A losing streak is what discourages most gamblers and some believe that it is hard to get rid.
Its hard to get rid of bad luck isnt it? Rather its better to forget about bad luck and look on the bright side of things. Because no one can influence luck - you have to deal with it.

Quote
Some superstitious people may even believe that having a losing streak would mean that you are bad luck for a long period of time, and that you would have to do something to revert it.
The more you think about bad luck the worse it is going to get. You will start to realize the bad things in life more than the good things which will make you feel depressed.

Quote
Sometimes even losing just once would make you feel bad, the more when you lose many times consecutively. The only way a gambler could overcome this is accepting the defeat and continue playing.
You were saying the correct thing but made a mistake in the last part. To accept defeat is to stop playing and not continue it. If they continue playing then they will continue losing as well.

I know that every one of us had this day when we all thought that it's our day but it's not. I myself honestly say that there are still times that I lose control of everything when this happens, I tend to get frustrated immediately (especially when it comes to poker) when I know that I have a losing card. It makes my day from bad to worst. How do you handle your frustrations when losing streak strikes?

Though before I've reached a point in where I'll be having a thought of chasing my loses, I'll leave the table and look for a dessert or sometimes when I bring my car, there's a clothing that I can rip just to let my frustrations out. (It may sound absurd but it really works for me, after that my mind is clear, no frustrations then I'll go back and finish my visit)

Leaving the table after losing streak strikes was a good idea mate but tuining things like ripping off your clothing? I don’t think it was a good move let go of being frustrated. Personally, after having a bad cards redundantly like 5 times in a row then that would be a signal that i need to stop. So what i usually do is to have a cup of coffee and went home straight to my house. Just forget what happened in a casino because i can’t went home with my frustrations and don’t want to affect my kids with what had happened outside our home.

Losing streaks are like Achilles heel to most of us.

It's hard to walk away when you just want to cover up the losses. Ended up rage betting and then poof!
Achilles Heel is used to denote some weakness of an object which is in general strong. What you are saying is a common attitude of gamblers and not a weakness. Its very common for them to chase losses and get into even bigger losses. That does not mean it is their weakness. It is the reason they are addicted.

The streaks of losing can be actually easily be controlled provided you have a control on yourself.  If one cannot control them self then what to tell as they will not only lose their money but also will lose out the funds borrowed from other parties and eventually might even become bankrupt.
They are humans and thus they get controlled by emotions. If they lose money they become desperate to win it back and thus the consequences. It is too late by the time they actually realize that the losses keep on escalating.

It is because we are fall into our emotions and it is hard to control such feeling of dissapointment. Self-discipline is so simple to understand but in actual it is really hard.
Yes because we want to get our lost money back which causes the tension,so we are just continue to bet and bet until win but each time we lose we get the feel that we are going to lose our more money but at the other side our mind will keep telling to continue so the unclear mine causes the losing more and more because of not concentrating on games.

Control is not something that you could actually rely on when it comes to gambling, I mean it is not only the thing you must have in order not to lose any or your streaks, there is lot that you must consider, though it can't change the fact that gambling is mostly about losing your money on every bet you are going to have. We are saying that we must have this and that, but we didn't realize that it is not enough to win against the house, even the truth is, it is way more than that.

It is not an Achilles heel but something to get a revenge on. Well, a lot of gamblers always go to gambling sites, casinos to take what they had lost. Apparently they always lose since it is gambling we are talking about. It is really hard to walk away with a lot of losses you had made in a single day but it is not hard to walk in a casino to try and regain what you had lost.

I think what a lot of newbies don't realize is how quickly streaks can come, especially when those who only played fiat before come to crypto gambling. I remember I could spend hours at a online casino and still spend only $30 dollars in total (or lose, whatever haha). Every hand, every roll, took time. Maybe minutes per outcome.

Then I discovered crypto (dice is the culprit) and you had sites that let you bet 10 times/rolls in one click. You have autobet that lets you leave your PC running and claim thousands of rolls in an hour... then for sure you'll see streaks all the time.

15x on double streaks? every hour. Easy.

Gambling is like trading too, you have to learn how to control your emotions. If in trading there is this FOMO, in gambling there's this trying to beat the system attitude. You are already in a losing streak, you already lost 40% of your funds, what do you do? Still hit roll button? or you fold? I would fold and call it a day. I would rather keep the remaining 60% of my funds and comeback some other time when luck is on my side. Greed will not help you win back those loses but will only bury you do a deeper hole or maybe dept.

Lol. I like how to put it dude. But yeah is one of the worst feeling that most of the time you blame everyone even the dealer or the person next to you for bringing you bad luck. I even have to blame that slot machine I played because it always crippled my bankroll. hahahaha. But this losing streak was part of the game as well, and we should learn how to control ourselves and not to be in this situation because it really sucks.
yes it will happen when we are really hit by a continuous defeat so that anything that concerns ourselves either internal or external will be carried away emotions and emotionally angry our anger or others.

We forget the wins but always remember the losses. It feels that it takes a lot of effort to win a couple of bucks but its easier to lose money real fast. Every time I get on a losing streak I keep betting the same amount, its a bad idea to be doubling up your betting amount, never worked for me anyway.

Take some time off and get a different hobby, then come back betting with the same reasoning like you used to.

one form that must be passed for the gamblers to win here the test and the trial that must be passed if we fail the stress will hit us because the gamble is full of emotional ties.
Absolutely right but first a gambler should judge himself if he is going well then it is okay to continue gambling. On the other hand if a gambler is not comfortable so he should stop it because it may lead towards loss. The first priority is to master your self in a game and then start gambling after which you will know how to make instant money and the probability will be yours.
many people are frustrated at gambling. and the cause is none other than because they make gambling a source of income. and when they lose they will play crazier. so the essence of what I'm saying is, we should not take the gambling as so much income that it will not eat our emotions when gambling

I think they need to clear their mind to not using gambling as a source of income because this is really difficult for them. this will make them become frustrations because they cannot win any games and they losing too much money. it is better that they can think that it is their time to stop gambling and considering the other thing to make money. and if they can do this, I am sure that their mind will not think about playing gambling and making money from gambling.

Well if it is a losing streak in casino games, then I guess there is nothing to do there. Losing in casinos is the normal way to go for the long run, so no point in chasing losses, or trying to come up with winning strategies. People must know that they are trying their luck, and they could of course get lucky, but the normal thing is to lose. So people should be ok with losing, and just being grateful when they win.

As for poker, and other forms of gambling that do rely on a strategy to win, and not just luck, people should accept losing streaks as normal, and shouldn't really worry about it as well. That is just variance, and if they are playing well, and have a good strategy, they will eventually win in the long run.

So in either cases, a losing streak should never be a problem. They don't leave a good feeling when we get them, but we should accept them and move forward.
I agree with you my friend in this regard. If the person is losing continuously in gambling and is still willing to gamble, I think the committing biggest blunder in his life because a mature and conscious person would never do this thing because from losing the starting games, he would easily come to know that gambling is something that is not made for me.

It happens in the gambling world, If you hit a losing streak take a break for a little while, spend your money on something nice, take a trip or something. If it frustrates you you must take a little break, It's gambling you could go back tomorrow and win 10x's maybe today is just NOT YOUR DAY that is how I look at it!!!

when you get consecutive defeat, it's a good time to stop gambling. it could be lucky not to be with you, or you are not in a good mood while playing. it's better to quit when it's getting a streaks defeat.
Sometimes you can't because it's really hard to stop especially when you are not expecting you'll be in a cold streak.
I have been in the situation many times in my life, and it made me regret but until now I still do gambling, it seems like quitting is really hard because there is a fun in gambling although it's very risky.

Yeah there's always that urge to continue until you break a losing streak, which most of the time doesn't end too well. That's probably because people can't accept the fact that they've lost quite much and is eager or desperate to recover losses, and losing more in the process
In the end if we ran our of money, that is the time to regret and maybe we can have a clear idea to see our mistakes but the big question is
are we gonna learn from that mistakes? In some cases, yes but only temporary because in our heart we always want to gamble, so it's  just like making a sin over and over again after we repent.
it is hard if it is fixated on people who like to gamble, no matter how the talk from outside will not be heard must from within yourself to stop if still has not stopped when getting something like this means he still has not given up in playing the game just wait there will also be a time to stop.
