Personal feelings and emotions like frustration and regrets. It could also just be desire of becoming rich or the idea that they just enjoy the experience. It depends on the individual actually; we have our own reasons in the first place of why we are doing something. There are two sides to consider; playing despite of losses because you lost that much and you have to make up for it or continuing to bet because you can afford the amount you've lost.

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 wouldn't say the same thing. I doubt that with constant betting we can actually win big someday.
If it were so then everybody would be betting these days in the hope of winning big some or the other day.
Since we already know its just pure luck, we shouldn't pay more focus into it and just casually bet withing our budget.
May be luck shines some day then we can win big otherwise we wouldn't need to stress so much anyway.

Well, betting continuously would basically increase your chance of winning because you are adding attempts to do so however it won't lessen the tendency of losing. The more you bet, the more you'd be exposed to the chance that you'll win but the question is, until when would you be able to do so? What would blow up first, you winning or you losing everything you have?

Yes, with repeated attempts we might win someday but the point is that we shouldn't stress ourselves over winning a lottery.
Doing that, we would just decrease our mental well-being and lose money which will just increase the impact.
This is why maintaining a balance is strictly necessary while gambling.

Control and moderation is everything when it comes to gambling and other sorts of things specially if its really that related on spending up some funds or money towards it, because on the time that you had missed out on doing so then it would really be bringing out that huge disaster into your finances and this is something that you must avoid at all cost. When doing gambling or betting then it would really be that normal that we would really be having that kind of urge since you do know that you can make money with it and its something a very common approach for most people. In the case of op, if he had been telling his friend on having that kind of risks in gambling and having that moderation in spending but still he wont listen then better to let him be, the thing on here is that you didnt lack on making those kind of warnings and cautions in towards it.

People do usually stop on playing gambling or stopping onto something when they do already experience unfortunate conditions but on the time that they arent that experiencing something then
they would really be tending to do those things no matter what or as long they do have money into their pockets on which this is something that you would really be needing up to think up carefully.
