Does addicted gamblers only lose money all the time

[GxSTxV]

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?

I see so many people talking about gambling and its addiction without having any idea or clue about what they are saying. Unless you are a gambler I would say that you wouldnt understand how easy it is to get addicted and keep losing. Asking this question is totally fine if you want to understand what actually happens in gambling.
First of all, the casino is a business designed for the owner to make money from gamblers, so logically you shouldn’t expect to win anything easily. The chances of winning something significant at the very start are less than 1%. Second, when you mentioned hitting the jackpot, you should know it is almost impossible in many casinos or slots that a new or regular gambler to get a chance for a huge jackpot, simply because the casino won’t spend a significant amount of their earnings on so many gamblers that just started gambling, most of the time the ones who hit jackpot have already lost bigger than that prize.

On the other hand, anyone can definitely experience a winning session sometimes, but the difference between a casual gambler and an addict is whether you know when to stop. Over the long term it is a sure thing that you will lose if you keep playing. Addicted gamblers may experience huge wins sometimes, but they never cash out or stop playing. They keep chasing more wins or the good feeling when they risk their money, and that my friend is called an adrenaline rush or excitement feeling. This feeling is as addictive as any other drug, and that’s why addicts always lose money in the long term.

Usually yes they are losing terribly most of the time but they can't decide to quit easily since they already been hooked up on the site they are playing that's why other choose to have a professional help so they can getaway with their addiction.

Maybe some of those people win a lot  of money then it came unto their mind that they can do the same if they are consistent that's why we see a destructive behavior done for some people since what they think that their current activity made still fine and they can recover back their fund lost next time. Maybe learn from different opinion and try not to experience this situation. We can enjoy gambling without putting to much pressure on our selves and aim to have fun and not to became competitive for profits.

I can assure you that those who are gambling addicts will only experience defeat forever, those who are gambling addicts have no ability to control themselves, every time they have money, they will immediately use it for gambling capital even when their money runs out, they will create new debts to use as gambling capital, this is the reason why most gambling addicts always lose and will always lose, they will never make a profit when gambling.

I also somewhat agree with you that people addicted to gambling also have periods of falling into luck and winning but that is not the final stage in the gambling process, they prefer to end it more with pain when instead of trying to have another plan after winning, they are more proactive with gambling, whether it comes from consciousness or instinct, their depravity is limitless and from the victory achieved, they returned with enormous debt. Stopping at the winning stage, everything has no script behind it, but unfortunately, addicts have behaviors that are too special and difficult to understand in strange ways.

Addiction isn't really about win or lose, it's about how much control they have over their wins and losses. For the fact addiction means they don't have any control over their actions so even if they win big still, they are going to continue and that time they might lose and this keeps on going in an endless loop.

I am remembering an internet story which is true though, someone who worked in garbage disposal won millions in lottery but after few years he came back to work again for the same work cause he lost all the money while gambling, irony though.

It is not that addicted gamblers don't win huge amount of money, they do but due to addiction they don't use the money to invest or for an important purpose but they gamble all their wins in one night or two.

Addicted gambler and a responsible gambler is bound to losses upon losses, because we loss more than the getting profit, which is why it is very bad to be addicted. This is because when you are addicted, you will not be able to control your losses which is connected to your emotions , which is the only difference between an addicted gambler and a responsible gambler. You should also know that money will not always be there for you to gamble which makes it unethical to be addicted, because at a point you might become a pest on people around you.

Gambling addicts might have more chances to win big since they gamble more. However, it shouldn't be an excuse to gamble more than you can afford to lose. Gambling is practically a game of luck, so these people also win, and some also win big. But the problem with them is that even when they win big, they still gamble off the money. This is the reason why many gamblers who win big become broke after some time. This is because instead of investing the money, it will still go back to betting. It is noteworthy to include that gambling addiction is not a terrible condition but a behavioral disorder that can be handled if it is given the right approach.

Talking about the badness of gambling addiction does not mean that a gambling addict never wins when placing a bet, because I am sure that if we play every once in a while we will definitely win as well as gambling addicts, gambling addicts are the behavior of an irresponsible gambler who thinks that gambling is a a place to earn a living so that every day they will gamble and are even willing to lose everything even though they are actually aware that if they continue to play they will continue to suffer losses.

Not all the time, they have a share of winning and the excitement and the winning make them gamble more winning is addictive and so is the thrill of taking risks these two combinations make up why people become addicted to gambling

Even if you're winning it is still terrible if you're neglecting your work and personal life and it causing depression, A gambling platform is an entertainment portal, whether you win or you lose you should feel good when you get out of it.

Some addicted gamblers actually win money from what they're doing, but they're so into gambling that they don't consider these 'wins' as wins at all because they are locked into winning the jackpot at all times. If they are not hyperfocused in winning the big bucks, they would realize that there are days wherein they are doing good which may even make them 'feel good' in gambling because it's not always losses after all.

Good examples are streamers who have lost huge amounts in gambling. You can see that they're winning good every now and then, but they don't consider it as something positive, thus continuing to gambling which ends up to them losing it all. If they just realize that they already made money for the day, they wouldn't be too deep into losses at all.

That's why it's important to control ourselves so we don't overdo it. Sometimes people are never satisfied with our winnings at gambling so they continue the game trying to get more, even though they should have stopped gambling but instead they continue, that's the wrong choice, definitely not. will be successful because gambling is not like that. You have to know when to gamble and stop gambling. If you can do that, it means that person can control himself properly.

Everyone must have been like that, never feeling satisfied with their winnings and achievements in gambling, even though victory will not come a second time in one moment, but people prefer to continue gambling so they lose and go bankrupt and even become addicted to gambling which ultimately makes them continue to be curious. and continues to play even unconsciously experiencing defeat every day without caring how much money he has lost from his savings, this is like seeing my friend because it's almost like that, but he has changed his game to be more calm and relaxed, he doesn't want to achieve high wins for him now is to win with whatever profit is enough to enjoy it.

Yes, addicted gamblers lose money frequently because they are always finding it difficult to stop gambling whenever they are losing, which is always making them lose frequently. When gambling, you are supposed to know when you should stop gambling, when you are losing, you should know when to stop, and when you are winning, you should also know when to stop. Don’t say you won’t stop gambling just because you are winning, the winning won’t continue.

Do you means those guys doesn't win anything at all? Can they not be lucky to win jackpots?

Addicted gamblers do win, but if the amount won and lost is calculated, then you will come to discover that the amount lost is more than the amount they have won. The mindset addicted gamblers always have is that if they don’t stop gambling, time will come when they will be able to hit the jackpot.

The main reason why gamblers still play is clearly because of the hope of winning. so gamblers will not always experience defeat in gambling. some random wins are common. it's just that addicted gamblers have no control over their gambling, so instead of looking for safe bets, they will gamble until they get their targeted winnings. that's what makes them experience defeat more often than victory.

Gambling addiction is quite dangerous, it does not only relate to the gambler himself. but also the people around the gambler. including family and friends who can suffer the effects of their bad addiction.
gamblers see the chances of winning as they wish. and that's what makes it very difficult for them to stop before they lose everything.

The streamer example you gave, I don't think they are even to be considered as addicts because they are in it to win more members to follow them and that is strictly for business. They are also not in the same level with gambler who is an addict because they are paid to stream unlike the gambler that won't have any fall back bankroll when he loses his capital. Hence, on the last part, streamer don't discontinue even when they realize that they have made money, they continue to see that they show intending members how to take the right steps in betting a particular game.

They do win money, some of them are actually that lucky, these gamblers who are addicted don not loose money all the time, they only behave in a way that sometimes doesn't present them to be in control of their habit and that's is why it has always been referred to like a problem and not the fact that they win money or not, they actually do win money but they most times don't get to make good use of the money and that gets to put them in the situation where they are been considered bankrupt and since they seem to lack control over the habit, they eventually result to unhealthy habits to fund their gambling habit which in turn make many others consider them bad.

These addicted gamblers could actually be winner who probably win game often but they do reinvest the money back because they tend to believe they are most definitely goin to make back the whole fund on their next game and due to the fact that they are addicted, they always have this urge to gamble and they try to satisfy it by almost every means possible which sometimes includes using funds that may not be theirs as well.

Streamers are not meant to be in the picture as it's not regarded a form of addiction. Streamers as you already said, Gozie, are in for the business and are just marketers who work for the casino. Rumor has it that they get funded by the casino to wager while streaming. Back to the discussion, I'd say that addicts always lose, nothing else. It's a dreaded form of gambling and not all addicts make it to 5 minutes in the game before all their money gets exhausted.

I've read of an addict that goes all in immediately he gets to the casino. So, gambling addicts find themselves always losing. That doesn't mean they don't win, it's normal for every gambler to win money, but what mostly matters is whether the gambler went on or stopped after winning. If the player doesn't stop, he'd most definitely lose out all his funds again. Hence, gambling addicts belong to the group of players who don't actually stop regardless of how much they've won in the game. The result always ends up in losses, as they don't get tired of the game. That's what addiction is about, they can't stop playing.

Gambling addicts do win money from gambling, they are not exempted from winning too just as non-gambling addicts. We might be shocked to know that gambling addicts could be getting much wins than those of us that gamble responsibly but those wins don't show in their lives because they without hesitation gamble back those wins instead of using the money to build something development to their life. It is for this that addiction is said to be a terrible attitude.

Gambling addiction is so terrible that people won't know or even believe that as a gambler you have ever won some good amount of money before because they are not seeing any signs around you that depict that due to how mesmerizing addiction must have gotten a better part of the person.

If a gambling addict can spend all of his hard earned salary at ones within a gambling session how much more will he not squander money won from gambling back into same gambling it was gotten from?

[ethereumhunter]

Addicted gamblers can wins in gambling but they still don't knows how often they can wins because that depends on their luck. If they are lucky, they can wins even many times but the casino will not lets the gamblers wins so much money. If gamblers can't controls themselves in gambling, they will becomes addicted to gambling and that will cause them loses much money. Even if he can wins, his losses will be bigger than his wins so he must understands that he can only playing gambling for fun. If addicted gamblers wins much money, they will not stops from gambling and will keeps playing gambling. Maybe they will come back to casino and continues playing gambling and hopes they can wins for more. It's a normal if they feels like that and even we also feels like that but we will still difficult to wins in gambling.

Statistically speaking, there are chances a person who is addicted to gambling could win some money during one of his sessions, that is true, but you also need to keep in mind the gambling addict do not care about what he has been able to win in a single session, they will always come back and likely lose that small win he had from the casino, there is where the problem lies, you know.
For example, a person who has a crippling gambling addiction could loss inna single win around 800$, but in the next day, he got lucky and got a win of over 1000$. what do you think he is going to do? stop and enjoy his win? Absolutely not, he will come back in the next day with those thousand dollars and will convince himself he has managed to find his charm or he has managed to find some technique to continue to win. Before he even realizes, he will be penniless again and will continue to gamble even further, accumulating losses, that is the problem with gambling addicts: they cannot stop and in their mind do not desire to stop after a reasonable win.

[Mia Chloe]

Addicts just like the regular gamblers and responsible gamblers also win and lose. However the difference lies in a lot of of factors like how much time is spent on gambling activities, how often then win, how much they risk in their stakes with respect to their earnings and even how serious they take their analysis. The fact is that gambling addicts spend more time during Gambling activities compared to responsible gamblers.
In addition, addicts tend to stake more during Gambling activities and also relatively tend to lose more stakes during Gambling activities. If you come to think of it , successful gamblers are often tagged as successful because of their numerous number of wins compared to their losses. In fact gambling addicts on the other hand are tagged as addicts because they lose more often than they make wins.

Addicted gamblers also win, sometimes huge amount of money. But, the money lost so far are often higher than the money won  through gambling. In most cases, this money are not accounted for because these gamblers spend recklessly and still return back to gambling because they know there is more from where that came from. This lifestyle is as good as not winning anything at all.

Gambling addiction is not all about losing money. Addicted gamblers often invest a lot of time in gambling and this often affects other aspects of their lives negatively. I have seen cases where marriages get broken, jobs lost and relationships get strained all because of excessive gambling.  Whether gamblers are earning from being addicted or not, addiction is not a healthy lifestyle.
