How do you handle your lost time in gambling.

[Porfirii]

The real problem is not about chasing loses (which is a problem indeed) but the time lost while gambling in general. I don't know if you've thought about it calmly, but the longer you play, the harder it will be to stop or change the habit.

I don't usually need to pause when I see myself in a losing spree because I set up my gambling sessions to be as short as possible, and no longer than strictly necessary to have a little fun from time to time. Not only because of the time lost otherwise, but mainly because of the habit I said.

This has bring me with the questions : how do you handle your lost when gambling?  do you just take a pause knowing that is not your day of celebration or you just keep pushing harder and doubling your stakes maybe you just might be lucky hitting it big at once. So what do you think?

To handle losses is simple but some gamblers find it difficult because they are newbies or because they are addicted so much to gambling. Let me assume that I am earning $90 every week, I can just be using $4 to gamble every week and it will not be more than that.

Do not have more than the small amount of money on your gambling account and be disciplined to the extent that you will not fund your gambling account after you lose the small amount of money on your gambling account that week. It is simple for people that are not addicted.

For me I gamble when I'm free, so there is no lost time that I have to cover just because I gamble. Maybe just a few sleep here and there that I might have lost. Nevertheless, I haven't put gambling as my priority so I guess I'm fine.

But for others it really very bad for them to say missed a important event because they are addicted to gambling. The worst horror stories that I heard from a recovering gambling addict is that during his wife labor, he make a excuse to borrow money from this friend to pay the hospital bills. Nevertheless, this gambler not only not in the hospital for the wife's delivery, but the money that he was loaned was put into gambling.

OP your caption is slightly different from the body of your post. I was even thinking you are talking about time as stated in your caption but the body says losses in gambling. There have already been too many topics on handling losses in gambling and what seems to be a general approach by people is to accept losses as they come since it cannot be avoided. Just gamble with what you will be comfortable losing and remain within that limit, no greed and no regrets. If you maintain that level of discipline, gambling will stop being too painful to you.

Before I gamble, I regard any money I used as money lost already. Using this pattern, I calculate how much I can lose and that is only what I use to gamble. If I lose it, it does not bother me much again because I already made the calculations early and prepared my mind that it can be lost. Chasing loss is not good practice because what makes you lose in the first place can still make you lose more when you chase losses. It is even worse when you change playing pattern without planning.

I handled my losses in gambling like a champ because the amount i always risks is very small that it doesn't bother me, the money I use for gambling is like buying a soda can after a long day farming.
There was a time where I would be sad after losing money and that was because I wasn't ready to lose the money I risked at the time, now I gamble differently risking small amount of money.
Before you gamble always accept that the money you are about to risk on gambling is already lost, if you don't feel right thinking about such then you shouldn't gamble with the money, a amount that you can risk on gambling should also be the amount you are ready to lose.

Ideally, gambling should stop when you're losing, but unfortunately, this often doesn't happen. Instead of stopping, gamblers continue chasing their losses, hoping for a lucky break and a big win to recoup all their losses.

This is what usually happens to me when I lose. Instead of stopping, I keep going, hoping to recover what I've lost. But unfortunately, I lose more and more, and instead of recovering, I suffer even more losses. Therefore, I must stop in such a situation.

I mostly stop after I lose my balance and already lose all of my limit of the week. I will take max $15 to playing once a week, and I will use this limit with 2 step deposit. For the first I will use 50% to deposit and re-deposit the rest if losing the first one. Once it reach the limit, and Im still lose, I will stop the session, this way will help me to control my self to not chase for win after loss.

The best way to handle losses is simply to accept them...one of the main reasons why some people keep.o. losing repeatedly is because they try to avert their losses but this isn't going to make things easier, you are only making things more complicated for yourself...losses are inevitable, its one aspect of gambling that you must learn to accept, trying to elude it only brings you more losses in the long run

[ruykeri]

At first, when I lost, I felt very bad and I would bet more to get back the money I lost. Later, I became addicted and I got into a lot of financial problems. After recovering from that loss, I kept a small part of my income for gambling and did not bet beyond that limit. And the thing is, I do  gamble at all as a form of entertainment. That is why I do not feel so bad even if I lose because it is a part of gambling and on the other hand, if I win, I spend that money on various other types of entertainment.

I don’t have that kind of mentality, celebrating wins on a daily basis if I get lucky. My goal is long term, so I only celebrate when the whole month ends up profitable. Doing it daily is stressful, and it gives you mixed feelings because you start expecting too much from gambling. In reality, if you’re a regular gambler, you’ll have bad days and good days, that’s normal.

So it’s better not to put too much energy into day-to-day results. Just keep it steady, and if your records show you’re in profit after a month, then yeah, maybe treat yourself a bit. That’s how you build a disciplined approach in gambling.

[Kelward]

There's nothing you can do about lost time in gambling, what you can do is find a workable strategy that will guide you against repeating the same mistake if you plan to continue gambling when n the future. The best strategy than I have tried and it's working for me is to have control over my gambling bankroll, your money is actually the only thing that you can have a control over when you gamble. You cannot chase loses if you already determined how much you want to risk in a session. Be disciplined not to exceed the amount that you plan to gamble with and naturally the issue of chasing loses or gambling with your wins cannot occur.

As a gambler I should be able to know when I have reached my limits and my strength stretch hold and stop than to keep pushing myself further to recover what I have already lost while gambling, it shows irresponsible of me to keep gambling after I have incurred several loses and not just that after I have finished what I deposited to site.
Gambling is always fun when you understand when to stop and when to keep chasing losses but then, some gambler doesn't apply responsible practices while gambling which could lead them to many loses at the moment of trying to restore what they havs lost already.

[rdluffy]

Very rarely do I try to recover a lost bet
I think this year I only did that two or three times
But in general, I don't change anything. I don't chase losses and leave it for the next few days to place my bets as normal, following the rounds of the championships I usually bet on

If I have a bad streak, I reduce the bet amount until I have one or two wins

Chasing loss sometimes can be very disastrous and sometimes it can be good and the reasons is that there are times you chase loss you won't get anything back instead you keep losing more and more which can lead to addiction because even if you got bankrup at that instant, the next time you have money you would still go try if you can get back the lost money and sometimes you will still end up losing everything again and that's how it will continue untill it becomes a habit but sometimes when you chase loss, you will get everything back and sometimes even have extra and some people will be wise to say I won't try this, to  this extent next time and they have learnt from that but stopping is a general option and best most times.

On my part, I just follow what our other companions here said, where when we gamble, we should have limits on what we will do in our gambling game in terms
of the money we will use as bets in any casino we play in.

Because if we don't set limits, we might end up chasing our lost amount in gambling without realizing it. But if we practice setting limits in terms of funds, once they are exhausted,
it means we stop and come back another time, that's it. It's good for gamblers to get used to this.

 The first thing I  think any gambler should do before they start gambling, is to decide how much they intent to gamble with. If this is done the feeling or emotions of chasing after losses may not be there.A gambler that uses his or house rent to gamble won't just want to quit, they will try as much as they can to get what they have lost at the end , they will land themselves into a bigger mess. The best solution to this is to only gamble with an amount that we can willingly let go.

[Ruttoshi]

The only solution is to stop gambling and call it a day. As a matter of fact, if I have lost more than my budget for that day, I stop gambling for a week in order for me not to incur more losses. If it happens that I exhausted my gambling budget for the week in a session. I don't gamble till I refill my budget the next week.

Chasing your losses will lead to more losses because the house hedge always win and winning comes by luck.

For me, I think the best approach has been taking a break to restrategize, refocus and concentrate without external influences (tension, pressure,etc) as that has been the reason for more losses than wins for most gamblers.

Do not chase losses,  controlling emotions, knowing when best to stop should be qualities that every gambler should acquire.
This is to make sure the occurrence of addicts is limited and avoid emotional distress and financial challenges.

In fact, those who gamble after losing and then try to recover their losses beyond their ability to lose are essentially gambling irresponsibly and acting stupidly at the same time. This is actually a sign of losing emotional control over oneself, which later gradually leads the gambler to become addicted to gambling.

I always set aside a certain small amount for gambling and if I lose it before the end of that period, I don't gamble again until that period is over. And that's basically how I try to face losses when I gamble, and I think it's possible to lose if you apply it.
