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

[Yatsan]

Personal feelings and emotions like frustration and regrets. It could also just be desire of becoming rich or the idea that they just enjoy the experience. It depends on the individual actually; we have our own reasons in the first place of why we are doing something. There are two sides to consider; playing despite of losses because you lost that much and you have to make up for it or continuing to bet because you can afford the amount you've lost.

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.

I wouldn't say the same thing. I doubt that with constant betting we can actually win big someday.
If it were so then everybody would be betting these days in the hope of winning big some or the other day.
Since we already know its just pure luck, we shouldn't pay more focus into it and just casually bet withing our budget.
May be luck shines some day then we can win big otherwise we wouldn't need to stress so much anyway.

Well, betting continuously would basically increase your chance of winning because you are adding attempts to do so however it won't lessen the tendency of losing. The more you bet, the more you'd be exposed to the chance that you'll win but the question is, until when would you be able to do so? What would blow up first, you winning or you losing everything you have?

I think he subconsciously trying to win back all the money he lost. It appears that he may want to quit but he is still pulled by the losses and he’s always giving it one last try. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in that scenario where you simply want your money back and don’t want any interest or extra, that may be his case (depending on how much he has lost). Best you can do is advise him that he should take it slow and steady if he wants to continue, and also, gambling shouldn’t be his main source of income.

For me, every person has different reasons but still continues to gamble.
The combination of psychological, biological, social, and cognitive factors can contribute to the cycle of gambling behavior, even in the fac of repeated losses. I know a lot of people like this, friends or some family members.
Breaking this cycle often requires awareness, support, and intreven tions such as therapy or support groups.

Your friend has a potential addiction with gambling as he always desire to win a huge amount, what he had in mind was to recover what he had lost for so many times. Partly, it's proven that gambling involves the risk despite of the fun and lucky experience. Most of the people who's behind this activity tend to suffer of loss compared to winning.
What I can suggest with him is to minimize gambling activity, and don't expect for more lucky bets to win that instantly. Just bare in mind that by luck is the only probability that winning big amount is our only chance for this, and not by any reason.

He should be happy that he is even privileged to be winning a little sum of money, even though it were not his desired amount, because one thing about gambling is that no gambler ever pray to lose a bet, but yet that doesn't mean you aren't likely to either lose or win,  which is why there is always this popular saying for people to always and only gamble with an amount they can afford to lose, and not gambling so as to impress others, which I will say is the best advice I can give for now, because gambling everyday is never a guarantee for big win, but rather it drags you closer to the possibility of winning big.

Gratitude buddy! He should show some gratitude and stop the complains, the complains can only mean one thing, and that's that he is greedy and not contented, whereas there a thousand if not millions of gamblers out there that will really make do of that small win your friend is making as profit from his gambling. Not quite a lot of gamblers get lucky to win a cent since this year started.

Your advice to him is not the best, ultimately, gambling is an activity of luck no doubt, but consistency in engaging in it doesn't make for or attract quick luck for bigger wins. The chances could be that while you gamble consistently you still get to experience countless losses while someone else gambling ones a while get luck to hit a jackpot. How unfair that sounds, right But it's the reality of gamble.

Of course most gamblers have been in the same shoe and worse part is you expect to regain your loses without extra but if you are lucky to get there, you start looking for same extra that you don't intend to. This is usually the story of gamblers, as to the reason that they lost even deeper. Emotion is the cause of loses, a gambler who is good with controlling his emotion is probably going to get his bets. Playing many times or fewer times won't really matter anything without proper guide to our emotions.

[Maus0728]

They chase losses, that's all there is to it. They can't get over the fact that those losses aren't going anywhere anytime soon and that they're never going to get it back and so they falsely believe that they'll be able to win it all back if they just gamble more when that's not how things work anyway, it's never a possibility to ever get it back. If people stop thinking about gambling as a way to get out of the poverty line and think that gambling is the key to a wealthy lifestyle, maybe we would see less and less of this kind of people and we would eventually stop wondering why those people do what they do.

The hart of a gambler is always filled with hope and when a gambler has hope he always beliefs that when he lose today tomorrow he will win that's the main reason why even when a gambler losses his money on bets he will still gamble. Anyway always gambling makes us get addicted, it doesn't matter whether a gambler is gambling everyday or not, if you are lucky to win a bet any day, you won't skip it because it's a lucky day.

This is a bad advise for your friend. He might think this and won't stop playing until he literally turn his life into chaos. It's in the nature of the people and most gamblers to get greedy when winning and get tempted to win back the losses if he losses. The best advise for me is to let him know that the losses won't come back and it's pointless to win it back as it would only result in more losing, instead just use what amount he is willing to risk and just entertain himself and in no time he'll win with the goal of having fun and not because he is trying his luck or winning back his losses.

when they experience defeat there is a possibility that they will not stop, with gambling which usually ends in defeat but they gamble again to win back everything they have lost, sometimes reasoning that the defeat that has occurred is almost a win, so they think they can win. in gambling that they will do again, of course it is not a guarantee that they can win, even though in their gambling they almost won, but that doesn't mean that by gambling again they can win again. This possibility will make them addicted and experience more losses.
Because when someone is addicted, it will be difficult to stop gambling even if losses occur to him, and when he is advised or given advice not to gamble, it is also very difficult for someone who is addicted because basically every addiction will stop when his conscience has the intention. to stop.
So someone who continues to gamble and experiences defeat or losses finds it very difficult to stop because their ego or curiosity is so big that they think they will win.

This is not wrong advice, because basically we're required to continue gambling if we want to win according to our expectations, it's impossible for us to win from gambling itself if we don't gamble, LOL. But the advice you give to your friend is too risky, if he has run out of the special money allocated for gambling, he will continue to gamble with money that should not be used for gambling to get what he wants.

Guy, I want  to answer the first question on the title of this thread. The reason is because they already know that they can not win all the time and they can nir also lose all the time. Gamblers knows that the possibility of winning their bet depend on chance and probability. They know that if they gambler today and did not win, they might win on the next day. Gambling is non stop for those that understand the rules so well.

To answer your next question, your friend have two choices which are; he should stop gambling or he should continue gambling. If he stops, he will not have to deal with gambling losses again and if he continues to gambling, losses are inevitable.

He probably doesn't understand that until he stops, he will most likely lose. Of course, he has a chance to win, but this chance is very small and only creates for him the illusion that it is he who will win, and not other players. Although they are essentially the same and luck randomly chooses those who win, you need to tell him this. Why did he decide that he would win and not other players? Of course, he won’t like the truth, but the worst thing is that he will try to prove it to you with his game that it is possible to win and will lose even more. In short, when it comes to advice to players, we must say them very carefully, because they can affect them in an even worse way.

I think many people experience this, not just your friends who feel this way, everyone who participates in gambling, many people experience defeat, bankruptcy, debt everywhere as a result of gambling, so the people who can win big from gambling are only a handful of people of the billions of people who gamble. Your friend should be grateful that he can still win even if he only wins a little and doesn't meet his expectations. Many people have difficulty winning even just a little, so whatever results we get we can still accept it rather than having to experience continuous defeat which will make us lose we get stressed and actually chase defeat.

But in my opinion, even though we have won a little money, we still have to stop and not chase too much after the winnings we hope for. If we experience luck without gambling continuously and only do it occasionally, we can still get it. But if you don't experience luck, you will try as hard as you can continuously gambling and hoping one day to get a big win will be in vain.

[dansus021]

Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more? There are lot of reason and one of it is chasing the losses or greed and the point is why you cant stop because you get addicted and emotions already take control of your body. that is why some people know they lose but still want to bet more all they want is to win and that's it.

Second he got addicted because he feel the win and then he just want more and more and greed is take over

Yeah exactly so instead of giving an advice to continue much better for his friend to stop since if he's not lucky and having a bad day for sure this streak will continue since for sure a heavy emotion will come and that will give them bad result since he can't think good then maybe do aggressive betting for thinking that he can easily recover especially if he increase his bet size. If he want to win maybe he should try his luck next time since maybe with that he will have a fresh start and good times will come after him then he can recover his past losses made from past few days. Also he should know how he handle his finances on gambling since everything is unstable here so he can't expect any sure gain that's why instead of thinking about profit much better if he just enjoy the game.

The constant betting part is misleading, why gave him such advice? Normally the lesser time you spend on a casino the better, because gambling is wired in a way that we humans will keep coming back, for me atleast, this is why I believe that its a absolute win for those who are running a online casino business.

Every thing about gambling is wired against the gambler, the casinos don't even need to cheat, the nature of human will always keep them coming back, we are curious beings and we always believe that the more we put in more effort the better the result will be.

The mistake there is this is gambling, not your life hustle, not your dream job where you need promotion to make more money after you can rank up, this is a game based on pure luck, you need less activity by default.

Emotion is the cause of loses, a gambler who is good with controlling his emotion is probably going to get his bets. Playing many times or fewer times won't really matter anything without proper guide to our emotions.

Returning to gambling after experiencing defeat is of course not very good because the results we get will also be the same because it is very unlikely that we will be able to win after losing the previous bet. Controlling emotions when gambling is very important because when someone cannot control their emotions when gambling, of course they will gamble with greed and this will be very detrimental to themselves, betting too often will also have a bad impact on ourselves and it would be better for us to limit the gambling activities we do so that things don't happen that we don't want. the impact of gambling.

In fact, one of the reasons why it is not recommended to continue gambling after losing is because usually when you are still in a losing situation, you are still dominated by emotions due to the defeat which in the end usually these emotions will encourage you to make some decisions that usually make no sense or impulsive decisions because most likely you do it based on emotions and not a rational mindset. And this is why in some cases gamblers even experience a greater amount of loss which is because they make decisions that they cannot be responsible for such as for example back betting with a much larger budget and when it turns out that the results do not match then obviously it is a situation that will further worsen their mental and psychological which sometimes makes them experience stress because they cannot withstand all the pressure. This is the reason why it is always recommended to know when to start and when to stop, because by having this ability, it is less likely for you to experience a more significant amount of loss and can also avoid bad possibilities such as addiction.

Haha I understand that you are trying to be straight up with your advise that if you are gambling then expect the loses too. Yes it is right, like if you have fetched ant infested firewood then you should also expect the visit of reptiles . So that is the way gambling is, if you have made up your mind to chase the profit in gambling then you have to also be ready to take the risk of losing because every gambler lose from time to time and also wins when he is lucky. Therefore if you are losing, you don't have to see it as you are the only one who is losing, you have to get your analysis well and you have great fun when you win and also take it the way it comes when you lose.
