Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling

[Doan9269]

I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?

Because gambling is not a do or die affairs, we are gambling because we want to have fun through the pleasure time, not because we see gambling as a means of making money online, we have to change the kind of approach we give to gambling in most case.

Some gamblers are less concerned on how often they loose all because they have the money to always use for gambling, fine and good that's not a bad idea, we can also make it a decision that wether we loose or win, gambling is our major plug for having fun, because of loads of excitements in it.

Acceptance and knowing your purpose again, you can gamble as long as you know your reasons.
Personally, I do still gamble to have more fun with less expectation about the profit since we know the risk and we know the probability to win in gambling is not that high. Its not a motivation though but if you’ll focus yourself on your losses, then you’ll be stress for a long time so better to forget and move on.

Acceptance and move on. Self control and discipline would be the key because if you had missed out such thing then most likely you would be playing once again.This had been a typical cycle on which
majority of gamblers cant really just accept their fate specially when they are on a losing situation on which they would really be instilling into their minds that the next bet might be a win already and this  is why they would really be increasing their bet amounts on each bet until they would be able to bust up but for those who might be lucky then recovery could be possible but in most cases and knowing that house do always win at the end then they would really be always having the advantage.

The hope to hit the big winning in the next bet is their hope for continuous gambling even with recorded losses,  but then we have to create a balanced ground to be able to move on and walk away with some of your balance even if already at lose but losing everything trying to chase a win is the most dangerous thing to do as a gambler and for that, it can lead you into addictions.

This is why we have always advised that one should not chase a particular direction while gambling even if it be win or loses.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I believe they are not only gambling because they just want to win; perhaps they find pleasure in gambling because it is more fun for them than anything else. There's no way someone can always lose money in gambling and still want to keep betting, unless the person is an addict or is enjoying the fun they are having. There are some people too who have a good source of income, and as such, they usually have the money to spend on gambling on a regular basis, so they don't get bothered by the losses they face. Secondly, in gambling, the casinos are the ones making the money, while they only give gamblers the opportunity to win a small amount.

Revenge. That is the most common reason for many gamblers. Try to defeat the house. It's impossible but what if you can win just the right amount to cover every loss that happened?

Chasing losses. They just want their money back. You can succumb to this problem and in many cases of addiction, this is the main problem they are suffering.
The truth is it is impossible to win but because many gamblers share their wins in either the chatbox of the gambling site itself or streamers who are showing how possible a gambler could win multis, that's what pushes them to keep on doing it. I believe the only place where we have a chance to win is sports betting. Forget it if it's casino games.

The reason for those people that always gamble after a consistent lost is that,  they always I have it at the back of their mind, that they will one day win big. the propelling factor can also be about the fact that they've heard stories of their friends or close relatives winning it big, so that keeps them going with the hope that one day, it will be the lucky day for them,  and that's the spirit of gambling because actually one day will come and they will win it big.

One of the motivations behind a gambler that loss feverously is nothing but addiction. You can't lose and lose and then come the next day, no change of strategy or skills, no improvement, no new inspiration only to come and bet the usual ways and expect to win. Loss can be frustrating, not every gambler have the power to stomach it, consistent loss can create frustration which can result in playing more and more without any result. I really think addiction and frustration are two main reason gamblers repeatedly bet even if when they lose multiple times.

There are some gamblers that are motivated when they see others win large sum of money, anytime they loss, they act like they give up and swear not to gamble the next day but as soon as they find out that a player has won a great sum of money, they will go back to the casinos to try their luck again. In addition to frustration and addiction, success gambling from others makes people to want to gamble more even when they lose.

[Hispo]

The motivation for most of the people is to have the chance to recover all of that money and perhaps even more, in the end, it only take a very good strike of luck, it has already been the case for many lucky ones around the world, specially if we talk about lotteries.

I have personally not been very lucky during my dice sessions, but I am rather a casual gambler, so I cannot compare my personal experience with what other have gone through with years of gambling and losses. Perhaps it has something to do with some myths some gamblers believe, like alledgely gamblers are closer to get their good luck back when they decide to quit, so they never quit.

It is about superstition and a little bit of greed, there is always a percentage of greed when comes to gambling, even when we are supposed to see this as pure entertainment, we never completely do so.

It is not about the motivation but it is the feeling of recovering your losses.

Generally when a player loses in a gambling game, they have this feeling that they need to recover their losses by gambling again. Unfortunately, this is called the gambler's cycle where a player will gamble regardless of the result, either they win or lose, thereby creating an endless cycle. The only way for the player to break into this cycle is if when they decide to either quit completely or accept the fact that they will not be able to recover their losses.

It is also easier said than done for a person to quit after losing. Our initial response when we lose is to try and win again. But with the determination needed, a player can destroy this cycle and realize that such will never be recoverable.

When you lose in gambling first and second time, you will be biased in gambling and your mindset will not inform or tell you that when you continue participating in gambling you may be losing more of gambling than any other things but the instinct of some one who loses gambling will not tell you, but they will continue betting in gambling so that they will recover today's money they lose and tomorrow money they lose, so the plan of someone who continues to bet so that it will win and the one wining will cover up other loses, I don't think those do win gambling, such plans will make them to lose more

somehow, that's the reason why a lot of gamblers are getting addicted. the idea of finally recovering those losses. which we know is hard to beat if you are already in the phase of not stopping up until you hit big.
and to add, the thrill that it brings to the player is the major reason of most why they keep on playing and with the thought of winning big of course.

[lionheart78]

The main reason is that it has become a habit.  Whether I win or lose does not matter at all.  Since I can afford what I am losing, it is been a regular schedule for me to play some amount of my signature payment and as long as they are free.  I can't say it is fun to lose money but the experience and the stress-removing effect of gambling is a worthy reason to continue. We have been paying for entertainment to remove stress and enjoy our free time, so what is the difference in losing some free money on gambling when it has the same effect as other entertainment?

[Vaskiy]

The main reason is the hope of winning. My last week payment was wasted within few rolls and my week's work isn't useful for me. This happened all because of my hope to turn the money big. With the wallet balance of 0.0023BTC started to wager on dice. Luck was in my favour and it started to grow and at some point it touched 0.006BTC which is really good. I stopped and further my mind said its winning streak and I continued. What happened I lost everything, so it is all about the circumstances and the thought that arises leads to loss of gambling. Maybe if luck had favoured my win could've got continued.

A simple and short answer to your question is: addiction or the pleasure you get from gambling keeps you going for more and chasing that good feeling without caring too much if you lose or win.
 I don't think there's much else that would make someone continue to burn and lose money on gambling. While some people may win big in very rare times, it's often the need of that good feeling and the adrenaline rush they chase. If you can gamble for entertainment without the risk of addiction it's likely fine and we all gamble responsibly. But, gambling more and more even after suffering much losses can be bad for your finance situation especially with that belief in winning big someday even when the odds are against you, realizing that will make you feel so bad.
My advice for everyone: if you don’t enjoy gambling most of the time, feeling more bad, then it’s a good idea for you to quit.

Everyone does not have the same reason to gamble. Some do it purely for enjoyment no matter the amount they have lost and others might do it thinking they can make a passive income from it. There are other reasons such as addiction, hope, or maybe they're involved in a cheating ring.

The point is, every person has a different reason.

Fun! Entertainment!

Why do you spend money to go to the cinema or the bar? Why spend money buying electronic games that certainly don't give you any financial return?
Answer.... to have entertainment.
In the same sense, why should it be any different for gambling?

I honestly still can't believe that there are people who can't see gambling as a form of entertainment. Please... get it into your head that the main purpose of gambling is not to make money.
Obviously everyone plays with the intention of making money, this is one of the objectives of the game, but it shouldn't be the main one.
That's why we have so many people addicted to gambling... they don't understand that gambling should be a moment of leisure and not a means of making money.

[Darker45]

It's not just one. Whenever I experience a series of losses, the reasons I continue could either be I'm having a lot of fun or I'm trying to recover my losses or I'm feeling desperate that even if I'm not having fun anymore and I'm not hoping to recover my losses anymore I just gamble for its sake. I've experienced all of them.

As to the feeling of desperation, it's like I don't care anymore even if all the money that's left in me is lost. But there's actually a certain level of fulfillment in it. It's like challenging bad luck. You want to take all my money? Come on, try get it!

[Assface16678]

I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?

3 reasons: fun, thrill, and money. First, fun or entertainment. Well, I treat my gambling hobby as my entertainment to pass time or relieve my stress after work or during work. thrill. Well, we know gambling has the concept of "risk," so you will be thrilled by every game or bet you make. The bonus is that when you win, the thrill is worth it. and, most importantly, money. What else do we do for gambling? I'll be hypocritical if I say I don't do it for money. I treat gambling as my side hustle, of course with discipline and a good mindset, so I will not have a problem in terms of my gambling hobby. I also experienced too many losses in a row, but if I face that situation, I have a mindset that I should stop, rest, or be refreshed for, let's say, days or a week for me not to be greedy and make unreasonable decisions by continuously playing even if I know I'm in a bad situation.

There are different reasons behind that, and it all depends on each individual.
The first thing I know is, have the desire to make money. It's all about the willingness of every gambler to take a risk in exchange for having a chance to multiply their bankroll. Even with consecutive losses in gambling, having the desire to experience and the longing for winning will make you continue to gamble.

Their addiction. Being addicted to gambling will make a person disregard losses. The only important thing is for him to gamble/play and satisfy himself by gambling.

For fun. People find it as entertainment, not a single worry about the losses. They just play while enjoying themselves.
