When we lose a big money, our reaction will almost the same that we can not accept the lose but we don't realize that is because of our mistake. We forget about the limitation that we already set in the beginning and because of that losses, we want to recover the losses even we can use more money. But that will not work as we want because this is gambling which is not gives you a chance to win more often.

Yes, we must make ourselves busy so we can forget our gambling activity and distract our minds to thinks about the gambling. When we can take a break from gambling for some days, that can refresh our minds and can think clear about what next that we can do.

Win and lose will come and go many times so that is why we must be wise treat gambling and not makes us lose too much money. When we lose in the previous rounds, we don't have to continue gambling because that can make our intention and emotional high and make us forget that gambling is just for having fun. When you lose your money in gambling and can stop gambling, you will have a chance to take a deep breath so that can refresh your minds to think what is happen to you. You should not let the losses becomes big by stopping gambling immediately.

Move on from gambling is a good decision for those who already lose their money so they will not think about recover their money and save the rest of their money. When you lose, you will realize that it is time to stop gambling and leave the casino and not thinks about keep playing gambling. We should accept whatever we gets from gambling so we can know when we can stop gambling and we can consider that our time to playing gambling is end. Maybe we are disappointed with the result but that is the outcome that we can get from gambling.

it depends on how much you have lost if not, there is no point trying to share your losses with people even if they are your close acquaintance. the fact is that if you have lost there's no point making a big issue out of it, people are good at spreading news across others more than the reach you would normally want it to get to and that is the reason why it will still be best that you try and keep your looses and victory to yourself. its because you have made it look like if you don't tell someone about your gambling journey that you are doing yourself a disadvantage that's why its as though the solution to coming out of loss is letting people know that you have lost a particular amount which will be a way of attracting undue sympathy.

staying away from gambling for a while is a good way to start if the amount you have lost is huge though its never advisable that you go on to gambling with an amount you are sure you cant afford to loose but if for a reason you go on to doing that, the best therapy is to possibly chill out with friends and talk on other issue that is satisfying enough to take out any form of reminder regarding that loss off your mind.

If i have to lose  huge again then I will completely leave the gambling world and will never come again because i use to lose huge once losing all my end year bonus and my 3 months salary from gambling and now?
i kept playing with small amount and never to have more again .

Losing money is very painful, but it will be better and easier to accept when using money that has been prepared to be lost than using money that is actually savings or to meet other needs.
It just about attitude and mindset, responsible person can definitely manage their own finances well and they will be able to determine and sort out in every use including gambling capital.

A rich person does not have much reaction when he loses in gambling, but a poor gambler is very aggressive in winning. He cannot accept his loss. Due to which the chances of his loss increase. Poor gamblers are so involved in gambling that they cannot accept gambling losses. Being ultimately dependent on gambling, they are able to see the opposite of their expectations. Gambling is hidden almost everywhere because gambling is not considered a positive thing, which is why everyone tries to gamble secretly. Many of those who gamble openly and lose often face negative comments from others. It would be best if gambling was accepted as normal and not considered a big deal.

Here’s the thing, we all hate losing, right? But gambling is called entertainment for a reason. The truth is most of the time, gamblers end up on the losing side. It’s just how it goes. No matter how hard we try, the house usually wins. But if we’re having fun and enjoying the thrill while gambling, then honestly, that’s already a win in itself.

That makes sense too, but I don't think it's much different when we have to accept or forget it because it has the same purpose, which is not to think about the defeat that has occurred because it is an early disease that can make everything fall apart when players think about the defeat that has occurred. Someone who can accept the reality that occurs with defeat over time will definitely forget it and you yourself who immediately took the option to forget it was the right action, I appreciate that.

Crazy, losing the amount you mentioned is not a little my friend, but seriously can you forget it in just five minutes?
If that happened to me, maybe I wouldn't be able to forget it quickly like that because the amount lost was very large for me. I myself can forget the defeat I experienced but it's not that fast, it takes some time to forget it so I play with only as much as I can to just lose it.

No one enjoys losing money. No matter the amount, we’d always rather win and earn instead of keep losing. However, it may soften the blow if your money is not the money you’re going to use to pay the bills. Now, that can surely hurt more. Betting inly your extras will allow you to get disappointed a bit and then move on. Harder to move on when you’ve lost all of your money in betting and now you don’t know where to get money from.

If you only bet what you can afford to lose, I think there's no problem with that. But still, you should be cautious everytime you gamble and don't cross your betting limits. Gambling is a series of wins or losses, but most likely losses are more often than wins. That's exactly the reason why you should gamble only at your extra money so that if you lose them all, it will never affect your finances after all.

The biggest challenge is to control yourself when there is a big loss. If there is a big loss there is nothing to be done and I don't think there will be any benefit in telling others about the loss. However, if there is a big loss, borrowing money or taking a loan to recover that loss and then betting should never be done because in that case the mentality may not be right and if such a decision is made after the loss, there is a high probability of loss in that case. However, if there is a big loss, it is better to take the advice of those who are experts because they will definitely give positive advice on what to do at this moment. If there is a big loss, you must have a good understanding with your life partner because at that moment only your wife and relatives can console you.

You see this point where you are advising that we should tell someone that we lost money to gambling, is not too comfortable with me. What's the point of telling someone you lost money to gambling. What will the person say to you that will make the money come back absolutely nothing. Before you signed up to gamble you already knew that losses are part of it, so when I lose a bet I won't even want anyone to know that I lost such an amount to gambling. Because once one ear hear about it, just know that everyone in the neighborhood is likely to know about it. That's why it's best to keep to yourself and just move on.

This is because each of them has set a different goal for themselves. If you're playing to have fun and a little adrenaline, then losing shouldn't upset you. But if you put the last money on the line, wanting to double it, then the loss in this case will be fatal.

Be realistic enough with what you say that there will be no novice gambler who bothers to find a way to overcome a big loss because their psychology is already quite messed up with the loss. They will probably just reflect on their defeat, and they won't read long enough threads or articles.

People here are only meant to help and say what they can say, but in reality those who fail from gambling won't read much of the advice.

The steps given by OP are very appropriate to relieve stress or depression, but in my opinion they are too complicated. I try to take it from my personal experience, when I experienced a big loss in gambling, losing money that I was not ready to lose. It really stressed me out, but the choice to gamble again was not a wise move. In that situation, what I did was stop visiting gambling places for a certain period of time, depending on how long I could control my emotions and myself. And to relieve the stress I experienced after losing big, visiting tourist attractions and enjoying the beauty of nature is what I did, because sometimes we also need to pamper our eyes to see something beautiful, not just staring at a computer screen that makes our eyes sore.

Yes, the main point is not to gamble again when you have lost big, because this will only result in the losses you experience increasing. And we must know and realize that there are things that are more fun than gambling.

That's correct, it's a vicious cycle, but losses are indeed inevitable. Who hasn't lost money in gambling? It happens to all of us, the most important is how we deal with loss. I don't recall losing an extravagant amount, mostly because I'm careful with the my bets, I don't bet more than I'm comfortable losing. Just because I can afford losing $200 doesn't mean I should go overboard and blow my money away, things easily can get out hand.

After losing a huge sum of money gambling, the person has to rethink what he is doing with his life and what he expects from it. The after loss is a dramatic moment for everyone, because it looks like the person has just screwed everything in a way there are no ways to fix it anymore. It's like a total failure and game over feeling. That is why support from family and friends is important on this situation, so they can bring the attention from the individual to another matters.

At some point, once he focus his thoughts and attention to another subjects, he will start building new plans and goals to be achieved. And this time, better that he is completely aware of the potential consequences of risking his hard earned money on gambling games.

We all know the reality, but I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and write about the level of impossibilities or, atleast attest falsely that making a life outta gambling doesn't happen at all -- it doesn't just happen frequently.
Bottom line is, no one knows who's gonna be lucky enough to win a huge, life changing amount; I may be into these games for a long time, sacrificing alot but not getting the due returns like I ought to, but someone comes from the corner, out of nowhere, barely with any skills or knowledge of the game and Boommmmm!!!! I mean, this ain't even some make-up stories. It happened before my eyes and I've been traumatized since then.
"beating on a dead horse for real" cause who TF reads through these bunch of garbage post? Some of which are supposed to be flagged for being veered outta topic? I just feel like some of the questions being asked in here aren't necessary in most cases... Google has an answer for about 85% of garbage questions.

Yes, most likely that is the main problem why they always find it difficult to stop in any situation, such as when they win they continue because of greed and overconfidence and when they lose they continue to be driven by the inability to accept the losses they experience along with being driven by curiosity in their minds regarding what results will happen when they continue.

Of course there is no better action to take after you experience defeat than to stop and rest, understand that even if you continue it does not mean victory will come, because the possibility of defeat will always be part of the game every time you gamble, so it is better for us to prioritize various actions that lead to prevention such as stopping and continuing tomorrow.

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.

Common, let's be real!
Do you honestly believe that a single newbie will come to the forum looking for advice on what to do after a huge loss and will bother with things that can be found just by typing the whole phase into google? Or that any of the advice in this already huge topic are actually of any help?
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!
