Most of us gamblers already know the reality. In the long run, casinos are profitable, not us. No matter how much research we do, we never really find a situation where the edge is clearly on our side.

Have you ever reached a point where winning feels so hard that you end up being thankful you didn’t lose that much? Like you look back and ask yourself, how long have I been gambling already, am I actually winning overall? And if the honest answer is no, then why am I still playing?

I’m not saying gambling is bad by default. But sometimes it’s worth questioning whether we’re still playing for fun, or just stuck chasing something that never really comes.

Since I started gambling I have learnt one thing from gambling and I have put that which I learnt into practice and that is to stop gambling if I find myself on loosing streak because once you decide to chase your looses wanting to win and recoup your looses you will loose more, so for you to clear your head and safe some money before resuming you just have to take a break from it, that doesn't mean you won't gamble again but just to have a sound mind from the many looses you just take a break.

No one really feels happy not winning as winning is one of the core reasons why we gamble even though some of us gamble for fun and not really profit, most people can decide to be happy even though they are loosing due to the little amount they have used in betting the games and when they loose they feel happy for not using a huge amount of money to bet, but if you accumulate all that you have loose you will realize you have loose alot of money too.

“If you are only happy because you didn't lose much, did you really win?” I would say yes, in terms of behavior, it is certainly a victory, where we can stop to prevent greater losses from occurring, so that is also a victory, just not a monetary one.
And from a monetary point of view, of course it is not a win, because we have lost the money we bet.

Have you ever reached a point where winning feels so hard that you end up being thankful you didn’t lose that much? Like you look back and ask yourself, how long have I been gambling already, am I actually winning overall? And if the honest answer is no, then why am I still playing?

Every casino game is compose of house edge, that means chances is in favor to casino in the long run. Although, you win in a shorter time, while you go betting, it's harder to win in the long run. That's only a probability at law of large numbers, if you bet enough times, your result will be pulled down into a negative expected value and the casino will win at the end. Usually, people remembered the  remarkable big wins or a lucky session, but mostly of the gamblers can't maintain earnings in the long time because of that buit-in edge and variance. In my view, if you are happy enough that your loss is not that big, that's okay as an entertainment, but it is not like a true winning. The true lasting income in pure luck games is extremely rare,, so why playing? Caue it gives us thrills  Wink
