It's because you are gambling in desperation. You know that you can't afford to lose that money, so you are not thinking clearly when you make large bets. The old saying that scared money can't make money is true. When the chips are stacked up in front of us, and we have a strong financial foundation, we can win a lot of money. Once desperation sets in, the chips will likely run away quicker than they ever ran towards us. It is the nature of the beast, and most of us have been exactly where you are right now. The only way to win is to quit gambling until you're not scared or can afford to lose, because the fear of losing will lead to a lot of losing. That is why when gamblers go on tilt and chase, we almost always lose. In that state of mind we have a losers mentality, so we inevitably lose.
