Ways to Calm Yourself After a Loss (So You Don’t Feel Too Sad)

[davis196]

We all know how it feels when you lose a bet that you really believed in. Sometimes it hits harder when you think the amount is too big to accept, like losing $100 and it already ruins your mood. But here’s one thing that helps me calm down: I remind myself that others lose way more and still move on. Some lose $1,000 or even millions, yet they’re still out there gambling.

It’s all about mindset. Once you realize that losing is part of the game, it gets easier to accept it.
You don’t have to like it, but you can at least make peace with it.

I don't have to calm myself after a loss, because I'm a moderate gambler and I bet only small amounts. I can't imagine losing 1000 USD or more via a single bet. That would be worse than a punch in the stomach(or a kick in the balls). Losing even several dollars worth of crypto can ruin my mood, but this is part of the game. Being frustrated is also a part of life. We can't be in a good mood all the time. When I'm having a bad day I just stop gambling and try to distract myself by watching Youtube videos or reading a book. This doesn't work all the time. Meditation also helps, when your mind is too focused on past mistakes. Taking a deep breath and realizing that life is ups and downs. Progress is moving from one failure to another until you succeed.

Should we wait till we got into a situation that needs for our calmness in gambling before knowing the necessary things to do and not to do, as responsible gambling is not everyone's common trait found in them, as we can't also seem to take everything for granted, we must be able to do them accordingly, we should not go through the hard way before we learn what is supposed to be done the proper way with gambling.

Just the facts, the stitch in time should have been a beacon for any gambler weather good or bad as that will always retract such gambler from going astray if regretting the whole time proper moderation is very important. I encountered a gambler who told me when he loose much, the only solution is meeting a girl who make him feel free, in my way of analysis I called it madness as the nitty gritty of his losses can't be solved but wasting time feeling that woman around him solve the issues, because after the process the losses can't be recovered, the only option is avoiding that which will leads to that excessive losses in the gambling which seems to go beyond one's limit.

The feeling of losing is something one cannot easily get off the mind no matter how hard it seems.
Especially in a situation where you put in so much money into a bet with high expectations given the statistics and it goes the opposite way.

The best way I try to take in the lose is to spend some time with friends and remind myself that it's not the end.
I would definitely get back everything I lost, time is what it would take. These are thoughts I would have in mind to convince myself that it would definitely get better.

This is one funny mistake so many gambler makes by gambling with what they can't afford to lose. It won't be easy on a gambler that gamble with what they can't afford to lose . It will be very difficult for them to be able to handle such loss. It will even become worst when you begin to entertain the idea that you will recover what you have lost. This will only make you to start chasing losses with the hope that you are going to get it back . The only way to withstand loss is to gamble with only what you can afford to lose so incase there is loss we won't feel the impact that much and we can be able to forget easily.

Positive support from friends, relatives or close friends is indeed important to rebuild confidence
so that you are not too traumatized by the losses that occur after gambling.

It's not easy to recover from a defeat that really becomes the end of everything,
there's a feeling of regret, resentment on the game, and more thoughts of repaying that loss.

Many examples have occurred in my neighborhood when someone loses more money on illegal gambling,
they look stressed and have no other purpose than to gamble and make a profit.

Unfortunately, many people don't know how to deal with losses. When they don't pursue losses, they resort to alcohol, thinking that this will help them cope. Just a few hours ago, I saw a young man here in my country causing a disturbance, and nobody understood exactly what he wanted. I honestly wondered why on earth he consumed alcohol to act that way. In other cases, young people in my country commit suicide when they lose money gambling or playing the game Aviator.

Accepting is indeed the easiest to move on. Based on my experience, having a bankroll that I’m okay to lose is the most easiest way to move on with losses without any reasoning that requires to be more creative.

I usually just stop thinking about it after my bet because I easily accept the result since there’s no merit on lingering the missed bets if this will just makes me in bad mood.

You have a point, it's exhausting to think of ways to get over the feeling of losses because no matter what you do those thoughts would still be in your head, the best thing you can do is to accept your losses and just move on, it's better than trying to distract your mind to avoid thinking about it. As for me, I stopped putting myself in those kind of situations because I always gamble with amounts I can afford to lose.

I don't know but here in my place, people tend to drink either they lose or win. They drink when they win to celebrate it, and when they lose, they tend to drink as well to forget what happened earlier. And what's crazy is that when they drink more because they lost, a large volume of alcohol will be consumed as they try to drown themselves because of frustration, and then the next morning they will be empty-handed. That the worst way of calming ones self during a loss in gambling lol.

You can also be happy that youre still alive and breathing! You can also be thankful. Even for losing because along with the loss comes a lesson and as long as you can see it this way you can even learn restraint and self control because its like touching fire, you can get burned. Thankfully burns heal!
