Re: How quickly do you forget a loss

So how fast do you forget a loss and what can help you in forgetting about it.

I forget very quickly. As soon as I see that I lost my bet, I forget about it and move on, because I have a rule that I shouldn't put exaggerated feelings into gambling; it destroys people. When someone plays and loses, after that, they keep thinking about the game they lost, so that person needs to be very careful because they can start developing gambling problems.

The person will start thinking about how they could win, they will start thinking about recovering the amount they lost at the casino, this will lead them to think about getting into debt to continue playing. I'm glad I don't think about the games I lost.

True Many people forget loses easily what they are actually after is the wining and so doesn't really give much attention to their loses by giving attention to it the need to get a win is what blind folds every gambler and again there is no need killing yourself over a slip that is lost you can't get it back so the best thing to do is to move on and stop thinking or blaming yourself about it

Forgetting about a lose is not easy, people who quickly forget are those who use discretionary money and are not high stakers, I don’t put much money into gambling so personally I don’t feel it and I easily forget a loss, but someone who is a high stake gambler puts in a lot of money and when he loses it I’m not sure he’ll forget that in a hurry though the best mindset of gambling is being able to move on from losses. Your ability to control yourself is key, if one is in a hurry to win back the lost money you might end up losing more.
