As for me, when I have one of those days that I have a big loss, it's more on a mental trauma to me. I can't function as normal, I went into depression mode, can't get out of my bed and go to work and will just call my boss that I'm sick. And this might take to 3 days or even a whole week. And of course, the physical effect as well, I can't eat and so I lose a lot of weight.
How about you guys? Did you experience this when you gamble a lot?
I can at least feel how complicated the situation can be when someone loses a lot of money, especially more than they can afford to lose. I myself used to like to gamble a lot. At one point, when my losses were very high, I tried to understand a little about my gambling to see why I was losing so much money on gambling. Had I started to think of gambling as a source of income? Surely those who spend a lot of money on gambling have same purpose. Anyway, I tried to move away from that position. Although I had some difficulty because my losses were very high at that time and it's really hard to stay normal during the time. but gradually I was able to come to a normal life. Those who are betting with the expectation of winning big from gambling need to change their purpose or they will have a bitter experience. If you have money to lose, it is good to bet.
