1.Chasing the losses. 2.Chasing "the big win, that will change everything". 3.Get a dopamine boost/adrenaline rush.
OP, asking this question seems a little bit stupid. It's like asking a drug addict "Doing drugs is bad for your health, why do you keep doing drugs?" It's like asking a smoker "Smoking is bad for your health, why do you keep smoking?" The people, who don't have bad habits think that having a bad habit is irrational. I get their point of view, but I don't want to argue about stuff, which cannot be changed. Gambling will never end, just like all the other bad habits.

Yes, many gamblers lose their money including me. But that will not make us stop playing gambling. We find an entertainment from gambling and some of us still want to make money. That is why we don't stop gambling even for a while because gambling tempting us to keep playing gambling.

We know that we are difficult to win in gambling but that will not be a problem. But we must always limit ourselves when playing gambling so we can prevent the big lose in gambling but we can enjoy our time to playing gambling.

There's always this false hope to bank on and that alone in itself keeps so many persons returning even when they know so well that they are loosing often but they keep believing that some dat they are going to have a huge win and will most definitely recover all that they have lost over the times they have been gambling and anticipating, but if you are very disciplined and can control your emotions you can quit in time and not have to continue while depending on the false hopes.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Because gambling games never feel satisfied so they will definitely come back whether it's chasing losses or looking for fun in gambling.

Many people will have their own reasons even though they know they will lose a lot.

Gambling is indeed a business, but very rarely businesses in this industry will lose money they even continue to get large profits, that's what I know.
Gambling is luck-based, so people will continue to be curious, so they don't know when they will win.

If a gambler has a goal that they gamble for entertainment only then they will not think about how they play in the long run - their mindset towards gambling is different from someone who views it as a means to make money, because they do not consider it as a platform where they can earn money like working, what is important is how they can play and get the excitement of the game and how to feel the adrenaline of taking risks. That's why someone will go back to gambling and not feel a loss, even they realize that in the long run they are the ones losing.

I think is hope, we hope to win the next one and we always have that one voice that keeps telling us to go back and try that we'll win, is not going to happen but we still have to try. Is like we are convincing ourselves not to back down even when things are not going our way. So I'll say the main reason why we continue going back to try even while we know the outcome would be loss and we go back is Hope.
Is only few individuals that take gambling as a business and they know it has to do with losing and not that constant win, when you have that in mind I don't think you'd want to shut down if is something you have put your mind to do, you'd continue no matter what but your win will always be large. As a gambler you just need to be careful with the selections and most importantly the way you stake.

it's all about fun and of course a possible massive profits reason many people still coming back to gamble although sometimes they keep losing money. But i believe these are those who really experienced a big win because to be honest there's no way people will coming back on this game of luck if there are no proof that some gambler can really make massive profits after all the losses. So perhaps it depends on the status as well .

Actually gambling is a game of entertainment, even if people lose in this game of entertainment, they come back again and again for entertainment. I participate in gambling for entertainment, I do not participate in gambling to earn money. Now if I lose in gambling, I will still come here again and again for entertainment because from here I can get maximum entertainment. Similarly, those who take gambling as entertainment do not mind losing, and those who participate in gambling to earn money blame themselves a lot when they lose.

It will be easier for you if those players who lose more than they win will share their failures here, but what is the point, if you want to know that you are not the only one, then it is clear. Instead of just coming back every time to lose again, you need to think about what is the reason for the loss and try to change it, change the approach in strategy, risk management, that is, somehow try to start winning, at least I would strive for such a goal.

Usually, those of us who gamble do not gamble for income but for fun, those who gamble by following this principle do not face addiction. And we do not consider it a business as a profit or loss, because gambling has been around for a long time, it is basically one of the places to have fun.
Where all the people in the world are mainly united through this gambling and have chosen it as a place to have fun, so even if we lose money sometimes, we do not consider it a loss. Because those of us who have been involved in gambling for a long time, their main purpose is to have fun.

Generally,there're several reasons people would want to gamble even after realizing that they're loosing or going to loose.Firstly,I think it's the money motives and winning mindset.The mindset of repeating other people's experience;Gamblers have an attitude of believing that what worked for others would occur to them as well.

With all hopes high,and readiness to make money,gamblers are unruly connected with having faith,been hopeful and very confident about winning their numbers that's why they'd repeat the same activity for a even a hundredth time.Despite the challenges and risks involved they're very optimistic about winning.

Gamblers know that gambling is a losing venture where there is no guarantee of winning, yet people still get addicted to gambling. Most gamblers who are addicted to gambling lose most of their lives, yet they continue to bet in the hope of making a large profit. If any other business like gambling were in such a loss, they would try to shut it down as soon as possible, but despite knowing the loss potential, gamblers cannot control themselves from this business.

Possibly due to addiction. Its a serious matter that needs full focus and attention to stop. Some keeps going back even they lose a lot cause theres a glimpse of hope at the back of their mind that they can recover the losses they incurred and win big next time. This is a hard fact in gambling. We cant blame ourselves cause the stake is too high and definitely will not blame those who keeps coming back cause I understand them.

you have your brain to thank for that

the brain releases a hormone that is only released when there is a rewarding activity this hormone is released when you drink alcohol or when you scroll through social media dopamine isn’t bad as it is released when you are happy but too much of it can stimulate the brain into wanting this hormone hence why when you gamble and dopamine is released the brain is basically telling you to do it again so it can get dopamine again

that’s because gambling is not seen as a business anyway lol

people don’t go into gambling expecting much of profit (though pleasantly encouraging) but it is still fun and enjoyable to keep playing and the profit is only a bonus

Buddy once people that understanda gambling start losing much they retreat and go for a break for sometime because they already know that if the continue doing it with the pressure that's in them, they may lose more so the best option for them is to breath in and relax for sometime before they can come back, though it is not as easy as am saying it but one can do it, what's just needed is discipline and ability to be in control of your gambling habit at all time.

People keep coming back even when they know that in the long term they'll lose as you said for different reason bast known to them but on a general reason I think people keep coming back even when they keep losing because some gamblers harbors the mindset that in the long-term run the will win even though they lose presently but I laugh at this because gambling is not an investment per say so whats the consistency all about, I think the best way to do this thing is to gamble with the amount you can afford to lose and be happy while doing it and just position your mind for anything so as to be at peace with yourself,

Actually we all have experienced losses in gambling, but still we can never stop gambling. because most of us see it as a way of surviving, while some see it as a way of entertainment or having fun. so there's no how we can stop playing gambling. But however, I think it's essential to understand that gambling is not a get rich quick scheme, once you noticed that you are losing too much in gambling the best for you to do is take a break and prevent often losses, rather than chasing losses then at last you ended up losing more and more.

That is the thrill of gambling, or shall we say that's what attract the most of us, the adrenaline rush or just trying to test our luck with that unknown. And maybe we can bet the odds that are stack against us as we all know that the house has the edge.

So even if we are losing money, there are no stopping. We want to go more and maybe one day we will hit a huge jackpot. But still though if we will have to sum up everything, unless we hit that lottery, we are still in the negative.

Most people continue to gamble to chase a high. The thought of winning a life changing amount of money is a contributing factor as well, but mostly they are just chasing the thrill they get on a win.

You can't win if you don't play comes to mind. You also can't lose though.

Because gambling is not a business for a gambler. Gambling is a business for casinos. And the casino can really evaluate this activity in terms of business criteria. But the gambler gets more than just profit or loss from gambling. There is also such an element as excited.

Let me better illustrate my point with this example. It is known from ancient history that the people of the Roman Empire wanted to receive two things: bread and circuses (panem et circenses). So "bread" is gambling winnings, and "circuses" is gambling excitement. Thus, gambling is a symbiosis of these needs. Please note that losses are a mandatory element of this system, because without losses it is impossible to enjoy the winnings. This is dialectic.

I just don't think about those losing and winning situation since it will just disappoint us. What I just think about is to have fun and if I win then great but if I lost still fine since anyways I'm not spending any huge amount also didn't exceed on the amount limit I always set on gambling.

I'm done with those phase where I lose a lot of money and already develop good discipline to quit when needed since sometimes its boring to gamble for long hours and just find other alternative things that more beneficial to me. Don't think about getting a lot of money in gambling and this will lead you to became more greedy for more big gains. Also to bad if you fall from addiction if you cannot control yourself.
