Losses In Gambling That Still Haunts You Until This Day

[darewaller]

My bad gambling losing experience was when I was in high school (around 2010), at that time the zynga poker game on Facebook was very popular, I used my school money for 6 months (about $ 100) at that time to play poker, the result was that I lost everything and failed the exam at that time so my parents forced me to transfer me to another school

So, you can gamble using real money on that game? Awesome. All the time, I thought Facebook games are just free to play but that was also the time I learn how to use Facebook and eventually play popular Facebook games. Never been involved in gambling till I discover cryptos around 2017 and dice was my first game.

Luckily I never had a traumatizing loss. Just a bad experience like I am trying to hit the minimum withdraw threshold but then I lose all my balance. Gambling is not wrong but what is wrong is if it's already consuming your life. In your case, you can't focus in your studies. Transferring to another school is not a solution but limiting or quitting gambling is.

I thought zynga is just a game that doesn't require real money and only the online gambling is the only thing that is available in facebook in which some of the influencers are making an ads everyday and promoting it in their online streaming.  I guess there is more thing in facebook, but then it will teach us a lesson that we should know our limit and we should be careful to our curiosity.

We all suffer from gambling losses because this is how things are you win some lose a lot and we have to be responsible for all our actions while we are playing

I shouldn't want to remind myself of the bad experience I've had in gambling, it frustrates me, if I remind myself of defeat, the games I played, it sucks for me.

For sure you have reminded me again of the bad gambling that I have ever experienced.
Bad experiences that always haunt me in gambling.

• Date/year: it happens in 2021.
• Amount or Figure: $1000 as swallowed by the earth, without a trace.
• What Game: The two types of games I bet on.
1. Slots
2. Roulette

I always remember those two games forever, these two games have made me wary.

[maydna]

I don't have losses in gambling that still haunts me to this day because what I have lost in gambling will not return, so I have no regrets. Maybe it's the amount that I still remember, but usually, after a few days, it will disappear by itself.

• Date/year: Under 2015
• Amount or Drawing: $100
• What game: Slots

I was too scared to lose that big, but that $100 was an amount I could afford to lose gambling at the time.

Yes, you are right that Zynga games do not require real money. it's just that these chips can be traded illegally from players to players. or, from players to collectors who trade them. this game is more popular in asia and Türkiye, yes as i remember. because in the past online casino sites were rare, as for some online casinos, the games they adopted were poker games or live casino and sportbook. So, it's natural that in several Asian countries, this game is very popular and can be traded.
although actually, platforms do not allow the practice of buying and selling chips other than in their services. as far as I can remember, there were lots of new gamblers popping up who were initially unfamiliar with this type of Texas Holdem Poker game. some of my friends, experienced material losses due to their addiction. in fact, some others even sold some of their vehicles.

well, referring to the title of the OP thread, at least, every gambler has had their own experiences and stories regarding losses that they might regret. even if willing, OP can also share his experience related to OP's own thread.

I can remember most of my wins but not of my losses because it truly is haunting if I'll still got those in my mind. Well but if I try to remember them, they're not really much as I'm not a hardcore gambler. Unlike those that I'm seeing in here that they've got a lot to lose and they're okay with it since they're determined gamblers.

I remember zynga poker games. Yes, it will require you chips to play in and as it's a game and a gamble, people can literally buy chips from other players personally so lose there is still considerably an actual loss of money if you lose.

Date/year : This happened 2016
Amount or Figure : $200
What Game : Slot

Maybe this is not much for some of us but everytime I remember the money that I spent on slot I somehow have this guilt feeling since you can buy many things with such amount already. That's also the reason why I rarely play slot game when I gamble.

But now I learned not to dwell in my past losses and move on because it can't bring any good to me. Playing in moderation and acceptance are necessary in order to not have regrets when you gamble your money.

[Reatim]

cannot contribute more because never that I gamble that much or even 4 digits amount for a single day of gambling because Money is more valuable for me than to have fun in betting .
so haunting me? nope none that i manage to come out to .

But as far as I remember , when i try playing or betting in Horse racing ?

Horse Racing


that i lost the biggest amount I ever gamble in my entire life and that is more than 400 dollars(in which that time maybe multiplied by 3 now)

that day I promised to myself to never gamble hundred dollars in single day and yes,
I managed to do that till now.

[ralle14]

I was participating in a dice contest or promotion and I remember being so close to winning one of the upper-tier prizes but I suddenly got a stroke of bad luck losing two to four rolls. It was so bad because I was rolling at 98% win probability which is the max win probability you can go for on most dice sites and it's one of the better strategies to use for the contest i'm participating. With the kind of luck I had that day I can't forget how unlucky I was even though I had bigger losses than this.

Date/year: 2016
Amount or Figure: ~$50

But Do You Have losses In Gambling That Still Haunts You Until This Day like you could have bought a new car with that loss
I will not ask how you overcome or deal with it but the year and amount or a figure and on what game

Yes there are some losses that I think about from time to time, but I wouldn't say that they are haunting me. Over the years I accepted that there will be bigger losses in gambling, it's part of the game and we can't avoid it. All my losses have never been so big to a car from it which is probably why it's easier to live with them. My biggest ever gambling loss came during my first trip to Las Vegas, I managed to lose around 1200 USD in 1 or 2 hours playing roulette. That was already 5 years ago and I still think about it today. My main problem is not losing so much money, but rather how I lost it. The whole evening I had been drinking alcohol and was quite drunk when my friends decided to start gambling. After that night I said myself to never gamble when drunk again. Drinking 2-3 beers during a night is fine, just not getting wasted. If I had stayed sober that night I would have quit much earlier before my losses reached such a high level. Now I am more relaxed about it, as long as you are learning something out of your big losses it wasn't for nothing.

Loss is a loss and we have different towards such thing. In my case, I had a loss of $2.5k before in slots. It became a wake up call on my gambling career to limit things. I had the urge to take back my losses but fortunately my friends helped me to accept what happened and limit the amount I gamble in each day or week. Unfortunate but I am thankful of it 'coz the idea of not learning to accept defeat is what scares me the most; I could have lost a bigger amount. Knowing myself that time, I would be frustrated to get back in that day as well which will never be advisable in gambling given that results are never certain and losing is more likely to occur in every bet.

But Do You Have losses In Gambling That Still Haunts You Until This Day like you could have bought a new car with that loss

I don't have losses in gambling that still hunts me to this day, what I rather have are near win situations that I can still recall and I sometimes wish that I had won those amounts, that is cases where I should have won but ended up loosing. I do not gamble with money that is not mine and when I gamble, I am always cautious not to exceed a limit. I understand that this may not be the situation for others and I am not claiming to be better than them but that is my own situation.

For people who have such regrettable stories, It is in your best interest to examine and recall what made you put yourself in that situation, so you can try to avoid a reoccurrence in the future.

If they are active gamblers, of course, they often experience losses, but this is related to relative amounts and depends on each person. I have experienced losses in slot games of around $400-$500 twice in 2021, initially I had consecutive wins in several rounds, so in the end I increased my bet and ultimately lost all the profits and capital I had. That is the reason now considering playing slots and and usually if playing only a small amount no longer forces the will.

More interested in placing bets on football for now and even though I have also experienced defeat in betting, but somehow losing bets on football doesn't make me remember because maybe talking about a hobby and also not betting large amounts.

Yes, that's a powerful way to change habits, namely by being consistent, let alone changing the mindset so that we don't get carried away by emotions in gambling and are also provoked by curiosity so that we continue to play gambling and spend hundreds to thousands of dollars, playing must be responsible and wise in betting, that's why I also felt like you, but finally I was able to let go of the desire to gamble.

Promise yourself to stop following your passion in gambling because it will plunge yourself into the same hole, so just follow your heart so you don't become a bad habit and an addict, play wisely sometimes we need to think that gambling is just for fun it's better than serious play.

[iv4n]

I don't feel haunted by my losses. But I still remember some crazy red streaks on roulette (22 times without red, I didn't have balance for the next bet), crazy sports parlays where I got busted for one game or one goal, to not mention dices and limbo, and I guess slots are also a special category! But all that doesn't matter, I tested my luck with the money I had and I lost... unlucky day or night. Those who gamble for real know that we are in constant up & down mode, and we had many lucky and unlucky sessions in the past, but because we like to gamble we will try it again... and I am sure that we are aware of our chances!

I will try some slots later... last night I wasn't so lucky, so maybe tonight will be my night!

Yes, it comes back to ourselves, because it is ourselves who know exactly what is allowed and what is not allowed to do, and which limits become our walls so that we have the brakes not to go any further. I think the feeling of regret will be felt by everyone, and it's also different for each person to overcome it. There are those who make their regrets as a lesson so they don't do it again, or set certain limits like you did, and some even just regret it, in the sense that he continues to do something that makes him regret, and this is usually done by an addict.

Sounds like, it's easier said than done.

I know that most gamblers/bettors should remember these at all times but in reality, at least for me, that kind of mindset will always be with you during the early stage where you're still starting your session on any specific day but when you're already lucky enough and got huge funds in your hands, that same mindset will not be kicking into you because you are still in a good position, especially in a luck-based games.

You can feel in your words that you do not lose hope of winning. In my opinion this is the right approach, because a black streak is always followed by a white one and we will all be very lucky someday.

As for my past losses, by and large I have long since accepted that I lost a lot of money in gambling. One thing that makes me happy is that I gained experience, which I still use to this day. No one knows what happened to that money in another case, but I think it would have been gone as well.

We've got the same situation because I cannot really remember exactly what happened or when did that happened even if I wanted to recall the specifics on purpose so that I can post it here or share it in a different situation, it's just that all is just vague to me. But I know that when I had those big losses in the past, it really haunted me in the first few couple of nights, it's like my brain is having a re-do on the very same situation so that I can move on to it quickly.
