Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling

[coin-investor]

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 a habit that they cannot or have a hard time breaking, it is more of the feeling of excitement regardless if they win or lose, I've read in one article that there are people who don't care about the winning but they want to capture the feeling of excitement and because of this, they feel they are alive and well.

We all want to have something that will make us feel alive and to feel the adrenaline rush so it becomes a habit, like a runner or a bodybuilder, feel weak if they cannot run or cannot lift a weight, and so is a gambler, they have this dull feeling if they cannot bet or play their favorite games so they ignore their losses and just want to feel alive and to get that adrenaline rush so they continue playing.

There will be victory ahead so continue playing. At least you can get back the amount of money you have lost in gambling.
It's possible that that's the motivation of players who continue gambling even though they've lost and what I'm conveying is an experience I had when I was very active in gambling every day, although not everyone involved in gambling has that kind of motivation to continue gambling even though they've lost a lot.

I still actively play, but after gaining various experiences in gambling, I decided to no longer play as before.

I have a different perspective when it comes to losses. Once it is gone, don't think you can get it back the next time you return. There's a higher chance you won't get it back and the gambling site did press the reset button so your history is gone and RTP won't work anymore.
The motivation is to win big and cover all the losses with some profits, but once it happens a gambler will just keep on gambling more and cannot control his greed. That's the time you will feel like you are lucky and will hit another jackpot until everything is lost again. It's a never-ending cycle.
Just imagine if a gambling site gives back everything that was lost by each gambler, they will be out of business.

I'm sure there is no gambler who loses continuously without ever experiencing at least 1 or 2 wins in every gamble because the casino has what is called a house edge so even though the casino will make a profit from the player's defeat, the player still has a chance to win, it's just that the player loses when can never stop when he wins or stops when he loses, continues to play without control and continues to look for ways to fund his gambling because he wants to recover from previous losses.

If the OP had specified if the constant losses were from one casino or from multiple casinos that would help us answer the question better. But like you said no player would experience a series of losses from one casino. If that happens then the casinos must be a terrible one. However, if playing at multiple casinos results in constant losses the the gambler look for something else like golf or tennis to be come his hobby. Maybe he is under a losing spell that needs to be broken by Harry Potter or Professor Dumbledore .

These are the statements that notably lead a gambler to get more addicted to gambling. Perhaps the thinking that "this next round of my betting I will win and I will get back what I lost for a few rounds" would motivate them to believe optimistically, "This time I will be lucky." Something that has lost its positive qualities while they are unaware of it in themselves.

In other words, they think only positively while losing; they are unaware of how quickly their balance is depleting and won't become aware of it until they are out of money.

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

The reason to continue is just very clear, “To recover the losses”, after losing a game or bet, gamblers will always think that the next game will be in the money, Literally, nobody wants to lose when it comes to gambling, and this is where that gets them going and has been the general mindset of every gambler and their reason to continue betting after countless loses. The very day that a gambler understands this, is likely the time they will tend to take a break or stop.

The losses that we incurred from gambling are definitely the reason that fuel us to gamble more, why? Because it's obvious that we don't want to stay losing all the time. We often bet more despite of countless losses because of the belief that it will be a big win this time. The more you gamble, the higher the urge and excitement to win.  But in reality, the more you gamble, the bigger the amount you spend and lose. However, I don't think gamblers care to accept this fact because what is in our mindset is that we gamble to win and make more money, not to lose and end up pocket empty.

Unfortunately, addicted gamblers only realized the true essence of gambling when they lost everything. That's when they start to understand that when you gamble, know when to stop and when to bet more. But when you keep losing from all your bets, that's a sign that you should stop gambling that day.

The answer depends relatively on each individual, how you play and how you treat gambling itself. let's review it from a gambling perspective. In the gambling game system, not every time we play we will immediately lose. second, what type of game you play. If you play roulette, baccarat, blackjack, one shot with all the money you have, the risk is that you can lose money in just one game. However, the actual scenario is not that simple.

Let's try to discuss other games, for example slot games. In slot games, you are free to bet according to the bet you want. However, in each game session, it will not always be the same when you play. There are times when the game doesn't go as we expected, or the game has a long round, but doesn't drain your balance too much. Not infrequently, after playing for a while, you get a good hit from the free spins you get and get a big or decent profit. Well, if you continue playing for an undetermined period of time, then the probability of losing is very high. Usually, gamblers who play for a long period of time will eventually run out. Likewise with sports betting, you bet on one of the teams, then you win. However, you do not intend to stop the gambling session you are doing.

Well, from some of the examples I mentioned in this post, it could be the answer to your question.
The point is, in gambling there are wins and losses. when you win, you can end it. But if not, you risk losing the winnings you get. Plus, the capital you spend also has the potential to be lost. and this is why, someone tends to always experience defeat rather than victory. even though in reality, the scenario is not what you think or say. The problem is, when you win, you don't want to stop the gambling session. which ends up being like the title of this thread.

It's true what you say; we will occasionally succeed. I found that in slot machines with 100 spins, I only twice won, and each time, the winnings were insignificant compared to the overall sum of my losses. I had a very bad gambling streak throughout those days, and no matter what I gambled, I always lost.

Then I discovered that I lose more when I'm anxious. Because of this, my game comes to a conclusion with a balance of 0, and I am forced to stop because I actually lost.

That's when they start to understand that when you gamble, know when to stop and when to bet more. But when you keep losing from all your bets, that's a sign that you should stop gambling that day.

This is a common occurrence where gamblers often experience the true feeling of gambling when they experience defeat and go bankrupt but at that moment they have no hope of recovering everything they have lost, that's why before it's too late, gamblers should read more and more about whatever is on the forum. This is where they can probably find thousands of suggestions that might make them aware of it.

There are many gamblers who, when they lose, don't stop playing but always continue gambling because they hope to recover the money they lost because of that loss and I'm sure it's impossible for them to enjoy the game because people who enjoy the game definitely know when to gamble and when not to. stop gambling, they are more controlled in gambling than gamblers who have become addicts.

From my experience, you will lose most on the slot games as compared to any other gambling games. Still I would say that you need to develop a plan to be an overall winner in gambling. There is no way you can win all the games in gambling, but if you have a proper plan, there can be a situation where you will win more than lose or at least the total winning amount will be more than the total amount lost in gambling.

Then I discovered that I lose more when I'm anxious. Because of this, my game comes to a conclusion with a balance of 0, and I am forced to stop because I actually lost.

Are you sure that when you are anxious, you will lose more? When you are not anxious, did you mostly win?
I think this is just a myth and you can still lose if you are in a normal relaxed mood:

It mean you are speaking about the targeting the loss by the gambler in the long run.By this way the gambler will do the gambling to recover the loss at the beginning period of gambling.Later they understand the gambling and will play the gambling for the entertainment.The second fact was the luck,the gambler will gamble till their luck was met.Mostly the gambler will play the gambling by expecting the luck in the next game.Once the gambler people become the experienced person,their loss will be considered as the optimistic way of the next luck will help the gambler to get good big win by the luck in gambling.

-snip- Just imagine if a gambling site gives back everything that was lost by each gambler, they will be out of business. 

Yes, the gambling company will not let all the money players lose due to losing while playing on their site be returned in full with the winnings to be regulated. It's not in their dictionary.
The amount of money that the player said had been returned after being counted when the player got the big win, probably came from money from thousands of other players who lost on the day the player won.

I have already mentioned, the motivation for each player to continue playing gambling even though they have lost a lot is different and what I said maybe they believe there will be a win ahead that will cover the amount of money lost, could be one of them.

Absolutely agree to that, somehow I also can't understand that they always suffer defeat at the end of the session but strangely the next day they will come again with higher intentions and expectations and they will say like you said "in the next round I believe I will be able to win to restore the loss in the previous time" but the final result is still the same and still lose. But there is absolutely no change in the mindset and it will always be like issuing a defense for yourself through some assumptions, and I say that's the cycle of addiction in gambling. And even if in the end it still doesn't match the expectations then they will definitely continue to motivate themselves, especially when they get encouragement from others through sight, meaning especially when they see that one of their friends managed to get a big win, then there they will be more aggressive, that's for sure.

Exactly, the fact is that they will always think positively when they lose, but what is meant by positive is that they always think that tomorrow I am sure I will succeed in getting the victory. I can't imagine if they try to count all the money they've spent I'm sure the amount of loss is much greater than the winnings ever obtained.

Usually, if a gambler loses a lot of rounds, perhaps they will continue gambling for a few more rounds to see their luck. However, wise and experienced gamblers will not chase bigger wins because they don't see the possibility of winning even bigger. They will choose to rest for a while and continue playing other slot games. Perhaps in other slot games, they will be luckier and can get bigger wins, although that doesn't guarantee they can win.

If you pay attention to your gambling game and can see how much money you have used, you don't need to wait until your balance becomes 0. You can immediately stop gambling and leave the casino without considering continuing to play slots. But it is true that this slot game is very tempting to play and can make someone continue playing slots without stopping.

This kind of scenery happens many time when we have make some loses and we try to play our last game with the hope to win and get little money from what we have lost. Most time, this kind of game are played with huge optimism so we can at least take something hope. If we play the game and we won, we can be tempted to play again whether that might be the beginning of our winnings. If we play and win again then greed might comes in that would make us lose all that little money we have earned so far even though we have not reach the level of making profit. Greed can be very addictive if we don't work on ourselves.

[redsun114]

What if they don't have a motivation? I mean gambling is just gambling. It's not like any other hard activities like studying or working. Like I said earlier, gambling is only gambling, or only built to entertain people so some of those people you are referring at are playing it this way. Which is why they never mind their losses and this makes them continue playing it.

If you are a type of gambler who are the opposite of them, well, that is the time that you will need a motivation. I think many of those are already given by the users on this thread. Just refer to it. But my own advice is it's better to change your approach towards gambling. So that you won't be forced on quitting it totally. Life will be boring that way.

The more my losses increase in numbers the less I feel motivated to keep gambling and more over it's never meant to be a source of my income so it's more easier to abandon gambling for some while and come back when you are ready.

I used to take my time off gambling most times, like a month or few weeks before I head back into it again, I have also change into a new casino when I noticed that I am losing a lot on a casino, there is nothing wrong changing your favourite casinos and this is why I don't have a favorite casino.

When you win more on a casino it becomes favourite for the time being and when there is no traces of luck on the casino again you move on and look into another, I have tried this with three to four casinos and there isn't much of a difference, I don't need to be motivated about gambling, it's like playing to fight bad luck always and losing wins more than I do.

This kind of scenery happens many time when we have make some loses and we try to play our last game with the hope to win and get little money from what we have lost.

Mostly, gamblers who play for profits have this mindset from the beginning, they don't start thinking this way once they have lost a significant amount, they keep thinking that they will now win something, and even after losing everything and reaching the end of the bankroll, they still keep the hope alive and keep telling themselves that they might actually hit the big win in the last few spins or bets, so they go for it and then come out from the casino empty-handed.

If we play the game and we won, we can be tempted to play again whether that might be the beginning of our winnings. If we play and win again then greed might comes in that would make us lose all that little money we have earned so far even though we have not reach the level of making profit. Greed can be very addictive if we don't work on ourselves.

That's another problem that is found in gamblers playing to earn money, they don't stop when they win something, thinking and hoping that they might win more than what they've won already and that becomes the reason why they eventually lose everything, and then regret the decision they made earlier.

Wrong, slots are not the game that has the most potential to result in losses for gamblers because in slots there is always an RTP which provides small return for gamblers when the RTP in slot game is very high.
And the game that gives the greatest chance of losing is poker because it really depends on the cards you have and also how good you are at processing cards moreover there are competitors who may be better than you so you will experience more losses than wins.
And regarding betting there is only one thing that is the most difficult to win namely the lottery.
And you need to understand that only luck is supporting factor in winning gambling so planning will never provide guarantee.

Then I discovered that I lose more when I'm anxious. Because of this, my game comes to a conclusion with a balance of 0, and I am forced to stop because I actually lost.

I think this is just a myth and you can still lose if you are in a normal relaxed mood:

If anxiety can result in more losses then I agree because when anxious gambler will take several actions hesitantly and even be more likely to be careless.
As for winning it doesn't look like it.
It just that the difference is that when you gamble in relaxed and happy atmosphere you can feel more confident and even better when doing research or applying several strategies.

When they lose a lot of money, they will not think about stopping gambling but will instead think about how to recover their losses. They will continue gambling if they still have a balance in their gambling account. If not, they will deposit another amount of money to continue gambling and try to recover their losses. But they will only lose more money at the gambling table because recovering their losses will be even more difficult. They have to face loss after loss, which may increase. And if they don't realize it, they will only regret it later.

[Sanitough]

There are times they lose and also win. More reason to continue is they are hoping to win. As long as they have funds to bet, I think the gamblers are still going to keep playing. In crypto though, they can use the free spins and some coins we earn.

Either we have the motivation to continue gambling or we are just addicted. Some of us are already in it without minding it. I guess it's still fun to play despite losing many times.

Gamblers do not easily quit despite of their losses, not because they are only addicted, but because they often believe that their losses are just part of gambling that will increase their adrenaline rush to make money and heighten their desire to finally make a big win in the end. With that motivation, they will continue to increase their urge in gambling, that’s why no matter how much they are losing they won’t care about it but will continue to gamble instead in hope for a big and significant wins.

However, for some gamblers, they don’t just focus on winning in the end, but they enjoyed more betting even if they are losing in order to release their stress mentally and emotionally while some also gamble more simply for socialization even if it means losing at times.
