Ignorance of how to manage your money can really play a cruel joke on a person when he suddenly realizes that there is clearly not enough money for ordinary current needs.  This happens after you have spent a lot on something.  But I think that the gambler still knows how much money he has on deposit and how much more he can add to the deposit.  But those people who do not monitor their spending at all can indeed find themselves in a very difficult financial situation, especially if due to some events they lose permanent sources of income.  Sometimes such players have absolutely no time to contnue playing.  They have completely different concerns.

That's how it is, that's why I've always said something, if we are going to play in a casino , what we should do as a first option is to allocate money that we are willing to lose , when you have that control I think that you are free from many problems and it's the best for everyone, that's my advice so that things never get out of control and obviously if you lose the money that you are willing to lose, then don't put more until another day, or for another game session that obviously shouldn't be right there.

But just a novice player is susceptible to literally immediately starting a new game session immediately after losing the amount that he lost and apparently could afford to lose.  At this point, a psychological phenomenon kicks in that the player begins to internally convince himself that if he bets just a little more on the game, he will win and compensate for the lost money.  And this process of convincing oneself can continue several times.  In the end, of course, there is a chance of winning back, but in life this rarely happens and most players still lose more than they originally planned.  And there may also be a psychological breakdown, a crisis, and the player bets all the money he has on the game.  Well, the result here can be extremely negative. 

But how to reason with such players and really force them to leave the gaming session on time is a big and difficult question.
