This is one of the Painful Part in Gambling

[Agbamoni]

Funny enough it is always the last game or the game that gave you so much to think about when making the selection. In your mind, you will be saying, " I wish I knew I would have just avoided that game."

And yes, I did avoid that game yesterday; it was too complicated, so I would rather skip it.

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.

A painful betting result, my friend. But clearly you're not alone in experiencing this frustrating moment. There are even more painful outcomes for other bettors out there. I've personally been thwarted several times by decisive matches in parlay bets. And actually, what you did by choosing the Arsenal-Chelsea double chance option already correct. Just consider it an unlucky day for you and stay positive.

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

This is something I always do when bad moments come in my betting. Stepping away for a while can provide some peace of mind.

I know it hurts, but in multibets, things like this can easily happen no matter how many legs there are, it's just that the fewer the legs, the smaller the risk, and vice versa, and I'm sure you already understand that.
In multibets, even if you choose small odds because they are considered more likely to win, the risk of losing everything is still very much present. Enjoy your break time, it's important so that this loss doesn't affect your other work.

It is a pity that such an eleven event parlay did not win, because of just one match, but on the other hand, you placed only thirty cents, and that is actually a very small amount. That is why I think you should not regret this bet too much, because the loss was minimal. How often do you make such big parlays? Maybe it would be more reasonable to split this bet into at least three parlays with four events in each, and place at least one dollar on each bet. In that case, two bets would have won, one would have lost, but you would still have won more overall. I do not like placing such big parlays, because the more events there are, the higher the chance that you will lose.

It has to be a very important lesson to you. If you're not feeling confident enough with game that might destroy your parlay, better to stop it then take profit. I understand very well how disappointed you're but this is the consequence when you put so many legs into your parlay.

Since you're losing only less than a buck. It obviously gives no impact to yourlife. Just forget it and move on. Regretting your parlay just because you lose your one leg ain't giving back your money.

It's good to know that you have your limit, this is essential mate, a gambler should have a point where he should take a break, it's a sign of a responsible gambler, it's suitable for the gambler's mental health if he can take time out and take more time on the most important things in life which is family and work.

Iresponsible gamblers will continue to challenge themselves whenever they have a long losing streak they always beleive that its only a matter of time before there is a shift so they keep betting, they don't know the word take a break.

The more legs we have in a parley, the more it makes sense, this is the absolute truth, I can't imagine myself deciding to bet on parleys and I am betting on a 2, 3 or 4 legs parley, what is that? Which still you won't even get any guarantee of winning, you may still likely end up losing it like the person who bet on 20 legs parlay.

Well, I sure perfectly understand your point bud, there I do not think op made any mistake or should regret his decision of betting on a parley with so many legs, people still win 20 or more legs parley, I've seen one win a 22 legs parley.
The Arsenal game didn't just play well and thats just it, i personally imagined that match ending in a draw even before it was played because Chelsea is one hell of a club that finds extra strength when ever they play against a top club, but any body out there could have thought differently and this is one of the ways we are different as humans.

I know that many people will lose money because of the outcome of the game between Chelsea and Arsenal. Many people believed that the Gunners would beat the Blues mercilessly. I refused to bet on that match because the outcome looks unpredictable. OP said he's taking a break for this year, maybe he has lost so much. Sometimes it's good to evaluate our gambling activities and make decisions.

Sorry for your loss, friend, basically double betting is not easy, you are not alone, we also experienced defeat in the Chelsea vs Arsenal match, it all ended there.

Get enough rest for this annoying year, and come again in January 2026, your mind will be much calmer and able to overcome the previous annoyances, turn over a new page, and never hold a grudge on losing bets.

A parlay bet that ended up losing.

A very common thing that's happening to us gamblers, and it happened to me as well with basketball. Well, I guess I can safely say on this one that "Cash-out is king." Anyway, I guess sometimes it's good to just cash out the profits that you have especially if you feel that it's enough already. I mean there's a chance that you might end up winning more, but things like this where you already won huge, but decided to gamble it even more then lost everything.

That's very hurtful and disappointing from the perspective of the gambler, but sh*t happens, and things like this do happen for you to learn a lesson to cash-out if needed.

[lionheart78]

@OP I agree with you, the most painful part is when we think we have the grasp of the situation, but we are not.  Just like the result of your parlay bet.  I am sorry that you have to experience such disappointment.  But, it is a good thing to be able to move on.  I think with your decision to take a break is a good first step for moving on, then when all goes back to normal ( emotion, funding), you are always free to go back to betting...

But please don't break, just take a break. You can always recover what you have lost through other means, but if you break, it will be the end of it.

[Pandu Geddon]

That was indeed a painful defeat. It is not about the number of games almost won, but more about the opportunity that ultimately failed because of a single loss. I’m sure there was an offer to cash out, but as bettors, we certainly have full confidence in winning all the remaining matches. It is just that sometimes bad luck comes. Taking a short break is a good choice for those of you who may have started feeling tired from several losses. Try again with a new streak of luck.

I'm curious what you'd think about my bet, which had overall odds of 40+ and lost only because PSG couldn't win against Lorient? I think the odds for PSG to win were around 1.25-1.30. Yes, such multiple bets are remembered no less than those that you win. I definitely enjoy it when multiple outcomes turn out wrong, and then there's no longer that unpleasant feeling of being one step away from victory. But that's hight risk gambling—one outcome ruins everything.

[maydna]

Sorry for your loss. You can take a break any time. Use your time to do other things you want. Don't let gambling make you return if you still want to rest your mind. You should forget your losses, not think about and focus on the other things you want to do. You can return to gambling anytime after taking a break so there is no hurry to gamble if you want to forget it for a while.

Some losses are really hard to accept, but there is nothing you can do, you have to accept the reality. If you are not lucky, it will go away somehow, as happened in your case, if any team win the match, you would have won but the match ended in a draw, so you could not win, which is what happens when you are unlucky. However, in gambling, it is very important to take time to control yourself, whether it is a win or a loss, you have taken time, it is a good decision. No matter how much we research and bet, we have to depend on luck to win, if we are not lucky, we cannot win the bet.

[Nathrixxx]

Playing your bet after the whole efforts has been made in it and you're almost there, just to only discover that a single game cause the lost of the entire games, this is more painful than never, there are also times in which we get the offer to cash out when we have some few games left, because we might not be very certain about them or what may comes after then, this also shows that we should not be too confident until it's over.

[Rabata]

I know how tired you are of this bet. After coming this far, you have to put down your last leg. It will be very painful, but you still have to forget it. You have to be ready to prove yourself again. If there is no luck in gambling, there is no point. It is even more difficult to win such a gamble. If you can take a break and forget about this incident, then it is worth it. But I am sure that forgetting this bet will not be easy for you.

I didn't think the match would end with a draw. You had a good chance of winning but it's hard to imagine that fate would turn so against you. If only one team had won, it would have happened. As far as I know, the match ended in a draw in the 59th minute and you were good until then but after that you had to endure a lot of pressure.

Honestly, it would be extremely difficult for me to move on from something like this happening to me.
This is the kind of gambling-betting experience which stays with one for years and years to come and it could only be forgotten by something even worse happening to us or having extremely good luck and actually pulling off a 25 leg bet and pocketing all the money.

This is one of the reason I choose not to go for multiple leg bets on bookies, it is way simpler and less painful to stay in moneyline. It is straight to the point and one does not need to have one's attention on several matches in order to know one is a loser or a winner.

Just my persona opinion, though.

Personally, I will give kudos to him for having the courage of playing this kind of game, the risk is high and mostly in parlay like this, the chances of winning are low, but when things like this happens, we still learn to move on regardless of how it pained us to the bone, everything should fall under the risk taken and the understanding wr have with playing bets, being a winning or losing one, as such is what gambling is expected.

Exactly, last game and middle games in multiple bet disappoint gamblers. When when all the games have ticket good and you hope is build on nothing less but to win the slip but ironically the most anticipated game cut the slip, that is really painful. Op has to take heart and move on, but if he wants to rest, no problem it is good to rest a little when you have loss enough because if you continue, you loss more and the pain will be increasing. And he should gamble what he can afford to loss so that it would not be painful again when he comes back to the gambling action again. That yesterday game would made many to loss because many predicted Arsenal to win. And gamblers who would took draw in that game would not many.

Such is life in gambling.
