believe me, one last deposit, is a lie!

[stadus]

Certainly a big lie. Otherwise, people would have not experienced too much losses if they are in control of their emotions when they are gambling. But let's be honest here, once a gambler, you know for sure that you can't be certain when to stop gambling and make the last deposit. You will always have buts and ifs going in your mind,  that's why most of the gamblers find it hard to stick to their words when they tell they're making the last deposit.

Even myself, I always fall on it. Good thing I'm in control with my bankroll, and even if I do lose at some point, but I'm losing just a manageable amount, that's the good thing if you're still in control of your own emotions and decision-making.

The issues of addiction in gambling that you have presented here are correct. Yes, when a person loses repeatedly in gambling, he cannot forget the grief of losing his money. He becomes more aggressive in gambling and starts betting more money to recover the money he lost in gambling, but in the end, it is seen that he has lost the last money. Again, there are many gamblers who have won several times in gambling and are using that victory as an incentive to gamble more. This is basically greed. They are using more money in the hope of winning more to maintain the previous continuity, which undoubtedly cannot be the right strategy for gambling.

This is not a general thing but a personal thing. Lack of experience is the reason you see almost every person push themselves in chasing a win when they first lost. Sometimes in situation were they won too, you see them also chasing more win. The mind is what has been affected not the regular thing. You know the funny part of it all. The win is not a big win yet they lack control of their habit. Imagine if they win a big win. Addiction is what will come next for such a person. It wont be visible to the eye until they are deeply addicted.

It's very important to have some form of disciplinary structure when you are gambling.
Setting a starting budget, proper money management and the ability to know when to stop are all important when gambling.

Not every gamblers are able to practice all these you mentioned, some are prone to excessive deposit whenever little wins is experienced from the early trial, many factors influenced them too to misbehave in an abrupt manner thereby causing them to mismanage their funds while gambling excessively.

Those factors are now beyond the player and nothing could be done to safeguard how their impulses responds or reacts to little wins or losses, in ways that are abnormal and unacceptable, gamers who find it hard to stay in control of this reactions tend to be steps closer to never understanding what should be done regarded controlling a loss or win, and lives by the notion that winning must be attained, that is why they need to deposit too often, when you're with players like you could unconsciously tell them that it's okay, but they'll respond with words llike, Mind your own business.

[Cantsay]

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

Hehe. The realization of the danger of the “one last deposit” trap is the beginning of wisdom.

I have been a victim of the one last deposit trap and I know what it cost me. Just a single harmless thought of wanting to go one last time, just make a little deposit and that deposit kept increasing until my entire account got drained.

Those who haven’t experienced it might argue that it’s not a big deal and that it can be stopped, only those who have experienced it will understand what it feels like to be in such situation especially when that last deposit was from a money you budgeted for something else.

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

I might say a lie if I will tell it didnt happened to me. I guess everyone has this habit of believing that one last deposit or try might change the potential betting output, I dont know but indeed like a ritual or something for every gambler.

But that was in the past I rarely do this feat now and sticking with my goal to only play what my budget for the day. Its really hard when your urge to play is there. I guess once in a while I will do this again if the games really that thrilling and exciting.

I have seen many people with a reassuring speech making vows looking like the end of gambling ,but before the end of that day, you see them going back to gambling like they have never vowed never to gamble again. It's very easy to say this is my last game in gambling and will still be tempted to go into it again.
A former college some years ago, became very deep in gambling that he rearly can save money due to gambling addiction and the urge to reverse his losses to gains. This continues becoming worst everyday, so one day he was tired and he said to home self, I don't deal with gambling, gambling will deal with me. So he deleted his account. And it all feels good and calm, not untill the following week he has downloaded the app again. Then I knew it was not just about saying I won't do it again but making up ones mind to quit no matter what happens.

Thankfully, I think I have never been a victim of that trap of the last deposit, though I can understand why there are so many people who fall for it, it is a combination of an adversity to loss and the façade of responsibility when gambling. Nobody likes to admit one is a gambling addict, after all.

I don't know what would be better for a newbie gambler, to fall for the trap of last deposit (which is a similar thing to chasing losses), or beginning their gambling journey with beginner's luck.

[SamReomo]

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

Fortunately, I'm not among those gamblers who keep doing one last deposit because for me it's important to gamble with responsibility and only for fun. I gamble with a fixed amount per week sometimes per month and if I lose that amount I never deposit anything else.

I'm into sports betting and sometimes I play poker, I've stopped playing other casino games from a long time, I only play those a few times per year but never add anything higher than $10 for such games.

this is one of the things that we lack in gambling especially some of us who think about the gambling will make us to be rich and we can benefit with gambling to the extent, if a gambler have a budget there is nothing will make the gambler to exceed the budget, secondly if a gambler should know when to gamble are the one to stop in gambling it will be a working tools for The Gambler not to be addicted, what is said is what that has been in my mind and what are being campaigning for everyday concerns gambling

I’d rather a newbie gambler experiences the beginners luck and then realise later that things aren’t all that sweet when it comes to gambling than for them to be caught up in the “one last deposit trap”. It’s more like a newbie gambler who starts his/ger gambling journey by chasing loses and we all know how dangerous it can get when a gambler starts to look for means to get back what they lost to gambling.

You're right. Not all gamblers have good discipline, setting funds limit, and make clear plans. Some gamblers may gamble in random ways, even worse they have bad mentality. Those gamblers who suddenly deposit with bigger amount of money and try to chase wins after winning few times, they have lack of understanding of gambling and they are greedy. This mostly happens in the beginner level although experienced gamblers can do it as well. So, it is about mentality. Any gambler who have weak mentality, they probably can gamble in careless ways.

You are lucky if you can really keep up with your set limit, because that means, you are disciplined enough to commit with your promise to yourself. Not many gamblers can really abide by their boundaries and be consistent about it.

Gambler's easily get carried away by the little changes amd happening around their games, while some does that because of their level of greed, others just exhibit that character because of their lack of bankroll management,  this drag them into position that could be unfriendly to them as gamblers, but what I see to be the problem os that, they lack decipline and proper management of their finances.

it's possible to be in control of your emotions as a gambler but the main problem here is your mind,  a lot of people find it difficult to discipline themselves and control their emotions instead they allow thier emotions to control them which eventually leads to disaster. it is possible for gamblers to decide not to deposit into their gambling account, it might be difficult but it's possible, all it takes it just discipline.

[Yablee0]

Anytime you are in that mood to chase losses just know that there is nothing like a last deposit because the more you tell yourself that's you just want to play one more game it's going to lead to multiple trials which eventually leads to losses. The best thing to do is always to stop whenever you can instead of continuing because whenever you think about what you have lost when gambling there is no way you can stop easily because you would want to keep on trying to recover, at this point it's actually desperation and you are going to end up losing more than you planned to.

That's why chasing of lost is a major destroyer in gamble and it is the worst that can ever happen to anyone as long as gamble is concerned. However, the casinos will always advice for we to gamble responsible because even them that owns it knows the implications involved in doing otherwise.   And also, for some times I have being in the game, I have learned a lot and one of the major reason people get stuck in gambling addition is lose chasing. Their is no way you can retrieve all your lost funds to be very honest, you must let go if your really want to stay safe because the more hard you go trying to get back your lost the more deeper you get stuck in it. Therefore, if we must be safe even while balling then we must avoid chasing our lost else we learn the hard way.

[giammangiato]

Lately a co-worker of mine discovered that her now ex-husband was playing secretly and without her knowledge squandered a lot of money on bets, to the point of no longer even being able to pay for gas to go to work.
Confidently she had never checked their account, until her desperate ex-husband said we can't buy the little girl even a slice of meat.
She is suspicious (why are we broke even though we work?) opened the account and noticed money movements out of reach, one of the first payments was 300 euros, all subsequent ones were over 800 euros for a fee.
When he asked for explanations before leaving him, the answer was I was trying to make up for what I lost, here guys this happens, it hurts a lot to play senselessly!
She left him immediately, was left penniless and moved back in with his mother, what does this story teach us?

[terrific]

You are lucky if you can really keep up with your set limit, because that means, you are disciplined enough to commit with your promise to yourself. Not many gamblers can really abide by their boundaries and be consistent about it.

That is a normal day that a gambler will go beyond with their budget and they're not going to follow what limit they have set.
The discipline starts with that and when we're in the actual game, you're not triggered easily by the different outcome when it's not a win for us.
OP is right that it's a lie when you argue with yourself and you think that it's just one final deposit and everything will get better.
It's a true lie that you'll have to justify yourself because you can't accept defeat and you can't move on right away.

Many gamblers fail to practice this, but it’s essential for all gamblers who are interested in safe gambling.

Sure, many factors lead to gambling misconduct, but if a gambler is able to prioritize discipline over their emotions, then certainly majority of their problems in gambling are completely solved, so it all still come down to having discipline as a gambler.

[davis196]

From my personal experience I have realized that the more I gamble in a certain time frame the more I lose. This is why I try to limit the time in which I gamble on a daily basis to not more than than 2 hours a day. I also try to limit the money I deposit in my casino/sportsbook account.
I totally understand the mindset behind "chasing losses" and the whole mentality behind the "I've lost now, but I will win if I place a bet one more time". We shouldn't treat gambling as a side hustle and we shouldn't have that "grinding mentality", when we spend money at the casino/sportsbook.

Many players, as you say, should understand that the game is a game and not a job or a pension from which to draw money.
Once you understand this, everything else is simply downhill, since you will theoretically play only because you like it and how much you can afford to lose.
