However, I think it is too common for a player to chase losses, I have experienced this myself, until I realized that many players have this problem. In fact, gambling establishments even benefit from players behaving this way and losing control, because the speed of loss accelerates and when a player wants to win back again, he will need to borrow or borrow money somewhere else, which takes addiction to a new level. In general, when we start to come up with excuses to play, at this point we need to stop, but the problem is that no one thinks logically anymore, because emotions completely take over the player.
The Frustration of playing to win after many loss is hard to Fix and that’s when the player start gambling without discipline. My topic was not to support those that want to win after many loss, after a major loss I feel bad about it even those it doesn’t affect me to go on playing. I could go away, off the game but I feel even and better when I can get a major win after but if it doesn’t come then I hold my urges.

In my case, when I lose, it doesn't make any big difference to me. I continue acting normally, without anger or regret. Perhaps because I've already convinced myself that the chances of me losing are much higher and that, for that reason, the money I bet is a lost sum. So, when the result is a loss, I no longer feel sad, I don't dwell on the lost money. I focus on other things and on betting on other games. I'm glad that, in my case, I understood early on that gambling involves a high risk of losing money.

And since gambling is legal and very popular here in my country, I've seen many cases of fights caused by gambling, and even suicides caused by gambling. That's why this also teaches me a life lesson: not to follow the same path as those people who kill themselves or fight because they lost at gambling.
