We are smart, but stupid if we lose.

[Moreno233]

When it is time for you to lose,  I mean when luck is not on your side, there is nothing you can di to stop the loss from happening. Even if you stop, when you resume it will continue until your fate changes and you begin to win. What will only save you at is properly bank roll management such that you will be able to withstand the losses and not despair.  Losses can be painful especially when it occurs after some good wins which is why bankroll management is one if the greatest skill to have.

Why can many of us not recognize that we are already losing? Instead of stopping, we still continue until we lose everything we have, not only our bankroll but sometimes we even go beyond that. We even think of stupid decisions like depositing again, and this time not to win anymore but just to try to win back our losses.

Most gamblers will feel the same way and this condition occurs because we always lose control of ourselves properly so that the emotions in gambling are carried away in the decisions we make which end up with us being stupid because we are not aware of the traps that have naturally occurred when we gamble.

Decisions based on emotions always don't end well but we can't control that when we lose and we always follow our passions without thinking about the rationality that we should keep.
This is why sometimes many gamblers who claim to be responsible don't even do what they are supposed to do because of their narrow minded decisions on their emotions.

Have you experienced that? We are not crazy, we understand what we are doing but there are times, especially when losing, that we become foolish. We get reckless and just bet and bet, hoping we can recover but what is driving us is only our emotion because we are not thinking clearly.

I experienced this, the last time I remember my biggest loss was around $1,000 more or less.

We become crazy at that point that when we're so desperate. That smartness that's within us is gone when all we have left is emotion.

High emotions tend to lose the right thinking and even we want to stop as soon as we're incurring so much losses. There's something in our brains that tells us to do it.

That's because we can't accept that defeat that we should take on that day so, we continue to gamble and try hard to recover.

this is what taking fate in gambling actually means. When you know that in gambling what works the most is not even your gambling skills or smartness but the luck you get from the game, it makes you even more of a grateful person and you don't chase profits here and there, you take your time to introspect your wins it loses in the bets. Gambling has a rule most of us don't follow, it's number one rule is for you not to follow the juice in it and get carried away without checking your excessiveness gambling until the point you most have used all your funds and become strangled the you will realize that you need to gamble responsibly. The second rule is always accept the nature of gambling which lies on luck and that luck can be turned to opposite, he will nearly suffer

[Agbamoni]

I agree with your first statement. Most times the losses we get is out of our own foolishness. Things we say we won’t do anymore will be the thing we see ourselves doing. I think this is the limitation of humans. We easily fall for negative decisions even after knowing that what we choose to do have a negative consequences on us.

[JahriMeayer]

I also experienced something Similar. Such thing happened when losses affect our emotions directly more than our logic. That's why when some people are winning, they feels confident & relaxing but when they are about to losing, often believe that one more bet will save them or change everything. Instead of accepting the loss, they start depositing more or stake the full available balance on it. That is when discipline disappears & emotions take  the full control. Afterwards Then the desire to recover money becomes so stronger than the desire to make good decisions. Unfortunately, such act  often leads to even bigger losses. So better to setting a strict loss limit, enjoy the ride and walking away once it finished.

what causes this you are talking about is life of understanding gambling and also greediness is one of the major things that make a gambler to continue gambling why there are losing in gambling, but experience gambler cannot hesitate to stop gambling when it noticed that is losing more than benefiting, some of the gamblers, does not stop in gambling until they recover what they have lost so as I said that greediness is one the things that make gamblers not to stop gambling why losing

[Bitcoin.com97]

The solution is just to have a budget ,and work towards it , winning comes with a different feeling that is why once you won ,one begans to feel smart , intelligent, without knowing is just luck,and the luck cannot always be on your side ,that is one of the reasons that most gamblers feel they are on top of the world ,but once theyvstart losing ,they unknowningly spend more than their expectations without realizing it ,but if one is working on bankroll,and discipline their self ,there will always be a limit to all this accessive gambling or chasing of their loses and win .

We can't run away from losing in gambling and a a matter of fact losing is the fundamental aspect in gambling that we need to make adequate plans for, some gamblers take losing as something o negative, forgetting that gambling is more of losing than winning ultimately.


Some times all that need is to prepare to face the loses and mentain a standing point which changes the way thoe loses impact on us.

[Ziskinberg]

But no matter how smart we are, that will not prevent us from an inevitable loss in gambling. However, its a different story for an obviously stupid gambler who still continue gambling despite of a huge loss, hoping that a big win will cover everything.

But the problem is, there are no guarantees winning big after a huge loss, so there's no point of tolerating yourself to never stop gambling. Some might be lucky and able to recover their losses, but majority have only drown to debt because exiting from gambling seems very hard to do because once they exit, losses will remain losses forever.

The worse of it is to gamble with your last funds on you hoping to double your funds and you end up losing it even when you know that's the last money on you. People go at extreme lengths to take loans just to chase their losses which is unethical.
Knowing the right time to stop the game and call it a day is the best because it shows that you have self control and that will help you be in control of your emotions. Gamble a d enjoy the fun instead, if gambling and regret your actions.

Losing brings out the worst side of people because they become a different person than when they are winning, people that are losing will do anything possible to try to win again and this might involve doing things that might not be ethical for them that is why losing gamblers are one of the most destructive people ever. As a gambler you have to be disciplined so that when you are losing you don't overreact and make things worse for others around you. You should be able to calm through your anger so that you don't do anything that you might regret when you are in your right senses because gambling should be something we do as a form of entertainment and not something that destroy others around us.

It’s a game, you can always hope to win, There id always a side to it which it that you are gambling against and that’s the house. When you lose, the other option you are left with is trying again and it’s not entirely because you enjoy gambling but, you would be making predictions in the sports you enjoy the most. That comes with some thrill of its own and most of all, having a stake on it for a bet and could get rewards or count yet another loss for yourself makes the thrill a little exciting when you aren’t gambling more than you could afford to loss.

Being a gambler that refuses to quit could be rewarding to some profit of big magnitude and to some loss in big magnitude,but the most rewarding part of all is to be attentive to gambling in a disciplined manner, understand and knowledge the importance of risk management practices which of course includes financial management, emotional control and finding balance.
Besides this, it is quite impossible to outdo the bookmakers who are more equipped and regularly upgrade their systems and also have their terms of service all in their favor.

I realize that it is always very difficult to stop gambler because of the hope that will win again. The excitement of how sports event will turn out is great and difficult to resist. It should be borne in mind that money limits represent the final protection. And do not allow a curiousness to lay waste to what is valuable in you, but so far as it concerns betting, it has to little, harmless sport.

[Perfectbaby]

I haven’t seen myself in that condition for long now after I realised how gambling should be done without extremely being greedy or having to chase down what I have already lost initially. I have some adjusted rules and principles I have for myself currently which I noticed is actually working for me the way I planned it for myself.

What you should also know about gambling is that, the more you are trying to prove to casino that you must recover what you initially lose the more it’s become more difficulty for you to restore back what you lost, so the best is after losing at the initial stage, do not fight it just stop and continue the next gambling session it could be 2 days time or whenever you were able to reallocate your gambling budget then you continue only then you could be lucky enough to win back what you lost days ago.

[mirakal]

Who has actually normalized this thinking that the moment we lose, we are now stupid gamblers. Of course, we can't guarantee winning from gambling because the edge is often on the house, and that leaves us having to be beaten and experience losses in the long run.

But I don't mean to say that its okay to lose forever or its okay to experience massive losses, everyone should be responsible enough to set betting limits, and once its all lost, then its time to leave gambling.

We all know this, and we should act that way. Unfortunately, a lot still fall on the trap and still believe that winning is guaranteed after having so much losses.

[HelliumZ]

People often lose their last money by gambling because they are overly emotional and greedy. Some people think that if they survive gambling till the end, they will make a profit, so many gamblers continue to gamble till the end. Sometimes, when emotions are intense, people lose their common sense, and as a result, they do not have the common sense to know when and how to stop themselves from gambling. I have seen many gamblers who cannot think about how to get themselves out of gambling. People can suffer from cerebral hypnosis while gambling, and as a result, they cannot think about anything other than gambling.

[Sonia_123]

That is the spirit of gambling that must always push you to losses. The reason why most time we fail to recognize our failure earlier until we end up losing big or emptying our funds before we realized it is due to greed, we want to get all our past funds we have lost in gambling which we know it's not possible.

Also the ability not to withstand our present loss is the driving force of not being able to withdraw which is being controlled by our emotions that leads us to more losses.

[Orpichukwu]

It's not as easy as we mostly treat it for some gamblers; there are those who could easily lose it as a result of them not being able to accept loss. When they are losing, they can't stop themselves from not gambling again. They have this hope of recovery if they continue gambling and don't stop; the hope is alive and keeps pushing them until nothing is left to gamble again. Lack of continuity and not having anything is being stupid.

[DPHOR]

I experienced this, the last time I remember my biggest loss was around $1,000 more or less.

I have not allocated 200$ to gamble before and of course what I do gambling with is just my 10 percent of my weekly income so Tell me how possible I should be trapped of funding my account just to make sure I restore what I had loss while gambling?
This is not possible and likely to happen because you as a gambler there is no responsible gambling there because for allowing yourself to get trapped by the gambling site is something you shouldn't do as a gambler and gambling with caution is what that is more better off. I know that most people apply greed while gambling that is why they often ends up becoming a victim to that.
