This is one of the Painful Part in Gambling

[Slow death]

I also went through the same sad scenario. I made some multi-bets and got almost all the games right, but I lost the entire bet because of just one game involving PSG. For the PSG vs. Monaco game, I bet on PSG to win or draw, and even then I lost my bet because PSG lost the game. Last week I lost my bet because of Real Madrid, and the week after that I also lost my bet, this time because of Benfica. What I mean by this is that losses will always happen to everyone; it's inevitable for anyone who is betting on sports.

This is what happens with Parlays, most often we end up with one or two leg short that cost the whole amount but in reality we just lost a small wager but we just assume the potential win as our money and if you want to tackle this then use cashout option which can give you 50% or around that range which is still a win compared to win nothing.

I don't want to say much because it is too painful. I used $0.30 in local currency which was equivalent to N440 to win about $9 which is equivalent to N12,500 and the potential win was big in the local currency. And the total games played were 11 as multiple bet. To make the story short, it was only Chelsea vs Arsenal match cut the bet. All other games entered. Omen (guys), it was painful. I took double chance for anyone to win but the game ended up drew so I lost out.

I think I want to rest small in the gambling world. I have loss enough this year. Let me break.

This is for pure fun only, I would never expect to get a multi bet with eleven games right. It's just not going to happen unless it is if you know what I mean.

One thing I don't understand though and I quickly had a look again at your slip, Chelsea vs. Arsenal was the last game and every other game had settled by then. Couldn't you have hedged against the outcome? If you chose "draw" as the outcome with 25% - 30% of the total potential winnings, you would have safely made over 20x on that bet slip.

If you feel it's too painful and that you already had enough losses this years, maybe it's indeed a good moment for you to quit gambling, because it truly looks like it stopped being entertaining for you. Give a break, focus your time, energy and money on other hobbies, and once you start missing gambling at some point, then you can think about placing bets once again. Thankfully, we are talking about a 0,30$ bet, what means you didn't lose a big sum of money on it...

Losses like this are very likely to occur and we cannot avoid them because they are already part of the gambling that must be accepted. However, there is no need to get too lost in regret or frustration because it will actually affect your psychology. If you need to take time to break, just do it, because taking breaks is one of the best decisions to make when emotions are running high and you are in a less stable condition. Just come back again when you are in better condition, and hopefully everything will get better for you.

It is normal, at times the game comes like that when the game you expect to win did not win it is so frustrating,

It is good to take a break when you feel you need it to have proper relaxation, but don't forget yourself not to be carried away with your taughts of your lost game.

Some things that often happen are:
Almost won
Just about to win
If only.... would have won
It should have been like this, would have won...

Oh, sometimes it's not just the results of gambling that are painful, but also our mindset and actions in gambling. When we have high hopes but the results don't match, we will definitely feel disappointed, and every moment will be painful.

However, on the other hand, what happens is, we might be too reckless/careless, or get carried away by the situation, which makes us gamble carelessly. That's why this sometimes makes us unprepared for the loss.

Most of the games I have bet on is mostly one game that used to cut it and this often happen to almost all gamblers in the field. You can have 20 games running and you might be surprised that one of the game will be the one that will spoil it. I have learnt to cashout games that are much especially when it is remaing just one game. Cashout is a good option for any gambler in this situation.

The loss of your winnings as a result of a single play is so discouraging and thus we should consider ourselves worthy to maintain what we have reaped up to date. As an example of a realistic method of guarding our winning and avoiding the anxiety that occurs when the final result is awaited, we can use cashouts. By such decision, we give ourselves the room to be calm and not stressed emotionally. By just taking this small measure we can continue to play the game and save our hard work and our hard earned capital.

Sorry for the loss. But one thing that I do like is the fact that you really know when to stop am when to continue.. for the fact that you acknowledge that it is time to take a rest proves that you gamble responsibly and do not allow greed to take over.. you'll get a lot of wins in the future

Even when we feel confident, it’s still hard to pick the right bet. Choosing to take a break was already a good decision. Many people chase their losses with another bet, but from what I see, you’ve already lost a lot and you’re exhausted. Take your time and recover. When you come back, you’ll be stronger. I believe you’ll hit a big win one day just keep playing responsibly and only use money you can afford to lose.

[Text]

it’s really painful when just one game messes everything up especially when the potential win is already big. Taking a break is the right thing to do sometimes the best decision in gambling is to step back so the losses & stress don’t pile up there’s nothing wrong with resting and it actually helps you reset & focus on other things. Take your time your peace of mind is worth more than any potential payout.

These things happen in gambling, you shouldn't feel bad. It's a big loss, but you should know that it could happen. So, if you look back, you enjoyed it, you momentarily enjoyed being able to win. I don't know if I could have withdrawn, if I could have, it was a big mistake not to have done so. It's better to be safe, but it doesn't matter because you learn that you should do it, and to finish, you still have the opportunity to do better. Not all is lost.

I'm sorry for your loses this this year as said by you, gambling is not really easy to win. Many people have lost much fund too. Maybe you should just take a break as you have said, or possibly you can change strategy to see if it works for you. Sometimes strategy works according to some people. I myself haven't win as much as I expect even though I changed strategy, but that would not make me to discourage someone from trying out new methods. Gambling is not for the weak, but for the strong hearted. The slogan is to keep trying, life is all about taking risk, so we grab the bull by the horn despite the risk.

That kind of loss can really sting especially when it’s just one game that ruins an entire ticket you had everything lined up perfectly eleven matches in total and only one small detail flipped the whole outcome that’s the kind of heartbreak every gambler knows too well because when you’re that close to winning big the disappointment feels twice as deep the chelsea vs arsenal game ending in a draw must have felt like bad luck laughing in your face and honestly anyone would feel crushed after that.

Taking a break like you said is a smart move sometimes stepping back is exactly what we need it helps you clear your head and stop the emotional pressure that builds up after repeated losses many people make the mistake of chasing those losses thinking they can win it all back quickly but that only leads to more frustration the best gamblers and bettors know when to pause breathe and recover because patience is part of the game. If you ever decide to come back don’t rush into it use the break to reflect on what went wrong and what can be done differently maybe review your strategy or stick with fewer selections per ticket or smaller odds sometimes less really is more.

If I understand you correctly, the amount of money you spent on betting on this ticket is 440 Nigerian naira? Well, if this be the case, you didn't spend much and shouldnt be too worried because shits happen for real..

But on the other hand, if I was in your shoes, I wouldn't be feeling bad for the money which I spent on this ticket because to be honest, it's insignificant, but my disappointment will mainly be on the ticket itself, it is indeed painful to win 10 games out of 11 games, and just that remaining 1 game to end up being the reason why I won't be able to take home the amount of money I was supposed to win, should be painful indeed but this is why it's called gambling,  we can't correctly predict everything that will happen.

According to what he posted, he used $0.3 to bet which is equivalent to 440 naira in his local currency, that is a very small amount of money that he should not think about.

If it is me, I will not think about the money at all, I will also still prefer to go for another parlays anytime I have the time for it. But if OP wants to rest for awhile, it is good but I still think that money is too small to say he lost money.

[crwth]

I believe OP is focusing too much on the "possibility" of the number of wins he could get, but not to the point where it should be "you only lost $0.30". It's going to be painful if you always think about the What-ifs in your life and not focus on the actual situation that you have now.

Who knows, OP, maybe the next time you do a parlay, you will get the win in total. If not, perhaps you opt to cash out early if the platform allows you to.

Exactly!
$0.30 is a very small wager so not that much lost, ok the possible win was not bad
but running a parlay is really difficult.

Its such a pity that the bet got wiped out with the last match too!

IMO those matches with such 'high' odds were riskier than using matches with
smaller odds and less profit.

I have sometimes thought that when doing a parlay why not bet on the
individual matches as well eventhough the returns are smaller if the parlay fails.

It's annoying for sure. But it's technically not about just that one missed bet, because it's about all of them. Odds are only higher because your changes of winning multiple bets are lower. This might seem obvious, but it's not obvious to our brain.

Because we just don't think it like that. We see only last game being the problem, so we count only changes of that last game, so we think we had better changes to win then we actually had. Because even if you had 50/50 change with every game, predicting 10 of them beforehand makes your changes to 1 in 1024. You are accepting the whole bet, but it seems like we almost won. In reality, it's huge part of the low changes.
