Consider Sarah, who says she will stop playing once she wins $1,000. She loses her mind when she hits that number, though. Within seconds, she feels like Alice in Wonderland, searching for the elusive "bigger win" bunny. Why? Being excited about winning is more enticing than any drink. It confuses you and allows you to forget about your escape plan.
Unfortunately, this is how gambling really works. Not just going against the odds, but also against your own mind. Imagine doing brain gymnastics. What really matters in gambling isnt just winning money; its beating your brain's sneaky tricks. There is real energy there. Not just a game of luck, but also of skill and stamina.
It is because of this that even if casinos did not gave themselves a house edge and all their games were fair they will still beat most gamblers over the long term.
As gamblers even after a big win they will not be happy with their results and they will keep gambling looking for an even bigger win, and even if they got it then they will once again look for more profits, and when taking into account all of this then it is a mistake to even consider lending money to another gambler, since most likely that gambler lost their money in this way and it is the reason they need a loan.
