After losing did you feel you must return the soonest to win back your losses?

[kawetsriyanto]

The temptation to get our money back after losing is natural as a human, we tend not to accept it instantly after losing.

It's pretty correct. That's why we need to make a plan before we gamble to minimize the feeling. One of the possible things to do is to limit the amount of money. Never gamble with all your funds, use the extra money only. So, even if you lose, it is not in a big amount of money. Then, you won't think too much about it.

I'm lucky enough that I can control myself

Yes, you are lucky. You must maintain this good nature. Having good self-control will be very helpful to avoid greedy or emotion in gambling. Most gamblers get severe losses because of unable to control their selves. But you can handle it, means you are a smart & strong gambler.

Yes all the time, when we lose something important we might felt some kind of emotion to get it back that's why. It's better not gamble with money you may need in the future because you tend to be very emotional that clouds your judgement even after having a losing streak. So the end result, is you tend to loss more or get bankrupt.

I have issues with those that have that kind of view, when you gamble you are paying for entertainment in the same way that you pay to see a movie or pay for a video game so I do not see where people get the idea to get their money back, if you gamble that money away then you should see that money as gone from the very beginning, this way you will only bet what you can actually afford to lose and you will have no temptation to try to recover it by gambling some more.

It always happens to me too, so maybe it is pretty natural after all. After losing emotion of us is taking over us, mixed frustration and the desire of revenge. But I'm lucky enough that I can control myself coz others can't ans leas to some compulsive disorder. The temptation to get our money back after losing is natural as a human, we tend not to accept it instantly after losing.

The revenge feeling is the worst thing happened in gambling session way back in 2018, I have learnt these lessons in a hard way, unfortunately. After losing the 20% of bankroll, that frustration tempts us to make a few more bets in order to reach the break-even point but it goes deeper until the session results wipe the balance. Human nature is the specific path for the same consequences happened over and over.

Just keep the emotion because many players faiked because they are apply their emotiok before and after playing gambling. Like when they losing money they habe mind that they need to get back again what they lost so the effect they play again and another lost will happen to them.

I found it as one of the most interesting question from this article. http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions

Do you guys have that kind of feeling when you are losing in gambling?

It is but natural to feel that way and that's the temptation to lose control and a step to become a compulsive gambler, one of the habit and motivation that you need to develop is to let go when it's time to let go whether you are winning or losing, some gamblers problem arises when they do not know when to stop, they keep hoping.

[LogitechMouse]

I felt it. Many times already when the time that I really want to gamble everyday and every time I lose, my body and mind tells me that I should go back again and gamble to win back my losses.

I have experienced it but fortunately, I learned how to stop myself from thinking like that because if I continue doing that I will be addicted at one time and it will be hard for me to stop anymore. I know that some of the gamblers here have experienced it too but unfortunately for them, they got addicted already and they will do any way that they can just to get back their losses if they lose.

Doing revenge gambling is a very bad move but a gambler especially an addicted one will gamble and gamble until they don't have money left.

Yes, that is natural happen to you and other gamblers too. As long as we can control the emotion, and we can prevent frustration, I think we can prevent ourselves from coming back to win back our losses. We have to realize that in gambling, everything can happen, and we need to prepare the worse thing that might happen to us. You are lucky because you can control yourself whenever you win or lose, so you don't have to worry about the loss because you don't think that playing gambling can help you to make money.

now, here is the thing: is it possible to control emotions?
it's defnitely possible to control reactions, but not sure if emotions.

in any way: meditation and discipline helps a ton.

That is a good point. You can't control not feeling sad, angry, happy or afraid. All that is in human nature. But you can and you should control how you react and what you do in those situations.
It is up to you to decide if you will cry when you are sad, hit someone when you are angry, or gamble harder to prove a point or out of anger.

Yeah it is a very natural feeling and almost all gamblers went to the same feeling.

We want to take back our losses as much as possible but to those who have tried it, only few succeeded with it. Letting go of the losses for that moment will make you become relax but as soon as you realize that you want it back.

You will think of it to quickly win it back.

It is possible. Controlling emotion will be possible but will depend on how you can control yourself. Not just in gambling, I guess, but in another field too. Imagine you feel angry because of one thing, and if you can handle yourself and can calm down in the next minute, then you can control your body and mind. Doing meditation and discipline will help you to control yourself. You need to search for yourself how to control yourself.

I think we feel the same, when loss must take revenge and when get profit should get bigger next day, that's human can't deny. Loss create panic and emotion this situation will make you create bad decision, specially about your financial. Every gambler need rest time to evaluate his method, if enough they should stop, the key is disciplines.

Certainly I feel the same way whenever I'm losing in gambling however everytime it also happens, I tend to stop myself from trying to recover my loss the same day I cause that to happen. Most likely if I urge to get back what I've loss, I'll lose more and my control wouldn't be managable the same way as I do when I just started gambling earlier. It's a good practice to just keep yourself from gambling after losing then go back on the nezt day for a better mindset and control.

Many of us feel the same, but not all of us come back because of our losses, and some of us stop playing gambling because we know that does not give a chance to win. I agree that we need to break for some time so we can manage ourselves, we need to reduce the tension inside us, so when we come back, we don't think to recover the losses, but we can play the games and have fun.

If we can always do that, we don't need to chase the win and recover the money that we already lost. Losing the money in gambling is what we need to pay, and we should realize that we don't need to try to get it back.

[Questat]

Big upsets happened again in last nights games.

Minnesota beat the Pelicans, they were +11
Brooklyn Nets beat the Celtics, they were +6.5
GS warriors beat the Nuggets, they were +16, and Warriors won by 16 points, wow!

             No mattet how proficient your skills are, there is no guarantee you will win back all your losses. The probability of losing more than you win by taking revenge matches is greater than 50%. Using some unorthodox strategies to win gambling is okay, but you need to step back sometimes and sort yourself out before continuing. I'd rather not overplay gamble than losing more than what i have intended to lose.

[Fappanu]

If this is your mindset I think you will lose more always because this mindset is greedy. Much better to accept your losses and stay calm always especially when you gamble again so that you will recover your loses and win again. Because if you always think that you will win when you play gambling again this will distract you and you can't do your strategy because of this.

You are right. I don't try to overplay it too because I already got a bad experience before in the past. I don't want to get the same things for now. I am trying to calm down myself whenever I get lost, and I don't try to return in the games because that can give me more losses. Taking revenge matches will only give big losses, and that can give us a sad, more profound. When you don't want to get bigger losses, then you should stop gambling, and don't try to recover your money if the situations are not good.

I think this is not good mindset because gambling don't have strategy you gamble money to be luck that's why accept when you lose and play again if you feel you are lucky. And don't always think that you will recover your losses and win because that will give you disappointment only.

Every player has his own perspectives when it comes to gambling. Sometimes the pressure of playing again after losing is always there because we have the urge to win back our losses. Unless, you don't have money to play again. But deep inside in our minds, if we can get back that money, we will stop. I guess, that's human nature. But in actual scenario, winning is not always a thing so we have to accept that we will lose more often because we are talking gambling here.

Yeah, the pressure will always be there, it is called gambler's psychology, but also this is apparent in humans throughout history, whether or not it is on the casino table, we always gamble with decisions. Trading especially demonstrates this. You keep losing, and you feel that you have to earn back the money and you cannot possibly lose more right?

But you do!
