It is a reality that there are gamblers who are like that. Hard to accept defeat because they just can't and in return of it, the recovery and chasing is usual which results to losing more but others are success with it.
Can accept defeat and losses but after accepting it, there will be a triggering emotion which is pushing an individual gambler to do it again and again.

I've experienced it myself, and I'm sure I'm not alone here. When I experience defeat, the main thing that comes to my mind is how to return the money that I spent earlier. This is the best way for everyone to get their money back, but it is also the wrong choice because it can result in even greater losses.

Pausing might be an idea to consider, and return when the mind has calmed down and emotion are under control. In gambling, many people suffer the same fate I have because expectation often don't match reality. Accepting defeat is the best way, without having to do it again and again without stopping at that moment.

We have a say whenever we win and that is we want to win more of it. That's our normal reaction whenever our bets are positive and when we win. But if we lose, we still have the same reaction and that is to get back which s if we'll think about the logic.
It's still the same as winning more or taking back.

I think we have the experience to see a strong team defeated by a weak team, which is happening not just one or two times. If we are familiar with the games and have more than enough of the information for each team, perhaps, our chance will be more than 50/50. But I know that still not guarantee us to have won because I consider if the situation can be changed in the middle of the match.

In the middle of the match when bets are already deployed, you can never change your decision and you just have to leave it there. And as for the emotion, it's likely the feeling of most gamblers.
We want more, we recover more as much as we want. That is basically our reaction each time we get to see our bets win or lose.
We celebrate a bit when we win and we don't take losses easily if we fall.

Pretty naive decisions. Not admitting defeat in gambling is a sign that you're just a child and gambling is never for you. Admitting defeat means admitting mistakes that you need to fix in order to win next time you play gambling. Admitting failures means you're ready to take another step or plan to success, and not just whimpering about your losses and let your pride decide what you do in gambling.

It might seem so, a mean, for a fact, people have got to do something while staying at home but then, it all started at a period. At first, movements were restricted, people were stopped temporary from their jobs and that came along with sporting activities, casinos and clubs been shut down temporary. I'm sure during this period, there were certainly no betting untill the games and routes were reopen, people were allowed to go about their daily duties and jobs to a limited extent and then, the nettings got going.
No doubt their were nettings based on predicted scores but then, the bettors were small.
Covid19 have got people searching for online earning platforms and bet seems the most promising yet, a lot of persons lose.

The webpage is useful this gam care if individuals who are dependent in betting will consider giving a shot on looking for direction on the web. Devotion, self discipline and backing could assist us with traversing this dependence since some doesn't have the enthusiasm to control on playing in betting. Betting scenes are in lockdown in accordance with COVID-19 separating measures, offering individuals with issue betting an opportunity to break and look for help. The University of Sydney Gambling Treatment and Research Clinic is as yet open and clinicians are seeing customers utilizing videoconferencing. Anyway admission from new customers is declining and calls to the public betting phone helpline are down half. I'm certain during this period, there were unquestionably no wagering untill the games and courses were resume, individuals were permitted to approach their day by day obligations and occupations somewhat and afterward, the meshes got moving.

It was because of people that are addicted to gambling that simulated reality league (SRL) was introduced by many betting website. Although, it is a computer simulated game but there are not far difference between this and the normal sport game. While this might be a problem for some addicted gamblers, the wake of the covid19 might also be a gateway to getting from addiction.

Sad thing about pandemic is that many have now very less money as savings got utilized due to lockdown or businesses not running as it was before but some of them started utilizing this time to do something different. So, one of whom I know is that have started making the masks and selling it and luckily also got tied up with one of the wholesalers, so they are doing good per say rather than just sitting idle and taking stress. It’s trying to make the optimum utilization of this period. There would be few of them who might have stopped gambling for now due to lack of money.

We don't know when the pandemic will be over, while the money we have reduces. What people can do is how they can save the money that they got from doing many things and continue to survive because that will not be easy. Perhaps, many gamblers now realize that they need to search for a job instead of playing gambling, so they stop gambling for a while because there is a more important thing to do in their life.

We hope that pandemic slowly can end, and people will have a better life with new situations and new hope. I am sure that will happen soon. I think people who have addicted to gambling can trying to cure their addiction in this pandemic while they can't go to the offline casino, and they have to survive in the pandemic.

I guess gambling addiction cases become very low since majority of the people right now are affected and because of that, maybe they're looking for a decent job to survive. But since online gambling is mainstream right now, they can possibly get addicted on it.

For sure, the pandemic will stay more longer even we're doing our best to develop our health care system. This case is very serious and should be given a lot of attention because it can be the end of the economy if it still continues.

To summarize this ,

When we win, we want to play more in order to make our bankroll increase.
When we lose, we still want to play again in order to cover the loss

So in both the scenario, we want to play more gambling

which later turns into addiction.

And that's where the challenge comes in, I guess. In controlling yourself not to crave so much winning in gambling, and not to chase your loss so that you can get back the amount you lost because chances are you'll lose even more. That's why to avoid addiction in gambling (or in anything), I think it's important to be objective rather than subjective; and be logical rather than emotional.

That is why we need to be ready about the consequences whenever we gamble.
The problem with more gamblers is their mind only sets to win and when losing takes place then they rattle and dont know how to handle the situation.
I have been with many gamblers as my family is really gambling oriented from horse race to card game.
And name gambling that available in my country?
All of those are familiar with them
So i know what happens if you dont know how to handle things while playing.

Ah, all this situation with the second wave remind me of the real problem for gambling. Not even gambling, but rather to any business: people are luck of money

I have friends with restaurants and some of them tell me that amount of people visiting their restaurants significantly decreased. Because after first quarantine, when 40 % of people don't have any work for 2-3 month, it's hard to go to cafe or more of that - to gamble. Of course, if you're not addicted to that.

I think many businesses, especially businesses related to many people who stay in one large place, have that experience. Many people can't survive by only waiting for what next they can do in the first lockdown. Thanks to God, after the lockdown is lifted, people tend to get up from their situations and start a new business that is different from the old business.

But I think people stress because they don't have money and don't have a job. But now, people have a will to start to work, made a new business, they become more creative. It seems this pandemic gives people a lesson to grow better than before.

The problem when the lockdown is imposed is that, many people doesn't have any money to use during the pandemic or I should say that they don't have any emergency funds to use at that time that is why people are suffering and until now that some of the lockdowns are lifted already, there are still suffering although it isn't as much as it is few months ago. Businesses are the ones who got affected most during this pandemic. Their revenue decreased by much that it forced some establishments to close or remove some of their workers.

People are really stressed because they don't have any emergency funds to use at that time. Now with the new normal, people can now work at least with some strict protocols though. Some businesses have re-opened and I really hope that this pandemic gives a lesson to those people that it is better to have an emergency funds to be ready for events like this.

That is the problem when you are already engaged into gambling.
There is no way for you to escape on it. You're like in a prison and you are jailed forever (at least).

Getting addicted in gambling is inevitable if you don't know when to stop and when to play. If you win, learn to stop and if you lose also learn how to stop. Learn to know your limits when it comes to gambling so your chances of getting addicted to it is low or at least you will not get addicted into it.

This kind of situation is always there in gambling, it's just up to us how are we going to handle our greed in a way that we can still play when we want but not to the point that it's becoming excessive and addictive.

Addiction is really like a prison but as a gambler, we should also be responsible enough to prevent ourselves to get locked by it. Self-discipline is really needed in gambling.

You have summarized it correctly.That is the human nature,we are born greedy by nature and gambling can make us become even more greedy.That is the problem and that is the main reason why casinos still exist today,they prey on human nature and weak individuals are the real victims of the industry.

We should be careful when gambling as with gambling are associated big risks both financial risks and phsycological ones.

agree with all of you, and it's good not to try to gamble because without realizing it you will continue to play because you feel curious or want to continue playing to make up for your previous losses.
and all without realizing that you have become addicted, and that winning at gambling will trigger you to continue playing out of greed on the grounds of getting money fast.
and if it continues like that before you know it, you will lose everything and regret it but it is too late.

Unfortunately most people can't be winners in gambling, because if that would be the case then the casinos would all go bankrupt after a while. For the casino to make money it needs some of it's gambler to lose money. Which is not a bad thing. Because most of us are not into gambling for winning or losing a small amount, we are into gambling to win big. It's like with lottery tickets, they are fairly cheap compared to the potential winnings.
