It is not always easy to accept the loss and move on in gambling. It also depends on how much was used to bey. Some people do.not bey with what they can afford to lose. They stake very high and that is why it is always difficult for them to move on when they lose it. They will continue by chasing their losses by taking some revenge betting which never ended well.
When you gamble with any amount you can afford to lose and take gambling as a fun rather than an investment opportunity, you can always move on whenever you lose.
The main difference between those which gamble for fun and those which gamble to get money is their ability to move on once they lose, those which see gambling as just another hobby can accept their losses and then do something else with their time, but those which want to make it a profession cannot accept the fact they lost money, so they keep gambling hoping to recover what they lost only to face disastrous results as they gamble money they cannot really afford to lose.
And those who gamble for money and expecting to win big, also called professional gambler in this context are the people that are always at the risk of becoming gambling addicts. Whoever sees gambling as a professional thing to do can indirectly be called an addict.
When you call gambling your professional job or career, it means you have to gamble from morning to evening, day-to-day, week in - week out and that is actually called addiction. The best thing to do is not to accept the title a professional gambler, even if you are.
As long as you claim to be a professional gambler,this means that you are an addict,because to be a professional in something,it means that you are into it always. As for gambling one must not try to be a professional because it is impossible to be a pro in a game of luck. When you have that insight that you are a pro,it will not make you accept loss easily because you will feel that it was a mistake that made you lost the last game and you will want to chase your loss. During the process of chasing your loss,you are getting addicted gradually,till you will no longer be able to live without gambling.
