Topic: When does the moment come when the gambler loses control? - page 2. (Read 845 times)

For me, I was emotional and lost control, it came unexpectedly and suddenly, when I was carrying out gambling activities, I experienced bad luck.

As the OP said, there is also some truth in 'loss' but other things can also happen when we prioritize greed in gambling, I can also feel that it is out of control, when I want to reach level to level and want to achieve big profits.

Other things that can happen out of control can also happen when you want to try playing another game, which according to belief can achieve big wins and things out of control happen when we hope never happen, that's why it's important to be able to control yourself in gambling, to prevent things getting out of control.

It's very funny when you go in playing for profits and after the loses inquired, the whole feeling of profits gets out of your head and the fight for your own funds start kicking and on that moment you are emotional destabilize and nothing you will ever try will work out for you. And if you don't know how to control yourself you could go all out and lose your whole bank role in just few seconds. The gambler is just eager to recover from his lost and forget the more he tries the deeper he gets involved.

This seems to be a common situation for gamblers who don't grasp the risks involved and refuse to acknowledge that losses are part of the game. It's an undying issue in the gambling world for many irresponsible gamblers spending more than their actual budget. Unfortunately, some even reach the point of blaming gambling for their misfortunes rather than reflecting on their own approach to it.

        -  Since I have never been addicted to gambling, maybe I was almost led in the direction of becoming an addict because I felt the urge to continue playing when I experienced a series of wins, but the amount I was winning was only small.

That's why my desire to continue is increasing, and I feel the heat that it's really good to play gambling and make easy money only when you experience the feeling of being lucky on the day you play gambling. But when I noticed that it wasn't right, I realized that I shouldn't continue with that feeling.

On the time that you are in the verge n winning big then you would really be mainly thinking that winning is just easy, you do still have funds on your wallet which do came from in thin air.
Therefore, you would really be making yourself that confident and ends up on playing even further and trying out to seek for another win and this is a very typical scenario or situation.
You would really be able to lose control if you are a type of person whose really that not good when it comes to handling your emotion or having that disciplined mind.

You are really that prone to mistakes and errors just because you arent really minding about those probabilities or cases on which you would really be that trying out to achieve
even if its already not a viable or have those possibilities to happen. Losing up control is a no go in gambling field, you should really be that responsible as much as possible
specially with your finances because if you dont then expect huge losses.

When we get big profits, of course the money has no value because we will continue to play and want to make bigger profits. And I have felt this. Likewise, when we experience defeat we continue to chase or recover the losses we have so that what happens we cannot control which makes the losses even bigger, I have also experienced this. But now I have learned from experience and can control every game, both when I lose and when I win.

I think we have been in both positions as you describe, not being able to control when gambling or losing control and this is normal. However, for those who want to think and reflect, they will not want to be trapped twice in the same problem, because they have turned their mistakes into experience for the future.

Yes, that's all true, many gambling addicts become that because they want to recover their initial losses, they don't realize that what they are doing has actually plunged them into bad behavior. In fact, not all gamblers are able to return their initial capital, they only do things in vain and many even incur large debts. However, trying hard to return gambling capital is a hard job, it is not that easy, it even tends to create traps which leads to gambling addiction.

If attracted from these two views, in my opinion there is a common thread that we can conclude as the main context of the habit of losing control, which is greed, I think it's a more appropriate sentence for your two views and op, no matter the big or small victory Get, if basically has greedy properties it will crash into a stone that makes them lose what has been won.

But it should also be remembered that it happened to those who wanted a victory from the gambling they did or could be said the purpose of gambling from the beginning, but for those who seek pleasure in gambling I think winning and losing for them is not the main thing, and certainly not There is the term loss to those who have such principles in gambling, so there is no loss of money from the defeat that is pursued or seeking victory in gambling.

Yes, it has become a kind of routine that gamblers do every time they want to start gambling so it will only lead to loss of self-control. Every time they gamble, it will increase emotional impulses, but if they can control themselves, they will not be provoked to exceed their limits. However, many gamblers end up crossing their limits until they become addicted to gambling. Only with good self-control can gamblers avoid losing a lot.

A gambler who can control himself will smile to see that he can anticipate a lot of losses and can take good care of himself while he is gambling. Especially if he has had bad experiences before and really wants to learn good self-control so that he will not lose control of himself and can even enjoy gambling as usual. He also won't be tempted to use too much money in gambling because he knows it won't give him good results.

I think in gambling an individuals losses his emotions and its normal because it is not possible that once you gamble then you will not be able to forget your loss and also if you win fortunately then will think to gambler once more to increase this amount. I never saw a person who will say that this present amount of money is enough for him because desires are developing day by day and never ends.

One way of reduction of addiction is that people should not use that amount again for gambling which he win and also should not spend money more than your budget. Gambler but not having bad addiction will gamble but not all the time but he gamble for just few hours in a day and will not increase this time ever.

Gambling addiction is a condition that usually occurs not after a win but after a high loss or losing several times in a row on a regular basis. In particular, in the two cases I mentioned the gambler generally begins to gamble more with the ambition of regaining the money he/she lost and as the loss increases the level of addiction increases accordingly.

We can see that especially people who make large winnings rarely become addicted to gambling because many gamblers don't spend it on gambling again when they make a large profitable profit. Of course, in some cases people who earn high amounts of money continue to gamble, thinking that it is that easy to earn money and unfortunately they may become addicted to gambling.

In addition to these two situations, we can see that gambling addiction occurs in some people with the ambition to make money. A person starts gambling with the aim of making a lot of money easily and becomes addicted to gambling due to his/her greed for profit.

A budget is really necessary when you gamble, because if you don't have it and you just keep chasing your losses, your money will really run out in that situation. Chasing your losses is a bad thing, you can get into debt or become addicted to gambling if you don't have self control.

I have been in that situation, I want to recover the money that I lost and after I recover it, I will stop but the opposite happened. Because of this thinking, my money just ran out that day and I also bet my car just to get my money back. I really regretted it.

I think this happens when you were close to winning but didn't achieve it, for example when the last outcome in a multi-bet ruins it. This is a purely biological mechanism that forces you to try more, since the times when people hunted, the brain has become accustomed to giving strength for the last push (if the prey is close) so that a person achieves success. But now this is a trap that depletes gambling addicts.

That's what chasing of losses is.

Most gamblers do that because they are looking at the part that they can make more money and if they're successful with that, they forget to secure their profits and do more as they think that there's so much more to do.

After that, when they lose everything and can't do that much anymore. That's where they realize that they should have never touched their profits and should have been contented on that when they're still on a winning streak.

Even so, because those restrictions will be forgotten later on.

Someone who loses a lot in gambling will never be capable anymore to think what is right and wrong. His only concern is to focus on chasing his losses so he can recover those lost money, and when his goal is not reached, that's the time that this gambler will eventually burst out out from frustration and stress. He gets desperate of the outcome he has been trying fix but still fail in the process. The reason why overspending in gambling is not good anymore as it can totally destruct a well-being.

However, there are still number of gamblers who still manage theirselves and still gain control when they are in state of losing. Those are the professional gamblers that have gained already various experiences in gambling that made them more flexible and stronger in gambling.

Your statement is very precise and I agree with it, basically we cannot measure the percentage of the two factors as you mentioned above about which factor is more likely to allow gamblers to enter the addiction phase, I will not separate the two points above because they are exactly the same if we look at the impact of whether it allows addiction or not, but certainly no one point can be considered better, because basically in gambling if you win then you will be addicted and if you lose then you will be curious.

That is why they gamblers are always greedy when they get a win and never feel enough with what they have managed to get, instead of getting a bigger win but what happens is unexpected, yes all their initial winnings are back up and there is no other feeling they feel except regret. And also when they lose, they will be curious and continue to re-deposit with the intention as you mentioned above, like struggling to catch up with defeat with the aim of chasing a break-even point that never ends. So in essence there is nothing better they can do except trying to apply a lot of restrictions or even stop, that's better.

Professional players continue playing due to their time limitation strategy. The number of losses can't change their decision to gamble for 5 hours. It's actually the difference and they can decide to reduce wagered amount. Not to fall for a pitiful loss. Which failure, can remove the concept of time limitation, and render little time frame for the player to enjoy his game. Chasing losses with huge amount of money, to gain back immediately a favorable win. Dwindles the money meant to last a duration of 5 hours. So, when we refuse to be controlled by the number of losses. We still have better hands over the gambling platform. As the house are two to three steps ahead of the player. Maintaining low wager is a game changing idea. The shabby trick, players fail to understand, despite being overused, is that the casino tend to give winning results with the little wager. It remains their familiar method of convincing the player, he could win better if he staked huge amount. Old methods used by the house still perfectly works, is the cunning and funny aspect of gambling. Any player who begins to monitor these known recurring methods, will definite outshine the house. But, as they devise their usual strategy, players childishly fall for them. Due to lack of attention, greed and being carried away. Even their emotional being don't remind them of the next action to take. Thereby leading the player to wager high amount. Once, the player understands those tricks, he'll see the displayed win as a trap. A pretty nice psychological way of swallowing the players funds. Hence, the player should calculate and think twice before making any move. Falling for the magic behind win or lose, isn't a right choice for any gambler. 

Unfortunately, people are caught up in something that is uncertain and even though most people understand that gambling is a condition of luck in producing a win.

Initially they will be given some kind of winnings at the start so that it makes people more interested in further gambling. After that, they will experience defeat which results in or forms a mindset to recover the defeat in the next gambling game. That's how addiction builds ideas in the human subconscious when gambling and unfortunately it is difficult to control when gambling becomes an activity that is carried out excessively.

It's no better and it's best to stop if you're not already addicted, unless you can be responsible for the money you use in gambling because when control is no longer stable that's where people will become more addicted.

It depends on the gambler, some addictions start when in the early stage of their gambling they start winning big amounts and start to think this is easy money so they bet more extend their gambling hours, and try to establish a method either coming from tips from steamers or so-called gambling gurus and some started their addiction because of their loneliness and they find gambling as a relief from their boredom and loneliness.

Every experience is different for every gambler there are a lot of ways gamblers become addicted, but the most common is trying to make money because it is easy money because they've seen it on other gamblers, and they think they can duplicate it but unfortunately, luck is something hard to duplicate.

I think that both factors influence the formation of gambling addiction. It's like a roller coaster - gambling then rapidly takes you up (positive stimulation due to winning or a big win), and then just as rapidly falls down (negative stimulation in the form of a desire to win back and return what you lost). This swinging swing is what creates a gaming addiction. There is no point in trying to separate one from the other, because both of these moments (both winning and losing) have an equal impact on the formation of this addiction in a gambler.
