Does anyone else feel unlucky every time they lose?

[hedgeh0g]

You don’t control the games and there is no way that the game knows your intuition and what you’ve bet on, so you need to be very careful what your mind makes you feel after a loss, it may also make you miss out and not take on the best bet to make you win. Gambling generally is a game of luck, so whatever the outcomes of a game is, you can’t be judgmental that what it you didn’t do this, that will happen, you’ll begin to distrust yourself even when you’re so convinced of a game to go your way. Gambling is a game of luck, if you’re unlucky and don’t win now, it means the game didn’t favor you and try again another time.

Indeed, luck plays a vital role in the game, but there's no need to feel unlucky, because losing is normal for any player; we can't always win. I just don't want to dream too much and I understand perfectly well how casinos make money, so players shouldn't be vulnerable to wagering requirements, that's all. You just need to try to influence what you can influence, such as controlling your emotions, choosing the right risks for yourself, and practicing risk management, which means keeping your stakes low.

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?

This do reminds me of what some gamblers f the gamblers I have met in real life and thoughts of some users about similar discussions, saying that they lean to lose their bets when it's shared with another person. Like when someone else gets the game code and plays it then it's automatic bad luck for them with that bet. Which I wonder how does that happen.

I am of the opinion that a bet that would be lost would be, irrespective of you sharing and not sharing it to others. Luck doesn't change with our bet just because it wasn't just us that played it. In the very way too that the outcome of a game would be what it would finally be whether or not we added it to our bet slip.

The feeling is common, I do experience such feelings sometimes when I have had several losses in a row and I just feel bad for not winning at all, then the thought would just come to my head "why am I so unlike always?" Some people might not have just thought because of how different they think about gambling but those that still have interest for rewards will want to win and if they experience a lose, they will have such thoughts.

Do you also feel you are lucky when you experience a straight wins? It's just human nature, we overemphasize our losses and downplay our wins. Most gamblers are quick to recognise how much they have lost, but silent on their gains. I simply take a break anytime I observe that my losses are becoming too much. Taking a break helps me to rearrange myself and return fresh. Having at the back of our mind that gambling outcomes cannot be predicted plays a vital role in shaping our mindset.

Lets say that luck would be always be the main determining factor for us to win when doing gambling on which its just that the normal approach. It is just that there are individuals who are that believing or becoming delusional when it comes to this manner on which this would be that resulting into disaster at the time that they would be losing up that much. Feeling unlucky is normal because most of gamblers will definitely be losing in the end of the day on thats why its important that you dont make yourself that being that too delusional and would be also having the control. You are the ones will be that making up the decision and we do have our own will and common sense whether we are still good when it comes to spending or totally that losing up that much because gamblers will be just that continuing in despite of the loses that they do have that keeps on piling up.

If you wont be that making yourself that sensible or mindful towards your actions or else you would be ending up having some issues at the time that you would be seeing yourself having no money already left on your pocket.

It is lack of luck that makes someone lose money I the first place. If you are very lucky in games that are predominantly luck-based, you will win something that will brighten your mode and give you that sense of fulfilment. It is when luck is not on your that losing becomes a habit and you can't help but feel so unlucky and sometimes demoralised depending on the amountof money you have invested into the bet. We all always hope that luck will align with our skill to enable us get some cool winnings.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

It's a very common thing that we feels pain unlucky when will gamble and miss out the winning opportunity from a bet, it is a normal thing because human nature is bound to feel disappointed at some point in time, we can avoid it because we are taking risk to gamble and whenever we miss out any opportunity to win a bet, it comes to us as a disappointment and feels unlucky to win, even though it does not stop us from more attempts.

Everyone basically thinks that if he had not played that game then he would not have lost that amount of money. His decision was wrong and he made that decision because he had that luck. I think so too. But even though we think this, we cannot stop our emotions that we should not continue gambling because we have bad luck. At that time we also think that if we deposit food and do not make the mistakes we have made like placing big bets, taking high risks, we will be able to make a profit on the next deposit and recover the loss we have made. In these thoughts, we forget about our bad luck. And this is the biggest failure of gambling.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

It's a usual thing to many gambler which I may not be excluded with the feeling of running out of luck when one losses in any placed gambling, because many believed on the luck aide of gambling which is not far from reality because professionalism don't count in gambling it's only and edge to hood prediction and near success while engaging on gambling.

[Judith87403]

There is nothing weird about your feeling at all. That's a mental trap that is very common called the hindsight and bias outcome. After results are known, the brain begins to rewrite the narrative and makes it to feel like thing would have changed with a different choice, even if every bet was independent. Losses happen to stick emotionally more than the wins, therefore two losses can outweigh up to three wins in your head. To call it bad luck is the brain attempting to simplify randomness into a story. A lot of gamblers feel this way at a particular point. The frame considered healthier is judging decisions using logic and odds at the very time you placed them, instead of by the outcome. Random results do not imply you made a wrong choice.

You are probably not alone with these thoughts or feelings -- many people tend to experience something similar. Nevertheless, this mindset or approach to this situation is terrible and it shows that you do not have any education in statistics, among other things. You do not understand probability and how randomness worse. The whole idea that if you had not placed those bets, the outcomes would have been different is essentially just a version of illusion of control. It is your own bias to believe that you can somehow influence random outcomes, when it fact you have no control whatsoever here. The outcomes of these games or events are independent on the choices that you make in the long run, and focusing on the short-term doesn't change anything about this fact. The number of games that you play and their outcomes are just part of the larger randomness, and they are not related to whether you have made the decision to play or not.

In statistics, you can draw on the law of large number, and with this you should know the probabilities should average out to their expected values in the long run. It is because of this that a few losses in a short run can never indicate any trend, or unluckiness of the individual. It is just normal outcome variance, to which humans who are not educated in statistics are unnecessarily assigning meaning among other things. From a philosophical standpoint the situation is not any better either, you add determinism and hindsight bias. People who are less educated and less intelligent tend to look for patterns that don't exist, because they can't accept the concept of randomness -- that is why they try to look for meaning in them. Being lucky or unlucky is just an illusion of your mind.

In the most literal sense, anytime you lose a bet it is also as a result of the fact that you ran out of luck at the time. you can only be lucky for a particular duration of time and that is just it, even when you think that you have gotten your analysis right and that you can not fail, fact still remain that you can fail at your bet which is just the normal thing with everyone. some can even be unlucky to the point that out of every game hey play, it is only one that always cuts it. that is what the game is about, it is all about luck, luck and luck.

[NurseHub]

This just reminds me of the gist my friend gave me yesterday. He said he has been playing games for a while now with big money but has always lost it, to him, it feels like he's now unlucky, but he kept trying because he has always been lucky, but just things changed. So last night he played with 83 naira and won about 14,000 naira he was so happy and wished he used better money. It's a normal feeling, when you lose, you feel unlucky, especially when it's becoming frequent, and when you win small, you wish you had used a better amount. But regardless, we are just human, and it's okay to feel that way, but always remember a lucky day will come for you. Don't expect too much so you don't get hurt when it's not yet here.

We have all experience that as gamblers in the past and even at present time we still have such experience where we lose rapidly and thinks that something is definitely working against us, this is very commonly for almost all the gambler's and the reason why some end up chasing losses if they can't control themselves at times like this.

The game is the game. Feeling unlucky is part of the game which is normal. It is a game of luck. Think about this way, if you win the casino considers themselves unlucky . I hope this makes you feel better in some way.

The thoughts of what we could have done or didn’t do in gambling is constant but we must let it be the loudest.

Fairly given mate... "The game is the game" as you can't be losing and feel otherwise lucky as you would feel when you're winning. It's just for the gambler to accept what he gets and move on without thinking much about it to the extend it gets to them hurtfully that they can't sleep without thinking about it.

When losing to the casino the gambler should know when to stop and align with the outcome that it's not his lucky day. It doesn't have to be until when the losses are huge or bankroll is cleaned. We always get the signal but ignores it in hope for a change in outcome as we continue with more bets.

Mental or psychological strength of accepting reality whether the result is bad or bad, is the ability to avoid falling into a deeper depression of regrets. I discover that one of the best ways in which an individual can save on assets is by being able to stop when he notices that he is on a losing path and no longer pursue false doubt. You give rather practical advice, but it is much better to keep calm, and you can get enough sleep without having to carry all the emotional baggage in your system that disturbs your slumbers.

[Maslate]

If its a consistent loss, then I might say that its because you are unlucky. But if you are just hitting those initial losses that could pave way for your luck to perform, then that's part of gambling, you may lose first prior to big wins, and that's not being unlucky, but that's how gambling works.

Sometimes, we don't need to see that gambling is all about luck. Because if we keep chasing our luck, that's where we may suffer from bigger losses. Its okay to gamble and lose at some point, but don't label it that you're very unlucky. You lose because that's part of the process, and you may win or lose more if you continue gambling.

[Moreno233]

It is not everyone that feel unlucky when they lose because they already anticipated the losing so they just move on and try again. Only people who do not know that losing is part of gambling will feel that way and such feeling can become a psychological barrier if not erased as quickly as possible. No matter how careful you are in gambling, you must lose sometimes, so accepting losses should be a necessary thing to do to be able to gamble correctly.

It’s a universal feeling, it’s not just you, we all know that feeling of “damn! If only I had picked the other option”.

It’s not a bad thing, what matters is what you do afterwards, do you keep thinking about it? And keep blaming yourself for picking the wrong one or you just brush it off and move on with your gambling activities? If the latter is the case then you don’t have anything to be bothered about because you lost likely have a good gambling habit and used an amount that didn’t affect you too much. But if the bet made you think about it for a long time and then it out kept regretting your selection for a very long time then you need to reevaluate your entire gambling activity to see if you’re really doing it safe or not.

Luck is variable, not constant and should be taken as such, so there should be no need to feel bad after a bad day at betting. The mindset is very important while betting, as it affects how one could take the outcome of every game.

When the mind is wired to expect any outcome,  it's becomes easy to accept the results. There are certain occasions where I miss a bet by a single game and it just seems like my day is beginning to get bad but I just find a way to think on the positive.
