I really need a clarification on this. Is chasing looses in gambling same as looking for closure because i recently read an article on reddit where the poster said that he will gamble untill he wins just to look for closure. I have been thinking about this for sometime now because closure has the same characteristics with chasing looses which is even when the gambler is loosing he will still be gambling just to recover all his looses.

If you gamble and you lose, best not to gamble at that time again, because it can bring you more losses. You want to close the losses by winning little or you want to win all back can take more money from you. Gamble responsibly.

Forget about the loss, do not gamble again for that time, have good quality mindset back before gambling. Do not count what you lose as losses, use little amount you can afford to lose to gamble.

Chasing losses for closure? That's just a silly justification to me. Any person who thinks that way is already considered a gambling addict in my book and is only finding absurd reasons why he keeps on betting. I can confidently say that there will be no closure even after he manages to get a winning streak. He will still gamble his winnings until he loses again. The cycle continues......

You are better off calling for some help^[1] if you think that chasing loses would justify the closure in terms of gambling! Come on mate, its 2023, you can't just ruin your life because of some stupid reddit post.

I don't think chasing loses will bring any benefit to a gambler.Gamblers who keep playing,do so for a reason,they are still expecting to hit that huge jackpot or big win otherwise without any objective and motivation closing up on gambling is really easy.To make it further look good most casinos offer you benefits the longer you play with them,with rakeback which is giving you something back for every bet you make at that casino,so if you win,you get some small amount on top of it from rakeback,if you lose,you have that rakeback as a consolation prize.Different strategies keep people gambling but the main one is to hit a huge jackpot or a huge payout.

When people take a good profit they keep chasing more and we know how gambling works not all the time it's your lucky day if you win already a good profit why not call this a day and not just keep being greedy. Once you get to lose all those winnings that are the time you'll chase those losses and instead you get satisfied because you are getting greedy you keep going on it to chase and make your losses double

Set a plan stick to it and gambling activities always have a limit. Be a responsible gambler.

According to me, finding closure is when the gambler wants to make even with the losses and then exit.
Chasing losses is the process to finding closure. As simple as that.
But this is something which we should avoid at all times because we eventually end up losing more instead of finding closure.

I second that this is just a way to make people believe that he has reason to continue this is the first time I encounter such a word in gambling, if you cannot stop from chasing your losses, you are a gambling addict no ifs no buts and you just want to defend your action so people will not think that you are addicted to gambling and you cannot be stopped from playing until you lose everything.

He needs closure after a loss and he decides the best way to do so is by pursuing his losses, that is a bad decision already in itself. Gambling unfortunately does not know who needs closure or not, gambling shows no mercy and cares less for someone who has even lost, he will keep loosing until he understands that closure is gotten by accepting losses made already and not chasing after them in gambling. If he decides to keep chasing closure by trying to win, he will loose and simply become frustrated or even depressed by his actions.

Which means there is no difference from those words, when lose the gambler will play again to find a win and then closure it. That's right, we must avoid this. My experience is when chasing losses will always lose, rarely find a win to close it especially in slot games. :D I personally gambling only with money which can afford to lose, if lose I must be to stop and then continue when want to gambling again next weeks.

They are certainly not the same. You can try again, like once, just to see if you'll win for the last time but not until just you actually win because what if it took you to bet all of your available fund? I think it is not a worthy closure at all. Chasing losses is completely different from finding closure in your lose. You can have closure without spending too much time and money to earn it back. You can learn not to do the same mistake again.

it means this person has lost a lot of money because he will continue to gamble to find victory, to be honest it looks sad when he sees someone addicted to gambling to the point of high curiosity, I guarantee he will not be able to return all that has been lost after all chasing him will not finding that closure, I thought it would slowly kill him and the only way was to get someone to stop him

I don't think you can classify a Reddit post as an article. It's like referring to some threads on this forum as news. Just take a look at that thread and you can see more or less the same comment about OP's decision. It is clear that OP is addicted to gambling and he probably won't quit until something worse happens, which is unfortunate.

If you share the same opinion as him, I suggest you take a break and rethink it. You can't get closure by keep gambling your money away, if you already lose too much then stop and quit, look for jobs, and save/invest your money in BTC or other things. That is arguably better than spending your money continuously without thinking about your life.

We often see cases like that, in this case it can be said for those who lose big in betting, frustration, disappointment, emotional the main basis for those who say so is closing and chasing victory.

I conclude in this discussion, if they are lucky, maybe they can do a closing, but not sure what they say, it's just lust and emotional talk, if they win at gambling, I'm sure they will still bet and will spend the winning money again.

Remember, the world of gambling has the most advanced tools to hypnotize its customers.   

That just means that he will gamble until he losses everything, he just makes up a word so people will understand, closure can be used in a relationship but never in gambling the guy is coining or inventing new words so those who are chasing their losses will just say I want to continue playing not to chase my losses but only for closure.
We all know excessive gamblers will find a way or say unusual words so they can get support on why they should continue gambling even if they are losing.

It is always very risky to keep on gambling if you have limited funds. If you are not some sort of investor billionaire, or youtuber, or holding owner etc you obviously have limited funds. If you feel like you are addicted to gambling and enjoying fun, its best to play with low amount of cash so at least you would lose less. But if you keep trying to cover your losses everyday it will never help you. Only very lucky gamblers can achieve success in such situation. Sometimes its best thing to leave table or close browser and go for walk in sunny weather. This is how I see.

Closure is different from chasing losses. Chasing losses is just the will of the gambler to play more just to recover loss while closure is a way to end gambling session win or lose.

I usually do closure using a set amount of win or lose whichever comes first. Setting chasing loss as closure on gambling is suicide because the tendency for a gambler to increase risky bet is high because they want to recover quickly.

Finding closure and chasing losses are both sides of a coin. They are the same symptoms of gambling problem. Any gambler who thinks he or she needs to find closure after a loss is merely living in denial of their addiction. the person needs urgent help. People just like to throw fancy words around to mask their addiction. If you lose log out and find an outdoor activity to do. If you find out you are gambling above your budget, log out and find someone else to talk to. Don't find closure. Don't chase losses.

chasing your losses and looking for closure are basically the same. the real question is, would he really quit once he got his "closure"? the fact that he wants "closure" in order to stop gambling already shows how much he can't control himself, I won't be surprised if he stops gambling even if he wins back some of his winnings. if you check the dude's account on Reddit he clearly has a gambling addiction. the dude needs help.

also after checking his post history, the dude clearly has a gambling addiction(he admitted it himself) so I think when he says he wants closure in order to quit, he is just making an excuse to justify and continue his gambling instead of rehabilitating himself.

how did you come to that conclusion if you don't know OP personally, you don't know anything about his life, you don't know anything about his gaming history, maybe OP is asking these questions because he intends to create a book? maybe OP is asking these questions because at his college or at his work he was told to do research on this topic or maybe OP chose this topic as a finalization course in college and for that reason he is asking questions. My point is that just because the guy asked these questions doesn't mean he's a gambling addict.


in my opinion the two things are the same things, they just have different names but action and intention are the same. I'll give you an example: a person deposits 100$, takes 10$, loses, takes another 10$ and loses, repeats this cycle until he has 10$, then says: "I'll keep playing until I have 100$ and then I give up!". now comes another person who deposits 100$, bets 10$ and loses, bets 10$ again and loses, repeats this cycle until he has 10$ and then says: "I will continue playing to recover my losses and I will make profits". in both cases they will play until they lose everything, they will sell everything they have, they will steal and lie and in the end they will end up in a rehab clinic for gambling addicts. always look at gambling as fun

There is only one rule you need to know when you are gambling. You are going to lose in the long run unless you do the forbidden stuff like EV/Arbitrage betting. I am saying forbidden because they make you win and if you are winning who is losing? The casino. Obviously they don't want to lose because it is their business to make money.

So, when you decide to play even more to make up for your losses, what do you think gonna happen? You'll lose even more money.

If you don't want to lose money, just stop playing. Be a responsible gambler. Play once a week, twice a week, whatever... Have a plan and never change it.

If it matters to you that you win before you stop for the day then might really spend more in order to win back the loss. But that is if the luck changes.

To me it doesn't matter whatever is the difference between the two. If it meant losing, I would just find closure to drink a bottle of beer and call it a day. There is more day ahead and more important things to do than chasing a loss.

Yes, chasing losses is the same as looking for closure, because by seeking for a positive closure means he isn't going to stop playing until he makes profit from his gambling session. That is exactly what gamblers chasing losses do. However, instead of finishing the session in profit, they end losing the entire funds, going busted, as this kind of approach doesn't work effectively on most times.

So don't get distracted by terms like closure. After all they are so dangerous and impracticable as chasing losses.

I hope this is clear to you now.

It will produce the same consequences, so at the end it's the same thing for the player, it's a dangerous way of playing. Evry gambling games has a house edge meaning you are likely lose the percentage the house has on you in the long run but not way more than it. It's usually around 5%, and rarely above 10%, if the game is legit. It means you are not likely to lose way more than $500 if you wager $10 000 in many bets. Unfortunately by doing what you say, you are increasing volatility by increasing your stakes, and it can lead to wipe out all your bank roll in few bets instead of "only" $500.
You have also to take into account that the house edge is taken on the total amount you are wagering, it means it's virtually increasing with each bet.

For so.e people it could be.  People like going out on top so they don't have to constantly think about the loses.  It's a physiological thing that almost can't be explained.  Most people also just think they can win back what they lost which is silly but happens.

i don't think chasing losses will give you a good closure. because it means, you won't stop unless you win, which practically means, you may run out of bankroll and you will borrow money just to continue your games. for me, if that is the meaning of your chasing losses, then, better stop gambling. you can find closure in many ways. as you said, you can have a drink and call it a day. but not to the point of not stopping unless you win. you will easily find out that you practically lost a lot before such win. there are other days to get that much coveted win. to find a closure, you should know how to accept defeat also.

It would be a mistake if he gambled until he won because it would cost him a fortune before he could win. In addition, he will not know how much he has won because if you add up how much money he has spent with the wins he has won, the result may be that the number of losses is greater than the number of wins. So when you have experienced defeat or a losing streak, it is better to stop gambling immediately and leave the casino. It can increase your emotions and keep gambling until you win, even though you don't know when you can win. Chasing defeat is not worth it, especially if we get more losses.

Gambling should be seen as a means of entertainment and not to make profit. If you keep on chasing your loss,you will end up losing everything that you have. Chasing your loss will also lead to addiction.

There is nothing like gambling till closure,it is still when you are losing and you think that you can win back all that you have lost,this greed in you will trigger you to chase your loss. Set a certain amount and time for your gambling activities, this will enable you to gamble responsible.

Somebody seeking closure like this is still stuck in completely the wrong mentality, they are holding on to any excuse they can in order to squeeze some extra betting out without facing reality and it's a very slippery slope to follow. Like with many hardcore addictions, it's only when you hit rock bottom that you really can decide that it's time to let go, some people are good enough to keep it "recreational" for their whole lives and it never becomes a problem when it comes to gambling. However, when you have reached that point the only way to start healing is to stop gambling entirely and not start chasing a new theory, because you're still a gambler while placing those supposed final bets.

Even though it's not prohibited, I think this is a mistake because regardless of anything, looking for victory to close in every bet that is made is clearly impossible. Precisely in this case we have to be wiser because when in gambling we lose and always have the ambition to chase the defeat the results will not go well because you will only add to the defeat. Regardless of any conditions like this, it is certain because your gambling intentions are different and chasing previous losses will only have a bad impact on your balance.

When you are losing enough it brings ton of adrenaline and you are less able to make rational decisions. Then people usually just play more and increase the bets and justify their irrational bets by reasoning like that. In reality it would be better to cool off. Gambling isn't going away and you are not in a hurry. Dealing with those emotions first lets you make more informed decisions.

I know it's hard to control as many of us are in here because of that rush. And losing is just another side of that rush.

Chasing losses is basically the gambling version of "trading on emotion", and as any good day-trader knows, that never goes well. Its best not to gamble on emotion, whether on the emotion of frustration from losing money or from the ecstatic feeling of winning more money (feeling lucky).

Usually the end result is (almost always) losing much more money than you thought you were going to lose. Its just probabilistic math and there is nothing you can do.

I recommend taking a break from gambling once you notice that your feelings are getting out of control. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, but you should always gamble with a clear head.

Finding closure is hard.

This is something that make gamblers incur so much losses. Continuously gambling in the hopes of winning to get your money back is just a perfect way of playing till you no longer have any money left to gamble with. When you've gambled to a certain points and you see that you're just losing, its best you just cut your losses and move on. Don't listen to the tiny little voices that will be telling you things like "you might hit the jackpot in the next round". "why are you giving up now".
There's nothing like closure when you've lost money, You'll just be playing out of desperation and confusion.

If we lose then we should accept that it was a loss. There is still tomorrow or other days to try again. If you win then you must also stop as that alone can give you contentment already. No need to think about our losses from yesterday. Past is past as they say. There are people who are successful of recovering their losses.

It becomes easy if one is only getting started in the world of gambling so don't say or think yet that recovering a loss is only about losing because what if you got lucky? But if you have a big doubt then much better if you don't try it. Just continue doing the alternative that you can think of because for you, they are less risky.

The guy just wants to verify that he is losing and chasing his losses which is why he chooses the word closure, this is a good choice of word but whatever word you're using you can't deny the fact that you are chasing your losses in the hope to win back everything you lose that night and you just can't forgive yourself if you did not give yourself a chance to prove that you can win what you've losses, but unfortunately there's a high chance that you can lose even more.
A responsible gambler knows how and when to quit and will not create a reason just to continue because it's futile.

True, totally an absurd mindset. Once you learn to gamble and you develop deep addiction from it, you will never find closure from all your bets, regardless if you win or lose in the process. If you win, you will chase for bigger profits, if you lose, you will still chase to recover your losses. So there’s no closure in gambling, you will never stop gambling unless you decide to from quitting from gambling.

I agree with other members who say that chasing losses and seeking closure are basically the same. which means, you are in the phase of trying to recover previous losses by gambling again. IMO, you're looking for justification for the link you shared. so, you should not need clarification on this matter.
I will not say that you are indicated to be addicted to gambling, I think you just need to know the essence of gambling for you. at least, when you experience defeat, the step you take is to stop for a moment to neutralize your psychology from the impact of defeat. you can come back a few days later, or a week, it could be the next day. Most importantly, avoid always chasing losses. because the impact can be fatal.

I know and understand very well, that what I say is not as easy as what I say. the fact is, sometimes we have a hard time controlling ourselves. whether it's when we get lucky, especially when we experience consecutive defeats. Therefore, what you need to realize is the essence of gambling for you personally. for me, gambling is a fun pastime. however, it must be based on responsibility and self-control.

I think you are right since his plan of playing until he wins doesn't guarantee that loses along thay way would be minimize. It is possible that he could be experiencing a lot of loses before he finally have that win so it isn't a win-win situation since you risk everything you have. It would be dilemma since if he wins quickly with low amount of loses, he might not that get that closure that he wants. So, probably, since you had made your choice to stop it, why not do it as soon as possible so that the risks would be low and it wont really hurt you financially.

That's just wording it positively. The gist of it is, you're still chasing losses. No matter how fancy you construct the wordings are, or how well you think you did on clawing back in on the game, you still chased losses and that's it. You only wasted time if you managed to get even against the casino. And what if you just lost and lost? Then I don't think you'll ever achieve closure if that happens to you, unfortunately.

Nah, I think he is just looking for excuse to continue his gambling habits, simple as that. For sure we have said that to ourselves as well, just one game and one more win or at least break even to quit and move on. But that is the case, because once we got that win and have the money back already, someone will whisper to you to continue. And that's where our emotions comes in, if it is not check, then we will continue because we feel lucky and greedy. And then when we lost, we go back to that same prayer of just one win and no more. So it's going to be cyclical and with that I don't agree or believed that gamblers are going to find some closure if they chase their losses and win it back.

I think this idea is one way to getting frustrated by gambling.
Chasing your loses is one bad way to gamble, you end up developing an addiction problem and you would be in debts if not properly handled.

You get a little some sense of yeah, I finally got some back when you win but, why lose all or most for just that. As a gambler, you need to have a time when you understand that your resources isn't supporting your gambling habit and you just quit the process for the day or over a period when you feel cleared by your resources to gamble again.

Chasing your loses for closure is like running after your own shadow. You would spend more time chasing the shadow which translates to more loses than when the time is noon when your shadow is just with you which translates to actual winning. There is no closure in that but, I guess its a perspective thing.

Chasing its like you want to gain back your losses for the time you gamble. So you do unwanted decision to either bet more bigger amount or continue to play even if you are having a bad day.

Finding closure in my understanding on that is he gamble depends on the mod set on his playing time if he win then he will not have doubt to turn down his game time so that he can take home his winnings and also the same when lossing so that no big lose will occur and try to recover those on next gambling time.

Tf is a closure in gambling lmao. No need to put it like that, You're making something incredibly simple (and dumb) into something that "sounds" complicated or deep, it's simply you ( or the og reddit poster) chasing losses. He couldn't accept the fact that he lost, and since he had funds to gamble more (regardless of where it came from), he's simply going to continue till he is satisfied.

A closure, imo, is something that you chase when you can't understand something. The end result MAY be you still being unable to understand, but at least you looked up enough to the point where it wouldn't matter een if you look for more. Gambling isn't like that, it's easy to understand with clear cut rules and probability range (look it up, there's a lot of math nerds out there).

Gambling until you win for "Closure" is just another way of saying that you don't accept losing as your final result. Of course there is a difference in chasing losses and finding closure. Closure means accepting your result and moving on. Chasing losses is the opposite, being that you refuse to accept your loss and continue to chase until you either win or find yourself in a position where you are screwed ::)

Nope, that closure can be almost anything the gambler prefers for example playing one more round then regardless of the outcome, he'll quit for good. But his closure of winning something back before walking away is indeed similar to chasing losses because the user already mentioned he can't win all of his losses back in one go. Also, these wins happen unexpectedly it can be in the next session or several sessions after and that mindset of wanting to win is likely going to give him more losses before he can get that one last win.

Well, I think you have had enough answers on the subject. What I wanted to add is that ideally gambling sessions should be planned setting up a maximum amount of money and/or time and not exceed it. This is sometimes difficult to do because we get carried away by emotions. Precisely one thing that indicates that a certain person has problems with gambling is that they end up playing longer, and repeatedly losing more money than they had planned.

I would say that the recovery attempt is only valid when you have not yet reached your spending limit.
See well...
If you planned to spend up to $500 on a game... you already spent $200, then you won $800 and then you lost it all, so you still have another $300 to try to make up for it.
I don't see anything wrong with that.

However, if you've already blown your limit when you finally win a lot of money and lose it right away, then it's time to accept your losses and stop playing for a while.

Having losses usually refers to the practice of carrying on with gambling in an effort to recover funds that have already been lost.
It's still gambling and there will be no changes in your luck even how much already you lost. The hope that luck will eventually change and the gambler will recover their losses often drives this behavior.

Chasing losses must not happen in one go; a day. I mean we all chase losses, but the difference is that some want to win immediately while others don't even realize that they are chasing losses, so they play the next day and rest after losing for the day.  According to the link, I think the player doesn't understand his goal as a gambler, he just wants to win before he stops gambling for the day. That means he could end up feeding the house all his money. Because his aim is not to win, he won't stop if he wins a little amount. I think he is a compulsive gambler trying to justify his irresistible actions with a suitable term, finding closure. What stops him from going to bed after multiple loss. No need, OP,  to bother over such terms from players like that, he'll need to find counseling too.

If he continues to gamble in order to recover his money from the casino, then he is chasing losses.
However, if he just wants to have another win before quit gambling, then it is not chasing losses (only if he does not keep in consideration the previous losses he has accumulated).

For example, if I lost 100$ to a casino and I wanted to stop gambling but I wanted to win one last time, then I would forget about the losses and try to win 20$ in a single session, so I can feel better, still knowing I am not getting back what I have lost.

So that is the only difference I can see.

I think they are basically the same, but with closure the emphasis is that the gambler will stop, permanently or temporarily, or stay away for a while after recovering the losses. It is possible that after recovering the starting amount, the gambler will log out of his online casino account or go out of the casino. With chasing losses, it is simply trying to bet more and more just to recover the losses. There is no closure that is sought. The goal is even to make a profit. But the losses will have to be recovered first.

Those who want to chase losses to look for closure are never able to quit, until they realize futility of doing so and put past losses to grave and just be done with it.

clearly , that the poster is only justifying His addiction and telling stories about Him not stopping gambling till he find closure but the fact that he decided to longer his playing means only that he wanted to continue playing while having task(of course that is only for Him)

Indeed , In short? either addicted or going to be an addict .


limit your gambling , then you will understand the true meaning of playing and enjoying .

I guess, these are the best things to do but I must say as a gamble is not easy as one put it for all these things to put in play because most people really get affected by their losses and at that point loose control over what they are doing and feel caught out from the world trying to get back those looses, it only takes a well discipline man or gamble to overcome this losing syndrome.

There is no difference between the two and have similar important points.
Chasing losses vs finding closure are different expressions but basically have the same meaning, namely being able to recover previous losses.
But chasing losses is not recommended because if you fail, the losses experienced will be even greater so that it is better for every gambler to be more able to accept what he has lost.
The only way not to chase losses is to bet using money that he feels he can lose and as much as he can because then a gambler is unlikely to have any more thoughts about chasing losses.

Well, I think it's just an excuse to continue what he used to. If you want closure do you have to win to recover your losses? (Remember that it would be hard also to stop if you already win huge since you might think you need to play again since you're lucky). What if you didn't manage to win according to plan, that means you'll continue until it happened?

There's no need for a closure, if you want to stop then stop. Don't give excuses because it just shows you really can't or you don't want to.

It depends on the gambler, if you're looking for closure you can depict that in some other ways. But if you think that chasing your losses are the ones you're signifying so that you'll find closure then that's it.
There are so many ways to think of but if that satisfies you as you try to find it, you think of it as your gateway to getting satisfied. Usually, with these chasing of losses, we just want to recover our losses and that's the main reason and there's no need for any closure because we always get back regardless of the result.

If you have no discipline you shouldn't be gambling. A lack of discipline plus access to a lot of funds is a recipe for disaster.
A few years ago a friend put some money on an NBA game which lost and he ended up chasing his losses. He lost $250k in a few days before finally giving up. Bet with your head, not your heart.

Chasing losses and finding closure are not different, they are the same thing. Assuming the gambler is looking for closure and he gets it and win some amount of money. He will later think that he can make all the money back and change his mind to look for the whole money. If he is lucky, he will also think of making profit after making all his money back. But be it chasing losses or finding closure, those are the best time to lose.

I think it's the same, but in a different language context, first you say that there is someone who wants to stop gambling but after winning the gambling returns, the second you say he will stop gambling but after the money spent can be won again.
The context is the same as "stop gambling" but here it has a different meaning in my opinion, namely the first one he will stop if he wins (although I doubt that statement because usually when he is still given a win he will continue to play, even though at other times), the second one shows that he will never finish gambling after what he has put out, I think it is quite dangerous in the context of gambling because it is impossible for that to happen unless the bookies give him a big enough win, but I am also not too sure he will stop gambling after a big win because I think he is addicted to gambling.

This is not what the OP is asking. Since it's an informal post, the author wasn't professional in it as there is no word "closure" in professional gambling, such might have meant a closing line. This is the almost-starting line of a new game, meaning that the author refers to concluding a bet pretty fast for him to start another one.

And this might be a good strategy for those that have tested and trusted it as better than tarrying much in some sort of bets.

Finding closure is like pursuing a happy ending after an unlucky gambling session. In order to have this happy ending gamblers keep chasing losses. Some gamblers fail to understand that it is not all every gambling period that  lead to wins. We must always accept the fact that some unlucky days leads to losses and we must work away after we have reached out gambling limit. Finding closure is like playing your last game after a bad gambling day. The outcome might be a win or a loss but regardless of the outcome the gambler will always decide to go. A win gives the gambler something to smile at, while a loss adds to the pains of the gambler.
.

No.

What the OP was asking is that if he is losing already, that can he still continue to gamble so that if he wins to certain level that he should then quit gambling for that time.

Let me quote the OP:


OP got the information from a post on Reddit. Let me quote it too:


Both posts are talking about a punter to continue to gamble more after losses. What is usually done by unprofessional punters and that is the time they can lose all their money.

To me everything amount to a chase in uncertainties because you can't predict what the outcome of what you're after may bring, if you think chasing after losses recovery will help you bring back the losses made by continuous attempts may bring nothing than a grid luck, the two as you have asked are different but it depends on the way the gambler apply it in his own situation, don't always believe that everything you read on the internet is always true.

Chasing defeat is quite impossible it will only add to the pressure and make the player even more stressed and can make him play without control. Playing normally is better than accepting every defeat and also responding to every win you get without having to be overly happy because in gambling it is possible to lose and it is also not impossible to win, it's just that often gambling ends up being a detrimental activity because players think can make money with only have small capital and are unable to stop even though they know that when they continue gambling it will not be good because they have experienced big losses, so stop when don't produce good results many times and forget about all the money that has been lost because of losing rather than chasing defeat.

Depends on what he plays. This happens most of the time at casino games. But when you are playing sports betting and just observing one game then there's always an end to it within the day. Like for example basketball.
There's no such thing as a whole day basketball because somehow the players would need some rest. So do the gambler, he will need to wait for when the league or match will start again. Will he chase losses on that next bet on the next day? Maybe? If he is jotting down all the money that he gambles.
At the end of the day, it will all rely on how disciplined you are at staying within one budget, and even at losses you will bet the same and not be greedy about doubling it just to cover the losses on the past bets.

No need for anything but just to follow what you need to do, stopping is the key in order not to suffer for more losses, if you continue to play in aiming that you need to win first before you will stop then the risk of getting more addicted can happen. Same with what you said, what if you keep winning while enjoying the game, instead of quitting while you still have that chance to recover your losses but decide to push for more wins, the outcome will be the same.

The chance to lose back all those winning money is not impossible, then what will you do next? try to play and wait again for another chance?

I don't see it that way, stop and move forward nothing more.

Yeah, most likely, but there are still other games that he can beat on after the season with basketball ends. Maybe he is also a fan of football or any other sports betting that it's going to be a year round bets for most of us.

And he could still be addicted to casino games like Slots wherein we always going to lose our money on it unless we really get lucky that night playing it. So there is no closure for this kind of gamblers, they will come back and chase those losses in my opinion.

I think in the back of our minds, regardless if it is sports betting or any other kind of games, we always look for get back at those loses, in short we love to chase it no matter what. The problem is that in game of luck, it's hard to do that, or at least to get break even once you start because of the house edge, the RTP and your luck. So the moment you go for a spin and lose, then there's no closure as you are going to continue to play until that capital is zero. Then rinse and repeat, you deposit and find excuses rinse and repeat. Until such time that you become addicted, so this is a very common problems with us gamblers.

Chasing looses is natural and normal, even a normal gambler (non addicted one) thinks the same when they lose some money. What makes them difference is about how they deal with it and how they try to do it. Chasing looses should be under control because there is a bigger chance to lose more while chasing loses and anyone should be ready for it. If the one who write it in reddit did not realize that he may lose more and more, he will never get good time for closure.

Finding for a closure is also a way of chasing your losses because you keep on playing for a hope that you can have a win before you stop playing. This might result to another loss and you’ll just lose the chance to cut your losses. Chasing seems to be a normal reaction of every gambler, and you can only avoid this if you are a discipline gambler, better to know your limit and always commit on that.

Closure does actually have the same idea or concept about chasing losses because you are trying to look with that break even scenario or situation on which you would tend to stop when you are already
into a situation on which you are already able to patch up those losses of yours which we know that in gambling which it cant really be just that simple or easy because we know that gambling is never been easy
and something risky if we do speak about odds and chances.This is why its never been good on having this kind of behavior or mindset towards it.
Never ever chase losses and just play for fun and dont go into a certain extent.

I don’t know that gambling has its own closure too. Because for me, the only time you’ll make a closure from gambling is when you finally decide to leave gambling for good. But if you are saying to chase bigger profits or to recover your previous losses, that is allowing yourself to lose more. If you really want to put an end to gambling, stop gambling and stay away from activities that will develop your interest in gambling again.

Apparently, if one gambler will keep on chasing his losses, he is not making a closure on it, instead he is gambling to lose more. That is the reality in gambling, the more you gamble, the higher chances you lose more. Although gambling is not all about losing, as some still find luck and gain huge profits, but in most cases, people gamble and gradually see themselves losing in the end. That’s why it’s still best to gamble responsibly, and gamble only an amount you can afford to lose.

It will be based on your own approach once you are there in the situation. For some people, it's easy to say that once they win huge like the amount involved is really decent, they will stop gambling now and use that money for better. The moment they now experience winning huge money, the original plan will be forgotten and they will continue to gamble more since in their mind, why stop if they are lucky?

You won't find any clarification here based on several responses since again, our approach will depend once we are now in the actual situation.

If you will stop or not once you win big, it's up to you to continue based on how far you can tolerate your temptation to gamble more.

It is never advisable for a gambler to continue chasing his losses because he can lose more. Rather than chasing his losses, he would rather stop gambling so he would not lose any more money and could reduce his emotions from the loss. Getting lucky is something that gamblers really look forward to but unfortunately, not many can get that luck, while other people can only get defeated. Yes, I agree to gamble responsibly so that we control how much money to gamble and how long we can gamble. That will protect all the money we deposit so that it doesn't run out on the same day we deposit the money.

I always consider that being thirsty for money is good motivator, okay, but its never good for health. If gambler solely focuses on his/her losses and covering them up, he will definitely keep losing more. I agree with you, you increase your chances to lose more. I understand people hate idea of losing money. Its definitely something very hurtful to your mentality as you sit on chair to win money. But people with better confidence should drive to closure.

There's no difference, most people finding closure when they're hit a big multipliers, casing looses is also similar where they're looking to hit a big multipliers that will help them to earn profit. It's better to setup a betting time e.g. a hour or two hours, after you've gamble for a hour or two hours, you need to stop to gamble regardless the result of your last bet. If you're not do this, you're not discipline about your gambling habit.

Not many gamblers want to stop after experiencing defeat, but all existing gamblers will continue to bet until their money runs out or their losses return.
But what happened was not a loss that could be recovered but a deeper loss.
There are many stories of gamblers experiencing ruin due to playing according to passion and emotion but unfortunately many gamblers ignore experiences like this and don't believe in them.
When gamblers see that there is a big chance of winning in front of them they cannot control themselves or finances so that there can be certain limits, so this is the biggest problem for gamblers

Exactly. Chasing losses are not the real way to have a closure because we're the one controlling ourselves and there's no need for such condition. Because you're just giving yourself a reason to continue playing for the thinking you need to accomplish this first (winning huge) before you'll quit.

Moreover, trying to recover your losses can only increase the amount that you already lost in gambling. Lucky if you win, but what if the worst happened. Can you bear seeing more losses just because you have to win first before stopping? I don't think so.

Well, though the outcome cannot be predicted, we all know that the house will have its edge most of the time, so chasing losses is basically not a productive way of getting your money back that is already lost. So the mindset of a gambler should be that any money lost in gambling is not recoverable, especially not by trying to chase them.

If luck is on your side, you won't need to chase anything as you won't lose much but win more which doesn't always happen but it happens once in a blue moon and we should enjoy that when it happens.

I think the main difference between them is that in finding closure once the gambler wins or successfully recovered his past losses he will never play gambling anymore. That is why it's called "close"-sure while for the chasing losses, there is a chance that the gambler will play gambling again because he is now aiming for pure profits this time but the situation can just repeat again when he fall off from major losses.

Chasing losses is like a never ending battle, much more if you have been jumping from one site to the other, so it's better if we won't just think about our past losses whenever we play gambling as that can only make us crazy.

That's true and also the sad part when you are trying to recover your losses  you will see yourself instead of recovering you are losing more and the adrenaline and the satisfaction in playing the game will increase the needs, you should stop if you wanted to stop and there's nothing to think or to consider just do it all at once.

In that way you will limit and avoid more damages from your finances and you will be able to quit and forget about this activity.

Definitely not; chasing losses will give you the drive to continue playing in order to got back with what have you lose while closure is simply enduring losses and accepting that it is not your 'day'. On my end, it would be much better to set limits and seek for closure whenever you are losing than to seek for revenge. Being to eager to got back will put you at risk for bigger loss. On the other hand, being disciplined won't be achieved in an instant. It is normal to be eager for a comeback given how an individual give importance for losses. It would be easy to say taking a pause would be advantageous but as long as the drive is still there, it is where struggle would start.

I think the percentage to cover the number of our losses in the past is a very small thing, in fact I would say it is something that probably won't happen. If we chase defeat in gambling then it's the same as inviting the next defeat.
Like this, for example we play gambling spending $ 1000 a month, when we win it is no more than we have spent, so we will continue to chase the rest we have spent at the beginning. Will it make our lost money back? it will not be able to guarantee this, in fact the most likely thing is that we will return to spending the money from our winnings earlier. So the more we chase to cover losses, the more we will lose.

IMO, this is like a double edged sword. On the one hand, we know very well, that if we chase losses, what will usually happen is getting even bigger losses. referring to the OP's thread, I have a feeling the OP is just trying to find a justification instead of finding closure. especially if I read from page one onwards, almost most of the community says the same thing. therefore I say, that it is like a double-edged sword. why, because, not infrequently we ourselves are often in a dilemma when we experience defeat during a gambling session. also, we often follow our emotional urge to re-deposit. whether it's for reasons of mere curiosity, or, getting a strong urge to chase losses by gambling again.

I'm pretty sure, almost all of us who are active in gambling are always faced with situations like this. Well, this problem is the most difficult part for gamblers. well, IMO, I prefer to prioritize and say "responsibility" than with the words "discipline". although basically the essence is the same, but the meaning will be different. by being responsible, at least we will have more self-control. Anyway, overall I agree with what you said.

To add to that,I would say people who play slots should come up with a plan already for example I have retained self discipline by applying this strategy,I play with the intention of getting the bonus round from 2-5 times at a maximum and if I hit something I keep playing but if I don't hit something during my session I immediately stop after achieving this number of bonus rounds.I keep choosing providers where the bonus round usually falls easily on the screen compared to other providers that you get the bonus round a bit rare compared to the ones I play and this way I keep myself entertained without risking to chase losses and becoming addicted.

But we know that if we do speak about closure then it would always ties up that kind of motive on which you would really be completely stopping if those things had been met like trying out to break even at least
or lessening the overall lost on which this would really be that a common behavior on this case.This is why i could say that there would be some similarities between two but overall it would really be just depending
on how someone would really be planning and sticking on what are those things into their minds.Each person does have their own level of control and discipline towards things which
we cant really be able to criticize on whats up their plans in regarding into their funds.

Never heard about closure, or what it means until now, I tried Googling what closure really mean, and from the answers I got, it clearly explains that, chasing losses and seeking closure are not the same thing..

Chasing losses is more like revenge gambling, trying in all forceful way to recover what have been lost, the result of this is anger, disappointments, anxiety, anxiousness, this could lead to more losses, which would eventually end in regrets and even more regrets..

On the other hand, to seek closure, in simple terms means accepting your loses, but keep gambling without any negative emotions attached - this is clearly different from chasing loses.

And if that's your reason to keep playing, you have to be prepared for big losses because that can happen. And when that happens, you shouldn't be angry or sad because that is the risk behind gambling, even if it's just a basketball or football match or something.

It is very difficult to recover lost losses unless your opposing team gives up and tries to hand over all the money from you in secret but that will not happen. Before we play gambling, we must determine how much our budget is for gambling so that we can take care of ourselves while playing gambling.

Attempts to return the lost will only aggravate the position of the gambler and he will leave even more of his money in the casino. It's like chasing a shadow: the more you lose, the more you want to return, and this gives rise to new losses. A vicious circle of player addiction from which it is almost impossible to break out on your own, if it has already come to this.

In gambling, you can't let your emotions take over. Either stick to the strategy and increase the deposit, or act thoughtlessly and drain the entire deposit. That guy's story on Reddit is a case in point.

Chasing losses show compulsiveness and being unable to control our emotions. I agree that it's like revenge gambling but there will be no guarantee of recovery or regaining our losses. It's like tryng to beat the house which is actually impossible to happen.
As for me, we couldn't find closure when we chase our losses. We are just attempting to recover our losses by chasing them but they will not satisfy us because they can only cause chaos in the end. In the first place, we should know how to manage our emotions and know our limits.

The differences clear and we should never as a gambler want to get our profits back before we call it a day. The way we gambler should have a limit or else we might become a victim of addiction without knowing how we because so addicted to gambling. We need to be very watchful always because as the process of we planning to find closure, we might end up losing more money along the case. I would always stick to my gambling risk management with a particular amount I can gambler on a particular day. Risk management is very important as a gambler with consciousness.

The most important thing as a  gambler on which you should really be that having that kind of approach that gambling should really be for fun and not for making income or making money because its never been

that recommendable on doing so because we do know on whats the risks involved.Dont chase up your losses because this would really be resulting into much deeper losses which is something that we dont really want to happen.This is why its really that recommendable that you should really know on when to stop and when to play or simply that calling it a day.
Further chasing would really lead into more problems.

Both chasing looses and finding closure are on the same page. When a gambler looses in his game he tends to gamble more with the intention to recover his looses with no gaurantee of winning, if he looses he will continue to gamble which leads to chasing looses. He may say to him self that when he wins he will not gamble again. This time he is finding closure that he is not certain about. Either ways, you are either chasing looses or finding closure.
At this point you are at the edge of loosing it all.
Conclusively, you are either chasing looses and finding closure.

Yeah right, it's almost the same since they are not in their right mind during that time and what they need is a fresh air for a moment instead of pushing their luck to the limit. Either way it's not really benefitting to them they just added more problem instead of minimizing their losses. People need to learn when to leave when it's not getting them anywhere especially on chasing losses which is not recommendable at all, so does the martingale strategy.

I actually call this the "gambler's cycle" where a person would gamble again in order to regain his losses.

When a person gambles and regardless of the outcome whether he wins or losses, the initial decision is for him/her to gamble again. He/she would want to gamble again in order to test his luck in the event if he wins. Furthermore, he would also attempt to gamble again if he losses in hopes of recovering the loss he just incurred, thereby creating a situation and an endless cycle where he would consistently gamble in the process.

This kind of cycle is potentially destructive and dangerous especially if you lack the necessary discipline to accept your losses as part of the gambling system. That is why if this happens, the person has to force himself to get out of such position (e.g. limiting the cash he brings, etc.) to break this cycle.

If you are a type of person whose really that impulsive when it comes to gambling then its better not to make yourself that getting involved with this kind of activity.You would definitely be losing up tons
of money along the way and if you arent that good on handling out your finances then you would be ending up on getting wrecked and would really be ending up on holding up for long time.This is
why it is really not that suggestable for those people who do have this kind of emotional impulsiveness because it would create that negative outcome if you dont have
the good control and discipline towards yourself.

I can say, we are all guilty of such feeling at one point. But it is right that if you can't contain yourself, you will lose in the process. You'll be in big trouble if you will continue chasin losses. If you are still into gambling, I don't think you can find closure with what you lost. That's a never-ending cycle if you want to keep up such kind of mindset.

That's how the cycle works in gambling so we need to correct each wrong decision we make upon playing since if we always bring up that attitude when playing well provably it will not end up good to us. We need to discipline ourselves towards like setting boundaries on what are the triggering scenarios we need to stop so that we can think about sticking on it and create some gameplan on gambling.

It is true. It may be difficult to keep away from it once it is done. Chasing losses had always been the main problem of any gambler, it's the ego that tells us that we must win no matter what and this is the reason why gambling businesses will just keep on piling up. They know the incoming money from this industry is a nonstop cycle too due to the fact that gamblers tend to like having their revenge once their losses are soaring.

There must be a game plan. A strategy. A budget. All of those will play a big role to keep one gambler's discipline intact. Bring only what you can afford to lose but with how accessible gambling platforms are today, it must be harder for them to keep the discipline. It's always open, there's no such thing as closing time.

They are not the same thing, it is true that for that person chasing their losses and getting closure are the same, but that does not mean that every single person out there thinks the same thing, most of the time getting closure for most gamblers is to come to accept that no matter what they do they cannot recover the money they have lost already, so as you can see for most gamblers those words mean absolutely the opposite of chasing their losses.

The word closure isn't a gambling term, but it is just an English word that basically means to close something, and what the guy on Reddit was referring to by using this word to end his gaming session with a winning bet or maybe after winning some of his lost money back, which is basically either chasing his losses or trying to win a lot of bets both of which aren't really things one should go after in gambling.

So basically he was just asking if he should do that and win some of his money back to have a good closure of his gambling session or just stop right there. So closure doesn't mean accepting your losses and keeping gambling but it means closing down or ending the gambling either by accepting your losses or being on the winning side.

And a good gambler have no problem if his ending gambling session is lost, while a gambler addict will chasing his losses until he make money, he doesn't care if he have gamble for 12 hours or using all of his money, he only want to make money.

It's really sick to see someone is really addicted to make money through gamble, he can't accept to learn new skill in order to increase or get a new job with better salary.

I don't know what closure he means, but it is very shallow, and I don't really understand if it is about closure because if you are chasing losses, it is about getting your money back, and there are no feelings involved with it, only emotions of greed. For me, no matter the reason, chasing losses can make you lose more, so it is better to prevent them, and for sure, those who will say any reason for chasing it is just an excuse for sure

Finding closure if you think about it is like finding opportunities to be able to cover all losses.
It's just that not many gamblers can have this opportunity even only those who are so lucky can get it.
Of course, chasing losses is really not recommended, especially if when chasing losses there is already emotion and greed that controls oneself, then in the end, losing more can easily occur.
It would be nice if the gambler experiences a loss, he can stop betting and then leave the casino for a while. This seems easy to talk about, but difficult to implement.

In gambling there will be wins and losses. But if someone loses again and again, a kind of reaction is born in him. He feels that he needs to recover his loss immediately but pursuing that loss recovery he has to lose everything. Those who can play with a break after losing or winning will have more winnings or can survive. Remember that luck is very important. Take a break in gambling is the key on days when you are repeatedly losing.

Indeed! valid point as there are always different approach and different perspectives in each individual and all are opinion based, we don't know or we can't push our own opinions with other people, especially those who thinks that they are doing it the right way, or the understanding and believe that they are in the right track.

It's an option that only gambler who can speak up with their own decision and with their actions.

In your opinion, what are the criteria for a good gambler, because, in gambling or betting, winning and losing is commonplace. and we as gamblers, must know very well that this one hobby, has risks contained in it. not only losing money, but can change our psychology, especially those that lead to addiction.
addiction has several criteria, some addicts, do not really care about the money they get from gambling sessions. I mean, whatever victory they get doesn't make them satisfied. even most of them, just want to fulfill a high desire to gamble. yes, the money they win, the beginning of the end will be at stake again.

To be honest, i don't get the essence of a good gambler. as far as I know, gamble within the limits we can afford, without having to harm other people. plus, always avoid always chasing losses. moreover, as the OP stated in this thread. finding closure, is only part of the justification of someone who really only wants to recover defeat.
By the way, whatever you say, there's nothing wrong with that.

Some gamblers' closure for the day is when all that's left in his pocket is a taxi fare. We can't really dictate the limit of someone's gambling pursuit when he is up to go big or go home. Sometimes a person wouldn't sleep on it to gamble another day. They just want to go big or go home with nothing and nothing for the next day.  ;D

I knew people whose into physical gambling that will only go home once they lost every penny they have, that will be the only time they will think to stop or when they can't borrow any money from someone they know that is also in the area. This attitude is normal to those who gambling physically but to those who gamble online it's easier to limit ourselves to avoid more losses since we can stop ourselves to deposit more money in casino, we can limit ourselves per game and only deposit money we allotted for gambling, it's either lose or win.

What happens is that when you are gambling at a physical casino you are subject to all kind of subtle techniques that the casino uses to make you to spend more, so before you know it you have lost all your money and you have no idea of how this could have happened, but when you are gambling online you are the one in control of your environment, and as such it is more difficult for online casinos to incite you to gamble with the same ease that a psychical casino can.

I think that's the worst thing any gambler can possibly do and most gamblers still do it no matter how hard they try to stop gambling when losing. If you intend to find closure by trying to gather your loses only God knows where thats gonna end you, you might end up losing your whole money so its better you just stop gamble when you are experiencing a losing spree because your emotions can also trigger you to loose more because at that moment you won't  be thinking straight so its better to close the gamble because chasing your loses can only result to one outcome which is more loses.

I say these two words are the same as never stop gambling.
chasing defeat and seeking closure are the same thing. in the end the gambler will lose continuously and get big wins that are not worth the loss after that the gambler will continue to bet increasing the bet amount to get back all his losses but that is something in vain and lose even more.

it will go on and on never finding closure and always chasing defeat.

I have a different opinion, I think it's easier to quit in physical gambling rather than online gambling because in physical gambling you're not entirely gambling, but you can also have fun with your friends and have a drink. In online gambling it's make you easy to deposit your money using any digital wallet fiat or crypto. Most of people who're gamble on online casino is to make money and no one will stop you to gamble.

There are also many people who like physical gambling, when they lose, they go to a friend's house or a loan shark, then pawn their assets and go back to gambling to continue the physical gambling. After all, all gambling is the same, whether online or physical, everything is almost the same and nothing is different. when people have started to become addicts, they will continue to play to return all the money that has been lost no matter what. it's a hard one to stop

Yes! Inside physical casinos there are many factors that will drive you to keep playing the game, even you are already in the winning side the atmosphere will keep you to keep rolling and to keep chasing for more luck, on then you realized once losing streaks will hit you back and you will find yourself empty-handed!

Same with you. Online casinos have a lesser chance of pushing you unless you are already addicted and the word limitation is no longer effective. Chances are that you will also burn all your savings by keeping depositing and losing with the game you play.

Chasing losses before quitting is like you want to feel satisfied that you somehow get back what you have lost before completely stop your gambling habit. But we know chasing your losses can cause further losses since winning is uncertain. So it's not a good idea if you really want to stop playing and move on.

Anyway, it's not easy to quit if you can't accept your past losses because chasing it doesn't mean you're seeking for closure. if you want to stop, you can self exclude yourself, if you want closure then go to a place where you can't access on internet to gamble online and far from friends that can attract you to play in physical casino.

Correct. And the accessibility is what keeps them on coming back over and over.
Just open your computer or smartphone with an internet connection, then voila, you could play nonstop without thinking about the business closing time.
That is why gambling responsibly advertisements had been scattered on social media and the internet these days. We are prone to being gambling addicts anytime because of the easy accessibility of our hobbies.
It's not like someone is forcing us to go back even if we already lost our funds, it's the mentality of getting revenge and chasing the losses that make us return to our seats, deposit, and gamble again.

I think "closure" are not the primary reason why people wants to chase losses...

There are a lot of gamblers out there that wants to win the house and they cannot take it that the house always wins. They think if they gambled say $50 000 over the period that they gambled at that casino and they suddenly win $20 000 ...that they won against the house.  ::)

It is very rare for people to win more money than what they wagered at the casino and 9 out of 10 times, those gamblers come back again and lose all that money again.  :P

Lol that's what gambling is called where gamblers will only deposit and lose money because the real winner is only the house.
Winning one or two but losing more than 10 times in gambling is common and felt by all gamblers without exception.
It's just that gamblers can minimize the number of losses by exercising financial self-control and greed because these three factors can easily destroy gamblers.
They experience defeat but are determined to come back to play because of curiosity and the existence of an addiction to gambling so that how much money they have lost does not make them give up and leave gambling.

Those gamblers that are doing this are so addicted to gambling that they can't control themselves anymore, which includes selling properties and getting into debt. This kind of person needs treatments from doctors and psychologists as they cannot cure themselves, as are his family. This needs support and attention. What's worse right now is that we can now gamble online, unlike before, when it was only in person, and that was known to gamblers. The effect of this is that people are becoming more addicted to gambling.

Gambling is a wild rollercoaster of emotions. One moment you're winning, the next you're losing. It's a complicated love-hate situation—you're aware it's not good, but it's too tempting to resist. It's a fun game of luck, but it can quickly become too much. Managing your money wisely is essential to dodge big losses, but emotions can sometimes take over. That's why it's important to never risk more than you can handle losing. As the adage goes, "when the fun stops, stop." Gambling can be an enjoyable pastime, but always be sure to gamble with care.

At some time cwd may grabe nd that the we need to learn to those losses because the and the government agency uses to not so good thing under  grand sentral Mall. let us to review these vdideo, and if totoo yan we need to learn and understand all so that we will as avoid  too much expenses and that app will be left in here.

Someone who is addicted to gambling to the extent that he sells assets or property just to gamble is very difficult to recover from, even doctors or psychologists will not be able to cure him.
If he can recover, he will not recover completely but rather forget about gambling and when in his daily life he still sees gambling activities he can easily return to gambling and become an addict again.
In overcoming gambling addiction, no one has been able to provide a settlement solution so that gambling addiction can be cured and gone from some people who have already become addicts.

That last statement is always the big mistake that most addictive gambler forgot, they push forward and keep trying to satisfy their lust to continue playing, they forget about caring with their health and finances as long as they are betting they think that they are really enjoying, unknowingly that when they should stop better to stop and not do anything against the situation to limit the possibility of moving forward and just comeback instead of stopping and moving away from gambling.

Gambling addiction must be treated as any other addiction, the first step is to realize that there is a problem, then talk about the problem and the last step is to work on a solution, but most of gambling addicts are chasing looses on the long road, and that never has a happy end.

Betting back to the topic, I don't think is the same, chasing losses is different, and the fact that someone says "I will be betting until win" is a risky move because bad streaks can be really bad and lead to a huge loss.

I don't think the two are the same. Maybe there is some more general meaning for the two phrases, but for me chasing losses means that you can't take a break from your current gambling session and want to gamble until you recover again. This is usually a very dangerous situation as we become only focused on the amount we need to win and don't focus anymore on the risk we are taking for it. In many cases chasing losses is going to lead to higher losses. Finding closure for me means to accepting your current position and finding a compromise. This could be for example to tell ourselves to quit after out next win, even if the whole session is a loss. The approach is much more rational as it accepts the loss we made, but at least let's us end on a win. It can also help to focus on our overall bankroll and to make sure that we can always come back to gamble another day.

The feeling on winning big can never be easy to remove.

That's what makes them coming back when they hit the first loss they think they could do the same thing just like the last time they win big and keep thinking about how this time going to be their last shot just to cover this loss back to a green profit one and then they promise to quit as the final game but most of the times it is not. Nothing can beat this but a professional help might be the answer.

Any gambler knows that gambling involves a casino advantage, so hoping to win back his past losses is the same as finding a needle in a haystack.

Everyone wants to win at gambling, but how many of us do? How often do we win enough to cover past losses? It seems to me that it happens very rarely. I think that those who gamble simply need to learn how to lose, because this is a very likely outcome of the game.

That's right, if you put big money to gamble with the aim of winning and want to return past losses in my opinion this is very impossible, you will not be able to catch up on something that has been lost in gambling.
When you gamble, it means you are ready to lose money, you must learn to be responsible for what you have done and get rid of the selfish feeling of wanting to return losses if you don't want to lose everything.
Gambling is just for fun not for income.

Trading is all about being very smart. There no way we want to mak money from gambling with making loses but there is way we can do it to make sure that everything is balance. Lose is normal in the gambling world but we should always try to make consistent profit as we keep making gambles. Of we have past loses and we want to get our money back, the best way is for us not to gamble with too much money at once. It is good for us to observe what we are doing even though what we are betting on has bigger chances of us making high profits from the market.

Once you win and several times even untold you lose :D

Every gambler always has the same problem and that is when they cannot control themselves while gambling, especially when winning or losing large amounts always occurs.
This is a condition that has existed until now, but on the other hand, when something like this is discussed, of course it will become something very common in gambling.
On the other hand, money management is important because in this case we also have to be aware of what our intentions are for gambling so there is no need to get carried away by emotions for something like that because this will only make you burn if you insert emotions into the game you created yourself.

No matter how the name is been twisted, it is definitely same thing.
And what if in the case of finding a closure, one never makes any win but rather makes continuous losses, would you still advice the gambler to keep seeking for closure or would you advice him to pause and have a rethink.
Gambling is a game for the strong hearted and one should always be ready for the unexpected as nothing is guaranteed in gambling not even the winnings or losses.
It has always been advice that people should use only the money they can afford to loss as this will help people acceot loss easily and not tend to chase after their losses.

I think you could say that. Because if it is an addiction, and you have no strategy to put a stop loss your assets, then it is more or less chasing a closure. And it is a very risky approach, because you will lose more in the process.
This is why we need to make a separate plan and savings only for gambling and have a proper plan on how much we are willing to lose or can afford to lose. Otherwise, it will be a path full of regrets.

Most gamblers attempting to find closure will make continuous losses until losing all their funds. It's important to advise a gambler to rethink about his game before he puts the idea of recovering the lost amount through finding closure, so we can prevent him from losing even more money in a worthless attempt of recovering money which has been already gone, due to seeing this terrible idea on a thread from Reddit, although I really don't think there is anyone unable to spot the difference between chasing losses and finding closure, because after all, it's quite obvious they express the same meaning on practice.

Winning in gambling is hard so chasing losses is hard too. It can be a never-ending journey for those who have a big losses but what if they get lucky one day and hit the jackpot which makes them recover all of their losses? I think some of them are committed to stop their gambling habit and use the money on something that can provide them with consistent income like opening up a business.

Getting big wins aside from losses are better than not getting anything at all. At least it might help us to progress faster. We should only control our selves and don't over bet next time because once we lose, it will only make our journey difficult to be finished.

But one of the aftermath of chasing losses is that, it leads to addiction, and trust me, even if your reason for chasing loses is to win the jackpot, then stop gambling and go into business or something, there is also the high chance that you might never win that jackpot, or before you eventually win the jackpot, the amount of money in the jackpot wont be up to the total amount of money you've spent on gambling altogether.

The one way I know we can have rest or peace of mind in gambling is never to depend on gambling for anything, if your reason for gambling is to win big money and start up a business, why not start that business with the little you have while you keep gambling by the side?
Waiting for the big win before you start a business is a prove of un-seriousness, and there is also a chance that that big win might never come when you want it, and if it doesn't, it simply means you never would go into that business.

Chasing losses will never give you a closure, but it will only make you lose more until you decide that gambling won’t give you some fortune and won’t definitely give you chances to chase your previous losses once more. So if you mean you’ll keep on chasing losses because you want to find closure from gambling, then it’s definitely not happening for all you know. If you want to put closure from gambling, then just stop gambling once and for all, and never try to gamble because you think you are lucky or you want to chase more of your losses.

The sad part is how gamblers have already dug a hole, and when they're at the bottom of it, they're in some ways wishing that they could just return to the starting point and get their money back - not even making a profit at that point. Unfortunately chasing losses like this is just going to leave you in a much worse position mentally, because you are throwing away good money after bad. The fact that you've lost so much money should be a clear indicator that the odds are not in your favor. There is often zero skill involved with almost every casino game that they offer, you are just handing money over in return for clicking a few buttons with some options that give you the illusion of control, or quirky side games to momentarily distract you.

and let's say, you got your winnings, do you think you will stop gambling? i don't think so. so you won't find your closure if you will not totally get out of gambling after such winnings. there's no closure as long as you are into gambling.
i don't know what others are thinking about the concept of finding closure in gambling. but you can truly find closure if you finally decide to forget gambling and move on with your life.

On the contrary, if we win then we might go and continue gambling because we feel lucky and maybe we are greedy and looking for more money. So I only thinking that it won't get closure to any gamblers and it might push them more to gambling.

Maybe this is just an excuse for us to continue playing? I don't know. But one thing's for sure, if we wanted to stop gambling and have it close, then we will jus simply stop. But that is the hardest thing to do that's why we heard a lot of excuses from gambling to go and continue to play, this this so called reasoning of "closure".

The guy is just looking for excuses to continue his gambling.  It is his statement to justify his action while others are seeing it as silly.  Anyway, it is the guy's money so we don't have any say on his matter.  Though we all know that chasing losses often ends up badly, let him experience it first hand, after all there are already lots of people reminding and telling him that he is doing it wrong.  ;D

There is no such thing as finding closure in gambling unless the person decided to quit gambling.  A gambler does not need to find closure, he must provide and decide for it himself.  Because if he looks for it on his gameplay, he will never find it anyway, he will keep on gambling until he is broke.

I think is same as chasing loose. Well if you must know gambling is not a game to get rich so quickly because those who ended up taking it as means of getting have lost all their life properties in other t gamble. To me gambling is a game to ease one stress and thinking, along the line you may wish to bet with little amount then fine but taking as an occupation or even chasing a closure makes it look like chasing lose.

It could be an excuse, using to justify his continuance on gambling in spite of the losses he has had to face. But I would also like to point out that there are several ways someone would find to quit gambling for good or for long periods of times: family, religion, time...

The important thing about all this conversation is that it is better to "find closure" by ourselves than letting the circumstances to start to decide what we do with our lives and what to do with our time/money. So it is better to know when to stop than letting our empty pockets to stop us when it is already too late.

The way that guys stated why he keeps on gambling has no different from chasing losses.  First the reason why he is finding closure is because he aim to win to recover the amount he spent on gambling.  For sure he won't quit until he bleed enough or had recover his losses.  But after recovering his losses, there is a clear indication that he will continue to gamble after a short time break.  Thus the cycle repeats and he will continue to gamble.  If he wanted to stop gambling, there is no need for a condition.  He can just quit and forget all the losses he suffered playing on the gambling platform.

Chasing losses or finding closure is really just the same on the sense on which you are really that trying out to break even or really tending to quit or stop when you are in green which means that you've been molded up
by that greed but not all the time because when it comes to closure then we do really know that it isnt really that not all people will really be on the situation or condition of being desperate.They are really just
trying to stop on the time that they do see it to be that good and if they do lose even further then they could easily quit up but of course it would really be according or depending into your self control.
We know that each person does have different level control and emotion when it comes to various things which we cant really be able to point out.

Maybe he just to excuse himself from the fact that he's already addicted. People find ways to keep on going and create reasons that will justify what they've been doing in their favor in an understandable way like asking for others' approval that they're just doing it correctly and nothing wrong with it. If you want closure when you gamble, you will have not to make any agreement or such because you just want to stop. But if you want to chase your losses whether with reasons or none, you'll keep on chasing it.

It's also quite subjective since once we are in that situation, we will have our reason why we should continue or not.

OP needs some clarification not knowing that the answer relies on us.

Maybe OP needs to test it on actual. Go on gambling and if lose, decide if will chase the loss or stop gambling, or just take a break.

Once you are addicted it is hard to find closure unless you get help which is a sketchy situation if no one is there to guide you and gambling online can create that unfortunate situation. Unless you set a monthly budget, you would probably end up loosing everything.

Just telling that it is a closure for sure he got addicted to gambling it is just his reasons so that bo one can stop him. Mindset of addicted to gambling is very difficult they already have all the reason to play and not to stop you . No   matter if you have a monthly budget or not addiction is really addiction and it needed to be cured and seek help for professional as it might go worse

Besides that, gambling is an activity that carries a very large risk of addiction, risk of loss, even the risk of being mentally and physically disturbed because of a high emotional feeling when you experience a big defeat.
And why is a gambler not advised to expect too much from gambling wins and profits because in gambling a gambler will only get 2 things that are certain, namely defeat and loss.
There are several important aspects that must be prioritized and become an obligation for every individual gambler so as not to lose even more.
- Self-control.
- Financial management.
- Avoiding greed.
- Have the mainside of gambling just for fun.
If these 4 aspects can be carried out, gamblers can play calmly and comfortably without fear of big losses.

The majority will be in chasing mode but yeah, it's good to try it on his own to know if that's going to be a chase for him or he can have his closure without having such.
But needless to say, when we just keep on losing and there's no need to gamble anymore within that period of time and you just keep on dwelling losses, you just need to take some rest.
Forget all of those losses you've incurred within that day and just leave it there. You can't recover that quickly in a day or else you'll lose more than what you've got put as your allocated budget within that day.

Both can be regarded as same since at the cause of chasing loss trying to make a closure, you are still liable to loosing the more, gambling is not the kind of event whereby you predict the exact scenario of what's going to happen, it takes risk to gamble and the most surprising of it all is that you have to accept the fact that you will always make looses when gambling since it's not an investment whereby you must make profits.

Absolutely correct,
It requires technicality to gamble otherwise one might fall prey in the name of making closure. Gambling is for those with a strong heart that doesn't panic over their little lose but can confidently be doing it with or without the mindset of making a closure. Literally you just have the fate that you could succeed in a day by getting a big win.

It's even more dangerous than some other addictions, but you are right that it needs to be taken care of before things get out of hand because the more one gambles the deeper one dive into it, and as you said, they don't get out at the other end happily. Gambling addiction ruins lives, and we've seen it and usually see it around us all the time.

People need to learn from the existing examples of those people who ruined their lives by only trying to recover their losses which kept causing them more losses until they gambled away everything they had. They realize it sometimes but only when everything is gone, which is a very late realization.

The key on here is that you shouldnt really be that making yourself chasing up wins in the first place because if you do stick out into this kind of idea, then you would definitely be keeping on chasing it up until you do
able to hit it but we do know that in gambling, odds and chances is always against us on where there's no way that we could be able to win up for long term unless in some various circumstances on which luck
do really sits up on your side then thats the time you would really be winning but only a few would be able to experience it out.This is why its important that you should mind that gambling
is for fun and entertainment nothingless.

If you focus on everything just for fun, then everything will go smoother, nothing to worry as you can move forward and allow yourself to continue being entertained. I'm on the side where there're times that you'll going to forget about how you set your goals and play with the adrenaline inside you.

Things that may affect your mindset and push you to lose what you can't afford to let go and you'll again start to chase those losses to recover back instead of quitting all along.

And the worst thing that can happen to any gambler is to keep on gambling after losing funds hoping to recover by doubling his stake, because in most cases that is a very big risk as things might not always go as planned,  as the gambler might instead of winning, lose more funds, and that's why in such a scenario the best advice will be for such gambler to stop for the day, go home and rest, as in gambling luck has been known to be a major factor why most gamblers win a bet.

Yes, I understand that and I will never do it because it will only make me fall even deeper when I lose.
That's why I say set boundaries and control finances.
Even more so if withdrawing the winning money so that it doesn't disappear again is an action that must be taken.

Yes, friends, we must stay calm when gambling and fight emotional feelings and greed so that we don't control ourselves, which will actually make us lose or lose even more.
By always having the thought or goal that gambling is just for fun, we will avoid all bad thoughts that mislead our self-control.
Always try hard, don't give up when you lose and win wild results that previously made you lose a nominal amount. :D

Technically speaking, it's still considered as chasing winnings because of several losses you encountered in a row. The moment you decide to postpone quitting because you want to get even or at the very least to redeem yourself, then you are chasing the chances. While it is not really bad to do this, this poses a high risk because you will never know when will you win again. Since gambling is based on skills, knowledge, and luck, it will be hard to determine whether you will win the next time you play or make a bet. Hence, it's not really worth it because you might end up repeating in cycles and being thrown in a deeper pit of doom.

Only a greedy fellow would go after chasing loose than taking it for fun because gambling is a game of fun. In as much you wanna try to make effort of winning should be reduced to be able to concentrate because whenever you focused more on winning you ends up making more loose at the end would still results in chasing closures.

People think chasing losses will only increase their frustration because they will have difficulty recovering their losses.
If they keep thinking like that every time they gamble, they will never be able to enjoy gambling as entertainment but as a place to make money, even though they often lose.
They can win if they can get lucky because a win will come along with luck.
Better to make gambling a place for fun and nothing more so we don't think about trying to win.

Chasing our losses isn't a key to recovery and this is the common mistake of most gamblers. It is actually the reason why many gamblers are losing their funds to the extent that they are even losing their assets. Accepting losses and knowing when to stop is the proper closure that we need. We can't always win against the house if that is our goal. Gambling results still rely on luck so we should not see it as a shortcut to getting rich.

In fact it is not as easy as we say, because if you are a gambler. the urge to chase losses will always be there, including for those who think gambling is just part of the fun. in fact I could say, that this is not the part of a greedy person. but more on the stimulation of dopamine produced by our brains. Many gamblers always try to chase losses, instead of finding closure. actually the same, after all what we do is to recover defeat.

Well, the idea of ​​considering gambling part of the fun is a very good concept. it's just that, in practice, sometimes we often get out of control or you could say it's too preoccupied that it's difficult for us to control ourselves. so, to make the idea of ​​having fun work, responsibility is also required. even then, it's not easy. but in essence, yes, as we agreed. make gambling only part of the fun or just a hobby without always having to chase victory, or vice versa.

I think there are people who took it as an occupation which they are constantly making earnings from it. Like my locality I have seen someone who specializes in gambling and he is doing well today, leaving large and driving all forms of expensive cars today which came through gambling. Sometimes I came to think of how he does it to this far with gambling, maybe is there anything else he is doing others don't do?

If you want to earn a living from it you have to pay some sacrifices in other for you to be there like him or she, what you must understand with whatever that brings food to any man's table requires lot dedication and focused for you to be there. Take it or you leave it, that person you said have developed his time and energy doing research about the matches he is to bet before anyone, you can't just wake up a day and expect to make a good living from gambling so sit down and do your findings for you to enjoy gambling the more.

Chasing loss is an obsession with money that you once had and is gone and you are fighting it back to overcome the forces of gambling and it doesn't work that way, sometimes you lose to win another game, the casinos that lose tons of money to the player, you think they don't get hurt as the players withdraw big money from their platform, they do and that is how gambling naturally exist.

Some players have their beliefs and they trust their skills, even if things don't go well the way they plan, they will continue to play, they can play high risk bets and never give up because they believe they will get more than what they have lost any day they win from the outcome because high risk game can change life for good when you win but that is not the best strategy for a gambler.

And being overconfident is also like a double edged sword that can hit you. Yes, there are experienced and exceptional gamblers but they can still experience these losses and their ego is being hit by that.

The moment that they lose control and trying to justify that they need some closure because it doesn't happen to them at most times, that's just another way to say that you won't be done until you chase your losses.

there are few people who accept defeats and losses, for example when a person is very proud and hates to lose and that person goes to a casino to play poker, that person starts to lose, that person will hardly stop playing because he feels that he is being humiliated , they are destroying his pride, and he still believes that in the next game he can reverse all defeats, the game is not just about the money he lost, for that person to win will mean returning his pride, the only way to make it stop to play will be when he runs out of money and they remove him from the table, but even when that person leaves the table, he will continue thinking about defeat and with that thought tormenting him

this person will sell things or borrow money to play again, he will play again because he believes that when he wins he will be able to get his pride back, some people act like that while other people want to get high profits fast, that's why every day is playing, whenever they lose they believe they need to continue playing because the next day they will win a lot, the damage that gambling has created in some people's lives is something very serious and worrying about addiction to gambling, it destroys the whole family . I see in my country many people playing without a controller, I have no doubt that I am dealing with gambling addicts

This is why with even the experience that many gamblers brag that they have, they still make loses which make everyone that is a gambler to be doing that under guesses and luck. Luck can make it looks like we are very experience and we know what we are doing as a gambler. Gambling requires so many skills but we have to know that we are humans and we are liable to make mistake whether we know or not. There is way things use to tell on gamblers to know that even with all our confidence we can still make great loses no matter who we are.

Indeed. We know there are games that skills and knowledge can maximize the chances to win, but still, luck is an important factor in gambling. You can't decide for the outcome of your bet because it depends on how lucky you are since you can't control the gameplay.

As a gambler, I had many losses than winnings but my way to move on and never look back for what I lost already is acceptance. Chasing losses can only put you into hard situation because of possible more losses. So if you want to stop it would be better to never look back so you can move on.

Sports betting is one of those games that you can maximize your percentage of winning if you have the skills, knowledge, and strategy the time you decide to make a bet. Information is crucial and vital if you want to engage in sports betting and other types of gambling games that needs critical thinking to win. Otherwise, you'll just end up losing money, patience, and sanity if you will impulsively bet then suffer continuous failed bets in a row.

Acceptance is indeed everytime you lose. If you won't accept the fact that you lose, then you might end up repeating your same mistakes in cycles because of being in denial which won't really help and will instead burn you out and might leave you broke and depressed.

We will not know when luck will come, so we keep trying it by playing more bets. But when luck comes, we will win a lot or a little, making us want to win again. But unfortunately, it's not easy to get because once we get lucky, it doesn't guarantee that luck will stay with us. And that's why we can't play gambling for too long because it doesn't guarantee that luck will come to us. We just need to play as usual and not chase victory if we don't want to experience a big defeat.

Yes, that's for real.

And how much more for those people that haven't gambled for a long time. They've got fresh feelings in gambling and when they make mistakes and losses, that's giving them the wrong notion in gambling that they should chase it until they take back.

It's unlikely when that just happened all of a sudden, that's why you said it correctly in the latter that we'll make a lot of losses, whether you're new, experienced or not.

Let's be honest. It's hard to ignore the wins and winning a profit is the main reason on why we play gambling. Now that we are aware of it, the only thing that we can do is to set a limitation on our playtime or on the capital that we are using. Maybe there are truly gamblers who only gambles for fun but I bet the percentage of them are only a few.

I still like to congratulate them because having such kind of mindset is now getting rarer these days. Gambling is a business so yeah, the casino always make sure to have the advantage but we can adjust the odds in a much realistic level in order to have more chances of winning. There is also skill based games. If we are skillful enough, we will have a higher chance to win on them.

Different gamblers got different perspectives in terms of desire and whatever they are aiming when playing, I see your point in terms of having good skills, there are games / sports that you are good in analysing you can use it as an advantage when playing/betting though in how OP see things I'm not sure you can find closure when you are still in the point of gaining or you are still in the positive side.

It's tough to quit when you feel that you have all the luck behind. You will push for more and you will want to gain more.

But the end point, just like what you said, it's a business and most advantage are always beside the house.

There are only two consequences when you get involved in gambling, win or lose? that is why it is not recommended to gamble if one cannot control, there is no term for chasing defeat before achieving victory, because gambling will always be faced with these two things. So what causes people to continue gambling even though they experience defeat due to addiction and loss of common sense as a measure to control.

There is a saying I heard from a former Casino owner "If you want to get rich at gambling, then be a dealer and a casino owner". Since there is no real wealth for the gambler, you will be made to live even more miserable if you get out of control.

I don't know what difference you're looking for as the answer's literally laid in front of your eyes but I'll humor you on your topic.

There's a lot of difference and benefits to finding closure when you're gambling. For one, it allows you to isolate and mitigate any losses you incurred by making sure you're not gonna take any more losses. This doesn't happen when you chase wins because let's face it, you'll lose more than you will win except if you're really lucky or you know the game you're playing at a fundamental level, but that doesn't happen every day let's face it.
Besides this, there's also the idea of ensuring that you're not succumbing to gambling addiction, as one of the telltale symptoms/gateway factors of gambling addiction is when someone starts chasing losses incessantly. Once you find yourself chasing losses you should start reconsidering your life choices coz you just might fall deeper into the addiction rabbit hole.

But I think that no matter how strong we might think that we are, no matter how little our loss might be, we might at some point feel bad that we made such loss and most times in one way or the other, when we place our bets, do so with the hopes of recovering our losses and from the look of things, it seems so similar to chasing our losses which isn't supposed to be so.

Most times I've come to realize that most of this persons who chase after their losses don't really do so intentionally but rather they do so in quest to cover up their gambling capital and that's as a result of using money one can't afford to loss.

Yo, I feel you, it's like that saying, "no risks, no rewards," right? Yeah, gambling's got its downsides and can hook you, but life's a gamble too. We all risk it every day, stepping outta bed and facing the world. But gamblers? They go big for that potentially huge payoff. Can you blame 'em? That winning high, man, it's like you're king of the world, with everybody else gazing up, mad impressed.

Sure, there's a shadowy aspect to it all as well. It's too much for some people, and they wind up gambling away their life savings. Realize your capabilities and perform within them. But if you can maintain your cool, gambling can be a thrilling and lucrative experience.

That simply mean one thing, there is no actual closure that's going to happen, because chasing all your losses in gambling is close to impossible to achieve. Not unless if you have calculated all your accumulated losses and then put a single bet for the total amount that you lose  since day 1. Nobody would do that btw, as the risk are a hundred folds than betting at your normal range.
So, when someone wants closure, it's not necessary to chase those losses.

^Definitely right and I agree with you.
Chasing losses in gambling is a risky and often futile behavior that can lead to further losses and negative outcomes. It is not a reliable way to achieve closure or regain a sense of control over one's gambling behavior because there is a big difference between chasing losses and finding closure in gambling.
Besides, finding closure in gambling involves accepting losses as part of the experience and moving on from them. This may involve setting limits on one's gambling behavior, seeking support from friends or family, or seeking professionals will help you much better.

Closure is something that would really pertain about trying to break even with your losses and totally quit up but most likely the people who had been planning throughout with this kind of approach is that they do able to

commit out the other way around on which they do lost up even more just because they've been going after on that closure which does pertains to stopping out but ending up on completely devastated because they do
lost up even more amounts which means that chasing would really be ending up on eternity or into the time that you do still play gambling on which you would really be having this
kind of motive and mindset every now and then.

Never chase losses, call a budget and stick to it.  If you use the budget up, return another day with a new attitude towards the game you are far more likely to win then chasing while hurting over your prior games.  You are owed nothing for prior losses, its bad attitude imo

Physical casinos use techniques similar to what you can find at a supermarket, basically the whole building is arranged in such a way this will make easier for people to gamble more than what they would have planned at the beginning of their evening, and when you add alcohol to the mix and its effects then we can see very easily how gamblers which prefer physical casinos have a higher chance than those which gamble online of losing a lot of money and eventually to begin chasing their losses.

I agree.
It may be difficult to do but when you get used to it, it becomes a discipline. Before, I find it hard to just let go of all my losses for a day especially when you are playing games like dice, slots, and Plinko. You just want to take that one last bet and see if you will get lucky for the last time but that always doesn't end up good. Because once you lose, you will tell yourself you will take another last shot until your wallet is depleted.
Bad attitude and that's not how we make profits in gambling. We should be wiser than that or else we will be like milking cows of these online casinos.

Gambler only fooling Himself if he pretends to be looking for closure because the truth is? there is no such thing instead it is a chasing of previous losses and that made them stays longer in table and even uses all their funds to gain what they losses and how much more they wanna earn.

It's easy to say it out loud but it's very difficult to practicalize it. It's not as easy as you say it, to actually quit when you are gambling and you have experience a big loss is very hard. Your losses can really get to you and emotions during that period can frustrate you if you continue playing because all what will be in your mind is to get back your actual money used in playing the game not even the extra profits again. Gambling is fun but really disruptive when you always go for your losses so take the game as a win or loss situation, any of this two options that played out for when gambling should be embraced with good faith.

Gambling is not for people with pride, because it is not possible to not lose in gambling at all, and if that hurts their ego and they take an oath that they won't stop until they win back every penny, that will be the point from where their life will probably start getting imbalanced, and eventually, they will ruin themselves just because of their pride and ego.

Only patient people can gamble without bearing any life-changing losses since they can make up their minds to accept the losses and not chase them because they have strong control over their emotions.

Most people forget if gambling is just for fun and make money is just a bonus, that's why people fall become an addict and trying hard to recover all of their losses. People are stupid for believing gambling streamers can make easy profit through gambling, since gambling is just need to spins and nothing else, it make they think gambling is really easy to make money. I'm not surprised because nowadays people are really lazy.

Maybe in some cases something like this could happen but it's only for a high level of luck and it can't be achieved by everyone.
On the other hand, on average nothing is certain about this and we must be aware that the hope of ending gambling in the hope of returning the loss is an act of desperation and obviously it is very reckless. because it's vuka. the profit you get is just an even bigger disaster because indirectly gambling in conditions like this has the greatest probability of losing.

They still dream of getting money from gambling, which keeps them gambling.
Had they realized it would not make them rich, they would have given up gambling and looked for other ways to make money.
And if they can't stop after losing and keep playing and depositing more money, they will still lose even though they can win.
And it's better never to try to chase losses because it will only make you lose more money.

We all know how addicted gambler can't resist the lust of playing, though in this scenario a gambler who wanted to quit and stop should not find any closure because of the chance that once he wins again, he will keep trying to duplicate it more, if you decided to quit just go on and make it happen don't look back and try it for another chance hoping that you will be able to recover and win back those losses.

it's always easy to say that it would be the last time then you will quit after, but when the enjoying part takes place you will start all over again, that's for sure mostly happened.

Those who gamble with no control over their emotions are destined to lose more, I say more because those who have control over their emotions also lose but not to the extent of those with no control. So, every gambler needs to keep this one thing in their mind when they are about to gamble, never get angry or over-emotional as that will only cause you more losses.

People usually chase their losses when they start to get a bit angry from their losses and want to get their money back from the house, but they are so naïve to ignore the fact that the house never loses in the long run.

People doing the martingale strategy when it comes to their losses this makes them an all in risk if they will make a good win they cope  up those losses but if not they must need to make another double up their wages just to cater those losses, thats seems like they are chasing all of those losses came from their game, for me better to stick with the gambling activity or plan so theres no problem with the path you are taking in playing gambling, its the casino's part to give entertainment and depends on the players decision how manage those risk managements.
