Hi everyone,
Here actually is my finding on why people chase loses in gambling, do you know that it's natural for a gambler to chase after his or her loses? Well, if you don't know, now you know, it is natural in the sense that ; the desire is inbuilt, it is we ourselves that learn to put or subject the desire to our control, same way it is natural to feel bad when you lose a bet, but you can be happy if you choose to, and can control your emotion.

One of the reason why many gamblers naturally chase after their lose is due to one thing that is built into every game known as the "near miss effect", after every loss, a near miss effect makes our brain believe that a win is very close, and this automatically makes the player to keep playing and playing, even while he or she is losing, his or her brain convinces itself that a jackpot is just around the corner, this makes the player keep playing until he or she discovers that his or her bankroll is empty, this is when anger and regret usually sets in, you begin to feel like you were not really yourself all that time you were gambling, like you were hypnotized or something, and you only regained consciousness of yourself when you have already gambled all your money away.

This has happened to me few times, and from it, I've leant to always be conscious of myself and my decisions while gambling, making sure I do not allow my brain to deceive me into believing that my losses is because a win is around the corner, making me to gamble way more than I've planned to.

So, from your own understanding, what do you think makes people chase loses aside greed which I believe many of us are already familier with?.

Totally just that normal human being instinct on having such kind of reaction on the time that they would really be that losing money and this is why their next step that they do have in mind is on how they would really be able to recover those things and would really be able to at least break even or winning up on the other hand. We do know that when it comes to chances of losing and winning in gambling then it would really be always bias for it to be on the losing side and this is something that someone should really be able to realize it first so that you wont really be finding yourself to be that desperate on chasing up those loses or trying out to break even.
This is the main reason on why gambling industry is really that profitable due to the fact that people would really be turning out to be impulsive on the time that they would really be playing. They would really be trying out their best on making things right specially if they are really that on the losing condition. It would be making things even more worst if you would be having this kind of approach or action that you do have in mind.
People would really be that making out realizations on the time or moment that they do found themselves on a tough condition or situation on which losing up money too much. They should have done that earlier but
well people do always love on pursuing into something on which we know that it cant really be just that possible Why people cant just simply be able to tell and notice it out beforehand?
If all would really be having that kind of fast reaction thinking then majority wont really be messing up their lives because of gambling.

Its a normal reaction on which if you do lose then you would be playing more to have a win and cover up on what you have lost. Its indeed a normal reaction for someone who do gambles
but on the time that you are already spending up tons because you do keep yourself on a loop then this is a huge mistake for a certain gambler would be doing. You should have that good
control when it comes to emotions when times like these do really happen. The main issue on why people do really experience shit conditions just because they had made out some shit decisions.
If you do really just that play gambling for the sake of fun then you wont be coming up with that kind of approach or behavior towards gambling on which chasing up losses and too much greed
will definitely be putting you on trouble.
