If a gambler asks himself the questions you mentioned, he can easily find the answer what he wants or expects from gambling. Is he really turning into an addicted gambler or is he normal? If the gambler considers his position through these questions, he can easily find the answers to his questions. In this thread the OP wanted to know what to do if i lose gambling? For this I want to say a very simple thing that if I have the ability then I will gamble again and if I don't have the ability then I will take a temporary break from gambling. Whatever my gambling motive is I can never gamble if I don't have money. What I have to do that will depend on my financial ability.

I think it's clear that there's no better decision than to quit right then and there, not least because if you continue the session in a losing state then there's a good chance you'll get emotional and continue unconsciously, and this is a scenario where most gamblers get so caught up in the desperation that they move on to take a lot of impulsive actions based on emotion.

So the bottom line is that it is better to stop immediately and do other activities in your life that are indirectly useful to make you forget about the defeat you have experienced. But on the other hand although this is the best advice and decisions that lead to preventive action but the fact is that it is very difficult for them to do so where most of them continue the session with the intention and purpose of returning something that has been lost, and this is the reason why a gambler must understand that gambling is about winning and losing and it is natural because after all gambling is a betting activity that bets your money on two possibilities at the end of the session, and this is also the reason why we are always advised to be accountable for all the decisions we have made.

while it's true that theoretically, it's best to make proper planning before indulging in gambling, in reality most persons don't put in the effort to ensure that they make the needed plans that will see them to gambling responsibly. It's always a normal thing that when we have lost a huge tone of money in the process of gambling that we tend to want to get those money back through gambling and that if care isn't taken, there is a higher probability that might end up loosing more of our money in the process but at the end of the day, discipline is what's needed if we are going to have a fruitfull gambling journey where our looses doesn't really trigger us to getting ourselves involved in situations where we loose more money because we want to recover our looses.

Sometimes in a bit to recovering your looses there are individuals that gets lucky and win bad more that than they've lost in the process of gambling but this kind of scenario might not work out for everyone and so depending on the peculiarity ot your situations, you've got to know if it's work gambling to me recover your lost money or if it's best or reduce your rate of gambling for a while after which you can continue when you're emotionally strong again.

Those who are desperate in gambling are of course people who respond wrongly to gambling, with the initial thought that they can double the money they have so that it can increase quickly, but with that thought of course they will not be able to accept the losses that occur so there is a possibility that when the money If they lose what they gambled on, they can become desperate, and with that despair there are two possibilities that will happen, they will take revenge by gambling again in pursuit of victory or by realizing that gambling is not something that can definitely make them get money.
Also, if from the start their intention to gamble was to double their money, it could be that when they lose at gambling they may lose self-control, where they want to reverse the situation by putting money back in to get the win they want, instead of wanting to reverse the situation but In fact, it only causes them to experience more losses. It is not recommended to take inappropriate actions, but it cannot be denied that gambling does have a strong attraction.

I agree with you here. There is no one who would come and say they are not aware of the time they start getting desperate in their bet. Gradually they get more desperate when they begin to lose, they would want to go all in or sometimes have a double bet slip thinking if one does not win the other would. At this point it will be difficult to control themselves since they have passed the limit they could. The time they would have quit was when they made some little profit, but they choose to say and when they start experiencing losses, they would try to make amend which will lead them to cause more damage by losing all their bankroll.

Gambling is not just setting limits on using funds to gamble and more than we imagine, that we have to anticipate emotional control to avoid the effects of addiction, the fact is that all gamblers know to understand the basic rules that must be avoided from addiction, we claim gambling is just for fun and gambling with responsibility, but when we are gambling we have gone outside the rules in gambling due to the impact of emotional control.

we must examine ourselves based on our gambling history, whether we have gambled according to the rules and budget limits or we have gambled irresponsibly which has resulted in loss of funds and loss of time, we must immediately examine ourselves to decide whether you are worthy to continue gambling with the correct gambling rules or you must be rehabilitated before you experience the effects of an addiction that is difficult to cure.

This is to deal greatly with your emotions which is something very difficult to do.I start always by doing this ritual,I say to myself now I am going to play like 30-50 bucks and I use IDR-Indonesian Rupee so I can play much longer and have a lot of fun because I can use 0.02 dollars minimum bet,differently from playing with dollars which is 0.10-0.20 dollars minimum.Even so there are times when I get so mad at myself that the 30-50 bucks can easily be going to well over 500 in some worse case when I lose control and the rage cannot be controlled at that time.I mean,I know that I am doing it all wrong yet the rage is incredibly high that I keep playing.I doubt or I don't know anyone who is that fine in the art of controlling emotions that he has never overdone it like in the case I am talking here.

Gambling requires planning, like eating or renting. You must set a boundary or things get messy quickly. You stated losing yourself, which is a red indicator, pal. Check in with yourself honestly. "Am I having fun, or am I getting desperate?" You should leave if it's not fun. Being careful with gambling goes beyond money. Understanding your motivations. For thrills? An getaway from stress? Real change comes from understanding those causes, guy. You must limit your budget and mind. It's about long-term strategy, not just betting. That keeps gambling a choice, not an addiction

You're right: luck is crucial in gambling. Honestly, its a factor. Real winners, the top players, the bankers, understand strategy. Thats crucial. Luck brings you in, but strategy gets you paid.  The big hand isnt enough - you must know when to fold and walk away to win. The real skill is there. Greed? Its deadly, disastrous. Unbelievable speed at which winners become losers. The key is recognizing your limits. You win $100? Amazing! Take and celebrate. Trying to win someone else's grand? Poor odds on the bet. Follow your strategy, be proud of wins, and you'll always have more chips.

In rough terms yes, it is not only for someone who is addicted, but the orientation is very clear, but this can be consumed in general to get the knowledge.

Yes, everything does talk about it without exception to anticipate the bad things that might happen to us in terms of finance or life which is the impact of addiction to gambling, we must be really strict with ourselves in living the arrangements that we have made ourselves to keep ourselves disciplined and safe, but indeed this is difficult to do, and requires consistent habituation so that when losing continuously our mentality can position ourselves so that we are not easily provoked and prefer to stop and follow the arrangements.

playing excessively is not an option to win, but it is just one way for a gambler to get closer to addiction. because playing excessively is just a waste of the gambler's time, and what actually happens is that the gambler will lose more and more of their money the more they chase their winnings.

so what gamblers have to do is they need to regulate how their gambling is not excessive and is still within their limits. they need to see how their bankroll is doing and play at certain times only. especially when gamblers play games that rely on luck, they cannot force themselves to play continuously in this type of game, because the gambler's chance of winning is smaller than their loss, so they need to be wise in gambling on this type of game.

It true and this kind of attitude always appears in the heads of gamblers, when they are in good condition or get win, they will feel like they are having good day full of luck.
But that is actually the greed of gambler, they are not satisfied with what they can get and have the ambition to win much bigger, but that will not happen.
When decide to continue playing or betting, don't get another win, but series of defeats that result in number of previous wins being used up without any remaining, even along with certain amount of existing capital.
It is not easy to stop an activity or make the right decision when greed appears and cannot be controlled.

I personally have several jobs or other activities and this can be transition when I want to stop gambling, whether it winning or losing, I will still stop because there are other activities which are also job that I have to complete.

I agree with you. Anyone who gambles must have the principle of not being greedy, managing their emotions well and managing their finances well. Sometimes some people who are not addicted to gambling also experience big losses because they don't care about their finances and they gamble more than their budget can handle. I once saw a friend of mine who was not addicted to gambling but he bet quite large bets. This is different from gambling addiction because in my opinion gambling addiction is a situation where you gamble continuously even with small bet amounts. It not only disrupts your finances, but your life and family.

What you say, is what most gamblers should understand. however, it's not just for understanding so that we can do as you say. In gambling, sometimes we get carried away by situations and conditions, whether it's a winning situation or vice versa. Talking about defeat, in this discussion is commonplace. We all know every part of the risks of this hobby, the problem is how do we return ourselves to our original position. I mean, so that we are not influenced to make deposits repeatedly, especially if we have lost many times.

Well, what you said could be the answer based on the question in the title of this thread. it's just, as I said above. Understanding is important in gambling, responsibility and self-control come into play. In the end, we know the limits of what we can afford. If we are involved in every gambling session we do, then at least we won't do anything excessive. It is also important, to discipline ourselves so that we know every limit whether it is our situation to stop the game or vice versa. well, basically it all comes back to how each gambler handles his gambling.

Very often it happens that intuition fails a person, so always follow only intuition in gambling is not a very good decision. Act within your risk management and strategy and then you will be ready in advance for any result in gambling. Only cold calculation allows you to remain steadfast in the most incomprehensible for you situations. Intuition in such situations can lead to error, as well as emotions.

There is no winning strategy in gambling as it all depends to some extent on chance and chance. Experienced players emphasize the importance of strict financial management. Determine how much you are willing to spend and do not exceed this amount. Divide your bankroll and bet wisely Emotions should be controlled and discipline should be maintained. Don't let your feelings dictate your actions and don't try to recover loss after loss avoid taking too many risks even if they seem attractive.

You're absolutely right.
It's important for gamblers to always follow their instincts especially when you're struggling within yourself on a certain decision, for example, if a gambler is on a winning streak and then you get to point where you start losing, a gambler's instincts will always tell him to quit and walk away with what's left, but the greed in him will push him to continue so he can be able to recover all the losses. So it'seft for him to make his choice, whether to walk away or to continue.
Without being told, a responsible gambler would know that continuing to gamble in such a situation and ignoring his instincts would lead him to doom and regret.

The place to get the money is true but there is no guarantee that it can produce consistently. Casinos are designed for the game contained in it and there may be no certainty about the victory we get. If the casino gives a consistent victory, the owner will suffer a large loss and the machine designed will be controlled by people.

If your hunch says today is not lucky when playing bets, then you should stop because if you are forced to keep playing, you will finally experience defeat. Thinking to continue betting to restore the previous defeat is the wrong behavior because we are not able to guarantee in the next bet we will get a victory. I will stop if I experience this and return to play the next day if you want to continue.

In fact, in my opinion luck is much more important than strategy, strategy is only a complement while luck is the main key to confirming victory, achieving luck is very difficult because indeed everyone will never know when they can be lucky in any case but the fact is that there are always some gamblers who waste their luck by instead continuing the session because they are unable to ignore the greed that is in them, in the end instead of getting a bigger amount but in the end they lose all the money they managed to get at the beginning.

Luck varies and everyone has different luck, especially when it comes to winning in gambling, so if you have managed to win $100 for example then you should not think of copying someone else's winning amount of $1000 because as I said above that everyone has different luck, which is a lot of evidence that we can see that someone who is greedy and wants to get a much bigger win like everyone else then in the end they lose everything, and this is the reason why everyone's luck is different. Another thing is that yes I agree with you that gambling is always about winning and losing, you can win a large amount but you can also lose an even larger amount, hence this is the reason not to put excessive expectations on winning because it will create a lot of excessive actions while winning always depends on luck.

Or you can also reevaluate your life choices because that rest and deep breathes after major losses isn't a long-term solution, you would still be gambling like that and you would experience the losses that you've got again and again. The best thing is doing self-reflection and learn from the fact that gambling is slowly chipping away at your life and your financial wealth and that it impedes your chances of becoming a better person, that's probably the best thing that you should do whenever you're on losing streak in your gambling sessions, that way, you're slowly turning your life around because those self-reflections although not effective all at once but will give you those small realizations in life that there's more that you can be doing than just gambling and losing your money to it.
