Accepting defeat vs lowering the risks

[khiholangkang]

Is accepting your defeat when gambling and not learning from your mistakes means nothing? People talked about accepting your defeat and move on when you gamble and lose, but what about people who risk more than they can afford to lose? Even if they can move on I think they will probably get rekt again if they don't learn the act of lowering risks exposure.

What do you think? Is accepting defeat enough or learning to lower the risk?

Yes, it should be, because people who have accepted defeat are usually awareness again that they will not always get victory, people who receive defeat tend to think more openly so it is very important to do for people who have experienced defeat because it is a form of maturity, such as accepting a failure in a process.

There are a lot of gamblers who cannot accept their defeats and every time they gambling they always want to avenge to take back losses that have been lost in the previous defeat and of course we know that with such a soul more defeat than victory in gambling, increasingly not accepting defeat then The greater the loss of money.

Some gamblers are always against the idea of lowering their risks because they are always aiming to win big, this is a sign of greed and it could cost you a lot in gambling. Accepting defeat is just one step to avoiding losses but that's not enough you must also cut down the risks you take. If your stake on an aviator crash game is 5 dollars and let's say you lose more than 3 times in a row it's wise for you to stake below that amount,  you can reduce your stake to a dollar on each round, this is how to mitigate losses. Lowering the risks prevents you from losing more, increasing your stake to chase your losses might make you lose more.

experience as well as understanding how to act better in a situation comes only with time. I think many will agree that at the very beginning, when they got into gambling, they made many mistakes because of which they lost their balance. And there are those who have learned to control themselves and there are those who continue to make mistakes in the hope of hitting their jackpot. I think that there is no golden mean here and everyone adheres to their own style of play.

Accepting defeat and minimizing the possibility of major risks should be the aim of a gambler but in reality few gamblers can make this correct decision in such situations. Many gamblers take repeated bets only based on the greed of the heart, but if he could temporarily stop himself from gambling by accepting the previous losses and defeats, then maybe he could avoid any kind of risk. But most gamblers lose all their capital and end up bankrupt simply because they don't accept defeat and learn from past mistakes.

There is complete consent that gambling must only for entertainment but in reality it's not the case. The gambling industry makes lot of money because majority of gamblers are not willing to accept there mistakes rather they keep on putting money to make up losses.

can a gambler really commit mistake?

We know that almost all gambling games just rely on luck so it’s not like there is anything strategic we can do/change to make sure we win but what we can do is make sure we minimize the losses so yeah don’t chase losses and manage your money that will be the only strategy we can deploy

You can only lower your risk by using only the money you have budgeted for the gambling. And that includes the idea, that you should have counted that budgeted money already as a loss.

That's the only way to both lower the risk and accepting the defeat in advance. If you happen to win, you can accept the win as well and walk away with the money.
Planning and preparing in advance in gambling and in life is the key for financial responsibility.

I will still continue to ask this question, why will people want to stake money with the intention of losing it and still continue with the process. I know the popular believe is that you stake only what you can afford to lose but I feel like that's not just enough to make profits when gambling expect of course if you do not gamble with the intention of making money in the first instance.

The way I lower my risk when gambling is relied on my ability to reduce my expectations. Expectations in my opinion hurt more than the money we invest into gambling sometimes. The level at which you're able to lower your expectations have a great effect on the length you can go to sinking funds and expecting results.

Is this question even necessary? I am kinda shocked that some people still see gambling as a do or die affair where quitting at the right time becomes difficult for them. If gamblers can learn to gamble with only amounts they can afford to lose, we won't be having any conversation about accepting defeats in the first place. Rather, they will see it as a fun thing and try to improve more by learning new skills from their mistakes. We already know without being told what will happen to gamblers that would refuse to accept defeat and learn from their mistakes.

That accepting of defeat advice is to help reduce the kind of loss that could be incurred as a result of trying to chase your loss, which some people regard as revenge gambling. 
 
Some players just like to learn the hard way. They don't take advice; they believe they can still have a chance if they keep on pushing, which usually lands them in losing their remaining bankroll until they have nothing left. Only then can some of them start to regret and maybe will take the advice of taking a break when necessary; some will never learn.

There's practically no strategy that you can use to eliminate completely, the risk in gambling. But the beautiful thing is that you can control it. For your question, I'd say both; it's like saying you wanna learn how to swim, but you dunno how to control your balance from within, which is the most important thing to do..." You could have a bouy that should practically increase your buoyancy, but you'll still sink if you can't balance on the bouy"

While accepting defeat is a vital defensive mechanism, learning how to lower your risk is the only potential you got to win with.. that's the only kind of risk that'd prolly pay off at the end.
I use to tell people - what makes them a professional gambler isn't running from the risk, but taking chances professionally... There's no other route to win aside the thorny, hurdle-way.

Of course accepting defeat is an action that falls into the category of reducing risk, or the intention is to minimize the possibility of losing a larger amount of money, but remember that the ability to be responsible does not mean that you are completely free from defeat, or it does not mean that you will never lose just because you have the ability to accept defeat, meaning that this ability is useful only to minimize and not to avoid it completely.

The reason is clear that gambling is still a game that leads to two things, namely winning or losing, we will never know before we finish the game, and that means no matter how you gamble and no matter how smart you are in predicting the game, defeat will always be part of the game, but from another point of view if for example you really don't want to lose anything then clearly not gambling at all is the answer.

Both are essential in our life as a gambler when we Gamble and loss huge amount of money we should learn not to fight against the casino/gambling site because already you can't defeat the house, and also know that at that moment you lose you are with anxiety to recover what you had already lost, going further place you on a more risk to continue losing more. That is why you must accept defeat and let that day passes you bye so that when you go back to gamble you have a fresh mindset to rethink properly to gamble instead of trying to beat the house, and again it's also important to reduce the amount which are used to gamble because if loss huge amount the anxiousness would be very severe to you and therefore, lowering risk help to culture the gambler's thinking and reduce the rate at which to lose.

I agree with you, there will be losses or wins in gambling, but we have to learn to accept any outcome, if after a loss, a gambler keeps gambling more and more in the hope of making up for that loss, then it usually leads him to bigger losses. Because the chances of losing are more than winning in gambling.
So if someone loses in gambling, he should accept that defeat and stop gambling. And for this, gambling should be seen only as entertainment, so that after a loss it does not put you in any financial problem.

Those who often see gambling as the only means of income could likely react this way because they put their all hope over there with the mind to have winning and when they lose to gambling site, they tried all means to recover what they had lost leading them to additional loss which in all circumstances after emptying their bankroll it's advisable not to fund again to gamble because immediately they gamble it will leads to additional more lost. Of course when it's taking as something to while away time or something as fun purpose without much financially attachments then it would be fine.

If you gamble and you lose, then you will have to do some research to know the cause of your frequent losses. If you lose, you are suppose to accept defeat, but you are suppose learn from your mistake so that when next you gambling, you won’t make similar mistake. Why are you even supposed to risk what you can’t afford to lose when gambling? It doesn’t make any sense now, and even if you risk more than you can afford to lose, and you end up losing, all you can do is just accept the loss, if you try to recover your loss, then you are causing more problems for yourself, because you might end up losing more.

What do you think? Is accepting defeat enough or learning to lower the risk?

Accepting defeat without learning is rubbish, because you are definitely going to make a similar mistake again. If you are accepting defeat and you don’t want to learn, then maybe you are giving up on gambling, you want to stop gambling, but if you continue gambling, then you should learn from your mistake.

Well, I believe that accepting defeat is important in any case, but it doesn’t mean much if you don't learn from your mistakes repeatedly. In my previous experiences, just walking away after a loss without reflecting on why it happened may lead to the same negative patterns. Yes sure, accepting your loss helps with emotional recovery, but if you keep risking more than you can afford to lose, you are bound to get hitdown again. 

I think it's essential to develop self awareness and take a hard look at your habits. Learning to lower your risk exposure, setting strict limits and sticking to your budget ar key steps to becoming a more responsible gambler. Without these practices, you are not really improving yourself, you are just temporarily delaying the next downfall. Accepting defeat is only part of the process, the real growth happens when you analyze your mistakes and adjust your behavior.
Otherwise, you are just stuck in a cycle of losses, no matter how many times you accept them.
