I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?

It is not about the motivation but it is the feeling of recovering your losses.

Generally when a player loses in a gambling game, they have this feeling that they need to recover their losses by gambling again. Unfortunately, this is called the gambler's cycle where a player will gamble regardless of the result, either they win or lose, thereby creating an endless cycle. The only way for the player to break into this cycle is if when they decide to either quit completely or accept the fact that they will not be able to recover their losses.

It is also easier said than done for a person to quit after losing. Our initial response when we lose is to try and win again. But with the determination needed, a player can destroy this cycle and realize that such will never be recoverable.

The motivation for most of the people is to have the chance to recover all of that money and perhaps even more, in the end, it only take a very good strike of luck, it has already been the case for many lucky ones around the world, specially if we talk about lotteries.

I have personally not been very lucky during my dice sessions, but I am rather a casual gambler, so I cannot compare my personal experience with what other have gone through with years of gambling and losses. Perhaps it has something to do with some myths some gamblers believe, like alledgely gamblers are closer to get their good luck back when they decide to quit, so they never quit.

It is about superstition and a little bit of greed, there is always a percentage of greed when comes to gambling, even when we are supposed to see this as pure entertainment, we never completely do so.

One of the motivations behind a gambler that loss feverously is nothing but addiction. You can't lose and lose and then come the next day, no change of strategy or skills, no improvement, no new inspiration only to come and bet the usual ways and expect to win. Loss can be frustrating, not every gambler have the power to stomach it, consistent loss can create frustration which can result in playing more and more without any result. I really think addiction and frustration are two main reason gamblers repeatedly bet even if when they lose multiple times.

There are some gamblers that are motivated when they see others win large sum of money, anytime they loss, they act like they give up and swear not to gamble the next day but as soon as they find out that a player has won a great sum of money, they will go back to the casinos to try their luck again. In addition to frustration and addiction, success gambling from others makes people to want to gamble more even when they lose.

The reason for those people that always gamble after a consistent lost is that, they always I have it at the back of their mind, that they will one day win big. the propelling factor can also be about the fact that they've heard stories of their friends or close relatives winning it big, so that keeps them going with the hope that one day, it will be the lucky day for them, and that's the spirit of gambling because actually one day will come and they will win it big.

Revenge. That is the most common reason for many gamblers. Try to defeat the house. It's impossible but what if you can win just the right amount to cover every loss that happened?

Chasing losses. They just want their money back. You can succumb to this problem and in many cases of addiction, this is the main problem they are suffering.
The truth is it is impossible to win but because many gamblers share their wins in either the chatbox of the gambling site itself or streamers who are showing how possible a gambler could win multis, that's what pushes them to keep on doing it. I believe the only place where we have a chance to win is sports betting. Forget it if it's casino games.

I believe they are not only gambling because they just want to win; perhaps they find pleasure in gambling because it is more fun for them than anything else. There's no way someone can always lose money in gambling and still want to keep betting, unless the person is an addict or is enjoying the fun they are having. There are some people too who have a good source of income, and as such, they usually have the money to spend on gambling on a regular basis, so they don't get bothered by the losses they face. Secondly, in gambling, the casinos are the ones making the money, while they only give gamblers the opportunity to win a small amount.

The hope to hit the big winning in the next bet is their hope for continuous gambling even with recorded losses, but then we have to create a balanced ground to be able to move on and walk away with some of your balance even if already at lose but losing everything trying to chase a win is the most dangerous thing to do as a gambler and for that, it can lead you into addictions.

This is why we have always advised that one should not chase a particular direction while gambling even if it be win or loses.

Acceptance and knowing your purpose again, you can gamble as long as you know your reasons.
Personally, I do still gamble to have more fun with less expectation about the profit since we know the risk and we know the probability to win in gambling is not that high. Its not a motivation though but if you’ll focus yourself on your losses, then you’ll be stress for a long time so better to forget and move on.

Acceptance and move on. Self control and discipline would be the key because if you had missed out such thing then most likely you would be playing once again.This had been a typical cycle on which
majority of gamblers cant really just accept their fate specially when they are on a losing situation on which they would really be instilling into their minds that the next bet might be a win already and this is why they would really be increasing their bet amounts on each bet until they would be able to bust up but for those who might be lucky then recovery could be possible but in most cases and knowing that house do always win at the end then they would really be always having the advantage.

Because gambling is not a do or die affairs, we are gambling because we want to have fun through the pleasure time, not because we see gambling as a means of making money online, we have to change the kind of approach we give to gambling in most case.

Some gamblers are less concerned on how often they loose all because they have the money to always use for gambling, fine and good that's not a bad idea, we can also make it a decision that wether we loose or win, gambling is our major plug for having fun, because of loads of excitements in it.

First off, the biggest reason why people quit after losing one too many times is the fact that they are either traumatized from the amount of money that they lost from the whole ordeal, or it's not just fun losing to them. I personally don't let it get to my head when such situations arise especially since I made it a point to only gamble for fun and not for the profit, but I'm not gonna lie there are instances where I lose my cool too and end up aggravated from my losses. But as the age old adage says, "tomorrow is another day" so I just hope for the best and assume that the next day's going to be more eventful. I'm not looking to win, I'm looking to enjoy and sometimes you can do that while you're losing too.

The losses itself.

If you are ever seeing those gamblers that keeps on going on despite the huge losses already, it is because of that. When you've been beaten for so many times and your money has been taken into your hands.

All you want is to take them back. But what happens for most is that they're taken for more and that's how it goes. It still ends up into stopping but that's like with some rage in the heart because of those losses incurred.

It is very unfortunate how some persons derive joy in loses, how can someone be doing a business and you're losing conspicuously then they still continue doing the business why don't they quit or rather discard it for sometime. Like in football there are weeks that matches presented are not too familiar with a gambler so instead of leaving it they will want to try luck knowing too well that the chances of predicting the outcome of the event is not cerntain

There is this mindset and mentality named "YOLO".

I know that you also know it and that's what makes someone to continue even if he's got nothing anymore but wanting to keep going. And with that mindset that encourages them, the other thing that they do is when they are using those disappointments and mainly losses in gambling as their motivation.

You can see the point from there and that's why with gamblers that have been losing a lot of money, whether they've got reasons or not, something pushes them to go on and uses that as their motivation which is wrong obviously in our eyes but for them, it is not.

Is it continuous losses or just losses in the majority? I've experienced the former, as for the latter I believe I have more wins than losses afaik. Might be wrong though, I've gambled a couple of years already and I haven't really kept count. I've never really lost motivation while losing, if I did, I sure as hell would not have played countless games before (or even bough them if I feared losing). It's just part of the process, the game. This might be more apparent with gambling though since money is involved, but hey, that's the price I accepted before hand, wouldn't blame it if I lost or anything really, I'd seem rather dumb by then.

For me, I think it's either to go breakeven of that loss or get back at it or you really want to win, other case is that it was a combination of it and passing the time. The motivation is to not lose the next time of course, that's like having a dopamine even if you're just getting lost after lost, psychology probably has explanation for it.

I am not an active gambler, I can understand the reasons for those who continue to gamble even though they often lose and there are only 2 reasons, either addiction or being too comfortable. A gambling addict will continue to come to gambling because he considers gambling as a place to make money and always wants to earn more. But if a gambler feels comfortable he just considers gambling like playing regular games to entertain himself with a very small amount or by using money he can afford to lose. So this gambler will not expect a big win because he realizes that gambling is just a place to find fun in his free time.

Some habit of gamblers are worth emulating, not all habits that they show is bad. If you examine the life of a serious gambler, you will notice that gamblers have or develop a positive trait that can be emulated by others who do not even gamble, and that habit is having a strong mindset of mostly never giving up. There is always the sustained belief that if they keep trying, they will one day be able to win something tangible to cover all their loss or as compensation, and that is what keeps gamblers going.

You know, even in gambling, it still involves those who have the knowledge and abilities. There are many people for whom gambling is not a way of life or a source of happiness but they don't seem to be giving up because they think that one day they will win no matter how they have previously lost. However, if I came across people who consistently lost on gambling and lacked luck in winning, I would advise them to stop gambling and try something else instead because it wasn't the right activity for them.

I had two friends who have been gambling on sportybet for about seven years, and one has only won like six times, and even then, the winnings have never been enough to cover his losses. He always complained to me that he wanted to stop gambling but couldn't because he kept losing, despite his mind telling him to stop and the other telling him to keep playing because he would win one day. But he does not respond well to my constant advice to stop gambling. The worst part is that if they get their hands on a little bit of money, they'll start planning ways to gamble with it. I'm not sure if they experience pain when they lose.

Motivation?

- Chasing losses
- Thinking up on break even
- Next bet might be a win
- You do still have balance, and that might be ending on hitting a jackpot or big win
- You are just planning to make use of the remaining balance you do have

A very common type of problem on which most gamblers are really that into and this is why on the time that you would really be having losses on consecutive manner then
it would really be that always wise that you shouldnt really be going into beyond borders or limits.

Call it a day or simply that quitting that session after you had exhausted your balance because on the time that you would really be adding up more, then this is solid indication that you
are really that addicted to it on the time that you would really be going against into those actions which are really that more sensible on doing so rather than
on making yourself that continuing until you have lost big time which is something that needs to avoid.

Wisdom demands that when you as a gambler play consecutively with recorded failures, it is expected that you retract for a while or possibly take a break from gambling but since common sense is not common to some gamblers they begin to chase their loses with the mentality and perspective of recovering their loss and they end up recording more loses more and more and this result to their addiction and the circle keep repeating itself again and again. These are the reason why most gamblers get addicted to gambling and finds it difficult stopping the habit.

I guess they are too rich to worry about the money lost in their gambling activities. Tongue

Gambling is not supposed to be seen in a way of making money but if someone never experienced winning will not be thrilled to gamble in my opinion so one who is still doing it is probably dumb to realize they can't become rich by losing money.
