The biggest mistake a gambler can make is trying to get rich with gambling, this mindset has a way of propelling gamblers to lose...The reason why it's easy for gamblers with such mentality to keep losing is due to greed...a lot of people blame their lack of self control on dopamine rush but this is just an excuse for indiscipline and it's one thing that keeps them mentally trapped, it's all about having self control

Another reason for this, is ignorance, a good amount of gamers don't think or picture what's life like being responsible. The term look weird to them and doesn't fit into their perspective of what gambling should be, so they end up making grievous mistakes out of no prior training on how to deal with the excessive desire for wealth through gambling.

Before someone even starts to conceive that idea of becoming rich through gambling, they should ask their selves if there are many gamblers that has became rich through gambling and that can give them a rethink that they should gamble responsibly and only take calculated risk.

The motivation most people get could e as a result of a friend of theirs who has been hitting the jackpot for a while now and all he tells them is, i jusy made it huge win and the the next week same thing again. That would definitely make them curious to how easy this person manages to pull such a huge win within a short time frame unknow to them that the part they heard off is just a fraction of what that other person has gone through or should I say an edited version of the entire story. Because of that they never failed to doubt for once that they can also pull off same win. And majority of the time our first trial is always the lucky one so that gives them more conviction that gamble is the right part to follow

Friend stories about big wins trigger fomo because they show only highlights not the full playbook
what gets shared is the edited version wins get shouted losses stay quiet so it looks easy when it really isnt.
Many fall for survivorship bias they notice winners and ignore the many who lost before that lucky hit
first trial luck fools a lot of people into thinking skill was involved when it was just variance.

Social pressure also plays a role hearing a mate boast repeatedly creates urgency and curiosity and that makes bad decisions feel normal
people often copy without asking for proof like bankroll size loss history or how often the wins happened compared to losses.
Set strict bankroll rules and stop limits before placing a bet start with tiny amounts to test claims and keep a log of results so decisions are data driven not emotional never borrow to chase a story and avoid chasing losses after an initial win. Remember, the house edge and variance always exist, a single win doesnt prove a repeatable method treat those tales as entertainment and skepticism as protection, that way relationships stay intact and money stays safer.
