What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?
Depends if I get too depressed or I lose the money after the enjoyment. Bad loss is not always a bad loss actually, some are losing because they have fun playing and they are prepared to lose the money while other are not since they are focus on making money which is not guaranteed in gambling. I usually do nothing when I incur a losses, it's freeze for about an hour and I know after that, I should move on and keep going. Gambling is too stressful most of the time, losing can make it worst.
If you have fun then you won't consider the money you lost a loss but you will treat it as a kind of fee to experience a fun and thrilling ride inside the gambling place. Some of us knew that making money in gambling is hard but they still try because they believe on their ability and experience.

It's possible for them to accept their defeats but there are times that they can go beyond their limits, making them feel bad about it later on. You feel frozen after a loss maybe because you can't believe it happened and you can't think of ways on how to get over it. In my case, I will be panicky and start thinking of ways on how to earn money again.

Yes, even it I play on landbased casino's it was really a great experience and you will not think of the money that you loss that night. Maybe you can afford to lose it, or it was just the experience of playing in a casino again with so many people around you winning big.

But for others, specially in online, it's very hard to get over, maybe the best thing to do is to really quit that game and not think about that money. If you don't have someone to talk to in the house, just browse the net and look for positive thoughts so that you can forgot about your bad experience that night.
Losing has never been that a good feeling on which people would experience.Of course some would be in rage and some would just simply walk away and cry and even gets angry.
Getting over with losses or on times of frustration then it would be most likely be on distracting yourself via doing other activities or hobbies that you do have.
You should really prepare yourself with those disappointments once you had decided on touching up gambling.It do involves lots of winnings and losing
scenarios which you should make yourself able to accept on those things on point.

Everybody does have bad loses while some can be big while other small but it is necessary for us to make sure that we stay tight and safe. It is always advised for us to gamble with the amount we know that we can afford to lose. We should not be greedy to the extend when we use a bigger fund to bet which could later make us to regret of our actions.

Most time when I have a bad day of loses I joy relief myself and try and take something that will releave me and make me relax. Relaxation is necessary when we have a bad day and should not allow our bad day or bad time to deprive us of the joy we need to have in the morning.

Eat and sleep.  Grin You can't do anything about it, there's no load point on where you could go return to a specific time so might as well swallow the truth that you loss and just sleep on it.
Don't even try to chase the loss as you may end up swelling the damage that was done. There are other things to do and it would be better to just focus on those to forget what happened.
its simple think but give huge impact to our psychology, while our mind refresh there is no more emotion thay could make us uncontrolled and careless with the game. Gamblers still easily influence by their emotion ,so thier mind only focus on how recover their money and forget about logical
We know that emotions would be always there which it could really affect peoples decision on the most simplest way which is really that depending on how someone could really be able to control up their emotions.
Some are good and some arent thats why we do see different decisions and actions to be made on various situations or events because there are indeed factors which could really affect out
our decisions and actions been made of.When we do talk about on how to get over on a bad loss then i do mostly be getting away from my pc and do some activity like playing up basketball
or just simply be watching out some TV just to ease up the frustration and disappointment inside.It wont be that simple but it is something a good way on distracting yourself.

In general when I need to get over anything that got me depressed I take some time away from it until I feel better. I also try to socialize, spend time with my family friends and do things which I enjoy.

Since we are talking about money I try these activities not to have much to do with money (nothing expensive) so I can forget about it or heal faster.
I am very casual so I have not had a big loss yet, but that is probably I would do to feel better in a couple of weeks.  Wink

Good luck.

It's good that you were able to recognize where you went wrong in gambling. Self-assessment and acceptance is essential for you to move forward and break free from your bad gambling habits. Which in your case is chasing winnings despite its consequences. Increasing your bet over time doesn't necessarily mean that you would also win big. It all depends on probability and your luck. If you think you can win if you bet more and more, then you are wrong. It isn't always the case as every game is different in nature. Unless you are playing lottery, but the odds of you winning is also slim given the number of balls to be drawn.



what I experienced back then was not because I increased the bet. I still bet with the same amount. it's just that I do it in various ways in slot games. the method of buying the free spins and normal spins. But from this method there is no win at all. Then doing another deposit, and so on until a week has passed. That's when I realized that I was too stupid to think there would be a winning period at that time, so I used the money without thinking.for here i know if I wasn't playing for fun but playing without thinking to burn a lot of money lol.

The main difficulty that gamblers experience when they lose is the restlessness of the mind that engulfs their minds at that moment. This is a crucial point for someone to be able to do other things when their mind is not fully focused on what they are doing but as you said I agree a little, that is by sleeping, a person's mind pattern will disappear from restlessness and when he wakes up he will return  with a fresh mind. Maybe it can be an option for those who feel what to do when they experience a big loss in gambling. Besides that, another factor that is easy to do to forget about defeat is refreshing.

Depends a bit where I am and who is around me. The first step after a big loss doesn't matter if it's in a physical casino or in online gambling is to take a break. In the past I tried a few times to recover big losses immediately, but that never worked and only lead to losing more money. Now I need at least several days to clear my head and get my emotions back in check. If I don't take a break I keep focusing on my previous loss and will not appreciate any small winnings, and my risk tolerance is not adjusted. The immediate reaction after a big loss in a physical casino is to get drunk with my friends and try to forget everything. I would give a good friend my wallet and tell him to not lot let me gamble again that night. When I am at home and gamble alone than I would close all gambling sites, take some chocolate and chips and retreat to the couch, watch one of my favourite movies and try to sleep after a sugar shock.

There's many thing you can do: watching a movie, have a vacation, playing online games, go to the party, have a sex etc.

Although big loss in gambling is really hurt, but gamblers shouldn't forget gambling is for fun. So they need to accept gambling isn't to chase money, the more you chase the more you will loss. This is why I never gamble with huge money for only one day, because I can't accept the amount I will lose for just one day.

Many people say gambling is for fun, but that is often not achievable. I often want to make gambling as entertainment. but. when I lost $100, I added $100 even in 1 week I lost a total of $1000 because of my failure to control every loss. Instead of quitting and stop playing, I assumed that if I was going to win, I would definitely win and so on. So without realizing that, I already spent a lot of money on this game which is said to be for fun. just be careful with a Fun, if we can't control ourself, it will be trapped for more bigger losses.

What you say is quite representative of us as betting lovers, and I agree with what you say.

Often times we get stuck in a mindset like "this time we'll win", but in reality most of it doesn't live up to our expectations.
IMO, this will be a problem if we don't change the mindset. and as you said, be careful with things that are fun.
those words should be a reference for us to be able to control the situation, not easy, because I believe the hardest part is self-control.

as I said before, if we don't change the mindset. it can be a problem, something pleasant can be a disaster. not only on psychology, but also has an impact on greater material losses.


This situation is directly proportional to the size of your loss. If your loss is great, it will not affect you no matter what the people around you say. It also has to do with your psychology. The stronger your psychology, the less you will be affected. If you are saying that we will win this time, you probably will not win. You just have to stay calm and plan with the resources you have. It's not easy to make this plan, but you still try. If you continue in this way after a loss, you may experience irreversible losses. So you have to stay calm and plan for yourself. This can prevent you from making any more losses.

Having bad loss can way you down, if you can't control or contain the loss. If I have a bad loss,it means that I shouldn't gamble any more because If continue playing and think of winning everything you loss then am sorry, if possible you might also loss your head. I will go visit a friend which I can share my loss story with,so that can give me words of advice and even cheer me up with his funny jokes about people that have even lost more than I have. Then finally,we will both go to the cinema to watch a movie.

After all that I won't gamble for some period of time so that I can save my gambling money to recover one or two expenses am suppose to use some of the money I gambled with.

What I noticed about my friends is that gambling is not that fun, all of them are looking for a way to bet with small amount to win a very big amount, but none of them has won this way before and the small amount the are betting with is becoming bigger. Only few occasions that we win and that is when we bet on just one or few matches. Because people are using gambling as a means of looking for and chasing after money brings emotions and losses are the result. Gambling can be fun, but I think just for only few people that see it as a means of not making money but to have fun when they have nothing they are doing.

In gambling, the player must really know how to control himself. Otherwise, your bad habits will take over and control you instead. You should be a responsible gambler and not just a mere gambler who don't know the right approach and attitude in certain situations. You have to take care of yourself or else, you'll end up miserable because you get addicted in gambling. Gambling is addictive and if you won't learn how to control yourself, you won't survive in this industry. You'll just end up being trapped into series of downfall that you'll eventually feel remorse upon yourself for not doing better when you knew better.

BAD LOSSES?
Getting over loses is something different and getting over bad losses is totally something different. Remember that gambling is people from 18 years and above  and people are always advised to play responsibly especially withoney you can afford to lose.
Most times when I play casinos, it's basically for fun while hoping to make some cool cash  and if along the line I blow my money then, a chilled bottle of beer does the trick of getting over the loss.

But on cases of bad losses which isn't so common with me, then I think hanging out with friends helps as we could talk about a whole lot of things(I have crazy friends tho).
Most times bad losses come as a result of trying to recover a previous loss, which leads to revenge betting and greater losses.

It is quite obvious that bad losses may be hard to get over for gamblers. I think most of them rather keep playing until they feel they win enough so by that capture a satisfaction. But I think it may be better to just pause yourself and wander around sea (if you are in coastal region) or just woods possibly. These will relax your mind, sightseeing is awesome. Also breathing fresh air will recover your mind.

avoiding the computer and then rushing to go find a Cafe on the mountain to calm the mind looking for a cool atmosphere looking for women to have fun there, maybe that's an effective way to forget a little about the losses that I experienced

just remember that the loss is not the last one that you will experience if you are here in gambling. so long you are here in this habit, you will always experience loss at any point in time. by then, you should already know how to contain yourself in times of losses. usually, i just move on to losses by not going back at the same day. maybe few days, and try again my luck. because if you will chase your losses, high likely that you will get screwed up again and again.
That's right. By continuing to chase our losses on that day, we will experience bigger losses, especially if we deposit more money to gamble.
Gambling will have two outcomes: win or lose and if you can hold yourself back when you lose and leave the casino at that time, you can minimize the amount of loss.
Maybe you should do other things unrelated to gambling so you won't be too sad and forget about your recent loss.
That way, if you go back to gambling a few days later, you won't think too much about the losses from a few days ago and don't try to catch up with the previous losses because it will be difficult for you.
