First time winning is indeed a trap. Once a friend introduced me to a gambling site that pays. At first I was reluctant to try it out but after some time I decided to give it a trial. During the first round of the game, I won
, what a motivation to put in more effort! I tried my luck again the second time, I lost. The loss didn't stop me from playing further, infact I became even more serious and I lost them all. I believed if I could win during the first round, then it is possible for me to win again but a second, third and even fourth winning never seemed to show up again, instead I kept losing money, I was trapped! It got to a point I had to call myself to order for I have lost more than enough.
A win is a big driving force, especially when it occurs during your first time of gambling or during the first round. It will trigger you to do more , more and more until you have nothing to gamble with anymore. No matter the outcome of your gamble, always stick to your budget or decision (If you had one before setting out to gamble), it will save you money and stress.
the possibility of gambling companies doing that is because the trick is like that, giving the winnings at the beginning so that they are happy, and the rest of the choice is theirs, like you said. the purpose of gambling companies is of course to reap the benefits of many people so they give the winnings at the beginning to convince people who gamble to continue gambling and this is proven by yourself. This is what gambling companies want where they will make a gambler to continue gambling because they will benefit from gamblers who are addicted to gambling, and when the gambler has got his first win then most likely they will gamble on wards because they are sure of the winnings they can get back. gambling companies have certainly prepared everything including marketing and strategies to attract the attention of many people, because of course gambling companies will always benefit by arranging everything in such a way, and also as the host they will always win, the initial victory is only an attractant for gamblers that can make them get stuck in the gambling cycle and spend their money on gambling and this results in profits for gambling companies which is their goal, getting people addicted to gambling to spend their money on gambling.
But keep in mind also, gambling companies that are everywhere do not force people to become addicted, but what makes them addicted to gambling is themselves. with their own choices that make them trapped in gambling and with the losses that are always obtained it is not because of the gambling company, but their own mistakes that cannot resist themselves with the temptation of gambling. It's true that winning is an incentive for people to gamble more often, the more often they deposit their money in gambling, the more profitable it is for gambling companies. if they can restrain themselves maybe they won't get caught up in the gambling cycle, the first win should not be made a benchmark, especially with that win we put great hopes on gambling that will hurt them financially in the long run.
