if you experience a losing streak...

I have another question...

Every gambler has experienced a losing streak, so I’m curious - how do you handle it?

Let’s put it in a betting scenario where we bet every day. Which approach do you think is better for managing losses?

Betting multiple times per day or on most games on the board?
Sticking to one bet per day and being selective?
If you go with one bet per day, have you found it to be successful in the long run? Or do you break your own rule from time to time?

The most difficult thing for me to get until now is a stable win in gambling, I once tried to gamble for a whole day but the results were not good, and also tried to gamble rarely, I lost a good opportunity, so for now I prefer to gamble selectively, I prepare the capital that I really have to spend in one day to place a bet but when I lose then I will stop, and vice versa when I win then I will stop and so far I have felt quite safe with the results of my bets. Gambling too often in a day usually just drains energy and worsens decision making.

Stable winning is difficult to get but one can always experience a steady losing. Just try to be contented with any little winning you get and not always expect winning from gamble. Imo a steady winning might make one to be too confident on gamble and might reach a stage where he will put all the money he have on gamble and wager all of them and lose it. It's good to gamble with what can afford to lose cause when you lose them you won't be depressed or think to chase your lose.

Gambling sites are most likely to become addictive when a gambler wins. When a big win is won, it creates a lot of excitement among ordinary gamblers. At that time, they start considering gambling as a source of income or else and at some point they agree to bet more money. When a gambler gains confidence in gambling, they do not feel any hesitation in betting more money, which is why their chances of getting addicted are higher than others. However, some gamblers can also become addicted by losing because they will try their best to recover the money. In gambling some one can win consecutively, but it is uncertain. Therefore, those who bet with the intention of winning will have increased their losses.

All of this are part of the scheme. The gambling platform already have a plan for targeting those vulnerable ones. If a player gets addictive in gambling platform because winning is easy for them, quick money is already planted in their mind.

That's where the emotions of a gambler will be played and those wins will definitely be used by the system to play the user. That's how losing streaks started and how people lose their minds because of the lose streak, they get depressed, and their lives are now ruined.

It's not easy. Actually, there's no way to handle the situation after a losing streak. All we can do is stop playing and don't mess it up more.

I experienced it many times in the local online casino here in our country and I can say I feel like I am being robbed when that was happening. Emotional stress and hatred will start to pour and the next thing you know, you are already losing thousands of pesos. I learned from my mistakes though and as soon as I see a losing streak, I stop playing for the whole day and come back again the next day with just the same deposit and try to win it back but if it doesn't, just rinse and repeat.

That's a vulnerable and traumatic stage for anyone you know.And asides taking a break, practicing self care should also be acknowledged.The emotional and mental wellbeing of such person's needs to reclaim it's stability and comfort.
Readjust the patterns, mistakes and get used to strategies that'll yield realistic results and improve your next performances.

The same way each time.  If you say sports bet enough, it's inevitable that you'll have a losing streak, it just is what it is.  I've seen professional gamblers talk about this topic before and they say you simply just have to suck it up and keep betting.  Maybe you take a short break, but it's simply INEVITABLE.  It will happen.  For me I dont' bet enough ever to put myself in to any jeopardy or anything.  So I just keep going really.

[kawetsriyanto]

Sometimes a losing streak like that happens because a gambler pushes too hard without doing any analysis, but you are right, he should stop for a few days and calm down before returning.

Yep, it probably happens because of playing gambling too excessive. They may forget that gambling is a place for fun although it also provides a chance to earn money. If they are no longer enjoying the games and too focused on recovering their losses, something like this will happen.

But are you sure they will do as suggested? I'm not sure, usually gamblers will only return once they have money in hand.

Well, it depends on the awareness of the gamblers and how the level of their addiction. If they are aware that the suggestion will be good for them, they may follow the suggestion. But if they think it is useless thing, they surely will never follow it. Also, for the gamblers who are in a severe level of addiction, they may not care with any suggestion.

Losing streak is not a good experience in gambling or any game, so they have to change everything including their playing style and also the games they play. If they previously had a losing streak on slots, then they need to place bets on sports betting or something similar. This is great, but it's up to them whether they need to take a break or try another game.

IMO, it is better to break for a while, then you can change to another game when you return to the casinos. Even you change to another game, the result can be the same if you're not a good condition. So when you're losing streak, I personally prefer to calm my mind firstly.

Defeat is a certainty, no matter how good we gamble, defeat is not something that can be avoided, including consecutive defeats, which are natural, but consecutive defeats will not happen if we ourselves can stop when we have experienced one defeat in gambling because consecutive defeats occur because we continue to play even though we have experienced defeat, this may be because of curiosity that wants to win.
The option that can be done and is good to choose is to stop to rest because maybe that time is not your lucky time, and return to betting at another time when luck may be on your side. Moreover, no one forces you to continue gambling when you have experienced defeat, it is all because of your own actions.

[fruktik]

My approach is simple, I gamble as long as I have the money but I never chase my losses.
So here's what I do, If my wager per bet is $10 I’ll stick to $10 even if I go on a 10-game losing streak. I know losing isn’t fun but that’s just how the game works.

If I still believe I can win, I’ll keep going. But if I lose confidence, then I stop... simple as that.

It's all so simple for you. But not everyone is able to follow such a simple method. Most of us still want to win back the money that was already lost in the betting process. This became a trap for me personally and a big problem later. At first, I thought the same way, but still the desire to win overcame me. I had to increase the bet, but still lost money over and over again.

It took me several years to come to an understanding of my problem. To descend into a pit of financial debts and total shame of the individual and as a person. The trust of loved ones and others was gone. After a long period of recovery, I reconsidered my approach to the game. If I bet, then only with the money that will not be critical for me.

Every gambler has experienced a losing streak, so I’m curious - how do you handle it?

Sure, there times when a gambler can place bets for consecutive days without a win but inasmuch as you don't stake with huge amounts, it won't be a problem because you will just say that after all you didn't lose much but for those that gambles with huge amounts and you experience a losing streak that lasted for a couple of weeks, it will be very bad because by that time they must have lost a lot of money, that is why it is good to gamble responsibly and not gamble as if your redemption is dependent on gambling.

Let’s put it in a betting scenario where we bet every day. Which approach do you think is better for managing losses?

Wrong practice to gamble every day, you can ration your gambling activities or better still don't allow your mindset to be occupied by gambling, it will help you skip to gamble some times. Since i don't occupy my mind with gambling, some days i can even predict games and write it down on a paper waiting to book it later and stake but at the end of the day i will end up not playing it again even when it plays according to how i predicted them, i don't regret not placing the bet.

Yes, that is right because that will make someone become addicted to gambling without he realize. He only want to come back to casino and continue gambling without think about limiting his money.

Once he addicted, he will not care with anything and that mean he will only busy with his gambling activity every day. You must know how to limit yourself in gambling so you can avoid the big lose. Experiencing a lose streak will make us sad so we must always be careful with our decision to playing gambling. No need to use much money to gamble to limit more losses.
When you experience a losing streak, that should be a remind for you not to get the same experience so you can stay aware with your losses and know when you must stop. It is not worth if you keep gambling and want to recover your losses because gambling will not guarantee you to win.

~~

Let's imagine betting every day, like the scenario you said. I'm not really sure if betting every day can produce long-term wins, it also applies to the scenario when we bet only a few times a week. what is clear in gambling is that nothing is certain, winning and losing alternately. it depends on how we deal with it, stop or continue. there is no best way to deal with it when we experience consecutive losses except to stop, otherwise the consequences can be fatal. although in reality it doesn't always end in repeated losses, because sometimes for the umpteenth time we deposit, we can recover the loss or get a fairly large win. it's just that, the problem is that moments like that rarely happen. I like to gamble in any game, but it takes a long time to shape me into a wise gambler. I mean, forget the scenario we discussed in this post. because, the probability of losing is too high, I think it is very risky to drain your wallet faster. I like to bet, but tend to be football. in a week can be several times, not necessarily every day. moreover, there are only a few leagues that I really follow, and even then I bet on certain matches. This makes me more comfortable, in control and not easily frustrated in defeat. Well, we can make rules according to what we want, but also get used to not breaking the rules. Because the rules are made so that we are disciplined, even though we often break them. Actually, we can gamble at any time, whenever we want, no one forbids it, let alone harming others. However, it is important to remember, there are always limits that we have. Because something that is excessive, usually has a bad impact.

This is one of the most common experiences any gambler is likely to face at least once or twice in their gambling journey. I think that some or many people don’t keep track of their betting so they don’t realize how long they have been losing. As a result, they continue playing without seeing it as a problem or caring too much about their losses. 

On the other hand, for some of us, including myself when experiencing a long losing streak can be painful or even troubling, in the past, when I go through that, I feel a strong urge to make a larger deposit, chase my losses and win everything back. However, most of the time doing so only made things worse for me and other times, I prefer to take a longer break from gambling to clear my mind. That way, whether I break the losing streak or continue losing when I return it wouldn’t affect my mood as much as it would if I started gambling again immediately after a bad run. 

Overall, losing streaks are unavoidable imo if you are a regular or heavy gambler. Bad days are something we all go through. What truly matters is how you manage them and handle the situation in a positive way.

Indeed, stop and take some rest it helps to free up your minds and if you choose to comeback you'll be coming back with a fresher mindset and the chance of making your losing streak to overturn is possible, having a clear vision and if possible to reassess your strategy and take a closer look doing your research and study about the game will help to figure it out if what approach is needed to be adjusted. It's more on your assessment and analyze to break that losing streaks that you are experiencing.

I even thought about creating a thread about a losing streak, and coincidentally found this one 
I think I'm on my worst streak, since the beginning of the year I've won a few bets and lost most of them
And it's soccer, where I usually have good results.

I've already thought about what to do, but I need to stick to my plan, since I have a bankroll for each championship I participate in, so if I reach zero balance I'll stop the championship until next season
I'm still a long way from finishing my bankroll, but as I said, I'll stick to my strategy, which has worked so far
Sometimes there's not much you can do when team results don't follow logic

Gambling too often in a day usually just drains energy and worsens decision making.

In gambling, there's no need to be compulsive because you are just going to lose more money than you intended to. You have to go slow and if you are betting on sports games, then you should select games that you have done proper analysis for, despite that skill win not guarantee winning at all time, but it will give you an edge.

I agree with you, games will never guarantee us to win, no matter how much you research and gamble, if luck is not with you, you will never win. And those who cannot understand this and gamble without a plan or with overconfidence, they always face big losses.
So gamble with the right perspective, there is always a risk of losing in gambling, so always gamble with patience and a budget according to your ability to lose, and always follow the limits.

Conservative action that must be instilled in a lucky defeat is to not play or gamble every day, that's what you can do, no matter how complicated you are in selecting a bet but if you do it very often, it will make you feel worse and have a burning desire in gambling so that when you lose you will get a second and third defeat and so on on the same day, then you have to divide your gambling sessions so that you are not always in the zone of consecutive defeats that can make us frustrated.

I consider sports gambling to be the safest form of gambling. If I am experienced and can analyze the matches correctly, then my chances of winning are the highest. Sometimes we may lose money. But most of the time, the chances of winning money are high. That is why I am more interested in online sports gambling. As a result, I can enjoy the matches. It is a means of entertainment, and at the same time, I can gamble. But it definitely requires skill.

Its an inevitable thing on thats why its really that important that you do really know on what you are really that indeed doing or on what you are really that dealing on with because if you wont be that mindful about the potential loses and you have experienced up along the way on which it oppose on what you have anticipated then it will really be that bringing out that huge disappointment on which this will really  be that leading into disaster on which this is something that you would really be needing up to realize in the first place. Gambling does only involved winnings and losing on which there are those times or moments that you do experience a series of loses on which if you wont be that careful on making decisions then you most likely chasing up your loses.

When you are on the verge of losing streak then its recommended that you do set out limits and call it a day. Try to distract yourself about into those impulsive emotions because this is where usually people do really commit out bad decisions at the time or moment that you do become that reactive whenever you are that seeing different on what you have that anticipated on which this will really be resulting into that actions on which it is really that opposite on what you wanted. Gambling do have more loses that winnings.

... then you have to divide your gambling sessions so that you are not always in the zone of consecutive defeats that can make us frustrated.

Keeping the same wager and gamble less often, so there will be more time between those sessions which could end up being a loss to one, it will give more time for one to relax and move on from losses before continuing to gamble again and one won't accumulate frustration so quickly or abruptly.
I have been there when we talk about frustration and consecutive losses, it happens very often on dices, one rolls once, twice, three times and all of those are losses, which prompt us to chase that money. It is similar with sport-betting, one needs to bet with more time in between, so one does not get completely frustrated and start to get reckless with one's money.

Gambling does involve luck and winning is what depends on luck, looking at the different types of gambling with some that depend purely on luck and some that require our own skills, both have similarities which are that they both involve luck.

The absence of certainty that you will be able to win is clear and that is not a problem, the problem is that we cannot control ourselves when gambling, such as having experienced defeat but still gambling in the hope that there will be a victory that can cover the previous losses, this is uncertain but defeat is a certainty and yes what can happen is a series of defeats.
