WHY GAMBLERS KEEP CHASING LOSSES.

[Hatchy]

According to research, chasing losses is actually more of a psychological matter, than it is, a logical one. Apparently, when you lose money, your brain triggers a so- called ' recovery mode' that makes you want to get/ win it back, just cause you don't want the day to end in the negative. It becomes less about the game and more about the chase. At that moment your ego's trying to fix the loss. This might look like a big motivator as the individual is simply refusing to give up, but, it usually almost always amounts to bigger loss, desperate moves/ decision, and more losses. Research shows that most addiction cases start from just one bad day of loss that was tried to be fixed/ repaired, instead of being accepted.

It's depends on your psychological strength. Basically we are all built in a way to react emotionally to things like this. And since we are risking money it hurts so bad that you want to get every penny back. Unfortunately you realise that the more you try, the more losses we begin to add up. Chasing after losses most time is inevitable, but as a gambler who wishes to stay long enough in the space, you should try to control yourself most of the time.. like I usually say, the best method to control yourself from gambling is through your deposit amount. Don't put in a load off money on your casino account, only put in the amount you wish to lose for that session and once it's exhausted, you call it a day..

It is very difficult to see someone who is chasing losses not losing again due to the emotions they attached to it and as you know gamblers who experienced losses have the chances of losing more if they continue gambling without accepting defeat. If you are losing in gambling instead of trying more luck when nothing is working you should just take a break and leave you can continue later you don't chase losses and hope to win because the more you plan to win the more the house will take more from you.

Chasing loses can cause a big problem for a gambler that has no experience at all. This could lead to more loses and it can also cause emotional problem for the gambler because you will be more emotional when you are trying your best to gamble and be profitable but with all your efforts, you are not seeing any positive changes than loses. This can be very frustrating for the gambler.

Loss is inevitable no matter how hard one may try to recover from your previous stigma, I had an incident long ago when I was trading Forex, I lost $1.5k on a straight events of trading, my mind went into blackout for two weeks I was racking my head over the loss and how i could possible recover it because this happen to be my first buck money. The emotions or mind as the case may be can never replace losses and if one try to gain or get back what is loss through emotions you might end up losing more. Psychologically loss can be overrated through our minds if cares is not taken.

Even if you are a gambler with experience it is not advisable to chase losses because having experience doesn't make it any better. With all the experiences that I have had so far the best thing to do after every loss is always to take a break i don't dive into chasing more because I know that I might end up losing. chasing losses is like adding fuel to fire, the more of it you add the fire keeps burning, the best thing you can do is to restrategize and follow a different approach.

You are right, experience doesn't help to recover the amount lost while chasing losses n gambling infact the experience should teach gamblers the need to stop once they are not being lucky for the day cause they will end up suffering more pains as a result of the losses they will encounter if they don't stop after losing. Avoiding the casinos for that dey is a big way to stop gambling if you lose fnd still continue trying the best you can get is to lose more than expected, not all gamblers understand the power of taking a break when they are losing but any good gambler will explain from their experience.

But one thing should always be remembered that you should never run after losses for gambling because if you lose in gambling and keep running thinking about that loss, then a person can become addicted to gambling very quickly, so gamblers should always remember that gambling is not for making money, gambling is best only for entertainment.

It's not intelligent to pursue losses, but it's important to be careful in the casino and not be able to control yourself, because in each of us there's something that's activated, which is adrenaline, and that can harm us because we can act on that emotion and that resistance, so that's something we must control and the best way is by being careful with money.

Chasing losses often causes gamblers to lose even more. Not accepting defeat and continuing to play in order to recover losses is commonly done by gamblers. But what happens is that only a few can recover a small portion of their money. Most gamblers will definitely lose more. 
This is only about a choice, whether to accept defeat or choose to face a bigger loss.

I agree with you because that is the problem most of them are having thinking they will recover their lost without a settle mind they play in a hurry thinking maybe next turn will be their turn to win, but they continue chasing loss Tilly there Pocket gets dry,this challenge is every where,and that is the problem of gamblers.

I agree if a gambler do gambling with cold mind after lose if he hold until better opportunity but they can't. After losing their mind want to recovery instant that's the reason they took wrong dessision and play on their luck. If they hold and find good opportunity then they can stay away from wash out their account. But not all gamblers can't control their emotions when they gambling.

This often happens due to desperation. It could be that the player became very focused on playing and suddenly lost control of their money, resulting in losses that shouldn't have happened. It may be that, out of pure instinct, the player tried to recover that money, but it's not always like that; it doesn't work that way. In a casino, the more you bet desperately without enjoyment, the more money you will lose.

If you, as a player, lose control of yourself, which leads to spending more money than you should have, the best thing to do is avoid making a second mistake, which is chasing losses, thinking you could be able to recover that one lost out of mistake because that mistake of chasing your losses is never easy to come back from. The more you chase the loss, the higher the amount you lose.

It's like a vicious cycle, because the player becomes increasingly more ardent and frantic in their attempts to place a bet, and ultimately, they no longer understand the true value of money. They simply want to escape this state as quickly as possible, but this only makes things worse. I don't want to go down this path, so I've simply learned to quit when I need to, namely, as soon as I think about it, and I don't give myself any excuse to continue. Even though my brain tries to come up with a million reasons to continue, I know it's a hoax and a trap that most players fall into. Just don't try to convince yourself, that's all.

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.

it's important for gamblers to always do things according to their limits, gambling based on what you can is something gamblers need to learn because one of the biggest issue with most of them is comparison. Like you said, some other gambler might not really be chasing, some spend because they have the resources to do that but for someone struggling financially that's something that's not advised at all.

Sometimes those gambler's that failed the apply all the risk measures in gambling end up with the bad pills in their mouth that leave them with a bad taste for a long time, most of them end of becoming gambling addicts and to some their have chosen to remain in their depressed state for so long because of lack of risk management and bankroll control that leave them with heavy debts and losses.

Without risk management and bankroll control in gambling, losses can easily get out of control, and when losses get out of control, the likelihood of making emotional decisions increases, and this decision pushes the gambler into greater danger. In such a situation, they become overly indebted, because they were continuing these games by taking out loans, falling into major debt, depression, and stress. This is why if gambling is not kept under control, it will take control from you, and gambling will control you, and it can mess up everything in your life, and all this will happen simply because there are no limits and control  in gambling.

[Asuspawer09]

I guess it is more like we are getting pull on the gambling trap, because we just don't want to just lose easily, I mean, who wants to just leave losing right, we wanted to end up winning, not really losing. So it is probably just our mind saying that we need to win or can easily fix the losses with just one win, some just maybe believed that the more they are losing that higher the chances that they are eventually going to win as well. No gambler just easily wanted to admit that they are defeated, they are always going to do it more than one time, at least a few more times, before they are going to reach the threshold, before actually giving up they have the thinking that they already lose so much and all of that investment is just going to be wasted if you are going to quit at that time making them chase the losses.

The gambling system probably are just way different already they created a great system to make the gamblers think that they are some how have the control on the bets, sportbetting, card games, or at other games feels like you know what you are doing or somehow you really think that you have the experience or the advantage to do it, you are better than other playes, so that they can lure you to start playing and making continous bets on it.

Chasing losses is one of the traits of an addicted gambler, they never want to quit and call it a day after series of back to back losses. But an experienced and smart gambler who’ve been in the game will probably learn from all of this and know when to call it a day. Most times it comes as a result of anxiety, and the moment a gambler is unable to control his anxiety then it’s going to be disastrous because it mostly leads to frustration and most time depression, that’s why it’s good to be careful and gamble with intelligence.

No one is good at chasing losses, it all ends tragically where they lose all their money without a remainder --- the only way for me is to set a small bankroll so that if the money runs out it's time to stop.

Usually people chase losses using martingale strategy --- by constantly increasing the bet hoping to win the reality is not that easy in gambling, your win ratio is thin so you must realize this.

The problem is that they never actually know when to quit and that's why the zeal to continue playing keeps going even when the loses keep coming. The problem is actually to identify when the game isn't going your way and the ability to actually pause and stop even when you have funds to continue playing, and again greed is another thing that makes the push further, greed will make you try to replace possible past time when you have won hoping to get the same results of which it will all turn out to be false in the end.

Gamblers chases their loses because, they do not accept that they are losing or can lose any game just like that since their intentions are always winning and so if losses come they see it as not being real as if it is a mistake until they get addicted, they fail to accept that they are losers, they gamble with what they cannot afford to lose, also don't have budget and timing for their gambling activities which always leads them to huge loss.

The biggest problem is that most gamblers are forced to gamble more and more because of not accepting defeat, because of not accepting this loss, and because of this not accepting defeat, they keep gambling day after day and keep losing more and more but still they cannot stop. They should understand that this is a game of luck, but despite this they continue to play continuously to get the results according to their expectations, and this is the worst thing. People become addicted to gambling because of their own wrong actions, but when they will manage gambling in a limited range with restrictions, then there will be no possibility of addiction among them.

Yes, what you should do precisely is not continue playing if you know you're tired or have had a significant losing streak. It's not good to keep playing, but something happens when you gamble: your mind gets stuck on the idea of ​​continuing to play and win. But that's something you should put aside. It's better to save that money and play at another time, not to always make the same mistake of trying to recover losses.

I also support this opinion since the pursuit of losses is one of the most significant factors that make gamblers lose more than they intended. As soon as a player begins to gamble emotionally, the focus of his or her intentions is not on fun anymore but rather on recovery, which is the general tendency that results in bad choices. The brain continues to assure the gambler that the next bet will solve all the problems but most of the times it leads to a worse situation. It is important to know when to quit particularly following a losing streak or when one is tired. It is not a matter of desperation but rather a matter of discipline and limits in which gambling should be done because in this way losses will continue piling and not be reclaimed.
