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".

I suppose it has a lot to do with genes, dopamine and emotional control

some people are just better with dealing with stressful situations and can control better after facing losses
others engage in revenge betting to try to "make it all back in one trade"
so forth and so on
