Topic: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? - page 13. (Read 2269 times)

We can in other terms call it chasing loses, The reality is in whatever thing we do nobody wants to be a loser and that's the case here with gambling, if you are losing, you will ever hope that your next attempt will be in the money, and you will definitely want to continue to play with the hope of recovering your losses and that's the hard truth when you're into gambling, it is very important to gamble responsibly and not to go way beyond what you have budgeted, and that why most gamblers get screwed.

I share the same factors in mind.

Some players are still gambling possibly because they consider it as their leisure activity. They treat it as an outlet of stress, a form of relaxation, and one of the main ways to entertain themselves after a tiring day. This is okay as long as they are gambling responsibly, which means gambling repeated times despite whatever the results will be, as long as it is within the set limitations they had for themselves. If they are still within the boundary that they have set, I guess it's okay to have a repeated bet and play since that is still a calculated expenditure on their end.

Meanwhile, the other reason would probably because they think that if they keep on playing and betting despite numerous and consecutive losses, they can still win the next time around. Dependency and gambling addiction come into play in this. Their minds play a trick on them that makes them get so hooked up despite knowing the risks, they tend to neglect it and proceed to have high hopes.

No, there is no gambler who is losing that enjoys giving his money to the house or the owner by the way of losing. Rather, they are consistently playing to try their luck on winning back what they have. I could imagine losing on a streak and then enjoying the way that your money is being wasted, no gambler will enjoy that. Gamblers wish to be profitable all the time and that is the reason to go back to playing even after vowing not to continue playing. There are some gamblers that are fade up from playing but later decide to play for few times maybe they see a game thinking they can have a win and unfortunately they won't win but end up continuing playing. Such happens because they want to try getting back the losses they had before they stop.

I think that players who lose always think about one thing for a long time - that it will end someday because you can’t lose forever and that their big win will cover past losses and debts. But by continuing to think only about this, each time they drive themselves deeper and deeper into the abyss.

And even if a miracle happens and the player wins a lot, he still will not leave with the money, but will continue to play because he changed his plans at that very moment, even if he was going to leave with the winnings. I would like to say that many players are doomed to lose, but they don’t even know about it and continue to tempt their fate over and over again.

There is lots of online gambling sites in the world. Also, their promotional activities are extensive. Even a small child, he is attracted to gambling and he is also becoming addicted to it. Because now everyone has access to gambling platforms. A under age can participate in gambling even if he is not enough age. They are collecting money from their parents for gambling. It is heard that some children are gambling without telling their parents, they are also stealing money. To bring back from here, the parents have to be careful enough. Otherwise they will fail to bring their children back from addiction.

Also because some other think that consistency pay off a lot in long run that's why there are some people keep gambling even if they know that they have a high chance to lose. There are also people can accept that since they already know that gambling is base on luck and they just wanna try to gamble to see if they are lucky then hit those big wins and get a lot of money from that.

There are also gambler doesn't care about that much since they gamble to have fun and no other further expectation since this is their other option to have fun online especially if they don't have other things to do. So overall its situational and depend on what actual needs of the people one why they gamble.

Some other gamblers keep talking about their Losing or they are losers but never that  you will hear them saying or accepting they won so meaning just a losses but never that they won?
that is something stupid behavior I noticed to those gamblers that hates being asked for a TIP when they won so instead of admitting to win? they denied and pretend to be a loser.

but about your friend ? maybe he is enjoying feeding those gambling site owner or casino owner , he loves giving his money to their pockets?

I agree. Addiction is complicated. Gambling addiction can make advice useless biochemically. Not willpower, but brain networks. I've seen how unnoticed light addiction may escalate into desperation. Recognizing these signals early is significant.

Gambling is very tempting financially. It exploits the need for fast riches, especially among the poor. The irony? This pursuit typically worsens poverty. I've seen the tragic cycle of tiny bets leading to larger debts. Its a false hope for getting out of debt that needs to be exposed.

Gambling entertainment is sometimes disregarded. Yes, others like it as a hobby rather than an addiction or financial plan. Even yet, self-awareness is crucial. Know where to draw the line. Gambling can be pleasant as part of a healthy lifestyle, but the key is knowing when its a problem.

This is the key. They know they shouldn't keep betting, but a kind of compulsion drives them to do so. As for what the OP asks where they get the money to keep doing it, there are many ways, savings, quick loans, credit cards, selling things. All to keep fueling their addiction. In this they are not much different from a drug addict, the most notable difference being that they do not consume a substance, it is the brain that secretes it.

It's not magical, it's psychological. A lot of us are raised to chase wins and we always see that winning should be the thing that someone should strive for and it's a normal thing for us to believe that, it's not like we're going to have any problem with having to aspire to be a winner. The point is that we've been indoctrinated our whole life about winning that when we gamble which sees a lot of losing as a result, we often see ourselves feeling that there's something wrong with losing and so we continue to play until we hit the win not knowing that when that happens, we're hooked on the feeling of winning because we've been frustrated about losing that we want to feel that winning feeling again and so we gamble again which will be followed by a lot of losses and we also have this belief that we are guaranteed a win if we just keep on playing so that's probably my answer to your question.

I don't know if many people feel the same way I do, but honestly, gambling has this magical allure that makes you always feel like you'll win the next bet. So, it's understandable why those who engage in gambling keep playing even if they consistently lose. Moreover, after a streak of losses, there's a stronger sense of certainty in your head about the next bet—a belief that forms after those previous losses.
Some people see it as experience gained from those prior losses. Also, the desire to recover losses is always present in each of us. How can you just walk away after losing the first few rounds? It's really tough to quit right then and there, and the more you play, the deeper you get, even though you keep losing, the urge to continue playing persists.

So many questions here, however, the best answers can be gotten from the people involved themselves. Nevertheless, let me say that three reasons could be attributed to these kinds of behaviours and I don't think it could go beyond that in my widest thought. Some are already addicted to gambling, there is nothing you can tell them as words of advice they will go back to it and gamble. But it is possible that their addiction is a light one, so you might not notice that idiocy in them especially if they are still not so desperate about it. To some, it is for the money, they need the money from it and believe they will get it through gambling by all means. You will see this category trying their luck with the smallest money they can find, but it doesn't work as expected and it would be late for them to realize.

They are such that might not have a good job or not have a job at all and depend on friends and family for a living. They often believe in cheap means to make money like gambling which will even make them poorer with that mindset. While the last set loves playing it and could be a means of entertainment for them. Some don't realize this but when they gamble, they have a good mood and it might not necessarily be for the money or addiction but just love doing it. It now depends on individuals to tell you categorically the class in which they fall, or perhaps you pay closer attention to them to decipher it yourself.

Very good question. Maybe the answer is that if a person often loses, then he expects from the theory of probability that he should soon be very lucky. Unfortunately, this may not always work and it may still take a lot of money to prove this to be true. Probably a person gets hooked on this drug that tests the brain in anticipation of victory. Especially if he sometimes manages to win a little, he will chase this feeling again and again. And constantly think that soon you should finally get lucky.

In my own aspect of gambling, when I started, I was always winning games and that made me stick to it but later on I started loosing many of my games but with the hope of winning games at times it made me confidence that gambling is just a contribution and will be giving to me no matter how long I play and that has been making me have hope till date. I believe there will be a time that my contribution would be paid back so that is what give me the hope of hanging on and I believe if I stop playing I will never have the opportunity to pack my contribution.

I think it is an invaluable satisfaction and indeed if it lasts long enough it will not be good for his life. Maybe for them, even if they lose, it is not a problem as long as they can control themselves from gambling and what is dangerous is when they find it difficult to stop gambling. From the story, most of you end up losing from slots and the losses are definitely not small.

I have also played slots and often I am also lucky but when I lose completely then I will stop right then and there and will try another opportunity. What I mean here is that I don't play slots every day and maybe do it when I want to, more precisely, even once a month I don't necessarily play slots if I'm not in the right position.

But when it comes to football betting, I'm still active and that's the bet I know and understand best. At least I can always make money every week even though the amount is not that big.

Because we do not gamble to win, that is not really the whole point of it. I understand that we are not going to end up with anything that would be all that confusing, it is not about winning at all, it is as simple as that.

I understand some people do like to gamble and try to win, but not me and there are plenty of people like me as well. I think we gamble because it's a fun thing to do, it's like there is really nothing else to do sometimes and you just lay on your sofa and just gamble for hours and fall asleep, it's as simple as that. I personally do not care about the results in the end, I just care about if I had any fun that day or not and most days I gamble I have fun and that's all that I care about, nothing more than that ever matters.

I agree with you, they gamble without being afraid of losing because they have thoughts that are associated with "luck" as you said, when they lose maybe they will think "maybe they will be lucky tomorrow" or something else, this clearly makes them always gamble even though they always lose. and they will do this impulsive thing consciously, it is impossible for them to do the same thing over and over again without awareness within themselves, so I think they can do this too because their thoughts still place hope in gambling.

that's true, many people gamble with losses that make them curious, because in my opinion when they lose they become curious, and when they win they become addicted, this is difficult to avoid if they don't do it themselves, they can avoid things This is if they themselves have good self-control and limits in their gambling, because many of those who gamble are chasing victory and that is the disease of every gambler.

Having the intention to make money from gambling will only make them disappointed because they don't succeed in making money but only experience losses. If they cannot stop themselves from continuing to gamble, they will experience greater losses. They have to change their goals in gambling so they don't lose a lot of money and can also avoid the problem of gambling addiction because many gamblers have experienced this. They can hope to win the jackpot but shouldn't be too serious about gambling because that means they can spend more money to try to get the jackpot.

And even though they can win, it doesn't guarantee they can stop because it is normal for many gamblers to want even bigger wins after they win. If they cannot control the funds used for gambling and also lose self-control and responsibility, it will only make their losses bigger. They also cannot recover their losses from gambling and it will make them frustrated by losing money at the gambling table.

Those who keep going back to gambling after losing will only waste more money because it doesn't guarantee they can recover their losses. They should understand that they can only have fun playing gambling and not think about how to win gambling games. Maybe it will be better, and they might even win some money. And when they gamble more often, it will only provide a greater opportunity for them to experience a gambling addiction, especially since they don't know when they are experiencing a gambling addiction. Someone who gambles too often will not pay attention to this because their focus and goals in gambling have changed drastically and they will only chase more wins. That's what makes many people addicted to gambling without realizing it.

This is why you are being told that some persons play for fun. When  you understand yourself first, you'll know what you are capable at and the best thing is to work towards your emotions. So you'll not gamble because your chasing your loss. Though I have seen some persons who gamble to gain back what they have lost, but the truth is, they are just trying to become addicted and then become very irresponsible in their gambling. Because irresponsible gambling is also fueled by chasing losses. But when you play for fun, even after experiencing some loss you still keep playing because the money you used was extremely small and you can afford to loss it without any financial troubles.

I didn't know that can you cite me some articles or studies that this is how the compulsive gambler's mind work? I'm not actually that familiar with that term but I just based that opinion on how a normal person's mind work, if they're happy and having fun with what they're doing, then it's natural to conclude that they'll do it again no matter how bad it gets for them right? So that's why I think they're still gambling despite the losses, they're having fun. Those lucky days that you're talking about isn't really a big thing though or an upside to what gambling is because they're not likely to always happen and the big wins are rare to happen for many people.
