Topic: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? - page 12. (Read 4225 times)

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 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.

I agree with your first sentence of gambling being where we spend money, but the popular notion with people is that gambling is a means to earn money, and some even go as far as taking gambling as means to become rich quick which have oftentimes end them in frustrating outcome and result.


Gambling shouldn't be taken as anything other than fun because once you take away to the fun from gambling, you end up with frustration since the house edge is always there to put the casino at an advantage over the players.

This kind of behavior is really hard for some gamblers. Moving on or at least remove the thought of trying to recover their previous losses to have a fresh start the next time they play gambling. They don't know that it has an emotional impact that the more they think of recovering their losses, the more pressure they have with themselves. This kind of mistake is very common, the result is they often had a rush decision with every bet they make and lose more in the long run.

        -   All gamblers who enter the casino experience that, in fact, rich or poor gamblers face such a scenario. But no matter how many times most people experience that, it doesn't matter because the casino has a charisma to attract gamblers, which is also difficult to explain and is repeated over and over again.

If you think about it, even I wonder sometimes that I often lose gambling, but I still go back and play at the casino even though I know that I will just throw money away.

Yes, especially for beginners who have just come, however as you said that it is really advisable to first understand how gambling really is, because in any case when you understand this then usually you can make a decision that is in accordance with your abilities, or that means when you understand that gambling is not only a matter of winning opportunities but also the possibility of losing then I think you will not be rash in every decision because I'm sure everyone doesn't like the name losing money.

Therefore this is why we always recommend to treat gambling in moderation, because after all the idea of earning in gambling will never work, because the possibility of losing can never be avoided completely and will continue to lurk you during your session and also casinos always make gamblers who act excessively as their target to seek more profit from the number of gamblers who act excessively and this is also the reason why when we gamble too often then usually the number of losses is even greater. And I'm sorry to hear about the girl who stole money just to gamble, and we can see that she lost, which means that no matter how much money you bet and where you get it from if luck is not on your side then in the end it is clear that you will have the same fate as the girl.

Playing with a desire of recovering your losses are not really healthy. As you've said, you'll end up losing more. There are gamblers who have such thinking because they can't move on and the usual reason is, the money they spent in gambling is the money that they can't live without. Thus, trying to recover it is their goal on why they continue to gamble. Well, moving on is hard if you can't accept the result.

Therefore, learn to accept the reality that many gamblers are losing their money than gaining in gambling. This way you'll have less expectation to win because not everyone are fortunate to experience winning a decent amount. So if you lose, refrain from playing for a while, and just play if you already forget your last gaming session wherein you lose your money.

Addiction is something we need to understand especially those that have been addicted to something before for the understanding to be completed. A lots of people are suffering because they are addicted to gambling and every single penny they have would want to be used to bet maybe they would win the bet. This is not how a gambler need to behave. There should be discipline because this is what is going to help us to stay safe while being a gamble.

We don't have to mess things up and make our addiction to be versatile when we are supposed to try and reduce it because the consequences can be more than ones expectations.

It would be heartbreaking if you are someone whose really that been expecting positively towards their gambling activity on which they've been thinking about those positive results or whatsover when it comes to winning money. You would really be having that huge disappointment and getting pissed if you have that been experiencing the different result on what you are expecting. This is why it would really be best that you should really be that make yourself that realize that gambling isnt for money making but rather it is really that for entertainment and leisure. It might sounds that pretty basic but on the time that you would really be dealing of with it then it would really be starting to make yourself having that kind of different approach on which this is something that you would really be needing to changed up accordingly.
Gamble for fun and not for the money and this is something that you do need to instill into your mind so that you wont really be finding yourself that get lost.

Well for me, I will continue gambling to recover my lost even if it's not all but at least some to make me feel at ease and we know that gambling is not something that we can easily left behind especially if we are losing more than our winning, and when I have the mindset to recover my lost, I still lose more so I will apply another strategy, that is I will give it a break then before continuing again, by that time, I have calm my nerves down a bit but it's very bad to have such habits because it will still make us to lose more money. So it's better to gamble responsibly and think of gamble as a form of entertainment.

There is no doubt that the after results to Gambling is always heart breaking that's if you are on the losing side but when its the latter the case is also different. But the truth is that only some gamblers suffer from this as you have stated clearly and those set of persons are the crazy gamblers that tend to put their hopes on gambling to give profits on their every try but the one thing most gamblers forget is that this gambling of a thing especially the casino is a business and you can't expect the business owner to lose so that's why losing is a fixed thing in gambling it's boils down to how well you are able to cope with it.

I will say about one of the things that makes them feel sad when they lose, which is because they put too much hope in winning so when it turns out that the results are not what they expected then it is natural that they feel sad.

In fact, in any case it is the same, if you put too much hope and confidence then if it turns out that things do not go according to what you want then obviously you will be sad or disappointed, and if you ask me about who should be blamed in this case, I will clearly say that the one who should be blamed is the gamblers themselves because they put their hopes and beliefs in the wrong place, Because after all, the name of the betting activity will always be about winning and losing, meaning that you will not always be able to end the session with a win but there will also always be sessions that end in defeat and that is natural because this is gambling. So I think it's clear that what needs to be corrected is your perspective on gambling.

Well I feel like quoting only the topic because it's a very important question. However, many gamblers feels sad when they lose money on bets because they can't afford to lose what they gambled. And some gambler doesn't feel bad when they lose their bets because they gamble wisely.

That is why it is better for players to first study many points before making crazy bets, I think the most important of them is how and on what things the casino makes money, because the most important thing lies on the surface. This is what the casino makes from players who cover operating costs and make a profit. Players seem to miss this moment and think that only they will make money, while others will lose, it’s just ridiculous to think like that. I will add that today I saw the news how in my country a girl at work stole a huge amount to place a bet, but lost everything, now her life is almost broken, she needs to pay off her debts. We need to be smarter and not do those things for which we will have to pay for the rest of our lives.
