I can confirm that the action scenario you are talking about is the approach that addicted gamblers have, where it is always difficult to control themselves in any situation, whether they win or lose, they will usually take various actions that will harm themselves. themselves, such as returning to betting when they have won, which of course is clear that this is an action that will indirectly only lead to significant regret.
In fact, I am sure that if we count all the wins and losses while we are involved in gambling then it is very likely that the number of losses will definitely be much greater, especially for those who are addicted, because it is clear that in gambling the percentage of wins is much smaller than the losses and this is why the losses happens much more often than winning. Experiencing defeat is not a problem because after all losing is part of gambling, but when the amount you lose is very large then of course it is a serious problem that must be resolved immediately, therefore we must not become addicted gamblers.
On the time or moment that you do find yourself do really failed up on stopping or simply having that control towards gambling activity, then its a solid sign or simply tells that you are already that addicted into it.
Some people could be able to stop or make some pause or break but majority will really be that failing on doing so since not all would really be that good when it comes to self control and moderation when it comes to gambling dealing. This is why this industry is really that profitable due into this kind of behavior of most gamblers is on that they do really fail on stopping on the moment that they are already spending too much money.
Its true that the real winners on here is into those people who do able to make withdrawals on the time or moment that they are winning but of course those winnings would really be that make use into those more viable things rather than on spending it back into the casino or betting site.
Also, gambling is really just that for fun and entertainment and if you are someone who do have that kind of different approach towards gambling then this is where it starts on making yourself that delusional.
You would really be thinking that winning is really just that easy and on the moment that your loses keeps piling up then this is the time that you will really be having that chasing those loses
until you would be finding yourself on a tough situation because of the actions that you are really that taking on.
The difficulty of controlling yourself and applying limits in your approach to gambling occurs because from the start you are too focused on winning, or what I mean is that you most likely misunderstand gambling so that over time this misunderstand makes you have the wrong approach to gambling. This means that some people who always find it difficult to stop in any situation, especially when they lose, are those who are too focused on winning or misunderstand what "opportunity" is.
So the key to being able to control yourself or to be able to stop at the right time is that you must first understand that winning is nothing more than an opportunity or something that will not always happen according to what we expect, because when you understand this, I am sure that when you succeed in winning in one of the sessions you do, the main thing you think about is "cashing out" because of the fear of losing again when you try to apply greed. Apart from that, yes, I agree with you that logically gambling is nothing more or is recommended to only be used as an entertainment activity, because there is no certainty or guarantee to always win.
