Topic: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? - page 10. (Read 4143 times)

The casino is a place that tests us and our weaknesses. Everyone wants to improve their living conditions and this is a normal desire.
And when someone wins a lot of money, or sees a person who was able to win a lot of money, then the inner thoughts about him change. Casino winnings are like an advertisement that is transmitted from person to person. And then everyone starts wanting quick and easy money. But after many unsuccessful games, many remain losers.
And the only winner is always the casino.

I do not know how blaming others will help in this case if we lose in gambling. You will not get the money back, so it will not lessen your sad feeling, so why do people blame others when they lose in gambling? The blame game will not help the gambler. They will blame the one who brought them to gambling but they won't quit after losing. They will say that the gambling site is rigged but they keep playing even after losing, which means that those gamblers are not yet ready for losses 


Have a plan too because setting a budget for gambling and losing it all within a a day or two won't help. People say that gambling is luck-based, and nothing can be planned, I think they are wrong. We need to prepare our risk management, portfolio management and money management. Once a gambler has all these plans, they won't lose big in gambling.

I don't believe that saying "Quitters never win."  when it comes to gambling. It's about life, jobs, and business only in my opinion. You don't quit your job because you will find yourself more miserable in the process without any funds coming in. The same goes with businesses where they should thrive to keep the business growing and not quit because of one small problem.

In my opinion, when it comes to gambling, winners are the quitters. You win big amounts, you go withdraw and quit for a while, take a rest, and enjoy the profits. If you are a loser and don't have any money anymore then quit for a while too and just let it all sink in to think about a new strategy or whatever path you want to go next. The more often you quit gambling to take a rest, the better because it makes you think clearly and maybe make a better decision the next time you come back. In this method, you are also avoiding gambling addiction.

The OP's question is funny,if you should lose in gambling,then you have to continue or quit.Two things are always involved when it comes to gambling and trading,it's either you continue playing more,or you quit.One of them is what you have to apply.Its what you just need to do, because no one is always on the neutral side,either they win you or you win,by there is a saying that says that winners never quit,and quitters never win,because if you want to win,you will always keep playing and if you want to quit,you cannot never win.This is what it is.
So if you see that it's not favouring you,you better quit,and if you can't quit,don't complain.

when you are addicted with gambling and you doesn't have a cash to fund or facilitate your gambling I think that you will quit gambling freely, the thing that makes us to think that gambling is something that we most be addicted is when you have a cash frequently but when you don't have cash to facilitate your gambling ambition I don't think you will be participating in gambling, if we have the mindset to stop gambling you will stop it no matter how addicted you are in gambling you will stop gambling successful without anything, I know that gambling is something that use to have influence in human life but if you have good knowledge and focus you will know that their nothing that starts that doesn't have end, summary, people choose to not be addicted.

Quitting gambling is a difficult task for a person who is addicted to gambling and who gambles regularly. You cannot easily get rid of something that has become a habit. A gambler loses a bet and when he later gambles again to recover his losses he loses again and at one point he gets bored and plans to quit gambling. But after two or one days the person is again involved in gambling and as the reason he mentions that he was wrong in the amount of money he lost and he will not make that mistake now and he will recover the money he lost. A gambler will give you a thousand reasons why he gambles because he somehow doesn't want to quit gambling so he has multiple reasons to gamble.

Well, for me, I feel and have always felt that it's impossible to a person to have two missions as to why they gamble, that is, it's impossible to gamble for fun, and at the same time, be interested in making money, one will always over shadow the other in the short term, and soon, you will discover that you are either gambling as a way to have fun, or gambling as a way of trying to make some money for yourself, there is a never in-between or another option.

There is actually no shame in gambling solely to make money, as far as the gambler understands fully the rules of gambling, and knows how to control him or herself, for times when things seem not to be going the way he or she planned in terms of outcome of games.

Before someone will signed up in gambling I think he/she might have known or should be aware of what is involve in gambling. And to an extent I think gambling is grace because there's nothing like luck but nowadays they mistake grace to luck. So if you played for some years or a long time and yet your winnings is nothing to compare with the loss you are making (loss >win) I will advise the person to take a brake or better still stop gambling because it's not for everybody. There are people that, a week will not pass and they won't win up to millions of naira or more depending on the staking power Sha. That money most people spent on gamble and does not favor them if they should save it and  invest in business I believe they will do absolutely well and one thing people don't know is that gambling is not for poor people, I wonder how someone that is struggling to survive will remove money that he is suppose to you use and eat to gamble, to me I think it's madness.

Every time I hear stories about gamblers who swore their self-control, but suddenly forgot everything after a big win, I feel sad. Having received a large amount in a casino, many people begin to believe that this is a new source of income, and this is already the first step towards gambling addiction.
"It is important to remember that a casino is entertainment, not a way of earning money," we tell ourselves, but no one knows how he will start thinking after a huge loss.

Lol that's true , there's no need to blame others for something you do yah self , because if you keep blaming others for your own personal
mistakes you won't be able to grow. Because you haven't admit to yah self that yah the one that's at fault that you need to work on yah

self, so that is a pretty good one , one should blame his selves not others. That's the reason most people kept making the same mistakes and blaming others instead on working on themselves.

I know right I mean if you blaming someone you need to blame yourself not other because you do it yourself. and I quite agree with you blaming other is stupid hahha.

Set a budget and forget the past

No matter if that's difficult to stops, we must still trying to prevents the big lose because many people already have that experienced and we must prevents it happens to us. If we can't holds ourselves from gambling, we can becomes addicted to gambling and that can gives us a big problem in our lives. We must care about the money we use to gambling and don't have to risks much money because we have other things to fills. If we lose, we must stops from playing gambling and not to thinks about recover the lose because we have the bad experience of losing the money from gambling. Besides that, we can gets angry or sad when we lose more money in gambling so we must be careful when playing gambling and always take care of ourselves with cautious.

Not entirely true, addiction often occurs to people who lost their control overthemselves.  So even if a person is only gamble to have fun, there is still a possibility that the person involved can trigger addiction of he lost control of himself.

To explain it, in satisfaction there is this thing called diminishing return.  Meaning if a person is into gambling only for fun, and is fixed on the time and fund, there will be a time where he won't be satisfied on his activity anymore.  As a result he will possibly allocate more time and more fund to meet the satisfaction he wanted to have.  So increasing time or fund will expose him longer to gambling activities and if he failed to control himself, he might find himself totally hooked to the game and eventually addicted to it.


Again this is partially true, there are lots of people who have jobs or employed that got addicted to gambling.  It is not that the person have lots of time or don't have job that is why they got addicted.  Itis that the person had lose their control over their gambling activities and together with different factors get them addicted.


In my opinion this is partially correct, other people who are employed does not have any restriction over their activity outside their job.  Since they are free to do so, many tends to lack discipline and is not able to limit themselves once they got fond of what they are doing.  Self-discipline does not rely on whether the person is employed or not employed, it relies on the nature of the person and how he has grasp on his self.

It's funny that it's habit is very common among people who are actually struggling with gambling addiction and it takes time to stop it.  It's never easy to stop when one loses money in gambling no matter how much is the money, as far as they lose it, they will want to take it back by placing a bet in order to win and this can make someone to go as far as borrowing money from family or friends, and then it will cause them to be restless and very angry which might lead to violence if care not taken. So as for me anytime I encounter that and I tried recovering my money and no way, I will just look for something to keep myself busy by engaging in sports or playing music or by taking a walk and I will also console myself that besides am not alone in this kind of thing, that is why it's important to gamble responsibly and also seek help when needed.

In fact, it is not recommended to chase losses, when gambling ends in defeat then as much as possible we must be able to control ourselves by stopping there, don't gamble at that moment, it is better to go to rest and come back another day which may be there. luck that can be obtained another day and give us victory. Know that gambling is a big risk, it can make us lose money, especially if we lose self-control. Losing self-control in gambling is the same as losing a large amount of money. '

I think those who chase losses are people who don't accept that the money they bet on is lost, so when they experience defeat or lose money they can't accept it so there are thoughts that encourage them to gamble again because they want to recover the losses that have occurred, they want Money that has been lost in gambling is the same as hoping for something that is not certain, therefore we should not chase losses instead of having bigger problems.

Big hug brother.
This is very useful, wether entertainment, ambitious, whatever gambling is gambling. They all want to give it names the truth is as far as you're in charge of your gambling habits you're in a safe zone but same time improve in other areas of your life and not only building orientation on gambling.

It's choice, no one will come to save you, have limits. Let me clear this chase after profit;  A gambler whose limits hasn't been meet for that day is permitted to gamble if any opportunity present itself but same time not over leverage to then breach the limit just to recover the previous loss.
This serves as a edge on how you go about it and I guess you all understand.

However, no matter the reason why a gambling is gambling, he shouldn't chase his loses, even though he is gambling for fun or entertainment purposes. I believed gambling is a very sensitive thing that one should not put his whole mind on it, the more a gamblers chase lose the more he loose more money. Moreover as a gambler you shouldn't feel bad because you believed that gamble is a risk thing.

Indeed, playing gambling if you consider it entertainment is definitely a different sensation from people who gamble with big ambitions hoping to win. On the other hand, maybe people who consider gambling entertainment because they feel like they are in a broken position, make gambling just entertainment and are ready to lose money. different from gambling with ambition, there will be an extraordinary sensation by looking for tricks/flaws in playing the game in order to win

I maybe should start following these advices,may be start to go out running every time I got a desire for gambling,if I did it my bank account surely would be much bigger and I would be happier I guess.I always want to quit gambling and grow my bank account balance yet so far the desire to hit it huge with a max win is much bigger than following a hobby like go out running or going to the theatre or just do something else except gambling.

Gambling is a mental conflict between hope and fear. We all want to win, but how do you handle losing? The real fucking test. Man, self-control is crucial. Gambling mirrors your innermost desires. Do you lose yourself in the present and chase losses like a fool? Do you take the chance and move on? Setting and maintaining limits? This game requires knowledge and fucking survival. I like how you advised to use that energy for good. Exercise, hobbies, whatever pulls you out of that terrible mindset. Gamble occasionally, not throughout your life. Keep it under check or it'll consume you. This is life, not a maze, so take charge
