How do you handle your lost time in gambling.

[vanesha]

I might feel annoyed and silent, a little regretful but in the end I will accept everything and try to forget it, hoping that tomorrow will be better for betting so that I can be more careful if I make a mistake today, tomorrow I will fix it when I bet again.

I think it's not wasted time, When we play, it's an investment we make in fun and another experience If we lose, then we must learn so as not to fall into the same error If we fall into the error, then we are wasting time because we don't learn In the end, we are the ones who suffer because we lose money.

Losing money at the course of gambling isn’t necessarily suffering or an error because every true gambler should understand that losses are inevitable as far as gambling is concerned and people will always lose, but when we allow ourselves to lose more than we initially planned to or when we allow ourselves or our emotions to push us into chasing those losses, then we can say that’s an error or that we have actually suffered from losses, because at that point we put ourselves in danger and compromise our own safety.

Have be seeing many folks going wild at their lost times striving and trying all they can just to get back what they have already lost regardless the consequences, however in recent time chasing of lost has been a major problem to many gamblers yet we  keep on having higher case of it.

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?

I handle my losses by taking some break and refreshing for sometime, because I'm not a greedy gambler I always gamble with the amount that I can afford to lose because there is no guarantee of winnings in gambling it is always a game that luck plays a significant role in determining the final outcome.

However, any gambler that knows what gambling is all about wouldn't hesitate to call it a day when experiencing losing streak because that's the easiest way to handle losses in gambling.

A good attribute that every gambler must have is the spirit of controlling emotions after loosing, this helps to calm the nerves of the bettor, no one smiles when he/she looses, it hurts and as such the gambler should be able to accept any faith that befalls him during his betting period. Gambling is not a bed full with rossy, there are times you loose and times you win. Your losing might be greater than winning.

As you rightly said, the best remedy and solution for handling losses is taking a break from betting, this refreshes your mind and boast your confidence when next you resume playing. If you keep loosing as a gambler you should know when to stop, I understand that consistency pays and due to that fact, one might keep on playing hoping to win on their next bet. Gambling is just all about luck so when playing you need so much luck before you win. I handle my loss time courageously bearing in mind that gambling comes with losing and winning.

Chasing after your loss is a bad practice and when you embrace that act, it becomes very hard for you to be profitable in gambling. Taking more risk does not necessarily guarantee you to recover your loss, you’re just getting yourself exposed to more losses which may be irrevocable. When you’re having a bad day at gambling, it is better to just take a break and then strategize again because that’s the best way to not chase your loss and can reduce getting obsessed and eventually getting addicted to gambling. Gambling is addictive, don’t allow yourself get entangled in it no matter what.

[Mindyspace]

I don't gamble, but observing those who do, I realize that knowing when to stop makes all the difference. When a person tries to recover impulsively, it usually only makes things worse. I think emotional control is the key point. If you don't have this control, we already know where failure can lead.

Take a break is always the best option when in lose to avoid more losses through gambling impulse snd strong emotion to recover losses.

Gambling more while you are in loss has a high chance to result to more losses because gamblers always consider their previous game  that gives psychological effect to chase loss.

[9ja Amaka]

I gamble in my free time, so there is no need for me to recover the time. It wasn't considered wasted time because it was my free time. However, to anyone who thinks they can get back the time and money lost while they keep chasing the loss is doing more harm to themselves. Only beginners in gambling can act this way; individuals who have been gambling for a long time should know that chasing losses is bad. As for the time, there are more time for me to make money which I wont feel the loss anymore.

[Adams0001]

To me, the only way to handle my lost time in gambling is by going for a break maybe for some weeks. I guess by then the losing streak must have reduced because some losing streak can last for months which gamblers may not know how long it will last so since they are not sure about that they will choose to continue gambling with the hope of wining anytime soon, Not knowing that they still have a very long way to go before they can still locate wining.So the best thing to do when we find ourselves in such situation is to go for a cooling break as we don't know how long the losing streak is going to last.

As a gambler to holding your losing is to go for break and that will make you not to become addicted because some people if they are losing in gambling that is when they will start to bet more because they will try to win next time and most people don't want to lose there money for free they will start to bet more to get there capital back and if you are struggling to get your money back in gambling you'll surly become addicted one day and if you didn't play you won't feel comfortable anymore. If gamblers can be going for break for some months when they lose i think they won't be too much of losing and they won't be too much addicted gamblers in the world.

[Mindyspace]

I wouldn't bet on it, but from the outside, you can even see how this quest to recoup losses can quickly become a problem. I think the wisest thing is to have limits and know when to stop, because when emotions take over, people end up making decisions that only worsen the situation. And in the end, keeping a level head is more important than trying to turn the tables at any cost.

This question has been asked a lot of times in this board, maybe worded slightly differently but still the same thing. To answer your question, it would depend on the gambler, some would keep trying to win until they run out of bankroll. And for some, even when their bankroll is empty, they will deposit more than they have budgeted to.

However, if i have lost a lot of money gambling on a particular day, i simply take a break. I do not deposit extra funds, except it is within my budget. So my strategy is take a break and return a little later.

[Juse14]

We never know when luck will be on our side or when a big win will come our way. However, it's a bad decision to try too many times to chase that big win, because instead of achieving it, we'll only end up facing significant losses we're never prepared to bear. I think one or two losses are enough to confirm that luck isn't on our side.

And even more important than that is how we accept the outcome of each gamble gracefully, especially if it ends in defeat. Don't let the losses we experience lead us to even greater losses. Winning and losing are common and part of the game. The most important thing is how we can enjoy gambling and avoid significant losses. Gambling is for fun, not profit, because the more you chase profit, the greater the losses you'll experience. A reverse theory.

[len01]

For me, I've completely ignored chasing losses and never thought about what I've lost. Although it may seem like I'm throwing money away, it's all worth it because I also derive pleasure from gambling. On the one hand, what I've done is in line with my previous plan, limiting the amount of money I spend. When I lose, I never feel lost because it's a small amount compared to what I have. I also consider winning to be a bonus from gambling, given to us to have a larger budget to bet longer.

This mindset has kept me comfortable and secure with my gambling activities, without worrying about anything.

You don't chase after your losses as a gambler or you would end up swimming in a pool of loss. A responsible gambler should be able to stop when needed. So many people have become addicted through the need to chase after their loss. They get too upset with the casino and claim to be cheated. They have failed to see the fact that they are the ones making the whole case something else. A gambler should be able to take break at times like this. That's why for me, when I want to gamble, I deposit only the amount I'm willing to lose for each round. And when that money is gone I just tell my self that I'm done for that day...

My way of handling gambling loss is one should be realistic about it. Unrealistic expectations is what leads to disappointment and pain when there’s a loss but when the gambler fully knows what is involved a loss would just be part of it. I usually take 1 to 2 weeks breaks from gambling whenever I experience the loss. This gives me time to reset and have a balanced emotions.

The urge of keep pushing harder and doubling your stakes with the hope of hitting the jackpot. Is one of the common mistakes most gamblers make in the gambling industry. When you no longer think straight you kept on pushing trying by all means to hit a nice jackpot during those trial you are going to lose a lot , while finding the jackpot and there are still chances you not hitting it either way so just play safe when you have a bad gambling day you put a pause till your head is back in game .

There is nothing to pursue when I am losing. A few tries will still make sense just trying to cover up the losses I've made. But if it keeps me dropping low and making me lose more money, I'll have to stop at that point and that is what discipline is all about when we gamble. There is nothing to prove to anybody that we're such a high risk taker and we'll continue to gamble even if it's going to cost us more money. What we have to do is to accept the fate we've got and the money that we either lose or win during those times when we gamble.

[Victorybit1]

The best way you can handle lost time is for you to just move on from it, you can do this by keeping yourself busy and engaging in activities keeps your mind occupied. Time is something that cannot be recovered when it is lost, you just have to come to terms with reality and accept the fact that you have lost your time and money, reflecting too much on the past will only get you frustrated and depressed

I don’t know what some gamblers think when they trying to win back their loss. If you are a gambler, always know when you are to stop gambling, if you notice that you already about to exceed your limit, just stop gambling at that moment, trying to win back your loss will end up making you lose the remaining money which you are having with you.

If you gamble and you lose, there is always another time. You don’t have to keep on gambling trying to force yourself to win, you can  just decide to stop gambling, and continue another time, which am sure gradually you will be able to win back your loss.
 
If I notice a frequent loss, then I will just take a break for that time, I know if I continue gambling, I will keep on losing also.

when i lose in gambling the first thing i do is to just stop immediately!! because chasing losses never ends well, fit only creates more problems and deeper losses. taking a break helps me clear my head and accept that it just is not my day. gambling is all about ups and downs so once i see things going against me!! i step back then reset and come back another time with a fresh mind. trying to win it back usually makes the situation worse, so it is better to stay disciplined than emotional

[mindrust]

Doubling down on the losses pretty much means doubling down on the time loss as well. When i notice I have gone too far with my bets, i just take a deep breath and do something else. It gives me pain to stay away but i know for a fact it will be more painful if i don’t stop. Let’s be honest, we can’t gamble 24/7. First of all it is impossible as we will lose our health and second of all like you said, it becomes a time (and money) sink. Most of us have daily duties. Going to work, raising a kid, pay bills etc type of stuff. We need to do these too and if we gamble all the time, it will create a lot of mess. I mean you can get fired for that. Then where will you find the money to play more? Life is all about having a balance. Without it, we tip over.
