Losing certainly won't come with a good feeling and most gamblers are not able to process such emotions because they are not mature enough mentally... It's normal to feel unhappy when you lose but just like you said, you don't allow those feelings to get to you... it's the responsibility of the gambler to suppress those negative emotions otherwise it can propel the gambler to start chasing losses.
"Race for losses"? Hmmm... Interesting definition. How well I understand this state. And all because this was the reason for my gambling addiction. I did not want to put up with such losses. I thought that I would be able to hit a big win one day and then all my losses would be offset. And what happened? That's right. This did not happen. It only got much worse. I flew rapidly into the financial abyss and there was no limit to it. I managed to stop in time. This is not my merit, but my loved ones, who realized the scale of the problem in time and reacted appropriately. Without them, I don't even know what would have happened next.
