I think everyone has experienced the thought of almost winning, but the thing I'm worried about is when they lose and think like this, plus in the previous gamble they almost got a big win, then this allows the player to gamble again by depositing their money again to gamble again because they think they almost won, so they think in the next gamble they will be able to win, I have also experienced this and it's really sad when I remember it hahaha.
It's true what you said, casinos are built to make money, so the chances of winning that players have cannot be greater than the casino, it's only natural that players experience more losses than wins.
Certainly, that sensation of being so near makes it much more difficult to halt it's as though the mind mislead you into believing the next one will strike since the past one was almost there, I have also been there in those times it is difficult to go. The system is actually designed to keep you in that cycle, Winning seems doable but the house always has the advantage, Knowing that helps even if it, doesn't always simplify opposition.
And thats what commonly happening into us on which we've been that trying out to believe that we might be able to hit up on the next choice specially if near misses do happen. There are just that those individuals who are that being delusional when it comes into this aspect when dealing up with gambling specially if they've been able to win up some amounts earlier and creating out that kind of positivity towards their gambling activity on which later on they have trying out to chase up those winning condition or moment. We've been able to came up with those ideas in our mind on what would be pushing up for us to play up even more. This is what that makes us pursue into something on which arent supposed to be done in the first place. This is why its important that you do came up with your senses when dealing up with gambling and stick out into something that gives out that kind of saving up yourself into potential trouble ahead.
