Topic: How Problem Gambler Feels After Losing - page 4. (Read 1579 times)

This is proven to be a myth.  There is no guarantee that gambling can make us rich in a short time.  It is more guaranteed that we may suffer a huge financial loss in a short time if we failed to gamble responsibly.


Indeed the belief that gambling is a rich quick scheme attracts so many people since money is indeed enticing.  But it is a trap, because later they will find out that gambling isn't a rich quick scheme but a gaming system that can take all our assets if we are not careful in engaging with it.

Gambling is a way to get rich in a short time.  So it attracts more people age of 20-40 years.  Because people of this age are more inclined towards money.  Then they get greedy and waste their hard-earned money by gamble. And they lose gambling and go into depression.  Which creates turmoil in their family.

Teenagers are attracted by the myth of making easy money quickly in gambling. Adults are also attracted by this, but remember yourself as a teenager and you will immediately understand what I mean. That is why they are easily involved in betting and quickly become addicted. Attempts to restrict teenagers from gambling at the legislative level seem futile to me, since any of them can play online casinos from a smartphone that everyone now has. And I agree that there is nothing good in this, both for teenagers and their loved ones, and for the whole society as a whole. I have no idea what to do about it, but if you hear more and more about gambling addiction of both adults and teenagers, then the problem is only growing and accumulating.

Yes, it is for this reason that when a person is addicted to gambling, he has to realize for himself that he has this problem, and that he has to attack the problem as quickly as possible, since that way he avoids many unpleasant things coming to him. in your life, you can even avoid misfortunes.

If a person does not want to admit that he is addicted, he must have friends, or at least colleagues whose duty it is to tell them about his problem, partly if there are people who are good by his side, they will tell him and at least comply with telling him, Otherwise, they will contribute so that the person's life becomes increasingly difficult, it is best to quickly attack the addiction problem.





Yes, in part you are very right for what you say, but people who are like that clearly have a big problem with their strength, and it can also be inferred that they are people who have very low self-esteem, a player knows that when they are in In a casino, losses are much more likely and safer when playing than winning, society itself does not contribute much to a person in particular, so win or lose, they will always see it badly, if you win, society will congratulate you, but always There will be feelings of envy and hypocrisy, if you lose people will see you in the same way, since they can give you support but inside they are happy, so a player like a trader should take losses as something normal and not for the sake of giving shame.


I agree, in fact, not all people think the same, but in my case when I play, I always allocate a balance totally willing to lose, and I do not put or take away a single dollar more, I think that when one is left with more desire to play and there is no more money because the biggest mistake is to make more money to play, because at least for me, I would be breaking my own rules and it is most likely that I will lose that money that I was not willing to lose, this is something that results to be very serious, that it was not in my plans and that it would obviously lose control of what I was willing to have as money "outside the game" and I would have to compensate for that void, which for me would become a great annoyance.

Using all the balance for the last bet is not recommended because there is no guarantee that we can win from gambling games. If we lose, we have to deposit some more money to play at a later date and that will make us repeat it over and over again. We should know ourselves and stop if we have had several defeats or wins because that is enough for us to play gambling and continue it again another day. It will also be a way to limit our use of money and avoid big losses.

When a gambler bets on gambling, he is optimistic that he will win. But when he loses he becomes more depressed socially he cannot easily adopt himself in the society and the society also looks at him different ‍angel. Such situations happen especially those who are addicted and  lose everything in gambling.

but we must agreed that we expect losing that winning because that is the reality in gambling .

well , if you bring so much money in gambling and lose? that will prove how irresponsible you are because  imagine you already have lot of money yet you still gamble ? that is greedy mate.

addicted gamblers are mostly the one who always felt the negativity because that is how it works lol.
maybe if you truly understand the call of gambling ? maybe you will have different approach .

It is hard to admit that you are a gambling addict. No one wants to be recognized as a addict because there are stigmas attached to it. The good thing is that they have recognized it as a problem and they thought of proper treatment. But in my opinion, there should be more awareness about gambling addiction as well as a support system for those addicted. Gamblers have psychological disorders, which affect their ability to make right decisions. Problem gamblers may have a hard time in accepting their addiction because they believe that there is nothing wrong with their behavior. They think they are just having fun and they are in control of their actions. But in reality, it is a problem if you do not know when to stop.

It will be always fun ^{(temporarily)} with regret later on, especially if your last bet was to double all your balance coz you feel lucky and yet lost in the end on that bet. This is what i always feel after lossing lol.
Fortunately, it doesnt happen like that always

Behavioral addiction generally does not have a complete cure. Gambling is one of those bad habits that are difficult to get rid of as long as a person is able to play just by owning a smart phone and a private place away from the eyes of others that can embarrass him by monitoring, whether it is in private treatment centers or among family members who want to support him.
The best way, in my opinion, is to fill his time entirely with other activities such as sports and running a business .

It's more on self-admission. Once they admit it, they will be given proper treatment by the medical practitioners that are intended to help them. And with the assistance of their family and friends, the treatment becomes easier and faster for them. But i don't think they will gamble again after that, but if they still do that, i guess they should be responsible gamblers and only gamble in moderation.

Honestly, I think gambling activity is like a loop, whether we win or lose we tend to come back again and again.  If we win, we come back to win more, and if we lose, we might not admit that we chase our losses but for sure, we come back to try our chance again.  Just like the loop, we can't stop until we break that loop and that is stopping our gambling activities.

I can't say if I feel bad if ever I lose, there is a small sign of regret but it is just a temporary feeling because it will be gone after a minute or two probably because I always play with the money that I can afford to lose.

That's the hope of winning next day which keeps on urging the gambler to keep on gambling despite being losing money every day. Gambling has too much attraction that it automatically becomes addition without people even knowing it.

To the OP question, we feel bad after losing in any field of life and gambling is no different. No one like losing but the ratio of losing in gambling is more.

Gambling is a thing of luck that involves either a lost or gain. Because of the outcome in Gambling  is(lost & gain)even if one lose he would want to play again to see if their will be luck to win in a game. Gamblers believe  if they don't win today they might win tomorrow,  that's the patience Gamblers have.

Well, this is a bit of a stretch but the conclusion that you made happens to some of the gamblers who consistently lose their control over their expenses.

The problem of gambling stems from its very nature- the 'high-risk, high-reward' type of scheme. People would constantly gamble away their resources in order to expect the hope of winning the jackpot, thus multiplying their initial bet. While this may seem attractive, most of the gamblers lose their way and eventually exhaust all of their resources without even winning the jackpot.

What most gamblers feel after they lose is that they either: (1) gamble again and hope that they would win this time; or (2) stop and call it a day.

And what does it mean? Please, clarify for those who can't watch full video. From the what I see, some central parts of Joy's brain became "colder" . But the question is what this parts are responsible for.

But thx, when i'll see such tomographic picture, I ll know that this person is addicted 

This picture can represent anything IMO. The pic on the left may seem like the brain is having increased activity while the one on the right isn't. I've watched a documentary somewhere that tackles about how the brain can emulate the brain activity of an addicted person during sleep. It's crazy that we know so much about how an addict's brain works, but not enough to discern why it is somehow similar to the brain activity of a person who's sleeping. All we know is, once the brain created new connections and created a new source of 'pleasure', it's difficult to undo those.

Sorry to hear that mate , you lose that amount in unexpected  way though gambling is indeed no place where to lose or when to win.

it is always normal to feel  bad or sad when losing , but remember to save when you win so everytime losses comes then you have another funds to try winning back the losses.

This is happening because of the advancement in technology . With the advancement of technology, gambling sites are coming to the market with new advantages day by day . Which is attracting the youth towards gambling . And gambling is slowly destroying the life of all gamblers.

I will watch the links that you share one by one later after my work is done, I think this documentary is important for me personally, but what interests me right now is about photography of the difference between normal brain and addicted brain.
and this really took me by surprise, to be honest I don't have any idea so far regarding addiction, it's interesting for me to follow what you've researched so far.
your post is really useful for me personally although I haven't watched this link and I can't conclude anything yet. but thanks.
