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?

For those that gamble for fun, I don't think they need another reason for them to gamble rather than just playing and having that fun they came there to do, where losing the game is just part of the game for them and they accept it in good faith.
 
But for anyone who gambles for fun and wins, they probably like to continue in order to chase their losses. By doing this, they believe they will one day be able to win a game that will help them recover all that they have spent during the losing season.

Those are just what I can think, and I also believe that we all have individual beliefs as to why we still continue gambling even knowing the fact that we have lost enough and always don't have winning luck. We all have that individual inner spirit that will either push us to try hard or will advise us to stop.
In my own opinion, I think it's only when you're addicted to gambling that you'll always betting frequently even when it is too obvious that you're losing. A lot of people who I think are gamble addicts but claim they're not will always come up with the idea that they're just trying to gamble more just because they don't easily feel defeated.
One thing I learnt about gambling is that it's very good to stop gambling when you're losing quit gambling for two or three days before you can  go back again because if you try to gamble more, you're very likely to lose your money.

Losing is part of gambling. Many gets used to it. At the beginning even a small loss pains, and slowly people gets used to it. Most of the time after big loss gamblers take decision not to gamble anymore. But the temptation to gamble never lets them free. After little break the gambler begins to wager with small amount. This continues for some time period and further slowly the old way of wagering starts. Every gambler used to be in loss and somewhere they could've experienced profit and those moments give the hope of winning and continue gambling.

enhhh, you see...not really much of a motivation than just being hopeful... The winnings displayed everyday advert on the net is also a motivational factor. It's easy to hold back the gullible ones to keep wagering until whenever they feel tired of doing so.
'em peers could also be an aid ... Cus when you see your friends winning, you'll always wanna keep trying even begind close doors too.

I get why people keep betting even when they lose.  Each new bet feels exciting and hopeful, like maybe this one will be the big win.  It's kinda like chasing a high.  For other folks, it's just entertainment, even if they're not winning and  theres also the social part - some enjoy betting with friends and chatting about it.


Betting or gambling with friends is very common in many country. In fact, many people become friends because of this one habit. In some forms of games like cards, this is very common even in offline gambling.

Of course, it's one way to make friends as well even in traditional based casinos, you sit on one table, you converse and talk to the other players. And then, in the next couple of days you might see him/her again playing the same games, like baccarat or black jack. And then you sit on that table and another conversation happen.

In this matter, it is true that I admit that this gambling activity has a pretty good chance in terms of adding friends, and it is true that this has become very common in various countries. If you're looking for an online or offline gambling experience, it's definitely possible that you'll make new friends, chatting at a table with a glass of beer and talking about your gambling experience is something that is very likely to happen to every gambler. And also in my opinion you can get a pretty good game from the information your friends provide there and I have also experienced that, tried some of the suggested games and it turns out that yes the results are very good, I can get some wins even though the amount is not too large, it will strengthen our friendship.

But regarding your questions, maybe they want to chase the money that they have lost in their gambling. And so even if they are losing frequently, they still believed that one day they are going to be lucky and recover the money. But not sure if that is enough though, as gamblers didn't record their winning/losing.

It is very possible and usually from all gamblers most of them will have assumptions like what you said friend, going to gamble with the intention of returning the defeat in the previous time, all gamblers must have experienced this mindset even though this is wrong but it is natural because it is gambling that is very annoying when losing and usually we will not accept the defeat, especially for gamblers who have just come as beginners. The strange thing is that even though in the end defeat always dominates but they still believe that the next time they will succeed in getting the intended victory, and yes still lose haha. I'm sure that anyone if they calculate their gambling then surely the facts will say that the number of defeats is much greater than the victory, that's gambling and luck.

What's so fun about betting, even if you are losing? Where is the entertainment there? Chasing losses is the worst thing that a gambler will do, and I don't think there is a gambler out there who is still entertained despite having suffered a lot of losses or facing numerous losses. I don't know if you know what you are saying. Maybe for you, you still enjoy that, but not for the other gamblers, because when you lose, there's no entertainment in it. That's why I don't disagree with your statement. Example: If you lose big, will that be okay with you? No, of course you are a person who loses money that you've earned. I don't discriminate against you; your understanding of gambling seems wrong. I know many readers here also disagree with you, and if you do what you are saying, please stop that. Losing in gambling is not fun; that's not entertainment.

I once won a big bet in gambling but not long after four days I experienced a big loss too. After that, I rested for a while to control my emotions, then I gambled again because for me it is important to control this first before continuing to gamble. Of course you gamble and hope to win, but self-control is also important.

If you have lost, then you deliberately force yourself to gamble again at the same time, which is very dangerous for your emotions and it is possible that losses will come your way again.

In essence, I have also experienced losses in gambling. But I try to stay calm, because if you force it again, you could fall into the category of gambling addiction. You can't control yourself which in the end you only increase your losses and can even end up getting into debt.

There are some reasons which can explain that behavior, to begin with a person could lose several times when they gamble, but if the amount they are using is low then those losses have no effect at all on their finances and they can keep going as if nothing happened, however a more perturbing option is that such person is addicted to gambling, and in that case they will disregard all the money they have lost and they will keep gambling even if they are damaging themselves and others by doing so.

Just be sure that you would really be sticking out into that principle on which you would really be just that staying on gambling for fun until the very end because frequent doing gambling could really be tha resulting for those kind of intents and on which it might really be that ending up on changing later on specially if you are really that making it as a habit on which those intents could changed up overtime and this is something that you should really be that careful because once you do already make yourself that get addicted then it would really be that hard to get out once you have
been that shackled with it. Losing is inevitable and this is why its really that important that you should really be that sensible on what are the things that you do encounter.

You would really be that making yourself that aware or wary about the principle of gambling and on how it should really be treated in the first place on which
it is really just that only for fun.

In any luck based game you will almost always end up losing due to the house edge. Even after losing people might continue gambling due to the thrill that comes with the possibility of making an enormous amount of money in a short amount of time. Some people just want to earn their losses back and that can lead to bigger losses so you must be careful not to lose control or you will end up spiraling downward.

Whenever I've lost big I will just stop gambling for a while and gradually ease back into it later with some smaller wagers.

To be fair I end up gambling even while losing because I accept that I will be losing when I gamble beforehand so when I lose that is not a new information for me and I do not really feel the need to quit just because I lost. I mean if what happens is exactly what you imagine would happen, why would you stop and do something else? You already assumed that it is going to be something like that and you should not be getting anything extra out of that.

If I ever end up winning big, which is rare, then I do not really end up changing my system, I just keep on gambling until I lose that win too. Basically it is all about knowing that you are going to end up losing eventually, so there is really nothing that is extra about it.

Most of the time people forget that when they take 100$ and go to spend it in a bar, they drink beer in that bar, eat everything they can and then leave that bar without the 100$, they didn't make any profit. The money they had, which in this case was $100, was used in the bar and there is no way back. but these people don't go around regretting because they spent $100 at the bar, these people don't run around trying to get back the money they spent at the bar. On the contrary, these people are happy because they had fun at the bar and are talking to more friends about going back to the same bar. the same thing happens when people take money to go watch football games, they don't get angry when the game ends and they go back to their homes

This is actually funny, because a person takes 50$ and goes to watch a football game, after the game is over that person is not sad because they spent 50$ to go and watch the game, on the contrary, that person is very happy and goes back to buy a ticket to watch the game, but when a person takes $50 and goes to bet on the same game and stays at home to watch TV and then the team he bet on lost their bet, he feels sad because he lost money. This is something that doesn't make any sense. There is no reason for this person to be sad

When you take the money and choose to play in a casino, the person must already be aware that they are going to lose that same money. There is no way to win constantly, the chances of winning are always few and people know that. So they shouldn't keep playing when they know that after losing they will be complaining. This is why it is always advised to play with money that the person can afford to lose and always look at gambling as fun, only when the person has fun will they have more motivation to continue playing

Maybe they learn something after all the loses? The reason why they keep losing is unclear to anyone so its possible that they have been gambling with wrong strategy, I believe that if you are a result responsible gambler you won't worry about your losses no matter how many times it happens because the money you risk is nothing compare to a lot of money, so maybe they finally get better and decide to adjust themselves.  

Although some people are so stubborn, they keep losing and they aren't curious why, meaning they won't learn from their mistakes, if you can be aware of yourself about your losses it's because you are using too much money to gamble.

First do some calculation on how much you are earning per month and how much you always spend on bills and food, all these must come first and when there is spare money, even if it's just $2 it's enough for gambling, only increase if you make more money every month.

To be honest, what you're really talking about is a loop that happens all too often. No matter what kind of addiction it is, it tends to turn into a whirlpool of mistakes, exhaustion, and finally, guilt. Why, though? Why do people keep diving in headfirst when they know what will happen? Its kind of hard to resist, isnt it? In gambling, the thrill of the game can make it hard to tell the difference between having fun and losing everything.
I can summarize it through these things and you can verify for yourself because this is almost a truth that few people know:
- greed
- anger
- confusion
Not sure if you've ever heard of it, but if we talk about the main reason why people like to seek pain for themselves, I can use a somewhat spiritual term about 'awakening' to understand the true nature of life, the material circle is a trick and most people fall for it.
 
Now, I completely understand why you want gambling to stay a fun activity. Theres an art to this, if you will, an art of leaving things behind. A danger zone is when you keep losing without understanding whats going wrong. But how can one tell the difference between a small mistake and a huge mistake? What I see. Its important for bettors to keep evaluating themselves and their attitudes. As you correctly pointed out, changing how you think about things is the key to stopping. Not forgetting is not the answer; addressing it is.
I don't like to be unfair but the legalities of gambling are not always well-received in every country, and the problem I see here is what we know and understand very little about it compared to what the casino owners want to tell us. Yep, it could be a change of appearance to serve certain sections of society, and confuse those who are trapped. So it's nothing more than a pure entertainment game from the point of view they say, it's just that we are either being fooled or about to be fooled, the reasons I mentioned above are still waiting for people to realize.

The reason is because they have had a win in gambling before and even as they are losing they will still believe that a day will come when they will hit a big win in gambling that will change their financial situation. Another thing that motivates them is that they see any opportunity for gambling as the deal day they will make the right selection and have a big win from gambling. With this belief, they will go ahead to gamble, and when the result of the gamble is out they will still lose it.

Mostly they experience the so called "Beginners Luck" and that is the most reason why people stays in gambling for a chance of tasting that same luck again.
this mostly happened in New casinos or when you are playing in new casinos as new account.
have tasted this couple of times but I managed to took out my win before completely losing them again.
actually in my most precious site that I am playing till now. but since I know how to manage my gaming these days
I only gamble small amount and if by chance made it to x3-5 then I will stand and leave the table.
practicality and of course living a knowledgeable way in gambling world.

Subjects are people who have suffered from the symptoms of an addict, the infatuation causes them to lose alertness in their behavior and thinking, causing them to always fail, and that keeps repeating until they are exhausted, or they are exhausted. The loss is strong enough to wake them up.

Because I'm a person who likes entertainment in gambling, I don't want that stress because games involving money require careful calculation, but if it's just fun, there's no need to be too harsh. Losing in a game that is repeated many times is completely different from failures that realize it is a mistake, so as mentioned before, a gambling addict needs to change many things about their perception to help them quit. That's a terrible habit of forgetting, and that's not a motivator at all Smiley

Not all people gamble in order to win back their losses. Of course there is a certain percentage of people who have not learned to lose, but the percentage of people who realize that in gambling is impossible only to win is quite large. All gamblers are very different, so someone plays gambling for fun, someone so takes free time, someone dreams of winning a big score and constantly checking luck.

Indeed. There are different types of gamblers. Some are gambling just for the sake of entertainment, some have gambling as form of relaxation and stress reliever, while some use gambling to generate additional source of income. Depending on what's your goal in gambling will somehow dictate the way you play or bet whether it may be passive or aggressive type. It will also depend on your personality and attitude. If you are not much of a risk taker and more of a reserved gambler, most likely there will be a specific budget allocation since you are disciplined and responsible about finances due to repercussions. Meanwhile, if you are an all-out gambler, the chances are high that you are willing to bet and play more if you deem necessary for high returns.

Although it's really essential to realize early on that gambling isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. So better to assess and analyze first the risks and the rewards before diving deep into it.

We have factors responsible for this and some theories that explains why people gamble despite frequent loses. Although some people may be addicted to gambling which can make it very difficult to stop. Some people keep on gambling because they think they've already invested a lot of time or money into it and they feel like they need to keep going in order to make up for their losses but it's not a very logical way to approach gambling. But you know, humans aren't always rational creatures. They always feel that if they keep playing, they'll eventually win back all the money they've lost. But this is not the case because the odds are always against the player and the more you gamble, the more likely you are to lose. And the more you lose, the more likely you are to keep chasing those losses. It's a vicious cycle that can be very difficult to break.

Not all people gamble in order to win back their losses. Of course there is a certain percentage of people who have not learned to lose, but the percentage of people who realize that in gambling is impossible only to win is quite large. All gamblers are very different, so someone plays gambling for fun, someone so takes free time, someone dreams of winning a big score and constantly checking luck.
