How do you get over a bad loss?

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

After a severe loss you have to be strong to not get down and depressed. I try to forget about it, focusing in another matters when talking to people and I try to keep a positive mindset that I can recover that money after some time, although I can't gamble anymore meanwhile. My advice for people facing this issue is to forget the loss and forget gambling temporarily until you can think about what happened without compromising your emotional negatively.

And the most important: never try to solve a mistake with another. Some people lose money gambling and think the solution is to drink till getting drunk, while others develop different kinds of abusive behavior against themselves or others.

when i have a bad loss the thing i do is to pause and study my mistakes when 1 lost at gambling. because for me mistakes and defeats at gambling are lessons that we must learn to be more careful when we want to play at the gambling table.
bad losses or losses will often be experienced by gamblers but they will almost do the same thing as me and after that will come back again at the gambling table

A bad loss is not something to be prayed for, nor wished for someone. However, certain risks and ventures turn out being a bad loss. The thing to understand is that, a lesson or two is supposed to be learned as to why such happened despite the preparations of effort put in. It is better to not dwell on the loss, but instead, find means to occupy the mind by playing games, going shopping, hanging out with friends or even just being alone working on an old task. Whatever be the method, after a bad loss, I first of all become grateful for the opportunity to discover a new way to not try the failed venture and also I seek another way to get or make what I want happen.

It sounds like a redemption in the same day lol.
There's nothing much you can do with a loss anyway, regardless how huge or how small it it. A loss is a loss which kinda normal in gambling. You should move on,. it's not the end of the world though lol.
Cool your head off before you get back to gambling and try to redeem that "bad loss" of yours.
For those people who have supernatural beliefs, gambling with heavy feelings does not attract luck.

When you do make yourself get involved with gambling then you should really be making yourself that prepared for losses because you would eventually be flooded out by lots of losses.

Gamble when you do seek for fun and dont make yourself that believe that you could really make money with it on assured manner which it cant really be  that possible.

Some do easily move on but there are people which are really that impulsive or highly reactive when it comes to gambling or simply losing money
which its never been recommendable because you would likely do lots of mistakes or further bad decisions you would be making along the way.

Do I even have a bad lose? That's the question I am asking myself because, I'm somehow conscious of my gambling habits and the stakes I place on a bet. I guess what I can call a bad lose would be a close win that went south in the last minute or perhaps on an accumulated bet slip and it got damaged with one prediction. If these could go for a bad lose, I simply telluseld it wasn't my money and I can try again. It doesn't get better or worst than that. Can't go about having headache over over is lost and never coming back. That would be some great lose on both sides.

Someone who is a gambler have what it takes to be in a bad loss, except that the person is not a gambler, at sometimes when someone venture into lose of a game it will make the person to redress and look for the possible solution to correct it fault, from my understanding losing any game will not caused me any harm because i know quit well from my understanding that it's a correction if assume you are a consistent gamnler.

This is a seemingly simple question but a very important one given that every gambler copes with their respective methods.

The problem with some is that, they cope their losses through gambling again in order to recover such. This puts them in a situation where they are in a cycle- a vicious cycle of betting, losing, recovering, and betting again. This can be potentially dangerous especially if they cannot escape this kind of mindset and situation.

Personally, I cope via doing the hobbies that I am accustomed with. I play video games and/or just read/watch videos on YouTube- so basically, anything to distract my mind from remembering that I had lost an amount of money in my gambling spree.

just remember that the loss is not the last one that you will experience if you are here in gambling. so long you are here in this habit, you will always experience loss at any point in time. by then, you should already know how to contain yourself in times of losses. usually, i just move on to losses by not going back at the same day. maybe few days, and try again my luck. because if you will chase your losses, high likely that you will get screwed up again and again.

Many people say gambling is for fun, but that is often not achievable. I often want to make gambling as entertainment. but. when I lost $100, I added $100 even in 1 week I lost a total of $1000 because of my failure to control every loss. Instead of quitting and stop playing, I assumed that if I was going to win, I would definitely win and so on. So without realizing that, I already spent a lot of money on this game which is said to be for fun. just be careful with a Fun, if we can't control ourself, it will be trapped for more bigger losses.

I also don't believe in gambling for fun. Every cent matters to me that's why I take my gambling seriously. It would be more entertaining and fun if we always win. There's no fun in losing that's why can't believe people just gamble for fun.

Didn't we know that those gambling professionals and whales are serious about winning even though they already have big money? Then these average gamblers will say they just gamble for fun. I believed this people that gambling for fun can't even get move on easily once they loss.

[Poker Player]

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

Well, I am going to refer to poker specifically, since I play casino games on an occasional basis, with money that I can afford to lose, and I never exceed the budget that I have foreseen.

As for poker, I could divide the question in two: what is a bad beat and what is a bad session. Bad beads are something you get used to when you've been playing for years. Having more than a 90% chance of winning on the turn and losing on the river happens to me every day, so I'm (most of the time) emotionally neutral.

In bad sessions usually happen several bad beats and coolers and the best way to deal with it is emotionally neutral too, although we are human and sometimes it can affect your mood a little. If that's the case, I make the session shorter. I close earlier, and come back when I'm more rested, to play as emotionally neutral as I can.

That's right. By continuing to chase our losses on that day, we will experience bigger losses, especially if we deposit more money to gamble.
Gambling will have two outcomes: win or lose and if you can hold yourself back when you lose and leave the casino at that time, you can minimize the amount of loss.
Maybe you should do other things unrelated to gambling so you won't be too sad and forget about your recent loss.
That way, if you go back to gambling a few days later, you won't think too much about the losses from a few days ago and don't try to catch up with the previous losses because it will be difficult for you.

avoiding the computer and then rushing to go find a Cafe on the mountain to calm the mind looking for a cool atmosphere looking for women to have fun there, maybe that's an effective way to forget a little about the losses that I experienced

[Pierre 2]

It is quite obvious that bad losses may be hard to get over for gamblers. I think most of them rather keep playing until they feel they win enough so by that capture a satisfaction. But I think it may be better to just pause yourself and wander around sea (if you are in coastal region) or just woods possibly. These will relax your mind, sightseeing is awesome. Also breathing fresh air will recover your mind.

BAD LOSSES?
Getting over loses is something different and getting over bad losses is totally something different. Remember that gambling is people from 18 years and above  and people are always advised to play responsibly especially withoney you can afford to lose.
Most times when I play casinos, it's basically for fun while hoping to make some cool cash  and if along the line I blow my money then, a chilled bottle of beer does the trick of getting over the loss.

But on cases of bad losses which isn't so common with me, then I think hanging out with friends helps as we could talk about a whole lot of things(I have crazy friends tho).
Most times bad losses come as a result of trying to recover a previous loss, which leads to revenge betting and greater losses.

There's many thing you can do: watching a movie, have a vacation, playing online games, go to the party, have a sex etc.

Although big loss in gambling is really hurt, but gamblers shouldn't forget gambling is for fun. So they need to accept gambling isn't to chase money, the more you chase the more you will loss. This is why I never gamble with huge money for only one day, because I can't accept the amount I will lose for just one day.

It's good that you were able to recognize where you went wrong in gambling. Self-assessment and acceptance is essential for you to move forward and break free from your bad gambling habits. Which in your case is chasing winnings despite its consequences. Increasing your bet over time doesn't necessarily mean that you would also win big. It all depends on probability and your luck. If you think you can win if you bet more and more, then you are wrong. It isn't always the case as every game is different in nature. Unless you are playing lottery, but the odds of you winning is also slim given the number of balls to be drawn.

In gambling, the player must really know how to control himself. Otherwise, your bad habits will take over and control you instead. You should be a responsible gambler and not just a mere gambler who don't know the right approach and attitude in certain situations. You have to take care of yourself or else, you'll end up miserable because you get addicted in gambling. Gambling is addictive and if you won't learn how to control yourself, you won't survive in this industry. You'll just end up being trapped into series of downfall that you'll eventually feel remorse upon yourself for not doing better when you knew better.

What I noticed about my friends is that gambling is not that fun, all of them are looking for a way to bet with small amount to win a very big amount, but none of them has won this way before and the small amount the are betting with is becoming bigger. Only few occasions that we win and that is when we bet on just one or few matches. Because people are using gambling as a means of looking for and chasing after money brings emotions and losses are the result. Gambling can be fun, but I think just for only few people that see it as a means of not making money but to have fun when they have nothing they are doing.

What you say is quite representative of us as betting lovers, and I agree with what you say.

Often times we get stuck in a mindset like "this time we'll win", but in reality most of it doesn't live up to our expectations.
IMO, this will be a problem if we don't change the mindset. and as you said, be careful with things that are fun.
those words should be a reference for us to be able to control the situation, not easy, because I believe the hardest part is self-control.

as I said before, if we don't change the mindset. it can be a problem, something pleasant can be a disaster. not only on psychology, but also has an impact on greater material losses.

Having bad loss can way you down, if you can't control or contain the loss. If I have a bad loss,it means that I shouldn't gamble any more because If continue playing and think of winning everything you loss then am sorry, if possible you might also loss your head. I will go visit a friend which I can share my loss story with,so that can give me words of advice and even cheer me up with his funny jokes about people that have even lost more than I have. Then finally,we will both go to the cinema to watch a movie.

After all that I won't gamble for some period of time so that I can save my gambling money to recover one or two expenses am suppose to use some of the money I gambled with.

Eat and sleep.   You can't do anything about it, there's no load point on where you could go return to a specific time so might as well swallow the truth that you loss and just sleep on it.
Don't even try to chase the loss as you may end up swelling the damage that was done. There are other things to do and it would be better to just focus on those to forget what happened.
