Reckless gambling starts after a win round.

[Coin_trader]

If we gamble and have the luck to make a win, we should count it a privilege and also a challenge to work more harder the next time, that might be the last opportunity of it's kind we may have then, we don't need to be reckless in gambling, we have to create a modest pattern to how we gamble to position us to the best way we can appear being a gambler, what works for others may not really work for us the same way.

@Aanuoluwatofunmi, you gave a perfect advice, but the truth is that people read or hear advice but easily forget what they have read because they get either greedy, carried away by the fun, chase losses, or just lack proper financial management. Every gambler knows that it's luck they are gambling with because there is no certainty in gambling; it's either win or loss. So, whether a gambler wins or not, he or she must just let go of their losses and accept their results instead of becoming compulsive gamblers. Just as you noted, gamblers must know that if another person is lucky, it doesn't guarantee them luck either.

The truth is, Remembering an advice or something especially if this coming from a person that doesn’t gamble at all and just using a logical advice without considering how the mind of person works during the influence of gambling is really useless. Even a financial advice is bery hard to follow due to its risk and greediness on profit involved so what's more for gambling that is full of risk and just based on luck.

Typically, gambler only think and come to realization after or before they gamble and not during gambling. Only few players can think straight withoiut being affected by risk pressure during gambling.

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.

I do think that addiction manifests to people differently due to the reason on why they are getting addicted in the first place.

Some people may feel addicted due to the adrenaline of betting huge amounts of money per round; while others get addicted due to the fact that they are clinging to that hope of winning a jackpot whenever they gamble. At the end of the day, they gamble because they truly want to experience something that is otherworldly- something that can only be found while gambling.

Personally, I find the adrenaline to be the main reason on why most get addicted. That surge of emotions that you feel whenever you are holding on to that hope of winning, only to discover that you won/loss. I guess that feeling of slight ecstasy is what makes gambling addictive.

Well, the thing is, gambling does have its up and downs for everyone, there is always the negative side of gambling for every gambler, but like you have said, first, the outcome of a gamble or bet is not in the hands of the gambler to decide, this is absolutely certain and i believe all can agree with me, but then, how we allow the outcome of the game affect us or our emotions, very much depends on the gambler, it is like the common saying that "happiness is a choice", which means that, in every circumstances of life, be it a good or bad result, being happy regardless is our personal decision.

One way to overcome the aftermath effect of losing in gambling is to always remember, even before we start gambling, that gambling is nothing but for fun, if you win some money in the process, that is entirely your luck, if possible, never expect to win anything from gambling, so that if in the process you dont win, you wont feel too bad about it, but if you win in the process, it can make you more happier, as that could feel like money picked on the way side.

You may argue that gambling is only for enjoyment, but let's be honest about this. Most gamblers lose money, and many of them have substantial addiction issues. Its more than just a game; its a seductively perilous world where losses may swiftly get out of hand. You're headed down a steep slope the instant you begin using the phrase "its all for fun" to excuse your losses. And the idea that one may choose to be happy? Although it has advantages in other situations, in the gaming industry its only a front for harm that cant be undone. You should take a step back and reassess if your emotional health is being negatively impacted by gaming.

You are right, mate. It's even kind of a waste of time to advise a gambler  , because while they will still end up doing whatever they please, perhaps they would say, "It's not your money they are spending," and it's not your business to tell them what they will do. I have talked to a friend before about his gambling habits, and those kinds of responses were what I got. You feel you are doing some good thing by asking them to control their reckless gambling, and they ask you, "If really the money they are gambling off is yours." So sometimes the advice is not even necessary. I would just say, Let the gambler test the game and let themselves decide if they are really gambling with self-control or not.

Most of the time these gamblers understand on their experience. Just on sharing our experience they never care about the gambling activity. Once after huge loss they used to remember what we had said earlier. When they realise it is far away and the loss could've been very big. With gambling we shouldn't have the never giveup mentality. Gambling should be considered fun and advice received should be considered and whether we follow or not is secondary.

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.

I think it can work both ways, you can become an addict with or without winning. When you're winning many people don't think someone can get addicted but it can happened because you get used to gambling that you play always and become very addicted then can't stop.

When you don't win you can get obsessed with winning that you keep gambling and sometimes you gamble just to revenge your previous losses and that's how most gambling addicted starts. You might borrow money to gamble because you don't want to lose but keep losing.

For different gamblers there are different reasons why they get addicted but all starts because of lack of discipline. As a gambler you have to discipline yourself so you don't over gamble or chase after losses because if you don't do this, a time will come that you'll get tempted.

[Iron Fist]

Definitely! Developing a gambling addiction is entirely possible, regardless of whether you've scored any winnings or not. Various factors, such as psychological or social aspects, can contribute to gambling addiction. Winning can undeniably play a role in fostering addiction, as the thrill of winning and the allure of more wins can drive a compulsive urge to keep gambling. But, losing money can also be a trigger for addiction, as individuals might chase their losses in a hope to recoup what they've lost.

Yes, the adrenaline rush or that surge of excitement you experience while gambling can frequently contribute to the addictive nature of the activity, but it's only one piece of the puzzle.

You may argue that gambling is only for enjoyment, but let's be honest about this. Most gamblers lose money, and many of them have substantial addiction issues. Its more than just a game; its a seductively perilous world where losses may swiftly get out of hand. You're headed down a steep slope the instant you begin using the phrase "its all for fun" to excuse your losses. And the idea that one may choose to be happy? Although it has advantages in other situations, in the gaming industry its only a front for harm that cant be undone. You should take a step back and reassess if your emotional health is being negatively impacted by gaming.

If we say otherwise, we do gambling to earn extra money, or make it a living. isn't that also not better. so it would be very natural for someone to say that gambling is fun entertainment, or we can say for fun. after all, now this type of gambling is included in the category of modern entertainment. well, let's be honest. Don't we really realize that gambling has risks in it. if, someone does not want to lose his money at the gambling table. ideally, never even to do gambling. because gambling has a risk in it, if we don't win it means we lose.

It cannot be denied, there are many gamblers who become addicts to it. but not all, gamblers are addicts. interestingly, the point you made was overly dramatic. I thought, it's simple. if you do not want to go down a steep slope, you should not climb the mountain. the phrase "have fun" is a notion so that gamblers don't get stuck in the powerlessness of addiction. With this idea, someone who does gambling does not have to target winning every gambling session. someone who has such an idea, can control the gambling he does. provided that, has limits in each gambling session. or, just spend a few dollars in each session. thus, someone will avoid big losses and even lead to addiction. after all, every gambler, has his own way of how they get around gambling.

Different from compulsive gamblers, usually they will find ways to fulfill their gambling desires even though they don't have money.  the point is, how do you define gambling for yourself. you are free to express it, be it for fun, or according to your understanding and desire. Most importantly, we are fully aware that gambling always involves risks.

[ethereumhunter]

Of course, at first it would be difficult to examine that far, in certain circumstances they will realize that they will not return to that winning position, but on the other hand, they believe more firmly in the possibility "maybe making another deposit will get a win, at least what was previously lost can come back again." " it must be there, both of them are more confident in luck and really believe in it like "maybe this time you will be luckier and can get another win" and every day carry out that thought continuously and make them lulled by the frustration of defeat and want back the money they have was eliminated in previous gambling, this position makes someone careless and becomes irregular in gambling.

Greed and wanting the money back, keeps them doing it.

They need to change their mindset that by making another deposit, they will get a win because that doesn't guarantee they can get it. What is there is that they can experience more losses and even the money they deposited can run out too. That is why when they have lost in a row, they should immediately stop and leave gambling so they do not want to deposit money again. Or if they get a win, they also have to stop immediately so they don't get greedy because they want another win.

After it's all over, they also have to be able to deal with their increased emotions and maybe they can do some relaxation to reduce the emotional tension. Greed won't give them anything so we have to try to prevent it from getting bigger and we can't control it.

in this condition it is caused by greed which results in losses and regrets and after that does the same thing until it becomes addicted because of chasing and continues to chase losses because of losing big wins. this is a normal condition and almost old gamblers have experienced problems like this, even I myself have experienced when I got a win but kept betting in the hope of winning even more without realizing that I lost all my winnings.
and in this case having the mindset to know when to start to stop betting will be very important when you get a loss or win in the specified amount, you must quit immediately, avoid emotions that are getting higher and lose control to continue betting without thinking about the long term.

So almost all gamblers who have been gambling for a long time have almost the same experience and keep trying to chase their losses. But when they want to chase wins or try to recover their losses, they are not successful and even if someone manages to get their money back, there will still be losses from previous gambling. But some gamblers can realize their mistake and try to stop it as soon as possible before they get another loss. And that's where they come from, the gamblers try to practice self-control so they don't interfere with their gambling and can still enjoy gambling. And since then, their gambling goal has changed, not chasing wins or recovering from losses.

Being greedy can really ruin us and make us bankrupt with nothing left because we will become reckless and decisive and we will lost even more so I think we need to be disciplined enough and also we need to make our minds powerful than our emotions so we will not go wrong in our decision, if we might be wrong still we will have the plan B that can be very helpful to us.

That's very true because greed makes us forget ourselves and won't realize that what we are doing is a mistake so it can make us lose all the money we have prepared as our budget for a week or a month. To overcome this, we clearly need to learn about discipline so that we can stay on track and we can really have good self-control in gambling. In addition, we must also have a plan for gambling so that we will not sink into gambling. And with all that we learn, we can make gambling entertainment.

Lucky those who have an environment like you, of course if you hear or are close to someone who has ambition like that you will tell him to stop first and let him calm down before continuing gambling, cases like this are quite dangerous if we cannot control ourselves, we need assistance from a friend who has maturity and responsibility in gambling to remind his friend.
I didn't remind them, because I was researching their behavior in gambling before, but after a few samples I found those who did gambling like this who started with big wins, seemed on average to be impulsive in gambling, and after that I reminded them and gave guidelines for responsible gambling.

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.

I think it can work both ways, you can become an addict with or without winning. When you're winning many people don't think someone can get addicted but it can happened because you get used to gambling that you play always and become very addicted then can't stop.

When you don't win you can get obsessed with winning that you keep gambling and sometimes you gamble just to revenge your previous losses and that's how most gambling addicted starts. You might borrow money to gamble because you don't want to lose but keep losing.

For different gamblers there are different reasons why they get addicted but all starts because of lack of discipline. As a gambler you have to discipline yourself so you don't over gamble or chase after losses because if you don't do this, a time will come that you'll get tempted.

People are hooked whether they win or lose because of the rush and adrenaline, right? Too many of my friends have thought they were on a roll just to watch it all come crashing down. And those retaliation wagers? They're like leaping into a shark-infested pool with a cut on your leg, man

Let's not, however, generalize about all gamblers. I mean, some people (like me) have a plan and a cap. We set a spending limit and adhere to it while having fun. It's similar to going to the movies in that you are aware that you are spending money for amusement but are not doing it to support yourself. It all comes down to having an unyielding will and boundaries. So, my buddy, always remain composed and learn when to distance yourself. Whether you win or lose, the game will be played again

That is a tough thing to do mate because remaining composed doesn't have anything to do with guts as this outcome is just a result of being consistent from setting your boundaries, you may plan to do that, it's fine, but once you go overboard, you will start from scratch again because consistency will be a key so that it will be stamped on your brain without even thinking about it. After that, you will always be on the safe side and will prevent yourself from losing beyond control and will end the day with an entertainment experience.

[savetheFORUM]

While you could be right, I say reckless gambling really starts after that first 2 losses. People can easily just dip and take their cuts after the first win, I do that all the time and yet there are instances when I let my greed get the better of me and I continue gambling away since I don't mind losing the bankroll anyway. Losing 2 games in a row however is more mentally pressuring since you've already lost a considerable amount of money by then, one that you couldn't recover outright in a single win. So people tend to go ham during these situations and actually push through instead of cutting their losses and stopping from there, which as we all expect leads to them losing more money than they know how to work with.

Losing will either make you more greedy or make you go home without any take home profit, the greed starts here and I'm also guilty of this. We might not accept that being greedy is like this but eventually once you cannot control your emotion, that can still be consider as greed. Winning will make you more eager to get more pleasure, and I see this as a normal result once you gamble. What you can do to control this is to be more responsible and to stay focus on your strategy and goal, the moment you enter a casino or any site, you should be more ready for whatever the outcome is.

What you are referring to can be anger, frustration, or whatever you call it because you have lost money and you want to get it back, that cannot be called greed because greed is when you have got something but you want even more. So when you are winning in gambling, but you don't stop and want to win even more, and for that, you keep gambling and lose everything you have already won, that is what you call greed because you were already in profit but you wanted more.

And, what you mentioned might also become the reason for someone to get addicted to gambling, but that barely happens because most of the time, when you try recovering your money, you tend to lose even more, and most gamblers stop right there because they see they are getting nothing out of it.

Yes, the adrenaline rush or that surge of excitement you experience while gambling can frequently contribute to the addictive nature of the activity, but it's only one piece of the puzzle.

I also think so, for me a person who is going to fall into addiction does not start when he has a winning streak, in fact, for a person who has the profile of a winning streak and is very addictive, it doesn't even matter. This is very important, because in the brain of that player he will only have to play and play so that his profits are maximum, he is that type of person who, if they do not have impressive profits, will not leave, and that is where the problem lies, because it is something that is practically impossible to do in a casino, unless you have a very large balance and try to take it higher, it is something that at least I do not see as viable, less if it is done in an inconsistent way, which is not play well, make bets for the sake of making them, and anyone looking for big wins in a casino is wrong and yes, you could be heading straight for addiction.

I would think that the addition begins is when you have a losing streak, because in the winning streak the player is fine, he is calm, he knows that things are going well for him, but in a losing streak things get ugly, the person does not He accepts that he loses so much, he says that it is unfair or that even worse, he lacked money to recover everything, because he already knows how to play to recover what he lost, this is a mistake that addicts make all the time, when you lose you create that need to win to win back, or in retrospect, you create that way of playing anyway because the casino shouldn't beat that person, and fighting or seeking revenge with a casino is the worst thing to do.

In addition, if the person in question runs out of money, he will immediately look for a way to get more money, and that's where a problem starts silently, but you have to pay attention, that's how it starts, and the player when he gets that money , play and lose again, the despair will be greater, because you know that with more money you could have recovered, and that all develops into a difficult problem, which if it is not cut on time, with whatever reason or method, things end very badly, and that is not the idea or what is sought.

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.

I believe this has already been discussed in similar threads in the section. Yes, what gets you hooked is winning, and especially winning a big jackpot, not small prizes.

I think you are wrong on this. What the OP is talking about is the scenario of someone who gambles for the first time, and what you say is true but when he has been gambling for a long time. So someone who has been gambling for a while and has developed addiction or other problematic behaviour if they have a losing streak will try to chase their losses, go for more money or even borrow it, but someone who is starting out and losing money gets bored and doesn't gamble when they lose the money they have decided to gamble.

A person who comes to gambling for the very first time may feel a lot of excitement but at the same time, he may be fearful too of losing the money. He would have mixed emotions initially.

I think if he loses his first few games, he may say bad words about gambling or maybe quit it for some time but if he wins, he would be happy but he would not become addicted to it. Addiction only starts when you play too much gambling that all the losses won't matter to you and you still keep on playing. I would call it a state of mind, where the gamblers fail to understand the drawback of excessive gambling.

It's true. Both ways can make a gambler an addict to the game that he plays. Either it's losing or winning.
But I think I will focus on the factor of losing because that's the normal thing that will happen if you start playing in gambling sites. Like they say, the house will always win.
Here is an example.

When a gambler is in that position, he tends to wait for the RTP to click and it might take longer before it happens, depending on the seed and the time. It could take an hour or two or worst, many hours. The other thing that might happen is stopping at that position and increasing the bets which I think is not recommended, that is reckless gambling. I tried it before and it just made things worst.
So, as he goes on trying to chase the loss, the addiction might already be triggered and if the RTP doesn't hit he will try to chase it on other games.
This is the reason why I don't like calculating losses, you tend to be glued to how much you want to chase and it makes you greedy.

[Lorence.xD]

If we gamble and have the luck to make a win, we should count it a privilege and also a challenge to work more harder the next time, that might be the last opportunity of it's kind we may have then, we don't need to be reckless in gambling, we have to create a modest pattern to how we gamble to position us to the best way we can appear being a gambler, what works for others may not really work for us the same way.

@Aanuoluwatofunmi, you gave a perfect advice, but the truth is that people read or hear advice but easily forget what they have read because they get either greedy, carried away by the fun, chase losses, or just lack proper financial management. Every gambler knows that it's luck they are gambling with because there is no certainty in gambling; it's either win or loss. So, whether a gambler wins or not, he or she must just let go of their losses and accept their results instead of becoming compulsive gamblers. Just as you noted, gamblers must know that if another person is lucky, it doesn't guarantee them luck either.

The truth is, Remembering an advice or something especially if this coming from a person that doesn’t gamble at all and just using a logical advice without considering how the mind of person works during the influence of gambling is really useless. Even a financial advice is bery hard to follow due to its risk and greediness on profit involved so what's more for gambling that is full of risk and just based on luck.

Typically, gambler only think and come to realization after or before they gamble and not during gambling. Only few players can think straight withoiut being affected by risk pressure during gambling.  

Exactly, any advice could easily forget if you are already gambling especially if you started with a win. The common thing you would do as a gambler is to gambling once again since you've won from the start then not knowing that you slowly losing all the profits from the win then your own money as well. It's like if you are in the battle mid fight where you can't think logically and would just swing your sword. The influence of gambling is actually on the process while you are playing to win, due to eagerness to recover what you've lost or wanting to win huge amount of profit. They couldn't even think about those advices here, it will be a late realization after the gambling. Sometimes despite that experience they would still gambling just hoping that they will be lucky to recover those losses.

[lienfaye]

I think if he loses his first few games, he may say bad words about gambling or maybe quit it for some time but if he wins, he would be happy but he would not become addicted to it.

Depends on how the gambler control himself when playing. It's true that winning for the first time can lead to addiction but it doesn't mean all gamblers are bound to that situation since we have our own way of thinking. Based on my experience, if you win it's likely you'll gamble again due to the good experience you had for the first time. However, we're not all the same so the result for each gamblers are always different.

Addiction only starts when you play too much gambling that all the losses won't matter to you and you still keep on playing. I would call it a state of mind, where the gamblers fail to understand the drawback of excessive gambling.

Indeed. If you gamble and become addicted, it's your fault for not controlling yourself and letting gambling influenced you negatively.

[peter0425]

Well , I believe that this is what beginners luck says>? I remember those first days that I start gambling and indeed, I turn to be lucky but eventually as days gone by and gambling continues? I experiences losses and till now? i never remember that I gain more than how much I losses over the years.

so Indeed that gambling is a place where people tend to lose and not actually to win . there is a small percentage that people are winning and high percent that losing.

but eventhough? still gambling becomes one of the most in demand vices in the world.

so if you don't wanna face those cases then better not to engage more in gambling and just
use this to unwind and fiind happiness and never to be your source of Income because surely you will fail.
