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

[Somto9Light]

That's for sure, these people risk so much than what they could have afford to lose and when they finally lose the money, they get depressed, I am trying to remember the case of a player who won a huge amount and didn't withdraw the money but kept gambling just to see if he can multiply the money but on the process, he entered a losing streak and lost all those wins, that was how he was depressed. There was also a case of someone that fainted because his game cut while he was also at the verge of winning a huge amount. So, there are several reasons that could get one depressed.

This here is the exact reason why emotional control and discipline is an essential element that every gambler should have if they’re to gamble safely. The reason why many gamblers feel depressed isn’t really because they lost their bet, but because they’ve either lost money they didn’t plan or prepare to lose, or they just lost money they have already counted as theirs. The moment that a gambler stays being greedy, it becomes easier to chase losses and for what started off as excitement to turn into frustration, depression or even health problems.

When a gambler keeps losing his hard-earned money, it is natural for him to get depressed. It is not possible to earn money as easily as it is to lose money by gambling. Money has to be earned through hard work from some other source and when gamblers keep losing money in gambling, they remember their previous hard work and cannot stop gambling thinking that they have already lost a lot of money here and they gamble more and more to recover this money.

I would say only few people gamble for entertainment, and majority of the gamblers, gamble for profit, so even when a gambler is using very small percentage of his or her income doesn't mean they would be happy having long term loosing streak. The mind of every gambler is to make profit, even though some persons gamble for fun, so when you loose money for a long term, you will definitely feel depressed because you must be expecting profit by this time, and whereas your expectations are no longer met, you feel discouraged. Long term loosing streak can make a gambler feel bad, as for me, it makes me stay away from gambling for sometime.

Of course, its painful for one to lose in a streak, even though they bet their game with a small amount of money, at least its still money and considering how hard it is for one to earn money, will make them to feel depressed. But, if gamblers control themselves, there will be no time they hard to gamble in a streak, maybe they can game once or twice and if the game is not moving, then they walk away. Some gamblers are the cause why they are in a situation of hurting their emotions and that is why its better for one to know what to do when they are gambling, as it matters alot.

Betting when one cannot afford to, will definitely cause extreme psychological disturbances. And the loss of the false impression of losing all their bank roll to avarice is a lesson to any gambler. Taking away profits in times of victory is a good strategy, securing the future of one against financial disaster. Mental strength in being stable in budget makes one avoid falling into depression.

Walking away from gambling is important, even though they might be winning, its still important to know when to stop or walk away, most gamblers don't have the ability to control their minds, they gamble with the intention that they will win and this mindset of theirs often lead them into destruction and mental distress, because they failed to gamble with what they can afford to lose and choose to maintain responsible gambling.

I think the reason for disappointment is not just the amount of money but expectations. If someone really plays just for fun then they can easily accept small losses but most people play with the hope of winning somewhere, so it is natural to feel bad if they lose for a long time.  Suppose someone is playing with 2 percent of their income per month, the amount is not a problem for them but if they keep losing for a month, then they will feel like they are not getting any results, So many times disappointment comes more from unfulfilled expectations than from money.

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?

Not every gambler complies with the percentage you're making reference to that every gambler should at least be using for their gambling out of their weekly or monthly salary. This is as a result of a weak or total lack of discipline which the gambler is known with and as a result he can't control how much he has to spend each time he goes on to gamble. Some gamblers actually burn half of their income for the week, hence, the feeling of depression and sadness about the loss because it wasn't what they could afford to lose.

Yes, most gamblers suffer from a lack of discipline. Initially, a gambler starts gambling for entertainment. He gambles using a certain amount of money as his weekly or monthly allowance. But gradually, seeing the amount of winnings of other gamblers, he starts gambling to recover his losses. And when he loses from the weekly or monthly allowance, he starts gambling to recover his losses. At some point, they start gambling irresponsibly, as a result of which they become addicted. Being addicted and unable to control their emotions, gamblers often lose one-third or the entire amount of their income in bets. This makes them even more frustrated. They get stuck in a kind of losing cycle.

Let's keep the gambling and money away, now look at something like you are an athlete and you participate in many races but fail in every race you participate in, where you didn't lose any money, but why are you going into depressed mode?

Humans are not happy when they are losing so even if they lose the money they can afford still the constant losing will kind of make them feel bad, but we really can't do anything when it happens because the results of every bet is purely driven by luck aka the randomness.

Actually people don't feel depressed because of a losing streak, rather people feel depressed because they gambled uncontrollably. For example, they spent beyond their ability to lose and lost, which basically put them in a money crisis and at the same time it seems that they have gone under debt. And if these things happen to people, then it is not unusual for them to feel depressed.

So I think in the case of gambling, our staking amount should be as much as we can afford to lose, as you have already mentioned, one to five percent is quite good because it will not put us in stress or depression if we lose.

Depression is often associated with finances and anyone lose wouldn't be that happy for any reason but what to do is that, you must learned to control your anger or better still know how to rule and control your emotions while gambling because if you are on long losing streak you would feels very bad for that.
But when you gamble with the amount you can afford to lose it wouldn't affect you for any day because you know that such amount would never come back to you again and even if such comes back it's like an addendum to you to fuel your feelings towards gambling.

Normal to feel that state is its not really good experience to deal with losing streak, for sure you will think lots of situation happened and sometimes you point out maybe there's problem with the casino you are playing or you just made a mistake for deciding to continue while you are having a bad day.

Also that depressed state will also occur if it happens the gamblers exceed on their limitation and use the amount what they can afford to lose. I experience many episode like this and see many people went in bad shape facing that scenario. That's why we should learn from those incident and try to have better decision the way how we deal gambling sites to avoid such situations.

Exactly, it is actually very normal to feel depressed if they are on loosing streak, because the last time I checked, money is not leave and they have to work very hard for it. Gambling with the amount you can afford to lose doesn't mean that you shouldn't be sad about your loss. But it mean that amount that you will not feel total when lost, and it will not affect you financially. But you don't have to frustrate yourself to the extent that you will develop some health issues.

It's more about whether someone is responsible or not, that's what determines whether they will be depressed or not when experiencing a losing streak, but on the other hand when someone experiences more losses than wins in the long run it also can't be said that they are gambling with the amount of money they can afford to lose, it could be that one of the reasons why they keep playing is because they are trying to recover to get back everything they have lost, so when a gambler persists for a long time even though they are losing we can't assume that they are playing with money they can afford to lose.

If you are gambling with what you cant afford to lose, then you going to feel bad if you are on a long losing streak, or maybe gambling is your only source of income, you don’t have any other thing doing, if their is a continues loss, then they going to be depressed because that’s their only source of income, they have to win just for them to be able to survive. If you gambling for fun, and you have other sources of income, even if there is a continues loss you not going to be affected. 

If you observe a continuous loss when you are gambling, it’s just better you take a break from gambling, because I will say it’s just the best, it shouldn’t even get to the level that you going to be depressed.

They feel like that because it wasn't their intention and overconfidence has taken over their emotions, no one feels happy when losing but the ability to control your emotions when losses comes .
Some gamblers spend more than what they can afford to lose to gamble in other to earn more money which is not right because gambling wins are not guaranteed.

Making money is and has never been easy; that's why you need to think about your decision before you embark on it. You don't have to gamble with money above what you can spare out of your salary, and you also don't need to be gambling often if you want to remain under healthy gambling practices. Those who don't gamble with less money are the ones who get easily drained emotionally because they can't afford to lose what was risked, and they are among those who can easily start chasing losses.

Having many losses can leave people feeling discouraged; creating frustration and even disappointment
Over time, a losing streak can increase stress and self-doubt which can make gambling not fun any more.

Easy to feel depressed on a losing streak cuz.  Its when gambling is finally worse than waiting at the DMV plus losing in one of your first sports games 10x because its just such a defeating feeling. You want to win and sometimes you lose and lose a lot. I personally think that the point which people stop gambling has to do with pride.

This has been discussed alot of times. Depression in gambling is as a result of risking more than they can afford to lose. It's a something that has to be discussed properly so that gamblers would not fall victims. If we actually go by gambling us for fun, it will help us reduce the fact that when we make loses it doesn't affect us that much. But when you are gambling to make profits, every lose would feel like a bullet wound to your chest. 

Yea, you are 100% right about this because in all my experience in gambling, I have never ran into trouble when I gamble with what I can afford to lose, it is mostly when I gamble with what I cannot afford to lose that it affects not just my financial state, but also my mental health. So it's a bad practice that should be avoided because addiction is real, and the major cause of it during gambling is by gambling with more than you can afford to lose.
We should kill that notion of seeing gambling as a means of making money, because by seeing it that way, you are likely going to gamble more than necessary, and might even go the extra mile of doing it with what you cannot afford to lose, which is the main cause of depression in gambling.

Depression or frustration always increases when you are always playing for money. People who do this for fun or enjoyment never take this serious even in some cases, they left gambling for some time but joined again and had their best because they were well aware this was just for some time they could go ahead better in the future.

People who are involved in gambling for money and their own needs have enough frustration or depression with this to create serious trouble in their lives because losing money always increases their problems, and they feel frustrated that this is big trouble for them and their loved ones as well.

For me there are many factors, first of all by losing a lot you don't have a release of dopamine and therefore you are lacking in dopamine, then feelings of guilt kick in, shame kicks in and many other negative factors which obviously don't make you feel happy at all.
