Documentary Video of Gambling Addiction, the feeling and thoughts of a gambling addict
| Documentary Video 1 | Documentary Video 2 |



As the title stated, I stumbled on an article[1] published way back in 2021 and wanted it to share with you in case anyone is interested in how a problem gambler's mind works after losing his bankroll.  It was stated that losing a huge amount of money is a sign that we must stop our gambling activity but...

Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

With all the effort of planning, setting a bankroll budget, and time limit, gamblers tend to bypass this plan and continue gambling.  It was said that Gamblers specifically compulsive gamblers don't just gamble for money.  Since compulsive gambling is a behavioral disorder that alters the brain[1], there are more varieties of reasons and motivations to gamble.

Chasing losses

In most cases, when an addicted gambler loses, they don’t stop there. They think that they are so close to winning, that if they just try once more, surely they’ll win this time. This is a very dangerous mindset to have.

They often feel a sense of panic at the amount they have lost, and are determined to gain it back. This is referred to as chasing losses.

In reality, the odds are never in your favor. Relying on skill won’t get you very far, since gambling is not based on skill. If you continue to gamble after you’ve lost a large amount, you will only lose more, and it will result in deeper financial debt, as well as deeper guilt and stress.

Post-Loss Speeding

Gamblers often engage in “post-loss speeding” by placing another bet quicker following a loss because frustration from the defeat prompts them to try and win back their money. As a result, gamblers become more impulsive - instead of becoming more cautious about spending money, they become more reckless.

How Excessive Gambling Leads to Mental Health Disorders

• The amount of money that they spend on gambling often causes a strain on their personal relationships and can negatively impact their job performance and overall work life.
• In some cases, gamblers will go to extreme lengths to cover up their gambling addiction, and may borrow or even steal money from others.
• Gamblers tend to feel guilt and shame when they lose, which can greatly diminish their sense of self-worth.

These intense feelings accompanied with problems that gambling is causing in their personal lives can lead to depression, and even suicidal thoughts.

Problem Gambler often feels depression after losing
Problem Gambler often ends up in depression every time they suffer loss.  They wanted to get out of these feelings which is why they tend to continue gambling to beat the house which is highly unlikely. With this loss chasing and Post-Loss speeding, they end up losing much more money than they can afford to lose.  They end up spending money allocated to households budgets, embezzling others' funds to the extent of stealing money from others.  This triggers family misunderstanding, friend disputes, and even crime.  Due to the problem piling up, a problem gambler often falls into severe depression and possible suicidal thoughts.

They do not have to be antisocial, although some of them clearly are. What does happen is that when they develop the addiction they become more antisocial, at least that is what I have seen in various addictions, especially if the groups of friends they have do not share their addiction.

Feelings will be even more depressed when the money used is completely exhausted because don't have the money to go back to chasing what have lost.

They usually enter a self-destructive process in which for most of them the only way out is to seek help, which makes their addiction less of a hidden issue.

What we have right now is counselling for problematic gamblers to completely stop their gambling habits. That IMO is a better solution than just teaching problematic gamblers some risk management kind of stuff because once they got greedy and felt that they can win big time again, they'll completely forget this risk management thing and then they're back to square 1.

How can we expect the majority of gamblers to behave like a professional and not regret or chase losses when there is no governing body to teach them? We don't provide any sort of tutorials to gamblers and accept them to be clever and intelligent enough to solve all their problems on their own.

It is an extremely hard task to help a problematic gambler re-learn his ways, but helping him stop his destruction and those around him is somewhat easier.



I think the main challenge problematic gamblers face is the stigma around them. If only our society is quite open on these hard discussions I think problematic gamblers will be lessened as they will know that people is willing to listen to them if they try to get out what they can't say. That's what's lacking in our current society: togetherness and oneness. A lot of problems such as this one can easily be solved if people banded together and look for each other.

Yeah you are right, I think there is none in this forum.  What we have are just discussions, and suggestions but probably not from professionals and medical experts.  But there are online services that cater to people who have a gambling addiction.  They offer counseling and recommendations to help gambling deal with their gambling addictions. Of course, there are also paid services that are willing to take in patients to be cured of gambling addictions.

Knowledge, discipline, and responsible gambling are what keep gamblers from being gambling addict.  Information about gambling addiction is everywhere on the internet.  And a person has the ability to learn just by reading and researching example cases. 

[Baofeng]

I experience this all the way in a land base casino "Post-Loss Speeding", I will quickly bet higher on the next game, whether it's slot or card games such as baccarat. It's because of the frustrations of the previous results, maybe because I made the wrong bet or I'm thinking of doubling my bet in a slot machine or going down, and then that bonus happens. So frustrating and that I'm made that I will bet bigger to somewhat compensate what I have lost, but it is wrong, it's just pure emotions running on me for during that.

[Reid]

I think most of the cases will be chasing the losses. It's pride being crushed and you want to win it back. I have been in that situation a lot of times playing Dice at Yolodice. I now regret it because it's not that entertaining, dice is pure gamble only unlike my new hobby now at sports.
I think I lost like 0.6BTC there just chasing the loss that started from 0.001BTC. I won't stop because of the urge of wanting it back and it ballooned to a higher number that lead to frustration. That's when your brain stops working and all you do is keep on rolling the dice.
Learned my lesson, changed the way I gamble.

[Wexnident]

I'm surprised the presence of hormones affecting our mindset such as dopamine isn't included (or might've just been generalized into the mental health problems). But anyhow, most cases actually involved actively expecting something from their sessions, which shouldn't happen. The most that we could expect is that sense of fulfillment for being able to gamble, but nothing more than that. It's like how games give us a sense of satisfaction after playing them (or any other form of entertainment really).

 

Do we have counseling sessions for gamblers where they are taught how to control their risk, and how to control their emotions after a loss or a win? No, we don't have.

Of course, there are also paid services that are willing to take in patients to be cured of gambling addictions.

Cause realistically speaking, I don't think sessions where multiple gamblers would attend would work out. They should be given individual attention instead so that the root of the problem can be properly removed or alleviated to let them gamble without having them have problems.

My Aunt who move to a big city while left alone at home as her husband works as a sailor ends up a  problem gambler.  She wasn't an anti-social person but due to her living alone and the people around speaks a different dialect made her turn to gambling.

I use to accompany her going to the cinema but eventually, she prefers to gamble. Post-Loss Speeding is the one that I notice more about her. After losing, she wants to get back again betting more than what she previously bet. She manages to control when she already has kids. Years later, her kids are now her gambling mates, playing cards in the backyard. The addiction remains I guess but this time not going to the casino. Can't say it affects the family.

[Gozie51]

I think the saying for gambling is not to rest until your money is exhausted and I think it is worst if you have gone out of your way to borrow money because you keep playing and chasing your losses to pay back but the harder you try to regain, the more difficult it is to get your money back. An addict never sees anything wrong when he losses , he feels the next game is his turn to win but never get to win and will not quit playing. In the past I have also experienced this kind of behaviour but was able to reduce the level of participation because I was not deeply involved into it.

[YOSHIE]

Feelings will be even more depressed when the money used is completely exhausted because don't have the money to go back to chasing what have lost.

That's the reason why gambling addicts should be able to control themselves as well as possible, there are cases where people go bankrupt from the world of gambling and return to zero, but they can still control themselves and move on to other activities until success without having to return to the world of gambling, but there are also those who lose control when their money runs out at stake, the end of the story is suicide and committing criminal acts, killing, robbing and so on, the goal is to be able to achieve success and magic again, on the contrary the 2x2 space they get.

Anyone experiencing/experienced a gambling disorder pls. feel free to share your feelings after losing/winning.

Actually many people think, including myself, even though gambling addicts say gambling for pleasure, it may be true, but what needs to be underlined, everyone loses they will be upset win feel very happy, even if it's just gambling for fun.

For obvious reasons, when we gamble and win big, we want more of the action, piece of the pie and then come and play again. But what if we losses again? then regrets will set in, or worst, majority will want to recoup and come back and play with their capital now in hope that they can duplicate and win again.

And it will be another regrets, and if that is the case with me, I will completely stop for a while. For others though, it might be a different story, the addiction will be so tempting that they will have to find a way to make money and then gambling again.

Actually, while this may be true, having a support system here in the forum gives gamblers the extra sense of security that an entity or a project is actually caring for them.

Most gamblers are addicted due to the nature of their addiction, stemming from a need that they have to do. For example, gamblers typically gamble in order to pay for their expenses, bills, etc. while only a fraction of gamblers do such act purely out of entertainment. The former is most likely to suffer from addiction and bankruptcy.

This kind of initiative is what we need in this forum- something free and open that anyone could speak. Given that there are gambling advertisements all throughout, this kind of movement is highly appreciated.

Chasing losses is really on point.

It is what makes us feel comfortable if we're losing and that is to think that we can still chase those losses. In reality, not all, actually the majority isn't getting a good ending.

And after that, we don't know what may a gambler do to himself when he's always losing. Things like committing uncertain things that will harm themselves can happen.

Being addicted is hard to deal with when you're on your own and that's why the suggestion of joining communities like the forum is really helpful.

We're always tempted to bet more after losing because we often believe that we could recover our losses or even gain the profit that we want which is actually unrealistic sometimes. Chasing losses could lead to gambling addiction especially if we can't handle or control our emotions. We really have to set a target goal and limits so we'll always know when to stop and when to continue betting. We can't always recover our losses and we have to accept the fact that we can't always be lucky in gambling.

I thought I will not overcome it this was the time when I lost half of the BFG token I've accumulated from 3 months of the bounty campaign, it was disheartening to see all your effort to accumulate these tokens gone in just an hour of playing, it was because of chasing my losses it started in 100 token losses then it goes to 500 then 2000 until it reaches 25000 tokens, I though I'm going to lose everything if I did not come to my senses at the right time.
It's really risky to chase your losses, you will feel depressed and have sleepless nights, it took me to recover from this depression.

[ethereumhunter]

In the early days of my gambling time, I experienced gambling disorders such as feelings of disappointment and wondering why I could lose so much. But over time and learning about controlling myself when playing gambling, I realized that it was my own fault for not controlling myself and preventing a big loss. I started studying hard to prevent another big loss and always learned to control the use of money to gamble. And now I do not experience that feeling of disappointment because I know and realize that gambling games will only have two outcomes: winning or losing. And most of us will lose.

[Cling18]

There were already plenty of times when I had breakdowns after losing to gambling. I experienced my weakest point when I gambled my Christmas bonus years ago and lost all of it. I haven't had anything for me to spend with my family that Christmas season. I was depressed and disappointed with myself though that wasn't a very big amount but that's a big loss for me. I learned that it's important that we should only gamble using the funds that we can afford to lose and not the funds that are allocated to important staff. That served as a lesson for me. Controlling our emotions really matters.

[Jemzx00]

I often experience most of these before when I got addicted to gambling especially chasing losses. I tried to set limits on how much I gamble and I often stop when I lose instantly. However, whenever I got on a winning streak and then end up losing everything, I mostly end up gambling more than what I've set. Most of the time, I've felt depressed when these situation happens as I try to overthink things that instead of winning I end up losing a lot of my money.

Those suggestions always helps especially being in a group or community as you will notice things when you have someone to talk to. Also, setting plans with them and saving funds stop me from spending more on my gambling activities as I don't want to miss out some of our outings.

Chasing losses

I recently lost on slots and couldn't meet up the minimum amount to make a withdrawal, I was disappointed and after a while went back to "chase my losses", guess what, I lost some more. I think that is regular for people to chase after a loss to try to win back all or even some as consolation. It can be a problem but cannot turn you into a problem gambler if you do it rarely because just like me you gamble occasionally.  

Chasing after losses becomes problematic however, when you gamble regularly say almost everyday, and you keep making losses and chasing after them. This is the quickest way to make huge financial losses and subscribe yourself for depression.

[goldkingcoiner]

I have definitely experienced the bad sides of losing from gambling. Especially when it comes to, as OP mentioned, to chasing the money that you lost. You keep trying to win it back and you make more losses. They next knee-jerk reaction to losing even more gambling funds is to involve yourself in riskier bets because you feel like if you get lucky enough, you can win back all your losses in a single bet. I ashamingly admit I have done this before.

The best thing to do in this situation is to admit you won't win any losses back and get away from gambling while your head needs to cool down.

[bitzizzix]

Gambling is a game of chance, most people think. Hockey betting.
if I fail to win on the first try, maybe I will succeed next time, if still lose, play again.
Then, I was very angry. I was ambitious to be able to win and giving up after losing was a coward.

This is what I like to experience, when you lose there is bound to be feelings of frustration, curiosity, emotion and ambition and I'm sure everyone has experienced it without realizing it. And I think gambling is designed that way and we should really try and learn to control ourselves.
but gradually all of that can be overcome by learning from mistakes and becoming a responsible and disciplined gambler.

[Rigon]

After losing a gambling game, our minds disappear and we will never gamble again.Gambling is a very bad thing and we will never do it.But after some time our mind gets attracted to gambling again.And the temptation to gamble more and to gamble again.It is an addiction that once you are addicted it is very difficult to get out.But I will say only one thing that when people lose in gambling, for a short time, bad concentration works in them that they will never gamble again.

[Daltonik]

Here, as it seems to me, everything is very individual, for example, I understand perfectly well that I am not a successful gambler and nevertheless I play from time to time, I don't know why, apparently still because of the desire to try my luck, but having lost once again I only prove to myself that karma is not so easy to change.

Post-Loss Speeding

Gamblers often engage in “post-loss speeding” by placing another bet quicker following a loss because frustration from the defeat prompts them to try and win back their money. As a result, gamblers become more impulsive - instead of becoming more cautious about spending money, they become more reckless.

I do not know if this counts as "Post-Loss Speeding" but one time play slot and had 100 spins. After I have finished the spins, the money I won was below the withdrawal limit. I got a pop up to place more bet and I immediately used the money won to bet again hoping to win enough money to be able to withdraw it. I ended up not even winning up to the previous amount. Does this count as post-loss speeding?

Solution:

• Be honest with yourself

Self-talk or as I call it self-therapy is the first step to overcoming any addiction especially gambling. No one knows you better than you. And even if you end up lying to others about your gambling problem, you cannot lie to yourself. An honest conversation with yourself about the triggers, and how strategies to overcome gambling always works.

Losing is one thing that can not be avoided by gamblers, gambling only offers 30% Win and 70% Lose (in my view during gambling). The chance of losing is greater than winning, for that reason I have never regretted how much money I spent gambling because the potential for winning is smaller than losing.
Feelings of joy will never be shown by a gambler when he is losing, but satisfaction is certainly obtained after leaving the gambling place because he already knows that gambling offers more defeat than victory.

[Vaskiy]

My experience is really worse, because I made something around $10k when the price of bitcoin was $55k. It was really happiest moment, but the same didn't last long. With that I was able to recover all that I've lost in gambling, more $500-$1000 in loss according to statistics. In the event of recovering the last $500-$1000 I lost the recovered $10k. That was really bad of my gambling act. After that incident few weeks I wasn't able to think of anything.

[Doell]

Of course depression when lose, but it depends on the level of depression, I personally if lose always depressed, especially when placing bets on multi. Losing 1 game that makes me depressed but can always be cured when switching it to other entertainment to fun, my experience chasing win by betting again is always uncontrolled on slot games but not with sportsbook betting, therefore I believe it depends on the game too. My feeling when I win at the slot is weird "not awesome" but winning in a sportsbook bet is a great.

My personal negative experience is somewhat similar to yours: I lost in slots, tried to win back and as a result I lost my entire deposit. My path to this was classic: won 1 sat. - lost 3 sat., won 2 sat.- lost 5 sat. and so on. I saw where things were going and could stop, fixing smaller losses, but frustration and anger at the uncontrollability of the situation prevailed, which led to even more trouble. I immediately decided for myself that I would not recoup any more and fix this loss, I would accept the situation as it is. I haven't gambled since then and my negative experience still serves as a reminder.

[Google+]

Maybe unlike other players, what I feel when I lose a gamble is that it's hard to sleep well because this is caused by regret or because I don't play disciplined when I gamble. In general, worries can also hit me in my appetite and can't concentrate when I face problems at that time. All of these things may have also been felt by other gambling players but every defeat there is always a feeling to play again for the sake of withdrawing or returning the initial loss. Mental disorders may be caused by gambling defeats but I hope this does not happen to me.

[Slow death]

I look at the game as having two options: win or lose. simple as that... I don't regret after losing and I don't chase losses and I don't put feelings in the game, I just use my reasoning, I don't cling to the team when I play, no matter how much I'm a fan of a team when I place a bet I don't get attached, it's important to see that games are something where a person can easily lose everything and for that reason a person needs a lot of self control, a person needs a lot of strategies and a person needs to have a strong mind to deal with. with the losses

According to the definition, you need to suffer a loss and then wager a higher bet due to the frustration of losing.  Your case is different, you are aiming to have the minimum amount to withdraw and that is the reason why you are forced to bet again.  So, I believe it doesn't count as post-loss speeding.

Gambling is not a bad thing and all depends on the way we gamble. Gambling supposed to be lite and simple. We should not gamble with what we know we can't afford to lose because of greed. I think greed is one of the reasons why many gamblers had lost bigger funds in the history of gambling. If you gamble with what you know you can afford to lose then there is high risk of losing than winning. Because of what we think we will gain, we end up using our last hope or fund to gamble and finally lose.

[Oshosondy]

Chasing after losses becomes problematic however, when you gamble regularly say almost everyday, and you keep making losses and chasing after them. This is the quickest way to make huge financial losses and subscribe yourself for depression.

If I could recall vividly, I was not the type that chase losses but I gamble most often, I continue to lose and lose until I stopped gambling for a year and some weeks or days. Frequent gambling on its own is very risky. Quality gambling is better than quantity gambling.

Chasing losses is of this category too but also worse because a gambler can lose the whole money he is using to gamble in just a day after first loss, he will continue to gamble until all the money is lost and realized that. Chasing losses create a very mindset in gamblers mind that fall for it and loss is the most possible result.

[darkangel11]

I had this feeling in both gambling and online gaming.
When you lose and feel miserable you want to keep playing to prevent yourself from going back to the real life and facing what had happened. You'd rather stay in that mindset that you had when you were playing and hope that you'll either win and calm your nerves or get so tired that you won't be able to think about it anymore.

I also had a feeling of wanting to beat myself even more. Like I made a mistake and continue because I feel like it can't get much worse from this point even though it can. It can always get worse and worse as long as you're alive. Only dying is the ultimate bottom that you can reach, but people who are depressed rarely see things as they are.

You'd rather stay in that mindset that you had when you were playing and hope that you'll either win and calm your nerves or get so tired that you won't be able to think about it anymore.

I think this is the case where you are hiding from reality.  You drown yourself with other things than facing that reality and this time you choose to do it with gambling.

I also had a feeling of wanting to beat myself even more. Like I made a mistake and continue because I feel like it can't get much worse from this point even though it can. It can always get worse and worse as long as you're alive. Only dying is the ultimate bottom that you can reach, but people who are depressed rarely see things as they are.

Or it can be better if you faced the problem.  Life is a two-way street, depending in our action and which path we chose.  In gambling being depressed after losing is bound to happen when we are left with nothing.  But we should face the fact that we made a mistake and are eager to take responsibility on it and works our way to correct that mistake,  By accepting things around us, and moving forward while facing and fixing our gambling problem, life will get better each day.

Problem gamblers who lost 100 straight bets. Would probably think they were overdue for a winning streak. They don't understand that there is no statute of limitations on bad decisions.

100 consecutive bad decisions doesn't imply a person gains a higher probability of making 100 consecutive good decisions. That could be one aspect to problem gamblers that has difficulty sinking in.

Typically problem gamblers I have seen also fail to comprehend basics of gambling. They will bet on a -200 line expecting it to have near to 50/50 accuracy. Not recognizing there are considerable mitigating circumstances surrounding the mathematics of lines oddsmakers publish.

A big part of being a problem gambler could simply come down to lacking context and a general understanding of the mechanics involved.

Problem gamblers have inaccurate ideas about gambling. Which leads to them usually making the same mistakes over long periods of time.

My experience is really worse, because I made something around $10k when the price of bitcoin was $55k. It was really happiest moment, but the same didn't last long. With that I was able to recover all that I've lost in gambling, more $500-$1000 in loss according to statistics. In the event of recovering the last $500-$1000 I lost the recovered $10k. That was really bad of my gambling act. After that incident few weeks I wasn't able to think of anything.

This is the risk of chasing our losses, we tend to gamble more with a hope that we can recover the whole amount but in reality its going not to be easy. This is also where addiction started, if you can’t control yourself and continue to chase loses and aiming for more, many gamblers losses their capital because of this. Seek help if you think you are already trap in gambling, know that you are not alone and you still have your family to guide you and heal your broken life, addiction may be bad but in the end, family can still accept you.

...
Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

With all the effort of planning, setting a bankroll budget, and time limit, gamblers tend to bypass this plan and continue gambling.  It was said that Gamblers specifically compulsive gamblers don't just gamble for money.  Since compulsive gambling is a behavioral disorder that alters the brain[1], there are more varieties of reasons and motivations to gamble.
...

if we collect real data (poll) based on this board only then we get all kinds of reasons someone is tied to gambling...

I agree with a gambler (in the category of heavy addicts) to reduce their gambling activities, is by being open / joining a community because there we will see each one strengthening each other, providing input and steps slowly to reduce gambling activities. A gambler who is losing will definitely not give up even though he has lost and will keep coming back. only a small number of heavy gamblers can actually stop gambling, most are able to control and balance their gambling portion.

[coolcoinz]

Probably feels bad. I'm not a problem gambler. I rarely play and never lose a lot of money but it always feels bad to lose. The more you lose, the more time you waste, the worse it feels. Probably the most challenging for the gambler's mind is losing someone else's money and gambling against the advice of your loved ones. After losing you know that you'll not only have to face the loss of money but also come back home and face the people who told you not to do it.

[BITCOIN4X]

Let me tell you the truth that losing is not a fun thing in gambling. Anyone really wants to win a bet, no matter how small or big the value and winning will make us happy.

I feel that I have lost many times which may have influenced my attitude and mindset about gambling. The feeling of wanting to get back the money I lost must be there, I was curious about what I could win after losing, this made me more or less unaware that there were a lot of expenses that I had spent. But what's more now, we have to be responsible for whatever we enjoy including gambling.

[aioc]

Problem Gambler often feels depression after losing
Problem Gambler often ends up in depression every time they suffer loss.  They wanted to get out of these feelings which is why they tend to continue gambling to beat the house which is highly unlikely. With this loss chasing and Post-Loss speeding, they end up losing much more money than they can afford to lose.  They end up spending money allocated to households budgets, embezzling others' funds to the extent of stealing money from others.  This triggers family misunderstanding, friend disputes, and even crime.  Due to the problem piling up, a problem gambler often falls into severe depression and possible suicidal thoughts.

Before this, problem gamblers experienced a series of winning he experienced big winnings and he thought that he has a magic touch or he has found a way to beat the house, he thinks that he can always repeat his winning run, so whenever he suffered a loss at one session he always comes back and promises to himself that the next session or game he can recovers all his loses.

This goes on trying to make himself and all around him that he can recover his losses as he did in the past and that's where depression comes in because reality comes in that you really cannot beat the house and you only gamble with money that you can afford to lose, and you should never try or even think of recovering your loses.

Losing is never a fun thing even to those people who do say that they are playing gambling for fun but it is really hard to ignore and resist on being that reactive on the time that you are losing.

It would really changed up your mood and would changed up your motive in the first place and if you arent that experienced enough when it comes to emotion handling then you would really be finding yourself

to be that impulsive and this is where actions do changes and it will surely affect on your initial plans and set out limitations or borderline earlier because if you arent really that
good on controlling your emotion then likely you will commit another mistake or bad decisions.

This kind of stress usually happen to those who don’t have any budget in gambling instead they took risk using their borrowed money or a money came from their savings account. Many are still chasing their losses, this is a bad habit and if you continue to gamble like this, most probably you will suffer more later on. Addiction can be prevented, if you gamble responsibly then you can be a better gambler and still have fun even if you lose the money because you know, that money is just an extra for you.

[chaser15]

Seems a bit of too much technicality if we need to really be concerned about this.

Above all of those pointers why gamblers tend to continue amid losing, the experience will teach us how to become a better gambler later on. Every gambler should know that the moment they enter the world of gambling, it's just between winning and losing as the only result they should expect.

It will now depend on the gambler on how will they react regardless of the outcome of that particular session.

[ralle14]

Chasing after losses becomes problematic however, when you gamble regularly say almost everyday, and you keep making losses and chasing after them. This is the quickest way to make huge financial losses and subscribe yourself for depression.

On top of that our mindset is also a factor since there are gamblers that aren't willing to accept or move on from their previous losses and try to recover them in their next gambling session.

After losing a gambling game, our minds disappear and we will never gamble again.Gambling is a very bad thing and we will never do it.But after some time our mind gets attracted to gambling again.And the temptation to gamble more and to gamble again.It is an addiction that once you are addicted it is very difficult to get out.But I will say only one thing that when people lose in gambling, for a short time, bad concentration works in them that they will never gamble again.

It's always easy to say those types of stuff but doing it consistently is a different story since it's not easy for some people to quickly get rid of their addiction. I'm not sure about having bad concentration but for me, it's better to keep a level head when losing so you don't lose control and switch up your strategy while playing.

[Zlantann]

Your tips will be very helpful if applied. But like you stated, be honest to yourself. A gambling addict must first of all acknowledge that he/she has a problem. Some gambling addict never accepts that they have a problem, hence they would never heed to professional advice on how to break free from this harmful behavior. Lack of employment can also make a gambler see the game as a means of livelihood instead of for entertainment.You would see such person investing most of his time in gambling houses and when he loose they feel depressed and sometimes violent.   

[OgNasty]

Let me tell you the truth that losing is not a fun thing in gambling. Anyone really wants to win a bet, no matter how small or big the value and winning will make us happy.

I don't think this is always true.  Sometimes it's the rush of having money on the line that is what you're paying for.  Sure, it's better to win money than lose money, but if you're gambling only to make money there are far better and less risky ways.  I think people are best served gambling for the added excitement and sometimes that added excitement is worth the cost of admission.  For me, it doesn't even take a lot of money and I think having $10 on the line during a game is more entertaining than getting that extra drink.

Agree with what you said, but when it comes to saying things like this it might be easier if it involves small-scale money there but when it comes to big-money maybe I agree with @BITCOIN4X.
Indeed, in this case gambling is not the right place to get money, but on the other hand we will also feel bad when we lose, even though we are aware that the game, especially in gambling, the ratio of losses is clearly greater than winning.

[Peanutswar]

It is a community full of gamblers and by that, for sure we can get knowledge from the learnings and mistakes from the other people by that we can avoid and lessen the possible risk, but again it is on the player's responsibility to play even though we want them to stop if they have the urge to play we can't do anything with that. It is easy to play gambling and wage but it is hard to lose and experience a lot of mixed feelings that might give anxiety to the person. That's why gambling consciously.

[Ararbermas]

Tbh mate I've been there chasing losses as well and yes it didn't turn out good to me and i end up massive losses afterwards. So i decided to quit that time for the sake of my health and etc because its like you're always greedy for the opportunity but you always lose.Lol and you always getting mad when someone trying to bother you even it's important.. That's why i took a long break after i realise what I'm doing even in general. Hopefully i don't have such mindset that even they are keep losing money they continue.

Learning lesson on things like this is a bit hard to attain. This kind topic has been recycled many times and probably there’s thousands or more post about feeling of problem gambler because this is common when you are dealing with gambling. Gambling is design to be addictive and most of us know what’s do’s and don’t yet we are still playing because we can’t stop our self to play and chase for profit even though our excuse is we just want to have fun on gambling.

The main problem was implementing what we learned and not just simply knowing them. Applying those knowledge is the hardest part.

[xSkylarx]

Some gambling addict never accepts that they have a problem, hence they would never heed to professional advice on how to break free from this harmful behavior.  

Addicted gamblers are afraid to seek help because the society reject them if they found out that they are addicted to gambling. Even their relatives will not be willing to help them and even bring them down more. People usually mistreat addicted gamblers because they think they will just acquire their bad habit or ask them some money.

A community built in helping these gamblers will slowly break the stereotype and make them not feel bad for themselves.

[virasog]

Knowledge, discipline, and responsible gambling are what keep gamblers from being gambling addict.  Information about gambling addiction is everywhere on the internet.  And a person has the ability to learn just by reading and researching example cases. 

The problem is that addictive gamblers do not want to have any knowledge, they are not disciplined and they show no responsibility in gambling, that's why we called them addictive gamblers. If they had all these qualities they would not be addictive in the first place. These additive gamblers are like patients who need careful treatment by the doctor but it is ignored because no one thinks that addiction is a disease. Everything is of the view that gambling addiction is a bad habit that should be cured by the gambler himself without any help.

if gambling has become an addictive necessity it will interfere with his own life. They will have no limits in gambling even if they lose most of their money. Those who are addicted will believe that they will surely win even after many losses.
The more he loses, the greater his interest in gambling. This is a psychological disease that needs to be rehabilitated and requires the help of the environment and other people. they couldn't cure it themselves because there was no limit anymore.
I find some addicted gamblers have a messy life and are too quick to be emotional or temperamental, it will be more dangerous and can lead to criminal acts if it can't be controlled.

[Fundamentals Of]

It is really a big problem not just in gambling but also in other aspects in life such as sports and other activities if we can't accept being lost. If we lose, then we lose. Nobody is born to become a winner all the time. If we lose in a racing match or a game or debate or in whatever activity, then we just have to accept it.

But not accepting a loss in gambling could pose a bigger problem. That's a terrible tendency in gambling because that could mean never-ending spending just to get back and recover one's loss.

they appear to not looking for help but its because they hide the addiction from their family which in the end, it becomes too late when its finally blurt out. too late, they've been into gambling too deep and money dried up.

[topman21]

I was always a Liverpool supporter in the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid but sadly I had to finish the game in tears.  I lost betting like 500 dollars for the first time in my life.  To say that this was the largest amount of unexpected losses in my life.  Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah did well that day but Vinicius Junior's finish brought Liverpool fans to tears.

[traderethereum]

People who play gambling, of course, will feel disappointed and sad if they experience defeat at the gambling table.
But the disappointment will probably vary, especially for gamblers who use a lot of money.
And for gamblers who don't use a lot of money, it may not feel like it.
Also, addicted gamblers will not feel any negative feelings but may want to recover from that loss another day.
But it's natural for us to get that negative feeling if we lose because we can feel sad about losing money at the gambling table.

[gunhell16]

Sir, you have said almost everything, maybe the only thing I can add is what was said "Be honest with yourself" Because there are many gamblers who cannot accept it in themselves that they are addicted and have become very addicted to gambling, maybe there is nothing others planted in his mind that gambling is the only way for him to earn or get rich even though in real life there are many ways. Second, it's also different to interact with the community so that your mind is not focused on the thing that you lost a lot in gambling. So that you don't get stressed out and end up depressed. It is also good to change your environment around you.

This is what a gambler can feel when he loses a large amount in a gamble.

1. You feel weak or tired.

2. You are always sad.

3. You are thinking about where to get money so that you can gamble again to make up for it.

4. That you will also be stressed because of your defeat.

[Falconer]

The OP, as others have said, I agree that every loss is disappointing especially when we believe we can win the bet. An example is when we bet on Manchester United against Brighton, I was sure Manchester United won but in the end they lost and couldn't do much.

But whether the disappointment will always be remembered at all times? certainly not. I've lost hundreds of times, but I don't even want to remember it for too long because it's useless. I can also think that losing can sometimes make gamblers more curious and make them even more addicted, but if we get to this stage then I'm sure there will soon be problems especially regarding finances and failure to control emotions in gambling.

[Alisha-k]

Join Community, are most people addicted to gambling because they are anti-social people? It's not easy to change the habits of a person who doesn't have a social life and then join a community for any reason, especially if that person is already addicted.
Feelings will be even more depressed when the money used is completely exhausted because don't have the money to go back to chasing what have lost.

Do we have counseling sessions for gamblers where they are taught how to control their risk, and how to control their emotions after a loss or a win? No, we don't have.

How can we expect the majority of gamblers to behave like a professional and not regret or chase losses when there is no governing body to teach them? We don't provide any sort of tutorials to gamblers and accept them to be clever and intelligent enough to solve all their problems on their own.

You've got a point there @noormcs5. Where there's counseling for gamblers like AAs have, it becomes difficult to control these issues because this is money we are talking about here. In a scenario where you loss big, something inside tells you to stake higher on your next bet because for sure you'd win! At the end of the day, the odds aren't in your favor then you become depressed.
 
Humans find it hard to be truthful to themselves especially gamblers. It's hard for a man who is a chronic gambler to accept he has an addiction that's where these counseling groups come in.

if you are an easy person to get money then the value of $500 is not a problem for you, but if your economic condition is not good then $500 is a lot of money and of course Real Madrid already looks to be the winner because of the strength of Karim Benzema, the result of the match will be very different when this player does not contribute on the field because the main strength of real madrid is in an attacker who has quite good skills.

I don't expect whoever lost the bet from that last year champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid to feel bad because the both teams are equal to each other, although Liverpool had some many early minutes changes to start the lead early which may be the reason anyone who lost would feel sad. Unfortunately, Real Madrid Vinicius Jr took the chance for them at the second half of the game and that was the only goal thereafter. So you half to take defeat not too disheartening, afterall it was real Madrid playing at the finals and it is risky to bet against Madrid at any finals for the records sake.

Anyone experiencing/experienced a gambling disorder pls. feel free to share your feelings after losing/winning.

Honestly, I think, all of us here who like gambling especially those who are often directly involved have experienced problems like the ones you describe from this thread.
this discussion is very interesting, most of us would deny that we can actually be said to be addicts or have been addicts. (including myself) gambling is a complex problem, involving considerable feelings and emotions.
in the winning phase, we will want an even bigger win, this is called human instinct or being overwhelmed by greed, as well as when we lose, we often think that victory is almost close, that's why the gambling session continues. it is without realizing that we are actually chasing losses. 

Well, in my case, experience has taught me the importance of having a deeper understanding of gambling, awareness, self-control, responsibility, can help me break free from addiction. at this time I only gamble if I have time after work activities and even then mostly only bet on football.

[Adbitco]

Do we have counseling sessions for gamblers where they are taught how to control their risk, and how to control their emotions after a loss or a win? No, we don't have.

From all clear indications this thread can serve as one basically. I have to tried to understand something that was biting me within myself and it sound as therapy to cover those spaces. I love gambling, i was an addict of pool, whereby going to local shop and betting center around locality to bet but when i noticed this strong failure each time i became more stronger to bet the more so i wasn't helping myself physically and mentally because i believe and with past example of others i could dig out Gold from its spot but never do i know i was sinking more and more. i called and being counseled by my Uncle who is perfectly doing well in life.

After which it took me time to readjust have a normal life just like others. While in this forum i never place a bet that i can't control my feeling or forget about the little fund i deposited in a site, i don't mostly deposit what i can't forget about by reducing tension and pressure.

How can we expect the majority of gamblers to behave like a professional and not regret or chase losses when there is no governing body to teach them? We don't provide any sort of tutorials to gamblers and accept them to be clever and intelligent enough to solve all their problems on their own.

To me anyone who chase losses is on the influence of Greed, I have also being in same scenario so learning to limit their hunger to gain make is gain is one of the major key factor they have to apply.

We don't provide any sort of tutorials to gamblers and accept them to be clever and intelligent enough to solve all their problems on their own.

Anyone who watches football and anticipate in any other sporting activities sees themselves as a champion who is perfect and can predict or gives some correct scores about gambling is another major problem hindering and affecting us.

[_act_]

Also, addicted gamblers will not feel any negative feelings but may want to recover from that loss another day.

Addicted people can be depressed if they lose to gambling, nobody like to lose, but being addicted will make them to overlook and forget about the loss very fast if compared to people that are not addicted at all, but that is just one stage in gambling for addicts, the end result for being an addict will be more brutal than just losing alone, the reason not to be addicted.

But it's natural for us to get that negative feeling if we lose because we can feel sad about losing money at the gambling table.

It all depends on how much you are paid monthly and how much you put into gambling monthly. Assuming you are paid $1000 monthly, you spend $50 on gambling while the rest which is $950 is used for savings and daily spending, that is still good. If a person like that lose to gambling, the loss would be little, from the $50 that he budgeted for gambling, he can devide it into $2 dollars for each gambling and he will gamble just $25 times throughout the whole month. Like me, just during weekend and using $10 to gamble weekly is not a stress for me, even if I lose, I do not feel bad at all, but I win than lose.

[lionheart78]

Here is a documentary video about a person who happen to fall to gambling addiction.

Bright Lights: what one woman's 25-year gambling addiction really cost

The documentary is about the devastating impact of gambling addiction on a woman named Sharon.  The detailed information regarding the film can be found in the article titled:
Bright Lights: an animated exploration of the devastating grip of poker machines

The video shows, how Sharon got hooked on the Poker Machine (also called pokies), and her feeling and experience during the process and time of gambling addiction.  I hope we can find an important lesson and have more understanding of how a person gets addicted to gambling.

Seems a bit of too much technicality if we need to really be concerned about this.

Above all of those pointers why gamblers tend to continue amid losing, the experience will teach us how to become a better gambler later on. Every gambler should know that the moment they enter the world of gambling, it's just between winning and losing as the only result they should expect.

It will now depend on the gambler on how will they react regardless of the outcome of that particular session.

I hope that will be the case but often times the worse scenario always takes place.  Instead of learning from our mistakes, the mistakes often trigger us to commit other mistakes such as chasing losses and post-loss speed.  Then when we keep on losing, depression comes in.  Just like what aioc stated due to the early winnings we are baited to believe a fallacy that if we keep on gambling, we will eventually recover our losses but it often times never happen.

[Lordhermes]

The experience that comes after one loses a game is one that I can't explain,it a feeling that goes beyond pain,especially when one plays with a very high amount.One can feel like giving up on life,commiting suicide,hurting anyone around,and better still feel like robbing to replace the money lost.So many people have giving up on life as a result of gambling,lost hopes and gone astray,but it is advisable to gamble bearing in mind that anything can happen,either winning,or losing.

[livingfree]

Chasing losses is really on point.

It is what makes us feel comfortable if we're losing and that is to think that we can still chase those losses. In reality, not all, actually, the majority isn't getting a good ending.

And after that, we don't know what may a gambler do to himself when he's always losing. Things like committing uncertain things that will harm themselves can happen.

Being addicted is hard to deal with when you're on your own and that's why the suggestion of joining communities like the forum is really helpful.

We're always tempted to bet more after losing because we often believe that we could recover our losses or even gain the profit that we want which is actually unrealistic sometimes. Chasing losses could lead to gambling addiction especially if we can't handle or control our emotions. We really have to set a target goal and limits so we'll always know when to stop and when to continue betting. We can't always recover our losses and we have to accept the fact that we can't always be lucky in gambling.

It can wipe the current bankroll of someone if he's eager to recover his losses. Chasing isn't really the key to recovery of losses but just another way of adding value to your current losses.

Well, for some they become successful in doing it but not everyone has that luck.

If things aren't really going according to your plan, just let it go and settle for that day as it might give you more of the bad day.

I've gamble for years now and I know from myself that I did experience chasing loses and doing Post-Loss Speeding after having a depressing loss. The primary reason why I did things like that is because I don't have any control to myself. I admit that I'm a gambling addict before and this is what I experience every time I losses on my gambling session.  It affects my current financial status because I spend more money than I do plan to spend and also the mental effect takes a toll after not getting what you aimed for. Being honest and accepting my current situation helps a lot in realizing and controlling things that I shouldn't do like overspending on my gambling activities.

Even a non-gambling addict also feels the same.  Sometimes there is this moment when we think we are too lucky we bet and lose and do martingale style and eventually go all-in either because of the frustration or the feeling lucky stuff.  Then regret the action when his desire did not realize.  At least on your side you know what is happening inside you and have time to fix things before it gets worst.

The moment you crossed your limits and become carried away by your own emotions to gamble more, that marks the start of your gambling addiction. For most of us, chasing our losses and chasing our luck put us into that situation, wherein we can no longer control anymore of our expenses and end up seeing ourselves having financial breakdown. I’ve been there, but I was lucky enough to easily recover maybe because I was fast to admit that I was already having a gambling addiction, and that my family was always there to help me get me through from that certain uncomfortable condition.

[inanilujimi]

There are several cases in my country of a gambler who becomes a motorcycle thief because he wants to gamble, it's ironic indeed, but if he is addicted beyond reason, it can happen.
It's true that the feeling of chaos when you lose gambling is very painful but try to be mentally prepared to lose in gambling, because otherwise it can affect a bad mindset.

[johhnyUA]

Problem Gambler often ends up in depression every time they suffer loss.  They wanted to get out of these feelings which is why they tend to continue gambling to beat the house which is highly unlikely. With this loss chasing and Post-Loss speeding, they end up losing much more money than they can afford to lose

Sad but true. The first aid in this case is to tell yourself: "Man, stop. You should try again tomorrow or maybe later, today is not your day". And after that you should change your activity, to forget the idea to take revenge on your loss.

Why this is work? If you try to tell yourself just "no", in 90 % of cases this will not help, strict restriction even from you to yourself creates more anger and negation. But if you try to fool your mind (we will try this later, just not today) with a great chance you will achieve a success. And tomorrow or later it will be much more to just flee it away.

And yeah, as I said, you need some activity which will distract you from your thoughts about gambling.

Solution:

• Be honest with yourself
• Join a Community
• Get to the root of why you are gambling
• Go to Treatment

1. it's hard for 90 % of people, maybe even impossible
2. What community to join?
3. The same as point 1
4. This will help, but many people find themselves in trouble much earlier. Without friends or family who will force you to treatment this will not useful advice, again.

Sample Documentary Video of Gambling Addiction, the feeling and thoughts of a gambling addict
Sample 1


As the title stated, I stumbled on an article[1] published way back in 2021 and wanted it to share with you in case anyone is interested in how a problem gambler's mind works after losing his bankroll.  It was stated that losing a huge amount of money is a sign that we must stop our gambling activity but...

Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

With all the effort of planning, setting a bankroll budget, and time limit, gamblers tend to bypass this plan and continue gambling.  It was said that Gamblers specifically compulsive gamblers don't just gamble for money.  Since compulsive gambling is a behavioral disorder that alters the brain[1], there are more varieties of reasons and motivations to gamble.

Chasing losses

In most cases, when an addicted gambler loses, they don’t stop there. They think that they are so close to winning, that if they just try once more, surely they’ll win this time. This is a very dangerous mindset to have.

They often feel a sense of panic at the amount they have lost, and are determined to gain it back. This is referred to as chasing losses.

In reality, the odds are never in your favor. Relying on skill won’t get you very far, since gambling is not based on skill. If you continue to gamble after you’ve lost a large amount, you will only lose more, and it will result in deeper financial debt, as well as deeper guilt and stress.

Post-Loss Speeding

Gamblers often engage in “post-loss speeding” by placing another bet quicker following a loss because frustration from the defeat prompts them to try and win back their money. As a result, gamblers become more impulsive - instead of becoming more cautious about spending money, they become more reckless.

How Excessive Gambling Leads to Mental Health Disorders

• The amount of money that they spend on gambling often causes a strain on their personal relationships and can negatively impact their job performance and overall work life.
• In some cases, gamblers will go to extreme lengths to cover up their gambling addiction, and may borrow or even steal money from others.
• Gamblers tend to feel guilt and shame when they lose, which can greatly diminish their sense of self-worth.

These intense feelings accompanied with problems that gambling is causing in their personal lives can lead to depression, and even suicidal thoughts.

Problem Gambler often feels depression after losing
Problem Gambler often ends up in depression every time they suffer loss.  They wanted to get out of these feelings which is why they tend to continue gambling to beat the house which is highly unlikely. With this loss chasing and Post-Loss speeding, they end up losing much more money than they can afford to lose.  They end up spending money allocated to households budgets, embezzling others' funds to the extent of stealing money from others.  This triggers family misunderstanding, friend disputes, and even crime.  Due to the problem piling up, a problem gambler often falls into severe depression and possible suicidal thoughts.

Solution:

• Be honest with yourself
• Join a Community
• Get to the root of why you are gambling
• Go to Treatment

Gambling is an addictive sport. Most times they continue playing in hopes that they’ll win and recover their losses. They walk on a tightrope between a place where they want to stop to prevent further losses but want to continue to try to regain what they've lost. This is mostly the reason why they continue. That's why it's advised that betting should be played for fun and not because of an addiction.

[Johnyz]

There are several cases in my country of a gambler who becomes a motorcycle thief because he wants to gamble, it's ironic indeed, but if he is addicted beyond reason, it can happen.
It's true that the feeling of chaos when you lose gambling is very painful but try to be mentally prepared to lose in gambling, because otherwise it can affect a bad mindset.

Losing makes us feel uncomfortable, it may take some time to accept the losses especially if you expect too much but then again, this is gambling and we have to accept that losing money is normal. Chasing for any loses might result to addiction and if you gamble too much, this may be the next problem you’ll be facing, to deal with your emotion and if you can’t control it you might ended up doing bad things. I remember also my friend before, they make a bad scene in casino because of too much disappointment with their loses, this can happen to you as well if you are not a disciplined gambler.

Yeah, especially when the money lost is budgeted for households.  So it is always advised to gamble free money,  If we don't have free money for gambling then better not force it.  Else we will have lots of problems when the money is lost in gambling.  I have witnessed this kind of scenario from my neighbor.  The father probably has a compulsive gambling disorder since he cannot stop himself from gambling even though their money is enough for their food.  At the same time, I feel sorry for my friend since his father got hot-headed whenever his father loses.

Not the problem gambler, even the normal one feels like dying once after experiencing big loss. Most of the time user finds difficulty in accepting the loss. With time a gambler get used to it. Even I have got this thinking when I was a new gambler and experienced a big loss. Even now when I experience loss my close ones easily find something had gone wrong with me. So, there is some behavioural change once after losses.

The main idea of this thread, if I got it right, to prevent such a "big losses". People should know how to stop themselves to not get into this trap.

Personally, I never got into a "big loss", because I know how to stop myself (example and explanation in my post a little bit above).

Money is something that has great importance, no matter if someone says, "I only played with money I could afford to lose, so I'm not sad because I lost". that person will be lying, we are all sad when we lose money and even without money involved no one likes to lose in some game. Can you imagine spending hours doing analysis in a certain game and then losing in that game? who wouldn't be sad? the sadness and pain of losing makes us be more cautious in the next game and unfortunately things start to get worse when we have consecutive losses

consecutive defeats signify that we must stop for a moment from gambling and don't force it to win. Gambling is not how well you play but more about luck. if you are still unlucky and keep losing then stop. everyone who loses money will certainly feel sad and will always be remembered. every gambler's feeling when he loses will certainly experience psychological pressure because he failed to make a profit.

^ You have an amount that you can afford and also you have self-discipline that will quickly stop once you will reach the maximum limit.
The common problem is that chasing loss, trying to cover the fund that you have to lose and instead of getting it back it becomes worst because you lose everything you have. The thread of the OP is very important to us to remember those things, we are still very lucky here that we are full of awareness not to become a gambling addict because we know how to avoid it.

I think most of the cases will be chasing the losses. It's pride being crushed and you want to win it back. I have been in that situation a lot of times playing Dice at Yolodice. I now regret it because it's not that entertaining, dice is pure gamble only unlike my new hobby now at sports.
I think I lost like 0.6BTC there just chasing the loss that started from 0.001BTC. I won't stop because of the urge of wanting it back and it ballooned to a higher number that lead to frustration. That's when your brain stops working and all you do is keep on rolling the dice.
Learned my lesson, changed the way I gamble.

I think it's crazy attempting to recover the losses that you see in your profile or on your statistics because its a sum of all the losses that you made through the years of gambling so it's definitely a huge amount but the one that I usually try to recover is the money that I use on my new gambling session as it's only small and more possible to recover but in the event, I fail on my first or second attempt I will not try anymore.

Dice is not entertaining because it's fast paced and you will be staring at a boring animation while in sports betting you can watch the game live but there are still other casino games which are fun like plinko for example.

Only a fool would gamble if he had problems with his finances. I believe that you can only gamble with money that you can immediately part with and not regret it. If a person is gambling in order to improve his financial situation by spending his last money, he obviously needs help from specialists, because he has a problem with his head.

It is true. He would only deposit his money into the casino because he couldn't think straight and was just looking for an escape from his problems. He thought he could solve the problem by playing gambling and that there was no need to do anything. A person who plays gambling will regret losing his money, especially if he does not consider limiting the money used for gambling. If we win from gambling, we will certainly feel joy, especially if we win a lot of money. But vice versa, if we lose in large numbers, we will feel sad, and maybe we want to recover from our defeat the next day.

Entertainment of one gambling game depends on it's users whether they'll be entertained or not. Yolodice, Primedice, Just-dice and other dice gambling platform still has a lot of gamblers playing which means tons and tons of users are keep getting entertained.

Anyways, it is much better not to look your overall statistics especially when you are gambling to recover you loss as you will inevitably lose almost everytime. It's better to only look your statistics for every of your sessions so you won't be chasing too much loss.

You say this as if all people are smart in all matters, and meeting a fool in life is a rare case ;-) In fact, there are many people who are simply stupid, plus there are many people who are smart in some way but suffer from a lack of common sense, so some wacky idea, but wrapped in a beautiful package, can deceive them. For example, not gambling, but trading (Forex, etc.), not astrology, but Technical Analysis and so on.

How can that fool be able to gamble if he is struggling with his finances?

Where they will get the money? How is it possible to finance their gambling activity?

"Only a fool would gamble if after losing big money, will continue to chase loses no matter what until no money left"

Well, that's actually pretty common here in my country.
Even with this poverty level people would still find a way to gamble regardless of the financial situation. But mostly, people that struggle financial are the ones who usually gambles a lot. Not in a casino, but with a traditional gambling from the neighborhood like Chinese poker, mahjong, and cock fighting. A person who struggles financially doesn't mean he can't gamble.

Out of desperation on why they do really have that kind of behavior on which they do play just for the hope that they might able to win something big but if we do really talk on realistic way then its never been that
worth if you do really have that kind of consideration on which those earning or salary of yours which should really be spent on something important or something else would be definitely be spent through gambling
just because you've been thinking on making it big which is totally a very wrong mindset or idea to have in mind because you are really making things even more worst.
If you dont like to lose money then its better to avoid gambling but if you are searching for some leisure time then its not bad to gamble as long you do have the limitations.

This usually happens to those who are continuously chasing their losses. After losing everything they have because of gambling, they're desperate to recover everything hoping that they could regain everything back not considering and noticing that they're falling deeply into gambling addiction. Those who put their false hope in gambling usually end up losing everything. Despite struggling with their finances, they still see gambling as a solution to their problems.

Those people do not realize that instead of improving their situation they will make it way worse if they keep gambling, losing a lot of money you could not afford to lose is already bad enough, but during those desperate times gamblers do not realize they have to stop and accept their losses, and instead they begin to think about borrowing money from their friends and family members in a desperate attempt to get everything they have lost back, and when they fail not only they will lose the money that was loaned to them they could also lose the friendship they had with all of those people.

I think most of the gamblers have problem with finances and go into chasing their losses and that causes a lot of problems. The worst thing is when they loan the money from someone else thats when there is a real problem

[Rengga Jati]

Actually, I am not the kind of person who will feel so sad after losing in gambling, because just gamble the amount that I can afford to lose. but it is fact that it is also a little bit disappointed, I am sure that it is normal enough if we feel disappointed with the loss. But the most important thing is how we can control our emotions and disappointment at that time so that we will not feel stress, regret, and also sad enough.

Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

With all the effort of planning, setting a bankroll budget, and time limit, gamblers tend to bypass this plan and continue gambling.  It was said that Gamblers specifically compulsive gamblers don't just gamble for money.  Since compulsive gambling is a behavioral disorder that alters the brain[1], there are more varieties of reasons and motivations to gamble.

Most likely because if we lose then we will be more curious and challenged to try again and again. And our unfounded belief that we will win in the next turn. This is what happens if we can't control ourselves, then we will continue to feel that way and be unable to stop even after losing a lot.

Not the problem gambler, even the normal one feels like dying once after experiencing big loss. Most of the time user finds difficulty in accepting the loss. With time a gambler get used to it. Even I have got this thinking when I was a new gambler and experienced a big loss. Even now when I experience loss my close ones easily find something had gone wrong with me. So, there is some behavioural change once after losses.

Whoever that feel like dying when it is pressing which works in gambling look up in the person very well you will see that the person is not consistent gambling person because any average gambler I have the hope that two things will involve during gambling because why don't you merit it you lose it so that is what is involve in gambling soI believe that gambling is mainly meant for two things advantages and disadvantages so that is what gambling is all about so that is why believe . that's why  when I lose through gambling I don't have it in mind

I agree since money has great importance since it is needed in our daily lives.  So losing a huge sum of it is like losing our capability to survive in this world.  And if we are drained out of money then it will really feel like dying because we won't know how we can continue living if we are out of money especially when the date to pay the household bills are due and we have lost all the money on gambling.  Thinking of that kind of scenario makes me chills. LOL, so I think we better gamble responsibly to avoid such scenario.

So the main factor of gambling is allocating funds that can afford to lose, we realize that getting involved in gambling is very close to losing and many gamblers leave the online casino with losses. You are right, we have regular monthly expenses such as electricity bills, water and others so don't put more money in gambling if you don't want your monthly money needs to be lost in gambling bets.

I agree, we must only spend money that is free or we can afford to lose.  If we spend too much and lose too much, the outcome won't be favorable.  It will also be the start of frustrations, and stress due to the problem of having not enough money to spend for our daily needs, then we will succumb to borrowing money which often times has an interest.  It would be lucky for us to find people who put very little interest but that is rare.  Then the looping cycle of working, debt payment, and loaning starts.  This will put so much pressure and strain on us if we won't moderate our gambling activities.

No matter what I say about gambling casinos, very little will be said because when gambling When the amount of profit is more than the loss, the feelings of the mind are different. But last night Barcelona and Rayo Vallcano The middle match was a goalless draw last night and I lost about $190. So you can never imagine what will come and go on gambling side.

I just want to say thank you to the Center who produced this video.  Everyone was so kind to me.  I know what I only have myself to blame, but if this video helps someone realize their own addiction then it served a great purpose.  When I re-watch this video it makes me physically ill to remember where I was then.  Thank God I am in a better place.

Here is a photographic difference between a normal brain and an addicted brain.

I agree since money has great importance since it is needed in our daily lives.  So losing a huge sum of it is like losing our capability to survive in this world.  And if we are drained out of money then it will really feel like dying because we won't know how we can continue living if we are out of money especially when the date to pay the household bills are due and we have lost all the money on gambling.  Thinking of that kind of scenario makes me chills. LOL, so I think we better gamble responsibly to avoid such scenario.

So the main factor of gambling is allocating funds that can afford to lose, we realize that getting involved in gambling is very close to losing and many gamblers leave the online casino with losses. You are right, we have regular monthly expenses such as electricity bills, water and others so don't put more money in gambling if you don't want your monthly money needs to be lost in gambling bets.

However Gambling is more likely to lose than win, Casino visitors more often leave with an empty wallet than take home some money. Gambling will be a difficult disease to cure for someone whose monthly income is mediocre, the money that should be spent on electricity bills, water, family needs and others must be cut to be allocated for gambling. Gambling must be prepared to lose, should not be too greedy by hoping for a big win, because there is no guarantee of being able to bring home money after leaving the Casino.

[smartaction]

Now must of the people addicted in gambling . Especially young boys are more addicted to gambling. And now with the introduction of online casinos, everyone can play gambling from the comfort of their home . For this the influence of gambling is increasing day by day. When someone loses gambling and loses his money.  Then they try hard to recover that loss.  And they cannot quit their gambling addiction.  And keep losing more and more money.  Eventually they lost everything.

[lienfaye]

Only a fool would gamble if he had problems with his finances.

How can that fool be able to gamble if he is struggling with his finances?

Where they will get the money? How is it possible to finance their gambling activity?

It would be better if we rephrase the statement into:
"Only a fool would gamble if after losing big money, will continue to chase loses no matter what until no money left"

Well, that's actually pretty common here in my country.
Even with this poverty level people would still find a way to gamble regardless of the financial situation. But mostly, people that struggle financial are the ones who usually gambles a lot. Not in a casino, but with a traditional gambling from the neighborhood like Chinese poker, mahjong, and cock fighting. A person who struggles financially doesn't mean he can't gamble.

Unfortunately thats true. The one whose struggling in their finances have more guts to gamble because they want to double their money quick through gambling. You'll be curious to know why they're doing that despite their status and where did they get the money but I believe in the saying "If there's a will, there's a way" so there's a way to feed their habit/addiction.

Anyway, If a gambler lose and running out of money, its depressing, for some of us probably they will try to gather money again so they can chase their losses. Its hard to accept the losses especially if you're not prepared for it or the money you use is meant for important things. Thus its a must to know what you're getting into and you're prepared for the worse case that can happen.

Not only yong boy I had already sawn many teenage children are talking about cricket match ,football league for gamble . And especially nowadays, various gambling websites are promoted very attractively by various YouTubers or Facebook ads and the children who follow them are attracted to them.  Then for gambling money they get involved in various types of criminal activities at a young age and for gamble fund they are taking money without telling their parents.  I have also heard many news reports of many m**der about taking money after gambling losses.  I think this is not a positive side but if teenage children are addicted to gambling like this it will bring suffering to the future generation.

[fiulpro]

Well the problem gamblers do have a guilt of loosing therefore at the end they won't let it go just like that they will honestly try and win back as much as they can as well, which will eventually make them loose even more therefore this guilt trip will make them be in the loop without getting out of it as well.

Other than that some casinos might try and make the gamblers even more comfortable even after they might have lost immense amount of money 💰 by providing them either *free slots* or *free bets* or even giving them offers on *hotels* *drinks* etc. Therefore it's very different and as long as you are a problem gambler it's honestly a trap everywhere.

I will watch the links that you share one by one later after my work is done, I think this documentary is important for me personally, but what interests me right now is about photography of the difference between normal brain and addicted brain.
and this really took me by surprise, to be honest I don't have any idea so far regarding addiction, it's interesting for me to follow what you've researched so far.
your post is really useful for me personally although I haven't watched this link and I can't conclude anything yet. but thanks.

This is happening because of the advancement in technology . With the advancement of technology, gambling sites are coming to the market with new advantages day by day . Which is attracting the youth towards gambling . And gambling is slowly destroying the life of all gamblers.

No matter what I say about gambling casinos, very little will be said because when gambling When the amount of profit is more than the loss, the feelings of the mind are different. But last night Barcelona and Rayo Vallcano The middle match was a goalless draw last night and I lost about $190. So you can never imagine what will come and go on gambling side.

Sorry to hear that mate , you lose that amount in unexpected  way though gambling is indeed no place where to lose or when to win.

it is always normal to feel  bad or sad when losing , but remember to save when you win so everytime losses comes then you have another funds to try winning back the losses.

Here is a photographic difference between a normal brain and an addicted brain.

This picture can represent anything IMO. The pic on the left may seem like the brain is having increased activity while the one on the right isn't. I've watched a documentary somewhere that tackles about how the brain can emulate the brain activity of an addicted person during sleep. It's crazy that we know so much about how an addict's brain works, but not enough to discern why it is somehow similar to the brain activity of a person who's sleeping. All we know is, once the brain created new connections and created a new source of 'pleasure', it's difficult to undo those.

And what does it mean? Please, clarify for those who can't watch full video. From the what I see, some central parts of Joy's brain became "colder" . But the question is what this parts are responsible for.

But thx, when i'll see such tomographic picture, I ll know that this person is addicted

Well, this is a bit of a stretch but the conclusion that you made happens to some of the gamblers who consistently lose their control over their expenses.

The problem of gambling stems from its very nature- the 'high-risk, high-reward' type of scheme. People would constantly gamble away their resources in order to expect the hope of winning the jackpot, thus multiplying their initial bet. While this may seem attractive, most of the gamblers lose their way and eventually exhaust all of their resources without even winning the jackpot.

What most gamblers feel after they lose is that they either: (1) gamble again and hope that they would win this time; or (2) stop and call it a day.

As the title stated, I stumbled on an article[1] published way back in 2021 and wanted it to share with you in case anyone is interested in how a problem gambler's mind works after losing his bankroll.  It was stated that losing a huge amount of money is a sign that we must stop our gambling activity but...

Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

Gambling is a thing of luck that involves either a lost or gain. Because of the outcome in Gambling  is(lost & gain)even if one lose he would want to play again to see if their will be luck to win in a game. Gamblers believe  if they don't win today they might win tomorrow,  that's the patience Gamblers have.

That's the hope of winning next day which keeps on urging the gambler to keep on gambling despite being losing money every day. Gambling has too much attraction that it automatically becomes addition without people even knowing it.

To the OP question, we feel bad after losing in any field of life and gambling is no different. No one like losing but the ratio of losing in gambling is more.

Honestly, I think gambling activity is like a loop, whether we win or lose we tend to come back again and again.  If we win, we come back to win more, and if we lose, we might not admit that we chase our losses but for sure, we come back to try our chance again.  Just like the loop, we can't stop until we break that loop and that is stopping our gambling activities.

I can't say if I feel bad if ever I lose, there is a small sign of regret but it is just a temporary feeling because it will be gone after a minute or two probably because I always play with the money that I can afford to lose.

Join Community, are most people addicted to gambling because they are anti-social people? It's not easy to change the habits of a person who doesn't have a social life and then join a community for any reason, especially if that person is already addicted.
Feelings will be even more depressed when the money used is completely exhausted because don't have the money to go back to chasing what have lost.

Do we have counseling sessions for gamblers where they are taught how to control their risk, and how to control their emotions after a loss or a win? No, we don't have.

How can we expect the majority of gamblers to behave like a professional and not regret or chase losses when there is no governing body to teach them? We don't provide any sort of tutorials to gamblers and accept them to be clever and intelligent enough to solve all their problems on their own.

It's more on self-admission. Once they admit it, they will be given proper treatment by the medical practitioners that are intended to help them. And with the assistance of their family and friends, the treatment becomes easier and faster for them. But i don't think they will gamble again after that, but if they still do that, i guess they should be responsible gamblers and only gamble in moderation.

Behavioral addiction generally does not have a complete cure. Gambling is one of those bad habits that are difficult to get rid of as long as a person is able to play just by owning a smart phone and a private place away from the eyes of others that can embarrass him by monitoring, whether it is in private treatment centers or among family members who want to support him.
The best way, in my opinion, is to fill his time entirely with other activities such as sports and running a business .

[PX-Z]

It will be always fun ^{(temporarily)} with regret later on, especially if your last bet was to double all your balance coz you feel lucky and yet lost in the end on that bet. This is what i always feel after lossing lol.
Fortunately, it doesnt happen like that always

It is hard to admit that you are a gambling addict. No one wants to be recognized as a addict because there are stigmas attached to it. The good thing is that they have recognized it as a problem and they thought of proper treatment. But in my opinion, there should be more awareness about gambling addiction as well as a support system for those addicted. Gamblers have psychological disorders, which affect their ability to make right decisions. Problem gamblers may have a hard time in accepting their addiction because they believe that there is nothing wrong with their behavior. They think they are just having fun and they are in control of their actions. But in reality, it is a problem if you do not know when to stop.

[kotajikikox]

People who play gambling, of course, will feel disappointed and sad if they experience defeat at the gambling table.

but we must agreed that we expect losing that winning because that is the reality in gambling .

But the disappointment will probably vary, especially for gamblers who use a lot of money.

well , if you bring so much money in gambling and lose? that will prove how irresponsible you are because  imagine you already have lot of money yet you still gamble ? that is greedy mate.

And for gamblers who don't use a lot of money, it may not feel like it.
Also, addicted gamblers will not feel any negative feelings but may want to recover from that loss another day.

addicted gamblers are mostly the one who always felt the negativity because that is how it works lol.

But it's natural for us to get that negative feeling if we lose because we can feel sad about losing money at the gambling table.

maybe if you truly understand the call of gambling ? maybe you will have different approach .

[BobK71]

When a gambler bets on gambling, he is optimistic that he will win. But when he loses he becomes more depressed socially he cannot easily adopt himself in the society and the society also looks at him different ‍angel. Such situations happen especially those who are addicted and  lose everything in gambling.

Using all the balance for the last bet is not recommended because there is no guarantee that we can win from gambling games. If we lose, we have to deposit some more money to play at a later date and that will make us repeat it over and over again. We should know ourselves and stop if we have had several defeats or wins because that is enough for us to play gambling and continue it again another day. It will also be a way to limit our use of money and avoid big losses.

Yes, it is for this reason that when a person is addicted to gambling, he has to realize for himself that he has this problem, and that he has to attack the problem as quickly as possible, since that way he avoids many unpleasant things coming to him. in your life, you can even avoid misfortunes.

If a person does not want to admit that he is addicted, he must have friends, or at least colleagues whose duty it is to tell them about his problem, partly if there are people who are good by his side, they will tell him and at least comply with telling him, Otherwise, they will contribute so that the person's life becomes increasingly difficult, it is best to quickly attack the addiction problem.

When a gambler bets on gambling, he is optimistic that he will win. But when he loses he becomes more depressed socially he cannot easily adopt himself in the society and the society also looks at him different ‍angel. Such situations happen especially those who are addicted and  lose everything in gambling.

Yes, in part you are very right for what you say, but people who are like that clearly have a big problem with their strength, and it can also be inferred that they are people who have very low self-esteem, a player knows that when they are in In a casino, losses are much more likely and safer when playing than winning, society itself does not contribute much to a person in particular, so win or lose, they will always see it badly, if you win, society will congratulate you, but always There will be feelings of envy and hypocrisy, if you lose people will see you in the same way, since they can give you support but inside they are happy, so a player like a trader should take losses as something normal and not for the sake of giving shame.

It will also be a way to limit our use of money and avoid big losses.

I agree, in fact, not all people think the same, but in my case when I play, I always allocate a balance totally willing to lose, and I do not put or take away a single dollar more, I think that when one is left with more desire to play and there is no more money because the biggest mistake is to make more money to play, because at least for me, I would be breaking my own rules and it is most likely that I will lose that money that I was not willing to lose, this is something that results to be very serious, that it was not in my plans and that it would obviously lose control of what I was willing to have as money "outside the game" and I would have to compensate for that void, which for me would become a great annoyance.

Now must of the people addicted in gambling . Especially young boys are more addicted to gambling. And now with the introduction of online casinos, everyone can play gambling from the comfort of their home . For this the influence of gambling is increasing day by day. When someone loses gambling and loses his money.  Then they try hard to recover that loss.  And they cannot quit their gambling addiction.  And keep losing more and more money.  Eventually they lost everything.

Not only yong boy I had already sawn many teenage children are talking about cricket match ,football league for gamble . And especially nowadays, various gambling websites are promoted very attractively by various YouTubers or Facebook ads and the children who follow them are attracted to them.  Then for gambling money they get involved in various types of criminal activities at a young age and for gamble fund they are taking money without telling their parents.  I have also heard many news reports of many m**der about taking money after gambling losses.  I think this is not a positive side but if teenage children are addicted to gambling like this it will bring suffering to the future generation.

Teenagers are attracted by the myth of making easy money quickly in gambling. Adults are also attracted by this, but remember yourself as a teenager and you will immediately understand what I mean. That is why they are easily involved in betting and quickly become addicted. Attempts to restrict teenagers from gambling at the legislative level seem futile to me, since any of them can play online casinos from a smartphone that everyone now has. And I agree that there is nothing good in this, both for teenagers and their loved ones, and for the whole society as a whole. I have no idea what to do about it, but if you hear more and more about gambling addiction of both adults and teenagers, then the problem is only growing and accumulating.

Gambling is a way to get rich in a short time.  So it attracts more people age of 20-40 years.  Because people of this age are more inclined towards money.  Then they get greedy and waste their hard-earned money by gamble. And they lose gambling and go into depression.  Which creates turmoil in their family.

[serjent05]

Gambling is a way to get rich in a short time.  

This is proven to be a myth.  There is no guarantee that gambling can make us rich in a short time.  It is more guaranteed that we may suffer a huge financial loss in a short time if we failed to gamble responsibly.

So it attracts more people age of 20-40 years.  Because people of this age are more inclined towards money.  Then they get greedy and waste their hard-earned money by gamble. And they lose gambling and go into depression.  Which creates turmoil in their family.

Indeed the belief that gambling is a rich quick scheme attracts so many people since money is indeed enticing.  But it is a trap, because later they will find out that gambling isn't a rich quick scheme but a gaming system that can take all our assets if we are not careful in engaging with it.

We can't commonly term gambling as a way to get rich. It needs to be very specific, which means gambling is way to get rich for the luckiest. The age group between 20-40 have big commitments and the same makes people risk their hard earned money. Many people have made fortune out of gambling, for the same we should not believe it to come with is.

Its never been consider as a get rich quick thing but there's always the chance or odds but we know that it is close to impossible and despite of the chance or low odds which people do really pursue and pushing

themselves on hitting that right spot and this is where it do really creates out that kind of desperation which we know that it is really not something good whenever you do make involvement with gambling.

Speaking of losing and the feeling that it do gives then as a human being then we would really get annoyed and frustrated at the same time.Whether you do completely stop or would in rage
on spending out more and trying out to chase losses which is really a very wrong action to be made.

It's almost the same sickness as beginner traders of crypto feel to be fair, they feel like if they got lucky then it's a really easy way to get rich, but the thing is, it's called "lucky" for a reason. Not to mention that if we saw the said luck in social media being announced then here's a surprise (not really), media news only announce positive news, they don't really say 1 out of xxxx amount but rather just the amount of winners/lucky people.

Gambling is thought of as a way to get rich in a short time.  So it attracts more people age of 20-40 years.  Because people of this age are more inclined towards money.  Then they get greedy and waste their hard-earned money by gamble.

There, corrected it for you. It's never a guaranteed method. It's only a (hopeful) thought of most people who get into gambling.

It will be always fun ^{(temporarily)} with regret later on, especially if your last bet was to double all your balance coz you feel lucky and yet lost in the end on that bet. This is what i always feel after lossing lol.
Fortunately, it doesnt happen like that always

recently i feel this , but in trading not on gambling table. i put my 20% on my futures trade , i am so confidence with my analisys and take it as one shoot trade, unfortunately it become loss and my account liquidated. regret will come after , and refresh my mind after this accident was not easy. take long time to could accept it.

Losing losing in gambling losing of money so when you losing that money is very clear that you wont to be happy because it is your money that you lose. That is why gambling should be done into decision whether you lose the money for the gambling or you again by winning the gambling so I don't feel any sad. Because playing gambling I have made up my mind but I will lose or I will profit from the gambling so these two things are what example are supposed to have in mind

Of course, after a person loses a game of gambling, his mentality is very bad. A different mentality works in him then.Then some people decide that they will never gamble again, but later it is seen that they are the first to gamble and go further.Gambling is a very serious addiction that once people get into, they can't get out easily.Gambling always awakens greed in people's minds and people cannot give up gambling because of this greed.

Using all the balance for the last bet is not recommended because there is no guarantee that we can win from gambling games. If we lose, we have to deposit some more money to play at a later date and that will make us repeat it over and over again. We should know ourselves and stop if we have had several defeats or wins because that is enough for us to play gambling and continue it again another day. It will also be a way to limit our use of money and avoid big losses.

Sometimes I do the same thing only if my remaining balance is small enough like it's less than 5% of my starting bankroll so it'd be better to quickly end the session and go all in than slowly burn my bankroll even further. I agree it's not the best thing to do but not all gamblers repeat the same strategy when it doesn't work at least that's how it is for me.

but we must agreed that we expect losing that winning because that is the reality in gambling .

Also, it's better to have that type of expectation while gambling so you don't experience bitter feelings after the session.

Chasing a loss because of being overtaken by emotion is one of the leading cause of continuous failed attempts to win. I believe feeling down is the initial response of most people who lose their bets. After all, its a natural human response. Being sad or depressed because of wasted money into a bet most especially if it's a big amount could be hard to not think about. Which is why most gamblers chase their losses thinking they could eventually win back their losses.

Unfortunately, most often than not, those who have unbalanced emotions and not in the right mental headspace tend to lose more and more instead of winning back their losses. This cycle tends to go around, repeating in circles till they don't have money to gamble anymore. The cycle of continuous chase can be broken only if the gambler is willing and determined to change for the better.

Gambling is a way to get rich in a short time.  So it attracts more people age of 20-40 years.  Because people of this age are more inclined towards money.  Then they get greedy and waste their hard-earned money by gamble. And they lose gambling and go into depression.  Which creates turmoil in their family.

We can't commonly term gambling as a way to get rich. It needs to be very specific, which means gambling is way to get rich for the luckiest. The age group between 20-40 have big commitments and the same makes people risk their hard earned money. Many people have made fortune out of gambling, for the same we should not believe it to come with is.

I would say that the people that have made a fortune in gambling are basically the owners and stock holders of the casinos.

The math is pretty clear, and it's in favor of the casino.

A gambler can get lucky here and there, but if they continue gambling, they will end up losing the money to the casino eventually. The math is all you need to understand this.

We should know ourselves and stop if we have had several defeats or wins because that is enough for us to play gambling and continue it again another day. It will also be a way to limit our use of money and avoid big losses.

I agree, in fact, not all people think the same, but in my case when I play, I always allocate a balance totally willing to lose, and I do not put or take away a single dollar more, I think that when one is left with more desire to play and there is no more money because the biggest mistake is to make more money to play, because at least for me, I would be breaking my own rules and it is most likely that I will lose that money that I was not willing to lose, this is something that results to be very serious, that it was not in my plans and that it would obviously lose control of what I was willing to have as money "outside the game" and I would have to compensate for that void, which for me would become a great annoyance.

That's true and I also agree with what you said. I also try not to put down even another dollar if I've already lost that day. It would have been better for me if I had just stopped gambling and left the casino because if I had stayed, I might have deposited more money and continued playing, which would have violated the limits I had set. We want to play gambling but we also have to be able to limit ourselves in playing gambling and don't let us be controlled by gambling because there is no guarantee that we will win several times. The defeat after defeat that we get should be enough to warn us that we have played enough gambling and then we must stop immediately.

If many gamblers realize this, they will not force their desire to continue gambling but will leave gambling before the money runs out. But the temptation of gambling can make us forget that what we are doing is enough at gambling and there is no need to spend more money if only to recover from previous losses. Ending a gambling session is not easy because of the pressure from within us to recover losses or to get more wins and therefore self-control is the most important thing to help us stop gambling.

I think often problem gamblers are crafted/created/produced in rather poor societies. In some countries gambling is just fun of rich (Monaco or Cyprus obviously). But in some countries (or people from some countries) are using gambling to become richer. So they see gambling wins as income. I think this idea is definitely damaging your mental health. Gambling is a fun of risking money to get pleasure of winning and more money. That's it.

[madnessteat]

I think it is better for poor people not to gamble because they can not correctly calculate their risks because they do not have enough education in the financial sector. They try to beat the system which has an advantage over them and when they don't succeed they look around for the culprits. So I would advise them to improve their education and find a stable job first and only then play gambling.

In the short, medium and long term, it is clear that gambling can damage the mental health of people who want to make money from gambling because they do not see the potential risk of addiction to gambling. If rich people in some developed countries gamble, it's probably because that's how they socialize with their friends while discussing business.

But if people otherwise use gambling to make money, they can only dream of getting it even though a small percentage of them get it. But they don't see how they will react if they lose at gambling, which can put them in a prolonged depression.

I noticed this myself when travelling through South America a few years ago. In almost any country I went there was a state lottery where a lot of people played and talked about it. It was like a highlight of the week when the numbers came out. And then there were a lot of scratch card places where I saw often people wait in line to get new cards. It felt completely different to the lottery environment here in Europe. We do sometimes have hypes here as well, but they are rare and only happen for the Christmas lottery or big jackpots. And I rarely see people here doing scratch cards anymore. What surprised me was that there wasn't a lot of advertising for gambling, it must have spread through people talking to each other. It also seemed like the amount of money people used for gambling was higher as a percentage of their salary. This might be the case due to lacking opportunities to get out of poverty in those poor countries. Spending some money each week gives the small chance to become rich overnight, even if these small amounts each week add up to large sums over the years.

[Yawa2020]

I experience this all the way in a land base casino "Post-Loss Speeding", I will quickly bet higher on the next game, whether it's slot or card games such as baccarat. It's because of the frustrations of the previous results, maybe because I made the wrong bet or I'm thinking of doubling my bet in a slot machine or going down, and then that bonus happens. So frustrating and that I'm made that I will bet bigger to somewhat compensate what I have lost, but it is wrong, it's just pure emotions running on me for during that.

This is the exact problem most of us are having when it comes to gambling. Aiming higher after lose and this time with high level of confidence on winning but eventually lose more. I see this as a kind of possession that has captured almost all of us gambling and its abnormal to be sincere with ourselves. At times, I ponder why is it general?

[TopTort777]

I have noticed, that after loosing, or loosing some bets in a row, I usually set the amount of my balance I try to reach, when I be ready to say "it is enough for today". And that is what stimulates me to gamble or continue loosing. I always end with thinking, why did I continue playing, why didnt I stop after X bet or after loosing Y. Anyway, after losing balance, I often imagine how else I could have spent  amount lose, or what I could have bought for that amount.

Well that's actually our emotions taking over, and so our decision are clouded and it seems we can't control ourselves even if we say that enough is enough. This is the case even if we are in a winning or losing, we keep on going on, until we realized that it's too late, no more money to play and they blame ourselves for not stopping that early when we still have the money. And that thing is that it's very hard to control, or at least our logic mind come to senses and we completely stop.

[yazher]

I think the saying for gambling is not to rest until your money is exhausted and I think it is worst if you have gone out of your way to borrow money because you keep playing and chasing your losses to pay back but the harder you try to regain, the more difficult it is to get your money back. An addict never sees anything wrong when he losses , he feels the next game is his turn to win but never get to win and will not quit playing. In the past I have also experienced this kind of behaviour but was able to reduce the level of participation because I was not deeply involved into it.

I agree about when they decide to borrow money to regain their losses is the worse thing to do because they're not only gambling with their money but they are gambling with someone's money and we all know, that no one will gonna give a loan to the gamblers unless they put some non-sense terms about the money they need to pay and the gambler won't really care about that because all in his mind is the motivation to play again. Most of the time this happened in some 3rd world countries where people have less option but to take loans to those loansharks.

[wiss19]

Gambling is a thing of luck that involves either a lost or gain. Because of the outcome in Gambling  is(lost & gain)even if one lose he would want to play again to see if their will be luck to win in a game. Gamblers believe  if they don't win today they might win tomorrow,  that's the patience Gamblers have.

If it's casino games yes most of them only needs a luck to win but a few also requires a skill in order be successful. The urge to win is indeed one of the things on why a gambler will come back and play again but this should be done in schedule because if not well it can cost you a lot of money and it can affect your life because you will only play gambling and forget about other things which are more important.

A problematic gambler will feel really bad and feel that their problems are only adding up and the reason why they play is they think it will give them a relief but it would be better if they faced their real problems as that is the only way to solve it.

So I would advise them to improve their education and find a stable job first and only then play gambling.

Those who are still struggling financially, or rather categorized as poor people, will cause problems after problems when they are familiar with gambling. They bet only for a win, when they are in a losing state, 77 percent of them will do something disgraceful just to get back to the gambling place.
Poor people bet only to enrich themselves by hoping for a fortune to get some money, but they forget that there is very little potential for victory against the system.
It is necessary to educate gamblers in order to control their emotions, gamblers need to thoroughly study the prospects of the financial condition that will be spent so that they do not regret when luck does not come their way.

[Daltonik]

Yes, many gamblers, it seems to me, are forced to return to the game simply out of desperation, when circumstances develop in such a way that it would seem there is no other way out of the situation in which they have driven themselves, it's like taking out a loan and losing their job.

[Dart18]

Chasing the losses had always been the main problem for me, before and even until now.
It's not something that can be controlled. If you want your money back you go bet more and you don't stop until you tie up the losses.
Once I tried to neglect it, went straight home and try to forget but it will keep on coming back to you and won't let you sleep.
You'd rather just play it than be on that condition where you are literally gritting your teeth to go back and play.

[gabbie2010]

The experience that comes after one loses a game is one that I can't explain,it a feeling that goes beyond pain,especially when one plays with a very high amount.One can feel like giving up on life,commiting suicide,hurting anyone around,and better still feel like robbing to replace the money lost.So many people have giving up on life as a result of gambling,lost hopes and gone astray,but it is advisable to gamble bearing in mind that anything can happen,either winning,or losing.

I feel unmoved after losing some money in gambling because I gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose, infact yesterday I bet Liverpool to win against Crystal Palace accumulated it with 4 other matches unfortunately Liverpool drew their match whereas the other 4 bets was won, unfortunately lost the bet, I felt it's normal with gambling it's either lose or win, I believe gamblers who bet with huge amount of money and lost tend to experience bad feelings ranging from depression, aggressiveness, bad feelings etc thus gambling is not for everyone, if someone is not psychological balance such a person should desist from gambling.

[virasog]

Now must of the people addicted in gambling . Especially young boys are more addicted to gambling. And now with the introduction of online casinos, everyone can play gambling from the comfort of their home . For this the influence of gambling is increasing day by day. When someone loses gambling and loses his money.  Then they try hard to recover that loss.  And they cannot quit their gambling addiction.  And keep losing more and more money.  Eventually they lost everything.

Not only yong boy I had already sawn many teenage children are talking about cricket match ,football league for gamble . And especially nowadays, various gambling websites are promoted very attractively by various YouTubers or Facebook ads and the children who follow them are attracted to them.  Then for gambling money they get involved in various types of criminal activities at a young age and for gamble fund they are taking money without telling their parents.  I have also heard many news reports of many m**der about taking money after gambling losses.  I think this is not a positive side but if teenage children are addicted to gambling like this it will bring suffering to the future generation.

This is happening because of the advancement in technology . With the advancement of technology, gambling sites are coming to the market with new advantages day by day . Which is attracting the youth towards gambling . And gambling is slowly destroying the life of all gamblers.

Gambling sites are offering offers that are hard to resist but still gamblers should know that they are playing gambling and there is no guarantee and surely of a win in gambling. So if anyone is getting attracted to gambling without knowing the consequences of gambling, then i am afraid it is the gambler's fault.
A true gambler will not feel bad because he already knows that gambling is a mixture of wins and losses.

That's a martingale strategy right there, where everyone thought it's a good strategy but eventually it is not.
A lot of gamblers are actually doing this, to make the lossing bets even. What if you keep lossing? Then guess what, you're lossing double or multiple times faster than your usual phase when you start betting with such amount.
I've personally have done this many times before when I was still single and still have time and extra money to gamble. Sometimes it work, sometimes it didn't. But in the long run, we were the one's who really lost.

I somehow agree to what you've said that in most poor societies, people there think short term and quick in terms of having money. They tend to look at gambling as part of the solution for their poverty but the actual of it is that they're stuck with that mindset and it's hard to break that norm for them. It is true that the mental health on this matter is going to be vital for those people that have been thinking as if gambling is the only way for them to get out of poverty.

When we are just still a noob then the most common strategy that we do might able to make use of and im guilty into this one on where i do really believe that i could really make easy profits on using this
strategy but sooner or later you would really be busting up yourself on using this strategy or simply not really that worth.If you do know on when to get out when you are in greens then its good but if
you do leave this automation for longer runs then expect that you would really be blowing up your capital in the most fastest way as possible.
When losing then it would really be just normal for us to have that reaction which would really be sad and disappointed.

The point is to be able to control playing gambling, if you are ambitious, it is possible only defeat will come. like what I do when I play gambling, if I get enough from the results of the bet, I go out of the house to do a fresh brain or other things to do other work that is not related to gambling. many people become victims of big defeats playing gambling as our self-introspection

Even at defeat, there are gamblers that won't accept defeat and what they want is to take time again and try to get as much losses as they can.
That's why it's not just all about the losses but also the pride that seems to be taken from them because sometimes, even you know that the game is hard to defeat, it's making you think through emotions that you can do it.

that's called so greedy. Gambling is actually can't be predicted and it was also depend on our luck. yeah that kind of gambler will always using all of available resource to make another bet until he will have nothing to be used for gamble. Controlling the emotion was the most difficult case.
The fact that if so many gamblers are not able controlling their emotions and this lead them to the big losses. I have my friend was always doing even more when he was suffering some lose caused by he was feeling curious if he was winning the bet.
I will never ever do that.

Indeed. There are gamblers that really don't like to accept losses because of ego and pride. These gamblers are typically the ones who frequent loss because they let their emotion overtake their way of thinking. Instead of being rational, they tend to be very emotional. They often have the urge to make up their losses even if it means going overboard. Having this kind of mindset could really get you lost in gambling and could probably lead you into unpleasant situations such as being bankrupt and developing anger management issues or even depression.

Hence, it's really important to be prepared well-enough first before deciding to enter and try gambling. Because gambling can corrupt you in the process if you're not firm enough about your principles. Addiction is the most common problem in gambling. And most people knew that already. Every person planning to try and make a bet must be disciplined and firm on his initial standpoint. Financial aspect is the one at the greatest risk in gambling, health aspect could be affected too as well as the way we treat other people and how we view life in general.

Simply put there are many bad losers out there not only in gambling but in everything in life, it is not odd at all to play a game with another person and if you happen to beat them they get in a terrible mood and they could even get aggressive with you, when that happens I never play with those people again as they cannot simply accept defeat, however a casino is not like that, and if you go against them hundreds of time they will respond to your challenge each time which will result in a loss of money way higher than what that person was planning at the beginning of his gambling session.

[len01]

Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

i want to add a little analysis from gamblers in my city


• consider gambling as a source of daily income

in my city, it is currently a trend to play slot gambling in the higgs domino game. they play slot just to expect to get chips from the jackpot in large quantities and to sell them to friends around them in need. because in the higgs domino game it can send chips between fellow users and the price is 1b $ 5.
but strangely, people in my city think that before getting the jackpot in the slot they have to buy a chip of 5b as slot playing capital to get the jackpot. they think after they buy chips worth 5b they will get the jackpot but it turns out that it is not a guarantee of getting the jackpot and when the 5b runs out they will continue to buy chips and always hope to get a big jackpot and be able to sell the chips for daily income. even though if it is calculated from the amount of the deposit and getting the jackpot, it is not comparable.

from my story, i conclude that there are still many gamblers who consider gambling as a source of daily income without realizing that they always spend money every day.

Yes, in this regard a casino is the perfect place to gamble where no one will have any problem every time you win. Many people could not bear that which used to happen if they lost many times when playing against someone. But nowadays everyone is safe in this aspect if they are gambling in a good casino. There won't be anything for anyone even if they win millions of dollars.

And especially nowadays, various gambling websites are promoted very attractively by various YouTubers or Facebook ads and the children who follow them are attracted to them.  Then for gambling money they get involved in various types of criminal activities at a young age and for gamble fund they are taking money without telling their parents.  I have also heard many news reports of many m**der about taking money after gambling losses.  I think this is not a positive side but if teenage children are addicted to gambling like this it will bring suffering to the future generation.

This is happening because of the advancement in technology . With the advancement of technology, gambling sites are coming to the market with new advantages day by day . Which is attracting the youth towards gambling . And gambling is slowly destroying the life of all gamblers.

Gambling sites are offering offers that are hard to resist but still gamblers should know that they are playing gambling and there is no guarantee and surely of a win in gambling. So if anyone is getting attracted to gambling without knowing the consequences of gambling, then i am afraid it is the gambler's fault.
A true gambler will not feel bad because he already knows that gambling is a mixture of wins and losses.

no one can guarantee winner for any casino games . But gamblers always think that by gambling they will win and get big money and become rich. This greed lures them to gambling again and again . But gambling never brings anything good. But suddenly some lucky person hits the big jackpot but this is rare

I think often problem gamblers are crafted/created/produced in rather poor societies. In some countries gambling is just fun of rich (Monaco or Cyprus obviously). But in some countries (or people from some countries) are using gambling to become richer. So they see gambling wins as income. I think this idea is definitely damaging your mental health. Gambling is a fun of risking money to get pleasure of winning and more money. That's it.

I somehow agree to what you've said that in most poor societies, people there think short term and quick in terms of having money. They tend to look at gambling as part of the solution for their poverty but the actual of it is that they're stuck with that mindset and it's hard to break that norm for them. It is true that the mental health on this matter is going to be vital for those people that have been thinking as if gambling is the only way for them to get out of poverty.

It was because they saw how gambling could help their friends to earn money in the short term so they were interested in trying it. Their circumstances are forcing them to try harder at making money; many are already trying to make money from many things. And after they try and lose, they will feel more depressed because they have lost money that they could have used to buy daily necessities. Maybe every gambler's feelings will be very different, depending on how much money they spend. The more money that is used, there may be a sadder feeling than other gamblers.

Even experienced players get upset when they lose, but they know it's inevitable. And for a person who is just getting acquainted with gambling, it will be much more difficult to lose, because perhaps for him, at the very beginning, gambling was perceived as an opportunity to earn money, but in the end he lost money. Then there will be a period of searching for a working strategy and, as a result, a further loss of funds, everyone in gambling goes this way.

I agree there is no guarantee that a player can win in gambling.  All he do is hope for the chance that the next spin or wager will produce a huge win especially slots player and those who are playing in jackpot games.  They will spend a lot of money and got depresses when they do not hit the jackpot or win in a casino.

Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

i want to add a little analysis from gamblers in my city


• consider gambling as a source of daily income

in my city, it is currently a trend to play slot gambling in the higgs domino game. they play slot just to expect to get chips from the jackpot in large quantities and to sell them to friends around them in need. because in the higgs domino game it can send chips between fellow users and the price is 1b $ 5.
but strangely, people in my city think that before getting the jackpot in the slot they have to buy a chip of 5b as slot playing capital to get the jackpot. they think after they buy chips worth 5b they will get the jackpot but it turns out that it is not a guarantee of getting the jackpot and when the 5b runs out they will continue to buy chips and always hope to get a big jackpot and be able to sell the chips for daily income. even though if it is calculated from the amount of the deposit and getting the jackpot, it is not comparable.

from my story, i conclude that there are still many gamblers who consider gambling as a source of daily income without realizing that they always spend money every day.

I know a person that do this kind of thing, selling casino points for hotel accommodation, food, and other services the casino offers.  They look for players that has no cards and ask if they can insert their card for points.

Certainly, emotions are an integral part of human nature, but even after a big loss, you do not need to give in to despair. You need to carefully weigh your strength and decide whether to continue gambling or stop it. Losing is completely normal, because the percentage of losses significantly exceeds the percentage of wins. Unfortunately, not all people can cope with the feeling of loss and disappointment.

When you deposit some money to play gambling, that's when you can actually be sure that your money will be drained out. The phenomenon that is often experienced by gamblers is that they only win briefly and then they will lose again and again, which is why there are no dealers who fall into poverty because they manage the gambling business.
The bookies are just like you, they also want to always win. But your hope of winning is false, while the bookies are 100% sure to win. That is why different stories always happen to gamblers, ranging from depreciation even to her life is starting to fall apart due to losing gambling.

[Hispo]

...Unfortunately, not all people can cope with the feeling of loss and disappointment.

In order for dissapointment to exist it is necessary people have some expectations in the beginning, otherwise they would not feel that way after losing money. That is why I have read some people around here saying that gambling should be considered a kind of entertainment by players instead a way to actually earn money.

In my opinion this is why I believe every new gambler should try faucet casinos instead depositing their own money and gamble it away, so they can sacrifice hours of their time in order to get some spins on slot machines and have an idea of how random those kind of games are and can set their expectation to a healthy level before depositing their own money, I believe that would save some people from many problems caused by loss chasing and disappointment.

[Shamm]

You need to carefully weigh your strength and decide whether to continue gambling or stop it. Losing is completely normal because the percentage of losses significantly exceeds the percentage of wins. Unfortunately, not all people can cope with the feeling of loss and disappointment.

It's easy to say that lossess is normal or part of human nature but if you are in the stage you are a gambling addict you can feel different because if you win then the mood is happy and your mind is full of goodness but if you lose we can not control our self to not take gambling anymore. But once you are addicted enough you will make a way to get back all your losses. so instead of leaving or stop for a while in gambling you will greedy to gamble again and again until you win.

It was because they saw how gambling could help their friends to earn money in the short term so they were interested in trying it.

And after they try and lose, they will feel more depressed because they have lost money that they could have used to buy daily necessities. Maybe every gambler's feelings will be very different, depending on how much money they spend. The more money that is used, there may be a sadder feeling than other gamblers.

It was a fact that they can earn quickly but that's the only thing that they can see. But the other side of it, they're missing the whole point and many will always say that it's not a way of earning for most because only a few can stand to the test of time and will survive if they use it as a main source of income. The whole point of feeling bad after losing will depend on the gambler because if that frustration is staying and there's no way to mend that feeling, it's going to stay there and it could be worst if the gambler will try to recover it but the outcome will be having more losses.

[blockman]

Even at defeat, there are gamblers that won't accept defeat and what they want is to take time again and try to get as much losses as they can.
That's why it's not just all about the losses but also the pride that seems to be taken from them because sometimes, even you know that the game is hard to defeat, it's making you think through emotions that you can do it.

that's called so greedy. Gambling is actually can't be predicted and it was also depend on our luck. yeah that kind of gambler will always using all of available resource to make another bet until he will have nothing to be used for gamble. Controlling the emotion was the most difficult case.
The fact that if so many gamblers are not able controlling their emotions and this lead them to the big losses. I have my friend was always doing even more when he was suffering some lose caused by he was feeling curious if he was winning the bet.
I will never ever do that.

That's the sad truth for those types of gamblers that can't accept defeat, they really are likely to spend every resource that they have until they recover.
But, it's all just in their minds, and recovery from such a big loss is hard to achieve because as you've said gambling is unpredictable and those who try hard will keep losing, financially and emotionally.

[rby]

There is thre different types of behaviour for thre categories of gamblers.
1. For gambler who gambles for entertainment, this type of gambler does not gamble with big money since he is more concerned with happiness more than money.

2. A good gambler but not an addict, this type of gambler feels so bad after lossing money and may feel depressed and this gambler might stop gambling after losing big money.

3. An addict, this type of gambler is used to winning and lossing to the extent that if he losses, he will see it as a sign that big winning is on the way.

True, this type of gambler is very selfish, they are not ready to accept defeat. In fact, gambling is like a double edged sword, winning and losing. Professional gamblers also experience defeat very often and such conditions have often been experienced by any gambler.
When you decide to gamble, be prepared to accept defeat. There is no need to blame anyone for the recent defeat, because defeat is a risk that gamblers must accept.

Real gamblers that have been into this activity for so long understand the importance of how it feels like as they gamble. They should pay attention to themselves so that it won't be them that shall attack their own emotions and acceptance is one key for them to realize that they have to control it better than they do before.

Here is a photographic difference between a normal brain and an addicted brain.

And what does it mean? Please, clarify for those who can't watch full video. From the what I see, some central parts of Joy's brain became "colder" . But the question is what this parts are responsible for.

But thx, when i'll see such tomographic picture, I ll know that this person is addicted 

I am not a medical person but a good explanation can be found in this article[1].  That part is the reward center of the brain.[2]

There is thre different types of behaviour for thre categories of gamblers.
1. For gambler who gambles for entertainment, this type of gambler does not gamble with big money since he is more concerned with happiness more than money.

2. A good gambler but not an addict, this type of gambler feels so bad after lossing money and may feel depressed and this gambler might stop gambling after losing big money.

3. An addict, this type of gambler is used to winning and lossing to the extent that if he losses, he will see it as a sign that big winning is on the way.

I think this fall to type of gambler, as far as I know there are 7 type of gambler and it is explained here.[3]

They aren't selfish, they are too generous because they are giving away their money.  Not accepting defeat is not a good definition of selfish.  They maybe persistent.  But in gambling terms, they are addicted since they keep on chasing losses until they run out of resources.

Whenever you do make yourself on some involvement in things specially it do involves money with that kind of activity then it would really be that prone into that emotion thing since we dont really love nor like to lose

money which means whenever we do lost then that would definitely affect out mainly our emotions and when that happens then decisions will really be greatly affected and the worst you would really be losing your

self awareness on different situations or conditions that you are into thats why its really that important to have that good control and self awareness on actions or things
you been dealing with so that you wont really be ending up on those mistakes.

[Zackgeno96]

Maybe problem gamblers will feel it less in the long run. if you're a problem gambler it means you've lost significant amounts of money many times before, I think you'll eventually learn to deal with that, although of course you'll continue to feel it every time you lose money. Often there are immediate intentions to stop once and for all, but if you feel like gambling again the next few days, that promise is gone like snow in the sun. That is how it goes usually.

Now must of the people addicted in gambling . Especially young boys are more addicted to gambling. And now with the introduction of online casinos, everyone can play gambling from the comfort of their home . For this the influence of gambling is increasing day by day. When someone loses gambling and loses his money.  Then they try hard to recover that loss.  And they cannot quit their gambling addiction.  And keep losing more and more money.  Eventually they lost everything.

Not only yong boy I had already sawn many teenage children are talking about cricket match ,football league for gamble . And especially nowadays, various gambling websites are promoted very attractively by various YouTubers or Facebook ads and the children who follow them are attracted to them.  Then for gambling money they get involved in various types of criminal activities at a young age and for gamble fund they are taking money without telling their parents.  I have also heard many news reports of many m**der about taking money after gambling losses.  I think this is not a positive side but if teenage children are addicted to gambling like this it will bring suffering to the future generation.

This is happening because of the advancement in technology . With the advancement of technology, gambling sites are coming to the market with new advantages day by day . Which is attracting the youth towards gambling . And gambling is slowly destroying the life of all gamblers.

Gambling sites are offering offers that are hard to resist but still gamblers should know that they are playing gambling and there is no guarantee and surely of a win in gambling. So if anyone is getting attracted to gambling without knowing the consequences of gambling, then i am afraid it is the gambler's fault.

But gambling never brings anything good. But suddenly some lucky person hits the big jackpot but this is rare

As far as I can tell, I have never seen anyone who gambled get anything done.  But the few I have seen are always drunk on loss.  And if gambling can be avoided then that is better.  I would say it is a bad addiction once someone gets into this addiction their life is completely over.  So I would say if we can stay away from them we will always be fine.  There are some people who think they will become big people by gambling but at the end of the day they lose all their money.  So we will stay away from all these gambling.

When money problems start to appear then I don't see how the gambler will feel less bad after losing money gambling, which, in the long run will always happen.

It's basically the same as any other addiction. It's a downwards spiral, every time it gets a bit worse.

Now must of the people addicted in gambling . Especially young boys are more addicted to gambling. And now with the introduction of online casinos, everyone can play gambling from the comfort of their home . For this the influence of gambling is increasing day by day. When someone loses gambling and loses his money.  Then they try hard to recover that loss.  And they cannot quit their gambling addiction.  And keep losing more and more money.  Eventually they lost everything.

Teenagers are attracted by the myth of making easy money quickly in gambling. Adults are also attracted by this, but remember yourself as a teenager and you will immediately understand what I mean. That is why they are easily involved in betting and quickly become addicted. Attempts to restrict teenagers from gambling at the legislative level seem futile to me, since any of them can play online casinos from a smartphone that everyone now has. And I agree that there is nothing good in this, both for teenagers and their loved ones, and for the whole society as a whole. I have no idea what to do about it, but if you hear more and more about gambling addiction of both adults and teenagers, then the problem is only growing and accumulating.

Gambling is a way to get rich in a short time.  So it attracts more people age of 20-40 years.  Because people of this age are more inclined towards money.  Then they get greedy and waste their hard-earned money by gamble. And they lose gambling and go into depression.  Which creates turmoil in their family.

Yes you are right the excuse is playing here many people can become modern but most of the people can't tolerate it most of the time they lose a lot of things and get involved in many bad things gambling is good but not everyone can see it

They only see how much money they can collect from the balance in their account without calculating how much money has been lost in gambling. They think that they made a big profit but there is a real possibility that they may still incur a loss if everything is calculated carefully. Playing gambling is indeed not a way to make money for people because they will only experience defeat and that must be realized for them so that they do not play gambling too often. They will only experience negative feelings such as depression, eventually resulting in their inability to work well on that day or the following days. In addition, there will be a feeling of wanting to recover from a loss another day, which will trigger them to return to gambling.

Certainly, emotions are an integral part of human nature, but even after a big loss, you do not need to give in to despair. You need to carefully weigh your strength and decide whether to continue gambling or stop it. Losing is completely normal, because the percentage of losses significantly exceeds the percentage of wins. Unfortunately, not all people can cope with the feeling of loss and disappointment.

Gambling is never for everyone just like business is not for everyone. These two involves people that has the mind to take risk and accommodate the outcome from it. People who don't rely just on emotion but reality to strike the balance of taking risk proportional to what they can carry. An experience gambler is different from those inexperienced in the field of gambling because they gamble reasonable while the latter does it emotionally.

If gambling is for entertainment, then it will always be only for the sake of emotions, and if gambling is considered as a means of earning money, then many hours of analysis of events already begin, viewing all possible available information about events, that is, a more fundamental approach. There will be emotions in this case too, but there will also be a greater expectation of winning, compared to a player who bet a couple of bucks to scream over a beer in a pub with friends, and losing will mean almost nothing.

Those who can't take a negative outcome may most probably not going to enter gambling as they knew they have no appetite on the risk involved with gambling.
An experienced gambler like how you describe it might feel emotional too especially during a massive loss. We all do, no matter how reasonable it is. That's the reason why we have heard stories about gamblers who are in a deep debt taking their lives as they feel hopeless and depressed.

It's not for the frail heart and mind. Those who can absorb the losses and just let it go for the next gambling day will likely come back better.
But those who are weak and will try to chase what was lost will have a bad stressful day when they wake up.
I can say it because I have been in that moment. The thoughts of how much was gone in a short span of time will linger for a long time.
It's difficult to fight the "chasing losses" emotion but once you get through it or maybe thru experience, a better gambler will come out with knowledge on what to do on his next bet.

it feels bad but we can't beat the house and get our money back. It was wrong chasing our losses knowing that no matter what we do, we still lose more rather than make winnings. As to be here in gambling, LUCK is the only hope we made in order to make money and we need to be strong and accept our losses but never blame gambling for this is our choice, not the owners.
Stop chasing those losses, otherwise, we just fail and even lose more.

I do not think problem gamblers will learn to deal with the frustration of losing.  There are problem gamblers who commit suicide because they cannot take the pressure of losing everything.  Other gets depressed while other commit crimes such as robbery and theft just to have the fund for their gambling activity.  Unless these people are treated, they will never learn to deal with their addiction and losses.

Whenever you do make yourself on some involvement in things specially it do involves money with that kind of activity then it would really be that prone into that emotion thing since we dont really love nor like to lose

money which means whenever we do lost then that would definitely affect out mainly our emotions and when that happens then decisions will really be greatly affected and the worst you would really be losing your

self awareness on different situations or conditions that you are into thats why its really that important to have that good control and self awareness on actions or things
you been dealing with so that you wont really be ending up on those mistakes.

Emotions are always present when you do something like this, you'll not know until when you're able to experience the hardship of being a winner, and because you're too greedy or not content, you continue and thought of it as something easy to recover but it won't happen. Being aware of what may happen in the future is one capability of gamblers that understands that not all of their lucky and they know what to do and what to feel in terms that they're uncertain.
