I do think that gamblers who take gambling activities seriously have their motivation come from the amount they envision and hope to win, hence why they remain persistent in gambling instead of quitting after winning a little.
A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.
In essence the thought process a gambler focuses on during any gambling activities will determine if such a gambler would gamble much more or lesser than normal and also, if such a gambler would become successful at their gambling endeavors.
What are your thoughts?
Op, every gambler want to win despite that it is an established fact that losing is inevitable in gambling, when you bet a game I believe your potential win is always in your bet slip and that should be your expectation, the more you increase your stake, the more your potential winning increases, but having a particular amount in your mind as a gambler might lead you into trying everything possible to increase your stake and in so doing if you lose, you lose more money if it favours you, you win big, this happens sideways but the negative side is more than the positive side, but want you know that fun only exist in gambling when you win, gambling without winning does not have anything to do with fun, gambling involved money, how will you gamble with your money with the expectation of winning and we call it fun, it only becomes fun when you win or when you don't gamble at all.
Op your thought during any gambling session does not guarantee your winning, winning just come as a result of either luck or predictions as the case may be.
