You know if you had never stopped you might have continued in the cycle of chasing your loses in that particular game and worst of all is when your mind is now corrupt that you are not in luck and can't win.
This is the same reason i hate playing virtual in gambling shops , cause at times you can be stucked in a losing streak and have very few options that you may like apart from football simulations. I just prefer playing on my phone so when I'm losing and my mood is changing I just switch my device or close the app, my cool down procedure when I'm in big loses is to to just watch movies on my phone. Gambling at your comfort rules
When someone chases defeat then I think their thinking is already broken because with them chasing defeat or victory it is the same as they are chasing uncertain things but with certainty is that they will lose more money by doing such actions. The worst thing can happen when they do such risky actions. When they cannot stop gambling then it is the same as they will not stop experiencing losses. The more often they gamble, the more often they experience losses that cannot be avoided.This is the same reason i hate playing virtual in gambling shops , cause at times you can be stucked in a losing streak and have very few options that you may like apart from football simulations.

Bensr that you said gamble with reasonable rules, don't gamble by exceeding the limits that we can afford such as in terms of our own finances. Having a reasonable limit is a must because the curse of losing at gambling in my opinion cannot be avoided but if it is to minimize it maybe it can still be. It is very unlikely that we can change the curse of losing streaks in gambling that is done.
