Regardless of anything, gamblers get out of hand resulting in addiction because of the inability of becoming a responsible gambler.
Winning or losing doesn't have any difference as gamblers really want to gain "more and more and more" money as much as possible.
When winning, instead of taking a break, still will continue, when losing, will do anything just to bounce back. If only a gambler can think of the best possible ways after winning or losing, there might be a chance not to fall into a much worst situation.
I'm interested in what you said, that in fact that's what we often experience isn't it. my guess, that what you say is part of your experience. Of course, our experiences too. however, sorry if I'm wrong.
Regardless of what you said, there are many gamblers who do not realize that they are already classified as addicted. or, they deny that they are gambling addicts. cases like this, I find a lot in real life. I mean, in my environment. the most interesting part is, winning or losing makes no difference as gamblers are eager to earn money. however, this conclusion seems imprecise. I think, win or lose, they are always obsessed with always getting more results than before in every gambling session. but what happens, usually the opposite. many of the gamblers are out of control which results in the inability to be a responsible gambler. actually, we can also discuss this case from various perspectives. but ideally, should be, gamblers realize what they are doing and are at stake. because of the risks and consequences, they are quite diverse and can have a worse impact.
And, yes, being a responsible gambler is hard enough and not easy. not infrequently, we are often faced with the same situation. but still, those of us who have experience should have good enough self-control and make gambling only part of a hobby.
