Reckless gambling starts after a win round.

[Fredomago]

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.

    -  Even if you win at gambling for the first time, you won't immediately feel addicted to it. Of course, the first time we play, we will really feel that it is fun to gamble. which is happy as long as we don't let it make us greedy.

For the others, it became a way for them not to realize that greed has entered their personalities as gamblers. So they should be able to learn how to be responsible gamblers in any crypto gambling field. Or is it land-based?

You are always accountable for your action, and like what you said, it is that control inside you that needs to handle wisely, yes it's true that when you make your first win, it's always attached to you that you can continue doing it, and you can just try over and over to imitate the outcome, but the sad reality, it's not that way.

Gambling is a business, and it was designed to make money for the owner and not for the gambler. A single win without taking accountability can lead you to keep pushing, and you will realize that you are already addicted to it.

I like some of your points but not all, gambling is such that we should do when we are prepared for it, and we need plans to make it work. Not following some random advice that will not work evenly. This is where I would like to counter the fact that it wins for the house alone, how? Are there no gamblers making money? Take for example those fairest aspects of gambling like sportsbooks, is the game not fair enough? It's fair enough as far as I know and it depends on the accuracy and luck of the gambler in question. The best part is that we are not forced to do anything, it's better we do not gamble if we are afraid than not to gamble because we are afraid, fair will only cause mistakes where you act where you shouldn't and do not act where you should.

Imagine the person that bets 10 times in the sportsbook regularly and wins between 6-8 of his best. Won't the house pay the person if the house is fair? That's what I'm talking about, it's not all games that house could wire in their advantage and we should know that it will be to our advantage if we endeavour to play the fairest games only. In addition, we should make sure that we have good predictive skills and also manage our gaming account accordingly and never go beyond our budgets. Our self-control is important too so that we do not go astray from our plans.

You havent won until you have cashed out the chips and left in the taxi, if this was a real bricks and mortar betting experience I guess it would be more obvious in that regard.  The crypto equal of that is you are taking the winnings until its converted back to FIAT and you have paid off whatever bill or expense you wanted to pay for.   A win in a sequence of bets shouldnt be counted too early, if we avoid that fallacy we can perhaps avoid changing our behavior too early away from risk adverse plays.

[nara1892]

It is not strange and I think maybe almost most of the gamblers do such actions, gambling excessively when they have managed to get a win, they think that luck is still on their side even though it is always unpredictable, we must understand that luck is something that cannot be guessed when it comes and when it goes, so with that alone it can be concluded that acting recklessly just for something uncertain is really not recommended.

If you do manage to get a win in the session you are doing then there is no other better option than cashing it in, everything in your mind is nothing more than hallucinations and hopes that do not have any certainty to come true, do not let you get caught in a cycle of addiction because you always overdo it in your gambling involvement.

Most times I don't blame the gamblers. These actions are common in other aspects of life. Whenever a person does something and wins, they'll try it or do some more. Take for instance, when you make a post in the forum and get merited. It'll push you to make more posts and continue making posts. Although the example isn't related to gambling, I need you to understand that there is a part of the brain responsible for that. And Op is right. Those who don't win at all in gambling will soon stop gambling. A part of the brain is also responsible for making people feel they're not supposed to be in a particular niche because they don't get rewarded

The examples and scenarios you mentioned are quite plausible and almost the same as the case of the gamblers we discussed, but on the other hand there are differences that I think are quite significant in the assumptions you told and you have said that it has nothing to do with gambling but in terms of scenarios it may be almost the same. One thing that must be considered is "risk", for other things it may not matter if you want to overdo it because there is no reciprocal risk that might occur but if this case is in gambling then obviously overdoing it is really not recommended.

I think this is a choice, if indeed they are not too ambitious and do not have high expectations then obviously too frequent wins are very likely to be a reason for them to stop and quit this activity, but on the other hand if they are easily stimulated in terms of adrenaline then that's another thing, which means it is possible that they will continue to be involved because of curiosity driven by adrenaline to feel the real victory.

Yes, that's true as long as we are not filled with greed, a gambler will not gamble recklessly even though he feels the first win, I remember the first time I won at gambling, at that time I was happy but I continued until in the end my winnings became 1/2 of the total winnings at the beginning. I thought about immediately stopping and cashing in before I lose all my winnings, so it is true, as OP said, reckless gambling starts when we win, but your input is also good, as long as we are not greedy, we will still be able to enjoy the fun.

Yes, sometimes greedy gamblers are always dissatisfied with the results they receive, but it all comes from the amount of money they bet. If they bet large amounts but don't get the expected profits or at least double them, they will continue gambling until they Unknowingly, it has caused addiction due to reckless gambling.

That's true because after calculating all the expenses and bills and paying them, we still have a lot of money left. That is the winning money that we really get from gambling. We can only use it to celebrate our wins with close people and take a break from gambling for a while. But most gamblers who win don't do that and they immediately celebrate their victory without counting their money. They finally see that they only have a little money left and it makes them think about gambling again with the little money they have left in the hope that they can win an even bigger amount of money. Other gamblers do not immediately stop gambling and cash out their winnings but instead decide to continue gambling because their greed becomes greater and they want a bigger win.

Not many people think like that, most when they lose actually want to play more. This usually happens when someone has started to become addicted to gambling but does not realize that they are addicted and has failed to control themselves not to gamble more. Indeed, if someone tried with big amount, let say it's $100 (this is quite a lot in some countries), on the first day he gambled and lost, he would probably think about not gambling again. But this is even if he has thoughts like what you said, and not guaranteed someone will stop forever after that lost.

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.

Most likely when we're winning (or on a winning streak), this will begin for us to become tempted to spending more time and money to gamble thus higher risk of losing even more money. This is something that I really needed to avoid after learning my lessons from the past where I am struggling to control my gambling habits by spending way beyond my limits.

When I win either in sports betting or any online casino game, that got me thinking of betting some more instead of being happy of my small wins. Greediness is one thing that is really tough to control and manage when we are either on a winning or losing streak.

It is hard to overcome and it would take a while until you're finally disciplined to just control and spend an extra amount that you can afford to lose that is within your means and limits.

Actually there's no other way that you could really be able to get out.Why? here's the ff. scenario;

1. When you win, then you would be aiming for more wins
2. When you are at lose, then you would be chasing up your loses.

Whenever which path you would really be taking then it would really be that really be just that the same.This is why for those people who are really that
responsible towards their actions then they are the ones who could really be able to get out and stop completely if they wanted to.
For those noobs then it would really be just that right that you should really be that having this kind of feeling due to lack of experience but honestly
you wont really be putting up yourself on such scenario if you are really just that making use of your own will and common sense.

Someone wants to risk it all at once just because he was lost on the first try and this is the most dangerous act in gambling because he could also lose the money that is not intended to be used for it and he won't have any means to recover it. he will be forced to take a loan to support his needs and he will be like other people who will become a prisoner to loans just because of one bad decision. Everyone should also remove greed and other bad traits that could lead them to make their lives miserable.

The winning money is always the unique one,because it will be the bigger one compared to the money used in the game.Even the government made the law of taxes to the gambling site,the gamblers can easy pay of taxes with the winning money.This will only affect the person who doesn’t made the money from winning and also need to pay the taxes for the gambling involvement.The gamblers will share their joy with the family members and with their close friends.The gamblers should keep their mindset of have fun with their money from the gambling site,mostly the gambler will spend all their winning money nearly close to ten dollars of their full winnings to fulfil the desire.

Exactly! These 2 things are elements that surround players when they are gambling. At first they are just wanted to try, but the desire to win was much greater than the desire to stop. In fact, this doesn't only happen to noobs, but can also happen to all players when they forget to control themselves. But from the comparison, noobs will experience this much more. therefore I say there is no guarantee that people who try and lose will stop at the time. Because basically wanting to win and chasing losses is the normal emotions of gamblers at the beginning of their journey.

Yes, gamblers must indeed maintain their mindset so that they can have fun with their money by gambling moderately. If they can win from gambling, they must be able to feel enough and can decide to take a break to reduce tension after winning. If they can do this, they will have no trouble using their winnings and will not continue gambling because they will remember that winning is a rare thing and they should be able to appreciate it. By stopping gambling, they can use their winnings well and if the winnings are not large, they can still stop gambling to reduce tension and save the remaining money so they can use it to gamble another day. Maintaining this mindset must indeed be done continuously so that there will be no temptation that can influence him to continue gambling.

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 can vividly relate with this point, I remember when I first began my gambling on online and in land sports betting I made countless numbers of losses in the very beginning due to my shallow knowledge about analyzing and gathering informations about a team before moving ahead to bet on them. As a result of not having a single winning, each time I feel like going to the bet hall to gamble what comes to mind is you want to go and lose money today again. As in, there was no other striking thought of winning aside losing it because I haven't experienced a win before as at then. So the thought deterred me from going to gamble some days.

After sometime I had my first time winning an amount I didn't believe could be won by me in my first time, thereafter I had another win after a few weeks. Guess what! That thought of "you are going to lose money today again" ceased from taking a center stage, a thought of hope to win sets in because of the winning experience I have had twice then. That was how I frequent at the gambling hall almost everyday my loses increased thrice more than I had expected.

There's a different mentality held inside between a gambler that had won money in gambling before and he who hasn't had that winning experience before, not even ones.

Definitely, self-control is very important when gambling. But we have to ask: isnt gambling naturally tempting and hard to predict? Let's consider a hypothetical scenario: a gambler wins a small amount. This small win causes a chemical reaction in the brain called dopamine to be released. Naturally, we want that feeling again. Will a single win really teach people the discipline they need to stop? Psychological and historical evidence suggests otherwise.

"Chasing losses" or "repeating wins" are common mistakes gamers make. Do we really mean what we say when we say "I'll stop after this win"? "What if I win more?" often makes people deviate from their smart choice to stop. Therefore, the idea behind gambling responsibly is fundamentally wrong. Not about winning or losing, but about knowing how gambling affects your mind and staying in control of it.

[bettercrypto]

Obviously, gambling is a business; gambling only becomes a way for us to become addicted to it. But gambling itself was not the main reason; instead, the main reason was that we were driven by greed to become addicted to gambling because we experienced winning by playing gambling on the gambling platform.

There are still many gamblers who use casinos to gamble, but they do not become addicted to gambling or develop an addiction to it because they know how to limit themselves from gambling. In short, they are responsible gamblers.

Even though the details of your story are unique, it generally follows a similar path for people who gamble. Initially, losses make any hopes of winning seem pointless. In contrast, winning, especially for the first time, can greatly alter this view. Mentally, its like flipping a switch: all of a sudden, the chance of winning seems real, pushing aside the truth of losing. There is a cognitive bias called the "gambler's fallacy" behind this change, not just hope.

As a result, this bias can create a harmful loop. You stop caring about the odds and start trying to win. This dangerous route was shown by your experience, where losses tripled after initial wins. Remember that gaming is a game of chance, not skill. It is always better to play against the house, and the longer you play, the more likely it is that you will lose. No one is just guessing; this is a mathematical fact.

Yes, gambling naturally tempts anyone who decides to gamble. But if they have a retaining wall, namely discipline and others, they will not be tempted by gambling because they can take care of themselves well. They can actually get pleasure from gambling and there is no reaction whatsoever even though there are still small particles in their brain that are trying to get bigger but these small particles are always suppressed so they don't get bigger. But these feelings will indeed come again, and it depends on how the discipline we have can help us resist them.

These two things, chasing losses or chasing wins, are things that don't need to be done when gambling because it will only make the losses bigger while we won't be able to get any wins. So we've had enough of the previous wins that we have to stop and rest first immediatelyimmediately. It's better not to say I will stop after achieving so many wins because that doesn't guarantee we can get the victory we want. That will make us lose responsibility in gambling and there will definitely be a desire to achieve the victory we want even though it is difficult.

It's not gambling that tempts us to continue gambling but the mindset and expectation of big wins from gambling that tempts us to continue betting and for me gambling has no faults but it's just that sometimes our mindset quickly changes destroying the discipline we've built for so long, like at the moment. a gambler bets responsibly and is disciplined not to chase wins by luckily getting a big win and that's when temptation will destroy his discipline because seeing a very big win he already has the thought "maybe I will win again" will definitely appear and encourage a gambler to betting again without realizing he broke his own rules and in the end lost half of his winnings which made him regret it and wanted to catch up on the loss. and in this situation if a gambler loses control he will usually chase the loss of the winnings which will result in losing all his winnings.

so here it is not only about discipline and responsibility that a gambler must carry out to avoid reckless betting but also strengthen discipline with commitment and a positive mindset and definitely always appreciate the money you get at that moment and always say to yourself if today I got this amount, this is my best gift that I have to enjoy and dont waste it again on gambling.
In this way, I believe that the gambler will be very strong with the discipline he has built over a long time and will not make reckless bets even if he gets a big win.

Irrisponsibilty is the main reason when you get hooked with gambling, forgetting to set your limits after earning your first win, control and emotions takeover inside you and everything change as your desire to keep playing is the only thing that you want to follow, I'm pretty sure that if a person have that limitation and he perform it with carefulness it won't let him to go in addiction instead he will manage to enjoy and take that entertainment as prize for spending money and time when playing.
