How would you feel if you lost 50 btc after gambling... https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/92ff9f2dmRCeSttM0U0a1dPZ0tTSDd4OW4vZz09/r/2744 What's the biggest loss you've taken before, and do you have any good coping strategies? I do wonder if it's better or not to express anger or to just try and ignore it as best as possible. Personally I just get angry and yell some swears, but curious how other people react when losing and any tips on coping.

According to the link he lost 50 btc and if its happen to maybe it makes me angry.. honestly i lost many times and i think all my lose are around 2-5 btc.. but its a small amount every day play with some bonuses and sometimes i just deposit to get the wagered but it turn to lose..
50 btc for me its a lots of money if you convert it into fiat.. or you can double the value of that 50 btc after block halving..
We can called it bad luck.. Maybe the the bettor is rich thats why he can bet like that or he is old bitcoin user..

If i loose some similar amount of bitcoins, i will feel very angry. But i didn't expect loosing big because i only play small amounts, my bigger loosings are 0.05 or 0.10 bitcoin bets.

When you gamble with amounts of 50btc then hopefully you can afford to lose. Personally I should never bet such amounts even when I could afford it. Sometimes you think it will be a 100% hit but that is not always the ways it go.

he probably has a bank of 200 + BTC. i highly doubt anyone would blow their whole bank on one bet.

If I were to lose as much as 50 BTC then I'll throw my computer out  Cheesy I think the way it was quite satisfying my emotions
but if I really have 50 BTC I would not use to bet with 1 bet I will place some bets.
by the way what makes you confident with that bet ? if you buy tips from someone or just a hunch?

For me, 50 BTC is not worth trying on sports betting, unless u have some special knowledge about that bet event. I'd better try it martingale on some dice or similar random number based site.

If I lost 50 btc, it would only mean that I had a big enough bankroll to have lost that amount without it bothering me. In other words, if you have a gambling bankroll of 5,000 btc or so, losing 50 btc isn't a killer loss.

Exercise proper bankroll management and your losses essentially won't mean anything to you. And as always, never risk an amount that should you lose it, will make you upset.

50 BTC is about the same as my college expenses for an entire year. I could not imagine putting a year of college on the line. Just a huge amount to risk. Obviously, there are people who are more affluent and can afford such bets. I, however, am not one such person.

That is alot to bet on one game. It was the OKC game where they won? I know alot of people lost alot of money on that game but that was probably all their bets combined.
You should give on betting as once you start losing you will always go down that path.
Better to cut your losses now so it does not cost you anymore in the future.

the good thing that the player didn't lose that amount on dice lol
in general you can't judge on the results , maybe he is a professional gambler and don't forget that gambling has variance
if I won something like 2000 BTC in my career I would feel nothing about losing 50 BTC , cause your avg win is what matters in gambling not the daily results

is it your betslip? sorry to hear that if so , that was pretty big amount you gambled there.
i believe you have won several times with this kind amount bet before right? you think you can win everytime but it is not.
last year i experienced something like this , gambled allin on soccer feeling lucky 3 times always win and when hit 4 times i lost all previous winning and just regret it. no angry just regret!

Ouch, 50 BTC lost... I don't think the better would actually mind a lot though (sorry if it is your bet), but most whales usually have a large bankroll to bet with (Maybe 500+ BTC). It would suck if the person went all in or something. Whenever I lose a bet, I usually just go "whatever" and I don't really care that much, because I only gamble what I afford to lose. On the other hand, if someone was addicted to gambling, they would probably rage a lot and swear at it.

Must be so sure the team he bets are going to win. same thing happen to me when i bet for ronda rousey during the fight with holms and i lose about $160 its not so much but still I regret it up to these days.  Grin I wish i bought the hard drive i've been meaning to buy with such amount.

hope he isn't married with kids indeed.
