That is very true. Even though we have strict financial control, for me there are still emotional moments due to losing and when conditions like that happen we usually spend more money than usual to gamble. I often lose control when I get a big win the previous day and the next day I usually budget more money for gambling, and as usual when I get a big win then the next day will be a nightmare, and I spend some of yesterday's winnings.
Keeping your emotions in a stable state might be difficult, especially in times of the same situation as you. Recently winning with a huge amount gives confidence to each gambler and makes them think of the possibility of winning more. However, once what you thinking does not happen, it causes the loss of control of your emotions and will lead to chasing your losses.
This commonly happens in every gambler. Even for some who consider gambling as a stress reliever or doing it mainly to have fun, a lot of them end up emotionally invested in the game. Making it hard to control the emotion and forget how to control it.
Yes that's right, their confidence rises when they get a win, and their confidence encourages them to keep playing so they can win with a bigger value, but when they do that it is likely that they will lose so they become upset because the winnings that have been obtained are lost again. With greed that makes the victory disappear again and makes emotions that want to chase the loss. by chasing the loss instead of getting the victory they are after but losing a large amount of money they will feel because they want to chase the victory that has been lost.
Emotions when gambling will certainly determine the future, even people who have limits in gambling can become addicted because the defeats they get make them upset and want to chase the losses they have experienced. It is not wrong to chase the losses they have experienced, but it is unlikely that chasing losses will result in a big win. So at times like this they have lost self-control so that nothing can stop them from chasing losses.
