We all know how it feels when you lose a bet that you really believed in. Sometimes it hits harder when you think the amount is too big to accept, like losing $100 and it already ruins your mood. But here’s one thing that helps me calm down: I remind myself that others lose way more and still move on. Some lose $1,000 or even millions, yet they’re still out there gambling.

It’s all about mindset. Once you realize that losing is part of the game, it gets easier to accept it.
You don’t have to like it, but you can at least make peace with it.

It is natural that our mood will be spoiled by losing a large  amount of money in gambling. But what if we lose a small amount of money ? If we lose a small amoun t of money, it will not be a big loss for us. So  when I participate in  gambling, I bet a small  amount of money and participate in gambling for a long time. So even if I lose a few bets, I do not worry.

Losing  money in gambling is not a big deal. Because it mostly  depends on luck. So we should set a certain amount for our daily gambling. After losing this amount of money, we should stop  gambling and take a rest. Then we will not face any big  losses due to gambling.

Losing is part of gambling, before anyone even starts gambling, they should already be aware that losing is part of the game and there's no way they won't experience more losses than they can imagine. Knowing this, a gambler should play with the amount that they can afford to lose because that will reduce the rate at which you feel easily let go of your losses. When you stake with the amount that you could not afford to lose and you lost it, it will be difficult to easily move on.

It depends, if the amount of money you lost is that which you can afford to lose, that's not a problem because you wouldn't feel it. If it's money meant for something important, you need to rethink if those losing thousands of dollars to gambling is doing the proper thing or not. Don't say because people are losing big, therefore, you should console yourself with that because you don't know if that amount is what they can afford to lose.

I know that losing is part of the game, but it still frustrates me even if the amount is within my means. I don’t feel sad, just frustrated. So, what I sometimes do is listen to music, play games, or focus on something else to calm myself. Because if I don’t, I’ll just end up thinking about depositing again. I don’t think much about others’ losses, but when I read about someone who lost less than I did yet feels more frustrated or sad, I don’t know why, I feel a bit better compared to when I read about those who lose more. It’s like I feel nothing toward them.

Yes, it is about mindset, mindset that should tell the person or gamblers that gambling is very risky and should be done with a very little amount of money that will be so small in a way that the gambler can afford to lose the money. Dealing with losses is not something easy at all, it can make someone to be so sad and depressed for a short period of time and nothing can change that if the person lost huge amount of money.

We all have different ways of coping with losses. Personally, whenever I start gambling, I always tell to myself that this will lose and ask myself is it okay for me to lose and it wouldn't affect me. Most of the time it works since most of the money I deposit were literally an extra and it wasn't that big but there are times where I am winning and instead of withdrawing it, I gambled it and lose it and those are the times that ruins my mood but I find a way to take away my frustration or to improve my mood, it is by playing games. I choose to play something like actions games where I derived my frustration to the enemies and at the same time winning a certain goal. ;D

So they only person who can overcome is you. You need to figure out what ways would you calm yourself after losing, some of them sleeps or eats.

One thing that helps me move on with gambling losses is that, once I have placed a bet I already considered the money as lost. If by luck I win the bet I celebrate and be happy for that, because I know that gambling is more of losses than winning. Since they say in gambling we should only gamble with money we can afford to lose. I do my analysis very well before placing my bet, but since there is no guarantee that I will win it, I just say to myself you have lost this money. So I already moved on hours before the actual loss will happen.

Losing in gambling is inevitable, we can never do away from it because that's also part of the whole gambling experience, however it's advisable not to be disturb or worried about our losing time because no matter how worried you are it can't bring back those lost games rather will make you to be more emotional and as a result you start going aggressively which could be very dangerous to you.

Furthermore, it's best allowing our loss game memories slide because the next take can be your pay day.
For me even if I lost I don't get worked up because I know that's how the game is, time to lose and time to win.

Everyone who bets knows that losing is a normal thing here but people bet for the purpose of winningIf we give an example about sports betting then a gambler thinks a lot and chooses a team and bets for that team. Until the end of the match he thinks he will win but when it is seen that he has lost the bet then it is normal for him to get upset but that is where the problem lies when a gambler cannot control this upset or bad feeling after losing then he makes various wrong decisions it is seen that he bets more money to withdraw his previous money or he feels good when he wins so he does not start betting uncontrollably as a result he falls into an addiction in the world of betting and in the future it causes him a lot of losses.

You know where the problem lies always is many people do not believe they can be losers, they see losing in gambling as something that can be avoidable and not otherwise. Losing in gambling is actually inevitable, it is not something you can run from and that is one you have to prepare your mind against it from day one instead of having false thoughts that you could run a gambling career without failing in it.

The mindset must be correct and defeat is a risk that must be accepted, one must not think only victory can they receive, if there are people who are like really very egiois and do not think rationally if they only accept victory, no matter how much money you lose you should already know that you will lose and lose everything, so before gambling must set that thought in your mind.

Most people seem to only think that they will win at gambling and ignore the probability of their losses at gambling so that the reaction when they lose, disappointed, sad, frustrated and want to return their losses which leads to gambling that cannot be stopped because they want to take the money they have lost in the previous game which can result in even more losses.

This is the reason why they mostly advised people to gamble with what they can afford to lose than gambling to chase profits, what you just put down here is about gambling and chasing the winning instead of gambling for the fun. When you gamble with at least 1 percent of your monthly income or weekly come you would never attached so much meaning when you lose at least a percentage of your weekly income to gambling, but whenever you are gambling with an amount higher than you projected then it comes something to worry your emotions about because you went so higher than expected.

Yeah I get it, it’s really dangerous when we can’t accept our losses. I’ve seen a lot of gamblers who end up addicted just because they can’t control their emotions, they keep chasing their losses thinking they can get it back.

For me it’s all about mindset, in gambling, winning and losing streaks are both normal. So, if you get too happy when you win, you’ll also get too sad when you lose, that’s why I always try to keep a positive mindset, just stay calm and move on, win or lose.

You will eventually have to accept that losing is a part of gambling, everybody loses some more than others, if you are gambling with the mindset that you won't lose then you are bound to get disappointed when the reality hits you, you should already be mentally prepared to lose regardless of how sure you are about the game, if it's a casino bet then you already know you can't predict your victory, if it's sports betting then human factor/error will always get in the way, understand this and loses won't hit as hard anymore.

Accepting is indeed the easiest to move on. Based on my experience, having a bankroll that I’m okay to lose is the most easiest way to move on with losses without any reasoning that requires to be more creative.

I usually just stop thinking about it after my bet because I easily accept the result since there’s no merit on lingering the missed bets if this will just makes me in bad mood.

Eventually, if we mature then yes, we will just accept that fact that losing is inevitable, and think that maybe one day, you can go back and win x folds on that amount you win. Or just take a sleep and not think about it and when I wake up, I feel fine and not thinking of that lost.

Everything is mindset, if you want to achieved something in your life, you need to shift your mindset. So similar in gambling, it might not be easy for some specially those who lose big amount of money, but that's the very definition of gambling, so we should learn how to accept defeat.

It may get easier for a very short amount of time but over the long run this is not something that can make you feel less sad than other people who gamble much more money. It was such consecutive losing sessions in gambling that made me really sad and I quit gambling in big amounts, I keep playing in rare chances but overall I have stopped completely. I didn't care about anything at such time, if people lost even billions, it would not made me less sad at that day, so for me I would say that when you only lose once you can think of other people losing millions and forget about it though when you keep losing nothing makes you less sad.

That’s exactly what I have been telling people but they don’t seem to understand what gambling is about. For some weird reason many people think gambling is a job where they can earn money. I hate to break it to them but gambling is not a job. They’ll have to take some losses eventually and those might become so big, they might never recover from it. Everything becomes much easier and stress-free once you realize that you accept those facts and move on. These people also don’t want to work to make money but they think their problems will go away once one of their bets wins big time. They’ll don’t understand money can easy come but easy come also easy go. Winning big is definitely not nothing but keeping them riches where it gets hard, it is the real endgame.

Why not prevent it instead? There won't be any need to learn how to calm yourself after losing money.


Ways to prevent sadness as a gambler.

1. Use only what you can afford to lose, 1% of your monthly income is a good way to start.
2. Avoid debts and loans.
3. Don't sell a valuable asset or property because of gambling.
4. Don't be greedy.

It is best to also have a job before you consider gambling, if you don't have a job and you go for gambling it is very possible that you keep having a bad day, losing is very possible in gambling and winning is not always possible, imagine you have no job but some last money on you and you choose to risk it on gambling, if you lose such money it will affect you more than someone who is expecting income in the coming week or following month.

The most important thing all gamblers need, is accepting any outcome without thinking of getting back your money. Although it might seem difficult for many gamblers but that's how gambling was meant to be, since the winning depends on luck the best way for a gambler to gamble responsibly without getting caught up on the way is to accept any result and move on because there are gamblers that are staking more than you do, but they are not too worried about it because they know that losing is part of the game.

It only becomes difficult if you don’t recognize your losses or you’re just being unrealistic. But if you think like a pro, happy with small wins then it’s easier to accept the losses. At the end of the day, what matters is that your bankroll grows in the long run. But if you’re just a casual bettor with no long-term plan, then it’s easy to lose control anytime.

Is never easy seeing your self losing it will ruin you off that day expecially if the amount is too big ,but to we who has been gambling for years now we see it as normal things because someone must lose for others to rejoice, someday too you will win why others feel bad is just what we see in gambling arena ,is used to us ,except the newbies in the system of gambling that will feel it to their heart ,if we lose we take it common as normal things , because if you don't take things that way you might die before your time.

It's really cool that you can reassure yourself like that, but it doesn't work for me at all, because often I think that if I'm sad right now because I lost even $50 on betting, it means that this money is really important to me, and it doesn't really matter to me that someone else loses even $100,000, because for them, most likely, it might not be a lot of money at all, if they're such an influential rich person, like Drake, and I'm worried that my financial situation has gotten even worse.

After all, we should gamble what we can afford to lose, so with that, we all know that the money won't affect us. But the problem is that sometimes we do that, but then again, there are cases that we can't accept that defeat and deposit for more.

So it's going to be roller coaster emotions if we lose, that's why it's just not to accept it, but to control and not let our emotions take the better of us and not thinking to gamble for more. Man up, and just move on and not think of your big losses. Or maybe if you have time then just take a walk around your neighborhood so that you will not be having that thoughts in a day. Just relax and everything will be all right.

Yes you are right,losing is part of the game that's why is called gambling you see even the owner of the betting company don't even know how to predict to win big but he has it as a business,he many times he has also lost if those who has bet company tell you things they see you can't believe it ,many of them go out even banhs tj loan money to support their bet company,them also they lose so losing in the world of gambling is natural, nobody can dispute that because we see that gambling is part of fun ,yes is fun let's nobody push you for wrong behavior concerning bet,if you fail today accept it tomorrow might be okay.

Just remember to FEEL the sadness before trying to calm yourself and try to logic yourself out of it, because you didn't logic yourself into it. It's normal response of your body and mind and by avoiding it, you are only fooling yourself. Your feeling is relevant even if someone else is feeling worse. There's a good reason you are feeling it and necessary for your whole body to process it.

Otherwise there's no lesson to learn here, and that lesson isn't "how to win more", but learning about consequences of betting too much. That "too much" is obviously relative to your budget.

It is about mindset, right, but one also needs to consider money and it's value could be also relative to each one of us, for the rich 1000$ is nothing, while for others 1000$ is a little fortune, specially in developing countries where salaries are bad.

In my personal opinion, it is better to have a mentality in which one gets detached from one's wager before we start betting on sports or gambling on casino games. If one feels bad for losing money then maybe that money was never intended to be risked in gambling or betting.

You dont have to put hopes in gambling because it cant be predicted and anything can happen in gambling.
This is why you need to gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose. Don't joke with gambling risk if you know you are not ready to to easily forget about it.
You dont need to use the lose of others to give yourself hope in gambling when you lose because we all are not the same.  People may lose huge amount in gambling and wont be a problem to them because they can afford.  If you cant afford to lose it and you game with it and lose at the end. Trying to use the lose of others to comfort yourself wont work because it is always painful to lose what you dont have in gambling.
You just need to accept losing is part of the game and if you dont want to feel bad or emotional about your lose in gambling,  just go for your limits when it comes finance. The amount that you can afford to lose and also, never to have much expectation from gambling.

Not everyone knows about the gambler's finances even if they lose more than $1000 they may still have money, while we with a loss of $100 is equivalent to 2 weeks of food so it will feel sorry to bet a large amount especially when losing.
And indeed thinking about other people losing a lot can still continue to live but what about ourselves who cannot accept the fact of losing, of course the resentment will always be there.
Therefore, gambling with a small amount I think it will not feel excessive loss.

You started by saying something very important, but that most gamblers ca not accept... "loss is part of the game", this is very important for anyone to maintain their sanity because losing is what will happen most often to any gambler, and the loss will be greater and greater the more irresponsible the gambler is, trying to recoup losses and increasing their bets without a strategy. You ca not ignore the bad feeling, you have to accept the frustration and process each loss calmly, intelligently, see what you did wrong and how to correct it, because otherwise it turns into an impulse to do more wrong things.

My advice is... if you gambled impulsively... if you dont has a strategy, or even if you had a strategy but were not prepared to a big loss happend... then turn off the computer (or cell), go for a walk or find a punching bag and take out all your anger on it :P

Going back to gambling without a clear head is the worst thing any gambler can do

You should realize that losing is part of gambling. You may lose money but you can manage how much you lose and stop gambling. No need to force yourself to keep playing because that can make you lose more. That is about mindset so you should realize that losing money should not be a big deal. You control yourself and determine the loss of money. It needs discipline to manage the loss because there will be temptation that will make you keep playing.

It still hurts if the amount you lose —even if it's small —is not something you want to lose, even if you think that there are other big losers. Your losses hurt you when you don't want them, but if you are ok with them, you don't have to think of the other losses.
I have seen people mad about losing a few dollars and people still joking that they lost five grand; it's not really the amount, but how you treat your losses.
You have to address both losses and winnings, because they are inevitable.

To calm yourself down, you have to be experienced. If you lose your first bet, your mind will not calm down easily. That is why you have to get used to losing more and more bets. You will see that your mind will not be disturbed anymore, everything will seem normal. Such an incident happened to me too, when I did badly in the exam, I used to regret it a lot and feel upset, but now I have got used to it. In my life, studies and exams also seem like bets.

Why would I even be gambling and risking an amount of money I know within myself that I really can not afford to lose? Why not simply spend only that amount you are sure you can comfortable forget and move on from if lost to gambling?
This is why it is often said that bad history will continue to repeat because men have refused to listen and do things differently.

When you build a mindset that leaves you believing that it's OK to lose an amount of money you ordinarily cannot afford to lose due to your financial level because other gamblers are losing that same amount and even more and they are not shaking, you are fooling yourself because you forget to realize that those who lose far more money and don't feel it may be x1000 or more richer, wealthier than you are, of which that amount they lost may be like $0.001 compared to over all weekly or monthly earning...

Never get comfortable losing a huge sum of money to gambling simply because are doing so, check your financial abilities and ensure that you do not continually lose an amount that could leave you poor for as long as you live.

If you don't treat gambling as a way to make money and don't spend amounts that could affect your well-being and financial situation later, then there won't be any drama. The problem is that some people think they can win big one day and are completely unable to control their emotions when risking large sums of money. Even if this happens, you must accept everything that ultimately happens as your own choice, and blaming yourself only causes you more pain. Learn to take your actions; yes, you made a mistake, and this is your experience; move on without regret.

I don't know how people gamble without accepting the facts, in gambling losing is one those occurrence we must expect at anytime, irrespective of how convinced we could be with our bets, we should never forget that losing may occur unannounced, with this mindset we wouldn't feel unpleasant when it occurs, I has been said over and over again that as gamblers, it is very much adviceable for us not to go into gambling with the mindset of making it a source of our income, this will help us not to gamble with any amount we know that we can't easily let go.

When we bet with an amount that won't stress you out, the only thing you'll feel in loss is disappointment. With a little joke or some other activities, you can easily forget it. But you might be right, it all depends on our mindset. If we don't take betting too seriously or see it as a business that must generate profits, we will be fine with gambling even if we lose.

The mindset that keeps you sane in this game once you start seeing losses as just another possible outcome instead of a personal failure it changes how you handle everything a lot of people lose their balance because they keep chasing every loss thinking the next bet will fix it but it rarely does that’s where frustration and addiction start to build up.

Like you said some people are losing thousands every day and still manage to move on not because they enjoy it but because they already accepted that gambling isn’t guaranteed profit it’s just entertainment mixed with risk the moment you make peace with losing it stops controlling your emotions. And really that’s what separates a calm gambler from a reckless one if you can take a loss smile a bit and walk away knowing you played within your limits then you’re already ahead of most people who keep trying to win back what’s gone at the end of the day it’s all about enjoying the experience not letting it ruin your peace of mind.

I like that mindset. I used to do that, but not anymore. It's easier for me to accept the losses now because I don't bet that big anymore.

But truly, that's a good perspective to help get over the frustration of losing, especially if it is not just one bet but a losing spree from casino games. I have seen many gamblers in the chat who say they have never even experienced max wins in slots, which means they have been spending a lot, and yet nothing good comes.

Imagine them. Then, compare ourselves.

As we all know as well losses are inevitable in gambling, no matter how much you tend to try to get over it you still can't eliminate the fact you encounter a loss and it's gonna make you feel sad. But there are measures to limit that while you feel safe gambling which includes taking a little break after wards and be calm when gambling and loosing cause it's part of the deal.

Funny enough even those with long term goals don't always end with profits, majority bankroll dries up very fast. The best i can say concerning gambling is treating it as casually possible, don't read much interest whether for long term goals or short term profits, the losses are more even with descent strategies, the luck that comes with gambling differs, so everyone should rather gamble with what they can loose and if the profits keep coming, better off.

In general just gamble within your means.
To avoid all of this dramas, it is best that we only gamble what we can afford to lose and this very consciousness makes me only gamble with money I already know that wouldn’t hurt me if lost but on the other way round, some persons do see gambling as a money doubler opportunity and a bet rich quick scheme where they can gamble within a certain amount and expect the game to play by all means forgetting that anything can happen in gambling.

The moment you lose an amount, please always tell yourself the truth and if the money was met for something else, please desist from trying to gamble more to recover the previous loss because you might end up losing more than you can ever imagine.

Unfortunately if you are sad it means that you spent money that you couldn't spend, sorry you lost
The problem comes from there, only play what you can afford to lose and play for fun not to make money
If you play to make money you will obviously be disappointed and also poor

Why do i feel this is very wrong to use as a way to comfort yourself after a loss. Do you know, you might keep losing huge money, back to back, to a point you get addicted or perhaps be in a situation here gambling has ruined your life. Whatever, we all have our own way to console ourselves. If this works for you, good luck. I am 100% sure it wont work for e. What will help calm me down after a loss is the knowledge I have about gambling. Knowing that gambling has to do with profit/loss. The staked amount should not be so big that i cant afford to lose.

By any way I lose huge money in gambling. I have to tell myself the truth while i feel guilt for my reckless attitude. This will make me try not to repeat such mistake again.

There is no guarantee to succeed in gambling, and this why it is described as a game of luck.

Gambling is a game of trial and error, and for you to have peace of mind, you have to understand that winning is not guaranteed and secondly, while gambling, only gamble with the amount of money you can afford to loose, this way , you will be quickly relieved. But when you game with your savings, or money that is meant for a project, loosing such money can give room to heart break or hypertension, and do not dear such thing.

Furthermore, it is wrong to gamble everytime, as you gamble, sometimes take a break because persistent gambling will always keep your mind unrest, more especially when you are loosing.

If we carelessly gamble and lose huge amount we cant afford to take, then this can be so difficult to control over, our mind will always be going back on it that we could have not taken such bet, some will take some liquor and get drunk and still yet, this does not solve the problem, because after their tipsy, they still come back to the actual reality of what has happened, we cant allow depression to go over us for taken risk we cant afford to bear, that is why the earlier the better for us to avoid on such right from the start.

After losing money gambling, I try to step away and breathe. I remind myself that what’s done is done and getting upset won’t change it. Sometimes I go for a walk, listen to music, or talk to someone I trust.

It helps to think about what I could do differently next time and focus on other things that make me feel good. Most of all, I try to forgive myself and move on.

In gambling, you can not expect that it is going to be a case of all win through out, if that is your line of taught, then you will most like not have the right mindset and approach to a healthy gambling live style, if you win, don't feel too excited or think that you have become invincible and will continue with the streak of wins alone, always have i tin mind that a day and time will come when you are going to loose too.

Coming to peace that you are bound to loosing at some point will also help you get get your greed under control and reduce you risk  and addictive tendencies if you are able to accept all of this then it is going to be a basically fair gambling habit and activities over all.

Emotional maturity will make a gambler who just lost their funds to say, 'better luck next time,' and then move on to either replay, play other games or quit for the day.

Gambling isn't a do or die affair and as we know the house always has an advantage over the player because they are the bookmakers of the odds you pick and you as a gambler have a 10% chance of luck out of 100%.
 This being made clear centers on one fact and that is that, no one should consider a loss too great to be suicidal over or angry over. The worst is to start chasing the loss and that's how some get poorer than they already are, and that's why chasing losses is very disastrous.

You are doing the right way. Whenever I gamble, I end up with getting something quite decent out of that by having fun n watching that game, which means that I paid a ticket price basically and I have fun with that. I know that this isn't going to be easy, but I am pretty sure that we are going to end up with some great results if we are careful. For that reason I believe it's going to be costing a ton of money for most people to bet just to win money since that's rarely ever possible, like a lottery.

So in the end, if we are just focusing on having fun then there is no need we should be considering the situation that bad, we can make sure that this can do a very fine job by just having fun and considering the bet as just ticket price.

The way I think about calming myself down when I lose may be different from yours, I always think positively about gambling, where gambling is always identified as a game, where in a race there are winners and losers.

This means: if there is a competition for us to win, of course we have to study the competition. If I really don't know the competition, of course I don't want to have anything to do with the competition.

With my way of thinking like that, if I lose I think my fate is not on my side, of course I will try in the next race, from the mistakes I make of course I can learn better at gambling.

Anything you think can calm you down after losing should be adopted if it doesn’t have a harmful effect. When people use drugs or drink alcohol to feel good after losing, I see it as unnecessary. This is because these habits could be harmful. Your style is commendable and could help reduce the pain and regret. But you should also know that those people who lost more money might also be earning more than you. So it is key to gamble with what you can afford to lose.

Everyone who gambles certainly doesn't want to lose their money, but it's inevitable. Therefore, if we truly want to gamble, we should be prepared to lose. Rather than being unable to accept defeat, this will only trigger emotions and lead to uncontrollable emotions, leading to a mindset that encourages us to continue gambling in order to win enough to cover our losses. This only leads to greater losses.

Dwelling on the loss won't improve the situation, so it's better to ignore it and not let it weigh you down. No matter how much money you've lost, don't think about chasing a win.

I think it's not about mindset, but about how much we can afford to lose.
If someone loses $1,000 but is okay with it, that's an amount they can afford to lose because their wealth is certainly greater than that.
But if someone is very sad when they lose $100, it's because it's an amount they can't afford to lose, perhaps because they went into debt or because they were gambling hoping to double their winnings to pay for something more important.
Gamblers who have assets of hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, losing $1000 certainly won't hurt them different from small gamblers.

Sometimes, even if we say we can afford our loss, it still doesn’t guarantee that it’s easy for us to accept it. when we gamble, we’re also thinking about the amount we’re betting, which is something that could affect our mood or happiness. otherwise, we’d just bet a small amount.

But for me, if i don’t feel the thrill, i’d rather not bet at all. it should always go together - feel the thrill, and bet only what you can afford to lose.

You're absolutely right this is exactly the mindset of all gamblers. Take for example: if you start gambling with greed in your heart, you know for sure that if you lose, you won’t be able to control your emotions because you weren’t ready to lose a big amount.

But if you accept from the beginning that you might lose, yet still choose to play anyway it means you understand what you’re stepping into. As long as your mindset is clear:
whether you win or lose, you’re at peace with it. And if you no longer have money to gamble with? You just stop. That’s all you do, right?

The only way I know is quit for some time and readjust your gambling strategy, everyone don't want to lose their money but they are willing to risk it on gambling with the hope that they won't lose it, the question is if its possible not to lose money.

Many gamblers failed to accept the reality of gambling, if not, many won't risk money that they aren't ready to lose on gambling, losing is inevitable in this space, I don't have mercy on gamblers that lost money because they don't understand what they are getting into.

People don't ask themselves, how much can I really afford to lose? It doesn't matter if your bet is the most certain of all, anything can still change in short period of time before the game is over.

These are all fleeting feelings, and I think those who experience major losses also feel sadness and regret, but that doesn't stop them from gambling again because those feelings are temporary.
I've had a similar experience, but I often gamble at night, and when I lose a lot of money, I definitely feel sad and regretful. But when I fall asleep and wake up the next morning, those feelings are gone because I have to focus on work and continue like that. That doesn't stop me from continuing to gamble, but I also have to learn from my mistakes and be more careful and thorough the next time I gamble, to minimize or avoid major losses.

I wouldn't focus too much on others' behaviors. It's not because everyone does something that it should become reference for something. Rather, you should develop a mindset of focusing on yourself: your personal limits, responsabilities and capacities. If you gamble only what you can afford to lose, you shouldn't feel sad when losing it, because it was a calculated move you took. You knew the risks and allocated only a portion of money you wouldn't miss later.

Even though everyone is entitled to his decision and should be ready to embrace the outcome of such decisions, i do not think that this kind of mentality is a good one. so what you are saying is that because some people are using money that is meant for important things to gamble that you can go on to do that kind of thing and not feel remorseful because others are doing it? fact is that though thousand can be doing it but it does not in any way make it right. your strategy should be based on the fact that it works for you and not just because others are doing it. i do not agree with this method of calming yourself down.

What helps me calm myself down after a loss is just trying to trick my mind that I would have spent that money on something else and it wasn't meant to be in my possession forever. But here's the thing, no matter what we tell ourself to feel better or sleep well at night there's nothing you can do to shake off that feeling completely, a loss is a loss and the only thing that can actually help you get over it completely is time. They say that time heals all wounds that's not just a random statement it's fact. As time goes on you would forget about it.

Personally, if I am in a losing position, I prefer to divert myself to other things that make my mind calmer and not continue to be fixated on the loss. Usually I will take a break to play badminton with my friends so that my mind can be distracted. After playing my mind is clearer and my body is fitter.

If you keep thinking about the loss and choose to think about it alone, then you will never be able to get out of that cycle of stress and frustration, and you may choose to gamble again to chase the loss. It's best to find friends or other activities that are more productive, so you can be calmer and not think too much about it.

No one wants to lose their hard earned money because it is their hard earned money. But there are many people who gamble to earn money and lose their money. And it is normal to feel sad after losing money. In that case, I would say if someone loses money from their discretionary income then they can console themselves very easily but if a person loses money beyond their discretionary income or necessary then it is very difficult to calm their mind. Then a person starts blaming their luck. As you said comparing with others, you said comparing with others can hide their pain but I would say if they compare themselves with the success of others then they will suffer more. What a person can do after losing money is to focus on their work and try to forget about it.

If you don't want to lose money it's better not to bet, it will only make you dizzy when you lose money in gambling, regardless of the amount in the end it's the same.

Losing money, losing, losing is the risk of gambling activities, so inevitably must be accepted because that is the risk, if you don't want to lose a lot of money then you should set a limit on the amount of your bet, too confident will get money in gambling just that knife will stab himself to feel disappointed by gambling and blame gambling is a fraud.

Everyone deals with losses differently, for me i just prefer to use an amount of money that I can afford to lose so just in case I end up losing it i don't get affected that much, it's better than risking a huge amount of money and then start dealing with unwanted thoughts in my head.. its actually very simple, don't stake amounts that you know you would end up regretting if you lose, gamble responsibly

After a loss, I usually take a short break, step away from the screen, review my last few bets, and remind myself it’s part of variance. Chasing losses never helps; analysis does. Sometimes I recheck my staking logic to see if I stuck to my plan.

What’s your go-to reset method after a tough losing streak?

If you practice this with your gambling then you must be doing the worse mistake because you forgot bankrolls differs which those who looses more than yours can actually afford their losts.
If you can also be honest, you will agree with me that most of them who let go the looses does not even find it too so difficult to let go as you.

The best to keep going over your lost bets whether or was nearly to win or you lost a huge amount is to admit that before you placed the bet (s), you have already decided that loosing is an option even if winning was the goal so that you don't get weigh down when the negative outcome happens.

To calm yourself after a defeat, take a breath and express feelings to keep the emotions stable. Calm your senses through music and nature, take time to normalize and heal the damage. Refocus on small steps and be kind to yourself. Slowly look ahead and find new meaning or peace.

At first, the amount gambled is a factor that would also determine how you react to a game if you lose. Little wonder it is advised to always gamble with funds we can lose because of situations as this. However, if you can compare your loss with other gamblers who bet bigger amounts than you, it is alright, but do not forget that such amount they had bet can be what they can afford to lose, so do not feel comparing your loss with theirs could be of comfort, but it can be of relief though. In all, it is wise to gamble with what you can afford to lose, so you do not look for ways to comfort or calm yourself after a loss, and also know that gambling is for fun and not for profit-making.

90 percent of the time I gamble for fun only so I don't really have to do much to get over the feeling of what I lost. One way to move on from it is to just accept it, this is part of the game and it cannot be averted. Let it register in your mind that the same way you happily accept your profits is the same way you must accept your losses when it comes. Gambling is a game of wins and losses, just ensure you always gamble responsibly

This is a healthy perspective to look at it. In gambling losses are part of it, and growing to accept them not allowing emotions over take is what differentiates disciplined bettors from careless ones.
Reminding yourself that certain lose equally helps to keep things in perspective, yet what really matters is remaining on the set limits you can afford. As soon as you treat losses as lessons rather than personal failures, it makes it easier to be calm and make wiser decisions next time.

I do have this feeling but there is a mix up sometimes, I do tell my self that I loss what I can afford to lose, what other people lost is what they were able to bet so the pain comes back. Though, I still find my ways around of and forget about everything like it never happened, life happens and we just have to move on like it's nothing, I do even remember the days I win good money and I promise myself to make that kind of money again but it's not going to be that moment to avoid more loss.

Another I do is I delete the betting app on my phone like nothing happened. Yes, I give it a rest, the fact that I don't see it on my face makes me focus on new things and do other things. Sometimes it's not even about what I wager, the pain comes from when you had the opportunity to make good money, one foolish team ruin everything for you. Like yesterday, Olympiakos and PSV are both useless team, over 2.5 ruin everything, even Liverpool I was doubting made me love them more for winning Real Madrid.

What help me most is that before placing the bet or any gambling game the amount am using have already be counted lost so that if the out comes out negative it doesn't border to think again. However over assurance towards a bet or gambling game that it will turned out win is the courses of the depression many gambler faces after lossing as expectations is cut short. I have one alternative that also help not discussing the lossing with many people as it will remind me of the lost but stay around where some comic and funny person hang around to forget the feeling of the lost through the funny comedy lifestyle.

Losing is painful no matter how small the amount is, this is why we have to plan for it since is it inevitable. One thing that is certain is that the higher the amount lost, the more the pain which is why we must gamble strictly within what we can bear. You can accept that losing is part of betting but if you do no only put amount you can bear, you can lose yourself in the process. But if you gamble with amount that is not so big compared to what you have, you can easily forget about the loss and plan for other things to do.

That's true, though, but as for me, I cannot compare myself with other gamblers that have lost millions on gambling because right now, millions is not the amount that I can afford to lose while gambling. However, many gamblers lose a lot of money, but truth be told, it's important to gamble with what you can afford to lose so that you don't get panicked at the end of everything. Most gamblers lose a lot of money, which they cannot afford to lose, and at the end they do some unimaginable things. For me, I'm always conscious of what I'm staking so that I won't lose a lot of money.

While that comparison gives the relief after losing but if someone has lost entirely his bankroll, that's a different thing. Because the others who are losing thousands to millions could still be fine after that lost, that very gambler might not be and that's probably the last thing that he's got with his bankroll. One way to accept it is to stand up on that chair, get out of the room and try to walk for few steps and that will reduce the stress and frustration. Many doesn't know that with simple walking, it's going to release their stress and that will make it as another way to easier accept defeat.

Personally, apart from just accepting that losing is part of gambling, I've read before that one of the best things you can do to calm yourself is to do something that you like that would distract you from the loss, and once you cool off, you'll be able to tackle whatever feelings you are feeling more clearly. I'm not sure if it would work for everyone since different people would probably have different reactions to it, but scientifically, it can be a great way to regulate your emotions.

If you kneeling based on other people loosing streaks to help you survive your heart break then that's not proper, other people's losses shouldn't be the medium of your happiness and sadness or a medium of comparing your winning or losses, it will actually steal your joy to be frankly speaking.
The easiest way to calm oneself is accepting the fact that you lost, receive the emotional pains you feel that time, and feel it with the fullest spectrum, allow time to heal you and then move on.

Not comparing your loss to another person is a high form of selfcare, staying through to yourself and pardoning yourself for making mistakes while healing through it is the best thing to do.

So you are applying psychological coping defence called Downward Social Comparison in your situation just to comfort you in times you losses something you can't afford to lose.  Well, if it works for you then that's good but we cannot deny the fact that if only we gamble responsbily then we could have avoided this worse situation.


True, it is all about mindset.  A person can laugh it off even if he sold a house and lost it all in gambling since he trained his mindset that everything is ok. 

In my case, when I lose a bet, I remain in the same good mood I had before placing the bet. Perhaps this happens because I don't set high expectations for my bets, also because I only wager amounts of money that I can afford to lose, and also because I view gambling only as entertainment. I always advise people not to take gambling too seriously, just to see it as entertainment, and to only wager amounts of money that they can afford to lose. If people do this, they will see that they won't need to worry every time they lose at gambling.

This isn't for gamblers and, as you rightly pointed out, for those who can control their emotions. There aren't many such players, because gambling is often driven by a desire to win, and they lack self-control. Those who can do this likely limit their losses per session or play time because they understand that if they exceed these limits, even those with complete self-control can be driven out of their rut. Gambling has driven me crazy several times, and I don't want to repeat that, because it was too costly for me.

No one to calm yourself down in gambling than what you can offer yourself, try as much as you can to be a responsible gambler that will need more one to advise on calmness, if we don't go beyond our abilities, then things wouldn't ha e gone wrong for us in gambling that we needed someone to pity on us, the calmness needed starts from what we have given our own self than what others may try to give us when it's already too late.

The only reason why people get too disappointed, upset and sometimes frustrated is because they often set way too much expectations for themselves when they gamble as if gambling have some surety or guarantee for profitability. This makes them to often sideline the possibilities of potential losses, and when their mind is focused and completely fixed on winning and they get the opposite result, they become very disappointed and overreact.

Exactly losing is also part of the game,it is more important for a gambler to accept he's losses and move on.Though we are humans and we have feelings,so most times it hurts when we loss a bet no matter how small it may be,but on the other hand our losses shouldn't affect our mental health because it may lead to chasing losses and other negative impact.Whenever I want to stake a bet,I don't act overconfident because I don't know if the outcome may work out as I've planned,so the best thing I do is to always tell myself that even if it doesn't workout as planned I can't reverse what has already happened,so this mindset has been helpful all the way.

Before you’ll want to accept that losing is part of the game, you also need to accept that you should only gamble with the amount you can afford to lose and not just any amount you’ll wager into the game. Losing is part of the game and that’s undeniably the true of the matter, but if there was a way to limit the losses, it is better to embrace that technique and make the best out of the game you’re betting on. If you keep thinking about the losses of others only, it’ll only make you to feel encouraged to bet more but not encouraged to minimize your losses on what you wager in a game.

That should work, as I already know that losing is part of the game. I try as much as I can not to stake an amount that will ruin my whole day if it's lost, and if I eventually lose that little staked amount on a nearly won game (near misses), it might add to how I react to the loss, but I will definitely get over it easily based on what I have seen: people who don't earn like me yet lose more than I could only imagine and yet pull out strong.

One thing that can just help solve this problem is for you to take preventive measures have a gambling budget and use the amount of money that you're capable of losing, because when you fail to do this, then the rest becomes the case, that's when you start to talk about finding a way to calm yourself down. The best thing to do as a gambler or while you indulge in gambling activities is try to have a source or sources of income because it's difficult to forget such big money when you lose it ,because that's when you will remember exactly what problem you would have used that money to solve; that's when you would start remembering things that the money would have done for you.

When we gamble, we must be prepared to bear all the risks involved and the potential loss. I can feel the profound sadness you feel when losing money in gambling it's truly an uncomfortable feeling. You're not alone in this experience almost all gamblers feel the same way the problem lies solely in the amount of money involved. That's why when we gamble with high hopes of winning the money we desire, gambling should be purely for entertainment.

It is true that knowing others are losing too will help to deal with the loss especially by accepting it but that shouldn't be like that. Someone might lose the same money which is $100 but it doesn't make a big difference for them because it is an amount that is negligible for them like just spending it on coffee, and for others it might be a whole week's salary. Know your limits and avoid betting an amount that you didn't want to lose no matter how sure that you are going to win that bet.

Losing is an inevitable part of gambling and we have even realized that most of the results of gambling are losses, therefore to reduce accepting large losses that cannot be accepted is by gambling according to ability, a simple and very common way, but most gamblers still cannot apply this limit and still cannot accept defeat due to greed.

It's a great way to get the most out of your time and effort, and it's a great way to get the most out of your time and effort, and it's a great way to get the most out of your time and effort.

If we are mentally prepared enough with this and accept even if we lose with a large nominal maybe it is not a problem even though there is a little tightness that will be felt but when something like this actually makes us someone who is different from the treatment we should get around so that this condition does not occur.
The choice is to set a losing limit according to the tolerance we have or not to do this but will not be too disappointed with the final result of gambling (including the possibility of losing a large amount). That's the choice to make and we as gamblers who consider ourselves adults should be able to choose both options carefully.

This works for me, I do things to distract that very moment of losing streak. And I do the same thing when the market is so bad upon looking at it.

So, I don't do a lot of things just for me to get distracted but it's more with gaming. It's a good way to distract ourselves from these bad moments.

Bad market, bad gambling, losing streak, disappointing charts and other frustrating things that are happening. It's a good outlet to release the cortisol and lower its level.

You have said it all. The mindset of the individual gambler  matters allot.
What was really in the mind of the gambler from the beginning of the gamble?
Was it a win or win ?
Or it was A win or loss mindset?

Those who have a win or win mindset might find it  hard to recover if they loose because all their minds have been fixed on a must win.
Yhe win or loss mindset set will come out easily because he has made up his mind to accept any outcome of the game

I think with that kind of mindset, you’re basically pushing yourself to keep gambling no matter how much you lose. Honestly, that’s not great in the long run, cause it might make you gamble even more and keep thinking other people have lost more than you anyway.

For me, the easiest way to get over losing or feeling down after a bad run is simple, just bet small and set a limit on how much you’re okay with losing. That way, every loss won’t hit you too hard. Remember, sometimes you don’t need to deal with disappointment after it happens, it’s better to stop it before it even does.

You try to forget about the game that you have losti by engaging yourself into other activities, be with your families and friends that will cheer you up, most times when I have lost a game that is so painful to me I engage myself with my kids in other for me to be able to overcome that thinking, their disturbance make you forget and list focus when thinking about a particular things .

We all know that losing money in gambling is normal but at times when we feel and tend to win a particular game and did not come, we feel so bad and disappointed that our emotions takes a greater part of us that is always noticeable by everyone.

To feel disappointed is quite normal, but to feel regret seems not to be a good sign anymore.
Our actions and mindset affect our behavior. In order not to feel too bad, we need to set our minds to thinking that we just gamble for fun. Avoid expecting too much and only spend a small amount.

Don't pressure ourselves to think about winning because it is not given to all. To accept losses doesn't mean we are too unlucky. Maybe our time hasn't just come yet. So we have to take it easy in gambling and not take it seriously.

Normal, that's all about gambling; it's either winning or losing, so this should be the part of things that they should also put in their mind that will happen. Because at times whenever we come to do it, if we don't lose, we won't get the experience about it, so this loss also makes them get more experience about the gambling; even those that are disturbed much whenever they lose mostly are those that are still new to the gambling.

Yeah, that is how the gambling goes, but the only thing is that sometimes the money they lose is bigger than what they win every week. Because at times some will lose a big amount of money, and it will take a very long time before they can recover it back.

You are absolutely right. Everyone is on a different financial level. Thereby using someone else loss to categorize yourself in a certain class is wrong. The amount he loss might just be someone's income in a month, if not a yearly income. Yet, people will be willing to take the same risk such person take and still find a way to justify it.

having high hopes or too much expectations while gambling can leads to depression.it is not a good idea for a gambler to be expecting a huge win. Anyone that understands the nature of gambling , will know that gambling is a game of chance. Which there is chances of winning and also of losing.in other for gamblers not to feel disappointed as they gamble two things should always come to mind which is the possibility of winning and also that of losing. This will eventually makes then not to feel disappointed incase of potential loss.

You are right. Losing is part of gambling and gamblers should always know this that the house edge is always higher which means that the casino is always at advantage of making more money when patronised so they should always have this on their mind before playing games. So in other words, gamblers should play with funds they can easily let go if they lose out in any games because knowing this could save them the stress of wanting to chase their loses which would coat them more.

And the worst part of it is that due to the house edge, the chances of losing are way higher than that of winning, and this is what most of those gamblers who chase after huge wins do not understand, because coming to the realization of those facts would make you understand that their chances are pretty low and maybe they’ll know that it’s futile to continue in that chase. Most people are the reason for their disappointment, life itself is unpredictable and I wonder what makes them believe they can actually accurately predict gambling which has even the highest level of unpredictability.

The first mistake is to even bet an amount that you consider "too big". It's one thing to have confidence in your bet, and another to expect to win, as the latter usually leads to disappointment. It gets much worse if you try to chase your loss.

These people are either too rich to care, or too addicted to quit. :P

---

You have to accept that losing is part of the game. Instead of focusing too much on the loss, just take a break and do something else for a bit. It's easier to make a decision whether to keep playing or not, when you have a clear mind and emotions are out of the way.

Losing is both relative and general- we all feel the same pain despite the amount of money we lose in the process.

Like you mentioned OP, is it all about mindset? To a certain extent- yes. But at the same time, we have to accept that we have lost in order to move on. The more we ponder about our losses and feel regretful about it, the more difficult would it be to accept it.

At the end of the day, we all know what we entered into. Gambling is all about risk- sometimes we win; most of the time we lose but we also experience jackpots. The cycle will only continue until we break it and move on completely from this habit.

Should we wait till we got into a situation that needs for our calmness in gambling before knowing the necessary things to do and not to do, as responsible gambling is not everyone's common trait found in them, as we can't also seem to take everything for granted, we must be able to do them accordingly, we should not go through the hard way before we learn what is supposed to be done the proper way with gambling.

That kind of mindset works perfectly to calm a gambler down, and that's a fact. Different gamblers have different ways to calm themselves down. I have a different way though.

I have 2 ways of calming myself:
1. I'll just do something outdoors whether it's playing basketball, or badminton, or sometimes even just doing a belly rub on my doggies is helpful as well. Speaking of doggies, I'm thinking that they can help with the stress of the owner so I guess playing with them if you lost your bet will help you as well. :D
2. Playing online games, or whatever game I see. This is usually what I'm doing whenever I lose money in my bets. As somebody that's spending more time playing games, this helps me ease the stress and at the same time, move on with my loss and move forward as well.

Like what I said, we all have different ways of calming ourselves down after we lost huge amount in gambling, but what's important is that, we move on to it, move forward, and will not try to recover those losses. :)

Anyone that doesn't learn about this before gambling will definitely learn a harsh lesson which could be more unpleasant. That's how some persons allow their self to be deceived by believing that there's something called sure game and with such hope they end up staking with an amount that they can not afford to lose, how can such person be able to easily let go of such lose meanwhile they believed it was guaranteed and they staked with a huge amount. First, a bettor should learn about the characteristics of gambling before they start.

That's true bro, anyone embarking in   the game should already know what is involved in it, gamble is a game operating two sided  lose and gain. You don't need to place every hope of yours on it because it wasn't meant for that purpose rather as an alternative means of catching fun when free. However Always bet with your spare cash (money you can afford losing) as not to be totally break down if things didn't work as planned.

Don't feel sad if you experience defeat or loss in gambling; it's normal, and we should be prepared to accept it.
Personally, when I experience defeat or loss, I'll do something I enjoy, like going for a walk or watching a movie. But that's not an excuse not to be sad. It's important to stop and not continue, as in my experience, it only makes things worse. So I don't dwell on it or feel sad because it's a natural occurrence. We just need to accept it and move on with life.

This should be automatic in terms of the process in gambling. You know you are gambling, there is no 100% win rate, hence there is a chance you would lose everything.

I like the idea of somewhat diverting it. It's possible that it could alleviate some of the emotional experiences of the gambler. It's important not to take things personally so you wouldn't be affected emotionally. I practice that so I wouldn't be reacting as much compared to really processing the emotions.

The thing is that actually receiving a loss early in your life can actually be a good thing.

By that, I mean that people that actually experience that will have more background to think and understand what's going on.

People will be able to stop earlier if it has happened to them early.

Everything on earth has time and season.
In gambling, loss and win are inevitable, no matter how we avoid loss it will surely come. When that time comes, there shouldn't be any form of panic because right from the start gambling is risk. Meaning we expect whatever outcome we get, and we take it without letting emotion kick in.

Sure but people feel losing pains differently. Like base on the financial status of the individual. If you are getting pained for losing $100 , the person losing $1,000 won't feel it as much if he lost $100. So that's the way it goes because by every sense of reasoning people feel the pain of what they lost. I have heard that some gamblers go drinking and taking alcohol to feel sedative while others avoid lonely place so that they can get to talk with people. So it is not just about telling yourself that others lost bigger( as our financial status are not the same), there are certain actions to take and I know people socialize to reduce the memory of the loss until they finally forget about it.


This is right and such mindset should even start before the game which is why taking higher risk that you can't carry is not advisable because it is dangerous and can increase blood pressure and possibly death. Many gamblers have died from either loses or winning. We need to protect our hearts from shock.

What makes me to keep calm when i was loss from gambling is because before gambling i usually used the money which i can afford to lost even sometimes i only used $1 to gambling because i want entertainment and fun so, this condition makes me more ready to facing all of the situations in gambling like my loses that's why everytime i lost i can calm myself because i know gambling is about luck and when starting to gambling you only received 2 possibilities that the first one is to lost the money and the last one is the winning and if you were lost then accept that loses then move on and quit from the game

I keep calm by being active, to focus on other things that could remind me of gambling.
There are also times that it would also help when I hang out with my friends to have some fun.
We just need to accept it and move on it is the best one to calm ourselves, cause no matter how much we stress on it, it wouldn't change a thing.

It is important to have a good way to deal with losses, some people don't process this quite well and as a result of that they end up making more mistakes. After losing a huge amount the first thing you should do is try to log out completely from the casino or bet and juat accept your losses, the mistake some gamblers make is that they try to fix it by looking for ways to get back what they have already lost

Nobody bets to lose. :) Everyone wants to win, and of course, everyone has high hopes for their bet. It's also inevitable that a lost bet casts a shadow over any gambler. It's impossible to rejoice over a loss. There's nothing you can do about it, because it's an inevitable part of gambling, because it's impossible to always win, and sooner or later, at least once (I think much more often), failure befalls every gambler.

There's nothing you can do about a loss. Whether you're angry or sad about it, you can't cancel the bet and you can't get your money back. The only thing you can do is accept it and try to forget it, so that the unpleasant feeling doesn't continue to weigh you down. It's better to focus on future victories than on past losses.

The downside about this strategy is that the money you become idle or you’re alone, that thought of you losing a huge amount to gambling would still come back and hit you and if you’re not careful you’d fall into depression or even worse than depression depending on how much you lost.

But if the activities are really good and it made you genuinely happy, not those forced happiness then it might be able to help you get off the thought and even if you’re alone you still might not think too much about it and even if you do it won’t be as much as when just didn’t do anything about it.

Winning and losing are the two possible outcome of a wager, so when we happen to end up with either one as the result then we should be happy to accept it and move on to next one and it can be an unexpected one but not should be an unplanned one.

No one need to feel really sad, I mean sad for real if they bet an amount that is what they ready to risk since the beginning then the pain can be much lesser to tolerate. ;)

In fact, unless someone experiences serious losses in gambling, no one becomes responsible. This is the reality. However, there are many who become so addicted that they can never gamble responsibly again. Many do not really understand what it means to gamble responsibly. No matter how one bets, there is no way to avoid losses and winnings . However, if one gambles responsibly, it is possible to reduce the amount of losses by controlling emotions and setting one's own limits. However, if a person does not understand all these things first, then he should gamble as entertainment rather than as a source of income.

I don't have to calm myself after a loss, because I'm a moderate gambler and I bet only small amounts. I can't imagine losing 1000 USD or more via a single bet. That would be worse than a punch in the stomach(or a kick in the balls). Losing even several dollars worth of crypto can ruin my mood, but this is part of the game. Being frustrated is also a part of life. We can't be in a good mood all the time. When I'm having a bad day I just stop gambling and try to distract myself by watching Youtube videos or reading a book. This doesn't work all the time. Meditation also helps, when your mind is too focused on past mistakes. Taking a deep breath and realizing that life is ups and downs. Progress is moving from one failure to another until you succeed.

Just the facts, the stitch in time should have been a beacon for any gambler weather good or bad as that will always retract such gambler from going astray if regretting the whole time proper moderation is very important. I encountered a gambler who told me when he loose much, the only solution is meeting a girl who make him feel free, in my way of analysis I called it madness as the nitty gritty of his losses can't be solved but wasting time feeling that woman around him solve the issues, because after the process the losses can't be recovered, the only option is avoiding that which will leads to that excessive losses in the gambling which seems to go beyond one's limit.

The feeling of losing is something one cannot easily get off the mind no matter how hard it seems.
Especially in a situation where you put in so much money into a bet with high expectations given the statistics and it goes the opposite way.

The best way I try to take in the lose is to spend some time with friends and remind myself that it's not the end.
I would definitely get back everything I lost, time is what it would take. These are thoughts I would have in mind to convince myself that it would definitely get better.

This is one funny mistake so many gambler makes by gambling with what they can't afford to lose. It won't be easy on a gambler that gamble with what they can't afford to lose . It will be very difficult for them to be able to handle such loss. It will even become worst when you begin to entertain the idea that you will recover what you have lost. This will only make you to start chasing losses with the hope that you are going to get it back . The only way to withstand loss is to gamble with only what you can afford to lose so incase there is loss we won't feel the impact that much and we can be able to forget easily.

Positive support from friends, relatives or close friends is indeed important to rebuild confidence
so that you are not too traumatized by the losses that occur after gambling.

It's not easy to recover from a defeat that really becomes the end of everything,
there's a feeling of regret, resentment on the game, and more thoughts of repaying that loss.

Many examples have occurred in my neighborhood when someone loses more money on illegal gambling,
they look stressed and have no other purpose than to gamble and make a profit.

Unfortunately, many people don't know how to deal with losses. When they don't pursue losses, they resort to alcohol, thinking that this will help them cope. Just a few hours ago, I saw a young man here in my country causing a disturbance, and nobody understood exactly what he wanted. I honestly wondered why on earth he consumed alcohol to act that way. In other cases, young people in my country commit suicide when they lose money gambling or playing the game Aviator.

You have a point, it's exhausting to think of ways to get over the feeling of losses because no matter what you do those thoughts would still be in your head, the best thing you can do is to accept your losses and just move on, it's better than trying to distract your mind to avoid thinking about it. As for me, I stopped putting myself in those kind of situations because I always gamble with amounts I can afford to lose.

I don't know but here in my place, people tend to drink either they lose or win. They drink when they win to celebrate it, and when they lose, they tend to drink as well to forget what happened earlier. And what's crazy is that when they drink more because they lost, a large volume of alcohol will be consumed as they try to drown themselves because of frustration, and then the next morning they will be empty-handed. That the worst way of calming ones self during a loss in gambling lol.

You can also be happy that youre still alive and breathing! You can also be thankful. Even for losing because along with the loss comes a lesson and as long as you can see it this way you can even learn restraint and self control because its like touching fire, you can get burned. Thankfully burns heal!
