How were you able to handle a losing streak up to 5 times and above?

It's a fatal mistake if you lose five times in a row, this is really messy, 5/2 might still make sense if 5/0 if that happens it could frustrate me.
Yesterday I also placed an international friendly football bet between Portugal vs. Croatia I put the score 2 for Croatia at the end of the match ended 1-2 I succeeded for Croatia points, so did France vs. Canada I didn't put a score on both, I chose 0-0 I dealt with the loss based on the Netherlands vs. Canada match. Canada, for me the Netherlands are strong teams and if they meet France vs. Canada, I speculate that both teams are evenly matched.

During the match Switzerland vs. Austria I lost, because I put Austria score points 2, the end of the match 1-1, but it doesn't matter for me because I have a win of two matches meaning 3/1 two for me one for them.

My experience, in international friendly football matches to cover a loss, check their history during the match of both teams for example: Sweden vs. Serbia look at the final results of the two teams, before the bet is placed, you can judge during their tournament which one has the points and the chance of winning when both of them compete.

There are bad times and good times with gambling; you bear the bad times and enjoy the good times because you cannot be a perfect bettor. Accept the reality in gambling that you cannot always be a winner.

I usually stop betting for one or two weeks if I experience big losses. This is to ease up your pocket and stop the depression brought about by excessive and continuous losses.

It has a positive effect on my pocket and mind, and I also recommend it to those who experience losing streaks.

As a gambler, we make loss sometimes due to our luck or making wrong decisions. I don't think I have had such huge loss encounter before as I usually focus more on less than more bets so I can reduce my total loss while gambling. Well it's a normal thing that cannot be avoided for a gambler as not everytime you will see a green day. Some times might be red and during this period a responsible gambler would exist his gambling activities and come back another day. I do same when I make loss and avoid anything that would want to tempt me into returning to the game once more. I guess that's how I am able to handle my losses and reduce it during my gambling activities.

5x losing streak in sports betting is common for us because we are chasing victory with the favorite team but the results are not as expected this is normal but I feel where the same as your position feels upset because all the betting money is exhausted because the bet does not make any money.

I don't really focus on friendly matches the results will not be the same as what you said above, friendly matches have no value whatsoever that they pursue unless the competition is about to start like EURO then the game will be different again...

So it's better to wait for the competition matches, you should never expect friendly matches to be easy for us it's a little more difficult to analyze because some players don't seem to be serious.

In general, when I have bad luck, I don't feel like playing. There are times when betting less, leaving more time between sessions and doing it in a more relaxed way, things look better. If you lose again you think, 'fuck it, I won't play again'. But in the end, at some point you bet again and the tables turn.

The OP talks about sports betting but my experience is more in casinos.

[moneystery]

each gambler may be different when faced with a losing streak, some act normally and think that it is common in gambling, some are stressed because they feel that it is unfair to them, and some even respond by gambling again with a bigger bet than the one they previously bet. so maybe people will respond differently to their losses, and i feel that you are one of the responsible gamblers because you respond to this wisely and stick to the plan that you have determined at the beginning. and responsible gamblers should be like that because they already understand the risks of gambling and are ready to accept whatever the results of their gambling.

Have you had this experience before, and how were you able to manage/handle it?

[/pre]

I had a very unpleasant experience in slots, which left me with a negative experience.
Once I won 100 bonus dollars, and I could withdraw them from the casino, but I decided to play slots that I had never played. I'm sorry that I didn't remember what these slots were called, but there was something very similar to Skyrim: Vikings and dragons. I decided to make a game with huge stakes and put up $10 per spin.
And imagine that after 10 spins I didn't get anything! I have never won at least 1 dollar. It was extremely frustrating...

Never experienced a losing streak of up to that amount both in betting on World Cup qualifying matches and friendly matches because I rarely or almost never bet on multi bets.

We cannot deny that people often lose when betting on national team matches, especially on friendly matches.
Most of all I refrain from betting on qualifying rounds or friendlies played by national teams because it is difficult to guess considering the players in the squad of each national team are very different from the squad of the teams played in the league.

Maybe to overcome this, restrain yourself before official tournaments such as Euro, Copa America start.
If you can't help yourself, don't force yourself to bet on a multi bet.

How were you able to handle a losing streak up to 5 times and above? By doing stop although some people are gonna found this is very difficult because of emotion or addiction if you still have it. But the way I stopped after the losing streak was when I ran out of budget. Believe me bro I do chase losses couple times and I do gamble until my body shaking because losing streak and cant stop at the end I just do gamble till my balance is run dry take a deep breath and let it go

Having constant losses is not new in gambling. This is why it is important to always have a gambling budget based on our financial standing. This will help gamblers to control these losses and it will not affect them financially. For me, I have a gambling budget which guides and helps me to control my losses. There were times when I didn't have a single win for over two to three weeks but it has not affected me negatively. Gambling should be seen as fun this is why losses shouldn't be an impediment to enjoying gambling. Gambling is unpredictable so having the mentality that you will always win is wrong. Therefore there is a need to prepare for rainy days because it will surely come.

For the majority of people in the gambling world, it's not always easy to handle a loss, let alone encountering a losing streak up to 5 times and above, This scenario happened recently, during last week, I chose some games that ran from last week down to this week and all my games was in the red, as the league competitions and the European football season of 2023/2024 has just ended and the games we have now on going happens to be the world cup qualifiers games and the international friendlies; However, I'm more of focused on football betting, so the teams I picked to win were,

Egypt to win,
France to win Canada,
Switzerland to win Austria,
Portugal to win Croatia and
Sweden to win Serbia in their respective games,

And reason to select these teams was that I was actually targeting odds that came up a bit, Well, to my latest surprise none of these games were in the money and I can't really recall the last time I had such a losing streak, and the annoying part was that I didn't place this game on same slip, it was a single game all through and secondly some had different match date.

Now, assuming if I happened to be someone who doesn't manage risk or go way above my budget, this would have wrecked my betting balance.

Lesson so far, the need to manage risk is highly recommendable, stick to plans and never go above your plan, all this while my profits have been much higher than my loses, but a single week took the majority of those profits, Therefore, even though you are these profitable person in gambling just as I have been all this while, there may be a rainy day for you and what would protect you are these strategies in place.

Yes, I had a similar experience. I lost some matches that I was confident in. I can’t say that you can be sure of anything in gambling, but there are games in which the probability of winning is much greater, the coefficient there is not large, but because of the high probability, I sometimes bet on such events. So, several of my bets did not go through and I decided to take a break. I think that when the result does not live up to your expectations, you need to take a break so that under the influence of emotions you do not make mistakes and start winning back your losses, which will most likely lead to even greater losses

[348Judah]

Egypt to win,
France to win Canada,
Switzerland to win Austria,
Portugal to win Croatia and
Sweden to win Serbia in their respective games,

You can't predict games, don't be surprised that some of the top countries with high performance and are still actively in form could be kicked out by a small one, the worst of it now is that such country too will later be knock out of the game, when it comes to games and predictions, anything can happen, even though we have the most assurance of a team against the other, there will be a time they may just have to proof us wrong and disappoint by missing on a slight opportunity.

Stop playing for a while or reduce the bet amount so that you dont focus on chasing the previous losses, thats what I usually do after a losing streak on sports.
Anyway, always betting on favorites in the international friendly matches is not wise, the favorites will not always win even when playing against a weak teams. Moreover, the Euro are only a few days away and every player will not play seriously to avoid injury

[Alpha Marine]

I think losing 5 consecutive bets is pretty common in sports betting. What makes your case different is that it was 5 single games on various days, that rare. It's rare because it's difficult not to get at least 1 out of 5 predictions correct when the option is just between who wins and who loses.

If I should go to my sports betting history, before every win there are at least 4-6 losses, sometimes there are more, except periods when I'm on my lucky charm and I get 3 straight wins, but since a single win covers all the losses, I don't feel it that much.
Gambling is a risky venture and it would always be wise to gamble within our means and gamble with what we can afford to lose.

[Su-asa]

Loosing streak can be very terrible for a gambler and worse when risk management is not in place. I have experienced it many times and I try never to be in such situation again. I have been a able to find a way of retaining my sanity whenever I find myself enmeshed in loosing streak. I apply the pattern of reducing my gambling amount by half whenever I lose 3 rounds in a row and when I get to the 5th loss in a raw, I take a break. It can be few weeks break or few days break but I will stay away from gambling for a while to put my psychology in check. Others might have their ways of handling this, so I hope to learn too.

It has happens to me ones and it looks so terrifying that I was scared to gamble again, although I didn't lose my whole money on the gamble, I only risk what I could afford. When you check your bet and you see them one red color (from 1 till the end). One would always feel bad when he sees his game like that but one shouldn't panic because that's nature of gamble and we don't have to put our hope on the game we staked on.

I am able to handle big losing streaks with lots of booze and weed.  Kidding, kinda..but I think you make a good point when you mention sticking to the plan.  That's the most important rule in gambling if you ask me.  It's when you deviate from the plan that can get you in to serious trouble.  Having a set budget, is essential.  I've seen so many of my buddies go to the Casinos, plan to spend say $1,000, and then end up going to the ATM and blowing thousands more.  Not so smart.

[Woodie]

I have come to accept losing is part of the game and we can't always be on the winning side, and whenever I experience a losing streak of more than 5games then I know that day isn't going my way... Though sometimes with some stubbornness I do turn a losing run into a winning run and comeback profitable and close the day without pushing my luck too much.

I was in tears laughing not until I saw the kidding otherwise you got me here lol

And talking of plans, with gambling things don't always go according to plan and we should be ready for bad day's and accept the outcome sometimes..

[panjul07]

I'm not really sure how it feels when it comes to losing streak at sports betting because I do not place sports bet really often, maybe only once/twice a week.
Losing streak is common thing, it is even possible to happen with high winning chance such as 1.1x-1.5x
What I usually do when I experience losing streak (casino games) I stop playing or move to other games in case I still have some balance left.
In case I have no more balance, I stop and take rest for days before I come back to play the game again.

Usually when I experience a losing streak, even every time I play it, the game is a slot game. but that doesn't mean I've never experienced the same thing in sports betting, in my theory and dictionary it means I'm in an unlucky phase and very unlucky. the thing is, going on that losing streak in sports really sucks. Every match I predicted failed to match expectations. I am the type who always prioritizes single bets, with a banroll that suits me when making bets. However, there are always bad days that I think we must have experienced the same thing. This can happen in cycles, but not in the context of every time you bet on sports.

Based on experience after experience, there are steps that I need to take and learn from experiences like this. that's why, in my betting theory, I minimize choosing the number of matches. only some of which I have followed and researched before. if the fight is not worth it, in theory I refer to the odds. I don't hesitate not to bet. referring to your bet, well that's why I don't bet. because, for me, it is quite difficult to predict these matches. The reason is, international friendly matches, World Cup qualifiers, are not as easy as analyzing league matches. This affects me personally, because for me the probability is uncertain. However, it is different during World Cup matches or international matches that have entered the group phase. Even then, it is more ideal to bet on the handicap or Under/Over options. referring to your question, how can I manage it. The answer is, I don't gamble.

When it comes to sport betting I rarely place bets on a single game - I usually go for parlays that way I would be able to use little money to bet on games that has the potential to give me high returns rather than to stake on them individually and then risk more. In terms of parlays, I have several tickets that lost with just one and some that has numerous games that cut it.

I’m not a consistent sport bettor so I haven’t experFenced a straight five lists but when you come to slots - I have lost more than amount in a straight game and I never felt anything because I knew right from the start that something like that is possible so me trying to console myself by being frustrated with the outcome seems like a foolish thing to do.
