Repeatedly, the first win sparks a desire for more. Initial victory? Not a sign of gambling skill, just a fluke.

Strangely, the human mind clings to that first success, distorting reality. Gamblers believe luck is on their side. They fall deeper into gambling because of this illusion. We must detect this trend and realize that gambling is not a profitable strategy.

Society must improve gambling understanding. Its entertainment, not a revenue source. Preventing long-term losses and promoting responsible gaming requires acknowledging this truth and raising understanding of the psychological pitfalls of gambling.
This is ingrained in our minds very deeply so it will be difficult to overcome it, there is a very strong tendency for humans to disregard their failures as just having some bad luck and think of their success as caused by their skill, so even if a person is only being temporarily lucky when gambling instead of thinking about themselves in this way, they will believe they have acquired some sort of skill that is making them win, and even when losses naturally follow they still believe this was the case and they can make that money back.
