Topic: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? - page 17. (Read 2279 times)

The reason why people still get engaged in gambling even after losing is because they tend to because of their quest to recover their  already lost money.  When a gambler loses in gambling,  he'll definitely want to gamble more in other to recover his money which in most cases leads to gambling addiction. It takes a very experienced and matured mind in gambling to stop gambling immediately after losing while to the newbies in gambling,  the best thing to do at that moment is to gamble as often as possible to ensure they reclaim their money. Gambling is one engagement that's deeper than it appears and that's why a lot of people today have been negatively affected by their gambling engagements and that's why it's very important for anyone who wants to  venture in to gambling  to always learn the best ways to stay responsible while gambling

Many people are either lazy or frustrated with life that the only thing that gives them joy is living on the false hope of gambling, they're not motivated to try out new things or start  legitimate hustling because they've built their life around gambling to the extent that they're mentally lazy now and don't see any other legitimate hustle as paramount. This is a very difficult situation they've found themselves in and are in  dire need of help.

You don't sound like a gambler here, changing the  game does not in any way guarantee you success. You either learn the game if you enjoy playing it, or switch to a game you enjoy playing, I believe its for fun and not an occupation, so if you're not having fun in a game, Yuh can switch to that which you enjoy playing.
Also, some games are easier to understand than others, if you understand a game's modulus operandi better than another, its enough reason to switch and not because you're losing, you can still switch and continue your losing trail. The new one you're switching to does not guarantee you any wins too.

Guess what? Gambling is very addictive and anyone who have ventured into it will always find a reason to go back to it again even if they lost everything they got. That's the funny aspect of gambling.  For instance, there are many people  out there that gambling is not meant for them because they do not come with that luck and ability to gamble, therefore it becomes difficult to win any stake they put in gambling but yet they cannot quit because something within them tells them to keep trying again and again.

I also have a friend who have gambled continously for a year but could barely burst off a win. It as always been lost over lost as he continued trying yet he won't stop. He has changed several games to basketball, volleyball, casinos and so on but yet, it does not fly and whenever you advise him to stop, he will tell you not to worry about it that there's no harm in trying for the last time. I don't know if he has stopped gambling now because I've not heard from him for a while now.

Gambling is a bad addiction that once one becomes addicted to this gambling one cannot easily come back from it. I have seen most of the youths who are unemployed indulge themselves in gambling most of all to earn money.But they don't know that it can be terrible for them when they can lose everything due to gambling addiction. I have seen some money hungry people who have their own job or business also get addicted to gambling and even end up back in debt.

It's important to recognize that merely changing the game in gambling doesn't guarantee success. Understanding your strengths and weaknesses within the realm of gambling is essential—identifying where you excel and where you often face losses. Some individuals stick to a particular game, not out of addiction but because they believe in their ability to win, possibly due to past substantial victories that keep them engaged even amid losses.

However, persistently gambling without a reliable income source can lead to borrowing money, a clear sign of addictive behavior. Encouraging friends to explore other games where they might have a better chance of winning is a supportive approach to mitigating potential issues.

Your friends are addicts who are unable to control themselves; they'll do anything to acquire some money in a variety of ways, like @m2017 already mentioned. Trying to recoup your losses is a common process that gamblers fall victim to, often leading to more losses in the process, and it keeps going in a vicious circle. The more money they spend, the more they lose. It's a never-ending circle that, if you don't put a stop to it, will eat away your savings in the blink of an eye.

It's neither the game nor the casino; you need to accept that you cannot always win; in reality, you're rarely going to win any significant amount of money. Statistics have proven that the majority of gamblers lose in the long-run, that's how casinos stay afloat, from addicted users that keep going in an effort to recover what they lost, only that is never happening.

In gambling, people are not only addicted, but also figures a way to fund their addiction. Can't explain how people make money to gamble, especially the young unemployed people. One thing is certain. Relations and parents fund these people to settle bills, and they use it to gamble. And the case of selling properties to gamble is not new to the physical casino, but could be in online. Sometimes people go broke out of chasing a goal in life. However, gambling is not a life goal, and shouldn't be considered as one. What matters to young people is making some bucks and financing their lifestyle. And the notion of gambling being a better form of earning money now clutters the brain of these young people and they go extra mile to earn in gambling. Their reaction gets difficult when they don't win the funds they expect. Changing games doesn't make any differences in gambling.

If the player is not strong enough to control himself in gambling, he won't win even though he tries other games. What should be of importance is stopping to gamble and switching addiction. Because these people are now addicted and won't be able to control themselves. It's of good practice to not wallow around gambling, looking for a better means of earning or making their gambling process easier. Hence the gambler need to figure out the best strategy for them to earn. As for the younger people earning money in strange ways it's not advisable to take some certain risks just to gamble. The process of gambling is a risk, and I don't see why most people now set to start the process in a painful way. It's all a result of the circulating noise on gambling. The younger generation are moving too fast and increasing in number in terms of addiction. Stopping numerous losses needs for the gambler to stay stabilize their mind and change what they think about gambling.

You already have the answer to your question in your own post. The reason why your friends keep playing gambling despite their frequent loss is because they think they've invest so much already and would probably want to recover their money back from gambling. That is one damage addiction can do to gamblers and you'll not realize what trap you have fallen into until you manage to overcome the situation.

Changing of game is another alternative but have you considered individual preferences and area of interest? I guess no. Some gamblers are only good in a specific game and it will be difficult to change game when they have no idea about other games. And you know giving up on what you believe in is not that easy as it seems, it requires a gradual process. Despite that it's unhealthy to keep gambling when the lose is too much, addicted gamblers believe that it is the way forward and win will occur any moment.

Your friend’s goal is simple - to complain about his difficult gambling fate, when he constantly loses, while he certainly deserves to win. And yes, that’s right, such whining only makes him look stupid.

Temporary part-time jobs, loans, debts from friends and relatives, criminal origin of money, such as theft and robbery. They are like drug addicts - they have nothing, but they still find money from somewhere for their dose gambling.

Because they expect that on the next bet, they will probably hit the jackpot, which will solve all their financial problems.

Such gamblers are at the mercy of their illusions.

Accept your defeat and losses without trying to win back. Accept that what you lose at the casino cannot be returned. This is the only way to break this vicious circle that is sucking your money out of your pockets.

It is naive to hope for luck in a game against a casino when statistics are on its side, which say that almost all players lose in one way or another.

Whose side has the win rate is the one who makes money. Not on the side of the gamblers.

Changing the game you play doesn't automatically mean you'll win. It's important to understand your strengths and weaknesses in the world of gambling ,where you excel and where you often face losses. Some individuals stick to the same game not necessarily due to addiction, but because they believe in their ability to win. Perhaps they've had substantial victories in the past, which keeps them invested even during periods of loss.

For those who gamble without any source of income will result in borrowing money, which shows more signs of an addicted gambler. You may want to talk with friends, encouraging them to and tell them to try playing other games where they might have a better chance of winning.

It is only addiction that can make one to be playing gambling all the time even if one is still losing in gambling, someone who is not addicted to gamble will take a break when their is continous lose in gambling.  Another factor too that can make a gambler to continue playing even if their are steady lose is when gambling is seeing as a source of income,  people will do everything to get a win from it which they will not mind if they lose or not. Taking gambling as a source of income and addicted to gambling can always make one to look for a way to get money ,even if it means selling an important property just to fulfill the urge of playing gambling.

If I'm honest, every night I see young people who don't work gather in hangouts to play slots. Some even sell their vehicles just to gamble. I have a neighbor who sacrificed his only car to be able to gamble. The level of addiction is quite severe and he can no longer control himself. It's a bit strange to have to sell ownership to gamble, because for me it's too much. We have certainly seen the impact of gambling everywhere and misplaced ourselves. I mean making gambling a way to get rich is wrong thinking. Because they can only play by relying on luck.

Apart from slots, where I live the most played gambling is lottery and it is mostly dominated by older people. So far I have only noticed 2 popular types of gambling, while soccer betting here is still quite rarely seen.

Well, you are right about people or gamblers being greedy with money. What's driving people or gamblers to keep on playing is the money itself. They want to earn money or hit a jackpot in gambling because they are hoping that it could change their lives, which is not the case, and I don't know why people keep on believing that they could attain the same luck as those gamblers who get instantly rich because of playing gambling.

I also don't think that what the OP said about changing the game will do anything; anything related to gambling or gambling games will also have the same effect. It's all about losing more money from any gambling games. If a gambler has the goal of earning money or making a living from gambling, then they are not on the right path, as gambling is supposed to be for fun and entertainment only. Other than that, gambling can't have a positive effect.

Yes, and this addiction is incredibly strong. It is very difficult to get rid of it so easily in one moment. I once had this. I played all day long, even when I lost all my money. What made me start again? This is an incredible craving and desire to win back. All this together gives a very evil effect, which is accompanied by some kind of intoxicating state.

It was just a miracle that I was able to escape from this chaos. How could I? I can’t even imagine how this happened. Probably some higher power helped me avoid a huge debt hole and financial abyss.

sometimes people very greedy for money, they just want to play only to chase money that they can't actually get. that's why they don't hesitate to continuously deposit money into their accounts, whether it's from their salary, begging, or stealing, just to have fun and chase the jackpot from their gambling.

you know that the bad nature of humans is that they keep chasing something that they can't actually get, and that is sometimes what traps players.

This type of behavior is seen in almost every gambler who likes to gamble after repeated losses and when they lose their money they find a way and start gambling again. There could be several reasons for this. Either the gambler is an addict or he enjoys gambling. But gambling is an addictive activity for those who do not have a job or money. Fun in gambling is usually only possible for those who have more money and who can earn money regularly. I have few friends who are in debt due to gambling. They realize they shouldn't have gambled this way but when they get some money in hand they try to get money from gambling again. I call it addiction. If a gambler can't come back from this situation then it is definitely a big problem for him.

This is also similiar to what is happening to your friends who continues gambling even without making profits so @ OP, you don't need to feel bothered about why your friends doesn't want to desist from gambling even as much of their losses.
Swapping to another section of gambling might not be the solution and your eagerness goal to recover your lost capitals is where the problem lies because winning in the gambling is never certained and your desperacies to recover your losts might tense to imbalance your fitness while gambling and profer you to more looses.

The truth is that gambling is not for everybody and so doing, if you tries your lock and it doesn't work out for you just QUIT if you don't imply gaming for fun rather than making profits.

Gambling is a stress reliever to some of them and to other people, they do believe that gambling is their one way ticket to a good or luxurious life and so they end up playing and playing even if it's all losses because they knew that all that money would be worth it because of the potential wins. That's what I think is the reason why they're still gambling even after all these years of losses and people telling them that it's a waste of their time and money.

They think that if they keep playing they will eventually hit a big win or a bonus, that's why most don't change slots when they're losing. It's all random chance as far as slots go and eventually you will get a decent win, the issue is how big will that win be and will it be more than what you lost? Most likely no, but as long as you're not losing your house to play and just having some fun with extra money, you should be fine.

The risk of addiction, emphasizes the importance of self-control to avoid continuous, uncontrolled play. Additionally, it notes that some individuals gamble for fun, exercising moderation by playing with sufficient capital, at specific times, and when overall conditions are favorable.
