I would like to read on how people move on after they lose some big or some stories on how they successfully move on and never turned back to casino after they suffered a major loss. Most of the time when the gamblers found some opportunities to get back on track, they won't hesitate to try again that's why they repeat the same mistakes which they've been doing all the time. We need some stories to know how to tackle this kind of problem and perhaps that would become the reason for others to stop before the storm hit them very hard.
Although that is hard for people to move on from gambling, they must do that if they do not want to gamble and regret their loss. But unfortunately, not many of them can do that as they are still thinking about recovering their losses in the next few days. They need to have an effort to stop gambling for some time and thinking about how much money they already used and must forget about their losses. Maybe they need a second chance to start a new life than to just back to gambling so they can have the opportunity to have a better life.

When you win, your emotions tell you to gamble more.
When you lose, your emotions tell you to gamble more to chase a loss.
That's right but a responsible gambler will never listen to emotions. You may gamble more or not after your winning/losing but it should be as per your plans/limits that you bring before entering to casino/site for the day. When you lose, your emotions tell you to gamble more to chase a loss.
Yes, being responsible is nothing but following own rules.
I know most gamblers will have some plans like they will gambler only for 2 hours or only up $50 today but ending up spending all the day and losing $1000 as gambling will deceive them not to follow their own plans. That is the reason even conscious gamblers go irresponsible most of the times.
When I played in an offline casino, I only had money in my pocket for the minimum roulette bet.
I did not take a plastic payment card with me. The casino is very far from my house. Therefore, I could not return home for money. This limited my possible loss to the minimum roulette bet.
When playing at an online casino, you can also set a directive limit on your bets. In my opinion, you cannot rely only on your willpower.
Man is a very emotional creature. One of the strongest emotions is excitement. This emotion is very difficult to control.

For me when I say gambling, my mind is set that it is "for fun only". One of the thing I am telling my mind not to do is getting a loan or debt that I am going to use on my gambling habbit because I/we have no assurance that we can win gambling so that we have money to pay it. I see "getting a loan" never becomes a good solution neither a good practice so as long as we can avoid it, then avoid it. If we see other people that become rich through gambling, then we must know how to manage our wins and losses without having any debts to pay after we win.
A gambler should definitely have control over his emotions and greed to overcome the disadvantages of gambling.
Hard to control it in most cases as emotion is a natural behavior.
When you win, your emotions tell you to gamble more.
When you lose, your emotions tell you to gamble more to chase a loss.
The best way would be, after this loss, be responsible enough to accept the defeat. It's ok to feel saddened nor regrettable but moving on should always be followed.

It is easy to say but the others really just can't. They cannot overcome their greed because they're hooked up and the reason of it varies from each gambler.Hard to control it in most cases as emotion is a natural behavior.

So true. You barely control your emotions if you keep on winning and also when you're losing a lot. There's this craving that you cannot control which won't help you to manage yourself anymore.When you win, your emotions tell you to gamble more.

Gambling is such a thing where even the best gambler can lose all his money.
Then what is the point of referring as best gambler? I mean there cannot be any room to call anyone as best gambler nor professional gamblers; all are same on most of gambling and some exceptions are possible with skills based gambling.A gambler should definitely have control over his emotions and greed to overcome the disadvantages of gambling.
Again I don't think having control over your emotions will be enough to tackle the disadvantages of gambling. Because, there are thousands of disadvantages we can find with gambling and you cannot find any shortcut for managing them easily. Gambling is all about uncertainty; just accept it and enjoy the gambling because we do not have any other go 
. 
That could have happened with the best of us. Gambling is such a thing where even the best gambler can lose all his money.
In your case though, it was your mindset of earning money through a shortcut that drove you down.
If you had the ability to patiently wait then you could have simply invested/traded and got some decent profits.

Good bankroll will make you treat gambling seriously, and when you treat it seriously, you'll learn how to do the right bankroll management. Losing and winning is your everyday experience, but being disciplined and being able to impose your strategy effectively, should help you win or minimize your losses if you are not successful.
Yeah, I never though that way; I always add little money to my gambling bankroll which may be the reason why I am just gambling carelessly. I got into the practice of gambling with small bets because people always do say to risk only the affordable money which impacted me up to the level of not caring my gambling seriously. Yes, I do gamble like to find whether luck is on my side or not and definitely not in the way of maximizing the chances of my luck favoring me.There are different dimensions in gambling; people gamble with the small money and lose it and accept it and more on whereas some people consider gambling like a serious moneymaking opportunity so they had big money to bankroll and playing with well tested strategy and making good money in the end.
It's been proven that gambling positive accomplishments trigger the very same areas of the brain that get fired when we are happy for something. On the opposite side, when losing those bad events trigger the worst anxious and depressed responses. Given that, be careful when you gamble beyond your limits since you can get lost.
That's the psychological advantage if you knew the trick that you shouldn't let your emotions get in the way when you gamble, not just in gambling but even on trading and other way to earn money that has risks. It's always good to have nice bankroll management.

I don't have a job, and that's the reason I wasn't able to keep me deviated from gambling. Hope this helps someone.
Thank You
Worse thing that you can do to your life, because if you don't have a job to sustain your gambling, you will likely end up getting a loan borrowing from relatives and friends or get into bad activities like robbing, it's ok to gamble if you have a job to sustain your gambling and you can control your money and how you gamble, you only have two choices be a responsible gambler or become a miserable gambler. Thank You
When we got winning many times, that can lead us to spend more and more because winning is satisfying and we want to have those feelings. I think that is happening to many gamblers and we end up losing all of the money and can not recover the losing money. So remember, when we can win for some rounds, taking a break will be the way for us to lowering the tension because of the winning before. By doing that, we can think clear of what we will need to do and save the winning money.
Not just winning makes people increase their bets but also losing. It is not just about winning or losing in gambling but it is about being responsible. You need to stop when you feel it is enough and you will not tolerate your own rules. Gambling is just a sort of entertainment. If you take it too serious, you cant afford the negative outcome (the worst can be the same as OP' story) There is a simple way to be a responsible gambler: Set your daily limit. Ex: you will only gamble 20$ a day and stop when you lose $20
Everybody knows the daily limit but from saying it to implementing it is a huge gap.Many people can't stick to it although they set a daily limit.They get mad when they lose this limit and say I just want to hit a few more spins and quit but this leads them to losing everything.
However, if things do not improve, quitting gambling is the only way. Why not just find some other ways for entertainning
You should stop when you do found out these kind of behavior on towards self;
1. Impulsive
2. Doesnt mind about finances
3. Play that there's like no tomorrow
4. Dont know on when to stop neither on profits or in losses
If you do have a problem towards these things then for sure you would really be having a hard time in dealing with gambling specially if you
hooked up yourself in addiction.

This statement is correct, once we get out of our limit, that's when the problem will start. Being emotional in gambling will only put ourselves at high risk, it's understandable that we want to win more if we are lucky, however, it's impossible that luck will always be in our side all the time, so how would we react if time will come that we lose and we gamble beyond our limit, I think this one is the hardest part to handle.
and when the time its been mixed up with greed then that's where problem begins.Dont go past into your limitations and you should be fine but gambling is something that hard to resist
specially if you do aim to make money and when you do lost then your primary aim is to chase back those loses and win it back or trying to break even which is the most common
mistake on where we do commit on.
I was insisted by different people several times. Gambling isn't meant to make money. It is pure business, have fun and never be a victim of it. Now I'm a victim of it. In my village when people play cards I used to advice them, none know I'm into gambling. What they play for is not more than $5, and now I find guilty of being worse than them.
What I've lost is big. Last one month have made a big change in my life. I don't know how things gonna change and myself gonna manage. I would like to brief the last 31 days of my life and gambling. Someone could read and won't get into risk of life.
I have debt of $35000. Myself saved $2500 in BTC on an exchange with the plan of trading. My mind wavered it takes time to make money out of trading. Myself deposited into a gambling platform. Started to gamble. Within few minutes it all got emptied. Then on my mind didn't work, everytime it thinks of the lost money and the way to recover it. Borrowed another $2000 from my friend and this too got washed out.
Further went for another borrow. This time it was $1000, and made it grow little by little and reached $4500. The greed making $1000 more caused me empty my wallet once again. Further went for a loan, this time it is very big. Bought Bitcoin for about $9500 and started to gamble. This went to $14000. By then my mind remembered of the $35000 debt. So, continued with big rolls and the end result is a empty wallet. Finally within the 31 days what I've made is nothing, but raised my debt from $35000 to $47500 and has lost my savings of $2500. After all even thought of ending my life(now that's not in me). Never do the same as me. Now I've promised myself to take a break from gambling.

This is raw, but never think of ending your life, that is not going to solve anything and your loved ones are going to be terribly sad for what happened, I am not going to lie you have a difficult road ahead of you and you will have to make huge efforts to not make more mistakes like this and to pay the debts you owe, the first thing to do is to get a job, any job, this will not only give you some income but it will help your mind to not think of gambling or anything else that will be so damaging for you at the moment.
