What will you do if after losing several times in gambling, you are left with only small amount of money and that money will be for your fuel or for transportation, will you still continue with the little you are left with? What if you lose?
Of course not, if you have already lost almost all your money. Why would you still keep trying to recover those funds or just to gamble because of pure "speculation" of what is going to happen? Forgive me, but it just makes no sense at all.
Your thinking will be different when you are gambling and when you are talking outside gambling. I believe no gambler will decide not to continue their gambling after any big losses but most of them will prefer to continue to find different results with their gambling from their previous attempts.
Speculating future profits by imaginary thinking about easy money is the thing which keeps all the gamblers to gamble more among many losses. There will not have any clarity about the dangers of gambling while inside the gambling that is the reason they keep speculating and keep trying.
