Every loss teaches us something, so I try not to forget at all.
That must be a large brain retention ability, all my losses in gambling is way too much to be able to think about them all, only new gamblers can do this, there are some losses that I can forget because of the circumstance around them and some were the events of the game, but a usual gambler can not keep all of their losses in their head. I just try to forget my loss and a win helps me do that.

And it's true, winning significantly helps to forget losses. Typically, people only remember a few of them, the first seemingly dramatic loss and major losses. If someone talks too often about their gambling experiences to others, whether it's about losses or wins, it will certainly make it difficult for them to forget. This heavily depends on a person character, and in my opinion, it's better not to share much about gambling experiences with others.

Instead of remembering losses, I believe many people are more inclined to remember wins, especially wins at specific moments, regardless of the amount for instance, when they desperately needed money. However, both losses and wins can push someone into gambling addiction. Those who lose tend to want to chase their losses, while winners also tend to become hooked.
Most people are actively suppressing memories of losses to preserve their ego regardless of how much they are winning. This is a sign of weakness of character. Instead of bravely admitting their mistakes, they run away from them like little children and try to hide that they did something wrong. This is actually one of the main reasons why gamblers continue to repeat the same mistakes, besides compulsion that is created by addiction. Unless you are able to bravely admit that you did something wrong then you can't learn anything from it.
Totally depends on a certain individual but since we are that speaking about gambling specially to those who are casino lovers then the level or how fast that they would be able to forget those loses then it would be that something that do talks about being insteand. With a fast paced kind of gambling game then you would definitely be having that kind of chance that you will be just that simply forget and move on with those loses that you had committed out and also when you are that playing on fast paced manner then a single win will be that wiping out completely those series of loses that you had experienced earlier. You might be that having that feeling of disappointment on which it would be leading up into frustration until you would be doing up actions on which it shouldbt be supposed to be done. In gambling then loses are mot that very rampant than into those people who do able to make money and that the reality on which you shouldnt that aiming for that because it will be that making up yourself to be that becoming desperate and if you are losing then that would be a trigger for you to lose up that control.

You should that easily move on when you are playing gambling and not just that simply trying out to become impulsive at the time that you do gamble. Never ever make yourself having that kind of positivity that you can make sure money with gambling. Come to think that these things were made just for the sake of fun and entertainment and not something that brings up some income into those gamblers who are dealing up with it. Theer are just those times that you do become that optimistic because of the things that you've been that dealing into. There are those situations that you might be ending up that too positive but still you would be losing up in the end of the day on which it will be bringing out that kind of frustration on which it will be leading into those actions on which arent supposed to be done.
