Topic: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? - page 17. (Read 4225 times)

This has always been an endless cycle for many gamblers, after a huge loss, rather than walking away to recuperate from their losses and then come back another day to try again, they'd wanna recoup their losses by increasing their stakes as well as their risks, this has led most gamblers to their ruin and doom.

Walking away after a loss and not having the urge to chase those losses has always been the problem of most gamblers and if a gambler eventually beats that urge, then it'll be very hard for such gambler to fall into a financial ruin because of gambling, because it'll enable him take charge of his emotions and finance when gambling.

Can you give an example of how to overcome this? Many of the people I met here said that they should manage their finances and use a small portion of their income to gamble, and process their emotions so they don't gamble again with more bets. because again, as you said, as humans it is very normal that if we experience defeat continuously it will make us unable to think clearly and then get trapped and make the wrong decisions.

If you ever decide to keep gambling to win back your losses, you may end up living under a bridge. The way to handle losses in gambling is that once you lose, for example $10, simply let it go and gamble some other time. Because you may be tempted to retrieve it back but then, you may lose more and then you’ll regret and you’ll start wanting only part of the money but you’ll likely only keep losing. Even if you succeed at getting it, you may still be tempted to win everything back and you may be stuck in a cycle which you’ll end up losing.

That's not particularly true, anyone can gamble with big money, it depends on the person, his affinity for risk-taking and his worth. One should never gamble anyhow regardless of their position on the three factors named above, our account safety should be our highest priority here and we should ensure that above all things, we should be responsible in our gambling. You might be worth so big but that doesn't mean that you should be risking so big. You might have lost your money in the past as well, but that doesn't make you gamble more or increase the amount you wager. These will all lead to more losses as the psychology of such traders engaging in this act will never be balanced as it would be desperation or frustration that is causing it or other aspects of emotions that will never be positive for the gambler.

Also, at losses or gains, we should learn how to control ourselves, it will be disastrous for us to be too excited when we are winning or get greedy, that's an issue because it could cause the gambler to want to gamble more and by this increase the size of the amount wagered. The same thing goes for the losing times, it is so tempting and revenging, nevertheless, if we are wise, we will maintain our aim and rather take a break instead of gambling more at that time.

Gamble for fun and not for money as it should always be but we know that even how you would really be fixated yourself about having that kind of mindset but on the time that you do experience those consecutive loses then you would really be still having that kind of feeling that you would be doing that coping up with those loses and since we are just humans then it would be a normal approach or reaction to have.

This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that wary about on the probabilities of losing up money with gambling on which you shouldnt really be that making yourself that too optimistic towards it because if you do then this would really be bringing out that kind of desperation on which this is something that will really be that trying out to avoid as much as possible.
We are just humans and cant really be avoided for sometimes that you would be having that kind of desperation when trying out to cope up with those loses that you had made since you do know
that when it comes to gambling then chances or odds is really there. This is something that we must avoid at all cost.

Another fact about loosing a bet is that we cannot claim back our money from the casino or gambling platform we are using, they are gone and that's all, so why are we not going to make use of our initiative in gambling to within what we could afford, gambling is all about having fun, we should count every other experience in it as part of the fun we already have with gambling, we cannot expect to always be accurate in everything we do.

This is the importance of having responsibility as a gambler, all gamblers have the chance of winning and also have the possibility of losing and after all that is what gambling is always about two things namely the chance of winning or the possibility of losing which one of the two things will always be the answer at the end of the gambling session that you have done, meaning that gambling is not only about the chance of winning but the possibility of losing can never be separated, after all this is the system that exists in gambling which is always about winning and losing.

So maybe I would say that you are a loser if you only want to win but are not ready to accept the risk of losing, after all chasing losses will always be a bad idea which actually in the end will only harm yourself because there is absolutely no guarantee of any success when you chase losses in gambling and in some cases the opposite happens, instead of successfully reaching the recovery phase but what happens is that the amount you lose is even greater. Another thing is that I agree with you that try to always gamble with a budget that is not used for other needs in your life, prioritize the needs of your life that are more important than just gambling, and if for example you have some money that is not used then yes it doesn't matter if you want to allocate it to gambling.

That's right, never force yourself to return the money you have lost from gambling by doubling your bet.
When you lose, it's better to be aware and admit that you have lost, then fix everything by working.

There are still many gamblers who use their basic money to gamble. that's a very bad thing. A gambler should have their own money to play with and even a small portion of their income, so that when they lose they will not make decisions that tend to make them worse off.

First of all, we need to know that gambling is dependent on luck. This means that results in gambling will be random mixtures of wins and losses. You will not lose all the games and you will not win all the games. Now if someone is losing a lot of money in gambling, this means that there is some misuse of money by him. He must not be following the risk management techniques.


Well, it is obvious that gambling owners and the bookies will earn more as compared to the gambler himself. The reason is that there are so may unmature and ignornant gamblers who will gamble blindly and will not follow any money management plan. The casino owners take full advantage of this.

Believe me, if all the gamblers follow the money management principles, then gambling sites may not enjoy such big profits as they are getting them now.

Go home whenever you're loosing in gambling after several attempts to make win, you don't have to force it coming when the luck is not there for the day, if we did not make it that same day doesn't mean that we cannot have more opportunities on other coming days ahead, we should know that gambling is not only a win for win game, we have to win and lose combination to add up to the fun to always have to discuss about it.

You are right most gamblers usually forget that there is More to lose than to gain from gambling, and gambling all about win or lose. Most people focus mainly on the winning side making them to gamble recklessly with the hope of making a huge win by hitting a nice jackpot.  One should always control his gambling huge , to avoid chasing after losses. Because one may endup making more losses.

If a gambler has the theory that there is more to lose than to gain from gambling, he will not be more concerned about winning. Winning and losing is part of gambling, but many gamblers know it but forget. Where a gambler stops is up to the gambler. Must be able to control oneself. Moreover, fund management is an important issue. If the gambler keeps a good attitude on his financial aspect and conducts gambling within a certain limit then he can conduct gambling under control in any circumstances. If a person loses in gambling then he should either take a break from gambling or else he should be careful about how he can recover his losses from gambling.If there is not much expectation from gambling then there is nothing to worry about loss.

That's right and there is no other decision that is wiser than stopping at the right time, especially when we experience several losses in a row. I understand that anyone doesn't like losing money, but what we have to understand here is that after all, luck can never happen. being chased because luck will only come by itself by chance and unexpectedly and maybe you have experienced that when you didn't really expect to win but the result ended up being winning.

Therefore, this is the reason why a gambler is always prohibited from using gambling as a place to make money or chase losses in gambling, because the problem is that luck will not always come according to what we want, on the other hand, it is a fact, as you said, that actually gambling is a business that will only benefit the casino itself, they take advantage of gamblers who misunderstand gambling who usually always gamble excessively and obviously the number of losses will definitely be greater than the winnings, therefore when you treat gambling excessively as with the aim of pursuing bigger wins, this is actually an idea that will only make the casino more profitable because the amount you lose will definitely be bigger.

I noticed something like that in the gambling center, the number of losing are more higher than the numbers of winning in gambling center because before you will win from your gambling, it will take a long time and maybe the person has lost many times before he finally win to recover from his lost.

Since many gamblers has learned their lesson from other gamblers, that lost huge amount of money from gambling because they made gambling as investment where they can earn to solve their family issues that made them to be addicted to gambling.

When you take gambling as fun, you will like to be a gambler which is the best way for people to embrace gambling for them to live in gambling for long without fear be addicted to gambling.

Of course, when gambling is done, what you have to do is stop and leave the casino to rest, calm your mind, that's a must, especially when we lose in gambling, because in my opinion, no one is happy when they lose, let alone lose money, if they continue, maybe that's the case. There will only be emotions overflowing and that can trigger us to take careless actions that tend not to be considered first so that it can make us lose more money. the solution is to stop and rest, it is not recommended to continue gambling when you have lost.

If you still want to gamble, it's best to come back another time or another day, because maybe with the gambling you do later there will be luck that can give us a win. Don't force yourself to continue gambling because you want to win. Moreover, even though we try as hard as we can by gambling continuously, it doesn't ensure that we can win. I think people who can stop gambling when their gambling ends in defeat are intelligent people.

Stopping is probably the only good option we have when we lose in gambling because it is not wise to keep gambling even when you are losing because your luck won't magically change and you start winning all of a sudden and recover what has been lost, that isn't how gambling works in the first place because gambling is a business for its creators and it isn't a way for us gamblers to make money, so it is always only going to be profitable for them and not us.

Those who stay profitable in gambling are extremely lucky, and such sort of luck can only be found in a few among millions of gamblers. So, there is no point in trying to achieve what is almost impossible for you to achieve. This is why, it's better for a gambler to stop gambling when they lose.

To prevent large losses in gambling can be done by having a limit with the gambling that is done. With those who gamble whose goal is to make a quick profit, of course, it is very unlikely that they can accept the defeat that occurs with the gambling they do, because the goal is to make money, and that makes them think that they really have to be able to win at gambling, even though in gambling, victory is very difficult to obtain, and there is also no effective way to win with certainty. If you really want to gamble, hopefully you can see the disadvantages that are certain to occur with gambling, don't let us only think about the uncertain side of victory.
If indeed the gambling that is done has ended in defeat, then it is best to stop and leave the casino or gambling, calm the mind with things we like, not instead by gambling again to be able to pursue victory, it is a ridiculous act.

I agree that it is better to stop temporarily when we always got losses. There should be an evaluation on our habits, maybe we make the wrong things. And we don't need to be influenced by the losses, don't try to deal with the losses by playing more often. What we need to do is to calm our mind, we need to get entertainment from another source. In this condition, I personally prefer to gather with my family or I take a loot the sight at the nearest tourist attraction. This will easily calm my mind, this makes easier to control emotion.

Sure, we don't try to much focus on earning money. This only causes the excessive gambling because we don't accept losing money and will case the losses. sadly, when we chase the losses, there will be more losses. Finally, we may lose everything if we don't stop it temporarily. So, even if we want to try luck in gambling, don't expect too much on the prize. Always remember to set the limit on the time and funds!!

I would also advise that things happen by resting, when I lose I stop playing for a while, that way I wake up, the fact that I have lost money does not affect me much , because sometimes you lose a lot of money, and that is something that saddens anyone In this case the best thing is to go out and not be so involved in the game, sometimes disconnecting from this a little is worth it, to arrive later with more strength, it is not advisable that when you lose a lot of money you Continue to insist there, that is what it makes a person addicted and can't get out as fast, so in particular you have to leave the game for a while, or go the next day without remembering what you missed the Previous day.

Using cash you can afford to lose is just the best than going all in with your hard earn funds , and doing so endup losing everything. So is better to lose a little than to lose all yah funds. But most time we don't reason that way, expecially when we are losing ,  at that same moment our emotions Will endup getting the best of us , making us to risk any amount of money inorder to get back what we have loss during our gambling sections. that's why is always advisable to gamble with what you can afford to lose and whenever one see his making alot of losses he or she should stop for a while.
