This topic is really for gamblers who are consistent with gambling.

And that's a 100% accurate thing about gambling and everyone.We forget to share and we intend not to share how much we've been in losses because we feel bad and ashamed of telling it to others.

Haha, I thought that this topic is only for consistent winners. Well, it's still for everyone who gambles, as long as we gamble, we're part of it and I think everyone feels the same about it. If losing streak comes, I just get out of the chair and do something to stop the emotion that I'll feel about it. Not easy to do that but before emotional breakdown, do something. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Agbamoni on June 25, 2025, 11:12:14 PM I dont know how others do it but mine is simple. I am not addicted to gambling so I follow every rules diligently. Although sometimes we tend to be ignorance of some rules because of greed. Whenever I lose, am not happy I lost, but it does not get to me. Ill just forget about it because the money I lost was already forgotten the moment I decided to gamble. This is how every gambler should react towards losses.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Oshosondy on June 25, 2025, 11:12:51 PM I was an addict before and I suffered many losses. It was depressing but the depression was not lasting more than few hours and I will forget about it, but it was not just a good thing at all to be losing.
I now prefer to gamble not often and using small amount of money for it which is better. I noticed that I significantly not gambling like before. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: stadus on June 25, 2025, 11:19:12 PM I now prefer to gamble not often and using small amount of money for it which is better. I noticed that I significantly not gambling like before. But how about the kind of entertainment or fun, are we still getting the same feeling either way? I mean, when the bets are bigger, the thrill is way higher. We're definitely happier if we win that way, it feels more exciting compared to betting a small amount where, honestly, we’re not that happy when we win and not that affected when we lose. It’s like the higher the risk, the more intense the emotion and that’s what makes it more interesting for a lot of us. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: len01 on June 25, 2025, 11:23:33 PM I believe that both regular and casual gamblers can experience disappointment when they lose more than they initially intended. In my own experience, I sometimes feel frustrated when I lose control and end up spending more than 70% of my gambling budget. When this happens, I try to shift my focus by spending time with friends and avoiding any conversations related to gambling. Sometimes, I’ll take my wife out for a meal and engage in light conversation, anything that helps me take my mind off the loss and regain emotional balance.

Most of the time, we only want to talk about winning, and because of that, we sometimes forget that losing is not just possible, but something we’ll experience more often than winning. So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? If the loss during my session is big enough to make me feel bad or affect my mood in some way, the first step I take is to log out the casino (so I wont fall for the temptation to chase those losses). After logging out I try to distract myself and forget about the money I just lost and not to think about what I could have bought or gotten with that money. I go for a walk, I play some video game, I try to focus on being productive in other things which are completely unrelated to gambling and keep my mind busy. It could take me up to a week before I get over the loss and can continue as of nothing happened. Usually, such experience would lead me to adjust my wager in order to reduce my risk and not to feel the same way if I happen to lose again to the casino in a bad luck streak. If things got really bad, I would talk about what I feel and the cause of it to someone I trust, like my family or a close friend of mine. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Post by: Strongkored on June 25, 2025, 11:43:59 PM I handle it normally, of course at the beginning I will be very annoyed and sometimes I will feel regret because I had previously thought about stopping in that game session but ignored that and continued playing until I finally lost everything, because I only use money that I can afford to lose, so I will deal with losses normally, and in my opinion as long as players only use money they can afford to lose then the handling will be normal or it will be considered normal there will be no excessive response.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: mirakal on June 25, 2025, 11:48:02 PM The good thing about me is that I already accepted the reality that with gambling, there’ll be more losses than wins. So I don’t really see it as a serious problem, but more on a normal scenario that will surely appear despite how good you are as a gambler.
The only key here is that, learn to gamble what you can afford to lose. That way, your losses will not be that painful, as long as you stick to your betting budget, regardless if you hit your winning streak. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? In the past, my way of dealing with losses was by gambling again, putting some money into the bankroll, and hoping that it would turn things around, and it would repeat itself like a cycle, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, fortunately now I am not like that anymore because I have a family to support, so I think that's the best way I can feel. Maybe for now I am not one of those you mentioned, but I used to be a very consistent and very intense gambler, so I think I can share my experience here.This topic is really for gamblers who are consistent with gambling. Those who say they only do it occasionally or just for entertainment won’t really feel this the same way, and probably won’t feel the pain of losing either.

Post by: BitMaxz on June 25, 2025, 11:51:01 PM There are many things that can affect your emotions. If you can't handle your losses, I've been there before with huge losses in casinos.
The bad thing is revenge bet, where you want to recover your losses in a single night, but the result is against your expectations, which makes you eager to bet more and lose more. If we do not manage our emotions for each loss we make and do not limit ourselves, we will lose a large amount with disappointment and regret. In my case, I learned about gambling. If I lose, I stop. I limit myself because I understand that casinos were made for entertainment purposes, so we must gamble only what we can afford to lose. There are still many people who think about the opportunity to win big from the casino and treat gambling as a source of income, but the fact is everything in the casino is always based on luck. You should treat it just for fun, not as an opportunity or a source of income; that's a bad mindset in a casino. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: criptoevangelista on June 25, 2025, 11:54:53 PM It's always bad to lose, but when we're involved in gambling and betting, that's a risk we choose to take. I always try to bet only what I can afford to lose, and if I lose too much in a day, I stop and come back another time. I believe everything comes down to emotional management, not acting irrationally when winning or losing money. It's important to understand that losing is part of the game, and that's okay, as long as you play responsibly. Money always deserves respect.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Ryu_Ar1 on June 25, 2025, 11:57:38 PM Sometimes it is a little difficult to talk about the defeats we experience because there is a sense of prestige and not wanting people to know about the defeats we feel in gambling even though we all as gamblers realize that defeat is a natural trait that definitely occurs in the gambling we do even though there are wins that we get but it is clear that the probability is more losses than wins.
I personally deal with my defeats with several things especially with the attitude I show, annoyance will clearly occur when we lose because we all don't like defeat even though it is a certainty but when in this case we use too much of our emotions then it will end more tragically, so as much as possible I personally try to force myself to stop when I lose with the nominal that I have set as a limit and find other activities to forget the gambling that we have done and the defeats we get. Indeed this is a little difficult but when I force it I get used to it now and this method is still quite effective for me to do until now. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Amphenomenon on June 25, 2025, 11:59:55 PM It’s like the higher the risk, the more intense the emotion and that’s what makes it more interesting for a lot of us. The higher the risk the more tense one may be, I don't like being tense and I often rather not do this. I think what matters here is if such a gambler notice that he/she has now been swayed by much negative emotions then they should take a break or quit or might opt for a new strategy which maybe reducing the stake amount.Gambling is involve winning or losing and if the stake is really much just opt for something better. This intensity can even be fun for some. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Darker45 on June 26, 2025, 12:56:01 AM No, occasional or not, gamblers feel their loss. As a matter of fact, on the contrary, what I noticed is that occasional gamblers are even more affected when it comes to losing than consistent gamblers. Those who are gambling day and night have already come to terms with the possibility of losing. That's a constant they won't be surprised about when taking place.
Those who seldom lose money in gambling because they seldom gamble are even emotional when losing. They're the ones who will likely lose a good night's sleep. Those who are into gambling all the time will just brush it off as a normal thing in gambling. Anyway, as for me, I'd just move on. Even before I decide to bet a significant amount of money, I have already let go of it. Although there's still that pain before you sleep, it's not so much with losing money as with the fact that the team you though would win lost. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? Yeah, that's true and I guess it's also part of human nature as well. We don't want to tell anyone on how we losses. Only winners are being seen as successful in life that's most of us hide our losses or even deny to ourselves that we did lost a lot of money from last night or two days ago. As for me, I also play with my wife so she knows that I lost anyway. But if I'm not playing with her and with online games only, then if I lost, I simply had to man up and tell her later. Or just try to sleep it over and not overthink it about it because I know that it might cause me some mental trauma later. So probably the best method is to just simply accept it, no matter how big or small your losses and not don't complicate things and forget everything.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

So now do you think that only consistent Gambler will reply to your thread? The Truth is that Both consistent gamblers and occasional gamblers feel thesame thing that regular gamblers feel too loss is loss and nothing like higher or lower loss. It could even be possible that the occasional gamblers loses more fund than regular guys because they might be betting huge during the weekends compeard to a regular gambler who gamble with what he can afford to lose everyday. Surely there is no big deal in handling loses, loses are inevitable which must surely come on a regular basis, and every gambler must be compatible with it. It's just like the slogan that say "suffering and smiling" which means you gamble and lose and yet pretend as if everything is ok but yet it is not. The only motivation Gambler uses to keep their emotion balance is that the mist win huge someday. If a gambler does not have that type of encouragement mindset then they can be able to handle loss issues. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

I have had enough experience when it comes to losing money in gambling, I have learned from it and put measures to protect myself with a set of rules which keep me in check.

Post by: jcojci on June 26, 2025, 01:43:22 AM It is hard to forget the losses from gambling but we should do that. We need to leave it behind us so we don't remember we have lose in gambling. We can not live by remember our losses and must move on. Losing in gambling is a certain that can happen any gamblers but we can control how much we loss in gambling so we don't feel too regret.
If you think you will feel frustrate because of your losses, you should try to reduce your time to playing gambling. You can make your busy by doing many things and try to forget the lose. No need to feel hard feeling to see your losses because you know you can minimize the losses. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Post by: Slow death on June 26, 2025, 03:38:02 AM In my case, I have been betting very frequently for some time now. I often lose, but since I bet multiple times, when I win, I can get all my money back. But then I take a vacation from betting. Because I believe that you shouldn't look at gambling as if it were the only thing in the world to have fun.
When I have a losing streak, I don't get angry. I try to figure out where I'm making a mistake. I try to pay more attention when I analyze. And if I still lose, I don't get angry. I look at sports betting as entertainment only. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: mindrust on June 26, 2025, 04:00:52 AM I get it you don’t want to hear anything from those who play for entertainment but have you ever thought maybe that’s exactly the answer you are looking for? What do you expect to hear from the veterans that lost a fortune to gambling? Will it make you feel good? Maybe for a short time but you know that’s not exactly what you are looking for. You don’t seek temporary relief. You want to be unburdened by what has been. Then stop listening to the addicts. Listen to voice of reason. Play for entertainment. God is merciful. It is still not too late for your soul.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: acroman08 on June 26, 2025, 04:04:02 AM So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? I have learned to accept the loss and not dwell too much about it and then move on. I found that it is the best way to deal with losses for me. I will not say that my way will work for everyone, but this is how I do it. Different people will have different ways of handling losses, and the way they deal with them can be completely different from mine.Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: lienfaye on June 26, 2025, 05:19:17 AM I experienced the worst before. I was out of control and losses are hard to accept, resulting to addiction. Trying to recover it often, that's what comes to my mind so I spend huge part of my salary in gambling. That experience gave me an important lesson that if you can't bear losing money in gambling then don't ever try playing. Because it's part of it and inevitable.
Currently, for me it's not hard to handle losses since before I start to gamble I already set in mind that this money is what I can afford to lose. So regardless of the result I can accept it and can move on. It's my will to gamble the money since no one coerce me. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: crwth on June 26, 2025, 05:22:42 AM I handle losses in a way that I know how, just accepting it. Not making too much of a deal and knowing that what I deposited is "okay" to be gone if I lost it all. That's how I would control it and making myself and reassuring myself that it's not the end of the world and try another day.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: DaNNy001 on June 26, 2025, 05:40:06 AM I just simply stop for a while and allow myself to think straight...

Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: laijsica on June 26, 2025, 05:45:04 AM There is no method or way to manage losses in gambling that has yet to be discovered. I can only console myself by saying that I have to gamble for fun and at the same time try to win. Trying to increase the amount of winnings is foolish but I at least find a way to adjust to losses in a way that minimizes the amount of money lost.
I try to follow bankroll management to minimize losses, although it is a situation that is often overcome. Implementing a bankroll system to avoid losing money can reduce the amount of money gamblers lose. Another method I have found to establish self-control in gambling is to control my emotions and the tendency to stop in any situation. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

There is no rule that gambling will always result in profit, there is loss in profit. There are some things mentioned in gambling that everyone should know, enter the game of gambling with as much money as you can afford to lose. Whenever you are losing more and more, to reduce your losses, you can criticize other gamblers and through conversation you can correct your mistakes. Right here, if you can gain experience by correcting the mistakes of different people through various discussions, you can certainly reduce your losses in gambling. Gambling mainly depends on experience, strategy and luck, it is possible to win more and more, time maintenance is the most important. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Sometimes it is difficult to handle the disappointment of losing, especially when we make a bet where the chances of winning are actually quite large, which makes us bet bigger on sports betting that clearly provides Odds and matches that are more favorable to one team. Sometimes we try to bet bigger on the favorite team. I have done it, but the results are not as expected. If betting with a normal amount, maybe nothing will happen, but when confidence increases and bets are increased, then losing can have a bad impact. I decided not to bet for some time.

I started with 15 dollars to play and the Gate of Olympus Super Scatter slot felt generous at the beginning as it made me go to a maximum of 153 dollars, and kept me wagering like near 2000 dollars by playing slots not using the usual bullshit dice strategy. I lost it all but at least I increased two VIP levels at Bc.game casino and I am not sad at all. May we have all such type of losing sessions I would say as it has done more benefit than harm to me. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: danherbias07 on June 26, 2025, 07:01:50 AM Lots of rest after the losses. Try to move on and forget about everything.
This can definitely happen to any gambler, and I think we all must be ready when it comes. Back when I was playing slots regularly, I felt my losses growing higher and my losing streak getting longer, too. But I did receive some high multipliers afterward, and I think that's why the RTP is working. My worry is that after that big win, my losses will get higher and longer again, and that's why I am playing in a controlled mode after I realized it. Do not do it all in a day. If you are not enjoying it anymore, then stop. That way, the losses are still tolerable. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Gambling is inseparable from defeat even if we calculate as a whole we lose more often than win so the main key to being able to control emotions is by not expecting victory in the gambling that we do and we just need to enjoy the game and consider this as entertainment. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

And there are obviously two of them: a complete loss or doubling. Well, with deletion everything is clear, that would be cool. But if I go, that losing a newly replenished deposit will not affect my life, then in principle there is nothing terrible about it. Let it be so.

Post by: giammangiato on June 26, 2025, 07:40:38 AM A loss is always frustrating, it makes you feel enormously dissatisfied and in a bad mood, this is usually what you feel.
Over time I have learned to manage or at least dominate this feeling: 1- Before any game I am aware that I am about to lose (if I win it is only a surprise) 2- I never say anything about the loss or the win (it is just a personal thing) 3- I distract myself by playing online games with friends Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

If you treat gambling like your job, you will feel bad if you lose. Your mood can change exactly after your losses and that can affect your day. We need to calm down after losing the money and not think to recover it. We will difficult to recover the lose money so we don't have to remind our lose. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Because is is the exact area where most gamblers get it twisted by only thinking what profit they wish to achieve and not minding what they are willing to risk away in their quest in wanting to hit a jackpot. As it is important every gambler take serious note on this. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: iv4n on June 26, 2025, 08:08:27 AM So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? It's not that we don't like to talk about it, it's just that there's not much to talk about... A loss is a loss, here and there we die gloriously and we remember that, but that's not something to praise, it's just the school we paid for. So a few curses & a few threats in the air are enough for me. After that, we push on to new victories... or defeats. We never know what's coming next. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Post by: Outhue on June 26, 2025, 08:32:29 AM We don’t really like talking about things like this, but I think this kind of topic is important and should be discussed among gamblers. Most of the time, we only want to talk about winning, and because of that, we sometimes forget that losing is not just possible, but something we’ll experience more often than winning. So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? This topic is really for gamblers who are consistent with gambling. Those who say they only do it occasionally or just for entertainment won’t really feel this the same way, and probably won’t feel the pain of losing either. So to my fellow gamblers, feel free to share your experience, and I hope we all still stay responsible even after going through tough losses. I handle losses like a boss, it is not difficult to do because I don't risk a lot of money on gambling, I am also contented with how much I make if I win in gambling, I don't expect to be a millionaire as a gambler, I am sure this is why gambling doesn't bother me. I only start to feel somehow when I keep losing through out the month spent on a casino, I will then either take a brake or switch to another casino, I've had this occurrence before and that's what I did. The amount i risk on gambling is too small to disturb my mind or thoughts, a gambler who want to be at peace all the time with gambling will do the same, the lesser you risk on gambling the better you will feel about gambling, all it takes is discipline at managing your money. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Moreno233 on June 26, 2025, 09:14:08 AM There is no special way of handling losses especially when it is within the limit that was planned before starting the gambling session. The people that struggle with losses are those who does not plan their gambling to keep room for losses which is inevitable. I have passed this level in gambling as I see winning strictly as a privilege which must be appreciated and losses as necessary to make it gambling that it is. When I lose my bet, I forget about it and continue the next bet until I reach my risk level and if no win, I stop.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: SmartGold01 on June 26, 2025, 09:24:11 AM Handling loses comes with how much you do use to gamble or how much you allocate to gamble all time because if you allocate an amount higher than what you can afford to lose then it would be dawn on you that regrets must certainly follows immediately after lose, but when you allocate amount that is worth riskable and maybe, an amount you do not so much attached so much values then it becomes normal things for you to allows accepts whenever you lose while gambling.
For sure, no one is happy seeing themselves losing or regularly failing whenever they gambles but when they uses that is not that higher than what they expects then it comes a usual thing for them or normal ways for them to lose money, even as that they must see gambling as an ultimate place to double their balance. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: purple_sparkles on June 26, 2025, 09:39:11 AM My win-to-loss ratio is roughly even, and I place small bets. Basically, I don’t win much, but I also don’t lose much. For me, betting is more about the emotions. When you place a bet on a game, you watch it with much more interest, like being at a stadium or near the ring, the feelings are completely different. It’s more like an opportunity to break away from everyday routine and reboot your mind, especially when you can’t attend such events in person.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Dr.Bitcoin_Strange on June 26, 2025, 09:57:18 AM Every gambler usually have the ways they handle their losses, some would gets upset and transfer aggression while stops gambling for a period of time, while some keep chasing the lose thinking they can beat the casino. When I was still more dedicated to gambling, I have exhibited some of those characters as ways of handling my lose but this time around, it doesn't even seem like I had a lose because I don't feel the impact and that's because I don't gamble with the amount I can not afford to lose and I always prepare to accept what ever outcome I get from my bet.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: EluguHcman on June 26, 2025, 10:01:31 AM So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? Loosing is what every gamblers should be expecting to experience most in gambling even while the goal is to win.That acknowledgement gives an edge for gamblers to take be earlier informed that you don't always get what you expected in gambling. So at the moments of looses, it does not become a shock like you never expected it otherwise, you will be emotionally broken and can even ruin your whole day. That is when you think winning was the only option in the outcome of the games you played. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Managing losses in gambling is not easy because it may be talking about losing money, but if not handled properly it can actually have a much worse effect. I only do simple steps where gambling only under certain conditions and every time I get a loss I will never try to get it back by chasing victory in the next bet. Within certain limits we need to bet in smaller amounts so that when we lose it doesn't affect us too much.If it is considered enough, then stop and don't force yourself to place the next bet, even if you lose or win. Betting twice a week on football may be enough because we will limit the small budget to get involved in it, the rest can enjoy other activities without having to think about betting all the time.

Post by: Japinat on June 26, 2025, 11:45:03 AM It really takes mastery, you learn through your mistakes until you reach a point where you can control yourself and manage losses without panicking. It only becomes dangerous when you're not being responsible, since that often leads to chasing losses. Most of us have gone through that, but if it keeps happening, then maybe gambling isn't for you. It could snowball into something worse over time.
Just like in business, we have to accept that failure is part of the game. And if you already understand that losses are inevitable, it won’t hit you as hard when they come. Acceptance is key here as that’s how you stay grounded. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Tmoonz on June 26, 2025, 11:54:27 AM I believe that both regular and casual gamblers can experience disappointment when they lose more than they initially intended. In my own experience, I sometimes feel frustrated when I lose control and end up spending more than 70% of my gambling budget. When this happens, I try to shift my focus by spending time with friends and avoiding any conversations related to gambling. Sometimes, I’ll take my wife out for a meal and engage in light conversation, anything that helps me take my mind off the loss and regain emotional balance. The issue about both regular and casual gamblers experiences of disappointment should not be a debate at all because losing is losing no matter who is involved, indeed gambling experience is a mix feeling of losing and winning and no one intended to lose but it is a reality to accept and when you don't you end up hurting yourself the more which I consider that to be double loss because it can interset your entire self, emotionally, physically, financially, medically, and other wise, and that is reason why gambling should not be overly holed for and even the money to be use should be money that personally belongs to us and we canet go in the case of lost. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Finestream on June 26, 2025, 11:57:18 AM Although I gamble just to have fun, feeling sad is usual. But what I did was to move on and think it was a part of gambling life. We can easily move on when our mind is not focused on gambling, and if we use only our extra money. But those who are expecting high will completely blame themselves and become frustrated. It should be kept in mind that losing is possible and often happens.
I believe this could help... - don't get caught by a winning assumption - remain wise with our money - embrace the reality Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

That's right, because what plays an important role in gambling management is not only discipline but also mindset. When a gambler thinks he will win after losing a bet and increases the amount of the bet, this will actually be a trap for him. When he wants to succeed in gambling management, he must be able to fight - addiction - chasing losses - thinking he can control the system - thinking maybe now is the time for me to win. if these 4 things can be fought, then discipline will be stronger, self-control can be achieved. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Fuso.hp on June 26, 2025, 01:20:15 PM You will understand when you have become a mature gambler. When you see that you can take the results of winning gambling well as well as the results of losing money while gambling naturally. No one likes to lose, everyone wants to win and at any cost. Gambling is about winning and losing, so if a gambler takes winning naturally, then he has to take losing naturally. When I gamble, I try to apply my skills to the fullest and check everything carefully before gambling. However, many times my strategy is wrong, due to which I lose money while gambling, but after losing money, I do not get excited, but when I lose, I take a break. After taking a break, I keep looking for those reasons why I lost while gambling. If there is any mistake in gambling, then I do not make those mistakes again later, as a result of which I feel that I have definitely learned something new.

Understanding, if I put forward emotions to pursue defeat, by multiplying bets or repeating the game, I don't think it's a good idea for me. Of course I see a lot here they are chasing defeat, for me all that is not, if you lose and win, of course the things that will happen in gambling, there is no way to deal with defeat, losing that is finished, winning there is hope for the next round.

Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: dimonstration on June 26, 2025, 01:55:57 PM How to handle my losses?
I gamble using an amount that I can afford to lose so I can accept immediately the lose outcome since the money I used has no strings attached attached to me or simply I already dedicated as disposable money once I use it for gambling. Although, I rarely lose on gambling due to the nature of how I gamble but there’s always a time that lose is inevitable so I always in check on the amount I use for my bankroll. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Shinpako09 on June 26, 2025, 02:41:15 PM Well, after losing, I try to find a way to divert my focus, like grinding airdrops, playing games, or doing anything that helps me cool down and avoid getting tempted to deposit again right after a loss. It wasn’t easy to do at first, but over time and with countless attempts at self-restraint, I’ve gotten better at it. Not perfect yet, but I can manage it most of the time now. I keep reminding myself that I’ll only make things worse if I don’t control myself, so cooling down after a loss is really important.

But to handle your losses, you should always use the amount of money in gambling that you will never care if you lose it. It may be that you already earn $1000 per month, if you use $20 from here to gamble and lose it, it will not seem like a big loss to you and you will never care about it and will not think about it emotionally and you will not feel that you have to recover this loss.

If a gambler faces losses considering his initial vision, then his idea will be wrong, one should never expect to win right at the beginning of gambling. Experience is gained through losing in gambling, the more a gambler loses, the faster he will become known as an experienced gambler in gambling. When I started gambling as a new player, I lost many times and won occasionally, the number of wins in the first nine months of my gambling life was very low, but I did not give up and participated in gambling regularly. I am currently less likely to lose and more likely to win, every time I lost, I tried to correct my mistake, in this way I have gained experience in adopting gambling strategies and having a higher chance of winning at present.

Applying self control is very important in this regard, as we gamble, we must not see everything as a missed opportunity each time we couldn't afford to win a bet in gambling, instead, we can take it as being part of the fun, we cant expect to always gamble and win, but when this attitude of self control is set in place, we are going to moderately apply the sense of responsibility to every bet we place as we gamble and also face the result as consequences which we can never feel ashamed of.

Some people can execute this properly as they have better control and understanding towards gambling. However, most people are not like that. Most gamblers will typically go beyond what was set for gambling, whether it's money or time. Some go further beyond a little and some are too excessive. Obviously, those who excessively spend time and money on gambling are the ones who's gonna suffer more losses, but I've seen people like them and still able to handle their losses calmly, but not those who are broke. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Mahiyammahi on June 26, 2025, 03:44:11 PM So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? There was a time when I used to gamble a lot, and of course, I didn’t win every day. That’s the reality. On losing days, it was incredibly hard to control myself. And on the days I won, the excitement was overwhelming it made me feel unstoppable.But the way I protected myself from heavy losses was simple: I always set aside a portion of my profits. On days when I lost, I never touched that reserved amount. That habit became my safety net. One rule I followed strictly I never reinvested more after a loss. If I lost most or even all of my balance in a session, I’d stop there. I wouldn’t chase it by adding more money. Looking back, I think this discipline is what saved me from facing massive losses.

Most of the time, we only want to talk about winning, and because of that, we sometimes forget that losing is not just possible, but something we’ll experience more often than winning.

Those who say they only do it occasionally or just for entertainment won’t really feel this the same way, and probably won’t feel the pain of losing either. So to my fellow gamblers, feel free to share your experience, and I hope we all still stay responsible even after going through tough losses. The easiest way to handle losses is to accept them first, it's funny how most people gamble but they don't think about the possibility of losing, they only think about winning. As a gambler you must be ready to lose at anytime, this is why you shouldn't be locked in and it's also important to gamble with what you can afford to lose. Not accepting your losses can tempt you to try and avert them, this would only make things worse Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: nakamura12 on June 26, 2025, 03:56:10 PM Many people discuss about winnings more but about losses is that not many discuss it and if they did then they will only say that they lose (the amount they lose in a recent or the most recent gamble history) let's say for example, I lose $200 yesterday. You can see that the example only said about the amount and then stop compared to winning which a person will surely say the exact or full details on how he/she wins it. Anyway, about handling losses is that one should accept that you lose and better luck next time.

Gamblers that's ready for losses will always risk what he can afford to lose anytime that he or she want to gamble. No guarantee in gambling that's why there's always a loss. Wish winning is guaranteed, I'm sure that winning will be more than losing, it's obvious that most of the times gamblers be on a losing streak more than winning streak.

You can handle loses better if you accept that it's a part of gambling, it will help you not to put too much expectations on winning. If you gamble and have not accepted loses as a part of it you'll always be depressed anytime that you lose. Most of us suffered depression in our early days of gambling when we used to put too much expectations that we must win, in the end we will chase loses and mostly lose more. To control, reduce or stop feeling miserable when you lose you should always use amount that you can afford to loose, it'll help you to get over loses in no time.Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: justinlamode on June 26, 2025, 04:19:59 PM You are absolutely correct that is the real truth about it, because most of us here normally forgot that gambling is more of losses than winning. However, it's very essential for us to always approach gambling as an entertainment or having fun, with only the amount that we can afford to lose. Because that is the easiest way to handle losses in gambling without any harm. Honestly, this is the most important thing in gambling because even till now so many people are still finding it diffult to control their losses when gambling. I would say less painful rather than easiest path to handle losses because accepting losses is not easy in reality unlike discussing it in subjective way.Even if you risk what you can afford to lose our human feelings will always makes us feel regretful even on a tiny bit of losses because we earn that money through our hard work. I handle all my losses by keeping myself busy on my work or watching tv show that will out my mind on other things. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Obim34 on June 26, 2025, 04:24:21 PM I just simply stop for a while and allow myself to think straight... A lot of gamblers don't know how to control the feeling that comes after losing especially when you end up losing multiple times...you just need to accept the outcome and simply move on otherwise you'd be stuck on trying to get back what you have lost, this can lead to More losses at the end of the day... gambling is a game you win some and lose some Each time we deposit into any gambling site, there is intention that we want to stick with while enjoying ourselves. Most gamblers deposit with intentions of making a particular profits, some gamblers as well only wants to stick with enjoying the casino, without minding if they end up left with nothing. Much dissatisfaction come when you only expect the best of luck to happen without preparations for the worse to happen. Gambling gives either profit or losses, rather have both in mind especially losing since it's always the casino being favorites when we gamble. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Of course, players easily fall into this spiral, when a series of losses overtakes them at a certain point and it seems to them that they had money twice as much as now a couple of minutes ago and they can just as easily return, they just need to make a couple of successful bets. Naturally, none of them wants to think that they will lose if they continue. It seems to me that many players should learn to take reality seriously, otherwise, at one point, they can start losing their money very quickly. As for me, I have long understood that I want to stay in gambling longer and therefore adhere to strict restrictions in terms of losses. As soon as my losses for a gaming session reach a level, I immediately stop without any excuses.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Experiencing a heavy defeat can be frustrating for some gamblers, because they feel disappointed that the game they have played cannot provide satisfactory results. However, for those who are aware of the risk of losing, of course, they will be able to deal with it better even though they have feelings of disappointment. This is an instinct for everyone when they expect to win in gambling, but the end result is defeat. I'm sure everyone will feel disappointed when they experience a heavy defeat in gambling. To overcome this, it is better to avoid gambling on that day and return to gambling when your mood is calm enough. Don't add excessive risk when you have lost by expecting to return the capital that has been spent previously. This will make things worse Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Now, whenever I gamble and experience significant losses on a particular day, I stop gambling and take some time to observe before I gamble again. Once I stop gambling, what I do is divert my attention to something that will keep me happy, so I won't continue to struggle with the pain. I don't know any other way to handle my losses except to stop gambling for a while and come back in a few weeks or months.but if i will say the best way not to go through pains when someone experiences losing is by gambling with what skmeone can afford to lose because after someone have lose some certain amount of money it can easily hamdle that and that is reason that lead some people acts.

Honestly, it is very hard to forget losing from gambling, even though the person later wins a big amount of money; they will never forget what they lost previously. Because before a person should win in gambling, it takes a very long time, during which he will continue to lose, and that’s why even if it has come to pass that he/she has luck by winning in gambling, he/she can’t forget the losses; but the best thing is that we should reduce the amount of money we use in gambling to avoid losing too much money.If you think you will feel frustrate because of your losses, you should try to reduce your time to playing gambling. You can make your busy by doing many things and try to forget the lose. No need to feel hard feeling to see your losses because you know you can minimize the losses. The main problem of some people is that instead of sharing their time out of their busy lives by doing many things, they can’t. Some people will only depend on gambling after they know that it involves risks and the time they’re losing. Instead of having control over their losses, some will still continue to till after they get addicted to gambling, and they will later regret it.Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: silpersurfer on June 26, 2025, 05:04:05 PM Defeat in gambling is something that cannot be avoided, as if it has become a certainty, gambling that is done often ends in defeat, especially if we do not have good self-control and emotions when gambling.
we cannot avoid these losses, so what we have to do is how we can minimize these losses so that the losses experienced are not always acceptable and do not have fatal consequences for our financial condition. and to minimize it is to set limits on gambling. Where we set limits on how much money we spend on gambling, and how long we spend on gambling. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

I have had enough experience when it comes to losing money in gambling, I have learned from it and put measures to protect myself with a set of rules which keep me in check. Furthermore, I usually call it a day once I have exhausted my budget and I avoid trying gaining back that money that same day, knowing I have exceeded my limit. Having a long losing period can be painful and disappointing. But believing that one day I will be lucky to recover all my losses keeps me going. Seeing others win also gives me hope that one day my team will come. But usually overcome my losses in a short time by hanging out with friends with a few bottles of drink or spending some time watching my favourite movies. But it is always easier to overcome the pain of losses if you gamble with amounts you can afford to lose. So the advice is; gamble responsibly. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

That made me accept another loss because I had to buy a new monitor.You certainly know how a gambler becomes very emotional with betting, that's because the bet is quite large, and the loss makes the situation very unpleasant. That experience has been going on for quite a long time. Now I bet smaller and don't have an excessive response when I lose. What happens is just ending the session and going to sleep, or other activities like running in the park. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: OgNasty on June 26, 2025, 07:40:33 PM The best way to handle losses is to try and learn something from them. That way you didn't waste your money, you paid for experience. That's the best way to look at everything in life. Remember, if you are always winning, you aren't taking enough risks. There are L's in the word multi-millionaire for a reason. Don't be afraid to lose some. Just make sure you win some as well or find a new game to play. At the end of the day you are paying for entertainment, not wins or losses, so just try to enjoy yourself and keep learning.

Losing in gambling is a certain that can happen any gamblers but we can control how much we loss in gambling so we don't feel too regret. I don’t think there’s anyone who’d say that they don’t remember that they lost to gambling at one time or another; but the most important thing is that we should try as much as possible to make sure that our losses are not that significant enough to impact our emotions. It’s okay to recall the loses but it shouldn’t be enough to tie you down in a depressed state (there are lots of people who became depressed just by recalling past gambling memories) and once that starts just know that you have a bad gambling habit and should probably take precautions to minimize its impact. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Oluwa-btc on June 26, 2025, 08:20:44 PM I dont know how others do it but mine is simple.

Whenever I lose, am not happy I lost, but it does not get to me. Ill just forget about it because the money I lost was already forgotten the moment I decided to gamble. This is how every gambler should react towards losses. Yes, like you've earlier mentioned,it's easy for you but it's hard to others to be really practical with the approach of balancing and not chasing Losses.Any kind of losses,be it personal or financial,can be a very difficult phase of one's life but the moment you decide to come out stronger out of it is what makes it easy for you to not be emotionally and mentally suppressed.

How I handle such loses is to simply try as much as possible to forget about it and move on, because dwelling on this won't change anything, what is lost is lost even if the loss was by some kind of mistake or something, you surely have no choice but to move on. It is commonly said that there is absolutely no gain or sense in crying over a spilled milk, you either move on to other opportunities or dwell there and lose other opportunities. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: promise444c5 on June 26, 2025, 09:23:15 PM Yes, losing comes more often than winning for most gamblers,I think it's largely because it's based on predictions of future events.
But how do we handle loss? You can only realize you've made a loss when you lose which means it's inevitable but since this loss can accumulate into something big right.. then taking a break is very essential. It's not that hard,set a plan and once you hit that limit take a break through a particular period.There's no truly perfect way to handle loss, once it happens your fund is gone so all you can do is manage the situation. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Raflesia on June 26, 2025, 09:43:37 PM Don't think about the losses that have occurred with gambling, when we gamble, from the beginning before gambling we should be ready to lose the money we bet, this unprepared behavior to lose can be a disaster in the future. When you have experienced defeat or loss in gambling, the best step to take is to take a break and stay away from gambling for a while, because gambling that continues can affect our emotions which triggers even greater losses.
Gambling and experiencing losses is useless to think about it, it will not change the situation for the better. As much as possible, what must be done is to accept the reality and not have thoughts of restoring it at that time. Come back another day that maybe luck will be on our side and give us an advantage. And remember, losing in gambling is something that cannot be avoided no matter how well we gamble, losing is something that has a big chance of happening. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

It is not always easy at first, every step into the way I made a mistake but when it gets used to you it becomes simple too. I believe every gambler can actually practice the approach without putting much effort into it. Once you continue to do something even if it is putting 30% of the energy into it, it becomes a part of you with time. Losses can be handled, first by acknowledging the loss and knowing gambling losses shouldn't be dealt with emotions. This first step is important while the way we feel inside we get stronger over time. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

So to my fellow gamblers, feel free to share your experience, and I hope we all still stay responsible even after going through tough losses. Because it is true that most of us always think about how to win when gambling. No one is interested in learning such information in advance, such as how to recover or handle a loss before it happens. What I personally think is that every person should set their loss limit before gambling and take a break from gambling when they touch that amount. And even then, if it ever happens that you cross your limit and lose too much, I think we should take a break until that period ends. By period I mean that time, let's say you lost $300 betting in one day, which could have been your three months' betting fund, then I would say you should have a breaking period for the next three months. This is how I think losses can be handled. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Nwada001 on June 26, 2025, 10:41:53 PM Having a long losing period can be painful and disappointing.

But usually overcome my losses in a short time by hanging out with friends with a few bottles of drink or spending some time watching my favourite movies. But it is always easier to overcome the pain of losses if you gamble with amounts you can afford to lose. So the advice is; gamble responsibly. When you conceive that hope in you that your time for winning will come based on how you are seeing others winning and how close your games have been between winning and losing, it might lead you into irresponsible gambling. I have this mindset and hope that winning can come at any time as long as I still gamble once in a while, but I don't overhope or expect it to happen. I just treat it as a game of chance and proceed with less expectation. If it happens, lucky me; if it doesn't, I let go and continue my usual activities. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: r_victory on June 26, 2025, 11:31:51 PM I don't bet much money, but I always bet. This doesn't stop me from losing, but it limits my losses. I don't have a problem with betting. I'm not dependent on it. If I win, great. If I lose, that's fine. It's something to be expected. In fact, it's the greatest probability we have and the greatest certainty: losing. I don't blame myself. I move on and try again another day, always within my budget.

As far as I know, this is a topic discussed extensively in this forum. I don't know where you get the idea that winning or losing isn't something that's discussed. These aren't taboo subjects. I mean, losing and winning are a balance that depends not on feelings, but on mathematical statistics. Ultimately, it's not just about being happy about winning or crying about losing; it's about ROI. It's a formula. Focus on making changes. Even sometimes losses look good on paper; only the results do not come Review your profits, perhaps improving your bet size or looking for a better multiplier will help. In the case of sports betting, you may be betting too much at @1.5, so you should look to place more bets like @1.8, @2, @3, etc. Improving your Green ROI is also something you should review. It's actually a complex topic; books have been written on the subject. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: lizarder on June 27, 2025, 12:26:54 PM That's right, because what plays an important role in gambling management is not only discipline but also mindset.

Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Free Market Capitalist on June 28, 2025, 08:26:46 AM how do you handle losses? As of today, I am betting amounts that if I carried them in my pocket and they fell out, if I lost them, I would not give a damn. If everyone did the same we would see less crying. It was different when I played poker because I was profitable and I was usually in profit 10 or 11 months out of the year. But catching a bad streak where you did nothing but lose was bad to take. With experience, bankroll management and taking the right breaks you could get through it. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

You have learnt your lesson the hard way and retraced your steps. For those who have loud mouths, they announce when they win and want people to feel or have the impression that they know what they are doing and that they have skill, they can still boldly tell when they lose and want to blame it on the casino for their failure. I like the being silent type; let only you know when you place a bet, when you lose and when you win. It will stop some unnecessary questioning from those close, which could easily be avoided.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

If the individual himself is not in control, then no one will be able to help him make himself responsible in dealing with gambling. How to handle loses will be that mostly be pertaining about into your emotions because at the time that you do failed up on making up such control then you would definitely be ending up on making it worst. Why? You would be that keeping on making up some deposits just because you do believe that you can get back on what you had lost and even make up that amount of money on which that makes you positive and with this kind of mindset then it will be that resulting into that more further loses. There are just that those conditions on which that luck factor will always be the determining factor for you to win up or being on positive. Handling loses is tough but its not impossible because on the time or moment that you do become that desperate then you are that prone into more loses as well on which this is the main reason on why majority do messed up their lives because of having that kind of desperateion into their emotions and also into their minds on which this causes up that continous numbers of addicted gamblers. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Kagaru on June 28, 2025, 09:00:02 AM Losses are worse when you really get into gambling and not gambling once in a while as a way of entertainment. In my case, coping with losses is all about being down-to-earth. I remind myself that there is little point in losing more often as a result of chasing after losses. When it is turning out to be difficult, I would make an attempt at trying to distantiate myself, perhaps taking off a few days to cool off and regroup. I have also discovered the practice of betting on what I am satisfied to lose even during a loss, it hurts. It is very tough and when you are going through a dry spell it becomes tougher and balancing your head is the only thing which has helped me to be on the right track.

When someone gambles with high expectations and confidence and bets a large amount of money, either their long-term savings or money borrowed from someone, it hurts them a lot when they lose their bet and lose that money. Gambling is a very interesting thing. When you watch other people gambling and track their profit and loss, you will be interested in gambling and you will think that gambling is a very easy thing that can make you a lot of money very quickly. Or you may see various attractive advertisements that may interest you to gamble but when you start gambling yourself, you will see how difficult it is and how much it can weaken you financially. So the only way to save yourself from this is to keep yourself in control and use very small amounts of money so that if you lose it, you will not be financially ruined.Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: taufik123 on June 28, 2025, 06:09:36 PM Setting a limit is the safest way to preventing losing too much when it comes to gambling because when you set a limit to which you can gamble it helps to to quit when you are not losing because alot of person's quite when they have be drained dry from losing everything on their account setting up a losing limit will even help in fighting against addiction because when ever you get to your losing limit you call it a day there by preventing gambling related addiction Yes, setting limits is a good strategy, about the money limit used or how much allocation and game limits are allowed. But the problem is whether the person can apply discipline to the initial strategy, because some people who are indicated to be addicted will cross that line because they continue to get defeated, then intend to gamble revenge in order to recoup the loss. But what happens is not to return the loss, but to add more losses which make him more stressed and then lose all his money. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Post by: Olatundespo on June 30, 2025, 03:39:51 PM The best way to handle losses is to try and learn something from them. That way you didn't waste your money, you paid for experience. That's the best way to look at everything in life. Remember, if you are always winning, you aren't taking enough risks. There are L's in the word multi-millionaire for a reason. Don't be afraid to lose some. Just make sure you win some as well or find a new game to play. At the end of the day you are paying for entertainment, not wins or losses, so just try to enjoy yourself and keep learning. I totally agree with you. We should have a mindset for entertainment whether it is a losing or winning situation. I don't try to align myself with those gamblers who keep gambling to win and keep tempting themselves to lose more. The mindset of learning to handle losses in gambling keeps adding new experiences for gamblers and they keep becoming aware of the underlying fundamentals. At the end of the day, not everyone has the same mindset of paying for entertainment because they are new to the gambling platform and they should develop himself and small betting habits during the learning period.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Is a difficult thing to experience because it doesn't attributes but push the gambler to loss more, however I'm happy for you to have come out of it and still gamble on a control manner because not every addicted person can do that without going back to the old habits because at some point the thinking of lost amount will come as an interference to make the gambler want to get some part of those unwilling lost. However I did not only handle losses by feeling bad but I also handle it by the unwillingness and feeling irritated by it that for that day I wouldn't like to think about the games that caused the lost, although is not a frequent feeling but only comes on those kind games we usually see very annoying because of the people representing it.I now prefer to gamble not often and using small amount of money for it which is better.

No one feels happy enough when he gets a defeat either in large or small amounts. but of course as you said to avoid all things that are not desired and will only increase the losses experienced, then you must try to always accept the defeat that occurs. Always remember that defeat is part of the game. These type of stories are more important than the ones people share about winning huge amounts of money, this is also a win.

When we are still actively involved in gambling, the possibility of experiencing major losses and becoming addicted to gambling will always be there. Therefore, it is very important to apply limits in gambling, both regarding the amount of money spent or how long we spend gambling. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

In gambling, we are expected to have the both sides of the feelings, which makes it more of a necessity that we expect more of losing than winning, having this in place, it will enable us to take in fate whichever comes our way as we are gambling, handling losses shouldn't be something we cant cope with, because we are to have it already as part of the plan that either of the sides may come and we have to treat it as needed and take it as it is.

This is the reason why having the right mindset when comes to gambling matters, many know that losses are inevitable but they tend to focus mainly on the wins alone taken gambling as a get rich quick scheme. Such mindset what usually makes folks to view gambling the wrong way , because with the wrong approach one can easily get addicted to it due to the fact of continue chasing of huge wins (jackpot). Those that always have the mindset that losses are inevitable in gambling are always finding ways they can reduce those losses like gambling with what they can afford, avoid gambling frequently, not having the fantasy approach of getting rich with just one jackpot though some folks lives has been changed through gambling for the past years , but doesn't mean you have to be reckless when gambling due to chasing huge wins. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: ₿itcoin on June 30, 2025, 04:33:15 PM Losses really hurt. Many times, I have been there. I used to play with a $200 bankroll, it was all gone in an hour. Then I started to note down every bet, every loss. It really helps me understand pattern, also forces me to stay calm.
If you are already a problem gambler, then afaik CBT therapy reduces gambling frequency and intensity and reduces stress. You could go to a support group to share your feelings. The ultimate solution is never to consider gaining the loss back, always accept the result. Also, you could talk to someone you love, share your guilt and shame, it really works for me. Losing really sucks, but failure is part of the game accept it stay happy. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

If you can't do it, you might as well admit yourself of having a problem as stepping away, because there's no other strategy that would somehow make your pre-set limits irrelevant.But the problem is whether the person can apply discipline to the initial strategy, because some people who are indicated to be addicted will cross that line because they continue to get defeated, then intend to gamble revenge in order to recoup the loss. But what happens is not to return the loss, but to add more losses which make him more stressed and then lose all his money. Control is often misunderstood when talking about discipline. People think that it has something to do with the profit, but people can't affect the outcome, and it's debatable if they can ever ever predict it. Only thing they can control is themselves and how they behave, and if they can't do that, i can't see how could they ever gamble in responsible way.. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Koadharber on June 30, 2025, 05:26:15 PM In gambling, we are expected to have the both sides of the feelings, which makes it more of a necessity that we expect more of losing than winning, having this in place, it will enable us to take in fate whichever comes our way as we are gambling, handling losses shouldn't be something we cant cope with, because we are to have it already as part of the plan that either of the sides may come and we have to treat it as needed and take it as it is. This is the reason why having the right mindset when comes to gambling matters, many know that losses are inevitable but they tend to focus mainly on the wins alone taken gambling as a get rich quick scheme. Such mindset what usually makes folks to view gambling the wrong way , because with the wrong approach one can easily get addicted to it due to the fact of continue chasing of huge wins (jackpot). Those that always have the mindset that losses are inevitable in gambling are always finding ways they can reduce those losses like gambling with what they can afford, avoid gambling frequently, not having the fantasy approach of getting rich with just one jackpot though some folks lives has been changed through gambling for the past years , but doesn't mean you have to be reckless when gambling due to chasing huge wins.

I used to play with a $200 bankroll, it was all gone in an hour. Then I started to note down every bet, every loss. It really helps me understand pattern, also forces me to stay calm. I noticed that you need to know how to lose, but most beginners don't have this skill. They think that luck will smile on them again and again, and someone else will lose. I have long accepted reality and understand that losing is a normal process, the main thing is to perceive it easily. Gambling punishes those who do not learn to do it. There is another side, for example, not to go crazy from winning, because if we are not mentally prepared to win, then if we are very lucky and we win, then we will want more and more, this will eventually break us, there have been many such stories.If you are already a problem gambler, then afaik CBT therapy reduces gambling frequency and intensity and reduces stress. You could go to a support group to share your feelings. The ultimate solution is never to consider gaining the loss back, always accept the result. Also, you could talk to someone you love, share your guilt and shame, it really works for me. Losing really sucks, but failure is part of the game accept it stay happy.

So to my fellow gamblers, feel free to share your experience, and I hope we all still stay responsible even after going through tough losses. Is there any better ways to handle losses like you do before you started gambling. I'm not sure if this should be a subject of discussion if you really value how responsible gambling. If you gamble what you can afford to lose, trust me there wouldn't be any need to handle any losses because even before you wager that money into any bet, you have already put it into consideration that you are risking that money solely because you know you could lose it and not expecting anything. I'm not sure if I'm the only person who practice this or it's because I don't like been emotional about my bets. I don't expect money back when I gamble but I want to see my predictions right. This motivations gives me hope and kind of personal reviews to understand if I'm doing better or not, if my skill is good in the pattern I have been going or not. This way, you will even be making money without realizing the efforts you put into trying it in the first place. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Before anyone start gambling, the first thing which they are suppose to know is that, they are going to lose in gambling, their is no way you will be a gambler, and you won’t be losing, that’s not really going to be possible, if you are a gambler, you should have it in mind that you are going to lose, and you will win, so whenever you are gambling, you have to be cautious, always have a gambling budget, and don’t exceed your budget. I will say the only newbies that will think they can’t lose are the ones that have been brainwashed by all those people that claim to be betting tips provider, there are some people that do claim they are tips provider, and you will be asked to pay before you will be added to group, people like this will make you feel you cant lose in gambling, and they use fake evidence to deceive people.

Losing really sucks, but failure is part of the game accept it stay happy. Accepting your losses and failures and moving on is a great thing, but trying to stay away from excessive losses or unnecessary failures is even better. So many gamblers don't need to be in the situations they are in. It's only because they get too lost when they are gambling, especially after they lose a certain amount, which makes them think that they can't move on by leaving their lost money behind, so they try to recover their losses, which is the biggest mistake they make, because this then makes them lose even more. Eventually, they lost everything only because they were not ready to let go of the initial loss. So, a good advice for a gambler would be to always let go off your losses because it's gambling, you tend to lose and win based on your luck, and you can't recover your losses if you are not lucky enough to do that, and you can't know that, so trying is not worth it, especially if you can't afford to lose more after losing that initial amount. So better stay back, and move on without trying to recover what's gone, and maybe, you get a win and recover it naturally. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

There are gamblers who gamble with all of their monthly pay without considering the side effects if things go wrong and majority of the time people like this end up losing everything and end up in regret but it's already too late, their regret can't solve nothing, it left for them to realize their mistakes and quit those irresponsible gambling decisions.

In the first place, why are you not prepared for losses in gambling? How sure are you that you will win each round of the game, and don't overlook the other side's outcome? Managing emotions always starts with how you discipline yourself. Set a stop-limit amount that you can afford for gambling, so even if you lose, you know your limitations.

Generally speaking, if you consider the ideal game where you are in control is to initially allocate funds that you are willing to lose and not hold on to them. Yes, you can try to win more and increase your bank, but if you lose - that's it, you can't play further, you can't play further and look for new funds, it should be a taboo for every player, because this is the reason for many balance losses - not being able to control your bank Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

We deeply appreciate the joy of winning and the joy of winning, so the pain of losing in our memory is mitigated by the joy of a small victory. If we win a bet right after we have lost multiple bets, we forget the pain of losing multiple bets in the past. This is how most gamblers always share their feelings of joy with people but do not share their feelings of sadness. However, for those who participate in gambling for pleasure, pleasure is the main thing. In this case, even if they lose, they do not consider the bad feeling of losing, but rather they target pleasure in life and start moving forward.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

If we win a bet right after we have lost multiple bets, we forget the pain of losing multiple bets in the past. This is how most gamblers always share their feelings of joy with people but do not share their feelings of sadness. However, for those who participate in gambling for pleasure, pleasure is the main thing. In this case, even if they lose, they do not consider the bad feeling of losing, but rather they target pleasure in life and start moving forward.Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Rockstarguy on July 01, 2025, 07:56:36 PM If we don't want to run into surprises as we are gambling, then we have to learn on how we could gamble in a more responsible manner, because if you did not go beyond your capacity, then try not to also chase after losses in gambling, because we are to be a responsible gambler and also to have the management ability of our losses being in place, the worst mistake one could take is to go after losses and this will lead to more of it, if care is not taken, gambling should be taken as it is, either if we win or loss. One thing gamblers need to understand is that no matter how much you put into gambling and no matter how desperate and serious you take it, it doesn't make winning certain. The best thing is to just understand this and follow it accordingly because gambling is very unpredictable. When you have in mind to follow up on gambling and to win by all means, it can take one unaware, and one would be disappointed because of the expectations they have in gambling. When gambling is well understood, there won't be any need for one to gamble more than what they can't afford. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: livingfree on July 01, 2025, 11:04:03 PM Gambling is very easy to handle only if you understand it and know what to do at the wright time, just understand that it's for fun and nothing more, but if luck get wins along the line, it's additional pluse to you. Those winnings are additional to us but can't stop the people that keeps on chasing what they are up to.What they want to do is to push for more profits because they think that if they've won, it's not enough for them. And that happens because they always include in their calculations the losses that they want to recover. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: khiholangkang on July 01, 2025, 11:22:25 PM For someone who has been in gambling for a long time, they should understand that losing and winning are common in gambling. However, it is unfortunate that not a few gamblers are drowning in their defeats until they end up with significant losses. Someone can easily accept victory, but not with their defeat.
Facing defeat is not easy, but it is important to have a good emotional and financial management strategy. One way to overcome defeat is to set a loss limit and stick to it, so as not to get caught in a cycle of continuous defeat. In addition, it is also important not to be too emotional when experiencing defeat. Don't let defeat make you carried away and make impulsive decisions that can worsen the situation. The key is to stay calm in any situation, especially when you get a defeat. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Post by: TelolettOm on July 01, 2025, 11:37:47 PM Everyone certainly has their own way to handle their loss in gambling, whether it's the same way as other people in general or specifically, or even no way to handle it and just let it go because it's a habit.
For me, I have some notes that really should always be considered in gambling, including in handling losses and wins. And that, not far from some of what is also conveyed in several articles, those work well on me. 1. Acknowledge your feet and try to still control our emotions, never make you controlled by your emotions, but you who control the emotions. It means that 2. Being open to someone trusted. This is also important to help you vent your defeat and so that he can also help you control your desire to return to gambling, at least, to stop for a while. 3. Try to stop and take a break from gambling, even for a moment. Don't let us have feelings for revenge again with apsangbet again after the loss, because this is the same as opening a deeper hole for defeat again. Stop and stop first! 4. Bankroll management, this is very important, make sure you are disciplined and responsible to control and manage your bankroll, so that you will not lose control to use money during gambling.

Those who have been gambling for a long time have a very good morale and aware of their losing. They certainly know that the most lost in the betting or gambling. That is why I would like to say, any gambler should gambling with a small amount of money. Then the loss level will be greatly reduced and you will be away from frustrated. However, those who have new gamblers are most excited to play. That is why they are mentally affected and the highest rate is recorded by them. It is certain that everyone will lose gambling. So if you lose money will not face any problem. That amount should be gambling with money. And you are losing in gambling because of any mistake, it must first determine. Then the level of losing will decrease. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Scarlett_23 on July 02, 2025, 03:30:03 AM If you play a game as a game, it is natural that there will be losses and wins. Those who consider gambling as just a game can keep themselves satisfied with losses. And those whose addiction increases, they cannot easily accept losing, which is why they decide to play again later, even knowing the risk.
They think that if they win this time, their money will double, then they will be able to recover the money from the previous time. But after regretting and losing, they have nothing to do except blame themselves, worry and regret. In this way, at some point, the person loses his money and relationships and he goes into complete depression. Therefore, before playing, you should keep yourself away from greed and have the mentality to stop if you lose. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

There is little difference between having $1 dollars and having nothing. But there is a chance to win, say, $35. Of course, this money will also run out soon, but that's another matter beyond gambling. Why are these people in this situation, who is to blame for it, and how to change their situation. Therefore, their logic is not wrong. In their position, this is the only possible logic. For a cornered person, it makes no sense to go and do slave labor for food; it's easier for him to take a risk and commit a crime, or gamble on all the money he has. There is an important thing that distinguishes poor people from the middle class: they have nothing to lose. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Or we could just accept the fact that losses will happen, and we need to stop if we cannot afford it anymore. The essence of gambling is to be entertained, and if we are losing and getting a bad mood because of it, it's not entertainment anymore, but more like obligated to gamble because we need the money that we lost or we are looking to be saved by gambling with all the bills that we need to pay. It doesn't work like that. The more we pursue a win, the deeper we are going into gambling, and can soon become an addiction. It's going to be messed up in the long run.

I naturally feel regret at first when I experience any kind of loss, but I try to learn valuable lessons from such situations, and not just when it comes to gambling. Losses aren’t just failures; they’re also important life experience. I’ve been betting for many years, and I’ve had difficult situations in my family with relatives who couldn’t control their urges and strong desire to win big.The ability to plan and manage your spending is extremely important, otherwise, the losses can be significant and painful, not only financially but emotionally as well. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: madnessteat on July 02, 2025, 09:36:21 AM I dont know how others do it but mine is simple. I am not addicted to gambling so I follow every rules diligently. Although sometimes we tend to be ignorance of some rules because of greed. Whenever I lose, am not happy I lost, but it does not get to me. Ill just forget about it because the money I lost was already forgotten the moment I decided to gamble. This is how every gambler should react towards losses. Losing certainly won't come with a good feeling and most gamblers are not able to process such emotions because they are not mature enough mentally... It's normal to feel unhappy when you lose but just like you said, you don't allow those feelings to get to you... it's the responsibility of the gambler to suppress those negative emotions otherwise it can propel the gambler to start chasing losses. It is very difficult to recoup past losses in a game that gives us less chance of winning than losing. According to statistics, it is extremely rare to recoup losses in gambling, so it is better not to think about it and try to apply one of the most important principles of responsible gambling—separating gaming sessions. A separate budget should be allocated for each gambling session. If you have lost all the money you have allocated, it is time to stop. Otherwise, gambling ceases to be entertainment and only brings problems. The real victory of a gambler is not to hit the jackpot, but to learn responsible gambling.

When I see some gamblers regretting for their huge loss, it makes me wonder if they don't even learn from their previous mistakes or from another gamblers mistake.

When you are an occasional player and you lose , I think it hurts more because the experience you get is little in that regard The important thing is that you should always play with the money you are willing to lose If you do it that way there will be no problem For me, that is essential.

Been an emotional gambler, there's more to lose. Emotional gamblers are open to all form of vulnerability and we've witnessed the level these gamblers can go and get frustrated, losses will be more gigantic in numbers because the gambler have a weakness spot and doing absolutely nothing about it. Gambling is not for the weak and only the strong survives. I know couple of things have been ruined on our path but we keep our head up and become more focused because winning requires more consistent principles and patterns. You want to know how i handle my loses? Firstly, no room to panic, just stayed mute and observe my weaknesses, ask myself questions about why I lost in gambling. Go back and restrategized other than sitting in one corner and be pouring blames on either your colleagues or the team you place wager on. I see that as pointless and ready to give my very best for the core purpose of making it out alive in gambling. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

I’m saying this because, you don’t find these guys getting addicted and most times, they get to gamble within certain limits. Though they might at times gamble with more than they can afford to lose in that time, they would have several days to rest and wait it out than those who would want to chase the loss, gambling more often and then loss even more.

Everyone knows that losses cannot be avoided, it happens to every gambler. I am sure you can handle your losses easier if you use the amount of money that you afford to lose. It will be difficult to handle if you use huge funds. However if you think you feel stressed after getting big losses, you are better to take a rest for few days. It will help you to calm your mind.This topic is really for gamblers who are consistent with gambling. Those who say they only do it occasionally or just for entertainment won’t really feel this the same way, and probably won’t feel the pain of losing either. So to my fellow gamblers, feel free to share your experience, and I hope we all still stay responsible even after going through tough losses. Lol. This should be a topic for everyone. Even the people who gamble for fun, they probably gamble consistently. By the way, you don't be egoistic to accept the suggestion from certain people only. ;DTitle: Re: How do you handle losses?

Accept it and find other alternative to release your frustration as if you continue trying to chase your loses chances that you'll be finding yourself losing more, most gamblers having hard time with their emotions only few gamblers can make a hard stop and quit away when they experienced heavy defeats. While most gamblers feels that as long as they've got money they can continue trying some luck to win back their money, but at the end of the sessions most of the outcome is not going to be on their favor.

Despite spelling this same advise on their earing for long, you will still find out that some are gambling with the hope or expectation of winning and making more from it, but when it turns a loss, they regret and even went to the extent of shedding tears, because the lost is what they never expect coming, we cant go being overconfidence with how playing bets is, at the end of everything, we cant still do without having loss, no matter how good we are.

A big reason for committing suicide is when someone becomes addicted to gambling and has exhausted all their own funds but their desire to recover those losses does not end. And then they start borrowing money from their friends or relatives and when they lose them too, they have no other way to recover those costs, manage their daily life and repay the money they borrowed. At that time they decide to commit suicide. So I also humbly advise everyone that whatever they do, at least borrow money so that they do not gamble. After getting deeply addicted to gambling, they should control themselves in some way. Especially, they should control their emotions. And a good way to do this is to keep themselves in a limitation and a routine.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

It is so difficult for some gamblers to go for the amount they can afford to win because of greed, as the target is to win that big amount of money they need. Gambling is very risky; there is no guarantee that one will win what they have in mind. Some gamblers gamble with emotions and the wrong mindset, which causes them to lose even more money. Understanding is the problem why people would want to gamble in the way they do to make money.Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Versatile_choice on July 05, 2025, 10:13:42 PM In general I have seen that many players sometimes have a very bad time when they lose , in fact they start to die , but my humble advice is that Before playing, put the money you are willing to lose , no matter how little it is, it is intelligent to make that first plan and if you do what you should do is enjoy it, do not keep anything for yourself , exploit your emotions and if you lose you just have to accept that loss and if you win, do not hesitate to withdraw your Profits. Your advice is indeed a nice one, I would like to emphasis a little on this aspect of putting what we can afford because that's where the problem is, because some guys can decide to gamble with only what they can afford to lose but at some point they start gambling beyond their budget and maybe when the outcome didn't work as expected they start finding it hard to let go. Surely is good to accept lose instead of fighting back, because when we fight back it will result having more losing experience, so anyone who really understand what gambling is all about will never think of chasing after loses because they know the disadvantage of chasing after loses.

It is so difficult for some gamblers to go for the amount they can afford to win because of greed, as the target is to win that big amount of money they need. Gambling is very risky; there is no guarantee that one will win what they have in mind. Some gamblers gamble with emotions and the wrong mindset, which causes them to lose even more money. Understanding is the problem why people would want to gamble in the way they do to make money.Gambling with emotions always created problems and negativity because gamblers set targets which are not easy for them, but they try to chase them and at the end they are having no way to return usually this happens when peoples jump into gambling for with big dreams and nothing solid strategy. Peoples those are having strategy and go for the fun always keep things on balance and have better way of controlling their system because they understand the value of their money which they are having after hard work.

Gambling is very risky; there is no guarantee that one will win what they have in mind. Some gamblers gamble with emotions and the wrong mindset, which causes them to lose even more money. Understanding is the problem why people would want to gamble in the way they do to make money.It is never advisable to chase wins, recover losses, take too many risks, risk everything just to get rich from gambling. For me, true gambling is when gamblers are able to gamble responsibly and they spend their money wisely. For me it is much more important, of course, because small mistakes made in gambling will have a direct impact on the finances and behavior of the gambler himself. Gambling is not a money-making machine as imagined by some gamblers with the wrong mindset. Gambling is a game where winning is never certain, but losing is something that can be considered to have a high probability. Gamble wisely and use an amount of money that you can afford to lose. That's how to make gambling more fun instead of being a trigger for bankruptcy. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Move on when losses are there and it doesn't have to happen at most times. The same goes with winning, when winning, take time to take all of the profits and enjoy it with other things. So should you win, you better keep it and take it as soon as possible. Because the possibility that it will lose again is there and that's why, it's best for someone who's won already to cash out so that it won't be spent for gambling again. Just gamble with necessary amount of money so that we're not going to regret it if we ever lose or go into a losing streak.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Post by: Orpichukwu on July 07, 2025, 09:12:32 PM It was good that you learned how to accept your losses and like you said, which I did outline too, gambling with spare money can help a gambler manage their emotions while on a losing streak, because during the early stage of gambling, an individual will definitely encounter losing streak and it's when they can not manage their emotions that they start to get addicted gradually. Sometimes if a gambler has just started gambling and is being faced by bad luck, which leads to a losing streak, it's very easy for such a gambler to give up on time, as they could consider the system not to be fair enough for them to deal with it, but if they have started enjoying winning a few times before they are being hit by a week of straight losing, they can take it as a challenging something to recover their money, which is where the action they will take next will be based on how they can control their emotions.Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Julien_Olynpic on July 09, 2025, 02:22:34 AM Losses are a painful topic. Of course, it would be better not to have them, but no one can make sure that their gaming activity is free of losses. Unfortunately, losses are part of the game. The most important thing. What we can do with losses is to try to benefit from them, making them part of our experience. This is the best thing we can do with losses. And vice versa, the biggest mistake is not to analyze your losses and not to learn from them for the future. When we benefit from our mistakes, making them part of our experience, we mentally reconciled ourselves with them. In fact, they became a special, paradoxical form of our income. After all, an increase in experience is also income, only, so to speak, an alternative one.

Post by: fruktik on July 09, 2025, 07:32:57 AM Going through your losses is always a difficult stage which gamblers experience, they find it very difficult to accept their losses at these stage mainly those that gambler with the intention to make money or see gambling as their source of livelihood,and that is why after any win they wan to recover all they have lost previously unknown the them that they will be losing more instead of gaining,losses are not meant to be chased but just let it go because it will cause you more damage more than what you can ever think. It's easy to think like that when you're not a very addicted gambler. At one time, I understood all this perfectly well, but I couldn't help myself. I was constantly drawn to start playing again and again. It felt like the process of playing was the meaning of my existence. I didn't want anything except to immerse myself in this world. I really liked slots and I still play them, but not with such great zeal. Awareness came, which put everything in its place.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Smartprofit on July 09, 2025, 09:03:08 AM Personally, I experience losses in gambling very painfully psychologically. The situation is aggravated by the fact that I am not a very gambling person. The thrill of risky situations does not motivate me to continue playing. Losing in gambling makes me sad, my mood deteriorates sharply. I think that this is not a very good quality of my character. I need to change here. This is a growth point for me. A person should love winning more than he fears losing. This is true not only about gambling, but also about business, relationships with people, personal relationships. Gambling teaches risk tolerance. As strange as it may sound, losing in gambling is the most valuable thing that it can give to a player. Because the experience of experiencing losses and damages is priceless. A person cannot avoid losses and damages in his life. And it will be much better if this happens in the game.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Juse14 on July 09, 2025, 09:16:31 AM Losing and losses in gambling are inevitable; they are inevitable. Because losing is inevitable, we can minimize our losses by always ensuring we gamble with an amount we can afford to lose. Only gamble with the money we have left over after all our needs and obligations have been met, including our savings and investments. Once these essential needs are met, we can use some of our remaining funds to gamble.
Gambling is all about losing and losses. Therefore, always be careful when gambling, use common sense, and never expect too much from gambling. When you lose, withdraw immediately and try again another time. Depositing more money than you can afford to lose will only lead to regret. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

There was a case in my family when a close relative lost a large amount of money, and after resolving the financial issues, the relationship was ruined due to money and irresponsibility. That's why this is, in a way, my personal manifesto.

Depositing more money than you can afford to lose will only lead to regret. I agree with that. If we cannot afford it anymore, and the money left will be for something important, don't use it. Don't force it. We cannot win by forcing, and in fact, we might lose more by doing that. We should not forget that gambling will always be there. It will wait for us. That's why we don't have to do it all in one day. Take a rest, have a break, minimize the losses as much as possible, or else it will be chaos for us financially if we keep on going. When we are playing games of chance, it's best if we can control ourselves because it won't always be a lucky day. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Post by: nara1892 on July 16, 2025, 06:17:42 PM I usually deal with the disappointment of a losing streak by distracting myself with other activities or hanging out with friends. Essentially, physical activity is often successful in distracting me, allowing me to forget about the losses I've experienced. I also have a second method, which involves thinking, "It's meant to be" or "It's meant to be that way," which reminds me that this is gambling, and winning and losing are both possible and experienced by anyone.
But behind this, I also try to improve my approach to gambling, such as gradually reducing my bet amount. That's how I handle the disappointment of losing situations.

Post by: LUCKMCFLY on July 17, 2025, 03:45:29 PM And this kind of mentality should always be kept in gambling, those who manage everything properly in terms of financial management, never lose their money uncontrollably. People often face major disasters in gambling due to their wrong thinking, when they start seeing gambling as a means of earning money instead of entertainment, that is when the main problem arises. As long as you see gambling as entertainment, you are safe, but when you only want to achieve big wins in gambling, then the matter automatically becomes uncontrollable.

Post by: MArsland on July 17, 2025, 03:54:14 PM For me to handle losing is to be able to accept reality, isn't the risk of losing an inevitable complement since the beginning of gambling? It doesn't matter if you are a small gambler or a big gambler as long as you can accept defeat, that is more than enough. There is no need to take difficult steps to vent, believe it or not if not you, who else can make you realize that gambling will always have something to lose.

That’s the truth ,losses is inevitable when come to gambling. So is not a new thing that’s why you need to be ready for any thing when come to gambling is not charity either you win or you lose . All boils down to how lucky you are . Being able to handle losses should be among the attribute of a gambler , though is not easy .

I agree with this because in the end when we are dealing with gambling then it is certain that defeat is the biggest possibility that will indeed occur so we must know this is a risk that we must bear as a consequence if we still want to gamble.We gamble and losing becomes a common thing and with this we don't need to feel that we don't accept this because ultimately this is a certainty. Don't be too naive just because you think highly of gambling because in the end with great expectations about winning it will only make you not realize and accept the defeat we receive. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that, but I'm sure that I'll be able to do it. Even though we are aware that this is not pleasant but when we realize that this is the risk we have to feel (when gambling) then we obviously will not overreact which makes us not accept defeat or even blame the other party.

Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: JunaidAzizi on July 17, 2025, 08:36:59 PM To handle loss is not what i see as a big deal, gambling got a lot to offer us and we shouldn't see losing a bet as a bad thing or loss upon ourselves, don't take the risk of what you can't afford to bear, in case of the unexpected situations happen, can we handle it or we are going to regret it, this start from the stake we place on each game, the way we managed our resources and how often our bankroll get replenished when exhausted, they all speak a lot about how we manage our loss each time we gamble. This is the real problem, gamblers did not plan their bankroll. They came and started betting, chasing their losses. If they go without a plan and use the money meant for home expenses, then they will be a hundred percent running into trouble. Actually, this is the secret and basis of gambling, if you are using money you can afford to lose and that doesn’t hurt your feelings, then you will be in your complete sense, and you can easily place another bet calmly to chase your losses. But if you are not calm, then you will start struggling and find it hard to recover, and actually, you will lose more.Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Handling loses would be that pertaining on how emotionally stable you are on which if you arent that good when it comes into this aspect then you would that definitely be chasing up your loses that you had made out earlier. It all matters about on how you would be handling yourself at times that you are losing money because if you cant be able to do so then that would be a big issue. It all matters about discipline and control when it comes into your emotion and with your mindset because if these things wont be having that alignment then you would be having that issues about into the actions that you would be that taking. Loses are normal because gamblers would be always be that on the losing side and this is where you should be that careful about it and never take yourself that getting dragged with that kind of condition or situation.

In many businesses there are losses that you can't control. Same with trading and same with gambling. If you are a professional you control your emotions and you encounter a loss and you treat it as a business expense and you move on to the next game. If you got too many losses you perhaps take a break for the day. Many amateurs do the complete opposite. They lose more and when they lose they get emotional and basically go on tilt and they end up betting more and more because they just want to break even.

I now prefer to gamble not often and using small amount of money for it which is better. I noticed that I significantly not gambling like before. I am at that phase too, you can only get to this point after losing so much when you learn from experience...life is all about wins and losses, it's better to make some mistakes at a certain stage of life than making them later In the future... People who don't learn from their experiences would continue losing their money, staking low on each bet makes you save more money and also makes your bankroll last longer Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

More broadly, physical exercise, anything that gets your muscles moving and sweating, will help you avoid negative thoughts about your depression from losing at gambling. If playing video games is really annoying, especially MOBA vs. multiplayer games, losing can be incredibly frustrating. An additional way is to write down what's on your mind (I recommend writing in a notebook, not on a gadget or other writing medium) because it will encourage you to think more broadly. Write down every frustration and regret in your writing, then question why you're experiencing such things. Provoke your brain to think, and try not to blame anything other than yourself.

Many gamblers have suffered losses while trading and gambling. Before gambling or trading, you should take time to understand yourself and plan your investment. Because we do not know anything about the future, you should be aware of the risks involved in trading and gambling. From my point of view, start gambling and trading with the money you can lose, so you will clearly know the morale of losing. Professionals can control their emotions while trading and gambling and accept losses repeatedly, they understand that this is part of the game. If they lose too much, they can stop themselves and after some time they start trading and gambling again. Many amateurs cannot control their emotions while investing in trading and gambling, they take the opposite steps of professionals. Repeated losses frustrate them and they do not understand where to stop and where to start. They make wrong decisions based on emotions and bet on something that is absolutely not right. Many people make these mistakes. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Well everyone have own perspective about, i think, a professional gambler isn't defined by how many wins they've had i agree with you about that, but by how well they handle wins and losses. Many gamblers, when they win, want more, and when they lose, they want to keep playing without considering the next move, which can further devastate them. This isn't easy to do and requires good self-control and diciplines. Choosing dicipline and good self-control in gamble is really important, Because has good emotional control when facing opponents is important, such as in card games or poker.

I wanted to experience everything for myself. As a result, my gambling experience includes both bitter disappointment from big losses and the sparkling joy of victory.

Post by: danherbias07 on July 21, 2025, 12:11:53 PM Many gamblers have losses, even professionals. However its how the losses are handled that determines whether you are a pro or amateur. In many businesses there are losses that you can't control. Same with trading and same with gambling. If you are a professional you control your emotions and you encounter a loss and you treat it as a business expense and you move on to the next game. If you got too many losses you perhaps take a break for the day. Many amateurs do the complete opposite. They lose more and when they lose they get emotional and basically go on tilt and they end up betting more and more because they just want to break even. And they take bets they shoudnt be taking and eventually they go completely bust. I am pretty sure that happened to everybody here pretty much. I agree with everything that you said. It's tough being in that position. Stress, regret, frustration, and more negative emotions will sink in, and it's difficult to control them all. Most of the time, what comes next is revenge, and I won't recommend that. It's best if we can compose ourselves so we can think straight again. Forget about the losses, move on, start over, or just take a long rest if possible, so we will be able to think about what we have done. I learned my lesson the hard way, which is why I can tell all about this. Madness and anger will also come, and we don't want to be in that position. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: Furious 7 on July 21, 2025, 12:14:55 PM I personally handle losses by doing push-ups haha and if I still have time to relax after maybe I play some video game for 1 hour to completely forget I had a bad pick on a bad day that ended up with a bad loss. However , for me even losing 20$ means a lot as I usually bet small amounts but overall that would be my forget about betting formula. I was a bit confused when I read your quote. I found your way of dealing with losses quite unique, and on the plus side, it's healthy. I think everyone has their own way of dealing with losses. I sometimes cope by distracting myself, like playing games or hanging out with friends and doing fun things. I hadn't thought about exercising like you do, but honestly, it's quite unique. You have to stick with it.You could also try running , play with your pets or anything that will keep your brain distracted for a while. ;D The key is self-control, accepting the reality of defeat. When we gamble and can't accept defeat, what might happen is a desire to chase wins or recover losses. This clearly leads us to continue gambling, but there's still no certainty of winning.

Some gamblers just feel there can be luck all the time a game is played, but it doesn't work that way because gambling is a game where you can't predict what the outcome will be like. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: $weetne$$ on July 29, 2025, 04:05:53 PM I completely agree with what you say. Experienced gamblers may give you partial advice but in most cases you have to make yourself an expert in gambling on your own. Each person should consider his financial situation daily needs and income, how much time he can spend on gambling and how much he will allocate. It can understand from your words that you like to take risks in gambling. The way you gambled the experience that you have gained as a result of playing it alone and intelligently can be positive for future gambling activities and winning. Personal experience in gambling gives you more insights and expertise in gambling, those who you may consideration experienced can not give you the actual experience as much as when you experience it first hand, they may only try to tell you about it based on their own experiences but it still will not match up perfect like you having a first hand experience. Gambling comes with excitement, disappointment, adrenaline rush and so many experiences all in one which some times can be experienced all at once. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: AmaGold70 on July 29, 2025, 07:34:02 PM We don’t really like talking about things like this, but I think this kind of topic is important and should be discussed among gamblers. Most of the time, we only want to talk about winning, and because of that, we sometimes forget that losing is not just possible, but something we’ll experience more often than winning. So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses? I mostly gamble for fun and entertainment, so that makes me a non real gambler? As long as you are loosing money you are bound to feel some type of way. I don't say this often but I was once an addict that felt every loss and during this time of loss I was not always in control of my emotions and I suffered emotionally and it even affected my health, how do I handle losses now? I gamble regularly but I changed my approach and my mindset, now I prepare myself for any outcome and I always make myself believe that gambling is a 50/50 chance so I don't expect it to always favor me, instead of gambling for huge profits I gamble for fun and the thrills of the game, instead of being greedy I gamble with the amount I can handle to lose so that it won't be a problem for me if I lose it. This topic is really for gamblers who are consistent with gambling. Those who say they only do it occasionally or just for entertainment won’t really feel this the same way, and probably won’t feel the pain of losing either. So to my fellow gamblers, feel free to share your experience, and I hope we all still stay responsible even after going through tough losses. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

Yes, it's true that experience matters a lot in everything we do or practice as individuals. But however, it's literally not everything you need to experience personally before you should be able to know it's "Does" and "Don't", most especially gambling, whereby there is a common saying for people to always "gamble an amount they can always afford to lose". So as a gambler, if you have to wait until you lose an amount you can't afford to lose before believing it. Then that's totally up to you, because just the same way people can hear that acid is dangerous without first experiencing it. It's also possible for people to know all the rules of gambling without falling victim to any. Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

As much as possible, avoid it, I do agree with that. But most of the time, we must experience the loss before we realize the mistake. Experience can really change the mind of a person, especially if he is on the losing side. That's why kids should not be allowed to gamble because they are aggressive and might lose all their money in gambling, unlike older ones which thinks first before they do it again. That's actually how we can handle it, we think twice, or better, three times. It gives us time to clear our minds and maybe just walk away if we feel like we won't be winning anything for the day.

I don't bet more money than I can afford; in fact, I have a fairly wide safety margin in that regard. I could bet more, but I just do it with beer money, so I don't care if I lose. Winning isn't as exciting as if I bet larger amounts, but it's not as addictive, which is what matters, and it protects my finances.

True, there's something that will remain inside you especially if the amount of your losses is something that you are not ready to let go, you need to distract yourself and find alternative ways to earn your attention, there are gamblers who can take this route while there are who can't and will go back and re-try to win back then lose more after.

When I lose money that I could have earned through hard work, I will definitely regret it, even though I spend it for entertainment. Many people may say that if I lose the money I use in gambling, I will not regret it, but I never believe this because I earn money with great difficulty. If I lose the money I earn with my hard work, I feel a little bad at that moment. But even then, since gambling is done to pass the time in my free time, there is also profit in that case, so gambling can be done. Since there is a win or a loss, we have to accept everything and gamble, but even then gambling has to be taken responsibly. Gambling cannot be taken irresponsibly. If it is taken irresponsibly, it will cause a lot of harm to us.This topic is really for gamblers who are consistent with gambling.

It was harder for me at the beginning when I was just trying to bet, but over time you begin to understand how everything works and I treat it simply as a game that cannot cause me big losses. But with such tactics I won't get big wins either, because I very rarely bet on big odds. If I do get upset about a loss, I just get distracted by other things and quickly switch over, it's easier to forget.

Perhaps it should not, but unfortunately, not all gamblers are here knowing how to manage themselves. Many of us here are too emotional, which makes it difficult for us to control ourselves. That is why, no matter how many times we discuss this matter, many are still struggling hard. Well, we don't wonder why because most of us are here for money, thinking we could get what we want.

There are many who want to keep themselves hidden in the face of loss and many people are mentally broken if they are damaged that they keep themselves unusual from all normal activities.

The caisnos don't want you to be in control of your emotions because they know when you're in control the can't make money from you. Caisnos are into the business because they want to make money and they'll try all means that'll make them the winners while you're losing and this is why we're getting more caisnos cheating their players by tempering with their system to make them have the more favourite chances of winning instead of the players. Our losses should be handled with professionalism or we will become the next victim of gambling losses.

Ideally, a gambler must be ready with the possible win and loss. So, a gambler won't be shocked when he experiences losses. Moreover in gambling, everyone must be used to with losses because loss is something unable to avoid. In many occasions, we already talk about mentality of the gamblers. They must prepare their mentality before they join gambling. If they have weak mentality, it is better to avoid gambling. Gambling is for the people who have strong mentality only.In the case of these gamblers, the loss must be shared between family members or close relatives so that he can mentally prepare himself mentally. As long as we gamble in a proper way, we won't be involved our family members in our gambling problems. That's why we must only gamble with small amount of money and we must have some limits. This will prevent us from possible problems such as addiction and severe losses.Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: GiftedMAN on August 17, 2025, 11:53:23 PM Yes you are right, we are just interested in talking about profit but we never think about how deep our loss is. We should share about the loss and share it with friends and move forward. There are many who want to keep themselves hidden in the face of loss and many people are mentally broken if they are damaged that they keep themselves unusual from all normal activities. In the case of these gamblers, the loss must be shared between family members or close relatives so that he can mentally prepare himself mentally. This is where all the gamblers get it all wrong they spread testimonies of their small wins but never find time to talk about the losses they go through all the time, those who do not share the stories of their losses end up developing very bad feelings because of the hurts they bear and couldn't speak out but if everyone who has encountered losses could speak up without minding the reaction of friends it will take away down of the dangers they undergo in their emotions.

Post by: summonerrk on August 18, 2025, 02:49:41 PM Much has been said about the fact that after a loss, every gambler will think only about money: about how he just had it and now it is gone.
I understand that it is very difficult to convince him that the reason for sadness can be rethought and understand that, in principle, there are other interests besides money. It's just that ultimately, we do everything not for the sake of money, money is just a means to achieve our goals, and the goals themselves are different, for example, someone's goals are to raise children or make their loved ones happy or travel. And if you think about it, you can do this almost without a lot of money. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: sompitonov on August 18, 2025, 03:30:17 PM Much has been said about the fact that after a loss, every gambler will think only about money: about how he just had it and now it is gone. And I like to predict everything for the future, or rather I imagine what will happen if I lose a lot, of course I will be unhappy and to prevent this from happening I know exactly at what point I stop. Sometimes I don’t really understand those players whose passion is so wild that they are ready to bet and bet to win back. They just drive themselves into an even bigger hole from which it will be very difficult to get out. Of course, it’s easy to say that you just don’t need to lose a lot and then you won’t have to cope with it, but those who don’t try to control their losses will never learn to do it. I think professional players just understand that they need to keep themselves under control.I understand that it is very difficult to convince him that the reason for sadness can be rethought and understand that, in principle, there are other interests besides money.

Post by: purple_sparkles on August 18, 2025, 03:44:20 PM I was on vacation at a hotel with a casino, and it would have been a sin not to take the opportunity to play in a real casino. It’s a completely different atmosphere, with its own charm. Of course, for that visit I set aside a much larger amount of money than I usually allow myself to spend on gambling. There, I lost everything I brought with me, but the very atmosphere of such places pushes you to spend more. However, to say that I was upset, absolutely not. The emotions I experienced in that establishment were worth every dollar I spent.
Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: $weetne$$ on August 18, 2025, 03:51:07 PM I personally handle losses by doing push-ups haha and if I still have time to relax after maybe I play some video game for 1 hour to completely forget I had a bad pick on a bad day that ended up with a bad loss. However , for me even losing 20$ means a lot as I usually bet small amounts but overall that would be my forget about betting formula. You could also try running , play with your pets or anything that will keep your brain distracted for a while. ;D What you do basically is just a way to distract your mind, it still boils to discipline. Some people can do the same things that you do but won't be able to cope with losses they incur. A friend of mine lost some money that was quit huge, after saying that he would stop gambling permanently and focus on playing video games to distract himself, he still ended up going back into gambling. The main thing is discipline Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: rachael9385 on August 18, 2025, 03:51:28 PM Many gamblers have losses, even professionals. However its how the losses are handled that determines whether you are a pro or amateur. In many businesses there are losses that you can't control. Same with trading and same with gambling. If you are a professional you control your emotions and you encounter a loss and you treat it as a business expense and you move on to the next game. If you got too many losses you perhaps take a break for the day. Many amateurs do the complete opposite. They lose more and when they lose they get emotional and basically go on tilt and they end up betting more and more because they just want to break even. And they take bets they shoudnt be taking and eventually they go completely bust. I am pretty sure that happened to everybody here pretty much. Instead of calling them professionals I would just say that that they are experienced gamblers. Nobody can be a professional in gambling because there's no one that can predict the outcomes accurately. Those that are experienced can take their losses peacefully because they know that its a game of wins and losses. People who are not emotionally mature would keep on chasing their losses till they end up losing everything Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

People who are not emotionally mature would keep on chasing their losses till they end up losing everything You should never try to recover losses, there are many gamblers who always think that they have to get back the lost money somehow, but this is their biggest mistake, this mentality pushes them to greater losses. So you have to control your emotions and learn from the losses that losses are a normal thing here, and trying to recover these losses will bring even greater losses, so you have to accept such losses here, otherwise you have to refrain from gambling. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: LUCKMCFLY on August 19, 2025, 06:05:55 PM Indeed, the time that you already understand the postential bigger losses to come, the moment you stop and pause your session, maturing is inside you if you know how to control your emotions, eventually if you don't failed yourself in turn things to addiction that experience will guide you not continue but much better to stop your gambling and accept the losses instead of pushing forward then lose more. It is that the fact of accepting things in the game one already wins a lot, for example when we are doing anything that is part of the game I have to realize that losing is something normal, but it cannot be normal to lose all the time and a lot of money, that is why for me it is essential to manage the money for the game, hence not to go overboard, when you go overboard obviously things will get out of control, then the emotions, impulses and all these normal things we must control them, for me it is easy with the person willing to lose, others apply other things. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: rachael9385 on August 19, 2025, 06:18:19 PM For me to handle losing is to be able to accept reality, isn't the risk of losing an inevitable complement since the beginning of gambling? It doesn't matter if you are a small gambler or a big gambler as long as you can accept defeat, that is more than enough. There is no need to take difficult steps to vent, believe it or not if not you, who else can make you realize that gambling will always have something to lose. You have a point, once you accept reality then you wouldn't have a problem with losing . The reality of gambling is that it's a game of wins and losses, its possible to lose and also to win at some point. This is the reason why it's important not to take it too seriously because you already know that the outcomes can be random. Those that cannot accept defeat would always chase their losses. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: I_Anime on August 19, 2025, 06:28:29 PM Yes you are right, we are just interested in talking about profit but we never think about how deep our loss is. We should share about the loss and share it with friends and move forward. There are many who want to keep themselves hidden in the face of loss and many people are mentally broken if they are damaged that they keep themselves unusual from all normal activities. In the case of these gamblers, the loss must be shared between family members or close relatives so that he can mentally prepare himself mentally. That’s why before going to gambling you should be aware of many things like losses are inevitable so that you will be able to plan your budget properly. Like focusing more on being entertained while focusing also on proper risk management because losses will come is left for you to control it not to go overboard or to be overwhelming because if gambling keep affecting you negatively , then I don’t see any form of entertainment in it losses is not the negative affect of gambling, what am actually talking about is doing things you are not supposed to do all the name of gambling like getting violent or stealing .

One one the reasons why people lose huge amounts of money when it comes to gambling is because they expose them self too much to gambling which is caused by frequent gambling so reducing the time used in gambling is one important factor to consider Title: Re: How do you handle losses?

As long as it's within the limit that you setup then it's good to go, you just need to manage your finances to make that you are not exceeding from the amount that still allowable for you to let go, once you already exceed then there's a chance that you'll repeat things from time to time and that's not good, better to call the day and stop from what you are doing to manage your balance, assess and analyze your actions to make sure that you are still inline with your limit.

True, unfortunately, many people when they start gambling are aware that they should play just for fun, but the problem arises when they start losing. They can't accept defeats very gracefully, even if they have invested small amounts of money, something that even if they lose, they won't miss in the real world. Even so, people lose their temper, become violent, continue gambling thinking of revenge on the casino, and when the losses don't end, they destroy things in the casino. Few people can handle defeats well. That's why I always advise people not to get involved in gambling when they know they can't handle losses. Title: Re: How do you handle losses? Post by: blockman on August 19, 2025, 11:41:56 PM that is a good suggestion, loss can be managed in gambling but it will be determined by your ambition in gambling because when someone started experiencing losses in gambling, I think that what comes to the person's mind is to ensure that it has recover whatever thing that he or her lost in the gambling, but that is not the remedy, because once you continue to chase your losses we will be losing often so I think that the only way is what you suggested that the person should minimize the level of what the person's stakes so that it will not be losing much because there is no guarantee that you are going to win through gambling. It is the common mindset of all gamblers. We all want to recover what's lost to us and we'll do everything in our capacity just to take it back because that's what we like to happen. But it's true that it is not the solution that everyone needs to do. Because whatever is lost to us, we have to consider it as a lost already and recovering could come some othe day but don't do it on an instant and asap mind thinking of it. By doing that, you're only attracting more losses to come in hand as your emotion is getting through yourself and you barely recover at that moment, mentally and financially. |
