I really need a clarification on this. Is chasing looses in gambling same as looking for closure because i recently read an article on reddit where the poster said that he will gamble untill he wins just to look for closure. I have been thinking about this for sometime now because closure has the same characteristics with chasing looses which is even when the gambler is loosing he will still be gambling just to recover all his looses.

That simply mean one thing, there is no actual closure that's going to happen, because chasing all your losses in gambling is close to impossible to achieve. Not unless if you have calculated all your accumulated losses and then put a single bet for the total amount that you lose  since day 1. Nobody would do that btw, as the risk are a hundred folds than betting at your normal range.
So, when someone wants closure, it's not necessary to chase those losses.
^Definitely right and I agree with you.
Chasing losses in gambling is a risky and often futile behavior that can lead to further losses and negative outcomes. It is not a reliable way to achieve closure or regain a sense of control over one's gambling behavior because there is a significant difference between chasing losses and finding closure in gambling.
