If you’re just happy not to lose much, are you really winning?

[junder]

Well, it's actually painful to see those who still lament about their losses while gambling knowing too well that gambling involves losing money and we must not keep winning at all time, most time we Incur losses while we also witnessed winning few times and winning is not actually that common and the casino is being built to favor the house. So, when gambling it's actually advisable not to gamble with amount extremely high for us because when losses come it gradually affects us.

There is no point in lamenting losses because, after all, defeat is a reality and there is no way to fix it, including by lamenting it. Lamenting it will only make us want to recover our losses by gambling again, while the outcome remains the same, there is no certainty.

As you said, casinos operate with the aim of making a profit, and that profit is obtained from players who deposit their money. We must remember that winning at gambling is not just about profit.

Yeap. If you are happy that you are limiting your loss, and you are having fun, then you are doing fine.
There is nothing that can be done about this but at the end of the day it is not really that shocking at all. We should not be really considering the situation that deeply, it is basically just a hobby.

People spend money on their hobbies and they can lose as much as possible. There is nothing that we can make this change, and for that reason we should not be really completely ignoring of the situation. It's worse if you are addicted and losing a lot more money.

But sometimes it’s worth questioning whether we’re still playing for fun, or just stuck chasing something that never really comes.

Very solid question if you ask me and one almost every gambler needs to ask themselves to check whether reality still matches the original reason they gamble. Basically you know, when you start measuring success by how little you lost instead of what you gained, it is a sign the experience has quietly shifted ad it is something you need to look into. But you see in gambling, if you are not losing money, say you are managing a dedicated amount, that is a very good thing because a terrible situation will be losing money, time and every other thing in between.

There is way this can be hack and we all know it but we don't want to do the right thing. Any time you visit a casino, you are going to see it written either on top of casino or in the footer page of the casino to gamble responsibly and this is strictly for 18+, that means the casino is trying to remember you that you are responsible for anything that happens but because some people want to buy Lamborghini urus, they will risk all their family inheritance because they want to make money from casino.

If you gamble with the money you can afford to lose, you are not going to have any regret for playing it even if you are not happy with the outcome. Most gamblers want to make money when they know that the casino are there to equally want money, fun fact they don't know is that casino will never allow you to game them and make them go broke, they will only allow gamblers to win with their games if they want you to win, the sport is entirely up to the outcome which is also hard to predict accurately.

It is mostly for the excitement of it, men thrive in competition, we love the challenge, this create some for of dopamine cause of the risks sto reward system this creates. Most a time, it's addictive, when there is too much dopamine rush, it creates some level of addiction that causes you to go back even after a loss.

Some do go back so that they can one day recover all there losses, or shorten it at loss, this is for those that hate losing when it comes to competition. On a norm, men do handle losses better but some don't and thus makes them go back to recover, now when at some point they're rewarded, it strengthen their belief that they can actually recover by going back this creating an endless circle of fail and repeat.

While some sees it as a form of entertainment and involvement in a particular lifestyle, when the gamble with their mates or peers, they feel socially included, they discuss the game, joke about it, feel included so they keep going back, basically we'll call it peer pressure.

I repeat this often — I don't have any such delusions to 'win' from gambling, if I were try to make money from gambling, I am sure, it'll royalty backfire. If you are gambling, it's better to not lose much even if you don't particularly win either.

As long as a gambler understands that it is how gambling works, I think nothing will hurt him, even if he loses a small amount of money, especially if he enjoyed himself playing slots, casino games, or sports betting.

I think that's the key to being optimistic about gambling, we enjoy it for a short amount of time, and we don't spend too much time on it. Also, we should not force it when it comes to the financial budget. If we are supposed to use the money for something important, do it first. Now, if there's excess money, use that to buy what you want or gamble it. This way, it becomes the money that "we can afford to lose," and gambling becomes more entertaining as we play.

Of course, the best way to win in your gambling activities is limiting your losses because we cannot prevent our losses but we can limit it by not gambling beyond your budget and stop the game at the right time. It was back days when I started gambling that I thought, it's easy to hit the jackpot but after I got addicted, I understood it was only a dream that will never come true.

Especially if they know their intentions and target for sure everything will be fine even if they are losing. Since personal satisfaction on what they are doing is really fine if their target is to have fun on the casinos they are playing.

If their intention is to roll their capital and try to earn lots of money, for sure there's instances that they might get disappointed especially they lose all their money on unexpected situations.

So this situation really depends on the expectations of people towards gambling.
