To what extent have you hated yourself due to your gambling losses?

[DaNNy001]

Knowing your limit in gambling is everything and I can bet that 90% of all gamblers fail to access this control. It's very hard to stop gambling when losing because your brain and thought will all be focus on trying to get back that win and their is this stupid thought that always come with it too which is the thought of gambling all instead of stoping at the moment of high losing spree.
.
As a gambler I have had my bad days but am just greatful that I didn't let it destroy me because I realized where the urge was taking me to and had quickly stop and revised my pattern if not my days would have been filled with lots of regrets.

In your entire gambling journey, have you ever had a series of losses to the extent you hated yourself so much for being so unlucky?

If I experience series of losses in gambling I would not hate myself for being unlucky but rather hate myself for being unable to control myself by continuing to gamble even when I've lost a lot already, for not knowing that after loosing a lot consecutively, I should have taken a break. Gamblers are always loosing, but different people handle their losses differently. As a gambler who is already hating themselves for being unlucky, you make yourselve one step closer to getting depressed which is dangerous for health.

Just in today's lottery as we do have a lottery game in our country to guess 3 numbers. If you are correct you will win and I will say that you will win a decent amount of money. Today I haven't been able to bet because of my laziness due to the weather, and guess what that number that I've been betting on since January was the result. So I was mad earlier today, which caused me to do house chores rather than sleep. But this is really gambling as it is not my lucky day so we should also learn to accept our losses.

Gambling is a game that has its most part luck dependent and so when gambling you just have to make sure you are risking that which you can afford to loose just should Incase you are not Lucky enough on that day but then just make sure you are not going irresponsible and you are taking calculated risk.

Some gamblers do say that as you gamble daily it brings you close to your winnings days and maybe this was a typical case such that on the supposed winning day you didn't gamble you shouldn't feel too bad yet you may still have another Lucky day ahead just make sure to still stay responsible gambling and not letting this make you anxious and start gambling aggressively because that will only be irresponsible on your side and lead you to possible gambling addiction.

If there's a gambler who ends up thinking like that, better find another hobby as gambling is not for them.

To the point that a gambler hates themselves because of being unlucky in gambling, their minds are not properly working anymore.

I have experienced several big losses in my entire gambling journey but have not ended up thinking like that.

I think everyone must have felt unlucky when they were gambling and sometimes they can also feel lucky once in a while, we have to understand that most gambling has a risk of losing and it is not uncommon to see someone who is unlucky in their gambling and continues to experience defeat, causing them to become addicted. , there are several factors why people can become addicted, first because they chase their losses and try continuously so that one day they can win big, second because they have experienced victory once, so they continue to gamble hoping to get lucky again.

Gambling is a game of chance, therefore we should not expect too much from gambling, think of it as having fun then you won't be disappointed even if you have gambled many times, but if you expect too much profit and you can't get it then it will be very disappointing. For yourself, I never hated myself just because I was unlucky in gambling because I used it to have fun.

You and other people must be having a hard time because losing games. Remember that you can't control what will happen when you play games, so be careful and responsible. Losing runs can be hard on your feelings when you're uptight. Seek help from family, friends, or a professional. Staying healthy and happy is more important than getting rich at the casino. Others care about you and want to help you. Help is available if you or someone you know is having trouble with gambling

[ethereumhunter]

When you say serious losses, that means a large amount, right? Even though I have never experienced a large amount of loss, I don't want to experience it, and I will never experience it because I have limits that I set when I play gambling.

And these limits are only a small amount of money, so even if I lose, it's not a big deal. Even if I lose, it's fine because I don't really take it seriously; instead, it's just for fun.

Yes, it is a big loss if we cannot have clear boundaries when playing gambling. We gamble only to get entertainment and not to chase victory. And we also can't take gambling too seriously because the more serious we are, the more likely we will be eager to win. And when that occurs, we will probably forget our limits and start to experience losses that get bigger and bigger over time.

It's good if you have clear limits when playing gambling using small amounts of money. This can prevent your losses from becoming large because before you lose a lot, you can leave the casino and not return. Gambling is just for fun and it should be that way.

[Julien_Olynpic]

I have never had major losses in gambling simply because I am generally not a gambling person and losing does not force me to win back. The game is interesting to me only from the point of view of game systems, strategies and chances. I like to collect interesting observations on the internal logic of gambling and their internal patterns, which are very often implicit.
      I don't even know what would motivate me to bet big money without a significant chance of winning. In addition, people who lose large sums usually have poor risk management and money management. It's always very bad and always ends in some kind of drama. Unfortunately it is so. Limit your losses first.

Hating yourself after making a gambling stake or hating yourself after a gambling attempt is not supposed to be so. A lot of people regret or hate themselves after making a stake especially when the lose the bet or some other persons may also get angry when the place a bet and won despite the odds and wish they had staked more.
The reason most of these persons end up hating themselves is because they had probably staked more than they can afford to lose and actually still lost the bet. If a gambler continues to stake in that manner they end up being an addict. Gambling is supposed to be a fun act unfortunately it isn't for most people.

Gambling itself is not harmful; how you handle it is. Self-hatred? That's a sign you're missing the point. It has nothing to do with regretting overspending or wondering how much you could have earned. It's about being aware of the odds, being aware of the game, and, most importantly, being aware of yourself

One such approach is to view gambling as a means of self-control testing. Define your boundaries, be aware of them, and honor them. Whether you win or lose shouldn't matter to you as a person. It's a game, and fun is the goal of games. If you get this right, you'll discover the ideal ratio between excitement and accountability. People, it's all about perspective. Modify yours, and your experience may well be modified as well. It is your responsibility to ensure that gambling remains enjoyable

[Jody.Drummer]

I blame myself in a way that tells me to be aware of how much money I'm losing when I'm on a losing streak, I don't necessarily hate myself but shouting curses and telling myself harsh words is one way to go when it comes to making sure that I don't bottle up the anger that I'm feeling when I'm gambling and so it doesn't burst out when I'm not gambling anymore and it saves the people that I'm interacting with that I'm not cranky after gambling. So far I'm doing just fine with that kind of set up in my gambling life, I'm all out of anger after gambling and no one is annoyed with me after gambling so it's win-win for me.

Hmm I'm curious, what is it that makes you blame yourself for the losses that you have experienced and why do you start the same thing? If that's true then maybe I would say that you are not a responsible gambler in the sense that you can't accept any results at the end of the session, but if it only happened once, meaning you didn't make it a habit and only at certain moments then maybe I would say that it's quite normal because everyone can never always avoid making mistakes that make them disappointed or lose, but if you keep repeating the same thing and with the same reaction at the end of the session especially when losing then maybe as I said above you are not able to accept the fact that you lost and that means there is no responsibility in your gambling approach, logically if you are always angry with yourself for losing then why not find a solution? For example, reduce the budget so that at the end of the session you don't feel too disappointed with yourself or another way may be to quit.

He is probably repeating same thing, whenever he notices he's lost lots of money while gambling. That doesn't make him irresponsible. I actually chuckled reading his response, in the sense that it could be his way of cautioning himself for spending so much money gambling. Since he's not worried on the development, he's all fine with it and nobody is getting disturb for his action. Then his reactions shouldn't be a trouble either. Gamblers have different ways of dealing with losses. Some time when I lose the reactions from me doesn't match my normal action or behavior. He only needs to find something else to make him feel happy when in such a mood. So that it won't eat him up in the process. It's always a thing we should expect as gamblers. Not all gamblers, though.

Yes, I understand that every gambler has his own way of approaching his gambling, and from what you said it seems to  be true that that is the way he always does, namely by scolding himself when he loses, but I don't know what the purpose is because it will be a futile action if he basically always repeats it in the sense that there is no change that leads to prevention, especially if he always repeats with a large budget amount that he basically cannot account for. So the main point here that I suggest is that it is better to slowly reduce the amount of the budget, and for the problem of his way or reaction in accepting defeat it does not matter if it still wants to be applied every time he experiences a losing situation, and with this then obviously there is a change that occurs that he will not really feel the amount of large losses that will keep him in a good financial balance.

If they have reached the stage of hating themselves for losing, this should make them realize that they don't need to gamble too often and should immediately reduce their gambling activities. That could make them experience even more losses if they continue to use and spend more money. Indeed, some people can win, but if they calculate the total of their wins and losses, they will see that they still experience losses. Those who hate themselves because they have used a lot of money, but it turns out all the money was spent on gambling, and they haven't been able to win any money. They really have to introspect themselves if they hate themselves after gambling and losing a lot.

[Mr.suevie]

Well I believe what can only make me hate myself or have regrets will be when I have over gambled away all my bankroll which I have a very watchful mind on. If you don't want to ever feel regrets then planning and setting limits to gambling habits is the only way to it and  also  many people stories about how they merciless fucked up has proven to be a big teacher too and reading this always helps keep me in check and avoid doing those things that makes a gambler go crazy.

This is not always the case on most gambler. You are really lucky if you manage to limit your bankroll to your dedicated amount for a long time gambling since many gambling always failed to do that when they are on the actual effect of gambling that usually cause the addiction.

Not all people can fight their greediness when gambling and usually over extents their budget for the sake of chasing losses. I encounter chasing loses many times that makes me hate myself during the time when I still have a lot of funds from my bounty profit here in the forum. I learned my lesson a lot that time and become real responsible gambler right after I sum up all my total lose.

You are right, what happens to others by the mistakes they make is definitely how the wise people learn their lesson in order for them not to do what will cause them to go through the same ordeal.

From my personal experience, responsibly gambling requires a well conscious and focused mind, and slipping out of course in this regard can be very easy, this is to say that, there is a very tin line in between responsible gambling and irresponsible gambling, there have been times when I was playing slot game, I was losing but yet, could not bring myself to quit, why,? Because I was hoping for a win that will help me recover all the money I have lost in that session, or at least, some of it, and before I know what is happening, my entire bank roll was gone like the wind, this is exactly how some gamblers end up in regrets.

It does really shows that your emotionally unstable and not really that much that stable when it comes to thinking on which you do hate up yourself just because of your gambling losses.
On the moment that you are already hating up yourself because you do lose so much then it does means that you arent prepared on doing gambling. On this way it would really be that best that you should really stopping on doing such thing. So far i havent been able to reach up into the point that i do hate up myself because of too much gambling loses.
Gambling should really be that fun and not something that stressful, you should really be stopping as soon as possible if you are really that having these kind of disappointment
and stressful moments.

So, let's share our worst gambling experiences, have you ever hated yourself so much due to lack of winnings in gambling? To what extent, and how did it end?

Do you still hate yourself even now? 

Lets discuss.

Oh yes definitely!

This happened recently wherein I had to gamble $400 because I was rationalizing with myself that I am too deep now and I have committed so much money that everything would be a waste if I did not win a single round. Unfortunately, the night ended with me losing much more money and I was never able to recover the money that I have betted on.

The problem with gambling stems from that hope that you are chasing- such hope that you MIGHT win in order to recover your losses. But that hope is a dangerous landfall that can snowball quickly especially if you are afraid of accepting that you just lost a handful amount of money.

With that experience, it made me thing that I never want to experience battling the odds. If today is just not my day, maybe gambling is not really for me.

[Asuspawer09]

Let me start by asking a question that is not very much different from the topic..

In your entire gambling journey, have you ever had a series of losses to the extent you hated yourself so much for being so unlucky?

I was going through reddit in the early hours of today, and came across a user who lamented bitterly through his post, of how unlucky he has been in gambling in the past few weeks, like almost a month now, he said he bets minimum, twice every day, but have not won a dime for the past weeks, and this made him hate himself so much, I sincerely felt pity for him, for I remember one time I lost a huge sum of money to betting, I felt so bad that I thought of killing myself  .

So, let's share our worst gambling experiences, have you ever hated yourself so much due to lack of winnings in gambling? To what extent, and how did it end?

Do you still hate yourself even now? 

Lets discuss.

I mean most of the time this is probably what is going to happen since we are going to regret it in the end when we gamble so we surely hate ourselves when we lose and have a lot of regrets about gambling. For sure most of us as well are saying that you are very unlucky if you lose a bet right, and that is just it we are just unlucky to win and we are going to end ourselves that time.

Most of the time I have a lot of regrets about making a huge bet, but at this time it doesnt happen very often since I already know before even I start to gamble or create a bet, I already set up my mind that my bet is going to lose for sure and I'm gambling only just for entertainment and for fun not really because I wanted to win When I'm doing it most of the time, I could easily avoid being frustrated on my game and getting a good game if I win the be.

Probably one of the worst experience is just losing hundreds of dollars in gambling, I mean it seems to be working first on my experience and few rolls/bets, then all of a sudden just completely lose my it and my momentum is just gone a consecutive lose streak losing a hundred of dollars, which is a huge amount for me that time since i was just a student that time.

[Juse14]

Of course, no one wants to lose when engaging in gambling activities; this is the outcome we are actively trying to avoid. However, the nature of gambling dictates that losing is an unavoidable event, while winning is only a possibility. Despite our best efforts to achieve victory, the harsh reality is that no single strategy can ensure a consistent winning streak in every gambling endeavor. Perhaps, it even makes sense that achieving victory in our gambling or betting endeavors requires some losses to be endured first. Sometimes, experiencing loss may make us feel a little discouraged. When we are in a state of stress, there are people who choose to take a break while others choose to continue their gambling activities. However, it would be better if we choose to take a break from these efforts to restore peace of mind and emotions. Because if we continue to carry out gambling activities, this will only foster impulsive tendencies which have the potential to worsen the losses we experience.

not just ever, in my opinion if they often gamble then they must often get unlucky because that is definitely experienced by gamblers it's true that you say gambling completely has risks which in my opinion cannot be avoided let alone eliminated because the risk of losing at gambling is certain. also it is one of the things that is a certainty in gambling,  because if you don't win,  you lose, but I make sure that many of the gamblers experience defeat so that they can get addicted to gambling.

I think a lot of them are addicted to it because of the points you got right, first with them chasing losses or wanting to recover their losses, and secondly with the wins they get it makes them confident to be able to get another win at gambling, and even though they gamble more losses but they don't mind that because they can still be covered by their beliefs that they have in gambling. It should be so, with the defeat obtained,  we don't have to hate ourselves because losing at gambling is a certain thing,  so don't expect much from gambling either because most likely if it is like that it will only produce disappointment like you said.
