What’s your worst loss, and how did you cope afterward?

[Patikno]

My worse loss thought that odds doesn't mean much in the Grand scheme of things
And smaller odds compel you to bet an higher amount.


I coped by hating the club, Liverpool for sometime until I had to let go.
They gave me confidence that I went Casanova only for a 1.04 odd to be lost
Likeeeee, I knew there was a possibility but it was too low
But it thought me to really gamble like gamble by betting small on higher odds
And Chelsea is the recent evidence of that decision.

The same thing happened to me, experiencing a major loss just because I tried my luck at a high probability of winning. At that time, I tried an original game (a game like a spinning wheel). More specifically, at that time I tried odds of 1.10 by risking my bankroll of around $600, but not on sports betting like you do, and unfortunately, I lost at that time, and it really frustrated me for a few days after the incident. But now I have truly made peace with it, and it was a really good lesson, namely that there I learned the importance of being able to control myself, and especially also allocating funds that can afford to lose, so that it can really be a good experience in the future.

"What’s your worst loss, and how did you cope afterward? "

As for me, when I have one of those days that I have a big loss, it's more on a mental trauma to me. I can't function as normal, I went into depression mode, can't get out of my bed and go to work and will just call my boss that I'm sick. And this might take to 3 days or even a whole week. And of course, the physical effect as well, I can't eat and so I lose a lot of weight.

How about you guys? Did you experience this when you gamble a lot?

TBH, I can't remember the last time that I experienced myself on the lowest state just because I lost money in gambling because whenever I lost my money, I don't even dwell about it for such a long time.

I guess I'll just share the time when I was still new to gambling. I remember I deposited at around 50$ on my gambling account. Here in our country, 50$ is already huge so to cut the story short, I gambled 10$ on it then lost, then gambled another 10$ on a sports bet and lost again. Because of frustration, I went all in on a team that has almost a sure chance of winning, but instead the other team won losing all of my money.

What did I felt? I felt frustrated as what other gamblers will experience as well, but the way I coped up with that lose of mine is playing online games. During that time, I'm also into MMORPG, and I just spent my time playing the game, and at the same time, killing other players just to release my frustration, and after a few hours of doing it, I'm fine already. We have a different coping mechanism when we lose our money into gambling, but it's good to have one just so that we will not feel depressed if we lose.

My worst loss happened when I was addicted to gambling and it happened in 2019. That day was on Sunday, I did not know what happened and I lost I think more than $500 in just a day after many bets. All my bets that were losses to the extent I was thinking if something was happening to me. It really later depressed me that day. I am now a changed person as I am no more addicted to gambling.

The day you quit gambling is the day you start winning, a lot of people don't seem to understand what this statement means but it actually entails a lot. It takes a lot of discipline to stop an addiction, a lot of people go for therapy and they aren't able to quit because they lack what it takes to discipline themselves. How many months did it take you to get rid of this addiction? If you don't mind sharing the details

Gambling sometimes results in big wins, which increases the excitement of gambling among gamblers to a great extent. There are some gamblers who become so aggressive when they lose a bet that they have to recover all their losses at that time. At one point, they become so addicted to gambling that they lose all the money they have. The more you win from gambling, the more you lose if you cannot control yourself. There are some gamblers who, after winning, start thinking about where and how they will spend that money. But when they lose money in a bet, they lose their common sense and lose all their money. The real meaning of education is that if someone does not get real experience, that education does not last long. Those who have gained experience from big losses will definitely be able to control themselves to some extent.

My worst lost happened to me when I was still in college, had some of my weekly allowance on a sport bookies and we had some few arguments in the hotel forgetting I had no back up funds to cope with for the week I went ahead to agrue with my friends and we staked all of the allowances on the bet and to my suprise I was wrong then immediately I started regretting my actions but it was a lesson. the only thing that happened was that I suffered all throughout the week and had my biggest lesson not to involve in a gamble beyond what I can afford to loss.

Mine is when I totally ruined all my salary into gambling, that really made me feel I’m very irresponsible in my decision making that I let myself get caught with my gambling urge. But that also taught me about gambling the hard way, something that until now, I’m always reminded of it not to make wrong decisions again towards gambling.

Acceptance is the only key. Just embrace your mistakes and learned from it, that’s all. There’s no use blaming yourself, that will only lose your self-confidence. And from then on, I’m no longer getting attracted with betting all-in. That will only ruin my whole bankroll again.

Sorry to hear that you had lost full months salary of you on gambling. Actually i do not think we should place bet the amount which we cant bear of we loss on the betting we do. We should consider several factors before placing a bet on gambling otherwise we have to felt ashamed.

[Dickiy]

This is why we should gamble with an amount we can afford to lose. Otherwise, we'll end up with the same situation as the OP, where losses disrupt all the more important activities in your life, even harming your health. It's terrifying, but that's what happens when someone is addicted; it's truly difficult.

Honestly, I don't remember the exact amount I lost, but it's likely small, probably less than $50, as gambling with just $1 is enough to fill my free time.

The point is, I hope you, OP, can quickly change your approach to a more minimal one, especially in terms of the amount you bet. Don't you realize by now that aggressive gambling can lead to many disasters? So, the only way is to change your approach.

"What’s your worst loss, and how did you cope afterward? "

It's honestly a moment that most gamblers who have experienced it don't want to remember or talk about again, but since it's in the past, it's okay to talk about it a bit.

One fatal mistake ruined everything, namely greed, where my biggest loss came from a big win before and it happened on Slot, a win of more than $ 3500 but not the slightest thought of stopping, thinking that it could get bigger, until finally the balance gradually decreased until it was all gone, not accepting defeat, instead of stopping, i decided to deposit again in the hope of returning the previous winnings obtained and then stopping, but the opposite happened the opportunity did not come again, instead the deposit balance ran out, then depositing until finally spending almost all savings, what a very painful moment to remember.

[Oluwa-btc]

Just accept the defeat and forgive yourself, that’s the best way to move on from a serious mistake.

when I was younger, I experienced one of my worst losses in gambling, I was betting money I couldn’t afford to lose, and to make things worse, I was under the influence of alcohol.  All I had was aggression and zero clear thinking. In the end, I lost not only my own money, but also money that was entrusted to me. It was a hard lesson, but accepting what happened was the first step toward becoming more responsible.

Gamblers are completely optimistic individuals in the sense that they're never wanting to loss or lose,whenever a gambler approaches a game, he's always anticipating for a win.Overconfidence is a reality to every kind gambler, even when they're almost losing,it keeps reminding and encouraging them to try again.

It is correct that gamblers are always optimostick and they usually think they will be winer and there s no chance to be a winner but as they are optimosts and thats why it might be a badnluck for user not makibg anythong perfect so ln the main thing the peraon might be a loser.

This is like adding salt to an injury, I don’t like having that optimistic energy after making a bet because if anything happens and I lost the bet I’ll feel more sad than when I just place my bet and expect the least from it.

If you check those gamblers who tend to think about their bet after they lost it, you’ll notice that it is mostly those who were having high hopes for their bets think NY that something good would come out from it or that their prediction is flawless and since they are confident they can place whatever amount they feel is good and won’t lose it because of their confidence in the bet. Those gamblers usually break down after losing their bets.

It's always advisable to all gamblers to use money that are being attached to something meaningful for gambling because sometimes the money the is meant for important thing could be lose while gambling.

That is why when we are going to play it is Important to see how much money we are going to play with and that money we are willing to lose, that is the key, there is no other way , we are people who in order to act in money matters must plan, and as it is so difficult to determine whether we will Win or not the most logical thing to do is to allocate the money we are willing to lose.

I agree, that's the key so that we'll know how much we're willing to lose. Because if we have gambled with an amount that's quite high and we lost it. That's the start of the mental breakdown and regrets that we should have not gambled with it. And for that reason, moving on is gonna be harder due to the fact that money is more important and should have been spent for other things that we're about to do and not for gambling. This is the usual situation of many gamblers that are breaking down and when they're dealing with their losses that they have not planned it well.

Sure you are right and that is what should be implemented as gambler. You know many people aren't that mindful on how much they uses for gambling but one thing for is that they must lose if they don't use the right money that they can lose to gamble and when they lose it then it becomes something of regretting because it shouldn't be used for gambling.

However, timing is also important while gambling this would help us to manage our bankroll properly, as it's bankroll management is another major thing while gambling because many people after allocating the amount they are using to gamble you would see them placing bet at once with all the amount they have funded and when lose you see them complaining for losing their bankroll.

I have not lost much money in gambling, fortunately. Most of my losses occurred many years ago. At that time I was into betting like binary options and similar games. I remember that I was fascinated by bets where the result could be obtained in less than 1 minute. I remember that I tested a system like Martingale, only with my own, author's modifications. I even kept statistics, carefully wrote them down. In the end, I lost something like half of my monthly income or even one full income for the month. I was upset, but this loss was not a disaster for me due to the fact that my income covered these losses. But I understood interesting patterns - accidents can occur unusually often.

[Smartprofit]

Quite a typical story, by the way! Such painful losses usually follow the same pattern. First, a person wins big. This causes a psychological effect of breaking the pattern - after all, people usually do not receive unexpectedly large sums of money as a gift. People, as a rule, earn money with difficulty and very gradually. Therefore, an unexpected win causes a feeling of euphoria 🤸

Then people try to rationalize this win and invariably come to the conclusion that this event is ordinary, that is, it is easy to repeat. That is why they continue to play to further increase their winnings🙎

Then they invariably lose all their money. This is quite understandable, considering that a big win is not at all ordinary, but a rather rare event 🙅

Then a feeling of loss, resentment arises, and this prompts the player to try to win back. Which invariably leads him to an even greater financial disaster. Yes, such epic losses are remembered forever! A person experiences a huge number of different bright emotions in a short period of time.🪂

There is nothing wrong with a gambler expecting to win in gambling because the reason people gamble is to win. However, the most important thing is to understand that winning is not certain and cannot be predicted. With this understanding, even if you lose in gambling, you don't need to feel a certain way or be desperate to win by all means. Some gamblers think they deserve to win, which is why even when they lose, they chase their losses just to recover their money. Overconfidence in gambling is often a result of a lack of understanding, and it causes gamblers to lose more than they can afford.

[Dunamisx]

I can't think of any worst loss I've made that cost me of deep regret, however, losing upon any bet played in gambling could come as a disappointment in general, because we are meant to feel bad as being unable to perform well in gambling, some will count it something bad while others may not think of it all, because gambling is all about fun to them, we only shouldn't go for a loss that would cost us.
