That’s why we can’t beat the casino in the long run. Even if we hit a big win, we’ll still come back and play again, and sooner or later the law of averages will kick in and we’ll lose. But even though we know that, as gamblers we still believe in luck. Since we get so much entertainment from gambling, even when we lose, we still keep coming back.
That’s the beauty of responsible gambling .. we can enjoy it for the long term, even if we lose in the long term.
The efforts casinos make can be addictive, making us want to continue gambling, whether we win or lose. Those with poor self-control are more likely to continue gambling, but those with good self-control will establish good behavior by setting limits and being disciplined in their gambling.
Enjoying gambling isn't just about winning. Some people may find it hard to enjoy gambling when they lose, even though there's a thrill, similar to watching a movie, that's the joy, even if there's nothing to gain beyond the thrill.
