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.

I agree, the thing is that if only I had discovered the forum before the casinos, then the advice that one would have taken from them perhaps would have avoided losing Certain Amounts of Money , but it is delicate, if we now speak to novices, they will not pay attention to us because of the emotion, and maybe they will tell us:  "This is my money and I spend it however I want" and they are right, sometimes people have to fall into the same mistakes that we fell into , one tries to help them so that they do not go through experiences similar to ours, but rather try to have a better Experience , because that is what it is about, but it is difficult.

Yeah, maybe it's difficult.  And a novice to gambling would still rather not read warning posts from experienced players, but would prefer to simply play for fun.  And of course, lose, lose your money, but also gain your own experience.  But starting from a certain point, especially if such a beginner begins to understand that something is wrong in his game, he still begins to read what more experienced players write.  In my opinion, this stage of perception of information about gambling from experienced players will begin earlier, which will be better for this newbie. 
By the way, he will most likely lose less money.
