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

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

You are right, bro. Those gamblers that still continue gambling after losing so much do not realize that the gambling system is designed in such a way a way that it only favors the casino greatly while the gamblers are primarily the ones at loss. It's necessary for a gambler to only stake with the money they are ready to gamble off, so that once they lose all that money to the casino, they can just stop and go back home. If I want to gamble, I usually deposit the amount I want to gamble off, and if I have also won a good amount, I will just withdraw a specific amount from my winnings so that I don't end up losing it all too. 

[Jody.Drummer]

However chasing losses will always be a bad idea when it comes to gambling, not least because casinos apply random algorithms to every game which makes the outcome at the end of the session always unknowable, on the other hand I'm not going to say that the idea won't work because of course anything can happen if they manage to get lucky, but what we have to remember is that it's very difficult to get that good luck to reach the recovery stage or to restore all the losses you've experienced.

And it's also a nonsensical idea to chase losses where you've lost money, and we should be able to think in this direction that it was gambling that made you lose money in the first place, and it doesn't make sense to chase losses in the same place, obviously. And as you said, in the end it will most likely only increase the amount of loss and this has been proven because there are enough cases like this where chasing losses creates a much worse situation.

Chasing the lose is a normal thing that many gamblers still do because they thinks that they have the other chances to wins after lose for some money. They will not see that they don't have a big chance to wins in gambling instead just lose for more. They may gets wins but that doesn't mean they can recover all of their money that has been gone in gambling because their losses will still big than their wins. So if people can realizes about their lose and don't thinks about recover or chasing their lose, they will not do that instead just leave the casinos.

Hopefully, people will knows that if they still chase losses, they will only lose more money that they can't afford and will not have a big chance to gets their money back. They must realizes that if their money is gone in gambling, that means they must stops their gambling activity immediately. Otherwise, they will not have a chance to stops their gambling activity before all of their money is gone. Their losses will becomes bigger and have a chance to becomes addicted to gambling.

Yes and they are gamblers who only know or only see gambling in terms of winning opportunities but do not understand as a whole that however losing will always be a part of gambling, therefore as you said there are still quite a lot of gamblers who take such actions in order to recover something that has been lost. This means that they only see gambling in terms of winning opportunities regardless of the situation, on the other hand yes I understand what you mean where they can win but it is very small to get a big win for all the losses they have experienced and that is true.

That's what they should pay more attention to, or that means they should know how the impact will occur when they try to restore something that has been lost and this is also the reason why a gambler must have a correct understanding of the whole of how gambling really is, don't just look at the chances of winning but also look at the risk consequences.

When they don't sees their chances to keeps playing gambling because they already lose much money in gambling, they must stops playing gambling immediately before lose all of the money. That's why when gamblers wants to playing gambling, they must sees and prepares their limits and not trying to break the limits because that can gives a problem to them. They will difficult to wins in the gambling games but they will easily to gets lose in gambling games. They must avoids the big loses and will not bet more, especially if they already lose streak before because that have a chance to loses more and more money.

However, playing gambling needs to be wise so they will not forces themselves to keeps playing gambling. Playing gambling is just to fills our spare time and not for playing gambling too long because we knows the risks and we don't have to gets lose much money. We already see what happens to other people who playing gambling excessively and many of them lose their money and even bankrupt.

Why only few think, that there are people who dont care much about money, but they like the process of gambling in general? There is nothing to be done if a person likes to risk, test his luck and he can not do nothing about it. And the money he looses in gambling is just payment for fun. Take any sport for example. For example any league in football. Dozens of teams, only one becomes a champion. And there are team that are always on the last places in final score table. People spend millions and millions on such teams, they will never win nor become champion, yet they continue to play. Or fishing. There are those who dont care about the catch. They like the process. They catch the fish and then set it free.

Yes, there are many who are like that and who think like that , they will Always be there, but Personally, just as there are people who are more clear because they like football, there are those who do not bet and live the process. and when their team wins they feel very happy, just because there are some who are very happy, just to show that their team is the best, they place bets, that is something that is always seen, I was like that before , now There is that thing About casinos , about sports betting , well, if you see that you can win, then you can't say no to money, well at least I can't , but it's from that point of view.

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.

Coming back for the first time isn't a problem, you are right, but if someone loses, comes back, loses again, and still comes back, then they are either getting addicted to gambling or are taking it to their ego and thinking that they will recover whatever they have lost so far and they won't stop before they achieve that. Such things often make gamblers lose more money in the long run or sometimes even in the short run.

There is one more thing which is even more dangerous than this, and that is when a person gets into gambling and manage to win something in their first gambling session. This makes their mind locked on gambling and they will keep thinking and telling themselves that they can make money from gambling, and this will make them come back with the hope of winning more money again.

He is very lucky that he is winning small amount of money and not losing more. If he is looking for ways to win more, that can lead him to losing more money. Or is he losing money is what you want to say?

There is no better strategy than the gambling site winning more money from their customers. Tell him not to be greedy and be gambling as he is gambling. If truly he is winning small amount of money, it is better than losing.

I sincerely agree with you that greediness can actually make some gamblers to loss more than expected one thing we need to know in life is that appreciation is the application for for more, let him value the little that he is winning first, and give himself time then huge amount will come. there is virtually no harm in trying everytime but one thing is certain because the more you give your self chance to try the more you are exposed to either winning or losing, and it is very unfortunate when you are losing because you will keep on trying to recover your lost amount then you will end up becoming an addict. just like you cited in your paragragh, there is no better strategy in gambling, gamblings is all about luck and when you are lucky to win any amount, kindly consider it as good opportunity to restrain from gambling for your own good.

It's true that those who carry out impulsive actions like that will of course only make them addicted to gambling, when they gamble and end up losing then gambling again a second time and losing again, of course it will only make them lose more money. Also, I think that those who gamble like that are people who can't accept the losses that occur or they really think that gambling can make money so that they can get money with only a small amount of capital. but thinking like that only puts them in a point that is not profitable at all and I am sure that when they win it will not be worth the many losses that have occurred.

By being able to win, of course it can make them think that they can really make money from gambling so that winning can make them believe in the wins that they can continue to get with subsequent gambling, but of course it won't be as smooth as that. because gamblers only have the opportunity to lose in the long term.

We already see what happens to other people who playing gambling excessively and many of them lose their money and even bankrupt.

But it's a choice. If there are gamblers who play excessively, it is their will not to control themselves, leting gambling influence them negatively. Because if you're wise to think on what should be the right thing to do, then you will refrain yourself even it is tempting.

Those who gamble to have fun are aware of the negative consequences if they go beyond their limit. Gambling is not entirely a bad habit since it has positive and negative effect depending on the player. Because the gambler itself will determine how he wants gambling affect him and it depends on his mindset and main desire on why he wants to gamble.

They catch the fish and then set it free.

Compared to this process, gambling is much more fun, in my opinion. While it may be exactly like that sometimes, the other times it can be different. If you are having fun with spinning slots, bettinf 10 cents at a tim,e and win $100 by chance, you won't set that fish free, right? I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like there's definitely more to gambling than recreational fishing.

It is not that easy, brain scans have been performed to addicted gamblers and their brains are very different than what you can see in a regular person, basically the part of their brains that should allow them to stop is broken, think of this as driving a car without brakes, it will be incredibly dangerous and it will be impossible to stop at will when you truly need it, this is what the addicted gambler has to deal with, so even if they want to stop they cannot really do it.

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.

There will be wins and losses in gambling, but those who walk away with a few losses will never achieve their goals. However, gambling is advised to be considered only as a center of entertainment. There are many who have won a large amount from gambling or maybe get a jackpot but if he quit from gambling before he got that reward he would not have been able to get that reward. If your friend is not addicted to gambling then the advice given to him is correct but if he is addicted then you should tell him about his addiction. He will try to reduce his addiction by having an idea in advance about what situation his gambling life may lead to because of addiction.

[yazher]

Well most people said it's a game of luck and risk but i think gambling it's a game of risk and grace, it is obvious that this grace has been mistaken for luck. However, for someone to stop gambling it required a lot of determination and self discipline though it is not easy to stop gambling especially when you have set a target to meet before stopping and you have not gotten to that target. Continous gambling will not make you to win any further provided your grace is not suffient to..., If you think what you are winning is not encouraging the best thing is just to stop gambling because i see gambling as something that is spiritual.

I think one of the reasons is they find some companies right there and keep going there to be with them even if their money is only a few just to keep accompanying those people that they vibe with. But eventually, some of them even go there without any reason but to play because they already got addicted to it which is kinda hard to believe but their consistent playing without contemplating their future budget, it will surely drive them to addiction which makes them go there without even particular reasons and that's why you find some people there without even any money with them.

Well, even with constant betting, you still might not be able to win the amount you have set your mind on, because there are no guarantees of any kind when it comes to winnings and loses in gambling, so, this is one important reason why we must strive to be happy with our gambling activities and outcomes.
Gambling should be a fun venture rather than a money making venture, and this simply means that, we should strive to enjoy the game more than we strive to enjoy making money from it.

We should continually know that, if it was easy to make good money from gambling, alot of us would be super rich, while a lot of casinos will rekted, but unfortunate, gambling is not designed to be a money making venture, but rather, a having fun venture, where the ability to make money off gambling relies mostly on how lucky we are, and we should always consider this to be an added bonus.

I don't know about you but I think this is practically the wrong view or perception to Gambling because if a gambler continues to have such mentality that he or she is going to win despite the loses he keeps getting then that person is just trying to make things alot worse for himself because that circle could just go on and on till all his bankroll runs dry so I think that's definitely not a good advice at all. If a gambler experience loses then the best thing he should probably do is to actually stop with that session and relax and try to continue maybe some other time rather than keep on staking without the certainty of whether he is going to win or not.

It could, but it's never guaranteed that the process will go and on. That's what gamblers are hoping for when they continue betting even after many losses in a row. I'm not saying they should necessarily win after losing a lot of their bets, but they are not destined to further losses either. So, if your entire balance is what you can afford to lose, why not try your luck one more time? Or, several more times, if your bets are small. That's what I'm doing often, and sometimes I only lose more, but other times I win and I'm happy that I didn't stop earlier.

I agree, even if is true that most of the time those that put the most effort into their hobbies are the ones that obtain the most benefits out of them, and they may even make money with something that was just a hobby, this does not really apply to gambling, and this is because in most of the games offered by the casinos, it does not matter how hard you may try, you have no chance to improve your results as your luck controls everything, and in that case, it is better to simply give up for those that have lost a lot of money already.

So your friend really treat gambling as a source of income not just a simple game of fun for him maybe you should tell him he is in the wrong platform instead give him idea about trading as it is similar to gambling the only thing is that he plays the chart and the market because with gambling I don't think he will make good amount of money without spending much on losses. Gambling is based on luvk trading is based on someones skills or knowledge so yeah give it a try.

Exactly, and what you said is one of the reasons why gambling is called an activity full of uncertainties and without any guarantee to ensure victory, one can never know what will happen at the end of the session. Winning is nothing more than a chance that the majority of gamblers hope for, but when they overreact to it then there is definitely a possibility that they will create a delusion in their mind that can indirectly increase the belief that the win they always hope for will actually be obtained.

That is the scenario that occurs in the brain of a gambler who is ultimately addicted, because after all, from a common sense and rational point of view, putting excessive hopes on something that runs with uncertainty is a mindset that can never be justified, there is no way to bring victory other than luck coming at the right time, while it is a fact that luck is something that can never be controlled.

I had the same thought. No matter how hard we try we will never win against the casino because their system will never let us win and their basic odds are against the player winning. So for gamblers who have thoughts that they can make money from gambling, they will tend to continue betting even after they suffer a big loss because what is in their heads, is the opportunity to recover their loss but, what will actually happen is a way for them to get worse.

I think it's just people who have thoughts that gambling is just a hobby to have fun with what they can afford to lose, are those who can stop betting when the loss comes.
