Gambling is the psychological game !

[rachael9385]

If the losing gambler knew that he would lose again on the next bet, he would not bet. If he also knew that he would probably not win again on the day he made all the bets he had made and had lost several times, he would stop there. The expectation of winning keeps gamblers alive and tempts them to bet again and again.

What do you think ?

That's just it, no one would know what the future entails, otherwise no one would ever make mistake. Although it is certain that all gamblers knows that they will lose but they just keep trying their luck. What makes gambling what it is, is because it is unpredictable despite we claim to predict. So if gambling where to be predicted accurately or if people knew they where going to loose, nobody will gamble. because the loser are more than the winners.

Some gamblers just want to have hope that they can become rich in future with gambling. That's why they keep on trying their luck irrespective of their losses. Gambling is a game that you cannot know when your luck will shine. Thos is why no one should have confidence on his bet because it can make you bet with big amount of money and become emotional.

It's obvious that such gamblers believe in the elements of surprise, they just gamble everyday because they believed that one day they will also be lucky to win huge amount of money through gamble. Some of them are not yet addicted to gamble, but many of them are because they are very desperate for the winning. Actually it every important to take a break from gamble when you are not winning, even though it's the amount you can afford to risk, at some point taking a break will give you more time to concentrate on something else instead of chasing what you can't control which is luck.

I also believe that taking a break from the game is important because I myself went through a long break from the game, and it allowed me to rethink a lot. For example, I began to approach the game more philosophically and react much less emotionally to losses, which gives me an advantage over other players. I think many players today simply can't control their emotions and easily slip into tilt, where there are no boundaries whatsoever. This is extremely dangerous for your bankroll, which can be destroyed in an instant.

There should be a point at which he should stop. Expectation should end when you are putting so much money, and you are out of control, and your motivation is to beat the house or regain your losses.

Hope or expectation is good when you know your limitations, and you can stop at your set limitation. The problem with many gamblers is their false confidence and belief; responsible gamblers do not have these kinds of beliefs, so they remain safe.

Basically, greed works the most in a gambler. When he loses a bet, he has a greed that he will win in the next bet, but if he knew that he would lose the next bet too, he would definitely not take it. However, if a responsible person bets and loses, he does not bet again, but he waits for some time and stops, hoping that he may win later. However, we know that lucky gamblers often win big and even if they lose the bet later, they can continue gambling according to their expectations. They have enough money in their fund and keep some money in an emergency position so that if they lose, they do not get too much psychological damage. Gambling is a psychological game where only those who can control themselves can survive here and those who are greedy will have their mental state deteriorate further. There are some people who win and do not want to stop when they lose later. Even though they are lucky, at some point they lose a lot, mainly because they cannot control themselves.

That's human nature, greed. And when someone loses, the tendency is to recover those loses no matter what. Thus, the end game is either spend the savings or take a loan from others. And when that happens, it means, you are more or less in trouble especially if you have no back-up plans when it comes to other sources of money.
So before you put yourself in a tight position, think of the reasons why you don't need to put yourself in a rabbit hole. Think of your immediate family who is relying from you. Or your bills that you need to be paid at the end of every month. So yes, you need to think smart here before you are in trouble with finances.

Isn't that is obvious in the very essence of 'gambling'? I would even argue that it is same for every endeavor in one's life. Without the expectation of a possible reward you will not even move a inch simply because of lack of dopamine. I am not saying this to support compulsive gambling behavior which revolves around a fallacy that with increasing number of losses you are keep progressing towards a major win.
I remember writing a relevant topic about it, may be you want to read it: Loss Aversion: A Critical Factor for Responsible Gambling.

The uncertainty of not winning the next bet is what makes the gambling exciting, if one know which bet they will win and not then do you think they will be on the losing bet and if they don't bet then how do you expect the casinos to generate revenue?

It is very basic thing, future is unpredictable, the possibility of winning money makes the people to take such risks.

That's for sure, truely if people know  they will lose, they will not bet on it. That's why gambling is unpredictable, people just bet blindly hoping they win, even though they know they know they might not win. The truth is that casino is programmed in a way that you will never know the outcome of your gambling or bet, no matter how skillful you are. This is just to maintain the house edge, sothat they will win sometimes and lose sometimes which is vise versa to you, but of course the casino will be more profitable than the gambler. So we don't need to think of how to win only because it is certainly not possible.

You have a point that gambling is not so much of a game of luck, but it is a psychological fight. Most gamblers are victims of greed particularly after losing as they reason that the next bet will bring back the money back. This can normally result in a pursuit of losses and poor decision making. Social responsible gamblers know their boundaries and use gambling as an amusement. They are aware when to pull back theirWOW and not put money at risk that should be used in other key roles such as family needs or bills. Gambling is easily transformed into a serious financial and mental issue without self-control and discipline.

If the losing gambler knew that he would lose again on the next bet, he would not bet.

I have to disagree.

A gambler will make a bet no matter what, the reason behind that is simple, because of his previous winnings. The thing is that whenever we experience winning in gambling, there's a sudden high dopamine spike that makes us happy, and that's what is addicting. We're going to crave that kind of feeling that's why we're going to keep on betting just to experience winning again.

And that is when everything gets chaotic. You'll lose yourself, even your family because of gambling addiction.

[TedMosby]

As long as you involve emotion and feelings in gambling, you will lose. I am not saying you will win if you can manage your feelings. But most of the time, people who involve feelings in gambling have a bigger chance of losing. For example, feeling “almost” made it [1], feeling like you know the algorithm, like L, L, L, the next one is probably W [2]. Sometimes, a random big win also makes you feel you are a lucky person, so no matter how many times you L, you feel like you just need to hit that big W once and you are good to go.
