I am currently on 1 week losing streak in sports betting..

[peter0425]

I've been into sports betting for quite a while, but times like these are pretty tough. Even though I've experienced this before, it still keeps coming back like feeling a bit emotional, losing focus, and sometimes gambling more than I should.

You are losing focus because you are getting frustrated and getting emotional. There is only one thing to do when you are losing focus like this: regroup. You need to retract and take a step back from gambling. Nothing good or productive will come out if you keep going.

Anyway, have you had the same experience? How do you convince yourself to move on and still enjoy gambling?

Losing is inevitable when it comes to gambling. It is always expected. But when you are losing consecutively, you need to remind yourself why you are gambling. If it is only for fun and you are no longer having fun then you need to consider stopping for a while. It doesn't have to be a long break but just enough that you can miss gambling again and you are reminded of how fun gambling is.

Buddy if I should be sincere with you, I will say is time for you to give a break, it doesn't mean that you will not continue later, for you to share this with us here it simply mean that you're bothered, with the little I know, once an individual shares what is bothering him or her such person becomes a bit relieved considering people's comments on what he shared, though in this case you've started going extreme and you've to check your gambling habit, because at any stage a gambler notice that he or she now gooes more often than before even with continues losing then there's danger ahead that needed to be checked in other to be safe from what extreme gambling begets.
Mate at this point you have to retrace your step very quick if you've not already, in gqmbling just know that losing is normal but chasing of loss is very abnormal, how do you move on when you already know that all is not well, just work on your self, this is the time for you to apply self discipline, take those losing as part of the system, stay off for some time even though you'll be coming back later, make sure you're in control of your gambling activity and know when to say no and continue when it's necessary, this is my humble take on the situation at hand, I hope it serves you well buddy.

That's right and when you undergo such a pretty tough experience while gambling it's advice you put a stop to it or give a break for awhile cause such consistent gambling often leads to countless losses experience that you won't enjoy and to be rest assured and not have a great deal of loss this is why it's said to have a specified amount to gamble with is more preferable.

What any experienced gambler will do at the point of continuous loses is to take a break, focus on other things that makes meaning to them. Despite that gambling can be fun and something that we shouldn't engage in to make steady income, nobody likes to be on a losing streak. It can make you sad and the feelings can distract you from being productive in your work and your relationship with others. At this point to continue gambling is not advisable because the loses can continue. We should remember that there's no guarantee for winnings in gambling so take a break for as long as you want them come back more refreshed to try your luck again.

Gambling can never be a means of permanent income, an uncertain and risky game like gambling will most of the time only lead to losses and disasters for gamblers, and this has a very negative impact on gamblers and gamblers are more likely to sink into gambling addiction. Therefore, a gambler should never gamble excessively, he should take a break and control his emotions. Gamblers should understand that the results of gambling always involve uncertainty and risk, gambling is likely to give negative results most of the time, so know your limits, to stay away from the negative effects of gambling and its addiction, you must keep yourself under control, and have certain limits on gambling, and have the tendency to exit/stop gambling at a certain time.

It's good that you are already aware of the situation. I think you are about to open a dangerous door if you continue that way. Try to take a break from betting to clear your mind (if you can still handle it), or discuss this with a counselor. Maybe you are just stressed at work or in life, and you focus your energy on gambling as an escape. I hope you can move forward and continue enjoying betting responsibly once you come back after your break (or you can even stop playing if you don't enjoy it anymore)

[Samlucky O]

Losing 1 week streak is enough to call it a quit and rest for a while. Gambling is not a source of income where your investment has something to get in return after a whole lot of time spent. As far as gambling is concerned it should be done with a lesser amount in sats where the loses will not affect the gambler. It is always stated that gamble what you can afford to lose. A wise gambler gamble and check his wining and losing proportion, when the losing proportion is high he reduces and maintain or stop for the moment and begin again. Check yourself if you are not getting addicted.

I think this is good advice, taking a break is very beneficial ^{and not just with Gambling}.
It allows us to reset and when we feel its time to get back into it we come back
with a refreshed view and also allowing for some contemplation on our previous
approaches to gambling and what led to losses.

I have found before while on a bit of a losing streak its more beneficial to stop
rather than get sucked into actions like chasing losses and not thinking straight
because the focus is wrong.

This is a simple approach which my not necessarily work for people with serious
addiction problems.

[danherbias07]

I don't chase losses, I think that's the difference. Whenever I put my bets on the NBA, win or lose, I won't go back and bet on other sports even though I know a bit about them.
Why? That is where the problem comes in. We are trying too hard to claim back what was taken from us and our mind is clouded by it and that's when we make big mistakes. We thought we did our best to analyze the game but we truly didn't because our purpose is revenge and win back what was lost.
Stick with one or two sports. That way it won't hurt so much when you bet. I suggest slowly trying to win it all back by small bets, an amount that you can afford to lose and maybe that will ease you up and clear your mind so you will have better results.

Do not make a bet on every event, make a bet on events where you are 100% confident that you'll win the bet. When I first started, I was placing bets on every event and I was also considering the odds of games. It was a huge mistake, odds mean nothing, believe me. Then I tried to slow down and place bets on matches where I was confident. For example, if there is Barcelona vs Real Madrid, I wouldn't place a bet but if there was Barcelona vs Valencia, I would place a bet.
I also started watching every football match in La Liga, Seria A, BBVA and Premier League, I was reading lots of articles about teams, and I was trying to learn about the footballers of each team, how they were performing, what issues they head, what was the history of previous matches between opponent teams and etc. It's not easy to make money from sports betting, you need to spend lots of time on TV and sports news websites but I'd say that it's fun and sometimes rewarding but be ready for some loss too, you can't win always.

One week of a loosing streak in sports betting - quite a negative achievement. Its good that OP decided to share that and possibly take a pause from gambling. Even if he wasnt chasing losses, but perhaps wasnt good at making right predictions, having a pause is a good strategical move. That pause is needed to get rid of irritation from losses and making wrong decisions; its should "restart" his luck, focus, self confidence.

[AGULIS]

I think almost everyone has experienced the same thing as you, and it really feels bad when you are on a losing streak. This condition is even worse when gambling more than it should be. I personally have experienced it too, when I realized to stop for a while and try to calm myself down like doing other activities to entertain myself, and in the end found the importance of self-limitation, so that it can make the situation better, and get a sense of security when starting to gamble again, and this certainly makes it comfortable to continue enjoying in gambling.

When you’re comfortable with your limits and don’t let losses dictate your emotions, you can keep enjoying it without the emotional toll.

Can you share the frequency of your betting like how many times do you bet per day and how often. This is always the problem of experienced bettor when they are facing this issue due to the low quality of analysis just to cover more bets.

Anyway, have you had the same experience?

I never experienced this long winning streak since I usually stop with a long interval whenever I experienced complete wipe out of my bankroll.

How do you convince yourself to move on and still enjoy gambling?

I’m sure you have job, family and friends that you can focus your life.

Gambling is for entertainment, not for making money. If gambling is for entertainment, then you should not gamble again and again after losing because it will be more painful than entertainment. I have never experienced such an experience before and even if I lost one or two bets, I still took a break there because I know that anything extra is not good. If I start again after losing, my analysis will not be very good and I may lose later. Moreover, I participate in matches where I can predict the win. When you lose, why don't you take a break? You should definitely take a break because at this time your analysis is not going very well which is why you are losing again and again.

Though it's not really easy for someone who is experiencing a losing streak in gambling to reduce their dedication to gambling activities because you will basically be thinking about how much you have lost already and how you can recover your losses even if you don't make further profits again but what you should do is to be calm, then that time you normally devote for gambling you will use that time and engage in other things that will distract your attention from gambling, before you realize you will start reducing your engagement in gambling activities.
            On a norm, no one will feel good that they have been experiencing a losing streak even though you gamble for fun because within those periods, you have lost a whole lot of money that you can use for other productive things. The reason why you are feeling emotional about your losses is simply because you are always occupied with the idea of winning while you gamble that is why it is becoming painful to see that you have been on losing streak for a week now.
           You can also decide to take a break for now, it will make you feel better such that when you return back to gambling you will feel relieved because you will begin to imagine how much you could have lost why you took some days off from gambling and it will also give you a good sense of understanding to know that you ought to only gamble with an amount you can be able to bear if losses occurs in the course of chasing winnings.

I think we all have almost the same problems and experiences even in different situations and contexts, but what you share based on your experience in this thread is a common problem. you even said that this situation is not the first time, but at moments like this it is sometimes very annoying. what is clear is that in a situation like this there is no moment that we can enjoy in gambling, the problem is that we are being bullied by emotions that make our feelings chaotic. well, if someone is unable to control themselves, they often get carried away and sometimes bet more than usual. this is normal, when we are in a situation of angry emotions, we tend to act to force the will to bet again in order to recover previous losses. the lucky ones can recover or even double their winnings, unfortunately the unlucky ones lose a lot of money. for me the problem lies with us, if we are able to control ourselves, ending the bet is a wise choice. but if otherwise, be prepared for the scenario of losing a lot of money.

Exactly, emotional stress enters when you exceed your limit or when you start counting your losses and sum it up to point that you realized that you are losing enough that exceeds to your limits even if you play a bankroll amount that within your limits range.

I always disregard my previous gambling game whenever I’m playing for the day. It’s always a fresh start for me so that I will think about my previous losses that can affect my mind while playing or even after playing when in loss.

Emotional problem intensifies if you let your realization sum up all your losses even though that bankroll is what you can afford to lose at that moment.

Yes, I have experienced a losing streak in my bets. Previously I was very lucky in the parlay bets that I made. But after that not only 1 week, maybe almost 2 weeks I was in a difficult situation with continuous losses and very few winning bets. What I did was stop for a week in any gambling activity. So I just work and do housework. I didn't decide to stop, so I came back when my state of mind was better. I don't bet Parlay impulsively anymore.

[Yucky]

For me the problem lies with us, if we are able to control ourselves, ending the bet is a wise choice. but if otherwise, be prepared for the scenario of losing a lot of money.

And that's just it, if you allow a  losing streak to get hold of your emotions, and you're now making decisions based on emotions, you're bound to shift to responsible gambling, spend more than your budget and still end up on unhappy because there is no guarantee that you're going to win. I know it's not easy as human beings to be on a losing streak and be tough, you're definitely going to feel it, knowing or unknowingly, you're going to see yourself acting different and more gloomy.

Hence, it is wise that you spoke up here, so you get motivation and advice from other gamblers, then you can equally talk to a friend physically, so you can get the right push to just pause at that moment.  Pause take a deep breath, tell yourself this is not your winning time, and come back later, or try a different game, but take your, and take your hands off the bet that is giving you a losing streak at the moment. It's not going to be easy, but it's wise you do it to avoid sorry stories later on.

You don't have to wait for anyone to tell you to give it a break, you just have to go on either a long or short break. Having a losing streak can mess with your emotions and this can make you incur more losses. I have also had some messed up days that's why I decided to give it a break. This is the ability some gamblers don't have, it's actually takes a level of discipline to do this. Gambling constantly especially when you are losing is a display of lack of control. Take some time off it, find something else to do to keep you busy or distracted. Clear your head then get back into the game after a while.

Of course, losing streak (and, what can I say, even single losses) create negative emotions and unpleasant sensations. Did you think that with experience you would have some semblance of immunity to such long losses and that it would be easy to perceive? Of course, it is not so.

Any gambler has experience of losses, but you turned out to be, hmm, damn lucky in terms of duration. I have not had this and will not have it. Btw, I didn't convince myself to continue after the loss. You should do the same. Why do something that doesn't bring pleasure? And doesn't bring profit. You should stop getting carried away with gambling. At least for a while. After a break, perhaps you will return the pleasure of the gambling process. But what you have lost, you can't get back.
