I’m not a regular gambler nor an addicted gambler but I recently experienced a terrible chasing loss that start with small amount. I’m on a day off on my job right now due to my minor flu. My feeling got better while I don’t have things to do on my work dormitory so I decided to just gamble for fun only.

My game start by just betting minimum bet on a blackjack table with my initial deposit of 85$ which is my signature campaign earning last week. I lose my initial bank roll with just few bets on consistent losses. I decided to deposit again but this time with higher bankroll which is 250$. I bet twice the minimum bet this time since my bankroll is higher, the result is much terrible loss.

Lastly, I deposit 1800$ to have a better bankroll again, This time I’m betting like a high roller and lucky manage to recover my losses and bag 150$ profit.

Conclusion: I will never gamble again when I’m bored or chase loss small amount. With this exhilarating experience. I think I will stop gambling for a long time and reflec on what dumb thing I do today.

SS of my game history:

You are indeed lucky, because this is just the way people start to gamble with small amount of money and later go for bigger amount like your savings or all the money that you have with you. What will later end it is the person finding himself that he got no money again as all has been used to gamble. Just quit gambling for now to have a better mindset. Do not go more than your gambling budget anymore, because you are lucky today, tomorrow may be very different.

I feel the real intensity of my mistake after I withdraw my funds. My hand is shaking and I think my flu come back again due to intense game. I just recently received my yearly bonus and other incentives at work that’s why I’m very confident on playing huge amount.

I can’t imagine what will I deposit when I still lose my 1800$ because I still have remaining balance on my bank account this time. I learned a lot of lesson today. Even a casual gambler can still commit a mistake like addicted gambler does when in dire situation.  >:( 

it was a bad start and you thought you felt better already just because it was just a minor flu. when you enjoy something, you also disregard the value of what you spend which turns out you deposit some more. did you notice that when you are with friends in a bar and you all enjoy you keep buying drinks without thinking you may have nothing for tomorrow?

when they say gamble for fun and not to make money, it actually means just go deposit more its just money what is more important is that you celebrate good times.  
did you take more pills than what is recommended?

You felt that thing because you are too anxious because you lose so much , better not to play when you are feeling well coz you are not in the mood of course , next time much better to play when you are physically and mentally stable and healthy , even being sad or lonely can lead your game sometimes to loses . But losing that much is not good hope you learn a lesson and hope you feel better soon.

Gambling can be a dangerous activity for those who are not careful. Many gamblers fall into the trap of chasing their losses, meaning that they continue to bet money in an attempt to win back what they have lost. Unfortunately, this often leads to a cycle of increasing losses, as the gambler continues to bet more and more money in a desperate attempt to recover their losses. Eventually, the losses become too great to bear, and the gambler is forced to stop. This behavior is alarming, as it can lead to financial ruin and other negative consequences. I felt this too before and lost not an enormous amount but only a considerable amount. I'm happy for you since you didn't lose, but don't do it again because luck is not always on our side.

This is what other gambler was  experienced and honestly I've been experienced like this before but sad to say When I deposit more then I loss more.  Technically speaking when we are aiming to recover our losses then we will loss. Unless we are lucky enough to win a good amount. Cause what I've been experiencing is that I deposit a $10 which is big amount of money convert to PHP money and then I will loss my $10 so I decided to deposit $30 and then I'll won and my money is increase UpTo $116 which is I have. Doubt If I'll gonna withdraw or not  so I'll stay playing end when times goes by  that $116 will totally loss and I regret  cause I am greedy and I didn't control my self is didn't stop betting when I won. So that's the reason why nowadays I'll think twice after my bet when I am loss 2x then I'll quit and relax.

Even after a terrible start, you got some luck behind you that helped you to recover from the loss.

But indeed it's not a good practice to follow as a responsible gambler, clearly in this instance too what would be your reaction if you lost that $1800 too if luck didn't work?

It's always better to stop at the initial stage itself if you feel the day doesn't belong to yourself or you maybe forced to chase loss.

Bad luck day maybe?  
It regularly happens though when you are in the card game and because the only way to get back to earning your loss is to double down then you gotta double down. All gamblers have experienced all these and sometimes multiple times. Since OP is not a regular gambler I guess it can happen over and over like it's the first time. Every time you get bored and play blackjack and then you wanna chase your loss, always remember this is not your first time.

Luckily you won in the end game because of the capital and bigger bets, so you recovered your previous losses, actually it would have been a problem if you had to lose again losing that $1800, but it seems luck was on your side and your self-confidence overcame your fear, It's a careless and reckless game in my opinion because chasing losses when basically before playing you have said that it's just for fun, you shouldn't chase after those losses.

But because you feel confident that you can recover your losses by increasing the amount of your deposit and bet, that's already quite reckless in my opinion, but it doesn't matter if you have won and withdrawn the money, at least your decision was right to rest and not gamble again until you are right. really want to play again later. I hope this will be an experience not to be done again in the future  ;D

You went from treating virus infection to loss of $2K+, that's really bad man, hard luck on that.

Permit me to use your word in the first paragraph, you said you wanted to gamble for fun which $85 deposit is fine since I don't know if that's your official currency or is just the amount you can afford to lose. If you have stop in the first bet, it will be understandable but you didn't stop, went ahead and did additional $250, this is where you should have cut your loss.

Adding $1800 deposit is nothing but poor gambling management and poor skills in betting, yes you heard me right because you don't want to use $1800 to recover $85+$250, how does that sound fun to you? Sorry for the loss but this is bad decision bro. Take care of your health and hard luck.

Celebration is only appropriate if you won something but if not, you just made a bigger problem. Just like with martingale wherein you’d be increasing your bets on each games which simply means bigger tendency to end up with huge loss. In this case wherein OP wanted to get back with his losses he used a bigger bankroll to may e have better chances. However, if it happened that his added bankroll just contributed with his previous losses then that is obviously a worse scenario. The only way to get back with previous losses is to increase your bet indeed but in my opinion it shouldn’t be something to do on a regular basis; you’d more likely just be more frustrated. Check if you are lucky or nor, then let things be. Never force something in gambling. Sometimes setting the goal which is to lessen the amount to be lost for a single day is better than to check for an amount to be used as a revenge from yesterday’s best. That’s just how luck works in this industry.

The series of losses must have triggered your adrenaline rush and it's what you wanted to gamble for fun. Luckily you won them back and profited in the end, not bad for a nongambler.  Congrats!  

This is funny to read. Did you think that only a regular gambler or an addicted gambler lose or what? The casino is indifferent to all this and will not figure out whether you are an old player or just came to play for the first time to clean out your pockets.

What if this step didn't lead to winning back? Would you deposit $5,000 to try to win back? This is how the casino gradually extracts money from their gamblers.

You got off very easily, and without financial losses, which does not happen very often in casinos. You have gained invaluable psychological experience and you are unlikely to want to experience it again. Use these negative emotions experienced (remember and feel) if you decide to play gambling games again.

But if someone do not have losses to learn, the person may still feel like to gamble with more money like this again, thinking the opportunity to make money will come again, but next time may not be like this. It is worth celebrating that he finally make profit from gambling, but he has to be careful not to gamble with more than the money that he can not afford to lose.

Chasing is never a good idea. Best to stay consistent in how you play. In nlackjack some like to increase bet on a win. For example I bet $25 and win a hand, next hand I wager $30. Keep increasing $5 til you lose. Other then that. I wouldn't recommend any sort of martingale or anything.

Good to hear that,  and more better if you can stick to your decision to stay away from gambling for a while even though in most cases that is not possible and at some point you may get back even before you know it worst still is that you ended in winning so you may still have that mentality of the try again spirit,  but much more also it will lead you to more loses.

Far from it is the ability to always move away from trying and taking such risks in the future since you may not be this lucky to walk away with any winning at all on like in this case.

I could remember the casino I started using not quite long that almost made me to chase my loses although I could see that it does not worth. I had no option than to leave the casino and not bet there for about few days before I decided to back and start gambling on the casino. The kind of winnings I had was very surprising to me because I never thought I could make such consistent winnings.

I think if everyone take this kind of decisions when they noticed that they are becoming addicted or having too much loses, it is good for us to leave gambling for a while that the loses would not affect our emotions if we continue to bet with any plans or taking a leave or rest for a while.

Gamble only what you can afford to lose and never chase your losses. Also, gamble responsibly. That's the basic rule of gambling. Not the only rules but in order to explain I am focusing on those rules specifically. What you have done, is a terrible mistake that a professional gambler should never do. It is bad for starters too. Gambling is best on luck. You may win or you may lose. And in a place where your skill doesn't matter and won't improve your gambling luck, chasing your losses in a situation like that is foolish. You have made some losses and some wins, but the losses were higher.

When you gamble using your money, consider that money already gone. Gambling is for entertainment only when you don't stake money that you can't afford to lose. Whenever it comes to money, it does not stay as an entertainment. It becomes an addiction for making money or recovering what you have already lost. I hope you never make the same mistake again.

Chasing loss in gambling is not really good because at the end you might loss everything you have. And that is the mindset of many gamblers. They think the their next game will give them what they have loss from the previous game and they loss out again and bet or play again until everything in the pocket or in the wallet is exhausted before their eyes always open to see and the brain open to understand that they wouldn't used all their money for the gambling or they wouldn't chase the loss. chasing loss is not always a favorable thing to do.

It is very difficult to not chase loses at first time,it takes experience like that James Franco meme here described it extremely well so it will be learned with the passing of time.It is not easy as I said as I apply this logic,from the money I intend to deposit to play I think what other can I do with them and this leads me to only deposit 20% of the original amount and the other I use for other purposes,this makes me not care much if I lose or win and it is one of the best strategies to not chase loses.Yesterday I played Wild West Duel from Pragmatic and kept buying the Beer Game bonus which was generous at first and then greed got me and choose Lost Relic bonus,high cost 400x bet compared to x100 of Beer Game and lost it all in an instant,yet I did not chase this type of loss as I only played a small amount.This can be applied by anyone else.

Lucky for you, at least you were able to recover all your losses and an extra $150 as profit while gambling, which i'm sure all these wouldn't have been possible had it been you never took a higher risk after all the losses by depositing that last $1800 and rollover which enabled you to recover all losses plus profit. So please in case of next, don't forget the reason why you decided to gamble (i.e fun), and as such don't let emotions be your deciding factor, which is very obvious you allowed your emotions to have control over you after many losses with your multiple depositing of high funds, and remember that gambling is just like a double-edged sword, where you likely to win or lose, and as such gamble with the fund you can always afford to lose.

Really totally depends on the control and the discipline towards you as a gambler or lets just say as a person on which you would really be that able to stop completely or wont really be doing such thing if you are really just that simply having that kind of control towards self and its true that having experience does contribute on having that kind of capability when stopping out midway.
Chasing losses is never been that good on gambling on which house do really always win at the end or lets say that you cant think off clearly if you do really make yourself that
become impulsive on which it is really just that resulting that you cant really be able to assess on the situation and making you that cant think off clearly on what are the
things that you would really be needing to do and since we are talking about gambling then chasing losses is never been that ideal at all.

Yeah bro and not just losing everything that you got,  you may slide into gambling addiction if you chase loss too much,  and the same goes also to chasing the winning,  it goes both ways and gamblers need to be aware of that,  at some point, you have to really rely on and walk away regardless of what the result is for the day.

In gambling one needs to accept the fact that,  regardless of what direction the game goes,  it is most important to always take a break in between to be able to get most especially likely a weekly break and take a fresh breath and cool off before coming back to gamble again.

Yes although we basically if we are adrift and have a sense of revenge or ambition to want back what we have lost in the casino it will make ourselves further in to continue playing, and consciously unconsciously it will make us lose control of ourselves sir, everything you have ever built principles in your gambling, and I am quite sure that you have been in the position of being a responsible gambler before, but certain situations you lose that principle that makes you lose more in gambling.

I think this is a normal thing to happen, inconsistency in your own mindset will make you lose so much money, but I am grateful that you feel you can get a lesson on this issue, and I think it will be your hardest blow this year, I hope you can really be more mature in deciding something especially in gambling, you must be really wise sir.

Stop gambling for a while, if you want to survive, and stop having thoughts that you want to get the $1800 that you have lost in gambling today, you should also be less active with the internet and focus more on your health.

The more we are chasing after the looses we had while gambling the more it becomes a mirage to us and we dare not achieve such no matter how desperate we are, it has always been said that we should gamble with the amount of money we can afford to loose, it's a pity that the more you're chasing after the loss the more it keep accumulating, gambling is actually tempting if we are not cautioned, we can continue in such manner before realizing we've gone too far.

You're really lucky mate. You got balls, each time you blow off your bank roll, you just kept increasing your deposit hoping to make a break through. That was crazy and I'm happy that you were able to recover your losses. One of the donts of gambling is never chase your losses and on so many occasions it does not used to turn out well for gamblers based on their state of mind, as they are most at times gripped with fear and doubts. I also like the concluding part of your statement, you really need a time off.

If you're in the wrong mindset or even distracted by things like illness, it is very easy to make mistakes while you're gambling. However you also need to make the distinction that in some games, like those offered by casinos, they are engineered so you are the loser over longer time periods and they use a lot of powerful psychological trickery in order to get you to empty your wallet. Do not be ashamed when you lose, it is a mathematical certainty if you play for long enough, just take it as a cheap - or in your case expensive - lesson. Write off the amount you lost in your mind and do not dwell on it, however to avoid feeling stupid again you should probably cut yourself off from gambling for a long time in such situations.

I like your introspection and honest self reflection. It shows that you are a responsible gambler. You should take it easy on yourself. We tend to get carried away and the result is what you have just told us. You think you need a break from gambling? Then take it. You think you need a gambling partner to put you in check , keep tabs on you with regards to your gambling activity? Get one. Please do whatever is necessary to make sure that there is no repeat.

You were really luck you recovered and aswell made some profit out of the game you further played, but then you mentioned earlier that your intentions were for fun, then how it later turned into you chasing your losses is funny because if it were for fun you wouldn't have to chase losses, I think you gambled at leisure and so it wasn't long the fun was lost.

When next you want to try gambling, that is if you eventually give it a second taught, don't try to chase your losses els you may end up loosing even more, if you want to really enjoy the fun that comes with gambling, stake only what you can afford to loose at a time and not staking so big because you intend to make more money, that way you may have to chase your losses if the game turns out against you and very importantly gamble responsibly. You were lucky to recover next time you may not so don't chase your loses.

It's normal for gamblers to lose as long as the amount is manageable to lose. But in your case OP, if it weren't you're lucky, then you must have lose a huge amount only in just a blink of an eye. Good thing you realize immediately that gambling will never be good enough if you keep on chasing even small losses. But I agree to what Oshosondy has said, you have to take a break from gambling at the moment because what you have experienced is a terrible one. You can manage your loss at the moment but I don't think you can still be able to do it the next time you gamble.

Gamble for fun and not to earn profits or chase your losses. Otherwise, if your mindset is like that, then you are not doing healthy gambling anymore as you get more attached to chasing your losses than to just simply enjoy and have fun when gambling.

The good thing here is that you have already realized your mistake and you learned the lesson. Chasing losses can be really dangerous because it can lead to even bigger losses and can be very difficult to stop. Gambling should always be done in moderation and only for entertainment purposes. You intended to gamble for fun initially but the idea changed immediately you lost the first deposit. I would advise you to take some break as you already decided. If you're feeling bored or lonely, there are lots of other things you can do to entertain yourself.

Your case is another proof that idleness is one key factor that promote reckless and irresponsible gambling nowadays. You wouldn't have ended up gambling if you were to be busy with work as usual. Even as an addicted person, if you are busy all the time, it will help to reduce your addiction and the lesser time you have to gamble is the higher chance you would be free from the addiction.

Yeah, that is the best thing to do,  whenever you feel that you are going too much in a particular direction, then you need to take a break in between because your continued it may have lead you to more losses,  this is not peculiar to only you,  but so many of us here and that is why you need a lot of discipline to be able to stay at a safer place while gambling.

Having a limit in gambling is like setting a stop-loss timer on your trading feature this will help you to stay above the tendency of going over the board looking for what you may not be able to cash up with at some point,  so giving the break becomes the best way to stay at safer zone.

I would've understood if you stopped after placing a 250 bucks deposit but you went for it and actually deposited even more money in the next run, that's a new level of ballsy and stupid if I do say so myself. Chasing losses is the biggest reason why people get addicted to gambling. They always think that somehow sometime as long as they keep playing, they'll get their big break and actually be able to win whatever money they lost which is so far from the truth. Glad that you easily found out about it and stopped when you still have the chance to do so. Imagine if you just lost that 1800 bucks, how devastating that would be to you and your mental lol. Take care and never gamble belligerently my friend.

Well, I think you can afford to lose that in the first place but lesson learned you don't have to chase losses that way. Imagine if you've lost all that a $2k bankroll is really huge to be lost in just a day especially if you are not that of a whale.

This is a good example of an average gambler losing control of their emotions and betting way more than what they can afford to lose, fortunately you avoided the worst outcome by earning a little bit of money out of this experience, but things could have easily go against you and your losses could have been very high, it is because of this that every single gambler needs to be very careful even if they know they have no gambling issues, as all what is needed to accumulate huge losses is for their self-control to fail them once.

That's the last thing you'd wanna repeat again bro ... Shit doesn't end well.. when you try to amend and get Back your stakes atleast, you lose the more.. This definitely means you didn't Carry out any gambling routines cus if you did, you would have had a specific amount from your bankroll to wager with, for the day...
It's appalling and very much concerning how you'd wanna conserve your money, but you need to waste them first.. lol

Things like this, most times, are beyond our personal control. Gravity can be used to classify such behavior. When gambling makes us happy we'll gamble until it starts getting us sad and terrified. Then we begin to chase losses like OP. Assuming he didn't follow up his loses, though risky, he may not have earned profits. This made me think of how uncertain gambling can be. It works differently for everyone. Gambling is risk. Most people may have lost a lot in gambling, due to second thought, they stopped gambling then tried again to be welcomed by big wins. It may no work similarly for others. That's why no specific method can be used to win continuously in gambling. OP is an example of a player with a weird gambling experience. They're times we gambling so much, and begin to wonder, what we've done to our self. And boom, a win that shuts us up, maintains the news, and makes us not to feel like to gamble again. It could be as a result of what a person wants to gain. Or feel about gambling. If they don't stand strong against peer pressure, they'll definitely go back to gambling.  While I support giving gambling a sustainable time for rest, I  don't agree with the win and run technique. As it could be stopping the player from winning on the next game.

Chasing losses is suicide.!

You would really be finding yourself on deep regret on the time that you would really be seeing yourself getting wrecked with gambling.This is why on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling then it would really be just that wise that you should really be that spending on the money on which you can afford to lose and going beyond  that line then it would really be that imposing such danger in towards your finances.
Never ever chase up losses because this would really be that be ending up on having that desperation deep inside on which it would cause for you to play much further.

You should really be having that threshold line when it comes to gambling. You should really know on how you do call it a day or simply having that break or pause
once you have depleted out your entire bankroll. If you do find yourself that proceeding and already spending which is above of your limit then this is a solid indication
that you are already getting addicted to it and if you dont like for things to get messed up then it would really be just that right that you should be stopping right away.

The road to addiction and even borrowing more funds to playing gambling all started this way good to know that you later realize that what you are about doing to yourself is not good. From my past experience, I don't think is over yet because your mind might still be there and that same feeling may return you into playing gambling soon again as against your conclusion that you will not return till a long period of time.

Recovering losses still needs to be recommended because it can trigger you to deposit more money. After all, your money has been used up for the previous round. You have experienced it, but you are lucky to be able to win even though you have experienced loss before. You can imagine that if you still lose all your money in that gambling game, you won't be able to sleep well because the loss will haunt you.

This is a valuable lesson for you. Never try to recover from a loss or chase a win because it will not be easy. You can experience more losses, which can cause you to be unable to accept it and want to deposit another amount of money to recover the losses.

First, get well soon @OP. Now to the topic...

It is really bad to chase losses.  You are lucky @OP that you are able to recover your losses with some profit in hand before quitting.  Many gambler that chases loss are not that lucky and end up losing all their bankroll deposits resulting in a huge amount of losses.   I also experience chasing losses and the result is undesirable so from then on, I stop when my bankroll got depleted and never again redeposit just to chase my losses.

The first thing you did was very risky, and you followed it up with another risky move. First,  you gambled an initial capital to start; that's okay, but you kept on playing because you hooked up and wanted to chase your losses. You said 'for fun only' then why do you end up wanting to chase your losses desperately? Second, you deposit a huge amount and stake a big margin or big bet, which is very risky. What if you also lose the money you've deposited? Will you chase it again? If so, then the cycle will only continue until you have nothing to gamble on anymore. You see, it shows how passive a gambler you are; you decide without thinking about the consequences or what will happen next. Thankfully, you recovered your losses and earned some, but that is something not to be proud of. I thought you would never do that again based on Whatever happens to you, you can repeat it because you can't control yourself.

I don’t think affording to lose that was the case, and we really never can tell if the OP could have afford to lose that as it was never mentioned, what I understand from the OP’s action was the opposite, he never expected to lose his second deposit which was made to use and regain back his first deposit for the day that was lost entire, which makes him want to wager more in other to recover the money that has been lost, I don’t see such wagering choice as something someone who can afford to lose or want to lose such amount kind of thing.

But be that as it may it was really a wrong move by the OP, but the OP also have a good gambling skill adding to luck being on his side which make him win back all that was lost during his gambling for that whole day.

If you believe in the idea of luck or going on runs, then you should also know not to chase losses. When you’re hot you’re hot and when you’re not… I was taught when it comes to investing (and maybe applies to gambling a little bit) to let your winners run long and cut your losers short. Basically, if you’re losing then stop and if you’re winning keep going (although in the end given enough time everyone loses).  

That is the most common sickness among casino gamblers. The more they quit gambling, the more they want to bet because they believe that if they win, they will recoup their losses from prior bets. They didn't realize, however, that the more they lost, the more they lost.

So it's no surprise that many gamblers become addicted to gambling as a result of this behavior, and I don't think it'll go away because it will just spread to different gamblers when greed penetrates their personal lives. characteristic.

One bad thing with when you chase loses and get them once is that you will be encouraged to want to try another time when you gamble and then loose some money. The first time chasing loses and getting them may just be luck, you should not want to always try it or keep trying it. Counting losses has helped people been able to deal with what they loose, without trying to chase it, it should be copied by new gamblers who have never heard of the advice not chase losses.

Finally OP had made it and recovered what he had lost out of gambling. This isn't possible all the time. Most of the gamblers could've experienced it losing big money as they start to wager to kill money. Then onwards OP would never think of wagering when he gets bored. He isn't serious gambler, but if similar spending continues then he need to self analyse and stay on the safer side.

Not everyone able to enjoy gambling, because of the risk. With gambling we should have big money and in such situation the winning probability is very high compared to having limited funds and trying to recover the loss. Same time the risk used to be high while wagering with big money.

First of all, allow me to congratulate you on successfully recovering the losses you previously suffered. not many gamblers are as lucky as you, who are able to recover losses and most importantly, you are able to stop the gambling session after getting it. an experience that is quite meaningful and at the same time gives you pleasure.
Ideally as you said, chasing losses is the most risky option. however, I wouldn't say it's dangerous. because we are aware and know very well, before starting a gambling session, whatever type of game, you, I, we, are fully aware of every risk. However, let's not rule out that in this risk, we also have the possibility of recovering losses and even if we are lucky, the results can be many times the capital we spend. In fact, when we play, whatever it is, including blackjack, we won't always lose every round of betting, right?. but in this discussion, what we are discussing is not that. The point is, you said that chasing losses is dangerous.

So okay, let's just say we agree. and because of that, we will always need self-control, awareness, and responsibility. However, in practice, it is not as simple as we are talking about. because, when we feel angry about the defeat we experienced, the urge to make a re-deposit is very tempting to our minds. As a result, as you do. you chase losses, luckily for you after a while you are able to reverse and recover them and even get a little reward. Luckily, you stopped the gambling sessions after the recovery. because not infrequently, after we are able to recover previous losses, a strong urge to continue the gambling session always tempts us.

Well, the conclusion you said is very interesting. If you are able to do it as you say, I am grateful and happy to hear that. but not infrequently, what we say, the opposite situation could happen. Nevertheless, I hope you are committed to what you convey in this thread. and try, don't be tempted again to chase losses.

sometimes I do what the OP does when I have free time and have nothing to do, I gamble with the aim of having fun, but I have my own limits when I decide to gamble and if I have implemented these limits but don't receive a profit I stop doing it.

If you gamble with the aim of having fun when you lose the initial capital you used for gambling you should take steps to stop and give up the money you have used for fun but in reality you deposit and deposit again with a larger amount and luckily you can recover the loss what you did just now, if you don't, you will probably be frustrated because you will lose an increasingly large amount of money.

Damn, I can't imagine how you feel when you deposit those big money, $1,800 is already huge amount as a bankroll and just to chase your initial $85+$250. But I can feel you, I have been in that kind of situation before. Depositing and then trying to chase the lost, but the twist on my end is that I was able to recover back some of the initial bankroll.

But I still didn't stop, and still chase for big win. Then I lost, then deposited some money again, and it the end I lost everything.

For sure it's a big and expensive lessons for you to learn and I just hope that you will not play as you have said as you already know the consequences of chasing losses.

By depositing more of the money that we have in gambling, it will certainly enable us to enjoy the gambling that we play, but it is not certain that we will be able to get back the money that we deposit in the games that we play. Returning to deposit after experiencing a loss of money that we have deposited, I don't think you can control yourself in gambling, of course this is a very bad thing because we can spend all the money we have just on the games we play.

What is lost in gambling is lost. Forget about recovering it through further gambling sessions. Instead, invest your time finding alternative ways to recover your losses through working or even investing. That is the only solid way to recover yourself from a severe loss, and solidity is what someone in a recovery phase should be looking for. Keep in mind that money you lose in few seconds gambling during a long loss streak will take you months or even years to recover it again. So, be very careful when risking money you can't afford to lose. It can mean a harsh setback in your life.

That loss is huge and I myself cannot afford with it. I don't gamble with my hard earned money because I have learned lessons from my previous gambling activities. I've heard something like your experience and that is enough for me to stop gambling before things get worst.

You are quite lucky to recover your losses and got some profit. This would have been a very bizarre experience for you since you don't gamble and probably you have not lost such amount in gambling.

Well you were able to take the quiting decision after you have recovered and picked $150 from it because you are not cut out for gambling otherwise you would have seen it as the opportunity you have to make some profit as you have already started getting it but who knows if you would have lost more than that $1800 afterwards.

You are lucky to have gotten your money back and your experience would confirm to you that gambling is about how much luck can favour you.

OP, you are not alone, of course there are many experiences like this that are experienced by almost all the gamblers here and I have also experienced the same thing, but the only difference is that you may start with a small bet and lose and chase losses that end in victory, but my experience is betting small amounts getting a winning streak I lost control increasing the number of bets which ended in loss while the winnings I got had reached +$750 unfortunately I lost control losing all the winnings in the roulette game.

this is a screenshot my experience and I almost forgot when I took this SS because maybe it was last year and actually I dont want to remember it anymore but anyway this was a very exciting experience and if we share it like this hopefully it can be used as advice for other gamblers not to act stupid like me when it comes to getting something big from gambling and this is me using local currency with a total bet similar to yours with a loss of around -$75.

Your story has a happy ending.... for most people it is entirely different, because they lose all of their money and a lot more than what they can afford. I have gone into that crazy situation before....where I am chasing my losses and I have never stopped with a profit.  ::)

I have learnt from my previous mistakes and I changed my gambling behavior since, so when I go into a losing streak.... I just quit. I stick to my budget and if it is gone... I stop gambling.  ;)

The honest truth is that gambling for fun isnt always a good idea. Being bored can lead to bad behavior, especially when it involves gambling. Its hard to understand how a simple, seemingly harmless choice can turn into something bigger. Start with just 85 dollars and then go up to 1800 dollars? Thats not a small jump; thats a dangerous dive. Some people go down roads they never thought possible because they are bored or want to feel excited. It is very important to think about these kinds of decisions.

Well, your opinion is right on the mark. Its dangerous to chase loses, especially just because you're bored. Bets on games should never be used to pass the time. A lot of the time, exciting events cost a lot, both financially and emotionally. Spend a lot of time thinking about what you did, and remember that this is all a learning curve. When you do something, it usually has a response that is very far-reaching.

So you decided to "gamble for fun only", but you've started chasing your loses and you had to bet way more money in order to recover them.
How does that have anything to do with "gambling for fun"? I think that gambling for fun means that you could waste a small amount of money while gambling without the urgent need to recover them and to make profit. What you've done is exactly the opposite of gambling "for fun".
I agree that maybe you should stay away from gambling, because you might get easily carried away by the desire to recover your loses.

I've been there and I know how you feel, it takes a brave heart to go this route and learn from his mistakes, many don't learn and they keep trying over until they have nothing left, all you have to do is have a certain amount in mind for gambling, and you don't have to win everyday, have this in mind.

If you believe that you must win today, if you lose few rounds you will want to keep gambling, this is not the right way to gamble, if $100 is all you can afford to lose then use only $100, and if you lose it do not bring out another fresh money to gamble.

I learnt this lesson the hard way, and I get myself after I made some adjustments, either it's a win day or a loss day I will never use more than I have planned to use for gambling that day, many have difficult time standing on this plan but this is the best one that I know.

Well this makes sense.

As you said that you are not a regular gambler, you have no plan for risk management in gambling and you thought you would not need it. That is indeed a rookie mistake. You never go into gambling with this kind of attitude. Always make a plan and hold yourself to it.

For example, I have a daily gambling limit. If I gamble X amount of money then I am done for the day. No more gambling.

If I would not do this then eventually, I would fall into the same trap you did (and I have).

I can remember very well that when I started gambling, I do not have control over my somehow addiction gambling. I noticed that if I lost small amount of money and I continue to gamble, I will lose all. Not that I will continue to lose. I will continue to win and lose randomly but after several games played and gambled, the loss will surpass the profit and before I know, all my money would have been exhausted. Chasing loss is a bad idea and very related to gambling addiction and it can happen to beginners gamblers.

I once betting like this during my newbie days. You should not martingale when lose but rather on profit but use a minimal increase on bet instead of x2 your bet so that you can secure profit every rollover.

You are playing classic freebet blackjack which is so rare to find these days. Most the casino remove this table for unknown reason. I love this type of blackjack before but later become tired playing it due to the 22 bust draw since all the free double and free split is null once dealer bust to 22 which is pointless feature.

Glad that you manage to recover but next time start at lower bankroll so that you will not suffer on tremendous chase loss.

That's a normal feeling for a newbie, They have no control in their spending and all they know is that there's a chances of hitting big prizes when in fact, there's a thing called beginners luck. It can be a fun and exciting activity at first but it also has a potential to become addictive and lead to negative consequences so it is important to educate yourself about the game and risks involved, always be prepare to lose.

Even though you experience defeat in gambling, I think you are a very lucky person to be able to realize this, because there are many people out there who continue to chase losses but are unable to realize the losses they have experienced and the stupid problem is that they continue playing and continue to ignore other people. people around him tried to wake him up.

If you stop gambling, you can feel better and you will feel able to overcome the urge to gamble. why not, you decide to stop gambling. And to make it easier for you to stop gambling, if you have an environment where people gamble every day, leave that environment for a while because this is the factor that often makes someone lose the determination to stop gambling.

In the past, when I wanted to recover my losses, I didn't end up well because I lost more than before. And because I deposited another amount of money to continue gambling, the money I deposited ran out that day. It was added to the money I had previously deposited to increase my losses. That makes me think that I don't need to recover any more losses because in any case, I will have a hard time getting the money I lost and could end up with more losses.

I agree with @OP who will not chase losses or use gambling when bored because it can change the atmosphere and my mood for the worse, especially if I lose. There are still many other activities that I can use to overcome my boredom and also get pleasure. Gambling is entertaining but can also cause you to lose a lot of money if you are not careful with the money.

Ouch, this is really terrible result for you mate, as you have said, you are not even a regular gambler, maybe just wanted to have some fun and just past the time and just decided to deposit your signature campaign earnings. And that's good though, I mean of course you work hard for it for a week. But you want to be entertained and since you have noting to do, then why not gamble?

But I guess even if you are a novice or experience gambler, it just shows that it's very difficult to control ourselves specially if we are losing. As the initial deposit of $85 have been lost, your mind tells you that you wanted to get it back and so the cycle begins. You deposit $250, lost and then $1800 which is already big even for a casual gambler like the majority of us here.

That is truly terrible, and regrettable indeed. Have you encountered similar situations before, apart from this one?
You've been repulsive, it's one of the many things to avoid in gambling. Your strategy, particularly with those pauses between bets due to the need of depositing, is a very risky martingale approach.

Taking a break to reflect on what happened is a wise move. Best of luck.

The OP is just going beyond the limits of his ability to get rid of boredom. He should know that using smaller amounts of money is better for getting rid of feelings of boredom, unless he really wants to make money, after all if he initially uses smaller bets it won't drain more of his money but luckily OP has managed to recover his losses and that's good enough.

But if he loses and chases his losses and fails, it will obviously be very detrimental to him. Limiting his gambling budget is important because when he loses he can stop playing and start to feel that it is not good to continue. It should not be continued. Playing with smaller money for fun is no problem. , for example OP is looking for another activity for example playing golf or playing a fun game that costs $100 or more maybe OP will not pursue it because he feels it is entertainment so why ask for money back, just like OP lost at the start but pursuing it is a decision which is wrong and reckless even though in the end he can win it, OP should reduce the budget limit to a smaller one if he really wants to enjoy gambling when he loses there is no need to chase it

True, I think there is very little chance for gamblers who have been overcome by emotions because of the many defeats to realize the mistakes they have made in. It's not uncommon anymore and maybe now we find quite a lot of gamblers who are very ambitious in gambling, like you said they continue to gamble with the intention of getting a win or even those who have won still can't stop because they expect a much higher win there and this is the real addiction cycle in my opinion where whatever you get you will never be satisfied and always want more than what has been obtained. Basically it is quite difficult to be able to realize that you or they have gone too far in gambling, none other than that because their mindset is very difficult to control and all there is is just wanting to continue gambling despite the fact that the final result will lose more often than win, and it is also useless that basically people who are already addicted will be very difficult to tell or remind through some advice from others.


Anyone who can finally stop doing this activity or just reduce it in my opinion is good enough and this is the best thing to do. I am sure that anyone will never be comfortable with all the pressure resulting from losing in gambling, of course if indeed your environment is active in gambling then there is no other way to get out of the addiction zone unless you are able to avoid the bad environment, whatever we can do to stop gambling as long as our intentions are strong and firm.

Maybe what you did at that time was that you were not able to control yourself well so you could lose the money you deposited and in my opinion at that time you had not found the luck to win, and what you did was chase losses by gambling again even though you should have What to do is stop gambling immediately so as not to cause even greater losses.

@OP's opinion is absolutely correct, with the bad conditions and situations we are experiencing, it's a good idea for us to just stop gambling, because that way we can prevent the risks of gambling and it's better to look for useful activities to restore our minds and if we want to go back to gambling we already have thoughts. be good and careful when gambling to minimize the loss of the money we have.

You're lucky to have regained your losses and even made a profit, I was not lucky when I tried to chase my losses I lost 80% of the staking token I'd used for additional earnings, it really hurts and that made me stop gambling for a while.

Chasing your losses is a high risk you could lose a lot of money, you have to control your ego and moderate your greed you must create a line where you need to stop, our ego is our greatest enemy and we are blinded by reasoning all we know is we have a chance to regain our losses so we keep going on.

If you experience losing a lot of money from chasing your losses, you will experience guilt feeling that will lead to depression and that's exactly what happened to me.

you were lucky to not lose everything again and get a small profit, but I don't think you are exempt ;) in the future of similar issues.
How to avoid?
create a cold wallet where you are sure you do not have easy access (example 2of3 + password).
only keep available the money you can "throw in the garbage"... the rest are not funds for gambling ::)

With the conditions experienced by you and maybe also by some people can confirm exactly that gambling really refers to luck alone, maybe this can be an example for some people out there who are still suffering from the cycle of addiction. I would also say very lucky for those who can eventually recover the initial loss by continuing to gamble, what impresses me is their awareness when in such a position and they prefer to stop right away because they are not strong with the conditions in gambling, so it's better than you continue to gamble with the intention of recovering previous losses, because the final result is clearly completely unpredictable so in my opinion stopping is better as a preventive measure than later the amount of loss is getting bigger.

Self-control is the only thing that is very important when we are in gambling because I think that's the only thing that can help us not to suffer too far losses, like you said above, but the fact is that if they are already addicted to a high level then I think there is little chance for them to apply these controls and limits, their ego is very high and all they want is unlimited victory but on the other hand gambling is created so that you keep losing haha. So think about it well

I bet op may not know what martingale is at the time he was struggling with those bets, he was not considering any strategy rather he was all focus to get back lost fund and nothing of martingale came to his mind. He was purely losing his money and regretting his initial action to play but martingale is intentionally used whether losing or gaining. It is all lucky for him that he got back his losses otherwise he would have totally had a negative experience he won't be able to forget easily.

I can attest to this. I have hear similar stories of this. But its not advisable to bet when you have emotional issues. Am happy for you because you recovered the amount you loss it would have been another story if you hadn't  recovered the money. Perhaps next time you could watch movies or play music when you want to have fun. Another thing is that you were too fast to place a bet without looking at the odds of winning even you increased your amount of stake regardless of the amount you are loosing. You have such a strong mind and it worked for you. Not everyone it would have worked for. Maybe next time you just learn to be careful and understand that betting is not for everyone especially with much emotions attached.

At some point gambling gets boring. At that time I don't like gambling or anything else. But as far as I know if one continues to gamble even after feeling bored with gambling the chances of loss are high. Even if your bankroll is $5000 at that point you will lose it with in short of time. Those who feel worried should take a break from gambling immediately. I myself have gambled a lot in such situations and lost. After losing I realized my mistakes. There have also been many regrets as to why I didn't take a break from gambling back at that time. Again I depleted all my bankroll recovering small amounts in some cases. Another reason for gambling losses is chasing. A gambler should not try to recover lost money.

       -  You are, without a doubt, not the only one who has encountered such things as a gambler in crypto gambling, even though I have also been in a scenario where I know I have lost but continue to play. That's why I didn't realize I was going closer to danger while trying to recoup my gaming losses.

And the risk is that my money will run out, so instead of not having to gamble, I will move more and more with the urge to recoup my losses.

Then if you get bored that is an indicator that you need to quit since deciding to continue your bets even if you don't like to play anymore is somehow can contribute for your losses. But I notice that majority of gamblers quit because they are not entertained anymore and try their luck on next day if they want to play again. Maybe some of gamblers will stay because they hope to gain big but once they are out of focus and didn't watch their placed bet for sure they regret on why they continue to gamble then think about much better for them to quit when they feel it already.

Somehow we experience that scenarios that's why we can relate on this discussions since its really hard to catch up once we already at huge lost and not able to handle some situations that we are not in control.

I used to be like this, whenever I lost I always doubled my bet to make up for the loss. In the beginning, yes, I was able to get it back, sometimes it even tripled, but while I was doing it, I didn't notice it, you know my loss was getting worse, the loss was getting bigger than the return, so I stopped doing that. In the beginning, it's really fun like that, so I feel that those who do this are also the ones who are new to gambling. So while it's still early and you notice that it's getting worse and worse, you should stop before you get used to it forever.

That is what exactly chasing the losses. The thing is sometimes we really don't know that we are chasing some losses. I myself had experienced the similar thing before when I'm still very active on gambling. I know before that I'm doing gambling with a caution but instead of cutting the losses, I continue and continue to play to atleast get to the point that I can hit the break even point where as you know, bring me more deposit and lost more to the casino.

I used martingale when I first played roulette with bets on red or black, this was about 15 years ago. Then it seemed to me that I was a genius  :D

I have heard that many players say that it is better for the first time when you engage in gambling, it is better to lose your first bets, get a negative experience and not return to gambling again. The fact is that if you win at the first bets, then a positive experience is formed in the brain and it seems that it will always be like this, at that moment you become hooked on gambling. After this first win, the player begins to lose and it seems to him that he lacks just a little to win and he loses a lot, if not all. And then I watch interviews on youtube with devastated gamblers who talk about it.

The reason why someone is chasing losses is they see gambling as a way to make money which is the main problem, gambling is only for fun.

Nope, when you lose you will become more curious to try again until you win, it's not make you to leave gambling since you're want to chase your losses. Lose or win, you're keep gambling, unless you're completely stop it.

Chasing losses is a thing that every gambler should avoid, in fact, he should avoid it at all costs, it is high risk and emotionally draining and you can lose everything you've had It is a sign that you are an irresponsible gambler if you keep thinking of a way to regain what you've loss in gambling.

It's very rare for a gambler to regain all his losses, so don't believe when you read that a guy won a huge amount of money because you don't know how much he lost and how many years he's been losing, so keep things simple, play have fun and move on with your loses its how you play in casinos whether online or offline.

That's what happens usually when we're to focused with our losses. The main thing that we want do is to get them back and no matter what happens, that's the goal. Because it hurts our ego when we're losing and we think that it's the end already and we'll never be able to take them back by tomorrow. And that's why instead of temporary quitting, we're continuing even with the budget that's not allotted for gambling. Because we're justifying that we can recover it later on until the unexpected happens and we're losing more money instead of taking them back. As for the experience of us, we've got no differences on that and everyone tries to get as much money as we can.

Exactly, you'll never like the end result of it when you're not aware of what can potentially come out if you don't stop. It's important to listen to the advises of those that have experienced that because you may not see coming it on you but it will.

The more you chase your losses, the bigger chances you will lose a lot. That is the reason why gambling should only be a source of fun and entertainment, not the other way around. It all comes down to the reality that to gamble is to lose, and not to make big money and become instantly rich. But I don’t think gamblers are not aware of this. Probably they’re totally aware but still push the mindset that once they get lucky, they will double or triple their capital which I think it only happens very rare.

However, responsible gamblers put limits on chasing their losses. Once they noticed that it’s hard for them to recover the lost money anymore, then they eventually decide to leave the house and head home.

I agree with you that gambling should be considered as entertainment and there will be no problems. This is exactly how I feel about it and get pleasure from betting. But many people lose this line and lose their temper because it is very thin.

What you say is also true, but I hear these words from gamblers much less often. In any case, all players are different with different psyches, and what will be a trigger for some will not be a trigger for others. So we're both right.

I know the feeling it is actually a roller coaster ride, you are caught between stopping and cutting your losses and hoping the next set of rolls will be in your favor, you are lucky you still manage to bag $150 during that ride and for you to pause and reflect on what happens is a sign that you are a responsible gambler.

There's something in chasing a loss that makes us feel alive there's an adrenaline rush you want to keep up but your bankroll is not enough so you keep filling in more money.

There's a feeling in chasing your losses that is addictive if you keep doing that you will end up chasing your losses part of your game, so you will extend your hours, keeping a big bankroll and wager more, and it's hard to get out of this vicious cycle.

Actually, I didn’t less in the end but rather bag a small profit after consistent huge win in the end when I deposited 1800. But I agree that my deposit amount is completely wrong because I increased my risk on losing much larger amount just to chase small amount. Glad that the end result turn fine on my side.


This exactly what happened to me. I’m not aware that my losses is already huge even though I start betting in small amount and small bankroll. The main factor that push me to chase loss is by watching the total losses while I still have enough bankroll to continue playing until I recover the amount.

I think this experience is related to the same experience i had in 2022 world cup when i withdrew money from my business, added to all of my personally money and bet $3000 on just one game for the first time in my life, i Knew i can't afford to lose this money but i still went ahead to risk it because i was just too sure and convinced that i would win the bet. Unfortunately, in the end, the game was lost and i woke up in the hospital the next day. It was a gruesome experience, and after i was discharged from the hospital, i spent over 8 months before i started gambling again. I can actually say that i am yet to recover from that experience since i still have instant weakness any time i remember this.

Yours have to do with chasing losses, which is something we always advise against, glad you've learnt your lesson and likely will never repeat such again.

I think this has been mentioned in different threads that chasing your losses is not really a good idea.
Based on my experiences, the more we are desperate to get back our loss, the more it's risky for us because most of the time, it only results to a negative outcome. And I think this is because of different factors. For instance, when you are chasing your loss, there is a huge tendency that your emotions will take over, and this is something that us gamblers, wanted to avoid. Because the only thing that's on your mind is to get back your losses, and you tend to forget other things like the budget you only set for your gambling activity. This can only result to reckless gambling, and this is where everything started to get bad. One thing that I always keep in my mind to avoid such things is to allow myself to take a break and make yourself belief that there is always another day for you to get back your losses. At least in this way, we will always be reminded to avoid chasing losses.

Oh boy! you must be really lucky to have won chasing losses because usually people don't win from chasing losses.
Just when you said you deposited $1800 I thought you would lose it all and are here to weep about your losses.
But it's good that you cashed out while you were in profits and you learn your lesson from it too.

Super lucky as in. I was about to lose a hard earned bonus money from my salary that patiently work for a year. This kind of mistake is due to my cockiness on gambling while I have a lot of bankroll available.

At some point of my game. My 1800 deposit almost depleted to 500$ until I miraculously have a winning streak with multiple blackjack and freebet that gives me a huge. Boost on profit to recover all my losses and bag few profit which I’m very happy until now. Because of this experience, I decided to stop gambling for a while until I fully move on.  :D

People who chase losses are those who have not understood that losses are part of gambling. To them, they must win all the time that is why they refuse to accept losses. This mindset is actually the beginning of frustration in gambling because there is hardly ever anytime you make huge profits from chasing losses. You can succeed one or two times but the number of times you will loose from chasing losses is far higher.

To protect your capital, when losses persist in any gambling day, the best is to take a break, do other things that can make you happy and come again next time. This is the only way to ensure that your mental health is well managed to avoid depression. There is no need beating oneself up over losses because they will surely come as they are part of the gambling process and without them, the bookies will be broke.

Instead of looking for quick wins over a single bet, consider series of bets to be able to measure your winning probabilities.

I think you are quite lucky for someone who continues to gamble with higher bets to regain the money you lost while gambling because usually at the end of this process many people lose all their money. In particular, your primary goal should be to use a low budget for gambling fun and only have fun until that budget is completely exhausted. If the purpose of gambling is to have some fun and making money is completely secondary, it is necessary not to gamble anymore in order to gain the loss caused by running out of budget. Even though this situation made you feel bad psychologically, it was a very nice experience for you and it caused you to have an experience that didn't hurt you too much at the end of the whole process. Definitely, in case of losing money in gambling it is necessary not to continue gambling with higher amount of deposits and higher amount of bets. Many gamblers lose all their money this way and become addicted to gambling. In gambling, it is often not possible to quickly achieve previous winnings by placing a higher bet.

If he lost it all, it would be more difficult for him to make it out of this thought. Looking at his reactions despite earning profits, you'd understand how bad it affected him psychologically. He was amazed to find himself wearing such a behavior. It has never been this way, in his memory. It'll help him not to behave that way anymore, in future. It'll be hard to tell how it happened to him, but if the experience took away few of his normal behavior. The therapy would be, giving such thought a break. As thinking so much about a vague past experience can help cause more mistakes. In the person's gambling activity. He'll may be too conscious of not repeating what happened, when he had enough time and funds. Thereby, reducing the comfortability they get through gambling. So if the behavior negatively affects his winning, it could be that the player is not staking with a clear mind. Also affecting their personal relationship to people. Hence, it's important for gamblers to always stay cheek by jowls with non gamblers. So that they'll be able to reach a wider audience. That they teach about the effects of gambling; good and bad. Guide on their journey to bitcoin. And most importantly garner profits through them. In return non gamblers can be the primary detector of an uncertain behavior in the gambler's life. It's crucial to know how people have felt about the changes in us, which we are not aware. Nobody is an exception in such an occurrence. We must follow our minds and things we've thought as possible or works. To know the new behaviors in us, and be able to link it to its cause, can be a good definition of a gambler.
.

The most common mistake done by the gambler was he will increase the betting amount on each bet to cover the loss in the shorter period.But the fact is he will loss all the holding money if he keep increase the bet in the game.The betting money should be same for the gambler,the gambler should rebuild the new strategy one after another for the game.So he can recover the loss in the game.Changing the bet amount to high value will risk your full money.If the situation was bad,you should take some gap for the game.So your mind will ready to face any difficulty in the upcoming game and the possibility of winning will be high.

Quite ironic OP is opening a thread about how no one is supposed to chase losses because how risky it is and yet he does it by providing and example of how he managed to chase his losses and pull off a net win.
If anything, this thread and this story will likely only encourage people who lost money to further deposit and chase their losses as OP did, in hopes of getting a similar result.

To anyone who believes this is a story of success, be aware OP could have easily lost all his bankroll to the casino and become one of the sad stories of people chasing losses and never getting them back again. Do not take his story as an example, but others cases were people lamented to have deposited more than they could afford to lose.

Be wise and gamble responsibly, do not follow OPs steps.

That adrenaline will push the gambler to keep trying to increase his bet to quickly recover what he already loss, It's hard to control when you are trying your best but the losing streak continue heating you, and I like your opinion that instead of pushing forward and keep increasing better to pause for a while and try to change your strategy, or also, try to stop and get some air to prevent that aggression.

It's all on you and how luck will back you up, but in OP's case, that's something that really touch to handle, almost losing your hard earned money but manage to get that luck and bring something decent after the sessions.

One can see gambling as a way to earn money and yet they won't chase losses because they knew that if they choose to chase their losses they might end up losing more.  Though I agree this might be one of the reasons, the trigger would be that they failed to accept and admit that they had lost and wanted to recover such losses because they have to since the fund they used is not free and is allocated to pay for something.

Nope, when you lose you will become more curious to try again until you win, it's not make you to leave gambling since you're want to chase your losses. Lose or win, you're keep gambling, unless you're completely stop it.[/quote]

Some got discouraged by the loss and left gambling.  I believe the effect of losing on their first try have a different result.  Others will stop for a while then play again to try if they can win while others stop and never revisit the gambling platform again since they can't bear the losses.

Were you lucky or really skilled?
Most bettors end up "losing their minds" and are unable to reason correctly when they get into a streak of bad luck with sequential losses, as a result they end up losing a lot of money until they finally realize that it is no longer possible to reverse the losses.

The good thing about this event is that in addition to having made a profit, you learned a lot so that you don't make that mistake again.

Congratulations on the achievement and thank you for sharing this story here, I hope it helps other people too.

I always tell myself when I lose half of my balance that I cannot get it back anymore. Being forgetful can be the key factor in avoiding this kind of problem. If we know how much we want to get back then it won't happen. Win some and then change the game. That's what I think will work better than staying in one game and chasing all of it in one sweep.
But quitting is a better option, especially for casino players. Right now, I am spending more time in sports betting where I think I have a better chance to double my bet than relying on casino games these are sometimes (most of the time) stressful because of the house edge that is difficult to defeat.
I've played a lot using small bets with hundreds of thousands of amount of bets and all I see is downward so I think I will just go back on sticking with sports betting from now on.

- You're among the fortunate ones who can bounce back from a losing streak. I've been through similar experiences a couple of times. The first time I lost everything, I swore I'd never gamble like that again. But, surprisingly, a few weeks later, I found myself losing in the same way.
- I can't help but wonder, what would you do if luck wasn't on your side and you lost all $1800?

       -  It costs me $1800 here in our country. I can't lose that much gambling here in just one day. Maybe when you used it, you didn't think about losing your gambling. But the more you think, the more you can grow it by winning more gambling.

Although sometimes I also had the experience of chasing my loser, I also stopped when I felt that my loser was getting further away and growing a lot. That's why I stopped instead of making my bankroll zero. So I think I made the right decision, even though I really lost.

Even though it is boredom, @OP should know that there is no guarantee that he can win from gambling but he can experience a lot of losses. When he succeeded in winning, he should have immediately decided to stop so that his losses would not increase. That would be better than later depositing more money where there is no guarantee that he can win. Playing gambling with a small amount of money is enough for him to get rid of boredom because it depends on how we can overcome boredom.

Only by limiting his gambling budget can he avoid losing a lot and it would be even better if he could stop gambling. Chasing a win or recovering from a loss is not recommended because it will result in greater loss, even though there is a possibility that he can win. But as far as we know, we cannot always win when playing gambling, so we have to control our gambling. And don't let us lose control of ourselves when gambling because that can cause various problems.

Yes, that was a mistake I made and I didn't pay attention that anything could happen in a gambling game and didn't control myself well so I lost. I then realized that whatever I experienced in gambling should be a valuable lesson so that I don't repeat it in the future. I also learned to control myself better, which is not easy because it requires time and more frequent practice.

I agree that stopping gambling as soon as possible after experiencing a loss is the best way to avoid big losses. And by stopping gambling, we can prevent bigger risks so that we don't have to lose a lot of money in gambling.

The mind is a complex part, and it can experience significant transformations when it is exposed to the highs of gambling. Shifts that have the potential to impact one's basic nature, interpersonal interactions, and self-perception. There are turns and turns throughout this trip. Therapy, taking a break, introspection... These are necessary. What's more important, though? Surrounding oneself with non-gamblers. They could provide an objective, new viewpoint. In a chaotic world, they can serve as the voice of reason. They can assist the person in recognizing the modifications, adjustments, and departures...

Ultimately, though, the key is self-awareness. identifying the alterations, comprehending the causes, and making efforts to achieve equilibrium. It's about constantly, always, always remaining loyal to oneself

You don't have to be a addict gambler for you to start chasing losses, even a beginner can find it hard to let go of the amount they lose to gambling on their first day, they will start trying hard to at least get their money back and yet they will fail, once you use money you aren't ready to lose you will likely start chasing your looses which will eventually leads to more loss.

The rules are simple but many think they are smart or genius when it comes to gambling, do not use money you can't afford to lose, how hard can this warning be that people ignore it? Wanting to make a lot of money from gambling is what encourages you to use a big amount of money and that's why most people will use money they can't afford to lose.

If you have ten dollars to use for gambling and you lose half of the money, you still have more five dollars to risk, but once you lost everything it's wise to stop gambling and wait for another day when you have spare ten dollars to risk again, do not use what you can't afford to lose, that is the solution to chasing losses in gambling.

Only few gamblers succeed in chasing their losses, the motivation to recover our losses backfires because we are trying to win back the money that we've previously lost, when you're chasing your losses you are pressured to win and because you think you fumble on your votes and commit error after error, I've experienced this and the feeling is so bad that I can't eat in a few days because the what if, keeps running in my mind.
Chasing losses is a big nightmare for gamblers because you cannot think clearly and you feel you are in hostile territory, It is better to keep in mind that whatever happens, you will not chase your losses.

In addition to a little, I also think it is almost impossible to get success, besides that these actions will also only make your situation worse, instead of returning the previous defeat but what happens is that the number of defeats increases, and that is the cycle that always happens and is suffered by gambling addicts.

An addict will usually treat frustration over his defeat with some motivation that they create themselves, that is one of their wrong actions, already knowing their mindset is wrong but instead believing in assumptions that come out of their own minds instead of seeking some help from others through some advice. They will always justify their own wrong actions, with all positive mindsets such as "I'm sure in the next experiment I will be able to get a real victory", but in the end they still lose lol, it doesn't just happen once but it has become a cycle that they will continue to live indefinitely.

You have felt it yourself, because it is true that the pressure due to such conditions in gambling is very bad, so you even don't eat for several days, and not only that, but other unexpected things are also very likely to feel like depression or even act out of control. So the point is that there is no point in you chasing losses because gambling is just a matter of luck and why the final result is always not what is expected? because there is absolutely no guarantee that you will win.

We can't say few but rather there are several gamblers been lucky that there result became different compare to other people who choose to chase their losses since they encounter more heavier losses and worse all their money is gone because they made a crazy decision for pushing their selves to their limits. But if some other successful for recovering back their money it doesn't mean that this scenario will always happen to them since they should consider the luck factor and that scenario might not come to them anymore if they choose to risk their money on super risky situation.

We know all people doesn't want to lose everything they have so maybe best for us to have second thoughts on each decision we going on so that we will not regret all the decision done when everything became a big mess to us.

As the saying goes, people will not be satisfied or aware if they have never experienced or felt something bad happen to them, so for you, what I mean by the risk of gambling that befalls you, you will then realize that what you have been experiencing is a fatal mistake because You haven't been able to control yourself well so you regret having done that and now you are trying to start changing by learning to control yourself well.

Of course, if someone has experienced defeat then what he has to do is stop, even though this is very difficult to do, but if he has a strong belief then this will not be as difficult as he imagines, because according to him if he gambles continuously then he will lose a lot of money, not increase it Money.

The only way a gambler to success in chasing losses is he need to hack the site and steal as much as he can lol.

I imagine if someone is successfully recover all of his previous losses, I don't think he will completely quit gambling, but I believe he will try to gamble in order to earn more. A gambling addict will not change if he's not realize and have a commitment to gamble only for fun.

Yes, there are others who recover their losses and I think these are the only ones who are not too greedy, because once they recover their winnings, they will not bet again.
I experienced this before when I got back my loss but of course I felt like I would win a lot more so I just continued gambling until I ran out of money without realizing it. When you're really hooked and you receive a lot of money from your gambling, it's really hard to control yourself. I didn't repeat it because I was taken by what happened and I learned something from my stupidity at that time.

What are you looking for in gambling friends? Duplicating money? Chasing defeat? or what? I think you need to change your mindset a little in gambling, if you expect to win intentionally then you will experience frustration in gambling that you do because you don't have the luck to win, and it could be the impact of that you will continue to gamble and try to pursue losses.

Gambling problems make a place to have fun, although in the end you lose you get time to have fun time in gambling, even if you are lucky in the gambling you do, I think it is the fortune you need to be grateful for.

Judging from his attitude he might chase the loss and stop until he gave up.

People can decide to engage in divers activities when they are bored. Some of them read, take a walk, go for a drink, or even play computer games. Gambling because of boredom is not in my list because it involves money. I will not risk money because I am lonely. It will be better to follow your gambling budget or seek other means of overcoming boredom.


Chasing losses will lead to a lack of concentration which will cumulative to more losses. I have tried to recover my losses on a few occasions and I find myself tensed up and uncoordinated. As you keep losing, it will lead to anger issues and even confrontation with people around you. OP was fortunate to recover his losses after a hot chase but this is not always the case.

Many people say "I will stop gambling because I lose a lot" but after a few days, they'll be back to gambling again.

Nothing wrong with gambling as long as we are still in our minds but what went wrong is when we started to think of getting back our losses. This is the time that our emotions have been controlling us as in our mind to gamble more in order to win and secure our capital but too unfortunate that luck doesn't come when asked.

The only thing that we need to correct is our behavior and understanding of gambling.

Good thing that realization hit you that hard for you to decide not to repeat that same mistake, I think there are many who can say that they also experienced that same mistake, instead of stopping after getting that opportunity to recover all their losses, they will think that they will going to win more, as luck already showing up and giving them that green sign to continue pushing for more.

End of the day, regret and that long time memory of losing your money instead of having that chance to pause and quit.

Chasing your losses is one of the worst mistakes that one can make while gambling and it's one of the best moments for a casino that is being used by the gambler because they tend to get a lot of money in such situations because it's obvious that the gambler is going to lose everything eventually if they don't stop at the right time, and the right time is when they've lost their initial bankroll that they were always ready to lose and wouldn't think much about.

Some people actually manage to recover their losses in the first couple of attempts, but they don't stop there, they gamble more and once they lose again, they think they can recover it again but once they go for it, they are struck with extreme disappointment in the shape of losing their entire balance and then depositing more and losing that as well.

You will surely loss if you are counting your losses while gambling since your decision making will be affected by your desire to bet higher just to quickly recover. This is why you should think only about playing your current game and stop counting your loss so that  the game you are playing is in total control of your clear mind.

Just set a target profit and allocate a bankroll you should only use for that game so that you will never consider chasing loss or being greedy to win more once you hit those target.

Some people may ask why they lose even more when they are counting their losses or looking to recover their losses. Well, the answer is that once you are thinking about the loss, you are all surrounded by negative energy and you only are depressed and full of negative thoughts. That is the reason that you may lose even further.

Believe me or not, if you want to win, you need to have positive energy, hope and willingness to win. Only then you may succeed and may win in gambling.

Chasing losses is where a lot of gamblers make mistakes. In my own view, I think that what causes almost all gamblers to chase their losses is that they gamble with amounts they can't afford to lose, because if that is not the case, why will someone try to recover their losses in gambling, which is all about luck? One thing about gambling is that even if you try to recover your losses and are lucky enough to recover the amount, you may still continue to make profits. Someone has to be smart and set rules when it comes to gambling; if not, someone will end up with nothing because the spirit of gambling is so strong that if someone is not smart enough, they will spend their entire life on gambling. Even those who are now gambling addicted started gradually by thinking they would one day recover their losses in gambling.

A strong intention is really needed to get out of the world of gambling because with a strong intention, consistency will emerge and hold firmly to a promise not to gamble again. And you need to remember that "the sea is salty, but not the fish." So as long as this intention lives in the heart and behavior, I am sure that everyone is able to get out of all gambling problems even though they are in a fairly harsh environment.


Gambling is indeed quite tempting because it seems like gambling can double your money, but that's just the opinion of some people who don't want to think clearly and think further about gambling. Everyone can gamble but not everyone can control it, so this is where a good understanding of gambling is needed so that we can be more careful when playing it. Gambling is just a game, but this game is quite risky.

I have experienced the same as you, but I have not lost as much as you. I know what I did was wrong, chasing defeat hoping for victory without realizing that in the end I only received defeat.

Actually, I'm not an addict and I'm not one who doesn't know the risks. It's just that sometimes we need entertainment when we're bored and just lying in the room. Initially, gambling was just to fill our free time without realizing that we were carried away by emotions, actually we were aware but it was curiosity that made us continue to chase losses. It was a valuable experience for me, if you are already losing, you should stop first.

Somewhat i do agree into this point on which there are really indeed times that you are really that longing for more even if you do know the risks of losing but still you are really that doing it because you've been thrilled on doing so. Its weird but it is really that indeed happening  for most gamblers on which the urge is there to chase up those losses even if you are really that aware on what are the things that should really be needed to be done.Honestly its never been ideal on chasing up losses because if you wont really be that wisely on stopping midway or on the situation you are in then
most likely you would really be ending up on losing more. If you cant really be able to stop then expect on what would happen but if you are aware but  you have decided to play more then its your
choice. Just make it sure that you wont really be that making yourself that go beyond your limits on which this do matter the most.

Their something I want us to understand in gambling and investment, for gambling if you are a gambling addicted I don't think that you will stop chasing losses in a gambling, an addicted gambler doesn't feel that it has lose in the gambling but I believe that in gambling instead of addicted gamblers to dress back in a gambling they will continue to chased their loss believing that one time wining of the gambling will make them to recover all they have lost so far, so I believe that is the mentality of gamblers who is desperate in gambling and also addicted in gambling, but someone that have strategies in gambling knows it's time and when to gamble and when to gamble and it's loss will not trigger him to gamble to make the one he losses

Thank you for sharing this your experience with us. I believe we would all learn a thing or two from it.

I believe that 90% of gamblers have an embarrassing tale of them chasing losses at one time or the other and it did not end well but we cannot tell the story publicly because we don't want to look stupid.

I tell you that if you stick to your place you will definitely bounce back a better and more disciplined gambler.

Unfortunately, it isn't possible to think logically after a person loses in gambling because of the negative psychological effects the experiences. Although I can control myself in gambling, unfortunately, when I make leveraged trading sometimes I cannot control myself and increase my loss amount by taking more wrong decisions. Whatever the action is, the person must be able to control themself in such a psychological state, even if it is very difficult and not continue on their way by making additional mistakes. For this, as you mentioned taking a short break would be the ideal solution for this.

Although, as I mentioned I succumb to this psychology not in gambling but in leveraged trading, I usually only increase my loss amount and manage to stop myself before the situation gets worse. For this reason, I think it is very important to control bad psychology, emotions and with a little willpower everyone can prevent such bad scenarios by controlling themselves.


Certainly, when the bet amount increases after each loss it causes the person to lose more money faster. In such situations, a person needs to be able to control his/her own will and avoid making wrong decisions by controlling his/her emotions. This is, of course a very difficult process but preventing this situation with a strong will and preventing all potential losses can only be achieved with the right emotional and psychological control. For this reason, if a person has lost money in gambling he/she must learn to control his/her own will and overcome his/her emotions to avoid making wrong decisions.

Chasing defeat will only make us experience bigger losses, that's why if we decide to gamble, it would be better if the initial goal is not to win but to get rid of boredom, look for fun in gambling games that we like and have limits within carry out these activities. so that the mood when we lose will be fine because we are definitely ready to lose that money.
Therefore, it is better to gamble with small amounts of money so that we don't think too much about losing when gambling.

OP said that if he wants to gamble with the aim of having fun, if he aims to have fun, he won't experience any problem if he loses his first money with a limit that he thinks is the minimum, but he keep thinking about his losses and makes deposits many times just to recover his losses, so I think his goal is Not looking for fun but testing adrenaline, he was lucky to be able to recover the money he used because it is rare for successful gamblers to chase their losses because most of them always experience bigger and bigger losses.

And all the incidents that happened to him can be a valuable lesson so he can learn from everything. If he has experienced a lot of losses since he played for the first time, he has to think about whether he should continue gambling or whether he should leave gambling. But if he still wants to gamble, that's okay, but he has to be careful not to spend a lot of money and as much as possible, he has to reduce the amount of money.

People who gamble must have experienced defeat because that is what they will experience if they gamble. They should know that getting a win is very difficult and if they still decide to recover their losses, they will only regret it, especially if they use more money. The important thing is that he can control himself and his money so he doesn't lose much. Thus, he only needs to enjoy gambling as entertainment.

But really gambling itself is not meant to free our free time, only for us to try to double what money we have or we want to stake on it. Op doesn't really want to fill his free time because if he does then he would engage himself in playing some games in his phone or watch movies. He didn't want to fill his free time that was why he didn't want to leave his lost money but chased it by all means possible and he was lucky to have got it.

So I believe if I want to fill my free time, gambling is not my best bet but to look at other areas of distraction and entertainment  ;D

I don't really understand your gaming history, you first played BlackJack pretty normally. Your betting size was between 5 - 15 USD, which is good sizing and you should be able to withstand a losing streak. And then 1 hour later you deposited new money to bet 10x your initial bet sizes. That feels wrong and I don't understand why you would jump so quickly in your bets, because you weren't even losing before. I can understand that after a few losses in a row you might want to place 1-2 big bets to try and recover your previous losses. However, you fully went to play with your new bet sizes and never went back to your more comfortable levells. It's good that you didn't lose all your money and even made a profit for the night. Depending on your overall bankroll 1.800 USD might be a lot of money and I would recommend you go back to play smaller sizes again. Especially if you gamble for a long time, then it can be really dangerous to use all your money in one session. It's good that you realise your mistakes and will learn from them, it's not that easy to control our emotions and our finances when gambling a whole evening.

Of course, what he has to do is think about whether he will continue gambling or just stop because he is losing more than winning. Agree with this, if he wants to continue gambling what he has to do is be able to control the money he bets and always be careful when gambling, remain wise and responsible so as not to overdo it when gambling.

The self-control that a person has is very influential in gambling, so that he is aware that the results of gambling cannot be predicted, wins will only be obtained by a few people while most gamblers will experience losses and this is true if they have talent and experience. Being lucky doesn't necessarily mean you're lucky, and what you said is true, it's good for us to gamble as an activity to entertain ourselves when we're bored.

You are really very lucky where at first you lose a lot but in the end you recover your losses and get 150 USD in addition. If it were me, maybe I wouldn't dare to deposit thousands of dollars again just to recover my losses. Because from my experience, when I chase losses, I end up losing more, which makes me even more annoyed and looks like a fool.

I wouldn't say that OP's lucky though, it's betting so there's an involvement of analysis so it's not all luck, if OP knows where to place the bets then there's a higher chance of OP winning. Chasing losses is a matter of what game is being played, if it's based on chances, chasing losses is the worst thing that you can do but if there's a chance that your skill can change the game, then chasing losses is a possibility and not the worst thing that you can do maybe in the latter case, it's up to you if you want to break even or stop right then and there.

Well that makes more sense, that way he will continue to earn money, and if his hacking is completely unknown by casino security then he will be able to earn money consistently and as long as he wants. And on the other hand the way they can succeed in gambling in my opinion is that they have to become the house itself, or create their own casino. You may know the casino makes a system to defeat always dominate the gamblers and that means the big and real profits are not made by the gamblers but by the casino itself, why is it like invisible and difficult to realize by the gamblers? Because the casino has a very smart system or rule, it involves the mindset and mentality of the gamblers who play there, such as for example ten defeats will be treated with just one win (mentally), and just try to calculate the number of defeats is much greater, but strangely most gamblers will not think about that, they will only be very happy when they get a win even if it's just one time out of dozens of losing attempts, and I say that's the smartness of the casino, they will give one win and exchange it for 9 defeats from the gamblers, obviously it's more profitable.

I call it greed, who doesn't want money? everyone needs money, and when they see in gambling there is an opportunity to make money then obviously even if for example they have managed to return the loss, after that they will be greedy and feel great that they have been able to return the loss in the previous time, they will never feel enough with any results there. None other than all that happens because of the factor of excessive expectations and their mistake in understanding what exactly is meant by opportunities in gambling, even though there is absolutely no guarantee. And I say this cycle will never end if they don't stop it themselves, because if it continues it will only make things worse.

What you say is true and I have proven it myself by talking to several colleagues who are active gamblers, they said that maybe yesterday today they suffered number of losses but they believe that one day they will get big win that can return all their losses along with number of profits.
I know that this is wrong thinking and it is impossible to happen so I gave them little understanding and advice but they thought what I said was just nonsense so they still believed in their founders that they would win big someday.
Even though I know they talk and have these beliefs because they have become addicts, things like this make me little surprised because they really only believe in their own way of thinking without wanting to listen to other people at all.

I understand how stressful it is when you want to chase something, not just when you want to chase a loss because I have experienced it and the results are very bad because I can't recover it even for just $1, and what is quite stressful when chasing a bonus because there is a promo can also make us stressed and even a big loss, if I'm not mistaken last year or maybe this year at the beginning when chasing bonuses and because there was very little time left, made the decision to increase the bet, although overall it was still profitable but this really drained my mind, so finally decided to take a break from gambling for a while time and only play occasionally and even then only sports betting.


Luckily, you can learn good lessons from this experience because often gamblers make wrong decisions and end up falling into addiction.

It is the belief by many gamblers especially gambling addicts that whenever they lose huge money in gambling, there are high chances that they're gonna recover all their losses if they continue to gamble more and that's why they tend to chase their losses instead of quiting.
That belief has rendered many of them financially unstable to an extent that they find it very difficult to feed themselves. When gambler is having a bad day by losing his money, the best approach to such experience is to quit at that moment and probably come to gambling after long period of time when he's already forgotten about his initial loss.

It is better for him to stop gambling than to lose even more money. It's not worth continuing because he could also experience other problems, such as prolonged frustration and depression, especially if he experiences more losses. And yes, remaining wise and responsible while gambling will always be necessary, especially for people who are new to gambling so that they don't experience bad problems after they finish gambling.

For this reason, self-control must always be trained so that we can still control ourselves while gambling and not gamble excessively. We don't want to experience bad things after we finish gambling, so having good self-control will always protect us. Gambling is entertainment and we should not use it as a way to make money, especially as there are many other ways we can use to make money.

Well true enough, I also have or even often hear some assumptions like that from them, thinking when they always lose or defeat always dominates them at the end of the session then as if they think it's like saving money that later there will be a bigger return that they will be able to get such as a significant amount of victory, even though it is just a hallucination of their addictive mindset. Obviously I will not tolerate this kind of mindset and I will conclude that they have entered the stage of addiction, and usually they will continue to play with such intentions, to restore the defeat in the previous time, when on the other hand the fact is that they will only push themselves even more to the number of losses and they will really be able to think and accept that their mindset is wrong when they have completely exhausted all their people, there is no other way like borrowing money to gamble.

And what happens to them in such conditions is to experience a lot of mental stress due to losses from gambling and also experience a lot of financial problems because obviously it will greatly disrupt their finances. So never mind, throw away such useless mindsets and beliefs, it's better to just try to quit, I say that because there really is no guarantee whatsoever in gambling to win.

Chasing losses will only cause or bring a lot of problems, are you sure that the next round will be in your favor? and what makes you so sure? if you do something like that because of the impulse of emotion and lust due to the defeat that always befalls you lately then what is the strong and reasonable reason in your mind to chase the defeat? something that is based on emotion and lust will usually always end up worse, right?

I hope you will understand the benefits and risks involved in gambling, and also understand the random rounds that will always be divided evenly for all gamblers who play, with that then I think you will understand and find the reason why you are losing. In the event that you're not sure what you're getting yourself into, then you'll need to take a look at the following tips to make sure that you're getting the most out of your gambling experience. Let's reflect and try to think about it.

People who spend a lot.of money and those money are valuable for them that's the time their ego want to chase those losses some of them made another deposits just to cater those losses and play again just to earn back and stop but not as always this happen, after they chase they just dig another dept of losses makes them lose a lot and everything because of this mistake. After that they are now suffering and have a relapse of realization with their mistakes. As you can see people who don't treat gambling as source of income just gradually chilling with their games until people seeing gambling as source of income takes it serious and become an investment with the gambling. At the end of the day always house wins. Not all gambler recover with their losses.

It is true that it is very difficult to convince these people what they believe is right but the patterns are completely different when it comes to gambling. If you lose after winning it is not possible to recover it betting to win repeatedly becomes an addiction that makes life more miserable. Most of the time is passed by gambling or thinking about gambling ready to make big bets day in and day out. They don't even remember the loss or loss after it is in their mental problems. Can't get away from it despite repeated attempts this is a big problem that many people don't want to admit.

that the mistake gamblers often make when they think the money at stake is very valuable, they should not gamble, but because of the gambler mindset, sometimes they mistakenly think of gambling as a place to multiply money, whereas gambling is provided for entertainment and when they lose, the gambler feels like they have to chase their losses. and this kind of scenario is often done by many gamblers and worse after losing too much money they blame it on gambling.

In cases like this, respecting money is very necessary, but that does not mean you have to deposit most of the money to gamble, but deposit a small amount so that when you lose, you not regret it and have the desire to chase losses and this is the correct concept of appreciating money.

The outcome of any gambling depends on luck so it is not quite right to think that everything depends only on the experience of the gambler. We all remember such soccer matches in which the outsiders won. Just such matches and are a good reminder that luck has a very important role in gambling. That is why I never make large bets even if I am one hundred percent sure that the team on which I bet will win.

No matter whether we get our income from gambling or not, we need to ensure that we use our fund nicely nit spending extravagantly.  Great gamblers are known to be disciplined and economical in spending. Those gambling that don't spend there funds on valuable things mostly end up not having anything on the table to spend again. We need to discipline ourselves even though when we are known to be a lavish spender so that we don't cry for funds at the wrong time when we should be using our leftovers for something amazing.  Careless spending as a gambler can limit our winnings if we don't always follow our plans.

Most gambling games rely on luck, but in my opinion, sportsbook games don't just rely on luck but match analysis. For gamblers who don't like football matches and place bets on football, I think the possibility of losing will be greater compared to gamblers who really like football.

For slot machine games, table games and real casino games usually just rely on luck. I like slot machine games, in my opinion if we lose a lot of money then the machine will give us a big win and if we have won a lot then the slot machine will be very bad. In games that rely on luck like this, we can only use feeling, because in my opinion there are no surefire tricks in slot games

You see, there are many people who will do even more than that. Sometimes, gamblers who feel that gambling is all about money making or profit-making, even if they lose the whole money they have deposited, they will still deposit more because they believe that they might win that last chance that they have.
There was one time I bet on a game and the last one cut it off. I was like, should I try again, or should I quit at that moment? That's what I asked myself, but I didn't try again that day. I waited till the next day. Can you imagine that the game I wanted to bet on still cut when I didn't even bet on it?

They have the mindset of "early game" where you would lose at the start of the game and then will keep playing until they recover their losses as well get profit. But for me, it's not actually applicable to gambling, cause it's literally based on luck so there's no guarantee that later on you might hit the jackpot. You might deposited almost all of your funds or sell some of your properties just to bet on gambling, for sure you will not still hit the winning round cause there's a lot of possibility and small chances of winning. Setting a limit and controlling emotions by accepting your losses should must be applied if you are gambling. My technique whenever I'm at loss is to distract myself by other activities and eventually I would forgot that I loss at gambling, by that you can prevent on trying to chase your loss.

Gambling is a game with 80% chances of luck and 20% chance of your accurate picks but some persons reverse it and always think the next net will be a win but the honest truth is that you never can tell which bet will turn out a winner and which will be a looser so it's best you only guide how much you are loosing at a time because if you are loosing lesser than you are winning you definitely wouldn't feel to bad about it.

But most gamblers put their winning first especially average gamblers and amateurs, if you priority is placed on controlling how much you loose at a time you stand a chance to suffer less pain when such losses happen but when you just stake uncontrollably because you are in high anticipation the next game will turn out a winner then you stand a chance of more losses and get frustrated when you loose.

It's true what you say, it's better to just stop than lose a lot of money if you lose control and continue to lose. I see a lot of impacts from gambling, they experience very severe depression because they lose all their money and maybe there are many problems in their lives such as being abandoned by their beloved family and being in debt everywhere and this case is very worrying. not worthy of imitation and very sad to hear, and in gambling a wise and responsible attitude is also required here, both for people who are experienced and for people who are new to gambling, so the goal is not to gamble excessively so as not to become an addict gambling.

Of course, friends, everyone who has entered the world of gambling must be able to learn to control themselves when gambling, so that they can prevent the effects of gambling and it is better to gamble just for entertainment, don't think of it as gambling. will make money there, therefore actually to make money we have to work really so that every month we get a salary.

Mostly the new gambler understand the fact it’s hard to chase the loss in the real gambling games.Nearly the 20 percentage of the loss will be covered by the gamblers,but the reaming loss can be covered if they ready to play the game till the end.In order to recover the loss in the gambling,the gambler should train himself to get the loss money with the full effort.It may take time,some times few days and sometimes it take over some years.But the gambler should wait to meet the loss money to the profit from the same gambling sites.It may be added some more dollars in the regular way to get back the loss.

And it would always be on which its never been that recommendable on doing so and if you are really that tolerating that kind of urge and then lose of control then you would really be that bound to lose more money and this is why it is really that crucial that you would really be needing to play safe and out of risks and spending on the money that you can afford to lose.
Losing is inevitable and luck isnt always on our side on which it would really be just that right that you should really be serious on handing out the risks towards gambling. You cant really just that make yourself that too careless or confident on dealing with gambling without having that risk management because it would really be that putting up that huge damage in finances
if you are really that no minding about those things.

The problem of depression is a difficult problem to overcome because they have to improve their lives slowly and promise not to return to gambling again, especially after they have lost a lot of money from gambling. The problem of depression must be solved immediately before he takes shortcuts by ending his life and this requires attention from the people around him. And gambling addiction can also cause him to experience depression due to losing money in gambling.

We all experience defeat when gambling, so we must be able to overcome the problems that can arise and there is no need to gamble again if we have experienced a lot of losses. That is why we must be able to limit our gambling so that we do not experience any problems. I agree with you by making gambling entertainment and not gambling excessively so that we can prevent gambling addiction, which many people have experienced.

This is easy to say than done since we are talking about gambling and not trading. People gamble because they want a quick profit. It’s obvious that anyone with losses on gambling will do the quickest way as much as possible to recover their losses. Playing slowly to recover losses is a good idea but that kind of patience level is very hard to apply on gambling since people will not gamble if they have that patience.

This chasing loss is the typical error of players which the casino really like that’s why they give some cash back feature just to encourage user to play since they some insurance when they lose.

And that is precisely the issue here, even if someone had the necessary skills and traits to gamble in a methodical way in order to recover the money they have lost, this attitude is not something anyone expects from them, not even themselves, and this is because hardly any gambler will wager their money in this way, as it is way more likely to take impulsive decisions when we gamble, then the correct choice when losing more money than what we expected is to stop gambling instead of trying to chase our losses.

True, whatever they say about gambling is not going to be true, especially when it comes to some of the self-control that they say, honestly I wouldn't really believe what they say because obviously it's very difficult to be able to apply some boundaries when you're gambling, it's almost impossible although maybe yes there are some who can do it but most of what I know is that they just talk the talk and don't act according to what they said before. I agree with that, one of the reasons why they come to gambling is because they see an opportunity to get easy money when it's not as easy as they think, and I say that opportunity is just a trap to keep them gambling indefinitely.

Although they may be very patient with their efforts to recover the losses in the previous time but I can't be sure if they will actually be able to recover it, because obviously the final result refers to luck so maybe even though they have tried dozens of times it could fail and what happens is the amount of loss is even greater, it is very possible because of course there is no guarantee whatsoever to be able to win.

Well of course, chasing defeat in my opinion will only waste their time, before gambling you should be able to understand the rules, if you lose then you have to be sincere because it is very unlikely for anyone to return the defeat, as I said above, it's just about luck. The casino will only give winnings to tempt the gambler back to continue playing, that's all.

Some gamblers manage to win, but they have to take bigger risks to win. But some people don't dare to take bigger risks, especially since they have seen their losses take a lot of their money, and they can't afford to lose again, so they decide to stop. That is why we should not follow what our mind tells us because it can cause us to experience defeats that we will not even be able to face, and ultimately, we become frustrated.

That is why we have to be able to control ourselves well so as not to be tempted by things in gambling so that we can stop gambling easily. We won't be able to imagine what would happen if we lost more money in the next round, especially if we ended up losing the winning money we got previously.

If you are not a fan of taking the risk,  it's always good to stop and quit, gambling is not the right venue  for you. Chasing losses and trying recover your money once you already losses some of it might be difficult to handle, there are many kind of emotions that will begin to bother  you especially when things is not favoring your side, it's best  not to continue and stop your sessions to avoid having more losing streak to take place.

self-control is indeed needed on this activity because if you failed to stop yourself, you will be a slave of this habit up until you are ruining your life because you can't get out anymore. i guess, most of us already experienced this chasing losses at one point of our gambling life, and we already know what happened to our funds afterwards. so we should remember such lesson and remind ourselves why we are really into this gambling.

If the result is the other way around, I understand the real feeling lol.

Been through a lot of chasing losses experiences and what a relief if in the end, successfully managed to recover all those losses in that particular session. To tell you honestly, it's really hard to sleep after that big effort pushing to recover from the loss and nothing good happened at the end.

What a nice effort done by OP and that was tough work. It's not just about the money but the long period of time spent to recover those loses.

Self control would be always in question because having this kind of quality or behavior would really be varying on a certain individual on which there are ones which are good but there are ones who do really fail 100%. Dangers or chasing up losses is really that always be that risky because if you've been having that kind of emotion on trying out to recover on what you have lost then you would really be losing track when it comes to your spending and since we do have that kind of bankroll which are allocated on such particular session then it would really be just that right that you should really be that mindful on how you would really be controlling yourself when it comes to spending and never ever chase up losses because tendency to deposit more would really be that likely.

If you arent that aware about those actions then sooner or later you would really be finding yourself on sleeping on the streets on which tons of gamblers had
wrecked out their lives just because of that wrong decision that they had made out.

In my own analysis of people who dangerously chase their losses, over 75% of people who seriously chase their losses ends up as losing more money instead of getting them back from gambling. In my own opinion about the subject of the matter, I think it's better to avoid trying to get back our losses at that very time we lost the money because we won't be cool headed enough to be strategic and gamble rightly which will help us to win.

The gambler who target the loss in the gambling site should need of the time to recover the loss.Seriously no need to worry for the gambling loss,because after the certain period every gambler had the chance for the big win to the gambling sites.It’s better to manage the loss by using the free money to the gambling sites.The new gambler can be begin certain money in few month and recover all the losses if they ready to play for the gambling game.The motive was the biggest reason for the game,if the game was made for the game,we can’t predict the result.The god may allow such a passionate gambler to do the miracle by the big win.

Lol I actually had to smile a little bit when I read your post, this escalated really hard man! :D You get started with a $85 deposit just to end up depositing $1800? I mean if someone gets started with $85 without the plan to play higher stakes later on (because you could have deposited much more right away), what actually happened in the meantime that made you increase your initial deposit by over 2,000%? :There is some jump in the logic or a massive loss of control! ;)

Next time we'll read here "I got started with a $200 deposit and now I am homeless because I sold my house after 3 hours and used that trying to recoup my $200 loss".

It is true that if someone has experienced depression due to losing gambling, it is not easy for him to recover quickly, there must be special treatment and balanced support from the people closest to him. In my opinion, special treatment is being given motivation and good advice and little by little trying to learn to reduce gambling, I think this step will reduce the burden, although it is not easy, it must be tried.

Of course yes, friend, because it is natural for someone to experience defeat when gambling, apart from that, we as gamblers must be able to accept this defeat, and from this defeat we must make it an experience so that when we want to gamble we are always careful when we act. in terms of time and stakes. In this way we inadvertently try to control ourselves in gambling and prevent ourselves from becoming gambling addicts.

Most of the time --chasing losses ended up being a big loser but some people got luck just like you and OP who managed to recover.
I was in that situation but was too unlucky and even emptied my wallet badly. That is why I don't chase anymore if I have been losing 3 consecutive bets, I'd rather decide to stop because this is a sign that I have no luck this day. Because the more I played, the more I lost. I'd rather take a break and be back the next day hoping that the time has been favored to me.

Motivation and good advice and staying with him during the depression recovery process can help him survive and get through his depression. It may not be easy, but it's all for the sake of his recovery and also so that he can realize his previous mistakes so that he won't want to return to gambling again. This needs to be paid attention to because someone who is depressed doesn't seem to want to think about anything and tends to be confused about what to do. This is where the assistance provided can lead him to start to organize his life again and always say that he has many opportunities to return to normal.

When we experience loss in gambling, we must be able to accept it because in gambling, we will face wins and losses and everything will depend on luck and the analysis we do. By having self-control, we can prevent ourselves from losing a lot and won't want to spend a lot of money to gamble. We will think about avoiding the problem of gambling addiction, especially since we have seen what impact gambling addiction will have on a person, including the people around him. That is why, when we lose, we will not pursue the loss or try to recover the loss because that will only result in an even bigger loss.

Chasing losses is not a good idea because of the high possibility to lose more money. The typical approach is to stop and refrain from trying to recover it back. I experienced this before so I know exactly the feeling and the pressure that didn't end up well.

In your situation, you're still lucky to recover your loss and even managed to profit from the last deposit. The good thing about this experience is, you realized that it is dangerous that trigger you to deposit more and became out of control in placing bets.

Maybe you mean gamblers who are always chasing victory, I agree with that statement because it is true and in accordance with the fact that anyone who is too serious in pursuing victory in gambling then instead of victory they get but instead of defeat will continue to dominate. I honestly don't really agree not to worry too much about the name of defeat even though there will definitely be certain times for them to get lucky, but I want to ask if the victory will match the number of defeats they have sacrificed? while on the other hand the percentage of defeat is much greater than victory, and that means there must be more defeat than victory, that's clear.

This is always the initial disease that causes them to be addicted, they misinterpret an opportunity that is not at all certain, even though the victory comes but look at the number of defeats is much greater because they get one victory with dozens of attempts and it is not healthy for recovery. The results in gambling are very dependent on luck, so even if you try as often as possible if you don't get luck then you will still lose, so you should never think about chasing defeat, it's better to reduce your gambling from now on the final results can never be predicted.

Yes, we have experienced it. Perhaps some of us have experienced it very badly. That is why we must continue to practice self-control so that we do not experience destruction because of the stupid things we do. We've all had those moments, and fortunately, we can overcome them, so at least we have ways to work for us; by continuing to do this while gambling, we will not experience huge losses because we can prevent these big losses. We also always try to avoid addiction because it is a serious problem that is difficult to cure.

Yes indeed, if you follow that emotion and fortunate not go your way losing more money would be the next thing that you will realize, suffering from more upsetting outcome and having that issue would trigger more chances that you will continue to aggressively chase those losses putting you in the situation where you can risk everything and lose more money after.

There's always a possibility that due to other factors, instead of coping with losses or making your way to recover, chances are that greed can eat you up and lead you to ask for more.

Yes, of course it is not an effective way to catch up on losses that have been lost. If they play gambling with this principle, it is true what you said, instead of recovering losses, they will lose more money, so the one who makes a profit is the bookie, not those who gamble with the wrong principle. If they want to recover losses, it is not by gambling again, but they must leave gambling, and change their mindset.

The winnings obtained will not even be equivalent to the losses that have occurred. Even if he wins I'm sure it doesn't cover all the losses that have been lost. It is true that you said sometimes people are uncontrollable when placing bets, this makes their money run out quickly. Even with the guarantee of winning with a large value too but it does not rule out the possibility that they will lose. So in my opinion the small or large bets they place, it will not guarantee them a win.

When a gambler loses a lot of money through gambling, it's advisable to immediately start to chase his losses because at that very moment, he's unlikely to get back his losses since he wouldn't be mentally strong enough to be strategic in his gambling. People who chase their losses are more eager to win than to be strategic in their approach to gambling making it very difficult to win at that very time.

It's really risky to chase both winnings and losses. There are two chances with probability of achievement varying based on your luck, skills, and strategies. If you want so badly to chase winnings, there's a possibility that you will win a huge amount or even the jackpot prize, however, there's also the probability of you losing all your money because of failed attempts. High risk, high reward. If you are an aggressive player, then probably you are after the thrill and excitement as well as profit. It may turn out good, but it may turn out to be your darkest dark.

Chasing losses is risky as well because the moment you run after all your lost money and got lost in the process, you will lose more and more in the long run. You might not even recover your losses and instead accumulate more of it because of your greediness and ambition to break even. If you have the chance to exit, do it gracefully. That way, it will bring less heartache and less losses. It's good that you've learned your lesson and I hope others will learn a thing or two on your experience to avoid undergoing the same stupid thing.

In my opinion, getting help from other people in the form of guidance and advice to cure depression experienced by gamblers is very helpful, because someone who has experienced depression tends to be alone and less social with other people because they are confused about what to do. . right now maybe what he is thinking about is whether telling other people will lighten his burden and he thinks that other people don't need to know what he is experiencing, maybe he feels embarrassed if other people know the truth.

That's right, when we want to gamble we have to face all the risks, losing and winning are common things experienced by gamblers, by having thoughts like that at the start of course gamblers will try to control themselves as much as possible. , so as not to experience too many losses and too many losses. , and this will also be an important experience for them if they want to gamble again, self-control is very important.

Let's be honest here, casino games aren't anywhere near sport's betting, for sports betting you can manage to make a 3odds bet and stake your full bank roll and win but with casino games you can't always win in one hit and you should be ready to play a good number of hands before the game turns in favour of you, so a few losses are very much normal still you wait for your winning run to come and not necessarily that you are chasing your losses, but waiting for the winning train.

Lol can relate, anything that offsets your mood can affect you potential to win and am pretty sure most gamblers have experienced this..

this is the effect if you let your emotion takes place when in gambling table because sure you will have wrong decisioning then,
Look at what you have experience from this and now you have learned your lesson that chasing losses is the stupidest attitude a gambler must have
even that I am not an expert but I know that when you chase losses is that how you are keep trapping yourself into another losses endangering all your funds
just because you believe that there are ways to recover those amount but the long you stayed is the more you losing.
you have a good winning history but made a wrong mindset , hope that there will be another chance to win again and never to let your feeling decide for you.

If a player hits a Seasonal Affective Disorder in gambling, he'll never feel like gambling again. But, during the cause of his gambling habit, he lost so much money, he'll definitely stress himself thinking about it. Which outcome, may lead to depression. Nothing fuels the speed of depression like loneliness. That's why people who are depressed from different reasons, lost of loved ones, losing a fortune etc will heal easily if they open up to people about being depressed. I understood that most gambling addicts were depressed before joining gambling. Then their chase for loss also helped to skyrocket their depression rate. When they get to a point where gambling doesn't feel good to them anymore, they'll lock themselves in their room thinking about life and many other things. They've added gambling to the list of reasons that led them to be depressed. I always encourage such people, to open up and talk. Different therapies can reduce depression, hanging out with loved ones and keeping in touch with people can help us detect if a person is depressed. Being shy or embarrassed to share our problems with people only helps broaden the problem. A little form of kindness can get these people talking. Others may begin to talk, when they've conquered depression.  But a good number keep mute about their suffering and not every one is comfortable with defeat; they can't accept it. They'll go on and on thinking about it, especially if their favorite team losses a match. Such people may not get over it, coupled with the money lost as a result. In a nutshell, from the look of things, depression led most people to gamble. Seeking for transient joy. The same way some would go for alcohol or drugs, then people would blame it on what they can see. Depression is deep down, we can't see the cause of it. Only a victim of depression knows, actually, what led them into depression. We won't know until informed by the person. Calling on the secondary causes like gambling, drugs and alcohol as the enforcers is because we feel it's the cause, rather I'd say that they're the enhancers of the depression.

You need to let go of the loss and start with a fresh mindset or maybe give yourself some time to heal before you can start over again, losses do come with this emotion and are sometimes very hard to control, stick to your plans and don't try to be greedy next time by trying to go way above your gambling budget, your such a lucky man to have recovered your loss.

They do that because they want to recover the losses they have incurred in gambling, but there is no sure way or a powerful way to recover the losses, my advice is that if they want to recover the losses, they better leave gambling to avoid greater losses. Because it is useless for those who have experienced losses and pursue them by placing a higher bet value, it does not guarantee a win that will replace their losses.

Even if they place a higher bet, it will not change the situation, it will only make it worse. That way they will continue to be ambitious to restore their losses, continue like that until they become crazy because of addiction and winnings that never get. by placing higher bet values, it will only make their money run out quickly instead of bigger wins they will get but more losses they will get. So periodically their mentality will be damaged and their mindset will also be damaged because they continue to pursue big wins that are impossible to get.

Those who experience depression feel afraid to open themselves up, especially to meet other people, because they feel guilty or something else that makes them uncomfortable meeting other people. But if other people nearby want to understand the situation and conditions, those other people will not give up. They will continue to try to approach the depressed person, even using various methods.

Depression resulting from experiencing a lot of losses from gambling and having used up a lot of money often occurs in people so they try to recover their losses. But that doesn't guarantee they can recover their losses because that could increase the amount of their losses even greater. And if that's the case, the depression can get worse and it will be more difficult for other people to help. That is why we do not need to recover the losses we experience from gambling because it will be difficult. We can experience deep disappointment, frustration and depression and the worst thing is that we can experience gambling addiction.

If you don't hope to become great using gambling you won't be chasing losses, this mentality of winning back what you've lost starts the moment you start planning to make big amount of money from gambling, that's when you will start risking higher amount and you are only ready to take the risks but you can't digest the losses if it happens, you are not preventing the losses from happening and it will surely happens because it's gambling.

I feel like people who turned into gambling don't know what gambling is all about, but because they see people winning they also want to be like them, the truth is those who won are only going to show them the result when they win but not the opposite of gambling when they lost money.

Someone once said it to my face that let them gamble, they will learn what it feels like to lose money, this person said this after someone knew how much he won in his last bet, but they never knew how much he has lost before he won this round, knowledge is a powerful thing, that's why it's important to learn about things before you start spending money.

That's a good statement, if you don't have that intention in winning decent amount of money out from your gambling activities then you will not be bothered to chase those losses that you already have from your previous sessions, I think people who have that desire in winning decent amount are the one who are really prone to making mistake and in the end of the session they will lose more.

All are depends on how you treat your gambling participation. If you are all for enjoyment, then let it go and stay safe, not to add more money to chase your losses.

In theory or words, I totally agree to you because I knew exactly how to play properly I’m not gambling but everything is different if you are experiencing it on actual.

You have some attachment to your money and it’s really tingling when you loss part of it while you still have available money to play more just to have a comeback. It’s very easy to say not to chase loss if you are not on that situation specifically not your money involved but this kind of chasing loss problem will not gonna be majority of gamblers problem if it’s really easy to control.  ;D

Budgeting for gambling minimizes the risk but within that budget should be limited. A good way to recover gambling losses is not to be greedy. It's a good idea to take a few days off after a win and it's hard to recover from greed and re-betting. Although greed manifests itself through various acts and gambling is seen by many people as an easy way to get more than their own earnings. When the game becomes more than the joy of the game greed works in them and the immersion in the game leads to neglect of personal family social or economic duties.

However, gamblers must learn not to chase losses if they lose. They can experience more losses, especially if they use more money. That will only cause their emotions to escalate, and in the end, their self-control will disappear, so they end up using all their money to gamble. We may have often seen this happen to many gamblers or perhaps we have experienced it ourselves. If so, we better start learning to stop ourselves after losing in gambling rather than wanting to recover the loss because it is not worth continuing. If you think you can recover the loss, you can try, but it will be your responsibility when you lose more money without being able to recover the loss.

One of the things that can make them not chase past losses is in my opinion by realizing themselves that whatever the final result is natural because gambling will always refer to luck, but yes I understand it is very difficult to be able to achieve this awareness because of their mindset that has been disturbed by all the temptations in gambling.

For those who are already addicted, it is basically very difficult to justify their mindset, even though they have suffered many losses but still they are chasing victory, they think that the more experiments they do it will make the chances of winning closer but in fact the number of defeats is getting bigger. Of course, with results like that, their emotions are even more increasing and the situation is getting hotter. For those who always say "I have prepared self-control" honestly I will not fully believe it because it is not necessarily that they will be able to do that if the situation is already hot meaning they are very emotional and usually what happens is that they will do anything to be able to satisfy their lust such as depositing more money in gambling.

That's right, we have to be responsible gamblers, if you have won then you should immediately go and enjoy the money, and also if you have lost today then yes don't chase the victory because there is no guarantee to recover.

Exactly, I have several experience, lets say, when I made a $30 deposits, I'm lose just in few hours. Because no money to playing morr, so I was stopped playing. But, after I claimed $4 rebate, I get $25 winning, this is something can be a lesson for us, no matter how much our money, win will come anytime if we are on luck season. But, chasing lose for winning, maybe we will get nothing when we are on bad luck season.

With your opinion above, I can conclude that it is not easy for someone who has experienced severe depression to recover quickly, there needs to be action that motivates him so that he can recover, albeit slowly but surely, this action is what he must think about. that if he doesn't want to tell people about the condition he is experiencing, he will probably feel even more depressed and think that by telling the story the burden on his life will be reduced a little because maybe other people will sympathize and give it to him. attention and advice. Maybe in cases like this, gamblers need important attention so that we all don't experience severe depression due to gambling. Yes, of course there is strong and appropriate self-control so that we can always be alert and not experience depression if one day we lose.

It is very difficult to realize that if they want to recover from their losses, they will not have a bigger chance because of the possibility of an even bigger defeat. They must at least be aware and not try to recover from their defeat and be willing to accept their loss. After all, they should gamble just for fun in their free time and not intend to make money from gambling.

Those who have experienced gambling addiction but still realize that they are addicted to gambling should be able to think that even if they try to recover their previous losses, they will not be able to get close to that amount of losses and will only increase their losses even bigger. They must really master self-control, and until they can master it, they shouldn't gamble in the first place. But it's not easy because there will be an urge to keep gambling, and if they still can't control themselves, they will return to gambling and will eventually become worse gambling addicts.

By being responsible gamblers, we will not worry about gambling problems because we do not use gambling as a place to make money but just to have fun. If we win, it is a bonus, and if we lose, it is a risk that we will face and accept.

Yes, when the time is right, the win will come by itself, and we don't need to chase after that win because it means we are taking even greater risks because of that loss. It's better if we just enjoy gambling as entertainment and don't pursue anything from gambling because it won't be easy for us. By continuing to gamble with full self-control, we will not get into any problems, and we can achieve our goal of using gambling for entertainment.

Yes because depression in my opinion is one of the diseases that is quite difficult to find a cure, and even if there is maybe it's just the usual tranquilizers that doctors always recommend, because this is indeed a disease that exists in the human mind so the healing process along with the medicine is also quite different, yes that's right motivation in my opinion will be quite helpful because they need things that can encourage them to get back on their feet as well as with a little fun so that they are not too stressed in such conditions. To heal completely does take a lot of time but maybe with some encouragement from others it will be more helpful and facilitate their recovery process. And yes another thing that needs to be done is that I hope they will be able to tell the people around them about the problems they are experiencing, because problems like this need some advice and encouragement from others to be considered about what to do next, and if they can't open up to others then I think this problem is difficult to solve, because maybe you will just spend a lot of time in solitude and obviously if in a state of depression you even lock yourself up then what happens is you will feel even more depressed, and the fear is that it is very possible that you can do things out of control.

So basically if you are experiencing problems that cause you depression then it is better to be more open to the people around you, because I am sure they will definitely care about you and will help you through some suggestions that you can follow for a change for the better, or maybe just ease your problems.

What an incredible instructive story! Thank you for sharing the screenshots, and it looks very exciting. I think that everyone could be in your situation because everyone is bored and everyone can go beyond their money management in gambling because of this. And then the game for entertainment can be very expensive for the deposit of fox funds. You certainly took a big risk, and you understand that. I think this story will make those who are one step away from playing with an increase in bets exponentially think.

That's the issue, "awareness" is not high with people who are chasing losses. I mean lets assume that you saw your friend throw their phone from a high place into a deep sea, and their phone doesn't work anymore, or couldn't even find it, would you test it out and do the same thing with the hopes that maybe yours would work? I mean when you saw that sometimes is bad for you, you know it's bad for you, it's not like some theoretical thing, it's obvious and tangible and you can clearly see it.

Gambling losses are like that, it's literally mathematically designed to make you lose, there is no secret behind it, there is nothing wrong with it, it's literally house edge. But some people still do not know what to do and end up making mistakes and that's fine, there is really nothing wrong with that, let that be and we should be fine. I believe that we are going to end up with something that shouldn't really be getting all that much of a crazy result in the end.

Depression could really be get into different things on which you should really be that so careful on dealing up with things on which you know that it could really be causing up such depression or anxiety or whatever bad feeling or condition that would be involving your emotion on which we know that it could really be that able to affect us out negatively in all sorts of angles. Going back into gambling session that its never been that recommendable that you should really be that chasing up your losses when doing gambling because when this desperation kicks in then this is the start on making yourself walking into a condition on which losing up
money would really be that a huge problem and this is somethign that must avoid. Speaking about danger then it is really that a danger which would causing up for you to end up on miserable in terms of finances.

This is why on the time that you do gonna play then you should really be that making  yourself that be wary about those potential risks and conditions so that you would really be that prepared on whatever
you are really that dealing with. Never ever chase up losses and you should really be knowing on call it a day just in case you are experiencing consecutive losses or really that a huge damage into
your bankroll. You should really be having those senses for you to avoid on.

Whatever the strategy, method, if a gambler always has the intention to chase losses, in the end, what they experience is usually the opposite. in most cases, gamblers who chase losses are usually trapped in their own mindset. especially when it involves losses in the past, this is what actually makes a person's condition worse when gambling. who in the end, experience bankruptcy or become addicts. However, at least we have to be balanced in responding to things. Some very lucky gamblers can get big wins while chasing losses. not infrequently, someone gets the jackpot. even though, if we compare, there are more losers than winners. 

Well, referring to what you said, the concept should be like that. In principle, we do not need to remember the losses we have suffered. But with a note, play normally as usual. If we lose today there is still another day to play again, while recovering our condition from angry emotions and at the same time making our minds healthy. Well, if we talk about playing to win, it would be very natural for every gambler to want it.  It's just how we respond to it in each game session. After all, winning and losing is a normal thing. For me, it's not a problem to have no intention of winning a decent amount of money. but more to the point, are we able to engage in self-control, so that we don't get caught up in the feelings and desires of our own minds.

And this is what this story demonstrates, there are many people out there which believe that only addicted gamblers will suffer huge losses when they gamble, but the truth is that no one has perfect control over their emotions, so something that begins as just another gambling session can degenerate into massive losses just because of a lapse in your judgment, consequentially gamblers need to always keep their emotions in check, and as soon as they bet more than what they wanted during a session they should stop immediately or huge losses may come their way.

That is very true. Even though we have strict financial control, for me there are still emotional moments due to losing and when conditions like that happen we usually spend more money than usual to gamble. I often lose control when I get a big win the previous day and the next day I usually budget more money for gambling, and as usual when I get a big win then the next day will be a nightmare, and I spend some of yesterday's winnings.

It is true that basically there are quite a lot of things that have the potential to make someone depressed, and one of the things that must be done as a preventive measure I think by trying to indicate whether the activity you are going to do can have an impact on your mental and psychological damage or not, if indeed it can have an impact then I hope you don't do it or just reduce it. One of the activities that can make you suffer from depression and which is very possible is the gambling we are discussing, if you have a character that is easily provoked and easily upset when something does not go your way then it is better to avoid gambling, this is especially for those who have never gambled or who just want to get into gambling, I hope you can recognize your own character and also see what impacts there are in gambling so that you don't regret it because you realized it too late. And also yes of course for the worst impact that has happened a lot is that they will suffer a lot of financial problems in their lives, that's obvious.

They should really understand about the risks they can face in gambling, and also be more familiar with the concept of luck, not only so that they can become responsible gamblers by accepting all the final results even if they are bad. I believe that by understanding that, they will not dare to chase defeat.

      -  When a person suffers or goes through depression, it is not easy for that person to overcome it because it is a battle between himself, and if he does not overcome it, he will surely destroy it himself.

That's why you are right that if there are people around him who know or feel what he is going through, these people make the person who is going through depression feel that it is not too late to change. So if you are in a situation where you are always losing, the simple thing to do is stop for a while because there will be another day or chance to make up for what we have lost, because one day you will be lucky too.

Keeping your emotions in a stable state might be difficult, especially in times of the same situation as you. Recently winning with a huge amount gives confidence to each gambler and makes them think of the possibility of winning more. However, once what you thinking does not happen, it causes the loss of control of your emotions and will lead to chasing your losses.

This commonly happens in every gambler. Even for some who consider gambling as a stress reliever or doing it mainly to have fun, a lot of them end up emotionally invested in the game. Making it hard to control the emotion and forget how to control it.

No man can control himself completely. Addiction is just scary because no one can notice how much he is already addicted to gambling or other gambling. For example, the inability to promise yourself not to gamble for a while, for a year, may be the initial sign of gambling addiction. Therefore, you need not only to be able to analyze yourself, but also to share your inner state with other people.

Or simply thinking gambling when you first wake up and wanted to play and recover because last night it was just losing streak for you. Experience that thing before, and as soon as I wake up I wanted to play right away online. But when I go back and think about it, it's wrong mindset to begin with. But as you have said, it's hard to control oneself when you are addicted.

But I was able to snap and no longer the way I played. Of course sometimes I have to scratch my itch to play, but I have set certain limits now and my budget. And if I ever lost, I never chase and just enjoy the game.

I beg to disagree.

People can master controlling their emotions and urges. We are the highest form of being in the planet and we have the capability to think and analyze the things we will do. Every actions that a gambler will make is a result of his own judgment. If a gambler will decide to gamble for fun, it's because he wants to relax and have a hobby to destress from the toxicity happening around. He will not go overboard if he is disciplined enough to know the repercussions of gambling once he go past his limits.

But if a person doesn't really want to make a difference, do not strive to have a goal in mind or a reason why he is gambling, the probability of him overspending and frequently playing more often than what's supposed to will probably what will happen. As a result, he could fall into addiction that's very challenging to recover from if a person is not willing enough. Relapse could also happen because of weak self-control. Which is why it's still better to prevent addiction from happening rather than curing it once it sets on.

So if any newbie is lurking around here that is curious to gamble, remember to be firm to your limitations and do not sacrifice your discipline and good gambling attitude.

Speak for yourself bug, if you can not control yourself in gambling, that does not mean that no body else can do it.
And again, addiction is not scary, and you can sure know how much addicted you are into gambling if you pay attention to your self and your activities and actions in gambling.

Someone who is conscious wit their gambling activities need not be told when they are already going out of control in gambling. There is what we call self-awareness.

Bring aware of yourself helps you understand yourself, your activities and your surroundings, a gambler who is self aware will know how to control him or herself from gambling overboard, in order to avoid unnecessary losses and possible addiction to gambling.

Listen bug, if someone thinks that they are in full control, then this is the first step to losing control.
You should always question your control and have a sufficient level of self-criticism and reflection for constant development. If you think that this is not about you, then that's your business, but self-confidence has not brought anyone to good. As well as not being able to communicate with interlocutors is disrespectful.

Yes, that's why the person who can cure depression is basically yourself. If the person is willing to open up to other people, the problems they experience will be slightly reduced because other people will feel sympathy and concern for them, but if the person who is depressed is reluctant to talk and is closed about it. The problem is that it is very difficult to recover because the burden he is carrying is very heavy and the depression can get worse.

Yes, before it's too late, it would be good for us to think carefully first, because depression will appear suddenly when someone experiences a big loss because they are too excessive and expect a lot to win at gambling. If you think like that continuously it will make the condition worse. and far from luck winning. And we must prevent this from an early age with the best possible self-control.

Someone could really be able to easily make out some claims about having those control or whatsoever word that it would come out into their mouths but everything would really be reflecting out on the things that they've been doing.Yes, its easy to say but on the time that you are on the actual situation then things turns out to be a mess or something that you have already forgotten on what you had set out earlier.  Conditions like continuous losses on which it would really be creating that kind of emotion or feeling that will really be pushing you to the limit and this is something
that would really likely to happen. This is why its never been that good that you would be losing of control just because you have that losing that much, if you arent prepared to lose
money then dont gamble in the first place.

Better to prevent and stop if possible before it's too late, depression is a possible outcome of what you did especially when you are not ready to lose a lot of money and you are using this venue to try making some, it's much better to play and use the money that you are willing to let go and have that kind of mentality to quit your way once you already suffer from losses that you set as limit before stepping inside this venue, otherwise you will suffer if you continue chasing your losses as your chance to recover most of the time is next to impossible.

When someone thinks they’re in total control all the time to a point where he’ll be doing exactly what he should not and still be thinking he’s in control.
But i would disagree with your point that self confidence has never brought anyone any good. It has brought a lot of good to a person with self confidence. Self control is what really helps a man overcome a lot of things. A person could easily fall deep into any vices without self control.

Really, you're not a regular or an addict gambler? But your screenshots shows like you are one of it. And I'm sure this wasn't the first or the last, but I hope you can recover and change your gambling activity drastically. You said you are sick.

You already took a day off, so you should use that to take a rest. Gambling is a worse idea to do for the person who have a bad experience about it, but good for you that you have recovered your losses and still end's up as a winner. If not, the regret must be heavy if you don't have any money left, but some gamblers will take a loan, sell stuffs, do crime, etc.. only to try again. This is one of the dark and scary side of it.

Yes I agree because indeed precautions are one of the important parts that should be applied by gamblers, this is very risky gambling, I hope that anyone already understands about the worst effects that exist in gambling, so with that I think they will know about what they should do as a precaution so that something unwanted does not happen or maybe just to minimize.

One of the impacts that they can feel from gambling involvement is like you said and depression is more likely to occur and besides that it is clear that financial problems will occur when you bring the wrong mindset to gambling. I'm not going to say that it's completely wrong, because obviously winning will happen to every gambler, but on the other hand we have to pay attention to the fact that there is no consistency and no guarantee in gambling so this really has to be considered.

Agree with that, in terms of money allocation is indeed the first point in my opinion that must be considered, do not put money that you absolutely cannot be responsible for any results that will occur at the end of the session, because it will determine how much impact you have to face and whether you are a responsible gambler or not. If they already have this kind of mentality and also with the right mindset then I think they will know what actions to take when defeat is happening to them, and one more thing, there is absolutely no possible opportunity for them to chase losses because obviously gambling is not a place to make money.

When a player starts Looking for money to Recover his losses , what Happens is that when we are not in the casino, we Usually do things the best we can , for this we Always have a little money to lose. , but it is clear that there are times when control is lost and more money and more money can be put in, when we do not commit money that we Should not spend is where the Problems Come, for this reason we must make sure that every time I have one more Gaming Session We have to be very Careful , that is why when we are about to win or win, we must do many thing s, First when we Win or we are winning if we put in a lot of money, and then we lose, the first thing that comes to mind is winning. , and bet more to keep Betting, then What can we do ? The Most likely thing is to bet more, and Therein lies the danger because if a person does Not control themselves, the losses will be many.

I'm sure that at some Point you haven't gotten past that , Because we can do many Things , we can't chase Losses because that's what makes us do things Wrong , when We chase losses in a very risky way what we can Achieve is more losses, then that Should not be Done, when we are in that case we have to give everything of ourselves to be able to have a better Understanding of the game, if a lot of money was lost in a game , the best we can is to turn the page and Oh, we can't continue there, because otherwise the results will be bad, we have to proceed in another way, going to the casino on another day, or in a week, depending on when the impact of the loss has Worn off , that's what Smarter than we can do, if we can do that and overcome that , I think that if we are maturing as players, the main thing here is to learn that when we lose we have to do things that can Make us lose more , sometimes our Logic fails Because the Casinos will make us Lose , the System is likeThat.

Chasing losses is actually normal and natural, most gamblers do it when they have lost some money in their previous gambling session but most of the time they deny that they are chasing losses :)
Dangerous or not is absolutely depending on ourselves, it is fine to chase lose as long as we still have a limit when we are chasing losses.
Lets say we lost $100 yesterday, and we are planning gambling again in the next upcoming days, we should limit on how much to lose and how much to chase.
Both limit are important because when we are in the chasing moment and we have actually get what we have lost, usually we are not stopping but we continue playing because of our greed.

Yes, but we still want to try it. That's because we think it's not completely true, and we still want to prove it. Often, our mind already knows what the result will be, but we just want to prove that we are wrong and continue gambling. However, in reality, it will be like what we think. That's what happens to most gamblers. When they think that continuing to gamble is not good for them because they could lose even bigger, they continue because they hope to win. We have all been in conditions like that, so we have had experiences that we can share with other people.

Yes, there is no secret behind it, but we are in the wrong because we have obeyed egos and desires that we cannot accept that we lost. People who don't know this usually cannot accept loss and are still willing to try to recover their losses even though they know that it will not increase their chances of winning. And they keep making the same mistakes if they don't start to realize it.

Its clear that your findings are very important because they bring up the riskiness of gambling and its effects. Recognizing that gambling comes with risks and no promises is an important point that is easily forgotten in the excitement of possible wins. Underneath gaming is dangerous, causing problems with money and making people more likely to become depressed.

Focusing on how to spend your money is a key part of safe gambling. This is a smart way of thinking that can help you avoid making bad choices and then feeling bad about them later. Putting a responsible attitude next to doing pointless things like chasing losses gives you a lot of useful information. Your point of view is admirably complex and full of wisdom.

What he should do like that, it's better to prevent it before it's too late, but maybe what he did before was that he lost control when gambling, spending a lot of money and chasing the winnings or chasing the losses he had earned. Yes, depression in gambling because it could be caused by that and when he loses at gambling he doesn't have a strong mentality so he can't accept it if his money runs out and his depression or emotions appear suddenly. Agree with you, before entering the world of gambling, it's a good idea to have money and time limits, the goal is so that when you lose, you don't lose much and you don't need to chase after your losses, because you only lose a little money.

You only lose the amount that you are willing to let go and not to have that mentality to chase the money, but to accept the fact that you are inside gambling and there's always a big chance of losing your money. With that anticipation, you can limit yourself and not to drive your way in aggressively trying to win back.

With a good acceptance, the chance of losing control and losing a lot of money is not as high compared to those who don't have any set limitation and just gamble their way inside the casino.

I think yoou didn't do anything wrong when you do that because you're not spending your own capital but spending your profit. When we make profits, it's always good we add some money to the capital we'll use in gambling therefore increasing the capital so we can also increase the possibilities of making more profits. If you don't keep some profits and use them all up, you'll be affected when you need more wagers as there's no more money to use in gambling.

If you increase your capital that you'll use as wagers, you won't be tempted to chase after losing as you'll know you have more money that you can use for bets. Chasing losses won't help you because it only leads to more losses. Revenge gambling is a big reason why individuals lose money and get addicted to gambling therefore if we want to become a successful gambler, we have to avoid chasing losses and also avoid other unhealthy practice when gambling.

Wow Congratulations because at least you succeeded your chase and still bagged 150$ in which not what happened to me when I chase losses and even for friends because mostly it will end of being a total loser and regrets their decision but you seems to be fair not losing that last 1800 dollars deposit because for sure you will regret that all your life.

another congratulations in advance mate if you can stand for this , to never do the same thing again and will be very careful in everything when in gambling because you will only win in lower chances but will lose all the time.

Yes, with the self-control that I exercise as you stated above, it is true that this is my step to overcome or prevent the impact of risk in gambling, so I will place bets in small amounts and not be greedy in pursuing victory.

That's right, having restrictive measures in gambling is certainly not as bad as the impact it will have in the casino. What I mean is that if someone has the right controls and limits in gambling, it is also possible that he will suffer all the consequences that exist in every casino game. and the most important thing is that he knows that casinos can also make him happy if played correctly and not excessively and not all casinos will make our lives worse, if we live them according to good rules and boundaries.

Yes that's right, their confidence rises when they get a win, and their confidence encourages them to keep playing so they can win with a bigger value, but when they do that it is likely that they will lose so they become upset because the winnings that have been obtained are lost again. With greed that makes the victory disappear again and makes emotions that want to chase the loss. by chasing the loss instead of getting the victory they are after but losing a large amount of money they will feel because they want to chase the victory that has been lost.

Emotions when gambling will certainly determine the future, even people who have limits in gambling can become addicted because the defeats they get make them upset and want to chase the losses they have experienced. It is not wrong to chase the losses they have experienced, but it is unlikely that chasing losses will result in a big win. So at times like this they have lost self-control so that nothing can stop them from chasing losses.

Yes, it's true that there's nothing wrong with chasing losses and OP succeeded in getting them, but keep in mind that there is only a 1% chance of getting money back from previous losses, so don't think that OP succeeded, other people might also succeed, this is a ridiculous and risky method. Of course, people have to stop limiting themselves after experiencing defeat without having to chase defeat.

If you really don't want to lose money and lose, it's best not to gamble, just use the money for business, after all, why chase it if it's just for fun, gambling for entertainment doesn't mean you have to bet bigger, start with smaller bets so you can add longer duration. I think controlling yourself from emotions is important when gambling because gambling with emotions will not end well in the end.

This is the old me that will always have a running bet at all time. If I play early morning games, irrespective of win or loss, I'm playing the game after the bet is settled and the next after that, continuously until I loose everything. Yes until I loose everything before I will get myself. Even if I win and withdraw, I will immediately fund the account whenever I loose what I have in my gambling platform. So, the only thing that stops me is loosing everything and not having anything to fund the account at the moment. Gambling addiction can be a thorn in someone's flesh.


I have also made huge improvements in my gambling habits. I no longer feel this urge to play every now and then and I control my staking amount in such a way that it will not affect my finances that much. Lastly, I also play with realistic expectations, understanding that gambling is a game of probability.

Some gamblers think that luck doesn't always first but sometimes it comes later which gives them hope and continues to gamble. Luckily, OP had it 1% chance of getting back his losses but can't be sure that it will happen the next time. What if our luck never comes that day, pretty sure we end up empty and regrets which is why it is not advisable to do this unless you have millions and don't care about money.
Perhaps, it was very important to know our limitations, and if that 1% chance it right, then no way we could think about getting back our money.

They need to know that it might came late or come first so that they will be aware that nothing will came up base on their expectation since gambling result is random. That's why they need to figure out that bad luck is starting to happen so that they can decide to end up their games so no further huge damage will occur to them. Also same us when they are lucky they need to know on when to quit so that it can help them set up some threshold so they will not experience any chasing situation especially when they are starting to lose.

 Its just people need to set up some strategy regarding on their gambling habits so that they could have realistic approach towards certain situations they encounter and I'm sure thru years of experience they can develop their own and became a better gambler which mindset is not to chase anything impossible to think.

That's true mate, I won't lie, I have also tried this before, whenever I start inquiring loses, I do tend to try to win them back but that was before during my dark days in gambling and it took self discipline for me to actually stop this habit and whenever you are trying to win back your funds, every new you play will feel like a positive win till the game is actually decided and then you will know that your thoughts doesn't control the results of the game.

This is normal for many gamblers, not just you, because when we lose, we may want to recover the loss so that the lost money can be returned and we can win. But we also know that recovering losses is very difficult, especially since we are already in a losing position, so even if we continue gambling, it will still be difficult for us to recover losses. Apart from that, we also have the opportunity to experience loss again while we are still determining whether we can win or lose. We need self-discipline to stop this habit, but if we practice it regularly, we can stop it. In the end, we will no longer chase losses because we have experienced bigger losses before.

Awareness is the first thing that all gamblers should do, especially those who are new to gambling involvement, I hope they come to gambling with full consideration, especially in terms of the risks that can befall them suddenly, if they come with full awareness of the results of consideration then I think they will not forget the possibility of risk even though they are in a state of excitement. As we know that usually when our minds are excited because of an activity that is being done then it is quite difficult for us to make structured considerations, almost they will do things that seem to be more satisfying, such as maybe applying greed to get a much bigger win.

Of course because obviously if you can't allocate money that you can be responsible for the end result then I think you will have some problems, so you have to be able to really divide in terms of money, it's better to put a few percent on your gambling, it will be useful when it comes to preventing out of control actions when the final result is not what you expected. We have to be responsible gamblers, and one of the things that can support you is to put a small amount, because if you put a large amount I'm not sure you can accept the final result that turns out to be not as expected.

It’s really hard to recover losses if your main goal in gambling is just to have profit since the house edge will not permit you to win consistently against the house. Human error through emotion is one of the biggest enemy of players that’s why they keep losing. You can lose everything even if you are initially winning with just one moment that will make you tilted during the game.

I personally don’t view my gambling records nor compute my total lose/win since it will will just affect my mind to gamble more instead of just gambling just for fun during free time.

They can't stop us from winning occasionally, and if we're lucky, we might win. But that house edge is designed to give the casino an advantage in the long run. Plus, if we keep winning, they may impose betting limits, which will also reduce our potential winnings. However, when looking at long-term outcomes, the odds are not in our favor.


That's a good approach. There's no need to keep a close eye on your gambling records if you're just gambling for fun. It wouldn't be enjoyable if you realize you've been losing a lot of money from the beginning. However, gamblers who like to challenge themselves and make smart decisions need to maintain records. I'm talking about gamblers who play skill-based games, not games like roulette with a significant house edge.

Chasing losses isn't a good idea unless it's part of a specific strategy. If it's driven by frustration, it often leads to losing your entire bankroll.

Even the thought of trying to recover our losses should be eliminated from our minds as this could put us at risk of making a big mistake, whatever money we deposit at the casino must be assumed to be lost already, that way when it actually happens you will not suffer from the same shock that most gamblers suffer, and it will be way more easy to avoid entering a state of tilt, get mad about the results you are obtaining during this gambling session and then begin to chase your losses.

The funny thing about chasing of loses is that we don't actually know when it's start playing in our heads because we are not certain of what to do when the loses starts coming and the only possible solution that plays in our mind is the taught of how we can actually win back our money which is completely a fantasy of high probability because the more we try the more fucked up it gets only except luck decides to shine on us and we have that rare opportunity to actually achieve this chase and if successful one time , there is no certain guarantee it will work again

If you can treat it that way and yes it will be easy to accept the outcome, but not many have that kind of mindset most gamblers played the game in hope that they can quickly gain some money or if they are in the losing side, they just need to add or tap some more and retry to proceed and chase for the money to recover back. Never am easy  task though there's some who can be lucky to recover and quit but the majority are going to lose more.

"Stop limiting themselves after a loss" am I mistaken? I thought you said they should stop limiting themselves after a loss did you mean they should chase a loss? Maybe you mean "they should be able to limit themselves after a loss so that they don't chase losses" maybe this is what you mean.
As I said before, there is nothing wrong with chasing losses, but certainly in my opinion those who chase losses will certainly lose more money. Because it is unlikely to be able to turn things around, because it is not as easy as turning your palm.

Yes that's right, most people gamble they are not ready for the defeat they will get, so they have the ambition to chase losses, of course this is not a good way, if they are not ready to lose, they are better off using their money to do business like you said. even if it's just for fun, with a small bet that will make the duration longer it will not be much different in the end, you can be sure the same will eventually run out hahaha. So it's true that you said the importance of controlling emotions when gambling because so that they don't have thoughts of chasing losses because of course with greater risk and will result in addiction as well.

It is an eternal truth that if a person rushes to recover the loss then he will lose all his money but he will fail to recover the money. Occasionally I have seen a situation where a gambler has lost 100 times his winnings to recover a small amount. If any such interest arises in a gambler he is sure to lose money. There are many gamblers among us who start gambling at any time. When never having the desired bet, he loses money by entering into another bet. In my opinion the more patient the gambler is the more money he loses. A condition for winning in gambling can be patience.

Yes, most gamblers have tried to recover their losses, but they cannot get it easily at all because they have to use more money, which does not guarantee that they will be able to recover their losses. And it is indeed the house that will gain the biggest profits while we gamblers will only experience losses. And even though someone can win a lot, the casino will still take the biggest profits. We should be able to think that we don't need to gamble excessively because that means we have to be prepared if we have to lose even more money.

I don't have a gambling record but I can see the gambling history in my gambling account. If I feel like it's too much, maybe I'll stop gambling this week and not gamble for a few weeks to calm my emotions. That's better because I can divert my mind to other, more useful things.

Agreed. When you allow yourself as a gambler to be ruled by emotions, it most likely wouldn’t end well. When you use your heart instead of your head whenever playing , you’re bound to make mistakes. Mistakes that could cost you the game.
And your reactions after having lost out on the game matters a lot. You could get really upset at having lost and decide at all costs to win whatever fund you initially lost. When that happens, you’re on the wrong path and on the road to losing even more money.
Using your head, you’re bound to have more self control over your actions.

In fact gambler biggest win is when they can minimize losses by stopping when they start losing because if they continue there will only be losses until what they have is completely gone.
Maybe it will be difficult to stop and accept every defeat that occurs, but we will have even more difficulty if we chase bigger losses and lose even all the valuable things we have such as money or other assets.

Of course, stopping after losing is wise decision and you must do it in the next few days so that you can be calmer and not be emotionally influenced by chasing after the defeat.
Unfortunately, only few gamblers are able to do this because sometimes they are unable to accept the risk of losing.

That is why it is recommended to gamble when in calm atmosphere and with money that can afford to lose.

And that is an achievement that we must appreciate because we have really managed to control ourselves well. We have to keep doing it so that we are not tempted by greed to chase victory so that we will not experience many losses. For those who still can't control it, they still have a lot of time to train it because the more often they train it, the more their ability to control themselves will also increase, and that will have an impact on their self-control. He could get rid of all the temptations that came his way because, with his increasing self-control, he would not care about the whispers of greed telling him to keep playing. He can take care of himself very well and can even enjoy gambling as a pastime.

And if they lose, they can immediately stop and leave the casino because they know that will prevent them from being tempted by the offers they see even though the offer will always tempt them to try to take it. But they now have good self-control so they won't be tempted and can leave the casino carefree even if they experience those losses.

Most, if not always, allowing emotion to dominate while playing in any type of gambling more likely ends with a big risk, though there might be some who can break-even or win some after gaming but most of the time the outcome is not favoring the gambler side, to the point that they can lose a lot of money.

And adding to that, chasing losses are always the first thing when you have that aggression thinking that by adding more money you can have that chance to recover only to find out that you will just lose it all and then regret it after.

Of course and indeed basically whatever you do even outside of gambling if you rely on excessive emotions then obviously it will usually always end in downturns and regrets, I think this is very common for everyone to experience, so some people make this downturn a lesson so that something like that doesn't happen again in the future, And on the other hand there are still those who do not want or cannot accept the fact that gambling is nothing more than an entertainment activity, and maybe yes for some of them there are those who can break even by getting back what they have lost, but it is very clear on the other hand that this is still an activity that is not recommended, especially if you bring an improper mindset such as for example thinking that gambling is to make money.

On the other hand I am quite strange with their mindset that is always excessive, even though there is no guarantee for anyone to succeed in getting what they want, one that is not recommended is chasing losses, how can you be sure that you will be able to get a win? while on the other hand there is no guarantee whatsoever. And well that's gambling, I hope anyone including those who are new to gambling not to overdo it in gambling, because obviously it will only worsen their financial condition. So the point is better to prevent than cure, don't be too tempted by what you see as tempting, because it's nothing more than a temptation to make you worse.

Yes that's right, their victory is when they can limit the game without following their emotions which of course if they follow their emotions and passions it will only make them lose more money. It is difficult to accept defeat, but the fact is that it is what they have to accept, even though there is resentment that they feel it will not turn things around for the better. Moreover, if they play again with the aim of recovering losses by chasing it is wrong, because it is unlikely to be obtained.

By limiting the game when losing and stopping it is a wise choice so that they can rest their minds so that there is no addiction that has a bad impact on themselves. It is true that you said not everyone can do it, it can even be said that rarely people can control or limit themselves when playing, especially when experiencing defeat. The situation can also affect them when playing, so it is true that you said gambling in a calm time so that there is no greed or loss of self-control when playing.

I do gamble when I am bored, and I don't see anything wrong with it, I haven't experienced any challenges. I do prefer to gamble whenever I am bored. Gambling when you are bored is not bad, but the only mistake you made was trying to win back your loss. People have lost a lot of money in gambling just because they were trying to win back the amount they lost. If you are trying to make up for your loss, then you are likely going to lose more. Some people end up being addicted to gambling because they are trying to recover their losses.

It is not a given that those attempting to recover their losses would likewise be successful just because the OP pursued his loss and was able to do so with a small profit. Many people who attempt to recover their losses actually end up losing more money. Simply quit gambling and take a break if you are losing. You may try gambling again another day and eventually you will be able to win back your loss, so don't strive to get it back fast.

I agree, the frustration that causes you to keep chasing those losses will not end up with anything that is decent or long term, we should be considering that as something that is a little bigger and better if we want to. I hope that we could get to a point where it could be a lot better. I believe that we are at a point in our life when we can say that it is not going to end up being a little different, and for that to happen we need to realize that we can't change anything that quickly.

Hopefully, we could make it work, and if we can't then we are going to be basically losing even more while chasing the initial loss and that is what happens most of the time. People who chase their losses do not understand that it is not going to be easy to get that money back, and this is why they are going to keep losing money one way or another and should try to find a way to get over it and just go back to normal gambling without chasing anything that they lost.

That's becaause gambling is designed just for fun activities only, I think that's a strong reason why someone always fails to chase their losses, of course it doesn't make sense, I honestly don't understand why they have that mindset. Basically there is no guarantee whatsoever to be able to win in gambling, because every session will run randomly about who will win and who will lose, we will never be able to find out and also there is absolutely no reason for us to continue to chase victory there because there is no certainty for any outcome. Of course the best thing is to consider whether this activity has a good or bad impact on your life, only those who feel it themselves about it and I think wiith that you will also be able to know what the best thing is to do.

On the other hand, it is quite difficult to tell those who are addicted to gambling, their mindset is almost entirely dominated by lust and gambling temptation, so it is quite difficult for them to think clearly to get better judgment according to what should be done and indeed the best thing to do. It is quite difficult to get out of the addiction cycle, so I think they will be able to stop or realize when they already feel something that can really make them worse.

Controlling emotion is really big part of gambling since it’s the most common enemy of gambler aside from house edge. It’s very hard to control it if you are just an occasional gambler because you are still not immune whenever you encounter a consecutive bad losses.

Most of the time, it always ended to lose since you will bet higher amount more than your usual wager just recover quickly while your bankroll will be short since your bet will be higher than usual. This is the part people will surely loss when they failed to made another  bet since their remaining bankroll is already not enough to make another bet.


Correct. Your bankroll will be shorter that’s why you can easily lose everything if you still bad luck on the next bets when chasing lose.

Another factor which gamblers tends to ignore somehow is that they forget that what is the probability that when they chase the loss, they will succeed in it and will not lose more money. If there is a guarantee that you will be able to recover the loss, by playing more with the intent to chase the loss, then I would tell everyone to always chase the loss, but the reality is otherwise. There is no guarantee of winning with the intent to chase the loss.

The best thing for the gambler is to analyse the risk of loss even before playing and in case he has not done any homework, then accept the loss and do not run to convert the loss into profit. 99% of the time, he will lose more money.

Some persons may not really see anything wrong in chasing their losses but then one thing is sure, it's very possible that you loose more trying to recover from previous losses, there's only a little chance you recover from such when you chase losses because of emotions.

Whenever you are bent on recovering your losses most of the time you most likely get emotional because you just want to recover and your decision at they point may not be rally rational enough, they are just random and you make wrong picks thereby reducing your chances of further wins. So it's usually advised you stop playing whenever you feel that urge to chase your losses and play some other time when you are in the right frame of mind.

No, patience won't make you win but it will just save you from excessive losses. So, you can say that a condition for losing less in gambling is patience because those who are impatient and have no self-control tend to have a hard time accepting their losses which is why they spend more money trying to recover their losses which makes them lose even more money, but if they stay patient and accept the small losses and move on, they wouldn't have to lose more money.

Responsible gamblers stop gambling when they see they are losing constantly, and that saves them from excessive losses, whereas irresponsible and reckless gamblers gamble even more when they are losing hoping to recover the losses and eventually lose all their bankroll because they are out of luck at that particular time but they don't understand that on time.

It's very hard as from time to time there are changes with your adrenaline and you keep pushing and trying to win more which being produce by your emotions, without a good control on it, the chance of losing more would be be the outome of your session, better to pause for a while and stop your gambling session, assess yourself instead of keep trying to win back.


With aggression inside you, thinking that betting big amount will quickly bring your loses back but that's not how gambling works, without luck, it will be an easy burning of your additional bankoll.

Yas is right, because with the loss of self-control so that it makes uncontrolled emotions it will make everything chaotic where what was previously playing casually became chaotic because of uncontrolled emotions. Of course this will be dangerous for us when gambling, it is likely that we will quickly spend the balance with mistakes made and will make us lose when playing, even though playing with good self-control it also does not rule out the possibility of losing hahaha, it's just that with self-control and controlling emotions it can make our balance a little monitored, but if with excessive emotion we may not care about the existing balance and only focus on the rounds.

It is certain that if gambling with emotions and when losing it will make you upset and want to catch up on the losses that have been lost, but if you play with good self-control, can regulate emotions, can limit it will not make us upset when we lose. So you can be sure that anything that is done with emotion will become a mess.

Taking a break and stopping the gambling session is what he should do immediately before all his money is wasted on gambling, and he will regret seeing it. However, it is difficult to stop immediately after experiencing a losing streak, and it takes time to master self-control. But if he is willing to learn it and practice it, he can stop gambling immediately and even leave gambling immediately after he experiences a loss or win. He will feel he is better off stopping for a moment and leaving gambling than he will repeat the same mistakes he has experienced before. That's where he can learn from his experience and will not repeat it because it really makes him experience even more losses.

Yeah if the person still in his good mindset that should be the reaction knowing how dangerous it can be if he will try to push forward, he will just repeat the same mistake if he will not stop, after all he already knew how it feels when you do regret to waste your money into something that not really allocated for, gambling as part of entertainment is okay but if you made a mistake and waste more money better to stop and not to continue as chasing your previous loses will simply add more to what you need to recover.

Well that's the problem, it seems very appropriate to say "it's easier to say than to do" that's the right statement for those who only say they want to quit but not by taking any action, it seems that the reason they say that is because they have lost a significant amount for them so they get upset and say things like that, not at all a promise and it's just nonsense, and also none other than because I have friends like that.

Basically, it's hard to quit if their little heart still wants to gamble like you said and I agree with your assumption. I think they only have a chance to stop if they experience things that can make them really bad, such as losing a very large amount or in terms of their family falling apart due to economic factors that are destroyed due to gambling, in conditions like that, usually they in my opinion will really be able to think to be more aware or at least reduce their gambling activities. Of course, after all gambling is only an activity for entertainment, always nothing more than that, and as a result for people who carry the wrong mindset, it is clear that they will suffer a lot of adversity there. So the point is please be more rational in looking at things so that you don't fall into the trap.

He should be able to learn not to repeat the mistakes of his past so that he can also mature his mind and be better at gambling. We can all prevent ourselves from using a lot of money, but the problem is that greed continuously drives us to try to chase the win, even though it is very difficult. It is only by practicing self-control that we can prevent greed from coming so that we can maintain good control over ourselves and not continue gambling if we have had enough of gambling. You must be able to determine when you stop gambling, especially if you have experienced a losing streak, because that will make your emotions rise. Everything will be interrelated, and only we can prevent everything from escalating because we are the ones who control ourselves.

That's probably the worst scenario a gambler would experience, it's not necessary to reach at that level as that's learning a lesson a hard way.

Chasing our losses is already an evidence that you are an irresponsible gambler, and if you can't change your attitude towards gambling, your journey will end sooner than you think. some people thought gambling is fun, but the moment they'll start chasing, they'll experience the biggest heart break in their life as it's not only about money but that kind of expereince will hunt them longer.


If that's what you think that it's only for entertainment then you're safe because no one would chase his losses if we he just having fun and understand that losing is also a big part of gambling.

Once a gambler gets more ambitous and believe they can be successful in winning big money, that's when the struggle starts.

So many people are fond of gambling dangerously in their quest to reclaim already lost money in gambling and that I think is a result of lack of self control as well as inability to manage their emotions whenever they're losing.
For one to gamble on the first place, he must accept that there is every possiblity of either winning or losing and should be able to handle the emotional feelings that comes with both in other not to become a gambling addict. It's not wise gambling more and more when one is losing because at that moment, the person will not be strategic enough to know when to gamble how to gamble rather will be reckless with his gambling decisions because if his desire to reclaim his lost money

  The danger of gambling impulsively is that you can barely control your emotions, gambling for money is not in anyways shape or form positive for your life. Winning is a curse! gambling addiction is a recipe and can happen to anyone from any walks in life. If your first interaction with a casino is thrilling and you win big and have a positive experience, this is your first ingredients for a gambling addiction. you leave the casino and you can't stop thinking about how it made you feel, how eazy the money came to you and you start to wonder if you could repeat the same experience.
   Chasing your losses. This is when you set a budget and you find yourself going to the bank machine to get more money to gamble back the money you have just lost. The numbness of withdrawing money and the internal conversation with your self saying “it's just money” with a desensitized feeling towards the dollar value without care for what that money is intended for (rent, food, kids, bills). The longer you play any game the more in favor it is for the house. variance allows players to win, but the casinos rely on mathematics to turn a profit, and the longer you gamble the maths and odds for the house will ensure they will always win. Even if you get lucky and win some money the chances of you staying and playing will be worse off for you.

They will indeed find it difficult to recover the money they lost because gambling will not easily return the money they have lost at the gambling table. If they really want to recover their losses, they will have to gamble again until they can get a big win, which is not easy either. They will only experience bigger and bigger losses, and their emotions will increase due to frustration with their more and more losses.

Those who gamble must be able to accept all the results they will get, whether winning or losing because that is the result of gambling, where they may experience more losses than wins. If they decide to recover their losses, they have to bear the risk of losing again and must also be prepared if they have to lose all their money at the gambling table. We do not need to recover losses because we know the consequences. It's better for us to gamble in moderation and not risk losing even more money.

There are three things that gamblers do and if they don't do them, they can enjoy their gambling experiences all the time. The first thing is that when they win, they start thinking that they can do it again, which isn't true because it's not in anyone's hands to win, and there are more chances for one to lose than win. The second thing is that they chase their losses. When you've lost some money in gambling, you should forget that money and move on, and if you are unable to do that, you should be ready to lose more money.

The third and the most common thing that gamblers do which they shouldn't is gambling more even after having won something already and being ahead of the house. Don't think that if you've won $100, you can $100 more with the $100 you've won, that doesn't happen and the house will take the first $100 that you've won.

Another big problem for those that are chasing their losses is that the expectations they have from gambling are out of place, they believe that since they watched a few influencers making some money that they already know everything there is to know about gambling and they can begin to use casinos as their personal ATMs, a completely ridiculous notion, as if that was possible then casinos as a business will disappear as no business can sustain those losses for long.

Chasing of losses has been a major problem I think gamblers are facing because most of the addiction came as a result of chasing of losses to recover all they have lost, but in the process of doing so, they keep losing more and more as they continue to chase their losses.  Watching influencers play, gamble, and win is not the major point, though, because that is not convincing for one to rush to start gambling because they saw an advertisement of an influencer playing and winning. I see that as not convincing because it is a fake advertisement, so in that case, it might be a fake win to entice gamblers to playing with them and when they do, they start to tell stories and lots more.

Every gamblers expect something immediately after they played their coupon and the moment their experience loss in their course of gambling the whole mentality changes and instead of coming to win money, you then tend to play to try and recover the one you have lost which is absolutely madness. I even asked a friend about the syndrome of chasing your loses and he replied simply that not all humans are the same.

Yes of course if someone has entered the phase of a scenario like this honestly I'm not sure they will be able to survive in such a condition. Well that's right, it's actually quite easy for us to find out whether the person is addicted or not, we can see from the way he gambles and from his expression when he loses, because of course as you said that if he brings a way of always chasing defeat then it is clear to conclude that he came to make money and also by putting a lot of hope in victory which is basically always not in their favor. So with that alone it can actually be known whether the person is addicted or not. That's why I always recommend, especially to the people closest to you, that you gamble properly, don't put any expectations because indirectly it's like you're creating your own opportunities for greater disappointment because the final result is always unpredictable and usually worse than you thought.


It's true, there is absolutely no prohibition for anyone to gamble but on condition that they must already understand about everything that might happen there, especially the risk of losing which is very likely, if you are gambling just for fun, it doesn't matter and even so in my opinion you still have to set up some limits because gambling is always prone to overdoing it and therefore at least you have to set up some limits as one of the precautions so that you don't overdo it, In the event that you're not sure what you're getting yourself into, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the best ways to make sure that you're getting your money's worth, and that you're getting your money's worth.

We know that it is dangerous when we chase the loser in gambling, we will only be in more trouble then. We shouldn't force something that the opportunity doesn't align with what we want, maybe that's just how easy it is to understand.

in this situation, we should stop and rest for a while, there is nothing wrong or wrong if we do that, and at least here we can measure our responsibility as a gambler.

Exactly, but so many people fail to understand the simple logic while some who understand it fails to apply it whenever they're losing. It's a very difficult task to reclaim losses immediately it is lost in gambling so it's best to excuse yourself from it when you realize that you're losing, re-strategize and come back when you are mentally okay again to gamble.

Yes, I agree with what you said. Chasing losses is a big problem for them, because if they play with such principles or goals, there is little chance that the victory will be obtained to restore the losses they are chasing. Moreover, if they chase losses, it is not the victory that will be obtained but most likely the defeat that they will get, so they spend more money to chase the loss.

Apart from that, if they run out of capital they can just borrow here and there or online loans, which of course this will make things worse, and their lives will become unsettled because they are in debt here and there with a large amount. and not a few people have done this, those who have been deceived by advertisements that promise big wins do not realize because there are no bookies who will lose in gambling, if there is maybe the player is lucky sedan not good at gambling. So it's true what you said about the victories that only aim to attract players to go deeper into gambling until addiction occurs. 

Chasing loses can be detrimental to ones gambling lifestyle and should be properly  put under a check. As a responsible gambler, you should know when to call it a day, take a bow and leave the casino rather than chasing shadows of losses incurred as a result of not being principled enough to follow their own instructions for which they set up for themselves. Leaving a casino when you are done saves you the stress of looking for where to borrow in other to chase losses. It is best to do so because loans can put very detrimental to playing gamble because if you are not careful, you will lose out making you indebted.

To be honest, I'm a little confused about the parameters of the problem of addiction and chasing losses. I really understand what you said. However, it does not have to be specific that someone who is carried away by his emotions is driven to chase previous losses in his gambling session to be claimed as an addict. Actually, for me this is not a problem for everyone, I mean globally. however, it is a problem for us individually.
But once again, I really understand what you are saying. and I agree with that, it's just that we have a slight difference in point of view. Usually, addicts don't focus on how they chase losses. however, more precisely how they can gamble even as far as they are able to play. regarding winning or losing, is another matter.  We could say that initially they were chasing losses which ended in addiction. unfortunately, not everything has to be like that.

As for influencers, we can discuss it from a different angle. but as you said, most influencers are more concerned with promoting by the way they play. Yes, that's what you mean. and I think it's actually simple, if we are not entertained by influencer or streamer broadcasts, just ignore them. that's better than us bothering to discuss them.

Truly, gamblers to some point after being addicted through chasing of loses begins to see their addiction as a normal and regular activity which does not get them bothered because already they are used to it and it is already their way of lifestyle but I think that does not stop categorising them to be free of addiction but the only difference is that their perspective of chasing loses after games is either not that way they used to be or they just see it as a regular occurrence or incidence and are not bothered anymore about it.

Influencers are promoters who are just after their pockets and do not even get to see the thin line of what they are promoting. All they are after is to trick their followers or fan base into a product they do not care about the outcome of it. Sometimes they do fake advertising leading their fan base astray and this has resulted to many losses without any remedy.

On the time that you do find yourself that impulsive then you would really be likely on losing up  control and if you do have the funds on still available then you would really be spending all of those balances without a doubt and would be making out that kind of regret thinking when its over.  :P Chasing losses is never been good because you are on the verge of desperation on this kind of moment on which the only thing that you do have in mind is on how you would really be able to make yourself that able to recover those losses on which it would really be that so normal that you would be
having those kind of thinking on playing further just to make that kind of recovery on which it is really that something that you must really be that stopping to make things not
worst or else then you would suffer even more losses if you dont stop.

Yes mate sometimes it happens that way but it takes self-restraint and discipline for one to control themselves while gambling. Most times, chasing of loses is not only prevalent on newbies but also on old gamblers as well. You know when you have that expectations of something and you end up seeing another thing, that makes you curious as to why such had happened and as such would want to see for yourself to get that back or know why it happened. That is what happens to a gambler who keeps making loses back to back

And what causes gamblers chasing loses most times is  when a gambler gambles more than they can always afford to lose, and in such case, the only option such gambler has is to double his betting stake, while hoping to win and recover all lost funds plus an extra, just as O.P did, by winning an extra, which is a rare occasion, as most times, if you are not lucky enough, you could also end up losing your entire funds, and gamble only responsibly at all times no matter whatever the scenario be, while having how much is he/she willing to risk at all times.

Something of this nature is something that make people to be addicted in gambling whenever you are chasing lose and it's when you have more loses and when you continue to get more lose in gambling you will be desperate in recovering what you have lose, so therefore if you are chasing a lose that means you are liable to lose more, so I will advice any gamblers to ensure that whenever you lose do not chase it because it will lead you into addictive, and in gambling we have to be careful of gambling and how much you spend in gambling, because tye more you lose in gambling the more you spend more funds

On the time that you are addicted to gambling then chasing up losses would really be something a behavior that you could really be having which there's no doubt with that.You would really be ending up on becoming impulsive on which on the time that you do see that you are really that losing that much.It would really be just that so normal that you would really be that normal that you would be having those kind of thoughts or intents on mind that you would really be having that kind of possible recovery with those losses on which this is something that you would really be having in priority.If you are that someone who cant really be able to have such control over with this kind of situation then it is really that indeed safe to say that you are really that addicted to gambling.

You would really be finding yourself would be having a hard time on getting out as long you do have that kind of intent in mind. You would really be only realizing when the damage has been
done and its just really that normal that you would really be making out those realizations in the end on which it would be always something like this on which regret do always come at the end.

If only some gamblers would understand how unhelpful that can be, in most cases they end up in more losses than they have before the chase after losses but because they feel recovery is always a step ahead they don't stop until their wallets are empty before they stop.

It's important that people begin to understand how unhealthy chasing losses can be , some persons may be lucky to recover their losses when they actually chase after it but the truth remains that most often they loose even more so definitely it's not a healthy thing to do, I'd you had a particular budget before visiting the casino, always make sure to stick to it, if you exhausted your budget without a win yet it's very much advisable you leave and don't hope to further recover comeback the next day u may be lucky.

This was the hidden mistake done by the most of the gamblers in the gambling,the reason was the gambler can’t accept the loss in the game with the real money.The second reason was the money used by the gambler may be the essential money for the gambler. In the real world.So to multiple the dollars using the gambling,the gambler may used this option for the gambling.So he had no other option to get back the dollars from the gambling sites.This was the one of the possible reason to get back from the gambling,but they forgot the fact,the gambling will allow you to win dollars based on the luck in the gambling.So targeting the losses will not work in the gambling.

Losing and continual in gambling will eventually liquidate one's account. I've come across worst incidents that have happened to my colleagues which I've leant my lessons. Losses and profits are both obtainable by gamblers but they acts to be different when they're in the measurable steps of striving for the results they aimed. Steady wagering on games when recording heavy losses is one of the worst incidents that would happen to anyone in the system. Surviving this area tends to be really difficult, there are obstacles to crossed but with pressing efforts, everything will become more smoother.

Influencers are among the reasons why some people are finding it very difficult to stop gambling, since those influencers are always posting their wins on their social media, so it always serves as motivation to their fans, so they are always having the mindset that they are also going to win big if they don’t give up. Most of those influencers have things that they are doing where they are making money apart from gambling, but some of their followers take gambling as their only source of income. They are always desperate to win money because they need to win for survival.


Some gamblers constantly feel awful about themselves once they lose, and they will do everything possible to win back their losses. Addiction always set in when they try to win back what they have lost. They think that if they can stop gambling, all of the money they have lost will already be gone, therefore they will seek to recover their losses. They won’t have the intention of quitting gambling, and they'll always want to bet more money in the hopes of making up for all the losses.

Having a budget could help cushion this effect.  Here gamblers who are always after  their losses can be able to Play by their budget plan accordingly.  This would help them reduce  the rate at which they gamble because this would make them develop self-restraint. As a gambler, self restraint is of good importance because it guides you to being cautious of your gambling lifestyle and makes you play responsibly and for fun. Addiction can be a thing of the past if one who is addicted decides to take it upon himself to play by budget plans and steaks to it.

Gambler lose more in chasing loses because they tend to stay on the same game.  Like in slots, the longer we stay on this game, the more frequent dead spin occurs.  So if chasing losses is triggered, the player tend to ignore that kind of observation and keep on gambling until they ran out of money.

The danger of chasing losses is the trigger factor where a gambler don't mind anything but to get a huge win and eventually recover his losses which often times don't happen.

Yeah right, once you already been triggered by aggression you will keep trying and hoping that a big win will happen and you'll be able to recover,  Yolo is most of the time the final push, you win be happy, you lose, regret is on his way to chase on you. Better to play with the desire of being entertained and not to exceed from it. Winning or earning should be a bonus and not really the focus of your game.

You're safe if you are playing for enjoyment and with strong money management,  other than that there's always a big risk to become aggressive.

If you go through the entire explanation, you will understand the meticulous nature of the details pointing out to you not having a budget. It was a very risky gamble, it might have caused you a almost 6 months and one week of your signature pay.
If you calculate it this way, you'll understand the reason why people budget their gambling funds else you'll have setback not anticipated

Not just unhealthy but will give you more frustration on top of the actual losses you've already incurred. Most of us just want to recover our losses and that's what we're doing when the time is on us that we're about to decide whether to continue and try to recover our losses.

It's not ending up good for the majority of us and anyone can speak for their own experience. Yes, some may be lucky to recover their losses but it's not like a daily scenario for all.

This is so much better, take the day off and come back in some other days.

that's why we have to be smarter in assessing things, advertisements definitely promote what they advertise with the promise of big profits, of course to attract the interest of users, which in reality the advertisement does not match the facts.

Chasing losses will only make us increasingly out of control and will most likely become addicts. If we have experienced this it will be difficult for us to stop because all we have in mind is the ambition to win at gambling, therefore according to the title of this thread "chasing losses it's a dangerous thing"

Well, that's how gambling works and that is why their online gambling business won't lose, no bankruptcy will happen unless they are hacked or a robbery will happen due to an inside job.
Gamblers will keep on playing because they want their money back. Most of the gamblers cling to the belief that somehow the gambling site will return their losses due to RTP or the provably fair rule. But that's not the whole truth. It's a false hope that they input and yet many still believe in it. I do. ;D
It's crazy how we know the truth that we cannot win against the house and we will keep on chasing the invisible multi wins and yet here we are still playing, still losing and the returns are so rare that it's almost an impossible feat.
Despite that, many people are still willing to risk their money for a chance of a little glory and I think this cannot be stopped, actually it will become contagious and more gambling sites will open.

Without chasing losses, gamblers will also lose more often because this is gambling where there is no certainty that can give you guarantee of winning, even when you change games you can't ansure win.
Of course, very few gamblers can accept defeat and all this is because gamblers have the wrong goal when they enter into gambling, firstly they think of making money and secondly they always want to get win that is always bigger than before.
And as much as possible use money that is truly acceptable when you lose, I said this very often.

I consider chasing losses to be the first step towards ruin because to chase losses every gambler will definitely deposit or use more money, whereas once they start betting the losses will never stop.
This kind of behavior must be thrown away from gamblers if they want to be able to enjoy the true happiness of gambling.

Agree with you, we have to be smart in choosing and understanding what the aims and objectives of advertising are so that we don't easily believe and don't easily take promotions that have been advertised, because in fact most of the promotions that are advertised do not match the facts stated or promised.
It is true that by chasing victory or chasing defeat in gambling, a person will not be able to control his gambling because he really wants his hopes and desires to be fulfilled, if they are not fulfilled then he will become more brutal in gambling, even to the point of being said to be an addict, so what is true? what you said. If you have become an addict, it is very difficult to stop this behavior and can even last for quite a long time.

There's no joy in chasing losses; it just reflects our inability to accept defeat and the desire to always come out on top. This approach doesn't involve logical thinking; it's solely based on emotional decisions, and I'd argue it's a flawed strategy unless you have an infinite amount of money.

Once you start chasing losses, your patience begins to wane, and patience is a crucial trait for maintaining discipline and safety in gambling.

You're quite right; gambling is a game of chance with little chance of success. Although it's a bitter pill to swallow, this is the reality. Gamblers frequently enter with the incorrect mindset, believing they will win huge amounts of money and constantly seeking for greater wins. They get caught in the trap there. It's more about the excitement and entertainment than it is about making money. Indeed, you ought to spend funds that you are willing to risk. I will repeat what I say all the time: spend money that won't cause you to lose sleep if it disappears

The actual issue arises when one chases losses. It's an endless cycle. You lose, you increase your bets in an attempt to win back, and you almost always lose more. It leads directly to disaster. If gamblers hope to derive any pleasure from the game, they must abandon this behaviour. It's all about self-control, establishing boundaries, and honouring them. You shouldn't be gambling if you are unable to accomplish it.

Not only lifestyle but it will also harm their basic needs which they definitely need every day, because those who only think about chasing losses will certainly forget a lot of things just to chase losses that they think it can return even more than the money they have lost in gambling.

And chasing losses will definitely lose many other things such as, time, awareness, money that is certain and themselves as well who will certainly feel the loss of what they are working on, but the problem is they don't realize that by chasing the losses they mean, in my opinion it will only make them lose more money, and will also have a dangerous impact on other things. because chasing losses will involve many of the most important things. Because chasing losses will involve many things, most importantly money. But there are still many other things that will be affected by those who chase the loss.

That's right, I will also say the same thing as you said, there is absolutely no pleasure felt by the gambler when he chases defeat and what happens and what he feels on the contrary is that he chases defeat with full pressure in his mind, he always thinks how to make the defeat in the previous time can be replaced by victory and with that he must get a victory in the new gambling session. And also yes on the other hand honestly I would not say that they are responsible gamblers, because obviously with his behavior chasing defeat as you said it is enough to reflect that he cannot accept defeat in the previous time.

True, there was no logical thinking when he did and decided to chase defeat and certainly the decision came out of no consideration and was only based on emotions and lust. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's not, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

Just don't chase what you have lost. It's lost, gone, forget it. When you start to chase loses, that's the moment where your addiction starts kicking. There was a thread created in gambling discussion board with the following title: Do You Believe That Reading People's Bad Experience Will Help You (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5473080.0). I am glad you posted image which I am not quoting right now but hope this post of yours will help others to keep in mind your experience and don't chase loses. Gambling is for fun, for making your life better, to enjoy it and not to make you poor out in the street.

This is not arguable. When entangled in such situations, there is every possibility of what you have said to be the reality because they would begin to spend much time at the casino wanting to recover all they have lost and in that case they would forget about every other engagements and activities which requires them their audience for those gamblers who can not exercise self-restraint and discipline. This makes the loose focus and start spending much time at casinos which in the real sense they would be it have done. This sometimes results to family negligence and they start having issues with their families as a result of their addiction to gambling which is very bad .

The mind of a gambler chasing losses is somewhat mad. This cycle is emotional rather than logical, with victory becoming an obsession. In this situation, the gambler wants redemption, a dangerous path where want over reason.

This obsession frequently covers a deeper issue - the unwillingness to accept defeat - which might be a sign of a greater struggle with acceptance and control in life. Gambling becomes a frantic attempt to validate and reverse fortunes.

The actual gambler's paradox is the perception of control in an uncontrollable circumstance, not gambling. The mental gymnastics of strategizing victory from a random event is fascinating. It causes issues: Can control be attained in a world governed by randomness? Or is this just a comforting illusion to justify continued indulgence? Thus, the gambler's dilemma is about control and the pursuit of victory, not just winning or losing.

When a gambler experiences loss, especially if it is a losing streak, they will be emotionally triggered so this will make them try to recover from their losses. They can easily deposit another amount of money into their gambling account to continue gambling even though that will not guarantee they can win. They know this but still do it by trying to gamble more than before so that slowly, the money they deposit will start to decrease and will eventually run out without them realizing it.

Many can't stop after experiencing another loss as a result of continuing to gamble, but that doesn't stop them from immediately quitting gambling. They still choose to deposit more money and some gamblers will increase the bet amount because, according to them, it will be a big win if they win. But again, they lost and the money ran out.

Obviously, what we see as advert by influencers are not what they are in the reality. They are sometimes the opposite of what we think they are after going through the process and having the experience. Most times these influencers are just after their pockets and nothing much even the adverts they do on social media through their handles are fake sometimes. All these are just to get t their fan base and followership while marketing their affiliate products. And their fans who got no idea of the gimmicks just rush in and begin to d OP things and get carried away without verification and confirmation. Some of them ends up losing funds while some at the end become addicted to it whatever the case maybe. Addiction is not intentional but conventional.

Trust me no one chases after lost that wouldn't grabs the air, we are gambling not because we cannot afford to loose the money used in gambling, we are doing so because we see ourselves in that position capable enough to afford the use of money in gambling which we can afford to loose, most of the people who do this were probably regretting for their loss because of the conditions behind the money used for the bet or some other reasons beyond public explanation and they wanted to recover.

Yes, it's almost the same as what OP did, but as we can see that OP managed to recover his losses and it must be remembered that OP's success was only a small part, not everyone can do that and be lucky to recover their losses, it is very risky to do what he did. OP did, he talked about his success but it would be a different story if he talked about his failure, it would be an important lesson for the OP too and his fellow gamblers on this forum.

I'm sure everyone must have heard OP's story thinking that it could be done successfully but it's clearly very wrong and there's a high risk of increasing the bet amount just to return the loss, that's clearly not justified, I also always remind myself when playing has reached the budget and lost, I I will leave the game without having to catch up on the losses I experienced because I gamble not prioritizing money but pleasure.

The reason why a person loses more while chasing losses isn't that they stay in the same game, but the main reason for it is that the gambler starts increasing the bet amount almost by 2x after every loss, we call it the martingale strategy, and a healthy loss streak with this strategy will take only a short while to empty the bankroll of the gambler because the bet amount is doubling after each loss and that when continued for more than 10 bets will reach a pretty high amount.

So, the danger of chasing losses is in doubling the base bet which is a recipe for disaster a lot of gamblers don't understand because they might have done it successfully once or maybe twice but they haven't yet experienced a deadly loss streak that sometimes can even go above 20 consecutive losing bets which is disastrous.

Not everyone can duplicate what the outcome did OP experienced, and it's safe to say that most of the time, the outcome turned to the other side,  instead of recovering and enjoying with small winnings,  the gambler who chased their loses add the money they replenished to another amount that they've loss.

It's going to be that way since when you are trying to recover, there's already aggression that you feel inside you.  Which can lead you to bet big to recover quickly, but most likely you will lose again.

The gambler use the full money many times in the same game after the big loss in the gambling.If the gambler had loss the game in the gambling site,he should try the other game on their next bet.The gambler should do the other game and find the best game which is used by them to make the biggest win using the gambling sites.Some gambler still try the same game many time till he chase the full money loss in that game.But we can’t manage to regain the loss from the same game.Only few people achieve the loss management using the same game,which he had loss the more dollars in the recent past of the gambling site.

Aggression would really be there and it would really be just that so normal that on the time that you would really be losing up your money or entire bankroll on a particular session then this is where
these emotions would come out on which it would really be that normally be giving out that kind of idea that it isnt really that too far off on trying out to break even those losses on which means
that chances that you would really be making out such deposit would really be likely and it would continue until you have lose on everything on that particular session. People wont stop
not unless if  they do have that nothing left into their pocket or account. As long they do know or have in mind that they could still be able to play since they do still have
balance then they would really be doing it no matter what.

I would say anyone who has regrets after gambling and losing, then gamble some more in hopes of winning some money to take back home with after draining the money available with you at the moment, are people who use money saved up and budgeted for something else.
There is no regret if you are fully aware of the risks involved and money used whenever gambling is money that has been set aside for that particular purpose.

You can't be so sure about that. I've seen several gamblers who just had an automatic regrets when they have this hesitation on how they are going to place their bets. Of course when the outcome didn't come their way or the winning bet was their original plan or it was the 2nd option, then regrets are inevitable in such case.
I personally experienced it a lot of times before. Though I am totally aware of the risks involve, but sometimes we just hope to win some not the other way around.

Yes, because influencers are paid by a company so they will happily work to earn money even if their work is untrue or fraudulent. And this is what happens if the influencer is someone who is already known to the public, so that the public will be interested in the advertisement, so that we as ordinary people of course must always be careful, so as not to get trapped. in advertising it is not necessarily certain or true. By remaining alert and understanding every intent and advertisement, even though it is a bit difficult to try, I think it is the right step.

Regretna is the facility that we will get from gambling, whether it's because of the wrong intention at the beginning of gambling, or choosing the wrong decision and or other things that make you regret, sometimes when you use small bet then you get a victory, for myself me Feeling sorry why not using a bigger bet to get a bigger win before, including doubt before making a decision.

But indeed my biggest regret during gambling is because of the chase of defeat, as if I wanted to get back the money I had previously spent, and made me impulsive in gambling.

Lolz, chasing lose has not been favourable to gamblers and finally result is always a bitter. You would have stopped at the first loss but you believed that you would win you first loss and you loss out till 3x. It is a lesson to you now. And one thing I see from the Op narrative is greedy. Why I am saying in the sense that when he as loss the first game, he would have reduced the amount but instead he increase it to recover the first loss and the same thing repeat itself again in the third game again. And that becomes an addictional mindset.

To decline from gambling is from the mind and if you can control it then it is settled. Lolz. I stopped gambling last month when I lost $50 to casino here and I will continue when the mind is settled and prepare to play again.

Yes, he was lucky to recover his losses but if he looks at his gambling records, he may still have losses but he should not try to recover his other losses because it will not be easy. The risk will certainly be greater than they imagine so the possibility of experiencing loss will be there. If they can really avoid it, they will not experience a bigger loss. Very few people can actually recover their losses because this is gambling, where we will find it difficult to recover the losses.

If they have experienced a loss and want to recover their losses, they must remember that there is a possibility of experiencing another loss and never increase the value of the bet because it can cause large losses in one round. They should keep using the same betting value for some time and immediately stop gambling if the result continues to be the same loss.

      -   That's the only advantage with well-known influencers who have a large number of followers, because even if only 1/4 of his followers join him in his promoted gambling casino, apart from this paid-for advertisement, it has an additional bonus commission. get from his followers to sign up and also enter money in the casino platform that he campaigned on.

So often, the unfortunate ones in the end are those of us who are unpopular on social media platforms. So, you are right that the only solution is to be careful so that we are not fooled by other lying social media influencers.

Such a series of losses must be very bad for you. Many people cannot accept consistent losses like you have given. But you should be glad that you didn't bet too much money because of which you lost a small amount of money on each bet. As you mentioned at the beginning you are not a professional gambler or a gambler with a lot of experience, maybe you have such a series of losses from the early part of gambling. I think you should learn from the series of losses you've had towards the end. You should get an idea of what caused the loss and where you should have adopted a different strategy from the previous loss. If you can find and work on the causes of the previous losses, then you will not face such a series of losses later on.

That's right, the advantage for influencers is to make a lot of money by lying to the public, by promoting casino advertisements so that people are interested in following the advertisements, yes, this has happened a lot and many people have even participated. advertised promotion, I don't know what happened. In the minds of the people at that time, maybe they thought that if they participated in casino promotions then their lives would be as lucky as the lives of influencers, but in reality NO, because it was just a hoax or deception. .

And if people have already followed the promotion, it would be better to immediately abandon it or stop it, because there is no point in wasting time and money that we are not sure we will get.

Yes, it is a fact, only many people misinterpret it so that they make gambling their main income and become crazy about gambling. It is a fact that offline or online casinos are created to make money for the company not to distribute money to everyone who gambles, but there are also some who are profitable and successful from gambling that too with luck on their side not with tricks or patterns.

They make advertisements on the internet only for the needs of their casino network so that more people know and play in their casinos or in online gambling. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this, but what is wrong is that there are people who play in casinos who do not have self-control so that they become addicted. If they can control themselves while playing, maybe it will minimize the harmful effects of gambling.

Chasing losses in Gambler is very dangerous if you are not in economical sense recover losses. The addiction of recover losses you don't noticed how much capital you have risk to recover the loss. That remain reason chasing losses is dangerous because if you set to recover loss and say that how much capital I have to put in it to recover my loss that mean you are foolish person. Because over gambling makes addiction because of addiction you gamble over and over gambling causes losses. That's why if you face loss stop gambling for the time start after taking some rest it will be more effective and helpful for recover your losses.

Chasing loses in gambling is the worst form of it's addiction, because the gambler will be desperate to get back to winnings to recover loses, if that doesn't happen depression can set in big time. This is when the person becomes a degenerate gambler, which is the worst form of addiction. Anybody that is engaging in gambling must try to avoid this harmful habit, because at the end if the day, the gambler will likely  go broke, even to the extent of borrowing money in the hope to win back loses. The most dangerous thing in this types of scenario is that it can affect the gambler's mental health.

I'm happy in the case of the OP because he was able to read the handwriting on the wall to understand that continue playing can not guarantee winnings to recover his loses. Gambling is based on luck, anything can happen, either to win or loss . So it's best to have a budget before gambling, so if that budget gets exhausted in loses, best to call it a day and live to gamble another day.

Yes for normal people the thought is very absurd and out of what should be done, they are a bit crazy because they carry a mindset and beliefs that are clearly contrary to the facts that the actual concept of gambling. Basically it is very difficult for them to be able to get a win or even just to recover losses. That is why we must be responsible gamblers by always putting money that is ready to be lost so that there is no need or thought to chase losses.

If they put too much obsession and ambition on their gambling then obviously it will only worsen the situation, instead of getting a recovery from the money that has been lost but the opposite happens, the amount of loss is even greater. On the other hand, you should not think that chasing defeat is a struggle to achieve results that match your expectations, because in gambling there is absolutely no guarantee and still for the final result always depends on how lucky you are at that time.

It is very unreasonable if they put their hopes on something that always runs randomly for the results, self-control will always be at war with the temptations and opportunities that you are there, in my opinion that is what makes them end up in a dilemma and confused to choose which one, and because the temptation in gambling is very strong it makes them finally forget self-control and continue to pursue victory because of the temptation that seems tempting when it is nothing more than a trap.

You are right Mate. I have done this a lot and not once has it favoured me, I end up loosing more amidst great pain and regrets. I have managed to work out a way of ensuring I don't chase losses with the saying "he who fights and run away, lives to fight another day". If I loose some bets, I accept my losses and prepare to come back stronger and better. I check the mistakes I made if any and try to improve on my selection. It is not a must to win a particular bet, and if that bet did not work, sit back and come back when your luck might have improved. Let's not forget that luck still play important role in gambling.

Recovering losses in gambling is never recommended because it will only increase the number of losses even greater. We will also face other problems where we can become addicted to gambling and will not realize that we have experienced it when we gamble more often. Apart from that, the money you spend on gambling can increase, so that is what makes many people experience chaos in their finances because they do not control themselves or limit themselves in using money for gambling. And yes, if we have experienced loss, we should stop gambling and rest because at that time, our emotions will increase, and all that is on our minds is the desire to recover from that loss. But by resting, we can lower our emotions so that we can think clearly and not think about trying to recover from loss.

It's hard to give advice to someone whose mindset is so disturbed by addiction, and it seems like you are one of those people who have proven it yourself that indeed when you feel that the final result is always disappointing even though you have done everything like chasing defeat, when you feel it then it's good because indirectly you can confirm that indeed some of the advice from others who say that it is not profitable at all then you will just believe the statement. If we think logically with the actual concept that exists in gambling then clearly chasing defeat makes absolutely no sense and is not recommended, none other than because there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone to be able to recover the defeat in the previous time and also because on the other hand for the problem of the final result always depends on how lucky you are at that time.

You will realize when you feel the real impact that the method is really not effective to do and will only make things worse. So what's better is that there's no other way but to be a responsible gambler by accepting whatever the final result (loss) is, it's better in every way, you won't be depressed because you only put a small amount and without putting any expectations there.

Yes, indeed chasing losses with the desire to recover losses has a very bad impact and one of them is addiction which will hit our minds with uncontrollable emotions of high levels of greed so that they will lose their common sense and have difficulty gambling healthily and things like this often happen Even you and I have experienced this, but we as gamblers who have had experience for a long time can be a little more in control, it's just that after failing to control ourselves, we bet more and lose, usually regret will haunt us for a few days, but that's a normal condition the most important thing is to always make mistakes the key to improve yourself so that you ignore chasing losses in gambling.

What you say is very true, personally I have always thought that when a person enters a casino the first thing they should do is generate or see how much they are willing to lose in a gaming session, if they know how to mature this they will realize that The main thing here is to mature the knowledge that it is a casino, because a casino was invented and you can enjoy having fun and then if there is opportunity then you win, 'but the main thing is to play and enjoy, some do not see it that way because as they will lose so much Well, that enjoyment goes away and turns into pressure and stress, that is why the concept of having money willing to lose adapts to any situation, so in this order of ideas we can act and say that things are like this, to avoid evils understood and especially the deceptions that are so common in every player, this is what is sought to avoid and get players to return to play at the casino.

The other thing that is taken into consideration is very true, I know cases of friends who enter a casino and the first thing they do is try to recover what they have already lost, and this is something that cannot and should not be, because basically things In a casino it is about first being a company, having a business where they have to base themselves on understanding that they must win, and at home (duelloños) they must win, they must not lose, this is what they have to understand, the rest is not No type of business would be set up that would have losses, everyone should know this, because then they will know that they are fighting against the house advantage and against the complexity of the game, which is such a common game and has always existed, and The casinos that manage to get rid of the house advantage simply go into total collapse and go bankrupt, so that is what must be understood, and what you say about how they take advantage of what they win to win more, well, it is very true and it has happened to me, that in fact I have had to take more money to see if I can recover something.

If you do really come into a point on which you would really be chasing up some losses then this is the time that you are already that making yourself that having out of control or simply that becomes that impulsive on which we know that it isnt really that recommended on doing so because it will really be just that making you desperate on your gambling activity on which we know that it isnt really that something that good on having such behavior yet spending money would really be that more severe and its not something that good. When gambling then you should already anticipate
that losing is really that inevitable and you should really accept such condition because people would usually be that impulsive on the time that they arent that getting used to on losing
and instead of accepting they would rather tending or trying out to chase it up instead.

While we know that chasing our losses does not work, one of its most dangerous aspects is that it gives the appearance that it does, one of the most popular betting progressions is martingale, in which after a loss a gambler doubles their bet hoping to recover all the money lost and obtain a small profit, but as you can see this is just another way in which gamblers chase their losses, and martingale gives the impression that it can serve this purpose as you will win your money back the majority of the times you decide to use this strategy, however the day it fails you that is when huge losses will come your way.

Due to the lack of knowledge and understanding of the public, it is easy for influencers to promote online and offline casinos, and only a few people have luck there.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with creating an online casino network, as long as people make good use of it, namely not expecting too much there by spending large amounts of money, only a little and only when necessary.
So the public will not lose much, perhaps they will enjoy the gambling they see there, while the companies also make money there by installing a network of online and offline casinos.

Some people that gamble are covered by the little winning they do get and when those winning come they do forget the fact that they have lost a lot in gambling, I was also a victim of such self deceit because the loses do come frequent where as the winning once a while so when the feeling of experiencing these win do it covers all the losses. Over time I come learn that these winning are actually a trap set for the gambler to forget their losses.

When I said there would not be any regrets if you’re fully aware of the risks involved, I meant you wouldn’t feel bad when the outcome of the games you placed a bet on didn’t go as you would have liked. You are fully aware the outcome could go either ways and are ready for any possible outcome.
Obviously, we all would desire a positive result in our bets so we could win but when you’re aware of the seemingly high possibility of losing, there wouldn’t be any regrets when the outcome doesn’t work in your favor.

The real fact is that ten defeats will be able to be treated with just the sensation of one victory, that's the fact that actually happens, so if you look at the number of y = defeats and the number of wins they get in a certain period of time then I am sure that the number of defeats will be much greater than the victory, but strangely they are still fine and keep gambling as usual without considering anything with the facts that have happened that the number of defeats is much greater. Yes, indirectly with the enthusiasm and hope that you always carry in gambling, it will make you not realize that the actual number of defeats is much more than you imagine.

Yes that's right, that indeed the victory is nothing but a temptation for you to continue to engage in gambling, the casino will not let you go because your defeat is a victory for them, therefore the casino gives you an occasional victory from dozens of tries, nothing but the goal is to keep you involved in gambling and benefit them. Isn't my statement very logical?

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to take a look at some of the things that you can do to make sure that you're getting the most out of the game.

Basically, in my opinion, all gamblers, whether they have a goal just for fun or who really come with a desire to earn, will always look forward to winning if they are lucky, it's just that maybe from the two characters above they have differences in seriousness, for those who just want to fill time to get entertainment, maybe they won't think too much if they end up losing, and it's different for someone who really wants to make money, if they end up losing, they usually won't accept it and instead put more money there and gamble again with the aim of catching up with the defeat at the previous time. The point is that in my opinion it is better to be more realistic in looking at this gambling and focus on the risks not the winnings.

When we have the desire to recover losses, it means we have started to become addicted to gambling, but these are still early signs of gambling addiction, and we have to control ourselves so that it doesn't get bigger. By trying to catch up on these losses, we will likely prepare even larger funds than before, and we may also use the winnings that we have earned. People think that with bigger capital, they can gamble longer, and that's true, but it guarantees they can get big wins too. They must realize that and not force themselves to keep chasing other wins. Many people have tried it, but many of them failed, so we don't need to experience the same thing as them.

Realistically, gambling is all about how you feel when you win or lose. Of course, winning at gambling is very satisfying, don't you think? These victories are more important than the losses. The losses, on the other hand, are actually way more. There's more to it than just losing more often than winning. It's how our mind handle wins and losses

These companies know this. They know a lot about things. That one win out of dozens of tries is just to keep you playing. Smart planning led to this plan. They're not playing the game on the table; they're playing a psychological game. They're winning too. Statement from you? Very reasonable, that. Unfortunately, this is the harsh truth about gambling. Many people fall for the lure of the odd win. The players keep coming back for more, hoping and thinking of that big win. But what really happens? It's a loop where losing more often than winning happens

You are not a regular nor an addicted gambler but your zero tolerance in the few times you places your stakes in the gambling table is unimaginable. I am worried on how you keep to advancing your stakes because your earning is increasing.
I wondered why you didn't employ consciousness or fear to keep loosing because it is assumed it isn't part of you.
However, it is a good one that you could pull yourself out before you are returned a zero level.

i believe at one point in our gambling life, we chase our losses. but if you are conscious enough about this emotion and you still know how to change or your limits, then, addiction may still be far from happening.
i've been in that scenario many times over as well, but i also stopped when i think there's no hope of recovering anymore. there may be some losses but at least when you stop, it means you are cutting further losses. but if you won't stop, then it means, you are subjecting yourself to possible addiction.

I really believe that gamblers experience something like this, chasing losses is a natural thing because no one likes losing and hoping for their money back. However, if luck doesn't come and we continue to force ourselves to chase losses, it will be dangerous because more money will be lost.

When we continue to chasing losses and don't think logically, it is very likely that we have become a gambling addict. In my opinion, if we are chasing losses then just do it once or twice, if luck still doesn't come then stop for a moment and play again in the next few days so that our minds are fresh again.

Every gambler knows that there are two outcomes of gambling, you either win or lose, but most of them lack the self-control required to have some control over their emotions so that they don't act weird or make compulsive decisions when they lose and take it as they take the wins and move on. If all gamblers start thinking that way and act like nothing has happened after losing some money, there won't be a lot of stories of people losing significant sums in gambling.

People lose control over their emotions pretty easily, so they start chasing their losses and then lose even more than what they might have lost if they hadn't tried recovering the previous losses. Still, again, it's all about self-control. They don't have it, which becomes the reason for them to bear more losses.

Exactly, when you manage to stop you are helping yourself not to add more with your loses and to cut that tie with aggressive desire to chase your money, I see your point and that's true, most of us here if not all do expereienced trying to recover after losing huge amount of money, thingking that by adding more you'll have that opportunit to win it back and in hope that after recovering you'll be able to quit and stop, but that's not what will going to happen after, either you got that chance to recover but failed to stop or you lose everything away again.

Well that's exactly right, you said something that is in line with the facts about the difference in feelings between winning and losing, it's quite clear. As I said before that ten defeats will be able to be cured just by getting the sensation of one victory, and that's the perspective in the human mind, especially for those who are addicted like you said here.

Yes, casino companies have arranged everything very neatly, they not only set up the system but apply a tantalizing element of temptation so that gamblers can get addicted to their game concept. Therefore this is a very logical reason why someone can very easily get into addiction and it is also a logical reason why they are difficult to get out of that phase, because their psychology has been controlled by the system in the casino. Therefore, I am sure that every gambler when they want to get involved in gambling or when they want to play, they will definitely feel and assume that "this time I will be able to be one of the lucky ones out of ten people who play", the fact is that the cycle will continue without any time limit that can determine. Therefore, I am honestly quite concerned when someone does not bring any limitations at all and is so ambitious in seeing this gambling.

One factor I think that's very necessary to consider before engaging in gambling is one's ability to  control their emotions when they're winning as well as when they're losing. But most people who aren't mentally capacitated to control their emotions still engage in gambling and the consequences are very mostly bad.
When one is losing in gambling, it's always not a wise decision to try chase his losses by gambling more because at that moment, his predictions are more affected by his quest to reclaim his lost money than the realities of the game hence the very slim chances of recovering his money. So the best thing is to leave gambling at that moment and to come back when he's finally gotten over the pains of his losses

Advertising casinos is basically a marketing strategy that every other business employs to get traffic and increase their customers base because the larger the customer base the more profitable they definitely hope to be, it's left with the customers to choose how to react to the adverts.

Like you rightly said there's nothing wrong with the casinos advertising and there's also nothing wrong with the casinos themselves but the problems continually lays within the gamblers who react in a way that ends up detrimental to them, and that's why most casinos always advocate responsible gambling always on their platforms, gambling it's self if followed the way it aught to be , it's actually fun and not harmful but gamblers abuse it to their detriment because usually anything fun can definitely be addictive.

Chasing losses or chasing losses a guarantee that you will lose and not many succeed, even chasing losses using martingale strategy that looks very good will ultimately lose due to lack budget. More precisely, we make gambling hobby and just to provide fun our free time without having to spend large amount, just small amount of money, betting on smallest value to still be able to enjoy the game for at least 1 hour,  will be more fun than having to chase something that uncertain unless provoked by emotion.
I often say here that would be better to just enjoy gambling as you were trying your luck when you have enough time and never think that from gambling we can get a lot money, but rather think that gambling will never give you money easily.

A gambling company also wants to attract professional gamblers because those gamblers will gamble on their site for a long time. Casinos also don't want gamblers who come in with a large bankroll and quit gambling within days. Because there is no long term benefit from them. So casino companies always try to support those gamblers those who gamble responsibly. Many also give several cautionary messages to those who fall prey to temptation. Now if gamblers are not aware but speak out against casino gambling companies I would say it is their ignorance.

Of course we feel satisfied when we win at gambling, but if it is balanced with good control of course the results will be even more satisfying for ourselves, by having the same thoughts as you stated above, namely much bigger losses. than winning and losing more often than winning. , so the person is likely to be able to control their gambling.

Yes, basically it is a temptation for someone to gamble, if they are only tempted by big profits and the person is not able to control themselves then they will be easily tempted, therefore we must always be sensitive and careful when we are aware of advertisements. or promotions about gambling, don't just believe them.

Yes it is possible, but on the other hand it will also not rule out the possibility that professional gamblers may leave the gambling site if the casino has below average value according to them, and also vice versa if the casino is very comfortable and has a high percentage of trust then it is certain that professional gamblers will be there for a long time, because for them comfort and safety are the top priorities. And for the problem of the casino supporting responsible gamblers, in my opinion, it is a bit off, because what is meant by responsible is when gamblers are always not excessive in their gambling involvement in terms of the amount of budget or in terms of the time they use, while on the other hand the casino wants a big loss suffered by gamblers, which means that in my opinion the casino always wants gamblers to overdo it because then the casino will have a big profit, I think this statement is quite reasonable.

Yes, it's true what you said, if you advertise then it will make a lot of people see it and basically all existing advertisements must be made as attractive as possible in order to attract people to be interested in the ad and then they will learn about it. Although the advertisements that come out use funds, of course the company has taken this into account from the beginning,  because one advertisement can attract many people and will be profitable for them as well. if I think about it, it is a fact in all cases. That what makes us happy will definitely make us addicted. However, unlike gambling, where they usually lose more, they will continue to play, and as you said, those who abuse it can harm themselves. Here it is clear that the fault is not with the gambling company, but the fault is with them, the people or players who are guilty of playing excessively and causing harm to them. So in my opinion, the fault lies with those who gamble without reasonable limits, thus incurring losses.

Influencers always get bonus from any click to register on their referal link they put on their social media handles for their followers to register through which is normal and aside that, they are also paid for their advertising work and what baffles me most is that some of them do not really look into what they promote but rather they are just after their pockets coupled with fake advertising and their gullible followers would immediately start jumping in like sardines and mackerel fish without doing any due diligence on what the influencers are promoting for them to get involved in and after involving their funds and it goes South, they start crying foul when they had failed to do the needful before engaging.

What you say is correct because, with good self-control, we can realize that the winnings we have obtained are actually enough and we still have time on another day to gamble so that we can still win again on another day. We tend to try to chase even more wins and continue gambling using the winnings we have earned, but it turns out that we don't win but experience defeat.

That's why we have to be able to resist temptation so that it doesn't become so big that it will make it difficult for us to control ourselves. And if we can stop when we have won, we will not be tempted by anything related to gambling so we can enjoy the winnings if the amount is large. Self-control in gambling is very necessary so that we can act according to the circumstances we face.

Self control will let you to enjoy your winning amount, and if you also have that investors mindsets after winning huge amount of money, instead of bringing it back to casino or any types of gambling best to use it for investment, establish your own business using your winning money or invest that amount to any ideal investment that you have same interest with, from that point of view, chasing your loses might be by far and instead of risking more money you might be able to make some and enjoy.

What you said is correct but not all gamblers is gambling to gain capital for business. They choose to gamble because is the easiest way to gain money short term and to have fun at the same time. They will not resort to gamble if their main purpose is to have capital for business since they can start business right away using their funds from gambling if they really want that.

Most gamblers that win huge profit tends to gamble it all since they dedicate that money for gambling purposes including the profit. Personally, I have different funds for investments and consider all my gambling funds including profit to gambling and other form of entertainment.

It can't be denied that all gamblers enter into gambling indirectly wanting to win although, I wouldn't be too trusting if they really just want entertainment by refusing to win. Besides, I think it's too high if you expect to get a big win for capital to build a business, you need to be really lucky to reach such a large amount while on the other hand there is no certainty and guarantee for anyone to be able to get it, what usually happens instead of getting a big win but the opposite happens, the amount you lose even increases because you are too chasing a victory which is quite impossible.

The fact is that when they get a win there is usually no alternative they will choose when the state of sensation is dominating other than greed, like humans usually they will never be satisfied with what they have got especially for those who are already addicted, and that's where greed will start. Yes the way you use is quite good, by separating the amount of funds to be allocated to different places, that's a good thing.

That is what gamblers who have good self-control always remember because they not only think about the pleasure they get from gambling, but they also think about their future by building their business. If he can win a lot of money, he will immediately withdraw his winnings and think about what he can do so that he can make money from other places, and building a business is his choice. He will invest the winnings in things he thinks can make money and even if he returns to gamble again another day, it is only for fun and not to chase another big win because he knows it will be difficult to get again. As long as he gambles, he only needs to enjoy the gambling game and will not gamble beyond his limits. Those wise gamblers know that gambling is not a place to make money but one can indeed make money if luck strikes.

Yes, with self-control a person will of course always be aware that when he has won what steps he should take next, with the aim of not getting his hopes up too high in a bet where we don't necessarily know the outcome.

Indeed, a gambler should be able to try to resist every temptation in the gambling he does, because if he is unable to resist it then he will most likely continue playing to fulfill the satisfaction that is within him. that he will experience a great addiction, and if someone is already addicted it is very difficult to stop and being advised is of no use.

Yes, that's right, with good self-control a person will be able to resist the temptation to gamble, and when he wins he will immediately leave the gambling place and enjoy his winnings.

It will seem difficult for a gambler who wants to learn about self-control because by knowing what he has to learn, he feels that to have good self-control you have to learn many things. He might ask if he can do it. But for gamblers who really realize that self-control is something they must have, they will definitely start learning self-control because they know that with self-control they can protect themselves so that they don't gamble excessively.

The gambler will know that in gambling, there will be a lot of temptation and if he does not have good self-control, he will be easily tempted and ultimately will not be able to stop gambling. That's why he wants to learn self-control so that it can help him stay aware that in gambling, he doesn't need to use a lot of money to prevent big losses. He will also always limit himself in gambling by obeying these limits and always stopping on time.

In fact it is very difficult for gamblers to use the profits they get from gambling to get more capital. Many people do not think about funding for business it is better to have a separate fund for gambling and good investments. Gambling risk is high here but if you invest elsewhere there will be no problem in investment above all without expecting to join the world of gambling. And if you manage a win consider it luck ultimately players lose as much cash as they win so it's better not to risk your own funds.

As I mentioned above, if only the person or the gambler can have that kind of mindset it will add up the fun since they manage to win and use the money for business, if both are successful then financial stability plus enjoyment can be the take away from it, though it's not as easy as it is since most of the time gamblers will continue to play even they already have the chance of winning but instead they push for more and lose the money again.


Yeah, I agree with both of you, it\'s not the usual way gambler thinks about his winning money, most of the time they will continue and seek for more even they already winning decently, instead of stopping they will use that money to try adding more with their current earnings, end of the session, they will lose it all and regret after.

One of the great things when you learn to control yourself is that it will come on handy in all kind of situations from now on, and one of those fields is investing, becoming an investor is very hard as you have so many options that it is difficult to pick the one that you think it will be the right asset for you, however by learning to control yourself and avoid taking rushed decisions you will avoid most of the scams and bad coins on the market without too much of a problem, as even if you had the impulse to invest in a coin you will control yourself and think about all the reasons why this is a bad idea.

yep, the most important thing is knowing when to quit and all of that requires commitment and good enough self control to be able to obey your own rules and there are many gamblers who can bet healthily without chasing losses with good enough control but all of that requires struggle which is quite strong because as you and others have said with gambling there are always situations that can cause emotions to take over our minds and we lose control.

If they don't also realize that chasing their losses could cause them to lose even more, they could actually lose a lot of money that they won't be able to afford. If the gambler has been successful in making a lot of money, they should stop gambling and leave the casino to enjoy their winnings by celebrating and resting for a while. Continuing to practice this can make them avoid chasing bigger wins and they will also not try to recover their losses if they experience defeat. If they have won a lot of money, they should think about what they should prepare for the winning money. They can't win big another day so they have to think about trying to make money elsewhere.

And if self-control is truly exercised then he will enjoy the results obtained, namely having a lot of savings or assets because he is able to manage his winnings well by investing.
The next thing he has to do is choose investments according to his abilities. If he chooses wrong then all his plans will fail and he will have to start again from zero.
So the conclusion is that you can still control yourself in gambling situations and if you want to invest then choose the right one according to your abilities and a good plan, so that there are no losses in the future.

You've made an important point about the dangerous route of trying to recover losses. This is the "sunk cost fallacy", a typical behavioral trap that is ingrained in our minds. This misconception prevents bettors from putting good money after poor in an attempt to recover losses. They frequently fail to see the long-term risks because of the short-lived thrill of victory

Conversely, you offer wise counsel in resigning while ahead. It's difficult, though, because of the "winner's high," a psychological condition in which an imaginary feeling of invincibility is fueled by previous success. Discipline and a predetermined escape strategy are essential in this situation. It is imperative for gamblers to acknowledge these psychological undertones and act in opposition to their natural tendencies

They need the balance and the kind of mindset that will keep them away to any form of greed and addiction, chasing your loses most of the time push to lose more, and from that point you may develop bad gambling habits and turn you to become an addicted gambler, better to enjoy if you win some money of when you already lose your initial capital make sure to stop and not to add more money to try recovering back you loses, it's not a good practice, accept your defeats and take as rest to freshen your mindset and recreate a good strategy after.

I am a person who chases losses until I spend all my savings. It was a bad condition for me. I did that when I was new to gambling. I don't have enough experience yet so I keep chasing losses and increasing the bet so that one win can cover the previous loss. But what I did was wrong, chasing losses made me lose more money. I realized it too late, and only realized it when all my savings were gone. This was a bad but valuable experience for me

You may do this "sometimes" if you know your limits. Like I understand that zero chasing is not possible for some people but at least limit yourself and don't do it every single time. I think it would make sense if you did it very rarely, that way you could say that you have seen what harm chasing losses has made for you and you would try to avoid that, it does make sense in a logical kind of way.

People who can sense what harm it could do without actually doing it should avoid it completely and I agree with that, but this is for the people who are not entirely certain what it would do, and the amount of harm it can cause, so if those people rarely do it, like once every 3 months, then they could remember the harm and avoid it. This would give them a chance to not chase losses at the wrong places, and wrong moments which would allow them to get better and do it better. I personally hope that it could work for them in the end as well.

Yeah we both had similar experience on our early days on gambling because in those days whenever I lose a bet I make sure to keep on gambling until I have realized back my money I had spent on the gambling but little did I know that chasing loses is like chasing a shadow that no matter how close you feel that you could reach out to it, in one way or another it will slipped through you, so that's exactly what chasing loses is all about and I learnt from it in a hard way.

Although in other words I love those experience that had during that time because it does not only help me but also guide me on my gambling decisions because is from the experience I realized that chasing loses is the worst gambling strategy to be adapted by any gamblers.

Well, as long as gambling is concerned, there are some things we ourselves must learn the hard way, that is, we do it and based on our own personal experience, we will learn that that thing is not good to do and possibly stop it, but the unfortunate thing is that, such lessons sometimes doesn't come without some losses financially.

Chasing loses is what so many gamblers still practice even till today, for some, it does favor them at the end of the day, while for majority of others, it always end in nothing but much more loses, and as we gamblers, we know not how lucky we will be, this is why it's very important to completely avoid chasing loses, no matter how compelling the feeling to do it is, we must always try as much as possible to be in control of ourselves, rather than allow our emotions control us.

That is why we do not need to try to recover the losses we have experienced. Besides that, it is difficult to obtain, and we will experience an even bigger loss, and it could exceed the previous loss so that the money we have can be used only to try to recover from the loss. The tendency of gamblers to deposit more money into their gambling accounts after experiencing losses has always been there and this causes them to keep trying to recover their losses. We must not be trapped by our thoughts, which constantly tell us to recover from our losses because we will find it difficult to get the big win.

It would be better if we had a plan to use the winning money that we get rather than trying to get even bigger wins. That will be harder to get because we've already had the big win but we still want the bigger one. And that's where we need to have discipline and an escape strategy so that we can really get out of gambling with big winnings that we can use to build other sources of income so that we don't depend on gambling to make money. That will be much better because we will shift our focus on making money to other places that are more promising for generating income.

Stopping gambling after getting a big win is the best thing we can do because by stopping gambling, we can enjoy the winning money and we can also use it for other things, such as creating a new business with the winning money. We will not try to chase another big win so that we can also avoid more losses because once we experience a loss, we will try to recover from that loss so that it will only give us even bigger losses. So we have to be wise with what we have because we have to remember the purpose of our gambling, where we gamble only for fun and not to make money.

Yes, that's one of the impacts because you always overdo it and bring an improper mindset to gambling, I think that means you have entered the real addiction phase if you behave like that in your gambling involvement. Of course that is a very bad condition for you, and I'm sure the impact you feel is not playing around with a lot of financial problems and maybe also with significant mental stress. Yes that's right, it usually happens to beginners and I'm sure you come not to seek entertainment as you should but it seems like you come because you have seen some victories that have been achieved by others or maybe your friends so you are tempted and want to have the same fate.

Lately I think most of those who suffer from addiction are those who have just been involved or entered into gambling, none other than because as I have said above that they come with the wrong mindset and also added because they do not have any experience and never see the impact that happens to other people who have already fallen into addiction. The wrong mindset makes them lose control and of course with that, chasing defeat is always a matter that they think is a good alternative to recovery even though there is no guarantee whatsoever. Of course, the actual fact is that chasing defeat will only cause a lot of problems, so it is important to note that before you enter you must first see what risks are in gambling, because it is clear that usually defeat will dominate more than victory.

Many things must be learned to avoid or reduce risk, because by understanding or learning related things it can minimize the losses that will be experienced, so they will not lose large amounts of money.
Why can you say it is profitable in the end? Do you guarantee that those who chase losses will win? I think most gamblers like that only end up losing. Even if they win too, it's not worth the loss they've felt. With emotions controlling everything to be chaotic until they lose a large amount of money of course this is not a good thing but this is something they should avoid when gambling.

You are lucky because when you make the final deposit you can recover the losses you have incurred, imagine if at the final deposit you had to experience a loss again then you can be sure that you are not feeling pleasure but frustration even though basically your goal in gambling is just for fun but it seems like the goal This suddenly changes because you don't control your emotions well when you lose, giving rise to a desire for revenge by increasing your bet and making deposit after deposit. Fortunately, your game doesn't end up losing everything.

Chasing losses is a common behavior where individuals try to win back money they have lost by increasing their bets. This behavior is driven by the belief that a subsequent win will offset previous losses.
There are several emotional reasons that drives it.
I think the most important is Escapism.

This means that the pursuit of recovering losses, can serve as a form of escapism from the negative emotions associated with financial setbacks. It is a feeling that you escape or distract yourself from real-time problems.

Next time you will be sick, you will feel again the need to gamble, so don't do it!

Or do it but take it easy and set your limits beforehand...

Trying to recover losses seems to have the unintended consequence of making you spend all of your money on gambling before realising how foolish you were. The majority of people who attempt to recover their losses always end up losing further money. Few people will be successful in making up for their losses, and this is not common. If your goal is to recover your loss back, addiction is inevitable. When you bet and lose, you'll be irritated and driven to win back all of your losses. Some people will ultimately increase their bet since they believe they can quickly make their money back.


If you are trying to win back your losses, even if you have a budget before visiting a casino house, you will find it difficult to stick to the budget, because you will do everything possible to win back your loss, the only time which you are going to stop gambling is when you discover that you have nothing left and their is no way you can keep on gambling, some people might end take a loan to gambling hoping to pay back if they can win, and some people will sell properties hope if they can win back all they have lost, they will be getting something better for themselves.

This does not surprise me at all because  I have been in that situation before. My case was even worsened by the fact that I increased the stake hope that one win will cover all the loses. It was as if I was under a spell; I continued gambling until I drained my account. I don't mean my gambling account but my bank account because because I was making deposit after I lose everything in my gambling account.

Chasing losses is not a habit a good gambler should have, it does not always end well. I learnt the hard way and ever since I stopped it, I have made remarkable improvements in my gambling.

It is a real problem that is typically ignored. Many people get caught up in a cycle of loss and hopelessness because they want to win quickly. You're totally right that newbies are especially at risk. People who are inspired by others' rare wins think that gambling is a quick way to get ahead, but they don't realize how rare such results really are. We are heading for trouble with this skewed view. Knowing that gambling is just a form of fun with risks is the key. For control and reasonable goals, knowing this can help. Gambling should be approached with a clear head and an understanding of the high likelihood of failure. Maintaining awareness can help avoid chasing losses, which worsens the issue

The important thing is that you know what your gambling limit is; if you don't know, your casino balance will be depleted, that's for sure. But if you enter a casino, whatever amount you gamble should be the only amount you can use on the day you gamble.

Because of a simple thing like this that we can do, for sure we can prevent losing a large amount, because that's the only money we carry for our bets here in casino gambling.

Simple as it is if we only follow that principle, there's no excess amount that we lose and we can end the session without any regrets, since we allocate that money for our gambling activities. Win or lose we can move forward and we can go forget the amount that we lose, unlike when you don't have that control which most of the time you will try to add more since you wanted to recover and the outcome most of the time is not in your favor and it will add more regret since there's an additional amount that you lose.

Chasing losses carries a big risk and if you insist on recovering your losses it means you also have to be prepared to lose more money because it is difficult to recover the money you have lost in gambling.
and of course there have been many victims who have experienced something like this, therefore we can remind each other here that chasing losses will only increase those losses and as you said, this will probably lead to gambling addiction because they have the aim of recovering their money by placing hopes of the remaining money they have.

---

It cannot be denied that chasing losses is definitely difficult to comply with the budget that has been set, but if we don't chase losses and let go of the money we have lost, we can easily comply with the budget that has been set because our goal is just to have fun.

It's not that easy, once a gambler starts chasing their losses, they don't keep a limit for stopping and they keep doing it until they either lose all their bankroll or manage to win one bet and recover the balance. People often recover their losses initially because it's not impossible all the time, but they make the mistake of trying that more than once which is where they trap themselves and they eventually experience a loss streak that doesn't let them win any bet and takes all the balance away.

So, the best thing is to just let go of the bet that you've lost instead of doubling your bet after every loss and trying to recover the whole balance because that doesn't work all the time, if it did, no one would ever lose money in gambling and everyone would successfully recover their losses and keep winning from casinos and casinos would eventually go bankrupt.

But that's normal, if you come as a newcomer who is inexperienced, such things are absolutely felt by newcomers.
Most people who gamble are also like you that does not apply only to newcomers. but also applies to old gamblers who have not realized what they have done like you, it's good that you can stop doing it and no longer chase losses. If you are still doing the same thing maybe it will worsen your situation, there are also many people who cannot stop it so they sell all the assets they have and even sell their own homes to gamble because they want to get a big win that can cover the losses they feel.
Just make lessons and experiences for the future don't be like that again, but that's your right, we can look back but it's not recommended to repeat.

Chasing losses is a regular occurrence that happened with most gamblers, I also experienced it when I was a binary option trader it's a gambler nightmare and indeed a very bad habit at that point most gamblers can't control their emotions, however now  personally I funded my account with the amount of money I can afford to lose out of my monthly income and once that fund has been expended that is the end for that month, though later I was able to control that habit unfortunately it has dealt a big blow to me on several occasions, now once I pick my accumulated bets and stake with a small amount of money I wouldn't bother again whether lose or gain.

Yes it is a problem that is not uncommon for us to find now and has become strong evidence for the reason that most of the gamblers now come with the wrong mindset, the proof is that now in my country in particular there are more and more victims of gambling, many suffer defeat, family destruction, debt and the worst is that they commit suicide because they are not strong with the conditions of depression experienced. That's the impact of a very bad addiction cycle, I'm sure everyone doesn't want to experience the same thing as them, and neither do I. Therefore, honestly for me personally when I gamble, I don't want to experience the same thing as them. Therefore, honestly for me personally when the final result does not match my expectations, I always try to divert my attention to other things, that doesn't mean I'm not annoyed, annoyance is definitely there even though I come just for fun, and for other things I do is yes I always try to divert my attention by doing other activities or playing online games.

Of course, as I have discussed before that usually those who are more vulnerable to entering the addiction zone are those newbies who have just come, most of which I can confirm what their goal is to come to gambling, it has happened very much, they want to win but do not want to lose, while the casino will continue to press the system that defeat must continue to dominate gamblers because that is the profit made by the casino. So this should really be a concern, don't let you put the wrong mindset in gambling, this is not a place to earn but just a game that will provide entertainment and if at that time you are lucky then you will get a prize in return, never consider it a victory but consider it just a prize, because the meaning of the word prize and victory is quite different, with that then I think you will automatically do a lot of restrictions without having to take advice from others first.

It can take a person a few tries before they get it right and they may chase their losses a few times before they learn their lesson, but this is a lesson that most gamblers eventually learn as it is such a common mistake, however there are a few gamblers out there that never learn their lesson and despite losing several times in a row they decide to keep gambling hoping for one day to recover the money they have lost, and unfortunately for them that day most likely will never come.

Yes, I don't think that gamblers didn't know this, however, it's the risk that we take though, it's like go big or go home attitude, YOLO. So maybe there are some gamblers here who will go and chase their losses in hoping that they can still make it break even at the end of their session or even won some money. But in any case, they chase and lost then it's going to be a problem. You might be affected mentally and physically, I mean there will be times that you are thinking that you should have quit when you still have some money or you chase and then get it back. But then again, it's really hard to control our emotions if we are in that kind of situation, your mind is thinking possible things that might happen and then you give in to the desire of wanting to make a comeback win.

The loss is impossible to cover with a victory that is also difficult to get, only a small victory they will get and those who gamble will not feel satisfied with the small wins they get so they will continue to play like that until their money and assets run out. because playing with the wrong goal, can make them miserable in the future, this has become a common thing for many gamblers like this, they should be able to realize what they have felt from the bad effects of gambling.

It is not easy to eliminate the desire to gamble even if they divert to other things it is unlikely that they can withstand the desire to gamble. Gambling addiction will be difficult to get rid of if you are attached to themselves especially by considering it as the main income in their daily lives, this is not a good thing. but this can worsen their situation in the future. I salute gamblers who have a strong ambition to recover their losses, but their ambition is misplaced, so they lose more money chasing those losses.

It seems that it has become a natural thing that is common, especially for gamblers who are newly involved in gambling, of course it is beyond our control or other people because in the early stages they are still very excited in carrying that wrong mindset, so it is very difficult to be able to give better advice to them if they are in a state of enthusiasm in their gambling involvement. Chasing losses to break even is the initial cycle experienced by newly involved gamblers, they do not know that it is the starting point of a more severe destruction that will cause many problems, especially in their finances.

That's quite a serious problem but on the other hand as I said above it's quite difficult to control them with some advice, they have their own mindset that is always strong even though it's basically very wrong. So maybe what will be able to change them for the better is just time, they will be able to know that they should not overdo it when they have experienced some serious impacts which will indirectly give them valuable experience not to make the same mistake again. So I think there will be a certain point where they will be able to gain some awareness.

When gambler can guarantee win and can accurately get win then that is not problem but in this gambling, no gambler can determine or guarantee win so doing something like that is the biggest mistake of gambler who really wants losing streak.
On the other hand, chasing victory can cause high mental pressure and make the brain work harder with feelings of anxiety to see the results that will be obtained.
If it very clear about finances people like this can't manage their finances well, in fact they tend to be more like gamblers who are crazy about unlimited profits.
What they do ultimately brings hardship, regret and financial ruin.

If you are just new or really that a newbie when it comes to gambling then you do suddenly experiencing those kind of losses on which you didnt even expect for it to be that severe then it would really be normal that it would really be giving out that kind of actions whenever you do able to blow out your entire capital or bankroll on which this would really be the most common reaction you would be having. If you are that someone who do already have that kind of experience then you would already be aware with this kind of situation on which it would really be that making you avoid on chasing up losses since you do already know on what would gonna happen next.If you are that someone whose really that impulsive when it comes to gambling then you should really be starting on quitting or getting rid of it or else it would really be bringing up that
kind of damage or devastation when it comes to your finances.

This is why its never been good on having that chasing of losses in the first place. You should really that make yourself pretty wary about on how gambling works and what are the things that you would
be mainly be encountering because if you dont then for sure you would really be having that kind of huge problem on the time that you do experience things.
You wont really be putting up yourself on safety on this case.

If there are gamblers who say that they can win consistently then don't believe it and consider it nothing more than nonsense. Basically, no matter how you gamble or even if you are a professional gambler, it will not always be able to make you increase your chances of winning, in gambling there is nothing that can make your winning percentage more frequent, simply put, when you enter, there will be two answers to the end, namely winning and losing, different times you gamble, there will also be different results from your gambling, meaning that even if you won before, it will not necessarily happen again in the future, so the point is that all of this is nothing more than how lucky you are.

One of the reasons that can make them act out of control or even commit suicide? Yes you have said that it is because of the mental and psychological pressure that exists in gambling, so do you want to chase victory but at such high risk? I think only fools will do it for something that is basically not always in their favor. Yes that's right, one of the reasons why gamblers always end up in poverty is because they can't manage their finances at all, it's because they put too much hope in gambling that they can't do any consideration before deciding.

Sorry for your losses but very importantly your lessons have been learnt and in the nearest future you are definitely not going to make such mistake and you stand a better place to even advise others especially newbies to gambling on how well to gamble and to stay responsible at it.

Some persons may still not learn even if they are getting a first hand advise about it from your experience now, they will probably wait until it happens to them then they would realize how bad it is because they are maybe used to learning the hard way. Chasing loss is one of the worse form of gambling especially when you start increasing your stake with the hope that you will recover all at your next big win , you definitely end up loosing more,it's even better to increase the odds and reduce the stake, you could recover if you are lucky but they I strongly advise against chasing loss.

Really hard in terms of resisting that temptation,  knowing that by adding money  to your balance will give you a chance to recover your losses,  though most of the time the outcome is not on the gamblers favor and it affects them hard, especially if that additional money that you deposited is intended for other important things and you lost it in gambling,  regrets is all the way and it can take some days or more before you can move forward and start forgetting  such mistakes.

If you can resist not sending another deposit then you definitely had fought yourself good. Not all can do that though. It means a lot when you are quitting. The problem is the loss of your hard earned BTC.

But when you think of winning back the loss and its all because you deposited another batch, then its not just luck that made you successful in chasing your loss but your persistence.

The continuous deposit to the gambling site in a same day after the many loss in the gambling sites,So it mean the gambler was in the addiction to the gambling sites.The addicited person doctor will ask him reduce the gambling addiction by reduce of the deposit of the gambling sites.The gambler should fought for the every game loss regain by the target of chasing loss in the future game.The gambler who had the capacity to build their own winning in the continuous game will get away from the direction of big win.So the gambler who target the loss in the gambling is like the one way part,we don't know when we back from the sea to normal game.

That is something quite good to clarify, because we do not see that there are many reasons for people to classify others incorrectly, we as players know very well that things here must be done very correctly, that is, in the moment we are in the casino and if we spend a whole day there, it is something that can be, and that does not mean we are addicted, there are people who if they are in their casino every day, and they lose and continue playing and losing I could talk about an addition, the bad thing is that when they play and lose, their money runs out, and if they run out, then that is something that is already beginning to look worse, because if the person does not control themselves well in what So basically you can do many things to continue playing, usually these types of people lend money to their friends, their families, they get involved with banks, to get money and be able to play, and once they do all this, they get it or No, they will always have problems on that side.

The bad thing about an addicted person is that they can lose more than money, they can lose all those friends, their own family and be left alone, I have seen that it has affected many people and it is not a good thing, it is sad, for That is that people must see to being addicts at all costs, it is something that must be taken as a premise, therefore when we are in a casino, the first thing we must take into consideration is our money, and always that we are in a casino. casino, let's get emotional, we must carry you through the good streak, the emotions, impulses and then when the losing streak comes, that's when we must be intelligent
and lower the bets to the minimum, because when you start to lose, those losing streaks are very long, when I start a losing streak I cut it off at once, it is not easy, because one is on 1000% adrenaline, but It should be done because basically when things are not done that way and you repeat it, everything is lost.

It is better that you do not continue chasing losses , and it is Better to have money Available only for you, and not lose your savings , try to use half of what you Always use and you will see that this is how your money will begin to yield and imagine that you spent it all or you lost it if you lose it in the game in that case.

     -   Most gamblers know that, in truth, that's why they continue to do that style. Now the question is, why? That's because the addiction
is already there.

Since the addiction that has become the root of everything is there, they really can't get rid of that kind of always-chasing after losing because they think they can still recover their losses that have reached a large amount. But, as much as possible, don't get used to this behavior.

Yeah.. Continuous deposits to gambling sites following multiple losses are a clear indication of gambling addiction. This pattern of behavior is known as chasing losses, and it is a common trap that many addicted gamblers fall into. The gambler's goal of regaining every game loss by targeting future games is unrealistic and ultimately self-defeating. Gambling is inherently unpredictable, and there is no guaranteed way to win back lost money. Instead, the gambler should focus on breaking the cycle of addiction and developing healthier coping mechanisms.

The gambler who is fixated on recouping losses is like a ship sailing into an endless sea with no clear path back to shore. The addiction can consume their thoughts and actions, leading them further away from a normal life. Overcoming gambling addiction requires a conscious effort and a commitment to change from the addicted gamblers. With the right support and resources, individuals can break free from the grip of addiction and regain control of their lives.

They will also lose their minds and even their mentality will also be damaged not to mention their mindset too. They should be able to limit themselves when they have not much money and lose they should stop not thinking of ways to get back to gambling. because it will bring excessive addiction, as you said, emotions will become uncontrollable and it will make everything messy, unconsciously they have played filled with anger and lust. They should have realized and lowered the bet value like you said, but unfortunately they didn't, because of their emotions, they will continue to play with lust to pursue a big win, even though they finally lost and were upset with the game that was not to their liking and continued like that if they had not found the point of realization.

They will also lose their minds and even their mentality will also be damaged not to mention their mindset too. They should be able to limit themselves when they have not much money and lose they should stop not thinking of ways to get back to gambling. because it will bring excessive addiction, as you said, emotions will become uncontrollable and it will make everything messy, unconsciously they have played filled with anger and lust. They should have realized and lowered the bet value like you said, but unfortunately they didn't, because of their emotions, they will continue to play with lust to pursue a big win, even though they finally lost and were upset with the game that was not to their liking and continued like that if they had not found the point of realization.

Indeed, they should play with the aim of just having fun not to pursue losses that can spend more of their money and can even involve other people because they have run out of money and they will make loans that will make it difficult for them too later, they can even commit crimes that have great risks for themselves, not caring about others as long as they can get money and can gamble again. This is what I am afraid of, when they dare to commit crimes that will harm themselves and can even harm others who are affected, it is difficult to awaken someone who is addicted to gambling, because when given advice, some of them rebel against it because they do not accept being advised. So in my opinion, only they themselves can stop and realize that what they are doing is wrong.

Of course a new gambler or beginner is very different from an experienced gambler or for example a professional, where the difference might be said to be quite significant, the beginners as I said earlier that they are still very eager to chase defeat there in order to break even, they don't know yet that it is the starting point of a more severe destruction, yes it is beyond our control because after all for people who are very excited we will be quite difficult to give them advice. And for experienced gamblers of course they have experienced many conditions that make them down, so if the next time they feel that there are indications that it might happen again then obviously they will be more vigilant as you said, not least because they learned from previous experiences. They will focus more on some precautions rather than continuing to play to chase defeat because they already know that it will only make things worse, so maybe for beginners they just need time to get experience like that which then later can be used as a lesson so as not to take actions that are out of control.

Of course, what should be done in such a situation is to take a break and stop, but for beginners who have just come and are still very excited with high hopes, it is very difficult to do so, they will only be able to take some precautions firmly when they have a little bit of realization of the consequences of their bitter experience. Basically, it is very difficult to handle emotions and greed when their hearts and minds are still at a very high level of expectation.

Why do individual think they'll win if they continue playing when they already lost, how do they think they'll be lucky this time when they couldn't be luck the first time they try. If gamblers as this questions they won't be chasing after losses because they'll know it isn't worth it. When you lose just move on and look for other things to do. Don't gamble after you won or lost because they're both traps and you'll be caught without escapes.

Losses make you want to win back you losses by continue gambling and wins make you feel you can't be defeated and want to continue playing so you can win more but you won't be successful because you'll make mistakes that'll make you lose instead of winning. Chasing after losses is a poor mentality and will lead you to more losses. Just quit and that's why you need other source of income when you're a gambler so you don't get tempted to chase loses.

That is it, it will be really hard since you've already concurred with it. You are right on what you pointed to but just expressing the state of mind of addicts, that mindset that "it is hard" will keep them entangled in the web of addiction, but would be set free the moment they have the change of mind.

Addiction is a mind issue and it could either be hard or easy to let go only by the person involved, which is why psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists etc. like to play mind games or deliverance and try to penetrate into the minds of people in order to be able to correct what is wrong. But all these wouldn't have been necessary if the person is first willing, and the moment this happens, the rest will be a simple work-over. This, I've seen in practice at the same time, only that you would help yourself further by giving it a long-term break to be well cured. I've seen a friend who smoked and drank alcohol excessively and was very addicted to it for over 25 years but vowed that the day he saw his first child would be the day he would stop smoking and reduce drinking to the barest minimum. Like a play, over 10 years have passed and this guy is yet to burn a cigarette stick and you will be begging him to even finish a bottle of beer. That's willpower, everyone fighting addiction should have this, that determination alone will go a long way to set them free.

This is also applicable to betting, and if well experienced, that time you are losing more is the time you need more break, if not, you would lose more and who's to be blamed if not you? In any consistent losing situations gamblers should not think anymore, they should just stop and fight whatever mind-spirits would advocate gambling more, even within weeks. This was what I did when I was addicted to lotto in 2013 and I must even say that it was easy to overcome it naturally. I have a strong mind, and I believe everyone has it too, only that most do not nurture it.

Gambling addiction can come on suddenly and without anyone realizing it. Many gamblers have experienced this, but the levels of gambling addiction also vary, so some gamblers can still control themselves when gambling. Only the awareness that they have started to experience a gambling addiction can make them see the fact that the gambling addiction is already within them, and they must try to suppress the gambling addiction so that it doesn't get bigger. And if they are still trying to recover their losses, the gambling addiction can become bigger without them even realizing it. That is why we must have good self-control so that we can understand that in gambling, we do not need to try to recover losses or chase bigger wins.

That is why we always should not overdo it when gambling, none other than because emotions are very likely to occur when the final result does not match what you want, and in that condition then I believe you will unconsciously continue to gamble to chase defeat and unconsciously you will enter into addiction, not only that because even if you win it does not mean you will not become an addicted gambler, It really depends on your point of view on this activity, if you put too much thrill in winning then it will also make you addicted and forget the real concept of gambling that is nothing more than luck and both of the above are indications that can make you addicted without realizing it.

Well that's right, I admit that indeed the level of addiction is different and I think it also depends on the gambler's own point of view in seeing gambling, the fact is that there are those who are very addicted to a high level and cannot take any precautions, and there are also those who are still in a pretty good consciousness and they can still at least take some precautions such as maybe not being too greedy and other things. But it's very difficult guys to get to that point of awareness or even just to find out if they're addicted or not. I think in that condition he has to see the downfall of other people so that they can wake up.

The reason why losses are been chased is because of anger.we are angry whenever we lose,and the money spent on the gambling can even make one have sleepless nights,that is why people try more to recover back the money lost already,which is very risky because it can totally turn out to be bad for you.In chasing loses,it is always two sided,it is either you will win while chasing it,that is,you may recover some of the money or all,while on the other hand,you can end up losing more of your money.
But the chances of winning back your money is always very slim,because you won't gamble with a free mind anymore,it will be out of anger,and that will cause you to lose more.

If the gambler had target the loss in the gambling sites,he automatically get into the emotion into the game.Ifthe betting was made with the emotion,it will be the biggest problem for the gambler.Because most of the gambler do the mistake of the random betting in the emotion to the game.The gambler should do the gambling with some of patience,So he not made the blunder in the gambling betting.Most of the gambler who was successful in gambling will do some meditation in the early morning and when they encounter of continuous loss in the gambling.So vacations after the continuous loss will be the better option for the gambler to get away from the gambling addicted person because of this continuous loss in the gambling site.

Gambling  emotionally is the danger that alters your otherwise normal gaming behavior and puts the gambler into the moment where they can lose all.  Stick to a premade plan and you have the method to avoid the problem, its simple advice but its also the best advice imo.   Many people shouldn't drink and gamble as it compromises judgement way too much.    A pre made budget, dont take any way to get more money too easily as that will be the downfall to your plans.   Crypto I always argue allows a person to isolate their budgets.
  The best gambles imo are the ones you put on days before a sports match after reading an article or some other realization of the game dynamics, active gambles in a card game or whatever live game is far harder to do.

Things that every gambler must avoid is playing gambling when they are bored, chasing to return capital and gambling over an excessive time limit.  i have also experienced this, but for now i will not do that again, when i run out of capital that i have set for today, i will stop, i will try to return my capital again tomorrow, because my luck will definitely be different. tomorrow.  The main rule in gambling is don't be greedy and don't chase after returning your capital one day, let it all start again tomorrow. 

First people gamblers who chase loses are already in pains, the pain of loss. And the move to chase a lost is an act that seems to the gambler as trying to right a wrong. The truth is when chasing losses any gambling strategy you would have had goes right out the window. I was once a victim of this, in the past, I once lost $100 in one spin and then instantly I went and put on the same bet within a matter of seconds and lost another $100 right there and then because I panicked. My head was in one place because at that moment I wanted to rectify the situation. I ended up making the situation far worse.

I agree, if we have set limits on the use of funds for gambling then if the funds have been lost then never make a deposit again, let you bet again tomorrow to get different opportunities. If the case OP didn't get lucky on the last betting amount then he has lost funds above $2k just for daily betting, even though he set a fund limit of $85 for daily betting but the greed factor to recover the loss he has deposited larger funds without considering the loss, I salute him OP realized his mistake and he has committed not to repeat the same mistake in the next bet.

Yes it is true that we must be very firm in making plans, especially in financial matters and management of your gambling, of course it is true but unfortunately it may be quite difficult to do, not impossible but not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Because if we are already at a high level of emotion when the final result turns out to lose then the main thing in the gambler's mind is usually they will think about how to find money to deposit again, that means they do not accept the risks involved in gambling. So the main problem in my opinion is whether you can accept the risk of losing in the gambling you do or not, if it is not then it is better not to gamble, because of course if you lose then you will chase the loss to break even which is basically very difficult.

Two luck will not come at the same time, which is why when they are greedy like the case experienced by the OP then usually the final result in the second session is always disappointing, instead of getting a bigger win or returning the loss in the previous time but what happens is the number of defeats even more. So of course the best thing is like you said it's better to take a break first and continue again tomorrow, maybe there is luck waiting for you tomorrow and not today.

That's the right approach when it comes to gambling. Never try to deposit one more time just because we think we can get back whatever losses we had from the first round. Gambling sites don't work that way. There's a chance we will just lose that second round and maybe even worse if we go back and deposit more until all our funds are gone.
It's better if we have a memory problem, what I mean is we can easily forget what had been lost because that way we won't be chasing the losses.
Sure, there is what they call the RTP but most of the time it won't happen for just a short round of like 100-200 bets. The chances of it coming out are deep within thousands of bets and that's when we will feel that they are returning what was loss. But still, there's no assurance to that.

And the more we chase our losses, the more we lose control of our emotions leading to the worse scenario that we surely experience later.
That is why if we can afford to lose $100 in gambling, then better make a decision not to try this either because this will only be the reason for losing $1000, instead of just $100. In the words, more chasing, more losses, and we end up empty.
And as we look into those people who are desperate to chase losses are those who are newbies. We really need to educate ourselves first before gambling, not after.

You are right that everything is fueled by anger caused by the losses we experience. We cannot accept the losses we have received, even if they are consecutive losses. It makes us emotional and want to recover the loss by depositing another amount of money to be able to get the money back. But we don't realize that recovering from those losses means we take a greater risk of losing money. We also forget that the opportunity to recover from the loss is not as big as if we suffered the loss because we could experience an even bigger loss. So we have to think about it more deeply so that we can avoid bigger losses.

Being persistent in gambling often becomes the reason for regret later on because chasing losses in gambling isn't like working hard to achieve something where if you don't give up, you will eventually achieve it, in this case, if you stay persistent and continue depositing and trying to recover the losses, you will keep losing more money which isn't mentally and financially good for the person and they will lose both, their money and their mind, slowly, if they continue.

So, one shouldn't be persistent when it comes to chasing losses because that isn't a good thing and it can be very costly. It's self-control and patience that are good elements to be found in a gambler, not persistence. Someone with good self-control and enough patience can save themselves from a lot of stress.

I agree that when we continue to chase returns on capital in gambling, it will only make us deepen our losses. However, there is one point that I don't quite understand about "gambling when you're bored".? Because isn't gambling supposed to be done in your spare time? or are we the ones who take the time to gamble...? However, if we have to take the time to gamble, how important is gambling?

I myself also gamble when boredom strikes, where my tasks and work are finished. That's when I felt bored because I couldn't find other activities that could give me pleasure, or just fill my free time. And as long as I gamble, I have never experienced a significant loss.

Well for me I don't think gambling when one is bored is a good idea because most times when we are bored it is believed that one isn't really in the right state of mind at that particular time so gambling at that time may not really work out well more especially when someone is losing a bet because it will make the person to be so unhappy and angry at same time. So gambling should be done at a time when you're in your right state of mind so that even if you don't win you can still be happy and cheerful.

If gamblers must avoid gambling while they are bored then why gamble at all? Gambling is supposed to be just another hobby, and while there are many ways in which we can stave off boredom, I do not think there is anything inherently wrong with using a few dollars from time to time to obtain the entertainment we want out of gambling, and if anything I think this is the healthiest way to approach gambling, as those that try to make money out of it are the ones that are at a greater risk of suffering higher losses due to their misguided objectives when they gamble.

Boredom is definitely a danger, people do stupid things when bored as its the opposite of patience.  I would agree its best to change course when unable to think of any valid tactic to proceed with just throwing it all on a random number and hope is a loss that might take down the gains of a whole evening, easy to end up taking stupid risks.  This is true in general not just gambling so good life lesson perhaps.
