I do think that gamblers who take gambling activities seriously have their motivation come from the amount they envision and hope to win, hence why they remain persistent in gambling instead of quitting after winning a little.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.

In essence the thought process a gambler focuses on during any gambling activities will determine if such a gambler would gamble much more or lesser than normal and also, if such a gambler would become successful at their gambling endeavors.

What are your thoughts?

I think the opposite mindset should be deployed here and gambling with only a certain amount of money. Once the money is gone the gambling amount that you set aside you should be done with that episode. If you win then you take the overall investment and then some and reevaluate. I think this is a better idea.

Yes, think the opposite, in the sense of not thinking or imagining about winning but imagine what if you lose and lose a lot of money, this will cause a sense of worry that will eventually make a gambler only dare to bet a minimum amount and when they win then as you said where I am also quite sure that they will immediately secure the amount of victory compared to continuing the game by applying greed.

In gambling or any risky activity, focusing yourself or your mind on various unwanted possibilities should be emphasized more than imagining everything that you may not get, and this is why the ability to accept the consequences of risk is something that must be possessed by a gambler.
