All of this is just a psychological problem when at the beginning of the game you will be given a victory so that greed will arise and you lose your mind to manage your money.
If you are made to lose at the beginning, chances are that what will happen you will not make a deposit again, but if the win is given, of course, you will deposit again.
Gamble Is For Fun, Not For Food
I agree but when you gamble with friends purely for fun, then in the end if you win you can be the winnings used to eat together, right. At least I do that when I win that I can use for parties or just eating with friends, because then everything is obtained from the fun of together. But regarding winning at the beginning and then losing more often, I think it has become commonplace in gambling because even though you lose more often, if you really make gambling for fun, then losing is something they can easily overcome.
Very deadly mindset you have here.
No offense but I have to disagree with you here. Okay, so let's say that you'll eat with your friends when you won against them but did you ever think what would they do when they won, will they do the same? if yes, then you got good friends because they still treat you after you lose, however, it's not that good if you lost a big amount of money, but if they didn't treat you after you lose, I guess that's unfair for you because you're so kind and they are not.
In my opinion, good friends will never play gambling with you like have bigger bets, they will but they will just going to agree to use only small bets just for fun and not to make it a living.
