I always played carefully, so this never happened to me. But I am interested in whether it has happened to you before and how you rebuilt yourselves afterwards.
The only time that I lost a lot of money gambling was with sports bets. When I place these bets I always do my research so they are not just impulsive. This bet was the closest thing to a "sure thing" that I could have put my money into and of course it lost! There are no "sure things" in gambling or it wouldn't be gambling would it?
I don't like losing sports bets of any size so what I do after a loss is to focus on something else. I used to dwell on these losses which is no good and will just put you in a depressed state of mind. So, I learned to concentrate on things away from gambling so that I could get my act together again.
Nothing you can do actually. Just play sports, spend time with family and friends and slowly forget about the loss.
Hungry for knowledge 🧐
If you make a bet, which for you is "a lot of money" you've already made a mistake. Never bet more than you can feel comfortable losing.
I take a break and try to focus on other stuff for instance work, family and hobbies.
Take a break from gambling for a bit and maybe take some time to do other fun stuff or spend time with family. Basically until the feeling subsides. Losing is a part of gambling and eventually you learn to deal with it over time.
I would probably laugh and think about how to better as a player. I think it's important to learn to accept losses and dwelling on it would not benefit me anyway
@facebook-sonnyborja Very true; always be smart about these type of things. Losing isnt everything and you just need to find a way to bounce back
I haven't lost any such huge sum. But if I did, I'd probably reboot my circuits and start fresh. Losing money stings, but bouncing back is all about learning from it and making smarter moves next time.
I'm a person who overthinks a lot, and if I lose a “large sum” I can't get it our of my head for days. But eventually with time I forget about it.
Quick self-reflection and quick moving on. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do anymore and you have to accept the fact you made choices with consequences. Just better learn next time.
@facebook-samanthadelafuente That's right. The best way to come back from a loss is to learn from it. That way you don't make the same mistake twice and come up with a strategy that may work better
