Topic: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? (Read 3020 times)

Yes it is an unhealthy idea to pursue recovery in a place that has absolutely no certainty and guarantees, and it is clear from some of the cases that we find that in the end they end up losing more money, they know it but strangely they still do it, I can't understand how they think and consider. One of the things that makes them lose money is because they gamble but they put the idea of recovery in the same place, doesn't that make no sense? of course, so this is the reason why it is always recommended to gamble with money that you can afford to lose, because this makes it less likely for you to chase losses.

Another thing as you said that gambling only depends on luck while the name of luck can never be known when it comes or in this sense is why there is absolutely no guarantee and certainty whatsoever in terms of winning. On the other hand yes I admit that it is possible that luck can lead you to recovery, although it is hard to believe but it does happen but it is very unlikely to be able to get out of gambling with all the money you have lost.

Entertainment doesn't have to be an addiction, the same goes for gambling because if some people consider gambling as entertainment, of course they have also prepared funds that they can afford to lose as payment. I think this is not much different from someone who wants to spend their time just drinking coffee and relaxing at a tourist spot for which they both have to pay with money. So that people who gamble and consider it as entertainment are not controlled by their emotions and ambition to win because they are definitely prepared enough to lose.

While gambling is sure to result in profit and loss, a person can always win the fortune, never. To win must lose, believing you spend more of your money gambling. If you use your money properly you will surely win gambling and divide your money into two parts. Especially before you become addicted to gambling, if you quit gambling and retire two days a week, you will surely win more at gambling. A person can win mostly in gambling based on strategy and intelligence alone.

Well, when we are seeing that things can turn out better, we have to have control of our money, seeking revenge or seeking to win when we have lost a lot of money will never be the right decision, do not play with money that way because otherwise you will lose very much. easily, in this aspect we must be intelligent and not do things based on emotions, it is true that emotions are difficult to control, but in this aspect I have always said that it is not so much the emotion but the discipline, the discipline is the factor that influences so that we can control everything.

I believe the reason why most gamblers tend to lose control or allow their emotions to cloud their judgement most times is often because they're really don't understand the game, they don't understand the mechanism of gambling or even the rules.
Gambling just like every other things has its own rules of engagement and if a gambler is ignorant of these rules, he tends to make mistakes along the way and the losses becomes inevitable. Gambling should at all time be approached or engaged with a levelled head, at all time, one should always be in control of his finances, know your limits (how much you can afford to lose) and stick to it no matter what happens, and if eventually you've exhausted your limit, there's no need to keep trying because this is the point where most gamblers often get themselves into deep shit, they'll keep on trying and trying until they've exhausted what's left of them.

Yeah, control loss heads to money loss and manipulates the spending choices of the gambler. It's all a game of mind I'd tag it. Money is a vital resource for any business to strive and gaining any form of control over a player will fetch more profits to the gambling industry. Hence, more players will be interested in making quick money while the house looks out to weaken the emotional strength of the gambler. The sessions would be filled with losses and the gambler wouldn't have the control to do other things.

I feel those strong impulses, but it's easily forgotten, at some point the winning holds us back to try again, then we lose more. It's just a calculated process that delays a player until he is no longer prepared to think of stopping. He'd gain more losses in the process pushing the player to a darker stage of control loss. The weary journey continues till the player regains control through some form; self or family help.

Sometimes it's really not the fault of most gamblers who consider gambling to be a job, some is as a result of failed government and economy, not being able to provide jobs or even means their citizens can earn a good livelihood, this is often the situation of most countries in the world, so rather than going to steal, they'd run to gambling to be their safe haven, which isn't supposed to be so, like you rightly said, people shouldn't gamble if they don't have jobs, but these set of gamblers consider gambling to be their jobs, and some of them actually do feed off from it, and some end up getting into more troubles than they initially were.

Well, I think at this point, I have a question, a genuine one, and the question is, after a gambler gambles and loses, but he or she still feels like to gamble again, is this referred to as the gambler chasing after his loses in from the previous gambling session?

I am asking this question because, I personally think we sometimes, like to complicate things for ourselves, it was never laid or written down as a rule that, when ever a person loses money to gamble, that he or she should stop gambling, that if he or she continues to gamble, then that automatically means that he or she is chasing after his or her previous loses, the fact that I was driving, and I had an accident, but came out good, does not mean I should stop or quit driving right?

Gambling is a game where you either win or lose, it's important for gamblers to always have this at the back of their minds, and also, gambling is a money making venture, when you lose money to gambling and decide to quit because of that, it simply means that not only were you gambling for profit, but also you were even prepared to encounter a loss, and this wrong, every gambler should always prepare for lose, for no matter what, you can't win every game of bet you play or place.

The cause of big losses from gambling is because they still hope to recover previous losses in gambling, even though they definitely know that it is not recommended to recover losses from uncertain results and every gambler definitely knows that gambling is just luck with no guarantee of being able to return the funds that have been lost but there is another risk of losing higher funds.

Even though there are several opinions from gamblers who can recover losses, be sure that it is luck without guarantees, because he will not get lucky a second time so don't hope for the same chance as other people, but close gambling if you have lost a big loss, save other funds for needs that take priority over those funds lost in gambling.

Actually they are aware positively knowing good or bad paths. It's just that people who have played gambling have felt a big victory. And on the other hand most people are big ambitions because the defeat of money that has been lost becomes uncontrolled emotional is a mess in time. which starts to assume entertainment will become an addict because it is too optimistic

I totally agree with you, I have said it over and I er again as this remains the truth we need to stop pretense that we don't all gamble to make money but have fun which sort of fun that couldn't be gotten from other activities,lol this is a therapy used to careless about losses made.


Losses are certain. After a huge loss which have met your limit for that day, keep off till the next rather than revenging or breaking your rules. Well if you can't or endure the losses there is no need to keep gambling in other to preserve your emotional health.

Well, having the mindset of gambling as fun is the best, but still, you may at the same time not deny yourself of making the money in there if you have the opportunity, and the opportunity will not even come if you do not give it all that it takes. For me, the only difference here should be the mindset we have in trying to make the money in gambling, if the mindset is bad, then everything could be bad and can lead to desperation and frustration. But if the mindset is good, no matter the outcome, it will not hurt much even as the gambler is not taking it as a do-or-die affair, it is never a must to earn through gambling.

Whether we like it or not as well, gambling can't be pretended as an avenue to have fun without the temptation of making money, and if I may ask, how many people are even having fun in gambling or taking it as a fun-filled avenue? If there are, the percentage will be so little. This means that most people are gambling for the money and we can't eliminate the fact that so many people are professionals too and are making money through it. This is why I always advocate sports betting to make gambling easier and still override some of what you alleged gambling and the house of. But when it comes to the casino itself, then you could be mostly right.

Man, chasing losses? The way is gloomy. You become lured in thinking the next bet would win. Control loss, not money loss, is the issue. Gambling is designed to manipulate your emotions and hope until you crack. Smart players know when to quit. They know the chances and recognize that sometimes your night is off. They don't let prior losses influence them because each wager is a new dice roll

How do some guys escape the trap? All about awareness. They understand gambling, themselves, and their boundaries. Know when to hold back, not throw caution to the wind. They know that lengthier games increase the odds against you. Instead of trying to erase their losses, they adjust their strategy to avoid digging themselves deeper. Protecting your cash and psyche are both important.

That's right, they have lost a huge amount of money in gambling but strangely they intend to pursue recovery in the same place, which means this is absurd and unjustified, meaning that they are irresponsible people who are unable to accept the fact of losing in their gambling activities, because after all, they should have understood from the beginning and already knew that the risk of losing is a part of gambling that can never be separated, so it makes no sense for them to act to pursue recovery, and this is the reason why someone who tries to pursue their losses ends up losing more.

I think it's clear that the idea of chasing losses in gambling is ultimately only going to make them lose more, all because gambling is always an activity that lacks certainty and guarantees, so how can you reach the recovery phase without the assurance and certainty of always being able to win? So of course in the end the best thing is to let go of what you've lost and then stop completely, this is the best way for you to avoid the possibility of losing much more.

Chasing your losses does not make sense in more ways than one, after all if a person lost so much money while gambling that they are considering doing something to recover it, why do they try to to do this while gambling even more?

Do they fail to realize that if they lost so much money once, it could happen again? So they might as well just give up, accept they made a mistake and try to recover that money by reducing their expenses and save some money during the next months.

I agree with that, most gamblers should get rid of the thought of returning something that was lost before because usually this is the thought that will actually lead them to a worse situation, because after all in gambling chasing losses can never be justified because it will only make you experience more losses, and this is also the reason why we are advised to gamble with the amount of money we can afford to lose, namely so that we don't chase losses when we lose.

As you said and I think it's a fact that when a gambler tries to chase losses then it will only lead them to greater stress especially when it turns out that along the way they lose again and obviously this is a situation that will make themselves experience more significant emotions and stress which will most likely make them take more crazy actions without realizing it and this scenario is what makes gamblers end up losing all the money they have in an instant.

Gamblers have no need chasing losses as it's not a vital strategy of gambling. It only causes troubles for the player. And it's right tagging them the worst people, as the repercussions is quite very much on players who misbehave. Going after the losses is almost a well known mistake in the gambling niche. Players who don't stop after losing, are considered to be chasing losses. Whenever the losses begin to get worse the player is meant to stop gambling. Unless the person's motive is to earn money in gambling, he's supposed to limit losses.

Excessive losses causes anxiety to the player. Waiting endlessly to win big in gambling is enough trouble to the gambler's emotions. More like doing things and not getting any results. The house plotted these strategies to gain more profits from compulsive and reckless gamblers who don't pay attention to responsible details in gaming. Players with lesser greed in them easily escape excessive losses. Few hours into the game reevaluating strategies and knowing the exact decision to take is quite a good quality of a responsible player with lesser tendency of greediness.

First of all , no one should be allowed to bet without a job and unfortunate the one who are betting the most are the one without a job and that can become very risky for their character. Now , we all know gambling is not meant to be a winning session and most of the times you will end up losing and when that happens , close the website , forget about gambling and start focusing on how to improve yourself but also your incomes. Besides this ...I can't really give better advice so make sure you're not jobless while gambling. 

People with such Mentality forget that in gambling losing is inevitable, winning is not always guaranteed so whenever you win a huge profit from gambling instead of having a second thought of making more from your winnings the best option is to take profit and leave or take 80-90% of your winning and leave the remaining 10 to try again with but some people are so greedy that they would want to try again with half of their winning or even 80% of it sometimes. The worst set of people are those who lose and would want to chase their lose, I consider it worst because most people have lost more to gambling due to that, the best thing to do when you lose from gambling is to take a break, relax for some time restrategise and come back again to try luck cause I take gambling as a game of luck due to the fact that the house has the most edge.

The problem is that this happens because of the level of greed to get a big win, but in reality we will lose everything after risking it all. At a certain level, greed will play too far psychologically and we are unable to control the desire to stop, gambling like this is no longer enjoyable but too focused on pursuing uncertain wins. Greed occurs due to the inability to control and is more about the desire to win big.

Almost not many people are lucky with this condition because the next time they bet they lose money from their winnings. In fact, we only realize it when it happens and perhaps almost all gamblers feel this without exception. The victory that we should be able to enjoy actually ends in complete defeat and that is why gambling must be carried out only for fun.
