The best way to forget a painful loss is don`t lose painful sums. Sounds funny enough, but it works. My bet size depends on bankroll and i recalculate it regularly. So when i lose - i lose just some small percent of bankroll. I return it with the next bet.
PS. I tried but i can`t remember serious loss that made me suffer.
PPS. The problem only that with small losses your win would be small too.
That's right. Who cares about losing a few bucks? I'm sure very few people would care if they lose around 0.5% of their bankroll in a session. A loss is mostly felt when the amount lost is severe, that's when you see a gambler finding it hard to forget a loss. And this is why an effective bankroll management is very essential to every gambler, and also gambling with an amount that they can actually afford to lose, gambling losses are unavoidable so it's only wise to prepare and anticipate those losses, so that when they come, you wouldn't have to feel much of the impact.
It is well-known fact, but the main part of big losers don`t remember about it - they think about big wins. That`s why they lose and cry after it.
I often says that poor people mostly have problem with education, so they don`t understand how maths works and think that game is about luck. But it is about numbers. RTP always less than 100% -> player always lose on a distance. Just decrease your hurt before you lose.
