What gamblers experience each time they play again and again the same game and loses again and again is the feeling of euphoria and thrill because of the chance of winning millions.
The chance to win big is there and it does give them thrill. But its a boner-killer when they lose and then they start raging and go loco. I dont think that is expected from a socially acceptable person and they should keep their habits in check when they gamble.
It may be the same routine but these gamblers love the game because of the thrill of it and thats where the fun is at.
Trust me, losing money in NOT fun at all. It hurts when you realize you just lost your salary on some game of chance when you should have saved that money for future purpose.
I dont think the analogy of it to watching the same movie would be the same because playing gambling games does not give the same kind of feeling or experience.
It is a bad analogy, of course.
