When you have games like that maybe you might be sure of your winning what I does most times is to split the bet or replay the entire bet, if you are monitoring the bet and is closed to finishing you might decide to Cash out and allowed the second to play till ending. Now if the game happens to cut at later end you have succeeded cashing out something good, and if the game plays till end then you still have profits at last, but it's mostly frustrating when one monitors a game till ending parts it happens that just a single match cut one off from the total winning resulting to lose all match.

Irrespective of the bet amount, the moment will be filled with disappointment, and its kind of normal too but if you regret losing the bet then you have made err in the basic element of gambling, never bet money that you can't afford to lose.

We can't change what happens and we can't predict what will happen which means you can't do anything at all other than sleep on it.

I understand your frustration; losing a seemingly sure bet is strange. It's like watching a movie where the hero wins everything but fails at the end?unexpected and disheartening, right? However, in gambling, uncertainty rules and predictability is a cameo. Aren't we drawn to the thrill and adrenaline rush? Win or lose, it's about the trip. Every game has a plot and every bet a twist.

Consider that the rollercoaster of emotions it causes may be more painful than the last-second loss. It tests resilience and dances with chance. Isn't uncertainty part of fun gambling? Like chess with Fate, you're sometimes ahead and sometimes behind. Accept the unpredictability; it makes the game fun. Don't we all just attempt to play the best hand in life's grand casino?

To those who considers making profits a priority in gambling, I have come to observe that it is much more frustrating when you looses your game at when the game was almost over and you were on the safer side (winning) and just a few minute or seconds before the game is over it ended up at your lost.
I come to understand that it is more worrisome when the sure winning opportunities was so huge and got lost lately closed to the end time of the game.

This correct since most of the gambler is already drain on the game while it’s too tiresome to play again just not to close in lose especially if the gambler already spend a lot of time on gambling just to get that profit.

I usually feel this kind of sense of tiredness when I suddenly encounter long lose streak when I’m about to leave the game in profit. Usually I’m all-in bet to end the game quickly regardless of the result since I’m only playing money that I can afford to lose which means no string attached if ever I lose because I already enjoy the game.

That would be a moment that would be painful and indeed stressful.
But before gambling should be aware of the amount of bets allocated and should know that 50% will lose, 50% will get profit.
If a big bet is made in one bet, that's what will happen, when the win is almost here, but towards the end of the game time the supported team loses and loses all bets.

The mistake is in the money management system, you should not use all the money to bet.
Dividing the allocation of money for gambling it would be very good if these kinds of things happened, so that everything is not exhausted in one bet.

It can also be by splitting bets on several games, but not all the whole money, which must definitely have a reserve of money to start over and try to turn things around by betting on other games.

I think this is somehow obvious given that most people view gambling as a means of earning extra income or profit. Given that most gambling ads advertise the chances of winning huge amounts of money (e.g. jackpot prizes, cars, etc.), no wonder that most people feel frustrated after losing due to this hope that they failed to achieve.

While this may be true, I do think that this happens also to people who gamble rarely. They just want to attempt and try their luck, checking if they can potentially beat the significantly low odds of winning the jackpot.

With all things considered, gambling in general is frustrating. It plays with all your emotions and it also lets you feel things that you have not felt before due to what is stake on the prize.

Lol  Grin

You are telling the words of 90% of the gamblers out there because this would have happened with almost every gambler.
The feeling of huge frustration is what you get when you are just about to quit the gamble for the day on positive side but end up losing money in the last game.
But it is what it is. We might as well not play that last game at all. Call it greed or unsatisfactory results but we should know when to quit.

To those who considers making profits a priority in gambling, ()

Just simply don't invest your emotion when you are into this. Being emotional in gambling doesn't help at all, what you need to do is to deliver using your skills that are develop by your mind, not by emotional experiences throughout your journey as that is not being objective on what you do.

In terms of strategies, and on how to develop our skills in gammbling, we might be able to come up with one solution, but once emotions are the topic, it's hard to come up with a unified solution. That's the reality!

Expectations are what make them feel frustrated, because obviously everyone who gambles of course wants a big win, and this is in their expectations, those who gamble with the aim of winning certainly have high expectations, but it is the expectations themselves that kill them and make them addicted. gambling, where defeat is clearly more dominant than winning. and with their goal of pursuing victory, they cannot accept the losses that occur as a result they become frustrated with gambling.

Many gamblers put big hopes in gambling by hoping that big wins can happen, I understand how they feel, indeed everyone who gambles most likely wants to win because that's what they're looking for, it's just that if we put big hopes in gambling it will only make us become too obsessed with gambling which makes us addicted and it is difficult to get rid of it, and this is certainly not a good thing, especially with someone who is addicted to gambling, I think they are the ones who feel frustrated more often, because the losses they always get will make them they become frustrated with gambling, but I think this is good, someone who is addicted to gambling must be frustrated with gambling because then maybe they will leave their gambling addiction.

I have experienced what you are narrating here and it is not a good feeling. There were times the last selection always cut my bets and I was thinking I was being monitored by the bookies. It can actually be frustrating.  
Exactly as that time of a moment when the game is running to an end and you have this 99.99% and just few seconds to a 100% assurance and the game gets cut off. Oh damn such is tormenting and I learnt about some persons whom had committed suicide over such circumstances.

It should really be let assured that no exciting moment of time in a game has a 100% assurance because such could lead a suicidal.

It's called gambling right?, so it sure happens to everyone once in a while, I am actually not a regular bettor, so, let me say that I have never really experienced this which you said, but then, I have friends who are hard core gamblers, sports bettors and so on, and almost on a regular basis, one of two persons do come around complaining of how he or she feels so so very bad, and when I ask why, its always about a bet that he or she was very very close to winning, but either the other team, or the VAR spoiled it for them by either canceling what could have being a winning goal for them, or crediting a goal that isn't supposed to be credited.

This is all part of gambling, it's never a smooth journey which ever way we try to look at it, so, when things like this happens, it's important we just ignore and move on, sitting, watching and crying over a spilled milk won't bring the milk back.

When you have very high expectation and do not accommodate the possibility of your expectation being cut short, you will be very disappointed and may even get depressed when the outcome of your bet does not go your way. There are no sure bets because there is a always the possibility of chance to tilt things the other way. Every gambler should expect to loose as much as they expect to win whenever they gamble. If a gambler has this expectation, they will not be frustrated when they loose.

This is actually a problem where someone is too excessive in putting expectations on his gambling activities, especially on winning, putting excessive expectations will indirectly increase your disappointment when the final result really loses, and that's why we are more advised to make gambling an entertainment activity just to fill your spare time when bored. And also because there will be a lot of situations that look tempting that will certainly make you even more tempted, and the situation mentioned by the OP about failing to get a big win also certainly has an influence on the psychology of gamblers who come with excessive expectations.

On the other hand, we must return to the initial understanding that gambling is always nothing more than just a probability activity that only provides opportunities in the sense that it is not a promising certainty. So if you do experience a situation of failing to win big then in my opinion you should not assume "I should be able to get it" because that will only make you more disappointed and curious, you must return to the understanding that this is a game of chance, and that means you are not really lucky.

It will hurt when the game is almost over, but we lose. I think we have experienced that, whether in luck-based or skill-based gambling games. But that doesn't stop us from gambling, and some people are becoming increasingly passionate about gambling to win. They will no longer remember to control themselves because those who almost won really want to win. They will try to chase their win because they almost won it in the previous round. That will only make them lose more and more and can cause them to run out of money if they don't realize it and stop gambling immediately. As gamblers, we must remember that the situation in the casino can change at any time, and we must be prepared for that. Most importantly, we don't gamble with big money to avoid losing.

I know the feeling all too well.  You get your hopes up, thinking this is it - the big payout you've been waiting for.  The anticipation builds as you edge closer and closer.  Then bam! No dice!  Talk about a major letdown.  I've had plenty of close calls myself over the years.  And youre right, it really takes the wind out of your sails.  One minute youre riding high on the thrill of almost winning it big.  The next, you've crashed back down to earth with nothing to show for it. 

It's the risk we take when we play games of chance.  The emotional rollercoaster is part of the package.  As much as we revel in the exhilaration we have to be prepared for the accompanying plunges too.  The trick is learning how to roll with the punches when luck doesn't go your way.  Easier said than done sometimes, I know.  But, chin up! Theres always next time.

I don't understand the last sentence but the first one is clear.
It is true, it becomes more frustrating if you are too serious about gambling and I think we should avoid that as much as possible. They say have fun gambling but it's not really easy to do that. But what we can do is enjoy every bet we make. Let's say we are playing Keno, find that number combination that will make you win, that means stopping the auto bet to pick another combination and then playing it again. I did that for quite some time and I found myself enjoying Keno. I learned that when it became too boring just let the system do the work by RNG and RTP. The good side of what I did is not that I just enjoyed it but also I found myself winning a lot of rounds. Wink
Sometimes we are thick about the win coming because we lost for 100 rounds, but there's a chance it won't happen so we must intervene, get a new set of numbers, change the game, or whatever we can do to change the flow. We could also change seeds if we want to or just refresh the page even if we are deep in losses. Don't wait for that RTP to hit because there are times it won't happen until we lose the balance of our wallet.

If their goal in gambling is to make money, it will frustrate them if they lose even though the game is almost over. But if you gamble to have fun, it won't be too frustrating and you can accept the game's end result. You can think of this as gambling, where the final result can change according to the circumstances in the game. You will also not think much about the loss and have no desire to recover. But that initial goal can also change midway when you see an opportunity to win from the gambling game. So be careful with your goals for gambling.

That's right, I think this is a bookie's strategy in certain gambling games. I just guessed it. but it's a good idea to play at trusted fair gambling. I mean games where we have been on that platform or that platform has been around for a long time. This may not be 100% but at least it helps us to have more confidence when gambling if we are not being cheated. After all, this is gambling, however, when playing we have to accept whatever consequences happen to our assets.

I understand the feeling, which is normal. I likewise experienced it in my long years of gambling. is When you are so near winning that you even begin celebrating. And in the next several minutes something happened that is unfavorable and you're winning just swept away.

But after years of gambling, I already conquered those feelings because surprises are bound to happen, and they are part of the game. There are only few times when I feel frustrated but in short periods only because I need to turn my attention to my next activity. Being occupied daily enables me to move on quickly.

I know that painful feeling when you're this close to winning, only to have it swiped away in the final moments. I'm guessing you probably felt like throwing something across the room or just screaming out loud.  Especially when you were so sure you had this one, and that sweet profit was practically already yours.  To come that close and lose it all mustve really stung.

At first, blowing wins stings pretty bad.  But over time Ive accepted losses as being part of the gamble and  wins and losses go hand-in-hand in this game; the highs come with the lows.  Whenever I take a tough loss now, I try to step back, take a deep breath, and learn something - about my strategy my temperament, or just the whims of luck.  Getting discouraged rarely pays off.  Instead, I look at setbacks as an opportunity to tweak my strategy and come back stronger.  There's always the next hand, the next race the next event to try for.

I remember a bet I had made on a football game; I don't remember which teams were involved, but it was supposedly a safe-ish option. I had searched the score 5 minutes before the game ended, and the team I supported was winning. In the last few minutes, though, the match reversed, and I lost. There are no guarantees in gambling, nor is there a safe bet; there might be safer and riskier options, but no option can be deemed safe unless you want to be disappointed. Events can change in the blink of an eye, especially in sports betting such as football or basketball.
It seems to me that everyone on this forum has the same reactions, such as disappointment and frustration when they come across a situation similar to that, regardless of how we were hoping to win but ultimately lost the game. Especially when we have great expectations or if quite a bit of our money and time were invested in it.

That's why I normally take a big breath and unwind for a little if I come across these kinds of situations. Take a short walk outside and breathe some fresh air to help me relieve some of the anguish I was feeling. You constantly think you are so close to winning, but then all of a sudden, your world falls apart, and I find it to be really unfair. I know that gambling can be unpredictable at times, but here I am in my delusional phase, believing I could control time only to be defeated in the end. So, lesson learned is that it's important to learn not to set unrealistic expectations so you won't suffer too much from the result, whatever it may be.
Well, no one is fond of losing money, especially if you're anticipating winning, that's why you should set your expectations low and don't take anything for granted. It's frustrating to lose, but a normal reaction to a negative outcome.
