My biggest win was $1000 that was two years ago I cannot even consider it a good win because after the next few days I also lose more than that amount, thinking that I can win again and even double that amount I was devastated I resort to chasing my loss, you can hardly remember your winning when you lose a lot, but losing will make you a more controlled player while winning can temp you to bet more.
That means the biggest wins you've got in the end lose more than that amount. If you don't gamble again after a few days, you may still enjoy the big winnings. And that big win can indeed trigger you to return to gambling because you may think you can get another big win in the next bet. But the reality will not always be the same as what we think, so this is where it is important to have the self-control not to return to gambling after getting that big win. But hopefully, you can get another big win in the next bet and immediately stop and not gamble for a while and not be tempted to go back to gambling.
Some people believe that the luck they have in winning a game if they go back to play again they will still have luck to win again. If he had enjoyed the money he won for some days and went back to play the game he would not have lost so big. It seems after he won he went back to double his game, that is why he lost more than what he won.
If they think like that, they better stop it immediately because it won't always give them victory. We can tell them to stop immediately after they win the game and enjoy the winning money instead of having to play and end up losing a lot of the winning amount. There is no point if, after we win a lot but we continue to play and hope to win more money because the result will not be what we want.
There is no cure for greediness. Sometimes when people win big, they want to win more and hence they keep on playing. This mistake is also done by immature gamblers.
Gambling is too much risky a game that if you take another chance you can end up losing, so why take risks? Yes, sometimes people gamble to become rich quickly but why they do not realize that there is no shortcut to make money?
They can control their greed and not play longer because it can make them lose more than the number of wins they got before. But we are just humans who are easily tempted to get something more so we keep trying but in the end, it causes us to lose money. And mistakes like this will continue if there is no awareness from gamblers to be able to learn from previous mistakes.
Sometimes, people will feel that they want to take on bigger risks because the temptation to earn more money is just there. And they forget that gambling is not a place to make a lot of money but to lose a lot of money. We must remember this so as not to suffer as many losses as others who have experienced it.
