But I once experienced a loss in a month of gambling, and it caused me to lose maybe $50-$60. Perhaps that's a small amount to other gamblers, but it's an amount I can afford to lose.
I myself am the opposite. I saw gambling as a place to earn extra income. Sometimes, I lost up to $1,000. I lost all reason and placed a higher bet to return the lost money. At that time, my mind only thought about getting that money back. Luck smiled at me. I got that money back. But I don't often win in gambling. Now I have to learn your way of playing and don't dare to take risks anymore.
What a risk taker, but one should always keep in mind that chasing losses usually ends up losing everything so yeah, you're lucky you've been able to take back that $1k.
From my experience I am really terrible at chasing losses, though it's not as big as $1k but it's something which I can afford to lose, chasing it would exceed the amount that I can afford to lose.
To answer the OPs question, I feel like I can actually win more than I lose but only with just a little percentage, however, the fact that I didn't want to stop there then that causes me to lose more than I win eventually.
This is why it would really be that important that on the time that you are experiencing these stuffs, then you should obliged yourself not to go into those certain extents of actions to be made.
People do mess up due to bad and wrong decisions knowing that gambling could really give out that kind of disaster on the time that you would really be making up
such wrong choices.
