Stop playing for a while or reduce the bet amount so that you dont focus on chasing the previous losses, thats what I usually do after a losing streak on sports.
Anyway, always betting on favorites in the international friendly matches is not wise, the favorites will not always win even when playing against a weak teams. Moreover, the Euro are only a few days away and every player will not play seriously to avoid injury

Egypt to win,
France to win Canada,
Switzerland to win Austria,
Portugal to win Croatia and
Sweden to win Serbia in their respective games,

You can't predict games, don't be surprised that some of the top countries with high performance and are still actively in form could be kicked out by a small one, the worst of it now is that such country too will later be knock out of the game, when it comes to games and predictions, anything can happen, even though we have the most assurance of a team against the other, there will be a time they may just have to proof us wrong and disappoint by missing on a slight opportunity.

For the majority of people in the gambling world, it's not always easy to handle a loss, let alone encountering a losing streak up to 5 times and above, This scenario happened recently, during last week, I chose some games that ran from last week down to this week and all my games was in the red, as the league competitions and the European football season of 2023/2024 has just ended and the games we have now on going happens to be the world cup qualifiers games and the international friendlies; However, I'm more of focused on football betting, so the teams I picked to win were,

Egypt to win,
France to win Canada,
Switzerland to win Austria,
Portugal to win Croatia and
Sweden to win Serbia in their respective games,

And reason to select these teams was that I was actually targeting odds that came up a bit, Well, to my latest surprise none of these games were in the money and I can't really recall the last time I had such a losing streak, and the annoying part was that I didn't place this game on same slip, it was a single game all through and secondly some had different match date.

Now, assuming if I happened to be someone who doesn't manage risk or go way above my budget, this would have wrecked my betting balance.

Lesson so far, the need to manage risk is highly recommendable, stick to plans and never go above your plan, all this while my profits have been much higher than my loses, but a single week took the majority of those profits, Therefore, even though you are these profitable person in gambling just as I have been all this while, there may be a rainy day for you and what would protect you are these strategies in place.

Have you had this experience before, and how were you able to manage/handle it?

[/pre]

Yes, I had a similar experience. I lost some matches that I was confident in. I can’t say that you can be sure of anything in gambling, but there are games in which the probability of winning is much greater, the coefficient there is not large, but because of the high probability, I sometimes bet on such events. So, several of my bets did not go through and I decided to take a break. I think that when the result does not live up to your expectations, you need to take a break so that under the influence of emotions you do not make mistakes and start winning back your losses, which will most likely lead to even greater losses

Having constant losses is not new in gambling. This is why it is important to always have a gambling budget based on our financial standing. This will help gamblers to control these losses and it will not affect them financially. For me, I have a gambling budget which guides and helps me to control my losses. There were times when I didn't have a single win for over two to three weeks but it has not affected me negatively. Gambling should be seen as fun this is why losses shouldn't be an impediment to enjoying gambling. Gambling is unpredictable so having the mentality that you will always win is wrong. Therefore there is a need to prepare for rainy days because it will surely come.

How were you able to handle a losing streak up to 5 times and above? By doing stop although some people are gonna found this is very difficult because of emotion or addiction if you still have it. But the way I stopped after the losing streak was when I ran out of budget. Believe me bro I do chase losses couple times and I do gamble until my body shaking because losing streak and cant stop at the end I just do gamble till my balance is run dry take a deep breath and let it go

Never experienced a losing streak of up to that amount both in betting on World Cup qualifying matches and friendly matches because I rarely or almost never bet on multi bets.

We cannot deny that people often lose when betting on national team matches, especially on friendly matches.
Most of all I refrain from betting on qualifying rounds or friendlies played by national teams because it is difficult to guess considering the players in the squad of each national team are very different from the squad of the teams played in the league.

Maybe to overcome this, restrain yourself before official tournaments such as Euro, Copa America start.
If you can't help yourself, don't force yourself to bet on a multi bet.

I had a very unpleasant experience in slots, which left me with a negative experience.
Once I won 100 bonus dollars, and I could withdraw them from the casino, but I decided to play slots that I had never played. I'm sorry that I didn't remember what these slots were called, but there was something very similar to Skyrim: Vikings and dragons. I decided to make a game with huge stakes and put up $10 per spin.
And imagine that after 10 spins I didn't get anything! I have never won at least 1 dollar. It was extremely frustrating...

each gambler may be different when faced with a losing streak, some act normally and think that it is common in gambling, some are stressed because they feel that it is unfair to them, and some even respond by gambling again with a bigger bet than the one they previously bet. so maybe people will respond differently to their losses, and i feel that you are one of the responsible gamblers because you respond to this wisely and stick to the plan that you have determined at the beginning. and responsible gamblers should be like that because they already understand the risks of gambling and are ready to accept whatever the results of their gambling.

In general, when I have bad luck, I don't feel like playing. There are times when betting less, leaving more time between sessions and doing it in a more relaxed way, things look better. If you lose again you think, 'fuck it, I won't play again'. But in the end, at some point you bet again and the tables turn.

The OP talks about sports betting but my experience is more in casinos.

5x losing streak in sports betting is common for us because we are chasing victory with the favorite team but the results are not as expected this is normal but I feel where the same as your position feels upset because all the betting money is exhausted because the bet does not make any money.

I don't really focus on friendly matches the results will not be the same as what you said above, friendly matches have no value whatsoever that they pursue unless the competition is about to start like EURO then the game will be different again...

So it's better to wait for the competition matches, you should never expect friendly matches to be easy for us it's a little more difficult to analyze because some players don't seem to be serious.

As a gambler, we make loss sometimes due to our luck or making wrong decisions. I don't think I have had such huge loss encounter before as I usually focus more on less than more bets so I can reduce my total loss while gambling. Well it's a normal thing that cannot be avoided for a gambler as not everytime you will see a green day. Some times might be red and during this period a responsible gambler would exist his gambling activities and come back another day. I do same when I make loss and avoid anything that would want to tempt me into returning to the game once more. I guess that's how I am able to handle my losses and reduce it during my gambling activities.

There are bad times and good times with gambling; you bear the bad times and enjoy the good times because you cannot be a perfect bettor. Accept the reality in gambling that you cannot always be a winner.

I usually stop betting for one or two weeks if I experience big losses. This is to ease up your pocket and stop the depression brought about by excessive and continuous losses.

It has a positive effect on my pocket and mind, and I also recommend it to those who experience losing streaks.

How were you able to handle a losing streak up to 5 times and above?

It's a fatal mistake if you lose five times in a row, this is really messy, 5/2 might still make sense if 5/0 if that happens it could frustrate me.
Yesterday I also placed an international friendly football bet between Portugal vs. Croatia I put the score 2 for Croatia at the end of the match ended 1-2 I succeeded for Croatia points, so did France vs. Canada I didn't put a score on both, I chose 0-0 I dealt with the loss based on the Netherlands vs. Canada match. Canada, for me the Netherlands are strong teams and if they meet France vs. Canada, I speculate that both teams are evenly matched.

During the match Switzerland vs. Austria I lost, because I put Austria score points 2, the end of the match 1-1, but it doesn't matter for me because I have a win of two matches meaning 3/1 two for me one for them.

My experience, in international friendly football matches to cover a loss, check their history during the match of both teams for example: Sweden vs. Serbia look at the final results of the two teams, before the bet is placed, you can judge during their tournament which one has the points and the chance of winning when both of them compete.

Whenever I have a losing streak I take it as a sign that I have been gambling too much and need to take a break. This break have been so very beneficial because it's kind of brings me back to reality of how much I have lost and how much I will lose if I continue to bet. It also seems as a time for rest and getting a new betting template for myself.

Winning bets Isnt easy as it appears in first apporach. We know all that France Is a better team then Canada but this doesn' means they Will able to win all matches. If this happens... These events are not just quoted...

Best solution to losing streak Is easy. Take a pause. Enjoy your free time. Take a long break too if needed.
Never try to recover your loss.

That's true, even though there is a team that is strong, that doesn't mean they can't be beaten, or it doesn't mean they can win all the matches smoothly like you said. because anything can happen while it is taking place, what's more, betting does not completely depend on predictions and experience or even knowledge alone, but luck also plays a role in this. Even though betting like this requires knowledge and skill to do it, that doesn't mean that luck doesn't exist, luck is still there and will play its role, apart from that I think the OP himself has said the solution that must be taken when he experiences a losing streak.

In fact, it's not complicated what to do when you experience consecutive defeats, including only losing once. The solution is actually not complicated. as you said, taking a break to rest is what must be done because of course when the bet you make ends in defeat it will usually affect our thinking which triggers emotions, and of course the best choice is to stop and rest by resting our thoughts and situation to become calmer. and yes, don't ever try to recover losses that are almost impossible, miracles can happen with the bets made.

Honestly, it is too hard to accept if we already assume to win because at the moment we fail, we really feel bad and disappointed and would raise our temper. A 5-time losing streak is not good but we can't blame other people for this nor the casino, we are just too unlucky not to get any favor.

Five losing streak is common in casinos. There are times I would win continuously before I will lose and there are times that I will lose continuously in casino. This is different from when you are betting on sport matches. If you read what the OP posted, you will see that he is talking about sport and not casinos.

Quote from: Yamifoud on June 11, 2024, 07:06:31 AM

In this case, I would rather stop and pause for a while because this already tells something bad, and the more we push through, the more we lose. Chasing winning is just like we are chasing losses, that is why it is necessary to know how to control our emotions and a need to stop.

What I noticed about my friends and including myself, if you are not betting on virtual matches and in-play, you may select a match today and wait till tomorrow or more before you will select another matches. There is always a break. We may have different experiences on this but I think you are talking more about casinos and not sport.

I usually hate betting on friendly matches, because unpredictable results seem to appear more often(well, that's just my opinion, I can't back it up with statistical data).
It's not the end of the world. Just move on and forget about it. The teams on your betting list seem to have similar strength(except France vs. Canada) so it's not surprising that Croatia won against Portugal or Switzerland and Austria ended 1-1. At the end of the day, luck is still an important factor in sports betting and we shouldn't be emotionally attached to our wrong decisions.

Stop betting and try to rest by studying the mistakes that occurred, this is sports betting and not casino game so we have the opportunity to study every analysis and prediction that we have made previously.
I always do this kind of thing if I get more losses from several betting slips that I have, after that try to consider the use of money in the next betting session and try to minimize the amount of expenses from the bets taken.
It true that won't be able to guarantee anything, but at least can make much better predictions and manage money wisely to avoid much bigger losses, after all, losing is natural thing to happen.

By the way, I would like to remind you that never bet and make betting choices based only on the existing odds, indeed the top team definitely has low odd and some people think that the team will definitely win.
But basically odd is just number that shows who is ahead and will never guarantee that the team will win, many unexpected things happen in sports betting so must always be careful.

The teams you had chosen weren't bad but it's just that luck doesn't favor us sometimes, and even though sports betting is not mainly about luck but it's mostly about your knowledge about the sport and the teams involved, sometimes luck plays its role and when it does, the games that we might think are guaranteed wins for us will turn into losses and we can do nothing about it.

It was wise of you not to increase your bet after each loss because that would cost you a lot of money, and I would probably do the same thing. Or, I would stop after two or three consecutive losses to reevaluate my strategy and to do more research, maybe look more into the sides involved to choose the side that might perform better even though things might not go your way all the time, this can be helpful sometimes.

I think someone hitting a losing streak of 5 or more should take a break to calm their nerves to avoid making reckless decisions because those losses might have not cost you much but single wrong decision would cause more damage.
