I lost 500$ in a minute trading an altcoin, this is the money I planned to use for buying at least three different altcoins for long term, when I lost that money it hit very hard, I kept remembering for the whole week, I believe it's not the money I was prepared to lose. I hope this answers your question, if you are able to get over a loss very quick its because you are prepared to lose the money.
I believe that there are some people who don't move on fast after they lose the money they are prepared to lose for. I'm pretty sure there are people who are regretting their actions even they are prepared for the consequences. I've been on that situation multiple times before and I learned my lesson hard and learned to control myself from the temper of not spending money that I don't afford to lose.

Usually I do take some breaks after having a bad loss, Thank to God I have a limit on what I spend on a casino. This helps me move on fast now and just recover to my normal state after I have a bad loss.
Exactly. Many times I allocate a small amount for gambling but even though I know that it was only a small amount, I can't help but to overthink about it. I really don't know why it's happening to me. I even explain this to the people around me and they think I am getting crazy now Cheesy and they say the same thing, that it was only a tiny amount. I think if they have some cash that time, they will just give it to me so that I will stop whining out lol.

It has to do with our temper and not only about the amount that we lose in gambling because there are also people who lose big and manage to stay calm after it. To cool my head down I will just eat cold foods like ice cream. It works like a charm for me.

Leave gambling altogether instead of trying to recoup, you eventually forget your losses, how sooner you forget depend on amount of loss  Tongue

Play only with spare money that you can lose. An example of such money is if you invest and the money multiply like crazy like Bitcoin was doing in 2012 and you find out that your 100 bucks is now worth 100k, losing 1k on gambling would be nothing.

I never had to get over a bad loss because I only deposit the money that I can lose. I never deposit more while gambling. If I'm out of money I'm done for the day with no regrets.

Well it happens to the best of us and overtime you just forget but the best way is just fall a sleep and not think about it. You probobly get angry or dissapointed once that happens but that just fades away. After sometime if you get some money or wins it just becomes funny or you just feel stupid. Thats what happens to me usually.

"Sleep" but before sleep, I'll watch any entertainment and play any games online, I'm not blaming the casino, will definitely blaming myself. Then 2 or 3 hours after that I'll silent and re-thinking in my private room while biting my shirt was wearing lol, after that I eat a lot until my stomach is full, then I don't forget to brush my teeth. Also there's nothing I can do after that, so sleeping is my favorite when I lose for now, because in the future it may be different usually depending on the situation and conditions.

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

The best way to get over a big loss is to not let it get that far in the first place. You have to ask yourself, why do big losses occur in betting in the first place?

It is always due to the greed of the player who plays with too high stakes and then loses. That is why it is essential (!) to have a decent bankroll management when betting or playing other games like Poker or Blackjack.

This is the only way to ensure that you stick to your strategy even in a downswing and continue to make the right decisions. Otherwise, you run the risk of raising the stakes to recoup your losses and end up losing even more.

That's why the most important thing is discipline, only in this way you stay with your A-game.

First I console myself by letting myself know that, it wasn't my day that very day and everyday isn't Christmas for me

Secondly I just go hangout with my babe and eat as much goat meat as possible  with a bottle of red wine.

I head back home and watch any nice movie, getting my mind ready for the next day.

I'll rest, focus on other things that could make me feel relaxed, and as much as possible, I try not to chase my losses. Forget it and move on as I take it as a lesson. Accept the fact that losing is part of our gambling journey and set limits next time. Chasing it will only lead to more losses so it is better to pause or stops for a while than just try your luck on the other days. It's just that unlucky days usually happen to us.

It's really hard to move on if you lose a lot of money and a lot of time thinking about it. I spend my time just playing offline games to release the stress that caused it, and I also travel outside the town to feel free and not to think of it.

Getting a huge bad loss will get you depressed, and the best way to get over it is to forget and move on. And, learn from the mistakes and recover from the loss a little.

What's the behind reason why someone are suffer a bad loss? there's many reason like a scammer scam your money, a robbery rob your money etc.

Mostly I will gamble because the reason I gamble is for fun, I'm don't have an intention to chase money. If someone is gamble to chase money, you will mad since you're keep losing. That's the reason why a gambler should know if gambling wouldn't make you rich, especially you're playing slots which is doesn't required any skills.

The way I deal with bad loss is by simply moving on, that is why I always set limits to the amount I used for gambling, and if ever I go beyond that, and end up losing I will just move on to some other thing other than gambling.

Watching football games have been one of the helpful ways I have always helped myself to overcome a bad day.

That's the jerk man you have to prepare for either loss or win, so why do you get disturb after lossing, most newcomers oftentimes fall prey for this, old timers are mostly prepared for one of them win/loss.
Having a dead sleep will help ease the stress get busy if possible playing table tennis will work to a point.

Not really my favorite but something that I have to do to rub off that bad loss I usually take a bath then take a drink and go to sleep after that I'll start fresh in the morning and forget my bad loss, been doing this ever since my first bad loss a few years back and it works, we need something like this because bad loss is always a part of our losses, even if you try to avoid, you'll experience this but you have to minimize your bad loss or it will harm you.

I go off the site or place and try to relax by watching movies on Youtube when am in bad loss. On few occasions I tried to play more so I could win back my losses but the more I did the more losses I got. I learnt this simple lesson the hard way. The advice now is to leave when the day is bad for you and not to force it. Gambling is a mind game and if your mind is not settled you hardly win. Do not task the mind when it is distressed.

In my ownnway i will ensure never to get involved in gambling with high amount, put hodl for a while and also try to get myself right and well positioned for subsequent gambling, this now brings in about discovering the causes of previous experiences of loss, and I will try build more on myself as against avoiding reoccurrence of loss, but the truth is that loosing terribly does not amount to quiting gambling but rather a reason to regain more strength for another attempts that could also be a big blow on casino for a revenge that you may win again and smile again.

Personally I understand that life is about winning and learning (I don't want to call that losing) because at the point that we are down we are suppose to use that time to build energy to be strong, revitalize, reinvigorated to hit back at our fences. So regarding gambling, when I lose I only see it as part of life to learn more. At least it gives me another time to get it right and I don't try to force it to happen for a win because if you keep trying you are likely to keep losing as gambling is concerned. Walking away to come back is good just like life itself is. Understanding gambling as lucky game is more suiting to me.

Just take a break to refresh myself and do whatever I like which will help me to feel good again but I would say if you are gambling according to your budget and you loose that amount you don't have bad feelings that could tear you apart although you feel sad but on a normal level.This is my opinion and preferred way of gambling but taking break is very necessary if you have lost more to refresh up yourself.

I would say that if it happened that you got a bad loss, then it's time for you to stop and stop gambling. Big losses are a sign that the player can no longer control himself, and then everything will only get worse, because there will already be a desire to win back the lost money. This is the worst thing that can happen to a player, because in such a state nothing good will come of it, there will only be more losses and as a result even more lost money...

Losses are inevitable in gambling, when I losse I always have two ways to put myself together and they two ways are:
1. I will remember when I won and how happy I was and  use it to console myself.
2. I will play music and every sad feelings in me will just disappear with immediate effect.

In gambling, losses are more common than winning, which is why multiple gambling companies are interested in it. Yet, you may win big or lose little in every of your play, it is about your choices and preparedness. Gambling is not easy, you should prepare psychologically and with a unique strategy and plan, not that you gamble randomly without a regular approach that might one day help you to win big.

This approach/strategy must include a plan that would not let you lose more than prepared for. But in case you go astray and lost much, you need to take a break, be in the company of those you love to get over it, and could resume after 2 weeks if you had cooled down and are psychologically ready to try again with better discipline.

Diversion.

you can do things you like and forget about the losses you suffered before, of course everyone will be different to deal with these losses. if you do not have good control, then what happens you will restart the betting session with a larger deposit.

It is not easy to forget in an instant for the loss you have received, you will be faced with thinking and looking for solutions to get back the money that has been lost. so what one should do, the case will be different for each person.
but for sure, you need a diversion to refresh your mind. it could be a little exercise, watching Netflix, or anything that can take your mind off it.

Watching the matches of my favorite team or sport is my choice and focusing about that match and try not think anything about gambling for a while until the mind is clear again because even though we can do other things but if we continue to think about the amount that has been lost then the activity becomes less impact.
