We don’t really like talking about things like this, but I think this kind of topic is important and should be discussed among gamblers. Most of the time, we only want to talk about winning, and because of that, we sometimes forget that losing is not just possible, but something we’ll experience more often than winning. So let’s take some time to talk about it -- how do you handle losses?

This topic is really for gamblers who are consistent with gambling. Those who say they only do it occasionally or just for entertainment won’t really feel this the same way, and probably won’t feel the pain of losing either. So to my fellow gamblers, feel free to share your experience, and I hope we all still stay responsible even after going through tough losses.

As a gambler, either those that gamble for entertainment or addicted to gambling, I believe know one is happy to lose money, but it's easier for those that see it as an entertainment than the addicts. I will have had losses in gambler and I do feel bad, although I will categorize myself as those that see gambling as entertainment,  but I still don't like to lose. I think it's easier for me to move on because I gamble on money I can afford to lose and I don't gamble with some much expectations. That's why I still advocate on gambling responsibly.
If you gamble with an amount of money that you think will not negatively impact your circumstances then you are in classified correctly and responsible place. This strategy of being prepared to lose and playing for fun can meet your expectations. The moment of losing can give me a bad feeling, so playing responsibly for fun. Your strategy for not getting addicted is correct because your expectations from gambling are very low and I agree with that. Gambling addicts are not prepared to lose money, they always gamble to win.
