If you lose big (critical loss of money)

Lost all my money - what to do?

No matter how much you tell people that 30% of your actual income is the maximum amount that can be invested in high-risk projects, it makes no sense. From time to time, everyone gets "putty" and convulsive attempts to fight back drag them to the financial bottom.

It's good if you have a self-preservation instinct and don't touch the critical money of your budget. It's worse when a person loses everything, so much so that there's no money even for cigarettes and travel. It's even worse when panic lifts prohibitions and the loser starts stealing other people's money or taking everything to a pawnshop.

Gambling always has an unpredictable outcome. Over a long period of time, any player, even the most professional, sometimes ends up in inevitable loss, since the advantage of the gambling house over visitors always exists.

How to survive losing money if you've lost big?

The first time it seems like a disaster, but then you get used to it.

The psychology of reaction to loss is laid down in deep childhood. If a child does not know how to lose with dignity in children's games (gets offended, goes into hysterics, etc.), then as an adult, his reaction to serious losses of money may be inadequate.

The consequences of such an outcome of events may be different:
falling into a depressive state;
seeking solace in alcohol or drugs;
loss of family and job;
falling into debt;
constant attempts to win back, which leads to even greater losses;
in extreme cases – suicide.

If a person cannot survive a loss in gambling, then do not visit gambling establishments, even the most honest casinos. The probability that even the most professional player will lose in a casino is 100%. The question is only how quickly this will happen and at what point of loss will everyone stop.

A man lost all his money and even his clothes in a casino. He goes out naked into the street and walks upset, cursing everything in the world. Suddenly, an inner voice tells him:
- Stop! Not all is lost! You have a watch on your hand and a gold ring! Come back and put both of these things on black - you'll 100% win back!
The man was delighted and ran to the pawnshop, then returned to the casino. He made the coveted bet and... red came up!
Inner voice:
- Well, now everything is definitely lost, you can go home, but you did everything you could!

What are the ways out of the situation when losing a large sum of money?

1) Don't despair. You are not the first, you will not be the last.
If you start feeling sorry for yourself, nothing good will come of it. Prepare yourself for a long and difficult way out of the hole.

2) Never try to win back. It is absolutely proven that a loser has a completely inadequate psychological state, the number of critical errors will increase, and as a result, you will lose even more.

3) Perceive the loss as an inevitable outcome of this game day. Understand that right now the amount of money in the game will not solve anything - the system is on the fence. Record the missing money and come to terms with its loss.

4) People around you, especially in your family, will blame you for what happened, so it is better not to inform them about what happened at all (if you spent your money), since acute pressure from loved ones can become an impetus for the emergence of major depression and negative emotions.

5) Without positive emotions, it will be difficult for you to cope with the problem. Each person should have in reserve not only a love for gambling, but also other entertainments. Find a good and cheap way to distract yourself, to please yourself. Let it be even a trifle that you have long dreamed of buying or a useful thing that you have been putting off for a long time.

In any case, if you have persistent apathy, lack of interest in everything around you, panic, and you absolutely do not know what to do, then you will have to seek qualified medical help.

The consequences of gambling addiction and a string of big losses are very serious. This is a big test of the strength of your inner core. Remind yourself that the Universe is designed in such a way that it sends a person exactly as many tests as he can bear. At the same time, do not turn into a stupid donkey and do not aggravate your situation.

= condition "total ass" sets your brains straight and in the future you won't make stupid mistakes...

the main thing is don't try to fight back now, but restructure and gradually close the financial holes,

otherwise today's state will seem like a paradise to you, from where you can get if you don't slow down with the games

People start playing not from income, but from its (income) shortage or absence at all (zero profitability or deferred minus). Small wins allow to close the minus and improve profitability indicators for a very short period, based on deferred needs (any unforeseen expense). After which comes first zero and then again deferred minus. The situation repeats itself endlessly and life passes, it is equivalent to additional work (freelance, remotely or just spontaneous kalym). We have gathered here to break this cycle not for a short (longer than usual) period, but for good - once and for all, for generations to come...
Therefore, for those who are in the huge OPE - our efforts are the only chance! Therefore, gain wisdom and believe in the very possibility of implementing a method to break the cycle! Remember the movies - nowhere were such cycles broken easily and without victims!!! The only and huge request - do not be a hero!!! This is not a movie, our opponent - the gaming industry - is much more serious than any Hollywood idea of a cycle!

SEVEN WAYS TO "HOW TO COME BACK TO YOURSELF AFTER A BIG LOSS"

Remember the moments when the ball flies into the goal in the last seconds, an ace is revealed on the river, or the slot machine mercilessly ate all your money.

A deep and powerful awareness of loss occurs, it enters you like a large sharpened knife. The pressure rises, the skin turns red, the breathing becomes irregular. Anger begins to burn inside. You disappear, and a new person appears. Although it is more like a talking werewolf from Scandinavian legends. You want to be rude to someone, to take it out on loved ones and strangers. Every player goes through this pain.

WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE LOSS?
There is an expression "to pull God by the beard", which means to try your luck. You need to understand that fortune is fickle. Everything is great when it is on your side, and money is pouring in so that you only have time to line your pockets. But sometimes it is different. It is unpleasant, as if your wife, whom you loved so much, and you thought that your feelings were mutual, is cheating on you.

It is important to understand two things. First, it is impossible to always win, “there are no victories without defeats”. In gambling, the winners are flexible people who know how to adapt to circumstances.
Secondly, it is not an office job where you are paid a salary minus income tax at a set time. Here you can jump around trenches for a long time, dodge bullets, die under tank tracks - the path to the roof of the Reichstag is very thorny.

HOW TO RECOVER AFTER A LOSS?
And then everything went dark before my eyes, and reality began to resemble a polygon cut into pieces.

The first thing, as many believe, is to put the refrigerator on your knees and throw high-carb food into yourself until you feel better. You can run to the nearest bar and get drunk. Go outside and just walk into nowhere.

All this is for schoolchildren. Social status is determined not by age and occupation, but by the state of mind and the understanding that there are other options for action.

Jacobson Method
Jacobson's neuromuscular relaxation can work wonders, like David Copperfield, with one exception - there is no catch. The entire technique is based on the example of a zebra: black after white, tension after relaxation. The simplest exercise is to squeeze your hand so that you feel how your fingers dig into your palm, then reverse the process and relax. It is important to concentrate on the sensations. A few ebbs and flows, and you are ready to see the beauty in this world again.

Soda bath
Go to the nearest supermarket and buy a red and yellow pack of this miracle powder. Fill a hot bath and pour in the contents of the pack. Stir well and jump into the relaxation vessel, having previously set the alarm for half an hour. After 30 minutes, you can get out and enjoy the world. If you want to shed a tear of happiness, drink a bottle of mineral water after the procedure.

"Cricotherapy"
Modern language has no suitable word to describe the method, so we have to use a made-up neologism. In short, it is necessary to “scream out”, “make noise” out of yourself everything that has accumulated inside from the outcomes of the gambling craft. For example, about bad luck in poker, moving and dubious hands.
A very effective thing, though not suitable for everyone. If the walls in your apartment are thin or you live in a big city, then practicing scream therapy is fraught with consequences. In addition to losing money, you may end up spending a night in a police station or a psychiatric clinic.

Like Zuckerberg
In Silicon Valley, managers have long adopted meditation as a weapon. When you are constantly stressed, nervous, and at the same time work a lot, it is easy to turn into a homeless rag.
Meditation is generally simple, the main thing is to try it. Lie down in a comfortable position, close your eyes and concentrate on your own thoughts and feelings. Continue until the clouds and cold in your mind are replaced by sunny weather. The procedure usually takes 20-40 minutes.
