So many people are fond of gambling dangerously in their quest to reclaim already lost money in gambling and that I think is a result of lack of self control as well as inability to manage their emotions whenever they're losing.
For one to gamble on the first place, he must accept that there is every possiblity of either winning or losing and should be able to handle the emotional feelings that comes with both in other not to become a gambling addict. It's not wise gambling more and more when one is losing because at that moment, the person will not be strategic enough to know when to gamble how to gamble rather will be reckless with his gambling decisions because if his desire to reclaim his lost money
  The danger of gambling impulsively is that you can barely control your emotions, gambling for money is not in anyways shape or form positive for your life. Winning is a curse! gambling addiction is a recipe and can happen to anyone from any walks in life. If your first interaction with a casino is thrilling and you win big and have a positive experience, this is your first ingredients for a gambling addiction. you leave the casino and you can't stop thinking about how it made you feel, how eazy the money came to you and you start to wonder if you could repeat the same experience.
   Chasing your losses. This is when you set a budget and you find yourself going to the bank machine to get more money to gamble back the money you have just lost. The numbness of withdrawing money and the internal conversation with your self saying “it's just money” with a desensitized feeling towards the dollar value without care for what that money is intended for (rent, food, kids, bills). The longer you play any game the more in favor it is for the house. variance allows players to win, but the casinos rely on mathematics to turn a profit, and the longer you gamble the maths and odds for the house will ensure they will always win. Even if you get lucky and win some money the chances of you staying and playing will be worse off for you.
