why do people always play gambling even if they always lose?

[angrybirdy]

It's not magical, it's psychological.

This is the key. They know they shouldn't keep betting, but a kind of compulsion drives them to do so. As for what the OP asks where they get the money to keep doing it, there are many ways, savings, quick loans, credit cards, selling things. All to keep fueling their addiction. In this they are not much different from a drug addict, the most notable difference being that they do not consume a substance, it is the brain that secretes it.

You also forgot the criminal or illegal ways that they can get their money from because as an addict that's a likely thing to happen and I think it's worth mentioning because it's a good way to raise awareness that addiction leads to crime also due to the fact that desperation can happen. To be honest, an addict is all the same in a sense, what they're addicted to is the only difference, it's debatable though as there are a lot of stuff that you can be addicted to that doesn't have to make you do crime out of desperation.

It seems that addiction to drugs and gambling has almost the same effect, it is true that a person can lead to crime, especially when he or she is no longer able to control his mind and actions.
It's hard to explain but it really happens and there are more and more people who are killed by gambling, especially those who are behind or owe someone else, it's not new to me to hear about syndicates killing someone who owes them. That's how gambling and money affects us if we don't know how to control ourselves.

Does this hope of a gambler to win in gambling ever die ? No matter, how much one loses in gambling, still the hope of winning is there ?
That i really strange, isn't ?

I tried to find out the reason for this gambler's behavior and thought that maybe the gamblers see other people's big wins and are inspired by them. Perhaps the gamblers thought since other gamblers can win in gambling, why can't they. They are of the view that if they keep on trying, one day they will have success in gambling and they may hit a jackpot and change their lives altogether.

However, i must insist that gamblers should not be too much optimistic and also they should keep track of their losses and make sure that they do not invest too much money, that they feel depressed about losing that amount of money. There is no harm in keeping on trying but still one should be responsible and not be too much relaxed.

A gambler's hope of winning will never die, and this hope will be even greater if they can win a small amount of money. They will continue to gamble and think that they are getting closer to their big win and should not stop before they get their big win. But that will not allow them to get a big win, but instead will get a loss.

We will not know the reasons for the gambler's behaviour because there are many reasons they will say, especially if they often see big wins made by other people. This inspires them, so it will make them gamble more often than usual because they still have those hopes in their minds. They still think that one day they will be successful from gambling but they don't think about what if it turns out they only lose and end up with a serious gambling addiction.

There must be awareness among gamblers to use only what is necessary so that they lose more money than they can afford. This is to prevent feelings of guilt because you have not been able to win the gambling game. And it's true, there's no harm in playing gambling responsibly and relaxedly so that we can keep ourselves within the limits of gambling. We also shouldn't force ourselves to gamble, especially if we have already won, regardless of the winning amount.

[Obim34]

Op let me start from your first paragraph. A friend of yours told you about his gambling losses and you're saying here the story was stupid? Wow! You can't solve a problem for you friend because he was expecting you to tell him a word of encouragement and also guide him how he will not loss again and that probably tell him to stop gambling so that he will not loss the money which is meant to do another thing. But instead you insulted him, he would not tell you anything another time again. He discussed that with you to find a lasting solution but you turn it down.

And those young guys that plays gamble with job always get money for gambling even though they don't have money for other things. They get money from daily work at building sites, from friends and from begging. And they use it to gamble.

No, seems you got what he meant in the first paragraph. OP said his story makes him look stupid not basically his friend being stupid but the way he acted was not impressive to OP from his explanation.

I wonder where they get the money for deposits?: Most of them who do nothing but always gambling usually sell off their properties or beg money from friends and family just to meet up their standard of betting.

why they repeat that? They feel just one lucky day to which they will win wholesomely so they need keep it consistent.

Addection is the most harmful think ever in life. Because one you are addected with it you play lot of gamble and play huge if they faces loss. Because in their mind they always target to recover loss. Emotion always effect and that time a gambler always take wrong stape for recover losses. That the reason we say that people always gambling when the are in loss. Because they are always in that mind to any how recover the losses.

If a gambler can expect to win and maintain a responsible gambling, then he wouldn't have any problem in his gambling journey. The aim of most gamblers is to have a jackpot someday. That's why they'll continue gambling even if they always lose. That goal doesn't go off easily, it keep recurring in the gambler's brain and he wouldn't stop if he wins. Hence, gambling is an activity for gamblers, which can't be forgotten easily. Our aim of gambling differs and we can't say for sure, but I'd say that when losing lots of money while gambling, I wouldn't gamble anymore because it seems uncertain what could be the next outcome. Contrarily, others see it as an opportunity to stake more money, and earn lots of money if a win result eventually shows up. Sometimes it'll work while in most scenario it wouldn't work out. Such people also need to know about the need to manage their money and stop when it seems unsafe to gamble. Losing continuously is not advisable.

I always hear stories of friends who always lose playing online gambling. I don't know what his purpose to tell his story to me. even it's clear, his story makes him look stupid.

Besides that, in another place, Many young people around to me still play slot gambling even don't have a job and always lose. I wonder where they get the money for deposits? and why they repeat that?. I don't know what the reason reason that doesn't bother them, they should have given up, and changed the game that makes them profitable. if I always lose in the game, I will change the type of game, example If I always lose on a slot, I will change the type of game like sports betting until my capital is back and try the luck again to the slot.

What makes me curious is not why your friend doesn't change his game when he loses, but how he can continue to fund his gambling even though he doesn't have a job, which means he doesn't have any income, and that will be the answer if you ask your friend directly.
Can changing games change the results that can be obtained? I think it doesn't always work because if the game is still based on luck then it will remain the same unless it is changed to a game that requires skill or analysis.
Your friend may already be in the addiction category where he finds it difficult to give up the game even though he keeps losing or he only talks about his losses but actually, he also wins something which he hides because he doesn't want to let other people know that he has money.

Gambling is so addictive, which is why everyone engaging in it has to be careful even before their first bet. They need to be conscious of themselves every time they enter the gambling house or their gambling platform so that they will not be easily carried away. Gambling has its spirit, it is this same spirit that pushes people when it enters them. But being cautious and always staying alert will avert the evil it can cause through the sensitivity of the person.

Besides, I would like you to know that some people believe that they will make their entire money in this world through betting, this is one of the major reasons you see them coming back. When they lose today, they will believe it was just a day bad, and they will want to try the next day or any other time they have money to gamble. But before they know it, they might have already been addicted to it.

To some people, it is the desperation of revenge. They would want to collect the money they lost into gambling back, but instead, it will worsen the situation.

And to the last set, they merely love gambling as a hobby and will always like to gamble to get the entertainment out of it. This set of people might like some specific gambling sections that keep them occupied and kill boredom for them. Yet, I expect the people in this category to still be wise and careful, they need to moderate everything and gamble only with a small amount of money to avoid addiction and wastage.

Yet, I expect the people in this category to still be wise and careful, they need to moderate everything and gamble only with a small amount of money to avoid addiction and wastage.

well, this is an important point in everything we are talking about here, that the reason gamblers continue to gamble even though they are losing is because they consider gambling like a hobby that can provide entertainment and of course with everything that has been planned not to spend too much money on gambling and obey the rules. predetermined limits.

of the several reasons why gamblers still bet even though they always lose, perhaps the most common and most reasonable reason is just what you said, because we would certainly consider it something ridiculous if a gambler continued to bet because he wanted to win, even though betting 10 times is not necessarily true giving a win even if you get a win will definitely not be equivalent to the losses that have been incurred.
therefore, considering gambling as a hobby may be one way to continue gambling safely but still have to adhere to the limits that have been planned so as not to gamble excessively.

I guess it's the thrill of winning or hitting a jackpot that keeps gamblers playing. Even at most of the time we lose, there's a feeling of pride and contentment whenever we win something back when gambling and not to mention it really is a huge adrenaline boost when you are about to hit a jackpot or win something big. Another thing is, gambling is a good form of entertainment, even with money involved it takes away your mind of your daily stress and worries even just for a while, this is also one of the reasons why many people slowly turn into gambling addicts, they start gambling out of habit or for entertainment but ends up spending everything they have due to addiction.

Gambling exploits the brain's reward system. A complicated mix of hope, excitement, and the occasional adrenaline surge of victory makes gambling more than a game of chance. This emotional combination can overwhelm, so self-awareness is key. We must accept risks and exercise self-control. Understanding addiction's mechanisms is crucial; a casual gamble can lead to an obsessive habit

Gambling for rapid wealth is a deadly myth. The chances are usually against us in this game of probabilities. This belief system needs reality testing. Revenge gambling is also dangerous. Not winning back losses, but knowing when to stop. Aspect of entertainment? It can be entertaining, but moderation is crucial. As you noted, even recreational gamblers must be careful. Finding a balance between exhilaration and addiction is key. Remember, gambling should be fun, not a habit

[LDL]

Gambling has two possibilities, one is loss and the other is profit. But many a times many gamblers end up going bankrupt due to repeated gambling losses but cannot come out of gambling addiction. One of the main reasons for this is that the gambler thinks that even if he loses repeatedly, he can recover all his past losses at the last moment. Even after repeated losses, the gambler continues to gamble repeatedly with only the possibility of recovery.
No gambler has been successful till date with the possibility of this recovery, but from my personal experience I have repeatedly lost gambling bets and have not seen any chance of profit till now. So if you lose repeatedly, you should stop gambling for a few days.

What if you completely have no idea of what or which game and who to bet on in sports betting?, will you still just go ahead and bet on any random team your guts tell you will win?, when you are not exactly and cant back your decision with facts, possibly because you are not a sports person, will you still go ahead and bet if this is the type of gambler that you are?

And do not also forget that even in sports betting, bettors still lose, and sometimes, they lose most of their bets and yet, they keep betting regardless.
It is commonly said that hope is what drives gamblers, gamblers, and I mean real gamblers, don't look or give attention to their present loses, but rather, how hope to make them to continue to look onto and into the future, for the present can be deceiving, a gambler who stopped gambling because of his or her present loses, do not know what awaits him or her in the future, and if he or she was going to win a huge some of money in the future, he or she will never get to win that money because, he or she already stopped gambling.

[Peanutswar]

Once you experience win one time surely you will seek to find more and hope to win more. That is the possible reason why your friend always keeps playing, or else your friend wants to take back all of the lost money they made in playing gambling of course one of the solutions to get quick money is playing gambling too, but I guess this is not the most suitable because seems like they are keep increasing the number of money they will lose in the house. If your friend has a sideline or job and keeps gambling it is okay it's their leisure time but if not and other people get affected like having a debt that's the time i guess they stop this dream for a while to get a large money in playing gambling.

It is. Even if we look stupid with our story, we don't care. Gambling is just too entertaining to not be discussed with friends. Well, as long as you are on the same wavelength as them.
I remembered last week I made a long parlay in NBA and I told it to my friend and neighbor. I said it x400+ and if it wins we will have a good drink that night. Sadly, I lost the bet with 2 teams losing in an 11-leg parlay. I even discussed with him how those two teams lost and I am glad he just let me talk and kept on listening. Well, he didn't call me stupid but he is also disappointed that I didn't get the win.
Another story is when we are talking about boxing. Tapales versus Inoue. I asked him if he would make a bet, on whose boxer he put his money. Although I already have a decision on where I will put my money I am glad we are on the same boat when he said it would be for Tapales because betting for the opponent is not that profitable. Well, I lost but we talked about that stupid bet for hours and how the fight went through.
Gambling must be enjoyed and if it is with friends it becomes sweeter and more fun.

[jcojci]

People always gamble because they really want to feel like they are winning. Even if they have to deposit the money again, it still makes them come back again and again. There are still many gambling games that they haven't played so that's what keeps them coming back. They think it's okay if they lose again this time because there will be a time for them to win, so they keep going back to gambling.

It's usually like that, the first win really makes gamblers feel a great sensation so after that they intend to pursue other wins in order to get money and sensations like before, and another thing is that the first win usually makes gamblers put higher expectations, if the amount they get at the beginning is $100 for example then usually next they will pursue more than that and this is where all the real scenarios will start.

Gambling with the intention of looking for a win like before and if the result is losing then it's not a problem, they still have the spirit to try, despite the fact that defeat dominates in the next session until they run out of money but usually they have other alternatives to get money such as borrowing from several services or to one of their friends for gambling capital, the loan amount is getting bigger because winning is still difficult to get so it is not uncommon to see gambling addicts who end up in a lot of debt and lose all the valuable assets they have. In my opinion, the problem is that they misunderstand what the chances of winning are, not certainty but nothing more than opportunities which means that they can succeed and can also fail, this mindset must be corrected so that awareness can help them before it's too late and regret it.

They think it's okay if they lose again this time because there will be a time for them to win, so they keep going back to gambling.

Many return for the feeling of wining, but this does not apply to absolutely everyone who is involved in gambling: many play for years and never win but continue to play. I don’t know if you guessed it, but I’m talking about those who play the lottery and dream of winning the jackpot. By buying a lottery ticket, they buy themselves the feeling of a dream - of course, it is almost impossible to win, but nevertheless, this does not stop you from dreaming that this time you will get the jackpot and change your life for the better.

[Hypnosis00]

The answer most often found is, they talk about the possibility of the goddess Fortune being on their side when playing.

these are the initial and final thoughts that will continue to haunt a gambler's mind when they have money in their wallet, chances are luck is the reason they make deposits and play. because so far in my opinion people who use gambling as entertainment are only a small portion of the gambling population, most of the gamblers hope to win and want to feel satisfied with their victory, this is an illusion of thought that they create themselves, so that when they lose they will continuously make deposits at other times with his own thoughts.

A kind of HOPE that brings them more losses instead of winning. A hope for desperate gamblers who can't fully accept that they will lose thinking that if they will continue to gamble despite losses, they can recover their losses without knowing that they already fall into the trap. Casino owners love seeing these gamblers behaving like this, that is all they want. The more we chase winnings, the more we experience losses, and the more we are getting far from enjoying it.

A reason why it is encouraged to gamble responsibly and to know when to stop.

Yes, at least there is hope and they have something to wait for a miracle rather than not doing anything in his life. even if it doesn't hit the jackpot, this type of gambler always has hope the money he put in is increased rather than spent on what he needs. After all the money is gone, he will wait until tomorrow to do repeat like yesterday. I think this will be a problem if he has a family which has earned a living. The money he gets from his salary he just bet to hope a miracle where he don't know when it happen.

If someone doesn't know much about how sports games are played and is confused about which team to bet on, he can choose with small odds or can learn first about which team is superior and which team is more favored to win, I It seems quite clear what the OP said that he is only giving advice to gamblers who always lose at the game to change their game to gambling that uses skills. At least the gambler has to make an effort to think when betting so that he doesn't gamble carelessly, whereas slot games are luck-based games if If you don't stop immediately and hope that every round you can get the jackpot, I'm sure this will actually make you experience even more unstoppable losses.

It's true that sports betting doesn't always win because in gambling there are wins and losses, so at least sports betting can bring us closer to luck if the predictions we analyze are correct, in sports betting it's not easy to get lucky because we are required to study every bet we make. choose, but the fact is that many gamblers make more profits from sports betting compared to luck-based gambling which is relatively easier to play without using skill.
