Topic: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? (Read 999 times)

Never chase losses, call a budget and stick to it.  If you use the budget up, return another day with a new attitude towards the game you are far more likely to win then chasing while hurting over your prior games.  You are owed nothing for prior losses, its bad attitude imo

It's easy to say it out loud but it's very difficult to practicalize it. It's not as easy as you say it, to actually quit when you are gambling and you have experience a big loss is very hard. Your losses can really get to you and emotions during that period can frustrate you if you continue playing because all what will be in your mind is to get back your actual money used in playing the game not even the extra profits again. Gambling is fun but really disruptive when you always go for your losses so take the game as a win or loss situation, any of this two options that played out for when gambling should be embraced with good faith.

They still dream of getting money from gambling, which keeps them gambling.
Had they realized it would not make them rich, they would have given up gambling and looked for other ways to make money.
And if they can't stop after losing and keep playing and depositing more money, they will still lose even though they can win.
And it's better never to try to chase losses because it will only make you lose more money.

Most people forget if gambling is just for fun and make money is just a bonus, that's why people fall become an addict and trying hard to recover all of their losses. People are stupid for believing gambling streamers can make easy profit through gambling, since gambling is just need to spins and nothing else, it make they think gambling is really easy to make money. I'm not surprised because nowadays people are really lazy.

That simply mean one thing, there is no actual closure that's going to happen, because chasing all your losses in gambling is close to impossible to achieve. Not unless if you have calculated all your accumulated losses and then put a single bet for the total amount that you lose  since day 1. Nobody would do that btw, as the risk are a hundred folds than betting at your normal range.
So, when someone wants closure, it's not necessary to chase those losses.

Gambling is not for people with pride, because it is not possible to not lose in gambling at all, and if that hurts their ego and they take an oath that they won't stop until they win back every penny, that will be the point from where their life will probably start getting imbalanced, and eventually, they will ruin themselves just because of their pride and ego.

there are few people who accept defeats and losses, for example when a person is very proud and hates to lose and that person goes to a casino to play poker, that person starts to lose, that person will hardly stop playing because he feels that he is being humiliated , they are destroying his pride, and he still believes that in the next game he can reverse all defeats, the game is not just about the money he lost, for that person to win will mean returning his pride, the only way to make it stop to play will be when he runs out of money and they remove him from the table, but even when that person leaves the table, he will continue thinking about defeat and with that thought tormenting him

Yes! Inside physical casinos there are many factors that will drive you to keep playing the game, even you are already in the winning side the atmosphere will keep you to keep rolling and to keep chasing for more luck, on then you realized once losing streaks will hit you back and you will find yourself empty-handed!

Same with you. Online casinos have a lesser chance of pushing you unless you are already addicted and the word limitation is no longer effective. Chances are that you will also burn all your savings by keeping depositing and losing with the game you play.

I really need a clarification on this. Is chasing looses in gambling same as looking for closure because i recently read an article on reddit where the poster said that he will gamble untill he wins just to look for closure. I have been thinking about this for sometime now because closure has the same characteristics with chasing looses which is even when the gambler is loosing he will still be gambling just to recover all his looses.

this person will sell things or borrow money to play again, he will play again because he believes that when he wins he will be able to get his pride back, some people act like that while other people want to get high profits fast, that's why every day is playing, whenever they lose they believe they need to continue playing because the next day they will win a lot, the damage that gambling has created in some people's lives is something very serious and worrying about addiction to gambling, it destroys the whole family . I see in my country many people playing without a controller, I have no doubt that I am dealing with gambling addicts

Chasing our losses isn't a key to recovery and this is the common mistake of most gamblers. It is actually the reason why many gamblers are losing their funds to the extent that they are even losing their assets. Accepting losses and knowing when to stop is the proper closure that we need. We can't always win against the house if that is our goal. Gambling results still rely on luck so we should not see it as a shortcut to getting rich.

Let's be honest. It's hard to ignore the wins and winning a profit is the main reason on why we play gambling. Now that we are aware of it, the only thing that we can do is to set a limitation on our playtime or on the capital that we are using. Maybe there are truly gamblers who only gambles for fun but I bet the percentage of them are only a few.

I still like to congratulate them because having such kind of mindset is now getting rarer these days. Gambling is a business so yeah, the casino always make sure to have the advantage but we can adjust the odds in a much realistic level in order to have more chances of winning. There is also skill based games. If we are skillful enough, we will have a higher chance to win on them.
