Yes, well before I always did something like that, but sometimes the impulse of that one who tells you in the middle: "Bet, you might win more" I would say that sometimes greed plays badly on us because sometimes we get carried away by those things, it's lamentable, that's why I said something, before we play or bet we should set a spending limit for ourselves that we shouldn't go over, this in order to prevent something like this from happening that we ourselves become uncomfortable when playing, and we go from a good experience to a nightmare where we spend more than we should.
Yeah, it is definitely not easy to stop something that you are enjoying, even if you know that in the end it is actually hurting you in a way.
It's similar to alcohol or any other addiction really. It makes you feel good right now, but in the long term you are much worse off in you continue.
Our brains are actually quite bad at quitting addiction, and probably the best way to fix it is to swap it with a positive addiction, like for example getting a runners high instead.
Well, when we know the risk will harm us, but we still do it, I think there are various reasons when someone does that, one of which is because they have prepared money that is ready when they feel defeated. It is different with people who are addicted, they will continue to play even though they no longer have money or the money they use is the last money they have.
Someone who is addicted tends to be driven to continue doing what they want, because their brain continues to influence them while they cannot control themselves. And when all that happens, it might cause new problems, because it allows them to commit crimes and so on, which not only harm themselves but also others.
