- Don't try to win back your losses. Every player experiences losing streaks after which there is a desire to recover, and for this increase the bet, but this should never be done. Accept a loss as an inevitable part of gambling, be ready for it, and strictly stick to your bet limits. If you feel tired take a break it is always good for your emotional stability.
Chasing losses is one thing a gambler should resist himself from having because the side effect of that is very bad and you may not be able to recover from those losses ever again. Chasing your loss means you’re going against your rules set aside and ones you’ve done that, you’re exposing yourself more to dangers because your bankroll will not have control again and will suffer this decision you’re about to take to recover your loss funds. Losing is part of gambling and when you are okay with that, your gambling journey won’t make you so emotional to take decisions that are not worth it. Betting twice as much as you didn’t plan for because you’re chasing a loss is detrimental to your chances of winning, making the odds of losing higher on your side.
I have been lucky a few times chasing losses and it actually feel good when you succeed in recovering your big loss and ended in profits. However, the worst losses I have incurred in gambling happened because I was chasing losses. If I compare how much I have made from chasing losses and how much I have lost doing same, it is right to simply say that chasing losses is a waste of time and something every one gambling must avoid. We already know that sometimes losses are bound to happen, our job is to reduce those losses and gamble with amount that will not put us under pressure.
