Why do people feels depressed if they are on losing streak?

[Accardo]

There is this temptation that comes with being sure of a game which  can make someone go so hard on the game and when such game fails, the gambler may resort to chasing losses or revenge gambling and get sunk into deeper losses and finally end in depression. A way out is maintaining a strict gambling budget that must not be exceeded.

The reward of the past puts players on the spell of moving four steps ahead of their shadow, emotions or the brain repeats repeated actions more often. For example everybody feels uncomfortable with no water for long hours, this habit results of the daily consumption of water. It won't stop, some players would have to continue this way feeling that not having a taste of gambling for the next 10 minutes could be detrimental to their mental peace. Just as a body would feel not having enough water to its disposal, it'll be so hard to talk someone out of drinking water, it's a source of living we all abide to very strongly. In a similar way gamblers have their own way of life and thoughts, which could cause the inhabitant of such thought to suffer the feeling of not surviving the urge to gamble after a certain time interval. Not a comparison, but an example.

This not something new anymore but we should be thinking why some people mostly feels that depressed while gambling especially if they are on losing streak for long, I want to know if the money they are using to gamble doesn't even comes from their mind?
Of course, as we know gambling is a game of entertainment and if you are on losing streak for long it should shows that you are gambling with what you can afford to lose so while would it affect your emotions since it is said that people are gambling with their at least 1-5% of their monthly and weekly income. Does it mean that percentage they use is not from their mind?

Seems kinda obvious and a natural human emotion that occurs from losing. People like to be right and when they are wrong they will feel sad temporarily. It is a natural instinct in all of us, that our decisions and reasoning should create the right answer, when that clashes with reality to disprove our assumption - it effectively ends in defeat. That is the most basic and underlying theory, but when you stack defeat upon defeat, which is inevitable in a heavily skewed gambling environment, then it is bound to wear down your core. If you keep on failing, then maybe you are making the wrong decisions in life and nothing is ever truer than thinking you can beat the gambling companies who make all efforts than to stack the odds against you so they can profit.

If someone is stressed out by a losing streak, even though they consider gambling just for fun, they might be lying, actually thinking about making money.
However, even though people always assume gambling is for fun, losses are still painful, only if they occur in a row and over a long period of time perhaps there's something wrong with their gambling. In my opinion, in gambling, you can lose, but you can also win. How can you possibly lose in a long period of time?

[Dreadboost]

Who is happy losing? I can't think of anyone who isn't a little upset when they lose. Even if it was only for a couple bucks you still feel a little sad when you lose. Now lose 10 in a row or 20 and all that sadness adds up. We all say only gamble what you can afford to lose, but even if you can afford it do you like to lose?

Happiness is a normal feeling in gambling, and when we lose the feeling, it is not happiness anymore, but rather sadness. I have not seen anyone who claims he is happy for losing after gambling, even if the player's intention is to gamble for fun. Those who gamble for fun want to win more often because if they keep winning, they will stay longer in the casino.

The depression in gambling is as a result of not understanding gambling or gambling with the amount of money that you can afford to lose or having so much expectation from gambling.  If you really understand gambling very well as game of risk and that cant be predicted and a game which one needs to gamble with the amount of money that can be afford to lose, i dont see why one should be depressed in gambling . The problem people normally have with gambling is that they expect a lot from it and this makes them to gamble so uch money and trying to recover it becomes a serious problem for them.

[terrific]

We don't like losing but we don't want to be called losers. I won't be happy losing so much and that's why I'm trying to prove myself through recovering what I've lost.
But that's another mistake to be made by me and of course by everyone who's been gambling for a long time.
Losing streak doesn't make us feel hardcore gamblers even the beginners who recently gambled, they won't celebrate what they've lost.
So, losing money is depressing and it's the same when we're losing the bets and no one will tell how they've lost a lot.

Yes, that is the only reason why we don't feel good after losing, specially losing big money when you started very positive that you are going to win. But once reality sets in, you are down to your last bet and it didn't return anything, then depression takes over.

The thing is that there could be gamblers that might feel that low but then was able to recover the next day. But there could be the majority that can't get over with it and will have that kind of low and negative energy in the next couple of days.

Gamblers feel depressed when they're on a losing streak because those consecutive losses affects them emotionally and it affects their mindset as well. I think these are 2 of the main reasons as to why:

1. Financial loss - Most of the gamblers aren't ready when they lose their money on gambling and because of that, they feel depressed whenever they lose. They also feel regret in their previous decisions. I've felt this as well back then, but it's good that it didn't came to a point where I need to recover my losses. Losing money can give the gambler lots of stress, can make them feel guilty of themselves, be disappointed and they can get depressed like what you said. These are possible because there's money that is involved.
2. Emotional dependence on winning - Most of the gambler have this feeling of whenever they gamble, they will win automatically, and when they lose consecutively, they will feel the frustration, hopelessness, and they'll be mentally drained as well because they want to be satisfied and the way for them to be one is thru winning, but that isn't happening at all. What they're expecting isn't what's happening to them. That makes them depressed.

I believe that there are many more, and I also believe that many here are experiencing the same as well. I just hope that you can all overcome this feeling and if it's possible for you to have a temporary rest then please do it.

Basically, humans dislike losing, and this is closely related to ego psychologically. So, humans will feel depressed when they experience defeat, especially if they experience consecutive losses. Furthermore, humans tend to become easily emotional when their plans, or hopes don't meet expectations. Therefore, a gambler should be aware of all the potential risks before starting to gamble, and should always gamble with money they can afford to lose. The tips I have mentioned are intended to avoid excessive depression in gambling, and to accept potential losses with an open heart.

Essentially, we must be wise in making decisions before undertaking anything, including gambling. A wise person is; someone who can think things through carefully, and doesn't rush into making decisions. So, try to be wise in gambling, so you can always be a responsible gambler.

A funny question and I think everyone seems to know the answer.
 
In my own opinion, why players feel depressed or frustrated when experiencing a losing streak is because losing is not something that wants to happen and does not want to be experienced, the reason people bet is to win so the defeat that occurs can make players upset, frustrated and even depressed if what happens is a losing streak.

Most of the reasons for depression in gamble is greed, expecting too much from gamble is always a big challenge that needs to be get rid of. Some gamble will likely stake a huge amount of money in the game despite several warnings about that, they will do it expecting to have a life changing opportunity through gamble, then when things didn't go as planned it becomes a very big problem to them.  Therefore the fact is clear, depending on how you go about your gambling dealings is how you will be treated , if you're too expecting then be ready to face the consequences because you won't like it.

I think most of you misunderstand what it means to use money you can afford to lose, just because a person can afford to lose something doesn't actually mean they want to lose it, regardless of how small it might be that money is still your hard earned money and you just lost it and not just that but you are losing it continuously since you are on a losing streak, it might not be much but a loss is a loss and it affects the person just as much.

Money is the most emotional thing in the world because there is no alternative to living in the world. Whatever you do, you will need money and when you gamble, even if you enjoy the fun, you must have a purpose there, you will withdraw the amount of money you deposit there with profit. On the other hand, wherever you bet, your attitude will be to win. Because winning is the only success here. So when you keep losing continuously while gambling, it will definitely hurt your emotions and you will fall into depression. This does not happen only to you, it happens to everyone, even though you prepare yourself to accept losses while gambling, when you keep losing continuously, you will definitely get depressed. Because at that time you will not be able to control your emotions and brain.

what you should know is that some people start gambling with the amount they can afford to lose in the beginning, but as time goes on they get depressed after they have started losing. in the initial stage they can start gambling with small amount but as they keep gambling they start increasing the bankroll higher and higher till they lose more than their expectation, and no man will lose too much and you expect them to be happy. its a normal thing for almost every gambler.

Yes, money does have value or something we can considered to be the most important thing yet we wont be able to buy, nor survive or gain up something without having money on which it would be understandable that once we do lose money then there would really be such reaction and this is something that wont be surprising. Now that we are dealing up with gambling then it would be understandable that there would be tons of money on which you would lost on which considering that this is really that for the sake of fun and entertainment and you are dealing against house having a house edge that means that you would be losing over time. Therefore, the best approach or thing on here is that you should really be that only spending into the amount that you can afford to lose so that you wouldnt be ending up on having that frustration or stress once you do gamble. You should accept those loses from the start so that you wont be finding yourself that being impulsive.

Is there anyone that would be happy when they're constantly losing? I don't think so. If I lose once but used a spare cash for the game i won't feel bad but when it's something that happens too often then it's worth being sad even though I'm not too sad because I've been using my spare money I'll still be sad to an extent.
 However my level of sadness would only lead to depression if I use money outside my spare cash to gamble and it's normal for people who make such silly mistake and not someone that mostly gambles with spare money.

If you lose frequently, you're bound to feel sad and depressed. And if you lose money that affects your family budget, not only can you be considered one of these conditions, but the negative consequences will follow. I strongly recommend only gambling with spare money that won't affect your lifestyle. I've been there myself and wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's a living nightmare that feels like it lasts forever.

Psychologists also believe that gambling addiction could rewire the brain, thereby making other everyday activities uninteresting. Some of them become secluded because they derive satisfaction or joy mainly from gambling.

Gambling addiction would also inject loss of patience in real life, you would no longer want to work nor do anything that takes a while to get dividends and always will want dividends sharp and immediate, the frustration could even make them hostile and result to unethical behaviors like selling valuables, stealing or irrational indebtedness just to meet up with their gambling desires and these increases their depression level when they think about what they've lost  to their addiction.

A great deal of them no longer derive joy in the gambling, they're bitter from their consistent losses and loss of productivity, but because of their addiction struggles, their brain has been rewired to only see gambling as a way to recover their losses and make money and they keep fueling their hope that they would hit it big one day.

[DPHOR]

As we know financial loses are mostly affected to the said loser. To me it would be that better to at least have one winning that being on a losing streak for long. As you said, no one will be proud of themselves because there is lost associated to what they are doing currently. Money is money and whenever it is spent on the wrong way you would surely find very painful to lose such amount the person where budgeting to win more. Learning how to control oneself is also that important if I may say.

The fact is, almost every player who plays for a long time will experience a losing streak. It's just a matter of how they perceive it. Some will understand that losses are part of the game and will develop a strong resilience, but most will fall into a depression that will be extremely difficult to shake off, and they will try to win back their losses as quickly as possible. Therefore, self-control shouldn't be underestimated; it's better to think about and prepare for such a situation in advance, so as not to regret it too much later.

This now brings us to using a specific amount to gamble or to allocate a specific amount to gambling exercise, at least this could make someone have a total control over themselves whereby if the money they allocated got exhausted they wouldn't be that worried about it and to keep thinking about their loses instead they could accept it in a good fate and let go because they already projected to have such amount risk to gamble. Hence; there are two things involved, either you win or you lose, when you lose you have it gone, when you win then it's multiplies to your balance.

If a gambler loses most of his bets after a long period of gambling, he becomes discouraged. If the amount of losses is in proportion to the amount of winnings, a gambler does not become discouraged. If a gambler gambles beyond his financial capacity, he becomes addicted and he is responsible for that, as he feels the need to gamble excessively because of the high amount of losses.
If a gambler gambles regularly, he does not always get the same results; he may sometimes win or sometimes lose more. Gamblers get into trouble if their losses are relatively high and become a regular habit. They develop a tendency to recover money and try hard to win, but as a result, their losses increase.

So if you're bitter about someone, what do you do? stop seeing her
if you are embittered by a place, shop... simply don't go there anymore
with gambling, if you are bitter and continue to gamble, something is wrong don't you think?
otherwise we would be victims of Stockholm syndrome.
