Topic: How did you feel about your first lose in gambling? - page 2. (Read 516 times)

In my case, on my first day I had no idea how to analyze the games, the only thing that went through my head was that I should focus on betting on the big teams when they played against weak teams, I thought that by doing that I would not lose. But right away on my first bet I lost and I was very sad because when I placed the bet I was very confident that I would win. After I saw that I lost, I did not accept it and I made another bet in which I was again very confident that this time I would be right. But I lost again and I was very sad. That is why I kept betting to recover my losses, but I lost again many times until my balance was small and I decided to bet everything and this time I did not have any high expectations, but I was right and stopped playing for a long time.

Euphoria when you’re winning and regret when you lose are just some of the emotions that usually come with gambling. In situations like this, the line of our emotions can easily distract us from the fact that you cannot predict the outcome of gambling. It is this which makes the self aware of finances when deciding to gamble. Before we start the activities related to this, we will set clear boundaries which will clean balance and shall not be disappointed when the activities fail.

Instead of hoping for us to get lucky, what’s better for us is to focus on other ways we can manage finances in a more stable and sustainable way. This activity can be more game without involving money involved for primary life necessities. This allows us to play the game without the pressure applied to us, and we have the power over our financial condition at the same time.

Disappointed for sure - I was full sure I made the correct decision for my bet.
I was looking forward to collecting my winnings, I had the amount I would win calculated
and knew how I would spend the winnings... but my bet lost!

And the second one lost too when I was chasing the losses.

I quickly realised that I should treat gambling as a bit of entertainment and
not to try and make money on! I realised after a while that there were probably
people who were making money but I wasnt going to be one of them

I don't know if i ever wanted to make money on the first day of my attempt to gamble, since everything was orchestrated by my friend as at then, but everything was to the fact that am very eager to gamble, then we had the opportunity of doing that together and at the end, everything turned a loss with the copy betting in which i did together with him, we both lose, but the desperation to do more and continue begin to come in that i could actually seize more opportunities in gambling for me to be able to win maybe more subsequently, then i keep on trying till i become used to it, after losing the bet on the first day.

The same goes for me, I didn't feel that much as well. It's nothing at all. There is nothing special with the first ever lose that I've got and I think that most of us didn't have something special with that as well. What else? do we still remember that? I guess that many of us don't even remember that moment anymore. 

Something that often happens at the beginning of gambling, a gambler will say "it's better to use money for more important needs than gambling" (when experiencing loss).
But will say "I think gambling really helps me to get extra money" (condition when getting lucky or winning in the first gamble)
Conditions like this have often happened and occur when disappointment comes regretting the money that has been lost. Even though we forget that we have to gamble using money that we can afford to lose and avoid such disappointment.

For almost everyone that I've encountered and come across,the first loss experience clearly seems similar and related to each other.The first loss is literally not bad,it's just a medium to try new options and improve.The ideas that you listed out the first time sets out a mark for different observations and regardless, it's only few that recognizes them and tries to pickup.The first gambling attempt can be fun too.

I could remember those periods I started gambling for the first time I didn't expend an amount that was close to anything I could care much for and that made me had no hard feelings with each losses I had at different intervals.

I think I have been able to keep to that culture till date and it's been helpful in making me maintain a balanced healthy gambling lifestyle.  Perhaps for some persons who are struggling with bad gambling lifestyle today it could be as a result of how they started off from the very beginning.

Nothing. It's not much and maybe that is why I didn't even felt a thing. Also, most of what happened when I was starting was winning. It must be beginner's luck and I did somehow withdraw some money out of a small investment and made good profits.
But when it regards to losing, when I became a VIP, that's when I kept on losing and I can tell how a person can get so angry when he loses a huge chunk of his wallet. It doesn't need to be the first time, most gamblers will be in that position to be frustrated with the results of the bet.

In fact healthy gambling is always good, it's great that your first loss doesn't affect you too much. We should always remember that winning and losing are part of the game, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose so that others can win. This problem will arise when you do not want to follow this rule.

It's great to hear that you've been able to counter how gambling affects your behavior. If we are able to counter this early on, it is very helpful to develop a healthy gambling habit; We should never chase after losing. Accept defeat and refresh your mind and play again. By the way my curious mind wants to know have you really discover any tricks to realize your mindset when those losing streak happen?

For everyone, their first loss in gambling leaves a remarkable mark in their minds. I know it's disheartening when you lose money on your first gamble because new players learn many things and enter the field of gambling with great hope, but suddenly face a loss. This makes it very difficult for them to continue their gambling journey. The first loss teaches us important lessons about risk management, emotional control, and many other factors that are necessary in gambling. I have also faced a lot of losses in gambling, and I learned that when you lose one or two of your bets at the same time, you should avoid gambling for the rest of the day. This is because the pressure to recover your previous losses can lead you to lose all your money. So be careful, don't rush into it. Just avoid further losses and identify the mistakes that led to your gambling losses.

I started gambling only for fun hence why I never had the intention to gamble and buy something of need. I wasn’t expecting for me to win any significant amount of money enough for me to buy something valuable. Maybe it also has something to do with the fact that I only gambled a little bit amount of money and so I wasn’t expecting anything big to come out of it.
Before I lost, I won first. It was exhilarating and exciting and made me want to keep going. So, I did and I eventually lost. I only had deposited a small amount so it wasn’t such a life changing moment even if I lost. It was disappointing but ultimately I was able to let go of it because my expectations weren’t that high to start with.

Experience is indeed the antidote for bad feelings from gambling loses and for that the way we felt when we first started out in gambling is way very different from the way we will feel from loses when we alreayade experiences in gambling, so with knowledge comes peace of mind in the time of loses, but first and foremost first loses hit harder thanea time bombs because we haven't experienced such thing before.


Some newbie gamblers may be lucky to have gained experience from reading or observing those around them, but even at that, no one experience can be like your own personal experience so it will still hurt alot when we experienced our first losses.

My first "major" loss was in Bustabit's crash game. It was a few years ago, and I was completely pissed off. I had accumulated a decent balance after a few games and lost when I decided to start risking for larger multipliers. It wasn't a large sum of money, but it ended my interest in the platform altogether. I recently started being involved in casinos and sports betting. I've certainly lost a few times, but it was something I was anticipating when I started; you can't always win. I'm now accustomed to the idea of losing; it's always a possibility and a risk we're willingly taking on every single game or bet we're placing.

The more we learn how gambling works, the more failures there are, in my opinion there is no need to learn it, don't expect more from gambling, use gambling games just for your entertainment, do it when you want, not to win, my first experience when I first experienced a loss was that it made me curious and addicted but in the end I realized

Honestly, I don't remember at all when I started betting and when I got my first loss and win. But as far as I feel, it seems like I personally just act normally even though I always feel disappointed when I lose. But after all, betting is also my personal choice and there is no compulsion to do it, so when I experience a loss, I can only be silent and disappointed because the efforts I make still do not give good results. But the point is, I never feel deep sadness and frustration because I lose in betting, because basically it is a common thing that happens in anything.

There is not a lot of emotions on my first lose. I was a beginner and there's no heavy feelings yet at that time so I don't feel much at all. We all are different in that aspect but many of us won't really feel bad upon losing. But the second, third time around or even more makes us feel more painful when we lose because we've already lost at the beginning and having more of it is totally going to be unaccepted for us. And even if we can't accept, that's the reality and losing is part of gambling, newbies and not.

My first gambling experience was very disappointing. Somebody has just told me and my coworkers that he had access to an insider who gave him bets about some fixed games. He assured us that if we gave him some amount he would give us the numbers. We stupidly paid him a collected the games. I was expecting to win big which made me use my entire feeding money for the week to stake the game. It turned out to be a scam and I lost my money. It was an unforgettable experience because I had to suffer from hunger and rely on the support of my coworkers to survive for a whole week.

Loss is never supposed to be a good feeling for people. And that is exactly the case with me.
When I first started gambling, I heard about a friend of mine's experience of winning bets. He won by gambling and came to describe it to us. In that case, I also went to gamble and made a deposit, although the deposit funds were low, I still lost them with just one bet. And another reason for that was that I still didn't know much about fully betting. And the feeling was totally bad but after that exploring some info's I came to this decision I have to accept the losses and play for fun what I can afford to lose.

When you are in verge of desperation specially on making money due on being jobless or lack of opportunity on seeing some source of income then you will really be that likely be ending up on having this kind of thinking that gambling will really be that suits out into this kind of situation but in the end on which on the moment that reality would slap into your face then you will really be making up those realizations that it cant be possible. Gambling is really just that for fun and not for making money. This sounds pretty basic but actually it will really be that hard to apply on the moment that you do play gambling.
First loss could neither be giving out that kind of impulsive feeling on which it will really be leading out into desperation. Losing in gambling is really just that part and if you are someone whose really that
not good when it comes on handling your emotions then it might really be that leading into further impulsive deposits. We are just humans and we do really hate up on losing money and thats why on the moment
that you will really be dealing up with gambling then expect that there would really be those loses that you will really be able to encounter along the way on which this is normal.
Gambling is really just that for fun and if you do seek profit with it then you are prone into those bad decisions.
