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
Another big problem for those that are chasing their losses is that the expectations they have from gambling are out of place, they believe that since they watched a few influencers making some money that they already know everything there is to know about gambling and they can begin to use casinos as their personal ATMs, a completely ridiculous notion, as if that was possible then casinos as a business will disappear as no business can sustain those losses for long.

Chasing of losses has been a major problem I think gamblers are facing because most of the addiction came as a result of chasing of losses to recover all they have lost, but in the process of doing so, they keep losing more and more as they continue to chase their losses.  Watching influencers play, gamble, and win is not the major point, though, because that is not convincing for one to rush to start gambling because they saw an advertisement of an influencer playing and winning. I see that as not convincing because it is a fake advertisement, so in that case, it might be a fake win to entice gamblers to playing with them and when they do, they start to tell stories and lots more.

Yes, I agree with what you said. Chasing losses is a big problem for them, because if they play with such principles or goals, there is little chance that the victory will be obtained to restore the losses they are chasing. Moreover, if they chase losses, it is not the victory that will be obtained but most likely the defeat that they will get, so they spend more money to chase the loss.

Apart from that, if they run out of capital they can just borrow here and there or online loans, which of course this will make things worse, and their lives will become unsettled because they are in debt here and there with a large amount. and not a few people have done this, those who have been deceived by advertisements that promise big wins do not realize because there are no bookies who will lose in gambling, if there is maybe the player is lucky sedan not good at gambling. So it's true what you said about the victories that only aim to attract players to go deeper into gambling until addiction occurs. 

Chasing loses can be detrimental to ones gambling lifestyle and should be properly  put under a check. As a responsible gambler, you should know when to call it a day, take a bow and leave the casino rather than chasing shadows of losses incurred as a result of not being principled enough to follow their own instructions for which they set up for themselves. Leaving a casino when you are done saves you the stress of looking for where to borrow in other to chase losses. It is best to do so because loans can put very detrimental to playing gamble because if you are not careful, you will lose out making you indebted.
Something of this nature is something that make people to be addicted in gambling whenever you are chasing lose and it's when you have more loses and when you continue to get more lose in gambling you will be desperate in recovering what you have lose, so therefore if you are chasing a lose that means you are liable to lose more, so I will advice any gamblers to ensure that whenever you lose do not chase it because it will lead you into addictive, and in gambling we have to be careful of gambling and how much you spend in gambling, because tye more you lose in gambling the more you spend more funds

Having a budget could help cushion this effect.  Here gamblers who are always after  their losses can be able to Play by their budget plan accordingly.  This would help them reduce  the rate at which they gamble because this would make them develop self-restraint. As a gambler, self restraint is of good importance because it guides you to being cautious of your gambling lifestyle and makes you play responsibly and for fun. Addiction can be a thing of the past if one who is addicted decides to take it upon himself to play by budget plans and steaks to it.
