You are on point with your advice. As a gambler, you are well aware of the potential income and risk of gambling. Stressing too much about your loss can really lead to depression especially if it is something that you have saves for a long time or is an allotted budget for something important. I know this is easier said than done, but there is no one else to blame but your self if you are driven by greed while gambling which resulted in a huge loss.

As a gambler, it's difficult to apply "learn from experience" because once you had gotten over your loss and gambled again the cycle would just keep going. At this point, you should stop and ask your self if you can afford gambling with such losses or not. You should also assess your self if you are really capable or even have a luck in gambling.

I tend to cry for a long time after loosing big and then take a long rest or maybe go out and have some movie time after loosing big in gambling. After that the next day I make my strategy on how to break even and make up for that big loss. But I always keep in mind that it's just gambling and losses come around it's no big deal, even if I won't be able to break even then also my life won't end here and I'll be having many opportunities in the future too.

Chasing losses is always be a bad thing because it would really just result into more further loss.This is why its important that
accepting losses and move one or call it a day.Dont force nor aim that you should break-even because most of the time
gambling are really meant for someone to lose unless if youre lucky then you would win some.

Overcoming losses wont really be that necessary if you are really not aiming for money. As long you do spend the
amount that you can afford to lose then it wont really be a big issue.
