Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more?

[Frankolala]

Addiction to gambling goes beyond pulling a lever or playing cards. Your brain lights up like a Christmas tree after your first major triumph. Like drugs, man. You follow that feeling even when the chances are against you because it hijacks your reward system. It goes beyond luck. It depends on your brain wiring, life events, and money and risk beliefs. Not everyone is susceptible, and it's hard to predict who will tumble down that rabbit hole

What can you do? Man, be aware. When playing, you must be mindful of your emotions. Thinking you're invincible or about to win big is a red flag. It's time to reconsider. In the zone, it's hard to accomplish that. Flashing lights and coins striking the tray can make you lose track of time. Set limits, know when to leave, and have a support system if needed

Hahaha 😂😂, saying that a gambler's brain lights up lik a Christmas tree is really a perfect description of a gambler's reaction after they have either won or lose in a bet. If they stake and win on the first hand, they will be filled with enthusiasm to stake more, believing that the luck will run in their favor again and when they lose, they will have enough enthusiasm to stake more, believing that they will win that time. Funny how some gamblers react and fall into addiction at the end of the race. 

This is why it is said that there are people that due to their genetic inheritance are more likely to become addicts, the reward system on your brain, aka dopamine, will reward you with some dopamine after a win, however in most people that reward will be on the small side and this will allow you to stop whenever you want, however for some people the reward will be so stimulant that they will keep gambling just to experiment that feeling again, regardless of the consequences this behavior may have on their finances.

Addiction is the major problem that will make anyone to continue gambling even when he is losing because he cannot control himself on when to stop gambling, maybe because he is busy chasing his losses. Another thing is when a gambler is using gambling to pass time will always continue gambling even though they are running at loss.

A gambler can also continue gambling even at loss because he is having fun and have not exceed his gambling budget, he will keep on gambling.

I am only going to post based on my own experience. I do lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more because I am hoping to double or increase my gambling capital. It's like I feel weak when I can't gamble to recover my losses. When I have nothing to do and remember my losses, I usually end up gambling again because of that. Maybe it's also to pass the time. Eventhough I really want to stop gambling, I can't control myself into gambling because of my losses, hoping to get a profit quickly and recovery my losses.

Many of us that are gamblers are having the same problem and if things are not settled it could lead to a bigger problem later. Sometimes we keep betting without even the opportunity for us to make money. We just base on luck for us to make money from betting which is a good move for us if we want to make money from betting space. There was a time I always became an addicted gambler but I was able to understand my doom which trigger me to act fast and stop anything that could increase such a urge. It is very important for us to always try and balance things so we don't end up playing games and still losing especially when we use our hard earned money

Only because that we have discovered its not every gambling that is playing bet is doing that for the sake of making money, some are more concerned on how they will gamble and use it as a means of being entertained and they wont mind on the cost this may incur on them as long as they are going to get satisfied with what they want, all of us cannot because of loosing stop gambling, we are not gambling to earn money, instead for fun.

Of a truth, some people gamble because of the fun they drive from gambling and not necessarily because of the money they lose or win but that's not the only reason why some people still come back to gambling even after losing a lot of money. Some people do come back to gambling after losing a lot of money because of the the fact that they're addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is one of the worst things that can ever happen to any individual because it'll force anyone that's addicted to continue gambling even after losing games. So to avoid going back to gambling even after losing, every gambler is advised to gamble responsibly.

I think there are two reasons why a gambler continues his gambling even after losing. One is that they consider gambling a part of entertainment. I have seen some of the sports bettors who are more inclined to bet during the sports betting period. They enjoy their time. They take the risk even knowing that there is a risk in the bet. Another one of the reasons is that they continue gambling with the intention of getting big winnings from gambling. They feel that if they pull out of their efforts, they will fail to fulfill their dreams. As long as their gambling continues, they will be able to keep that dream alive.

That is right, But I think we should stop gambling at some point especially when the amount of loss increases as well as when gambling starts to transform from habit to addiction. Because if this is the case, instead of having fun, it will make our life more miserable. I am not going to disagree with you that not all kinds of gamblers are doing gambling for only fun but it is also true that there is a large number of gamblers who can't control their self do gambling for the greed as well as when if they are addicted then they have this cause for the go ahead with gambling even still have loss.

It's simply another form of addiction. For some people.  In the case of your friends it seems like that.  For other people like me I use it as a form of entertainment and honestly if I lost all the time but enjoyed the gambling aspect of it than I'm not too worried.  Not that I don't want to win but I don't bet enough for it to become addictive one way or another.

Yes, its always been the main common problem with gambling on which it is really that something that could entertain you but also it is a thing that could make you addicted on which if you are someone whose really that not good when it comes to handling out your emotions or something that do talks about handling or making such good decisions on various conditions then you would most likely be getting addicted with gambling and this is something that you should really be that careful because we know that once addiction would really be something that trapped into someone then it would really be that so damn hard to get out. This would really be causing up that kind of behavior on which you would really be continuing on playing no matter what until you would be busting up yourself to the floor.

Why people do continue? because they would be loving on making up some wins or would be simply trying out to recover on what they have lost on which this would really be that a common approach
by someone on which it isnt really that shocking anymore.

I've a friend of mine who always complain that ever since he started gambling he haven't won a good amount, instead he'll be winning less money than what he expected but he can't stop. So I'm asking what do you suggest he should do at this case. For me I told him that he should know that gambling it's a game of risk and luck, but with the constant betting you might win the amount you've at mind someday. So what are your suggestions towards this.

Your friend complaint is normal when it comes to gambling, it's not a place where you will win and then quit, even if you win somehow gambling has a way it drag you back, so your friend might not be suffering from anything actually but with a condition where he gambles with the amount he can afford to lose. If he gamble with less amount of money, there is no harm in trying again as you never know when you will win money to recoup your loses.

The only caution I will give your friend is to improve on his gambling skills, it's not palatable for a gambler to lose money continuesly, there most be a change in your result; if one doesn't work you have to give it another way and try it, gambling has hundreds of ways to utilize options to win gambling, one must work for you.

You're not yet addicted if you have lost for the first time and you still want to come back. There's nothing with that, IMHO. But if you're keep on coming back and you're harming your daily tasks, your family and other people. Then there's something wrong with you. It's a human nature that we keep coming back even if we lose, it's our natural instinct not to give up too early. However, if you're seeing that there's no return and value to what you do and you are getting the same results of frustrations, that's the time that you should move on because no one will be able to change that results but you. So, either you will still come back but in some other days or you'll never come back and do something different for you to find that satisfaction result. This is very common in gambling and even if we've been losing a lot of cash, we're all brave to keep on going until we realize that there's no sense to keep on losing but when you get there, it's hard to move on because of how much loss you already have.

He should take a break and he should talk to people about this issue, he believes he will win to recover all his losses, he might take so many risks just to win but gambling is a game of luck.

Yes, it is true that some people gamble just for fun, but this will be difficult for those who gamble out of greed and habit. They will continue to play bets as long as they still have funds that they can gamble and only realize after they have used up the funds they have. just regret it, this is really pointless because they won't be able to get back the money they bet.
Someone who has developed an addiction will of course put them in financial problems and it is important for every gambler to be able to control themselves in the gambling they play so that they do not experience bad effects on themselves.
