Stop chasing your losses and use it as a lesson.

[Dave1]

unfortunately this is something that a lot of gamblers would keep on doing even if you warn them about how dangerous it can be, gamblers find it hard to learn from the past or other people's experiences. chasing losses only leads to more losses in the long run amd people that do this repeatedly will continue to lose time and money. You cannot do the same things and expect a different result.

You make a fair point, we won't be called risk takers after all if we don't want to go back and somewhat play again without thinking that we go back because we wanted to take a "revenge' and recover what we have lost.

So it's going to be a cyclical, and even if we win and recover back, we will start a new chapter again and play and regardless of the result, winning or losing, we will all be suckered to go back. It's whether we accept it, or completely stop gambling so that we won't lose money after bouncing back.

Gambling is a game of win and lose this is probably the first lesson anyone who is coming into gambling should learn first. Failure to come to terms with this reality will amount to disaster on the part of the gambler. Often times some gambler's are always trying to get back what they have lost in the process of gambling by continuously gambling, some even go further by increasing the stakes thinking that by doing that they are going to win and recover what they have lost in the process.

But there is no guarantee that you are going to recover what you have lost in gambling, the best thing to do when you have gone on a major losing streak is not to continuously gambling with big stakes believing that you are going to recover because, that may not happen.  Take a break and critically evaluate your losing and use it as a lesson going forward and gamble within what you can afford to lose.Chasing your loses is like opening yourself to more loses, Gambling is not a do or die affairs because, what you should know is that, the Casino wants you to continuously gamble knowing that the more you gamble the more the Casino becomes richer and the more the Gambler struggle with regret.

You are very correct, gambling is a game of win and loose. Some time ago, a friend of mine gave someone some money to predict and place bet for him, the person played the first slip and  he lost, he gave him another money to bet the second time, he predicted and played again, he lost, my friend became angry why he is not winning. No bet is sure and any  game can fail which means their is no guarantee of winning in any bet therefore gamble responsibly and take some brake when the game seems unfavourable to you.

Surely loses are not to be seem as lesson rather they are part of the outcome of the game and when it happens it shouldn't not consider as lesson just as you said gambling is a thing of winning or losing, chasing losses comes off as revenge which most of times doesn't end well even in reality of life, some lose their lifes get bruises, the whole situation is about understanding your strength and stay within it and doing the right time at the right time, chasing losses in gambling requires spending more time and money more than expected or usual which is a very bad habit.

Threads and advise like this will keep coming and many more of it but gamblers will keep falling for this loss chasing. It takes a very determined gambler who knows the effect of chasing loses not to continue doing that. It is the big factor that causes the huge lose gamblers go through because if you lose once and stop, you can reorganize yourself back next time and have better luck but if you force your luck on the loses already made, you can keep going round the loses until you lose all. The saying is long overdue not to chase loses.

Exactly, because most of people ignore those suggestion they read and try to be reckless because they think that those negative situation happen to other people won't gonna happen to them.

But they eventually learn a lesson on hard way, especially when reality hits that those advices they read is true and late to realize that they made wrong decisions towards chasing those loses especially when they are so unlucky on that day.

This is why its good to stop when they are losing lots of money, since chasing will just put them on more problematic situation.

This is the most difficult and, I would say, the turning point in the life of any gambler. I'd even say that it's often this moment that divides people into gamblers and inveterate gamblers. After all, if a guy has excellent self-control, he'll easily survive the loss of money, saying, "It's nothing," and only go to the casino many days later, because he doesn't care about the loss. But a player with poor self-control will immediately get angry and go top up their online casino deposit to quickly have something to gamble with. But often, this situation is bad, because this guy will likely lose this money too. And what will he be left with? Take it out on his family?

Most often, I feel sorry for the women and children who are forced to suffer because the head of the family, the father, is so strict and angry about his failures. And you can't even blame luck here, because if the father is smart, he calculates all the negative scenarios and is prudent. But as we've already read, many fathers are terrible at their responsibilities. They literally ignore the fact that they need spare money for a comfortable life, food, and bills. In such cases, I always feel sorry for the children, who are completely innocent and are merely victims of their fathers' unrestrained gambling.

Lost chasing related topics in gamble has been discussed severally on the gambling sections, you would have continue the discussion instead of creating a separate topic in regards to that.

Anyway, chasing of lost has been the major problem most gamblers are having today and untill tomorrow we will keep having same issues if we continue to fail in doing the right thing. However it's right time we save our energy for more meaningful things than crying out all day for adults that knows the implications of lost chasing and still get their self stocked in it. Gamble is not a do or die affairs, it's very simple as ABC, sometimes I can't help but wonder how people goes about this gambling stuff as if their life depends on it , to me my major concern is my peace, I just go have my fun and if lucky enough to win then am cool but if otherwise I just walk away.

[YOSHIE]

Yes, that makes sense, the more we chase losses, the deeper we go into the abyss, that is indeed the risk of the game, I agree that we can consider chasing losses as students and valuable experience in gambling activities.

Chasing losses actually makes us worse in every game. We will never get what we are chasing, in fact the situation is worse than expected. For this reason, every game is an experience and a lesson in every game, what is produced is our effort.

My question is, how can someone who knows he has responsibilities be so lazy to depend on gambling as a source of income, because it is clearly laziness that makes people think they can actually rely on gambling to foot their bills, when others are going out to do something meaningflu with their lives, they spend all the time they have in the casino, wasting their time and money, and to make the whole matter worse, some even add alcohol to the equation and it is their families that suffers the most at the end of the day.

[Versatile_choice]

You really think chasing after loses would stop? No it can't stop because majority of the gamblers believe that chasing after loses is normal so therefore they will continue chasing their losses until it's been recovered, although I have seen most of the gamblers recovering from their lost and these makes me think that sometimes it is good to chase after losses because you might be lucky to get it back especially when you're still new to gamble. And if I may ask does it mean we should stop gambling after making one unsuccessful attempt? Because I know majority would want to try more lucks so I don't really know how to avoid chasing after loses.

Easy to say but once you are already on the situation then it would be that so hard for you to be able to do so or when you are already on the actual situation. We do know that when it comes into this manner on which it would be that so hard to stop specially when you are wary that your loses keeps on piling up. There's no way that you can make yourself that dont mind about those loses on which the primary thinking that you do have in mind is on how you would be able to recover with those. Its important that you should be having that control and moderation because once you do find yourself being not able to control or being impulsive then it would be causing up that even more loses since your main priority now is on how you would be able to make those loses back or trying out to breakeven and this is why gamblers do being trapped and wouldnt be able to get out easily.

Its important that you should be sensible into the actions that you are taking specially when dealing up with gambling on which it would be that crucial for you to mind specially on the amount that you've been using.

No doubt, gambling is a game of both profit and loses, and as a gambler, it is only wise to know when to stop and when to continue depending on your current capital and what you are willing to risk at that exact moment. Because chasing loses is literally unethical and one of the factors that contribute to gambling addiction when a user tries to always chase loses without knowing when to exit from a casino. Because many people have chased losses in gambling and ran into bankruptcy after losing fat more than you were willing and ready to lose, hence, it's always better to let go sometimes when you lose a game, taking that as a lesson for the moment, because gambling was meant to favour the casino far more than the gamblers.

[liasbaa]

Playing again to regain the funds you lose in gambling increases losses and such a mentality makes a gambler addicted. This is one reason and another reason is the mental expectation of winning more once you win. This expectation also makes you a greedy and addicted gambler. The advice you have given is correct because when a gambler loses in gambling, he should criticize that loss and find the mistakes. By correcting the mistakes, you may be able to reduce the amount of losses in gambling. Gaining skill in gambling does not guarantee you more wins. To get positive results from gambling, you need to stop at a time when you are emotionally vulnerable.

[TheUltraElite]

Unfortunately, there is nothing to learn here. Gambling is all about win and loss.

Often this truth needs to be hammered on the new gamblers heads who have been frustrated over losses to understand the reality. Losses in a casino are always going to be more than the wins and that is how the casino is making money and not the players. Unless someone is stopping after a big win and cashing out they will invariably lose their money over time.

The people who are understanding this have to go through a short painful phase of accepting the loss, but once they pass that they will come out wiser.

[michellee]

Stop chasing your losses is the best suggestion to all gamblers. No guarantee you can recovering your lost money in gambling but you may get more losses. That will makes you regret why you decide that so before that is happens, you should always remember that chasing your losses are not a good idea. If you lose money, you should use it as a lesson so you will be better than before. You will prevent the big lost and have better controls over yourself. You should limits your time in gambling so you will not lose much.

[demonica]

I think most people already knew about this. But sometimes when greed takes over, gambler tends to forget about this. As a gambler, we're probably all are aware that we could lose it all, the more we try to chase our losses. But since some people becomes a lot greedy, thinking they can win it back, they just end up losing more.

To be honest, sometimes I also feel this way. When you become a bit competitive, thinking you can win, you end up betting more trying to win back what you've lost. It usually starts will small amount of losses you would try to win, until it becomes big. Though when I already realized that I keep losing, instead of continue playing, I always try to stop and take a break first. I don't wanna get swayed by my emotions and would end up losing more.

Hopefully people get to talk about this a lot to help gamblers learn of the difficulties mingling with problem gambling. The challenge is mental and players have lesser approach to tackling the problem, in a much effective way.

[DPHOR]

Well you have spoken enough because this is likely a common topic or advice that has been given over here in the forum when gambling we should try at least our best to make sure that we are not being consumed by the casino or gambling site. Many people do not actually like to accept the truth while gambling and whenever they knows the truth it will always help them because gambling is never a reliable source of making money even though you lose why gambling it is always advisable to keep chasing what you have already lost because it is an easy way to make loses in the name of chasing what you have already lost.

[Wakate]

Hopefully people get to talk about this a lot to help gamblers learn of the difficulties mingling with problem gambling. The challenge is mental and players have lesser approach to tackling the problem, in a much effective way.

There is need for gamblers that are passing through problems to speak for themselves so that their problems do not get prolonged when solution should have been acquired. The only way people will stop chasing loses is when they have learnt their lesson from several mistakes they must have made in the past. Chasing loses is not good for those that have limited bankroll.

[Pandu Geddon]

All gamblers should have known that from the moment they started gambling, but does that make them stop? Many gamblers are also those who are just trying it out and are only curious about a few games. But after trying, it becomes tempting to try again. If we set limits on our gambling allocation, I believe the effort to chase losses would not happen. Even though some gamblers might actually set limits, they end up breaking them themselves.

Gambling is a game, and everyone that knows what a game is know the conditions which is either to win or to lose; there are no other conditions thank either you win or you lose; for you to have understood that, you are supposed to bear it in mind that one of these would happen to you as long as you have stated gambling, so in case you lose, you will have to take your faith, same thing if you win, you will be happy, so I don’t know why some people are still chasing ways to lose money through making sure the cover their losses; and mostly it ended up to another lose because any game you played without good strategy and plan, you will lose your money for nothing.

Therefore, if you are not lucky in gambling be patient and strategize well against other games, you can make your money back, but planing on revenge directly will lead you to losing more money because you will be furious nd wanted to make the money back. Revenge isn’t that good generally, so let’s be cautions.
