How do you get over a bad loss?

What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?

First of all I never want to be in that situation so I make it clear whenever I make a bet which should be affordable for me to lose or else just don't bet at all. Money management is really important for everyone, it may not get you rich quickly but it will save you from getting bankrupt.

Well, after a loss if the amount is considerably high then I will distract my concentration onto something else like a long ride at night, convo with closed ones, or atleast I will watch some motivational stories.

What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?

The most important thing that I initially do when encountering bad or huge losses are to have a break and stop gambling for a while. This is to avoid being greedy and trying to win back my losses as we all know what will happen next if we continue gambling after losing.

One of the best and favorite things that I do to immediately move on is by being with my loved ones and/or play with my dogs as those will keep my mind off any bad experience that I encounter and also keep me from overthinking things such as "what ifs".

But still after a few days, I will still continue gambling like nothing ever happened and enjoy when I win.

To get over a bad loss in my case even though it's not a big amount to start with but it is still a loss after gambling my funds that I can afford to lose which is to make myself focus in other things or activities instead of thinking or making myself remember or still involved in things that is the reason why it happen. What I mean is to make myself busy with work, watching movies on Netflix, doing physical exercises or workout, playing online/offlinr games and more choices to do that is not gambling related. It would also help keeping yourself not becoming greedy wherr being greedy makes you win huge amount or recover lose amount that you bet.

I usually go fishing in a quiet and calm place, because it can relieve stress and anxiety when I experience a loss in gambling, for example yesterday I lost $300 in gambling made me feel lost, but on the one hand I also don't blame the gambling site, but more to myself and make my mind aware that it's a risky game, so fishing will make me calmer

Shaking my head and tell to myself that I will not gambling anymore then next I will start gambling again because I always saw bonus and promotional ads of casino in my email.  

Seriously, I have a lot of pet dog since I’m a breeder now. Playing and walking with them help me relieve stress to my bad loss in gambling. I can think carefully and do acceptance to my loss if I where with them since I’m with them. In general, You just need to get away that will give you more depression and avoid being alone to get over quickly to the bad experience.

The way I deal with bad loss is by simply moving on, that is why I always set limits to the amount I used for gambling, and if ever I go beyond that, and end up losing I will just move on to some other thing other than gambling.

Watching football games have been one of the helpful ways I have always helped myself to overcome a bad day.

Only times heals the wound on that kind of loss. If it's fresh, it really hurts and very depressing especially if you managed to lose a very high amount of money for you.

I can recover immediately though if I was able to win it back in that very day. Above all, I try to be less emotional and just move on from it.

What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?

Most of the time i'd take a break by playing one of my favorite games, watching some streams, or ordering myself a comfort food like ice cream. To make myself feel a bit better I sometimes visit a sports betting thread on Reddit to see if others also went through the same loss as me or even worse since there are always people who have long shot parlays. I look for different ways to not get swept up with the loss since it can get really bad later on if you're still struggling to move on with your losses.

close the laptop, leave everything related to the casino and go watch while eating casually at the cafe
closing my laptop usually takes a while if I experience a big loss and it can take up to a month to come back again

Think of something that can make you stop and rest. Turn your attention to things that can make you forget about losing and don't push yourself too hard to chase victory.

I don't know what's actually good for people even though it's actually good for me. I will stop gambling if I have reached the target loss limit in a day, it can really help me control spending money on gambling. If you like to gamble, then you should also be able to think about this loss limit so that you are not affected financially in the long term.

What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?

I go on shopping, lol, probably to ease my mind of that big and bad lost  the other night. When I was working, I had to call my office that I will not going to work, I know that its a bad excuse, but I can't get myself to go to the office or even move as I feel lethargic and not in the mood the whole day.

Unless, I will go to buy some things for myself and totally forget what happen to me.

I guess it's more money to spend but that's therapy to me.

[Jating]

Nothing I guess, although I will have difficulty sleeping thinking about that bad loss, but once I got my rest, the next day I will be normal.

Of course, I will have to go back and see what's wrong with me or why I didn't quit that early when I still have the money and chooses to play for me and be greedy. Just some lessons for me to learn and then life goes on and never look back at that bad lose. But I understand what others may have to go through before moving forward after suffering a defeat and a huge one.

Learn from it, bad losses can be a big eye-opening lesson for those who are wiling to learn from it, if you don't learn from it the same thing can happen over again, the most popular way people lose money is through greed, thinking you are smarter than scammers will turn you into the hunted.

The crypto golden rule could be also applied to gambling: never "invest" what you can't afford to lose.

I'm not really keen in gambling, and when I do it is with little money. In the past, I remember having lost 1 BTC several years ago when it was really cheap compared with current prices, so it was painful but not so much. After losing it, I made some kind of "act of contrition" and learned the lesson, so I focused on working, making money and hodling instead of gambling or trading.

[Marykeller]

Due to my past loss in gambling, I have developed my emotions to the extent of not being moved when I have a big loss in gambling. Each time I bet, I try as much as possible to remove my mind from what I gambled on immediately. Trying to focus my attention on comic movies. If peradventure  I lose or win lucky me that it happened that way. Not many regrets or excitement about my gambling game result.

The most important thing is to stop playing and not drawn in my emotions, i also don’t bet with much money that i can’t afford. And my favorite thing to do when i get all those bad feelings of bad luck or trying to revenge and bet higher which i know I’m only risking more money is that go straight to food, i prepare a sandwich or a nice juice. After all it’s only me who played risky and only my fault. Some starts blaming the casino which is nonsense

I usually do healing immediately, by singing karaoke to the fullest of my voice, and usually beating things a lot, but this is not to be imitated, because it is not good for health. So I think singing is a very good thing to do in my opinion.

Nothing, what difference should there be in doing or not doing, I don't understand, don't look for placebo effects, end up fooled by yourself.  The less time a loss affects him, the better player he becomes.

I think that with traditional casino games is more easier to overcome because you are betting for an hour (e.g.) then, if you made a profit, well done,but if you lose, no problema, tomorrow we try again.

I come from the niche of poker, in my case what I do is review the game histories and see where I was wrong or what decisions I can improve after analyzing how much was my fault and how much the variance is.

It may sound arrogant and pretentious, but it's actually a process that mature up over time, that is, I get on with what I have to do, that's why it's important to plan time lapses before and after playing your game sections.

 There's a post out there that mentioned the question if you gamble while on vacation, imagine taking losses and then having to deal with it on vacation, so, you have to deal with it all the time and get over it, be happy.

In my case, not food, but usually, I just watch movies to forget what I had lost.
I don't check my game histories as going over it would only give you headache.
Better stop for a while and do things that you believe are worth your time.
As you said, if you will play using money that you can afford to lose,
it may not be that hard to let go as compared to playing using money dedicated for your bills.

The good old days of taking a break or some of the time take some moment to get regrets on why I got greedy. Usually it will just take a minutes to reminisce the bad thing on what I did but after that I move on already since I won't be able to change that fact.
