Let me start by asking a question that is not very much different from the topic..

In your entire gambling journey, have you ever had a series of losses to the extent you hated yourself so much for being so unlucky?

I was going through reddit in the early hours of today, and came across a user who lamented bitterly through his post, of how unlucky he has been in gambling in the past few weeks, like almost a month now, he said he bets minimum, twice every day, but have not won a dime for the past weeks, and this made him hate himself so much, I sincerely felt pity for him, for I remember one time I lost a huge sum of money to betting, I felt so bad that I thought of killing myself  Grin.

So, let's share our worst gambling experiences, have you ever hated yourself so much due to lack of winnings in gambling? To what extent, and how did it end?

Do you still hate yourself even now?  Grin

Lets discuss.
Obviously i will not deny that i have hated myself and have also seriously blamed myself for getting involved in gambling at the first place as a result of series of losses. there is this notion that i had about gambling loss, each time a lose i usually see it is an opportunity to employ another strategy to make a difference but there is one certain period that i lost almost all the money in my online wallet and i was so infuriated that i blamed myself badly for even having a gambling account. within that time i hated everyone around me and everything that relates to gambling because i was so depressed considering the amount a lost and the time i have invested to build that online wallet.

No one has ever admired loss or welcome loss as part of him or her though we cannot avoid loss  but it pains a lot when it turns out to be a recurring activity because you will regret ever getting involved in such kind of lifestyle, sometimes i asked myself where is the fun in gambling when we lose, a thing of value, we feel pains, sometimes depressed and yet people will come out and tell me that the essence of gambling is for fun.

Lol, it depends on why you are gambling.  I mostly gamble for entertainment.  In that case I really could care less on at least small types of losses.  Even the bigger ones it comes and goes.  If I had a good time that night in the casino then we'll it was all worth it and just the cost of a night out.  Don't take it too seriously and it becomes a lot easier to deal with.   

It's easy to say don't take gambling seriously, but when you're in the situation, you might not be able to do everything you said. Gambling does different things to people's minds, many lose their minds because they can't control what to do when you enter the world of gambling. We don't know the mindset of all people why they gamble and why they get to the point where they take playing it seriously? why are many making it a source of income even though it shouldn't be? Why do so many people continue to lose and are in huge debt but continue to gamble? It's hard to explain, isn't it? So no matter what you say that people shouldn't take gambling seriously, you won't understand until you are in their situation.

In my opinion, those who chase victory do not care about losses and they will not feel that the money they have lost is a problem. and in my opinion we shouldn't have to chase wins at gambling because chasing wins will only drain our finances. It's true what you said, the key is in wise gambling, we have to gamble appropriately, not gamble excessively. because excessive gambling will only make us miserable and it will drain our finances.

In my opinion, learning to gamble intelligently is the same as cashing in your winnings, because cashing out the winnings you have obtained is the best and smartest choice. Limitations in gambling can be done by limiting the budget for gambling and limiting the time for gambling, because if we gamble for too long that is not a good thing. and can stop gambling at the right time, when we win or lose we have to stop gambling because this is related to wise and intelligent gambling.
On the time that you do already make yourself numb when it comes to loses then its better that you should really be making yourself to quit gambling because it is already a solid
indication that you are already getting addicted to it. This is the main issue on most people and this is why you should really be that responsible on actions you are making.
Dont come into a point that you are spending up too much because this is where people do usually falls down and whine and cry later on when they have dont
more money into their pockets. Loses are inevitable and this is something that you should really be wary with gambling and be sure that you would be that responsible of course.

Gambling addiction is indeed one of the most common problems, with cases that tend to be all about gambling addiction because gambling has a bad impact if we do it excessively, where there is no good responsibility for the gambling that is done, which leads to addicted to gambling and making big losses. Excessive actions that make them irresponsible are also wrong thoughts that encourage them to carry out excessive or irresponsible actions.

It's true, even if it's not because of gambling it's the same, I've been there where I didn't have any money at all with the many desires I had and it made me cry with that very unfortunate situation. so is gambling if we use a lot of money to gamble maybe it's true what you said when all the money runs out to gamble they can just cry bitterly. losses are inevitable but losses can be minimized by us gambling responsibly and having certain limits set,.

That's right, because they don't care about the big losses they experience, in my opinion it's because they still have the belief that they can get big wins at gambling even though they experience continuous losses, that's not a benchmark for them to stop gambling. I agree with you, the persistence and ambition they have is good, but in my opinion the persistence and ambition they have is misplaced, if they continue gambling like this the number of losses will always increase.

that makes sense, indeed regret cannot make them stop chasing victory, I think they have to feel the lowest point of the impact of gambling, maybe it can make them aware and can make them stop gambling in pursuit of victory. I don't know what kind of thing, but what is clear is that it has to slap them so that they can wake up. and maybe that lowest point can make them regret and hate themselves for having done careless actions.
Yes, gambling's cycle of loss and pursuit of win might feel endless. But lets not forget that gambling is entertainment and a joy for many. I believe the solution is prudent gambling, not banning it. Imagine if same persistence and ambition were used to study savvy gambling. Limits, stopping, and odds are key. Psychology and money are involved.

Advocating fun Gambling properly combines fun and excitement with self-control and awareness. The lowest point should be a wake-up call, but it should also teach temperance and gambling within one's means.

If we love to win money from gambling and if we won some money then for sure it is ourself who gets too much love from our own self but this should not be the case if we lose money in gambling and start to hate ourself. This means that we are too much controlled by our emotions and do not think that gambling is a game of winning and losing. Only if we can save our money in gambling, that will be a big success for us. Gambling is such that you cannot win everything and you cannot lose everything. Those who know this will plan accordingly so that they have more winnings amounts than the losing amounts in gambling.
However, ourself is more important to everyone and we should not harm ourselves or do anything bad with us, in case we face bad luck and lose some games.

The gambler who made the big win in the gambling site,will have seen their money multiplied in their wallet.So this will boost his confidence in the gambling site to make money in the gambling site.If the gambler increases their betting money again after he get more confidence in the gambling site will leads to the big loss.So the gamblers who get money all the time will get more temptation to play the gambling again.The gamblers should control their temptation if the gambling money is important money for the family expenses.The gambler get the chance to win huge and loss completely in the gambling site.

If you are someone who doesnt really like on losing money then gambling isnt for you or you should really that making yourself that be able to avoid gambling because this is really that definitely be able to experience those things on which it is really just that right that you should be wary about the reality or else you would be finding yourself that becoming that impulsive due to that extreme disappointments into it.
This is why you should really be that wary about the risks involved and not forcing up things to be working on that way.This is why it would be best that you should really be realistic on what you are doing.
Dont be hopeful and gambling should really be played just for the sake of fun and then you wont really be having no problems with this.

That's right, the chance of winning in gambling is very small, compared to the very big chance of losing. I think many gamblers experience continuous losses because they don't see this side, so they continue to gamble even though they lose and lose. and indeed any strategy cannot ensure that you will win with certainty. If gambling is done well and with good understanding, perhaps the risk of losing large amounts of money will not occur.

and in my opinion, the regret they experience does not necessarily mean they will be able to stop gambling, maybe they will even want to continue gambling because they want to recover the losses that have occurred. and even if they win, I don't think that victory can cover the losses they have incurred. The wins they have obtained will not fully cover the many losses they have experienced. That's right, no matter how much they hate themselves for the defeat that has occurred, it won't change the situation, even if they think about it hard, it won't produce results that can turn things around.
They realize that they have spent a lot of money and experienced continuous losses and they also continue to gamble, no matter how much they know they have lost a lot. They still don't give up and are even more challenged to continue trying to gamble and wonder whether they can recover their losses or not instead get big profits. Their persistence in trying is indeed very good but that doesn't mean it applies to gambling because if they chase their losses too much they will end up getting trapped in a big hole and no one can save their situation or it could be said that they will get into big problems that they themselves have caused.

Sometimes regret doesn't make someone feel like giving up or stopping because they still believe they can win at gambling no matter what, they will always try continuously until the point they don't have any money and if it's like this I'm sure he will hate himself because he has always been a loser failing in a gambling game in this case can be a lesson that gambling can make you feel mentally down if you can't control yourself.

So, let's share our worst gambling experiences, have you ever hated yourself so much due to lack of winnings in gambling? To what extent, and how did it end?
Losing is inevitable in gambling, therefore it must be expected already when you use your money to play. Consistent losses are certainly not funny at all but come to think of it, if you're not happy with what you're doing and it's just giving you stress, making you hate yourself for being so unlucky, do you think it make sense to continuously playing?

In my experience, I also felt the same way when I was a newbie in online gambling and has a high expectation to win. I thought I can double my money in snap and it's not hard. But gambling slap me with the real deal. Thus, if you can't bear losing your money, much better to not play at all.

We all know that, unless we don't want to accept the truth that we lose money. Actually, that shouldn't be a huge issue since losing is part of gambling, it has only become a problem when we lose control like gambling more than our budget especially if that money we loss in gambling is already allocated for something more important, that will make us desperate and instead of stopping and try to find money to replace that losses, we tend to try it again in the same venue we lose more than our budget. We call it stupid, but that's how we act sometimes, we just have to accept our mistake and learn from it.

I've never gambled and lost and it's gotten to the point where I hate myself for being so unlucky, even when I'm on a losing streak. Because I thought that it was just gambling, what did I expect from gambling, especially since most of the games I played were slots, so I understood that the percentage of my losses was higher than my wins. So when I'm really unlucky, I usually stop for a while until I can calm down and start playing again.
It only goes to the point being discussed here for excessive and impulsive gamblers because they don't know when they should stop, so even if they are losing constantly, they still keep going until they reach the point where they exhaust all their accounts and lose everything they had which is when they start hating themselves for doing that, but there is no point in having this hatred because what has been done cannot be undone and you have to live with it now.

This is why everyone needs to think it through before making any decision, especially when it comes to financial decisions because if you make a wrong decision and lose your money on something useless, you will not be able to forget it and you will hate yourself for making that decision when you realize it.
Fate will really be that depending on the things that you would gonna do on which it would really be that something whether you could really be able to stop for yourself or would really be planning on proceeding on despite of the losing condition that you are really that facing. Not all would really be having that the same mindset or intellect when it comes to things on which there would really be those people who would really be that continuing even on the worst condition or odds.As long they would really be able to follow up on whats up into their mind then they would really be simply sticking with that.Gambling should really be just that for fun and not something that would really be destroying your life, on the time that you would be making yourself that being affected much by it
then this is where issues do really come and would be resulting into disaster.

In your entire gambling journey, have you ever had a series of losses to the extent you hated yourself so much for being so unlucky?

If you are not ready to accept defeat, don't gamble. Very simple right? Generally, gamblers already know what they will face at the end of the game, if they don't win, they will definitely lose. Hating yourself will only add to new problems such as depression and other things that will affect your body and mental health.
Losing is an unfavorable situation for gamblers, this situation is certain and is experienced by many other gamblers. Always use money that is ready to be spent to prevent other things that could harm yourself. Blaming yourself will not return the money you just spent at a gambling place, just accept the reality and start avoiding gambling if you are not ready to accept defeat.

Let me start by asking a question that is not very much different from the topic..

In your entire gambling journey, have you ever had a series of losses to the extent you hated yourself so much for being so unlucky?

I was going through reddit in the early hours of today, and came across a user who lamented bitterly through his post, of how unlucky he has been in gambling in the past few weeks, like almost a month now, he said he bets minimum, twice every day, but have not won a dime for the past weeks, and this made him hate himself so much, I sincerely felt pity for him, for I remember one time I lost a huge sum of money to betting, I felt so bad that I thought of killing myself  Grin.

So, let's share our worst gambling experiences, have you ever hated yourself so much due to lack of winnings in gambling? To what extent, and how did it end?

Do you still hate yourself even now?  Grin

Lets discuss.
If you had the thought of killing yourself after a loss, then I don't think you should be gambling anymore. No matter how much you are going to say that you "just thought of it, you would never do it", gambling is not safe of you. In fact, it is not normal to think of killing yourself over "some" losses. You didn't harm yourself the last time, but what is stopping you from doing it the next time? You might end up gambling all your savings and everything you have, and then the next step you might want to take is something drastic. Gambling should be all about fun and excitement. It shouldn't be about hating yourself or trying to harm yourself.

Every gambler who wants to win indeed have great hope and confidence in himself to be able to win a large enough amount of money hoping that luck will come to him even though it is clear that there is no definite belief in winning at gambling because gambling is full of uncertainty. Thinking about risk is the key so that we don't take too much risk so that we avoid being greedy and also have the ambition to win big, let alone hope in gambling because this is just a game full of risk.

Most gamblers who don't accept losing are like that, they try to recover their losses by continuing to gamble even though instead of being able to recover, their losses increase. It is very difficult to recover losses. If you are not careful, your balance can be drained due to chasing losses too much which causes you to become addicted to gambling and Once again, never hate yourself, even though you always lose when gambling, it means you are unlucky. Stopping for a while is like saving yourself from misleading gambling.

It's true that there is no definite belief about winning at gambling. In my opinion, this is something that is still a mystery and will forever be a mystery because no one can guess accurately whether the gambling they do will result in a win. Some gamblers don't think about the risks involved, I mean the risks involved in gambling are often ignored, even though if they could see this side maybe they wouldn't experience big losses.

I think by them recovering the loss it means they can't see the risky side of gambling. also I think when every time they lose gambling they regret it, but the regret is still outweighed by the hope they have of winning big. and in every regretted loss they may hate themselves for not being able to control themselves well. it is true what you said that saving yourself from gambling should be done consciously not to gamble excessively,  because it is not a completely profitable action.
Yep, it's true that gambling is a mysterious thing because no one can win for sure even if they have used any strategy because gambling is a game that has a smaller chance of winning than losing, if you win then it's money from other people's losses. Casino owners create gambling to provide games that are money-based but fun for their users. By considering it as entertainment and managing expenses well, it will not be a big risk for the gamblers themselves.

Yes, some gamblers sometimes ignore the risk of losing so that they only realize it when they start losing quite a lot of money and in the end regret having ignored this risk. Even though they hope that if they win they can recover their losses, gambling winnings are not certain, we don't know how big the winnings are and I don't think it's enough to cover the losses they have experienced so far. So even though they hate themselves because they often experience losses, but still they could not restore the situation to normal.

That's right, the chance of winning in gambling is very small, compared to the very big chance of losing. I think many gamblers experience continuous losses because they don't see this side, so they continue to gamble even though they lose and lose. and indeed any strategy cannot ensure that you will win with certainty. If gambling is done well and with good understanding, perhaps the risk of losing large amounts of money will not occur.

and in my opinion, the regret they experience does not necessarily mean they will be able to stop gambling, maybe they will even want to continue gambling because they want to recover the losses that have occurred. and even if they win, I don't think that victory can cover the losses they have incurred. The wins they have obtained will not fully cover the many losses they have experienced. That's right, no matter how much they hate themselves for the defeat that has occurred, it won't change the situation, even if they think about it hard, it won't produce results that can turn things around.

Hating myself? Never done that when I lose, maybe I regretted my decision but it was never a hate. However, I would just be able to accept it within 24 hours as I don't want it to bother me on my upcoming session in gambling. I made a mistake, I learn from it, that's the only process but sometimes when I go overboard, I need to stop for awhile to evaluate my mistakes and reflect on it.

We are human so we are prone to make mistakes, and since gambling does involve our emotion, it's important that we are not weak, otherwise, we will easily get addicted and it could possibly ruin our life. But let us not allow it will happen to our lives, best thing to do all the time is, learn how to forgive ourselves.
Some people will be liberal and not hate themselves but another part will be frightened by the flawed version of themselves as they indulge in gambling more, like it was a moment where their regrets were voiced and their repentance was expressed but even so, the feeling of disgust should not be maintained, hating more and more only makes us become a more damaged version of ourselves. As you mentioned, it is a lesson and an improvement in personality, each shell of the buggy version will be the maturity of a future version with powerful fixes
I don't know the reason why gamblers should hate themselves because of losing if not for the fault of the gambler himself from the beginning. You do not just gamble senselessly, but if you did, then you can blame yourself or even hate yourself if that is what is nice for you to do so that you will not repeat it again. So why not? Gambling rightly has approaches to it, you can't miss it if you follow the right approaches and due process, and you can only miss it if you do otherwise. Missing it entails the fact that the gambler is gambling anyhow, and some will be gambling within gambling itself, which makes it so ill.

Gamblers must have certain gambling styles and approaches, and if these approaches are good enough, they will bring about better gambling results and even pleasant experiences for the gamblers. But in the absence of this, it will be losses and mismanagement of the gambling account, so no gambler should be exonerated in this regard. They must be blamed and they can be bitter with themselves to enforce a change if that is what it takes. All that matters is for them to stop making mistakes and treat gambling as it should be done. Or else, they will continue to lose in their folly.
Accountability is crucial, and reckless gambling is inherently dangerous. I find it unfair to tell them to blame themselves for failing. Isn't it better to learn from mistakes? Im convinced.

I like the idea of "proper" gambling. I support strategy, discipline, and research. These aspects are essential to gambling and life. To never miss the mark is unrealistic. Even with the finest techniques, losses happen. How we handle losses defines our gambling experience and character.

Gambling is fun for me because of the experience, not just the winning. Highs, lows, strategy, suspense. Its life in miniature. I promote a joyful, respectful, and self-forgiving relationship with gambling.
