Slow down if you want to recover your losses

[o48o]

Depends what games you play. In some games like craps you mentioned, there's no strategy really, and you might as well put all in one bet because it wouldn't matter if you slowed down or not probability stays same.

But i admit that tend to do this on skill based games and sports, adrenaline from losing makes be bet even harder without thinking straight and instead of analyizing teams or fighters, i go with my gut, trying to catch big wins with high risk. Best way for me is to have a walk and breath fresh air about 30 minutes, and i shouldn't get back to my computer until i am totally cooled down. Otherwise i make bad decisions.

It is always a bad thing to chase losses so when I am on the red streak and have lost all my bankroll, I'll just stop and prevent myself from depositing again until my next gambling session schedule.  I find @OP's strategy interesting I wonder how much OP lost if the result of the roll is 7, betting $5 on each number. How many times do I need to win to recover that loss? I am not familiar with craps so this strategy stated by OP interests me.

Yes this way can reaally help you get out of your anxities, being anxious makes us to mlre things that we shouldn't, when we are about to have a lose streak, better to take a pause or maybe stop for the whole day so you can get relax and you will not get frustrated more because when you do yoh will forget to have a proper judgement.

I want to share my own technique on how I overcome my loss. You can share yours too on the comment below.

I recently experienced a heated game session on blackjack that I never experienced before due to I over extent my budget to chase loss. I was down by 200$ while my current bankroll is only 100$. Typically most user will do all in to quickly recover losses but my strategy is to slow down and bet only on craps 5$ on each number. Craps has a low house edge because your only loss is when 7 appear while the rest of the number that you didn’t choose will just result as draw.

Craps pays x2+ per win which is good to slowly recovering my losses. I just continue same bet and stop gambling for a day after I recover 50$ of my bet. I keep doing this per day until I completely recover all my loss slowly and rest for the week.

The slow down bets makes me think clearly and stop me for doing risky bet. This is most important lesson I learned on this messy situation.

While it is true the house edge can be very low on some of the craps bets you have available, and the fact that some of the bets can end in a draw can help you to slow down the losses you are suffering, we also need to remember that there is no guarantee you will recover any money while playing craps, in my opinion someone that feels like he is about to lose control needs to simply close the website of the casino in which they are paying and begin to do something else, as otherwise they will end up betting all the money they have in their account in an impulsive bet.

I've tried this multiple times as I mostly gamble on slots and dice and this doesn't always work out the way you wanted so on your case, you were lucky to be able to recover your loss slowly. Also, trying to bet all in to recover your loss is not always the best choice to do since you will just end up losing all of your bankroll faster.

For me, this method works depending of the gamblers luck since they could just loss the remaining balance slowly since it's doesn't usually works for us.

Actually, no matter what kind of gambling you play, if it's a game based on luck. the result is the same, depending on your luck. as another member here said, you are pretty lucky. yes, you are lucky to be able to recover your losses even if it takes days. uniquely, you are able to control yourself not to overplay. In fact, you can stop your betting session when you have made some profits. however, I'm not sure if this is a technique or. but the essence is not that, the most important thing is that you can recover your losses. plus, you can still enjoy the game session.

By the way, I think many of us know the concept like you do. however, most people find it difficult to quit when the game gets messy, or to end a gambling session when they have made a small profit and come back another time. I myself do not do it, because for me. play dice, slots, blackjack or whatever it is based on luck. just to enjoy the game, and have fun without thinking about winning or losing.

If you are playing games that are based on luck, the technique of the OP is really hard to achieve.
But maybe if it is in poker or sportsbetting, it may be true. Because you have high chance of recovering your losses if you know your games.
But it can work if you are a patient gambler, try using that technique also in hi-lo game, and bet small.
This is good if you have so much time to spare, you can recover your losses, but is it really worth spending significant amount of time recovering your losses?
Some people can devote their time especially if they lost a lot and they badly needed the lost money, but not a very good suggestion to chase your losses.

We should not aim to recover our losses, instead we have to start a new target every time we gamble and if its already on our limit and we are still losing, better to forget it and never chase any loses because you might lose more. This is gambling, a game of luck and even if you are going to slow it down there’s still no assurance to make money here so better to change your mindset and just enjoy playing.

[Baofeng]

I guess when you are down, your decision is clouded, you can't just simply slow down. On the contrary you might look for games that you can recover and win or at least gain some confidence back.

The other day I had the same experienced, had losing streak, playing roulette and slots with my $200 initial bankroll. I said I wouldn't over-extend my budget, but I can't believed that I will have that kind of bad day. Withdraw another $200, play $20 first on a slot put a max bet, win some, turn that $20 into more than $100. So play that $100 in the baccarat table, won over $400. So I was able to recover may bankroll ($200+$200) and then have some winning in my pocket. Probably just change my luck with that slot machine win, gain my confidence to play, and  change my luck.

It might able to work for you but not all people would really be ending up on getting the same results even though this game might sound really be that simple but it does still involved some luck.
You cant really be able to guarantee that you would really be able to make out some winning and recovery even on the slowest pace or manner which is something
do still matters with luck.Its not really that an assurance for it to happen for most gamblers if they are trying to make it as a recovery method.
Its one of the most non suggestible thing on gambling is on where you trying out to break or taking back on what you had lost.

Yeah, different people do have a different outcome in terms of any strategy or patterns that they will going to follow, if slowing down works on your end, it is not a guarantee that by doing the same other person will also manage to recover the losses that they've got, some might but some may not. Like you mentioned, it will depend on how luck will come up and back up your games.

A good reason if you can slow down, you will be able to re-assess what you doing wrong and try to adjust and change the strategy, but at the end it will go back to how luck will back you up.

It's good that you were able to see the solution to your problem and even better that you were able to share this solution with us. I want to note that not every player can realize his problem in a loss, and also not everyone can find a solution, much less openly share it with other players. Personally, I know a slightly different tactic, this is when, on the contrary, you double the bet every time you lose in order to win back your losses at one fine moment, but unfortunately this tactic does not always lead to a positive result, which is certainly very bad and is not a panacea in this case.

[chaser15]

In the very first place, why have the goal of recovering your losses? That's a DISTRACTION.

Just maintain a serious approach while playing strategy-based games and try your best to win.

If you have that goal of recovering the losses every time you played, you will just end up being pressured and that will affect your strategies.

You are playing games which you have illusion of control over and admit yourself that the house has an advantage. Unless you switch to a skill based game you are destined to lose all your money slowly forever. It is simple mathematics and worse than that, casinos can quite easily run algorithms that are designed to run you hot and cold during different time periods to entice as much of your money in as possible. The only sensible gamblers out there are those that identify the odds against them, accept that they will not make money against these casinos in the long run and stop playing. These casinos are not charities, they have huge bills to pay and all of that money is coming from the pockets of gamblers just like YOU.

There is no need trying to recover ones loss.
Most times, greed is the major factor that leads to greater loss because people want to make a hell lot of money in just a day and those that also earn salaries want to make their entire monthly salary a day so they can possibly go to the employers office and give the employer a resignation letter with a hot slap, JUST KIDDING.
I always tell me to always have a motive of closing a day with profit, no matter how small the profit might be and another thing is contentment.
Contentment is one great key to a successful trader because the moment a trader learns how to be contentment, he is half way to becoming a successful and one should also learn how to spend money on the necessary things rather than trying to show people an extravagant life he could barely afford.

It still doesn't change the fact that you are still relying on hope and luck to recover your losses go fast or slow you may recover your losses or you will not, I've done that several times sometimes I opted to take a coffee break, and think of my next sets of moves sometimes I recover my losses but most of the time I lose more, it's gambling no proven method even if you go slow, fast or take a break, just be comfortable on your losses, and you will be fine.

Good for you mate if it works for you, but I think most of us here still find it still losing in the end. Gambling is a game of chance and luck, and probably some skills, so if you think you don’t have that from the moment you start betting, then it’s hard to see profits later on when you keep on chasing your losses. It’s best to just stop gambling and cut your losses. Chasing some losses will never help you no matter how you take it slow, instead it will only increase your losses until you see yourself empty handed.

My worst day was losing all promo winnings on the Fruit Party, I have probably done over 60 bonus buys doing martingale. After 60 bonus buys my balance was drained and nothing left to chase the next bonus rounds, later I deposited more to chase losses and lost double of last lost balance. Took a break from gambling and then maxed out the Fruit Party slot after 2 months period. The main problem is to keep chasing the high multis while increasing bet size, I prefer to lose all balance but not do extra deposits. Slowing down can be replaced by taking a break if it is a rough day, IMHO.

[Riocasino]

You could recover if you bet all in 100 usd in 2 itmes and make more. why wait.  the longer you play  on the casino the higher you chances to lose.

if you want to make big money then make big bet and quit on black jack. or lose it all.

[Sanitough]

I ain't recovering nothing. If I already lose a big amount, then that means that that day/session is not for me. Only ever lost $20 a session so there's no point chasing those after I lost them on each week. But yeah, this strategy works if you want to get something back from what you spent on your gambling, or at least recoup some of your losses in the process. You will, most definitely, not get 100% returns on what you put out especially in gambling (unless you're really lucky and all that).

Also, how is Martingale equivalent to slowing down your bets

Probably, when you are already in the verge of losing, it’s better to just call it off and just come back again when you think you are ready to lose  since gambling is designed to make us lose and make the house at its profits. Unless if you are too lucky to chase all your losses and even surpass it, then it’s a working strategy for you but it will not guarantee us that we can rely on that. Or if you want to test all yourself if you can really beat the house, then go for it but always gamble on the amount you can always manage to lose.
