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.
Everyone in business takes a hit once in a while. It must surely happen. Those who quit immediately they suffer losses without staying back to find out why they lost or are losing in order to fashion a way forward hardly grow in that business. Gambling is a business. Those who indulge it should be ready to stomach the losses that come with it. Knowing this, and to keep ourselves safe from elapsing into addiction, every gambler should know when they hit they limit and take some time off. Otherwise, continuing to play when one is in losses simply points to addiction.
