How Problem Gambler Feels After Losing

[Little_Sister]

I agree since money has great importance since it is needed in our daily lives.  So losing a huge sum of it is like losing our capability to survive in this world.  And if we are drained out of money then it will really feel like dying because we won't know how we can continue living if we are out of money especially when the date to pay the household bills are due and we have lost all the money on gambling.  Thinking of that kind of scenario makes me chills. LOL, so I think we better gamble responsibly to avoid such scenario.

So the main factor of gambling is allocating funds that can afford to lose, we realize that getting involved in gambling is very close to losing and many gamblers leave the online casino with losses. You are right, we have regular monthly expenses such as electricity bills, water and others so don't put more money in gambling if you don't want your monthly money needs to be lost in gambling bets.

I agree, we must only spend money that is free or we can afford to lose.  If we spend too much and lose too much, the outcome won't be favorable.  It will also be the start of frustrations, and stress due to the problem of having not enough money to spend for our daily needs, then we will succumb to borrowing money which often times has an interest.  It would be lucky for us to find people who put very little interest but that is rare.  Then the looping cycle of working, debt payment, and loaning starts.  This will put so much pressure and strain on us if we won't moderate our gambling activities.

No matter what I say about gambling casinos, very little will be said because when gambling When the amount of profit is more than the loss, the feelings of the mind are different. But last night Barcelona and Rayo Vallcano The middle match was a goalless draw last night and I lost about $190. So you can never imagine what will come and go on gambling side.

I just want to say thank you to the Center who produced this video.  Everyone was so kind to me.  I know what I only have myself to blame, but if this video helps someone realize their own addiction then it served a great purpose.  When I re-watch this video it makes me physically ill to remember where I was then.  Thank God I am in a better place.

Here is a photographic difference between a normal brain and an addicted brain.

However Gambling is more likely to lose than win, Casino visitors more often leave with an empty wallet than take home some money. Gambling will be a difficult disease to cure for someone whose monthly income is mediocre, the money that should be spent on electricity bills, water, family needs and others must be cut to be allocated for gambling. Gambling must be prepared to lose, should not be too greedy by hoping for a big win, because there is no guarantee of being able to bring home money after leaving the Casino.

Now must of the people addicted in gambling . Especially young boys are more addicted to gambling. And now with the introduction of online casinos, everyone can play gambling from the comfort of their home . For this the influence of gambling is increasing day by day. When someone loses gambling and loses his money.  Then they try hard to recover that loss.  And they cannot quit their gambling addiction.  And keep losing more and more money.  Eventually they lost everything.

[lienfaye]

Only a fool would gamble if he had problems with his finances.

How can that fool be able to gamble if he is struggling with his finances?

Where they will get the money? How is it possible to finance their gambling activity?

It would be better if we rephrase the statement into:
"Only a fool would gamble if after losing big money, will continue to chase loses no matter what until no money left"

Well, that's actually pretty common here in my country.
Even with this poverty level people would still find a way to gamble regardless of the financial situation. But mostly, people that struggle financial are the ones who usually gambles a lot. Not in a casino, but with a traditional gambling from the neighborhood like Chinese poker, mahjong, and cock fighting. A person who struggles financially doesn't mean he can't gamble.

Unfortunately thats true. The one whose struggling in their finances have more guts to gamble because they want to double their money quick through gambling. You'll be curious to know why they're doing that despite their status and where did they get the money but I believe in the saying "If there's a will, there's a way" so there's a way to feed their habit/addiction.

Anyway, If a gambler lose and running out of money, its depressing, for some of us probably they will try to gather money again so they can chase their losses. Its hard to accept the losses especially if you're not prepared for it or the money you use is meant for important things. Thus its a must to know what you're getting into and you're prepared for the worse case that can happen.

Not only yong boy I had already sawn many teenage children are talking about cricket match ,football league for gamble . And especially nowadays, various gambling websites are promoted very attractively by various YouTubers or Facebook ads and the children who follow them are attracted to them.  Then for gambling money they get involved in various types of criminal activities at a young age and for gamble fund they are taking money without telling their parents.  I have also heard many news reports of many m**der about taking money after gambling losses.  I think this is not a positive side but if teenage children are addicted to gambling like this it will bring suffering to the future generation.

[fiulpro]

Well the problem gamblers do have a guilt of loosing therefore at the end they won't let it go just like that they will honestly try and win back as much as they can as well, which will eventually make them loose even more therefore this guilt trip will make them be in the loop without getting out of it as well.

Other than that some casinos might try and make the gamblers even more comfortable even after they might have lost immense amount of money 💰 by providing them either *free slots* or *free bets* or even giving them offers on *hotels* *drinks* etc. Therefore it's very different and as long as you are a problem gambler it's honestly a trap everywhere.

I will watch the links that you share one by one later after my work is done, I think this documentary is important for me personally, but what interests me right now is about photography of the difference between normal brain and addicted brain.
and this really took me by surprise, to be honest I don't have any idea so far regarding addiction, it's interesting for me to follow what you've researched so far.
your post is really useful for me personally although I haven't watched this link and I can't conclude anything yet. but thanks.

This is happening because of the advancement in technology . With the advancement of technology, gambling sites are coming to the market with new advantages day by day . Which is attracting the youth towards gambling . And gambling is slowly destroying the life of all gamblers.

Sorry to hear that mate , you lose that amount in unexpected  way though gambling is indeed no place where to lose or when to win.

it is always normal to feel  bad or sad when losing , but remember to save when you win so everytime losses comes then you have another funds to try winning back the losses.

This picture can represent anything IMO. The pic on the left may seem like the brain is having increased activity while the one on the right isn't. I've watched a documentary somewhere that tackles about how the brain can emulate the brain activity of an addicted person during sleep. It's crazy that we know so much about how an addict's brain works, but not enough to discern why it is somehow similar to the brain activity of a person who's sleeping. All we know is, once the brain created new connections and created a new source of 'pleasure', it's difficult to undo those.

And what does it mean? Please, clarify for those who can't watch full video. From the what I see, some central parts of Joy's brain became "colder" . But the question is what this parts are responsible for.

But thx, when i'll see such tomographic picture, I ll know that this person is addicted

Well, this is a bit of a stretch but the conclusion that you made happens to some of the gamblers who consistently lose their control over their expenses.

The problem of gambling stems from its very nature- the 'high-risk, high-reward' type of scheme. People would constantly gamble away their resources in order to expect the hope of winning the jackpot, thus multiplying their initial bet. While this may seem attractive, most of the gamblers lose their way and eventually exhaust all of their resources without even winning the jackpot.

What most gamblers feel after they lose is that they either: (1) gamble again and hope that they would win this time; or (2) stop and call it a day.

As the title stated, I stumbled on an article[1] published way back in 2021 and wanted it to share with you in case anyone is interested in how a problem gambler's mind works after losing his bankroll.  It was stated that losing a huge amount of money is a sign that we must stop our gambling activity but...

Why do gamblers continue to bet even after they lost?

Gambling is a thing of luck that involves either a lost or gain. Because of the outcome in Gambling  is(lost & gain)even if one lose he would want to play again to see if their will be luck to win in a game. Gamblers believe  if they don't win today they might win tomorrow,  that's the patience Gamblers have.

That's the hope of winning next day which keeps on urging the gambler to keep on gambling despite being losing money every day. Gambling has too much attraction that it automatically becomes addition without people even knowing it.

To the OP question, we feel bad after losing in any field of life and gambling is no different. No one like losing but the ratio of losing in gambling is more.

Honestly, I think gambling activity is like a loop, whether we win or lose we tend to come back again and again.  If we win, we come back to win more, and if we lose, we might not admit that we chase our losses but for sure, we come back to try our chance again.  Just like the loop, we can't stop until we break that loop and that is stopping our gambling activities.

I can't say if I feel bad if ever I lose, there is a small sign of regret but it is just a temporary feeling because it will be gone after a minute or two probably because I always play with the money that I can afford to lose.

Join Community, are most people addicted to gambling because they are anti-social people? It's not easy to change the habits of a person who doesn't have a social life and then join a community for any reason, especially if that person is already addicted.
Feelings will be even more depressed when the money used is completely exhausted because don't have the money to go back to chasing what have lost.

Do we have counseling sessions for gamblers where they are taught how to control their risk, and how to control their emotions after a loss or a win? No, we don't have.

How can we expect the majority of gamblers to behave like a professional and not regret or chase losses when there is no governing body to teach them? We don't provide any sort of tutorials to gamblers and accept them to be clever and intelligent enough to solve all their problems on their own.

It's more on self-admission. Once they admit it, they will be given proper treatment by the medical practitioners that are intended to help them. And with the assistance of their family and friends, the treatment becomes easier and faster for them. But i don't think they will gamble again after that, but if they still do that, i guess they should be responsible gamblers and only gamble in moderation.

Behavioral addiction generally does not have a complete cure. Gambling is one of those bad habits that are difficult to get rid of as long as a person is able to play just by owning a smart phone and a private place away from the eyes of others that can embarrass him by monitoring, whether it is in private treatment centers or among family members who want to support him.
The best way, in my opinion, is to fill his time entirely with other activities such as sports and running a business .
