The most terrifying thing for a gambler is relapsing and blind overconfidence.
The most terrifying thing for a gambler is relapsing and blind overconfidence. Many people would say, "You've lost so much, have you thought about your family?" The answer is definitely yes. The more we think about it, the more afraid we become. The more we want to win it back.
Compulsive gamblers may fall into this pattern. They're willing to do whatever it takes to win back their losses, even if it means seeking money from everywhere. If every gambler could wake up immediately, the world wouldn't have people like us.
Looking back, I realize that my mindset at the time wasn't so much about being afraid of losing, but it was more about fearing I wouldn't have a place to play, nowhere to recover my losses. Every time I told myself it would be the last time to recharge, but the results were always the same.
I remember one time, I kept losing and recharged four times, 20,000 each time. It wasn't until the fourth time when I won back a little more than 20,000 that I felt balanced. I praised myself and thought that I should be careful and stick to this strategy. I believed that, after a while, I would return to my initial state.
Now, as I reflect on that period, I realize how foolish I was. I had already gone beyond gambling; it had become pathological, a mental issue.
Although I still gamble now, I don't dare to go back to my previous ways. I'm scared after experiencing all of it. At the time, I owed so much money, but now I've finally paid it off. I only dare to play small stakes, and I know I have to stop whether I win or lose. If I were to continue like I did before, I don't think I'd be here now. |
