Losses, especially the first ones, can make you feel a lot of different things. As you said, curiosity is a strong emotion that almost puts people in a feedback loop. They bet, lose, think about it, and then bet again, often with higher stakes. The pattern repeats in a creepy way, doesn't it?

If we step back for a moment and look at how most gambling games work, we can see that the odds are usually against the person. It's half the battle to figure this out. Once people understand that gaming is more about luck than skill (and that the odds favor the house), they can make better decisions. It's not about going back into the fight in order to "beat" the system. Instead, it's about knowing the system. Dive deep, analyze, and think, and if you want to get involved, do so with your eyes open

Experiencing loss for the first time makes someone curious about what caused it. And they will repeat gambling another day. And when they lose again, they will keep doing it again. But when they win, they think they can win again another day and gamble again. It's like a circle that will keep turning and won't stop unless the person realizes that gambling is like that. Some people win and some people lose. The number of people who lose will be more than those who win.

If they could think clearly before starting to gamble, they should be able to see how big their chances of winning at gambling are. And if they already understand that it is difficult to beat the casino, they should not need to chase wins and can treat gambling as entertainment. It will make them try to enjoy gambling as entertainment rather than using gambling to gain winnings and money.

Yes, of course a beginner's curiosity will give rise to the habit of gambling if they cannot control it, because they will continue to gamble in pursuit of victory even though otherwise they will definitely experience losses. And if they are not equipped with responsible and careful gambling behavior, without them realizing it, it will be difficult for them to win, instead they will lose and as a result their own losses will soon befall them.

A beginner will feel curious about his first defeat. If he could control himself, he would not gamble just because he wanted to fulfill his curiosity because he knew that gambling was about winning and losing. If they lose, they have no luck and vice versa. A responsible person will always be careful when gambling, even if it is their first time gambling. And even if they lose gambling, they won't think too much about it because that's gambling. And if they return to gambling, it is not because of curiosity but because they want entertainment from gambling.
