A gambler cannot be called an addict if he can stop at any point. Those who are addicted gamblers can never take losing easily. Even if they lose, they feel that they have to recover their lost money immediately. As a result of their misconception, they are gambling day after day. Some to recover his losses and others to win. Either way those who lose control over their gambling become addicted gamblers. There are some addicted gamblers who gamble after a loss with the intention of recovering that loss and eventually lose their entire bankroll. Those who wish to conduct normal and healthy gambling must stay away from addiction and have good money management skills.

Chasing losses in gambling is like chasing after a car that have failed brakes, you don't know where it's going to crash and when it crashes, it is going to case damage to the car and perhaps to the person driving it. A gambler must not chase losses in gambling because they will not recover the lost money, they will still loss more. I wish I can make all addicted gamblers to know this.

You can't. When a gambler is in that zone where he is trying to get revenge for the money that he lost, he will have a hard time hearing anything that is talking to him or even listening to those who care about him so that he will stop.
It's a phenomenon where a person's brain is clouded by his own hate for himself and the gambling site for taking his money without giving it back.
I've been there a lot of times but thankfully I can still control myself to the point that whenever I deplete the money that I gambled, I will stop and never deposit again. That's where it gets worse when a gambler tries to deposit more, increase the bet amount to chase the losses, and then deplete it again and do the same thing over and over again. Control and discipline are our only allies because no one can stop us until we have the money left in our savings or other ways like credits and loans.

Gambling is more complicated than most people realize. I promise its more than money. Winning and not losing are both important. Humans naturally fight back to regain what they've lost. This spiral can be harmful and hard to break. Gambling may be thrilling. Millions consume it responsibly daily. Smart gambling is knowing your limitations and never gambling more than you can afford to lose.The gaming industry feeds on excitement and entertainment. It must also encourage responsible gambling. We must provide them with the skills and knowledge to enjoy the games without getting lost.
