Lost more in the process to recover ?

[TimeTeller]

This happened to me and I know a lot of gamblers here. You will always have that day when you can't just stand losing straight and you just want to try and try to win not knowing it should've been stop earlier. There are times that you are so mad at work and you need to breath some air and do gambling then it is just a loss streak, that would be really annoying. Gladly, I am done with that, I lost a lot of bitcoins because of that, we should really learn from our mistakes in the past.

Why do you even gamble if you are mad? If you want to breathe some air, you don't do that in a casino. If you are mad and stressed at work, gambling might only make it worse. Good if you get out of the casino bringing nice profit, but what if you lost? Then your stress will only double and you will find it even harder to sleep not only because of your work-related stress but also of the money wasted.

Because at that time gambling is something I do to entertain myself. I do have those times that I gambled in a bad mood but most of them have this great results even though I don't actually win, it is like I kind of release that stress by betting. I don't know if that is the case for some gamblers, but in the past I am like that.

Learn hard lessons in life. But at some point we need to experience that in order to appreciate what is best for us.
If you truly feel what is wrong with your decision, you will know what are the best actions to address your problem.
And as a gambler, we experience lots of times about wanting to recover our losses.
Sometimes, I will tell myself to withdraw my money once I reached this amount, but then again, I will find myself playing.
So it is really understandable about such kind of behaviour, because as a player, sometimes greed is on your side.

This is quite a problem for addicted gamblers.

I never thought that this could happen to gamblers. I am not addicted to gambling so I never thought that this is a scenario for the, I just thought that they also think that they should be aware that they are not in a good mood to play and that would obviously create this bad scenario and engage them more in chasing wins even in a losing streak. People should really control themselves, I know it is hard but it is for their own good.

Lucky you were when you have tried to play the game again. This is a very usual experience for most gamblers, we want to recover our losses and that triggers our minds that if we gamble again, we'll get our losses.

I don't do this anymore, I've learned from my and others' experience. The more you know yourself, the more that you need to be careful next time. You'll never know how much you can lose in the long run without having self-control.

This is also my thought though I have not lost a lot. But whenever loss then I skip gambling that day. Learning is the best thing in the world that if you learn anything, you can do best by using the brain. So try to learn more and more. Don't try to recover your losses without learning.

You should avoid losing a lot in gambling because you will never know what you will do. Learning from our mistakes is the best thing that we can do to have more experience in facing that thing in the future. I am sure we can do that, but that will need an effort to know ourselves and have self-control in gambling.

There is nothing more that we can do if we lose. But if we can stop while we can, we will have that money, and we can use that money to gamble for the other days. Once we can control ourselves, we will not be afraid to stop anytime, and we will not lose too much money because we always use limit money to gamble.

The other day I lost a few $ gambling on Roobet. My luck was so bad that day that when I thought of gambling a little more so that I recover the lost funds I lost more than 3 times the amount I lost earlier  

P.S : I did play the game again after a few days and recovered some of the $. But this time I quit the game while I was in profit.  

The hardest thing to do is to quit the game while you are winning, we are always tried to extend our winning, this is us, we keep n hoping to recover our losses, we still keep on when winning this is to extend our losses and we eventually lose our money, so stopping at the right time when winning takes a lot of self control and that is hard to develop.

There are two things that make it difficult for us to stop playing gambling, the first we win in a row. This makes us greedy and want
to get even bigger profits. The second we have lost in succession, makes us curious and want to continue playing gambling to cover up
defeat. So we must be able to limit ourselves when playing gambling, if we don't want to lose all the capital we have. So if we have
suffered a losing streak, we must be able to stop. If we are forced to play again we will definitely experience even greater losses.

Running behind lost amount is like chasing for water in desert. It's a mirage. A false thing. A false hope. If you actually think about it, the amount you lost last time isn't the only amount you ever lost, is it? You must have accumulated a large amount of funds in your loss-book. Same is for everyone who's gambling for years like me. If we let's say recover for last round, we will be even then we will be greedy to make more profit and recover more funds we lost before. It's a very dangerous and addicting loop.

We don't know if he's lost last time is not a big loss because I think not many gamblers will tell other people how much money they already lose in gambling.
The gambler will keep the losing amount of money for themselves, and they will only tell that they are already losing the money in gambling.
I am afraid that when we can win in the last round, we can still keep playing that games without thinking that what we got is already enough because we can recover our loss and get our money back.
But unfortunately, it seems, many gamblers don't know when they need to stop, but they still playing gambling for more rounds.
If that so, they will see another bigger of losing the money, but this time, they will hard to recover their loss because they already have that opportunity to get their money back before, and they screw it up.

I like the example of what you gave and also yes, I have lost multiple time chasing to recover the lost amount. Though some may be lucky and would have also recover and everyone will have different luck as well in such cases. So, for me playing just so that I can recover does not work instead that becomes past and I only look in future in such cases.

[madnessteat]

In order not to chase the past and not to try to recoup, you need to understand and accept a very simple thing - any gambling ends for the player - win / lose / or player left the game remaining with their funds. Each individual game is in no way connected with the subsequent or past games by any laws as a separate coin flip at multiple flips.

[iTradeChips]

That is one gamblers curse that we need to overcome. That urge to gamble more and more just for the idea that we need to get back the lost money. We all had that experience one way or another I am sure. And this is not just true for gamblers but also people who experience winning so much that they want to partake and gamble more in the hopes of getting more and more profit. Only to lose it in the end. That is why we all need to be careful when it comes to these kinds of urges.

[Porfirii]

The few times I gamble I have always a plan preconceived.

Independently on what the odds are, if I plan to play 5 rounds of X, I stick to it whatever happens. This way, I never fall in the trap of "recovery".

In addition, for those who are not familiar with the book, I recommend you Dostoievsky's "The Gambler". Not a long story, but quite interesting from the point of view of anyone who knows what it feels like to win/lose decent money gambling.

This strategy is good but not enjoyable anymore. Most of the gamble to release stress and anxiety of being alone and this strategy will literally kill it. First of all, why do you gamble if you are just doing a fixed number of bet? You can't guarantee that it will satisfy yourself on that game. It's like getting a stress in gambling rather than releasing it on gambling.

I understand your point because you might gambling for sole purpose of profit which this strategy is effective for self control.

Personally, The best way to counter this kind of recovery issue for me is just deposit money that you can afford to lose. In that case. You will not worry what will be the outcome of the game.

That really gave me something to learn to. With the help of my partner, I stopped myself from going further down the darkness of gambling. It is not that easy but it is so great having that feeling of someone helping you so bad, she's one of the reason my life is well.

To be honest, looking back I hope I could just control myself. I still regret the amount I am gambling in the past. I am still gambling right now but at least right now I could control the amount I am betting, I know now my priorities.

When you're in the losing streak it isn't possible to stop as most users mentioned in their quotes. When the wallet fund gets emptied we'll understand that we should've stopped earlier. This could've happened with almost every gambler, recovering the lost funds is possible. For the same we need the patience, one should not expect the recovery to happen in single day with consecutive bets.

For this very reason I keep my Tron for staking and I cannot withdraw them even if I want because there is a lock in period and I cannot withdraw before that time expires and by the time they get unlocked I realize I have lost enough and time to take a break from gambling. It is not easy to save your deposited amount to a casino though so only deposit what you know you are going to lose, maybe not today but surely in coming days or weeks if you are lucky enough to survive that long.

I never chase my loses but that is because I don't have the balance to do it, I mostly play slots and I either end of winning something huge and if not then I just bust trying to win big and now that most of the slots offer buy free spins feature, it is killing my balance like never before.

[Botnake]

What if one day you'll have enough balance to do it, would you chase your loses?
For me, I would never do that as that is a sign that I am an indiscipline gambler and I'm in the risk of losing big money.

I mostly play slots and I either end of winning something huge and if not then I just bust trying to win big and now that most of the slots offer buy free spins feature, it is killing my balance like never before.

You'll stop gambling if you think you are winning, gambling is fun it should stay that way whether you win or lose, and regardless of the games you are playing.

I guess this would have happened with the most of us ain't it ?

The other day I lost a few $ gambling on Roobet. My luck was so bad that day that when I thought of gambling a little more so that I recover the lost funds I lost more than 3 times the amount I lost earlier   Eventually I just quit the game and didn't play it again for 2 days. This is too obvious for any gambler and everyone can relate to this feeling.

What you guys do when such a thing happen with you ?

P.S : I did play the game again after a few days and recovered some of the $. But this time I quit the game while I was in profit.  

P.P.S : I was conscious while I was trying to recover the lost funds and I tried only till that point where I can't afford to lose anymore. I always keep in mind the amount that I can afford to lose.

yup, you should really know the risk before gambling or anything that involves money, but atleast you recovered some of your funds though, you can stop gambling while you still can, some people gone broke because of their gambling addiction. just try any other way to earn and not gamble a lot.

Chasing your losses is big sin for gamblers you will eventually going to lose everything, you should know when to stop and how to stop although it's very tempting to continue I experienced this many times in the past but I always ended up losing my additional deposit, be contend moderate your greed, you will have your lucky, but don't force yourself to win, when it's not meant to.

[lixer]

My suggestion is to make a rule to stop playing and try to punish yourself by saving the money you lost from other things like not going out this week, or not buying that gift, etc.

It is easier said than done though because it is not easy to resist gambling when you are in loss and have money with you to gamble and it is an automatic urge to win back, no one really wants to chase the losses but this is automatic. I often play dice and I lose like $10-20 which I can easily afford but somehow I play more and yes at times I recover and even gain profits but more than I lose a lot more in the process. But that is still something I can afford because I deposit only what's extra with me and what I know I am going to lose eventually.

You should set it in your mind that the longer you play in gambling aka the more rounds you play the more you "HAVE" to lose due to the house edge. It is as simple as that.

According to that we shouldn't even gamble because you do not have to face house edge if you do not gamble but that is just theoretical and when you visit a casino you just feel the urge of playing and as long as we are losing small enough to shrug off we are all good.

That is one gamblers curse that we need to overcome. That urge to gamble more and more just for the idea that we need to get back the lost money. We all had that experience one way or another I am sure. And this is not just true for gamblers but also people who experience winning so much that they want to partake and gamble more in the hopes of getting more and more profit. Only to lose it in the end. That is why we all need to be careful when it comes to these kinds of urges.

We are just humans and that kind of urge will surely exist or can be felt no matter what and thats why gambling industry is profitable due to this kind of
peoples characteristic where they do chase up losses instead of completely stopping.This had been always the cycle, good for those people who do able to
control up themselves and sure no luck for those people who havent able to control that urge, if lucky then it would be just temporary.This is why
we do really need to be sensible towards our actions.If we do treat gambling as a source of income or making money then thats really a big mistake.

[jrrsparkles]

Playing more is different from chasing your losses and if we compare what is the reason for most of the people to get addicted to gambling is just because of chasing their losses which will eventually never possible to reach the the losses we made unless we are lucky. OP learnt the lesson in right time or else you might lost more in the chasing race.
