That's true mate, I won't lie, I have also tried this before, whenever I start inquiring loses, I do tend to try to win them back but that was before during my dark days in gambling and it took self discipline for me to actually stop this habit and whenever you are trying to win back your funds, every new you play will feel like a positive win till the game is actually decided and then you will know that your thoughts doesn't control the results of the game.
This is normal for many gamblers, not just you, because when we lose, we may want to recover the loss so that the lost money can be returned and we can win. But we also know that recovering losses is very difficult, especially since we are already in a losing position, so even if we continue gambling, it will still be difficult for us to recover losses. Apart from that, we also have the opportunity to experience loss again while we are still determining whether we can win or lose. We need self-discipline to stop this habit, but if we practice it regularly, we can stop it. In the end, we will no longer chase losses because we have experienced bigger losses before.
It’s really hard to recover losses if your main goal in gambling is just to have profit since the house edge will not permit you to win consistently against the house. Human error through emotion is one of the biggest enemy of players that’s why they keep losing. You can lose everything even if you are initially winning with just one moment that will make you tilted during the game.
I personally don’t view my gambling records nor compute my total lose/win since it will will just affect my mind to gamble more instead of just gambling just for fun during free time.
