The sad part is how gamblers have already dug a hole, and when they're at the bottom of it, they're in some ways wishing that they could just return to the starting point and get their money back - not even making a profit at that point. Unfortunately chasing losses like this is just going to leave you in a much worse position mentally, because you are throwing away good money after bad. The fact that you've lost so much money should be a clear indicator that the odds are not in your favor. There is often zero skill involved with almost every casino game that they offer, you are just handing money over in return for clicking a few buttons with some options that give you the illusion of control, or quirky side games to momentarily distract you.
