Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling

[Eureka_07]

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?

The only reason I can think of is the hope that the next bets will likely be a win, potentially allowing them to break even or even hit large multipliers. This instinct is common to all of us. At times, it can be negative, but there are instances when it can be positive, helping to offset substantial and stressful losses.

However, from my perspective, it's crucial for gamblers to take a pause and breathe if they're experiencing continuous losses. It's not healthy to persistently place bets. Remember that it's advisable to gamble only with spare funds.

For some individuals, the compulsion to keep betting after significant losses might be a sign of addiction, and that issue should be addressed.

When you see gambling as not just a money-making venture but a source of entertainment, there is the possibility that you will keep gambling for a long time even if you keep losing. Another factor that can sustain your gambling life is if you gamble within your means. But every gambler should have patience and perseverance because if you don't win today, tomorrow might be your lucky day. Gamblers are dreamers who believe that the future will be better, so we keep moving regardless of past losses.

Are there really people like that? It seems strange to me that someone will continue in gambling when failure is experienced in every gambling activity. That does not seem reasonable to me. Maybe they have had a major win before the series of losses....

It doesn't sound reasonable to you because you have not experienced it. I have seen people that have lost stakes for several months without a win and they kept on gambling. Most of them have reasons for still gambling consistently like because they are entertained and they also want to recover what they have lost.

What could be the motivation other than the hope of winning something big someday and possibly changing their lives? That's the basic thought process of a person who has a limited amount of money and is still gambling and doesn't stop even after losing every time, the reason is simple, they don't lose hope because they find gambling and lotteries to be the only options that provide them with at least the opportunity to change their lives even if the possibilities of that happening are extremely tiny.

You can only find this thing among the poor gamblers who don't get to gamble with a lot of money but they still don't leave gambling. Such people would never understand that it is not possible for everyone to earn money through gambling because they say that they at least have some probability of getting a big win someday.

People bet more for obvious reason, to recover all their lost money and still hopeful to make a big win so they won’t be labeled as a loser. Also, some gamblers bet more because they want to satisfy their gambling addiction, and they will only stop once they have nothing left to bet anymore. Or they believe that as long as there are still money left to gamble, they will always have the chance to make a big win even after frequent losses.

For as long as gambling is all about luck and chances, people will never stop from betting until they all get the luck and eventually make a big win.

Lets say I lose anytime I gamble, but what I lost is something that I cant afford to lose or money that I've prepared wisely for gambling only and it does not affect anything in my life. I'll take it like that I have to pay for what I like to do. My case is rare obviously because I believe most people are gambling to make money, there is no other reason why they keep playing although they have lost much money except to hope a big win someday.

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?

I'm up for the challenge, I think? Hehe. I continue, of course, because I can't just easily let go of those losses. You know, when a gambler loses money, it challenges them to improve their strategy and test if the strategy they've developed will work. So they keep trying and trying. It's unlikely that a gambler will lose every time they play. That would simply mean the gambler doesn't know gambling at all. The real scenario is that we lose most of the time, not every time.

isn't Obvious ? the main reason is

ADDICTION ..!!

Imagine having so many losses alot of these kind yet continuously gamble? if you are in their shoes what would be your main reason?

because a occasional gambler will not be able to let themselves having such losses , instead they will only risk a little and stopped.

but what are you asking here is an addicted attitude of a gambler.

[Natsuu]

I totally get what you're saying tho I dont gamble often. For me, theres this adrenaline rush that comes with each bet and the hope that luck will finally swing my way. Even after losses, that thrill keeps me hooked. Sometimes it's the temptation of hitting a jackpot and turning things around in an instant. It's like a rollercoaster, you know there are ups and downs, but you can't help but stay on for the ride. Plus, I believe I can outsmart the game some time. And yeah, social aspects play a role too because when friends are into it, it becomes a shared experience. But let's be honest, it's a double-edged sword. The wins are exhilarating, but the losses sting. Tho I only bet the amount that I can afford to lose. I dont bet much and I just find myself enjoying. Still, it’s that hope of a big win that keeps me coming back, despite the setbacks.

Right. That must be another reason. Losing is normal but being addicted to gambling even if you dont have the money, is wrong.

Gambling is already a big part of their life they are not looking at a figure they've lost, they believe that they will eventually recover from these losses all they have to do is continue playing.

Those whose gambling is already embedded in their system are people who are looking for the hype or adrenaline in their system they want the excitement associated with gambling and they don't care if they win or lose they just want the adrenaline pump and the dopamine effect.
This is the kind of gambler that will take long rehabilitation and sometimes drugs to calm their nerve.
This is something we don't want to happen to us or loved ones.

People who often lose sometimes don't give themselves the chance to win. They can't stop and always play until everyone loses. This behavior is prone to mental disorders. Just as it is difficult to explain to fat people the dangers of a large amount of food since they get pleasure from it, it is in vain to explain to a gambler that such passion leads him to a cliff. All promises that a person will stop playing after he wins back his loss will most often remain just empty words.

If you're a gambling addict who always spends their time and money just to gamble but the final result is always far from expectations and I say it's natural because this is gambling not a place to earn income.

And also on the other hand the impact of gambling is very dangerous, so if they always come with the wrong mindset then of course things they don't want I'm sure will definitely happen to them, such as maybe stress because their psychology has been disturbed and debt, this condition is very dangerous and can also be seen not infrequently from those who even end up committing suicide, I often see cases like this in the news recently.

Basically, I understand that it is difficult to give advice to those who are already addicted, they will not listen to it because most of their mindset has been dominated by lust, all they want is to continue playing with very high hopes for a victory, that's all they think about. I think they will be able to stop when they have experienced a very significant downturn whatever it is, for example, a very large loss to save a lot of debt or destruction in the family, well after that they will think.

There is a very simple reason why people continue gambling even though they are constantly losing more and that is, they are chasing their losses all the time hoping one day they'll hit a jackpot and recover it all.

We should also take in consideration the fact that most people who gamble consistently are addicted to it and cannot stop. Doesn't matter if they lose or win a lot of money, they are going to keep gambling no matter what happens.

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?

People play gambling to win and have fun. I believe the simple motivation to keep playing is to stick to the main goal of winning and have fun. There’s no such thing as motivation on gambling since this not work or something that we need to work hard.

Gambling is just a leisure activity to get entertainment by winning money through the games played in the casino. I always feel to gamble whenever I have free time and money to spend it. I don’t need any motivation to play even though I loss in my previous game since I don’t consider them as connected.

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?

Easy answer is that we are chasing what we lost and we wanted to get it back. So we go and play the next day and then if we win then good, at least we recoup what we have lost. But in unfortunate circumstances that we continue to lose, then obviously we will go back and play. And that is the vicious cycle of gambling and that might fall in the category of gambling addicts. Because you can't really stop playing after a lose and you still believed in yourself that you can make it out alive that particular day with a big chunk of money in your wallet. But in most cases it's not. I know that there are people who says that they play for fun and be entertained, but sooner or later they will realized that they are losing money and it doesn't feel good.

[boty]

For some people who still bet on gambling even though they have lost because they want the money they have lost on the bet back, but very few people have lost in betting, they have a win at that very moment, but they lose so their money runs out before they stop. betting, I think this is very influenced by managing their emotions because they can't control their emotions so they keep betting even though they have experienced many losses.

With 8 billion people, it's not unlikely that there's that kind of person out there that still gamble even if they're losing, technically every gambling addict is that kind of person that OP is describing/talking about, they're eventually losing even if they win sometimes and when they lose their money, they'll just come back again to do the same thing.

There is a very simple reason why people continue gambling even though they are constantly losing more and that is, they are chasing their losses all the time hoping one day they'll hit a jackpot and recover it all.

That's not really the case for some, trust me when I say that when this people you're describing and when they win, they will definitely still gamble hoping to get bigger wins, there's no endgame for them especially if they're addicted to gambling.

There are several factors that can attribute to consistent loses which can be due to the gambler itself or how they go about gambling. Gambling is supposed to be less frequently but when we now make it too frequent, it could cost us some loses or put us in some circumstances that might not be easy to avoid. If we gamble too frequent we might get gambling addiction which has it own effect too. The urge we put in when we gamble too can be a big obstacle for us from getting the kind of winnings that we expected. We don't need to be too confidence about a bet so that to avoid any disappointment.

Yes there are people like that and quite a number of gamblers have not won what will measure up to how much they have lost. In my neighborhood for example, there are lots of gamblers still trying their luck with the hope to win for the first time.

This is not a ruse. It is an open confession for some people who express desire to have a winning so that they can exit because they are not benefitting from it while some already quit, licking their wounds.

Some people who gamble for fun don't care about their losses since they will be gambling with an amount that won't affect them even after losing continuously. But some gamblers won't give up because they have the mindset of winning back all their losses if they don't give up. If I notice that a gambler is losing a large amount of money often but the gambler is not giving up, then I will know that the gambler is an addicted gambler. Addicted gamblers have the mindset that if they don't give up, a day will come when they will be lucky and win back all their losses, but if they give up, all the money that has been lost is gone, and they won't be able to win it back since they have already given up.

While strategies and skills can be vital in gambling, but what is more crucial is to gain luck that makes you win every time you bet. However, despite of consistent losing, a gambler will definitely bet more because he is gambling in the first place not to incur losses but to certainly achieve a big win. And big win does not come easily, and you’ll likely experience more losses at first before you get lucky to win the jackpot prize. This is why even if he’s already losing a lot, he will never easily quit but try harder hoping to recover the losses and even  make more money after that.

While losing can be normal in gambling, but know that if you keep losing all the time without having some chances to win, it’s either you don’t know how gambling works or your way of managing your game does not fit in gambling.
