I think the solution is in the first point you conveyed OP that the only thing a gambler must do after experiencing defeat is to "accept the defeat", in the sense of being responsible for the decisions they have made before and do not regret it at all. Because in my opinion, various impulsive or aggressive actions often occur because of the difficulty of accepting the fact of defeat, but maybe after that I will also add the third point from what you mentioned that when we experience defeat, it is advisable for us to go find other activities such as hanging out with friends or doing any physical activity that you like, it will really help you to be able to forget the defeat you previously experienced.

Accepting defeat must be realized by every gambler. Whatever the risk, we already know that in betting we can win and lose. If we lose then we must accept it. But sometimes we can't accept defeat sincerely. That's what causes us to lose our mood for a while. Looking for activities such as hanging out with friends or other activities might be good for multiplying disappointment. But when you've lost your mood because of defeat, it might also affect your emotions when hanging out. I might choose to close all activities and go to bed.

Among all the points mentioned, the most important one is the sharing. When you share your loss with someone and if they give some consoling words, it automatically makes us feel relaxed. I experienced a massive loss in the early morning, and it was a Sunday. I was supposed to go to church, but I wasn't able to attend the church ceremony. My mind was filled with a number of thoughts, and by God's grace, I left the house and went outside and shared with a brother. He gave a word, money is not a big thing. It might be in one's pocket, and the next day we can see the same in someone's pocket. So, we shouldn't feel for it, take it as a learning, and God has blessed us with a life, we need to live it. This is a big part of my life, because even a small negative thought could cause a big disaster in life.

A gambler can definitely break down after a big loss in gambling, so he should share the loss with his family members to comfort him. Moreover, family members must be able to provide adequate support to a mentally disordered gambler on how to easily stop gambling. Moreover, the issue of loss must be shared with friends because only friends can easily comfort him emotionally. Friends can take him on long drives and engage him in various recreational activities to stop him from gambling temporarily or permanently.

I don't agree that family members would want to console a gambler in huge losses, they will rather resort to blame games and suggest he would have given them such funds instead of loosing it to the casino just like that and so for me I believe I would say fellow gamblers who would understand better should be their resort, if the gambler explains to a fellow gambler about loosing an amount to the casino, they would understand better a d probably have the right words to get them consoled without really throwing blames at the gambler for loosing such amount at a time but can later constructively criticize them.

I understand what you mean buddy, I have also felt in the situation you mean where my gambling circle of friends often do something like insulting some other gambling friends who experience defeat, it seems to have become a kind of tradition and may also apply in most gambling circles when one or some of them experience defeat, and with that so I quite agree with you that it is quite difficult to say like "I lost big today", for them it is very embarrassing and therefore they prefer not to tell anyone especially their gambling circle, but I think it should still be possible to tell one of your closest friends in your gambling circle if you do have a true friend like that, I do that too.

I understand the desire to share such a burden on the soul with a close friend. But if we are talking about telling a person about a big loss who has also faced a similar experience, what can such an action really achieve? If we look at the question pragmatically. Will it help to avoid such a thing in the future? I think not. You can also run into disapproval and even condemnation.

Yup, there is none, and telling others about your losses will not get your money back either, but it is still possible for you to get peace of mind when you tell the right person who understands your situation outside of those people who like to criticize losing gamblers. Telling the right person might also make you much better in the future, or it doesn't mean that you will really avoid the possibility of losing but maybe they will tell you about how to treat gambling properly, such as advice to be more careful and only bet with an amount that you can really afford to lose, or it could be like advice to cash out early so as not to end up with regret.

1. Accept the loss:

Next,
Dont chase up loses
Dont try to make some loans or borrowing money
Dont thinking up on having that breakeven
Dont think about next bets will be a win

Acceptance would really be the key but people are hardheaded and being that too emotional and thats why stopping will really be completely a hard thing to be done.
This is why this kind of business is really that profitable into its owners just because of those kind of behavior of gamblers on where they do become that impulsive.
Spending up tons of cash or fiat money just because they are really that trying to catch up something.

People will really be just that having that sense of regret at the moment that there's nothing that they could pull out into their pocket or simply they had wasted up
enough with their bank accounts or huge chunk of it, or worst have lost it all.

Socializing will make us forget easily the huge losses that we have incurred. This what I do whenever I am swimming in losses and I can't accept it easily.

While we struggle to feel the consciousness that we have when we're on that sensation of extracting that we have actually lost a lot of money.

There are ways for us to realize that we just did and accept it. But one of the best ways IMHO is to get socialized. You talk to people with several topics outside gambling and do those outdoor activities or recreationals that you'll forget what you have been up to.

Here is my recommendation for 5 things to do after a huge gambling loss.

1. Take a dump. Why not, your bankroll just did?
2. Brush your teeth. Always good advice.
3. Exercise. Get your dopamine back.
4. Go to work. You have money to earn to replace your dumb decision.
5. Seek help. If you are risking your financial future on casino games, you probably need to talk to someone.

Yeah that helps a lot especially if the person who experienced this kind of failure is willing to submit himself and forget about what happened, friend and relatives can help him to cope up just need to have alternative activities to prevent the person to think more about gambling though it's always in the person/gambler if he's serious in taking action to avoid repeating that same mistake.

Else, if the person will continue thinking about that same thing he might be tempted to re-try once he got some money to use and most of the time he will just repeat that same mistake again.

Depression or disappointment is definitely something that someone experiences when they lose in gambling, but actually it also depends on whether they gamble with the aim of making money or not, because usually when the aim is for entertainment it will be very easy for them to be responsible. On the other hand, telling other people about the problems we experience can be one solution to calm the mind while asking for help, but when we talk about gambling then according to that it depends on their environment, in the sense that if for example they are in an anti-gambling environment and also their family really condemns gambling then it is impossible for a gambler to dare to tell his family about his defeat. In this situation there may be only one option that is still possible to choose, namely telling a friend, because usually even though the environment is anti-gambling, usually everyone always has a true friend to tell various positive and negative things.

That's yours OP, and here is mine.

1. Keeping losses a secret is what makes the pain even more greater, find someone who you trust and tell them.

2. Avoid chasing what you have lost no matter how big the amount is, when you lost the money it is gone, forget it and move on.

3. Take some time off, go out with friends and clear your mind, and come back home to movies or video games.

4. When you healed, make sure you learn the true meaning of gambling, it is not a guaranteed way to make money, why not treat it as such? This will make you to never be reckless again.

5. Come up with a amount, and stay on that amount forever, if it is $1 so be it, always risk this $1 on gambling and make sure you don't do it everyday.

I completely agree with your conclusions and main thoughts. Everything is written to the point and to the point. 1. It is with lies that problematic addiction begins. You can't hide losses and then start thinking that all the money will come back. 2. Hope that everything will be fine. I think you can draw a parallel with traders who do not use stop loss. You need to be able to accept losses. And of course, you always need to draw conclusions that will help you avoid mistakes in the future.

I agree with the points here, both what Z390 and you are said, all for safety and security and accountability that is much better after making a big defeat in gambling.

But I need to withdraw one point that is difficult to do is, being able to change the thoughts and characteristics of addiction, usually the person who committed their big defeat is a gambler who is an acute addicted is very difficult to cure, unless he can not gamble anymore, and if it is turned off Also to be able to have thoughts and concepts that you mentioned requires quite a long time.

For points one and two, that is something I always do, first, whether the result is win or lose, I still tell my friend, there is no clear purpose but I do it just to share the story. And with the second, we should be able to understand that the money we bet is lost in gambling, that is something that must be accepted well because if it cannot be accepted well, the consequences will be even worse. In addition, there are many things that can and must be done when experiencing defeat in gambling, but the point is that we ourselves must be able to be self-aware not to insist on forcing ourselves to continue gambling to pursue victory in gambling.

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.

Let me emphasise more on this because the aspect of telling someone is very crucial in regarding gambling matters, because they can either break you or make you.first thing to do after having such huge loss it to entirely take a long break then after which limit your gambling habits, so having someone in your life don't really matter except it's someone that advises you to avoid such gambling activities.

Telling that someone is not just some random person you meet in the street; it should be someone whom you have already known for a long and their capacity of handling such kind of information if it's the type that will give you good advice or if it's those that will blame and make you feel bad about yourself.

No doubt some people are really not worth telling about our gambling story. Some people can't take that break on their own unless they have someone on their side to always be pushing them and reminding them of the importance of taking that break from the game, which is why I also consider the telling someone a tip from the OP useful.

Honestly we have individual different way of tolerance and how we react to things, there are those that can absorb certain shook as if nothing happens without letting anyone know about it while some others feel more better when they have some one to convide in and it makes regain strength as soon as possible, they feel relieved from their trauma the more they have it being to talk to someone else but yeah not any one worth talking to that is to say it is important we have some we talk to generally in life in times of distress where and when necessary.

I think accepting the loss and accepting that the cause was their own is the first step. The second step would be to focus on things that can help them get back to a normal life again and attempt to earn that money back. Most of the times the losses are gone are will not come back even if they put in more work, in which case just accept it and remind yourself what good things you could have done with that lost money instead.

A huge loss can be fatal, it is thus important to identify the high risk signs and prevent it.

Accepting the loss is exactly the first and the most important thing because most negative effects that comes from gambling is due to the fact that people cant accept the loss then they do something beyond their limit (financially and emotionally). When we can accept the loss and forget about it, it will lead us into positive side so we wont think too much about the loss. Most people who cant accept usually because they lost more than what they cant afford to lose and they expected too much that they will win by spending more than what they can afford to lose. So before gambling, we should also set how much to risk in order to make it easier to accept when we lose our initial bankroll.

Acceptance is the key but people wont really be able to realize on how important on having that kind of easy acceptance on things specially on gambling. Losing doesnt give out that kind of good feeling and thats why acceptance is really indeed the key for you to be able to easily move on at the time that you do experience loses. If you are a type of person whose not really that too emotional or impulsive about loses then these things wont really be an issue but on the time or moment that you do find yourself having some problems in related to gambling and in connection about your mindset and emotion then better stop midway.
People do usually having that kind of approach towards gambling on where they do really that believe that they can be able to make themselves as winners but as we do all know about gambling that we do all lose at the end.
