5 Things to do After a Huge Loss in Gambling.

[Cryptmuster]

You need to set your mind that whatever happens you'll be moving forward to your next goal, don't engage if you are not ready or if you don't have a good discipline in terms of controlling your emotions, those kinds of relative factors that will help you to prevent getting hook and getting addicted.

You must learn things accordingly and with experienced you'll be able to create good strategy to avoid being caught between your emotions and your finances, it's tough to control once you already addicted to it.

Some players find it difficult to continue after a huge loss, there are several reasons for this, but the most important is that it becomes a lesson and never happens again. By a huge loss I mean a bet that is too high for the player, which he has no right to do, because after such a loss, most often, he will not have money to continue playing, and he will constantly think about when he will be able to win back. And if he still wants to continue playing. This should be his main lesson for life, you can never make big bets, because these losses are too painful.

Accepting the loss might be the hardest part of all. There are times we won't stop as long as we still have the money for more deposits. Honestly, I have been in a situation like that and I did think I can come back from all my losses but sadly I didn't. Although, I am thankful I didn't go zero and just accepted that I cannot get back the money that I lost.
We must be prepared with that and I think we can become better gambler if we do believe that we aren't going to win against the house. We can easily quit by using that belief and take the day off or a week off in gambling afterwards.

It only takes good understanding of gambling for one to let go the lose, if there is no understanding in gambling it is very difficult to let the lose go and to stop playing. And at this point one would think if continuing to play money can be recovered by winning, but there are huge chances of losing again if one continues playing .

The reason why it is difficult for some people to stop playing is because of greed, it makes one to feel it is not enough for one to stop playing and gives one much confidence all money that have been used to gamble will be gotten back at the end.

You would really be needing this for you to realize at least on what you are dealing with. You cant really just that make yourself deal with it without being wary about the chances of having those loses. Knowing that gamblers are always on the losing side then you should really be that getting prepared for that so that at the time that it do happens then you wont really be having issues since you can be able to adjust and move on without making yourself having that disappointment. Usually people do take further lengths just to cope up or be able to recover on what they do have lost. This is why at the time that they will be experiencing such huge loses then the primary thing that comes up into your mind is on how to get or recover those loses back. So it will really be that needing up that self control and discipline when it comes into this manner. You should really be that careful on this one.

It's always happen to the low mindset as well as the weakest traits in the gambling line, you learn the hard way and so if this huge loss hasn't happened to you, I think you'll never get to learn your lesson and be smart enough to how your attitude and attention towards gambling next time. Anything that's truly addictive has a way it teaches the victim to be careful when it hits hard on them.

Tiredness is the only thing that gets you off gambling addiction, at some point in your life, you get tired of the games, the delusional winning amount that never come to reality, the high expectations that often create false feelings and cravings of something that never seems to be existing. Get tired and you are getting the ticket to quiting forever.

You're right sometimes is always like that in gambling, which is why as a gambler is always good to gamble with what you can afford. not gambling with what you can't afford to lose, so that even if the outcome didn't work as you expected you won't regret it or even think about it because is only when one is gambling with what he can't afford to lose that he can be tempted to fight back, probably after losing a huge amount of money.

Yeah true but the main thing is you keeping to it as a gambler ( this is where self control comes in ) , so many gamblers kept on saying gamble with what you can afford which is good and smart . But some can’t keep to it especially when they are feeling so emotionally because sometimes or should I say most time gambling can get you feeling emotional 🥲 which is normal but you need to learn how to control yourself, so that you won’t end up doing something you will regret later ( gambling with what you can’t afford to lose ).

It is a must to gamble with the amount of money that we can afford to lose. We know that gambling isn't a place that can guarantee for the win. So, why we must use the amount of money that we don't afford to lose? It is just a greedy one or unrealistic person who spends all the money at once. Also, a person who doesn't understand gambling well, he/she may gamble too excessive. That's why it is very important to understand the gambling nature before we start to gamble. There are too many people who gamble because they are chasing the money. I don't blame them but I assume they are not in the right place if they want to all out for earning money.

Some gamblers don't even care what will be the result of their games , if they will be able to control their emotion or not but all they are interested about is the money they want to win from gambling. Before playing games it is good to make your mind not to be disturb by emotions if the result of the game is not what you wish for.
If one is still struggling with his/her emotions it is not advisable to go into gambling because winning is not 100% sure , one just needs to preparè his/her mind just incase anything happens.

Some actually do learn from their mistakes, while some consider that their mistake as a challenge. After taking some time off to recover from a big loss with a bet stake with a smith that should never have been, some will come back with the same mistake since the loss they experience has left something in them. The eagerness to recover from what they have lost might drive some gamblers to still stake more in order to fully recover in one big hit. The story is not always the same for all.

For players who are chasing victory in gambling, they will continue to gamble regardless of how much money they have lost to bet because the more defeats they experience, the stronger they will be in pursuing their victory. Basically, we should not put high hopes in gambling, and with the results that certainly tend to be disappointing, we should be able to accept this rather than getting upset.
In any situation, victory is not something that will definitely be easy to get. Obviously, do gambling reasonably and not excessively.

Yeah, that's right.

But the tricky thing is that if you actually calculate the odds and think rationally about it, then the best action that maximizes money, or minimizes loses, is to simply never bet.

Now, that's a bit boring though, so if you actually gamble, what's the metric you should go for? Maybe a hard limit? It is a very personal topic I guess

I think that everyone who wants to carry out gambling activities must be in a state of peace, tranquility and calm within themselves, it is impossible for people to gamble with feelings of unease and regarding the risks, every player already knows about that. Of course controlling emotions determines everything in gambling games, if someone only thinks about money, this is a bit dangerous, in my opinion, that person is chasing the money they lost before. There are also some people who say that gambling can be a fun activity if done responsibly and with good emotional management.

This is why at the moment that you cant control your emotion then this is something that you should do:
3. Socialize more, go out, play outdoor games, go on a hike with friends for a few days

Try to divert your attention into other things on which you cant be able to think up on doing that revenge gambling usually that do really happesn if you havent been able to met up your expectations in relation on having that constant winnings on gambling on which we know that this cant really be just that possible There are really just that those individuals who are really having those high expectations but once we do know that gambling reality would slap into your face then this will be bringing out that disappointment on which it will be causing up that wrong actions or shouldnt be supposedly to be done when dealing up with gambling but since we do have that freedom on doing so then this is where they do end up on making up such actions on which whats done is done and on the moment that situation comes worst then is where you would be having realizations.

Loses are common in gambling but this is usually being neglected or something that being that in disregard because there are those people who do really believe that  gambling loses could easily be able to retreived or easily be able to recover but we do know on how reality works on which once this do happens then it is really just that hard for you to make out such recovery. Gambling wasnt supposedly to be that on for making money it is really just that people are really that becoming delusional and thats why they do came up with this kind of approach.

There are gamblers that use their losses as a reason to keep gambling and by doing this they further continue to get trapped in this toxic habit. Chasing your losses has no end, even when you recover there's always a temptation to continue so as to get the Profit you felt like you should have won. This is all part of the greed that takes over the mind of gamblers, that's why if you are not able to control yourself and have mental discipline you'd keep going round in circles of regret. Just like you said we shouldn't put high hopes in gambling, this is what makes a lot of gamblers lose because their expectations turns into desperation.

I have a friend who has a unit mindset and is also silly about gambling, The bigger the defeat he experiences, the bigger the victory he will get later, he considers and thinks that the money he bet and lost is like being stored in the casino and at any time the casino will give back the money he has bet, sometimes more, this is a silly thought because in reality it is not like that.

We do need to limit everything very reasonably, expecting too much from gambling can make us experience excessive emotions because the results tend to be disappointing, and yes, people who expect too much from gambling will not be able to accept defeat well.

While reading this topic, I noticed that very often big losses in gambling are considered a sufficient reason to draw conclusions in the right direction and not allow such things in the future. But in reality, this is often not the case. People tend to blame their failures not on themselves and their stupid decisions, but on a third party - a casino, a sports team, the weather, the stars. And in this case, big losses absolutely do not mean that a person will stop betting amounts that he cannot afford to lose.

That step #1 is a huge one.  Just accepting the loss and calling it what it is.  People get hung up going over what could have been or reliving the bet/game etc.  Once its passed let it go and move forward.  Assess what you need to do to get by it which the op mentions a few.  After a huge loss a cooling down period is probably the best thing.  Walk away for a bit.

This should certainly be the case in gambling, because one should only participate in gambling if one has the patience and self-control to afford the amount of loss one can afford. There will be losses/gains in gambling and you have to accept it. Of course, if it causes temporary stress, it would not be bad to share it with close friends. By doing these two things - accepting losses and sharing them with close friends - a gambler will not break down mentally because close friends or relatives will be able to comfort him in those bad moments.

Hmm maybe it can be said that one of the requirements that is recommended for someone to have before becoming a gambler is to have patience and self-control, yes that's right I agree with that opinion and maybe I will add another thing which is a gambler must also have a good and responsible mentality and of the three things in my opinion the most important is responsibility because only with that will a gambler be able to avoid emotions when they experience defeat.

Regarding your idea of ​​sharing the bitter experience of defeat to one of your friends, yes that is also a pretty good idea, because at least there is a possibility for your friend to try to save you from emotional disturbances that try to lead you to various aggressive actions, so the most important thing in my opinion is to have good responsibility which responsibility you will only have when you understand all about gambling.

In any situation, victory is not something that will definitely be easy to get. Obviously, do gambling reasonably and not excessively.

What you said is possible. A gambler who has lost way too much will probably just keep on gambling because he cannot move on and he thinks he can get it all back one day. This is where it goes wrong, when we cannot accept the defeat and because we are human that will certainly happen. We are vengeful and egotistic, we don't want to rest until we get the victory and this leads to either gambling addiction or financial problems.
We should learn how to accept losses because there's little chance that we can back what we had loss and it's probably better if we can just forget about it and try to start just having fun while playing. Sure, we want to win but remembering our losses will not help at all.

Well, only few people who lacks understanding will do that kind of thing, imagine you’ve been making yourself in a miserable situation which is gambling more without thinking. It proves the person already doesn’t think about his future and such as he throws by gambling more.We all know that gambling relies on luck, it doesn’t work like based on effort to continue gambling and be rewarded, it’s not like that.
