Topic: Typical scenario when you are losing - page 14. (Read 1920 times)

Yes, I will get lost after a huge win. I don't know what happen, I ever try to withdraw all my wins and deposit again a few money. But still, my luck seem gone after ai got a big winning before. Now, with that experience, I try to reduce the loss to do not playing until 2 days. Maybe, i have a greedy and can't control it after, so that situation i can't think straight and just push a button bet without calculation it again. So if I stretched until 2 or more day, i'm so fresh and ready to make the big winning again.

Hrm, I don't think I do, it's pretty random. I usually play in the middle of the day, alone as well, so I don't think others would have any influence on that. I also actively try to not to link everything to patterns, it's the number one gateway to thinking I have this under control when I don't. I think the most notable past I had of losing was peer pressure? I absolutely lost it when people were around me, talking about the game. This was one of my few instances when I started out, playing with others, it was devastating imo. Well it might have really just been me wanting to show I can, well, show something, and that turned out rather badly.

This is somewhat relatable. Even though I'm not usually doing this, there are times wherein I try to push myself to win another few dollars in order to meet the minimum amount needed in order to withdraw. Afterwards, the game would just decide to go against you and not give you a win, forcing you to bet stupidly and rapidly resulting to a loss. It's like the whole world is just against you at that point and it's one of the worst feelings ever.

This never improved the chance to win. If you gamble without breakfast and you feel hungry, how can you focus on the game? I always do something realistically although I am experiencing something very badly, like getting a big loss. This is why a gambler needs to have a good self control. When he experiences a worse day (got many losses), he won't feel frustrated and ignore his healthy to chase winnings.

Chasing winning won't be a good idea although we are in a good mood. People probably end up with huge losses because of this way. Although we bet with bigger funds, it won't increase the chance to win. Especially when we play a luck-based games, nothing to give a very significant impact unless the luck itself. 

Forcing more wins because I am near my withdrawal amount. 
That's when I will keep on losing. It's like the gambling site knew what I am thinking.

We cannot stop the losing streak, especially after a win but it just bothers me that we cannot win at the amount that we want. Gambling sites seem to have a limit too on how much they will give. In my experience x10 of the balance is the best I have seen but never go beyond that. After x10, a losing streak will come and it becomes a stressful playing time.

I've experienced some of the scenarios on your list but the one I am quoting never fails to make me start losing, It makes me uncomfortable when someone is watching behind me when I am gambling, doesn't matter if it is a family member, relative, or a stranger. I can feel that they are watching me and it is ruining my thought process for some reason.

Waking up in the morning without having to eat is like that you're forgetting how to take care of yourself because of gambling. It shouldn't be like but look who's talking? Hehe.

When I'm in the past job that I am working with, it's always on the right time when I wake up and that's only enough to prepare but eating is out of the schedule. Although that's not from gambling, this only means that we need to take care of ourselves.

We'll never know what will be the impact of it if we're not careful enough. But the feeling of losing is really going to lose our appetite when we're in recent of it.

I've got the same feeling of OP. This happened long back when I was much into gambling and my mind always think of recovering the losses. For this I used to wake up in between the sleep and gamble. Those aren't necessary and mostly my losing happens whenever I get tempted to gamble hiding from my wife. In such scenario I gamble fast, because I need to make something before she is next to me. Most of the time I used to loss few dollars and in the urge to recover before she comes I end up losing everything.

Failing to take cash out offers have been my most weakness to winning,  because on many occasions,  I have had the chance to have walked away with a big amount of cashout but failed to take any of such games mostly embedding along to give the gamblers each tenacity to provide adequate liquidity that will sustain that game session and after that the final result of the game is either winning or losing.

If it is on sports betting, I might possibly think that the list affects your judgment.  But if you are playing the chance-based game then the list has nothing to do with your losses.  Chance-based or luck-based game results is random.  It is affected by the RNG and not the external situation we are experiencing.  So I can say, since I am a chance-based game fan, I do not think that these factors can affect the result of my gameplay.  The emotion maybe, but not the gambling result.

For me, this is always the cause

I kept hoping that my winning run would continue to reach as big an amount as I could reach and I sometimes ended up losing everything, playing late at night is also the cause I also experience this sometimes you become careless and unmindful of what's happening all you could think of is just try to win so you cashout and you can go to bed but unfortunately, the opposites are what happens, I change my playing habit after dinner and never log in one hour before I go to bed.

My biggest weak spots are when I am bored and decide that for some logically lacking reason that I feel lucky and once I start losing, I double down in hopes of making my money back, until my funds are at 0, or when I feel lucky after a row of wins and basically end up going down the same road. Either way, I manipulate myself into a corner.

I never experienced gambling a full night. For me, it is not the right way to gamble a full night without sleep at all. Personally, I didn't gamble to chase money, but mostly gamble for fun in my spare time. I am a full-day worker,  I can't imagine if I never sleep at night because of playing gambling.

Well, don't rule out health and social aspects. If we gamble full night, I'm sure it gradually brings negative impacts to our body and we are probably less to interact with other people around us because we spend time to sleep during the day.

Does it mean you get new fund to allocate on gambling again? Or you just stop gamble when you recovered the losses? I don't really get the point of this statement.  

I think your mom has done the right decision. Since you gamble excessively, she needs to monitor. Your mom shows his care to you, she doesn't want you be an addict. You shouldn't ignore it, you must thank to her that he still cares to your life.

I agree with you on this,  last week I had such an experience where I almost lost all my winning all in excitement and wanting to win more.

How it happened was,  I won about $270 in Bitcoin on stake and instead of me to take a break and make my withdrawal,  I decided to gamble more trying my luck to win more in the game,  but along the line, I lost almost everything,  this incident thought me a great lesson never to be overly confident in gambling even if we are winning.

It's surprising you've mentioned gambling early in the morning without eating and gambling late night while being sleepy but not gambling after drinking alcohol, because I think it's certainly one the worst condition for gambling along with taking drugs (medical or recreational). I don't know if taking much coffee is good or bad though, it would be interesting to get a poll on that.

Losing is part in gambling but the more you put your hopes high that you’ll eventually win in the end, the more losses you’re going to incur. That is proven already because a lot of times I gamble with the start of feeling positivity and all of it and then won at first but later on, all you experience are just consistent losses until you used up all your money in gambling and realized late that you’re not really lucky that day. So you call it a day and then prepare for the next day believing that you’ll eventually recover all what you lose, and yet you end up still losing even a bigger amount at the end of the day.

Whenever I chase losses, I always lose more. That’s why when I am gambling and I notice it’s not my lucky day, instead of me chasing my losses, I will rather stop gambling for that day and come back another time. If I keep on chasing my losses, then I might end up losing everything in my wallet and I won’t be winning back any amount.

If I am stressed and am feeling sleepy at night, I won’t be able to concentrate on my analysis before placing my bet, my attention will be divided, which can lead to losing in gambling. I do gamble whenever I am relaxed and bored, but whenever I am sleepy, I will drop my phone and go to sleep because if I try to gamble, I am just trying to waste my money.

I've been known to lose a lot of money in this situation. Most times I get this insane belief that I might just hit the jackpot if I play one more at the expense of my sleep. One time, I inputed an amount I wasn't supposed but because I was playing with already drooping eyelids, I didn't notice.
One thing I've come to understand about gambling is if you put your whole attention on winning, it might not yield positive results but once you realize that it's a game of chance and set your mind that way, you will rake in winnings.[/list]

Many gamblers have gone through such losses and the the scenarios that you shared in your thread are 100% accurate for almost every other gambler. I have to say that the thing also happened to me many times when someone talked to me while I was doing gambling and due to shifting of attention I have also gone through losses. The same thing happened with me many times and that's why I have decided to do gambling only when there is no one in the room where I'm placing my bets because a minor distraction can be the cause of losses.

Most of those scenarios happened with me as well and I must say that there is a lot of emotions that could alter our luck during gambling. Any wrong emotion could lead to huge losses and that's why whenever we are under the influence of negative emotions or whenever we are out of energy then in such time we should avoid placing any bets because in those times most of our bets will be go wrong and we will have to bear huge losses.

Aside from these scenarios I have also lost a lot of money by following the Martingale strategy. That dam strategy is totally useless and whoever follows that strategy will end up emptying his/her account balance. I must say that if you are someone who plays crash game then avoid Martingale strategy at any cost because if you go with that strategy then you will surely lose everything you have.

basically, you tell us that you lose more when you're distracted gambling. Are you fond of playing games with strategy, or are you into games of chance? While I still think distraction plays a crucial part in affecting your decisions I don't think it would affect you that much if you're playing games like dice and roulettes, since your distraction plays little to no part in the outcome of the game anyway. As for card games like poker, I could understand it being a probable cause for you losing more money than you would've wanted, in which case I say you shouldn't gamble on the fly and only ever gamble when you're not distracted, saves you the trouble of losing games you could've won if you had a sound mind, but at the same time it drives the essence of gambling even further, which is to only be played as a sort of pastime/entertainment.
