Topic: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? - page 7. (Read 2279 times)

I might have to disagree wit you even though you are right to some extent, switching games in while in a long losing streak sometimes does help to turn every thing around to a round of winnings, so, let's just say that changing games does work in some instances and for some gamblers, while it still does not work in some instances and for some gamblers as well.

In the nutshell, I will say that it still all boils down to how lucky a gambler is, but it did be worthy of note that every game sometimes have their own luck in it, this is why its possible for a gambler to be losing in a particular Game, but the moment he or she switches to another game, he or she wins almost immediately or after a couple of loses.
So, overall, let's just say that switching to another game in the middle of a long losing streak is still a gambling strategy that does work for some lucky gamblers.

Luck does not change with the changing games, if we are lucky we would have won on the same game that we are playing and there is no need to change the game. I will prefer that you should play your favorite game, as this way, you will be able to enjoy the game, regardless of the win or loss in that game.


If you are losing in gambling, i will prefer that we quit the gamble for the day, rather than changing the games and see if it is better for us or not. If it was something technical, i would have recommended to play the games in which you are technically sound but since the gambling only depends upon the luck, therefore you can win any game if luck is on your side.
People have high hopes that they will win in gambling, therefore they keep on gambling without caring about the loses. Others may see other gamblers winning big and changing their lifestyle, therefore they keep on trying that one day they can change their fortune with the help of gambling.

I agree with that, changing games doesn't mean eliminating the chance of losing, because it's the same, but the only difference is the type of game. I have a friend who gambles like this, where he gambles on one game and if he thinks every round is bad then he will change games in the name of "maybe", for example. "This one game is bad, maybe in other games it's not" it could be true, but the most important thing is that the opportunity to lose is still there and cannot be avoided, let alone eliminated.

I agree with that, I myself rely on luck in gambling, because in my opinion that is the most basic thing and in my opinion it is luck that will determine whether we win or not at gambling. Even though there is some gambling that does require skill, in my opinion it only increases the chances of winning, not making it easier to win. and indeed, in my opinion, many people gamble without being smart or intelligent, so they experience big losses.

Not only habits but also a feel-good effect called dopamine, there is something in winning in gambling that attracts people to try to repeat it over and over again, and when they lose, they are challenged to regain their losses, this is why they continue playing and continue losing their money.

Because gambling affects the mind and finances, you can lose everything in one sitting whereas in smoking and drinking you cannot lose your fortune smoking and drinking but you can lose your health on these three


Because gamblers are envious when they see other people posting their winnings they are motivated to keep on betting so they can do the same when they win but in the end, they lose a lot of money and hurt their finances.

It's not been smart, there is nothing smarty about this move, switching games won't erase the losing part when gambling, and you even trying to get your money back makes you stupid, you don't chase your losses in gambling, in short, there is no strategy that can beat losses in gambling, if this is so why is anyone even trying to beat gambling?

Just accept that luck is all you have left to count on and risk only what you can afford to lose, some people are not smart at all, if this is something anyone calls been smart they are completely the opposite of been smart, so far from it.

There is no safe gambling too, if all you want is safe gambling, do it without place bets with your money, this is safe gambling because there is nothing to lose here, there is also nothing to win either.

We receive feel good hormones from doing gambling, even if know that there are consequences on what we are doing, we still do it for the sake of enjoyment and making money from gambling. It's hard to resist this vice especially if you experience winning, just like other vices it is hard to stop and it can cause addiction.

I believe that the adrenaline rush we get from doing gambling is what make it addicting as it was my own experience. Though now that I have a low gambling activity, I hardly felt any anymore. Maybe it's the repetitive gambling activities that makes me not play regularly.

Being able to get rich is what makes people return to gambling because they still want to try even though their chances are not that great. They are even more eager to win when they have lost and don't realize that it will only cost them all their money if they don't use limits when gambling. The longer and more often they gamble, the more they will become addicted to gambling, whereas once they are addicted to gambling, they will not realize that something has changed with them. They will not want to give up gambling because gambling has become a goal in their life, even though they should have other life goals to achieve. Maybe gamblers should be aware of their gambling habits so that they can understand that they must immediately change their habits before things get worse.

          -  Apart from what you said, there are still many gamblers who rely on luck to suddenly become rich from gambling. And the others are really only after having fun, even though they are also happy when they win at gambling. There is no gambler who will be sad or unhappy when he wins gambling.

Or the others still continue because it has become their routine or habit, the type that their body is really looking for, and maybe because of the addiction that has developed in their character as well.

Gambling can generate money that's why some people consider it as an investment when they are a gamble, but you cannot consider it a stable source of money cause gambling is based on luck, and luck wouldn't be on your side, it can even last for a long time before you made your first win. Even if you put a high expectation the probability and the possibility of winning wouldn't change, that's why people should not listen to people who say "You should not quit, you might win in the next round" or something like that.

Jobless people are choosing gambling as their chance to change their life because they choose the easy way than finding a stable job, though I don't blame them because, in some areas like in my country, it is really hard to make a decent job that can provide for yourself or your family. Worse is just to satisfy their urge or say that it is for entertainment, where you can observe that your situation is difficult.

For the same reasons why people still drink and smoke even though they know that it is killing them.

Habits.

Gambling also makes you greedy so it is more dangerous than smoking and drinking. Not health-wise directly but since your health also depends on your finances, one can even say that gambling affects your health more than smoking.

Gambling gives you an illusion that you can become rich without having to work hard. In the end it only makes you poorer.

Their are people who have already made decisions in their mind that gambling is what they can use in generating money for themselves,  and they feel they can always get a win in every game they play. It is very hard for them to stop even when they are loosing because their expectations from gambling is very high. Having a high expectation in gambling is what lead people into addiction that they can't just stay of from gambling even if they are losing.

People who are jobless will always try their best to raise money just to satisfy their gambling urge, they do not struggle on how to raise money to play gambling,  if taking loan is the only option for them they will go as far of doing that.

Yes, almost the problem of gambling is addiction. we can't blame that because addiction is a global problem. but it shouldn't be a big problem again, because today many risk management companies will help you to avoid that risk. That pay is quite commensurate when compared with your loss when you can't control that addiction. Actually, the money he uses for gambling can be transferred or he can used for trading or investment. if he use a manager to manage where the money to play gambling and investment, I really sure he will fine and have stable finances for their life.

I hope that the situation you have mentioned will always be the case for most gamblers. It means even if addicted, they can keep up being responsible for their finance which is good since why they enjoy gambling, they don't have to worry about the worst part. It depends on a gambler how they will make themselves responsible at all times. That behavior can only be learned by ourselves and no one can help us being good at that part.

Sadly, not all gamblers are like that. They hug being addicted gamblers and ended up a shit gambler. The reality in gambling world.

It's good if you can control yourself when you win. But be careful if you risk a lot of money in the hope of winning because that doesn't guarantee you can always win from gambling. You can only place bets according to what you can afford and no more so that you won't suffer many losses. Playing gambling doesn't require losing a lot of money but just enough. Unfortunately, those who lose in gambling think about increasing the amount of money they will use to bet and think that they are getting closer to winning. Those who lose will return to gambling continuously because they want to recover their losses and also win from gambling. You must be able to limit your gambling activities because if not, you will only lose more money, and it will be difficult for you to recover those losses. So you should be careful when gambling because many temptations will make you return to gambling with more money.

When I gamble, I keep winning as long as I control myself. When I gamble excessively, I bet more money in hopes of winning. Whenever I bet more, I lose. From gambling.  I don't know if it's an addiction or not after trying so hard to get myself to quit. Sometimes I think I'll quit gambling but after a few days I start gambling again so I've thought about quitting gambling several times.  But could not give.

And it is this expectation that is always the starting point for gamblers to experience problems in their gambling activities, I understand and realize that in gambling there is a chance of winning but on the other hand we also have to admit that the risk of losing is there and can even be much worse if you are involved in an excessive way but unfortunately most gamblers especially those who are too focused on winning seem to ignore this fact, I don't know the problem but what is certain is that all of this is because of the hope they put on winning at the end of the session, even though gambling is about winning and losing and that means that not only winning can happen at the end of the session but losing is also a more certain possibility.

The fact that there is hope for a win at the end of the session makes a person put a lot of faith, and as you said that is what makes a gambler not seem to mind the losses they experience, and also that is because they are too confident that they will be able to win, even though no one knows and it is possible that the winnings they get are much smaller than the amount of money they have sacrificed, on the other hand chasing wins to break even is a completely wrong way because gambling has absolutely no certainty and guarantees of anything to produce. The point is that we have to re-understand what gambling is really about, and of course only self-control and limits can prevent everything from being too significant.

People always keep playing gambling although they never win a single game because they dream to win a jackpot someday. They think one win will cover all the loses, but it is actually a wrong mindset. There is no gurantee about when we may win the game, it is possible we already lost too much funds before we win a small money.

Another reason is the people play gambling for fun only. They don't care about winning or losing, the main thing is they can get an enterteainment. If their purpose is for entertainment, it makes sense that they never stop gambling although they spent money everyday.

The last reason is addiction. People who get addiction won't think to stop gambling. As long as they have money, they will use the money for gambling.

usually gambling addicts like this are very fluent in playing and really enjoy every game. and usually they have managed their finances well. maybe even the results of his work as a taxi driver, only 10-20% are used for deposits. so even if you lose, it doesn't affect your finances, and if you win, you might consider it luck.

I once met a taxi driver on UBER who told me he is gambling daily and it really doesn't matter for him what slots he plays or if he plays sports or casino. The only thing that matters to him is to play and nothing else and this is a very strong sign of addiction because at this point that person just enjoys that feeling of losing and he doesn't get bothered by it anymore.

In addition not this, peop normally gambles because they wanted to have fun and they are not minding the cost for that, getting fun is not only on the occasion of when you're always winning, if that was the target or mindset of the gambler then he's loosing already because things cannot be done that way, we are gambling all because there's this understanding of having fun and not that we have the mentality of making money at the cause and later got disappointed because we couldn't achieve our aim, a regular gambler should know this and gamble under this same condition of understanding.
