I feel like gambling pattern 4 is what turns gamblers into addicts. When you gamble and complete one pattern mostly its gonna be called luck (by yourself of course). Give in enough time so you will one day do epic comeback for sure. It may take days or it may take years! But it will happen. And your brain will quickly consider it a epic comeback that shows your skill. Your chemistry will force you to play more and more. And you become typical gambler.
Gambling pattern 4 can turn a gambler into a gambler, which is what most gamblers have experienced. And remember that luck will not always come to you, so you don't need to chase more wins or try to recover losses you have experienced. But if you are trying to use more money to chase more wins or recover losses, it can turn you into a gambler addicted to gambling. The desire to repeat winning will keep coming without you being able to hold it in and that's when you will experience bigger losses.

this has a big relation with dopamine systems too
people get addicted to the rewards and usually forget the risk they have on a determined situation
many times rationality is more important than emotion
A gambler at first bets and plays just to try and have fun, but by being able to win bets, greed will appear to be able to win all bets and gambling games, so it will be more difficult to be able to control emotions when playing.
From this, at first just trying it, but a feeling of greed for victory and being able to make money instantly by gambling arises, someone will become a gambling enthusiast.
They don't realize and think about the risks that can be obtained when they become a gambling enthusiast who has high emotions in betting.
They are even willing to do anything to be able to place bets, even though the money they have has run out, they are still trying to get money by borrowing only to be used as their betting capital.
