How do you get over a bad loss?

[eightdots]

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.

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.

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.

This situation is directly proportional to the size of your loss. If your loss is great, it will not affect you no matter what the people around you say. It also has to do with your psychology. The stronger your psychology, the less you will be affected. If you are saying that we will win this time, you probably will not win. You just have to stay calm and plan with the resources you have. It's not easy to make this plan, but you still try. If you continue in this way after a loss, you may experience irreversible losses. So you have to stay calm and plan for yourself. This can prevent you from making any more losses.

Depends a bit where I am and who is around me. The first step after a big loss doesn't matter if it's in a physical casino or in online gambling is to take a break. In the past I tried a few times to recover big losses immediately, but that never worked and only lead to losing more money. Now I need at least several days to clear my head and get my emotions back in check. If I don't take a break I keep focusing on my previous loss and will not appreciate any small winnings, and my risk tolerance is not adjusted. The immediate reaction after a big loss in a physical casino is to get drunk with my friends and try to forget everything. I would give a good friend my wallet and tell him to not lot let me gamble again that night. When I am at home and gamble alone than I would close all gambling sites, take some chocolate and chips and retreat to the couch, watch one of my favourite movies and try to sleep after a sugar shock.

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.

The main difficulty that gamblers experience when they lose is the restlessness of the mind that engulfs their minds at that moment. This is a crucial point for someone to be able to do other things when their mind is not fully focused on what they are doing but as you said I agree a little, that is by sleeping, a person's mind pattern will disappear from restlessness and when he wakes up he will return  with a fresh mind. Maybe it can be an option for those who feel what to do when they experience a big loss in gambling. Besides that, another factor that is easy to do to forget about defeat is refreshing.

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.

what I experienced back then was not because I increased the bet. I still bet with the same amount. it's just that I do it in various ways in slot games. the method of buying the free spins and normal spins. But from this method there is no win at all. Then doing another deposit, and so on until a week has passed. That's when I realized that I was too stupid to think there would be a winning period at that time, so I used the money without thinking.for here i know if I wasn't playing for fun but playing without thinking to burn a lot of money lol.

its simple think but give huge impact to our psychology, while our mind refresh there is no more emotion thay could make us uncontrolled and careless with the game. Gamblers still easily influence by their emotion ,so thier mind only focus on how recover their money and forget about logical

[Hispo]

In general when I need to get over anything that got me depressed I take some time away from it until I feel better. I also try to socialize, spend time with my family friends and do things which I enjoy.

Since we are talking about money I try these activities not to have much to do with money (nothing expensive) so I can forget about it or heal faster.
I am very casual so I have not had a big loss yet, but that is probably I would do to feel better in a couple of weeks. 

Good luck.

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

Depends if I get too depressed or I lose the money after the enjoyment. Bad loss is not always a bad loss actually, some are losing because they have fun playing and they are prepared to lose the money while other are not since they are focus on making money which is not guaranteed in gambling. I usually do nothing when I incur a losses, it's freeze for about an hour and I know after that, I should move on and keep going. Gambling is too stressful most of the time, losing can make it worst.

If you have fun then you won't consider the money you lost a loss but you will treat it as a kind of fee to experience a fun and thrilling ride inside the gambling place. Some of us knew that making money in gambling is hard but they still try because they believe on their ability and experience.

It's possible for them to accept their defeats but there are times that they can go beyond their limits, making them feel bad about it later on. You feel frozen after a loss maybe because you can't believe it happened and you can't think of ways on how to get over it. In my case, I will be panicky and start thinking of ways on how to earn money again.

We know that emotions would be always there which it could really affect peoples decision on the most simplest way which is really that depending on how someone could really be able to control up their emotions.
Some are good and some arent thats why we do see different decisions and actions to be made on various situations or events because there are indeed factors which could really affect out
our decisions and actions been made of.When we do talk about on how to get over on a bad loss then i do mostly be getting away from my pc and do some activity like playing up basketball
or just simply be watching out some TV just to ease up the frustration and disappointment inside.It wont be that simple but it is something a good way on distracting yourself.

Yes, even it I play on landbased casino's it was really a great experience and you will not think of the money that you loss that night. Maybe you can afford to lose it, or it was just the experience of playing in a casino again with so many people around you winning big.

But for others, specially in online, it's very hard to get over, maybe the best thing to do is to really quit that game and not think about that money. If you don't have someone to talk to in the house, just browse the net and look for positive thoughts so that you can forgot about your bad experience that night.

Everybody does have bad loses while some can be big while other small but it is necessary for us to make sure that we stay tight and safe. It is always advised for us to gamble with the amount we know that we can afford to lose. We should not be greedy to the extend when we use a bigger fund to bet which could later make us to regret of our actions.

Most time when I have a bad day of loses I joy relief myself and try and take something that will releave me and make me relax. Relaxation is necessary when we have a bad day and should not allow our bad day or bad time to deprive us of the joy we need to have in the morning.

Losing has never been that a good feeling on which people would experience.Of course some would be in rage and some would just simply walk away and cry and even gets angry.
Getting over with losses or on times of frustration then it would be most likely be on distracting yourself via doing other activities or hobbies that you do have.
You should really prepare yourself with those disappointments once you had decided on touching up gambling.It do involves lots of winnings and losing
scenarios which you should make yourself able to accept on those things on point.

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

It all depends on your definition of a bad loss. It might mean losing big or gambling all your money after a big win. When I was young and very naive, I use to have some experiences when I gambled more than I can bear. In such moments I usually remember that there are times I have also won. The remembrance of my wins most times gives me the good feelings I need to overcome my sadness and regrets. Sometimes hanging out with friends or playing my favorite songs is another escape strategy.

But currently, I hardly have bad losses. This is because I now have a budget for gambling and I see gambling as entertainment. I would never gamble more than I can bear. I have limits to the amount I can bet games with and I try as much as possible not to exceed that amount.

[lienfaye]

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

Usually I watch a funny movies to forget that I had a bad day in gambling. Then I will stop playing for a while to get over the losses, but it depends on the amount that I lost. Sometimes it takes weeks for me before I will return playing again and that is if I already have a budget to play again.

If you have a bad day much better to do other activities that can make you forget what happened. This way, you can also prevent yourself from chasing your losses in gambling.

Yes, that's another way to get rid of the memory of a bad loss. Maybe watch some funny movies with your love ones and have a good laugh. At least removed that negative vibrations and emotions coming from that bad loss and you will be good throughout the day.

Or just have a small take with anyone close to you, maybe you can tell your story to him/her, about how to try to cope with that huge loss in gambling. And for sure you will get some good advise along the way.

You do simple entertainment that means a lot to you.
but it will not mean much to the gambler who is already completely addicted.
Have you ever seen a gambler who lost big and slammed his phone or computer furiously? some gamblers do, though that doesn't take away the annoyance.
some gamblers do something negative, and some like you, do something better.

I have never experienced a major loss. because I always limit the money in the casino. resentment persists even if the loss is small. but overcoming it all is easier than a big loss.

It can be a way to deal with the sadness we experience so that by watching a funny movie, we will laugh and the hormone of joy will replace the hormone of sadness. But once you get over your sadness, it's better not to go back to gambling because you can get another loss and it can make you feel sad again.

The important thing is that we know how to deal with the defeats we experience so that we don't keep thinking about those defeats. This may have something to do with the attitude we need to take to deal with grief.

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

You know what is my favorite thing to do, when I am in bad loss then I drink an alcohol and eating some of my favorites foods. Because what is in my mind is that it's better to eat than to lose again and that's the reason if when I loss a good amount of money then the rest of my money I spend it in eating my favorites food and also shopping as well. Actually in my history as A small gambler I  didn't loss big amount. because I gamble what I afford to lose.

All have different ways of tackling bad loss and your way of refreshing up on enjoying your time on eating your favourite foods and alcohol is also good.One of my friends has the same way of handling loss but my is just take a break from your gambling routine and do my work not at all thinking about gambling so after some time regain funds and come back to wager again.But we all have our own approach of handling the loss.

Yes exactly correct mate it depends on the gambler itself because as we all know that gambler can do anything of he will win or loss the game, and in My case what I am saying is what I do when I am in loss. And some gamblers do it and also other did not do it they are do something what they feel good for a loser, like watching movie like what ethereumhunter do if he loss, and others are eating foods and many more.

When you do that then the time you waste is very useless, it's better to use the 12 hours of time you have to do other work activities that have the potential to make money than having to buy beer and other expensive drinks it will only make you add to the budget you have to spend. you pay, or use the available time to sleep because this way will make you feel better and ready to do other activities.

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

It's hard to come out from a bad loss, it usually takes time my favorite thing to do is to take a break from gambling and do other hobbies until the memory of the bad loss disappears, it usually takes 3 to a week before I got out of bad loss, I hate bad loss and this is a thing that should be avoided, you can lose why not but not a loss coming from chasing losses or you've compelled for a reason to deposit a huge amount.
