The desire for things to go our way is within every single one of us, the difference is that while we understand very clearly that getting such a jackpot is almost impossible, and we do not expect to ever win it during our lifetimes, addicted gamblers think on the exact opposite way, and believe that it is just a matter of time until they win, which explains how they can use such massive amounts of money in an activity that should be just another hobby, but for them this is the method they will use to solve all their money problems forever.

Yes, you've explained the situation very good. I wish more gamblers read your post, because this way of thinking, like "I just need to make 100 bets more max and I will hit it!", this is one of the biggest mistakes gamblers make. We have to admit that everyone, you and me too, think like this from time to time. I you are a gambler - it's inevitable. But what we lose is $30-$50 in the end. Yes, it is painful, but it is bearable. When people lose more than they can afford to lose because of that way of thinking, it's a tragedy and that's what makes them miserable.

Exactly, addicted thinks that as long as there's money in their wallet the chance of catching the jackpot still alive, they only realize that same mistake once they already empty handed, most of the time, the only counter that you can do is to quit before you run out of money or if by chance that luck permits you to win, better to stop and call for the day. It's good to have some decent winnings instead of trying to push for more and aim for more, those kind of thinking will only lead you losing your money.

Better to be in positive even if it's just a small amount of earnings, as the chance of losing always higher compared to your chance of winning, the fact that gambling always accompanied by risk and without good control of your emotions will continue to lead your way to lose all the money inside your wallet.
