Topic: How do you handle your losses - page 3. (Read 6020 times)

Out of everything, this was actually the most unexpected but also something I relate with, but I think this is more on the exhaustion side instead of heat itself? I tend to do dumb shit since my mental capacity at those points is pretty much empty so yea, taking a breather and drinking water to cool off is a great way to reset the brain even for a bit.

Still, the best way imo is hobbies. Do something else, don't just take gambling in as your sole activity for enjoyment. It's so that you can split your time and money (yes, even if it needs money). Some hobbies can go a long way with the budget you'd use for a month of gambling (though it still depends on person to person).

That is the best way to distract from thinking about gambling so that we will not be affected by the results we got in playing gambling before. But unfortunately, many of us find it difficult to do even though we have tried. But that's what we must do and keep trying so that we won't think about it too much if we lose. And so that we don't get emotional, we have to take care of ourselves and not use a lot of money to gamble so that losing won't hurt too much. Self-discipline is really needed in playing gambling so that we don't gamble excessively and prevent big losses.

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.

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.

In the beginning, I was involved in gambling, my favorite slot game, blackjack, dice, sometimes I could spend hours playing slots with countless money I spent and I realized that the win was not on my side, the consecutive losses that I get, I think this kind of situation can harm my finances, so I think about how to deal with all the losses that I get in gambling.

Then I try to think about learning other types of games to overcome losses.
I tried to study sports betting in as much detail as possible, especially football betting with a good score policy, I managed to do it all to cover the losses I had experienced for a while, overall dealing with losses is not emotional basis, greed for me, but turning the corner in another type of game that I am really good at, I realized that I really couldn't handle losses if I didn't master the types of bets in gambling.

don't understand what we are playing and betting on, everything will be in vain, the losses will continue to haunt us.

The best way to deal with your loses is just to reduce your staking strength, if you stake more to regain your loses, you will end up losing the more. Try to gamble for fun and don’t get addicted to it.  I had an ugly experience in gambling. I was trying to regain a lost and ended up losing everything.

It is a relaxing way of dealing your losses and that's why whenever you're in that situation, try to spoil yourself and that will ease the feeling of disappointment.
We have to find ways on how to deal with losses and if this strategy is going to make you feel better, just keep on drinking the best tea or coffee you want.

The fact that when you're not a full time gambler makes you understand that you should look into gambling by that way.

So, expectation will not exceed from what you're thinking and you'll just out there to gamble at any time as you wish. But, those wins that you may take as you gamble will be surprisingly good because you have never expected them.

And as for the losses that you need to deal with, there are gamblers that have hard time accepting the consequence of what they've done so, losing is hard to accept but eventually, it has to be accepted.

Unless you can accept the loss on your own, you should not go to the betting section. First you have to deal with the loss in yourself. Even if you are going to trade there will be losses so first you have to build your ability to handle losses then you can start trading. So I would like to say that those who bet in the gambling section need to strengthen their mentality the most. Because the gambling section will depend entirely on luck. If you are lucky you can win. And without luck you can never win. So you have to always participate with a strong mindset to deal with it otherwise you may end up having a heart attack. So before participating in the gambling section you need to make your mind up in such a way that even if you lose you can stand properly and adjust yourself.

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.

People are different which it would really be that different when it comes on how you to ease out that frustration and anger towards your losses.Some might able to take it away via walking or going out side but just like you on which i do prefer to stay inside my house and would rather having a sleep or would really be doing some gaming on my pc just to ease out that kind of emotion which overflowing.If you are rally that
not good on handling out your emotions then you would definitely be that impulsive and would make even more mistakes out of your gambling activity.This is where you should really be that
careful because if not then you would expect the worst.

That's for people who are extroverts and I do agree that it works. I mean walking about 20-30 minutes even if around your neighbourhood could help those people out as well. I am not that type of person, I am an introvert who hates going out of my house for any reason possible, if given the option I would lock myself in my house and never leave it and if I can technically do it, then I would do that all my life.

So, my losses are usually followed up by taking a powernap, a siesta if you will and that's the type of thing that I would definitely makes me feel better. I mean if I sleep even just one hour during naptime? That would make me feel like the freshest mind of all time.

Well, just accept the fact that to gamble is to lose your money, and not to earn a living, so be prepared on it rather than seeing gambling as a good source of living. That is why when you gamble, never spend more than you can afford to lose but settle on small amounts that you are ready to lose. That way, you will never see gambling as a way to make ends meet but only a good source of entertainment, and earning profits might only be a bonus.

I ensure my emotion is in check:
You should always look out on this part on which people are really that making those impulsive decisions due to their impulsive emotions and this is where
you should really be that mindful because if you do know on how to handle up your emotion then you wouldnt really be reacting on this way
and you would really be that fully aware about your actions which you do need to control it up specially when
dealing with gambling.

You are right. If someone can be calm whenever they get losses, everything will be fine. However, not every gambler can feel calm when they get losses. There are many gamblers to be out of control when they get losses. Although they have enough knowledge and experience, sometimes they still can't control themselves. In this matter, I assume it is all about an individual's nature or characteristics. It is not so different with people who are ambitious to chase winning. It may be their nature to always think about winning, or it is because of the wrong goal/purpose of joining gambling. But there are also some people how do that because of less of knowledge and experience.

True. Problem only comes when you gamble to earn a living because you rely on it completely, and you have no real job that will feed your family. If you gamble, make sure to spend only your extra money and not those funds intended to pay the bills, otherwise you will just worsen the scenario and create another problem once you lose the funds. Or better yet, don’t gamble if you think you are not ready to lose, that way you won’t face future troubles.

I think handling loses in gambling is very easy, if we can learn to do it right from the foundation, that is before we even gamble the money away..
Like what i do is -
first, make sure that I am not gambling with an amount of money I am not comfortable losing..
Secondly - before I even start gambling, I build a mindset that that money is already gone, this helps me in the sense that if eventually the money is lost without winnings, I don't feel it because the money was already lost even before I started gambling...

This strategy can be difficult most especially for those who are not disciplined enough, but the medicine is to start from the foundation, which is - gambling only with an amount of money one is comfortable losing.

Make deposit, play the game and forget about anything happened "except the win". I'm only that simple now, but sure for an amount I can afford to lose. Gambling isn't just to win so far, it's the mindset I've had about gambling because at the end of the day I no longer think it's good to chase winnings at any cost.

There is no way to always stay calm about dealing with losing, it should just be forgotten unless they get too addicted to the amount of money they can't afford to lose. Getting back to basics, gambling is another way of having fun and money should not be main goal although money is possible to win.

Quite for sure it's emotional when gambler loses a bet but it depends on the amount of money that I used in my staking, that will actually determine the extent at which I'm gonna feel pataining my lose. This reason,  the way I've used in handling my loses is, I ensure each time I'm placing my bets I don't over bet by putting large amount of money and also ensure using the amount money that I'm with losing.

Most likely we would really be ending up on this way on which just like on whatever things that your'e dealing with which its never been ideal on chasing up your losses or trying out to break even because it would really

create out that kind of desperation inside when you do really make yourself fixed up that kind of mindset.This is why its better to move on and make yourself that versatile and a bit emotionless when you are
really that doing gambling or even in trading which its never been that good on trying out to chase your losses.Play for entertainment and losing is always been part and you should make yourself at least
aware into those things so that you wont really be that expecting that much.

I think in this case calm is the main key. defeats and wins are actually normal conditions because regardless of anything we cannot avoid losing when we are in gambling. The problem is that there are still many people who always play more ambitiously in the next session when they have lost.
Indeed, there are several strategies to minimize defeat, but when we have more ambition about winning, this is actually not good for the next game because we don't focus too much and enjoy the match because our thoughts are winning.
