When you're already financially stress, you don't add another stress on top of that.
I would say that being in a state of financial stress not only adds an extra layer of pressure when it comes to gambling, but also leads to false hopes and unrealistic expectations. In this way, a person tries to compensate for failures in other areas of life. It’s a poor strategy, as it blurs the line of knowing when it’s time to stop. Even when someone does win, they often don’t cash out, because they’re fixated on a goal that is nearly impossible to achieve.
I agree.
That adds false hope because we find gambling as a quick way of having more money but only if you win.
This is on our minds when we see people winning their bets, it's hard to get stuck in that mentality when we have been there for several times.
And yes, we still believe that this unreal expectation keeps coming on our minds.
