Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Problem gamblers suffer from cognitive distortions such as selective memory, which means they remember only the wins and not the losses. Attribution errors occur when they attribute wins to their own skills while blaming losses on external factors. Luck as a trait is also a cognitive distortion in which they believe that some people are inherently lucky while others are inherently unlucky. All three of these distortions are commonly seen in problem gamblers.
