Does addicted gamblers only lose money all the time

[2Pizza410000BTC]

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?

I am trying to answer some of your questions from my point of view. You want to know that addicted gamblers always lose bets and always lose money. In answer to this question, I would like to say that if an addicted gambler gets too greedy in gambling then he may face losses in gambling but there are many gamblers who are addicted but not too greedy in gambling rather. He controls himself and gambles. These gamblers definitely have a high chance of profit in gambling and understand the dynamics of gambling.

Whether an addicted gambler wins a gambling bet or hits the jackpot depends entirely on luck. I cannot guarantee or guarantee when a gambler will win a big gambling jackpot. However, whether a gambler or a non-addict, winning or losing a gambling bet depends largely on luck. Although I myself am such a non-professional and amateur gambler, most of the time I have lost gambling bets and I consider it a cruel irony of my luck.

I believe that even successful gamers are a little addicted to games. Only this dependence is of a different type. This addiction forces successful players to spend many hours a day at the computer, analyze matches for a long time, study the potential of players, and collect statistics. This is all very hard and boring work that needs to be done in order to win in the long term. But the problem is that no one wants to do this. Nobody even wants to analyze the success of their strategy. This is precisely the weak point in the player’s preparation. Our weaknesses tend to add up. Only a good gaming addiction can counteract this.

you know that the possibility of people losing at gambling is much higher than winning, especially to get the jackpot, it seems much more difficult. gambling every day will not increase your chances of winning and getting the jackpot, it is just a way for you to spend your money, because again someone has a very big chance of losing at gambling. even when the addict hits the jackpot on their gambling, the most they do is use the money for sprees or return to gambling again, and this is what causes them to suffer because of their addiction to gambling.

I don't think addicted gamblers only lose, it is possible sometimes they win reasonable amount of money but one thing I know for sure is that being addicted is dangerous.  Addicted gamblers take much risk in gambling, they have the mind of gambling with all their money, they have the mind of gambling with peoples money , they have the mind of taking loan to gamble,  they can just do anything for gambling and taking risk like this is dangerous. Just imaging someone selling his car to play gamble and the game ends up as lose, how do you think the person will feel? In a situation like this the person can be hurt after losing a big amount of money, this is why addiction is bad.

The consequences of addiction is very bad and dangerous,  in addiction it is possible to win big but addiction can make one to take bad financial decision that can cause one to be  broke and the fear of the lose can make one to take dangerous decisions that can lead one of taking his or her life.
Since the other side of addiction is dangerous,  it makes no sense to consider the wins that addiction brings. The lose in addiction will bring more pains.

Basically gambling, addiction, winning and losing, my understanding is that this is a different issue, where we understand that someone is addicted to gambling doesn't mean they can win and lose, many of those who are addicted can win and many of those who are not addicted can lose.

I mean, gambling cannot be separated from fate and luck, I have seen those who gamble for fun and they win big jackpots, there are also those whose daily lives are spent gambling but never win the jackpot.

Thus, what we do in gambling depends on a person's good and bad luck. If it is bad luck, of course we will suffer losses, There are also those who are unlucky when they gamble and lose every day, meaning that such people gamble is not good for them and there are also those who gamble every day and always win, for this reason gambling does not depend on addiction for someone to lose and win.

Addicted gamblers win games every well. They win even more than normal gamblers but the difference is that they money they won 80% to 90% would go back to the casino and lost while responsible gamblers would used them to do something reasonable. A friend of my that is gambling addict won 1000 US dollars and it was only 200 dollars was used to buy phone and the rest was used to play gamble and in the process he won $300 and loss the rest. That is how they are. They win but they are not using the money to do better things. Some use it to pay credit they owed.

An addicted gambler is not always supposed to lose, they can win as well like normal gamblers, but the thing is, that they can't control themselves or the urge to gamble, and even if they win, they can't stop and withdraw the funds and use it for something else but what they do is keep gambling even after winning and eventually lose what they have already won either due to greed or while trying to win more so that they can recover some of their earlier losses.

Gambling addiction is like a curse, a person with millions of dollars can lose all their money in gambling because of their addiction, and this is the reason why a gambler needs to have control over their emotions and have the ability to control the urge to gamble so that they don't lose everything they have or they have won in gambling.

[alani123]

Addiction is like a course because you don't even get to enjoy your lucky wins. You want to play all the time. You have delusions that you will make everything back, that today is your day, that you will become rich etc. in the end the house edge always gets to you and you lose. It's crazy what kind of thought process the gamblers have. Some will even go ad far as to say that they will quit when they hit it big. And even on the rare rare occasion that they do, they still keep playing.

That's why I keep stressing that if you can't play with moderation better not play at all.

Anyone can gamble, but not everyone is able to control their actions, therefore we quite often see people having problems with the money and time they spend gambling. Maybe everyone has promised themselves to stick to their principles, the amount of money that should be spent on gambling, as well as how many hours of time to spend on gambling, but quite a few people deny it to themselves.

I think this is a normal thing, especially for those who are addicted to gambling, it is difficult to control their emotions even when they are in a winning position, and many people even forget to withdraw their initial capital. Those who are addicted to gambling will face the same cycle every day, because they it is quite difficult to find the same pleasure in other activities.

There is a lot of gambling advice, but a lot of it is also ignored if someone is addicted to gambling. For those who have a lot of money, they are more likely to experience gambling addiction, because they can access it every day and at any time. It all comes back to each individual perception and awareness, although sometimes circumstances require someone to stop gambling, many people also borrow money so they can continue gambling.

Nothing is ever this simple, if we all had constant losses it'd be so much easier to walk away as clearly the gamble is a easy marker to avoid and improve by not betting.

The complicating and confusing factor is winning, some people if you win too early and have too much success in an easy way its actually worse for you.  A hard won bet that only comes after time and some accumulation of finesse in your actions is going to last you better for years.

If the addictions is only to be stress on the screen then and not losing constantly to the act then maybe we can class that as actually a better addiction than losing and spending time being all stress out. As a gambler there are times that you would experience losses and sometimes winning but the major thing is that you learn how to manage these period because improper management is what really causes the addiction to be well known and noticable by other people around you. If a gambler understand the act of control then he could probably manage his addiction issues be it spending excessive time on the screen or just squandering money on gambling games.

Of course, addicted players win from time to time, and I think the biggest problem among them is that they boast about it with great pride to other players and their friends. But when the moment of losing comes, then of course they will forget to tell everyone about it.

I remember the names of many public streamers who played and lost a lot of money, but there were times when they won jackpots. At such a moment, I thought that this jackpot did not bring this player as much happiness as it can show on the screen. Because before that, he could have lost even more of this jackpot in his entire life. I saw how after that they left and did not return to gambling and public space, as well as those who continued to play after winning the jackpot and lost it without a trace. Sometimes I wondered how they imagine their lives, are they really going to play for the rest of their lives after winning, to be honest, their logic is still not completely clear to me.

That’s the problem with addicted gamblers, they never enjoy their money, even if they win. An addicted gambler will end up spending all the money won back on gambling, and they might end up losing it back. No matter the amount addicted gamblers are winning from gambling, you won’t know they have won because they hardly do things for themselves, they are always hoping to increase the money, and they will keep on gambling till everything is gone and they will have to start afresh.
 
If you calculate the amount lost by addicted gamblers and the amount they have won, then you will see it doesn’t really make sense. The best thing is to stay away from gambling addiction, because you might find it very difficult to stop.

The connection with losing money with addiction is not so close. Addiction to the definition of wanting something that must be achieved and when facing a bad situation, it will not be accepted so that emotions and physical no longer unite.
Addicted to gambling, addicts do not accept defeat so that the feeling of wanting to continue to win will be done. Well, that's when the addict lost a lot of money.

Only two gambling. Win and lose.
Why many here direct people so as not to become addicts because it is bad.
Very good if there are gamblers who set the money limit for gambling so that the gambling played can be controlled.
When gambling continues to be in a losing position, the mind must arise that we need a break and come back tomorrow. Means the level of luck is bad.

I am not a medical doctor, but an addiction is I think per se a pathological description for an unhealthy state of mind (and body maybe). You could argue that someone who spends 50% of his life on gambling is addicted, but one guy might do it differently than another. In my opinion any sort of excessive behavior takes away time from other areas of life, but how would anyone argue when an addicted guy makes a few million in gambling in a couple of years? Then it was the addiction that ultimately made the person rich and allowed that person to live a life in freedom.

So the question would be whether the outcome of an addiction could ever be deemed positive? An addiction does not describe a losing behavior in gambling, but rather the total time spent and whether someone can say stop, but why would the person say stop if that person found a way to make money constantly? Is it an addiction? Is it smart to keep going?

But on a more general note I think that if someone spends the majority of time on gambling, chances are very little that the person has the focus and the mechanics under control to reliably stay in the net positive. It more likely points out a weakness that maybe a hint for further weaknesses.

It would be interesting to see though what a doctor would say if someone explains that he is making millions while spending 12 hours a day on gambling for the last 12 months.

I do agree that a lot of the gamblers just end up gambling the way they want to gamble and that won't be such an easy situation at all. We should consider how to make it work and that means we are going to see it grow.

A lot of gamblers will focus on how to make it work, which won't be all that easy, and the reality is that we are going to end up with something much more profitable. Of course it is not easy to be a gambler and keep making money, but if you know what you are doing then you are not going to lose much, and there are days when the luck is on your side and you make that money easily. This isn't all that complicated, gambling is pure luck, and while most people lose, sometimes we get quite lucky and make some money.

But it has cure, just that some gamblers don't know how to stop addicted to gambling and they think putting more money is what will help them to recover all the money they have use than to see them losing more.  

You want to use your borrow money to win big money to pay back, is what is making some gamblers to be addicted to gambling and even though they win from the gambling center, they will still continue gamble until they lose all the money before they will realize that they made mistakes.

And they will said once they win big money, they will stop gambling , and they will win big money and they will continue gambling,which I have such gamblers around my environment who later got addicted to gambling, and they have sold many of their prosperities but they couldn't recover their money back.

This is as simple as it is but many don't see that they're going to listen to anybody even if they know that the reminder is right and gonna be helpful to them control themselves.

First and a few tries are fine and if you can't keep going on with that because you have been incurring only losses, better stop.

But if you can still moderate that and all you wanna do is to continue whichever the results will be, you're good. However, results can also trigger our emotions for real.

Let's look at gambling with this analogy. Let's take yogurt taking as regular thing you do as gambling, you love it and you can't do a day without taking it. Someone with high blood sugar will likely suffer it if they continue to drink sweetened Yoghurt, that's like got addicted to gambling and then suffer a more catastrophic health condition, the more you continue to take it, the more you endanger yourself which is how gambling is and you may be drinking it and nothing might not be happening at all, that's to say that you love taking it but because you have low sugar, you are not feeling the side effect and that describe people that addicted to gambling but don't have losses.

See gambling as the analogy I just explained above, you don't necessarily need to loss to be addicted to gambling, it's when it becomes something you can't do without you called addiction, you can be in church for prayers and sermon and your attention will be on gambling, that's show your level of gambling bit it doesn't really mean you are suffering from it financially but you might be suffering from it mentally that's why you need some breaks from gambling.

[BABY SHOES]

I consider gambling addiction bad, because no matter how they win the jackpot does it make them quit the addiction? Of course not, precisely from the victory will continue to play until it loses everything, that gambling without self-control is meaningless, I mean that the end is losing losing too.

Addiction is not not winning, but the ratio of wins and losses is greater to lose, meaning those who are addicted will lose more, right?

Still gambling must have limits otherwise it will make you worse, don't let your time be spent gambling while you don't make money elsewhere then for me it's bad behavior.
