Right, Emotion kill a man slowly, It's work like slow poison. Emotions are very bad things. when people become emotional they lose control over themselves and then they don't know the difference between right and wrong. they keep gambling as their main objective and think that there is nothing better in their life than gambling. so emotions have to be kept under control first and if emotions are under control everything else can be controlled

The issue of chasing loses is sometime that comes due to emotions especially when you might have lost money on several occasions.
Chasing of loses usually leads to incurring more losses, Though on a normal case everyone would want to recover a lost game and it really not an easy stuff to just let go because we are talking about money here, it's natural that no one would want to let their money just go, this is where discipline and self control comes into play in gambling.

We can be in good working shape, the moment we bare good fruits towards our work, we aimed for the best and results motivates everyone of us. Addiction is the origination of gambling, gambling addicts are willing to place adamant ears to advices that would help them in the end. They're always claiming rights all the time and having this type of confidence that doesn't suit in the case. Gamblers happens to be one of the stubborn set of people on planet earth. They're ready to push for anything as long it has their interest at heart and not some random circumstances.

It's always a bad idea to chase loses because that is the most likely hold that will end you in more loses, this worst point this action of chasing your loses can land you is in addictions since you will be put under an undue conditions to chase that directions, gambling should be based on the fun and not anticipated winning of any kind that will put you under any pressure to deliver a specific result that makes you satisfied like recovering your previous loses or being put in a recovery position.


Sometimes it better not to gamble at all even if you are at lost it better to have a break in between instead of gambling because you want to recover or even chasing to much winning.

True. If the gamblers ignore the advice, it will end up with nothing. In my neighborhood, I saw some egoistic gamblers. When we are trying to give them advices, they said they know well about their condition. They don't need any help because they assume they understand more about gambling. For these type of gamblers, we can't do anything.

Yes, many gamblers can't control themselves when they are experiencing losses. They won't stop playing gambling until they can recover the losses or they have spend all their money. Sure, most of this type of gamblers are addicts, they are the people who have weak mentality and can't think realistically.

There are many gamblers that are not ready to take advise that would not have immediately effect on there gambling lifestyle. People wants to start seeing results immediately and we need to be wise and know what we are doing to help us increase our ability to gamble and make profits. Not every gambling is going to give us profits but we just have to keep doing what we am have to do to keep making money in the betting. If we give advise and the victim or people are not ready to take that, we don't have to be angry but rather see it as normal because till today there are people that don't take advise and that would not make us to fell angry trying to do things on our own.

You've really hit the nail on the head when you say that getting help is crucial for anyone battling a gambling addiction. Although acknowledging that you have a problem can be very difficult because not every gambler would acknowledge the fact that they are suffering from gambling addiction. most of them believe it is just them going about with their daily business and taking the necessary risks that they need to take in order to make money or maximize profit, simply because they always have this mentality that no risk, no reward and one needs to take risks to get rewarded. so its very difficult for them to admit that they have an addiction, let alone accepting help from anyone, but they fail to realize that doing so is the first step in healing. Furthermore, as you mentioned, having the assistance of loved ones, friends, and experts can significantly impact the healing process.

It's true because in the end when you are too focused on the pursuit of defeat received in gambling, it will make yourself forget the rules that we always hold where we can control ourselves for gambling because indirectly when we are busy in the pursuit of gambling, that's where a new ambition arises that indeed forgets everything other than victory and it will create new problems where we will actually be faced with a situation where we actually increase losses instead of chasing losses.

It is not really advisable but in some situations things like this happen even maybe everyone can feel it because of the strong ego drive that we sometimes cannot control ourselves properly even though we can always do before but because of great ambition it becomes reversed for ourselves.

True, they should really reconsider their intentions and goals by thinking rationally and looking at gambling from various sides especially from the risk of possible losses that can never be tolerated, but it is a fact that most gamblers will not think in this direction, it is unlikely that they will consider first before finally making a decision. One of the reasons is because they have a hard time accepting the fact of losing or losing money in the previous session until in the end all they can think of is "I'm flowing back something I lost".

Yes, it is true that they are typical gamblers who come with the intention and purpose of seeking victory that they are even willing or dare to do everything possible even if it endangers themselves, it's all for the sake of victory that they think is easy to get, and obviously in the end they will definitely be trapped in the cycle of digging holes cover holes which means they pursue victory to restore something that has been lost.

It is a fact that they are gamblers who do not have a proper understanding of gambling and how winning actually works is nothing more than a chance and not a certainty, so it is only natural that losing always happens because winning is a result that can never be known no matter how skilled you are. As you said, in the end there is nothing better than gambling moderately by risking something we can afford to lose, betting small amounts and having the ability to accept defeat is a healthy approach to gambling.

People would really be just that only stop on the time that they would be experiencing those hardship or on the time that they cant literally be able to play since they dont have the money that they could be able to do so.

Chasing up loses would really be suicide because you would really be spending your money as much as you can be able to do so until you would be busting it up all.This is one of the main reasons
on why gambling industry is really that profitable due into this kind of behavior of gamblers whose really that not mindful about on the actions that they are making on which they would really be
that trying out to chase up those loses as long they do have the balance on which it is really just that a very wrong approach to have on this one.

Gamble for fun and entertain yourself and not really just that trying out to make yourself that chasing with those loses and thinking that
you could possibly do it.

A gambler who is trying to win back his past losses should first consider why he changed his goals. After all, initially such a gambler most likely came to the casino to win. Having lost money he wants to return it. Only he does not realize that now it is now the money of the casino with which it clearly does not want to part with. Therefore, play only on the money that you are not sorry to lose, and better yet, immediately say goodbye to the money that you funded your casino account. So it is easier to accept their loss, and after all, losing is an integral part of gambling.

Very true,  an addicted person will not listen as he's thinking that he still in control,  he will keep denying his addiction even its already wide open to everyone that surround him,  but I agree that a good advise can be use as guidance if a person who provides the advise have an authority it might have a good impact and a possibility that will followed by the person who needed it the most.

Most of the time,  a gambler who keeps chasing their losses turned himself as am addicted gambler,  someone who needs help and a good guidance to quit away from this situation.

If indeed they are addicted to gambling, in my opinion it means that they cannot control themselves until they become addicted like that. and by becoming addicted it also means that their thinking has been greatly influenced by gambling, they will only think about gambling, it is unlikely that they will think about the losses or the risks. and those who only think about winning are wrong because that way what will happen is big losses such as gambling continuously without thinking about the negative impacts.
When they experience a loss, many of them take action to gamble again at the same time, because they may be annoyed with gambling that does not result in a win, so they take actions that they should not, such as chasing losses. As time goes on like this, what will happen is that you will lose more money, even though in gambling there is a chance to win, but we shouldn't have high hopes for gambling. that's not the right thing to do.

This will be successful if the person receiving the advice is able to carry out the advice well. Unfortunately, many gamblers have bigger egos than receiving good advice to apply. Even though the people around him have warned him not to chase losses, when he loses again, he will start to continue playing with the same method even though he has to lose more money. Gamblers who are addicted and cannot think by continuing to chase losses will only be able to control themselves when they are in a bad condition.

You could say that the challenge from the beginning of a gambler's journey is that because he is already addicted, he will most likely not be able to control himself well as you said before and I agree with that. With an addiction that has penetrated his common sense, his mind will change 180° from before, namely when he is not optimally willing to bet by spending a lot of money, he may be more aggressive in playing brutally because of the large addiction factor.
Very good advice to warn addicted gamblers to open up to other people to get good advice so that the gambler does not experience fatal losses in his life in the future.

Chasing the loss can cause you getting more losses so you don't have to try it instead just playing gambling for fun only. With playing gambling for fun, you will not thinks about trying to winning and always limits your money to be used to playing gambling. Many people already loses their money but only few people who realizes that they don't have to recover their loss because they thinks that if they still trying to chase their losses, that can attract them to lose more money. Many people are not ready seeing more losses but they still trying to continue playing gambling. If they can knows how to treats gambling properly, they will not trying to spends much money and their time to playing gambling longer. They will trying to apply limitations every time they are playing gambling because they will not wants to gets more losses.

I completely agree with you on this mate. Everyone actually do have their own unique perspective about certain issues, and what may be true to one person or race may actually turn out to be false to the next. But there are certain matters that only have one approach and one end result, regardless of what diverse viewpoint different people may possess about the issue. When it comes to gambling and loss chasing, there's only one road it'll lead its victims to, and that's the road that leads to more loss. There's no two ways about it. So while some people for one reason or the other may see nothing wrong with chasing losses or wins, it doesn't change the fact that the result will always be disastrous.

Yes such ideas and mindsets that make them in the end continue to repeat the same mistakes, all based on a high level of expectation of winning so that they always think about "opportunity" which ultimately leads to the act of trying for the umpteenth time, when on the other hand as you said they still make mistakes even though they have seen a lot of evidence that can be used as examples and lessons that chasing losses to achieve recovery or applying greed always leads to much worse results.

This is the danger when you or anyone comes and gets involved based on a wrong understanding of gambling because you will almost always be in a zone or action that will harm yourself and that triggers a lot of bad effects to happen, but these are the addicts whose initial mistake is that they are unable to see the various sides of gambling from the beginning of involvement which ultimately makes them spin in the area of a steep cliff, I'm not saying that you will not recover but maybe time will tell.

I'm not completely sure I can avoid the system rules, or outwit the rules set by the host. because it is true that what you said is that the host is a big and thick wall, very difficult to penetrate, therefore I think that to avoid the obvious factor of defeat which is bound to happen, this possibility will not be possible. We hope that we can accept defeat well, realizing that defeat will be more dominant than winning, we must remember this so that there is no revenge when the gambling we do ends in defeat. because if we cannot accept the reality of losing then what will happen is revenge which will encourage us to gamble again with the motive of wanting to recover losses or chase losses, but what is clear is that this is certainly not recommended.

I agree with that, in gambling you will lose more often or happen more often. Many people who have been lulled by advertisements can get big wins at gambling so that many gamblers continue to gamble even though their gambling always ends in defeat, there are also people who think there is a big win that will happen behind all the many losses that have occurred. Thoughts like this certainly need to be addressed, rather than investing ever-increasing amounts of money in gambling where the results are not clear, it is better to make an investment, but even to make an investment we must be able to pay attention to various things to avoid losses.

A deep addiction to gambling prevents people from thinking that if they gamble excessively and rush to recover gambling losses, they will lose more and become financially vulnerable. So the level of gambling should not be such that it distracts you from your normal thoughts. and always excited about gambling. Only then it is possible to save from the bad addiction of gambling and the big loss of gambling, otherwise it is sure that Hughes will suffer from gambling addiction.  It is foolish to dwell on the past.  Attempting to recover past losses in the present will also shape the present badly
