General Getting over a big loss

[zohan]

Try to picture a day in which your gambling day starts with chasing losses. You've already spent $500 but just when you are at $70, you make it back to $1500. You go on and get to $3000. A voice in your head is telling you to withdrawing your winnings and head home but you keep imagining that this is your luckiest day on earth. Before you realize it, all your winnings are gone. There's nothing as horrific as losing money then beginning to think about what you'd do with all that money. I guess in such instances, it is best to stay away from gambling for sometime. Other people can never do this though, they'll keep trying their luck.

Every gambler has a bad day at the casino but over time, I think the seasoned gambler learns to limit these losses. I once lost a huge sum of money (and no single day passes without me thinking of it) but this was a learning process. At the end of the day, you have to lay down principles and try to stick to them.

This is something that I am still learning at the moment. I still don't know where to stop sometimes. I guess it happens in time and after playing for a while.

Keep going JB. What I've realized is that there's nothing like a script to stick to when padding through the 'murky' gambling waters. You will make mistakes but out of it will sprout etiquette and gambling discipline.

Big losses are sometimes needed to give us a wake up call so we can reevaluate our strategies and why we gamble. I find that sometimes the loss isn't as bad as it seems if you can learn from it.

The problem here is that most times, people don't actually learn a thing or two from the big losses; they will in fact continue betting with an aim of recouping what was lost. Most times, this doesn't work just in the same way people are always discouraged from gambling on all their winnings.

You make a good point and I agree, for some people the temptation is too much and they're driven to try to redeem their selves or they'll continue to gamble in hopes of minimizing the loss. However, sometimes people can learn from their mistake.

I always say that every successful gambler has, at one point or two, lost some money. We should all learn from our mistakes and that's why I always ensure that there's a limit to how much of my winnings I can put back.
