Topic: Typical scenario when you are losing - page 4. (Read 1614 times)

Learning how to deal with a scenario in which you are losing money is important, as this is the most common scenario a gambler is going to face while they entertain themselves with gambling.

This can be difficult at first, as due to their inexperience gamblers let their emotions to take control of them and make all kind of wild bets trying to recover the money they have lost, however it is important to not let our feelings to rule over us, as in this way you will realize those mistakes way earlier and not suffer major losses because of them, and finally you will learn to enjoy gambling even when you are down and your luck has not been the best during your session.

not only in gambling but in all aspects of life which is why prevention is better than cure. Having self-discipline will prevent you from becoming addicted as you will be cautious about what you are doing. Just keep in mind that bad things will happen to you and your family.
 
We all know that it is easy to say that you will not be addicted to gambling but as long as you are limiting your screen time, your budget, and also the frequency at which you gamble you won't be getting addicted to it.

If that happens and they cannot stop, then the losses they suffer will be even greater. Most likely they will become gambling addicts and increase their bets continuously in the hope that one win will return their money. They will continue gambling until they go bankrupt. I think if emotions take over then losses will come because common sense no longer functions well

I always thought that gambling was a game of luck, precision and emotional control. If we can't control all that then there is just a waste of money. Gambling is no longer a fun activity, but adds stress

If the gambler get the loss again and again he may get confused into the game.The gambler will increase their deposit again and again.Then he may lose everything in the gambling.Instead the gambler can do the gambling and if they get continuous loss,then he can stop the gambling for certain period.Because he may loss every holding money,if he keep continue the game.The emotion will play the huge role after the big loss or after the continuous loss in the gambling.Every gambler get into gambling from the mindset of going to win big money from gambling and use their real money.To some it works,to others it may get away all holding.

When we're on the losing streak we don't know what to do. Most of the time we continue to wager and end up losing everything. Beyond certain stage we'll get to know better about the reality of gambling and we try to limit ourselves as we know that the end result is going to be loss. At the beginning days we won't be having much understanding and we'll be with lots of dreams, achieving big through gambling. The reality will be understood in the later days.

I personally loss control when I keep on losing. Most of the time I try to have small amount in the main wallet and secure the rest on vault. This will help me avoid unwanted losses. If not, I'll just keep on wagering to recover what I've lost. Here most of the time losing will be the end and in very few attempts used to be lucky to recover the lost funds.

The positive attitude gamblers will have the self control in the gambling.The pessimistic gambler will think all in the negative manner,So he get more depressed from each loss and get addicted to gambling very easy way.If you had taste the way of winning from the gambling and spend it.The enjoyment from the winning money spend will help us to get addicted into the gambling.The important factor of being gambler is,you should learn when to stop the gambling and when to continue the gambling.Their will be many thread in the gambling section,but the important factor is how much points you get from it.

You should have known from the other gambler’s experiences that gambling as a source of living will never be sustainable and will only put you high hopes on it and still end up with big disappointment and huge losses. That is why from the start, I set some boundaries towards my gambling habits. Although sometimes the urge to constantly gamble really triggers me, but I believe it’s all on your discipline and wise money management that still keep my gambling expenses manageable. Gambling addiction always brings negativity in us, that’s why we have to avoid it before it will ruin all our hard-earned money and end up regretting.

Yes, it's normal for many gamblers to experience this because greed can come at any time and in any situation. We must resist the temptation to "try one more time" so that we don't experience loss that will hurt us later. And there will be no point in losing a few times after we can get a big win. We will only regret what we have done but cannot win again. And I agree with you on knowing when to back off to avoid that greed.

We must learn when to stop gambling and not try to chase more wins. Maybe when we step back, that is the best time because if we continue gambling, we could lose all our money. Don't worry. We can still gamble again tomorrow, and it's better to save the money for tomorrow.

Nothing is difficult if we are willing to try it, and learning is the attitude we have to adopt to stop gambling at the right time. We don't need to think that we can get the lost money in the next round because we would rather avoid losses that could get bigger. Indeed, stopping when you lose will feel more difficult. I have experienced it, but it will be better than taking the risk of losing again in the next round. It's up to you to choose.

There are many ways to have self-control, and each person may use different methods, but they have one goal: good self-control. Everyone has self-control, but most of them cannot maintain self-control well, so they will continue to be tempted by what they see. And in the end, they will continue gambling even though they have already lost. And if they continue gambling after winning, that doesn't guarantee they can keep winning. Everything may still be a theory of self-control because this self-control must be trained from time to time so that you can have good self-control. And to practice it, you must have a strong will to have good self-control.

If you want, you can enter that 10%. But you have to try to have good self-control.

I started to gamble in 2014. I was addicted from the start all because I was looking for ways I can use gambling to make money consistently, like weekly income. I quite gambling in 2019. That was five years after. I started to gamble again a year after, that was 2020. I noticed I wanted to be addicted again and I quit again and started to gamble some months after. Then I noticed I was not addicted again in that 2020. What made me not to be addicted again was when I know the root cause of my addiction. I later knew I can not make gambling a source of income because it will only destroy my life. That was where the addiction ended.

Am a victim of some of the things you listed. I hate it when I lose for a bet that I should have avoided. Your number one is what every new trader faces and even old traders. When we lose we want to attack the casino quickly to get back our money. We do this with an unsettled mind and we continue the loss that way. The other one, nobody should gamble or do anything else with sleepy eyes. It always end badly. If you are feeling sleepy that means you are tired and the best thing to do when tired is take a break. I have learnt this.


How did you get over your addiction? I have seen people struggle with addiction for years. Some went into depression from it and had to end it with suicide. Your addiction survival story will be appreciated and I know many others can learn from it.

But stopping gambling when you lose is very difficult and anyone will always think about being able to get back the money they lost by continuing to play or bet.
You need to know that stopping when you lose will feel harder than stopping when you win while losing may not be accepted directly but if you win someone thinks about using the winnings to have fun such as going to an entertainment venue.

Self-control can start with having a patient attitude and easily accepting all forms of unpleasantness such as losing and I don't think everyone has that kind of attitude especially when gambling which creates high curiosity and adrenaline rush.
In this gambling section there are lots of threads related to self-control and emotions but I haven't really seen any important points that are very effective in overcoming the problem of self-control because all of this arises based on the self-will of the which has characteristics different.

Well that is a good impact that self-control can have but the percentage of control is only 10% of what can be done.

We all get caught up in the wind of hope sometimes, especially when things look bad. "One more try, things might go better this time," says that little voice inside. The idea of getting back losses is appealing, but it can make us lose sight of the real world. Studies have shown over and over that the house always wins. Because of this, its very important to know when to step back.

Remember that its not about the money you lose; its about how the chances work. Many people find it hard to learn how to control themselves. If you know when to stop, you'll protect not only your money but also your mental health. In the world of chance, lets promise to be smart and keep ourselves safe.

Yes, there are many points that completely coincide. I don’t play or place bets if I’m tired,this has already been proven more than once. The result will most often be only negative. First of all, you must be in the mood and strength, then you can do it. If the event is of a global scale, then I can ask my friends to place a bet for me in advance, but not for a large amount, just as much as I am willing to spend.

Fun fact: Even I knew this ground rules everytime I play in gambling, in fact this scenarios  is already imprinted to my mind is I keep repeating to do one of these bullshit scenario due to my urge on gambling. It’s like I’m countering myself that I can break this curses which I can’t whenever I try.

I’m just blessed that I can get over easily all this mistakes since I can accept it easily and move on for a next session without thinking my previous losses unlike typical gambler that  will be uncontrollable to chase their losses. We all know what’s gonna happened if you chase lose while you are still in adrenaline rush due to your previous losses.

Lolz!! you tried for remembering all those things. In psychology when someone is about to sleep in the night and on the bed he or she would be remembering everything he or she has done in the day. even though it is not all, at least 98% of the activities of the day would be remembered. and you will be thinking of them how it happened and how it was solved. and one thing I also noticed is that when I loss a bet and I want to play again to regain my loss and someone talked to me at that time, ah, I will be very much angry at him with the transgression of anger.

So when you loss in the process of gambling and one thing you have to look into is the method of gambling. you have to change the way you were gambling and adopt new style. If anyone forget or could not remember how he gambled and loss in the day then he is liable to loss more.

They will not notice after continuing a few rounds but only notice it after they have finished gambling. They will regret seeing the big losses they have suffered from the reduced balance in their gambling account. That makes them realize they have taken a big risk by continuing to gamble. But it was too late to regret it because their money had already run out, and if they still wanted to continue gambling, they had to deposit some more money. And some still deposit more money because they want to gamble and recover their losses.

When we are in a losing situation, it is better for us to immediately stop gambling activities because if we instead deposit more money, it will not provide a big opportunity to recover the losses. We will experience a big defeat, which can make us lose a large amount of money, making many people unable to accept it. We really have to minimize the risk of losing money in gambling with self-control to prevent losing a lot. And it's worth doing because we can stay within the limits of what we can afford. We also don't need to try to recover from previous losses because it will be difficult for us to get a win that can recover from previous losses.

Kudos for spotting your gambling patterns; it's a big step towards mindful play. Many of your triggers, like playing on an empty stomach or when distracted, can cloud judgment. A lot of gamblers, myself included, find it beneficial to set clear ground rules: no playing when tired, hungry, or overly emotional after big wins or losses. Multi-tasking games might also dilute focus, so consider honing in on one at a time. The key is always to remember that gambling should be about fun and entertainment. Recognizing patterns, setting boundaries, and journaling can guide us towards more informed and enjoyable sessions. Stay safe.

Yes that's one of the best thing to do since making yourself more busier can help yourself erase out your urge to gamble. Although its really frustrating to lose but for as you stated once session done and you already on right mind to think about your past actions made you will just laugh about your attitude shown since you find it wrong and funny then think about will not commit same mistakes again.

Emotional self-control is indeed a challenging skill to develop, especially in the context of gambling where the allure of potential big profits can override rational thinking. It's essential for individuals to recognize when they're losing control and to take steps to curb their impulses.

I think what helps most to most peeople would be having a turly responsible gambling involves setting limits, sticking to a budget, and being aware of the risks involved. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes these benefits, and the allure of quick gains can lead to reckless behavior.

Hmmm... My losses for a long time have been associated only with betting on sporting events, so most of the reasons listed in the first post do not affect me (I place bets in advance). From what I noticed, the main reasons are a violation of my own rules - for example, in order to increase the odds of a multi-bet, I add a prohibited outcome to it. For example, Dortmund's victory (when they are not on a winning streak = they have not proven that they have temporarily overcome their instability).
