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.
There is nothing that can be justified when we chase victory or we try to recover from defeat, because we will not get good results but we will suffer even greater defeats. This is something we as gamblers should avoid, because it will make the situation worse. We never know when we will win, all we know is that the risk when we gamble is very big, so it is not recommended at all to pursue something that even has a big risk.
We must remain in excellent self-control, lest we end up in a situation where our situation gets worse. We must have limits on how far we can gamble, how much money we can spend on gambling every month. I also don't even gamble at all when I don't have money to gamble with, I would rather remain silent than have to do something that has to sacrifice other things because we allocate money for other things for gambling.
