Topic: What are your takes on revenge gambling? - page 3. (Read 479 times)

It's dumb, and people who do this really need help because they themselves wouldn't really recognize that what they're doing is way out of line until it's too late and they have lost quite a significant amount in what they're doing. People need to control their urges and there's really no better way to do it than recognizing early on that something is wrong if they're doing just this.


Desperation sometimes force people to look into gambling as a way to get some money to pay debt, or to gain quick money for other purposes. Apart from that, there really isn't any reason for a person to chase losses. Perhaps if that person really is struggling financially they shouldn't have gambled in the first place but hey, regrets always come last for a reason.

Another thing is perhaps that person really is deep into their gambling addiction that they feel the need to always chase losses even if it cost them a lot more than what they can lose. If your brain is wired to react the same way on something that continuously happens to you, you won't realize that you're having the same response to address the same scenario over and over again, all the while expecting a different outcome in your mind.


There aren't any straightforward measures to combat chasing a loss. You wouldn't really consider preventing it from happening up until you address that it's a problem that needs fixing. One way to prevent doing this is just setting a limited budget for gambling each month, and sticking with that strict budget no matter what happens. Mix with it your money for your needs and you'll have a hard time thinking of gambling more than what you have allotted for yourself because your next meal is on the line. Sure you may always borrow to your friends, but you'll have to really think before doing so because you will pile up your debt in no time.

Revenge gambling is like you're chasing all your losses which is actually a wrong mindset. It only shows the incapability of a gambler to control his emotions. It could only lead to more losses in the future which we might just regret in the end. We should accept the fact that losing will always be a part of the journey but chasing it will be the wrong move. Impulsive gambling due to too much emotions will only cause trouble in the end.

As long as they are responsible for the financial loss then I don't think revenge gambling is a problem. I agree in most cases revenge gambling is not the best way to deal with past losses but revenge gambling will make them lose control of their emotions and finances.

We don't need to fight revenge gambling, let other people do it as long as they are able to take responsibility but limit yourself from doing it under any circumstances. Don't put your emotions in front of your desire for gambling, but you must stay calm as much as possible in any case.

People who indulge in revenge gambling have poor impulse control. It doesn't end well.

Inexperienced. Hardly would you find a veteran gambler chasing losses.

Have a gambling budget.

It would be difficult for someone to recover their losses in gambling because casinos are not designed to give gamblers big wins. If anyone thought like that, he should be prepared for many more losses and of course, it would cost more money. Controlling himself and not thinking about recovering losses is a way he can do so that he doesn't try to recover his losses by playing gambling the next day. But there were indeed some people who were able to recover his losses but compared to how much money he had already spent, the recovery was still difficult to achieve. So it's better not to think about chasing his losses and just gamble and have fun.

That's not good behavior let alone chasing defeat, I'd say it's stupid to just chase this because of emotion or being too greedy in a game.
This will obviously cause a lot of losses if in the context it is revenge in gambling games, while we continue to do it, it's the same as if we play with even bigger losses, this is indeed difficult to overcome, but we have to think gambling games are not for revenge after losing but ready to accept the consequences with the game being run, I don't even think that this will be done by many people unless they are wrapped in excessive emotion.

Just like on your previous thread about revenge trading, this is the same which many don't advise to chase any losses because in gambling, you might lose more if you continue to gamble and chase those losses. Once you already reached or spend all your capital, better to accept that you lose and go home straight, don't ever think to gamble again in the next hour because the result might also be the same. In order to avoid any revenge gambling, better not to bring extra money every time you gamble this can limit your exposure and you can save yourself from losing more.

Is there such thing as revenge gambling though? or we just prefer to play as much as we can regardless if we lose or win the last time? Before during the height of my addiction, I wouldn't think of this so called revenge gambling thingy, I will just simply play as much as we can go to land base casinos and spend countless hours on the floor. And then comeback the next night, not thinking of the money I lose and that I want to win it back that's why I go again and play. But maybe for some they have this kind of mentality and it could be wrong as it could lead to more losses in the long run specially if you lose successive days because you want to a payback and satisfaction that you have recovered your money.

actually it does not only lead to revenge but prefers endless curiosity, when they are sure they will win in the next game but usually it doesn't match reality, so it's better to leave the casino is the right way because basically playing with feelings of revenge will make us drain even more money to lose

Claiming to revenge on loss for money in gambling is a foolish behavior in gambling and the psychology behind such believe of instant recovering of money lost to gambling should be discouraged entirely, as you would end up losing more.

People that engage themselves in revenge gambling are those that use money that was meant for something else or project plan to gamble with the mindset of doubling the money. People should learn to differentiate between moneybmeant for gambling and money meant for specific projects or plan as it would reduce this issue of revenge gambling among gamblers.

In my opinion, an attempt to win back a loss is one of the most common mistakes that admit a gambler at a time when he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Gambling means that the casino has an advantage over the player and the longer you play the more likely you are to lose. If you think that it is so easy to return the money you lost you are very mistaken and you need to reconsider your views on gambling.

In general, you should try to play not to win, and for the pleasure of the game, but some gamblers never come to this understanding.

I guess gamblers are not going to learn from this mistakes.


Really hard to answer though, I mean for the majority of gamblers, of of course, we don't want to lose to most of the time we wanted to play again and take a revenge gambling. So still 50/50, if you take it then win then good for you, but if you lose again, then it's a double whammy and if hard and very frustrated for gamblers.

I guess to combat it is to man up and take your lose and play on other days, maybe next to take some days off first and when your mind is clear then maybe you will have to think whether to play again or not and not chase you losses.

Revenge gambling is a means gambling site will be able to make more money from punters that want the revenge because the punters will gamble more to win back what they lost and also looking for more profit, but they will not be able to even win back what they lost but a time of more maximum losses as they lose more money.

Revenge gambling is a harmful and dangerous behavior that can lead to significant financial and personal consequences. It is often driven by negative emotions such as anger, frustration, and desperation, and it can be very difficult for people to control their impulses when they are feeling these emotions.
There are a number of other reasons that people might engage in revenge gambling, including a lack of understanding of responsible gambling principles, a lack of awareness of the risks associated with gambling, and a lack of access to support and resources for managing problem gambling.
