I sometimes wonder why many gamblers always go over the board to gamble a lot excessively above their budgets and this have affected a lot of players leading them into uncontrollable losses at some point and this really needs to be looked at and checked on because we have seen one of two cases of massive loses resulting from the uncontrolled staking spree. Last time we read about a gambler who lost a whopping 1.04 million dollars on a bet.
If the said gambler had used the limit spending mechanism I am sure he could have had controlled spending and that limit could have stopped him from taking such a huge amount in just 1 bet.
Psychology is the deciding factor this way, and I think if a user doesn't have enough self-discipline, then limiting mechanisms won't help him at all. I mean, if such a user gets tilted after a long series of losses, he will probably have a great desire to win back at any cost, while purposefully neglecting such a feature as "self-exclusion" on the Betfury site or any other gambling site.
When dopamine in the brain increases, I think this will affect the psychology of a person being very happy with what they are doing without realizing that the bets used are in large numbers, like the case Wiwo mentioned.
Sometimes when someone is betting with his friends there is increased pleasure in our minds after that person will increase the amount of the bet to make it more fun and when the balance runs out he just realizes that he is doing it like he was unconscious.
