I walked into a gambling outlet this morning to check if there were nice odds I could possibly pick for the weekend, and I saw a guy there gambling on instant virtual soccer games, the more this guy played, the more he lost which resulted to me asking him why he still persists and continue to play after so many failed attempts and he replied saying he’s lost so much already and he can’t stop until he has at least win back half of what he lost, he even proceeded by saying he was there yesterday and the same still happened and he’s can today to see if he’ll be lucky to win back what he’s lost. And this explains what we always talk about here, it was obvious he’s gambling only for the financial benefits of the game which resulted to chasing losses and rather than actually recovering, he still lose even more.
That will be a wrong mindset if he still persists from his losses because he can losses more than he can imagine. Once that is happens, maybe he will not be able to hold on himself and will do something that can makes him bad.
He should realize that he just waste his money without have a big chance to win from gambling so it is better if he quit gambling and walk away from the casino to calm down himself. It doesn't give him benefit if he stays for a long time in casino just hoping to win from gambling.
In this matter, you have a lesson not to do the same thing like him. You should control yourself when playing gambling so you can quit gambling when the situation not good for you.
