Topic: Dont chase your loss - page 4. (Read 3123 times)

Yes as I said above, and the reason is that gambling is always about uncertainty which means that you will never know when the time you can win and therefore obviously some precautions should be taken and prioritized during the involvement, not least because yes after all this is the best approach if you are involved in gambling so that you can stay in the safe zone in the long run and also so that we avoid the possibility of addiction which as you say that addiction is a disease that is very difficult to cure which is where most addicts always end up in a downfall.

The only best option if you still want to engage in gambling is to put the intention and purpose for entertainment in gambling and never think about making money because there are so many facts in gambling that will never be able to make you succeed in actually being able to make money, and in fact the opposite will happen where instead of making money but you lose a lot, and the point is that I hope that you or whoever it is to always think and look at things rationally because then you will be able to make decisions that really make sense.

I've heard and read this many times before, no kidding. Even I have said this before, but the reality is, it's easier said than done. Everything changes when you are playing and getting reds. Your calmness will slowly be replaced by eagerness that will cause a player to become hot-headed. Unless you are a player who has a strong will, but most gamblers don't have that. It's like greediness is one of their character.

I don't think that "mentally disordered" is the best expression for a gambler who doesn't manage to stop himself from gambling after facing a loss. As imperfect humans, we don't always take the best or at least the most rational decisions, but this doesn't mean that we are impaired in any way either. People can fail and learn from their failures. People can learn when to stop and make better decisions in the future. Of course, planning ahead is very helpful too.

An ideal neuron always releases dopamine and alerts an ideal gambler to stop gambling at this moment. But a mentally disordered gambler can never stop himself from gambling even when he faces a loss.
But when an ideal gambler faces a loss in gambling, he does not chase the loss to recover the loss but temporarily refrains from gambling and mentally settles himself and takes further action.

Yup, the correct balance and the timing when you are playing got a big factor in terms of winning decently, like what you just mentioned there are gambler who loves to push for more either they are in the winning or losing side, they overspend their money and time just to please their desire of gambling, I guess there's who called as wise and experienced gamblers, they manage to win something since they know when to stop.

Also, they know how to timingly place their bets with the knowledge that they possess about the game that they pick for their gambling activities.

At some point, the gambler stops thinking and only acts. If they had the privilege of thought, the player would have stopped playing long ago. I don't think anybody is happily chasing losses in gambling. That's out of the gambling context. Gamblers, even freshers never had in mind to behave this way. Hardly were they told of such problems. Most of the gamblers only had the generalized knowledge of win or loss. Rarely were they prepared to face the dangers of being a honey badger in gambling. Chasing a goal related to money in gambling is wrong. And it's worse not to be concerned about the challenges that come back disturbing us after chasing those lost funds. These unexpected mistakes cornered them without notice.

The player at first thinks all is cool, he could stop anytime. Yet as time creeps by he'd find it impossible to break free. Their thoughts get deceived to accept they need to strike harder to break through the problem.

But the more they wager the harder the borders get harder. Hence, these players at some level get tired of doing this and will sincerely seek help. The journey is so weary that nobody will ever want to go back into addiction. The problem with naive players is that they get nervous about this, which is meant not to be happening. We all want to win and feel nervous over a penalty shoot-out, but not to the extent of forgetting ourselves. Not realizing when the fear is hurting us, is wrong. Self-conscious players get to examine themselves and figure out if some issues, internally, bother them. Gambling is limited because of the untold personal challenges players need to solve. Everyone must gamble with care not to become a victim.

All of us have that want to wager and win big. People, gambling without a clear brain is a recipe for disaster. Your emotions impair your judgement, converting a measured risk into a desperate gamble. Chase losses or wins? That guarantees financial ruin

Consider your health. That gambling rush? Double whammy. It boosts adrenaline but harms your health. A mistake step on a tightrope and you're done. Don't even mention gambling to relax. Like using petrol to extinguish a fire. This worsens things

The key to wise gambling is awareness. Knowing risks, setting limitations, and realising the house always wins. You're not here to gamble to relax. So breathe deeply the next time you want to wager. Consider whether the risk is worthwhile. Casinos are the only ones guaranteed to win

recisely. Patience is indeed a virtue in gambling and in life.Luck may not always be on our side, but how we play the cards we're dealt - that's something we can control. Always play with mindfulness and remember to enjoy the ride, not just the destination.

Just like every other user over here, I think no one will want to accept chasing after losses and most times, people forget that these action of cheating after losses are mostly done unconsciously and most times we only get to realize this after blowing the account and already left with their regrets.
On the other hand, we have to realize that, their are people who would want to gamble more after a win and there are people that want to gamble more after losses and the ability for a gambler to balance this actions are what also contributes to our successes in gambling and chasing after losses are actions that we might not realize that we’re already chasing after losses until we’re exhausted.

Rich people usually gamble for fun, so poor gamblers should never gamble for money. Because once you face losses, you will be in debt and will only put pressure on the family. Because whenever you start gambling for money, your brain is not in the right place due to various pressures and you will not be able to gamble properly and as a result you will face losses. So if you participate in risk free gambling you will be more likely to win.

Sure. Every gambler has their own way to control themselves. But we must know some matters to be controlled well. Each gambler must limit their funds and time in gambling, this is the key to gamble in a proper way. If they have no specific allocation, they will be easy to lose money. When we are playing gambling, sometimes we forget to keep money for gambling tomorrow. If we don't allocate specific funds, we may lose all of them in a day. In my own way, I only store the funds in my gambling account to gamble for a day or few days only. I set a limit to use the funds daily, I won't try to break the limit. When it reaches the limit, I will stop gambling.

True. When we are gambling, we tend to lose money. It is difficult to earn money from gambling. If we target to earn big money, I think gambling isn't a proper place. But if we want to enjoy the gambling games, it is the right place. Since it is just for entertainment and try our luck, we don't need to gamble excessively. We must always remember that we still have tomorrow to play gambling games again.

It is true that every gambler has their own differences in controlling themselves when gambling and of course as gamblers we must have self-control by using this control well so that we do not act and think carelessly when carrying out gambling activities.
Your opinion is absolutely right, don't chase losses that have already occurred or think about getting back the money you lost because that will actually make us even more miserable because in gambling, in fact, there are more losses than wins, so we have to be able to understand these two sentences well.

People do really get blinding up themselves even if its really that pretty obvious on where it would really be going specially if you do prolong your gambling session on which you are really that bound to lose in the end of the line and this is something that you should really be expecting in the end but people do really make themselves getting blinded with their greed or simply with their addiction.

Its never been that recommended that you would really be having that kind of chasing up your loses because if you would really be just that making the situation gotten more worst.
It might really be that directly giving out that kind of result or outcome but it doesnt mean that you would really be just making yourself that blind or doesnt care at all.
You would be finding yourself having that hard recovery once you do have that kind of problem.

Some times all bad outcome in gambling is not because of poor emotional balance because at some point we already know that gambling outcome are unpredictable and no matter what the level of your emotional stability is, you can still lose at any game, although some time where emotional involvement can be check is when we are taking the bets and what the direction we look at it from, e.g when we surpose to take a break and we decide to take extra bet just because our last bet was a lose, this point we are chasing our loses which is not a good thing to do at any time in gambling, because regardless how you feel, the reality is that you can still predict the result of your next game.

chasing your lose is the most dangerous part that someone have to avoid because when someone decides to chasing he/her lose they end up losing everything because this has happened to a friend of my that was involved in buy dip and the dip go dipper which he was frustrated a coin he bought for 50 dollars run down to $1 then he decided to buy another $70 when it was dipper and was waiting for it to raise within two days so that he can get all he had invested, that is how my friend end up in losing everything and it all about chasing lose.

I'm sure you're stuck in a cycle of chasing wins to recover or to get back what you've lost, the problem here is that you don't have the ability to accept the fact of losing at gambling so in the end you're unable to stop and instead continue playing in the hope and belief that you'll be able to get back the money you've lost.

Maybe I would say that you have entered the fse of addiction where you are stuck in the cycle of chasing victory to restore something that has been lost, and as you said that when you lose you always think that maybe in the next round you will win which you also think that victory will bring you to the point of recovery, but I will say that actually it is nothing more than your feelings or illusions that are not based on any guarantee to actually be able to realize victory. My advice is better end it all buddy, believe me that if you continue to follow your feelings then in the end you will only be in a worse situation, chasing victory in gambling is like you are chasing your own shadow, and better let go of all that has been lost and change your approach and mindset in a more correct and reasonable direction, I suggest you to think rationally.

Therefore, what we have control over ourselves is different, because if we don't have it, the chances are high that we will chase our losses when we experience them.
The more they chase the loss they lost, the more the chances that it will never be recovered increase.

Because luck is getting further and further away from them, they think that when they try to chase it, luck is close to them, but in reality, that is not the real reality that is happening.

We keep hearing the word don't chase your loses but it is obvious that many of us still chasing loses and the only way we could go about it without much stress is for us to always gamble when we are relaxed. Relaxation could make us make money from gambling if we are prepared and gamble without pressure.

Pressure could bring loses to us especially when we want to make money by all means even when we are losing. Sometime when we are losing, we need to make sure that we relax and take time to leave gambling for a while so that we don't use the pressure to hurt ourselves with plenty of loses since that could attract loses that could never be avoided.

Recently, I couldn't bring myself to stop playing slots. It was like an addiction that took over me completely. Every time I lost, I felt disappointed, but I kept playing, hoping for luck.

The trouble is that in this problem it seems that victory will come in the next spin, or after him, or later. But in fact, the player becomes like a donkey with a carrot in front of him.

Knowing when to stop is an important skill to practice and develop
Its a must
If you let the dopamine rush dominate you you’re lost and will end up alone in the corner.

Don’t let it dominate you.
Remember this.

Always be alert and watch your actions
