Without self-control, even if you are not winning in gambling, you can still get addicted. Every addict has something that drags them there.

Some gamblers started with a very small amount of money, enjoying the game without any trace of big or constant winning, but they have been losing, so in order for them to recover what they have lost,

A lot of them chose to chase their losses, which is another way to get addicted to gambling before even realising it because the more you go after you lose to recover it, the more dipper you will get to the game, and that's how the amount lost is increasing, which will make it even more difficult to get back, so if the gambler is not in control and doesn't take time, it will be hard to get himself out of that shit.

How come a person get addicted if he constantly looses? One moment such person will realize that he is throwing money into bottomless pit and quit. Also those who chase their losses. At one moment such chaser runs out money and his career ends. If a person had unlimited amount of money, then it will be normal to endlessly chase losses and continue gambling even when constantly loosing. Also gambler does not gamble each day for all of his money. To stretch gambling process, he gambles with small amounts, but if he gambles rarely, then he might place big bets and try to chase losses. Anyway, likes it was said million times already, it is all individual.

I don't know buddy, but what is certain and what I believe is that they are unable to accept the fact of losing which makes them emotional and want to take revenge based on desperation and then continue gambling, and I would say that they are gamblers who come with only the hope of “wanting to win or multiply money” while on the other hand gambling is not just about winning opportunities because obviously defeat will always be a part of gambling, there is no tolerance and anyone can never avoid losing entirely.

We have to go back to the basic understanding of gambling where it is clear that gambling is always about two things, namely between winning or losing, One can never know the outcome at the end of the session because gambling always goes without any certainty and guarantees so some of these facts make people always advise each other to gamble in moderation and never put excessive hopes on winning at the end of the session because it is an idea that will make us feel disappointed when it turns out that the results do not match and the disappointment will end up with emotions which is the starting point for gamblers to continue the session with more aggressive actions in the hope of returning something that has been lost. This is the reason why it is always recommended to gamble with the amount we can afford to lose, none other than to minimize the occurrence of emotions, because when someone is already emotional then usually they do not hesitate to do crazier things.

If you lose 3-5 times, you would most likely will try to win, to improve = you will continue gambling. But imagine you lose 500 times, will you still keep trying ? If you fail to achieve something so many time, wont you drop it and do something else? It does not have to be 500 loses in a row, but people usually dont remember win, or remember only large ones. But they definitely remember that they lose many times.
