How I Transformed My Mindset When I Lost Big in Gambling and Felt Lost

"How can you change your mindset after losing money in gambling? Even when you know that continuing to gamble may make the situation worse, you still make the choice to gamble.

Why is it so hard to let go of gambling? It's all because of the chain of pain caused by losing money, making you wonder how to change your mindset and walk away from the pain of gambling.

See if you can do these two things:

1. Don't be stubborn; otherwise, you might end up losing even more. The phrase 'because of small losses, we suffer big ones' comes from a story about a king whose warhorse was missing a horseshoe nail. The king, determined to go into battle, ended up losing the entire war and a dynasty due to his eagerness to reclaim the missing nail. If you don't stop in time and insist on trying to recover what you've lost in gambling, you may end up losing even more. There's even a risk to your life. The money you've lost so far will pale in comparison to what you might lose by continuing to gamble. Let go of your current losses; otherwise, you'll create even more.

2. Adjust your mindset. I'm not telling you to go back to gambling, thinking, 'If I play it safe today, I might win; if I win, I won't get carried away, and I might not lose.' If your goal in adjusting your mindset is just to return to the gambling scene, you won't stay steady, and you'll eventually get carried away. You've had these thoughts before, haven't you? Haven't you still ended up where you are now? Adjusting your mindset is not about returning to the pinnacle of gambling; it's about learning self-discipline, planning, and shaping your future. Guarantee that you won't make the same mistakes again. The only way to achieve this is to keep yourself busy, accept the pain of letting go of gambling, and adjust your mindset.

If you're still trapped in gambling, the first thing you need to do now is to completely quit gambling and stop the losses. Of course, I haven't reached this point yet; the above advice is for those whose lives have been affected by their losses. Quit gambling, find a job, and focus on surviving for now."

You're absolutely right. Sometimes, gambling can be a love-hate relationship, and it's often fueled by our expectations. We tend to believe that we'll win eventually, and it's crucial to keep our mindset in check.

In the end, it all comes down to self-control. We know the methods, but it's a matter of whether our willpower is strong enough.

Exactly, when you're losing in gambling, it's not a good idea to keep trying to win it all back. Instead, adjust your mindset and approach, then try to recover your losses sensibly.

If you've reached a point where you've lost a lot, it can indeed be challenging. While there may be a way out, it's not an easy path. Fortunately, I haven't reached that point, so I'm not considering this issue.

Too much talk, just do it if you're not satisfied.
