Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling

[freedomgo]

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?

They're motivated to recover what they lose, you know. Like you mentioned, they keep losing, but they still come back to gamble. It doesn't make sense to keep coming back if we keep losing; it's as if we're making the problem worse. But let's put aside the idea of losses, because there are people who kinda enjoy the entertainment they get from gambling. Despite the fact that they're losing money, they still come back to satisfy themselves. These are the folks who have a say in society, those who have a thriving business and just want to spend some of their profits to relax. Sometimes they win, but most of the time they lose, and yet they seem to be happy. This is quite the opposite from people who are already desperate.

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.

There has been times when gamblers lose on a straight roll causing him some frustration because they lost almost every including their personal belongings. So I think if a gambler is losing and he keeps playing that means he has not gotten to the limit of his bankroll. Until you get to your limit and if you are yet to win then you will be forced to take a break.

I have known some like that too that have given up the chase for their lost money because they have exhausted their money, in their case even if they win, they end up losing higher amount.

So what would you do if you can't get more money to continue your chase for recovery of your loses.

There is no motivation for why they continue gambling but just a chase of their losses.
In fact, nobody seems to be happy with that situation and of course, we want our money back. Usually, we double our bet for that sake and think that a single win could return our capital. Unfortunately, gambling doesn't go that way, especially if we don't have luck, and less chance to win as well. And the more we chase our losses, the more we lose money. I guess the best thing to do is to quit...

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.

All maybe are there to have fun but majority also are about their losses since this is big negative to their capital if they continue to lose. Maybe some might not feel the pain of losing but once they see that their lose becoming more bigger and bigger especially when they see their current stats for sure after that playing would no fun for them and might they do a stressful betting since what came up on their mind is to recover those negatives he already facing on.

I might agree with you that those gamblers who are chasing up their losses is already addicted but sometimes that's not the real case since there are people just became greedy since sometimes they believe that its easy for them to recover back their capital they lose on they think wrong action they have done.

If what you mentioned above, there are no other words other than those who are of sound mind who say 'the world of gambling is not our world', regardless of whether they are addicted, fanatical, ambitious and so on, It is clear to those who are of sound mind that it is not a good idea to continue because every time you lose when gambling.

From the experience that I have seen from several of my friends who gamble, some of them are really successful in doing so, but quite a few are unlucky, so they lose and lose all the time, For this reason, you lose and lose all the time, you should think that there is no way to get money in the gambling arena, just think about stopping or continuing, but that's it, no one is perfect, everyone often feels like they fall into the same hole.

[Jawhead999]

If someone can't stop to gamble it's mean he's a gambling addict because there's no way a responsible gambler will try to gamble more than the money that they've budget for gambling.

A gambling addict is related to making money through gambling, so they will try to make as much as possible which is impossible and they will never achieve it.

My experience in gambling have shown me that there are times you enter winning streak and there are times you enter loosing streak. If on a winning streak, anything you play will work and it will look so easy. But when the loosing streak starts, it will be as if you are under a spell. It is not a good experience one bit.

When the winning streak comes in, I increase my staking amount to be able to maximise the period knowing it will not last forever.

On the other hand, when the loosing streak comes, I notice it whenever I loose straight bets and when this happens, I will reduce my staking amount to be able to handle that period.

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 who gamble too quickly or too much lose money but end up gambling again. In my opinion the only reason for this is to become addicted to it. Because I know there are many people who lose a lot of money and get addicted to it again and they think they can win the money again and reduce the amount of loss a lot. Although many gamblers place bets without realizing it and can even make some money. So I want to say that those who are on the gambling platform must have fun playing. If you don't do that, you may face a big loss.

Everyone has different motivations when gambling, sometimes there are those who hope to get a big win and there are also those who consider it as entertainment. For those gamblers who hope to get a big win or jackpot, they usually hope that the win can restore the money they have lost because of the loss. so they continue to continue the game to get it motivated.

But for those who only consider it as entertainment, even though they lose, they usually continue playing at certain times just looking for entertainment and having fun, so there is no motivation for that, they just gamble as usual and consider winning to be just a bonus and losing as just something normal. like paying for entertainment. There is no need to be strange about losing because the dealer will always win depending on how we gamble with different motivations.

All gamblers are different, so the options can be as many as you want. I can name three of the most common in my opinion:

- beginner is likely to return after a loss because he wants to win back,
- experienced player knows that losing is as natural as winning, so just does not pay attention to it,
- a gambler with an addiction gambles with all the money he has, so he will return to gambling until he gets help or runs out of money.

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.

When you see a gambler who's always losing but still decide not to give up his gambling activities, it can simply mean that such person is either gambling for fun or he's already addicted to gambling and can't help himself by stopping the act of gambling.
There are people who are very wealthy but are still gambling regularly and these set of people will always gamble no matter the results they get from gambling because they're not gambling in other to make money from gambling rather they're doing it for fun and enjoys gambling. While some others who are addicted to gambling after several losses will still continue to gamble more in other to get win back all their losses which in most cases doesn't work that way.

For those gamblers who hope to get a big win or jackpot, they usually hope that the win can restore the money they have lost because of the loss. so they continue to continue the game to get it motivated.

The most common motivation for the gamblers is money. Is there any other motivation other than money, I don't think so. Gamblers see that there are people who have won life changing income from gambling, and this motivates them to gamble in the hope of earning a jackpot. However, not all gamblers will be that lucky and most of them will lose, instead of winning.

But for those who only consider it as entertainment, even though they lose, they usually continue playing at certain times just looking for entertainment and having fun, so there is no motivation for that, they just gamble as usual and consider winning to be just a bonus and losing as just something normal. like paying for entertainment. There is no need to be strange about losing because the dealer will always win depending on how we gamble with different motivations.  

There are very few gamblers, who gamble for fun only. I think only those who are rich and have a lot of money, only they take gambling as a fun only and may not care if they lose or win. Otherwise, most of the gamblers are very much concerned that they do not lose big money.

[Odohu]

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.

Well, if it is in the aspect of being in net loss, I agree with you, and my response did not really cover that. The bookies are generally in profits as the odds is in their favour else the companies will collapse.  But for those who never won yet continue to gamble, that is an error.

In my neighborhood for example, there are lots of gamblers still trying their luck with the hope to win for the first time.

A simple self appraisal will easily show them that gambling is not for them... they should find what they are good at and stop wasting their money. Gambling is serious business and not something that depends on luck entirely. Hence, it is either they change their strategy or quit. Do you know the pain of putting in money continuously without getting anything in return? It damages the mental health so the best is to quit and look for something else.

Once you do get yourself addicted then going out from it would really be that most likely to be impossible or something that would really be that hard. This is the risks if you do really actively tending to deal up with gambling activity on which you would really be that putting yourself at great risks on getting addicted and this is why it would really be just that right to have that control or else then
you would really be going into a situation on which spending would really be that impulsive and as long you do really have that money then you cant really stop on spending until you do lose it all.
Tons of people had become that addicted because of such wrong move and intent towards gambling.

If you do really have in mind on making money or making yourself that rich towards gambling then this kind of thing will really motivate you on playing even more. Once you do instill up
into your mind with this kind of thinking or mindset then it would really be that just normal that your brain would really be trying out to do on whatever things that should it take
until you would really be reaching out that goal but since gambling is risky and always that in lose then its impossible that you would be able to reach this.

At first, it used to be the winnings, once you start to lose most of your sessions, you'll get desperate to win and even look for the best ways to secure a profit. Now it's all about the entertainment side of gambling as I try to tone down my gambling stakes and prioritize having fun over winnings.

I also saw others mention chasing losses and I have to agree almost every gambler would use that reason maybe once or more because, at some point, you can't always keep taking the hits that the casino throws at you.

[Rabata]

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?

A gambler continues to gamble even after repeated losses for several reasons. One of these reasons is that they consider gambling as a means of making money. Other think that since there is a chance to win more money with good luck, which is not possible with any other platform. Some believe that luck can be favored by repeated attempts. Various activities cost a lot and if a small amount of that expenditure is spent on gambling then at some point luck will change the pace of life which is not possible in any other way. Some people spend even losing money on gambling to recover their lost money.

[Huppercase]

If someone can't stop to gamble it's mean he's a gambling addict because there's no way a responsible gambler will try to gamble more than the money that they've budget for gambling.

A gambling addict is related to making money through gambling, so they will try to make as much as possible which is impossible and they will never achieve it.

Situation makes people do what they aren't meant to do in the first place. Some gamblers over gamble not because they have the intention to continuesly, they do it to win without a single loss but along the line, loss comes into the plan and when that happens, the first thing that comes to their mind quickly is to get back what they have loss and if they are not lucky on the first rollover, that's how rollover pile up in their sleeves.

Anxiety of losing everything can be terrifying because when you lose more than you plan, fear step in and if you are not the experience type, you will be angry and play more to chase the capital until you don't have anything on the balance and been addicted will never comes to your mind, they don't know they are affected already with gambling addiction.

There are very few gamblers, who gamble for fun only. I think only those who are rich and have a lot of money, only they take gambling as a fun only and may not care if they lose or win. Otherwise, most of the gamblers are very much concerned that they do not lose big money.

Your statement is one of the most avoided in gambling, people don't want to accept that gambling makes people to only gamble for money and not for the fun as they used to say. Anytime I heard I gamble for fun, rich kins men is the first thing I think of the person and if the person is not from a rich background, then I will believe the person is not saying the truth. Fun comes only if you have money to throw away.

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?

These people are usually gambling addicts who had successful experiences in the past and were lucky enough to achieve some profits that made them think that they were among the lucky category of people. It is the same group that is incapable of productivity and has nothing to invest in their talents or acquired skills.
If we exclude the wealthy who enjoy spending money excessively, it is possible to establish precise specifications for the category of gambling addicts because they have several commonalities. One of the most important denominators is that they are helpless people and have a dependent mentality. Other than that, there is no justification for anyone’s insistence on continuing to play despite successive losses.

[Biznesmen]

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 also had this doubt a long time ago: what's the real motivation behind them? If addiction is the reason, then what are they addicted to if they are losing every time?People easily give up if they fail to achieve in fewer attempts, but you guys are easily giving up on your own wealth, even if you fail many times. When the results do not show what your real motivation is, People often believe that if not today, tomorrow, or someday, is my lucky day. It's not bad to think this way, but in gambling, hyper-positiveness is like a balloon; when it's blown, there's nothing left.

[Fortify]

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?

It's hard for many people who have not taken that path, or become addicted to anything that is detrimental to your health, to understand the mindset that someone ends up in. There will be some kind of hook that lured this person into gambling in the first place, but at the far end they will have long forgotten that usually happy moment that drew them in. Instead they have formed a habitual behavior that defies logic and simply take robot steps on a regular basis, often without much joy. They may try to justify it to themselves in all manner of ways, but ultimately 99.99% of non skilled gamblers will be money losing players over their lifetime, simply because the odds are engineered against them on purpose.
