My question is, can you remember a time when you reached your threshold of loss while gambling?

I can't remember because it happened multiple times, I'd say, more than a hundred times. I have a daily limit which is different depending on how much I earn at the time, and when the limit is exceeded I usually stop. It can be a daily limit, or a session limit, and sometimes, although rare, it's a weekly limit that is exceeded in one day. Yeah, that's actually bad, I know. That means I exceed several times my daily limit. Nothing to be proud of, really. But what I am proud of is I don't play for a week after that. I don't try to recover my looses so that I could play again tomorrow. No. I just stop, and forget about gambling for a week.

You may still have control and be able to control your emotions at gambling, but most people when they have experienced a lot of losses and cross their loss threshold, they will panic more and not think about how much they have lost. it will get really bad if you keep repeating it every day. But you choose not to play for a week when the loss threshold has been exceeded. Trying to recover from a defeat with unstable emotions and done only in the same day, will only result in another defeat.
I just wanted to ask, do you have any other strategy to really recover from all those losses?

Gambling to me is like going to a movie theater and watching a movie. Do I have a strategy to "recover from all those losses", I mean, the money spent on movie tickets? No. I think, no one does. Smiley The only difference between playing slots and going to movies is that accidentally you can earn thousands times your bet with the former. But "accidentally" is the keyword here. You can't, and you shouldn't, count on it.
