money, it's just that they can't control themselves well.

That's the top reason why those addicted gamblers shows that they didn't win everytime people asked them what happened, The truth is, they can't control their self, the way they think about the money that they got, Addicted gamblers always wants to gamble to the point that they didn't notice what's happening, They always say that they're chasing their losses but when they win huge amount, they will not contented, Addicted gamblers will push to gamble again and again until the money that they have will gone. It's difficult for an addicted person to maintain their thinking that's why it is highly adviceable to have a strong self control so we will not ended up being like them.

Not just addicted gamblers are losing money at all times but every who gambles without control are losing their money. I'm not a gambling addict but I also lose money at times. And that's why losing isn't limited only to what state are you in your gambling status. But gambling addicts do also win money and that's why they are having a race on their minds whether to stop or just keep on going but they don't notice that they're already addicted. So, there is no skip in losing and even you are going to gamble casually, you'll also lose money. There's no one that will be exempted with it because even the owners that don't gamble with their own casinos, they're also going to lose for sometime. That's basically a normal matter for every gambler to understand. So, you lose some and then you're going to lose also on an instance of our lives. It's just too different for the addicted gamblers because their reaction isn't going to be the same with the casual gamblers. So, as for the addicted ones, you can figure out the changes on their lives and they are going to show you differently once you see how emotional they are.

The thing is that every gambler, even the good ones, lose all their winnings every time, but the funny thing about gambling addicts is that, they lose the money faster than any clown on the planet, even faster than an average gambler, even faster than someone who bets quite wisely and is not losing money over trivial things.

Even sadder, gambling addicts don't lose their money on any other stuff than gambling, some of us here can cash out their winnings and probably take their friends, families, or themselves out for a quick dinner and getaway, some of us may indulge between having fun or getting gadgets and other stuff, but these gambling addicts will always lose their money to gambling and nothing else, which makes these people even more desperate and hooked to gambling.

So it's not really about who loses more money than who, it's about who can make the most money out of certain stuff and gambling addicts just lose theirs in the most unproductive ways.

remembering that gambling is a game that has been regulated, of course those who are addicted to gambling will only experience losing money, what's more, the small chance of winning cannot be changed, for gamblers they only have a bigger chance of losing so it's not strange that gamblers who are addicted only you'll just lose your money. Even though there is a chance of winning, it is very unlikely, especially with a big win that could change their lives, it is almost impossible because the host will definitely limit winnings for the players. and also as you said, there are times when they will lose all the winnings they have obtained because usually when they win the feeling of wanting to get bigger is there and strong, and many gamblers lose the winnings they have obtained because they follow their greed.
This case is no longer a strange case, in my opinion it has become commonplace for many gamblers to lose their winnings because they feel they can get a bigger win when they have won, so when they have won, the action they take is not to withdraw their winnings but to gamble again. The bet amount is increased higher to get a bigger win, but instead of wanting to get a bigger win, it actually causes the winnings that have been obtained to be lost again.

Everyone experiences losses but it can be more if you are terribly addicted to gambling. Because there is no exemption in gambling, while some gamblers are winning, some are also losing. If we are too lucky this day, is possible we can be unlucky the next day. We can't change this thing because we just rely on luck, not our knowledge and skill. Therefore, if we are into gambling we must be aware of possible losses and help ourselves to be prepared for it.

But I don't think addicted gamblers feel the urge because I don't think they still feel it. Until they don't stop gambling and continue their wrong gambling approach, the more they lose money and the worst thing that possibly happens is to sell all their assets.

If we see that we are constantly losing, but despite this the player really wants to play, then we need to continue, but we need to reduce the size and frequency of bets. Of course, I understand that it is very difficult for such players to do this, but if this is not done, then everything will be lost without a trace, including material values. The problem with addicted gamblers is that they cannot stop, although they should have done this several months ago and calmed down, but they want to prove to themselves that they are not losers, while there are winning players. These urges come from within, their childhood, this desire to follow to the end no matter what the cost, and of course this is wrong.

I have seen players who win, but the most important question is how much they have lost up to this point and I am afraid that it is much more.

When we say someone is addicted to gambling,it does not mean that they lose all the time,but their problem is there is no win that can ever be enough for them to stop gambling,even when they win big,they always have that desire to win more,and that is what drives them into gambling everyday.They gamble everyday and that money they already won from gambling will be lost.
This means that gamblers who Gambles everyday have their lucky days too,but their losing days are more than the days they win.

A fact most gamblers hardly come in terms with, you can not get to catch up with every opportunity that will eventually come up on trading and most gamblers don't agree because they feel that staying in the casino all day long so they can hop up on every opportunity which some times GRE them to loose funds instead of just winning, gambling can get addictive if you continue gambling because you think you will win just by spending more time on the chat.

Mistakes are bound to be made gambling and even with other things but then you should try to minimize how much of a mistake you always make in cause of gambling so you can be able to cut down on your losses because more mistakes can really mean that you will most likely get to accumulate more losses and will not be able to make good profit off your gambling activities.

In short, they are losers because they lack the discipline to control themselves, so they are never satisfied. With the reality in gambling that we all lose in the long run, it's only a matter of time before these addicted gamblers have no means to gamble anymore. We should not wait until that time comes for us.

It's actually okay to lose because it's part of gambling, and in fact, only a few are winners. If we belong to the majority, we should be brave enough to accept that we are losing money. The only way to justify those losses is to have fun every time we gamble, so we will think that we are paying for the entertainment.

Actually, they also win it.

But the problem is this:
1. Their losses must have been far greater than the wins they achieved
2. If they win, they will use the money again for gambling, why? because they want to win again in the next round. And what happened?
They failed and failed again. In the end, their money was lost again.
3. They will maintain loss control and will be addicted to gambling again with very high hopes of winning.
4. Many of them end up fantasizing or having very high hopes that one day they will be able to return the capital from the money they have spent so far by getting the jackpot. but that day never came.

And this cycle continues to happen to addicted gamblers, but they don't succeed in getting rid of it, until something bad actually happens to them. It really terrifies me when I see someone who is addicted to gambling and can't get away from it at all.

I think that the phrase "it's okay that I lose at gambling" can only be uttered by gamblers who have an absolutely correct view of gambling. In gambling, if a gambler makes a deposit, he must understand that he has already given this money.
And there is no need to wait for this money back, and even more so for its increase. It's like money for an attraction: the ticket has been bought, and now you need to have fun.
This is the right critical thinking that will never disappoint a gambler.

Well it's a nice idea you've mentioned above and I understand the fact that some gamblers find it hard to recognize this idea due to the losses they may have incurred while gambling. It's quite obvious that after the money has been deposited it's  already in the bank role and the player still has the opportunity to win and as well withdraw his funds but on the long run players who are addicted don't have the opportunity to withdraw because they actually want to win multiple times even when they've won some amount. They're hardly satisfied with the amount of money already won. Hence, accumulating more losses is the only option left on an addicted player. As he'd hardly stop is gambling session after winning big or losing out substantial amount of money.

Exactly, I agree with you that the ability to accept the risks that are likely to occur will most likely only be able to be done by gamblers who have the right and correct understanding of how gambling really is. Because obviously if for example from the beginning they only see gambling in terms of winning opportunities as is done by gamblers who we are already addicted to then surely defeat is a situation that will be really difficult to accept which is simply that they are typical loser gamblers who always want to win but do not want to accept the consequences of risk.

But even though the reality is like that we still can't give up telling, advising and directing people who have just come and are involved in gambling to first justify their understanding of how gambling really is, one of which is like you said that when we have made a deposit, we must realize and prepare ourselves that there is a possibility that the money will be lost, especially when luck does not come at the right time.

Gamblers should have the kind of thinking where they think of gambling as paying for your entertainment, maybe you can equate it to watching a circus so you are entertained.
This is some people consider gambling part of the fun while there are still people expecting more from gambling, for example, wanting to win so they chase losses, this is often done by gamblers who cannot control themselves or do not accept if they lose in gambling.

There are quite a lot of characters that describe the behavior of gamblers, and their goals are also very different. For those who have a permanent job, for example, gambling only aims to relieve the stress caused by work pressure, and they gamble purely for fun. Usually they also don't think about the money they lost and don't think about chasing it either, because their initial intention was to gamble for fun.

On the other hand, for those who don't have a permanent job, it can be said that gambling is not just for fun, but is a way to generate income. If they are lucky, they will get pleasure and win, if not they will keep trying again, even with a small amount of capital. We often encounter these two types of typical gamblers in our environment.

Actually there are gamblers who are even braver, where they will lend money to gamble, I think the latter also happens a lot. It's just that they are rarely seen and tell of his actions about it because it can put pressure on them.

It's good to have good thoughts, such as considering gambling as a means of entertainment only, even though there is a chance or opportunity to get a reward, don't rely on it, meaning don't hope for it, because hoping for it will usually only make us bend. actions that are risky because they are not considered properly and will not think about the risks that will occur by carrying out actions that carry big risks. Even though there are many people who gamble to make money, I think there are some or some people who gamble just for fun by being able to keep their thoughts under control and not being reckless in their actions in gambling, even though there are more gamblers who are chasing losses. which actually makes them lose more money.
with gamblers who cannot accept defeat because the money they bet on is lost or with those who cannot control themselves, of course this is very vulnerable to doing, especially with people like that, they are gamblers who hope that they will definitely win even though in reality it is not like that. because winning at gambling may be based on luck alone, otherwise it only increases the chance of winning but does not change the luck factor.

The addicted gamblers will lose everything before they will stop. In most cases, they won’t stop either and look for loans from family and friends to keep the urge of gambling going and playing unlimited gambling without caring, what they are losing. Even if the addicted gamblers win few of the games, this should not mean that they should continue with an addicted mindset. Gambling only rewards you if you have sense on how to control your emotions.


If an ordinary (responsible) gambler, loses in gambling, then it is not a much concern because we know that the gambler will lose some games but they managed portfolio well. They will not over gamble or revenge gamble and know the ricks associated with gambling already. However it is the addicted gambler who will make the mess of it.

Remember it is not about addicted gambler winning some games, it is about his overall reaction towards gambling and his mismanagement plus the lack of control over himself.

Players who don't want to hear anything about losses are the ones who most often lose large sums. They test their luck in practice, or rather in the game, they are not interested in the words of other players, they think that there is only him and the game, and also that he will definitely win and there simply cannot be another outcome. Self-confidence and self-belief is something for which they will pay dearly and even after that they may not come to any conclusions. I have always been cautious about many things, and gambling is no exception. This saved me because I immediately understood what it was like to lose and I had no self-confidence. There is a good expression - you need to be able to lose. If we fail to do this, then addiction will haunt us.

Frequent losses are normal more than 60% more we lose than win, if you don't hear about losses even though the intention is for fun then it can enter into addiction because they continue to practice to win while we never know when we win from the capital spent.
Yes confidence in gambling is always there this is the principle of many gamblers, you say today will play and sure to win this can happen and can also miss your money runs out but I always remember about limits, I will not practice to wait for patience to win.

Does addicted gambler really means that he is loosing all the time? That person can be spending all his money and gambling all the time, winning and loosing. A person might place a small bet, win a million and gamble with it for years, placing tiny bets. That person can also be an addicted gambler, but that does not mean that he has lost a lot of money. I think many misunderstood meaning of addiction. Not always it means something negative. Like for example we drink coffee every day. We are coffee addicted, but that does not mean that we dont drink anything else.

The fact of the matter is that addicted players, of course, lose money just like regular games without addiction, but the fact is that this simply happens more often than winnings, if you count it on large numbers of bets. If we take a small number of bets, then of course even addicted players will sometimes win, but this raises another question, what will they do with the winning money. If they don’t go and spend it on things or flowers or a gift for their beloved girl, then this money will go back into the gambling system and be wasted in the next bets in the game. Many players who write posts here and read the forum have already gone through this.

and those are those players who are already heavily addicted to gambling and don't want to listen to anything from other people about the losses they have experienced. Another aim of other people around them is to make the addict aware, but because they are already heavily addicted to gambling so they ignore things. That's because if they are already addicted, of course they will only focus on what they want to do and gambling is what they really want, even in the long term. if they become addicted, of course they will not be interested in other things because as I have said, they will only focus on their desire to gamble, and people who are seriously addicted are the ones who will most often experience losses in large or small bets.

In gambling, of course, being too confident is also not good, because it can lead us to gamble excessively. with those who gamble very confidently, it is very likely that they will not be able to stop gambling even though they have experienced defeat in the gambling they have done. and indeed we should be careful in making decisions and the actions we will take, as much as possible we should be able to do things that will not harm us further.

The risk of losing or losing in gambling does not look at whoever they are, or what that means is that everyone involved in gambling of course they will certainly have the possibility of losing regardless of whether they are addicts or not, and for one of the reasons why the possibility of losing is much more common than winning is obviously because from the beginning the casino has set the algorithm behind the game where they make the percentage of winning much smaller than losing, meaning that most likely gamblers will lose more often than win.

But I would also say that in gambling whoever you are you still have the chance of winning and the possibility of losing, but maybe winning will be less frequent than losing, but often gambling addicts make the possibility of risk greater because they have an overly aggressive approach such as risking large amounts of money along with difficulty limiting the time of involvement so it is only natural that their losses are much greater than non-addicted gamblers, And for the problem of money won when they are lucky, usually the addicted gamblers continue their gambling sessions because of the greed that is difficult to ignore so that in the end the money is lost again, and this is very common for those who are addicted.

Unfortunately, gambling is a place where self-confidence plays against every gambler.
If someone is confident in himself and counts only on himself, he will consider all losers who do not understand how to "correctly" gamble in a casino or place bets. But every person should have critical thinking, and admit the fact that he himself may be wrong. This is normal, we all learn and reflect, this is the quality of every strong healthy personality. As well as the ability to listen to other people.

It's all about greed, they just can't get enough of it no matter how much they win, every time they win something big, their mind starts telling them that if they could win this much, they can win more than this if they play more, and then they start gambling again only to lose what they have already won because you can't keep winning constantly in gambling, that is not how gambling works, if this was possible, every gambler would have been rich and all casinos would have gone bankrupt already.

So, you are right that they don't get to have much control over themselves or their emotions which is the reason why they barely can enjoy even if they manage to win a significant amount because they will only lose it all back and would never be able to use the funds for something useful in their lives.

Addicted gamblers don't always lose in gambling, sometimes they used to win their bets, but since they are addicted to gambling, they will use the same money they won to continue gambling until they lose everything without doing any meaningful things for themselves. Since they are addicted to gambling, they see it as a way of life and something they can't do without, and they will keep placing bets with huge amounts of money, believing they will win a jackpot that will change their lives.

I think most of the time they do yet yesterday a strange thing happened to me,while I have lost every single day(this makes me somewhat addicted as I have played everyday) I won big yesterday night in the game that made me experiences loses every day,I hit the x500 multiplier in level 3 of the bonus of Rabbit Garden equaling to x1500 of your bet at such level and won near 1000 dollars.

To make an analogy the addicted gamblers play with much higher bets than me and if they hit such multiplier or even higher they can win such a big amount that they can recover a lot.So almost always but not always.

I think that you are wrong that addicted lose money more often. Loser and unlucky lose money more often than other gamblers. Addicted just gamble more frequently and do it more passionately. What, if I daily buy a lottery ticket and lose, instead of a snack on a gas station, this means I am addicted? Or does it means I just love to test my luck daily? Or I can hourly collect money from casino faucet and play. 0 own money lost. Will is still mean that addicted lose all the time?

That would be ideal, imo, but is it happening in reality? Tiny bets after winning a million? I think that's not what an addicted gambler would be doing. Rather, he would be placing such bets that he would lose his million in a week or two.


Addiction is always something negative. Even addiction to coffee is bad for your health, addiction to food even. It's true that in some case addicted gambler is not losing a lot of money, but he's loosing his time, loses his sight if he's chained to the screen all the time. No, there's nothing positive in any addiction.

No, we all win and lose that is how gambling works. Whether a person is addicted or not the same thing implies, there are times we may win and there are times that we may lose. Addiction only makes a gambler not quit gambling when he is supposed to and also it makes someone make wrong decision and develop bad gambling habits. For example- using money for important purposes for gambling, stealing or taking loans to gambling, going all in and so on.

I don't want to believe that there is anything like unlucky people in gambling. Luck is something that can happen to anyone and that is rare. Even if there are no accurate or sure predictions when one is gambling at least there are level of accuracy to what we choose to bet. No one is perfect but we all try. You can't see some someone that looses so uncertain and still choose to gamble more.

In addition to self-confidence, I would add that his own ego also plays against the player. Gambling is not a place where confidence in your victory will be rewarded, because faith and other feelings only get in the way and only increase losses. Modesty and extreme caution are what help me avoid losing huge amounts of money, unlike addicted gamblers.

I have once seen addicted players win large sums and even make big purchases, but they will end up selling everything to get back into the game, it's like an endless routine of day after day that is very difficult to get out of, but that doesn't mean it is It’s not possible, so you have to try no matter what.

Of course, I understand that there is an algorithm installed in advance that determines the winning percentage, but the fact is that we understand such simple things when most players do not understand this, but sincerely believe that winnings and losses depend on other reasons that they have invented for themselves yourself. Some players even use various items that have brought them luck up to this point. But they can be understood, because blinded by money or in order to win, the player will believe literally anything.

Dependent players take money back, sometimes I don’t even understand why they do this, but they already have an emotional addiction, some of them don’t even know why they need this money and don’t know the answer to the question of when to stop the game, they just play without a break even if they win .

Cant speak for everyone, but if I win a million, I would still place tiny bets. Why? Because I dont want to lose everything quickly (I dont want to lose in general, but I dont mind loosing). Because I will probably buy something or invest bigger part of that million. Moreover, I that this million wont change me. I will still work, I would still gambler with small bet. Million isnt much. I would buy a house, new car and spend rest on travelling.


What about people who go to gym regularly. Many times I have heard that they got used to gym so much, that when they havent visit it for few weeks, they got a strong wish to drop everything and go there. Isnt it an addiction? Is addicted to sport bad?

You raised a good topic for discussion but I think you're mistaken addiction and losing. Gambling addiction is not a direct proportional to losing, in fact, people with gambling addiction occasionally win huge amounts of money in gambling which deceive them more to continue gambling as they see it as a breakthrough. However, gambling addiction is not about winning or losing, it's all about the characteristics of compulsive and destruction that befall a gambler as the negative consequences.

The number one consequences in my opinion is the mental health issues ranging from depression, stress and anxiety that may probably lead to suicide if care is not taken. Your time meant for important things and loved ones will be used gambling and thereby affecting your relationship with people. If addiction is all about winning or losing, nobody will show concern or raise alarm over addiction, after all, gambling is about losing and winning but the consequences of gambling addiction overwhelm the short term benefits (winning money). This is why it has become imperative for us to speak against addiction.

The point is that yes, as you said, gamblers who believe that winning and losing depend on how good the techniques or methods they have are those who have been blinded by money as the object of winning in gambling, I believe in that because I also have mistakes. one colleague who is a gambler in a type of slot game and often when he wins he says that the pattern or technique he created really works well, while when he loses he says the opposite, and of course the meaning and logic is that for example previously someone Gamblers managed to win in this way, then why do they lose in the next few sessions? Even though they used the same pattern or technique, this is what really doesn't make sense to me.

So in my mind and for me it is very simple that when I win it means I am lucky, there are no other thoughts besides that. Another thing I think is quite simple to respond about something that you don't understand about why many gamblers always do crazy things that they don't even know about why they do it, but it's quite simple to conclude that it seems to me that these actions are do it because there is high hope and confidence in winning, as we know, we will always need money at any time.
