That's the cycle of life being a gambler. We have to realize that there's no way we can always beat the house. They're the real winners here so if we win some, take time to cash out and don't forget to enjoy that money that we've got.
The point is not to get too fixated on gambling because in the end this will only make us someone who is only obsessed with what happens in the game that takes place and this clearly will not be profitable in the long run because the risk of gambling addiction is clearly very large.

I agree with what you said because after all, the bookie is the real winner and we must realize that even if we win, it does not mean that we have won from the bookie but we have only won from other gamblers who have bad luck because regardless of whether we lose or win in gambling, the bookie will still make a profit because this is their business and we as players are only a driving force to keep their business running.

Don't be too naive and heartened when we manage to win because it won't have any effect on those gambling bookies who always profit in every movement (gambling) that we do.
That is the true thing in gambling. If someone thinks that they've won against the bookie, there are folks that have lost in return of our wins. This isn't something new that many have realized already but that's how it goes and if someone finds victorious winning in a casino, let them think what they want to think as long as they don't get addicted.
The problem is that when we have high expectations because we consider ourselves victorious against the bookie, we feel that we can win at every opportunity and this can make the situation worse because addiction can be even more likely to occur.

Addiction occurs sometimes because we are too confident that in the end we can beat the bookie which when the reality does not match our wishful thinking, it will make us too obsessed with the gambling that is done so that we forget the responsibilities or things that we have to take care of in gambling just because we are fixated on the thought that we will win from the bookie.
Winning is an expected thing but that does not mean we can get a win from the bookies because in the end something like this is clearly a mistake where the bookies will continue to win in every action we take in gambling.

Addicted gamblers know how to place bets in gambling but after placing bets, if they lose or win the bet, they do not have the attitude to take a break. They always decide to bet on gambling all the time. A proper and conscious gambler will never bet on gambling for money but entertainment will be of utmost importance to him. An addicted gambler does not realize that he is on the wrong path if he is led on the wrong path, but if someone shows him the right path, it must be a source of resentment for him.
I don't know, but what you said is true. I once gave advice to a close friend of mine to stop when the last round was over. that's because he had lost quite a lot. but he ignored it and continued to deposit again.
I could only let him continue the game and get more losses.
the chances of winning for an emotional gambler to recover his losses in the game are clearly very small. the game will no longer be fun and will actually bring pressure. that's what makes gamblers unable to think logically.
Whether we have gambling addiction or not, we should always ensure we gamble without being emotional because that is one of the reasons why we get so loses for no reason. We might be trying to hard to make money from gambling but due to the emotions that are out into gambling, it will be influencing our gambling activities making us to keep gambling in the wrong games. Those who can control their emotions will be able to stay disciplined without gambling anyhow, maybe because the team involved inms their favorite team.

We know how sometimes we enjoy playing games and see if how luck will continue to shine but sometimes we just have to learn to reduce our quest of chasing the bag because it is better you realize that gambling is not a place to chase the bag, the chasing of the bag is now as if it's a trap and it actually one because when you go to dip in gambling it takes a lot to recover your self. And if you are close to be that are addicted there is no advice you will give them that you will give them that will and they will keep playing even if they lose and one thing with addiction is that even if you will don't be surprised that you might lose the money while trying to win more instead of resting after a win they want to continue playing. People that play with emotion with the believe that when they lose they will recover everything are only deceiving there selfs, the better they accept the reality of failing than try to cover it up, just know how you value gambling and you are safe.

The results are going to be the same. They will come back no matter how ugly the results are. And they might justify their actions as if they're having a business so that they can make more money from what they have been doing but the opposite results are always up for the addicted ones.

Indeed, they keep on trying and if sometimes they manage to win, they will think that they will keep that momentum and then again the outcome turned against them and they will keep repeating that same scenario and will keep losing more money.

Not everyone got noticed of it when addicted, except when someone notify them before they were able to deduce what is wrong, which in other ways, we may feels that some are making gambling and to then is as the usual and normal ways, while to others, they are seeing the interpretation of something else, that is why we have to listen to some ideas as well as suggestions given to us by some people around us, because they would have noticed something and wanted us to act on that by notifying us.

It all depends on how honest a person can be with himself, addiction is not only gambling, in the life of each person there can be his own addiction, but most often we understand well what we are addicted to, and only some of us can completely abandon these addictions. More often these are attempts to stay within some acceptable limits that will not become a problem for us and our environment.

the chances of winning for an emotional gambler to recover his losses in the game are clearly very small. the game will no longer be fun and will actually bring pressure. that's what makes gamblers unable to think logically.

The reasons why your friend intend to continue gambling despite the losses , is because his first deposit was funds he couldn't risk that easy so losing something like that may lead him to become too emotional, and continue gambling without thinking properly, which is very bad because in the means of trying to get those losses back , you may endup increasing your losses.

So is better to stick with the normal gambling principle which is gamble with what you can afford, so that whenever you endup losing it won't hit you that much and you can easily move on with such losses .
Chasing your losses is not the best way for you to limit your losses, but rather quitting the game and accept your losses is the best way. There's no guarantee that you will win back your losses, so why making yourself vulnerable to morr losses. However, don't see it as a defeat or get angry whenever you lose your bet, but take it that you weren't lucky enough and have a time limit.

If we are open to such kind of criticizm then it will be more easier to us accepting what's changes is happening to us, there are gamblers who take time analyzing what other's observation and if needed they act right away and change the tempo of their gambling participation, while other doesn't care and only regrets once they lose a lot.

Addicted gamblers are aware that defeats are more often than of winnings. But there is no way that they'll stop from doing so. That's already part of the routine and they will never stop until they have realized a lot of things already that they've been doing wrongly. Dopamine levels surely are increasing and that makes them more excited and seems like no one can't stop them.

They keep on coming back with that same treatment, trying to win money either to recover previous loses or to earn decent but the fact that addiction already triggered inside their mindset there's no limitation that can be executed and along the way that same outcome will happen to them, addiction leads them to a pointless direction just keep on pushing and keep on betting, there's nothing aside from favoring that satisfaction that they wanted to achieved while playing the game.

Just like what the post above you, gambling is a well-known established business and even how good you think you are there's always a good adjustment that the algo will run and eventually will beats the strategy that you are using.

That's the common dilemma of most gamblers. How to stop when they want to place one more bet. And that one more bet will continue up until they lost all his bankroll. If you won't set a limit every session, the tendency is to continue your game up until you have no more to spare. So be strict with yourself as much as you can before you incur financial problems.
Yep. It is very necessary to set a limit for the funds and the time in every season. If we have no limit, we probably bet excessively. This won't be good because this will lead to losing huge money.

By the way, it is related to a self-control in gambling. Without a good self-control, we will spend everything and end up with no money anymore. Those people who can't stop to play gambling when they already spent too much money and time, they aren't ready to deal with gambling challenges. Or it may be the sign that they are already addicted in gambling due to playing gambling excessively. Sometimes, this needs help from the close people of the gamblers. You must understand that sometimes we need to let our close people about our gambling activity. So, when we have a problem with gambling, they can help us and remind us to stop it temporarily!

#4 Inability to stop: I can gamble and still stop when I’ve had enough. Gambling addicts might not be able to do that. They will continue gambling and maybe even make up excuses for it such as “I will just take back what I lost” and many more.
I think everyone would have their different body signs when it comes to addiction. Most of those mentioned above are common but the most common one is the inability to stop. When someone becomes addicted, they keep telling them selfs when they loss they they should just try again and maybe the next would be their lucky game. Unfortunately they keep playing and playing until they eventually loss too much and realizes that they have become addicted. This is where self control comes into play. We need to be able to control our selfs in times like this to avoid losing too much.

You have highlighted the right issue in gambling. Self control is essential in gambling, if one has no self control then he will keep putting money to recover for losses and end up losing everything. Self control mean you have control over money and will not blindly betting again and again. There is nothing wrong to gamble provided you can stop yourself at the right time. The reason why gambling is not widely accepted is because it takes all your money.

For those who can contain their gambling activities, they will surely stop when they need to. But for those addicted ones, they will continue to play even if they depleted their bankroll. This is why, they will resort to other options like borrowing or for some, they go to the extent of selling assets or stealing to continue their desire to play.

Not all gamblers are able to understand that they are addicted. That is why they lose more. The first thing that should be emphasized is that he must set a limit to gambling.
Gamblers know how to gamble, but they don’t find out the correct time to stop gambling. The addiction grows so much that, they think, if they place one more bet, they might win a good amount. But they need to understand that gambling needs to be stopped at a certain time. This can be easily achieved if they themselves become responsible. Set daily profit goals, and along with this, also set loss margins. If you lose money till this level, then you won’t gamble for a while. Gambling is all about luck, so it doesn’t really matter at what frequency you place the bets.

If a gambler comes to you for money and you have the money that you wish to give, you should give them but never expect them to return it. If they return it that fine and if they don't that's still fine because you have already made your mind from beginning that you aren't expecting the money from them. That's the only way you can be free from any friend that is a gambling addict.
Only someone who's extremely rich can do something like that because when someone gives money to someone then that person expects to get his/her money back. In case if someone makes his/her mind to donate some money to a gambler then that would work but in most other cases something like that never happens.

Even when it comes to money, you and I both will think twice or many times before lending some money to a gambler whom we know would not return the money that we lend. Lenders are there to earn interest and that's the reason behind lending them money. If lender doesn't get their money back and or interest then why would they even lend someone money.
Look my friend, you don't have to be rich, have alot of money to be nice to people financially, that is, you are wrong is you believe it's only extremely people that give other people money and forget about it, I am not rich, but yet, I can't count how many people, both known and unknown, that I have given money and never asked for it back, this is not to brag, but just to let you know that, giving is all about having a generous heart, and not about being extremely rich as you said or assumed.

Now, when it comes to lending money to a gambler, it still is a personal choice or decision, you can have a friend who is a gambler, and some issues came up and he needs your help, would you say no simply because he is a gambler? Even when you are more than capable of helping him?

I understand that some gamblers hardly pay off their loan with out a fight, but if I will have to lend a gambler money and don't want to fight before I get it back, I simply will not give him the amount he is asking for, I will give him the amount I can part with and ask him to keep it and don't pay it back, simple.

Yes, it is most likely like that, as you might expect that it seems like he has never felt in a position of true addiction, it is very unlikely for a gambler who is already addicted to still feel okay when they experience a big loss, even a small loss can make them emotional and continue to play with various actions and decisions that are much more aggressive, the point is that addiction is a situation where defeat is a result that will never be easy to accept regardless of the amount, and that is the reason why gamblers who are already addicted are very vulnerable to doing various unexpected actions that sometimes even threaten their own lives.
I think that the amount will matter, if it is so insignificant that it does not matter to the player, then the loss will not have any negative impact. The very understanding that you have lost can be upsetting, but if it does not bring tangible financial losses, then it is difficult to become addicted to this.
To do this, you need to play for big money and hope to make a profit from it, and later after losses, hope to win back. The worst thing is when the player understands that he is constantly losing, but continues to play, this is addiction.

Yes and that is the real reason why we are always advised to gamble with a minimum amount, none other than so that we do not feel upset and emotional when it turns out that the results are really lost, and another reason is so that we avoid various aggressive actions and decisions that can lead us to a much worse situation that has a serious impact on our financial situation. On the other hand, I am very sure that one of the reasons gamblers continue to play even though they realize that they always lose is that they are typical irresponsible gamblers, or cannot accept the fact of defeat until finally emotions continue to drive them to try again in the hope of being able to return the previous defeat, and usually those are gamblers who come with the wrong understanding.
