Do you think gambling has a spirit that controls gamblers?

[SmartGold01]

Just as the title implies, does it mean gambling has a spirit that controls gamblers whereby they don't know when to quit and when to continue?

If this is true please could you kindly explain it to me more better, because have I have came across few people that says over time while gambling and they reached their limits there is something in them to say they should try more time if they will win before leaving or closing for the day, and when they plays it will results that they lose and same thing will trigger them to bet again before they knew they don't know when they will end up emptying their account just to make sure they secure a winning for that very day before leaving.

But in the other hands I will boldly say that this is addiction spirit which has grown and resulted to greed, revenge gambling just to make sure they have winning before leaving the casino house has resulted in losing all their money.

What do you think spirit or not spirit?

casinos just as the media or government understand how to manipulate the behavior of a person. casinos have been collecting data to its users and how they react to promotion and bonuses. if they want to gambler to return and do exactly what they want to do, they will come up with new scheme. it doesn't mean they are scamming but we just fall to its trick and deposit more to play.

i noticed in 2018,  some casino are sending emails revealing new strategies to win in dice game. later i learned it wasn't just me who received the email. 
there is no spirit to gambling, we however preach money.

In gambling there is always a theory "when more time to play then they can win with less time they will lose" but I don't believe that because gambling is luck not skill that is needed so it will be very rare what I know from some friends who play for a long time then they win but often I hear they always run out and lose because they are too greedy.

So in gambling when you are excited then it's instinct that speaks but the reality is not like that and there is still a lot that happens, I say when they are too excited then not as expected then this will be an aggressive level and continue to bet until their money runs out.

Are you saying that when someone is happy they should avoid gambling or what?
To me I can only sense that when someone make huge winning at this point there is joy in that person and with this same joy and happiness he could be tempted to gamble the more to increase profits or even win higher than expect without knowing they are gradually losing for real. The idea of when a gambler gambles and made huge winning and still keeps gambling is what actually leads to gambling addiction because at that when he gets backs to gambling he would think that all funds will be recovered without even knowing that s/he is about to lose more.

I think if a gambler being controlled by a spirit or being told that they will win if they continue to gamble is just a superstitious belief. It is not a real belief, but more of a common excuse used by gamblers who lose money and try to blame it on something else. Because the truth is. they are in control of their own choices and actions.

It's already part of a human behavior. If a person loses something, such as money especially in gambling, they tend to look for something to blame and use as a reason why they experience such thing, even if it is not true. They often convince themselves of something that is not real.

Any gambler that is chasing his losses, is not a responsible gambler, and that is why he used the money that he cannot afford to lose to gamble, and this is why that gambler will find it difficult accepting his loss, and quit the game. This is because he needs the money badly, and he cannot let it go, because it will look as if he can win it back, but didn't take the bold step. This is why a gambler shouldn't see gambling as a means to make income, if not he will end up chasing his losses, and will end up being an addict because he cannot control his emotions. It is good time, you have a time limit for your gambling activities to save you from more losses.

Yes you are right, they are not ready to lose money because they lose they will try to recover their losses and that makes them lose even more at that time.

If this is still done then eventually they will increase their losses. That is simply not responsible for the gambling they do. Because if they are really responsible they will stop when they lose their first gamble and will come back again in the future instead of following the defeat at the moment.

This is weird. Thinking of this premonition stuff just want to avoid the part where the actual gambler is the reason why he is gambling too much. It's an addiction and there's nothing else. It's the responsibility of the gambler to know that he shouldn't do it anymore because you could lose a lot more if you continue. Just be responsible and accountable.

I was one of those who receive those emails as well I remember some years ago I created an email that is intended for gambling alone and receive the same ads about bonuses but good thing has happened with that email because it's now inaccessible as my old phone died way back 2021 due to the super typhoon that hit us hard.

But my problem right now is that my phone number got bombarded by gambling ads almost everyday which is very annoying. I don't know how these bastards knew my number.

I personally do not believe on the spirit thing in gambling, some will but I don't. None of those people I know who believe on it become successful with gambling so I don't think it works.

Well, @OP, if you suggest that there is a spirit in gambling that torments gamblers, then what could be the name of that spirit? Why doesn't the spirit torment all gamblers in the world?

It's an uncontrollable urge that affects some gambler, making it difficult for them to control their emotions and their decisions anytime they want to start gambling.

There are some hard drugs that some individuals would also allow themselves get addicted to which ends up to put them in a bad health conditions. So is how gambling also have that kind of urge and anyone who lacks self control would just become addicted.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

No, I don't think gamblers see themselves as possessed and act as victims of a spirit that controls them. The evidence is clear: the vast majority of us who gamble do so responsibly, and those who have problems I bet there are other factors at play, such as low self-esteem, multiple addictions (drugs, sex, etc.) and other problems. But the fact is that one is responsible for one's actions and there are many people who have had problems in the past and have managed to get out of it, so I don't buy the spirits narrative.

It's part of human behavior. When a person loses something valuable, such as money in gambling, they tend to look for something to blame or a reason why it happened, even if it is not true. They often convince themselves of something that is not real.

You absolutely correct because people aren't able to control their gambling desire and they have been engulfed with greed at that point they won't know is greed but when they lose money they would look for something to defend themselves to make it looks as if was that which causes them to lose their money. Okay why don't they control their gambling or constantly betting if was controlled i don't they would channel their blames to any spirit or whatever. That is why is good for a gambler to know their limits and bounds while gambling to avoid excessive spending while gambling.

Gambling - one of the ways to get new impressions, relax from the grayness of everyday life. Gambling gives people those emotions that they do not get in normal life, and also helps to get andrenaline

Does it mean that those who are not gambler are suffering for any health disease?
If so show me those that who are gambling that has not turned into addiction, or similarly then i will know if gambling is bad or good in our lives today. I have had numerous stories of gambling addiction and what they suffers along the line.

[JoyMarsha]

There is no spirit that governs gambling. As you have mentioned, it is one addiction that drives gamblers to wager more than they would ever want to.

Generally speaking, addiction can be fatal at times since it acts as an overwhelming force that you are powerless to resist. It will constantly pressurize you to participate in it, and it requires a great deal of effort to stop.
