I’ve been gambling for a long time which make sme experience tons of losses and gains at the same time. On this topic, I listed below the typical scenario whenever I experience loss. I notice this before but I’m ignoring it because I don’t want to believe that it’s really the cause.


Scenario when I lose in gambling

• Waking up early morning to play gambling without eating any breakfast
• When someone badgering me behind while I’m playing
• When I already on adrenaline mode after losing more than 50% of my bankroll and start chasing losses using huge bets.
• Gambling late night while I feel already sleepy
• Playing gambling after a recent huge win
• When I already huge amount while I can’t withdraw my balance due to my pending deposit
• Chasing small bets lose while I’m already up by huge profit just to close my balance to nearest whole number
• Playing different games simultaneously while you are already winning to other one

I’m still tracking all my human error that keeps me giving a regular losses when I’m on this condition. Do you have something like this?

The only pattern I can think of at the moment would be about those occasions I logged in on Stake to see whether I had gotten some money and since I had not I would distract myself rolling dices while waiting. When I finally got the Satoshis I was waiting for, then I would usually increase the wager of each roll until I had lost enough to call it a day and withdraw.

I am sure I am not the only one who has experienced something like this, specially among those who receive campaign payments in their casino accounts.  ;)

Also, if you really start gambling before even getting your breakfast, then I would try to correct that. One is supposed to gamble to feel entertained and comfortable. I don't think I could feel that way while I am hungry.

I can also remember that there were times when I was addicted to gambling and I will not sleep in the night while feeling sleepy just because I still want to continue gambling. But I was addicted with sport gambling and all matches would have ended around 1 to am if I use local time. So I sleep around that time.

I noticed that if I win, I want to continue winning. If I lose I want to continue playing to win back the amount of money that I have most. What I always noticed are more loses.

Everything ended when I was not addicted anymore.

Most often when you are losing, you'd be eager to get back with how much you have lost. In order to get that back again, a player would be needing to gamble but if that's not your day you'd just make the losses bigger. This instance simply shows how emotions could take over your cool as a gambler. Losing is indeed expected but since no one wants to, then frustrations would happen or take place, which could also be a root of addiction. But to some, they do manage to not be frustrated and to still have hopes for a better betting outcome the next day. And some are even playing with other gambling games to losen their emotion and frustrations.

You are not alone on this because on a number of occasions I have noticed a similar traits in my gambling life also most especially now that I am sign up on stake as a campaign participant,  most time I keep awak just waiting for my weekly so that I can wager some or stake sport bets with it and most time I always set a percentage amount for my weekly gambling from my pay,  and if I exusted that amount due to loses I sometimes make extra deposits within the week just to try to meet up with the loses but at the end, I may or may not win any game going forward and have to just accept the loses and take a break for the time being.

What ops described is similar to the experience of many of us,  it may be in different ways to similar to each of us since it is all about winning/losing vs human errors that lead to losses.

Experienced a losing streak and my patience run out and then max out.  ;D

You know playing in the middle of the night is actually my favorite thing to do. No one bother's me and I get to stay outside using my laptop while smoking. It keeps me focused when I'm the only one alone and confidently free to open a browser with a casino on the page. It's really bothering when someone is behind watching your bet like they know how to play than you.

I share same experience. The excitement of gambling while waiting the deposit to be confirmed is always my waterloo on gambling. I follow the same pattern as yours that I bet irregular amount just because I feel that I will be lucky due to my excitement.

The end result is me chasing my losses by betting huge amount randomly until I lose everything on a very short period of time. It's very hard to maintain a controlled bet when on this kind of excitement playing. I always use high transaction fee whenever I'm gambling as a solution to this problem of mine.

Just curious mate, does it mean you started playing with prior deposit or new deposit since that deposit got stuck or something?

Either way shouldn't be the case on why withdrawal is not eligible? Just want to know how it happened? Withdrawals should always be allowed as long as it was done thru normal deposits even with new pending deposits.

Because of that, I remember back then when participating a new player promotion. After reaching the wagering requirement, I still able to achieved several winnings but as always, there's a maximum withdrawal and a real deposit should be made first before the profits can be cashout.

When i was gambling addict,I will play full night without a sleep.After the money was totally recovered,I will go to the bet,most of the time the sleeping time will be early morning at 5-6 am.Since I was the freelancer,I will sleep in the morning because of the game.Later I had realised after the warning from my mom.One day my mom had captured me during my college days,then I had stopped to play gambling in my home.Because my mom start to monitor me in the home.After the win,many people had huge free money.So,they will play the many game based on the winnings.Because small bet loss not consider after the big win.

This is most often when I experience defeat and my eyes are sleepy and I am forced to continue playing at least to minimize losses, I don't have to win, it was actually my fault, in the end my weekly betting budget money was used up in a few hours, even though I bet small bets but I was happy when playing against sleepiness apart from feeling adrenaline but feeling sleepy you also have to endure it.

It really is an extraordinary feeling and very hanging, if it is stopped it makes it even more curious because it hasn't played to the end and minimizes the defeat of the game, I'm sure many people feel this too and even have the same reason, because my friends are often like that tired of holding back sleep just to continue the game that could actually be done the next day, but with a feeling of defeat so you have to continue

The timing of gambling matter less to me but playing without breakfast might lead to a lack of concentration which make one lose consistently. Someone badgering or disturbing me can also lead to a lack of concentration. Chasing losses is an easy way to lose more because you are no more playing in a relaxed or entertaining condition. Playing all night when you are feeling sleepy can lead to silly mistakes because you are already exhausted.

When I am troubled due to work stress or family pressure, I tend to lose. When you see gamble as an escape root for problems you might lose control and gamble without restriction. In such a situation you keep gambling until you feel better. This is also a major cause of gambling addiction.

It’s during the time when mempool become loaded with unconfirmed txid dir to the ordinals NFT. The transaction confirmation speed that time becomes very slow even with normal speed fee. I'm using a casino that credit instantly the deposit even its on unconfirmed status. I can play immediately right after I send transaction and recorded on blockchain as unconfirmed but I can't withdraw the funds including the profit untile my deposit reach 3 confirmation. This is the madness kicks in since confirmation that time took 2 to 3 days while my funds is stuck and my impatience grow day by day that result to gamble more to lose it all.

Lack of physical preparedness could be the reason for us to have a hard time focusing in gambling which also has a huge effect on our decision making. Gambling could be our past time but we still have to be sure that we are emotionally and physically ready for it as it needs extreme focus.
Also, our environment should also be a good place to play with whenever it's online of offline. If we're a type of person that couldn't focus on a noisy environment then we should choose a quiet place to be able to focus and attentive. If we're hungry or didn't get enough sleep, we better avoid gambling and try to catch enough rest first as our condition might affect our emotions which plays a vital role in our decision making.

I usually do the opposite, after losing money in gambling I will stop playing for a week because i want my bad luck to stay away and If I play right away, I might get the same result of losing. You have to control yourself and set-up limit, discipline is very important in trading because if you do the same mistake, expect to lose more.

This could be the typical scenario if you still have the budget to gamble despite of losing but if none, I’m sure you’ll be out of gambling for a Month or even longer. Though my usual scenario after gambling is that, I try to watch more sports or the live betting, and go find myself busy with other things. Since, I also have limited budget, I have to control myself and commit with my budget, losing is not easy but you have to accept it.

Couldn't see myself waking up in the morning and the first thing I do is gamble without breakfast but seem like I have done almost all just as much as you have written. Didn't take me long to realize I'm not going to win on casino games.

My experience in Sports betting was that I bet a huge amount for the bookmaker's favorite team and then an upset happened.
And despite how upset is a common occurrence in the MMA sport, I tend to bet on unknown fighters on the cards.

I agree with most of these scenarios that are losing ones while I don't agree with gambling late at night,I usually play deep into the night starting in 20 PM and going up to 2 AM or more and in these sessions I have seen a lot of lost sessions but also my biggest wins are also in such time usually around 11 PM to 1 AM as in here I have hit the x2000 to x3000 which are my biggest multipliers.

All others I fully agree with them as I have experienced them first hand also but gambling at night for me is the biggest motivator despite the lost sessions as I said because of my max multipliers hit during that time.

Whenever I make losses, I sit at home and involve in recreational activities just to get the losses off my mind, because it's always discouraging to record losses. Gambling is risky, everyone knows what they sign up for whenever they gamble. It's definitely stage by stage, we gamble and feel the relaxation or pressure from the system, negative or positive results. Discipline follows, it prevents us from major setbacks in the system, it's really imperative and personal we takes activities that involves gambling to our plans, I wouldn't afford to make streak losses in the system.

I usually take break from playing when I have a losing streak. It is because if I do something else, i play even more and my losing streak continues… The more I think about my losses the more it makes me want to play and that’s a very dangerous loop which can ruin you financially. When you lose a big amount, you should stop playing immediately and focus on some other matter. Watch a TV show, drink a beer, talk to your wife maybe. Do whatever you want but never ever go back to the table for a week at least.

Going to gamble again after a big win is a poor way for us to gamble because it is going to make us lose money that we won because of the zeal of winning that kind of money again making us use big amount of money to cast bets. Gambling is something that we need to study ourselves enough and check what could be the reasons why we are making loses. If we want to be profitable, we need to study our weakness to know when things are going the wrong way so that we can fix it as soon as possible.

This is not something I have ever done, and I don’t think it’s something that I’ll be doing anytime in the future. Whenever I wake up there are so many things that I think of including my plans for the day, how to execute them my daily job and some other things but to just wake up in the morning and head straight to my gambling site to gamble seems like something that one without a job would do.



It’s never a good thing to chase after a lose and most times when I find myself doing it I’m always losing more instead of the wins that I’m seeking. So I guess this is the same for everyone that has chased after loses at one point in their life.


I think I’ve tried this but it was because I wanted to just empty my gambling account so that I could focus on real life things, so I just set Auto bet on mine and left it over night and went straight to bed.


This one does not happen all the time but I have experienced it. After having a major win it makes it seems as if you have lost your focus on the game and all of a sudden you’ll start experiencing some losing streaks while some other times after a major win you’ll just continue on with the wins till a certain post so the losing and winning is not constant.[/list]

I don't have a certain pattern which leads me to a lot of losing in my gambling activities. I still do what I usually do, and no matter what happens there isn't anything that changes. Perhaps, it's not the activities that are making us lose. It's our luck on that given day especially in luck-based games. If it's not luck-based games then perhaps there's a chance to break the lose streak in a more improved routine.

We know that gambling is for fun and it should really be but there are people or gamblers who are really that anticipating on the positive side of things on which on the time that they do experience those small wins then they

will really be having that kind of intent that they would really be playing even more and chasing up for more win. Same goes when you are losing on which you would really be trying out to breakeven.On the time  that you
are on the situation that you are losing then there's no fun into it and cant really be deny and wont say that gambling is for fun, it do becomes stressful i should say on which this is really a typical situation which most gamblers are really that experiencing. If you arent that been wary about those risks and scenario then you would be finding yourself to be that stressful or something that do minds about that money that had been lost.

It would really be creating that kind of emotional type of problem which isnt really good for us not only just pertaining or talking about financial aspects but also in emotions as well.
When you do gamble, then expect that losses would be there, the most important thing is that you wont really be chasing up those losses and dont spend on the amount which is really going beyond your limits.

Oh man, you've pretty much nailed every scenario, from playing after a win to chasing both big and small losses. The question is, what's left, right? Ever tried listing out the scenarios when you're actually winning? Maybe it's time to focus more on those and see if there's a pattern there too? Just a little tip!  ;)

Me? this is kinda hard to share but when I am losing in a streak this is a bad habit and behavior of me , I tend to blame others for my losing money or i get angry when I got home, so since then I need to stop that behavior of mine so I  will not harm others, also it will discipline myself and help me not to gamble too much because if I will be too much again, I will end up doing that kind of behavior.

Breakfast is a very important meal of the day; it sets the energy for the day. A good meal in the morning can affect your day positively while a poor an uninteresting meal can make your energy low for the day.

This can be put as while distracted, it is not good to gamble.

If you are sleepy, you sleep. Gambling should be for fun and if you are gambling at a time when you are sleepy, a moment when you cannot have fun obviously, you are doing the wrong thing because at that time you are mostly gambling to make money. It is not a good time to gamble when you are sleepy.

Obviously I lose money when I gamble and I am sure I am on the red when it comes to considering my long term wins and losses, but all of those scenarios are something you must avoid at all costs, gambling is a way to entertain ourselves, but at the same time you need to be concentrated on it so your losses do not surpass a certain threshold, and all of those scenarios are really terrible as your mind is not on the games and this can and it will lead you to suffer massive losses.

It's certain that when you lose in gambling imagination will be of you, sometimes it's not good to gamble with what you have not budgeted to gamble with, when you lose in gamble you will have a lot of blame to yourself due to the lose, and you will be planning or thinking on the way to strategies and gamble to win, and if you did not take your time you will fall to lose for the second time, you can only be at rest or have a Peace of mind in gambling when you win in gambling, immediately you win gambling it will lesser your thinking and you to think that you have increase your understanding in gambling and it will prompt to gamble more, but when you lose they will alot of imaginations and that is what we should try to avoid whenever we lose

;D LoL, funny enough it's seem we are actually one together because almost all the list you made  is very much accurate to some of the ways I feel or thing that occur to me when I experience a huge loss, especially the that number two on the list although I would make an exception on the number one but apart from that all other one pretty much plays inline with same scenario that always results to me losing.

basically, you tell us that you lose more when you're distracted gambling. Are you fond of playing games with strategy, or are you into games of chance? While I still think distraction plays a crucial part in affecting your decisions I don't think it would affect you that much if you're playing games like dice and roulettes, since your distraction plays little to no part in the outcome of the game anyway. As for card games like poker, I could understand it being a probable cause for you losing more money than you would've wanted, in which case I say you shouldn't gamble on the fly and only ever gamble when you're not distracted, saves you the trouble of losing games you could've won if you had a sound mind, but at the same time it drives the essence of gambling even further, which is to only be played as a sort of pastime/entertainment.

Many gamblers have gone through such losses and the the scenarios that you shared in your thread are 100% accurate for almost every other gambler. I have to say that the thing also happened to me many times when someone talked to me while I was doing gambling and due to shifting of attention I have also gone through losses. The same thing happened with me many times and that's why I have decided to do gambling only when there is no one in the room where I'm placing my bets because a minor distraction can be the cause of losses.

Most of those scenarios happened with me as well and I must say that there is a lot of emotions that could alter our luck during gambling. Any wrong emotion could lead to huge losses and that's why whenever we are under the influence of negative emotions or whenever we are out of energy then in such time we should avoid placing any bets because in those times most of our bets will be go wrong and we will have to bear huge losses.

Aside from these scenarios I have also lost a lot of money by following the Martingale strategy. That dam strategy is totally useless and whoever follows that strategy will end up emptying his/her account balance. I must say that if you are someone who plays crash game then avoid Martingale strategy at any cost because if you go with that strategy then you will surely lose everything you have.

I've been known to lose a lot of money in this situation. Most times I get this insane belief that I might just hit the jackpot if I play one more at the expense of my sleep. One time, I inputed an amount I wasn't supposed but because I was playing with already drooping eyelids, I didn't notice.
One thing I've come to understand about gambling is if you put your whole attention on winning, it might not yield positive results but once you realize that it's a game of chance and set your mind that way, you will rake in winnings.[/list]

Whenever I chase losses, I always lose more. That’s why when I am gambling and I notice it’s not my lucky day, instead of me chasing my losses, I will rather stop gambling for that day and come back another time. If I keep on chasing my losses, then I might end up losing everything in my wallet and I won’t be winning back any amount.

If I am stressed and am feeling sleepy at night, I won’t be able to concentrate on my analysis before placing my bet, my attention will be divided, which can lead to losing in gambling. I do gamble whenever I am relaxed and bored, but whenever I am sleepy, I will drop my phone and go to sleep because if I try to gamble, I am just trying to waste my money.

Losing is part in gambling but the more you put your hopes high that you’ll eventually win in the end, the more losses you’re going to incur. That is proven already because a lot of times I gamble with the start of feeling positivity and all of it and then won at first but later on, all you experience are just consistent losses until you used up all your money in gambling and realized late that you’re not really lucky that day. So you call it a day and then prepare for the next day believing that you’ll eventually recover all what you lose, and yet you end up still losing even a bigger amount at the end of the day.

It's surprising you've mentioned gambling early in the morning without eating and gambling late night while being sleepy but not gambling after drinking alcohol, because I think it's certainly one the worst condition for gambling along with taking drugs (medical or recreational). I don't know if taking much coffee is good or bad though, it would be interesting to get a poll on that.

I agree with you on this,  last week I had such an experience where I almost lost all my winning all in excitement and wanting to win more.

How it happened was,  I won about $270 in Bitcoin on stake and instead of me to take a break and make my withdrawal,  I decided to gamble more trying my luck to win more in the game,  but along the line, I lost almost everything,  this incident thought me a great lesson never to be overly confident in gambling even if we are winning.

I never experienced gambling a full night. For me, it is not the right way to gamble a full night without sleep at all. Personally, I didn't gamble to chase money, but mostly gamble for fun in my spare time. I am a full-day worker,  I can't imagine if I never sleep at night because of playing gambling.

Well, don't rule out health and social aspects. If we gamble full night, I'm sure it gradually brings negative impacts to our body and we are probably less to interact with other people around us because we spend time to sleep during the day.

Does it mean you get new fund to allocate on gambling again? Or you just stop gamble when you recovered the losses? I don't really get the point of this statement.  ???

I think your mom has done the right decision. Since you gamble excessively, she needs to monitor. Your mom shows his care to you, she doesn't want you be an addict. You shouldn't ignore it, you must thank to her that he still cares to your life.

My biggest weak spots are when I am bored and decide that for some logically lacking reason that I feel lucky and once I start losing, I double down in hopes of making my money back, until my funds are at 0, or when I feel lucky after a row of wins and basically end up going down the same road. Either way, I manipulate myself into a corner.

For me, this is always the cause

I kept hoping that my winning run would continue to reach as big an amount as I could reach and I sometimes ended up losing everything, playing late at night is also the cause I also experience this sometimes you become careless and unmindful of what's happening all you could think of is just try to win so you cashout and you can go to bed but unfortunately, the opposites are what happens, I change my playing habit after dinner and never log in one hour before I go to bed.

If it is on sports betting, I might possibly think that the list affects your judgment.  But if you are playing the chance-based game then the list has nothing to do with your losses.  Chance-based or luck-based game results is random.  It is affected by the RNG and not the external situation we are experiencing.  So I can say, since I am a chance-based game fan, I do not think that these factors can affect the result of my gameplay.  The emotion maybe, but not the gambling result.

Failing to take cash out offers have been my most weakness to winning,  because on many occasions,  I have had the chance to have walked away with a big amount of cashout but failed to take any of such games mostly embedding along to give the gamblers each tenacity to provide adequate liquidity that will sustain that game session and after that the final result of the game is either winning or losing.

I've got the same feeling of OP. This happened long back when I was much into gambling and my mind always think of recovering the losses. For this I used to wake up in between the sleep and gamble. Those aren't necessary and mostly my losing happens whenever I get tempted to gamble hiding from my wife. In such scenario I gamble fast, because I need to make something before she is next to me. Most of the time I used to loss few dollars and in the urge to recover before she comes I end up losing everything.

Waking up in the morning without having to eat is like that you're forgetting how to take care of yourself because of gambling. It shouldn't be like but look who's talking? Hehe.

When I'm in the past job that I am working with, it's always on the right time when I wake up and that's only enough to prepare but eating is out of the schedule. Although that's not from gambling, this only means that we need to take care of ourselves.

We'll never know what will be the impact of it if we're not careful enough. But the feeling of losing is really going to lose our appetite when we're in recent of it.

I've experienced some of the scenarios on your list but the one I am quoting never fails to make me start losing, It makes me uncomfortable when someone is watching behind me when I am gambling, doesn't matter if it is a family member, relative, or a stranger. I can feel that they are watching me and it is ruining my thought process for some reason.

Forcing more wins because I am near my withdrawal amount.  :D
That's when I will keep on losing. It's like the gambling site knew what I am thinking.

We cannot stop the losing streak, especially after a win but it just bothers me that we cannot win at the amount that we want. Gambling sites seem to have a limit too on how much they will give. In my experience x10 of the balance is the best I have seen but never go beyond that. After x10, a losing streak will come and it becomes a stressful playing time.

This never improved the chance to win. If you gamble without breakfast and you feel hungry, how can you focus on the game? I always do something realistically although I am experiencing something very badly, like getting a big loss. This is why a gambler needs to have a good self control. When he experiences a worse day (got many losses), he won't feel frustrated and ignore his healthy to chase winnings.

Chasing winning won't be a good idea although we are in a good mood. People probably end up with huge losses because of this way. Although we bet with bigger funds, it won't increase the chance to win. Especially when we play a luck-based games, nothing to give a very significant impact unless the luck itself.  ;D

This is somewhat relatable. Even though I'm not usually doing this, there are times wherein I try to push myself to win another few dollars in order to meet the minimum amount needed in order to withdraw. Afterwards, the game would just decide to go against you and not give you a win, forcing you to bet stupidly and rapidly resulting to a loss. It's like the whole world is just against you at that point and it's one of the worst feelings ever.

Hrm, I don't think I do, it's pretty random. I usually play in the middle of the day, alone as well, so I don't think others would have any influence on that. I also actively try to not to link everything to patterns, it's the number one gateway to thinking I have this under control when I don't. I think the most notable past I had of losing was peer pressure? I absolutely lost it when people were around me, talking about the game. This was one of my few instances when I started out, playing with others, it was devastating imo. Well it might have really just been me wanting to show I can, well, show something, and that turned out rather badly.

Yes, I will get lost after a huge win. I don't know what happen, I ever try to withdraw all my wins and deposit again a few money. But still, my luck seem gone after ai got a big winning before. Now, with that experience, I try to reduce the loss to do not playing until 2 days. Maybe, i have a greedy and can't control it after, so that situation i can't think straight and just push a button bet without calculation it again. So if I stretched until 2 or more day, i'm so fresh and ready to make the big winning again.

What I usually do after experiencing losses in gambling is I divert my attention to other activity (e.g going outside, watching movies or eating good food) so I can't think of the money that I loss in gambling. Then, i'm refraining not to gamble for days to stop myself from chasing the losses because it's not a good habit and can only result to further losses.

Even losing our money in gambling is already expected if you're not lucky, there's still times wherein it's not easy to accept it. This is for gamblers who believe gambling can somehow double their money in snap. That's why having a set budget is advisable so that you know your limit on how much money you can only use to gamble.

Yes, the incidents or conditions you have mentioned definitely plays an important role when we lose big during gambling. Basically these conditions impact our brain for which we cannot correctly take the right decision and hence make losses. But these type of scenarios can easily be avoided if we take extra precaution during each of the activities. We can control these scenarios, but who can control our greed. I feel greed is the main culprit for which we make unnecessary losses while gambling.

Yeah, definitely agree with you here, and sometimes I still continue to gamble even I'm already up and have profited already. Not sure what I'm chasing or whatnot, but when the game that I played suddenly went into maintenance and my bets didn't get it, I just realized it and then simply stop.

And there are also days that I'm going to wake up in the morning coming from a lost and say to myself that I have to go back into gambling that early and win some or at least recoup what I have lost the previous night.

Yes, I can relate to this, and now that gambling is accessible, I think we both play that evolution or Jili games, hehehe.


That's what we call "buraot"  ;D ;D


Yeah, it's because we wanted to get that loss in just short amount of time, so we beat big and hope to win and order to cover for it


This though I don't do, if I'm sleep head, then I simply go to bed.


Yes, because I think I can extend my luck.


Yes, there were times that I can't even play, I was ban for a week and accused me of cheating, hehehe. But they allow me to withdraw after a week and lift my ban from there casino. This is not crypto related casinos though.[/list]

I once was on a late night gamble when I was sleepy. Instead of being able to stay calm when playing gambling, I was even triggered to use the money in my balance at the same time to try to recover my losses. But what happened is I even lost the money at once.

I have also experienced playing gambling after winning and I think it is normal because when we win and rest for a few days, we must feel that we want to win again. That's what got me back in the game and it also happens when I'm losing.

But over time, I continued to learn not to be triggered by anything and only use gambling in my spare time. I did not want to lose too much money while gambling and tried to limit my gambling time.

Some of the points on this list are really valid like if you have a recent huge win and you continue to try your luck, you most probably will lose the next games.

However, the below mentioned points seem really strange. We all know that gambling is all about luck so you think that that we are unlucky if we gamble early morning or late night. I don't think so, you keep on playing at these times and still, you will win some and lose some games.

Anyways this can be a personal experience and if one feels, he is losing more in certain times, he can avoid gambling in those times.

No, and from the things you say I think you should be careful. If you haven't had a big problem with gambling, I think you're on your way, especially for things like this:


I am sure that if you ask any expert on the subject they will tell you that you have an addiction problem or problem gambling behaviour, and these things don't usually go away on their own.

There two scenarios that I can relate with you is the first one , gambling late in the night while feeling sleepy and the second one is chasing the loss. I guess these two are common scenario among all gamblers. I also think gambling late in the night doesn't turns well for me, not sure if others agree with me. The only problem is that late night is the time when I am free and no one is bothering me. The level of concentration at that time is poor and recently I have been trying to avoid that time. Trying to find another time throughout the day when I can sit and enjoy for an hour or so.

The other scenarios that you listed are not of a casual gambler like me. Therefore cannot relate them with me, for example skipping breakfast is something I can't do.

The last one seems more like obsessive-compulsive disorder to me(even thought it might have nothing to do with OCD). What's the point of reaching the nearest whole number in your balance? There's no rational reason for this, only two irrational reasons- superstition or OCD.
To keep gambling after a recent big win is a big no no for me, because I know that I will lose everything. I always try to force myself to stop after a big win(a relatively big win, I never won any gigantic profits out of gambling).
I don't gamble when I'm sleepy. My performance drops even further and I can't concentrate.
Getting out of tilt while gambling is the biggest obstacle for me(and for almost every gambler in the world).

What I have noticed about gambling is that if I win, I will feel like to be gambling more so that I can win more, but this do cause me to later lose at the end of the day. If I lose after playing few games, I will feel like to chase the loss and win back. If I continue to chase the lose, I continue to lose more than I win. These are emotions that gamblers neeed to deal with in gambling, because if a gambler fall for it, it will not result to anything good for the gambler.

One of the thing that the OP included is gambling when he supposed to be sleeping. That is one sign that he is getting addicted or already addicted to gambling. Another one is gambling even before eating breakfast, what he thinks is to wake up and gamble. Thayy is another sign is being addicted to gambling. He played after huge win, he is also chasing losses. Which means he gambles all the time and that is a sign of gambling addiction.

Gambling is risky, that should sound a bell to our ears, gamblers are ready to take risks inother to grab every single profits that comes across their path. We find ourselves with in crucial circumstances that will either make us comfortable or uncomfortable. Typical scenario when one is losing, ofcourse its not something to bother about if we're on the good track of the system. Gambling late at night doesn't push me, wha6 exactly will I be doing with the time during the day. Night is meant for us to rest, and not stressing. If one decides to be awaken during  night, it's personal decision of the gambler and not anyone.

I've been there before and it's unpleasant to see gambling used as one thing done before anything else. But then it hit me that I had other things to do first so I could relax and maybe gamble. And I then tried to get rid of thoughts about gambling and doing other things so that the thoughts of gambling could decrease. And indeed it takes time before I can eliminate it from my thinking so I only consider gambling an entertainment that I don't always use for fun because I have other things to have fun with. You can only keep trying to cut down on his gambling time by doing other things as a distraction from gambling and I'm sure you can do that.

First off, I've seen plenty of situations in the casino and let me tell you, the house always wins if you don't get your act together. Your little list of "scenarios" is nothing but a pile of excuses for poor discipline and lack of strategy. Waking up early and not eating? Really? You're setting yourself up for failure from the start

You talk about people distracting you? Grow a spine! The world doesn't owe you a silent gaming room. And chasing losses? That’s just weak! When I'm up by a huge margin, I don't go nitpicking on small bets; I know when to walk away. And if you can't get your money out because of some deposit nonsense, then maybe reconsider where you're placing your bets

There’s a game strategy, and then there's the human element. If you're letting emotions or poor habits dictate your decisions, you're just throwing your money away. Clean up your act, and maybe then you’ll start seeing consistent wins. And no, I don’t have "something like this", because I don’t let weak behavior guide my choices

Everyone has different abilities in controlling himself, sometimes there are those who succeed and sometimes there are those who fail too, so the most correct way is to always accept defeat when gambling so you don't have to chase defeat let alone play without control, that's also not justified, that's why I always think that gambling is actually just a place to seek pleasure, not more like you said too.

But as we can see, most of them always take gambling seriously, so that's what every gambler experiences and it's difficult for them when they're too deep in playing so they forget what to do besides gambling, even though playing gambling can be limited in time so it's easier to control it properly. not to be addicted.

Based on my experience i don't gamble when I feel not well or in the mood because this affects my decision-making to play, something I get greedy and just keep ignoring the number of money I deposit and keep playing in the casino, this kinda bit bad habit reason why I rarely now to play gambling. How much did you play for your gambling activity and are you a daily player or just casual if you have time?.

The most relatable scenario you listed is chasing small bets that I lost even when I'm already in huge profits. I made his mistakes when I started gambling newly as I didn't want to have loses in my bet history but I learnt the lesson the hard way as I almost lost everything.

Most gambler don't realize that, it isn't about how many bets you won or lost while gambling but it should be about the overall results been in profits. You can lose more bet but the bets you won are in big numbers that it won't matter if you win just few bets for the day.

I don't gambler that often late at night, during that period my brain would had been tired from the days works but the only time I might bet at night is when there are late night games that I have to watch and play live bets because that's the way I enjoy playing sport betting.

These two scenarios happens to be some of the once am rocked with a few times. In the first scenario in quote, it was back in the day that it tricked me into making bets to cover loses but in recent times, it doesn’t come like playing an entirely new or different bets but, seeking other markets in the same game in an attempt to catch up with the loses. None the less, those markets often turns out to carry just the same amount of risk and the low odds on them pushes you to increase stake which could as well pile up the loses. Well, it’s only buy once in a while but, these hardly comes by.

The second scenario happens when am having an accumulated bet and it’s usually very funny. It’s funny how these whole number thing stimulates your greed. You find yourself adding more odds by picking new games or markets you don’t consider dangerous, when the irregular amount still result, you sort out for another smaller odd that gives you the win impression, should it not whole or revolve around a whole number, you find yourself looking out for another. Eventually, you’ll end up confused and with more games than you had hoped, lol!

Everybody has their own habits and most of the listed scenarios are well known to be losing ones.The reason people keep coming back and forgetting these scenarios is that before coming back they somewhat dream or are optimistic that they will win it big in this upcoming session they are about to play.As they say hope is what keep people going and without hope our life would be extremely boring so even in gambling activities hope for a huge profit is what keeps people coming back and repeating these well known scenarios.

we have something in common here when waiting for payment to enter our account while waiting playing some game but I more often wait while playing slot mode demo and after budget comes in I immediately beat slot until sometimes I forget that my stomach has not had breakfast because its too engrossed in the game what Im playing.
and its even worse to forget to take shower and have to go work or take time off just to gamble and this is only on my own bad side because seeing defeat right then and there gets my adrenaline going a little bit but only a few times.

and to be honest, the scenario written by OP, of course, almost everyone here has experienced it, but its just that they have different patterns of activity.

If the first thing you do when you wake up, is gambling, then it's not a joke, it means you are addicted. When I wake up early and skip breakfast, I do that when I'm obsessed to do something and I'm often obsessed with work that captivates my mind. It's especially worse if you gamble late at night when you want to sleep and then wake up early in the morning to continue your gambling session as soon as possible.

I can relate to this like all on the list. I know there is no science behind it but I also observed that most of my winning days are when I am not distracted and emotionally unaffected like greed. And I always have no luck in auto betting. My intention to auto-bet is to earn and not to be entertained. But I seldom do auto-betting. The last one which is to end the balance in a whole number is very funny and I also experienced it. There were times when I also like my balance to have no decimals and ends in 5 or 0. But so far I am mostly lucky when doing it.

Playing gambling after a recent huge win is something that I don't have in me, you are right about the rest because I do something close to what you doing, I've gambled late at night when I should be sleeping, I've gambled early in the morning when I wake up on my bed, I've chased losses before but now I've become a master over the habit.

Whenever I win a good amount of money from any casino I always take my leave and close my laptop for that day, because in the past I've lost all I won at a time because I was not satisfied with the money, it's over 600$ but I wanted four figures, instead of taking my reward and leave I continued and end up losing everything.

I believe that almost everyone in this forum has done something like this when they are new to gambling, it's too easy to get addicted and feel you can keep winning.

Personally, I admit that I do experience this, but I don't always experience this scheme. More precisely depending on the mood, there are various scenarios where when I was playing gambling, I invited many friends to join me and give them tips after I won a big win. We all compete to show each other who among us is lucky and can pull out the victory. While I have the principle of playing only for fun, not betting with large capital. But at a certain point, I set the winnings, for example if I get a result above $50 there is no other option but to withdraw. Conversely, if it is not above $50 then I am more free to bet with a large bet while testing my luck.

I actually experienced most of these in my first years in gambling and I think we all run into these kinds of stuff at some point. But the one thing I will never do again is chase a big loss and then proceed to bet higher than usual which lead me to another major loss again. It was really frustrating and now I learned my lesson and will never repeat that practice again. Now, when I'm experiencing consecutive loss, I take a break without any second guessing. Which, I think, the result of my past experiences in gambling.

It is a known fact that casinos design games that are super addictive and that they designed it to gradually take back money that was won by the player. I tend to lose more money, when I am in a long losing streak and I think that I am owed a big win.... then I chase my losses and I lose even more.

The "brick n mortar" or land based casinos use cheap tactics like "free drinks" to trick people to lose more money. (sober people, make sober decisions) ..... they even remove all windows so that people forget about the time. (not seeing the day light change into night)  :P

When I lose in gambling, the general situation becomes very bad and the addiction of winning leads to more losses. That's why you have to change your thinking and if the possibility of loss is high, it's better to stop for now. Encourage them to feel free to talk about their feelings for release now, but let them do it when they're ready. Reassure them that they are not responsible. Try to keep them engaged in family activities try not to over involve them in helping to solve financial and other problems caused by gambling groups of people who are addicted to gambling or who have recovered from addiction. Where you can talk about your own problems or problems and find a way to solve them.

Something that adds up to what you'll going to regret when you suffer with a back-to-back loss with a huge amount of money, I'm sure not just you or many of us here suffer from that same kind of scenario and we wanted not to repeat that same mistake, with your understanding and your capabilities to adopt or adjust it's better to learn from what you experienced.

You can be better in terms of controlling yourself once you realize that there's more risk if you try to recover what you lose in a quick process.

Chances of yoloing will not go to help but to add frustrations and the cause is losing more from what you supposedly budget from that session.

This is similar to what I experience as well before a lose

• Terrible night rest.
• Being bored and wanting to kill time by gambling.
• Worrying about wanting to win a certain amount. Or playing with the mindset of winning a specific amount.
• Gambling at noon time when my mind is not at rest.
• For sports betting, betting under duress. Because my friends are betting on a game, I should just join them.

Since I noticed these precursors to losing in my gambling, to be honest I haven't been able to eliminate them completely but I have been able to bring them under control. Right now, I barely do group gambling. When it's not my time on the schedule to play at my online casino, I try not to.

It doesn't looks good if you need to gamble late night and then waking up early morning to gamble without taking a breakfast because you will ruin your daily activity and probably you could sick due to not enough sleep, gastric acid etc.

For me usually I will not talk too much and my face will frowning for few hours or in a day, but after that I can easily forget it and everything will back to normal.

I noticed for myself that when someone is watching me, I'll be losing mostly if I say, Watch me gamble this game, as I think you'll be my lucky charm, but it turns out I lose what I've deposited on that. Also, when I insert it in my work schedule, like if I gamble on my break time or when there are no tasks, that is the time that bad luck strikes me. Though that is really something I noticed, as I am not a heavy gambler, there are really times when I'm in a comfortable place and time but still lose.

Mine is when I feel depressed, when I feel depressed it flows to my game I am not relaxed and very tense whenever I face the dashboard feeling depressed, my depression is enhanced because of this and I just found this out lately so I make it a point to only when I feel relax or excited but never when I feel depressed.

It's important that you know yourself, what makes you lose, and how you address your losses, if gambling makes you feel depressed or angry then it's not worth playing, a gambling platform is an entertainment portal if you are not having fun then you're just wasting your money.  

As a gambler that had many losses and wins, ups and downs I can say that i also lived most of these scenarios you mentioned and most of them happens because of chasing your loses or greed to win more which leads 99% of the times to bad losses. Gambling also tired or sleepy makes you take the wrong decisions just as being on drugs or alcohol you won't feel anything until losing huge amounts of money or when you sober up.

Risk? It permeates everything and influences every choice we make, from the development of humanity to the volatile realm of cryptocurrencies. You discuss gambling as if it were a singular, abnormal behaviour. But isnt life itself ultimately the biggest gamble?

You're not feeling the late-night gambling? I dont give a damn. The greater picture is what you're missing here: day or night, every choice we make, every wager or investment, all of it is motivated by our innate urge to acquire more, advance, and rule. It is a part of our DNA.

Choosing to stay up late to gamble now? That is all up to you. But to criticise others for it is absurd. Before making such rash decisions, explore your grasp of human nature more thoroughly.

I’m not addicted at all and in my defense, I’m just continuing my gambling session that I left during the night when I become drowsy when playing. I think my feeling is more on excited rather than addicted that makes me gamble on this hour. This is a continuation of losing after winning big part.  :D

I'm not typically doing it but I just always remember all the scenarios that makes me loss repeating it twice or more before I notice the losing pattern with the given condition.

I totally agree with that. I also have a lot of ups and downs and there was even a time that I almost went to zero just a week ago but the RTP suddenly came out and I got a good winning streak in one of my favorite casino games.
Now, it had been two weeks with my balance just playing around back and forth. I think the only bonus that I am getting is the increase in wagering amount which could help me climb the VIP ranks.
But, if ever I hit my winning amount limit then I will really withdraw it all without any regrets. Up until now I am still trying to reach it although whenever I am near the number I want, it seems like the system knows I will exit so another losing streak will come.  ;D

Of course, a gambling platform is an entertainment portal. One should not seek entertainment when other things need attention.
 While gambling one should take notice of their emotional state. it is more of making good timed decision than anything else. A mind that is troubled or body that is troubled would find it hard to make a good decision or place a good bet that would be rewarding.

Am not much of a gambler, but I have my moments and I know am going to lose when I become agitated or impatient for the results. I  have  also known some pro gamblers from back in my neighborhood. If there's one thing I can say to express my observation about why they keep winning more than losing, it is, they derive joy from gambling and you can clearly see how cheerful their faces lit up when they talk about it too.

Well you said a limit - a limit that gamblers should have, they not only have to think about it but they have to have it all when they want to gamble. As we know gambling affects people mentally and psychologically, so when they gamble it is very vulnerable that they will be able to lose their minds. That's right, if we are experiencing something that is not good or our mind is chaotic due to whatever it is, we should not allow ourselves to enter gambling, because it is like you sacrifice yourself to become bait for wild animals. Which means that most cases of those who end up losing a lot of money there are because they gamble based on lust and greed, never enough with what they have earned and always want more than that.
On the other hand, to be honest, I don't really believe that there are some of them who are pros at gambling, in the sense that they always win. Let's review that in gambling none of them can increase their chances of winning by anything, when they play then everything will go back to the beginning which is the answer is if you are unlucky then you will lose, I am a gambler and as far as I know none of them have such great chances in gambling. I'm sure that your friends are getting lucky so they are very cheerful.

I actually call this the "cycle of gambling" where a gambler would have to gamble again to recover his losses, thereby losing more in the process.

This kind of cycle is somehow difficult to break. When a person loses in a gambling activity, the initial reaction is to quickly recover the losses through gambling again. Very rarely do you encounter a person who stops gambling after they incurred a loss. Majority of the people I know (including me) suffer from this kind reaction.

Personally, I mostly rely my gambling sprees in a coin flip. Before I gamble, I used to toss a coin and vote whether I should gamble or not; though regardless of the answer, I still gamble. But if it lands on tails (tails = NO) and I still continue my gambling activities, mostly I incur more losses than wins.

What I have to say is that this attitude is the one that can lead you into further failure and then get you straight into depression. I try to avoid my adrenaline to pump higher in such state of losses and what I do as a panacea is to stay away for sometime incase I want to return to it same day but the best is to cool off from it for at least 24 hours between the time and by that time I should be fine with my senses working rightly. To be in a haste chasing back losses is surely a way to lose more money from your bankroll.

There is actually one that I do in terms of placing large bets but with a different purpose. Maybe someone will place a big bet because they want to return the amount they lost, but I do it when I'm bored with the game I've been doing for hours for example, but my money has not decreased and not increased, have you ever experienced the same thing?
I usually place high bets with the intention of depleting my balance. Lol
I know it's wrong, but I do it occasionally. In fact, instead of losing my balance, I occasionally get a big win. Indeed, luck cannot be predicted when it will come.
Is there anyone who does the same thing as me when they are bored? Lol

Gambling late night possibly with alcoholic drink is definitely one of the biggest and important things that should be avoided. I can understand how regular work (dangerous problem) can be directly delayed to someday else to weekday. I think such gambling can be only be making a mess of me so. I should be able to say "no" to myself. I think gambling/life balance should always be on life part. To not experience same scenarios with other gamblers I would rather try to avoid losing. Cutting cost directly, going some other investment methods.

Taking a break from gambling is the better and most effective approach to letting go or avoidance of excessive gambling, shifting your attention to other profitable things as you said is most appropriate when trying to cut loose or reduce your gambling habit.
Many gamblers have slid into more dangerous situations such as addictions trying to cash up with losses,  even if you win you still need to fix a limit because both trends can lead to the same outcome which is possible addictions.

Unfortunately, this is not true to most regular patrons as they tend to continue to play even if they are beyond with their limits.
I believe, this depends on how determined you are in following what you swear to do when you are in front of your games.
Most gamblers won't stick to their plans especially if their games are getting exciting, they forgot what they pledged before the game.
However, on my side, I always remind myself what will be at stake if I go beyond about my allocated expenditures in gambling,
like I can't pay for this specific bill if I lose this much, so that's a motivation for me not to spend outside my boundaries.

As long as you still have the tabs of your gambling activity and be able to identify your mistakes, I think you are all good.  I believe this defense is not just denial stance :).  We have been discussing gambling and gambling addictions, I believe you have all the knowledge to resist gambling addiction.


It is a good thing to know all the reasons why a gambler lost his session.  This means the gambler is still in track of his activities and this action will greatly help a gambler to create anti-losing activities and be able to minimize both the wasted time and bankroll due to the error done by the gambler.

It really depends what sort of gambling you're doing, because if you're talking about a skilled game like poker - then yes, absolutely you need to figure out if you're in the right frame of mind to play and not "on tilt". However if you're playing an unskilled game like casino slots, then it really does not matter what state of mind you're in. Whether you're happy, sad, drunk, high or angry, the outcome is controlled by the house and not you. In that scenario, the only things you can control are the starting bank roll and how much money you spend before you end for the day. Occasionally you'll get lucky with a big win, but you'll often find they are dwarfed and even staged by the casino companies who spend a lot of money figuring out how to empty your bank account.

+1
It is easy to identify with some, at some point we went through those stages, especially chasing losses, not so much today but in the past the bad idea of thinking about increasing the size of the bet to reduce the number of bets, is a mistake that cannot be made, that is, sometimes it works, but we achieve it because of the probability that it happens, not because the fact of increasing the bet.
 
But as I always mention in other posts, they are in a certain way normal stages that we go through and through which we have to improve our game, so the main problem is not detecting them and your OP is in a certain way the best example that you have to know yourself as a player, you should not only evaluate income or losses, this type of introspective analysis defines you in the long term as a winning player.

I also have specific scenarios that happen frequently when i'm losing, and the one that annoys me the most is cashing out by trying to hit the withdrawal threshold. I still had a bunch of success reaching the minimum withdrawal before, but recently, i've been getting more losses. I don't track most of the losing scenarios that I experience, but I can easily recall them because of how often they happen in my sessions, and one of the main factors why it occurs is the greediness that I get during certain moments.

Dude, it's like you read my mind and detailed all my bad habits. :D That last part especially, it's like a sickness that cannot be cured. Chasing the small bet loss even if the profits had been in the number that any gambler would love to have.

"Playing after a huge win." I think this cannot be erased. We are born greedy. We want more. And the thought of just using a little bit of that profits just to check if our luck is still there will cause a bad domino effect. Suddenly, that little bit of profits that will be risked will be start of the chasing the losses path and it's going to be continuous.

I have never really paid any attention to what things I do before, during or after gambling that leads to loses, but i think it will be very interesting to begin to monitor such from now on, even though i still think and believe that gambling., most especially, slot and casinos games, purely is based on luck, except for some card games that require some skill, so it doesn't really matter our gambling behavior, or maybe how we behave before engaging in gambling, or what we do during the gambling session, we simply win when good luck hits us, even though its very possible that our actions and in-actions could lead to less or more losses before any form of winnings arrives .

I guess everyone here can relate on chasing our losses even if we have like a losing streak already, but we keep on depositing and thinking that we can win and at least cover that loses and suddenly it pile up already that you can't get out and trap and instead of recovering, you lose more money.

Which results in some anxiety attacks on you and in your health and question yourself whether you should have stop already and not chase that lost.

Those are typical scenarios for me and for the rest of us. But it's really hard to control that emotions though as you want to play and think that you can make a big comeback, but it was a wrong decision 99.99% of the time.

So it's normal if someone succeeds and someone fails. If we fail to control ourselves, we must continue to learn to control ourselves well and accept loss by not wanting to recover from loss. Recovering losses is not easy and will require a lot of money and we may also experience more losses than before. And it's true that it's better for us to play gambling just for fun so we won't think about recovering from losses or wanting to win because that will be difficult.

Playing gambling cannot be considered as a serious activity because some losses and wins will be the result. And we can also lose self-control while playing gambling so it's better for us to limit ourselves before we lose self-control. By doing what we can, we also prevent gambling addiction, which can come at any time without us knowing it.

It doesn't happen often but I guess I can add anything that doesn't make me feel optimal. At the top of my head are not sweating it out through a physical activity like light to medium exercises and also not taking a shower to freshen me up before opening my gambling accounts.

For me it's really hard to know beforehand if I am going to lose or not, because I already try to avoid these obvious situations as much as possible. Gambling early in the morning before breakfast or work is a big no-go, my gambling times are always in the evenings after I did all the important things for the day. Also, I try to stop gambling when I feel tired or not good anymore. Probably if I wouldn't stop then it could lead to a bigger loss down the road, but I don't want to test it. The only thing that I know for certain is that it leads to bigger losses when I chases down smaller losses. In my gambling sessions I find it regularly that there are either winning or losing streaks and it's almost impossible to revert them on the same day. Of course, this is superstitious and there is no real proof for it, but when I find myself losing the whole evening, then there is no real point in trying to bet more and more money to make back that loss. For me it's better to take a break and try the next day again. Maybe I should look more at myself to see if I can find other conditions in which I am losing money and try to avoid them in the future.

Indeed, the only way that can help us from gambling is self-control, it is true that someone who does not want to get too far involved in addiction there they must be stricter in setting limits - limits to then do. One of the dangerous diseases in gambling is not accepting the defeat they have experienced, and this is very likely to make them an addicted gambler, this is a fact that is in accordance with my experience, where those who have an easily provoked personality will certainly not accept all defeats and they will continue to return with the aim of returning the defeat in the previous time. Well it's true that we have to think to the initial thought that gambling is just for fun and to fill spare time when bored, actually what makes it difficult for us to face this problem is because we ourselves have too much ambition there, if we only consider gambling for fun activities, in my opinion, negative things might not be felt because we are just playing and not by pursuing something.


I think what we can do in this case is to add other activities, I know that self-control is the only thing that can help someone not to sink too far but on the other hand we also have to realize that every human being has lust and also high curiosity in any case, so if we only rely on self-control alone in my opinion it is not enough, while you apply some self-control such as certain limits you should also look for new activities to fill the free time. Believe me the feeling of wanting to gamble always arises when you have a lot of time, and if you have a lot of activities then your mind will be distracted from gambling and you will be busy with your new activities.

I don't actually believe in superstitions so I don't really think that there is a specific time when you either lose or win when gambling but it is all dependent on your luck, though I agree with some of the points you've mentioned that one shouldn't actually be doing to avoid excessive losses, for example chasing your losses when you've already lost most of your bankroll, or trying to win more when you have already won something significant in that session.

One should never chase their losses in gambling, whether they've won something just recently or have been losing constantly, because that will not do any good but you will lose your balance even faster than you might have been losing it earlier. It's better to just accept the losses and move on.

Most of their online gamblers carry out gambling activities at night. Apart from being able to avoid the disturbance of the people around so they can calmly carry out their gambling activities. And according to some people, the percentage of wins given by the dealer will be higher if played at night.

And I very rarely meet if there are people who do gambling activities in the morning, except for those who spend time playing gambling from midnight to early morning and miss their bedtime.

Greedy attitude in gambling is a natural thing, because they do not set deposit limits and win targets to be achieved. So that they continue to chase as much victory as possible.

Gambling should be done not for the pursuit of profit but about pleasure to fill free time and not the other way around to spend time gambling.

You are right buddy, the scenario that we often regret is when we want to reach the withdrawal target limit but instead return to being tempted in the greedy circle. The strong desire that comes from lust makes us believe that the next bet will be much bigger by placing a higher bet. But according to the other scenarios that I mentioned before, the moment when we control a winning situation and can get out of the casino is the thing that makes us the happiest. Unfortunately, every bet that is made always presents a different atmosphere. For example last night I only had $2 in capital and managed to double it to $40, then because time was too short I increased my bet until there was nothing left at all.

I'm sure everything is just a coincidence, but because you believe in it and it might happen several times so you think things like that affect your gambling.
And I'm not a person who believes in things like that or maybe because I don't pay much attention, does such a thing really exist, I believe every time I lose it's because I'm unlucky and what I believe a little is when placing bets on sports betting and doubting the choice but still choose then the result is always defeat.
I've read that there are indeed a gambler who feels that when he does something he doesn't usually do, he will experience defeat, but that will be true when it happens repeatedly, not just one or two times, because as I said before if it's only occasionally, it's just a coincidence, but certain myths or beliefs are often referenced by gamblers.

Well, maybe if you did not waste your money on gambling you wouldn’t have faced a situation like that in the first place. First of all, I do not understand why poor people gamble. I don’t see gambling as anything else than a way of entertainment.

But let’s say that rich people who have a lot of money decide to gamble. They do have money to throw around. So probably they can actually afford to give away money without having any problems. But my biggest issue is when people decide to gamble so that they can have a good living. If one does not possess opulence akin to Elon Musk or Dana White, it would be prudent to steer clear of gambling.

Look here, human patterns often revolve around seeking connections even when there arent any. So you think your losses are mere coincidences? Or some cosmic power giving you signs? Absurd! It's the human brain constantly seeking meaning, even in randomness! People tend to find patterns and connections because it makes them feel more in control, even in gambling. Your claims about gamblers linking certain behaviors to wins or losses? Purely coincidental and, frankly, a waste of cognitive processing. Lose because you're "unlucky"? Wake up! Its all in the strategy, analysis, and skill. Dont mask your lack of competence with superstitions. And those gamblers with their "beliefs"? Delusional crutches. Stop playing the victim and start thinking critically.

From all the scenario points you mentioned, it is generally one that we as gamblers are used to. I also experience similar things, but there are several points that often make me uncomfortable. somehow I don't like it, if someone sees or watches the game I play. for example, like the second point you mentioned in your scenario. if someone is distracting or watching behind me while I am playing, I often think that I will lose the gambling session that I am doing. whether it's when betting on football betting, or playing other games. maybe it could be, because I prefer to enjoy game sessions playing alone.

Well, for the third point, it seems that this case is the most common case experienced by gamblers. when we are in a session losing 50% of our initial bankroll, our emotions often get involved to raise a bigger bet. if it was on football, I would double the bet to double the win. and when playing slots, I will increase the bet per spin to chase losses. in the end, the game session ends quickly. as a result, I lost the bet. but whatever it is, whatever the defeat scenario that we think is the cause, it's actually the luck factor that plays the most role.

Poor people gamble for one reason only, wanting to get big prizes with the little money they put into gambling. Quite a lot of poor people came in and of course it became a profit field for the casino by collecting their money. When gambling is treated as a place to get more returns on money, they cover up that gambling is actually for fun, a means of entertainment. But that only applies to rich people with lots of money they can throw away without any fear. Those who get big prizes are of course only because they are lucky, if there is no good control the winnings will return to the casino.

well, in my case when i make a multibet bet and in that bet i add barcelona and manchester united, it is unbelievable that several times i have made multibet bets and i place barcelona or manchester united i lose my bet and my parlay always stagnates precisely when I place bets with very high odds, another scenario where I lose bets is when the major league games stop and I keep betting on these weak league games that I don't know anything about them, but leaving those two points aside I don't have other things that disturb me so that they make me lose, when I lose it is something normal because we are talking about predicting the result of a game

it's not something easy, on the contrary it's something very difficult and there's no one capable of making 100% accurate predictions, that's why I don't get irritated when I lose, I understand perfectly that losing is part of games of chance, that's why games of chance gambling should be seen as fun. and you see that I am talking about sports betting, because in the case of games of chance that depend on luck, things are different, for example, someone can come and annoy you a lot, but even if that person annoys you a lot, even if you receive a lot of bad news still when you go to play some game of chance that depends on luck it won't change anything, the person doesn't do any analysis on casino games

the person does not need some concentration, strategy for dice and slots games, so even if the person went days without sleep and went to play dice or slots it would not affect the result of the game at all. I think people who play dice or slots or all games of chance that depend on luck should not feel guilty if they lose and shouldn't use arguments like they lost because they didn't sleep well or because before the game someone pissed them off. forget about it. those are games that are not affected by these things, they depend on luck

Agree to that practices, not to chase your losses and also not to become greedy when some little luck is already showing, now when to quit to make sure you are still in control, like you, I also don't have that anything in mind just pure gambling to enjoy and being entertain plus some hope that luck may back me up and give me some decent amount to treat myself and add to my enjoyment.

More on how you accept and how you treat your gambling activities, luck factors and good money control.

I feel majority of the states mentioned in the bullets by the OP as scenarios where you should not be gambling.

I mean if you are gambling before having breakfast it means you are addicted and it has become a problem since you are unable to follow your daily pursuits and are obsessed with gambling. Similarly someone asking you something and that irritates you because your game for stopped, seems to fill that point where it says not being able to maintain relationships because of the addiction.

For such cases professional help in necessary and its not something to brush aside.

I'm pretty sure that the first thing professional players do when they wake up is look at sports news, which may be related to the events they follow. This is not always an addiction, in this case it is their professional activity. And if a player tries to make a bet as soon as possible in the morning, then he will not last so long, his game deposit will end very quickly and that will be the end of it.

Those boundaries must be clear to stay on the right track and not lose self-control. And even though many have lost self-control, it makes us realize that maintaining self-control is not easy and must be practiced all the time. Accepting loss is necessary for every gambler so that their losses do not easily provoke them. Instead of stopping gambling, they instead choose to continue playing gambling. And that is why we must always remember that gambling is just for fun and fun. And if we have experienced consecutive defeats, we must remember to stop immediately so that the number of our losses does not increase and we can also reduce the money lost at the gambling table. We can do it because we don't play gambling to chase victory but only to have fun so we have to know ourselves and not forget those limits.

Adding other activities can also be a good choice so that our minds can be distracted and not only think about gambling. After all, it will keep us busy doing other things or activities, and we can leave gambling for a while. And the busier we are doing other things, it can help us to control ourselves so we don't return to gambling for a while. I agree with what you said that the desire to gamble will always arise but with strong self-control, we can certainly handle it well, especially by having other activities, we will not be influenced to return to gambling in a short time. And it seems that this method can be used by any gambler who wants to reduce his gambling activities so that there will be no feeling of wanting to return to gambling while doing other activities.

When I lose in gambling, I also find some of my behavior similar to what you mentioned. I think every gambler has some of these reactions when they lose. But not all cases will be the same. Once a times in my gambling life where I bet all night to recover my losses. Sometimes I recovered that loss and most of the time I lost my bankroll. When I lose a lot of money my mind gets depressed and naturally, I feel worried. But once a day passes, I can forget about it and I can easily go back to my gambling life.

Update:
Playing different games simultaneously while you are already winning to other one.
 
-example is when I’m playing Blackjack and winning big time but I want to hit juicy multiplier on slots that makes me play both game simultaneously since slot can be played on auto spin. This scenario makes me lose because I can’t focus on any game.

Whether it's day or night, you will eventually lose your bankroll if you are chasing your losses because that isn't a recommended thing to be done by any gambler. One should gamble and then simply accept the outcome and move on. If you have won something big, that's great, and you should be happy about that, similarly, when you lose some bets, you shouldn't try and chase that but you should just feel bad which is natural and then just continue normally.

When you get emotional, and have a mixture of feelings like sadness, regret, anger, and frustration, that is when you lose focus and you might even start betting recklessly causing you to lose more money eventually. So it is better to just stay calm and collected when you are gambling and don't chase your losses.

I would recommend if anyone has to go through this many different things while gambling, then you probably shouldn't be gambling at all.  I have never had any situation where I start to lose because of outside factors.  It's always because I made the wrong bet, or my luck just didn't pan out.  Has never had anything to do with outside factors.  Hard for me to grasp really.

Yes, those items don't affect the final outcome of a placed bet. I believe what happens is that those situations OP mentioned to be inserted disturb his attention and concentration on the games, what inevitably leads to a decreasement on his management performance. He ends placing wrong bets on the wrong time with wrong settings. Then the losses are much superior than if he was playing "correctly".

However, it's important to always keep in mind that to have someone observing you playing or to play asleep don't decrease your winning chances from the odds perspective. Results are still random and you have to be lucky in order to win.

I like the fact that you've understood over time that there are no escape routes to not losing at all on gambling... Meanwhile, someone out there is tryna make the possibilities that they just keep winning without little or no losses at all ...lol
Most of those habits you've mentioned aren't supposed to showup - especially since you've had an experience on several sites, probably. I see it this way; i supposed you should be giving out informations to guide the new ones instead... This particular habit is a NO NO?!

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

Focus will allow you not to fall from those emotions, you just need to work on your self-control each time you are playing / betting the more you control the better for you not to be carried away and lose everything, it's something that you needed to make sure not to let go, you have that capability to if you are focusing with the emotion that you have.

Losing is unpredictable. It's more on how you deeply do your research and some luck that will avoid you to
lose your money from your gambling activities.

In every aspect of life, you really lose, but how much more on gambling does the house mostly win? Though I know there are games that are skill-based and luck-based, most of them are about how lucky you are. The skill-based games will increase your winning percentage if you know how to play them, but again, the big factor is luck.

Self-control and discipline are really the keys to not losing more because you can end the game and walk away if you are losing rather than chasing it up out of greed to get back your losses.

I think the main reason is because most of us has a day to night jobs. We can't play gambling inside of our company and we can also get distracted if we do so, so it's better if we just play when we time out. I don't believe that we have more chances of winning in night time. I actually tested all the time (i.e early morning, morning, mid-morning, etc..) and the results are always random.

I don't think those who play for profit, don't have a target win. They have it but like anyone else, they will only continue and see if they can win again. It's hard to make a profit out of gambling so that's right that we should only play for fun using small amounts.

Yes, even on simple decisions in life could really be still a gamble on which means that it wont really be necessarily means about gambling game literally but since we are talking about gambling games then it would really be basically pertaining about on how being lucky or simply that luck factor would really be always the main spotlight because neither you are involving yourself on sports betting or casino based games then  in the end of the day it would really be that depending on how lucky you are.Although there are really games which you would really be able to take advantage if you are really that knowledgeable about it and this would really differ on each person because each one of us does have that different level of knoweldge and skills on particular sports or knowing something into those field. Scenario when you are losing? Then it would really be just talking on making yourself on that disappointed state on which it could lead into more dealings or impulsive spending or simply you would be sitting down and thinking on the things that happened that you shouldnt have done
based up on your mind but well its already too late since the damage had already been done. If you are really just that sensible towards your actions then you would really be finding yourself just on a fine situation
despite of those losses.

Losing in the game will be the fifty percentage of chance.No one know the escape route for the losing in the gambling.Because it was common,after losing think about the next win and start the next game.Worrying will not be the solution for loss in gambling and in the business loss.Many people fail to understand the gambling will give the experience and the winning give us the enjoyment for the shorter period of time.Winning without the loss is not an possible one to any gamblers,even if they are experienced gamblers or fresher.

The way out of losing may be to pause to contemplate how much you lost and decide to reduce the amount you lose the next time. Lose is something that gamblers will get, whether they play for too long or for a while, because it's like a certainty that they will receive at the end of the game. But even so, some people can end their gambling game by winning, even if it's not much. But it was a win for them even though if they counted the amount of money they used to gamble, the number of wins would be smaller than the amount they had lost. And we must learn to accept that loss because if we don't, we will only try to recover from the loss.

Actually gambling losses are much harder to recover. It is better to rest for a while after losing because there is less risk here the addiction of winning makes you lose more gambling mostly depends on luck. Steps can be taken to break the gambling pattern you gamble all the time and can't stop or spiral out of control. This is why they are more likely to consider taking their own lives than people unaffected by gambling.

We should gamble using money that is not used and adjust the limited budget according to the amount that can be prepared to lose it, gambling does not only talk about winning, because behind that there is a risk of loss that we must understand, so if you lose you must understand that it is part the risk of gambling that we play and this must be emphasized consciously so as not to chase that loss.

What you said is true, that we can take a short break when we really experience defeat in gambling, we don't have to take money and continue to deposit it again to catch up with defeat, let alone get into debt, that is the wrong way in which most people do not understand how to play wise and responsible gambling. , even though everyone must feel the same way when they lose, depending on how we control it, it's best to rest and plan for the next game. never think and try to recover losses.  ;)

Instead of waiting to lose in gambling to see how much you lose money, it's complicated I think it's better to set in advance how much money you are ready to lose in gambling for fun, it's much better than just waiting to lose first to stop for a moment.

So when you prepare from the start how much money you are prepared to gamble, even when you lose you will not experience depression as a result of the losses you did, and yes, you should stop gambling when the funds you have prepared to gamble are used up because of losing.

If we are gambling and get distracted by anyone from anyone, we are likely to loose concentration and this may lead to making a serious mistake if we are not careful, we need to give it a careful attention in consideration while gambling not to rush into anything, neither got any external constraints affect our thinking and performance while gambling, we need to let our mind be in one place, we have to be well concentrated when gambling, it requires being focused.

You are very correct , even gambling casinos will tell the gamblers to only gamble with money they are prepared to lose , I have always said this here that gambling is not all about making money, sometimes , gamble and be prepared not to win a dime , just see they fun you had while gambling as the objective of the money you spent , gambling , whether it be sports betting, or casino games , or slot games , what ever kind of game it be ,is fun to play for someone or somebody , always play what makes you happy, and always be conscious of the reality of loss, that is , the chance of not winning anything , when we consider this even before engaging ourselves in gambling , it helps us prepare, and like you have mentioned , it's always important to set aside money we are prepared to lose in every gambling session ,never go into gambling with all your money , the chance you might lose everything is high , higher than the chance of you leaving the casino in profit .

I agree with pretty much every point on the list, but this needs to be clarified:

Because there may be cases in which you bet because you meet particular matches (for example, a tournament in another continent...)

Add to the list of scenario:
- play bets only by looking at the odds and without knowing any information about the event
- going all in

However, it seems that some people are still confused about what they want from gambling, such as big profits or being made a place to multiply money. Of course, this is the wrong thinking in assessing this. what happens when they lose they feel sad depression and lots of drama that occurs because of the hope of winning at gambling.
It seems that it has become a habit for people who really hope for more from gambling, which results in their defeat being a disaster for their life.lol

Today when I understand the key to gambling is just for fun, by preparing money that I can lose in gambling it doesn't have a bad impact on me, it's just annoyance that's nothing more, and in my opinion it's a natural thing because it's an effect the thrill of gambling itself.

You understand, not everyone is as intelligent as we are. Amazingly, a lot of people become caught up in the web of gambling without realizing what it is all about

People fantasize of winning those enormous jackpots and want to become wealthy, but they are missing the purpose. I view gambling the same way as you do - as pure entertainment. Do you attend movies with the expectation of leaving richer? So why would you expect that from a betting booth or casino?

Think of your prepared funds as a show ticket and set aside money you can afford to lose. Wins are merely a bonus, though. We intelligent people understand that. other people? Quite simply, they aren't playing the game properly

This rarely happens to me but sometimes I do take it by fate. I can see a slip with different match, I could just choose the first few matches and play leaving the rest for the owner which is a way of trying my luck. Must time the first two games might be the ones that will cut while the others will be on a winning leg. We just need to take some risks as a gambler and try it if it will work for us. I think there is nothing bad in trying and sometimes I do win but it's not always frequent.

Well, in this case, things can change from one moment to another, but also knowing what type of person is playing, the person's personality influences a lot, at a time when they are having a good streak, the rattles can be beneficial for us as people, we know that we are earning money, money that we count on but that we obviously have a lot to do, and when the losing streak comes, there are only two possible scenarios:

1.- When you start to lose a lot, the person begins to play more and then, almost without controlling the amount of money you have bet, or even worse, look for a way to get back the money you have lost, because it has been a lot the player in the wrong way because he will continue to pursue losses and will seek to have many profits and when he is in despair, stress is very difficult for him to achieve the objective, because obviously the person's capital and balance will go down, so that can become a double-edged weapon Because the player sees what he has lost and will say that he has to get it back and he keeps insisting, and that's when he loses the most, usually that always happens.

2.-The other way is that the gambler who has been playing and has not been gaining, sees that he will lose and each bet will lose, because the best thing he can do is withdraw, not play anymore and leave with gains, it is better to leave with some money and not with any money, leaving with zero balance is very tiring even more after all the previous effort that was made when playing, of course these things may seem good to some people, because they invested time, adrenaline and took something away, but if not then what will you achieve? So sometimes leaving with profits I can enjoy, share, buy, that's the right thing to do, take the money and enjoy it, to see that what you did was good, if you didn't withdraw it and you lost everything, you can't buy it absolutely nothing..

There are really times that we need concentration, like when we need to focus on the game, but we are kind of the opposite. I mean, I do gamble for fun, which is why I really don't require full concentration because I want to have fun, like when someone is talking to me or supporting me like a fan. Though mostly those card games require full attention, this will probably be needed to be in a comfortable place and somewhat quiet.

Yes, it is indeed better to determine how much money you want to use for gambling. But sadly, many people don't and they gamble with all the money they deposit. They do not use gambling for fun but to make money. If so, they can experience a loss and when the defeat comes, it can make their emotions rise and they will end up using all their money to gamble.

If they can realize it, they will start like what you say. But if they don't, they'll stay that way and even when they lose, they'll deposit more money. They think they can still recover their lost money but it is hard to get because gambling is not a place to make money. So we must be prepared for the defeats we will accept and stop if you feel this is not good for you because preventing more losses is worth it.

To be honest, I think if using all the money they deposited it wouldn't be a problem if he really had limited the amount to play gambling, and of course was ready to lose the money they deposited.
Either at the end of the victory or spent even though he has won, because basically he plays to entertain himself, the most important thing is to use the funds that have been prepared to lose it.
But if they continue to make deposits by planning to catch up with previous losses and chase wins, that mindset is wrong for them which will make them sink and it ends in regret.

I am annoyed when I see my friends who behave like this, and those who have this mindset are very difficult to remind, even though I am frothy to say it. And what I noticed from them afterwards was apologizing and feeling regret, but kept repeating it.

You believe that wagering is a sound financial strategy? You might as well wait for universal healthcare to appear out of thin air. It does not function that way.

If you expect lady luck to pay your expenses, you're in for a world of trouble. Its like waiting for Congress to pass legislation; its possible, but you shouldnt hold your breath. We must be more discerning than that.

And what about those who squander good money after bad? Stop. Just cease. It is not a wise investment strategy; rather, it is a one-way ticket to bankruptcy. So, cast the dice if you must, but keep in mind that sometimes the best strategy is to walk away.

Don’t be involved or interfere with them because you will just be blamed both ways. They might blame you when they experience bad luck since loser players tends to blame someone for their losses or if they got addicted then blame you why you didn’t stop them even if they are resisting.

I friends like this when online sabong becomes popular in mu country. They lose a lot of money and they are blaming me for that since they taught that I jinx them for stopping them to play. I just ignore them now and focus on my life. It’s not worthy being nosy on someone addiction problem

I'm quite disappointed but what you said is true, that there are some of them who get lost blaming other people, I found that too in my environment, sir, even though I meant to remind them not to be too impulsive in gambling, but they blamed instead me, because it's as if I've brought bad luck in gambling, if only they knew that I get more wins than loses in gambling. ;D

I think blaming other people is a scenario that often arises when you lose at gambling, including me in the past, blaming the signal, blaming the internet network provider and others including friends around me who only watch me play, but fortunately I get enlightened on how to treat gamble well.

Maybe it won't be a problem for those who are prepared to risk losing all the money they have deposited. But some people are unable to see what they have done so they can only regret it without being able to try to recover their losses. Those who have already lost then try to deposit another amount of money but again, they use all their money in the hope that they can recover their losses and get a win. But when they actually manage to recover their losses and get a win, they don't stop immediately but instead continue to the next round because they still hope to get another big win. And that's where they get another loss which will even eliminate all the money they have won until there is no money left in the gambling account.

Many people regret it and promise not to repeat it but the next day, when they gamble again, they keep repeating the same mistake as if they had never experienced or made that mistake. And we can only see loss after loss happens to them without them being able to recover all their losses because that will be even more burdensome for them. From there, many gave up on gambling and lost their valuables because they were too excessive in gambling.

I'm not saying wagering is a good financial strategy. It depends on how someone can arrange how much he can wager when he is playing gambling to prevent a big loss. At the same time, if someone gambles, he can lose his money. If he can't manage his finances, he can lose all his money or even have nothing left. You have to understand this and don't bet beyond what you can afford so you can prevent losing or losing a lot of money in gambling.

I never expect luck to pay my expenses because I know that by gambling, I will not be able to win easily. And even if I win at gambling, the amount won't be as big as what other people get. From there, I always realized that I could only gamble enough and not too much so I wouldn't lose a lot of money. I will be in big trouble if I lose a lot of money in gambling, which I have always avoided until now.

Yes, stopping is a wise decision only for those who are aware of the dangers of gambling if they don't have good self-control. By stopping gambling, they will not waste much of their money and can also divert their money to invest in other things, such as bitcoin. It will provide multiple benefits, especially if they can invest a lot of money into investing in bitcoin.

Common reaction when you are losing as you are trying to throw your disappointment and trying to find someone to blame, I think after to overcome that attitude you will be able to re-assess your gambling habit and start to play calmly, though not all can adjust that and not all has that capabilities.

More on trying to make a god excuses and try to push yourself into this activity and suddenly continue losing your money.

This is why I'm careful about my actions. When there are people gambling nearby, I try to avoid them as much as possible. If not and I'm watching them, I will only try to keep quiet. In your case mate, why not tell those people about your gambling experiences? You can also gave them some tips (money).

And maybe that can make you more closer together. So next time, you won't be afraid to them or they will now treat you well. I don't blame people around me unless I'm sure that their actions are the ones that causes me to lose like they turned off the router while I'm running a martingale strategy because that can surely ruin my game.

I always share tip with them, but most of them don't gamble on gambling platforms that use crypto like me, so I only give tip to a few friends, you have good steps to avoid them, unfortunately I can't avoid this. because they always invite me to watch them play, sometimes they ask for my opinion on how to win at gambling, but that is not useful, especially in slot games, lottery and soccer betting that cannot be controlled with any formula, because pure luck, there are just a few stupid tricks to decorate games and bets, but unfortunately when they use them they experience defeat, while I generally get profits from tricks that I believe carry a probability of winning.

It is clear from your case where the mistake lies, because indeed they made a mistake, it is natural for you to be angry and annoyed.
But it's better to just shut up and pay attention, because people who are swept up in gambling too deeply are always stupid in acting and spilling out their frustrations on their surroundings.

The gamblers usually give tips to the new gamblers friends,because the new gambling friend may ask the old person to give some more tips after the play.This was the prime cause for the gamblers to share tips.but we can't assure that tips shout you.In case if the tips was useful, you must thanks the person who gave you free tips.The gamblers get the loss, that game knowledge will be get from the loss.The gambler should take a complete note for that game,this will help you to get away from the future loss on that game.Even the loss game doesn't give you any money,it will give you some knowledge.The experienced gamblers use that tactics to get away from future loss.

For me seeking for help is good. Actually this is happen in real life when I am new in gambling I hunt for the tips by the older one and then when I am in game I will apply their tips and yes sometimes it will worked and sometimes are not. So we can not say that we are too good enough in that specific game once an old gambler or player give a tips to us. But there's a time that there tips won't work which means we will learn on that mistake and discovered a good strat.

When it comes to tips and tricks then im not really that into that or something that i would really be applying for myself specially if i do hear out on other people or so called experts or to those who do have experienced but we cant really deny that there are indeed times on which you would really be that tempting on doing so or would be testing out and finding if it would really be that working or effective.
I have test out those times too on which its true that it would really be that totally random when it comes to outcome which its already expected and prove out to yourself that in gambling then results or outcomes could really be totally different and totally unpredictable no matter how well you do make out such analysis.

Losing is inevitable and if you are that someone who do really love on chasing up your losses, then you are really that putting yourself on such great trouble because it would be mainly be affecting
your finances and other things which would really be devastated to it. If you do play just for fun then dont go into a certain extent on which you would really be spending tons.
Always be on that moderation which its always been that best on having  that kind of behavior.

No one is guaranteed to win in gambling so usually gamblers are interested in taking tips from others. But some experienced gamblers implement those tips and some analyze them. When I lose a lot of money in gambling, I think that there is something wrong with me. Then I try to get tips from others so that I can win again at my gambling. It's nothing to blame. But the main point is that one should never manage bets solely by depending on others.

I'm sure it's because you're too hasty. Try to really set a strategy before gambling and when you are in a good state of mind to do it. like the first point it looks like you are too hasty in gambling. try to rest a few days first, after that maybe it will be much more stable. and remember not to gamble too much it won't make you rich quickly.

What a strategy do you mean? If it is a luck-based game, a strategy won't bring a significant impact. The result mostly relies on the luck, whatever the strategy to use, won't increase much the chance to win it. However, I agree that we are better to rest or take a break for few days if we constantly get losses and feel bored. We may gamble with emotional mind, so we don't enjoy it anymore and can't control our funds. Or we may be too obsessed to chase the wins, so we gamble excessively. It is no longer a proper situation to gamble. We probably need to calm our mind first!

Experience is the most valuable and best teacher in gaining knowledge. whatever that is, if you know something from experience, then that knowledge will continue to stick in your head. I have a friend who is quite adept at gambling, he knows it all autodidactically, he didn't have a teacher who indirectly explained what he needed to know, but he knows the gambling trick by self-experience. He tried gambling with little money first to just know how that worked, After knowing and understanding it all, he begin toning step with huge money and success.

Indeed. If you had a bad experience, try not to gamble for days to refrain yourself from recovering your losses. Moreover don't play if your desire is to win and not to have fun. Because if you're playing to win, chances are, you'll spend more than your set budget since you have this goal of gaining from your gambling activity.

In addition, no strategy can actually work in gambling that can give consistent profit. You might become lucky if you use a certain strategy but it doesn't mean it is effective. Therefore don't rely in such since gambling is usually depending on luck.

Well, I don't think it's about being too hasty or not, I think it's more of having the wrong mindset or something of that sort, it's like someone hallucinating, seeing things in their mind, things that do not exist and are not real..

I've personally have been playing slot games for some few years now, though I am not that very active, but I do play like once or twice in every two weeks, winning In slot games, or casino games is completely random, whether you eating while playing, or even sleeping while playing, it does make or change anything, your winning or losing entirely depends on how lucky or unlucky that you are...

I can only agree to this on sports betting, since it's very possible that when you are trying to place a bet, and someone is disturbing you, you might end up placing the wrong bet .

I think gambling is totally based on luck. No matter how much we invest in gambling with advice from experienced gamblers, if we don't have good luck, we won't win. The more you understand gambling, the more you win. Gambling  If you have some idea in the game and have the power of patience then the chances of winning in gambling will be very high. I have seen many people who have left their luck and won many games.

Actually you're correct in the first line, but the second and third line are bullshit.

There's no such understanding the game will make you able to win in gambling, slot is using provably fair system and there's no pattern or way to win. You can only wish you're hit huge multipliers, that's all. If you find a way to win in gambling and leaving their luck will you able to earn, you will not joining a bounty.

Yes, gambling is based on luck. But in sports betting, you also have to be able to analyze each team because that can help you win apart from hoping for luck too. But a common scenario that often occurs with most gamblers is that they need to be more careful in placing their bets and not double-check the value of the bet so that when they place a bet, they realize that it is the wrong amount. Besides that, we also often make mistakes such as being too eager to chase winning even though we have already won, and we feel we are not enough for that amount of winning. That is the most common scenario that occurs in almost all gamblers.

No patterns that can give you accurate win, most of the time it's based from luck and the wise decision making that you will going to take, if you can quit before you run out of luck and be satisfied with small winning then you will get some slice of the house bankroll, but if you fail to control yourself and instead of taking some winning you push for more, the chance is losing everything and regret after.

Which is mostly the problem with gamblers who have problems with their patience, or again, greed will play a part in it because only a few gamblers will settle for small wins because they want huge wins and then have a hard time quitting after that because they want to win more. This is really an endless cycle, but it will only break if we have self-control and able to control our emotions.

        -     When you wake up in the morning, even if you don't eat your breakfast meal, you first open your account at the online casino. Is that a habit of yours? Can't gambling be considered an addiction or vice? It's not like that's a normal person's work when you do it like that. No offense, mate, but it's true that when a person's mind is empty when they wake up in the morning, gambling is immediately on their mind.

Then, even though you're sleepy, you still insist on gambling. For me, that's not normal anymore, and it doesn't seem right anymore. It also appears that in that case, the gambler is well controlled in such a scenario.

I agree with the line "The more you understand gambling, the more you win" based on my point of view. It is common knowledge that the gambling machines are set to favor the house, either in the short or long term. If gamblers understand this especially if they are losing, they can actually win against their desire to pursue nothing but fun.

unfortunately, most of us fail to understand how gambling works and we always mislead ourselves when we lose control when defeat comes, it triggers our adrenaline and we always keep betting with the hope of a return. TBH, I fully support the word but only a small percentage of gamblers today can really understand how gambling works and on the one hand if they can understand how gambling works I think they really will win over themselves not to make large amounts of bets only for uncertain wins and in this scenario it would not hurt to stop for a while not betting take the time to think about the truth about gambling and how to quit gambling activity in large numbers.

yes, but do you agree with "gambling is all about luck"? you say the more hours someone has in gambling the more they win, that means it's like any other kind of business that if one is willing to go through the process then they can succeed. Honestly, I can't understand what you're saying, I think everyone agrees that gambling is all about luck, because if it was a matter of time or the longer they've been there the better their chances of winning then there would be a lot of people doing it, and I don't think there would be any painful news from the majority of addicted gamblers.

Well that's right, as you said above, gambling machines are designed to benefit the casino itself, that's clear and not to dominate the winnings of the gamblers, I think from this alone it's clear whoever they are, no matter how long they are there until maybe they understand everything in my opinion it doesn't affect at all to create a lot of winnings. I believe in saying it all comes back to their own luck. I agree with that statement, and yes basically casino machines are made to benefit the casino itself, but that's not entirely because they have to spend a small amount of money to give gamblers there.
I agree to say that winning is the thing that will keep them coming back to do it, so I don't think it's possible for them to lose a lot, even they (gamblers) are willing to sell their houses to gamble, if they understand it can make them win a lot, but yes okay I understand, everyone has their own perception.

Gambling does not cause harm to those who understand gambling. They know their chances of defeat are high. They are not even optimistic to get from gambling. But like you, I would say that those who try to understand gambling as deeply as possible will succeed in gambling even if they don't win. When they lose money in gambling they consider it as a part of their gambling activities. But if one gambles only to win without understanding gambling then at some point they will lose their wealth they just consider it as a source of income that should avoid. Everyone needs to have a good idea of how gambling should be perceived and not just about money should know how it works.

There is no one anyone can feel entertained without anything in their stomach, that is something else, if you found yourself with such a habit, you are no more enjoying your gambling, it's turning into something else, and you need to stop.

I derive pleasure from playing games online, either free to play, gambling or play to earn type of games, but when I feel sleepy that's the end, no matter what I have in mind my sleep is very important for me, if you are losing sleep for gambling purposes, fam you are on your road to addiction.

No matter how much we love gambling, we need to take the proper approach and have live a good way while we do it, if gambling is taking most of your thinking that is something else, since it's luck-based, I expect gamblers to handle this as high risk way to make money.

We usually fail to understand because of desperation and chasing losses. Most of us become too emotional and have been controlled by it which causes us to commit more mistakes and losses. I can admit that I was in that situation before and I thought that gambling more and spending more would help to recover losses but in the end, I'm the one suffering the most while the house takes all my money. The more we become disappointed, the more the house loves us.

Every game has a house edge that is built into it and is intended to guarantee the casino' long-term profit. Heres the twist: time. I didnt mean to imply a causal link between time and winning when I said that the number of hours spent gambling correlated to wins. Instead, comprehension of game dynamics, strategies, and risk control can assist minimize losses and, occasionally, boost gains.

Like looking at a map, there's always a danger you'll get lost even though the more you explore it, the better you become at recognizing its patterns. Therefore, even while gambling increases casino revenues, it is not unstoppable. A skilled gambler understands when to play, when to leave, and most crucially, when to ask for assistance if they are straying from acceptable behavior.

Gambling ist a gold mine or a business model. Its a leisure activity where the element of surprise adds to the enjoyment. But keep in mind that casinos profit from the desperate measures you suggested, such as home sales. Always play responsibly and keep in mind that the odds are typically against you.

When I read the gambling scenario you mentioned in the thread, why do you always fail at gambling, but that is the fact that most gamblers often do, this also includes me doing the exact thing.

For example: the first point, I did it when I won and was lucky that day, I wanted to try again early in the morning, but the results were even worse.

Likewise with several other points, I also do this often, this is ridiculous, without realizing you have said the scenario that I often do when gambling, no wonder I keep losing at gambling lately, This sucks, I'm really not aware of all that scenario, it seems I have to change it from now on, to become better at gambling, @Coin_trader thanks for remembering all of that, even though the Scenario looks trivial but many of us ignore it.

Yes, it is strange to continue gambling when you feel hungry. So, it is something impossible to do in my life that OP stated to gamble without breakfast in the morning. Only probably addicts do that, they may never feel any thing else because they too focus on chasing the wins. But if we are normal gamblers, we must stop gamble first when it seems uncomfortable for us.

Of course, there should time to stop temporarily if we still think about the entertainment, pleasure, or fun. Feeling hungry, feeling sleepy, or when we already spend too much time, that should be the indicator to stop it immediately. We mustn't continue it when it is no longer in a comfortable condition. It won't be fun anymore when we get something trouble with our health someday. Always think realistically, don't be too obsessed or excessively in gambling.

Sure. We must gamble with a proper way if we don't want to have a problem someday. Moreover, we understand that gambling is about the luck. So, why we must force ourselves to gamble excessively? The luck won't rise even if we gamble the whole day.

We are just humans and it would really be just that normal that you would really be that having that kind of reaction on which it would really be leading into those impulsive actions.If you are a type of person on whose really that good when it comes to emotion handling then you could really be able to assess on what are the things that you must do in order to prevent more damage on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be  able to assess and thats an advantage for you compared on other people who do fail on doing so. This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be that knowing on how to control your temper and would really that crucial on these kind of times. Impulsive emotions would really be leading to impulsive actions which would be leading into more severe condition which you might be having a hard
time to recover specially if the damage is severe specially on financial state.

This is where emotional control is needed by every gambler so that they can prevent even more losses if they decide to continue their gambling game. Prolonged emotions will only harm you because you lose self-control, causing you to be unable to see the reality that has happened to you. You just want to continue gambling without wanting to stop. And if this continues, you will likely experience a gambling addiction because you just want to satisfy your desire to gamble without stopping. Perhaps many of us have experienced it, but some of us decided to learn from experience so it doesn't happen again. It is a good decision if we want to learn from experience because it can increase our wisdom in gambling in the future.

Breaking routine describes all those possible mistakes.  Not that it has to be unlucky just seems to go that way when you dont play the way you feel most comfortable doing so.  I would add small advice if you are out of your comfort zone, reduce size never be against in effect taking some profits by reducing the capital amount risked trying to win more.    I tend to stop after a while so I can return later otherwise getting too tired is a big one to induce unnecessary mistakes.

The word comfortable is very hard to attached on gambling since you are risking money at all times even with small amount. Small bets means small wins which either makes you uncomfortable too if you are just playing for a long time while your balance is varying from plus minus a penny amount.

For me, The only time I can be comfortable playing regardless of the bet size is when my bankroll is already green with a great percentage profit. This way, I can assure that all the bets I made is not a total loss because my bankroll is in profit.

There's no harm in gambling and that's true, but we appear to be the ones that makes it appears more of having difficulty in it because of the way we do it, there are so may things that have been the cause from us for having losses when we gamble and these are mere mistakes we could always try to avoid if we had been mindful of them right from time, gambling is meant to serve as a means of creating fun in what we do and not to get us frustrated because we are not being served well as expected due to our own mistakes.

Some of the things you mentioned like waking up very early without food in your stomach or gambling late at night, I didn't go as far as that. But there was a time I used to gamble a lot on sport betting, I would spend hours picking and analysing my games only for it to be ruined by one game just few hours after kickoff. This kept on and on and my losses were piling up, it got to a point that I decided to take a break to clear my head and it worked. Whenever I'm doing something and I realize that it's taking much of my time and not giving me the right results, I would just abandon it and maybe come back some other time.

I can't stand skipping breakfast and depriving myself from going to sleep when my body is already looking for the bed. I feel like there's some sort of addiction in this kind of situation, as he is trying to harm himself, disregarding what's essential to feed ones desire. Well, I hope it does not get worse.
I know losing is very frustrating, but there's only one thing I know that's been very effective for many people, just like you I tend to take a break and have a breather, eat delicious food and drink a little, sleep early and bounce back in the morning. Chasing losses no matter how huge or how big it is, doesn't end up well.

Getting annoyed or having that great disappointment would really be leading to this but it is really that actually on a type of person because there are ones who could really be able to do such thing about skipping food and

sleep but not for all because even myself considered out on having those kind of moments where you do really have that huge disappointment on your gambling activity or even on those simple trading with markets but never ever that goes into my mind on skipping out my meal or having no sleep because i do have in mind that health is wealth and if you do lose up money and do such foolish things like putting up your health on danger then it wont really be that worth on doing so. You are really just making things even more worst aside on losing money.,We do know that being healthy should really be your main priority and never ever make yourself
that goes into that certain extent or simply stop it out.

Losing is inevitable on gambling and this is why its always been important on making use of the funds on which you can really afford to lose because on the time that you've come up with this
management then you wont really be finding yourself to be that impulsive.

By comfortable I mean like a sniper lying prone taking his shot, they'll be a point they are in the zone and able to hit their designated target as per their job for their best aim with all factors in that moment vs wind random factor pushing their shot off; if they are distracted by rubbish beneath making them uncomfortable there's no way they are going to be as able to gain that focus.    Any distraction basically, any negative thought or if you lost prior and this upset your feel on this day this alone can throw all your bets off afterwards.
  Sometimes it is better to stand up, go for a walk maybe a long walk maybe come back the next day but dont ignore that your best aim is not there always sometimes you will be tired and any number of reasons.  I expect to lose if the feel isnt right there for me hence also true that small bets small losses also right ?  :)

In my opinion all these distractions are excuses that are usually used by people who are weak in spirit. If a person has a goal, he will pursue it to the end and neither wind nor inconvenient position will prevent him from doing so. This is also the case in gambling. One gambler recognizes the mistakes made during the gambling session, and the other is constantly looking for someone to blame, because he does not want to appear weak in the eyes of others. In my opinion, this is just a defense mechanism that does not work very well.

yep, I admit that its not just you, as I said before, almost the majority of gamblers will experience this problem and up to now, even if they have good control, in the end they will do this scenario again, especially if when the win comes, it makes us feel confident. yourself and think that today is a lucky day without realizing it, it is a very bad start because after that you will lose all your winnings when you lose control and I recently experienced this in the slot and roulette games that I played.
we cannot avoid losing scenarios like this unless we can win ourselves over to quit gambling forever.

There are lot of such gamblers who are not willing to see their own defeat and even if they lose in gambling, they try to blame it on others and want to prove themselves that they didn't lose by his own thought. Even if the gambler does not understand his own intelligence, it does not take time for others to understand. By making excuses and blaming others only strengthen conflict but for gambling which is never good. A gambler should accept defeat and should figure out what was the correct decision considering his mistakes. A gambler must take these steps carefully.

It's not easy to accept loss for a gambler because he has to be able to lower his ego simultaneously, especially since his emotions are running high and he can't think rationally. He may have lost a lot of money but he doesn't realize it because he still wants to win so he keeps trying even though he has lost before. I don't know what was on his mind but he just wanted to gamble even though he realized it could make him lose more. And when he tried all the ways but nothing worked, he ended up with deep despair and frustration because he couldn't win the game he liked. By then, he may have become so badly addicted to gambling that it's hard to help unless he notices it himself.

It is important to take notice of our emotions and how they affect the decisions that we take, when people are emotional they take all kind of decisions which deep down they know are a mistake, but at the time they do not think about it as they are fixated on getting their way no matter what, however once they calm down they realize their mistakes and now instead of just moving on and accept them they want to correct them, which leads them through another round of losses.

Yeah, and it's a first sign that the gambler might be addicted as well if he can't take it on himself and blame others for what he has done and lose his money. And I can't really understand their logic though, I mean they are the one who plays for it, regardless if it is slot games or some sports beating.

This is just an excuse obviously, and then they will continue to gamble. And the funny thing is that if they won, they won't blame anyone and then really tap themselves in the back and tell that they did a good job  ;D. On the contrary, if they lose again, they will have to find something to accused of like bring some bad luck to them.

It is very difficult to control emotions when we lose at gambling because if you have money in your wallet, of course you will continue to make deposits until you realize that it happened so fast. Don't occasionally chase your luck just to reverse your initial capital, of course that's the worst thing gamblers do because they can't accept defeat from the first deposit they make. It is at this stage that a big problem will come to them if they continue to make deposits to be able to reverse the situation they are experiencing. I also often feel like this, but at this stage I only made two deposits to try to win, but if the win is not achieved, I will choose to stop playing that day.

The addicted gamblers will start to say reason on others as compared to himself or on gambling.So the addicted person ultimate target will be the other person,for this reason the gamblers get their blame on friends and family members.Even for the loss of the game,they will say the event of gamble with their friend in the same Casio not worked good.Like this the addicted person will reduce their blame on others as soon as they started to get away from the addiction.The most of the addict will play the same game for the n number of times,even they loss all the money in the same game.They start to think in the way of winning in the same game by practice the same game n number of time to get victory.This also cause addiction to the gamblers.

If they can realize their mistakes, it is time to stop gambling without thinking about previous losses. If we want to recover from losses, it will definitely be difficult because we will face more losses. And it's really good if they can calm down, especially after experiencing many losses, to reduce their emotions due to their loss. And immediately forget about the loss and don't remember it because it will only make us sad and there is a possibility that we will want to keep trying to recover.

Some scenarios do indeed relate to what I've experienced, such as after a big win, I always feel the urge to bet on the next victory by playing a few more games. Sure, I've won again a few times, but what happens most often is a streak of losses. Handling a significant amount of money from gambling seems to make it quite challenging for me to maintain discipline.

Another scenario is my curiosity about other games where I haven't achieved my first win. I do enjoy trying out several games to discover which ones are engaging and match my current mood. Surprisingly, this tends to lead me to waste my deposit funds.

This is the typical scenario where the casino can make a comeback to you even if you won a lot of profit beforehand. This kind of situation can be avoided if you had a plan from the start of your gambling session. Putting some target profit goal would have avoid that kind of situation.

There's no problem in exploring or trying different casino games but you plan a head in minimizing your funds that you will use to play as you have a record of not getting a win on the games you want to try. It's basically for entertainment purposes but minimizing the losses would have been better.

Some years ago, during the world cup tournaments I would lose my sleep. I'll be up almost through the night setting up strategies on how to bet my bets on the games and drawing an imaginary budget on what I'll spend the winnings on. Because I hadn't gotten good rest my judgement becomes very scattered, I'll get easily irritated and of course bet wrongly and lose.

For the times when I win, it is because I didn't think about the games. This is what I was noticed before I win. The reverse is the case for all the losses I experienced.

I learned so much during that period that I know beforehand that my bets haven't been well though through and the outcome may be loss.

Whether it is because it is called too aggressive that you lose sleep to analyze the team to bet even this can be done in just a short time, but indeed this is a different view where you focus too much on the strategy but the results are bad because you lose the bet.

Yeah, when I bet without doing this analysis, I sometimes win bets, but when we focus on it, it's the opposite, I think this is common.

If calculated over the betting period, it may be the same that most lose rather than win, but this is part of the betting risk is quite large.

Chasing your losses can lead you to addiction, practically speaking chances of winning back will take place but because of greed inside
instead of quitting after winning back,

The chance of pushing or continuing to play for more will take place, thinking that you can win more
and you may have something decent before quitting, and that's something that will lead you to keep
trying for more.

Unfortunately, a lot refuse to understand gambling the way it is because everyone wants to try their luck and become hopeful to end up with huge profits. Perhaps this is how greed and emotions affect gamblers that they tend to overthink gambling, that they can still be the winners at the end of the day. But for those who know how to deal with gambling and know when or when not to gamble, they will never fall on the traps of gambling houses.

If you wake up in the morning and the first thing that comes in your mind is gambling, it simply means that you are addicted to gambling and you need to get some help to get out of it. The same is with what happens when you are sleepy, if you sacrifice your sleep for gambling, it is a clear sign that you are a gambling addict, because a gambling addict doesn't always need to be out of money, they might always have money to gamble but they just do it all the time which is not right for them.

A normal gambler might have an urge to gamble as well but they can always control that urge and don't give up on their sleep or breakfast or any other thing they were about to do only to gamble first and then do that thing because a normal gambler tend to have self-control and a lot of patience.

Of course, gambling excessively and even ignoring important needs is an addiction. Because sleeping or resting and eating or breakfast are very important needs for us to stay healthy and fit, and if we ignore these needs then that is a big mistake.
And too much gambling is also pointless, because it will only result in you losing continuously. And gamble calmly, fit and full, because in such conditions you will concentrate when playing and also be calm so you can control yourself and you will also gamble at the right time when everything is fine.

I used to have the same experience like this before. Although I don't wake up early since I stayed up late at night gambling, but since the last thing I did before sleeping is gambling, I tend to think of gambling when I wake up as well. So I also experienced gambling after waking up, and forgetting about eating breakfast. It also become a routine to me, especially in sports betting. That the first thing I do after waking up is to check on my bets. But I realized that it's becoming unhealthy so I tried to change it.

Also, chasing small losses is a very common experience for me. And it would mostly result to losing more since it makes me greedy. That's why I changed my betting limits. I only bet small amount so it would be easier for me to lose that money to avoid trying to win it back. Sometimes I still feel like this but not as usual as before.

I believe that there's always a good time when to gamble and at that time, it's surely when we can think clearly and have a fresh mind about it. Rather than continuing these habits that will not give us any benefit at all and instead of winning, we are just getting more and more closer to get some losses along the road. Of course we cannot realize that because we only think of gambling only without considering some factors first that could help us.

This describes my 80% loss scenario. I even bring in money from anywhere I have if I could at that moment.
The 10% is when I want to get last moment transaction fee before I withdraw.
And the rest 10 are other variables.
Unlike some I don't believe in time, position or accessories that increases your luck. One of my chat friend claimed to have a 100% win while betting on his lucky boxers. But he stopped bragging about it when he ultimately lost.
Beginner luck is also a myth as you are cautious about the size of your bet and you win until the bet you lose.

Yes that's right, and it's a good time in the sense that they're doing well, I'm talking more in terms of them being fine mentally and psychologically. It's like better and as we all know gambling is very draining on the mind and mentality, it's not uncommon to even get stressed out because of the impact of losing there. Yes that's right, they must have a clear mind if they want to gamble, I'm sure if you come in that condition then you are less likely to suffer big losses like other gamblers who are there.

In fact, they know it is not beneficial but we also have to be aware and in my opinion it is natural because the temptation in gambling is very high, and indirectly it has made them like losing their minds. So there is still no better choice and in my opinion nothing is better unless you try to stop.

I am not typical waking up early what ever happening are loser in gambling or not, but when position loss more will try wake up as late possible how to forget with loss. For upcoming day, change small budget and use as limit possible for betting and use small fund in the next time until earn big winning to change amount for betting. Many unpredictable scenario happening later when in the loss position, bad mood is usual habit and spent all time in bad room than communicate with friend.

But is risk have to faced when choosing bet, if won't that happen not try betting as way to earn money but for enjoying game only is not prohibited.

A kind of habit that may allow you to forget about that loss. If you can just wake up and forget that losses it will help you to cope up.

We know by the fact that losing in gambling is not new to us, understanding your chances in gambling gave
you have the right impression to handle both winning and losing.

It's up to you on how to adapt and not to let your emotion to bring you back and keep pushing to recover
your money, it will just lead you to lose more.

Well , I've always had bad luck on small odds around 1.4-1.65 and whenever I placed a bet on this odds , I ended up losing it 90%. The scenario is that most of the times I pick the wrong game , wrong team and wrong minute to bet as after a short period everything goes in vain with my betting ticket as well. Another scenario would be where I go for high odds and most of the times I have a good catch but I become greedy and I don't want to cashout ( speaking of odds over 10 with just a single game on betting ticket ) , end with not cashing out I'm ending up losing ...again and again  ;D ;D that's why lately I barely place any bets anymore.

That's very true because in our minds, we really want to recover the losses we have previously incurred to make us return to gambling and gambling even more. But it also doesn't guarantee that we can recover the losses because we can experience more losses and lose our money while gambling.

And when we have managed to recover a little from our losses, we still want to continue gambling because we think we will be able to recover from all the losses we experienced. But unfortunately, it won't last long because we can get more losses and it will use up the money we already got from the previous recovery.

Excuses are really bad if you don't have confidence in yourself how can you make the right decision these people suffer more. In gambling one's own intelligence is the most effective it is not right to blame someone else's intelligence may not be effective. Betting on the intelligence of others many gamblers do not know how to deal with gambling losses and start gambling without prior knowledge of how to deal with the situation and risk losing.  You have to accept your defeat and move forward with your own wisdom.

I don't know for the others but surely, I can relate to this one. It's not that I am thinking of anything, but I always end up losing every time I play in the morning. Maybe because my mind is still adjusting or still asleep which is the reason for most of my loses.

Seeing gamblers thrive intellectually and psychologically is rewarding. Who doesn't like the serenity that comes from staring at the roulette wheel and wondering if you'll be eating instant noodles for a month? Gambling causes mental and emotional damage. Intoxicating highs, soul-crushing lows. Stress, worry, and insomnia are included. A twisted type of self-flagellation keeps you coming back.

Gambling with a clean head is like finding a unicorn in a desert. Relentless temptation is designed that way. The gaming industry seems to have a hidden deal with the devil to make you question your sanity. And yeah, it's not good in the long run. Unfortunately, the casino floor or online betting attraction is strong.

Waking up early and without eating breakfast then  gamble immediately is a bad idea cause we all know that once people don't have enough time to sleep then when wake up you felt that your head is too tough or let says headache then playing in gambling is not recommended cause the reason of you are mentally absent then it will affect your game and most of a time you will lose because you are run out of focus.

Taking breaks is always important. Whether you are gambling, working in an office, or doing anything in the world, there need to be small or big breaks in between for you to regain energy, mental stability, freshness, and calmness by getting your tiredness removed. So, it's definitely essential to get away from the screen for some time when you clearly see that it's not working out and you are constantly losing and that's affecting your mental stability and focus.

When you take a break, stay away from gambling for a little while, and when you come back, you will be fresh with a positive mindset and that will help you focus more on the game. Even though winning or losing in gambling is dependent on luck, you still need mental stability and focus to increase your chances.

I dont disagree, I had the same feeling just irrational losses.  My main take on that if it were so biased then it should be an easy win taking the other side of that bet wherever possible and often it is.   But really the loss percentage reflects lack of time or duration of betting in that game.  Put down a single large bet and lose and its a 100% absolute loss, that game never gave anything back and we all know a single loss totally possible but the higher the number of attempts to win usually brings about the actual proper percentage win that is realistically available.  My main argument would be to pace yourself, split the amount for gambling that day up by however many attempts to play and win that game there will be.  IF a person has only 5 mins to gamble, they have to rush and place all the money at once, its entirely unideal but if theres a planned amount of time spread the bets over the duration possible to try and win and actually get a profit from playing.

The losses give you some emotional impact on the gambling,many people Get addicted to the gambling.My attitude being a gambler is just hold and dont take decision in the loss and emotion.The decision at the emotional is not good and correct decision.So save your emotion and don't spend on the unwanted things.Because our emotion had more value,if you get more anger issues.Then your health will be spoiled because of the emotion.Most of the crypto traders will be suffered a lot from the emotional misleading and loss of emotional control in the trading.The gamblers also need to control their emotion.

That's exactly right, buddy

Conditions like that make us often experience lose. I also experienced the same thing, conditions like that didn't happen once or twice, but often. Even so I repeated the same mistake. This may be caused by:

1) Greed
2) Controlled by lust and forgetting common sense
3) Thinking luck will come continuously even though we know it never happens

But even though we know that gambling has a greater chance of losing but we still gamble, sometimes I think that I am like a fool. Or gambling has an addictive effect so it is very difficult to give up.

First of all you do good job to leave such a risky way because lots of people who have addiction of gambling hardly move themselves away from it. Addiction of gambling is the primary reason that most of the people moves towards other bad activities if they face regular loss in gambling.

Those who are involved in gambling of matches are so addicted that if there is no match in a day then they are going towards other type of gambling because their aim is just to earn money and they don't think what bad is happening with them.

I will tell you a "secret" which is just my personal experience in these last two weeks playing slots from Reel Kingdom,kinda the Big Bass Series,and specifically Fish Eye with slightly different mechanics,if you have patience you will win in the long run and by long run I mean playing for three hours,using IDR as a balance and using the lowest bet,just keep buying the bonus for those three hours,don't worry if you lose 5 consecutive to 10 consecutive bonuses,soon after the game will go crazy and give you a bit more money,you will not win a lot but something,I always start with 300.000 IDR and buy the bonus with 10.000 IDR with min bet,always I end up with at least 380.000 to 700.000 IDR,not a lot as I said but the game gets super bored with you and want to give you money so you raise the bet,if you raise it your money are gone,so never raise the bet.Enjoy your profit but don't overdo it  ;D

P.S:Disclaimer try this at your own risk,this is not a guaranteed win,just what happened to me the last 2 weeks.

It all starts with the losses they get after they finish gambling. It makes their emotions rise, and they want to go back to the casino to gamble again. If a person can control his emotions, he certainly will not return to the casino for a certain time because he already knows he can lose and cannot complain about why he lost. He knows that losing is a risk of gambling; therefore, he will not use a lot of money to gamble because he understands the risks and does not want to lose too much. This is what we have to do when gambling so that we will not experience increased emotions, which can cause us to be reluctant to stop gambling and instead want to recover losses. And gamblers need to control their emotions, even if they win so that there is no desire to try to get another win.

And bare in mind that you arent that a full time gambler on which you do have that typical job or something important things to be done on your living and if it turns out that you have a headache just because you didnt
eat because of such losing session then it would really be basically be affecting other things which arent supposed to be affected just because you had made yourself that react much which would be resulting in doing those kind of acts knowing that affecting your body doesnt really give that good impact in overall. This is why it doesnt really have any sense for you not to eat up just because you have lost on your gambling sessions but well each person is different on which there are those who are highly reactive and there are people which are really that having that good self control and awareness on whats good or bad for them. Sometimes we do really go into
that extent on which we are really that making bad decisions which we would really be regretting later on and its better that while its still early then better to make yourself that wary on such possible scenarios.

Blaming someone for your loss,isn't a good way to stay healthy in gambling,because you wouldn't learn from your mistakes. This will make you continue to gamble the more since you believed that the previous loss wasn't from your corner and before you know it,you have lost more. Staying late night to gamble and waking early to gamble based on loss,is something that i have done severally. I have even played gamble all through out the night because i had a big loss on that day and i must tell you guys the truth,i got fustrated the next day because i couldn't go to work based on i wasn't able to recover my loss and had just couldn't do anything. I am happy now that i am a responsible gambler.

Mostly the gamblers will get some sad mood after the loss.So the same was common to many gambler including myself.Then I will spend some time on the offline games like cricket and chess to entertain myself.Because I don’t have any money for the new game and I was not get away from the game of loss.The loss mind set can be over come by entertain yourself in other stuff.So when the gambler have fun with other games or do some daily routine activities like gym,swimming and taking varieties of food helped to get away from the loss from the gambling.If you can’t able to overcome from the loss,it will be best option to forgot your gambling loss itself.

Many people will certainly agree with you and also list countless other reasons or situations that make them have a bad experience playing games of chance.

Unfortunately, many still believe that gambling is just about luck or bad luck, but the truth is that the gambler's emotional state greatly influences the losses or gains from games.
You need to "have your head on straight" to know when to bet, who or what to bet on, when to stop or increase bets.

A good game depends on luck and a good emotional state.

Captain bad luck strike me hard once again on the start of this week. I commit again this scenario "Playing gambling after a recent huge win" for whatever freaking reason that tingling me to play despite I'm really controlling myself to abstain today since I'm in a huge profit last week.

I had a total of 500$ by playing slowly from Monday to Saturday then I rest on Sunday. I was planning to abstain gambling this weekend but guess what. My initial 100$ loss turns into 600$ loss real quick. 20 Straight blackjack hands with high bet doesn't gave any profit. I really feels like the casin is just getting back what I win for experiencing this terrible loss.

On the brighter side, I can finally abstain gambling this week now that my profit and initial bankroll already gone.  :D

Lol that's hard abstaining for sure at the moment you can follow your plan since you already lose your money for this week.  :D

Maybe I will not follow that since if I win some huge money from casino I usually rest for more days or even week since same as that I don't want to lose all and get upset for unwanted result. But also well it look likes its ok from your end since you still enjoy that lost so maybe even money is gone still it serves its purpose on getting enjoyment.

Losing can trigger higher levels of adrenaline so that emotions also increase significantly and make anyone have the dilemma of stopping securing the remaining money they have but when gamblers have experienced an emotional increase they tend not to care about anything and the only thing that always comes first is being able to continue play until you get big profits.

About emotional self-control seems to be more difficult to determine than stopping when you have lost all your money without any remaining because people who have lost control can use any means to continue gambling sessions without thinking about the risks or impacts that might occur.
It takes learning and also some actions so that gamblers can control their emotions when gambling, but not everyone can start gambling with patience and easily accept defeat.

Talking about self-control there is actually a positive side that can be utilized from gambling activities if we want to learn about it namely being able to become more responsible, patient and always think with long-term considerations, but unfortunately not many people realize this.

Tbh, I’m still getting frustrated the moment I’m losing but I can easily accept that shit happened always in gambling that’s why I can always move on quickly. I’m always more positive after the lose because I do things that I can’t do whenever I always have the urge to gamble. For example, I manage to plant a couple of herbs and repair my dog kennel that is wreck for a couple of weeks just because I want to forget my gambling loss. Now, I just laugh about my losses and forget about chasing this losses this week.

A real goal achievement but a bit expensive.  ;)

Everyone feels the same when we lose. It's really frustrating how come we often lose like continuously or every hand is not a winning hand. That's why in these times we should really focus on other things than to think about our losses and stress over all of it. This might not be easy but this is the only choice we have since we won't be able to take back our losses even if we stress ourselves out.

Everyone who enters gambling or a casino can become an addict in the future. Now, it depends on each individual gambler whether we choose to become addicts. Of course, most of us don't want that to happen to us. We just want to gamble for fun; if we want to win, I think that's normal for a gambler like me, but of course, when our gambling runs out, that's the time to stop and go back to the day that we had gambling again. Aside from your other question, in terms of finances, does gambling help? Maybe when I win, it helps me, but it rarely happens. Most of the time, gambling does not help me financially. It's also not valid as a source of income for me, so I can't say it's my habit. Because I gambled only once or twice a month.

Really frustrating when we lose especially if we encounter heavy losing streak. If that gonna happen on my session I immediately quite so thay no big losses will happen since this would be more stressful. Although this might not be easy to anyone but for sure constant experience on those losses and winning scenarios for sure you can manage your finances the activities done on any casino we choose the spend our time and money.

It is not a dilemma if they realize it is better to stop gambling to secure the remaining money than to continue gambling. They have seen what happened to them in previous gambling, where they have experienced defeat. If they don't care about their money, it's up to them to continue gambling, and they will experience even more losses. And that will happen to gamblers who can't control themselves well because they think playing one more round of gambling is okay.

However, learning to control yourself is very necessary because the temptation of gambling will become greater, and perhaps someone will not be able to bear it if they do not have good self-control. If they can stop before they lose all their money, that would be better because they can use their money tomorrow if they return to the casino to gamble again. It's not easy to learn to control yourself, and it takes time before you can really master it well. But it would be useful if they were willing to practice it every time because having good self-control is useful not only when they gamble but also for other things.

What is certain is that if we have self-control, we can be more responsible with all the actions we take. We will have considerations before we decide.

That's a sign of an irresponsible gambler. And you definitely lack self-control because if you had self-control, you would never do that and you would simply keep the money and gamble later. It is also not recommended to keep betting on the same game hoping to finally get a win when you can clearly see that you are constantly losing. Simply get out of that game and the casino itself when you don't see any fruitful results only to save the remaining balance.

If I were you and I was really to try my luck just to see, I would go and play a slots game only to see if I'm getting anything or not, and if I had no proper wins within about 20 to 30 spins, I would just get out of the casino and keep the balance there so that I can come back later and try again and I might be able to win something.

Gambling cannot be a source of income on a regular basis, it is just a high risk entertainment that helps us to get the happy hormone dopamine. As I have said many times before there are many activities in the world that can help us get this hormone, but most of them just like gambling require money. Each of us has the right to choose which entertainment suits him, but I am sure that gambling has such a high popularity because of the ability to play online.

There is no doubt about the effect of emotions in gambling. Poor psychology will always lead to poor decision and wrong choices. However, luck play a significant role in gambling. As expected, any game of chance requires some kinds of luck to make huge wins.
I'm not dispelling the importance of skill and strategy as they are also very important for success in gambling.


I love how you concluded it and I will just add strategy to the luck and emotional balance you already mentioned. A good strategy increases your chances of winning while helping you manage your risk properly.  Remember, no one goes to battle unprepared... so you must plan your games, going for the most probable outcomes and drawing up your financial plans so you do not run out of funds over few losses.

Would really be just that a total common sense on what you should really gonna do on the time that you are experiencing huge loss, which is to completely stop and dont tend to chase up losses but somewhat we are really that seeing the different thing but rather these fellas do really continue than on completely stopping and this is where disaster do really happens on which on the time that you do realize but its already too late.

When im in losing situation then i do just simply walk or completely stop on my gambling activity and im trying to save up my balance as much as possible or minimizing the risks on blowing it all but its not really that something easy to be done considering that inner voice would definitely be influencing you and you cant really be able to completely stop and this is where self control and discipline would really be relevant on this time.
This is why it would really be that always recommendable that you should really be having that control because if you dont then most likely you would really be ending up on having a blown account or balance.
Its always important on setting out those common limit lines or amounts on a particular gambling sessions, just dont make yourself go above with those border lines then you should really be just fine
because this had been always the main issue of most people.

Hmmm... My losses for a long time have been associated only with betting on sporting events, so most of the reasons listed in the first post do not affect me (I place bets in advance). From what I noticed, the main reasons are a violation of my own rules - for example, in order to increase the odds of a multi-bet, I add a prohibited outcome to it. For example, Dortmund's victory (when they are not on a winning streak = they have not proven that they have temporarily overcome their instability).

Emotional self-control is indeed a challenging skill to develop, especially in the context of gambling where the allure of potential big profits can override rational thinking. It's essential for individuals to recognize when they're losing control and to take steps to curb their impulses.

I think what helps most to most peeople would be having a turly responsible gambling involves setting limits, sticking to a budget, and being aware of the risks involved. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes these benefits, and the allure of quick gains can lead to reckless behavior.

Yes that's one of the best thing to do since making yourself more busier can help yourself erase out your urge to gamble. Although its really frustrating to lose but for as you stated once session done and you already on right mind to think about your past actions made you will just laugh about your attitude shown since you find it wrong and funny then think about will not commit same mistakes again.

@OP

Kudos for spotting your gambling patterns; it's a big step towards mindful play. Many of your triggers, like playing on an empty stomach or when distracted, can cloud judgment. A lot of gamblers, myself included, find it beneficial to set clear ground rules: no playing when tired, hungry, or overly emotional after big wins or losses. Multi-tasking games might also dilute focus, so consider honing in on one at a time. The key is always to remember that gambling should be about fun and entertainment. Recognizing patterns, setting boundaries, and journaling can guide us towards more informed and enjoyable sessions. Stay safe.

They will not notice after continuing a few rounds but only notice it after they have finished gambling. They will regret seeing the big losses they have suffered from the reduced balance in their gambling account. That makes them realize they have taken a big risk by continuing to gamble. But it was too late to regret it because their money had already run out, and if they still wanted to continue gambling, they had to deposit some more money. And some still deposit more money because they want to gamble and recover their losses.

When we are in a losing situation, it is better for us to immediately stop gambling activities because if we instead deposit more money, it will not provide a big opportunity to recover the losses. We will experience a big defeat, which can make us lose a large amount of money, making many people unable to accept it. We really have to minimize the risk of losing money in gambling with self-control to prevent losing a lot. And it's worth doing because we can stay within the limits of what we can afford. We also don't need to try to recover from previous losses because it will be difficult for us to get a win that can recover from previous losses.

Lolz!! you tried for remembering all those things. In psychology when someone is about to sleep in the night and on the bed he or she would be remembering everything he or she has done in the day. even though it is not all, at least 98% of the activities of the day would be remembered. and you will be thinking of them how it happened and how it was solved. and one thing I also noticed is that when I loss a bet and I want to play again to regain my loss and someone talked to me at that time, ah, I will be very much angry at him with the transgression of anger.

So when you loss in the process of gambling and one thing you have to look into is the method of gambling. you have to change the way you were gambling and adopt new style. If anyone forget or could not remember how he gambled and loss in the day then he is liable to loss more.

Fun fact: Even I knew this ground rules everytime I play in gambling, in fact this scenarios  is already imprinted to my mind is I keep repeating to do one of these bullshit scenario due to my urge on gambling. It’s like I’m countering myself that I can break this curses which I can’t whenever I try.

I’m just blessed that I can get over easily all this mistakes since I can accept it easily and move on for a next session without thinking my previous losses unlike typical gambler that  will be uncontrollable to chase their losses. We all know what’s gonna happened if you chase lose while you are still in adrenaline rush due to your previous losses.

Yes, there are many points that completely coincide. I don’t play or place bets if I’m tired,this has already been proven more than once. The result will most often be only negative. First of all, you must be in the mood and strength, then you can do it. If the event is of a global scale, then I can ask my friends to place a bet for me in advance, but not for a large amount, just as much as I am willing to spend.

We all get caught up in the wind of hope sometimes, especially when things look bad. "One more try, things might go better this time," says that little voice inside. The idea of getting back losses is appealing, but it can make us lose sight of the real world. Studies have shown over and over that the house always wins. Because of this, its very important to know when to step back.

Remember that its not about the money you lose; its about how the chances work. Many people find it hard to learn how to control themselves. If you know when to stop, you'll protect not only your money but also your mental health. In the world of chance, lets promise to be smart and keep ourselves safe.

But stopping gambling when you lose is very difficult and anyone will always think about being able to get back the money they lost by continuing to play or bet.
You need to know that stopping when you lose will feel harder than stopping when you win while losing may not be accepted directly but if you win someone thinks about using the winnings to have fun such as going to an entertainment venue.

Self-control can start with having a patient attitude and easily accepting all forms of unpleasantness such as losing and I don't think everyone has that kind of attitude especially when gambling which creates high curiosity and adrenaline rush.
In this gambling section there are lots of threads related to self-control and emotions but I haven't really seen any important points that are very effective in overcoming the problem of self-control because all of this arises based on the self-will of the which has characteristics different.

Well that is a good impact that self-control can have but the percentage of control is only 10% of what can be done.

Am a victim of some of the things you listed. I hate it when I lose for a bet that I should have avoided. Your number one is what every new trader faces and even old traders. When we lose we want to attack the casino quickly to get back our money. We do this with an unsettled mind and we continue the loss that way. The other one, nobody should gamble or do anything else with sleepy eyes. It always end badly. If you are feeling sleepy that means you are tired and the best thing to do when tired is take a break. I have learnt this.


How did you get over your addiction? I have seen people struggle with addiction for years. Some went into depression from it and had to end it with suicide. Your addiction survival story will be appreciated and I know many others can learn from it.

I started to gamble in 2014. I was addicted from the start all because I was looking for ways I can use gambling to make money consistently, like weekly income. I quite gambling in 2019. That was five years after. I started to gamble again a year after, that was 2020. I noticed I wanted to be addicted again and I quit again and started to gamble some months after. Then I noticed I was not addicted again in that 2020. What made me not to be addicted again was when I know the root cause of my addiction. I later knew I can not make gambling a source of income because it will only destroy my life. That was where the addiction ended.

Yes, it's normal for many gamblers to experience this because greed can come at any time and in any situation. We must resist the temptation to "try one more time" so that we don't experience loss that will hurt us later. And there will be no point in losing a few times after we can get a big win. We will only regret what we have done but cannot win again. And I agree with you on knowing when to back off to avoid that greed.

We must learn when to stop gambling and not try to chase more wins. Maybe when we step back, that is the best time because if we continue gambling, we could lose all our money. Don't worry. We can still gamble again tomorrow, and it's better to save the money for tomorrow.

Nothing is difficult if we are willing to try it, and learning is the attitude we have to adopt to stop gambling at the right time. We don't need to think that we can get the lost money in the next round because we would rather avoid losses that could get bigger. Indeed, stopping when you lose will feel more difficult. I have experienced it, but it will be better than taking the risk of losing again in the next round. It's up to you to choose.

There are many ways to have self-control, and each person may use different methods, but they have one goal: good self-control. Everyone has self-control, but most of them cannot maintain self-control well, so they will continue to be tempted by what they see. And in the end, they will continue gambling even though they have already lost. And if they continue gambling after winning, that doesn't guarantee they can keep winning. Everything may still be a theory of self-control because this self-control must be trained from time to time so that you can have good self-control. And to practice it, you must have a strong will to have good self-control.

If you want, you can enter that 10%. But you have to try to have good self-control.

You should have known from the other gambler’s experiences that gambling as a source of living will never be sustainable and will only put you high hopes on it and still end up with big disappointment and huge losses. That is why from the start, I set some boundaries towards my gambling habits. Although sometimes the urge to constantly gamble really triggers me, but I believe it’s all on your discipline and wise money management that still keep my gambling expenses manageable. Gambling addiction always brings negativity in us, that’s why we have to avoid it before it will ruin all our hard-earned money and end up regretting.

The positive attitude gamblers will have the self control in the gambling.The pessimistic gambler will think all in the negative manner,So he get more depressed from each loss and get addicted to gambling very easy way.If you had taste the way of winning from the gambling and spend it.The enjoyment from the winning money spend will help us to get addicted into the gambling.The important factor of being gambler is,you should learn when to stop the gambling and when to continue the gambling.Their will be many thread in the gambling section,but the important factor is how much points you get from it.

When we're on the losing streak we don't know what to do. Most of the time we continue to wager and end up losing everything. Beyond certain stage we'll get to know better about the reality of gambling and we try to limit ourselves as we know that the end result is going to be loss. At the beginning days we won't be having much understanding and we'll be with lots of dreams, achieving big through gambling. The reality will be understood in the later days.

I personally loss control when I keep on losing. Most of the time I try to have small amount in the main wallet and secure the rest on vault. This will help me avoid unwanted losses. If not, I'll just keep on wagering to recover what I've lost. Here most of the time losing will be the end and in very few attempts used to be lucky to recover the lost funds.

If the gambler get the loss again and again he may get confused into the game.The gambler will increase their deposit again and again.Then he may lose everything in the gambling.Instead the gambler can do the gambling and if they get continuous loss,then he can stop the gambling for certain period.Because he may loss every holding money,if he keep continue the game.The emotion will play the huge role after the big loss or after the continuous loss in the gambling.Every gambler get into gambling from the mindset of going to win big money from gambling and use their real money.To some it works,to others it may get away all holding.

If that happens and they cannot stop, then the losses they suffer will be even greater. Most likely they will become gambling addicts and increase their bets continuously in the hope that one win will return their money. They will continue gambling until they go bankrupt. I think if emotions take over then losses will come because common sense no longer functions well

I always thought that gambling was a game of luck, precision and emotional control. If we can't control all that then there is just a waste of money. Gambling is no longer a fun activity, but adds stress

not only in gambling but in all aspects of life which is why prevention is better than cure. Having self-discipline will prevent you from becoming addicted as you will be cautious about what you are doing. Just keep in mind that bad things will happen to you and your family.
 
We all know that it is easy to say that you will not be addicted to gambling but as long as you are limiting your screen time, your budget, and also the frequency at which you gamble you won't be getting addicted to it.

Learning how to deal with a scenario in which you are losing money is important, as this is the most common scenario a gambler is going to face while they entertain themselves with gambling.

This can be difficult at first, as due to their inexperience gamblers let their emotions to take control of them and make all kind of wild bets trying to recover the money they have lost, however it is important to not let our feelings to rule over us, as in this way you will realize those mistakes way earlier and not suffer major losses because of them, and finally you will learn to enjoy gambling even when you are down and your luck has not been the best during your session.

The real victory in gambling is when we are able to control ourselves over the gambling activities we do.
If we already have the intention to change our mindset about gambling and try to reorganize our gambling activities then this is not something that is difficult to do. What is difficult is not the beginning, but what is difficult is consistency with the rules that we have created ourselves to limit gambling activities and limit the money for betting.

The last one.

It's like when I am already winning and I think that I can win some more so I play and look for more other games to bet with. It's hard to control that moment when you're winning.

I think that's even harder when you're on that part than when you're losing because that's the drive for you to stop. Unlike when you're winning, you just can't stop because you're thinking more positive.

smiling while reading your post, as I also have this kind of mentality when playing, instead of quitting while still in positive that kind of thinking that maybe I'll try for one last time to add some more with my earnings.

Then you know mostly things will start the other way, you lose, then you will try to bet again till you notice
that you are already empty and there's nothing in your wallet anymore, and then it's just regret and nothing
else..

I also feel that when I win, I have tried not to care about it many times. Unfortunately, I still have to practice a lot to control myself when I win so I won't be tempted to continue other gambling games. And that also happened when I lost because, with that defeat, I was prompted to continue gambling to recover the loss.

So, whatever situation we get, winning or losing, we might be tempted to continue gambling because that is a normal thing that can happen to every gambler. And that's why we have to be able to control ourselves and only learning can help us avoid the desire to continue gambling.

Honestly, nothing major happens to me when I lose. Sometimes I gamble for a very long time between my wins and it could happen, I am fine with that. Because I managed to realize long time ago that it is not really about making a profit when gambling but more about how much fun I am having and if I am having fun that should be enough and I would not need to do anything else. I get that life is not that simple and we are not doing something that would be big enough without a loss.

So, I end up accepting my faith when I lose, and if I lose too much then I stop gambling and just do not gamble. I limit my losses anyway so I can't lose more than that amount and that means I am going to have a limit to my loss anyway.

But most gamblers experience the same thing as what I said before and maybe some can manage control and even stop at any time when they feel the chance of winning is getting smaller but there are only a few gamblers who are able to do this because gamblers from the start have aimed to generate winnings or find additional sources of income.

I agree that everyone has self-control but most cannot maintain or apply self-control well and that is the biggest problem that has happened to all gamblers in the world of gambling.
Practicing self-control looks like it is easy to do and can always be prioritized by everyone but it will feel difficult if you try it especially when there is the temptation of betting opportunities and in the condition of having more money to bet.

Of the many gamblers that exist they have different characteristics and also the goals of gambling even in their behavior they also have quite a lot of differences so whether whatever is done in a more positive or negative form it is difficult to direct it as we want or suggest because they have a way of thinking that cannot be parallel to ours.
Maybe they have limits or self-control that they can apply but they can't do this perfectly straight away and learning to control themselves is very difficult in fact gamblers rarely have positive thinking and can consider all their gambling actions.

Thanks.

That's always the case and scenario for the most of us. We're too confident that we're not going to lose when we're winning and then the opposite comes to us. And when you finally realize it, it's too late.

Yup, we're careless when we're winning.

That's like an ego setter as well for we think that we'll never lose or it's okay to lose because we've won already. But we're too vulnerable with our emotions when we're like that.

Well, this has to do with something with your readiness and not just that you are tired and you will lose. This is no logic.

Yes. when you are fresh, you will think more before placing the bet, you will research more and therefore the chances of winning the bet will increase as compared to a situation where you are tired and just place the bet. Although there is no hard and fast rule, that you will win the bet only when you are fresh and energetic, you can still lose the bet in both situations.

Among the many interviews I have watched with gamblers who have recovered from addiction, there is a common feature - they say that the danger of starting to play again remains with them for life. It's like a stigma that always stays with you, and you can't get rid of it - you feel that you have to control yourself, and you need to avoid all kinds of gambling. In no case can you even play on a demo account, this is one of the rules of self-control. It is believed that a demo account is one step towards starting to play for real money again. Of course, it is much easier to control yourself if there are native people nearby.

Having people that surrounds you to give you some warning and reminders will certainly help you out. It's like whenever you're itching and starts to crave to gamble, they are there to stop you.

But not at all times that they will be there and you still need to get on your own feet to avoid. It's hard to get rid of it but you have to overcome it not just with will power but also with acts.

As in do everything you can to avoid if you want to get rid of the addiction that's making you lose control of yourself and money.

Yes, when we win, our ego will increase and if we cannot suppress it, we will continue gambling and that's where our losses will increase. So we have to be able to control our increasing emotions. Stopping gambling and leaving the casino can reduce our emotions, especially if we can immediately rest or do other activities that divert thoughts about gambling and ego from continuing to gamble.

It is true that they say that the danger of starting to play again is with them all their lives. But they must have learned how to handle it well so they won't go back to gambling again. And when they can control themselves and have more activities, they are unlikely to return to gambling and as long as they can take care of themselves, it will be fine. And if necessary, they must be able to completely stay away from all things related to gambling, not even playing using a demo account. With the help of people around him who love him, he can help him stay away from gambling.

The ultimate aim of the creation of the gambling was to entertain the gamblers and to earn some small money for it.Because the gambling site owner spending some money to build the site and spending huge money for the marketing.The gambler may win the big money,if they had enough luck.The win or loss based on the good time of the gamblers,the healthy mind will enable you to make the quick decision in the gambling.The important factor in the gambling was taking the quick decision on the betting.The strategy will play the next role in the winning of the betting at the time of playing gambling.

It's business and for sure the design is to earn. Yup, sometimes the gambler may win some but that's not always going to happen
casino may allow you to win, but the time will come that it will be sucked away again from you.

You need to pay for your entertainment, but you need to balance. You should always be in control
and not let your emotions to dominate you, as most of the time when you are losing you wanted
to keep playing for more, adding more money and regret after you got emptied.

This is something that happens to every single person that has experimented an addiction, as despite the fact that they know that going back to their former addiction is something bad, they cannot help but to crave for those sensations again, now this is very problematic for those that are addicted to illegal drugs, but it should be many times worse for those that got addicted to something that is legal, as the source of their addiction is everywhere and every single day is a struggle for them.

I guess nobody is free from ever tilting or what about you guys? Tilting is definitely bad in gambling or in poker and the worst part about it is that sometimes you can of course also get lucky while being tilt. In poker this can be quite an extreme case when you know that you should fold a certain hand in a certain position, but you are like fuck it and go for it regardless and then out of a sudden you hit that set with a low pair or hit the stupid two pair against an AK hitting the ace in the middle. I have had quite some different situations and sometimes tilting even helped me to get back into the game, but the majority of the time it costs you money.

Ultimately, it's the decision of the gambler to not give in to the temptation of being addicted to gambling. It feels good to win while you gamble, and it certainly feels great to have some money in your pocket after entertaining yourself, but you can't always have it all and at one point, you have to decide on whether or not you'll continue or not. There are tons of gamblers out there that do not think twice in going after the big jackpot even if it affects their financial state badly, and it's certainly something that one must avoid if they don't want to compound their burden to themselves.

Gambling is just for fun and you should really be thinking that the money that you are allocating on simply playing it is already gone so that you wont really be finding yourself that impulsive when it comes to your gambling session because the most common behavior we do have is on the time that we are winning then we cant really be able to completely stop and call it a day on which you would really be pushing your luck even more and having that kind of mindset that you should continue to play for you might be able to get more but the sad fact that those winnings would really be just simply be taking back into the casino which we know that
luck isnt always on our side most of the time.

This is why it would really be wise that when you are winning then you should stop and call it a day and when you are losing then better stop also and dont chase those losses on which it would really be that making
yourself to avoid more devastation situation because this is where most gamblers do really fall on where they do become addicted and become impulsive and this is something
that we must avoid on tending to engage or doing gambling thing.

Whenever I'm in a casino and a losing streak begins, which Andie likes, and it's obvious, because I don't know Andie who likes to lose, sometimes people's behavior varies, that is, some keep trying to win. Others give up and leave, and never fly again, because they say that they spent their money and lost it, that it is better to spend it than leave it in a money, because everyone has their own way of thinking, and when I lose, I don't increase. my bets, on the contrary I make bets with less money, it is what we should do, while the logical logic is lost for some, then making the best bet to recover, but no, it does not work like that, it is or is so similar to how it is in a GYM and lifting a lot of weight but with few repetitions, to increase? That's not a lie, lowering the weight and denominating makes the muscle develop, so the analogy here is similar, if I'm losing , since I'm losing, I'm not going to lose more and more, I bet less and they bear me, because I have to go down that streak to a minimum, if I want to continue playing I should not make minimum bets and when I see that I am going to win and I am winning, increase it, because if I Increase it then I win more, that is very obvious.

Of course, it is worth noting that when we only put it in a context of logic, the idea or what I do is very logical, and they have all the ways to be able to be constant in the profits, so in this order of ideas we can say that things when They are About how to win , how to do so that we lose less and how to put our money in a constant profit without us decapitalizing ourselves, that is what we can do so that things flow in a good way, well, for the rest I think that things can happen the way we want, it's just that sometimes the techniques we use are not so good, in fact I deduced that Technique from playing so much, well, the lack of experience is what one can get Ideas from.

Yep. Being upset or tilting is common on gambling since we involved money on every bet. No one become happy when we lose bets even if it’s just small. I’m gambling for many years but I still feel upset whenever I lose since that is the normal reaction on every lose.

I relate on being sometimes being lucky when tilted since I’ve done it many times on Blackjack. My balance is already down to 200$ from 1000$ through long losing streak of small bets. I become tilted and bet 200$ and keep roll over when win until I get 1000$ profit aside from my 1000$ bankroll with only few roll over bet. I only done this few times but most of the time I loss quickly.

Of course, that is how you do it because in betting, even if it's just a sports-betting, it still requires analyzations and comparison of datum to minimize risks while increasing your chances. So, if you're already tired for the day then there should be no reason for you to bet even if you can still afford it as you will just be prone to a defeat because you are not in 100 percent condition. A lot of factors should be considered in betting, hence why gamblers should be ready for everything.

Minimising losses and maximising wins. Lowering your bets while you're losing is okay, but it raises problems about casinos' house edges. No matter how you play, the house always has the advantage. No strategy (raising or lowering your bets) can fight the house edge, which progressively eats your funds.

Gambling requires separating strategy from superstition. Your description may be the "gambler's fallacy," a foolish belief that random events will repair past events. You may not win after a lot of losses.

In the end, gambling is about fun, not winning. If you assume you're playing to win, the house will probably win. Establish a budget and stick to it; dont gamble with rent money.

It must be the eagerness to win that causes the person to stay up despite being tired for the day. Maybe if he wins, he will be more alive. But obviously, you are just pushing yourself way too much when you keep playing while tired.

Some people however just sleep right next to their laptop. They even keep the news play up all night on youtube while asleep. And the moment they wake up, it's the price of BTC that they first check.

A good strategy, you really have to be realistic with your investment and investment goals. If the target has been achieved then it is time to take profits and your capital. and the remaining proceeds from selling Bitcoin will go into new bitcoin investments at lower prices as well as other investments such as Real Estate. Investments will grow and not just be in one basket. This is an example of the correct application of diversification, because diversification is not only on one investment platform but on different platforms which can also provide large profits.

We ain't talking bout things that can affect our gameplays but what we are listing here are the things that we will possibly do once we had a bad session in gambling. Actually many people believes that gambling are mostly about skills, so they keep on playing and preparing a good amount of capital, thinking they can produce more money out of it.

The real truth is that, I think there were only a few games which are based on skills but it doesn't mean that we can almost perfect them. The chance of losing are still there and it was still high. On a skill based game, our emotion can affect our performances, just like in trading, so we must ensure that it was in stable condition before we play.

It's not just about surrounding of giving warnings, someone who is extremely addicted to gambling but wants to get rid of their addiction must have someone around them all the time that will keep them engaged with other stuff and keep them away from gambling so that they can slowly stop going towards gambling. The urge to gamble for addicted gamblers is very strong that they would never be able to control it themselves if there is no one around.

That's why, when an addicted gambler acknowledges the fact that they are actually addicted and are facing problems due to it and they finally want to get rid of it, one of their friends or a family member can give them a helping hand by staying with them all the time so that they can stay away from casinos.

I've always thought the phrase "gambling just for fun" strange. When we drop chips on the table, we're not throwing them away. Win or lose, we're emotionally invested in every wager. Gambling's excitement, sparkling lights, and winners' excited yells are humorous in a bizarre manner

I disagree that you can always "think the money's gone" and not care about results. Anyone witnessed a hot streak? Intoxicating. That streak blinds us, makes us eager for more, and drives us to "win it all." Conversely, those who're losing hope that the next roll or spin will change their luck. I seen and lived it

Not everything's black and white. Sometimes it's not enough to leave while you're up or down. Understanding the emotional toll and being wise about it. Gambling is funny, but the consequences? Not always funny

When people say "The money is gone" can never truly be digested in my opinion. As most people who post in these threads, we are all statistical people. Your money on the table can be seen as EV (expected value). Sure your EV might be negative but it is not worth 0 in every bet. There will be times where you win and lose and in the instances where people gamble for fun, if they truly believe that "their money is gone" they can never leave winning unless they're winning a substantial amount! Then that way they will leave their EV in the negative or close to zero always!

Therefore, you should always stay within the limits. And it's actually quite simple. But our human essence requires us to look beyond the edge and cross it. We never believe someone else's experience, and we won't believe it until we suffer from breaking the rules ourselves. From the decision they made themselves, turning a blind eye to the warnings of other people and the sad stories of people addicted to games. Therefore, it is very important to be able to control yourself and know your weaknesses. We need to be able to look at ourselves from the outside and admit that we are not perfect, and we ourselves may be in the narrator's chair about his gambling addiction. A lot of different circumstances can break us, but now we have no idea about them, because every person has his life experience limited, and expands throughout his life.

Fortunately/unfortunately for me I have experienced most of what OP has listed in the opening thread and this is quite interesting to see how much external factors put a punter off their game unknowingly...which makes me think gambling needs concentration without any sort of disturbances to play with your A game or maybe we playing the blame game thinking we can always be winners  ::)

Btw it's safe to say one factor that is usually overlooked but plays a huge role in how one plays or wins has to go to emotions...if your mind is distracted and not fully invested chances are high that you can not make sound choices and hence the losses that follow...

Curious people, right? Always trying to cross lines. We naturally consider "What if?"

Why is it that we still believe "That won't be me" even after hearing horrific tales about addiction? I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly a few times. Our ego, our stubbornness, our need to be right – it's crazy how often these things get us in trouble. Really, how many times do we need to be told this? But no, we always think we're the unique like that, right?

I agree that self-awareness is really important. I've seen friends get hooked on  and lose everything. It looks bad. We don't really understand something until we're in the middle of it. Know what your limits are. Trust me, you're not as strong as you think

Staying in your limits is not simple if you are a regular gambler. It starts becoming harder and harder as you go deeper into your gambling habit and finally find yourself addicted to it. It can be done if you are disciplined from the very beginning and you know that you can't gamble more than a certain amount or you can't keep gambling for more than a decided time span, but if you haven't been doing that from the beginning, you really can't do it later in your journey.

You will barely find a person who started gambling casually without any limit or anything and they started gambling as a responsible person later on, because once you are too deep into the ocean, there is no chance for you to learn swimming because you were supposed to practice that before going there.

Recently I thought that a cash-only game could help to control my deposit. Without using credit cards. This will allow you to stay in the limit, because you can't lose more than you have on your hands.
It would also be a great solution to play exclusively games that are familiar to gambler. So there will be no losses due to the fact that the interface, or the rules were unclear from the very beginning.
It would also be a good solution to invite friends to be around during the game, they can make sure that the gambler did not fall into a tilt.

When gambling we can feel quite high adrenaline we can even feel curiosity and satisfaction when we win but if we lose in large amounts we might stop without realizing it but most likely we won't stop because there is still an emotional feeling of winning the game that makes us losing even though in that position all the money they have has run out but everyone always racks their brains and looks for shortcuts to make money so they can keep playing.
In casino games concentration is not really needed except for poker games or other skill games that require intelligence or dexterity but it seems like what you are saying is that there are several important points presented here.

Yes that is human nature and is certainly experienced by most gamblers but it is true that every loss is caused by mistakes we make ourselves unless there is luck which we don't have. :o
On average the biggest mistakes are related to finances where we are too greedy in risking finances so that what should have been a small loss and could return to betting instead we lose everything in one game or bet.

A casual gambler does not become an addicted one in a straight line. There are several decisions, feelings, and situations involved. Not only is gambling a central concern here, but impulse control, self-awareness, and mental health are as well. Being responsible when gambling is possible, but it requires a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. The road becomes hazardous for anyone who embarks onto it without a strategy
But, things can always change. Remember that there are resources, professionals, and support networks available to assist people in finding their way back, even if you think it's too late. It's better to start late than never at all. The first step to regaining control is accepting responsibility

Most gamblers have experienced this and consider it the biggest mistake we have ever made. But maybe we will still have difficulty tracking our mistakes, especially if we have been gambling for a long time. We can only control ourselves so that we don't experience defeat like before and only by managing our finances can we do so that we don't lose much money. With self-control, we will not be too greedy in pursuing victory and will feel that we have won enough to quit gambling without any desire to get more wins. We know that we can win with the help of luck and if we have already won, we should stop gambling and take a break to lower the rising emotions.

No one is forcibly dragging anyone to the casino and if a person has no strength to resist his desires then his mind is much weaker than the action of hormones that arise in his blood due to chemical reactions during gambling. I would advise such people not to gamble but to spend time and money to improve their mind and learn to fully control themselves. After all, an adult without proper control is similar to a child, and a child will always find problems.

It's too easy to say "just be self-disciplined."
Nobody knows all his inner demons. We perfectly see the weaknesses of others and their examples from life are always obvious and simple for us, but in fact we ourselves have neither the ability to look at ourselves from the outside nor self-control. Imagine that you won a large sum with the first bet.
Will your inner state remain the same?
I wrote that it's better to keep friends around, or write down your limit, or have only cash. The next time I go to the casino, I will definitely follow these rules, because you need to be especially strict with yourself.

Well, generally things can be quite atypical, when a person does that, they are basically undergoing a stress process that can make them sick, we have something very important in our body, something called the immune system, if we don't put ourselves in This stress, the body manifests it, some people have outbreaks, it produces other reactions, it affects the heart and usually causes discomfort, I know that work and the things they have to do with this can have an effect, but basically we should always take care of these things, because the human body is basically one with the mind, and if a person has that level of stress combined with what can be called the obsession of a price or something, it can present itself as something similar to that of casinos, because basically it goes towards what we could call strong emotions, that's where other things come in.

In the game we always do things like being able to make the most of what we can with money, but there are things so basic that we forget like the house advantage, which we constantly see when we enter a casino to play what we do is Fight against that Advantage , is what every player must have consideration, and submitting to a great deal of stress that in the long run will do more harm than good, it is something that we cannot do, we are good at seeking profits , we must also be good at accepting losses, recovering and seeing the losses as something normal, in trading, in the casino, in games of chance, these things are the ones that we can basically see as what can happen,

In almost the largest ones like stake.com we see many Examples of people who have won a lot on slots, but why ? because they are the ones who make almost million-dollar bets, bets of more than 100usd for me is a lot, but for another person it is not much, that's all we basically have to see is that to get to that level you have to have Persistence.

Each person does really have that different control on which it would really be just that normal that there would be people who can or cant really be able to follow into those limits that they had set earlier.It would really be neither a success or fail when it comes to that limit because not all would really be that having that inner discipline and control which it is really true on what you have said.This is why we dont have the rights on telling that they should do this and do that because we do have our own will and awareness when it comes to the things that we are currently dealing with.It is really just that there are people who are really that mindful about their money and doesnt really tend to waste it off with gambling and this is why it would really be just simply common that they would really be that able to avoid such disaster. There are really people who do really fail
on doing so and this is why they do really end up on a mess. Losing is a common scenario with gambling and you should really be that seeking for entertainment when playing gambling but it would be understandable that
losing is never been that entertaining and this is why its better to make yourself that get prepared.

It's easy to say but difficult to do.
Yes, all of that is true and I also doubt that someone who is very easy to say be disciplined will not be able to control themselves, even when they get a big win someone will not easily stop gambling and leave gambling but instead will continue betting in the hope of winning bigger and without them realizing that it was the beginning of the defeat that awaited him.
Just imagine when someone says discipline is very important and it is very surprising that he gets a big win and in 1 hour he loses it all because he tried to stop but couldn't which is caused by greed which always defeats all discipline and for me there are only 20% of gamblers who are disciplined .

But what OP did is to create a track record and to review. That is on key role in any type of business. Remember if you want a successful gambling, you have to approach it as a business. It is paying attention to details. The journaling of negative traits to get aware of what attitudes and behavior make him more lose into the game. By reviewing, he become aware of what things to prevent and more to practice on moving forward.

I agree with the both of you, but something we must also understand is that, lack of discipline in gambling has every thing to do with addiction, it is obvious that gambling addicts don't know what the word "discipline" mean in gambling,.

And as for a gambler who is not addicted to gambling and does not discipline him or herself in their gambling activities, such person is also on the highway to becoming a gambling addict.

So when you say that only 20 percent of gamblers are disciplined , I assume that what you mean also is that. It's only 20 percent of gamblers who are not addicted to gambling, I might not want to believe this though .

Of all the activities that are often associated with compulsion issues, gambling should be one with the lowest rates of addiction, and this is most likely the case because people deep down can control themselves very well when they gamble.

Now a person may lose control once or twice, but they will learn from those experiences and never make this mistake again, after all if the percentage of people which were addicted or on their way to become addicted to gambling was really 80% then we can be sure gambling will be banned by now as it would be impossible to have a working society otherwise.

That's exactly the thing, having self-control or staying within your limits is not as easy as one might think it is because if you are gambling regularly, you will probably find it hard to maintain a limit if you haven't been practicing that from the beginning. When someone wins a big amount or maybe loses more than they can afford to, that is when they don't remember about any limit or have any self-control, they will either become greedy and want more or will become angry and try to recover their losses.

And we all know what happens in both situations. When you get greedy, you will most probably lose what you have managed to win so far which is unfortunate, of course. When you become angry or emotional, you will deposit more money and try to recover your losses and lose that as well in most cases.

When talking about the issue of discipline or self-control in gambling, it is actually easier said than done because we know not only about gambling but in everything where theory is easier than practice.
But on the other hand, we also have to realize that even though it is a difficult condition, we still have to try to say it at least to be a reminder to ourselves that healthy gambling must be accompanied by good self-control and discipline.
In the end, it is things like that that make us able to minimize what we do at the gambling table.

You get the point. Implementing "self-discipline" is not easy for most people. I often experience this, not only in gambling but also in trading matters. Often I violate what I have set before gambling/trading. In gambling, when we lose and greed becomes a "demon" that makes us break the rules we made for ourselves before gambling. When we are losing, we should stop, but the real conditions is adding deposit to gamble again. But in winning moments, when we should to stop and happy with that amount, we want more till lose again. If it happens, self-discipline no longer applies anymore. Our inner demons is the winner to control us.  :D

There are always difficulties when we make a decision, but we will not know how difficult it will be when we do it. Often, what we think is difficult is not as difficult as we imagine, so we don't want to do it. It is indeed difficult to control ourselves, but if we don't try, we will never know how difficult it is. When we can win big, we must immediately stop gambling, and even though there are thoughts of continuing to win because we want a bigger win, we will not be tempted and prefer to stop gambling and enjoy our winnings. But when we prefer to continue gambling, we are likely to lose, and the loss will be bigger if we lose control.

Your set limitation is where you will find the comfort. I think if you can control such emotions, then you are good to go while you are still playing. The problem is when you already engage too much.

There's something inside that is really hard to resist, both when you are winning or losing
that lust to keep betting and to keep aiming for more time to play, your mind is being polluted
of every gambling strategy that circulates inside you.

That's why I recommend the methods described above. Psychologists advise you to come to the casino without credit and debit cards, but only cash, the amount of which will be equal to the limit that the player can lose. Let's say such a person sits down to play slots and then if he loses everything, then no matter what emotional state he is in, he will not be able to lose more, because he simply will not have more cash.

Also, of course, a very valuable advice is to come with friends to the casino, the main purpose of which will not be to play games, but to make sure that the player remains in self-control.

That's actually a good method to limit yourself by just bringing a limited amount of money into casino. I think it's people nature to feel risk anything they had when they've lost the first time, it would really depends on the person on how they could handle their emotions and decisional making. Plus don't ever get provoked into someone in gambling that would lend you money cause it might be considered a loan which could worsen your situation, like getting held in the casino. I also suggest if the person couldn't handle their emotion, exit the casino, find a comfort space to release your emotions cause if you do something like broke the slots, yeah its worse, cause I've literally seen one where he got detained.

You know, when talking about addiction to hard drugs, it's like something that is demonic (although it's not) because it can derail someone mentally, emotionally, and health-wise. It can just turn someone's better lifestyle into nothing, and that's why it's greatly kicked against, because if it's allowed, society will be full of mentally ill people. Speaking of gambling addiction, it doesn't also mean that there are no compulsive gamblers who are really, really terrible, but since gambling is for fun, it cannot just be ban easily because it's believed not to be destroying their lives gamblers like hard drugs. But the thing is that every addiction has its effects and impacts.

Everyone can imagine why someone would hit the slot machines in a casino - the player might not get the image needed to complete the combination. And the big win passed him by. This way you can get into financial problems almost simply due to your stupidity and imbalance.
But slot machines are the property of the casino, and if you break them, you can let off steam, but then you will have to pay a huge amount for them. And in casinos there are always cameras, and it will be easy to find a rowdy person, so this is a very bad way to calm down or try to influence the situation. Therefore, it is better to leave the casino and give free rein to your emotions and feelings.
The casino is a very emotional place, and there you can lose everything what you’ve earned in your life, or get a "life change".

Hitting slot machines? It's completely insane (and fun too). You're not risk yourself; you're also making matters far worse. Casinos are not only passive . Every move and every second is recorded by cameras. Do you believe that you can smash their property and get away with it? lol

Responsible gaming is more than just a word; it's just important. Knowing where to draw the line is important. The excitement, the rush, and the high are all intrinsic to the game. But it should continue to be treated as a game. A pastime, not an obsession that destroys your life. Tossing away all of your accomplishments at random? Devastating. For what purpose? A "life change" that is more frequently a negative spiral than a real benefit? A waste of time.

Still, when done responsibly and in moderation, gambling can be a fun way to kill time. But you should always be mindful of the dangers. Step back, take a breather, and if it stops being fun, just walk away.  :P :P

This is the simplified version of responsible gambling which I really appreciate. Many people devastated in gambling just because they keep playing even though they are not enjoying due to there chasing loses. I can't blame since it's very hard to walk away in the casino if you still some money left in your balance while you are in loss.

This is the struggle which gamblers should passed in able to gamble responsibly or else they should just keep off from the casino.

One common mistake of frustrated gamblers is that they gamble without limits. They continuously play despite losing hoping that they can recover from their losses which leads to disappointments and regrets. Right from the beginning, gamblers should know how to control and set limits so they would know when to stop and when to continue.

An irresponsible gambler usually ends up with a gambling addiction and an unsuccessful gambling journey wherein they see gambling as a source of stress rather than a source of fun. We should have the proper mindset and preference when it comes to gambling so we'll know how to deal with it properly.

hunger can damage your focus not only when gambling but also when you do your work, so until now i have never missed my breakfast even a day.  The most painful defeat i ever experienced was when i ran out of all my capital even though previously i had won big, at first i thought it was just a myth ^{(losing after winning big)}, i continued round after round because i was trapped in my mind that my luck will not run out, in fact my luck really stops and my capital slowly continues to run out until it is zero.

Most times at this stage, gamblers almost gamble out of frustration. They are gambling and having wishful thinking to recover what they have lost. If you are in this state, you are like someone seeking escape route while under the water. This situation is not really palatable for all gamblers and not everyone can have the emotional control to stop because that feeling of loser will be hanging around the gambler. But the best is to muster the courage to give up and try next time.

This is an interesting point and one that can help a person to very quickly determine if their gambling is under control or not, if gambling has stopped being fun and instead of being a source of entertainment is a source of stress then this is a problem, as this most likely means that some kind of gambling issue is developing, if it has not fully developed already, so anyone which makes that realization must stop gambling immediately and look for help.

Yeah, if you can identify that situation and are still in control, better to stop and not to continue your engagement. You are about to enter the possible addiction stage and if you continue to proceed, lots of worse things are waiting for you.

If you already feeling that pressure and stress and most of the time it's only gambling that circulates
inside your brain, better to assess yourself while you can still break that and choose to be wise in quitting
the situation.
