I don't think you can still be a responsible gambler even though you lose too much money on gambling.

The way I see it, you can be a responsible gambler only if you don't lose more than you can afford to. Losing too much money means you are pretty addicted to gambling. There is no way I can view this as being responsible. It sounds more like an excuse.

If you are losing money regularly, then you should not be gambling in the first place. But you need to analyze your condition after a while. The house advantage is usually 1% or 2% depending on the casino. So if you are playing a game with 50% chance of win, you should at least win 4 out of 10 games. If it is like 1 out of 10, it is time to take a break and admit that it is not your lucky day. If this can't be done easily, then another way to follow it is not to carry too much cash to the casino. Take only limited amount of cash and don't take your credit card along. Once the money is finished, you won't be able to gamble again.

Most of us are losing money in gambling but we don't really count it as we don't treat gambling as a business, it's entertainment for most of us, so what we lose is our expenses to enjoy gambling. We will only feel it if our approach to gambling is already serious, and we will be in trouble because we will be putting in a huge amount of money just to gamble.

@mindrust is correction, we should only gamble based on our limit, if we go beyond, it's not fun anymore.

An addictive gambler who doesn’t want to totally quit gambling can choose the option of controlled gambling.
It’s only when gambling gets out of control that it starts to cause problems on people’s lives.

Unfortunately, an addictive gambler will not know how to quit gambling as in their mind will think about how to win the gambling games. If they know how to quit, we will not see many addicted gamblers quit as soon as possible, especially if they already lose much money. We can get out of control when we lose or win because that is human nature to become greed or want to get more while they already get something.

They wont quit as long they do have money in their pocket and literally they would just stop out when they do all spent it out and lost it all
where for you wont able to make out anymore bets which is literally normal but in the sense talking about quitting on midway is really impossible because most gamblers would really be chasing off losses when you are trying to break even or even when you are already on profits then you would be asking for more which is a common behavior.Gamblers wont stop as long they do have some balance to spend on and potential losses that you could attain in gambling is limitless which means if you dont have a good hold of yourself then numbers could
really be indefinite so this is why control is really important.
