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

[SmartGold01]

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

We should always have this mindset that gambling without experiencing winning and lose doesn't make gambling complete but its pains more when someone are experiencing more lose than it should win in gambling, yes we know that we can't predicts how we should win or lose but we should have it at the back of our mind that losing is one thing that we would always experience than that of winning. Of course you have to learn to endure some painful things if you must keep gambling because those who can't bear the risk of losing money easily quit gambling this as a results that they don't gamble with they can afford lose, that is why we should endeavor to gamble with little amount we don't attached much feelings to than gambling with the amount so high whereby when lost any bet we feels it so severely in our heart.

This is how odds work, they work against you most of the time. They probably work always against you, but a losing streak for a whole week, well then this is hard.

It would be interesting to see your bet slips. Whether you are going for results that are very unlikely to become true or not. I think you know better than all of us, but sharing would indeed be interesting. The discussion here would have more meaning then.

When this type of thing happens m8 it is always best to sit off maybe a week, collect your emotions and thoughts and process these. Spend a good bit of time researching and strategizing before you place your next bet to minimize your risks & place the most well informed and educated bet that you possibly can based on your research. From there you can be sure of 2 things, you're not being emotional and rushing into things instread you're regrouping and keeing your cool and 2 you're putting in the time to minimize your risks so surely you will break your losing streak! Not every really a streak yet if you just started on first loss in a while.

In the past, I felt that one as well. The feeling of depositing more money because of the losing streak that you've faced. The feeling of being emotional because you've been losing for days consecutively already. I've felt that in the past.

Nowadays, I guess I'm lucky that I might feel disappointed whenever I lose some money (or sometimes lose it all), but I'm not into a point already where I need to chase those losses and be emotional with those losses as well. As much as possible, I want to limit my gambling spendings hence, I need to make some huge adjustments. How to convince yourself and still enjoy gambling? Hmmm, what I'm doing is that I'm moving away from gambling websites for the meantime while I let myself cool down. After a few days, I'm okay again to gamble and as for enjoyment, I still enjoy gambling despite of losing money. I don't know, but maybe it's only me that feels like that.

 Have a break buddy, stop betting for a while and take a rest or put your time to other things.
If you still can't hold it, do more research, maybe you are lacking of research like who is injured or not playing.
their match-up history. if you can't still win i have a good Idea for you.
list down the team you want to bet, put your money on the opponent.

Keep in mind that gamble the money you can afford to loose.

I have experienced the same thing but not with sports betting but with a casino slot bet, actually it is a natural thing if we experience a successive defeat but what we have to think about is a way to respond to things like this correctly, by saying how to convince ourselves to Continuing and still enjoying the real gambling that must be changed is the mindset, if it has experienced a consecutive defeat the way that must be done is to stop betting.
When we have experienced defeat and still want to continue to bet what is that does not mean we are pursuing defeat or victory? Such behavior I feel is the wrong behavior because it is included in the behavior of pursuing victory while victory in all gambling should not be a priority.

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

You can convince yourself to move on by accepting the fact you can't turn gambling into a source of income. If you are to enjoy gambling, you have to enjoy it for another reason. You must not feel sad if you lose money during a gambling session, because that is what is going to happen to most gamblers on long term. It means you have to enjoy the process of gambling, and not only the outcomes. Once you are able to do this, then you are ready to still enjoy gambling, despite the fact it's unprofitable in most cases.

On the other hand, if you think it's foolishness to think like that, maybe gambling isn't an interesting hobby for you, because it doesn't have what it takes to make you satisfied in the end. So it could be already time to start investigating and looking for another hobbies you can really feel entertained after all.

I think every gambler have been in this position before, one thing that really looks very hard for gamblers to accept is losing. Winning is never easy in gambling, especially in sports betting, to go a week losing streak is very common and easy but to go on a week winning streak is very hard, it doesn’t matter how many odds you try to make. All gamblers lose more than they win.

The big question is hope you are not betting more than you can afford, for sure after so losing streak you will get your wining. Just keep doing your thing, stick to your kind of selection and your winnings will come, but always try to gamble responsibly.

Yep, take a break for a while will be better than keep playing gambling. Your emotion in a high so it is better calm down first so you can think clear what you have done before. Make your mistakes as a good lesson for you so you don't have to repeat the same thing as before. Losing streak indeed pain but you need to forget it because that is the risks of playing gambling. After all, you should introspect to your gambling activity and it is better to reduce your gambling activity so you will not have to lose more money like before. He can follow your suggestion but he must take a break for a while to forget his losses.

[Dewi Aries]

I think what you are experiencing is a common thing experienced by most gamblers including myself who sometimes I also like to feel emotional when the results are not as expected, and I think it happens because it seems like you are gambling at the wrong time like when you are having other problems that make you feel bad, I understand that entertainment in gambling can solve your mood problems but sometimes it can also be the opposite.

So my advice is to try to improve your approach to gambling, starting from gambling at the right time, gambling with an amount of budget that you are ready to lose and improving your responsibility aspect for whatever the results of the decisions you have taken.

You have to first convince yourself making self to understand that losing is a part of gambling as much as you're eager to get a win and make profit. What you making as mistake going by your expression is that you making it appear for you as though you only have got to be winning and shouldn't be in any loss all through as you gamble and that's why you're obviously growing those bad emotions and losing focus leading to you chasing your losses. And under such circumstance, the more you play the more you are prone to losing. Learn to accept losing that's how you'll get to enjoy gambling. Simple as that.

It depends on what the purpose you have in gambling. If you bet for fun - just take a break from gambling. Few weeks would be enough i think. Or make your bets rare, it can make the game more interesting.
If you getting stable profit from bets - just be patience and continue betting. Some time later you will "find focus" again. Just don`t stop. And try to do additional research. In such situation you can miss some factors.

[Reid]

Don't worry you are not alone on this experience, I have been there too. It's like everything is not going your way even you bet for the favorites or the best odds possible. Take a rest. That's what you can do. Maybe if you miss the sport that you are betting something will spark again that will make you try one more time after analyzing it. Or, you could just enjoy watching the games and maybe that will help to make you decide what your next bet will be.
Taking breaks is healthy, it gives you time to think things through.

Not only you, all of us may here have felt the name of boredom, as a gambler of course gambling emotionally and also without focus will only continue to make us experience losses and actually it will further add to the problems in our minds, I personally have experienced boredom like you said when continuing to gamble, so that it makes me often make irrational decisions, the only solution I did to overcome the boredom was to stop gambling for a while and spend time to go fishing for a week.

[TopTort777]

Maslate, why it took you so long to start thinking about your latest gambling experience? 1 week of losses is bad, you should have taken a pause after few days. Or it would be even more preferable if you do not gamble every day I was never in a situation when I constantly keep on loosing over and over again, cant give any advice except make pauses between sessions. Watching sports without a bet is also fun. A gambling can wait, think about it next time you notice that you open casino page several days in a row. Addiction might knock on your door anytime.

Gamble with the money you can afford to lose and you will see how easy it is to let go when you lose. A new year has started and you are losing but that doesn't mean that the tide cannot change in your favour, just manage your portfolio well. You could be feeling that way because you are desperate to make money in gambling, and if this is not coming forth as you envisaged, it could subject you to some emotional mess. I advise you to keep it cool and never rely on gambling money for success.

This is how odds work, they work against you most of the time. They probably work always against you, but a losing streak for a whole week, well then this is hard.

Losing consistently for one week straight is something op need to take a look at to know whether the strategy he is using is not good enough or he need to take a rest. For you to keep losing over and over again is something that I think it's not ordinary or due to the pattern op is using it play bets. Maybe he needed to change his pattern and focus on a well analyzed bets than betting on just random games for the money.

There are something every gambler need to know when gambling so that they don't keep getting the sma e repeat outcome, many a time when you keep losing bets. Fear of taking a bet because you don't know what the outcome will be is one of the reasons why you could be seeing the same unfavorable results.

I remember when I started gambling newly I was lucky enough to have some good winning even when I didn't know about it football betting to be precised, but as time goes on there was loses too where I started chasing losses, not until I realized that I needed some break. However my advice for you at this point is for you to give yourself a break to avoid chasing losses and lost even more because your decisions based on the amount and time allocated to gambling will end up being under pressure which is very wrong. The best you can do for yourself is given yourself a break, he who fights and run live to fight another day, readjust your gambling approach especially the aspect of only gambling with an amount that you can afford to lose irrespective of  the circumstances whether you are winning or Lossing, that way you can enjoy gambling.

It's a natural process in our thoughts that we have to do something or else, we'll get more damage and that damage in our finances will be self inflicted.

Unfortunately, there are people who do not have much more beyond gambling, you know. They have allowed gambling to become part of their life to the extent they cannot imagine their life without gambling consistently everyday, as that is how they cope with the nasty reality they do not want to deal with.
It is hard to withdraw from gambling when it is the only thing giving you some "positive" feelings, in spite of all the financial losses that had been accumulated through months.

I couldn't agree more. It is true that it's hard to withdraw from gambling and remove it totally if someone desires to get out of it.

They have all the chances to remove it but it won't be on an instant result and they need to deal with the consequences before they totally are out of it.

That is why people need a family, a job, a career, a hobby, anything beyond just gambling all day.

This means life but what if gambling is their life? only they can help themselves with that matter.

I’ve done it now, though not a complete break, but I’m limiting my bets. It's kind of like quitting smoking, where they say not to quit cold turkey. So, I’m applying the same principle. And so far, I’m still on a losing streak but it doesn’t hurt as much since I’m only losing small amounts compared to what I used to bet.
