A classic gambler's fallacy, right? Thinking "Hey, that could be me next!" after seeing someone win. We know that's a one-way trip to addiction. Gambling thrives on this faith that luck can be found. It's about knowing the odds and when to stop, not chance. Change mindsets, you're right. Our brains are wired to follow the winner, assuming their route will lead to success. It's like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. What works for one may not work for another. People will benefit sooner if they understand this. Gambling isn't a fairy tale with happy endings. Self-awareness matters. You can't influence others' reality wake-up calls. Keep yourself from slipping into the same trap. Mindfulness and knowing limitations are key. Gambling should be fun, not addictive. Stay focused and don't let the massive win deceive you.

If they thought like that, it wouldn't take too long to see him suffer a loss instead of getting a win because once someone got a win, it didn't guarantee he could get another win. Someone else may be the winner, and he still has to wait his turn to win because we don't know when our luck will come and give us a chance to win. We must have the awareness that gambling is not a place to make money and gambling is only for fun. Some people can win, but that's because they are lucky, and we can also be lucky, so we have to be patient and wait for our luck to come. But we also have always to limit our gambling so that in waiting to get lucky, we don't use too much money or even allocate more money. And if we finally manage to get that big win, we should be able to stop our gambling activities for a while and not gamble in pursuit of another win.

Well and that means as I said that they come because they see and are tempted from the victory that other people managed to get without seeing how much money the other people spent to get the big win, basically they did not see from various sides before finally deciding to follow and want the same fate as that person. The only thing on their mind is how they can get the victory like others get when on the other hand for this problem there is no way that can make them have the same fate as others except only luck will answer it. This is a wrong mindset because every gambler has their own luck and in terms of time they will not know when they will be lucky, that's clear. Yes I also hope so, hopefully they can change their mindset as soon as possible so as not to suffer too much defeat which ultimately makes them regret it. That's right, of course over time if they continue to think like that then they will unconsciously enter the real addiction zone, so even though other people can win that way it doesn't mean you will have the same fate as them even by following the way like them.

Honestly it's out of our control and maybe we can only hope for the best for them to sober up soon.

It's okay if they see and are tempted by other people's winnings. However, they still have to be able to control themselves so they don't continue gambling if they are gambling, and they should be able to stop gambling for a while so they can divert their attention from playing gambling. This is necessary so that they will not try to continue gambling and chase wins so they can win like other people. We can actually experience bigger losses than before, especially in gambling. Yes, they have to change their mindset so that they won't try to chase wins like other people get because each person's luck will definitely be different, and we won't be able to get the same amount of wins as other people. If they still don't realize what they are doing is wrong, it is only a matter of time before they get deeper into gambling and will eventually become addicted to gambling that they will not even be aware of. So we have to be wise so we can treat gambling well and not experience problems like other people have experienced.
