Topic: Does addicted gamblers only lose money all the time (Read 1285 times)

The point is that yes, as you said, gamblers who believe that winning and losing depend on how good the techniques or methods they have are those who have been blinded by money as the object of winning in gambling, I believe in that because I also have mistakes. one colleague who is a gambler in a type of slot game and often when he wins he says that the pattern or technique he created really works well, while when he loses he says the opposite, and of course the meaning and logic is that for example previously someone Gamblers managed to win in this way, then why do they lose in the next few sessions? Even though they used the same pattern or technique, this is what really doesn't make sense to me.

So in my mind and for me it is very simple that when I win it means I am lucky, there are no other thoughts besides that. Another thing I think is quite simple to respond about something that you don't understand about why many gamblers always do crazy things that they don't even know about why they do it, but it's quite simple to conclude that it seems to me that these actions are do it because there is high hope and confidence in winning, as we know, we will always need money at any time.

You raised a good topic for discussion but I think you're mistaken addiction and losing. Gambling addiction is not a direct proportional to losing, in fact, people with gambling addiction occasionally win huge amounts of money in gambling which deceive them more to continue gambling as they see it as a breakthrough. However, gambling addiction is not about winning or losing, it's all about the characteristics of compulsive and destruction that befall a gambler as the negative consequences.

The number one consequences in my opinion is the mental health issues ranging from depression, stress and anxiety that may probably lead to suicide if care is not taken. Your time meant for important things and loved ones will be used gambling and thereby affecting your relationship with people. If addiction is all about winning or losing, nobody will show concern or raise alarm over addiction, after all, gambling is about losing and winning but the consequences of gambling addiction overwhelm the short term benefits (winning money). This is why it has become imperative for us to speak against addiction.

Cant speak for everyone, but if I win a million, I would still place tiny bets. Why? Because I dont want to lose everything quickly (I dont want to lose in general, but I dont mind loosing). Because I will probably buy something or invest bigger part of that million. Moreover, I that this million wont change me. I will still work, I would still gambler with small bet. Million isnt much. I would buy a house, new car and spend rest on travelling.


What about people who go to gym regularly. Many times I have heard that they got used to gym so much, that when they havent visit it for few weeks, they got a strong wish to drop everything and go there. Isnt it an addiction? Is addicted to sport bad?

Of course, I understand that there is an algorithm installed in advance that determines the winning percentage, but the fact is that we understand such simple things when most players do not understand this, but sincerely believe that winnings and losses depend on other reasons that they have invented for themselves yourself. Some players even use various items that have brought them luck up to this point. But they can be understood, because blinded by money or in order to win, the player will believe literally anything.

Dependent players take money back, sometimes I don’t even understand why they do this, but they already have an emotional addiction, some of them don’t even know why they need this money and don’t know the answer to the question of when to stop the game, they just play without a break even if they win .

In addition to self-confidence, I would add that his own ego also plays against the player. Gambling is not a place where confidence in your victory will be rewarded, because faith and other feelings only get in the way and only increase losses. Modesty and extreme caution are what help me avoid losing huge amounts of money, unlike addicted gamblers.

I have once seen addicted players win large sums and even make big purchases, but they will end up selling everything to get back into the game, it's like an endless routine of day after day that is very difficult to get out of, but that doesn't mean it is It’s not possible, so you have to try no matter what.

No, we all win and lose that is how gambling works. Whether a person is addicted or not the same thing implies, there are times we may win and there are times that we may lose. Addiction only makes a gambler not quit gambling when he is supposed to and also it makes someone make wrong decision and develop bad gambling habits. For example- using money for important purposes for gambling, stealing or taking loans to gambling, going all in and so on.

I don't want to believe that there is anything like unlucky people in gambling. Luck is something that can happen to anyone and that is rare. Even if there are no accurate or sure predictions when one is gambling at least there are level of accuracy to what we choose to bet. No one is perfect but we all try. You can't see some someone that looses so uncertain and still choose to gamble more.

That would be ideal, imo, but is it happening in reality? Tiny bets after winning a million? I think that's not what an addicted gambler would be doing. Rather, he would be placing such bets that he would lose his million in a week or two.


Addiction is always something negative. Even addiction to coffee is bad for your health, addiction to food even. It's true that in some case addicted gambler is not losing a lot of money, but he's loosing his time, loses his sight if he's chained to the screen all the time. No, there's nothing positive in any addiction.

I think that you are wrong that addicted lose money more often. Loser and unlucky lose money more often than other gamblers. Addicted just gamble more frequently and do it more passionately. What, if I daily buy a lottery ticket and lose, instead of a snack on a gas station, this means I am addicted? Or does it means I just love to test my luck daily? Or I can hourly collect money from casino faucet and play. 0 own money lost. Will is still mean that addicted lose all the time?

I think most of the time they do yet yesterday a strange thing happened to me,while I have lost every single day(this makes me somewhat addicted as I have played everyday) I won big yesterday night in the game that made me experiences loses every day,I hit the x500 multiplier in level 3 of the bonus of Rabbit Garden equaling to x1500 of your bet at such level and won near 1000 dollars.

To make an analogy the addicted gamblers play with much higher bets than me and if they hit such multiplier or even higher they can win such a big amount that they can recover a lot.So almost always but not always.

Addicted gamblers don't always lose in gambling, sometimes they used to win their bets, but since they are addicted to gambling, they will use the same money they won to continue gambling until they lose everything without doing any meaningful things for themselves. Since they are addicted to gambling, they see it as a way of life and something they can't do without, and they will keep placing bets with huge amounts of money, believing they will win a jackpot that will change their lives.

It's all about greed, they just can't get enough of it no matter how much they win, every time they win something big, their mind starts telling them that if they could win this much, they can win more than this if they play more, and then they start gambling again only to lose what they have already won because you can't keep winning constantly in gambling, that is not how gambling works, if this was possible, every gambler would have been rich and all casinos would have gone bankrupt already.

So, you are right that they don't get to have much control over themselves or their emotions which is the reason why they barely can enjoy even if they manage to win a significant amount because they will only lose it all back and would never be able to use the funds for something useful in their lives.

Unfortunately, gambling is a place where self-confidence plays against every gambler.
If someone is confident in himself and counts only on himself, he will consider all losers who do not understand how to "correctly" gamble in a casino or place bets. But every person should have critical thinking, and admit the fact that he himself may be wrong. This is normal, we all learn and reflect, this is the quality of every strong healthy personality. As well as the ability to listen to other people.

The risk of losing or losing in gambling does not look at whoever they are, or what that means is that everyone involved in gambling of course they will certainly have the possibility of losing regardless of whether they are addicts or not, and for one of the reasons why the possibility of losing is much more common than winning is obviously because from the beginning the casino has set the algorithm behind the game where they make the percentage of winning much smaller than losing, meaning that most likely gamblers will lose more often than win.

But I would also say that in gambling whoever you are you still have the chance of winning and the possibility of losing, but maybe winning will be less frequent than losing, but often gambling addicts make the possibility of risk greater because they have an overly aggressive approach such as risking large amounts of money along with difficulty limiting the time of involvement so it is only natural that their losses are much greater than non-addicted gamblers, And for the problem of money won when they are lucky, usually the addicted gamblers continue their gambling sessions because of the greed that is difficult to ignore so that in the end the money is lost again, and this is very common for those who are addicted.

and those are those players who are already heavily addicted to gambling and don't want to listen to anything from other people about the losses they have experienced. Another aim of other people around them is to make the addict aware, but because they are already heavily addicted to gambling so they ignore things. That's because if they are already addicted, of course they will only focus on what they want to do and gambling is what they really want, even in the long term. if they become addicted, of course they will not be interested in other things because as I have said, they will only focus on their desire to gamble, and people who are seriously addicted are the ones who will most often experience losses in large or small bets.

In gambling, of course, being too confident is also not good, because it can lead us to gamble excessively. with those who gamble very confidently, it is very likely that they will not be able to stop gambling even though they have experienced defeat in the gambling they have done. and indeed we should be careful in making decisions and the actions we will take, as much as possible we should be able to do things that will not harm us further.

The fact of the matter is that addicted players, of course, lose money just like regular games without addiction, but the fact is that this simply happens more often than winnings, if you count it on large numbers of bets. If we take a small number of bets, then of course even addicted players will sometimes win, but this raises another question, what will they do with the winning money. If they don’t go and spend it on things or flowers or a gift for their beloved girl, then this money will go back into the gambling system and be wasted in the next bets in the game. Many players who write posts here and read the forum have already gone through this.

Does addicted gambler really means that he is loosing all the time? That person can be spending all his money and gambling all the time, winning and loosing. A person might place a small bet, win a million and gamble with it for years, placing tiny bets. That person can also be an addicted gambler, but that does not mean that he has lost a lot of money. I think many misunderstood meaning of addiction. Not always it means something negative. Like for example we drink coffee every day. We are coffee addicted, but that does not mean that we dont drink anything else.

Frequent losses are normal more than 60% more we lose than win, if you don't hear about losses even though the intention is for fun then it can enter into addiction because they continue to practice to win while we never know when we win from the capital spent.
Yes confidence in gambling is always there this is the principle of many gamblers, you say today will play and sure to win this can happen and can also miss your money runs out but I always remember about limits, I will not practice to wait for patience to win.

Players who don't want to hear anything about losses are the ones who most often lose large sums. They test their luck in practice, or rather in the game, they are not interested in the words of other players, they think that there is only him and the game, and also that he will definitely win and there simply cannot be another outcome. Self-confidence and self-belief is something for which they will pay dearly and even after that they may not come to any conclusions. I have always been cautious about many things, and gambling is no exception. This saved me because I immediately understood what it was like to lose and I had no self-confidence. There is a good expression - you need to be able to lose. If we fail to do this, then addiction will haunt us.

The addicted gamblers will lose everything before they will stop. In most cases, they won’t stop either and look for loans from family and friends to keep the urge of gambling going and playing unlimited gambling without caring, what they are losing. Even if the addicted gamblers win few of the games, this should not mean that they should continue with an addicted mindset. Gambling only rewards you if you have sense on how to control your emotions.


If an ordinary (responsible) gambler, loses in gambling, then it is not a much concern because we know that the gambler will lose some games but they managed portfolio well. They will not over gamble or revenge gamble and know the ricks associated with gambling already. However it is the addicted gambler who will make the mess of it.

Remember it is not about addicted gambler winning some games, it is about his overall reaction towards gambling and his mismanagement plus the lack of control over himself.

It's good to have good thoughts, such as considering gambling as a means of entertainment only, even though there is a chance or opportunity to get a reward, don't rely on it, meaning don't hope for it, because hoping for it will usually only make us bend. actions that are risky because they are not considered properly and will not think about the risks that will occur by carrying out actions that carry big risks. Even though there are many people who gamble to make money, I think there are some or some people who gamble just for fun by being able to keep their thoughts under control and not being reckless in their actions in gambling, even though there are more gamblers who are chasing losses. which actually makes them lose more money.
with gamblers who cannot accept defeat because the money they bet on is lost or with those who cannot control themselves, of course this is very vulnerable to doing, especially with people like that, they are gamblers who hope that they will definitely win even though in reality it is not like that. because winning at gambling may be based on luck alone, otherwise it only increases the chance of winning but does not change the luck factor.
