It's not wining that push some to be gambling addict, sometimes many people will gamble and win they will not partake on gambling for long time, but some people will gamble and lose and those people that lose will be just looking after their loses, nothing pushed someone to be addicted in gambling than when someone is chasing the lost in the gambling, so we need to understand such, so that we will not end up getting addicted, so many people who has lost out in gambling is the one that is addicted today because one thing will make you to be addicted unknowingly

It is about being able to accept your loss and that you made a mistake. Many people have issues with this in their minds.

I think that everything starts with thoughts. Let's say some newbie gambler played gambling and even won, for example, he was lucky and doubled his deposit. This happens often, but few can maintain this success. Well, such a guy will most likely start thinking that he got it all easily and now he can easily repeat such a win again. He is already mentally thinking about where he will spend the winnings.
And as a result, he returns to gambling with inflated expectations of winning.
But according to the theory of probability, he is no different from thousands of other players who have now come to play in an online casino. And therefore, he most likely will not be able to repeat his success.

Thoughts are involved yes, but more subconscious. it is about actions. If you gamble today only and don't repeat it, thinking about gambling won't make you an addict. But if you repeat it and gamble again and again, your thoughts are just making this process stronger and faster and eventually you get addicted.
