I think gamblers have very weird mindset, they always think they are making the right decision, they are losing a lot of money and they are going for more, always thinking they can win, if they win, again they think they can win more, and they end up losing everything .
Of course you have to be motivate yourself when you are playing gambling so that you will not attract negative things while you are playing gambling, the only wrong with their mindsets is that they are still encouraging themselves to gamble for more even though they are losing because they believe that they are going to win in the next round, but the thing that they are missing out is that gambling is not easy as they thought.
Staying motivated in gambling the best thing you can do to remain focused otherwise a little mistake can cause a big problem. This is related to gambling thats why I suggested my opinion related to it but I would also like to suggest you that its better to stay away from gambling as much as you can and if you want to show your motivation, show in other works so that the people also get impress from you.
