In fact this is something that novices can experience more frequently, I include myself there only when I was a novice, I had experiences as it appears on the chart, however now we as players who have a little more experience and know myself can say that things can happen like this but not with that behavior, sometimes we can stop the losses only with decisions that can make the difference between one play and another, perhaps because we already see the game as one more way to have fun and not to make money , since when we don't see it to make money, unwanted emotions enter, fear, stress, pressure and that makes us lose faster

isn't it interesting how expactations plays a role on relaxation during the experience?
if you have more expectations (wanting a particular outcome) it can make you more tense/less relaxed or more fearful, therefore more prone to mess up due to these emotional or thought conflicts

You are right.One time I was expecting to win the same amount of money as to buy a Mercedes CLS (what a f*cking idiot I was to think that) and once I started I was really relaxed calm,even happy as I was expecting to hit the maximum payline of my beloved slot machine at a certain bet most likely at 3 dollars for a bet.It started well it gave me the bonus round a couple of times and I increased the balance nicely only to lose it by continue playing as I thought the slot machine will keep giving me money (naive expectation) while in fact it took it all away and I become mad,tense and even nervous when talking to people.I do not do this anymore thank God.

good point
in the end it's better to approach the world without expectations if possible
of course it's not the easiest thing, but it's possible.

in gambling it's hard to predict the outcome, betting in the hope of winning a lot and to keep betting with this belief is a recipe for disaster

You wouldnt really be ending up on a disaster if you are really having that limitation and being aware in towards your actions.Gambling is for entertainment but it do turns out that majority is really having that wrong

impression and beliefs that they do mold on and this is the reason on why things becomes being more desperate and on the time that they've been fucked up by gambling then this is where realization begins.

Dont make yourself that desperate on getting wins because in gambling there's always a slim chance for you to make yourself get out with profits.
Most of the time you would really be that empty handed which you should make yourself that prepared.

Indeed. All it takes is discipline. However, the sad reality is that, not everyone possess it. Which is the reason why a lot of gamblers suffer from addiction.

Some people have a hard time setting up boundaries and limitations. And they even find it more difficult to actually obey and follow it once they have made it because they don't have the discipline to do so. They tend to crave for more and instead of suppressing it, most of the time they give in. There's really nothing wrong in gambling and betting as long as you are doing it moderately and responsibly. It just turns out bad the moment you prioritize it over anything else and put it in the pedestal of your life.

Chasing winnings should be a no-no too if you want to keep your sanity because being desperate on winning and being greedy on taking the prize will just cost you so much. Remember, gambling shouldn't be your thing to rely on to earn money. It could be an additional stream of income for you, but don't let it be your main because it has so many risks and it isn't really guaranteed you'll win everytime. Always prepare for the worst, so never ever bet all of what you got just for the sake of having "fun".
