What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?

I watch movies on Netflix usually about life and action to help overcome my bad loss, we should try to avoid having bad losses, bad losses are losses where we are not comfortable losing or a loss coming from chasing your losses, this is not good for your mental health, gambling in casinos should be fun and a source of entertainment if we keep on getting bad losses, we are gambling the wrong way.

Bad loss meaning for a huge one or a loss using your hard earn money?
Every gamblers have their own bad loss I guess, personally if it's already beyond my limit I will stop playing though I also experienced before to borrow some funds which I eventually lose as well. Self-control will play a bigger role here, that bad loss should not happen again and you should gamble only with your extra money, some bad loss might be more traumatic for you, so be responsible.

First of all there is no worst feeling for a gambler than when he just had one such bad loss.Usually I promise myself to never get back to gambling after such a really bad happening but after sometimes have passed I am relaxed and go back again playing.

However these moments as I have had a lot of them during the past year made me a better person in the sense that I now do not spend more than 10-20 dollars while in some rare cases a maximum of 50 dollars when I want to play a bit longer.These moments have helped me to become much better at self control and I am not an addicted person anymore.

Regarding the favorite thing to do when I had these dark moments during the past year,I prefer to lay down and relax letting that bed moment sink in,I need to stay like this several hours before I am recovered from such happening.

The thing with gambling is you will suffer bad losses as you continue to play, and bad losses are something you need to overcome as soon as possible, the longer they linger in your mind the longer that you are going to suffer so you have something that you're doing to address it, in my case I just to go out play basketball or jog to take out the frustration of my bad loss, but when you're used to bad loss you'll just treat it as something that about to happen and you can easily move, its all about being responsible in how you play and knowing your limitation.

In no case should you try to win back a bad loss, otherwise it will lead to even greater losses. The best solution to forget about losing is to switch your activity to something else from gambling. You need to keep yourself busy with things that help you relax. It does not matter what it will be, the main thing is that this activity is exciting for you, for example, some kind of hobby. Attempts to think less about the loss will still not be successful, and only filling your thoughts with something else will work. But for this you need to really be passionate about new activities. For example, watching a movie that will greatly interest what is happening.

After a bad loss i like to turn off the computer and stay away from it for some time. Go to enjoy the real life with some cold beers and chill with nice music.

With time we learn that be sad about our loss is just a waste of time, that's why it's better to take it as a man, let it go and move on because life keeps going and we must move on without looking back.

The fun fact is that i do the same after a good win.

What do I do if I get a lot of losses? Of course, I will close my browser and leave my computer for a while to forget about it. Maybe I'll get out of the house and go somewhere where I can forget the worst moments I had at gambling. But fortunately, I've never felt that much loss because I can control myself when playing gambling and don't use much money. Thanks to the lessons on self-control I have learned from many sources. I can refrain from spending too much money and always try to get out of gambling if I have lost a few times.

Close the website, take a coffee break. Play some video games and sleep it over. The feelings wear off eventually.

in my case when I make a deposit at the casino I already take the deposit I made as lost money I don't create expectations about the money I put in the casino, of course if I win I'm very happy but if I lose I don't freak out either because even before I make a bet, I consider that money as lost, this is the best way to deal with gambling, this way it avoids creating stress and also the person is not disappointed. It is necessary to see that gambling is not a fixed income, even if the person tries hard he will always have losses and when the person pursues the losses he will continue to lose even more, so at the end of the day it is better for the person to be aware that that money that you put in the casino and money already lost


I agree that it's really all a matter of being responsible and knowing each person's limitations, I see some people who put all their money into a bet, and it's as if for these people it's all or nothing. this type of movement makes people feel frustrated when they lose because they don't know their limits


be careful with this type of attitude, the moment the person loses a lot and then promises he will stop playing and can't stop playing and goes back to playing and loses again and promises again that he will stop playing but he doesn't. can stop gambling then that person may be addicted to gambling. be careful in that part


bad loss and whenever a person bets a large amount to the point of breaking the bank, that person bets thinking they will have a guaranteed win, but then loses

A bad loss like $500 is already a stressful for me. That's already a big amount for me. The game will keep replaying in my head like I can turn back the time but before I'd go crazy I'd take a walk.

Taking a break to shake the bad luck and then watch some news, watching some news help me pass the time without thinking the loss. Same as I can forget how BTC price plummet.

close the laptop and put it in a cupboard so I can relax more without having to think about it, distract me by listening to music and also movies on netflix through my cellphone, usually that way is enough to make me better from bad losses, after a few days usually I will open that laptop and play again

I lost 500$ in a minute trading an altcoin, this is the money I planned to use for buying at least three different altcoins for long term, when I lost that money it hit very hard, I kept remembering for the whole week, I believe it's not the money I was prepared to lose. I hope this answers your question, if you are able to get over a loss very quick its because you are prepared to lose the money.

By taking a break from gambling. Gambling hurts you, you hurt it back by not giving a shit about it lol.
Basically, by taking a break from gambling you get to realize that chasing losses is not the thing you should do.
You get to analyze your mistakes and it also gives you time to get out of the loss.
You can continue gambling when you are back on track with your losses and ofcourse this time not repeating your mistakes.

My favorite thing to do to get over bad loss is doing the regular thing I do.  Though there are regrets sometimes, it doesn't affect me much since I get over my losses easily.  That is probably because I often gamble on what I can afford to lose.  So I always have my fund planned beforehand.  But if the loss is really bad(sometimes we failed to have self-control and keep on playing way beyond our allocated budget), I just play games to forget about the "horror" of losing.


I was thinking of saying pressing x that is located in the upper right corner of the browser  ;D

I don't know. Have a depressive feeling for the rest of the day and depending on the amount of coins I lost, maybe have a bad week?

What kind of question is that? What is my "favorite thing" to do after losing? Lol what.

I think you might have meant what do you do after you lose to keep your mind off the fact that you lost money. Because thats the one thing everyone does after losing. Find something to take their minds off their losses. Basically what is your favorite coping mechanism should be the title of this thread.

In which case,  my coping mechanism is ingesting large amounts of copium and watching movies or something. ??? ::)

I believe that there are some people who don't move on fast after they lose the money they are prepared to lose for. I'm pretty sure there are people who are regretting their actions even they are prepared for the consequences. I've been on that situation multiple times before and I learned my lesson hard and learned to control myself from the temper of not spending money that I don't afford to lose.

Usually I do take some breaks after having a bad loss, Thank to God I have a limit on what I spend on a casino. This helps me move on fast now and just recover to my normal state after I have a bad loss.

Hmm.. What do you actually mean by a Bad loss? Do you mean gambling with an amount too huge that you couldn't afford to lose? ( i.e betting $1000 with just 1.2 olds and still finally losing it) or Do you mean gambling with a significant amount? Because to me, what I do is try to console myself by either watching funny comedy videos on YouTube or Facebook in a lonely place all by myself, and trying to avoid further discussion that will make me remember such incident, because of what benefit will it be worrying over what I know I can't change. So it is better to just accept it that way and life goes on.

Should have closed it first by pressing x but I'm more interested in pressing shutdown, if only this laptop wasn't a gift from my wife I might have burned it when I had a loss whether it was in trading or playing on a gambling site, so it's best to put it in a cupboard and away from my view

You know what is my favorite thing to do, when I am in bad loss then I drink an alcohol and eating some of my favorites foods. Because what is in my mind is that it's better to eat than to lose again and that's the reason if when I loss a good amount of money then the rest of my money I spend it in eating my favorites food and also shopping as well. Actually in my history as A small gambler I  didn't loss big amount. because I gamble what I afford to lose.

First of all I never want to be in that situation so I make it clear whenever I make a bet which should be affordable for me to lose or else just don't bet at all. Money management is really important for everyone, it may not get you rich quickly but it will save you from getting bankrupt.

Well, after a loss if the amount is considerably high then I will distract my concentration onto something else like a long ride at night, convo with closed ones, or atleast I will watch some motivational stories. :D

The most important thing that I initially do when encountering bad or huge losses are to have a break and stop gambling for a while. This is to avoid being greedy and trying to win back my losses as we all know what will happen next if we continue gambling after losing.

One of the best and favorite things that I do to immediately move on is by being with my loved ones and/or play with my dogs as those will keep my mind off any bad experience that I encounter and also keep me from overthinking things such as "what ifs".

But still after a few days, I will still continue gambling like nothing ever happened and enjoy when I win.

To get over a bad loss in my case even though it's not a big amount to start with but it is still a loss after gambling my funds that I can afford to lose which is to make myself focus in other things or activities instead of thinking or making myself remember or still involved in things that is the reason why it happen. What I mean is to make myself busy with work, watching movies on Netflix, doing physical exercises or workout, playing online/offlinr games and more choices to do that is not gambling related. It would also help keeping yourself not becoming greedy wherr being greedy makes you win huge amount or recover lose amount that you bet.

I usually go fishing in a quiet and calm place, because it can relieve stress and anxiety when I experience a loss in gambling, for example yesterday I lost $300 in gambling made me feel lost, but on the one hand I also don't blame the gambling site, but more to myself and make my mind aware that it's a risky game, so fishing will make me calmer

Shaking my head and tell to myself that I will not gambling anymore then next I will start gambling again because I always saw bonus and promotional ads of casino in my email.   :D

Seriously, I have a lot of pet dog since I’m a breeder now. Playing and walking with them help me relieve stress to my bad loss in gambling. I can think carefully and do acceptance to my loss if I where with them since I’m with them. In general, You just need to get away that will give you more depression and avoid being alone to get over quickly to the bad experience.

The way I deal with bad loss is by simply moving on, that is why I always set limits to the amount I used for gambling, and if ever I go beyond that, and end up losing I will just move on to some other thing other than gambling.

Watching football games have been one of the helpful ways I have always helped myself to overcome a bad day.

Only times heals the wound on that kind of loss. If it's fresh, it really hurts and very depressing especially if you managed to lose a very high amount of money for you.

I can recover immediately though if I was able to win it back in that very day. Above all, I try to be less emotional and just move on from it.

Most of the time i'd take a break by playing one of my favorite games, watching some streams, or ordering myself a comfort food like ice cream. To make myself feel a bit better I sometimes visit a sports betting thread on Reddit to see if others also went through the same loss as me or even worse since there are always people who have long shot parlays. I look for different ways to not get swept up with the loss since it can get really bad later on if you're still struggling to move on with your losses.

close the laptop, leave everything related to the casino and go watch while eating casually at the cafe
closing my laptop usually takes a while if I experience a big loss and it can take up to a month to come back again

Think of something that can make you stop and rest. Turn your attention to things that can make you forget about losing and don't push yourself too hard to chase victory.

I don't know what's actually good for people even though it's actually good for me. I will stop gambling if I have reached the target loss limit in a day, it can really help me control spending money on gambling. If you like to gamble, then you should also be able to think about this loss limit so that you are not affected financially in the long term.

I go on shopping, lol, probably to ease my mind of that big and bad lost  the other night. When I was working, I had to call my office that I will not going to work, I know that its a bad excuse, but I can't get myself to go to the office or even move as I feel lethargic and not in the mood the whole day.

Unless, I will go to buy some things for myself and totally forget what happen to me.

I guess it's more money to spend but that's therapy to me.

Nothing I guess, although I will have difficulty sleeping thinking about that bad loss, but once I got my rest, the next day I will be normal.

Of course, I will have to go back and see what's wrong with me or why I didn't quit that early when I still have the money and chooses to play for me and be greedy. Just some lessons for me to learn and then life goes on and never look back at that bad lose. But I understand what others may have to go through before moving forward after suffering a defeat and a huge one.

Learn from it, bad losses can be a big eye-opening lesson for those who are wiling to learn from it, if you don't learn from it the same thing can happen over again, the most popular way people lose money is through greed, thinking you are smarter than scammers will turn you into the hunted.

The crypto golden rule could be also applied to gambling: never "invest" what you can't afford to lose.

I'm not really keen in gambling, and when I do it is with little money. In the past, I remember having lost 1 BTC several years ago when it was really cheap compared with current prices, so it was painful but not so much. After losing it, I made some kind of "act of contrition" and learned the lesson, so I focused on working, making money and hodling instead of gambling or trading.

Due to my past loss in gambling, I have developed my emotions to the extent of not being moved when I have a big loss in gambling. Each time I bet, I try as much as possible to remove my mind from what I gambled on immediately. Trying to focus my attention on comic movies. If peradventure  I lose or win lucky me that it happened that way. Not many regrets or excitement about my gambling game result.

The most important thing is to stop playing and not drawn in my emotions, i also don’t bet with much money that i can’t afford. And my favorite thing to do when i get all those bad feelings of bad luck or trying to revenge and bet higher which i know I’m only risking more money is that go straight to food, i prepare a sandwich or a nice juice. After all it’s only me who played risky and only my fault. Some starts blaming the casino which is nonsense

I usually do healing immediately, by singing karaoke to the fullest of my voice, and usually beating things a lot, but this is not to be imitated, because it is not good for health. So I think singing is a very good thing to do in my opinion.

Nothing, what difference should there be in doing or not doing, I don't understand, don't look for placebo effects, end up fooled by yourself.  The less time a loss affects him, the better player he becomes.

I think that with traditional casino games is more easier to overcome because you are betting for an hour (e.g.) then, if you made a profit, well done,but if you lose, no problema, tomorrow we try again.

I come from the niche of poker, in my case what I do is review the game histories and see where I was wrong or what decisions I can improve after analyzing how much was my fault and how much the variance is.

It may sound arrogant and pretentious, but it's actually a process that mature up over time, that is, I get on with what I have to do, that's why it's important to plan time lapses before and after playing your game sections.

 There's a post out there that mentioned the question if you gamble while on vacation, imagine taking losses and then having to deal with it on vacation, so, you have to deal with it all the time and get over it, be happy.

In my case, not food, but usually, I just watch movies to forget what I had lost.
I don't check my game histories as going over it would only give you headache.
Better stop for a while and do things that you believe are worth your time.
As you said, if you will play using money that you can afford to lose,
it may not be that hard to let go as compared to playing using money dedicated for your bills.

The good old days of taking a break or some of the time take some moment to get regrets on why I got greedy. Usually it will just take a minutes to reminisce the bad thing on what I did but after that I move on already since I won't be able to change that fact.

Since I learned how to set a limit to the amount I bet with, I hardly have a bad day because once my set limit is reached I will just give a break, and it doesn't matter whether am winning or losing, I always step aside when my limit is reached, just to avoid getting depressed from uncontrolled loses I rather give a set limit that controls my action while playing.

Whenever i do get a bad loss or huge ones then this is where i do usually say to my mind.

1. Its just an amount which i could easily recover or earned.
2. Call it a day
3. Go to do some physical activities like playing basketball.
4. Playing computer games.

It cant really be denied that getting stressed with huge losses is normal and something that cant
really be wipe off easily but it would really be depending on someones control.

Well, bad losses are simply inevitable in gambling. Either you stop gambling and experience no losses at all, or you will continue gambling and suffer from losses every time you gamble. So it’s all about money management and setting your limitations when it comes to gambling, the reason why we need to gamble on an amount we can afford to lose. And for me, every time i end up with bad losses, I’ll just spend quality time with my family and friends, and maybe treating them out like having a joy ride and end up eating at a good restaurant having a good conversation. That way, I easily recover from my bad losses in gambling.

Just leave the casinos and move on, this is my normal practice and it’s ok since I only gamble within my budget and losing are already expected when you gamble. Bad loss might be referring to a money you just borrowed, well that’s a total problem for you and you should think on how you can repay that, usually this is where the stress and depression came from, it is because of being greedy.

That's a great way to become an obese alcoholic who hides in his shell every time something bad happens around him. ;)
I've learned over the years to face my problems standing straight and sober. I drink when I want to relax or have fun with friends, sure, but I don't drink to forget about my problems. Alcoholics often do that.

When I lose money I'm ready for it. When I start gambling I spend a second thinking what if I didn't have that money at all and it makes me more relaxed. I also try to turn a loss into something positive like motivate myself to work more efficiently to earn the money back faster.

The very first huge loss will be very hard to overcome. When we continue to gamble, we know well about gambling and it won't be a big thing. At times when we experience financial difficulties, the loss will remind us and make us feel bad. To overcome such scenario I used to divert myself watching documentaries about people living in rural regions and their lifestyle.

Chill out and try to get your attention on other things which is away from gambling, from this we can avoid to get stress from the losses we encounter.

But to avoid stressful losses which we cannot afford to happen. Well maybe much better if we have separate already the small amounts of funds we can afford yo lose because from this we can get over easily on the losses we experience.

You have nothing to do expect of thinking of how you make it or win next time,  because i believe that wining of game brings happiness and if you lose and start thinking negatively and after that when you go back again to play bet you definitely lose again, so the only thing to be done is that after losing your game, what will happen is that research what makes you to lose the the game, so that the next one will be better, because so people don't check the reason why they lose on gambling after they have lose a game.

^ Close the gambling platform and contact my friends and play Valorant or Call of Duty, online games that truly relieve stress or even worse loss.
All you have to do is divert to a thing that you can get over,  mostly when I am at a bad loss, I eat more, play online games more, or else hang out with some of my friends and drink liquor but this is rare to happen only when there is occasion. We should not focus on gambling, because the more you will give attention the more you will be prone to be addictive to gambling. Everything should be balanced and don't chase too much money on gambling.

It's a mental battle that you need to overcome while you're playing in a casino, it's bound to happen, there's always the temptation to play more chase your losses, and go for big bucks and you should always be ready to prepare for it to shrug it off whenever you suffer from a bad loss, in my case I just take days or a week off from gambling until I shrug off that loss.

It's hard to come back to playing immediately after a bad loss because it will play in your mind and you can hardly concentrate on your game, so it's better to have days or a week off until you forget your bad loss, so you can have a fresh start.

Whenever I get a bad lose I don't like staying alone so that I won't be thinking about it, so I prefer hanging out with my friends, let's just go out together so that we will gist and have fun, at that particular moment I won't think about the lose, I might still think about it when we are not together again but it won't really be much again, I will always try and remember the funny things that happened when I was with my friends, even when am not with them again, I will still make phone calls so that we can gist. Gradually I will start forgetting about the lost.

Taking a pause would help. You must make time to kill time without thinking about or atleast lessen the thoughts that you've lost an amount. Some people would continue playing to get their money back but as cliche as it may sound, things could got worse by doing so. Try doing other things that you usually do other than gambling or playing, would be unfortunate if you have no other hobby or leisure.

But prevention is better than cure. Prioritize putting in mind that in gambling, there's no easy way to win. Always regard the possibilities of losing to avoid suffering when expectations are not met. Reflect as well if you could afford continuing this activity because you are free not to do so.

Stay away a bit from gambling and do recreational things like basketball, biking or long rides. I take away my mind from bad loss. If I dwell on it, it will just depress me and that will not be good for my mental health. There are times that I have a great win so a bad loss here and there is just normal. I just focus on the good things and move on from the bad ones but never forgetting any lesson form it, if there is any.

Hehe.....losses ain't something that anyone would get pleased with... No matter how prepared the person is -- yes, people get prepared on some losses as they'll sometimes indulge in something they know quite well to be a scam but, will just wanna give a try.

If I get a bad lose, I know it's something that could push you into taking your own life or seeing yourself as 'worthless' -- I'll pick up and listen to good music and, hangout with friends then I'll try as much as possible to keep myself busy -- sometimes, busy over nothing.
Some Peeps let loose their emotions....in that it surpasses them and if there's no one around to change their mindsets, they might even run into a homicide.

What I've done so far is to watch some funny movies and take some air outside doing some light exercises or just running. It doesn't relieve the "pain" of the bad loss but it's good enough to change my mood hehe. A bad loss usually lingers for a couple of days so I just keep repeating the process.

As an experienced gambler, I don't do anything but just take a break, simple as that. Since that heavy feeling is already there, no choice but to move on. I'm not used to doing other things if I experienced a bad loss such as going outside for a drink, social interaction, playing games, etc. as that was all useless for me.

Accept the loss, move on and prepare for another round of betting. But it's been a while since I experienced a bad loss, especially in sports betting. Don't be used to experiencing that painful experience and worked your way to be a good bettor as you progress. Take that as your lesson.

First, I have to ask myself why I experience a bad loss where in fact, I should only gamble within my limit.
Second, If I already know what went wrong I have to address it right away and solve the possible problem that may occur especially if it's already over budget.
Third, I have to give punishment for myself and limit my gambling activities until I solve that problem, by this I can be more responsible next time and I can avoid such bad loss.

Moving on. There's no other way to get over it when I'm having a bad loss. Acceptance is the key and just think of it that it shouldn't happen again and look at what part I've became wrong with decision making. Is it from the time that I should have stopped already when I've got a few losses or wins? Or is it from the bets that I've made and bet for the wrong team in sports betting and the same goes for other games that I use to play.

I normally just throw my remote or smash my TV with my gold club lol.  Just kidding just kidding. That being said, I did use to do crazy things like that in my "earlier" days of gambling, which of course went hand in hand with being younger. 

I simply don't bet enough money these days to really let it get to me.  If I do, I normally get steamed for a couple hours then let it go.  Don't bet so much it drives you nuts!

A bad loss? Do you mean losing with big money?
If I experience a big loss. First of all, I need to calm my mind, I need some entertainment. I don't want to stay at home, I prefer to hang out or take a vacation. I often spend at least 2-3 days calming my mind. If I feel it is enough to calm my mind, I will think about how to avoid the same mistake. And more stringent in limiting funds for gambling. However, until now, I never loss with big money because I always use small money.

Accept the result. There's no point in forgetting it but rather it's good to take that as experience to become a better gambler. How can we even enjoy doing relax if we are at a big loss? Maybe we will be happy for quite some time but after that when we got home, the sad feeling will be back again. For me, just accept the loss calmly as it will just pass away.

Next time, do our best not to experience that bad loss again.

I'd take the L. There's no use lingering over it and trying to make the money back the instant you lost it. You'll just pile up your emotions and pile up your debts on the way too. I'd rather move on and come back next week, eager to play without the loss on my mind. This will also enhance and test your self-control the more you lose big time. When you conquered your impulse, you can gamble pretty much any time you like without having to think much of the consequences.

I think the trick isn’t figuring out how to cope with a bad loss, but to not get yourself into a position where you would consider a loss a “bad loss.” Similarly to the saying that you shouldn’t invest what you can’t afford to lose, you shouldn’t gamble amounts that will cause you pain if you lose it. With investing you can at least usually recoup something when you sell, but gambling is a total loss. You need to be careful and remember that it’s about entertainment, not making money.

That's just what I was thinking. It's best not to get to that point.

The only thing I would add to what you say is that once you have lost something that you consider a bad loss, it is very important to recognise the loss and stop, and not to chase your losses, which can make the situation even worse.

It's hard to forget defeats in large numbers that can't be controlled, of course there are regrets that make us stress thinking about them, I personally prefer to stop for a moment and enjoy coffee and cigarettes while talking with friends that can bring the mood back to life.

The answer, of course, is to try to get out of gambling. Don't even keep chasing defeats that will exacerbate your losses. You may find it difficult to stop gambling until it is all gone, but this type of gambling will only continue to affect you and you will continue to be played. Then what needs to be done when you get a bad loss is before you bet make sure to limit the balance below 10%. Armed with 10% capital, you must be prepared to lose and stop for a moment.

I will be very sorry and feel stupid for giving in to my desire to continue gambling and losing so much money.
But I will try to calm myself first after getting that loss while sitting down and drinking a glass of water.
After calming down, I'll go out for a breath of fresh air and maybe I'll go to sleep trying to forget what I've got.
It was a horrific event for me and I wish I had never experienced it because I didn't know what I would do next.

Bad losses means a big loss. This rarely happens to me because I don't use large amounts when gambling, I gamble with very small amounts must of the time . This happened to me 3-4 times when this happens I enjoy movies and listen loud music through head phone it helps me to forget the sadness and calm my mind.

Just take a break to refresh myself and do whatever I like which will help me to feel good again but I would say if you are gambling according to your budget and you loose that amount you don't have bad feelings that could tear you apart although you feel sad but on a normal level.This is my opinion and preferred way of gambling but taking break is very necessary if you have lost more to refresh up yourself.

I mostly have some cold Beer in front of TV and watch movies , together with my wife and discuss something different from problems ,
She understands my gambling activities so she drag me into Good conversations, and this is how sweet of her .

Sometimes I just drove around and feels the air, with this i can forget the losses and sleep when i got home.

Moving on after a bad loss in gambling is kinda difficult if you were hitting win streaks before that. When I'm going through that moment, I just turn of the computer then go to sleep to forget it. If it keeps bothering my mind I try to watch anime or go to youtube to find some relaxing videos. Sometimes I also play computer games if my friends are available during that time.  The most important thing about a bad loss is we don't chase losses from it. There are gamblers that can't control themselves from depositing more since they can't accept what happened.

Watching the matches of my favorite team or sport is my choice and focusing about that match and try not think anything about gambling for a while until the mind is clear again because even though we can do other things but if we continue to think about the amount that has been lost then the activity becomes less impact.

Diversion.

you can do things you like and forget about the losses you suffered before, of course everyone will be different to deal with these losses. if you do not have good control, then what happens you will restart the betting session with a larger deposit.

It is not easy to forget in an instant for the loss you have received, you will be faced with thinking and looking for solutions to get back the money that has been lost. so what one should do, the case will be different for each person.
but for sure, you need a diversion to refresh your mind. it could be a little exercise, watching Netflix, or anything that can take your mind off it.

In gambling, losses are more common than winning, which is why multiple gambling companies are interested in it. Yet, you may win big or lose little in every of your play, it is about your choices and preparedness. Gambling is not easy, you should prepare psychologically and with a unique strategy and plan, not that you gamble randomly without a regular approach that might one day help you to win big.

This approach/strategy must include a plan that would not let you lose more than prepared for. But in case you go astray and lost much, you need to take a break, be in the company of those you love to get over it, and could resume after 2 weeks if you had cooled down and are psychologically ready to try again with better discipline.

Losses are inevitable in gambling, when I losse I always have two ways to put myself together and they two ways are:
1. I will remember when I won and how happy I was and  use it to console myself.
2. I will play music and every sad feelings in me will just disappear with immediate effect.

I would say that if it happened that you got a bad loss, then it's time for you to stop and stop gambling. Big losses are a sign that the player can no longer control himself, and then everything will only get worse, because there will already be a desire to win back the lost money. This is the worst thing that can happen to a player, because in such a state nothing good will come of it, there will only be more losses and as a result even more lost money...

Personally I understand that life is about winning and learning (I don't want to call that losing) because at the point that we are down we are suppose to use that time to build energy to be strong, revitalize, reinvigorated to hit back at our fences. So regarding gambling, when I lose I only see it as part of life to learn more. At least it gives me another time to get it right and I don't try to force it to happen for a win because if you keep trying you are likely to keep losing as gambling is concerned. Walking away to come back is good just like life itself is. Understanding gambling as lucky game is more suiting to me.

In my ownnway i will ensure never to get involved in gambling with high amount, put hodl for a while and also try to get myself right and well positioned for subsequent gambling, this now brings in about discovering the causes of previous experiences of loss, and I will try build more on myself as against avoiding reoccurrence of loss, but the truth is that loosing terribly does not amount to quiting gambling but rather a reason to regain more strength for another attempts that could also be a big blow on casino for a revenge that you may win again and smile again.

I go off the site or place and try to relax by watching movies on Youtube when am in bad loss. On few occasions I tried to play more so I could win back my losses but the more I did the more losses I got. I learnt this simple lesson the hard way. The advice now is to leave when the day is bad for you and not to force it. Gambling is a mind game and if your mind is not settled you hardly win. Do not task the mind when it is distressed.

Not really my favorite but something that I have to do to rub off that bad loss I usually take a bath then take a drink and go to sleep after that I'll start fresh in the morning and forget my bad loss, been doing this ever since my first bad loss a few years back and it works, we need something like this because bad loss is always a part of our losses, even if you try to avoid, you'll experience this but you have to minimize your bad loss or it will harm you.

That's the jerk man you have to prepare for either loss or win, so why do you get disturb after lossing, most newcomers oftentimes fall prey for this, old timers are mostly prepared for one of them win/loss.
Having a dead sleep will help ease the stress get busy if possible playing table tennis will work to a point.

What's the behind reason why someone are suffer a bad loss? there's many reason like a scammer scam your money, a robbery rob your money etc.

Mostly I will gamble because the reason I gamble is for fun, I'm don't have an intention to chase money. If someone is gamble to chase money, you will mad since you're keep losing. That's the reason why a gambler should know if gambling wouldn't make you rich, especially you're playing slots which is doesn't required any skills.

It's really hard to move on if you lose a lot of money and a lot of time thinking about it. I spend my time just playing offline games to release the stress that caused it, and I also travel outside the town to feel free and not to think of it.

Getting a huge bad loss will get you depressed, and the best way to get over it is to forget and move on. And, learn from the mistakes and recover from the loss a little.

Leave gambling altogether instead of trying to recoup, you eventually forget your losses, how sooner you forget depend on amount of loss  :P

I'll rest, focus on other things that could make me feel relaxed, and as much as possible, I try not to chase my losses. Forget it and move on as I take it as a lesson. Accept the fact that losing is part of our gambling journey and set limits next time. Chasing it will only lead to more losses so it is better to pause or stops for a while than just try your luck on the other days. It's just that unlucky days usually happen to us.

First I console myself by letting myself know that, it wasn't my day that very day and everyday isn't Christmas for me

Secondly I just go hangout with my babe and eat as much goat meat as possible  with a bottle of red wine.

I head back home and watch any nice movie, getting my mind ready for the next day.

The best way to get over a big loss is to not let it get that far in the first place. You have to ask yourself, why do big losses occur in betting in the first place?

It is always due to the greed of the player who plays with too high stakes and then loses. That is why it is essential (!) to have a decent bankroll management when betting or playing other games like Poker or Blackjack.

This is the only way to ensure that you stick to your strategy even in a downswing and continue to make the right decisions. Otherwise, you run the risk of raising the stakes to recoup your losses and end up losing even more.

That's why the most important thing is discipline, only in this way you stay with your A-game.

"Sleep" but before sleep, I'll watch any entertainment and play any games online, I'm not blaming the casino, will definitely blaming myself. Then 2 or 3 hours after that I'll silent and re-thinking in my private room while biting my shirt was wearing lol, after that I eat a lot until my stomach is full, then I don't forget to brush my teeth. Also there's nothing I can do after that, so sleeping is my favorite when I lose for now, because in the future it may be different usually depending on the situation and conditions.

Well it happens to the best of us and overtime you just forget but the best way is just fall a sleep and not think about it. You probobly get angry or dissapointed once that happens but that just fades away. After sometime if you get some money or wins it just becomes funny or you just feel stupid. Thats what happens to me usually.

Play only with spare money that you can lose. An example of such money is if you invest and the money multiply like crazy like Bitcoin was doing in 2012 and you find out that your 100 bucks is now worth 100k, losing 1k on gambling would be nothing.

I never had to get over a bad loss because I only deposit the money that I can lose. I never deposit more while gambling. If I'm out of money I'm done for the day with no regrets.

Exactly. Many times I allocate a small amount for gambling but even though I know that it was only a small amount, I can't help but to overthink about it. I really don't know why it's happening to me. I even explain this to the people around me and they think I am getting crazy now :D and they say the same thing, that it was only a tiny amount. I think if they have some cash that time, they will just give it to me so that I will stop whining out lol.

It has to do with our temper and not only about the amount that we lose in gambling because there are also people who lose big and manage to stay calm after it. To cool my head down I will just eat cold foods like ice cream. It works like a charm for me.

Number 1 is that win must be big enough to consider yourself happy but what if you are only a small gambler? Remembering your small wins won't cheer you up but the first sentence that you said could be helpful. We need to think that in gambling there are two possible scenarios and that is winning and losing.

We are a loser for now but next time we will be on the winning side. Number 2 is I think will depend on what kind of music you are trying to play but this must be upbeat music to lift up your mood. Listening to nostalgic and slow music can make your sad feelings more intense. You may be a music lover because you pick music but for some, it can be games or movies.

To get over a bad loss have turned to be a simple thing after the experiencing series of big losses. At the beginning it was hard to overcome, used to have sleepless nights thinking of the loss. At times cried, and slowly things changed as I understood better about gambling. At some point my way of overcoming the loss happened with the friends gathering and spending time.

I don't understand your example to whaf you have said. Do you mean that if you have 100k and have gamble worth of 1k and loss of it, then it would not affect you? I doubt that someone who has 100k would not mind losing 1k. They'll still feel bad about it but not much compared to anyone who only has a few money.

Anyways, what would you feel if you gambled with that 1k and have won consecutively like have made it 10x however you continue gambling and lose it all? How would feel about it?

Sometimes, it is very difficult to get over a bad loss, but what I personally do is get my mind off it, this is because the more you think about it, the more you are likely to fall into depression, so the best thing to do is try and forget it, get busy with something that is capable of consuming your entire mind, that is not giving your mind the chance to think or remember of the loss but to be totally occupied with work.
I think doing this will help keep ones mind away from a bad loss, though it's no guarantee to heal the mind quickly off the memory of the loss, but it sure will help to slowly forget, rather to sit, doing nothing and fall into depression.

When you're accustomed to it, you can get over with it easily but not everyone can do that. So, most of the time when someone is unable to get over with bad losses. You just have to revert your attention on it like put your attention into gaming or other activities.

By doing that, you're eventually going to forget that you've been dealing with such bad losses and damage.

That's how you psychologically beat that losses that will remain if you choose think of at most times. It may not be easy but you'll have to practice it if you keep on gambling because losses will remain to be there.

The feeling experienced when you have made a bad loss can be described as either a sad feeling, a depressing feeling or an angry feeling. The best mindset to have at such a point is to give yourself hope that tomorrow will be better. Whenever I feel that kind of way, I watch my favorite Tv show, be with my favorite person, eat a good meal (very effective) or just go to bed. I do anything or indulge in any activity that can properly get my mind away from thinking about my sad situation.

It all comes together with an attitude like this, you don't need to be upset and bothered too much. Losing and winning is part of the game and money will just come and go but the important part is you learn and never commit the same mistake twice. Some other people will just take a light of a cigarette and after that, they are good to go again. Having an attitude of "let's call it a day" or "aight, that's it for today, seems like my luck is running out" you can easily go to places without being bothered if getting a losses or not. Just don't get it to you like being greedy so you could control yourself.

Maybe that’s the best to do than to escape the reality. Although I sometimes do it before go out with my friends and end up drunk. At the end of the day, still the problem is there, the big loss is there. So just learn to be more responsible next time and never gamble more than you can afford to lose. That way, you will never have to worry with your losses considering you dare just losing a minimal amount.

Yes, it is hard to lose during yea early days gambling, if will give you some idea like if youl loss you need to get it back and deposit more money so that you can play well all day and night. He needs to have some discipline that it will be start in his own self first and it will be reflected to others as well. Gambling is fun better to have a  friends who play as well.

That is a bad that could ever happened to a man after you bet and lost your games, normally as a gambler you have to bear the lost and risk so at some points, after lost you need to distance the gambling site or local shop for awhile otherwise you stand another chances of losing more money while trying to recover from the previous lost.

Can we really think of or consider a favorite thing to get over a bad loss? If we are at a bad loss, we are not in good mood. I don't think there's a thing that can eliminate that bad loss not unless slowly accept what happened.

I can't even relax after a bad loss that's why doing an outing won't save me from that.

The best thing to do is accept what happened even how hard it is and move on.

When you are in a loss situation, feeling sad and disappointed is a common thing to feel, especially if you have just lost money that should be allocated to other interests. We are in complete control to reduce the feeling of disappointment and can find ways to cheer ourselves up.
One way to entertain myself that I usually do is play games, playing games can reduce the disappointment due to the loss that I have just felt. I've also watched movies, although it sounds a bit classic, Watching old movies or movies that are on the wishlist can be a way to entertain myself and treat feelings of disappointment due to a bad loss that just happened to me.

That is true, if someone lose money, especially big amount of money, the person can fee disappointed, but why disappointed when the person trade or gamble? Anyone that trade or gamble and have big loss should not feel disappointed, although they can be depressed but not feel disappointed because they know that gambling is about either win or lose. Before a gambler should make a decision about using any amount to gamble, he should think about what the consequences of losing the money could be.

It's never easy to move on from a loss, most especially if it was a big amount on your end. It will be hard to accept and you'll have the feeling of in-denial at first and eventually regret. We all make mistakes, we feel emotions depending on the situation we are in, and that's all totally normal. But first, to be able to fully accept a bad loss, you need to acknowledge first that you lost. You have to accept it and from there, start assessing yourself from where you went wrong and how did it happen so that in the future, you won't make the same mistakes again.

We have this ever famous saying that you should only bet what you can only afford to lose. If you followed that, it will be much easier for you to accept the loss because the money you spent is just a spare. But if you didn't it'll be a hard to swallow. Just learn from it and control the situation the next time around. Don't ever think of chasing winning because that's how you'll end up losing so much more than you'll ever notice. Grieve, breakdown, accept that it already happen, remember the lesson it taught you, then move forward and use that lesson to do much better the next time around you'll make a bet.

All have different ways of tackling bad loss and your way of refreshing up on enjoying your time on eating your favourite foods and alcohol is also good.One of my friends has the same way of handling loss but my is just take a break from your gambling routine and do my work not at all thinking about gambling so after some time regain funds and come back to wager again.But we all have our own approach of handling the loss.

I always reflect and forgive my self.

Having a bad loss is a sign of being indiscipline because you'll never have a bad loss if you are only gambling within your limits. That's you being out of control in gambling and that would say you have a problem with your behavior which should be corrected the soonest possible time.

That hurts. But I practice life with no regrets. What's done is done. When you lose something you cannot afford to lose, you have nothing but to move on. The first reaction would be to stay away and take a breather. Grab a beer or maybe socialize. And when emotions are getting better, you have to think deeply and make some realizations. Learn something from it to become a better person as a whole. It's not the end of the world.

Close the website and simply forget about your bets. Go outside , do some sports , play some video games and you should be fine. If you cannot recover by doing things that you love , you most likely have a gambling problem and that should be worries for you because as soon as you place a bet you should be aware that you can lose or win , there is no in between. So yea , just move your mind in some other places and stick with them until you forget about betting for a while ...

You just have to be mentally prepared when you got a bad loss. For me I just quit and take a break and walk. Sometimes you really have to face your worst fear and that you have to look at what went wrong with your gambling that night.

For sure you will have a good sleep after that. But you have to remind yourself that it ain't feel very good. So at least maybe next time you can control your addiction. And won't put yourself in that difficult position again and suffer another bad loss. Maybe you will have to quit early.

Before sign up in any gambling platform, a gambler should be gamble with a few things in mind. One of them is to accept the loss. And whatever the quantity is but to get ready for the next step without disappointment. There are many gamblers whose financial conditions are comparatively bad when they lose some matches, their condition of mind is very weak, so they make mistakes to run normal batting. Which can bring more disasters in Betting Life.

Depends if I get too depressed or I lose the money after the enjoyment. Bad loss is not always a bad loss actually, some are losing because they have fun playing and they are prepared to lose the money while other are not since they are focus on making money which is not guaranteed in gambling. I usually do nothing when I incur a losses, it's freeze for about an hour and I know after that, I should move on and keep going. Gambling is too stressful most of the time, losing can make it worst.

You can't just leave gambling because you loose and that's all, does that means  you will always accept defeat later in life from any situation in? It's better to learn and sit up with a determined spirit not to let the loss repeatwd itself again that affliction must not come the second time, if you let go then what's the benefits of gambling before now to you, doesn't it serve any good advantage tobyou been a gambler as to catching fun and cruise with pleasure times, there must be what triggered the initial interest for gambling and moreover you know it's a game of win or loose from time, bit losing more money could be from the gambler's end having not enough experience to gambling.

It will be much better than just lamenting the loss we have experienced because we will be sad and unable to forget it. By taking a breath, at least it can reduce the tension that we experience and can think about what we should do. And we should immediately get away from the casino and do other things that can help us relieve the tension and regret. That's why we must be able to control ourselves if we want to play gambling and only use the money we can afford so that we don't lose too much money in gambling.

I remember being so lost when I lost a significant amount on gambling. It rekt my ego and happiness because I thought I was always going to win, and it's just never the case. That's a noob move, IMO, and that's okay since I learned from it. So when that happened, I coped using distraction. I played video games and spent time with family and friends. That's it, and that's how it's been when I experience a loss, not just in gambling.

It's best to understand how you will react to those effects and respect how you feel. Once you have accepted that you can't win all the time, it's an acceptance, and you can move on and move forward with yourself.

My reaction to loss is determined by how big my loss is, there are losses I will feel as if I never lose anything, that is why it is always advisable to wager an amount you can accept to lose, you don't wager an amount big enough to make you reminisce over and over that you may even find hard to overcome.
In fact, I move on quickly whenever I lose but as I said, depending on the amount but there are situations or mistakes that hurt more than even an amount used to wager a game. I remember sometimes a go when a single match damage my tickets, I would have won a life changing cashout but that match ruin everything, it was difficult to forget but of course, we are human beings, very easy to forget things behind.

Recovering the losses is almost impossible in gambling. You need to admit that if there is a loss in gambling, you need to move on and not worry much about it.
I have seen people who play revenge gambling in order to recover the loss and in return, they get more losses.


To be true no one can always win in gambling and sometimes you need to settle for loses too. If you do not have the mindset to accept the loss, then you should not play gambling at all. If you are an experienced gambler, you would know that in gambling you will face more days where you lose as compared to the winning days.

Well, I am pretty similar, after losing in gambling I always find something else to distract me from thinking about that... I also play some games, or I move from the computer, there's always something else to do. That also helps with an urge to deposit more. When I was younger and alone I had situations to deposit more and more after each loss until I empty my wallet... but I guess we all learn at some point to not "overdo it"! Now gambling is with an amount I can afford to lose, and if I lose my deposit I just chill it out... I will try again next week, or when I have some cash for sparing! Probably every loss is painful, but with some control, big losses can be avoided.

There's many thing you can do: watching a movie, have a vacation, playing online games, go to the party, have a sex etc.

Although big loss in gambling is really hurt, but gamblers shouldn't forget gambling is for fun. So they need to accept gambling isn't to chase money, the more you chase the more you will loss. This is why I never gamble with huge money for only one day, because I can't accept the amount I will lose for just one day.

Many people say gambling is for fun, but that is often not achievable. I often want to make gambling as entertainment. but. when I lost $100, I added $100 even in 1 week I lost a total of $1000 because of my failure to control every loss. Instead of quitting and stop playing, I assumed that if I was going to win, I would definitely win and so on. So without realizing that, I already spent a lot of money on this game which is said to be for fun. just be careful with a Fun, if we can't control ourself, it will be trapped for more bigger losses.

After a severe loss you have to be strong to not get down and depressed. I try to forget about it, focusing in another matters when talking to people and I try to keep a positive mindset that I can recover that money after some time, although I can't gamble anymore meanwhile. My advice for people facing this issue is to forget the loss and forget gambling temporarily until you can think about what happened without compromising your emotional negatively.

And the most important: never try to solve a mistake with another. Some people lose money gambling and think the solution is to drink till getting drunk, while others develop different kinds of abusive behavior against themselves or others.

when i have a bad loss the thing i do is to pause and study my mistakes when 1 lost at gambling. because for me mistakes and defeats at gambling are lessons that we must learn to be more careful when we want to play at the gambling table.
bad losses or losses will often be experienced by gamblers but they will almost do the same thing as me and after that will come back again at the gambling table

A bad loss is not something to be prayed for, nor wished for someone. However, certain risks and ventures turn out being a bad loss. The thing to understand is that, a lesson or two is supposed to be learned as to why such happened despite the preparations of effort put in. It is better to not dwell on the loss, but instead, find means to occupy the mind by playing games, going shopping, hanging out with friends or even just being alone working on an old task. Whatever be the method, after a bad loss, I first of all become grateful for the opportunity to discover a new way to not try the failed venture and also I seek another way to get or make what I want happen.

It sounds like a redemption in the same day lol.
There's nothing much you can do with a loss anyway, regardless how huge or how small it it. A loss is a loss which kinda normal in gambling. You should move on,. it's not the end of the world though lol.
Cool your head off before you get back to gambling and try to redeem that "bad loss" of yours.
For those people who have supernatural beliefs, gambling with heavy feelings does not attract luck.

When you do make yourself get involved with gambling then you should really be making yourself that prepared for losses because you would eventually be flooded out by lots of losses.

Gamble when you do seek for fun and dont make yourself that believe that you could really make money with it on assured manner which it cant really be  that possible.

Some do easily move on but there are people which are really that impulsive or highly reactive when it comes to gambling or simply losing money
which its never been recommendable because you would likely do lots of mistakes or further bad decisions you would be making along the way.

Do I even have a bad lose? That's the question I am asking myself because, I'm somehow conscious of my gambling habits and the stakes I place on a bet. I guess what I can call a bad lose would be a close win that went south in the last minute or perhaps on an accumulated bet slip and it got damaged with one prediction. If these could go for a bad lose, I simply telluseld it wasn't my money and I can try again. It doesn't get better or worst than that. Can't go about having headache over over is lost and never coming back. That would be some great lose on both sides.

Someone who is a gambler have what it takes to be in a bad loss, except that the person is not a gambler, at sometimes when someone venture into lose of a game it will make the person to redress and look for the possible solution to correct it fault, from my understanding losing any game will not caused me any harm because i know quit well from my understanding that it's a correction if assume you are a consistent gamnler.

This is a seemingly simple question but a very important one given that every gambler copes with their respective methods.

The problem with some is that, they cope their losses through gambling again in order to recover such. This puts them in a situation where they are in a cycle- a vicious cycle of betting, losing, recovering, and betting again. This can be potentially dangerous especially if they cannot escape this kind of mindset and situation.

Personally, I cope via doing the hobbies that I am accustomed with. I play video games and/or just read/watch videos on YouTube- so basically, anything to distract my mind from remembering that I had lost an amount of money in my gambling spree.

just remember that the loss is not the last one that you will experience if you are here in gambling. so long you are here in this habit, you will always experience loss at any point in time. by then, you should already know how to contain yourself in times of losses. usually, i just move on to losses by not going back at the same day. maybe few days, and try again my luck. because if you will chase your losses, high likely that you will get screwed up again and again.

I also don't believe in gambling for fun. Every cent matters to me that's why I take my gambling seriously. It would be more entertaining and fun if we always win. There's no fun in losing that's why can't believe people just gamble for fun.

Didn't we know that those gambling professionals and whales are serious about winning even though they already have big money? Then these average gamblers will say they just gamble for fun. I believed this people that gambling for fun can't even get move on easily once they loss.

Well, I am going to refer to poker specifically, since I play casino games on an occasional basis, with money that I can afford to lose, and I never exceed the budget that I have foreseen.

As for poker, I could divide the question in two: what is a bad beat and what is a bad session. Bad beads are something you get used to when you've been playing for years. Having more than a 90% chance of winning on the turn and losing on the river happens to me every day, so I'm (most of the time) emotionally neutral.

In bad sessions usually happen several bad beats and coolers and the best way to deal with it is emotionally neutral too, although we are human and sometimes it can affect your mood a little. If that's the case, I make the session shorter. I close earlier, and come back when I'm more rested, to play as emotionally neutral as I can.

That's right. By continuing to chase our losses on that day, we will experience bigger losses, especially if we deposit more money to gamble.
Gambling will have two outcomes: win or lose and if you can hold yourself back when you lose and leave the casino at that time, you can minimize the amount of loss.
Maybe you should do other things unrelated to gambling so you won't be too sad and forget about your recent loss.
That way, if you go back to gambling a few days later, you won't think too much about the losses from a few days ago and don't try to catch up with the previous losses because it will be difficult for you.

avoiding the computer and then rushing to go find a Cafe on the mountain to calm the mind looking for a cool atmosphere looking for women to have fun there, maybe that's an effective way to forget a little about the losses that I experienced

It is quite obvious that bad losses may be hard to get over for gamblers. I think most of them rather keep playing until they feel they win enough so by that capture a satisfaction. But I think it may be better to just pause yourself and wander around sea (if you are in coastal region) or just woods possibly. These will relax your mind, sightseeing is awesome. Also breathing fresh air will recover your mind.

BAD LOSSES?
Getting over loses is something different and getting over bad losses is totally something different. Remember that gambling is people from 18 years and above  and people are always advised to play responsibly especially withoney you can afford to lose.
Most times when I play casinos, it's basically for fun while hoping to make some cool cash  and if along the line I blow my money then, a chilled bottle of beer does the trick of getting over the loss.

But on cases of bad losses which isn't so common with me, then I think hanging out with friends helps as we could talk about a whole lot of things(I have crazy friends tho).
Most times bad losses come as a result of trying to recover a previous loss, which leads to revenge betting and greater losses.

It's good that you were able to recognize where you went wrong in gambling. Self-assessment and acceptance is essential for you to move forward and break free from your bad gambling habits. Which in your case is chasing winnings despite its consequences. Increasing your bet over time doesn't necessarily mean that you would also win big. It all depends on probability and your luck. If you think you can win if you bet more and more, then you are wrong. It isn't always the case as every game is different in nature. Unless you are playing lottery, but the odds of you winning is also slim given the number of balls to be drawn.

In gambling, the player must really know how to control himself. Otherwise, your bad habits will take over and control you instead. You should be a responsible gambler and not just a mere gambler who don't know the right approach and attitude in certain situations. You have to take care of yourself or else, you'll end up miserable because you get addicted in gambling. Gambling is addictive and if you won't learn how to control yourself, you won't survive in this industry. You'll just end up being trapped into series of downfall that you'll eventually feel remorse upon yourself for not doing better when you knew better. 

What I noticed about my friends is that gambling is not that fun, all of them are looking for a way to bet with small amount to win a very big amount, but none of them has won this way before and the small amount the are betting with is becoming bigger. Only few occasions that we win and that is when we bet on just one or few matches. Because people are using gambling as a means of looking for and chasing after money brings emotions and losses are the result. Gambling can be fun, but I think just for only few people that see it as a means of not making money but to have fun when they have nothing they are doing.

What you say is quite representative of us as betting lovers, and I agree with what you say.

Often times we get stuck in a mindset like "this time we'll win", but in reality most of it doesn't live up to our expectations.
IMO, this will be a problem if we don't change the mindset. and as you said, be careful with things that are fun.
those words should be a reference for us to be able to control the situation, not easy, because I believe the hardest part is self-control.

as I said before, if we don't change the mindset. it can be a problem, something pleasant can be a disaster. not only on psychology, but also has an impact on greater material losses.

Having bad loss can way you down, if you can't control or contain the loss. If I have a bad loss,it means that I shouldn't gamble any more because If continue playing and think of winning everything you loss then am sorry, if possible you might also loss your head. I will go visit a friend which I can share my loss story with,so that can give me words of advice and even cheer me up with his funny jokes about people that have even lost more than I have. Then finally,we will both go to the cinema to watch a movie.

After all that I won't gamble for some period of time so that I can save my gambling money to recover one or two expenses am suppose to use some of the money I gambled with.

Eat and sleep.  ;D You can't do anything about it, there's no load point on where you could go return to a specific time so might as well swallow the truth that you loss and just sleep on it.
Don't even try to chase the loss as you may end up swelling the damage that was done. There are other things to do and it would be better to just focus on those to forget what happened.

This situation is directly proportional to the size of your loss. If your loss is great, it will not affect you no matter what the people around you say. It also has to do with your psychology. The stronger your psychology, the less you will be affected. If you are saying that we will win this time, you probably will not win. You just have to stay calm and plan with the resources you have. It's not easy to make this plan, but you still try. If you continue in this way after a loss, you may experience irreversible losses. So you have to stay calm and plan for yourself. This can prevent you from making any more losses.

Depends a bit where I am and who is around me. The first step after a big loss doesn't matter if it's in a physical casino or in online gambling is to take a break. In the past I tried a few times to recover big losses immediately, but that never worked and only lead to losing more money. Now I need at least several days to clear my head and get my emotions back in check. If I don't take a break I keep focusing on my previous loss and will not appreciate any small winnings, and my risk tolerance is not adjusted. The immediate reaction after a big loss in a physical casino is to get drunk with my friends and try to forget everything. I would give a good friend my wallet and tell him to not lot let me gamble again that night. When I am at home and gamble alone than I would close all gambling sites, take some chocolate and chips and retreat to the couch, watch one of my favourite movies and try to sleep after a sugar shock.

The main difficulty that gamblers experience when they lose is the restlessness of the mind that engulfs their minds at that moment. This is a crucial point for someone to be able to do other things when their mind is not fully focused on what they are doing but as you said I agree a little, that is by sleeping, a person's mind pattern will disappear from restlessness and when he wakes up he will return  with a fresh mind. Maybe it can be an option for those who feel what to do when they experience a big loss in gambling. Besides that, another factor that is easy to do to forget about defeat is refreshing.

what I experienced back then was not because I increased the bet. I still bet with the same amount. it's just that I do it in various ways in slot games. the method of buying the free spins and normal spins. But from this method there is no win at all. Then doing another deposit, and so on until a week has passed. That's when I realized that I was too stupid to think there would be a winning period at that time, so I used the money without thinking.for here i know if I wasn't playing for fun but playing without thinking to burn a lot of money lol.

its simple think but give huge impact to our psychology, while our mind refresh there is no more emotion thay could make us uncontrolled and careless with the game. Gamblers still easily influence by their emotion ,so thier mind only focus on how recover their money and forget about logical

In general when I need to get over anything that got me depressed I take some time away from it until I feel better. I also try to socialize, spend time with my family friends and do things which I enjoy.

Since we are talking about money I try these activities not to have much to do with money (nothing expensive) so I can forget about it or heal faster.
I am very casual so I have not had a big loss yet, but that is probably I would do to feel better in a couple of weeks.  ;)

Good luck.

If you have fun then you won't consider the money you lost a loss but you will treat it as a kind of fee to experience a fun and thrilling ride inside the gambling place. Some of us knew that making money in gambling is hard but they still try because they believe on their ability and experience.

It's possible for them to accept their defeats but there are times that they can go beyond their limits, making them feel bad about it later on. You feel frozen after a loss maybe because you can't believe it happened and you can't think of ways on how to get over it. In my case, I will be panicky and start thinking of ways on how to earn money again.

We know that emotions would be always there which it could really affect peoples decision on the most simplest way which is really that depending on how someone could really be able to control up their emotions.
Some are good and some arent thats why we do see different decisions and actions to be made on various situations or events because there are indeed factors which could really affect out
our decisions and actions been made of.When we do talk about on how to get over on a bad loss then i do mostly be getting away from my pc and do some activity like playing up basketball
or just simply be watching out some TV just to ease up the frustration and disappointment inside.It wont be that simple but it is something a good way on distracting yourself.

Yes, even it I play on landbased casino's it was really a great experience and you will not think of the money that you loss that night. Maybe you can afford to lose it, or it was just the experience of playing in a casino again with so many people around you winning big.

But for others, specially in online, it's very hard to get over, maybe the best thing to do is to really quit that game and not think about that money. If you don't have someone to talk to in the house, just browse the net and look for positive thoughts so that you can forgot about your bad experience that night.

Everybody does have bad loses while some can be big while other small but it is necessary for us to make sure that we stay tight and safe. It is always advised for us to gamble with the amount we know that we can afford to lose. We should not be greedy to the extend when we use a bigger fund to bet which could later make us to regret of our actions.

Most time when I have a bad day of loses I joy relief myself and try and take something that will releave me and make me relax. Relaxation is necessary when we have a bad day and should not allow our bad day or bad time to deprive us of the joy we need to have in the morning.

Losing has never been that a good feeling on which people would experience.Of course some would be in rage and some would just simply walk away and cry and even gets angry.
Getting over with losses or on times of frustration then it would be most likely be on distracting yourself via doing other activities or hobbies that you do have.
You should really prepare yourself with those disappointments once you had decided on touching up gambling.It do involves lots of winnings and losing
scenarios which you should make yourself able to accept on those things on point.

It all depends on your definition of a bad loss. It might mean losing big or gambling all your money after a big win. When I was young and very naive, I use to have some experiences when I gambled more than I can bear. In such moments I usually remember that there are times I have also won. The remembrance of my wins most times gives me the good feelings I need to overcome my sadness and regrets. Sometimes hanging out with friends or playing my favorite songs is another escape strategy.

But currently, I hardly have bad losses. This is because I now have a budget for gambling and I see gambling as entertainment. I would never gamble more than I can bear. I have limits to the amount I can bet games with and I try as much as possible not to exceed that amount.

Usually I watch a funny movies to forget that I had a bad day in gambling. Then I will stop playing for a while to get over the losses, but it depends on the amount that I lost. Sometimes it takes weeks for me before I will return playing again and that is if I already have a budget to play again.

If you have a bad day much better to do other activities that can make you forget what happened. This way, you can also prevent yourself from chasing your losses in gambling.

Yes, that's another way to get rid of the memory of a bad loss. Maybe watch some funny movies with your love ones and have a good laugh. At least removed that negative vibrations and emotions coming from that bad loss and you will be good throughout the day.

Or just have a small take with anyone close to you, maybe you can tell your story to him/her, about how to try to cope with that huge loss in gambling. And for sure you will get some good advise along the way.

The last time I did is Bike Packing , I packed my things for camping and take a 12 hours Bike to isolated place and put my camp and have my Beer and Barbeque.

stayed there for the whole day and night reminiscing what I am doing wrong because i really did a big loss that day.

for those who are having a bad days in gambling , better to learn your lesson to not lose big again next time.

You do simple entertainment that means a lot to you.
but it will not mean much to the gambler who is already completely addicted.
Have you ever seen a gambler who lost big and slammed his phone or computer furiously? some gamblers do, though that doesn't take away the annoyance.
some gamblers do something negative, and some like you, do something better.

I have never experienced a major loss. because I always limit the money in the casino. resentment persists even if the loss is small. but overcoming it all is easier than a big loss.

It can be a way to deal with the sadness we experience so that by watching a funny movie, we will laugh and the hormone of joy will replace the hormone of sadness. But once you get over your sadness, it's better not to go back to gambling because you can get another loss and it can make you feel sad again.

The important thing is that we know how to deal with the defeats we experience so that we don't keep thinking about those defeats. This may have something to do with the attitude we need to take to deal with grief.

Yes exactly correct mate it depends on the gambler itself because as we all know that gambler can do anything of he will win or loss the game, and in My case what I am saying is what I do when I am in loss. And some gamblers do it and also other did not do it they are do something what they feel good for a loser, like watching movie like what ethereumhunter do if he loss, and others are eating foods and many more.

When you do that then the time you waste is very useless, it's better to use the 12 hours of time you have to do other work activities that have the potential to make money than having to buy beer and other expensive drinks it will only make you add to the budget you have to spend. you pay, or use the available time to sleep because this way will make you feel better and ready to do other activities.

It's hard to come out from a bad loss, it usually takes time my favorite thing to do is to take a break from gambling and do other hobbies until the memory of the bad loss disappears, it usually takes 3 to a week before I got out of bad loss, I hate bad loss and this is a thing that should be avoided, you can lose why not but not a loss coming from chasing losses or you've compelled for a reason to deposit a huge amount.

I love that statement you just said @ "I would never gamble more than I can bear" because thou nobody pray or plans for a bad lose, but such inevitable but can be prevented by gambling with an amount you can afford to lose, rather than gambling with a hope that there will be a miracle, hence forgetting that gambling is like a double-sided coin whereby you can either win or lose fund with respect to how lucky or unlucky you are at the moment

If you know that everything is going so hard and long for you, then why are you allowing it? Analyze your path in gambling and see if you have won or lost more at the moment, what is the overall balance? If you lose more, then what's the point of allowing big losses, try to minimize losses until they become imperceptible to you, make it entertainment. Worrying about for a whole week is not good.

No matter how big or small the loss is, it's gonna take a toll on your mental fortitude if you let it get the better of you. That's why you could see people just slumped over like a dead man in most of massive casinos outside. They're literally drained to the point of exhaustion. Personally, I just divert my attention to anything that does not involve gambling, especially when a loss I took is quite big. I usually just take a stroll, talk to random people, discuss life with friends online or in person, anything really. But I would really suggest socializing either with old friends or with new ones.

If you chased your losses, you are just putting yourself into another problem, chances of losing more would disappoint you, better to quit and stay away for a while, get good breathing away from any gambling activities. It's tough, but if you care about your finances, it should be your practice not to chase your losses. Keep in mind that it's best to play to enjoy not to add up more problems after losing your funds.


I will do the same, diverting yourself into something that will keep your mind busy will allow you to recover from that kind of bad experienced, losing some money will still affects you to the point that you'll chase it and wanting to try to recover the amount.

I think if someone needs time to get rid of the consequences of losing, it's because the money they spend is too big so they turn their attention to other hobbies so of course they will be stressed after knowing they lost and regretting it, so it's better for fun and don't exceed the money from its capacity, enough with minimal capital but you are happy to play the game without having to be disappointed due to a bad defeat, I've experienced something like this but I've changed the pattern where I shouldn't be depressed due to defeat, so I decided to capitalize it as my reference.

Everyone wins and loses gambling. That is a fact and always will be. Losing at gambling is never fun, but you have to make sure you don't get tilted, because then things go from bad to worse of course. And everyone has had a bad temp at one time or another, just so much so that we've all had a lucky win once in a while. That makes it fun and ensures that the adrenaline keeps flowing, so to speak. But make sure you don't spend your whole assets with gambling.

Good advice bud, chasing loses is very common with gambling as well as trading, i can remember vividly one time i lost over $200 in a day trading crypto currency in a futures market, $200 is a good amount of money i wasn't prepared to lose at all so the loss made me really agree and i started looking for a way to recover back that money by all means, i began trading again hoping to win a trade along the line that will help me recover all the loses, but unfortunately, it wasn't a good day, in my chase to recover my loss, i ended up losing about $570 in total.

And the story is same with gambling, many gamblers end up creating much loses for themselves by chasing their loses and trying to recover it back, when you see a gambler who knows when to quit for the day and keep his happiness, then you just saw a good and disciplined gambler.

Nobody wants a bad loss, but in gambling it is bound to happen to us. Usually it will come to beginners who are still controlled by the desire to win and play with emotion. You are right, doing other activities so that we forget the loss is one way that can be done. Because if we just keep quiet and keep thinking about it, it will only make things worse because we will continue to be reminded of things we don't want to feel. It will not be easy, but with time all these bad things will surely disappear from our minds.

First of all I start to be focused in other betting events (if I am gambling in sport event) Just to see if there Is something for an immediate bet.
Otherwise I am Just focused in other activities likewise go in the Gym,Watch TV anything not related to sports betting.
Generally speaking I try to be not influenced by any loss or win just remain focused on my bets and continue to follow a strategy.

Its never been sensible on a particular game for you to bet if you cant really make some analysis of it but of course it would really be talking about sports betting but for typical casino games which
doesnt really need out any analysis then you could anytime play as you do like.How to get over a bad loss?
There are lots of things which you could really make yourself get distracted on minding about your loss or redirecting or distracting your emotion via
doing some other things which would really make you forget on what you had experienced recently.

This were most people got it wrongly at trying to recover from their lost will keep them draining, meaning they are try to chase lost while keep losing anyone who wants to be on a long run on the gambling industry should learn how to distance himself from the gambling arena or site otherwise such persons won't escape losing more funds, and causing damages to himself also to his household.

And maybe when you sleep, that is only the way that you can travel back in time and avoid making a bet because you know that you will lose or you can also bet on the correct team/side. The only problem is, it's only a dream and as soon as you wake up, you will still be a loser but seriously, sleeping is hard to do when you overthink on one thing.

About eating, I think this is more doable, especially if what we are eating are delicious foods. When our stomach is full, our mood feels great too. Chasing a bad loss is risky but I think it's considered as one of the way to get over a bad loss. I know it's sound strange but there are instances that we get extremely lucky after redepositing and playing for the last time.

Losing is one big disadvantage of gambling as it drains the gambler, and might as well triggered the gambler to bet again inother to gain back his money, but the more he places a bet, likely loses. I have been in that situation for a specific time and trust me, it's not worth experiencing because it's drained all the money I had in that particular period of time. Eating and sleeping also helps ease the mind and makes you rest. Fun is also one the things I do whenever I losses, I hangout with my friends or visit a tourist center, or do anything that makes me happy at the moment so I don't have mood swing.

Loosing a bet is always followed with some sort of sadness, but there's an extent of lose that really makes me feel so sad, Since I started betting, I have lost games to an extent that I don't feel so bad when lost a game because I have become used to loosing game and too it a two ways thing either you or you win, therefore I don't stake money that I can't afford to loose. however in this case what I normally do to get over this is either chill out with friends or find something that I will put attention and keep myself busy in order to forget about the lose.

Sometimes you have to accept the loss, you may find yourself in a very different time while trying to regain what you lost. I've had bad betting times that I just couldn't stop myself from. Usually, when I lose, my mood deteriorates, I leave my luck for later, I'm trying to stop and breathe and move on to something that I can focus on differently.. I'm not getting into the desire to always continue easily.

Indeed, right, a good and discipline gambler can take short or long time inside the casino without risking that much money but most of the time they are capable of enjoying not just the winning amount but the activities that they did inside the house, its applies both online and offline casinos, gamblers who knows how to quit when it is needed are mostly not prone to get into addictions, they can accept their defeats and know how to move forward and forget in chasing the losses from that particular event.

They are more into getting some air and quit to relax out, and going back with much fresh mindsets. Most of the time they are doing good in recovering, even it takes some time with a small amount of winning amount.

I've found the best thing to do is give yourself a break from gambling. At least, I know when I've had a bad loss in the past it has put me off losing any more money again in the same way, what's the saying - the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again but expecting different results. You should definitely try to adjust your technique or strategy afterwards, if you think there is a skill element involved (i.e. not pure casino games) but sports betting or poker. If you're playing for fun with a set amount, which is probably a bad idea because it's forming habits, then you might be more disconnected from the loss as long as you walk away not caring after all your money is gone in the session.

There is a type of people who do not know how to lose, in which case it will not even depend on the amount of the loss itself, the very fact that they lost will upset them. Here I can only advise not to bet, but advice is not a grateful thing, everyone must decide for himself what is best for him. The time that was spent on betting should be replaced with another hobby, this can help and see if the desire passes, if not, then you need to control yourself in order to prevent big losses.

When I make a bad loss (big loss) I try to read novels/watch movies and/or I try to take a rest. I stop playing/gambling for a few days/weeks/months and I try to restart playing after several days/weeks/months. And I continue playing until I make another big loss on another gambling/casinos.

On my take, it's not sometimes but it should be a have to accept your defeats and make sure to move on and not to dwell with your losses, even how huge or big it is, if you know how quit and forget about it, then you are helping yourself to avoid to make another deposits, it's tough but if you don't want to lose a lot, then you need to practice how to let go and not to push to yourself trying to recover your losses.

There's always an enjoyment if you know how to dwell with your losses.

I got surprised by a gambler that tells me about his kind of lifestyle on how henget over the bad losses whenever he gambles and loose, he said he go to the liquor bar and get drunk to forget everything that has happened all through the day and over night, but i keep asking that the mark it has created on him will still always bear the dent everytime he remembers, getting drunk is not the solution because the alcoholic effect may only last but few hours, wjen you're back to your senses you will still remember the losses, thiugh i try to suggest to him to retrace back his steps, gambling taftics and take low risk by using a small amount to gamble with and in due time he will begin to realise some changes from how things have been before and present.

It is difficult on my own part. I will feel extremely sad throughout that period i have not been able to find a way to calm my nerves when i experience heavy loss. Sometimes food works but not always. If the loss isn't much food can help me get over it but when it involves something huge i have to wait till i am able to get over it myself

Maybe you must leave all activities for a while to recover from the loss.
It's hard but you have to try it if you don't want to experience constant sadness.
Whatever losses you experience, you must be able to calm yourself down because otherwise, all your activities can be chaotic and you can't focus on doing them.
But I'm sure you can handle it and even if it takes time, it's okay and it's better to keep trying to calm down.

The first thing I try to do after a loss is to distract my thoughts away from it. To do this I try to find a way to  channel your energies. Honestly, it is not easy but then in the long run it produces some sort of relief for me. The dangers of not trying to distract my thoughts and focus on something else is that, if I focus on the loss, I will automatically gravitate towards it. And I end up never forgetting it. In addition to the above, I do not shift the blame anywhere else, as this will creates excuses. I ensure to take responsibility for the loss and use it as my drive. During this period, I listen to my favorite songs, go for a swim, and catch up with old buddies via phone calls.
 

When a gambler is repeatedly losing money in gambling, he must find out the reasons for his loss. He must come up with a change in his strategy. If it still doesn't work then he must take refrain from some times and find his lackings again. Luck is an important factor in the gambling life if it is not favor then there is nothing to do. If you keep losing, taking a break and restarting it, will definitely be effective.

Reading novels seriously? I think this one needs imagination but it's hard to do that when your mind is still occupied with a bad a loss which you got earlier but maybe watching movies can be doable since you are already seeing the visuals in your screen. Taking a rest is also one of the things that is hard to do when your mind is not yet in the mood but it can be possible once you are done watching a good movie since your mind will now think of that movie and you start to forget about your bad loss.

It makes sense to quit for a while because your budget for the week/month is already used up but some addict gamblers will look for ways to obtain money to play gambling again. Let's hope we don't lead there.

You are right when there is a significant loss there thinking/imagination power should decrease but I feel okay with reading novels though it requires more concentration than watching any movie or something like that. But I enjoy reading romantic novels very much. Actually, I try to minimize my depression after making a significant loss.

For me, the thing to do is clearly obvious: to disappear.
Normally people do this when they earn a lot. But it happens to me in the opposite way. If I've lost big, I need to be away from gambling and my daily life for a while. I usually go to my friends outside the city. I'm gonna take a walk, try to distract myself. Because if I force myself to keep going, I'll lose more money. After relaxing a little, I go back and continue playing.

Quit gambling for the time being for time is the best thing you can do and it saves you from losing more money. I know some people cannot bear that they have lost the money in gambling, they keep on playing with the hope that they may recover their loss but usually when you play for revenge gambling, you will lose more and more. There s no way gambling houses will give you chance that you recover your money.

You can stop gambling for the day, or week depending on how big you have lost. I have allocated certain budget for my gambling need and if the budget is exhausted i am done with gambling and wait for the next month budget to gamble. In this way, i know my limits on how much i can lose in a month and it eases pressure on me and give me pleaser & fun while gambling.

If he's already lost repeatedly, there's no need to find out or try to recover from his losses because that could trigger him to take even more losses.
All he needed to do was restrain himself and leave the casino before it was too late and he only regretted losing so much money.
Luck is a factor that every gambler should have and if they don't see their luck coming after a few spins, he doesn't need to continue it but just stop immediately.
And by leaving the casino, he can rest and relieve tension after playing and if he can do other activities, he can quickly forget about the disadvantages of gambling.

Calming yourself after suffering with big losses is not an easy task but yes it's doable just needed to have a good mindset, and a lot of diversion to take time moving away from your gambling activities, it's not easy as it is but by practicing things it will not new to you. You can keep your gambling after recovering yourself from that experienced.

Doing other alternative activities that can keep you away from gambling will allow you to think clearly.

Once you come back, you are all clear and you will be able to enjoy your stay.

That is only a temporary solution as you say,I always get enraged when I lose a big amount and I lost a decent amount just a couple of days ago as I was deceived by the slot machine,it gave me a lot with the lowest bet thus making me raise my bet and losing it all soon after.I always after such happening get enraged and think that I will quit gambling definitely while the maximum I have stayed away is just a couple of days or a couple of weeks in my best tries,this does not work for the longer term when you quit for the time being.

Trying to recoup loses is the mother of all evil in gambling which leads inevitably in most cases to gambling addiction,it should be avoided at all cost.

there's no better method than diverting our minds to other activities that help lighten the load after a bad loss.
like you said, it's not easy for us. because after all, psychologically we are more motivated to make deposits back and recover losses. however, what if luck is not on our side, only another loss that we will get if we follow the ego to make a deposit again.

the only thing we can do in that bad phase, is to distract ourselves. seems complicated, but with full understanding and awareness. diversion of the mind to other activities, is a medicine for us to avoid even greater losses. and we can start, when the situation is back to normal.

That's not a solution that he provided but rather a way to cope up or get over with the loss during his gambling session. If you want a solution or a permanent solution to avoid losing money on gambling is to stop it. You might enrage with you loses however quitting for a while and doing other things to get your mind of it will relieve your rage or regret on your gambling activity.

Continuing gambling while you're at loss or even ahead will likely end up bad for you as you will likely loss all of it on the long run.

I agree, if you are personally feeling like there is something wrong and you should stop, or feeling like you are too much angry at something that you are losing money to that you don't have to, then it's a problem and you should stop. I gamble because I have fun, I do not feel like I am losing money, I feel like I am having fun and in return paying money to the place that allowed me to have so much fun.

But, if you do not feel that way, if you are feeling angry and enraged, then why would you want to pay a place to make you feel angry? That just doesn't make any sense at all. If you are having hard time quitting, get professional help as well.

Depends on what you like with gambling. If you really intend to stop permanently then you will have to accept the loss and burn all the ships behind you. Often people go on and have too much lost money in their heads, that's when the problems really start. It's hard not to think about that. That is why bank role management is important. Many people have said it many times before but I want to repeat it again: only play with money you can afford to lose and consider it play money. You should not gamble knowing that you will get rich quickly, because the only thing that will happen quickly is that you will go bankrupt.

Once you do make out deposit on a gambling site then you should consider those amounts to be lost already because in most cases where gamblers do always lose their money on the end which means
that if you had already been anticipating that your money is lost then losing them wont really hurt that much and you wont really be that minding that much which means it woudnt really be that stressful
on your part.There's some people who arent really that good when it comes on handling out their emotions and reactions towards losses which it do end up on being impulsive
and ending up on making bad decisions which is something that not really that appealing to look at.

Such a mentality won't arise, but it is how we need to get into gambling. We should not expect the amount to be ours, once we've made the deposit.

Luck is the prime factor that gets us win, even though we're good in making strategy and decisions on the outcome of the events.

Handling emotions is a must, because most of the time when we experience loss we loss control and end up losing everything. For that if we were able to keep ourselves under control we can limit the loss.

Getting over a bad loses is just too uneasy for us especially if we have gamble with the fund that is meant for something else. It is never easy like the way we might think depending on what particular game took the money and what the money would have been used for.
Getting over a bad lose is uneasy and slightly difficult to achieve but we might not have the full momentum to get over but all we just have to do is to keep moving in respective of how huge the loses could have been.

The only thing that relaxes me when I always lose playing gambling here in crypto gambling is watching movies like action, comedy and

motivational shows and I often watch them on Youtube, Prime Video, and Netflix. That's why they are also a big deal for me, sometimes I walk

around inside our subdivision with my son or eat outside to unwind with my family, things like that.

I get over a bad loss by watching comedy videos and hanging out with friends or sometimes go somewhere peaceful most epecially the seashore where you can only hear and see nature. Sometimes depending on the weather here if I am not able to go out I play games but not all the time as it can also give me stress, though I play MIR4 and PUBG.

It is that this is called playing with intelligence, that of investing for me is the best game that one can have and it does not matter that many years pass, if you have a bitcoin and then it goes up 100 times more is something that has no price, it is something that should be enjoyed when it happens, for me it would be great if a person could go through that, and what you say is very wise, if all the players bet the money that they only allow themselves to lose, they would be giving a great blow to addiction, already addiction would not be a problem because it would simply be something totally overcome, but if and only if people see the game that way, otherwise I think it is very difficult for them to reach a level of that understanding.


That is a great way to cope with the loss, there comes a time when you have to forget and get over it, usually what I did is do any activity but not go near the PC or something like going into a casino, because it makes me angry with myself, so sometimes I drain it by playing soccer or hitting my punching bag, sometimes physical activity is what makes us forget everything, when it's a sport the head clears much more, the thought is something that everyone likes humans always have, you can't fight against that, because it's something that determines us, it's like conscience, however I think that anything that makes us forget is good.

There are lots of ways since there are different interest where people been involved into.If they could really make themselves get along on watching movies on easing out anger or disappointment, then they would definitely be doing that. Whereas there are people who are interested on doing sports or other physical activities on which they could really make out distraction into themselves and continue to deal up.
Overcoming emotion is something that really very that hard when you dont really know on how to control your emotion.Getting over would really be that easy if you dont mind much
about your gambling losses and could easily move on but there are people who cant just do it simply.

After all, calming down is something you should do after suffering a small or big loss.
And yes, diverting by doing something else will help you not to think about the losses you've had before.
We must keep trying because we don't want to feel sad all the time.
And if we get used to diverting our minds after suffering that defeat, it won't take long to calm down.
And after that, we can forget the disappointments that we have experienced and return to other activities with no burden.

It's good if you can handle losing money in gambling so that it doesn't make you feel sad for too long.
There are many ways we can overcome sadness. We just have to try them individually to find the most effective way to help us forget the loss quickly.
We can easily control the feeling of losing money and our emotions in gambling so that we do not experience even greater losses.

Frankly speaking, I'd prefer thinking about how to avoid big/bad loss than thinking about favorite thing to do when I'm in a bad loss. Preventing is always better, isn't it? However, in case I'm in a bad loss, it is obvious that I did not play as what I should (beyond my own limit). If this thing happened to me, I'll do nothing except accept it and forget about it by doing some positive activities such as sports (I do like to go to gym and fishing) and stay away from gambling for a while to reduce the greed of loss recovery.

Yeah, right, better than experiencing it. If you can avoid, then why not right? Though bad loss really happens and we do have different take and budget when we participate or when you go to any gambling sites, losing all your funds will really hurt you and will give regrets on why you let yourself lose your money instead of avoiding it.

You will regret it but you need to move forward and find ways to divert your attention, better than keeping yourself sending money to try recovering your losses.

As they say, time heals anything, so that will take some time to forget and get over with the bad losses we experienced.

Even me is somehow guilty about this because in the past, there's are times that I tend to spend some funds that is intended for other use in-order to continue my gambling or with the hopes to get what I've lost but in most cases, I didn't manage to regain it and just got barely got home with a penny in my pocket. That's where I've learned my lessons, that is why now I'm just carrying enough that I can afford to lose and so that I won't go overboard again.

This is very relaxing, for me I will take a walk in the neighborhood, and when I got home I will try to Re assess to where part of the game I am missing so I can correct it and I can make a different version of myself in the next few days if I will play again, it is very hard to have a huge losses but let us try to prevent this thing to happen in the future by finding our weakest point in our play.

I've been on a losing streak and I'd rather watch a few movies, but hours later the thought still bothers me.
I'm also a fan of the PUBG game, but it's true bro, for a while maybe we will forget our losses.
But a few hours later while playing PUBG only made my mood worse because I lost in the game and I didn't enjoy the game.
In the end what I did was call some friends and go to a coffee shop and try to joke with friends.

When I lose a large amount in an online casino, I get distracted from gambling. 

For example, I love watching epic TV shows.  Recently I watched the series "House of the Dragon" (prehistory of "Game of Thrones").  The show was amazing!  Each of the Targaryens is incredibly charismatic!  When you watch such bright colorful shows, the bitterness of losing a game of chance quickly passes.

My inner player is recovering quickly and ready for a new game...

Re-assess and find ways to limit yourself in terms of finances that you will going to use, having a bad loss and dwell with that feelings will only let you feel regret, but if you can take some time walking around or find ways to divert your attentions, it will be easy to you to move forward and forget about what happen to your game.

Just take time to free some space inside your mind and make sure that you have a good understanding that accepting your losses will allow you to enhance your gambling experiences and if you take it for your own good, you will try harder not to repeat that same mistake again.

I kinda like to get out and doing something to get some happiness going again after a big loss. It could be as simple as going for a walk to get some fresh air or as far as booking a nice holiday as something to look forward to in the future. However I've gotten to the point where it is rare to wager a large amount because the returns are rarely worth the chance of losing it all. I might even divert money towards some other hobby, even buying company stocks after doing some research - to know that at least the next batch of money went into something more productive and less likely to lose everything, with a good chance of going up in value and paying back extra over time.

However your bad loss might be the loss isnt as great as damage to your live or lungs which other past times people spend money on can do .  Just maintain a positive attitude, anything can happen in life and remember this is just a game you will sometimes win sometimes lose.  Try to avoid relying on a gamble for something certain or reliable, its all quite random often.   1 good lesson is split up your amount gambled over a week or monthly schedule, 1 night is never the best time to bet all.

Accepting the losses even in a hard way without doing anything is really a tough thing to do but nothing choice we have.

It's either, stopping gambling to prevent that worst experience to happened again or just being fully prepared mentally and coming back again to gambling after a big loss.

As a gambler for a long, these gamblers should know how to deal with that losing experience.

We all have many problems and often lose friends in various situations and conditions. But that should not make us sad because there must be a time for us to get up and go back through each day and we want to make the next days better than yesterday. And when you lose money in gambling, maybe you need to revise what you have done with introspection and try not to make the same mistakes. And you've already given an example of trying to eliminate the sadness of losing money in gambling.

It is easier to say than to do. I am also one of those people who get sad and irritated if I lose money because of gambling. It wouldn't help me and wouldn't get back my losses, but there are instances where you feel it so that you can learn from it. I always have a lesson from my big losses, so I can't do it again. We are humans, and we have emotions. Let's feel them, then move on from them since they can't help you if you feel them for a few days or weeks. As others have said, time heals, so for now, feel that sadness, but I am sure you'll wake up tomorrow and realize that you are okay.

Taking a break after a bad loss, and find something that makes you happy in life is a good way. I usually stop gambling when I have a bad loss, and start reading some books or playing some computer games. That means I would be able to just focus on something much better, which will make me happy.

When I am reading a book it makes me imagine being in that world and takes me away from the world that I lost in gambling, I am not the guy who lost money on gambling I am the guy going to mars to colonize it. Or playing computer games is the same, I am no longer gambling loser, I am Arthur trying to help the wild west get a bit better with my good deeds and helping people in need.

Reflection of things done that leads to bad losses is really a good traits of people who wanted to be in control of their game.  Reflection made us realize our faults and errors and enable us to create a counter strategy to avoid the same mistakes again.  Many successful people often do this stuff since that take everything seriously when it comes to winning or being successful in their venture no matter what kind it is.


Same here I always take a break after a bad loss to shrug out the unlucky stuff.  I also accept the loss and move on skipping some weeks to at least replenish my bankroll and have a fresh start.

I will advise a gambler who love to learn something new especially from their mistakes to give in to reading, developing a reading habit is am essential means to train and build oneself on gambling when we get materials that enlights more about gamblings included in the list of the curriculum we do our daily lives, it's not all about falling but refusing to learn why the fall could have been avoided, there must always be a means to help get over the experience we had with gambling it we truly want to avoid any further reoccurrence of such mistake.

If we are talking about a really bad loss; I go out and wander around for a few hours... Especially at times like these, it is good for me to walk a little and sit on benches where no one is present. This is my therapy method and when I do this, I clear my head again and continue my life where I left off. That is the best I can do, and that is what I usually do... We live a short life. We shouldn't let things get us down. We shouldn't be hung up on bad things that happen to us. I wish everyone good luck...

I absolutely agree with you. Reading helps a person develop and learn something new all the time. Also, I would advise each gambler to have some kind of hobby, which would bring pleasure and was aimed at improving health. No matter what it will be, fishing, skiing or running, as long as the hobby helps to distract from the problems, which in today's world are so much and strengthen the psycho-emotional health of man.

Gambling losses arent the only ones or a thing that we could experienced up possible frustrations and anger which there are even certain normal scenarios or situations which could really give out that
kind of impact which could lead into that frustration or rage which will really make even more possible mistakes or wrong step forward in towards your actions.
Getting over a bad loss might sound really that simple but there are people who are really that too impulsive when it comes to these things which
they do make the situation even more worst.Distracting that anger or stress should really be redirected into those hobbies that we could possibly deal off or able to do so.

That's just not enough let alone wandering around for a while and contemplating so that my mind becomes clear for me it's not enough to stay emotional there must be that's normal even I have to do more than that even days don't go back to the casino because the losses are so bad I can only forget about losing it's in a few days not a moment like that.
I have to be able to read the situation when bad things happen again so I have to understand what way to do so that it doesn't become too late.

Speaking from experience, the worst thing you could do after tanking a huge loss is dwelling on it. Thinking about the loss over and over again could cause you to spiral uncontrollably into unhealthy practices and habits, such as gambling again in hopes of recovering the loss you took, which is not going to happen most of the time. The best thing you could do for yourself is to go out and touch some grass, meet new people, spend time with your family, and the likes. If you're not into socializing, you could divert your attention to something else, like an article, or that thing you wanted to make a hobby out of but couldn't consistently do because you're "too busy." Try these, you will see the difference.

When you are hit by adversity that is when you see who is your real friend and who is there just faking it, however while it is natural that you are mad for the bad loss you suffered and for how long you had to work in order to overcome those emotions, do not be mad about losing those persons as your friends because they were never your friends on the first place, if anything be happy as you no longer have those toxic people in your life anymore.

I very much agree with this.

Dwelling on your loss won't do you any good. You can no longer change what already occurred. You just have to accept the fact that you lost and you must move forward keeping all the lessons it taught you. It will be hard to just forget and move on, most especially if it's your first loss or it's a massive loss on your part. But you can do several ways to alleviate the pain and distract yourself from repeatedly thinking about it, worrying about it, and regret about it.

You might want to try doing your hobbies or exploring new things that will make you feel better to get over from your loss. Distraction could probably work because you'll keep your mind occupied to avoid thinking negative thoughts. It is often the advice even of the professionals to get over with something you can no longer control.

that looks a bad idea to recover your loss, Working in 18 hours is look crazy and you don't care about your health. I believe you will makes the money back, but what a point here is you will lost your friends and you will sick. If you sick and bed rest, you can't gambling and you can't back the money back. Man, you have to balance with your life, don't be too force to return your money.

actually that is Insane mate, 18 hours a day? i cannot even stand 15 hours working day because that is too tiring and why need to lose my self or health just because of my stupid mistakes from gambling?


and also Losing a friend because of some mistakes in life shows only one thing , that those people are not truly a friend ..

and also , try not to do the same mistakes again and that will change everything in life.

I am also a person who has experienced many defeats and it makes me sad and upset like you. But we don't recover from that loss by getting a big win, although there will be some gamblers who can get it. But still, it will not be easy and it may cost more money to gamble.

What you say is true and is a valuable lesson for us so that we will not repeat the same mistakes and can avoid big losses. So we better try to heal that sadness, forget it, and make it a lesson for us. We will definitely feel fine the next day and no longer have to feel sad.

if you can establish that realization you won't be dwelling with such kind of mistakes and it will give you a better overview not to repeat that same mistake, you can enjoy your gambling activities without losing a lot, if you know how to manage your funds and you already have that knowledge when to quit when you already losing decent amount from your bankroll, there's always another day to play, forget about pushing your luck and trying to recover your losses.

Give time to think and rest your mind to re-create a good strategy and a clear mind when trying to play again. Best to find the entertainment and relax your brain in not to think too much.

A bad loss must serve as a warning and a lesson at the same time that we should put limitations on betting and wager only the funds that we can afford to lose. We shouldn't put too much pressure on our gameplay but rather enjoy it with a positive mind. Losing is already a part of our gambling journey but we should still be smart not to chase it. If we're experiencing a loss streak, stopping or pausing will be a good help where we could breathe and relax for a moment. As long as we know how to manage our gambling funds, we can easily get over our bad losses by moving forward and learning from the gambling mistakes that caused us losses.
