Topic: 5 Things to do After a Huge Loss in Gambling. - page 12. (Read 4437 times)

Bettors who had just lost really big should first calm down and quit gambling at that time, there is no need to try again, or else, that huge loss could be the beginning of his losses and devastation. For me, gambling is not by force, such should at least take enough breath to ponder on the mistake (personal or psychological) and whether he is adequate to bet again or just avoid betting entirely. The financial capacity is another consideration here, it's not worth it if gambling ruins the person altogether.

Tell them to use small amount in gambling they won't listen, they want to make a lot of money by depending on luck, how easy can this get lol? Hell no it can't be me because I don't have a room for treating bad and negative mentality.

You will be all well and healthy if you use small money to gamble always, no diseases like addiction and mental health issues will come after you, but my people are full of greed, they want the best results from the impossible ways, I don't blame them.

Be contented, have a job going, use smaller percentage of the money and use to gamble, don't chase losses when you lose, come back some other time, do this all the time and no matter what happens it won't affect your life as a man, your job still pays and you have your family still, be responsible.

Yes, that is why it is better if we gamble using small amount to prevent the increases of our emotion. When we become emotion, we may forget to our limitation and at that time, we can use more money to recover our losses. Losing big money in gambling must be avoid so we can also prevent the bad thing that can happen to us.

Stopping for playing gambling after huge loss will be necessary as that can make us realize that we already used too much money. With stop gambling, we can check our financial and leave the casino is the best advice to us.

Nothing wrong with taking therapy but that will work if addicted person to gambling accept and starts the process. With a help from his families, he will realize that he will not alone solving his gambling addiction. That can make him know that he can cure his addiction and have a second chance for his families.

I think it is about time to boost some self-ego (There are so many quotes in this post that is why I just bolded my reply so that if someone wants easy navigation)










Thanks a lot to all of you for praising my efforts. Words of appreciation from wise and reputed members like you all mean a lot to me.


As one of the therapists (perhaps the leading one ), I can assure you there is nothing wrong with taking therapy. Anyone can get triggered by anything (like the nature of posts posted here).
On a serious note, I do think these types of discussions enable you to understand yourself more which eventually leads to making better decisions.


Excellent add-on.

This just shows your prejudiced mental attitude toward third-world nations, for your kind information, 'I am a priest from India' .

If you lose small amount then the chance that you can still control your emotion is very possible unlike if you using huge amount which most of the time carried your emotions, when you lose you get aggreviated and you wanted to recover quickly, meaning that you'll add more money and probably the outcome still against you.

Better to stop and make sure to analyze, re-assess if possible and take some air chill yourself that helps to refresh your intention and avoid losing more.

Dont wait for things to become messy for you to stop doing or playing gambling and just like on what most comments on here telling that we gamblers do really simply stop on the time that we cant play anymore due on having no financial capacity on doing so. You could be able to possibly see some addicted gamblers do commit out some crime or any illegal doings just to make their addiction to be fed up.

When playing gambling then acceptance would really be the key for you not to be devastated with gambling, because if you are really that becoming too impulsive and cant be able to control yourself on playing more then you are the ones who are really that trying out to destroy yourself in terms of financial aspect on which you will definitely be having that huge regret at the moment that you do find yourself that experiencing hard conditions because of lacking money. Just like on what all people been saying that people do learn on the moment that they will be experiencing it out but actually we can be able to stop if we really wanted to.

If you do tolerate out such condition then you are really that bound on putting yourself on a disaster. Loses are common in gambling and it will really be that on huge odds on attaining it because house do always win at the end and trying to cope up on being a winner will really just that make things even more worst. If you cant be able to control your emotions or mindset towards playing gambling then better skip and avoid it out as much as possible. If you can afford to lose those amounts of money then go ahead and continue but bare in mind that unlimited funds is impossible

As it should be but people do really fail on doing so because on the moment that they have lost too much then the primary thing that comes up into your mind is on how to get those loses back
or trying out to break even. On the time or moment that you do have this kind of approach on things then it will really be that resulting into desperation.

People will never ever learn not until on the time that they will really be experiencing those tough conditions on which they dont have any more money that they can make use on their gambling activity.
This is really just that on the sad reality on which people cant be able to stop themselves at the moment that they are slowly getting addicted with gambling.
Stopping will really only happen if they do literally have no money to spend on.

Accept your loss, learn from it so you wouldn't do the same mistake and move on.
Learn to manage your funds and only gamble what you could afford.

Gotta agree with OgNasty on this one, I especially like 2-4 and brownie points (pun intended) for number 1 which for the record it should have been properly listed as #2 hehe. Anyhow, enough potty talk! I feel like we're talking to toddlers here. Don't gamble all of your money little Jimmy! You need it for someday when you're a big kid lmfao.

I agree with you because that is the right thing that we must do when gambling. We can not use a big amount to bet because that can lead us to get more losses at once. We must prevent that losses become big by always use small bet to gambling so when we see the money is not too much, we can decide to stop gambling and leave the casino. In that time, we must reduce the intention because of losing for some time so take a break will be better than keep playing gambling. After huge losses, someone must realize that he don't have luck and he must get out from the games before everything is change. That is for prevention from the big losses that can comes to him.

Coming to terms with reality that the money is gone and never coming back is the best way to deal with losses because if you don't accept it there's a very high chance that you might try to chase what you have lost. Sometimes I ask myself how can someone chose to recover his losses from gambling by gambling more it's actually an insane thing to do if you ask me. Whatever is gone cannot be replaced even though there's a slim chance of recovering if you take the risk but the risk is not worth taking, it's better to forget about it and move on.

I agree with you mate, because if you still have some funds in your gambling account, you will definitely be tempted to chase your losses and before you know it, you will lose it all. This is why there's no need of depositing large amount of funds into your casino account for any reason to avoid such actions. What I do is that, I have a gamble budget that I put into my casino account after I get paid for the week and the moment I exhaust the funds, I don't refill it until the next week when I get paid. So that even if I gamble it all in a session, my gambling activities is over for that week.

An advice for those who, for some reason, keep or have different cryptocurrency on gambling platform. I think that when person gambles, he does it with one currency, probably even switch currency display to $ to have a better understanding how much he is betting. So I would advice to withdraw all the rest crypto after a huge loss, to prevent attempt to win back your loss. Better to lose on transaction fee, then to lose everything.

It seems to me that the solution should be sought in the question itself, if the OP asks what to do if a huge loss occurs, then the obvious answer would be to exclude the possibility of a huge loss.

The bet amount should be small, or such that the loss does not make you feel bad. If you allow for such a thing that after a loss you will need some time to recover, then this is very bad, because the nervous system suffers a lot of damage, and this will have a bad effect not only on your finances, but also on your health, maybe not immediately but over time.

Taking a break will not easy for those who often playing gambling because they want to recover their losses and wins their money back. But they must keep trying to take a break for a while to reduces our emotion especially if we already lose too much money.

That is why we must have allocation for playing gambling and stick to our rules while we don't use all of that allocation money just to playing gambling for that day. We must remember that it is enough to playing gambling with that money and it is better if we can keep some money in our account that we can use to playing gambling in the other days.

Of course that is the main thing that a gambler should know in the sense that we must know and understand that gambling is not only about the chance of winning but also about the risk of losing money or it can be said that gambling is about two things, namely winning and losing, where there is no way or strategy that can control the results at the end of the game except luck, meaning that if for example there is a gambler who is angry or emotional when experiencing defeat, it means that they are a loser who comes only to win but is not ready for the risk of defeat which will basically always be part of the end of the game. On the other hand, what you said is true that actually because of the inability to accept defeat, a person loses mood or emotion and gets caught up in various impulsive and aggressive actions, so that means the excitement of gambling will most likely only be felt when you gamble without making victory a priority.

It’s either you stop gambling for a while and shift your interest into something much more productive than  gambling, or you just accept the fact that when you’re into gambling, you will win much or lose a lot. Once you will realize that, the earlier the better. So that you won’t rush into gambling expecting to make a big win, but will only gamble in times you have an extra amount of cash and you need gambling to chill and unwind.

I think recommendation number 2 is something that we should be careful about. Sometimes when we tell others about our weaknesses we come across people who use them as a weapon against us. In such a situation, you will have a bigger bad experience than the bad experience you had in gambling over and over again. I would say don't make sincere confessions to everyone before you have the year of experience of knowing bad people...

Everyone has a strategy that works for them in gambling, but that does not always guarantee our winnings; instead, it can only increase our chance of winning and let our luck do the rest. 
 
It's always advisable for people to gamble responsibly, as it will put them on the track of wagering with what they can afford, effective bankroll management, not making some reckless decisions on their bets, and not allowing their emotions to control them, which is one thing that makes and leads a lot of people to spend more than they budgeted. Once you lose control of yourself and gamble with emotions, the end result is always negative.

You're right. It is better to take a break when we feel it is getting harder for us. If we chase the losses, it is even the way to lose more money. Spend more money will never increase the chance to win in gambling. It is because win in gambling is mostly based on luck. Even if we force ourselves to gamble with more money, it won't work if we don't have luck. So it will just be in vain!

Yep, we must be disciplined to limit our funds (also the time). If we use the money that we afford to lose, we always can enjoy the games. But if we can't control ourselves and end up with huge losses, there is no way that we can enjoy the games. So, it is very crucial to be disciplined and knows the limitations in gambling. This is also the way to keep gambling in a healthy way.
