I don't see this to have any serious effect on player knowing too well that is gambling and to me, it is advisable after you make your first win leave the gambling site or the casino house otherwise you could be tempted to swipe away all the winning. As a gambler you need to gamble responsibly and do not allow greed to run over you otherwise after first winning you could be tempted to try luck at this point it has resulted from chasing loses.
Though you are right that someone should leave right after they get a win when gambling, what happens most of the time is that by the time you get your first win, you have probably already lost a significant amount and your win didn't really cover all of it and your net total is still in a loss, and most gamblers don't want to leave until that is the case.

That is the reason why people gamble more even after winning some amount only in the hope that they might get another win and if they don't get much profit, at least the lost money from their bankroll should be recovered which barely happens.

As a gambler you need to gamble responsibly and do not allow greed to run over you otherwise after first winning you could be tempted to try luck at this point it has resulted from chasing loses.
The best bet for a gambler is to quit after first or second win however due to greediness and some enticement by those people offering the service with more offer of winning streaks, a lot of them do stake or place more bets even after their first two losses and when they are at break-even they still continue to gamble untill they are completely rekted while chasing their losses that was what happened to person the OP mentioned, however if the total amount used in betting is the total amount the gambler can afford to lose well that isn't a problem but gambling with every available money is very dangerous.

Do you know that whatever that makes you win at the first place do not ever try to place any bet again, I know because I am talking from experience. If you mistakenly bet the second time and you lose going back would be very hard for a gambler, reason being that you might be trying to recover the second lost while endangering and exposing yourself to more lost so, as learned gambler who gambles responsibly immediately the first win quite whatever you had in mind and go home with whatever you have gotten from the first winning.
When we're going for the second time with the thought of recovering what we've lost, then it is all about getting into the trap and losing more. One in a dozen might get lucky to recover what he had lost. In all means ones mind should be about gambling for fun or to get entertained. Don't go beyond the allocated fund as you've lost the fund earlier.
There are many gamblers among us who can't tolerate their losses. Losing money creates such an intention in them that he needs to get his money back on the same day. He continues betting until he can recover the money. This is where most gamblers make the mistake. A gambler must exercise self-control when faced with such a situation. However, it is very difficult to control at that time. As long as the gambler has money in hand, there will be no problem in gambling. But when all the money is lost he may regret several things. Again, many are busy looking for money. If you want to enjoy gambling, then one should first control once self.

   -   That is often the problem of the majority of gamblers, greed is what drives them to lose what should have been, we are already missing something. Also, I don't think gambling should be played every day.

Maybe 2 or 3 times a week is fine and it should also be a small budget, and once you run out of extra money, stop, it's that simple, don't hang out on the platform because if you stay, you will chances are high that you will lose again.

That is truth, i have experience that a number of time, when i place the first bet, i always win and the urge to win more will push me into making more bets and at the end I will end up in losing the entire amount I have won in the previous bet.

So the fact is to always be vigilant to take a break whenever luck smiles at us if not you may lose everything in chasing after it. more winnings, and also we must master to practice limit control on our gambling behaviour in the sense that, whatever direction the betting head to we should always practice stop time so as not to get too involved in chasing any direction.

At the same time, blockchain makes casinos and other gambling games even more honest. We can see the open source code, and thanks to this we can conclude that the game is built honestly. And this is a great breakthrough! Because who wants to play gambling games in which the chances of winning are unknown?
There is practically no chance to win on such sites and withdraw that winnings, I have dealt with similar services on Russian domains.
Even though we know the chance of winning in gambling is shown because it's open source and yet we won't know if we will win or not. It's only a practice that we do in order for us to know that the game is built honestly since we don't want to spend our money with a platform we don't have a knowledge with. In my own point of view, I'd rather play in a platform I am familiar with rather than playing in another platform that I do not know of. It's just like swimming in an unknown body of water.

I also like to use the services of only those gambling sites that I already know well. From where I have already successfully withdrawn money, and received good winnings. There is no point in learning a new platform every time if there is a proven and, importantly, licensed one. This is an indicator that the chances of winning on this gambling platform are fair and comply with the legislation of the country.

It is typical for a player to use the casino he already tried and assessed again and again since he had already tried and proven that the casino will not run away his funds.  But trying a newly established casino is not bad IMO.  As long as they have license we can try them with a small amount of initial bankroll.  It also enhances our user experience and we can compare the difference in experience using the old casino and the newly established one.

This is true, and primarily because new gambling sites often try to attract new users with bonuses:
- bonuses for the first deposit replenishment
- bonuses in the form of free spins so that new users can evaluate the games. For example, I like when games have a good design, and not as if it was created by yesterday's student. I immediately lose confidence in such sites, the feeling if the game is drawn poorly, then the gambling site and the attitude towards the user will not be serious.
- contests and the like

What he says is very true, because a casino player who knows what he is getting into should keep in mind that when he enters a casino, the most probable thing is not to win but to lose, why? because casinos always have the house advantage and that is something that will always happen at any time, wherever a casino goes, it always has that way of protecting itself and being able to have its winnings, the rest is something that can be taken as a way to spend money on fun and it's totally acceptable , Everyone who plays knows that they are going to have fun First.

You're both right. Someone chooses to play gambling and should already know the risks in playing gambling so he must have a moral responsibility and not use a lot of money to gamble. But unfortunately, this is not the case because there are also many people who, in the end, become too engrossed in gambling and cannot control themselves. Many of them even become addicted to gambling. We can't beat the casinos that have their business but we can only have fun with some money so we have to know the limits in playing gambling. In many cases, gamblers lose money more often than they win and it is not a good choice to keep gambling.

You should have that inside you to avoid trying to beat the house, should be more on enjoyment or something can give you control with how you deal with your gambling, participating in this kind of industry always accompany by risk, if you don't know how to control or if you think that you will not be able to control yourself, much better not to deal with gambling.

Taking into the account gambling responsibility is under the person/gambler itself. Having the right set of idea will allow you
not to engage but just to have some fun, then quit your way out whatever the outcome after playing.

Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.

Saying that gambling is a choice sounds like a BS excuse to me. Doing drugs is also "a choice". Becoming an alcoholic is "a choice" as well.
Ruining your life is a choice. Sometimes the people lose control over their behavior and their choice suddenly becomes an addiction.
Being addicted is not a choice, it's an illness that has to be cured. The life story you are describing seems like a scam to me.

Right, I agree with what you said. that in life, we will always be faced with choices. whether it's difficult or a more challenging choice. everything, back to ourselves. So, overall I agree with what you said.

Speaking of addicts, addiction is not a choice regardless of the type of addiction. but what happens is, someone allows himself to get carried away with excessive pleasure so that it ends in addiction. Gambling is fun entertainment in today's highly sophisticated technological era. starting from traditional gambling, developing into land gambling and reaching where we can access gambling via the internet. but basically everything is the same, that gambling contains risks in it. and a gambler, must be aware of it. Gambling is not an option, but we can make it a fun entertainment activity. without having to become an addict, let alone harm the people around us.
Very well said friend, really a well detailed and structured comment..
Gambling addiction is a not an emotion we choose, it's mostly the result or should I call it consequences of our actions, gambling should be mostly seen as a fun activity, but it's rather unfortunate that most gamblers, even after knowing this, tend to forget easily, and before they know it, they are already carried away by the eager to make money, which is where the whole program starts..
I hope we all learn and always have the consciousness that gambling is a way to have fun, rather than a way to make money.

 If we don't like the results we are getting, we can better still work on how we make our bets so that we don't end up losing big from what we are doing. Gambling is a choice we need to know and accept any of the results we are seeing. Those we keep making consistent winnings have paid the prize and still paying so we don't need to see it as a shortcut we can take to get the kind of results we are looking for.

Think gambling is a choice isn't enough reason not to tap someone you think is over betting to watch their spending  as some persons gamble  after some emotional trauma which makes the most in most cases..but  gambling  is a choice lrovide you're of age, I was thinking  maybe greed didn't let the woman leave and she began  chasing her loses and ended up on in a shit hole.
But  she shouldn't be  blaming anyone because she .ust have thought  of things to do with the money but she never thought of the reverse being the case.

I agree, as a friend, we have the obligation to remind them if they are to hook on gambling but we should not make a scenario where we need to argue with them and exchange words because, it is the right of the person to choose and do what he wants.  It isn't our part to decide for them.  So if they tend to not listen, we can still persist but in a friendly tone that he is doing his gambling activity in a wrong way and may harm him in the future.  If the guy still doesn't listen don't give up on reminding him in a friendly tone from time to time.

It's better that way rather than risking your money in a casino that is new or you don't know about. This is the same as giving your money to someone else to keep it safe even if you don't know that the person won't steal it and keep it safe. Unless, you are not a responsible gambler and the only thing you think is just to gamble and that kind of person will most likely lose money to a scam casino and only lose the money won from the casino if the casino is not a scam one.

Definitely you should only gamble, when you want, these type of rogues just trick the common people to fall in their traps and games which is not even fair and take all the money from them. But this can’t be happen online, as people are now a days very smart, and before depositing any amount of site in any casino, then do a complete background check on the reputation and then only they deposit. They also check that whether the games are fair or not, hence in online space the chances of getting scammed like this in the name of gambling is very less.

There's freedom in gambling which means you can choose or decide on anything for yourself in gambling, just as no one can force you to gamble or stops you, if you think you want to choose a casino wallet which is centralized as your own bank for storage of your cryptocurrencies that's fine, but always know the risk associated with using online wallets and it danger, if the site is down, your money is down as well, only make a deposit of the amount you can afford to loose while gambling.
In fact, even though we know that our chance of losing is high yet, we still bet and play games. This means that it was obviously our choice and thinking about blaming ourselves (or others) makes no sense at all as we decide it at first. But why do we choose this? Because it was our pleasure and we think that it satisfies our wants and even if we lose many times, we even forget those things as we are happy to gamble. I'd say that gambling for me is not all about winning or losing but I made this because I want to and no regret to whatever happens with my money.
That's true.
We just love the thrill that gambling games give. It's not like we are forced to do it but we keep on coming because we want to feel that excitement again. I personally love sports gambling because it makes the game so much better while watching it live. It doesn't matter to me if my bet is just $5-10 because it adds fuel to the thrill of the game.
Now, whenever I watch a game where I forgot to input my bet a day before, it's not really that much fun anymore unless you are a big fan of the team you are rooting for.
So that's it, it's a choice for me and the gambling sites only helped to gain easy access to gambling instead of people looking for other person to bet against them if the sports bookies are not available near them.

My thoughts, is this how we often feel when we lose out on a bet??
Do you wish the site can refund your money??
It depends on the type of bet and situation because sometimes you can't help but become emotional when the stakes are high or if you're new to gambling.

It's best to avoid those thoughts while gambling, but some gamblers are that desperate as i've seen a few cases where they'd blame their loss on the casino and think they can get a refund by mentioning the rules or inconsistency in self-exclusion.

It's a natural reaction as a human to feel excitement or emotion when gambling. We are wired to be in survival, so when we see our money nearly going to zero, we just want to get it back.

I disagree, we cannot avoid that emotion. We can only embrace it. We embrace it by accepting that whatever we put in could either make or lose our money. That's the beauty of gambling, you have the choice what excitement you can chose, is it slot, is it poker? by that, you allow yourself to be more responsible of the risk you are taking.
