find yourself to be that impulsive then you should avoid gambling as simple as that.

Obviously the financial trouble is the worse of all..
it eats you up like a slow poisons - there is no escape from it. No matter what. So try to keep yourself away from this financial trouble. Better safe than sorry.

Only a fool would gamble if he had problems with his finances. I believe that you can only gamble with money that you can immediately part with and not regret it. If a person is gambling in order to improve his financial situation by spending his last money, he obviously needs help from specialists, because he has a problem with his head.

It is true. He would only deposit his money into the casino because he couldn't think straight and was just looking for an escape from his problems. He thought he could solve the problem by playing gambling and that there was no need to do anything. A person who plays gambling will regret losing his money, especially if he does not consider limiting the money used for gambling. If we win from gambling, we will certainly feel joy, especially if we win a lot of money. But vice versa, if we lose in large numbers, we will feel sad, and maybe we want to recover from our defeat the next day.

I think most of the cases will be chasing the losses. It's pride being crushed and you want to win it back. I have been in that situation a lot of times playing Dice at Yolodice. I now regret it because it's not that entertaining, dice is pure gamble only unlike my new hobby now at sports.
I think I lost like 0.6BTC there just chasing the loss that started from 0.001BTC. I won't stop because of the urge of wanting it back and it ballooned to a higher number that lead to frustration. That's when your brain stops working and all you do is keep on rolling the dice.
Learned my lesson, changed the way I gamble.

I think it's crazy attempting to recover the losses that you see in your profile or on your statistics because its a sum of all the losses that you made through the years of gambling so it's definitely a huge amount but the one that I usually try to recover is the money that I use on my new gambling session as it's only small and more possible to recover but in the event, I fail on my first or second attempt I will not try anymore.

Dice is not entertaining because it's fast paced and you will be staring at a boring animation while in sports betting you can watch the game live but there are still other casino games which are fun like plinko for example.

Not the problem gambler, even the normal one feels like dying once after experiencing big loss. Most of the time user finds difficulty in accepting the loss. With time a gambler get used to it. Even I have got this thinking when I was a new gambler and experienced a big loss. Even now when I experience loss my close ones easily find something had gone wrong with me. So, there is some behavioural change once after losses.

Money is something that has great importance, no matter if someone says, "I only played with money I could afford to lose, so I'm not sad because I lost". that person will be lying, we are all sad when we lose money and even without money involved no one likes to lose in some game. Can you imagine spending hours doing analysis in a certain game and then losing in that game? who wouldn't be sad? the sadness and pain of losing makes us be more cautious in the next game and unfortunately things start to get worse when we have consecutive losses

^ You have an amount that you can afford and also you have self-discipline that will quickly stop once you will reach the maximum limit.
The common problem is that chasing loss, trying to cover the fund that you have to lose and instead of getting it back it becomes worst because you lose everything you have. The thread of the OP is very important to us to remember those things, we are still very lucky here that we are full of awareness not to become a gambling addict because we know how to avoid it.

Its situational because not just because you're here does means that you are exempted on getting addicted or commit mistakes in relation with gambling.When we do talk
about emotions then it would really be just lots and mixed up.Some might be chasing losses and some might able to have control.It is really depending on someones will

consecutive defeats signify that we must stop for a moment from gambling and don't force it to win. Gambling is not how well you play but more about luck. if you are still unlucky and keep losing then stop. everyone who loses money will certainly feel sad and will always be remembered. every gambler's feeling when he loses will certainly experience psychological pressure because he failed to make a profit.

The main idea of this thread, if I got it right, to prevent such a "big losses". People should know how to stop themselves to not get into this trap.

Personally, I never got into a "big loss", because I know how to stop myself (example and explanation in my post a little bit above).

There are several cases in my country of a gambler who becomes a motorcycle thief because he wants to gamble, it's ironic indeed, but if he is addicted beyond reason, it can happen.
It's true that the feeling of chaos when you lose gambling is very painful but try to be mentally prepared to lose in gambling, because otherwise it can affect a bad mindset.

Yeah, especially when the money lost is budgeted for households. So it is always advised to gamble free money, If we don't have free money for gambling then better not force it. Else we will have lots of problems when the money is lost in gambling. I have witnessed this kind of scenario from my neighbor. The father probably has a compulsive gambling disorder since he cannot stop himself from gambling even though their money is enough for their food. At the same time, I feel sorry for my friend since his father got hot-headed whenever his father loses.

Losing makes us feel uncomfortable, it may take some time to accept the losses especially if you expect too much but then again, this is gambling and we have to accept that losing money is normal. Chasing for any loses might result to addiction and if you gamble too much, this may be the next problem you’ll be facing, to deal with your emotion and if you can’t control it you might ended up doing bad things. I remember also my friend before, they make a bad scene in casino because of too much disappointment with their loses, this can happen to you as well if you are not a disciplined gambler.

Anyone experiencing/experienced a gambling disorder pls. feel free to share your feelings after losing/winning.

Sample Documentary Video of Gambling Addiction, the feeling and thoughts of a gambling addict
Sample 1

As the title stated, I stumbled on an article[1] published way back in 2021 and wanted it to share with you in case anyone is interested in how a problem gambler's mind works after losing his bankroll. It was stated that losing a huge amount of money is a sign that we must stop our gambling activity but...

Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

With all the effort of planning, setting a bankroll budget, and time limit, gamblers tend to bypass this plan and continue gambling. It was said that Gamblers specifically compulsive gamblers don't just gamble for money. Since compulsive gambling is a behavioral disorder that alters the brain[1], there are more varieties of reasons and motivations to gamble.

Chasing losses

Quote from: BitcoinPanther on June 19, 2022, 06:51:31 AM

Problem gambling is defined as gambling that is disruptive or damaging to you or your family, or interferes with your daily life.

source:Problem gambling
a more scientific discription would be:

Quote

Problem gambling or ludomania is repetitive gambling behavior despite harm and negative consequences. Problem gambling may be diagnosed as a mental disorder according to DSM-5 if certain diagnostic criteria are met. Pathological gambling is a common disorder that is associated with both social and family costs.

Gambling is an addictive sport. Most times they continue playing in hopes that they’ll win and recover their losses. They walk on a tightrope between a place where they want to stop to prevent further losses but want to continue to try to regain what they've lost. This is mostly the reason why they continue. That's why it's advised that betting should be played for fun and not because of an addiction.

Problem Gambler often ends up in depression every time they suffer loss. They wanted to get out of these feelings which is why they tend to continue gambling to beat the house which is highly unlikely. With this loss chasing and Post-Loss speeding, they end up losing much more money than they can afford to lose

Sad but true. The first aid in this case is to tell yourself: "Man, stop. You should try again tomorrow or maybe later, today is not your day". And after that you should change your activity, to forget the idea to take revenge on your loss.

Why this is work? If you try to tell yourself just "no", in 90 % of cases this will not help, strict restriction even from you to yourself creates more anger and negation. But if you try to fool your mind (we will try this later, just not today) with a great chance you will achieve a success. And tomorrow or later it will be much more to just flee it away.

And yeah, as I said, you need some activity which will distract you from your thoughts about gambling.

Quote from: lionheart78 on August 11, 2022, 12:33:06 AM

Solution:

Be honest with yourself
Join a Community
Get to the root of why you are gambling
Go to Treatment

1. it's hard for 90 % of people, maybe even impossible
2. What community to join?
3. The same as point 1
4. This will help, but many people find themselves in trouble much earlier. Without friends or family who will force you to treatment this will not useful advice, again.

I've gamble for years now and I know from myself that I did experience chasing loses and doing Post-Loss Speeding after having a depressing loss. The primary reason why I did things like that is because I don't have any control to myself. I admit that I'm a gambling addict before and this is what I experience every time I losses on my gambling session. It affects my current financial status because I spend more money than I do plan to spend and also the mental effect takes a toll after not getting what you aimed for. Being honest and accepting my current situation helps a lot in realizing and controlling things that I shouldn't do like overspending on my gambling activities.

The moment you crossed your limits and become carried away by your own emotions to gamble more, that marks the start of your gambling addiction. For most of us, chasing our losses and chasing our luck put us into that situation, wherein we can no longer control anymore of our expenses and end up seeing ourselves having financial breakdown. I’ve been there, but I was lucky enough to easily recover maybe because I was fast to admit that I was already having a gambling addiction, and that my family was always there to help me get me through from that certain uncomfortable condition.

Even a non-gambling addict also feels the same. Sometimes there is this moment when we think we are too lucky we bet and lose and do martingale style and eventually go all-in either because of the frustration or the feeling lucky stuff. Then regret the action when his desire did not realize. At least on your side you know what is happening inside you and have time to fix things before it gets worst.

Chasing losses is really on point.

It is what makes us feel comfortable if we're losing and that is to think that we can still chase those losses. In reality, not all, actually, the majority isn't getting a good ending.

And after that, we don't know what may a gambler do to himself when he's always losing. Things like committing uncertain things that will harm themselves can happen.

Being addicted is hard to deal with when you're on your own and that's why the suggestion of joining communities like the forum is really helpful.

We're always tempted to bet more after losing because we often believe that we could recover our losses or even gain the profit that we want which is actually unrealistic sometimes. Chasing losses could lead to gambling addiction especially if we can't handle or control our emotions. We really have to set a target goal and limits so we'll always know when to stop and when to continue betting. We can't always recover our losses and we have to accept the fact that we can't always be lucky in gambling.

It can wipe the current bankroll of someone if he's eager to recover his losses. Chasing isn't really the key to recovery of losses but just another way of adding value to your current losses.

Well, for some they become successful in doing it but not everyone has that luck.

If things aren't really going according to your plan, just let it go and settle for that day as it might give you more of the bad day.

The experience that comes after one loses a game is one that I can't explain,it a feeling that goes beyond pain,especially when one plays with a very high amount.One can feel like giving up on life,commiting suicide,hurting anyone around,and better still feel like robbing to replace the money lost.So many people have giving up on life as a result of gambling,lost hopes and gone astray,but it is advisable to gamble bearing in mind that anything can happen,either winning,or losing.
