The gambler's emotions can go up and down along with the wins and losses he experiences so if he can't control himself, he can get stuck in a situation he doesn't want. His losses would also be even greater than before, especially when he deposited more money into his account just to continue playing. But that will not prevent the addicted person from depositing money. They will continue to play if they have money in their account or wallet.

This is absolutely true, the best for addicts is to just tell his people, let them know about his addiction and how to cure himself of the addiction would become nearer to him. But some people are addicted and they still think luck could come, but failing again and again in more money losses.

But most gamblers will not say they have a gambling addiction and only say everything is fine. And if they are honest, it will let those around them know about their problems and help them solve them.

This is true. Emotions play a big role in the chances of winning or losing the game. If you don't have enough mental headspaace to grasp the things happening and is currently experiencing negative vibes, you should definitely stop playing. This is to avoid the higher possibility of you losing in the game. The moment you knew you are not mentally capable of playing because you are already low-spirited, you should slow down and take a break.

Chasing winnings won't do you any good. Instead of winning, you might end up losing in repeating manner without you even noticing it because you keep on playing just to win. Strategies and risk analysis are essential in winning the game. If you can't do it at your present state, then do not play and bet. Otherwise you'll just lose your funds.

That's why we must be able to regulate emotions when playing gambling because temptation during play will cause him to make the wrong decision instead of stopping for a while after experiencing tension in playing gambling. Slowing down and taking a break is a good way to go, especially if we have been on a losing streak because later, we can be triggered to recover from the losses we have experienced and if that happens, we will use more money.

Don't be too passionate about chasing victory, especially when we have won several wins, because we can be trapped by defeat after winning. We should stop and regulate our emotions so we can reduce the tension.

I think it's fine to get stuck in the positive side but it's almost impossible to remain there because in gambling, we are mostly prone to losses so our mood can also shift to being negative. It might stay there after some time so the goal is like you said, stop playing for a while and let this bad luck subside first.

There are still ways to be happy outside gambling or even without money involved, if money is the main thing that keeps you coming back in the gambling place. It's only hard to fight the urge once a person is addicted already but they can ask for a help or the people around them can also do actions. If they are truly concerned.

But the problem is that most of them get stuck on the negative side and will accept more defeats if they don't recognize that they should stop for a while to relieve the tension. By taking a break, they are giving themselves space to see what they've got and if it doesn't turn out well for them, they should stop and leave the casino before it's too late.

We can look for other ways to be happy and not have to do gambling which can cost a lot of money. And we must realize that gambling is only temporary entertainment and you don't need to spend much money.
