I wish to share my story
While I played with all my money
I risked more than I could loose
My eyes suddenly saw my doom

I lost my mind, my eyes wall full
I had nothing left no one stood
How do I face this, my struggle has zoomed
I pondered on this but my emotion was fused

Take me home was all I could Muter
When I got home I went in search of peter
This was my childhood friend, who acted like a brother
I had enough confidence I felt I was out to gather

I felt a warm wrap on my shoulder
I understand u have lost, but u have to be stronger
You have to forget the loss, the fun is sweeter
With this words gradually I began to feel better

First, this should really be moved on gambling discussion board.

About on the snipped text then you should really have treated gambling like this on the first place but just put up limitations when it comes on seeking fun because you would really be still ending
up on losing much money that you cant afford to lose.

Gambling is for entertainment but don't go overboard on using up your finances which is already allocated for life savings and for food or on simply with living.

Enjoy for sometime but don't really go that much.Everything should be on moderation.

Fun is only limited when you are still playing and still has the funds but the moment you lose everything and all the money that you cannot afford to lose, I don't think its still fun to gamble. Gambling is only fun if you are always in control and that you have to be discipline as that's the only way to manage the risk effectively.

Fun is there while you keep playing but imagine how stressful you are when you keep losing especialle a heavy streak occurs? I think its no fun to encounter that scenario so if you want to have fun don't put all your money on your bag and place it all on your bets. Old saying still gold that bet only what you can afford to lose.

unfortunately, not many gamblers can stick to the rule about using funds that you can afford to lose.

and yes, should move to this gambling discussion board  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=228.0)

btw, the OP becomes a poet sharing his personal experience in gambling.  :P maybe he can find a job in the poetry business instead of gambling. theres fun in gambling, that is, if you are not conscious with the amount your are spending, because you can afford to.

Nice Poem experiences , I think you have learn your Lesson now as how you deeply emphasize on this thread.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never Let your self control your gambling , But rather you must control your desire.

Control your emotion and never get deeper in your gambling activities.

We all suffer from this when we are still newbie in gambling , when we still No nothing about the outcome .

Instead all we do is pushing luck that does not going with us.

Family , it is our family that will be our shoulder , Most of those addicted gamblers that fell down use to Gamble secretly and not revealing their activities towards their family and love one.

That is Much better , Our bestfriend can be the wall we can lean on.


Now all the lessons Must be your teacher and not letting this to happen once again.

Good Luck with your life .. " Gambling is For Fun and not for Food"

I agree that we should have fun while gambling but I highly discourage putting all of your money to chase the high that gambling provides, what OP is describing is an addict that is chasing the pleasure even if the money is tight. Don't gamble a lot of money when gambling, there are more things in life than a one night of fun in the casino tables.

I understand the feeling of being a loser. I mean, when half of the bank roll was already loss, our emotions took place and we wanted to take it back immediately that we dont care anymore what will gonna happen ( do or die move  ).

It is fun if you enjoy the game regardless you lose. That's good you have a shoulder to lean on and a friend will understand your feeling and will give you advice. I manage myself when I am losing the game, that's  acceptance.

Disappointment and depression make a poet of us, this is a good poem with a good moral to learn, we really need a friend like your friend when we are facing depression because of our loss, we all suffer this kind of loss, even long time gamblers cannot escape from losing, and it's important that we have some love ones or friends that will keep us out from depression.

You know what I noticed since I joined crypto gambling? Many people who are good with words in the chatroom. Try to compare this with the chatrooms of altcoin speculations or defi,,, you get very fun people in gambling which shows it really is not the same thing as trading (to those who say it is gambling).

Gave you some merit and hope you do not feel down. Never lose the fun,,, I totally agree with this!

Actually for me, trading is also a form of gambling, it's just that, it is not that that risky than gambling specially if we will compare it to short term trading. Gambling, on the otherhand, is much much risky, you can loss all of your balance anytime. But gambling offers much huge return (if you're lucky and disciplined) than trading. Although, trading also offers the same thing.

I think it will be difficult to still be able to feel fun when you lose, especially if you lose money more than what you can afford.
Luckily you have a friend who can calm down the chaotic feelings that you are being experienced, hopefully your best friend will advise you to only use money that is not used for daily needs and also to be able to control yourself so can't being in gambling addiction.

Losing is part of gambling and this teaches us to become mature and more knowledgeable specially in controlling ourselves .

There are many gamblers that does not come to maturity and continue losing , while people like us who knows now our boundaries and limitation.

and we also accept that we will never beat the House like what we wanted to be.

Sometimes friends and loved ones are not enough for someone who suffers in depression, in regards to this topic being depressed because of gambling calls for a medical intervention in my opinion. Gambling is fun until you become competitive and needs to get back the money that you lose but you instead lose more along the way.

proper diction describes in one poetry text, well it includes several figures of speech. I just analyzed from the text of the poem, that you are very clever at choosing the story line. building elements that are interrelated with each other, so as to form a complete and inseparable unity. The structure of this poem is adapted to the characteristics of your gambling at the wrong time. gambling games are sometimes very emotional. LOL.
oh there is a little poetry:

Gambling must be passionate
Be diligent and determined
So that gambling can be easy
I'm getting closer

That's good that you are determined to play even after losing everything but there is one main point that you need to setup a proper budget for your gambling and allocate funds to that balance every week, month, quarterly or according to your wish.Play with that much amount Because you know this is what you can loose without affecting your financial status.If you play blindly and loose every single penny you are not left with the option of " FUN PLAYING" because you don't have any funds to play further.Be in your budget limits always and try to increase on that amount and then you would have actual fun not the way you are describing your position.Have advice from both the persons who have lost everything and the other who have gained huge amounts.Learn lessons from them and continue your din games.

You'll only have fun if you remain discipline while gambling, when you loss control, that's where the problem will start and though you will have fun while you are playing but losing money that you can't afford to lose will always bring problem outside your gambling life.

You have to learn how to control yourself, take gambling as a fun and entertaining tools. Don't risk all of your money in a single bet.
There is a common thing in every gambler, When they start to lose, they become more aggressive and rushed with all of their money to win. But it is not the perfect way to win, when you loss multiple times you have to control yourself and you have to stop gambling for a little while, Take some times to reduce your stress and come again with a fresh mind, It will help you to think and will increase the probability of your win.

The fun will always be there even if you are losing money and you will only feel the sadness in you, the moment you step outside on casinos having no money at all same thing if you just playing online.

If you're too focus about the money you're making, having fun wont help you at all and many are playing with a lot of greed, the result is very bad for them. Just enjoy playing, spend the money you're willing to lose and you must have a strong emotionional control so you wont feel sad if you don't have money anymore.

That’s true and we should not be carried away and let that fun ruin your limit because sometimes if you’re having fun, you tend to spend more which is not good at all. Stay disciplined and I’d like the message of this poem, don’t gamble your hard earned money especially if you can afford to lose it, and don’t be greedy remember that being greedy is one of the main reasons why gamblers fails.

The slogan of gambleaware.co.uk is not without a reason: "When The Fun Stops, Stop"! Most rational players understand their limits, so they know when it's time to call it a day. Unfortunately, that is not the case with everyone. If you lose control, speak with your family or friends, and seek professional help before you get to a point where you put your future on the line.

The poetic way of expressing the gambling experience makes me remember the beginning days of my gambling. I had almost the same experience when I lost big out of gambling. However I've made myself strong after that, but being strong hasn't made me feel better. I keep wagering to get back the loss I've experienced till date. I don't know where this gonna end.

The most important factor to consider before becoming a gambler is bankroll management system, this variably reduces your way of of spending expenses on gambling, these expenses may be payments on buying predictions, buying network data for sport booking and forcasting, all these can let you spend carelessly without even winning any ticket, gambling and predictions are addictive, so be careful when to avoid been doom next time.

Inspired by you Romeo121 also posted a poem written by him more than a year ago about gambling and more specifically Stake. It was originally posted on the Stake forum but I agree with him, it deserves to have its place here too. Unfortunately his thread has been closed, so I share it here.

I feel pitied for op for loosing what he/she can't afford to loss, despite that, I see no reason for op to come seek for consolidation, it happens on a regular level that's why they say, "winners never quit, but quitters never win".  I'm not encouraging op not to quit, but he should be careful to gamble in the future. Gambling is game of choice since not every person is a gambler.

well, and the point is we have to be professional when able to control situations in real life and when in games. can not be mixed between our mental when gambling and mental when in conditions outside gambling. this kind of thing takes practice many times. because in gambling calm is very necessary, not necessarily relying on knowledge, but calm emotional balance triggers luck in the game.

If you lose your funds then you should be able to move on quickly, because by being able to move on quickly then you won't lose your fun somehow. So in this case it is about a strong heart to fight emotions and pain and not about needing pleasure when losing, because to have fun at least requires that you have a heart that is easy to melt and not a hard heart because that will only follow the heated emotions.

If you lose your funds, don't lose the fun. Please don't lose the use of the English language too.
Back on topic, I can relate to the topic as I've lost quite a considerable amount back in 2018 that now would be a huge life changing amount of money. I moved on and got back on track, always learn from your mistakes.

As a human being then getting not sad when you do lost money is unavoidable and im bit sure that most who do gamble would really be having that kind of emotion
in the times that they do play and they lost money.Majorities kind of mindset is to make profits or make wins which basically talks about earning money but you had
experienced the opposite way which will really lead to frustration and stress instead.If you do really play gambling in other way around or simply seeking out for entertainment
then this emotion wont really be that as severe compared to those who do play for income.Yes, you can still feel those frustrations but not really into that certain extent.
Play and enjoy where winnings is just an add up to your bankroll if you are lucky enough.

Visiting your story
Adds up some glory
Gambler as we call it
Lose and just shout "shit"

Tryin' to recover what's lost
Still lose? Become a ghost
For the site that's there to stay
Don't you play, just go away

Get outta there, meet yo friends
Greet 'em by shaking yo hands
You still feel low, go get some Tasha
After having fun, get back to yo Casa

For all yo family is bigger than yo dream
Will feel better with 'em and fun extreme
Once clouds are settled, making ya sway
Feelin' better? Ah, now go the gambling way!

;)

We are playing gambling here and don't expect that we can always win.

Losing is part of it and it's alright to be pissed off or feel regret in a few hours or days but we have to move on.

Gambling won't be call gambling if everything is an easy win.

Losing is part of gambling and you should be aware of that so in case you do experience loss then that wont really hurt you that much.

Play until it satisfies you but of course you would really be needing some limits because if not then you would really be more sadder if you don't have much money left in your pocket.

Gambling is for entertainment but most people do really treat it up on the other way around which is really wrong.

As they say, gamble for fun not because of profit. From my experience, if we keep chasing for profit in gambling it does not come until our bankroll runs out. But when we gamble casually and just enjoy it, the profit comes out of the blue. Gambling is a form of entertainment in the first place, it is just because there is a possibility of huge return making some people addicted to it. If many people could do what I did then maybe addiction could decrease because they won't be chasing for profit anymore.

Indeed , stop chasing win but instead chase Fun because this is priceless if people will only realized how important fun when gambling .
and not just a pure Money making.

I don't believe that. When you lose your money, you are also loose the fun, actually it's not will be fun. Doesn't matter it's small amount or any afford you can afford to lose, as longa s you lose it, you never be happy from that.
People who say they are still fun even though they lose their money, it's just a word to hide their real feeling.

this was same to "does money buy happiness ? "
if money if your happines you will not feel happy when you loose your money in gambling but if your not that kind of person ,
 its okay for your to loose in gambling  .
 thats two kind of personality so dont say that they only say it to hide their feelings because there are people that really mean it when they say it but for us its an excuse because we are belong on the people that cant accept defeat in gambling .

We have to take all the risks and gambling is not the main goal to win because for me this is difficult to prove.
Often times I have lost but regrets are always momentary because what I use is cold capital that is not mixed with other matters and this makes me comfortable to have fun on weekends.

I know what happened before, surely with addiction we will experience difficult times while winning is difficult for us, now there needs discipline to keep emotions completely under control but what we do is completely within us so do the gambling. indeed needed but not the main income goal.

I think we have a different perspective in terms of playing gambling. There are people who would like to seek just for fun only and there are people who would like to gamble because they want to double up their money. Those people who makes a lot of money in gambling just for fun I think they are the one who takes the gambling more responsively because few of them ignore how much they lose because again they have a lot of funds can gamble. This is the reason why if we want to play gambling we should take care if we can afford what we lose. Those people who play gambling just to seek the money they want double their money but most of them are the ones who gets more eager to earn.

Yeah right its because we have different capabilities thats why not everyone can't afford to lose nor doesn't have enough bankroll for expiremental fun bets thats why many will always aim to win so that they can douvle or even triple their money.

But also I doubt those rich people will not mind their losses since I'm sure they are still counting on it but the different between rich and poor bettor is the rich can eas8ly move on since ge still have a money compare to poor guys whetr they alwats take those losses seriously and hard for them to moveon for their losses.

That's right. The poor value their money so much because it can make them struggle if they lose it and coping up with a loss will be a long process, I'm sure they can feel the pressure to avoid losses which ain't no fun. We define fun in gambling in different ways, The status of the gambler can greatly affect that fun because of the risks involved.

Winning is difficult if you are already addicted as following that is the greed inside you, too much engagements leads you
to keep on losing your money as it's really unavoidable.

But likewise, if you learn how to balance and instead of chasing for money learn how to let go,. the entertaining part will
start to let you realized that it's far better to use this venue to relax and not to continue the chase of money.

I think you didn't understand the parallelism of what I posted in my previous reply. I bolded the part of your comment I am particularly replying to.

The saying goes: "When the FUN stops, STOP GAMBLING"! Whatever loss makes you sad, stressed out, angry, etc., that should be the reason you stop. The amounts aren't important. If losing $50 is a reason for you to be concerned, that should be the limit you are prepared to gamble away. Don't try to chase your losses by doubling your money thinking how you will soon make up for what you lost. Instead, consider how you will feel if instead of $50, you lose $100. if $50 was too much, $100 puts you in much bigger problems.

You need to be able to play or take risks and be prepared for the fact that you will lose everything. Many people in this world take risks, both emotionally and with a cool head. Any casino or anything related to a casino will always beat you, so think carefully before playing.

I play for fun and enjoy the game. Even if I lose does not regret me because I am playing for entertainment be it online or in casino, so it does not hurt me. But for those who just want to make money or play for it only are the ones who would regret on the loss and the trouble begins from here.

As for me, it's boring to play in a casino without emotions. Personally, I don't get the joy of just playing one bet for a long time. But I always set a boundary for myself that I can lose this amount today.

P.S. Check PM!

It is true that we cannot hide that feeling with ourselves and when we lose in gambling, the fun will disappear along with anger and regret will come, we here only love our hearts with sweet words, even though the fact is that pleasure occurs when we win.

I cannot deny that gambling can be happy with the losing heart when gambling, whatever it is we who feel that we will still try to be happy with the defeat, but I am sure that everything is different in this matter and how to keep their hearts in gambling when they lose.

I have same feeling while I'm trying to play in Bitcoin options on Binance, I lose some bitcoin not much, but from this loose sometime i think this is fun enough, maybe options trading for some people is not like a gambling, but for me this is not different with we are buy a lottery ticket. I'm also try to play a dice from faucet few years ago, even I put all in, after the games I can share and talk with other players who also lose in gambling.

Do you think that trading options can be considered fun? IMHO I consider that dead boring!  ;D
Now, not questioning the fun you get by trading options, the pain and the discomfort you feel when you lose is actually the same you'd feel if gambling, so that makes sense.
If you're not a pro stop trading options ;)

And i do consider trading options to be something near with gambling where you do risk out something with a very short time duration and with price unpredictability then it is really hard
not to consider that you are really playing with those moving price in a short time.Fun? Anything that relates with trading then i dont consider it to make some fun.

Serious mode most of the time because i do really treat them differently when it comes to that but when gambling then its really hard to ignore that you wouldnt lose the fun.

Stress and anxiety would really be there because not all would really be that accepting when they do lose money.

Let's understand something, losing is part of the process of any casino game but some understand that fun is winning, but even some winning do not weigh the intangible of fun or entertainment.

Even if it is your job (casino games as your main income) they have the habit of saying, I do what I like, but with all that premise the reality is very different when the game becomes stressful and you are looking for income over fun . Actually feeling happy while playing is one of the greatest thinks and fortunately for casino games, more people are having fun than they getting frustrated.

If done with proper plan then it is real fun along at times you can make money as well. Like play for fun and consider any winning as a bonus. This will make you satisfied and content and for other who just play only to make money on losing it result in sad mood and probably will play more to recover the money and might lose that as well.

Yups because you will always have that greedy attitude that will dictates you not to stop even if you must be doing .
then that must not be addicted , because addict cannot handle anything good .

It takes a big self-discipline to respect this rule, I can't count the amount of times I completely discarded this thought, it took me a lot of time and disapointments to finally perceive gambling as a way to have fun, not to make money.

I often trade in futures for me as well as gambling which has to take the long and the short, now it must be as fun as it is when it is not right and usually it regrets a little what I did.

In lottery dice I have done even the faucet I collected sold out in gambling losses, but I only thought a little as long as I don't get addicted then I can control it in any way and only spend gambling with cold funds.

I have lost quite large sums several times.  Of course, it wasn't funny at first.  Then time passed, experience came, and now if this happens, I treat failure philosophically, like paying for pleasure, that is, like buying a service. 
Here's an example:  you went to see a film.  We looked, maybe you liked it, maybe you didn't like it, but you paid for the ticket.  And what about the exit from the cinema.  I got the pleasure, paid the money. 
And I forgot about this movie.  Something like this. :)

Obviously, it depends how much money you lose and, trust me, that losing big amounts is not like spending 10 bucks for a movie or 30 for a concert. It's really not the same also because the difficult psychological sides of losing which leave their mark on us. It's good it's over for me, I'm out  ;D

Dont know how it is possible not to lose fun, when every loss is a disappointment. When you gamble, you expect to win and not just spend time clicking roll or spin. Besides, if you work hard (or at least do something to get money) and lose, how can you keep smiling after? For me, money dont come easy and fall from the sky. Losing in gambling is not a disaster, but with every lose I feel bad inside.

Then why would consider on playing gambling if it turns out to be a stressful for your deep inside? I agree with those point of yours but if this one will be affecting you in both financial and emotion

then better stop and not for you to proceed on.Gambling is for entertainment though and there are people who doesnt really care on spending up their money with gambling as long they do
get the entertainment that they do seek but somehow those kind of reactions or frustration are common because we do simply not like to lose money while we do play.

Those common reactions are part of the thrill and excitement and if you do find out that this isnt for you then you do always have the choice to stop.

You were here to gamble and you should know that you can either win or lose and the chance of losing is higher than winning. People who thinks that they won't lose on the long run and always hope to make profit are the ones that can't take a loss and feels really disappointed. When you go to gamble, you should never keep your expectation very high.
And as long as you gamble for fun, your loss shouldn't matter, right? Think of your loss as if like you are paying for entertainment. Those profits are just same bonus you enjoy while spending money for short adrenaline rush.

I mean, come on, who likes losing? No one right? The worst part of losing when gambling is the fact that usually hard earned money disappear because some lack of control. Gambling should remain on a fun side most of the time and never enter in that grey area that cause troubles.

that wasn't the hardest part buddy, the worst scenario is that you don't  have other money to make a comeback after losing that profits and that little investment on bets.
Still I don't  get this "subject" of the OP, I mean its obvious already right, if you can't  make a bet anymore then that's  that,  end of the line. Well who will enjoy on a casino just by watching all day long, both IRL and on Online Gambling applies, no one right?

Of course, I will not argue, everything that I wrote is typical for not very gamblers.  It's another matter when a player loses everything at all.  For example the writer Dostoevsky was a gambler.  Even when he died, there were debts.  Recently, a Russian oligarch paid this debt and said: "Now Dostoevsky owes nothing to anyone."  If we are talking about so players who cannot stop, then in general it is a disease, a mental disorder.  The gambling addiction, which they are trying to treat, but I think not very much, the doctors succeed.  
I am not very gambling and only lost such amounts that they not  were critical for a normal life.  That is why the attitude like paying for pleasure.  
But the people with gambling addiction, I can't judge how disappointed they are ... :(

This is the part which confused me as well. It's pretty obvious that the game is over when it's over which is why what op is saying here doesn't make a lot of sense.

Also, majority of the gamblers play to win which is why they don't really focus on the fun aspect and end up getting depressed once they lose all their funds.

Minority of the gamblers play for fun. Op's statement applies only to that minority section of gamblers. This is common sense.

Exactly, Until now I still spend a little time playing the faucet on the freebit, and use the reward for provably fair, I realized I probably wouldn't be able to win that game, so every time I lost a few rolls, I was out. As you mentioned this fun moment will turn into addiction which can be mentally damaging to a person. If they experience losing streaks and insist on continuing to play. And maybe you can share how you manage the fund when lose.

*only fools go to gamble in the belief that they will win always without preparing to lose...
When you suggest your brain to believe you have to win then you lose the fun of gambling. those who do this will definitely not win, all that happens is a painful loss of money. *play with 'fun' then you won't lose

Losing in gambling can make sad, but if that person knows that is the risk when he plays gambling, he will not spend too much money to lose instead use little money and trying to enjoy his free time. They can have a reason to playing gambling to relax their mind, and it is like playing a mobile game in our spare time. So whatever the result, they will not think much because they do not play gambling for a long time and they consider how much money they should use.

That's why those statement is so contradicting since how could people enjoy when losing money? Its stressful to see our pocket became empty even how rich you are since if you read stats for sure you will be sad on the outcome on supposed to be enjoying moment on casinos.

And best for enjoying if we really like to have fun gambling just use the faucet and never put any money on casino since from this we may have a stress free gambling since we have nothing to lose on our pockets.

I hope everyone has the same mentality as yours, losing is part of the game but there are gamblers who cannot accept loses and they will chase their loses until they lose everything. They are too emotional and because of the greediness, that would not make them enjoy the game they are playing.

It's just too stupid but its happening, even myself, I'm in the situation where I loss control in gambling and the outcome is not good.

Answer me, is money important for you? Why should you feel happy when you lose your money in gambling? Doesn't make any sense.


I understand it. There is so such "fun" in gambling, it only make your adrenaline pumped up because you are betting with money. Doesn't matter how small or big the amount, as long as we lose our money, it's not fun.

Well this is what i mean. The main purpose of gambling MUST be about to earn money. It's BS if you only looking for fun in gambling, it's real money involved, how could we feel funny when we lose our money?

If we gamble expect a worse scenario to happen thus its a must to control yourself on how much money you'll use to play. Losing is not really easy to accept, but it is our own decision to gamble (even we cant afford to lose the money we use), so facing the consequences are necessary because no one coerce us to do it.

Nevertheless you'll not lose the fun if your capital is a spare money, otherwise, its a problem specially if you end up with debt.

This is probably not greed, just emotions take their toll and fear that the casino will quickly start taking everything away. Trying to keep balance turns into lost self-control. And so yes, it depends on the mentality and psychotype of the person. You can play on candy wrappers, but it will not give pleasure. My personal experience has shown that the best thing is to get together with friends and play poker for little money.

Since gambling is for the fun of it, emotion should be kept away and sense should be in control,  don't gamble what you can not let go because once you allow your emotions and greed to get the best part of you it lead to lose and more losses and at the end you get depressed.

i always gamble with my spare money, so even if i lose im still fine. gambling should be fun, when its not fun anymore u should seek expert helps my man.

Might be the opposite logic of the subject don't you think?
As it really doesn't suit to any of the casinos or games existed, money is the main tool to achieve fun here in this industry, if we don't even have that I might just go home and play with my Nintendo LoL.
(Oh, wait this is an Online Casino, so I'd rather just watch E-Sports even without bets on my side-might be play with it)

It should be this way but this kind of pretty basic thing looks simple to be done but most gamblers do fail to follow up on playing gambling should be always on the entertainment side.
It should be fun but its no fun when you lose money even if you say that you are really expecting for those bets to lose, we dont like that internally and still have that
kind of hoping to win.
For stopping completely then it will always vary if someone does have money to continue to do so.If you dont have anything on your pocket then are there any things that you can do
further?

The idea of sparing your money to have some fun in returned, if you do have that mentality then you can treat this venue as place to enjoy.

Though like you, it's inside you to desire in winning while playing as it's adding more entertainment whenever you feel the adrenaline and you are
being compensated while betting to your chosen games.

In terms of stopping, if there's nothing left then it's time to go, let the enjoying part be left inside you and not the amount that you spare inside.

You are right and people should have this kind of mentality.Think of those funds which are been paid for the entertainment you do get.Winning money is just a bonus if you are lucky
enough but dont anticipate nor expect that you would really be getting something in the end when you do play gambling because thats not how it works..

These words must be on our mind while we are in gambling, don't chase your loss because it becomes worst if you will dig it and trying to come back.
We also must gamble the amount that we can afford to lose, that's how to discipline ourselves from money managing. Gambling is good for entertainment, that's the fact and nothing will change, don't think that it is a source of income that you could be milking for your own needs.

However, to overcome your loss, think about the fun you had and don't mind your loss.  Just relax for a while if you have lose and come back when you are ready.

You make a good point and I agree with what you said but that's why people need to learn how to gamble profitably because this is a game of chance we're talking about if the game is not going according to plan that means luck is not on the side of the player and the best thing to do during such time is to quit the game for another day.

A poet indeed. Gambling is no more fun when you are on the losing side. Anything gambling that involves money shouldn't be taken for granted. It should be taken with much seriousness. Gambling can make you rich and also make you poor at the same moment.

I think that is not contradictory because if you know you only use some money, let say it is about $50 for one-time to gamble, and no matter what the result, in the end, you will stop and leave the places. They will not regret that loss because they do not search for the winning, but it is more about searching for fun, enjoying their free time, and relaxing their minds. It is about using the money you can afford to lose and not trying to win because that will be difficult for you to realize that you are losing.

We can use a faucet if that site has that faucet, but not many gambling sites have that, so we can determine how much money we should use and afford to lose.

This is the way that a gambling fund needs to be treated, even the professional gamblers that earn money out of the activity have completely different allocations of money, the money they use for gambling is not used for anything else and the money they use for groceries and to pay for everyday things is never used to gamble, this hard separation of those two capitals is what allows them to gamble with confidence as they know that no matter what happens they are not putting themselves at risk of losing all of their money, and this is a policy we should follow.

My rule : If it is not fun anymore.... STOP!

I gamble for entertainment... because I like the thrill I get when I grafted hard and suddenly get that 1000x or more. Lately, with Covid.. it is a safe strategy to stay away from Malls and Movie theaters ...so gambling at home, replaced that.

I spend a little more on gambling, than what I should be... but it is still fun.. relaxing in front of the computer and having some wine and snacks and just watching the reels spin.  ;D

Nah. It should be if luck is not involved anymore.... Stop or else it will be gambling through emotions and the last time I checked the habit of not facing this reality about the game is what lead to the losses or addiction of some people.
Because it not always about fun or entertainment but trying out one's probability of winning.
Let's face the truth about the game and don't sugar coat it.

You should never risk all your money for the short term fun, just risk the money which is sitting just an extra amount in your wallet or don't gamble at all. But if you did that and failed then its not the end f the life, the life will be full of ups and downs so learn to enjoy the roller coaster instead of jumping from it in the middle.

I dont think that he's been sugar coating it because there are really people who do really play without minding too much about winning but i agree that majority of people who do play will typically aiming for us to win.
Who would really be eyeing out on losing your money that fast? none right?

People does have different approach towards gambling so if he sees that this is for entertainment which it is should be without minding on the money spent then let him be.

As long we do know to handle out ourselves then its none of others business on how we should gonna spend our money.

When we enter the casino platforms, most of us do it for fun, those who enter the casinos to try to substitute a salary, or want to become a millionaire is wrong, because it will simply fail, as I have said before, what should be done Firstly, it is to have a balance that you do not mind losing, secondly, to bet only that and finally not to worry and enjoy, when objectives are achieved it is profit, then it must be celebrated because sometimes we have a bit of luck but when not, we must accept the loss and move on.

It is a bad idea when we see the betting house and casinos if you lose wanting to take revenge, because it is worse, you would fall into vice and that is one of the biggest mistakes of some players and newbies.

Firstly, it is a nice story that is like a poetry.
This is actually what many people are doing hahaha
putting much money into gambling without considering the risks and the acceptance that they can afford to lose. And once they are losing, it will make stressful and only a few people can recover this stress immediately  :D

Happy to know about this. However, this may be no longer fun again if we used our all money for gambling and we lost it, sometimes, we are too afraid to go home because our family is probably waiting and our child is also expecting the gift.
But, it is awesome enough to recover from this suffer suddenly, moreover when having a hug with our beloved family.

Losing money in gambling will be always a problem and we know it.
What makes us know is losing will be fun if we actually have more intense winning than losing.
Losing money if it is not a high number of money, it may be okay and we can still enjoy the fun.
However, if we are all in and we lose, we will never own the money, I am not sure that most of us will enjoy the fun again.  ;D

Gambling is all about fun to me because I have enjoyed it while playing. I don't have much experience in this field so that I used to play very little amount. Because I don't want to lose my earning for gambling. In my area, many people already lost big amount in gambling and already start chasing with more amount. I disagree with those people. By the way, don't put all your earning in one place. Always stay with fun.

Glad that you have a friend that you can do that for you, but your friend can't do that to you every time you lose or fall, you must learn how to pick yourself up, in gambling, there are more instances where you lose than when you win, so if you are just going to rely on your friend to get you up everytime you lose, you will end up losing a friend, you must learn how to pick yourserlf up.

It is correct that it is the professionalism of the player that allows him, as a person, to overcome his passion and stop without touching money for everyday needs.  However, for this you still need to have a completely pragmatic mindset and be smart enough and not too reckless.  It is the combination of such qualities, in my opinion, that is the main property of those who are considered professional players.
But I don’t think that such people get much pleasure and fun from such a specific job.  :)

next time , Only bring the amount you can afford to lose so this will never happen again , and also that is the strategy for all of us gambler.
There is always someone to stand by us we just need to ask for their help, not in financial but in emotional and someone you can stand by side.
So you have a best friend ? that's good indication to have someone to lean on.
Nope that's wrong , because We must always remember the Losses as this will serve a warning always.so it will never happen again.

If I am your friend I will not comfort you, I will just advise you to only play what you can afford to lose because this is how gambling should be, it will cause depression and sleepless night if you gamble with your savings, your friend should not be your comforter when it comes to gambling, you should be the one to comfort yourself and learn to stand on your own.

Those people who don't mind about losing are using faucets or only have small amount.  But majority really aims to win especially those whales since they will never bet more huge amount as if they are chasing if they just want to have fun on gambling site. And I really don't imagine on why people go here for enjoyment since this is game of chance or luck which can cause us heart palpitation 😁.

in gambling winning is indeed a pleasure, but losing even for a gambler does not feel sad. because gambling is a form of hobby that is our flesh and blood, the business of winning or losing playing keeps on going. Until we meet at a point where we will stop. the soul of the gambler will continue to flow. Our simple concept of gambling becomes a benchmark for continuing to have fun playing.

Chasing losses or something that do talk about taking some revenge on the casino would really just make the situation even more messier and if you dont like for you to experience such unfortunate situations then you should mind off on the actions that you would make because it will surely reflect out on what are the possible things you would be facing on.Dont loose the fun while you do play in spite even if you are losing
then the primary reason on why we do play is because for entertainment or we do like to have some thrill and excitement.

People just really taken it too seriously into a farther extent which we shouldnt really do at all.It will result into actions that will not really be that appealing at all.

That depends on the friend, if that friend is a saint, I don't think that we should worry about that person because no matter what other people might say, that person is going to help, I mean in the core, isn't that the point of helping people? You will help them until they change and until you can. But that doesn't discount the fact that you should be responsible for your actions and as @coin-investor says, picking up yourself.

IMO helping other people because of gambling is not that much responsibility of a friend. Your friends can give some advice and help you cope up with your unhealthy gambling habits. Thanks to them that they are helpful, so it's best if the one that has a unhealthy gambling habits also help himself up and try to live atleast quite different life if his gambling career isn't helpful to him.

But at least a Saint Friend will still not consent our gambling addiction i Guess/ and even how good our friend is when We abused them from our gambling addiction for sure this will Leave us and will keep distance from us.

First of all, this is not about poke nosing into other people affairs but saying the truth about the game (I guess one truth will always hurt).
No gambler in the world will pray or hoping to lose in every single or just focus on entertainment even if the fund is the amount he can afford to lose, they just let go of their lost cause they understand the concept of the game.

Let's be realistic.



You got my point. I guess some people still don't understand that gambling is not always about the fun alone and it will never be.

Sometimes we find it difficult to give advice or help to addicts, even I am often annoyed at being asked to borrow by friends because it's just gambling even though the reason for borrowing is for other purposes, so I think addicted gamblers are brought to psychologists so that they know how to stop slowly in this matter.
Indeed limiting myself, maybe you can say that I can still be controlled when the funds are running low, but still it is our responsibility how to avoid a downturn after many defeats in gambling.

I have friend who's addicted on gambling. He always asking me to lend him some money and offer me some of his valuable material in exchange. I always just give him small amount of money instead of lending his desired funds. Sometimes I feel kinda annoyed whenever he ask me for money because I know that he will just waste it but its hard to ignore a friend even though that friend is shitty.  :D

I guess, Only God can change this kind people to stop there addiction.

As a gambler, I experienced big money loss. It's almost depressing experience whenever those kind of loss happens. Despite of that, I've learnt to deal with those losses myself. I just hope I can manage my emotions for my proceeding future of my gambling career. Besides, there are also times that I'm very joyful since my winnings is bullish haha. The sad part however is those times that you could just lost those big payouts. So I thought myself to cashout some of the winnings before playing again.

You are the ones who had been tolerating for him to play and if you do hope that he wont really be addicted on gambling then you should at least give him a piece of advice.

Well, i cant really blame you on because once a friend would really ask out some favors then its really hard to resist but it isnt really bad to make out some suggestions or tips or advises
specially you do know on what are the common things where gambling addiction do ends up.

Losing money is not something that you can enjoy thats why some people do chase it up instead.

If you are a good friend and take care of him you should ignore and advise him, don't let your friend get addicted to gambling, and if you keep giving him what he asks for then you support him and he will keep asking.
You have to be firm and give advice about his kindness even though you feel sorry for him when he seduces, but you have to do your best so that he can control what he wants.

I've experienced it with my friend, have to be patient for him to realize and process if we really care.
and when he asked for money I gave advice and besides that I would give money but not to gamble and I would give him money to eat or what he needed as a distraction to be able to chat and advise him, finally with my patience and process my friend realized it.
maybe I am a bridge from God to change it and if it weren't for God, I wouldn't try to change it.

There are no words to say in your thread.
Everything you write about your gambling experience has been modified into poetry.

Very touching.
I'll reciprocate and give you some encouragement.

These words were spoken by a distinguished writer.
It is more touching than what we have been through and lived through.

Which is as it should be really, gambling is supposed to be fun and it should be used as a way to relax after a difficult week in your job and something similar, but people think they can earn money with it, and while it could be true during the short term we know this is not true for the long term, and many people despite knowing this keep gambling trying to win because they have lost so much money that they cannot simply accept it and move on and that is wen they lose even more money they could not afford to lose.

In fact, I think that any person knows approximately how much he was captured by the excitement of the game.  However, not everyone can resist the temptation to play more in order to win.  Here in the human brain begin to fight, roughly speaking, the "devil" and common sense.  And after all, the devil often wins and man loses everything in general.  Not everyone is able to resist this temptation.  Therefore, this topic is interesting because BTT users write here, but the game does not always end in fun. 
But, I think that a small number of people suffer from gambling addiction, all the same, the majority can have fun and have fun from these games. 
It is for this category of players that there is a conversation that started OP.
He opened an interesting topic, he is great
 :)

Was that supposed to be a poem ?  :P

Losing is an essential part of gambling. Most of the people who gamble often lose their money in gambling.
This is exactly why they say you should never put more than the amount you can afford to lose in gambling/investments.
But yeah what you mentioned is exactly true. Even if you lose, we should not lose the hope and continue to have fun while gambling.
Fun is what gambling is meant for.

Or better quit when you are not enjoying and fun about gambling activities because for sure you are missing something good about it.
Tell that to yourself when you are losing continuously and for multiple times.

I believe that having fun in these cases is curative, when some lose it can affect them, it is not bad, but there remains the satisfaction that at least they had fun, when people play they must be aware of when they can lose, so that they do not fall into depression if they spend more than they should.

And so when they play again, they have another type of thinking and what they can do based on that experience in which they lost, which is not pleasant at all. Sometimes I lose playing, but losing I learn many things and also have fun, not to mention when I win.

That's very true. Learning from our experiences is what makes us stronger in the long run.
I have personally lost a lot in gambling and trading and this has made me stronger. So even when I lose the next time, I don't care much about the amount lost.
On the other hand, I never gamble/trade with larger amount. Only gamble for fun.

You lose, you win but you are supposed to lose more times than your winning time and that is how the gambling system was designed. So never think that you can multiply your money using gambling because it is not an investment or any return yield schemes, it can bring profits if you are lucky so don't blame anything even yourself for losing the money because it is not in your hand.

Oh goodness, No

That's not how it's supposed to GO!!

You have to know your limit

Otherwise you are nothing but a dimwit!!

Gambling is sports, it's Fun

But without planning it helps none!

Look out for your losses and winnings

This is not your life's final innings.

Keep some money in store for your daily life,

Otherwise man it would be hard for you to find a Wife.


Lol sorry idk why I wanted to reply to your poem like this but please be careful what you mentioned is nothing but addiction! Therefore seek help. You cannot just use everything and with friends like peter you should be much more careful. Plan more skilfully.

It sounds like an interaction with a gay friend lol, and it's partly true.
The fun mindset should be at the beginning, not after you lost miserably.

Since Peter gave you a high dose of copium, I hope he didn't give you hopium as well. Something like bet more to regain your losses. The chance is you will lose more.
The good thing is, human is very capable of learning from mistakes and coming back from epic failures.

You will earn more, but not from gambling.

Agree lol. Exactly losing is a part of the fun. Of course having is costing you money but gambling is an entertainment first of all and what entertainment costs no money?

https://i.imgur.com/4SXboGB.png

Of course, I read it like poetry mixed with disappointment.

The pleasure of gambling is expensive, but it is not uncommon for them to leave gambling feeling angry and disappointed. Anyone who gamble must be able to accept defeat, because losing is a sure thing in gambling and winning is hope. Preparing to lose is tough, many people just want victory and money.

*weak self-control + high greed = always losing...
agree with your words that gambling is designed only to make you lose, but do you realize that when we gamble, we already have a winning moment, it's just that our desire is too greedy and makes our logic lose.

mate, I simply disagree on what you likely believe as if it was designed like that then it is not a Gamble anymore. In gambling it should always be 50-50 in regards of odds on winning and losing.  Even if you somewhat adjust it to a higher percentage it can also be considered, but as what you said, J suppose you meant for it as 100% for the losing side LoL,
And that's already out of this industry, it will never be accepted if gambling was made only for you to lose.

You cant blame out people on having those kind of impressions because most gamblers do really eventually lose in the end of the line thats why you can really see up these kind
of perception towards gambling even though you do disagree then we do have our own freedom of speech and opinion about it.Too much gambling could really neither end up on profitable
or totally loss and that will always vary on how lucky you are when you do play gambling.It isnt something always to be on the losing side but thats already been
part of the reality.

Well, yeah you do have a point as there really is a contradiction between the reality and to its real meaning, so yeah  can't blame you there. Luck -99%

There is always a possibility of a high win. It is just that it's not that high and not easy to achieve. You'll be needing goodlucks for these winnings tho. Personally I would recommend to paused from playing when you were able to hit good profit from your playing time as there's a good chance that your winnings will just be sucked in again, especially on slots.

Nice script Mate ..

Wait , Have you created this Post to remind people ? or this is your true experience ? I love the delivery and the rhyming It sounds like Real one that put into Poem..

But the thing is he is now learning and i think  will never do that again.

To gamble everything when you can just stop a while and return back in the next days.

I also used to gamble quite a lot and lose on trading too.  However, it must be borne in mind that the fact that you are losing it can be completely different money.  It's one thing when it's honestly earned money, another thing when it comes without much difficulty, for example, an inheritance or, by the way, tokens received in 2010-2014, when they were worthless.  I think that when you lose money in the game, the reaction also depends quite strongly - the one who got the money without difficulty can laugh more.  And who honestly earned money may not be so funny at all.
 :)

That's agreeable, the money that you used got a big difference, if the intentions is for completely having a good time whatever happened you'll easily forget about it and move forward.

But once the money you are using is from your hard-earned savings then that's another different thing as you'll not comfortable in losing it and once the red streak comes up you'll be force to make a big mistake trying to recover and the fun is no longer  there but instead regrets and stress will be there to chase you.

That's a really good point. The source of money used for gambling does make a huge difference.
Sometimes I use the money from airdropped tokens for gambling and often lose them all without any bad feelings.
Sometimes I use my earned money for gambling and lose it and then get a little sad.
But it's all in good spirit. Gambling is meant only for fun.

Also, another thing is that it doesn't hurt much when we used profits earned from gambling itself to gamble more and lose.
For example: If I lose the $10 I deposited for gambling then that would hurt me a little.
But if I had gained 3x profits from it and then lost $10 then that wouldn't make much a difference since I would be in profit anyway.

So indeed if we only rely on our own money, it will be very painful when we lose the feeling of regret there must be, but only relying on airdrops or free money is much better especially being able to reverse it with a bigger multiplier, in gambling we must be able managing financial management from which we have to spend because if you only rely on emotions it often becomes the deepest regret.

I have felt a lot in gambling, so there we must be able to understand how not to be repeated in error with what you mean, I think it is quite meaningful and we can apply it where we become disciplined gamblers.

Nice one OP. Don't lose the fun hahaha I love the poem. It has a bit of humor but sends a strong message.

Yes it has but most people wont really be that on having some fun while they do lose up their funds or money.We know that it is something valuable to us and losing could really give out that emotional
impact which cant really be avoided no matter how you do input into your mind about no having fun towards gambling activity.

We do gamble for fun for some people but for the majority then it is money making thats why they do really take it seriously and this is when addiction do mold up.

This is pretty basic but lots are really failing on this area.

You are right, here it is very important to manage emotional intelligence, it is an issue that very few give the respective importance, but when we play, confidence, security and hope are evident, which many translate into luck, and if you have to see a lot with luck and the "random", if it is lost it is obvious that it has an emotional impact that can transform into stress and something negative, unless you are a very millionaire person and it does not affect you and still does affect, yes is the person with a high degree of emotional maturity transmutes that emotion to fun, and that is what is actually sought.

^ Your experience was not about fun. It was actually a lesson. Please do not justify it. You did not do it for fun. You did it because of something else. The thing that you need to work out with yourself. I hope you learned from this experience that gambling is only for fun. Avoid being attached to it again and it will eat you up. There are no shortcuts in life.
And you did what you did because you knew you had a chance to win and earn easily. But that’s too good to be true. Nevertheless, go, learn how to make it without doing any shortcuts. You’ll get there soon. Do not give up.

I think there was a time in which Michael Jordan was criticized because he was seen in a casino gambling and losing a significant amount of money, I have never seen that quote but it is correct, as long as you are using gambling in the way that is supposed to be used which is as just another form of entertainment then you're good to go, in that case there is nothing wrong with gambling because as you say almost every form of entertainment has an inherent cost to it and gambling is no exception.

I can't judge how original my idea is that if a player managed to stop after a serious loss, then the very idea that he managed to stop should bring him fun.  Because if he had no luck further, he would have lost more and then there would have been no time for fun.   :)
Of course, this is my guess, but I suppose this topic that started  OP should be continued.  Here the loser can find consolation and those who do not enjoy the loss at all.  
Maybe they read the posts, distract themselves from the obsessive thought of losing.
 ;D

This "something else" is called aзapт in Russian. Google translates it as "excitement" but I tell you that translation is not even close. An emotion that you feel nowhere but while gambling. It even talks  :D "let's win back all money you lost by betting a big amount" or "let's play for the last time before sleep". Very hard to take full control.

There is no doubt that many people gamble for the adrenaline rush that they get when they gamble, when you are gambling on your own in an online casino this is not possible to be seen however when you take your time to gamble in physical casinos it is very easy to see who is there to just pass some time, who is there to try to beat the casino and who is there to try to get that adrenaline rush and unfortunately those people are the ones that have a higher chance of ending up being addicted to gambling.

Reality on where you can really have these kind of thoughts when you play no matter how you do control up yourself or fully aware on whats happening but still
you would really be able to feel up those kind of emotions or able to mind to chase up those losses or bet still since you do have money to spare with it.
Until you had found yourself into the verge of impulsive behavior.Im not talking generally since there are still people who can really resist
that kind of temptation when you do play which it do progress out as you go ahead.

I would argue that "fun" in relation to gambling critically depends on how much of your net worth you are putting on the line. It is easy to confuse fun with adrenaline, and it is also easy to confuse things depending on the outcome. If you risk too much but win, you call it fun. Would you still if you lose? I think there is the major difference. You go into a casino, have great control over your bankroll yourself, and maybe you lose but still had a great night. Probably not the case if you just gambled with money that was supposed to serve some important other thing in your life and you lost.

Speaking of net worth, I think that is too deep already.

Gambling is just for anyone who like to enjoy, anyone who has money to risk, I guess we just have to talk about being responsible and put money that we can afford to lose, actually fun is always there, even those addicted in gambling are having fun but they are just not concern o the risk, that's why they usually regret in the future.

As we know people have a lot of different hobbies and what could be fun for someone it could be incredibly boring for someone else and even people do not enjoy gambling for the very same reasons, one of the reasons of why I like to gamble in physical casinos is because if you go with your friends then even if you spend very little money you are going to have a lot of fun not only during the time that you are there but also when you recall going to the casino so that makes it a very fun experience, and even if you go alone you can met a lot of interesting people there so as long as you keep the money that you lose under control you can get a lot of entertainment for very little cost.

We all have different ways or hobby to have fun. But I think when it comes to gambling we should be responsible doing it. I agree with you that the fun will always get there when you inside the casinos even losing money. So my advice is to put limitations how much money you can spend in gambling so that no matter what happen, win or loss, you still have budget for your daily expenses or allowances. Besides gambling is not a prerequisite to living of you best life. Gambling addiction destroyed life so gamble responsibly.

I agree. Having fun is great but it is always best when costs are minimised, specially when it is all out of your own pocket. Though, in most cases, you always join in for the fun even when you know you'll probably lose - so, it's all about the mindset!

Well, if you want to have fun at the expense of your own life/wellfare then you should stop gambling. As a rule, gambling is for fun not your pay check. You can't rely on odd luck for getting your next month's rent paid...

Well it is hard to have fun when you are loosing your money specially when you are too focus on winning.
I had experience of it, Even though I am loosing I am still having fun maybe not on the game but still having fun while gambling.
I had fun that day because of a great news that I received and decided before I received that news I already sent money on a gambling site so I decided to play it no matter what.

Its actually talking about self acceptance because not all is really that aware nor accepted that once they had gambled they would really experience loss most of the time.

When you do already set out your mind that you would really loss then having those losing bets wont really be affecting you that much unlike when you do hope for some win
and trying to force it then that would really be giving out different impression or reactions.

Who does like to lose? none right and even if you do accept that you'll lose but experiencing those losing moment isnt something easy for you not to react.

thats because your foccus is to win but if your foccus is to play the game no matter what , you can put a smile in your face during and after your gambling session .

what do you mean not in the game ? your already playing a game when your gambling .

so you expected that youl be recieving a great news ? thats no surprise then but i like that tactic of yours . if this is the only way for you to have a guts playing and dont care if you loose , you can do this often .

That's wrong because if you Know how to treat gambling for sure you will Not mind being sad when you lose.

Look at it, Some people gambles for fun and they already Knew what will come but yet they stay happy right?

that is the right term in which Gambling is helpful , for us to be happy and not greedy.

You want to have fun then gamble the money you afford to lose rather than gambling all your fund and when you lose you have nothing left. If you gamble the fund you afford to lose then you have fun which is sweeter and you still have some money which you can still enjoy and have fun but not in gambling.

I must admit that the fun of losing money is much more fun in a traditional casino, where it also happens in a public atmosphere.  That is, you most likely will not be able to get mad enough to "smash furniture and break glass".   ;D
However, sitting at a computer or mobile phone can sometimes be so much fun that you then have to buy a new monitor or phone.  
In general, this is also fun when you completely cool down and move away from anger. ;D

Hard to tell that you would really be enjoying and seeing your money had been lost to gambling even though you do say that you do play for entertainment but it cant really be avoided

that you would really be get stressed but there are people whom doesnt really care if they lost that money which supposed to be like that but people cant really just resist on not
to chase up their losses.

Dont loose the fun but there are instances that you get stressed when you do lose.Just enjoy the game and play for your leisure.

You can achieve that Just by treating gambling for Fun and not for Greedy attitude.

There are many Gamblers that pretend to be controllable but in the end? addiction is what they are showing.

Of course the Ambiance is much Better than just betting online and no other people connection .

---

Smashing furniture? i never tried that but Breaking my Mobile because of losing huge is what i Did lol ..

there is no fun in losing all your money in gambling but yes a little entertainment can change that. its always good to have hope in mind despite everything that goes wrong. you have something to believe in to continue life. just like those who are in prison and then still writing something on the wall to remember the good days or clip a picture from the past where good times are still felt. its just money, you can earn it again.

That is right. We forget too often that money is just money. A creaton of humen. You need it to buy food and to have a roof to be secured from the weather and nasty animals. Not more, but not less. You need to continue. That is the most important aspect.

its Just money and that is correct but the problem is that Money can change your life if not spent wrongly ? you can have other area to gain aside from gambling if you will only have a right attitude and manner in gambling.
Remember that We cannot beat the House and we cannot beat the gambling all the time.

I think depends on the situation because there are gamblers who always want to play a revenge game it's too hard to accept the game that you lose a ton of money, it's too hard to find a person like that unless you have a source of money or income that might still sustain for your gambling entertainment. It's rare to see a person ignore how much they lose and entertain their gambling. This is the reason why we always gamble responsively always control ourselves for an unexpected occurrence it's an all-or-nothing game.

That's a lot of people who always want to take revenge for their previous defeat, there are also those who want to multiply their money instantly so it's not just fun, so gambling has many goals for those who have funds according to their needs, meaning does not impose on personalities in the real world and this is purely because of pleasure, well that gamblers always differ in their desires.

If they often lose in gambling, of course this will bring them stress because gambling is mostly from addicts who want to take revenge with their losses.

^ Nah, it is not hard to sustain your gambling if you have a source of income and at least 5% of it were on gambling which is obviously that you can afford no matter what is the outcome, win or lose did not have an effect on all your financial status. But I admire gamblers who did not treat revenge if they will lose, because as I understand what you have said that revenge is chasing your loss which not a good idea. Nevertheless, this is very simple, just gamble of what you can afford and have fun, if you can not do this, then gambling is not meant for you and that is definitely right, if you lose your fund, dont lose your fun.

But there are people who cant just accept on what they do have in mind when they do play in gambling which is to make money and would spend out money as long they do have inside into their pockets.Its not really that common for most gamblers for them to stop when they had already depleted out their balance or allocated funds because majority isnt on the right control and do continue in spite of the losing situation.
If all people do able to manage out on having their control into this manner then gambling wont really be that too much profitable because gamblers could eventually stop or having that limit.
Gambling is for entertainment as it should be but people do really over exert that much.

That depends on one's desires. I consider money to be so much more than just a resource to buy food and maintain an ordinary life. In today's world, money - is an opportunity. What you are using that opportunity for depends on you. For instance, for me, money plays an important role in education and self-development. Surely, nowadays there are loads of free sources and opportunities, but they'll never offer as much as you can acquire with the money because it's an extremely rare case for someone very qualified to give away knowledge and advice for free.
To have a lot in the future one should be prepared to give away a lot in present, to invest in oneself.

You gamble to lose money, don’t expect to double your money every time you gamble. If you take your losses seriously, then you might be on trouble controlling your emotion with regards to your losses. If you lose, accept it and gamble for your entertainment, if you’re a small time gambler don’t treat gambling as your main source of income at all cost.

Everytime one won't be lucky to win out of gambling. When you find yourself lucky just have the perfect money management and make the profit. Most of the gamblers get into massive loss due to mismanagement of funds. When you're capable of doing it in the right way you can atleast limit your losses even when you're on the losing streak. Gamble for fun will turn into real-time try, so always we need to be careful.

I mean, come on, who likes losing? No one right? The worst part of losing when gambling is the fact that usually hard earned money disappear because some lack of control. Gambling should remain on a fun side most of the time and never enter in that grey area that cause troubles

almost 80% of those who come to gambling are those who are not ready to lose but don't deserve to win. they think gambling is the best and fastest way to make money and forget the "fun" side of gambling itself.

the more you are afraid to lose, the more you lose, so that before starting gambling we must also prepare mentally to lose today and play again in the future.

When reality slapped you into the face then you would really be finding out on whats the reality then you would really be get frustrated when you do lose and its no fun on losing.

Accepting the reality and be aware on how gambling works and how it does give out that losing feeling then you should really be prepared for that.Dont aim on getting profits or having
win in the end of the day because that wont really be simple as it sounds,

Gambling is for leisure or entertainment and you should stick into that principle but if you do already aim on making profits then that's an another
opposite thing.

Life is about lose and gain, that is the nature of life.  Even if you lose don't allow it to run you down and make you feel depressed.  Just take it in good fate that their are days like that. And the days for the wins is also coming. Do not take lose too serious, taking it as fun will give you the mind set that it's normal.

You are right in what you say, but in an eventual loss you cannot die or commit suicide, what was lost was lost and something had to have been won, and that is the experience, perhaps getting out of control was not the strategy, but when it happens there is no turning back, you have to assume the loss and take it as fun, something like when you go out to a disco and spend a salary, something like this because it is the best way to take it and then raise your head and recuperate. I do not see any other alternative, it must be taken as an expensive teaching under which it cannot fall again.

Is there really fun in loosing one's funds because in the process of you loosing your money it wouldn't be funny withing you except you have already made up your mind that you are going to lose the said money you are gambling with but if that is not your mind set then it will not be really funny loosing money brother.

You're right its part of our lives so we have to deal with it.

We just need to learn how to take our losses positively for us to move on without having regrets. Thats why dont risk the money you cant afford to lose (in general not only in gambling).

On the other side if you cant stand having losses then its better to dont gamble at all.

It is not said to Have Fun when you lose, but at least you can enjoy the moment while playing so If ever you lose at least you have fun while on the table?

we are in gambling of course for the hope to Make our funds increases , but it doesn't mean that we will always win as we already Knew that more often we lose than winning.

so with all of those, then why not Enjoy every seconds while in game than look for Win and then cry after losing .

That perspective is wrong to me when you enter the world of gambling prepare for your loss, not in your win. Cause if you think that you always win for sure if the times will come that your luck is over and you will lose for sure you will not bet again, or leave-in gambling.
But if you are already prepared for your loss and the time will come that your luck is over you will say that it's okay no problem I will bet again,.

Everything must be ready, including in its responsibilities, gambling is not losing or winning, but we must be ready with our consistency that the game always wins and loses, therefore in my perspective it should be as if we are going to start over, and remember that gambling with the desire to win continuously is not maybe but I just think that luck will come and end, but not forever.
But we see in the title, don't be sad when you lose, let us have fun even though we have lost in gambling.

I feel like this title is backwards, meaning we'll get upset when we lose money because we lose, and happy when we win. So in my opinion, we can not still feel happy if our money runs out due to losing bets. so, bet wisely, just make sure how much you want to bet, then control your emotions and don't be too lustful to reclaim them.

It's probably because it's not the "losing" factor part, rather what you should mind is the process of the game itself. Yes, losing isn't fun but it isn't everything when you actually consider how games work. Though what I'm saying is probably close to bs most of the time due to the fact that the process in gambling itself IS rather short, to the point where it could be called nonexistent. OP's mindset might just work on other types of games but not really in gambling where it's a simple luck-based match. Maybe poker could count? But simple games such as slots? Pretty sure it's to each their own in that case.

"Luck-based" have you forgotten that some are skilled based or is it that you have know idea that skilled based gambling exist. We all know that wining all the time is not all that possible but as human being none of us will be optimistic or be having a mind that you are going to lose but we all have a mind the we will win while playing gambling and is just that truth.

I understand your idea of meeting friends and playing poker, but that the meaning of little money in poker is always dangerous, playing $ 1/2 games with a friend may be thought to be little but the reality is that in the long term you can end up losing large sums, especially if you play the NLH variant.

It's really very risky to gamble all out. Risking everything that you have is not really a good move. You should only risk what you can afford to lose and this applies to almost everything. Once you want to enter something, you should do your own research to avoid regrets and losses. After researching, you should know how to manage risks and do risk assessment the moment you already made up your mind that you will enter and dive into it. Because once you go all-in, you will really feel the devastation once you lose your bet all at once. It will be frustrating most especially if you staked everything that you have and left nothing for your future self to use.

The moment you lose everything will be the moment for some to wake up and come back to their senses. It's really saddening that some people really have to experience the worst before taking notes of the steps needed, when in fact it could have been prevented if they weren't so stubborn. But I guess that's life and we just really have our own ways in life.

But also please do remember that not all the time there will be someone to comfort you during your darkest days. Sometimes you'll just be left all alone, with no shoulder to cry or lean on and that's the reality. I agree that you have to be stronger and should bounce back and recover despite the losses. However, I disagree big time that you should forget the losses just because winning is sweet. No, that shouldn't be the case. You should remember your losses and take them as a learning experience in your life so that you won't be able to make the same mistakes again in the future. You don't have to sulk and take your failure to the heart, but you have to carry the lesson that situation has taught you. Eventually, you will come back stronger and wiser than ever and I think that is the beauty despite the failure. Just remember the next time around the values from your previous worst scenarios and use it to your advantage.

Dont know how it is possible not to lose fun, when every loss is a disappointment. When you gamble, you expect to win and not just spend time clicking roll or spin. Besides, if you work hard (or at least do something to get money) and lose, how can you keep smiling after? For me, money dont come easy and fall from the sky. Losing in gambling is not a disaster, but with every lose I feel bad inside.

I think it will be difficult to still be able to feel fun when you lose, especially if you lose money more than what you can afford.
Luckily you have a friend who can calm down the chaotic feelings that you are being experienced, hopefully your best friend will advise you to only use money that is not used for daily needs and also to be able to control yourself so can't being in gambling addiction

Fun and money both are needed to remain happy. If you lose money in gambling, it's difficult to believe that you will remain happy. The reality is that fun is linked with your funds.
There are very few gamblers who do not mind losing money and those are the ones who are very rich.

You need to be able to play or take risks and be prepared for the fact that you will lose everything. Many people in this world take risks, both emotionally and with a cool head. Any casino or anything related to a casino will always beat you, so think carefully before playing.

What a sad story, my friend. It's a mix of disaster and loneliness. :'(
I believe OP didn't think it was funny to lose hid funds. He is just trying to overcome his loss emotionally, so he won't suffer anymore for this bad move he made, gambling with more money he could lose. And in order to assist him to do that, he had to summon his imaginary friend from the childhood times to give him some piece of comforting advice.

With some responsability next time, I'm sure he will be able to avoid a similar situation when gambling. Respect your budget/bankroll limits is the most important lesson to be learned here.

who is happy when they lose money in gambling? honestly i get very annoyed when i lose money in gambling, i am not just playing because i want to have fun, i gamble because if i win i will use the profit to buy something or to trade or something else. It wouldn't make sense to spend hours analyzing a game just for fun and then lose money and be happy, that would be crazy, I'm sorry but it's my opinion

In some cases, it is important to take risks in order to do something good, but knowing the consequences can protect you from the dangers that lie ahead. Some people are so emotional that they don't even think twice before making any decision. So in order to gamble, the player must have the ability to control himself, otherwise the owners of the gambling website will get the full benefit.

There's no enjoyment when you do lost money on your game even if you do say that play for fun but once you do lost then those fun of yours would be completely be replaced with stress and anger.

A normal thing to happen since we are just humans then those kind of reactions would really be something normal and this is where real experience do sets in on where those people who are

aware those consequences or had able to experience will really be able to handle out their emotions and act accordingly on what they had anticipated.

You would definitely lose your fun when you do lost your capital but if you dont mind about the money had been spent then you would just move on and continue playing but its really hard to say the least
that we wont really be making out some reactions because we dont really like to lose money and losing money will lose the fun as always but you shouldnt really mind off too much
when you are dealing with gambling because this is the most common situation you would really be facing on.

Well you have a point, --there are people who gambled just for the money they will get but I think from the start we know that the less percentage was we accepted already the fact that we will lose. That is why I gamble money that I can afford so that whatever happens win or lose I still have money in my pocket and can gamble the next day.
No one will be happy for a loss especially if that is a massive loss but why do people keep gambling even though they know this fact.

the fact is addiction ,every gambler knows we will lose in gambling but we will also win in gambling ,trying our luck to get money in gambling is easy and short ! an addicted gambler does not realize that he has become a heavy addict ! when you win at gambling then you will continue to try with big bet but only luck on small bet ,that means bad luck on big bet so gamblers often lose in that rule ^{"try a small bet if you're lucky increase your bet" don't try it I often get stuck with that rule}

I guess many gamblers who lose their money will be sad, especially those who lose big money.
But that will not happen if they do not spend more money and only search for fun things in gambling.
We can feel that it is too much if we analyze a game to try to win the games but the other gamblers who always use that way will not feel like that because they think that by doing that, they can find a way to win.
We will know what we need to do in gambling so if we want to have fun, we should understand how much money we will use to gamble.

Actually that is the essence of the thread mate , because nothing we can do when we lose right? so at least let us consider the benefit of the fun and Joy our betting brings , because accept it that while playing we really have fun specially in moment that we are gaining (but of course the following bets turns losses and this will end everything)
i think the idea of OP is to let us know that there are other side of gambling that it is not just playing to solely win but also to consider the fun while playing so whatever happens we will not regret our decisions.
and besides i also believe that Happiness attracts luck  so the more you are a happy gambler is the more you may win.

It's a wrong approach if you are not having fun and you are pressured to make money, casinos should be the last place that you should think of to make money, it is stated in every casino's TOS, and every expert will discourage you to gamble for money, playing in a casino should be fun and full of excitement if you can't do it don't play.

I am aware that I can lose money by gambling, it is important to be prepared to deal with that situation. It is true that if a player loses money then that player becomes mentally unprepared and goes further towards making bad decisions. Those who gamble just for fun if they can't control their emotions also make wrong decisions after losing and as a result they lose more money.

No one is happy when we lose money in gambling, of course, we certainly have feelings of regret and emotion in this, but the fact is that we have played so we must be ready to accept that responsibility.
When winning is more than gambling, of course I won't play it all and I'd better find something else to do to manage the money or other needs, but if the winning money is used to gamble again then be prepared to lose again.
I will never analyze a game for hours on end I just rely on luck.

If you dont make yourself get prepared on possible situations or scenarios that you would really able to encounter or you do simply had that mindset or belief that gambling could make you rich then

once the reality would slapped into your face then you would really realized that gambling wasnt created for that  sole purpose.It isnt to make people rich but rather make them broke.

Only on the other side on whose those lucky ones would able to pull it off on making wings and the rest are totally losers thats why self admission about how gambling
works and things attached should really be realized  first before dealing on this one.

While I'm not a big fan of whatever attempt at poetry that may be, there is certainly a big truth in the title of the thread. However, it's better to learn self control and bankroll management rather than simply blowing out in one session. Blowing out and having to reload is inevitable when you play zero skill games like slots, however if you play a skilled game like poker then it is possible to control your losses. It requires a strong will but if you have a bank roll equal to 25 buy-ins (say $250 and playing tables of $10 max) then you should probably stop the session if you manage to lose 3 buy-ins totaling $30 in short succession - because you're probably tilted and need a break to re-evaluate.

It's hard to have fun when funds are lost, really, really hard, it takes lots and lots of courage and self discipline for one to get over a lose talk more of for one to begin to have fun.

But if you're courageous enough to do this, then you're certainly a genius cause its really hard for some of us.

It is hard to talk the loss in gambling if you are using your hard-earned money and if you are allotting that fund to your family's needs.
But if it is an extra extra fund that you separate for entertainment purposes like in gambling, loss won't be that hard to accept.
So if you do want to enjoy your gambling activities, better spend only the amount that you know won't be hard to get from your pocket.
And that will give you better enjoyment of the games because you know, even if you lose, no one is relying from such funds.

professional gamblers make bets to make money, they are not just betting for fun, they are betting for profit and making big bets, here in the forum there are many people who trade to make money and not for fun. I'm particularly betting to win money, I have fun but my main objective is to make money with bets and I get angry and sad whenever I lose money, I recently won but then I started a losing streak, something that made me sad

However, I disagree with that, despite my multiple histories. When I see my bets marked as lost, there is nothing I can do to console my grief. This will also apply to others that I can guess easily. It is true that gambling as a method for earning extra income is not recommended, but many people have become wealthy through gambling. Winning money may be unlikely, but what is certain is that money can be won. Feels like I could live a wealthy life with those money.

Well they can get rich suddenly from gambling because of luck of course he is not new to gambling but has been in betting for a long time but when he wins big it is an absolute gift of luck, so many people are tempted and try it continuously, for me it still shouldn't be the main income from gambling.

Only we ourselves can do it to get rid of that sadness, if we are dissolved in sadness then for me there is no point, it's better to stay strong and make sure everything is ready for betting.

I agree but to get those wins, you'll never know if that would be your biggest win or biggest loss. There's uncertainty with gambling as a source of extra income.
You may earn but with great risk, unlike the usual methods that we use to earn money. But we cannot also hide those people that are making their lives through it especially the biggest risk takers.

Exactly,  it is not about winning always, when we loose let not allow it to border us ,such is life. Let just move forward and think of ahead how to make the win. Loosing sometimes gives the energy to win great win.

For that you have to make up your mind that you can lose and win, both in gambling. If you only have the feeling that you will end up winning, then losing will cause you much harm. You may become sad or play more revenge gambling to cover the losses which will further make your situation miserable.
