How Problem Gambler Feels After Losing

[michellee]

I think often problem gamblers are crafted/created/produced in rather poor societies. In some countries gambling is just fun of rich (Monaco or Cyprus obviously). But in some countries (or people from some countries) are using gambling to become richer. So they see gambling wins as income. I think this idea is definitely damaging your mental health. Gambling is a fun of risking money to get pleasure of winning and more money. That's it.

In the short, medium and long term, it is clear that gambling can damage the mental health of people who want to make money from gambling because they do not see the potential risk of addiction to gambling. If rich people in some developed countries gamble, it's probably because that's how they socialize with their friends while discussing business.

But if people otherwise use gambling to make money, they can only dream of getting it even though a small percentage of them get it. But they don't see how they will react if they lose at gambling, which can put them in a prolonged depression.

I noticed this myself when travelling through South America a few years ago. In almost any country I went there was a state lottery where a lot of people played and talked about it. It was like a highlight of the week when the numbers came out. And then there were a lot of scratch card places where I saw often people wait in line to get new cards. It felt completely different to the lottery environment here in Europe. We do sometimes have hypes here as well, but they are rare and only happen for the Christmas lottery or big jackpots. And I rarely see people here doing scratch cards anymore. What surprised me was that there wasn't a lot of advertising for gambling, it must have spread through people talking to each other. It also seemed like the amount of money people used for gambling was higher as a percentage of their salary. This might be the case due to lacking opportunities to get out of poverty in those poor countries. Spending some money each week gives the small chance to become rich overnight, even if these small amounts each week add up to large sums over the years.

I experience this all the way in a land base casino "Post-Loss Speeding", I will quickly bet higher on the next game, whether it's slot or card games such as baccarat. It's because of the frustrations of the previous results, maybe because I made the wrong bet or I'm thinking of doubling my bet in a slot machine or going down, and then that bonus happens. So frustrating and that I'm made that I will bet bigger to somewhat compensate what I have lost, but it is wrong, it's just pure emotions running on me for during that.

This is the exact problem most of us are having when it comes to gambling. Aiming higher after lose and this time with high level of confidence on winning but eventually lose more. I see this as a kind of possession that has captured almost all of us gambling and its abnormal to be sincere with ourselves. At times, I ponder why is it general?

I have noticed, that after loosing, or loosing some bets in a row, I usually set the amount of my balance I try to reach, when I be ready to say "it is enough for today". And that is what stimulates me to gamble or continue loosing. I always end with thinking, why did I continue playing, why didnt I stop after X bet or after loosing Y. Anyway, after losing balance, I often imagine how else I could have spent  amount lose, or what I could have bought for that amount.

Well that's actually our emotions taking over, and so our decision are clouded and it seems we can't control ourselves even if we say that enough is enough. This is the case even if we are in a winning or losing, we keep on going on, until we realized that it's too late, no more money to play and they blame ourselves for not stopping that early when we still have the money. And that thing is that it's very hard to control, or at least our logic mind come to senses and we completely stop.

I think the saying for gambling is not to rest until your money is exhausted and I think it is worst if you have gone out of your way to borrow money because you keep playing and chasing your losses to pay back but the harder you try to regain, the more difficult it is to get your money back. An addict never sees anything wrong when he losses , he feels the next game is his turn to win but never get to win and will not quit playing. In the past I have also experienced this kind of behaviour but was able to reduce the level of participation because I was not deeply involved into it.

I agree about when they decide to borrow money to regain their losses is the worse thing to do because they're not only gambling with their money but they are gambling with someone's money and we all know, that no one will gonna give a loan to the gamblers unless they put some non-sense terms about the money they need to pay and the gambler won't really care about that because all in his mind is the motivation to play again. Most of the time this happened in some 3rd world countries where people have less option but to take loans to those loansharks.

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.

If it's casino games yes most of them only needs a luck to win but a few also requires a skill in order be successful. The urge to win is indeed one of the things on why a gambler will come back and play again but this should be done in schedule because if not well it can cost you a lot of money and it can affect your life because you will only play gambling and forget about other things which are more important.

A problematic gambler will feel really bad and feel that their problems are only adding up and the reason why they play is they think it will give them a relief but it would be better if they faced their real problems as that is the only way to solve it.

I think it is better for poor people not to gamble because they can not correctly calculate their risks because they do not have enough education in the financial sector. They try to beat the system which has an advantage over them and when they don't succeed they look around for the culprits. So I would advise them to improve their education and find a stable job first and only then play gambling.

Those who are still struggling financially, or rather categorized as poor people, will cause problems after problems when they are familiar with gambling. They bet only for a win, when they are in a losing state, 77 percent of them will do something disgraceful just to get back to the gambling place.
Poor people bet only to enrich themselves by hoping for a fortune to get some money, but they forget that there is very little potential for victory against the system.
It is necessary to educate gamblers in order to control their emotions, gamblers need to thoroughly study the prospects of the financial condition that will be spent so that they do not regret when luck does not come their way.

Yes, many gamblers, it seems to me, are forced to return to the game simply out of desperation, when circumstances develop in such a way that it would seem there is no other way out of the situation in which they have driven themselves, it's like taking out a loan and losing their job.

[Dart18]

Chasing the losses had always been the main problem for me, before and even until now.
It's not something that can be controlled. If you want your money back you go bet more and you don't stop until you tie up the losses.
Once I tried to neglect it, went straight home and try to forget but it will keep on coming back to you and won't let you sleep.
You'd rather just play it than be on that condition where you are literally gritting your teeth to go back and play.

The experience that comes after one loses a game is one that I can't explain,it a feeling that goes beyond pain,especially when one plays with a very high amount.One can feel like giving up on life,commiting suicide,hurting anyone around,and better still feel like robbing to replace the money lost.So many people have giving up on life as a result of gambling,lost hopes and gone astray,but it is advisable to gamble bearing in mind that anything can happen,either winning,or losing.

I feel unmoved after losing some money in gambling because I gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose, infact yesterday I bet Liverpool to win against Crystal Palace accumulated it with 4 other matches unfortunately Liverpool drew their match whereas the other 4 bets was won, unfortunately lost the bet, I felt it's normal with gambling it's either lose or win, I believe gamblers who bet with huge amount of money and lost tend to experience bad feelings ranging from depression, aggressiveness, bad feelings etc thus gambling is not for everyone, if someone is not psychological balance such a person should desist from gambling.

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.

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.

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.

Gambling sites are offering offers that are hard to resist but still gamblers should know that they are playing gambling and there is no guarantee and surely of a win in gambling. So if anyone is getting attracted to gambling without knowing the consequences of gambling, then i am afraid it is the gambler's fault.
A true gambler will not feel bad because he already knows that gambling is a mixture of wins and losses.

That's a martingale strategy right there, where everyone thought it's a good strategy but eventually it is not.
A lot of gamblers are actually doing this, to make the lossing bets even. What if you keep lossing? Then guess what, you're lossing double or multiple times faster than your usual phase when you start betting with such amount.
I've personally have done this many times before when I was still single and still have time and extra money to gamble. Sometimes it work, sometimes it didn't. But in the long run, we were the one's who really lost.

I somehow agree to what you've said that in most poor societies, people there think short term and quick in terms of having money. They tend to look at gambling as part of the solution for their poverty but the actual of it is that they're stuck with that mindset and it's hard to break that norm for them. It is true that the mental health on this matter is going to be vital for those people that have been thinking as if gambling is the only way for them to get out of poverty.

When we are just still a noob then the most common strategy that we do might able to make use of and im guilty into this one on where i do really believe that i could really make easy profits on using this
strategy but sooner or later you would really be busting up yourself on using this strategy or simply not really that worth.If you do know on when to get out when you are in greens then its good but if
you do leave this automation for longer runs then expect that you would really be blowing up your capital in the most fastest way as possible.
When losing then it would really be just normal for us to have that reaction which would really be sad and disappointed.

The point is to be able to control playing gambling, if you are ambitious, it is possible only defeat will come. like what I do when I play gambling, if I get enough from the results of the bet, I go out of the house to do a fresh brain or other things to do other work that is not related to gambling. many people become victims of big defeats playing gambling as our self-introspection

Even at defeat, there are gamblers that won't accept defeat and what they want is to take time again and try to get as much losses as they can.
That's why it's not just all about the losses but also the pride that seems to be taken from them because sometimes, even you know that the game is hard to defeat, it's making you think through emotions that you can do it.

that's called so greedy. Gambling is actually can't be predicted and it was also depend on our luck. yeah that kind of gambler will always using all of available resource to make another bet until he will have nothing to be used for gamble. Controlling the emotion was the most difficult case.
The fact that if so many gamblers are not able controlling their emotions and this lead them to the big losses. I have my friend was always doing even more when he was suffering some lose caused by he was feeling curious if he was winning the bet.
I will never ever do that.

Indeed. There are gamblers that really don't like to accept losses because of ego and pride. These gamblers are typically the ones who frequent loss because they let their emotion overtake their way of thinking. Instead of being rational, they tend to be very emotional. They often have the urge to make up their losses even if it means going overboard. Having this kind of mindset could really get you lost in gambling and could probably lead you into unpleasant situations such as being bankrupt and developing anger management issues or even depression.

Hence, it's really important to be prepared well-enough first before deciding to enter and try gambling. Because gambling can corrupt you in the process if you're not firm enough about your principles. Addiction is the most common problem in gambling. And most people knew that already. Every person planning to try and make a bet must be disciplined and firm on his initial standpoint. Financial aspect is the one at the greatest risk in gambling, health aspect could be affected too as well as the way we treat other people and how we view life in general.

Simply put there are many bad losers out there not only in gambling but in everything in life, it is not odd at all to play a game with another person and if you happen to beat them they get in a terrible mood and they could even get aggressive with you, when that happens I never play with those people again as they cannot simply accept defeat, however a casino is not like that, and if you go against them hundreds of time they will respond to your challenge each time which will result in a loss of money way higher than what that person was planning at the beginning of his gambling session.
