If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do?

[lienfaye]

what should we do if we have lost a lot of money on gambling? Do we keep gambling to win so we can cover up previous losses? or stop and work normally and leave gambling? Or do you have other suggestions?

Having losses and continuously playing for the reason you want to recover your money are certainly not right and we all know that. However many gamblers can't refrain themselves, that's a fact. Well, some of us are still playing despite of losses but still able to play in moderation. Why? Because our main desire is to have fun.

But this is not the case if your intention (that's why you're playing) is to double your money. Just quit, that's the right thing to do for gamblers who are looking for profit. Find a decent job and forget about gambling because instead of gaining you'll only lose your money if you have no discipline.

The desire for recovery is normal and I know it shouldn't be what drives us to keep playing, but frankly speaking isn't it what the poker gurus who play high stakes also do? I remember when I watched some sessions on Pokerstars between those high rollers in cash game, sometimes one guy was down a million and also didn't stop playing. Of course it was about making it back sometimes. I think nobody is free of this thought process that when they lost money, the goal is to make it back. The problem with it is that decisions become less rational often times and the hope for luck dominates.

Gambling is a place to spend money, although many gamblers consider casinos to be a place to earn money. But in reality, more gamblers lose their money at casinos or gambling sites. So I think all of us here probably have almost the same experience, namely losing a lot of money gambling

I also lost money because I lost on gambling, but maybe not that much. But I know there are people who spend a lot of money for gambling. In your opinion, what should we do if we have lost a lot of money on gambling? Do we keep gambling to win so we can cover up previous losses? or stop and work normally and leave gambling? Or do you have other suggestions?

If someone is able to leave gambling completely then this marvelous news for him as I agree most of us have similar experiences here all of them resorting to losing money,sometimes big money.If not it would be wise to set a small budget aside for every week or for the whole month and stick religiously to it no matter what happens.Of course sometimes the rage of the game will get us but if we set the budget most of the time we will be fine,this is at least my personal experience as I found out I could not leave gambling completely now I can control most of the money I throw into it.There is no middle way around here.

It seems that what you said corresponds to reality. Giving up gambling is very difficult, unless we are bankrupt and have no more money to deposit. I stopped gambling for about 3 or 4 months (didn't gamble at all) but after getting extra income from this forum, I started gambling again. The difference is, now I limit myself and limit the money I can use to gamble

Actually there is nothing wrong with gambling, as long as gambling does not make us lose a lot of money and have a lot of debt. One way I control my money for gambling is by withdrawing money from my bank account and leaving a small amount of money in the account. So when I want to gamble I need to deposit money into an ATM, and often I am too lazy to do that, so I cancel my gambling desires.

[piebeyb]

It depends on how you view gambling, if you gamble for money then it will be difficult for you to stop, believe me you will continue to feel anxious about losing that money then in any way you will make another deposit to continue playing so you can return the money you lost previously, that's applies to those who gamble to earn money not entertainment.

Everyone has their own goals and I am one of those people who consider gambling to be just entertainment, so I never chase the losses I experience because I will consider it to pay for the entertainment I get in the game there, even if I win I will consider it a bonus. , enjoy the game calmly every weekend, but to achieve such a process is not easy I need time to control everything. besides, if you lose, it's best to go to bed or go hang out with your family, don't gamble anymore because it will never end well.

Quitting gambling is very difficult. But if we realize that while gambling, we don't get many wins and only lose, it seems like we really have to stop gambling or reduce our gambling activities. Gambling is not wrong, but you have to have clear boundaries so you don't gamble too much. Many people lose self-control while gambling, so they lose a lot of money and end up completely bankrupt.

What you did was good. You can control yourself while gambling and regulate how much to gamble. Not many can do it because people tend to deposit some more money when they lose. They still want to gamble and recover previous losses and want to win.

if you really have this mind set you will never regret the losses.

You can't get back the big money you lost just by gambling because it has a greater chance of losing and getting you into debt. So it's not really a good idea to continue gambling just to get back the losses.

When we talk about difficulties, this is not the end of everything and what we need to do is fight harder and more extra. Fight against all the impossibilities that exist if other people say that you will not be able to get through all this to be able to have full control over yourself in gambling, then don't pay attention to what other people say to you and just do your best, stay focused on the main goal you are gaining control over yourself.

That's a good idea, I didn't think that "consider it to pay for the entertainment"

If we only regret the things we have done, there is no point at all and will only waste our time and disturb our minds. Instead of regretting it, we should focus on improving ourselves so we can be wiser in doing things, including gambling.

We need to be just firm with whatever decision we had about our gambling activity.  May it be to quit entirely, to pause for a while or to continues should be decided and be firm about the decision.  Although it maybe difficult to stop especially when it is already a part of out daily routine, nothing is too hard if we are frim enough to do it.

It is indeed a good way of thinking about the money we lost in gambling to enable us to forget and move on from our losses.

This is one of the best suggestions, pursuing your losses also known as playing to recover will only make you loose even more because you may end up gambling recklessly and very irresponsibly because you think by that way you will quickly recover from your losses, but sadly you may never recover those losses it's in your best interest not to chase losses.

Whenever ever you are loosing so much to the casino the best thing you should do is take a break. It's very important to know that gambling is an expensive entertainment, as such it's not ment for all, even if they allow for very minimal stake so all may have a feel of the entertainment it still doesn't make it suit for it's for those who have some level of sustainability and have got a job on the side.

It's a kind of entertainment that can fetch you some extra funds but that's not guarantee all the time. Those who don't have a means of sustainability are mostly adviced  to stay away from gambling as it's not a job opportunity, go get a decent job and when you stand fit for that level of entertainment then you can come get yourself entertained and not seeing it as a means of earning a living.

Doing this is just madness, because you will end up losing everything. In fact, gambling with emotion is the worst thing a gambler can do. Definitely, in gambling, gamblers lose more than they win, and whoever is gambling should decide how much they are willing to gamble off, and if they are done, they have no choice but to stop and return to their home. Gambling is for fun and also to enjoy the wins that come with it, but gambling should not just be considered the best and most favorable means of making income because it's not. There was an old thread here on this board where the OP talked about having a budgeted amount or timestable for gambling, and I think it's wise to have those two tools. Before they start gambling, let them know how much they are willing to gamble off that will not affect them, and they also have a time they have to start and stop.

If you consistently lose a lot from gambling without giving you some profits at some point, maybe that could be a sign to leave gambling for good. Gambling is not designed for us to lose a lot, but for us to get entertained and enjoy the games. However, if you only lose that certain day because luck does not favor you, just call it a day and leave the casino. There’s no point in staying and continue gambling if luck is not on your side. Just try to gamble again when the vibes is good and you think you’ll make your day profitable through gambling.

Gambling is actually like a money-eating machine so we shouldn't expect to just earn a profit, right after we step inside the casino. But it's not only about losing money, but it's about having fun as you said. If we are playing like this, we don't mind those losses we get but we just treat them as another normal day.

There are people who are lucky because on their second try, they can now win. They now recover what they previously lost and they also have extra profit. This is why many are not giving up on their first or second defeat. This is risky though because we don't know what result we will get. We might get unlucky again and our losses will only stacked.

Indeed, things like this are very strange for some people, but I think everyone has their own reasons for spending money on gambling.

There are various reasons that justify gambling without any restrictions.

I think if we have not experienced an addiction to gambling then it will be easy to stop gambling, but if we have experienced an addiction it will be very difficult to stop and reduce the level of gambling maybe only some people can do this and if you can reduce your level of gambling of course you are very good at controlling yourself in gambling and you will not experience a lot of losses when gambling. Of course you really understand when is the right time to do it and when to stop gambling.

Before gambling, gamblers already know that they will face addiction and the negative effects they are most afraid of will occur.
Gamblers who are addicted continue to try to find alternatives to get out of the situation. Isn't that strange?
I am not proud of the level of gambling that every gambler has. The money spent is his and the winnings are also his. Each is responsible for their gambling. The important thing is not to complain.

You can't get back the big money you lost just by gambling because it has a greater chance of losing and getting you into debt. So it's not really a good idea to continue gambling just to get back the losses.

Yes, because my gambling budget is in line with my budget when I go fishing with my family or on weekend vacations with my family, for example I go with my family and spend money, for example $70 to $100, so to get entertainment with my family, spending that money won't be a problem, it's the same. If I spend my gambling budget below that, around $50, just gambling on the weekends, I don't think it's a problem when I lose because I get entertainment from the games I play in casinos or other gambling bets, I never regret it.

In fact, this is just a matter of mindset. In fact, if we can consider gambling as just entertainment then our minds will not be burdened and under pressure when we lose, forcing us to continue gambling to return the money we have lost, which will clearly be useless and we will not be able to get it. Again, therefore, always limit your budget when you want to gamble so that you don't exceed the limit and can control it properly.

We are fighting against all the impossibilities that other people say is a process to prove that we are truly capable of doing it so that later we will experience it by being able to fully control ourselves. As a result, we will enjoy it and not other people, so we can silence the words of people who say we can't do it. They won't believe we can finally do it so they will salute us. We have to stay focused on living it and not give up before we achieve the main goal we want to achieve. And if we can master it well, we won't have any more problems with the previous one because we can handle it well.

If you find yourself in a situation where you've lost money while gambling, it's important to remember a few things.

Try to stay calm and avoid chasing your losses by continuing to gamble. Take some time to reflect on the experience and understand that gambling is ultimately a game of chance. It's a good idea to set limits on your gambling activities in the future to avoid such situations.

You can seek support from friends, family or even a professional who can provide guidance and assistance during this time.

Practise responsible gambling, don’t play with more than you can afford to lose.

[Jawhead999]

Then you need to work because the only way to make money is working, not through gambling. Gambling is one of entertainment, a reason why someone lose their money, so if you keep losing your money when you don't have a good financial, how it's possible you can live without money?

In this situation, isn't better if he completely stop from gambling? No more practice of responsible gambling, moderate gambling, or what. The advice from his family/relatives/friends will be wasted if after all the difficulty, he will still go back to gambling, there's a higher chance of repeating the same thing again. Gambling may not be for him and there are other activities that he can do better.

For me, if a gambler face a difficulty and receive a words of wisdom from family, the way they comfort you, it's enough reason for someone to realize that you're not the only one who suffer if you are on that state. Better if you make yourself better and avoid it completely not only for yourself, but also to your family.

Rest for a while and evaluate whether your loses is already significant because that means you should stop already when are already losing enough without winning since probably there’s something wrong on how you play in gambling.

Most of the time gambling probability of winning is a little bit lower for players. So players need to think if he losing frequently whether it’s due to bas luck alone or due too poor bankroll management skills. Gambling is not for everyone and if it’s already hurting you lot, I don’t see any problem on quitting permanently before it can inflict more damage in the future.

I am not proud of the level of gambling that every gambler has. The money spent is his and the winnings are also his. Each is responsible for their gambling. The important thing is not to complain.

that's right, because the decision to keep playing even after a big loss is a decision taken by the gambler himself, not encouragement from others. Therefore, as long as they use their own money and do not involve or harm other people, gamblers have their own choices.
The biggest effect of gambling is financial problems, and when gamblers experience these problems and still decide to play. So don't ever complain about uncontrolled finances. because that is what he chose.
