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.
This is a common occurrence among almost every gambler. In many cases, this is caused by an inability to accept defeat. A mindset that only accepts victory is one of the triggers for this downfall. So, when experiencing defeat, this type of gambler will continue to make deposits, hoping to recoup their previous losses, and so on until they have no money left. This is a critical mistake that must be anticipated in advance. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a gambling budget from the outset. This way, when losses occur, you are prepared to stop immediately because your budget has been exhausted. Additionally, this approach is beneficial for your mental well-being, as it helps prevent excessive stress from losses.
