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

[Litzki1990]

Basically when it comes to gambling I mostly bet on sports. If I ever see multiple matches going against me with this betting strategy I stop gambling and try to find where I'm going wrong. If I find a mistake in my strategy, I work on those mistakes again and gamble with the correct strategy next time. I now have enough control over gambling that I can gamble pretty much on my own terms when I catch up. I rely less on luck in sports betting because my experience will help me more here. From my experience I will surely understand which team will be ahead and I will bet in favor of that team. I have not been very successful in gambling with all other strategies but I am very successful in gambling with the current strategy and I do not lose much here.

[Hewlet]

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.

apart from the odd, I guess your reason for choosing these teams would most likely be due to your past knowledge on how these countries performed and you didn't pay attention to there current strength in terms of the players that have been called up to play at the international friendlies and the world cup qualifier. If you look at the recent matches that where played in preparation for the world cup qualifier specifically the Nigerian match against Benin republic, one would normally close his eyes and just bet that Nigeria would win that match but you see that it never happened. The normal Nigerian squad in the past that has the likes of osimehn and ekong would normally beat the Benin republic team but due to there absent and alot of other issues like the coaching factor, the super eagles lost and it you used the odes to judge that kind of match, sorry would be your name.

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.

regardless of how you seems to be certain about a match, it's best never to bet above your limit cause you don't know what's going to happen. We've seen at several occasions bigger team doing too bad against smaller teams and this is part of the reason why you can't solely depend on the odds for your analysis.

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

[/pre]

Nope! I prefer to select fewer games, in most cases not more than 3 and I don't like running games that takes days before all the games will play. It's not my thing and I doubt it will work well for me.

I also like betting on sports betting. I can enjoy the match and the incredible surge of adrenaline while watching the match. As far as I know, there are rarely any bettors in sports betting who experience 5 consecutive losses except those who bet on parlays. Most gamblers who play online gambling such as slots or cards can experience a lot of losses. If I experience a lot of losses I will stop playing that game and for the record I never play with big bets. So actually I don't care about losing a lot.

[btc_angela]

If I will just to add, everyone has a plan here, until you really get into that losing streak and you don't know what to do. Others might stay away from the game itself for a while and doesn't want to feel that emotions of losing because mentally it's really not good. But there could be others who will not stop. I mean they don't take the lost very good and will still continue to play despite the money that they have been pouring.

So again, this is just a big reminder to everyone, I'm not saying that I'm perfect or what, but most of the time after what's been said and done. It's really hard to quit and we really don't know what hit us.

You can't rely on luck, but you can rely on your skills if they are producing wins for you. Learning from your mistakes is important, it's a basic requirement for improvement for us sports bettors. However, this doesn't exempt us from experiencing a losing streak. In fact, a streak of 5 losses is not too long; personally, I have experienced a streak of 10 losses. Nevertheless, since I stayed disciplined, I was able to recover because I still had my bankroll, even though it was down 40% after that cold streak.

Yeah, I completely agree with you bud, although I wont say it's impossible for sports bettors not to lose 5 different bets consecutively, it's very very possible, most especially when the bettor is chasing after high odds, so as to double it tripple his or her money in the fastest way possible, I am not ashamed to say that  have experienced such before, I lost more than five different bets on football games because I was chasing after high odds.

And one I completely agree with is betting on parley, from my personal experience, I did say that there is no other betting games that is as easy to lose as in parleys, And as hard to win as well.
I have possibly have placed thousands of parley bets, but I can easily count the few ones Ive managed to win, I did say that winning on slot and casino games is way easier than winning parleys.

Maybe it depends more on what kind of gambling, because there are gambling games that depend entirely on luck, such as slot gambling. with other types of gambling that require skill to play, of course it can increase your chances of winning, but I think luck still plays a role. because I think even if someone says that professional gamblers can't win with certainty, because of course even if they use their skills or knowledge it won't guarantee that they can win, it's just that the chances of winning are indeed increased, but even so, the loss will still be higher. dominate the gambling carried out.

Ten consecutive defeats is not a good thing, because I think OP has experienced enough damage. with those of you who have experienced ten consecutive defeats, I think you should immediately stop to rest your mind and body, because I think when you have lost more than three times, it can be called an action of wanting to recover losses and of course that is an excessive action which is actually not recommended. . For those of you who have experienced many lucky losses, then you can recover because you still have money, of course because luck is on your side.

[summonerrk]

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

Sometimes, after many defeats, it is worth thinking about - what is the mistake of the strategy that you are currently using in your conclusions in order to make victory closer? When my prediction for one of the betting matches does not come true, I review all the options: whether I took into account the fact that the match was held at home or away, the health of all the players, their conflicts among themselves and within their families, the results of previous matches. And then I usually understand why my bet didn't come true.

But sometimes the luck factor plays a crucial role, and nothing can be done about it. Every gambler should understand that luck can be both on his side and against him, and this is normal. Since the influence of luck is offset by a large number of bets on matches - and then the prediction skill is shown in full.

Stay away for a while from the game is the best solution for those who losing streak up to 5 times because their emotion can be at a high level and can really lose control at anytime. They will difficult to control themselves in gambling and if that happens many times, they will not survive in gambling and will becomes addicted to gambling. They will difficult to accept their losses in gambling and will trying to recover their losses no matters if they use more money.

Their minds will not telling them to stops from playing gambling games but their minds will whispering them to keeps playing gambling. In that situation, they will difficult to decides to stops playing gambling because they can't control their minds and lose self control. That's why we must have strong self control so we can holds anything from gambling.

[MAAManda]

I've been a gambler on sportsbooks since I was in high school, I've gone through a lot of betting on matches, but in your case, I've also experienced it, and what lessons can I take? That's one, it's about don't bet on qualifying matches that have no vision & also friendly, national or club matches.

Sometimes what we expect is not what we bet on because friendly matches are more about entertainment than real competition, what do I do and not want to do?
Rarely bet on national team matches that conduct trial matches.
Will not bet again on pre-season tour matches sometimes also miss in this match even though the odds are small.
Now that the Euros are about to start and the Coppa America, it will be more interesting for betting.

That's what I mean, friendly matches are not an important agenda, there is no vision and therefore the intensity of play is not high. Playing any game on a sportsbook is an indication that a gambler has become a problem gambler, and this should be avoided.

We have a lot of important events especially in football coming up, this is a suitable medium for betting, BTW, how do you think the match will go at the opening of the EURO later? Can Germany cover the -1.5 handicap?

[bangjoe]

A losing streak of five is even smaller to the ones I have lost.I have lost more than twenty streaks in football gambling,but I still didn't give up, because I already know that two things are involved in gambling,it's either you lose or you win. so if I'm not on a winning streak,I will be on a losing streak.Although,the period of time I was losing like that,I really felt bad and was always weak,but I didn't give up,I still have that feelings in me that I will win big someday,and that is what's keeping me.So many persons are losing on a daily,but they won't say it to anyone, because they already made up their kind about losing,that it's normal.

That's the most I've ever lost, I've only lost 7 in a row and you did it 20 times, that's heartbreaking with that many, how did you feel at that time did you feel like a loser or like your world ended when you accepted the fact that you had that many losing streaks, before you believed that you would get a big win someday?
Sometimes positive thinking that I will get a win today when I have lost a few times will lead to the wrong use of money because we are too ambitious and believe, and that we should avoid or we will get the next defeat. should when you have lost until you run out of deposit money can stop at that time because if you continue our mentality has been influenced.

What do you expect? No gambler gambles with the intention of losing. He knew what was at stake and went for it, if the results were good,  we would have been applauding his bravery if it was actually a winning streak. What makes these losses from losing streaks hurt so much is the high expectations these gamblers often have while placing the bets. I have experienced it before and it left me broken because I expected more from it but now I place limits on what i gamble one. Anyone who cannot handle a losing streak should not bother going for what he cannot handle. One major cause of problems for gamblers is high expectations.

On the moment that you would really be having those high expectations then you would really be ending up on making yourself that being impulsive towards your gambling activity or on how much you do spend into gambling
just because you would really be trying out to make it happen on being profitable or making money with it. On the moment or time that you would be experiencing those losing streaks then this is where desperation would really be kicking in on trying out to chase those loses and tending to break even or trying to cope up with a huge win just to cover all the loses that you have obtained. This is why this industry is really that too profitable just because gamblers are really having this kind of approach on which this is really that an endless cycle on which it causes up for this business to be that profitable.

On the moment that im experiencing 5 consecutive loses or more then its something which is really that too small when dealing up with casino games on which you could experience 15 or more specially on dice.
Using up martingale method or any similar thing wont really be able to changed up the condition but rather it would really be making things even more worst. This is why it is really that important that on the moment
that you are dealing up with gambling then you should anticipate that loses would be there and only spend on the money or amount that you can afford to lose and never ever make yourself
that delusional if you dont like on messing up your life with because of gambling.

Yes indeed, when expectations are high it will increase focus on one thing that can make us fall more and more into the excitement and fulfill the ambition and it will make everything fall apart what we planned before gambling and making everything look carded instead of making everything into something that you cannot control, namely excessive ambition and expectations to spend the money you have.

In fact, do not see the losing streak as something small that can make us continue to play until we have a lot of defeats and the thing that must be limited is that when crossing the limit of defeat must stop at that time too, do not think that it is normal.

Their minds will not telling them to stops from playing gambling games but their minds will whispering them to keeps playing gambling. In that situation, they will difficult to decides to stops playing gambling because they can't control their minds and lose self control. That's why we must have strong self control so we can holds anything from gambling.

The importance of using a good mindset because whatever we try to stop gambling but not having the right mindset will obviously be difficult, because every gambler usually has pressure through their thoughts on themselves because they have the goal of getting big money from gambling. The right thing to think is that usually they will enjoy gambling just for entertainment, so nothing will affect themselves.

If every gambler gambles without a budget limit, it will definitely be difficult to control himself to stop gambling, but if he is used to these limits, usually the gambler will know when he has to gamble and when he has to stop gambling, but actually in this case it can be done because the right mindset, without the right mindset it is impossible to control yourself to stop gambling when you lose. Gambling to have fun is better than to make money. If you want to be rich, work or build a business. I often get these words from experienced gamblers so I learn a lot from them to be a responsible gambler.

If we learn about having a good mindset, we will use that when playing gambling so that can also prevents us from keeps playing gambling without stops. Our minds will telling us to take care of ourselves and will not tells to spend more money, especially if we already lose some money. We can think objective and see the reality that we already lose some money by playing gambling so we must stops immediately before we lose more money.

Our minds will telling us to have limitation for the budget and times so we can prevents the lose not to becomes big. Many people lose their control and break their limitation because they lose streak up to 5 times and they can't stops themselves from playing gambling. If they have strong self control, knows how to limits their time and money, have the right mindset, they will not gets any problem from gambling and even they will enjoy their spare time to playing gambling. Playing gambling is just for fun and not for other things so they will feels that it's better they use their spare time to do other things that can gives benefits for them.

Losing in a row in matches like this is a normal thing and we have to be able to accept it even though it is a little annoying and stop for a while so that your emotions can be controlled, so that you don't let your frustration out on betting again which ultimately makes you lose again, when you predict gambling. When you still feel irritated, usually your prediction will end badly, it's better to think clearly in predicting the match and calm yourself before starting gambling again.

Frustration is very certain but I think we have to accept the fact that losing is normal in gambling even if we have long experience as this won't increase our chances when we just rely on luck. That is why we can't be too emotional in gambling or else, this will lead us to more suffering. This is how important to understand the nature of gambling, those who can't accept losses are those gamblers who can't taste winning as well. Why? The more they feel annoyed and disappointed, the more they can't think of the right thing to do because what is in their mind is to get back their money and they will never stop committing mistakes until they realize it.

[Tmoonz]

It's sad to know someone loses 5x in a row in a gambling game.
If you lose, you should evaluate first, the first defeat may be an indication that anyone has to re-evaluate.
But when you have lost 5x in a row, that's a bad thing.

One must have a strategy so that such ridiculous things do not happen.
I will only stop when I get 1 defeat because mentally I will not be able to continue losing.
Those who even go through 5 defeats are too addicted and continue to believe that they will win and win, but in fact, they always lose.

Every one does have a strategy that they do have confident in but the bitter truth has always been, there is no guarantee of a winning irrespective of your strategy whether how long or short you have been using it. However winning has a long way to do with luck after utilizing your most convinced strategy of having the your expected outcome, the uncertainty of either Lossing or winning can not be overemphasize it is an inherent trait of gambling especially when it comes to soccer predictions, because it is embedded with circumstance that one can not have control over it rather than accepting it. Loosing 5 times in a row requires going for a break that is humble advice.

I completely agree that no matter how uncomfortable it is, with such a losing streak, we should admit to ourselves that we have failed and our current luck is still not enough to have a better ending, instead of thinking of any other way to deal with the losing streak, we should put ourselves in a state of egolessness, not taking any further actions when that will be the biggest loopholes. Unfortunately, many people's minds do not help them achieve a state of isolation from the world of gambling, and what remains in their mind is the unpleasant provocation of losing.

[Onyeeze]

Honestly, it is too hard to accept if we already assume to win because at the moment we fail, we really feel bad and disappointed and would raise our temper. A 5-time losing streak is not good but we can't blame other people for this nor the casino, we are just too unlucky not to get any favor. In this case, I would rather stop and pause for a while because this already tells something bad, and the more we push through, the more we lose. Chasing winning is just like we are chasing losses, that is why it is necessary to know how to control our emotions and a need to stop.

the thing is that a real gambler doesn't measure losses, its someone who hopes directly in gambling that he will always win that get temper whenever it lose in gambling, let just give a little instance, that if I gamble and experience a five straight losses and I will have temper, that's liable for me, because I know quite well that gambling is not something of assurance and the risk and the disadvantages in it can equally make you to lose like straight tens without experiencing wining, when you are gambling one thing that should come to your mind should that you might win or you lose, so wining is something that come through chances or opportunity, because its a game of unpredictable and also risk.

Yes, and again it's about everyone's luck, because luck can't be manipulated, and it just comes out of nowhere.
In football betting, 50% research and 50% luck, because football betting still has a lot of research that needs to be done from the game and how the team is doing,
and the rest depends only on luck.

However, on a game like slot it requires more luck because you just need to press the Spin button and raise the Bet to add a chance of getting more jackpots.
But it certainly won't be that easy, because the casino system already regulates it.

Loosing 5 times in a row requires going for a break that is humble advice.

Get enough rest to avoid higher stress because it will be dangerous for the gambler's mental and financial health.
I also choose to take a break and forget for a moment about gambling when there is always a loss.

Yes, maybe someone has his own way of betting but if he overdoes it, it will become something very bad, defeat cannot be tolerated and used as a breeze, we must pay attention to what went wrong to cause defeat, you cannot see that the strategy is right in your eyes but the fact is losing, although gambling is inseparable from luck, but you must also know that you can minimize your losses if at the bet you are too naive to choose and do not think about the right steps after getting the first defeat.

Losing five times is certainly in my opinion a bad thing for someone to experience, and I think if I experienced that even in the second loss I closed my bet that night and then I came back when my heart and mind were calm to thank again, because usually it will get worse if you have experienced an emotional defeat we will have impulsiveness and feel angry with the previous defeat, and that's what might cause you to lose more money that night.

[livingfree]

Whatever happens, don't ruin your plans. I agree to OP that you have to stick from what you have planned for. Because things might go wrongly if you are the one to violate your own goal and plan.

And handling a losing streak is another different thing for each gambler to take. It's too hot to handle our losses because it's not easy at all.

My take with that is no different than the others. Simple, move on and get on your shoes and do some jogs to sweat out that stress from losing streak.
