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

[Dunamisx]

Nobody will be gambling and uses his money to do so, giving his quality time at the same time, applying is mental reasoning as well to gamble and end up losing, it could only shows his incapacitation to set up a game and be successful in it, which shows a little way of being undermined on how we could perform and be accurate in our decision, this is why many feels bad or depressed if they lose in gambling because it's not the money they are losing but they are ability to get the right decision done and achieving their goal.

I don’t blame anyone who get depressed after losing for some long , even if we gamble for entertainment their is still small expectations for us to win something, everyone  wish is to also win, so if it’s not happening there is every tendency of emotions being involved, I could remember when I didn’t win for close to a year , I was so sad , that I normally tell myself that I have been so unlucky for too long , so it’s normal to feel that way it’s not only about the amount but our mindset does a lot of work for us .

You are not just losing but you are on a losing streak and this could be more depressing, human nature do appears in such a manner we tend to respond to anything we are not in line with, no one will be saying what you value to do falling outside and without taking a serious concern over it, something must definitely be wrong for someone to be losing on a streak in gambling, it is either you are not getting the right strategy to play your game or you are not that sensitive enough to have the experience or what it takes to play.

Well, you are not wrong and its very hurtful for one to lose in a streak without winning a single bet, but people ought to be aware of all these already because its already said that people should not only expect wins all the time but also hope for losses, as it will help to keep their emotions in check kos having the mindset that losing are abound to happen, the best for them as they will find it easy to protect themselves from situations they can't exercise self-control.

Actually, what do one expect to happen when they are in a losing streak, and sincerely that's human nature and even the strongest people will still feel hurt, as the feelings is there but for the sake of their peace, they are to teach their brains to always be ready for everything at anytime, as its the best strategy for them to avoid any form of being trapped in addiction, but they will have to adjust or change every step that will keep them to make gambling more interesting and fun to play with it.

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?

It depends on the player and it's case to case. There are some people where even if they use their 1%-5% income,  they still get depressed when losing since some of them might think that "If I bought this or that, instead of gambling it, that would be better" the thing is they can't fully accept that they lose and move one that's why people get depressed, if it's a money they can really afford to lose, it won't be that hard to accept it if it was gone but knowing a lot of players personally (sometimes including me), usually it's either we're out of the budget or we really can't just afford to lose that money that's why they get depressed.

Losing streaks are normal in gambling, but when a gambler starts to go through this phase, most of the times, it’s usually an indicator that the gambler is already allowing their emotions to start controlling their emotions, rather than strategy and discipline. When the losses continues, for many gamblers, all road leads to recovering their losses quickly, which is more of an emotionally backed up decision and of course, this usually leads to even more mistakes. Which is exactly why it’s important for every gambler to apply discipline and an effective bankroll management approach in every situation they find themselves.

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?

You must be emotionless not to feel affected after multiple losses and this is because losing is not something you get used to no matter how self controlled you could be. Every loss whether planned or unplanned would always get to you, mostly in situation where you are out of control and your emotions got the best of you; and in that situation you blew everything up.

Do you expect someone in this state to act like its a normal thing? Definitely not, because nobody gets used to losing, and if the purpose of gambling was to lose why then would you gamble? Whatever percentage used was to make more profits and not to blow up the whole money, so its justified when they feel depressed under any circumstances.

In my opinion, there are two main reasons why a player will feel or fall into depression if they are experiencing losses, one of the reasons are; if the person is playing with the money that they can not afford to lose, they will feel depressed when experiencing a losing streak. Secondly reason, if a player is desperately in need of the money that they are expecting to win, the losses will cause depression for them because they have already booked what they were supposed to do with the money.

That's why someone must not take gambling as a source of income and also not gamble with the amount they can not afford to lose.

Gambling messes with your emotions if you cannot let go of your losses. Any gambler that is depressed because he's on a losing streak has been chasing his losses to the point that he must have borrowed money to gamble or have gambled with every penny on him. The difficult thing in gambling is to stop the game and the right time and be in control of your emotions.

Don't take gambling personal and don't see it as the only means you have to become rich in order to avoid some unhealthy gambling practices.

I agree with you because once gambling start affecting someone emotionally the thinking of such person won't be clear and again bad decisions can increase. Alot of people don't really lose control just because of one bet, rather they can't accept the losses and move on. Another very important thing is to know that gambling is supposed to remain as entertainment, not a guaranteed source of income or a survival plan because the moment you depend on it financially or emotionally, the chances of turning into an addict or developing unhealthy habits will increase quickly.

The problem with a lot of people is that they take too much risks, this is the reason why they end up regretting and also being sad when they are on a losing streak. I cannot get depressed after losing because I always stake amounts of money that I can afford to lose. The only time that it gets a little depressing is when I stake and end up having a cut one on a bet that I was supposed to win big from.

Emphasis on "for long"? I will feel very bad if i continue gambling for long without successfully initiating withdrawal at any point, it is a very natural reaction, no gambler will go through such without complain, either blaming the casino or blaming her strategy.

Although, depression is a big word to make use of in this context, I rather interchange the word with unhappy, as worse as it get's, I strongly know it won't negatively affect how i go about my daily activities, especially how i relate with those around.

I think that's part of their plan of how much they're going to gamble. So if ever they're going to lose money from their bets, it won't be a big thing if it's planned. What makes them depressed is about the frustration of losing. Trust me, when you've been losing a lot, you won't think how disciplined you are but it's all about the revenge you want to take back those losses badly.

It's easier to say that people should gamble with a lesser percentage of their earnings, but do they actually keep that advice? Someone who is on a streak of losing is not as a result of them gambling with a limited amount; that's just them not being lucky and also not being in control enough to stop when necessary, and those who feel depressed like you described them because of their losing streak are the ones who don't plan enough for themselves before they start gambling; the amount they spend exceeds more than they can let go.

[Agbe]

If gamblers are for profit making purpose they will have the depression but if they are for entertainment purpose as they said, losing streak should not bother them instead they should be happy and move on. Gamblers for entertainment are not up to 1% in the industry because nobody will be happy when losing. Aside that, we are all human and has flesh. So if something negative happened to us, it would pain us and in that moment it would make us sober and that is where the depression comes in.

If people are depressed gambling it means they shouldn't be gambling anymore. Gambling was supposed to be fun, and if it's not fitting that role, it must be disconsidered immediately. People feeling depressed mean they are spending more money and time than they should with gambling, or that gambling isn't entertaining for them as hobby. Therefore, they should seek for another activities which make them feel satisfied and which proportionate them a good time.

[riscohen4]

People who become depressed during lossing streak have two things in common. They are attached emotionally to that money and that money is not just any money, it could be their last money or money meant for something very important.
But even if you set aside money for gambling or money you can obviously afford to lose, repeated losses will surely affect you. That's why one should know when to stop.
It's best gambling becomes entertainment rather adding much value to it. Cause there's no way you would spend the whole day being entertained, you will still like to get to work and get things done.
Expectations of how your gambling should go can also cause depression if it doesn't go like that. Be unattached generally to things and feel less depressed about them.

Losing streak have a way to damage confidence, motivation and also mental health. With things, gamblers will enter a state were they question their skills in gambling. Gambling also affects people differently. May not be necessarily depression.

First of all, gambling as a source of entertainment is usually considered only by rich people. We middle-class people gamble to earn some extra income. Yes, we gamble with the extra money we have, but at the end of the day, it’s still our money, so we feel depressed when we experience a losing streak. Therefore, everyone should gamble responsibly with proper risk management. In this way, losing streaks can be reduced, and we will feel less stressed and depressed.

The value of mental health is much more than spending money gambling. Grief is more likely to be the case when a hobby can save you, and quitting is the best solution. The joy that has been lost in life can be regained by directing your energy towards other good hobbies. Personal happiness and peaceful existence must be recovered everyday as the first matter of concern.

I'm not playing for money anymore, but I also feel depressed after a long losing streak. It's just being human, but I can shrug it off after a few days. Gambling is a game of uncertainty; most of the time, our expectations, which are already high, do not materialize, and this will cause depression.
The most important thing is that you can overcome it and stick to your allocation.
