Topic: Answer this Gambling Question on Duration of Joy after a win or loss - page 5. (Read 454 times)

This is the more reason why, you have to calculate yourself first before gambling. When gambling you don't use money that was supposed to be used for something else to gamble. If not, you'll just give yourself a heart attack one day and that's the end. That is why we are advised to keep money separately for gambling purpose so we'll not mess around with our finance anyhow. With my observation, joy tend to last less than losses. When we experience loss our emotion and mood just changes and most times it can be very obvious that someone who have not known you before, can tell that you're not Happy.

When I feel down because of losing in gambling, It will last overnight because of disappointment and that's normal for me, espcially that I'm overthinker, I always think of many what if's that's why it is so hard for me to accept losing. But then, losing in gambling is normal and also it will gives us a lesson and will learn a lot which helps us in our next gambling session.

I mostly make sport bets and while I am not very good at it, from time to time I get a win and that makes my day, in fact when this happens and I do not have any pending bets I make sure to not make new ones just to enjoy that feeling a little bit longer.

So I would say that feeling lasts me a whole day, if not more if another positive event were to happen to me that was unrelated to gambling, however I would guess not many gamblers can do this as it is very common to see a person that just won, making an even bigger bet as they are not happy even when the results favor them.

I have never had a big win which would make me feel such a joy which you describe,  enough to give gifts around to my family and love ones, however, I believe if it happened to me I would feel good and joyful for about 2 days before I started to get back to my normal mood. On the other hand, I have indeed lost some money while playing dices on an online casino and the sadness I felt was quite remarkable, it lasted about two days. I felt bad because with that money I would have bought some nice dinners for my parents or do something nice for them, like helping them to buy Medicine in case they needed some, fortunately it was not a life changing amount of money, but the kind of pinch with makes one realize one is not supposed to risk money beyond the planned budget.

Anyways, I am glad you have at least been able to enjoy some of your earnings from the casino, Op. My this new year which comes bring you more positive experiences like that one and you continue to withdraw and share your happiness with your loves ones.  
Hopefully this year will be also luckier for me.  

Well, it depends on the amount. Of course, for me, my regret or sad phase will last longer if I know the money I've lost is quite a lot. Of course, it's a common and normal thing, especially since we are talking about money here, so I'm sure most of us will have the same feeling or answer, but if the amount is not that large, then I will be sad or frustrated for a short time only. But when it comes to winning, of course, no matter what the amount is, the happiness will last very long. Of course, it's a win, so no matter how small or big it is, the happiness cannot be matched by something. But if we are talking about a very big win, then of course the happiness will be greater and more assured. Its valid to feel sad, frustrated, or happy in every bet depending on what the result will be. The important thing is not to be too attacked and too affected by the result because it will affect your next bet or gambling.

I also agree with the others who said it depends on the amount because it could change someone's life for better or worse once you reach a certain amount. Smaller bets are easier to brush aside regardless of the outcome because it's usually an insignificant amount that barely affects your gambling session and bankroll. In my case, I do sports betting, and it lasts until I make the next bet because I mostly make small bets, unlike the others, but it's still an amount that keeps me hooked.

Honestly, losing a bet, losing some money, or losing any import thing doesn't actually give joy to any human, but when they win, they express joy and happiness, which elevates the spirit and enthusiasm of that individual, whether it's a gambler or anyone else. We are all different individuals with different convictions, mindsets, and attitudes. A gambler can lose some significant amount of money while gambling, and after they have gambled off all their money at that moment without winning anything, they will just peacefully go back home and still not give any deep thoughts to how much they lost. But there are some people who will react very arrogantly to any sudden situation, mostly if they have lost some money in gambling.

Some people will take some harsh decisions against themselves after losing a bet, and they will keep reminding themselves about their losses until they finally forget about them after some days or a week.

I don't gamble with the money I can't afford to loose, so even if I lost all the money I intend to gamble with, I will not get angry of feel bad about it, but when I win some money, I usually express the joy.

We can call it revenge gambling or chasing profits after lose, there are lots of people whom has find themselves in this kind of situation but doesn't know what to do either to stop or continue, with the amount they have lost so far it could be a defeat to them where if they stops and flashes back the amount they have lose it will be so painful to him making him not to backside for any reason. But so far, he is doing a revenge gambling and it's very dangerous to deal with because at then the heart is being compromised and gambling to restore back their previous lost.

With such understanding,  it becomes easier to cope up with loss when it happens because you already know that that feeling is temporal and with time you are going to recover from the pain,  and no matter what old experience it triggered up in you as a gambler,  so long that you have that experience before and you already know what to expect in the next round of games or the excitement you get when you hit your next winning,  all that makes you to forget on time.

But a situation where you continue on a losing trend,  because that also can happen sometimes,  when you lose and you continue to gamble again you still lose this time winning may be far from you and the best thing to do is to take that break off and rest for a while before you continue again until you find your winning luck.

That's right, the excitement will usually only last when the money from the winnings we still have or that means it hasn't run out, but on the other hand I think the excitement of the sensation of winning that you managed to get will also still last even though the money has run out, and usually all the excitement will disappear when you try to gamble again with hope and also with a little imagining the previous winning situation but it turns out that the results are losing and that's where the upset and emotions will usually appear.

After that everything will return to the starting point where if you want to win again then you have to be lucky but on the other hand it is not easy to get lucky like before, especially if you use your last money. Therefore, to minimize irritation and emotion for myself honestly when I do manage to get a win then usually I will save some of the money for gambling capital at a later time and some of it to enjoy, and if indeed in the next gambling session I lose then I will not be too emotional because the money lost is money from previous winnings and not money out of personal pockets. But on the other hand, I honestly feel that the money from gambling winnings really seems to run out very quickly and it's hard to remember where it went. Do you feel that way too?

It depends of the prize to be honest. When winnings are above $1000+ the joy and excitement can last several days, more than a whole week sometimes while when it's "only" few dozens of USD it lasts only few days or hours sometimes unfortunately. I hope one day being able to taste the thrill of winning more than $10 000+ in one time. Because it starts to be a real life changing prize.

Yes definitely no one enjoys losing money in gambling. And it's so frustrated and painful if you have experience one. But if you win, it's a total different mode, you feel generous and give others money from your winnings. And people think that you are a good person because of that.

And this feeling of joy could last for several hours if you still have that money in your hand.

But I do agree that it will depend on the money that you have won. Like for example if you win on lottery, obviously it will last you a long time joy and happiness as it will change your life.

you have a very good point on this. it depends on the amount of winnings we are talking about here. if it is only few bucks, the likelihood of using it again in your next bet is quite high as you want to win more. but if the winnings is big enough, of course, it may take days to subside the feeling of happiness. as you can also buy some items that you really wanted to buy not only for you but also for your loved ones.

but if you happen to have a good amount of winnings, i would say better invest into something long lasting like small business or something that will give you passive income. because money can easily be gone if you don't know how to manage it.

I think this depends on how you take gambling. After win, they spend the money lavishly forgetting they have several times lose some money on this gambling. For people who see gambling as an investment, I think there winning happiness last long. This is because this type of people hardly spend their winnings lavishly.

Depends on your winning, if you win big then it might give you that high for hours or even days as you have a lot of money in your pocket. Maybe you can treat your family or anyone special in your life, buy them some items.

But if let's say the amount is not that big, maybe less than $100, you might be tempted to play again and hope that you can win more. But we all know that most of the time it's not the case as the house will take your money in an instant if you are no longer that lucky.

Thousands of bets are placed, you win and lose, I don't know, you shouldn't give it more importance that these kinds of situations deserves, winning and losing should be balanced feel.

However, maybe if you make a few bets, you should feel that way, but as I've said before, you should be excited about non-partial net results. This year, I won $X and lost $Y, which gives me a profit in positive or negative value. Measuring yourself emotionally for each bet is exhausting. You shouldn't do it.

For a win, the joy will last for as long as you have the money from your win. Immediately the money is exhausted and finishes, you will be hit with the reality of the situation that you are back to square one, that terminates joy. For a loss, the sadness will persist if the loss has cost you a lot, maybe you have lost money you should have used for something else and you do not have a replacement. Immediately you get a replacement, the sadness of loosing is forgotten.

The best healer is (time),  take time off after every session to either enjoy your winning or moon your losses,  but regardless of what the feelings are,  it's all fads away with time and the next time will surely come.

Time heals regardless of which direction you use the time,  be it for you or against you, sometimes this scenario always plays out with me,  when I lose I just tell myself that the pain will go away with time,  and truly as time passesasses days roll by I forget the pain and develop a thicker skin,  same also wit when I win,  at first I will be all excited and as time goes on the excitement die down and there be need to play some more.

When someone lose his bet it brings out all the bad time in a man for over the time he has been losing, but a single winning will make you forget all the loses and will still inspire you the more to gamble. It's the Joy of winning that triggers you to increase your wager in the next bet making you to feel you would break the house this time around, winning usually last in as long as you still have the money with you, in your account or at home anytime you reflect back to the money you will be joyous to keep gambling but only the responsible gambler will exit from site or casino house to give some little space before going back into gambling again.

No one enjoys losing in gambling.Losing brings our hopes down, it ushers in emotional pain and grumpiness whereas, winning elevates our mood, bringing happiness and excitement. There are games where I have won and after withdrawing my winnings, I am so happy that I give gifted some of it to people around me. This doesn't last for long once the it is out of my hand and minds. I am curious, how long does this joy last after a win or a loss—does it linger until your next bet, lasting the whole day, just 20 minutes, or perhaps 2 hours?
