Many gamblers have committed same mistake and in most of the cases its not actually because they lack control over their habits, I like to think that greediness and not being content also plays a major contributory factor for this gambler to have actually gone A-wire and lost control to the extent of even selling his motor bike and other stuffs.
Casinos know how to play on the emotional feelings of gamblers, so they will let them win at the start, so it's no wonder if you open a new account, you will be given a win, usually people who are smart, they will withdraw money and then leave, but casinos know that they are only humans who are greedy that's why the casino without having to ask them back, they will continue to play because they will think that they are having good luck and are great.
Casinos play on the emotions of gamblers so they can be controlled not the other way around, that's why it's important to control yourself before playing gambling you have to know when to stop playing and when to play, I'm also not a perfect gambler because I still make mistakes but I think there's nothing wrong with sharing my thoughts , fortunately I only gamble for fun on weekends unlike those who are trapped with their emotions so that they become addicts willing to spend assets to gamble.
