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.

It’s just because they have the confidence that they are going to win if they don’t give up. Some of them do hear about other people's success stories, so it’s always encouraging them to gamble more, if they keep on gambling, they are going to win. Some of them will have already lost a significant amount of money, so they will be trying to win back the money they have lost, so they are always finding it very difficult to stop. The funniest part is that if some of them are able to win back their losses, they won’t stop gambling, they will continue gambling, thinking they will be able to win.

Yes, but they don't think that when they are on their way to pursuing victory, there will definitely be many losing situations that they will experience before finally achieving victory, which means that when they win, maybe it is the money they previously lost because of the defeat they suffered. returned by the casino, so actually their money just spins around unless the winning amount is very large. And yes, it is true that many gamblers feel motivated by the big wins achieved by other people, which makes them experience an increase in confidence and hope towards
victory and this encourages them to try again.

But yes, in the end, this belief will never be able to change the situation, simply put, gambling will always be random, which means only luck can bring them to victory, and yes, another thing that is clear is that when it turns out the results are not in accordance with what they expected, then usually It is difficult for them to accept this situation, which in the end makes them emotional and think about pursuing the losses they have experienced, which is the cycle experienced by gambling addicts, and as time goes by, the situation will get worse if the actions are not stopped immediately.

Folks, I understand. The excitement of the chase and a huge win are seductive. When others win, you wonder, "Why not me?" However, the house always wins. Gambling is a game of chance, and luck mostly doesnt favor you. Occasionally, you may get lucky and win back some losses. But thats the casino's technique of keeping you coming back. In this vicious cycle, its easy to get caught up in the adrenaline rush and believe the next win is imminent.

Gambling should not be about luck or chasing losses. The goal should be amusement, not a lifestyle. So, if you're losing more than you're winning or the excitement is becoming an obsession, pull back. Asking for help isnt shameful. Dont focus on the destination; focus on the trip. Change course if your route is unsafe.
