Topic: I know I lose money in gambling... - page 2. (Read 509 times)
To some it's an addiction, while to others they try to use a means to create a source of income this is while they still make attempts of they must have failed multiple times. In the long run gambling doesn't really pay off but instead it take from you. Personally, as a gambler that's into sports betting I keep going back to it even after losing so many times because I'm hopeful that maybe one day I'm going to hit the jackpot, and this is what probably fuel other people's drive as well. At the end of the day all that matters is how careful you are, always remember that staking low makes you a more responsible gambler.
It's the same for me. I know that I lose money and that especially what happens when we are talking gambling for a long time. It's most likely to comeback towards the casino. It's just going to be a sad thing that we would think "I shouldn't have bet on this" and the cycle continues. It's just the continuous thing. In the long run, I know as well that I lose money. I'm just in for the fun.
But with gambling, why do we keep playing, even when we know we’re not winning? (I'm talking about overall performance)
I keep gambling even after losing because I am gambling to lose. I have no intention of earning anything from gambling or having any desire to earn anything. Considering gambling as a means of entertainment, I spend money on gambling that is not valuable to me at all. Even if you control your emotions and continue gambling for entertainment, you are not losing anything. Because you are spending money for entertainment from which you do not expect anything in return. 
Sometimes we gamble again not just for fun, but also to get back everything we have lost, or the losses we have experienced in previous gambling. But this is just a stupid thing that will only make us lose more.
Someone once said that true victory in gambling is not about how much we have won, but about how well we can control the gambling itself. Because if we cannot control the gambling we do, no matter how much money we get from gambling, it will eventually run out again for gambling.
Therefore, it is very important for us to be able to control gambling well, so that we can avoid all forms of losses resulting from irresponsible gambling behavior.

But I’m sure I’m not the only one, so I just want to hear from other gamblers here on why do we keep coming back, even though we know that in the long run, we’re losing?
If gambling were a business, it would be like running a losing business something any smart business owner would shut down ASAP.

That’s because of the entertainment we get from it - most gamblers that gamble for fun keeps going back despite the losses because they are getting something else from gambling which is “entertainment”.
While the others keeps going back to gamble after losing their money to gambling because they think if they keep gambling they will one day hit a jackpot and regain all that they have lost to gambling and even make more profits from it, and that’s why they keep going back and this never happens in most cases - so in the end they’ll lose more and finally call it a quit.
For me, I don’t gamble too much so I’m not really bothered when I lose my bankroll to gambling and I have also employed a new strategy which makes me lose less sometimes; and that’s when I make a deposit I’ll try as much as possible to double the deposit amount and then withdraw the amount I deposited into my account before I continue gambling that way I won’t lose a dim if i eventually lose the entire balance and it works sometimes while other times I am not lucky enough to double the deposits.
We coming back to gambling because we want to recover our losses or we want to win the games or because of curiosity. But in the long term, we may still lose our money because gambling will not give you the win easily. You can lose all of your money without too long especially if you lose control over gambling. But our curiosity is too high and makes us keep playing gambling without think about controlling ourselves in gambling. When we lose control in gambling, we never think to stop gambling but that makes we become emotion and want to recover our losses.

It is not a business, if you are playing casino games thinking it is a business you are completely delusional. A business is setting up a casino, or investing in casino bankrolls but not gambling. The exception would be the skill games but even with them you can end up losing money as happens to more than 90%, but in this case, if you do it right, if you could be considered more like a business.

There is adrenaline when you make a bet on a particular game that you like. It makes you want to play again to get that feeling that you might only get from betting.
Even though you might feel upset or even regret when you are in defeat, there will be pleasure from the game that you play. You might know even overall you will lose in the game. But you still have a feeling of curiosity and curiosity to win some of the games.
Now, I believe if you, as a gambler, approach gambling from the point of fun as a form of relaxation, like I do, you will not consider it a loss. It's just like some people enjoy the life of the party, so when they go to the nightclub, you don't even want to imagine the amount they spend on a bottle of drink.
Some people enjoy vacation; they don't miss it three to four months in a year, they are off to unwind and relax vacation is not cheap. So you can see. You can approach gambling from the point of having fun while expecting a win, but not the win that will be a constant source of income. But if you get the jackpot, that's amazing. So, you bet with a minimal amount
Also, if you go with this rule, "until you win a jackpot you are not betting beyond a limit". It's going to help you. before you pour in a huge amount of money into gambling, make sure you've gotten three or four times that amount from winning a jackpot or a really good game. Just keep that as a rule, and you won't fell at loss.
See gambling can be your choice of relaxing and having fun. Some people enjoy going to the cinema to see every new movie. They don't like downloading it on their phone, that's where they spend their own money and relax. That's how I say it.

There's only two possible reasons.If gambling were a business, it would be like running a losing business something any smart business owner would shut down ASAP.

1. Coming back for fun
2. Coming back due to addiction and greed.
We do know that we can only classify gamblers into those things mentioned above and this is why gambling business is so profitable into its owners it is just because people do keeps on losing in the end specially on casinos on where house do always win at the end and its really that a profitable business and this is why this industry is really that becoming that even more bigger and having that good revenue as we do go ahead on the years. We do know that number of gamblers are really that increasing on which its understandable that its really that meaning that it is making good money.
There's no issue if you do keeps on coming back as long you are really that responsible into the money that you do spend up because usually problem do really start up when you are really that getting addicted into it and spending up funds like a madman.

You make it appear like everyone in gambling loses money, no Sir, that is not correct. Gambling is an individual thing and a lot of people are net profitable in gambling. That you are losing money does not mean everyone is also losing money consistently, there are some people making a living from gambling even though they lose sometimes, it is definitely every time and when they win, they cover all the losses and still make profits. If you are losing money consistently without winning, it is either you change your strategy or stop gambling but please don't generalize the losing money thing because some are comfortable with gambling, the reason more and more people are signing up in different gambling platforms.

When you are a user wearing a gambling sign, then you should no longer need to be confused about why you are still in the gambling circle. Because after all, you yourself are still a user who promotes gambling, so I think that can also be the reason why you still come back to gambling. But, if you want another reason, of course there is a hobby in sports, so users still involve betting for a challenge in a prediction. Thus, as long as users can still combine hobbies and gambling, then it will still be interesting to do even though winning at gambling remains difficult.
I can relate to this your statement. Everyday we promote gambling casinos here by engaging in gambling discussion which are mandatory why do we think we wont think of gambling individually? It will take someone who is really discipline to avoid gambling while running Ads for casinos. Its just like asking if the bookmakers do gambling when every single day they set odds for games. I think it is important to understand that in gambling you lose money, if after months of playing there is no profit and there is only a decreasing deposit, then the player will never want to give big money to gambling. After several losses, you can rest a little and then continue playing further, I do not know if there will be hope that over time I will start making a profit in gambling, for now I do not think about it, I just continue to play, it is not for the sake of earning.
This is how it should be done literally but it is not done that way. People will always want to try their luck at every chance they get to gamble. Also, i dont expect someone who has good experience in gambling to lose frequently to the extent he has to stop gambling for a while. This interesting suggestion should be based on the idea of having more losses compared to wins for a long time. Because as an experience gambler it is expected that you win sometimes and lose sometime. 
~OP~
Gambling is an entertainment that requires money, like basically all other entertainment. During a gambling session we get a whole range of emotions from feelings of excitement to hatred. Many gamblers realize that the probability that they all lose is very high, but they return to gambling to feel these emotions again. I think it happens on an unconscious level. Besides, we all need hope. Gambling is ready to give us that hope every day.
But with gambling, why do we keep playing, even when we know we’re not winning?
Every gambler is under the spell of near success syndrome. Just because the last time the gambler lost money, it was almost like they were going to win, there is the encouragement to keep trying to gamble with the expectation that winning is very close. Regardless of the results from previous games, whenever a gambler comes to play a fresh game, there is the expectation that they are about to win.
But you are talking about people who believe that they will eventually win and earn some money. The OP was asking about those who knowledgeably gamble no matter the expectable negative result in the long-term.
He made a simile when he talked about people running business that make them lose money, but gambling is not a work, but a hobby. So, even if there may be a few people who run loss-making business just for the sake of it or because they like it and can afford to do it, most people can't do it, which is not the case with gambling.

Fun fact is, if you were operating a gambling business then you would be in solid profits but we are the end users and we lose.
The reason why some come back is because they "HOPE" to win, some come back because they were out of money and got some spare cash, some come back in frustration while some come back for fun.
Everyone have their own set of reasons but one thing that doesn't changes is losing money.

We see the pattern in general how gamblers will continue to play even though they know that in the long run it will get defeat, it is because they have the hope of the possibility that can bring them to get money at the time they expect (or when they want to gamble) there is always a thought maybe the day This I will be lucky and yesterday's defeat will not be repeated again, and yes it is very thick with the thoughts of gamblers who are looking for money in gambling, they will always think positively to take risks to the possibility that they will use.

It's a business, but you are just customer of that business. If gamblers would make more money, then the business they are customers of, then it would be just bad business.If gambling were a business, it would be like running a losing business something any smart business owner would shut down ASAP.

Why do i keep coming back? Because i would like to think i have found the sweet spot, where i have control on how much i am losing and still having fun.
Occasional wins, and low changes of winning big are obviously in the mix, but they aren't something i am trusting to get.
If me keep coming back wouldn't be totally in my control, if i started overbetting even a little, i would start to get worried. Because then it can turn to compulsive obsession, and at least i need to be careful with that, as i don't want to end up in a situation where someone needs to bail me out because of that. Then i would revisit my plan, and probably either just quit cold turkey for a year, or seek help to do that.
But for now, i'll keep coming back because i am enjoying it, even if i am losing in long run. There are some good gambling sessions that make my day.
