it is true that gambling is like betting on luck how much luck we have on that day.
but in gambling for me luck has a very small chance to get it. so there are still many people out there who consider gambling just for entertainment or to fill their spare time. but that's all actually to cover up being disappointed when you always lose at gambling and actually hoping to win to get more money.
no one wants to lose constantly spending money and losing at gambling, unless the person is very rich.
An excuse that's the right term to continue playing, if you lose then you convince yourself that luck is not with you and you are accepting your defeat since you are using an amount that you are willing to let go, but eventually your desire in winning will increase and your appetite for gambling will exceed to your allotted budget and after that you will find yourself getting engaged too much to the point that you are already addicted.
We can't measure or we can't conclude anything as it's an opinion base any inputs have value to how a person thinks about the situation.
Yes they are making excuses because if they are sincere of only playing only to get entertained, there is no need for them to play again or deposit again the second time once they have lost their first deposit. Playing gambling to have fun doesn't always be expensive but a small amount will be enough because you can still budget it and only use tiny amounts per spin/bet. You can even play without betting at all.
It is sad but many gamblers are like that, they keep on coming back to the casino in the hopes that they can win this time. I am not exempted to this but I stop because I feel annoyed. My losses are already big compared to my target win which is only small.
Good for you if you can still manage to quit instead of pushing back and make additional deposit when you already lose your initial deposit, there are people who got excited and misinterpret the enjoyment, instead of moving away they add more to their bankroll and losses more or exceeded from the original target amount that they are willing to spend and lose in each gambling sessions that they deal with.
A kind of mismanagement that mostly leads also to addiction or heavy gamings. You need to be strict with your set targets both for winnings and losing amount, then stop when it's already been reached.
