annoyance will arise when experiencing what OP told, but this is where the importance of good self-control will play a role, I myself, if I experience what OP experienced, I will stop because there is a possibility that there will be annoyance that can make me lose control of myself and besides that I myself am a person who does not want to take risks when it comes to gambling, so prevention is better than cure. although maybe if I return to betting I can win but I'm not sure everything will go well. so minimizing the risk depends on ourselves. not extending the gambling session is a good thing, because it will make everything okay. we know that winning in gambling is not easy to get so the choice is ours, moreover when winning or losing extending the gambling session is not the right action in my opinion, there are times when we are emotional and if we fail to control ourselves this can make us fall deeper into gambling like being trapped in a cycle of addiction.

Well you are right , self-control play a vital role in gambling, which may help to minimize losses when gambling. Because we all are aware that losses cannot be avoided or neglected, but one can manage his losses by having a good self-control. This the thing most gamblers lacks in this space that's why there are alot of sad stories how one lose a certain huge amount  amount of money, for instance one would have lose only just small amount of money but due to not knowing when to stop .
I agree that losses in gambling Is just as normal as winning is, but tell me something, will you bet on a game that you are very sure that you will lose? Who does that?

So, we can't completely and all the time, blame a gambler for losing huge amount of money because we assume his loss was due to him or her lacking in self control.
Whether a gambler gambles often or not, the truth remains that from time to time, he or she will lose some games, he or she may find a game to be very promising and sure, and decide to bet really high on it so as to make maximum profit, only to discover that he lose the game by the end of the day, such loss is not as a result of lack of self control, it's simply gambling doing what makes it gambling.
