I'm sure you're not alone in feeling trapped in that situation, I've felt it too, even other gamblers have also made the same mistake and have recovered losses that shouldn't have been chased, so it only wastes time and money that shouldn't be spent on that, I I know now that gambling is not a place for me to make money but for me to have fun with it, even if I win, think of it as a bonus, but if I lose, think of it as paying for entertainment.

So changing my mindset for the better now is not like before where every time I lost I always felt anxious and wanted to continue gambling in order to recover all the money I lost, that's why I now don't focus on winning and I enjoy the game more, apart from that it limits a special budget every week so that I don't go over the limit and get addicted. It's very risky if you're addicted. The point is, don't get addicted to gambling.

Yes, it's possible that that could be the beginning of him going or getting close to gambling addiction eventually. That is not yet felt at the beginning of a gamble. Often, even though they are addicted to gambling, it seems that they still can't accept that they are addicted to gambling.

That is why it is important for gamblers to have control over themselves. Because if you don't have it for sure when you win, you won't think of stopping playing instead, even more so when you gamble because you will feel that you can beat the banker.

Greed is always a negative factor when dealing in this activity. Gambling can bring enjoyment and a type of entertainment that you are aiming at, but once greed starts to dominate, the fun will change with aggression and the intensity of your desire to keep playing, linking that to how OP describes that with the single win things can change.

Your treatment with gambling will be more about repeating that outcome and once you suffer from failure, it will lead you to keep trying to recover and worse things will come along after.

I think all these boils down to emotions. We should learn not to gamble with emotions attached. the what ifs abound when you're poised to win more or to recover your losses, you personally can tell then that you're no longer enjoying the session as tension is terribly building in your nerves. This is a good time to stop and continue another time, I discipline myself to quit anytime I notice that emotions are taking control of me in a gambling session. to be very honest, controlling emotions is better said than practiced and whenever I sense it heighten, I escape before it gets very destructive. Gambling is for fun alone, winning adds more spice to the fun, but we are humans and greed tends to slide into our emotions, Identifying it and keeping to principles or better retreating temporarily helps a whole lot cos there is a saying that "he who fights and runs, lives to fight another day".

It's Christmas period, I have stopped after my last winning because I didn't expect to win that games which happen first week of the month but after that, ever since then I have not been able to win any bet again and as I calculate the amount I have wagered between then and the time I stopped, I realized that I gamble more than half of what I won and that made me quit instantly, this is what gambling does to people when they have too much hope, when they think they are going to win and win again but many times, it a trap for you to lose more if care is not taken or play without even having much thought about it.

What even game the confidence, I notice that people win a lot of bets during Christmas period, I was exited as I didn't ever though that bet will come through but I never knew it was a trap but I will assumed that I was lucky and the luck didn't happen again and I should have seeing that coming that just because you had a today doesn't mean you are going to have that luck again the next time, always be cautious of your moves to avoid traps.

Greed may be charming. It's thrilling to push boundaries and feel like you're about to win! However, moderation is essential. You stated it - excess is the enemy. Probabilities, not guarantees, are used. Why not play gambling skillfully instead of recklessly? While pushing limits is enjoyable, learning when to pull back distinguishes smart players from irresponsible ones. Satisfaction is an unending pursuit - yes! We're wired to seek the next great win. Gambling's charm is its unlimited 'what ifs' Remember, it's a game, not a certainty. The attraction of bigger rewards? Yes, tempting. Smart players know when to take their riches and leave. Try to play the game, not allow it play you. Gambling thrills, entertains, and offers enormous wins. You should enjoy the ride, not just the goal!

The peace of mind in gambling is when you have played with the amount that won't matter to you if you lose it and then you will see the fun in it. Most people who gamble for fun enjoy it because they have used a lower stake to try their luck like you said you use 1% of your income to gamble but if you try playing with high stake then you will be tempted to chase back your losses when you don't win.  We don't need too much rush for profit because that is the trap we get hooked on, when you play with the amount you can afford to lose, you are sure whatever happens you can wake away easily.

This is one very good way to tackle it. Though, not everyone can be disciplined enough and stick to the 1% because sometimes it gets more interesting and you think you could have won irrespective of the amount you stake. Adding to this, other measure that could help include: setting time limit for gambling (may not gambling more than an hour a day, etc), setting a target amount to meet up (once you reach that amount, you stop and even if you didn’t reach it but just a fraction away, you can stop already so you don’t go losing everything again), and more.

I feel curious about being addicted to gambling, then people who play more and more actively even though they keep losing, I was once caught in a circle like this, spending half my savings just to recover my losses, but it was stopped after I realized, currently I only play 1% of my total income and I enjoy it whether I lose or win

I think greedy behavior will always be inherent in gamblers, exactly what you feel is high curiosity, which makes you greedy and want to dig deeper so you can get even bigger wins. I have also felt like that and I think it is normal as long as we are still alive. being able to realize this will make us learn to be more restrained so that we don't gamble too much and get ourselves trapped in a gambling addiction, because curiosity often traps us.

For them greed cannot be concluded as the main problem that will make them feel more regretful at the end of the session, but usually in the early stages when they are able to achieve victory then they think that greed  becomes an alternative that must be chosen for the sake of a larger amount. Yes of course, luck is always unpredictable after all, as you said and I also admit that greed does not always end in disappointment but there are also some who manage to get a bigger amount because luck is still there, but stilll everything is still gray because there is absolutely no certainty and luck is always unpredictable.

The prohibition against greed refers more to minimizing actions so that you can enjoy the previous victory, because usually something that is done in excess is always bad, especially this is gambling which always depends on luck. If there is certainty and assurance then there is obviously no problem if you want to apply greed. We must understand that the name of satisfaction has no end point, which means that  even if you  are able to get a large amount then obviously after that your hopes  and expectations will also be even greater while on the other hand gambling still depends on luck. That's why we should emphasize limits and control, because the more often you receive results that are not in accordance with your wishes, the deeper you will fall into the abyss..

Money and the time that you will going to spend when you are inside the casino, I see your point that you should be liable to any action that you should be going to decide each time you place your bets, as human, there's always emotion to expect and you should know and understand that having the right control will help, though with how OP see describe things like when you experience your first win the adrenaline change up, better to skip that and not to allow any changes from how you set things up before you enter the house.


That amount you place as budget for your gambling session, it should be all and nothing to exceed, as if you change that way and add more, temptation will eat you and will push you to keep adding more when you suffer from defeats, you also need to understand that control over and keep it dominated by your own will.

Reckless gambling starts after a win round

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts? Yes, it happens to me too and it is one of the reasons why I'm addicted to earning money fast like gambling.

I remember yesterday I played Plinko and had time to win x22 in single ball but what Im doing was not to take profit but rather to go till balance reached 0 hahah what a joke. the greed is win again.

Greed is a serious problems for a gambler. If they have tasted victory, they will continue to try to win more than their first wins. Indeed, no one knows whether luck is still there or not because luck cannot be predicted. Sometimes there are people who can wins more because they feel that luck is still on their side, but sometime there are also those who cannot increase their winnings and instead just run out so that they don't get the winning. This is what influences a gambler, if they feel satisfied they should be able to stop and withdraw the money, but if they are not satisfied they will continue their activities until they get the win they hoped for.

But I'm not sure that because is a person natural attitude, even though they can win large amounts, they will still feel dissatisfied with what they get because greed will always be in their minds, no matter how big they win they will still continue and they will stop if run out of money and don't get anything. This is what is called a reckless gambler, they should not have a greedy attitude because being greedy will only cause harm to yourself because you will feel continuously dissatisfied and it is not impossible that greed will cause someone to become an addicts.

It is something I have also noticed, but to this day I have assumed to be a biased and inaccurate perception when comes to the amount we risk and the wins we get. I am more inclined to think of it as a psychological phenomenon than an actual thing going on in the background of the casino for us to lose our money faster. Though, I have seen people on the internet and also here in Bitcointalk who suggest the staff of some shady casinos actually take into consideration the wagered amount of each user, so their can decrease their chances of winning then the gambler has got confident enough to risk even more than he usually does.
If any casino or game provider actually did so, it would not be different from fraud, in my opinion. That is just another reason for all of us to consider to stay in reliable casinos with a long history in the industry and also only go for probably fair games when we are dealing with bug enough amounts of money. If more gamblers learn how to verify the provably fair systems of their games, there would be less shady places thriving anf less baseless acusations against reputable casinos.

Donations. That's what I always hear from chatters on the gambling site that I used. They are donating their money to the gambling site so that the owner will continue to get rich. Well, it's gambling, sometimes we win and more often we lose. In my opinion, chasing losses has always been a big factor in gambling addiction and so does reckless gambling, not just after a win. Why? Because we tend to make higher bets thinking we can get all our losses back in just one sweep. I don't think there are gamblers who have successfully done this. Let's say they win, greed will overcome them next thinking they can repeat the same strategy as the martingale. Not even considering that it's a type of technique for those who have deep wallets only. It never worked especially on gambling sites which also knew this technique.
Once, I saw a player who did it in a Crash game, I didn't bet at that time because I just wanted to see where it would go, sadly it went south until I didn't see his name anymore for a few rounds. He is the one crushed by the game. Recently, I've tested increasing and decreasing bets, each amount for 1000 rounds, and all I can say is, that when we decrease our bets we tend to get more of the win while increasing it means the percentage gets lower. I've only done it in an original slot game, I am not sure if the same thing can happen in other games.

Yes, it should be excitement that defeats the odds and not excitement that is defeated by the odds, because if that happens or if you have a mindset like that then obviously all you think about is how to make the odds into a reality that you always wanted, but isn't gambling just a place for fun? Of course, and for those who take the odds too seriously then usually  only suffer a lot of defeat, we must understand that it is nothing more than a "chance" which means it is still uncertain and there is no guarantee at all to materialize especially according to what you expect.

With the success of winning, it is clear that not a few gamblers think as you say that they think and assume that they have found the right way to conquer gambling by bringing home the winnings, without realizing that there are other things, especially the greater impact that they will suffer in the long run. Basically any situation that occurs in gambling will be very likely to change a person's mindset and beliefs, and what is more likely is to turn fun gambling into an activity to earn, which will they choose between real fun without significant risk or make a place to earn with a much higher level of risk? usually more people choose point  number two in this case, and that is the reason why many suffer large losses. There are many dangers waiting for us and that's why it's always important to be firmly in control and not overdo it.

Hmm yes that's usually true, gamblers will do reckless actions when they are able to achieve or manage to get a win, they can breathe a sigh of relief because their struggles are not in vain in that session, the sensation and explosion of endorphins in the brain really make them feel great, but this is where it all starts.

Greed is the first thing that will be chosen, doubling bets and increasing expectations, none other than that they do because they want to get a much larger number of wins at the expense of previous wins that are used as capital, but on the other hand do you know that they do not know at all whether luck is still there or has disappeared? unknown and all of that is out of control, they will only be able to find out whether they are still lucky or not in that session when everything is over, or that means the act of greed they do is finished and usually the results are more disappointing than expected. You have to believe that regret always comes at the end and if you don't want to feel that way then obviously it's better to cash out early than go home in tears, it's all about probabilities mate so just think about it and consider, everyone is going to be in a winning situation but unfortunately some of them are not able to enjoy their winnings because they always apply greed.

Well bro, you said it, whenever we are in a casino we always have to give our all, first of all we must assume that the most important thing is money, there is no other way, money in a casino is what it is gasoline for a car, and we have to be careful, there is no other way, if we don't take care of the money in a casino things can hardly go well, without money in the casino the party ends and nothing do, then as a player I see what should be seen first, having money, secondly, we are people who when we enter a casino it is known that we are mature, of legal age where every single thing we do we have to assume the corresponding responsibility, and when it comes to betting, it is obvious what we are betting is money, so we must be very careful, because as I said, without money there is nothing to do, so to avoid all this, we have to first know and be okay with these things.

Then it is good to do what you have to, have the money willing to lose, follow the rule that if the money you are willing to lose in this case you should not put more money in the casino, because it would be going against our own beliefs. rules, then what you should do is, firstly if you lost, assume that you lost, it is normal to lose in a casino, if you win, then withdraw the money and discuss, it is as simple as that, see the casino as a service of fun, it is necessary to see it like that, because if they start to see it as a system where you can receive income, it is totally incorrect and a lot is being lost, you have to be very careful with those things, because I have seen people who leave work alone for dedicating themselves to the casinos and they are not doing well at all, even in the smallest sports bets they may have a better chance of winning, but even so things have to be taken very moderately, in casinos things are always like that.

You cant blame out people on having this kind of perception on which we know that once you do step your foot into gambling field and with those few wins will really definitely spark out that kind of greediness that you do have inside on which it is really just that normal since we are just human beings.It is really just that people do mess up just because they cant really be able to get a hold of themselves and ending up on making up decisions which arent really that sensible on doing so. Whenever we are on that situation on which experiencing those winning streaks then we would really be already having those thoughts that we can really do this stuff in long time, this is where desperation would really be kicking in.
