Why do gambling addicts often believe they can “win back” losses despite statistical odds being against them? Is it because a weak mind or lack of will power that they have these doubts ?
Gambling addict believe they can win back their loses because they have programmed their mindset like that and they have sworn not to accept defeat and this will eventually causes them to lose more .and more till their sense get straight up after much loses. Well every gambler are not thesame, some gamblers are sensitive enough to know when to stop , apart from some who are always carried away, and that is why they are addict.
You are right though, especially with the part you said all gamblers are not the same, and like i did mentioned in my previous comment on this thread, chasing after loses in gambling is also not an activity only gambling addicts engage in, many non addicted gamblers some how knowingly or unknowingly engage themselves in chasing after gambling loses, so this is a common practise if you ask men.

And like I've said in multiple occasions before, this does turn out favorably for some gamblers who are extremely lucky, while it ends as bad loses for the most gamblers.
One thing I want us all to know is that no matter how practise people engage themselves in in gambling, no matter how dangerous or risky it is, there are some it does turn out to favor, even the addicts included.
