Have you ever lost big and thought about quitting betting?

[bhadz]

If gamblers lost they must stop for breaks. Gambling without breaks is a sign they can be addicted. If they do not take a break they will lose more money. If they lost their budget they must stop. If they lose control they can become addicted so it is important the stop.

And everyone needs to take a break when it seems too emotional as well. Because many of us have gambled a lot and then thought of stopping which is the right decision when we're experiencing losing streaks. Losing big or small, they're the same for the most of us because it brings frustration and we can't accept that lightly. What we want to do is to continue and recover those but, that's not the right thing to do when we get through with that. That's why it's best to know when to stop, it could be quitting permanently or just a stop over.

People who gamble because they are emotional will not win. If people do not take breaks they can become addicts. If they lost money they can be frustrated so they can play more. If they are not comfortable they should stop for a break. If they are going over their budget to gamble they must stop because these can be sign they are addicted.

I agree, they're not going to win if they are allowing their emotions to control them. If gamblers don't stop gambling when they're already in a bad situation like losing a lot, it's true that they might become addicted to it. What priority will they have is to first recover the losses they have made. And when they're done with that, the second thought is on the potential profit that they'll get if they continue to do it. But all are wishful thinking and not going to go along according to the plan. Just when we're exhausted, it's best to quit on that day and look forward to another day.

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).

First of all, you can't really judge others based on your own experience or decisions, just because you find it hard to quit when you plan to doesn't mean that's going to be the same with others as well. Some people really quit after they said that they are going to do so. You just need to exercise more self control and cut out those things that trigger you back to gambling. Quitting is actually very possible

I haven't lost very large sums betting, especially at the casino. I remember losing about the same amount as a month's income. But I've never had any large losses because I'm a fairly cautious person. Still, any loss, especially even a small one, is unpleasant. What thoughts do losses prompt me to? Since my losses were always small, they mostly prompted reflection. Yes, sometimes I quit gambling long before, but mostly it was time spent trying to figure out what I'd done wrong. Time is a universal healer, and it can tell you a lot.

[Dickiy]

If I were you, OP, I'd probably be stressed out, haha. Seriously, $1,000 is a huge amount to me; it's my entire salary for four months.
Experiencing it is certainly very painful, but to be honest, the largest loss I've ever experienced has never been more than $50, because I usually gamble with small amounts, like $3.

Essentially, everyone's largest loss is different, but the bottom line is to use this incident as a significant lesson to change ourselves for the better, especially to change our approach to gambling to a more minimal level, because losing large amounts of money is truly painful.

[Smartprofit]

To be honest, I've never lost a lot of money gambling in one go. I'm a very cautious (and even a little paranoid) person. However, I have had long losing streaks, which (I admit) were very draining psychologically. And yes, after such long losing streaks, I was tempted to quit gambling completely.🌚

In general, I believe that losses in life (such as gambling losses) are in some ways more beneficial than victories (such as gambling wins). This is because losses in life force us to reflect, rethink, and reconsider our tactics and strategy. For example, through reflection, I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth getting too fixated on the end result. I've come to the conclusion that in life, you need to focus on the process itself. For example, I now view gambling as training. Through this training, I learn more about myself.

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?

Every bettor cannot but develop such feelings. I have incurred losses, which led me to re-evaluate the whole exercise which was not caused by a single amount of money, but by the realization that the continuous chase after losses will always in the same direction.

The solution was to pull out and put a strict ceiling. Taking wagering as an entertainment and having a fixed budget is much easier than using wagering as a recouping method. I still bet, but only in situations when I have the right attitude, and not when I am emotionally disturbed.

Majority of those individuals fail to give up on betting but learn to have better self-control after a huge loss. The lesson usually has a monetary cost, but it will be created to be worth it should more damage be prevented later.

Yes, this is one way for us to control ourselves or minimize losses from gambling games. Of course, there is a feeling of frustration when it is very difficult to win even though we have used all our skills in gambling. Yes, there is no other way than to stop for a moment to refresh our minds, excessive gambling or gambling that is difficult for us to control will bring disasters that are much worse than before. That is why we must control all of this and not exceed what was planned at the beginning, whether it is the budget or anything else.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

There nothing as crazy as chasing losses in gambling, some people that are  inexperienced or perhaps just desperate to win will chase losses until they zero their account which is very crazy bro. It's good that you have became better and refrain from being addicted because I have seen worse cases of people who doesn't mind  emptying their account for gambling and they end up regretting their actions.

Of course chasing after loses doesn't seem right to me since luck is in charge of everything, because it can decide not to be by your side for like 2-3 months or More which gamblers may not know that luck is still very far from them. For these reason it's advised for all gamblers to stop When they discover that they are in a losing streak and then take a dip break maybe for 2-3 weeks so that to skip some weeks of failure. I know this approach may be difficult for most gamblers as they will feel that thier day of wining is just around the corner.

Should we argue this? I don't think we should because from my experience in gambling, there's never been any time where I gambled for straight a week talk more of a month, without being luck. If am betting on sports, there's no week I don't week, even when I was serious in betting every day and now that I don't bet that frequently, but when I starts betting, I win and I lose, both are mixed. I can't stay a week without winning, despite the losses that can come too.

Quite the opposite. You need to stop when you win big, because after big wins, you always feel like betting more and think you can do anything now.
You will need money later for new bets and you definitely need to spend some on yourself to stay motivated to continue.
Before getting into gambling or trading, you need to calculate the risks and say goodbye to the money that will be in the game and the task of the trader or gambler is to calculate the risks so as not to lose the initial deposit right away.
Losing is part of the game, and you can't always win. On the contrary, you must always understand the risks involved and that with every bet, the chances of losing money are high, and you must be prepared for losses.

If you have indeed lost your entire initial deposit, then it is clear that you should not take out a loan, but rather take a break to analyze the situation.

It show that you don't gamble like others gamblers that made gambling an investment place to turn to wealthy men. When you use what you can afford to loose in gambling, I don't think you will get to a point for you to think of quitting the gambling, because you are using amount of money that will not make you feel bad.

No doubt that you are an experience gambler, because quite for little time to research or verify what is making you not to be consistent in winning, it will help you to discover what will position you to start making your winning more greater than losing.

[Boy_chef]

Losing in bet or gambling to say as been made constant and if you have been gambling for some times now, you will get to understand that losing has been common to most of us and that is just the principle. But the most thing I have to think of, is how most persons will lose and never thought of giving there selves some break. Well I think the way to handle gambling responsibly, is to give a little break or quit the game when you discover that the losing is still coming frequently. Most persons still can't quit due to greed, if they want it at all cost, then it will be difficult to do so.

I don't understand why I have to stop, whether I win or lose. If I conceive of this type of activity as a game, as a pastime and I put in the money that I can afford to lose, I don't have to stop either when I win or when I lose, because I play to have fun without losing too much money. It's a different matter if one considers it a source of income and that's the problem, not stopping. The problem is seeing it as a way to make money.

There may be a simple reason for this too and that is our human instinct, meaning that since we are human we can lose our emotional control at any time even if we try to control it and in all those cases when people gamble they sometimes make irresponsible decisions and that is when they basically face big losses.

But if you are doing this, we should all remember this because if we make a wrong decision once or twice and face loss, it may be possible to recover from it, but if this happens to us constantly, we will become addicted to it and as a result, we will fall behind in all stages of life, starting from financial crisis.

It's very simple. If you don't stop playing when you keep losing, you'll probably run out of money, but you'll still want to keep playing.
When after big wins, you don't withdraw your money and spend it on yourself, but continue to play, not cause you want to earn money, but simply because you enjoy playing or because you can't stop, then there is a 99% chance that you will also lose all the money you have allocated for the game.
Moreover, it is much more difficult to stop when you are winning, because it seems that now you can do anything, if you managed to make money on a few matches, then you will manage to do it again, but in reality it may have been a coincidence and you should have taken advantage of your luck and taken the money off the table.

I've always said it ad nauseum, the problem of dealing with loss, in my opinion, comes from the fact that you've bet or gambled too much money. The fundamental problem is not the loss, the problem is why did you gamble money that you couldn't gamble? That is the question we must try to answer, because it is called gambling, not gambling.

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?

When I finished school, it only took me losing a little over $30 to stop betting. But there was one caveat: I bought paid predictions, and they came true once or twice, but the third time they didn't, and I lost everything I had won before. At that moment, I was disappointed not so much in the game against the bookmaker as in the paid prediction services. Since then, I have never bought paid predictions again, no matter how much money their authors promised me. But now, the popularity of paid predictions seems to have waned, and new players are less likely to fall for them, although they are not going to disappear completely.

Most people lose alot in betting because yes the chance of winning is very small and they even promise their selves not to bet again because of losing so much but still yet sleep back to betting why

Those who keep coming back to betting even though they have promised themselves not to bet again are simply nothing but pure addicts.... Many of them keep convincing themselves that they may very well win it big next time. They keep cycling in this cycle of false hope coz they are yet to even grasp the very understanding that gambling isn't always profit assured, that is why it is best that folks only gamble with that amount that they can afford to loose, so that when the losses are encountered, you wouldn't be cut unaware's.

The main reason why people lose a lot in betting is two important points, one is greed and the other is need. Although many people are familiar with the betting mechanism, they put all their capital into betting in order to make a lot of profit in a short time, hoping that they might win the bet while losing it all. On the other hand, people sometimes look at betting as a job, while this is not the case. Betting is more of a hobby. If you look closely, most people who become addicted to betting are already poor people with short-sighted thinking, and they always think that if they get money one day, they will bet again to compensate for past losses.

I believe this is what we call risk, and in risking of any form of gambling, it can be a risk that can lead one to succeed and the one that can lead to excessive lose. Well for me I support the act you made clarification to, such as that for greed. This is one thing that mad most gamblers to fall into it very deep. As we all know, most gamblers that are addicted to it is due to the fact that they want it at all cost no matter what, even though they knew that the system is designed in a way to lose at many times, they still keep trying having the faith that it will definitely be for them.

I have never lost a huge amount of money gambling but I consider taking a break every time I lose. I keep playing when I still have some bankroll left. In the early stages of gambling when I had not learned to set aside funds for gambling, I lost about $300 in one day. I was so shocked that I was afraid to gamble again in the future because of the possibility of losing more. But I learned to be careful with gambling after that big loss. Gambling is for entertainment and strictly avoid going over your bankroll.
