Topic: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? (Read 2279 times)

It's not just the adrenaline, it's the pride too.
Who wants a losing endgame? If you are a man, you don't want that. It's also about pride and ego and losing means we cannot give up just yet. This is why many gamblers keep on depositing because they think that losing is the end game and they want their revenge against the online casino which could be impossible because as we lose, it doesn't mean we will win in our next match. There is a chance we will lose more.
I've been betting for a long time and I can say that only sports betting is the most time I can get back what I had lost. In casino games, it's difficult to do it. You can lose x5000 of your bet so let's say $50 at $0.01 but it doesn't mean you can get it back even after a long betting time.

Yes, that is the worst addiction situation where a gambler no longer cares about winning or losing, all they want is to keep gambling as you said because they feel comfortable with the increase in dopamine that occurs in the brain due to the sensation of the game they are playing and want the game to continue while the risk continues to lurk so of course it is very possible for them to lose a significant amount.

On the other hand, as you said, now your friend has become a victim of addiction after successfully getting a fairly large win but unknowingly he has lost an amount of money that is much greater than the win he ever got, that's where the casino is smart, they first brainwash the gamblers with something very tempting at the beginning which makes the gamblers have high hopes of getting back such a win.
Therefore, the point is to be wise in responding to everything, use your rational mindset, because that way I am sure that you will not be tempted by anything that seems too easy to get.

You have a point, overtime the dopamine effects gambling has on the Brain can make people addicted to it, even if they lose they still find themselves engaging in this disastrous habit. When it gets to this point they don't care about winning or losing anymore, they are just after satisfying the urge to gamble more. Another reason why people get addicted to Gambling especially casino games is from the lucky tries that they have had, a friend of mine made a thousand dollars on crash games and lost over two thousand dollars, he became addicted because he saw how easy it was to make money and fell into the trap.

Yes, although it sounds a lot like what a person insists on when buying lottery tickets, and that is something they always maintain, in a casino for example playing in the slots, crash, roulettes well it is difficult because to win big you have to play a lot, of course if it is in slots that you insist you know that you can do a lot with little money, but it is a double-edged sword, because you are always in that position of "almost winning", sometimes you win but not with a big bet, then in view of this many things come into play, among them luck, that is something obvious, however the reason for me that people come back is for the pure action of winning.

In my opinion, this is caused by the desire to get a big win in him, even though someone has experienced a lot of defeats, but because of the thought of wanting to win big or wanting to recover losses, it is what makes players unable to stop even though they have experienced consecutive defeats that even affect their lives to be more difficult.
In addition, with excessive self-confidence like those who think they will be able to win in the next gamble which is done when the previous gamble ended in defeat or almost won.

The problem lies in our own mindset, because in my opinion, the casino itself does not force players to gamble continuously, but because of their own thoughts that lead them to gamble non-stop. The way out is that we must be able to fix our own minds so that everything can be better in the future.

why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? Ever heard about this story https://youtu.be/HEB0kla2AUM?si=tKoag72X5yWWWUNO&t=137 the lady that lost 4 million dollar in 7 years and she still want to play with the slot machine.

She said she didn't get addicted by the slot and can stop whenever she want and she just play with fun. some people had its own reason and one of them maybe just do gamble for fun. he didn't really care about the winning money or maybe some people are alone and want to socialize with other but don't know where to start.

But personally after I lose much Im gonna take a break for a while.

Most of the time, new gamblers were the sufferers. They just enter into gambling without knowing much about it. They will be with an understanding that we need to place the bet, win big, and turn ourselves rich. This is common; when they experiment, the reality will be understood that it isn't possible to win always. Some find lucky to win, whereas the majority lose, and the minds weren't ready to accept the loss. This is where most of them choose the wrong way to gamble and retain the lost money. If they've left gambling, maybe it could've ended with the initial loss. While trying to recover the loss, the majority of the gamblers lost big. After heavy losses, they'll take a break as they won't be having funds. Once again, the temptation to recover the loss will be there in the mind whenever they hear something about gambling; there'll be an urge to gamble. So, this turns habitual after some time, and that's the main reason why people continue to gamble even when they continue to lose.

They always think like that as they want to win so they will change their strategy to have the high chance of win. But that will not easy as gambling can make them lost their money.
The reason of people coming back to the casino will not change where they want to win some money but if they can realizes that the chance to win is not too big, they will understand that gambling is just for fun. But those who can not accepts their lose will be back to casino very often because they thinks that some day they can win that money.
They don't thinks that their lost is already big and even if they win some money, that doesn't mean they can profit from gambling.

They know about that but they still trying to gambling and win the money which they are difficult to get it. They need to realize about the fact of difficulty getting win from gambling so they will not come back to casino very often.
They can use gambling for have fun and not thinks about the win while they can considers that winning in gambling is just a bonus. By having that minds, they can enjoy the game with some money and can stops gambling when it is enough.
If they refuse the fact and still gambling, that will be their choice and let them see what will happen to them. We can only suggest them not to back to casino too often because we see the chance of losing the money will be bigger.

Having big dreams on what you can achieve with gambling gives you that false hope that you can win your nsxt game, despite losing the previous one. I think this is what make some gamblers to keep on trying to win huge without giving up on it, because they believe they will win big some day. Gambling shouldn't be what someone with his senses should rely on to be a game changer for you because you are living in fallacy. Gamble for pleasure and enjoy the fun, instead of gambling to worsen your financial condition.

Indeed, being greedy and then struggling strongly is an indescribable psychological development of a gambler, they do not lack criticism as well as advice but they want to fight more in the moment of seeing gambling, can not be a loser, only attached to victory to make life easier. But the fact is that this war needs a lot of time to recover and sacrifice to see the nature clearly but perhaps the nature is clear until now, people still crave can only prove that people prefer to deceive themselves in gambling than believe in reality.

Most of the gamblers do really know that they can never make more money with gambling, but it's more on losses than gains. In fact, that's the reality.

However, we tend to refuse that fact because we expect that with luck, it will change our fate with gambling but will end up making quick profits instead that may lead to lifestyle's progress. But the problem is, we never get lucky most often. And if ever there is, that's only rare to happen. That's the reason why we keep coming back on gambling despite of consecutive losses hoping to get extra luck and hit the jackpot prize one day.

If you believe that humans have the characteristics of greed, arrogance, ambition and feeling inadequate and never satisfied and so on, that's all humans have in them, Your question is the same as when people go to sea to catch crabs (Alaska) already knowing the risks of the waves and the stakes, people still go, that's the way humans want to try their luck against luck.

It's the same as gambling, they actually know that gambling is a place to spend money, everyone who bets has a small chance of winning and a big chance of losing, but why do they keep going there, that's the answer to trying their luck, who knows, maybe they'll get lucky, try again, who knows, the jackpot will come to us this time, with such characteristics, it clearly doesn't take much reason for them to have the best opportunity, what's gambling, Even though the facts on the ground are that they fail and lose, money can hypnotize people and can freeze people's brains without thinking further.

Gambling is one of the most exciting games invented by mankind. It can satisfy the excitement of many people, but we still have to understand that the result of each gambling game is carefully calculated and not random and lucky. In this game, Everyone who sits at the gambling table has the same goal, which is to win money. No one wants to lose money, not even the craziest gamblers. But why do they keep gambling when they lose on a losing streak? Gambling addicts often tell me that, the thrill of gambling keeps them coming back. We cannot explain it, they are simply addicted, like smokers, knowing it is harmful but they still smoke, it is a feeling of intoxication and addiction.

That's right, there are usually several reasons why a gambler will continue gambling despite their losses and some of the reason you have already pointed out. Some persons might just want to catch fun with $2 on a slot game and if they decide to  spend $0.01 on each bet, they can gambler several times before losing all that money and they will not feel bad for losing just $2 to satisfy their pleasure. Some persons too are after profit, so even while they keep on losing, they still continue trying luck.

When gambling does not favor a gambler he cannot win any bet how much he tries. So if one tries to change his game and bet from one game to another there is no certainty that the gambler will win. Every gambler tries again and again to win from gambling. There are some who gamble even after repeated losses and others who gamble to recover their losses.

For those who consider gambling as a source of income or as a way out of poverty, gambling can create a rather dire situation. So win or lose if one can accept gambling normally and control himself in gambling then he can be successful. It is a big mistake for a gambler to think of gambling as a source of income.

You can't deny the pain when you have lost consecutively even if you'll say that you're up to have fun only. There's no fun with consecutive losses and when you are being drained with the money that you have, it can be helped to say the least that you're having fun when you're losing more money. I know that there are folks that are up to gamble and to have fun, these are the real rich people but many of us aren't rich and can't even afford to lose some hundreds or at least we can but it's going to leave us damage for a few days of gamble. We win sometimes and we have fun when we do but, that's the reality of gambling that we have to accept losses and deal with it as we had fun.

The only people feel that way have high expectation towards the way how they deal with casinos. Usually they think that if they have good strategy used the higher the chance they win, but they didn't get what they wanted since the result still the same that's why they pissed off since they think the casino deceive them for that matters. This is the reason why we see newly created accounts then accused the casino as scam. Since maybe they cannot take that they lose and want to get revenge for that reasons.

But for people who acknowledge the risk and could able to handle the losses since what they only want to do is to have fun, for sure that they can get over with those losses and will not think about any excessive things like winning huge and stick on realistic situations.

And to work without emotions ain't easy at all because we humans are emotional being , so it takes time and self discipline before one can be Able to manage their emotions.  Gambling always have a way of triggering those emotions, despite when one is winning or losing . And most time it usually comes in the form of greed and fear .

Especially greed,  that's why I mentioned even when one is winning or losing greed is always there, while winning there's always this greed of continuation, while losing there's always this greed of chasing or going after losses .

Normally people will always gamble for different reasons, fun or profit. Gambling is unpredictable and for sure people may end up at lose and it doesn't mean one won't gamble again. The most important thing one needs to know is for one to have the sense of mind to play with money that can be afford to lose and to know when to give a break. Gambling is game and it is either a win or a lose, and whatever may be the outcome one will still try again. It is only wrong when one plays with a huge amount and lose and still taking risk by continuing playing to get profit, then this gambling pattern is not a good one and not advisable.

They want to have fun by playing gambling but after lose their money, they become mad and want to gets their money back. People can easily give the reason to gamble for fun and entertainment but they don't know how gambling can make them bankrupt. If many of them realize that gambling can not gives them money, they will reduce their gambling time and will only seek for the opportunity to make money. They will not push themselves playing gambling so hard because they know the risk. They really wants to avoids the problem from gambling so they prefer to do other things.
