How quickly do you forget a loss

[SuperBitMan]

I gamble for fun and not for making money alone so as soon as I lose any prediction I don't feel bad and I forget it immediately, if your purpose of gambling is to become wealthy through it then I believe you will always be staking very high in other to win huge amount of money and when it didn't come out as predicted you will become so angry and you will always be thinking about it and some set of people they will think about it for 1 month or two that is because they are gambling all because of money they don't care about the fun they just want to become wealthy through there prediction.
I will say it again please don't enter into gambling because you want to make huge amount of money through it because if you do you will end up losing huge amount of money day by day and it can lead you to addiction to a point that you will start selling your properties in other to gamble which is very bad, if you want to become wealthy or rich then look for a job or you can start a little business gambling is not actually for money making is for fun.

Every loss teaches us something, so I try not to forget at all.

That said, I always gamble very little. To some of you who don't earn much money, losing $50 might be a big deal, but always try to compare the loss to something like your monthly income, or your total money in the bank, or the amount of money you have to spend on bills every month. If the loss is like 1% of that or less, there's really nothing to worry about. You took your chance and that's it. Could have been +$50 now you're down. No pizza party this weekend LOL.

It depends the most on the details of the situation. For example maybe the loss was massive then it will take a longer time to forget and if it is smaller it will be faster. It is healthy to do it this way. There are those people that are in denial about the consequences of their actions and they say that they can forget big losses fast. This is very unhealthy, never do this. It is a child's attempt to run away from reality and it never works. This usually leads to other compulsive behavior and mistakes. I particularly only had a big loss a few times and it did take some months and in some cases years to swallow it, but this doesn't have to be restricted to gambling. You can also make very bad investment choices which at the time sounded good.

I don't see any reason why we should go on in continuation to keep on having thoughts over a loss, when it should have been left as a forgotten occurrence in other to move on and gamble the more, if we are looking back a the past mistakes we made, then we may be definitely discouraged towards goin more further in having fun gambling, because it can caused us to go under being depressed and also affect playing further by giving our best of ability, thinking it may ended the same way the previous did.

We get depressed thinking that if we don't reduce the amount of money we are losing at the moment, we will lose more money in the future. The ability to start playing to win and accept defeat is not present in all gamblers. Those who have these special qualities are able to continue gambling for the long term. I consider past mistakes a learning experience because those mistakes will help you to be better in the future.
Whether you play more or less, you should have a habit to manage the current trend with periodic consistency and you will become more responsible.

Every gambler must have the mentality of accepting defeat. Those who cannot accept defeat will never be able to gamble long-term. In gambling, where winning and losing are very close, you have to accept either winning or losing. Just as you will not always win, you will not always lose. If you can accept winning or losing naturally and manage gambling with discipline, then it is possible to survive in gambling in the long term. Those who cannot accept defeat will have their losses increase and at some point they will lose everything. If gambling can be accepted as entertainment rather than using it for the purpose of making money, then it will be easy to enjoy gambling.

Only people who are new to gamble and still dont understand what it means to be a gambler will stay long regretting over a loss

I agree with you on this one, even most of this gamblers who are with the right  knowledge about gamble still find it hard to let go off thier loss so easily, I'm talking about those guys whose intention is to make profit in gamble this set of people don't let go off thier loss so easily because they don't stake with what they can afford to lose when they already know the disadvantage of staking with what they can't afford to lose,  is always advised to stake with what we can afford to lose so that even if the outcome didn't work as we expected we won't think about it that much.

Every loss teaches us something, so I try not to forget at all.

That must be a large brain retention ability, all my losses in gambling is way too much to be able to think about them all, only new gamblers can do this, there are some losses that I can forget because of the circumstance around them and some were the events of the game, but a usual gambler can not keep all of their losses in their head. I just try to forget my loss and a win helps me do that.

[silpersurfer]

Gambling is all about fun, but no one enjoys losing, especially if it's a large loss. It's difficult to accept and forget. Because we can't accept the loss, it lingers in our minds. This can lead us back to gambling, to gambling beyond our predetermined limits.

It's important to understand that winning and losing are common in gambling; they're part of the game. To be able to accept every loss we experience and forget about it, we must always ensure that our gambling doesn't exceed our predetermined limits. In other words, we should only gamble with money we can afford to lose. The reason we can't forget a loss is because we gambled with money we weren't prepared to lose.

I personally still have difficulty accepting defeat well and forgetting about it, but by sticking to all the limits I have made previously, at least this does not make me go back to gambling at the same time which will only increase the losses I have experienced.

Some players are so unprepared to lose that they start behaving like little children, although in fact adults can have a family and be responsible for its well-being. And in the game, when losing even a small amount, they can explode and splash out emotions, because they thought that in gambling games they would just get lucky and leave, but it is too naive to think so. Personally, I do not think that I will be able to win and run away, and I am completely prepared for losses. I want other players who read this to think about what category of players they belong to, maybe someone was just blind and it was not obvious to him.

And it's true, winning significantly helps to forget losses. Typically, people only remember a few of them, the first seemingly dramatic loss and major losses. If someone talks too often about their gambling experiences to others, whether it's about losses or wins, it will certainly make it difficult for them to forget. This heavily depends on a person character, and in my opinion, it's better not to share much about gambling experiences with others.

Instead of remembering losses, I believe many people are more inclined to remember wins, especially wins at specific moments, regardless of the amount for instance, when they desperately needed money. However, both losses and wins can push someone into gambling addiction. Those who lose tend to want to chase their losses, while winners also tend to become hooked.

Most people are actively suppressing memories of losses to preserve their ego regardless of how much they are winning. This is a sign of weakness of character. Instead of bravely admitting their mistakes, they run away from them like little children and try to hide that they did something wrong. This is actually one of the main reasons why gamblers continue to repeat the same mistakes, besides compulsion that is created by addiction. Unless you are able to bravely admit that you did something wrong then you can't learn anything from it.

Big losses or close wins could be painful. When you lose an amount you cannot afford to lose, it could be retained in your memory for a long time.  I can also recall when I lost a bet because of a silly mistake I made. It was painful because my analysis was right but I erroneously picked the wrong teams.  There was also an incident in a physical betting shop where an attendant placed the wrong games and it made me lose money.

Totally depends on a certain individual but since we are that speaking about gambling specially to those who are casino lovers then the level or how fast that they would be able to forget those loses then it would be that something that do talks about being insteand. With a fast paced kind of gambling game then you would definitely be having that kind of chance that you will be just that simply forget and move on with those loses that you had committed out and also when you are that playing on fast paced manner then a single win will be that wiping out completely those series of loses that you had experienced earlier. You might be that having that feeling of disappointment on which it would be leading up into frustration until you would be doing up actions on which it shouldbt be supposed to be done. In gambling then loses are mot that very rampant than into those people who do able to make money and that the reality on which you shouldnt that aiming for that because it will be that making up yourself to be that becoming desperate and if you are losing then that would be a trigger for you to lose up that control.

You should that easily move on when you are playing gambling and not just that simply trying out to become impulsive at the time that you do gamble. Never ever make yourself having that kind of positivity that you can make sure money with gambling. Come to think that these things were made just for the sake of fun and entertainment and not something that brings up some income into those gamblers who are dealing up with it. Theer are just those times that you do become that optimistic because of the things that you've been that dealing into. There are those situations that you might be ending up that too positive but still you would be losing up in the end of the day on which it will be bringing out that kind of frustration on which it will be leading into those actions on which arent supposed to be done.

I will like to know how quickly do you forget a painful loss and bounce back. I hate losing and after a big loss I will be frank I don’t forget it immediately although I don’t let it define my next game but it takes a while for me to forget a big loss and the best way I forget about a loss is how fast I can have a win in my subsequent games. A win is like an antidote to my sadness after a loss.

It depends  for some person's they can't really recover from a loss from gambling but sometimes having a win can reduce and also make them forget the incidence so soon. But in a situation whereby no win is involve it'll definitely take along while for tem to adapt to the situation. So basically if it's a big loss it's hard to forget but I can easily get over a small one.

[AmaGold70]

There is no gamer that will say they haven’t lost a game at anytime. We have our different staking abilities, I am referring to what you consider your high staking power. Last season was my best season in sport gambling but I had days that i had bitter losses.

If winning is the only  way you forget your loss then that's chasing losses and if you keep chasing losses hoping to win and forget about the previous ones you have lost then you are likely to get addicted to Gambling in a bad way. As a gambler don't make winning your antidote to sadness when ever you loss a game, you should be in control of your emotions. I forget about my loss and move on from that moment as quickly as possible because there's no point holding on to a moment of loss, no body enjoys losing and in gambling we should understand that winning and losing is very common and we must always prepare our minds for the outcome of any game we play.

[Julien_Olynpic]

It is true that a loss is hard to forget. However, it is much harder to forget disappointment in a strategy, in my opinion. So let me explain what I mean. There are two types of loss: the one that your game strategy allows for, and the one that goes beyond it. The first type of loss should not worry you, because it is taken into account in the strategy and the game system and should be compensated by profit. But the second type of loss is not compensated by anything. And this is a loss that indicates the failure of the entire strategy or part of it. Or some element of the game system. Of course, this is hard for an adequate player to forget. Here, something needs to be changed, not forgotten.

People whose goal is to profit from gambling will find it difficult to forget their losses, whether large or small. The desire to chase victory, hoping to reverse the situation by achieving a win that can cover all their losses, will constantly be present in their minds, making them unable to break free from gambling. In other words, such people are already addicted to gambling. That's why we must think positively, such as not gambling for profit but simply for fun. Although winning is part of the fun, it's not recommended to place high expectations on winning.
Also, when gambling, we should only deposit an amount we can afford. This way, if the money is lost or the gamble ends in a loss, there will be no regrets or thoughts of trying to recoup what was lost. This is more about responsible gambling behavior.

Actually, there's no part of forgetting your losses most of them are the teachers, and become most likely a core memory. Every mistake we've made on that part will become a lesson to us so we can avoid making the same mistakes again but of course depends on the person if they will take this as a serious matter because even though we lose a lot of times but we commit with the same problem we are just waiting our money and effort from getting nothing.

Not every loss teaches you something there are many similar types of losses that just happen, and there’s no way to avoid them. But I think such losses are even easier to forget. That’s why there’s no need to try to learn a lesson from every single defeat, these kinds of losses have happened and will continue to happen. Our task is simply to make sure there are as few of them as possible. And the main goal is to calculate the bet in such a way that these losses don’t affect you financially or emotionally.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

There’s only one loss I can’t forget, the 0.5btc Aside from that, it’s not that I forget my losses quickly, I just don’t care much about them. I don’t dwell on previous losses before playing because I need to play with a fresh mindset, with the intent to win, not to recover what I lost. That’s how it should be. If you keep thinking about your past losses, you’re only stressing yourself out while playing. It's not good to think about it coz it can only affect your session or the way you play.

Losing 0.5 BTC in the past may seem insignificant, but looking at the current price, everyone is stunned... yet it remains a beautiful memory of the past when you once gambled in large amounts in the form of BTC. 

This might be the exact reason buddy regrets losing that amount to gambling, when he compares it to today's price it means a lot, but the fact remains that even if he did not loose it to gambling at that time, he might have still spent it on something else since he had no plans of holding it, so whichever way, it would still be gone. It is a memory, one that is not easily forgotten, I would do the same if I were him.

 

Why keep dwelling on past losses that no longer matter? Clearly, stress will arise if you keep thinking about it, so it's better to let it go and play again with money you're willing to lose.

It doesn't really mean he is dwelling on his losses, it only means he cannot forget it in a hurry judging from his tone of speech, there are some events that leaves an indelible mark on you and not that you are dwelling on it, but it comes to mind anytime you're dealing with something related to it, just like selling off my BTC in 2014 out of fear and mistaking bitcoin as PONZI, I do not dwell in it again, but anytime I see bitcoin price surge, I imagine the kind of riches my BTC could've brought me if I kept it and it fuels my desire to keep holding my current portfolio.

Small losses are quickly forgotten, but it's difficult to forget a big loss. It usually takes a long time from me to get over them, but eventually i have to get over them and move on.

Often, when I suffer a big loss, I try to stop and step back for a while to forget what happened. I become psychologically exhausted and nervous, so it's best to stop until I get out of this state. After a period of time taking from days to weeks, I can return to my normal activities.

I also had big losses and took more time to restore, for example, it could be several months, because I thought that I did wrong and whether I should play gambling at all. After that, I did not refuse them, only now I play small amounts and instantly understand when it is necessary to stop, because I do not want to repeat that way again with the stop of the game for months. In general, you just need to be able to keep yourself in condition so as not to relax at 100% otherwise we can make a rush in ourselves and lose everything without a trace.
