Adrenaline surges fueled by wins and the sting of frustration after losses can easily hijack our decision-making. Imagine a gambler on a winning streak, feeling invincible, convinced that luck is a permanent companion. This "extraordinary euphoria" can lead to reckless decisions, like "going all in" and losing everything previously gained.
Losses, especially consecutive ones, are equally detrimental. The urge for "revenge betting," fueled by frustration, can be a recipe for disaster. Think of a boxer, blinded by rage after a knockdown, throwing wild punches instead of employing strategic defense.
Gambling is not a game of chance alone; it's a battle between logic and emotion. Successful gamblers understand this. They set limits, walk away after losses, and avoid the allure of "revenge bets."
Gambling is one game that can easily influence someone's way of thinking and that's why it's very unsafe to make decisions when a gambler is betting. I've seen a lot of people who made decisions while betting and I can say that majority of them got their decisions wrong while others were just fortunate enough to get huge winnings through their own decisions. When a gambler is making a decision during gambling, he's very likely to get it wrong because his emotions will not allow him to be logical enough to get his decisions right.
For example, when a gambler is winning big in gambling, he'll very likely to be overwhelmed by the effects of his win thereby thinking that every bet he stakes at that moment is definitely going to get him huge wins which at the end, it doesn't usually happen that way. Also when he's losing his money, he'll make decisions with the sole aim of getting back his losses which usually do not end as planned
