Have be seeing many folks going wild at their lost times striving and trying all they can just to get back what they have already lost regardless the consequences, however in recent time chasing of lost has been a major problem to many gamblers yet we  keep on having higher case of it.

This has bring me with the questions : how do you handle your lost when gambling?  do you just take a pause knowing that is not your day of celebration or you just keep pushing harder and doubling your stakes maybe you just might be lucky hitting it big at once. So what do you think?

Taking a pause from gambling has been the best response I take each time I am on a losing streak in gambling. At least that action has saved me from having further losses that will be incurred if I insist on gambling to recover my gambling losses.

Gambling is not a do or die activity where someone will have to recover their losses before stopping or will be called a weakling because they take a pause in gambling. Gamblers are even advised to take breaks from gambling from time to time if the odds of winning in gambling are against them

 Sometimes, trying to stake again after a loss would only yield losses instead of the desired outcome so it's best to stay away from betting for a while because when emotions are high, there are bound to be mistakes.
These days no one views gambling as a recreational activity, especially when one has won several hands in a row for that day, it would then become a means to increase your wealth and as such, much attention is given into it.
Gambling can be tricky and would drag you in when you least expect it, especially when you're busy chasing your losses so the best to do during loss is take a break and do something else.

Why should I keep wasting my money gambling knowing too well that my allocated funds has been exhausted?
It is important to stop, when the funds allocated is exhausted than to keep chasing loses at that point such users is gambling under desperation and you know what that means? Whenever is someone has fallen under desperation they tends to do whatever just to take their place without knowing that they are even digging their grave the more, therefore, it is better to stop gambling when you have finished the very first amount you deposited to the gambling site.

I would like to pause, or take a temporary break from my gambling activity to manage my lost time. Perhaps during that moment of defeat, I felt a desire for immediate revenge, but we shouldn't give in to that desire, as it could lead us to gamble excessively or irresponsibly. So, I need to calm myself down and find something else to do while slowly forgetting about the loss. Next, I will place a bet in the next gambling session, hoping to turn things around. But I shouldn't get my hopes up, as that can also lead to losing our minds while gambling, especially if we lose.

Well, chasing losses may be a dangerous thing to do when we are losing, but I think it is okay if we do it responsibly, meaning we are prepared to invest money in our bankroll using money we can afford to lose. So, perhaps we can prepare a solid budget for our next gambling session, and I think we should save the funds we set aside beforehand so that we have a substantial amount. Cmiiw.

You already stated the problem on chasing lose and the choices that you gave already have 1 exact answer on what should be the right decision.

Unless people are masochist with gambling losses they will choose the keep gambling as solution when they loss their bankroll.

Always pause when you lose. You have a lot of time to gamble again when you are already move on to your current losses.

The right thing to do is really pause, but sometimes we can’t avoid chasing losses because we’re just human. Our emotions get too high and we make dumb decisions. I’m just being real here, personally, I’ve made a lot of mistakes like that. I’ve learned from them, sure, but not fully… I still end up doing it from time to time.

See, those who gamble with the greed of money always face more losses, if they enter the bet again after losing, then they will have the highest tendency to lose. Because then the mind, mood and emotions will never be under control because the goal will be to get money or recover money. So it is foolish to enter gambling to recover money that you have lost in gambling, keep yourself calm and patient in gambling again and again, take rest if you lose, then you will see that after a long time you will definitely get more assurance of winning in gambling. And you will have control over your emotions and you will be able to stay away from the symptoms of addiction in gambling.

I think we have different ways or methods to handle when losing. Honestly, I can't control it on my earlier days in gambling, after winning some bucks and losing it all, I tried to win it back and I'm too frustrated that I almost deposit everything that I have just to win back those losses but right now, I can limit my bets and actually it's effective and when the urge to win back my losses just like before, what I do is to play video games usually it was competitive games but it's not always winning and it adds in my frustration but right now i just play games where I can win more likely a single player games and in this way it diverts my frustration to the game.

A fixed bet is primarily used to protect you from big losses so that you don't increase it when you start losing. A few losing bets in a row are not critical in gambling, it only becomes a problem if you begin raising your bet after each loss trying to recover. If you get a losing result it is best to take a break, but in any case you should not increase your bet.

Lost time, do you mean feel regret that time was spend gambling instead of doing something more useful? That is the biggest issues of all times - feel regret about wasted time, because it is impossible to get it back. How do I handle situations when I understand time was wasted and I did not get expected result? I try not to think about it. It is a very philosophical question. I try to think that everything I do, even if I fail in it, is my experience. Negative experience is also valuable, because it helps to improve.

I handle my losses by taking some break and refreshing for sometime, because I'm not a greedy gambler I always gamble with the amount that I can afford to lose because there is no guarantee of winnings in gambling it is always a game that luck plays a significant role in determining the final outcome.

However, any gambler that knows what gambling is all about wouldn't hesitate to call it a day when experiencing losing streak because that's the easiest way to handle losses in gambling.

Every gambler deals with losing in different ways, but everyone just wants to get their money back. Most gamblers fail because they don't win as much as they would like. If you stop playing after losing, you can temporarily reduce your losses. You should make sustainable decisions to reduce your tendency to lose.

When I lose while gambling, I continue to play more if I have the money I have allocated. If I exceed my financial capacity, I stop gambling immediately. Because when you don't have money, you can't concentrate on gambling. If you have enough money available to gamble, you can gamble with concentration.

Stopping gambling at the moment of continuous losses is a good decision for a gambler. It would be a wise decision to stop gambling when you are losing continuously even if you have a lot of money.

Forget and move on! If you're in the losing posiiton, yet still wanna gamble. You're only risking yourself to get another lose because your main point to gamble is to take revenge to recover your lose. You forget your was there for winning and making some profit.

Just forget it, and take some break. It will help you to recover your mentality before you start another gambling session.

I see gambling not as a way to make money, but purely as a form of entertainment.
My losses are the cost of that entertainment, and any winnings as a kind of bonus that lets me have even more fun.
So since I’m doing something where I’m prepared to lose, there’s no problem.

Personally i think the most effective way to deal with losses is to take a break. I quit playing on days that I notice that it is not my day and I do not hurry up to bet more. The following day I might be less clouded and make decisions in a more relaxed manner. The notion of doubling your money to recoup the losses in a single bet might sound like a good idea but is mathematically unsound to play against the house and variance and your own low bankroll that the result will be worse. My advice, therefore is to have a limit of losses set beforehand, get out fast in case you lose, and always keep in mind that big wins in gambling never come but big losses always come in case you get carried away. It is tomorrow to win but tomorrow does not arrive unless there is discipline.

Loss chasing is one of the biggest traps in gambling and it’s what turns small losses into huge ones when you start thinking you can win it all back with one more spin or one more bet that’s when you start losing control. The best way to handle losses is to pause immediately and step back once you realize the game isn’t going your way walking away doesn’t mean you’re weak it means you’re smart enough to protect what’s left of your bankroll because when your emotions take over logic disappears and that’s where most gamblers fall apart.

Doubling your stake after a loss might sound like a shortcut to recovery but mathematically it’s a disaster the more you lose the deeper the hole gets and the harder it becomes to climb out instead set a loss limit before you even start once you hit that point stop no matter what. Taking a break helps you reset mentally and emotionally you can come back later with a clear mind but chasing losses only leads to frustration and more losses discipline is the real win in gambling not the jackpot.

I try to understand the meaning of splurging during difficult times, but it seems to cause various interpretations because how can someone splurge during difficult times when there is no money? But you yourself already understand that it's okay.

It's normal to experience losses because the money I bring for gambling is already budgeted. I come to play just hoping to have an enjoyable time. If I win in the game, it's something I didn't initially expect, so I can call it a bonus. As for losing, that's an inevitable outcome.

Truth be told, when someone starts chasing losses that person is actually falling into one of the biggest traps in gambling. And all these people will not even realize that they have fallen into that trap until damage is already done. Once you start trying to win everything back, you are no longer thinking straight again, you are now gambling with emotions. And at this point you've already messed up.

I've really come to realize that gambling becomes very dangerous the moment your emotions take over. The moment you start doubling stakes out of frustration, the game is no longer about skill or sense, you are now playing with hope and let me tell you, hope is not a strategy. You're losing seriously and still hoping that when you stake big you'll be able to recover what you've lost. You're just putting yourself into more danger.

At the end of the day, everyone knows that losses is part of the game. Some days everything will go well, some days things will go bad and that is fine. But when you start to fight a losing streak usually just make everything worse. The best thing you can do for yourself is to set limits, take a break to clear your head, and seriously that can really save you a lot from unnecessary stress

I'm not new to gambling. I know very well the consequences of chasing losses. I have learnt the hard way, and I don't want to make the same mistake twice. So whenever I'm having a bad day, I used to accept my losses and move on. I don't press my luck at all. I used to stop playing and I tell myself that if I'm not lucky today, I'll be lucky tomorrow.

The real problem is not about chasing loses (which is a problem indeed) but the time lost while gambling in general. I don't know if you've thought about it calmly, but the longer you play, the harder it will be to stop or change the habit.

I don't usually need to pause when I see myself in a losing spree because I set up my gambling sessions to be as short as possible, and no longer than strictly necessary to have a little fun from time to time. Not only because of the time lost otherwise, but mainly because of the habit I said.

To handle losses is simple but some gamblers find it difficult because they are newbies or because they are addicted so much to gambling. Let me assume that I am earning $90 every week, I can just be using $4 to gamble every week and it will not be more than that.

Do not have more than the small amount of money on your gambling account and be disciplined to the extent that you will not fund your gambling account after you lose the small amount of money on your gambling account that week. It is simple for people that are not addicted.

For me I gamble when I'm free, so there is no lost time that I have to cover just because I gamble. Maybe just a few sleep here and there that I might have lost. Nevertheless, I haven't put gambling as my priority so I guess I'm fine.

But for others it really very bad for them to say missed a important event because they are addicted to gambling. The worst horror stories that I heard from a recovering gambling addict is that during his wife labor, he make a excuse to borrow money from this friend to pay the hospital bills. Nevertheless, this gambler not only not in the hospital for the wife's delivery, but the money that he was loaned was put into gambling.

OP your caption is slightly different from the body of your post. I was even thinking you are talking about time as stated in your caption but the body says losses in gambling. There have already been too many topics on handling losses in gambling and what seems to be a general approach by people is to accept losses as they come since it cannot be avoided. Just gamble with what you will be comfortable losing and remain within that limit, no greed and no regrets. If you maintain that level of discipline, gambling will stop being too painful to you.

Before I gamble, I regard any money I used as money lost already. Using this pattern, I calculate how much I can lose and that is only what I use to gamble. If I lose it, it does not bother me much again because I already made the calculations early and prepared my mind that it can be lost. Chasing loss is not good practice because what makes you lose in the first place can still make you lose more when you chase losses. It is even worse when you change playing pattern without planning.

I handled my losses in gambling like a champ because the amount i always risks is very small that it doesn't bother me, the money I use for gambling is like buying a soda can after a long day farming.

---

There was a time where I would be sad after losing money and that was because I wasn't ready to lose the money I risked at the time, now I gamble differently risking small amount of money.

---

Before you gamble always accept that the money you are about to risk on gambling is already lost, if you don't feel right thinking about such then you shouldn't gamble with the money, a amount that you can risk on gambling should also be the amount you are ready to lose.

Ideally, gambling should stop when you're losing, but unfortunately, this often doesn't happen. Instead of stopping, gamblers continue chasing their losses, hoping for a lucky break and a big win to recoup all their losses.

This is what usually happens to me when I lose. Instead of stopping, I keep going, hoping to recover what I've lost. But unfortunately, I lose more and more, and instead of recovering, I suffer even more losses. Therefore, I must stop in such a situation.

I mostly stop after I lose my balance and already lose all of my limit of the week. I will take max $15 to playing once a week, and I will use this limit with 2 step deposit. For the first I will use 50% to deposit and re-deposit the rest if losing the first one. Once it reach the limit, and Im still lose, I will stop the session, this way will help me to control my self to not chase for win after loss.

The best way to handle losses is simply to accept them...one of the main reasons why some people keep.o. losing repeatedly is because they try to avert their losses but this isn't going to make things easier, you are only making things more complicated for yourself...losses are inevitable, its one aspect of gambling that you must learn to accept, trying to elude it only brings you more losses in the long run

At first, when I lost, I felt very bad and I would bet more to get back the money I lost. Later, I became addicted and I got into a lot of financial problems. After recovering from that loss, I kept a small part of my income for gambling and did not bet beyond that limit. And the thing is, I do  gamble at all as a form of entertainment. That is why I do not feel so bad even if I lose because it is a part of gambling and on the other hand, if I win, I spend that money on various other types of entertainment.

I don’t have that kind of mentality, celebrating wins on a daily basis if I get lucky. My goal is long term, so I only celebrate when the whole month ends up profitable. Doing it daily is stressful, and it gives you mixed feelings because you start expecting too much from gambling. In reality, if you’re a regular gambler, you’ll have bad days and good days, that’s normal.

So it’s better not to put too much energy into day-to-day results. Just keep it steady, and if your records show you’re in profit after a month, then yeah, maybe treat yourself a bit. That’s how you build a disciplined approach in gambling.

There's nothing you can do about lost time in gambling, what you can do is find a workable strategy that will guide you against repeating the same mistake if you plan to continue gambling when n the future. The best strategy than I have tried and it's working for me is to have control over my gambling bankroll, your money is actually the only thing that you can have a control over when you gamble. You cannot chase loses if you already determined how much you want to risk in a session. Be disciplined not to exceed the amount that you plan to gamble with and naturally the issue of chasing loses or gambling with your wins cannot occur.

As a gambler I should be able to know when I have reached my limits and my strength stretch hold and stop than to keep pushing myself further to recover what I have already lost while gambling, it shows irresponsible of me to keep gambling after I have incurred several loses and not just that after I have finished what I deposited to site.
Gambling is always fun when you understand when to stop and when to keep chasing losses but then, some gambler doesn't apply responsible practices while gambling which could lead them to many loses at the moment of trying to restore what they havs lost already.

Very rarely do I try to recover a lost bet
I think this year I only did that two or three times
But in general, I don't change anything. I don't chase losses and leave it for the next few days to place my bets as normal, following the rounds of the championships I usually bet on

If I have a bad streak, I reduce the bet amount until I have one or two wins

Chasing loss sometimes can be very disastrous and sometimes it can be good and the reasons is that there are times you chase loss you won't get anything back instead you keep losing more and more which can lead to addiction because even if you got bankrup at that instant, the next time you have money you would still go try if you can get back the lost money and sometimes you will still end up losing everything again and that's how it will continue untill it becomes a habit but sometimes when you chase loss, you will get everything back and sometimes even have extra and some people will be wise to say I won't try this, to  this extent next time and they have learnt from that but stopping is a general option and best most times.

On my part, I just follow what our other companions here said, where when we gamble, we should have limits on what we will do in our gambling game in terms
of the money we will use as bets in any casino we play in.

Because if we don't set limits, we might end up chasing our lost amount in gambling without realizing it. But if we practice setting limits in terms of funds, once they are exhausted,
it means we stop and come back another time, that's it. It's good for gamblers to get used to this.

 The first thing I  think any gambler should do before they start gambling, is to decide how much they intent to gamble with. If this is done the feeling or emotions of chasing after losses may not be there.A gambler that uses his or house rent to gamble won't just want to quit, they will try as much as they can to get what they have lost at the end , they will land themselves into a bigger mess. The best solution to this is to only gamble with an amount that we can willingly let go.

The only solution is to stop gambling and call it a day. As a matter of fact, if I have lost more than my budget for that day, I stop gambling for a week in order for me not to incur more losses. If it happens that I exhausted my gambling budget for the week in a session. I don't gamble till I refill my budget the next week.

Chasing your losses will lead to more losses because the house hedge always win and winning comes by luck.

For me, I think the best approach has been taking a break to restrategize, refocus and concentrate without external influences (tension, pressure,etc) as that has been the reason for more losses than wins for most gamblers.

Do not chase losses,  controlling emotions, knowing when best to stop should be qualities that every gambler should acquire.
This is to make sure the occurrence of addicts is limited and avoid emotional distress and financial challenges.

In fact, those who gamble after losing and then try to recover their losses beyond their ability to lose are essentially gambling irresponsibly and acting stupidly at the same time. This is actually a sign of losing emotional control over oneself, which later gradually leads the gambler to become addicted to gambling.

I always set aside a certain small amount for gambling and if I lose it before the end of that period, I don't gamble again until that period is over. And that's basically how I try to face losses when I gamble, and I think it's possible to lose if you apply it.

I don't force it if a losing streak happens.

I learned my lesson the hard way, and now I know that forcing it will lead to more losses. There are times when we cannot just use our deep wallet to chase our losses. Anything we do will just lead to more losses, so it's best if we could halt and just take the rest.

I did it before and I saw how cruel an online casino can be, especially in slots. It's like no RTP is existing and the unfairness is just too shocking. Now, I have my budget to gamble every other day and that's it if ever it's gone.

In my case, I've dealt with losses very normally. When I lose a bet, I don't panic, I don't cry, and I don't chase losses. This is because I manage my bankroll well and also plan my bets well. I don't put all my bankroll into a single bet; I don't do that. So even when I lose a bet, I win another bet, and in this way, I compensate for the loss without chasing losses. This happens naturally. I've always told people, look at gambling as entertainment and manage your bankroll well, and that way you'll have fun gambling.

Being reckless in gambling will make the situation even more difficult, especially when you are in a frustrating situation due to continuous losses. Gamblers must know their limits so they don't get caught in the mindset of "just one more time" or "this time I'll get lucky", this kind of gambler's style of chasing losses will only make things worse if they lose again.
Awareness of the situation needs to be increased so as not to get too carried away by emotions, perhaps it is better to stop for a moment rather than continue doubling the bet and actually lose more. I always consider gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income because if I continue playing when I am emotional, it will only make me more frustrated.

Well, nothing.

Since I've experienced so many lost, I no longer feel bad when I'm at loss. It's just a normal day, it won't affect my daily life. I think people who have gamble many times should able to accept losses, it's not like at the first time you haven't feel the adrenaline during gambling.

You're already experienced, you're capable to take any risk from what you doing.

When I'm gambling, I love to proportion my gambling amount such that when I lose a particular amount, I will take a break without haven to make another deposit. Even if I have won more than enough without losing up to the amount I set to lose, I will withdraw that my winning before I continue gambling or take a break. When you win and you don't withdraw your money before you started gambling again, there's a high chance that you can enter a losing streak again and while trying to win back that exact amount, you will lose it, there no remedy for that. Just set a gambling amount and after you have won with that money, make a withdrawal before you continue again.

Dealing with loses does not need to ring a bell before anyone knows what to do to prevent further loses. The best thing to do when I lose bet is to take a leave and rest my head. Nothing should be less than that because if you continue to bet for the sake of revenging your bets, you can lose money than you ever imagine. Gambling is not always predictable for making profits except you have an insider game that is sure of giving you profits.

At first, setting a gambling budget for every game is a priority which should be adhered to. While playing games, having it in mind that gambling is risky and it doesn't always favours the player should be another thought that could help ease the stress while playing at loss and before then you already know you are playing on a budget you can afford to lose irrespective of the amount and games played. This could help you mentally to avoid being under pressure while gambling because you already know and have the basics of gambling which you are already observing. At some point, if you continue to experience continuous loss on the game, you should take a break immediately if you can not withstand the losing streak as that would help your mental health for the moment.

Whenever I lose then I just accept that I lose, there is no shame in it like we actually playing the sport so just accepted and move on. If it's abig loss or something that you are expected but went the other way then immediate pause will help because if you keep on playing the frustration will make you wrong choices and you will go on and bet on random games that can potential end up you in much loss.

So what else should we do, every game has wins and losses, isn't that how it should be?
I've tried to chase losses, lost and emotionally placed bets again, but instead I lost again, For this reason, if I gamble and lose in several places, maybe I should stop for a moment and not repeat the bet again for that day.

As I said above, there is no winning, it's just empty talk, what's even worse is that the only way to stop and relax is to restore stamina and concentration for tomorrow.

I've come to understand that losing and winning are part of gambling; it's not something that just comes unexpectedly. You have to expect it, so I accept it and move on, telling myself that next time could be my lucky day.
The most important thing is that you enjoy the game, so I handle it well, thinking about your losses will do you no good, and it just shows that you gamble for money.

When you lose, the game is over, and there is no need to continue anything. That is what I apply. If you make a limited deposit, all you need to do is bet until your deposit runs out and the game is over. You don’t need to force yourself to make another deposit to chase your losses, because what you will get is even greater losses.  
Limit your deposits and focus on being consistent with those limits, so you won’t chase your losses.

Chasing losses isn't advised but there might be a chance of getting back the money you have lost even though the risks are very high but time is something that you cannot get back. That's why it's the most valuable thing we have. If you spend over 2 hours gambling and in the process of that lost 300 dollars, that money can be gotten back but your time would be spent without achieving anything

I apply similar rules to my gameplay because I realized at one point that it was necessary to control it and create some kind of system. Time limits help me better cope with game losses and improve my time management. Without them, I would often play for ages and then, hours later, realize I had other important daily tasks to attend to, not just playing. I also noticed that if I play for too long, my interest gradually fades, and we play mechanically, which almost always leads to losses. In general, I prefer to play more often, but take longer breaks to allow me to recover from the stress and excitement of previous games.

In terms of handling the issue of loss, the only solution is to stop gambling. At the time of loss, one should try to convince himself that he should stop gambling now. Because if at that time he cannot control himself and continues gambling, then in that case he will fall into more depression and may have a lot of losses. I try to convince myself in this situation that it was not my luck that is why I lost. So I should forget about that issue and stop gambling and take a long break because if I lose frequently like this, then even if it is a small loss, it will cause a lot of damage to me at one time. This is basically how I handle the issue of loss regularly.

I think chasing losses has been a common problem from the past until now because it basically involves a gambler's mentality that will always chase it.
The solution is to improve your gambling management with a predetermined budget. If you don't start now and continue to gamble blindly without any risk management, the bad cycle will keep repeating itself.

First is to accept every losses and move on.

Too bad that most gamblers harbor over expectations when gambling, losses are part of the game and it happens more frequent than wins. Things we don't stop seeing in gambling, it is easier to cope with your losses than quest for luck, a good day for gambling comes when you win while a normal day, the loss is yours.

Taking a pause don't guarantee to win next you return, if you cannot bear losses then do not risk.

Yes gamblers pass through alot sometimes trying to figure out why they face losses, but the idea of doubling your stakes is a crazy one, how can you be passing through a time of loss and you decide to double stake? Lol

The best option is to take a break and journal all your bets see and observe If you took your bet strategically or emotionally, look at all your past considerations, risk management and all of that,
Then you pick out what you think is not right and you try to fix it

Gambling just like any other business should be as well strategic and risk management should be highly respected. Work on your considerations and probabilities all these will indeed increase your win rate

Take a deep breath and walk away from the casinos. You need to calm down so you can accept the loss and not try again. You should pause your gambling activity knowing you are in a loss so you don't incur more losses. Yeah, it is hard but that is what you must do.

You don't have to push harder and double your stakes because there's no guarantee you'll win and get your money back. There is tomorrow you can try and who knows, you will be luckier than today.

I lose more or less often during gambling. I don't have much pressure after losing, I have to make up for what I lost, I don't double my bets and take it thinking about the profit now. Because no matter what you say about gambling or betting, in the beginning I didn't have the patience to control it at all, I faced losses many times, so now I'm used to it, so I don't have any problem controlling myself. This will be the problem of those who are gamblers in the beginning, we don't learn from others, we people only learn rightly when we make mistakes ourselves.

Loss is a common phenomenon associated with gambling, with trading investment and even normal investment.
It is just that when you talk specifically about gambling, the loss may be more impactful and may cause addiction or chasing losses or debt or penalties or death in most cases out of frustration.

Anyone going into gambling must know that, but the hope is always to at some good point, on a random day, win big.
Luck will shine on that good day and will help recover the time of loss and if it should abide yet longer, we may have learnt, in that process of the pain we endured during the loss, the strategies to make the winning luck stay longer.

Time limits is one important thing we need to look into and this is a major factor holding gamblers down because they can not allocate time for their gambling, they lack time discipline and consciousness and this is what leads to series of losses and also spur them to chase their loses which results to them getting addicted. Time factor should be put into considerations while gambling to instill discipline in oneself. I believe this will help to also curb the increase in gambling addiction if only the gambler is willing to adhere to time factor while gambling.

You accept the loss and move on. But if you lost more than you can afford, taking a pause and reflecting on what happened is a good thing to do, it gives more time to process what happened and maybe avoid for that to happen again. Pushing harder and doubling your stake as a counter to your loss is never a good thing to do, it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Time management works in diverse form, a player could maneuver five hours in a session and another two or lower, while they're some gamers who can't even spend a minute before all their bankroll get wiped out. It's really important to have the time strategy, controlling the boundary is where trouble stays beneath. The changes occur often, and atimes the gambler would lose track of the measures.

When someone loses in gambling, they try very hard to win. They keep trying until they recover their losses. Others try to keep themselves stable after a loss. If a gambler stays away from betting, he can protect himself from losses. But some gamblers' great desire to recover their losses forces them to lose. When I lose in gambling, I sometimes try to recover, but if my bankroll is low, I refrain from doing so. I believe that if someone can control themselves after a loss, then they can control that moment.

Time lost cannot be regained so the best thing you can do is to move on and just accept what you have lost. One common mistake that a lot of gamblers make is that they dwell on the past for too long, as a result of that they start getting tempted to chase losses which doesn't really solve the problem because you would only end up spending more money and time making the same mistakes that would cost you. It's important that you focus on learning from your mistakes and experiences and try to become a better version of yourself.

First change your mindset towards gambling and take the right approach towards it.
If every gambler only gambled the amount they could afford to lose, then they wouldn't have to worry about how to handle their losses. But when you gamble just for money, you will look for various ways to recover your losses and try to win. In fact, both of these things are highly discouraged and if you want to be a wise gambler then avoid recovering losses and chasing wins.

Losing at gambling is normal, you don't need to worry too much about it. However, some people still gamble to win money for various reasons. When you change your approach and mindset towards gambling, then you may become a wise and responsible gambler without worrying about losses.

I never chase losses when it comes to betting; that's a path to failure and losing all your money. When I do have losses, I simply stop playing and continue another time. When I start betting, I define how much I'm going to spend, and I never, absolutely never, deviate from that strategy. I never put in more money; I simply come back another day.

I have learned to call it a day and move on. I've been gambling for quite a long now and I have had been through a few difficult situations for not being able to control my emotions but those are the things of the past. Pushing harder don't work as gambling is not something you loosen by initial losses and give a final blow for win.
Now I have learned to set a budget and stick to it no matter how large or small or unfortunate the loss was.
I don't take a rest either, I have allocated my time on different activities throughout my day and it involved multiple gambling platforms and multiple forms of gambling and I don't have time to lament on emptying the balance of one. Sometimes emptying the balance may mean I might not allocate budget for it for a whole month but it would free up my time for other more analytical bets.

It's simple when mistakes keep coming your way, and maybe you're depressed at the time, then turn off your phone and avoid talking about gambling and enjoy a warm time with your family, exercise together, watch a movie, and or take a vacation to a place that your family members want to visit, it will restore the bad mood in your heart, your mind will be open and your heart will be more fluid, there you will see that gambling is not the only thing that can please your mind and heart.

Chasing losses is the way to make things worse.

I can only say about myself and that is to say, each time I lose and I try to more time to see if I ma lucky I just stop gambling because I know it wouldn't work well that day. Every gambler should be smart to have that body Intel to understand when luck is not on your side, not just gambling and losing and not having that instinct that tell you today is never your day. Any gambler that gamble without understandjng his body language will lose more than win.

Stop gambling do not continue to force because it is certain that you will lose a lot if you continue to play, do not play more than the bankroll that has been set if you continue to exceed it then the possibility will continue to pursue losses.

Doubling the bet for revenge is bad, if you win big maybe lucky but what if you lose again? You will probably be upset and emotional.
Gamble with a limit - the bankroll that has been limited when you lose a break then that's the best way.

I have done things like that before; some did bring luck, but not enough to recover all the losses. What I mostly experienced was even greater losses. 
It’s better not to continue playing when you are already losing because there are uncontrolled emotions that will prevent you from playing wisely. 
It’s better to end the game in that session and try your luck again in another session on a different day.

Since chasing my loss brings me more losses in gambling the best thing I do is to stop gambling for that day and move out of the place I am to calm my head a little if the amount I lost is huge, some times after losing I go straight to the shower, calm my head then do something else that will help me to forget about the feeling, the moment that feeling is out from my mind I will never go back to continue gambling for that day again.

Pushing harder in the movement when you are on a losing streak is a stupid decision. You know it requires strong psychology to control your emotions at the right time. In this situation, everyone tends to push harder to regain what they lost, but that decision is emotional rather than mental, or you could say logical. If you are losing, then you should understand that someone else's luck is stronger than yours on that day. You can wait for the right time to make a comeback and regain what you lost yesterday, ultimately making a profit.

Hello friend, losing is indeed a difficult situation for many gamblers. In my personal experience, when I lose, I take certain steps. Before starting my wagering, i set a strict loss limit, which helps me to estimate how much I am willing to risk. When I reach that limit, I go to the gym or go outside. Going to the gym helps me clear my mind. I never let my emotions take control. Remember, betting is just for fun &  I should not try to recover what I have lost. The real point is, the lessons learned from betting. I regularly keep track of my bets &  losses, which helps me understand when my situation is getting dangerous

Pushing harder when you are losing can be deadly what the person is doing is chasing lost money and could go bankrupt if such gambler didn't stop gambling. There is a need to stop when you are losing back to back we can take some few weeks break and change your system of gambling. When we are addicted it's becomes hard to stop gambling when you are losing. Am not addicted to gambling i have went on break severally when i see am not winning but losing then come back when am ready for them again.

You have to go into a bet with the view that the money is already written off. Betting is absolute in most scenarios, you either win completely or lose everything, you don't get 50% back - the live bet cash outs are low. You have to be fairly emotionally and financially  stable to understand this, but many people take a long time to mature to this level. The biggest danger to becoming addicted is being unable to let go of your losses, because it can lead you down a path that keeps on getting darker

Not knowing when to put stop is the biggest mistake on gambling. You can win or lose but you should know when to stop. It's not just for lose. In winning you should also stop. Not stopping could lead you to lose more money. Cause if you're doing excessive gambling in a day, you'll be end up as losing all money.

I usually stop when my deposit goes to zeero. Also stop when I hit a good profit.  Some days can be profitable, some can be losing streak and we have to accept it, don't do 2nd/3rd deposit. Manage bankroll with your risk management

To me, the only way to handle my lost time in gambling is by going for a break maybe for some weeks. I guess by then the losing streak must have reduced because some losing streak can last for months which gamblers may not know how long it will last so since they are not sure about that they will choose to continue gambling with the hope of wining anytime soon, Not knowing that they still have a very long way to go before they can still locate wining.So the best thing to do when we find ourselves in such situation is to go for a cooling break as we don't know how long the losing streak is going to last.

I think it's not wasted time, When we play, it's an investment we make in fun and another experience If we lose, then we must learn so as not to fall into the same error If we fall into the error, then we are wasting time because we don't learn In the end, we are the ones who suffer because we lose money.

I might feel annoyed and silent, a little regretful but in the end I will accept everything and try to forget it, hoping that tomorrow will be better for betting so that I can be more careful if I make a mistake today, tomorrow I will fix it when I bet again.

Losing money at the course of gambling isn’t necessarily suffering or an error because every true gambler should understand that losses are inevitable as far as gambling is concerned and people will always lose, but when we allow ourselves to lose more than we initially planned to or when we allow ourselves or our emotions to push us into chasing those losses, then we can say that’s an error or that we have actually suffered from losses, because at that point we put ourselves in danger and compromise our own safety.

A good attribute that every gambler must have is the spirit of controlling emotions after loosing, this helps to calm the nerves of the bettor, no one smiles when he/she looses, it hurts and as such the gambler should be able to accept any faith that befalls him during his betting period. Gambling is not a bed full with rossy, there are times you loose and times you win. Your losing might be greater than winning.

As you rightly said, the best remedy and solution for handling losses is taking a break from betting, this refreshes your mind and boast your confidence when next you resume playing. If you keep loosing as a gambler you should know when to stop, I understand that consistency pays and due to that fact, one might keep on playing hoping to win on their next bet. Gambling is just all about luck so when playing you need so much luck before you win. I handle my loss time courageously bearing in mind that gambling comes with losing and winning.

Chasing after your loss is a bad practice and when you embrace that act, it becomes very hard for you to be profitable in gambling. Taking more risk does not necessarily guarantee you to recover your loss, you’re just getting yourself exposed to more losses which may be irrevocable. When you’re having a bad day at gambling, it is better to just take a break and then strategize again because that’s the best way to not chase your loss and can reduce getting obsessed and eventually getting addicted to gambling. Gambling is addictive, don’t allow yourself get entangled in it no matter what.

I don't gamble, but observing those who do, I realize that knowing when to stop makes all the difference. When a person tries to recover impulsively, it usually only makes things worse. I think emotional control is the key point. If you don't have this control, we already know where failure can lead.

Take a break is always the best option when in lose to avoid more losses through gambling impulse snd strong emotion to recover losses.

Gambling more while you are in loss has a high chance to result to more losses because gamblers always consider their previous game  that gives psychological effect to chase loss.

I gamble in my free time, so there is no need for me to recover the time. It wasn't considered wasted time because it was my free time. However, to anyone who thinks they can get back the time and money lost while they keep chasing the loss is doing more harm to themselves. Only beginners in gambling can act this way; individuals who have been gambling for a long time should know that chasing losses is bad. As for the time, there are more time for me to make money which I wont feel the loss anymore.

As a gambler to holding your losing is to go for break and that will make you not to become addicted because some people if they are losing in gambling that is when they will start to bet more because they will try to win next time and most people don't want to lose there money for free they will start to bet more to get there capital back and if you are struggling to get your money back in gambling you'll surly become addicted one day and if you didn't play you won't feel comfortable anymore. If gamblers can be going for break for some months when they lose i think they won't be too much of losing and they won't be too much addicted gamblers in the world.

I wouldn't bet on it, but from the outside, you can even see how this quest to recoup losses can quickly become a problem. I think the wisest thing is to have limits and know when to stop, because when emotions take over, people end up making decisions that only worsen the situation. And in the end, keeping a level head is more important than trying to turn the tables at any cost.

This question has been asked a lot of times in this board, maybe worded slightly differently but still the same thing. To answer your question, it would depend on the gambler, some would keep trying to win until they run out of bankroll. And for some, even when their bankroll is empty, they will deposit more than they have budgeted to.

However, if i have lost a lot of money gambling on a particular day, i simply take a break. I do not deposit extra funds, except it is within my budget. So my strategy is take a break and return a little later.

We never know when luck will be on our side or when a big win will come our way. However, it's a bad decision to try too many times to chase that big win, because instead of achieving it, we'll only end up facing significant losses we're never prepared to bear. I think one or two losses are enough to confirm that luck isn't on our side.

And even more important than that is how we accept the outcome of each gamble gracefully, especially if it ends in defeat. Don't let the losses we experience lead us to even greater losses. Winning and losing are common and part of the game. The most important thing is how we can enjoy gambling and avoid significant losses. Gambling is for fun, not profit, because the more you chase profit, the greater the losses you'll experience. A reverse theory.

For me, I've completely ignored chasing losses and never thought about what I've lost. Although it may seem like I'm throwing money away, it's all worth it because I also derive pleasure from gambling. On the one hand, what I've done is in line with my previous plan, limiting the amount of money I spend. When I lose, I never feel lost because it's a small amount compared to what I have. I also consider winning to be a bonus from gambling, given to us to have a larger budget to bet longer.

This mindset has kept me comfortable and secure with my gambling activities, without worrying about anything.

You don't chase after your losses as a gambler or you would end up swimming in a pool of loss. A responsible gambler should be able to stop when needed. So many people have become addicted through the need to chase after their loss. They get too upset with the casino and claim to be cheated. They have failed to see the fact that they are the ones making the whole case something else. A gambler should be able to take break at times like this. That's why for me, when I want to gamble, I deposit only the amount I'm willing to lose for each round. And when that money is gone I just tell my self that I'm done for that day...

My way of handling gambling loss is one should be realistic about it. Unrealistic expectations is what leads to disappointment and pain when there’s a loss but when the gambler fully knows what is involved a loss would just be part of it. I usually take 1 to 2 weeks breaks from gambling whenever I experience the loss. This gives me time to reset and have a balanced emotions.

The urge of keep pushing harder and doubling your stakes with the hope of hitting the jackpot. Is one of the common mistakes most gamblers make in the gambling industry. When you no longer think straight you kept on pushing trying by all means to hit a nice jackpot during those trial you are going to lose a lot , while finding the jackpot and there are still chances you not hitting it either way so just play safe when you have a bad gambling day you put a pause till your head is back in game .

There is nothing to pursue when I am losing. A few tries will still make sense just trying to cover up the losses I've made. But if it keeps me dropping low and making me lose more money, I'll have to stop at that point and that is what discipline is all about when we gamble. There is nothing to prove to anybody that we're such a high risk taker and we'll continue to gamble even if it's going to cost us more money. What we have to do is to accept the fate we've got and the money that we either lose or win during those times when we gamble.

The best way you can handle lost time is for you to just move on from it, you can do this by keeping yourself busy and engaging in activities keeps your mind occupied. Time is something that cannot be recovered when it is lost, you just have to come to terms with reality and accept the fact that you have lost your time and money, reflecting too much on the past will only get you frustrated and depressed

I don’t know what some gamblers think when they trying to win back their loss. If you are a gambler, always know when you are to stop gambling, if you notice that you already about to exceed your limit, just stop gambling at that moment, trying to win back your loss will end up making you lose the remaining money which you are having with you.

If you gamble and you lose, there is always another time. You don’t have to keep on gambling trying to force yourself to win, you can  just decide to stop gambling, and continue another time, which am sure gradually you will be able to win back your loss.
 
If I notice a frequent loss, then I will just take a break for that time, I know if I continue gambling, I will keep on losing also.

when i lose in gambling the first thing i do is to just stop immediately!! because chasing losses never ends well, fit only creates more problems and deeper losses. taking a break helps me clear my head and accept that it just is not my day. gambling is all about ups and downs so once i see things going against me!! i step back then reset and come back another time with a fresh mind. trying to win it back usually makes the situation worse, so it is better to stay disciplined than emotional

Doubling down on the losses pretty much means doubling down on the time loss as well. When i notice I have gone too far with my bets, i just take a deep breath and do something else. It gives me pain to stay away but i know for a fact it will be more painful if i don’t stop. Let’s be honest, we can’t gamble 24/7. First of all it is impossible as we will lose our health and second of all like you said, it becomes a time (and money) sink. Most of us have daily duties. Going to work, raising a kid, pay bills etc type of stuff. We need to do these too and if we gamble all the time, it will create a lot of mess. I mean you can get fired for that. Then where will you find the money to play more? Life is all about having a balance. Without it, we tip over.

For me simple when my money runs out for gambling, I stop. I don’t force anything and just sit there thinking.
What else can I do? I don’t have anything left to gamble. I just distract myself by playing online games, browsing social media, or focusing on other things.
Because if you keep trying to chase your losses, that’s when you fall deeper. That’s also when people start calling you a gambling addict, someone who even borrows money just to gamble. I’ve done that once before, but I won’t ever do it again.

When I lose at gambling, I don't chase after that loss. When I lose at gambling, I take a break and forget about that loss and one of the reasons behind forgetting is that I don't spend a lot of money on gambling. I spend small amounts of money on gambling so that I can forget the regret of my loss very quickly. When I lose at gambling, I can even take a break for a few days because I don't go back to gambling until I feel normal enough. This is how I deal with my losses in gambling. And all this has been possible because I take gambling as a form of entertainment.

It is not bad to keep trying when failing at something, and this is majorly because failure is not permanent, especially in gambling, you maybe losing this minute and then if you keep going, you may start winning the next couple of minutes, I am not guessing this, this is some thing I have experienced myself on multiple occasions..
So, just the way you are winning this moment and then moments later, you are losing, this is exactly how initially losing also happens, but then, gamblers have to know when to draw the line incase of over losing, this is loses that have gone beyond normal..

And this is where the talks about limit coming into play, setting an amout of money you know you can afford to lose, and if luck is not on your side and you end up losing this amount, what I will do is simply take it it's not my lucky day and simply move on, there is absolutely no need making a new deposit outside what I've initially budgeted for the game in other to chase after loses, this is the wrong way to gamble.

I handle my lost in gambling responsibly.  Since I am only spending the amount I can afford to lose, I am able to accept the losses without frustration and with no intention of chasing them or recovering them at the cost of spending more.


Yes when losing streak hits me, I take a pause, I keep away from gambling for days or weeks just to refresh myself.  It is not good to gamble with chasing profit in mind and without free funds, so I prefer to take a pause on my gambling activity until I have refreshed my funds and let go of the previous losses.

I am not bitter when I lose. So, I don't waste my time grieving that I have lost today and I am trying to chase my losses. I have understood that it is going to cost me time and money for doing that. That's why if we pause at that moment, trying to consider the situation if it's worth it to take it, you shouldn't pursue chasing losses. Don't push yourselves harder as that will make you bitter and waste your effort for doing it. And you'll realize in the end that you have got a lot of resources that have been put into void because of your mistake and bad decision.

Any time i experience so many failed bets, i stopped immediately because thats a bad day and i never chase more winning again, i was doing lots of chasing bets before until i realized that i ruined my day trying to recover my losses, and i never win chasing it anyday.
I stopped it and leave betting till other days, i've mastered this situation many times and i have picked out the best solution to myself each time bad days of betting occurs to reframe myself and stay out of it for sometimes.

Taking a break is what I do when I accept defeat. This calms my mind. When I'm ready to return, I'll make another deposit, hoping to recoup my initial losses, but with the consideration that I'm prepared to lose that money again because I'm not certain I'll win the second game. But one thing is for sure, this step shouldn't always be done. After all, chasing losses is closer to addiction, the consequences of which can be much greater losses.

All gamblers has there unique way of handling challenges affecting gambling, when ever i experience excessive lost i never forget to quit and go back to my drawing board. At times some lost are cost by excessive accumulation of odds for example staking over 20 games all because i want to have a higher odd knowing fully well am not the one playing those games, on lost caused by the above reason i reduce the number of games.
Generally my method of controlling lost is by staking below two odds but with a good amount, which i considered my best control measure

When we are in a losing streak then we need to take some time and take a blow. Betting too many bets simultaneously in an attempt to better the odds can make it even worse and all the more so when we are not knowledgeable of the game. The number of bets we make can be reduced and we can select fewer risky bets since this will put us on a safer path. Principles that are regularly adhered to should act as a reminder that it is not about seeking quick wins that gambling is all about, rather it was about risk management.

The hardest time for a gambler is controlling themselves after losing at gambling, this is not possible for everyone because not everyone's emotions are the same. When I lose big at gambling, I keep myself busy with other things, spending most of my time outside chatting with others.

Because we have to accept reality, those who gamble accept reality faster than others because they know that they themselves are responsible for the losses that are happening here and they are doing it consciously. So yes, a gambler has to handle himself and start over. Here, regret does not last long, because the person who loses at gambling quickly returns to gambling again.
