There is just another thread that explains how gambling addiction is developed https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5535679.0. This is exactly what happens. The winning hooks you, and then you start losing. But since you are hooked you want to experience the feelings of winning again, you want to be a winner again and so you keep trying.
Winning stage: Gambling addiction starts off with the alluring winning stage, where everything seems perfect, and you are winning more often than you are losing. It's easy to get hooked at this stage, because of the thrill of winning, and the gambler still believes that they are in control. However, this stage is usually short-lived.
Losing stage: Losing stage follows after the winning stage. Here, you start to lose significant amounts of money, but since you know what it’s like to win, you continue to gamble, believing that the next win must be just around the corner.
Chasing/desperation phase: This is when you have lost so much money that you will do anything to win it back. This may involve lying to friends and family members, borrowing or stealing money in order to gamble, and chasing your losses. By this stage, it is extremely difficult to quit, since the gambler is in so much financial ruin that they are desperate for money.

You’re not alone on this, bro. I’m also a fan of slots. I usually start small, telling myself it’s just for fun but then a losing streak hits, and it starts to feel like the system is rigged. That’s when I get aggressive, trying to chase the win… and I end up losing everything.
I don’t even know when I’ll finally learn my lesson. It’s happened to me so many times. Sometimes, I try to convince myself to stop playing but I still can’t resist, especially when I’ve got nothing else to do.
The thing is that it can actually be rigged in some places. You need to be careful where you choose to play. If the casino is honest, then your emotions are only rigging you.
