The mentality of people who are involved in gambling is only determined by the gambler can't say . If a gambler gains profit, he always thinks about what sector to spend that profit in his mind. If a gambler faces a loss, he can never rest his mind until he recovers that loss.

Uncontentment is human nature and that usually happens in gambling. Most players bet and can't control themselves from betting because of the aim of winning or as they chase the jackpot. Those who put their false hopes into gambling usually focus on their goal and not on their current betting status which usually result in consistent losses.

True that, greed is triggered by uncontentment on the gambling result even though the gambler has amassed ah huge amount of money. They keep on betting until they lose their winnings. Just for example a person who is playing slots online will keep on playing even though he had a maximum multiplier win on one of the slots because they are not contented on the amount that they won and wanted to get more winnings.

If anyone wants to know how much of an online gambler they are, then take a careful view of how money fluctuates in your online account, the loss most times will be very muc unnoticed to you, and also how unwell you probably may be feeling just with a few moments out of data to gamble.
Even though there are other ways,this I have personally experienced from a mate.

One of the common reasons why gamblers face huge losses is that they usually play and gamble based on their emotions wherein they feel overwhelmed when winning and continuously bet and usually chase their losses. It's easy to say that we should gamble wisely but it's hard for those who can't control their emotions when gambling.

Another reason is that many gamblers gamble without any sort of plan and timetable while others do have but they do not follow it. Remember if we are too hooked on gambling we cannot notice the time, and when we are chasing losses, we cannot notice that we are losing more. So I think, proper time management, bankroll management, and self-discipline to stick to the plan are needed to be able to avoid huge losses. And most of all never gamble when you are drunk.

Discipline is all you do need or being aware in regards to your actions and on the things thats happening around because if you do then you wont really be having any problems when it comes to gambling.
If you are really that prepared on losing and able to allocate the only funds or money that you can afford to lose and then you could completely stop as you like which does indicate that you do
really have that a good control of yourself when it comes to this.You wont really be having that addicted person kind of behavior since you are really that good on handling
situations on which some people do really have a hard time on resolving it on their own.

Gambling is all about risk and we should know that everything does not come rosy always. We should always compare our possible loses to gain and weigh them if we will be able to play or continue with the kind of risk we want to take. Gambling should not be a a die affairs so we need to plan very well so that our loses will not make us traumatized. We don't need to gamble with emotions which is one of the things that had made ma y gamblers to fall astray. Let's gamble wisely with good spirits so we can be fortunate.

In a way that unhappiness can be a force which moves people forward to greater heights, for example if someone is not happy with the amount of money they make they can always create a business, become successful and earn more money that way, however such unhappiness can also be a force that moves people towards activities that may instead bring the opposite result, and this is exactly what happens to those that try to make their gambling hobby a profession and then they fail in their attempts.

The gambler mentality can be seen from his behavior when he is losing, usually the gambler starts to become uneasy, his emotions are not controlled and what is worse for gamblers when he loses is frustration. The behavior occurs spontaneously, someone who is addicted to gambling always does silly things that are difficult for other people's minds to digest. Likewise, when you are lucky, the money made from gambling is more often spent on spree without thinking about how much money has been spent on gambling. Gambling is just a game to seek pleasure, but as a result of gambling addiction a person can do something that can harm himself. Gambling using common sense, don't use lust.

Anyone who is gambling minded is as same a trader, because a trader is curious to watch over it's trade and it's desperate about watching of the trade against lost.

A trader, if a real trader, is far from being a gambler. True, they can both lost but the advantage of a trader is, they use skills, knowledge, experience and data to do their jobs. They do not use pure luck to become successful in their field. There is luck but a greater part of their success is because of the knowledge and research they have done. Every move they make is all a calculated risk.

Gamblers, on the other hand, especially casinos, rely mostly on luck. There are very few games that you can use skills to win in gambling. An example is sports betting and poker. In other games, you need to have extreme luck in order to sustain winning.

If you are a gambler, can you really say that you are gambling just for the fun of it and you don't expect money in return? Gambling involves staking money to win additional money.

The word 'fun' in gambling is just a formality, it's the language of eliminating bad behavior in gambling betting, everyone hints like it's 'fun'.

The main thing is:
The purpose of people betting just wants to win and get double the money, I have not met in the real world, people bet just for fun, that's hypocritical, If people are stressed out losing bets I've found it in the real world, obviously gambling is not here for fun, people gamble just for fun they don't experience stress, frustration and so on, means: gamble for money.

It doesn't make sense, how do you equate gambling with traders, how do you define it like that.

Addiction has many factors, one of which is excessive liking or strong desire and urge, addicted people that I often see usually can't control themselves, for addictions if you want to do something you have to.
Example:
Why are people addicted to drug consumption, alcohol addiction, gambling addiction, gadgets, porn videos and so on.

Trading is not like addiction, profit or loss has nothing to do with addiction, trading is more directed to consumer activities and needs, profit and loss is based on market or buyer needs, not addiction.

Online gambling is one such phase that harms as well as benefits people. Many people turn to gambling sites are dependent and many have lost their wealth. Profits and losses exist everywhere because if you want to catch the crap you definitely can Win or lose.
Gambling is not the only thing that drives people to do bad things because if you gamble with experience you will definitely win. Many of you have faced people's problems due to lack of experience

So, what's important of experience in gambling since all of things determined by the system? Remember that if you luck and you will able win some money but otherwise if you didn't lucky enough and you will lose your money.
I don't even think that we need experience as an important thing in this case. That's quite different when you are doing the thing like futures trade.

Experience can help you to control your gambling session, to control your emotion so it will help you to minimize the chance of addiction.
In case of skill based game, experience will improve your skills so you can improve your winning chance.
Believe it or not, experience will help you in both luck based game and skill based game.
It wont help you to win ofc, at least it will help you for a better thing in your gambling activities.

I think he meant about sportsbook or poker since it's a skill based games and with the help of experience, obviously it well help you to know more about the games and will make you better than the first time you have played. It's different with slots where you're play by just clicking the spin button and the result will depends on your luck. There's some strategy to play slots, but it's just more like a money management only.

In my opinion, gambling is no worse than drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco, to which society and many religions are more sympathetic. In all three cases, excessive addiction to these things can negatively affect a person's life and health, but if a person can control himself and his desires, he may well play gambling, drink wine and smoke a pipe and be a decent member of society. In my opinion, it all depends on the individual.

That's true and maybe the third one really has a bad impact on a person's health, finances, and mentality. When they are addicted, it is a position where they find it difficult to control it and have to do what they are used to. I've seen cases of alcohol addiction so severe that the person vomited blood after drinking bottles of alcohol. Smoke tobacco many people are sick because they are addicted to cigarettes. People who gamble lose everything they have. Even their families are destroyed by gambling. This is where the importance of self-control in all things related to addiction before addiction destroys our lives.

Society has some rules that in the long run has proven correct.They,the society see gambling as a bad thing and not necessarily gamblers as bad persons but since these people called gamblers are involved in this bad act then most probably they assume these people to be bad.History has shown us that except those people who won multi million dollars jackpots no one else has been successful in the long run in gambling,this says a lot as why gambling is considered bad by many religions and societies.In gambling you can never earn continuously as no one can control their emotions for a long time without making a rushing bad decision.

Even if this is true (which I strongly doubt), what does this have to do with the interests of individuals? When you buy food, go to the movies or gamble, do you think about the interests of society? Personally, I don't. I know that in most cases my interests and the interests of society are opposite, for example, it would be extremely beneficial for society if I worked all my life for little money and then died on the first day of retirement. But for some reason I don't like this scenario ) If I want to spend money on gambling, then I can do it regardless of what society thinks about it in the short or long term.

I still don't know why many persons think that gambling has a revert effects on us especially when it comes religion. They think that as a gambler, you are a bad person and you have the trait of involving in a bad art which had been the way the society sees gamblers. We gamble to earn and many persons had turned to gambling for a better way to earn without having to work or depends on the government to provide basic amenities. The risk is you either win or lose which had made it difficult for us to continually decide the kind of winning we want.

Do you want to know why many think that a gambler is bad person? because many think that gambling is tantamount to wasting money you have earned by working especially when the person becomes addicted will justify any means to be able to gamble but if you can gamble with good self-control then it will not be a problem but unfortunately, a lot who can't be like that, gambling to earn is not easy and not everything can be like that.

That's traditional mindset imo, I do not think modern people now still think that gambler is bad berson. I cant deny the fact that there are still many people who think like that especially in small villages like where I live now. Not only people think that gambler is bad person, but the government consider gambler as criminal. This is why gambler gets very bad image by people who live in a country where gambling is considered as illegal activity or as a one type of crime.

yes, we agree that it is a traditional mindset, that statement is no longer relevant in the modern era as it is today. and it is not correct to put (statement) that gamblers are bad people.
this claim is one-sided, does not refer to the actual statement, I think the statement is very extreme to be associated with criminals.
As for the bad effects that occur due to gambling activities, most of them only harm themselves or the people closest to them. and that's why gambling still has a bad stigma in all levels of society. despite all that, it is very untrue to judge gamblers are bad people, I think that statement is just a one-sided claim and has no solid basis.

I think the term "bad" is suited for those addicted gamblers, because most of them are irresponsible. They are neglecting their duties as a certain individual just to make themselves happy in a way they are wasting their money uncontrollably. Add the fact that not all of them are playing gambling legally, some of them are illegal, like casinos who doesn't have licenses or just some traditional gambling games.
