There is an opinion that the greatest dependence on gambling is formed at the moment of a big win. The player understands that money can be earned LIKE THIS. This is a fairly common opinion.
But I believe that the greatest dependence on gambling appears at the moment of loss, when the player admits in his head the idea that he could earn so much. He is disappointed, but wants to recoup. It is at this moment that the desire comes to play again and again in order to return to the previous state.
What do you think about it?
In cases like this there are many moments that can make a person lose control of gambling, even though he already has financial restrictions, what you mentioned is one example that indeed such things often happen to gamblers that ultimately make someone continue gambling, because they want to return to the best state before.
And usually because of that, their mentality also becomes bad, because they think they can return to their previous situation, even though they are even more in a downturn, and at that time what they have built before gambling to follow the rules is all destroyed by such a small mistake. emotional control is very important in cases like this, which if you have good emotional control, you will always be wiser in trying your luck even after winning, you play once more and then lose, you will still stop because you feel that the benefits of the previous multiples are still mostly on your side.
I think this kind of mistake is more likely in slot gamblers.
I think they lose control when they get a small win, because at that time they will be confused about continuing the game or cashing it in. But most of those who continue the game because of a small win think that their luck has not run out, so they decide to continue the game even though by continuing the game, it is not necessarily going to get another win, instead it can spend the winnings they got at the beginning.
What often happens, when they continue the game, and most of the gamblers who continue the game they get a win that makes them upset and want to return the winnings they have gotten, but it needs to be underlined, with the loss of the winnings they get, based on their own choices, so they should be able to accept it instead of getting upset and wanting to gamble again. And this in my opinion can be said to be the moments when they lose control.
