For the majority of people in the gambling world, it's not always easy to handle a loss, let alone encountering a losing streak up to 5 times and above, This scenario happened recently, during last week, I chose some games that ran from last week down to this week and all my games was in the red, as the league competitions and the European football season of 2023/2024 has just ended and the games we have now on going happens to be the world cup qualifiers games and the international friendlies; However, I'm more of focused on football betting, so the teams I picked to win were,

Egypt to win,
France to win Canada,
Switzerland to win Austria,
Portugal to win Croatia and
Sweden to win Serbia in their respective games,

And reason to select these teams was that I was actually targeting odds that came up a bit, Well, to my latest surprise none of these games were in the money and I can't really recall the last time I had such a losing streak, and the annoying part was that I didn't place this game on same slip, it was a single game all through and secondly some had different match date.

Now, assuming if I happened to be someone who doesn't manage risk or go way above my budget, this would have wrecked my betting balance.

Lesson so far, the need to manage risk is highly recommendable, stick to plans and never go above your plan, all this while my profits have been much higher than my loses, but a single week took the majority of those profits, Therefore, even though you are these profitable person in gambling just as I have been all this while, there may be a rainy day for you and what would protect you are these strategies in place.

Have you had this experience before, and how were you able to manage/handle it?

Loosing streak can be very terrible for a gambler and worse when risk management is not in place. I have experienced it many times and I try never to be in such situation again. I have been a able to find a way of retaining my sanity whenever I find myself enmeshed in loosing streak. I apply the pattern of reducing my gambling amount by half whenever I lose 3 rounds in a row and when I get to the 5th loss in a raw, I take a break. It can be few weeks break or few days break but I will stay away from gambling for a while to put my psychology in check. Others might have their ways of handling this, so I hope to learn too.

No. But I have bet a parley that I lost 4 out if 5 matches. I prefer single matches also which makes me win more than lose. I am not saying I have net profit though. I do not know how to predict countries matches the but I prefer club matches. I do not have a losing streak in a way that I will be losing continuously. What makes sport betting not that pay is the low odds. Most of the odds gone for a always lower than 2. I do not like country matches because they are hard to predict for me than club matches.

I think I've been in a position where it's worse than that.
If I remember it right, it was the last season of the NBA or maybe 2 years ago. It was all recorded in the NBA betting discussion thread where I think I am down by an 8-9 losing streak.
But I don't chase losses by adding more money to my bets. I try to win more than what I lose. If I am 3 losses then I must at least get 4 wins and I don't rush it. Just the same as the flow as how I lost it all.
Because I know for myself that is where it goes all wrong and I never want to be in that position again. We are going to lose more if we make mistakes like doubling our bets the next time because there's really no assurance on the results of the game. Might as well just bet the same amount and enjoy watching it live.

I have not had such an exact experience before because I am for now more into casino games like Plinko, Dices, and Mines, instead of going for Sportbetting. Though, I have got an experience on suffering a losing streak on dices which I can share.
I was basically rolling dices using a moderate wager and multipliers which favored me slightly over the house, so even though I was aware I could lose a couple of times, I was also expecting to see dices to roll in my favor a couple of times (hopefully often enough to have some profit). After I started it turned out I got around 4-5 consecutive losses with that moderate wager and multiplier.
For a moment I felt tempted to chase that money but I contained myself and just logged out and took a rest off my computer por the rest of the day.

I felt bad for a couple of days, but I moved on. In my opinion, the key is to take a rest and not to chase any lost money.

It’s good that you manage your risks, because many players do not do this and would bet their entire deposit equally on all these matches. Of course, there would be nothing left of him; this is a clear example for many of what can happen if the bets do not win. I have moments when I bet on several games and am almost sure that I will win, because I often choose matches that I am confident in, but they lose in the end. I would also say that you cannot be sure of any bet, because everything in the game can change at any minute and the game will go according to a different scenario that we do not expect to see.

Smart players came up with the idea of ​​observing risks for deposits, this has been known for a long time, but it is difficult to always adhere to this rule, because at some point the player will want more and he may break down and bet everything on one match, I am absolutely sure that no one needs to do this , because the loss of the deposit will happen faster than I have time to finish this post.  :)

5 losing streak is not that long. I encounter more than 10 long streak with +100$ bet each btu still I managed to overcome this loss by consistent on my bets and disciplined.

The trick is you should bet using amount which can last more than 20 loses so that you can still have a chance to recover your loss when shit happened. Just rest for a while until your mind was clear and start gambling like you reset yourself without thinking your past losses since the game will always will always balance the lose/profit margin with slight difference to loss.

This is same idea when you are already winning big, you should stop or slow down since losing streak will come surely on you.

Such days are normal and they come once in a while in a gambler's life that you can't just explain why it happened. You will be amazed that big teams that are expected to win are losing. However, having said that, I will still say that qualifiers are always like that, they spring upset most times and you see big teams struggling to win convincingly. Qualifiers are different from club matches rather they are matches played between teams of native jurisdictions and you see small teams that you perceive as weaker to perform beyond your imagination because they already understand the big players in those countries.

Winning bets Isnt easy as it appears in first apporach. We know all that France Is a better team then Canada but this doesn' means they Will able to win all matches. If this happens... These events are not just quoted...

Best solution to losing streak Is easy. Take a pause. Enjoy your free time. Take a long break too if needed.
Never try to recover your loss.

It was the odds then,

Well, odds are another way to play, to determine who is favorite and a little know your team. Though, the win market 1x2 haven’t been a most favored market to me of late. I understand that this is football and in football, anything can happen, those surprises from the underdogs are always there and so, I dangle around several markets.

The goals market have been one of my favorites in recent times and it has paid off on several occasions. Single games betting is good, it reduces your risk taking to just a single game and even better still, not having to play multiple in just a day. I’ve had to do that a couple of times though but not up to 5 games. I haven’t got to lose 5 games in a row, no. I often win a couple of my subsequent games in the event of a previous loss and it often helps my recovery.

A long streak of bad luck does happen we have a saying When it rains it pours I experienced that myself I had two weeks of continuous bad luck it was depressing it was like a curse was cast upon you, but I soon realized that we have no control on how the games turn out in any games, whether it's a sports betting or a casino luck based game.

This is why we take it to heart that we should gamble with money that we can afford to lose and never chase our losses because gambling is full of uncertainty and our minds should be ready to accept whatever result it presented to us.

It's still only 5 consecutive losses, many of us had much longer losing streaks. They say records are made to be broken, the records for the longest losing streaks are not something to be proud of, but they are here, and the more we play, the higher the chances are for new records.

After losing too much it's good to take a break & chill out... we can give it a try later with a cool head, that is better than tilting. I believe people who play with limited bankrolls and amounts they can afford to lose are accepting loses a lot better. Nobody is freaking out, it's just a bad day (they often come) and we know it will not last forever.

That's bad beats and sure it's a losing streak that someone cannot take just as you OP. I've made more than that and others for sure have made theirs but the matter here is about how much is on stake with that losing streak of ours. But then, a lose is a lose and money is on the line and regardless of how much it would be then a consecutive losses is hard to accept and it's gonna give you uncomfortable feeling that you might go on for another try but then another loss could come.

Risk management is really needed. Coming from your plans on until when you're going to gamble, how much you're going to start with your bankroll and you have to stay with plan that you have come up with. Because other unforeseen bets that you're going to add that's not part of your game plan for today or this week might get you some additional trouble. And another lesson not only for OP but also for everyone, when you are in profit, don't forget to reward yourself and take that money. Regardless of how low or high is that, a profit is a profit no matter what you're thinking at that time, you have to withdraw some for yourself or else you're just giving the casino a chance to take back what you should be yours.

The teams you had chosen weren't bad but it's just that luck doesn't favor us sometimes, and even though sports betting is not mainly about luck but it's mostly about your knowledge about the sport and the teams involved, sometimes luck plays its role and when it does, the games that we might think are guaranteed wins for us will turn into losses and we can do nothing about it.

It was wise of you not to increase your bet after each loss because that would cost you a lot of money, and I would probably do the same thing. Or, I would stop after two or three consecutive losses to reevaluate my strategy and to do more research, maybe look more into the sides involved to choose the side that might perform better even though things might not go your way all the time, this can be helpful sometimes.

I think someone hitting a losing streak of 5 or more should take a break to calm their nerves to avoid making reckless decisions because those losses might have not cost you much but single wrong decision would cause more damage.

Stop betting and try to rest by studying the mistakes that occurred, this is sports betting and not casino game so we have the opportunity to study every analysis and prediction that we have made previously.
I always do this kind of thing if I get more losses from several betting slips that I have, after that try to consider the use of money in the next betting session and try to minimize the amount of expenses from the bets taken.
It true that won't be able to guarantee anything, but at least can make much better predictions and manage money wisely to avoid much bigger losses, after all, losing is natural thing to happen.

By the way, I would like to remind you that never bet and make betting choices based only on the existing odds, indeed the top team definitely has low odd and some people think that the team will definitely win.
But basically odd is just number that shows who is ahead and will never guarantee that the team will win, many unexpected things happen in sports betting so must always be careful.

I usually hate betting on friendly matches, because unpredictable results seem to appear more often(well, that's just my opinion, I can't back it up with statistical data).
It's not the end of the world. Just move on and forget about it. The teams on your betting list seem to have similar strength(except France vs. Canada) so it's not surprising that Croatia won against Portugal or Switzerland and Austria ended 1-1. At the end of the day, luck is still an important factor in sports betting and we shouldn't be emotionally attached to our wrong decisions.

Honestly, it is too hard to accept if we already assume to win because at the moment we fail, we really feel bad and disappointed and would raise our temper. A 5-time losing streak is not good but we can't blame other people for this nor the casino, we are just too unlucky not to get any favor. In this case, I would rather stop and pause for a while because this already tells something bad, and the more we push through, the more we lose. Chasing winning is just like we are chasing losses, that is why it is necessary to know how to control our emotions and a need to stop.

Five losing streak is common in casinos. There are times I would win continuously before I will lose and there are times that I will lose continuously in casino. This is different from when you are betting on sport matches. If you read what the OP posted, you will see that he is talking about sport and not casinos.

What I noticed about my friends and including myself, if you are not betting on virtual matches and in-play, you may select a match today and wait till tomorrow or more before you will select another matches. There is always a break. We may have different experiences on this but I think you are talking more about casinos and not sport.

That's true, even though there is a team that is strong, that doesn't mean they can't be beaten, or it doesn't mean they can win all the matches smoothly like you said. because anything can happen while it is taking place, what's more, betting does not completely depend on predictions and experience or even knowledge alone, but luck also plays a role in this. Even though betting like this requires knowledge and skill to do it, that doesn't mean that luck doesn't exist, luck is still there and will play its role, apart from that I think the OP himself has said the solution that must be taken when he experiences a losing streak.

In fact, it's not complicated what to do when you experience consecutive defeats, including only losing once. The solution is actually not complicated. as you said, taking a break to rest is what must be done because of course when the bet you make ends in defeat it will usually affect our thinking which triggers emotions, and of course the best choice is to stop and rest by resting our thoughts and situation to become calmer. and yes, don't ever try to recover losses that are almost impossible, miracles can happen with the bets made.

Whenever I have a losing streak I take it as a sign that I have been gambling too much and need to take a break. This break have been so very beneficial because it's kind of brings me back to reality of how much I have lost and how much I will lose if I continue to bet. It also seems as a time for rest and getting a new betting template for myself.

It's a fatal mistake if you lose five times in a row, this is really messy, 5/2 might still make sense if 5/0 if that happens it could frustrate me.
Yesterday I also placed an international friendly football bet between Portugal vs. Croatia I put the score 2 for Croatia at the end of the match ended 1-2 I succeeded for Croatia points, so did France vs. Canada I didn't put a score on both, I chose 0-0 I dealt with the loss based on the Netherlands vs. Canada match. Canada, for me the Netherlands are strong teams and if they meet France vs. Canada, I speculate that both teams are evenly matched.

During the match Switzerland vs. Austria I lost, because I put Austria score points 2, the end of the match 1-1, but it doesn't matter for me because I have a win of two matches meaning 3/1 two for me one for them.

My experience, in international friendly football matches to cover a loss, check their history during the match of both teams for example: Sweden vs. Serbia look at the final results of the two teams, before the bet is placed, you can judge during their tournament which one has the points and the chance of winning when both of them compete.

There are bad times and good times with gambling; you bear the bad times and enjoy the good times because you cannot be a perfect bettor. Accept the reality in gambling that you cannot always be a winner.

I usually stop betting for one or two weeks if I experience big losses. This is to ease up your pocket and stop the depression brought about by excessive and continuous losses.

It has a positive effect on my pocket and mind, and I also recommend it to those who experience losing streaks.

As a gambler, we make loss sometimes due to our luck or making wrong decisions. I don't think I have had such huge loss encounter before as I usually focus more on less than more bets so I can reduce my total loss while gambling. Well it's a normal thing that cannot be avoided for a gambler as not everytime you will see a green day. Some times might be red and during this period a responsible gambler would exist his gambling activities and come back another day. I do same when I make loss and avoid anything that would want to tempt me into returning to the game once more. I guess that's how I am able to handle my losses and reduce it during my gambling activities.

5x losing streak in sports betting is common for us because we are chasing victory with the favorite team but the results are not as expected this is normal but I feel where the same as your position feels upset because all the betting money is exhausted because the bet does not make any money.

I don't really focus on friendly matches the results will not be the same as what you said above, friendly matches have no value whatsoever that they pursue unless the competition is about to start like EURO then the game will be different again...

So it's better to wait for the competition matches, you should never expect friendly matches to be easy for us it's a little more difficult to analyze because some players don't seem to be serious.

In general, when I have bad luck, I don't feel like playing. There are times when betting less, leaving more time between sessions and doing it in a more relaxed way, things look better. If you lose again you think, 'fuck it, I won't play again'. But in the end, at some point you bet again and the tables turn.

The OP talks about sports betting but my experience is more in casinos.

each gambler may be different when faced with a losing streak, some act normally and think that it is common in gambling, some are stressed because they feel that it is unfair to them, and some even respond by gambling again with a bigger bet than the one they previously bet. so maybe people will respond differently to their losses, and i feel that you are one of the responsible gamblers because you respond to this wisely and stick to the plan that you have determined at the beginning. and responsible gamblers should be like that because they already understand the risks of gambling and are ready to accept whatever the results of their gambling.

I had a very unpleasant experience in slots, which left me with a negative experience.
Once I won 100 bonus dollars, and I could withdraw them from the casino, but I decided to play slots that I had never played. I'm sorry that I didn't remember what these slots were called, but there was something very similar to Skyrim: Vikings and dragons. I decided to make a game with huge stakes and put up $10 per spin.
And imagine that after 10 spins I didn't get anything! I have never won at least 1 dollar. It was extremely frustrating...

Never experienced a losing streak of up to that amount both in betting on World Cup qualifying matches and friendly matches because I rarely or almost never bet on multi bets.

We cannot deny that people often lose when betting on national team matches, especially on friendly matches.
Most of all I refrain from betting on qualifying rounds or friendlies played by national teams because it is difficult to guess considering the players in the squad of each national team are very different from the squad of the teams played in the league.

Maybe to overcome this, restrain yourself before official tournaments such as Euro, Copa America start.
If you can't help yourself, don't force yourself to bet on a multi bet.

How were you able to handle a losing streak up to 5 times and above? By doing stop although some people are gonna found this is very difficult because of emotion or addiction if you still have it. But the way I stopped after the losing streak was when I ran out of budget. Believe me bro I do chase losses couple times and I do gamble until my body shaking because losing streak and cant stop at the end I just do gamble till my balance is run dry take a deep breath and let it go

Having constant losses is not new in gambling. This is why it is important to always have a gambling budget based on our financial standing. This will help gamblers to control these losses and it will not affect them financially. For me, I have a gambling budget which guides and helps me to control my losses. There were times when I didn't have a single win for over two to three weeks but it has not affected me negatively. Gambling should be seen as fun this is why losses shouldn't be an impediment to enjoying gambling. Gambling is unpredictable so having the mentality that you will always win is wrong. Therefore there is a need to prepare for rainy days because it will surely come.

Yes, I had a similar experience. I lost some matches that I was confident in. I can’t say that you can be sure of anything in gambling, but there are games in which the probability of winning is much greater, the coefficient there is not large, but because of the high probability, I sometimes bet on such events. So, several of my bets did not go through and I decided to take a break. I think that when the result does not live up to your expectations, you need to take a break so that under the influence of emotions you do not make mistakes and start winning back your losses, which will most likely lead to even greater losses

You can't predict games, don't be surprised that some of the top countries with high performance and are still actively in form could be kicked out by a small one, the worst of it now is that such country too will later be knock out of the game, when it comes to games and predictions, anything can happen, even though we have the most assurance of a team against the other, there will be a time they may just have to proof us wrong and disappoint by missing on a slight opportunity.

Stop playing for a while or reduce the bet amount so that you dont focus on chasing the previous losses, thats what I usually do after a losing streak on sports.
Anyway, always betting on favorites in the international friendly matches is not wise, the favorites will not always win even when playing against a weak teams. Moreover, the Euro are only a few days away and every player will not play seriously to avoid injury

I think losing 5 consecutive bets is pretty common in sports betting. What makes your case different is that it was 5 single games on various days, that rare. It's rare because it's difficult not to get at least 1 out of 5 predictions correct when the option is just between who wins and who loses. ;D

If I should go to my sports betting history, before every win there are at least 4-6 losses, sometimes there are more, except periods when I'm on my lucky charm and I get 3 straight wins, but since a single win covers all the losses, I don't feel it that much.
Gambling is a risky venture and it would always be wise to gamble within our means and gamble with what we can afford to lose.

It has happens to me ones and it looks so terrifying that I was scared to gamble again, although I didn't lose my whole money on the gamble, I only risk what I could afford. When you check your bet and you see them one red color (from 1 till the end). One would always feel bad when he sees his game like that but one shouldn't panic because that's nature of gamble and we don't have to put our hope on the game we staked on.

I am able to handle big losing streaks with lots of booze and weed.  Kidding, kinda..but I think you make a good point when you mention sticking to the plan.  That's the most important rule in gambling if you ask me.  It's when you deviate from the plan that can get you in to serious trouble.  Having a set budget, is essential.  I've seen so many of my buddies go to the Casinos, plan to spend say $1,000, and then end up going to the ATM and blowing thousands more.  Not so smart.

I have come to accept losing is part of the game and we can't always be on the winning side, and whenever I experience a losing streak of more than 5games then I know that day isn't going my way... Though sometimes with some stubbornness I do turn a losing run into a winning run and comeback profitable and close the day without pushing my luck too much.

I was in tears laughing not until I saw the kidding otherwise you got me here lol ;D

And talking of plans, with gambling things don't always go according to plan and we should be ready for bad day's and accept the outcome sometimes..

I'm not really sure how it feels when it comes to losing streak at sports betting because I do not place sports bet really often, maybe only once/twice a week.
Losing streak is common thing, it is even possible to happen with high winning chance such as 1.1x-1.5x
What I usually do when I experience losing streak (casino games) I stop playing or move to other games in case I still have some balance left.
In case I have no more balance, I stop and take rest for days before I come back to play the game again.

Usually when I experience a losing streak, even every time I play it, the game is a slot game. but that doesn't mean I've never experienced the same thing in sports betting, in my theory and dictionary it means I'm in an unlucky phase and very unlucky. the thing is, going on that losing streak in sports really sucks. Every match I predicted failed to match expectations. I am the type who always prioritizes single bets, with a banroll that suits me when making bets. However, there are always bad days that I think we must have experienced the same thing. This can happen in cycles, but not in the context of every time you bet on sports.

Based on experience after experience, there are steps that I need to take and learn from experiences like this. that's why, in my betting theory, I minimize choosing the number of matches. only some of which I have followed and researched before. if the fight is not worth it, in theory I refer to the odds. I don't hesitate not to bet. referring to your bet, well that's why I don't bet. because, for me, it is quite difficult to predict these matches. The reason is, international friendly matches, World Cup qualifiers, are not as easy as analyzing league matches. This affects me personally, because for me the probability is uncertain. However, it is different during World Cup matches or international matches that have entered the group phase. Even then, it is more ideal to bet on the handicap or Under/Over options. referring to your question, how can I manage it. The answer is, I don't gamble.

When it comes to sport betting I rarely place bets on a single game - I usually go for parlays that way I would be able to use little money to bet on games that has the potential to give me high returns rather than to stake on them individually and then risk more. In terms of parlays, I have several tickets that lost with just one and some that has numerous games that cut it.

I’m not a consistent sport bettor so I haven’t experFenced a straight five lists but when you come to slots - I have lost more than amount in a straight game and I never felt anything because I knew right from the start that something like that is possible so me trying to console myself by being frustrated with the outcome seems like a foolish thing to do.

Lose streak cannot be avoided. Whenever I'm in such situation, I just accept things. We don't have full control of our bets in the first place. As we all know, pushing positive outcomes won't cause you good. It would be much better to let things be and try the next day if you would still want to. Some are even losing for long but are still continuing things; that is simply the concept of gambling which is to test your luck but always keep in mind to manage the risk and your bets of course.
Moving to other games is the coping mechanism of other gamblers because they believe thaat in such way, their luck would be calibrated but that's just not how things work in gambling. Luck will just come out of nowhere but either way, pushing your luck too much won't be a good idea. Always be mindful of securing things; if you're in profit then keep a percentage of it. If you're in loss, take a rest and wait for another chances to knock.

When we are defeated in a row, we should never think that it means that we will win, because it is all just a prediction where it is not necessarily proven to be true and we are sure that the predictions we imagine are correct, when we are defeated in a row, the thing that must be What we do is close gambling and leave it for a while, then continue tomorrow because today no luck has come our way.

Because when we are defeated in a row like that, it means that victory has not yet come to us, don't ever want to continue losing as a result of being defeated in a row, we have to learn more deeply about tricks and how they work, don't be sure that something uncertain will happen, because Later, we will be depressed because we never feel the benefits, but instead we experience continuous losses.

You are lucky to have your losing streak stop at 5, with the kind of games that you selected, you have low chance of winning and this isn't because it was dominated by players or not balance, it's because Euro Championship isn't the kind of regular season we are used to, not some players you expect are called for playing and you don't even know how dominant some players are after the main season in their club, this is why I don't bother myself to play off season games.

Any game that is not September to June, I don't bet my money on them because I know for sure I'm going to lose, there is now way Argentina of 2022-2023 will be the same for that of 2024, there is going to be some changes. The only time I think is okay to bet off season games is when they approached quater final that's when you begin to predict some characters of some players and teams but make sure you don't bet on straight wins, over or under are easy to predict.

Firstly, I haven't had this experience in this particular way of singling each game and betting on them up to five different games. I have staked on single game but not more than two at a time. Five for me is much.

No matter the current form of a team involved or the odd size no bet prediction is sure, and that's why we have to take calculated risk with every bet not to go above the usual standard you have for long using which has been profitable with less losses incurred. Though losing is  an unavoidable aspect of gambling which we all must experience, we must in that light learn to manage our losses not to overwhelm our balance.

I was fucken shocked when I was checking the resultsIn fact, the France vs. Canada game that ended on 0-0 was my most believed match to have been in the money, I'm still trying to imagine how I did choose those games that I was this unlucky, I wasn't expecting to win all the slips either, but at least was hoping to have won like 2-3 out of the 5 games, this tells me that predicting the international football is quite very different from the club football because I didn't change strategy to talk of.

The lesson is not about risk management, it's not about sticking to a plan, and for bad days, we all have them and they will definitely happen. I've been a gambler on sportsbooks since I was in high school, I've gone through a lot of betting on matches, but in your case, I've also experienced it, and what lessons can I take? That's one, it's about don't bet on qualifying matches that have no vision & also friendly, national or club matches.

I have experienced a losing streak before and it wasn't a funny experience. As young and naive as i was then, i had no control over my gambling habit and it made me lose even more, but now i know better and i even wish i knew what i know now then. I must say you are an experienced and disciplined gambler to still stick to the plan instead of gambling more to cover up your losses as many others would do. Many people who chase losses fail to understand that winning after a long period of chasing losses does not in most cases cover up the losses suffered so far, all these gamblers are interested in are just wins.

Self control is a very important virtue every gambler should possess because it will help them take care of whatever comes their way while they gamble and even after gambling.

I had similar experience a few months ago but the losing steak I had was just 2 instead of 5. I had lost because I favor one team over others and that was a very big mistake.

The team lost matches against much weaker teams and I was astonished by seeing it losing against weaker teams, but that happens sometimes and after that I placed my bets carefully with good researching than favoring one team over others.

You had a tough time OP and I can feel that how you might have handed the sad moments when you consistently lost 5 bets in row in sports betting. I suggest you to be careful next time and never to use Martin gale strategy in such scenario.

One of them main things that proves out that there's no such thing about assurance in speaking about sure win or something that do talks about 100% winning no matter how sure or best analysis that you could have on a certain game. There would really be no guarantees and there would really be no precision despite of that kind of confidence when it comes into your selection. This is why it would really be that relevant or something crucial in speaking about control and discipline towards self specially at the moment that you would really be experiencing losing streaks. 5x wont really be that something that too long since there
would really be those moments that it could really be that even more.This is why control and moderation would really be that relevant into this time.

Emotions and that impulsiveness will really be your main enemy on here on which at the time or moment that you would be finding yourself on such situation then you should really be that sensible
on the actions that you are making. Dont let your emotion comes into your head because if you do then you would really be ending up on making bad decisions because you have influenced yourself
on having that kind of emotions basing up with your next decisions on which this is something that you should avoid.

Losing a game while gambling is very common, and likewise losing it 5 times at a stretch, but yet that alone is never a reason to quit gambling, despite the fact you may have lost a reasonable amount of money, which is why we always tell people to gamble what they can always afford to lose, as when such happens, it serves as a sign for one to revisit your betting strategy once again. However, I have experience this kind of scenario before while betting on either "Home or Away" team to win, and after that, what I did was that I changed my style of betting to start staking on "Over2.5 or Under 2.5" and "Double chances (i.e 1x, 12, 2x), and though the odds are not always big, but yet most times I do have a high chance possibility of winning.

5 times? Amateur!
I managed to lose 12 bets in a row at Ascot and I think that I did it even worse two years ago at Cheltenham, I know for sure I had at least 6 favorites lose in one day and most of them were under 3:1 odds.

The thing is if you're not prepared to lose 5 times in a row then you treat gambling ina way you shouldn't and sooner or later it will come to bite you in the ass pretty hard!

That scenario is in sport betting and of course it is easy to handle compared to being massacred by slot machines and in the true meaning of the way,I am not saying for some metaphor here or to sound fancy,that is what happened to me lately in Stake casino,I have had more than 15 consecutive lost buy bonuses which is never supposed to happen or at least some years before it did not happen,maximum amount of lost buy bonus in Pragmatic slots was like 6-7 and even that was really a huge one.What I want to point out is that things have changed and casinos have become brutally greedy and I wonder why we gamblers continue to play,personally I quit forever now to play in such casinos,they are the best place if you want your deposits to vanish in less than 30 minutes!

As for football I can understand your frustration yet you know that by betting with some knowledge will net you a win,it is different and it is the only game worth playing in betting now as you have better control of your money and bad luck cannot happen forever in sport betting like it is common occurrence in slot machines,so the real lesson is always quit slots.

Hey, tough break with those recent losses! Been there. Best advice? Stick to your budget, manage risk, and don't chase losses. Learn from it and move forward.

Planning properly will makes you to become a good gambler as if you're not planning on how you stake your money, you might gamble away all your profit just as you experienced. This is a mistake that every gambler can make therefore do not think that your gambling paths are over but dust yourself up and plan how you're going to be more focused from now on and you might turn this sad experience around and make more profits when you gamble more in the future.

Losing five times isn't a big deal as I have lost more than that before, I have once places a bet on 10 different teams and lost all. The bet didn't go as I expected were those games that ended the way I expected still had extra times added to the game and the team that I predicted to win, won in the extra time therefore my bet didn't go through. When we lose when gambling, we just have to learn our mistakes and try again as we can't just give up hopes on potential victory.

Most gamblers lose even more than just five times; that is why I was shocked too, seeing the OP talk about just five times. If it is a fixed matrix that every gambler must win within five bets, then we could have called gambling a reliable source of income.

If you feel that you have lost too much gambling consecutively and that it is now becoming a problem, then take a break. If you can take a break, it is a good sign that you are not addicted. If you are unable to take a break from gambling after losing for so long and know that it is now posing a big financial problem to you, then that is an indication of chronic addiction, and you need professional help.

Losing is not unusual, there are gamblers who experienced much worse than 5 times losing streak. I also had such experience but not in sports betting but more on live table games.

It's really frustrating especially if you're hoping to somehow win but keep in mind that's gambling. Losing is inevitable sometimes and you need luck to win regardless of you're playing on casino games or sports bet. Thus, only use a spare money so it won't hurt you much incase you didn't manage to win.

It's sad to know someone loses 5x in a row in a gambling game.
If you lose, you should evaluate first, the first defeat may be an indication that anyone has to re-evaluate.
But when you have lost 5x in a row, that's a bad thing.

One must have a strategy so that such ridiculous things do not happen.
I will only stop when I get 1 defeat because mentally I will not be able to continue losing.
Those who even go through 5 defeats are too addicted and continue to believe that they will win and win, but in fact, they always lose.

Losing is always part of your gambling activities. I don't think anyone is immune to losses. We may incur losses from time to time, but if you are only using your extra money, it won't be very hard for you to move on. This is how I can cope up with my losses. Before I start my game, I already know how much is my max amount that I can allow for my losses. If I already reach such amount, it means, I need to stop no matter what. I understand, from time to time, you may go beyond your set limit, but if you can still manage to stop, you won't go home so broke with your pocket.

Since I love betting on football, if I lose my bets, I sometimes don't get upset because I didn't win the match. My annoyance mostly comes from the poor performance of a team that I know has the capacity to do very well but ended up disappointing me because of their poor performance.Although I feel sad sometimes that I didn't win, I usually get upset at the team's poor performance while they are in a better position. 

While gambling, I don't stake a huge amount that will cause me psychological trouble if I lose, but I do stake just a little amount that I can afford to not lose, so even if I lose five straight, I don't feel bad for losing the money because I only and mostly stake a small amount. I only feel annoyed by the poor team performance. I can stake a huge amount too sometimes, but it's on rare games. 

While gambling on casino games too, I only stake a small amount, like $0.1 to $1, so that if I lose the money, it will not affect me in any way. Last week, I lost more than five times while playing. In gambling, losing is continuous; the gambler just has to prepare for it. 

If I lose many times in gambling, I don't think it causes any problem for me, there's no how I handle it, if not to allow it slid.

Is a normal case scenario, people win and lose in a daily basis, losing streak up to 5 times is not a good reason to be tired or thinking otherwise, gambling is a game of luck as I usually say, sometimes people may even gamble for a whole month or 2months but no wining, yet they keep on trying till they achieve the Target. Sometimes I will bet games predicted by me and also from my friends, my ticket will all be green ✅ but I will always have ❌ 1 or 2 in all tickets. Though it is difficult to bear the pain of lost more often than win, but we move on. My slogan is that "Life is game, is either we win or lose" we should just gamble what we can afford to lose sothat we don't feel it that much when we lose more frequent than win.

If you gambling with the money you can afford to lose, you will not have a problem if you lose. You will limits your lose so the lose will not becomes too big. But many people will not thinks about their lose instead will trying to recovers their lose.

In gambling, you must know how much money you will use so you can manage the risk. If you lose, you will not trying to spends more money, especially if you already lose for some money. You knows how to use gambling for entertainment.

I don't have to wait for 5 times to stops gambling because lose for 5 times is something for me. I will immediately stops gambling and leave the casino to prevents the temptation.

But it usually does happen, and I think gamblers here who have been in the game for so long could have experience it already. I know it's going to be very hard to recover from that mentally, even if you say that you can afford to lose, the psychology of gamblers losing a game is incomprehensible. So there could be gamblers who are willing to continue even if they have suffered consecutive losses.

As for me, just stop for a while, then a breather and come back strong in the next couple of days. And usually it's a great strategy for me as I did it the last time and then I rested like 5-7 days and when I played my favorite slots again, I have a 2 day winning streak, but yesterday was different, lose a small amount but I was able to bring back my self-control not to deposit anymore and just enjoy my winnings the previous day.

This isn't a matter of being Amateur or not, or Losing 5 times isn't the message I'm trying to convey here, rather the fact that despite these consecutive loses I didn't try scale up my betting amount, and I didn't allow my emotions to ruined me to try to twist my game plan, because I had a game plan in place, Too ,base on the strategy I use, I haven’t had 5 loses in a row, Therefore, we can't have same experience, we need you to share how you were able to control yours the first time you hit such a consecutive loses.

Now this is me, I pegged mine loses at 5 and I call it a day, let's say yours  is 8, 10, 12, how are you able to control it when it happened? This is a question for others to learn from, So we aren't here to drag who is more experience or not, rather we want to learn how you handle it because there are a lot of newbies in the gambling space that wants to learn from your experiences.

Odds sometimes are helpful on which team we decide to bet but still, it is not our only basis for doing it. I was a victim of this strategy before until I realized that it was wrong and made another betting style. I usually put my bet on lower odds but to find out that it never works all the time. I'm not sure if there is a winning pattern in betting but sometimes I'd notice that once high odds win, some of the game that has higher odds will also win. That is why I don't rush on betting but to do some observation as well. Still, this never ensures winning but at least I feel to have a huge chance of winning rather than suffering 5 losing streak. I'd rather pause for a while in case it happens.

I have never experienced such a losing streak in a single bet as far as I remember, because usually I would immediately place a multi bet if I wanted to bet on many matches.
Apart from what you mentioned, betting on friendly matches is not very convincing because you can see how Brazil only drew against the USA even though they often win when facing the USA or also England who narrowly lost to Iceland and this is a surprising result I'm sure because England will get low odds bettors will choose other bets, for example over but not a single goal can be scored by England, but because the league is on break sometimes we don't want to stop so we choose friendly or qualifying matches, and to be honest this is a match that I don't really follow and waiting for the European Cup in a few days is better.

I have heard such experience before and the only thing necessary to do is to go for a break because your emotions has been detorated and you might have negative feeling towards gambling and might overly gamble beyond your original plans, but anyone considering gambling as a game Will not be completely feel bad, you need to have some break and calm your emotions just as the saying that he who fight and run away lives to fight another day. In as much as gambling is a game of luck but one also need to make whatever options that you think is the best and Wait for the outcome which could either be win or lose, and at some point one don't need to gamble when your emotions towards gambling at a point in time is not completely convinced to do that because their  are time we gamble even when are no much games options to play.

Just be disciplined and believe that a losing streak will happen, so you'll be prepared for it. If we know it's going to happen, we can create a strategy to handle it. Since sports betting should be approached with a long-term perspective if we want to be profitable, it's crucial to set up a decent bankroll intended for such situations. Some gamblers get frustrated when they experience a long losing streak because they have unrealistic expectations. We should avoid that mindset, understanding that gambling involves long streaks, whether winning or losing. Our goal is to be profitable based on our overall performance.

The key to achieving this is discipline in managing your bankroll. This will help you stay in the game longer and accept a losing streak without panicking. Also, never chase your losses—that's another important principle.

I think most users here don't place that many bets, when you play one-two times a week then the possibility of a 5 streak loss is also lower, you only place 100 bets a year, if you play like 10 times a day then you have ore than 3000 bets, pretty easy to find a 5 consecutive streak in it!


So if you get on a lost bet you stop playing? How does it even work?


It's not about strategy you just got lucky!
It's gambling, it's not science it's not math, it's a random process, and even your own experience shows, it, to this date you haven't had 5 consecutive losses, but that still happened once, just as if you continue on playing at one point you will experience a 6th loss.
It's impossible to develop a strategy to not lose more than 5 times, otherwise somebody would just copy your bets and play Martingale on them and win forever.

Well, that's true; everything you have said is true and needs to be implemented in order to minimise the losses and avoid losing too much money, but I admit it can't be helped. I used to be or experienced being a gambling addict and exceeding my limits, and after that, I became more disciplined and learned how to control myself from overspending on gambling. But I admit that sometimes I still can't fight the urge to gamble more even though I have lost my allocated budget. But we are just humans, so sometimes it can't be helped, but it only happens once in a while because I also limit my gambling activities because I'm doing something else other than gambling. That's my way of diverting my attention to other things. So it's not bad to sometimes be overboard with your limit, but keep in mind that you should be ready for the consequences of your action and you should know how to fix your mess.

Agree! and just like in a normal games out there, if we experience multiple losses in just 1 session then I suggest to stop, breathe and think carefully. Continuing placing a bet is not advisable unless you still have extra funds in your bank roll but it's not okay to used it all in just one seat. Having a self discipline is a must, it is the major key for us to prevent massive losses in every gambling sessions that we take. There are times that we experience "rough times" and if that day happen, I hope everyone here knows what to do. Be a responsible and attentive gambler.

Five times in a row must be disheartening. I haven't had a similar losing streak in sports betting; in regular casino games, though, I've had my fair share of losses. The majority of which were minor bets, so it wasn't that big of a deal; it's part of the game; however, the one that annoyed me the most was on Bustabit. It was approximately two years ago, possibly even more; I can't remember exactly, and it was my last mBits on the account. My strategy of trying to play it safe and redeeming at 1.10x wasn't too profitable or safer than waiting for greater multipliers. I lost all my balance in three games, all of which crashed at extremely low multipliers, such as 1.05x or even lower.

I was so annoyed that I quit and never returned to that game.

It's difficult to manage five or more bet and research for each match to finds the team that can wins. But if we are sure that we knows the right teams, we can directly place the bet and not thinks much about the bet. That's what I do and I never thinks much about my bet because when I place a bet, I just bet on the match by selecting the team and let it go. One thing that I will make sures is I place the money that I can affords so if I lose, I will knows how much money I lost in every bets.

I experienced lose all of my bet and I can accept that because I knows that in gambling, I can lose anytime and that can cause my money is gone. I don't thinks to recovers my lost money by place another bet but I just quit gambling for some days and do other things that can helps me to forgets my lose before. You just needs to knows about how much money you can affords to gambling so you will not lose much money and can accept the lose. No matter about how many bets you place, you can accept the lose that you gets later.

I've not been an active sports bettor for a long time, but when I used to make bets, I don't remember hitting a long streak as big as 5 because I used to make calculated bets only which means that in games where I would know there will be a lot of competition since both sides are strong and the unexpected might happen, I would skip such matches often and only make bets where I used to know I can get a win because at the end of the day, your target is to win, right?

However, if I was in your position and if I had a loss streak of 5, I would probably stop right there, maybe try gambling games if I wanted to gamble sometime, or maybe try another sport that I had a little bit knowledge about such as Tennis or something. That would give me some time to refresh and come back stronger.

Losing streak can be very common in the gambling world and tend to happen to most of us which is completely normal as u can never win non-stop, we should always keep the possibility of losing in our heads.

I remember few months ago I had similar experience as I was gambling on this one particular online casino, I was betting with little money to be honest but I noticed how I kept losing everytime I bet on two slots I kept losing and losing and it missed me off sincerely because how couldn't I win not even once I was losing for multiple times to a point where I decided to block my account on that casino for six months just to stop myself from chasing those losses because I knew that it can't take me anywhere. Now after few months I recall what I did and I personally consider it wise from me because I could have done something terrible if I kept gambling there, it was the best option for me in order to manage myself.

Well well, I've had even a longer and worser losing streak in the past, losing streak up to 15 games in a roll without a single winning, though this was while playing a Slot game, and based on my personal experience, it's possible for a person to have up to 20, 30 losing streak while playing a Slot or casino games and he or she won't really feel it, most especially is the person is betting the minimum amount of bet on each of the games, though having such a long losing streak is really rare.

Coming back to sports betting, I think I've had up to 10 losing streak one time like that, it was funny though, i was betting on parleys as well as single games, I kept losing on both, and up to the tenth time, this was like up to more than two weeks if I still remember correctly, that made me feel like shit really, but then, I just took a break from gambling for a while, and by the time I started again, i had completly forgotten of that terrible experience of losing over and over again up to the tenth time.

Sometimes what we expect is not what we bet on because friendly matches are more about entertainment than real competition, what do I do and not want to do?
Rarely bet on national team matches that conduct trial matches.
Will not bet again on pre-season tour matches sometimes also miss in this match even though the odds are small.
Now that the Euros are about to start and the Coppa America, it will be more interesting for betting.

Sounds like you are just gambling in paper not in real bets since having a bad day with losing streak in gambling is unavoidable no matter what calculated bets you are using since it’s still gambling unless you are placing 1 bets every week then it’s really hard to get that kind of losing streak.

Your comment is a text book must do guide but it’s very hard to apply it in reality since the result on sports always have variance that affects the games like underdog unexpectedly beat the top teams or star players injured during the game that cause a huge impact to the outcome.

That's why it's important that we allocate an amount of money to gambling that we can afford, and when allocating money to gambling, it's probably better to consider it lost and never hope to recover the money we've lost in gambling because it could have fatal consequences in the future. Losses can still be minimized by doing it in moderation, but defeat cannot be avoided because it has become a condition that will occur more often than winning. However, with large losses, of course it can be minimized by taking the next steps ourselves. If we cannot limit the actions we take, large losses will occur, the same as losses that are certain to occur.

The impact that will occur depends on us allocating money to gambling. Apart from that, our assumptions and perceptions determine what will happen in the future. If we think we can recover the losses that have occurred then losing more money can occur. By wanting to recover the losses that have occurred, it can make we put in more money where the goal is to recover losses but the winnings are not certain to be obtained. When gambling has ended in defeat then what you have to do is stop gambling by not risking any money back whatever the reason, it is better to stop and go to rest. Apart from resting physically, of course your mind also needs to be rested, so the thing you have to do when you experience defeat is to stop, especially when you experience consecutive defeats.

Yes, this is a pretty common experience in gambling games. When I faced long loss streaks I just played until the end, that is, until the last penny, through Martingale strategy, in an attempt to recover the previous losses and still finish the gambling session in profit. Through this strategy all you need is one winning to recover from all your losses and still make some profit. If you lost 5 times in a row, maybe the 6th will allow you to recover yourself.

That is the idea, although you can't rely on this plan on practice aiming long term favourable results. At least, that is what I was used to do, as I considered I didn't have greater alternatives besides that, anyway.

A wise man once told me "When everything is going against you in your life don't hesitate to take a break", and I guess that could be applied here too because you don't have any control over the game you bet and all you can do is to analysis and predict based on the stats or odds or any method that usually works for you. If losing continuously bothers too much, I would pause and make myself not pressured by the incidents in any way.

You should know the risk you are signing for my friend before you click the submit button. Mind you, the higher the odds, the higher the possibility that you are making a tough choice. This is why I like to limit my sports betting odds to within 2+. It could be anywhere between 2.0 and 2.9. I can't remember going higher than that to tell you how careful I am.

Besides, it would have been nicer if you added the odds to those tickets for us to know.

Contrary to your claim, though the result is unfortunate, I do not see many lessons to learn here because you were somewhat careful and did not risk aggressively. First, your betting is independent of each other which means you did well, and secondly, I do not think your risk is higher than necessary since you did not add the wagering amount. Nevertheless, the tone used is not a risky one, this is good as far as I am concerned. The fact that you lost them shouldn't make you blame your approach.

I also do not see you deviating from your plan, did you? Unless I can't extract it from what you wrote here.

I bet independently like you but I have never experienced a thing like this. At worst, maybe 2/5 of the games which is even rare.

And because of this, it is important for gamblers to have self-control so that they can be calmer when facing a losing streak. Just imagine if it was a novice gambler, maybe he would immediately scream in his room and cry about the money he lost, because from the start he gambled money he couldn't afford to lose - he gambled money thinking that it would be very easy for him to win. Gamblers must be able to have good risk management and understand their abilities, so that when they face an annoying situation like this, they understand it better and don't rush into making decisions that they can regret even more.

A losing streak of five is even smaller to the ones I have lost.I have lost more than twenty streaks in football gambling,but I still didn't give up, because I already know that two things are involved in gambling,it's either you lose or you win. so if I'm not on a winning streak,I will be on a losing streak.Although,the period of time I was losing like that,I really felt bad and was always weak,but I didn't give up,I still have that feelings in me that I will win big someday,and that is what's keeping me.So many persons are losing on a daily,but they won't say it to anyone, because they already made up their kind about losing,that it's normal.

OP had a bad run and this is not uncommon, the only thing is that the loss might be big enough not be able to recover it in the next few weeks.

That is the thing with sports betting, you can make a prediction based on past performances of teams but luck factor can ruin your entire betslip and this is a prime example of that. On the other hand I have seen parleys done with multiple wins and that total profit was way higher than the bet.

Hope the OP makes some of it back soon.

That's the most I've ever lost, I've only lost 7 in a row and you did it 20 times, that's heartbreaking with that many, how did you feel at that time did you feel like a loser or like your world ended when you accepted the fact that you had that many losing streaks, before you believed that you would get a big win someday?
Sometimes positive thinking that I will get a win today when I have lost a few times will lead to the wrong use of money because we are too ambitious and believe, and that we should avoid or we will get the next defeat. should when you have lost until you run out of deposit money can stop at that time because if you continue our mentality has been influenced.

That’s just the reason why I do encourage gamblers not to go beyond their limit when gambling because anything can happen. No matter how sure you are about the bet you are about to place, make sure you don’t exceed your limit. You shouldn’t be too confident when gambling, because anything can happen. Just imagine you gambled with all the money you have, since you are confident that you are going to win the bet, and things changed, how will you be able to get money to keep on gambling? But if you plan yourself, even if things don’t go well, you will still be able to gamble.

What do you expect? No gambler gambles with the intention of losing. He knew what was at stake and went for it, if the results were good,  we would have been applauding his bravery if it was actually a winning streak. What makes these losses from losing streaks hurt so much is the high expectations these gamblers often have while placing the bets. I have experienced it before and it left me broken because I expected more from it but now I place limits on what i gamble on. Anyone who cannot handle a losing streak should not bother going for what he cannot handle. One major cause of problems for gamblers is high expectations.

Two to three consecutive losses are more than enough to stop me from gambling activities for a while. When I lose more than twice, I think that luck is not on my side, and if I choose to continue playing it will only increase the losses I experience.

And indeed the best way to stop a losing streak is not by making a deposit and betting even bigger, but by withdrawing from gambling. Because real victory in gambling is not about how big a win you achieve, and how capable you are of recovering the losses you experience, but rather how capable you are of controlling the gambling itself.

Never act stupidly by continuing to make deposits and bets when luck is not on your side, because this will only lose all the money you have. In gambling, losing is a certainty, while winning is only a possibility, and we all have to be aware of that.

On the moment that you would really be having those high expectations then you would really be ending up on making yourself that being impulsive towards your gambling activity or on how much you do spend into gambling
just because you would really be trying out to make it happen on being profitable or making money with it. On the moment or time that you would be experiencing those losing streaks then this is where desperation would really be kicking in on trying out to chase those loses and tending to break even or trying to cope up with a huge win just to cover all the loses that you have obtained. This is why this industry is really that too profitable just because gamblers are really having this kind of approach on which this is really that an endless cycle on which it causes up for this business to be that profitable.

On the moment that im experiencing 5 consecutive loses or more then its something which is really that too small when dealing up with casino games on which you could experience 15 or more specially on dice.
Using up martingale method or any similar thing wont really be able to changed up the condition but rather it would really be making things even more worst. This is why it is really that important that on the moment
that you are dealing up with gambling then you should anticipate that loses would be there and only spend on the money or amount that you can afford to lose and never ever make yourself
that delusional if you dont like on messing up your life with because of gambling.

Come on! losing is normal in betting, even @1.01x you will lose, at some point,  and having five losses in a row worries you,(!?)... in reality you have a bad approach to how to bet, sometimes I have the feeling that People really roll dice with sports betting, therefore, question : on a dice, how likely is a number to come up?

For me making wrong predictions is part of the game because I know it's not realistic to expect winning all the time.

How often you win is entirely dependent on the odds. For instance since I opt to bet on plarlay slips with the aim of achieving high multipliers, I know that I'll keep losing literally all the time. When you predict multiple matches, especially on a parlay slip, just one wrong prediction cancels your entire payout.

But if you just bet on a few sport matches and don't predict them right, it's also normal. If you count it on the fact that there's 3 possible outcomes, to lose 1/3 chances a few times in a row is a quite likely possibility. I wouldn't be too disappointed. Provided there won't be that much money to consider it a devastating event. Gambling responsibly is a whole other topic but it's important to consider it in case such things happen.

First of all, honestly, I will be seriously stressed.
Of course, who wouldn't be stressed if they experienced a losing streak like that, even more than 5x? And maybe this will become an addiction if it happens 5 times in a row. So, it would be much better to rest first, take a break until your mind is really strong and fresh again. Because if forced to do it, I'm not sure the results will be good. It's like only in the movies when you see extraordinary success after repeated defeats but remain calm. Ha ha ha

Personally, I still prioritize sanity of mind and body, so usually if I have lost 3 times, I would be better off stopping and leaving it for a few days. until I'm really ready and have more free capital to do it. because if I continue to follow my desire to gamble, it will be much easier to fall into gambling addiction and this will become worse and worse.

Yes, I will stop for a moment because I am mentally weak in gambling,
When I lose in gambling I pause to calm my mind and mentality so as not to go too far to make bets or some games.

I was really scrutinized and thought about what next step I should take, not to make bets or games with an unspecified amount.

It may seem very skeptical, but this is what happened to me and everything I thought about so as not to lose too much in gambling because I also consider gambling only as entertainment with the allocation that I have determined to be as minimal as possible.

Normally, the best thing for anyone to do when ever they are no longer comfortable with the amount or number of loses they've encountered while gambling; is to stop playing and maybe come back again the next day, or better still, try another game.

There is this saying that most gamblers often give up playing while they are very close to hitting a major win, personally, I don't know exactly how true that believe or statement is, but one thing I do know is that sometimes, those who because of statements as that, force themself to keep playing when they should have taken a break, often times end up with so much regret as a result of how much they end up losing.

But then on the hand, this is not to say that some gamblers don't get really lucky, some actually end up winning amounts they never expended just after theyve thought of to stop playing, but yet continued some how.

Every gambler have their lucky times and Days, so is their loosing day's Also known as their rainy days too aswell, gambling isn't such that you have to compulsory win all the times, we only win the times when we are lucky regardless of how much we feel to think that it was because of how well we were able to really perform but pretty much, we get to see in the long term that we can be really right about a team and the team fails to meet up with expectations on the pitch and I find that even more disappointing than the regular ones where by we had almost no expectations on them, so there are no certainties with things as this whenever they get to happen as they are not pretty much under our control.

Looking at the games you chose, even though they were games involving strong teams with a good squad against moderate and weak teams with an average squad, most of the games you chose were friendly matches, and in friendly matches even when the teams good teams put all their best players on, even so in these games you tend to see surprises, just see for example at the home of the French national team who haven't done well in friendly games even when they play with all their good players, but if you look at France Playing in a serious competition, you will see yourself beating the same team that they lost to in the friendly game. Looking at Egypt's game against Guinea-Bissau, which was a serious game, because it was a qualifying game for the World Cup, it was a game in which Guinea-Bissau had a lot of draws and Egypt only has Salah as good internationally famous player, so I wasn't surprised by this draw. I would say that this sequence of defeats you had is something normal

Obviously i quit gambling. Why should i continue when i have noticed that the day is not a lucky day for me. However, since there are various ways people who react to a situation like this is till feel the right thing is to quit it will save us from the level of emotional trauma, amount of loss and stop us from being irresponsible in gambling.

Correctly spoken. Not increasing the amount of stake on a single bet. There are games our friend might bring to us claiming it is sure bet and that we should use a substantial amount to bet it. But we shouldn't use all our money on it. At least using money we can afford to lose if the game get loss whether big or small.

My solution is the same as the others, take a break until I find a better match to bet on or force my way through the bad luck while betting smaller amounts. There are days when a regular losing streak won't be enough to stop me from betting because it still depends on how you spend your bankroll and sometimes you only need a few winning bets to bring yourself back in the same starting position. If I get the urge to go above my max bet, I always try to remind myself that it's not a race about recovering my losses and focus more on prolonging my bankroll.

Yes, of course everyone will say that because if we continue to force ourselves to continue gambling we will certainly experience the same defeat again and this requires us to be able to control the gambling we do and don't let us play a game uncontrollably and after it ends the funds we bring only regret the things we do in the bets we play, indeed this is very difficult to do but we must be able to limit the bets we play and I agree with you in gambling and we are encouraged to bet bigger we must We can remind ourselves to be able to place bets in calm conditions and not when we are running a race. Of course, this will be better for preserving the funds we have so as not to use more of it in betting.

You ask how do I overcome a losing streak of up to 5 times? usually I stop gambling for a while because the losing streak makes me a little annoyed because I didn't win one of my predictions, I think this has become a normal thing because sometimes matches are quite difficult to predict, especially if it's a world cup or friendly match, we can only rely on luck in our favor because to win in a match like that we cannot guess for sure even though the odds are lower.

Losing in a row in matches like this is a normal thing and we have to be able to accept it even though it is a little annoying and stop for a while so that your emotions can be controlled, so that you don't let your frustration out on betting again which ultimately makes you lose again, when you predict gambling. When you still feel irritated, usually your prediction will end badly, it's better to think clearly in predicting the match and calm yourself before starting gambling again.

For some people, such a streak of bad luck can turn out for the better. Someone determines that it is not his place to bet if luck and his predictions do not work correctly. To some extent, these people save themselves from wasting money and, therefore, stress. But those who confidently go against the wind, stubbornly making other bets, must understand their mistakes, since indeed, you cannot make the same mistakes over and over again, and at the same time, expect changes for the better.

Basically when it comes to gambling I mostly bet on sports. If I ever see multiple matches going against me with this betting strategy I stop gambling and try to find where I'm going wrong. If I find a mistake in my strategy, I work on those mistakes again and gamble with the correct strategy next time. I now have enough control over gambling that I can gamble pretty much on my own terms when I catch up. I rely less on luck in sports betting because my experience will help me more here. From my experience I will surely understand which team will be ahead and I will bet in favor of that team. I have not been very successful in gambling with all other strategies but I am very successful in gambling with the current strategy and I do not lose much here.

apart from the odd, I guess your reason for choosing these teams would most likely be due to your past knowledge on how these countries performed and you didn't pay attention to there current strength in terms of the players that have been called up to play at the international friendlies and the world cup qualifier. If you look at the recent matches that where played in preparation for the world cup qualifier specifically the Nigerian match against Benin republic, one would normally close his eyes and just bet that Nigeria would win that match but you see that it never happened. The normal Nigerian squad in the past that has the likes of osimehn and ekong would normally beat the Benin republic team but due to there absent and alot of other issues like the coaching factor, the super eagles lost and it you used the odes to judge that kind of match, sorry would be your name.
regardless of how you seems to be certain about a match, it's best never to bet above your limit cause you don't know what's going to happen. We've seen at several occasions bigger team doing too bad against smaller teams and this is part of the reason why you can't solely depend on the odds for your analysis.

Nope! I prefer to select fewer games, in most cases not more than 3 and I don't like running games that takes days before all the games will play. It's not my thing and I doubt it will work well for me.

I also like betting on sports betting. I can enjoy the match and the incredible surge of adrenaline while watching the match. As far as I know, there are rarely any bettors in sports betting who experience 5 consecutive losses except those who bet on parlays. Most gamblers who play online gambling such as slots or cards can experience a lot of losses. If I experience a lot of losses I will stop playing that game and for the record I never play with big bets. So actually I don't care about losing a lot.

If I will just to add, everyone has a plan here, until you really get into that losing streak and you don't know what to do. Others might stay away from the game itself for a while and doesn't want to feel that emotions of losing because mentally it's really not good. But there could be others who will not stop. I mean they don't take the lost very good and will still continue to play despite the money that they have been pouring.

So again, this is just a big reminder to everyone, I'm not saying that I'm perfect or what, but most of the time after what's been said and done. It's really hard to quit and we really don't know what hit us.

You can't rely on luck, but you can rely on your skills if they are producing wins for you. Learning from your mistakes is important, it's a basic requirement for improvement for us sports bettors. However, this doesn't exempt us from experiencing a losing streak. In fact, a streak of 5 losses is not too long; personally, I have experienced a streak of 10 losses. Nevertheless, since I stayed disciplined, I was able to recover because I still had my bankroll, even though it was down 40% after that cold streak.

Yeah, I completely agree with you bud, although I wont say it's impossible for sports bettors not to lose 5 different bets consecutively, it's very very possible, most especially when the bettor is chasing after high odds, so as to double it tripple his or her money in the fastest way possible, I am not ashamed to say that  have experienced such before, I lost more than five different bets on football games because I was chasing after high odds.

And one I completely agree with is betting on parley, from my personal experience, I did say that there is no other betting games that is as easy to lose as in parleys, And as hard to win as well.
I have possibly have placed thousands of parley bets, but I can easily count the few ones Ive managed to win, I did say that winning on slot and casino games is way easier than winning parleys.

Maybe it depends more on what kind of gambling, because there are gambling games that depend entirely on luck, such as slot gambling. with other types of gambling that require skill to play, of course it can increase your chances of winning, but I think luck still plays a role. because I think even if someone says that professional gamblers can't win with certainty, because of course even if they use their skills or knowledge it won't guarantee that they can win, it's just that the chances of winning are indeed increased, but even so, the loss will still be higher. dominate the gambling carried out.

Ten consecutive defeats is not a good thing, because I think OP has experienced enough damage. with those of you who have experienced ten consecutive defeats, I think you should immediately stop to rest your mind and body, because I think when you have lost more than three times, it can be called an action of wanting to recover losses and of course that is an excessive action which is actually not recommended. . For those of you who have experienced many lucky losses, then you can recover because you still have money, of course because luck is on your side.

Sometimes, after many defeats, it is worth thinking about - what is the mistake of the strategy that you are currently using in your conclusions in order to make victory closer? When my prediction for one of the betting matches does not come true, I review all the options: whether I took into account the fact that the match was held at home or away, the health of all the players, their conflicts among themselves and within their families, the results of previous matches. And then I usually understand why my bet didn't come true.

But sometimes the luck factor plays a crucial role, and nothing can be done about it. Every gambler should understand that luck can be both on his side and against him, and this is normal. Since the influence of luck is offset by a large number of bets on matches - and then the prediction skill is shown in full.

Stay away for a while from the game is the best solution for those who losing streak up to 5 times because their emotion can be at a high level and can really lose control at anytime. They will difficult to control themselves in gambling and if that happens many times, they will not survive in gambling and will becomes addicted to gambling. They will difficult to accept their losses in gambling and will trying to recover their losses no matters if they use more money.

Their minds will not telling them to stops from playing gambling games but their minds will whispering them to keeps playing gambling. In that situation, they will difficult to decides to stops playing gambling because they can't control their minds and lose self control. That's why we must have strong self control so we can holds anything from gambling.

That's what I mean, friendly matches are not an important agenda, there is no vision and therefore the intensity of play is not high. Playing any game on a sportsbook is an indication that a gambler has become a problem gambler, and this should be avoided.

We have a lot of important events especially in football coming up, this is a suitable medium for betting, BTW, how do you think the match will go at the opening of the EURO later? Can Germany cover the -1.5 handicap?

Yes indeed, when expectations are high it will increase focus on one thing that can make us fall more and more into the excitement and fulfill the ambition and it will make everything fall apart what we planned before gambling and making everything look carded instead of making everything into something that you cannot control, namely excessive ambition and expectations to spend the money you have.

In fact, do not see the losing streak as something small that can make us continue to play until we have a lot of defeats and the thing that must be limited is that when crossing the limit of defeat must stop at that time too, do not think that it is normal.

The importance of using a good mindset because whatever we try to stop gambling but not having the right mindset will obviously be difficult, because every gambler usually has pressure through their thoughts on themselves because they have the goal of getting big money from gambling. The right thing to think is that usually they will enjoy gambling just for entertainment, so nothing will affect themselves.

If every gambler gambles without a budget limit, it will definitely be difficult to control himself to stop gambling, but if he is used to these limits, usually the gambler will know when he has to gamble and when he has to stop gambling, but actually in this case it can be done because the right mindset, without the right mindset it is impossible to control yourself to stop gambling when you lose. Gambling to have fun is better than to make money. If you want to be rich, work or build a business. I often get these words from experienced gamblers so I learn a lot from them to be a responsible gambler.  ;D

If we learn about having a good mindset, we will use that when playing gambling so that can also prevents us from keeps playing gambling without stops. Our minds will telling us to take care of ourselves and will not tells to spend more money, especially if we already lose some money. We can think objective and see the reality that we already lose some money by playing gambling so we must stops immediately before we lose more money.

Our minds will telling us to have limitation for the budget and times so we can prevents the lose not to becomes big. Many people lose their control and break their limitation because they lose streak up to 5 times and they can't stops themselves from playing gambling. If they have strong self control, knows how to limits their time and money, have the right mindset, they will not gets any problem from gambling and even they will enjoy their spare time to playing gambling. Playing gambling is just for fun and not for other things so they will feels that it's better they use their spare time to do other things that can gives benefits for them.

Frustration is very certain but I think we have to accept the fact that losing is normal in gambling even if we have long experience as this won't increase our chances when we just rely on luck. That is why we can't be too emotional in gambling or else, this will lead us to more suffering. This is how important to understand the nature of gambling, those who can't accept losses are those gamblers who can't taste winning as well. Why? The more they feel annoyed and disappointed, the more they can't think of the right thing to do because what is in their mind is to get back their money and they will never stop committing mistakes until they realize it.

Every one does have a strategy that they do have confident in but the bitter truth has always been, there is no guarantee of a winning irrespective of your strategy whether how long or short you have been using it. However winning has a long way to do with luck after utilizing your most convinced strategy of having the your expected outcome, the uncertainty of either Lossing or winning can not be overemphasize it is an inherent trait of gambling especially when it comes to soccer predictions, because it is embedded with circumstance that one can not have control over it rather than accepting it. Loosing 5 times in a row requires going for a break that is humble advice.

I completely agree that no matter how uncomfortable it is, with such a losing streak, we should admit to ourselves that we have failed and our current luck is still not enough to have a better ending, instead of thinking of any other way to deal with the losing streak, we should put ourselves in a state of egolessness, not taking any further actions when that will be the biggest loopholes. Unfortunately, many people's minds do not help them achieve a state of isolation from the world of gambling, and what remains in their mind is the unpleasant provocation of losing.

the thing is that a real gambler doesn't measure losses, its someone who hopes directly in gambling that he will always win that get temper whenever it lose in gambling, let just give a little instance, that if I gamble and experience a five straight losses and I will have temper, that's liable for me, because I know quite well that gambling is not something of assurance and the risk and the disadvantages in it can equally make you to lose like straight tens without experiencing wining, when you are gambling one thing that should come to your mind should that you might win or you lose, so wining is something that come through chances or opportunity, because its a game of unpredictable and also risk.

Yes, and again it's about everyone's luck, because luck can't be manipulated, and it just comes out of nowhere.
In football betting, 50% research and 50% luck, because football betting still has a lot of research that needs to be done from the game and how the team is doing,
and the rest depends only on luck.

However, on a game like slot it requires more luck because you just need to press the Spin button and raise the Bet to add a chance of getting more jackpots.
But it certainly won't be that easy, because the casino system already regulates it.

Get enough rest to avoid higher stress because it will be dangerous for the gambler's mental and financial health.
I also choose to take a break and forget for a moment about gambling when there is always a loss.

Yes, maybe someone has his own way of betting but if he overdoes it, it will become something very bad, defeat cannot be tolerated and used as a breeze, we must pay attention to what went wrong to cause defeat, you cannot see that the strategy is right in your eyes but the fact is losing, although gambling is inseparable from luck, but you must also know that you can minimize your losses if at the bet you are too naive to choose and do not think about the right steps after getting the first defeat.

Losing five times is certainly in my opinion a bad thing for someone to experience, and I think if I experienced that even in the second loss I closed my bet that night and then I came back when my heart and mind were calm to thank again, because usually it will get worse if you have experienced an emotional defeat we will have impulsiveness and feel angry with the previous defeat, and that's what might cause you to lose more money that night.

Whatever happens, don't ruin your plans. I agree to OP that you have to stick from what you have planned for. Because things might go wrongly if you are the one to violate your own goal and plan.

And handling a losing streak is another different thing for each gambler to take. It's too hot to handle our losses because it's not easy at all.

My take with that is no different than the others. Simple, move on and get on your shoes and do some jogs to sweat out that stress from losing streak.

It hard for such luck to turn for my favor than to make me continue losing in a way it will make me regret why I made such decisions, which is the reason, I don't gamble above my budget in gambling which is what is still keeping me in gambling till today.

When you know the partner that is working for you in the gambling, you don't allow other people winning to make you gamble against your wish because it can make some gamblers to loss some money ,and it can even make them not to gamble for a long period of time.

You can get it right, if you can be able to avoid some of the things that made you to miss the last opportunity in the gambling, but if you still continue with those partners in the gambling, it will not going to make you succeed well in your gambling.

Losing streak is part of gambling, in terms of gambling losses, I really think I've lost considerably, even more than this. That was back then in 2016-2018 when I was a man made for the bookies, but this is a considerable loss though.

When I encounter this kind of loss, I just abandon gambling for the mean time since I'm encountering the devil in it and go for something else refreshing and different to soothe my tensed nerves. I don't continue so that situations don't get messier.

I love gambling on club matches as against country matches, I think I'm better at predicting it and understand it more since it's something we encounter and watch on a daily for a longer period of time than country tournaments which is once in a while.

Not just game strategy is included in gambling psychology. You also have to be aware of your reaction to victories and defeat. The management of risks is a key gambling issue raised by your story. Financial difficulties can be avoided if you create and follow a budget. This approach is completely reasonable in a society that frequently promotes risk without considering the bad results. By having a mental barrier around this, you will resist the temptation to "chase losses," which typically results in even more failure. Healthy gambling is about how well you can maintain your principles in the face of adversity as much as how much you win or lose. Always follow the plan

Martingale all the way... If we have been on a long losing streak then double the bet is the way to recover, and it doesn't have to be in the same session, after you lose you can come back the next day with a new bankroll and try again but this time betting more. At least that's what i do.

We must have in mind some basic principles about gambling, we can't always win, but at the same time, we can't always lose.

But what plan you can prepared before you gambling? Typically the only plan you can do is set your target profit while the amount of bankroll is obviously either bust or profit in the end.

The rest about strategy planning for the game itself and how you will handle your emotion while playing is very hard to maintain in reality because our emotion is always the number enemy that keeps us decide based on the current situation in gambling. It’s easy to chase losses when you are already down big time on the game because of the emotion which you will not do if you are still not gambling.

It’s very hard to apply general gambling guidelines in real games.

It is normal to lose in gambling, not 5 times in a row, more than that, no one can avoid it. If one uses gambling for fun and is not too worried about the amount to bet and can accept the loss then this will not be a problem for him. But if someone thinks that he has advance win while placing bets and his bets are for earning and he does not have the ability to lose the amount he bets or if his money is borrowed money then he will suffer a lot. Which is very harmful to both his health and financial side. For this always risk management should be learned and gambling should always be used for fun purposes

I didn't reach that losing streak, because I control my funds before it too late and in order to do that I'm not using huge amount of capital. Making gambling for fun was just a good idea, but losing several times was really a devastating situation. Most certain cases leads to distress and your emotions would be affected. Many people couldn't handle it, and some might said they'd able to handle and overcome regrets and worries but in the end it was just an alibi.

The human mind sometimes can be hard to control and that's why many people fail to get the point that sometimes losing can't be overturned. If I were to be in such situation, I would personally just lay low because losing changes the thinking and entire mentality of a gambler during that period and when you can't think straight, nothing would ever seem to work out.

Speaking about 5x in a row then this is usually happening into those games or simply with casino based type games on which it would really be that too easy to acquire these loses on which it would really be that unlikely for it to happen on sports betting but we do know that when it comes to potential loses then we do really know that everything could really be that possible and this is something that we should really be that tending to be wary as long we are dealing with betting or gambling then loses could really be on losing streaks. This is why on the moment that you are planning on making up some gambling sessions then always allocate on the amount on which you can only afford to lose and never ever on spending on the amount on which you cant really be able to afford to lose.

People would become that impulsive on the moment that they will really be losing up money and in result it would really be something that make you that impulsive and this is something
that you should really be trying to look and realize on such moment or condition.

In gambling, losing streaks are bound to happen, no matter whether you have good control or a good strategy. Because after all, when you experience defeat, you will also continue to bet in the hope that the next result will be a win. Maybe, it won't be a problem if you only bet with money and flat odds, because what is a problem is when you bet by increasing your bet, whether it's increasing the odds or just increasing your money. But the point is, there will always be hope for you to win when you experience a losing streak and therefore, stopping betting is something that is difficult when you cannot control it.

Indeed, without self control I guess a person couldn't stop betting until such time his/her funds will totally drain out and worst is the debts will eventually increase so high. That's making it difficult, so other eager gamblers who got losing streaks would rather hope and seek luck from betting all over again just to expect winnings with the same scenario which tend to loss eventually.
