Stopping the curse of losing streak?

[Blitzboy]

I agree with that, maybe it's because they are too engrossed in the gambling they are doing so they are so carried away by gambling that they forget that gambling is not something that should be done excessively. If they can't control their emotions then they will have thoughts of trying hard by gambling to win. It's true what you said, gambling can be said to train our patience, if we are able to control ourselves well and control our emotions well then they will not chase after winnings or recover from losses that have already occurred.
Even though they take a break, that doesn't mean they will stop gambling. They will return to gambling again. In fact, in my opinion, they will gamble more aggressively because they are trying to pursue something that is uncertain.

And for sure the outcome of being aggressive most of the time lead you to lose more than you can afford, since instead of taking that break to free up some stress you find yourself trying to create strategy that you think may work once you start playing back, but all of the sudden when you are already in the game instead of executing it you'll find yourself doing that same mistake and continue to lose more money, if you can change that attitude then you'll keep ending your session with that same outcome.

That's something that is definitely happening friends, if we gamble aggressively or in other words with balanced emotions then most likely what will happen is a bigger loss, or more losses. it's true that instead of resting but thinking about how to turn things around or strategies to apply, but when you find the strategy and gamble again it will only return to experience the loss that is likely to happen. And if that happens then it is the same as chasing defeat or wanting to recover losses, but instead of recovering losses but instead making them experience losses again.
By them doing this, it is just a way of putting themselves into bigger problems. The thought of wanting to recover losses must be eliminated to prevent greater losses. By wanting to recover losses that will only happen is to lose more money, because the host will always win.

This idea of trying to win back gambling losses... Its a sure way to fail. The house is ahead, that's the simple truth. That is, the longer you play, the more likely it is that you will lose money. Thats how maths works.

Being able to tell when to walk away is a really smart move. I understand your desire to get back those lost points; its a normal human drive. But its just a trap to keep you going. The important thing is to look past how you're feeling right now and concentrate on the bigger picture. Choose the things that will set you up for long-term success over the things that will give you a short-term thrill that could cost you a lot.

I think most gamblers experience the same scenario as you, or I mean they get caught up in their curiosity when they lose at the beginning of their involvement, on the other hand I'm not accusing you but it seems like you came to gambling without a true understanding of what gambling is and maybe you came with the intention of multiplying so when you lose then the situation is a situation that is difficult for you to accept which in turn makes you experience curiosity. However if a gambler comes with a proper understanding of gambling then I think it is less likely for them to have curiosity in them or even act to chase their losses to reach the recovery stage that even the situation makes you desperate to take a loan, while a gambler who has a proper understanding will not do that because it means you increase the chance of losing for a larger amount, but fortunately the people closest to you tell you that putting curiosity in gambling will only lead you to a more likely disaster.

The reality that will happen with gambling is losing or winning, and I think that losing or winning has something in common, where the similarity is that both can make us curious which will ultimately make us addicted to gambling. By the time they get a win, what will occur to gamblers who gamble with the aim of winning is that they are curious about the gambling they are doing, it can still produce bigger wins, but because they are like that, the winnings that have been obtained will most likely be lost again because that will What happens more often in gambling is losing, not winning, many gamblers are not aware that the winnings they have obtained should be utilized as well as possible, but they still lose because of their curiosity.

That's right, if they have a good understanding of gambling then it is unlikely that they will have curiosity or curiosity, even if they lose they probably won't have the feeling of wanting to recover their losses because they already understand that if what they bet on is lost it is a normal thing in gambling, but if people don't or misunderstand gambling, maybe they will continue to gamble even though they have lost because their strong curiosity drives them to be able to get a win that can cover the losses that have occurred, but what is clear is that it will not happen according to what which are desired.

Win or loss is the two popularly known gambling terms that makes players unexpectedly curious for more wins that covers for their losses. Some stake high amount of money out of curiosity and don't enjoy their game on the long run. Because gambling requires focusing on the plan not changing them along the line. I've seen some gamblers who never thought about how their funds can be exhausted and played until everything got lost. Doing the right thing in gambling will fetch the player more respect for himself. The only self-disrespect most players place on themselves is their undisputed aim of always going for the losses. When money is lost, the best choice is looking out for the right method outside of gambling to generate fresh funds.

Instead of running back to the same venue or platform where the money was taken seeking to win it back. Don't think it's for bragging right, but a way of dealing with ourselves painfully in the game. As not all houses will provide the win, easily, the whole gambling process will be reinstated and the house winning more than the gambler. All this happens in every session, yet the players are clouded with their vision of winning big. Which is not actually the right thing, or maybe may not happen. Even if those wins are achieved the player, still, will wager them back to the house.

The defeats I experienced really made me even more curious about gambling, because there is a saying that the more often you lose, the closer you are to winning big. So I kept making deposits until I didn't realize that I had lost a lot of money and emptied my account. Even though I had experienced quite a big loss, this could not stop my curiosity about gambling. At first, so that I could continue playing, I intended to borrow money and make a deposit again, but fortunately there was someone who made me aware of this. This bad behavior is not to continue chasing losses. Until now, I have not returned to the gambling site and placed a bet. With encouragement from those closest to me, I temporarily stopped these activities indefinitely.

I think most gamblers experience the same scenario as you, or I mean they get caught up in their curiosity when they lose at the beginning of their involvement, on the other hand I'm not accusing you but it seems like you came to gambling without a true understanding of what gambling is and maybe you came with the intention of multiplying so when you lose then the situation is a situation that is difficult for you to accept which in turn makes you experience curiosity.

Your point concerning gambling ignorance is correct. People go in over their heads because of it. Deeper than that. Naturally curious, humans test limits. Unplanned casino visits are disastrous. In fact, curiosity is good. How you use it. Turning curiosity into smartness requires understanding games, odds, and strategy. It motivates people to improve and analyse their mistakes rather than waste money. That leads to ruin, you're right. Curiosity needn't mean that. It can be about measured risk, setting limitations, and enjoying the game without getting consumed by it.

Long-term winners while gambling? They channel their curiosity, not let it rule. Yes, listening to loved ones is good advice. But gambling is addictive. Taking something away leaves a hollow experience.

[Toro iskandar]

In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?

So far I have never experienced this, but if one day I experience a losing streak like you experienced, I will take action to just stop and recover my mind first because to be honest there is no way I will accept it easily, I will definitely feel disappointed even upset over the defeat. I have experienced consecutive hits and I think this incident will also be felt by some gamblers, namely when they lose in a row they will definitely be angry and very disappointed.

And if you indulge in gambling in the form of other gambling games, if that can make your heart and mind more comfortable and calm, I don't think that's a problem because it could be that with the existence of new gambling games, gamblers can play them. it's easier so you don't experience many losses. successively.
So basically we have to be smart in choosing the gambling games we will play so that we don't lose a lot of money there because we often experience a lot of losses. Choosing a gambling game must be in accordance with our respective abilities, namely safe and appropriate steps.

Of course because the key is to have the right knowledge and understanding of what gambling is, because if you understand that there are possible risks that can be very significant then I think it is less likely for you to make a decision that is too careless like returning to gambling based on curiosity, in the end it is still possible that losing will always be a sure thing, I'm not saying that you will always lose in the stage of realizing your curiosity by returning to running sessions but certainly and as some evidence that has happened that most people experience they even experience a greater amount of defeat just because they return to gambling based on curiosity.

As you said that it is better to analyze to realize the mistake or realize that applying curiosity in gambling is the wrong mindset, this is better than you waste money by returning to do some experiments. On the other hand, we must understand that curiosity will never end as long as you are still involved in the activity while gambling is always about risky activities which means that you will most likely only suffer more losses if you cannot ignore the curiosity in you, this is why a gambler must put a lot of restrictions.

You have been losing gambling for three weeks so why did you not take any break from your gambling during these three weeks. You should definitely take a break from gambling during these three weeks. If you had taken a break from gambling during these three weeks, you would have made your gambling decisions in a healthy mind that would not have resulted in you losing consistently. When a gambler is consistently losing at gambling, it is best for that gambler to take a break. When the gambler takes a break, he can easily mark the mistakes he is making in gambling and if he can mark his mistakes, he will try to correct them so that he does not have to lose constantly.

Responsible and not-so-addicted gamblers can have breaks when they are losing because they know it won't do any good if they continue gambling because they have been constantly losing and if they continue, they will probably lose more which doesn't make it even. However, an addicted gambler wouldn't be able to do that because they can't let go of the losses and their mind will be stuck at that point thinking they will only stop if they recover their losses.

We all know what happens when a gambler goes to recover their losses, right? So when they try to do that and don't succeed, they don't give up just there but they keep trying until they have lost everything and then have nothing left to gamble with which is when they might stop.

[fikrett]

Even if you set a dice game at 98% chance of win there's still 2 % that you will lose your bet, and that's not zero, my friends.

What happens is that the OP talks about bad streaks and if you have a 98% chance of winning a game a bad streak will not last long. Bad streaks are known as variance, a variation on the statistical mean and depending on the odds of winning you have in a given game there is a mathematical impossibility that they will last more than x plays. In the OP's case what I would do would be to step away from gambling for a while, not so much because of the streak but because he doesn't seem to enjoy it.

Understanding variance and how it plays into gambling statistics is crucial. It’s reassuring to recognize that while bad streaks can occur, the likelihood of them being prolonged when the win probability is so high is statistically minimal. This perspective can definitely help players maintain a healthier and more optimistic outlook on their gambling experiences.

[Mahanton]

You have been losing gambling for three weeks so why did you not take any break from your gambling during these three weeks. You should definitely take a break from gambling during these three weeks. If you had taken a break from gambling during these three weeks, you would have made your gambling decisions in a healthy mind that would not have resulted in you losing consistently. When a gambler is consistently losing at gambling, it is best for that gambler to take a break.

We all know what happens when a gambler goes to recover their losses, right? So when they try to do that and don't succeed, they don't give up just there but they keep trying until they have lost everything and then have nothing left to gamble with which is when they might stop.

Each person does really have that kind of control on which there are some who cant really be able to stop and there are ones who could really be easily be able to stop midway. This is where we do really be able to see those individuals who do really end up on a bad situation and to those who are able to save up themselves because they have made out the right ones. It is really just that there are really that making themselves naive
because they are really believing that they could really be winners here on gambling field without even trying out to realize on how that reality works and on how it to deal with it.

Stopping losing streak would really be literally on the time that you would really be completely stopping on the time that you do gamble. We dont really know on when we would really be making ourselves
that being lucky since it is really just that pure random when it comes on winning.

[hyudien]

That's something that is definitely happening friends, if we gamble aggressively or in other words with balanced emotions then most likely what will happen is a bigger loss, or more losses. it's true that instead of resting but thinking about how to turn things around or strategies to apply, but when you find the strategy and gamble again it will only return to experience the loss that is likely to happen.

Choose the things that will set you up for long-term success over the things that will give you a short-term thrill that could cost you a lot.

That's right, the more we want to win back losses in gambling that have already occurred, the stronger the urge to continue gambling and that doesn't mean we will win, because as you said, this is a way that will definitely end in defeat, not end in victory, basically gambling is a game that is arranged by people behind the scenes and it is those who have the role of host who will always win because they are also looking to profit from the many people who gamble. and with them insisting on getting a win that means they are giving the home side an advantage.
However, it will not be able to eliminate the reality of defeats which will occur more frequently and turning them into wins is impossible. with the desire to continue pursuing victory will only push ourselves to losses that cannot be avoided. It's true what you said, we have to be smart in gambling, such as being wise in making decisions when we win or lose.

I've been on a losing streak since the pandemic. Although I got that money from bonuses, it still makes me very upset. I stopped playing for months, almost a year, and came back yesterday just to try if I will make it this time. However, just like before, I didn't have a good time, and I think I will never have the luck I had when I started in crypto gambling in 2015 until before pandemic. Although I earned before and bought things I like because of gambling, now, looking back, how I wish I didn't get into crypto gambling. My life would have become way better now and became a millionaire in our country. Gambling curse continues.

Winning or losing are two things that definitely happen when we gamble, but what is clear is that what will happen more often is losing, not winning. In fact, there are people who cannot accept this fact, so they dare to take big risky actions, such as risking the money they have and betting large bets, because instead of getting a big win and covering up the losses that have already occurred, what will happen is still the same. , and continue like that until they are trapped in losses that cannot be avoided, because whatever way they do it, they will not be able to change the terms of defeat which will occur more often.

The big possibility is that when gamblers win, it is possible that they will not bet again, in fact, when they win, the temptation to get a bigger win will become stronger. What you say is correct, not all houses will give us a win, even if we bet all our money it is not a guarantee that the house will give us a win, because what the house is looking for is profit from the number of people who gamble.

Do not think about your experience in that way, it is true that if you had not gambled that money away, in theory you may have had much more bitcoin now, but that is just the theory, the reality is that most likely you would have spend that bitcoin in some other activity which you would later regret anyway.

So as you can see, it is better to think about this as you not being ready to hold your bitcoin for the long term, but now it seems that you are ready, which means that if you give it enough time and you keep accumulating sats, at some point you will become a millionaire anyway.

We have a bad experience in the past but we have a chance to fix that bad experience so we will not repeats it again. We can't risks our bitcoin for playing gambling instead just hold our bitcoin for the long term and have a chance to make a profit in the future. But if we have lose streak in gambling again, we must introspect what happens to us and really needs to reduce our gambling activity.

We must hold our bitcoin and not use it for something that we don't needs because bitcoin is our investment and we wants to make a profit in the future. We must reduce our gambling activity and if we wants to still playing gambling, we can use the other coin or stable coins and not use bitcoin because we wants to accumulate more bitcoins. So that will not impact to our bitcoin because we save our bitcoin as our long term investment.

Hmm, yes, it seems like you are one of the gamblers who comes with the intention and purpose of making a profit, or what that means is that you place your hopes on the money you allocate for betting, where as you said, losing makes you feel very upset and usually this feeling is often present. Most gamblers come with the intention of winning which in the end, as we know, this is the mindset that will lead you to the addiction phase in the end.

But on the other hand, what makes me appreciate you is that you were able to restrain yourself and then stop from this activity for several months, and that is good because most of the other gamblers are just the opposite, where they act more aggressively in treating their gambling activities, I don't know the problem but what is certain is that they are unable to accept the fact that they have lost some money which in the end makes them return to gambling with the intention and aim of returning something that has been lost. On the other hand, I cannot conclude or guarantee that you will continue to lose, especially if you are involved in a type of gambling that relies purely on luck because it is possible that at certain times luck will come which will lead you to win a certain amount, another thing I suggest is don't Never put your hope in gambling on victory because after all, victory will always be a gray area where you can never know when it will come, and this is the reason why we have to gamble moderately and put lots of limits on several aspects.

Even if you set a dice game at 98% chance of win there's still 2 % that you will lose your bet, and that's not zero, my friends.

That also a good factor as stress will increase and will create aggressions inside you, if you push yourself forward the chance that you may suffer more and as human, you also have that instinct that if you increase your bet it will quickly recover your money, but most of the time it just increase your risk and you continue suffering from more losing streaks even how high your chance of winning, there's no certainty and accuracy with how the outcome will come forward especially if you are in a type of a game of luck gambling, odds even in a 99% will still have that losing streaks to happen.

[LUCKMCFLY]

That also a good factor as stress will increase and will create aggressions inside you, if you push yourself forward the chance that you may suffer more and as human, you also have that instinct that if you increase your bet it will quickly recover your money, but most of the time it just increase your risk and you continue suffering from more losing streaks even how high your chance of winning, there's no certainty and accuracy with how the outcome will come forward especially if you are in a type of a game of luck gambling, odds even in a 99% will still have that losing streaks to happen.

Well, stress is something that cannot be avoided sometimes and that can cause things to go very wrong, sometimes just because of that stress factor a person can have endless losing streaks and will be bad for a long time, and What's more, it will. He will be filled with rage, he will start to play harder because out of rage he can bet a lot more money and he will continue to lose, I wouldn't call it a losing curse, this is something very normal in games of chance, we have to see things from a different point of view. Correct, when we enter a situation we have the greatest option of playing and losing, or playing and winning, that is what we have to be clear about, if we lose then we have to maturely accept the design of the game, as well as when we win.

In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?

I have the same way of approaching lose streak, if you read the thread I made where I have a lose streak from February to March, I took a break to at least have a fresh start once I decided to gamble. Then when I gamble, I've won. I manage to multiply my deposited money by playing blackjack at that time. Though, I didn't try to play other games, I just took a break and it works. It's also a great strategy to cool my head as having a losing streak really is stressful.

It's also a great strategy to cool my head as having a losing streak really is stressful.

Losing streak is quite stressful to deal with due to the struggle as pointed out above by other members. Gamblers, increasingly, have a difficult time dealing with losing streak. Some don't think of getting a break, as all they desire is making the lost money return back to the bank roll. Such thoughts pins a player to the game till he's so stressed out that he wouldn't think of making the right decisions like taking a break. The durations and timing of the game is quite very crucial because as a player that made it out of a losing streak and jumps back after a few minutes break, the brain may not have been balanced to focus on the fresh game.

Switching games on the other hands also can be followed with same method of extending the break. As a slot player going a day off is cool at my end. It enables me to think of other methods of approaching such an annoying experience of a losing streak. I prefer escaping a losing streak than finding myself in it and struggling for my way out. Gamblers who always experience a losing streak are not seriously taking their breaks into place. And a good number of them get addicted. The struggle to stop can be too tough till the player loses all his self control in the pursuit of money.

[ZippyPixL]

I’ve been on losing streak for almost 3 weeks of gambling, not daily but in random basis for over 3 weeks. Mostly I play only live blackjack using small bankroll around 50$ to 100$  . No matter what I do, slow play or whatever betting strategy makes me lose since dealer card is always so good around 90% of my game.

What I did is I stop gambling for a week and decided to try different game so that my mind will be fresh and positive. I play slot games and manage to win huge amount that is enough to recover my 3 weeks losses and gain a decent profit. I’m just using small bet on slot games when I hit the huge jackpot.

In conclusion, if you are already having a rough time on playing same game over and over despite you have a good experience on it before. Trying new games to you and taking break will help you to snap out of your losing streak because chasing losses usually make us trap on our losses.


In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?

Everything is exactly as you described and I follow the same advice. Usually, when I experience such streaks it indicates that I am tired and need to switch to something else. Or it simply may not be my day which is also a possibility. In that case it's better to stop for a while.

Understanding variance and how it plays into gambling statistics is crucial. It’s reassuring to recognize that while bad streaks can occur, the likelihood of them being prolonged when the win probability is so high is statistically minimal. This perspective can definitely help players maintain a healthier and more optimistic outlook on their gambling experiences.

but the decision making  is what important here , because even how the statistics says and the outcome yet it is the players decision to how long the chasing will turn into.
the more you know how to deal with gambling is the more you will gain from  it , try not to become addicted and of course never become greedy .
