In this forum and other forums where gambling is one of the topics of discussion, one of the recurrent topics is people who write about how their gambling addiction has ruined their lives. We usually encounter topics like "Gambling ruined my life," "I lost all my life savings to gambling," "I gambled away my entire salary," etc. Then they go on to tell a sad tale. It makes me wonder: why do gamblers tend to wait until they have suffered a catastrophic loss or a string of losses before quitting or seeking help?

People always like sharing bad news. When they gamble and win big nobody hears anything about their wins but when they lose they always publicize it.

This is actually very true, like same way it is in our every day life, bad news spread really fast, than good news, and this is because many people find bad news to be very surprising, as well as fascinating, and because of this, they don't hesitate to click on the share button, which further spread the bad news.

But on the other hand, good news is most times perceived as just a normal thing, even when people ought to share it, some, out of jealousy wont share it, as in their minds, they will be wishing it was them that such a good thing happened to.

So in a general context now, most people like to keep whatever good that happened to them, to themselves, in other not to draw unnecessary attention to themselves, but this same people also not do not hesitate to share the bad ones that happen to them, why?
For some - they do this to gain pity from the public,
And for others, they do this as a way of advising the public not to make the same mistake they made.
