Topic: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? - page 10. (Read 2279 times)

Im intrigued by the idea of gambling within boundaries. Its like playing a strategic game where the opponent is our own impulse. I see it as a self-discipline test focused on managing our expectations and desires rather than beating the house. Thinking about things that way is fascinating.

Responsible gambling may be learned, in my experience. Its about leading your gambling connection. Control the game, not vice versa. This means self-imposed limits like a budget or time limit and strict adherence. Recognizing that winning is transitory but self-control is lasting is key.

I also think gambling should be entertaining and social. Its about the adrenaline rush, the camaraderie with other gamblers, and the uncertainty, not just the money. Gamblers can enjoy gambling without risking addiction by prioritizing these factors over financial outcomes. It's about enjoying the process, not the result. After all, shouldnt gambling be fun?

Is he playing for fun or his main desire is to profit? It is stupid if he's complaining yet he can't refrain himself. Majority of us often lose in gambling but despite this we still keep on playing since we have our own reason for doing so. Sometimes it's about entertainment and satisfaction that's why we gamble.

A gambler who is eager to play can do anything just to sustain his habit. Thus, regardless of where they get their money, what motivates them is gambling. So they can play to earn even there's no assurance at all.

Well, you have a point but switching games doesn't guarantee anything. You can become lucky but it's still uncertain. Therefore, much better to play the games that you can enjoy the most. Hence even you're not lucky to win, at least you are entertained.

The goal of winning the jackpot is okay as long as he remains in control of himself and doesn't try to chase the win too hard. And if they can gamble responsibly, they will only gamble moderately and wait for the win to arrive. They will not try to risk more money because they know that it could take away their control by indulging their ego to win. But those who have lost their responsibility and self-control will still return to gambling even though they have lost. They don't think about restricting themselves because it's so difficult to achieve win that they also have difficulty maintaining self-control. People's goals in gambling are indeed different, but all gamblers must have self-control that needs to be improved so that gamblers do not gamble excessively. They can still wait for a win while gambling with self-control so they won't become even more eager to win the jackpot prize.

If someone doesn't know much about how sports games are played and is confused about which team to bet on, he can choose with small odds or can learn first about which team is superior and which team is more favored to win, I It seems quite clear what the OP said that he is only giving advice to gamblers who always lose at the game to change their game to gambling that uses skills. At least the gambler has to make an effort to think when betting so that he doesn't gamble carelessly, whereas slot games are luck-based games if If you don't stop immediately and hope that every round you can get the jackpot, I'm sure this will actually make you experience even more unstoppable losses.

It's true that sports betting doesn't always win because in gambling there are wins and losses, so at least sports betting can bring us closer to luck if the predictions we analyze are correct, in sports betting it's not easy to get lucky because we are required to study every bet we make. choose, but the fact is that many gamblers make more profits from sports betting compared to luck-based gambling which is relatively easier to play without using skill.

Yes, at least there is hope and they have something to wait for a miracle rather than not doing anything in his life. even if it doesn't hit the jackpot, this type of gambler always has hope the money he put in is increased rather than spent on what he needs. After all the money is gone, he will wait until tomorrow to do repeat like yesterday. I think this will be a problem if he has a family which has earned a living. The money he gets from his salary he just bet to hope a miracle where he don't know when it happen.

A kind of HOPE that brings them more losses instead of winning. A hope for desperate gamblers who can't fully accept that they will lose thinking that if they will continue to gamble despite losses, they can recover their losses without knowing that they already fall into the trap. Casino owners love seeing these gamblers behaving like this, that is all they want. The more we chase winnings, the more we experience losses, and the more we are getting far from enjoying it.

A reason why it is encouraged to gamble responsibly and to know when to stop.

Many return for the feeling of wining, but this does not apply to absolutely everyone who is involved in gambling: many play for years and never win but continue to play. I don’t know if you guessed it, but I’m talking about those who play the lottery and dream of winning the jackpot. By buying a lottery ticket, they buy themselves the feeling of a dream - of course, it is almost impossible to win, but nevertheless, this does not stop you from dreaming that this time you will get the jackpot and change your life for the better.

It's usually like that, the first win really makes gamblers feel a great sensation so after that they intend to pursue other wins in order to get money and sensations like before, and another thing is that the first win usually makes gamblers put higher expectations, if the amount they get at the beginning is $100 for example then usually next they will pursue more than that and this is where all the real scenarios will start.

Gambling with the intention of looking for a win like before and if the result is losing then it's not a problem, they still have the spirit to try, despite the fact that defeat dominates in the next session until they run out of money but usually they have other alternatives to get money such as borrowing from several services or to one of their friends for gambling capital, the loan amount is getting bigger because winning is still difficult to get so it is not uncommon to see gambling addicts who end up in a lot of debt and lose all the valuable assets they have. In my opinion, the problem is that they misunderstand what the chances of winning are, not certainty but nothing more than opportunities which means that they can succeed and can also fail, this mindset must be corrected so that awareness can help them before it's too late and regret it.

People always gamble because they really want to feel like they are winning. Even if they have to deposit the money again, it still makes them come back again and again. There are still many gambling games that they haven't played so that's what keeps them coming back. They think it's okay if they lose again this time because there will be a time for them to win, so they keep going back to gambling.

It is. Even if we look stupid with our story, we don't care. Gambling is just too entertaining to not be discussed with friends. Well, as long as you are on the same wavelength as them.
I remembered last week I made a long parlay in NBA and I told it to my friend and neighbor. I said it x400+ and if it wins we will have a good drink that night. Sadly, I lost the bet with 2 teams losing in an 11-leg parlay. I even discussed with him how those two teams lost and I am glad he just let me talk and kept on listening. Well, he didn't call me stupid but he is also disappointed that I didn't get the win.
Another story is when we are talking about boxing. Tapales versus Inoue. I asked him if he would make a bet, on whose boxer he put his money. Although I already have a decision on where I will put my money I am glad we are on the same boat when he said it would be for Tapales because betting for the opponent is not that profitable. Well, I lost but we talked about that stupid bet for hours and how the fight went through.
Gambling must be enjoyed and if it is with friends it becomes sweeter and more fun.

Once you experience win one time surely you will seek to find more and hope to win more. That is the possible reason why your friend always keeps playing, or else your friend wants to take back all of the lost money they made in playing gambling of course one of the solutions to get quick money is playing gambling too, but I guess this is not the most suitable because seems like they are keep increasing the number of money they will lose in the house. If your friend has a sideline or job and keeps gambling it is okay it's their leisure time but if not and other people get affected like having a debt that's the time i guess they stop this dream for a while to get a large money in playing gambling.

What if you completely have no idea of what or which game and who to bet on in sports betting?, will you still just go ahead and bet on any random team your guts tell you will win?, when you are not exactly and cant back your decision with facts, possibly because you are not a sports person, will you still go ahead and bet if this is the type of gambler that you are?

And do not also forget that even in sports betting, bettors still lose, and sometimes, they lose most of their bets and yet, they keep betting regardless.
It is commonly said that hope is what drives gamblers, gamblers, and I mean real gamblers, don't look or give attention to their present loses, but rather, how hope to make them to continue to look onto and into the future, for the present can be deceiving, a gambler who stopped gambling because of his or her present loses, do not know what awaits him or her in the future, and if he or she was going to win a huge some of money in the future, he or she will never get to win that money because, he or she already stopped gambling.

Gambling has two possibilities, one is loss and the other is profit. But many a times many gamblers end up going bankrupt due to repeated gambling losses but cannot come out of gambling addiction. One of the main reasons for this is that the gambler thinks that even if he loses repeatedly, he can recover all his past losses at the last moment. Even after repeated losses, the gambler continues to gamble repeatedly with only the possibility of recovery.
No gambler has been successful till date with the possibility of this recovery, but from my personal experience I have repeatedly lost gambling bets and have not seen any chance of profit till now. So if you lose repeatedly, you should stop gambling for a few days.

Gambling exploits the brain's reward system. A complicated mix of hope, excitement, and the occasional adrenaline surge of victory makes gambling more than a game of chance. This emotional combination can overwhelm, so self-awareness is key. We must accept risks and exercise self-control. Understanding addiction's mechanisms is crucial; a casual gamble can lead to an obsessive habit

Gambling for rapid wealth is a deadly myth. The chances are usually against us in this game of probabilities. This belief system needs reality testing. Revenge gambling is also dangerous. Not winning back losses, but knowing when to stop. Aspect of entertainment? It can be entertaining, but moderation is crucial. As you noted, even recreational gamblers must be careful. Finding a balance between exhilaration and addiction is key. Remember, gambling should be fun, not a habit

I guess it's the thrill of winning or hitting a jackpot that keeps gamblers playing. Even at most of the time we lose, there's a feeling of pride and contentment whenever we win something back when gambling and not to mention it really is a huge adrenaline boost when you are about to hit a jackpot or win something big. Another thing is, gambling is a good form of entertainment, even with money involved it takes away your mind of your daily stress and worries even just for a while, this is also one of the reasons why many people slowly turn into gambling addicts, they start gambling out of habit or for entertainment but ends up spending everything they have due to addiction.

well, this is an important point in everything we are talking about here, that the reason gamblers continue to gamble even though they are losing is because they consider gambling like a hobby that can provide entertainment and of course with everything that has been planned not to spend too much money on gambling and obey the rules. predetermined limits.

of the several reasons why gamblers still bet even though they always lose, perhaps the most common and most reasonable reason is just what you said, because we would certainly consider it something ridiculous if a gambler continued to bet because he wanted to win, even though betting 10 times is not necessarily true giving a win even if you get a win will definitely not be equivalent to the losses that have been incurred.
therefore, considering gambling as a hobby may be one way to continue gambling safely but still have to adhere to the limits that have been planned so as not to gamble excessively.

Gambling is so addictive, which is why everyone engaging in it has to be careful even before their first bet. They need to be conscious of themselves every time they enter the gambling house or their gambling platform so that they will not be easily carried away. Gambling has its spirit, it is this same spirit that pushes people when it enters them. But being cautious and always staying alert will avert the evil it can cause through the sensitivity of the person.

Besides, I would like you to know that some people believe that they will make their entire money in this world through betting, this is one of the major reasons you see them coming back. When they lose today, they will believe it was just a day bad, and they will want to try the next day or any other time they have money to gamble. But before they know it, they might have already been addicted to it.

To some people, it is the desperation of revenge. They would want to collect the money they lost into gambling back, but instead, it will worsen the situation.

And to the last set, they merely love gambling as a hobby and will always like to gamble to get the entertainment out of it. This set of people might like some specific gambling sections that keep them occupied and kill boredom for them. Yet, I expect the people in this category to still be wise and careful, they need to moderate everything and gamble only with a small amount of money to avoid addiction and wastage.

What makes me curious is not why your friend doesn't change his game when he loses, but how he can continue to fund his gambling even though he doesn't have a job, which means he doesn't have any income, and that will be the answer if you ask your friend directly.
Can changing games change the results that can be obtained? I think it doesn't always work because if the game is still based on luck then it will remain the same unless it is changed to a game that requires skill or analysis.
Your friend may already be in the addiction category where he finds it difficult to give up the game even though he keeps losing or he only talks about his losses but actually, he also wins something which he hides because he doesn't want to let other people know that he has money.

If a gambler can expect to win and maintain a responsible gambling, then he wouldn't have any problem in his gambling journey. The aim of most gamblers is to have a jackpot someday. That's why they'll continue gambling even if they always lose. That goal doesn't go off easily, it keep recurring in the gambler's brain and he wouldn't stop if he wins. Hence, gambling is an activity for gamblers, which can't be forgotten easily. Our aim of gambling differs and we can't say for sure, but I'd say that when losing lots of money while gambling, I wouldn't gamble anymore because it seems uncertain what could be the next outcome. Contrarily, others see it as an opportunity to stake more money, and earn lots of money if a win result eventually shows up. Sometimes it'll work while in most scenario it wouldn't work out. Such people also need to know about the need to manage their money and stop when it seems unsafe to gamble. Losing continuously is not advisable.

Addection is the most harmful think ever in life. Because one you are addected with it you play lot of gamble and play huge if they faces loss. Because in their mind they always target to recover loss. Emotion always effect and that time a gambler always take wrong stape for recover losses. That the reason we say that people always gambling when the are in loss. Because they are always in that mind to any how recover the losses.
