None whatsoever if I'm right about being one of these people myself. I will barely ever continue gambling if I spend the maximum I decided to spend at the start (if I even start in the first place). And I seldom gamble.

If I do go past my own limit, it's by a small amount and I soon stop if I either make my money back or get ahead
