If you have just encountered a big loss which is making you sick to the stomach, do not worry.

Big loss? It means you are ready for digesting small losses? If so, I have better ideas than these 5. Yes, instead of going for gambling with big bankroll, just keep a small balance. All the problems will be solved. Huge loss is not something like losing one month salary or a week's reward from a signature campaign because we may start with such kind of money accidently and may lose all 100%. Huge loss is something like $5k or 10k. It means you can simply avoid if you are aware of the usual outcome of gambling.

If you are the kind of gambler who keeps on adding more funds after every loss, then you should accept such pain of losing big money at least once because until experiencing the real pain of losses, most gamblers ignore all the advices.

Here, prevention is better than discussing about what you could do afterwards.

I sometimes feel like this forum or at least this section is turning into some therapy group or advice group!
Seriously, why do we need all these topics about every single thing, what to do when you win, what to do when you lose, advantages of low bets, advantages of higher bets, don't gamble during the night, don't gamble during the day, don't drive and gamble and all of this!

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. We can always just avoid the thread. So far, it doesn’t seem like this whole section is full of just advices.

If it did, that would be when it’ll start to get concerning.

Maybe. Who knows? Maybe there are people who share the same opinion, maybe there are those that don’t. Like I said this can create some really productive conversations in the forum that generates activity.

2. Tell someone:

This is total bad idea. Instead i rather wallow in isolation that speak about my gambling problems to another person. People tend to make things more worst for you when you share your gambling problems with them. They might end up looking at you like an addicted gambler. Maybe later in the future that they aint your friend anymore, they will start speaking bad about you to other persons.

Of course the person describes here are the person you trust not random person that you are not close since no one will be interested to hear your story if don’t have good relationship with it.

In my case, I always tell my wife whenever I have a big loss since I’m always honest with her. I use money what I can afford to lose but sometimes I add some from my personal savings to spice up my game. Telling your problem to a person you trust will help you clear heavy feeling in your chest because you knew someone will understand and help you.

I want to believe that gambling is a personal activity and whatever happens while we gamble should be kept to ourselves, unless its consequences has gone beyond a certain level. In the aspect of telling a closed one what you feel after a huge loss to get over the sad emotion doesn't suit well to me. A closed friend might broke the trust by telling their other friends. How then do you think you will feel about this? Wont you feel embarrassed that everyone knows about your addiction or activity.
Your wide in this case understands your gambling habits more than anyone you would ever think of sharing it with. The both of you are one, she wont want to start spitting out what has been said in-house. In this case your wife is still you.

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.

Taking a break helps me, especially after a big loss. It's advisable to pause for a while - no one says you should quit gambling. Just take a break to calm down. Even before talking to a friend or seeking advice, take time to reflect.

Take a break from the game, then come back gradually. Since we agreed on responsible gambling, have a budget or gamble with extra money after important expenses.

Gambling's a win-or-lose situation. Prepare your mindset: you might lose. Don't let it get to you; you budgeted for it. Some weeks, you're just unlucky. Ensure you didn't gamble with money you couldn't afford.

When facing loss, take a break, be with yourself or trusted people. It helps.

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.

I assume you're a man, right?

People will laugh at you after you tell your story, they will say you're very stupid and make fun of you, not to mention some people are encouraging men to shut up because men are strong.

How she react after you tell that? most of my friends said if their wife know they're in big loss due to gambling, instead of listen and give a suggestion, they will force to completely quit gambling and getting mad. This mean, you're not yet solve your problem, but she have already give more problem to you.

Here I agree with @Stablexcoin, many people don't want to accept our bad personality/failure, that's why most people said "life is like a theater".

I think "Accept the loss" is the most important point on the list because it’s key to minimizing risks in gambling. Main reason many lose a lot in gambling is that they can’t accept a loss, they try to chase it, only to end up losing everything, sometimes even money that wasn’t meant for gambling in the first place.

This is the kind of discipline we need to develop. From the start, we should understand that gambling has only two outcomes: winning or losing. Knowing how to handle both is just as important as placing the bet itself.

To accept the loss and to stop chasing after the loss with thoughts of recovery is the best approach after the loss has been encountered and it is best for one to relax, take a stroll, go for a swim or partake in some other fun activities within the time frame inorder not to brood about the loss.

I do experience loss often times but I try to reduce my gambling bets once my the frequency of my loss is getting too high. Even changing to other games may not help because I believe gambling requires a calm emotional response, else whatever we do after being upset will always tend to zero profit and more losses.

You don't even need to lose to do 3 and 5. Maybe 4 as well but that's pretty subjective. Gamlbing is FOR fun. If you're not having fun with it (whether you're losing or winning), then do something else. There are a huge number of activities a person can do with their time, whether it be inside or outside their house. Absolutely no need to limit yourself to just, well, gambling. Might depend on your personality but again, no need to limit yourself. Could probably work if it was a competitive activity (or has some aspect of it), but pretty sure gambling has none. If you think it has one, you just think there's one lol.

When accepting the loss, I think this is where most gamblers often have a problem when they play casino gambling.

I’ve experienced it myself, you start gambling with a set amount in mind, but then a losing streak hits, and it’s hard to accept. So, you reload your bankroll, thinking you’ll recover those losses, but instead, it just leads to even more losses until you can’t deposit anymore.

It’s really our lack of emotional control that causes this.... Cry

The problem is if we’re already being unrealistic from the start then it’s almost guaranteed to spiral out of control.

Good steps to help one heal from a big loss. Personally, taking a break is the best of it all and at the same time, you should let go of your losses, because if you cannot let go of your losses, you might find it difficult to take a break. What I do after experiencing a big loss, I quit and don't gamble anymore or go close to where they're gambling so that I will not be tempted to gamble at that moment.

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.

I consider this a virtue: if you can face yourself, accept your losses, and be okay with them, then you are responsible person. its hard to take a huge loss; huge losses linger on for days or even months, and in some cases, a lifetime.
So if you're starting to gamble, learn the facts about gambling and be responsible to accept whatever the outcomes are because remembering and practicing that there is more TO life than gambling is considered a virtue.

When accepting the loss, I think this is where most gamblers often have a problem when they play casino gambling. Especially with the large amount of money they have lost because there are others who have lost, they will deposit another money in the gambling casino they are gambling at.

Therefore, they cannot avoid or control themselves from chasing their losses. So it is really important that we have control over ourselves and our emotions because, without it,
this is exactly what will happen to us as gamblers.

The first point is important then accept defeat as this is already part of gambling... So losing is very natural in gambling so if someone does not accept his defeat then he is gambling not for pleasure but for profit.

The most important thing is to rest...
Do not force to continue gambling, maybe you have experienced defeat so the solution is to rest, never chase any losses in gambling so your risk will increase if you do.

If I lose a large amount of gambling ... then I have to leave the house and go with friends for a short vacation.

1. Accept the loss

Acceptance is the key on which this is really that an inevitable thing when dealing up with gambling on which losing up money will really be that definitely be experienced.
Even lets say that you are lucky then there would really be those losing bets as well. Acceptance is something that you will really be needing because if you do find yourself
become that impulsive in playing then you will really be devastated by gambling.

Usually gamblers will really be not be able to accept their defeat or loses on which as long they do have the money that they could be able to spend on, then they would really be
doing it and this is something which is really that a typical cycle and really that makes this industry become that too profitable because with that kind of
very common gambler behavior.

Well, the first two tips are exclusively for women. Sobbing, hysterical and then telling everything, complaining about fate. I disagree with these 1 and 2. Moreover, I do not agree with advice 4, which means recognizing that the player needs help, which means he is sick. But it's not like that. It's just a loss. So I agree only with 3 and especially with 5, which is the key to how losses should be perceived even in a broader sense.

Good advice but every gambler must have their own way to vent when they lose a bet. Maybe from the 5 points only 1 or 2 can be done to recover. My two cent it depends on how much you lose in betting if the amount is large it will definitely take a long time to recover mentally but if the amount is only small going outside to get some fresh air for a while is enough.

Accepting the loss is a very important factor as a gambler. And if could be better then also forget what we had lost. Don't think that the gambling site or online casino should give it back to you because there is no way that would happen. You lose, it's gone, accept that.
It will get worse if our thoughts are "because we lose, something must be given back." No, that ain't true. Try any online casino and that won't happen.
I have been playing for months in this local online casino here in our country and I can say that the RTP was worse than the international online casinos. All they did is take, take, take, it's like the RTP was not even there or it was turned off most of the time.
You win, you exit. You lose, you exit. That's how a wise gambler will play the game. Just enjoy the ride and don't take anything seriously.

The most important thing in my opinion is point one, because, accepting defeat and that is the attitude that must be taken, because most people are not happy they lose and do not want to lose so they want to return the money they have lost, so he can lose more money because he is unable to accept that he lost in gambling.

regarding the second point OP in my opinion it is optional, not everyone should know our losses even though they are big, which if not motivated then they will get insults from the people we tell and talk about us behind our backs, that is a bad choice in my opinion, it happened to me personally, and it is very annoying.
