4 words. JUST FUCKING MOVE ON!!!!!!

I know it is hard to accept but there is nothing you can do about it. You didn't know that it will happen to you that you will win when you are about to be empty . This happened to me one time when I'm gambling. Unfortunately, I lost all of my money and after that I saw that I won in the next draw but didn't bet on it because of lack of funds . Nothing to do about it but to move on to prevent getting stressed .


This didn't happen to me but I have watched a person who won the Jackpot but unfortunately misplaced the ticket. There is somebody who got the winning ticket and with the help of the community, he got the ticket back and I think he also gave the one who found the ticket a huge tip for funding it.

Nope, that's a simple reason for me to stop to play gambling, the result will change for sure if I still have money and play again and again for sure the fortune will not let me win if that's not my lucky day. LOL.

If I lose my ticket then, of course, that's a big thing. For sure I will be going crazy searching for that ticket just to get my money.

actually it already happened to me as well when it comes gambling and i think it's been 3 times. but i didnt give up because you know its just a normal scenario and very unpredictable indeed. For me the best thing to do afterwards is to relax a little bit wherein just to refresh your mind sit.  Rather than lossing hope because it just a game, what i mean you still have an opportunity to regain your losses on it especially if you have more efforts. In fact after how many such experience unti now im still able to make money on it.

I know this is a "what if" situation/question, but you would never know if you were to win the next bet or not since you haven't placed the bet.
Assuming I were to win the next bet or I had misplaced my ticket, isn't it obvious I would feel really bad? I would regret for some days and then move on with my life.

Most common behavior for those people who do bet on lottery just like on what my uncle been doing where he do bet his own combination of numbers without changing it on each draw.If he losses it up then he would bet once again and been doing this for almost 15 years without any winning or hitting the jackpot.When i was still 20 years old and now im 36
he do still play the same thing all over again.Lots of gamblers do have the same situation as his where they are been driven with that life-changing opportunity on hitting the jackpot but they dont realize on how much money they've already spent on buying those tickets.

Its really hard to forget these kind of events where you do know that you can make yourself rich or do have big win for you to do something when it comes to financial

but the worst that you had missed out that opportunity when you had done something which you haven't anticipated.Yes, its really hard to forget but you cant take
back on the time so we wont have any choice but to move forward and just think of it as an experience.

These are two very unfortunate events, I experienced the first one, I'm only short of one roll to win the jackpot I'm playing the martingale, this is the worst experienced that can happen to you when playing martingale,.
And on second scenario, I think I will go carry thinking about that, it's just killing the goose that lays a golden egg and it will take a long time to forget that.

The first feeling that I would get it would be depression. But this is going to happen only for a minute.
Everything happens for a reason as they say... So, if you miss the jackpot then it happened for a reason. It was a God's will not to be rich!

I don't think that gamblers have a back up plan, casual and specially those pathological gamblers are going all in or nothing. Yeah, I agree that getting another shot is not likely to happen, "lightning doesn't strike twice".

This kind of scenario has happen to me many times before, regrets!!! (it's not a lottery ticket though, but if I have the money that time in a casino, I could have won big like in a roulette or playing baccarat), but what can you do? I'll just shrug it off and think it's not for me, walk out and then fight another day. You can even compare those to the early bagholders of bitcoin, someone throws his old desktop that contains hundreds or even thousands of bitcoin, Man accidentally threw away $127 million in bitcoin and officials won’t allow a search.

I'd take a break if that happens to me. I'll definitely feel bad for missing out since i'm that close but there's also a possibility that the situation could turn for the worse. This reminded me of a video about some lottery winners and how money ruined their lives. Maybe i'm destined to lose on purpose and on the bright side it would lead to having a break but what if I won the jackpot then something unfortunate happens then it's not the biggest thing anymore.  

The chances are very slim in hitting the jackpot and we need to be careful if we had bought tickets for example in lottery gambling. Keep in a safe place and you should already aware if ever this will be lost or misplaced. Yep, it will never repeat and you should be careful in all things that's what you've had. At least you are responsible enough if you are in gambling. But if ever you had been loose, just move on and accept the fact that you aren't in a win-win situation.

That really is "addiction" and "desperate",... In every game for every player Jackpot is likely 1-5% chance of hitting it, we should accept the fact that it will never repeat on a day on a single user (well maybe on playing slots, but this also rarely happens).

I would really feel remorse about that but it won't be enough reason for me to stop playing because I am pretty sure that this will happen again.
Honestly, by just imagining it I'd still felt regretful, it more likely the luck is already in my hand yet it slipped away. It is quite rare to happen to hit a jackpot as a matter of fact it only happen once of our lifetime hence this will be definitely a BIG LOSS. Some others say that it is fine since they can manage their emotion but still if it really comes this will be shaken up their emotions and goes to the point that they will not able to control it.

My emotions always kick in when I miss something big and I beat myself pretty hard (with quotes of course). In time I have learned to manage at some level my emotions but I still have a lot more work to do to master this skill of controlling emotions. It is not just in gambling but in anything.. For example I still regret not being more knowledgeable and invest in Bitcoin when it was still in its swaddling band

^ Definitely right. You should understand that it is a part of gambling, win or lose life must go on and don't regret because that is not your last chance. There are too many opportunities that will come and not just only one mistake will stop your gambling activities. There's nothing you can do if you are almost there to get the prize. Maybe at this time, this is not yours, try to come back in another day and hoping again to have a jackpot prize that you have missed before.

We should really be careful on handling our tickets but i cant really blame other people why they do lost it for some common reason
where people got used to lost up bets from time to time which they dont care too much on where they do place out those tickets but
somehow they do have always the time on checking those winning combinations.Winning on lotteries do need 1 in multi-million chance
but even just buying a single ticket will really put up some chance for you to win. Extreme luck is needed though.

Of course yes I will still play because the game must go on just like the life must go on. You must not stop playing or gambling just because you missed the big chance of your life to become rich. All of the people who encounter this kind of scenario simply becomes sad because that would be a good chance to change their life but just play maybe that is not your time yet then you must go on and play until you win and your time comes.

What sort of back up plan, left for me any loss still remains a loss, the only thing is that some losses are more painful than the other, when you're so close, it may be more painful than when probably so many games spoilt the ticket, but I do not think it can make someone quit, except if the person has been planning to do so all the while.

The bad thing about this sort of scenario is that it instigates people to bet more after the incident than they would normally do, or have done in the past. They get this feeling that they were so close, so they try to place more bets and increase the stake with the believe their "jackpot" is around the corner.
As long as this can be curtailed, then the person would just move on.

The opportunity to get the jackpot is very rare so we don't actually know when those chances will nearing to us and if there is a opportunity to get it and i missed then just like common people feeling that i would be so upset and very disappoint but rather than always be regretting our decission i think there is a time when we cannot get the jackpot is not more than we run out the luck at that time and consider next opportunity will comes to us

And so chances are very slim and yet you have experienced it again. That will be the most awful thing that may happen on your life, you'll  also be able to think quitting the game instead.

Like this rarely happen but it surely gives us a pain in the ass.

We're now on page 3 and yet I haven't seen any different thinking among you guys,... Kinda interesting if someone has a back up plan on this kind of scenario.

Of course, I'll be sad but it is okay to burst out your regrets of not winning. What did hurt the most is when you run out of funds which is about to be a jackpot of yours, I couldn't help say any words about that what's for sure is that may be it is really not mine, nor for me even when I do have a funds it might be a different number at the time. Well I will still continue to play out of habit of course but not for the reason I ain't won. Bottom line, is that if you lose, then you really lose no matter what the circumstances are even you run out funds or whatsoever and then could possibly win 'cause win is a win.

But you cannot take that from the person involved to mourn from the almost becoming a millionaire lol 😂 imagine you are nearer but suddenly things like that happen?for sure moving on will take long time before happening.

Even us knew that it was not easy to accept those facts but eventually we have no choice but feel better and try the luck next time

But hope if the another chance came we are on the right track lol

what can we, really do? other than taking it all in. all regret and pain that you feel. a few tantrums would probably help ease the anger and frustration but in the end,
moving forward is the best action. I'm sure some would stop gambling after that scenario. but in my case, I would probably still gamble and try my luck.

Here's an example of your second scenario. I know we are from the same country so you'll understand the news. link: ruined lotto ticket

I will definitely feel bad,  I had experienced such before,  when I wanna fund my online betting account, and it took a while before the money appeared on my online account,  I felt so sad because the game was about 20 odds.

Misplacing a won jackpot ticket is more terrifying that running out of funds to  place a bet,  you tend to think about what you would have used the money to do than not being able to bet. I will feel so bad if such happens to me

- fetal position
- talk to yourself
- cry
- shout
- cry again
- repeat process until you get over with.

I think most people would be frustrated or angry.

I remember the guy who bought the pizza using 10k bitcoins (correct me if I am wrong), And there's an interview about that the he just don't think about that because that will be bad for him. Same with me, not jackpot but there's a lot of time that I run out of funds then after that the winning number will come up. I am just not thinking about it because that will be bad for me if I keep thinking about my loses, So I moved on and continue playing. I just enjoy playing so I am not that affected whenever I am losing I just gamble with my spare money. But, if that would be a jackpot that will be a lot to think of..

I would definitely feel frustrated. I've experienced this when I was gambling and was planning to go all-in in one bet and I went to get a drink for a while and forgot to place my bet before leaving my computer. I felt frustrated and it ruined my mood, and bet again all-in on the next round where I lost all my money. What more if it's a lottery jackpot and you lost your ticket. I might get frustrated and depressed at the same time for missing a chance to win a jackpot. This kind of experience might be something you would never forget for your whole life.

I remember watching in the news just last year if I'm not mistaken, about a lottery winner here but his ticket got burned in half. As stated in the national lottery rules, ticket must be presented in a good form meaning even a simple crumpled will not pass the verification. But with the help and call of the community to give that winner a chance, the national lottery allows the ticket to undergo checking since half of it got burned and really hard to determine if that is the winning ticket. I don't know the status of it now but I remember it will take a year for verification. For me, rules are rules and even I like that winner to get their winnings, they should comply with the rules.

Back to the topic, that was really a BIG LOSS that anyone can't imagine. Almost reached the status of being a millionaire but turned out that the money became a stone. It will give me lots of sleepless nights before I can move on.

I don't know what does that mean. Lol

Maybe he's trying to say that I should be careful gambling illegally. Lol
For the record, I don't gamble in illegal ways, I prefer to evade those kind of thing.

Anyway, I hope this "what if" session is a life-changing-advanced-experience that we have to be careful especially of handling the tickets.

A usual gambling experience. Regret, sit down, cry, move on.

A gambler is a gambler and they will surely return once they managed to get funds again.


Even for "what if", there is no way I will misplace my ticket. All our in a safe place every time I will bet on a lottery.

Yes, that was a big loss. Much more painful compare on you hit the supposed jackpot number but didn't able to place a bet.

Didn't happened to me but I've known people that have actual experience and that's really a frustrating experience for them as they've told me. But it didn't stop them to play instead it burned the fire inside them and wanting to continue. And if this happens to me, I'll stop a bit just to calm myself maybe for few days and later on will be back.

If this will happen to me, this is going to be a life-changing win but after knowing that I've misplaced the ticket, I'm surely going to have tantrums.

What you mean on be careful specially in your country line? I dont understand on what you are trying to say.
I agree on what Oceat said above that when things are already done its done and theres no point on regretting
or blaming yourself because you missed it.There's always been a purpose why you didnt able to win that draw.

Well, you have a point. Done is done, nothing to regret or even you make feel angry. Just learn your mistake and move on.
Who knows by next time, the scenario that you have been encounter and that was only a mistake. Just to be calm, and might enjoy for a moment as what you had now. Just be careful especailly in your country.

I assume this what if is a "lottery".

Well, I know some people who felt those regrets in the end because of some unfortunate events just like running out of funds, forget to bet on that day, or even misplaced the ticket. Although it is not that big just like the jackpot but their reaction and emotion when missing is unexplainable.

So, in my part, if that's going to happen then I might have to feel the regret though, but I believe what happens—happened for a reason. I can't do anything if I have to feel sorry or even angry, what's done is done and I can't do anything about it.

I don't have to say it is a what if because it already happened to me so many times.
I usually feel sad and frustrated because I know that I would win in that match but I don't have any money left to continue.
And since this happen to me so many times whenever I got zero balance I would instantly close the site so I wouldn't see the next game.
There are also time that I would skip 1 game because it is my last money then it would end lose and the round that I skip would be the round that would give me profit and would win.

So basically you are talking about Lottery,right?

If that do happens into me then i would definitely bang up my head to the wall and why did i miss that particular day on betting.
It wont completely stop me from betting though since your motive would be still there since you already had able to hit up those winning
combinations which your mind will tell you out that you might still able to hit on next time but somehow this will give out
negative side since this will really strive you out even more.

Lol! Happens to me all the time since I am not after the winnings, I am more on the fun to play against another player and maybe beat his streak or strategy. Beating another player with a good reputation of being unbeatable is a good compensation already. But then again, you will still scratch your head when time comes that you need money for personal consumption.

Accept it and move on. I've experienced plenty of moments like this in gambling and even outside of gambling where I closed out a trade just minutes or seconds away from a massive pump, and though I wish I had held my trade open 'till that pump, you can't alter the past and there's nothing you can do about it. You might get lucky in the future, but don't keep gambling even after you run out of funds you've set aside for gambling or else you could be starting a habit of doing this and you could potentially start gambling money you need for daily things.

This is the thinking behind the martingale strategy, and it proved to be very dangerous. I'd say that if a person plays until running out of funds and then feels pity that there is not more money to play, it's an addiction, and this person needs professional help. Why did I mention martingale? Well, the thing is that eventually, you are indeed very likely to win using the strategy. After all, if you're playing on classical 50/50 chance dice, there's a very high probability that you'll win within 10 bets or so, right? However, you might run out of money before it happens, and then knowing this you can throw in more and more money, the kind of money you were not planning to spend. Because the great winning seems soooo close! Of course, it's natural to be sad if you know you were one step away from the Jackpot, it can make one feel devastated. So it's good not to know that and not to bring the situation there, where you have almost no money left and you're hoping the next bet will bring jackpot.

Probably those prizes that you supposed to be won are not for you maybe. That is a part of losing and you don't think that it is a part of winning the situation. Accept those miserable scenarios and forget it since that is not yours. Learn how to learn mistakes. Nevertheless, that scenario is impossible to happen in real life, because when it comes from me after I had bought a ticket I keep in a safe place my tickets and I know which point should I stop.

If nothing that i can do, maybe it is not for me. Because it is still gamble, chance to win is almost same between win or lose and there are no almost win. And i wouldn't borrow anyone's money to do gambling. Then my decision is leave the game although "it almost" win.

I know a person who always played the same numbers on the lottery, and as it usually is in life the time he didn't play all numbers are come up. Since I know most of the numbers (see ticket many times), I was sure he is win something that day, but he was really out of luck. I think it pretty much hit him, but after a while, he recovered and started playing again.

I also experienced something similar in my national lottery when I get all numbers, but like in some crazy case, many have played exactly the same combination of numbers so the main reward is divided into a lot of small parts.

Not with winning the jackpot but I experience winning local gambling but I did not made a payment so the thing is “No Pay,No Win” so what I did is take some cold drinks and regret what I missed to pay ,but eventually I accepted the reality that it’s my fault and also this is gambling in which we have our own time of lucky moments and if it’s not for you nothing you can do but wait

So the What If is,feel sad at first but move on tomorrow coz there’s a time for you and don’t stop right there

Its normal to get very frustrated if this happens, if it happens to me maybe I can't sleep for some nights thinking about it. It sounds crazy but unfortunately it happens to some people betting on lotteries. It will give you a very hard and unforgettable lesson, I used to bet on lotteries and I'm very careful of keeping the tickets specially no one will like to suffer a scenario like that.

It would be normal of most people to feel lost on that kind of scenario and I think that I would also fee the same, And with this kind of stories I have a friend that once he settles a good number for his lottery tickets and that kind of number that he usually take care off and that day that he bet on a ticket, he is so happy that his numbers have make it through and won a total of P500,000 Pesos well, that certain ticket has been lost without a trace and his father would surely misplace it, that same day have devastated his family but that same thing really happens and I guess it is better to move on in any kind of lost and regarding if you had won with gambling.

Happens to me once, this is something that every gambler should be aware of although unaccepted but it's part of the reality.


Can you forgive yourself? of course, that's a big heartache you will be blaming yourself for the rest of your life, you will need a lot of help from your family to get this over because this is one chance in a lifetime.

What an awful thing to know from you guys, perhaps no one seems to have any positive thinking in this kind of situation. It's really a matter of Bad Luck if that were to happen during our exciting games. Even I, can't imagine what am I suppose to do if that such scenario happens to me. I may throw my things off the window or suddenly break what's infront of me LoL.

If such a scenario happens with me I'll just move on believing this isn't meant for me. Simply it's my fate to miss the winning chance. This too might be for something good. Another thing with gamblers loss is common, we believe it is win for us and end of the day we loss everything.

If that's the case then let's just say I run out of luck since I have nothing to bet on and I run out of funds. Just move on, maybe next time luck will be on my side. It's just how gambling goes.

Like how some people missed the time all alts and BTC pump in 2017 and yet didn't able to withdraw it since they think it will keep pumping till it all went down and all they need now is to wait, what if? they withdraw it ? he many what ifs that we wanted to happen and we hope we have done before. We all need peace of mind and be attentive to not missed opportunities again or accept it's meant to happen not just in gambling.

I have seen such a scenario in real life when I was a teenager. I was in Germany at this time and we were in a big shopping center called Karstadt with several uncles, aunts, and their children. There was a casino in this Karstadt with many games and of course slot machines on which my uncle who's addicted to gambling was playing from quite some time (the hall time we were in the shopping center  ). At the end of the shopping, I have to call my uncle and together with my father we have walked into the casino to tell him that we are already going home.

When he saw my father he was very happy and said: "Great, that you are here, please give me some money because I know this fuc... game will pay me soon!!!"
My father gave him a couple of bucks and an additional 5 minutes. He loosed everything in a few minutes and after this, he asks again and again for the money to play.
Of course, after the second or third time, my father told my uncle, that he doesn't have more money and we have to go.

Just after my uncle left the chair a guy who was sitting by the bar and watched what was happening in the casino room, jumped to the slot and after the first pull of the handle, he won the main jackpot of all Karstad casinos. We just couldn't believe what is happening when all the lights come out and we hear nothing more as the noise from the game: "You won the MEGA JACKPOT!!!".

I will never forget the look of my uncle's face, who had a good feeling that the machine will finally pay in a couple of spins, but because he was an addicted gambler, my father couldn't believe him, what I totally understand. Of course, my father still had a few small ones in his pocket and could lend to my uncle, but he thought it would be better this way, anybody would do this same at my fathers' place. My uncle never spoke to my father again after what had happened in the casino and I will add that this jackpot was 150.000 German Mark at that time and it was almost 25 years ago, so this money had a lot more of buying power.

This lesson hasn't learned my uncle anything and he lost his life to gambling. Such a sad story.

Of course I'll feel a little bit sadness if I don't win in betting but I should always think that gambling will not assure you the winnings. So I only gamble when I have some extra credits, no regrets even I lose. I just only think that the gambling I'm playing is base on luck then no expectations.

Well... Nothing we can really do about it. Heck the feeling your pertaining to is kinda like similar to regret we often feel like "If only i did this or did that" kinda thing and its kinda messed up really. Its really rather painful whenever you think about it yet you can't do anything about it. I'd guess you can only grit your teeth and move on about such. Cheers to those who got broken cause of what ifs mateeeee

People will regret about it but it will not change their gambling habit,they will just play but that lose may sit back for short or long term until another big win comes.Yes its a lost but it is not in our hand so accepting is the good thing.

C'mon mate, just like the majority of us here missed Bitcoin in 2009, 2010, etc., when the price was nothing. And yet here we are still crossing our fingers at 8K so that the price increases in the future.

Yes, there must be some regret deep down in our hearts. Some will give up and don't play anymore, but I think the majority would keep playing and looking for the next opportunities. You never know the result if you don't try, right?

PS: just don't overdo it guys, do it responsibly.

it happen to me alot of times on both online and offline gambling not only on lottery  . it happens when i lost my bets on dice game and then i tried to roll without balance and poof i hit the green spot  . it was so dissapointing but i dont stress myself too much   . i can just easily moved on but there are those times when i dont bet on an offline lottery but my winning numbers came out , that leaves a mark on me for a such a long time because those jackpots are pretty big  .

I wish that feeling to nobody honestly especially in the second scenario when you have the winning ticket but you may have lost it because you were careless and didn’t think you could win the lottery.This is a miserable feeling but for the first scenario in sport betting I think we have all been there at some point.

Are you familiar with the Filipino term "Pera na, naging Bato pa"? That is really regrettable but we've nothing to do is to accept those miserable scenarios. Instead, move on and learn those mistakes and don't let it happen again. Don't think to quit or stop if you are passionate to gamble and if you think gambling is for fun, just do it again.

This is really happening for me ..!



I will think about it for a moment, over coffee, if possible take a nap and take a shower.

Maybe, i can't force to henda to continue, it's gambling, nobody wins and nobody loses.

When losing emotions explode, unable to decide to continue,
Maybe I will retill and play from my defeat experience.
And beat him up.

I will be sad if I run out of funds, but I cannot do anything, and I don't want to borrow other people's money because I don't know if I can repay that money or not. I will stop playing and will leave those places because if I still stay there, that could attract me to borrow money from other people. That will make me chase the jackpot, and I will be in trouble.
If that is happening in real life, that will make me upset and very sad because of misplaced the ticket, and I already got that experience before. But that is what we get in gambling, and no one knows what will happens later.

What If,... you're currently playing and suddenly you run out of funds and on the next draw you missed the game which you are about to win the Jackpot.
What would you feel and do about it? Will you stop playing because of that miserable scenario?
And if that happens in real life, you won the Jackpot by your lucky numbers and suddenly you misplaced the ticket, that's a BIG LOSS already don't you think?

-Let's see how'd you feel down about missing a BIG THING in just a blink of an eye.
