When you are not to gamble.

[EarnOnVictor]

But I don't agree that chasing losses is greed, it's a different context in my opinion, it shows more that people are in addiction, or he wants to get money back because he used money that he couldn't lose in gambling, so he is chasing money that has been lost.

I can only sense that you know something is missing but you can't still put the pieces together, that's why you can say that chasing losses is greedy and still say that it is another context entirely (not the direct words).

Bro, when you chase losses, you are not greedy, you are just being desperate. However, this desperation can be orchestrated by anything, it doesn't matter, what matters is that you are not with your right senses at that moment anymore but being driven by the emotion in you.

I've noticed that many users on the forum mistake this, but the fact remains that greed is not the only function of emotion, only that most gamblers wrongly believe so and it will be difficult to convince most of them to that.

If you don't have greed, whether you win or lose, you will stop playing according to the original plan. Your desire to regain what you lost also comes from your greed, because you cannot control your emotions. As you also said, greed comes from our emotions and if we cannot control our emotions then we are clearly greedy people.

Don't use the excuse that we just want to get back what we lost and say that it doesn't come from greed. Not to mention, is there a guarantee that if you get your lost money back you will stop playing? Obviously you cannot control your emotions because from the beginning if you consider gambling as entertainment, winning or losing you will stop according to the original plan.

If a gambler loses his entire salary to gambling, he clearly has a problem. No responsible gambler would do that because he understands the risks of gambling.

In fact, you can get rid of any addiction, but you must first realize that you have a problem and only then look for ways to solve it. Most addicted people do not realize that they have some problems, or are afraid to admit it because of condemnation by other people.

That is a big mistake if a gambler loses all of his entire salary for playing gambling because he can't fills his daily needs. He doesn't have  his self control over gambling and there is a chance for him to become addicted to gambling. He really needs to realizes of what he is done in gambling and trying to reduce his gambling activities by doing other things. That's why he needs to manage his time to playing gambling and not use his spare time to always playing gambling.

You don't have to playing gambling because of make money, recovers your losses, or other things except for fun. Playing gambling is for fills your spare time occasionally and you will know that you don't have to use gambling to spends your spare time. By always managing your time, you will prevent the gambling addiction and will not trying to deeper in gambling. You know the risks of playing gambling so you will choose not to closer to gambling.

A gambler cannot stop his game immediately when the attraction to get back his lost money arises from his body. No gambler can make this guarantee, because a person who loses money will try harder to get it, which is a sign of addiction. So a person who is an addicted gambler can never bring anything good out of gambling, because the greed for money is high in his mind.

 If a gambler who has gambled heavily in the past and made a fortune suddenly suffers a loss, the gambler is sure to experience repeated losses if he enters winnings again to get that money back. Because no gambler can earn money from gambling for the sake of money.

yes a gambler who is addicted will not let go of the money that has been lost from his gambling activities, they will chase the losses at the beginning in the hope of winning at the end of the session and returning their capital, we will often find people like this in our environment, greed in the gambling activities they do is because they view gambling as a money maker, such thinking is not wrong, it's just the wrong placement if you expect to be able to make money from gambling, because we all know the basis of gambling is luck. so it's not right to have such thoughts. yes there is nothing to expect from a greedy and addicted gambler. the best way is to cure the person and change his views on gambling

Well there's time for everything, there's time to gamble and time not to gamble too. Like one of the best time not to gamble is when your emotion is not in the right, or when you are exhausted. You know I don't understand are most people will keep on saying that they gamble for fun and whn you feeling tired and sleepy you still gamble, I have heard alot of cases like this and most like it always result to huge losses, so what fun are you looking for when you're exhausted, the best thing to do is to have some rest. Because you gambling when you're is a sign of greed , and also a sign. Of you gambling for the money alone or for you to get rich quick.

And the other best time to call it a day is you're winning or losing, because most time will let greed to help us make some decisions that don't always end well forus , so once you see that you're winning stop and go with the ye little you have made for that day . Or when you losing stop to avoid making things worse by chasing after losses.

Desperate and greedy are somewhat different from one another. Particularly in the context of gambling, its simple to confuse one for the another. A desperate gambler is greedy, thus they are not chasing after more money. Fear of losing even more drives them to try to recoup their losses. Its a fear of losing what they have already put in, not a want for excess.

Now, under pressure, we have all witnessed people make poor decisions. One classic case is the gambler's fallacy. Someone believing a losing run will miraculously become a winning streak is not driven by avarice. The emotional strain of loss fuels a lack of clear thinking. Recall, people, money is only a tool - not a yardstick of our value. We lose view of what really important in life when we become overly wedded to it.

I used to gamble to fill my free time, but more and more often I started to notice that I don't have much free time. Sometimes I even have to give up something to free up my evening for gambling.

If we talk about losing your entire paycheck in gambling - in my opinion it is very similar to a step of desperation and such people clearly need help.
