I've noticed that people involved in gambling share a few common thoughts, especially those who are deeply immersed in it:
They want to win money.
They want to recover their losses.
They want to clear their debts.
The third one, wanting to clear debts, is the real demon that indirectly leads to the mindset of wanting to win and recover losses. In my younger, more reckless days, I started winning initially, and that made me overconfident. As I continued playing, I even invested my entire salary into it. Unfortunately, I forgot that gambling is inherently uncontrollable; you can't dictate how much you want to win.
There's a saying, 'Good news lifts the spirits, and bad news keeps coming.' It's strange how luck can be consistently bad once it turns against you. As we often hear, bad luck tends to last for three years. Have you ever heard of consistently good luck for three years? Well, I haven't.
In gambling, too, once your luck turns bad, it seems to persist. No matter what you bet on, it just doesn't work out. When you finally decide to stop playing after losing so much, there might be a couple of wins to give you hope, making you believe that your luck is turning around. Then you continue betting, often increasing your stakes, hoping to quickly recover your previous losses. Sometimes, you don't even notice whether you're winning or losing, as a few wins during a losing streak create an illusion that you're still making money. However, when you look at the overall result, it's a disaster.
It's like being in a casino; without realizing it, your chips are gone. Many times, this is the beginning of borrowing money. The more you borrow, the more you gamble, the more you lose, and the more you want to win just to clear your previous debts.
Speaking of this, what other thoughts do you all have when involved in gambling? Let's exchange ideas~ |
