THERE ARE TWO THINGS INVOLVED

[Tungbulu]

When someone puts in money into gambling, he should be prepared for two things because there are two things involved, it's either the money is lost or you get some extra more cash (depending on the odds you chose to bet on). and when you eventually win and get an extra cash, two things are still involved.
it's either you walk away with your profit or you decide to try again with the hopes of making more money because you believe today might just be your lucky day.

 If you chose to walk away, then you're on the safer side, and if you choose to go again, there are still two things involved. It's either you win again or you lose your profit as well as what you won earlier.

If you win again and walk away, then you're safe, but if you lose the bet, there are still two things involved. It's either you decide to cut your losses and walk away or you decide put in another money to try again and see if you can manage to recover what you've just lost.

If you walk away, then you're safe but if you decide to put in more money and try again, there are two things involved. It's either you get lucky and win back your money or you lose the bet and throw away more money while trying to make a recovery.

 If you win back your money, then you're safe, but if you lose, there are two things involved. It's either you accept you've been defeated and walk away with whatever you're left with in your account/bankroll or you decide to chase your loss by doubling your usual stake so you can win and recover the ones you've lost with just one single bet and then retire for the day.

If you accept defeat and walk away, then you're safe, but if you say NO and decide to go in harder, there are still two things involved. It's either you get lucky, win and manage to recover your losses and then run away or you lose the bet once more and lose more than you planned to lose that day.

If you win the bet and run away, then you're safe but if you lose again, there are still two things involved. It's either you finally realize that the whole loss chasing is pointless and will only lead to more losses or you become more desperate and frustrated and then decide to go again, this time with a much higher stake or even decide to go all in with everything you've got to make the final kill.

If you realize yourself and walk away while you can, then you're safe but if you decide to go in with a much higher stake or all in. There are two things involved still. It's either you suddenly become the luckiest man on earth by winning the bet and running for your dear life orrrrrrr you become unfortunate and lose all your money and your frustration multiplies by 10 with an addition of confusion.

If you win and run away, then you're safe but if you lose, there are still two things involved. It's either you pull your sorry ass together and give up full of regret or you decide not to give up and decide to take a loan ( for someone who can easily access a loan).

If you give up, then you're safer because with time you'll recover from your losses, but if you decide to take a loan, there are two things involved. It's either God decides to save your sorry ass and allow you to win the bet (because at this point, only God can save you) or you lose the loan money completely and then this is the point you realize what you've done to yourself and then go back home and work your ass off to repay the loan and pick up the remaining pieces of your broken life.

This is exactly what happens to gamblers who refuse to gamble responsibly but decide to chase their losses. I hope you all learned a thing or two from this little rollercoaster ride.

That's indeed one funny but true rollercoaster ride my friend. This is actually what's going on in the gambling industry. Many gamblers have been here in this spot before and they can confirm that it's not a very sweet experience. This is why gamblers should always make the right choices when gambling because on the long run, you'll always have a choice to make and if you eventually make the wrong choice, you'll have yourself to blame at last as the consequences would be very awful.

[famososMuertos]

No. Well at least for me.

The gambling is something that has to do with countless things... let's start there, then, you don't start betting the moment you literally do it, that is the first mistake.

Since, first of all and regardless of religion , beliefs, being a good son, husband, father, and in general fulfilling your responsibilities is your first big bet.

Consequently, the first bet you make is with yourself, so, if you don't know yourself, or you have doubts, the other best thing you can do is pay for a consultation with a person who does coaching, or a psychologist, who will evaluate your mental abilities to understand if you can enjoy gambling without addictions.

Now, even if you feel good with the previous two, your results are never measured by a single value (+.-), it is the long term.

While what you wrote is correct, you might try writing it a little different next time you post. That whole wall of text looks like 1 big run on sentence and is going to lose your readers interests fast. Just something to think about for the future.

Why the op wrote is a clear example of an addicted gambler. The one who lacks sef control, as a gambler if you set aside money for gambling purpose alone and you only mess around with that money you kept, you'll be, but the moment you decide to start collecting other money or even go as far as taking loan, you are addicted. The only solution is to admit and realize that you are getting yourself into the worse experience as a gambler and make the possible moves to change that mindset or behavior else, you'll just live to find out that you have sold your house for gambling.

[mindrust]

If you win the bet and run away,

That’s the summary of your text pretty much. People don’t know when to say “enough”. It doesn’t matter if they are losing or winning. They can’t have enough of losing just like they can’t have enough of winning. When they are winning they think they’ll take over the planet and become the king of earth. When they are losing they’ll be losing everything even their family heirlooms. That’s a psychological problem many people share imo and it needs to be treated.

The casinos are not the only ones that abuse these sick people sadly. Even the candy stores do it. Have you seen a kid that doesn’t want to eat one more chocolate? I haven’t. The idea is the same, we stop only when something catches on fire or breaks.

One last game, one last fuck.

[Oshosondy]

What you post lacks paragraphs. If you have added paragraphs appropriately, your post will be better and good to read, instead of it being like a block of texts.

Although not well written but what you are saying is true. People should do what will make them to gamble responsibly and not looking for ways to chase losses or wasting money on gambling.

The problem started with people that are greedy and finding ways to make money from gambling.

Well, every option has its own positive or negative outcome. Wise decision making is a must. Furthermore, if you want to have an edge as a gambler, learn to set limits and set amount of profits for you to satisfy. You can’t just gamble everytime and expect profits afterwards, that is not gambling anymore. At some point, learn to say no to gambling when you have had enough profits to gain.

In all honesty, gambling is not design to make us rich, but to make the casino house richer while leaving us with poor finances. If you happen to make decent profits, that’s just temporary luck, afterwards all your profits will gradually return to the casino again if you don’t leave the casino immediately.

To sum it up - gambling can be fun, but you're risking money for a reason.  Sometimes you win, often you lose.  Because casinos profit from people losing not winning. The key is having the self-control to quit while you're ahead.

But as others have already noted, maybe you could use paragraphs next time.

Pretty much appreciated!
I believe I've learnt my first lesson here on the forum and hope to use what you all said to develop my writing skill next time for proper readability for the sake of my audience and readers. Thanks for the tips.

I've just ran an edit on the post and made some modifications. And I believe this is should be much more presentable and readable.

Setting gambling limits is one thing, it's actually the easy part, but sticking to those limits is where the problem is, especially for someone who is already developing gambling problems. Some gamblers discover that they're already addicted and their gambling habit is causing them more harm than good and are willing to make some adjustments. Some start by setting these limits for themselves before they start gambling, but immediately they begin, it's as if they forget everything they've told themselves and something else takes over them, they'll only realize themselves when they've experienced another great deal of loss.

Nice try Op, it's quite fine to say that gambling has two options and repeating it as a reminder on the write-up as well was a bit tiring. However, gambling sometimes overshadows the gambler not to think ahead of what next to do, whether to leave or stay. This feeling of, "it could be my chance of winning on the next game" traps gamblers. I see gamblers who trust that the moment they walk away could be their winning moment. Hence, they'll try again, and again till nothing is left. Most players tend to feel relaxed not to play again once they've exhausted their money.

Gambling in both forms helps players get addicted or responsible, lose or gain money, mental health, or mental disorders. These factors keep on increasing as I think of it. So, players are left with the option of choosing where they want to belong. The right or the wrong track. Everyone knows which is the right one for them or not. Some players can choose to chase loss as their own right track, and nothing can be done about it. They've got nice reasons why chasing loss is the best form of gambling for them. In a game that only has two options to choose between, it's quite difficult to find a huge number of people who will continually go with the right ones. While gambling, I'll always examine my game not to end up thinking that the wrong path is the right one.

In addition to what you mentioned, we need to know when to get up from where we are sitting once we experience winning. We also need to be wise when it comes to decisions to be made because every move we make in gambling is risky because our own money is at stake. Indeed, gambling is fun but we should prioritize our own self, we need to check and manage our limitations, we need to balance between having fun and earning profit from doing it.

You predicted it right. I lost interest after reading the 3rd bold part.

There's just one ending to this. You won't win if you don't walk away. That's why I applaud the gamblers who can do this regularly after a win. Walk away and get some rest then bet again after a week or so. That way, they already enjoyed the profits they made and it will be the beginning of a stressful new week for them. Well, at least they had the chance to feel the money that they won unlike others who are not stopping because they are looking for more and that's when the statement of OP comes to fruition. It's a never-ending cycle if you keep on doing it without any pause to enjoy it. It's not entertainment anymore, it becomes a goal which is hard to achieve because we are playing against the house that cannot be defeated.

[Alphakilo]

You did great job by paying attention to yahoo62278 and the others who made comments on your text.

Gambling is all shades of colours. And there could be more than two things involved in gambling. Experience has taught me that even when I lose at gambling, so long as I didn't overshoot my budget, or chased my losses or engage in some silly vices to win a gamble, then I have won even when I lost.

Even the defeat I experience is not a defeat if I had gambled responsibly.

it's either you walk away with your profit or you decide to try again with the hopes of making more money because you believe today might just be your lucky day.

Gambling is a win or lose game, when we play and loose, then we let go and allow that for the day and prepare ahead for some other time, but if we insisted that we want to recover, we may keep accumulating to the loss already at hand, secondly, if we win and still feels the thirst of going for one more round to double the amount, we may ended with taking nothing home, lastly, when we make win, we should be satisfied with what we have and take home the profit instead of playing repeatedly again, except if we don't mind loosing the money back to gambling all because we are more concerned about the fun than the money.

[Blitzboy]

You need the right mindset, the best mindset, or you'll fail. Many fail, its a fact. Knowing when to fold is key, and believe me, its more than luck. Its discipline the likes of which most people can.t handle. Win once, fantastic. Twice, even better. But the longer you play, the odds stack against you. Its not opinion, its cold, hard math. Some folks get lucky, feel invincible, and thats their downfall. Truth is, the house has the edge. The longer you're in, the more you'll lose - money, maybe even your whole life. This isnt about getting greedy, its about walking away a winner. Know your limits, make the smart calls. If you cant do that, this game isnt for you. Thats the bottom line.

[Frankolala]

Just like you said OP, gamble is just two things which are win or lose. It is left for that gbler to know when to quit the game in his favor, either when he is losing or winning. I know that gambling cannot be in anyone's favor, but when you quit early, you have favored yourself by not losing more to gamble, as the funds can be used to gamble in the latter.

Some people will never quite gambling even though they are on great loss, because they want to win back all their losses, but at the end they will regret their actions because gamble will quit them out of the game when they have used all their bankroll to gamble and lost it all. Only gamble for fun, and know the right time to quit the game. This is because the more you gamble the more greater loss you have and you become prone to addiction.

[Litzki1990]

Before gambling, the gambler must decide whether he has the right gambling skills and whether he thinks about the negative and positive aspects of gambling before gambling. I have experience in betting on different matches and if I don't use that experience or skill I try to play casino but I won't succeed there. I have to try to fully apply my skills where I have no skills and experience but if I try unnecessarily in the areas where I have no skills and experience then the results will be zero. Therefore, it is very important that the gambler must choose what the gambler is more skilled at, especially before gambling.

The odds for any casino game are always in favour of the casino. This means that the more you gamble, the more the odds acts against you. Chances are that you will go out of the casino with less cash in your wallet than when you came in with when entered the casino.
