With addiction as a side effect of gambling, I do wish to know what exactly the success rate of your gambling is. How many times have you not found yourself facing simply losses and that you still pin hope on success?
Gambling allows you to think that you will win every time in spite of the losses that you incur. You feel that success is just missed by a margin as thin as a hair. Every time you lose, you do feel that success was almost there and you could have had it almost certainly. And since it was almost a success story just missed by a very thin margin, you do not mind going in for another try only to miss again by a thinner margin! One success and you are happy. But does it stop? No. You feel that your efforts have now borne fruit and here onward you will surely win every time you take a shot in that game. But what happens? You lose again by a margin thinner than the previous time.
In this way we are lured every time for that success almost at hand, which we saw but could not get hold of. And we try time and again because it is so near. The truth is that you will find you end up losing everything in the hope of laying your hands on that success. Only the extremely self-controlled man will stop himself from further gambling the moment he tastes success.
True, many times one success can compensate for all the losses incurred. But what we miss is that that success itself is extremely rare. It is not a bad thing to have hope. But hope serves when we work hard towards success not otherwise.
I won enough money in gambling,but gambling is not for success or failure just enjoy the adrenaline while you are at the betting time which is more worth than our money.
I was surprised when one day a friend of mine told me it is not actually about the money, it is just the adrenaline rush when gambling that brings about the fun and then he went ahead to tell me that, even though it sounds odd, because he tries to fix his mind in the idea of winning, which is what brings the adrenaline rush anyway, but at the same time, at the back of his mind, he is still able to control himself, realizing it is just a game and the chances of losing is always more, as well as the chances of getting addicted, so in a way, he is able to combine the two mentality together to enjoy his game.
My point is that success in gambling is dependent on your approach to it, as long as you find what you are looking for and hoping it is not the wrong thing you are looking for, you may find success in your own way.
