A week ago, I also experienced a loss after previously winning several poker games with my friends. I visited my hometown when I was a child and met my friends, who then invited me to play poker. I didn't mind because I had gambled with them several times when I returned. However, this time I should have won some, but ended up losing. When I wanted to end the game, my friends wouldn't let me and asked me to continue for a few more sessions. Like you, it ended badly for me too.
When you're winning, it's hard to resist continuing.

Sometimes when you're winning at gambling, even if you want to quit, you still can't because you feel ashamed of your opponents, right?

So you think that you don't want them to say anything bad about you, so even though it's against your will, you just continue gambling with them until you see that you've lost in the end.

Yes, that's the difficulty with offline gambling, especially when we play with friends we know. What happens is, when the losing friend feels like they've had enough, they can stop gambling. But if they have a serious enough addiction, they always have money to continue playing. That's why I always carry a limited amount of money and think of it as a way to reunite with friends. The game is never tense, and it's filled with laughs.

That's how it should be!

Fun, not a competition of who undresses who in the end.
