[DISCUSSION] How to overcome a big loss in gambling?

[Nellayar]

Every gambler really knows the risks that we take in playing online casino. Some of us ended in a great stress because of losing a lot of money in gambling. But because we are enjoying the games specially the slots, we always pulled by our desires to play again. I made this thread to give some tip to overcome a big loss in gambling.




Let assume that you lose worth of 3,000 USD in gambling.

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.

3. Turn your attention in other activities

We need a new refreshing activity that will unwind our feelings. Get up and have some fun activities because you will gradually recover. I don't know if it works with other but everytime I have problems in my computer or I lose money in gambling. I stay away from it in few hours, I play basketball and other stuffs. After that, I conclude and realize some of my mistakes and how can I come in solution.

If you just in front of your computer even you do some stuff, there is always temptation that you need to play more. And if that so, number 2 in the list will happen.

4. Read more strategies in playing that game or assess your past performance

I know that whatever you do, you will not escape the temptation of gambling. It always attract our desires to win again. But before you play again, realize everything why do you defeat before.

Have you been a greedy in placing bets? Did you always feel positive with your cards? Did you underestimate the game? Realize everything and make sure that you must have your new strategy to win the game. But take note, it isn't an assurance that you will win this time.

5. Just enjoy your future games

Who cares if you lose? As long as you release your stress. Don't make the gambling as your job, because if you will push to win, you will become greed. Bet only the amount you afford to lose. Just like trading, if you need your money more than you want. Stay away in gambling. If you deposit bitcoin in online casino, assume that it will burn.


The bottom line of this is that, don't make gambling as your passive income. Remember, gambling can make you a millionaire but it makes you also poor. Just make it for entertainment so that there are no regrets if your bitcoin burned.

I know that the example is really exaggerated, but there are gamblers lose that much. And the only thing that I have seen, they can't really handle their loss. But don't worry, after a rain there is always a sunshine.

I am always open for opinion and discussion.
Goodluck in your bets.

$3000 amount is either big or not, depending on where a certain person do lives but its unlikely to happen that someone do reside on a 3rd world country would spent out 3k all in with gambling.
If that thing happen to me then i would say that would really give out a big problem but it would depend if that amount is either a life savings or came from a loan.The most important thing is that
you should learn into that mistake that you had done because if not then you would still repeat the same process all over again until you do entirely mess up your own entire life.So dont wait for that
situation to happen into your life and start to change up your views towards gambling.

[Pmalek]

Your example isn't over exaggerated. I know and have heard of local people from my immediate surroundings who are real sickos when it comes to gambling. The first thing they do when they pick up their paycheck is going to the casino. What remains is spent on food and essentials.

An old acquaintance of mine gambled away his father's private business on poker with people you shouldn't mess with. A man I don't know personally, but have met a few times in my life, lost his restaurant, apartment, marriage, and his family because he valued Slot machines more than anything.

The unhealthy approach of gambling with money and things you can't afford to lose leads to irreversible actions. Once people understand that gambling should be a fun periodic activity, they'll be better off.

[fortunecrypto]

Number one is the best advice manage your emotion this is the hardest thing to do, because the temptation is always there to continue playing until you exhaust everything, your emotion, your funds almost everything, the first thing you should learn when coming in a gambling site for the first time is to manage your emotion, if you can manage that you manage everything, and even your funds the most important thing to manage.

[Nellayar]

$3000 amount is either big or not, depending on where a certain person do lives but its unlikely to happen that someone do reside on a 3rd world country would spent out 3k all in with gambling.

Nope, don't underestimate third world countries bro. Gambling makes people craze. The more you entertained the more you want to spend your money and time. I came from third world country, but I can say to you that in my country people are gamblers. I have known people who lose more than that, to take note they did not came from an elite family.

Snip.

Just like what I've said, many people are really sick in playing gambling. And if it is habitually do, it leads to addiction. I also have neighbours even right now that gambled their money during lockdown. They don't care if they lose just to feed up their wants. In the end, they have been arrested because they caught in act. It is really a lose-lose situation for them.


It doesn't matter the value that you have lose, it matters how will you overcome such loss and be fun again!

This is the worst experience one could go through and i have only heard about these wrecking machines who goes to any limit to gamble and i usually wonder why would anyone from the family help them get medication for the addiction.

The unhealthy approach of gambling with money and things you can't afford to lose leads to irreversible actions. Once people understand that gambling should be a fun periodic activity, they'll be better off.

If you are gambling for fun then it is the most enjoyable thing and you need to have a budget you burn every year, if not gambling will put a hole in your life. I gamble but only spent a limited budget every month and i will not gambling more to recover my losses which is the biggest mistake for every new gambler.

Nope, don't underestimate third world countries bro. Gambling makes people craze.

Addiction does not have any limitation and i am sure the global gambling industry which includes illegal gambling houses make much bigger turnover than the mainstream markets. People who are poor might see gambling as a way out of it and might spent more money trying their luck.

[GreatArkansas]

5. Just enjoy your future games

This is very important. Just like what others said; "Not everyday is your lucky day". I also experienced this, I lost for this day I stopped and take a rest. On the next day, I won and stop because I already in profit. It's like controlling ourselves. That's why sometimes if I don't gamble or I am busy, I am withdrawing my Bitcoins on the gambling website so I will not be tempted to play, it's one of the ways how I handle myself, yet it is effective.

[dentolas]

I think that after a big loss you should take a deep breath, and consider it exactly how it is (a loss) and move on, never try to regain the value that has been lost by gambling because this will eventually lead to more loss and complete desperation... a good trick is to think about this loss like when you crash your car and have an expensive repair ahead, or when your girlfriend runs away with your money... you just have to move on and think about other stuff...

5. Just enjoy your future games

Who cares if you lose? As long as you release your stress. Don't make the gambling as your job, because if you will push to win, you will become greed. Bet only the amount you afford to lose. Just like trading, if you need your money more than you want. Stay away in gambling. If you deposit bitcoin in online casino, assume that it will burn.

This is the most important thing for me to enjoy gambling with full entertainment because I am here playing gambling just to get rid of stress and boredom so I know the risk of what will happen later.

If you lose because you are accustomed to knowing how much capital you have to spend on gambling, I think they are still in control of such conditions except addicts, so if winning with gambling is a fortune when you get rid of the boredom of playing online casinos at home.

Gambling really always makes me happier and doesn't make my main job.

[The Cryptovator]

Well write to overcome big loss. But you should know writing proverbs is very easy but it's quite difficult to follow. All humans brain isn't similar cool and fortunately everyone have different structure. That's the main prevention to overcome big losses. When a gamblers lost funds then first thing he set a target to recover his lost fund. If somehow recover then he will be greedy again, or if he lost again then he will try continuously to recover lost funds and that's how peoples become addicted. So it's quite complicated strategy, but I have to admit if someone follow what you wrote then likely its possible reduce loss.

[kotajikikox]

Let assume that you lose worth of 3,000 USD in gambling.

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

Managing that Big loss is not that easy specially if the money involved is from your daily living and not a excess money to spare for gambling,this will surely ruin your life if does happen because your family will blame you and the pressure is always there.

2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.

This mostly called "Chasing Losses" and the most stupid way for gamblers to deal because the more you eager to win is the more losses will come to you.

[Tipstar]

And don't keep a tab of your loses. The coins you lost are gone, don't pressure your gambling habits including them in your gambling balance sheets. The coins you lost in 2013 are not equal to the same coins now. Don't keep on looking your past bets but come to your base bet. When you gamble, make a bankroll according to your bankroll and never exceed it. Even if you have money, you need to stop your martingale if it goes above your gambling budget.

[South Park]

Your example isn't over exaggerated. I know and have heard of local people from my immediate surroundings who are real sickos when it comes to gambling. The first thing they do when they pick up their paycheck is going to the casino. What remains is spent on food and essentials.

Events like that are not very common because most people are able to control how much they gamble, but once you have become addicted to it you're going to do everything to keep playing and if that means sacrificing everything that you have then most addicts will do it, in my opinion one of the easiest ways to avoid this fate is to set up a weekly or monthly budget to your gambling activities and once that money runs out you exercise the needed discipline to avoid gambling with the rest of your money, if you can do that then you will never have to regret or to overcome a big loss when you gamble.

[onrise]

And don't keep a tab of your loses. The coins you lost are gone, don't pressure your gambling habits including them in your gambling balance sheets.

When you gamble, make a bankroll according to your bankroll and never exceed it. Even if you have money, you need to stop your martingale if it goes above your gambling budget.

I think that having the balance sheet of profit and loss in gambling is necessary unless you are just occasionally gambling and that too was just for pure fun. Then it is fine as once a while you gamble and for fun, so you are always in a limit. But if it is regularly and also to make money out of it, one should know the status every month end if you are more on the losing side or making any profit as well and accordingly need to take further steps. Also have seen people after they are realizing their losses once they keep a track, they decide to quit from gambling daily.

[ReiMomo]

All the tips that were mentioned above by the OP are true and could really help everyone who plays gambling.

In addition to that acceptance is also a key in overcoming big loss in gambling, if you are able to accept all the pros and cons equals the consequences of gambling then you may not even experience depression in the end for you will always be prepared on the outcome of each gambling session.

For me, I'm not a big fan gambler though I find gambling really entertaining but when I enter either online or physical casinos I'm always prepared for the outcome win or lose I will never think that it could possibly be a passive income to me somehow as I  always do it with limitations that will not hurt me at all if I lose at the end of the day.

3. Turn your attention in other activities

We need a new refreshing activity that will unwind our feelings. Get up and have some fun activities because you will gradually recover. I don't know if it works with other but everytime I have problems in my computer or I lose money in gambling. I stay away from it in few hours, I play basketball and other stuffs. After that, I conclude and realize some of my mistakes and how can I come in solution.

If you just in front of your computer even you do some stuff, there is always temptation that you need to play more. And if that so, number 2 in the list will happen.

Its like giving yourself a time to clear you mind first of what just happen and then come back equipped with solutions in mind. I have several problems myself that i encounter online specially the jobs I get on job sites. I tend to read some tutorials and when nothing gets into my mind, I will first go out, talk to some friends or take a coffee break outside.

[DoublerHunter]

^ Most of the gamblers that can read this article will definitely appreciate you because everything that was mentioned can really help people who have undergone the same experience like depression and be able to cope up and recover from any negative emotions they are suffering. The article can also help anyone who might possibly suffer severe effects on the outcome of gambling. To add something about the article that might also help is by knowing your limitations in gambling prior, during, and post, we should all be aware of when we need to end gambling or until when we can continue gambling.

[akhjob]

@Nellayar I believe the most important and basic thing to avoid the stress caused because of losing is to gamble with the spare money you are willing to lose. If you are gambling with your spare money even if you lose, you won't feel any stress. Stress strikes only when you lose money which you cannot afford. The money which you can't afford to lose should never be used to gamble.

[desticy]

First you need to understand why a big loss hurts you so much.
The answer is simple - you play for the money to which you are emotionally attached.
You need to clearly understand before the game that the money that you take with you is no longer your money.

This money can be easily lost.

Thus, you should let them go from the very beginning, and treat the gain as a successful combination of circumstances, and the loss as a completely obvious combination of circumstances.
When you have no expectations, you have no frustrations when you lose.

Always ask yourself: "if I can afford to lose the amount that I play" - if the answer is no, you should probably finish today.

[sunsilk]

I do agree with #1.

It's about the emotion because losing your calm will make you do the YOLO thing. You will become unstoppable to the point that you're not thinking anymore of the consequences that might come with your wrong action.

Managing the emotion is included in the acceptance of temporary defeat.

[akram143]

"Prevention is better than the cure", so don't give a chance for yourself to lose huge money in your economical status.At first why you are playing with such amount if you can't afford to lose them.But once it happens then just accept it or else you may do more harm to you, just move on.

[stomachgrowls]

Among on the list mentioned then these are the things which should most gamblers need to look on;

1. Manage your emotion
2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

When you do deal up with gambling then this will be your primary enemy when you do lose money along the way where you would surely
burst your emotion since we dont like to lose.Right? and thats what #2 would set in when you are already on anger or being too desperate
then thats the time you will chase up your losses.This is its important to control your emotion because what comes after that will be
actions that would really lead up into more problems.

[chaser15]

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

I'd rather overstress myself. Why? That's the time I can test how far I can bear my losses. This can't be avoided so I will face the wrath of being a loser.

If I can't overcome my stress, then I'm not supposed to be a gambler after all. But if I succeeded, that's what I can be called I manage properly my emotion.

2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.

Like for number 1, I will pressure myself to chase for losses until my wallet is empty. I will now feel the negative effect of forcing to chase my losses.

That was a good experience that will lead me on not doing it again the next time since I already know the feeling.

The bottom line for me, for a gambler, it's better that we all feel the negative effects of doing gambling rather than to make it perfect. Without these bad experience, we will never learn.

[dothebeats]

It's actually good to dwell on your losses for quite a time IMO since it will help you to be cautious and at least form some new strategy to avoid losses in the future. On big losses, you would be asking what went wrong, where you lack and where you overdid it; it basically gives you some form of reassessment of everything so you can come back stronger. But yeah, too much reminiscing of losses is bad because quite frankly it will affect your life up to a certain point that it's not healthy anymore for you and the people around you.

[bitbollo]

for sure a good /long pause it's something that can help really a lot or it's better stop to gamble.
just because with gamble you can't become rich = you can't recover a big loss.
plus if you have failed one time in something that you're not able to control, probably you will fail again and again.

[Twentyonepaylots]

Among on the list mentioned then these are the things which should most gamblers need to look on;

1. Manage your emotion
2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

These two are the best to prevent getting big losses in gambling. There should be less emotion involve when you are gambling, or better if there is none at all coz it will basically affect your decision making especially when you are playing strategic games like table games. Pressure can feel often when you are losing, I suggest to stop when you start to confuse yourself whether to stop or to continue, always choose to stop, that's the pit stop.

When you do deal up with gambling then this will be your primary enemy when you do lose money along the way where you would surely
burst your emotion since we dont like to lose.Right? and thats what #2 would set in when you are already on anger or being too desperate
then thats the time you will chase up your losses.This is its important to control your emotion because what comes after that will be
actions that would really lead up into more problems.

Well losing is really frustrating but you just need to cope those lost so you can regain  the balance the next time. Always remember that it's not always like that, there are days that you'll win much bigger than that.

[Swordsoffreedom]

The points you mentioned are very useful, but you have to know that it is very difficult to control emotions after losing a large amount of money, yet we should not be discouraged, because we all know that gambling is fully depended on our luck. so even if we lose one day, there are still waiting many glorious days to win. If someone loses and felt uncomfortable, there is no point in gambling again and again, just take a little break, don't despair you should continue gambling after a little break. I would like to suggest you that, not to become financially dependent on gambling, because, if you are completely financially dependent on gambling, losing a large amount of money to gambling will affect you and your family. this will further increase your mental pressure.  so, if you gamble along with your permanent job, then even if you lose in gamble, it will not cause mental stress.

[arwin100]

This is good advice If people will bare the mindset the same like this for sure they will not get any problem if they are losing or not since pressuring ourselves to get back our loss will result to another problem which result to much disastrous situation where we might gonna gertbroke for quick instance so for getting all things at ease don't be pressure,don't chase,take a break and play with peaceful mind.

[FlightyPouch]

Luckily, only a few people here in our country could spend money like that on betting. That is almost 150,000 pesos and in a province that I am living in, that is a huge amount. As I  said, people here are not that addicted to gambling so people can really stop when they wanted to. Losses are inevitable but since some people are not really that addicted, they could lose an amount of money and just stop for a while.

LoL we are at the same yard. Just room around in your place probably you will our other fellow countymen who have been addicted in gambling and lose that such amount.

Snip.

I definitely agree on that statement. If you don't want to stress regarding with your loss, don't pressure yourself. That is why it isn't advisable to gamble money came from a loan. Because if it will lose, you will be pressured to regain it. To the point that you can commit a sin or crime just to recover the money that you have lose.

The points you mentioned are very useful

Thank you for good words.

[abel1337]

After countless big defeats in playing gambling the most mistake that I did is not controlling over my emotional state and keeping rushing to gain back the losses and keeping doing mistakes. I've realized this over the time I am defeated, again and again, These mistakes mostly happen to addicts around there because my experience happened when I'm still an addict after realizing these things and I stopped being an addict, My coping management was greatly improved and my mistakes I mention above is being controlled by me now.

[Baofeng]

During the height of my addiction kabayan, I've lost 30k-50k PHP in a land base casino in a night.  

Back to the topic, as for the emotions thingy, whether we like it or not, gamble and emotions are connected. It can really spell the difference between you becoming an addicted gambler and losing all your money or just step back and think about your life and your future.

It is really hard to control it, believed me, but I've learn to acknowledge that I have this problem in the first place. Yes I feel frustrated and annoyed and irritated after a big loss. What I do is try to regain control of myself and realised that I'm not this kind of person and that I should be responsible and not let my bad gambling habits takes over me.

[maydna]

Before you play gambling, you need to determine how much money you can afford to lose in gambling, so you don't have to use big money to gamble. That is one of many ways to overcome a big loss in gambling.

But if we take a sample of $3,000 of losing money in gambling, then get out of the gambling places will be the best thing before you lose more money. You need to calm yourself down, realize that you already spend too much money, and it is hard to recover the losses from gambling, or you need to find another way to recover that loss.

I know that it will not easy to calm down after we lose $3,000, but that is the only way that we must do so we can think with clear what we have done before. After calm down, you need to stop gambling and leave the place as soon as possible because if you don't do that, you will try once more to see your luck comes or not. If you do that, you will not have a chance to calm down, and you only make another mistake again.

[robelneo]

It all goes down to control, control on how many yours you can allocate, control on how much money that you can gamble, people become miserable because they do not have control, they gamble for the sake of gambling, they want more which their money and time cannot give them, the worst thing is they have a taste of big winning and they think that they can do it again which is just an illusion.

[Rosilito]

This mostly called "Chasing Losses" and the most stupid way for gamblers to deal because the more you eager to win is the more losses will come to you.

Not bad if you have a plan, I supposed so. What was stupid IMO is going out to such places without having even a single thought of how you should act, what you're gonna do when you win and when you lose, and when to get out specially if you run out of money or to sum it up a robust plan.

One more thing to add, mostly, on what I observe, gamblers tend to think that gambling is for just for fun or entertainment thing that they usually forget when they feel challenged 'cause of losses which obviously result to further beating.

Going back to the list, I also love number 3. And I think it is one of the most recommended option to go with however the thing is, it ain't simple. But I believe that if you managed to shift your attention to something that will cleanse your mind over those tempting place of gambling, you won't get easily swayed to get back and gamble again.

[sportbettor]

Before you play gambling, you need to determine how much money you can afford to lose in gambling, so you don't have to use big money to gamble. That is one of many ways to overcome a big loss in gambling.

To reduce additional losses, the selection of a reliable gambling site is also very important. Here, for example, you can find the list of the best  cryptocurrency bookmakers: http://goleador.com.ru/cryptocurrency-bookmakers/

[ralle14]

In those five tips given by OP number 2 and 3 is what helped me when i'm at the point of losing my gambling balance funds i'll look for other things to fill in my gambling time and avoid thinking of gambling as much as possible. If I can't resist myself because of sports what I would sometimes do is follow the 4th tip as it encourages the practice of bankroll management and plan ahead on your next deposit.

[Wexnident]

Number one is all you need tbh. It's just that there are various ways in doing number one, hence the other tip such as tips 2-5. Emotion is the only thing that lets us do compulsive things and it's honestly not easy to stop it. I'm not saying that acting compulsive is always negative since it can always bring you benefits, just that in most cases, its a negative emotion. In a sense, managing your emotion doesn't only mean calming yourself. It can also mean letting out your rage, entirely at it's peak at something, or maybe even someone, and ngl, that's also a form of managing emotion. May not be the best one, but it is one of them.

It all goes down to control, control on how many yours you can allocate, control on how much money that you can gamble, people become miserable because they do not have control, they gamble for the sake of gambling, they want more which their money and time cannot give them, the worst thing is they have a taste of big winning and they think that they can do it again which is just an illusion.

If controlling was so easy, a lot of people wouldn't be under debt and a lot of people wouldn't be gambling addicts. Words are easy to say but never easy to do tbh. Let me correct something though, they gamble for the sake of winning, not gambling. There's a difference since imo, gambling to gamble means to enjoy the game, to enjoy what "gambling" means while gambling to win means to aim for the money, the prize pool while using gambling as a medium. They're both similar in the sense that they use gambling as a means, but the ends are quite different since one aims to enjoy, and the other aims for the money. There actually may be notions that to enjoy is to win, but eh, that's up to the person himself to understand whether what he really wants is to win to enjoy or to win to win (basically for the money).

[Latviand]

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

Self-discipline and self-emotion must be practiced whenever you gamble, no matter how big or small is your budget but still, you need to manage you emotion and do proper strategies. Gambling is not just an entertainment for other people, there are gamblers who are treating it as quick rich scheme and that's a very bad mindset.

2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.

Don't push yourself to hard just to recover all your losses, that can result for another losses. Always be careful and practice good decision making so that you will never do something that you'll regret afterwards. I'm really not into gambling but once that I've loss my money, I will stop and accept my losses because maybe tomorrow, next week, next month is another chance to recover your losses.

4. Read more strategies in playing that game or assess your past performance

I know that whatever you do, you will not escape the temptation of gambling. It always attract our desires to win again. But before you play again, realize everything why do you defeat before.

Have you been a greedy in placing bets? Did you always feel positive with your cards? Did you underestimate the game? Realize everything and make sure that you must have your new strategy to win the game. But take note, it isn't an assurance that you will win this time.

Practice and seek help to those professional gamblers that you know on how did they grow their money and what are the strategies to do to minimize losses and increase winnings. They have a lot of experience in gambling and I'm pretty sure that they will give you some sort of effective strategies and advice that you can use to become more effective in gambling.

Before you play gambling, you need to determine how much money you can afford to lose in gambling, so you don't have to use big money to gamble. That is one of many ways to overcome a big loss in gambling.

To reduce additional losses, the selection of a reliable gambling site is also very important. Here, for example, you can find the list of the best  cryptocurrency bookmakers: http://goleador.com.ru/cryptocurrency-bookmakers/

The list is good but do you think those site can help reduce some losses to their players I think not since if there's a big events or other promotional offers for sure they will bet again and although the chances to lose their money due to scams will reduce but still if you place your bet you are still at risk. And discipline is the main thing for people who want to reduce their loss in gambling since if they can able to hold their feelings towards some incidents on your gambling activities for sure they are at good shape.

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

For me this is the best advice with all the 5 tips that you shared.

Controlling your emotions is very easy to say but in reality it is very hard to manage when you are in an actual gambling casino. A gambler who doesn't know how to control their emotions has a higher chance of losing their  money compare to a gamble who knows how to control it.

Not managing your emotions will lead to stress and over the time, it will lead to serious depression that may change your life "FOREVER" so before spending too much in gambling make sure that you are ready to face the consequences that you may face if the worst situation happen to you.

[Kemarit]

Why not think of quitting gambling for good though if you have lost like $3k? Of course, it sound difficult because gamblers have that mentality to come back and try to win and chase what they have lost. So if you gather yourselves then probably the best option is to think of not gambling anymore. Or at least minimize your gambling activities so that you won't be emotional affected specially if you are going to play with just small amounts the next time you play.

[plvbob0070]

Losing is part of gambling, and we as a gambler should know and be prepared for that. The bigger money you put into gambling, the higher the risk you'll be losing a big amount of money too. That's why it's advisable to only gamble the amount of money you are willing to risk and lose. If you can't cope up with big losses, it means you should only stick with small bets. And that's what I usually do since I can't afford to lose much money.

For me, gambling is for entertainment and not as a way to earn income. I only make small bets to avoid regretting if I end up losing my money. I agree with what OP said, but if you still can't handle it, then that serves as a lesson. Why would you put yourself in a situation you can't handle and overcome? That's why in gambling, we should really think first before putting everything at the risk.

[shoreno]

small loss is already hard to overcome so how much more if its a huge loss ? itl be more harder but you wont notice it that you already forget them as the time goes or passes by   . this happen to me many times and now im still happy again despite previous losses   . gambling for me isnt only losses but i do also win many times    .  i realized that i havent loss a single penny on my pocket because what i just loss are only free money and winnings came from the casino that ive been playing with   .

[Sadlife]

I always manage my money and emotions that's why i only have small losses but the downside is i also dont win big. My winnings is probably around 0.0003 from roll games as im not that confident in that type of games but in sports betting i slightly increase my bets because im 80% sure i might win. So i can't control the urges to bet high especially if there's a possibility to win. So far i haven't loss big in sports bet and i should probably limit myself in those types of games as i've people got rekt because of compulsive gambling.

There is saying that, the more you want to win a large amount, the more you will risk your money. That's the equality of life. If you want to lose a lot, bet bitcoin you afford to lose. But then, there are still people that even they are reminding their selves to gamble small money, they tend to give all of it when they lose. I am that kind of person that bet until I lose my money. But I change it already since I realized that if I started to be unlucky then I immediately quit the game.

[palle11]

That part where you don't pressure yourself to regain lost money is a good advise. You don't win all the time. Having this kind of idea helps a real gambler to always be top in their game and make others wonder the magic that you did to always be cool. I think that helps to concentrate on a winning day.

[serjent05]

Let assume that you lose worth of 3,000 USD in gambling.

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

Managing that Big loss is not that easy specially if the money involved is from your daily living and not a excess money to spare for gambling,this will surely ruin your life if does happen because your family will blame you and the pressure is always there.

That is why it is always advised to use only the money that you can afford to lose if you want to play gambling games.  Using the money that is for the daily budget is insane and I think that person has a gambling problem already.

If a gambler use the money that is free or excess, he can never be pressured and can easily control his emotion because win or lose it will not affect him much.  With that, he can truly enjoy his gambling session.

2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.

This mostly called "Chasing Losses" and the most stupid way for gamblers to deal because the more you eager to win is the more losses will come to you.

That is also triggered by the gambler's fallacy of thinking that the next roll will more likely a win since he is in  a losing streak.  Applying the law of average which is actually not applicable to gambling.  Thus, creating a chain of losses until the player goes bankrupt.

[kryptqnick]

Every gambler really knows the risks that we take in playing online casino. Some of us ended in a great stress because of losing a lot of money in gambling. But because we are enjoying the games specially the slots, we always pulled by our desires to play again. I made this thread to give some tip to overcome a big loss in gambling.

If one lost a big sum of money because of an unstoppable desire to keep playing, I think the #0 thing this person should do is admit it's a problem, probably addiction. A good choice for such a person is to never play again or to put someone else in charge of the money and set limitations one would not be able to go over when gambling is going on. Another option is to try transferring to something less problematic but equally thrilling.
And honestly, I think that for such a person #4 can be harmful, giving a false hope that such a thing won't happen again. One should be ready to lose and be able to afford it or not gamble at all.

[hahay]

Assumption or parable about that amount of loss is not right if you only provide a solution on some of the points you stated, it is big money and you will not be easy to forget the loss and if that happens, then at least you also need a companion or anyone to look after you at all times and also to ensure your health remains good, because the solution of these points will only be right for those who experience a loss that is not so large. But the main thing about all this or about overcoming losses in gambling I just believe it can all be overcome only with a mindset that remains good and wise.

[FlightyPouch]

Luckily, only a few people here in our country could spend money like that on betting. That is almost 150,000 pesos and in a province that I am living in, that is a huge amount. As I  said, people here are not that addicted to gambling so people can really stop when they wanted to. Losses are inevitable but since some people are not really that addicted, they could lose an amount of money and just stop for a while.

During the height of my addiction kabayan, I've lost 30k-50k PHP in a land base casino in a night. 

Back to the topic, as for the emotions thingy, whether we like it or not, gamble and emotions are connected. It can really spell the difference between you becoming an addicted gambler and losing all your money or just step back and think about your life and your future.

It is really hard to control it, believed me, but I've learn to acknowledge that I have this problem in the first place. Yes I feel frustrated and annoyed and irritated after a big loss. What I do is try to regain control of myself and realised that I'm not this kind of person and that I should be responsible and not let my bad gambling habits takes over me.

Thanks for that kabayan, you are right. To be honest I do see gamblers bet so much money on cockfighting but I never really see what happened to those bet. And I was addicted in the past but luckily, I don't have that money to bet with. I undergo some heart to heart talks with some people to help me with that addiction, some of them are professionals. I feel bad in the end but when I am addicted, I don't really feel anything except that gambling everyday is normal, I should do and continue doing so. My wife is the reason I stopped, she made me realize how bad that turned into and how strong she is, that is the push I needed to stop. To be honest, after years, I can tell that I am not the same but I still do some gambling every now and then but unlike in the past, I can control myself now.

When you do get yourself addicted into gambling or into any other things in life specially it can give out negative impacts
then the only thing that can help out is yourself and the ones you do loved.They are the ones that will really help you realize
that you are already doing the wrong thing.If you are on the right mind and realization you will surely understand on what would
be the consequences or problems to be experience if you do decide to go further.Losing is part of gambling thats why it should be
be controlled most of the time and only spend on the money that you can afford to lose and dont go beyond the borders on that
particular day..Gambling isnt bad as long you dont compromise anything, if you lost then move on and call it a day and never
ever plan to chase up your losses because this is one of the main emotions that will surely push you out to commit more loss.

[KTChampions]

I think that if a serious loss happened, then this indicates that the person has lost control and most likely he is seriously addicted. Various tips in this case may be useful, but it seems to me that in this case a professional should act and it is best to consult a psychologist with this problem.

Glad to hear that you did able to overcome your addiction. Yes, I was also addicted to 'sabong' as well, late 90's as I was closer to one of the biggest cock fighting arena (Sta. Ana and Pasay). And what I do is me and my office mates who are also into cock fighting will get out early just to go gamble.

I didn't seek help, but change my priority specially when I did get married. So the outlook in life has change and of course when I lost a high paying sideline of mine, that's when I have recognised that I should have save that money and not put everything in gambling.

I can't really say where Im from but we have some arenas here too. Last last year, my friend invited me to Texas Arena in Antipolo but I just went there to be with him and not really bet, I guess that is the biggest cockpit I've ever went so far. In my addiction days, we are in this "tupada" and not really go into cockpits to bet. That is why I don't really bet that much since we are just betting against a small number of people. I can say 5K is a big bet at that time.

Nice story bro as well as motivation. It is not bad to taste beer, to smoke cigars and to play gambling but we need to make it in moderation. Everything that is too much can cause chaos. We have to control ourselves because addiction can harm us.

Don't let this leisure games manipulate our life, just like what I have said earlier, gambling is for entertainment and not for a job.

Not only in gambling or drinking alcoholic drinks, but addiction in other things can also harm us too. The rule is always to remember that we must only bite off what we could chew any more than that, becomes excessive and excessive leads to something bad. no matter what is that thing is. Knowledgeable people also take some sleep when they tired and eat when they hungry. This indicates a person should not be excessive in anything even too much love can kill you by Queen.

lol you did include that song ?  but that is true too much love isnt good  . it could be love for gambling too  .  in order to not end up on big loss  , its better if we aware of the addiction that can cause by gambling   .  lets only play small and try not to increase it  .

 dont make reasons like saying you are now an experienced gambler and you now know how it works because gambling can sometimes be baiting us only  to keep coming back  .  it will only be too late once we knew that we got screwed   ,

Accept the fact that you did lost your money so don't try to chase the money back again in that case you will reduce the losing money but you can't bring back your lost money.On the other hand managing your time is important, just try to distract yourself from getting into gambling more often.

Maybe trying to chase in such moderate bets only? I guess it'll work in that way. It's hard to accept especially if it's huge money that you've lost, so definitely, there's a thought on your mind to regain it again and no one can stop you. One of the things that will stop you is to have a wake-up call on your mind that you need to stop gambling, like having worst-case problems, in that way you will realize where your life's gonna end.

In the current scenario, it's hard to distract yourself away from gambling since the only thing we can do during quarantine is entertainment, and one of those is gambling.

^ Because every one of us has our own technique on how we cope up with the stress we can get in our losses in gambling for we all differ on how we see and perceive things and embrace the reality about the consequences of gambling. Everything OP's shared on his thread will be a great help to anyone because any of it is probably suited to the personality of gamblers who are suffering from the stress. It may also serve as a guideline to a new gambler and avoid it if in case a big loss will also happen to him. What I want to share that may also help gamblers is having control on their selves before, during and after each gambling session because learning to control yourself will give you the idea on your limitation in gambling which will make anyone mentally stable in facing the consequences of their gambling activities

[Leviathan.007]

Here I would like to add number 6. Stick into your strategy.
There are many strategy plans in gambling you can use them in order to get maximized profit out of your games your play.
For example, martingale betting theory. This is rather risky, and all it actually does is increasing your chances to win in the short term. Some people use even in Forex trading and crypto trading.
I would suggest you to google "Martingale strategy" for some more information.

Betting with huge money on a single bet is a huge mistake so we should never do that, try to keep your bet amount as low as possible so even if we lose few times we may not get burst out of losses, still can maintain our mental stability and can back off from the game for that particular day.That is why we are saying don't bet with the money which is not affordable for us to lose.

[kawetsriyanto]

Basically, losses are something unavoidable in gambling. If you don't want to lose money, why do you gamble? 
Gambling isn't the right place for people who worry about losses and focus on profits only. Once you gamble, you must accept the risk of a possible loss.

Regarding avoiding a big loss, you must remember these common suggestions:
1. Gamble what you can afford to lose.
2. Limit your funds.

That's it, boy!

We can see that people who are addicted to gambling often lose money due to ambition and try to regain their money by gambling again. That is why such people are unable to control their own personal feelings and constantly lose money. On the other hand, I know that such people often gamble to regain their losses and as a result lose money. Here, because of these psychological problems and problems such as not being able to control their own will, people constantly lose money and cannot prevent this situation.

Every gambler really knows the risks that we take in playing online casino. Some of us ended in a great stress because of losing a lot of money in gambling. But because we are enjoying the games specially the slots, we always pulled by our desires to play again. I made this thread to give some tip to overcome a big loss in gambling.




Let assume that you lose worth of 3,000 USD in gambling.

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.

3. Turn your attention in other activities

We need a new refreshing activity that will unwind our feelings. Get up and have some fun activities because you will gradually recover. I don't know if it works with other but everytime I have problems in my computer or I lose money in gambling. I stay away from it in few hours, I play basketball and other stuffs. After that, I conclude and realize some of my mistakes and how can I come in solution.

If you just in front of your computer even you do some stuff, there is always temptation that you need to play more. And if that so, number 2 in the list will happen.

4. Read more strategies in playing that game or assess your past performance

I know that whatever you do, you will not escape the temptation of gambling. It always attract our desires to win again. But before you play again, realize everything why do you defeat before.

Have you been a greedy in placing bets? Did you always feel positive with your cards? Did you underestimate the game? Realize everything and make sure that you must have your new strategy to win the game. But take note, it isn't an assurance that you will win this time.

5. Just enjoy your future games

Who cares if you lose? As long as you release your stress. Don't make the gambling as your job, because if you will push to win, you will become greed. Bet only the amount you afford to lose. Just like trading, if you need your money more than you want. Stay away in gambling. If you deposit bitcoin in online casino, assume that it will burn.


The bottom line of this is that, don't make gambling as your passive income. Remember, gambling can make you a millionaire but it makes you also poor. Just make it for entertainment so that there are no regrets if your bitcoin burned.

I know that the example is really exaggerated, but there are gamblers lose that much. And the only thing that I have seen, they can't really handle their loss. But don't worry, after a rain there is always a sunshine.

I am always open for opinion and discussion.
Goodluck in your bets.

Many gamble could not manage their emotion when lucky with become winner always try to make discussion to continue for gambling without take safety how much money earn after win, they try to going on and keep make bet but will get lost until their money gone and wake up after nothing have any more, when you make trade or gambling you must have to stop and never continue anymore.

Its just been part because you wont be addicted if those things arent in your mind and of course if you do chase up loses and had ambition to make yourself rich with gambling.

Then you would particular end up on getting addicted because these are the main goal that you are aiming on and later on you would really get used to it until you realized that

you already messed up everything. Regrets do always come in the end and doesnt show up on the start thats why its better to be aware on our actions because facing up
consequences.

Author, good topic, but i would tell that 4 and 5th points it's a little useless. Yeah, 4th point which tells us to work on our failures and analyze game it's good, you should always do it during all your life in different situations (not only in gambling), but is it really good advises regarding to the great loss in gambling?

If anyone worried so much about money loss, maybe he shouldn't play with such high (relative to him) stakes? If after the game he thinks like "Oh, i should better to use this money for something more useful" maybe the best advice to him (after point 1, 2, 3) will be something like that:

4. Do not play for money which you can't allow yourself to lose. Gambling it's like entertainment, do not spend on this too much

What's your thoughts, eh?   

[BitcoinTurk]

We can see that people who are addicted to gambling often lose money due to ambition and try to regain their money by gambling again. That is why such people are unable to control their own personal feelings and constantly lose money. On the other hand, I know that such people often gamble to regain their losses and as a result lose money. Here, because of these psychological problems and problems such as not being able to control their own will, people constantly lose money and cannot prevent this situation.

The main reason is not ambition and attempts to return lost money. This is the addiction itself. Try to find inveterate players who have won large sums of money and can end up with gambling - what do they do? Of course they continue to play. I have several such acquaintances.

I don't know if I understood exactly the situation you mentioned, but yes, everyone who gambling does not continue because it loses money. Some players want to increase that win more as they earn big wins in their first games and therefore continue to play. In fact, this situation is due to the inability of the person to manage his will and to make more money, just as I mentioned in earning psychology. For this reason, people who want to gamble to really enjoy or earn money must first control their own will.

[Mauser]

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

I think this is the most important part in gambling and investing. Having a clear perspective of the game you play or stocks you invest in and being able to live with the loss is so important. It's all about being able to think rational. If a big loss affectives your decision making in a negative way - you need to step back and take a break. I remember seeing a documentary about successful gamblers in Vegas talking about being broke. Most of these guys ended up in life being a few times completely broke. And they managed to jump back.

Thats also a reason why many successful people are so much into sports. It works wonders on your brain to release stress with exercise, escpially outdoors.

[JoMarrah Iarim Dan]

2. Don't pressure yourself to regain your loss

I know that I am not the only gambler who experience this. After a loss, I am always want to regain it causing for another loss because my mind and emotion become aggressive. If you lose that day, shut it down temporarily because all of us have bad luck days. And I do believe that luck is essential in gambling not only your strategy.

When we are aggressive in regaining our losses that is the time that we are pressured, that we become easily angry in small things, sometimes depressed to the point that we can't think normally. Maybe we can avoid this to happen again if we only intend an amount that we can afford to lose before we start playing in aday. Like for example $100 per day only. If that grow, then save it but we lose it all then stop. In that case, we are not pressured to regain it since we can afford to lose it in the first place.

[Nellayar]

Many gamble could not manage their emotion when lucky with become winner always try to make discussion to continue for gambling without take safety how much money earn after win, they try to going on and keep make bet but will get lost until their money gone and wake up after nothing have any more, when you make trade or gambling you must have to stop and never continue anymore.

Out of all comments I have been seen above your posts, I can't imagine why this post was given by 3 merits. You've been quoting my whole post, hm. I think this is suspicious. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Yes, many gamblers can't manage their emotions. Even in trading, if there is money involve all of us feel nervous.

Snip...

We have to limit ourselves because it is really hard to overcome our loss specially if it is really large. 100$ a day for me is really high, I am betting 100$ once in a while.

The only thing you can remember when you lose is regret. Your regrets in betting that time, that's why many of us are angry after a lose in gambling.

[South Park]

For me this is the best advice with all the 5 tips that you shared.

Controlling your emotions is very easy to say but in reality it is very hard to manage when you are in an actual gambling casino. A gambler who doesn't know how to control their emotions has a higher chance of losing their  money compare to a gamble who knows how to control it.

Not managing your emotions will lead to stress and over the time, it will lead to serious depression that may change your life "FOREVER" so before spending too much in gambling make sure that you are ready to face the consequences that you may face if the worst situation happen to you.

Controlling your emotions can be extremely difficult when you are in a physical casino, the whole casino is designed with only one idea on mind and that is to separate you from your money, this is why many casinos offer free drinks to the customers that are making high bets regardless if you're winning or losing, because if you're losing money then alcohol is going to make you to bet even more money and they will obtain more profits out of you, and if you are winning alcohol could create a lapse in your judgment and make you lose money as a result of this, but one easy way to avoid this fate is to only bring the money that you are willing to lose to the casino that way even if you lose control you are not going to lose as much money.

[dutt]

Much needed thread indeed. Almost everyone who gambled, at least once, lost a fair bit of money. Gambling and money loss often are synonyms, if someone doesn't know how to play and how to respond when he gets himeself in odd gambling situations. People need to learn how they should bet what they can afford losing.

[BIT-BENDER]

Good thread and gamblers can pick so much from it, but as a gambler it's easier to say this but when gambling -maybe is the tension/heat- you may not think of those things at that time. Although experience is one thing i count on in seriously tensed gambling time,

Gamblers needs to do more intellect than feelings. More loses comes when you don't know when to raise the white flag and end the session.

[KTChampions]

You misunderstood me. I try to show that the reason that addicted people are gambling is not a financial issue, but a matter of addiction. How can we check this? You need to look at those gamblers who won the jackpot and solved all their financial problems and secured themselves for life. All the same, they continue to play without even needing money. This means that the main reason for their gambling is gambling addiction.

I would correct your point a little if I may. In the rare cases when I gamble I follow this rule.

Determine in advance the amount you want to spend when gambling. And never go beyond it.
And best of all, if you go to the casino, take only this amount of money, and leave the rest at home.

[Kelvinid]

It is really hard when you are out of control and never knows how to stick to our limitations.
As usual, gamblers will mostly suffer losses than of winning against the house and that because we are chasing to win even though we can't. Even though we have those OP's with us but keeping it and following it all the time is really a big challenge for everyone. Why? It is because we are losing our minds and can't even think all of them when we are in gambling and much more if we lose already.

Just to tell this, one way to help us out from losing is not to gamble anymore.

[smyslov]

Gamblers should take heed all the point you've mentioned, but it all boils down to losing control, if a gambler cannot manage his emotion anymore, then he is going to lose everything he had, it's better for a gambler that if he is losing control that he bring along a friend who is not a gambler and reminds him when to stop, or when he is out of control.

[verita1]

These are good tips because it comes from your own experience and can contribute for a person addicted to the game to overcome the problems of gambling.
Self-control and keeping the mind busy is what he recommends to decrease anxiety for compulsive gamblers is the key that stands out in these tips.

There are also good responses and techniques from members with their gambling activities that can help other members recover from gambling addictions.
Thank you all for your contribution. I feel like in therapy.

[maxreish]

Diverting my attention into other things to atleast give space myself to overthink about my huge losses in gambling like watching movies, etc. It really helps. Rather than thinking how to get back what we have lose because the fire emotion is still there and it doesn't really help you to recover so I may suggest to take a rest for days in gambling before playing again.

[CarnagexD]

We all know that gambling is one of the most frustrating things we can encounter in our plays and some of them cannot handle themselves. Gambling is one of the most easier ways to make and earn money and gambling is one of the riskiest things to lose your money immediately sometimes we are on a good side that we are earning a lot of profit which is good because it can double up our money but sometimes the luck is not in our side and loss a lot of money some of them when they are losing is double their wage to earn back immediately and this kind of process is not quite good because it increases your risk again. Some of them are taking a break for a while just to make them mind peacefully before playing again which is good because if you are not mentally stable and emotional there is a chance that you may make a wrong decision. On my side, one thing that I do too is making some analysis about the things I made wrong to identify my mistakes and what are the possible thing I could do you make an improvement on my self and win those games again.

[johhnyUA]

In gambling, where the most things depending on your luck, there no much to "analyse".  And this is if we are talking about some games with strategy, like poker. But in such games like "dice", there nothing what you can analyse. Only one moment: that you shouldn't play this game

Exactly, gambling is based on luck. This is not trading or investing to make analysis what did you do and how and what went wrong and what to make different next time.
In order to avoid losses is gambling selfcontrol is needed and control over your funds that you gamble and control over urge to try to recover loss immediately after happened by continuous gambling. In fact it's quite simple if the gambler is disciplined.

Gambling is not only based on luck, but some gambling games do also have strategies to win the game. Even it's a simple strategy like bluffing or counting the probabilities, it can turn the table that will change the current situation of that round. So at some part, analysis to make improvement is a good thing, to review your recent match and avoid those things that make you aggressive and lose the game. Having analyzation on your matches will make you realize what're the dos and don'ts in the game. Even in dice, you can predict the outcome by analyzing the flow of the algorithm, the number of bets, and players because sometimes your mind always take those as a basis to define your next bet.

There is so called "bluffing" in poker. Most of dominated players do that and I think that is one of the best example that we use also our strategy in gambling. Yes, you have to be lucky but strategy in playing is require.

Don't just depend upon our lucky because if you play without a strategy is just giving your money in casino for free. So I agree with this opinion.

[Saint-loup]

Every gambler really knows the risks that we take in playing online casino. Some of us ended in a great stress because of losing a lot of money in gambling. But because we are enjoying the games specially the slots, we always pulled by our desires to play again. I made this thread to give some tip to overcome a big loss in gambling.




Let assume that you lose worth of 3,000 USD in gambling.

1. Manage your emotion

Don't overstress yourself because you have lose a big amount of money. You can't rewind everything, so the best choice is to calm. If you stressed yourself with your great loss, it can lead to depression. And all of us really know what will happen if you can't control it. It's a mental health problem that you should manage.

When I get emotional I use this gif and I try to synchronize my breathing on it to help me to calm down.

[fiulpro]

I do think one should take a break from Gambling if they have suffered any huge loss.

If you suffered a loss that could mean :

1. Either the site you were using wasn't 100% transparent and real .
One should always check their spam records . Not every site is going to give you equal probability of winning.

2. You are not calculating your own money and risks properly. One should take into account what they earn , what they should save and what they should use for Gambling.
-I always use the 50% rule .
 50% of what you earn you should save , rest 50% you should actually use for your daily activities , 10% of that you can use in Gambling.

See Gambling is like this age old tradition which is not something which should be abused . In moderation it does have many benefits. I have seen people win *100 times their investments. Just be careful and choose your gambling investment sites carefully and research .  
_________________________________________________________

I do think some things that can benefit you in this case might be :

1. Check if the rules of the site are fair .
2. Save up ! So that you can have a stable bank account .
3. Learn from the experience of others and yourself too .
4. Do not use all of your money in just one bet , split it up so that you can minimize the loss .
5. Mentally prepare yourself for everything

Losing up $3000 on gambling wont really be easy to forget but if you are rich then this would be just a piece of cake but if this one is a emergency fund or used for living then you would outrage.

Overcoming is the biggest issue on most gamblers because not all would easily accept their fate or current situation which would either end up on doing something bad neither they do lost of control inside of the physical casino if they play physically or they would smash up their pc if they do play online just to ease the stress and anger that they do currently feel.

If you dont like to experience such problem then its better not to play on the amounts that you cant afford to lose.This sound too basic and been suggest or advised for countless times but people never ever learn
until they experience unfortunate events.

They would most likely stop when the time comes that they dont have any money more left to bet or they are already on big debt.When do gamble then losses is always been a part thats why its important to play
that you arent really aiming on making money but only for just the sake of fun.

[xSkylarx]

It is inevitable to have a big loss in gambling. If I would lose that kind of amount I'll just move on and don't chase to get it back again. I'll just enjoy my future games. Gambling is all about luck in the first place. I'm a resilient type of person so I don't dwell that much on failures or disappointments.

[aioc]

It's very important that you only play with money that you can afford to lose, if you use hard-earned money or money coming from your savings you are tempted to try to recover it by betting more, and this is where the problem starts.

You must realize that it's hard to win against gambling, once you put your savings here there will be a point of no return, just enjoy the game and gamble with excess money that you allocate for entertainment.

[BITCOIN4X]

Determine in advance the amount you want to spend when gambling. And never go beyond it.

Actually this is quite helpful to overcome greater losses in gambling. Limiting the money that will be spent on gambling is one of the suggested efforts to overcome it. I dont think that all gamblers will always think of losses when gambling because they all have different goals. Losing and winning in gambling is a natural thing and it is a risk for the game.

But even though everyone has different goals, it would be better if we can limit the amount of money that will be spent on gambling to protect ourselves from greater losses. I think this is a smart mind, its just that not many people want to do it.

Losing 3000 dollars in a single night is simply too much, even if you can afford to lose that kind of money from time to time it is simply not the right especially when bitcoin casinos offer you the possibility of betting with very small amounts of money, such a loss without a doubt will come from a lack of control in your gambling or because the person is using a strategy like martingale which requires you to double your bet after each loss and just after a few losses your bet size grows to the point you lose 3000 dollars.

[KrisAlex18]

The only way that I usually do whenever I lost from gambling is to play online games, whenever you lose you should do something that will make you happy so it would overcome the sadness from being lost. Just like me I always play online games whenever I lost form gambling because online games make me happy I am comfortable saying games. The second thing that sometimes I do is to have fun with your family, your family is really a great remedy for you, whenever you get sad, just communicate with your family. Our family is one of our reason why we are living, why we are doing work, so they know how to handle our emotions whenever we are sad at the moment.

Number one is the best advice manage your emotion this is the hardest thing to do because the temptation is always there to continue playing until you exhaust everything, your emotion, your funds almost everything, the first thing you should learn when coming in a gambling site for the first time is to manage your emotion, if you can manage that you manage everything, and even your funds the most important thing to manage.

Well said, if we don't know how to control our emotions. It would be bad for us. For example, when you are playing and getting lost, you won't think other ways to win the game or strategies because you are so sad about what is happening.

[ralle14]

But even though everyone has different goals, it would be better if we can limit the amount of money that will be spent on gambling to protect ourselves from greater losses. I think this is a smart mind, its just that not many people want to do it.

It's not that most gamblers don't want to put a limit I think it's about maintaining self control because even though you have an initial plan to not go over the limit it's very easy to abandon the plan and deposit again when you're continuously losing. Sometimes I myself get carried away as well (for example if there's a promotion that involves betting) the hard part is to do it consistently.

When you are never winning for your entire game, definitely the gambling site that you are playing is not genuine. I believe that every gambling site has their own calculated algorithm in order for the players not to win for every game. That's why a lot of players are losing than winning in gambling.



We need to be cautious in playing. We are risking our money here without assuming of ROI.
If you are continuously losing the game, stop playing. Because it might not a problem of your strategy but it is a way of a gambling site to deceit players.

Not all gambling site are transparent, that's why we have to conduct a research before depositing our money.

[kawetsriyanto]

~chasing losses in gambling is really a bad idea because you tend to loose more I could recall vividly when I was trying to chase my losses,~

You get the point and know it well, mate. Yep, trying to chase losses will lead to more losses. By chasing losses, you probably try to put bigger and bigger your money in the gambling games. You won't realize it during playing the games, but after all your funds have gone, you will regret it. This must be a warning for us to not force our selves in gambling.

[logfiles]

Rule Number 1: After a huge loss, take a break. There is always a temptation to try to recover the lost funds and the decisions one might make may be irrational because they are focused to recovering the money.

Gambling for fun rather than as a source of income also avoids any pressure or stress that may come up as a result of a huge loss. When one is gambling for fun. They are in most cases doing it with money they can afford to lose.

That's where most gamblers are making a mistake as most of them will go back after a huge loss.
Trying to recover their losses is what they aimed, but most of the time, it will incur more losses on their end.
Take a break, do something aside from gambling and think of other possible sources of income to replace what you have lost.
Getting too emotional in gambling will give you more problems than what you already have.

Gambling industry is so profitable just because of this kind of characteristic of most gamblers.They do keep coming back in spite of their losses.

They do try to play again and thinks that they can able to break even on what they have lost which is totally a wrong mindset to have specially if you do deal with gambling.

Overcoming will simply means that you should move on since from the start.Dont chase on the amounts on where you do already expect for it to go in house wallets.

Allocate the amount that you are willing to be gone and you wont really have that chasing mindset.

[michellee]

Allocate the amount that you are willing to be gone and you wont really have that chasing mindset.

The first time we gamble, we can allocate the amount of money we want to use for playing gambling. But as time goes, sometimes we forget about limiting the money, but we deposit again because we feel too have fun and we want to try to win the games in the next round. That can make us lose in more money, and sometimes, some people cannot accept their loss, and that will make them feel too sad. Not all gamblers can overcome their big loss because many of them will feel desperate and sad, but that is because of their fault.

[Saisher]

Majority of gamblers are one point of time in their gambling experienced have lost a lot of money,it could be in their newbie days or on the days that they cannot stop or keep the urged to continue gambling, but a responsible gamblers knows what are the right thing to do, to continue living life while gambling, you cannot prevent losing money from gambling but learning how or when to stop is the way to prevent those losses.

First we need to clear some things, most of all what is a big loss? Losing 1000 dollars can be devastating for some people, while for some it's nothing! It would be fair to say that every gambler lost a big part of his bankroll (or entire bankroll) at some point, or more than once. And that happens in gambling often, it's why you can't gamble without steady income from other sides, or at least to save a big part of your winnings on separate wallet so you can fill your gambling bankroll when you have a need for that. It's how you overcome any big loss, you find a way to fill your bankroll and to try again, at least it's the best way to overcome big loss, and for sure it's better than to become desperate and to ruin your health!

[Assface16678]

I agree with most of the statements by the OP because most of the people today are having a struggle about gambling because they cannot handle their own emotions and decisions in life while they are playing. Gambling gives a really hard time. If you are winning your games you do not need to have a lot of problems because you are already earning and you become too confident but sometimes getting confident may bring you toward to make a mistake and getting greed. In the other hand when you are experiencing loses it gives a lot of depression and the emotional problem also we can include the mental statement this time you want to make your money back and of course all you need is to make a higher wage that is riskier towards to your loss in case you lose on your wage now you realize you don't have any coin or money at the end of the day there is a possibility you blame all the things you see including your self that is why you lose those huge amounts of money instead using this in a good way.

Even you lose or win a lot of money gambling gives you a lot of desires and excitement at the end of the decision you will still play gambling whether you lose or win.

I think when a person loses a big amount in gambling they often depressed and they want to get back what they've lost as soon as they got the money to spend on gambling again. this is how the majority of gamblers do. some of them just simply go away and never to return again because they have their fill of losing with gambling. The problem here is, If people don't stop playing after some huge loss, I think he will having a hard time letting go of the addiction in the future because he always thinks there will be a day when he wins big but there really wasn't until he loses it all.

Another thing is that they have another strategy that they think will work out.  So they are eager to come back again as soon as they got money to try their new strategy.  Being excited, the urge to get back what is lost often ended up in this kind of situation.  Then when things do not go as planned, they become irritated thus lost their composure and rationality leading them to more losses.  So a gambler needs to be calm at all times.

Exactly that is one of the most common mistakes that gamblers make. They rush into another game immediately after the loss thinking they will recover the funds because next will be their winning plan.
But that often leads to even bigger losses and could be also sign of addiction. Yes, gambler needs to cool the head and think twice. The best would be to pause gambling for a while and try to recover some mony from other sources.
Recovering loss is never easy and fast and reckless gambling isn't the way to cover losses.

I guess you just need to take a break after losing a big amount of money here in gambling as we know we cannot always win in the game so losing is part of the game.

A lot of gamblers are quitting after a big loss which is I think normal if we don't want to lose money anymore. But it just how gambling works sometimes your luck and win the game and sometimes lose.

[babygun]

Rule Number 1: After a huge loss, take a break. There is always a temptation to try to recover the lost funds and the decisions one might make may be irrational because they are focused to recovering the money.

Gambling for fun rather than as a source of income also avoids any pressure or stress that may come up as a result of a huge loss. When one is gambling for fun. They are in most cases doing it with money they can afford to lose.

100% agree. Right now, I do gamble for fun (my bet size is really small) and every year I make a small profit.
But there have been times where I have lost quite a big amount of money and than I always wanted to win it back, even by betting on sports/competitions that I normally wouldn't bet on (like basketball from Kazachstan  )

[TheGreatPython]

When you gamble only with the money, you are able to afford if lost, then what is the need to overcome? I mean the basic thumb rule of gambling is "gamble only what you can afford on the event of losses occurred". If you are not following that rule then no one could help you out to overcome your depression after losing big money. Being precautioned will save lots of later hassles. If we rush into gambling without remembering/following basic ethnics, then one day or other may not find ourselves eligible for gambling.

The chances for making losses in gambling is 99.99% so getting into gambling without preparing ourselves to face the losses will definitely lead to big depression. When you are ready to face losses (because it will be below your affordable limit) then there will be no need of overcoming it nor no room for depression as well.

Gamble with plans. Accept losses. Move on and take a break. Come back on another beautiful day when your bankroll is again within your affordable limit. Gambling with discipline will definitely help us to keep gambling for life long.

[slapper]

Depending on how much money you have, $3000 can be a big or small amount to someone. Its hard to say whether a person regrets on losing $3000 or not
However, I do agree with all of your opinions. Gambling is not just about strategy, its also about money management, emotion control, and luck. Therefore, if you lose a certain amount of money which hurts your feelings, try to stop before you even lose a bigger amount of money. And trading, as you say, is the same as gambling at some points. If you can't control things, you will lose your money.

How to overcome a big loss in gambling?

It doesn't have to be overcome. It just didn't come to that.

This premise is very bad and predictable in the world of betting, so why support it if it can be avoided, if you read something about game theory, you can realize that the fundamental thing is to always have a strategy that allows you to overcome adversities. So before you start playing set them up.

Let me explain, one cannot say that $ 3,000 is a big loss, we don't really know that until we set the parameters. So the first thing a person should do to avoid "unexpected" losses or "big losses" is to know what your gambling capital is (Bankroll).

Bankroll or Gambling Capital: You know, it is said, it is repeated over and over, but it is worth it again: "Never use as gambling capital money that you must use for bill payments"

What everyone in the reality of the betting world should know before doing anyBet is how much is their capital, because in the reality of things, for example, $ 20 to play poker and lose $ 10 is a tragedy, because you are losing the 50%, but good banking management keeps you away from headaches, although when the variance or as some like to call it "luck," is not on our side it can hit you hard. But even for those moments, it is only worth establishing a bankroll control strategy.

In reality, bankroll management is the solution before any activity or suggestion, while the good habit of bankroll is insurmountable.

From his example, in the gambling world $ 3,000 may mean absolutely nothing, but as I mentioned earlier it can be incredibly "a lot" for some gamblers o peoples.

Let's see some numbers: in practice how to overcome losses
Some real situations that I have had the opportunity to know, for example in NLH 1000 a player can have losses in a month of $ 42,000 and it is very possible that perhaps at a (BB/SB) 10/5 cash table in just one hand he will lose those $ 3,000. At these levels what happens is that bankroll management is very strict, in fact the key to being a winner is being a player with a deep bankroll, what does a deep bench mean? play with at least 10,000x-5000x-1000x.

But as you can see a 10,000x bankroll can be seen as very calm, but some make the mistake of taking X as the value of the bet in this case $ 10, which leads to a serious error, a bankroll of $ 100,000 but in reality it is the money with which you enter that table, which on average is 100 blinds (BB), that is, $ 1000, therefore the bankroll you should have to sleep peacefully is $ 1,000,000. Obviously these factors can be adjusted but the lower limit in my case would be 200x.

The above applies to any type of bet no matter amount ($1x-10x-1000x) or what type of game, I have put poker, but this applies to any type of bet in a casino.

Please understand me the losses are not there to be overcome with therapies, but with mathematics and very simple rules.

The OP's advice is very good but it does not only apply to losers, it is a way for any type of player to follow, we all need to follow those recommendations at some point.

Finally:
If you only play for fun, why play for real money! bet with play money.
The one who plays for real fun never complains even losing $ 3000, it's a fun story to tell.

[kawetsriyanto]

Rule Number 1: After a huge loss, take a break.

Agree, it is better to take a break once we got a huge loss. We need to make our selves be calm first and not to be influenced by the temptation to recover it as soon as possible. Thinking to recover the losses in an instant way should lead to more losses because of no good strategy and preparation. Also, we need to have a calm mind to play with our best.

Gambling for fun rather than as a source of income also avoids any pressure or stress that may come up as a result of a huge loss.

Yeah, if we can play gambling for fun, it is a good way. But not all gamblers have the same mindset, some of them may consider more on the money. Even if no problem to expect money, but as you said, it will cause pressure in gambling.

Sometimes players f*ck up.  Even with all sets parameters, there are times where he loses control of himself (probably too much confidence that he will win).  So, in that situation the player needs to overcome it since he has his regret of not following his set plan.

Finally:
If you only play for fun, why play for real money! bet with play money.
The one who plays for real fun never complains even losing $ 3000, it's a fun story to tell.

Fun, yeah play with play money but most people wanted fun up to the next level which is coupled with excitement.  Though they do not complain if they losses, often times losing players have the regrets and wanted to take back what is lost.

[boyptc]

Not pressuring myself to regain losses is what should work first for me. Without the hunger in playing and gaining back your losses, you can overcome those huge amounts of loss.

If you have no will to retain it back, you won't be pressure at least for the moment you have thought of it. So your mind can relax and can focus with things that you have to work for.

[traderethereum]

It is very hard to overcome the big loss in gambling because we will be very sad, and I think we need a long time to calm ourselves down from the loss.
We need to stop gambling for some time if the loss is big, so we don't think about the loss, but we can try to refresh our mind from gambling.
Or we can stop gambling forever because gambling is not for making money.
We can try to use other jobs that can give us a probability of making money, and we don't have to lose money again from gambling.
After all, it's not suited for us.

[agourbet]

In order to overcome a big loss from gambling you need to do 2 things:

1) Take break and try to understand what went wrong. In this stage you will cry like a baby, tell yourself that you a piece of shit and all these self-destructive activities.

2) Understand that shits happen to everyone and it is a very natural think. Truly understand that you are fully responsible for your loss and no one else. Take you loss and deal with it. It has happened you cannot undone it,no one can.

3) Correct the mistakes that you have done and try again. This time you need to put processes which will stop you from doing the same mistake again.

Good luck. Life is unpredictable, shits happen to everyone, learn from them and become stronger. With time you will build confidence because of the shits that you have overcome and you are still here and fighting.

It's the outcome that no gambler would want to experience, I've experience some big loses in the past and thankful I'll able to overcome it easily.
Always, it starts with your emotion, knowing how to manage your emotion will reduce the risk, and if you ever lose big money in gambling, you need to accept that and learn from your mistake, not accepting the reality will just make prolong the problem and it will cause trouble in our daily lives.

We have made mistakes because we are just human, so let's just accept it and move on, there's lot to do and explore in life, you can't be stuck with one mistake.

We can try to use other jobs that can give us a probability of making money, and we don't have to lose money again from gambling.
After all, it's not suited for us.

Gambling in the first place should not be the way to make money if we are not a professional gambler, and if we have problem like I've mentioned and we have a job, if we will not accept the reality, it will bother us and we can't give our best in performing our job.

[lumeire]

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.

[Rengga Jati]

Always, it starts with your emotion, knowing how to manage your emotion will reduce the risk,

You mention the main point, buddy. Controlling emotion is the key to prevent the risk of a big loss, and avoid more losses after a big loss. However, to manage emotion isn't an easy way, some people failed to do this. But, we have no choice, we must learn to manage emotions in order to make our gambling safer. Even if it is hard, we can try more until we can succeed to control it. Maybe one of the ways is by reading the expert's experience or tips from various articles.  

if you ever lose big money in gambling, you need to accept that and learn from your mistake,

Correct. Accept it and don't be influenced by the temptation to overcome it immediately. We must have this mindset if we want to survive in gambling. Also, learn from mistakes is a must, it is the source to get understanding in solving the same problem in the future.  

[Genemind]

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.

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.
