Reckless gambling starts after a win round.

[xSkylarx]

I'm not sure if it is all about winning; just imagine playing computer games. Are you not playing the games if you lose a round? You still play, right? not because you lose but because it is fun. Though winning is really fun, it doesn't mean that if you lose you won't be entertained because in gambling there are really people just looking for fun, and even if they lose, they still play on it. I've seen a lot of documentaries that show that most people who got addicted to it lost a lot of money and are now selling their properties just to gamble.

If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?

We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you, Maybe there are some people who are against this but I can't be against it in the slightest, My friend and I tried gambling for the first time at the same time and several times I played gambling but always lost which made me bored to gamble and it's not fun, but my friend whose gambling experiment was the third time he tried to gamble got a sizable win from his gambling, after the win he got the time he spent on gambling was getting longer and busier to keep playing and finally he got his addiction in gambling, maybe to this day he still does, i tried to control him to gamble more responsibly, but instead he stays away from me.

I thought that indeed an unexpected victory with a game that was easier to get money that had multiples more than what he had ever imagined from gambling made him depend on it, even though it was the wrong decision, for me who doesn't have much winnings in gambling , making me indifferent to gambling because I know what the end will be like and I know very well how my friend changed when he was too addicted to gambling, today I gamble just to fill my time when everything gets boring then the solution is to gamble.

My personal experiences with gambling addictions are still very limited, and most things I know are either from the forum here or from news articles I read online. To me it seems a bit counterintuitive that only people that are winning can become addicted to gambling, I would expect that anybody is at risk, both winners and losers. I would even say that people that are losing many times are more at risk to become addicted. At least for me when I gamble, I already think about what I could do if I ever win big. So, it's not only winning itself, but also during gambling and losing that I would expect people to become hooked on the games. Reckless behaviour happens both after winning and losing, it's not a phenom that only happens to winners. The pressure is much higher after a losing streak, because our brain keeps telling us that we now deserve to win. It's like saying that after losing so many times in a row, that we are going to win now for sure.

Of course it's the first time, you can't get addicted on something without a first time experience. That depends though, some get addicted because of beginner's luck, they want to chase that high and in gambling that's difficult since it's a game of chance while others get addicted because they lost a lot the first time and they think that if they stop, they won't be able to get to the winning moment because they stopped and then they go back to my first example, they will chase that high.

In my case after a month of playing, it's hard when you win your first bet, you will have a misconception that gambling is easy and you are lucky in gambling, I learned when trying to win that you have a house edge to deal and no method that you can think of where you can beat the house.
There's such a thing as beginner's luck but its hard when it happens in gambling because your confidence will grow that you will think that you can make money from gambling, when in reality you cannot.

and that is what gambling sites wanted us to believe in , not all of course because there are still fair and legit but those who are fishy? they tend to fool gamblings in giving beginners luck.
but when you  start believing in that sense, then the collection will start and losing will continue happening from your account.

Well, and I don't think it's possible for someone to get addicted if at first he doesn't get a very attractive winning sensation there. This is a common symptom for all gamblers who eventually become addicted after they get a few early wins. Gambling moves under the human consciousness and they themselves will not realize that they have entered the addiction zone, all they feel is high curiosity and hope about a win. But indeed, if we realize that there are actually a lot of factors that can influence someone to enter the gambling zone, as you said, defeat will also invite someone to do it again with the aim of returning losses in the past. Cycles like this will continue and are not related to time, meaning they will not know how long they will do this or pursue something there.
Most of them will only realize when they are in a very down position because they spend too much of their precious possessions.

I don't think it only starts after you experience winning. chasing losses your losses can develop into a gambling addiction, chasing your losses can make you gamble recklessly. also, from what I have read before, "near misses" can develop into gambling addiction, what I mean about this is that nearly winnings jackpot/huge wins can become a motivation to gamblers to gamble more just to try and hit that jackpot/huge win.

[piercekieran99]

Winning can be a powerful motivator. It's easy to get caught up in the idea that you're just one more win away from hitting the jackpot. Its sad tbh

A taste of winning can lead to gambling addiction. Some new gamblers might think that gambling is just an easy path to make money because they had a lucky start. Losing the first time will make gamblers have the mindset that it is not an easy path. Responsible gamblers know that winning in gambling is a product of the combination of experience and luck so they stake only what they can afford to lose.

I don't think it only starts after you experience winning. chasing losses your losses can develop into a gambling addiction, chasing your losses can make you gamble recklessly. also, from what I have read before, "near misses" can develop into gambling addiction, what I mean about this is that nearly winnings jackpot/huge wins can become a motivation to gamblers to gamble more just to try and hit that jackpot/huge win.

Chasing losses can cause gambling addiction. When gamblers want to regain losses they develop a mindset that if they bet more it can help them to cover the loss. This can lead to staking above the budget or gambling plan. I also agree with you about "near misses". I have seen people bet more because they feel that they can win the next time they bet.

For most people the act of gambling, in the many forms it is dressed up in, is taking a risk with your money in return to the possibility of getting more money back. You're right that without playing the game and actively winning, it would be a huge discouragement to continuing to gamble. A normal person is able to take that feeling of sadness you get from "wasting" money, or not winning, and they register an active decision not to do it again in many cases. However some individuals may actually feel offended, they have trouble processing the feeling of rejection or the fact that they are stupid for having started with money and left with none, so they may choose to chase losses even further - but probability and casino program manipulation are more likely to give them a win in the early stages anyway.

Winning usually changes our mindset and perspective towards gambling. We could only see the possitive side of gambling and we're disregarding the risks because we believe that the same thing could happen to us again. Winning could trick us sometimes and could create an active greed in us and it's something that we should be careful about.
We shouldn't be blinded by winning because we might feel overwhelmed after it and focus on rebetting again after our winnings. This could be a big trick so we shouldn't lose our track and must still know our limits.

Playing computer game doesn't really merge with gambling because gambling you have your emotion to struggle with as your money is involved but mere play station only spike you up but you don't take reckless emotional decision, only to play and have fun , no money is involved.

That documentary is actually teaching against chasing losses because that is the major causative factor that will make someone become an addict. Addicts don't play for fun but for the purpose of multiplier.

Coming from my own personal experience in gambling, I would think that you are completely right. Once a person tastes victory, winning somehow becomes not only an addictive feeling but also a kind of motivation to keep going. As if the win has somehow shifted your luck and now you will be likely to win even more. This is of course a lie that we tell ourselves, but it is very tempting to believe in it. The bigger and more often you win, the more you seem to feel invincible, as if there is no such thing as bad luck for you anymore...

Its important to have self-discipline and a cost/profit plan. Otherwise you just keep gambling until you lose everything.

Some people being oppotuned to have a first experience win when they gambles, they will also think that will be a continuous process that at every attempts they will also get that same luck and the whole process continues, but things weren't like that in reality, gambling is not a game we played and already know what will be the outcome right before the bet, so on the attempt to make this come a reality, the gambler keep loosing instead of winning as they keep with making subsequent trials.

Once you do win, then you would really be having that kind of impression that you can really do this all day on which you would really be having thoughts that you would really become that rich in no time since you

have believed that winning would really be that so easy or simple on that time on which a very wrong kind of approach but well everything would really be realized on, on the time that reality would slap into your face. This is why its really that wise that you should really be making yourself that having that being realistic about gambling that it isnt something that could make you rich but rather it would be doing the opposite if you do find yourself having that lose control of your spending or with your finances. It is really just a normal human being reaction to have that kind of boost up on the time that you do win up a bet
but sooner later when losing streak comes then this is where realization do come or kick in. Its never been that so easy on winning on gambling and this is why it is really just for the sake of fun.

You are right, some people will find it difficult to stop gambling after winning, because even when they start losing, they will have the confidence that if they don’t give up, they will end up winning one day, that’s why some addicted gamblers will find it difficult to stop gambling even when they are losing, they are always having the mindset that they are going to win all the money they have wasted previously, but if they give up, then everything is gone already.

Do you think it’s possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

It’s possible to get addicted to gambling even if you haven’t win any amount before. If you are having friends that are gamblers and they are winning, even if you haven’t win, they will keep on motivating you not to give up, you will win if you don’t give up, so you can still be addicted even if you haven’t win, just because you know people that are gambling and you know they are making money.

[lienfaye]

That's the start to get hooked for thinking it's easy to win but it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to become addicted. Because it depends how you gamble, are you playing to have fun, satisfy yourself and winning is not the priority? Or your main desire is to double or triple your money without control on how much you'll spend? Because if the latter is your reason it's likely that you'll going to become addicted.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

If you never tried it yet how can you become addicted? It will start if you already experienced to win but as I have said it still depends.

[ethereumhunter]

Gambling addiction will not come at the start of our gambling but when we decide to return to gambling a few days later and continue gambling, it may be the beginning of gambling addiction but we will not realize it. And as long as there is a desire to return to gambling another day, the feeling of gambling addiction begins to appear and we should be careful and always control ourselves. Gambling addiction can come to us when we haven't won a single victory or after we have won and sometimes we don't see that it is gambling addiction because we have difficulty distinguishing it. Gambling addiction can start when you experience defeat because, at that time, there is a desire to recover from previous losses. And if you keep losing the next day, that desire will still be with you and you will return to gambling again.

It seems that OP hasn't tried it or researched it because if he tried it he would definitely know that you don't have to win, people will start to get addicted if they continue to feel curious they will continue to play even though they have never won and lost in a row. so this isn't just talking about winning but also without getting a win too everyone can be addicted.

For example, in every game, of course, there is something called victory and defeat, so in a game where you win a little or lose a little, it doesn't matter, people will continue to gamble as long as they are still curious and haven't reached the big win they want. I also have a friend who started to get addicted because he never win against the casino, that's why he is always curious and keeps wanting to win the game to beat the casino even though we know that the dealer will always win. The bottom line is to gamble responsibly and not recklessly

[Mr. Magkaisa]

    -    Honestly speaking, when I experienced winning in crypto gambling, it was a pretty good and happy feeling when that happened to me, it started to occur to me that it was good to gamble. And when I noticed that I was losing more and more playing in the casino here in crypto, that's when I understood that it can't become a habit if this is how much I'm losing.

So after this incident, I controlled myself, because the chances are high that you will end up in addiction when you experience winning gambling several times, and there are also others who develop addiction not because they have won gambling but just got really hooked on a game here in crypto gambling.
