I have won and lost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars almost every single day for several years.





The best way to cope is to learn that its just money and you wont die, in the end, you will continue to live and are only unhappy because you choose to be by letting yourself get down over it.





You came to battle the casinos, only either you or the casino could win money, this time it was the casino, this is always a possibility and you cant be upset about it.





Don't expect to win it back unless you learn to play with advantage or cheat and not get caught. As you lose more and more money, the probability of winning that much money back with the same sized bets decreases and approaches 0%





If you feel a need to gamble,. try learning about the concept of a house edge, and the probabilities of winning money as you play more and more trials.Does anyone have advice on how to cope with gambling losses?
Get into therapy. You probably can't tackle this addiction alone and not only can it ruin your emotional life, it can ruin your financial well-being. But first and foremost, forgive yourself. We all find ourselves turning toward unhealthy vices from time to time. Learn from this experience, realize you can't engage in any type of gambling again in the future, try to pass along your experience to others in a helpful way and channel your energy into something positive like a new hobby or form of entertainment. Also, besides a therapist, find a buddy that cares enough about you that you can talk to you when you feel especially down. Good luck! No pun intended! :)
