A gambler can definitely break down after a big loss in gambling, so he should share the loss with his family members to comfort him. Moreover, family members must be able to provide adequate support to a mentally disordered gambler on how to easily stop gambling. Moreover, the issue of loss must be shared with friends because only friends can easily comfort him emotionally. Friends can take him on long drives and engage him in various recreational activities to stop him from gambling temporarily or permanently.

Depression or disappointment is definitely something that someone experiences when they lose in gambling, but actually it also depends on whether they gamble with the aim of making money or not, because usually when the aim is for entertainment it will be very easy for them to be responsible. On the other hand, telling other people about the problems we experience can be one solution to calm the mind while asking for help, but when we talk about gambling then according to that it depends on their environment, in the sense that if for example they are in an anti-gambling environment and also their family really condemns gambling then it is impossible for a gambler to dare to tell his family about his defeat. In this situation there may be only one option that is still possible to choose, namely telling a friend, because usually even though the environment is anti-gambling, usually everyone always has a true friend to tell various positive and negative things.

That's yours OP, and here is mine.

1. Keeping losses a secret is what makes the pain even more greater, find someone who you trust and tell them.

2. Avoid chasing what you have lost no matter how big the amount is, when you lost the money it is gone, forget it and move on.

3. Take some time off, go out with friends and clear your mind, and come back home to movies or video games.

4. When you healed, make sure you learn the true meaning of gambling, it is not a guaranteed way to make money, why not treat it as such? This will make you to never be reckless again.

5. Come up with a amount, and stay on that amount forever, if it is $1 so be it, always risk this $1 on gambling and make sure you don't do it everyday.

I completely agree with your conclusions and main thoughts. Everything is written to the point and to the point. 1. It is with lies that problematic addiction begins. You can't hide losses and then start thinking that all the money will come back. 2. Hope that everything will be fine. I think you can draw a parallel with traders who do not use stop loss. You need to be able to accept losses. And of course, you always need to draw conclusions that will help you avoid mistakes in the future.

I agree with the points here, both what Z390 and you are said, all for safety and security and accountability that is much better after making a big defeat in gambling.

But I need to withdraw one point that is difficult to do is, being able to change the thoughts and characteristics of addiction, usually the person who committed their big defeat is a gambler who is an acute addicted is very difficult to cure, unless he can not gamble anymore, and if it is turned off Also to be able to have thoughts and concepts that you mentioned requires quite a long time.

For points one and two, that is something I always do, first, whether the result is win or lose, I still tell my friend, there is no clear purpose but I do it just to share the story. And with the second, we should be able to understand that the money we bet is lost in gambling, that is something that must be accepted well because if it cannot be accepted well, the consequences will be even worse. In addition, there are many things that can and must be done when experiencing defeat in gambling, but the point is that we ourselves must be able to be self-aware not to insist on forcing ourselves to continue gambling to pursue victory in gambling.

2. Tell someone: You have to have at least one person in your life (the more the better) to whom you can share your feelings and let them know about your situation. It will help a lot because if you continue to live in isolation with that feeling, trust me, you will not be capable of taking care of yourself.
Let me emphasise more on this because the aspect of telling someone is very crucial in regarding gambling matters, because they can either break you or make you.first thing to do after having such huge loss it to entirely take a long break then after which limit your gambling habits, so having someone in your life don't really matter except it's someone that advises you to avoid such gambling activities.
Telling that someone is not just some random person you meet in the street; it should be someone whom you have already known for a long and their capacity of handling such kind of information if it's the type that will give you good advice or if it's those that will blame and make you feel bad about yourself.

No doubt some people are really not worth telling about our gambling story. Some people can't take that break on their own unless they have someone on their side to always be pushing them and reminding them of the importance of taking that break from the game, which is why I also consider the telling someone a tip from the OP useful.

Honestly we have individual different way of tolerance and how we react to things, there are those that can absorb certain shook as if nothing happens without letting anyone know about it while some others feel more better when they have some one to convide in and it makes regain strength as soon as possible, they feel relieved from their trauma the more they have it being to talk to someone else but yeah not any one worth talking to that is to say it is important we have some we talk to generally in life in times of distress where and when necessary.

I think accepting the loss and accepting that the cause was their own is the first step. The second step would be to focus on things that can help them get back to a normal life again and attempt to earn that money back. Most of the times the losses are gone are will not come back even if they put in more work, in which case just accept it and remind yourself what good things you could have done with that lost money instead.

A huge loss can be fatal, it is thus important to identify the high risk signs and prevent it.

Accepting the loss is exactly the first and the most important thing because most negative effects that comes from gambling is due to the fact that people cant accept the loss then they do something beyond their limit (financially and emotionally). When we can accept the loss and forget about it, it will lead us into positive side so we wont think too much about the loss. Most people who cant accept usually because they lost more than what they cant afford to lose and they expected too much that they will win by spending more than what they can afford to lose. So before gambling, we should also set how much to risk in order to make it easier to accept when we lose our initial bankroll.
Acceptance is the key but people wont really be able to realize on how important on having that kind of easy acceptance on things specially on gambling. Losing doesnt give out that kind of good feeling and thats why acceptance is really indeed the key for you to be able to easily move on at the time that you do experience loses. If you are a type of person whose not really that too emotional or impulsive about loses then these things wont really be an issue but on the time or moment that you do find yourself having some problems in related to gambling and in connection about your mindset and emotion then better stop midway.
People do usually having that kind of approach towards gambling on where they do really that believe that they can be able to make themselves as winners but as we do all know about gambling that we do all lose at the end.

Live with peace and enjoy life!

1. Accept the loss:

2. Tell someone:

3. Socialize more, go out, play outdoor games, go on a hike with friends for a few days:

4. Take professional help:

5. This last advice is a bit philosophical.

Those who are professional gamblers basically adhere to the above five points very seriously, especially if they face a big loss, then of course they take the help of a professional and if they have relatives, they share this big loss with them. If a professional gambler ever breaks down mentally, he must have the support of good physiological or close friends. Only close relatives can give good comforting advice during this bad experience.
In my case, if I have to deal with such a bad experience, I definitely take the advice of my family members and I try to control myself as much as I can.

Even those amateurs in gambling but are still capable to control their emotions, once they incurred a huge loss, they will surely stop betting and take a break for quite some time. They will resort into some productive hobbies and get socialize with others, while trying to forget the loss from gambling. Eventually, once they are good to go again, they will study on the interesting games offered in gambling so they can prepare to bet and risk their funds again.

Take a break.
This is very important. He should even quit gambling for many months or for like a year. He should start to gamble again, but with little amount of money. The money should not be more than 1% of his weekly income. If he sees himself still addicted, he should stop gambling again. This was how I overcame gambling addiction. He should not see gambling as a means of making money will help in stoping gambling addiction.

For you to say that you overcame this toxic addiction is quite encouraging because a lot of people think it's impossible, I guess this isn't the only thing you did to come out of this habit, maybe you could share more tips. A lot of gamblers don't realize how important taking a break is, if you are having losing streaks the best solution is to avoid the game for a long time, but many still try to push their luck hoping to recover or win a huge amount of money, like you said seeing it as a source of income might be a problem. Statistically no one has successfully made gambling a source of income, many people are being deceived on the internet, these punters claiming to be in profit are losing millions so don't be fooled, it's a losing game.

On those you've mentioned, that's really a serious advice for all gamblers who about to loss and who's still in the process of overcoming huge losses. Much better to have a reset for every shortcomings that has been raging over time, because it's not about mental stress is the challenges here but emotional battles is merely developed as progress tend to eradicate.
So, lets take a long vacation or free yourself from the crowded life living in a digital and virtual world of gambling and I believed that's an efficient and effective ways to deal with it.
Stress will also be present in gambling, emotional swings will be very noticeable and in case of victory they will be replaced by positive emotions, but if there is a loss then everything will be much worse and if the loss is huge then it can affect the player for several days. Some players try to play again in this state to cover these feelings with euphoria from victory, but it is better to just take a break and rest from gambling.


This is way too difficult for those gamblers who still struggles to find peace of mind because they're eager enough to recover their losses but im the long run failures will happen. Taking breaks is indeed a big help, unfortunately other individuals couldn't cope up to this process and worst is they've become more addicted with bad habits of gambling problems. Our advice is the best key on this matter, that only depends on the person who follow these motivational encouragements.

All of stape you mentioned are great. By using these strategies, a gambling addict or a person who has lost a lot of money in gambling can come out of depression.  Telling others about their loss will bring peace of mind.  Again if they take the help of an expert then he can get good advice which will help him a lot to become normal. I already know these things and follow them.  Especially I share things with my friends. Which helps a lot to cure my depression

Gambling and emotions work very closely. People who gamble must know how to strongly hold on to their emotions else their possibility of losing are on the high side. Emotions can either help one to capitalize on the advantages tied to his gambles but emotions will also make you lose all of your fortune in the event you can't manage it properly.

Gambling addiction is one thing people must avoid at all cost because it negatively impact on the mental health of the gambler. We should all take gambling from the fun side and approach gambling based on recreation purposes instead of taking it as a means of income.
You are right because if we can not control our emotions, we may lose too much money as we don't think to stop gambling after we lose for some rounds. Increasing the emotion will only makes us forget that gambling is just a fun activity which is no need to be serious to prevents the big lose. But if somehow we lose big money, we must stop gambling immediately and not return to casino for some days to distract our minds from the wanting of recovering our losses.

Gambling addiction is something that people must avoid as that can ruins our lives easily. We will forget about anything important in our lives and only want to playing gambling for the most. We will not care if we lose or win because we only want to have fun in gambling. That is why if you lose money in gambling, you need to take a break and if necessary, you don't have to return to casino and doing other things.

Take a break. A break is like a detoxifier. And while on the break don't engage in any activity that can trigger one to engage even if it is "a little" in gambling. While on the break read a book, take that course, learn that skill, do something that is outdoorsy and involves a group of people. While on the break, volunteer in an organization that engages in public good. While on the break, start that business. There are so many things to do after a huge loss that can't even be summarized into just 5 points. But then thank you for bringing it up.

A break is indeed like a detoxifier and it's needed a lot of times especially when you have incurred a lot of losses. This is something that a lot of gamblers fail to do, instead of taking a break they decide to chase their losses instead and they end up losing more money in the process. There are times that you must find a way to distract your mind from gambling, because taking a break from this disastrous habit can be very challenging. You must learn to be disciplined and hardworking, channel that energy into something positive.

One of the mistake here is on the gambler some of them treating gambling as their source of income so they take this seriously and we know how does the impact of it on the people's emotion and active so if you think you are already addicted there's nothing wrong to seek help if you want to get outside of addiction.
There's nothing wrong accepting the fact you lose already alot of money so you can reset your life than circular in gambling.
Reason why gambling you afford to lose and not spend most of your money even the point you lend some money cause to increase the number of your debts

It’s indeed a very bad experience and every gambler who have walked through that road would know, experiencing a huge loss in gambling doesn’t make you an addict neither does it always mean the gambler in question is irresponsible, but it’s how the gambler behaves afterwards that shows whether or not the gambler is an addict because sometimes most responsible gamblers often find them in this situation but their ability to manage the situation maturely and responsibly is what distinguishes them from other irresponsible gamblers.

Gambling can make us lose too much money especially when we don't realize that and we can also get addicted to gambling. That happens to people who don't have strong self control and makes them chase the win. That is why people must have control in gambling so they will not see gambling as a source of income and they can stop gambling and know what they must do.

Gambling and emotions work very closely. People who gamble must know how to strongly hold on to their emotions else their possibility of losing are on the high side. Emotions can either help one to capitalize on the advantages tied to his gambles but emotions will also make you lose all of your fortune in the event you can't manage it properly.

Gambling addiction is one thing people must avoid at all cost because it negatively impact on the mental health of the gambler. We should all take gambling from the fun side and approach gambling based on recreation purposes instead of taking it as a means of income.



In terms of working on the safe side, treating gambling as source of fun is far better than treating it as source income, it's tough to win as we know in gambling without the influence of luck you'll end up losing your money, though you can control or limit the amount it's needed that you have that full control over your emotions.

If you can deal with handling pressures and you have that clear mindset keeping you from the safe side of limiting yourself and not to let your emotions dominates you, it's better quit and make a hard stop to prevent losing a lot.
