Topic: Dangerous chasing losses - page 14. (Read 2983 times)

Yes, but we still want to try it. That's because we think it's not completely true, and we still want to prove it. Often, our mind already knows what the result will be, but we just want to prove that we are wrong and continue gambling. However, in reality, it will be like what we think. That's what happens to most gamblers. When they think that continuing to gamble is not good for them because they could lose even bigger, they continue because they hope to win. We have all been in conditions like that, so we have had experiences that we can share with other people.

Yes, there is no secret behind it, but we are in the wrong because we have obeyed egos and desires that we cannot accept that we lost. People who don't know this usually cannot accept loss and are still willing to try to recover their losses even though they know that it will not increase their chances of winning. And they keep making the same mistakes if they don't start to realize it.

Chasing losses is actually normal and natural, most gamblers do it when they have lost some money in their previous gambling session but most of the time they deny that they are chasing losses
Dangerous or not is absolutely depending on ourselves, it is fine to chase lose as long as we still have a limit when we are chasing losses.
Lets say we lost $100 yesterday, and we are planning gambling again in the next upcoming days, we should limit on how much to lose and how much to chase.
Both limit are important because when we are in the chasing moment and we have actually get what we have lost, usually we are not stopping but we continue playing because of our greed.

When a player starts Looking for money to Recover his losses , what Happens is that when we are not in the casino, we Usually do things the best we can , for this we Always have a little money to lose. , but it is clear that there are times when control is lost and more money and more money can be put in, when we do not commit money that we Should not spend is where the Problems Come, for this reason we must make sure that every time I have one more Gaming Session We have to be very Careful , that is why when we are about to win or win, we must do many thing s, First when we Win or we are winning if we put in a lot of money, and then we lose, the first thing that comes to mind is winning. , and bet more to keep Betting, then What can we do ? The Most likely thing is to bet more, and Therein lies the danger because if a person does Not control themselves, the losses will be many.

I'm sure that at some Point you haven't gotten past that , Because we can do many Things , we can't chase Losses because that's what makes us do things Wrong , when We chase losses in a very risky way what we can Achieve is more losses, then that Should not be Done, when we are in that case we have to give everything of ourselves to be able to have a better Understanding of the game, if a lot of money was lost in a game , the best we can is to turn the page and Oh, we can't continue there, because otherwise the results will be bad, we have to proceed in another way, going to the casino on another day, or in a week, depending on when the impact of the loss has Worn off , that's what Smarter than we can do, if we can do that and overcome that , I think that if we are maturing as players, the main thing here is to learn that when we lose we have to do things that can Make us lose more , sometimes our Logic fails Because the Casinos will make us Lose , the System is likeThat.

Yes I agree because indeed precautions are one of the important parts that should be applied by gamblers, this is very risky gambling, I hope that anyone already understands about the worst effects that exist in gambling, so with that I think they will know about what they should do as a precaution so that something unwanted does not happen or maybe just to minimize.

One of the impacts that they can feel from gambling involvement is like you said and depression is more likely to occur and besides that it is clear that financial problems will occur when you bring the wrong mindset to gambling. I'm not going to say that it's completely wrong, because obviously winning will happen to every gambler, but on the other hand we have to pay attention to the fact that there is no consistency and no guarantee in gambling so this really has to be considered.

Agree with that, in terms of money allocation is indeed the first point in my opinion that must be considered, do not put money that you absolutely cannot be responsible for any results that will occur at the end of the session, because it will determine how much impact you have to face and whether you are a responsible gambler or not. If they already have this kind of mentality and also with the right mindset then I think they will know what actions to take when defeat is happening to them, and one more thing, there is absolutely no possible opportunity for them to chase losses because obviously gambling is not a place to make money.

Really, you're not a regular or an addict gambler? But your screenshots shows like you are one of it. And I'm sure this wasn't the first or the last, but I hope you can recover and change your gambling activity drastically. You said you are sick.

You already took a day off, so you should use that to take a rest. Gambling is a worse idea to do for the person who have a bad experience about it, but good for you that you have recovered your losses and still end's up as a winner. If not, the regret must be heavy if you don't have any money left, but some gamblers will take a loan, sell stuffs, do crime, etc.. only to try again. This is one of the dark and scary side of it.

When someone thinks they’re in total control all the time to a point where he’ll be doing exactly what he should not and still be thinking he’s in control.
But i would disagree with your point that self confidence has never brought anyone any good. It has brought a lot of good to a person with self confidence. Self control is what really helps a man overcome a lot of things. A person could easily fall deep into any vices without self control.

Better to prevent and stop if possible before it's too late, depression is a possible outcome of what you did especially when you are not ready to lose a lot of money and you are using this venue to try making some, it's much better to play and use the money that you are willing to let go and have that kind of mentality to quit your way once you already suffer from losses that you set as limit before stepping inside this venue, otherwise you will suffer if you continue chasing your losses as your chance to recover most of the time is next to impossible.

Someone could really be able to easily make out some claims about having those control or whatsoever word that it would come out into their mouths but everything would really be reflecting out on the things that they've been doing.Yes, its easy to say but on the time that you are on the actual situation then things turns out to be a mess or something that you have already forgotten on what you had set out earlier.  Conditions like continuous losses on which it would really be creating that kind of emotion or feeling that will really be pushing you to the limit and this is something
that would really likely to happen. This is why its never been that good that you would be losing of control just because you have that losing that much, if you arent prepared to lose
money then dont gamble in the first place.

Yes, that's why the person who can cure depression is basically yourself. If the person is willing to open up to other people, the problems they experience will be slightly reduced because other people will feel sympathy and concern for them, but if the person who is depressed is reluctant to talk and is closed about it. The problem is that it is very difficult to recover because the burden he is carrying is very heavy and the depression can get worse.

Yes, before it's too late, it would be good for us to think carefully first, because depression will appear suddenly when someone experiences a big loss because they are too excessive and expect a lot to win at gambling. If you think like that continuously it will make the condition worse. and far from luck winning. And we must prevent this from an early age with the best possible self-control.

Listen bug, if someone thinks that they are in full control, then this is the first step to losing control.
You should always question your control and have a sufficient level of self-criticism and reflection for constant development. If you think that this is not about you, then that's your business, but self-confidence has not brought anyone to good. As well as not being able to communicate with interlocutors is disrespectful.

Speak for yourself bug, if you can not control yourself in gambling, that does not mean that no body else can do it.
And again, addiction is not scary, and you can sure know how much addicted you are into gambling if you pay attention to your self and your activities and actions in gambling.

Someone who is conscious wit their gambling activities need not be told when they are already going out of control in gambling. There is what we call self-awareness.

Bring aware of yourself helps you understand yourself, your activities and your surroundings, a gambler who is self aware will know how to control him or herself from gambling overboard, in order to avoid unnecessary losses and possible addiction to gambling.

I beg to disagree.

People can master controlling their emotions and urges. We are the highest form of being in the planet and we have the capability to think and analyze the things we will do. Every actions that a gambler will make is a result of his own judgment. If a gambler will decide to gamble for fun, it's because he wants to relax and have a hobby to destress from the toxicity happening around. He will not go overboard if he is disciplined enough to know the repercussions of gambling once he go past his limits.

But if a person doesn't really want to make a difference, do not strive to have a goal in mind or a reason why he is gambling, the probability of him overspending and frequently playing more often than what's supposed to will probably what will happen. As a result, he could fall into addiction that's very challenging to recover from if a person is not willing enough. Relapse could also happen because of weak self-control. Which is why it's still better to prevent addiction from happening rather than curing it once it sets on.

So if any newbie is lurking around here that is curious to gamble, remember to be firm to your limitations and do not sacrifice your discipline and good gambling attitude.

Or simply thinking gambling when you first wake up and wanted to play and recover because last night it was just losing streak for you. Experience that thing before, and as soon as I wake up I wanted to play right away online. But when I go back and think about it, it's wrong mindset to begin with. But as you have said, it's hard to control oneself when you are addicted.

But I was able to snap and no longer the way I played. Of course sometimes I have to scratch my itch to play, but I have set certain limits now and my budget. And if I ever lost, I never chase and just enjoy the game.

No man can control himself completely. Addiction is just scary because no one can notice how much he is already addicted to gambling or other gambling. For example, the inability to promise yourself not to gamble for a while, for a year, may be the initial sign of gambling addiction. Therefore, you need not only to be able to analyze yourself, but also to share your inner state with other people.

Keeping your emotions in a stable state might be difficult, especially in times of the same situation as you. Recently winning with a huge amount gives confidence to each gambler and makes them think of the possibility of winning more. However, once what you thinking does not happen, it causes the loss of control of your emotions and will lead to chasing your losses.

This commonly happens in every gambler. Even for some who consider gambling as a stress reliever or doing it mainly to have fun, a lot of them end up emotionally invested in the game. Making it hard to control the emotion and forget how to control it.

      -  When a person suffers or goes through depression, it is not easy for that person to overcome it because it is a battle between himself, and if he does not overcome it, he will surely destroy it himself.

That's why you are right that if there are people around him who know or feel what he is going through, these people make the person who is going through depression feel that it is not too late to change. So if you are in a situation where you are always losing, the simple thing to do is stop for a while because there will be another day or chance to make up for what we have lost, because one day you will be lucky too.

It is true that basically there are quite a lot of things that have the potential to make someone depressed, and one of the things that must be done as a preventive measure I think by trying to indicate whether the activity you are going to do can have an impact on your mental and psychological damage or not, if indeed it can have an impact then I hope you don't do it or just reduce it. One of the activities that can make you suffer from depression and which is very possible is the gambling we are discussing, if you have a character that is easily provoked and easily upset when something does not go your way then it is better to avoid gambling, this is especially for those who have never gambled or who just want to get into gambling, I hope you can recognize your own character and also see what impacts there are in gambling so that you don't regret it because you realized it too late. And also yes of course for the worst impact that has happened a lot is that they will suffer a lot of financial problems in their lives, that's obvious.

They should really understand about the risks they can face in gambling, and also be more familiar with the concept of luck, not only so that they can become responsible gamblers by accepting all the final results even if they are bad. I believe that by understanding that, they will not dare to chase defeat.

That is very true. Even though we have strict financial control, for me there are still emotional moments due to losing and when conditions like that happen we usually spend more money than usual to gamble. I often lose control when I get a big win the previous day and the next day I usually budget more money for gambling, and as usual when I get a big win then the next day will be a nightmare, and I spend some of yesterday's winnings.

And this is what this story demonstrates, there are many people out there which believe that only addicted gamblers will suffer huge losses when they gamble, but the truth is that no one has perfect control over their emotions, so something that begins as just another gambling session can degenerate into massive losses just because of a lapse in your judgment, consequentially gamblers need to always keep their emotions in check, and as soon as they bet more than what they wanted during a session they should stop immediately or huge losses may come their way.

Whatever the strategy, method, if a gambler always has the intention to chase losses, in the end, what they experience is usually the opposite. in most cases, gamblers who chase losses are usually trapped in their own mindset. especially when it involves losses in the past, this is what actually makes a person's condition worse when gambling. who in the end, experience bankruptcy or become addicts. However, at least we have to be balanced in responding to things. Some very lucky gamblers can get big wins while chasing losses. not infrequently, someone gets the jackpot. even though, if we compare, there are more losers than winners. 

Well, referring to what you said, the concept should be like that. In principle, we do not need to remember the losses we have suffered. But with a note, play normally as usual. If we lose today there is still another day to play again, while recovering our condition from angry emotions and at the same time making our minds healthy. Well, if we talk about playing to win, it would be very natural for every gambler to want it.  It's just how we respond to it in each game session. After all, winning and losing is a normal thing. For me, it's not a problem to have no intention of winning a decent amount of money. but more to the point, are we able to engage in self-control, so that we don't get caught up in the feelings and desires of our own minds.
