Is it really your money that you lost?

[Furball808]

If you bet a $1 and you win $100 but you lose it all again the next round you bet, is it really your money that you lost even though you just won that $100? More like you lost the potential of having that amount of money which is why it hurts but if we are being honest it should be easy to move on because that money did not exactly come from your own wallet. Do you find yourself harder to move on if you lose money from a huge win even if you just bet only a small amount?

Know that not only one person is gambling, the more you're doing so, the same applies to others as well, some are winning and some are losing, when you win, it eventually turns your money, maybe from the losses on other gamblers or from the casino purse or reserved money, same also applies if we lose all, some are cashing it out on their own winning or taking it from the casino reserve fund depending on the amount won, we can see that most casinos also have money in reserve before operating.

If you gamble with $1 and you used it to win $100, that $100 has become your money because you can decide to withdraw the money. I will not be happy with losing the money at all, but I trust myself because only what I will do if I use $1 to win $100 is to withdraw the money immediately and I will not also think of gambling that week again.

After you have won $100, it is your profit. If you lose them, you have lost your profit, your money. Of course its your money.

You have strange logic. If you receive salary on a bank account, is this your money or money that belong to bank where you have open your account? Do you go to work to earn or make money to be able to return to work again?

Here is another example, you have won a million, then it wont hurt if you just burn those money and throw away, because its not your money but only a potential of having it.

If I use $1 to win $100, I can not lose the $100 on the next round because I will not wager with all the $100. If I do that, it means I don't have a bankroll management and it's a reckless mistake, since I have won the money, it becomes my own and I can withdraw it and use it for some private necessities. The money becomes mine because it's a profit that came from my capital and that's what makes it my money, if lost, I should feel bad since I could have put it into private necessities.

You lost $100. As long as you have won that amount, it belongs to you because you also have the option of withdrawing. OP, I understand that you are trying to give gamblers a reason to move on after losing, which is okay. If you know that you would feel bad after losing an amount, it will be better not to use an amount you cannot afford to lose.

When you win that $100 it becomes your money the moment it’s credited to your balance it doesn’t matter if you only started with a $1 bet because once it’s yours you have full control over it and the loss that comes after is a loss of real value not just potential the pain you feel after losing winnings is natural because mentally we already start counting it as part of our possession.

The reason why losing profit feels worse than losing our initial bet is psychological it’s called the house money effect when people win they start to treat those winnings as extra or expendable so they take bigger risks but the mind quickly adjusts to the higher balance and when it’s gone it feels like a real loss not just missed potential. So yes it is harder to move on when you lose after a big win because you briefly tasted success and your brain already registered that money as yours it’s not strange or illogical it’s human nature the best way to handle it is to withdraw part of your winnings right after a good round this way you can secure some profit and avoid the emotional rollercoaster that comes with losing everything again.

Some persons can move on easily while some can not, being so lucky to make that massive profit with a small amount is something that doesn't happen everyday, therefore it will be very hurtful to lose it again just instantly. I can move on but I won't easily forgive myself for letting such opportunity go in vain. Like someone mentioned, the $100 has already been won and it's rightfully mine, there's a reason to be hurt.

Well personally I cant move on easily by thinking that it just came from $100, I mean you have the opportunity to have a $100 and now it's gone. This is one first things that gets me in my head when I first started gambling and do compulsive decisions as trying to win back my losses. Good thing, right now when it happened I always tell to myself that I made that $100 from my mere $1 and I can do it again and I deposit another small balance maybe $5-10 and if that lose, then it's end game and it actually works for me.

Of course you’ll regret not stopping early so you could’ve cashed out, but that’s a normal experience for us gamblers. And that’s something we should already learn from, because we don’t win all the time. So when that moment comes, we shouldn’t be greedy and keep chasing something bigger. Learn when to cash out and actually enjoy the money you won, because the next time you come back, you might not win again.

If you go back home with $1 you lost nothing, I have invested $5000 in alternative currencies and now I have $3000 left, if I have to move on and sell everything right now I am going home with $3000 and that is a big loss for me, this is what we should call a loss.
People like telling others about some fake loss whereby it is all fake calculations just to make the story more painful to those listening, you lose nothing if you can still go away with your initial.
But what if $1 is a amount that you are willing to lose? Because I don't risk higher amount in gambling and losing $1 is something I can't even call a lose because a dollar is nothing close to a loss for me.

The simple answer is yes, it is your money that you later lost in the second bet after you won it. The practical scenario is as a business man, you bought some goods at a cheaper price like $100 and you sold them and made profit together with capital as $300. At the next market day,you use all the money to buy same goods but at delivery the bus had accident and then the whole of the goods got destroyed, who would you say had the goods and money that went down? Or would you say afterall it was part of the profit I made earlier? So it is same way with the gambling question that you have asked.

but if we are being honest it should be easy to move on because that money did not exactly come from your own wallet. Do you find yourself harder to move on if you lose money from a huge win even if you just bet only a small amount?

Like the kind of story I shared above, it is going to be a negative feeling because you have some regrets like if you didn't rebet or if you withdrew it. So it is still your money and it will not be easy to move on.

[mirakal]

If you try to be realistic, you’ll see that the money you lose is just the bankroll you put up. What you earn during the process are just winnings on paper. If you’re up by a certain amount, that excess isn’t a real win unless you stop. So you can’t count it as winnings and then regret it after.

There’s that line in the song The Gambler - “you don’t count your money while you’re sittin’ at the table.” It basically means it’s not a win unless you end the session. So don’t count it too early.

Before such a situation happens, you need to win a big prize first, but more often it’s the other way around, the player loses and then tries to win back their losses. And if you win $100 from $1, which could be enough to cover your previous losses, but then you start losing again, how would you feel about those losses in that case?

When you win $100 from $1 that money is your earnings. You have earned it by gambling. Although it is not hard-earned money, I think that the gamblers who win are solely earning it. If you win such a huge amount in gambling, then you should understand that you are going to get caught in a trap. If you win $500 at that time, you will want to double that money and gamble more. And this is the specialty of gambling. Winning in gambling is equivalent to being greedy because there are very few gamblers who can stop gambling after winning. If you can stop playing and withdraw your money after winning such a huge amount, then you are a profitable and successful gambler.

Of course whatever you make from betting automatically becomes your money. Take for instance, you place a trade with $1 and you make profits of $100, do you mean it's not your money? It's a result of your hard work and dedication so it's entirely yours.

It was only lost as a result of poor risk management but it does not exclude the fact that it was originally yours. There are different instances that backs this claim, like making profits from a business and not calling it your money? Or working and not collecting salaries? Profits are results of labor.

Do you find yourself harder to move on if you lose money from a huge win even if you just bet only a small amount?

It's a bit more easier depending on the amount used in placing the bet. If it was an amount that would be a bit more considerable to lose, I could quickly move on from that.

Money that you already won is already your money. You have complete possession on it before you bet it again which you can withdraw instead of losing it again.

Do you find yourself harder to move on if you lose money from a huge win even if you just bet only a small amount?

The regret is always there since you already have it before you lost it all but it’s much painful if you will lose huge money 100% from your initial bankroll.

[Pandu Geddon]

When you've already won and continue playing until you lose all your winnings, honestly, it can be very frustrating. What you feel is not just the loss of your initial money, but also the failure to enjoy the money you've actually won. 
It would be better to stop playing and enjoy your winnings first. Start a new game as the next gamble with your initial capital, not with all the winnings you've already gained.

[Bitcoin.com97]

The money won on betting is already your money ,but if you use it to bet another game  and lost is more painful and frustrating because you already have a positive mindset of winning more and if it didn’t go as planned you feel some much regret , so it’s alway adviceable to withdraw it and start afresh, with that the pains won’t be much , or better still you remove your profit and still bet with what you can afford to loss , but some feels they will gain more with betting with there winning and when lost the pain of failure comes in .

[Frankolala]

I wouldn't happy if I lose the $100 that I won with $1, because it's already mine. I do tell gamblers that your profit isn't yours until, you have withdrawn it from your account because the possibility of you gambling with that money is high if you leave it in your casino account. It has happened to me times without numbers.
