Emotions may cloud judgment, causing irrational decisions like pursuing losses. This conduct, frequently driven by irritation and the mistaken hope of recovering losses, is dangerous. However, why do gamblers keep going despite the risks? Understanding gambling psychology is the answer. Not only walking or finding momentary distractions, but developing a safe gaming mindset is crucial. Set time and money limitations, understand the odds, and recognize compulsive gambling. Online gambling platforms should encourage healthy gambling and give self-regulation tools. Knowing the dangers and staying disciplined are key. Gambling should be fun, not a way to recoup.

It would be very fortunate if people could control themselves in gambling so that they could achieve happiness, namely not losing too much money there. as you experience when you are in a casino, even though you are attracted by the tricks you see, you still maintain good control and you have the right thoughts, namely gambling will only cause problems in your life when you lose.

It is true that when gambling, not everyone will experience the same luck as other people, because everyone will have different experiences when gambling, some will feel happy if they win and some will be sad if they lose. Therefore, it can be concluded that luck in gambling cannot be predicted and only a few people will be lucky and many will lose.

The gambler is the human being,So it’s easy for them to emotional at the loss in the gambling.The emotional decision will not be the better option in the gambling,the gamblers will surely do the additional deposits to recover the loss in the gambling.But the fact is not easy as you think,the bet which you made at the emotional game will not be the better one.The most of the gambler will not control the emotions after the loss in the gambling,because it was the nature of the human.Only if the gambler is multi-millionaire,he can control their emotions by the money independence behaviour of the rich person.

Emotions when allowed to take over a greater part of our thinking we some times end up having problems because at they point we lack good logic and rationality enough to think appropriately, so it's good to have some one around or better still take a walk when you are getting too emotional about your stakes or the outcome.

This remedy will help you calm down awhile and regain control over the situation and take rational decisions which may include stop playing at the moment to avoid further losses in the bid to recover that which has been lost because if you continue and it turns out you are so unlucky then definitely the pain will be greater than it was with your initial losses. In essence I'm saying chasing losses is an act of irresponsible gambling and should be avoided at all cost because the aftermath is always not pleasant enough.

I say this because of the experience in the past that I had when I entered the zone of the bad effects of gambling and I once told you in another thread about my experience and here I say this maybe it can give other people a chance to see whether they are starting to have early signs of addiction. then immediately improve your own situation so you dont get too deep into the addiction zone.

regarding expecting to win, just like when you play video games, you expect to win but dont expect excessive profits, even though you dont always win, of course you can control yourself not to always play video games and think about more important things. maybe you can apply this method to our gambling.

In my case I have never had any episode of gambling in an addictive way. Although I have some interest in the mechanisms of gambling, the act of gambling itself doesn't excite me as much as to get into trouble.

When I was a very little child, a friend of mine gave me as a present a lot of cards of which I had just a few and, a few days later, I played with two boys and lost almost all. It was a very bitter sensation and I recall it somehow when I gamble. I heard sometime that it is not necessarily good to be lucky the first time you play, because it can lead to look for this sensation over and over. In my case, it seems that it happened all the contrary.

It's normal for people to get emotional when they lose gambling because they feel like the casino has taken their money and they need to get it back. If they are unable to control their emotions, they will deposit more money to try to recover their losses. But that will not guarantee that they can actually get their money back because there is a possibility that they will experience even more losses. This is something that must be avoided rather than experience more losses, so it is better for us to stop gambling and rest first to lower our emotions immediately.

Curiosity is sometimes the biggest factor in someone becoming an addict, especially for gamblers who are still beginners and don't have much experience in gambling, they tend to always be curious about new things and want them to try.
And everything is also influenced by the mind, if gambler only thinks about gambling every day then they will have difficulty controlling themselves to be able to resist the urge to gamble which always appears all the time.
In fact, all of us including beginners, understand correctly what the risks and bad effects of gambling addiction are, but we forget that we cannot think about the risks when we start playing or betting.

Controlling emotions is very difficult, moreover, person emotions can be linked to attitudes or behavior. If someone is easily angry and cannot be more patient, then you can be sure that people like this when gambling are just greedy, don't accept defeat and are careless.
Most of the problems that occur for every gambler are losses that cannot be accepted.
There has been lot of advice regarding the limits and of responsible behavior, but not all gamblers can learn from every suggestion or advice.

I don't see a reason why a sensible and wise person will have an exception when it comes to casinos, irrespective of where you are and gambling it, try to have a plan and follow your plan. This entails the amount you want to gamble with and divide it in the best possible way that will not affect you and for you to have fun even if you lose the money, fun is part of it, let your money give you that entertainment. If one plans this way, there is no reason why emotion will set in not to talk of the person being addicted. Addiction is actually for the weak, especially those who are weak in their minds and can't control their urge when they realise that money is being wasted. I do not realise this as I believe that it is better to take a break when things are not first working, especially when there are no plans at all.

What I had ever gotten addicted to was the lotto, but the case is not even about playing and playing again at a spot. As you know, the lotto's results are not immediate, so I went and came back multiple times for months until I couldn't control it. Guess what? The moment I realised that this was becoming worse was when I got healed. Everyone must know their right from their words and fight for them right all the time, or else, they pay dearly for it.

Yes, everyone gets emotional when they lose gambling and want to re-deposit and recovar their previous losses. So until a gambler is able to control his emotions, he will keep on depositing and losing and thus gradually he becomes very addicted to gambling.  This is why the first task should be to control emotions.

Wow, you've already list down the possible reasons why a person became addicted in gambling and the reasons that you've mentioned is all true. Gamblers curiosity tends them to continously playing even if they are losing multiple times because they are looking for something especially winning that's why they didn't know their actions towards playing because they are focusing in their goal which is winning the prize. Having a goal of winning is okay as long as you are aware in your actions and you are able to control your decision making.

someone who experiences the first signs of addiction will never be able to feel it because it happens accidentally with something done carelessly starting from ignoring very important small things such as gambling responsibly or gambling just for fun and those who ignore this is sometimes often chasing defeat or experiencing greed and that when the first signs will appear but are not realized and usually the first signs of addiction are as follows:
*always curious about certain games.
*always thinking about that game.
*have feelings of wanting to gamble again.
*all desires to gamble until carried away by dreams.

that what I felt before and that is an early sign that a gambler is addicted and immediately stop or leave gambling for a few weeks and switch to other fun things before becoming more addicted.

It all starts gradually and with time you will see yourself doing it more often by your own especially if you start having some little winnings then you start to get attracted and deep into it if you can't control your emotions. Nobody plans to be addicted to certain things or it is not always intentional but lack of control of your excesses lead you deeper. So it depends on what you want, keep getting the entertainment and don't risk more than what you have and enjoy your game.

An individual's gambling often starts with playing for fun and playing socially with friends. Then it becomes a habit with more frequency of playing. If you are addicted to gambling, you may continuously gamble, leading to losses, hide your behavior, use up all your savings, accumulate debt, or even steal or cheat to support your gambling addiction. Gambling addiction is currently a dangerous condition that can ruin your life.
I was also addicted to gambling and lost a fair amount of money. I realized that I was addicted to gambling. I took a long break from playing, and now that I go to the casino with a responsible player, I am controlling my mood well. I don't know if I'll get addicted again or not. But my mood is still comfortable whether I win or lose in gambling.

No one addected with it once. Giving time in gambling creats slowly addiction . Im not gamble addected person but spending  time with gambling addecting me with gambling slowly. I'm taking it as a entanglement purpus and i am not serious with it that's the reason im playing this for entertainment. But I thik that entertainment can create addection.

You know, honestly, that it's very easy to gamble responsibly, but when we're in the actual casino online, the scenario is no longer like that. A lot changes, especially if you've experienced winning here, because the feeling of winning is different.

Everything changes; often, winning in gambling is what makes you go back to gambling because most people think that they might get lucky again. There is the curiosity to continue without realizing that they are leading to addiction without them noticing.

They are being self-centered, basically those persons never stop to think if the offers they are receiving are legitimate or not, and this happens because they simply assume the world owes them and they are worthy of receiving a bunch of free money for no reason at all, and this is very common on this market, as this is the kind of attitude that I see very often among the investors that like to put their money in shitcoins and they simply assume they will make a fortune even if they made no effort at all to figure out if the coin was good or not.

Additions are always bad, it is never a good thing, for now the things that can be presented are diverse, because we will always seek to have fun and money, but in games of chance it is that, simply having good luck so that things go well for us That is why in order not to fall into addictions we have to show and have many rules, because that is a very hard case, it is normal that when a person has an addiction things become very bad, we have to control what we can do , for For example , one of the things we can do before entering a casino to play is to look for the money that we are willing to lose, so that it does not affect our life or our expenses in any way, because in that case it would not be good to commit money that we cannot lose, that is the first Sign that shows that things are going to go wrong, an addiction is the worst thing that can Happen, so it must be avoided with rules , with our own Rules.

For those who are Addicted , it is difficult to leave that World, it is like doing a Detox that costs a lot , and that detox costs you from not going to the hospital for at least 3 months and enduring all that anxiety that occurs, but it is not like that. detoxification that can occur in a drug addicted person, but I believe that the level of stress and anxiety is the same or even worse, but all those who are in that world of addiction can Achieve it, after that, they can get out of that World , it is when they see that if they can play in a casino that they will not lose control or anything like that, that is why a person who comes out of addiction, whether it is drugs or a casino, must be congratulated, given a lot of encouragement , because in reality they are heroes, it is not easy to fight against oneself, knowing that the weaknesses are there on the surface, that anything can make us Fall , you have to Have a lot of willpower, it is something impressive.

These promotions should be disconsidered by gamblers, in my opinion, for the reasons you mentioned. It's like that saying: when something is too good to be true, you should be careful with that. Unfortunatelly many gamblers are greedy and don't think carefully on what they are doing. They project an image on their minds where they are making easy profit through sudden promotions spotten on the internet, but they don't stop to calm down a little in order to think about the process of reaching to that goal, which is in fact, the most important part.

It should be really obvious to identify that nobody gives money for free on the internet, so why would casinos do? I think it's a mix of greed, naivety and lack of experience from gamblers to think like that. But at least I don't see many gamblers going for such promotions more than once, what means they learn it's bad idea after the first attempt.

This means that the gambling sites uses the bonus as a marketing strategy where they give bonus to the gamblers (usually on the deposits) so that people deposit more in the site. They already know that more they deposit, the more they will gamble and hence chances of the gamblers losing the money and eventually it is a win for the gambling site.

To counter the little advantage, whereby some gamblers may be able to win with the bonus money, they put a high wagering requirement so in the end its only a win sin situation for the gambling casinos only.
