Addiction to gambling goes beyond pulling a lever or playing cards. Your brain lights up like a Christmas tree after your first major triumph. Like drugs, man. You follow that feeling even when the chances are against you because it hijacks your reward system. It goes beyond luck. It depends on your brain wiring, life events, and money and risk beliefs. Not everyone is susceptible, and it's hard to predict who will tumble down that rabbit hole

What can you do? Man, be aware. When playing, you must be mindful of your emotions. Thinking you're invincible or about to win big is a red flag. It's time to reconsider. In the zone, it's hard to accomplish that. Flashing lights and coins striking the tray can make you lose track of time. Set limits, know when to leave, and have a support system if needed

Hahaha 😂😂, saying that a gambler's brain lights up lik a Christmas tree is really a perfect description of a gambler's reaction after they have either won or lose in a bet. If they stake and win on the first hand, they will be filled with enthusiasm to stake more, believing that the luck will run in their favor again and when they lose, they will have enough enthusiasm to stake more, believing that they will win that time. Funny how some gamblers react and fall into addiction at the end of the race.

This is why it is said that there are people that due to their genetic inheritance are more likely to become addicts, the reward system on your brain, aka dopamine, will reward you with some dopamine after a win, however in most people that reward will be on the small side and this will allow you to stop whenever you want, however for some people the reward will be so stimulant that they will keep gambling just to experiment that feeling again, regardless of the consequences this behavior may have on their finances.

It's not impossible, but only if that amount is realistic. Like , take me for example. I'm happy with winning $200 with my 20 cents stake. That's my goal so to speak. And I've succeeded in that several times. But if my goal was to win a million, maybe I wouldn't achieve it in my whole life. See? Tell your friend to set realistic goals.

Man, it's a x1,000. It's like if I bet $10 and win $10,000. I don't know how many times you say that's happened to you but it's got to be very infrequent.

Yes, sure it happens not that often. I mean, in Dice I was winning with 1,000x multiplier many times, I think close to hundred times maybe, but my stake was only a fraction of a cent, so, my won amount wasn't that big either. I remember it was only once when I bet $0.015 and won $15 with 1,000x multiplier. It was only once. Other times my winnings were around $2-$3, not more.

But with slots it's a different story. Since I couldn't bet with less than $0.20, I won pretty good amounts a couple of times:

and I was quite happy with it.

You are right mate. A gambler is not supposed to gamble when they are not mentally prepared for such activity because it can result to loses even in a situation where they are not supposed to lose. Gambling do with mental and emotional readiness, if someone is not prepared for such activities, they can never performan well and can never catch the fun they have even wanted to archive.

And when can you say that someone is emotionally ready to gamble? Because there are times when you can just be stressed out due to a busy day or the long distance covered by driving,

or anything else that could lead to the person getting tired but doesn't necessarily affect his mind or way of thinking.

Aside from the fact that he needs some rest, such a person can relax. Why could receiving air and placing a few bets in gambling be considered such behaviour as the person not being ready??

People keep hoping that they will gain back their losses with the profits if they will continuously playing gambling, they will just realize those things until they lose a lot of money, and people around them, and seem to be lost on their path due to excessive playing of gambling. It is too hard to please other people to stop if they even on themselves can't step their emotions to play more but if you really take care, make him realize what are the cons or impacts of playing gambling so at least that he can reminiscence what things he is doing.

It's a rare opportunity, getting someone that listens to and practices those responsible gambling strategies. Some may pay less attention due to the losses they've experienced in gambling, but, once a session starts the player will forget it all. His emotions, wouldn't let him stop, indeed. How about gaining back all the lost money? That's a familiar self questions that keeps popping out from the player's mind.

Personally, I do think the next wager would be the time to win back all the lost money. Yet it keeps going from one stage to another, until the money is speedily spent with no remorse of repeating same mistakes. This shows how magnetic the losing streak works. It holds on to the players like a magnet and drags it wherever direction it feels. Casino utilize any method of holding the player's time and money. Hence players who don't obey any meaning gambling strategy will pay for their mistakes.

Big wins obtained by people with big ambitions, most of yesterday's money winnings run out and come back again. and even big money winnings will disappear again and that's what I see from around me. without realizing it, a lot of time is wasted because of gambling, because you play too much. Over time there will be a position where we succeed in getting a big win

Yes, this happens to greedy gamblers who want a big win, but if they don't get it, they will continue to gamble until they get a big win. I even think that even if one day the gambler wins a big amount, I'm not sure he will stop soon, he will continue because he will continue to feel less than his winnings for the time he has used, especially if he calculates the amount of his gambling expenses so far and his winnings have not covered his losses, then he will continue, I think this will only end in vain because we will not get more winnings our total expenses so far.

Instead of chasing big wins, it's better to be grateful for the wins you have, even if they are small, being too ambitious to win big is too risky, especially since we have to invest money first to gamble continuously. If the money you have runs out, you won't be able to gamble anymore and pursue that ambition, so Whatever happens, we must be able to accept that if we lose, give yourself time to rest, don't chase too much ambition to win big.

I have never seen someone who has been destroyed by gambling and then stop gambling. I think people who have entered the world of gambling will play even if they play often or rarely gamble. Expectations that are outside the mind poison the brain using emotions that become inappropriate.
If play gambling with detailed losses in terms of time, money or other materials, this will never end and will continue to be in the world of gambling

Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more?

In my opinion, because gambling gives gamblers great hope to win and make a lot of money, this makes gamblers continue to gamble even though they often lose.
And most gamblers think, if I fail to win on the first bet, maybe I will succeed or win on the next bet. And if I still lose then I will play again, and continue like that because I have hope of winning when I play again and continue to have the same feeling and hope to make up for previous losses which ultimately result in bigger losses. And they think giving up after losing is an act of cowardice, even though this act is more than just cowardly.

And the most important thing is to bet with full awareness, because playing with full awareness will give you the ability to control yourself and also be able to master the game, not the game controlling you.

The greed factor is also very influential, the player always wants more and if he loses,then greed takes over from what was lost and a vicious circle occurs. People who do not have self-control definitely have nothing to do in gambling, this is a golden rule.Greed is a sequence of gambling addiction.There are, of course, another group of factors, but this is the main one.

I am only going to post based on my own experience. I do lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more because I am hoping to double or increase my gambling capital. It's like I feel weak when I can't gamble to recover my losses. When I have nothing to do and remember my losses, I usually end up gambling again because of that. Maybe it's also to pass the time. Eventhough I really want to stop gambling, I can't control myself into gambling because of my losses, hoping to get a profit quickly and recovery my losses.

absolutely mate you are right that is the common mistakes of everyone of us and I'll experienced it too. I loss my money and then I am thinking that what if I bet more so that when I will win I get my money back. Then I'll bet and bet but in reality I'll loss a lot of money. Which is I don't think the outcome. But I realized that is a big mistake that I made cause chasing losses will bring us more losses so when we will loss today then take a break for a while and then bet after a few days.

most gamblers are like that, where it is very difficult for them to get out of the gambling circle because they are still held back by their ego which says that they should be able to win from it. they keep trying and trying until they can get the win they hope for, but without realizing it, they are trapped in a gambling circle and it is difficult to get out of it.

i myself also feel that when i have a losing streak, i tend to want to gamble more money, but fortunately i can still control my desire to gamble even though at some times i choose to go all-in, but that is quite rare. but without realizing it until now i was still gambling and i kept returning to it no matter how hard i wanted to stop.

Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more?

Humans have the nature of greed and greed and humans are given lust and reason. If someone has entered the gambling arena, that is the biggest test that many people face, There are those who escape the gambling trap and there are also those who continue to gamble without stopping, they only aim to win when betting.

Losing and winning have become a part of gambling players towards their users, so the test comes when we lose at gambling, that's when we use common sense or bad sense, if we think well we will think that gambling is not part of life, so leave it, don't come there again, because I never win and gambling makes me lose, On the other hand, our hallucinations say otherwise, of course our minds will think that we have a big desire, no matter what we lose or lose, the important thing is that we can bet.

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.

I don’t know why something won’t be beneficial to you and you will find it difficult to stop. If you are gambling just for the sake of money, then you should be able to stop gambling if you are not making the money that you are expecting. Most people who are gambling and can’t stop gambling even when they are losing believe they are definitely going to make money from gambling if they don’t give up. I believe that’s just what most people gambling for the sake of money are always having in mind.

If you are the type that’s gambling for fun, then you shouldn’t complain about the money you are winning or losing, you should just gamble freely, and I am sure you will be able to stop gambling whenever you want. Also, you will be gambling with the amount you know if you lose, it’s not going to affect you.

I'm going to tell you about one of the reasons why it's so hard to quit even though you already have the intention to quit, one of the reasons is that you still have a grudge against the losses you've experienced which makes you always think of pursuing recovery in gambling which actually makes you even more excessive which indirectly makes the amount of your loss even greater.

This is why a gambler is always advised to only bet the amount they can afford to lose, not least because by having this acceptance, it is less likely for you to feel unacceptable about losing, which means that it is less likely for you to act to chase previous losses. So in my opinion the only way if you really want to stop gambling then you must be able to give up something that has been lost there, only this is the key.

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.

If he complains then it is better to stop gambling, because gambling is not only about risk and luck, but also the ability to bear losses, if he complains it means he cannot afford to experience losses, even though it is impossible to always profit and also always lose but if he hopes too much being able to win big can make him frustrated and trying to catch up with what is expected.
Consistently betting can open up a big opportunity to win a big amount but the capital he loses could also be bigger, as long as he uses the money he can afford to lose it shouldn't be a problem but because he complains it could be that the money is not what he can afford to lose, so it could be dangerous for him.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with wanting to recover losses, but if you think about it, this will only make us lose more money than make money. with the feeling that I really want to recover the losses that will exist when the gambling I do ends in defeat, I also feel that way. but taking big risky actions is not the solution. Even though sometimes we have to be brave enough to take risks, we have to be able to see what we are doing. When it comes to gambling, it's best not to take bigger risks, because the profits cannot be guaranteed. It's just a suggestion, after that all control is up to each individual.
Most gamblers certainly cannot control themselves when gambling which ends in defeat or victory, because it cannot be hidden that gambling has a strong attraction, so that every player often experiences a loss of self-control. Hopefully, what has happened can be used as a lesson so that it doesn't happen again next time.

Yes, it usually happens around us and I once had a friend who was a gambler. He often said that he would stop gambling for a month if he won big and would go on holiday with his family, but it really happened. He won big at that time but it didn't last for a week. he has gambled again with the money he won because he feels that his winnings are still not enough to go on holiday. I know that everyone will continue to be obsessed with wanting to win big when they win, so it is important to control yourself when gambling, especially when you win or when you lose. .

Every gambler should have a certain budget limit so that they can get used to it when they lose and their budget runs out, they can stop gambling and play again at a later date, this should be done consistently so that they get used to it and know when to gamble and when to stop gambling, this is important For everyone before playing gambling, they know when to stop gambling, especially when they win big, but we rarely find people who can consistently do it. Even though in reality it is very difficult to do, for the good of the gambler there is no harm in trying.

When victory arrived, I felt that big luck was happening. but did not realize that before losing big money, time was taken up playing. It's almost disproportionate to winning, but the gambling player's obsession will be ambitious if the desire for a big win has not been fulfilled to the point of destroying existing money. have to think about now before playing
