As we play gambling as fun and keep losing, we know our money is going to another person's side which is the owner of the game. The real discuss is to know our limit. We need to play with limit, we should adopt such especially if we are losing so that we don't feel bad later.
Actually, we know the limit, but we break our limit and continue playing gambling for more. So that makes us get more losses without realizing because we can feel enjoy and forget to use that limit. That is why we see many gamblers lose their money than to win the money. If we still do that, we can stay longer and we can not enjoy the game because our minds will be affected to recover the lost money.
The way people react to something is always unpredictable, for example is in gambling. If you won, you only have to options, either you stop or play again, if you stop then the chances of losing your profit is zero, while if you continue to play, the chances of losing your profit is almost 98% depends on the house edge and the odds you're going to put.
Now, the other things that we should consider is the emotional output that winning and losing gives to us whenever we experience those. Mostly feels mad when they lose and charge blindly in betting while others remains calm and maintain their focus on how to get their losses back.
Most people will continue playing after they win instead of stopping playing. They do that because they are tempted by gambling, and they want more winning, which they can not always get. Sometimes we can not accept if we lose, and we decide to continue with the hope that we will win for the next round.
I am sure that the emotional feeling will be bigger no matter if we win or lose because it will work in the unconscious that tells us to feel that. We can feel mad if we lose and still continue playing, but we can feel happy and not think about stopping the game.
