I've a friend of mine who always complain that ever since he started gambling he haven't won a good amount, instead he'll be winning less money than what he expected but he can't stop. So I'm asking what do you suggest he should do at this case. For me I told him that he should know that gambling it's a game of risk and luck, but with the constant betting you might win the amount you've at mind someday. So what are your suggestions towards this.

Guy, I want to answer the first question on the title of this thread. The reason is because they already know that they can not win all the time and they can nir also lose all the time. Gamblers knows that the possibility of winning their bet depend on chance and probability. They know that if they gambler today and did not win, they might win on the next day. Gambling is non stop for those that understand the rules so well.

To answer your next question, your friend have two choices which are; he should stop gambling or he should continue gambling. If he stops, he will not have to deal with gambling losses again and if he continues to gambling, losses are inevitable.

This is not wrong advice, because basically we're required to continue gambling if we want to win according to our expectations, it's impossible for us to win from gambling itself if we don't gamble, LOL. But the advice you give to your friend is too risky, if he has run out of the special money allocated for gambling, he will continue to gamble with money that should not be used for gambling to get what he wants.

I think he subconsciously trying to win back all the money he lost. It appears that he may want to quit but he is still pulled by the losses and he’s always giving it one last try. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in that scenario where you simply want your money back and don’t want any interest or extra, that may be his case (depending on how much he has lost). Best you can do is advise him that he should take it slow and steady if he wants to continue, and also, gambling shouldn’t be his main source of income.

when they experience defeat there is a possibility that they will not stop, with gambling which usually ends in defeat but they gamble again to win back everything they have lost, sometimes reasoning that the defeat that has occurred is almost a win, so they think they can win. in gambling that they will do again, of course it is not a guarantee that they can win, even though in their gambling they almost won, but that doesn't mean that by gambling again they can win again. This possibility will make them addicted and experience more losses.
Because when someone is addicted, it will be difficult to stop gambling even if losses occur to him, and when he is advised or given advice not to gamble, it is also very difficult for someone who is addicted because basically every addiction will stop when his conscience has the intention. to stop.
So someone who continues to gamble and experiences defeat or losses finds it very difficult to stop because their ego or curiosity is so big that they think they will win.

This is a bad advise for your friend. He might think this and won't stop playing until he literally turn his life into chaos. It's in the nature of the people and most gamblers to get greedy when winning and get tempted to win back the losses if he losses. The best advise for me is to let him know that the losses won't come back and it's pointless to win it back as it would only result in more losing, instead just use what amount he is willing to risk and just entertain himself and in no time he'll win with the goal of having fun and not because he is trying his luck or winning back his losses.

Your friend has a potential addiction with gambling as he always desire to win a huge amount, what he had in mind was to recover what he had lost for so many times. Partly, it's proven that gambling involves the risk despite of the fun and lucky experience. Most of the people who's behind this activity tend to suffer of loss compared to winning.
What I can suggest with him is to minimize gambling activity, and don't expect for more lucky bets to win that instantly. Just bare in mind that by luck is the only probability that winning big amount is our only chance for this, and not by any reason.

The hart of a gambler is always filled with hope and when a gambler has hope he always beliefs that when he lose today tomorrow he will win that's the main reason why even when a gambler losses his money on bets he will still gamble. Anyway always gambling makes us get addicted, it doesn't matter whether a gambler is gambling everyday or not, if you are lucky to win a bet any day, you won't skip it because it's a lucky day.

They chase losses, that's all there is to it. They can't get over the fact that those losses aren't going anywhere anytime soon and that they're never going to get it back and so they falsely believe that they'll be able to win it all back if they just gamble more when that's not how things work anyway, it's never a possibility to ever get it back. If people stop thinking about gambling as a way to get out of the poverty line and think that gambling is the key to a wealthy lifestyle, maybe we would see less and less of this kind of people and we would eventually stop wondering why those people do what they do.

Of course most gamblers have been in the same shoe and worse part is you expect to regain your loses without extra but if you are lucky to get there, you start looking for same extra that you don't intend to. This is usually the story of gamblers, as to the reason that they lost even deeper. Emotion is the cause of loses, a gambler who is good with controlling his emotion is probably going to get his bets. Playing many times or fewer times won't really matter anything without proper guide to our emotions.

Gratitude buddy! He should show some gratitude and stop the complains, the complains can only mean one thing, and that's that he is greedy and not contented, whereas there a thousand if not millions of gamblers out there that will really make do of that small win your friend is making as profit from his gambling. Not quite a lot of gamblers get lucky to win a cent since this year started.

Your advice to him is not the best, ultimately, gambling is an activity of luck no doubt, but consistency in engaging in it doesn't make for or attract quick luck for bigger wins. The chances could be that while you gamble consistently you still get to experience countless losses while someone else gambling ones a while get luck to hit a jackpot. How unfair that sounds, right Huh

But it's the reality of gamble.

He should be happy that he is even privileged to be winning a little sum of money, even though it were not his desired amount, because one thing about gambling is that no gambler ever pray to lose a bet, but yet that doesn't mean you aren't likely to either lose or win, which is why there is always this popular saying for people to always and only gamble with an amount they can afford to lose, and not gambling so as to impress others, which I will say is the best advice I can give for now, because gambling everyday is never a guarantee for big win, but rather it drags you closer to the possibility of winning big.

For me, every person has different reasons but still continues to gamble.
The combination of psychological, biological, social, and cognitive factors can contribute to the cycle of gambling behavior, even in the fac of repeated losses. I know a lot of people like this, friends or some family members.
Breaking this cycle often requires awareness, support, and intreven tions such as therapy or support groups.

Personal feelings and emotions like frustration and regrets. It could also just be desire of becoming rich or the idea that they just enjoy the experience. It depends on the individual actually; we have our own reasons in the first place of why we are doing something. There are two sides to consider; playing despite of losses because you lost that much and you have to make up for it or continuing to bet because you can afford the amount you've lost.

I wouldn't say the same thing. I doubt that with constant betting we can actually win big someday.
If it were so then everybody would be betting these days in the hope of winning big some or the other day.
Since we already know its just pure luck, we shouldn't pay more focus into it and just casually bet withing our budget.
May be luck shines some day then we can win big otherwise we wouldn't need to stress so much anyway.

Well, betting continuously would basically increase your chance of winning because you are adding attempts to do so however it won't lessen the tendency of losing. The more you bet, the more you'd be exposed to the chance that you'll win but the question is, until when would you be able to do so? What would blow up first, you winning or you losing everything you have?

You're already telling him good about gambling which is about risks and luck and then you've turned around said this. While it's true that it's possible that he may win that amount that he's aiming but at what cost? That is going to cost him a lot before he finally gets to that point of his bets that he'd won such amount. And when he losses, he's still going to continue and I thought your goal in helping him is to make him realize that he's losing more money if he keeps on betting after bets.
The feeling of being a loser is one of the many reasons why a gambler keeps on going despite the heavy loss that he's already got. You bet it, they'd continue no matter what is the amount they've lost already because their goal isn't really about hitting the amount they have in their minds but to recover the huge losses that they've made. One way to stop that is to accept the losses and admit that you'll be having hard time in recovering them for which will take time if you continue to do so.

Well, we all know that gambling is all about luck and risk as u said and it can be also addictive if we constantly gamble which will not turn out well, which might lead him to keep lose more money with the hope of winning huge amount of money someday. So for me I would like to say that he should not have that mindset of winning big before he could stop gambling, I don't know if I will say gambling has this spirit of bad luck each time someone has it in mind or pray to win big, it's that time someone will keep losing and you will be wondering what's wrong so instead he should just gamble as an entertainment and also know the risks involved when someone becomes an addict, this way will really help him a lot and as a good friend you are, you have to always encourage him and keep advising him, though it's not really easy to stop knowing fully well, you have lose a lot, you can also help him by telling him to set limit on how to spend and the time he will also spend, so that you both can go out to do other things that can make him happy and more him to get money too.

Ask your friends what their purpose is in gambling. If your friend is gambling to make the money he wants, then he should be aware that he will lose money. If your friend gambles for fun, then losing money due to losses is normal for him without having to complain about why he can't win a lot.

From the beginning of the story, I know that your friend is a gambling addict who continues to chase his luck to win money. Gambling is not made that way so his mindset must be changed so that he can ultimately become a responsible gambler. Don't chase the money and the wins, but get pleasure from it despite the wins and losses.

True, I also think that the friend of OP is aiming for a good profit through gambling which is we know is difficult to achive or maybe impossible unles you are a lucky one, but from the looks of it the person is gambling or continue on gambling because he still cling to the hope that he might win a big amount someday, but I doubt that he will stop there, I dont want to judge but it looks like if the gambler that OP said will win a huge amount I'm sure he will still play gambling until that winning amount will be gone again, I currently also playing gambling and just for fun so I have an allocated funds for that and I said to myself if I once hit a really big jackpot I will limit or totally stop gambling, instead focus on making that win grow even more by investing or building a business, you friend OP should have a mindset.

This sounds like your buddy is playing some casino game's,and honestly when it comes to casino games and winning,..one needs to have a strategy of how they will win,one needs to know how to manage their bankroll with the aspect of risk management, failure not to have any of these guarantees failure!! And not forgetting the number one reason most gambler's fail Is because of greed, and I suspect our friend could be over risking...

Let him adjust his play to small denominations to try stay in the game longer, and if he can let him find games with good RTP rather than picking some difficult game that doesn't oftenly pay.

He needs to manage the little amount that he is winning on a regular because there are people who have even placed the same bet on a regular but barely see a single winning to take home.

One thing about winning a big amount is going for games with good odds. Also, the amount you use in placing the bet will also determine what the potential winnings will be like, but your friend should learn to minimise his risk; he shouldn't try to chase big winnings, which reduces his chances of winning a particular bet.

One of the biggest problems for gamblers and it is difficult to change when the gambler does not really expect a situation where they should be wiser when gambling.

The big expectation to hit the jackpot is always a problem because in the end such expectations and ambitions actually kill themselves in the end because it cannot be denied that until now the problem of gamblers before they are addicted is that they cannot control their emotions properly in gambling so that when they make a small profit they are never satisfied because the goal is a bigger profit but that can make the situation more complicated because in the end what happens is that they expect too much in gambling even though we know the ratio of losing is far greater than winning.

I'd tell him to keep his expectations low and accept the losses because returning once more to place more bets will always favor the casinos.

You can see that the person that brought this thread is confusing people. On the topic title, it says that his friend is losing but on what he posted, he said his friend is winning small. Which one should we believe? Is it winning small or losing?

A gambler should know that all money he is using to gamble can all be lost. People should not look for money through gambling and he should not chase losses either.
