Accepting the loss is the most important thing to do, other points you made are also valid, but the first one cannot be overemphasized on. You must learn to move on from what has happened because you can't do anything to change the past but you can take actions that would shape your future. Regretting the decisions you made would only lead to you Making more mistakes because you might be tempted to start chasing your losses to get back what you have lost. Remember you can't get back what you have lost by gambling more, the earlier you accept this the better.

Yes, that's true, gambling is an activity in which the result is mostly based on luck and it comes with either a win or a lose. Anyone that wants to venture into gambling newly, must be aware of all these and they must be ready to accept the losses which is usually more frequent. Every gambler must be willing to accept losses and move on easily.

Accepting the loss might be the hardest part of all. There are times we won't stop as long as we still have the money for more deposits. Honestly, I have been in a situation like that and I did think I can come back from all my losses but sadly I didn't. Although, I am thankful I didn't go zero and just accepted that I cannot get back the money that I lost.
We must be prepared with that and I think we can become better gambler if we do believe that we aren't going to win against the house. We can easily quit by using that belief and take the day off or a week off in gambling afterwards.

It's better to just step away from the game itself for a few days and see how it goes. I know that feeling though, last week I lost some big money, for two straight days, and whenever I played after that, I still take a big L.

So I said to myself, that I need to slow down for now, as I'm having a unlucky week. That's why I do for now, although I'm tempted to play because online games are accessible, I try as hard as I can to not to as the damage is going to be too emotional for me. The money yeah, you can recover if, but the psychological tear is killing me.

Losing a huge amount of money through gambling games can be very threatening and challenging,and it's obviously very impossible to recover the said money back.Thats why they'd always advice to seek professional counselling from gambling support services.
Generally,the best remedy for addiction is to gradually withdraw from gambling and clear your mind.Your mental health would have been stressed and stretched.So realx and refrain from gambling till further notice.

When they loses 5/6 times in a row, usually they becomes worry and desperate with their losses. They want to recover their losses by keeping playing gambling and chase the win. But they forgot that what they do will only gives them more losses because they play with a hurry and not limit their money and even some of them  increase their bet as they think that will gives the big wins. But that will not always happen as they want because they will difficult to win big even they use big bet.

If they already lost for some time, it is better they stop their gambling activities and leave the site to calm down their minds. With leaving the site, they can take a deep breath and thinks how their gambling activity for that day. If they think that it is bad, they must not playing gambling for some days to recover their minds.
You are right and I agree with you that when any person loses 5/6 times in a row becomes desperate about their loss and becomes too greedy and/or tries to gamble too fast and as much money as they have to recover all the losses in a single bet if the gambling site has the limit and finally might be the loser of the gambling.

Better to accept that reality and move forward, if it's needed for you to move away from gambling then do so, as it saves you a lot including your relationships with those people who cares for you, take things as a hard lesson to learn after suffering, there are things that you need to consider and you need to face along the way, no need to turn your back and retry your luck if you already lose a huge amount as it can be repeated if you push your way and it's more unhealthy if you suffer another big loses..

After a big loss (or when you lose your deposit) there is a regret to leave gambling, and you just want to relax without betting, but most often after a few weeks or months there is a desire to return again. I do not think that this is an addiction that I can not give up, I just like it and even when I do not bet I still continue to follow the teams, so I am aware of things and can always return.

That usually works for those that have strong self-control, and same time it also helps to build strong self-control, staying without gambling for a while after experiencing some losses , because some folks can get emotional and start losing more due to the act of chasing or running after losses , but if you can restrict yourself from that and stop for a while to get your head straight, like going out to take some air or try doing other activities before going back.

Agree to that, it will developed your self control, if you can just hold on and not to add more but still monitoring the movements of the team that you are supporting, you can have a betterview as you are well aware of what they are capable, once you have spare money you can allocate it and start betting back, it won't triggered any addiction as you managed to control not to add money after suffering from a defeat but still monitoring.

If not going all-in, I would strongly recommend to withdraw rest from the casino account after a huge loss. Nobody ever succeeded in winning back lost money, but temptation to do that will push to gamble recklessly. Please, withdraw and return when you chillout. Dont make bad situation even worse. Focus on that money are a renewable resource.

By regretting the lose in gambling, you will realize that you need to fix your mistake by learning more about self control and practice that more often. We already lost our money so we must avoids that by limiting our funds and money and not playing gambling for a while. We need to take a break for a while to calm down ourselves after our losses so we can thinks clear what we need to do.

We don't have to feels too regret because that is the risks of playing gambling. Leaving the casino for some time will help you to thinks more about what you already did in gambling so must change that before it is too late.

In gamble you don't need to include your emotions while wagering, while making a deposit or when you have realized that you are at loss because it will definitely make you lose more than you can afford to lose.
it is not like we can decide to just leave out emotions while gambling i think it is normal to be excited with the prospect of gambling or the idea of winning or make you a bit thrilled or anxious when playing it is all normal but you need to learn how to not act upon having these emotions so if you feel happy you should not let that affect your decisions and keep playing always stick with what was the original plan
Quote
However, any time you have realized you are on a losing streak, all you have to do is quite and go back home or switch off your device (if gambling online) and continue later.
the hardest thing to do is to walk away it is true but we must also learn when to accept defeat and accept that maybe it it just not your day today and maybe tomorrow will be a better one it would be difficult because it might be frustrating and  you might want to keep going but maturity and experience should make it easier for you

I agree with you. The problem that most gamblers have is that they don't want to accept their loss, but they fail to understand that gambling is both losses and profits. Of which, you will even lose more than winning. When you don't want to see yourself as a loser in gambling, it means that you are ready to lose more, because wether you like it or not the house hedge always win.
The facts that must be realized are the dealers always win, this might not be realized when emotions are closing our minds in gambling so that they can be impulsive in gambling that bring more defeat, and you are right that accepting defeat is an attitude that needs to be in Every gambler is because it is a very important capital if he is not lucky so he can stop himself when he loses and evaluates everything that has made him fail in the previous gambling, I will just emphasize I say that the attitude of accepting is an important part that must be in every gambler .

So that's it, the dealer always wins, that is a fact that cannot be excluded, but I am very sure that it is really very difficult for a gambler to remember this fact when they are controlled by their emotions and that is what makes it difficult for them to stop. and end up losing a lot of money instead of breaking even.
Rationally, the ability to accept the fact of losing is a mentality that a gambler must have because usually various impulsive actions always start from that situation, meaning it always starts from a situation when a gambler experiences defeat and he does not accept the situation. and on the other hand, this is the reason why we are often reminded and advised to only gamble with small amounts or amounts that will not make you disappointed when in the end you actually lose because you are unlucky, in my opinion there is nothing safer than being gambler who responsible.

Of course the dealer always wins because gambling is designed like that, although there will definitely be winners but in reality the defeat will be greater and the percentage of each gambler unknowingly experiences more defeats than wins. And accepting defeat in gambling is an attitude that must be instilled in gamblers and when experiencing defeat must accept it sincerely because it is a risk that must be faced and must be used as a lesson and make defeat an inspiring experience so that similar incidents do not happen again when playing again and become better and improve skills and play more carefully especially in controlling yourself.

And if you can't accept defeat then you will only have the potential to play without control because the attitude of not accepting defeat causes you to change your way of thinking in playing just to take revenge which will only make you lose more because the attitude of not accepting becomes playing emotionally.

There is a natural urge to get back into the game and we keep on gambling even after losing. I don't blame the addiction for getting back into the game or encouraging ourselves to lose more money. I consider this tendency to be a part of entertainment that can provide mental peace. Feeling passionate about the teams while betting makes us more excited and has fun while celebrating each win. Although there is a risk of losing our deposit excessive emotion towards the team makes it much harder for us to miss out on betting opportunities. Sometimes emotion can tempt gamblers to lose more money, but if it is mixed with a lot of entertainment it can affect you positively.

This is something I believe that happens to almost all gamblers/sports bettors, this is not addiction at all, taking a break and later returning back to gamble is not or does not mean the person is addicted to gambling, infact, the ability to even take a break successfully for several days or weeks or even months without placing any bet shows that the person is not addicted, because for an addicted gamblers, this is absolutely impossible to do.

An addicted gambler may decide to take a break from gambling for maybe one week or one month, but he or she will only end up taking a break for just the very few hours that is remaining for the next day to come, and as soon as he or she is up the next day, he or she is back to gambling, this is how entangling gambling addiction can be.

That's still cool. You are taking your rest and maybe thinking about your next bet, I don't think that's a gambling addiction. It means you are fine without gambling for a day or two and actually in your case you rest for weeks or months and then that's when you will feel the impulse to do it again. This is actually a good responsible gambler, in my own opinion, because you can live a day without it.
Gambling addicts that I know don't even want to be separated from their phones and they even have a power bank always ready to keep on gambling using their phones. Plus, their eyes are just glued to that and they don't even talk with other people anymore.

Losses are natural when we gamble.

You don't expect that you'll never lose. We've been there and we are aware of it so, whether we like it or not. The losses are essentials and nature of gambling and we only have to do what's right.

And when dealing with it, everyone has ways of how we'll minimize the emotional drawback to us.

Yea I agree to this, in gambling losing is inevitable, no matter how smart some gamblers think they are, they must lose, as a gamblers we should accept this facts so that we will have peace and know how to follow our gambling activities with the mindset of seeing losing as an occurrence that we cant control, am one of those people that believe that a good gambler understands that in gambling two things are definitely bound to happen is either a gambler lose or he or she wins but what gamblers should always have in their mind is that there's no way a gambler will win more than he loses, I think this is impossible and I believe that why most people are not in peace when they lose is because of the amount they use in gambling that failed to come in their favour, itsy no longer a new statement that a gambler should gamble with what he or she can bear if any ugly even takes place and I think any gambler that abide by this rules will definitely have nothing to worry about at all time.

But I myself do suggest hiding it, even if you have a good relationship with your family or partner, then when you experience a big defeat it is better to hide it, although telling other people might find a solution but believe that the situation that will occur will not be smooth.
I am of the opinion that telling others first to take the ugly feedback they will give, keep it aside, and make good use of the advice and help they will offer is better than being talk-shamed by your loved ones and then dying in silence with what you are not disclosing to them.

I don't know about others, but sharing frees your mind a little bit, and from there you can get the solution to how to tackle that gambling habit that brought you down to that situation, either a big loss or being addicted.
