I found it as one of the most interesting question from this article. http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions

Do you guys have that kind of feeling when you are losing in gambling?

I think it is normal for every gambler to feel that way since we lose our own money.
But sometimes I would just regret that I gamble that time since I could spend it to something more important like food.
Those are the only feelings that I have whenever I lose in gambling regret and the feeling to come back as soon as I can.

You answered Yes to 13 questions

Most compulsive gamblers will answer 'Yes' to at least 7 of these questions.

Wowza that cant be very good

That's just human nature, no body wants to lose that's why majority are always willing to keep trying their luck until they're able to win back the funds they have lost but it take only a smart gambler to recognize the importance of lossing and been able to stop gambling, as well as learning from the mistake that lead to those losses and probably gain experience from them.

I hardly pressure myself to win back my losses as I immediately stop gambling the moment my gambling budget for that day get exhausted. That's the secret weapon I use lol.

Well yes and I think we all share the same feeling when we're losing especially if it's fresh. But, learning from those past experiences that it's not necessary to win them back as soon as possible.

Because this can lead you to lose more if you're too furious on that very moment.

To be honest when I lose I am sometimes feeling sad but without regret, The feeling that before I am ready to play gambling, my mind is ready for any outcome of the results after I play but when I lose I feel sad about the money that is gone from me, It's just good that I set limits on how many money can I play on a whole session of playing gambling to be able not to feel any regret after the game. I can also recover fast from the sadness that why it's ok in my part, Not like before when I was still an addict, I play until I get satisfied in my current session that the cause of the depression I feel after I lose on a game.

I would say based on my experience, yes, I would try to withdraw more money to win back my loses, but I know that is not a good attitude as I already experience the outcome of losing control in gambling. Yeah, I call it losing control since you are gambling or risking beyond your limit and that will make your gambling activity too risky since you can't accept your loses when it's possible to win back again next time.

This is compulsive gambling, people with lack of discipline will normally do this but regret afterwards.

I think all of the gamblers believe that way because one of the main reasons for the person why they are gambling is to earn more money. So when they are losing the game, they will feel so irritating in a way that they want to back the funds that have failed. Gambling is not a sure win situation because you will rely on the luck, so as soon as possible try to distance yourself from being addicted to gambling because it is not good at all, and the bad thing is you may feel depression or sadness of losing as well as perhaps experiencing feelings of shame and guilt. The worst thing is that you may do bad things to prevent dropping. There is some news that I have read that a person kills a person who beats him in gambling. Now he is in prison, that is the wrong side of gambling because, as I have said, gambling is not a sure win situation unless you learn or search for some information or technique in winning the game. There are still some gambling sites where you can learn the process for you to win. We have the same perspective about a person who loses the gambling they will undoubtedly want to turn back the money they have lost.

Nobody likes to lose but gambling more out of anger can only create bigger problems. We need to understand it's simply not our day and come back some other time. The moment we decided to gamble we should be ready to lose it all. Why else are you gambling? It is a big risk for a big reward. That risk can sometimes pay off and at other times it doesn't.

When I was really into gambling, I always have that feeling.

After losing my money, I always want to play again without having a second thought. I always think that I should play to win more and I don't worry about the possible things to happen after I lose. The feeling of I must return quickly to try to win my losses back. But that is also the main reason why I end up being broke before.

I think it is just natural that we have this feeling or urge to regain what we've lost. Many gamblers surely experience it but in my case, I wouldn't go back right away. I would learn and study things on how I could win the next time I play and see what I did wrong or what caused me the loss. I think it would be unhealthy for your investmeny if you are going to be too regretful from losing so instead of letting the urge to regain, the best thing you can do instead is to strategize so that you can surely get back all that you've lost.

No gambler would not feel like that but as we mature in gambling, we would like to make the right decision despite we are losing as we might lead ourselves to more problem and we will be blaming gambling for that.

Based on my experience, when I lose my control in gambling and try to win back my loses, it usually end up with losing more money, so every time I lose, I have to regret and promise not to do it again, and actually it take time to mature and master the right attitude in gambling.

Unfortunately, but the desire to play after losing is the most common feeling that appears just after a defeat. This is not just about gambling, but it happens in probably every sport or even discussion. While in sport revenge is something good, in gambling an attempt to win after a defeat usually ends badly, that is, increasing the defeat. Unfortunately, but just like in the case of a good run, it is said not to interrupt it, in the event of a defeat you should do the opposite. Very often, failure is accompanied by a feeling of anger, and anger often suggests bad decisions, so in this case we should take a break and return to the game when we calm down. Of course, it is often not easy to tear yourself away from the game in this situation, but it is certainly a better solution than continuing the game with a feeling of anger, because it often leads to the desire to quickly recover losses and increase the stake. Unfortunately, in the event of a bad run,increasing the stake only leads to a greater losses.

Today one of the most profitable earning is with the use of cryptocurrency gambling and many people today make investments just to satisfy their desires to find some fun and also the goal to earn a lot of market profit. A skilled gambler can win a lot of profit but not all the time it a player win their games and get a lot of profit some of them getting lose their money because of having a wrong decision. Still, even they lose they return immediately to their game because it continues their momentum but not all the time losing and getting back into the game gives immediately a come back of money.

Nobody wants to lose. If I still have some spare money allocated for gambling I still play. However, when I reach my limit, I stop. Chasing for your losses might lead you to further loss. This might trigger you being greedy and being addicted to gambling. It is, either way, win or lose gamblers tend to either chase for their loss or to test their chance of winning further. That is why most gamblers end up losing even if they have won a lot of money on the early part of their game.

By observation and some experience I have undertood that this is the most dangerous mistake we do by playing to win only. And this is the cause of many reasons like addiction , financial loss , Heath hazards etc beacuse quite possible that again we may lose money and we keep doing this things which eventually may hurt us as winning is not easy the way we lose money .

For me, it depends on how much I have and how much I've spent and lost by playing. If this balance tips more towards loss and little money left, I cut my losses and stop playing but I must say this also depends on the type of game I'm playing. Some of them, like Bitkong can be so easily addictive but at least I can play with very little and still get the thrill :)

I think that is the same with other gamblers.

When I lose I feel something that I wanted to take that back even though I am not really desperate to win. I can feel that conscience that I should not do that, that I should've spent that to other things, maybe food, so since I did that I regret that I did it. As the chat wheel of Dota2 says, I immediately regret my decision. But as the game went on, that conscience goes weaker and weaker and I just enjoy that game. I only bring money I can lose at that time so I think that is just fine.

There are times that I feel this kind of situation especially if I can feel that I will win the next time I gamble again, it is only natural for a gambler to win back it's loss if possible the sooner is the better.

But in many cases I let my temper to cool before I gamble again as being greedy is not the best option to win back again my loss though sometimes I gamble with greediness and most of the results are lossing streak instead of winning.

That's almost automatic for everyone who losses a bet, most specially If you're close to the winning moment. I always feel this everytime I'm lossing, but what separates me from other hardcore gambler is, I'm a more disciplined bettor who knows my limit. Though sometimes I get too emotional, but most of the time I can handle such loss and know when to stop.

The first time I gamble, yes, I want to return the losses by playing more games, but then, I realize that it is too difficult for me to do that. So after I think for a while, that will only make me lose more money, I decide not to try to return the losses, and I think I need to quit gambling. Sometimes, I will come back the next day if I have free money, but I never think about recovering my losses because I already think before that will be difficult for me. I will only play gambling as usual and without thinking about recover the losses.

Good thing to do is to limit yourself and don't follow your emotions, that will only harm your funds. Bankroll management is the key for you
continue enjoying and not to be engaged with this activities. When you feel the urgency to play back after your losses it will end losing more
be aware that emotions only leads you to make more mistake.

yes i do but the problem is that the funds . i dont have enough funds to comeback yet because my salary was taking too long to arrived yet  . i cant do a thing but to rest and divert my self to other things just to forget the urge of playing gambling again  . but if i have a money on my crypto wallet , it usually happen after payday  . i will just redeposit imediately and play   . sometimes i can recover what i first loss but sometimes im just unlucky that three consecutive deposits i could loss .

No gambler that never encountered a loss. So for sure, every one of us here can relate to the topic. Well, after I lost in a gamble game, there's always a side feeling that I should not make a bet or better say regrets, and can't deny it. And there are times in the past that I urged myself to return on the game to get back what I have lost cause I can't accept easily the money I spent on it. That would be acceptable if you use your hard-earned money or the money you can't afford to lose but we must know that it is not the right decision.

Yeah, the urge to get back at the soonest possible time is strong. I guess that's why doubling up on your bet or resorting to the classic Martingale strategy are sometimes attractive after losing. However, in my experience, its strength dwindles down as time passes by. Immediately after losing, I really want to gamble more to recover my losses. But when there is some interruptions in between, like you take your lunch, or you need to do some errands, or you had to attend a meeting, that urge may actually go away. Your loss would just be a loss.

I have read all the questions on the web and answered more, no, if reading all the questions is quite scary if someone answers yes especially question number 20.
If only wanting to recover the amount of loss from gambling I see it is still a natural thing, not easy accept the loses moreover you confidently will win that bet.

Most of the time yes, no one wants to lose, everyone wants to win when they gamble. People gambling because they wanted to earn big money in a short time thus, everyone is after the winning so if a gambler losses he/she is definitely gonna think of winning it back because it his/her money unless if the person we are talking about are the rich people who don’t really mind losing huge amount because they have plenty.

Well its part of the game whether you want it or not there is possibility you might win or lose. Maybe the best thing to do is to have goal and time management than returning without a plan. In my experience returning without a goal is wasting of money, so to win back my loses i'll make sure i have strategy and know my limit. Also gamble when you are ready and do it only for fun not for hobby to not become addicted to it.

I've experienced it multiple times because there's a part of me that still hoping that I can easily get back the money I have lost but unfortunately gambling doesn't work that way. It makes me realize that gambling will not assure me anything it's either gain it back or lose another amount of money and that's why I allow myself to learn about how I can manage myself because it will be my guide as I continue gambling journey. I think its the reason why most of gamblers end up being addicted in gambling because they allow their greediness to change their way of thinking, they just keep risking their money with the thought of they can win it back.

Yes most of the time I would feel that way theurge of winning back what we lose.
But we should know how to handle it I must admit there were times that I also deposit right after I lose at gambling,
But there are times that I could win it back plus a profit.

I think most of us experienced trying to get back all of our losses, but trying to get back all of your losses will only harm you that can lead you to lose more money, that is why when i am experiencing a lose streak in gambling i started to stop playing amd trying to get back all of my losses in the other day to avoid losing more money.

I honestly don't because it could result to a bigger loss. Frustrations should be avoided by gamblers because that would more likely result to addiction. The urge of winning back would make you unaware of the amount of your losses because your attention is only focused in winning.But most of the time, what happens is the total opposite. Instead of winning back your losses, the losses is just getting bigger and I think that is why it is not advisable for the gamblers out there.
But self control should be prioritized in gambling. One should set limit of how much he could afford losing in a single night. Then just comeback the other day, and maybe, your luck would be calibrated.

In my case, no. I've been used to lose in gambling and every time I lose I just think I deserve it since I should not be gambling in the first place. I should not also feel this since this would really turn on your desperate to win and can start your addiction to gambling. When I lose, I lose, if that continues, I stop and just gamble next time.

Oh yes yes! I get that feeling all the time right from the moment I lose and it lasts whole day or even days. It feels like as if I am giving up on that potential win! And makes me sad lol that I am refusing to win it back.

I see gambling as entertainment where I spend my extra money to have some entertainment.  So definitely I do not have those feelings whenever I am done on my gambling session.  I already accepted that whatever the amount of money I am using as a bank roll is good as gone so there is no reason for me to regret or hurry to play again to win back my losses.  I also don't think that I am wasting my time and regret it afterward because my gambling activity is planned and scheduled so I make sure that I am totaly free during those time and won't conflict or affect any of my present or future activities.

Normally YES, anytime I lost then I think that I have to make a new deposit to recover. I did it in the past when I did gamble for money, fortynately I can control myself now. I wont force myself to return as soon as I have just lost my money, I'll take a break for few days or even weeks. Once I come back, I do not try to win back what I have lost previously, but I take it like a new start.

I used to when I am new in gambling it was a bad experience on my part because it cause depression thinking that you need to get back your losses when there is no guaranty that you can get your losses right away, it took me time before I overcame that kind of thinking, now I'm more relax and can accept losses.

I can boastfully say I have passed and survived this stage. At the initial stage it wasn't easy. Then, when I loss, I would always play continuously thinking that I can win back my lost.
Unfortunately, I would end up losing more money and even important money I have budgeted. Now, when I play and lost, I deal with it. Knowing that everyday can't be the day for wining.
I guess every beginner gamblers past through this stage.

I do end up on having this after inputting my answer.  ;D

Sometimes I give myself sometime to move on and take a break for a while because greediness can lead us to more losses. Losing streak is really more likely to happen if you push yourself to your limit just to bring back the losses you had. Gambling again after a loss lowers the probability of you winning again because the environment and the feelings is still there, the feeling of being a loser in gambling. So it is important to become fresh again and rest so that when you gamble again, everything is new. No hard feelings, no stress, and you are just focused to win and enjoy the game. The true purpose of gambling is for an entertainment and relieve stress, it shouldn't become a source of stress and depression. If that happens, seek help from the professional gambler who are always there just to guide you.

Whenever I am experiencing consecutive losses in gambling, I tend to stop for a while to strategize and think of the mistakes I've made from my previous defeat. If I am going to let myself be controlled by my urge to regain from what I lost, I would definitely end up losing higher causualties. I consider it as a huge mistake gamblers commit, losing self control can definitely end up giving you greater disappointments so be wise and smart with your decisions whenever you are gambling.

This is a part of the human nature. It applies not only to the conventional gambling, but also other forms of gambling like trading, or investing or even in real life situations. A trader would want to quickly recover from a loss quickly and this usually results in more losses.
A striker which misses a golden opportunity would be desperate to convert the next chance that comes their way.
This feeling if desperation makes one careless and should be controlled in order to be successful in gambling.

I think, people who think they have to return their losing money are very greedy, most of them are stuck with debt or selling personal items (because they only want to return their losses before).  I personally do not think like this, if I lose then I will stop and come back to play tomorrow and not always think that I have to return the losing money.

Sometimes there is an immediate urge especially if I lose a lot but if you keep doing and thinking this you are feeding your addiction to gambling, I finally learned to control this kind of urge because it will only harm me and makes me depress the whole day or night.

When I lose i feel bad about myself.
I have a feeling that I am not successful as I got the wrong decisions that made me lose my money. However, this is an ordinary feeling it passes after some time and I don't feel that I have to return back my losses the soonest possible.

Yes, each gambler has a special way of getting excited during the loss!!!And the best if you control your feelings during gambling, And if there is definitely a loss of emotional control, we will suffer more losses :-\  Personally, I don’t regret losing my bet because I can lose a little money and I don’t think about getting back the money I lost so I enjoy gambling!!! ;)

Every one of us here surely experienced that at some point. If you say you don't, there's a huge chance that you're lying. There's a certain feeling of loss that accompanies an actual loss in gambling, and you feel the urge to get back what you lost even if the odds are completely against you. By doing so, thinking logically and rationally wouldn't be available for you, as you are only focused in getting back what you've lost and nothing else.

Perhaps it is within the human psyche to lose their self-control whenever they lose something. People do this not only in gambling but on other aspects of life as well, be it a lover, a job--literally anything else.

I think that thought is the most destructive when it comes to gambling.
The fact of trying to recover what you lost, as quickly as possible, leads anyone to lose even more and generate more feelings of frustration and loss.
The ideal, and what I do is to make a plan about how much I can bet, and if I reach that limit I should stop.
That would be the main rule to be followed to avoid more losses.

It depends on the situation because it is not always we have to quickly take back bets just to cover losses, because in gambling there will be different situations that require us to take a break or even there is a time with good situations we have to make bets again. Always control your emotions in this matter, because if you cannot control your emotions properly then you will only accept more losses and suffer more.

That feeling is very common in gambling and any other activity that puts money at risk like trading and while I can understand those feelings it is not right to actually follow those feelings and try to get your money back immediately, what you need to do is the exact opposite, you need to leave the casino immediately and think about what happened, why you lost that much money? Why you were carrying so much money with you to begin with? How can you avoid this situation?  And until you do not answer those questions then you should gamble again.

it's a normal human instinct and less of the person's character in general. We are hard-wired to feel frustrated, and everyone in the mammalian group feels this to when they aren't successful in carrying out their task. The frustration that we feel when we can't get what we want is there and it pushes us to come back and bet. This happens everytime, snd it saddingly messes the mentals of the player up. They tunnel vision and aren't good to judge at this stage, which causes even more frustration to the player and more losses. This had happened to me not only in gambling but in videogames too. Now, it is up to you on how you will react to this hard-wired frustration. Will you take the bait? Or will you calm yourself up. Either way you'd still be pushed to play the game anyway.

As I was saying, we can't just judge people's character over a bet. Not unless it is their life's that's on the line I suppose.

Regrets for sure if you lose a big amount and lose for sure that could be frustrating but if it was just a small amount surely it will not totally going to affect you.

But I think it is just being negative and positive at any time you could still make anything positive depending on your thinking sometimes when we lose what we think is this you be the end not thinking about the positive side of it.

You should always think very carefully when you've just bankrupted yourself.

Significant losses can cause players to make rash decisions that aren't properly thought out, such as betting the remainder of your bankroll on a ridiculous bet to recoup your losses.

Sometimes it's better to just accept your losses and walk away with what you've got.

Come back on another day with a clear head and better strategy, never let your emotions take over or you'll get ruined.

Not a good idea.

Even how hard it is, big or small, move on to every loss and start another day. The purpose is to always win as much as possible in every session, not to count all the losses we made in the past.

Instead, take that losing experienced as our reference to somehow avoid it the next time we do our gambling session. Where did we go wrong? What have we done that lead to losing? What else we need to improve?

Maintaining winning stats is the key, not to chase losses aggressively.

Of course most of us feel this way but that's when you must control yourself and not chase after losses. So many gamblers fall for this and try and make up losses but most times then not they end up losing a lot more and dig an even bigger hole then before. The best thing to do is walk away and take a break for a few days/weeks and even months after a bad loss or losing streak. Come back fresh and with a clear mind and put the loss behind you, try not to think about it too much, I know its hard but that's the way you can move forward. Not only with gambling but I also apply this to crypto as I could of sold at a certain time but didn't and lost but I move on as there are always more opportunities just like gambling to an extent. 

I think this happens quite naturally and is normal in the case of most gamblers. I don't gamble much, so I can't say much about it from my point of view. But, I have seen users at the online casino that I usually play come back soon after they have lost a good amount of coins. Kinda feels like they are desperate to win back their losses. I have seen this to be true even for users that win a lot. They seem to come back again and try to win more. Some of them end up losing all their profit and then they try winning to back. Its like a cycle that keeps going on and on.

I will be safe here. I admit I do have a goal to chase back losses but NOT IN A SOONEST as possible. It's crazy to think like that. It's a suicidal move rather than a recovery move.

Recovery of losses will still undergo the normal process, normal betting, proper analysis, calm and relax mind. If we forced ourselves to recover losses within a short period of time, it will result in just more losses. The process will now be long before we can recover. But we have to take note that it's impossible to chase back all losses. What we need to do is to minimize losses so that our bankroll can take us in the long-run.

It may be difficult for others to try this but we will be used to it while we do gambling continuously.

That is normal I think, for sure every gambler feels the same way. But coming back over and over again after losing every single time is not healthy anymore. Your pride now eats you since you are manifesting that you can't accept defeat. It will only make your situation worse because impulsive actions like that will not bring you good things. As a gambler, learn to rest when you are having an unlucky day :D. Be patient!

When I lost my money when after I play I feel yes that Im going to recover my lost or turn my money back but not sure it is only instinct or your prediction. Remember there is no player who really sure about what happened when they play gambling because there is only some possible outcome is either you lost, win or your money still same .

A player wants to always win because they don't want to lost their money because money is everything so once they lost it they have mind once they play again they think they gonna win .

Well its a human nature to feel that way, but I think the real question is can you refrain yourself for not returning back to recover what you have lost?

In my case it depends, if I have spare money to gamble again then I will gamble but not for the reason I want to chase back my losses. Its not a good mindset if you play because we know how risky gambling is and it can disappoint you once what you expected didnt happen. Its better to play and enjoy it rather than thinking how you can get back your money because in the first place you should know that you can lose your money from the start.

No, I don't have the feeling to return as soon as possible to win back my losses because I don't think that I will have a chance to win back off my losses. Even if I win, my winning still not bigger than my losses, so that makes me leave the gambling place, but perhaps, I will be back in the next days. But when I back in the next days to the gambling site, I don't try to win back my losses, but I only play gambling as usual. Gladly, I don't think about my losses, and I am trying to enjoy the games only.

Recover my losses i think it's normal because basically while gambling in the bottom our hearts we refuse to lost so if sometimes we lost in gambling then we always be so curious want to take our money back and i have done it before but unfortunately the results was very bad even i had suffering deep lost but currently it makes me realize we cannot push ourself to luck so if i'm lost then i will stop gamble and starting again for next days or if i have free money

About this question?

No if about question number 7, but I found other questions more appealing:

I only answered "Yes" for these five questions, and thanks God I received this message:

*Source for all quoted parts: http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions

I'm safe... for now lol. It's nice to remind people how bad compulsive gamblers are, but I have the optimism that we could become a healthy gambler community here.

I think that is only natural for every person who gamble to try and get back the lost amount of money as soon as possible.However this is also a step which divides addicted gamblers from non addicted ones.The ones who has an urge to get back to gambling as soon as possible are the ones with the highest risk of becoming addicted while gamblers who prefer to lay down and think calmly are less prone to addiction.

I must say for me when I am loosing money even though I can afford loosing that money without any hesitation I still feel like I should win back as soon as possible so yeah it's hard to resist no matter what we think or say.


It is amazing if someone can think like this but the fact is that we cannot think like that because the real "fun" in gambling is actually nothing but winning more and more money. That's the reason there is NO FUN in gambling with play money right?

I believe chasing losses is never a problem as long as you don't make extra deposits and bet more than you wanted to initially.

No I only feel regret because I lose my money while I could have saved it and hold the BTC.
After I lose in gambling I don't really feel the rush to get back there I just feel more uncomfortable in gambling like it isn't really for me.
After I lose it would just keep goin in my mind that I would lose more if I continue to gamble.

But, losing money should be considered as loss while trading, do we ever try to cover up loss during trading?
I don't think many of us do that because we believe in our ability to bounce back with the next trade similarly if you are gambling and you have lost some amount then you must consider your loss like a bad day and just stop betting right then.

Next day when you start betting you must make sure you are not into the negative mindset again and surely you don't want to chase your losses. If you still feel that even after a few days of pause from gambling you still feel you should chase what you lost then surely you are into Problem Gambling.

It is pretty normal for anyone to aim to recover his/her losses. Being a gambler you would want to win right? so for sure every time we/you feel the same as your question that eager to play with more money and recover your losses. But this mentality is bad, why? because this is where greediness will kick in we will rush and pressure our selves to win more which will just cause us to lose even more. You need to have full control of your emotion as a gambler.

I think we should not return to gambling soon, after losing. When you lose in gambling, you become emotional and cannot make the right decisions. If you start another game right after the loss, you might take aggressive decisions which may make you another loss. Better is quit the gambling and come back another day with a free and fresh mind. This way you will be in a better position to recover your losses.

Nope! After I lost an amount that was given as a free bonus for joining, I just believed to withdraw all my funds and started choosing another form of gambling which was lottery that I could enter without investing much. Not much luck when it comes to dice games or even betting games. Have lost more than the amount I won.

Yes and I think there is nothing wrong with it.
As a gambler we are aiming for the profit so I think it would be normal for us to feel that way when we lose.
The problem comes when you couldn't control yourself and always ends up sending money to play again.

It depends on the situation for me.

When I'm still gambling if I lose my money and I got some extra money in my pocket or my wallet, I will use it and then gamble again and the end result is still the same although there are time that I got lucky and got it back with some profits on it but most of the time I end up losing all of my money.

There are times that I feel it but most of the time, I don't have money to use in gambling so I end up not returning my losses. There is some regret in my side because of my losses but because of that, I learned how to stop gambling.

Whenever I am losing my way in gambling, and I did lose so much money , I will stop and break for awhile, in order for me to clear my mind and will ease the pain and frustrations to me, it really affects everything in me when I am not in stable emotion, so as far as I am not okay I will not yet get back what I have been lose.

And this is why we need to control everything, losing money is normal, being sad is normal and we need to have contended in our self so that we will not become greedy, because when we do, we might lose more in our game.

I feel the same because we have a lot of good topics here, not only about a certain game/s but also on the attitude in gambling.
We share problems based on our experience and how we come up with a solution to it, and that is a healthy discussion IMO, so I like this kind of topic.

I have full control of my gambling so my answers are no to all those questions but if a guy has 5 to 10 yes from all these questions, then he has issues on how he gambles and he needs professional if he has these symptoms for a long time and failed to address these issues then he will be in big trouble.

In gambling games there must be a feeling, like what you show on the screen, of course there must be, when experiencing defeat in a gambling fight.

Jumble between jitteriness and various kinds arises in the mind to do evil.
Basically every human being has common sense to consider betting again or stopping gambling.

Most gamblers would surely take the risk of getting into another bet if he or she would experience losing money towards it, I think that is so normal for a person to do, and we can call it nature for most gambler but in my opinion, I don't see everyone is doing the same,

Well, in my opinion, losses are part of winning as well you could gain experience every time you put a bet even if it is a loss or a win we are still gaining something, if not money I guess it will be an experience for someone to lose and not do the same thing again If I tend to lose a big one in gambling, I always want to forget that and rest for a couple of days before return into betting, So I tend to just bet a minimum amount so it will not be painful in losing it.

ya man, i been caught in that trap before :(  lose a bit, then feel like you ned to "make up for it"   it is a total trap tho, gambling dosent work like that
i just dont gamble now, its one of those things that you control nothing in, and can have dire consequences.    i can't take that kind of risk
plus, i have terrible luck, people with terrible luck should just not gamble generally imo
(then again, i did get into BTC when it was like 300$, so maybe my luck isnt THAT bad :P :P)

Look, those questions are considered as a reminder to all gamblers. While answering on it you can compare it to your self and probably it might be able to help you when there is something wrong about you. Most commonly answers are "yes" for me. But of course, every one of us has a different experience in gambling, because we are a human that sometimes had that feeling. Probably if you are gambler while reading the article's questions, you might be able to change your pathway in gambling if you did something wrong that might result in not being good in the future. We must look out sequences or the outcome might be happen   

It all depends on how much the session exhausted me. If I still have the strength, and my loss happened only at the very beginning of the session, then it is obvious that I will have the desire to return as soon as possible in order to win back. However, if the situation is the opposite, where I lost at the end of the session, then I would rather go out and do not even want to think about the game until the next day.

Whatever you desire to do as long as you are aware of the possible consequences you can push or quit and be back after. Gamblers who keep pushing their luck are engaging to much with this activities, it's not healthy and you have to set aside your emotion and keep yourself cool so you'll be thinking
in the right manner.

Well, that was all the basic question about our feeling of gambling. Out of 20 questions, we all experienced that as a true gambler.
Indeed, a true gambler should learn what those mistakes they encounter and perhaps they should avoid not to happen again in the future.
Even if you are in losing the moment, don't forget to have control in your self and put limitations. You will be fine always if you know how self-control works. If you lose? then, move on and get back when you fully relaxed. 

It is a reminder and there's no need to look for others experience as long as you know your position and experiences in gambling. This happens if the money you have gambled isn't yours.

You have the urgency to recover it because it's not yours and recovering is a must for you. It's funny to think that there are gamblers like that but it's a serious situation and it can cause them to lose more.

Well, In any gamble is always depends how much you have exhausted to the game, I personally always have a thought of 50/50 chance to win or loss as a gambler. And i think one don't need to be emotional when it comes to this aspect, You need to compose yourself and think positive whenever you found yourself losing. Remember losing is not the end for success, you just have to restrategise your plans and come back fully to work things out to avoid future losses.

Yes, a gambler should know how much money is good to get profit. If you see the market is not going well for you and you lose or have chances to lose then it's much better to wait and not to gamble in this bad luck. When you invest your money should have command over gambling and never gamble or bet over the exceeded amount you can afford to lose.

Only that most gambling forms are luck-based more than strategical so you can't really control the odds of you messing up altogether. But that doesn't mean you can't control how you win or how less you lose. You got to ensure that you are putting leeways for yourself at the very least. If you feel exhausted after a loss then it pretty much means that you would need to quit for the meantime even if it's still the beginning of the match. Being tired and aggravated clouds all your decision making which could then lead to mishaps and wrong moves. Altogether this causes a bad turn and a lost if it persists. So give yourself some time to rest after gambling.

I myself ensure that I only get 3 games everyday not only to preserve my mental state but to also ensure that I don't get addicted. 1 game is  more than enough to be a deciding factor if you can continue or not but I usually have my mentals intact even after a first loss. That's why I go on. But I also ensure that the 3 games are met to ensue discipline and of course as I have mentioned to endure that I don't get addicted to gambling.

There isn't a 50/50 chance, it's slightly less than that on most platforms due to the house edge.

Normally playing with the same strategy that caused you to get a loss, will only make that loss work.

So there's no point returning ASAP to bet if you're going to use the exact same strategy, since that's going to result in further losses.

That's true you need to do a lot of variations and just not confined on one I notice that when I do this my chances become higher than when I'm doing the same thing over and over again, you may be successful in a strategy or method that you picked but the house edge will catch you soon and make you pay.

Don't think it works like that. You can use the same strat 100 times but even if you're doing it with very high chances of winning, you'd still have the risk of losing at least once.

It's like going for a 0.02% win chance in a dice game - you might play with $1 and lose every time & when you switch to $0.01 you win. It's a game of chances after all.

I doubt there's even the need of an AI learning your strategy to make you lose more often.. the game itself is addictive and the house has an edge, so the chances of it losing anything are pretty low.

Realistically, there's no difference between employing a method, and just switching it up ever time.

You can only win in the short term, so use that to your advantage, and take your profits while up.

I think it is difficult for the thought of 50/50 because once you in gambling, that percentage will change, and the new percentage will 10/90, which 90 will be for the house. Calm down in the gambling games will be needed because if we can think clearly, we can control ourselves. And if you lose in some gambling games, it is better to stop and leave the gambling games while you still have time to leave and don't ever think to continue the games. Your chance will reduce because your mind will think about how to get your money back, and you can lose your control in the gambling.

I also experience trying to get back all of my losses as soon as possible because it is very hard for me not to win a single penny on my pocket. But to be honest, trying to win back all of your losses will lead you to lose more money that you don't have any luck to win back all of those losses, that is why it is much better to stop playing whenever you are experience losing a huge amount of money than trying to play again.

Yeah always feel the same thing when I lose in certain gambling. When I lose I am having bit of rush to go back again to the gambling place and try to win back my loses.

I know its bit hard to claim or win it back but the bigger your loses the urge or pressure increases too that lead to addiction.


How can you leave if the pressure on my mind to got revenge is huge? Yes gambling also need patience and soemtime that patience gone when your money loss has been so big already and the chance of winning back becoming little. Hard fact but this is the truth. Gambling really pul people into an abyss of no way going out.

It's a normal feeling for any gambler because no one wants to lose , so at every loss , you try to make sure you win back your money. This most times usually leads to more losses. Because you are under tension and very anxious of winning back your money. Winnings mostly don't come under pressure.

I don't have yes and feeling on all those questions so I can safely say that I'm gambling on a safe side and that's good to know that I am gambling in a safe way, the only way that you can deal with gambling in a compulsive way is to have a good and strong character it must be nurtured in your younger years and a good family interaction and relationship.

Didn't participate unfortunately. Wished I saw what the site's owner/owners, researchers or bots comments suggest. I guess their conclusions should be based on well researched, factual/honest materials. That could end up helping addicted gamblers and probably help prevent others from becoming addicted.

Yes, Sometimes regrets is the one keeping you on playing a gambling game, Regrets can be a possible variable on losing a game. The only thing is you should not play if you have anything that disturbs your emotions like the tension or the pressure you have when you are aiming to get back your losses.

This is normal for every newbie in gambling and also those addicted might always do the same but for experienced and knowledgeable gambler?
Nope this is not applicable because the eager you win back the losses are the more chances we are losing again and this is already proven upon my experiences.
Those are the days that i am still engaging more in gambling and yes,this is a stupid way of treating gambling guys so better prevent yourself from doing such.
Better if we lose now?tAke some rest for at least days or more before trying to win again ,

I'm on the opposite if I am losing in the beginning of the game, I have the inclination to call it the day because I can sense that this is not going to be my lucky night, the first 10 rolls is very important I must have a good win ratio to be able to continue, if I have lower than 40% I just call it a day, but rarely happens I always have 70% in the opening.

Gamblers would more likely go back right away to regain their loss. But that is simply frustration and greed. It would be better to rest for a while or return the other day in order to calm your feelings down that would affect your decisions while playing. Do not let your feelings affect you as you gamble because it would more likely result to bigger loss. It has something to do with "not your day" to gamble phrase.
Although it does not happen all the time, but luck is the main thing in gambling. The problem is that not all people are lucky enough to be able to make a comeback after a huge loss.
Being emotional cannot be avoided because you have lost something. What we should give focus is how will you act after a loss or how will you mage the loss.

Yes, the hole keeps getting bigger and bigger as you try covering the hole each day. It's like you had a 0.01 BTC hole initially and you are digging it deeper by another 0.01 in hope of getting the earlier 0.01 lost and for some people they might actually win and cover their hole but then they will get greedy and dig a new hole very soon ;D.

Yes, resetting is important because you must be aware that if things are not working for you and you are just loosing then there is no reason you will win if you bet more. As a routine gambler I do understand the urge we feel for gambling more to cover up the losses but the option way is just control yourself and stop for those days immediately.

Then you should release your feeling, so you don't have revenge and come back to playing gambling. When you have that passion, I think you will want to go back over and over, and you want to recover your losses. You know that recovering the losses in gambling will not easy, and if you lose control over your body and mind, then you will lose everything you have. That is the fact, and we should try not to lose control of gambling so we can get out of gambling before we lose so much money.

I saw so many questions on this site, that honestly I didn't answer any. In my case I am in the world of sports betting for fun, of course in this process I make money. But I put it in my head that I am in this world of gambling for fun, when I lose I am not angry because it is part of the game. Maybe it is because as I did not create expectations of winning a lot of money with gamble, losing does not affect me psychologically

Awareness reset is needed to avoid a very likely next loss and not to increase money losses. Of course, this is very difficult and many people make the mistake even in such a way that they place larger bets to regain the loss faster. Unfortunately, it usually ends up by multiplying the loss.

That is why budget planning is very important. Even before starting playing we should determine what loss is acceptable, and at what level we definitely have to end the game. If someone adheres to this rule, he will definitely avoid many problems and above all, he can avoid many large losses.

It is natural to feel that way, especially when you have lost a big amount of money in gambling but, it is better to consider the important things that might get affected when you make a decision to play again and risk your stakes. I think, it is a natural instinct of humans on wanting to win back opportunities we have lost not only in gambling but, it could also be applied in our daily lives. When I lost in some simple gambling, I would always think of the things that is more important than waging my assets and more often I would decide to stop. I think, when we lose we tend to be more focused in that area and often exclude other important things than it such as in gambling.

Yes, and I think it is only natural for every gamblers.
Especially to those addicted fellow gamblers. I have this feeling of I need to win back my losses from my previous game. I always go after that winning even if I lose more than I imagine. This is the feeling that is really hard to fight if you are really into gambling.

for those who are addicted in gambling  . they will comeback , small or big losses  .

there are also people like me that are not addicted but sometimes i have this bad feeling that i got stressed out when i loose  . it can be loss on other things and not just by gambling that i cant accept , resulting for me to try again and again until i got contented or i until i have nothing to bet on if this happens on gambling   .  

I feel the opposite, like suppose you had a streak of reds today what is more likely next according to the law of averages another red streak or a green/winning streak? Its a winning streak and I feel like if you stop just after you lost then you will probably feel within yourself like a winning streak was on it's way and I missed it.

Not really I see any problem, suppose I have deposited 10 mBTC and I have lost 6 of it and now I see no problem trying to chase the lost 6 mbtc and if I loose the remaining 4 then obviously I deposited all the 10 mBTC because I don't mind too much loosing all of them while every mBTC is precious and I want to grab it back!

It sums up everything that the gambler is doing and feeling so far all my answer are no because I'm not gambling for money alone, I do have some methods and sometimes gambling long hours on weekend but so far I'm not feeling all these after gambling or before gambling, I'm ok on how I gamble.

When you are not a compulsive gambling, you'll be able to think clear and make the right decision but for people with problem on self control, they'll gamble more when they loses as they think everytime they gamble, they should win, which is a big mistake and a wrong mentality.

I'll be back but not to get back my loses but to play again but this time i'll be more careful and have clearly mind, for no need to play regularly just to win back your loses because possible if you continue to bet then until you lose again. Play if youre ready because if not possible you end up losing, also have discipline to be able to set, and achieve, goals better.

Thinking logic will help you from another losing in gambling games because you can think that if you continue playing gambling, you will not have a bigger chance to win. You can save your money for another day when you want to play gambling because you don't use all of your money in one-time playing. But it is normal for want to win back your losses, but we need to realize that no matter if you come back to the gambling games, it doesn't help you to get a chance to win.

One will always have such mind because we are all human and no one want to lose his or her money easily without not having a mind that you have to get your money back and probably make more profit. But this is a mind set of losing more of your money because at that time you won't be able to make an informed gambling decision.

It will depends on your mindset already. If your mind is saying that if you lose, you must make a revenge after losing then that will be the one you are doing.
You have set your mind already that if you lose, you will try anything just to get your money back. I can't blame you if that is your mindset but you must know the consequences of it.

Instead of doing revenge gambling after losing, why don't you just try to calm yourself, hang with other people just to release your stress, pressure (like you said) and regret. Doing revenge gambling will give you nothing but another regret. No way going out? It depends on the gambler. Some can go out to the "abyss" that you said with proper help of other people.

Player are different thinking but I think in this case we are same because if we lost money today when we play gambling and once you play again for the next time you play your thinking about they are high possibility that you win but it is actually wrong because we don't know if we are going to happen we are thinking about what we want to happen or are desire.

Most of the time this is the cause why the gamblers lost a huge money because of that thinking or mindset to recover their losses but it depends to the perspective of the players what they think is true.

After losing bitcoin in casinos, I regret that I gamble my money online thinking that "What if I just use it in my own needs or wants like food or clothes" Though after how many days wanna gamble again and hoping to win again.

But that desire to play again will cause losing.  I'm trying to stop myself to prevent more loss.

Of course not because I know the consequence when I do gambling, I'm going back because I want to play again. When you lose it makes you to become more that we need to work harder. It allows us to make adjustments in the way and in which we train and practice. In a lose we are able to identify our weaknesses that need to improve.

You are absolutely right. To win a long distance, we need to keep everything under control, including our emotions and thoughts. However, it is much more difficult to determine the moment when we lose control due to emotional stress. Often, many people simply ignore the fact that as a result of a major loss or a series of minor defeats, they have an irresistible desire to recoup. To continue the game in this state, a person can justify himself as he pleases.

Thats true, in the end we have this feeling of guilt and regrets for losing our money and thinking what if we didnt spend it in gambling but instead use it to buy food, that would be satisfying. Well its a human nature to feel that way but after few days and we recover already, its tempting to gamble again. Im not chasing back my losses because I know its not possible but I do gamble again if im in the mood to do so.

I admittedly used to want to recoup my losses as soon as they came, but a few bad experiences I've had as a result of my actions has made me much more cautious while gambling. It's a very hard feeling to fight, especially when you lose a decent-sized sum of money while gambling, but if you start wanting to 'win back' your losses after they happen, you're probably putting too much money into gambling and you should consider other activities if possible or even simply lowering the amount of money you're gambling. Deposit a set amount of money into your casino accounts every week or whenever you tend to deposit money into casinos, and try your hardest not to go past that amount. If you win, spend some of the winnings on something nice. Don't keep gambling.

You must get over those feelings as they are not healthy, those that think like that are looking at gambling as a way to make money over the long term and that is not the right approach to gambling, you need to look at gambling the same way that you look at any entertainment activity in which you spend some money, will you try to recover the money you spent when you went to the movie theatre? If the answer is no then why you are trying to recover what you spent gambling?

I certainly do feel that its come-back time and re-try my luck but when it clearly goes against all my hopes there comes a point whereby looking at the current balance I must either win this last time or stop playing before going broke. It's a tough call, everyone has to make

Definitely no and I am sure that I will go back someday to get back my money...that is usually I did.
It was truly a sad feeling when you lose in gambling and it comes into our mind to play again. But somehow, this thinking maybe brought a bad thing to us also. Because we are not sure if we could win back next play or we lose either. And the worse thing if we double our losses...

Indeed. We may lose again once we came back if we are doing the same thing. It is right to not spent all the time and money for the rest of the day if you already experiencing a constant losing streak. Take a pause for a while and come back the other day, maybe that time is your not lucky day.

The worst thing that we get if we come back to return our losses is we can lose the money again. Sometimes the losses will be bigger than we can think. The feeling to come back will be in our mind because sometimes we want to take revenge because of our losses. But if we can think clear that if somehow we lose in the gambling games, maybe we should take a break for a while, and take a deep breath and realize, that playing gambling will give the result to win or lose.

Take time to rest your mind and not to carry by your emotions, you'll lose more once you keep pushing harder. The value of managing your money and keeping you away from making bigger mistake. Try to relax and don't force everything, the money that you'll be saving can be used as a good bankroll the following day you gamble again.

Yes there's this feeling of being defeated and most of us want to fight it by coming back and winning your money back. It's the same feeling when you lose a game, any game like chess or some computer game and want to try again thinking that now you know how to do it and you won't leave it like that with jus 1:0. In our mints 2:1 is always better than 1:0 because you didn't go down without a fight.

I try not to come back but the feeling is strong :)

I have been in such situations. I think the best way to combat such instances is to simply stop playing/gambling at that particular time. Judging from opinions of others as well as my personal experience, if you decide to keep going, your losses will keep piling up because at that point, you've become a desperate gambler and it will only get worse. In gambling, controlling one's emotion is key. This isn't one sided though. Whether you're winning or losing, it is necessary to keep your emotions under control when gambling. If that's done, stopping shouldn't be much of a problem. Losses are a thing, even the most successful gamblers lose too.

this is hard for me .  its feel totally uncomfortable once my balance drop down when i gamble so stopping is not my game but instead of stopping i will keep on betting in the hopes that i can hit big  . sometimes i can make an epic comeback where i win contiuosly up to the point that i recover my balance but i forgot that im still a degen so i keep on pushing in the hopes of winning again but nah , ill still loose up to the point of no return  . thats the only time i stop , i dont return asap because how i can i return when im already broke  ?

This is a very dangerous idea. If you return all the time (to the place where the chances of winning are less than the chances of losing), then you may find yourself in a situation where you have no money left to recoup.
This is a counterproductive idea, even if we consider it from a formal point of view: for what reason do you think that you can recoup? The rules have changed and your chances of winning increased? Have you found a way to "trick" math? What exactly has changed?
To honestly answer these questions, it becomes obvious: there are no rational reasons to act in this way.

That's true we should not chase our loss because in this will many times people make even more lose. If you feel that in gambling your luck is not good and you are not winning then just leave it aside and stay quite. Those who gamble again even after losing just to recover the previous lose so it will make you poor gradually.

You do not have to come to that point, in fact if you are facing that decision in a regular basis then you are doing something wrong, it is important to calculate way ahead of time how much money and time you are willing to spend gambling and once that limit is reached then you need to stop immediately, this is going to create in you some self discipline and eventually you will be able to gamble without any risk of wasting too much time or money, while you may think this is too limiting in fact this is very liberating since you know you can gamble without any big risk to you or your finances.

Not necessarily. If I'm a loser within that day, I'll gladly accept that because it's the right thing to do if you're dealing with losses. Getting them back through how? gambling again? won't solve anything unless you have been calm and ready for another defeat or to take wins.
How many times did we learned and experience that if we're too quick in recovering our losses, the chance of losing more than what we can afford is high too.

Yes once I got lose I want to return immediately because I want to win and I want to return my losses. I've been experienced this once because I lose big then after ward I went back to house then get money and return to gamble again because I want to return my loses but instead of returning the losses I always got lose.

i think this is about attitude or personality of each person,this is more like eagerness and having no control of himself.
imagine you already lose and know that Luck was not on your side but still wanted to return to win back?

nope i am not like this at any chance and will never be one,if even i lose now?i think it will take days before i gamble again(not unless there are friends asked me to join them)

There is a different kind of persons, It's just it is bad when it reflects on your gambling play style negatively like this. Being out of control of yourself can make your situation go dire.
A deep realization about your failures can make you a positive person, We can't blame them from their failures but it can possibly help them in the future, That's what I learn from countless gambling fails that I've experienced before. This is why I have such control powers into myself today. I've been that kind of person but I change for the good of my sake.

Yes all the time, when we lose something important we might felt some kind of emotion to get it back that's why. It's better not gamble with money you may need in the future because you tend to be very emotional that clouds your judgement even after having a losing streak. So the end result, is you tend to loss more or get bankrupt.

Be careful if you decide to return to win back your losses because you know that you don't have a big chance to win in the next games. I think you can be wise to accept the losses and don't come back on that day because I think you need to calm down first to see your losses. If you still come back to that games, you can get more losses because we don't know if we will have luck in the next games or not, so it is better to take care of our money to be used in the next days.

There's a need for you to control emotions, knowing that you still got money to deposit attracts your emotions to proceed and playback, but since aggressiveness already inside you, the chance of winning back is slimmer as you are trying to rush things out to recover.
You need to forget about everything after losing your money in order not to lose more of your savings.

i can feel this mate,because when i am still active in gambling?i felt like everytime i am losing there is part of me that wanted to return int able and gamble again,something like there are Positive thoughts coming from my other mind that dictates "Come back and you will win after" but what happens/i am continuously losing so for me?better people avoid doing such because it will only made you desperate most of the time.

Yes, and most of the gamblers have this feeling.
From my experience, every time I lost from gambling, I always feel like the need for taking back all of my losses right away.
But instead of taking it back and making a profit, I always end up losing more.
Then I realized that this is not the right thing to do, chasing your losses is not the thing we should do, it is something that gamblers should be avoided to have more losses than we currently have.

Sometimes although we regret the wrong decision that we go with our emotion but there are always times that we do the same mistake again.
Learning discipline is really hard if you are weak emotionally although you are good in thinking because if you are weak emotionally, that would dictate you in gambling and will ruin your game plan, it's about execution and it should be your mind that should be follow.

It is basic human psychology, which is why casinos do not want to attrach sociopaths who do not feel this emotion, instead, they want to attract guys like us who have emotions and want to win back what we lost. I think there is even a name for it but I cannot recall the term,,, something to do with the feeling that we already lost something, so to lose a bit more is better than to not try to win it all back.

When I lose money from gambling it happens to me of having the urge to win back loses. But, since no funds already the realization comes that I should have self control when playing into gambling and just play in moderation. Better we should think more before making decisions because when returning to play the chance to have a big lose. The very important is never gamble if we cannot afford to lose.

No gambler would like to lose their control in gambling, but sometimes we can't execute the proper action in gambling because we are easily attach with our emotion in gambling, usually, people that are emotional tend to make mistakes in gambling as they are not strong enough to make the right decision.

They will be greedy when winning, and more greedy when they are in a losing situation as they won't stop with a lose.

If we like to last in gambling, we should always think of tomorrow.

That's true, gamblers often lose their control and overcome by their emotion that becomes the reason why we initiate an action that was made by immidiate decision.
The reason why gamblers becoming greedy is because they are after for taking their losses back, they always try to get it back until they lose again. 

Common situation thats why this gambling industry is very profitable due to this behavior of most gamblers.They do act accordingly on whats up to their minds basing into their emotions.
We know that human being do really hate up on losing money and when the time comes where someone do experience losing streaks then this is the time where these behavior comes out.
Impulsive and making foolish decisions towards gambling which in result to more mess if you are unlucky.Chasing losses shouldnt really be done by all gamblers, once you commit losses then
treat or call it as a day then completely stop.

Some gamblers did it, especially newbies/beginners. They have weak self-control and easy to lose all funds shortly. Noted that never make any decisions based on emotion! It just endangers you and probably to end your journey on gambling too early. 

This is a common mistake and many did it repeatedly. But experienced gamblers shouldn't do this. They must know about it very well because of learning from their experiences in gambling. And smart gamblers must know that "greedy" is always ended with losses.   

This is the reason why many gamblers are feeling the heat when they lose because the money they used for gambling is the money they actually need for buying something. This practice and mindset much be changed so that incidents like this might decrease in the future.

Too much confidence and positivity also leads some of us into this situation. That's why you need to moderate it and ask yourself first before gambling, questions like, "what if I lose? will I recover it quickly and what if another lose comes?" something like before proceeding.

Very few gamblers have clear objectives when they start to gamble. But since I am a small time player, I don't have the urge to go back in gambling just to recover my losses. If you treat your gambling money as unrecoverable or something that you don't own anymore, you will not go back to gambling immediately. But if that money was borrowed or to be used for basic necessities, I guess, that's the reason most gamblers go back into gambling hoping that they will recover that money. And guess, it's not that case.

Not really, I guess because pro gamblers can also have that feeling, especially for people who have big expectations to get the win after they lose. But still, it is difficult for every gambler if they decide to come back as soon as possible to win back their losses. They need to remind that winning in the gambling games will not easy as they think so they don't have to come back and try to win the losses.


You are right. When we have greediness, that will make us get more losses because greediness is a feeling that wants to get more, but we don't know how big our chance to get it. We can stop gambling if we think that is enough to playing gambling.

Being greedy means you have no discipline as a gambler and we know that even if a gambler wins now or tomorrow, he will still lose in the long run if he is greedy, once a gambler is greedy he will always expect a win and would not stop, quit and accept loses, that would put them in bigger risk.

Everyone of us wants to win, but we should be realistic all the time and as long as we understand that losing is possible, we should accept when we lose.

There are times that I felt greedy and I want to get back my losses but there is only one result to it and we know it already.

Being greedy most of the time in gambling leads  to further loss of money. If you think like this, this only shows that you are not a responsible gambler and you can't control yourself. It would be better if you will just stop gambling after losing especially if you lose a huge amount than getting another funds again just to try your luck again and regain your money.

You will not go back if you are too easy to accept that you have lost your money as you gamble. That's fine and okay as a feeling because everyone who gamble will go through into that process. And it's battle between you and your emotion/ego.

If you can't accept losing, you'll go back no matter how much you have lost. As you have said, if the money you used isn't yours or it's a fund to be used for better, you really have to retrieve it.

Correct. Greediness will lead us to more losses because the chance to win is always small. That's why some people prefer to stop when they already won it. I think this is the right way as if you continue to play more, contrarily your chance to lose will be higher. No guarantee to win even if you make many attempts!

No guarantee to win that's why we need to sink it on our minds that we play for fun not for profit since if we Chase those wins we will suffer the counter clock wise of it and turn lose and we should not gamble the last money we have and always will the extra so that we will not get broke for the next days.

It'a given already so if you want to won then create a business since if you are the house you have the chance to win.

Some gamblers will continue to playing gambling to chase other winning, and he never realizes that it only gives the money to the casino. What he wants is making more winning with the money, and even he still risks his win money to get more money. When he loses, he will still try to playing one or two rounds to see his luck. Maybe when he loses gambling, he should stop gambling. Otherwise, he will get another loss in the next round.


Stop when we win is the best thing that we can do to prevent another loses. We don't know if in the next round we can win again or not, so it can help us to keep the win money while we can also prevent the loss. Stop gambling when we can be another solution for us to stay away from the next to lose, and that will be a good lesson for every gambler.

I have issues with those that have that kind of view, when you gamble you are paying for entertainment in the same way that you pay to see a movie or pay for a video game so I do not see where people get the idea to get their money back, if you gamble that money away then you should see that money as gone from the very beginning, this way you will only bet what you can actually afford to lose and you will have no temptation to try to recover it by gambling some more.

The difference here when you do compare those amounts used in gambling and watching movie and stuff which is on the actual or total amount.It cant really be avoided for people not to think about on making money yet they know that gambling and treating it that way wont really be that easy.There would always that kind of impression on where you do always look for making money by winning.This is the main mistake which people shouldnt really be tolerated because these kind of aims will really put you in hard.Dont chase losses and as said when you do play gambling then think it up that those amounts is already gone and dont expect for some return and just enjoy the game.

It always happens to me too, so maybe it is pretty natural after all. After losing emotion of us is taking over us, mixed frustration and the desire of revenge. But I'm lucky enough that I can control myself coz others can't ans leas to some compulsive disorder. The temptation to get our money back after losing is natural as a human, we tend not to accept it instantly after losing.

It's pretty correct. That's why we need to make a plan before we gamble to minimize the feeling. One of the possible things to do is to limit the amount of money. Never gamble with all your funds, use the extra money only. So, even if you lose, it is not in a big amount of money. Then, you won't think too much about it.

Yes, you are lucky. You must maintain this good nature. Having good self-control will be very helpful to avoid greedy or emotion in gambling. Most gamblers get severe losses because of unable to control their selves. But you can handle it, means you are a smart & strong gambler.       

The revenge feeling is the worst thing happened in gambling session way back in 2018, I have learnt these lessons in a hard way, unfortunately. After losing the 20% of bankroll, that frustration tempts us to make a few more bets in order to reach the break-even point but it goes deeper until the session results wipe the balance. Human nature is the specific path for the same consequences happened over and over.

Just keep the emotion because many players faiked because they are apply their emotiok before and after playing gambling. Like when they losing money they habe mind that they need to get back again what they lost so the effect they play again and another lost will happen to them.

It is but natural to feel that way and that's the temptation to lose control and a step to become a compulsive gambler, one of the habit and motivation that you need to develop is to let go when it's time to let go whether you are winning or losing, some gamblers problem arises when they do not know when to stop, they keep hoping.

I felt it. Many times already when the time that I really want to gamble everyday and every time I lose, my body and mind tells me that I should go back again and gamble to win back my losses.

I have experienced it but fortunately, I learned how to stop myself from thinking like that because if I continue doing that I will be addicted at one time and it will be hard for me to stop anymore. I know that some of the gamblers here have experienced it too but unfortunately for them, they got addicted already and they will do any way that they can just to get back their losses if they lose.

Doing revenge gambling is a very bad move but a gambler especially an addicted one will gamble and gamble until they don't have money left.

Yes, that is natural happen to you and other gamblers too. As long as we can control the emotion, and we can prevent frustration, I think we can prevent ourselves from coming back to win back our losses. We have to realize that in gambling, everything can happen, and we need to prepare the worse thing that might happen to us. You are lucky because you can control yourself whenever you win or lose, so you don't have to worry about the loss because you don't think that playing gambling can help you to make money.  

now, here is the thing: is it possible to control emotions?
it's defnitely possible to control reactions, but not sure if emotions.

in any way: meditation and discipline helps a ton.

That is a good point. You can't control not feeling sad, angry, happy or afraid. All that is in human nature. But you can and you should control how you react and what you do in those situations.
It is up to you to decide if you will cry when you are sad, hit someone when you are angry, or gamble harder to prove a point or out of anger.

Yeah it is a very natural feeling and almost all gamblers went to the same feeling.

We want to take back our losses as much as possible but to those who have tried it, only few succeeded with it. Letting go of the losses for that moment will make you become relax but as soon as you realize that you want it back.

You will think of it to quickly win it back.

It is possible. Controlling emotion will be possible but will depend on how you can control yourself. Not just in gambling, I guess, but in another field too. Imagine you feel angry because of one thing, and if you can handle yourself and can calm down in the next minute, then you can control your body and mind. Doing meditation and discipline will help you to control yourself. You need to search for yourself how to control yourself.

I think we feel the same, when loss must take revenge and when get profit should get bigger next day, that's human can't deny. Loss create panic and emotion this situation will make you create bad decision, specially about your financial. Every gambler need rest time to evaluate his method, if enough they should stop, the key is disciplines.

Certainly I feel the same way whenever I'm losing in gambling however everytime it also happens, I tend to stop myself from trying to recover my loss the same day I cause that to happen. Most likely if I urge to get back what I've loss, I'll lose more and my control wouldn't be managable the same way as I do when I just started gambling earlier. It's a good practice to just keep yourself from gambling after losing then go back on the nezt day for a better mindset and control.

Many of us feel the same, but not all of us come back because of our losses, and some of us stop playing gambling because we know that does not give a chance to win. I agree that we need to break for some time so we can manage ourselves, we need to reduce the tension inside us, so when we come back, we don't think to recover the losses, but we can play the games and have fun.

If we can always do that, we don't need to chase the win and recover the money that we already lost. Losing the money in gambling is what we need to pay, and we should realize that we don't need to try to get it back.

Big upsets happened again in last nights games.

Minnesota beat the Pelicans, they were +11
Brooklyn Nets beat the Celtics, they were +6.5
GS warriors beat the Nuggets, they were +16, and Warriors won by 16 points, wow!

             No mattet how proficient your skills are, there is no guarantee you will win back all your losses. The probability of losing more than you win by taking revenge matches is greater than 50%. Using some unorthodox strategies to win gambling is okay, but you need to step back sometimes and sort yourself out before continuing. I'd rather not overplay gamble than losing more than what i have intended to lose.

If this is your mindset I think you will lose more always because this mindset is greedy. Much better to accept your losses and stay calm always especially when you gamble again so that you will recover your loses and win again. Because if you always think that you will win when you play gambling again this will distract you and you can't do your strategy because of this.

You are right. I don't try to overplay it too because I already got a bad experience before in the past. I don't want to get the same things for now. I am trying to calm down myself whenever I get lost, and I don't try to return in the games because that can give me more losses. Taking revenge matches will only give big losses, and that can give us a sad, more profound. When you don't want to get bigger losses, then you should stop gambling, and don't try to recover your money if the situations are not good.

I think this is not good mindset because gambling don't have strategy you gamble money to be luck that's why accept when you lose and play again if you feel you are lucky. And don't always think that you will recover your losses and win because that will give you disappointment only.

Every player has his own perspectives when it comes to gambling. Sometimes the pressure of playing again after losing is always there because we have the urge to win back our losses. Unless, you don't have money to play again. But deep inside in our minds, if we can get back that money, we will stop. I guess, that's human nature. But in actual scenario, winning is not always a thing so we have to accept that we will lose more often because we are talking gambling here.

Yeah, the pressure will always be there, it is called gambler's psychology, but also this is apparent in humans throughout history, whether or not it is on the casino table, we always gamble with decisions. Trading especially demonstrates this. You keep losing, and you feel that you have to earn back the money and you cannot possibly lose more right?

But you do!

At first yes, the pressure to cover the loss is always strong. However, it's very important to overcome that urge because that could lead you only to even bigger loss and soon you find yourself in a closed circle.
It's better to cool down the head and start again, it's the question of self control. You'll get money with time, not instantly.

If you're a big time gambler and you lose big in one shot it is probably yes. Ofcourse the eargerness is there especially if you stick on your pride. You don't want to just let go of your money, you don't want to tell your friends that you lose because they will laugh at you. But if you only lose what you can afford to lose, maybe you'll just let go and just say "I'm giving it to them"

Before I always do that hoping to get back what I lose for that day but suddenly I realize that this is wrong since I repeatedly lose when betting on second time around, that's why now I bet depends on my mode and let the day pass if luck is not on my side.

Yes, when we can accept the loss and trying to get out of the gambling places, we will know that what we did is worth it because we don't have to feel another loss. Many people don't realize that, and that makes them continue to win back the losses which they cannot always get. Recover your losses is okay, but you should know and have a limit before you see all of your money is gone. It is better to stop while we still have a chance than trying to recover the losses.

Good thing that you realized it, the kind of actions when you already lose your day and bet back mostly suffered more. Taking a break and forget about your losses will bring you much better overview of your next game plans.
Emotions needs being controlled it gives you higher chances to minimize everything, don't believe that you'll be able to recover back if you'll try to
push more, think that there's always tomorrow that might be your lucky day.

in this case  I remember the golden rule:
always take a break after a big win or a big loss.

helps the ideas to come back to their correct places.

really useful

With just a few losses and similar experiences, I believe most people will realize our capital ratio can return to near zero, in other words, we will only continue to lose more if we try to regain the loss but usually, very few people will accept and give up, even if they know they will continue to lose but with the vague opportunity right before their eyes, they will still return immediately as long as they have money. Loss is hard to come back but casinos always create fake hope, stimulating the nature of a player

If you have this feeling then you cannot control yourself, you are the kind that will go all out and will not stop until the last funds were lost,
this is a dangerous feeling if you cannot control it, you will get trap playing nonstop daily, you need to know how to stop and when to stop
or you will get yourself in big trouble.

As what I've remember yeah I think I do but it was before when the time I used to play.
i think this is one of the reason why everyone falls into addiction, they tend to retieve what they have lost not knowing that it will just worsen the situation or simply increase the amount of your loss.
There's a less chance of someone to get back what his loss and even if you win once you still the loser because the amount of your win is less than the amountr of what you have lost.

If that is the case then those people are betting too much money, gambling should only be seen as a form of entertainment and nothing more, when you look at gambling at that way you can get a lot of fun with very little money, most bitcoin casinos allow you to gamble with very low amounts of money you can play for hours and still obtain a lot of fun and not use a lot of money, anyone that is using more money than that should think again since there is now way to keep gambling for long when you are using an important part of your capital to gamble.

Quite a bit but I stopped that bad habit. Yes, bad habit 'cause it might lead to worse cases if I stay still with such habits. And in addition it is a non-stop cycle, because either you win or you lose if you feel the urge of wanted to play more win or loses doesn't serve one thing on your table. IMO, it just an excuse to spend more, to play more, to waste more. Anyway with bad habits like that, and an unorganize mindset it will bring you to more branch worst-case scenario. Better yet be aware of your wrong doings till it becomes too late before you notice that you mess up.

Even if you have those feeling, you must control yourself, don't let that feeling makes you come back and try to win back your losses because that will lead to another loss. You need to realize that it will be okay if you can take a break after you got to lose because that is necessary to do that to prevent spending more money. We need to know that is what will happen in the gambling games, lose or win is something that we should get. If you win, just quit as soon as possible. If you lose, don't even think back to the games because you don't know how big your losses after that.

Definitely, it's better to be wise than wait until we experience and learn from our mistakes.
We don't need to experience ruining our life before we learn, we need to be matured and educated to see the possible risk and manage that risk.

going back because we loss is a sign of immaturity, that is clearly out of our game plan if we have one, it should not happen and should be avoided with proper self control.

but thats the way we will face if we dont consider controlling our self right?and many Addicted gamblers missed this part that is why they are becoming a victim of this sudden gambling mistakes.
and that immaturity will lead us back in table again even how big we have already lose?because of lack in experiences but as days goes by?for sure we will learn and from our past mistakes and not coming back after losing.

Having that emotion's will lose you much higher amount in the next more game. Calm your self before playing again dont think about winning ut back when you lost since that is a bad idea you can have by playing. Just play as normal without thinking to win large amount from your lost.

I think the reason here is not only human nature but also our initial attitude to the means that we take with us for gambling.
We are suffering and upset about lost money because we were not ready to part with the money that we used for gambling.

Therefore, it is extremely important before you start playing to realize in your head that the money that you take with you is no longer yours, regardless of whether you win or lose.
You must take them with the understanding that you do not care whether you lose them or not, only then you will not regret the loss and you can continue to play with a cold head.

Some of the questions that you shared on us are not all related to me. As a gambler, of course, I want to win in every gambling sites and don’t want to lose anymore. But it is impossible because we are not sure if we win in every gambling that we played. And it’s nothing wrong if we want to get back our funds, but if we want to get back it is not really sure again if we truly recovered out loss assets. If you experiencing the same situation again and again it is quite sure if you rest in playing gambling first because if not you’ll damage your savings. So that it’s better to rest first before it is too late. 

As a gambler, we must be able to stand firm and control our emotions either the situation is a win/win or lose/lose.

Why ? After winning, if you get too excitedm you will rush into stakes, and get rekt back to square one.
If you lose a stake, and got upset and desperate to recover your stakes, you could get further rekt which is definitely unhealthy.

Peradventure you always rush into gambles and got lucky and won, retrace your steps so you can steer clear of avoidable losses.

It's normal to feel that way since you are still hot headed or maybe mad after lossing but for most of the time, I still follow the conditions i've set. I prefer taking a break and just come back tomorrow. Like win or lost, once quota has been reached gonna wait for tomorrow. It's kinda better since my emotion has calm down already and has a fresher mindset because I know if I'm gonna comeback right away after I lose, things will get even worst because of emotion.
