Topic: Quit gambling today and lesson i learnt (lost 2000 usd today) - page 3. (Read 1013 times)

If we were able to change our mindset then surely gambling will be good. As said we always consider gambling as a way to earn. This is really wrong, and we don't have the mindset to accept in that way. House always wins, though we're lucky. We earn and finally the greed will push us and end up losing big. As suggested it is good to analyse ourselves and take the right decision, if not the financial problems will ruin entire life.

If you do come up with that kind of emotion which is really something impulsive specially in talking about having that revenge type or way of betting then you would really make things even more worst.
Just like others said that trying out to chase your losses or trying out to break even would really make situation to be more devastating which is something that you should really need to avoid
or something that you shouldnt let it happen.If you do lost big time then just simply quit and never look back again unless if you do really allocate some funds to gamble and
dont mind if those money would be lost forever.Its up to someones mindset whether they are really accepting that fate or not.

Sometimes you need to revenge into what you have lost, because if you have not experience  or a mistake You will not correct yourself or amend your ways in terms of gambling, so it is because of your seriousness will make you to achieve what you have not achieved so I stand for you to lose and the Continuum to add more effort to ensure that you have all recover what we have lost so far so with that alone I think you will make well, some advice is a discourage advice

We all have different doom day so you just have to be strong and relax your mind and never attempt to revenge your money back because what you have lost is gone and you need to decides how you are going to work for another one.
The gambling world is very competitive and whatever you have lost is Ben taken by another gambler that won .

Yes. We will see ourselves losing in the end if we always gamble for profits. As gambling is made to entertain us, but we don’t see it that way. Instead, we gamble for more money and hoping it could make us consistently profitable and end up with a bigger bankroll. But we all know that the house keep us watching, and they make sure that house will always win. So let’s just be realistic, if you are not a productive gambler anymore, then quit. That’s the best way to get rid of your future losses.

I think the best to do is try to live 1 week without gambling and this will make sure that all the heat,rage and greed/desire to earn more will most probably fade away a little bit,if you manage to be gamble free for one week you can try for two weeks,of course is much difficult to do so in reality than typing it here.

Personally I only gamble 20-30 dollars up to 200 dollars as a maximum weekly which is an amount I can afford to lose and if I hit big I am happy,if I lose the money,I don't really care as I consider it as if I got to dinner out or to the movies or to the stadium so I consider it entertainment money anyway.

I don't know what sort of money you have available outside of gambling, but I couldn't fathom putting down a $200 bet on a game you know is tilted in the long run towards the house, I dread to think how many thousands you've paid right into the pockets of the casinos with nothing to show for it but some lousy "wins" story on a message board. You should just accept that all the money you've put into gambling to this point is wasted and gone forever - don't ever try to think you'll win it back via gambling because it just throws more money away. You should 100% stay away from any gambling site and maybe even get off the internet for a while to break the habit and routine.

I believe the hardest problem a gambler need to face is to admit to himself that he is already falling into gambling addiction. Even if we say the damages are still in controlled, but we are just seeing it at the present time, we don’t know yet if in the future we can still manage our losses and damages. So quit now and thank yourself later. Gambling is making us poor unconsciously, and we will only realize that if we are already in a position of having debts that made us too hard to get out from it.

well that's it. one way to trigger luck we have to dare to take these risks. no other way.
although when the gambler has to lose $2000 worth of money as described in the OP, I'm also sure he will also find greater luck, but I don't know when that will happen.
for sure don't be afraid to take big risks if you really want to get bigger profits. But you also have to remember that using money you can afford to lose


Yes, it is true. because when someone gambles with the aim of making money or it can be said as a source of income, they will certainly be tense and emotionally vulnerable when gambling. the gambler will feel uncomfortable and more vulnerable to losing, because he has already thought about the advantages and disadvantages that cause the gambler's mind to lose focus, and one more thing, fear of losing money.
different from gamblers who have the goal of having fun they will be more comfortable and calm when gambling. because he really considers gambling a game and the gambler is not afraid of losing his money. so luck is closer to gamblers like that.


I have also proven it myself, before with a capital of $ 15 gambling, I won with a profit of $ 800 at roulette. at that time I felt this was just a game for fun.
but after that I had a desire to get more and I considered it a source of income and it turned out that when I was gambling I was always thinking about the fear of losing money.

but after lessons like that it made me understand more that gambling is only for entertainment, not for making money

yes that's why OP hasn't been active since 15th november last active in this forum and this thread keeps getting picked up, I think leaving this thread is a good choice because it's not worth discussing anymore

it's just a difference in mindset, the Chinese play gambling to test their luck (even though they are not rich because it is their culture) but those from other countries and cultures also play gambling to make money.
and the people who mostly win big are those who play gambling for fun. I have tried it myself and when I play gambling with the aim of money and win then I keep losing, it's different when I play gambling for the purpose of pleasure.


OP won't stop gambling, it's ingrained in him, I think OP is playing drama -- just look at yahoo already labeling it but OP doesn't change his habits.

look at that guys OP has never felt like a loss by losing that $2000, the thread has clickbait so people want to see his real winnings, OP didn't really quit gambling, he is an active gambler and addict

Winning is always a big motivation for gamblers that is why we chase our losses in the hope that we can win, regain, and keeps playing, gamblers will never quit gambling when they win, they can make a break but they always remember their last win and this keeps them motivated to play more, the dangerous thing about gambling is when you won a big amount because you already have a target on your next betting session.

You earn 2k a week from a job? You must be living a lavish life. I don't know anyone who earns 1k a week and I know people who have their own businesses and work in IT.
If this is true, congratulations! You're in that 1% of people.


I wouldn't bet so much on 1 hand especially in blackjack when I many times faced a situation where I had 20 and thought there's no way a dealer would get 21 but they did.
Be cautious with your bets or don't bet at all, but you made your decision so maybe it's all for the best.
Congratulations again.

$2000 dollar lost regardless of the previous session is a huge loss. This may be little to those who have lots of money but for an average gambler, this is equivalent to 3 or 4 months of salary.  I do hope that @OP had learned his lesson on these losses and started controlling his cash flows when it comes to gambling.  I know @OP will not be stopping anytime soon because it would be hard to stop when his total winnings are on the green.


Well, you cannot test your luck when you don't take the risk but I am sure luck is residing in everyone, of course, it needs a chance to trigger this luck within us.

stop gambling when you get a big loss and will start gambling again out of curiosity and chasing losses.
all of this is caused by gamblers who are frustrated and cannot control their emotions and even though in gambling the most important thing is controlling emotions.


I once heard the saying "luck only belongs to those who are willing to take risks"
and maybe some gamblers continue to try their luck on the grounds that they will be lucky after this, without realizing that they are constantly losing

If you had loss the hard earned money of 2000$, surely it’s big loss for you. But it depends on few things like how long you had played that gambling. Because if you had loss 2000$ by the short period, then it leads to the big loss for you. In case you are playing gambling over a period of 4-5 years, then the amount you had used was the huge as compared to this loss. Even it maybe the ten or twenty times of the current loss of 2000$. Even I had loss over 2300$ in the binance future trading and it’s unexpected one.

It's a natural reaction to insist on quitting after having big losses but mostly, people who have frustrations because of their losses still bet and try their luck again. Op's disappointment I think will only be temporary. There will still come a time when he will still try his luck. Admit it or not, we tend to quit when we fail but we still keep trying after a while.
But yes, we should learn how to manage everything including our bankroll as well as our emotions. We must know when to stop and when to continue. If gambling is already negatively affecting your life, then it will be a good decision to leave it.

OP is frustrated because he lost, and that's natural, people need to think for themselves and be aware of the danger of gambling, for example if a person decides to start gambling, that person should already know that he has to be prepared to lose a lot, you won't just win, that's not how gambling works. so it won't make sense for this person to enter gambling today, lose and then say: I'm going to give up. so why was he playing? It is necessary to have a game plan, good bankroll management. there is no such thing as an easy thing, I hope OP thinks that way too. now when the person starts losing constantly, does not win and is spending a lot of money then it is about time for that person to stop and give up gambling. when something doesn't work out, we have to give up.

I agree with you and what you say, clearly when a person knows he is on a roll it is almost impossible for him to stop playing, because his brain will tell him to keep playing because he thinks he will win big, but I have learned something from this, if you have earned enough and not "much" I think you should stop, because it is better to have money in hand than to lose it little by little, you can see how that luck you had at that time should be taken advantage of, it is the only The way I see it, however, when we play and lose everything, our feeling is going to be very ugly and that is something that I do not wish on anyone, I have experienced both experiences and I am left with the experience of stopping playing and taking the money than to lose everything.
