Topic: To what extent have you hated yourself due to your gambling losses? - page 6. (Read 1156 times)

Everyone appreciate that field in which he find profit but if he losses money in such field for just two or three times then he will not support that field but will talk against it. Same is with gambling that people evolved in gambling cannot identify about its harmful effects because it gives them an opportunity to earn but they fail to get the point that win is for just one time in whole year while you faces loss for the whole year but gambling is such a toxic field that nobody can leave it.

Don't gamble at first but if you initiate it then don't gamble for whole day because it can then ruin your life and you will leave all other activities for gambling. Accept success and defeat both because they are part of game and don't be too busy in gambling as it is not a suitable field.

I don't think that I have that moments that I have hated myself due to gambling and with my losses. I understand and accept any loss that I incur especially with sports betting.

I've got a lot of disappointments and losses but that doesn't make me hate myself for my actions. Maybe some of the times, I've got regrets but it didn't come to the point that I have to hate myself.

A normal reaction like cursing and regretting that I have bet when I lose sometimes but it's not that I hate myself due to that because eventually, that feeling is gone.

I had a series of losses... When I was younger and without family I had situations when all my wallets got empty! But I never hated myself, that's a very wrong thing to do. I can throw some hard words in all directions, but I usually calm down after a few minutes and I just continue with my life. Of course, I made some promises to myself that I would "never play that game again in my life", but that never lasted too long.

Now I am much more careful with money. It's important to be careful about deposits/spending on gambling and to take breaks after some consecutive losses. As I said many times, it's all fun & games as long as we play with amounts we can afford to lose. As long as it's like that it's never "the end of the world" even if we lose some money.

To hate oneself is a tough extreme feeling, so I don't think I have been on this situation at some point. I already felt heavily regretful, but never reached to the point of hating myself for losses faced in gambling. On the other hand, if I wasn't able to learn from my mistakes and continued gambling and losing money without limits, that is, if I became a gambling addicted, then it's possible I would hate myself for not being able to get out of this vicious circle.

And actually, when people reach to this level, it becomes very dangerous for them, because it keeps leading the individual to further negative consequences and habits, possibly reaching to suicide, since they feel too bad about themselves that they just want to escape from this aversive conscious state of mind. It's the complete opposite of the narcissist person, who is always superior to everyone else. The one who hates himself will always feel on the bottom, unable to elaborate any positive concepts about his own personality and traits.

Therefore, everyone should be careful to not reach this bottom. If you feel like you are hating yourself, that your self-esteem is too low, or that you are a complete failure, these are signals to be attentive to, because they might be leading you to self-destruction. Seek for help, and be assured that it's not too late to revert the situation and find qualities in yourself, besides achieving goals in life which you will make you proud, satisfied and self-realized.

This thread reminded me of what happened to me a few years ago when I started my sports betting journey with the hope that I would be able to win something, on the first day I created an account at a trustworthy casino and deposited 50$, made my first bet of 10$ and I lost, I was upset because I had a lot of hope that I would be able to get that bet right. but I made a mistake and lost $10. then I made another $10 bet and lost. Again I was very upset because I was counting on getting that bet right, then I kept making more bets and I lost on all of them, causing me to lose all of $50 without at least managing to get at least one bet right. That made me very angry that I made another deposit of $50 and I lost everything

I started to wonder what the hell I had that I couldn't get at least one game right, and it wasn't a multibet bet, it was simple bets. so I made a deposit of 30$ and lost in 2 bets again, I was so angry that I told myself that I would not bet again, but as the minimum withdrawal amount was greater than the 10$ I had, so I did a bet that I randomly chose the game, something that I just wanted to lose, but it was unbelievable that I won the bet even though I had bet on the underdog, then I received a free bet and I was right, I managed to recover my profits. But I still preferred to stop playing for many months because I didn't want to have that feeling of consecutive losses for a long time.

It hurts a lot to lose consecutively for a long time, the thought I had at that time was that I was a loser, so I only started making bets again when I started to know how to analyze games and when I forgot about greed, today I bet with little money and I have managed to get successes and defeats. which in my opinion is something positive considering that the house always wins. I don't expect big wins, but I struggle to hit games with big odds that give me a profit

Yes, there was one when I was just starting to gamble,  what made it more disappointing was I was trying to win because I needed money but while you keep trying to win it's the losses that keep coming, I considered myself jinx because the series of losses is just unbearable so I decided to take a time out from vacation, and when I came I was surprised that the wins just kept on coming, that erased my mind that I was a jinx in gambling.
A long series of losses and a long series of winning is just natural, so I learned that when you're having bad losses better take your time, and when you're having a series of wins then strike while the iron is hot.
However, none of these matters if you're playing for fun - winning and losing don't matter when your mindset is focused on enjoyment.

When I suffer lose streaks, that's when I feel like I'm bad in analyzing and I'm not capable become a gambler lol. Even though I only gamble small amount, but lose is still lose, no one want to lose, just like you're playing a competitive games e.g. MOBA or FPS, you're trying to play as best as possible.

Usually I will bet in safer choice to increase the probability to win.

Experiencing defeat in gambling will definitely make our minds a little disappointed. Moreover, the nominal amount of money used in gambling is quite large. Of course, for everyone who gambles, it will definitely be a very sad thing.
But for me personally, I am the type of person who doesn't like to blame myself. Because this will actually make the situation worse. So when you experience defeat in gambling, it would be better if you respond with a cool head.

Because if I personally am asked about losing when gambling, it seems like it happens quite often. But I never regretted it too deeply. Because it's called gambling, losing is a big risk and we have to have the courage to bear it. So basically we have to be aware of this. Because if we don't realize it, then when defeat befalls us, it feels like the world will definitely fall apart.

And the simplest and most effective advice that I have proven is very good for gambling is to manage your finances. Because by managing finances well, we will know where we will enter and at what point we will stop. If it is clear, the point is that the capital that will be used for gambling must be regulated or allocated. So, if for example the money has run out, then stop gambling until there is enough money to gamble again. Well, from this, I personally rarely lose big in gambling. Because the key is that I always manage the finances I have for gambling.

So in conclusion, when it comes to losses in gambling, I have experienced it. But to hate myself for that I never.

My wife which is my girlfriend that time join me on hating myself. She hates me more than I hate myself that time because I keep using our joint savings fund on gambling. This not a series of loss but just a one time loss. After this incident I never touch any funds that doesn’t belong to me solely. Btw I’m not exactly pertaining to actual gambling here but on Ponzi scheme that gives me 10% daily profit. That time I’m still new on this kind of scheme and I thought I can grow our savings through this new found investment. 



No but we are both laughing now to this mistake because of how dumb of me to think that I’m genius that time to find this kind of rare investment opportunity. This is worst on gambling because I don’t have any chance to get an ROI from the start compared to gambling that give 50/50 chance.

Just in today's lottery as we do have a lottery game in our country to guess 3 numbers. If you are correct you will win and I will say that you will win a decent amount of money. Today I haven't been able to bet because of my laziness due to the weather, and guess what that number that I've been betting on since January was the result. So I was mad earlier today, which caused me to do house chores rather than sleep. But this is really gambling as it is not my lucky day so we should also learn to accept our losses.

I don't hate myself because I was unlucky, but because I stepped up when I won $2500, however, I used almost half of the money I got to gamble again with bets that were much bigger than my habit. It's like this memory can't be los, in fact I'm not sure I'll experience the same win again with $40 deposit.

well, this become the stupidest decision I ever made, and made me hate myself at that time. But, I don't hate my self until now. Because, it's time to look at something in the future.  

Losing and winning are two things that always go hand in hand in the world of gambling, everyone experiences that, including me, I also experience the same thing, but I never blame myself when I lose a bet, I know and understand that it's gambling, so there's no point if I blame myself.

I've thought from the start that the bad luck I experienced in betting wasn't caused by my fault, it was purely my luck that day and it was unlucky, maybe I can try the next day, if the next day is also unlucky, maybe I'll stop for a week to rest, maybe I'll get lucky when I go back in and bet.

The worst thing I experienced was when I gambled and won quite a lot of money, but I didn't stop playing, I thought that this was my lucky day and continued playing until in the end I didn't win a penny, and I had gambled all my income. I

As an adult I don't remember that ever happening to me, and I'm glad I didn't, especially seeing the stories told in this section. When I was younger I did lose more than my fair share playing slots, but I didn't hate myself for it. I was ashamed and a bit angry, but it helped me to learn the lesson and not fall into those behaviours as an adult.

This happened to me only once, when I was still inexperienced in gambling. After playing for a long time, I was met with a series of failures of consecutive defeats, which ultimately led me to lose my entire deposit. After that, I was upset and hated myself, because I thought about why I even got into all this, because if I hadn’t done this, there would have been more money. The amount was not huge, a few hundred dollars, but since I am used to taking everything seriously, my moral suffering was not commensurate with this petty money.

But then I accepted it... probably this is one of the stages of acceptance. I realized that losing is only part of the game and in return the victories will be brighter. Now I’m more restrained and don’t allow myself to bet too much, because if that happens, I’ll start to hate myself again, which I really don’t want to repeat.

I had a lot series of losses, but I never thought that I was so unlucky, because I also had a long series of wins, I understand that losing and winning are part of the game, the only time that I hated myself so much was when I lose money that I should have not allocated for gambling when we are experiencing a series of losses we need to stop because we are just going to frustrate ourselves by blaming ourselves.

Stopping when we are experiencing a series of losses is the right way to do, and just let it pass in your mind, in gambling there is no such thing as unlucky there is just a series of losses and it happens to every gambler, if you continue to gamble even though you're experiencing all of these, then you are addicted to gambling.

He is probably repeating same thing, whenever he notices he's lost lots of money while gambling. That doesn't make him irresponsible. I actually chuckled reading his response, in the sense that it could be his way of cautioning himself for spending so much money gambling. Since he's not worried on the development, he's all fine with it and nobody is getting disturb for his action. Then his reactions shouldn't be a trouble either. Gamblers have different ways of dealing with losses. Some time when I lose the reactions from me doesn't match my normal action or behavior. He only needs to find something else to make him feel happy when in such a mood. So that it won't eat him up in the process. It's always a thing we should expect as gamblers. Not all gamblers, though.

I haven't done anything rash so far that I would hate myself for losing in gambling. Since I enjoy trying new games that my friends have introduced to me, I will gladly bet whenever I have the guts to do so to see what will happen. For example, if I were to try playing the game and wager a small amount, I would definitely withdraw the money and deposit it into my account as soon as it increased.
 
However, there was a time in my life when I placed a small wager and, through continued play over a brief period of time, I did manage to make a sizable profit. However, as a greedy human, something inside of me kept telling me that I ought to wager more money than I usually did, and I chose to gamble rather than cash out my winnings, which ultimately caused me to lose and all of my profits to vanish. Although I was disappointed in myself at the moment, I didn't hate myself enough to consider suicide because I only gambled for the profit I made; therefore, I guess the house wanted it in return, even though my money was still there and only the profit was lost.
 
I believe that each of us has a unique and amusing experience when we go back in time to our silly human behaviors.

The gambler who lose the money in the gambling site was the easy one,because it’s just the possibility of the game.Many people get the depression by the time of losing their funds in the gambling site.But the important factor of the gambling site is the same gambling site will help the gambler to win the big money.If they do the gambling with some good strategy which can track the algorithm of the gambling site.The gamblers will get temptation after the game loss,but the loss of money will always give the temptation to the gamblers.If you interact with the gamblers they will share the gambling strategies with you and it helps to earn more money.

I have had one experience, the loss was not repeated loss per say; but I made a wrong move that deny me of money that would have change my life for that moment. I had games selected and it was review by me and what I normally do with plenty of rack up odds is I make sure I round it up in hundred anytime I want to give a long shot of half time to win or win either half. I did all my selection and review but I had 99.8 odds, I wanted to round it to 100 and added one extra game and it was set and I clicked bet with my stake.

What happen after the games looks like miracle, all games were right but I got the shock of my life with the last game. It didn't win. The game I should have ignored and play deny me of other winnings. For a week, I didn't enjoy gambling and still remain one of my pain loss but I have move on. Gambling has a way of humbling the way you think sometimes but it's all fun.
