Don’t we all know that greed leads to losses in gambling? That greed kicks in when we don’t set a target making us keep playing even when we’re already up, until our luck runs out and we end up losing. Can’t we see that? Maybe that’s the reason we don’t win because we don’t know when to stop.
I’m sure the regular gamblers here have experienced this before -- that moment when you say to yourself, "I should’ve just stopped… I could’ve walked away with my profits."
Who can relate?
You are absolutely correct greed is what brings about loss In gambling and not only in gambling even in some other things in life, though every human being have this little greed in them but it is left for them to show it out or let it control their emotions. Greed always causes more harm than good though sometimes greed can make you get something that if you didn't choose to be greed you won't get it but where it is not good is that the possibility or chance of you getting that particular thing is very small. I have been in this state of asking why didn't I stopped and it was not because of greed actually but because I was enjoying that moment.
Greed makes us go beyond the limits of anything. In case of gambling If you are not greedy then you will have the opportunity to gamble for a long time but when you are greedy then if you are lucky then you will get big wins otherwise you will cross your limit and spend on gambling which will bring you loss rather than profit. That is why controlling greed is the most important thing. Gamblers who can control their emotions can usually control their greed as well. Just as we set a limit for losing, similarly if we set a limit for winning and and if we take a break as soon as we cross that limit then we will be able to enjoy the profit at the same time it is possible to keep our emotions and greed under control.
