Topic: 5 Things to do After a Huge Loss in Gambling. - page 4. (Read 2849 times)

Hmm, I myself think maybe it depends on us how we think about gambling itself, if our mindset responds to gambling as just entertainment then the amount of money lost will not be a problem but when our mindset considers gambling as a way to make money then the amount of money lost will affect our emotions and it can continue.

You are right, whatever the situation whether winning or losing then it is better to stop with the aim of calming down. Also, don't forget to do research first so that we don't have the wrong mindset in responding to gambling.

The best way to limit your losses is to use an amount that you can afford to lose. However, gambling for fun will make you overlook your bet when you lose it. If you gamble for profit, that's when you will not be able to overcome the temptation of chasing your losses. You will think that's possible for you to recover them, when it's impossible.

Is it really necessary that when you play gambling, you must lose a large amount? I'm just asking this. Maybe, the best thing a gambler should do in a casino is to have an amount limit to gamble on the gambling platform that he will be gambling on, the casino.

And once the limit amount deposited in the casino is exhausted, do not try to deposit money again on the day he played the game. This type of gambling is called being a responsible gambler and having self-control.

After accepting the loss the person should not chase his loss too because that will cause more harm to him. Many people would accept the loss but still want to win back the amount and from there continues losing has started.
This is the most wrong or baddest advise ever. You want the loser tell someone about this loss. I don't know if you are real gambler. A big loss should be a top secret only to yourself and which tell a third party, it is no more a secret. And once others hear about it, your mockery point has been revealed to the World. They will use you to analyze gambling and label gambling as a bad activity. This is where the bad name for gambling comes in.

This pat is good. When the person is on depression because of the great loss then it is good he went out with friends to have funs. Do things to laugh and run around and if he is good in local football, he should play ball with friends
This number four and the number two are just the same. And if the person wants to leave gambling then that is the time this two advises are needed. And if it is because of the loss then they are not needed.

And as the number five every human is a living testimony and according to the saying, if we are living, there hope. So one day he will get back that amount that he loss either in gambling or in another way.

I recently lost a good amount of money playing slots, equal to half of the average salary in my country, and it happened very quickly. I didn't think that I should have played with smaller bets so that luck would have a minimal impact on my game. Instead, I placed a big Bet per spin.
This is because the online casino gave me a lot of bonus money for the first deposit, and I decided to play greedily. After all, a big Bet means a big win for the multiplier. So, now I understand those who lose money quickly and then look at their empty balance. This is really necessary and important to accept.

I might be a bit advance on this one, but whenever I deposit my money on a gambling casino, I already consider it as a loss. That's my mindset and a way of tricking myself so that in the end, if I lose my money, it doesn't hurt me that much because I already accepted that the money I deposited is a loss. This is very hard thing to do especially for those who wants to make money with the help of gambling. Believe me, there are many gamblers that can't accept their losses, and the only thing that's on their mind is to recover those losses thus, depositing again, and the cycle is back yet again.

This didn't help me TBH because at first place, I can control myself already, and I know what to do if I loss in gambling. At the end of the day, I already accepted it right from the start and yes telling it to somebody makes you feel better but for me, I don't even need to tell it to somebody because I can make myself better.

Socializing more would be good for most people out there, but mine's different. Instead of socializing, I would rather go and play online games so that I can forget those losses. As an introvert person, being alone and playing online games is for me the best time in a day, so if I have the opportunity to do that, I will do it.

This is for those who are completely addicted to gambling already that they can't control themselves anymore. Those who spent millions of dollars in gambling should really seek help from an expert because recovering from gambling addiction is very hard if you will do it by yourself. You need help from experts, professional and most importantly, your family.

Sorry, I didn't know you've annexed India to Africa. It must be a latest development 🤔, right? Anyway, I hope I didn't touch a soft spot with the clergy thing. I'm African and what I said is what's evidenced in several parts of African countries. Facts are sacrosanct and they don't lie.

I agree with what you said, someone who has just experienced a big loss must be able to control themselves so as not to repeat the same mistake and reflect on what is currently happening instead of being even more eager to gamble more and recover previous losses because if gambling when the atmosphere is chaotic will make gambling uneasy and eventually experience greater losses. It is important for someone to manage their own risk management and not overdo it when gambling so as not to experience too much of a big loss which ultimately affects their mentality.

Gambling is done on one's own will and not because of anyone's coercion, and of course the Casino has given this warning so that those who want to get into gambling should think twice about the losses that can occur (but many ignore it).

Mistakes and losses in gambling make you or anyone learn that not only wins are obtained, but there will be quite painful losses that will make our psychology a little shaken. Especially if the money used is quite a lot.

If it's possible to get out of gambling to sigh for a moment, it may be better than continuing with a psychologically unstable one.

I have also experienced moments where my initial gambling looked really bad because of my ignorance of how gambling games work.
The $50 I deposited was just gone in an instant, but it was a lesson for me and I also didn't make gambling a place to make a lot of money, it was just a place of entertainment.

If the amount is something that you can afford to lose then it will really be not directly talking or speaking about on quitting gambling. The main issue for most gamblers is that on the time that they will really be losing up then they do keep on depositing until they will really be piling up their loses until they will really be not able to gamble anymore because they dont have more funds into their wallet or pocket.

When doing gambling then you should really be that wary about losing and winning thing. Never make yourself that be positive or being optimistic when it comes to gambling because it will really be just that making you desperate and this is something which is really that bad for it. When dealing up with this space then just for entertainment and thrill.

Bettors who had just lost really big should first calm down and quit gambling at that time, there is no need to try again, or else, that huge loss could be the beginning of his losses and devastation. For me, gambling is not by force, such should at least take enough breath to ponder on the mistake (personal or psychological) and whether he is adequate to bet again or just avoid betting entirely. The financial capacity is another consideration here, it's not worth it if gambling ruins the person altogether.

Tell them to use small amount in gambling they won't listen, they want to make a lot of money by depending on luck, how easy can this get lol? Hell no it can't be me because I don't have a room for treating bad and negative mentality.

You will be all well and healthy if you use small money to gamble always, no diseases like addiction and mental health issues will come after you, but my people are full of greed, they want the best results from the impossible ways, I don't blame them.

Be contented, have a job going, use smaller percentage of the money and use to gamble, don't chase losses when you lose, come back some other time, do this all the time and no matter what happens it won't affect your life as a man, your job still pays and you have your family still, be responsible.

Yes, that is why it is better if we gamble using small amount to prevent the increases of our emotion. When we become emotion, we may forget to our limitation and at that time, we can use more money to recover our losses. Losing big money in gambling must be avoid so we can also prevent the bad thing that can happen to us.

Stopping for playing gambling after huge loss will be necessary as that can make us realize that we already used too much money. With stop gambling, we can check our financial and leave the casino is the best advice to us.

Nothing wrong with taking therapy but that will work if addicted person to gambling accept and starts the process. With a help from his families, he will realize that he will not alone solving his gambling addiction. That can make him know that he can cure his addiction and have a second chance for his families.

I think it is about time to boost some self-ego (There are so many quotes in this post that is why I just bolded my reply so that if someone wants easy navigation)










Thanks a lot to all of you for praising my efforts. Words of appreciation from wise and reputed members like you all mean a lot to me.


As one of the therapists (perhaps the leading one ), I can assure you there is nothing wrong with taking therapy. Anyone can get triggered by anything (like the nature of posts posted here).
On a serious note, I do think these types of discussions enable you to understand yourself more which eventually leads to making better decisions.


Excellent add-on.

This just shows your prejudiced mental attitude toward third-world nations, for your kind information, 'I am a priest from India' .

If you lose small amount then the chance that you can still control your emotion is very possible unlike if you using huge amount which most of the time carried your emotions, when you lose you get aggreviated and you wanted to recover quickly, meaning that you'll add more money and probably the outcome still against you.

Better to stop and make sure to analyze, re-assess if possible and take some air chill yourself that helps to refresh your intention and avoid losing more.

Dont wait for things to become messy for you to stop doing or playing gambling and just like on what most comments on here telling that we gamblers do really simply stop on the time that we cant play anymore due on having no financial capacity on doing so. You could be able to possibly see some addicted gamblers do commit out some crime or any illegal doings just to make their addiction to be fed up.

When playing gambling then acceptance would really be the key for you not to be devastated with gambling, because if you are really that becoming too impulsive and cant be able to control yourself on playing more then you are the ones who are really that trying out to destroy yourself in terms of financial aspect on which you will definitely be having that huge regret at the moment that you do find yourself that experiencing hard conditions because of lacking money. Just like on what all people been saying that people do learn on the moment that they will be experiencing it out but actually we can be able to stop if we really wanted to.

If you do tolerate out such condition then you are really that bound on putting yourself on a disaster. Loses are common in gambling and it will really be that on huge odds on attaining it because house do always win at the end and trying to cope up on being a winner will really just that make things even more worst. If you cant be able to control your emotions or mindset towards playing gambling then better skip and avoid it out as much as possible. If you can afford to lose those amounts of money then go ahead and continue but bare in mind that unlimited funds is impossible

As it should be but people do really fail on doing so because on the moment that they have lost too much then the primary thing that comes up into your mind is on how to get those loses back
or trying out to break even. On the time or moment that you do have this kind of approach on things then it will really be that resulting into desperation.

People will never ever learn not until on the time that they will really be experiencing those tough conditions on which they dont have any more money that they can make use on their gambling activity.
This is really just that on the sad reality on which people cant be able to stop themselves at the moment that they are slowly getting addicted with gambling.
Stopping will really only happen if they do literally have no money to spend on.

Accept your loss, learn from it so you wouldn't do the same mistake and move on.
Learn to manage your funds and only gamble what you could afford.

Gotta agree with OgNasty on this one, I especially like 2-4 and brownie points (pun intended) for number 1 which for the record it should have been properly listed as #2 hehe. Anyhow, enough potty talk! I feel like we're talking to toddlers here. Don't gamble all of your money little Jimmy! You need it for someday when you're a big kid lmfao.

I agree with you because that is the right thing that we must do when gambling. We can not use a big amount to bet because that can lead us to get more losses at once. We must prevent that losses become big by always use small bet to gambling so when we see the money is not too much, we can decide to stop gambling and leave the casino. In that time, we must reduce the intention because of losing for some time so take a break will be better than keep playing gambling. After huge losses, someone must realize that he don't have luck and he must get out from the games before everything is change. That is for prevention from the big losses that can comes to him.
