Maybe most people will still find it difficult to avoid this habit and gambling is like nicotine which always makes users addicted. It will be very difficult to tell a gambler when it has gotten so bad and they will keep doing it until they win. The money spent was certainly not small and fortunately I am not the type of person who always gambles. I will gamble when I want to and if I lose I will stop right away.
What you say is true, someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to get out of it, it is even very difficult to anticipate or prevent it because he is already comfortable with this behavior.
If you are not that type, how lucky you are, because you can still maintain good control when gambling and when to gamble. Because only a handful of people are able to do it, perhaps most people are interested in winning at gambling so they will play until they win. even though here there are many more people who have lost compared to their wins.
Gamblers who find it difficult to stop gambling when they've accumulated a huge amount of money in losses, may not enjoy their everyday gambling. Compared to players who play every day and are able to stop when things begin to go wrong and the losses increasing. Gambling every day is a choice and not all gamblers know the ways of dealing with it. They are gamblers who play each day hoping to increase their chances of winning, but it's quite wrong a method for a gambler to think playing consistently helps in winning. Fine, if the wins begin to creep in, will the gambler be able to stop immediately, if he's not able to take break in gambling. When a person wagers money all the time, it gets used to him, that he'll easily wager his wins when one appears to him.
Game excitement can be overwhelming. I remind myself that the house always wins. Not just the money - the chase, the exhilaration. Still, the ability to stop while ahead - or limit losses - distinguishes the casual, enjoyable gambler from those who have lost interest.
Daily gambling has caught my attention in several ways. A habit, but also a desire to win and feel good. You may be missing the purpose if you play every day to beat the odds. The experience, not the result, should define gambling. The fun is what matters, not the outcome, like any other type of entertainment.
If you're having fun gambling, you can quit regardless of the outcome. Set and enforce boundaries. I say, "Enjoy the game, but don't let it play you." Its mental. Understanding that tomorrow is another day and there are other games to play helps maintain the thrill without overtaking your life.
