Topic: How do you handle your losses (Read 6020 times)

Of course, you would not lose too much if you stick on your budget for gambling. But in most cases, even if you set a budget, that won’t still be followed especially if you think you are lucky because you keep on winning your bets, so you decided to bet more and forget about your gambling limits. If you stay that way, you will always make huge losses from gambling because of your greed and lost of discipline.

You're not making sense here. You aren't sure if you can handle the loss, knowing it's inevitable? If you know it's inevitable, get ready for it beforehand. When you know you're going to get drunk that evening, you make sure you take a bus or a taxi so that your car doesn't get left somewhere in the city, you eat a good meal, tell your family where you'll be in case you got lost or couldn't get home by yourself. You can get ready for most things in life and you can get ready for a loss of money. How? For instance by betting small amounts and making sure the loss won't affect your life. Pay your bills first, if you have a loan make sure monthly installment is covered, put some money aside for unexpected things and gamble with the rest.

Finding a good diversion to ease the frustrations will be a good help to re-assess yourself, some may find themselves drinking coffee
while analyzing what happened.

It is the opinion though and not all can just drink coffee and release those emotions, those who can are good in handling losses and they can
just easily to move forward and continue to whatever they are planning to do next.

The best way is to distract yourself into something like some hobby or physical activities which would really divert out your attention into and you would really be forgetting on what you had recently

experienced.Thing here is that you do really know on what you are doing and you do really know on how to handle up yourself because on the time that emotion would kick in then it

would really be hard to stop it if you dont really have that sufficient self control and discipline which would worsen up the situation or condition.

Talking about handling losses, we can not be hundred percent sure we can handle it entirely because loosing while gambling is inevitabe at first place,

If you are a gambler with discipline for sure that you will make a plan to make a gambling for your entertainment but if you are just a gambling who would like to prefer for a luck and have a budget losses is not in your vocabulary some people manage to win a lot with their risk and all of their risk-taking but of course not all the time it happens, it depends on the gambling habit still of the player, but for me ideal to have a set budget if you are just in the middle class to lower would like to play gambling because there's more use of money than taking the risk to win just my cent.

Talking about handling losses, we can not be hundred percent sure we can handle it entirely because loosing while gambling is inevitabe at first place, but i believe there are some loss in which could have been prevented by us from happening if we had taken charge of some certain things, gamblings is all about placing bet and when you stake a game and expect it coming but didn't, then try to engage more strategies and techniques that could help you have a recovery on your lost games in the next round, you can also put space to give it a time interval before the next one in other to reset yourself for the next round.

I only set an amount of money when gambling. This way I can manage risk while gambling. I always have my emotions in check whenever gambling and take several pauses or breaks in between gambling to freshen up and to avoid being greedy. I also set an amount where I will stop gambling once I win an "x" amount. This way I can control my greed. Whenever you I am in a losing streak I never trust my guts that the next round will be a win, I stop briefly. There are a lot of things we can do to handle losses, however, emotion is one of our greatest enemies when gambling. We get carried away, we cannot think straight because of emotion.

We all handle emotions differently, also the way each of us admit our losses differs. I love playing dice and blackjack on my favorite casino and have never had a big win, but I make sure not to chase my loss if I lose. I have learned to deal with losses, it wasn't easy from the beginning, but it gradually became part of me over time.

The only time when I allow a loss to get to me is when I have so much expectations from the game. For sports betting. A loss hurts real bad when I knew I did my homework on the team, the analysis etc and I became damn sure that I was going to win but end up losing. I curl back into my shell for some days. I am not happy. I just want to be alone. When I start feeling better I come out. This helps me.

Not everyone is good at letting go of their loss. I used a four way strategy to train myself into admitting my loss:


First I draw a plan of how much I am willing to risk for any bet:
I so much believe everything starts with a plan. To avoid been carried away by my loss or urge of trying more chances I first plan how much I'm willing to risk and if it goes I pause to try again when next I have made new budgets.

I make sure I don't pay attention to the leader board:
I try my best to avoid this board because it can be tempting and compelling seeing how much a user cashed out the hungry to try a little luck might make me go against my plan

I ensure I drink enough water to reduce risk of heat stress :
I won't want to be under any compulsion or stress after a loss, so I make sure I drink water to stay hydrated, and it helps manage my mood even if I lost.

I ensure my emotion is in check:
I remind myself regularly that I am only having fun that can either be winning or loss, and what ever be the outcome it is for the fun of the moment and not a get rich quick scheme.

I avoid greedy friends
Friends play a big role in the character of a person. Someone who is never greedy can become greedy based on a friend's influence. I rather take a small win and walkaway than risk it all to lose even my win.

I have to convince myself that it's just a game. Losing is something natural, so there's still the next day to play to win. Of course, you have to think of playing casino just for fun, so you don't feel disappointed, let alone curious when you lose.

I say to myself after a loss - it is just a bad game not a bad life.
Winning and losing abound. I try not to whine too much about the loss. In fact, I play call of duty whenever I have a loss, or I look for a game that requires me to think critically -Chess.
When I play any of these, I do not have the time to romanticize about losing. This is how I handle losing. Chasing loses is for amateurs. It never ends well so I do not do it.

This is the most bullshit reason or whatever shenanigans that I heard on gambling. Why the heck you are gambling if you didn’t expect to win and just counted your money as lost once you deposit? It’s better to send your money to donation so that it can help poor people rather than spend it on your nonsense gambling since you didn’t want to win. Seriously why you do need to play gambling if you have this kind of resolve.

Winning is what makes people drive to gamble more but in your case you are like zombie playing without any goal to achieve. Zzzzz

How I handle my lost is that whenever I loss a bet, I'll reduce my betting power subsequently. I lose again I reduce amount until it gets to zero, I'll know I have lost out in everything
