Yeah, and it's a first sign that the gambler might be addicted as well if he can't take it on himself and blame others for what he has done and lose his money. And I can't really understand their logic though, I mean they are the one who plays for it, regardless if it is slot games or some sports beating.

This is just an excuse obviously, and then they will continue to gamble. And the funny thing is that if they won, they won't blame anyone and then really tap themselves in the back and tell that they did a good job  . On the contrary, if they lose again, they will have to find something to accused of like bring some bad luck to them.

It is important to take notice of our emotions and how they affect the decisions that we take, when people are emotional they take all kind of decisions which deep down they know are a mistake, but at the time they do not think about it as they are fixated on getting their way no matter what, however once they calm down they realize their mistakes and now instead of just moving on and accept them they want to correct them, which leads them through another round of losses.

There are lot of such gamblers who are not willing to see their own defeat and even if they lose in gambling, they try to blame it on others and want to prove themselves that they didn't lose by his own thought. Even if the gambler does not understand his own intelligence, it does not take time for others to understand. By making excuses and blaming others only strengthen conflict but for gambling which is never good. A gambler should accept defeat and should figure out what was the correct decision considering his mistakes. A gambler must take these steps carefully.

It's not easy to accept loss for a gambler because he has to be able to lower his ego simultaneously, especially since his emotions are running high and he can't think rationally. He may have lost a lot of money but he doesn't realize it because he still wants to win so he keeps trying even though he has lost before. I don't know what was on his mind but he just wanted to gamble even though he realized it could make him lose more. And when he tried all the ways but nothing worked, he ended up with deep despair and frustration because he couldn't win the game he liked. By then, he may have become so badly addicted to gambling that it's hard to help unless he notices it himself.

In my opinion all these distractions are excuses that are usually used by people who are weak in spirit. If a person has a goal, he will pursue it to the end and neither wind nor inconvenient position will prevent him from doing so. This is also the case in gambling. One gambler recognizes the mistakes made during the gambling session, and the other is constantly looking for someone to blame, because he does not want to appear weak in the eyes of others. In my opinion, this is just a defense mechanism that does not work very well.

We usually fail to understand because of desperation and chasing losses. Most of us become too emotional and have been controlled by it which causes us to commit more mistakes and losses. I can admit that I was in that situation before and I thought that gambling more and spending more would help to recover losses but in the end, I'm the one suffering the most while the house takes all my money. The more we become disappointed, the more the house loves us.

The word comfortable is very hard to attached on gambling since you are risking money at all times even with small amount. Small bets means small wins

I can't stand skipping breakfast and depriving myself from going to sleep when my body is already looking for the bed. I feel like there's some sort of addiction in this kind of situation, as he is trying to harm himself, disregarding what's essential to feed ones desire. Well, I hope it does not get worse.
I know losing is very frustrating, but there's only one thing I know that's been very effective for many people, just like you I tend to take a break and have a breather, eat delicious food and drink a little, sleep early and bounce back in the morning. Chasing losses no matter how huge or how big it is, doesn't end up well.

Some of the things you mentioned like waking up very early without food in your stomach or gambling late at night, I didn't go as far as that. But there was a time I used to gamble a lot on sport betting, I would spend hours picking and analysing my games only for it to be ruined by one games just few hours after kickoff. This kept on and on and my losses were piling up, it got to a point that I decided to take a break to clear my head and it worked. Whenever I'm doing something and I realize that it's taking much of my time and not giving me the right results, I would just abandon it and maybe come back some other time.

Gambling does not cause harm to those who understand gambling. They know their chances of defeat are high. They are not even optimistic to get from gambling. But like you, I would say that those who try to understand gambling as deeply as possible will succeed in gambling even if they don't win. When they lose money in gambling they consider it as a part of their gambling activities. But if one gambles only to win without understanding gambling then at some point they will lose their wealth they just consider it as a source of income that should avoid. Everyone needs to have a good idea of how gambling should be perceived and not just about money should know how it works.

Breaking routine describes all those possible mistakes.  Not that it has to be unlucky just seems to go that way when you dont play the way you feel most comfortable doing so.  I would add small advice if you are out of your comfort zone, reduce size never be against in effect taking some profits by reducing the capital amount risked trying to win more.    I tend to stop after a while so I can return later otherwise getting too tired is a big one to induce unnecessary mistakes.

We are just humans and it would really be just that normal that you would really be that having that kind of reaction on which it would really be leading into those impulsive actions.If you are a type of person on whose really that good when it comes to emotion handling then you could really be able to assess on what are the things that you must do in order to prevent more damage on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be  able to assess and thats an advantage for you compared on other people who do fail on doing so. This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be that knowing on how to control your temper and would really that crucial on these kind of times. Impulsive emotions would really be leading to impulsive actions which would be leading into more severe condition which you might be having a hard
time to recover specially if the damage is severe specially on financial state.

We usually fail to understand because of desperation and chasing losses. Most of us become too emotional and have been controlled by it which causes us to commit more mistakes and losses. I can admit that I was in that situation before and I thought that gambling more and spending more would help to recover losses but in the end, I'm the one suffering the most while the house takes all my money. The more we become disappointed, the more the house loves us.

There is no one anyone can feel entertained without anything in their stomach, that is something else, if you found yourself with such a habit, you are no more enjoying your gambling, it's turning into something else, and you need to stop.

I derive pleasure from playing games online, either free to play, gambling or play to earn type of games, but when I feel sleepy that's the end, no matter what I have in mind my sleep is very important for me, if you are losing sleep for gambling purposes, fam you are on your road to addiction.

No matter how much we love gambling, we need to take the proper approach and have live a good way while we do it,

I’m still tracking all my human error that keeps me giving a regular losses when I’m on this condition. Do you have something like this?

yes, but do you agree with "gambling is all about luck"? you say the more hours someone has in gambling the more they win, that means it's like any other kind of business that if one is willing to go through the process then they can succeed. Honestly, I can't understand what you're saying, I think everyone agrees that gambling is all about luck, because if it was a matter of time or the longer they've been there the better their chances of winning then there would be a lot of people doing it, and I don't think there would be any painful news from the majority of addicted gamblers.

Well that's right, as you said above, gambling machines are designed to benefit the casino itself, that's clear and not to dominate the winnings of the gamblers, I think from this alone it's clear whoever they are, no matter how long they are there until maybe they understand everything in my opinion it doesn't affect at all to create a lot of winnings. I believe in saying it all comes back to their own luck. I agree with that statement, and yes basically casino machines are made to benefit the casino itself, but that's not entirely because they have to spend a small amount of money to give gamblers there.
I agree to say that winning is the thing that will keep them coming back to do it, so I don't think it's possible for them to lose a lot, even they (gamblers) are willing to sell their houses to gamble, if they understand it can make them win a lot, but yes okay I understand, everyone has their own perception.
