Does addicted gamblers only lose money all the time

[summonerrk]

When we say someone is addicted to gambling,it does not mean that they lose all the time,but their problem is there is no win that can ever be enough for them to stop gambling,even when they win big,they always have that desire to win more,and that is what drives them into gambling everyday.They gamble everyday and that money they already won from gambling will be lost.
This means that gamblers who Gambles everyday have their lucky days too,but their losing days are more than the days they win.

In short, they are losers because they lack the discipline to control themselves, so they are never satisfied. With the reality in gambling that we all lose in the long run, it's only a matter of time before these addicted gamblers have no means to gamble anymore. We should not wait until that time comes for us.

It's actually okay to lose because it's part of gambling, and in fact, only a few are winners. If we belong to the majority, we should be brave enough to accept that we are losing money. The only way to justify those losses is to have fun every time we gamble, so we will think that we are paying for the entertainment.

I think that the phrase "it's okay that I lose at gambling" can only be uttered by gamblers who have an absolutely correct view of gambling. In gambling, if a gambler makes a deposit, he must understand that he has already given this money.
And there is no need to wait for this money back, and even more so for its increase. It's like money for an attraction: the ticket has been bought, and now you need to have fun.
This is the right critical thinking that will never disappoint a gambler.

Well it's a nice idea you've mentioned above and I understand the fact that some gamblers find it hard to recognize this idea due to the losses they may have incurred while gambling. It's quite obvious that after the money has been deposited it's  already in the bank role and the player still has the opportunity to win and as well withdraw his funds but on the long run players who are addicted don't have the opportunity to withdraw because they actually want to win multiple times even when they've won some amount. They're hardly satisfied with the amount of money already won. Hence, accumulating more losses is the only option left on an addicted player. As he'd hardly stop is gambling session after winning big or losing out substantial amount of money.

Exactly, I agree with you that the ability to accept the risks that are likely to occur will most likely only be able to be done by gamblers who have the right and correct understanding of how gambling really is. Because obviously if for example from the beginning they only see gambling in terms of winning opportunities as is done by gamblers who we are already addicted to then surely defeat is a situation that will be really difficult to accept which is simply that they are typical loser gamblers who always want to win but do not want to accept the consequences of risk.

But even though the reality is like that we still can't give up telling, advising and directing people who have just come and are involved in gambling to first justify their understanding of how gambling really is, one of which is like you said that when we have made a deposit, we must realize and prepare ourselves that there is a possibility that the money will be lost, especially when luck does not come at the right time.

Gamblers should have the kind of thinking where they think of gambling as paying for your entertainment, maybe you can equate it to watching a circus so you are entertained.
This is some people consider gambling part of the fun while there are still people expecting more from gambling, for example, wanting to win so they chase losses, this is often done by gamblers who cannot control themselves or do not accept if they lose in gambling.

There are quite a lot of characters that describe the behavior of gamblers, and their goals are also very different. For those who have a permanent job, for example, gambling only aims to relieve the stress caused by work pressure, and they gamble purely for fun. Usually they also don't think about the money they lost and don't think about chasing it either, because their initial intention was to gamble for fun.

On the other hand, for those who don't have a permanent job, it can be said that gambling is not just for fun, but is a way to generate income. If they are lucky, they will get pleasure and win, if not they will keep trying again, even with a small amount of capital. We often encounter these two types of typical gamblers in our environment.

Actually there are gamblers who are even braver, where they will lend money to gamble, I think the latter also happens a lot. It's just that they are rarely seen and tell of his actions about it because it can put pressure on them.

It's good to have good thoughts, such as considering gambling as a means of entertainment only, even though there is a chance or opportunity to get a reward, don't rely on it, meaning don't hope for it, because hoping for it will usually only make us bend. actions that are risky because they are not considered properly and will not think about the risks that will occur by carrying out actions that carry big risks. Even though there are many people who gamble to make money, I think there are some or some people who gamble just for fun by being able to keep their thoughts under control and not being reckless in their actions in gambling, even though there are more gamblers who are chasing losses. which actually makes them lose more money.
with gamblers who cannot accept defeat because the money they bet on is lost or with those who cannot control themselves, of course this is very vulnerable to doing, especially with people like that, they are gamblers who hope that they will definitely win even though in reality it is not like that. because winning at gambling may be based on luck alone, otherwise it only increases the chance of winning but does not change the luck factor.

We should not wait until that time comes for us.

The addicted gamblers will lose everything before they will stop. In most cases, they won’t stop either and look for loans from family and friends to keep the urge of gambling going and playing unlimited gambling without caring, what they are losing. Even if the addicted gamblers win few of the games, this should not mean that they should continue with an addicted mindset. Gambling only rewards you if you have sense on how to control your emotions.

It's actually okay to lose because it's part of gambling, and in fact, only a few are winners. If we belong to the majority, we should be brave enough to accept that we are losing money. The only way to justify those losses is to have fun every time we gamble, so we will think that we are paying for the entertainment.

If an ordinary (responsible) gambler, loses in gambling, then it is not a much concern because we know that the gambler will lose some games but they managed portfolio well. They will not over gamble or revenge gamble and know the ricks associated with gambling already. However it is the addicted gambler who will make the mess of it.

Remember it is not about addicted gambler winning some games, it is about his overall reaction towards gambling and his mismanagement plus the lack of control over himself.

Players who don't want to hear anything about losses are the ones who most often lose large sums. They test their luck in practice, or rather in the game, they are not interested in the words of other players, they think that there is only him and the game, and also that he will definitely win and there simply cannot be another outcome. Self-confidence and self-belief is something for which they will pay dearly and even after that they may not come to any conclusions. I have always been cautious about many things, and gambling is no exception. This saved me because I immediately understood what it was like to lose and I had no self-confidence. There is a good expression - you need to be able to lose. If we fail to do this, then addiction will haunt us.

Frequent losses are normal more than 60% more we lose than win, if you don't hear about losses even though the intention is for fun then it can enter into addiction because they continue to practice to win while we never know when we win from the capital spent.
Yes confidence in gambling is always there this is the principle of many gamblers, you say today will play and sure to win this can happen and can also miss your money runs out but I always remember about limits, I will not practice to wait for patience to win.

Does addicted gambler really means that he is loosing all the time? That person can be spending all his money and gambling all the time, winning and loosing. A person might place a small bet, win a million and gamble with it for years, placing tiny bets. That person can also be an addicted gambler, but that does not mean that he has lost a lot of money. I think many misunderstood meaning of addiction. Not always it means something negative. Like for example we drink coffee every day. We are coffee addicted, but that does not mean that we dont drink anything else.

The fact of the matter is that addicted players, of course, lose money just like regular games without addiction, but the fact is that this simply happens more often than winnings, if you count it on large numbers of bets. If we take a small number of bets, then of course even addicted players will sometimes win, but this raises another question, what will they do with the winning money. If they don’t go and spend it on things or flowers or a gift for their beloved girl, then this money will go back into the gambling system and be wasted in the next bets in the game. Many players who write posts here and read the forum have already gone through this.

and those are those players who are already heavily addicted to gambling and don't want to listen to anything from other people about the losses they have experienced. Another aim of other people around them is to make the addict aware, but because they are already heavily addicted to gambling so they ignore things. That's because if they are already addicted, of course they will only focus on what they want to do and gambling is what they really want, even in the long term. if they become addicted, of course they will not be interested in other things because as I have said, they will only focus on their desire to gamble, and people who are seriously addicted are the ones who will most often experience losses in large or small bets.

In gambling, of course, being too confident is also not good, because it can lead us to gamble excessively. with those who gamble very confidently, it is very likely that they will not be able to stop gambling even though they have experienced defeat in the gambling they have done. and indeed we should be careful in making decisions and the actions we will take, as much as possible we should be able to do things that will not harm us further.

The risk of losing or losing in gambling does not look at whoever they are, or what that means is that everyone involved in gambling of course they will certainly have the possibility of losing regardless of whether they are addicts or not, and for one of the reasons why the possibility of losing is much more common than winning is obviously because from the beginning the casino has set the algorithm behind the game where they make the percentage of winning much smaller than losing, meaning that most likely gamblers will lose more often than win.

But I would also say that in gambling whoever you are you still have the chance of winning and the possibility of losing, but maybe winning will be less frequent than losing, but often gambling addicts make the possibility of risk greater because they have an overly aggressive approach such as risking large amounts of money along with difficulty limiting the time of involvement so it is only natural that their losses are much greater than non-addicted gamblers, And for the problem of money won when they are lucky, usually the addicted gamblers continue their gambling sessions because of the greed that is difficult to ignore so that in the end the money is lost again, and this is very common for those who are addicted.

Unfortunately, gambling is a place where self-confidence plays against every gambler.
If someone is confident in himself and counts only on himself, he will consider all losers who do not understand how to "correctly" gamble in a casino or place bets. But every person should have critical thinking, and admit the fact that he himself may be wrong. This is normal, we all learn and reflect, this is the quality of every strong healthy personality. As well as the ability to listen to other people.

it's a fact that I see it where most gambling addicts can't control their emotions so that when they win they don't really stop their gambling addiction because their bad habits make them like that, that's why gambling addiction is a disease that really must be avoided. by gamblers because if you have this disease it will be difficult to recover from this bad habit, it is important to control yourself so as not to lose more money when gambling.

I even met someone when he gambled all the time and I asked him what he was looking for, it turned out he was chasing and trying to recover his losses but at the same time I saw him win big and get the jackpot, then what did he do, he kept playing and hoped he could win? get more wins, even though at that time his winnings had recovered all his losses but he continued playing and finally lost everything, what you said is true, that every gambling addict must have won and not always lost money, it's just that they can't control themselves well.

That's the top reason why those addicted gamblers shows that they didn't win everytime people asked them what happened, The truth is, they can't control their self, the way they think about the money that they got, Addicted gamblers always wants to gamble to the point that they didn't notice what's happening, They always say that they're chasing their losses but when they win huge amount, they will not contented, Addicted gamblers will push to gamble again and again until the money that they have will gone. It's difficult for an addicted person to maintain their thinking that's why it is highly adviceable to have a strong self control so we will not ended up being like them.

It's all about greed, they just can't get enough of it no matter how much they win, every time they win something big, their mind starts telling them that if they could win this much, they can win more than this if they play more, and then they start gambling again only to lose what they have already won because you can't keep winning constantly in gambling, that is not how gambling works, if this was possible, every gambler would have been rich and all casinos would have gone bankrupt already.

So, you are right that they don't get to have much control over themselves or their emotions which is the reason why they barely can enjoy even if they manage to win a significant amount because they will only lose it all back and would never be able to use the funds for something useful in their lives.

[Mayor of ogba]

I feel so bother and that is why I decided to ask this question.

We keep talking about gambling addiction and how bad it is to become addicted, does it mean that addicted gamblers lose money all the time? Do you means those guys doesn't win anything at all? Can they not be lucky to win jackpots?

On this board, we are always referring addiction as a terrible thing but does it mean that those addicted gamblers doesn't win money, are they only bounded to losses upon losses?

Addicted gamblers don't always lose in gambling, sometimes they used to win their bets, but since they are addicted to gambling, they will use the same money they won to continue gambling until they lose everything without doing any meaningful things for themselves. Since they are addicted to gambling, they see it as a way of life and something they can't do without, and they will keep placing bets with huge amounts of money, believing they will win a jackpot that will change their lives.

[swogerino]

I think most of the time they do yet yesterday a strange thing happened to me,while I have lost every single day(this makes me somewhat addicted as I have played everyday) I won big yesterday night in the game that made me experiences loses every day,I hit the x500 multiplier in level 3 of the bonus of Rabbit Garden equaling to x1500 of your bet at such level and won near 1000 dollars.

To make an analogy the addicted gamblers play with much higher bets than me and if they hit such multiplier or even higher they can win such a big amount that they can recover a lot.So almost always but not always.

I think that you are wrong that addicted lose money more often. Loser and unlucky lose money more often than other gamblers. Addicted just gamble more frequently and do it more passionately. What, if I daily buy a lottery ticket and lose, instead of a snack on a gas station, this means I am addicted? Or does it means I just love to test my luck daily? Or I can hourly collect money from casino faucet and play. 0 own money lost. Will is still mean that addicted lose all the time?

That would be ideal, imo, but is it happening in reality? Tiny bets after winning a million? I think that's not what an addicted gambler would be doing. Rather, he would be placing such bets that he would lose his million in a week or two.

That person can also be an addicted gambler, but that does not mean that he has lost a lot of money. I think many misunderstood meaning of addiction. Not always it means something negative. Like for example we drink coffee every day. We are coffee addicted, but that does not mean that we dont drink anything else.

Addiction is always something negative. Even addiction to coffee is bad for your health, addiction to food even. It's true that in some case addicted gambler is not losing a lot of money, but he's loosing his time, loses his sight if he's chained to the screen all the time. No, there's nothing positive in any addiction.

[Agbamoni]

No, we all win and lose that is how gambling works. Whether a person is addicted or not the same thing implies, there are times we may win and there are times that we may lose. Addiction only makes a gambler not quit gambling when he is supposed to and also it makes someone make wrong decision and develop bad gambling habits. For example- using money for important purposes for gambling, stealing or taking loans to gambling, going all in and so on.

I think that you are wrong that addicted lose money more often. Loser and unlucky lose money more often than other gamblers. Addicted just gamble more frequently and do it more passionately. What, if I daily buy a lottery ticket and lose, instead of a snack on a gas station, this means I am addicted? Or does it means I just love to test my luck daily? Or I can hourly collect money from casino faucet and play. 0 own money lost. Will is still mean that addicted lose all the time?

I don't want to believe that there is anything like unlucky people in gambling. Luck is something that can happen to anyone and that is rare. Even if there are no accurate or sure predictions when one is gambling at least there are level of accuracy to what we choose to bet. No one is perfect but we all try. You can't see some someone that looses so uncertain and still choose to gamble more.
