If you're gambling, this is the part of gambling you have to deal with. Never gamble with money you need to live on. Only gamble with money you don't need for anything important.

If you find you are gambling with money you need to live, then you have a gambling problem. There are people who like the thrill of gambling, just like people who like the thrill of getting high on drugs and will do and spend any amount of money to get that thrill.

If you're one of those people, you have a gambling problem and should get help to stop gambling. There's no way to mentally handle losing. It's a fact of gambling, and there are always far more losses than wins.

If you're gambling for anything more than entertainment, you're in a losing battle. Get the help you need through a competent therapist.

You have an easier time using ideas and work to make millions than you do gambling on lottery tickets. My uncle told me the one who trademarked the smiley face is a billionaire. I know another family who became billionaires by patenting a ball point pen cap. I used to hang out with their nephew because he was friends with my best friend.

accept you lost that and learn your lesson. If it wasn't much, you can count it as a cheap education in wisdom that will save you millions when you invest in the stock market... which will wipe you out if you do that crap.

Be thankful you are alive, recognize gambling is not worth it, figure out why you did it and don't do it again. Learn how to make good investments.

gambling hotlines is a thing.

Even in a fair game of whatever majority of people are going to lose. MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE for someone else to win big.

I don't think gambling is for you, pally. Like Kenny Rogers said "you have to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em"

Not a gambler here. Why would I want to pay $ to lose it?

I never gamble. Not with money anyway.
