Is there any valid reason to continue gambling?

[BeGoods]

While betting in a horse race and watching how the horse I bet wins the race I got an adrenalin rush something that I want to be repeated several times and that's how I got hooked to horse betting first is the adrenalin rush second is the chance to win money but I always prefer the rush.

You are hooked with that kind of sensation and that's your reason to continue gambling. It's quite different from the other reasons of making or recovering the losses, you're all in for the sensation.

Gambling for experiencing the adrenaline rush in long term is also a bad thing,if we are in need of those for too long which literally means we are addicted to it without our knowledge.Only gamble for limited time and have fund with betting and also watching the games don't get attracted too much towards money making.

I don't care what reason you take to gamble, it's up to you. the most important and my advice is that you prepare with all the risks,
allocate special funds that are in accordance with you can afford to lose, then whatever the reason, will remain valid

[jakelyson]

There is a valid reason, if you do change your mindset within gambling then I think you'll still play even if you lose, if back then your mindset is to win win win, get rich, become a millionaire because of gambling then you should change that especially if you are losing back to back, instead of getting rich into something that is 1% possible of happening then why not just play for fun and enjoy the good and bad times, don't get swallowed by your ego telling you to do this and that, it's simply wrong.

Sometimes you cannot change a gambler's mindset. Most of us are there to get more money easily but it does not happen. What makes most stay, this is what I believe most stay still gambling is because of sunk cost fallacy. They believe since they've already given so much why not continue.

I can agree and that's the right thing to do, a change of mindset is necessary to have fun in gambling, than experience pressure.
Money is important to everyone, so we have to be careful with handling it, we like to win big, then we take the risk in gambling, but should remain responsible.

As you explain it is absolutely right, but unfortunately, only 1% gamblers out of 100% do follow it. Actually it is not hard to act upon on it, but matter is, we are human being and we are greedy by nature then whenever we see money suddenly we forget the rules and discipline and do it whatever to get money and in gambling it has more chances.

There will be a valid reason if you're winning more than your bet or if you're gaining more than the capital that you're spending. You should gain something from it. The only time where you have to stops is when you are getting addicted to it and betting too much than what you have yet gained nothing in return.

I don't think of that reason because it's already given that a person who is winning will certainly continue to gamble.
Let's face the reality that most of us are not winning in gambling, yet we are still gambling, what should be the reason then? for me, it's the entertainment.

The person that can change the gambler's mindset will be that person itself, not other people. If they still want to play gambling, we could not stop him from gambling games. Every gambler might have their reason and some of them will not tells what their reason to come back to the gambling places is. Maybe it's because they think that the luck will happen tomorrow so they should try again tomorrow.

No this is not the reality but the reality is, it is gambling and one will have to lose or the other will surely win, so both the player should work hard, they should play well so that the good one will win at the end, so I continue gambling because it gives me benefit and I can make my life really good because of gambling, I can work well with gambling it is giving me huge profit.

It is nice to see someone has winning series of betting in the gambling world. I personally lose my balance due to my own mistakes and emotional control is not my cup of tea, honestly. Last year I lost more than 2 BTC in 5 games due to my greediness.

Did you loose all 2btc in one gambling session ?  Or that is your estimated loss over the year ? Winning streak is also impossible but the guy above must be lucky enough because i see that his life was drastically improve due to gambling .  that might be a valid for him to continue playing but for us that keeps on loosing and rarely experience to won , i guess the only valid reason to continue playing is for having some fun or to treat gambling as an entertaining activity   .

[Coin-Desk]

Yeah, there is a reason to continue gambling. Gambling can be played in two ways. One is for fun and the second is to earn money. If gambling is to play for fun, then it can be continued or stopped at any time by its own will. But if gambling is a game for earning money, then it can not be stopped at any time. Because in gambling many times a lot of money gets lost. Then to continue to gamble to recover that money. But many times that money can not be recovered. So I think this is the reason to continue the gambling.

Thank you

Well that's it.

But the thing is that we don't always gamble because we lost. Always remember that the urge of a person is not always an effect of a negative push, it is also an effect of a positive push. There is a reason to continue gambling but let's be clear, don't gamble when you know you can't afford it. A lot of people already suffered from it and we should stop someone to prevent themselves from getting addicted to it.

[TheUltraElite]

I don't think of that reason because it's already given that a person who is winning will certainly continue to gamble.

A person who is winning every gambling game is not a reality. Its a dream, a false thought that lingers in every gambler's mind about being a millionaire without doing anything from their side.

Let's face the reality that most of us are not winning in gambling, yet we are still gambling, what should be the reason then? for me, it's the entertainment.

The reason is chasing losses. They lost money in gambling and the method of making it back is right in front of them - by gambling again of course. So they put in more money and seeing every small gain they think they can play more trying to recover. Unfortunately recovery in gambling is also a dream. It is there to milk out more money from your pocket.

[joshy23]

I have done this before when i was still addict in gambling, there comes a time that all.my bonus in December are spend just to bet in horse race, what i did ia chasing my losses every time .i comw to the ATM withdrawing time after.time until theres.nothing to withdraw thats why it serves me a lesson to not chase losses instead comeback the next day if you want to recover because we don't know that luck will favor you the following day you Gamble

[Pearls Before Swine]

Gambling for experiencing the adrenaline rush in long term is also a bad thing,if we are in need of those for too long which literally means we are addicted to it without our knowledge.

Gamblers who do it 'for the rush' are or will probably turn out to be problem gamblers.  The human brain gets tolerant to adrenaline rushes and dopamine release, as drug addicts all can tell you.  Same thing with gambling.  Same start, too.  You try it for fun, find it fun, win some money, and eventually it becomes your preferred form of pleasure.  The same level of betting never stays satisfying, though.  You therefore have to keep increasing your bets and trying to win back money you lost.  It's the same downward spiral as any addiction, really.

And yet there are those gamblers who keep doing it just for fun and it isn't a problem for them.  For those people, there is indeed a valid reason to keep doing it, i.e., it provides them with a fun thing to do and it doesn't destroy their bank accounts and lives.  As long as those types of people only gamble what they can afford to lose, it's not an issue.

The reason is chasing losses.

You hit it spot on the nose.  Anyone claiming that they're losing money but keep gambling because its fun is lying to you and to themselves.  They are the ones who need to do some introspection.

[jademaxsuy]

It will be valid if still have money to play. There is no point in stopping one to gamble if one has the capacity to do it. Mind you that the decision belongs to the one who gamble and not on anyone. So, if one would like to gamble then so be it. And if it is all about your friend that you can do some sort of advises like we all know that gambling should be taken moderately and should have a discipline to oneseld playing an addictive game.

I just registered and currently reading all the topics about gambling. Pretty messed up.

Gambling in casinos, playing slots. Indeed that is an addiction. Betting daily is wrong. Investing into sports can be life changing. Treat this just like any other bussiness, stocks etc. Although sports investments can have the most highest ROI.

Money management.
Self discipline.
Spot betting.

If you can t do these 3 things, then yes it is gambling.

Controlling ourself will very important in gambling cause once we've forgot about this, it surely we've caught into addiction.
Gambling will be very addictive when one day we won the jackpot and we think that it will happen, and we need to gamble again and again even though we loss all the money we've got. This is how it bring us into down.

[smyslov]

As the title itself, I’m thinking about the valid reason why gamblers continue to gamble even if they are losing a lot of money. Is it hard to understand that gambling will just make your money lose if you still continue?

So many addiction stories, people shares their losing experience and yet you are still gambling. The more you play the bigger the chance to lose the money. What is your reason to continue? Are you willing to chase your loses despite of the risk?

It's the feeling of excitement, compulsive gamblers are not gambling for the money alone, they want the feeling and excitement which they feel whenever they win and whenever they lost, they have an urgency, to gamble because of the feeling that they want to fullfill.

It's the feeling of excitement, compulsive gamblers are not gambling for the money alone, they want the feeling and excitement which they feel whenever they win and whenever they lost, they have an urgency, to gamble because of the feeling that they want to fullfill.

But I am sure that many people have a different reason to play gambling because they want to make money from gambling itself. They don't know how to feel the fun thing inside the games because they only think about making money. We cannot say that they are doing the wrong way to use gambling to make money, but that is their decision.
