The data on this is actually pretty clear – chasing losses increases your risk of developing gambling problems by nearly 4x according to recent studies. I read somewhere that loss-chasing is one of the strongest predictors of problem gambling, even more than frequency of betting. What helped me was understanding the gambler’s fallacy just because you lost doesn’t mean you’re “due” for a win. Each bet is independent. I now set weekly limits instead of daily ones because it gives me more flexibility but still keeps me accountable.
