If You Win Big Will You Remember Your Losses

[Darker45]

Although this does not apply to all gambling games. I think it would be boring if someone wins and he simply keeps it to himself because if his friends know they would probably ask for a few bottles of beer. Sometimes a win, especially if big, calls out for a little celebration and it would be awkward to ask your friends to chip in because as far as your computation is concerned your total loss is still bigger than your win. LOL.

how about you do you remember your losses when you win a big amount and do you calculate your losses and ask if the winning is worth it?

I don't usually keep tabs on losses and wins while playing casino games. I used to earlier but that often led to keep up gambling more trying to build up better stats ....and gambling in long run you know which way it goes so it never worked out for me and I made it out of habit now.

Nowadays I just keep some parlay bets from sports book which I won beating some good odds.

I think you should start learning to do that. I was once like you, never paying attention to my loses or keeping records until the day I noticed the money I had kept for something very important was all gone and the only place it could be traced to was gambling. I felt very hurt and I mean really hurt because if I was keeping records I would have known earlier that I have exceeded my limit.

I later won big after my loses anyway but forgetting the losses made wasn’t something so easy to do. I think we would eventually forget at the end but it might take long, not necessarily after winning but after healing from the loss experience.

I have a friend who wins 15,000 pesos or $300 the first time keno games in an offline betting outlet, he is so happy and very ecstatic about his winnings, I congratulate him and ask him how long before he hit the jackpot, he told me that it took him 7 months and he is betting daily at 100  pesos or $3 so his losses are bigger than winnings.

But surprisingly he did not calculate his losses all he cares about is he finally wins, how about you do you remember your losses when you win a big amount and do you calculate your losses and ask if the winning is worth it?

Most gamblers have the same mentality. No gambler records or even takes note or make a journal of their daily winning and losses to keep track of their winning or losses. For gamblers, winning is everything no matter how much money you have lost before, I guess that would not matter as long as you are winning or you had hit a jackpot.

Each has its own threshold of loss, which is considered to be insignificant. And if I play to this amount, I don’t remember this event at all. Having lost this amount, I consider it as a payment for entertainment.

It depends how big the win is.If you just win an accumulator like a ticket with 10 games and you win for example 0.5 to 1 Bitcoin it is surely a big win but it is not enough to forget my lost money because I have lost a whole more money by gambling.This is a great consolation prize as I can start to recover with that but I cannot easily forget my lost money.

Ticket wins aren't memorable although it's still giving that feeling of relief that you have won.

And winning such amount from the example that you have given will be remembered though but the point is when you have won that much, you will also calculate your losses and extract on how much you've won or break even with that winning.

Yeah "amount" that will remind you of the profit or losses you get. the greater the loss you get, the more you will remember the loss.
even I still remember the sad loss I felt a few years ago, because of the big of the loss that I suffered.

How much that lost you've made? there were amounts that we hardly forget because it's already on our minds.

But when something big comes in, you will have to remember both of them. Sometimes, those big losses can be forgotten for a while but at random times you will remember them all of the sudden.

You cant really able to forget into those things which you had been experienced in the past specially if that one made or do make feel you the worst or stressful.

You will eventually think off it automatically and it cant really be avoided but there were gamblers that doesn't care too much on whats in the past and the past and they are
trying to move on and enjoy on whats being currently been experiencing.

Of course, I will remember the losses and calculate them. I think we cannot say it is a big win if there are still more losses. Even though, it cannot return the money we spent for months. So, how can he feels very ecstatic about the winning?

But I don't think if your win will bigger than your losses because if he calculated, I think you need more win to cover your losses. That will make sense if the gambler finally wants to continue to playing gambling because they want to get another winning plus they want to cover the losses.

I am sure no matter who he is, pro gambler or new gambler if they can get the win, they will be very happy. No matter how much the money he can win, he will feel that the moment will be the greatest moment in his life. He will never forget that moment for the rest of his life.

we don't need to remember our loss, but it is better if we can know how much our loss so we can prevent to get more losses in the future. Besides that, we can know that playing gambling will only give us losses because we don't know when we can win the games. When gamblers can win some money, they will forget that in the past, they are losing so much money before they can win. And if they can realize that, perhaps they will think twice to continue playing gambling and risk more money in gambling.

Or if they want to play gambling, they can play with small money, and if they can win again in those games, they will consider that is because of luck, and they need to leave the places.

I personally think, there’s no amount of money we will that should make us forget the past loses no matter how small it may be. Those loses puts us in check towards the next games ahead and also we appreciate the game the more.

Although there are some very big win, that once the alert hits the phone, it will automatically erase all the loses ever experienced in gambling lol, I will be glad if I can hit this kind of jackpot so I that I can have the feelings of forgetting my loses. But for now forgetting the loses I have encountered in gambling is one thing I consider impossible for the rest of my life, most times I win, I would first of all remember what I have lost and then realized, I haven’t really made much.

Losses are only remembered till the time we have recovered those losses or we have believe that lost is not recoverable so we forget it and move on. If we win big, in which our previous losses are recovered, there is nothing more good than this. If this happen i will surely forget about my losses and start again with all my money back in my money bank.
However we should always remember root cause and learn from our losses, so that we won't repeat the same mistake again which caused those losses.

Depends on how you look at a big win, for others increasing their starting bankroll by 2x-5x  would be a big win.

I agree he won't recover all of what he spent but winning a lot of money for once will always give you that positive feeling because it doesn't happen to most gamblers only a few get the chance to win big.

no one will forget what they lost in the past and will make the lost as a motivation to get better in the future. But if that is happening in gambling, I think some people can forget their losses even if they lose big, especially if they can win big money in gambling. They will be easy to forget the lose because now they can have more money again from gambling.

That will happen too with other people if they can win big or hit the jackpot because they will celebrate it if the money is already they got. The losing money will be our part of our life so it cannot be forgotten in the rest of our life. But we need to try to forget the losses and learn from the losses so we can prevent more losses in the future.

I think we all know the importance of letting go but there is just this impossibility of letting go even when we understand the necessity. The truth be said, it hurts to lose, it pains to let go and winning money is never enough to heal this memory but like they say, time heals all wounds.

So for me, even when I win, I always have that record of what I have lost stuck in my memory. This might not help me to recover or even help me win, but it always stays as a reminder that something is gone out of me that would have been used for better things and even after I win, I just feel like what I got in return is not enough to compensate for the loss.

And if I really win big, as in big that I don't have to work anymore and just retire with my winnings, I will forget my losses and move on with my life. And I will leave my gambling habits also, change lifestyle as I already have the money to live a lifetime and grow that money not in gambling anymore. Look for a better option of investments. We don't have assurances in gambling so look for a better one this time.

Letting go will be hard, but we must try it. If we cannot let it go, then we cannot move on from the loss, and it will make us regret it. So no matter how hard, we need to keep trying. Sometimes when we can win big money, the sad feeling can heal the memory although it will never disappear in our heart.

That is good, and you can remind that in the gambling games, you are difficult to win the games and that will make lose so much money. That will be your lesson to always aware of the loss of the money in gambling so you can try to manage your money.

Only few lucky gamblers who will be given an opportunity to win over the house. It will surely be forgotten once you get to that point in time that you have that priveledge. Those previous loses will not come up inside your minds thinking that you will enjoy the satisfying moments that happened to your gambling activities.

Everything will be on the current events that gives you a good outcome.  It will erase those bad streaks that happened before with your gambling activities.

I am so perplexed at some of the comments I read here, I really find some things weird. What exactly is the difficulty in letting go of a loss. What is lost is already lost and I believe it should never be remembered, with or without a win.

I think a lot of gamblers that are so bent on holding onto a loss are used to playing more than they can afford, because for someone like me who is always prepared to loses even before it comes, I don’t think it should be a problem. I will definitely be glad when I win a game and obviously never remember I once suffered loss in the same game.

it's not weird to remember each of your loss in gambling while you ended in profit. It's actually just a normal thing in all people's mind, including you. You must be at least even only for once, remembered your losses before and wanna try to recover it. There is no one people like losing their money even though they can afford it

NOPE it’s not normal to remember in the time of winnings because that moment is time of celebrating,and we usually remember than loses when we lose constantly when we reminisce of all our failures then we also find ourselves thinking what we done wrong why we end always losing and sometimes it comes that we also think of quitting

But looking back our losses when we are in winning is too far from reality and that’s what we always do,enjoying ,celebrating and being happy atleast for that specific time before losing again in the following days

Basically that's the mindset of every person who don't value their effort during the pressures of gambling probabilities of winning. When you're happy you won't be able to think the past frustrations, that's why you're just enjoying the lucky winning moments.

It is not really that surprising, it is known that people regret and remember the opportunities they have lost a lot more than the positive results they get out of the opportunities that they took advantage of, it may seem odd but it makes sense because the next time you face a similar situation you will be more inclined to try to take your chances out of fear of reliving the past and making the same mistake again, if you have been able to conquer those thoughts then I congratulate you because that is not something easy to do at all.

Many gamblers will not think about the frustrations that happen in the past, especially if they win in the gambling. People will easy to let it go because they were now making some money and finally, they can enjoy the winning moment. Some gamblers can just stop after they win and cashout the money so they can enjoy their win money with friends.

Perhaps, we need to set our mind to stop from gambling if we win the games so we can refresh our mind, we can take a break for a while, and we can enjoy the money to buy something. That will be good if we can share the win money to buy some food with other people.

I began to ask, is your friend a professional gambler,
a professional gambler will certainly calculate the losses that have been obtained,
even if we win 100k usd if we ever lose 200k usd then we can't be happy first, because by counting we are still losing.
