Does anyone else feel unlucky every time they lose?

[drangos]

Some gamblers also experiences more wins some days but due to greed, they will still lose all the money back to the casino and end up losing their deposits because they become pressured to chase losses and while doing so, they get trapped and can not stop until they are completely drained, I also have the same opinion here which I have stated it before that anyone that knows they can not control their self in gambling should just stay away from it.

Exactly, that is just the best thing to do, which will help their lives in all areas and this will also support in preventing them from unnecessary risk or cost, because if one is reckless towards gambling,  they are likely to dance according to beat of their songs. Though, its not an easy thing but with time and effort towards their irresponsible habit in gambling, they will learn to exhibit the attitude of gambling within their budget, which helps them to stay away from wanting to chase their loss.

Whenever gamblers lose, most of them consider themselves unlucky but this is not entirely true because gambling is more of probability than of pure luck. When you lose a couple of games in a row, it is easy to get the impression that something is not going your way and this is especially when you begin to make choices based on your feelings. As stated in the post, greed and the need to recuperate the losses tend to motivate players to continue betting and they hope that the next round would be different. Regrettably, when trying to recover the losses, one tends to make even greater losses and be frustrated. This is the reason why discipline and self-control play an important role in gambling. The avoidance of unnecessary risks can be achieved through setting an easy budget and knowing when to quit. In the event that a person cannot manage his or her gambling behavior, it is indeed the best option to get out of it.

Near miss is one of the most controversial thing in gambling that keeps the mind of gambler unrest with deep feeling of unlucky, once a gambler predict with well analyzed game and it happens di minutes game cutoff that game the gambler must be feed up with the unlucky thought mostly is he has over confidently rely on the particular game that cut it, it has occurred to me as parts of experience where I concluded it's unlucky which I believe too well it occurred to many except the gambler is not a regular one who experience this kind of near missed. Unlucky is a usual thing which many feel provided what leads to their losses is closed to their expectations or prediction.

I do not take this seriously, or personally. I do not care if it looks like there is a situation going on or anything like that, I feel like this is something that I would be willing to see as something that would be okay. I get that people may not feel like that's a huge dela, because when they lose more than they can afford to, that's a bad thing but that doesn't change the fact that in reality is not really that much of a big deal and we should not be looking at this like a big deal if we limit what we lose.

This is a common occurrence in gambling. Everyone who gambles has experienced this. Sometimes, luck stops at such a point in betting, especially those who play slots regularly, they feel very unlucky because there is more regret for near misses. The higher the reward of the bet, the more regret there will be if you miss. I think almost all those who gamble have the same situation. That is why instead of feeling unlucky, you should accept it as normal. This will reduce the regret of the gambler. It is not that only losses will happen in gambling, there are many who have also won very big. If you place a bet, luck can be either good or bad.

If I place five sports events on one betting slip, then I only have myself to blame for losing. I have made it a habit a long time ago to only play single bets or two-event parlays. On very rare occasions I will add three events on the same slip. Everyone who bets wants to win. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. But I don't beat myself up if it doesn't work out and the outcomes are different from what I predicted. 

[LUCKMCFLY]

What you said is true. Trying various positive activities that can make the brain forget about gambling, even if only temporarily, and if this is done consistently, it is very likely that the desire to gamble will continue to decrease and even disappear. I would also like to add that you should try to avoid social circles that might encourage you to gamble again, as many people who initially lose interest in gambling find that feeling returning after being persuaded by gambling friends to gamble again.

Yes, it doesn't matter if it's just for a moment, it will be something temporary, the idea is that you should try to pay attention to other activities, there's no other way, we are people who are motivated by what we like the most, and we do it because of what we like, it can be clearly said that those who fall into addiction do so because they have already shown that they love the activity, only they didn't consider the consequences, but you should try to replace what is harmful with what is good.

I don’t know if I’m overthinking, but every time I place a bet, say 5 games, and 2 lose, my first thought is always: “I’m just unlucky.”

I catch myself thinking, if I hadn’t played those games, it would’ve gone the other way.

Does anyone else feel like this, or is it just me with this weird mindset?

Yes, everyone feels unlucky after losing in gambling. But when they start gambling again, they feel very clever and intelligent and many think that they can easily win by using the strategies they know. And I had a kind of thought when I used to gamble a lot that if I lost 3-4 times in a row, I would win the next bets and at that time I would increase the amount of my bets but I would lose them, thus I myself lost a lot. So from my own experience, I can say that gambling games hypnotize our brain in such a way that we cannot feel when the fun things cause financial ruin

[LUCKMCFLY]

It will surely work for people who are determined to stop gambling and not for those whose mindset are already made to become rich through gambling and for them, if the mission hasn't been accomplished, they won't see any other reason to quit gambling or give it a break and this set of person takes the grace of God to be save in life, because no matter how much one offer help to them, they will still run back to gamble, because they are so addicted to it and also loved one's can try their best as well, with gradual process they will have overcome it and be free from addiction.

What I think is that each of us has a limit where we can or cannot endure, Personally I would say that when someone gambles a lot and loses, they know that the money is lost, but they enjoyed the process while losing So, the person was actually happy while playing, even though they didn't achieve other goals The casino, through its game, managed to give the person a good, fun, and enjoyable time.

This mistake is very common to so many gamblers and to be frank it can be really tempting sometimes especially when you are super excited that you are good in gambling after some series of win. The feeling is always somehow when you start losing back because you will want to show again that you are good and this is where the major loss comes because if you don't accept defeat and stay away you will lose all you have won and still play on credit or borrow to play more and what comes after this is depression and frustration.

Its hard to just quit or stop gambling, especially if you have been winning at first, but its essential to accept defeats and understand that is what gambling is fore, sometimes you might and sometimes you might not, which is a 50/50 thing and that is why its advised that gamblers should use funds they can easily lose and not be affected by it, because chasing losses is what is making most people to become addicted to gambling, which will bring in financial stress and regrets in one's life, that can put one in devastating mood, making them to make decisions based on their emotions, which the result will turn out to be pleasing.

Definitely right. That one image in a slot that could've made a high multiplier, or that one last ball in Plinko that almost dropped at x1000. Those kinds of near misses are when a gambler starts thinking about playing some more. Most of the time, we will get it wrong, and even if we play more, it might not happen again. It's like a trap for gamblers to keep on trying and think that they will win if they just deposit more.

It's all mental. It's not being unlucky. We are just thinking about how we ended up there, and luck is not on our side, but the truth is, it's our decision that made it all happen. Luck didn't decide for us. It's our own will to try and win, but it didn't reach our expectations.

These gamblers who are still happy even after losing are those who gamble to entertain themselves. Satisfaction is more important to them, spending their time and enjoying the game. We know it's really sad if we lose our money in gambling especially if you have high hopes to win since the money is also meant for important things but still you risk it. The reason why we should not expect anything in gambling because losing is inevitable.

I can say that gambling games hypnotize our brain in such a way that we cannot feel when the fun things cause financial ruin

And many see it as a deception or the perfect scam This is something that can affect mental and physical health because we lose money. It's not good to lose money; our money should be taken care of since it not only allows us to have fun at the casino, but also gives us comforts in our lives, to enjoy a certain level of happiness Without money, everything gets complicated financial problems arise, loans, and all that debt that shouldn't be sought.

[Bigjoe33]

The main goal of casino developers is to fulfill their own goals and literally they want to keep their profit high at the end of the day. Casino algorithms are set in their favour but they often use tricks to attract gamblers. There are a few casinos that offer gamblers attractive offers or allow them to win. When those gamblers win multiple times, they build confidence and keep playing more. The confidence that is built in gamblers after one or two wins entices them to gamble more. This is how casinos run their campaigns and allow gamblers to earn a very small amount of money and taken a lot more money from those gamblers.

Gambling games are designed to make players lose the more they play, so gamblers shouldn't feel bad for being unlucky at all... They aren't being a failure, it's just that the games are working exactly how they are supposed to work, due to the reason you mentioned above. Anyway, if consecutive losses are being a big issue for a gambler, it means he should stop immediately, because gambling stopped being entertaining for him. It has become a burden, a reason to feel bad about, so he should give up at once.

Taking a break should be the next approach immediately, so to change the bad feeling, yea. But some are becoming addicted that they can't say no, or take a break at least for a while before engaging again.  Just like you mentioned, gambling is supposed to be fun, and that is failed, then one has to do some proper evaluation and make possible corrections in one's gambling habit. You can be gambling and crying everyday instead of catching fun. At least, gamblers should understand that it was made to make them fail, so that Tye gambling companies can benefit from there failures, but if the sometimes failures bothers you alot, then take a break and think. It's no big deal

Any person or gambler that don't want to lose money through gambling should better know what they are doing and where they are staking their bets. There are casinos that can make it harder for you to make profits from gambling and it will not be fun at all when you are trying hard to stay profitable and you are not getting any reasonable profits from gambling. The deception of gambling often that gih arf going to make huge profits soon from betting on different games can be very serious to those that have the addiction in gambling.

That happens a lot. There are people who gamble and don't consider the needs they have to meet, When I see someone gambling and I can give them advice, I do. It doesn't cost me anything, but it's better than seeing someone upset or sad because they lost money they shouldn't have, I went through that, and many of us here have, and those setbacks are what have taught us to be the players we are now Sometimes sadness is unavoidable, but you still have to move forward.

It is normal and certainly yes, because no one loves to be a party of failure, when you lose your game it is always sadden  of that feeling of not been lucky to yourself, feels you have just wasted your resources.

One need to be positive to himself while gambling, because at times it is your thought that makes that will determine the result of your game, ordinarily, no body want to lose any of their games, but in gambling, wins are always not guaranteed and gambling is for fun.

Loss is whst we can't do without in gamblng. Even if you decide to bet on the best team, one day they will still lose. Funniest is that they mostly lose to the least team you never think off. It's always better when you pick a strategy that work best for you to win more than you lose. But nevertheless, when one still lose after many win you will still feel it and wish you should have made a different pick.

This is the chip on the shoulder effect, its real and it will alter your behavior negatively because you believe you are worse off in some unfair way or are deserved a better set of results.
   Its part why I always say have a hard limit on time or budget you bet on any particular day, take time out for perspective and fresh air; do not get trapped in your own head in over thinking good luck vs bad luck.  If nothing else you know this distracting thought is weight against your best play, it doesn't help.
  None of us can know for sure just play the game is all you can do, fairness is something else completely imo.

[tread93]

Conversely, if you win your bet, you'll likely have the mindset of "wow, I feel really lucky! If I'd bet more, it would have been a huge win." Such feelings aren't uncommon, but they're often a reflection of regret at a loss or joy at a win. These are just some common thoughts among gamblers.

Yes, I jive with this mindset much better. And you know what? I am a very lucky fellow! I find good stuff all the time, I would say my luck is like a river that keeps on flowing or snow that keeps falling and comes when I least expect it. When the plans are laid out and I have a great mindset everything is great, but on the other and when it is negative you have to fight those thoughts out of your head. DO NOT LET NEGATIVE TALK OR SELF TALK DWELL IN OR AROUND YOU

Plus the whole point of casino is to make sure gamblers lose money, that's how they make a profit. ~

Nope. That's a common misconception. If all gamblers were only losing their money in casinos, they would have stopped gambling a long time ago, and there would be no such thing as gambling these days. In fact, casinos not only want people were winning small amounts sometimes, but they want some big wins too so that they could tell about it and attract more people to play on their platform. They make their profit not from the money lost on their platform, but from the house edge, so, the more people play in their casino, the better for them.

He has a point but even though the game was designed to put the casino in profit not every gambler loses, some are lucky enough to win but what's the percentage of those winning compared to those losing, the profits they make is high because there are more losers than win winners, that's how gambling works.

I can tell you, mate. It’s roughly 45% to 55%. The thing is that people who often win small amounts never tell about it, while those who often lose say (or at least think to themselves), "I’m always losing." Also, those who win big amounts often prefer to keep quiet about it, but you can hear a lot of stories about someone losing the fortune. Hence the impression that "99% of gamblers lose everything to the house". But in fact that’s far from the truth.
