In my opinion, inflated expectations and hopes appear long before the gambler loses money in gambling. Rather, they appear because of a misunderstanding of how the gambling system works. And it seems to me that not all people gamble because of some life failures, because to take additional risks when you are not all good is a way not only to financial loss but also to mental problems. I believe that any stress should be experienced and then think about risky entertainment.
Exactly, I will draw a little conclusion here that a gambler's hope or expectation of winning does not appear after the gambler experiences defeat, usually this hope appears at the beginning before the gambler reaches the results of his game and that is also what drives a gambler to play at that time, these hopes and expectations can be triggered by various factors, starting from seeing other gamblers who have managed to achieve big wins, or because they remember the sensation of pleasure from the previous victory they have ever had, believe that these things can trigger excessive expectations of victory. Misunderstandings are certainly the initial trigger for a gambler to fall into various actions that should be avoided, but sometimes it cannot be denied that worrying life circumstances can also be one of the triggers for these misunderstandings.
