What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?

Well, I am going to refer to poker specifically, since I play casino games on an occasional basis, with money that I can afford to lose, and I never exceed the budget that I have foreseen.

As for poker, I could divide the question in two: what is a bad beat and what is a bad session. Bad beads are something you get used to when you've been playing for years. Having more than a 90% chance of winning on the turn and losing on the river happens to me every day, so I'm (most of the time) emotionally neutral.

In bad sessions usually happen several bad beats and coolers and the best way to deal with it is emotionally neutral too, although we are human and sometimes it can affect your mood a little. If that's the case, I make the session shorter. I close earlier, and come back when I'm more rested, to play as emotionally neutral as I can.

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.

I also don't believe in gambling for fun. Every cent matters to me that's why I take my gambling seriously. It would be more entertaining and fun if we always win. There's no fun in losing that's why can't believe people just gamble for fun.

Didn't we know that those gambling professionals and whales are serious about winning even though they already have big money? Then these average gamblers will say they just gamble for fun. I believed this people that gambling for fun can't even get move on easily once they loss.

This is a seemingly simple question but a very important one given that every gambler copes with their respective methods.

The problem with some is that, they cope their losses through gambling again in order to recover such. This puts them in a situation where they are in a cycle- a vicious cycle of betting, losing, recovering, and betting again. This can be potentially dangerous especially if they cannot escape this kind of mindset and situation.

Personally, I cope via doing the hobbies that I am accustomed with. I play video games and/or just read/watch videos on YouTube- so basically, anything to distract my mind from remembering that I had lost an amount of money in my gambling spree.

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.

A bad loss is not something to be prayed for, nor wished for someone. However, certain risks and ventures turn out being a bad loss. The thing to understand is that, a lesson or two is supposed to be learned as to why such happened despite the preparations of effort put in. It is better to not dwell on the loss, but instead, find means to occupy the mind by playing games, going shopping, hanging out with friends or even just being alone working on an old task. Whatever be the method, after a bad loss, I first of all become grateful for the opportunity to discover a new way to not try the failed venture and also I seek another way to get or make what I want happen.

Someone who is a gambler have what it takes to be in a bad loss, except that the person is not a gambler, at sometimes when someone venture into lose of a game it will make the person to redress and look for the possible solution to correct it fault, from my understanding losing any game will not caused me any harm because i know quit well from my understanding that it's a correction if assume you are a consistent gamnler.

Do I even have a bad lose? That's the question I am asking myself because, I'm somehow conscious of my gambling habits and the stakes I place on a bet. I guess what I can call a bad lose would be a close win that went south in the last minute or perhaps on an accumulated bet slip and it got damaged with one prediction. If these could go for a bad lose, I simply telluseld it wasn't my money and I can try again. It doesn't get better or worst than that. Can't go about having headache over over is lost and never coming back. That would be some great lose on both sides.

It sounds like a redemption in the same day lol.
There's nothing much you can do with a loss anyway, regardless how huge or how small it it. A loss is a loss which kinda normal in gambling. You should move on,. it's not the end of the world though lol.
Cool your head off before you get back to gambling and try to redeem that "bad loss" of yours.
For those people who have supernatural beliefs, gambling with heavy feelings does not attract luck.

When you do make yourself get involved with gambling then you should really be making yourself that prepared for losses because you would eventually be flooded out by lots of losses.

Gamble when you do seek for fun and dont make yourself that believe that you could really make money with it on assured manner which it cant really be that possible.

Some do easily move on but there are people which are really that impulsive or highly reactive when it comes to gambling or simply losing money
which its never been recommendable because you would likely do lots of mistakes or further bad decisions you would be making along the way.

when i have a bad loss the thing i do is to pause and study my mistakes when 1 lost at gambling. because for me mistakes and defeats at gambling are lessons that we must learn to be more careful when we want to play at the gambling table.
bad losses or losses will often be experienced by gamblers but they will almost do the same thing as me and after that will come back again at the gambling table

After a severe loss you have to be strong to not get down and depressed. I try to forget about it, focusing in another matters when talking to people and I try to keep a positive mindset that I can recover that money after some time, although I can't gamble anymore meanwhile. My advice for people facing this issue is to forget the loss and forget gambling temporarily until you can think about what happened without compromising your emotional negatively.

And the most important: never try to solve a mistake with another. Some people lose money gambling and think the solution is to drink till getting drunk, while others develop different kinds of abusive behavior against themselves or others.

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.

I remember being so lost when I lost a significant amount on gambling. It rekt my ego and happiness because I thought I was always going to win, and it's just never the case. That's a noob move, IMO, and that's okay since I learned from it. So when that happened, I coped using distraction. I played video games and spent time with family and friends. That's it, and that's how it's been when I experience a loss, not just in gambling.

It's best to understand how you will react to those effects and respect how you feel. Once you have accepted that you can't win all the time, it's an acceptance, and you can move on and move forward with yourself.

Well, I am pretty similar, after losing in gambling I always find something else to distract me from thinking about that... I also play some games, or I move from the computer, there's always something else to do. That also helps with an urge to deposit more. When I was younger and alone I had situations to deposit more and more after each loss until I empty my wallet... but I guess we all learn at some point to not "overdo it"! Now gambling is with an amount I can afford to lose, and if I lose my deposit I just chill it out... I will try again next week, or when I have some cash for sparing! Probably every loss is painful, but with some control, big losses can be avoided.

The feeling experienced when you have made a bad loss can be described as either a sad feeling, a depressing feeling or an angry feeling. The best mindset to have at such a point is to give yourself hope that tomorrow will be better. Whenever I feel that kind of way, I watch my favorite Tv show, be with my favorite person, eat a good meal (very effective) or just go to bed. I do anything or indulge in any activity that can properly get my mind away from thinking about my sad situation.

Yes, it is hard to lose during yea early days gambling, if will give you some idea like if youl loss you need to get it back and deposit more money so that you can play well all day and night. He needs to have some discipline that it will be start in his own self first and it will be reflected to others as well. Gambling is fun better to have a friends who play as well.

Recovering the losses is almost impossible in gambling. You need to admit that if there is a loss in gambling, you need to move on and not worry much about it.
I have seen people who play revenge gambling in order to recover the loss and in return, they get more losses.

To be true no one can always win in gambling and sometimes you need to settle for loses too. If you do not have the mindset to accept the loss, then you should not play gambling at all. If you are an experienced gambler, you would know that in gambling you will face more days where you lose as compared to the winning days.

What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?

My reaction to loss is determined by how big my loss is, there are losses I will feel as if I never lose anything, that is why it is always advisable to wager an amount you can accept to lose, you don't wager an amount big enough to make you reminisce over and over that you may even find hard to overcome.
In fact, I move on quickly whenever I lose but as I said, depending on the amount but there are situations or mistakes that hurt more than even an amount used to wager a game. I remember sometimes a go when a single match damage my tickets, I would have won a life changing cashout but that match ruin everything, it was difficult to forget but of course, we are human beings, very easy to forget things behind.

That hurts. But I practice life with no regrets. What's done is done. When you lose something you cannot afford to lose, you have nothing but to move on. The first reaction would be to stay away and take a breather. Grab a beer or maybe socialize. And when emotions are getting better, you have to think deeply and make some realizations. Learn something from it to become a better person as a whole. It's not the end of the world.

It will be much better than just lamenting the loss we have experienced because we will be sad and unable to forget it. By taking a breath, at least it can reduce the tension that we experience and can think about what we should do. And we should immediately get away from the casino and do other things that can help us relieve the tension and regret. That's why we must be able to control ourselves if we want to play gambling and only use the money we can afford so that we don't lose too much money in gambling.

That is a bad that could ever happened to a man after you bet and lost your games, normally as a gambler you have to bear the lost and risk so at some points, after lost you need to distance the gambling site or local shop for awhile otherwise you stand another chances of losing more money while trying to recover from the previous lost.

You can't just leave gambling because you loose and that's all, does that means you will always accept defeat later in life from any situation in? It's better to learn and sit up with a determined spirit not to let the loss repeatwd itself again that affliction must not come the second time, if you let go then what's the benefits of gambling before now to you, doesn't it serve any good advantage tobyou been a gambler as to catching fun and cruise with pleasure times, there must be what triggered the initial interest for gambling and moreover you know it's a game of win or loose from time, bit losing more money could be from the gambler's end having not enough experience to gambling.

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.
