WHY GAMBLERS KEEP CHASING LOSSES.

[Derekfunds]

Chasing lost is like chasing shadows and dreaming thing that isn't possible, however as a gambler you should be prepared to lose because it's inevitable and can't be avoided, having a mindset of winning back every accumulated lost is simply putting yourself in more captivity because the more you strive getting it back the more you keep losing endlessly.

Furthermore, am not new in the system perhaps have seen several advoke caused by lost chasing over the years so as a players that just want to stay saved in each of his gaming streak should learn to let go of his lost and most importantly avoid gambling for any other reason apart from fun.

What I think is that we are all responsible for our actions, we are adults and each person is capable of spending their money as they wish. Here, good advice is shown and given, enough so that someone doesn't lose control and lose money unnecessarily, but if the player doesn't want to apply it because they think they are right, then we have to let them be; at some point they will want to learn.

Yes it is true, everyone is responsible for there actions and we are all entitled to make our own decisions so whatever the outcome maybe we are to face it on our own. We can only advise people on how they should spend or throw money but it is left for them to do whatever they feel is right for them like wise when the consequences for there wrong decision comes they will have to face the mess alone.

That is correct but the fact that everyone is responsible on the decision they take or action they take doesn't mean we should not say something first, sometimes a word can save a lot beyond we can even imagine because someone maybe confused and contemplating on what to do but at same time waiting for  a word of advice or suggestion and if these words are not been delivered it can result to a huge loss or damage but if you have advised and the person refused then the best thing will be to let them be.

The utmost respect to maturity is respecting the autonomy in managing individual assets. The heart of a person should not be clouded with some kind of a false notion of righteousness to make him change. Loss of materials might be a price worth making to get a lesson out of life. Let this process of nature train their minds. We must wait and watch them go about and find their own version of the truth.

There is no doubt about it , in the end it is a decision that we make , we know that going in search of recovering what we lose is not something that is very well thought out and it doesn't turn out well , it is a bad decision, it is something that must be corrected , maybe many will experience it , and until it is learned it should not be done , Sometimes you have to go Through these things in order to learn.

Well the truth is that sometimes it does turn out well and gamblers actually does manage to recover their losses but another truth is that this happens only on rare occasions alone, in fact the chances of success in such a chase is very slim and mostly lands gamblers in deep shit, so it wouldn’t be entirely true to say it doesn’t always turn out well. But yeah, it’s truly a bad decision, one every gambler should avoid if they’re to avoid more losses.

And when players chase losses, sometimes we see some players who go into the casino and keep hitting it, but we don't know what the financial capacity of those players is, so in this aspect we must be a little more aware, sometimes it's not chasing losses , sometimes it's just entertainment, and whoever goes to the casino to try to recover what they have already lost is doing things very wrong.

This is a natural condition, every one faces it, it's not that one will just stay and chase losses, it's the next move your brain will want to do as a human, hoping that you get what is lost.

But some Times you have to go against the brain, and that is discipline, even when it's seems right to the brain, it might not be naturally, so your advice should rather be given in a considerate manner.

​Well that's right. The human mind or let me call it emotions at times is triggered by the fact of believing that the impossible can be possible. And as a gambler while that win it back method may have worked for most folks it doesn't always happen that way. Because at times some gamblers might just feel like trying one more time if they could win back their money, which is wrong.​Maybe by luck they actually do Most of them immediately withdraw from gambling for that day But then when the luck doesn't work and you then lose the part of desperation will definitely come out. And when that happens it will lead to the gambler taking risks and making irrational decisions and at the end of the day, addiction starts.

​So to me that's definitely a wrong move. Because basically a responsible gambler should know how to calculate his or her risk to know when to stop gambling especially trying to win back your losses. So yeah that's all for me folks...

It's hard bro haha, it's really hard to let go of money that has been lost when a gambler has been on the wrong track from the start and in most cases usually the amount they lose even continues to increase and the pursuit of losses is increasingly aggressive, in the end like what you said above where they have to go through bad things first to finally realize all their mistakes, I understand that it is a difficult situation but letting go of money that has been lost is also a very difficult mentality to have for gamblers who have been wrong from the start in understanding gambling, the point is that they must first fall down because as the saying goes that the best teacher is experience itself.

‎I agree with this point because chasing losses is rarely about logic. This often happens especially when someone loses money they can't afford to lose( just because they don't have limits) then they will keep trying their possible means to recover it back. That alone makes them to  gamble with more money or take more risks they normally would avoid. It's better to accept your faith when loses happens, because that alone can protect you from making wrong decisions. Knowing when to stop is not weakness, it is discipline.

Acceptance of faith is the best thing to do when ever anyone loses beyond his expectations and limits in gambling, this is because when ever you chase winning in a bid to recover what you have lost while gambling you are only exposing yourself more to become vulnerable to loses. Accepting that money that has been lost in gambling can't be gotten back is the antidote to losing big and regretting later.


When ever you accept your faith in gambling you become content and gamble within your means. Knowing that when it comes to gambling there are only two options which is lose and winnings so before coming to gamble it's expected that you should come to terms with these realities.

The only way a gambler can stop chasing after loss is by gambling with an amount they can afford to lose. It is using money that they can spare to gamble is mostly one factor that push gambler into chasing after losses with the mindset of wanting to win back what they have lost.
It will be very hard for a student that uses his school fees or a tenant that uses his house rent to gamble after losing it , For them to accept it as there faith. They will do everything they can to see if they will get the money back.

Some people have already tested it and experienced it themselves and yet they don't want to learn from it to end chasing losses they still have the hope and feeling that there is a chance of them winning back this money that has been lost while gambling and the ones which were also sacrificed while trying to revenge those first lost, they always have hope that they will recover it eventually, which is why they don't ever see it as something wrong to chase after losses.

There are some gamblers who chase losses and get very excited even after a small loss. Some of them think that they will recover their losses at the time they lose. This kind of effort gamblers suffer more losses. When a gambler loses, there is no more logic in him, but he tries to gamble with emotions. At some point, when the number of losses increases, he starts making more mistakes. That is why every gambler should accept his losses and set a limit for himself. If the gambler can accept his losses after a loss, then the possibility of facing losses will be reduced to a great extent.
