Let me tell you the truth that losing is not a fun thing in gambling. Anyone really wants to win a bet, no matter how small or big the value and winning will make us happy.

I don't think this is always true. Sometimes it's the rush of having money on the line that is what you're paying for. Sure, it's better to win money than lose money, but if you're gambling only to make money there are far better and less risky ways. I think people are best served gambling for the added excitement and sometimes that added excitement is worth the cost of admission. For me, it doesn't even take a lot of money and I think having $10 on the line during a game is more entertaining than getting that extra drink.

Your tips will be very helpful if applied. But like you stated, be honest to yourself. A gambling addict must first of all acknowledge that he/she has a problem. Some gambling addict never accepts that they have a problem, hence they would never heed to professional advice on how to break free from this harmful behavior. Lack of employment can also make a gambler see the game as a means of livelihood instead of for entertainment.You would see such person investing most of his time in gambling houses and when he loose they feel depressed and sometimes violent.

Chasing after losses becomes problematic however, when you gamble regularly say almost everyday, and you keep making losses and chasing after them. This is the quickest way to make huge financial losses and subscribe yourself for depression.

On top of that our mindset is also a factor since there are gamblers that aren't willing to accept or move on from their previous losses and try to recover them in their next gambling session.

After losing a gambling game, our minds disappear and we will never gamble again.Gambling is a very bad thing and we will never do it.But after some time our mind gets attracted to gambling again.And the temptation to gamble more and to gamble again.It is an addiction that once you are addicted it is very difficult to get out.But I will say only one thing that when people lose in gambling, for a short time, bad concentration works in them that they will never gamble again.

It's always easy to say those types of stuff but doing it consistently is a different story since it's not easy for some people to quickly get rid of their addiction. I'm not sure about having bad concentration but for me, it's better to keep a level head when losing so you don't lose control and switch up your strategy while playing.

Seems a bit of too much technicality if we need to really be concerned about this.

Above all of those pointers why gamblers tend to continue amid losing, the experience will teach us how to become a better gambler later on. Every gambler should know that the moment they enter the world of gambling, it's just between winning and losing as the only result they should expect.

It will now depend on the gambler on how will they react regardless of the outcome of that particular session.

Probably feels bad. I'm not a problem gambler. I rarely play and never lose a lot of money but it always feels bad to lose. The more you lose, the more time you waste, the worse it feels. Probably the most challenging for the gambler's mind is losing someone else's money and gambling against the advice of your loved ones. After losing you know that you'll not only have to face the loss of money but also come back home and face the people who told you not to do it.

This kind of stress usually happen to those who don’t have any budget in gambling instead they took risk using their borrowed money or a money came from their savings account. Many are still chasing their losses, this is a bad habit and if you continue to gamble like this, most probably you will suffer more later on. Addiction can be prevented, if you gamble responsibly then you can be a better gambler and still have fun even if you lose the money because you know, that money is just an extra for you.

I feel that I have lost many times which may have influenced my attitude and mindset about gambling. The feeling of wanting to get back the money I lost must be there, I was curious about what I could win after losing, this made me more or less unaware that there were a lot of expenses that I had spent. But what's more now, we have to be responsible for whatever we enjoy including gambling.

Losing is never a fun thing even to those people who do say that they are playing gambling for fun but it is really hard to ignore and resist on being that reactive on the time that you are losing.

It would really changed up your mood and would changed up your motive in the first place and if you arent that experienced enough when it comes to emotion handling then you would really be finding yourself

to be that impulsive and this is where actions do changes and it will surely affect on your initial plans and set out limitations or borderline earlier because if you arent really that
good on controlling your emotion then likely you will commit another mistake or bad decisions.

Problem Gambler often feels depression after losing
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. They end up spending money allocated to households budgets, embezzling others' funds to the extent of stealing money from others. This triggers family misunderstanding, friend disputes, and even crime. Due to the problem piling up, a problem gambler often falls into severe depression and possible suicidal thoughts.

Before this, problem gamblers experienced a series of winning he experienced big winnings and he thought that he has a magic touch or he has found a way to beat the house, he thinks that he can always repeat his winning run, so whenever he suffered a loss at one session he always comes back and promises to himself that the next session or game he can recovers all his loses.

This goes on trying to make himself and all around him that he can recover his losses as he did in the past and that's where depression comes in because reality comes in that you really cannot beat the house and you only gamble with money that you can afford to lose, and you should never try or even think of recovering your loses.

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.
...

if we collect real data (poll) based on this board only then we get all kinds of reasons someone is tied to gambling...

I agree with a gambler (in the category of heavy addicts) to reduce their gambling activities, is by being open / joining a community because there we will see each one strengthening each other, providing input and steps slowly to reduce gambling activities. A gambler who is losing will definitely not give up even though he has lost and will keep coming back. only a small number of heavy gamblers can actually stop gambling, most are able to control and balance their gambling portion.

My experience is really worse, because I made something around $10k when the price of bitcoin was $55k. It was really happiest moment, but the same didn't last long. With that I was able to recover all that I've lost in gambling, more $500-$1000 in loss according to statistics. In the event of recovering the last $500-$1000 I lost the recovered $10k. That was really bad of my gambling act. After that incident few weeks I wasn't able to think of anything.

This is the risk of chasing our losses, we tend to gamble more with a hope that we can recover the whole amount but in reality its going not to be easy. This is also where addiction started, if you can’t control yourself and continue to chase loses and aiming for more, many gamblers losses their capital because of this. Seek help if you think you are already trap in gambling, know that you are not alone and you still have your family to guide you and heal your broken life, addiction may be bad but in the end, family can still accept you.

Problem gamblers who lost 100 straight bets. Would probably think they were overdue for a winning streak. They don't understand that there is no statute of limitations on bad decisions.

100 consecutive bad decisions doesn't imply a person gains a higher probability of making 100 consecutive good decisions. That could be one aspect to problem gamblers that has difficulty sinking in.

Typically problem gamblers I have seen also fail to comprehend basics of gambling. They will bet on a -200 line expecting it to have near to 50/50 accuracy. Not recognizing there are considerable mitigating circumstances surrounding the mathematics of lines oddsmakers publish.

A big part of being a problem gambler could simply come down to lacking context and a general understanding of the mechanics involved.

Problem gamblers have inaccurate ideas about gambling. Which leads to them usually making the same mistakes over long periods of time.

I had this feeling in both gambling and online gaming.
When you lose and feel miserable you want to keep playing to prevent yourself from going back to the real life and facing what had happened. You'd rather stay in that mindset that you had when you were playing and hope that you'll either win and calm your nerves or get so tired that you won't be able to think about it anymore.

I think this is the case where you are hiding from reality. You drown yourself with other things than facing that reality and this time you choose to do it with gambling.

Quote from: darkangel11 on August 11, 2022, 03:36:49 PM

I also had a feeling of wanting to beat myself even more. Like I made a mistake and continue because I feel like it can't get much worse from this point even though it can. It can always get worse and worse as long as you're alive. Only dying is the ultimate bottom that you can reach, but people who are depressed rarely see things as they are.

Or it can be better if you faced the problem. Life is a two-way street, depending in our action and which path we chose. In gambling being depressed after losing is bound to happen when we are left with nothing. But we should face the fact that we made a mistake and are eager to take responsibility on it and works our way to correct that mistake, By accepting things around us, and moving forward while facing and fixing our gambling problem, life will get better each day.

If I could recall vividly, I was not the type that chase losses but I gamble most often, I continue to lose and lose until I stopped gambling for a year and some weeks or days. Frequent gambling on its own is very risky. Quality gambling is better than quantity gambling.

Chasing losses is of this category too but also worse because a gambler can lose the whole money he is using to gamble in just a day after first loss, he will continue to gamble until all the money is lost and realized that. Chasing losses create a very mindset in gamblers mind that fall for it and loss is the most possible result.

Gambling is not a bad thing and all depends on the way we gamble. Gambling supposed to be lite and simple. We should not gamble with what we know we can't afford to lose because of greed. I think greed is one of the reasons why many gamblers had lost bigger funds in the history of gambling. If you gamble with what you know you can afford to lose then there is high risk of losing than winning. Because of what we think we will gain, we end up using our last hope or fund to gamble and finally lose.

Post-Loss Speeding

Quote

Gamblers often engage in “post-loss speeding” by placing another bet quicker following a loss because frustration from the defeat prompts them to try and win back their money. As a result, gamblers become more impulsive - instead of becoming more cautious about spending money, they become more reckless.

I do not know if this counts as "Post-Loss Speeding" but one time play slot and had 100 spins. After I have finished the spins, the money I won was below the withdrawal limit. I got a pop up to place more bet and I immediately used the money won to bet again hoping to win enough money to be able to withdraw it. I ended up not even winning up to the previous amount. Does this count as post-loss speeding?

According to the definition, you need to suffer a loss and then wager a higher bet due to the frustration of losing. Your case is different, you are aiming to have the minimum amount to withdraw and that is the reason why you are forced to bet again. So, I believe it doesn't count as post-loss speeding.

I look at the game as having two options: win or lose. simple as that... I don't regret after losing and I don't chase losses and I don't put feelings in the game, I just use my reasoning, I don't cling to the team when I play, no matter how much I'm a fan of a team when I place a bet I don't get attached, it's important to see that games are something where a person can easily lose everything and for that reason a person needs a lot of self control, a person needs a lot of strategies and a person needs to have a strong mind to deal with. with the losses

Maybe unlike other players, what I feel when I lose a gamble is that it's hard to sleep well because this is caused by regret or because I don't play disciplined when I gamble. In general, worries can also hit me in my appetite and can't concentrate when I face problems at that time. All of these things may have also been felt by other gambling players but every defeat there is always a feeling to play again for the sake of withdrawing or returning the initial loss. Mental disorders may be caused by gambling defeats but I hope this does not happen to me.

Chasing losses

I recently lost on slots and couldn't meet up the minimum amount to make a withdrawal, I was disappointed and after a while went back to "chase my losses", guess what, I lost some more. I think that is regular for people to chase after a loss to try to win back all or even some as consolation. It can be a problem but cannot turn you into a problem gambler if you do it rarely because just like me you gamble occasionally.

Chasing after losses becomes problematic however, when you gamble regularly say almost everyday, and you keep making losses and chasing after them. This is the quickest way to make huge financial losses and subscribe yourself for depression.

My personal negative experience is somewhat similar to yours: I lost in slots, tried to win back and as a result I lost my entire deposit. My path to this was classic: won 1 sat. - lost 3 sat., won 2 sat.- lost 5 sat. and so on. I saw where things were going and could stop, fixing smaller losses, but frustration and anger at the uncontrollability of the situation prevailed, which led to even more trouble. I immediately decided for myself that I would not recoup any more and fix this loss, I would accept the situation as it is. I haven't gambled since then and my negative experience still serves as a reminder.
