Probably, for most gamblers who are not addicted, this is not even a trick or strategy, but a standard behavior. In general, using this example, you can see the difference between a healthy person and a patient with gambling addiction. If a person is constantly losing and has lost the entire bankroll, it does not mean that he is addicted. If a person wins (that is, he has achieved his goal) and, nevertheless, continues to play, then, as in the first case, he loses everything, then this person is addicted.

This is clearly your own analogy, but I would say the person missed out on enjoying his wins and not concluding he is an addict until I am sure he gambled beyond his budget or without a budget. People can be lost in damaging optimism and think they would keep securing more wins after an initial good winning. Without more control over yourself in the form of withdrawing your winnings or pausing on gambling for the moment, It is more than possible you would throw everything back into the casino and miss out on enjoying your wins.

Most gamblers are affected by these things a lot, they become overconfident in their initial wins and think that this winning streak will continue, but soon they get negative results for their greed, they definatley lose their previous wins, and even after that they gamble with more money and become emotionally involved, and face more losses. Actually, these are the results of being greedy and emotional. Greed and emotion in gambling will definitely lead you to disaster, so gamble according to the rules and restrictions, stop playing to enjoy it after winning, and stop gambling even if you lose, excessive gambling is harmful to everyone.
