This could happen to any gambler without an exemption, but the difference is that we let go easily than each other. Some gamblers could say their next bet could recover their former losses, but after losing again, they might just call it a day. But many gamblers will not do so because they could either be daring, less experienced, or are just desperate and reckless. So, for me, this could be attributed to 1. The mind and 2. Experience.
