How do you handle near misses in gambling?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I dont think we should a term like "near-miss" in gambling because it is a loss in simple terms. You dont get a consolation prize for having "nearly missed" you have lost your wager.

If you were playing the soccer match, then things would be different and near missed can be justified but because you are gambling on the outcome, it is either win or lose the bet.

So take as losses, and add them to the loss list that will help you understand that your luck is what matters in the end.

You have a point though, a loss is a loss...But if you haven't experienced something like this then you can't understand the pain that comes with it. It's quite normal to combine a lot of games and at the end of the day have a cut one especially when the potential win is a huge amount of money..this is definitely going to sting for a while anytime you think about how to you were close to making a large amount of money, we can't erase near misses from gambling

That's why I like to take cash out, I believe that their always comes up cash out offer from most bookmakers when you bet on a parlay and most of the game is already successful. The reason why some people do not accept cash out is because they are overconfident that the game  will work in their favour but at the end If they loss the bet, they lost everything, both the cash out and the money they staked with.  I prefer to take cash out and restake on the last few games.

That's a smart thing to do, I've also learnt that distracting your mind so you don't make careless decisions...as for me I prefer to play video games to take my mind off it because I know that if I don't channel my focus to something else I might end up chasing the wins that I missed...the most important thing to learn as gambler or a bettor is discipline it's going to save you from making a lot of mistakes

By the way, I completely forgot about video games. I have not played them for a long time. If I have a desire to go to the casino again after the loss, I will consider this option as a way to distract myself. And why didn’t I think of it before? It is strange that he himself did not come to this conclusion. But he loved to spend time in this way. I remember for hours I could play strategy. I even forgot about the rest of the world. So it fascinated me that I did not notice the course of time. Thank you very much for such a hint.

Yes, indeed, computer games can partially replace gambling for me, because I also experience emotions there, especially when I play with friends. Only gambling affects our wallet, so we experience slightly different emotions. In the end, if we all lose, then we will have to look for food, but I think that many players do not reach this stage. By the way, computer games definitely helped me control my emotions better, because tens of thousands of different micro-moments in games taught me to calmly react to changes in situations that happen abruptly.

The reason why some people do not accept cash out is because they are overconfident that the game  will work in their favour but at the end If they loss the bet, they lost everything, both the cash out and the money they staked with.  I prefer to take cash out and restake on the last few games.

That’s how a player’s psychology works. Why cash out half of the winnings now if you can wait for the remaining games and win even more? Why do most players wait until all their matches are finished? It’s very simple, because when a player places a bet, they’re confident in those matches. A cash-out on the remaining events is usually done only by someone who starts doubting the rest of their picks. Or by someone who already had doubts about those matches even before placing the bet. But in that case, I don’t see any point in betting on matches you aren’t confident in. That’s why most players don’t cash out early and wait for all their matches to be settled, because they believe that every one of those games will go in their favor.

Near mises are common in sports betting. 1 goal is still a huge difference, there are win and loss due to 1 runs in cricket or 1 point in basketball. Surprisingly, they are not rare either. I've lost many of those bets with very small margin or a small time delay. I'm now so used to these near misses that I consider them no different from other losses. In gambling you either win or lose, margins don't matter at all, be it huge or small.

Cashing out is a new feature my bookie just added and it is a life saver sometimes. I don't have exact idea how it works and seems like there's some calculations they are still trying to figure out but when you keep looking, sometimes you get your money back even when its almost sure you are going to lose the game. Still you would not be able to manage it if you wait till end for a close game.

Risk is part of the game, coming close to an important victory or losing it by a hair's breadth is a risk you can't ignore.
It's called gambling, you risk a bet and at most the only thing to do for a few days is not to bet anything,
the time to assimilate the loss and psychologically you've calmed down.
There are no magic wands or useful advice in these things, simply keep calm and think: tomorrow will be better!

I think this makes a lot of sense, a near miss is still a loss and it has the capability of making you start chasing if you are not disciplined enough. Just like you said luck is all that matters in the end and gamblers should do better when it comes to accepting their losses and just move on. If you can't accept whatever outcome you get it means that you don't know what it means to be a gambler. Losses are inveitable

We must understand something, when we are in a casino the safest thing for us is to lose, we must be clear about that, if we are thinking about "pregnant birds" we are in a bad way, that is why some accidents or near Accidents in the game are things that can happen, and as such we must accept and be careful , concentrate , Always putting as a basis what we need is to control our money very well.
