The theory of 'loss aversion', which states that people feel the pain of losing more intensely than the pleasure of an equivalent gain, appears to be at play here. Gamblers often fall prey to this cognitive bias and continue gambling in an attempt to recover their losses, thereby spiraling into an addiction.
We could argue that the real problem is not gambling per se, but rather, a lack of responsible gambling. The industry itself, regulators, and individuals all have a role to play in promoting responsible gambling practices, such as setting limits on spending and time, self-exclusion programs, and promoting awareness about the risks of gambling addiction.
Your advice to control oneself and stop before losing more money is indeed sage. We could even argue that recognizing when to stop is the real "jackpot", isn't it?
If you succeed in getting the jackpot, we have to stop and not expect another jackpot because it won't be possible or it's unlikely. And if some people continue playing instead because they hope for another jackpot, they have wasted what they got. That's where he can become addicted to gambling, even though it's not too bad, but if he continues like that, after a long time, he will become addicted to gambling without knowing it. Gamblers have a problem because they don't have responsibility when playing gambling, so they can't stop when their money is low, and they've been doing this for a long time. So the only thing he could do was try to control himself and stop gambling.
They won't be able to think straight anymore when their minds are poisoned with gambling profits that they haven't even earned yet. Losing more money they don't feel and they will realize when their money is completely gone. The big jackpot is just wishful thinking and will never be achieved. Self-control and money control can be done at the beginning when they are not too addicted, so awareness is needed from an early age so that they are not trapped in a difficult situation.
Indeed. Especially when whispers poison their minds to continue playing gambling to get the win. They will regret it after it's all over. They will see that the money is gone and cannot be recovered, so they must leave the casino regretfully. They really have to reduce their gambling activities before they become addicted to gambling and to reduce the loss of money, and that can be done by learning to control themselves in gambling.
planning a gambling budget with a small amount that can afford to lose and gambling responsibly, that's the best way for me to be able to control your gambling sessions.
maybe everyone has a different way, but the goal remains the same, namely to control yourself not to gamble too often.
If gamblers can do this method, I'm sure it will be very easy to stay away from addiction and stay safe.
We have the same way of gambling, so I think that can help us continue to enjoy gambling and know when to stop. Whatever the outcome at the end of the game will not make us continue playing gambling because we know that our limits are visible, and we need to stop before it's too late. Also, we do this because we've had previous unpleasant experiences that we really want to get rid of by imposing responsibility on ourselves. Hopefully, we can stay like this while gambling so we won't experience gambling addiction.
