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

[maydna]

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?

No, I don't have the feeling to return as soon as possible to win back my losses because I don't think that I will have a chance to win back off my losses. Even if I win, my winning still not bigger than my losses, so that makes me leave the gambling place, but perhaps, I will be back in the next days. But when I back in the next days to the gambling site, I don't try to win back my losses, but I only play gambling as usual. Gladly, I don't think about my losses, and I am trying to enjoy the games only.

Recover my losses i think it's normal because basically while gambling in the bottom our hearts we refuse to lost so if sometimes we lost in gambling then we always be so curious want to take our money back and i have done it before but unfortunately the results was very bad even i had suffering deep lost but currently it makes me realize we cannot push ourself to luck so if i'm lost then i will stop gamble and starting again for next days or if i have free money

About this question?

7. After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?

No if about question number 7, but I found other questions more appealing:

8. After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
9. Did you often gamble until all your money was gone?
14.   Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
15.   Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble, boredom, loneliness, grief or loss?
19.   Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?

I only answered "Yes" for these five questions, and thanks God I received this message:

Most compulsive gamblers will answer 'Yes' to at least 7 of these questions.

I'm safe... for now lol. It's nice to remind people how bad compulsive gamblers are, but I have the optimism that we could become a healthy gambler community here.

I think that is only natural for every person who gamble to try and get back the lost amount of money as soon as possible.However this is also a step which divides addicted gamblers from non addicted ones.The ones who has an urge to get back to gambling as soon as possible are the ones with the highest risk of becoming addicted while gamblers who prefer to lay down and think calmly are less prone to addiction.

[TheGreatPython]

Well its a human nature to feel that way, but I think the real question is can you refrain yourself for not returning back to recover what you have lost?

I must say for me when I am loosing money even though I can afford loosing that money without any hesitation I still feel like I should win back as soon as possible so yeah it's hard to resist no matter what we think or say.

Its better to play and enjoy it rather than thinking how you can get back your money because in the first place you should know that you can lose your money from the start.

It is amazing if someone can think like this but the fact is that we cannot think like that because the real "fun" in gambling is actually nothing but winning more and more money. That's the reason there is NO FUN in gambling with play money right?

I believe chasing losses is never a problem as long as you don't make extra deposits and bet more than you wanted to initially.

[Ailurophile]

No I only feel regret because I lose my money while I could have saved it and hold the BTC.
After I lose in gambling I don't really feel the rush to get back there I just feel more uncomfortable in gambling like it isn't really for me.
After I lose it would just keep goin in my mind that I would lose more if I continue to gamble.

But, losing money should be considered as loss while trading, do we ever try to cover up loss during trading?
I don't think many of us do that because we believe in our ability to bounce back with the next trade similarly if you are gambling and you have lost some amount then you must consider your loss like a bad day and just stop betting right then.

Next day when you start betting you must make sure you are not into the negative mindset again and surely you don't want to chase your losses. If you still feel that even after a few days of pause from gambling you still feel you should chase what you lost then surely you are into Problem Gambling.

It is pretty normal for anyone to aim to recover his/her losses. Being a gambler you would want to win right? so for sure every time we/you feel the same as your question that eager to play with more money and recover your losses. But this mentality is bad, why? because this is where greediness will kick in we will rush and pressure our selves to win more which will just cause us to lose even more. You need to have full control of your emotion as a gambler.

I think we should not return to gambling soon, after losing. When you lose in gambling, you become emotional and cannot make the right decisions. If you start another game right after the loss, you might take aggressive decisions which may make you another loss. Better is quit the gambling and come back another day with a free and fresh mind. This way you will be in a better position to recover your losses.

Nope! After I lost an amount that was given as a free bonus for joining, I just believed to withdraw all my funds and started choosing another form of gambling which was lottery that I could enter without investing much. Not much luck when it comes to dice games or even betting games. Have lost more than the amount I won.

[butcherme]

Yes and I think there is nothing wrong with it.
As a gambler we are aiming for the profit so I think it would be normal for us to feel that way when we lose.
The problem comes when you couldn't control yourself and always ends up sending money to play again.

[LogitechMouse]

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

It depends on the situation for me.

When I'm still gambling if I lose my money and I got some extra money in my pocket or my wallet, I will use it and then gamble again and the end result is still the same although there are time that I got lucky and got it back with some profits on it but most of the time I end up losing all of my money.

There are times that I feel it but most of the time, I don't have money to use in gambling so I end up not returning my losses. There is some regret in my side because of my losses but because of that, I learned how to stop gambling.

Whenever I am losing my way in gambling, and I did lose so much money , I will stop and break for awhile, in order for me to clear my mind and will ease the pain and frustrations to me, it really affects everything in me when I am not in stable emotion, so as far as I am not okay I will not yet get back what I have been lose.

Yes and I think there is nothing wrong with it.

And this is why we need to control everything, losing money is normal, being sad is normal and we need to have contended in our self so that we will not become greedy, because when we do, we might lose more in our game.

I'm safe... for now lol. It's nice to remind people how bad compulsive gamblers are, but I have the optimism that we could become a healthy gambler community here.

I feel the same because we have a lot of good topics here, not only about a certain game/s but also on the attitude in gambling.
We share problems based on our experience and how we come up with a solution to it, and that is a healthy discussion IMO, so I like this kind of topic.

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

I have full control of my gambling so my answers are no to all those questions but if a guy has 5 to 10 yes from all these questions, then he has issues on how he gambles and he needs professional if he has these symptoms for a long time and failed to address these issues then he will be in big trouble.

In gambling games there must be a feeling, like what you show on the screen, of course there must be, when experiencing defeat in a gambling fight.

Jumble between jitteriness and various kinds arises in the mind to do evil.
Basically every human being has common sense to consider betting again or stopping gambling.

[YuginKadoya]

Most gamblers would surely take the risk of getting into another bet if he or she would experience losing money towards it, I think that is so normal for a person to do, and we can call it nature for most gambler but in my opinion, I don't see everyone is doing the same,

Well, in my opinion, losses are part of winning as well you could gain experience every time you put a bet even if it is a loss or a win we are still gaining something, if not money I guess it will be an experience for someone to lose and not do the same thing again If I tend to lose a big one in gambling, I always want to forget that and rest for a couple of days before return into betting, So I tend to just bet a minimum amount so it will not be painful in losing it.

ya man, i been caught in that trap before   lose a bit, then feel like you ned to "make up for it"   it is a total trap tho, gambling dosent work like that
i just dont gamble now, its one of those things that you control nothing in, and can have dire consequences.    i can't take that kind of risk
plus, i have terrible luck, people with terrible luck should just not gamble generally imo
(then again, i did get into BTC when it was like 300$, so maybe my luck isnt THAT bad )

[DoublerHunter]

Look, those questions are considered as a reminder to all gamblers. While answering on it you can compare it to your self and probably it might be able to help you when there is something wrong about you. Most commonly answers are "yes" for me. But of course, every one of us has a different experience in gambling, because we are a human that sometimes had that feeling. Probably if you are gambler while reading the article's questions, you might be able to change your pathway in gambling if you did something wrong that might result in not being good in the future. We must look out sequences or the outcome might be happen

It all depends on how much the session exhausted me. If I still have the strength, and my loss happened only at the very beginning of the session, then it is obvious that I will have the desire to return as soon as possible in order to win back. However, if the situation is the opposite, where I lost at the end of the session, then I would rather go out and do not even want to think about the game until the next day.
