You make a valid point. Winning rounds can indeed contribute to gambling negligence and addiction for some individuals. The euphoria and excitement that come with winning can be addictive, leading players to chase that high by continuing to gamble, even if they are already at risk of financial or personal harm.
Moreover, as you mentioned, a winning streak can foster a false sense of security and invincibility, convincing players that they are more skilled or lucky than they actually are. This overconfidence can lead to riskier behavior, such as betting larger amounts or playing for longer durations, which can ultimately exacerbate gambling negligence.
It's crucial for players to recognize the potential risks involved in gambling and to practice responsible gaming habits. Setting limits on time and money spent, seeking help if they feel they are losing control, and being aware of the signs of addiction are all essential steps in preventing gambling negligence, whether one is experiencing a winning or losing streak.
