Why the fear after lose?

[Perfectbaby]

I bet on few matches and it happens that I had few winning but unfortunately I lost it because the last game didn't play as expected as Everton FC - Ipswich Town played draw after I gave Everton to win. Though I have other line up games which I was supposed to bet but due to the lose I wasn't that having that moments to stake any further games.

The curiosity led me to come ask if this has happened to anyone before, having double mind to stake game. Something keep telling you don't stake while the other says go ahead which would you choose if you were the one? Please your response are greatly needed.

You mean because you lose, you do not feel like betting that day again but another mind still want you to bet? I am very different about this because if I lost a bet, I may not bet for that whole week again or I may even extend it to the following week no matter how another mind is tellinge to bet, I will not just bet.

People are prone to more losses after they have lost a bet.

That is a normal feeling when you gamble. You thought that this x bet will make you win but if things didn't go well, you've just lost it and then with the other bets that are in your line up is about to happen and you've decided that you'll bet for them. But, when the time is approaching, you're scared because you might just lose it again. Remember that you are gambling, whether you are the most positive thinker bettor in the whole world, losing is going to be part of everyone's journey. So, if you're not up to gamble, that's fine and let that fear pass you before you're going to gamble again. That's how you can make yourself comfortable, don't be pushy so if you fear and don't want to gamble, don't do it and only do it when you're ready again.

I would guess it is normal, isn't it?
One losses money because a combined bet did not go as you expected and you come across feelings of disappointment and deal with then.
You want to continue to bet for the sake of entertainment and also in order to recover some of those losses you had, but you still have the previous experience in mind and realize there is still the chance you could continue to lose even more money in your next bet, it makes you feel reluctant of betting and scared. It has happened to anyone who has dealt with betting at some point of their life and has dedicated a minimum of time to it.

I would advice you to reduce the size of your wager if you feel scared of losing more money, decrease your risk until you feel comfortable enough with the possibility of losing that new adjusted wager on your screen, that is (in my opinion) the responsible thing to do.

Back to managing our emotions, because there will definitely be many desires and temptations during betting, such as:
- trying other bets that can actually distract focus
- raising bets
and maybe some other factors, which of course the hope is to be able to get more money to win.

But, remember! This is gambling!

So, keep reminding yourself to be more assertive and disciplined in managing your bankroll and also betting, because defeat can only be regretted, and the next bet has no way of returning our money.

So, we will not later experience regret because of defeat.

That just means you’re not confident in your pick. If that’s the case, better to let it pass and look for another game or just wait until tomorrow.

You have to accept the losses, especially when you’ve done the best you could. If you did your analysis right, then win or lose, it’s part of the process. Stop letting fear control you as it won’t help. You’re here to take risks, so man up and accept whatever outcome comes, especially when things don’t go as expected.

I guess this is pretty normal, anyone can have such thoughts even not on a betting. I feel like it’s your instincts and logic trying to protect you from potential loss while your hopeful side wants to take a chance on a win. But when it comes to this moment, ask yourself if you do some research to the game or teams you want to bet, if you will not regret once bet is made... Just like that.

When you are going to place a bet, you should not put your feelings into the analysis of the games and also during the games. Always remain calm and feel that you are prepared to accept defeat. Only celebrate after you see that the result was favorable to you. In this case, for example, if after you placed a bet you had put it in your head that you have a greater chance of losing than winning, then when you saw that you lost, it would not have left you with negative thoughts. You would continue to bet on other games.

For parlays, it seems like the last game we end up choosing in most cases always turns out to be the one or among the games that will eventually ruin the whole thing.

I can make some predictions for games that I want to place my bet on and end up not betting on them again; it could be either because I changed my mind on them or my instinct just asked me not to do it, so it's normal, but whatever decision I make, I don't blame myself if the game turns out positive and I don't bet on it.

Well it's up to you to decide whether to continue or not, Most times when people lose they wagger more or rebet to still try luck, but sometimes they chose or decide to call it a quit to avoid losing more . It is possible that your next move will result to win and it could as well result to loss, now everything lies on you to make decisions. But if I where you I will try like at least 3 times to see the outcome before you can decide to stop and continue another day.

My choice is going to depend on several factors which include - the amount I placed on the game and also the balance I have left. You know losses like this tend to affect your judgement in a way and if you’re the type that bets more than you can afford to lose you’ll no longer be able to think logically all that will be running through your mind would be how to get back your money and even if you don’t trust your prediction for the lineups you have you might still go ahead to bet; so that’s why when ever I feel any bit of hesitation in me about any game I tend not to bet on it and just trust my instincts on it because there’s a high tendency for me to still lose after the first game that didn’t go as planned.

Our emotions works different. If I were you in this position I will go ahead to gamble because one loss or two does not scare me. It also depends the game you are gambling on. I gamble on casino games for fun but you see sports games I do it with the intention of winning. So, if I lose in sports getting I can place more bet but this time I will make the bet less risky by adding only few games to the parlay so that I can realize the amount I lost earlier on. I may choose not to gamble anymore if I have exceed my bankroll for the day.

It depends on how much I've lost on my last bet. If I lost half of my deposit, I don't think I would want to go back into another bet but take a break for the time being. It's just part of you being a human being. You get scared or emotional when you make unfortunate losses. So sometimes for every loss you make, your courage to go into another game continues to decline and when you risk just too much, you may not even have the mindset to want in again. That's why you should risk only what you can afford to loss.

It's normal to have series of thoughts weather or not to gamble further after a loss which you've hoped on winning especially in cases like this where the entire game has been turning out really well except the last game. However it's OK to make decisions from our emotion in times like because the only person you can't lie to is yourself, some emotional decisions has lead to more loss or even make us profitable in most cases, I can't deny the fact that I do make some gambling decisions off my emotions though, it isn't advisable but if we are true to ourselves we can't really help but make some decisions off our emotions especially when it comes to gambling.

You lost in a bet but you still prefer to go for parley which could only mean another loss as people do lose parley and it is one of the reasons the gambling sites are getting rich day after day. I will prefer not to bet that day again is what I have learned while betting just to minimize losses.

Gambler's fallacy in reverse, because you have lost a game, you think that today you will still lose another game since you're using the same tactic.

Undestandable but illogical at the same time since none of the events are related in any kind of sequence, it would be logical if for example you would prefer to bet on a stable and the first three horses of that stable would all have lost, then it means the stable is out of form and their jockey sucks, so keep betting on them would indeed be stupid, but in football games it makes no sense.
The only thing that would help you here is pretty simple, don't bet unless you can easily toss that money in the toilet, if you don't care about them, you won't fear a loss either.

[Darker45]

If you don't feel like betting, don't bet. At least you're feeling that way. It could be the total opposite to others. They could be feeling like they need to get their money back as soon as possible, and so they'll bet more and more simply for the sake of trying to recover their loss. They may end up sports betting as if they're just betting on some random casino games.

Or perhaps that's your instinct saying you're not feeling lucky that day. I oftentimes follow my gut feeling. I'm not saying it's accurate, though.

[michellee]

It is normal if you are afraid to place more bets after lose because your minds may think that you can loss more money. Some people will decide to stop gambling but other people will keep place their bet because they think they may win. It is personal decision so you should consider carefully and the important thing is you need to accept whatever will happen with the result.

If you fear after lose, you should not place more bets in that day. You can back to the betting site other days so you don't have any negative feeling so you can analyze without feeling bad.

[GreatArkansas]

Also add the amount you lost because it adds to the fear you feel, especially if you lost too much, the feeling like your whole body went for a short period of time.

Take an example you lost small amount vs big amount - the feelings are different.

Yes what happened to you happens to majority of us and honestly whenever we find ourselves in this kind of situation you will agree with that there is no longer fun in continuing because you are already having double minded and in most cases we ended up losing and blame ourself for not listening to the other mind that said you should no bet any further perhaps it is not meant to be so because at that point you are completely controlled by your emotion resulting to not making informed decision, you might even not make predictions as you used to properly, as for me whenever I have this kind of thoughts I leave the betting premises and get my sanity which is very important.
