After a loss, I might spend a few hours thinking, "I wish it had happened this way, not this way, or that way, etc." But I forget about it after a while and start thinking about finding a new way to deposit more money. I think that many gamblers like me think the same way as other gamblers.
When a gambler loses, he does not turn away from gambling, but forgets the bad experience and starts gambling again. This is actually how a gambler thinks about gambling, but it does not mean that the gambler is addicted to gambling.
