How many times have you said "never again" after a huge gambling loss?

[Royal Cap]

To be honest, I play casino games more than sports betting. And since you can place small bets in casinos, even if I lose, it's not a big loss. But I once lost a lot in sports betting. Of course, that was a second bet for me, and it bothered me for a long time.
Since then, I don't do sports betting anymore.
Now I mostly play casino or slot games. And because I place small bets, I don't have any regrets even if I lose.

Around that time I said to myself that I was going to stop gambling and I did for sometime until I gained control back and then resumed gambling and up till this day I don’t think I have played like an addict again. I know this doesn’t really follows what you asked but it’s still part of those “never again” moment for me.

You're right some times we make quick decision to correct past errors while most quick decision is not Worth it, is just like what you said about your gambling habit of course when you see that things is no longer working According to your wish I mean ever since you started gambling all your experience was lose, lose, if they look at your bet history all they could see is losses no single wining. As a gambler once you find yourself in such situation, I'm sure that the best thing to do is to take a break for the main Time maybe to make some correction or think of going with a different strategy.

Any decision made during mental stress or financial mistakes will not be taken serious because the mind haven not been made up. Many gambler can say they will ko longer gamble anymore but after everything they will continue to gamble as they didn't make such decision from their mind. The only thing that a gambler can easily do is to take a break from gamble and continue after a week or some months.

I only know how to play sport game because I can predict them but I can not predict casinos games, those games only need luck to win. One thing I have discovered on casino games is that if you want to win you must follow your instincts and don't be greedy. Even some times our instincts fail us but you should gamble with little money so that when you lose you will not regret.

[virasisog]

Said it so many times and I still keeps on coming back after taking a break from gambling.
I could stop for awhile but I think I could never quit on gambling for good, we could never really say that we quit on it for real sonce we don't know what would happen in the future.

[Muba20]

Never again is a reoccurrent phrase in a gambling house. Any one who has been involved in gambling for a long time have said never again many times and still never quitted. Gambling is good but it is not a game for the weak or faint hearted. Some losses hit differently and behaves like it will make you crazy, but hell no. Once you get over the pain of the loss, you fall back to the board, that's how a gamblers life goes. I've said never again countless number of times and still fall back. Once you remember the number of times you've also won your tickets, you tend to try again. So there's no need wondering why people say never again and still get back to it, it's normal. Losses are painful, but once you get over it, you forget it all.

In gambling, I sometimes say to myself that if I win a big one, I will quit, but whenever I win, instead of quitting, I feel like gambling more. It seems that if I had gambled for longer, I would have won more. In the same way, when we get bored of losing repeatedly, we want to quit gambling, but very quickly, when we have enough money, we start gambling again. In this way, repeatedly quitting and accepting gambling is a natural process for some gamblers. If the gambler really wants to quit, he has to stick to his principles, otherwise it is not easy to quit gambling.

[GeorgeJohn]

One thing I like gambling is that anyone who is into gambling is determined that is why whenever they are losing in gambling they will still maintain the process of betting knowing that they have lost and there are experiencing a much losses in gambling, so any gambler believe that one day it must surely benefit from gambling and that is why you see many people who lost in gambling we continue pushing in the gambling in order to make a once winning

Someone who voluntarily stop gambling is somebody who has spent a lot in gambling without the benefit but anyone who has benefited already in gambling cannot because of three times lost in gambling and stop partaking on gambling.

We’ve all been there at some point, taking a big loss, feeling the regret, and telling ourselves “this is the last time.” But then, weeks or months later, you still find yourself placing bets, spinning the slots, or playing cards again.

Some people I know have been saying the same regrets for years, yet they’re still active gamblers until now. It’s like the regret fades once the urge comes back.

So I want to ask you guys:

1)How often do you end up regretting a big loss after gambling?
2) Does that regret actually make you change the way you gamble, or do you just move on and keep playing?
3) Could it be that regret itself is part of the cycle that keeps us coming back to gamble?

Curious to hear your stories.

This has always been happening to me and I really want to stop it, some gamblers tend to regret after losing a game and I now see that it is part of the game and it's what makes us to keep coming back. I always say never again to gambling but it seems like there's a spirit that keeps pushing me back or maybe it's just the love of gambling and watching the game, I have also changed my pattern of gambling and whenever I lose a game I just move on from it and still play again and again.

What i have noticed with addiction withdrawal or gambling break is that, anytime you said you want to quite gambling, that is when you get the most temptation to keep gambling, i have come to a point where i decides that, anytime i want to quite something the what i need to do is to make up my mind to quite outrightly.

This have worked for me when i was almost and addicts on stake casino, and even some lifestyles too, so dont say it; just do at once i know is not going to be easy anyways.

It is not easy to quit a habit that took a very long time to shape, I don't think that it can be abrupt, it is not everybody that have that exceptional strong will to just decide to quit and do it immediately. Some gamblers goes through different stages, they can tell themselves that it is all over after a big lose but after sometime they will come back to gambling again. I don't think that coming back is the problem but it is coming back to make the same mistakes that prompted you to make the decision to quit in the first place. If a gambler that quits after a big lose and finds himself coming back again but starts to gambling responsibly he should not worry about quiting permanently again.

[Oluwa-btc]

I started gambling responsible by having a gambling budget which I gamble with since that's the amount of money that I can afford to lose.

At this very point it's the duty of the gambler to take note of this habits and then put a stop to it entirely, but then there are certain gamblers that do set a gambling budget and still end up coming back for more. I think this varies between person's cause we all make different decisions but some lack the use in regards to applying it in every aspects of gambling.

Even in sports betting, you could have still place small size bet but I guess you decided to go big so that you can win a huge amount too, must have been a game you were too sure about? In sport betting, some days I could just stake with $0.5 in a parlay of few legs and lucky me could win $10 - $20 and if it's a day I don't have much funds on my balance and doesn't want to deposit, I could even use the $0.1 small left over balance to stake on a few games and get it doubled to $5. So, you can also stake with small amount on sports, just like casino games.

If you make more money from casino bets, you have no option than to continue betting on casino games since it's profitable for you. Once you find sport betting more difficult for you to make money, it's better you stay far away from it so you don't have to keep complaining about not getting winnings.

For those that have the priority to keep making profits often, they have to stick to good games that will enable their winnings and also looking for new games that can be good alternative for them so they can continue making profits from betting.

I probably haven't had any major situations that would make me so angry about gambling that I never wanted to go back. But gambling still took up a lot of my time when I was particularly passionate about it, and that's when I promised myself I needed to find something else to do and stop wasting so much time on it.
 Because sometimes at night, I wouldn't get enough sleep and would go to my job, which was very dangerous at the time, completely sleep-deprived, which threatened my safety and health.

To dedicate time is only normal if we have a passion for something else and this is not what you can say as time waster because for sure we get something valuable here in return.

Even by simply gambling for fun, can't also be said as time waster because we still had fun and released our stress onto it. But if you still think that it compromises other much important things such as your work, then you may need to cut back some time on doing the said activity. There is no need for you to cut it out completely.

I think that’s the downside sports betting has as opposed to casinos, you do get the opportunity to gamble on even cents but, it’s not the case with gambling on sports betting.

About how many times I’ve said no to huge losses, I can’t really put a number to it because, even though I know I shouldn’t gamble more than I can loss which I do advice it as well, there are times when, you just have that feeling about this one fixture to turn out positively and then boom, it’s a loss and another huge loss.

[Hispo]

I think I have only found myself to be in such uncomfortable situation twice, in which I needed to lie myself about the future an how I was supposedly going to change my habits in order not to lose money again.
Fortunately for me, I have been able to keep myself under control and realize every single penny I decide to deposit on casinos are pretty much gone from from the very moment they arrive the wallet of the the house.

To me, if someone is not able to quit gambling even if they have the intention and desire to do so, such person would be suffering from some degree of gambling addiction.

Who doesn't lose in betting? Ofcourse everyone loses in gambling but should always try our best to be able to filled in our side and be rest assured for big big winnings coming our way. We can't never stop gambling because it's more like side hustle that atleast keep some spare change in our pocket. We know it's not easy to be a gambling punter but it is what it is. You asked yourself if it's worth it to gamble with good amount? Remind you that you can only gamble when you have stable source of income and not entirely depending on gambling to revived or bounce back to life.

There have been quite up and down movement in our life but what can we say? We should be able to gamble and know exactly what we want and our targets accomplish.

But those small bets can grow in time.

In my case, it's the other way around. If my calculations and memory are correct, my losses mostly came from slot games and not from sports events. I can get back my losses in sports easily than it is with slot games, where we don't really have control, and the RTP can sometimes be so low that you won't be able to win back the money you gambled with all your deposits for the day.
Relying on just luck, even if you are betting small, when calculated for the whole day, there will be a time you will regret it too because of how large it could be.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I could even use the $0.1 small left over balance to stake on a few games and get it doubled to $5. So, you can also stake with small amount on sports, just like casino games.

I am a person who also thinks the same, for me in this case things should be taken calmly, so in this aspect it should be considered that betting with little money also works, it gives us more experience and makes us more skilled, take tricks, make better analyses, betting big is something that can make us lose a lot, I prefer to lose little than to win a lot and lose too much.

[SATWAT]

I've never gambled, so I don't have any personal experience with gambling losses or regrets. But I find it interesting how many people seem to get stuck in this cycle: even when they feel regret, they end up gambling again. It's clear that the desire to participate in the game is stronger than the regret itself.

I guess that this is the very first time that I meeting a person who never gambled in their life time but writing for this gambling board. Irony at its peak, right? Okay, let me get back to the topic, it is not interesting when people get stuck in the cycle but it is sad or alarming. And don't tell me you want to follow the same path too? Xd.

But you are always welcome here in the gambling world. Just have a strong self control and patience to avoid getting stuck as well . I guess that I cannot copy you for stopping my gambling all of sudden because I have been in a resolution to reduce my gambling hours but unfortunately I am not successful so far .
