Topic: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? - page 22. (Read 4143 times)

It can be frustrating when losing in gambling, there are times that we can win or lose, so we should understand and accept that losing is part of gambling. When we lose in gambling, we should never chase losses because if you continue, this will only just leads to even greater losses and emotional distress. What you we should do is take a break and assess our habits and financial situation. Taking a break will help us to recover emotionally and financially.

Whenever I lose a huge amount of money from gambling I would take a break for a while (couple of weeks or months).
I don't try to risk more just to win back some or recover, it would only make it worst.
Whenever I deposit money to gamble, I already accept the fact that I could lose it all.
Gamblers also need to accept the risk or losing, it wouldn't always be profitable for gamblers, we couldn't win all rounds in it.

I do not get why people even question this. I mean if you lose, then there are two possibilities when you lose. First of all, if you lost and all the money is gone then you have nothing to do, the money is gone, what can you do, there is really nothing that you can do. However, if you lose and there is some money left then you can't really do anything major, it's just not the way it will go.

This means that we are going to end up with not gambling further, it's common sense, you have some money left, just take it and leave. These are not really ultimate questions in gambling world, it is really that simple and it should not be all that confusing, we should be able to make that work one way or another. I feel like it's that important.

Win loss is an integral part of gambling and without this win loss you cannot imagine gambling. This is the natural process and if you participate in gambling then two possibilities arise one is win and other is loss. There is no shortage of happiness and excitement when we win but when we lose it is a painful moment for gamblers but we have to admit that gambling is without risk. Nothing is possible. But if you lose in gambling, remember one thing, if you do not have the ability to control yourself, you should never participate in gambling. Because if you participate in gambling, there will definitely be a chance of losing and if you don't have the ability to control your emotions at that moment, then a gambler never deserves to participate in gambling.

since many years ago, in the days when I played video games on the computer and on consoles, I had already learned a very important lesson which was that when I was losing a lot and knew that I was losing my mind due to getting angry, then I immediately stopped playing to break the nervous mood I was having and then I chose to do other things that weren't related to games, like watching anime and watching movies or watching something that made me laugh a lot and also it took a lot of time because my goal with this was to be able to stop thinking about that sequence of defeats and not blame myself for that defeat

because when we start to blame ourselves for defeats and we don't stop thinking about it, we enter a phase where we start to condemn ourselves and this leads us to depression and when it reaches the level of depression to be cured it takes a long time and the next level after depression that is not cured, suicide comes, and our life is very valuable for the person, they easily give up on it, that's why when any person is losing a lot and is on a losing streak, only then that person needs to stop playing for some time, look for other ways to have fun and then you can go back to playing with moderation and awareness that you may have to face another series of defeats and that if that happens the person will not be sad or blame themselves as in the past, the person will need to show that they came back with brains better

In that moment of winning and then you loss the next one and immediately your face change, when you tried again and you had another loss, you kind of readjust and sit well and think maybe there is something you are not doing alright. If you wager again and try and win nothing, all your body system will change immediately and start to feel very uncomfortable. This is how gambling is and I wise one will stop playing for that particular after because you know you are about to lose all to casino.


If you can admit that you are addicted and you see no bid deal, then I think you are really addicted if you sit down one day and calculate the amount of money you have wasted in a year trying to gamble, then you will understand why the casino repeatedly send you emails because they stop earning from you. Learn to control the addiction and play less, it will be healthier I think.

People that Chase loses are those that doesn't understand gambling, in gambling the more you chase losses the more you loss,  if we have lost a lot of money in gambling the best thing to do at this point as a gambler is to rest for a while because if you continue with that force you will be reached and left with with nothing, so at all time a gambler should not always think about winning he or she should see this like winning can come and loss too is possible so that whenever he loses he wouldn't see it as new event.
The rate of loss in gambling surpass the number of win, remember that no matter how you think that you know this teams anything is possible because it is just a prediction.

One of the reasons why people are advised to gamble mostly for fun is so that they don't spend much more trying to win big from gambling. If you have lost a lot of money from gambling, this should be when you calculate everything that you have spent on gambling, and that amount you call a lot should not be something you used one time to gamble. 
 
The best thing for someone who has lost to gambling like that is that if you can't hold it anymore, you should just avoid gambling and look for other recreational activities that won't require you to spend money.
 
Or, better yet, you can just reduce the amount you wager by continuing your gambling activities, but keep in mind that you are never going to regain all that you have lost, as that might not be possible. Instead, you might end up losing more to the casino.

It depends really on what you want from life. While the line is blurry for some, you can choose to "gamble" in other ways in life, without throwing everything into all or nothing type betting. If you put your money into the stock market, either through index funds that carry medium risk and return, or into individual companies, you are in a way hoping that your research has been correct enough to earn you a profit. The same with cryptocurrency, many choose to add money to this and that is a form of risk that is similar to gambling. You just have to adjust your mindset, at least with these other forms of gambling you might actually be able to sell out to return some of your capital if your idea turns out to be bad.

The fun will increase if it is accompanied by a win especially where there are very lucky days with a winning streak, isn't this often experienced by gamblers? Sometimes like to smile at yourself with the victory. LOL
That's when chasing losses will lose more money especially without strict control.

I don't know that logic is difficult to solve in my head. haha I already know that I lose more but I still often play gambling but this has become a habit maybe but not a heavy addiction fortunately, I can still control the finances that are put into the casino so I think it's still safe.

Of course, if we win, we will get double the fun, the fun of gambling and fun winning money. But unfortunately we often experience losses when gambling and when we start chasing losses, that's where bigger losses will soon come.


Lol... But I agree with you. Most gamblers know the risks and know that there are more chances of losing than winning, but they are stubborn and unwilling to stop following their passions which can leave them in bad financial shape.

They won't have that kind of consideration if earning money is not possible in gambling. We spend money in gambling, so we also have the rights to earn and isn't it better that aside from having fun, we can also earn money at the same time? That should double the fun that we are currently experiencing.

Don't worry OP because we already know the reality you are talking about gambling but we are only hard-headed to not learn from our lessons if we are that addicted. In my opinion, it is better stop and work normally once we lose a lot of money in gambling but even if not, we must still learn how to stop so that we won't be addicted on it.

If you do have that kind of control then you would really be just that fine but if not then most likely you would really be ending up on having those huge problem specially when it comes to finances because once you do lose then you do become that desperate and on the time that you would really be doing this then you are just basically putting up yourself on such risks and this is why it would really be always important that you should really be having that kind of moderation so that on the time that you do lose then you wont really be finding yourself to be that impulsive on which it would really be causing up that soo much trouble if this one
isnt something that you could really be able to control with. This is why it would be important that you should really know on what you are doing so that you wont really be having some issues afterwards.

Gambling is a game of luck so it would depend as long as you have a limit on your gambling you're probably going to be fine with it, if you have a limit of around 100$ if you already lose 50$ of it on gambling you could probably keep on going and so that you could probably win it back again or earn a profit in the end. But if you have already lose all of your limit on gambling like 100$ already and that's the only money that you set on gambling because it is the only amount that you could afford to lose, you should stop your gambling already and just accept the fact the your no luck at this time, and you lose some money, Because that is just gambling is all about right not everytime you're going to win on it, there are for sure something that you are going to lose money on it, your just not lucky that time and meaning you could try again some other time if you have the money again, if you still continue probably you might still be able to recover but that is surely going to be a huge risk already considering you already lose around 100$ and not having the discipline and not gambling moderately just means that you could make your loss of 100$ to make it even a 1000$, that is just mostly the trap of casino encouraging you to bet more because you just need to get your money back, but the truth is you risk your money and you should be able to afford to lose that money in case you lose.

The moment a gambler begins to see more losses his first action is to stop for a moment. Think about how much he's lost, if the amount of money in his bank roll is sufficient enough to take him on a next session, he can try wagering bit by bit. But, if deep down, he understands that lots of money has been lost, ending the game for the day is better. Going further to gamble, depending on the house to hand out funds to us, isn't a right technique. Such things have led lots of gamblers to huge debt. While gambling we need to watch out for the money spent in the process. Winning is available in gambling, but we tend to see more losses. Hence, staying careful, not to harness more losses, helps in maintaining the bankroll. However, most gamblers don't accept this type of reaction, chasing loss, because it happens involuntarily. Self-examination builds the gambler's consciousness on his expenses and tries to manage properly his funds, while gambling. 

That's normal things if we think like that because we don't have much experiences in gambling while we already see many people can win on gambling. Our minds will thinks that we can also win like them and that makes us to playing gambling long than before but the fact is not like our minds. We will lose more money and if we can't control ourselves, we will only used or deposit more money just to want to win on gambling. We can gets involved too deeper in gambling when we lose our minds because of we wants to win on the gambling games. That is a dangerous for us if we don't realizes the risks that we face because we can become addicted to gambling and we will not see the reality of what happens to us.

When we lose, we must stop playing gambling and not trying to recover the losses because if we still trying doing that, we can lose more money and we will not realizes the fact. Many gamblers can't see the real fact about themselves and even when they becomes addicted to gambling, they will still using more money without having a chance to realizes especially if no people warned them.

Exactly, making gambling as a place to solve financial problems is a very careless or even stupid idea and mindset, gambling is not a place to earn because it is clear that the facts about the concepts that exist in gambling as well as how the victory works are not as easy as imagined, and anyway you will only win once in a while and all the wins that are there always come by "chance" which means you will never know whether the results at the end of the session you will win or lose, everything in gambling is always about uncertainty.

As you said and it is true that however the overall winnings are actually only for the house and one of the reasons is because gambling is a business for the casino, meaning that it is natural for a gambler to experience more losses than wins because after all it is the casino that organizes and controls all the players who are playing. Of course, chasing victory to restore something that has been lost is an action that will actually only make you stuck in a deeper black hole, or meaning that instead of achieving recovery but what happens is that the amount you lose is even more accumulated, that's for sure because overall the percentage of losses is always greater than wins, meaning that when you try to overdo it because you want to restore something that has been lost then obviously more sessions will end in defeat.

Unfortunately most gamblers misunderstand what exactly is meant by winning opportunities, they don't think and see rationally from the start so they misunderstand and think that gambling is a great place to solve financial problems such as paying debts or to make ends meet which basically of course it will only make the situation worse, and addiction is a phase that they will definitely experience which leads to the impact of life destruction in various aspects.

Never gamble with your last cards because the repercussions are not friendly. There's no amount of losses that either persuade a gambler to stop because they've already made up their mind to gamble and they will do it with everything they have. Ourselves will never become very promising except we worked on earning good points in the system. Losing is fact about the system, gamblers will continue to lose because they're not the ones incharge of gambling, they're just in existence to ensure the activities go smoothly and profitably on their end.

It has a really bad implications of relying on gambling to address financial difficulties. Gambling may offer the possibility of either winning or losing, but the odds are typically stacked against the player. Even if you win occasionally, the overall outcome tends to favor the house, meaning that over time, you're likely to lose more than you win. gambling is not for people who have problems, it's an entertainment for people to spare their time.

Continuing to gamble in hopes of recouping losses can lead to a cycle of compulsive behavior and financial instability. Addiction to gambling can have serious consequences, both financially and personally, and it's not something to be taken lightly. Rather than viewing gambling as the option when faced with financial setbacks, it needs to explore more sustainable and responsible strategies for managing debt. The key lies in recognizing the risks associated with gambling and making informed decisions about how to address financial problems.

When we lose in gambling, we shouldn't think that it's the end of the world, losing is a part of gambling, every individual has lost at some point when gambling but they didn't stop gambling therefore just as we're losing now doesn't mean we should stop gambling. We could stop now but that could have been our breakthrough to winning big amounts of money. Gambling is based in luck and when we think we're not lucky, that's when our luck will come to us.

When you lose in gambling, you don't have to quit but you can take a break and reexamine your choices to determine what you did wrong and try to improve on yourself so that you can win when next you try to gamble again. It isn't everytime that someone gambles that they win. Some days they'll be losing but as they didn't give up, they can have luck when nobody expected them to be lucky and win big amount.
