Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling

[FinneysTrueVision]

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?

In any luck based game you will almost always end up losing due to the house edge. Even after losing people might continue gambling due to the thrill that comes with the possibility of making an enormous amount of money in a short amount of time. Some people just want to earn their losses back and that can lead to bigger losses so you must be careful not to lose control or you will end up spiraling downward.

Whenever I've lost big I will just stop gambling for a while and gradually ease back into it later with some smaller wagers.

For those that gamble for fun, I don't think they need another reason for them to gamble rather than just playing and having that fun they came there to do, where losing the game is just part of the game for them and they accept it in good faith.
 
But for anyone who gambles for fun and wins, they probably like to continue in order to chase their losses. By doing this, they believe they will one day be able to win a game that will help them recover all that they have spent during the losing season.

Those are just what I can think, and I also believe that we all have individual beliefs as to why we still continue gambling even knowing the fact that we have lost enough and always don't have winning luck. We all have that individual inner spirit that will either push us to try hard or will advise us to stop.

Just be sure that you would really be sticking out into that principle on which you would really be just that staying on gambling for fun until the very end because frequent doing gambling could really be tha resulting for those kind of intents and on which it might really be that ending up on changing later on specially if you are really that making it as a habit on which those intents could changed up overtime and this is something that you should really be that careful because once you do already make yourself that get addicted then it would really be that hard to get out once you have
been that shackled with it. Losing is inevitable and this is why its really that important that you should really be that sensible on what are the things that you do encounter.

You would really be that making yourself that aware or wary about the principle of gambling and on how it should really be treated in the first place on which
it is really just that only for fun.

I get why people keep betting even when they lose.  Each new bet feels exciting and hopeful, like maybe this one will be the big win.  It's kinda like chasing a high.  For other folks, it's just entertainment, even if they're not winning and  theres also the social part - some enjoy betting with friends and chatting about it.

What's so fun about betting, even if you are losing? Where is the entertainment there? Chasing losses is the worst thing that a gambler will do, and I don't think there is a gambler out there who is still entertained despite having suffered a lot of losses or facing numerous losses. I don't know if you know what you are saying. Maybe for you, you still enjoy that, but not for the other gamblers, because when you lose, there's no entertainment in it. That's why I don't disagree with your statement. Example: If you lose big, will that be okay with you? No, of course you are a person who loses money that you've earned. I don't discriminate against you; your understanding of gambling seems wrong. I know many readers here also disagree with you, and if you do what you are saying, please stop that. Losing in gambling is not fun; that's not entertainment.

There are some reasons which can explain that behavior, to begin with a person could lose several times when they gamble, but if the amount they are using is low then those losses have no effect at all on their finances and they can keep going as if nothing happened, however a more perturbing option is that such person is addicted to gambling, and in that case they will disregard all the money they have lost and they will keep gambling even if they are damaging themselves and others by doing so.

I once won a big bet in gambling but not long after four days I experienced a big loss too. After that, I rested for a while to control my emotions, then I gambled again because for me it is important to control this first before continuing to gamble. Of course you gamble and hope to win, but self-control is also important.

If you have lost, then you deliberately force yourself to gamble again at the same time, which is very dangerous for your emotions and it is possible that losses will come your way again.

In essence, I have also experienced losses in gambling. But I try to stay calm, because if you force it again, you could fall into the category of gambling addiction. You can't control yourself which in the end you only increase your losses and can even end up getting into debt.

Betting or gambling with friends is very common in many country. In fact, many people become friends because of this one habit. In some forms of games like cards, this is very common even in offline gambling.

Of course, it's one way to make friends as well even in traditional based casinos, you sit on one table, you converse and talk to the other players. And then, in the next couple of days you might see him/her again playing the same games, like baccarat or black jack. And then you sit on that table and another conversation happen.

In this matter, it is true that I admit that this gambling activity has a pretty good chance in terms of adding friends, and it is true that this has become very common in various countries. If you're looking for an online or offline gambling experience, it's definitely possible that you'll make new friends, chatting at a table with a glass of beer and talking about your gambling experience is something that is very likely to happen to every gambler. And also in my opinion you can get a pretty good game from the information your friends provide there and I have also experienced that, tried some of the suggested games and it turns out that yes the results are very good, I can get some wins even though the amount is not too large, it will strengthen our friendship.

But regarding your questions, maybe they want to chase the money that they have lost in their gambling. And so even if they are losing frequently, they still believed that one day they are going to be lucky and recover the money. But not sure if that is enough though, as gamblers didn't record their winning/losing.

It is very possible and usually from all gamblers most of them will have assumptions like what you said friend, going to gamble with the intention of returning the defeat in the previous time, all gamblers must have experienced this mindset even though this is wrong but it is natural because it is gambling that is very annoying when losing and usually we will not accept the defeat, especially for gamblers who have just come as beginners. The strange thing is that even though in the end defeat always dominates but they still believe that the next time they will succeed in getting the intended victory, and yes still lose haha. I'm sure that anyone if they calculate their gambling then surely the facts will say that the number of defeats is much greater than the victory, that's gambling and luck.

enhhh, you see...not really much of a motivation than just being hopeful... The winnings displayed everyday advert on the net is also a motivational factor. It's easy to hold back the gullible ones to keep wagering until whenever they feel tired of doing so.
'em peers could also be an aid ... Cus when you see your friends winning, you'll always wanna keep trying even begind close doors too.

Losing is part of gambling. Many gets used to it. At the beginning even a small loss pains, and slowly people gets used to it. Most of the time after big loss gamblers take decision not to gamble anymore. But the temptation to gamble never lets them free. After little break the gambler begins to wager with small amount. This continues for some time period and further slowly the old way of wagering starts. Every gambler used to be in loss and somewhere they could've experienced profit and those moments give the hope of winning and continue gambling.

In my own opinion, I think it's only when you're addicted to gambling that you'll always betting frequently even when it is too obvious that you're losing. A lot of people who I think are gamble addicts but claim they're not will always come up with the idea that they're just trying to gamble more just because they don't easily feel defeated.
One thing I learnt about gambling is that it's very good to stop gambling when you're losing quit gambling for two or three days before you can  go back again because if you try to gamble more, you're very likely to lose your money.

There's no one who is a gambler that can come to claim that ever since he has been gambling, he never loose a game, then the purpose at which we all gambles are different from each other, some are doing it for the fun it gives while others are only gambling because they wanted to make money from it, this same thing is what often determines why and how people get over it each time they gamble and loose.

We all have purpose, mine is quite different from yours because this system operates differently. All we need to do is to keep pushing for better results in gambling. There's really a whole lot to learn about the system, we ought to keep everything plain and simple. Gambling for fun is good but gambling to earn a living is totally out of the picture. Gambling is stage by stage, we gamble to earn significant money in the system, we are also anticipating in difficult games because it's risky, but we have nothing to care about other than our accomplishments setted out.

If the gambler had loss the game for several times,he need to stop the game for certain period of time.Then he should make a note of probability of the game in a separate sheet.So he can create an new tactics for the game,then the gambler start the game.So he can do the apply of the tactics to the game,if the tactics work in the game.Then he can rebuild the same game and win the money more than the loss money.But he need to ready for the game and to create a tactics for the same game.If the strategy was not work on the game,he need to do the new strategy for the game.The most important thing is he ready to create a many strategy for the same game.

Gamblers sink an increasing sum of money into their efforts to win. They becomes less risk averse and more willing to place a bet to get it all back, especially if they feels like the defeat was nearly a win. I think their motivation to continue is their high hopes of winning back their losses, They think that they are so close to winning, that if they just try once more, surely they’ll win this time which is a very dangerous mindset to have.

[Solosanz]

Curiosity of how big they can make through gambling, I disagree if people are lose too frequently in gambling, they must be make small amount of profit, but they're greedy enough. It's true in the long run the gamblers will lose, but it's not mean you should always to gamble your money without cash out your winnings.

There's no guarantee you will hit jackpot if you keep gamble.

[Coin_trader]

If the gambler had loss the game for several times,he need to stop the game for certain period of time.

Agreed to this. Nothing beats stop and having rest for awhile when we are in consistent loss in gambling so that we will not commit any illogical decision making when we are chasing losses. It happened to me a lot of time when I’m a newbie but right now I have a complete control over it.

Then he should make a note of probability of the game in a separate sheet.So he can create an new tactics for the game,then the gambler start the game.So he can do the apply of the tactics to the game,if the tactics work in the game.Then he can rebuild the same game and win the money more than the loss money.But he need to ready for the game and to create a tactics for the same game.If the strategy was not work on the game,he need to do the new strategy for the game.The most important thing is he ready to create a many strategy for the same game.

This what I find not factually correct. Gambling result is pure random especially slot games which use an RNG to determine the result of the game. It’s impossible to come up with a strategy for game that has a very random result. Each bet result is not related or relevant to the other bet which means the records that you will doesn’t make sense since there’s no pattern out of it.

Gambling is purely based on luck and the best strategy you can only use is to rely on your
luck and properly manage your bankroll to avoid huge losses before you become lucky.

That's right, there is no guarantee of getting the jackpot, but those who don't get the jackpot will continue to try to win. That's making someone want to keep playing, apart from being greedy and addicted, there are also a gambler those who want to get the big win sensation. I know, not all gamblers are like this, but many of them are not greedy, but they are just waiting for themselves to get the sensation of winning and another gambling for fun even losing a lot of money already.

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 apparent reason is that they are addicted. They are trying to get back the money they lost. Or they have won some money, but their greed still doesn't want to stop there, so they continue to bet bigger. They see this as a place to make money and get rich quickly.
One more reason is that they are financially well off. They see this as an entertaining game. They want to reduce stress in daily life. At that time, winning and losing became less important to them.

You're totally right about card games, whether at a casino or just hanging at home.  Games like poker or blackjack have been popular for ages, both for fun games with friends and high-roller matches at casinos.  Card games are a tradition thats been around forever and doesn't seem to be going anywhere.  it's like human nature to gather around a table and play.

What's so fun about betting, even if you are losing? Where is the entertainment there?

Haha! You don't seem to know much about the psychology of the average gambler. Here's an interesting fact: In almost all countries of the world, a lottery drawing is held at least once a week. Although only a small number of people win, and the jackpot is so rare that we almost forget when it was last drawn, yet thousands / millions of people play again every new round? How do you explain that?

That's why I don't disagree with your statement.

Wait, you don't disagree with my statement? So you agree? Do you even know what you are saying? 

Example: If you lose big, will that be okay with you? No, of course you are a person who loses money that you've earned. I don't discriminate against you; your understanding of gambling seems wrong. I know many readers here also disagree with you, and if you do what you are saying, please stop that. Losing in gambling is not fun; that's not entertainment.

You're absolutely right.  Losing money gambling is definitely not fun! But people see gambling differently.  Some like the excitement and not knowing what will happen next and  that's why they do it.  But if you think gambling will for sure make you money, you're kidding yourself.  That's been proven wrong many times before.

I mostly lose to every gambling session I play on right now as I mostly play dice or slots currently and I already expect it to happen. Even though I know my luck isn't great I still continue to play and gamble in hopes of hitting a high winning streak and be able to cash out big just like I've already experienced before. Also, apart from the winnings, I tend to socialize and enjoy each of my session with the gambling friends I've already have on chat which kept me from coming back everytime.
