When we gamble we feel all the emotions, like when we feel excited when we are chasing our losses, feeling happy when we won a big amount, feeling depressed when we lose and we feel frustrated when what we expected to happen did not materialize, this is one of the reasons why we cannot stop gambling because we feel all the emotions.
Do you agree that we cannot stop gambling because it completed all our emotions and do you have other feelings when you gamble.
Oh definitely! Gambling triggers all sorts of emotions (e.g. anger, happiness, fear, anxiety, etc.) and that is one of the reasons on why people love gambling.
Take this as an example: whenever you try to do an extreme sport, you are scared initially of trying it out. But once you have tried it, there is this feeling of relief where you have accomplished something that was seemingly impossible but you triumphed on the end. These waves of emotions can also be felt while a person gambles- the adrenaline of waiting, the anxiety while betting your money, and the happiness/sadness that you feel in the end after you have won/lost your bet.
This is practically the reason on why some people use gambling as a form of entertainment.
when people keep saying: "don't put emotions in games or any investment" people are not lying, as hard as it may seem to be able to not put feelings when playing, one has to be able not to put feelings when playing. the moment he puts money in the game, the person needs to say to himself: "this is a lost money, I won't miss it and I won't care about it" and when the person loses all the money he used in the game, he won't feel sadness or any other negative emotion, and if the person wins in the game, he will only see the money increase, but it will not create high expectations, he can even use the profit to spend on something in the real world. but always keeping in mind: "money you put in the casino to play is money lost"
After all in the market of cryptocurrencies we can gamble with amounts of money which are very small, so not only you can get a lot of fun out of casinos, your expenditures can be quite small if we compare them to other hobbies you may enjoy.
Now that you mention it, sometimes I watch people, and I see the following: there are people who, when the day comes to receive their salary, take 25% to have fun, on this list of fun for these people are: alcoholic drinks, short trips something for a few days (on weekends) night walks. the funniest thing about it is that I don't see anyone criticizing when these people come home drunk that they can't even stand or walk, but if a person takes 25% of their salary to have fun and on the list of fun they have: "casinos and gambling" then there will be a huge list of people criticizing. It's strange how society thinks and acts
