No one per se enjoys losing but the reaction to the loss is what makes the difference and this reaction differs from person to person. Sound funny but true, some gamblers find a certain level of fun in the experience of losing in gambling. Some are also concerned with the social interaction among other gamblers and not the outcome of the game. Gamblers who are academically inclined can find pleasure in games like Poker and Blackjack and so the mental stimulation it provide is what matters to these people.

Let me point out that craving to win because we lost is not a good sign. A gambler can even record more losses if he is bent on recouping his losses. The inability to recoup the loss can lead to problems of anger, frustration, anxiety and even depression.
It can be understood that a person background when deciding to gamble is very different, winning or losing for some people who come with the aim of having fun will not have a big influence. Enjoying the game may be a pleasure in itself, logically the peak pleasure of gambling is winning or making a profit. There are also some people who gamble for classic reasons such as wanting to get rid of boredom, so for people like that, losses are not a big problem, but if they keep doing it, I think it will be problematic in the end.

In reality, the people we mentioned above are only exceptions to most gamblers, where their main goal in gambling is to make a profit and avoid losses. There is no other goal, pleasure can be channeled elsewhere according to one passion, gambling causes more losses than profits. On the other hand, I also wonder whether gamblers ever feel bored, because they do the same activities over and over again.
It would matter on self acceptance in regarding on what are the things that you would really be that able to just simply move on on the time that you would be losing and just proceed ahead
and continue to play just because you are already aware on what are the things that you would really be able to encounter on the time that you would really be dealing with gambling
on which we know that losing is inevitable plus the house is always that against us then it would be not shocking that we are really that in great disadvantage but of course everything
would really be just that depending on how well you would really be handling yourself. Luck factor will really be that always giving out that advantage
on winning the game but we know that this one comes randomly. Losing is inevitable and this is why self acceptance and control of emotions would be needed.
