On the long run, players are the ultimate losers, this is why I choose to be a humble gambler who risk very small money, people critize me because I choose to risk too very little money, they keep saying I won't win a lot, but I don't care, because the roller coaster never ends.
Heads up, to all of you gamblers running after a must win, the question is will you win and walk away from gambling forever? Because this is sadly but truthfully way to win gambling for real.
If you win today you haven't escape, because you will be back, correct me if I am wrong, those who choose to have fun with gambling knows why they choose this because they know deep down that they will always be here.
Win today, you will be back, and that's what makes casinos the winner.
It's a never ending cycle and just like you said if you win today that doesn't mean you have won because you will be back to it and that's where things can take a different turn. I always tell people that anything you win big from a casino game you should be scared of what might happen next especially if you are the type that stakes high amounts of money. It's possible to lose twice as much as what you won, be careful.
