Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling

[Mr. Magkaisa]

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 don't think there is any motivation to talk about why a gambler keeps coming back to a gambling casino. Just for example, I just play for fun; maybe with other gamblers, they come back because they think they are lucky the day they gamble in the casino.

Or unless you are an addicted gambler, for sure you will come back because the body of a gambling addict is looking for it, and this is his routine, of course. Even if he has no money, he will find a way to gamble too, right?

[slapper]

I think it depends on what games people are losing with. Some times of casino or gambling games are where people expect to lose quite frequently.  Where winning is something not expected to happen often.  I would compare games like this to scratch of lotto tickets.  People tend to win just enough to keep them coming back.  Otherwise I don't think people would keep playing if all they did was lose.

I definitely agree that this varies depending on the game of choice. As someone who usually gambles for fun, I play slot games knowing that I will lose and thinking that I will use all my balance for fun especially when I first start playing slot games. Of course, sometimes I get unexpectedly high winnings and in this case I continue playing slots with a certain amount depending on the amount of the winnings and transfer some of it to my wallet. In such cases I gamble more often than usual because I earn money from gambling. So, actually winnings is something that causes me to gamble more often or more.

In addition, in raffles or instant games of chance that occur frequently such as lotteries or scratch-offs I usually buy tickets a maximum of 3 tickets just to try my luck. In this way, I can try my chances of gaining large amounts of money without losing too much money and I regularly gamble with games of chance.

Slot games usually result in losses, therefore you're right. It's important to play for fun. Winning is a plus, right? Putting winnings in your wallet is sensible. The strategy is good

Buying no more than three lottery and scratch-off tickets is smart. Avoiding losing too much while enjoying the thrill of maybe winning big is key. Playing smart, really smart. Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make. You're not overinvesting in chance games. Try your luck without overdoing it. Gamble smartly that way. Risk management is what it's about. Keep trying, but the house typically wins. Play intelligently, have fun, and manage your risks

You are correct, most times I do conclude that it is a bit hard to quit gamble, more especially those that are well familiar with it.
It is not easy to stop gamble unless one might relocate to an island were there isn't anything related to gamble and being totally separate from the internet but is is hard to do those things.
Many gamblers things that they can only say that they will not gamble again and that's all,,, no, it is not an easy task for a well gambler to totally quite gambling, unless the person might just take a break for a while.
I say this because in my country I have seen a lot of people that tried to quit smoking and some of them can't quit but few can,,,, however smoking is very much different from gamble but I just used it as an example.

If the gambler feel themselves like get addicted to the gambling,it will be the better time to quit the gambling.But it’s true hard for the gambler to get away from the gambling addiction easily.When ever the gambling addicted person get the money,he get some temp to play the game with that money.Because he was in the loss and the loss should be recovered by the upcoming game was the opinion of the gambler.The frequent loss in the gambling was the biggest reason for the gambler get addicted to the gambling,but one big win enough for the gambler to get away from the gambling addiction.

This all happens because the player has established an emotional connection with the game. After a loss, he wants to win back, this is the usual behavior of the average person. But if you look at it from the outside, nothing special happened, gambling games are not obliged to give money to losing players, it is just a matter of chance and luck. Therefore, you need to approach the game with your mind, not your emotions. But many will not listen to me and will continue to lose more and more, spiraling into a spiral of debt, unfortunately.

They certainly believes gambling is a game of win or loss so they basically get addicted to gambling that even when they looses it becomes a usually.
But at most points, they would want to quit instead of being on the loosing table at all times but they are very mean to atleast make a one time count winning before they quit because they can't afford to loose it all. And on the same note while striving to make just a one count winning is the more they have to keep gambling.

I know about a friend who has been on the loosing gambling table but he keep having this interpersonal believe that somedays he would win and when he wins it is going to be a big winning that would pay him off from all he has lost in gambling with an interest and then he would just stop gambling.

That belief and mindset is what costs a gambler more money over time because they keep thinking that they will eventually recover their money if they continue gambling but that day never comes. I've seen this happening to a lot of people, they would start gambling with a small amount, lose it, deposit a higher amount to recover the previous one, and lose that one as well, the process continues until they lose a significant sum and then they start hoping that they will get a single big win and recover it all and they keep increasing their bet size to get that but to no avail.

I always tell people to not do this because this will only make them go deeper and deeper into the ocean of gambling addiction, and one day in the future, they will have lost almost everything they have ever had and then there will be no point in regretting since nothing will come back once it's gone.

Sometimes not many people want to listen to anyone's advice if they originally intended to gamble to make money and win, let alone advising people who have become addicts, it is difficult to tell them that whatever they are chasing and doing is to recover their losses or find what they hope for. it's not as easy as what streamers and gambling influencers usually show, it's all fake

Moreover, why are there still people who still think that gambling can make you rich instantly even though it is clear that around us most of the gamblers are not necessarily successful and rich, most of them go bankrupt and fall into serious addiction, I am also sometimes concerned about the situation of these people. gamblers like that even though they should be able to enjoy gambling only as entertainment.

Addiction could be a motivation although it's a negative motivation but then it's actually a motivation because it came with this continually drive to always get back at the casino with hopes of definitely winning big some day and probably recovering all they has ever been lost.

Sometimes the need to satisfy that urge as a gambler will definitely keep the gamblers coming back to the casino wether they are winning or not but then it's actually a bad motivation as it's fuelled by false hope most of the times. Another could be the fun the person probably drives gambling especially for those who aren't gamblers and aren't gambling to make money or as a job opportunity but maybe for just the fun.

It seems that they already exceed from the suppose budget both time and money, getting to into addiction is not by far if you treat gambling as a source of your income, you are aiming for something that will going to generate money instead of having some entertainment and not to pressure yourself but instead to enjoy every sessions that you play.

Listening to those advise are commonly disregarded by people who thinks that they are just fine and they are still doing the right thing, but in reality, they are already attached and engage too much.

It depends, not all the facts are true as OP said and asked in this thread. There are many gamblers who always lose in their gambling, then they stop because they feel tired or for various other reasons. although it cannot be denied, there are many cases like what the OP said, even though they always lose, someone still visits the casino to carry out their gambling session.

Well, I can confirm what you say in your own version. and I can understand it, because after all someone can do a habit for the sole reason of looking for fun. even in this context, someone always loses. That could be the case, especially if someone is only spending a small bankroll of just a few dollars. yep, just for fun. Likewise with the second point, we agree with this. What's more, even if someone doesn't have money, he will find a way to get it.
The point is, we can conclude that the person is indicated to be a compulsive gambler. At this point, it all comes back to each person and how they respond to this hobby. the most important thing is, recognize the risks and avoid things that lead to things that end in something negative.

Whether we like it or not, it is difficult to make someone realize their wrongdoings and mindset toward gambling if their thinking has been focused on - becoming rich in gambling. Whether we like it or not, many gamblers are still blind not to see the truth about gambling, and sad to say that they are wrong with their approach.

Perhaps, there is no wrong about gambling but if we go beyond our limitations --expenses and time, that is not a healthy gambling anymore and much more if we are chasing our losses.

[Westinhome]

Yes but the problem is that it is quite difficult for most gamblers to realize that they have entered the addiction phase, usually they will be able to find out if there is one of the closest people who know about their gambling involvement and tell them that they have gone too far, they will not be that easy to realize that they are addicted, because they gamble usually unconsciously as a result of lust and greed that they always carry. As in general people who are already addicted they are very selfish in gambling, always want to win but do not want to lose, it is one of the reasons because of their wrong mindset and most likely they think that they can get money from gambling, when in fact it is just nonsense.

Well that's right, a person who is addicted to gambling usually when he gets money, his main concern is gambling, they are happy because they get capital to gamble and do not think about the risk of losing there. If they lose then they will chase defeat and if they win they will be greedy, that is the cycle of people who are already addicted, there is nothing better except trying to stop but it is difficult, and maybe only time can answer everything I think.

The losing in the gambling is not the miracle one,it was the half the chance of winning and half chance for the loss.So if you want to play the gambling,you should understand the fact the loss also the part of the game.When my one of the friend had loss 700 dollars in the gambling and asked the other friend for the loan for the emergency.But the answer from my other friend is he asked you had 700 dollars for gambling and don’t have money for the emergency.The fact is the win or loss is common one gambling,this simple was not understood by the other friends.If you had unfortunately made the continuous loss,like this situation you will face.So make a gap when you get continuous loss in the game.

Exceeded from the supposed budget will get into something not right, maybe addiction or being in debt. I always say it to other, that gambling should not supposed to treat as a job or main source of income because it will lead you in obsession in the long run, which is not healthy in your physical and mental health but some may not follow these advices because they have their own strategy on how to manage their gambling habit.

[Doan9269]

Let's be honest with this, do we think the rate at which some gamblers do lost their game each time they are gambling over a long time is enough to serves as discouragement for them to continue with gambling, maybe we just need to understand this that some are not just gambling because they are after making money or chasing after their losses, they don't mind using any amount for gambling as long as it will serve them right their desired purpose.

[mamesso]

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?

One of the reasons is because there is hope in it, apart from that are emotional factors, logical factors and hormonal factors which cause someone to continue gambling even though they often experience defeat. A person's emotions will increase when the situation is almost winning but ultimately loses, this challenge will increase emotions to take back all the money that has been spent. The logical factor also plays an important role in causing gamblers to dare to take risks even though they often lose, winning is the ultimate goal, when other people have just won big, they will play logic by thinking "if other people can win, I can also win like them ".
When emotions and logic have mastered a person, hormones will work which encourage a person to repeat the activities they do, especially since there is excitement, challenges and hope.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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 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.

It would seem this is true for the majority of the gamblers out there, while a session in which we win is quite nice to remember and we may tell others about it for a long time, a small look at our betting history should reveal those sessions are not very common, with the most likely outcome is to suffer some small losses each time we decide to gamble, which should not be too much of a problem as we are supposed to only use a small amount of money when we gamble.

Yes, things are indeed like that, personally I have always said that in my entire life as a player I know that I have lost more than I have won, what happens is that over time one becomes a little more expert and can close a little bit about the losses, it may be that we play with more intelligence and I have discovered two things, that the budget that is willing to lose is the one that always has to be available, as the first option and second, it is something that still bothers me, When I play and I have profits, what should be done is that one as a player be satisfied with those small profits, because even if they are very few, because that adds up and increases, little by little, if you play every day, because it adds up, it will never You have to play with a lot of money to win a lot, because if you play with a lot then you can lose that and much more, then these are the tips that I have learned, it should be noted that for my gaming sessions per Day they do not exceed 10usd , yes it is Enough at 10usd simple loss, I don't play anymore, but if in a 10usd game session I reach 12usd I leave it there and continue playing the next day, with the very 10usd without touching the 2usd profit, that is What I have learned, and so far it gives results, at the end I am no longer left with a Goal equal to zero.

Of course, this is normal, in many juice sessions, people can suffer many losses, in a casino this is normal, and there is no reason to be ashamed, because things can happen like this, and when we look at it we are doing things like this. It should be, never as something that is improper, but the caisnos have every advantage to win , because that is why they are Graduated , with an Advantage of the case for them to have Profits , no one sets up a business or a Company to Suffer Losses That's Never the case, so when we do things that way we have to Settle for having those things clear that are super Important , and we never get out of Control.

A lot of people fall into cognitive dissonance, which means they treasure their wins and downplay their losses. Your strategy, which is based on smart planning and gaming, is exactly what makes you a disciplined player versus a careless one. When you play video games, you walk a fine line. One mistake can send you into a downward spiral of loses. Putting a strict limit on yourself, like your 10USD limit, protects you from the terrible effects of playing too much. A lot of people should learn from you.

The truth is, though, that casinos are set up to be predators, and players are their prey. Their only goal is to make an environment where they always come out on top. It doesnt matter how smart or skilled you are; the house always wins. This is something you already know and using it as a guide for your games is not only smart, its necessary. It might be less sneaky for big losses to happen if more people understood this and acted on it. You're being played if you're not in control of the situation.

A series or pile of losses would be completely be eradicated or would be completely be removed by a single win specially if the amount would really be that significant on which it would really be just that normal for a certain gambler to have that kind of reaction. Losing is inevitable on gambling and this is why you should really be making yourself get prepared on the time that you would really be able to experience this specially on severe
or consecutive manner.It would really be playing out your emotions and mindset on which you would really be possibly be making more bad decisions if you dont snap out of it specially
when you are on a frustration condition.

A person who is in a casino has to take into consideration the most real thing in the world, and that is that they can lose, that is the most natural thing in the world in casinos, in games of chance, that is taken as something normal, because the The casino has its house edge and this makes things look very normal. There are friends who enter a game and I ask them how they are doing, and they tell me that it is good, but I know that It's not like that, I know that they have lost and they are embarrassed to admit it, when I tell them that I lost in a game that you have to take advantage of lucky breaks to win and that you withdraw the money when you are winning, that is the easiest way to win, otherwise I think that things can get complicated because people get the wrong idea of what which means to play and enjoy, to learn that the most important thing is to play, to participate in casino games.

I know that many seek to win, it's normal, we do everything, but we have to have a degree of maturity when thinking about accidents as they are, because we know that in a casino you lose and we can't do anything, there are some who think that if they put in a lot money to the casino because they have more options to win and that's not the case, it doesn't work like that because when you try to do things more focused on winning, people feel bad when they lose, and some think that the casino is stealing from them When this is not the case, then these types of things are what all people should consider before entering a casino, otherwise, it is preferable that they not play so that they do not feel bad later, because it is hard when a person feels deceived, outraged and does not know what it really means to play in a casino, if everyone started out that the casino was invented to make us have fun, enjoy and that from that enjoyment we can win, it would be different, because casinos themselves are a business.

Yes, some of them are okay with using any amount to gamble because the limits each gambler has will definitely be different. The important thing is that each gambler has their limits in gambling so that they can accept their losses even if they are big losses so that they will not regret spending a lot of money. They can achieve their goals in gambling, where they get pleasure from gambling. And if they lose as much as the money they deposited, it means they can accept the loss and will not try to recover their losses. But if they can't accept their losses and try to recover them, it means they are trying to chase their losses and are just gambling and trying to make money.

Casinos combine fun and riisk. The key point you made is that losing is part of the game. Gambling inherently involves it. Any casino experience should be based on this idea. Playing with eyes open is more important than outsmarting the system

Your concept about friends hiding losses resonates. A facade, right? We try to play it cool, invincible gambler, but the house edge is always there. Accepting losing as part of the game and walking away is wise. Gambling is about accepting the facts and the emotions

The misconception about pumping more money to increase winning chances needs dispelling. It leads to dissatisfaction and the casino being painted as a robber. Casinos are a business, not a cash cow, therefore you must change your thinking. Fun and potential winnings are the focus. If gamblers put fun before winning, their casino experience changes. Participation becomes more exciting than defeat. Worth playing that game.

I always tell people to not do this because this will only make them go deeper and deeper into the ocean of gambling addiction, and one day in the future, they will have lost almost everything they have ever had and then there will be no point in regretting since nothing will come back once it's gone.

Sometimes not many people want to listen to anyone's advice if they originally intended to gamble to make money and win, let alone advising people who have become addicts, it is difficult to tell them that whatever they are chasing and doing is to recover their losses or find what they hope for. it's not as easy as what streamers and gambling influencers usually show, it's all fake

Moreover, why are there still people who still think that gambling can make you rich instantly even though it is clear that around us most of the gamblers are not necessarily successful and rich, most of them go bankrupt and fall into serious addiction, I am also sometimes concerned about the situation of these people. gamblers like that even though they should be able to enjoy gambling only as entertainment.

It seems that they already exceed from the suppose budget both time and money, getting to into addiction is not by far if you treat gambling as a source of your income, you are aiming for something that will going to generate money instead of having some entertainment and not to pressure yourself but instead to enjoy every sessions that you play.

Listening to those advise are commonly disregarded by people who thinks that they are just fine and they are still doing the right thing, but in reality, they are already attached and engage too much.

Exceeded from the supposed budget will get into something not right, maybe addiction or being in debt. I always say it to other, that gambling should not supposed to treat as a job or main source of income because it will lead you in obsession in the long run, which is not healthy in your physical and mental health but some may not follow these advices because they have their own strategy on how to manage their gambling habit.

Continually exceeding from your set target will lead you to much bigger risk, like what you mentioned either you can resort to more loans and barrowing money from relatives and friends or to the point that you will loan or use your credit cards to continue playing, things that will also be the reason of getting addicted, there's always a big chance that without any good control with your emotions it's always have a negative side effects that you will going to face.

Better to listen and adopt from those who experienced it before and learn from their mistake to avoid doing it or to lessen the chance of repeating those mistake on your way with your gambling participation.

I know about a friend who has been on the loosing gambling table but he keep having this interpersonal believe that somedays he would win and when he wins it is going to be a big winning that would pay him off from all he has lost in gambling with an interest and then he would just stop gambling.

That's an addicted or on the road to addiction type of gambler. Most people who lose often are off this mentality because they feel all the stories and news they see online which portray people are actually true, well some are true but making this a base to your upsession will just make things worst because with this kind of mindset, nothing ever plays again in your mind except the winning mentality which is like a dream that might or might not be possible someday.

[Litzki1990]

It is natural that those who participate in every gamble will lose most of their gambling. Losing is very common for those who just gamble without checking. Gambling does not mean that you just keep on betting one after the other but that you should participate in the gambles where you have a high probability of winning and where you can be guaranteed. If you see someone who participates in every gambling game and doesn't feel like gambling then you can consider him as a gambling addict. We should never become addicted to gambling, we should gamble with our own intelligence. You gamble that will make you money, you don't need to gamble that will rob you of your money. Everyone's gambling objective is to make money; if we knowingly lose money, we would be fools.
