I just want to bring this up since almost everyone here has probably gone through it at some point. When you’re on a losing streak, especially after back-to-back bad beats, the temptation to chase and go bigger on the next bet is really strong. Some call it tilt, others just see it as frustration kicking in.
So my question is, how do you personally deal with tilt? Do you stop betting for the day, reduce your stakes, or maybe change sports altogether just to reset your mind? I’d like to hear how different bettors handle this, since losing streaks are really part of the grind no matter how good your strategy is.
My personal and effective solution to it is rather straight forward and had always worked, specially when I feel the temptation of chasing losses to kick in my brain. I simple log out the casino and disconnect myself from gambling while I feel those feelings, it could take some days (up to two weeks, depending on the size of the bankroll I lost), but eventually I cool down and go back to the casino, feeling fresh again and already with all the losses forgotten.
The trick is to make difficult for ourselves to carry out any compulsive action which would put our savings/ monthly pay in danger.
The most extreme scenario would be to lose it all and feel the urge for ask for loans.
