How do you handle your losses

[Franctoshi]

Quite for sure it's emotional when gambler loses a bet but it depends on the amount of money that I used in my staking, that will actually determine the extent at which I'm gonna feel pataining my lose. This reason,  the way I've used in handling my loses is, I ensure each time I'm placing my bets I don't over bet by putting large amount of money and also ensure using the amount money that I'm with losing.

Make deposit, play the game and forget about anything happened "except the win". I'm only that simple now, but sure for an amount I can afford to lose. Gambling isn't just to win so far, it's the mindset I've had about gambling because at the end of the day I no longer think it's good to chase winnings at any cost.

There is no way to always stay calm about dealing with losing, it should just be forgotten unless they get too addicted to the amount of money they can't afford to lose. Getting back to basics, gambling is another way of having fun and money should not be main goal although money is possible to win.

I think handling loses in gambling is very easy, if we can learn to do it right from the foundation, that is before we even gamble the money away..
Like what i do is -
first, make sure that I am not gambling with an amount of money I am not comfortable losing..
Secondly - before I even start gambling, I build a mindset that that money is already gone, this helps me in the sense that if eventually the money is lost without winnings, I don't feel it because the money was already lost even before I started gambling...

This strategy can be difficult most especially for those who are not disciplined enough, but the medicine is to start from the foundation, which is - gambling only with an amount of money one is comfortable losing.

I ensure my emotion is in check:
I remind myself regularly that I am only having fun that can either be winning or loss, and what ever be the outcome it is for the fun of the moment and not a get rich quick scheme.

If you can remind that your main goal is for having fun, I believe you won't have a problem with your losses. This is the ultimate way to deal with your losses, you focus on getting entertainment and don't really care about the losses. As long as you use small money and it is limited money, you won't feel so hurt when you get losses. The complicated problem only rises when we use big money, even worse it is loan money. That's why only use the extra money and it must be money that can afford to lose.  

True. Problem only comes when you gamble to earn a living because you rely on it completely, and you have no real job that will feed your family. If you gamble, make sure to spend only your extra money and not those funds intended to pay the bills, otherwise you will just worsen the scenario and create another problem once you lose the funds. Or better yet, don’t gamble if you think you are not ready to lose, that way you won’t face future troubles.

I think in this case calm is the main key. defeats and wins are actually normal conditions because regardless of anything we cannot avoid losing when we are in gambling. The problem is that there are still many people who always play more ambitiously in the next session when they have lost.
Indeed, there are several strategies to minimize defeat, but when we have more ambition about winning, this is actually not good for the next game because we don't focus too much and enjoy the match because our thoughts are winning.

You are right. If someone can be calm whenever they get losses, everything will be fine. However, not every gambler can feel calm when they get losses. There are many gamblers to be out of control when they get losses. Although they have enough knowledge and experience, sometimes they still can't control themselves. In this matter, I assume it is all about an individual's nature or characteristics. It is not so different with people who are ambitious to chase winning. It may be their nature to always think about winning, or it is because of the wrong goal/purpose of joining gambling. But there are also some people how do that because of less of knowledge and experience.

I don't want things too deep. I handle losses the way I take the same response as when I experience big disappointments and regrets.

The losing amount is also a significant consideration. If that's a huge amount involved, then moving on might take time but on the other hand, if the loss amount is quite small and can be handled, then just a bit of taking a break from gambling will do the trick of how to move on.

Don't focus too much on ways how to handle losses but instead, try our best to build a good winning streak on every of our gambling sessions.

Well, just accept the fact that to gamble is to lose your money, and not to earn a living, so be prepared on it rather than seeing gambling as a good source of living. That is why when you gamble, never spend more than you can afford to lose but settle on small amounts that you are ready to lose. That way, you will never see gambling as a way to make ends meet but only a good source of entertainment, and earning profits might only be a bonus.

We each have our own mindset, and some of those suggestions will not work for us. But I noticed in myself that to cater my losses, I have to ride my motorcycle for 20–30 minutes or have a drink with a beer that can ease my mind because I am the kind of person that, whenever I have something that I need to solve, I don't sleep as long as I haven't solved it. It is the same when I am losing; I want to win it back, but I am glad that it didn't happen to me as I am just a casual player who only plays with small money and rarely.

That's for people who are extroverts and I do agree that it works. I mean walking about 20-30 minutes even if around your neighbourhood could help those people out as well. I am not that type of person, I am an introvert who hates going out of my house for any reason possible, if given the option I would lock myself in my house and never leave it and if I can technically do it, then I would do that all my life.

So, my losses are usually followed up by taking a powernap, a siesta if you will and that's the type of thing that I would definitely makes me feel better. I mean if I sleep even just one hour during naptime? That would make me feel like the freshest mind of all time.

People are different which it would really be that different when it comes on how you to ease out that frustration and anger towards your losses.Some might able to take it away via walking or going out side but just like you on which i do prefer to stay inside my house and would rather having a sleep or would really be doing some gaming on my pc just to ease out that kind of emotion which overflowing.If you are rally that
not good on handling out your emotions then you would definitely be that impulsive and would make even more mistakes out of your gambling activity.This is where you should really be that
careful because if not then you would expect the worst.

I have to convince myself that it's just a game. Losing is something natural, so there's still the next day to play to win. Of course, you have to think of playing casino just for fun, so you don't feel disappointed, let alone curious when you lose.

Unless you can accept the loss on your own, you should not go to the betting section. First you have to deal with the loss in yourself. Even if you are going to trade there will be losses so first you have to build your ability to handle losses then you can start trading. So I would like to say that those who bet in the gambling section need to strengthen their mentality the most. Because the gambling section will depend entirely on luck. If you are lucky you can win. And without luck you can never win. So you have to always participate with a strong mindset to deal with it otherwise you may end up having a heart attack. So before participating in the gambling section you need to make your mind up in such a way that even if you lose you can stand properly and adjust yourself.

That way, you will never see gambling as a way to make ends meet but only a good source of entertainment, and earning profits might only be a bonus.

The fact that when you're not a full time gambler makes you understand that you should look into gambling by that way.

So, expectation will not exceed from what you're thinking and you'll just out there to gamble at any time as you wish. But, those wins that you may take as you gamble will be surprisingly good because you have never expected them.

And as for the losses that you need to deal with, there are gamblers that have hard time accepting the consequence of what they've done so, losing is hard to accept but eventually, it has to be accepted.

I got to sleep or watch a movie or go out for a cup of tea or coffee.

Buying yourself a cup of coffee or tea when you lose is a great treat. Even if you're on the verge of losing more, all you have to do is to sip some of it.
I like flavored drinks and that's really helping me when my mood isn't that great and the gambling results aren't favorable and good.
That's a stress reliever and everyone does have their way of releasing the stress hormones that are due to losses.

Maybe you're good at handling your losses. Most of the time users after loss tries to retain their normal living with the sip of tea or coffee. Whenever we feel like losing, taking a sip of coffee or tea will give some relaxation to the mind and lets us decide whether to run behind the loss or not. Most of the time we never try to analyse the reason for loss and just go behind the loss, which ends with massive loss.

It is a relaxing way of dealing your losses and that's why whenever you're in that situation, try to spoil yourself and that will ease the feeling of disappointment.
We have to find ways on how to deal with losses and if this strategy is going to make you feel better, just keep on drinking the best tea or coffee you want.

In the beginning, I was involved in gambling, my favorite slot game, blackjack, dice, sometimes I could spend hours playing slots with countless money I spent and I realized that the win was not on my side, the consecutive losses that I get, I think this kind of situation can harm my finances, so I think about how to deal with all the losses that I get in gambling.

Then I try to think about learning other types of games to overcome losses.
I tried to study sports betting in as much detail as possible, especially football betting with a good score policy, I managed to do it all to cover the losses I had experienced for a while, overall dealing with losses is not emotional basis, greed for me, but turning the corner in another type of game that I am really good at, I realized that I really couldn't handle losses if I didn't master the types of bets in gambling.

don't understand what we are playing and betting on, everything will be in vain, the losses will continue to haunt us.

The best way to deal with your loses is just to reduce your staking strength, if you stake more to regain your loses, you will end up losing the more. Try to gamble for fun and don’t get addicted to it.  I had an ugly experience in gambling. I was trying to regain a lost and ended up losing everything.

Finding a good diversion to ease the frustrations will be a good help to re-assess yourself, some may find themselves drinking coffee
while analyzing what happened.

It is the opinion though and not all can just drink coffee and release those emotions, those who can are good in handling losses and they can
just easily to move forward and continue to whatever they are planning to do next.

The best way is to distract yourself into something like some hobby or physical activities which would really divert out your attention into and you would really be forgetting on what you had recently

experienced.Thing here is that you do really know on what you are doing and you do really know on how to handle up yourself because on the time that emotion would kick in then it

would really be hard to stop it if you dont really have that sufficient self control and discipline which would worsen up the situation or condition.

That is the best way to distract from thinking about gambling so that we will not be affected by the results we got in playing gambling before. But unfortunately, many of us find it difficult to do even though we have tried. But that's what we must do and keep trying so that we won't think about it too much if we lose. And so that we don't get emotional, we have to take care of ourselves and not use a lot of money to gamble so that losing won't hurt too much. Self-discipline is really needed in playing gambling so that we don't gamble excessively and prevent big losses.

I ensure I drink enough water to reduce risk of heat stress :
I won't want to be under any compulsion or stress after a loss, so I make sure I drink water to stay hydrated, and it helps manage my mood even if I lost.

Out of everything, this was actually the most unexpected but also something I relate with, but I think this is more on the exhaustion side instead of heat itself? I tend to do dumb shit since my mental capacity at those points is pretty much empty so yea, taking a breather and drinking water to cool off is a great way to reset the brain even for a bit.

Still, the best way imo is hobbies. Do something else, don't just take gambling in as your sole activity for enjoyment. It's so that you can split your time and money (yes, even if it needs money). Some hobbies can go a long way with the budget you'd use for a month of gambling (though it still depends on person to person).

In every game or bet there must be a profit and a loss.
I myself, if I experience a loss if it's only a small amount, I will re-learn how the game works and if I really understand and can determine the right position, I will bet again with a larger amount to be able to recover losses and still make a profit.
However, if I experience a large loss, I will be more silent and stop playing for a while with the aim of calming my mind and dampening my emotions. If it gets better, I will play again with a gradual number of bets.

We all have different strategy on how to handle losses and yours is one of them plus the internet is plenty of useful strategy on how to manage/control yourself from losses. And most of them are based on real life experience so, a little research on the internet is plenty enough to jot down those important details. It's very useful if someone is just starting to gamble or having a problem with how they should manage their emotions especially to newbies in gambling but I don't know if newbies would ever think to do some research first or just play ahead and do the research after losing.

From my personal experience, when I first gambled in a crypto casino, I never had the thought of doing research and using a playing or betting strategy first.
After some time playing, experiencing defeat, just started to think about a research and strategy in playing.
I can do some research and make playing strategies too from this forum by reading and studying what has been given by forum users in a gambling thread.
For novice gamblers who are also users of this forum, they have a distinct advantage because they can learn about gambling first before actually getting involved in gambling.

Any money that I put in gambling I have already counted it as a lost money. I don't have much expectation of win but if it happens I will be happy. If it does not happen I'll just forget about it.
How I handle my lost is that whenever I loss a bet, I'll reduce my betting power subsequently. I lose again I reduce amount until it gets to zero, I'll know I have lost out in everything

[Eternad]

This is the most bullshit reason or whatever shenanigans that I heard on gambling. Why the heck you are gambling if you didn’t expect to win and just counted your money as lost once you deposit? It’s better to send your money to donation so that it can help poor people rather than spend it on your nonsense gambling since you didn’t want to win. Seriously why you do need to play gambling if you have this kind of resolve.

Winning is what makes people drive to gamble more but in your case you are like zombie playing without any goal to achieve. Zzzzz
