We all know that gambling is one of the most frustrating things we can encounter in our plays and some of them cannot handle themselves. Gambling is one of the most easier ways to make and earn money and gambling is one of the riskiest things to lose your money immediately sometimes we are on a good side that we are earning a lot of profit which is good because it can double up our money but sometimes the luck is not in our side and loss a lot of money some of them when they are losing is double their wage to earn back immediately and this kind of process is not quite good because it increases your risk again. Some of them are taking a break for a while just to make them mind peacefully before playing again which is good because if you are not mentally stable and emotional there is a chance that you may make a wrong decision. On my side, one thing that I do too is making some analysis about the things I made wrong to identify my mistakes and what are the possible thing I could do you make an improvement on my self and win those games again.
Diverting my attention into other things to atleast give space myself to overthink about my huge losses in gambling like watching movies, etc. It really helps. Rather than thinking how to get back what we have lose because the fire emotion is still there and it doesn't really help you to recover so I may suggest to take a rest for days in gambling before playing again.
These are good tips because it comes from your own experience and can contribute for a person addicted to the game to overcome the problems of gambling.
Self-control and keeping the mind busy is what he recommends to decrease anxiety for compulsive gamblers is the key that stands out in these tips.
There are also good responses and techniques from members with their gambling activities that can help other members recover from gambling addictions.
Thank you all for your contribution. I feel like in therapy.

Gamblers should take heed all the point you've mentioned, but it all boils down to losing control, if a gambler cannot manage his emotion anymore, then he is going to lose everything he had, it's better for a gambler that if he is losing control that he bring along a friend who is not a gambler and reminds him when to stop, or when he is out of control.
Good thread and gamblers can pick so much from it, but as a gambler it's easier to say this but when gambling -maybe is the tension/heat- you may not think of those things at that time. Although experience is one thing i count on in seriously tensed gambling time,
Gamblers needs to do more intellect than feelings. More loses comes when you don't know when to raise the white flag and end the session.
It is really hard when you are out of control and never knows how to stick to our limitations. Gamblers needs to do more intellect than feelings. More loses comes when you don't know when to raise the white flag and end the session.
As usual, gamblers will mostly suffer losses than of winning against the house and that because we are chasing to win even though we can't. Even though we have those OP's with us but keeping it and following it all the time is really a big challenge for everyone. Why? It is because we are losing our minds and can't even think all of them when we are in gambling and much more if we lose already.
Just to tell this, one way to help us out from losing is not to gamble anymore.
Author, good topic, but i would tell that 4 and 5th points it's a little useless. Yeah, 4th point which tells us to work on our failures and analyze game it's good, you should always do it during all your life in different situations (not only in gambling), but is it really good advises regarding to the great loss in gambling?
If anyone worried so much about money loss, maybe he shouldn't play with such high (relative to him) stakes? If after the game he thinks like "Oh, i should better to use this money for something more useful" maybe the best advice to him (after point 1, 2, 3) will be something like that:
4. Do not play for money which you can't allow yourself to lose. Gambling it's like entertainment, do not spend on this too much
What's your thoughts, eh?

I would correct your point a little if I may. In the rare cases when I gamble I follow this rule.
Determine in advance the amount you want to spend when gambling. And never go beyond it.
And best of all, if you go to the casino, take only this amount of money, and leave the rest at home.
The main reason is not ambition and attempts to return lost money. This is the addiction itself. Try to find inveterate players who have won large sums of money and can end up with gambling - what do they do? Of course they continue to play. I have several such acquaintances.
I don't know if I understood exactly the situation you mentioned, but yes, everyone who gambling does not continue because it loses money. Some players want to increase that win more as they earn big wins in their first games and therefore continue to play. In fact, this situation is due to the inability of the person to manage his will and to make more money, just as I mentioned in earning psychology. For this reason, people who want to gamble to really enjoy or earn money must first control their own will.
You misunderstood me. I try to show that the reason that addicted people are gambling is not a financial issue, but a matter of addiction. How can we check this? You need to look at those gamblers who won the jackpot and solved all their financial problems and secured themselves for life. All the same, they continue to play without even needing money. This means that the main reason for their gambling is gambling addiction.

Much needed thread indeed. Almost everyone who gambled, at least once, lost a fair bit of money. Gambling and money loss often are synonyms, if someone doesn't know how to play and how to respond when he gets himeself in odd gambling situations. People need to learn how they should bet what they can afford losing.
For me this is the best advice with all the 5 tips that you shared.
Controlling your emotions is very easy to say but in reality it is very hard to manage when you are in an actual gambling casino. A gambler who doesn't know how to control their emotions has a higher chance of losing their money compare to a gamble who knows how to control it.
Not managing your emotions will lead to stress and over the time, it will lead to serious depression that may change your life "FOREVER" so before spending too much in gambling make sure that you are ready to face the consequences that you may face if the worst situation happen to you.
Controlling your emotions can be extremely difficult when you are in a physical casino, the whole casino is designed with only one idea on mind and that is to separate you from your money, this is why many casinos offer free drinks to the customers that are making high bets regardless if you're winning or losing, because if you're losing money then alcohol is going to make you to bet even more money and they will obtain more profits out of you, and if you are winning alcohol could create a lapse in your judgment and make you lose money as a result of this, but one easy way to avoid this fate is to only bring the money that you are willing to lose to the casino that way even if you lose control you are not going to lose as much money. Controlling your emotions is very easy to say but in reality it is very hard to manage when you are in an actual gambling casino. A gambler who doesn't know how to control their emotions has a higher chance of losing their money compare to a gamble who knows how to control it.
Not managing your emotions will lead to stress and over the time, it will lead to serious depression that may change your life "FOREVER" so before spending too much in gambling make sure that you are ready to face the consequences that you may face if the worst situation happen to you.
Many gamble could not manage their emotion when lucky with become winner always try to make discussion to continue for gambling without take safety how much money earn after win, they try to going on and keep make bet but will get lost until their money gone and wake up after nothing have any more, when you make trade or gambling you must have to stop and never continue anymore.
Out of all comments I have been seen above your posts, I can't imagine why this post was given by 3 merits. You've been quoting my whole post, hm. I think this is suspicious. Anyway, thanks for your reply.Yes, many gamblers can't manage their emotions. Even in trading, if there is money involve all of us feel nervous.
Snip...
We have to limit ourselves because it is really hard to overcome our loss specially if it is really large. 100$ a day for me is really high, I am betting 100$ once in a while.The only thing you can remember when you lose is regret. Your regrets in betting that time, that's why many of us are angry after a lose in gambling.
2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss
I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.

When we are aggressive in regaining our losses that is the time that we are pressured, that we become easily angry in small things, sometimes depressed to the point that we can't think normally. Maybe we can avoid this to happen again if we only intend an amount that we can afford to lose before we start playing in aday. Like for example $100 per day only. If that grow, then save it but we lose it all then stop. In that case, we are not pressured to regain it since we can afford to lose it in the first place.
1. Manage your emotion
Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.
I think this is the most important part in gambling and investing. Having a clear perspective of the game you play or stocks you invest in and being able to live with the loss is so important. It's all about being able to think rational. If a big loss affectives your decision making in a negative way - you need to step back and take a break. I remember seeing a documentary about successful gamblers in Vegas talking about being broke. Most of these guys ended up in life being a few times completely broke. And they managed to jump back.
Thats also a reason why many successful people are so much into sports. It works wonders on your brain to release stress with exercise, escpially outdoors.
We can see that people who are addicted to gambling often lose money due to ambition and try to regain their money by gambling again. That is why such people are unable to control their own personal feelings and constantly lose money. On the other hand, I know that such people often gamble to regain their losses and as a result lose money. Here, because of these psychological problems and problems such as not being able to control their own will, people constantly lose money and cannot prevent this situation.

Its just been part because you wont be addicted if those things arent in your mind and of course if you do chase up loses and had ambition to make yourself rich with gambling.
Then you would particular end up on getting addicted because these are the main goal that you are aiming on and later on you would really get used to it until you realized that
you already messed up everything. Regrets do always come in the end and doesnt show up on the start thats why its better to be aware on our actions because facing up
consequences.
Every gambler really knows the risks that we take in playing online casino. Some of us ended in a great stress because of losing a lot of money in gambling. But because we are enjoying the games specially the slots, we always pulled by our desires to play again. I made this thread to give some tip to overcome a big loss in gambling.
Let assume that you lose worth of 3,000 USD in gambling.
1. Manage your emotion
Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.
2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss
I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.
3. Turn your attention in other activities
We need a new refreshing activity that will unwind our feelings. Get up and have some fun activities because you will gradually recover. I don't know if it works with other but everytime I have problems in my computer or I lose money in gambling. I stay away from it in few hours, I play basketball and other stuffs. After that, I conclude and realize some of my mistakes and how can I come in solution.
If you just in front of your computer even you do some stuff, there is always temptation that you need to play more. And if that so, number 2 in the list will happen.
4. Read more strategies in playing that game or assess your past performance
I know that whatever you do, you will not escape the temptation of gambling. It always attract our desires to win again. But before you play again, realize everything why do you defeat before.
Have you been a greedy in placing bets? Did you always feel positive with your cards? Did you underestimate the game? Realize everything and make sure that you must have your new strategy to win the game. But take note, it isn't an assurance that you will win this time.
5. Just enjoy your future games
Who cares if you lose? As long as you release your stress. Don't make the gambling as your job, because if you will push to win, you will become greed. Bet only the amount you afford to lose. Just like trading, if you need your money more than you want. Stay away in gambling. If you deposit bitcoin in online casino, assume that it will burn.
The bottom line of this is that, don't make gambling as your passive income. Remember, gambling can make you a millionaire but it makes you also poor. Just make it for entertainment so that there are no regrets if your bitcoin burned.
I know that the example is really exaggerated, but there are gamblers lose that much. And the only thing that I have seen, they can't really handle their loss. But don't worry, after a rain there is always a sunshine.
I am always open for opinion and discussion.
Goodluck in your bets.

Basically, losses are something unavoidable in gambling. If you don't want to lose money, why do you gamble? 
Gambling isn't the right place for people who worry about losses and focus on profits only. Once you gamble, you must accept the risk of a possible loss.
Regarding avoiding a big loss, you must remember these common suggestions:
1. Gamble what you can afford to lose.
2. Limit your funds.
That's it, boy!
