Have you ever lost big and thought about quitting betting?

[Viscore]

We’ve probably all been there, that one painful loss that makes you want to quit betting completely. it could be a parlay that missed by just one leg, or a game that turned around in the last seconds. For me, the biggest hit I ever took was around $1000 on a single night. i chased my losses thinking I could recover it fast, but that only made things worse.

It’s that moment when you just stare at the screen, frustrated, thinking, “why am I even doing this?” eventually, I had to step back and cool off for a few days before betting again. How about you guys? What’s the biggest amount you’ve ever lost that made you seriously consider quitting? And did you actually stop, or just kept going after the break?

Chasing your winnings or losses in gambling will only leave you drained, frustrated, and indebted at the end if care is not taken, gambling have alot to do with decipline and acceptance of the fact that we are only gambling for the fun and no a way to make money fast.

Gambling money s fast come and fast speeding, which means that the way you expect to hit a jackpot will be the way the casino/book maker's expect to get money off you as a gambler which is why you often time lose more than you win sincw gambling platform need money to keep running.

I remember when i dont have that fundamental understanding about gambling at that i end up losing almost everything, Chasing my loses, but now everything is under control with my right knowledge and limits control.

Gambling should always be purely for fun, with no thought of winning. If someone wants to make a fortune through gambling, that's a bad plan. It's not the place to set goals and achieve them, because gambling is like sailing on a stormy sea that decides where your boat will float. Trading, investing, and business are all pursuits that can be developed for wealth, but gambling is entertainment and nothing more.
You can't be sure that once a gambler starts playing, they'll definitely improve their financial situation.

[Ruttoshi]

This has happened to me several times, after a big loss, I will say to myself enough of all these losses and disappointments, I am done with gambling. After a week or two, I find myself gambling again. I only plan to quit gambling after a big loss. There was a time that I chased my losses for one week but ended up losing more.

However, all that's over now because I have a gambling budget which I stick to. I don't refill it till my next pay day if I exhaust it before time. I set a time limit in order to stop gambling at the right time.

[Vaculin]

Many times, but I only quit temporarily. I broke my promise a lot too, so I don’t really believe anymore when someone says they’ll quit. It’s usually just because they’re affected by their situation but eventually they realize they really love gambling. Maybe they just need to learn from their mistakes and try to be more careful next time, so it won’t end up the same way ( gambling recklessly again).

[Text]

I’ve felt this same kind of sting before there was a time I lost almost $600 in one day mostly because I got too confident after a few wins and thought I was on a roll when that streak ended it hit hard for a while I really thought about quitting completely but after cooling off I realised I was betting with emotions instead of logic now I set strict limits and treat it more like entertainment not a way to earn. I still play sometimes but with way smaller stakes and a clearer head.

[Russlenat]

I can compare it to when I get too drunk and end up throwing up badly. I’d promise myself not to drink again, but a few days later, I’m back drinking the same liquor. So yeah, the decisions we make when we’re feeling down aren’t always serious. Like they say, don’t make decisions when you’re too happy or too sad as those moments usually lead to bad choices.

[viljy]

Has this ever happened to me? Yes, and repeatedly. Sometimes I just curse the football teams and stop betting for a month or even longer. It was the same with gambling. But now I don't feel such strong emotions anymore. I'm just taking a long break. Well, what else can you do? This is the only way in this situation. If you try to recoup and return the money, then most likely the situation will only worsen and the losses will be even greater.

[Ishicryptic]

This is normal for most gamblers, when they lose huge amount of money they will be so frustrated that they will say it is over with gambling but after sometime they will get over the lose and continue gambling again. But it is not every gambler that falls into this category, the ones that gambles with amount that they can afford to loose doesn't experience these quit feelings. I no longer feel like quiting when I lose everything because the amount that use to gamble is not what I can worry about losing. Gamblers should remove greed and desperation to win, it mostly don't end well for them, better to use small amounts and worry less about losing.

[mak013]

When i started betting it was often situation. I`ve catch lose streak and thought that it is to silly to try to get profit from gambling, but i bet again and again and got first win, second win, win streak. And thoughts about quit were forgotten. It repeated rather often for first few months. But all these months i`ve got profit, so after it, i stopped thinking about quit betting.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, I think I have had such regrets and thought of quitting at the early stage of my gambling when every lose is usually very annoying to me, as at then I never easily accept losses but know that I feel very much comfortable with gambling and not putting so much hope in it, I have not thought of quitting despite having many big losses. I could just feel bad but so hurting.

[Outhue]

I've lost big in many things and I've never lost big in gambling, losing big in investments for example is something that I have experienced and it hurts l, at first I quitted but later i thought to myself that who  dares give up on investing? I summoned my courage and stood up again, you fail only if you stop trying.

Gambling is different, if you lose a lot of money and you get mad about it you can quit for a while, but when coming back ask yourself what you did wrong, the only way such thing can happen to any gambler is risking too much, if you don't risk too much how are you going to lose so much? Prevention is better in gambling, avoid risking high amount of money and focus more on disciplinary habit, gambling is too uncertainty, even hope is hopeless in gambling, protection of your hard earned money is important.

It seems to me that such thoughts are only possible if you allow yourself to bet big. As you said, on the same evening you want to win back or just keep playing, making large bets and then trying to recover right after a loss. But if you bet with a fixed amount that feels comfortable for you, I think you won’t have thoughts about quitting. If you divide your bankroll into equal bets and you’re a good gambler, your losses and wins will at least alternate. That will help keep your bankroll at a proper level. The most important thing is to avoid large bets or all-in situations, otherwise after every big loss you’ll start thinking about quitting gambling.

[joeperry]

Personally around $300-500 in one sitting, but I started from around $80 in my wallet. Most of the time when I'm winning, instead of withdrawing it I would allocate around $100 to make profit out of it but sometimes I'm getting too greedy and lost it all. And this are the times I'm questioning myself and consider quit betting as if I won't be able to control my self and my desire to have more, I will just lose everything. After this losses, I took a break around 2-3 weeks and I realize that I can survive without it.

Right now I only play casually whenever I have some extra money.

Not in a single bet but in a many single bets and within 2 or 3 weeks, I lost $2500. I have been losing before this time but this was where my gambling addiction story was ending because it really affected me and I know I have to quit gambling. I quit gambling but started to gamble again exactly after 1 year but I use only little amount of money to gamble and I do not gamble frequently.

‎I agree with in that. Gambling is not a good way to make money rather it should be played just for fun. Once you are finding every possible means to profit from it you are already setting yourself up for disappointment.You don’t control the outcome, luck does. For me I think is better to focus more on investment where your decision and skills matter more because gambling is for fun not to build financial goals.

Yeah it happen to me and I think to lots of gamblers here. I find this a natural reaction when losing since frustration come up and we think that provably won't lose those huge amount of money if we just try to control our selves.

Quitting may come up on our mind at that time since we also provably think or have a thought that what if we quit? for sure we won't experience such heavy losses again. But after few days once we see our friends gamble and also we see some nice promotions or tournaments offered by the casino we usually play, here we are came back and for get about those thoughts we made for past few days.

Lol... After a big loss you will just feel like throwing everything away and quiting everything but somehow the urge of you wanting to go back again is what drags you back again with your mind telling you lies that when next you go back to the game might be your next come back to they are all lies like I said because it is just the emotional part of you that is giving you such feeling.

But you are supposed to do is to have a clear budget and hold on it very well without derailing because derailment does not cause anything but lost of money and lost of mind. My advise is for one to become discipline, take manageable risks, avoid overzealousness or chase of money. Gambling is meant for fun and it will be highly appreciated if you try your best to maintain it as that else, you will have yourself to be blamed at the end of everything.

[Yablee0]

For me have never experienced a big lost that makes me wanna quite gambling but their are some times I really felt bad because I feIt losing more money than gaining.

One crazy thing about this gambling stuff is that the more you lose the more you become more stick to it, because you will be feeling more cheated like how can I just walk away when I am losing more, so it makes you keep chasing your lose and that's normally what instigate addiction in gambling at the first point.

My advice, when having significant lost In your betting streak is better you take a pause for some time maybe to cool off your self and hopping to do better when next you stake.

I think people who have gambled have experienced it because they must have also felt addicted and there can be thoughts like this, always wanting to quit after a big defeat befalls him, but a few days later saw a friend win big at gambling and thought to try again and hope to win again because every gambler must have experienced a victory that he considered big and was very happy in the past.

I have also done the same, but don't want to mention it because I don't want to relive it, it has been an important lesson in my gambling journey and because of that I can also come to this point to gamble better and not easily spend more money on gambling if it has exceeded the limit set on gambling settings, I hope everyone can also learn from the mistakes they have made in gambling.
