Topic: 5 Things to do After a Huge Loss in Gambling. - page 18. (Read 4021 times)

Never gamble again. If you do, you will experience another huge loss again. And the cycle will continue.

However, losses are sometimes inevitable especially if you keep chasing your luck. And that’s okay to lose, as long as it’s bearable. But if we are losing a massive amount already, that needs a serious decision making. It’s either you gamble again and recover your previous losses, which is still has no assurance, or you decide to stop gambling  temporarily or for good and shift your interest into other side hustles that will surely give you real compensation.

Accept the reality that gambling is not the solution to your financial problem. Simple and straightforward and yet many players are hoping that one day, it will give them the riches to get out of their financial burden.

These topics are just beating on a dad horse, everyone is here to throw their two or four lines of "advice" perfectly knowing that there is no way someone else will actually read them or take that piece of advice and use it in his way of dealing with a loss!

Someone who disobeys or fails is usually carried away by the atmosphere of the game or because they have difficulty controlling it. Usually these people want to continue playing, want to try their luck again or catch up on the losses they experienced, in my opinion this will create new problems or financial burdens for them. It's true that what you said is a simple thing. If you experience defeat, you should stop or take a short break from gambling. This will give you time to reflect and recover from the loss. Don't be too pressured to play again, what you have planned for your gambling expenses and never exceed your initial budget.

Your advise on things to do to excape huge losses in gambling are right, but all necessary action is determined by the Gambler. If the gambler pays a deaf ear to all signs or body language to excape this huge loses , then it's up to him. The most simplest trick is to walk away when you notice you no longer win but loses more. With this tactics you are good to go. I love the rules you provide to avoid huge losses but the fat still remain that only few will follow the rules and many will fail due to disobedient.

I get the sentiment but at the same time, it does create good discussions sometimes. These aren’t exactly common knowledge especially to beginners. It might come as common sense for us that has been in the gambling world and this forum for quite a while but it may not true for everyone.

There are people who, when they are gambling, lose control of their finances and everything gets worse when they are gambling with money they have borrowed. When these people lose everything, they start to panic and think about committing suicide and in many cases, people who are in these types of situations end up committing suicide. I say this because I have seen many cases that have happened here in my country recently. That is why my advice is: always gamble with money that you can afford to lose. Because when you gamble with money that you cannot afford to lose, people can hardly sleep well, they think about committing suicide and even if someone advises them to look for other things to have fun, they will not forget the debt that they must pay and it is unlikely that other people will give them money to pay their debts.

Sometimes we learn from our mistakes and that's what happened to me, I lost and I keep remembering it and talking about it, the more I keep talking about it, that's how frustrated I get and thought I would do better next time and when I go back next time, it's kind of a revengeful play which doesn't end well.

If you keep talking about your loss, you will eventually become frustrated. Other people will likely want to gamble more after losing because they believe they will regain what they lost recently. It happened to me before where I thought I was lucky and wanted to regain all of my losses, but in the end I lost them all.

It's a part of greediness because I am not addicted to gambling. I only gamble occasionally with my friends because it is too boring to gamble alone, but gambling with friends, even if you lose, brings happiness. Gambling is something I do for fun because the happiness it brings is different from playing a mobile game, which only causes frustration and addiction based on what happens to my son.
When the game ends, I always accept that I lost, but I can do it again if we seek happiness while drinking, and if we lose again, we simply stop.

1. Accept the loss: Do not try to suppress the feelings; do not lie to yourself.

Accepting the losses and forget is something that we must do and never return for playing gambling for a while. But for most people, they will not stop from playing gambling instead will keep playing gambling because they think that they can win in the next days. Well, that is okay because that will depends on their decision and they must accept whatever that may happen to them. People tend difficult to stop gambling when they already losses but they will think to keep playing gambling and recover their losses.

That can make them lose more and more money especially if they lose control over themselves. They can face another problem if they keep playing gambling because they don't know if that can makes their lives ruins.

We all know how it feels to lose money in gambling. It is one of the worst feelings we encounter, which makes us stressed and can lead to feelings of self-guilt. But sometimes we overstretch ourselves and gamble beyond our means. I have seen people even take loans to gamble and get sucked into an endless loop of stress, anxiety, and isolation.
If you have just encountered a big loss which is making you sick to the stomach, do not worry. Here are five things you can do to find peace and divert your energy to some inspiring things:

1. Accept the loss: Do not try to suppress the feelings; do not lie to yourself. You have made a mistake by gambling beyond your means, now accept it. We all make mistakes in our life. Most importantly, express the feelings: Weep if you want to weep, shout in a closed room if you want to shout, just do not harm yourself or others in the process, as it will only make things worse. Expressing your emotions is the first step towards getting out of this situation, and believe me, things are only going to get better from here. If you have expressed yourself, you have already made great progress.
Suppressing emotions will cause serious trouble to your psyche, which can lead to depression and delusions. If you do not accept your loss and mistake, you will only strengthen your unconscious to again take higher risks. In case you are wondering why your mind is still thinking of arranging more money somehow (taking loans/selling stuff, stealing, etc.), it is because of an innate human tendency of loss aversion.

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. There is no shame in taking help in these matters; instead, it is a sign of great courage to honestly tell someone how you are feeling.

3. Socialize more, go out, play outdoor games, go on a hike with friends for a few days: You need an immediate shift of your focus from gambling, and going out, playing games, etc., are good options to do that. It will also shorten your screen time, which must be zero for at least 2-3 days.

4. Take professional help: There are many government as well as non-government organizations who can help you a lot if you are still panicking and nothing is working for you. Especially if, even after a few days, your sleeping and eating patterns are not normalizing. They will help you cope with anxiety and pursue some positive change in your life.

5. This last advice is a bit philosophical. Your existence in itself is a miracle, and on top of it, you as a living, conscious human being have survived against odds much higher than any lottery. Therefore, you are a winner already in life, no matter what these are—petty things (money lost in some game)—and you surely have the capacity to overcome this. Even if you do not believe in yourself right now, your existence is the undeniable proof of your potential.
