You are absolutely right. Emotional factors and addiction are two major reasons why gamblers can be susceptible to losses.
Emotional factors, such as stress, excitement, or frustration, can heavily influence a gambler's decision-making process. When emotions are running high, rational thinking can be compromised, leading to impulsive actions like increasing bets, chasing losses, or making risky decisions. These emotional reactions can cloud judgment and lead to poor outcomes in gambling.
Furthermore, gambling addiction is a serious issue that can exacerbate the risk of losses. When someone develops a gambling addiction, they become obsessed with the activity and find it difficult to control their impulses to gamble, even when they are aware of the negative consequences. This can result in a vicious cycle of chasing losses, borrowing money to gamble, and experiencing financial difficulties.
It is crucial for gamblers to be aware of these emotional factors and addiction risks in order to mitigate their impact and make more informed, rational decisions while gambling. Seeking help from support groups, counseling, or therapy can also be beneficial for individuals struggling with emotional challenges and addiction in relation to gambling.

Many gamblers become susceptible to losses due to cognitive biases, such as the gambler's fallacy, where they believe that past outcomes influence future results. Emotional factors, like chasing losses or overconfidence after a win, can also lead to reckless betting.
Chasing losses, overconfidence during winning streaks, and deviating from optimal strategies can also lead to increased risks, misunderstanding odds or becoming impulsive in response to streaks of bad luck can further erode a player’s control, making them more vulnerable to sustained losses.
