Which do you regret losing the most?

[giammangiato]

Yes, there are some who get angry if they don't win something big but they don't chase the money they lost, They assume that their luck is not good today, so it's better to go home. They themselves know that if they gamble too much and something worse can happen in the end but on the other hand there are some gamblers who think that the money they almost won was theirs.

Getting angry when you lose a bet is normal and this can happen to anybody depending on how vital the money you have used to gamble could be to you. Some people can use their last fund with them to try luck in a casino and when they lose the money, it's a normal for them to be angry and hope to have used to money for something else. This is survival and we should not see it as making a big mistake.

Feeling frustrated when you lose is a very normal emotion, no matter how much you lose, it is the sense of loss that has a huge impact on our minds.
I learned how to handle this thing, just yesterday I played some numbers in the lottery, usually in the evening I check the draw, yesterday instead I adopted a different technique, I didn't have the curiosity to see, in my mind I thought how it comes comes, I almost certainly lose, tomorrow we'll see, today I checked and obviously I didn't win anything, but honestly I didn't feel any kind of emotion.
I replayed the same numbers for tomorrow with great peace of mind (we're talking $1).

I like to stake with the amount that I can afford to lose, so even if I lose the bet, I don't feel much regret for my staked amount, I just feel regret for the potential win as well, especially if the amount was big and maybe it was a parlay that other games have played out successfully but one game was bad. I might feel bad about it but I also move on quickly became there are still other games that I can bet on always when ever I want to.

I have the same approach, I only place bets that I can afford to lose, and I get upset only when I run into a series of losses. I never think about the winnings I might get and I do not consider them mine until I actually win. This is relevant for parlays where the potential payout can be quite large, but I see no point in considering that money mine until I win.

It seems we feel the same way: not regretting the loss of money, but regretting the opportunities we had in parlay betting, and usually, it's just one match that I miscalculated, resulting in a loss.

However, in my early stages of gambling, I once regretted missing out on a win. Yes, I did win a huge amount, around $300 on my $10 bankroll. I admit I was greedy at the time, wanting at least $500 before withdrawing. However, it was precisely because of my greed that I ended up losing anything, as I continued gambling until my balance was gone.

WellI everyone has their their point of viewing things some gambler's might be worried about them losing their funds ,some might be worried about losing the potential win.so that's just it every one has different perspectives and personality.but It's certain that your friend mind and focus is on the potential win well to him that's what drives him to keep gambling am sure by now he must have already gotten addicted because his imagination is getting the best of him ,he still doesn't understand what makes up a bet and that is there is no 100% guarantee of You winning it's a two sided coin you either end up losing or winning .so for me gambling  shouldn't be what someone's hopes should be rising about.
Well If I may say if he keeps that up initially speaking he will eventually end up  losing his money because to me him , he isn't playing a game he is fighting a war with the game....

I have this friend who’s a gambler, whenever he goes to the casino and comes back, you’d always hear him say “damn I’ve just lost $200 today” and sometimes he calls a much higher amount. And this is someone I know too well that he doesn’t have such an amount, someone who could even barely afford two square meal a day.
One day out of curiosity, I asked him how he managed to get the huge amount of money that he lost, and it was then I learned that he wasn’t always referring to the initial stake amount but the potential wins. That he’s not always concerned about the initial stake but the potential wins.

Which led me to asking, does anyone also feel this same way? Say in a parlay, one pick resulted to losing a huge amount, which would you regret (the most) losing? The initial stake amount or the potential win?

This is a very interesting topic, because I know a bettor like that. I don't understand why his brain is wired this way, so he considers winnings to be the money he already has in his pocket. But as soon as he sees he's lost, he assumes an unscrupulous bookmaker took that money from his pocket. It's funny and strange. But overall, it's bad, because it's clearly distorted thinking, and it's clear that I should only consider what's in my pocket as my money.

You always disappointed with sum you didn`t win. Especially in parlay - you have just one game to win, you think that it is your money. And, of course, you lose not only $1 bet, but all $100 prize.
I calculate profit/loss once a week, but anyway - if i watch the game, if i see how parlay going on - i begin to feel that it is my money.

They run after that money so much that in the end the real money disappears, It seems as if they have left logic at home and are playing with empty emotions.

exactly some gamblers still have enough control to walk away even if they’re frustrated they just tell themselves it’s not their lucky day and go home before things get worse but others really chase that almost win as if it was guaranteed money. They get so caught up in the excitement that they stop thinking logically instead of accepting the loss they keep pushing until all their real money is gone. It’s really the emotions that take over if you can’t keep a clear head while gambling you’re already at a disadvantage even before the game ends.

Money that is yet to be your own. Why should it even pain you to the point of you having regrets.

Well it is fine if you say you would have done something with the money if you have won it  but going ahead to talk about it frequently and soliloquy over it is a total nono.
For crying out loud it is a game and you stand a 50 50 chance to either win or loose the game. The money is never your until you win and it gets to you.
It is those kind of individuals that go ahead to make promises to others with the hope of winning  and using the money  settle the. Some even go as far as  taking loans because they have hope winning and using the money to settle it. Those are the kind of individuals that misses it all up in life and struggles at the end

Luck by chance, this is what I call any wins in gambling.
When your hands reached the top and you are able to grab something you should run.
Don't think, just quit at moment, that half bread will always be better than none.
I don't care about what could be next, 80% of the time it is losses waiting patiently for you.

I won't even wait for that $10 bankroll to turn into $300, because a $100 means you make 10x of your money, how is that not alot already? It seems to me that gamblers are too greedy, they always capitalise every life problems they have to be solved by winning big money in gambling.

Such gamblers with this mindset will never go far, because even if they get lucky it will look like it's never enough.

This makes sense and I know very well where the guy is coming from, many gamblers are guilty of this and I'm also guilty of it as well but the difference between I and him is that I actually mind about the money I'm staking but I'm money drunk on the potential money I will make from the casino, I can bet less than $1 and bet on 20 games and be expecting $700, I was doing this and I had alot of games that were cut, there are some I could have win but the games are just much and I have to stop the delusional world of gambling I created.

If you dream of making potential win one day your choice of initial stake is very important and if you careless amount you are going to win, your initial stake also matters, you don't have to bet on games and say you don't care about your initial stake unless you're a Pablo with money to dash casino, you have to be ready to gamble what you can afford lose.

He doesn't seem to be particularly bothered. When someone loses their job, they won't spend even their winnings so carelessly. I understand that people with gambling addictions are unable to perceive life's reality the way healthy people do. But by gambling large sums, even when they win, they will eventually be unable to stop, further entangling themselves in their illness and the debts they will soon incur. Teach them to enjoy it, or better yet, improve your skills to become more sought after by employers.

I’m honestly trying to grasp what angle your reply is hitting as it concerns what’s being discussed here. The individual in question (my friend) isn’t actually spending carelessly on gambling (at least not yet), neither is he addicted (at least not yet), and neither is he gambling with large sums. There’s no sign of overspending on gambling yet, the only issue here is his obsession with his potential wins, which usually leads him to feeling terrible about losing the potential wins rather than the initial stake like normal people would. So this isn’t (yet) a case of addiction or irresponsible gambling or spending.

You're right. This is all temporary, as you say, "for now." Everything is yet to come.

This question remind me what derive me when gambling mostly the sports betting, the potential wining,has always serves as key, despite fun it derive me most, because once the potential wining is smaller than my expectations I will have much fun, so applicable to lossing I consider it more compared to the initial stake, I believe what any one will regret when ever a losses occur in gambling as gambler is what he centered it mindset before engagement of the game that will leads to it's regret, for some it could be potential loss while some initial stake.

When betting on sports betting, of course we have to really understand the team we are going to bet on because when we have a good understanding of a team, of course the opportunity to win the bet will be bigger and when you have seen the potential for a small win but you can consider it as a bet for fun, of course you have been very good at managing the bets you will play, but this will be difficult for some people who hope to win the bets they bet on, and the thing I regret most in betting is when you are sure you will be able to win the bet but hesitate to place a bet and when you see the results according to what we have predicted.

Well I think a gambler will say "I just 200 dollars today when he/she is referring to the amount they would have won not the amount from their pocket when it is not with a big stake amount". But if it is a big stake that must have affected their monthly expenses (even) I guess you will hear that amount.
Or collections of one whole month stakings.
This usually happens to clear the air trying to give mostly a non gamblers the advantage of gambling. Funny enough some people on hearing this won't even bother to ask if it's an amount from their bankroll or not.

That's very bad what amaze me mostly is seeing individuals who can't afford the least two square meals gambling irresistibly all driven by potential winnings.sometimes you get carried away by the potential wins but it's more or less something that's not far fetched yet because some potential wins are guaranteed by the initial stake so you need to consider both when  placing bets.

[fredericktaylor]

Nowadays, people are very greedy and lazy. They mainly gamble in the hope of getting rich quick or winning a large amount of money by betting a small amount of money. In fact, the reality is much more difficult. Gambling with excessive greed or hope is not right at all. This can increase the risk of losing money many times over. I think losing real money is painful, but dreaming of winning a large amount of money by betting a small amount of money is even more painful when it does not come true in reality.

Is it really about having different point of view? Because there are no gamblers who don't worry about the price they pay in gambling even addicted ones.
In as much as a gambler worries about the potential win, it is not that they don't worry about lost amount, they do mostly when it has affected their plan(even the addicts). Somehow psychologically, it seems a gambler pays attention to potential wins just to comfort themselves not minding the lost amount which might be small or big and this didn't stop the pain of losing big amount..
Also there are no gambler who is not driven by potential win, however some are driven away by that giving it a different response altogether like get rich quick kind of a mindset or addiction..

I have also seen some people who used to think like this. I have seen them lose the most. Those who have high expectations in gambling tend to think like this. Thinking about winning amounts before winning and considering them as their own can only be the work of an addicted gambler. It can also be the case that someone tries to convince himself that he is losing a lot in gambling, so he should stop there, otherwise he will keep losing like this. But no matter what the reason, I consider those who do this to be crazy.

When you run into series of losses, what steps do you usually take? Do you continue to deposit and gamble or you stop gambling for sometime to check if there is something you are not doing correctly or simply change games that you play? This question is very important because every one goes through period of serious losses and how we handle it matters a lot. It is not enough to get angry, because you will still forget those anger and come back to gambling when you are done getting angry. Hence, there should be a well defined approach you should use to handle cases of losses.

it’s not really about addiction or spending big amounts yet, it’s more about the mindset he has when he plays. Some people get too attached to what could have been & that’s what affects them emotionally. He’s not losing control or throwing money around but the way he reacts to those potential wins can still mess with his mood & decision making. It’s not dangerous for now but if he doesn’t learn to manage that mindset it could lead to problems later sometimes it’s not the money that’s the issue, it’s how the person thinks while gambling.
