During gambling i can forget my small loss quickly probably it took only a few days but for big loss unfortunately i cannot forget it although it was happened few years ago it because this loses make me stress out and i got the trauma even i still remember the amount of money i have loss and the game which i played at that time but the difference is currently i can accept the reality that those loses is not more than a bad luck and i can learn from my previous mistakes

Dont you find it great that you can not forget your bad experience and it saves you from repeating same mistake; a mistake or choosing wrong size of a bet/being to confident/fact that you have used to big  amount to gamble that it stresses you? You will forget that stressful moment only when you will have a more stressful one, making your lost best kind of a protection, a barrier.

The mistakes we make in gambling are not conscious mistakes but rather the reality. As a gambler you must lose but the spirit of trying and hoping to win will always make the gambler to keep trying despite how big the loss is. In fact, when the losses are big, the more painful it is and the more difficult it becomes to stop. At this moment even a little win becomes source of smile and hope for the gambler and he will forget all his losses in a hurry. This is the tricky thing about gambling. The gambler can just have a win with his last stake and that will become a confidence booster for him and instead of becoming more calculative this time he will start feeling that this is the best time to recover from all his losses but this is where the bigger mistake lies - when a gambler wants to recover from losses. No matter how bad you lose as a gambler, chasing losses will be more devastating.
