I guess this would have happened with the most of us ain't it ?

The other day I lost a few $ gambling on Roobet. My luck was so bad that day that when I thought of gambling a little more so that I recover the lost funds I lost more than 3 times the amount I lost earlier  ;D ;D Eventually I just quit the game and didn't play it again for 2 days. This is too obvious for any gambler and everyone can relate to this feeling.

What you guys do when such a thing happen with you ?

P.S : I did play the game again after a few days and recovered some of the $. But this time I quit the game while I was in profit.  :P

P.P.S : I was conscious while I was trying to recover the lost funds and I tried only till that point where I can't afford to lose anymore. I always keep in mind the amount that I can afford to lose.

Forget it buddy, playing more in gambling will let you lose more as what you had experience.

It is because that casino is a business for those who created it and they need no luck just to earn profit. They need you to play more by letting you lose more so that you will want to recover like what you did. You stood no chance winning against the casino in the long run. This is why my piece of advise is to play casino or any gambling for only fun and excitement. Losing is part of it and that is natural however you enjoyed it and that is the pay for you playing it. If you win then that is a bonus and this is the reason why we wanted to plat to get that bonus. So, next time always play at your set limit, accept loses and return home still with a smile after having some fun in playing.

I've experienced that as well in Sports betting it's true that when we lost we still wanted to recover our lost money but I realized that it was wrong if you lost accept it and forget it and try your luck again the next time you bet and if that happens do the same thing again. Usually trying to recover your losses would just lead to more losses.

Lucky you were when you have tried to play the game again. This is a very usual experience for most gamblers, we want to recover our losses and that triggers our minds that if we gamble again, we'll get our losses.

I don't do this anymore, I've learned from my and others' experience. The more you know yourself, the more that you need to be careful next time. You'll never know how much you can lose in the long run without having self-control.

I think if your target is to recover your lose fund in one game your chance of losing is high I think you should just set a specific target amount and stop try to recover it little by little not in just one run.

One of the worst feeling buddy, so I learn not to chase my losses because eventually luck will play a big factor. So if I feel that the day is not good, then I don't push it, I just learn that through experience, I will lose more. So I will control my emotions and not deposit on the same day. Will let it sit and probably go back the next day and see if my luck has chances. Regardless if it slots or sport betting, I have experience it in the past already.

I once said it in another thread on what I do whenever I am in a losing streak.

Rest man.
Forget about it for a while.
I think you should've learned this from your experience.
If you think lady luck is not on your side then stop. Try the next day. Don't let the ego win against you by trying to win it back in an instant.

I think it's normal for us gamblers, we also experience such things when we keep saying to play more, trying to get back what we lost but end up losing even more. And I think it's fine to keep trying but when it exceeds your limit or funds, that becomes a problem since when we get used to doing this, it will make us addicted that we can't control our emotions anymore.

As a gambler, even if we badly want to recover our loss, we should also know our limitations and that the more we keep on trying to recover from losses, the more we lose. When I'm in this kind of situation, I always try to take a break so ease myself.

It definitely does get your chance higher. I have seen this kinds of people and I have played with some of them. These are the types of people that you should be looking for because they are swayed easily by their emotions. Regarding a solution for this problem, when this happens to you, hopefully, it will be your wake up call to stop gambling because in the end the fun ends but the regret that follows will surely cut deep together with financial ruin.

Well, at the very least, you were able to lose an amount that was manageable. Trying to recover funds you lost in gambling is actually quite normal imo, it's like the hope of wanting to manage to even out when losing in a trade in the market, so there's actually nothing wrong with that. The wrong part starts when you start losing more than you can handle. I myself have lost more in the process of trying to break even when I was gambling, and I see nothing wrong with it tbh. I still am able to manage my funds properly, making sure that the funds I lost are ones that I can afford to lose.

I mostly just try to see if I can manage a return while staying inside the affordable amount. For example, I lost around $20, then I set a limit of around $10, that's the limit of money I would spend to try to recover the lost $20. If I lost, then that's that, I'm calling it quits, but if I won, then lucky enough I broke even.

It happened to me I was lost a few weeks ago and I transfer another fund to recover my loss, too bad luck isn't my side and ended up losing twice my lost fund. I think I should really control how I gamble since this kind of act is not smart to do I thought it's just me who experienced it it looks like i'm not alone.

It is a common story of regular gambler. I have experienced it a lot of time. Many gamblers can't control their emotion while they keep losing. Then they try to pull up their luck until they left nothing to loss at their wallet. Average amount of gambler can also recover in this way.

Mostly I take a break and try to forget about it by doing other thing, like listening to music or watching movies. And I only gamble with the money what I can afford to loss. I always try to avoid showing rage ;)

It is very common.
Always keep a plan in line , if you did loose considerably make sure that you have a back up game or games if you may. Games like :
Crash
Or skill games like : Black Jack
If you have lost a considerable amount you should realize that it's time to switch from those fun games to these ones.

Now why crash ?
- see you can make small bets and withdraw even after 3 seconds , 2 seconds , 1 second , you will still win. Be faster than the Canon , as fast as it goes you have to be alert and just withdraw fast. Keep on doing that for a long time .... See it takes time for sure but it's fool proof , even if you make small bets you will be okay in matter of 30 min-1 hour.

There are many other games like for me it's Crash , you might have a game that you are good at. The one you have some method of winning. Use them !

Plus if the loss is too serious , STOP.
Learn how to STOP.

( I do believe a good gambler is the one who understands when he needs to rest for a while. )
Control your brain , don't let it control you.

I don't think so the losses will one of the process for you to recover, playing gambling will cause two result is either you win or you lose
But I'm happy because you will get again of what you lose be happy because of what happened to your money.
I don't know why this concept goes to your mind but I think it's wrong, losing is not process for you to recover in gambling but in the fields maybe I think.

I made sure I never lose control, I've been losing in gambling but that doesn't affect me much, that is because I just gamble what I can afford to lose. I believe few dollars is alright, that means you can afford what you lose, the thing is, if you keep so emotional, you'll not only lose in gambling but in other things as well, it could be your relationship with your family and people around you because everything will be affected.

Discipline is a must, you know what I'm sayin.

I think as a gambler we must know our limits and not push it to chase our losses with emotional decisions. Chasing losses will not always end in something beautiful, which will actually make us fall deeper. When this happens then the best choice is to have a break and take the time to analyze the mistakes that caused the losses.

Recover from our gambling loss is not easy. At least to be able to recover we should clear our head first, being realistic, and must be able to control our emotions.

It happened to new gamblers and old gamblers it's something that's inherent in our gambling character to try to get back our losses, it's ok if you play what you can only afford to lose, but it will be an issue if you lose the fund that you allocated to play and add more funds to try to recover funds that you've lost, unfortunately, it's your bad day and things did not go to your plan.

There are two things that every gambler should learn and practice, only allocate funds that you can afford to lose, and control yourself not to add more even if you think that you can recover it.

 

Well, that's rarely happened. when you go back to successfully recovered your losses. Nowadays, people don't care about their losses anymore. They just want to play until there has no money left in their pocket anymore until then they will stop playing and will think of a way to get back what they've lost. Mostly they will fail to do so. You are lucky to get it back and stop playing while you still have your money.  

Agree discipline is a mus, I've seen a lot of users having great losses in gambling and trying to recover you have to discipline yourself
to control how you gamble if not you'll just ended up losing everything experienced that before.

Definitely happens to everyone on us, of course when you lose a game, you start making bad decision out of desperation to recover the initial loss but it accumulates when you loss even further, and finally end up with nothing at all.
That's why its important to take some profits then gamble the remaining which you can afford to lose

Trying to recover losses often leads to much more losses.. It sucks people up and they end up chasing losses for months, and maybe years. I made that mistake in the past; focussing to get my stats into positive numbers. At some point I just gave up and accepted my losses. Now I just try to enjoy gambling with money I can afford to lose , and the moment I make a deposit somewhere, I consider it gone, but also set profit limits, which I run with the moment it's reached.

So my advice would be: don't chase losses, consider it gone and just try your luck again next time when you can afford gambling, without thinking of previous losses. On profit: call it a day and run! ;)

It might be risky to do that but if you try to be smart maybe a low profit target and repeating again and again until recover your losses would still be great mostly trying this strategy in sports betting not quite sure if it would work on gambling as well.

Just one of those days! I am sure it happened to all of us at some point of time! We all lost and we all made money out of gambling! So I think it's better to forget about that day and never look back. I wouldn't say recovery isn't possible but it's hard at times! In this process of recovery many people ends up loosing more!

Chill and have a bottle of beer this evening! There's nothing much you can do about it!

Same here bro. Crash is my favorite game and the game which I am good at. If not good at least I can break even at it.
The other game is Dice. The amount I lost was in Dice  ;D but it's okay. I can afford to lose that amount because I believe I can recover that amount in crash.
And yeah knowing when to stop is a skill that every gambler should have. I knew I had to stop at that point so I quit the game and came back after 2 days.

I remember it on my first year in gambling I'm really aggressive in playing since it's my first time using cryptocurrency in order to bet. Sports betting, casino and others and most of the time I keep losing and what I do is to change my gambling site and try to recover on it my loss from other exchange but still bad luck is a bad luck. It's not really good to recover some loss fund.

I can relate to this feeling, and this kind of decision is good for you. I quit gambling too for a few months because I lost a good amount of bitcoin I have. You're so lucky you recovered some of the $ you lost before. Some gamblers quit gambling because they don't have funds anymore to gamble, or some of them, like me, quit gambling so that they don't lose any more.

The first is the most exciting and yet money wrecking since we will go on the process that we want to earn more money when we win by the time we play and we are so aggressive to bet without even thinking since we enjoy to much I know many experience this and as you said whenever lose streak occurs it's really hard to get what we lose.

But what most important there is we enjoy and learn some new experience.

Every gambler of course can relate with this experience. It is very normal for a losing gambler to try to recover the funds lost. In the process, the ending would either be successful which means the funds are recovered or unsuccessful which means the loss has increased instead. This is one of the psychological tendencies of gamblers that is generally in favor of casinos.

This is the reason why you need to bring a limited amount of money when going to the casino. If you bring with you a large amount while promising to spend only a portion of it inside, the tendency is that your set limit will not be followed once you are losing. You still have some money in your wallet. It is going to be a difficult battle against your natural urge to try to play more for the sake of getting back what you've lost.

your so cool because despite of the 3times loss your showing that your still happy , you put a grin face smiley  the moment you write it those words .

good thing that you only end up at 3 times lost but did you know that once you reach that point where your earger to recover that's also the time that our badluck will mostly strike and gambling site are taking advantage to us .

Your right it's a common thing that happen to all of us gamblers , me before I tried not just for the third time but I think that was already 5 for a record . good thing that we came to the point that we stop chasing the loss because if not , the more damage we are going to end up

actually quitting gambling is not necessary  because the only matter that we need is to control our gambling activities .
Let small amount be our capital when playing and stop seeking for big wins.
gambling is funny and happy to be with but if you miss handle your desire?then that is the bad part of being a gambler.
Play only when you have spare money or Allot amount for each gambling days.

I experienced it just now I was playing a while ago in yolodice and lost some amount and stop and tried to take a nap and
I can't sleep thinking that I can still recover that lose since I was thinking that the next games in the dice game would be on my side
and now I lost again try to recover it I think this could be a lesson for me, I think recovering loss Bitcoin is not good idea at all.

It really is not a good idea to continue gambling just to recover your loses as we will just end up losing our remaining money if we will not stop especially if we can say that we didn't have any good luck in that day.

As a gambler, it will be wise if we will know how to control ourselves especially in this type of situation so we can lessen our loses and maximize our winnings if we can see that we are very lucky in that day. But for gambling addict, it will be very difficult for them to do but I will be hoping that someday most of the gamblers will know when to stop in order to cut their losses.

Your judgment has been clouded by your willingness to get back your lost funds. Sometimes, determination to accomplish something is very risky, and it was shown to you firsthand by losing more money in the process.

Normally I would have called it a day and just get back to being busy on something else. I was at the point wherein losses no longer forces me to do irrational decisions since I only treat gambling as a hobby. But during those days when I still win big $ in the casino, I am just like you, wanting to breakeven 'at the least' without realizing that I'm only losing more.

This is why no attempts to recover lost funds on the casino should be made if you're already pissed. It'll just amplify your hunger and anger to win back what's lost causing you to lose even more.

Yes it happens to all of us especially when you're very excited playing and you feel this is your day but things do not go your way
you know that you should be playing more than what you can afford to lose but the urge that time is high that you cannot stop to keep on, it's natural, but should not always happen to you every time you play.

I'm glad that you recovered the funds that you've lost, or it will be disappointing, not all gamblers can recover funds they've lost immediately, it's your lucky day when you recovered it and another great experience for you.

I agree if you can control your gambling activities. I tried to control myself, still can't control it, especially when I'm losing too many streaks. I expect in the next roll that I would win, but the result is not always the same. This is the main reason I lose many funds in gambling. That's why I prefer quitting gambling for a few months. But if you prefer to continue gambling and handle or control yourself, it's good for you.

It is consider as lucky enough if ever in your first attempt in gambling you did it. For me, gambling was unpredictable and you can't tell whether in any attempts you are in you're going to have a probability of lose in each attempt. Gambling will only be exciting if ever you're lucky enough to win the game and i believe once you win a gambling ones you will be attracted to play another game again and until you have that gut feeling of yours that you're going to win, i bet this wouldn't stop one person who are gambling attracted until they experience lost.

What you've done is too risky I experienced that many times and I lose half of my savings this is the reason why I exercise control over my gambling, you cannot win if you keep on trying to get back your losses, the hardest thing is to chase your losses you must take it as it is and on every game forget your past losses.

As you mentioned this is an experience anyone who gambled will have in their story. When the cryptocurrency gambling sites started to emerge 5 years ago i too spend my time in the space and the confidence booster in the recover process stems from the fact that you were able to rake in a huge profit during the initial phase and when you end up loosing you will have the confidence to recover everything  :D.

I have busted and recovered in the past and with a dozen experiences i came to a realization that you cannot chase the loss and now i will never chase any of my loss, if i am having a good time i will reap the profit and most of the time i spend my time in sports book.

You are lucky that you recover your losses because it seldom happens that gamblers recover his losses when he comes back, it's not recommended to gamble beyond your means, we have read and heard a lot of stories about gamblers losing everything because of trying to chase his losses, the more you try the harder it gets.

Lol,,,
It's a common experience amongst most gamblers @OP. The need to recover is one of the feeling most gamblers need to kill. It's the greed master minded and a grave move. Like OP rightly said, OP lost more than three times the amount OP had lost before and for this to be a regular experience or theory it it could be regarded as a fact and very few circumstances are these facts disputed.
The need to recover and probably not play again as most persons mindset would always have it but in reality, even if you manage to recover, your still far from stopping for the day. Loosing could be really painful and as such the need to recover isn't far behind but, you only tend to loose more so, once you've lost to a extent that your motive runs from making profit on stakes to recoverying what you've lost, that's the time to stop. Don't go any further, that's greed at play.

Basically it is quite harder to think of recovering your losses than to forget that you lost and continue playing. If you target to recover when you are losing and you really lose consecutively, it will impact your emotion deeply in a sense that it could affect your life decisions. But what I think is the best thing to do is to bet knowing that you are always ready to lose that amount you've wagered so everytime you are losing, it feels like nothing but in fact, you have a hope to win the jackpot any time. That is one of the lessons I learned from the lottery, in simple words, your chance of winning will rely on how frequent you are betting.

I face the same situation like you and also how we can control our emotions when we lose in gambling, many cannot control our emotions because when we lose we are carried away by the desire to continuously make bets, even though our mental position is not very calm. Maybe when a position like that it's good to stop first or try with a bet with a nominal or smaller number, after we get the capital back, then use a large nominal. If when the betting position loses continuously and we keep placing bets, I think there is no opportunity to be able to take back our depleted capital, it is better to control how our emotions are when making bets on gambling sites.

^ Overall, that is not a good idea when chasing your losses in gambling. But OP was so lucky that he is able to recover his losses even though OP experienced almost lost everything. We could really predict what will the result of the risk that you were taken, it probably rekt your profit until it will be wiped out or you cannot recover your losses. All you have to do is guts to risk a fund that in 50/50 of situation, better to win or move on when you have lost.

Most of us does already had experienced this common scenario specially in gambling where we we do really have always those kind of thoughts when it comes to recovery.
we do think that the next bet that would be done might really be lucky and would able to break even our losses or do think to be profitable on next move which isnt something surprising
for most bettors to commit on since we are just human which is really that too emotional when it comes to these kind of circumstances which i cant blamed of.The thing here
is on how someone will able to withstand or to control up that kind of emotion which would really result into more further losses.One of the best rules in gambling is never
ever tend to chase your losses because if you do then you will surely experience even more.

This is a classic gambling mistake so do not be too hard on yourself because of this especially if the amount of money is not that high, just remember this lesson and do not make this mistake again, once you lose money to the casino you need to consider that money forever gone, if you happen to recover it during your next sessions if you are lucky then that is fine but do not chase your losses as it can lead to addiction and to lose a massive amount of money form which it will be almost impossible to recover.

if your not used to gambling , it is but if you have been gambling all of your life and you treated gambling as a normal activity , you also learn how to accept things easily .

 its hard to think of loss or how to recover it especially when you loose alot and if you dont have a money to play again but forgeting a loss is easy because you can decide to not gamble again  and you also dont put it on your head  . im not a pro gambler but ive been on this situation before , that why i know if what side to choose .

Indeed! It would really be basing up into our experience towards gambling and if you had been doing this activity for a while now then you'll surely easily accept things up and move on or just like some casual
result which do leads also into casual action which is moving on and doesnt look back if you are in loss or still in profit.People do have different approach towards gambling neither they do really mainly aim for making money
or just simply playing just for the sake of entertainment and as we all know that losses are inevitable and i agree into those points above that chasing losses isnt really always a wise idea to be made.
Instead for you to recover or break even, you will surely experience even more loss if you arent that lucky enough.

Bro I can't even remember how much money I lost on roobet roulette lmao I am getting an earing via their video review last time I was able to win $30 in roobet in a night with my $40 earning, so my balance is $70, I kept it in a day to play again, the next time I was starting very smooth I easily got $20 in less than 5 mins after hitting a gold, my balance is $90 then I fucked up. I played with martingale technique and was just betting to bronze til I got 8 silver straight. My balance was depleted due to my eagerness to recover lol though I wasn't expecting that.

I actually mentioned about the so called 'gambling cycle' that regardless of the result of your gambling round, the gambler would most likely gamble again. For example in a given round, the person loss money. The tendency is that he will most probably gamble again to recover those losses. He will continue until he has recovered such. Another theory is that once that person recovers his loss, he will most probably gamble again and try his luck since he was able to equalize his winnings/losses.

I just hope that in the future, people would know their limits and develop some sort of self-discipline. In this way, this would most likely prevent people from losing more than what they actually planned for.

Well, the good thing is you know you fucked up and how you fucked up.  At least, you know what to do next time if ever you encounter this kind of scenario.

As many replies stated, chasing losses will only lead to more losses.  So I think it is best to remember that if you want to gamble, consider your fund as already losses.  This way it will prevent you from chasing them.  Another thing, we must gamble what we can afford to lose else it will give us more regret and headache in the future.  Lastly, always plan ahead. This includes your allocated bankroll, how much you are willing to lose, and how much is your target winnings and most of all, just enjoy the game and have self-discipline.

I believe that trying to win back in most cases leads to even greater losses. All the blame is on the acquired reflexes, which we get experienced throughout life and emotions that follow the reflexes. But they must be able to completely turn off both in trading and gambling.

That's very true! Because gambling is really addictive if you don't know how to regulate your gambling activities. On my end, what I do to minimize my losses is just to allot certain amount to play with, that means I will be depositing only the money that I know I am ready to lose. So if in case I lost all in that session, I won't be depositing anymore money even if I want to play again. I'll just wait for another time that I know I can deposit again without my heavy heart on it.

What you experience while in the recovery process, in fact, will only experience more losses, experienced by all gamblers.
Therefore, don't make gambling a source of income, because the longer we play gambling, the more losses we will get.
So my advice is not to play gambling focus on looking for profit, because if like that it will end badly for you. I only play
gambling for entertainment, because for me getting profit from gambling is just a bonus.

This practiced needs time to developed inside you, since once you fully engaged to gambling controlling yourself to avoid adding more is really difficult since you suffer loses.

It's not new to any gamblers losing temper and control instead of calling the day and quit, they will keep pushing forward and add more money to lose.

You need to have good dedications for you to able to control yourself and stay in enjoying
part instead of the gambling side of the game that you love to play.

I guess you got lucky when trying to recover your losses or your losses weren't huge. I have seen most of the people that tried to recover their loss and in the processes ended up losing even more! Good thing you are now taking a break after reaching your profit goal. You seem to have some gambling discipline. Most of them would get greedy and start betting more or use their profits to gamble further and leaves themselves with no profit. That is totally okay if they enjoyed gambling, but that's not okay if its going to affect rest of their lives.
I don't gamble much, but if I do, I do it for fun. I don't care much if I make losses. Wouldn't bother chasing those.

Just charge it to your gambling experience. There are even people who experienced worst in a goal to recover their losses.

It's always the usual thing that we want to recover our funds after we lose.

Either you continue or not isn't a wrong move as long as you truly understand what you are doing.

When you gamble you should only go in with an amount that you are willing to lose.  It's just like setting up a financial portfolio.  It's important to have a base foundation of more common and "safer" investments, but it's also important to try and hit some home runs ( buying crypto, penny stocks et).  However with those home runs you're trying to hit, you want to use money that once again you're willing to lose completely.

I did the same that I bet more thinking of recovering back the lost amount but lost everything I have deposited instead. OP is lucky to have gotten back his funds. Casino games somehow has the most enticing pages that will make you think you can win any moment. And the moment you think so, you'd bet another.


That is actually what people do, if you send 1BTC, then I guess you'd be willing to lose it.  Deposit 0.002 BTC and you will think twice of depositing again after losing.

Fortunately, If I already lose my capital that day, I don’t have any money to chase for my losses and that save me a lot during that moment. I only gamble with a limited money so when I lose everything, I have to deal with it right away. We have the mindset like this, we want to gamble more so we can recover the money that we’ve loss which being greedy is bad at all and that can be resulted into another loss.

I just try and forget about it. there is no point trying to think what could have happened if you didn't chase your loses. since what's done is done and all you or I can do now is to prevent it in the future.

good for you. being able to win back at least a portion of your money and knowing when to stop if you know you can't afford to lose anymore. I am sure that there are gamblers who would go all in and risk more of their money just to win back their loses.

Being on that state is not healthy because if you really know what you are doing, you will stop right away because you know that chasing your losses is very risky. This is not normal, the greed can take you away if you allows it so if totally loss your capital, don’t chase it because its not your lucky day and you can always come back and gamble once you have the money again, a chance to finally make profit.

It's not that really easy to forget those losses especially on how much the amount is involved but for a regular gambler, losses are usual and the best thing to deal with that is to try to move on and prepare for another round of the game.

I'm not a gambler that will focus on the recovery of losses. I mean, it will just make things worst as the reason you gambled is to win at any cost. Instead of having thought that we need to recover what is lost, focus on how to win the next round and from there, try to maintain good winning stats.

*depends on what gambling type we are dealing with

Chasing the loss brings bad luck for me, unfortunately. The Crash game on Roobet is very tempting and cashing out before the target is a sign of emotional behavior for myself, I am sure other users have passed through this road too. The recovery on slots is very hard because hitting the bonus round is required to increase the multiplier which can cover the previous loss is not a smart way in this process.

In gambling, there are only two conditions happen:
1. Lost
2. Win
Both very often happen and will always be experienced by every gambler. Although he is a very very professional gambler, he might ever be lost more before he won and then make a bigger chance to win.
SO, basically, if you are afraid of losing, quit from gambling. But, if we can still stand for it just continue and forget the past. Always also think about what makes you lost, because of unlucky or other conditions and strategies

If you're too aggressive to catch up the loss, the more drowned you're going to be. Much better avoid betting another instance in order to stop wasting money, because you've been manipulated by the system. In my opinion, suspectedly automated gambling system was monitored virtually and we won't see it's transparency. Don't think of recovering that big loss, just enjoy and never take gambling as serious money making.

It's just a matter of setting up our mood after every losses, but if we know we have extra money sometimes it's too tempting to use and tries to recover what we lose which sometimes leads to more losses since we are too frustrated to get what we have lose in playing. It will be better if many have set their mind to play only in twitch limited budget and just move on whenever they lose, it's real that casino games now where too interesting that it keep us on playing more.

Well, if you lose a certain amount per session in gambling just stop and never chase on it. Because the more you stay in gambling the more that the chances of losing you may have. That is right don't be emotional when you are lost in gambling, instead, --just take a rest and come back when you have been relaxed. Sometimes I had personally experienced as OP experience when I got more than 20 straight losses, I will take a rest and never chase my losses. It could be doubled your loss if you will follow your emotion.

I am sure most gamblers do not easily forget the losses they have experienced, so gamblers will definitely try to cover the losses they
have experienced. By playing gambling with even greater capital, this is the beginning of an even greater loss. Because the longer we
play gambling, then the possibility that we will experience a greater loss will definitely happen. So we must be able to accept and move on,
if we experience losses in gambling.

They need to forget their losses, no matter how big the losses because if they still remember the losses, that can make them want revenge and try to win the games. It will not give them a chance to recover their losses, even if that can trigger another loss.

Playing gambling with greater capital will not guarantee to have winning much money, but the possibility of having a big loss will be there since if a gambler loses more than three times, they will still play the games. Accepting the losses and moving on will be necessary if we don't want to get more losses to avoid the bigger losses.

That's nice, knowing when to stop especially when it is a continuous defeat. I also do that whenever I gamble, keeping in mind always that I must stop or else nothing will be left. Self-control matters when you join gambling, you must know how much you can give and what it takes to stop. Do not let yourself to be controlled by some gambling sites because it can really addictive because of the pleasure it gives whenever we win. There's nothing wrong if you gamble for fun but ofcourse discipline in gambling must always be there.

In gambling, the opportunity and subsequent attempt to recover is always a bait. It is a kind of siren song which gives you the illusion to think you can get back your lost money but would only actually drain you out of what remains in your pocket.

Gambling is a sort of a slippery slope you have to learn to say 'enough of it'. It is hard but necessary. Giving in to your very strong urge to play more for recovery will only end up in a bigger loss.

TBH, I didn't ever tried to do what you did.
Playing again after losing some few bucks in gambling. That is not what I'm doing. Whenever I lost, I stop for days or even weeks and then gamble again if I see that there are some good events to bet with. For sure most gamblers will do what you did for sure since they can't accept losses and as long as they have money, they will gamble.

Lucky for you that you recover your losses and gained some profit. Whats better is you stopped when you got some profit. I hope that gamblers know when to stop and resume if it needs to.

Meaning you are literally a gambler mate or maybe can be consider as occasional gambler in which will play whenever they felt like playing.
And for me that is the best and good way to treat gambling and not to live with it.

But He risked everything for that and i will never do same as what he did.

I am afraid of losing because for me Money is far important than playing to gamble.

Gambling is almost exactly the same as fraud because when we make a bet with a very small amount the chance of winning is very large, even many times we try the gambling website system that we play as if it hints for us to make large bets. There it begins to bring our lust and desire to get the most out of it. We recommend that you bet with a small amount and the risk of losing is also small, you can use large capital but the results of following the bounty, airdrop or also the results of the bet, but still the system will not provide convenience and an opportunity for us to win. There is always potential when our position continues to win and make bets for all of our capital there is a gap for us to lose and all the results we got previously run out for them, it's best if you have won stop and withdraw the results first, leaving only a small portion.

Lucky for you, you still got the chance to take back what you've lost in gambling because most of the players never have the same faith as yours.


This is the most crucial part, other mostly will gone mad if they successfully took back their capital on gambling, but the smart move will always to quit when you already reached your goal and that's to take back your pride that has been lost with your money in a gambling site.

Well, we can't blame them though for grabbing the chances while they are still being lucky to gambling but just got unlucky in the process. Sometimes being torn with your decisions will always the reason why you lose more often in gambling, because the moment you have second thoughts, your decision will always be not that good enough to beat the odds of losing.

Yes, that happened to me many years ago. It was before I understood the math behind the game. It's always a bad idea. Although there's a small chance that you'll recover what you lost, you're playing against the odds. The problem is that when you are trying to recover losses you are in an emotional state and this makes you go deeper into the losses.

When my losses in sports betting starts to pile up from one another because of a bad streak I lower my bet size even further then continue from there. Half of the time it works I slowly win them back but I sometimes get too confident and increase my bet size just to lose it all again.  If my luck is still very bad I stop for a day and browse for better matches or place my bets live instead of pre live.

Good point thats why we must avoid chasing losses all the time,Like what you mentioned it is our emotional state is what will bring us to losing more because of our desperation sometimes we cannot decide which is right bet or where to bet.
So i guess having a rest after losing is still the best way to make pur mind and be better in the next time we play,this is gambling and our best shot is to have luck in our side things that rarely to happen.

The worst part there is if you somehow kind of recovering the loss and gets eager to make it faster you tried to be greedy e.g. you want to double your wager since you are seeing this might be streak but then at the end you end up loosing more. That's the worst part I tend to have experienced one time when I chase my losses, still grateful it gives me lesson until now, more like a gambling knowledge blessing in disguise.

LOL just what I just experienced too, it's a laughable matter to me now this days but I already moved on to that besides those are my choices and I don't regret those. Regret will not move you forward nor give you a light to the path you wanted to.

It always happen to me back in my gambling days instead of recovering I would lose more,
There are times that I could recover what I lost but when it occur I would suddenly think that I started to gamble in the first place to have profit so I would continue to gamble,
And I would end up losing it all instead of earning some profit this is why I stop sending out funds after I lost all of my deposit on the gambling sites.

I like this one, haven't tried this because I keep my bet constant or higher to bounce back and not lowering my bet size. Maybe my mentality is to really get back early that's why I prefer a sort of martingale strategy in sports betting, but we all know that using this technique, your bankroll will be swept very quick.

As for me if I'm luck is bad, I will simply stop for a day and but then continue to analyze future games that I'm going to bet.

I can feel you mate because that is how i also played,when i recovered from the losses then i make sure to pause my gaming and come back for
 another day or a week sometimes.
quitting while in Profiting is a signal that you are a disciplined gambler and you are not there to take advantage of the situation that mostly
goes to more betting and losing after a while.

It happens to all of the gamblers. Even without us noticing we always chase after our losses. Which sometimes leads to further losses. This happens because it's normal for gamblers to stop gambling without trying to get back with their losses. Whenever this happens to me, I try to stop myself hard that I even move away from my phone or computer so that I will not play again. I know and I am aware that there is a higher chance that I will lose some more if I try to win back my losses.

That is quite related to frustration. It would be greed if you are winning already and still continue playing, eventually ending up with losses, just sharing. Going back, good thing you have reflected in this situation. It would be a good thing to set limits, more likely, label it as an amount you can afford losing because wiining on any game which involves betting, does not determine assured victory. Self-discipline will make it more effective. Knowing what to do will be nonsense if you won't do it. It is like solving a math problem and despite of knowing formula 1 which would be the best way to come up with solution perhaps, you still insisted formula 2.

Yes it could be greed but it all could be another way. We have different perception and that will matter. As I had mention earlier in my reply that having wins and still playing is like having more fun without getting compromised the money that has originally brought for that period of gambling activity. We all know that we will going to lose in gambling in the long run of betting but we could not take the fact that gambling is sometimes could be addicting but it will just going to pass by after all profits or winnings will gone. Yet, in my case I am always keeping small profit for me intented for the next playing schedule.

When emotions dominate the mind, a gambler will have an excessive ambition to pursue their losses without thinking what will happen later. Actually, if we can't control our emotions while gambling, then we've made a mistake because we will act blindly and will often make fatal decisions. In this condition we only rely on luck, so if our luck was bad then our losses will be even bigger instead of being able to recover losses.

this is one of the most common error of any gambler, it requires a lot of discipline, self control, and experience...  
you should always avoid to bet to recover since you're playing stressed, accepting an high risk, playing angry etc etc... And also from a logic point of view, if you have not win, why the last bet (a magic all in) should be a lucky bet?

Most prabably all of us experienced that already, new gamblers will also be experiencing that of course, unless they're too good at gambling and their luck is high so they continuously win.
There are about 2 times in my gambling career that I got bankcrupted.
That was a breakdown for me, I lost all of thoae money on a single day, couldn't believe that happened.

But because of those experiences, I learned a lot.
Learnt good and working strategies so I could walk into success.
I'll play even more as I think I'm much matured now.

From my perspective, we all have the same experience when it comes to chasing after our gambling losses because we don't want to be a sore loser after we gamble. However, taking a little break is one of the best options for you to forget about your losses and try to get it all back next time you play if you feel lucky to win a huge amount of profit in gambling. But we shouldn't always be chasing after our losses because there is a huge chance that we could have huge debts and getting bankrupt.

Usually I follow this advise and take a few days off after losing, but in September and October I got too committed on my gambling and was not able to really stop. I kept trying to recover just to lose more in the end. It all started with being down $25 on the first week, after trying to recover I ended up losing another 60 bucks. And now after 4 weeks I am down $220. After such a loss I had to really step back, now I am just doing micro stakes dice games.

There's no such disciplined gambler , wanna make a bet?

Let's talk to him again later in next few weeks or days  ;D , see what he gonna do in the next days ... whether to gain another profit or completely stop playing any kind games.
I doubt he'll stop.
We are all knew how it feels as an active gambler , you'll die wondering how the fuck is this happened over and over again? To lost more and more instead getting a profit, bad news for a long term , but you might survive in profit while do it in short term.

That is the problem you see when trying to fight for your loss. Losses are to be taken as one of those things you in a losing business. So you need to wait for another day for your own meat, this is a perfect way to regain your lost profit.

If it's not problem gambling (and since you're saying that you always remember that you shouldn't spend more than you can afford to lose, it's not problem gambling), I think it's normal. Sometimes you end up losing, other times you end up winning. But the feeling that you gotta play more to recover the losses is dangerous. It means that the losses are really getting to the person, and this might cause problems in the future. I feel happy when I win, and a bit sad when I lose, but it's always a game for me, so I don't care much about either outcome and thus don't try to fix the bad one. I'm more like 'oh, well, maybe another time'.

^ Probably the good decision is to stop for a while when you have to encounter successive defeats in one row. I did this before when I was playing dice, almost 35 losses streak in a row and I felt upset at that time but I control my ego not to follow my emotion. Fortunately, I decided to stop and refresh my mind watching tv while drinking cold beer. After a few hours, I decided to gamble back. Believe me or not, I recover 80% of my losses at that time because of that strategy.

It is not suggested to chasing the loss after we lose because we will feel that it is difficult to do.
We can lose more money than we can afford, which can make us lose everything we have.
If you think that you feel you already lose a lot of money, maybe it is better to stop and don't try to continue the game because your emotion can be higher and lose control.
I have that experience before, and I realize after losing all of the money that I have on that day.
From that day, I am trying to set some amount to gamble, and I don't use all of the money that I set it before because I don't see the benefits for me to play gambling for a long time.
I am always trying to stop gambling if I think that I don't have a chance to win.

In addition, it will also condition the psychology of your mind to continue thinking in the right way other than playing too long and just eaten by your emotions. I have an experience before when I play too much and lost too much, there's always a feeling to double my bet assuming that I can retrieve my losses, good thing that I have a friend who told me of the next day and tomorrow. I just listen and cooled down. If I didn't I might lose everything in just one day. It is also true that what we feel now will be different tomorrow, so make sure to have proper discipline when gambling.

I've experienced it before but luckily I've managed to recover my losses and gain more I think it's still a matter of luck I've seen that many users here tried their luck but unfortunately some of them didn't manage to recover it. It can be risky but if you take risk maybe the outcome would be great.

What I see the most often is that there are cases when people lose and try to recover, promise themselves that once they recover from losses, they'll never gamble but sometimes it happens like people can't really follow their words or luck isn't on their side and they can't profit, higher debt makes it much more difficult to recover from it.

But, also what I see is that people usually think about different kind of strategies and while in their mind it sounds good, once they fail, then they think that they didn't give it enough time and budget to prove that it works and then they invest even more in their gambling strategies and if they end up losing a lot, then they move on another one and think around it. Then time comes when they promise themselves to never gamble but then again happens what I already mentioned above.

We all go to that process on double or maybe triple betting just to get our losses or provably earn on the next bet. And experiences really what make us different since we realize that doing that crazy betting can make us losers. But I don't erase the fact that sometimes even though we are experienced bettor we still go thru to this situation but in minimal manner

well, I think it is a little difficult to be able to recover losses that have occurred at a gambling place because if you try to play again in the hope that you can win and can get the capital that was lost before it will not be able to guarantee that the capital you use will return. , it is better to give up at the gambling place because when you do this you should already understand that the risk is the loss of all assets used at the gambling place.

As I mentioned in my post I was aware of what I was doing and gambled with only how much I could afford to lose.
I did not risked everything and I won't ever do that since it is against my principles.
Also, if you are afraid of losing and if money is important to you then you should not gamble at all.
I know the value of money too but I keep aside a certain amount of money for gambling.
And I know how losing money feels so my advice to you would be not to gamble if you are afraid of losing.

Just like what the post above you just said, it's a matter of luck and he made it and win again those previous loses, but not many of us can do the same thing as luck isn't always there for us.

Most of the time, it's more on the losing side as you are very aggressive and you are no longer thinking right whenever you are trying to catch up and recover the money.

Having the right mindset and good management of your money is very important in order
to prevent losing the amount of money that's not cool to remember.

Yes, I will also get over it by not remembering it. That way, I will not recover my losses in gambling because the experience I have had about recovery in gambling will be useless, as the results will continue to lose again and again. If you feel confident and able to make a recovery in gambling, that is part of the skill because not even all gamblers can do this. Indeed, for now you can recover your losses but whether it will be easy to do later, I personally don't believe you will do the same from time to time because at least there will be many changes that will occur.

there is a beautiful sentence; "Your luck today is for today and not tomorrow"..

I ever experience like this, when I lose in gambling I forced myself to win (on the same day) but what happened, I lost more and more.  but the next day when I tried to play gambling again then my loss yesterday paid off and I went home with a profit.  from there I conclude that, if you lose today then leave it, then come back again tomorrow..

  :D :D ;D
I bet this has happened to probably all gamblers that ever gambled. Losing more in the process of trying to recover what one lost earlier. This happened to me back in 2017 and I have since then stickied by some rules I made for myself. I call them 'Personal Rules for Gambling'
1. Always gamble what you can afford to lose. Any successful gambler will attest to this great advice. It's a golden rule
2. Quit after 3 losses in a row. Some do five in a row but I try as much as possible to keep it at 3 to reduce my losses
3. During a win streak, win as much as possible cause it's your lucky day
4. Periodically take some time off gambling. Blow some heat off and come back stronger

If you don't have much inside the platform's wallet you wouldn't be coming back to bet again and lose. Lucky OP got his money back after he bet again.
Some of us never get their money back and lose it all. Everyone that thought luck is on their side once upon a time may have tried it. I lose my Ethers on same situation. 

Taking a break to find a lucky day is good, its however hard to figure youre lucky when you lose the 3 first bets made for the day.

This is the reason why I am stopping myself to play as much as I like. Because addiction is really hard to avoid when you are experiencing win streaks and as long as you are winning, you would still kept on playing and when you experience lose streaks, you will try your very best as long as you have the money and chances to play because you want to regain what you lose but instead of earning, you lose more because of continues playing until you achieve your goal which is to win.

It would really like to be a double edge sword where neither do losing or winning it would really mold up some feeling neither you would be dedicated to play even more

just because you do aim to recover or do aim to make even more money because you are winning that much.This is why it is really important when it comes to self
control because if you do let yourself fall into this motives then getting addicted will really be there.

Don't chase losses because this will really generate even more.If you do lose that much then better stop and call it a day.

many do not realize that 'Must Win' that keeps coming to mind is a trap...
don't be too greedy when gambling, you will only continue to suffer losses if the ambition 'must-win'. You have to relax when gambling and stop when you have won or started losing, don't force yourself to be in debt and go all out that night.

It's a good thing that you're still able to recover from your losses but don't put too much emotions when gambling. Always expect that there's a big risk that you might lose not just once but a lot of times so you better know how to put limits to it. Gambling won't guarantee you continuous winning.

I'm not trying to recover losses immediately after it happens, I don't think this is a good strategy. Gambling is risky enough without pushing your luck thinking that just the next game or bet will be the winning one. This will usually bring your to even bigger losses so it's always better to take a break and cool your head. Don't be too eager, inpatient and don't be too greedy, these are not good charactis for gamblers.

Losing a gamble is indeed going to put a lot more mental stress to you than let's say losing at a videogame or an argument. But what worked for me best is to just play 3 games of it. and assess the earnings I received within those 3 games. If I get more winnings, I can still go on to play a bit more, but if I lose, I immediately stop as it's going to put a lot of stress on me if I continue losing that winning won't even feel like winning anymore.

Depends on how you do treat up gambling in the first place.It will really be stressful if you do really mind or do expect to win when you do play but since you do lose up anytime
then this kind of feeling cant really be avoided.

Having a good control of your emotions is also one of the factors that will really be helpful for you not able to end up on making out unnecessary decisions like chase up losses
or deposit even more.

Dont let yourself get on rage while you do play because this will just mess up everything more.

As explained in the old proverb, burning the forest for one tree is not acceptable no matter what happens. Like in gambling, in life we as human beings accept irrational decisions. The loss sequence can grow more than %500 in an hour if there is no smart money management. The idea is to make money, not to beat the casino. Whoever has tried to chase loss is the person who tried to beat the casino which has its biggest gun towards gamblers: House edge.

In the first place, we shouldn't do gambling just to recover our losses?

There's no success to that thinking since we will just be under pressure to get all of our losses. Just try our best to win no matter what everytime we play. If something bad is now happening, then take a break and don't push.

If still, after lots of tries, luck still doesn't come then maybe gambling on that luck-based game is not really for us. Try now to switch on other gambling types.

IMO, you don't need to mention the site where you lost your money. I know it is not a big problem, but some may think it is like you blame the site. It should be better if you just state "on a gambling site", no need to mention the name. BTW, it is just a suggestion, mate.

IT depends on your goal. If your goal is just for fun or enjoying the game, you don't need to set a specific target to win it. You can win it someday if you have good luck then. Or when you have known well the game, then you know the best way to win it. But if your goal is to bring back your money or even get a bigger amount of money, I suspect you will force yourself to play blindly and with all money you have. Personally, I never tried this way!

For luck based games then losing streaks is somewhat common compared to those skill based type of games and as suggested when you do find out that you are losing that much in luck type kind of games
then try to make up some switch or transition and you might able to experience different outcome.

Never ideal to chase up losses not only on gambling but also in other typical real life scenario specially when you are dealing with money.In business then considerable to have those
kind of motivation because effort is also applied, gambling is a different game.

You shouldnt mind or stress out yourself on how to recover.Just enjoy the game and dont mind about losses.Just think off that you are
paying  for the entertainment you do get.

If you are already seeing yourself losing on the gambling games you do play, better stop for a while and better get your luck the next time around. Do not aim to chase your losses for you will just end up wiping out all your funds seeking to recover the money you have loss in the gamvling game you have engaged with. There are still lots of chances of playing so do not put all your money into a one day of getting happy go lucky. Once you have already noticed that you are losing consecutively, better back off and go home rather than chasing for loses that you cannot further recover for the fact that you will just be risking your money into near wipe out once you chase your loss on hoping that you can recover your money.

That is what we should do with gambling games, but many gamblers forget that, and they think about how they can recover the losses by playing other games or more rounds. It is not worth trying to recover the losses because no matter how hard we try, if we don't have luck, we will not have a chance to win, even for just small money.

Playing gambling without thinking about winning will give us happiness because we can enjoy the games, and if we can win, that will be our bonus. And if you win, no need to wait for a long time to stop because that will be our savior to save our money from the losses that can happen in the next rounds.

If you think that luck is not coming, perhaps, taking a break will the best solution to calm down your emotion and tension, so you can back to the games and enjoy it.

I also do not believe on that sentence and this is the first time I encounter that here in gambling discussion, maybe on other arena it is applicable, there's no guaranty that you are going to be lucky today or tomorrow and there's no guaranty either that today or tomorrow is your unlucky day, we cannot predict that, we can only hope, but cannot predict.

Well we can talk all day about self-control,but when you start losing and have a big bankroll on a casino amd when some loss comes from out of nowhere,like on roulette when it misses by a number and you start chasing your losses then thats when the losing starts.Thats when the chaos starts and you just chasing your losses.
We have a saying better injured then dead.

My suggestion is to make a rule to stop playing and try to punish yourself by saving the money you lost from other things like not going out this week, or not buying that gift, etc.

You should set it in your mind that the longer you play in gambling aka the more rounds you play the more you "HAVE" to lose due to the house edge. It is as simple as that.

That is a good recommendation, I will try it out. Next time I lose big I will force myself to set away the same amount I lost. Taking it out of gift money is a good idea.

Where do you put the money? Just in the savings account, or into cryptos?

It feels not better if we lose money in gambling, but sometimes we can not stop playing, even if we lose again and again.
But yes, your suggestion will be worth it if we realize that we don't have much chance to win in gambling.
If many gamblers can stop playing even after they lose, maybe they can reduce the big losses in gambling and save the rest of their money.
It feels pain in ahead once we see that we are run out of money, especially in gambling, because we will think that the money actually can be used for other things.
A gambler must set in mind that we don't have to play for a long time, and we need to have limitations against our ego.
That is why we always remember that we need to have control in gambling to prevent the big loss, and the best is we can save our money.

This is common happening to all gamblers.I have started playing and I have won in the beginning,this gave me a false sense of comfort and security so I continued playing.Soon after I lost everything.Trying to recover from the rage I was feeling within I lost about 5 times the initial amount and I decided to stop there.I have not played anymore since then but I won’t lie,I am tempted to start again.In this cases controlling the rage and being calm can lead to better results.

When you're in the losing streak it isn't possible to stop as most users mentioned in their quotes. When the wallet fund gets emptied we'll understand that we should've stopped earlier. This could've happened with almost every gambler, recovering the lost funds is possible. For the same we need the patience, one should not expect the recovery to happen in single day with consecutive bets.

Hmmm,Punishing ourselves just because we commit mistakes wont enough because for sure we will cheat our self and make the punishments so easy and after that here we are again making another mistakes.
actually it depends on your luck,i have experience that at start i constantly lose and i don't think how much money i have lose at all but since it is a friendly game i continue,then after couple of hours the table turns and i am the winner till the end.

actually that is what we workers must do,allocate the amount we will spend in gambling and after losing that then were need to go home.

Its very easy to say things like this and things like that but in reality, gamblers can't do things like that.
Stop?? Especially for an addicted one, they can't do that thing because as long as they have money they will gamble and gamble.

Instead of setting a rule like this, they must change their mindset and have a discipline first because this rule will be useless. I agree that punishing yourself thru saving money would work but how can you make if if you aren't discipline enough to do it.

Thanks for Mentioning Roobet for Free advertisement mate. ;D

Quitting the game is what we need specially if we felt that Luck was not really in our side.
Good for you on this one,meaning maturity of being a gambler is going inside you and from this you will be a disciplined gambler and may not lose biggie in the next days.

Coming from one of the top sport's tipster then I'll go along the way.

We can say things based from our experiences and everything that we can't really done to our own gambling activities was the best advise that we can tell ::) It's usually happened with every gamblers, trying to chased your money and keeps on losing your reserves.
You only realized things when you already emptied your savings and the only thing left is the memories of all those money you lose.

It is so great that you've learned from that mistake.

Knowing some gamblers, they would just keep on gambling despite that loss and think that they would just get back the losses they had. People should just keep their cool and always realize the situation they are in. This is the natural path of gamblers who will end up getting addicted, so glad that you able to control yourself and stop yourself from falling from addiction.

This happened to me and I know a lot of gamblers here. You will always have that day when you can't just stand losing straight and you just want to try and try to win not knowing it should've been stop earlier. There are times that you are so mad at work and you need to breath some air and do gambling then it is just a loss streak, that would be really annoying. Gladly, I am done with that, I lost a lot of bitcoins because of that, we should really learn from our mistakes in the past.

its okay to not go out or malling because thats not important  . what will you do on the mall ? watch movies , spend foods to eat and others ? but gifts are important . you give gift to someone in thier birthdays , wedding , etc . the people that are expecting a gift from you will be dissapointed if they know that you gamble and lost the money that supposedtedly  be allocated for gift .

@mauser i like what your saying . is that a promise ? ill wait for your honest update next time if you really didnt gamble same amount

Why do you even gamble if you are mad? If you want to breathe some air, you don't do that in a casino. If you are mad and stressed at work, gambling might only make it worse. Good if you get out of the casino bringing nice profit, but what if you lost? Then your stress will only double and you will find it even harder to sleep not only because of your work-related stress but also of the money wasted.

By the way, do you share the same experience that if you are mad and not really in the mood, you seem to be unlucky. That is what I noticed when I gamble. When I'm just compelled because friends are there, or you are in a bad mood, etc. you seem to be losing. It feels like life is playing with you and they are taunting you.   

This only applies to those who have self-discipline and those who can still manage to resist gambling temptation. But for those who have been experiencing excessive gambling, even if they will set different rules, it will be hard to follow it and they will just end up breaking their own rules. And even if we say that we are not an excessive gambler, sometimes it's also hard for us to stop. For me, one thing that we also need to keep in mind is our priorities, in that case, it will give us a reason to think and have a second thought about gambling more.

That is commonting that will happen when we play gambling, we will always be tempted to make another deposit when we to revange our losses before. I've met the situation when I just tried to play gambling, the games will always tempted me to make another deposit when I lost but when I got win I just make a higher bet then before. I've realized it when I spent almost $200 per week for that situation and it has made my lifestyle change. Until I met a situation that I should change my habitation and learn some strategy for at least I can reduce the money that I spend per week. And yeah I can change it so far, and something that I learn Having a strategy for revenge is a bad way to go when you are a gambler.

I also had similar experiences when I was trading binary options of course options is more like gambling to me, in a bid to recovering my losses I traded more and in the  process I incurred more losses my believe was that I can beat or punish the market, unfortunately reverse was the case until I lost all my fund lesson learnt here is to stop gambling while securing my remaining fund for another day.
I also consider the amount or I earmarked the amount of money I can afford to lose daily once that had been lost I quit immediately to avoid any touching stories.

Loses is normal in gambling, if you're betting not knowing full well that you'll lose more money than winning then you shouldn't play gambling. Recovering the loses is not bad either because it comes when you always play gambling. The only bad thing about it. Is when you wage money more than you can afford to lose. Now that's unhealthy, and could get you bankrupt, in the end.

This is also my thought though I have not lost a lot. But whenever loss then I skip gambling that day. Learning is the best thing in the world that if you learn anything, you can do best by using the brain. So try to learn more and more. Don't try to recover your losses without learning.

Because at that time gambling is something I do to entertain myself. I do have those times that I gambled in a bad mood but most of them have this great results even though I don't actually win, it is like I kind of release that stress by betting. I don't know if that is the case for some gamblers, but in the past I am like that.

Learn hard lessons in life. But at some point we need to experience that in order to appreciate what is best for us.
If you truly feel what is wrong with your decision, you will know what are the best actions to address your problem.
And as a gambler, we experience lots of times about wanting to recover our losses.
Sometimes, I will tell myself to withdraw my money once I reached this amount, but then again, I will find myself playing.
So it is really understandable about such kind of behaviour, because as a player, sometimes greed is on your side.

This is quite a problem for addicted gamblers.

I never thought that this could happen to gamblers. I am not addicted to gambling so I never thought that this is a scenario for the, I just thought that they also think that they should be aware that they are not in a good mood to play and that would obviously create this bad scenario and engage them more in chasing wins even in a losing streak. People should really control themselves, I know it is hard but it is for their own good.

You should avoid losing a lot in gambling because you will never know what you will do. Learning from our mistakes is the best thing that we can do to have more experience in facing that thing in the future. I am sure we can do that, but that will need an effort to know ourselves and have self-control in gambling.

There is nothing more that we can do if we lose. But if we can stop while we can, we will have that money, and we can use that money to gamble for the other days. Once we can control ourselves, we will not be afraid to stop anytime, and we will not lose too much money because we always use limit money to gamble.

The hardest thing to do is to quit the game while you are winning, we are always tried to extend our winning, this is us, we keep n hoping to recover our losses, we still keep on when winning this is to extend our losses and we eventually lose our money, so stopping at the right time when winning takes a lot of self control and that is hard to develop.

There are two things that make it difficult for us to stop playing gambling, the first we win in a row. This makes us greedy and want
to get even bigger profits. The second we have lost in succession, makes us curious and want to continue playing gambling to cover up
defeat. So we must be able to limit ourselves when playing gambling, if we don't want to lose all the capital we have. So if we have
suffered a losing streak, we must be able to stop. If we are forced to play again we will definitely experience even greater losses.

Running behind lost amount is like chasing for water in desert. It's a mirage. A false thing. A false hope. If you actually think about it, the amount you lost last time isn't the only amount you ever lost, is it? You must have accumulated a large amount of funds in your loss-book. Same is for everyone who's gambling for years like me. If we let's say recover for last round, we will be even then we will be greedy to make more profit and recover more funds we lost before. It's a very dangerous and addicting loop.

We don't know if he's lost last time is not a big loss because I think not many gamblers will tell other people how much money they already lose in gambling.
The gambler will keep the losing amount of money for themselves, and they will only tell that they are already losing the money in gambling.
I am afraid that when we can win in the last round, we can still keep playing that games without thinking that what we got is already enough because we can recover our loss and get our money back.
But unfortunately, it seems, many gamblers don't know when they need to stop, but they still playing gambling for more rounds.
If that so, they will see another bigger of losing the money, but this time, they will hard to recover their loss because they already have that opportunity to get their money back before, and they screw it up.

I like the example of what you gave and also yes, I have lost multiple time chasing to recover the lost amount. Though some may be lucky and would have also recover and everyone will have different luck as well in such cases. So, for me playing just so that I can recover does not work instead that becomes past and I only look in future in such cases.

In order not to chase the past and not to try to recoup, you need to understand and accept a very simple thing - any gambling ends for the player - win / lose / or player left the game remaining with their funds. Each individual game is in no way connected with the subsequent or past games by any laws as a separate coin flip at multiple flips.

That is one gamblers curse that we need to overcome. That urge to gamble more and more just for the idea that we need to get back the lost money. We all had that experience one way or another I am sure. And this is not just true for gamblers but also people who experience winning so much that they want to partake and gamble more in the hopes of getting more and more profit. Only to lose it in the end. That is why we all need to be careful when it comes to these kinds of urges.

The few times I gamble I have always a plan preconceived.

Independently on what the odds are, if I plan to play 5 rounds of X, I stick to it whatever happens. This way, I never fall in the trap of "recovery".

In addition, for those who are not familiar with the book, I recommend you Dostoievsky's "The Gambler". Not a long story, but quite interesting from the point of view of anyone who knows what it feels like to win/lose decent money gambling.

This strategy is good but not enjoyable anymore. Most of the gamble to release stress and anxiety of being alone and this strategy will literally kill it. First of all, why do you gamble if you are just doing a fixed number of bet? You can't guarantee that it will satisfy yourself on that game. It's like getting a stress in gambling rather than releasing it on gambling.

I understand your point because you might gambling for sole purpose of profit which this strategy is effective for self control.

Personally, The best way to counter this kind of recovery issue for me is just deposit money that you can afford to lose. In that case. You will not worry what will be the outcome of the game.

That really gave me something to learn to. With the help of my partner, I stopped myself from going further down the darkness of gambling. It is not that easy but it is so great having that feeling of someone helping you so bad, she's one of the reason my life is well.



To be honest, looking back I hope I could just control myself. I still regret the amount I am gambling in the past. I am still gambling right now but at least right now I could control the amount I am betting, I know now my priorities.

For this very reason I keep my Tron for staking and I cannot withdraw them even if I want because there is a lock in period and I cannot withdraw before that time expires and by the time they get unlocked I realize I have lost enough and time to take a break from gambling. It is not easy to save your deposited amount to a casino though so only deposit what you know you are going to lose, maybe not today but surely in coming days or weeks if you are lucky enough to survive that long.

I never chase my loses but that is because I don't have the balance to do it, I mostly play slots and I either end of winning something huge and if not then I just bust trying to win big and now that most of the slots offer buy free spins feature, it is killing my balance like never before.

What if one day you'll have enough balance to do it, would you chase your loses?
For me, I would never do that as that is a sign that I am an indiscipline gambler and I'm in the risk of losing big money.

You'll stop gambling if you think you are winning, gambling is fun it should stay that way whether you win or lose, and regardless of the games you are playing.

yup, you should really know the risk before gambling or anything that involves money, but atleast you recovered some of your funds though, you can stop gambling while you still can, some people gone broke because of their gambling addiction. just try any other way to earn and not gamble a lot.

Chasing your losses is big sin for gamblers you will eventually going to lose everything, you should know when to stop and how to stop although it's very tempting to continue I experienced this many times in the past but I always ended up losing my additional deposit, be contend moderate your greed, you will have your lucky, but don't force yourself to win, when it's not meant to.

It is easier said than done though because it is not easy to resist gambling when you are in loss and have money with you to gamble and it is an automatic urge to win back, no one really wants to chase the losses but this is automatic. I often play dice and I lose like $10-20 which I can easily afford but somehow I play more and yes at times I recover and even gain profits but more than I lose a lot more in the process. But that is still something I can afford because I deposit only what's extra with me and what I know I am going to lose eventually.

According to that we shouldn't even gamble because you do not have to face house edge if you do not gamble but that is just theoretical and when you visit a casino you just feel the urge of playing and as long as we are losing small enough to shrug off we are all good.

We are just humans and that kind of urge will surely exist or can be felt no matter what and thats why gambling industry is profitable due to this kind of
peoples characteristic where they do chase up losses instead of completely stopping.This had been always the cycle, good for those people who do able to
control up themselves and sure no luck for those people who havent able to control that urge, if lucky then it would be just temporary.This is why
we do really need to be sensible towards our actions.If we do treat gambling as a source of income or making money then thats really a big mistake.

Playing more is different from chasing your losses and if we compare what is the reason for most of the people to get addicted to gambling is just because of chasing their losses which will eventually never possible to reach the the losses we made unless we are lucky. OP learnt the lesson in right time or else you might lost more in the chasing race.

The best strategy would be to take some time off if you are on a losing spree, you will usually get a way better result after some break and will have better chance of winning what you lost back, it happened to me too many times and no matter how hard I try after a while I find myself making this mistake again but I'm noticing that I'm definitely getting better at it.

Also one other thing is that you should make sure the amount that you are betting on is not more than you can afford to lose, one of the reasons why so many people find it so hard to stop after losing some money(having a bad day) and want to recover fast what they lost is because they are betting on too much money, and when you are gambling too much money then your emotions will decide for you which will lead to more and more betting until there's no balance.

As the saying goes ''bet on what you can afford to lose''. The same thing goes for investment. If you always have that at the back of your mind, you're good to go at betting.

There will be a time you'll lose and also time to win. Depending on how luck shines on you that day. But once you notice luck is against you for that day, it would be advisable to withdraw immediately to avoid more losses and try again, some other day.

I have lost the winnings of the week in an hour on my unlucky day but that slot has not been generous too. In total, I have made more than 2000 spin but the bonus features never arrived in-game, unfortunately. After that day, I never try to revenge gamble because it will take back all winnings on the loss series. Sometimes, it is possible to make mistakes for pro gamblers and it can happen any day. Just my 2 cents.

Or simply stop getting all those losses back,

As OP said, he tried to gamble more instead of stopping immediately. He might thought that if he continue to play he might win that time. In this kind of situation, it is better to stop and try again the next day or a few more days before starting to gamble again.

I think it can be the same, in my opinion. Playing more is just the way of doing it but there are a lot of goals that you want to the reason why you will continue on betting or play more. One of those reasons is to be able to chase your losses, another one is to just keep on entertaining yourself in that matter of time, that is just some and it could also lead to someone's addiction.

If you can hold yourself in chasing your losses while you are playing more, that will be good. But unfortunately, some gamblers can't do that because they think that if they can win one round, they can try to play more to win the game. But many gamblers become addicted after they play for some time because they don't realize how long they should stay and play the game. That can happen too with us, especially if we can't manage our time. So before everything too late to realize, we need to have control of ourselves.

It's actually more on how you can control yourself better rather than winning more in case you reset your mind after a losing streak. It's like removing the impulsive desires in your mind, clearing it so as when you once play again, you can make better decisions in terms of exiting or continuing gambling.

True, trying to judge whether to stop on something as vague as luck on whether to continue or not seems like a bad idea. As far as it's concerned, it's actually one of the reasons why people seem to actually continue gambling even when they lost huge amounts, probably because they won big at the beginning. I don't know if it exists or not, but there are some casinos that let you win for a bit, then make you lose by quite a lot. Could happen in table games, yes possibility is low, but it could still happen right?

It's possible to recover your losses since it doesn't mean your overall losses, to be more realistic it could be your losses from last week or the previous deposit like what OP did.

I agree they're somewhat the same because you end up with the same outcomes of losing and winning the only difference is just the current mindset you're in while playing.

Trying if you have the chance would never make you an indiscipline gambler. You'll only become indiscipline when you keep on trying even though it's crystal clear that you have to future in gambling. In fact, in my opinion, being a gambler itself is already indiscipline because it is illegal (unless you're playing to a casino that is licensed) well, it's still illegal when we are going to ask it to the Bible.

But if I'm going to have the balance to do so, I would never play gambling, instead I would use it to start a small business and I'm going to make it big slowly, that's the gamble I wanted to risk my money.

You should stop awhile and looking for other betting way if you have lost more in one game site, you not lucky with this game and try easy and have bigger chance to be winning like soccer or tennis game. I know have small amount reward of winning but exactly you not lost all your money in gambling. Just one way how to recovery your money with looking other game and check how bigger chance to get profit with the game and keep playing safety without all in your money. When you reach profit must save half and running small amount again to betting. Many player all in their money and lost more than have stop after nothing have to betting again.

When you play to recover your loses ten you are always in a hussy and usually place high bets. This way you can even further lose your money. The best approach is that when you lose a game, stop for sometime and then come back again with a fresh mind and then try to recover your loss.

Playing more is when you have more funds that you allocate for that day to play, chasing losses is when you already lose but you still deposit in the hope or you feel that you can still recover, sometimes our feelings betrays our thinking, we still think that we still can win when everything is based on luck and not what we think,

Its not about playing at that time or playing later to recover the money. It’s not the ideal way for gambling. Each game is a new game and just play only for that game and in process of recover not only you lose money but also the chances of getting addicted rises considering you will always want you money back after losing and in gambling making money may not be easy if luck is not on your side.

I'm not really convinced whenever I heard that gambling is a way of entertaining someone, because it is not. Entertainment is about enjoyment, being mad or frustrated is not included, but you always experienced it in gambling therefore that concludes that those people who are saying gambling entertains them is just mere mask to hide their true intent in gambling which is to chase their losses and chase the big profits.

And since they are too focused on that, they forgot to take care of their inner selves which is their mental and emotional health.

I think it is better if you never come back for those losses.

Chasing those losses would be really dangerous for you. You can't actually control what is happening and what usually happens is that you will never get back those losses and be kept on that losing streak adding more losses which also means chasing more losses in the ear future. People should not gamble for the losses they had, that should also be their sign to stop chasing them.

It is very rare occasions for a gambler to chase lose and win,Most of the time chasing only add losses in their part.
thats why those knowledgeable gamblers don't even do it.
If they already loss for a certain time then its time to pack up and return on the other day when they think luck will come with them and bring them winnings.
this is depend on what is the attitude of each gambler and how they deal in betting.

The chance of getting addicted is always possible to every gamblers who have too much engagements with the game they've played, each time you lose nature inside you wanted to recover everything.

That will put you in the high risk of getting involve that much since you are trying to keep inside the game and recover your loses, forcing you to tap more money inside your bankroll.

You know what, the best thing to do to avoid the losing process or chasing of losing is to know how much money you can afford to lose, it will lessen the pain from losing. this is the main problem for every gambler whenever they lose their money on gambling, they won't quit unless they recover the money that has lost but in the end, you will still end up losing, if you can't control yourself from gambling then do not gamble because that will happen to you when you lose money on gambling, this is also somehow related to this quote. “Quit while you’re ahead. All the best gamblers do.” -Baltasar Gracián y Morales. you should always know when to quit no matter the situation is.

We can avoid chasing losses by doing these things:
1. Set a loss limit and discipline yourself - it would be hard for you to follow your losing limit if you can not discipline yourself.
2. Take a break - when you think that you keep on losing then it is time for you to take a break.
3. Do not take it personally - I know the feeling of being a loser but that is gambling it is a high-risk way of earning money, we should not take it personally, just accept the fact that it is hard to win in the gamble.
4. Leave the casino if you can.

When you take a break you tend to get calmer and as the result you will make better decisions and you will have a better time gambling as you will no longer have that itch in your mind that keeps telling you to continue betting because you just lost some money and because it just wants to feel comfortable and get back what it lost as soon as possible, even trading is like that and if you lose on a trade one day you just have that same thought that constantly wants to get rid of the negative feeling caused by the loss on a trade and will continuously try to make up for it by making you get on another trade while it usually just leads to even more loss, but as you get more experience in gambling/trading you eventually learn to ignore those thoughts or at least control them better.

I understand that every game in gambling is a new game but when you have the intention of recover your loss from the pervious game, you will not be able to play freely. I have experienced this myself. When you are playing for loss recovery there is a feeling of anxiety and you will never be able to enjoy the game.

That is good to hear since that means you never have that problem with gambling, which means you are not in that position to be addicted whatsoever. There are a lot of people that enjoy betting money, the reason a lot of people are addicted to it, not just to chase their losses, or to win more but because they are enjoying risking their money. In your view that might sound stupid but that is the reality, there are people like that.

Once a person gets addicted to gambling, he will not think about how much money he will spend because he only thinks about playing gambling every day.
What inside in his mind is playing gambling repeatedly, and if there are no other people who will warn him, I am sure that he doesn't need too long to see his lives will ruin.
But I don't think that if he still plays gambling and loses more money, it will be good to recover his losses because I think he will lose more money without realizing it.
It is better to admit that losses and trying to get out of the gambling as soon as possible before it's too late to stop gambling.
Gambling is addictive, and that can lead people to become addicting anytime.
So if you don't want to become addicted to gambling, you need to apply the limitation you have, including money.

Chasing losses is the most dangerous part of gambling, along with spending more than you can afford to lose. It is so easy to fall into the trap that you'll be able to recover losses, but the maths and learning algorithms that big casino companies use is simply designed to beat customers in the long term. All you end up doing is losing more and it is best to cut your losses to take a break for a while.

This is true but I don't want to deny that I tried to recover my loss too before. There was this time I lost 3 times the money I've been trying to recover. Lesson learned cause I see it as a dumb way to lose more. Whenever I'm gambling, If I lose then I lose. There will be times I'll try to recover the lose but I set only a few bucks for the recovery. If I lose that few bucks then It's time to stop. It works sometimes cause I recover what I lose, but risk is high so not advisable if you are chasing a big amount of money to recover.

It's a choice to go and full bets for the recovery of your losses. But there will be gamblers that will be careful by that time to avoid continuous losses.
Just like the slowly but surely process but by that time, it's for the recovery.

I think many of us tried to recover from our loss before, but not many of us can get the money back, and mostly, we are lost more money without a chance to recover. Suppose our reason to play gambling for another round is that we want to recover the losing money. In that case, I think our chance will not be bigger because we already lose money, and we will have more opportunities to lose another money.

Yes, the risk becomes bigger because we risk more money to get the lost money. Perhaps, stop playing gambling will be advisable after we get some gambling games losses. The important thing here is we don't try to recover the lost money.

It is a common call of Chasing losses in which we do at some time with stupidity,because we have lose enough yet we are willing
 to lose more just to win back the recent though we already had enough.
You are correct this has been happen to majority of us when gambling but what we must learn here is that lesson that we will not do it again.
we will gamble with some funds and will never let to lose everything in your pocket.

best solution to avoid this stupid process (and then lost all!) it's... set a loss limit!
With my FIAT bookmaker I had two loss limits. The first is to avoid to deposit more in the same week/month.
Another one is related the amount that I can lost in the same week/month.
Probably some time we are just trying to bet (to win more) and not focused anymore in what type of betting we are doing. Money management is always an useful instrument ;)

In addition to this statement, after the lost, as we strive to recover the money back, we have a higher chance of losing, as we are mostly focused on the thinking of "I need to win these, or I don't want to lose", hence losing our focus in the game, and continually lose until we lost 2-4x our bet.

Discipline and Limits, is always my answer to these issues. By having limits, I can always stabilize myself to think rationally after the limits goes off. I can think of the reasons why should I continue, How more can I loss, what is the percentage that I can recover my win, and how stabilize am I to continue playing. By giving myself a time to think, I can convince myself to quit, or continue depending on the answers to my questions.

This happens to everyone from time to time especially if you use the martingale strategy after all we think that it is very unlikely you are going to lose 8 times in a row but that happens all the time, at least you were able to take it and not being affected greatly by it, this probably also has to do with the fact that you lost a small amount of money, just try to remember this and make it a lesson for yourself, never try to recover the money you have lost to the casino because that is precisely the moment were your losses will increase dramatically.

Not only in a certain strategy but to the nature of gambling itself. A gambler out of frustration will more likely make efforts to cope up with losses by simply forcing a win, betting big amounts not looking to how much the losses became. In gambling, losing is more certain. In cases of gambling addiction, greed and frustrations are more likely to be factors resulting into such. The best thing to do in order to avoid being stucked with big losses is to just set an amount to gamble everytime you would want to play. Wether you win or not, stick with that amount. In this method, you will be playing it safe and this would more likely avoid regrets which could result to desired "avenge" of losses but in reality is falling for more. There are times wherein a gambler would be able to take back his losses by continuing the game but surely, there are more instance that this strategy will more likely bury your losses.

That's why we always have a fund that we are ready to lose. Because the more you will chase the more the chance of winning will stay away from you including good luck as an investor or a gamer.

The problem here is people don't have self-satisfaction, they always want more even they know that they already gained profit but once they profit. Greed will lead you to different consequences if you are gambling, you should be thinking twice before you do anything.

The worst part in chasing loses is that if you are able to recover your loses you will get addicted and start thinking like if you can recover such a big loss so easily then why not play more and even make some profit. While if you lose you will just feel like you need to recover so this is basically an endless chain of events which is not going to stop unless you realize that loses are done and now we need to move forward.

That is why people say deposit only what can you happily lose, so that you never feel the urge of chasing your loses at all. Once you start chasing loses the hole becomes a carter in no time and you feel like you are getting into a never ending recovery process.

Even though that's probably the biggest mistake in gambling, almost all of us do it. We keep gambling with the hope of recovering our losses. But the more we gamble the bigger the overall losses and you get to a certain point where this becomes just a pretext to gamble.

I suggest you to treat gambling as a source of entertainment. You take a certain amount of money each month that you can afford to lose and that's your gambling bankroll for the entire month. Now, whether you lose it or increase your balance it shouldn't matter because you lost the money you could afford to and you also enjoyed gambling. Next month you do the same thing, if you have more money available you can increase your bankroll as long as it doesn't affect your overall lifestyle and budget. The important thing is to have a fixed amount of money either every month or every day/week and not spend even a single more cent more than that.

That's what its called rage-gambling. I have seen someone in twitch lost $50 in first  run. BUT, the urge of getting your money back and the greediness lead them to death. They lost $120 just for the sake of recovery. That makes me realize that as soon as you lose money on anything, you should move on and try it different day with the amount you can afford to lose.

It's not even a joke, small thing like this could affect your life in the future.

^If you don't set a limit on how much you lose or win for you to stop, it will be difficult to keep you satisfied while gambling.
^sometimes positive thinking is very difficult to do for those who are so burning with greed, they forget the time and only think about having to 'win'.
^emotions like this that every gambler should be able to have so that they don't suffer more losses.
^hehe, it must be difficult to do, especially for those who are very addicted to gambling.

I don't feel it was a trap because, in the first place we know that losing is a part of gambling, and winning will be just our bonus if we are lucky enough. That is the reason why in every time I gamble I'd never think about winning but just asking to have luck this time. because the hardest part of being a gambler is to accept that we lose and we want to recover by making another bet again, incrase our bets which actually never works perfectly.

And you are right, we don't need to chase about winning. If we lose, accept it, and better not to complain rather than to enjoy your day.

That is why we see many gamblers lose their money after they continue playing for more. They can't accept the condition that they are losing the money. They think that if they are still playing games, they will have more chances to get the money back. But that is what they get if they decide to play for more rounds.

Both discipline and limits are two things for the keys besides other factors for every gambler who doesn't want to lose too big money. If you lose from the games, especially if you lose for more rounds, there is no other way for you except stopping playing the games. If you still decide to play for more, you still have two things that you can get, which is won or lose, but the chance to lose will still bigger.

Not for some of the gamblers. Even though there are some gamblers who keep gambling even they suffered losses already, there are some still who knows when to stop and accept their defeat in gambling. They know when to stop if needed. The problem with those undisciplined ones is that they tend to spend more and more money as they are losing money. Yes there is a chance that you can recover your losses but that isn't the situation all the time.

I just hope that all of the gamblers treat gambling as a form of entertainment only and not a source of income or the like.

Yeah everyone of us did that but it is our obligation to learn and prevent that from happening again,It is best experience for us to accept that chasing losses is the BS way in gambling.
That is what it is but many fails on this instead they are seeking for more and more money so ending?they are now either addicted or a loser.

It is good to know that some gamblers has their own realisation once they were defeated by their bets. But there are some instances also that once gambler were really hooked up in gambling should we say been addicted to it even though they suffer huge lose they're still not quiting gambling. I don't believe that lost more in the process to recover, how could you recover from that huge lose? Maybe you will get a lesson learned from your past experience if may regret it then cope up with that lose and either in two, would you still going to gamble or never.

Don't be so biased dude ;D. Let's admit that we can also be rich through gambling. But when it comes to probability, you really had a greater chance of being broke. So yeah! You are right at some point, however I am pointing out that chances of becoming rich here still exist. The only secret recipe is the right combination of knowledge, skills and luck.

With regards to the mindset, we can get rid off the fact that most of us here play mainly because of money rsther than fun. And that was expected actually since money talks are included here. So if you are only seeking for fun then do not gamble, play video games instead.

Don't keep thinking that it is common to say; Lost more in the process to recover (!?)

Losing is common, uncommon is to think that it is normal for you to lose all your bankroll, I do not know if it is because I come from the world of poker, but get used to calling things accordingly how they correspond to the gambling argot is important; it is not the same to say in the world of bets "I have $ 100 to play at the casino" or say "my gambling bankroll is $ 100". Not! is not the same.

Behind the expression bankroll there is a control strategy, behind the phrase "I have $ 100 if I lose them I don't play anymore" there is a recreational player who will surely not cry if he loses the $100 and in that sense it is curious that the weepy is usually someone who plays frequently.

Frequent player is very different from recreational player, one should begin to understand where you are in reference to that type of player and in the process of knowing what type of player one is, you begin to build their "gaming bank," which is transformed into bankroll.

Your gaming bank has two supplies, your income for whatever reason, and your bankroll. In that sense, you may begin to realize that your income is not directly related to the bakroll, that is, before you get there your income goes through your gaming bank. And this is a simple, but optimal strategy.

Now the above is of no use if you do not change bad betting habits and end up losing always in each "game section", learn to take time per game section based on something that is comfortable for your day to day, This is just as important as the size of the bet.

Poker players are constantly calculating that size of the bet, not only in each play (pre/post flop, turn,river), also in the relationship stake-blinds, especially MTT players. I have learned that in this type of casino game I have a small advantage, my amount of initial bets are not affected by time, this is crucial for the big question you ask "OP," because if I start with an amount in a certain game, I do not change it unless I want to, and in that sense every player, should not be measured punctually by game sections, if not by the sum in a given period.

That is, it is normal that you have sections in red, nothing happens, tomorrow is another day to recover and the subsequent ones. As long as you maintain a healthy bankroll based on the correct bet ratio, you will always have a "tomorrow" to play.

To this type of habit you must add the rakeback, bonuses, prizes and all that added value that some casinos give, then add all that and plan according to your results, change what you have to change but in a long-term projection, in this way it eliminates the error of wanting to recover specific losses on certain days of play.

G.B

For me I think that this is normal for every gambler that has tried to recover what they lost they could have experience this once or more in their gambling time.
And there are times that we could win profit by doing this I have experienced it both I earned a good profit by not stopping when I lost my first deposit and I also lost more when I am just trying to recover my first deposit.

It is normal for a gambler to hope that he or she can still recover what he or she have lost after the game but what isn't normal is when you are still chasing your fortune to win even if you have failed for so many times because it may lead to addiction. You should have self discipline because if you play frequently even if you are losing your game constantly that is the point that instead of recovering what you have lost, you will more likely lose a lot.

If they hooked up in gambling, I think they are not yet been addicted, especially if they lose their money not too often that the gamblers who play gambling every day.
That will be a different meaning if the gambler loses their money in one day only, and the gambler loses their money every day because they are playing gambling every day.
It is difficult to recover the loss, whether it's a big loss or small loss, because gambling will depend on your luck.
If you lose more, I think you need to stop playing gambling and don't return to the place a few days later, so maybe you will get your luck to come to you.
But unfortunately, people can not learn from their loss, and they still play other gambling games.
We don't have to be like them because we need to learn from every lesson that we got in gambling to be wise in the future.

Yes, many people seek for more money from gambling, and people like that will look for strategies to earn from betting, but they will find themselves losing, and they will lose the more, becoming addicted to it. I was once a victim, I can gamble and be hungry, and I sold my home theater and some other stuffs because of gambling, it became a problem for me. That is why we should take gambling for fun, using only the money we can afford to lose, before becoming a problem for us. Having a mindset that gambling can not make someone rich is good enough, thinking it can make you to be the wealthiest man.

I won't be able to sleep that day and keep thinking if I hadn't got greedy then I could have won some bucks. But by the next day, I'm ok again and I just forget what happen last day. It's really hard to control our emotions during those times. We keep thinking we could win more and imagine the things we can buy if we win but in the end it just leaves us disappointed even if it's our fault.

Losing a lot of money in gambling is not good and also is not a process to recover. It's better to win first because if you lose all your money how you can recover if your money is lost already because of many times of losing.

I don't believe this and that is normal to the gambler when they going to lost and they gonna win not always you lost your money and also getting profit not always it depends on how long you playing, greedy or contented and also how much money you spend to the gambling.

When getting lost from my betting I will not take remember anymore but always on my mind why I have choose this team and betting for some soccer club, why not choose the other to get winning. I do not protect after lost from betting looking an airdrop or bounty income for take recovery my lost but if I can't waiting bonus from betting site. I don't use my saving money for betting because bad ideas and not working anymore, when take betting you have keep on your mind have lost there because when you face or your bet lost you looks not worry.

It's a weakness for some gamblers, I would not deny I have that problem as well but overtime I was able to learn to control my emotion as I have realized that if I'm greedy, I always end up losing more, so a win regardless of the amount is a win, and it's important we have to follow the game plan.

Yes indeed. Losing a game is the weakness of most of the gamblers that's why if there are still chances to play again and try to recover their loses, they will take the risk without thinking that the more they are chasing the their games to win and reciver their loses, the more they are losing what they have everytime they are losing a game and this is one of the bad effects of being an addict on playing gambling.

indeed the rhythm of gambling will be like that, if you are lucky you will get a lot of money and vice versa if you lose you will lose instantly, now if you have suffered a loss, you should not try to enter again assuming you can return the lost capital, because 90% of gamblers have the intention like it will end up getting worse.

Yes, I have always lost more in the recovery process. I had always played harder to cover the damage, and the little damage started to snowball. I no longer play in the days I lost.

You would really just realized when its already been done or too late and this had been a common scenario for most gamblers where they do become desperate
when it comes to recovery of their funds as long they do have money into their pocket then that thought on making some recovery or at least breaking even
with your losses would really be there.We would really have those thoughts in mind that if we might able to win on next bet and able to lessen your loss.
This does signify off that you are really just aiming to make money with gambling not on making out some entertainment.

Much better not to continue than to lose more, if you already experienced things like this, more or less you'll be able to choose the right move to take, but for some reason you'll still suffer the same mistake, losing more in the process of trying to cover your losses, better to have limits and stop when you already reach  it, there's no reason to keep trying call  it for the day and accept the defeat.

This very hard to do because most of us gambler tend to follow a strategy which usually requires us to keep playing when we lose. I think one I'd the most common strategies is a martingale approach that would require us to increase our bet everytime we lose. So in theory a big loss could just be recovered with one more bet. But of course this could be the downward spiral that makes us lose even more money. Personally I find myself starting with too large bets initially which makes recovering even more difficult when I have a bad beat.

The biggest nightmare of every gambler is Losing. When you're gambling you're open to two important options, it is a win or loss affair. While you're winning; the bookies are losing. While you're lossing the bookie are winning. The most important factor to take into consideration is "Don't chose your loss", Don't attach emotions to gambling the aftermath could be disastrous. At least you were lucky enough to recover some part of the lost funds. Next time be tactical and calculative to avoid fatal losses.

That was good advice...
Gambling isn't worth dying just to get back what we've lost in the past days. It is better to forget and face the upcoming, but we still then lose, again and again, that is a sign that gambling not meant for us nor we have luck in here. Pushing ourselves to a thing that seems impossible to work for us, it is just like suicide on our ends because in that case the more we possibly lose than to win.

Gambling somewhat addictive not because we always win but it is because we are aiming to recover those losses. And that sad thing is that it keeps the string complete attached to us until we finally make the decision to quit.

Have two choose loss or win but why always when playing gambling then choose one team we lost, another chance have analyze with dice or mines in stake gambling always not lucky and our choose always wrong. When faced this problem keep control emotion is most important than we make bigger betting more, if not stopping we continue for loss more in gambling and not really true after loss more will have recovery and win or lucky in gambling site. I think gambling just when have busy time and I wanna take few minutes in gambling but never serious how to get passive income with gambling because is not true and always lost when make bet although higher amount.

Many people use their emotions in any situation, whether it's winning or lose. If they lose, they will be sad and decide to continue playing gambling, but they will still play gambling if they win. So I think no matter what is happens, they will still playing gambling. If they can recover their lost funds, they hard to stop gambling because they want to make another win. Yes, we need to avoid fatal losses by stopping gambling while we can because that can be the last chance before we lose more money.

Best to realized such things before you fall into heavy addictions, move on and forget what happened instead of trying so hard to recover your loss.

Make a much better assessment we can denied the fact that we are still human and our inside self always wants us to try to win it back.

No way to skip this part, gamblers always feel the needs of playing and keep trying till
they satisfied the needs either lose more or win something and recover back.

When such thing happened,don't give up just continue gambling because that is the sign that you are close to your destination to win the game. It happened to me like 5 time but I never give up on that game until the game turned to my favour that month.

Gambling is just a luck either you win or you loose. Since many game resume after pandemic, it hard me to win any game I no just know why? I came to discover that many players don't play the way they just to play before since some came from isolation center . And the way the match is going now show all my bet Wil surely favour me.

What do you mean by "Don't chose your loss" exactly please?
In every gambling game there is a possibility of losing. A game where you can't lose isn't a gambling game.

There is a misconception especially in playing gambling games, a lot of gamblers thought that skills and knowledge are the most important factors and they do not consider the psychology. The psychology in gambling have a important role and we should consider it if we will put funds to do betting or to play gambling games because mental health is important as physical health. We cannot decide well and cannot formulate good strategy if we do not have awareness on what is in our thoughts and on what we feel. If we lose, I think we should have a mindset that can handle and tolerate huge losses. A mindset that can help us to have good gambling system wherein we have set of rules in order to maximize the gains and above huge losses. Losing in gambling is normal but losing big amount of money is not so we should manage our risk carefully wherein we should not do all in in just one bet. Many gamblers are keep losing because they are focusing on rewards and not to the risks that they can take.

This happens a lot in poker and even in trading as well, if you have a good hand and then you are beaten on the last card by your opponent that made inferior plays you cannot avoid being mad about it, this is why it is important to wait a few hands until you get calmer to keep playing because if you do not then most likely you are going to make bets with the intention of getting your money back immediately and that is never a good thing to do.

We have to learn to not chase the recovery on gambling. We only have to play with money that we are ready to lose, when we lose money that we need and use more money we need for other stuff trying to recover it and lose all then we ruin our lives. We have to play it smart and learn when to take a win and when to take a loss.

These are some basic rules, don't bet more than you can afford to lose, don't try to recover loss with more reckless gambling, don't be greedy and similar. The problem is that many ignore these rules in the passion off the game, especially when trying to recover the loss thinking that just the next game will be the winning one. That usually leads to even bigger loss and at the end you find yourself in a trap.

Thats the problem when you are trying to recover losses in gambling because the more you gamble your losses will just pile up. Don’t treat it like a daily routine and maybe try to focus on other things, your in crypto so definitely there’s better way to multiply your money not just concentrate on gambling.

Recovering gambling will only make matters worse because unwittingly there will be more to lose than winning during gambling, and you should realize that house gambling will always win.
And the ambition to recover from defeat in gambling is tantamount to addiction and must be controlled, playing freely without lust without having to think about recovering losses will be much better and stop when in a winning position and not continue to play which will reverse the situation.

I know this is one of the mistake many gambler make and I have done it quite often on several occasion as well. This desire is actually not difficult to control if we consider losing and winning at gambling to be normal but it will be difficult to control if we cant accept defeat. I've learned some useful tips for controlling my gambling activity and have made gambling a place to have fun.
1. Limit the use of money on gambling.
2. Don't gamble every day and only gamble at certain time.
3. Stop after hitting the winning target and come back at another time.
4. Stop when all the money we used to gamble that day has run out and come back another time.
5. Don't gamble if you are in a bad mood.
6. etc

Strangely, even though most people know that the gambling house will get a profit (or in other words, gamblers play to eventually lose), there are still many people who are still determined to gamble even though they have already lost. I think one of the reasons is most gamblers feel confident that they can recover and be able to turn things around.

For someone who is addicted to gambling, it's hard to control her/his emotions, especially in situations where s/he loses.

Chasing your losses in this instance means, a scenario where someone loses up to 3 BTC and the next minute he is staking 6 BTC on value of 2 odds to recover the lost ones immediately is what I meant. It will definitely end in fatal losses because you're been controlled by an emotion on a revenge spree and it is likely never to yield any meaningful thing. So, whatever you gamble consider it as a lost property or asset to maintain your sanity on the long run.

The immediate reaction to any kind of loss will end up in more failure that is why it is important to analyze the status of us before chasing the bets, better accept the loss and decide that we can make that lost money some other day which is meant to be our day. I never saw people got success who tried to increase their stake once they are on a losing streak so don't take risk of your life.

I don't think losing is actually the biggest nightmare for a gambler. More so is the act of gambling itself which is so addicting to him that he will continue to gamble till every penny is gone. For a gambling addict, the worst scanario is losing all his funds away and having no amount to play!

You are making the right decision. You don't have luck at that, chasing the money that you have lost in the past days will just help you more to lose again. Quitting is the best solution, we don't need to force nor to push ourselves into making another bet that we know that we have no luck this time because the chances of winning are clearly nothing.
I've into that kind of feeling before but if we are desperate enough and continue to gamble, we are just compromising ourselves and it drives to wrong decisions which results in no good.

That will depend how much loss we're talking. If it's a lot of loss and you can't really sleep well because of it then that's sure is a nightmare for some gamblers but it's true that it's not always the biggest nightmare for gamblers. It varies from any given situation that we're facing. Sometimes it's about the withdrawal process that we're happy to see how much we're receiving but in the end there's a problem that's been said by the casino that you're playing with it. And that's a kind of problem that we don't want to happen and can considerably said as a one of the nightmares. But it only happens if there's something wrong with your account that's been found by the casino admins.

Losing more in the process of recovering is a very common happening to everyone. I experience once when I lost 0.15btc in dice and depositing more and eventually losing it all too because of the eagerness to gain back what I lost earlier. I learned my lesson so whenever I lost money and want to deposit more I disregard my wants to recover and aim for enjoyment/thrill when playing and just play with small amount.

Chasing the losses always lead to the same point which we have been there before. It is sad to gamble when I know I shouldn't push my loss limit for recovering the losses but resisting yourself is very hard at these moments. I just block my access to the gambling website after a huge loss because I am sure comeback will be another dip point for me. Understating the truth is ok on my side but accepting it is very hard sometimes. It is better to accept whatever the slots give back and taking the loss will not make anyone loser. Thinking of yourself as a loser and having a losing mindset can change the whole situation and it is better than revenge gambling in all cases. Martingale strategy is on my blacklist exactly for this reason.

I'm also not a person who easily accepts defeat, so I always intend to play gambling to be able to recover from the losses that I experienced.
But if the losses I experience are big enough, I immediately close the gambling sites where I play and immediately do other activities. That way
I can forget about the losses I experienced for a while.

We have the same opinion regarding the martingale strategy, when we are experiencing big losses, don't even think about using the martingale
strategy. Because it will only make you suffer bigger losses, which can drain our capital in an instant. I say this because I have experienced it.

That is the disease of a gambler. It makes someone a chronic gambler. I too try to convince myself that the loss I made in the past are not stackable and I should start fresh. But everytime I feels like I'm winning, those loses hunts me and tricks me to rage. And the more I rage, the more I lose. I sometimes am afraid of myself, I've resisted till date but what if I got so much stupid and gambled away all of my crypto holdings. I did that once on the past but it was not a huge amount.

That's so true. You cannot underestimate the impact of gambling in your life. Gambling losses will really drive you mad and crazy and bring you to a state of despair. This has happened to me a number of times already.

Losing a little amount many times in a row will really change your mindset. Instead of gambling with the same amount, you are driven to extremes just to try to recover quickly what you've lost. This is the moment when you would increase your bet to x3 up to x5 or even all in. That's the end of your reason and money.

The "more" worst scenario than that is, taking a full loan of your asset in check just to be able to satisfy your needs to gamble. This is the worst a gambling addict can do in his career. By this time, it will be a nightmare or heaven for him. So in order to avoid this even if you're addicted, take in mind that you need to gamble for the next months, so you need to have a reserve funds for this. And this will make yourself kinda calm and take the day off.

Totally not a fan of martingale strategy or whatever strategy is on the internet. When I play dice I usually just manually betting and letting my instincts and feelings decide when at what odds to bet in sounds strange, Yes but that method works for me most of the time and beat me up a lot of times too haha. I don't believe in such strategy on dice betting.

Just like what you did, after i lost a lot of money on my recovery process i manage to stop for a week and resume playing and it really helps me to recover. Maybe we need a rest when we are gambling because if we get addicted to it and doesn't stop playing, our way of thinking and game play will also get ruined. It is better if we have a scheduled date or time to gamble so that we can help ourselves to maintain our way of thinking and it will also help us to have enough time for our family.

Stop for a week will help you to reduce the tension of playing gambling. You will have another chance to recover your losses in the next week, but I don't know if your lucky will come to you and help you to recover the losses. I always take a break after playing gambling, no matter if I lose or win, because I want to rest and not think about the gambling games. It will refresh our mind in the next week, and we can enjoy playing gambling. Making a schedule will be better, so we can manage when we play gambling and do other things.

If you do have a good control or self-discipline such things will not happen as you know what your limit is and also in gambling winning is not always possible. So, with that you would not play for recovery as chances of winning against house edge is less of players as compared to gambling sites. This makes us lose money more than winning it.

Having set limits would be nicer to set you back from your loss. Having a predetermined amount of funds for the month can give you a nicer look at your personal economic status. Yes, time can make you less aggravated for gambling for a specific amount of time, but still won't set you back to lose. Aside from that week's time out, you can try to do my 3 rounds pause rule after I lose for consecutive rounds.  You can also take a bathroom break or smoke break, anything that can release your tension, and make your mind reset to normal will do.

That is one "skill" that needs to be practiced more often by all gamblers but sadly have the difficulty doing. You need the mental state that is at par with the best successful gamblers out there who can take loss and move on to strategize the next game. If you lose you stop and do not pursue it further, many times it will fail you. Many of us including me have learned it the hard way. Hundreds if not thousands of dollars were initially lost because of lack of the proper mental state. And you just have to learn out of it and start strategizing your next game.

You wont realize until you had it experienced and majority of us did really pass into this kind of situation.Some do able to realize themselves and some do still stick into this kind of behavior on where being impulsive
wouldnt really give out something good. Control isnt really something that can be attained but there are people including me which can really make out control even if im not really engaging into gambling for long time.
It isnt necessary to lose thousands of dollars before you do able to realize. Few bets would be enough.Its just a matter of self-acceptance and a little bit of adjustment on what you do believe towards
gambling. Dont chase up loses and play for enjoyment and this should how majority do think of.

Never intend to recover losses, this is the point. Not a few people prove that recovering losses is the wrong way because it can add to the problem as well as bigger losses. I have read several user replies and are confident enough that recovering losses is not recommended. This is the old way that most gamblers still think about function, consciousness will only arise after they really have nothing. Take it easy for a moment, betting responsibly because it will really help control the various problem that may arise in gambling.

Whenever I lose my game, I also stop for a few days or a week to refresh. I don't usually do what other gamblers like recovering their losses and try to make more $$ after having a lose streak. This is to avoid having more losses since it is not a good idea to play more if you have losing streak in just a day.

If you only plan to recover what you've lost in a game then you should not play any gambling game at the first place so you will not lose any.
The process of recovering your lost fund is painful process because you can lost much higher in long term if you continue having that or in debth if you  continue to play with your emotions.

This happened to me before I am betting on a sports betting site I have some credits around $300 and I lost on some teams and ended up with a less than a $60
and I was thinking of recovering it by adding $250 but at the end of the day my bankroll was swept away and lose it all.

ya.ya.yo!

yo , that 60 dollars was still a decent amount and you shouldnt have deposited extra 250 before you lost that 60 dollar left because number 1 , that 60 dollar can make a long way . you can recover and lost ( makes you contented and wont depo for more )  or number 2 ,  you can recover and win at the end  but if you depo imediately , this will make you bet in a bigger amount and the new depo will loose easily . i knew alot of gamblers that made a miracle , that includes myself where you only left with a tiny balance but that tiny balance keeps on winning until you reach your starting capital . i stop and dont play when that moment happens .

it really depends on your luck i've been doing this since before there are times that i lost more in the process of recovering my losses but there are times that i am making more profit so i guess it still depends on luck but in my experience i mostly lose more rather than recovering my fund.

Setting limitations will help us not run out of all funds that we use for playing gambling, especially if we can set the limits for a month. We don't have to break the limits that we made before, which can prevent us from using more money to gamble. But that will not work if you don't discipline yourself, especially if you lose all of that funds before the month is ending. I admit that if we lose some money in gambling, it could make us curious about the loss, and there is a chance for us to add more money to continue playing. But if we can take a break or stop for a while from gambling after we lose, it will help us reduce the tension in our minds and reset to normal.

if you have the courage and guts believing that you will recover your losses go for it! but most of the time it didn't work and much better to accept that you lose rather than trying to recover it i assume most of the new bettors and players always experience this, i experienced this on my first days or months of betting.

Lol you are chasing your losses everytime?this is not the right way to treat gambling mate because the more you chase is the more losing you may get.

it is rare situation that you can take home winning after the chase,because upon my experience?it is a 80/20% chances losing/ winning .

so I think when you think that losing enough?better go home for a while and try your luck tomorrow or the day next.

The gambler who never feels hurt is the one who knows when to stop even if he/she loses.  The thing that makes me sick until now when I remember what happened in the past (when I was still addicted to gambling) was to force myself when I lost gambling that day and then sell all the valuables I had, whereas if I had stopped at that point and continued playing gambling the next day then I wouldn't have had to sell any valuables I had..

For me setting limitation is good but still it is not enough, what gamblers should focus in the mastery of the art of discipline and also the art of risk management. Gambling can give us high rewards, but it can also give us huge losses especially if we just betting without conviction. The art of discipline that I'm talking about is conditioning ourselves that there is no sure profit or guarantee winning in gambling, all of the strategy and all of games have risks even though it can give high returns. When I do gambling, I really know that there are 4 possibilities which are winning big, winning small, losing small and losing big but I usually avoid losing big because it can affect my psychological capital that can cause for me to stress and made more wrong decision. Losing is normal as long as it is small but I do not consider it as normal if you are consistently losing in gambling. Those professionals gamblers are really discipline when they do gambling and it is the reason why they have high winning rate.

Recovering our loses is a hard job, harder that winning based on my experience, so what I do is I just let go of my loses and still continue gambling.
The thing is, if we put that as a burden, we will continue to chase until the time will come that we will not get the entertainment value anymore.

This is very frightening in a gambler. If he will always think about having the courage and guts to chase his losses, then he'll never win and will lost more of his money. Not having any fear means you're marching in bankruptcy, leaving you no money in your pocket since you're not afraid of losing because your goal is just to chase your losses alone. Sometimes, it's important to have a backup plans instead your Plan A went berserk.

Don't just blindly walk to gambling's trap. You also need to stop to breathe and think for a better decisions.

You have to accept that and move forward.

People who take this burden always become greedy, there's time that instead of quitting with some decent profits in the back of their minds they will try to push more and bet more trying to recover everything.
Not good at all, as results mostly doomed instead of having some it will turns out to lose more since you continue to proceed and play more.

That's why i really hate to pursue my lose becasue in the process of recovering i always get hurt the more. Though this depends on the luck as you have rightly said. IMO, pursuing loses sometimes come with greater loss as many have acknowledged but personally i don't go after my lose as my lose doesn't come all the time.

It is not a mistake to pursue your loss. But always make sure that you are not being greedy and with every loss you are learning something. That's the problem with many, when they lost a lot, they want to take their loss back right away, they are not thinking of losing streaks. While the best thing to consider in that situation is to cool down, rest, and think. Remember that in a day, we are playing with the funds we afford to lose, and breaking this limitation could lead us to a never-ending pathway of being bankrupt.

Setting limitations is part of risk management because that can help you to avoid a big loss. If you can stick to the limit, you made before and have discipline, and I am sure you don't have to be afraid to lose too much money because you will remember your limit and not try to break it. What you said is part of the limitations because you avoid losing big. If you avoid losing big, that could mean you only use small money to gamble, which is part of the limitations that I mention. If you can discipline and know the money you use to gamble, you can avoid losing big, and you have your chance to win, although it is not too big.

Luck is factor but for me luck is being created and we can have it through studying and gaining a lot of experiences. People thought that recovering money in gambling is just luck, but in reality it takes determination to regain all of the losses that a gambler incurred before. People want to be lucky but they do not want to make a move for them to gain luck. As I said, luck is being created and we can have it through trusting the process. I also lose in gambling before but I trust my process and here I' am now, I finally regain all of my losses and I now consistently making gains in a lot of online casino out there.

Sorry but what is that?Luck is being created?of whom and how?Luck comes from no one and it is randomly coming to us.
without being expected it will just drop a win for the deserving one.
Do you really gamble?do you really know what are you talking here?if this is indeed then all the addicted gamblers will be Billionaire by now since they are the ones who has tons of experiences?
never that i will agree on these words mate,because even how hard you try yet Luck will not just come there,it cannot be studied instead it will happen in timing.

Having the principle of probability will reduce your risk on gambling. It's not just about luck, it takes a lot of experience and research on how to get the chances of winning. There is always a science even in gambling. You can't really win all the time, but atleast make a way to reduced and minimise your lost.

And we have the discipline in first 5-10 minutes, how we play we get excited with our wins/losses, things start to get hot, and of course staying disciplined becomes hard! It's one of the reasons we like to gamble, excitement we get from that! Staying disciplined is possible sometimes, with sports betting it's easier to stay disciplined that with some fast games where you are active from the moment you start! Discipline is good for everything you do, but I think just rare people are truly disciplined in their life activities, and with gambling even fewer people than that, which is normal in some way, many of us like to gamble and to relax with gambling, we know how much money we have, and we wish to enjoy our time, too much disciple can ruin the experience, in that situation fun becomes a job, and I don't like that!

That's the problem of most newbie they are always play in emotion and they can't control their self thats why more of them lost a lot in the first try.

If you know you lost a lot and it's hard for you to recover it, then better luck next time maybe it's not your lucky day and do gamble again in the next day to repel bad luck.

I'm sure some of the gamblers have that kind of experience once in their journey as a gambler, sometimes we are pretty much attach with our emotion so we are prone to making mistakes. Recovering everything we lose is still possible though, but it cannot be done overnight, hence, one should have a plan on how to make it possible and has to be done consistently in a span of time.

You are right on what you've said, you need to bet what you are afford to lose, but the thing is we should move forward after this failures, because if we don't, it will only make us frustrated and will keep up on regretting. I remember last time I lost 3eth I think in trading, it hurts yes  but we need to move on, and make it grow again so that we can play or trade again in good shape with healthy mindset.

The technique is very simple, be professional on what you do because if you get too emotional, that will add more risk on you as a gambler and when you don't think right, most likely you will lose, and not only that, you will lose more than you can afford to lose.

why? because you didn't follow the game plan, instead, you let your emotion dictates you.

emotions in gambling is worth having but the Good side and not the Sad part because this will bring you losses since decisions may take sideways.
And there is many gamblers specially newbies in which fell on this situation when they are longing for their games with eagerness and Heavy heart.
So this wont help us at all,stop doing such.

This all comes down to having self-control. The best gambler knows when to gamble more and when to stop. Truth be told, these gambling sites are happy to see you losing, so they definitely won't help you and may even go against your odds sometimes. So might as well take the initiative of learning how to control yourself and basing things on logic instead of emotions.

It is really annoying to lose while you are trying to recover the amount you lost before. But it is the nature of betting. If you lose control and don't know when to stop, you will probably keep losing. If you really want to recover the amount you lost, you should know when to take a break and play logically.

Self-control is one of the important things that every gambler must-have. When the gambler can not stop when they lose but continue playing for more rounds, that can lead them to have another loss, and that can make them lose everything. If you want to recover your losses, you will get that will not be easy because your losses will be bigger.

As long as you can control yourself, you can control your emotion, and that can impact to managing your money in gambling. Recovering your losses itself will need more money which you can not always succeed to get your money back. So maybe you need to think twice before you try to recover your money.

It depends way more on simply how long have you been gambling, it is true that you can recover your money after a big loss which is why so many people try but if you do this enough times and for an enough long term then your losses are going to be massive, a classic example of this is martingale, many people like martingale because the chances that you lose so many times in a row seems to be minuscule but if you gamble for long enough then the chances that you lose rise to the point of making it a mathematical certainty.

Many people will recognize that. When it comes to innocent amounts, it doesn't matter that much. often it starts with innocent amounts, and the limit is gradually increased and then the consequences are incalculable.
It's best to take some time out after a loss, but that's easier said than done.

I do this not in gambling alone but also in trading as well and it causes me to lose so much money. This is why I put myself some sort of limit in the crypto world, if I end up gambling I just put a certain amount of money there and consider that money gone and never care if I lose, if I end up winning that is even better.

Sometimes I want to trade and I put some money in there and whatever I put in, I assume 50% is already gone, and that is how I trade because even if I lose half, that is still fine and I stop there. If you do not chase the loss and just go into gambling with "all of it gone" mindset, like you have spent the money to have some fun gambling instead of thinking like there is a chance you could actually make a profit, that would allow you to be a lot better whatever the outcome is.

true, i experienced that and not just me, even two of my friends and we have talked about it before, and it's worse thing you can do in gambling
is trying to recover what you lost right away, but even though we talked about it and said that we should not do it, we found ourselves once
again trying to recover what we lost and ending up losing everything.

You know that if you try to recover your losing money will not give you a chance to get the money back, but you will lose more money.
It is very difficult if you try to do that because if you against the house.
The house will take your money until you are running out of the money.
But they will give you another bonus if you deposit more money, just to try to recover your losses before.
If you get tempted by getting the bonus, you will not realize that is the way to lose your money.
The only way that you can do is manage your money, and don't lose all of the money in one day because you will need to deposit more money in the other day.
So maybe you can try to deposit some money that will be used for a week or a month.

yeah dude, i thought so too, i am not currently gambling but i will keep that in mind, to be honest i don't think i would go back to it since
i lost a lot because of it, i think the best thing to use in gambling is trying to double your bankroll once a month or something, you will lose for sure
if you keep gambling everyday, it's really addictive, possible winnings you can get is so tempting.

It is better to save bitcoin and altcoin because the crypto market increases and decreases every day, so that can give us a chance to make a profit.
We can still playing gambling, but only with limitations because that is what we can do to avoid the big loss.
I don't advise to double your bankroll if you can not win in gambling because that can make you lose more than you can imagine.
It is very difficult if we are addicted to gambling because we will forget about the limitations and saving the coin for other purposes.
I am sure we don't want to see a big loss in gambling, and that is why we always use some money that we can afford to lose if we are going to play gambling.

Bet platforms presents every possible outcomes to you so, you can make your choices, that pretty much puts their fates in your hands but then, they have a string that they pull and you will release that date and put it in their hands of which they are very much good at controlling. That string is the price on winnings. Possible outcomes comes with a much smaller odds although, these odds are not always sure but, when they pull this string, your greed comes to play and you find yourself accumulating more games to increase your winning amount and in that instance, your already lossing as you can't be so perfect in all predictions.
Next thing you know, you try to recover lost funds, your best bets are gone and so, you tend to manage the available which comes with less and less possible probability for a win and so, you keep loosing. It's all a trick of your betting habits.

Yes, in anything we do in life, we need quality mindset for it, we need to know certain laws that will benefit us, in betting, it is very important for punters not to think of their losses, people thinking of recovering back their losses means they use money they can not afford to lose, and if punter is using the money they can not afford to lose, this kind of a poor mindset builds up, leading to addiction. As we all know that addiction will only worsen the whole thing, making the punter to lose the more in a way gamblimg becoming a problem for him.

But if you are just doing to gamble and gamble again for the purpose of chasing you lose money back to you, you are making yourselves out of the journey.  No matter how many times to gamble but you are still losing. It is in the quality mindset not to gamble because of that reason but due to making out fun and just a pleasure. Gambling is just entertainment, we don't have to consider this as another source of income otherwise, you'll be left nothing.

That is the reason why casinos aren't going bankrupt.
Just have a very huge amount of money, build a casino and let the gamblers gamble in your casino.

That is the nature of gambling like you said. Whatever happens, there will be some gamblers who will gamble again after losing their first capital and the cycle will continue until they ran out of money. You will not recover your lost money if you will take a break and play logically. What you need to do if you lost your money is to just move on.

Though trading is so different from gambling.

You could lose 3 eth in trading but that would happen in a period of time while in gambling, you could lose the same amount instantaneously. Gamblers should not chase after their losses, as you all said that would just lead to more losses or lead to suicide bets. Better prioritize your things and don't let your emotion run just because you lose, you should also remember that when you are gambling, you should account for yourself losing that money.

Well, the more that we are putting our money in these risks, the higher the risks are and it is not new that most of the people gambling in a long time have a lot of losses than their wins but I agree that this might be based on luck or may be based on the strategy that they are using or doing. Still, the more you chase after a loss, the more you will have that losses.

I think only a handful of gamblers will be able to recover their loss, those who are indeed lucky. But luck will not come every time, if they still try to repeat the same things, then in the end, they could quickly run out of money.

Some people who addicted to gambling, sometimes still trying to get money for gambling even though their savings have run out by looking into debt, selling their important belongings and assets, and the most worrying thing is that problem gamblers try to get money by stealing or robbing just to be spent at the gambling table.

Some gamblers didn't get it instead they will keep playing even though there isnothing left in their pocket. Kinda weird but it usually happens to offline casinos. I can't really imagine it to myself doing that and I'm not really addicted to become blindly to see the reality.

We can't stop this kind of attitude, many were still living that hopeless thing and chase to recover their losses in a less possible.
Anyway, that's their life and they will keep gambling no matter how much they lose just for the chase.

Forgetting the losses that have occurred will make you relax and calm when playing again, and if you are ambitious when playing just to recover losses will only make your game messy and out of control and will make you lose again.
You have to realize because the longer you play gambling, the more you lose than win, so if you intend to play gambling just to recover losses it will be useless because when you play everything on your mind you win and it will mess up your game.

It is hard to forget our losses especially when it is big amount of money but what else can we do right? if we really really want to gamble we should learn how to move on, and learn from this mistake so that we can play without regrets and we can think and focus in the game which is very needed. But losing more money to recover? it is not normal, we need to change our style, but rest first so that you will be okay and you may formulate new things.

I think we should stop when the series of failures begins! Just to do other things. It always helps to avoid wrong actions... For example, in trading or betting on sports I have repeatedly stopped my attempts to win back money... It's better to pause and come back another time!

Maybe that was the best decision of most people, but I'm sure there are still people out there who always succeed when making a recovery. There may be a specific way or strategy to be able to make a successful recovery in gambling, but for me personally as long as you can play with a wise mindset, maybe it will help you bet with even better control. It cannot be confirmed, because it has to do with luck and therefore, when we realize that luck is at the right time and we realize it, then I think it would be better to use it to make a recovery.

The recovery will not be possible in most of the time because gambling starts with more investment but when it's going forward we lost some money to recover this money we invest less amount only that's why we are not getting profits

that is exactly what happened to me, most of the time when i lost, i tried to recover right away, i was gambling on sports and to be more
specific, football, and whenever i lose a bet, i try to recover in live events, which is so tempting because it won't take a whole day to get the
result, instead it's about 30 min, i hope i don't fall in this trap again.

Usually, when people bet for a very long time, they are bound to get a lot of losses rather than winning or taking back their losses. Some do get their losses but their mistakes is going back to bet again and creating another losses that puts them in the loop. That is where people would just aim to take their losses not knowing how much money they needed to regain to stop gambling.

The chance to recover the losing money in gambling will not be too big because, in gambling, your chance to lose more money will be big, so that will not be possible to recover your money. If you still decide to play gambling after losing, you will never know how much money you will lose again. If you want to make money from gambling, you will feel that it is difficult because gambling is not designed to make money. Perhaps, you can play gambling without thinking about recovery your lost money in gambling, and it's better to enjoy the gambling games.

Some people think it is easy.

They don't know that taking back their losses won't be that easy as they think of. Gambling might be that kind of game that would give you a result instantaneously but that doesn't mean that it can give back your losses or give you wins at the same speed, don't forget that it can also give you more losses at the same rate.

This is something not many people mention but it is significant, after you gamble or trade for some time and you have a bad day you will have the tendency to get that money back on your next trade or roll of a dice and that is when massive losses are accumulated, so whenever you feel that way and you are having those thoughts that is the moment in which you need to get up from your seat and do something else for the rest of the day and such a simple measure will save you a fortune over the long term.

that's what we need to do, we need to move on when we lose and keep our cool, we get upset when we lose a bet, especially if we lose
with something that we find ridiculous, we need for sure to keep calm and move on.

The instant result will be winning or losing, but the loss will be the biggest result that people can get. So if you play longer in gambling because you want to get back your losses, the chance will be less than 50%. Perhaps, you can just accept the loss that you get without thinking about recovery. It is not worth it if you are losing more money just because that is a recovery process because you know that recovery from gambling will not give you a big chance. Forget your loss, don't chase your money's back, and remember that you need to control yourself.

For sure every gambler like me who also experience that whenever we experiencing consecutive losses, our inner self telling us to bet more in order to regain the losses that we incurred. The more losses that we have, the high possibilities that we are eager to gamble more. For me that feeling is what we should avoid because if we experience 5 or more consecutive losses; then it only means that there is something wrong with our strategy. For me rest is a must especially when I have red days or consecutive losses in betting. I can recover my losses if I'm in the mood, gamblers are usually do not consider their current emotion without knowing that their emotion can lead to feelings and it can lead to action.

I don't too feel bad when I start experiencing such lost in my gambling, it make me to put more effort to that particular game that is making me to lose my money.  Few days ago, I lose to a particular game that am use to over 3 year, which it hard me to lose but at yesterday I just decided to increase the money of my gambling, so that I can recover all my lost back, but  was a bad market for me. I feel bad but I will not go to stop gambling because it keep me busy sometime.

A gambler who has that experience will not continue playing gambling and risk more money because they have the losses before, and they know what will happen to them. They will stop playing gambling, take a rest, or even they will stop gambling on that day. If that gambler doesn't have much gambling experience, he will feel difficult to stop gambling, and even he will playing gambling longer to recover his losses.

That gambler doesn't know that losing more to recover his money will not work, but he will lose more money. Perhaps, control our emotions will be better, no matter if we are on the winning or losing side, to act based on the situations. No matter if we use a different strategy, if we are losses more than 5 times, we can lose more without we realize.

Win or loss are the two elements of any gameplay. In gambling, you may lose and your funds can be lost. After losing your money, it is simple to be triggered for next win to recover. To recover, you are going to play again with the disturb mind then you may lose again as I believe. That's why, you may lose more in the process to recover.

Most of time this happen to newbie in gambling as they lost some money they try to recover and this process give them really bad shock because its not a usual business and in this process they mostly some good amount even many fail and go to default which create more problems for them so my best tip is never try to do this just try to play with your fix funds and if lost then take time or if you not able then leave this because its best for any one.

It's more on your own will to avoid it but more people continue to suffer as twist between being entertained and winning or recovering your money already changed everything inside this activity.

You are right with human natural reactions, trying to win back all those previous loses such a  nuts but it's really happening, gamblers won't just quit and accept that it take time to control this and not everyone can.

it doesn't just happen to newbie because gamblers who have experienced will still get this kind of error again and again. I don't understand, maybe they think something like this is a challenge so they keep trying to make recovery even though it's hard to achieve

No matter if we are a newbie or experienced gambler, we will play more gambling games to recover our loss. When they think that is a challenge, they will not have a chance to hold their money because the tension will be higher, and it can make them use all-in of their money. But that will happen only if we don't have good control for ourselves, so we can lose more to recover the losing money. That is not good for losing more money in gambling to recovering your losses because you will only lose more money.

While newbies are more prone to fall into this trap the truth is that anyone can fall in this kind of behaviour especially if you are in a psychical casino and you are too intoxicated to think clearly, during my life I have seen this too many times, and while after suffering such losses many people say that they will never do it again for the most part this is not true and the same keeps happening to them, to me the most simple explanation of why this is the case has to do with the fact that it is difficult to control our emotions and losing money especially money you were not expecting to lose can be very hard and people instead of accepting their mistake decide to keep gambling with the hope of recovering it.

Newbies are the most prone for this thing but those who are professionals when it comes to gambling may also have this kind of experience. Since they are professionals, they know what to do, others are continuing until they regain their money and others are stoping for a mean while to rest their mind and re continue the gambling to regain their money. Continuing to gamble even if you are losing on a recovery process doesn't make you addicted. Gambling addicts are addicted because they win a lot.

You are right, I also believe that people need to be able to stop in time. If you have lost a lot of money in gambling, you need to stop trying to get back at it. This will not lead to anything good. You will lose even more.
I advise you to determine for yourself before the game the amount after the loss of which you will say STOP and stop the game.

If you don't know how to control yourself or you do not have a string of winning run don't ever think of trying to recover your losses, do not sit and think that you can recover your losses before you sit down and make a bet, there is already a very strong pressure to win and that pressure will keep you from thinking the right way on how to bet, you can make the right bet without feeling the pressure, because that's how to get entertained in gambling no pressure whatsoever.

Many gamblers think that they can recover their losses, even if they already lose money before. The tempt of gambling always attracts them to back playing gambling, which makes them lose control over themselves, and of course, they are losing more money. Perhaps, they can sit down for a while and take a deep breath to realize that they don't have a big chance to recover their losses. The pressure and the tension in gambling will become bigger in that time between stop and continue playing gambling, and in this matter, they really need to have control for themselves.

never get emotional when playing I know you want to win back your losses but if you play with your emotional status is not stable, it will only result in more losses, take a break, clear your mind, and forget what happened, getting emotional make a lot of regrets for those people who gamble, play only a few bucks if you win then walk away, the same thing when you lose

It's rare for a gambler to come back and try to recover what he losses, you can't do that recovering your losses just happened it is not planned and can be planned sometimes you got lucky and you realized that, you are winning and you recovered your losses, the best thing to do when this things happen is to pack up stop and enjoy your winnings.

That is not rare. Most of the gamblers have that spirit of recovering after taking a loss, huge or small losses. It is normal to see gamblers that are reacting like that because we want to come back and recovery as much as we can.

How can you enjoy your wins if you've been taking a loss? no one can stop a gambler if he wants to recover just after those losses.

stopping and packing when winning sounds easy but many gamblers just can't do it...
if every gambler did this there would be no more cases where a gambler committed a crime or pawned his belongings for the sake of gambling. what happens most often to gamblers when they win big on the same day is they are too confident their luck will not run out, after continuing, they have unconsciously lost big.

Most of the time! and the bad thing is they'll lose the capital and force to deposit more thinking that they'll be able to win it back and
recover both the capital and the previous winnings.

This sentiments are always present and many other stories from gamblers who suffered more insted of enjoying, to the point that they
also go and lend money in the process of recovering their losses.

That's right, if you are having a hard time on winning and you are just experiencing continues losses then probably take a break first and think about it if you will be able to sit again and gamble for the next round. Many players are so inconsistent when they are playing it is because they are emotional whenever they are experiencing a heavy lose. Just a tip brother, if you really want to earn profit then just relax whenever you play so that a calm mind may help you to resolve every rounds that is coming.

After losing money once you tried and get recovered your money is a big thing here. Because, my friend can not recover his money rather than he lose more in the process to recover the previous losses. So, it is risky thing for us to be triggered again for recovery without knowledge.

You know what they say, you win some and you lose some. This will serve as a lesson but at least your not that kind of man that would rage because of losing. Although for me, I would instantly stop if I at least see my profit from my gambling since I'm not a high roller. Some guys are only playing to waste time and some people are playing because they wanted to earn.

Nobody will want to gamble to waste his/her time, if they can predict the future and know they will lose, then they will not gamble. Many people or most people that gamble play because they want to earn. But in the process when someone has lost already, he needs to just stop gambling at that point because he will be filled with bad/poor mindset that will be tempting him to gamble the more, and this is the period people are more vulnerable to losses.

The temptation of gambling will attract him to still playing gambling, especially if he losses the money. When someone doesn't have the power to control himself, he will still play gambling without thinking about the side effect that he can get. If he plays gambling from a long time ago, I don't think that he can directly stop gambling for a while to rest because the passion of curiosity will be there, making him continue playing gambling. The other thing that can make him continue gambling is because he wants to recover his losses before.

Perhaps, that is why we need to use gambling to kill time if we don't have another thing to do. Playing gambling is no problem for us, but we need to know when to stop gambling, so we don't lose more money. But don't even think to recover your losses because that will be too difficult.

When such thing happened to me, I don't give up at the moment than to give myself courage not to give up for the losses. It pain when someone loss like 3 to 4 times with a big amount of money to bet the game and the end no single profit come out. When gambler start to they experience those things show that your surprise is very close to you,  that will make you recover all your losses in the gambling.

That's the reason why most gamblers lose it all in the end and why we are at a net loss in total! It makes no sense to chase losses since every bet is independent of the previous bets and hence if we just chase our losses then in long run we will lose because even after covering all losses, we will stay greedy to chase more and more!

When we gamble we always keep in mind that percentage to lose a bet is higher than our chance to win. Well if you’re lucky and if you think you think you already made good profits then stop gambling and enjoy your winnings but if you’re goal is to recover your losses then expect the worst.

Yes, they tend to rush into things and always try to take all their losses back. Which is not really the solution and what we should do when we gamble. Their emotion is the primary reason why they get into such situation, they keep on pushing themselves going further and trying to bet everything they have until they satisfy themselves, and most of the time, until they lose everything.

This is the problem to most of gamblers I know. They are thinking that it is their win, that they should stop and go home. I agree that they should stop but that is not their win, they are just taking back their losses. They took back the money they lost, how is that a win? You win bets maybe, but the money? It is not a win.

You better and should give up actually.
There is a limit for you when things have become worse than what you can expect l.
I mean when you have lost too much and getting into a deep debt , that moment you should never motivate yourself to chase what you have lost.
And simply give up instead.

If we have a tally of our losses vs winning, no doubts that we can see more on losses. That is why I'd stop doing that, instead, I forget everything I'd lose before and never chase it. Because the more we think about our losses, the more we are badly affected and don't stop chasing that money.

I'm enjoying gambling, it doesn't matter if we lose or win but at least, we are giving ourselves to educate sometimes and to know that gambling is not a thing that could make us millionaire just like how the others think. I think I'm winning already ;D.

I agree. The truth of the matter is that gambling is making millionaires poor more than they make poor millionaires. That is the reality. We are somehow conditioned by the news all around about lucky gamblers who end up creating a wealth out gambling.

I cannot count the times when I read news of lucky individuals winning lottery jackpots and making millions out of them. What the news do not write much about are sad experiences of wealthy individuals who became poor because of gambling.

When he loses money more than 4 times, he better stops and gives up and tries to playing gambling on the other days. The emotion will become high when he loses that to attract him to lose more money. If he decides to get debt from other people, that will make the worst situations, especially if he has already lost his money. Losing more money to expect to make money will not be good, even if he has gambling skills because gambling is not the way to make money. Giving up will be the best way for him to stop playing gambling for a while and calm down the emotion.

Perhaps, after calm down for a while, it can give him a better chance to win the gambling games.

Planning can go to waste if we will not master the art of self discipline. Before I gamble my money, I make sure that I have plans wherein I know when to continue or when to stop in order for me to be prepared in worst scenarios that I can encounter. My plans will depend on what type of gambling games that I will play, for example in sports betting; I have a maximum of 5 consecutive losses in it,  so if I lose 5 consecutive days; I will punish myself by not doing any betting in 1 week. In that way I can handle my frustration and I can heal any psychological damages.

When it comes to slot, my maximum consecutive losses are base on the amount of the dollar that I can lose which is $100, if I lose that money in just 1 day, I have a mandatoty rest that can last upto 2 weeks. That discipline is rewyires especially if we want to recover and regain our past losses.

That is so true.

Although it might not be true to most people that are gambling still, people should just all forget that they are gambling to get those losses or to win more money since we all know we are bound to lose in gambling no matter what.

It is what it is but we cannot remove the fact that there are lucky gamblers. They gamble as if they want to win and luckily winning the jackpots.
In that case, they have recovered and won money too.

Yeah, I think that will be good if we can have self-discipline because we can stick to our plan, and we can stop based on the plan, and we can avoid losing much money. I like what you did to yourself. You have the discipline to yourself with having a maximum number of losses that you can avoid, and you also give punishment to yourself when you get the maximum losses. I see that you have good discipline for yourself, and I am sure you can handle yourself in gambling games.

I am sure many of us have a way to prevent more gambling losses because we know that gambling can not become a source of income, and gambling is just for fun. When we lose in gambling because we want to recover, it will not help us recover, but we will lose more money.

Well, the more you are thinking to recover your lost fund is the more you encounter disappearing your assets in the gambling platform.
Until you will realize that you have nothing left in your pocket dude, that's what gambling all about to all the gamblers, it may sound not good for us but true.

Its indeed a scenario that most gamblers can relate. I experience the same thing as well in dice, thats my favorite game to play online. We know dice is a game of luck regardless of your strategy, there's no assurance to win.

I usually play with the free satoshis of the site where I play but if im in the mood, I deposit a small amount to somehow enjoy the game. Sometimes I get tempted to deposit again if I lose consecutively and its the beginning of much unfortunate situation.

Though im already used to it, somehow its frustrating to think that you lost your money that easily and no one to blame but yourself.

It is really common to see many people losing more money while trying to recover. I had some periods like that too. I learned something from it. The most important thing is not being greedy. When you lose the control, greed can cause you make stupid bets and lose much more money. You should always keep that in mind when betting.

It finds it so easy to say but really hard to execute IRL. That does not wonder why many were still become blind and thinking to spend more every time they gamble will able to help them recover their losses. Nothing to holds that but that is very important and to open our eyes that there is no way to have them back.
The more we think about it, the more we become desperate and can't make good decisions. One thing we need to practice is to accept losses and never think that we can get them back into our hands.

Yes but there were some instances wherein the user can recover and even won more than his previous losses or in other term take profit but I think it is still depends on the users luck but I'm pretty sure greediness will bring you bad luck.

This is very difficult to do for a great deal of people because for the most part they play for the thrill that gambling produces in them, they like the emotions, they like the fact of feeling incredibly excited when they are earning money and whether they recognize it or not they also like the fact that when they're losing money they are feeling terrible about it, so it's really difficult to ask those persons to control their emotions when that is precisely what they do not want, the problem with it is that those kind of people for the most part will eventually lose all their money to the casino.

Yes but it is needed to rest for awhile, for me do not play until you are not yet recover I mean when you are still regretting that you have so much losses i think you should stop that and start to think and to move forward because as much as you think about it you will only get so much possibility to lose, so do not play and lost more.

Clear your minds so you'll think properly, why are we surprise of losing when that is normal in gambling?

If we have that kind of mentality all the time, then I would say we will be having some problem in the long run because we don't know how to manage our emotion, hence our bankroll management will be affected and most likely regrets will come in the end.

I believe that the more we seek for recovery is the more addictive we become,We starts to lose our temper and control and what runs in our mind is a desire of winning back the losses and gather even more in which I think is over reacting and expectation.

let us have a designated amount everytime we wanna gamble so even if we lose that amount we can easily accept and stop that point.

But if you continuously compute your losses then the chase to win back will always our first target that will affect our decisions in playing.

Those gamblers who borrows money are desperate but it's not a good move. Lose your money but don't lose others money even if you have borrowed it.
Several times I've read gamblers who have done that and lost a lot instead of recovery.

Most common scenario is that those gamblers will experience even more losses and would really be drown into deep debt.Its not really ideal to take a loan
to someone just because you are planning to take those losses back or trying to break even because you will definitely worsen up the situation even more.

That's why we always keep on saying that gambling were totatally a risk taking without having a 60% chance of assurance that you will going to win from this kind of game of fortune. It were already given that once you decide to enter a gambling just keep in mind that you will either lose or win with this but sometimes losing option were the favourite spot of a rolling roullete to pinpoint in the game of life of gambling. But despite of this fact people were keep on being engaged in this track.

Taking a loan because of wanting to play gambling and getting the lost money back will not be a good idea. Just imagine that gambling will not give you a big percentage to win, and if you lose the money you borrow, how can you pay back the money? That will cause you the other problem.

If we lost more money because we think that it is the process of recovering, then you might change what you think because gambling will not let you recover your losses, and gambling will get all of your money.

That can't be helped because that's their last resort, or it's what you called out of nowhere decision fed up by your excitement or greediness to take back what you have lost. A lot of these happened to all of the gamblers, most of them succeeded in their plan but most of them failed. After a lost in gambling doesn't really need a quick response to take revenge, in fact, you need to take a break to cool your engine.

A mad mind won't ever let you win in gambling, because you'll lost your mind in the process having too much thoughts about what you've lost in gambling, whether if you can take it back or not.

Personally, it would be, somehow, same with what you did. I'll try to recover my funds even just a little. Funny, I often say here that we should never chase our losses but when we are on the situation where we're on the verge of losing it all, there's really the tendency to bet further in hope to win and gain once more.

But that doesn't and won't work all the time, right? That's the reality of gambling. Some things aren't that predictable and there's no guarantee that we will win the next time around. Best thing we could do I guess, is to remain mindful and let things go as it has been. We could still gain our losses; maybe not in gambling, but through another way.

What are the odds a gambler could win a jackpot?

And usually, these jackpots are from luck-based games like dice and roulettes. I don't know how lucky they are but I don't think in that long period of gambling every month will be destined for them to win jackpots to recover those losses they made. Another thing is that it could also make the gambler's habit worse since he thinks he could win another jackpot hence adding more possibilities that he could win.

i've seen again this topic. i think this is really a sign that i should stop chasing my losses i lose again yesterday and tried to chase it by being aggressive on betting but still lose again, maybe i really should stop chasing my losses and accept it.

Well you can't blame people if the had mentality when it comes on gambling, It is normal to lose gambling however why you need to lose when you can win that easily and after made up some profit then you should stop and then try your luck another time, If your eagerness to push more further into more profit that's your emotion will be affected because your setting a goal into more profit and then regret in the because you lose it all.

Losing money makes gambling worse gambling depends on luck but it requires a lot of knowledge and experience it is very dangerous for gamblers if they do not know the techniques of gambling therefore if the chances of losing are high it is better to stop gambling. You do not want to be frustrated if you cannot get the right pitch so invest in a good capo. Next we have to correct the mistake and move forward most lucky gamblers have achieved success in this way.

Those things are really going to happen if one can't pay back the money that has been borrowed for gambling.
The reason why many goes broke is they can't contain the mental stress and it causes them to do some other things that are worse than losing money.

Taking money on a loan in order to win back a gambling game is an extremely stupid act. Person need to learn to accept your loss. If he failed to win immediately, the chances of winning back are not high. Those people who are trying to win back with the loaned money you need treatment for addiction to gambling. For this treatment, a person can take a loan.

If you do that for sure you will incur more losses, taking a loan as capital in gambling is the most not preferable way because it is a borrowed money and there is pressure and psychological effect to it. My advise to other gamblers to just put money in gambling that they are afford to lose where they own the money and not borrowed from family, banks or friends. How can you repay the money that you borrowed if you do not have good performance in gambling? the best way to recover your past losses is by resting first wherein you will remove all of your emotional attachment in your past gamble and past performance after that improve your skills in areas that you are lacking then you can comeback playing and betting again.

Unfortunately, there are many desperate gamblers in the world. So desperate that they will borrow money fro other people. So desperate that they will commit crimes just to have money to gamble.

Well, when a gambler did it for the first time and loss their money more chances are there will be a time that they will realize what they did and stop because being desperate in gambling most of the time ending up being a bust.

I said the same thing. You can take a loan for something that is guaranteed to bring you a profit with which you can pay off the loan. For example, business expansion. But taking a loan to try your luck is extremely stupid and usually ends up with a person who will owe much more money.

It's sad that people can't understand the math behind games and they can't understand how RNG and provably fair system works. They think that on every new bet, the probability of win increases but the truth is that on every bet, their chance stays the same. They can't or just don't want to understand that and then blame casinos for their losses while casino directly tells them this information + as a bonus tells them to not lose more than they can't afford. It's bad when they take a loan for that purposes, loan can't pay the loan, it needs hard work and patience, not gambling.

I still think that the main reason why people do this is their poverty and the casino becomes their only place to earn money. It is necessary that people have wealth, then they will not take a loan to earn money on it in the casino. Of course, in any case, there will be people who are ill with ludomania, but they can be sent for treatment.

Gamblers find it difficult to accept the losses. And they always come back to recover their money until they have nothing to loss. You are not alone, I have suffered a lot for this habit too. Limit your gambling habit, it worked for me. We choose the aggressive and rage betting cause sometime it helps us to recover our losses. It's hard to get out from this mentality. See this article, it may help you a little How To Avoid Chasing Losses? (https://www.smartgamblingedge.com/2018/12/how-to-avoid-chasing-losses.html)

They do stop but its already too late yet the damage had been done already and thats the hardest part on where you do realize your mistake when its too late
but doesnt mean that you cant changed up but be sure that you would really be stopping for good and dont chase up losses because once you do made such
act then you would really have even more deeper problems which cant really be resolved so easily once its been done.
Play on your hearts content for the sake of entertainment and dont let your greed control you.

Most people always thought about this as their winnings becasue they gambled yesterday and run at loss while today they're at win. That's not a winning in the actual sense which you have already spotted out, they just try get back their loss and not their winnings actually. Well, that can also be a good one if follow with self-control after such winnings, But many gamblers don't operate as such, they rather continue with their gambling for more winnings which might lead them into coax.  

Mental stress kills, if the balance inside your brain alredy been damage due to heavy addictions.
Most of the  gamblers aimed to win whenever they've played, the more they'll lose the more they
are eager to recover, without proper control gamblers can do unexpected things linke borrowing
money or sell something just to playback, the process will continue up to the point that there's nothing left.

It causes one to end himself.
That is the main reason why a gambler must also set a rule for himself that he will never borrow money from others to gamble. Emotion is difficult to beat when the gambler himself doesn't have a strong will.

Never borrow to gamble, look as bets as entertainment a game hobby with a bonus.   You shouldn't borrow to drink either or anything else you enjoy but doesn't regularly return a profit, most of us dont make money this way just try to have some fun and maybe get a win.

Give yourself a regular daily allowance to bet with and you should do far better overall within that self discipline.   So yea don't chase bad luck with even greater attempts, just return with next days regular amount to get back your losses.   I get what you mean about the averages coming back to favor you with a win but if you have a plan of only spending so much its also useful to stop a pointless chase.   Go into battle with a plan and you will fair far better :)

Today I gambled for the first time in ages.

I started wining like the 20%, then lost 90% :o

I deposited more and won, almost recovering the loss. Then lost like a 20% again.

Quitted after that, so overall with a little loss. I don't think I will gamble in a very long time again. I have the hunch that if I kept betting I would have lost everything. So in my case, I thankfully recovered a decent amount, and didn't lose more in the process. I take it as a cheap lesson that has taught me that I don't like gambling: I didn't enjoy the experience at all, more stressful than entertaining.

I think it is much better to invest in crypto ;) at least you always keep the hope to recover from a bear market if you don't sell, without risking more than what you invested initially.

Somehow you're lucky to recover almost of what you've lost. There are indeed bad days and good days, but gamblers who dont stop chasing their losses has a high to chance to be addicted for playing out of control.

Its a good decision since you cant earn decent amount in gambling if you will treat it as your source of income. Its more on luck thus just gamble not for the goal of getting profit but to enjoy the game and feel an excitement, if ever you win think of it as an incentives.

You are just lucky to gain back your losses, but mind you that gambling is not working like that, you do not have to think about your losses at all for it not to bring you poor mindset of poor thinking that could make you to bet in the wrong way, losers like to bet the more they lose to lose the more, that is why people do advice that gamblers that lost bet should leave betting for that moment for the betting adrenaline to first die down before thinking of betting again. I will advice you to gamble but be careful of thinking about your losses and focus on quality gambling as fun and using the amount you can afford to lose.

Thanks to all of you for the advice :)

Thankfully I know the theory, so I realise that in the long term odds of winning tend to go 48.5-51, but in the process a losing spree will lead you to bankruptcy as nobody has the money to keep betting forever. So tasted the flavour of gambling and, for me, it has been enough.

I will still play national lottery from time to time: for the price of 1€ you keep the hope of achieving financial freedom, even if the odds are minimal, so you are buying happiness really cheap. For me, this little short-time happiness until the results is more than enough. For the long run, there will always be the Bitcoin BTC ;D

The Very moment that you Won 20% meaning that is the "beginners Luck" in which the reason why many starting gamblers felt the fairness
of each game.

but the 90% loss is the true gambling risk and must learn to compare the win/loss ratings.

And this is Bad mate because this what we called "Chasing losses" in which mostly end up losing more and more
until you surrender and accept loss ..to find another chance in the other gaming day.

I like you experience because you listen to your instinct and stop the betting.

Now what you need to do is Analyze and realize what will be the outcome of each gambling actvities.

Please be aware of having that control to your self and never become greedy to look for always win.
Yeah exactly,Investing in crypto is also a gamble but at least it will take time to win or lose and not longing for a quick
profit.

It is true that if we succeed in returning our losses in gambling is luck, and if we continue it will make the losses even greater.
I agree with your advice that if we experience defeat in gambling, you should stop for a moment to calm ourselves first, before
deciding to play gambling again. If our minds are calm, playing gambling can be more controlled, that way we can play gambling
properly.

As long as it will makes you happy and satisfied then it's okay, just play and play, enjoy it, but if you are losing too much or consecutively learn how to rest as well so that it will regain your strength and maybe it can help you to decide the better odds to bet. Sometimes I am making a chart or excel file, that all my bets amount are being documented for me to track it.

It happens to every gambler out there. But good thing you said you recovered some of the lose. And I guess you went back with the intentions of gaining your loss. You were lucky you won something back.
What I do now after I see I'm on losing spree is pause for sometime to analyse my strategy. Gambling is all about the strategy that works for you.

Truth be told, for anyone to borrow funds to gamble should be check thoroughly because most causes of this type is addiction.  We'll know that gambling is all about be luck to some extent, and for a gambler to choose the way of borrow funds to gamble show his or her irresponsibility in life. When a gambler borrow funds to gamble, if he or she loss these funds there is a strong tendency that recovery of loss funds will be activated immediately, which will actually give ways for more loss in the process, so, borrow funds is outside the ethics of a gambler.

About this topic I have talked a couple of times, and it is really clear to me. One of the best readings on this topic, for me, that helps you see this from an objective perspective, is Dostoyevski's "The Gambler" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gambler_(novel)). It is quite a short story, compared to other works by him, and I totally recommend reading it before starting to bet.

Many people talk about strategies for gambling, but where it comes from? just mathematics? there are many more important points of failure that mathematics do not cover (psychological, philosophical, social...) and underestimating them is, for me, the main reason most gamblers get in trouble.

In crypto we have many rules set in stone, like "not your keys not your coins", "DYOR" or "don't invest more than you can afford to lose". In gambling, to me, the number one rule or, at least, one of the most important, is for sure "don't gamble with other people's money". There are just a few reasons, or maybe no reason, to commit suicide, and unfortunately one of the most typical cases related to gambling is this one.

It is true never borrow money just to gamble because your just going to be submerge with debt and will never rise again because of gamble, but if you see it as entertainment and just to gamble to have some fun it is alright because we will never ever make money with it.
i am agree with this regular allowance which is the more chances for you to get what ever you want in the future which something will be important you will never know what is it until the day it comes. because nowadays money is much more important because if this situation which is covid and stop spending too much money just to lose more and trying to recover what is already lose just move on and find another suitable way for us to earn money.

This emotion is what makes a gambler chronic and destroys his/her life. There are many mistakes we have done in the past and if we keep on accumulating them, and trying to rectify all of it, we would never move forward and keep increasing our pot of grief.
Every new day is a new life and every new bet is a different one. Don't measure the loss you had in past days and take profit when you have one. 1 BTC 5 years ago is not the same as 1 BTC now.

This is something almost any gambler does at least once in their life and it is just a right of passage for gamblers. If you have never tried to recover and lost all of your balance, that means you do not know what you are doing. At the end of the day we are talking about something very dangerous here that could end up with all of your deposit gone and unfortunately it is something we all do.

I am not doing it anymore, not all gamblers constantly do it, most of us stop that and do not care about chasing the loss and when we lose we just accept it and move on. However everyone does it at least once, and some people can't stop it neither, they keep doing it again and again for a long period of time, which causes them to gamble more frequently and they end up losing a ton more money as well.

The more you chase your loses the more you can't recover. Most people have a gambling problem and can't manage to stop when already losing the game. Acceptance is need when you have lost the game. Those experience should keep in mind that in gambling we can experience to win and lose. Gambling is just a pure of luck and good thing to do is to take profit so this is important when winning the game.

Well, that is the point of this thread. They are always thinking that gambling more could lead them to a better future, for better wins and better profits although it is not that easy and it is not the results they are getting in the end. It is like quicksand, to be honest, the more you move, the more you struggle, the more you will be falling into it.

Part of human nature to be greedy and when emotion do sets in then thats the time you would really change up your decision and would panic out.
You would really have that intention on recovering your loss via increasing your bets and do hope that you next bet will really able to break even on what you have lost
or would able to profit more and this is the very essence of gambling and businesses like this become too profitable for them due to people are way too
emotional.They wont stop completely unless if they dont have more money left into their pocket.

great experience and at least your first and last gambling let you realize that Investing is more best than gambling,you differentiate what is god and what is bad.
I hope that this realization will also comes to many gamblers that instead of playing and making casino owner richer,they will decide to care about their money and start investing for their own future.

We regularly attempted to recuperate we lose cash when starting the new rounds and afterward we take loads of wrong decisions which lead us to a frenzy and we lost again.
I think we should forget about them ahead. We generally lose more cash when we're attempting to recuperate them.
I had the same experience but I never win my losing amount. The pace of my triumphant possibilities are in every case less so I never care about my losing cash

It is really hard for other gamblers.

They can't control themselves. The time that you find a good time to stop but still continue to do your bets is the start of your wrong decisions. Instead of grabbing that win, you give more chances for the house to win back that money hence giving you losses that might trigger continuous losses until you are out of founds. A lot of regrets happen after that.

Everything you say is true, we really have to be able to control ourselves when playing gambling. We must be able to stop playing gambling
if we have won, even though the number of wins we get is not large. If it continues, it will only lose the money we get from the win. Likewise
if we experience defeat, don't force yourself to play gambling anymore. What happens we will lose even more money.

This is a good analogy!

I think we can utilize the advices from this video, How to Survive Falling Into Quicksand (https://youtu.be/Jcz1G5b33KQ), with some adjustment, of course.

1. Unlike in the movies, in real life it's quite rare to sink into the quicksand up to the neck. In relation to gambling, "up to the neck" means you can't stop compulsive betting by yourself, and you need a professional help. It happens, but it's rare.

2. "Stop moving" means stop playing. You might think you could recover your losses by playing further, but in most cases your losses just keep growing.

3. "Lighten the load" means don't even read gambling related articles or watch gambling related movies.

4. "Grab on to something" means find something else to be entertained with instead of gambling.

5. I can't come up with an analogy to "Lean back and wiggle your feet". :)

6. "Call for help" means tell your closest friends you want to fight your gambling addiction. They will help you.

I hope watching the video along with reading my comments will help at least someone to "safely return to the surface".

Thank you for that.



This could also mean that you need to lessen the bets you are making. Baby steps as they always say.



This is the most important to gamblers that wanted to stop their addiction. Grabbing on to someone for me means finding that will, that main reason why you need to stop gambling. This will be the root of your desperation to stop gambling.



I think that just means that you need to avoid doing bets, try to avoid it as much as you can and the wiggle part can also mean do something or other things like maybe bonding with your family or entertaining yourself with other things, not just gambling.



So true, there are a lot of professionals out there that will push you to your limit to stop addiction. But remember that at the end of the day, it is still that thing you grab on to will make you stop gambling. You should never let that go.

And this is why gambling business is profitable because the cycle to continue and progress due to this kind of gambler behavior.They cant stop out themselves
unless they do bust up their entire bankroll or does have a hole into their pocket.Dont ever consider on chasing up losses because this will really just
make the situation even more worst and in result you would surely regret when the time comes that everything had been messed up due to this kind of behavior.
Move on and call it a day and as long you dont compromise your finances or life savings then you are still good on playing but when you do already
reached that state then better to think again.

You're welcome! :)


I thought about that and was going to write almost exactly the same words, but then changed my mind because "lessen the bets" would still mean betting, while the aim was to stop betting completely.


What I meant was another than gambling activity, but I like the idea of finding the will to stop gambling.


Yessss! Now, when I read 4. and 5. it reminds me of the first two rules of the Fight Club, but I like it! :) Important rules must be duplicated.

In the case there is greed, it is okay to lose in a day but what is wrong is when we are getting greedy and we wanted to win back the losses right away. Remember, not every day we are lucky, it happens that a gambler might lose everything in just a day. The best thing to do here is to stop and let the day pass. Try to cool down and accept the losses since there's always a next day to test and try our luck. Another reason I can see is when we are fully trusting gambling for everything we need in the sense that we are betting funds that are allotted for our necessities. We should only bet amounts that we afford to lose because if not, we might encounter critical problems such as borrowing money from others.

whether you win or loss every attempts provokes us to make it more longer. Most of cases our situation become helpless or loss our control in the hurry of recovering our loses. But in the process of recovering our money back we suppose to forget our goal as this only leads higher chance of losing. This is all of lie and an inappropriate movement.

Yes move forward is the key, we can continue to lose if we are going to think of that we will continue to lose yes that's right , so let's move on, but you need to rest mate before playing again, so that you will be refreshed and your mind will reset, probably you will move on, because when you will play right after you lose so you can recover it will only lead you to massive lose. That is what I am doing as well when I lose.

Every gambler has a different level of luck and method and as such, it is quite possible that some of the gamblers out there who have lost will continue to play without taking a break. Indeed, that would have resulted in more losses for most gamblers and included myself, but in fact in the past I didn't take a break when I lost and would continue to bet, with great effort every day at least to recover from that loss has a low chance of success so that's it, I says a minority of gamblers can do it without taking a break.
