I'm down 6 or 7k in January. Not once did I win even $100 profit from that. Went to the casino with 3k and lost it all on slots in 30 min. $25 spins and it was toast.
It's like I enjoy losing, or I'm on a never ending chase for revenge.

I’m one of the lucky ones that hit multiple max wins over my lifetime. Extremely rare wins. Even when I stopped, at some point I’ve went back to gambling and managed to lose all the profits. I had many good runs overall, but most of the time I’d still find myself on crazy losing streaks.
Look at these statistics released by Deuce Recovery today.. no wonder why we see gambling advertisements every two minutes.. insane

The high isn’t from winning, but the anticipation of the win, the “near miss” (x-1 for a bonus trigger, or one symbol away from a large win) is also a way to hijack our brains.
It’s toxic, and I hate it as well. Have you tried self-exclusion?
Same. It’s dumb. I hate it. I’m ruining my life.
Every time ive had enough of losing all my money and having to start over, I end up winning and it sucks me back in, every time.
That’s honestly why I never ever spin big bets
It’s a like a losing streak of self destruction
i recognize that headspace. for me the moment it stopped bein about fun and turned into chasing a feelin was when i had to pause completely. losing fast can mess with your sense of control and make you want to forcee it back. steppin away was the only thing that broke that loop for me. even a short break helped me see it more clearly.
