I've a friend of mine who always complain that ever since he started gambling he haven't won a good amount, instead he'll be winning less money than what he expected but he can't stop. So I'm asking what do you suggest he should do at this case. For me I told him that he should know that gambling it's a game of risk and luck, but with the constant betting you might win the amount you've at mind someday. So what are your suggestions towards this.

I'm sure your friend has seen and heard of people winning huge amounts of money. This was embedded into his subconscious mind, and his subconscious mind plays this out whenever he is betting, so every time he bets, he is subconsciously and consciously trying to win, the second thing is the dopamine effect, a feel-good chemical that has an effect,, on our mind, so it's not about winning and losing its more on the feel-good effect brought by the dopamine.

Gamblers do things that are different from what they are saying, they want advice on how to stop gambling, but they are also thinking about their next playing sessions.

If your friend wants to stop gambling and is really serious, then the only way is for him to be under the care of a professional and full rehabilitation. Your friend is already addicted to gambling, and no advice can help him. Only a rehabilitation plan to take out all the symptoms of addiction.
