If you can maintain mental balance, winning is just a variable outcome.
You can get a winning streak or a losing streak, but if you have your own rules, it doesn't change your habits.
Essentially it's just a variable of gambling and betting in general, skills are just a relative aspect because as skilled as he is at betting it's always about probability and luck.

I've been telling people that when they want to get involved with gambling, they shouldn't do it when they're going through real-world problems, because that would be terrible. Unfortunately, many people don't realize that although gambling is seen as a form of entertainment, it's a different kind of entertainment, and therefore people need to deal with it in a special way. And for me, in sports betting, there's no such thing as luck; the person who best analyzed the game wins.

Some of the things making addicted gamblers not to stop gambling is greed and chasing losses, I also gamble for fun but I have not gotten addicted to gambling simply because I'm not greedy and I don't chase losses over and over again when I lose money and l can also say that losing is what makes people addicted. Skill in gambling does not guarantee that you will win, so I think that both luck and skills play a role in your winnings and luck takes the lead, however it is also important to know that luck doesn't happen everyday and when luck is absent skill steps in but it doesn't mean instant wins.
I think cahsing losses has to be the biggest issue and it is one of the things that makes people addicted to gambling the most...the constant cycle of chasing losses is a psychological trap and overtime it becomes a lifestyle, this is the reason why a gambler can lose 500 dollars all because he decided to chase 50 dollars, logically it makes no sense but that's what addiction can do

I think cahsing losses has to be the biggest issue and it is one of the things that makes people addicted to gambling the most...the constant cycle of chasing losses is a psychological trap and overtime it becomes a lifestyle, this is the reason why a gambler can lose 500 dollars all because he decided to chase 50 dollars, logically it makes no sense but that's what addiction can do

If you fall into this trap and want to win back your losses by any means, then yes that's possible, but when you read this and try to comprehend it logically, then you understand that losing $500 just because you were initially trying to win back $50 is pointless. I think this could really be framed as a reminder, something you could put in front of yourself so you can see it every time you think about winning back after each loss. )

What will be the need of chasing money that is gone when you can allow it to go and come back another time to bet maybe you can recover your money. Gambling is not easy to say and do what you say you are going do ans achieve from gambling.
It is very important for gamblers to stay out of trouble by gambling on games they know will be profitable for the using minimal amount that will not cost too much if the money is being taken by the casino. Casino will make profit from you and some other time, you can make money from the casino. This happens often and their is no way you can know when you are going to be profitable.

The ability to walk away losses is one of the methods of keeping a calm heart such that you can reason well when confronted by the betting table. You do not want to press matters and think that everything opens up to those who wait long. A small capital is one way of being in the game without having the financial strain on your shoulders. The third parties consider this as a rationality in the treatment of losses which are an inseparable side of gambling.

Once they start, it’s hard to put an end to it, and the more they try to recover the small amount, that’s how much the number will be increasing imagine someone trying to recover $50 and ending up losing more than $500 and when they calculate how much they have lost in total they still try to recover that big amount and the more they go, the lesser the chances of succeeding and the higher the money they lose.

Yep, it is a big issue in gambling because people often turn to be greedy when they win 1 or 2 times. Also, people often become emotional and try to recover their losses whenever they get a big lose. These are 2 most reasons that people always continue to play and end up with an excessive gambling. Sure, people can lose $500 or even bigger if they never think to stop after few attempts. For the addicts, they even can lose all their money.

Well, it is true that it is a kind of psychological trap. This can be fixed once we change our mindset. However, it won't be easy because many people don't realize their misunderstanding about gambling. They are confident that they do it in a proper way. Unfortunately, it actually ruins their life.

When I first bet, I won $50 and was very happy, but later, when I kept betting in the hope of winning more, I lost. Then, a friend of mine bet double than me and won.

Most people say that they gamble for fun, but at some point, it turns out that even though they played for fun at first, they became addicted to gambling and later they are the ones trying to get out of this addiction. Is it the winning at first and then losing and trying to improve their skills after losing and then losing or winning again that keeps people from not getting out of gambling addiction, or is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.
It is the people who couldn't control their own who drowns in addiction.
It isn't about skill it is about self control, there is no such thing as 100% win rate no matter how skilled you are, there is only self control that you wouldn't be swayed by greed.
Know how to limit their self to know when to quit and take profit while ahead and doesn't get greedy to lose it all.

There is one thing about gambling that people fail to understand which discipline, no matter how fun you might claim to be my dear it is only discipline that can easily save you from addiction. Because at first many gamblers started gambling in a mature way but you will be very surprised about the way gambling will be controlling them due to over confidence and greed. It is only few gamblers that would easily stop when they are on winning streak, that is why you see those gamblers claiming that are gambling fun fall addicted to because they see themselves as people that are bigger than losing forgetting that luck plays a big role in the game.

Yeah right, if you have that control and you practice discipline about controlling yourself even there's no accurate or assurance that you'll going to always win, but if you can manifest to stop whenever opportunity opens when luck permits you to win, then the chance of making money still possible, when you timingly stop when you are still in the positive side, then you'll enjoy the benefits.
