what I have experienced and destroyed me is in this third pattern. because in the past, every time I deposited funds into the gambling platform, I always won large amounts of gambling. without me realizing that the victory was the beginning of the downfall when I started to be greedy to win more and when I continued to bet I lost the first time and I became emotional chasing defeat by increasing the amount of my bet and in the end I lost more and my funds finished. after that I became even more stupid when I chased defeat, always made a deposit and always lost.
from what happened in my past, this will be the best lesson for me if gambling is just entertainment, you don't need to hope for victory and you don't need to be greedy if you don't want to break. and if you get a big win or max win it's just a bonus and immediately leave the gamble and withdraw the winnings.

This is very common, cutting your session short when you are losing is very easy, as you can simply say that it was not your day and do something else during the time you had planned to gamble.

However when you begin your session with big wins you want to keep gambling as it is easy to think this is your lucky day in which you could obtain big profits, but suddenly your luck changes and your profits begin to go down, now even then you are still in a good position as you are still earning money, but in your mind you can only think on the money you have lost already and then you become even more reckless in your attempts to try to recover that money, only to lose your money at an even faster speed.

the thing is many people lack the emotional control to do it
I agree that it's a simple thing and solves the problem, but not so straightforward to do it if the person is adicted

it'll vary a lot from person to person

yes, it is true. back when I was still a crazy gambling addict, it was very difficult to control my emotions while betting. especially if you lose several times, of course the emotions will be big and you always spend money to chase those losses.
but after the destruction in the past will make a valuable lesson for me to stop being a crazy gambling addict and always try to control emotions.
