Of course, in fact in gambling there is no difference between gamblers who are addicted and ordinary gamblers who come with the intention of just looking for entertainment, meaning that the chances of winning apply to all typical gamblers regardless of how they treat their gambling activities, but yes, as you said, one The difference between gamblers who are addicted and those who are not addicted is in terms of the way they take action after winning, where they always find it difficult to ignore their greed, in the sense that when they win, they continue the game by increasing the risk of betting, which in the end results in this action. brought them back to defeat.
So it doesn't mean that addicted gamblers always experience defeat, but as a result of the wrong way they treat their gambling, in the end, losses occur more often than wins because they treat their gambling activities wrongly.
Yeah most people misinterprets gambling addicts to be those that doesn't win at all but yet they get money from other sources to finance their gambling but it's not like that and there are some addicts that even wins more than an ordinary gambler that plays occasionally because there are higher chances of a continuous gambler to win just that at the end they still end up losing all their winnings and all their efforts goes in vain so gambling addicts wins and apart from those set of gamblers that doesn't give up on an amount they have lost and continue chasing losses till they get addicted if not gambling addicts are even the higher winners but in the quest to win more out of greed makes them look so foolish after losing everything.
Yes, it must be true that addicted gamblers also do not mean that they always lose, because after all, as we discussed above, the chances of winning are for everyone involved in gambling, and yes I agree with you that sometimes addicted gamblers manage to get a much bigger win than non-addicted gamblers, And I think it's very reasonable because as we know that addicted gamblers usually do not hesitate to take various significant or overly aggressive decisions such as betting with large budget amounts which when luck comes at the right time then it means that their winnings must also be large.
But yes in the end because they have the wrong way of treating their gambling activities such as applying greed then yes the bad possibilities they experience again such as losing all the amounts they have previously earned and the situation is a situation that makes an addicted gambler experience more significant emotions that make them assume and think of chasing losses as we often hear and it is caused by a sense of revenge in themselves.
