What really makes a gambler lose? Is it greed? Well it is the illusion of control. Illusion of control leads to continued gambling and the more a gambler plays the more the casinos win, right? As a gambler, you should be able to identify these illusions so you can at least get a hold of yourself...
Very often, the motive that makes a player return to the game is the fact that the player wants to win back after losing and thereby loses even more money. And this happens instead of stopping the game and returning to it the next day when the emotions calm down.
