Believing that you will always win in a casino would be naive. Even when you reach the highest peaks of excellence or master unique techniques, you will sometimes have to deal with unpleasant situations like a loss.
Hopefully, you manage to avoid too high losses, but you can't exclude such a situation. Moreover, be ready for a whole series of defeats and treat them as a regular aspect of gambling, reducing the level of which is constant work to do.
It would help if you learn to keep a sober mind and stay cool in the face of such strikes of fortune and never lose dignity.
This is especially important if you are playing in a land-based casino in front of other employees and visitors. No matter how hard it is for you to lose money, others must think you do it with ease. This will make them respect you and save you from sarcastic smiles.
Even the most honest and generous casino makes a profit, so every game has a house edge.
Of course, mistakes in the design of loyalty programs, jackpots, and giveaways are possible games, and the most experienced players successfully use them, but such cases are rare. So be prepared to lose time after time.
Many famous players with years of experience are talking about long series of failures, during which they could change tables, casinos, and even games but could not succeed. It's inevitable if you don't resort to fraud.
What Should I Do After a Loss?
This has already been mentioned a lot, but still:
Never try to win back by all means by raising the bets.
If you stick to a particular strategy (and we hope you do), continue following it. Rather than trying to change the situation, it is better to take a break and analyze. It will not be easy right away.
You may allow a blunder but cannot recognize it in the heat of passion. Relax and reflect on why you lost. Is it a consequence of bad luck, excessive passion, or perhaps you just cheated? It's easier to sort out when you are calm.
You must understand that if you do not learn from other players' mistakes, you must at least avoid repeating your own.
Every failure should teach you something. Perhaps losing some amount will be an invaluable lesson you would never learn from winning.
Many players who've been insanely lucky at the start of their careers got used to the idea losing was impossible and then lost everything to the last penny without understanding what was happening. If a casino career started with failures, a player learned to analyze what was happening, mastered the nuances of rules, and studied the strategy that allowed him to climb to a new level of excellence.
Consequently, we can recommend doing so.
- When you understand a lousy streak is here, stop the game, recover from the stress of losing, and start analyzing the situation.
- It must be eliminated if you find a weak spot in your strategy.
- If the loss results from bad luck, and you did not take unreasonable actions during the game, do not worry. Relax and go on.
Constantly losing or consistently winning is impossible.
After a significant loss or a long, lousy streak, do not forget to adjust your bets with the remaining funds. Maybe it's time to lower the stakes. Entering the game without an adequate money supply increases your chances of losing. The size of your bankroll should always match your chosen strategy. In the end, if necessary, revise the strategy itself. Perhaps, you are making a recurring mistake.
How Should I Behave When I Lose?
Never forget about self-esteem.
In land-based casinos, please do not be rude to the staff, and do not accuse them of fraud. You better stop the game and not visit this casino even if you see it. Achieving justice, in this case, is only possible with an excellent reputation. Otherwise, you will be asked to leave and be on the blacklist.
Losing in the online casino, do not rush to flood the forums with accusations of cheating. It is incredibly pointless to throw it on technical support and casino management. Contact them only in the case of site failures, errors in calculation, or questions.
To sweeten the bitterness of your loss, think of Terrence Watanabe, who lost about one hundred twenty-five million dollars in blackjack.
Summary
Loss is an unpleasant but inevitable part of the game.
If you plan to visit a casino regularly, be mentally and financially prepared to lose. Learn to get through it and play by reasonable bets.
