Once you get trapped in the loop of chasing your losses it can make your addiction very hard to stop. Most people engage in long sessions of gambling not because they just want to gamble continuously they are just trying tirelessly to get back what they lost. A gambler can be on his computer or phone gambling for than an hour, the moment you get into that mental trap it's hard to escape. Nothing is impossible though, even on this forum they are gamblers that share their experiences and how they overcame their uncontrollable addiction, anyone struggling with this should take out time to read and apply those things, it might be helpful.
The feeling to chase losses is usually strong and very difficult to overcome. You will simply have a strong conviction that you will get back all you have lost it you keep betting. Its is not strange to make succumb to these drive but it becomes a problem when it becomes recurrent. Having the mindset that gambling is unpredictable will help gamblers to control their gambling pursuit.
