Ahh yes that's true and is a fact experienced by many gamblers especially those who are addicted, when they win they continue to advance because of greed, usually when the game is going very well then you will continue to increase your winning target and finally when suddenly the game goes bad then emotions arise and yes you lose control and lose everything, that's what addicts do, when they win they are greedy and when they lose they are curious and keep trying again, in most cases usually the session always ends with a big loss.

If consistency is the key to success in gambling then why do those who are addicted lose more often than win? In any type of game including sports betting the results are not much like that especially in the type of casino game, I understand that losing in sports betting can be used as a lesson to be more careful the next time in making decisions so that the chances of winning are greater but isn't losing due to mistakes that are accidentally made by the team you choose is still possible to happen? Of course, this is the reason why I disagree that consistency is the key to success.

As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher, and this applies to everything we do. There's nothing wrong with making mistakes. What's wrong is repeating the same mistakes over and over again. However, we don't need to make such mistakes because there are so many other people's experiences that we can learn from, as you mentioned above.
However, in gambling, it's strange that the same mistakes often happen again, such as chasing losses or other things. I believe the main factor is because the goal of winning and losing is money.

First, what works for you may not work for someone else. Second, not everyone has the same timeline for achieving success in anything because everyone has different personalities, attitudes, and traits that can speed up or slow down the learning process.

Sharing strategies isn't impossible for successful traders, but not everyone can emulate them correctly. I've previously tried a strategy from a fairly successful trader, but it failed for me, and it worked for that trader.

Both can end very badly although the consequences are different but ultimately can ruin lives.
Therefore this is the reason why it is very important for us to first consider from various sides before we engage in an activity, trying is okay but don't overdo it, there are so many people's suffering that we can learn from, this is where boundaries and control play a very important role, so honestly I myself always try to maintain awareness when gambling.

Of course I have, even often experience that in gambling usually when there is a winning streak then there must be a losing streak too, even defeat is much more common than victory and all gamblers must also realize that, but fortunately I always gamble with the amount of money I can lose, so I don't think too much about how much I lose and I also don't think too much about winning because for me it's nothing more than a bonus, I only play when I'm really bored, I always try to maintain my awareness so that my gambling activities remain under control.

Responsible gambling is possible to achieve, but it is true that very few of the gamblers can gamble with the right approach and also without exceeding the limits, most of them always go overboard, even to the point of using money for other interests in life or to borrow money, only one actually makes it difficult for someone to be responsible is because from the beginning they have the intention and purpose to make money.

In addition, misunderstanding is also one of the causes, in any case when you are involved based on a wrong understanding then surely your expectations and the way you manage your mind will also be wrong.

I don't think I see anything strange about your experience, OP gambling is about two things, winning and losing, I also understand what you mean that gambling more often makes us lose because the percentage of losses is much higher than wins, but that doesn't mean you will always lose, if for example you manage to get a win it means that luck is on your side, and all gamblers also experience the same thing, sometimes winning and sometimes losing, so there is nothing strange about what you experienced.

It is certain that those who trade excessively are those who do not understand what trading is really about, usually they are amateur traders who come with the wrong mindset, and also usually they are traders who have a get-rich-quick motivation in trading and that is what makes them have the wrong approach.
You are right that most of the time they will be filled with emotions because of the responsibility that is difficult to apply when they come with the wrong approach, recognizing the condition of themselves before starting to trade is important but it depends on their understanding too.

In the end it comes back to how we understand and approach gambling, because if we understand it correctly then surely we can also define gambling realistically and from there we can see whether gambling is worthy of entertainment or not.
I also agree with your opinion that entertainment is when we only deposit a small amount or an amount that does not exceed our limits, most of those who cannot be responsible are gamblers who define gambling in the wrong way.

In my gambling environment one of the reasons why people like that often tell their big losses is usually because they don't want people, especially some of their gambling friends to think that they have managed to get a win, because in my gambling environment when you win and then you don't give a share to your fellow gamblers then usually they will criticize you as a stingy person, this is the reason why some of my friends often lie that they have lost big, like a fight of fate hha.

I also don't know why there are some gamblers who always want to ask for a share from the winners and criticize if we don't give it but certainly in my place it seems to have become a tradition between gamblers, on the other hand you are also right that when a gambler is addicted then they will feel something is missing when not gambling.

It depends, bragging or stories about their loss experience is not necessarily a sign that they are addicted, basically there are always some people who like to joke and it could be that all their stories about big losses are lies, but if for example their stories are true about big losses then yes they can also fall into the category of addicts.

One of the convincing signs of addiction in my opinion is when they can't ignore any time without gambling, meaning they always want to gamble regardless of the results and of course winning is a priority for them.

Yes I am also sometimes a bit confused by such perspectives, but actually gambling can be fun when we focus on the process because I also feel it myself that the sensation of the game can really increase dopamine levels in the brain but the fun in gambling is likely to be felt only by responsible gamblers, although it is true that they lose money but if from the beginning they are aware of the risks then losing money should not change their point of view to be bad at gambling.

For me a real gambler is when they can control their gambling activities, meaning only gambling with a little money, not making winning a top priority, the point is that knows about how to treat gambling properly and correctly, because if for example you are a real gambler then you should know and be able to distinguish about what is good and what is bad that should be avoided, real gamblers are those who can control gambling and not those who are controlled by gambling, it should be like that.

Yes, most of us already know it, and even realize that in the long run it is the casino that will benefit and not us, because gambling is built with a much higher percentage rate of defeat than victory, and we have also proven it ourselves that most of the time defeat is more common than victory, but often this awareness does not become a reference to change the approach for the better.

Obviously I have, I can even say that it often happens, for example when I play slots with a deposit of $10 then my money grows to $20 and slowly goes back down because the game suddenly goes very badly then it is not uncommon for me to withdraw the same amount as my initial deposit, haha silly isn't it, in that situation I think that it is much better not to lose a penny and stop playing, but sometimes I also don't care about the results because what I want to get is the thrill of the process.

Good approach, sometimes I also do the same thing as you which is to stop at the first defeat, it's a kind of signal or sign, although it doesn't mean it's impossible to get a win if we continue the game, but the problem is what if it turns out to lose again? That's what I think, so if I prefer to prevent rather than cure, because recovering from the pain of a big defeat is not easy.
