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.

Agreed. When you allow yourself as a gambler to be ruled by emotions, it most likely wouldn’t end well. When you use your heart instead of your head whenever playing , you’re bound to make mistakes. Mistakes that could cost you the game.
And your reactions after having lost out on the game matters a lot. You could get really upset at having lost and decide at all costs to win whatever fund you initially lost. When that happens, you’re on the wrong path and on the road to losing even more money.
Using your head, you’re bound to have more self control over your actions.

Most, if not always, allowing emotion to dominate while playing in any type of gambling more likely ends with a big risk, though there might be some who can break-even or win some after gaming but most of the time the outcome is not favoring the gambler side, to the point that they can lose a lot of money.

And adding to that, chasing losses are always the first thing when you have that aggression thinking that by adding more money you can have that chance to recover only to find out that you will just lose it all and then regret it after.

Of course and indeed basically whatever you do even outside of gambling if you rely on excessive emotions then obviously it will usually always end in downturns and regrets, I think this is very common for everyone to experience, so some people make this downturn a lesson so that something like that doesn't happen again in the future, And on the other hand there are still those who do not want or cannot accept the fact that gambling is nothing more than an entertainment activity, and maybe yes for some of them there are those who can break even by getting back what they have lost, but it is very clear on the other hand that this is still an activity that is not recommended, especially if you bring an improper mindset such as for example thinking that gambling is to make money.

On the other hand I am quite strange with their mindset that is always excessive, even though there is no guarantee for anyone to succeed in getting what they want, one that is not recommended is chasing losses, how can you be sure that you will be able to get a win? while on the other hand there is no guarantee whatsoever. And well that's gambling, I hope anyone including those who are new to gambling not to overdo it in gambling, because obviously it will only worsen their financial condition. So the point is better to prevent than cure, don't be too tempted by what you see as tempting, because it's nothing more than a temptation to make you worse.
