believe me, one last deposit, is a lie!

[danherbias07]

I was like that in the past. I learned my lesson when I felt the losses just kept on piling up.

It's one of the bad habits of a gambler, not every gambler, but many gamblers. It's not just the one last deposit behavior, but also the "I leave just enough and withdraw some." I do this many times, in the past, but I changed my POV. Leaving some funds will just lead to a losing streak for those funds. It's like the money left was poisoned, and it will not win until it's all depleted. The best way to do it is to withdraw them all and just deposit a fresh one.

So, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

Doing the last chance to win back thing is a bad idea for me, it never worked out and it could even push the gambler further into debt or overspending of your balance or budget on just a single seating.

This thing happened to me before, when I used to receive my payment into my casino account then, I could hardly get any money out of my balance, I kept using everything before I realised that the approach of not quitting when on a bad streak is eating my bankroll up each week.

If you are a gambler who wants to continue betting after you have used up your budget because you want to recover, you are chasing losses. And it has been said again and again here that loss chasing is a dangerous trap. How do you think you would win the next bet after you had lost several bets?

I am sometimes tempted to keep trying one more time, but with my years of experience, I know that there is no certainty that I would win. It has also been my culture never to fund my gambling account from any source after my gambling budget is used up.

Several responses point to the same conclusion: that he’s actually chasing his losses. And in the end, if you do that, even if you win a big prize, it won’t feel like much because of all the losses you’ve racked up during the session. On the other hand, if you go home, come back another day, start fresh, and win, you’re more likely to enjoy it and cash out.

The last deposit always gives you a false sense of security in the beginning as you see your balance straighten up again only to continue chasing loses which is a big mistake. When big loses are happening depositing more won't help you at all simply because you are not playing calmly, your nerves are tense and decision making is not the strongest point of any individual under such circumstances. Best is to quit gambling and calm down, stay a few days without gambling and try again after one week or so, I usually try every weekend as people are more chilled during non working days.

[Charles-Tim]

I feel that too in my experienced but I can control my minds by not doing "one last deposit" as I have bad experienced before. If I losing money, I will not continue gambling but stopping before everything change. I don't want to have another bad experience by deposit more money.

The fact is that as the person loses money already and deposit another money, the money used to bet again will be lost faster. If he continues, the rate he is going to lose all his money will be fast. It can get to the point he will not be depositing the money anymore but just deposit all the money he has on the gambling site and he will lose the money very fast because he is gambling with emotions. This is a very bad habit that many gamble need to avoid for it not to cause gambling addiction.

[Ishicryptic]

If you don't have a strategy for responsible gambling and be disciplined to stick by it then you should know that you will be driven by emotions to make irrational decisions, gambling needs for you to have defined strategy. This means that self control is not doing what will lead to irresponsible gambling, this is very important, if you make it a rule not to exceed your gambling budget and never to chase loses you will be a better gambler. It is possible not to get trapped in taking a revenge at the casino for taking all your money, you need to learn how to let go after every loses, let every new bet to be because you want to continue not that you want to recover loses.

from my personal experience a few years ago, i feel it's very difficult to stop when losing. this is because human psychology is more likely to feel disappointed when losing $10 in gambling than spending $20 on groceries. the brain needs a return from gambling because it wants to gain a profit. it's not like buying goods or food, the return is a product, not profits so no reason to chase anything from product.

when i lose in gambling, without getting anything back, my brain starts to think "if i hadn't gambled, i would still have my money.", i know i was regretting when gamble, but the funny thing is, after this thought, the brain just starting to think about "maybe with one more deposit, to get back what i lost before." of course this just a trap, its a lie!. 1 depo turns into 2 or 3, and in the end i only stop when i have nothing left.

this is where discipline plays a crucial role. good discipline, control, and risk management are the best choices, but it's not easy. i often try to chase my losses, and for me, the only way to stop is by limiting my access to transfer money. only then can i stop thinking about "one last deposit."

i believe this happens not only to me but also to a lot of people here. even though they talk about "control yourself" in the comments, in reality, some of them also unable to stop when lose and keep making more deposits. then, after losing everything, they come back to the forum and give suggestions like "you have to control your gambling activity."

everything can happen behind the screen. but this can be a lesson to learn, never follow your brains when losing, if you are trying to do one more deposit, you are ready to losing more money. because no guarantee because of you are making more deposit, you will win, only the lucky gambler that achieve that. if you are unlucky gambler,  you will end up with lose all of your money from several times you are making deposit.

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

Unfortunately, whether their bet will be their last or not depends entirely on the gambler's will. If they simply lie to themselves about "the last time" and top up their deposit every time, it will be their downfall. Lying to yourself is the worst thing you can do; it's better to lie to others. Because in such a case, the gambler compromises their conscience and will be held accountable to themselves. Therefore, it's essential to be in harmony with yourself and not lie to yourself to avoid self-control issues in gambling.

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

Lol, but yes, I'm one of those guilty gamblers who says that it's the last one but when I lost and got that feeling of near hit or near miss, I instantly deposit until I lost everything. So what I do is that I will try to limit then, I will deposit the remaining to let's say my wife's wallet before everything was swept by the casinos because of that kind of mindset and attitude.

So at times if I lost everything, there's no more depositing last because I don't have the money and it's in the control of my wife now. At least I snap in time because there were crazy night that I will deposit after that lost until I don't have the control anymore.

Investing in the savings of someone that you love is a highly right choice to avoid losing what you have to save. A person who easily gets entangled by the desire to add more capital to gambling requires an external assistance in order to stop this vice. Yes, it is a fact stressful nights tend to make common sense lessen with an extremely destructive inquisitiveness set out as a gut replacement. The most sure protector to heavy regrets in the morning is to leave your wallet with your partner. It is paramount to live within the bounds of the self in order to live a peaceful life.

True, to combat this kind of action, a person must let it go.  Letting go of the losses frees us from revenge gambling.  It also lessen our greed for money and also help us to maintain calmness.

when i lose in gambling, without getting anything back, my brain starts to think "if i hadn't gambled, i would still have my money.", i know i was regretting when gamble, but the funny thing is, after this thought, the brain just starting to think about "maybe with one more deposit, to get back what i lost before." of course this just a trap, its a lie!. 1 depo turns into 2 or 3, and in the end i only stop when i have nothing left.

Maybe this kind of internal tormoil happen because the gambler gambles the money he can't afford to lose.  When the person is not ready part with something, there is always this linger of regret and the wants to take back what is lost.

this is where discipline plays a crucial role. good discipline, control, and risk management are the best choices, but it's not easy. i often try to chase my losses, and for me, the only way to stop is by limiting my access to transfer money. only then can i stop thinking about "one last deposit."

Limiting your access to transfer money, isn't that discipline? Discipline does not come easy if the person is not used to it.  If he is used to acting freely and without restraint, it will be hard for him to implement self-discipline.  Without discipline, one can't implement effective risk management specifically on the cash flow.

i believe this happens not only to me but also to a lot of people here. even though they talk about "control yourself" in the comments, in reality, some of them also unable to stop when lose and keep making more deposits. then, after losing everything, they come back to the forum and give suggestions like "you have to control your gambling activity."

I think it is normal to see scenario like this.  A person doing the opposite of what he is speaking, after all if his gambling activity is not shown in public, he can say whatever he wanted about gambling controls and self-discipline despite he, himself does not practice it.  

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

No, because I know I won't be able keep myself to implement such one last deposit.

Luckily I avoid situations like these by limiting myself from spending too much funds. I decide before casino session how much I am willing to spend and I'm not going over that amount. I also limit the amount of time that I'm willing to spend to avoid spending whold day playing games at casino.

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

No, I’m not. Same as others, I have a limited bankroll. And I even do budgeting. The budgeting that I do is not perfect or strict, but I actively monitor my finances through an app. I have an entertainment budget, and I use this portion for things that entertain me and make me happy. For me, gambling is entertainment. If I start chasing the money, then it’s not entertainment anymore.

The same thing happens when I play competitive games (I play eFootball mobile). When I lose, I feel like the opponent is just lucky. Maybe I could win if blah blah blah… then I do the “one more game.” At that point, I start thinking, why am I chasing losses so much? It’s just a game. It should be a way to release stress, not add more stress. Then I simply stop.

The pain is still there after losing, but the more I think about the reason I play the game, as time passes, it just becomes a normal day like usual. I’m not trying to sound wise here, that’s just how my mind works for now.

Tracking expenditure via an application is a clever step to being sure that money on necessities is not wasted by the temporary bells. A person who is able to relax and see entertainment as a means of counteracting stress will certainly lighten up when the outcomes are not as expected. It is a fact that all you can do when angry is to insist on playing when in fact you should not have been pressed down to the very last bit into that mental tension.

I am sure that just the ability to quit when emotions begin to develop is a good testimony to high and active self controlling forces. And it is much more valuable to keep the original idea of remaining happy than merely pursue an imaginary winning streak.

[Rruchi man]

If you really want to maintain control, you need to stop giving yourself a free pass.

The last deposit you said you were going to make should be the last deposit you make because if you keep saying "one last deposit," it is always going to be one more deposit after the last and it will keep going.

Discipline is not allowing yourself to make another deposit no matter the urge; that should be the practice.

[Anayochukwu]

This "one more deposit" can only work for the lucky gamblers, so it's better to just quit totally for the day if not you are going to lose more money. Of course gamblers always cover up their irresponsible behavior and claim that they are gambling responsibly while they have been losing a lot of money. To be honest I don't think they are doing the right thing to themselves because there is no way a gambler can make a living through gambling so it's good to be safe and stop when you are not on the lucky side.

[SFR10]

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

Considering that I strongly believe this is the perfect recipe for disaster, I'll never chase losses with "one last deposit" and IMO, casual sports bettors who only place bets on interesting games can easily have this under their control ^{[partially has something to do with the time it takes to analyze different stuff]}.

[bitLeap]

so, are you one of those gamblers who keeps doing "one last deposit" or not?

Occasionally I still do it, especially when my wallet balance is slightly higher than usual. However I’ve found a few ways to manage the urge to “deposit again and again.”
Previously I would use all my funds for a single deposit. Now I divide it into 2, 3, or even 5 separate deposits. For example if I have $30 to bet for the day, I split it into 5–6 deposits, meaning each transaction is only around $5.

[viljy]

The desire to win back your lost money is quite normal. It's only abnormal if it turns into an obsession and the person wants to win at all costs. It's actually not that hard to control yourself. In any case, it is much more difficult for drug addicts and smokers to give up their addictions than it is for a gambler to limit himself a little.

[Somegory]

If you already choose gambling I am sorry to tell you that you aren't escaping it any time soon, so it's a complete deceive if you believe that one last deposit will fix your problem.

Why can't people focus on risking what they can lose? It's clear that gambling can make you win or lose, there are two sides to the results that gambling can give you, it's irresponsibly if you only think about the win side.

The biggest problems that people get in gambling starts from the money they choose to risk, they mostly don't have the gut to lose the money, and that's fine but the problem is they also don't want to reduce the amount to what they can actually afford to lose.
