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?

because of the way I easily get addicted to doing certain things, I don't allow myself to gamble to the extent where it would become a serious threat to my emotional well-being and so I haven't gambled to the extent where I hated myself for going that far.

But I have had a course mate in my undergraduate days that used all the money his parent gave him for is school fees to play gamble and lost it all out and was unable to pay off his fees and thet coursed him a serious problem in his studies that resulted in him having an extra year in school and till date, he is seriously regretted his habit. Gambling is not to be followed up as something your life depends entirely on if not you're going to learn your lesson the hard way. Gamble with an amount you can afford to loose and find yourself something reasonable to do with your life so you will live a balanced life.

I think a lot of people can share my experience...

You have a long losing streak and then you get that urge to "Go big or go home" and you go "All in"!! In most of those instances, you end up losing everything. Angry

Chasing losses or going "All in" is seldom a good idea and it ends in frustration and anger or tears.

Just accept that we have "On" or "Off" days and just adjust your play according to that. Grin

I don't blame or hate myself in any case of losing a/some bet afterall I bet with the amount of money I can afford to lose and I can only feel a sense of aggressiveness towards some people at moment after some time I would forget about my losses and move on of course I did my analysis before placing my bets so if I lose I count myself unlucky, I have the believe that there are more opportunities ahead and in as much as I have extra money to fund my account there is no qualms, Moreso I bet mostly on soccer matches so that means I only bet on weekends occasionally during midweek Uefa league matches matches thus that reduces the idea of betting everyday and prevent addiction to gambling.

As long as money is involved and the loss is huge, it really doesn't matter how it was lost, I would just hate myself for such a distasteful decision and the consequences that would follow.

I have had some experiences though and it may not be as serious as the guy in this story who placed bet twice in a day, but whenever I did place a bet, it becomes an issue to see the result, so I don't bother checking because I know somehow I lost and the pain of checking to confirm only makes the matter so much more painful to have lost yet again.

I simply just zero my mind and do it for fun instead of spending money with hopes of winning and then go weeks unend without a single win.

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?

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.

Nah! There were few regrets but not to the extent of hating my self for being unlucky. I enjoy the game actually but there are few miscalculations of my bets that made me a bit disappointed to have the said decision but it's all part of the game really.

I personally don't hate my self because of excessive gambling loss I just accepted it right away that it is part of gambling itself.

No hate to be honest as I am now a responsible gambler compared to my previous years, I learned a lot of lessons from my own mistakes and others who share their experiences here on this forum.

It is normal to feel so sad about losses that you keep blaming yourself for not controlling the urge to gamble more than you can afford to lose. I have faced this kind of feeling when I carelessly chase losses to the extent of blowing the money that was budgeted for something else. Some persons have gone as far as committing suicide because of these feelings but I have never felt this way. Most people I read who committed suicide are persons who borrowed funds or sold possessions to gamble.

I have had such regrets so many times but it didn't last for a long time. I usually have such feelings when I gamble more than I can afford to lose. But I have learned to follow my gambling plans so I have not had such regrets in recent times. My gambling experience recently has been without regrets or self-hate because gambling is not just a means of getting money but I gamble also for enjoyment.

Yes, I've come to some point where I blame myself for being unlucky, but it's more like I hate myself for doing gambling, or I blame myself because I have known gambling. There is a point in my gambling where I stumble a lot, which costs me a lot of money and puts me in debt. Luckily, I manage to wake up from that path that I build. That's why instead of blaming others or the luck for not siding with me, I blame myself because I do gambling and I can't control myself sometimes.

Its irresponsible for a gambler if he blames himself for being unlucky; not all gamblers have the luck to always win; and also, what do you expect from gambling? This is a world wherein you should expect to lose more than you win. News about someone getting rich from gambling is rare because it's not a common thing, so don't expect that you will enter into gambling and prosper.

Yes I have been in this kind of situations before and this one just happen in a single day which I decided to take some extra gambling activities and gamble more than I use to and i spend more than I also use to spend, usually i could have just used an amount between 0.5$-6$ on my local curency to start the day, but that very day I deposited about $9 or so on my local currency and I walk down to slot game.

to cut the whole story shot I lost all that money that day and I deposited again and same thing happened, I was like for a game which is base on luck what happened today, it was not as if I didn’t win any single one but out of 3-5 games I might not even be lucky to win any single one and that was how the day ended.

Lol, just last night I have this experience, I also won some money, but I didn't stop for the sake of looking for more, (greedy). And in the end I lost my winnings + my capital and then deposit twice and lose again.

That's when your greed kicks in and gambling draws you in deeply You probably thought that on the 2nd deposit you can get profit again and withdraw with the first deposit profit but the opposite is happening. Gambling is like that so you have to always keep yourself under control from gambling. I did not know how to control myself and made serious mistakes like gambling with loans. I realized this when I lost them.

Quote

Very bad experience for me, but then again, it's just another gambling day for me, so I just wake up not looking backward at that losses and experience but think that life goes on and so just take that as a learning experience. And I think everyone here has his/her own experience and how to cope with it.

A person who starts using gambling seriously for profit will have very bad results. For this gambling should always be used for fun which we sometimes forget. And then make a wrong decision and the result is very bad

People only blame themselves when they lose but very happy after winning. Winning can not be everytime. It's high time gamblers get to know this. I couldn't remember hating myself just because a game lose. I believe my time to win is at the door.

This is an experience I don`t like to share because I hated myself for being so irrational. I have had so many bitter experiences about gambling but the most pathetic I will share. This happened six years ago when I graduated from the university. As a young and vibrant guy with big dreams and plans for the future. I had always saved to establish a website where I could render academic-related services like selling e-books, proofreading articles online and then even writing academic papers devoid of plagiarism.

I have always been a sports lover and so when a friend told me about sports betting I felt it was an easy way to get the money remaining to establish my website. I ignorantly thought sports betting was about saying Team A will win and they must surely win because they are the stronger team without knowing that the outcome of a game is determined by different factors. I placed a multi-bet and had a cut one. To me, it was close and I was so confident that I would win my second bet. It was a story of cut one (lose), lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose lol until I lost $1500. I blamed my friend for the loss because he introduced me to gambling.

There are always these moments,
Moments that you wish you didn’t have to go with your guts over an old or a roll and what ever form of gambling you engage in. In all, it haven’t summed up to the point that I felt like killing myself. Just regrets and wishing I didn’t get to gamble in that moment but, it ain’t the case now.

Before I even make a stake, I get to accept the worst possibility, knowing that I could live with it rather easily than have a disturbed mind and so, I come to the conclusion on either I should play or leave it be. I think what have saved me more from gambling over the years is how I’ve come to accept the outcome and isn’t entirely after what I stand to benefit from gambling. Of course it’s a hope that you win but, it doesn’t matter if I loss too.

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

I didn't. But I did gave myself a quick metaphorical slap if I do say so myself lol. And what I mean by that is I didn't beat myself up for losing so much money cause there's already so much to be stressed about and I'm not about to lose my shit anymore just cause I drained my bankroll. But during those few days after losing myself to gambling I came upon a realization that ultimately lead me to work towards learning how to responsibly gamble. At the end of the day the only reliable companion you will have is yourself and if you beat yourself up for shit you can't really control you're only driving the issue further when you could've been using the time and effort you're given to work towards a solution.

I don't mean to sound like your therapist or a motivational speaker lol but I'm pretty much just speaking my mind about what worked for me best. I know a couple of us here are not really vocal about their issues with gambling and it's not great that you're keeping it to yourselves but if you really have no plans of divulging what's going on with your lives anymore, then at the very least work towards finding a solution. Start with my suggestions and then let me know if it worked out for you.

There are times when I regret my actions, especially if I think I overextended my luck and never stopped when I'm already ahead. It happens to the best of us. I never really hated myself for it, as hate is something of a deeper form of emotion that stems from something intense inside you. Regret is a far more fitting word to what I felt on those losses over time, and I simply just remind myself of what happened previously if I feel like I'm committing the same mistake again.

When I tried playing poker, I was so bad at playing it that I lost all the money I made in a month from my job and then I decided poker wasn't for me. I played the game for about three weeks and I lost everything. I was determine to win so I didn't get discourage and kept playing but after losing so much ai had no choice but to look for some other type of game so I can enjoy gambling and not always getting bad results when I gambled. I wasn't playing for money therefore I avoid getting addicted.

Why many gamblers like myself back then lose when gambling is as we follow what other individual are saying and not looking for games that we can play well and win. We think what others are doing will be the best thing to do but it doesn't favor everyone. I had to switched to sport betting and since I made that decision, I have be enjoying gambling. I don't win everytime I gamble but I don't lose all the time.

I have only had one occasion I truly hated myself for gambling, I felt bad for nearly two days after losing money to the dices. I was getting greedy and trying to get winnings by using a relatively high wager and low multiplier. What happened what quite what one would expect to happen, but I es quite new at gambling and I thought I could beat my bad luck by going as safe as possible.
In the end, I lost my wager in a bad luck punch.

It was not lesson as expensive as some which have been already shared here in this thread, so I would not really complain. I am impressed on how much some of the people here were willing to gamble and the feelings they had after losing those amounts of money. Remember, anyone who reads this thread: if you feel seriously depressed and cannot see the light in the end of the tunnel, please try to get help as soon as possible, there is nothing wrong on admitting to have a problem with addiction to gambling or being struggling with bad feelings thoughts.

I don't feel that way because of losing because I understand gambling is not what you will be optimistic about to win but however, I do feel very bad if I allow a cash out to disappear in my eyes Grin

and I ended up losing the game. This happens in football when the cash out is available and I become indecisive to go for the smaller profit against waiting for the full payment, thus losing such makes me feel bad and regretful.

You wont really be having those regrets if you do just simply that accept on the risks involved with gambling on which on the time that you would really be losing money then you wont really be that
having that kind of impulsive feeling since you've been already expecting from it. Losses is really that inevitable and this is something that you should really be that realizing at first.
Hating yourself because of too much loses? Then you arent that prepared on facing up gambling in the first place. People would really be that messing up their lives just
because they are trying to push things to happen even if we do know that it cant really be just that possible with gambling on which loses are inevitable.

The gambler who made the huge money in the betting will start to think like you said.Even they get the opinions like you said to finish his life for the loss.But it won’t be the solutions for the loss,they should increase their confidence to the game.They arrange the capital for the new game,this time arrange only from the income.Don’t get money from the loan resources,because loan will be the wrong decision to the gamblers to use for the gambling.Now the gamblers take a time of 2-4 weeks to analyse the entire gambling game.Because the gambling strategy alone make the gamblers to win huge money,So spending time on the gambling is good one.Finally back to gambling to raise the loss money.

Why do I have to hate myself because of gambling losses? Gambling shouldn’t be a do-or-die affair, you shouldn’t gamble to the extent that you will hate yourself because you lost in gambling. Since I have been gambling, I don’t really think I have gambled with the amount that’s going to hurt me after losing to the extent that I will hate myself. If you lose money and you are beginning to hate yourself, then something is wrong, because things like this can lead to some people being depressed and some ending up committing suicide. Always gamble with the amount you know you are not going to hate yourself after losing.

The only time I do feel bad after gambling is whenever I am with my friends, and maybe an argument comes up and we decide to place a bet that anyone who’s right will win the money, and I end up losing. I don’t feel bad because of the amount that I lose, I do feel bad because I lost an argument. But it’s just something me and my friends do sometimes to have fun.
