Topic: 5 Things to do After a Huge Loss in Gambling. - page 4. (Read 4437 times)

On one hand I dont see a problem to tell that I have lost or won either. On the other hand, I have never won or lost significant amounts, so I cant tell how I will act if I had $100k, and next second I dont have them. But my idea was that if a person has lost a lot of money, most probably he will hide that info to avoid judgment or strange looks. Because nobody likes to confess that they are losers or fail.

That is if they realize that what they get from gambling is not good for them. But most people will not realize that and still gambling without stopping for a while. So they will just losing more money in gambling without have a chance to recover their losses or win much money. They should introspect what they did in gambling so they will see that gambling is not for them and no need to be back to gambling.

Losing the money no matter how much needs to be aware so we don't try to gambling for too long. That will only makes us get more losses and if we don't wake up from that, we only gets more serious problems from gambling.

1. Accept the loss

Which is the most important thing on which you should really be that having on the moment that you do play gambling. On the moment that you do have this kind of mentality when it comes to gambling activity on which it will be that important that you do set out limits accordingly so that you wont really be having some issues when it comes to spending up money. Usually gamblers do really missed out on doing this and instead they do end up on having that miserable experiences specially into financial. When you are losing too much in gambling then the primary thing that comes up into your mind is on how you will be able to stop accordingly. Loses are indeed common when it comes to gambling and thats why its really that important that you do have that kind of moderation when it comes into your gambling activity. Make yourself having that lost of control then it will definitely be resulting into that disaster. This is why its really that important that you do really know at least on what you should gonna do. Never ever chase up loses because on the moment or time that you will be doing it then you will be losing up even more. This is why its better that you do really know on what you should gonna do and able to make out some safety measures when it comes to gambling activity. Make yourself that relax and moved on when you do lose big time or simply call it a day.

Dont try out to deposit even more because on the moment that you do have that kind of approach into things then you will be ending up on having some issues in terms of financial and we do know that gambling could wreck up on someones life accordingly.

I don't see a big deal in disclosing it when you win or lose, this is unless you are not a responsible gambler or you are not just proud of gambling. Gambling and its results should never be secretive, even by sharing, you might be lucky to meet a better gambler who might advise you and show you some ways to gamble safer, especially if you are an addict. For me, the way gambling is fun on its own is the same way the gist about its result is fun when I am in the midst of like minds.

Security is the main thing, because as you said, it can affect our comfort in any case, and it is related to this in the game we play. If security is one of the issues that is often heard in a casino, then when playing we will not be calm. We will think what if we win and are not paid by them. Security is something that I always pay attention to when choosing a casino to play. And we can see that starting from the reputation of the casino, seeing feedback or reviews from other users and so on. Also we must always pay attention to the terms and conditions of a casino.

I myself am concerned about security in any case, because in my opinion security is one of the things that also determines whether we are comfortable or not in doing something. The number of casinos currently operating does not rule out the possibility that there are casinos that have a bad reputation for not paying the winnings that have been obtained by their players and I myself have experienced it.

Sometimes I also think that the greater the amount of bets made, the amount of winnings that usually will also be large but that also depends on luck, we only need to pay attention to the limits of our betting ability because luck can happen anyway.

That is hard and that's why I've said that being remained calm while in losses is actually cannot be done by most gamblers.

And we are seeing a lot of us dwell in losses and being emotional at the same time. So, even if you want to take yourself a treat, you just can't.

That is because the feeling is still there and you can't move on quickly with it.

I am sure that if you intend to change your approach to gambling for the better then over time you will be able to, I think it's just a matter of time because from what you said I see that you have realized that you should not be greedy when you are in a winning situation, so I think what you should do next when gambling is to maintain the awareness that being greedy when winning or emotional when losing should be avoided in your mind, it's okay to do it slowly, because if for example you are used to it then without having to remember it you will also definitely know what you should do when you are in that situation, good luck my friend.

It's like that sometimes and at those moments you would feel like everything is programmed against you but those are just the bad days. A lot of gamblers don't know when to quit and that's their major problem. They think that by chasing your losses continually you would be able to get them back everytime but they end up taking L's. You said that the money can be recovered, do you mean through gambling? Cause it is dangerous to try and recover the money you have lost by gambling more. Just avoid the game for a long time and try to forget about your losses so you don't get tempted to chase your losses.

I do agree with this suggestion. Taking breaks on both losing and winning just to summarize what happened. Taking a step back will also make us calm again and that's when we can think clearly about what to do next. Honestly, I am one who didn't follow this kind of rule for myself back in the day, I always end up getting greedy when I see a high multiplier coming out. Wanting more will be there and that's why we need to take that rest even though if it's just for an hour or two. It will clear our mind while we savor that winning moment and we can feel better thinking we won against the house.

That's the mistake some gambler makes just thinking if they continue to play they will be able to recover their money back, but the chances of recovering lost money back is very slim, so their is no need trying to recover money back because the probability of losing. Greed and the lack of understanding is the reason why gamblers exhibit this character. Better way in gambling is to forget about every lose money, come back another day to play just with the money you can afford to lose.

It is true, there are many gamblers who are reluctant to disclose their losses. Because if they share their gambling losses, others will pity them or try to give them various kinds of advice, which can be called a strategy to avoid telling others about it. Again, when someone wins, he may not share his gambling with others because he does not feel safe there. However, there is no way to say that everyone thinks the same way. No one can say anything completely freely about an uncertain matter.

Yup, they needed to care about themselves after losing a lot, instead of keep pushing to try their luck much better to take a break and reassess what's made them wrong, there are many things that they need to consider, analysing how deep the engagements that they've already got and what are the things that may let them move forward and  lessen the chance of keep losing their hard earned money.

And it's true that those people around especially those who are caring about your condition can really help if your engagement to gambling is really gotten so far, they can help and made you realize if what you need to do in coping up with your gambling problem.

The question is, does this change a gambler? I don’t think so, OP. In fact, we see it most of the time—the more we lose, the more we gamble, believing that we can take our money back. I’m sure you’ve been experiencing this OP, but it only leading to another big loss. So instead of chasing after something that’s already gone, it is better to stop. Otherwise, we’ll only make things harder and stress ourselves about how to recover.

Losing is inevitable specially when you do play gambling even if you do deal up with gambling and thats why you should really be that accepting the risks before hand or on the moment that you have decided to play gambling. People do really have that kind of assumption that they can be able to make money with gambling on constant manner on which we know that this isnt really that possible with gambling, even lets say that sports bettor or to those who are playing with card games will be not able to make out such sustainability with gambling or betting To those who are be able to sustain then those are those old players but with having that luck into those times that they are that winning. Luck factor will really be that still the main thing or consideration for you to be able to win up on this thing. The wrong thing on here is that people do really be that become impulsive at the moment that they've been that losing that much or on the moment that they are profiting.

When you are in a huge loss then it cant be that avoided that you will really be that mainly thinking  on chasing up those loses and if you dont have that money then you will be just that trying out to simply deposit again and will be that trying out to hook up with those loses and making breaking even even into those old people who do deal up with gambling is that not all does really end up on a good situation but rather it is really that on the opposite.

😁 LOL, this is a very thoughtful comment, and very correct, loses due to gambling should be easily overcomed, this is if the money lost is an amount that the gambler consider tangible. But if not, then "ignore" is the right word to use, if and when a gambler have gotten to the stage or level where it takes him or her days and maybe not exactly the processes mentioned by the op, but takes the gambler some processes to overcome to loss, then it simply means that such gambler have not being; and is not practising healthy gambling.

Loosing in gambling should not give the same feeling like when someone lost money through a wallet hack or being scammed, both are not the same, and when someone who's wallet was hacked is having a hard time getting over the loss, someone who lost money to gambling shouldn't be experiencing same, because the former happens unexpected, while the latter is something that is, and should always be expected to happen.

Should the safety of our deposit be a priority? Maybe you are right, when you want to get a big win and will require more risk from the player and in the end it will most likely lead to bigger losses, I think that they will become inevitable. And if the safety of your deposit is a priority, then you will not make such big bets that could lead you to big problems. I know that it is easier to understand than to do it, and more often than not, in order to understand it, the player must first get a big loss, sometimes more than one.

I have also not gone up to that extent of losing so much in gambling, and that's because I never take gambling too seriously. Those who take gambling very seriously are likely to lose a significant amount, which will result in them seeking help because some of them lose their control over trying to recover what has already been lost. 
 
And yes, those who carry on making a profit from gambling as their top priority to gambling are likely to get addicted even before realising it since they are blinded by what they will get rather than protecting themselves.

In my opinion, not only when experiencing defeat we have to rest, even when we win there should indeed be a break for us to evaluate each of our activities in gambling, as you said, taking a break after experiencing a big defeat in gambling must to give us to reflect and recover from any existing pressure, besides I think with the existing break we can understand the causes of defeat and learn from mistakes to improve better strategies when we start to gamble again.

Why put yourself in the situation where you've literally got to go through a 5 stage process to overcome a gambling loss of that size.  If this is something anyone needs, I'd recommend they quite gambling ASAP. 

I neve gamble enough money that would make me lose my mind enough to have to go through a 5 step process like this.  Seems like many are addicted af to gambling here.
