Do you consider chasing losses as one of the signs of gambling addictions? Personally, i do chase losses and most times it use to favour me in sports betting. One psychologist claimed that one of the signs of gambling addiction is chasing losses! I think he is absolutely wrong because a lot of gamblers use Martingale strategy as a betting system. Probably, chasing losses may be a sign of gambling addiction but not when a gambler choose it as a strategy

I don't think that chasing losses is a sign of gambling addiction. But it is a behavior that is within irresponsible gambling tendencies. There are people that chase gambling losses and get wrecked once in a while. But they can still control their appetite for gambling generally.

Chasing losses is a trap. There is no sugarcoating. I used to believe that strategy thing until one bad night wiped everything off. That Martingale thing can work, but once it fails, that's a big disaster. This is exactly why I stopped using it.
