Have you ever lost big and thought about quitting betting?

[GiftedMAN]

Yes, it happened to me several times. Nowadays i’ve been gambling with small amounts for fun. Because when I bet larger amounts, my stress goes up and I actually enjoy it less.
I think this is the right approach anyway. im sure it will still make you happy when you win 

The pain of losing is more when you gamble with an amount that you can't afford to lose you will make a decision to stop but when you gamble with a little amount it gives you more peace, less stress and the fun will make you enjoy your games. Those who have not experienced big losses may not understand the best decision you made until they experience a big loss.

... 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?

I lost $1000 in savings, it took me six months to save, and this hurt, and what hurt more is the expectation I was 100% sure that I could win in the cock that I bet, but gambling is full of uncertainty.
After that, it’s a whole month of repenting and anxiety, not that I'm glad it happened later on. Still, I learned a big lesson: in gambling, you cannot be so sure; even if the probable outcome is in your favour, some things happen beyond your expectations.

honestly that is a tough experience but a powerful lesson too!! losing money you worked hard for really does hits different it makes you realize how unpredictable gambling truly is like no matter how sure we feel about a bet there is always a chance it goes the other way. what matters most is learning from it and knowing when to step back because sometimes a loss like that is what helps us become more disciplined and careful the next time we want to go into it

Even with not so big, it's part of our language that we're going to say that "I'm quitting tonight". But what happens next? I guess that all of us have an idea that it's not happening anytime sooner because it's all words and an expression whenever we're disappointed with the results of our bets. It's becoming a norm and we don't mind doing that if we're serious of doing it. And for the actual huge losses, if it has come to the point that they've lost everything and they cannot move on, the only way for them to move on is to accept losses and do the thing of real quitting.

[MorganaX]

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?

This has certainly happened to some of us, and often, but it's not just that. All of this happens because our intentions when we start gambling are wrong, our focus is different, we have expectations that shouldn't be there, we hope to win but are unwilling to accept defeat. Of course, this is a complicated situation. Defeat is inevitable, but victory is very difficult, and that's what makes you disappointed. The only key is to lower your expectations and view victory as merely a bonus.

One problem with many gamblers in today's life, is how they took gambling to be, both externally and internally, the mindset and also the mentality of the start they may possess, is what has been affecting them for a long run now. It depends your ambition on how you took gambling to be. So many had a higher expectation for gambling and the rewards they wanted to have at all cost, so when it didn't come, they always hope it will definitely come, so they keep striving hard as days go buy. Disappointment will always be the later end, but addicted ones will still grip it.
The most thing to do away with is our expectations on how we see gambling, most times our expectations will never come, they are only a thought that have no life.

I once lost $300 in just one hour in a live match. I chose the lowest odds and thought I would win 100%. However, the score changed in the final minutes before the match ended. Once a goal was scored, the match ended. I calmed down for a few days and started playing more casually, placing more bets across multiple matches instead of single bets.

It is very unfortunate that the more we think about our losses, the more we feel driven to gamble. The desire for revenge often takes over our minds. Even if we try to quit, the thought of winning back our money pushes us to continue gambling, but the outcome doesn't favor us. Instead of recovering, we usually end up losing even more.

That’s why we need to change this kind of mindset. We must remember that gambling is meant for entertainment, not as a way to multiply our money. Don’t get too attached to it, because it can easily influence our thoughts and eventually change our views.

It's the sad thing that even if we don't want to be too much attached to gambling, we feel that we have to. And once that we're committed because of how much we've lost already, that's the time that we start to make things too serious by gambling more and focusing into recovery. But we know how it ends up, we're losing more money, we're ending up with those terms like quitting but we know that we're not like that we're not going to quit not until we have recovered almost everything. Again, we go back to the reality and we know that it's not going to happen.

[arabspaceship123]

Yeah, it happens to most gamblers at some point, that one loss that stings harder than usual. The key is not chasing it back right away; that’s when bankrolls vanish fast. I usually take a break, review my staking plan, and only return once the mindset is calm again.

How do you reset mentally after a heavy loss?

Gamblers should make rules they do not break. Some gamblers do not take breaks. They chase the loss so lose more. If they take a break to become calm they will know they are making a mistake returning to gamble. If gamblers do not reset after heavy losses they can become addicted.

[Hispo]

I believe pretty much all gamblers have had such experience and meditate on their situation, after losing a significant amount of money to their bad luck. In my personal case, fortunately, I have never been in such situation where I consider to completely quit gambling, I have managed never to chase losses and remain calm after losing money, so I log out and called it a day.

Anyways... It is easier said than done when it is about completely quitting gambling and betting on sports.

I can't recall the last time I lost a game that put me in that mood, but I have been there before, where I even consider leaving betting for some time or other just to clear my head. The worst mistake to make in such a situation is to allow that anger planted by the loss to take advantage of us and trigger us to start chasing losses instead of just closing for the day. The bigger the loss gets, the more angry the bettor will become.

There are so many people that are not real gamblers but can give you advise and tell you how to prevent being addicted to gambling. These people are very good at claiming what they are not and will want to show you every means possible for you to be a good gambler. Being a gambler is not by writing too many words or advising people every single day. Gamblers with adequate experience don't argue too much because they know their time is precious.

Do you understand that gambling is a practical thing, even if I will agree with what made mention of about those that are not gamblers that can give heads up about how people can gamble without going into addiction, If those people exist, they may have gotten an experience or read some book about these things if possible, I do not think that people can just give advise on what they know nothing about, am just trying to be realistic here, a novice counsel about gambling is noticeable no matter how hard such persons tries to cook up some shit, I totally agree with your last paragraph.

“I’m quitting tonight” has almost become part of every gambler’s vocabulary it’s an emotional reaction not a real decision because deep down most people know they’ll return once the disappointment fades the brain starts replaying those near wins the what if moments and suddenly the urge to chase losses comes back stronger than before it’s a dangerous cycle because the more we try to win back what we’ve lost the more trapped we become in the illusion of recovery.

Acceptance is the hardest part gamblers often believe they can control luck if they just try one more time and that’s what keeps them from actually quitting the concept of revenge gambling feeds on frustration and ego we convince ourselves that walking away means defeat when in truth accepting losses is the only real win because it breaks the control that gambling has over our emotions. The only way to truly move on is to detach from the money already lost and treat it as gone forever once we stop viewing gambling as a recovery tool and see it only as temporary entertainment we regain power over it some people manage to set strict limits and stay casual others have to cut ties completely but until that mental shift happens the idea of quitting will always just be words said in the heat of frustration rather than a genuine act of freedom.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think everyone who gambles has likely experienced losses, whether small or large. This is normal and has certainly been experienced by everyone who gambles, including myself. When discussing losses in gambling, there are two different types of people, in terms of their perspectives and mindsets. First, there are those who consider it normal, so they can accept it and don't chase wins. Second, there are those who see it as wrong, so they can't accept it and instead chase wins. Yes, the people who experience major losses are those who can't accept defeat, because this type of person will likely chase wins when they lose in gambling.

There are also players who believe that they can always make a comeback, no matter how big their losses are. They believe that one day they’ll win enough to cover all their previous losses and still have money left. I once had such a situation myself, when I decided to play with my entire deposit. But after that, I just took a short break to gather some money and came back again. Since then, though, I’ve never had the thought to play like that again, because I already know how it ends.

That's not unusual, in my opinion. Of course, among the many people who gamble, we can find different behaviors. One of the behaviors you mentioned is the confidence that they will eventually win, which might cover all their previous losses. If they believe this way, it might be a good thing, because it might encourage them to stop gambling after a loss and come back another day. This is better than continuing to gamble at the same time, even though they've experienced consecutive losses, but not stopping betting—that's bad.

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 losses in gambling is a very fatal mistake and I believe that almost all gamblers who are obsessed with recovering their losses will ultimately suffer even greater losses, I personally have previously experienced a slightly large loss amounting to around $450 in a short time and this was the first time I lost a large amount because at that time I could not control my emotions well when betting so at that time all I thought about was how to cover my losses by increasing the bet amount.

[Peanutswar]

There is part of our life that we includes the regrets because we knew that we can use the funds into other things but we ended up spending to the casino but like others we came up with the casino just we are hoping to win a huge amount there are could be a two types of person right there people want to earn more money because they win already with the casino and they want to chase back their losses but sad reality most of them losses so now its your risk management until when you will play and whats your goal to get entertain or to increase more your losses so choose wisely sometimes big losses makes you realize that you just wasted your money, though its not too late to stop if you think its not already healthy for your part.

It seems an attack to our egos when we thought of that we're going to win but we're not. And so, the losing streak comes and we tell words that are coming out due to our expression and frustration. That's why the quitting, the stopping and resting they all come together and we're saying that but we're not actually doing that, right? If someone really has to quit after a big lost, it's going to take time until we finally recovers. Though this makes a gambler feel bad and always wanting to recover and we can't help if they doesn't stop even after saying such words.

I think most gamblers have experienced loss, feeling the point where they regret the decisions they made after suffering a big defeat. I personally have also experienced this many times. The more I think about it, the more i realize that the main problem is not just about money, but also about mental/psychological issues. This defeat brings feelings of regret, frustration, and makes my chest feel tight. Perhaps because the money used was outside the allocated gambling budget prepared beforehand, the loss becomes even more painful. I’ve considered quitting, but i realize that’s not the only solution, what needs to be done is to manage finances as well as possible, using only money that you’re prepared to lose.

Many gamblers have gone through that emotional rollercoaster after a major loss the moment when you sit there replaying every bet in your head wondering why you didn’t stop earlier it’s not just about losing money it’s about feeling powerless over something you thought you could control that emotional toll is often heavier than the financial one. For someone who manages to walk away calmly after a loss that’s already a huge advantage because most gamblers tend to chase losses out of frustration they think one more spin or one more bet might fix everything but it only deepens the damage controlling emotions after losing is what separates a disciplined player from a compulsive one.

The real danger begins when people use money they can’t afford to lose that’s when guilt and anxiety start creeping in and the regret becomes unbearable having a strict budget makes gambling safer because you set a mental boundary between your everyday life and your betting life when you accept beforehand that the money could vanish you also protect your peace of mind. Quitting completely isn’t always the only solution but self control is if you can maintain discipline stick to a plan and never gamble outside your limit then gambling can remain what it’s meant to be—an occasional form of entertainment not a source of stress or despair.

[Leahized]

In the past I've gone back and forth with betting many times, but nowadays I just try to predict matches and bet when I feel confident. I used to bet much more, but over time I've reduced it until I've become more stable and only bet on two or three football leagues.

I like your betting practice very much. We should stabilize over time. And a very small number of bets should be made, so that the waste of money is somewhat less. I once lost my maximum amount, only to be lured by the bonus. I don't know if everyone is in such a situation. But I think this is the most stupid thing, because completing the bonus requires spending a lot of money. From this I understood that if what is thrown away then one has to control oneself from greed. However, now I have become more focused on slot games than sports batting. But I like it a lot because here you can spend a lot of time, using very little money.
