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

Whenever I am experiencing consecutive losses in gambling, I tend to stop for a while to strategize and think of the mistakes I've made from my previous defeat. If I am going to let myself be controlled by my urge to regain from what I lost, I would definitely end up losing higher causualties. I consider it as a huge mistake gamblers commit, losing self control can definitely end up giving you greater disappointments so be wise and smart with your decisions whenever you are gambling.

This is a part of the human nature. It applies not only to the conventional gambling, but also other forms of gambling like trading, or investing or even in real life situations. A trader would want to quickly recover from a loss quickly and this usually results in more losses.
A striker which misses a golden opportunity would be desperate to convert the next chance that comes their way.
This feeling if desperation makes one careless and should be controlled in order to be successful in gambling.

I think, people who think they have to return their losing money are very greedy, most of them are stuck with debt or selling personal items (because they only want to return their losses before).  I personally do not think like this, if I lose then I will stop and come back to play tomorrow and not always think that I have to return the losing money.

Sometimes there is an immediate urge especially if I lose a lot but if you keep doing and thinking this you are feeding your addiction to gambling, I finally learned to control this kind of urge because it will only harm me and makes me depress the whole day or night.

[Naida_BR]

When I lose i feel bad about myself.
I have a feeling that I am not successful as I got the wrong decisions that made me lose my money. However, this is an ordinary feeling it passes after some time and I don't feel that I have to return back my losses the soonest possible.

Yes, each gambler has a special way of getting excited during the loss!!!And the best if you control your feelings during gambling, And if there is definitely a loss of emotional control, we will suffer more losses  Personally, I don’t regret losing my bet because I can lose a little money and I don’t think about getting back the money I lost so I enjoy gambling!!!

[dothebeats]

Every one of us here surely experienced that at some point. If you say you don't, there's a huge chance that you're lying. There's a certain feeling of loss that accompanies an actual loss in gambling, and you feel the urge to get back what you lost even if the odds are completely against you. By doing so, thinking logically and rationally wouldn't be available for you, as you are only focused in getting back what you've lost and nothing else.

Perhaps it is within the human psyche to lose their self-control whenever they lose something. People do this not only in gambling but on other aspects of life as well, be it a lover, a job--literally anything else.

[rdluffy]

I think that thought is the most destructive when it comes to gambling.
The fact of trying to recover what you lost, as quickly as possible, leads anyone to lose even more and generate more feelings of frustration and loss.
The ideal, and what I do is to make a plan about how much I can bet, and if I reach that limit I should stop.
That would be the main rule to be followed to avoid more losses.

[hahay]

It depends on the situation because it is not always we have to quickly take back bets just to cover losses, because in gambling there will be different situations that require us to take a break or even there is a time with good situations we have to make bets again. Always control your emotions in this matter, because if you cannot control your emotions properly then you will only accept more losses and suffer more.

That feeling is very common in gambling and any other activity that puts money at risk like trading and while I can understand those feelings it is not right to actually follow those feelings and try to get your money back immediately, what you need to do is the exact opposite, you need to leave the casino immediately and think about what happened, why you lost that much money? Why you were carrying so much money with you to begin with? How can you avoid this situation?  And until you do not answer those questions then you should gamble again.

it's a normal human instinct and less of the person's character in general. We are hard-wired to feel frustrated, and everyone in the mammalian group feels this to when they aren't successful in carrying out their task. The frustration that we feel when we can't get what we want is there and it pushes us to come back and bet. This happens everytime, snd it saddingly messes the mentals of the player up. They tunnel vision and aren't good to judge at this stage, which causes even more frustration to the player and more losses. This had happened to me not only in gambling but in videogames too. Now, it is up to you on how you will react to this hard-wired frustration. Will you take the bait? Or will you calm yourself up. Either way you'd still be pushed to play the game anyway.

As I was saying, we can't just judge people's character over a bet. Not unless it is their life's that's on the line I suppose.

[Asuspawer09]

Regrets for sure if you lose a big amount and lose for sure that could be frustrating but if it was just a small amount surely it will not totally going to affect you.

But I think it is just being negative and positive at any time you could still make anything positive depending on your thinking sometimes when we lose what we think is this you be the end not thinking about the positive side of it.

[DarkDays]

You should always think very carefully when you've just bankrupted yourself.

Significant losses can cause players to make rash decisions that aren't properly thought out, such as betting the remainder of your bankroll on a ridiculous bet to recoup your losses.

Sometimes it's better to just accept your losses and walk away with what you've got.

Come back on another day with a clear head and better strategy, never let your emotions take over or you'll get ruined.

Not a good idea.

Even how hard it is, big or small, move on to every loss and start another day. The purpose is to always win as much as possible in every session, not to count all the losses we made in the past.

Instead, take that losing experienced as our reference to somehow avoid it the next time we do our gambling session. Where did we go wrong? What have we done that lead to losing? What else we need to improve?

Maintaining winning stats is the key, not to chase losses aggressively.

[vella85]

Of course most of us feel this way but that's when you must control yourself and not chase after losses. So many gamblers fall for this and try and make up losses but most times then not they end up losing a lot more and dig an even bigger hole then before. The best thing to do is walk away and take a break for a few days/weeks and even months after a bad loss or losing streak. Come back fresh and with a clear mind and put the loss behind you, try not to think about it too much, I know its hard but that's the way you can move forward. Not only with gambling but I also apply this to crypto as I could of sold at a certain time but didn't and lost but I move on as there are always more opportunities just like gambling to an extent.

I think this happens quite naturally and is normal in the case of most gamblers. I don't gamble much, so I can't say much about it from my point of view. But, I have seen users at the online casino that I usually play come back soon after they have lost a good amount of coins. Kinda feels like they are desperate to win back their losses. I have seen this to be true even for users that win a lot. They seem to come back again and try to win more. Some of them end up losing all their profit and then they try winning to back. Its like a cycle that keeps going on and on.

I will be safe here. I admit I do have a goal to chase back losses but NOT IN A SOONEST as possible. It's crazy to think like that. It's a suicidal move rather than a recovery move.

Recovery of losses will still undergo the normal process, normal betting, proper analysis, calm and relax mind. If we forced ourselves to recover losses within a short period of time, it will result in just more losses. The process will now be long before we can recover. But we have to take note that it's impossible to chase back all losses. What we need to do is to minimize losses so that our bankroll can take us in the long-run.

It may be difficult for others to try this but we will be used to it while we do gambling continuously.

[NavI_027]

That is normal I think, for sure every gambler feels the same way. But coming back over and over again after losing every single time is not healthy anymore. Your pride now eats you since you are manifesting that you can't accept defeat. It will only make your situation worse because impulsive actions like that will not bring you good things. As a gambler, learn to rest when you are having an unlucky day . Be patient!

[Clark05]

When I lost my money when after I play I feel yes that Im going to recover my lost or turn my money back but not sure it is only instinct or your prediction. Remember there is no player who really sure about what happened when they play gambling because there is only some possible outcome is either you lost, win or your money still same .

A player wants to always win because they don't want to lost their money because money is everything so once they lost it they have mind once they play again they think they gonna win .

[lienfaye]

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?

In my case it depends, if I have spare money to gamble again then I will gamble but not for the reason I want to chase back my losses. Its not a good mindset if you play because we know how risky gambling is and it can disappoint you once what you expected didnt happen. 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.
