"What’s your worst loss, and how did you cope afterward? "

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?
TBH, I can't remember the last time that I experienced myself on the lowest state just because I lost money in gambling because whenever I lost my money, I don't even dwell about it for such a long time.

I guess I'll just share the time when I was still new to gambling. I remember I deposited at around 50$ on my gambling account. Here in our country, 50$ is already huge so to cut the story short, I gambled 10$ on it then lost, then gambled another 10$ on a sports bet and lost again. Because of frustration, I went all in on a team that has almost a sure chance of winning, but instead the other team won losing all of my money.

What did I felt? I felt frustrated as what other gamblers will experience as well, but the way I coped up with that lose of mine is playing online games. During that time, I'm also into MMORPG, and I just spent my time playing the game, and at the same time, killing other players just to release my frustration, and after a few hours of doing it, I'm fine already. We have a different coping mechanism when we lose our money into gambling, but it's good to have one just so that we will not feel depressed if we lose.
