These are all good points but it's hard to keep up and follow, this because in the back of our minds, there is a thought that must strike while the iron is still hot, and there's always a tendency to get back what you lose in the previous, it just goes on and on until you become addicted.
Very true indeed. To an extent, our individuality plays a big role in how we handle the 'play for fun' narrative. If i should use myself as an example, i get easily excited but not so easily discouraged. I find in most cases, the means if i win a bet, i'm likely to go even bigger (dangerous i know) whereas, if i lose, there is that feeling of 'i'll win the next one', and then it just goes on and on like you say.
Even though i know 'walking away' is a very important aspect in gambling, i feel it is perhaps the most difficult one.
Well, I think your kind of ideology is what leads to compulsive gambling. In the game of gambling if you have the mindset of I can win more then you are just on your way to loosing the ones you have gotten and when you have the mentality of I can always win again, then you keep trying and probably keep on losing.
I really think that is very risky but I dont know how long you been doing this and how much it has worked for you, but left for me, when I win am just grateful for that day and if I lose, I do not even make attempt to recover, I let it go and this has helped me greatly. I think its better to do this so that you will not have record of loses on gambling.
