Topic: Sympathetic gamblers looses itself - page 9. (Read 1261 times)

I have seen such before, a guy who was given some money to deposit in the bank account of his master decide to use it for gambling hoping that he will make money for himself and be able to complete the deposit in the bank account of his master, he lost it all and sat in the front floor of the casino, crying so hard that people start asking what when wrong, that's how I knew about everything, I end up not showing any pity for him because it's clear that he doesn't deserve any sympathy.

I am still surprise how people can be so expecting of gambling, like it's the perfect solution for their lack of money, how will gambling solve your problem honestly? You have not learn a skill in real life, you failed to learn anything that will help you, even if you can't get some degrees you should learn a skill and start making money first, this is the right way.

Gambling is not a solution even if you are consumed by heavy poverty, you will f yourself up even harder and you may probably lose your sense of integrity and principles, gambling is not a solution to financial problem, take it with a mind of spending time to do fun things.

They are not computing how much they or others losses but how much they wanted to earn and this is the stupidest idea when you are in gambling because there is no assurance of us to win so better to expect losses and try to enjoy the game.
this is the hardest part but when you made it there? the capacity to leave the table will always yours and will never have comparison to other gamblers.
while it is their first intention , yet eventually while enjoying ? they turn to be addicted and yeah continues the gaming till they lose everything.

Don't take their losses too seriously, let alone be too empathetic to those who experience losses at gambling, they come to gambling not unconsciously because it is their awareness that they want to gamble, for those who chase victory, they will definitely experience defeat, but it's different when they play. gambling is just for entertainment, I don't think there is any need to empathize because they will just see it as entertainment.

It depends on our point of view, if we look at how when people experience defeat in gambling, many people experience this in gambling in this world. If we empathize with them, what should we do so that they don't gamble with their money? If we really feel empathy for them, that's why it's important to People who know why gambling have to use unused money so they don't think too much about the losses they experience, at least think of it as paying for entertainment when gambling. 

Those gamblers lost money because they were into gambling only because of earning money and they weren't doing gambling as a part time entertainment activity. They have lost everything because of their own greed as greed for earning a lot of money in short time often leads to huge losses instead of gains.

I have seen gamblers losing more than $50k per day by putting a lot of money into gambling in hopes that they can multiply their money and enjoy have a lot of multipliers each day. Those type of gamblers are often termed as newbie gamblers or kids who just want to get rich in short time. They don't get rich at all but end up losing everything they own.

Even at the virtue of millions skill switch when loses above a budget, it is definitely meant that without being in control of your gambling budgets, it is no even going to be a $1,000,000 that would be satisfy your level os stakes unless you are on the winning side.
This is all about betting responsibly and taking charge of your emotions especially at your list times else $1 is enough to count a huge lost supposing you walk away so as one time lost is also enough lost period of time you walk away and not loosing on a multiple folds simply because you have all chances to bet more.

I would say that most gamblers who lose a lot of money are not very good at mathematics. Not just to the point of not understanding concepts like House Edge, but at a more basic level, like not even knowing what their net worth is, as the OP comments. If we think about where the lottery sells more or where there are more betting houses, we see that it coincides not only with people who have less knowledge in general, but who are more needy, unfortunately, and resort to gambling as a quick way of escape (almost always unsuccessful).

When the truth remains to be bittered and could be acknowledged, then it is a healing point and a wall to lean on at your depressed and oppression points.
In the gambling field, everyone can never be happy and everyone can't be sad at the same time.
Only gambling steamers lives by spreading sugarcoated speculations all aimed to attract the betting casino with gamblers on board. Every gamblers are to be ready that have thought in my that the bet is lost already even before a stake.
This is  so to set yourself with a consolidated awareness Incase one is lost.
@ arwin100, I hope it doesn't sound horrible to you because gambling is purely survival of the fittest.

we often see or read that Gambling is for fun and not to make money , but are you a gambler?
if yes then have you not expect to win when you gamble , or you are just nothing but commenting that does not
really understand what gambling is all about. because for how many years that people keeps calling gambling for
entertainment but does not really gamble in regular basis meaning they dont know what is gambling and for what really is.
I wish some day you will meet a person that makes a living using gambling aside from those
casino employees that literally paid in gambling instead those gambling experts that only gamble and making money.

Anyone who has to accept the fact that they have experienced major defeat that is more than they can accept will definitely look so disappointed that they will even be anxious and have an expression full of regret, but that is the consequence of their actions.
Regretting excessively and drowning in disappointment because of losing will not change anything and cannot return what has been lost, so the best thing is to give them advice and direct them to better path.
People like that, if left alone, can do stupid things like try to recover from losses.

But what is called victory of condolence?
And it actually good if they experience defeat because they can learn from the defeat.
Never consider defeat as truly detrimental failure because without experiencing something like that, I sure they will continue to do careless things, they will gamble without knowing time and financial limits.

Taking into account wealth and active income will be useful for gamblers who have no financial restrictions, when they know everything they will be able to think and try to set budget that is not close to the amount of their income.
Several times I have said that the impact of gambling is good or bad and losses and profits depend on us in managing and having an approach when gambling so whatever it is we have to be ready to accept it and we are the ones who decide.

In my opinion, do not see or remember the losses that have occurred with gambling,  because before gambling they should know that gambling is great, of course what is obtained is defeat not victory. And if they are like that,  it's better not to gamble if only to remember the losses that have occurred, because gambling is only for entertainment not to make money primarily.

Yes you are right, they are trapped by their own minds that make them addicted to gambling because of the wrong mindset by making gambling a place to make money. Of course this is not true, but the wrong mindset that to make money they should work not gamble, it is not recommended that gambling be used as a place to make money if it is to spend money that is true hahha.

Sweet lemoning is part of a human nature that enables him to comfort himself by comparing his losses to the greater losses of others.  It is true that misery loves company as one of the earlier replies stated, the attitude of comforting oneself by thinking of others more devastating losses is a defense mechanism in order for the gambler or a person not to regret his losses.


I think gamblers often lose their gambling budgets not because they see others losing more but rather because they fail to control themselves when engaging in gambling activities.

Whats been mentioned last could make gamblers in loss to have a positive move. When one had lost in gambling, automatically they feel low. Particularly when they had gambled beyond their limits or gambled with the money that had been kept aside for something very important. In such situation someone to hear them is a consolation. When it comes to gambling we don't loss by intention, it is human nature wanting big. They never think of the consequences, later used to feel bad for their activities.

Sometimes you see as far as you think the horizon is, but that vision is a part of what you understand.

Losses when you are a professional or even an advanced recreational player, that is, sone who understands the concepts of betting, are, as an accounting graduate would say, they go to the loss column, nothing more.

There are players who lose $50 thousand for example at a certain moment but it does not affect them because they understand that it is a monetary range that must exist, it does not hurt them any less to lose $100, they are, as they would say, "work chips", professional players suffer more from a defeat in itself than the loss of money, at least that is what happens in poker.


In fact, the phrase "I lost doing the right thing..." is common, it is not about feelings, sympathy, the gambling game is something cold, arrogant, the support of someone in your "pain" does not make it easier for you. ", you just keep going, losing is a significant event that has to have an action on your part as a response, and the simplest is to keep playing, it doesn't matter if you lose $100 or $1000, if you are doing things right, losing $1 will It has to affect the same as losing $1000 and in that emotional dimension, it will not matter to you whether someone offers you sympathy or not for it.

I agreed with what you said
the truth is that gamblers are not taking gambling as it was said let say for instance people plays casino to ease stress or even watch matches for fun right? Yes at the cost of doing that one may decides to spare some funds to pass time with while playing game or watching games as well at the point of doing this when the said game plays by luck then one benefits from the process but, what i understood most times from gamer or gamblers is that they often tends to put their life in gambling where by they build a higher hope probability of winning something that could change their life by betting with huge amounts. Whenever the games didn't go as planned they all starts panicking for their lost.

If you stake an amount that you can afford to comfortably lose, you won't have any problem as long as gambling is concerned,  where the problems lies is when a gambler tries to stake high amount with the intention of winning a big reward and also placing his financial desires on the bets.

This way greed becomes the major factor that drives the gambler's decisions and also a lot of other factors that can negatively impact the outcome of the games,  such as chasing a particular directions e.g chasing loses,  by trying to recover from lost.

Or making more bets just to chase winnings this time you get to overstress your luck by trying to win more and more.

Yea, this happens a lot  but how we interpret these situations matter a lot. Many gamblers will see it as a good reason to stop mourning over their losses since other gamblers are in more severe pain than they are, but this is wrong.  Other people's losses should not in anyway motivate us to gamble carelessly,  rather,  it should be telling us that one day, we might end up like that guy over there if we do not gamble responsibly .

Every gambler should take full responsibility of his own errors in gambling. Consoling oneself with the predicament of the next gambler will not solve any problem,  rather it will trick one into playing more until it's too late. Gambling is fun if played well.

I don't deny it, I always seek to win, it's something that goes in me, if it were me I would win all the time if I had a lot of money, because that's how I would try and try, that is if I were a millionaire, because millionaires don't mind losing a lot of money, they have everything insured, that's why when we are in a casino those of us who are not millionaires have to take good care of our money and play in a very measured way because we cannot invent if we have little money, that is something logical, I am not capable of spending all my money in a casino, because I have expenses, and those expenses do not tell me that later, but at once, I must pay them no matter what.

In uinc there is no control of our money by anyone, only by us and even if I have the hunch of winning and I already have my money there, I can't spend more than I should, because if I spend it all, I don't want to go looking for people to lend me money, just because I got carried away by my excitement.

If we take gambling outside what it should be, then we may run into problems, gambilng should be for fun and not a money-making venture, and any gambler who has such a mentality on gambling will only lose too quickly in the long run since you have to understand that, the more you play, the higher your chances of losing more.

So continuing in whatever direction may lead to losses and much more than that it consumes alot of money and time which will ultimately affect the gambler's mindset in the long run which could result in a possible case of gambling addiction.

This is an example of ''Misery loves company".

A gambler who looses and compares his losses to the losses of another gambler is only trying to find consolation by fooling themselves. If there is a chance that he is better than the other gambler who has lost more, it is only when they are both in the same financial level, and earn around same amount. For another gambler who earns more, and has lost more than you who earns less and have lost less, you are not the same.

Are you referring to streamers that losing big time on gambling because they are just doing their job in exchange for their pay. They only lose their money for gambling but they earn constantly through referrals and casino partnerships. Most of the streamer reactions are fake and they are just doing a good job by portraying emotional distress when lose.

I rarely read or watch any topic related to gambling because we personally don’t care if other lose since gambling games is designed for the house to win which means most of the gamblers is destined to lose or else casino will be a non profitable business.
