How long does it take you to recover what you lose?

[Marykeller]

If switching games to another is the very way to recover gambling losses, I am sure your friend won't be the only one who does that; other gamblers will be applying such tactics to recover their gambling losses.

However, in the case of recovery from gambling losses, I have never heard of switching from one gambling activity to another as a better way for someone to recover their losses from gambling. I don't think switching gambling would make someone not to experience loses to the game they switch to

[knuckey]

It is impossible to recover what has been lost, your friend may be betting within normal limits so he has no hesitation in betting according to what he has lost, the greater the possibility of losing, the more difficult it is to turn things around, that is why when I gamble I do not count losses and wins

[Yorubek]

I think thinking like that is a mistake. I haven't even considered it because it's true that when we're gambling, I don't see that if I lose, I should recover that money. I thought that when I started gambling in casinos, but now with everything I've learned, I've said that the money I lose is lost because I can't be looking for revenge or recovery in gambling. It's the worst mistake you can make as a gambler.

It is true that gambling with the mindset of getting back the lost money is very risky because there is no guarantee of winning through gambling, so it is better to play with the money we can lose. When a gambler faces financial losses through gambling, naturally he becomes desperate to get back the lost money. The gambler starts gambling aggressively in the spirit of emotion, as a result, the gambler cannot maintain self-control over himself and faces financial losses. Gambling is not at all right to gamble only for entertainment, to earn money or with the main purpose of getting rich quickly.

Switching games to another doesn't bring back losses instead it will make a gambler to Loss more money.  Though I see nothing wrong if a person decide to switch games but one thing we must know is switching games can't make you recover your past loses. Personally I do switch games but not with the intention of recovering from my past losses but to experience new features,  But I stopped doing that because I found a casino that meet my requirements.

Then again asked again, how sure are you to recover from your previous loss and he said is 60/40, within me I know that is not possible because the probability is actually very poor.
However, this increases my curiosity to know whether this strategy has actually worked for you that way or is not really that possible for one to be switching in between games to recover what they had lost.

If you're a gambler yourself, you know it's not possible; he may have luck using that method, like some new gamblers using the martingale, but sooner or later he will run out of luck and lose money.

When you gamble, there's no guaranteed or certain outcome that you can win or you can regain your losses; you are left guessing what the outcome will be.
There should be no expectation of making a profit because a gambling platform is a profit-generating entity; it's not your cash cow, but the other way around.

Trying to recover losses in gambling is even more risky and may even increase the losses because there is no guarantee of recovering losses, as gambling is unpredictable. The ideology of recovering losses has put many gamblers in a terrible state because when you have the mentality of recovering losses, you may be tempted to gamble further to recover everything when you lose again. This is why it is better to just stop playing when you lose and never chase your losses.

It is better to have the mindset of gambling without expecting anything, because when you focus on recovery, you may feel too pressured to reclaim all your losses. It is better to gamble with a clear mind.

Exactly mate, it's no longer recovering of loses by then, instead it is chasing after loses. And this is what causes addiction. Initially It looks like recovering loses is another strategy to a Gambler without know that it's just another word for chasing loses, they only realize it when they have lost it all to the game and even taking loan or gambling above their expectation. It is just God to practice the habit of stopping when necessary to avoid addiction.

[Nwada001]

The longer you are trying to recover, the more you will be losing more and more and increasing the lost amount. Don't be deceived by your friend's statement; everyone in the gambling world knows fully well that you can’t make a comeback using such a strategy. It's only when you are lucky that you can be able to regain your losses, and that can’t even be under a calculated time frame.

the advices that never pursue your losses in gambling is nice, because if you are pursuing your losses that will make you to lose more in gamble and become addicted, and also make you to lose more on the process of recovering lost so far in gambling, so I am of the winner that we should gamble with what we can afford to lose so that when we lose it will not be curious to recover what we have lost.. secondly, this is not easier for someone to recover what it has lost in gambling I believe that many of us who are into gambling come attest to it

[Mate2237]

For you to get to the point of actually recovering from gambling due to your loss is a sign of addiction, which is not too good. Gambling should not get to the point where you become so emotional, at this point is no longer gambling but, it has gone to the stage of addiction. Whether you lose or lose it should not have any effects on you , that only shows that one is mature in gambling.


When it comes to com s to bern emotional factors such as amount of money used in staking is one thing that, we need to take into consideration because when a gambler use an amount that is beyond his financial threshold it hurts and begin to take an effect on the gambler.

It is much better to gracefully accept the defeat than frenziedly seek to recover the lost money. Daily budget will help you avoid this situation whereby your personal money will be destroyed by your gambling habit. Early quitting will help save your future that is completely ruined. It is best that your feelings do not take advantage of you in any game of gambling and you lose.

[Patikno]

Trust me, recovering from gambling losses is incredibly difficult, especially if the amount yo have lost is substantial.

What if the amount lost is not substantial but just little amount of money like $20? This is how it will begin and the person will have in mind that he wants to recover from the loss, but the moment the person have it in mind that he wants to recover back looses, taking gambling for a means of making money, that is where the problem will begin for the person. Any amount of money that anyone can not afford to lose, the person should not even think of gambling with it.

Actually, chasing losses in gambling is not a wise way to find entertainment, including additional entertainment (profits from gambling). The wise way to gamble is to not overdo it in anything, whether it is allocating money to each gambling session, allocating time, or chasing losses. I completely agree with you about the bad habit of chasing losses, regardless of the amount, because this approach often leads to a deeper hole (losses). So, I suggest not overdoing it in chasing losses, or better yet, not doing it at all. It is better to keep gambling as entertainment in each session, and consider winnings as additional entertainment.

No matter how much you change the game, it does not automatically increase the chances of recovering part of the loss. Moreover, we know that in casino games, casinos have a mathematical advantage in the long run. Each new bet you make will add new risk. Bad results in the past will not bring good results in the future. So it can be clearly said that your friend's claim that he will recover his loss within three days is actually coming from emotion which is not realistic. Rather, such confidence can often lead them to the bad side of gambling.

You are right many gamblers believe that if they change from one game to another, their luck will eventually change but gambling doesn’t work that way. Every game has it own odds and casino still has house edge in the long run. Changing games can’t remove that mathematical advantage. This believe that I must recover everything within three days is an emotional thinking, not a reality plan. Nobody can predict when win will come and every bet is a fresh risk.

Previous losses does not mean that the next bet you play, you’re going to win, just as a previous wins doesn’t have guaranteed over another win. This kind of confidence can push someone to chase after losses, take unnecessary risks and increase stake sizes. That is how many people end up losing more than the original loss.  The best approach is to see losses as part gambling, never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose, and know when to stop. The wise decision isn’t to recover all your losses immediately but to take a break when necessary and protect your money.

It is impossible to recover what has been lost, your friend may be betting within normal limits so he has no hesitation in betting according to what he has lost, the greater the possibility of losing, the more difficult it is to turn things around, that is why when I gamble I do not count losses and wins

I don’t understand the extent to which the friend will even claim to have or will be with me to recover all his losses by switching type of game, unless there was actually no loss in the first place or just a round of losing, which could be easier to recover from than when someone is counting his entire losses and trying to recover them. I’m also on the same line as you; I don’t calculate all that I have lost in gambling. There's no point in doing that since I’m not going to try to chase how to recover it.

calculating what you have lost in gambling will give you depression and it will make you to feel like you are in relevant and you don't know what to do so it is best for you to use what you can afford to lose on the participate in the gambling, sometimes we do not calculate and also make a budget for our gambling that is the problem that most of us who are into gambling have, and the lack of having budget to participate in gambling is what make many of us to be chasing after our losses, so we need to know that.

Unlimited gambling will undoubtedly create huge challenges in your life. The best method of not being overwhelmed by frustration is coming up with a budget. Don’t allow the urge to win to take your common sense in gambling. Spending the money that you lost is much healthier to the mind than still being stressed about.

That's true, recovering losses isn't something a gambler should set their attention on even though there's a slim chance of recovering your losses it still doesn't mean that the risks is worth taking because at the end of the day you might just end up losing everything that you have all because you are chasing losses. Gambling to recover losses has to be the dumbest thing anyone can ever do because you cannot expect to get back what you have lost by continuing the same thing that put you in that position in the first place.

[justdimin]

Within myself i believe that it's actually hard to recover what someone lost why gambling and there is no day you can quickly recover what you lost today or last few days.
Okay, hard a friend who said that he can recover his loses within the next the few days or 3 days after, and he said; when he places bet with x amount and he loses it, he would switch over to casino game to gamble and by doing so he would be that lucky enough to recover what do lose while gambling. Then again asked again, how sure are you to recover from your previous loss and he said is 60/40, within me I know that is not possible because the probability is actually very poor.

That is not a strategy; it is just him getting lucky, and it's a coincidence, and this happens a lot in gambling. This thing often makes gamblers think or believe that they are actually able to recover their losses, but for a matter of fact, this eventually leads them to losing everything one day just because of this mindset, and I'll tell you how.

They start with a bet, lose it, and head over to a casino game to try and recover their money, but instead, they lose the deposited capital as well, and since they have the mindset that they can recover their losses, they make a larger deposit, whether at that exact time or maybe the next day, but guess what? They lose that as well, because it's gambling, and everything is random and unpredictable.

After losing consecutively, they start having mixed emotions, sad, angry, worried, anxious, and out of all those emotions, they decide that they are going to go all-in this time, deposit whatever they have at disposal and finally recover everything they have lost so far and call it a day and might even stay away from gambling for a few days, and then they deposit everything they have available, and start playing, but as we know, it's gambling, even if you have lost 50 consecutive bets, the chances of you losing the next bet will still be 50%, he loses again, and that's the end of the story and their mindset that they are able to recover their losses.

we are also arriving in the same point because in gambling the problem that most of us have today is lack of budget if we have a budget in gambling there's more thing will make us to spend in gambling understand thinking otherwise because of what we have lost, but as we have a budget in gambling we are not going to regret when we spend in gambling or after gambling so that is why it is necessary that everyone who is into gambling issue have a budget and the work on the budget so that when the lose they will not be looking after their losses

You will only give a headache if you will do such counting. And yes, you will get depressed if you keep this route. Do take note that there's no assurance that you will ever recover your losses. So in my opinion, better not to chase your losses and just limit your gambling expenses. That's more doable than recovering your losses and giving timeframe to recover such loss.
