Walk of Shame

[automail]

A lot of gamblers experience that. You are not a legit gambler if you didn't experience the walk of shame.  I saw a lot of people experience this and I don't want it to happen to me. What I am doing is to separate the money for daily needs and gambling. I will not gamble on the money that I needed, I will only use the money I can afford to lose. One of the gambling addict told me that and I practiced it ever since.

Mostly in casinos people walk in shame, though I experience this thing but I don't loss much. I think its normal for you to feel like this specially when you loss no matter what the amount is. Gambling is very risky, there's no easy way to earn it or if you earn at the end of the day you still lose it. Settings yourself on what to do can really help you, and prevent you from losing.

That's if you lost a lot but if you didn't, you should do the things that matters to you which is winning. If you have managed to do that then it's great. Having losses wouldn't mean the end of the world especially if you are aware of certain practices that makes you a better risk taker.

I have sincerely never experienced the 'walk of shame' but I have find myself in a situation where I gambled away all the money I wanted to use for important thing online. At the end, I had to run around looking for a where to get the money. In my own opinion, if one is not addicted and knows the limit, of their gambling behavior, one won't have to spend unnecessary. I know a friend who did the walk of shame even to the extend of spending money for hospital bills.

If a person has to feel sorry after doing an activity, then why doing it in the first place? And once he has done something, there is no need to feel shame about that until he does not do it again because feeling sorry won’t undo the actions. You lost money which was supposed to be spend somewhere more important on gambling. This is the reason why people advise to stay away from such an evil deed. Gambling is no good at all.

No, but  I was kind of expecting the outcome of your story because the worse will always happens to those who had lose their self-control on gambling. I hope that you recover because those memories will really hurt your pride.

Did anyone here have experience a walk of shame (Walking home since you have a loss all your gambling money in just one snap)? Well, It did happen to me once and I'll never do that again. It was the bad year for me (Peek of my addiction), I normally left my atm/credit card at home if I were to visit a casino and have enough money wih some changes for my stay, food, drink and my fare. The first time it happens to me is when I was so frustrated because I can't win up to point I already spent my allocated money for my fare. I was devastated that I need to go home at 3 a.m. with no money literally and I haven't got a phone in me (which make it worst). Started walking from the casino going home it was the longest walk I ever made I pity myself and upon arriving at home my wife and my kids are already awake, I just can't bare to look at them. I don't even know what to say at that point. I just walk in shame, in front of my kids.

How about you, have experienced it? We all have different interpretation on "Walk of shame".

Everyone had that bad day when everything goes opposite the way you wanted to, but i don't think gambling was a good choice for you in that situation buddy, you don't have the money you already feel like shit and yet you still go to the casino to gamble, if that isn't called addiction than i don't know what is, if you barely had enough money you should'v know better and went back home rather than making it worse with gambling.

[FlightyPouch]

I did experienced the same and it is really an experience that I don't want to do experience again. I walk a long way just to go home since I don't have any money to pay my ride home. It is a Walk of Shame at a bad day, that is not the only bad thing I've experienced that day, there is a lot of other things. I cn only say that it is just another bad day of the year.

I think it happened to me when I was in High School I lost all of my money in a bet ,
We played DOTA back then and we always manage to win but in a certain time we go to one of our School mates place to gamble and my team ended up losing .

If I were you, I would not consider that as a walk of shame, that's a great experience after all. High school days are the best, so you should consider it as one of your memorable and happiest days of your life(unless you hate to walk or you are doing it every day, then that's F* bad).

But that's embarrassing if you fail and at the same time your grades are failing too.

What a way to console someone who just had the worst experience of his life, but I like the angle and perspective you really brought it out though.

At least, he should look at the good side of it, but the unfortunate part is that there is really no good side to it. Walk of shame is a walk of shame and anyone who ends up having that kind of experience should sit down and rethink their life and the way forward. Good he did that.

I just want the guy to realize it and look at the positive side, who knows while walking, he found out something "Eureka" then the next day he plays better than the others. It is also a good stress reliever to walk after a stressful game.

But yeah, he should think about it if it is happening to him/her on daily.

Im glad it happened to me only in a mild way. My peers invite me to a card game that was only about for fun, but it didnt for me. I bet and get lost everytime until my last resort of money which is my transportation fare. Gladly, my home is about 2 kms away and i only lost small amount of money because im not prepared for the said game and have no money on my pocket then. I walked home thinking what the hell did i do, walked as fast as i could and pretend nothing happened.

Many people often claim that betting have more advantages over gambling. Yes I agree somehow is better than gambling but still huge risks are there. People need to understand that whenever you are encounter with many options, go for that one which is less risky. Betting is totally risky, as luck is involved. There are no technical skills involved in it hence you may get a big loss.

It is still gambling as far as I am concerned but it is reasonable that with betting you can still at least make use of some factors to your advantage. Nevertheless, everything still balls down on luck. Everything with gambling is risky and those who understand that risk and gamble anyway while keeping themselves in check will never experience a walk of shame like OP did, but I can bet so many people who have been playing on online casinos and posting on this forum that they want to make profit, some of them should have had a SLEEP OF SHAME one way or the other.

Didn't your peers lend you some money for your fare? I think it is a bit of stupid because you risk the fare you have to win a chance.

The fun you thought is a big mess in the ending.

Its better if you take it as a lesson.

At least he got a good exercise, lol. But in reality, you might be addicted to the gambling game knowing that you are still believing in the possibility of you winning in the game. We all know it's impossible to beat especially in the long run. We have to be smarter.

It's not impossible, but it's less likely that we win in the long run. That is why if you win in gambling, better quit while you are ahead. This is the problem of most gamblers, usually after a few wins and earning a small fortune, they think they are already invincible and they can empty the house. That is where they are usually wrong and end up in more losses than winnings.

This is a proof of two facts. Gambling is destructive and addictive. When a person starts playing and loses few games but has some money in his pockets, he has this hope of winning back all the money that does not let him leave the game on the right time.

It is just an illusion created by his mind due to the strong urge or need of winning. Most of people fight till the end especially when it comes to money. I hope, he has learnt a lesson from this mistake.

[coinplus]

No, I never experienced it. It should be a lesson for you and for all of us, when we go gambling to the casino, we can not carry too much money and "obligate" always leaves money for the fare home. You must be used to it, but under pressure, you end up using it to gamble again, and you know what the consequences are now? you do not have to stop gambling if you still want to, you just have to keep in mind that leaving a little money for the return fare is important.

It is really a lesson for everyone who gambles to try as much as possible to never get extremely into the whole idea of making so much from gambling that they will have to end up losing everything and not have the strength to control the impulse. What the OP did, if not because he listened to himself, a lot of people always end up in the shackles of addiction trying to recover from that point onward.

If a gambler starts feeling shame for being a gambler then he may find quitting ways. Until they realize themselves it may persist as a problem for them then leading a life within shameful environment may become inevitable.

I still do not know where people are getting the idea that mostly in casinos; people always end up having a walk of shame. Well, unless you are scared you are going to end up gambling your car, then you should have at least considered going to the casino with the car. Oh! That reminds me, gambling your car, can still make you end up walking the walk of death and not just shame alone. Jokes apart though, anyone who finds themselves in this situation should really go back and think about where they are driving their life to, as that always ends up bad.

Our this hope that gambling give us money back, that is a created for us a walk on shame. If we have loss then left it all, but mostly you will see gamblers try to play till the end of money, for winning something or he knows that he has a money to play the games. Then i think he deserve to walk on shame.
Because Why we play gambling till the end of our money? and Why we do walk with shame?

When I used to gamble with my friends. I rarely lose because I knew their reactions and facial expressions. However, I remember myself getting cocky. We bet on 500$. I thought that I was going to win at first. But when I lost, I was like "That is impossible...How did I lose when everything went smoothly and in my favor." I really got angry but I learned that I should never underestimate my opponent even if he always fails.

Overconfidence and arrogance clouds the mind of a person. One must avoid these two for his own safety and betterment. When a person starts thinking, he is perfect he stops being perfect rather improving. Besides, it is gambling we are talking about here. A game which outcome is decided on the basis of luck and there can be times when luck might not feel like helping us. That is why it is better to stay humble and much better to not lose 500 dollars this way.

I even wonder why anyone would want to be overconfident in gambling when it is not their father that owns the house edge.

As long as you do not consider the safety of your pocket and you want to gamble, it would be hard to control the impulse that comes with it and that is the main spot that ends up getting a lot of people screwed in the long run.

It is either you are in or you are out, and if you are fully in, you have the chances of messing yourself up and always walking that walk.

That was actually true and hilarious. Gambling is a decision that an individual makes out of his own free will. People become overconfident about their choice. Gambling is definitely not a game that can be learnt so becoming arrogant is pointless. Moreover, it is a game so many a times a person will come across failure and lose some money too. It is already known to all the players so losing a game is not anything to feel shame about. It is the part of any game.
