There is what we call a 'gambler's cycle', wherein whenever a gambler bets and he wins/losses, the result would most likely force him to gamble again. He would gamble again due to either a streak of luck or to the hope of ending his losing streak. Either way, the gambler continues to gamble despite the circumstances he faces.
That's true, it is hard to pause gambling when you are winning because you are thinking that you can win again and make your profit bigger, the same thing when a gambler is losing, it is really hard to pause gambling when you are losing because you want to get back the money that you have lost, that is why when we gamble we really need a good discipline, we should know how to control ourselves as well as our emotions.

Learn from that.

It's not always that you're lucky or if you've already felt the gut feel that there's no luck with you, you shouldn't pursue it anymore.

With those little losses that you've started and if it keeps on coming and adding to the former losses, it will form to a bigger amount which will push you to recover and make you lose control.
Yes, if you believe you're losing a lot of money and luck isn't on your side, you should probably STOP wasting money right now. Often I feel like I can keep going because I need to make up for all of my losses, but I end up losing all of my money, and that's when I know that if I've already lost a lot, I should stop gambling because it might eat up all of my money. You're losing control, and the temptation will continue to force you to play until you lose because you wanted to win or benefit from gambling, which is the incorrect viewpoint on this type of activity; it's just for entertainment. The pressure will continue to mount in order to force you to play until you lose.
True.

The feeling of not stopping will keep on pushing you if you can't control yourself anymore. But if you're having the right mind and you're aware of the losses that you made.

You won't add some more losses and you'll have a definite stop as soon as you recognize that it's no longer acceptable in your standing.

I do believe that whenever you are playing those kind of dice which is purely on fate because this game or gambling game doesn't need any strategies and techniques so dice is based only on fate when you will won or you will lose. Another thing is that the lack of control must be the one you need to establish because lacking of control in gambling will eventually brings you to several loses. Knows how to control yourself in order for you to won and avoid several loses. If you already know that this is a bad day to you, you can go out in the casino and try your luck the next day, there's no bad on resting the bad is that when you give up losing.

Many of us believe in fate because it offers us comfort and security. But asking if someone controls their fate is like asking if we can control what happens to us.
But gamblers do leave off their responsibility in the hand of fate so that they will feel no guilty of gambling. They simply need some reason for their gambling activities and for going again tomorrow regardless of how much they have lost today.

We are in control of the actions we take that lead to the reaction, and we control how we respond in that reaction.
That sounds like believing in to self control but we cannot expect that from gamblers. So, they will never prefer to change what will come back to them tomorrow. All they need is, some entertainment in gambling like there is no tomorrow.

I was in full control, but I lost $650 in thirteen rolls. If I'm not wrong, this is pure fate. Why I state it fate is due to the win I encountered. It all started with $5 worth of bitcoin,  roll over 50.50 and thirteen continuous fail of roll. To compensate the loss I kept doubling, and at some point I lost control taking the bet value to $160. Here it is the fate that I need to loss.

Have anyone encountered similar losses. I'm truly fed with this loss, because my girlfriend wholeheartedly gave to try my luck. What it shows is I'm an unlucky fellow, and I have hidden it from her. Because, she feels bad that we're unlucky.
Learn from that.

Self awareness control you in anyhow, it will prevent you from overspending both time
and money while you are engage to this activities.

It's very important to know  yourself and to limit everything, if you have wider knowledge about every possibilities,
your chance of succeeding is high and the chance of busting your money is much lesser.

Your action should always according to how you percept every outcome and not by following your emotions.
Or you could go the route of not gambling at all because of all, it is the most logical one because you don't lose money and you can use it for other things and you don't get the taste of gambling that might cause you to become addicted. It is difficult to be self-aware because there will be some truths that are probably some people aren't going to accept that truth about themselves.

Some used to pacify themselves with the term it is their fate to loss in gambling. Some say it is the lack of control that makes them loss big. Here I'm taking this into discussion relative to the game - Dice.

Same as this some used to mention winning as fate and some term the same as luck. I believe win out of dice is trick, and right exit strategy.

What is the truth in this regard, because users like me are always go lack of control even when luck is on our side. End of the day used to pacify thyself terming it as our fate and move on. Hope you guys don't do this mistake. Cry Cry

How I see it is there's a difference between gambling and trying to gain profit, Gambling is basically luck driven and I don't see a person always wins you can only see people who wins big but not always winning if a person wanted to earn they should always have a ceiling of profit and trying not to go further or if they're winning then they should cut the profit they wanted then continue if they want to.

Gambling in terms of getting a decent profit is somehow similar with trading, controlling is the key and having a designated income to acquire helps a lot. I never really had problems with controlling but I still lose somehow, most of the time if I win few times I cut my bankroll and if it went near I quit, I still want to gamble but I can control it, no need to scratch that itch.

When you gamble on dice, each roll has the same chance of hitting any number you are chasing. You could have 100 btc or .01btc and be chasing x9900 and your chances will always be the same. I used to think math played a part in my odds but have learned that it's all random luck.
Not only that the longer you play the worst the chances you make some profits, after all if you bet all your capital in a single bet and whether you won or lost you never gambled again during your lifetime you will have a decent chance of winning but the longer you play the chances you will make money over the long term are basically zero, this is why we must be honest with ourselves, anyone that wants to gamble in order to earn some money should avoid gambling as there is no way to beat the casinos over the long term.
Majority of gamblers would always come after with profits or making money and only a few would really be minding  about entertainment and even to myself would admit that even if you do have something in mind to enjoy the money in gambling but deep inside you are really aiming for profit making.

Dont blame out something just because you do lost but theres nothing you can blame but only to yourself and theres nothing to be blame out about fate because you are the ones
who are making it on your current actions.

Always be in control and you would be fine.

Well said, we have to take responsibility of our action, saying that it's our fate everytime we loss is an stupid excuse, with that as our mentality, we will never learn or will not enjoy gambling because all we experience are just mostly loses.

Understand the risk and reward is necessary as that is the basis of our action, if we think we have less chance, then we should not take it seriously, instead gamble for fun as we consider that gambling platform as a luck based gambling platform only.
Besides understanding the risk and reward, we also have to understand our true self, be aware of our behavior on certain things because self-awareness is helpful so you can further prevent yourself from spiraling out of control when you are gambling.

Self awareness control you in anyhow, it will prevent you from overspending both time
and money while you are engage to this activities.

Gambling is like trying your luck on what is unpredictable. Whether you win or lose that's what your fate gives you. Gambling shouldn't be taken as a do-or-die affair whereby you must win. You win some and lose some but the losing is quite more than the winnings.
It's quite extraordinary to be winning always in gambling. Gamble when you're supposed to but not hopping on it for your daily income
making people rich quickly is one of the attractions of people to play gambling, but the fact is that very few people are rich just by gambling because we can see now that gambling will only create poverty in my opinion besides being rich, someone playing gambling only a place to find joy and when he wins it seems to be one of pride for him and when he loses, he seems to be challenged to come back to play and try to win so that this is what makes people addicted to gambling and difficult to stop, even though gambling is not a thing good and of course a lot of bad effects that will happen to those who are addicted to in gambling.

I doubt that's the mentality of most gamblers, I believe most of the gamblers are responsible enough and have the basic knowledge that it's always impossible to get rich in gambling. Maybe they like to earn fast money as gambling can provide that if you are lucky, but they know they would not make it in the long run, unless a gambler himself is exceptional who can make a living in gambling, well, that's my dream though.

Not at all because there are indeed people who do still push themselves on playing gambling because this is the most easiest way on making profits in a short span of time without minding
about doing some hardwork or some sort.

They do love the most easiest way which is on gambling and this is the reason on why gambling business is profitable because majority of people who had been dealing with it doesn't
really have that good self control when it comes to finances.

Fate has nothing to do with this because you are the ones who had been making it basing into your actions.

With so many losses, I don't why people are still insisting that gambling is the easiest way to make profits, it is, unless you're lucky, but if not, it is the easiest way to lose your money. And for the gambling business, they are profitable because they know how to manipulate gambler's emotion, on how they could make them addicted on what they play.

Beating the house is the number 1 reason why gamblers get addicted on it, because if you can't beat it, you'll get annoyed because you've lost your money, you've deposited too many times but still nothing's changed.

I would say everyone who starts gambling has the idea that they are going to be
responsible but as circumstances change so too do the ideas, if you are on a winning
streak and have some luck the chances are you will keep gambling instead of taking
some profit.

Also when loosing the common reaction is to chase those losses and try to get them back
instead of either stopping or regulating or being responsible.

I agree with you, the human mind is very similar, we all face the same problems. That is why we need to keep checking our attitude and emotions towards gambling. In my opinion is best to have a friend or family member to discuss our gambling habits. If we have someone to confide in and share our success and failure stories it is much easier to keep our behaviour on check.
It cannot be denied that when it comes to gambling, emotional attitudes, ambition are always there and only self-control should be exercised and applied in gambling.
and that all must be overcome with self-control, try to play calmly and have the principle that you are responsible for what you play and must be disciplined, and under any circumstances should be calm and stay focused on the game so that you do not miss a lucky moment.
Self-control can (and should) be applied in any circumstances, from trading to gambling. It's not only the ability to maintain your emotions or even yourself from becoming addicted, but also the ability to control your profits/losses, your greed and even your limits. Self-control is knowing when it's the right time to stop, either for cutting your losses or claiming your earnings.

If you can think about win or loss and what will happens to you in gambling, maybe you will see that trying to win or chasing your losses will not a good idea because that will make you lose more money. And if you win many times, you must stop playing gambling because if you continue, you will see that your win money will not be with you but that money will be used for chasing more winning.
