Often gamblers will go back to gamble another day in order to “ Get Even “ or” Get Back” the money, lost the day before. This can lead to a Snowball effect of using money that is meant for living expenses and other commitments, in order to gamble, then having to win that money back to pay living expenses, with more being invested and lost. Often the rational is that the: win will allow the gambler to take care of their financial commitments when logically, itis the gambling: that has.created the - financial problem in the first place. Chasing lost money is similar to an alcohol or drug addict trying to reproduce the “ Good Times “ of the past. Chasing lost money is also similar to the loss of control experienced by alcohol and drug addicts. When gambling, remember, odds are that you will lose. Do not go back another day to win back your money or get even.
