Topic: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? - page 14. (Read 2270 times)

Curiosity, fun and addiction, this is what makes everyone continue to return to gambling sites even though they have experienced defeat and this also makes many gamblers forget how much money they have spent gambling.
It difficult to find the real reason, but the three conditions I mentioned above are the most dominant factors that always make gamblers addicted and unable to leave the gambling activities they do.

From what you have said here, I sure it does not only happen in the environment where you live but also in various countries.
Including where I live, there are also many young people or teenagers who are so fond of gambling on slots that they really forget about time because every time they have money they use it to deposit and play slots.
But most of them here already work or have their own income, and for young people they rely on money given by their parents to use for gambling.
Maybe this is something that is very unfortunate but nothing can stop it except the efforts of the parents of each young person and their own will.

The same problem has occurred for quite long time and until now there really has been no effective solution to deal with the younger generation who like to gamble.
What I worried about is that something bad will happen to them and it could make them do stupid things like borrow money and commit crimes to get money to use for gambling.

He probably owed a lot of money and decided to hide from the people he owed. Quite standard practice in our world. I was once like that myself. I lost a lot of money in a casino, which I borrowed and decided that later I would give it back in vain, trying not to catch the eye of my creditors. For me this became not life, but some kind of continuous torment. I was constantly in fear that they were about to find me to shake off the debt. After some time, I decided that I no longer wanted all this and stopped gambling. I saved up money and paid everyone off. I thought about my action for a long time.

Since then, I only occasionally go to the casino to play slots for modest amounts. This should cause me pleasure, not anxiety.

In my opinion, this is already familiar among people who are not afraid of losing when gambling because what is in their mind is "who knows, maybe today there will be luck" "who knows, tomorrow there will be luck" and so on. As long as you are able to spend money to gamble. Even if you lose, it has become part of the gambler who cannot control himself and this can also be said to be "addicted" so he will continue to do it even though he has lost many times.

Slot games really make people curious, so it's only natural that people who play them are easily addicted and are always curious about the results of each round, so that without realizing it, the gambler loses and makes a deposit again to catch up on his losses and will continue like that, this is indeed a bad attitude because after all Also chasing losses is not recommended for gamblers because they will experience bigger losses.

I'm sure if a child is addicted to gambling games, they won't tell their parents. If there is an activity of asking for more money by a child, it might make parents suspicious. However, the impact on children who are addicted to gambling games may be more serious. they have no income and that could result in other actions involving family or other people.

I also keep coming back to bet even though there are more losses if you count. but somehow I feel like there is money that I can calmly spend on gambling. it's like the fun money that men have. Of course, it's not big, but it depends on how much money we allocate for gambling.

I often hear the same situation on my side. Some of them even sell their houses and property just for deposit and try to return the capital. And we will definitely know what the end of the story, their house and the money were never returned to him. I don't know why they are very confident to take hostage his life and family even they can do it with another investment like trading bitcoin or stock rather than continuing to play slots and lose.

Usually so, but is not always. It depends on the mood. Sometimes changing the type of game can change your bad luck and reverse the situation, and returning all capital.

that we can't say for sure. in today's generation, they have easy access on everything especially if they have always net connection. as even kids can have access in any site, there's no surprise if some of them find their way in any of these gambling sites. just consider the ads that they will accidentally stumble on and try to check out.

and they can get some money to use by asking from their parents or doing odd jobs. right now, you just need strategy to earn something. not be lazy and you will find one. this activity is very addictive, hence, parents should also on the look out for their kids, what activities they are dedicating their time mostly of.

Maybe young people use their pocket money to make deposits on online gambling sites, I don't know for sure but I think positively and don't accuse them of using bad methods to get money.

Curiosity and wanting to recover losses are the main reasons used to continue gambling even though they experience large losses. I also do the same thing, if a slot machine is too brutal then I often change games or choose a house edge game to restore my capital before trying my luck again on the slot machine. Sometimes when emotions are out of control, someone still insists on playing slot machines even though the results are bad. He made deposits many times, and as we know, when the slot machine is not friendly, no matter how much we deposit, there is only losses

They may feel encouraged by the stories of gambling success they usually see in social Media and also within their circle of friends. Advertisement and sponsorships are a very big part of this industry and business model, perhaps those friends of yours are specially sensitive to being encouraged to continue to gamble after seeing to many wins on their social media feed.
By the way, it is interesting they are that open when comes to talk about their losses with you, usually anyone would feel ashamed about them and would avoid mentioning to engine close to them. It leads to me assume they could be using you as way to vent or cope with those losses, as they await for their lucky day which they expect could change their life for good.
Or perhaps, you are dealing with people who honestly enjoy to wager for the sake of fun, which is very difficult to believe but still possible.

Exactly few months back ,I observed they my favourite game wasn't turning out in my favour more often as it used to be and it did gave me some concerns such that I began to wonder why is it turning out in such form ,so I taught to my self to use a different approach which ment that I changed my choice of game which I did.

It's very reasonable to change your game, regardless of your history of profitability with a particular game, it's still important you change your game and try out new once to be able to increase your chances of winning the game and staying profitable in your bets but then most persons seem not to see it in this light rather they think because they have a better knowledge on a particular game and have had a history of wins with the game, they then decide to stick to the game regardless and stay in losses which is a very wrong idea, it's good to be dynamic if thats what it will take you to stay profitable in the game.

The best way to go about gambling is to gamble moderately. If a gambler is actually gambling for fun if they continue to lose at a time that gambler will have to be examine their selves and refrain from gambling. But an addicted gambler will never have the time to re-examine their gambling habits. Addiction is like religion that people hardly give up on, if they understand that such religion is faulty but since they are used to it and do not know other ways to go they will continue in such religion. What happens in gambling when someone feels that the only place that they get fun from is gambling so if they stop gambling where is will they have fun.

The two set of people that continue to gamble even when they are losing are;
1. Addicts
2. People who sincerely gamble for fun

It’s surprising to me also when I see some certain people gambling. I do say it doesn’t make any sense to me and they should have given up on gambling. Most of them are not financially stable, they don’t have a serious source of income, and they will still go ahead and gamble. Most of them are addicted gamblers, and they do illegal things or sell their properties just to make money to gamble, but to me it doesn’t make any sense.


Most of them are finding it difficult to give up because they believe if they don’t give up, then a time will come when they will be able to win back all their losses, but if they can give up gambling right now, then everything they have lost in gambling is already gone. That's why they don’t always want to give up, and they are always motivated by their fellow gamblers not to give up. If you don’t give up, you will win big one day, but the funniest part is that, even if you don’t give up, you might end up not winning big.

Correct, we can't figure what's the true reason behind that kind of action from them, since every gambler has a different goals when doing gambling. It's not that easy to stop yourself doing gambling most especially if you're in worst state of being addicted, because no matter what you do, it might harm you even more, when it comes to emotional health, it would be better if there were advice to be obtained from health professionals, they know better the correct process of how a person can escape addiction.

People, in their way of seeing life, will always bet on something and that is great, and that is why they will never lose faith, we will always do things so that we can have the best Experience in betting, obviously everything is about winning, No one wants to lose, that is something that is noticeable in every thing and in what they think, so yes, although the operations always bet and lose they continue playing, but this is not an example of Masochism , and it shows that They have faith in doing things, because in particular Everything that is in favor of doing Something better to Increase our money is something welcome and that cannot be denied, even though we are always looking for good profits, things will turn out for the better. or bad and even if things go wrong , the people will not Stop losing their faith and hope to win this is Something that will always be fulfilled, there will be a lot to do so that they generate more in the Future , that is why Faith is said to Move Mountains .

You just have to look at the Example that Exists in the bets that are made with the lottery, there are many who fully trust that one day they will Win the Lottery and win the big money, and they assume and hold on to it, some have achieved it , Others don't, and it's difficult because things when it comes to lotteries are quite Difficult to Achieve , we must always emphasize our Probabilities and possibilities, according to this people don't Even bother to get how much they have. invested, how much they have spent, well, they don't care, their faith is intact, so I think this is a good Comparison of why People Continue to bet even though things can get very Complicated in the Future, Even if the money always loses , it's something that Doesn't Go away overnight, they just want to see it's time, and they look for it anywhere, this attitude is something that I really Admire.

Switching to other games when losing is a fairly common phenomenon among players when they lose. In fact, the main thing is to understand that this is all one path, which each player has his own. By switching to another game, we only continue to follow this path further, and also accelerate it, raising the stakes to a level that can very quickly destroy our deposit. I agree with you that we need to stop on this path and cool down, otherwise under the influence of strong emotions we will get a sad result. To some extent, we play with our emotions and ourselves. More calm and balanced people can play slowly, thinking about every decision. More emotional people should think twice before entering gambling, otherwise, checking if they are right, they may be left without pants, and do it in a couple of minutes.

Very funny though, if you lose in a game of slots you will change and what makes you feel you will get a win in the other type of game you are changing to ?. Gambling is something that is meant to be enjoyed and you actually don't want to play any game that you are not found of so switching games isn't really the issue but to make sure you don't get carried away trying to chase those loses you are getting, I believe in the principal of pausing rather than stopping or switching entirely to a different game, if you are experiencing loses on a constant then it's better you pause to gamble and give it a time for the losing session to pass out.

No matter how they describe gambling, I always see it as something of luck and small skills. Nobody is expert but you skills matters too, you need to make smart decision and if you make good one plus the lock, that's when they win, so luck is evanescent, it's not a static thing and that's why you need to always try and try to get it the next time. This is what people see in gambling, they try again and again just maybe there luck will come because trying is better than never trying at all.

However, some people don't know when to start and when to stop. Just because you are having bad luck in a row doesn't mean if you try again, you will win, you might lose and lose until you have nothing left to wager again and at this point, you need to get up on your ass and go home and if it's online, kindly close the app. Know when to say you are done for the day. I don't wait for 3 lost in a row in a week before closing up for the week, I don't use gambling when I get much loses, that help to think well and make decision next time.

Slots are the easiest type of gambling game to master, unlike sports betting and poker games, so even though there are many people who lose money because of slots, they will still continue to play and deposit because they really like it. My neighbor had just sold his younger brother's train yesterday, he created a scenario that the motorbike was stolen by someone else even though that didn't happen at all, he sold the train for capital to play slots, his younger brother almost put him in prison, he said Later when he wins he will return the money, rest assured that will never happen.
There are many gambling addicts out there who are trapped in their thoughts, without realizing that the thought of winning means they will continue playing even if they lose and that is a mindset that will be difficult to get rid of for those who are truly addicted to gambling.

When we do speak about different type of gambling then those are really the types on which you had mentioned on. It would really be just that depending into someone on which one they would really be getting involved with because this would really be always depending into someones interest because when we do choose up a game then it would really be neither luck based ones or strategic based ones.
Speaking about losing then it would be always that part of the game on which losing is inevitable. It is really just that there are people who cant really just that stop on point on which
they would really be tending to chase up those losses and believing that they could really be able to break even.This is why results and life conditions would really be
vary into a certain individual.

I've also noticed this strange tendency of gambling despite losses. Break it down. Gambling, especially online slots, is designed to be addictive. The music, images, and promise of a big victory are designed to draw players back regardless of their finances. Psychology and manipulation are involved, not just rationality.

Your funding question seems suspicious. Young gamblers may borrow or use critical funds. A gambling addiction may be behind this behavior, requiring intervention and support.

Your strategy of switching games to recover losses is widespread but wrong. Gambling's volatility and hazards remain. Understanding the risks and seeking help should be the priority, not finding a more "profitable" game. Gambling is enjoyment with a large loss potential, not a financial answer.

It is true that lately this type of slot gambling is increasingly popular and more and more people are involved in this type of game which of course the level of online gambling addiction is increasing, not only in your place but in my place too, almost most of the young people have been involved with this type of gambling, yes, which is quite alarming they don't have a job but strangely they can make deposits, I don't know where the money comes from but what is feared is addiction because obviously for situations that do not have a job and are involved in gambling to the point of addiction, it is clear that unexpected things are very likely to happen. As we know that addicted gamblers don't think about anything else but just want to gamble, and with a situation that is not possible in terms of finances then obviously there is a possibility of them committing crimes such as maybe stealing or robbing one of the shops, and that is what is feared, the fact is that gambling can change a person to be worse than before.

Not understanding what the odds are in gambling makes them incapable of accepting the reality of the end result in gambling, which means losing, and obviously for people who come with the intention of earning will usually always pursue winning to make a profit or to break even.
